this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm... long queues outside vaccination centres, as the race is on to offer boosterjabs to all adults by the end of the year. the prime minister warns omicron is spreading more rapidly than any other variant. the idea that this is milder needs to be set aside and concentrate on the sheer pace it accelerates. but high demand for booster appointments and lateral flow kits overwhelm the government's online systems. labour calls for the public to rise to the challenge, getjabbed and put the national interest first. of course i understand that sticking to the _ of course i understand that sticking to the rules can be inconvenient, but stick—

being offered to people over 30. huge demand meant the nhs england website crashed as people tried to book booster appointments, and the website ran out of lateral flow tests. it's been confirmed that at least one person has now died in the uk with the new omicron variant of coronavirus and it's thought at least ten people are in hospital with it. it's spreading quickly — within the next 48 hours, it's expected to be the dominant variant here in london. here's our health editor hugh pym. they were queueing for boosters in plymouth this morning, and there were lines of people hoping to getjabs in solihull. in hungerford, some had come a distance to have their booster today. we've come from near portsmouth, so about an hour and a quarter. and are you hoping to get a walk—in booster? we were hoping to but we've just heard there is a 3—4 hour wait. i am part of the vulnerable group and i wanted to make sure i get it done. i don't want to ruin my christmas either — that's the main reason.

maybe we won't make it today then. we'lljust keep trying. the opening up of the booster programme and warnings about the rapid spread of omicron meant high demand in many areas. people in this queue for walk—ins were told earlier it could be a four—hour wait. that has now come down a bit, but the message from nhs england is, if you want to be sure of your booster, book it online. the ability to do walk—ins depends on capacity at each local site. the prime minister warned again about the potential threat created by the new variant. sadly, yes, omicron is producing hospitalisations and sadly at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with omicron. so i think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus, i think that is something we need to set on one side. the head of nhs england,

with the prime minister today, now has to oversee a major acceleration of the programme. this is a huge challenge for the nhs and for the country. the prime minister has told us, and public health experts have told us, that the rate at which the omicron variant is spreading presents a serious threat and i have no doubt that the nhs's amazing staff will step up. with more than 100,000 people booking overnight for boosterjabs in england, the website crashed at times. so is the new target, offering every adult a booster by the end of the month, achievable? gps in england have been told they can set aside some routine work to focus on more vaccinations. at this practice, where there is limited space for people to sit after their jabs, they say there must be a clear message. we do need the government to get onside and make it. very clear to the public- that there are consequences.

so, for example, there will be less gp appointments available, - people will have to wait longer. and people will also have| to wait longer for hospital appointments and may- even have their operations, routine operations, pushed back. pharmacists are concerned. they say to step up the vaccination effort they must be allowed to drop routine form filling, and less urgent work. we also have the business as usual that we need to look after. we need to look after our patients on an ongoing basis. so if this red tape and unnecessary things are not managed it will be very hard. we need to release our staff and workforce to be able to look after this and reach the deadlines. as well as queues for boosters, there was very high demand for lateral flow tests with ordering online temporarily suspended, though officials said there were no shortages. the scale of the booster challenge is acknowledged in all the uk's nations. in some areas, military assistance has been drafted in. senior health sources say the end of year target is highly ambitious and delivery may yet take longer.

hugh pym, bbc news. earlier, our medical editor fergus walsh gave us this update on the spread of the omicron variant. in london, it now makes up about 40% of all cases. the prime minister said it would probably make up the majority by tomorrow. by the end of the week, omicron should be the dominant source of all cases in the uk, completely taking overfrom delta. that's because it's spreading so fast. it's doubling every two or three days. that's faster than any previous variant. so, that means we could be heading for 100,000, maybe 200,000 cases a day by the end of the month, maybe sooner. and if that keeps on doubling, at some point, that curve will start to bend. we've had one death confirmed. obviously, that's a tragedy for the family involved, but it tells us very little useful about the level of threat we face from omicron. but even if it is generally a milder

illness than we get from delta, because so many people have got some level of immunity, if we get a massive spike in cases, it still will result, potentially, in a lot of people in hospital. but we won't have the full detail on that threat for a few weeks, which is why the booster programme is so important, because it will give protection against infection, and should give very strong protection against severe illness. well, we can speak now to drjane harvey, who's in charge of a booster vaccination team in hyde in greater manchester. dr harvey, thanks so much for joining us. the prime minister's said that everybody should be able to be offered to their booster by the end of december. is that doable, for you? the end of december. is that doable, for ou? , ~ ,., the end of december. is that doable, for ou? , ~ ~ �* the end of december. is that doable, for ou? , ~ �* , for you? yes, i think so. we've been doin: a for you? yes, i think so. we've been doing a thousand _ for you? yes, i think so. we've been doing a thousand a _ for you? yes, i think so. we've been doing a thousand a day, _ for you? yes, i think so. we've been doing a thousand a day, three - for you? yes, i think so. we've been doing a thousand a day, three or- doing a thousand a day, three or four times — doing a thousand a day, three or four times a week, four months. we mainly— four times a week, four months. we mainly use _ four times a week, four months. we mainly use staff that isn't from primary—

because there is a queue, a 45—minute wait. 45 minutes, even once you're in the door. but the government's aim now, above all, is to get boosters in our arms, fast. the hope — avoiding closing the nation's doors once again. the renewed threat of omicron means that we've got more work to do to stay ahead of this virus. we can, if we all play our part, and boosters are the key. we have achieved so many phenomenal things over the last two years, and i know we are weary but it's on all of us to pick up, to step up, and do some phenomenal work once again to play our part and to get boosted now. despite the chaos of the last few weeks, labour does want you to listen. i say to people feeling let down or lied to, i that i do trust the chief medical officer — i i do trust the chief scientific. advisor and i do trust the nhs. the prime minister might not lead by example, i but the rest of us can, i

and we, the labour party, trust you, the british people, to do the right thing. - boosters have rapidly become borisjohnson's priority, yet after a very shaky few weeks in number ten, sitting at the table doesn't necessarily mean you're in charge. and borisjohnson's own party knows it. there's precious little objection to the booster programme, but many tory mps are so frustrated at how number ten has been handling things of late that they will show that tomorrow, by voting against the plan for covid passports, where, in england, you will have to show your vaccine record or a negative test to get into some venues. the political mood has turned so dark that dozens of tory mps now feel free to bash number ten. more than 70 tories are expected to vote against the passports plan, and are only too happy to talk about it. we have this instinctive discomfort about this step that we seem to be taking, and it's causing a lot of us...

giving us a lot of reason to just pause and reflect on this. it will be very difficult to vote for it. it's a question of how effective they actually are, and evidence from other countries suggests they're not very effective, but also i have a problem with the government requiring people to do that. we are not a "papers, please" society. - this is not nazi germany. 0k? it is the thin end of- an authoritarian wedge, and that's why we will resist it. that dramatic criticism won't lead to defeat. labour backs the plan, so it will pass the commons tomorrow, but no government, no prime minister wants to lose the argument with its own side. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. in the past hour, the labour leader sir keir starmer addressed the nation, saying it was essential to put the national interest first, and urging people to "stick to the rules" and get their top—up injections.

is leader of her majesty's opposition, it is my solemn duty to challenge the government were necessary to stop the health, security and well—being of our nation's people must always be the first priority full stop that is why we will always support measures designed to protect public cloud. that includes the measures in plan b. we are a patriotically party, and it's our patriotic duty to vote for these measures to ensure that they go through. in doing so, we are supporting the nhs, and supporting our country. but, rest assured, i will still hold the government to account in the coming weeks. that is also in the national interest.

account in the coming weeks. that is als this the national interest. account in the coming weeks. that is als this national nal interest. account in the coming weeks. that is als this national emergency, which is on this national emergency, which is how to tackle the new variant of covid, which is rampant, a tidal wave, in borisjohnson's view. so thatis wave, in borisjohnson's view. so that is i think what sir keir starmer was trying to do. find that is i think what sir keir starmer was trying to do. and how does the government _ starmer was trying to do. and how does the government itself, i starmer was trying to do. and how does the government itself, and i does the government itself, and particularly the prime minister, deal with the fact that in order to get these covert restrictions through, he needs the opposition? has through, he needs the opposition? is laura said, through, he needs the opposition? 23 laura said, no through, he needs the opposition? 2.3 laura said, no government wants to be in that position, and it is a very unusual situation to government to find itself in, relying on the votes of opposition mps to pass really important legislation. just to recap, this is about extending the use of facemasks, face coverings, to many more indoor venues, it's about introducing the need for people to show either

vaccination certificates or a negative covert test are going to some bigger venues, and also replacing self—isolation with daily testing, if you are the contact of somebody who has the omicron variant. these are important changes, which the government say will help slow the spread of the new variant, and it will not like the fact that, as things stand at the moment, we expect more than 70 tory mps to vote against. this is quite a broad range of tory backbench opinion too, some brexiteers, some who voted remain, some who might be categorised as libertarians, others definitely not, but sharing a broad view that, in their opinion, certainly this idea of showing your vaccination certificate or having to take a test to go to the theatre or a football match is a step too far. those numbers don't seem to be shrinking, and again, as laura said, this vote tomorrow will be seen as evidence of the general mood within the tory party, you know, how happy, or not, they are with number ten at the moment, because it will be seen as a test of the prime minister's

authority, a prime minister with a firm grip on his party i think would be expecting to get far more of his backbenchers to be voting for these measures than borisjohnson may tomorrow. measures than boris johnson may tomorrow. . ~ measures than boris johnson may tomorrow. ., ,, , ., . let's speak to mo hussein, former downing street chief press officer under david cameron, and was special adviser to amber rudd as home secretary. thanks so much for speaking to us. politics, as many people have said is about the politics deaf the power to persuade. does the prime minister still has that?— still has that? well, i think that is a very good _ still has that? well, i think that is a very good question - still has that? well, i think that is a very good question and i still has that? well, | think that| is a very good question and now still has that? well, i think that - is a very good question and now his authority— is a very good question and now his authority is — is a very good question and now his authority is certainly draining away — authority is certainly draining away. we have had over a month now with a _ away. we have had over a month now with a series — away. we have had over a month now with a series of unforced errors from _ with a series of unforced errors from numberten, starting with with a series of unforced errors from number ten, starting with the 0wen _ from number ten, starting with the owen paterson debacle, and now we are seeing _ owen paterson debacle, and now we are seeing the christmas party stories. — are seeing the christmas party stories, and how his flat was decorated, all of which is chipping away— decorated, all of which is chipping away at _ decorated, all of which is chipping away at his— decorated, all of which is chipping away at his authority and i'm afraid chipping _ away at his authority and i'm afraid

known to have been killed, with more than a hundred others still missing. president biden has called it, "one of the largest" storms in american history, and has declared a majorfederal disaster in kentucky. lebo diseko has this report. picking up the pieces of their lives. homes, businesses and whole towns reduced to rubble. it's horrible, it's the definition of hell on earth. i can't... people have lost everything and it's just, it's terrible, it's horrible. this is what was left of one home. its owner says it tookjust four minutes to do this. everything stopped. i stuck my head out and looked up with my flashlight to the edge of the house and i noticed there was no wall there and that's when i told my wife, i said, i'm going to tell you right now, i'm warning you, when we go up there, i don't think the house is there, it's gone. kentucky's governor says this is the most devastating tornado event in his state's history, with no one found

alive since saturday. to the people of america, - there is no lens big enough to show you the extent of the damage here in graves county- or in kentucky. one of the worst affected towns is mayfield. eight people were confirmed to have died at a candle factory, destroyed with more than 100 employees inside. and, at an amazon factory in neighbouring illinois, at least six employees are reported to have lost their lives. president biden has declared a major federal disaster in this state. he says he will ask the environmental protection agency to look into whether climate change played a role in the storms. it's going to be a long process to repair this damage, caused in such a short space of time. lebo diseko, bbc news. edward marlowe is a reporterfor a local radio station in kentucky. the warning systems in place were

extremely effective. we've already seen several stories come out of the mayfield and dawson springs area, where people basically tied themselves to pipes and things like that in their basements to survive, and kind of stay attached to their foundations. so i'm sure that we will see some uplifting stories during that time. governor andy basheer reported this morning that they are going to have to search the entire debris field in western kentucky for some of these and accounted for, but it does need to be noted that cell phone service is quickly returning, and as communication start to develop over the next few days, people may be located, as time goes on. now it's time for a look at the weather, with darren bett. it is likely to be chilly and lying

on last night and then has the country, chip clay the sky into scotland and we can pull the vein is a move southwards into southern parts of england and wales in the rain comes light and patching and we can season some fog forming mainly because northern parts of england. they wind picks up towards the north—west and we see mcleod and later on when picking up and that all starts temperatures but for many of his and last night mailed area that all starts temperatures but for many of his and last night mailed areas across was more southern morning tomorrow. we see mcleod and later on when picking up and that all starts temperatures but for many of his and last night mailed area that was more southern parts of england and wales together with some drizzle mainly in the morning tomorrow. we've got where that for forms perhaps north wales nothing and it could be rather stubborn, lingering and making it feel quite chilly here, much milder to the top and tail of the uk. ifish chilly here, much milder to the top and tail of the uk. i fish were set to building later on in the week and thatis to building later on in the week and that is really going to settle things down, keep a lot of cloud, mist and fog eventually turns little cooler.

hello. this is bbc news. the headlines... long queues outside vaccination centres as the race is on to offer boosterjabs to all adults by the end of the year. the prime minister warns omicron is spreading more rapidly than any other variant but high demand for booster appointments and lateral flow kits overwhelm the government's online systems — labour calls for the public to rise to the challenge, getjabbed and put the national interest first the american citizen anne sacoolas is to face criminal proceedings in the uk over the death of 19—year—old harry dunn by dangerous driving. rescue teams search for survivors after tornadoes hit the us. at least 64 people have died in kentucky, with more deaths across other states. and this year's golden globe nominees are announced — but after months of controversy over a lack of diversity will hollywood itself shun the awards?

let's return to our top story, and the huge demand for booster vaccines after the prime minister announced a massive acceleration of the booster programme. the rules about who can get a boosterjab — and how — vary across the four uk nations. in a minute we'll hear from our correspondents in wales, scotland and northern ireland — but first here is sophie hutchinson on england's rules... in england, boosterjabs are available for everyone aged 18 and over, as long as you've had your second dose at least three months ago, and there are some walk—in appointments, but you have to be prepared to queue. otherwise, anyone aged 30 and over can book their boosterjab online, from two months after their second dose, although the online system did go down earlier today when more than 100,000 people tried to book their jabs. but, from wednesday, that online system will also be opened up to anyone aged 18 and over. the aim is to give every adult in england the chance to book a booster by the end of the year,

and that is a big challenge. to get yours go to the nhs england website and look for "book a coronavirus vaccination." in wales, you have to wait for an invitation for your booster. don't call them, they'll call you. so far, everyone aged 65 and over should have received an offer of an appointment. people in their early 40s are now getting dates. today, the welsh government said it will try to fast—forward the deadline, offering every adult a third dose by the end of december. that'll mean extending hours, stretching staff, and offering more walk—in centres. there's no online booking system, but there is more information at the website, gov.wales/ get—your—covid—19—vaccination. what about more restrictions? well, ministers from the welsh government will meet again at the end of this week, but they have already suggested more

measures are likely. from today, everyone over 30 will be able to book a booster online. that will be extended to people aged 18—29 later in the week. there are drop—in centres in four health board areas — fife, tayside, forth valley, and ayrshire and arran. nicola sturgeon has said she wants to be able to offer a booster to everyone who is eligible by the end of the month. her health secretary has warned that new restrictions to curb the spread of omicron are, as he put it, "inevitable". the details of that are expected tomorrow. in northern ireland, anyone who is 30 or older can have a booster at a walk—in vaccination centre, like this one at the ulster hospital near belfast. you can book in advance if you're over a0 or have a health condition which means you're particularly vulnerable to covid. pre—booked appointments are also available at gp surgeries and many local pharmacies. the devolved government says it's recruiting hundreds

of new vaccinators, and it's aiming to offer as many boosterjabs as possible before the end of the year. for more information, you can go online at nidirect.gov.uk. well, a little earlier our correspondent, andrew plant, who'd been watching people queue for up to four hours at one berkshire vaccination centre, said there was a great enthusiam to get a boosterjab. scenes we've seen here in hungerford have been replicated, by the sounds of it, at walk—in centres right across the country as people respond to that speech yesterday and try to get their boosters as soon as possible. when we arrived here there was queues snaking right around the block. there's a football pitch just here and they were going round all four edges of it. in fact, this is an appointment centre and walk—in. it's open till seven o'clock tonight but they had to close the walk—in section of that at two o'clock because they figured they'd got five hours worth of queue there. and it has been a long wait for most people — this is right at the end of it now, still probably a half hour wait

for the people there, but most of them have been out here for more than four hours, and it's not been particularly warm and there's been intermittent drizzle, too, so they do seem pretty determined to get those boosters today if they can. there has been evidence of other demand, as well. this morning people trying to book their appointments on the nhs website — lots of people finding that was crashing, there was just too much traffic going to the same site at the same time, and some people telling me when they did get in the queue there was a virtual queue in front of them saying that there were 15,000 people ahead of them. so, that isjust high demand. the advice there, of course, is just to try again later, try again tomorrow. there are more appointments coming online all the time and new walk—in centres coming online, as well. that's to try and meet that very ambitious target, of course, of giving boosters to more than a million people every single day between now and the start of next year if they want to hit those targets. there were some other problems, as well, actually, with lateral flow tests. people will be familiar with the scheme now. you can go on to the government website and order those completely free, and they're pretty rapid, as well, normally turning up at your door a day or two later. but, again, people going on to that

website today and being told that there were none available. actually, we're told, there is no supply issue with those. we're told there is plenty to go round. in fact, the issue there was distribution, and the advice is exactly the same — wait because it's just too many people trying at exactly the same time to get exactly the same thing. there are enough available, but try again later or try again in the morning. meanwhile, here in hungerford, people getting to the end of that queue there. i have to say, ben, despite the conditions here today, it is slightly warmer than normal but, of course, after four hours in the cold people are pretty freezing. i haven't seen a single person put off and turn around. that is their determination to get their boosters done here andrew plant reporting. the premier league has confirmed 42 new positive cases amongst its 20 clubs. the league says it's also reverted to emergency measures and will increase the frequency of lateral flow and pcr testing. manchester united say they're unsure if it's safe for their game with brentford to go ahead tomorrow after they shut down their training ground.

a they've done so for 21a hours to minimise the risk of further infections, after those who returned positive covid tests after their win at norwich had them confirmed with pcr tests today. the club say the team won't travel down to london until the outcome of discussions with the premier league is known. staying with football, there were two attempts at carrying out the champions league last 16 draw today. the first one was declared void because of mistakes made that uefa blamed on a software problem. so a couple of hours later it was undertaken again... there's one tie that is the same as the first attempt — that's holders chelsea against lille, while the other english teams will face different opponents. liverpool will play inter milan, manchester city against sporting lisbon, while manchester united are taking on atletico madrid voters in north shropshire go to the polls in a by—election on thursday. that's the constituency which was previously held by owen paterson. my colleague martine croxall has spent the day in oswestry. welcome back to baileyhead in oswestry. can't get rid of the umbrella this time. it is really remaining now but we have got the lights for christmas to cheer us.

this is one of five market towns in this very rural constituency of north shropshire where there's a by—election on thursday triggered by, of course, the resignation of the conservative mp owen paterson. 11a candidates standing in total. helen morgan is the liberal democrat candidate and she is here with us now. helen, how have the dynamics of this campaign changed over recent weeks? because we have now got this mix of local issues and also what has been happening in downing street last christmas in the mix. yeah, i mean, to the start of the campaign we found that there is a bit of anger around the way the rules had been changed and mid—process in dealing with the owen paterson lobbying scandal, but as we progressed through the campaign people are much more focused on the local issues here which, obviously, mostly around the nhs in terms

of people waiting for ambulances and people being unable to access their gp but over the last week or so with the news about the party breaking we have seen a change again in the focus of the issues here. how much more engaged as it made people? i think it is different caused a lot of anger. so on the doorstep before tuesday night we were finding a lot of people wavering, you know, considering changing their vote, and that's really firmed up over the last few days. owen paterson had a 22,000, nearly 23,000 majority. that's hard to overturn — it requires a big swing. why would local people choose something they don't know in the form of a liberal democrat? well, ithink, you know, we've been quite visible on the ground over the last year. we had a big local election campaign, and we came a good second in that, and i think local people, they and i think local people, just, they recognise that they've had conservatives not only at mp level but in the council for a long time, and they're ready to vote for something different, and i think we offer, sort of, a natural change from a traditional conservative voter, who might be thinking about changing their vote. if you were to be voted in, you'd be the 13th liberal democrat mp in westminster. how, with such a small group of mps,

could you affect the kind of change that you want to see for this constituency? and amersham, you know, our 12th mp came along in the summer this year, and she had an immediate impact on planning law, because that was the top issue in her constituency and in her campaign, and i think we can do the same here. you know, it's about sending a message to the government to say, "it's not good enough that people are dying waiting for ambulances," and we need to change that, and having a strong, local voice to make that clear. now, this was a leave voting area in the eu referendum, which of course is not the liberal democrat's natural constituents. how do you appeal to people like that, particularly farmers, who feel that brexit haven't delivered what they were hoping for?

to be honest with you, nobody has really posted on the doorstep, so they have been really focused on communicable solving what's in front of us, and i think people feel really that that's a debate that we've had, and that we need to move forward, and it hasn't really been an issue. as i say, i think ourfarming community feel let down by some of the trade deals that have been done and they want somebody to fight their corner on those, but beyond that it hasn't really come up. where do you stand on having a second job if you were to be elected an mp? i wouldn't have time for a second job! i'd have to give up my currentjob if i was to be elected. i'm definitely not going to have one. just very briefly, what about the fact that you are a local woman? how important do you think that would be to constituents? it certainly comes up as something that is quite important to constituents. when we knocked on doors, they want somebody who really understands what it's like to live here. so, you know, they want somebody who lives and works in the constituency to represent them. well, it's all to play for. you're not going to count your chickens before they're hatched, you said, but are you feeling quite optimistic about how things might go for you? yeah, if we can carry on having a big effort this week

like we did at the weekend, i think we can get over the line on thursday. we will see. caroline morgan from the liberal democrats, thank you very much for talking to us. as we've said, this has turned into a very exciting race. it has all been made all the more interesting, because of what's been happening in westminster, so everyone here is free to go to the polls on thursday for that ballot. martine croxall and her umbrella there. we've spoken to a number of the candidates throughout the day here on bbc news. there are a total of 11a candidates standing in the north shropshire by—election. natwest has been fined more than £264 million after admitting breaching anti—money laundering regulations. the bank pleaded guilty to three offences in october. an investigation revealed

a jewellers in bradford deposited £365 million with natwest over a five—year—period, including money brought into a branch in bin bags. whilst issuing the fine, thejudge said he didn't believe nat west had broken the law deliberately. the fear of poverty gnaws away at dajonta samuels — he says he worries about ending up living on the streets — and he isjust 9. his family is among many who are facing a cost of living storm this christmas amid soaring bills and falls in their pay according to a new report. the tuc says millions of workers are set to have the worst christmas wage squeeze in nearly ten years. inflation hit its highest rate in a decade last month, and is expected to increase further. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports from the west midlands. school over, dajonta and his mother head home. but their flat isn't the sanctuary it should be. money worries dominate. this one, he worries, so i can't let him see everything else, because he's a deep thinker.

christine works 35 hours a week as a carer, but her salary just covers the bills. i mean, he asks me, "mum, are you up with the bills them now? "you can manage them?" and things like that, you know? do you worry? yes, a lot. because i don't know what's going to happen when she doesn't get enough bills paid and i don't want to be living out on the streets. his dream is to be a footballer, to earn lots of money. so you can help your mum? yep. and i wish i was older, so i could pay the bills with her. he will sometimes ask me to pray for him. and, by the time i pray for him, that calms him down and he goes off to sleep. christine earns £1,200 a month, but often needs a food bank to feed her family. the 47—year—old regularly skips meals herself. i've lost so much weight.

people said, "oh, you lose the weight, christine." i can't even say much to them because i say to myself, "a pity you don't know what is happening right here." 50p an item now — it's all got to go. l at the market in west bromwich, money is getting tighter, say traders. energy and petrol price rises making bargains a premium. this is not an area of high unemployment, but manyjobs are low—skilled. people here don't work less, theyjust don't earn as much. weekly wages in this area are about £80 lower than they are in the rest of britain. and this is most of my baking accessories — so cake boxes, turners to decorate, crowns. you bake cakes to sell? yes, i do it as a hobby. halima bibi is a part—time librarian and a full—time hustler. so you've got this one. it's normally around £100.

i paid £20 for it. buying cheap, selling high. so the idea is eventually to sell it, see if i can make something from it. all of this is my wedding resources. creating value — profit — where she can. you work in the library, you've got three other side hustles. yes. and you shop in the promotional aisle. and a lot of people will only find that out about me now, because i've not shared that with them because i've been embarrassed of it. the divorced mother of two says many people, including colleagues, can be unsympathetic. they don't understand disadvantaged people. they will, like, go, "you are too stingy," and i'll go, "no, i'm not stingy." i have everything for my children but i do it on a budget. with the season of giving fast approaching, many families increasingly feel they have nothing left to give. michael buchanan, bbc news, west bromwich. the headlines on bbc news... long queues outside vaccination centres as the race is on to offer boosterjabs to all adults

by the end of the year. but high demand for booster appointments and lateral flow kits overwhelm the government's online systems. the american citizen anne sacoolas is to face criminal proceedings in the uk over the death of 19—year—old harry dunn by dangerous driving. alongside the surge in demand for designer dogs during lockdown, a bbc investigation has found networks of breeders offering to arrange to cut dogs' ears to create a look popular on social media. cropping a dog's ears is illegal in the uk — but "bbc wales investigates" has found fraudulent pet passports being offered to help hide the origin of illegally mutilated dogs. wyre davies reports. good boy, griff. you've been such a good boy.

lockdown has been boom time for the dogs business. so these are what are known as micro bullies. the whole purpose of the breed is to try and make them as small and stocky as possible. these dogs were seized from a cardiff—based breeder. christopher may liked to show off and advertise his dogs online. he was recentlyjailed for breeding without a licence. he was also convicted of another crime — cutting off their ears. sadly, there is a demand for dogs with their ears mutilated. this is what he should look like, look. it's purely an aesthetic, to achieve a certain look that some people think is attractive. it's illegal to cut a dog's ears like this in the uk. but at the moment you can import one with its ears already cropped. there are laws in place to protect animals, but we've found plenty of backyard breeders who are staying one step ahead of the authorities to make some serious cash.

social media is awash with breeders. many run legitimate businesses, but others seem very keen on dogs with cropped ears. we've got a guy — he's nothing to do with us, but we do use him. all of my dogs have been done by him. we went undercover and spoke to one breeder. he offered us one very young puppy for £13,000. say hello. and describes what can be done to her ears. and, yeah, obviously then... if it ever comes back to us, we're going to say that it was present when you collected it. after that, nothing to do with us. the breeder denied doing anything illegal. we showed our evidence to an expert. i would say his practices are abhorrent. - he's ultimately advocating an illegal, painful, - unnecessary mutilation. it is all for cosmetic reasons. there is no health benefits to these dogs at all. - the uk government says planned changes to the law would restrict the importation of dogs with cropped ears

and puppies under six months old. but, as part of our investigation, we got hold of a blank foreign pet passport. this is what allows some breeders to claim they've imported a dog with cropped ears to hide illegal activity here. an activity that can generate huge profits, but in which designer dogs are often made to suffer. wyre davies, bbc news. the 2022 golden globes nominations are out, and benedict cumberbatch, olivia colman and sir kenneth branagh are among the british stars in the running for the awards. the us network nbc dropped however, they will not be broadcast on tv — the us network nbc dropped the show after a backlash over the organisation's lack of diversity. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson gave us some background to the row: week and go back to february this year. it week and go back to february this ear. ., ., week and go back to february this ear. . ., j~ year. it emerge that at the 87 eo - le year. it emerge that at the 87 people to _ year. it emerge that at the 87 people to vote _ year. it emerge that at the 87 people to vote for _ year. it emerge that at the 87 people to vote for the -

half of them, snoop doggy dog, the hip—hop star and after was they're lending his support the golden globes are many people might be surprised to see that. joining me now is larushka ivan—zadeh who is the chief film critic at metro uk news. thanks so much forjoining us. at the golden globes going out of business? .. the golden globes going out of business? ,,. ., ., the golden globes going out of business? .. ., ., ., business? said media not in great business. the _ business? said media not in great business. the golden _ business? said media not in great business. the golden globes i business? said media not in great i business. the golden globes another couple the colour used to be. it used to be the glitziest night of the hollywood, that they were described as hollywood party of the year and really this year it is a party that no one seems to want to go to. it has a quite toxic feel about it and some publicists have called the awards tainted. celebrities, this has always been a very selective in event and celebrities were nothing to do with it this year. idistill celebrities were nothing to do with it this ear. ~ . celebrities were nothing to do with it this year-— celebrities were nothing to do with it this year._ that i it this year. will be ten or? that is the thing. _ it this year. will be ten or? that is the thing, probably _ it this year. will be ten or? that is the thing, probably not i it this year. will be ten or? that l is the thing, probably not because it is not going to be televised, so it is not going to be televised, so it is not going to be televised, so it is very unlikely they are going to go there and actually, already,

meaningful and credible change within their organisation in such a way that it is has been a model not just any other organisation of the oscars as well and i think if you compare that to what the foreign press association has done it is really not considered enough but this is hollywood. i mean, give it another year and it will probably all be piling back onto the red carpet, for we know!- all be piling back onto the red carpet, for we know! daily then look at the nominees. _ carpet, for we know! daily then look at the nominees. 0h, _ carpet, for we know! daily then look at the nominees. oh, yes, - carpet, for we know! daily then look at the nominees. oh, yes, the i at the nominees. oh, yes, the nominees! _ at the nominees. oh, yes, the nominees! l — at the nominees. oh, yes, the nominees! i had _ at the nominees. oh, yes, the nominees! i had forgotten i at the nominees. oh, yes, the i nominees! i had forgotten them. go ahead, who stands out for you? thej ahead, who stands out for you? the two front ahead, who stands out for you? tie: two front runners of the power of the dog which i love and probably my film of the year, new film by the director of the piano, herfirst big screen hollywood film for 12 years, she has been a netflix and doing this and it stars benedict cumberbatch in a way you've never seen before clean only replace teletype perennials and he has this rough tough montana cowboy in 19th—century america and it is thus an amazing star making performance by a former child actor so it is a break—out role for him and it is
