the production company, hbo, described jean—marc vallee as a brilliant, truly phenomenal talent. has announced 103 new coronavirus cases among club players and staff — the highest weekly number recorded since testing figures were first circulated in may last year. the league has also confirmed it has reverted to emergency measures following a raft of top—flight postponements. here's the bbc sport's chetan pathak. i suspect no one will be too surprised by the rise in cases. it reflects what's happening in the country. it does emphasise just how tough things are for most of the teams in the league at the moment. the premier league could have come to a pause, but the clubs met last monday to discuss the busy fixture list which has already seen a number of postponements in december, but it was decided to keep going, even though some managers were against that. the rest of the major european football leagues are all in the usual winter breaks at the moment. in scotland, we have seen the premiereship brought forward because of covid. it started after yesterday's matches. spectator numb

jean mackenzie in london.pital edinburgh normally marks the new year with its traditional hogmanay celebrations. earlier, our scotland correspondent, james shaw, outlined the changes taking place this year. if i've been standing in this location alongside edinburgh castle two years ago, you would've seen a huge display of fireworks set off at midnight. a spectacular display, physical all around the city. —— visible. look at how desolate this scene is now. nobody here at all. it is possible that people may turn up later on. that's happened last year when there were strict controls in place. peoplejust come when there were strict controls in place. people just come to this castle to celebrate in an informal way. people will be celebrating around this city. it looks quite bleak here, but people are out on the streets. you can socialise, although you can only have three households in your group and you have to keep separate from other groups. nightclubs are closed essentially, because dancing is not allowed. in no

jean, i wonder if you agree because it feels to me like you've been trying to ring the alarm on thisler. >> exactly, they're not fringe. they're saying out loud for what most people in the republican party think and as i wrote in my l.a. times column, they reflected gop that's trumpier than trump as far as the brutality and as far as the trolling and the performance, politics is performance. performance of cruelty and performance of bullying and not of politics and of making policies to make lives better and the collective good and it's about riling people up and using this kind of hate to, you know, fund raise as raj appointed out in his column and they're desperate to be as famous as aoc and ilhan omar and they're using this to get more attention, but they're also at the same time riling up further extremism in this country, and that's what the republican party is all about now. this has been normal in the republican party since before the trump administration. it's something that has been building since the '90s really in southern california when you had the anti-immigrant governo

that's jean meyer on the left, the resistance fighter.se are the 2,000-odd recommendations being handed to nixon. nixon then handed them to me to be implemented. but then meyer sat down at his desk. >> this is christmas eve, '69. >> before we leave food and food stamps, nixon in his may speech proposed a radical change in the food stamp program. at that point it was not in every county of the united states at all. and there was no uniform eligibility standard for requirements for levels of assistance. he changed all of that and created the food stamp program which became the first true income guarantee. and it was income-tested. poor families didn't have to pay anything. if they simply had no money, no cash to buy food stamps. that was the way the nixon thing unrolled. it's one of the few things he undertook that has stayed with us. it's the s.n.a.p. program now, supplemental nutritional assistance program. it feeds tens of millions of american people. but in that christmas eve meeting that dr. meyer and i had with nixon, this is really i
