good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: major health reforms are unveiled, as the government spells out its plans for the nhs. but there's concern over the timing in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. confusion over whether or not you'll be able to take a summer getaway — the health secretary insists he's still off to cornwall. parts of the uk have seen the coldest night in more than a decade. temperatures fell to minus 21.4, as the big freeze continues. indeed. we have seen temperatures drop below —21 degrees in parts of scotland. a full rundown later this

morning. good morning. businesses on the brink — the number of companies going bust could double this year, as the pain of the pandemic kicks in. i'll speak to three people holding it together. good morning. a nine—goal thriller, in the fa cup, as everton beat spurs 5—4 in extra time, to book their place in the quarterfinals. this place, the royal manchester children's hospital, is like my second home. i've been here more than 50 times because i have leukaemia. the two best friends who raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for a children's hospital, we'll see how the money will be spent. good morning. it's thursday, 11th february. our top story. the nhs in england is facing a major overhaul, as the government sets out how it plans to shake up the health and social care system. the changes would see hospitals, gp services and social care providers working together more, while the role of the private sector would be reduced.

here's our health correspondent, nick triggle. the reforms brought in by david cameron's government were deeply controversial. they were meant to usher in an era of competition and innovation. but a white paper, to be published later, will begin the process of unpicking them. out will go requirements on tendering contracts, and instead councils and nhs services will be told to pool resources and decision making. ministers believe it will help meet the challenges of the ageing population and rise in numbers with chronic conditions. those working in the health service said many of the rules were time consuming, frustrating and stressful. there is a bit of a risk. we've had a lot of experience, unfortunately, of restructuring in the nhs. and while everyone says, we hope it won't cause a lot of disruption, it is a bit of a risk here that we have a lot of people distracted from the job of planning services for the future,

planning the recovery from covid, or indeed, actually we're still in covid, perhaps even being distracted from from that. nhs and council leaders say changes are needed, although the local government association warned social care is still short of funding. and labour questioned the timing, saying the pandemic was stretching services to their limits. nick triggle, bbc news. we'll be speaking to the shadow health secretary, jonathan ashworth, just after seven. the health secretary, matt hancock, willjoin us at half past seven. labour have accused the government of mixed messages over whether or not people in the uk will be able to get away for a summer holiday. the transport secretary has warned no—one should be booking trips, at home or abroad. but last night the health secretary told some mps that he'd already booked his family's getaway — and that he's optimistic about the summer. charlotte wright reports. in the depths of a winter lockdown,

many of us are hankering for moments like these, optimistic as the vaccination roll—out continues. but sunnier climes might be even further than we'd hoped. the latest message from one government minister, summer holidays are on hold, at home or away. please don't go ahead and book holidays for something which, at this stage, is illegal to actually go and do, whether it's here or abroad. and then, you know, further down the line, i simply don't know the answer to the question of where we'll be up to this summer. but despite that warning, some of his colleagues have already made plans. i'm going to cornwall, and i've said before, i think we're going to have a great british summer. and it's a claim the health secretary stood by. just hours after the transport secretary told us not to book trips, matt hancock repeated his plans to head to the south—west during a video call with backbench mps. at around the same time, though, speaking to the nation,

the prime minister was sounding less certain. as everybody knows, it's currently illegal to go on holiday. that's the state of play at the moment. we're looking at the data every day. i'm afraid it is just too early for people to be certain about what we'll be able to do this summer. there are concerns in the travel industry about the financial impact of losing another summer. frustration, perhaps, too, among those eager for something to look forward to. but with the pandemic still raging, there are, as yet, no guarantees from the government. charlotte wright, bbc news. there have been calls for an extension of the stamp duty holiday in next month's budget, as buyers and sellers face delays in completing deals. the popularity of the concession, combined with covid restrictions, have slowed the process of property sales, leading to fears that many may not be completed before the stamp duty holiday ends in march.

will democrat prosecutors in donald trump's impeachment trial have been showing new footage of the attack on capitol hill. they've accused mr trump of acting as "inciter—in—chief" in the run—up to the violence. the former president's lawyers deny the claims. our washington correspondent barbara plett usher reports. democrats used chilling new security video to reconstruct what happened during the riot. forcing senators to relive that traumatic day. we've lost the line! this was a key part of a sweeping narrative against the former president, laid out by the prosecution. donald trump surrendered his role as commander—in—chief and became the inciter—in—chief of a dangerous interaction. and to use a favourite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal.

democrats argue that mr trump spent months constructing a big lie to make his supporters believe the election was stolen. and he used fighting words when he knew some of them were armed and would fight. donald trump, over many months, cultivated violence. praised it. and then, when he saw the violence his supporters were capable of, he channelled it to this big, wild, historic event. the video showed how closely the mob got to officials. the former vice president, mike pence, being rushed to safety. senator mitt romney turning around in his tracks. the compelling case, told with emotional appeal, was one that touched hearts in the senate, although not necessarily minds. many republican senators seemed unwilling to be convinced that donald trump is guilty. but the democrats are also aiming at a broader audience watching from home, hoping to hold mr trump to account in the court of public appeal. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, washington.

millions of people in england over the age of 65 are at risk of lung damage and asthma attacks due to toxic air, according to two leading charities. asthma uk and the british lung foundation say that a quarter of all care homes, and a third of hospitals and gp practices, are in areas where pollution exceeds recommended levels. our chief environment correspondent justin rowlatt reports. we associate the seaside with fresh air and healthy living. "breathe it in", is eastbourne�*s motto. but like many places in the uk, it sometimes has issues with air pollution. as kimberly cole knows only too well. are you all right, kim? yeah. pollution is, erm, i would say, the biggest trigger really, to making my lungs worse. can you tell when the day is particularly polluted? yes, i can tell because it triggers coughing immediately.

kim has a lung condition called bronchiectasis, which leads to a build—up of mucus. it makes my lungs bleed. it makes your lungs actually bleed? yeah. and sometimes it can be so bad, the air pollution cough, the coughing, will make me physically sick. air pollution is dangerous for us all, but older people and those with lung disease are particularly vulnerable. one of the main culprits are the tiny particulates in vehicle exhaust gases and other pollutants. researchers collect the particles, which are so small they can lodge in the lungs and even pass into the blood, damaging veins and other organs. you can see that the lungs are very black and most of the lung tissue there has been destroyed. lung scans show the damage air pollution can cause. we estimate that at least 30,000 people every year die prematurely because of air pollution. we've known about the harms caused by pollution for a long time.

and so far, action on it has been has been slow and has been not enough. it's too little, it's too slow. the uk limits for this so—called pm 2.5 pollution here in the uk, are twice that recommended by the world health organisation. the british lung foundation and asthma uk are demanding the government bring uk rules in line, and they're also calling for it to produce a plan detailing how they're going to protect the most vulnerable from the effects of air pollution. an influential committee of mps is also calling for tougher controls. today, the government said it plans to introduce two ambitious and legally binding air quality targets in its delayed environment bill. it says the primary focus will be on reducing exposure to particulate pollution. we all know cleaner air brings profound health benefits. campaigners are hoping one of the positive legacies of the covid—i9 pandemic will be

fresher airfor us all. justin rowlatt, bbc news, easbourne. it looks beautiful there, doesn't it? it does, yeah. it has been cold for many of us. matt has got some unbelievable temperatures to talk about. yes, incredibly cold. the coldest since january 2010. down to —21, even lower in the past hour or two in braemar in aberdeenshire. it is cold wherever you are waking up. temperatures for the vast majority below freezing. —14 on the outskirts of aberdeen, —10 glasgow and edinburgh. less cold in northern ireland. some snow flurries. you can see across england and wales very few escaped a frost. temperatures down to —7, —8 in parts of east

anglia. light snow flurries in london and the south east in the next few hours. they are moving into parts of devon and cornwall. lovely bright start for the vast majority. a few snow flurries in northern ireland. some of the far north—east of scotland. not as much snow as recent days. towards the west parts of cornwall, pembrokeshire, could see some sleet and snow. wherever you are, it would be another very cold today. temperatures struggling to get above freezing. into this evening and overnight snow showers return to the north—east of mainland scotland. fife in particular. we will see some snow towards the west. another cold and frosty night. not quite as cold as the night gone. temperatures may be down to —10 or -11. with the temperatures may be down to —10 or —11. with the cold air in place, as we go into the weekend, the atlantic weather front is trying to push its way in, this time it could be the west that see some snow.

now my savings are gone. i don't know what to do. i can't find work. woolwich in south london, the royal artillery quays development, where costs are rising and expectations are lowering. how tough has this been for you? it's been very tough. i have nightmares sometimes. sometimes in the middle of the night, you know, the alarm goes off. you know, ijust wonder, where's the fire? my service charge has gone up by about £200 last year alone — that's £200 a month. so right now, i'm stuck in a property which i can't sell, no matter how hard i try. and i knock off the asking price. no one wants to buy it. no one wants to invest in property that's a fire risk. the government has pledged a further £3.5 billion to help with cladding, removal and repairs, on top of 1.6 billion already promised. what did you make of the government's announcement? i mean, it's a step in the right

direction, definitely. and, erm, you know, it's some relief for leaseholders like myself, who are in buildings about 18 metres. but, you know, there are other non—cladding—related issues that could costjust as much as, you know, the extraordinary amounts that we were expecting to pay for cladding, that hasn't been addressed. there's, again, the insurance premium costs. eh, and ijust think that more needs to be done. the management company here, rendall & rittner, says it understands how worrying and stressful this is for residents. it says it's making every effort to mitigate increases in service charges. housing developer barrett says the flats met all building regulations when they were built in 2003. it says it's working hard to find a solution. joe lives in a flat less than 18 metres high. the government says he would be able to access loans

to replace unsafe cladding. repayments, it says, won't ever exceed £50 a month. i feel betrayed, to be honest with you. i think, you know, if we have to have the same certification as buildings above 18 metres, and we still are required to have the ews1 form, then why are we hit by the same fire safety risks, you know, costs that the buildings higher than us are having to take on? it's an arbitrary... ..it�*s an arbitrary height that they've just clung on to. and i think if we all... ..if all of these buildings need to be made safe, then the height of the building shouldn't be an issue. but it's still unclear how the loan scheme will work, and how long residents could be repaying them for. in other towns and cities, uncertainty about cladding and fire regulations has grown. in birmingham, vicky is facing mounting costs and anxiety.

i wake up worrying about it. i go to sleep worrying about it. you know, i worry for the safety of my family. we bought our homes in good faith, erm, and now we're being being asked to foot the bill to put them right. government data released in december, showed the enormity of the task ahead. although huge sums have already been spent on planting removal and repairs in england, it's only been completed on around 30% of private sector buildings, and just over half of social housing blocks. all the way along the top as well. cladding was removed from deepa and gregory's block in south london in 2019, but they're now unable to get the external walls safety form they need to sell their flat. there are potential quality issues with our planning now, with the cladding that was remediated. we wanted to sell up last year and move on, because we have three children,

we're in a two—bed flat and can't have the children growing up, you know, in one bedroom together. you wake up in the morning and it's like, is there going to be a bill for, you know, 20, 30, £40,000? and the latest announcement really hasn't kind of put that to rest yet. the peabody housing association says that delays in getting the ews form don't mean that these flats are unsafe. the government says its latest funding measures will support leaseholders, restore confidence and ensure a situation like this never arises again. for many, though, there's no end to the uncertainty in sight. tim muffett, bbc news. the time now is 19 minutes past six. let's take a look at today's papers. the times leads on the prime minister's plea to the final two million people over 70, or working in the nhs, who are yet to receive their first covid jab. the newspaper says borisjohnson has warned that leaving large numbers of people unvaccinated could delay the easing of lockdown. the warning from transport secretary grant shapps that it is too soon to start making holiday plans,

features on many of thursday's front pages. "give us a break", is the headline on the front page of the daily mirror, which calls the warning a "new coronavirus blow". the guardian's front page has reaction to the government's announcement of a £3.5 billion fund to fix dangerous cladding on buildings. according to the paper, the prime minister is facing a backlash from his own mps. there are some amazing wintry scenes in the scottish sun, after parts of the country saw 1a inches of snow fall yesterday. the paper reports that weather warnings are in place for three days, as temperatures are expected to fall as low as —20c. i don't even want to know what that feels like at this minute. i i don't even want to know what that feels like at this minute.— feels like at this minute. i was auoin to feels like at this minute. i was going to give _ feels like at this minute. i was going to give you _ feels like at this minute. i was going to give you a _ feels like at this minute. i was going to give you a choice. - feels like at this minute. i was| going to give you a choice. you feels like at this minute. i was - going to give you a choice. you can find out about how much money hedge fund people are making. or you can find out whether pigs can be trained to control computerjoysticks. something tells me i know which one. i admire your honesty. hold on a

second. this is in the guardian and in the times. the doctor in charge of this is from indiana. she says the project had changed her view of the project had changed her view of the animals. she says, when i started the study i didn't know much about pigs. i like your honesty. but what i did know was negative. she said she thought they were dom and daugherty. now she knows differently because these pigs were trained to use a joystick to control images on a wall and it turned out they were very, very good at it. they presented them with a video game. pigs had to use a joystick to move a cursor around until it collided with them. they apparently learned how to do it. there is a picture. there is a picture! can you see it, the close—up? the peak actually using the joystick. close—up? the peak actually using thejoystick. it close-up? the peak actually using the joystick-— the “oystick. it has got a trotter. it the joystick. it has got a trotter. it uses the joystick. it has got a trotter. it uses its _ the joystick. it has got a trotter. it uses its snout, _ the joystick. it has got a trotter. it uses its snout, obviously. - the joystick. it has got a trotter. it uses its snout, obviously. i i

to double in 2021. so why is this rise coming? well, there are growing expectations that when support schemes like furlough scheme and government loans end, that many more businesses will go to the wall. and it's notjust big companies facing tough times. according to the federation of small businesses, as many as a quarter of a million could close this year. so how are small businesses surviving at the moment? many are seeing this as a learning opportunity, a chance to slim down to future proof the firm. and as i found out talking to some of them, often it's down to the determination of the characters behind them. oh, there you are. there you are. look at him, with his mask on. oh, she's going again. pick a spot and stick with it. wendy has a furniture making business, and a lot of energy. we're dementia friendly due

to the fact there are no handles. right. easy access. you could get a job with the shopping channel. and it's a good job. since covid struck, she's had to overhaul her business. shops have shut, so she's shifted focus to dementia—friendly furniture for care homes. it's just been so hard and so traumatic for the whole world. erm... you know, we had one lockdown, which was fine, because we catered really for the care home. the second one, everybody was in tears. the third one, this one's killed our retailers. the business was launched a0 years ago by wendy's dad and uncle. wendy rescued itjust before covid struck, and is now battling daily to protect its legacy and the local skilled jobs that come with it. we've got fantastic people who have been here for years, absolutely years. they know what they're doing. they're all local. it's not about my pocket.

it's about the company and making sure everybody�*s got a job. for the small businesses fighting for survival, it is the passion of their people getting them through. this lawn tennis club in manchester has been around since 1881. this slice of history in the suburbs was set up to rival wimbledon. then came covid. no gym, no classes, no events. one of the most stressful times, i think, was the redundancies. there had to be three more redundancies. erm, and these were people who'd been with us a long time. and that was hard. it was hard for us. jane will not give up. she has faith in the club because its members have faith in it. if the current lockdown goes on too long, it could have a very serious impact on us. a significant proportion of our members have been great sticking with us, but they're not going to do it forever. you can't expect them

to do it forever. janice's play centre and park need people. so far, she's lost close to £1 million in revenue. bills are being paid by a quarter of a million pound loan. the worst thing is that we've had to let go of good people. it's been hard. we've kind of like cut our coat according to our cloth, and we've lost all the savings that we had, which were going to be to rebuild this part of our attraction, and some other plans that we had in place. so, you know, personally, i've got rid of things and personal assets and things like that. so, you know, we're going to survive. i know we're going to survive, but it's going to take us many, many years to to recover from this. and how do you feel about what comes next? well, i guess it's all on boris, on his next announcement. you know, hopefully he will say to our high street retailers, the doors are open, and obviously we're there to support them and help them on the way.

and so wendy waits, as do thousands of small businesses for what comes next. are we going out for a drink after? we will, when this is over. that is something for me to look forward to. we're always looking to hear from you at home. do you run a business that's in trouble or have you managed to find a way to turn things around? do get in touch. thanks to wendy, jane and janice. their businesses are surviving mainly down to them. they are putting an 18 hour days. good luck to them. i they are putting an 18 hour days. good luck to them.— they are putting an 18 hour days. good luck to them. i love the nature ofthat good luck to them. i love the nature of that woman. _ good luck to them. i love the nature of that woman. time _ good luck to them. i love the nature of that woman. time for _ good luck to them. i love the nature of that woman. time for the - good luck to them. i love the nature of that woman. time for the local i of that woman. time for the local news. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. the family of a man killed during a weekend of violence in the capital have described him as having been "destined for greatness" who wanted to "fly high".

22—year—old lavaun witter died after being stabbed at a property in croydon last friday. police have appealed for information. his was one of 16 stabbings over the weekend. detectives have arrested a second teenager over another killing, of 22—year—old sven badzak in kilburn. campaign groups are urging more action to deal with high levels of pollution across london. most of the capital breaches who guidelines forfine particulate matter called pm2s. the mayor wants more powers to deal with the problem which as well as coming from transport can come from construction sites and shipping. the government says it will consider tougher air quality targets. the british museum has seen a massive rise in interest in its artefacts, in part because of a new film. the discovery of an anglo—saxon burial ship at sutton hoo was one of britain's greatest architectural finds. the artifacts are now housed at the museum, which has reported a 200% rise in vistors to their website from people who want to learn more about the discoveries. we were able to really

give our audience close—up access to those objects that is not possible in our galleries when they are behind glass. so they are really special. and when it comes to objects like the sutton hoo helmet, which is the video i have just done, that has not come off display for a great length of time. i've worked at the museum for over ten years and i've only ever seen off display once before. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube northern line suspended northbound from kennington to camden town via charing cross following overrunning engineering work. and district line: minor delays. snow and ice are still affecting routes in outer london this is the a127 southend arterial heading towards gallows corner and romford, where traffic is slow but moving in barking, there are eastbound delays on the a13 from the beckton roundabout. now the weather with kate kinsella. a very cold start this morning with

temperatures down to —5 last night on the met office has a yellow with a warning in place for ice and for snow. one or two snow showers towards parts of kent first thing this morning, elsewhere, largely to stay largely dry with some sunshine too but may be turning hazy in the afternoon as we have a bit of cloud approaching from the west. temperatures today getting up to around one celsius with many places to stay in sub zero. overnight tonight, largely clear, so temperatures again will drop and the wind is light with a minimum temperature dropping potentially to —4 —5, temperature dropping potentially to “i! —5, some a widespread frost, risk of ice first thing tomorrow morning. as we head into friday, pretty cold and some sunny spells around and into the weekend for saturday you can see the blue area hanging on to the cold air, but sunday we see the milder air nudging the cold air, but sunday we see the milderair nudging in, so temperatures start to feel a little less cold by the end of the weekend. i'm back with the latest

from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on breakfast this morning: we are talking about a pledge by the government to tackle unsafe cladding. campaigners say they need at least £15 billion to solve the problems. as the cold snap continues, we'll speak to some of the people who are living, working and fundraising in extreme temperatures. did i give you permission to speak? no, sir. _ did i give you permission to speak? no, sir. no, — did i give you permission to speak? no, sir, no, sir. you've got 60 seconds— no, sir, no, sir. you've got 60 seconds to— no, sir, no, sir. you've got 60 seconds to get round this course. go. and it's the low budget film that was created a decade ago. we'll hear how "lad: a yorkshire story" has become an unexpected mainstream success. more than 13 million people

in the uk have had theirfirst dose of the covid vaccine — and the prime minister has now appealed for those who haven't taken up their invitation to get the jab to come forward. our gp fari ahmed has been delivering the vaccine and joins us now. nice to catch up with you again. can ijust ask, we are nice to catch up with you again. can i just ask, we are speaking nice to catch up with you again. can ijust ask, we are speaking to the health secretary a little later this morning and it's an important announcement made today in terms of nhs reform and immediately you might think that some might think they do not know what it means but i would give you a moment to almost address the health secretary directly. you, as a gp, what is the thing that would make the most difference to you that could be reformed. starting with a small — you that could be reformed. starting with a small question _ you that could be reformed. starting with a small question this _ you that could be reformed. starting with a small question this morning. | with a small question this morning. i think what would be helpful would

be less bureaucracy, so if we have a problem, we turn around and say this is what is happening, we have a solution and we address it quickly without having to go through layers of bureaucracy and people talking to each other. i think it would be useful if health was separate from politics, so people, when things change and politicians change, it doesn't change the path that the nhs has to follow. it would be nice to have a period of time without changes. the nhs seems to be subject to repeated changes, and some of them might be helpful, but often they are not. them might be helpful, but often they are not-— they are not. that's really interesting. _ they are not. that's really interesting. has - they are not. that's really interesting. has some - they are not. that's really interesting. has some ofl they are not. that's really i interesting. has some of this they are not. that's really - interesting. has some of this got in the way of how we or you have been able to help people during the pandemic?— able to help people during the andemic? ., , , , , ., pandemic? one of the big issues at the moment _ pandemic? one of the big issues at the moment that _ pandemic? one of the big issues at the moment that we _ pandemic? one of the big issues at the moment that we are _ pandemic? one of the big issues at the moment that we are having, i pandemic? one of the big issues at| the moment that we are having, we are vaccinating, and there are lots of people with lots of sites vaccinating people, hospitals are

vaccinating people, hospitals are vaccinating on one of the issues is all of the sites are using different it that doesn't talk to each other. part of the problem we are finding is, i don't know if my patient who needs the vaccine has had the vaccine already, so i am texting them and calling, saying, get your vaccine, and they might have had it but it's not in their medical records and sometimes it can take a week for that to happen. it would be really simple if we had a system where it would speak to each other and you would get your medical records and everybody knew where they were. it's not a big problem, but it taking so hard and so long for it to sort out and it has an impact on safety, efficacy, so those are issues that would be really helpful for nhs bureaucracy to be able to deal with, and we should be able to deal with, and we should be able to deal with, and we should be able to do that.— able to do that. that's very interesting. _ able to do that. that's very interesting. in _ able to do that. that's very interesting. in relation i able to do that. that's very interesting. in relation to l able to do that. that's very i interesting. in relation to those people in those first four categories, those people who have yet to be contacted or responded, maybe to the request to get a

vaccine. how concerned are you about people like that? do you have them on your books? people you are yet to make contact with although they should be already in the system. like a lot of people, we have some people have have not responded and we have people at work you are calling constantly to say, are you here, would you like your vaccine? some of them are hesitant and not sure if they want to have it. certainly as a practice, there were some care home workers who when we first offered it to them they said no and as people have been going into the homes and talking to them, they have seen what is going on, so about last week, eight or nine of them said they had changed their mind and they would like it. that is hopeful. i don't know if that would pan out across other people because people have very individual reasons for being sure whether they want the vaccine or not. i for being sure whether they want the vaccine or not.— vaccine or not. i have 'ust seen our cat vaccine or not. i have 'ust seen your cat has i vaccine or not. i have 'ust seen your cat has walked i vaccine or not. i have just seen your cat has walked into i vaccine or not. i have just seen your cat has walked into the i vaccine or not. i have just seen i your cat has walked into the room behind you.

for the hospital where his pal is being treated for leukaemia. he finished his challenge on christmas day. now, hughie has sent us this special report on how the money is going to be spent. hey, everyone. hughie here. so i'm back in today and hopefully it should be a quick one. this place, the royal manchester children's hospital, is like my second home. i'm having my thumb prick done to check my blood levels. my blood work's back and i've just been to see the doctor and they are all fine, so i'm waiting to go into theatre now. i've been here more than 50 times because i have leukaemia, and that's where i met my best friend, freddie. this is freddie. hiya, mate. hi, mate. you all right? that's why freddie wanted to do something really special for me and the hospital, and it made us a bit famous over christmas. here is a handy recap. go for it. hughie, who is that with you?

this is my sister. i've been told that you have raised nearly £50,000. yeah. it's doing such a greatjob and i couldn't thank him any more. that's absolutely amazing. thank you to everybody that has donated. so today, i've come back to the hospital to carry an in—depth interview, and check out the clipboard people with one of my nurses. i'm going to find out what they think about stuff like covid, kissing, and the megamoney me and freddie have raised. this is emily who was one of the main persons in my treatment. how do you feel about wearing masks, and i bet you're really excited about the day you don't have to wear them. i don't mind wearing one at all. it really doesn't bother me. i had a little personal victory the other week where i made you laugh at me withjust my eyes.

it's been 26 years since everton won the fa cup and few games since then will match the drama we saw at goodison park last night. they beat tottenham 5—4 — thanks to an extra—time winner — to reach the quarter finals. ben croucher watched it all. who needs an underdog or a giant killing to produce an fa cup thriller? forget kg, cautious cop dies, this was chaotically classic. just three minutes gone, on to sanchez. i hope you're keeping score, just past the everton equaliser. score, just past the everton equaliser-— score, just past the everton i equaliser._ still score, just past the everton - equaliser._ still they equaliser. calvert-lewin! still they ke -t equaliser. calvert-lewin! still they kept coming. _ equaliser. calvert-lewin! still they kept coming, rich _ equaliser. calvert-lewin! still they kept coming, rich allison, - equaliser. calvert-lewin! still they kept coming, rich allison, 2-1- equaliser. calvert-lewin! still they kept coming, rich allison, 2-1 and| kept coming, rich allison, 2—1 and sigurdsson added one from the penalty spot and it wasn't even half time before erik lamela found space. he has got it back to 3—2. we time before erik lamela found space. he has got it back to 3-2.— he has got it back to 3-2. we are barely halfway — he has got it back to 3-2. we are barely halfway there. _ he has got it back to 3-2. we are barely halfway there. flicked - he has got it back to 3-2. we are barely halfway there. flicked on | he has got it back to 3-2. we are i barely halfway there. flicked on and flicked in as sanchez poked in the second to make it 3— free only for a second to make it 3— free only for a second to make it 3— free only for a second to make it 4—3. still not done. harry kane of the bench. and done. harry kane of the bench. and tottenham — done. harry kane of the bench. and tottenham are _ done. harry kane of the bench. situc tottenham are level again.

it was tight and tense, right until the end at leicester, when kelchi iheanacho broke brighton's hearts with a 94th minute winner to send leicester through to the last eight. and see if you can spot the handball here. bristol city's alfie mawson was sent off for stopping an almost certain goal against sheffield united. billy sharp scored the resulting penalty in a i—0 win. the quarter final draw takes place on bbc one tonight just before barnsley vs chelsea. celtic manager neil lennon described their 4—0 win at st mirren as outstanding, although they're still 18 points behind leaders rangers. three of the goals, came in the space of four, bonkers second half minutes. ryan christie coming off the bench to get the pick of them. elsewhere, motherwell beat kilmarnock. britain's interest in the women's singles, at the australian action is over. within the last hour heather watson has been knocked out,

despite a battling performance against the 21st seed anett kontaveit. watson took the first set on a tie break, the deciding set, 6—2. it is great having that going on. there were some fans there. a limited number. but it is great to see. you couldn't get a bigger contrast. that is for sure. if you want to escape, look at australia, and looking here, it looks like that. certain parts of the country getting excited by a few flakes of snow, but look at this shot from braemar earlier in the week and some of this footage as well. it recorded 70 centimetres of snow at one point this week but life still goes on and it holds the record along with al sahara for the record lowest temperatures are recorded, and it

has been bitterly cold with all the snow around and it recorded the lowest temperature of britain so far, minus 21.9 degrees. and whether you are waking up, it is freezing out there, even as the outskirts of oxford we've seen temperatures dip down to —7 in the last few hours, so be prepared to put on the layers and if you're having to make an essentialjourney in the car, scrape off the ice. for most, a dry, bright star with light snow flurries across southern areas of england, one or two in northern ireland which will clear and we will see snow showers pushing into the far north—east of scotland and mostly we will stay dry with sunny spells, strengthening breeze, added wind—chill and across parts of ireland and through parts of cornwall, pembrokeshire we could see light snow for later in the day with temperatures just above freezing and it will feel cold in the wind in the west. more clout tonight across western areas and

northern ireland could see snow as we go into tomorrow morning with snow showers returning to the likes of aberdeenshire, angus and five full stop not as cold tonight as last night but temperatures down to -10 last night but temperatures down to —10 in a few spots, particularly through parts of north—west scotland. as we go into tomorrow, snow showers return across those areas hit by snow of late around the grampians but most places dry and bright and after a cloudy start, snow in northern ireland and many western areas sushi sunshine return but it will be cold out there and given the fact there could be wind—chill around ten or —15 in some spots. the cold air holes on and the mild air tries to fight its way back, but not quite winning on saturday. eastern areas, dry and bright but with added wind—chill outbreaks of snow in the west that could cause disruption, particularly across northern ireland and then into parts of western scotland and may be north—west england and noticed temperatures still onlyjust starting to squeeze above freezing but the mild air tries to win over a

bit more going into sunday so instead of snow, may be a bit initially across central areas, there could be rain which could fall onto cold ground with some slippy conditions with freezing rain early on but that will diminish through the day and it will be rain rather than snow across western areas with temperatures on the rise and we will get rid of the harshness of the winter we have through this weekend but that will come with problems into next week with snow melts and rain and there could be flooding but certainly today it is cold out there. it certainly today it is cold out there. . as matt was just telling us, some of the coldest temperatures for a decade have been recorded overnight in scotland. alan berwick is the owner of the altnaharra hotel in the highlands where it dropped below minus 18. hejoins us now. i see you are wrapped up warm and you are indoors.— you are indoors. yes, indoors, but very cold- — you are indoors. yes, indoors, but very cold- very — you are indoors. yes, indoors, but very cold. very cold. _ you are indoors. yes, indoors, but very cold. very cold. give - you are indoors. yes, indoors, but very cold. very cold. give us - you are indoors. yes, indoors, but very cold. very cold. give us a - very cold. very cold. give us a sense of— very cold. very cold. give us a sense of how _ very cold. very cold. give us a sense of how cold _ very cold. very cold. give us a sense of how cold it _ very cold. very cold. give us a sense of how cold it was - very cold. very cold. give us a | sense of how cold it was there, very cold. very cold. give us a - sense of how cold it was there, and did you get out much? what did it feel like? ., u, did you get out much? what did it feel like? ., .. . . , .,

sven badzak in kilburn. campaign groups are urging more action to deal with high levels of pollution across london. most of the capital breaches who guidelines forfine particulate matter called pm2.5s. the mayor wants more powers to deal with the problem, which, as well as coming from transport, can come from construction sites and shipping. the government says it will consider tougher air quality targets. the british museum has seen a massive rise in interest in its artefacts, in part because of a new film. the discovery of an anglo—saxon burial ship at sutton hoo was one of britain's greatest architectural finds. the artefacts are now housed at the museum, which has reported a 200% rise in visitors to their website, from people who want to learn more about the discoveries. we were able to really give our audience close—up access to those objects that is not possible in our galleries when they are behind glass.

so they are really special. and when it comes to objects like the sutton hoo helmet, which is the video i have just done, that has not come off display for a great length of time. i've worked at the museum for over ten years and i've only ever seen it off display once before. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, the northern line is suspended northbound from kennington to camden town via charing cross following overrunning engineering work. it has changed. it is running a good service. snow and ice are still affecting routes in outer london. this is the a127 southend arterial heading towards gallows corner and romford, where traffic is slow but moving. in barking, there are eastbound delays on the a13 from the beckton roundabout. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very cold start this morning, with temperatures down to —5 last night. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for ice and for snow. one or two snow showers towards parts of kent first thing this morning.

elsewhere, largely dry with some sunshine too, but maybe turning hazy in the afternoon as we have a bit of cloud approaching from the west. temperatures today getting up to around one celsius, with many places to stay in sub—zero. overnight tonight, largely clear, so temperatures again will drop and the wind is light with a minimum temperature dropping potentially to —a, —5. a widespread frost, the risk of ice first thing tomorrow morning. as we head into friday, pretty cold and some sunny spells around. and into the weekend, for saturday you can see the blue area hanging on to the cold air. but sunday we see the milder air nudging in, so temperatures start to feel a little less cold by the end of the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: major health reforms are unveiled as the government spells out its plans for the nhs, but there's concern over how it can be done in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. confusion over whether or not you'll be able to enjoy a summer getaway — the health secretary insists he still plans to go to cornwall. parts of the uk have seen the coldest night in more than a decade, as the big freeze continues.

indeed. temperatures have dropped as low as —22 degrees in the last few hours. how cold is it where you are waking up? all the details later. dramatic new footage of the attack on capitol hill, as democrats present their case in donald trump's second impeachment trial. good morning. a nine—goal thriller, in the fa cup, as everton beat spurs 5—4 in extra time, to book their place in the quarterfinals. good morning. it's thursday, 11th february. our top story. the nhs in england is facing a major overhaul as the government sets out how it plans to shake up the health and social care system. the changes would see hospitals, gp services and social care providers working together more, while the role of the private sector would be reduced. here's our health correspondent, nick triggle.

the reforms brought in by david cameron's government were deeply controversial. they were meant to usher in an era of competition and innovation. but a white paper, to be published later, will begin the process of unpicking them. out will go requirements on tendering contracts, and instead councils and nhs services will be told to pool resources and decision making. ministers believe it will help meet the challenges of the ageing population and rise in numbers with chronic conditions. those working in the health service said many of the rules were time consuming, frustrating and stressful. there is a bit of a risk. we've had a lot of experience, unfortunately, of restructuring in the nhs. and while everyone says, we hope it won't cause a lot of disruption, it is a bit of a risk here that we have a lot of people distracted from the job of planning services for the future, planning the recovery from covid, or indeed, actually we're still in covid, perhaps even being distracted from that.

nhs and council leaders say changes are needed, although the local government association warned social care was still short of funding. and labour questioned the timing, saying the pandemic was stretching services to their limits. nick triggle, bbc news. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. morning to you. i suppose you could condense this to two real questions. what will be different and why now? yeah, two very good questions which will be _ yeah, two very good questions which will be answered at length in this quite _ will be answered at length in this quite long document that we will get in a few— quite long document that we will get in a few hours. i think the idea behind — in a few hours. i think the idea behind this_ in a few hours. i think the idea behind this is that there could be bil behind this is that there could be big changes to the organisations that make up the nhs and work with it, that make up the nhs and work with it. like _ that make up the nhs and work with it, like providers of care and local councils — it, like providers of care and local councils. but actually, members of the public. — councils. but actually, members of the public, patients, all of us, will only—

jonathan ashworth. the health secretary, matt hancock, willjoin us at half past seven. six minutes past seven. the government has been accused of mixed messages over whether or not people in the uk will be able to get away for a summer holiday. the transport secretary has warned no—one should be booking trips, at home or abroad. but last night, the health secretary told some mps that he'd already booked his family's getaway — and that he's optimistic about the summer. charlotte wright reports. in the depths of a winter lockdown, many of us are hankering for moments like these, optimistic as the vaccination roll—out continues. but sunnier climes might be even further than we'd hoped. the latest message from one government minister, summer holidays are on hold, at home or away. please don't go ahead and book holidays for something which, at this stage, is illegal to actually go and do, whether it's here or abroad. and then, you know, further down the line, i simply don't know the answer to the question of where we'll

be up to this summer. but despite that warning, some of his colleagues have already made plans. i'm going to cornwall, and i've said before, i think we're going to have a great british summer. and it's a claim the health secretary stood by. just hours after the transport secretary told us not to book trips, matt hancock repeated his plans to head to the south—west during a video call with backbench mps. this at around the same time, though, speaking to the nation, the prime minister was sounding less certain. as everybody knows, it's currently illegal to go on holiday. that's the state of play at the moment. we're looking at the data every day. i'm afraid it is just too early for people to be certain about what we'll be able to do this summer. there are concerns in the travel industry about the financial impact of losing another summer. frustration, perhaps, too, among those eager for something to look forward to. but with the pandemic still raging,

there are, as yet, no guarantees from the government. charlotte wright, bbc news. democrat prosecutors in donald trump's impeachment trial have been showing new footage of the attack on capitol hill. they've accused mr trump of acting as "inciter—in—chief" in the run up to the violence. the former president's lawyers deny the claims. our washington correspondent barbara plett—usher reports. democrats used chilling new security video to reconstruct what happened during the riot. forcing senators to relive that traumatic day. we've lost the line! this was a key part of a sweeping narrative against the former president, laid out by the prosecution. donald trump surrendered his role as commander—in—chief and became the inciter—in—chief of a dangerous insurrection. and to use a favourite term

that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal. democrats argue that mr trump spent months constructing a big lie to make his supporters believe the election was stolen. and he used fighting words when he knew some of them were armed and would fight. donald trump, over many months, cultivated violence. praised it. and then, when he saw the violence his supporters were capable of, he channelled it to his big, wild, historic event. the videos showed how closely the mob got to officials. the former vice president, mike pence, being rushed to safety. senator mitt romney turning around in his tracks. the compelling case, told with emotional appeal, was one that touched hearts in the senate, although not necessarily minds. many republican senators seemed unwilling to be convinced that donald trump is guilty.

but the democrats are also aiming at a broader audience watching from home, hoping to hold mr trump to account in the court of public appeal. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, washington. the family of captain sir tom moore say they have been "overwhelmed" by the public�*s support since his death. the 100—year—old died at bedford hospital earlier this month, two days after being admitted with breathing problems. in a statement on twitter, his daughter hannah ingram—moore "he held a place in so many people's hearts and because of that we understand that we aren't grieving alone." daytime now is 11 past seven. matt is going to confirm that it is cold out there. it certainly is. the coldest it has been for more than ten years. good morning. we have seen temperatures dip down to —22 at one stage in braemar. this is where we are standing at the moment. coldest in

northern scotland. uk wide temperatures are sub zero. let's see how cold things are. —13 on the outskirts of perth. sorry, —18. —18 on the outskirts of edinburgh. northern ireland is a bit cloudy, not as chilly. —7 through parts of norfolk. temperatures a few degrees below freezing in the south. more clout here through the night. some snow flurries. cloud increases towards the south—west and wales through the day. less sunshine, sleet and snow edging in towards cornwall, maybe pembrokeshire later. a few more snow showers in the far north—east of scotland. mostly a dry day. we have a torrent of the snowmaking machine in eastern scotland and england. —— we have turned off. temperatures may get above freezing. the wind is not as strong. snow showers returned to

campaign groups are urging more action to deal with high levels of pollution across london. most of the capital breaches who guidelines forfine particulate matter called pm2.5s. the mayor wants more powers to deal with the problem which as well as coming from transport can come from construction sites and shipping. the government says it will consider tougher air quality targets. those who suffer from lung conditions say action needs to be taken urgently. it kills people, and unless it is addressed by making it a major health issue, then it's just going to carry on. the british museum has seen a massive rise in interest in its artefacts, in part because of a new film. the discovery of an anglo—saxon burial ship at sutton hoo was one of britain's greatest architectural finds. the artifacts are now housed at the museum, which has reported a 200% rise in vistors to their website from people who want to learn more about the discoveries.

let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, district and central line has minor delays. severe delays on tfl rail between paddington and heathrow following a signal problem. on the roads, traffic on the a12 is looking busy through romford, although snow and ice are now clear of the main carriagway. in barking, there are eastbound delays on the a13 from the beckton roundabout. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very cold start this morning, with temperatures down to —5 last night. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for ice and for snow. one or two snow showers towards parts of kent first thing this morning. elsewhere, largely dry with some sunshine too, but maybe turning hazy in the afternoon as we have a bit

of cloud approaching from the west. temperatures today getting up to around one celsius, with many places to stay in sub—zero. overnight tonight, largely clear, so temperatures again will drop and the wind is light with a minimum temperature dropping potentially to —1i, —5. a widespread frost, the risk of ice first thing tomorrow morning. as we head into friday, pretty cold and some sunny spells around. and into the weekend, for saturday you can see the blue area hanging on to the cold air. but sunday we see the milder air nudging in, so temperatures start to feel a little less cold by the end of the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we are waiting to talk to the health

secretary, matt hancock, but mike has lots of sport for us. on a cold winter night, a great fa cup tie to warm the night, unless you were a spurs fan as you might be feeling a bit cold. let's start with an astonishing fa cup tie, at goodison park, that delivered nine goals and an eventual quarter final place for everton who beat tottenham 5—4 after extra time. the game was eventually won by everton's brazilian bernard, who scored to send the home side through to the last eight for the first time in five seasons, and even in defeat spurs boss, conceded it was amazing to watch...for a neutral. how can this still be happening in 2021? the question asked by swansea's yan dhanda after the racist abuse aimed him on social media, after his side's fa cup tie last night. south wales police are investigating and both swansea and manchester city quickly condemned the racist abuse.

dhanda added on his twitter post last night, "i'm so proud of who i am and representing asians. more has to be done." as for the match, manchester city's winning streak is now record breaking — 15 in all competitions — the most ever by a top division side — as they went through 3—1. kyle walker's opener was followed up by goals from raheem sterling and gabrieljesus. leicester and sheffield united also won. after losing in the league for the first time in two years at the weekend, chelsea women responded by beating arsenal 3—0 and they extended their lead at the top of the wsl. danish forward pernille harder got two of the goals at kings meadow to take chelsea three points clear at the top of the table. britain's interest in the women's singles at the australian open is over. heather watson has been knocked out this morning, despite taking the first set on a tie break against the 21st seed anett kontaveit. watson though faded

as the match went on and lost the deciding set, 6—2. cameron norrie is on court right now, early on, the first couple of games against the russian qualifier. we will keep an eye on that. it is been surprising with the knockouts on the injuries. heather watson is actually in good company because the defending champion has been knocked out as well today. and an injury for johanna konta. mike, see you later. the nhs in england is set to undergo a major overhaul, as part of government plans to reform the health service. the changes include encouraging hospitals, gp surgeries and social care providers to work more closely together — and limiting the role of private companies in the nhs. the health secretary, matt hancock, joins us now. good morning to you. good morning. i

wonder if you — good morning to you. good morning. i wonder if you could _ good morning to you. good morning. i wonder if you could help _ good morning to you. good morning. i wonder if you could help people - good morning to you. good morning. i wonder if you could help people join i wonder if you could help peoplejoin the dots, because people think, we are in the middle of a pandemic and there is a health crisis going on and maybe when they hear the words nhs reform, their eyes slightly glazed over. it's been widely welcomed, i know that. but some people might ask some straight questions, like does it mean i see my gp quicker? does it mean i will get my operation quicker, notwithstanding the covid situation? what are the practical implications of what you are talking about? thank ou ve of what you are talking about? thank you very much- _ of what you are talking about? thank you very much. the _ of what you are talking about? thank you very much. the practical- you very much. the practical implication is that these changes will allow the nhs to work more closely together with the different parts of the nhs, as you mention, and, crucially, with social care and public health colleagues. at the moment, there are rules set out in law that stops some of that working together and we have seen that that has been a problem and the nhs have

done an amazing job during the crisis but that has confirmed the need to remove this bureaucracy, and that will make it easier for the nhs on the ground to deliver for you. i think that is one of the reasons why the reforms have been widely welcomed. we formally published the white paper today, but we have been working with the nhs and local government colleagues on them for a long time in order to get it right. i regard myjob as health secretary is making it as easy as possible for people working so hard on the front line to be able to deliver services and look after patients and that is at the heart of these reforms. notwithstanding the support that the idea has had, a lot of people will be asking again very basic questions, which is, as you very well know, you have your own civil servants, you have nhs administrators and the medical staff themselves who are so busy at the

moment, to the point that they are so stretched, so why do this now, and will then necessarily be a number of people working on this when, frankly, they should be dealing with the immediate situation?— dealing with the immediate situation? ., �* ., ., ., situation? you've got to do both. we've got — situation? you've got to do both. we've got to _ situation? you've got to do both. we've got to make _ situation? you've got to do both. we've got to make it _ situation? you've got to do both. we've got to make it easier - situation? you've got to do both. we've got to make it easier for i situation? you've got to do both. i we've got to make it easier for the nhs to work together well and work with social care at the same time, because when we come out of this pandemic, and we will, we need to build a better, stronger nhs, we need to build back better in the prime minister's phrase, and this legal change, the bill that will come to parliament is all part of that, so i think all of us can do something to help the nhs. we can stay at home and help in the immediate term, and of course, at policy level, we are working every

day to support the nhs through covid. there are still over 26,000 people in hospital with covid, more than at the april peak, so there is that immediate work, but absolutely we should be putting in place now the building blocks for a stronger, more integrated, more local nhs when we come out of this. i think it's absolutely right. now is the exact right time to be doing this, so we can support the nhs as much as possible as we come through this. so in a way, back to my original question, are you sufficiently confident that in what you are doing now you are able to say it is clouded by the pandemic currently, of course, but that people will get their operations quicker as a result over the long term of what you are doing now?— over the long term of what you are doin now? , ., ., ., ., doing now? yes, and at the heart of these reforms _ doing now? yes, and at the heart of these reforms is _ doing now? yes, and at the heart of these reforms is the _ doing now? yes, and at the heart of these reforms is the idea _ doing now? yes, and at the heart of these reforms is the idea that - doing now? yes, and at the heart of these reforms is the idea that you i these reforms is the idea that you take the budget for the nhs in a local area and you get an integrated

team that has social care, the nhs, the gps and hospitals and they commission and do the work to spend that money as effectively as possible to support the health of the local population and there's quite a lot of bureaucratic rules set by parliament, it's naturally centralised and set in law and that effectively makes decisions for the systems, so it is held locally, spent locally, and there's a huge amount of preventative work that can be done to reduce the future burdens on the nhs by helping people to stay healthy in the first place, which is currently restricted and it's harder to do with those bureaucratic rules. that population health, as it's called in the jargon, is at the core

of the proposals to get the decisions about the local nhs taken at a more local level with a team thatis at a more local level with a team that is integrated across the different parts of the health and care system. that is the thought behind it, and it's all about delivering better services locally. let's talk about the immediate future. much praise for the vaccine roll—out and it is ongoing. 13 million is the latest figure. can we talk about your concerns about those people you have yet to reach? the ones who should have been contacted and you would wish to have had their injection in four days' time, but will not have done, for whatever reason, that they have not been reached or not brought themselves forward. do you have numbers attached to that at this point? those first four categories? irate attached to that at this point? those first four categories? we are confident of — those first four categories? we are confident of reaching _ those first four categories? we are confident of reaching the _ those first four categories? we are confident of reaching the target - those first four categories? we are confident of reaching the target of| confident of reaching the target of offering a test to everyone in those first four priority groups by

monday, and that is a critical goal, but it isn'tjust about making the offer, it's also about driving uptake. uptake of this jab has been far, far higher than i expected, and between 75 up to 79, people in their late 705, uptake has been 96%. it's absolutely incredible. however, every extra percent that we get reduces the number of people who are not protected, obviously, and that is crucial to how effective the overall roll—out is. we want to reach those care homes who have all had access, except the ones that have had an outbreak, so we want to go to those that have had an outbreak where we couldn't clinically go yet, and we want to make sure that all health and social care staff come forward and they

should all approach their employer, if you haven't yet been jabbed and you want to jab. and for all over 705, if you've not received an invitation from the nhs now, you should be going to the nhs, approach the nhs and ask for a jab because we think we have made the offer to all over 705 and anybody, for whatever logical all this season, maybe you've moved house and we don't know about the new address, we want you to approach us to get the job —— the jab. this is especially true in terms of reassuring people who might be hesitant about getting the jab for whatever reason. i think confidence can be taken from the fact that such a big proportion of the over 705 have already had the jab and it is safe, very safe, that it is effective, very effective, so

i would encourage anybody in one of the groups that has been invited, anybody over 70 who has not yet had the jab to come and all health and social care staff to contact their employer if they haven't had the jab. employer if they haven't had the 'ab. �* . . employer if they haven't had the 'ab. �* , ., ., ., employer if they haven't had the 'ab. �*, ., ., ., ., ,, ., jab. there's a lot of talk about the relaxation point _ jab. there's a lot of talk about the relaxation point and _ jab. there's a lot of talk about the relaxation point and i _ jab. there's a lot of talk about the relaxation point and i know- jab. there's a lot of talk about the relaxation point and i know we - jab. there's a lot of talk about the j relaxation point and i know we are not there yet, of course, but the percentage of people who have been vaccinated becomes very relevant at certain points. may be the top four categories, all the top nine, all over 50, so have you built into your calculations a percentage number, for example, who if they have not had their vaccine, you are still prepared to carry on with rolling out changes in the way we are living. how have you calculated that? because inevitably there will be a percentage of people who for whatever reason do not get vaccinated.—

whatever reason do not get vaccinated. , ., , vaccinated. yes, actually, the assumption — vaccinated. yes, actually, the assumption we _ vaccinated. yes, actually, the assumption we had _ vaccinated. yes, actually, the assumption we had going - vaccinated. yes, actually, the assumption we had going into vaccinated. yes, actually, the - assumption we had going into the vaccine programme was that 75% of people would take the jab and we are now well over 90%, so that has gone far better than my most optimistic projections and i'm an optimistic kind of guy so that has gone really very well, and that makes it easier, safely for us together to come out of this because if you think about it the difference between 80% of people taking this up and 90% is that you actually half, if you think about it, from 20 down to ten, the proportion of people who are unprotected by the jab, so these extra few percentages really, really matter, because they reduce the number of people who are not protected. the other piece of good news is that early evidence, and it

is early evidence, shows that the transmission of the virus is reduced by around two thirds if you have had the jab, so that means that taking the jab, so that means that taking the job not only protects you, it protects those around you as well, so all of this means that everybody offered should take the jab, and you would expect me to say that, but thatis would expect me to say that, but that is because it will help all of us to be able to come out of these things safely. figs us to be able to come out of these things safely-— things safely. as you know, better than anyone. _ things safely. as you know, better than anyone, messaging - things safely. as you know, better than anyone, messaging is - things safely. as you know, better than anyone, messaging is so - than anyone, messaging is so important in relation to so many things and i wondered, because we are speaking to you now, you can tell us straight, there are questions around holidays and a lot of people scratching their heads about what is the right thing to do. it is claimed that you have said you booked a holiday in cornwall. can you clarify what the situation is? i

know that people are yearning for certainty over whether they can have a summer holiday, but pandemics are difficult times and there is a lot of uncertainty, so i'm afraid people will have to be patient before we can get that certainty. we are doing everything we possibly can to make sure that people can have a holiday this summer and, of course, the vaccine roll—out is absolutely central to that, to make sure we protect people as much as possible. so it's really good news that the vaccine roll—out has been going so fast and that we have such a high uptake, and we will set out more in more detail when we can, but at the moment, unfortunately, there is that uncertainty still. just moment, unfortunately, there is that uncertainty still.— uncertainty still. just trying to be clear about _ uncertainty still. just trying to be clear about you. _ uncertainty still. just trying to be clear about you. have _ uncertainty still. just trying to be clear about you. have you - uncertainty still. just trying to be | clear about you. have you booked uncertainty still. just trying to be i clear about you. have you booked a holiday to cornwall in the summer? yes, i booked it months ago. that is

if the vaccine roll—out continues to go well, as it so far has gone, incredibly well, and we will bring more certainty when we can but i think it is better for us to be clear about what we do know... mr hancock, can ijust be absolutely clear, because i think it is important. someone is listening to you this morning and they will say, i listen to the health secretary this morning and he said go ahead and book, or they will say i listened to the health secretary and he said don't book your holiday. which of those two is it? it is neither. people _ which of those two is it? it 3 neither. people understand that. it might be more difficult for headline writers but people are smarter than all that. we writers but people are smarter than all that. ~ . all that. we will leave it there. appreciate _ all that. we will leave it there. appreciate your _ all that. we will leave it there. appreciate your time _ all that. we will leave it there. appreciate your time this - all that. we will leave it there. - appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. let's get a very clear picture of what is going on, and those are impressive. i rememberthis.

impressive. i remember this. stalagmites impressive. i rememberthis. stalagmites and stalactites. stalactites are on the ceiling, and stalagmites might rise up one day to meet the stalactites. yes, i call them icicles. i was really chuffed _ yes, i call them icicles. i was really chuffed with _ yes, i call them icicles. i was really chuffed with myself - yes, i call them icicles. iwas. really chuffed with myself then. yes, i call them icicles. iwas- really chuffed with myself then. she said stalactites come down and stalagmites go up.— said stalactites come down and stalagmites go up. yes, they are stalactites- _ stalagmites go up. yes, they are stalactites. someone _ stalagmites go up. yes, they are stalactites. someone was - stalagmites go up. yes, they are stalactites. someone was a - stalagmites go up. yes, they are i stalactites. someone was a prisoner in their home with this very impressive icicles set, and no wonder it is cold, look at the pictures through the week, this is the highland games pavilion almost covered in snow. they have had a huge amount of snow, and 70 centimetres was laying there at one point. along with alsan o'hara, they hold the record for the lowest

temperature ever recorded in the uk, minus 27.2 degrees and out there this morning, not1 million miles from it, but not quite record—breaking, but minus 22 degrees, and a similar temperature even up the road in the highlands, and across the country it's a very cold start, even to the outskirts of oxford where we have seen temperatures dipped to —7 or minus eight degrees. not quite as cold across the south—east corner because there is a bit more clout and there are one or two snow showers across devon and cornwall in the same in northern ireland, and a few snow flurries possible in the far north—east of scotland but we have cut away the snow showers for many and many have a dry and sunny day with more cloud towards the south and west and it's across cornwall and west and it's across cornwall and pembrokeshire that you might see the return of sleet and snow as we go through the day. not as windy, so not the same wind chill, but a cold day nonetheless. the wind chill returns tonight into tomorrow and the breeze is picking up and we

could see snow in northern ireland and snow showers return across the eastern half of scotland as well, particularly aberdeenshire, angus and fife. temperatures in towns and cities could get to —10 in the highlands so not as cold as we saw last night. tomorrow, snow showers running up the eastern parts of scotland and they return. most will have a dry and bright day. brightening across the west after a cloudy snot with a bit of sleet and snow initially in northern ireland but are marked wind—chill tomorrow even though temperatures are above freezing and it could feel like —10 or —15 on the hills. the cold air is trying to push away this weekend and if you're not enjoying the chill there are signs of change. it will be a gradual process, called for many and as the milder tries to push him through western areas there will be snow, most significant in scotland may be into the isle of man and northern parts of england. the temperature is only a degree or so above freezing for some and add on the wind—chill and it will feel colder but by the time we get to

sunday, the mild air is pushing with rain across western areas which could fall onto cold ground, and freezing rain is possible across parts of scotland and north—west england. keep that in mind and watch the forecast as you go into the weekend just in case, but note that temperatures as we are clear of frost across the country and double figures could return in the west but the downside is we could see rain as the downside is we could see rain as the temperatures rise and with so much snow around there could be some flooding as it starts to melt, but for the time being, it is still very, very cold. wrap up. we were talking to a hotelier who was up there. it was —18 where he was up there. it was —18 where he was and he was very pragmatic, to be honest saying, it's tricky, hard to get to the place, very cold but it looks beautiful. and we can see a few of the images now. you know what, there are upsides to extreme

it's time now for the latest in our lockdown life series in which we enlist some expert help to keep ourselves entertained while we're stuck at home. today, we're getting some tips from paralympic gold medallist lauren rowles. let's remind ourselves of some of her achievements. music continues

there is lauren now, and first thing i am thinking is, rowers are a tough breed, you are outdoors already. yes, i thought i would bring you outside into my natural environment, being an outdoor athlete, this is where we thrive. i was listening to the weather before i came on and i can tell you it feels like that, i've been out here every morning in the snow and ice, out there rowing, so i definitely feel it, but we get a thick skin here and we get through it. we a thick skin here and we get through it. ~ , .., ., ., it. we will put the caveat out there, because _ it. we will put the caveat out there, because it _ it. we will put the caveat out there, because it is - it. we will put the caveat out there, because it is very - it. we will put the caveat out there, because it is very cold it. we will put the caveat out - there, because it is very cold and in henley it's not as cold as parts of scotland where it is —18, and if you are going out and you are going to exercise, clothing is really important. you have to make your core warm before you go out. how would you manage that? i am core warm before you go out. how would you manage that?— core warm before you go out. how would you manage that? i am a girl of la ers, would you manage that? i am a girl of layers. as _ would you manage that? i am a girl of layers, as rowers _ would you manage that? i am a girl of layers, as rowers usually - would you manage that? i am a girl of layers, as rowers usually are - would you manage that? i am a girl of layers, as rowers usually are and i have two layers on here and that's not a lot to me. i would normally go

out in a thermal with a thin layer of vic's over me and we would have all in ones and i would have almost two separate pairs of leggings whenever i go out, so it's really important and as you warm up and you do some hard exercises or your heart is beating a bit faster, the bpm is “p is beating a bit faster, the bpm is up and you can take the layers off as you go because you don't want to be overheated, but when you go out it's incredibly important that your heart and your core is really warm. there is the safety briefing done. you are outside, layered up and although you are obviously a rower, thatis although you are obviously a rower, that is very active, but one of the things you are really keen to talk about his being mindful, breathing, relaxing, and sometimes we just need a moment to focus on ourselves and you will show us how we can do that in the next minute and a half. i will bring you down here with me so you can see me better and i wanted

to show you some simple exercises that you can go through as a lot of us will be that you can go through as a lot of us will he sat at desks, working from home and it will lead to poor posture, sore back and i spend a lot of time seated myself being in a wheelchair and mobility is a massive part of myjob, so ijust wanted to run through a few simple stretches you can do, five minutes, sat at your desk, little and often is the key and i will run through them now. i will start with the upper posture, which is the most important thing sat down at a desk or anywhere in the most simple thing to fix your posture is to put your arms in the air. you guys can do this in the studio yourselves, all of this will be seated, so arms in the air and that will put our posture in the right place. we don't need to engage our core to sit up nice and straight, reach our arms into the air like so and take a few deep breaths, expand the chest out, expand your back out and lean into

the stretch. once we have our posture sorted, sat nice and straight and we want to retain that through the exercises and next we will look at stretching out your neck which is really important as most of us will be staring at screens all day long or hunched over desks and stretching out your neck is important, so we will start with a few little neck rolls, so one way first, and you want to consider when you are doing this, be mindful that you are doing this, be mindful that you don't go too far or overstretch, but just you don't go too far or overstretch, butjust simple roles and then you can turn the other way and start there. and whilst you are doing all of this, breezed through, take deep breaths, listen to your body as you are doing it. next is a simple stretch with the neck, stretching out this area hear of your neck and we are going to take a hand and i'm taking my right hand and will put it over the left side of my head and

put my arm down the side a light stretch and pull my head towards the other side of my shoulder here and just doing these simple stretches you can feel the pull into your traps here and if you want to get even more of a stretch you can point your fingers towards the ground and think about pushing your hand towards the ground and pulling your neck. and then i will swap sides and do it there. take a few deep breaths. lovely. once we have done that and we have the neck stretched out, the posture is good, so we will think about rotational movements and getting the back stretch out. what i like to do because i don't have rotation on my own, i like to put my hand over the opposite side of my leg while i am seated and you can do that if you have the arms on your desk chair that you are sat on, but me i'm going to put my arm over my leg and push my arm away from me and i am going to turn like that, opening the chest out all through

the top and rotating the back, and you might get a few clicks out of it if you have a tight back, and then the opposite side. breathe into it to get the optimal range. and once we have done that, the final exercise for you is a great one for pain relief and a really nice stretch for your hips, because when you are sat down they will get tight and you put one leg over the other leg and i will place the other hand on the top of my knee and pushed into it and at the same time, you want to lean your body weight forward and that will stretch out your back and your glutes and if you have a bit of back pain it would relieve that.— relieve that. can i 'ust say, i thinkthis h relieve that. can i 'ust say, i think this is _ relieve that. can i 'ust say, i think this is one _ relieve that. can ijust say, i think this is one of - relieve that. can ijust say, i think this is one of the - relieve that. can ijust say, i think this is one of the best | relieve that. can ijust say, i- think this is one of the best little workouts we have seen out of everything we have done. i think it is excellent. is itjust me, i am constantly worried that a horse is going to jump over their and constantly worried that a horse is going tojump over their and i am worried she will suddenly get

while the role of the private sector would be reduced. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. good morning. we've just been speaking to the health secretary. and amongst the big questions people are asking is, what difference would all this make and why now? i what difference would all this make and why now?— and why now? i think it would be a fairl bi and why now? i think it would be a fairly big change — and why now? i think it would be a fairly big change to _ and why now? i think it would be a fairly big change to the _ fairly big change to the organisations that deliver health care _ organisations that deliver health care. they are going to be working together— care. they are going to be working together a — care. they are going to be working together a lot more locally between gps, health care providers, hospitals _ gps, health care providers, hospitals and local authorities. i think— hospitals and local authorities. i think also— hospitals and local authorities. i think also matt hancock, the health secretary. _ think also matt hancock, the health secretary, sitting in his office in whitehall— secretary, sitting in his office in whitehall will have a little bit more — whitehall will have a little bit more control of the health service in england — more control of the health service in england than previous health secretaries have had for the last few years — secretaries have had for the last few years. but there are some big questions — few years. but there are some big questions. what about social care? there _ questions. what about social care? there is— questions. what about social care? there is some stuff about social care _ there is some stuff about social care in — there is some stuff about social care in this _ there is some stuff about social care in this plan. it will be unveiled _ care in this plan. it will be unveiled today. but the government bil unveiled today. but the government big ambition to have a big forum on

we handle this _ happening. yes, it is all about how we handle this uncertainty, - happening. yes, it is all about how we handle this uncertainty, which i we handle this uncertainty, which even _ we handle this uncertainty, which even the — we handle this uncertainty, which even the government is not quite sure what— even the government is not quite sure what is going to happen. the prime _ sure what is going to happen. the prime minister didn't want to get into this — prime minister didn't want to get into this yesterday. he said, wait until— into this yesterday. he said, wait until the — into this yesterday. he said, wait until the 22nd of february, when the government will deliver its road map for lifting _ government will deliver its road map for lifting the lockdown in england. that will— for lifting the lockdown in england. that will give us a better idea of how we — that will give us a better idea of how we can perhaps solve that uncertainty. yesterday you had the transport — uncertainty. yesterday you had the transport secretary, grant shapps, saying _ transport secretary, grant shapps, saying people should not book holidays — saying people should not book holidays abroad or at home. but then it emerged _ holidays abroad or at home. but then it emerged that matt hancock had already— it emerged that matt hancock had already booked a holiday to cornwall for the _ already booked a holiday to cornwall for the summer. already booked a holiday to cornwall forthe summer. he had already booked a holiday to cornwall for the summer. he had done that a couple _ for the summer. he had done that a couple of— for the summer. he had done that a couple of months ago. the big question— couple of months ago. the big question today is, should we be more grant _ question today is, should we be more grant schapps or more matt hancock? we will _ grant schapps or more matt hancock? we will bring more certainty when we can. but i think it is betterfor us to be clear about what we do know and what society don't yet know. mr hancock, can i be absolutely clear. someone is listening to you this morning and they are going to say,

well, i listened to the health secretary this morning and he said, go ahead and book, or they will say, i listened to the health secretary and he said, don't book your holiday. which of those two is it? it is neither. people understand that. it may be more difficult for headline writers but the people are smarter than all that. what i'd like to do right now is zoom — what i'd like to do right now is zoom right now and look at the really _ zoom right now and look at the really big — zoom right now and look at the really big picture. i think we are getting — really big picture. i think we are getting a — really big picture. i think we are getting a big disconnect between the political— getting a big disconnect between the political timetable and the scientific timetable. i will explain why _ scientific timetable. i will explain why here — scientific timetable. i will explain why. here in westminster we are having _ why. here in westminster we are having this — why. here in westminster we are having this row about whether we think— having this row about whether we think we — having this row about whether we think we should wait 11 days or not to decide — think we should wait 11 days or not to decide whether to book a summer holiday _ to decide whether to book a summer holiday. but then you talk to people like sharon peacock, who is running the genetic— like sharon peacock, who is running the genetic sequencing programme for coronavirus. _ the genetic sequencing programme for coronavirus, the person who looks at b6 gnomes— coronavirus, the person who looks at b6 gnomes and works out if there are bg gnomes and works out if there are any variations we should be worried about. _ any variations we should be worried about. she — any variations we should be worried about, she reckons she will be doing that for— about, she reckons she will be doing that for the — about, she reckons she will be doing that for the next ten years. we are agonising — that for the next ten years. we are agonising about 11 days, scientists are agonising about more like 11 years _ are agonising about more like 11

years. that is turning into a bit of an issue — an issue. adam, thank you. a leading public health expert has warned that the coronavirus variant first detected in kent is likely to "sweep the world". the head of the uk's genetic surveillance programme, professor sharon peacock, also says the vaccines approved for use in the uk appeared to work well against the existing strains of the virus. the kent variant has already been found in more than 50 countries, after first being detected in south—east england in september last year. there have been calls for an extension of the stamp duty holiday in next month's budget as buyers and sellers face delays in completing deals. the popularity of the concession, combined with covid restrictions, have slowed the process of property sales, leading to fears that many may not be completed before the stamp duty holiday ends in march. democrat prosecutors in donald trump's impeachment trial have been showing new footage of the attack on capitol hill. democrats have been outlining

their case in the us senate, arguing that mr trump he had acted as "inciter—in—chief" on the day and beforehand. the former president's lawyers deny the claims. the family of captain sir tom moore say they have been "overwhelmed" by the public�*s support since his death. the 100—year—old died at bedford hospital earlier this month, two days after being admitted with breathing problems. in a statement on twitter, his daughter hannah ingram—moore said, "he held a place in so many people's hearts, and because of that, we understand that we aren't grieving alone." the time that is eight minutes past eight. very cold all over the uk. obviously some places a lot more colder than others. you have put —22 under. that has gone up. yes, good morning. it is getting

for buildings under that height, there will be a loan scheme where payments for leaseholders will be capped at £50 a month. to make sure the industry contributes, there will also be a new levy on developers of future high—rises to cover the cost of grants. but what do people who are living in these buildings think? brea kfast�*s tim muffett has been finding out. i cry for nothing sometimes, because i'm so desperate for something to happen, to save us. adeline is 76. the anxiety caused by the cladding surrounding herflat is proving hard to bear. it's really affecting me, mentally, my health. now my savings are gone. i don't know what to do. i can't find work. woolwich in south london,

the royal artillery quays development, where costs are rising and expectations are lowering. how tough has this been for you? it's been very tough. i have nightmares sometimes. sometimes in the middle of the night, you know, the alarm goes off. you know, ijust wonder, where's the fire? my service charge has gone up by about £200 last year alone — that's £200 a month. so right now, i'm stuck in a property which i can't sell, no matter how hard i try, and i knock off the asking price, no one wants to buy it. no one wants to invest in property that's a fire risk. the government has pledged a further £3.5 billion to help with cladding removal and repairs, on top of 1.6 billion already promised. what did you make of the government's announcement? i mean, it's a step in the right direction, definitely. and, erm, you know, it's some relief for leaseholders like myself,

who are in buildings about 18 metres. but, you know, there are other non—cladding—related issues that could costjust as much as, you know, the extraordinary amounts that we were expecting to pay for cladding, that hasn't been addressed. there's, again, the insurance premium costs. eh, and ijust think that more needs to be done. the management company here, rendall & rittner, says it understands how worrying and stressful this is for residents. it says it's making every effort to mitigate increases in service charges. housing developer barrett says the flats met all building regulations when they were built in 2003. it says it's working hard to find a solution. joe lives in a flat less than 18 metres high. the government says he would be able to access loans to replace unsafe cladding. repayments, it says, won't ever exceed £50 a month. i feel betrayed, to be honest with you. i think, you know, if we have

to have the same certification as buildings above 18 metres, and we still are required to have the ews1 form, then why are we hit by the same fire safety risks, you know, costs that the buildings higher than us are having to take on? it's an arbitrary... ..it�*s an arbitrary height that they've just clung on to. and i think if we all... ..if all of these buildings need to be made safe, then the height of the building shouldn't be an issue. but it's still unclear how the loan scheme will work, and how long residents could be repaying them for. in other towns and cities, uncertainty about cladding and fire regulations has grown. in birmingham, vicky is facing mounting costs and anxiety. i wake up worrying about it. i go to sleep worrying about it. you know, i worry for the safety of my family.

we bought our homes in good faith, erm, and now we're being being asked to foot the bill to put them right. government data released in december, showed the enormity of the task ahead. although huge sums have already been spent on cladding removal and repairs in england, it's only been completed on around 30% of private sector buildings, and just over half of social housing blocks. all the way along the top as well. cladding was removed from deepa and gregory's block in south london in 2019, but they're now unable to get the external walls safety form they need to sell their flat. there are potential quality issues with our cladding now, with the cladding that was remediated. we wanted to sell up last year and move on, because we have three children, we're in a two—bed flat and can't have the children growing up, you know, in one bedroom together. you wake up in the morning and it's like, is there going to be a bill for, you know, 20, 30, £40,000? and the latest announcement really

hasn't kind of put that to rest yet. the peabody housing association says that delays in getting the ews form don't mean that these flats are unsafe. the government says its latest funding measures will support leaseholders, restore confidence and ensure a situation like this never arises again. for many, though, there's no end to the uncertainty in sight. tim muffett, bbc news. we can speak now to rebecca fairclough from campaign group manchester cladiators, which represents the owners of flats in 70 blocks in the greater manchester area. rebecca, thank you very much for joining us on breakfast. what was your initial reaction to the announcement by the housing secretary?— announcement by the housing secreta ? , ., , secretary? morning. it is really bittersweet- — secretary? morning. it is really bittersweet. we _ secretary? morning. it is really bittersweet. we are _ secretary? morning. it is really bittersweet. we are grateful. secretary? morning. it is really i bittersweet. we are grateful that the government are finally recognising that more money is needed — recognising that more money is needed. we have been calling for the

my blood work's back and i've just been to see the doctor and they are all fine, so i'm waiting to go into theatre now. i've been here more than 50 times because i have leukaemia, and that's where i met my best friend, freddie. this is freddie. hiya, mate. hi, mate. you all right? that's why freddie wanted to do something really special for me and the hospital, and it made us a bit famous over christmas. here is a handy recap. go for it. hughie, who is that with you? this is my sister, tracey. i've been told that you have raised nearly £50,000. yeah. he's doing such a greatjob and i couldn't thank him any more. that's absolutely amazing. thank you to everybody that has donated. so today, i've come back to the hospital to carry an in—depth interview, and check out the clipboard people

with one of my nurses. i'm going to find out what they think about stuff like covid, kissing, and the megamoney me and freddie have raised. this is emily who was one of the main nurses in my treatment. how do you feel about wearing masks, and i bet you're really excited about the day you don't have to wear them. i don't mind wearing one at all. it really doesn't bother me. i had a little personal victory the other week where i made you laugh at me withjust my eyes. have you ever heard of butterfly kisses, and have you found any interesting ways of how to interact with kids? i have not heard of a butterfly kiss. i think i am getting too old. it's like a distanced way of interacting. so you just blink really fast. makes you a bit dizzy, doesn't it? i probably won't do that when i'm walking around. and the fund raising me and freddie have done, what do you think of that? you should be so proud of yourselves. you have done an amazing job

and on behalf of everybody, thank you so much for all of your hard work. honestly, this place is proper amazing. like i said, i should know, because i've been here so many times. here is the evidence. these are my beads of courage. every time i do something, i get one of these, and when i first got diagnosed, i had 56 black beads and every black head is either a blood test or a thumb prick and i have lots more to come. so like i said, this isjust an amazing place, and i know the money that freddie has raised will make it even better. let's find out how they are going to spend it in a section of film we like to call — freddie and hughie's go on a virtual shopping trip for the royal manchester children's hospital.

music means a lot to both of us, doesn't it, freddie? for sure. we would like to fund the music therapist for the music that has helped me calm down and when i'm feeling a little bit anxious. music this is me in rehearsals for a show before i got poorly. check out the hair, people. and this is me on the drums. we love music. i think that is a great project and i am i completely pleased that you two have managed i to help ward 84 get that— provision and it's really important for them. i we are also going to get the hospital one of these, it's called a belmont infuser. it's basically a piece of kit that can - warm up a large amount of blood really quickly. i

the blood has to come from a fridge and if you put the blood into too quickly it has a risk of giving you hypothermia. as soon as me and freddie heard it would save lives, we were like, yes, we are doing that. let's pause right here because, as with all good interviews, we are about to hit them with a big exclusive. about what happened after we appeared on bbc breakfast on christmas day. thank you so much. two really generous people watched this and then we had a chat. they said, how much money are you on now? and we said, 185,000. and he said, well, £200,000 has a nice ring to it, so we want to top it up. that's incredible. i was speechless. i couldn't think of what to say. i bet you're not speechless very often, are you? - no. the support we've had has been amazing, sojust

a massive thank you to everybody who has supported you. when i think of what i've done i feel so proud of. myself that i have helped out. i couldn't have a better friend. he's just done such a greatjob. you are little superstars in our eyes, and i- think everyone's eyes, to be honest. thumbs up. goodbye! thanks everyone for helping us on our amazing journey. mine isn't over yet. i've got another three years of treatment in hospital, but i know it's going to be much nicer now because of everything freddie has done. thanks, pal. no problem, mate. a lot to admire about those two young gentlemen, the obvious things about how they are coping on the things they are doing in the struggle they are having but you

to 22.9, so nearly —23 celsius. seas are some of the other temperatures this morning across the uk even as far south as the ox —— outskirts of oxford at around —7 or minus eight degrees, so if you're about to head out, stick an extra lay on and another one on top. pretty cold out there but it is sunny for the vast majority and it hasn't been as cold this morning across southern counties as we expected with a bit more clout, one or two snow flurries —— cloud. there could be snow in cornwall and may pembrokeshire, and whilst there is the odd isolated shower in the far east of scotland it mostly stays dry and sunny and temperatures mayjust creep above freezing but some will stay well below. as we go into the evening and overnight, one thing to note will be the shower is returning to some parts of eastern scotland giving a further covering of snow and we could see snow in northern ireland as well but in between, lots of clear skies and temperatures are

widely dropping below freezing. not as cold as last night with a breeze but we could get to —10 or 11 in parts of the highlands. as we going to do tomorrow, snow flurries and eastern parts of scotland around aberdeenshire and angus and mcleod we started with in the west starts to diminish and push west with brighter skies, to diminish and push west with brighterskies, mostly to diminish and push west with brighter skies, mostly dry and sunny but an added wind—chill, so we still have cold air and stronger winds tomorrow and it will feel even colder and then through the weekend we start to see the fightback of something milder. it will be a long process as saturday still very cold but as the weather front pushes in, western areas could see a period of snow for anywhere wales or north could see a good covering, so keep an eye on that is temperatures struggling to get above freezing in some areas but next surge of mild able pushing from sunday and the next hazard could be freezing rain when rain falls onto very cold

ground and freezes on impact, very dangerous to drive in and it will turn to more general rain through the day as temperatures start to rise and you could see may be up to 10 degrees across the west and we've not seen that for well over a week but with the rain and the mild air comes a snow melt and the risk of flooding, but for the time being it is mightily cold out there and it will stay like that for the next few days yet. many layers is the answer. lots of you have been sending pictures in and we have been enjoying those this morning. nina is looking at how businesses are coping because lots of schemes are coping because lots of schemes are due to come to an end and businesses have been struggling, even with these government support schemes and they are very fearful about what might happen if they are not extended. in terms of the economy because of the government

schemes, it looks like the worst is yet to come. lots of businesses onlyjust holding it together at the moment. we're talking today about insolvency — that's basically when a business can't pay its debt and is in danger of closing. and that is something we can expect to see more this year. just over 12 and a half thousand companies went bust last year. that was actually a decrease on the previous year but that is expected to change. one of the leading insolvency firms has told breakfast they expect corporate insolvencies to double in 2021. so why is this rise coming? well, there are growing expectations that when support schemes like furlough scheme and government loans end that many more businesses will go to the wall. and it's notjust big companies facing tough times. according to the federation of small businesses as many as a quarter of a million could close this year. so how are small businesses surviving at the moment? many are seeing this as a learning opportunity. a chance to slim down to future proof the firm. and as i found out talking to some of them — often it's down to the determination

of the characters behind them. oh, there you are. there you are. look at him, with his mask on. oh, she's going again. pick a spot and stick with it. wendy has a furniture making business, and a lot of energy. we're dementia friendly due to the fact there are no handles. right. easy access. you could get a job with the shopping channel. and it's a good job. since covid struck, she's had to overhaul her business. shops have shut, so she's shifted focus to dementia—friendly furniture for care homes. it's just been so hard and so traumatic for the whole world. erm... you know, we had one lockdown, which was fine, because we catered really for the care home. the second one, everybody was in tears. the third one, this one's

killed our retailers. the business was launched a0 years ago by wendy's dad and uncle. wendy rescued itjust before covid struck, and is now battling daily to protect its legacy and the local skilled jobs that come with it. we've got fantastic people who have been here for years, absolutely years. they know what they're doing. they're all local. it's not about my pocket. it's about the company and making sure everybody�*s got a job. for the small businesses fighting for survival, it is the passion of their people getting them through. this lawn tennis club in manchester has been around since 1881. this slice of history in the suburbs was set up to rival wimbledon. then came covid. no gym, no classes, no events. one of the most stressful times, i think, was the redundancies. there had to be three

more redundancies. erm, and these were people who'd been with us a long time. and that was hard. it was hard for us. jane will not give up. she has faith in the club because its members have faith in it. if the current lockdown goes on too long, it could have a very serious impact on us. a significant proportion of our members have been great sticking with us, but they're not going to do it forever. you can't expect them to do it forever. janice's play centre and park need people. so far, she's lost close to £1 million in revenue. bills are being paid by a quarter of a million pound loan. the worst thing is that we've had to let go of good people. it's been hard. we've kind of like cut our coat according to our cloth, and we've lost all the savings that we had, which were going to be to rebuild this part of our attraction, and some other plans that we had in place. so, you know, personally, i've got rid of things and personal assets and things like that.

so, you know, we're going to survive. i know we're going to survive, but it's going to take us many, many years to to recover from this. and how do you feel about what comes next? well, i guess it's all on boris, on his next announcement. you know, hopefully he will say to our high street retailers, the doors are open, and obviously we're there to support them and help them on the way. and so wendy waits, as do thousands of small businesses for what comes next. are we going out for a drink after? we will, when this is over. best offer i've had all year. fancy a drink with wendy and me? one day. you're watching bbc breakfast.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines. major reforms to the health service in england are to be unveiled, but there's concern over how they can be implemented in the middle of the pandemic. absolutely we should be putting in place now the building blocks for a stronger, more integrated, more local nhs when we come out of this. i think it's absolutely right. now is exactly the right time to be doing this. the royal college of nursing yesterday said the nhs is on its knees. i mean, staff are exhausted. why is it a priority now for a big reorganisation of the nhs? scientists predict that the covid variant first found in kent could now become the world's dominant strain. confusion over whether or not to book a summer holiday — the health secretary insists
