the leader of plaid cymru says that while he welcomes this news, he says it is the right thing to do christmas, but he did say because the prime minister has said at westminster that the guidance is not changing, perhaps there does need to be further clarification and communication to people here in wales. it could be seen as confusing, he said. thank you very much. nicola sturgeon has said the scottish government will be recommending that people should meet other households for only one day during the five—day christmas period and should not stay in someone else's home overnight unless it couldn't be avoided. james shawjoins us from glasgow. what else has she been saying? essentially, she was saying that the overall position in terms of regulations during this christmas e—zine, that will be a four nations approach but it is the guidance that is going to be different. she said discussions were continuing on that but they would be issuing stronger guidance for scotland. in particular, as you say, the fact that people should limit the amount of time that they spend on someone's househo

we can speak now to helen maryjones, member of the senedd for plaid cymru. now the culmination of that process. was being underreported, this is now the culmination of that processm is very worrying, i mean, we have to have accurate information. if we're going to ask the public to comply with tighten restrictions to do things at a difficult, especially over the christmas period, they have to be able to trust information that they're being asked to base their actions on. i think we need more clarity from the welsh government about how this happened and some reassurance that it won't happen again. because otherwise people will come to doubt the process, and that may put their complaints at risk. and we all know how serious the situation is in wales, and the tighten restrictions are necessary. so we needed clear explanation about how this came out to the people can be reassured it won't happen again. now the picture is clear, and it is that basically there was a week that it was thought there was 11000 and now it seems there were 22000 and now it seems there we
