in the third minute of the game! fran kirby puts chelsea ahead in their fa cup final against arsenal, a match delayed by the pandemic the travel industry has described the return of pre—departure covid tests for passengers coming to the uk as a "hammer blow" for the sector. from tuesday morning, international travellers will have to take either a pcr or a lateral flow test within 48 hours of leaving for the uk, regardless of their vaccination status. meanwhile nigeria will be added to the travel red list from tomorrow, meaning arrivals must quarantine in a hotel for ten days. here's our business correspondent, katie prescott. once—in—a—lifetime holidays to snowy destinations. people flying to lapland for these

christmas breaks are now desperate for information from the travel agent who organised them. it's the predeparture test, you know, the questions are, you know, what happens if any of us test positive in the resort? what happens? where do we go? are we stuck here? who do we go to? it's just that whole loss of confidence again. travellers contacting the bbc say it's all adding to uncertainty around going away. we know we have to take a predeparture test so the fact we have to take one to come back to the uk, that in itself wouldn't deter me from making the journey in the first place. i suppose it'sjust the accumulative nature of all the different things you've got to do plus the overarching anxiety that you're on an aircraft for, in my case, just under two hours. it's a major blow at a sensitive time according to the travel industry. we believe that this will be a significant setback for demand this winter.

real impacts on christmas. i think we will see people now cancelling or postponing travel plans and for a sector that hasn't had any revenue for 18 months, give or take a few months over the summer period, it's really significant indeed. the airlines do not make money in the winter so we've got a very difficult stretch ahead of us now. but the deputy prime minister says it's better to be safe than sorry. it's better to be safe than sorry and that this will avoid more disruption in the long run. i think, though, that the worst thing would be to then lurch, i having not taken incremental steps that can make a difference, - even if it's only at the margins. i think we want to make sure we take those steps earlier precisely- to avoid the biggest disruption to travel and the economy. - many of these passengers arriving at london's heathrow airport today will have to test before they come home. but the measures will be looked at again in three weeks' time. katie prescott, bbc news.

our health correspondent katharine da costa is here. the uk health security agency updates the number of confirmed cases of omicron in the uk so there have been an extra 86 confirmed cases, of those 68 were in england and to attain in scotland so that brings the overall total to 246 so while cases are taking up the are still small numbers, some linked to travel and there is also early signs of it spreading in communities but it's too soon to say whether this variant will take off in other countries. it's important to remember the uk is already seeing more than 40,000 new cases of delta every day so while the early data coming out of south africa it spreading more quickly than previous waves and that there is a high risk of reinfection from those who have already had covid, it's too soon to

site what that will mean for the uk. and the vaccination booster programme in the uk, where does that stand? , , , ., , stand? this is why the government is t in: to stand? this is why the government is trying to boost _ stand? this is why the government is trying to boost the _ stand? this is why the government is trying to boost the booster _ stand? this is why the government is trying to boost the booster campaign | trying to boost the booster campaign and get every adult boosted by the end of january to turbo—charge and get every adult boosted by the end ofjanuary to turbo—charge our protection, because we are still waiting for information about how effective the vaccine will be about this variant. we may find it lab data in the next week which looks at antibody levels and how that controls this variant but that lab data. it will take several more weeks to get real—world data to see how effective the vaccines are but it's important to say that even if there is some drop—off in protection against infections, santas are optimistic they will still be good protection against serious illness and death. —— scientists are optimistic.

the government has announced a review into the circumstances which led to the death of six—year—old arthur labinjo—hughes. it will look at what improvements can be made by the agencies that came into contact with arthur in the months before he was murdered by his stepmother emma tustin. she was jailed for life at coventry crown court on friday. arthur's father, thomas hughes, was sentenced to 21 years for manslaughter. the children's commissioner, dame rachel de souza, was asked what could have been done to help arthur. she said that authorities must "listen to children's voices" and ensure they "take decisive action" as the result ofany inquiry. the life of a child is of inestimable value and his voice was not heard and that's where we need to start. obviously there is a serious case review under way and we need to see what that says but we must take decisive action and now. my concern is that here we are, 20 years since this post was set up and we are still having these cases. there are two things that i think we absolutely have to do and do now. one is arthur raised concerns, he was not a baby, he was six years old, he raised concerns and the system did not hear him.

we must listen to the voices of children. secondly, no doubt with these reviews and national reviews, it's right that they happen, they tend to make the same recommendations. my challenge to the system will be, and this is what i have done, go look at the best places where social care is delivered, it's not a matter of system recommendations, it's a matter of delivery. when i go to the best places in this country, do you know what i see? i see people inquisitive about children, i see managers asking the right questions. a vigil has been held for arthur outside the home in which he was killed. hundreds of people gathered in solihull, to pay their respects to the six—year—old by releasing balloons. football clubs around the country also paid tribute to him during the sixth minute of their games on saturday — other teams will be following suit today.

the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, has criticised the failure to reconnect thousands of homes which have been without power for nine days. the energy networks association estimates that about 4000 properties are still affected following storm arwen. some people say they've been told they won't be reconnected until wednesday. mr kwarteng has been visiting those affected in county durham. i completely accept this is totally unacceptable and wrong and bad for people to be off power for such a long time and that is why i am here, to make sure we get people back on as quickly as possible. as i said, for 99.5% of people they are back on but for the ones having to put up with this, it is unacceptable. meanwhile army troops will continue to support residents in remote areas. mark mcalindon sent this report from northumberland. on saturday, royal artillery troops arrived at the west hartford fire station near cramlington to be briefed on battle plans of an unfamiliar kind. we're a very flexible organisation. we're trained and prepared for a range of tasks,

be it abroad or at home. and, in this case, you know, in this period of goodwill, what better... what more rewarding task could there be than, you know, providing support and comfort to our local towns and villages? here to meet them was the mp for the enormous berwick—on—tweed constituency, where many have endured more than a week without power. these are very unusual events. and what we need to make sure is that when and if they do happen, that the ability to look after those most vulnerable who need it whilst the repairs are made is the critical part. in rothbury, small detachments collected supplies to take to remote and single households. from there, it was into the hills that surround the town, going door to door where evidence of the power of last week's storm is still visible. this is just a small part of a deployment of around 80 troops who've fanned out across remote parts of northumberland today, checking on some of the last households without power that people are ok.

in the hamlet of yetlington, we find one woman, though, who's struggling to cope. it's terrible. it's awful. have you been told when your power will be restored? wednesday. next wednesday? wednesday coming, hopefully. can you cope until next wednesday? i'll have to. we're into eight days and possibly for some heading into nine days. there's a lot of strong people that live round here. quite resilient communities. we experience a lot of harsh winters, and we've had a lot of other disasters. but i think the strain for some is beginning to show. so, the wait for power goes on. but stephen bridgett says accommodation can be provided for those who want it. mark mcalindon, bbc news. let's speak now to linda lozanby, who lives in grange—over—sands in cumbria. thank you very much forjoining us. do you have power and how are you?

the uk becomes the latest country to tighten its travel rules — as the omicron variant spreads. from tuesday, all arrivals will need a pre—departure covid test. remembering arthur labinjo—hughes — a vigil brings the solihull street where he lived to a standstill as a national review is launched into his murder and the pope is visiting a migrant camp on the greek island of lesbos —— as he seeks to highlight the plight of refugees. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, including the women's fa cup final, here is sarah mulkerrins. good afternoon. let's start with the women's fa cup final, which was delayed because of the pandemic, but is under way right now at wembley in front of nearly 50,000 fans. london rivals arsenal and chelsea are battling it out for the trophy. and it's chelsea who got off the mark quickly. just three minutes in fran kirby put them 1—0 up. they would complete a domestic treble if they win today. and you can watch the second half

live on bbc one right now. these are the live pictures. arsenal looking to win a record—extending 15th fa cup title — but will have work to do to get there yet. chelsea have had many chances in this game so far so we will see how that develops. there are two second round matches still to be played in the men's fa cup as well today. earlier league i plymouth argyle avoided an upset at league 2 rochdale, with lukejephcott scoring a late winner less than two minutes after coming on as a substitute. and callum lang scored both his side's goals as wigan beat colchester 2—i. kidderminster harriers take on halifax at 4pm and salford city face chesterfield at 5:15pm. highlights of all the games on a special fa cup match of the day at 11:45pm tonight. four games too in the premier league including ralf rangnick�*s first game in charge of manchester united. they're at home to crystal palace.

it is goalless so far in the second half there. steven gerrard's aston villa host leicester in the late kick off. celtic have moved back to within four points of rangers at the top of the scottish premiership following a 3—0 win at dundee united. tom rogic and david turnbull put celtic into a commanding lead before young defender liam scales finished the scoring on what was only his fourth appearance as a substitute since moving from shamrock rovers in august. one other game in the spl today, with livingston hosting hearts. and it is goalless there. it is a huge day in the formula i title fight, as contenders lewis hamilton and max verstappen battle it out at saudi arabian grand prix. hamilton starts the penultimate race of the season on pole but if verstappen manages to outscore hamilton by 18 points today he will win his maiden title. but the bbc�*s fi reporterjennie gow says hamilton is taking the pressure in his stride.

he has been very clear in the fact he is the elder statesman of formula i, he has done this, he said on thursday it is not my first rodeo so he is trying to draw on that and use this on a psychological battle between himself and max verstappen. but i think when it comes to it, both are very calm, they are going into today knowing the importance, max verstappen could end today with his first world title but both of them seem calm, cool and ready for action later. australia have named their team for the first test of the ashes which starts at midnight on tuesday evening our time. travis head is included in the batting line up ahead of usman khawaja, while left—arm fast bowler mitchell starc keeps his place in the side. here's the reaction of england captainjoe root. we try not to focus too much on what their exact ii was going to be, making sure

we prepare for the whole squad, and ultimately looking after ourselves as well, making sure we are readying ourselves and we are clear on how you want to approach the series and the test match individually. we know what to expect now, with two days to prepare, we have real clarity for that first ball. chelsea have taken a 2—0 lead against arsenal, sam kerr with that second goal there. and the uk snooker championship final is under way in york. you can find it on the bbc sport website — luca brecel taking on zhao xintong. it's the best of nine frames there, thatis it's the best of nine frames there, that is also live on bbc two, and that is also live on bbc two, and thatis that is also live on bbc two, and that is all from me. the pope has denounced "narrow self—interest and nationalism" over the way europe treats migrants. speaking on the greek island of lesbos, where he met dozens of migrants, pope francis said they were being used for political propaganda.

our special correspondent fergal keane is there. the pope came here with a profound message about the treatment of refugees. in essenee, he said, recognise their humanity, nothing can be gained from building more walls, but much has changed since he first visited in 2016. we now live in a europe where fences have gone up, where pushbacks of migrants on land and at sea including here from the island of lesbos have become commonplace. from croatia to hungary to the english channel, there are continuing stories of refugees in distress. what pope francis wanted to do here today was to focus not just the attention of greek authorities or indeed the european union, but global attention on the problems that face refugees. he's calling for an end to what he has long complained about, a culture of selfishness, of self interest, of individualism, and asking for people once again to look at a much larger context. however, the truth is that in europe especially,

attitudes have hardened and that is reflected in the pushbacks, the fences that we have seen going up. it is hard to see anywhere right now a coherent political vision to tackle this problem. pope francis is celebrasting mass at the megaron concert hall in athens. as fergal was saying, as we see the pope celebrating mass, the first part of his trip was about migration. this part is about religion and in particularfor the pope this about reconciliation between the catholic church he leads and the orthodox church, the main denomination in the two countries he has been visiting, cyprus and greece. that reconciliation has been going on since the 1960s following a

breach of about 900 years. we will continue to follow the progress of francis on his apostolic trip to greece. rescuers in indonesia are searching for survivors in villages buried by hot ash, after a volcano onjava island erupted on saturday. 14 people are known to have died and dozens were injured. more than a thousand people have been evacuated, but the process has been hampered by choking smoke, a power blackout, and rainstorms during the eruption which turned the debris into mud. the duke of cambridge has revealed how his mental health was affected while he was an air ambulance pilot. prince william served in the east anglian air ambulance for two years and said the intensity of the job meant he felt he was "taking home people's trauma and sadness". in an audio recording for apple, which the prince made while walking through the queen's sandringham estate, he also shared the "treasured memory"

of his mother, princess diana, singing tina turner "at the top of her voice" during the school run. large abattoirs are struggling to find staff and get supplies. in recent years, numerous small and medium sized units have been forced to close and there are concerns more may follow. as gareth barlow, himself a former slaughterman, reports, there are warnings that if more smaller abattoirs are lost, there may be significant consequences for rural economies. the north york moors is a landscape with agriculture at its heart but for farmers like peter morson, that is under threat. he had to stop raising livestock after his local abattoir closed. the pigs went for good reason. there has to be a purpose where you're making money looking after the livestock and producing things that customers and will be happy with, but it reaches a point when it's too difficult to do that and you must stop. many smaller slaughterhouses

struggle to stay open and for some farmers the lack of abattoirs able to slaughter and butcher their animals is undermining their business as supply direct to consumers is often more profitable. to give an overview... it might be three times as much income. it depends who i sell to, how i sell the carcass so parts of it going to a restaurant would earn you a less than all of it going to consumers. i have become the price maker as opposed to the price taker. in the 1970s there were just over 1100 red meat abattoirs in the uk. last year that figure was down to just over 200. this is one of the uk's small abattoirs, the abattoir that i used to work in. it's obviously closed now. this is where the livestock would have arrived. they would have come into here, into what's known as the killing hall, the cattle processed in the stunning box, meanwhile the sheep and pigs

processed on those rails. this unit has closed and so are three more within 20 miles of here, all their services lost from the rural economy. across the sector abattoir owners point to finding staff, conforming to what they say are outdated regulations and remaining profitable as constant challenges, but despite that opportunities remain. abattoirs might have closed but not all of those businesses have closed. they are still there, they are now cutting plants, using other abattoirs to do their processing so it's quite a complex picture. smaller abattoirs often provide services larger sites cannot offer, enabling producers to have carcasses butchered and delivered to other businesses, and with the government's financial support forfarmers reducing, for many firms being able to supply for many farms, being able to supply direct to buyers and maximise profit

will be increasingly vital for their survival. farmers have diversified. they've got burger bars, farm shops, farmers markets, box schemes, a whole range of rural businesses depend on having this service from us. because we're so small you think, i know this part isn't making much or any money but my other part is, do i ditch this and concentrate on the area of business making the money? but my heart is in producing it this particular way and that is to me the difficult part. abattoirs are often overlooked. they are the unglamorous part of the food supply chain but without them and without smaller units that support local economies, there is a real risk that farms and the countryside may be forced into significant change. gareth barlow, bbc news. four friends who are also dancers at the nupur arts dance academy in leicester have all won parts in a hollywood blockbuster.

they responded to an advert for bollywood dancers and found themselves in the latest marvel movie — eternals. heidi booth went to meet them. a show—stopping slice of bollywood thanks to some hard work from leicester. shreya, nidi, and sanjay have danced their way into a massive hollywood blockbuster. being on set and being around these people, that's something i hadn't really experienced on that scale ever before. so, for me, as a dancer, to get that chance to be a part of something that i love watching so much... like, if someone told me you're going to be in a marvel movie doing bollywood dancing, i would never have believed it. it's unreal. the friends responded to an advert looking for professional south asian dancers. they had no idea it was for a marvel film until they got to the auditions. once we found out it was marvel, it was just the thrill of knowing we're going to be in a marvel movie.

all four of us that auditioned got the role, it wasjust insane. an insane feeling, the excitement on the way back, we were all in the carjourney on the way back knowing that this is actually reality now. they are among 51 south asian bollywood dancers who feature in the new eternals movie alongside lead actor kumail nanjiani. cut! ok, everyone. that was good. just have to keep cool. it was amazing, such a good experience. it was nice to be able to share that set and the stage and the experience with so many other dancers. this is the first time this many south asian dancers, british south asian dancers, have been in a hollywood movie this big. it is marvel, we made it in the mcu, we really did make history and this isjust the beginning. so i'm really excited to see what comes out of it. with the film now in cinemas, they can finally shout about being part of such a huge moment. everyone was so excited -

when that could finally happen. well worth the wait. it was so monumental. and, you know, kumail nanjiani, who we were working with, was constantly reminding us that this is such a big step forward for south asians around the world. and, you know, we get to be the ones who represent that culture and bring it to the big screen. heidi booth, bbc news, leicester. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. hello, there. it's going to turn cold very quickly this evening where we have the clearer skies. a lot of the cloud and the rain and drizzle that we have seen across england in particular will tend to fade away. and then we will see more cloud streaming in from the atlantic. that will bring with it some wetter weather — mostly rain, but in some areas some snow. that's because we're bumping into all that cold air, and a touch of frost is quite likely in many areas, especially in the east. lowest temperatures in eastern scotland. a spell of snow for a while over higher parts of scotland —

perhaps briefly in the pennines. it is mostly rain otherwise. that rain moving across western areas in the morning, heading its way into eastern parts for the afternoon. to be followed by some sunshine and a fair number of showers, especially in the north—west. blustery showers, wintry showers perhaps as well. temperatures similar to today — a bit milder in the south—west of england and south wales. things take a turn for the worse, though, on tuesday. storm barra arrives. it's named by the irish met service, but in the uk we are going to find winds widely gusting 50 miles an hour. the risk of some disruption and also some damage. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the uk becomes

the latest country to
