uk. it was the start of the biggest vaccination programme in nhs history. then in mosques and museums, stadiums and pharmacies, more than 1500 centres across the uk, over 1a million people have had a first dose of the covid vaccine. the government target was to offer that first dose to about 15 million people by february 15. those in the top priority group include care home staff and residents, frontline health workers, anybody aged 70 or over, and people who are extremely clinically vulnerable. ministers expected that around three quarters of people who were offered the vaccine would accept it. the reality has been much higher, about nine in ten over 70s. but there is still a final push, encouraging those who are yet to be vaccinated to come forward. ~ ., ., ., , , ., forward. we are totally focused on meetin: forward. we are totally focused on meeting the _ forward. we are totally focused on meeting the target _

9 in 10 of all over—705. thousands of coronavirus tests taken in a surge testing programme around bristol have not been returned. public health officials have targeted specific locations to control and suppress the spread of covid—19 variants. residents living in 2a bristol and south gloucestershire postcodes are "strongly encouraged" to get a test. bristol city council is urging people who have taken part in localised surge testing in bristol and south gloucestershire to return their tests as quickly as possible. senators in the united states are expected to deliver a verdict this weekend in donald trump's second impeachment trial. the former prsident has been charged with incitement of insurrection following the riot at the capitol building last month. 0ur washington correspondent barbara plett usher reports. chanting: fight for trump!

fight for trump! _ donald trump told his supporters to fight like hell. but did he really mean it? nothing in the text could ever be construed as encouraging, condoning, or enticing unlawful activity of any kind. of course he did not, his lawyers argued, in a combative and brief defence. this was ordinary political rhetoric. to make its point, the defence produced a selectively edited video of democrats uttering the same word. fight that fight. we have been fighting... i was fighting very hard... time is of the essence both in terms of the fight... i think we should be fighting... there was no attempt to play down the horror of the violence, but mr trump's lawyers argued that those responsible had hijacked the event for their own purposes. the fact that the attacks were apparently premeditated, as alleged by the house managers, demonstrates the ludicrousness of the incitement allegation against the president. you can't insight what was already going to happen.

instead, they accused democrats of a politically motivated witch—hunt — the climax of years of trying to drive mr trump from office. mr heinrich. mr heinrich, aye. mr hickenlooper. mr hickenlooper, aye. ms hirono. ms hirono, aye. the defence was performing for an audience of one and he will almost certainly be acquitted in a vote later today. the shortest impeachment trial in us history. if there's one thing clear it's that both sides want this finished as soon as possible. and on one other thing they could agree. 0fficer goodman, thank you. applause. the courage of a police officer who protected them from the dangers that crossed party lines that day. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington.

a charity says a national day of remembrance for the victims of coronavirus is needed to help the uk deal with the effects of the pandemic. the end of life charity marie curie says the day will be an opportunity to remember those who have died and provide support for the millions grieving for loved ones. march 23rd, the anniversary of the day britain first went into lockdown, has been proposed. it is 6:07am on saturday. thanks for joining us. let's have a look at the saturday papers. many of the front pages are looking optimistically at the route out of lockdown. the express says the country is about to take its first steps on the road to freedom by "smashing" the vaccination target. the health secretary, matt hancock, has told the telegraph that coronavirus could become a disease the country can live with, like flu by the end of the year. the times leads on coronavirus in hospitals, saying that the number of covid patients in england is expected to halve over

the next month. and the mirror focuses on the return of the rule of six, reporting that the government is looking at allowing small groups to mix by may if infection rates fall far enough. anything on the inside? lots of romance and _ anything on the inside? lots of romance and heart _ anything on the inside? lots of romance and heart related - anything on the inside? lots of i romance and heart related stories this morning. i know you are feeling romantic, it being valentines weekend. i love this one. this is tom and gene, right? if you haven't got a valentine �*s card to your beloved and you cannot get to the shops essential visit today, this is a great excuse and a lovely story. tom has given his wifejean the same card, notjust the same type of card, the same card every valentine's day for 61 years. he sent it to her when he was stationed in singapore, the 20 gives it to her every year. do you think she knows where it is from yet?— where it is from yet? there are two wa s of

edges east, they will be patchy snow across parts of western scotland, north—west england, wales, and the south—west of england, likely to see a bit of patchy snow as well. look at the gusts of wind, a0 out —— a0 miles an hour or more, especially in the north and west. temperatures today will only be a degree or two above freezing for most of us at best, and when you combine is really low temperatures with that wind chill, it's going to feel really subzero. so typically temperatures will feel about —5 minus six degrees. quite cloudy as well, listen to wales blue sky and sunshine compared to recent days. as we move through into the evening hours and overnight, patchy snow to come across northern england and scotland as well, drier towards the south of that. another cold night. they could well be icy stretches for many places. not quite as cold, not those really low temperatures that we have had over the past couple of nights. heading through into sunday, and active front moving on through the west. lots of isobars on the chart, as you can see. an indication

that it will be a windy, gusty day. this mild air will gradually adjust across all parts of the uk, as we have through to the end of the day, but about eight o'clock in the morning, temperatures typically in the east will still be close to freezing, turning milderfrom the west. we are likely to have icy stretches, certainly through the course of sunday morning, and in some places some of that ice could last through the day. heading through sunday, a cloudy and windy day once again. gusts of wind up to 60 or 70 miles an hour, especially around exposed coast and hills in the north and west. an area of rain moving slowly east, reaching all parts by the end of sunday. temperatures still about four degrees or five degrees in the east, but we're just about back in double figures towards the west. so as we had the course of next week, things are turning mild. by snow and ice, hello wind and rain through the course of next week. john and naga? when zoe and bruce henderson

were woken in the night by strange noises in their kitchen, they assumed it was their pet cats getting up to mischief. the truth though was rather stranger than they'd imagined, as piers hopkirk has been finding out. it began as a mystery. who was the nighttime intruder breaking into the henderson family home? fortunately, cctv caught him in the act and they soon got the answer nose to nose. i was asleep in bed, and heard some noises in the kitchen and sort of stirred and as i sort of turned to the side, ifelt stirred and as i sort of turned to the side, i felt something on the side of the bed, thinking it was one of the cats trying to get up, and turned around to see a big squishy black nose that was a badger with his two clawed feet on the side of

hello, and welcome to be the film review with me, mark kermode, reminding you that while cinemas might be closed due to lockdown, there are plenty of new movies to be enjoyed in the comfort and safety of your own home. the biggest release of the week is news of the world, writer—director paul greengrass's visually expansive but oddly intimate adaptation of the 2016 novel intimate adaptation of paulette jarzis's 2016 novel which comes on like the searches or true crit crossed with broadcast news. these are difficult times. bad times. i shoot, you go.

the setting may be post—civil war north texas but there is no mistaking the contemporary parallels as tom hanks'sjefferson kyle kidd travels aligned dramatically reading stories from a selection of newspapers and journals like a protean news feed additive. i'm here to tell you about the 11 men who lived. with his avuncular manner and steadfast trustworthiness, he's an 18705 walter cronkite, spreading the good word with a touch of theatre. i'm not going to hurt you. yet this show is almost stolen from hanks, who starred in captain villas, by young german actor helena zengel, who was in system crasher and plays an 11—year—old who lived with the kiowa tribe after being kidnapped years earlier. now offered after the second time, she falls into the care of the captain reluctantly agrees to take the girl, who speaks no english,

two are only surviving relatives, a german aunt and uncle many miles away. and so the mismatched pair embark on an odyssey through a quasi—mythical landscape which will see both transformed by the journey. lensed in handsome widescreen vistas by darius wolsky, news of the world cries out to be seen on the big screen, with sweeping landscapes and high—ridge shootouts to an eerie dust storm which engulfs the protagonists. yet even with the lockdown and fall strictures of a netflix—only uk release, this still strikes a timely court, thanks to an apathetic script co—written by luke davis, which inventively addresses the contemporary spectre of truth versus alternative back alongside issues of racism, exploitation and the importance of remembering and fairly reporting one's own history. the result is a rewarding drama that reminded me somewhat of scott cooper's underrated hostiles, a change of pace for greengrass who made his name with nailbiting movies like united 93 and the bourne series, but takes a gentle approach to character and setting.

it's available on netflix now. kristen wiig and anna mumolo co—wrote 2011's bridesmaids, a brilliant comedy about two women battling for the affections of a friend in the run—up to her wedding day, sharp, smart and laugh out loud funny, occasionally outrageous but sometimes pointedly truthful. few of those adjectives could be given to barb and star go to vista del mar, a film that takes the talents of wiig and mumolo and squanders them on an ill—disciplined mess which looks like someone took the outtakes, middle—aged sketch comedy and mix them up with sub—austin powers/sky kids romp for reasons that remain unclear. i am star, short for starbara.

and yours is barbara? no, barb — plain old barb. wigg and mumolo another twinset impels pair to talk about their friendship and lost loves. when redundancy calls, they broaden their horizons with a florida holiday where they fall for 50 shades star jamie drawn where they have an ecstasy fuelled threesome. really. barb. she is 611. we are in 12a. unfortunately, dornan is working secretly for an evil villain who is born with a condition that makes her allergic to sunlight and is in charge of a range of killer mosquitoes that she plans to release, via remote control, killing everyone in the resort in revenge for a childhood snub. trust me, i'm not making this up, it is the plot if you can call it a plot, which you can't. what is she doing? i hope she gives me bigger teeth. you could be forgiven for thinking

that such a self—consciously kooky contrivance which comes complete with musical numers and hallucinogenic fantasy sequences could crazy enough to be a cult classic. it isn't. it's more of a car crash, flailing bizarrely between one disconnected set piece in the next, giving the impression that a drunk person is simply flipping the channels on the tv while pointing and laughing at the results. 0n the plus side, there are a few chuckles to be had in the well reversed interaction between barb and star and inside gags such as the terrible songs of lounge single richard cheese but you expect so much more from wiig and mumolo, genuine talents from who this is a misfire. you can find barb and star go to vista del mar on a wide range of digital platforms now. you 0k?

in slalom, naya bitar plays a teenager who dreams of becoming a ski champion. in this, she is aided by fred, a coach who promises to put her to the limits. but despite saying that he is 100% focused on winnings, he has more sinister desires, calling to line issues with auditory sports coaches, and young athletes at the mercy of older trainers.— coaches, and young athletes at the mercy of older trainers. having made a slash mercy of older trainers. having made a splash playing _ mercy of older trainers. having made a splash playing a _ mercy of older trainers. having made a splash playing a 13-year-old, - mercy of older trainers. having made a splash playing a 13-year-old, she i a splash playing a 13—year—old, she is in her early 20s, she looks much younger. she is very impressive as the talented but impressionable teen, distance from mother and

preyed upon by fred whose advances are a horrifying mix of violent assault and creeping coercion. crucially, favierseeks assault and creeping coercion. crucially, favier seeks to betray the mood, placing her in a position which makes herfeel implicated, ensuring she tells no—one. unsurprisingly, this makes for harrowing viewing, although favier also captures the adrenal rush of slalom skiing, which becomes a metaphor for her own life, hurtling between obstacles, unable to stop with no way out but straight ahead. slalom is available on demand now. i will leave you with a couple of titles, both of which broadly fall under the banner of horror banner, yet which could not be more different.

we'll start with sator, an atmospheric mood piece written and directed byjordan graham, who worked on the film for as long as david lynch slogged away at eraserhead, shootings, scoring, doing pretty much at eraserhead, shootings scoring, designing, producing, doing pretty much everything except starring. the slow burn scenario unfold in the deep, dark woods of northern california where particular entity haunts the variously titular members of an extended family. every once in a while, ijust wake up and he is there, he talks to me. inspiration for coup apparently came from graham's grandmother june peterson, whom he recorded talking about her own experience of a guiding entity which he then worked into the already developed film. the result is by turns haunting, frustrating, surprising and, ultimately, rather fascinating. yes, it's full of narrative loose ends, and raises more questions

than it answers, but there is something in there, something buried in the inky blackness of the screen which at times reminded me of the chilly tension of robert eggers' the witch. while audiences eager for scary thrills will lose patience, sator, available from monday, casts an eerie spell which lingers long after the film has finished. i'm going to feast on your face! there is nothing lingering about this week's other horror outing, willy's wonderland, the dark slice of wannabe cult trash that pictures nic cage, never knowingly underracted, cave against an assortment

of possessed mechanical toys in a murderous indoor kids' theme park. welcome to willy's wonderland. this is a nonspeaking role for nic cage who left the bed and sunglasses do the talking as he eats up an assortment of twisted playground characters are all of which are as hungry for blood as he is for the punchy canned drinks on which he seems to survive. # it's your birthday, and we want you to have...# written in direct did by kevin lewis and jim parsons, respectively, willy's wonderland began life as a comic short called wally�*s wonderland and it would have been better if it stayed that way. while the sight of a grown man doing battle with evil robotic teletubbies may be entertaining for a moment, it is not enough to sustain a feature film,, even one enlivened by cage's trademark 0tt schtick. have you been listening to a word i have been saying? it doesn't help of course that we have seen all this before, in tobe hooper�*s the funhouse back in the 805, in videogames five nights at freddy's, a video

adaptation of which has long been start welding axes. still if you want to see nicholas cage beat a fluffy gorilla to death with an axe and leave it footed by a urinal, it is available on streaming stores. thanks for watching, see you next week.

incited insurrection and want him barred from holding office in future. the government is getting rid of a cap of £95,000 on public sector redundancy payments, which comes after unions argued the measure would affect workers who earn as little as £25,000 per year. ministers say they are looking for new ways to tackle excessive pay—outs for higher earners. a busy weekend of sport had for mike. 50 a busy weekend of sport had for mike. . a busy weekend of sport had for mike-_ yes. - a busy weekend of sport had for mike-_ yes. i - a busy weekend of sport had for mike._ yes, i tell- a busy weekend of sport had for| mike._ yes, i tell you mike. so exciting! yes, itell you what, scotland _ mike. so exciting! yes, itell you what, scotland are _ mike. so exciting! yes, itell you what, scotland are still- mike. so exciting! yes, itell you what, scotland are still buzzing, | mike. so exciting! yes, i tell you i what, scotland are still buzzing, on cloud nine after that brilliant wind over england. cloud nine after that brilliant wind over england-— cloud nine after that brilliant wind over enrland. ., .,, ,':f~ , ., over england. that was it, 38 years? 37 ears over england. that was it, 38 years? 37 years since _ over england. that was it, 38 years? 37 years since they _ over england. that was it, 38 years? 37 years since they last _ over england. that was it, 38 years? 37 years since they last won - over england. that was it, 38 years? 37 years since they last won at - 37 years since they last won at twickenham. 50 37 years since they last won at twickenham.— twickenham. so they are rightly excited, but now— twickenham. so they are rightly excited, but now there - twickenham. so they are rightly excited, but now there is - twickenham. so they are rightly excited, but now there is this i excited, but now there is this dangerous link of expectation, and raised hopes against wales. sometimes that can mean a fall. having tasted victory at twickenham for the first time since 1983, scotland go chasing a fifth consecutive six nations win today when they face wales at murrayfield. their brilliant win over england last weekend has raised scottish hopes of a first six nations title,

but they face a wales side, who won their opening game too, against ireland. patrick geary reports. this is as close as you can get to a party and someone else's house right now. before last week, when scotland lost one of the home of english rugby 38 years ago, the game was a mature and none of our players were born. —— amateur. but with no crowds, national celebration in isolation. fin crowds, national celebration in isolation. ,, ., , crowds, national celebration in isolation. ,, , ., isolation. on sunday when we started to vet the isolation. on sunday when we started to get the messages _ isolation. on sunday when we started to get the messages and _ isolation. on sunday when we started to get the messages and the - isolation. on sunday when we started to get the messages and the videos l to get the messages and the videos were getting sent, but what impact it made on the country, and how people felt at the final whistle, it was great. it is always nice in the sport, but those big winds stay with you longer. ieoig sport, but those big winds stay with ou lon . er. �* , sport, but those big winds stay with ou loner. �* , ., , you longer. big winds have been disappointingly _ you longer. big winds have been disappointingly rare _ you longer. big winds have been disappointingly rare over - you longer. big winds have been disappointingly rare over the - you longer. big winds have beenl disappointingly rare over the past two decades. yet right now scotland had some of the most exciting players in europe, the likes of ben russell and stuart hogg measure success in terms of tournaments one,

and wales, no time to stand still. patrick geary, bbc news. england also play today, welcome italy to twickenham. they will be looking for a positive response to what was a poor performance against scotland last week. head coach eddie jones told our rugby union correspondent chris jones jones told our rugby union correspondent chrisjones but he has not been listening to any of the criticism, especially from social media. yeah, i heard a great description of what social media is. it is the modern version of what you use to see on the toilet wall. used to go to the urinal and somebody would say, chrisjones is a terrible journalist. this is his number, ring him. and now we find social media has taken that and it has run with it. so those people who used to write on toilet walls are the people who are writing on the social media now. you make a decision on whether you respect that opinion or not, mate. staying with rugby, it was top versus bottom in the premiership last nigth as leaders bristol narrowly beat gloucester by 18—17.

bristol are now 6 points clear of second placed exeter for the time being. elsewhere, bath were surprise winners at sale. now after england's dominance in the first test in india, the hosts are desperate to bounce back in the second match in chennai. it has been a fast start, with an early wicket for england, 0llie stone trapping rohit sharma lbw in just a second over. rohit sharma started smashing it around like it was a 2020 much, but a quickfire 80. he is not out. england took to wickets more before lunch, including captain derek colley. all that in one breathtaking session. —— captain virat kohli. it's a big day for britian's cameron norrie at the australian open. he plays rafael nadal in the third round in melbourne. they're due on the rod laver arena in the next couple of hours. nadal has won 20 grand slams, whilst norrie is playing in the third round, of a slam event, forjust the second time. the match will be played behind closed doors now, after a lockdown to control a small outbreak of coronavirus came into force in the state of victoria.

and things have got much closer at the top of the women's super league, after city beat united in the manchester derby by 3—0. lucy bronze and lauren hemp put city two up, before caroline weir scored the pick of the goals with this brillaint chip. so city move into second, a point above united, and nowjust two points behind the leaders chelsea. so much to look forward to today, and i should say that scotland and wales is on bbc one this afternoon, at four o'clock.— wales is on bbc one this afternoon, at four o'clock._ yes. i at four o'clock. four o'clock. yes. since the — at four o'clock. four o'clock. yes. since the day _ at four o'clock. four o'clock. yes. since the day up _ at four o'clock. four o'clock. yes. since the day up perfectly, - at four o'clock. four o'clock. yes. | since the day up perfectly, doesn't it? , , ., ., ., it? yes, feet up in the afternoon. and it is cold _ it? yes, feet up in the afternoon. and it is cold today. _ it? yes, feet up in the afternoon. and it is cold today. great - it? yes, feet up in the afternoon. and it is cold today. great for - it? yes, feet up in the afternoon. and it is cold today. great for a i and it is cold today. great for a lockdown- _ now, this is an amazing story. something that has happened for the first time, 1a times a medical history, and it involves a couple in england, a rare phenomenon called superfetation. that england, a rare phenomenon called superfetation—

morning for northern ireland, could be about five or ten centimetres falling, certainly slippery surfaces for many of us through the course of the morning. but there will be patchy snowfall across parts of western scotland in north—west england, wales and a bit down towards the south—west. combined with these gusts of wind, a0 miles per hour, blizzard conditions. with the very low temperatures above freezing, combined with the strong southerly winds, is going to feel really cold out there. low is about —10 degrees in a few spots. quite cloudy as well, listen away of sunshine compared to recent days. as we look to this evening and tonight, it would be quite as cold. still some slippery surfaces, snowfall across parts of scotland, those temperatures down below freezing for

many of us first thing. not as low as the temperatures we had over the past few nights. through sunday, a big area of high pressure to the east, low pressure moving in and mild where sweeping across the country but it will take a while still quite a cold morning. temperatures near freezing for many of us. starting to pick up sunday morning from the west, there could be some icy stretches throughout the day for some of us on sunday. a cloudy, windy day tomorrow, gusts 60-70 cloudy, windy day tomorrow, gusts 60—70 miles per hour to the north and west and patchy rain moving its way in. it should stay dry for the bulk of the david for most of the rain and strong wind as well. look at those temperatures, back into double figures for the likes of belfast implement but still single figures towards the east and as you

move into the coming week, it's all changed, things turning milder but still quite unsettled, rain, snow melt as well. problems with flooding through the course of next week. a question i was asked yesterday because i was complaining about it being so cold, would you prefer a long cold spell or milder and wept and i generally don't know. the cold dry is a bit easier to cope with. i quite like that cold, dry, crisp wintry weather but it can't last forever. this wintry weather but it can't last forever. �* , , , wintry weather but it can't last forever. a , , . ., let's take a look at this week's click.

hey, welcome to click! hope you're doing 0k. now, for many people, the change in our routines over the last year, our working arrangements and our personal lives has been pretty challenging. changes in routine can throw any of us, whatever they are, and it can take a little while to get back into the rhythm. yeah, and for neurodiverse children, this whole thing has been so much more difficult, and the last 12 months has affected each and every one of them differently. yes, and the differences can be really extreme. i have heard stories of autistic kids in lockdown who have really struggled with the lack of a structured school day, but i have also heard stories of those who have really flourished without the pressures of an unpredictable day at school. and when you can't go out and see people, you also cannot get the professional support that you might have been able to get before. you can't even see familiar

faces and familiar friends. now, we are learning more and more about neurodiversity and would you believe that robots are now helping some children on the autistic spectrum. new devices can speak, play and teach kids and help them to learn practical and social skills, and paul carter has been finding out more. woman: oh - he came towards ya! ooh! whoa! wow! say "go, bubbles!" this is ethan. is he your friend? yes. he lives with his mum christina in pennsylvania. bubbles: hey, ethan. hi, bubbles! this little robot entered his life three months ago. it's been named bubbles. bubbles: this is onej of my favourite times

of the day, when i get to play with you. the kebbi robot itself was built in taiwan but it has been programmed with more than 100 special education lessons and games by movia robotics in the us. all clean! ethan was non—verbal until aged six but can now say several words at a time. a lot of the times when bubbles speaks and he asks ethan something, ethan will actually repeat what the robot said or he'll repeat what the answer is. let's do a new activity. 0ooh! _ 0ne coin exercise has gone down particularly well. this is a penny. he is able to recognise what coins are and what they are called, so there was four different coins. nickels, dimes, nickels. yes! and sojust like that, we had never taught him that, and so he is learning that directly from bubbles. and dance parties help break up tasks — complete with robot dance moves, of course.

i like it! now, it's bubbles' physicality that makes the difference. ethan hugs the robot, he will say good morning to it, he'll say good night and "bye—bye bubbles" as if it is a friend or a family member, so ijust don't think you get that relationship and that connection through an ipad and i don't know how you would get that from a flat screen. but bubbles isn't the first robot used to help autistic children. the last 20 years has seen a growing body of research with bots in all shapes and sizes. what we do know from a great many small—scale studies is that human—robot interaction — in particular child—robot interaction, with well—designed robots, can result and often does result in improved verbalisation, improved social skills, improved learning, initiating play, initiating showing attention. this robot has been specially built over the past five years to teach social and cognitive skills. and, yes, it is an owl! owl giggles. we wanted it to not evoke humanity in particular because that could be off—putting for many children on the spectrum. we also wanted it to look like something that could be very smart.

0wls are thought to be smart. the child would listen to the robot, trust it as an authority and engage with it, because the robot was a tutor and a friend. kiwi doesn'tjust look smart — it is smart. it teaches kids maths while responding to their behaviour. kiwi: where - are the happy faces? can you count them? to interact with any human for any period of time, it takes intelligent ai. so just to know if the child is even in the frame and hasn't walked away takes intelligence. how do you know that the child is engaged? are they performing? are they taking turns? are they making eye contact? this is all ai. a pioneer in herfield, maja also co—founded moxie, a soon to ship robot that has been backed by amazon. it's nice to meet you riley.

i love stories. would you read a story to me? what we haven't seen yet is real—life products in the home with evidence over a period of let's say a year. riley, we have a new mission. would you make a drawing for me? ultimately, that evidence will end up coming from products likely sooner than it will come from research. but bringing robots out of purely academic settings is expensive. ethan's robot from movia robotics starts at $800 a pop. the moxie comes with a pre—order price tag of $1700. and softbank robotics' nao robot, first used by autistic children around a decade ago, costs more than $8,000. so are they really worth the expense? so there are more and more of these innovations hitting the market, so when you are dealing with another human being, you have to think about their tone of voice, you have to think about their body language. there's lots and lots of information that is involved in an interaction with another person, so tech can help by simplifying those things. but importantly, no—one should see a robotic aid as a silver bullet.

just because something worked for one family, it doesn't mean it will work for someone else. don't take really rash decisions because you could be using that money on a piece of tech when actually, what your child needs is more support from an occupational therapist or a speech and language therapist. maybe that it's helpful for special schools to try out some of this equipment before parents rush in — rush to purchase them. movia robotics has rolled out 160 systems across schools, therapy organisations and homes around the world. the team says early testing in us schools has seen some kids improve by up to 20% across their verbal, attention and academic skills. for ethan and christina, bubbles has been a worthwhile purchase. so for us, it has been extremely life—changing — i mean, there's really no other way to describe it. one, two, three. 0h, four! he gets four thumbs up from us!

so this valentine's day, i'm going to be spending it with... no—one! i'm single right now. but i'm baking myself a valentine's cake — lemon flavour — just to, you know, give myself some love. but even if i found my soulmate tomorrow, i don't think it would be all happiness and roses forever. i reckon it probably takes quite a bit to keep the flame alive. alex and i have been together for ten years in total. we have lots of adventures together normally, but obviously under lockdown circumstances, you are experiencing the same thing together all day, every day. so since beginning of lockdown,

we have been together for about — we have spent no time apart. it got to a point where we were just — everything was annoying each other. we were in each other's way, a lot. well, as gloomy as this may seem, there is an app out there that can help you keep the communication alive. paired launched last year with a basic and the premium version that you have to pay for. you are given topics to chat about each day. it's only once you have given your own answers that you can see your partner's, prompting the conversation about it afterwards, gamifying the experience, to help you get to know each other better and how you are feeling. it makes you question it, it makes you ask it, it makes you talk. it asks your thoughts. it reminds you that you have so much more in common and that you enjoyed each other's company pre—children, because it's so easy

when you've got young children to only talk to each other about your children. for tom, who has cerebral palsy, the stresses of lockdown caused him to suffer more pain than usual. that and restrictions have meant that he has not always been there to supportjess during her pregnancy. we come from different backgrounds. i've got a family but i'm not as close so to me, it has made us understand each other. and then, if you understand something, it doesn't upset you. but why do you need technology to tell you what should really be common sense? you should always continue to work on your relationship as a couple. otherwise, you know, stagnant becomes not exciting and potentially dangerous. this app made me see differently. i like the way it kind of prompts you. and if i don't do it, the apps prompting me and jess is prompting me to answer the question, so i don't know where we'd be. i'd hate to know. we got a baby here now, so i'm happy we are together and we are a family. it seems like in the best

circumstances, this kind of app can help people both have their cake and eat it. but from what i've seen, this is just one of several out there trying to get couples to communicate more. for instance, the toucan app, which claims it can take the pulse of your relationship, map it out, and give couples practical tools. and there is between us, just launched by couples therapy organisation tavistock relationships. it is said to dig a bit deeper to help couples better understand the root of their problems. but can these apps really help solve the deeper issues of a relationship? the apps are very good at prompting communication, it doesn't really tell you how to do it, and it can't replace the therapist who is actually in the room noticing the dynamic between the couple and helping them to take care of themselves and to improve the way they communicate by actually coaching them through that. that was 0mar.

you can find him on social media and all good dating sites! (laughs) true! and i'm afraid that is it for the short version, the full length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and you can keep up with the whole team, notjust 0mar, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. bye— bye.

correspondent katherine burns has the latest for us. it's less than ten weeks since margaret keenan became the first person to have a covid vaccine outside of clinical trials in the uk. it was the start of the biggest vaccination programme then in mosques and museums, stadiums and pharmacies, more than 1500 centres across the uk, over 1a million people have had a first dose of the covid vaccine. the government target was to offer that first dose to about 15 million people by the 15th of february. those in the top priority group include care home staff and residents, frontline health workers, anybody aged 70 or over, and people who are extremely clinically vulnerable. ministers expected that around three quarters of people who were offered the vaccine would accept it. the reality has been much higher, about 9 in 10 over—705. but there's still a final push, encouraging those who are yet to be vaccinated to come forward.

we are totally focused on meeting the target of offering, by monday, everybody who is aged over 70 or a health or social care worker, or who is clinically extremely vulnerable, offering them all the jab. and if you are in one of those groups, what i would say is, please come forward if you haven't already got an appointment to be jabbed, because the more people who get this jab, the safer everybody is. thejob is farfrom over, though. now, as well as giving second booster injections, the focus turns to over—505. the aim is to offer a first dose of vaccine to them by may and all adults by september. government and the nhs will work with local authorities, charities, and faith leaders to achieve this. catherine burns, bbc news. the health secretary, matt hancock, said he hopes covid—19 let's get the latest from our political correspondent nick

eardley, who joins political correspondent nick eardley, whojoins us on political correspondent nick eardley, who joins us on this. matt hancock sounding optimistic about the vaccine, in fact, generally sounding quite optimistic in the papers this morning? i think that is absolutely right. ministers are pretty heavy with the way the vaccine rollout has gone. all the signs are they will meet that target over the next couple of days and then they will start setting some more targets, and matt hancock is also in the telegraph this morning, he has done an interview where he talks about covid being a manageable disease by the end of this year, as you start to get better drugs that can stop people getting really ill and dying, and you add in the fact that by then, a lot of people, potentially most adults in the uk, will have been vaccinated. i think there is a bit of optimism in government about the way this is all going. and then it begs the big question, well, what happens next? when does society start to open again, when does the lockdown start to get lifted? there is lots of speculation in the papers this morning about the idea of

potentially being outside pubs by the end of april. i've got to say downing street is not quite going there without this morning, and remember, the prime minister has said he is going to look at the data he gets next week, once the first part of the vaccine rollout, that is the top four categories, all people over 70, once that has been done, he is going to look at the data, and the week after that, the week beginning the 22nd, for england, will get the roadmap out of lockdown, and some more detail about what the next few weeks and months will look like. what the next few weeks and months will look like-— will look like. thanks very much indeed. will look like. thanks very much indeed- it _ will look like. thanks very much indeed. it is _ will look like. thanks very much indeed. it is interesting, - will look like. thanks very much indeed. it is interesting, isn'ti will look like. thanks very much | indeed. it is interesting, isn't it, the papers this morning are all very forward—looking. nick eardley, thank you. thousands of home testing kits in and around bristol have not been returned. health officials have been targeting specific locations to suppress the spread of new variants. residents living in 20

gloucestershire postcodes are strongly urged to get at us and return them as quickly as possible. senators in the united states are expected to deliver a verdict this weekend on donald trump's second impeachment trial. the former president has been charged with "incitement of insurrection" following the riot at the capitol building last month. 0ur washington correspondent barbara plett usher reports. chanting: fight for trump! fight for trump! donald trump told his supporters to fight like hell. but did he really mean it? nothing in the text could ever be construed as encouraging, condoning, or enticing unlawful activity of any kind. of course he did not, his lawyers argued, in a combative and brief defence. this was ordinary political rhetoric. to make its point, the defence produced a selectively edited video of democrats uttering the same word. fight that fight. we have been fighting... i was fighting very hard... time is of the essence both in terms of the fight... i think we should be fighting...

there was no attempt to play down the horror of the violence, but mr trump's lawyers argued that those responsible had hijacked the event for their own purposes. the fact that the attacks were apparently premeditated, as alleged by the house managers, demonstrates the ludicrousness of the incitement allegation against the president. you can't insight what was already going to happen. —— incite. instead, they accused democrats of a politically motivated witch—hunt — the climax of years of trying to drive mr trump from office. mr heinrich. mr heinrich, aye. mr hickenlooper. mr hickenlooper, aye. ms hirono. ms hirono, aye. the defence was performing for an audience of one and he will almost certainly be acquitted in a vote later today. the shortest impeachment trial in us history. if there's one thing clear it's that both sides want this finished as soon as possible.

and on one other thing they could agree. 0fficer goodman, thank you. applause. the courage of a police officer who protected them from the dangers that crossed party lines that day. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, washington. here, the government is getting rid of a cap of £95,000 in public sector redundancy payments. it comes after unions argued that the measure would affect workers earning as little as £25,000 per year. ministers say they are now going to look for new ways to tackle excessive pay—outs for higher earners. a charity says a national day of remembrance for the victims of coronavirus is needed to help the uk deal with the effects of the pandemic. the end of life charity marie curie says the day will be an opportunity to remember those who have died and provide support for the millions grieving for loved ones. march 23rd, the anniversary

of the day britain first went into lockdown, has been proposed. thanks forjoining us this saturday morning. as we have been hearing, health secretary in england matt hancock has said he hopes covid—19 is going to become, he hasn't used the word normal, but a more treatable, regular disease, he is thinking, by the end of this year. in an article for the telegraph he also said the government is aiming to offer all adults a first dose of the rotavirus vaccine by september. how realistic is that? let's talk to a gp today, doctor sarahjarvis. dr jarvis, good morning. when matt hancock says this is going to be a treatable disease, what does that mean? we already know that there are treatments in hospitals, dexamethasone, there has been so much more knowledge gained from how to ventilate, et cetera, and looking for different signs. so in what way

is it becoming a treatable disease different to how it is now? well. different to how it is now? well, firstl , different to how it is now? well, firstly. the _ different to how it is now? well, firstly, the vaccines _ different to how it is now? well, firstly, the vaccines do - different to how it is now? well, firstly, the vaccines do appear i different to how it is now? well, | firstly, the vaccines do appear to not only offer really good protection, but even if they don't offer 100% protection, people who do get it appear to be much less likely to get severely unwell. so for instance with the astrazeneca vaccine, although the number of people getting it is not reduced by quite as much, if you look at the statistics, as with the pfizer vaccine, nobody who had had the astrazeneca vaccine within two weeks, orfrom two astrazeneca vaccine within two weeks, or from two weeks, astrazeneca vaccine within two weeks, orfrom two weeks, ended up in hospital. so we've now got vaccines which we think we can tweak very quickly. astrazeneca hasjust come out and said it can produce a version which could be effective against, completely effective or as effective, against the new variant two, the south africa variants, by september. and pfizer and madonna, who produced the mrna vaccine, are likely to be able to pivot even more quickly. we also have a new drug

which shows that for every four people treated you can save on debt in addition to dexamethasone, so all the time, we are developing new drugs, which means that death rates, if you do get it, a much better, and the number of people admitted from it much, much lower. 50 the number of people admitted from it much, much lower.— the number of people admitted from it much, much lower. so what you're sa ind, it much, much lower. so what you're saying. sarah. _ it much, much lower. so what you're saying, sarah, what— it much, much lower. so what you're saying, sarah, what matt _ it much, much lower. so what you're saying, sarah, what matt hancock i it much, much lower. so what you're saying, sarah, what matt hancock is| saying, sarah, what matt hancock is saying, sarah, what matt hancock is saying, and what all the papers are saying, and what all the papers are saying this morning, is pretty upbeat today, saying that vaccination programme is going well and numbers are falling down. yet i don't think i'm the only person who, every time we seem to get to a point where things are looking better, we then see something happens, a new variant or something, and we take two steps back. we would be foolish to be too optimistic right now, right? to be too optimistic right now, rirht? ~ to be too optimistic right now, riyht?~ , to be too optimistic right now, rirht? , ., , right? we absolutely cannot be complacent- — right? we absolutely cannot be complacent. and _ right? we absolutely cannot be complacent. and i _ right? we absolutely cannot be complacent. and i think- right? we absolutely cannot be complacent. and i think the - right? we absolutely cannot be l complacent. and i think the new variants real concern. we have now seen just in the last couple of weeks this ea8ay mutation, the one that appeared on the south african variant, on the brazilian variant, which made the virus more able to

hide from our immune system, we have seen that springing up in people who have never been anywhere near anybody who has been to south africa or brazil. so it is clearly springing up on its own. so yes, of course the scientists are going to need to keep on their toes. 0n the whole we tend to find that pandemic viruses get less deadly as time goes on, and therefore we may find that while we will need to continue to have vaccines, and it is definitely not going to be back to normal, it may be a new normal for a year or two, i think there is reason for optimism, but no reason for complacency. optimism, but no reason for complacency-— optimism, but no reason for com-lacen . ., ., , complacency. sarah, we are very clear, complacency. sarah, we are very clear. and _ complacency. sarah, we are very clear. and we — complacency. sarah, we are very clear, and we will— complacency. sarah, we are very clear, and we will be _ complacency. sarah, we are very clear, and we will be talking - complacency. sarah, we are very clear, and we will be talking to i complacency. sarah, we are very clear, and we will be talking to a| clear, and we will be talking to a professor— clear, and we will be talking to a professor from the jvc i shortly on this programme, but we are very clear— this programme, but we are very clear that — this programme, but we are very clear that most, and it is a better number— clear that most, and it is a better number already, matt hancock said, of phases— number already, matt hancock said, of phases one to four, of this group of phases one to four, of this group of nine _ of phases one to four, of this group of nine dusty of phases one to four, of this group of nine dustijvi laid out, 90% of them _ of nine dustijvi laid out, 90% of them are — of nine dustijvi laid out, 90% of them are vaccinated and they are having _

protection, they have to have that second dose. if you have the first dose, it is because you understand that you need protecting, and if you understand you need protecting, you must understand that for long—term protection, the so—called t—cell prediction which basically helps our body in the long—term spring into action if we get exposed to the virus again, you've got to have that second dose. qm. virus again, you've got to have that second dose-— second dose. ok, drjarvis, thanks indeed. a second dose. ok, drjarvis, thanks indeed- a busy _ second dose. ok, drjarvis, thanks indeed. a busy day _ second dose. ok, drjarvis, thanks indeed. a busy day to _ second dose. ok, drjarvis, thanks indeed. a busy day to you - second dose. ok, drjarvis, thanks indeed. a busy day to you again i second dose. ok, drjarvis, thanks indeed. a busy day to you again no doubt stop thank you. what happened i'm going to keep an eye on the flower displays. did you have nice lilies? beautiful white lilies. doctor chris smith and professor linda bold coming up later with our 30— minute chat. they are having a flower—off. they haven't been swapping but professor linda bold always has a strong tower game and chris, not so much. he has

there hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. there good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. senior ministers will visit coronavirus vaccination sites across england today in a final push to ensure everybody who is eligible gets inoculated. the government has set a target of vaccinating 15 million of the most vulnerable people by monday. those in the top priority groups include care home staff and residents, frontline health workers, anybody aged 70 or over, and people who are clinically extremely vulnerable. meanwhile, the health secretary in england, matt hancock, has set inoculations and treatments will turn covid—19 into a disease we can live with, like flu, by the end of the year. in an

interview with the daily telegraph, he says he hopes that every adult in the uk will have been offered vaccine by september. across the uk, a quarter of adults have now already received one dose, including about nine in ten of all the over 70s. senators in the us are expected to deliver a verdict on the impeachment trial of donald trump later today. lawyers representing the former president say he used routine political rhetoric when telling supporters to fight like hell shortly before a mob stormed the capitol building injanuary. democrats say he incited insurrection and want him barred from holding office in the future. more news coverage coming up at eight o'clock, at the top of the hour. but mike is here with a busy weekend in sport. d0 hour. but mike is here with a busy weekend in sport.— hour. but mike is here with a busy weekend in sport. do you know, the 'o weekend in sport. do you know, the “0 that weekend in sport. do you know, the joy that the — weekend in sport. do you know, the joy that the cricket _ weekend in sport. do you know, the joy that the cricket has _ weekend in sport. do you know, the joy that the cricket has brought - joy that the cricket has brought over the past week that the exotic locations, joe root�*s performance. for england fans, at least. locations, joe root's performance. for england fans, at least.- for england fans, at least. well, that is what _ for england fans, at least. well, that is what we _ for england fans, at least. well, that is what we care _ for england fans, at least. well, that is what we care about. - that is what we care about. 0bviously that is what we care about. obviously it is in chennai. i think

back home in the six nations, scotland are still buzzing from the first win at twickenham for the first win at twickenham for the first time since 1983, but now they must deal with the expectation and raised hopes that comes with their recent resurgence. whales have proved in the past that they can burst such bubbles. they also have a winning start to build on at murrayfield this afternoon. this is as close as you can get to a party in someone else's house right now. before last week, when scotland last won at the home of english rugby 38 years ago, the game was amateur and none of their players were born. but with no crowd, a national celebration in isolation. on sunday when we started to get the messages and videos getting sent to us about what an impact it made on the country, and how people felt at the final whistle, it was great. it's always nice to win in sport, but those big wins stay with you longer. big wins have been disappointingly

rare over the past two decades. yet right now scotland has some of the most exciting players in europe. the likes of ben russell and stuart hogg measure success in terms of tournaments won, not one—off games. the thing we're in control of is the future and everything that happens in front of us, we can't change history, what's drawn is gone, so we want to write our own bit of history. we want to create memories on and off the field. and that's something we're enjoying, we've enjoyed making these memories, we've enjoyed each other's company, that's allowing us to go out and express ourselves. wales know what they're up against. they felt the full force of the scottish revival last autumn. some might still have the bruises. a few welshmen sacrificed their bodies to beat ireland last weekend. 0ne game in, and the injury list is already long, but there's no time to dwell on that. a six—day turnaround after a game like ireland, which was always going to be physical, we sort of know that this is going to be a big game in this particular six nations for us. so, look, you know, the guys know they're going to have a tough day

on a hillside overlooking false bay, shark spotters are keeping a close watch on the waves. after all, this coastline near cape town has long been home to hundreds, if not thousands, of the world's most famous predators. until now. south africa's great white sharks — the stuff of nightmares and of nature documentaries — have gone mysteriously missing. wherever you go, if you put your feet into the water, you expect to encounter a white shark. but that's not the case no more. i don't even remember the last i've seen a shark. none at all? none at all. no white sharks in false bay. it is two years now since they vanished, and the economic impact has been devastating. the great white tourism industry has collapsed. unfortunately, we are suffering a lot. it is very, very difficult times. for the whole town.

the whole town, yes. the whole industry. yes. it is really, really sad. we miss these sharks a lot. but why did they disappear? this amateur footage shows the arrival of two suspects — a pair of orcas, killer whales. could they have scared off all of those great whites? for us, the arrival of these orcas and then the reduction in shark activity does all seem to be correlated. it appears that the orcas arrive and the sharks just are aware they are no longer the apex predator anymore. but here's another theory — local fishermen have been catching smaller sharks to export to fish and chip shops in australia. those sharks formed part of the great white's diet. this quite simply meant that the bulk of their food was no longer available in false bay, so logic tells you if yourfood is not available here, you go look elsewhere, and that is what a lot of us believe is what's actually happened.

but other shark detectives see a more complicated crime scene. doctor sara andreotti used to study the great whites here. now she's using a harpoon to scrape dna from smaller species. now we have to collect this very carefully. her view is that the great white population has been shrinking unnoticed for many years because of climate change, pollution, overfishing — a range of human activities. it is not for us just frustrating, it's the feeling that that happened under our watch, you know? we saw the sharks, we saw the numbers were not great and the work we did was not enough to get them the environment, make it protected in a way, or maybe it was just too late. her conclusion is that the great whites did not move

elsewhere, they simply died out, their turf taken over by these copper sharks. plenty of beautiful sharks down here but no great whites, none at all, and so many theories about why they may have disappeared but the real fear is that they may have gone for good. perhaps, but nothing in this great white mystery is certain — except the knowledge that we humans are, as usual, prime suspects. andrew harding, bbc news, south africa. see, they may be scary, but they are stunning. see, they may be scary, but they are stunninr. ., , ., , ., stunning. yeah, they are beautiful. smart, brilliant _ stunning. yeah, they are beautiful. smart, brilliant creatures _ stunning. yeah, they are beautiful. smart, brilliant creatures and - stunning. yeah, they are beautiful. smart, brilliant creatures and we i smart, brilliant creatures and we have to take responsibility for what we do. i can see sarah has been watching that as well. i saw you looking at that. we have such a massive responsibility, don't we? we

talk about them all the time. i'm not preaching to anyone, you can be scared of sharks by all means, but the beauty and the brilliance of them, one of the oldest creatures on this earth, you've got to appreciate it. they are just stunning, and they got a lot more to worry about us humans that we have to worry about them. indeed. you are taking a look at some easing. how long has this cold snap been going on. it feels like it has been going on for ages. certainly since the change of months, it is february 13 now, a real beast from the east. things are changing, we are going to be stepping out of the freezer, but still, fairly unsettled weather on the cards as we go through the next week or so. the snow and ice still with us, very much out there today, lots of lying snow around. this is the beautiful picture, stunning sunrise this morning, as we go through the course of the week and things will be turning milder, but only slowly. by the end of tomorrow, we will be enough mild air and you

will notice wind picking up as well. strong, gusty, southerly winds out there. heavy snow being produced in there. heavy snow being produced in the early morning across parts of northern ireland, 5—10 centimetres of snow here. effort, when you make dinner every night, it's hard to make it special? northern ireland, 5—10 centimetres of snow here. western parts of scotland, perhaps the odd lorry into the north—west of england. about 2— five centimetres across the region. a bit of sunshine holding on in the south—east but really strong winds. when you add on the strong gusts of wind. when you add on the windchill, it's going to feel closer to —10 degrees. and less in the way of sunshine in the east. the cloud is moving its way through the course of the day. cloudy skies producing some

wintry nurse. icy conditions once again. temperatures won't fall quite as low as recent nights but still down below freezing first thing sunday. the minus double digits we've seen lately. it bumps into high pressure. mild air will make its way eastwards but it's going to take its time through the course of sunday. temperatures up above freezing by eight o'clock tomorrow morning. still freezing in the east. we will see rain arriving. it will fall on those really cold surfaces. rain working west to east, 60—70 miles per hour gusts. slowly turning milder. as we head through the course of next week. you gotta be

resurgent scotland hope to build on their famous win at twickenham, in the big six nations match today, but wales have a winning start of their own to build on. another very cold morning with further snow and ice in places. wendy through the weekend and milder by tomorrow. good morning. there is a final push this morning to vaccinate anyone who is eligible but has not yet come forward for a jab. it's less than ten weeks since margaret keenan became the first person to have a covid vaccine outside of clinical trials in the uk. it was the start of the biggest vaccination programme in nhs history.

then in mosques and museums, stadiums and pharmacies, more than 1500 centres across the uk, over 1a million people have had a first dose of the covid vaccine. the government target was to offer that first dose to about 15 million people by the 15th of february. those in the top priority group include care home staff and residents, frontline health workers, anybody aged 70 or over, and people who are extremely clinically vulnerable. ministers expected that around three quarters of people who were offered the vaccine would accept it. the reality has been much higher, about 9 in 10 over—705. but there's still a final push, encouraging those who are yet to be vaccinated to come forward. we are totally focused on meeting the target of offering, by monday, everybody who is aged over 70 or a health or social care worker, or who is clinically

extremely vulnerable, offering them all the jab. and if you are in one of those groups, what i would say is, please come forward if you haven't already got an appointment to be jabbed, because the more people who get this jab, the safer everybody is. thejob is farfrom over, though. now, as well as giving second booster injections, the focus turns to over—505. the aim is to offer a first dose of vaccine to them by may and all adults by september. the government and the nhs will work with local authorities, charities, and faith leaders to achieve this. catherine burns, bbc news. nick eardley is here. 0ptimism i think is the mood of the health secretary this morning. for think is the mood of the health secretary this morning.- think is the mood of the health secretary this morning. for a couple of reasons. — secretary this morning. for a couple of reasons, the _ secretary this morning. for a couple of reasons, the vaccination - of reasons, the vaccination programme as katherine said seems to be going really well. the target is

likely to be matte of everyone over 70 being vaccinated this weekend and then moves on to the other 50s and ministers think that is going pretty well. yet i think matt hancock was talking about in an interview with the telegraph this morning is better treatment for coronavirus and the government is announcing it will fast—track some new drugs when they become available to make sure people who do still get ill are treated the best way possible. it means that ministers are talking about potentially by the end of this year coronavirus being a lot more manageable and more like the flu, something that is still there but there is treatment for it and the nhs can cope with it. inevitably that means there are questions over when society starts to open up, when lockdown could be lifted. number ten is not getting into specifics but we know the prime minister is going to set that outlet couple of weeks, the

first thing to come back in england will be schools. lots of speculation about outdoor hospitality and things like tabs potentially come in a few weeks later. we will get more details and a couple of weeks. while thousands of testing kits have not been returned from a test area in bristol. residents living in 2a bristol and south gloucestershire has codes have been encouraged to get those tests and returned the home kits as quickly as possible. senators in the us are expected to deliver a verdict on the impeachment trial of donald trump later today for the lawyers representing the former president said he used routine political rhetoric when telling supporters to fight like hell shortly before a mob stormed

the capital injanuary hell shortly before a mob stormed the capital in january for the damage cracks safely he incited interaction and they want him barred from holding office in future. the government says they are confident as post—praxis wet scenario involving thousands of lorries being stuck in kent has been avoided. the assessment is based on data sent the flow of lorries has returned to normal this month but there's also been a rise in the number of empty lorries going back to the eu. the government is getting rid of a cap of £95,000 on public sector redundancy payments after unions argued that the measure would affect workers earning as little as £25,000 a year. ministers say they're looking for new ways to tackle excessive payouts for earners. thank you forjoining us. sarah will have all the weatherfor the you forjoining us. sarah will have all the weather for the next few days and mike has a busy weekend of sport to come. he is very excited

about the rugby! let's go back to our top story now, and anybody who's eligible for a vaccine, but hasn't yet had a jab, is being urged to come forward this weekend, in a renewed drive to roll out the vaccine to those most at—risk as quickly as possible. the government is aiming to have offered a vaccine to 15 million people in these priority groups by monday. this is the plan announced before christmas. more than 1a—million of the most vulnerable people in the uk have already received their first dose. that includes about nine in ten of all over—705, according to the department of health. the most recent daily figures show that more than half—a—million people received their first dose on thursday alone. professor adam finn sits on thejoint committee 0n vaccination and immunisation and joins us now. good morning. just your observations in general. there are nine points in

the first phase, and the first four groups have been targeted. how do you feel about the roll—out of this vaccine and hitting those in the top four groups? it vaccine and hitting those in the top four groups?— vaccine and hitting those in the top four groups? it seems to have gone really well- — four groups? it seems to have gone really well- i — four groups? it seems to have gone really well. i think _ four groups? it seems to have gone really well. i think we _ four groups? it seems to have gone really well. i think we all _ four groups? it seems to have gone really well. i think we all went - really well. i think we all went into this with some sense of uncertainty. we did not really know exactly how good the supply lines of the vaccine would be and did not really know how easily and effectively the nhs could set up the delivery programme and did not really know how willing people would be to come forward and receive the vaccine. all of those things seem to have gone really to plan so it has been really rewarding to see how quickly and effectively it has been done. ., ., .,, ., ., done. you mentioned those who have not taken up — done. you mentioned those who have not taken up the _ done. you mentioned those who have not taken up the vaccine _ done. you mentioned those who have not taken up the vaccine yet - done. you mentioned those who have not taken up the vaccine yet and - not taken up the vaccine yet and even though i think matt hancock said he expected 75% take—up and it is up to 90% so he is very positive and heightened by that but there are

still those who are unwilling. what is the next push in persuading those people or some of them to take up the vaccine? i people or some of them to take up the vaccine?— people or some of them to take up the vaccine? i think people who are firmly anti-vaccine _ the vaccine? i think people who are firmly anti-vaccine will _ the vaccine? i think people who are firmly anti-vaccine will not - the vaccine? i think people who are firmly anti-vaccine will not receive l firmly anti—vaccine will not receive the vaccine. my experience of talking to people but this perspective is that they are both fixed and firm in their views but i think they are a small minority and i think many of those who have not yet received the vaccine are either people who are what you might call hesitant and wanting to see if it really is a safe and effective and there waiting for more evidence for that or essentially for practical reasons have not managed to do it. and just need to be encouraged that little bit more. i think a lot of people who receive the vaccine do it simply by looking sideways and seeing everyone else is doing it and concluding it is the right thing to do. so possibly quite a proportion of those who have not yet received the vaccine will be willing to come

forward and receive it now that they can see it is going well and there are no problems. so i'm optimistic that we can get the figure up even further and i really hope people will come forward and get the protection that this offers. this will come forward and get the protection that this offers. as part ofthe protection that this offers. as part of the jcvi protection that this offers. as part of the jcv! you _ protection that this offers. as part of the jcvi you will _ protection that this offers. as part of the jcvi you will be _ protection that this offers. as part of the jcvi you will be aware - protection that this offers. as part of the jcvi you will be aware that i of thejcvi you will be aware that people are clamouring for information as to what happens after the first nine groups have been targeted and reached for vaccinations and we have been told i think by april up to group nine will be addressed, will be offered the vaccine. that is the timeline at the moment, not concrete yet but it is the timeline and you will be aware that people are wanting to know what happens next. who are you talking to now and what is being discussed in terms of who is next? i'm thinking front line workers, teachers, etc. those discussions are ongoing as you say and no conclusion has been reached but we have been clearly told we need to reach them and

provide some advice very soon. i think there are two sides to this which drive the plan if you like. one is looking really carefully at continuing to see who those most likely to get ill with the virus is and trying to make sure that those other people who get the vaccine in the same way as we have done with the same way as we have done with the first phase. the other important consideration throughout is making this operationally possible. if you make it too complicated or you identify groups of people that simply cannot be identified and contacted that makes it very difficult for the nhs to actually operationalise the programme and make it work quickly and efficiently and come pensively. so those of the broad considerations. of course there comes a point where it becomes more of a political process than a health driven one and that will not be in the hands of thejcvi, we will simply provide information on what

they think is operationally possible and who those people are that we need to prioritise. in terms of the statistics and epidemiology that tells us who the people i most likely to get sick.— tells us who the people i most likely to get sick. you say you have been pushed _ likely to get sick. you say you have been pushed to _ likely to get sick. you say you have been pushed to provide _ likely to get sick. you say you have been pushed to provide advice - likely to get sick. you say you havej been pushed to provide advice very soon and the government has made clear it is following the scientific advice and you give the scientific advice. thejob advice and you give the scientific advice. the job stops though doesn't it in terms of whether you have to be involved politically. the it in terms of whether you have to be involved politically.— be involved politically. the way it works is that _ be involved politically. the way it works is that the _ be involved politically. the way it works is that the jcvi _ be involved politically. the way it works is that the jcvi offer - be involved politically. the way itj works is that the jcvi offer advice works is that thejcvi offer advice and generally speaking the government does follow that but ultimately it is a political process making policy decisions so we do not actually decide anything but we do provide recommendations of what should be done. and so far the government have followed those. i think it becomes less clear as we move along whether that continues to be the case but my sense is the government is very interested and

willing to the advice that we offer. i know you're coming to us from bristol and that is one the areas where there has been search testing for a variant that appears to be more transmissible. you will also have heard reports today that many people who receive those tests when people who receive those tests when people went door—to—door asking them to be tested have not returned them. you have any thoughts as to why that may have happened? i’m you have any thoughts as to why that may have happened?— may have happened? i'm not really sure why that _ may have happened? i'm not really sure why that happened. _ may have happened? i'm not really sure why that happened. just - may have happened? i'm not really sure why that happened. just to i may have happened? i'm not really sure why that happened. just to be | sure why that happened. just to be clear what we've seen in bristol is a small number of cases of people who have the same variant first detected in the south east of england but additionally it has a mutation that does not make it more transmissible but potentially could make it more able to escape the immunity induced by vaccination. that is the reason we are concerned about that and of course that would ultimately result in more transmission once we have a lot of people immunised. i'm not sure why

the testing has not all be done come pensively, it could just be a logistical thing that people do not work out how to do it but there may be other reasons why people choose not to post their test in and people could be concerned it may result in them not being able to go to work or whatever. but i do not really know the answer. whatever. but i do not really know the answer-— whatever. but i do not really know the answer. ., ., , ., ., ., the answer. you have in your head at a time when — the answer. you have in your head at a time when we _ the answer. you have in your head at a time when we may _ the answer. you have in your head at a time when we may get _ the answer. you have in your head at a time when we may get back - the answer. you have in your head at a time when we may get back to - the answer. you have in your head at. a time when we may get back to some of normality?— of normality? yes, i think and i certainly hope _ of normality? yes, i think and i certainly hope this _ of normality? yes, i think and i certainly hope this will- of normality? yes, i think and i certainly hope this will be - of normality? yes, i think and i certainly hope this will be a - certainly hope this will be a progressive thing. to be quite honest personally i do not think i will ever quite go back to where i was 18 months ago because i've learned such a lot about the transmission of infection and all the other infections in fact that we have not been having as a result of this distancing. i wonder whether we really will not change in some permanent way some of the aspects of the ways we behave. but i do hope

that we can normalise things steadily, carefully and progressively to avoid another wave or a series of waves of this epidemic. because i think that is much more disruptive and it would be much more disruptive and it would be much better if we could normalise carefully and slowly and progressively. carefully and slowly and arroressivel. ., ~ ., progressively. professor adam finn, from the jcvi. _ progressively. professor adam finn, from the jcvi, thank _ progressively. professor adam finn, from the jcvi, thank you _ progressively. professor adam finn, from the jcvi, thank you very - progressively. professor adam finn, from the jcvi, thank you very much. j from thejcvi, thank you very much. 0n the question of vaccines we wanted to ask why people in some priority groups i still unwilling or unable to take up the vaccine. dr farzana hussain, is a gp and clinical director for a primary care network in east london. good morning. what kind of take—up are you seeing in your surgery? goad are you seeing in your surgery? good morninr. i are you seeing in your surgery? good morning- i am _ are you seeing in your surgery? good morning- i am in _

are you seeing in your surgery? good morning. i am in east _ are you seeing in your surgery? (limp. morning. i am in east london and we know we had one of the highest covid death rates in the country here sadly so i run a list of 5000, that is a kind of smallish sized practice. and i'm seeing that it is great that we have really high figures for the vaccine. in my area we are 7a% bame and i'm saying amongst my patients and 50% uptake. i have drilled down to try to look at the ethnicity of the patients that are not coming forward for their vaccines. that are not coming forward for theirvaccines. i'm that are not coming forward for their vaccines. i'm fortunate to have been at the practice for 18 years and i feel very much have been at the practice for 18 years and ifeel very much part have been at the practice for 18 years and i feel very much part of the community and their family doctor but by and large it is people from the bame communities who have not come forward and i'm quite concerned that it is only about 50% uptake at the moment. that concerned that it is only about 50% uptake at the moment.— concerned that it is only about 50% uptake at the moment. that is a big

difference when _ uptake at the moment. that is a big difference when talking _ uptake at the moment. that is a big difference when talking about - uptake at the moment. that is a big difference when talking about 90, i difference when talking about 90, 95% acceptance in some other areas. why do you think it is, what if you discovered going into the data? it is a huge issue. i know not all gps will have this, i have under 200 people in the first four cohorts so i have taken it upon myself as a british bangladeshi myself, i've seen people very sick with covid especially in the second surge and what i'm seeing when i call them it is quite rare actually, there is actually very small number people who are absolutely sure they do not want the vaccine. the other majority of people, there is a lot of watch and wait, it is a new vaccine and

people i'm not sure it is safe. and the thing that bothers me quite a lot is this huge amount of misinformation, i don't know where it is coming from, but patients are sending things that they are getting on social media about women becoming infertile, about changing the dna. and quite a lot of general mistrust in the health care system. so different factors and i guess we need to remember that the bame community is not homogenous either. we'll talk about different communities. why am in newham we have 200 languages, eastern european people, black africans, black caribbean is, bangladeshi, pakistani. i'm very concerned that are already seeing particularly women having a lower uptake than men particularly in the bame community. i'm fascinated by this idea of your

personally as their gp up the phone and trying to explain to people. what kind of success are you having when you present the arguments and get the correct information, are you able to persuade many people? it is under a 2096 — able to persuade many people? it 3 under a 20% success rate at the moment but of course one of the great things about general practice and i have also a row at the nhs confederation, we are talking about our nurses as well and we are trusted in the community and for me it is about listening to what fears are. we have a lot of national public campaigns and people do not like to be told what to do so it is important to me to listen to what these concerns are and then give people the facts. this these concerns are and then give people the facts.— people the facts. this cell if four out of five _ people the facts. this cell if four out of five people _ people the facts. this cell if four out of five people that _ people the facts. this cell if four out of five people that you - people the facts. this cell if four out of five people that you call. out of five people that you call still do not want to come in for a vaccine, what do you think could

reach them and could persuade them? is there anything government could do, celebrities could do, the media could do to try to get across this message? i could do to try to get across this messa . e? .. , could do to try to get across this message?— message? i think it is about all levels, message? i think it is about all levels. local— message? i think it is about all levels, local levels, _ message? i think it is about all levels, local levels, gps- message? i think it is about all levels, local levels, gps but. message? i think it is about all i levels, local levels, gps but also consistent messaging and listening as well as giving out the messaging, listening to what the viewers are and addressing those. a lot is already happening butjust already happening but just consistent already happening butjust consistent messaging that we have this fantastic vaccine that will save lives and we do not have anything else to save lives at the moment. ., .. anything else to save lives at the moment. ., ~ , ., anything else to save lives at the moment. ., ~' , ., , anything else to save lives at the moment. ., ~ , ., , . ,, moment. thank you very much. still doind it moment. thank you very much. still doing it with — moment. thank you very much. still doing it with a _ moment. thank you very much. still doing it with a smile! _ here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. i love the sun rise and it seems that the skies have been so much more dramatic.

this is north yorkshire but many of us have been waking up to a beautiful sunrise this morning partly because we have a weather front moving in from the west bringing different heights of cloud which often produces a spectacular sunrise. heading through the weekend it is a weekend of transition. eventually we are waving goodbye to the snow and the ice. things turning milder and it will be windy as well so you will notice that wind—chill to today and tomorrow. today a weather front moving in from the west producing some heavy snow especially across northern ireland this morning. some tricky travel conditions across northern ireland and this band of rain will also affect parts of the south west of england and wales. further east you are likely to stay dry through the day but wherever you are it is going to be windy, around a0, 50 miles an

hourfor some so adding to be windy, around a0, 50 miles an hour for some so adding on the strong winds and temperatures like this that wind—chill is going to make it feel much colder. do right up make it feel much colder. do right up to date because it is going to feel like —7, minus eight degrees for many. still some sunshine across parts of england and scotland. but more cloud working in from the west today and tonight we keep all that cloud. still some light snow for the north of england and scotland. most of us are largely dry and not quite as cold as it has been in recent bytes. tomorrow an active weather front moving in from the west. very windy day but high—pressure setting to the east so that is stopping at low pressure moving through too quickly. so the milder air moving across the uk but only very gradually. so sunday morning temperature still below freezing

across parts of eastern scotland and eastern england in particular. rain moving in and falling on these very cold surfaces so i think ice will be a problem tomorrow especially for parts of northern england and into scotland. things turn milder with the rain moving in and a strong gusty wind, 60, 70 miles an the rain moving in and a strong gusty wind, 60,70 miles an hour in the north and west. turning milder from the west and unsettled but milder weather rain at times as we move through next week. thank you very much. millions of people have been bereaved since the start of the pandemic. not only because of covid but other illnesses as well. and behind the statistics every death has been devastating for those mourning their loved ones. the end of life charity marie curie, is calling for a national day

of reflection next month — the actor alison steadman is one of the many people supporting the campaign — she joins us now with matthew reed, chief executive of marie curie. good morning. alison, tell us why this is so close to your heart? i have a friend whose brother was in hospital at the beginning of covid and he had an underlying health condition but he was being sent out of hospital and the day he was being sent out he had symptoms and they tested him and he had coronavirus. and he actually died three days later. this was a terrible shock as you can imagine. they could not have a properfuneral, they could not grieve properly and i think even now almost a year later they are still hurting from this terrible thing.

but they could not have a funeral and share their grief. so this has happened and estimated over 3 million people have lost family, friends, to covid and have not been able to share their grief together or have a proper funeral. able to share their grief together or have a properfuneral. they able to share their grief together or have a proper funeral. they had not been able to hug each other. and so i think this day is really important. so i think this day is really important-— so i think this day is really im-ortant. ., , , ., important. matthew, to pick up on what alison _ important. matthew, to pick up on what alison said _ important. matthew, to pick up on what alison said i _ important. matthew, to pick up on what alison said i think _ important. matthew, to pick up on what alison said i think we - important. matthew, to pick up on what alison said i think we were i what alison said i think we were just talking to our team members and everyone is going through something and something very painful and i think alison surmised it, it is this hurt that does not go away and almost cannot be processed. what would it daily, marking a day, the 23rd of march as ping suggested, what would that bring? == 23rd of march as ping suggested, what would that bring?— 23rd of march as ping suggested, what would that bring? -- has been

situation we have never experienced before. this is unique. we are going to a really dark time and we all need to help each other if we can. and alison, you know it is anger as well because the situation, it may not be, it is the fault of the virus and people who have lost cannot physically touch or hold the hands of those who are struggling or who are passing and a friend just from your experience, i think we're all being a lot more open i think how we're feeling. just as a friend how do you help someone who perhaps does not feel it is ok to be angry or feel it is ok to keep talking about something that happened so long ago? how can you help? i think you have got to talk. i just how can you help? i think you have got to talk. ijust remember when i lost my parents and i was so upset. the thing that helped me was to have

a hug with my sisters or with a close friend and just share that grief. this is what we cannot do at the moment, we cannot have a chat and share that grief so we have got to talk. just say look, you can ring me any time and we can chat and just to try and share this. it is not just covid, people have lost people as would normally happen, losing friends and family. and you cannot have a funeral. you can talk but you cannot hold hands and hugged each other any more so ijust think it is something that we need to do. matthew, that is an interesting point about people who have died for other reasons in the past year. it seems when ever we hear about

someone who has passed people ask what it covid so do think it is the case that may be other reasons for dying are kind of being forgotten that those people need to express and explain and share as well? i think that's right, the experience of grief— i think that's right, the experience of grief is — i think that's right, the experience of grief is deep and painful whatever reason they've died. even within _ whatever reason they've died. even within an _ whatever reason they've died. even within an individual family, alison talked _ within an individual family, alison talked about some of the emotions of anger— talked about some of the emotions of anger that _ talked about some of the emotions of anger that are often experienced with grief, but there are other emotions _ with grief, but there are other emotions as well so by trying to acknowledge the very deeply individual experiences of grief as we have — individual experiences of grief as we have as individuals and the commonality of what that means, whether _ commonality of what that means, whether people have died of covid or any other— whether people have died of covid or any other conditions, recognising the commonality of that could be powerful. — the commonality of that could be powerful, and we've been talking about _ powerful, and we've been talking about this — powerful, and we've been talking about this and lots of organisations are coming — about this and lots of organisations are coming on board with the idea and i_

shy away from it but we will talk about it. ., , j~ about it. the time now is 8:31am. senior ministers _ about it. the time now is 8:31am. senior ministers will— about it. the time now is 8:31am. senior ministers will be _ about it. the time now is 8:31am. senior ministers will be visiting i senior ministers will be visiting vaccination sites today in what they are calling a final push to try to get everyone eligible to be inoculated. the government set a target of vaccinating 15 million of the most vulnerable people by monday. those in the top priority groups include care home staff and residents, front line health workers, anyone aged 70 or over and people who are clinically extremely vulnerable. the health secretary matt hancock has said inoculations and treatments will turn covid—19 into a disease that we can live with, like flu, he says, by the end of this year. in an interview with the daily telegraph he says he hopes every adult in the uk would have been offered a vaccine by september. across the uk, a quarter of adults have received one dose of the vaccine, including 90%

this weekend in terms of the six nations, they will be playing in the cold! hot in terms of action but cold in terms of conditions! but we will ramp up all the excitement now ahead of the big match. scotland and wales face each other this afternoon in the six nations, live here on bbc one, with both sides still in the hunt for a grand slam. albeit early days in the competition! scotland beat england last weekend for their first win at twickenham since 1983, while the welsh opened their tournament with a battling win over ireland. let's see how both nations are feeling and speak to the former scotland captain andy nicol, and two time, six nations grand slam winner with wales, tom shanklin. morning chaps. andy, what's the mood been like there? how much the whole nation has been buzzing! how much the whole nation has been buzzind! , ' . , buzzing! hugely. in difficult times like this, buzzing! hugely. in difficult times like this. sport — buzzing! hugely. in difficult times like this, sport can _ buzzing! hugely. in difficult times like this, sport can lift _ buzzing! hugely. in difficult times like this, sport can lift a - buzzing! hugely. in difficult times like this, sport can lift a nation i like this, sport can lift a nation and the rugby team did that last saturday, no doubt. there is a real sense of excitement this week

building up to today's game just to see if scotland can repeat what they did last week in performance, can they replicate what was a very good performance, can they back it up today and get a win against wales. scotland have never won theirfirst two games of the six nations! so we are in new territory potentially today. are in new territory potentially toda . , ., ., ., are in new territory potentially toda. ., ., , are in new territory potentially toda. today. there is a lot of stats but today. there is a lot of stats but to be fair to _ today. there is a lot of stats but to be fair to scotland _ today. there is a lot of stats but | to be fair to scotland momentum today. there is a lot of stats but - to be fair to scotland momentum has been building gradually, rewriting different bits of history but the big danger is the big word expectation of hopes getting carried away. b. expectation of hopes getting carried awa . �* , , away. a little bit but if the wind last week against _ away. a little bit but if the wind last week against england - away. a little bit but if the wind last week against england was. away. a little bit but if the wind - last week against england was three moments of magic for finn russell and could you repeat that, it wasn't that. it was based on really solid foundations, good set pieces, varied attack and a solid defence. these are the things that we haven't seen for scotland in the last number of years come together so it was really pleasing which is why i think we can see a repeat of that this week. it'll be tough because wales are a

great side. they have no expectation, it's almost a free kick for them so scotland have to deal with expectation which is, again, something new for them to deal with. tom, let's give you a chance to burst the scotland bubble! it has been a different story for wales over the last year in terms of form and momentum under the new coach, fifth last season. at times against ireland, the country showed grit to battle to victory and it's perfect to burst that scotland bubble. yes. to burst that scotland bubble. yes, the did. to burst that scotland bubble. yes, they did. wales _ to burst that scotland bubble. yes, they did. wales have _ to burst that scotland bubble. yes, they did. wales have been lacking a bit of— they did. wales have been lacking a bit of form — they did. wales have been lacking a bit of form and wayne pivac is trying — bit of form and wayne pivac is trying to— bit of form and wayne pivac is trying to play a different way to warren — trying to play a different way to warren gatland. the pleasing thing was that— warren gatland. the pleasing thing was that wales took their chances, they had _ was that wales took their chances, they had two chances, george north finished _ they had two chances, george north finished off pretty well. i am worried _ finished off pretty well. i am worried we are missing our best player— worried we are missing our best player in— worried we are missing our best player in george north who is injured — player in george north who is injured. look, as andy said, the

good place. but this will be a tough game. wales, you know, they are coming in under the radar. that makes them very, very dangerous. these games are usually good games, there have been some fantastic games over the years. it is very cold here with a lot of snow, but i think the game will be a good one. both teams will play a cracker. it game will be a good one. both teams will play a cracker.— will play a cracker. it mention the conditions- _ will play a cracker. it mention the conditions. it'll— will play a cracker. it mention the conditions. it'll be _ will play a cracker. it mention the conditions. it'll be below- will play a cracker. it mention the conditions. it'll be below freezingj conditions. it'll be below freezing this afternoon. what sort of impact can that have? i this afternoon. what sort of impact can that have?— can that have? i mean, once the rla ers can that have? i mean, once the players are _ can that have? i mean, once the players are out _ can that have? i mean, once the players are out there, _ can that have? i mean, once the players are out there, it - can that have? i mean, once the players are out there, it won't i players are out there, it won't impact them, it'll be good conditions to play. for us may be in the commentary position, it might be a bit cold and there are no fans which is a big factor because murrayfield has become a bit of a fortress in the last few years, taken away with no crowd. i don't think the temperature will have an impact on the players but it'll be very cold! impact on the players but it'll be ve cold! ., , very cold! freezing for wingers! imadine very cold! freezing for wingers! imagine being _ very cold! freezing for wingers! imagine being a _ very cold! freezing for wingers! imagine being a winger - very cold! freezing for wingers! imagine being a winger out - very cold! freezing for wingers! i imagine being a winger out there

england got three wickets in what was a first session full of entertainment. captain virat kholi one of those to go but after lunch it's all been about the indian opener rohit sharma. he's been smacking it all over the ground in chennai and has passed his hundred. india are 17a for 3. britian's cameron norrie says rafa nadal isjust a human being, as he prepares to play the 20—time grand slam winner at the australian open. they're due on court in the next couple of hours in melbourne. 0n court right now is the favourite in the women's draw, top seed ashley barty. the australian is playing russia's alexandra over but ash body has no support behind her because melbourne is on lockdown. her opponent has started well and is on serve in the first set. premier league champions liverpool are in action in the early kick off today, they play leicester — and they could really do with a win. they've lost their last two, and are way off leaders manchester city. let's speak to dan who's back with football focus

match as manchester city taking on tottenham. manchester city, if you haven't had a look at the premier league in recent weeks, they are flying. they are 15 straight wins, five points clear at the top with a game in hand and in those 15 games, they've scored a0 goals and conceded only five so they have found the form of champions. mike will be interested in arsenal against leeds, we have luke ayling on the programme, he spent ten years on the books are arsenal and now he has been a regular starter for leeds this season. paddy mcguinness is doing our fa cup round—up this week which should be fun. we have swansea gloucester manchester city in the fa cup this week but one of their strikers jamaal low, we have been to see him, talking about their season, they are playing well in the championship, hoping to get into the

premier league. as part of lgbt history month, we have a lovely piece on stonewall fc as well. alex scott, martin keown in the studio from a day, loads to pack in. goodness me, how will you fit it in! that is the challenge. look forward to it. we have a sneaky preview of the weather committee report on crossing over from sheffield, the weather committee report on crossing overfrom sheffield, minus seven this morning. those cold wingers this afternoon in edinburgh. that is the wind chill factor. that's it, scarf on... mittens! i had mittens on yesterday when i went out on the walk. the had mittens on yesterday when i went out on the walk.— out on the walk. the ones with no finders out on the walk. the ones with no fingers just _ out on the walk. the ones with no fingersjust thumbs? _ out on the walk. the ones with no fingersjust thumbs? i've - out on the walk. the ones with no fingersjust thumbs? i've never i out on the walk. the ones with no i fingersjust thumbs? i've never had a pair! fingers 'ust thumbs? i've never had a air! , ., ., , ., a pair! yes, leather gloves and mittens. a pair! yes, leather gloves and mittens- i've — a pair! yes, leather gloves and mittens. i've never— a pair! yes, leather gloves and mittens. i've never had - a pair! yes, leather gloves and i mittens. i've never had mittens! you're going _ mittens. i've never had mittens! you're going to _ mittens. i've never had mittens! you're going to be _ mittens. i've never had mittens! you're going to be inundated - mittens. i've never had mittens! i you're going to be inundated with mittens now! mitten debate over. sarah, how is it going? yes, you need the mittens. i've been wearing my mittens over

the last week or so. full gear every time i've left the house. will be one of the last days you'll be getting out their sledging today if you have the snow with you because things are gradually turning milder as we head through the weekend but only very gradually. still a lot of snow and ice around this morning, temperatures sub zero, with the scene in maidstone in kent and although things are turning milder gradually particular by tomorrow, you'll notice de wind is a real wind chill, brisk winds today and tomorrow as well. a weather front moves on from the rest bringing some snow across parts of northern ireland, western fringes of britain also seeing rain on the coast but snow inland with 5—10 centimetres across parts of northern ireland so some very tricky travel conditions this morning. that's never pushing on across parts of england, wales, western scotland, perhaps into the north—west of england, with a little bit of rain to the south—west. some

hazy sunshine, the cloud building but look at the gust of wind, a0—50 miles an hour, physically windy across high ground and exposed coasts. temperatures on the thermometer only a degree or two above freezing but add on the wind—chill, this is what it'll feel like, minus seven or minus eight for some of us today. so it is a day for the mittens, scarves, as well. some sunshine in the east but in the evening the cloud moves across the uk with patches snow for northern england and scotland in particular so some icy stretches to start your sunday morning although overnight temperatures will not be as low tonight as they have been over recent nights, still going down a little bit below freezing for many of us. through the day tomorrow, quite an active weather front heading in from the west, lots of isobars on the map but bumping into milder air which doesn't move in a hurry, eventually making its way across all parts of the uk but it will be a wind day with the arrival

of the warm air. temperatures creeping up above freezing sunday morning but surfaces still down below freezing and as the rain falls on those cold surfaces we will see some ice particularly in northern england and scotland tomorrow. a cloudy, windy day tomorrow wherever you are, gust of 60—70 miles an hour through the irish sea up the western isles. cloudy, outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards, staying dry in east anglia and the south—east with temperatures for degrees in norwich, contrasting with 12 degrees in belfast. heading through next week, we will be back in those double figures and it is looking quite unsettled so we are swapping the snow for some rain and it is falling on saturated ground so they could be some problems with localised flooding into next week. you give with one hand and you take with the other. it is coming up to 8:50am. we've all

looked online for tips to help us through the pandemic. 0ne support group, set up forfamilies, has grown so big it has more than a million members from 120 countries. the facebook group was set up last march by history teacher and mum claire balkind from her home in north london. phil mackie has been finding out why it's so popular. and it was really, it was really here at my kitchen table, i was sitting here before i went to go and pick one of my kids up from school, and ijust thought, i'll make a group. this is claire balkind. a year ago, as the pandemic began to impact everybody�*s lives, she decided to set up the family lockdown tips and ideas group on facebook. i think what i was feeling, my concerns about looking after my kids at home in a lockdown, was probably echoed by lots of otherfamilies. so, yeah, theyjoined our community. it really took off. after a few days she had 500 members. within a week, 100,000. and afterjust over a month they'd hit a million.

you know what, one of my biggest worries about the group was that it would be another place for a bun fight, and somehow the internet can attract that. it's like a village fair. you always want to support the people in your village, you want to support the people that are coming to, you know, set their table up and show you what they've got. and the ukulele. we hope you enjoy. # here's to the ones that we got... people have shared all kinds of things, from performances like this to tips on decorative artwork and even how to build a caravan out of discarded cardboard boxes. hello, and welcome to this week's i episode of the worst girl gang ever, it'sjust me and laura i again today, no guests. unlucky, guys, sorry! and this is one of the group's many successful spin—offs. bex gunn posted about her miscarriage. laura buckingham was one of the thousands who got in touch, and the pair launched a podcast for women who've been through the same experience. when we started out,

we thought to ourselves, we just want to help one woman feel less alone through this, through this heartbreaking, horrible time. and it's gone, so we started, we released our first podcast injuly, and we'vejust had, just under 30,000 downloads. this wouldn't have happened without the facebook site? no, it wouldn't have done, because itjust gave us a platform, an incredible platform. if you write a message on there, you put a proper post on, within minutes there are a few comments of support. within hours there's a big long thread of people offering advice, suggestions, or even just saying, yeah, that happened to me too, i'm sorry that you're going through that. it's amazing, to be able to support strangers. and it makes you feel good about yourself as well. despite offers of money from advertisers and potential sponsors, the group is still run by volunteers led by claire, who also has a part—time teaching job and homeschooling to think of. it gets me out of bed, it keeps me motivated.

it's the reason i do it and it's the reason i really love it. so, yeah, it is busy, and there has been some wine consumed, but you know, ultimately it does make me really very happy indeed. that report from phil mackie. we'll continue talking about the way we are using technology to one another. simon thomas lost his wife four years ago and he has documented his journey through grief in books and blogs that have been read by over1 million people. his podcast, life, interrupted, now in its second series — sees him talk to different people, some famous, some not, about life's hardships and coming out on the other side. simonjoins us now. good morning and thank you for joining us. how are you doing at the moment? brute joining us. how are you doing at the moment? ~ ., joining us. how are you doing at the moment? . ., ., ., moment? we are doing all right, thanks. it moment? we are doing all right, thanks- it is _ moment? we are doing all right, thanks. it is a _ moment? we are doing all right, thanks. it is a tough _

of coping and inspiring stories of how people simply with human resilience are getting through. absolutely. we wanted it to be known and unknown people and notjust about grief. it was based on the book i'd written, we turned into life, interrupted to speak to people who have gone through something are changing. it can be hard at times to listen to but it is the story of hope that comes out with what they did next. my mind always goes back to one particular interview i did in the first series with a guy called duncan slater, who i know you know about will stop he was a sergeant in the raf and back injuly 2009 his truck hit a landmine out in afghanistan. duncan loses both legs. afghanistan. duncan loses both legs. a horrendous time, rehabilitation, going to some dark places like so many have to go through when they've been injured like he was. eventually he becomes the first man ever to ski to the south pole as a double

amputee, he's run the marathon, he is going back to do that again. you nearly completed the marathon first time, completes at the second time, and he completes it the third time, hopefully in the future. his life has been nothing but extraordinary. he has a wife and daughter beside him. it struck me that his life since that event seems to have been more joyous and fulfilled than ever so i said if you could go back to that day in 2009 and change the story of what happened, would you? and he didn't even pause for breath and hejust said no. which i thought was utterly incredible. i think this time we are living through, and ironically life, interrupted, we have all had our lives interrupted over the last 11 months, that is the story that should give us hope that whatever you're facing, however difficult, this last year has been, there is a way through and life can be joyous and fulfilled again. iotofhat be joyous and fulfilled again. what have ou be joyous and fulfilled again. what have you learnt _ be joyous and fulfilled again. what have you learnt about _ be joyous and fulfilled again. what have you learnt about yourself, in terms of human resilience? {lister

have you learnt about yourself, in terms of human resilience? over the vast 3.5 terms of human resilience? over the past 3-5 years _ terms of human resilience? over the past 3-5 years we — terms of human resilience? over the past 3.5 years i've learned _ terms of human resilience? over the past 3.5 years i've learned that - past 3.5 years i've learned that whatever you go through, however life changing and traumatic and painful it can be, that life is still there to embrace and there will be people watching this morning who are in a very bad place at the moment. this pandemic has been far too hard, they are lonely or struggling with grief of loved ones they haven't been able to say goodbye to. and you feel in those moments that the sun will never shine again, life will never be really good again. actually, my life is incredibly fulfilled and good again and i never believe that 3.5 years ago and through my own experience and through the experience and through the experience of listening to these people who have been on the pod cast and open up about some difficult stuff, the reality is, the truth is, notjust stuff, the reality is, the truth is, not just for stuff, the reality is, the truth is, notjust for me but stuff, the reality is, the truth is, not just for me but for countless others, there is always a way through, it might be very rocky but there is a way through to handle this again. i there is a way through to handle this adain. .., , there is a way through to handle this again-— there is a way through to handle this aain. , ., ., this again. i can see in reaction to the rod this again. i can see in reaction to the pod cast. _ this again. i can see in reaction to the pod cast, people _ this again. i can see in reaction to the pod cast, people are - this again. i can see in reaction to the pod cast, people are taking i the pod cast, people are taking strength and comfort from it but you

are equally taking comfort and strength from delivering it. absolutely. it is a realjoy. it is hard at times to listen to people open up about some really tough stuff but i think it is a real privilege you will sit down with people, and we can do face—to—face interviews. now it's over a microphone and laptop! i cast my mind back to blue peter, the band were riding high! behind their story and behind andrew's story is a woman who went through a painful loss of both parents while the band was so high in terms of success but also went through countless miscarriages. there has been a painful story behind her success. to listen to someone be honest and open about that, i count that has an incredible privilege so i get to the end of

them and feel inspired, strengthened, and it gives me a sense of perspective of where i am at in terms of my family, and what we are going through. it is hard work, it is tough but when you listen to a story like that, it puts into perspective and it gives you new strength and ultimately which is what the podcast is about, new hope. i was going to ask about home—schooling, as a former blue peter presenter, you must be perfectly prepared for this moment! i am not, perfectly prepared for this moment! iam not, i perfectly prepared for this moment! i am not, i am so not. i've enjoyed doing different things. we love making little videos together, he set up his little instagram account, ethan, which i run, during the first lockdown, which has been enjoyable. that is putting the blue peter creative skills back into practice but when it comes to maths... he is brilliant at that. i don't know about you but for lots of parents, my goodness me, google has been our friend, looking up things we would

and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. a final weekend push to vaccinate the most vulnerable as the government closes in on its target of 15 million jabs. if you are in one of those groups, what i would say is please come forward if you haven't already got an appointment for the jab because the more people who get this jab, the safer everybody is. the health secretary says he hopes, by the end of the year, covid will have become "another illness that we have to live with, like flu." former president donald trump is expected to be acquitted when senators vote on his second impeachment trial later today. good morning. india find their feet in the second test after england took early wickets on a fast and furious start in chennai. another very cold morning and we have further snow and ice in places. things turning through the weekend milder by tomorrow.

it's saturday february the 13th. our top story. senior ministers will visit coronavirus vaccination sites across england today in a "final push" to ensure everyone who is eligible gets inoculated. the government has set a target of vaccinating 15 million people by the end of this weekend. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. it's less than ten weeks since margaret keenan became the first person to have a covid vaccine outside of clinical trials in the uk. it was the start of the biggest vaccination programme in nhs history. then in mosques and museums, stadiums and pharmacies, more than 1500 centres across the uk, over 1a million people have had a first dose of the covid vaccine. the government target was to offer that first dose to about 15 million

people by the 15th of february. those in the top priority group include care home staff and residents, frontline health workers, anybody aged 70 or over, and people who are extremely clinically vulnerable. ministers expected that around three quarters of people who were offered the vaccine would accept it. the reality has been much higher, about 9 in 10 over—705. but there's still a final push, encouraging those who are yet to be vaccinated to come forward. we are totally focused on meeting the target of offering, by monday, everybody who is aged over 70 or a health or social care worker, or who is clinically extremely vulnerable, offering them all the jab. and if you are in one of those groups, what i would say is, please come forward if you haven't already got an appointment to be jabbed, because the more people who get this jab, safer everybody is. thejob is farfrom over, though. now, as well as giving

second booster injections, the focus turns to over—505. the aim is to offer a first dose of vaccine to them by may and all adults by september. government and the nhs will work with local authorities, charities, and faith leaders to achieve this. catherine burns, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our political correspondent nick eardley. nick, matt hancock has been striking an optimistic note in the papers this morning? i think that is right. there is optimism because ministers think that increasingly coronavirus could be kept under control and treated so you have the vaccination programme which as you heard in that piece seems to be going pretty well and will continue over the next few months. you also have new treatments

for coronavirus which ministers think will make a big difference as well. so you have the health secretary this morning in the daily telegraph saying that eventually coronavirus could become a bit like the flu, that society can deal with it basically and although it is still there it does not have the overwhelming impact that we've seen it have in the past year or so. inevitably that led to questions over what happens over the next few weeks and months when it comes to lifting some restrictions. looking at the papers this morning there is lots of speculation about things like outdoor hospitality from april, the possibility of having a point outside in a couple of months. downing street sang at the moment that they have not seen all the data yet and it is too premature to be making cast—iron predictions like that. borisjohnson said that over the next week or so he is going to look at some of the data and then the week after that, the week beginning the 22nd, he will set out

some of the plans to bring england out of lockdown and tell us a bit more about what the next few weeks and months look like. senators in the united states are expected to deliver a verdict on the impeachment trial of donald trump later today. lawyers representing the former president say he used routine political rhetoric when telling supporters to "fight like hell" shortly before a mob stormed the capitol injanuary. democrats say he incited insurrection and want him barred from holding office in future. the government says it's confident that its post—brexit worst case scenario, involving thousands of lorries being stuck in kent, has been avoided. the assessment is based on data showing that flow of lorries has returned to normal levels this month. however, the figures also show a notable rise in the number of empty lorries returning to the eu. the government is getting rid of a cap of £95,000 on public sector

redundancy payments. it comes after unions argued that the measure would affect workers earning as little as £25,000 a year. ministers say they're looking for new ways to tackle excessive payouts for higher earners. two types of contraceptive pill could be sold over the counter for the first time — without the need for a prescription. the medicines regulator is asking the public for their views on whether pharmacies should be able to sell them. currently, the medicines are only available from gps and sexual health clinics. ina in a couple of minutes lots of you have been in touch with all kinds of questions whether about vaccination, variations of the virus and we will try to put some of those two are resident experts to try to get some clarity about where we stand this weekend with covid. with chris smith and professor linda colejoining us

in a moment. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. and the scene behind you is quite typical of the last few weeks but it could change? it is typical of the last few weeks but it could change?— typical of the last few weeks but it could change? it is going to change. still a lot of— could change? it is going to change. still a lot of lying _ could change? it is going to change. still a lot of lying snow— could change? it is going to change. still a lot of lying snow this - still a lot of lying snow this morning and difficult travel conditions. but this is yorkshire, beautiful blue skies but really cold out there this morning. pretty windy as well. things turning milder through the course of the weekend but more especially through the latter part of tomorrow. we have a weather front moving in from the west already bringing snowfall across northern ireland. we could have five, ten centimetres of fresh snowfall across parts of northern ireland during the course of this

morning. some patchy snow across some parts of england. further east likely to remain dry but wherever you are you will notice the strength of the wind come up to a0, 50 miles an hour. so on the thermometer a few degrees above freezing but feeling utterly cold when you add on that wind. some bright weather holding on for the likes of east anglia up to eastern scotland but eventually cloud moving across all parts of the uk bringing some patchy light snow to the north of england and scotland over the course of tonight. sub zero temperatures still holding on in the east but turning milder from the west. we will see rain coming in falling on freezing services. and also quite a windy picture. the mile

they're making its way across all parts of the cake eventually but not reaching the east until the end of sunday. by eight o'clock in the morning sub zero temperatures. they're likely to see significant problems with ice across parts of northern england and scotland without rain for falling freezing services. rain moving in from the west, gusts of wind, 60, 70 miles services. rain moving in from the west, gusts of wind, 60,70 miles an hour through the irish sea and up towards the western isles. east anglia and the south drive for much of the date but temperatures only around a degrees. 12 degrees in belfast. the rain continues its progress east come up and down through the coming week. some rain at times but you will notice temperatures on the we've had some glimmers of hope

in the fight against covid — the spread of the virus appears to be slowing down and the uk is on target to vaccinate 15 million of the most vulnerable people by monday. however, covid deaths remain extremely high — 758 were reported yesterday — and we still have a long way to go. so let's take a look at the latest developments — and answer some of your questions — with the help of the virologist chris smith and professor of public health, linda bauld. good morning. this i think is on behalf of everyone. chris, where our wheat this morning, where do we stand? ., , stand? -- where are we. there is reason to — stand? -- where are we. there is reason to be _ stand? -- where are we. there is reason to be optimistic— stand? -- where are we. there is reason to be optimistic because i stand? -- where are we. there is i reason to be optimistic because we are meeting the vaccine target and we have another vaccine entering the

market, moderna, so we will be fighting the virus on three fronts and also the weather is going to warm up and that always puts virus infections on the back foot because most infectious viruses spread faster in the cold weather. so i think we have green shoots notjust from the spring plants but things getting more towards normal and then this kind of managed retreat, stepping back from the lockdown can begin and hopefully we can look forward to a good summer. linda, do ou share forward to a good summer. linda, do you share that _ forward to a good summer. linda, do you share that optimism? _ forward to a good summer. linda, do| you share that optimism? absolutely, lookind at you share that optimism? absolutely, looking at the — you share that optimism? absolutely, looking at the trends _ you share that optimism? absolutely, looking at the trends we _ you share that optimism? absolutely, looking at the trends we are - you share that optimism? absolutely, looking at the trends we are making i looking at the trends we are making consistent— looking at the trends we are making consistent progress. the rate of infection— consistent progress. the rate of infection is— consistent progress. the rate of infection is below one and we are confident— infection is below one and we are confident of that now and that is the case — confident of that now and that is the case across the uk. and the 0ns infaction— the case across the uk. and the 0ns infection survey is looking promising, around one in 80 people in england _ promising, around one in 80 people in england estimated in this random sample _ in england estimated in this random sample of— in england estimated in this random sample of the population to have

urging people with and without the vaccine to follow all the same guidance we have been because the virus remains very common across the community. we still have large numbers of people with it so minimising contact between people to the greatest extent possible will translate into the greatest rate at which numbers come down. it takes about three weeks from the time you have your vaccine to where you develop a reasonable and response and then by that time normally you would be getting the next one but it is now 12 weeks. with two doses of vaccine you are as protected as you're going to be so you could wait until you get both doses of the vaccine and then go to being in your bubble and that would be a sensible way to go forward. nicola has been in touch, she says, "i had chills, headaches and lethargy after my first dose

people with mild asthma and asthma is a very broad definition, some have very mild symptoms. they may go out and a cold day and cough and wheeze a bit but otherwise they are untroubled but others may have life—threatening asthma and are often in hospital. but people who have mild asthma that is well—controlled yes, they may get an exacerbation in the flu season if they catch the flu or other respiratory infections but at the moment this is not linked to as loss of life under the circumstances as coronavirus is for certain groups. so when vaccine is in short supply thatis so when vaccine is in short supply that is why other people with bigger risk factors are prioritised but ultimately everyone is a priority and as matt hancock set up to date the daily telegraph, his vision is by the summer we will have reached the full spectrum of adults across the full spectrum of adults across the uk and that will include those with asthma. the uk and that will include those with asthma-— with asthma. some people with extreme asthma _ with asthma. some people with extreme asthma may _ with asthma. some people with extreme asthma may have - with asthma. some people with|

extreme asthma may have been prioritised but their gp would have considered them to be vulnerable? exactly, the you people know who are those at extreme risk and they have a list of their patients and they would have made that a priority choice for people they know are extremely vulnerable. there are people with so—called very brittle asthma very quickly tripped over into a category of having extreme symptoms that could be life threatening and under those circumstances those people are often managed on immune suppressing drugs and there's more to their asthma than just the underlying asthma which would put them in a higher risk group. another view it says 80% of deaths have been amongst the over 805. and now the vast majority of this group

has been vaccinated, when will we see a reduction in deaths and what reduction in deaths can we expect? we are beginning to see some data from other— we are beginning to see some data from other places that are slightly ahead _ from other places that are slightly ahead of— from other places that are slightly ahead of us in the vaccine programme. most people are aware that ismel— programme. most people are aware that israel has been steaming ahead and survive — that israel has been steaming ahead and survive they have given a first dose _ and survive they have given a first dose of _ and survive they have given a first dose of the — and survive they have given a first dose of the vaccine to have a 90% of people _ dose of the vaccine to have a 90% of people over — dose of the vaccine to have a 90% of people over the age of 60 or 65 and 80% of— people over the age of 60 or 65 and 80% of those people have received a second _ 80% of those people have received a second dose. some data they released last week— second dose. some data they released last week saw that in the most vulnerable there was already a 35% reduction _ vulnerable there was already a 35% reduction in deaths so i do expect that we _ reduction in deaths so i do expect that we are — reduction in deaths so i do expect that we are already seeing a reduction in the people who are dying _ reduction in the people who are dying with this disease and i hope those _ dying with this disease and i hope those numbers will continue to reduce — those numbers will continue to reduce. 0ver those numbers will continue to reduce. overtime we will build up in the _ reduce. over time we will build up in the first— reduce. overtime we will build up in the first areal reduce. overtime we will build up in the first area i expect us to see an impact— in the first area i expect us to see an impact is— in the first area i expect us to see an impact is in care homes and in fact some — an impact is in care homes and in fact some data in scotland's last week— fact some data in scotland's last week suggest we already have fewer cases— week suggest we already have fewer cases in_ week suggest we already have fewer cases in care homes. so we will see

mentioned earlier, we are going to add an additional vaccine to the repertoire very soon and possibly another one after that across the summer because we have another of other vaccine products wedding in the wings. and headed to the rate at which we can deliver vaccine has been very limited by how much is available. —— waiting in the wings. i anticipate that at the rate going we will get to everyone who is eligible. 0f we will get to everyone who is eligible. of course some groups remain, some who cannot be vaccinated, children and sadly some who have chose not to vaccinate. at the moment we are not vaccinating children because they were not included in the trials and we do not know how theirs would perform. but those trials are going on now and we will have data on that pretty soon and almost inevitably then they will be included as well. i and almost inevitably then they will be included as well.— be included as well. i guess the issue supply — be included as well. i guess the issue supply and _ be included as well. i guess the issue supply and also _ be included as well. i guess the issue supply and also we - be included as well. i guess the issue supply and also we need i be included as well. i guess the i issue supply and also we need to be included as well. i guess the - issue supply and also we need to get second doses to people who have already had their first so it may

to catch the infection and pass it on. that is so population level immunity and we think in effect that kicks in once you reach around 60, 70% of the population with a virus that behaves in the way that this one does. that means once we get to two thirds of the population vaccinated and let's assume that the virus does not change because that is a consideration, at the moment as linda said earlier there is no evidence that the virus we have here is sidestepping the protection conferred by the vaccine so that number holes. so once we get two thirds of the population vaccinated that should be enough to make it much more difficult for the virus to spread and we feel much more comfortable that it is not going to boil over again.— comfortable that it is not going to boil over again. chris mentioned the virus mutating _ boil over again. chris mentioned the virus mutating and _ boil over again. chris mentioned the virus mutating and changing - boil over again. chris mentioned the virus mutating and changing with i boil over again. chris mentioned the virus mutating and changing with all| virus mutating and changing with all these variants, the pharmaceutical companies and scientists are much more prepared and on top of reacting to those in monitoring those strains

weekend into next week but this is the picture in lincolnshire this morning, still quite a bit of snow around with a bitterly cold, icy start to the day once again for many of us as we head through today and tomorrow, slowly the milder air will move across the uk, and you will notice that it is a windy weekend, too so we have this weather front moving in from the west bringing some snow across parts of northern ireland, western fringes of britain with 5-10 ireland, western fringes of britain with 5—10 centimetres of snow across parts of northern ireland so some tricky travel conditions with the snow tending to become light and patchy moving across south—west england, wales as well, could be about five centimetres with parts of western scotland seeing the snow today whereas further east you will stay dry through the day but wherever you are, look at the gusts of wind. the winds coming in from a direction gusting 40—50 miles an hour. although temperatures might be above freezing, the wind chill will

make it feel around minus seven or minus eight degrees so a day for the layers and wrapping up well if you're heading in. a bit of sunshine across eastern england and eastern scotland but turning quite hazy because the cloud working its way eastwards. through tonight we see some patches snow once again for parts of northern england and scotland as well to quite a lot of ice as we head into the early hours of sunday and although temperatures won't be as low as they've been over recent nights, the services are still quite cold out there so lots of ice around tomorrow. through the day tomorrow we have this weather front, quite an active front moving in from the west with isobars on the mat but it slowly pushes the milder air eastwards across the uk through the day on sundays so we have that cold weather across northern and eastern parts to start the day and then we will see the milder air bringing some rain from the west as the rain falls onto subzero surfaces it freezes instantly on impact and we could have some ice particularly in parts of northern england and

scotland tomorrow so i cloud, windy day with patchy rain working west to east with gusts of up to 60—70 miles an hour, staying driest and clearest for longest in the far south—east but we are back in two double figures in the west which sets us up for a mild but unsettled week ahead. thank you very much indeed! enjoy your weekend! shall we talk about a badger? you've riven the shall we talk about a badger? you've given the game _ shall we talk about a badger? you've given the game away! _ when zoe and bruce henderson were woken in the night by strange noises in their kitchen they assumed it was their pet cats getting up to mischief. the truth though was rather stranger than they'd imagined as piers hopkirk has been finding out. thanks for ruining it, naga. it began as a mystery. who was the night—time intruder breaking into the henderson family home? fortunately, cctv caught him in the act and they soon got the answer nose to nose. i was asleep in bed, and heard some noises in the kitchen

and sort of stirred and as i sort of turned to the side, i felt something on the side of the bed, thinking it was one of the cats trying to get up, and turned around to see a big squishy black nose that was a badger with his two clawed feet on the side of my bed, so i was a little bit surprised at sort of five o'clock in the morning. i couldn't believe it, i was amazed. seemingly unfazed and lured by the smell of cat food, the badger came back and, ever since, he's made himself quite at home. he's got bags of personality and he's not fussed by anyone or anything. he's hilarious. ilove him. i'd keep him as a pet but i don't think my husband would be very happy about that. now nicknamed bertie, he's visited more than half a dozen times in the last fortnight. for the hendersons, a welcome distraction during lockdown. it's good fun. the only downside is, he's a bit smelly and it's

definitely 0k except the steam cleaning the kitchen after his left at the end of the day. it's not a rare occasion. i mean, we do get quite a few instances like this. _ they normally only come up - to you when they've been imprinted from quite an early age but this one has, obviously, overa period - of time, got used to the situation and got used to coming _ in through there and knows it - will get some food if it does come in through the cat flap. with his films on facebook, bertie is becoming something of a social media star but he'd better watch out — the cat food is starting to slow down his quick getaway. piers hopkirk, bbc news. there he goes! so, a badger, who would have thought it? i’ue there he goes! so, a badger, who would have thought it?— would have thought it? i've been warned not _ would have thought it? i've been warned not to _ would have thought it? i've been warned not to spoil— would have thought it? i've been warned not to spoil the - would have thought it? i've been warned not to spoil the next - would have thought it? i've been| warned not to spoil the next item would have thought it? i've been - warned not to spoil the next item we are looking at. warned not to spoil the next item we
