been very different. yes. i think everything happens for a reason. i never really fulfil my dream or my potential in the rugby days, but if i knew if i would become a dart player, i'm not too on the issue i would have. and everything happens for a reason. i had another opportunity in a com pletely had another opportunity in a completely different floor. i've achieved a lot over the last past seven years. i am thankful that i have another opportunity and i take an opportunity. from when you step onto the oche for the last few yea rs, onto the oche for the last few years, you onto the oche for the last few yea rs, you start onto the oche for the last few years, you start ruffling a few feathers, the top players in the world, this image, this persona has grown around you. world, this image, this persona has grown around you. you've had it been anita will gary anderson in the past, you beat last night. it got a bit hasty in the semifinals against peter wright. do you see yourself as becoming perhaps of the 80 bill another piece, getting a bit and eat their skin? -- a bill in of the piece? i think i'm already there. the supporters for the past two yea rs, the supporters for the past two years, especially since the grand slam 2018 come hopefully that can be put behind me now and they can just respect that i am a decent player, i'm here to win for a living and win trophies and do a job but i had a few run—ins with gary and peter but with other players, it is just my style of play and some people don't like it but on the other hand, there's a lot of players that play exactly the way i play that might not make i think over the last two yea rs i not make i think over the last two years i will have to deal with difficult situations in the future. and i'm more than prepared to deal with that. but hopefully it can ease offa with that. but hopefully it can ease off a little bit. but for now the short term you get that trophy back to the family, two daughters, will they appreciate it as much as you do? i think the otis when emily does without the little one i don't think she is too bothered. she like to ta ke she is too bothered. she like to take her trophies in and show them off at school. —— i think the oldest emily does. but it will be tough to carry i think. the best arts player in the world. —— best darks player. one of scotland's top young drivers says she'd love to be the first woman to race in formula one. logan hannah has already experienced formula four, and last year she won the prestigious david leslie trophy. and as kheredine idessane reports, she's not the only young scottish motorsports star breaking new ground. iam back i am back of one. i'm 19 and one day i will be a professional racing driver. i'm sammy mitchell, 20 years old

potential, including the only woman to win a scottish formula ford 1600 race. she now has a long list of first and a glass ceiling to shatter. affluent i think is everybody‘s ambition a little bit, to see the guts and the glamour that is essentially the pinnacle. —— glitz and glamour. it would be nice to see a female in f1 and it would be nice to be the want to do it. any reason why that could happen quite a lot i think money. it is a stereotype in the glass ceiling and people being scared to put money into something they're not quite sure about. in terms of driving skills, any reason why you couldn't do it? absolute no difference between myself and another male driver i don't think. when we are in the car, everybody at the same. championship when for sandy mitchell. sandy mitchell is that of the high player. the youngest winner of the british gt three championship. his inspiration? for me it came from watching colin mcrae on the video tapes when i was very young come on the software pretending i was driving when the onboard footage ofjohn. as a gt endurance race lamont stands out as the race in the world i would love to be able to do. can you see yourself as a winner? for sure. at the moment it is a dream but every season you kind of take a step closer to being able to achieve that. i feel like we're on the right path of being to do that. here, somebody else on the right track, the youngest winner of the super sport series, now stepping up to british superbikes and aiming higher self. my overall ambition is to be a will champion. the highest level on motorcycle racing is the motogp championship. i want to aim high. i'm only 19. championship. i want to aim high. i'm only19. i have championship. i want to aim high. i'm only 19. i have a lot opportunity ahead.

lanka, england awaiting the next batch of results to see if they have contained the virus ahead of their test series that starts next week. i will be back on bbc news with an update in the next hour. until then, goodbye. hello. you are watching bbc news with me, ben brown. borisjohnson is set to announce new coronavirus—related restrictions for england, in a televised broadcast at eight o'clock tonight — in an attempt to stem the rising number of infections across the country. the bbc understands the measures — which will include schools being closed again for most pupils , will amount to a lockdown similar to that in march. we'll bring you that announcement in a special programme starting at 7.35. earlier, the labour leader keir starmer told our deputy political editor vicki young there was an urgent need to put the measures in place: have national restrictions and bring them in the forest as soon as possible. those restrictions are not necessary to get the virus back under control, to protect the nhs, which is near breaking point this january, but critically to create the space for the roll—out of the vaccine, that now needs be mission—critical. and if we are asking the british people to be subject to tough national restrictions, and we are, that needs to happen straightaway. the contract needs to be medically vexing programme is rolled up and now as quickly as possible. by that i mean to mea quickly as possible. by that i mean to me a week injanuary and double that in february. —— medical vaccine. we need to be the first country to get the vaccine and to com plete country to get the vaccine and to complete the vaccination programme. that has to be the basic deal but we can't have the prime minister saying in due course. we need it now. that is why i'm calling for today. what does a national lockdown look like to you? people do use that word to mean different things. needs to be back to if you like the spirit of march. where there are a very strong stay—at—home message. you only need to go out. you see lots of people out and about. trains are half—full. we need to go back to march. very strong messaging about staying at home. i'm afraid that the closure of schools is now inevitable. and therefore that needs to be part of that plan come as part of the national player for further restrictions. that means we need to have measures in place to protect working parents, measures in place to enable children to learn at home, andi to enable children to learn at home, and i plan to get to school safely reopened again and that goes back to vaccination, they should be mission—critical now. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has already announced new restrictions — in a statement to the scottish parliament this afternoon. from midnight tonight, people in scotland face a new lockdown — a legally enforceable order to stay at home and work from home, with limited exceptions. the rules will apply across the scottish mainland until at least the end of january. all schools, which had been due to re—open later this month, will stay closed until the first of february and learning will take place online. the first minister said she was "more concerned about the situation now than at any time since march last year". and she warned that the new variant of coronavirus now accounts for almost half of new cases — and that without further intervention, hospitals could reach capacity within three or four weeks: let me stress, this is notjust about one single day's numbers. we are now seeing a steeply rising trend of infections. indeed, it is no exaggeration to say i am more concerned about the situation that we face now than i have been at any time since march last year. in the week from the 23rd to the 30th of december, the seven—day incidence of cases per 100,000 of the population increased by 65%, from 136 per 100,000, to 225 per 100,000. test positivity has risen sharply, too. some breaking news about the snp margaret ferrier who was alleged that have broken coronavirus restrictions by getting on a train after a positive covid—19 test result for that we hear she has been arrested, she has been charged with culpable and reckless conduct after an investigation into two cross—border train journeys which she admitted making when she should have been self isolating. she had the web removed after that incident backin the web removed after that incident back in september. police scotland spokesman saying we can confirm that officers today arrested and charged a six—year—old woman in connection with alleged culpable and reckless conduct. —— a 60—year—old woman. in northern ireland, ministers are meeting to discuss further restrictions there. ahead of the meeting, the first minister arlene foster had this to say: unfortunately the advice that is coming to us is very stark. today we had 1801 positive tests and if you look over the last seven days, it's risen from 5000 over seven days to well over 12,000 for those seven days, so there's been a huge increase in the number of people testing positive for covid—19. that is very alarming. and unfortunately we will meet tonight and have some very difficult decisions to take. just to reind you — we will have live coverage of the prime minister's address to the nation this evening with a special programme at 7:35 on bbc one and the bbc news channel. that address begins at eight o'clock. it is expected he will announce and that address a nationwide a lockdown for england with that closure of schools and people told to stay at home or work from home with a possibly can. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. temperatures already dropping out there. widespread frost on the way in icy conditions for some. and for some a you a covering of snow. 0n the borders, a few centimetres of snow could be seen. maybe a dusting over the pennines and snow dona. shower streams continue. rain around the coast and ran to the very far southeast of england and the channel islands. even here particularly across the kent downs in surry hills we could see a slight coating of snow. temperatures holding thanks to the brisk wind. that wind will still be what that's going through tuesday, bringing persistent ban of showers to the southeast and channel islands, or what you showers in northern england into eastern parts of scotla nd northern england into eastern parts of scotland given a temporary coating of snow on the hills. many tomorrow have a dry and bright date tomorrow have a dry and bright date to my best of the sunshine in the west, lighter winds in the northwest, still a stiff breeze from the south and east which will add to the south and east which will add to the windshield making it feel colder than three to five celsius with the just. see you soon. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. the uk's covid threat level is raised to its maximum, level 5 — meaning health services are at risk of being overwhelmed. in an hour's time boris johnson will announce new lockdown restrictions, after repeated calls for him to act urgently. why delay? have national restrictions and bring
