steve humphrey, bbc news, portsmouth.est, 4—point—9 million people were estimated to have coronavirus last week, according to the office for national statistics — the highest number since its survey began in april 2020. in england, it's estimated one in 13 people have the virus. in wales it's one in 14, scotland was slightly higher with one in 12, and in northern ireland it was one in 15. adam finn is a professor of paediatrics at bristol medical school and member of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation explained why the guidance had been expanded to include children. it is very much on offer for people who want to have their children immunised, clearly children are at a much lower risk from covid than old folks that me and the imperative to get immunised for older people does not exist for children but parents who want to have their children immunised and get some extra protection against a possible future wave of coronavirus are now welcome to come forward. these are vaccines that have common side—effects,

even he is leaving on his way to portsmouth new hampshire to tout the benefits of the infrastructure that is also home to the portsmouth naval shipyard, one of the most important installations for upgrading and revitalizing our nuclear submarine fleet. they are spending money to upgrade that facility. lisa: this idea of how engaged lawmakers are even if they are on break or concerned about the midterm elections. how engaged they are at a time when people are talking about the u.s. and helping to really remove their dependency on russia or whether it's really increasing production of grains so they can really feed a lot of the nations that are running into some issues. how much is their willingness to spend at a time when spending is being blamed for a lot of the inflation that we are seeing now? >> very little willingness. republicans wouldn't even get together on a covert funding bill because they didn't like the fact that it wasn't coming with offsets and some of the ways this came together is resulting in supplies running out here. we talked to lawmakers every night on bloomberg r

intelligence officer who now lectures in military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth, england. he talked to me about the progress russian troops are making in this eastern assault. well they started what's called the artillery preparation and some initial probing attacks such as criminal which your correspondence mention . it's quite a small town actually has been fought over for a number of years or please contest it. they are not really set already for this operation. something of this size that really take several minutes to set up. they've had a few weeks. there needs to be logistics networks fully and fully protected and secure and so forth. all kinds of things they should have done haven't actually, of a lot of pressure on the russians to get things done. and i think that's going to backfire . so to answer your question directly, it's raining now. it's, it's warm, it's going to be a terrible day for the defenders. lot of people going to get killed that the russians are in some trouble, i think from, from the perspective preparation. all right, so when we look at

not -- he hasn't delivered anything to voters who might be curious about him, so they will go to portsmouth hampshire today and talk about a newport that they enhanced and fixed as part of the infrastructure bill, something i think is interesting about that, though, the person who has been tasked with fixing the ports, mayor pete buttigieg, just a day after -- yesterday, "the washington post" said he is a greater threat to the democratic nomination and then even the vice president, harris, and he wasn't there, the port guy was not there at the port thing in portsmouth. they had him doing another event out in wisconsin. so, '22 will be here before we know it, but 2024 is going -- just right after that. and i don't doubt this report from "the hill" that the president told barack obama he wants to run again. >> sean: you don't doubt that, you believe that? >> yes. >> sean: wow. >> he is in new hampshire, iowa a week or two ago, those are not states he did well in, but he still got elected president. i've no reason to doubt that report. >> sean: so we now have a border surge, may be worse than

want to bring in nbc white house correspondent mike memoli who is with the president in portsmouth.is week. why the full-court press now and why those cities? >> reporter: well, garrett, it's interesting. as a fellow road warrior from the 2020 campaign, you'll remember one of the last times i was here was with then candidate joe biden, who left the state in a hurry before the polls even closed on primary day. not only did he skip ahead to south carolina, obviously on the road to winning the nomination, he never came back to new hampshire in the general election. this is a state he won in 2020 against donald trump by eight percentage points. but now new hampshire is home to two of some of the hottest midterm races we're going to see. senator maggie hassan, the democrat, seeking a second term as well as chris pappas, a congressman from here. this is a swing district that has gone back and forth so often. so it's interesting to see the president with his approval rating obviously on the downward trend, this is a astate that's much more competitive. but it's also interesting to see that

. >> it connects the hilton hotel to portsmouth square. some call it a landmark but the city wants to tear it down. john ramos explains. >> it was built in 1971 to connect chinatown with the financial district but it never really achieved the goal and it's time to come down. >> when they built the hilton hotel, the development agreement called for a chinese cultural center and a pedestrian bridge across kearny street to the plaza. bridgi from the park to the cultural center makes it easier especially for elderly folk. >> the park is often called chinatown's living room and is filled every day with elderly chinese men and women playing cards and socializing but a study revealed more than three quarters of chinatown residents never use the bridge of all. critics say the hilton treated like a private rather than public space, closing it on sundays or during private dining events. >> and never served its intended purpose and through the years, applicants have really pushed to have it torn down. >> they say demolishing it would open up 20,000 s

frank led, which is a senior lecturer and military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth. he here in the u. k. ga, fos, skype from oxford. thanks very much for being with us. we'll just start with how significant it is that this opened admission from, from the russians that they want to seize all of southern and eastern ukraine. laura and i wonder if this is flag flag to see what your action it throws out. but if it's genuine, it's interesting for 2 reasons. first of all, this is the old region of nevada. you are looking to last francs now, which i just remember to see if we can get him back. i'm not sure if we, if he's back at all but not to did seem to freeze, we'll try and resend it. we establish chef. i'm interested in come back to me and in a moment. but in the meantime the you and human rights officers described the word ukraine as a horror story of violations against civilians. there is evidence of war crime scene. ringback and these include indiscriminate shunning and bombing are populated areas, summary, execution up to the dns. as i said, the vast majority of vi

new so he'll go toha portsmouth, new hampshire today and talk about a new port that they invested in that they fixedha as part of the infrastructure bill , something that i thinknk is very interesting about that , though. so the person who has been tasked with fixing the ports, mayor boota judge just a day after yesterday the washington post said that he is a greater yes threato the democratic nomination than even the vice president kamala harris. t,and he wasn't there at the por guy wasn't there at the port thing in portsmouth and 80% doing another event outim in wisconsin. and so twenty two will be here before we know it. 2024 but 2020 four is going to be here just right after that . and i don't doubt this reportor from the hill that theac president told barack obama he wants to run again. bt he knows that you believe that . yes. >>and he's in new hampshire. >> h he was in iowa a week or two ago. week those are not states that he did well in , but he still got elected president. and i i would i have no reasont to doubt that reporting. so we now have a border surge a like maybe wors

next saturday the 23rd, expected to be the last day of the operation of the restaurant near portsmouth square. >>> major religious events have many around the bay area worshiping today. let's begin with good friday services. saint dominic skeptic church in san francisco the day christians recall the crucifixion of jesus, his suffering, death and resurrection that ultimately leads to the celebration on easter sunday. >> it was a beautiful feeling. no question about it. i felt god there today. >> so this evening, the jewish celebration of passover. jews commemorate leaving captivity in egypt. all the ingredients with seder in a box being prepared for the traditional mail. after that we are midway through ramadan, the holiest month for muslims. >>> a live look is looking forward to the weekend. a lot of the kids looking forward to the weekend. >> a lot of that stuff happens on saturday. sunday morning there is easter stuff to do but, you know, doesn't involve hunting for chicken products or chocolate. spoke usually chocolate in my house. >> kind of a washout tomorrow morning. so, alternat

he's now his senior lecturer in law in strategy at the university of portsmouth, frank, it's good to have you back on the program to night. you know, expectations and predictions in this war in ukraine, they've proven to be perilous, but mario polls fate. it seems certain to night me, despite maybe 2000 ukrainian soldiers refusing to surrender, the russians are about to take control it is that your assessment is well well, i think that we may be holding an end to this particular back a little early. those 2 and a half 1000 soldiers, which are elements of the, your kind of marines as well as the as of the time in very formidable fight to represent a really big obstacle for the russians. and the us of style plant is several square kilometer as far as i can see of industrial buildings. and it reminds me not only me of another battle in a battle city which was constantly near its end and the defenders held on. and that's the about of stalingrad and particularly the red october steel plant that and that held out for 3 months. now these guys want to hold out that long, but i don't think th

and now lecturers in military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth in the u. k. frank, the people in this report make intercepting russian communications look very easy. is it really well what this speaks to go heart is pull russian equipment, training and culture. and the 1st thing that i need to be able to organize themselves, probably a secure communications that preferably, cannot be intercepted. and in this case, as you'll see, as we saw just that i'm, it is an open source intelligence there. just let alone, highly capable of creating a nato operators. find it very easy to break, break into russian communications systems. and of course, phoning home which we saw that with the 2 happy couple. one of which on i can say it's non hospital for moons. that's the soldier who was asking a girlfriend for commission anyway. if you don't have secure communications either with each other with home, you know, on, on them all, you need to have a culture what's called a need to know culture. and that's far more important than the communications that's a cultural matter.

so have even died from weakness. portsmouth, faith. the writers also meet up at a venue without cause and traffic. look, a part of me really wants to try that, but perhaps not before. sand boarding now, sand boarding is, is extreme sports, which is very similar to snowboarding. actually, it involves riding across or down a sand dune. and what better place to try that then? or maybe not here, perhaps one of the world's largest sunday in the media. i think. yeah. i, it's fun. it's fast, it's messy. sand boarding is growing in popularity and the sport is about to step into the shoes of its big brothers surfing and snowboarding. championships like this one held an acre peru in 2019 bring together pros and fans from around the world. but san boarding also has a hope in africa maybe as a smoke and is a prime location for the adrenaline field sport. and some locals want to make swap of a sand boarding paradise with some of the world's biggest sand dunes located here. san boarding has become a source of income for many like blank or for the 1s

and alex's in military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth. frank, what do we know about this? a miss al? should we be worried? no, not really. analissa been waiting for this vehicle. this rocket to be tested for about a year. park of a decade long program to replace what nato calls the say to him, by the way was made to me pro in ukraine to the other night late eighty's early ninety's. so we're looking for a replacement for this is it? it was tested yesterday. nothing particularly to worry about because it's likely to be, it was accompanied by the expected sabre rattling, but it's really nothing particularly out of the ordinary. there's been a lot of speculation as to whether moscow my turn to tactical nuclear weapons. this is an interconnected continental strategic missile. but what does it say about the nuclear threat? well, it has to be said that there is a nuclear threat arising from ukraine. it's different in scale from that presented by the, the new miss style that was tested yesterday. and it is a serious threat. we speak a lot, don't

now, lecturers in military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth concerning the weapons themselves. they got an old design, but they've been modernized, they've been out of service from in a german. i'm only about 10 years. and many are. we still use an extremely formidable short range, but if you're a pilot, there's nothing you can do about them. if you get near same applies by the way, the british vehicles they sent, but it's not only directly affected, but the possession of it keeps, keeps, it keeps aircraft away, it's a deterrent. but what's significant gerhardt is that the most recent trying to weapons deliveries from the west, not only note or the suite as well, or interesting for another reason. all of these now nato standard items that different from the soviet stuff that east european nations been passing on and will continue to. now there's also training implications in this because you can't just hand over these, these gephart and expect people to use and their radar guided guns are quite complex. it will take a few weeks to train on that. so i will be fairly

franklin, which is a senior lecturer and military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth. i asked him what russia strategy is in easton, ukraine. right now, the probing ukrainian lines. there are 3 or 4 towns that that's fighting as we speak. the ukraine is approved themselves to be excellent at drawing russians into prepared positions and prepared defences. and so they're stuck in fighting in 3 or 4 towns. russians are making a small amount of pros, progress. and charles's report showed earlier, of course, a leverage and no advantage or dance for the moment in artillery to cause his very logistics dependent. so we'll see if this campaign goes on. but the russians can sustain, as they couldn't in the north, the logistics and supply, particularly crucial when when they're making up for lack of manpower with fire power of artillery missiles the you and human rights officers described the war and ukraine as a horror story of violations against civilians, there is evidence mounting of war crimes being committed, and these include indiscriminate shedding and bombing of oxidati
