after a successful trial, 90 waste water treatment sites in england, wales and scotland are to startthe virus, to try to detect local outbreaks before they spread. here's our health editor hugh pym. it's a new approach to tracking down coronavirus, monitoring sewage in local communities. this is an early warning system, as fragments of genetic material from the virus can be detected in waste water. scientists say its real value is in areas where there might be people who are infected but showing no symptoms. the beauty of this technique is that we can detect people who are in that situation and don't know they've got the virus, but they are still shedding it, and we can still find it in the waste water, and we can find it in advance of there being any positive tests in a catchment. samples from sewage plants reach labs for testing the next day. the results are passed on to local health leaders. in plymouth, an outbreak was detected despite relatively low numbers of people going for tests. data is also shared with national experts at the joint biosecurity centre. the aim is to support

and didn't rule out a similar travel restriction to the one announced in wales. scotland acted first among the nations of the uk in applying tough restrictions. we have done so at a time when our levels of covid—19 although far too high for comfort a re actually lower than the other uk nations. and i believe and expect that this will make a difference. but although we have put in place top measures, we cannot rule out having to go further in the future. for example, the approach to travel being adopted by the welsh government mitigates the spread of the virus from high to low prevalence areas. notjust within each of the four uk nations, but also necessary between the four uk nations needs to be considered here too and is being considered here too. meanwhile at stormont, first minister, arlene foster announced the tightening of coronavirus restrictions in northern ireland including extending the school half term break to a fortnight. talks ran into the early hours of wednesday as ministers tried to reach a compromise on a range of measures, finally agreeing to a package th

tracing systems based on local public health teams, such as in scotland, wales and now in some partsall outperformed the centralised circo system, which has barely reached three quarters of cases and well under two—thirds of contacts. i welcome that local public health teams will now be directly involved in contact tracing in areas of high covid spread. but will the secretary of state now have them lead contact tracing in all areas across england to help get the test trace and isolate system working effectively? matt hancock said the best approach was when local and national systems worked together. meanwhile, the welsh first minister announced a ban on people from uk coronavirus hotspots travelling to wales. mark drakeford said the move was needed "to prevent the spread of infection within wales" and elsewhere in the uk. i've read the paper that accompanied the paper to the prime minister yesterday and that confirms that the data does not constitute definitive proof in favour of a travel ban. in fact, that paper goes one step further and suggests that it should be considered alongsi

moving in from europe and you can see the rain has been gathering really across england and wales and scotlande uk that we have the best chance of at least keeping some dry weather. we have got met office amber weather warnings, though, for wales, the west midlands, south—west england and also across eastern areas of scotland. it is these areas that could see about 120 millimetres of rain up over the higher ground and that really is cause for concern. it is an awful lot of rain. the problem with this rain band is once it has moved in it really isn't going to move very far very fast, with the rain persistent in scotland, england and wales. northern ireland brighter skies for much of the day, maybe an odd isolated shower. temperatures with the cloud and rain about 12—14 , but as the rain shifts away from the south—east we could see some brighter weather here and temperatures maybe around 15 or 16 degrees, but for most of us it is cool, wet and increasingly really windy as well. overnight, we have got more rain to come, the rain turns heavier across eastern scotland, with easterly wind strengthen

moving in from europe and you can see the rain has been gathering really across england and wales and scotlanda few showers for northern ireland, but it is of course the far west of the uk that we have the best chance of at least keeping some dry weather. we have got met office amber weather warnings, though, for wales, the west midlands, south—west england and also across eastern areas of scotland. it is these areas that could see about 120 millimetres of rain up over the higher ground and that really is cause for concern. it is an awful lot of rain. the problem with this rain band is once it has moved in it really isn't going to move very far very fast, with the rain persistent in scotland, england and wales. northern ireland brighter skies for much of the day, maybe an odd isolated shower. temperatures with the cloud and rain about 12—14 , but as the rain shifts away from the south—east we could see some brighter weather here and temperatures maybe around 15 or 16 degrees, but for most of us it is cool, wet and increasingly really windy as well. overnight, we have got more rain to come, the

scotland, northern ireland didn‘t fare too badly on friday with some good spells of sunshine around, some pleasant sunset scenes as well. but for england and wales areas willjoin in with the heavy rain this weekend, including scotland and northern ireland. could cause some transport disruption, some flooding in places, and the winds will be quite a feature too. so for saturday, it looks thoroughly wet to start the day across much of england and wales, eastern scotland, that rain also drifting a little bit further westwards at times. but meanwhile, it will be clearing a little bit from the south—east, so here, we could see some brightness into the afternoon, but it stays windy. south wales into south—west england, those temperatures pretty disappointing — the low teens for most of us, could see 16 in the south—east. but it‘s the rainfall amounts we are most concerned about this weekend. saturday into sunday morning, amber warnings issued for parts of wales, the south—west of england and also for the east and north—east of scotland. areas here, certainly over the high ground, could see in excess of two inches of rain, so flooding is likely to be a

the showers will focus on across western areas, so through northern ireland, western scotland, north—west england, wales the english channel coast. the further east you are, not as many showers, parts of eastern england and north—eastern scotland may well stay dry, gusts could be up to 50 mph for exposed spots in western scotland and a fairly cool feel as well, top temperatures between 10—14. as we head through sunday night, though the showers rattling in from the west, could see a slightly more prolonged spell of rain for a time across western scotland and then as we get into monday, it stays very unsettled, but i think the focus for the showers will shift a bit southwards, so particularly across england and wales, northern ireland seen some as well, but scotland should start to dry out a bit from the north with some spells of sunshine, but it stays fairly cool, 11—14. the area of low pressure that has been with us through the weekend clears away, but things don't really settle down. there is a big blow that will sit to the north—west of the uk and that will drive longer spells of rain through during t

scotland, wales and northern ireland have set up their own schemes.and, on the eve of half term for many, the government is standing firm, but the debate goes on. we can now speak to one of the contributors to the letter, dr max davie from the royal college of paediatrics and child health here in the uk. dr davie is also a community paediatrician. thank you for being with us. why do you feel they need to add your name to that letter and essentially get involved in what many would say is a political decision? i think the reason for the latter is that child food poverty, food insecurity is a public health issue, it has a big impactand we public health issue, it has a big impact and we have a dated that it can impact and we have a dated that it ca n affect impact and we have a dated that it can affect mental and physical health and we feel it is a valid issue for the college to speak on. saying we are politicising an issue that shouldn't be political, it seems to me to be nonsense because the government has a responsibility to its citizens and we are doi
