with their parents, and that is quite heartwarming, i think, and this is possible. the proof of the pudding the christmas to do that. will be in the eating, but as i proud that our lad, jamie, has got mention again, i worry about the 5 better every week. thank you. have a million children who are going to and so this year, good weekend. we are going to talk i imagine you have have a delayed start. we have had lots of questions about what your activities are going to be on christmas about strictly. millions of children who, during the eve — it is your big night christmas might look a little of the year, how is covid lockdown, did hardly any learning at different this year, going to affect you this year, but there's one festive staple sa nta ? all, despite the incredible efforts that is definitely going ahead. not too much, because that is the magic of christmas. of many teachers and support staff, it's the strictly come dancing final yes. i'm going to deliver tonight and here are the four all of those presents normally, many schools across the country, and don't worry, they are couples taking to the dance floor, going to come there, we can't have a situation whereby hoping to win the coveted but for social distancing, glitterball trophy. please stay in bed and sleep. children are not learning. we need to keep them in school. we have got children doing exams next year. children doing tests. we have faced an epidemic of educational poverty this christmas, many of us will be with schools shutting doors. we are spending less time with our loved ones than we would like and there # thank god i'm a country boy. are some couples who have been separated asking for a delayed roll—out or a because of border closures and travel bands who solution where perhaps you would are desperate to see start the school day a bit later their partners. ——bans. rather than having millions of tens of thousands of people in this children missing a week or more of situation have rallied together to share tips and advice as well as their own sweet school. the argument of causes that successes and we have met one of them. this is testing on this scale means ryan and jessie

istanbul and in oz. it means that students and then finally the us. teachers will be able to take be all i was seeing all year was just news, just bombarded with covid news, tested rapidly and on a daily basis it was just like this travel is not happening, and necessary. the government are lockdown is getting worse, doing exactly the right thing. my cases are rising. questioning is how it has been that la la land number, one of my so when i started to see other people, real human announced. it has come just before beings, in the same situation, tackling the same challenges, the christmas break. as i say, it's favourites. and being able to ask them just let's speak to two men who know those confusion amongst teaching that dance floor well. straight up on facebook and get staff. before christmas, they were jj chalmers was eliminated in week trying to keep schools open, and now six of this series — a response, then that planted and the former strictly professional the seed and then i could think we we re kevin clifton won the trophy two trying to keep schools open, and now we were saying that 5 million yes, this is possible. children should stay at home and years ago with stacey dooley. thank you forjoining us this their learning be delayed. that is morning. jj, will it be a bit not just their learning be delayed. that is notjust going to cause problems for bittersweet for you?” all those children. it is also going love is not tourism is a grassroots global movement dedicated to cause difficulties for their morning. jj, will it be a bit bittersweet for you? i won't be so families as well because their nervous, so i'm pretty happy that i families as well because their families will have to go back to am getting the opportunity to go and work after christmas. there are of watch the hottest show in town. of to reuniting binational couples course the logistical implications course, i would have loved to have as well. the lack of consideration been there, and i gave it my best, and families who have been for logistical considerations for but it will not stop me from separated by travel bans and border closures enjoying it. you did amazingly well. and shutting testing is further evidence that down the visa processes due to the pandemic their department that might slow to it was very meaningful to meet most people have not done strictly, but we can imagine what it must feel people, even just online, and hear their stories understand the school bus might like. what is it like? it's and also to hear the successes function. perhaps consider a delay absolutely wild, the whole process. so that they can work out a solution it is more than anyone could ever and to collaborate. in which children can still be in really expect, and i've had friends that have done it in the past, and school and not miss vital learning. asi they said the good and bad of it i wake up in the morning school and not miss vital learning. as i mentioned, millions of children and then i'm like let's have missed school during the first all, what to expect, but you cannot do it! let'sjust commit. lockdown, and we cannot have a prepare yourself for it. stepping let's just go for it. so friday morning situation where we keep damaging onto the dance floor, for me, it i booked a flight to croatia, booked to examine a b8b and saturday i'm in children's life felt a real privilege. it is croatia. i would like to welcome situation where we keep damaging child ren's life chances. situation where we keep damaging children's life chances. it is incredibly difficult for teachers you here to zagreb. nerve—racking, but to do something i'm too deep, i'm too and support staff, and what we need so incredible when so many people do isa and support staff, and what we need is a proper and clear tab plan and not even get to do the ordinary committed to this! time to rule it out. and a clear right now felt really special. we arejust seeing pictures. what's i'm either going to go plan of how it is going to be all the way and get there or it's not going to work. administered, whether it is lovely, contestants seem to learn a volu nteers administered, whether it is volunteers or parents. now, it is lot about dancing, but also about being talked about help from the themselves. yes, because it is a armed forces. as a conservative only the night before member of parliament, do you think challenge. it puts you well outside i actually flew to that over the course of the turkey that i'd then your comfort zone, which it check on the website just epidemic, the government has exposed one last time. absolutely did for me. obviously, it i did not get much sleep themselves not having a full grasp last night because i'm pushed me to my physical limits as like everything is running through of how schools work?” my head and everything that could go wrong well, so i discovered things about but when the actual themselves not having a full grasp of how schools work? i think it is notjust incredibly difficult because of well, so i discovered things about not just how my body works but how date came, it wasjust course we are dealing with a like a regular travel day. and once i finally got in, it was national emergency, and the like finally! finally! government are firefighting. the department for education is will my mind relates to that. it is firefighting, but i do think there a huge challenge. at the same time, needs to be much more long—term planning. i also think every effort at the heart of it, it is an amazing should be made, the children have to be made a priority. they have really ivy. at the heart of it, it is an amazing joy, and i am proud of what i did. you should be. kevin, you have struggled over the past months during the lockdown. we are damaging probably had the chance this time to watch it with a critical eye as a these children in public life viewer having been involved for so chances so when making these she is coming here tomorrow for a month, which is amazing. decisions, they should be thinking many years. you made of the can't wait! about how to keep the children in she just has to quarantine standard? it has been really school and not saying that 5 million in england, as is the current rules. which is a bit nicer children should miss coming to incredible. we have been reviewing for her, no school in the first week or so in it every week on my podcast, and jj loneliness in croatia. the new year. what teachers are saying to us is that it simply isn't and amy have been one of our fair. coming to the end of term, favourite couples. i think it's been they need a break like many people. amazing that they've got the show on but this is doing is encroaching on for her. but, yeah, i'm excited. that time. do they deserve to have a in the first place, and that they it should be a fun christmas because of her, so... have made it feel as big and special he, travel show. we are currently at home quarantining and getting rest? absolutely. and i thank all ready for christmas. as strictly always is. and i think it has been a crazy year the teachers and support staff. i but we managed to make it work. the standard has been really we are getting engaged see my own constituents of how they fantastic. i don't know if it is and now spending christmas and new year's whether it is not having an audience together so from the are trying to keep children learning both of us, merry christmas. to care about, more focused on the and are working incredibly hard. i dance itself, but i think the don't understand why this was announced a day or two before standard is incredibly high, and i actually think it is a really open that is all we have schools broke up for christmas. it final tonight. anyone could win it. time for on this week's should have been announced earlier. asi let's talk then about the finalists. programme butjoin us next time should have been announced earlier. as i say, it should have been done when andy's taking a look back ina way as i say, it should have been done in a way to enable all children as at the year that was 2020. far as possible to come to school. a disastrous year for anyone the testing is right. the government does it feel like the fair are right to do that. i also finalists? are they the ones that who loves to travel, should be there but to make jj actually think that teachers should aside, of course. i do feel it is but among all the gloom, be priority for vaccination as well, some moments of inspiration that give us hope for because the less teachers that have the months to come. to missed school the more that we i can't do it! for fantastic couples. whenever i until then, you can find speak with people on social media, all of our recent adventures can keep our children learning. i on the bbc iplayer. don't know why the decision was made who is your favourite, everyone has we're also on social media too just before christmas. ijust think different favourites for different in all of the places. there needs to be a lot more reasons. whether it is the biggest now, from me christa larwood long—term planning and a lot more improved are the biggest surprise, and the rest of the travel show clear guidance for teachers and or the best dancer, whatever it is. support staff, so they don't have to team here in norfolk, take care and we will see go through this time and time again. i think we have four fantastic you in 2021. finalists. it has been so close. the many thanks. dance off last weekend. i'm really

announced on tuesdayjust as was mixed heritage at that time, and many schools were breaking up we have a mixture of sites. one is christmas. yesterday schools minister nick gibb told breakfast be in an office and one and then work test will be administered by space and one on the high street. there was real life black boxer. volunteers, with more details being published next week. what we want to the office has been closed and will do, and that is why we are testing, probably be closed until next march. there were black people in that iraq of course, all staff, or secondary school staff, every week, from the workspace is open and a bit at that time, and they wanted to january onwards, and any contact of quieter. 0n the whole, businesses really imagine a world in which somebody positive will be tested down massively from last year. thank every day for seven days. you know, everyone was involved in high there will be guidance, they will be you very much indeed. reading is a society. it's reflecting the world place where it is notjust shoppers we are living in today, and a training, the logistics for carrying but commuters coming back. lots of out those tests will be volunteers, programme like this goes all around people coming in the offices and the world. they wanted to reflect so it won't be teachers that are carrying out the test. that was nick visiting shops and businesses. they the world. they wanted to reflect the world. they wanted to reflect the world that we are living in. gibb speaking to breakfast. are hoping people will be coming in yes, why not? and it does have a we're joined now by sam henson from national over the weekend to buy what they really modern feel. i have watched a governance association, can for christmas. thank you katie, which represents school governors. couple of the trailers for it. there hejoins us from birmingham. is something about it, yes, it is go and get yourself dry. they all 200 years old, but it feels like it is it could be modern day. yes, isita is it a deliverable? that is a had an umbrella. well done to the really good question. i think the camera operator who was standing absolutely. we had modern music, there in that deluge without an umbrella. not a good day in reading. issue is, the logistics of this, and good luck to anyone heading to reading high street today. the timescale, nobody disagrees with even in the first episode an if ever we needed the fun and frivolity of strictly come dancing — instrumental version of an ariana what we want to achieve, i think it was this year. grande song is playing. it felt the bbc one series comes to a head everybody really wants to get this tonight with four couples remaining. really modern and new. obviously, in comedian bill bailey right. i think the problem is, the and his partner 0ti mabuse the context of this time, which is are the bookies' favourite to lift the glitter ball trophy. very much focused on the patriarchy, and while it was a shorter series than normal, the contestants have fa ct right. i think the problem is, the fact that teachers and leaders, our said they found itjust as sweet. governing boards, were told that the 0ur entertainment correspondent and women's only hope in life is to 11th hour that they are going to colin paterson reports. have to deliver on something that marry. so it is in the context of they don't really have the details after nine weeks, it that time, but it is an exciting new has come down to this. ta ke that time, but it is an exciting new take on it. without giving too much for. there is a huge question over away, you talked about how it was this proposal, we all want to get tonight, four contestants doing three dances each challenging the patriarchy at that to decide who takes home the glitter ball. time, your character is seeking to this proposal, we all want to get this right, it isjust the assert herself and her this proposal, we all want to get this right, it is just the fact nobody knows quite how this will happen. what would you like to see and if it is the comedian donein happen. what would you like to see done in that case? i think we need bill bailey, then at the age of 55, he will be the oldest ever winner. the guidance, so we have got the first iteration of the guidance, i own... she is quite a strong willed think we need more clear direction, john mcfadden was 42 when he triumphed, and bill hopes he has inspired other men character, but in the context of the guidance itself simply suggests in their 505 to give dancing ago. that time that was her only option. if that is the result, she was determined to find a the consequence of me being on the show, then that is wonderful. husband. that was her route. but i think blokes feel a bit schools we need to go to volunteers, self—conscious sometimes. within that she sort of finds particularly, the blokes of my age. herself, and it is a very suggesting governors, and i think we they feel like, oh, i'm going to be saw a real reaction to this interesting evolution of a young called the dad dancer. woman in those times. it is a yesterday, governors and trustees i think, you know, it's me showing across the country over the past that i can get out there and look fantastic opportunity for you. obviously, you have had acting roles a little bit more than just nine months are all hands on deck, before. how did it come about? yes, really wanting to help their schools, doing everything they can, somebody shuffling about. i sort ofjust got an audition but actually, governors and at the other end of the scale, through, as you do. i saw netflix trustees, a lot of them, many of two of the finalists will be the youngest ever winner, and got really excited. i put a tape them will have full—time jobs, you east enders maisie smith is only 19 down, didn't hear for a while. a few know, they aren't teachers, and they months later, i got called in to wa nt to compared to lewis smith who was 23 speak with our showrunner. and it know, they aren't teachers, and they want to help, but they don't when he was the champion in 2012. necessarily have the time and sort of alljust happened quite eve ryo ne necessarily have the time and me and my family, we've everyone wants to help, but like i been fans of the show quickly. it was a little bit said, ithink everyone wants to help, but like i said, i think it is very unclear at since i was literally zero. since i was a baby. this point in time exactly how this amazing. i also then read with is going to work. i think for us the so, to bring the glitter ball home to my family, that would... shonda reimes, and rege—jean. the real concern is the huge degree of it would mean a lot because i know pressure that this is placing on how proud they would be. school leaders, you know, who have had such a difficult time, like and singer hrvy is still only 21. next thing i knew, rehearsals, dance eve ryo ne had such a difficult time, like everyone has, but what we are now his name may be short of vowels, training, horse riding training. going to end up with is head but he is not short of nifty teachers, leaders across the footwork, and has extra motivation country, working across christmas there is rege—jean. better late than day, boxing day, to put these plans to win as today is a special day. never. tell us how it was playing in place. so we need some direction, your role. we were just talking we need to know what resources are it is my nan and grandad's 60th about the fact that the story is diamond jubilee wedding anniversary. going to be available to support this, and we need the guidance. the they've watched every single strictly. every single show. government has said that schools can they've not missed it. old, but it is so modern. never missed a show since about the fact that the story is old, but it is so modem. the the beginning so i said to my nan, earliest conversations i had before hire agency staff in order to do it if required, and they will be genuinely, if i win, and i get a glitter ball, refunded that money. does that help? you can put it in your signing on was about how much space we had to run into here. there are house by the fireplace. so many new things to bring in. the line—up is completed absolutely, it helps. any help in by the reality starjamie laing there are 200 years and four or five who was supposed to compete last waves of feminism to begin with. if terms of resources is obviously a year but got injured right good thing. that's not the issue. i you're talking about jane austen, think the issue is the fact that before the long show. the bronte sisters, this is if he wins, he would also school leaders and governing boards be a record—breaker, we re school leaders and governing boards revolutionary stuff. so i think it were told yesterday, the day before having been in for dance offs. is important to keep revolution and in the history of the show, being innovative. so refreshing to no finalist has survived that many. yesterday, the day before pupils hear a broke up for christmas, that this being innovative. so refreshing to heara man being innovative. so refreshing to hear a man say that as well, needed to be delivered from that if we're totally honest, first week back in january rege—jean. hear a man say that as well, rege-jean. you do what you can. you needed to be delivered from that first week back injanuary and needed to be delivered from that first week back in january and it's and this is taken me until week the fact that there is very little have to do your homework. we are so time now to put those plans into nine to understand this, probably not the best dancer. grateful for you joining place, we don't even have the full sometimes i thought have to do your homework. we are so gratefulfor you joining us. i'm i was but probably not, afraid we have reached the end of guidance yet. it would be absolutely but what we do bring is our work the programme, but we wish you all ethic and we really go for it, the programme, but we wish you all great if we can get the resources. the best on christmas day when it so yes we can do it to the best comes on stream netflix. enjoy your we all want this, that's not under viability, but at the same time what was going to go saturday. goodbye. question, it's the fact that we and do isjust go, yeah, don't have the direction that we it's the last time we get to dance need at the moment. i'm really together so this is the moment worried about the perception that you just go out and have fun. this announcement has created as it's been a strictly series with the difference. a shorter run, no blackpool, no bruno, but one well. we've ended up in a situation thing has not changed. tonight, as always, it is not where the public are led to believe the judges who will decide the winner but the viewers. that schools have been told they colin patterson, bbc news. have to do this, that they have been resourced to do this, when actually, such a high standard, isn't it? i'm if you look at the guidance,... so excited. some people are worried that something will be lost this year, not having a studio audience, resourced to do this, when actually, if you look at the guidance, . .. it's an offer, exactly. exactly, yeah. we but actually we have needed it so need to get the fact clear and we much. later on, we'll be looking ahead to the final with jj chalmers — need to get the fact clear and we need to get the fact clear and we need to understand how this is going to be resourced. i think the pilot who was the sixth contestant to be that we've been hearing about and eliminated from this year's series — and also with kevin clifton, which have been very successful used the former strictly professional dancer who won it back in 2018 with stacey dooley. the army, they used other agency that's at around 9:40. ina minute in a minute we will be sticking speaking all things coronavirus with staff from other places, but we're a regular gp. stay with us. not sure yet what support is going to be available so that really is the big? —— the big question mark. if it is not ready in time, the staggered start for schools in england were only years 11 and 13 go back to secondary school, the exam this is bbc news with the latest hello, this is breakfast with headlines for viewers in the uk yea rs back to secondary school, the exam years back and all the others have a and around the world. rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. week of remote learning before they go back,

causing idea of putting year 7, eight, nine, faster transmission. much closer, and all mixing in whatever, into remote learning. and households is banned. they also it comes as more than doesn't

subject to the toughest try and break the chains of restrictions in tier 3. transmission among young people. americans are to get a second based. tier 3 for you this morning. coronavirus vaccine, as the moderna injection is approved absolutely. such a good point and let's not forget the pressure this in the us. italy imposes a nationwide lockdown places on parents around the country over christmas and new year as it andi places on parents around the country and i think it came as a surprise to it's confusing for some people, tries to halt the sharp rise them as well. people were trying to isn't it? obviously, different parts in coronavirus infections. figure out how this affects their translation: we must intervene of the uk have different but i assure you this plans for january. i restrictions. christmas is coming up, where it all changes again. what figure out how this affects their plans forjanuary. i think the key is the simple, best advice from a thing is as a sector we need to work doctor? good morning, that is a very together and the government needs to good point, roger. we are constantly be speaking to school leaders. they need to be speaking to the people that represent school in a way that having to check the rules, aren't this can work. we've been calling we?! having to check the rules, aren't we? i think it's really important to start with. just take a moment, the this can work. we've been calling this for some time. we want this to work. there is nobody that i've spoken to that doesn't think that bbc website has a fantastic summary of what you can and cannot do, and this in principle is a good idea. as it is really of what you can and cannot do, and it is really important of what you can and cannot do, and it is really importantjust of what you can and cannot do, and it is really importantjust to familiarise yourself with what that is now. and there will be some i've said and i don't mean to sound like a broken record, but it is the timing that is pretty much the changes. you are absolutely right, problem. and actually, everyone going into the christmas period, where again we face new rules, i across who is working for schools, the volunteer force governors and think it is confusing people. so ta ke think it is confusing people. so take some time, look at the rules, trustees who have been supporting they are different now in different their school leaders over the last parts of the uk, to add a different year, they want nothing more than to level of complexity, but it is get this right and i think that's really important that we are cautious as we enter the christmas the key thing, we don't want to period and stick to those rules. and undermine this process. we when we say stick to the rules, it is not that you have to max out appreciate your time and thank you very much for talking to us. let's those rules, don't think you have to be seeing all the households you can, we really still have to rein it checkin in and do as little as possible. but very much for talking to us. let's check in with matt now for the big familiarising yourself with the week ahead. what are we seeing rules, i think that is the key. behind you? some swollen rivers wherever we are, we have all lived yesterday and wales. we had up to three inches of rain fall in some for so many months with restrictions in one form or another. but there is areas. it is parts of wales and a light at the end of the tunnel now western england with a number of flood warnings in place this with the vaccine. i guess, as a morning, the bbc website has all the details of the good news is, ok, doctor, you would say it is not the we're going to be seeing rain and time to throw away all the hard they will be in the form of showers work. completely. though we do have they will be in the form of showers they will be longer dry spells in between. the rain won't be as wet —— as persistent. the band of rain that this vaccine, we have been vaccinating many people in the last week, it is going to take quite a brought the rain yesterday, you while to vaccinate all of our consider speckled nature of the cloud following in. gaps in between vulnerable, and add onto that we are so there will be some long, dry on the depths of winter. we always spells in between. still have the re m na nts of knew the virus was going to be worse spells in between. still have the remnants of that rain band. at the moment this is the rain which is in at this time of year, so now is not the time to let your guard down and eastern england and will clear away from north sea coasts. turning dry start flexing the rules. it is more and bright and a few showers will important than ever now. now we have follow and then another dry spell and another batch of showers. it will be one of those days whether to be cautious. i heard a great showers will come and go. probably most frequent in western areas where metaphor yesterday, that somebody they could heavy. some gusty winds said the majority of accidents that happen among mountain climbers is as well. these are average speeds we coming down the mountain. we are on could expect today. dust wise we our way down, but we still have a could expect today. dust wise we treacherous way to go. a good could expect today. dust wise we could expect 40 or 50 mph, particularly across pallets of wells metaphor indeed. a lot of stuff in and the south—west. —— gust wise. the papers this morning, a lot of temperature is a little bit down on talk about this new strain of yesterday's highs and nine and 12 coronavirus. is that a big concern? degrees. a slightly cooler night to come tonight. the showers keep going with the heaviest around the coast. well, we have known that there have most frequent probably across been multiple strains developing south—west scotland and into the over many months. that is being west of wales but as i said, some gaps in between the top some starry monitored. i would say, skies and in those starry skies over many months. that is being monitored. iwould say, it over many months. that is being monitored. i would say, it is not temperatures will drop the furthest, particularly my area of expertise, to three orfour temperatures will drop the furthest, to three or four celsius in the but i did look into it. chris whitty countryside at the lowest was up should be frost free to start was confident in saying there is no sunday. for sunday, the same story, evidence it is a more variable and sunshine and showers was a different day tomorrow. the show is probably strain, and most importantly it can not as frequent or heavy. they will be detected from our testing. and it be bigger gaps between the showers. appears that it will also be showers most likely in the west of scotland, turning wintry over the affected by our immunisations. those hills and temper dropping a little are all things to be aware of at the bit. later in the day towards moment. i do not think it changes channel islands and cornwall, some thicker cloud arriving. that will anything. it will be something that will be monitored. we just

and northern people should be unduly concerned ireland. northern scotland will be wintry over the hills. temperatures about in the medium term. we do not he continuing to drop. a brief lift fully know yet if we will have was the south—east corner. then the two... with flu, we have a slightly charts for christmas week because of the one thing to watch really is different vaccine each year. because into wednesday, of course, the 23rd, it mutates. and that is why we have could be a travel day for many of to immunise people each year. we do you. the dip —— potentialfor a not know what the situation is going nasty area of low pressure to develop with rain and strong winds. to be going forward. whether it is we will keep you updated but is that clear through, christmas eve, something we will have to have as christmas day, quick look at those. dry, reasonably sunny, for the buck our annual immunisation schedule, we —— for the vast majority was up maybury wintry showers over the do not yet know. just a thought on hills in scotland. —— may be wintry the hospitals. where you are in berkshire, now in tier 3, you are showers. it will be frost rather obviously still open, you are still than snow. treating people, immunising people matt, thank you. i would say that is in the gps practice as well, but what is the situation across the wider nhs? of course, we have been my favourite christmas weather. frosty, dry. during this pandemic we've become used to seeing images of hospital staff covered under huge amounts of strain this head—to—toe in masks, gloves and gowns. but while ppe is vital for keeping year, haven't there? we are really everyone safe — it's also creating a huge amount of plastic waste. doing our utmost to keep things now the royal cornwall going as much as possible. i think hospitals trust has started recycling the ten—thousand masks it uses every day. we have seen some information coming roz davies is from the trust — this was her idea — out this week about people getting and shejoins us now. some delay in their cancer treatment, which is very worrying. also, of course, there are people who have been waiting for a long time for operations, elective all lovely to see you. a brilliant surgery, and that is very distressing for them. and in idea. some would say quite an oughtn't point about the cancer obvious one. remind us what happens delays, one thing i am sensing is to those 10,000 masks every day at that we are still seeing people the moment. at the moment, up until coming forward with delayed onset of this point, masks go and are cancer symptoms, so people are presenting with more advanced cancer at the moment. if you have any incinerated so that is a lot of waste that is created. we called a symptoms that could be related to climate emergency probably about two cancer, please come and see us. we months ago and part of that is just have to remember as well, there has recognising that hospitals create a lot of pollution and waste. 0ne been big delays ins screening this recognising that hospitals create a lot of pollution and waste. one of the projects we were doing, we had a year. really important. any company that was coming down to meet symptoms, any concerns, get in touch us company that was coming down to meet us to show us the machine that they with us. really good advice. if you built which disposes of the surgical don't speak to before christmas, have a lovely christmas. thank you wraps that go around the instrument for bringing your expertise to the programme. really important to keep trays in theatre and what they did for us is they explained the looking out for all of those are signs of other illnesses. let's material they use is polypropylene soa material they use is polypropylene so a chance conversation i asked checkin signs of other illnesses. let's check in with mike now. them, i don't suppose you could do anything with these masks, can you? 0bviously anything with these masks, can you? obviously we knew, we go through 10,000 masks a day and each of the we are talking really about indian masks could last up to 450 years which is a crazy amount of time and finals. the lowest ever test score they said yeah, it is made of they've made in a test match, india. polypropylene and maybe they can so they took some off to their factory they may be the third—best test side in wales, processed them and found in the world, but they have set an out they could actually melt them in unwanted record this morning. bowled the same machine so we do have to do out forjust 36 runs. their lowest a bit of engineering and pull the ea rs a bit of engineering and pull the ears off, the little loops, but they can be melted. so they get melted at score to date. england will have to face the bowler next year. indian a high—temperature which kills any bugs, any covert bugs or any other second innings collapsed in two that might be the masks, —— covid. hours. they had been leading in this match after the first innings. and it melted down to a australia won by eight wickets. so polypropylene state, its original form, and then we get big blobs much reaction on social media. which are then taken away and turned in to other products like car "well, what a bowling display... " bumpers or toolboxes, pillboxes, objects like that which is really great news because things aren't going to be incinerated or into landfill so it's really great news well, humour in defeat. and really exciting for us. we're really pleased. really exciting so until this point, could everybody assume that polypropylene was not recycla ble assume that polypropylene was not recyclable and that was it and it had to become landfill for literary centuries? they knew that they could there we are. uk sport has warned that british medal hopes in 2024 repurposed it, it just centuries? they knew that they could repurposed it, itjust wasn't used, they didn't see masks as something that you could melt, so the machine could be affected by a shift in its approach. plans have been outlined to reduce the funding for some of had actually been around for some time, it wasjust had actually been around for some time, it was just that they hadn't the more successful and established thought about masks could be melted sports, like rowing, in favour of and it was the same material. so trying to get people involved in you, your hospital trust is one of others, like skateboarding and so many across the uk and in april one billion ppe items were delivered surfing. this system is still about to the nhs stop is the potential event for this to be rolled out a winning. it really is still about lot more widely so that much more of great success. the belief is that longer term, and we are not talking these materials are a absolutely. massively long term, we will have i for masks, this is amazing. although we can do this in cornwall, we hope think most birds and people doing it that other hospitals will see what we're doing and follow suit. when it better. the commitment behind this be great if our community hospitals, decision is to increase success across the board. our nursing homes, gp practices and dentist, we could all take their masks, being the bigger organisation, and help them, too. and then like communities, we can actually solve the problem and it gives everyone a real boost. in the liverpool manager saying he not cornwall we had a vaccination really ha p py the liverpool manager saying he not really happy with the number of programme that is in full swing so substitutes that would be allowed on one hand we got the vaccination from january. yes, i think this is programme and on the other hand we the second or third time that he has are fighting covid back with disposing the masks safely for raised this. currently it is three, supper cornwall it is brilliant and he wants five. quite a few people eve ryo ne supper cornwall it is brilliant and everyone can do this and it is the best pa rt everyone can do this and it is the best part —— best part about it. pointing out that he hasn't used everyone can do it. presumably it substitutes in the recent game has been a difficult part —— against spurs. it is one of those debates i think we are going to continue to hear a lot about, and he difficult time for you and... yes, is particularly vocal on that issue. we will be talking today about liverpool taking on bristol palace, thatis and we love cornwall, it is a liverpool taking on bristol palace, that is the other game in the premier league. we have also got the beautiful county. give it a few months, well, a few months... not to premier league. we have also got the see masks on the side of the roads premier league's newest boss on the and in our hedges and beaches and programme. two and a half years since he left everton. and also, coastal parts. knowing that everyone can do this, it is a really good boost for everyone. the best ideas steve bruce... are always the most simple ones. many thanks, roz davies from the royal cornwall hospital trust. what is the current level, do you think, of newcastle football clu b ? if you look in the last 18 it has become the new letter, isn't months at the top end it? discarded masks on the floor... of the pitch, joelinton, almiron, wilson, dwight gayle, ryan i know the hospital wouldn't do that, anyway. i heard about this fraser, in that respect i do story on the radio yesterday so i am believe we have improved. excited to see that —— see the so i keep trying to take a judgment on it, to say, "can we push towards the top ten?" pictures. it's going to be difficult, it was called the "tintanic" — because at newcastle at this but when mick stanley decided particular moment is never to build a small boat out of corrugated iron, he might not have realised just going to win the what it could achieve. the retired army major has raised more than 30—thousand pounds premier league — even though i think for his local hospice by rowing i'm very good, i'm not that good. the tin tub 100 miles up and down what we can do in any given day, the chichester canal. sean killick went to see him we can win a game of football, we can win five or six, what could take us cross the finish line. to a cup final. preparation for the final push, we've got plenty more for you as retired major make porches his well. we've got the scottish cup across the chichester canal. quite final. i know it's weird and it's heavy to stop now —— quite happy to decemberand final. i know it's weird and it's december and you final. i know it's weird and it's decemberand you are final. i know it's weird and it's december and you are thinking why on earth is there a cup final in stop now with the weather getting december, this is actually last season's cup final. we are talking cold. my fingers are stiff in the about how celtic have lost four morning but it takes me 1000 strokes of the oars to do one mile so when i games since we came back in august. get into chichester, i will have but they could still win this cup done 105,000 strokes with the oars final against hearts. we will be talking about that. and very excited so maybe that is the reason they are about this. one of the great a bit stiff. for this special occasion, mick made a tiny tender strikers of all time is going to be for a festive friend and live on football focus today. we ten—year—old grandson toby heralded will be hearing from lucy bronze, his arrival with a rendition of what should we do with the drunken who won the fifa best women's player sailor. as supporters and family of the year, and we will be playing welcomed him, too. the limit i think it is wonderful. he is and i have tribute to the formal aston villa enjoyed seeing him having so much fun. has it been difficult because manager, who passed away this week. he has been quite consumed by this? and plenty more to pack in from not really because it is quite good midday today. we will see you are a when he is consumed with something, bit later on. will you be showing i would hate him to be hanging those famous goals? it's quite hard around with nothing to do. i would hate him to be hanging around with nothing to dolj i would hate him to be hanging around with nothing to do. i think he shows great british spirit and to get the rights for those. you are determination. while there is nothing to do, let's do something about it. i think his general talking about the volley? we can attitude, let's get out and raise some money and make this boat, i picture it in our minds. just close think has been fantastic. the tintanic will be auctioned to raise yourayes picture it in our minds. just close your ayes and think about it. have a even more funds for the hospice but good christmas. i was not will there be another campaign for challenging you to a fight earlier major mick? bit of a think over on, iwas challenging you to a fight earlier on, i was pointing out the size christmas. i have a book on history which i'm writing at the moment and difference. the thing is, as many i'll finish that and then perhaps a project early next year and as i people who watch this programme will say, there is life in the old dog know, you are a formidable opponent, andl know, you are a formidable opponent, and i can imagine that even though i yet. so, lots of money raised and would be in there with the big spirits, too. for major mick, it is mission accomplished. swings, i would would be in there with the big swings, iwould probably would be in there with the big swings, i would probably end up... well done, major mick! fantastic, isn't it? what a great bow, he is small and mighty, mike, usually quite talented to build it swings, i would probably end up... smalland mighty, mike, we are in the small and mighty club. and make it float. and also really strong! thousands and thousands of strokes per mile. fantastic, well done. still to come on today's programme: it's not friday. here's matt with a look it's certainly not five to five. but we're still going at the weather. to talk about crackerjack. the madcap show is back for a christmas special. we'll talk to the hosts sam and mark pretty heavy for a time, but it soon in around 20 minutes. clears, and the sunshine comes out you might also see a couple of again. very good morning. there will familiarfaces you might also see a couple of familiar faces getting that treatment. it is on social media at be some big downpours, but it won't the moment. tweeted on the breakfast ta ke be some big downpours, but it won't take long before the sunshine twitter account. it is well worth returns. it is already out across many times of the country. the watching, it will put a smile on persistent rain we have seen, that your face that might explain why the is pushing its way eastwards. the normal two are not on the show this 01:12:10,376 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 morning. watching that at home! gap, is where you will see the sunshine coming through. take a look where the rain is. just clearing away from the eastern coast. there isa away from the eastern coast. there is a batch of showers to work through. there could be a rumble of thunder. showers working across the north—east of england and scotland in the short—term. there are many eastern areas drive for a short while. showers are always more frequent in the west. some heavy with hail and thunder, but some of you will spend more of the day dry than wet. it will be blustery again. these are the average wind speeds. temperatures today from 9—13 c. going into this evening and overnight, starry skies for some of you, but there should be some breezes. particularly for western scotland. note the temperatures tonight. all of us down into single figures. still frost free, but a cooler start to tomorrow morning. a brighter start for eastern areas compared to this morning. but the showers get going again. a similar sort of day, but perhaps fewer showers. temperatures a little bit lower. later in the day, the channel islands and carnival will turn wet. we will see the cloud and rain through sunday night into monday across england and wales. there could be some ground water around. skies will brighten for england and wales, with the exception of the channel islands. scotland and northern ireland always seeing something a little bit brighter. christmas week, all ayes on wintry weather. a few are travelling on wednesday, this is just weather. a few are travelling on wednesday, this isjust one potential thing we can see coming away. heavy rain. that could cause some travel disruption. christmas eve, christmas day, looking lovely. maybe wintry across the scottish hills, but for most it is frosty rather than snowy on christmas day itself. back to you. a quick thought on monday. we are going to talk about an astrological phenomenon on ina about an astrological phenomenon on in a moment. rain to begin with, cloud may hang around in some eastern parts. most will see breaks in the cloud, particularly in the west as we go through the day. that will be crucial, as you are about to let us know. that is great news, because we are very excited about this. you would have to go back 800 years for the last time it was actually visible. we're talking about the "great conjunction" ofjupiter and saturn — as the two planets come together to form a bright light. lucie green is professor of physics at university college london. she joins us from surrey to tell us more. thank you for talking to us. nina is very excited about it. please don't ta ke very excited about it. please don't take it the wrong way, but why should we care about this?” take it the wrong way, but why should we care about this? i think we should care about this. it is an amazing opportunity for people to get out and have a look at what i would say are the two most beautiful planets in the night sky. as you say, we have this conjunction of jupiter and saturn, so when you look at the sky the planets have been approaching over the last few days and weeks, and on monday they are very close together in the sky. so some people might be able to make them out as two objects, but it means that if you have a pair of binoculars or a telescope you will be able to see both planets in the same field of view, and that is great, because saturn has its beautiful rings and jupiter, you will be able to see the galilean moons ofjupiter. will be able to see the galilean moons of jupiter. it will be able to see the galilean moons ofjupiter. it is a great opportunity to go out and admire two spectacles of our night sky, just perfectly placed for us. but those who struggle to visualise it, is astronomer from nasa said who struggle to visualise it, is astronomerfrom nasa said imagine the planet as a runner, from this vantage point you will be able to seejupiter on vantage point you will be able to see jupiter on the inside vantage point you will be able to seejupiter on the inside lane approaching saturn, and finally overtaking on that day. and that is why it is so unusual, isn't it? for them to be so close, but also for it to happen at night. that is right. the overtaking or undertaking can happen at any point in the sky, so the planets can be close together from our perspective or far away from our perspective or far away from the sun from our perspective, so it is great that is happening at night—time. if people want to see it, then you need to go outjust after the sun has set, towards the south—west, roughly in that direction, and that is where you will see the two spots of light very close together. it is easy to find. it is also a great opportunity, because it does not matter if you have light polluted skies, what is important is a good view to the south—western horizon, because the planets will be quite low down on the horizon. if you outstretched your arm, go the horizon. if you outstretched yourarm, go outaround the horizon. if you outstretched your arm, go out around 4:30am and your arm, go out around 4:30am and you will be able to see this undertaking happening. jupiter takes 12 years in its orbit around the sun and saturn takes 30 years, so jupiter is moving more quickly and has caught up with saturn and is about to do its undertaking. there is some suggestion that this may have happened 2020 years ago, and it may have been this great conjunction that explains the star of bethlehem? that's right, and it's easy to understand why that could have been in the case, or why this kind of event is so captivating, because when you go out and have a look, they are bright. jupiter is a bright planet and it stands out in the sky. and because it is a rare event to see, it becomes significant. so people looking at the stars would have noticed these two objects coming together over time and forming this bright spot in the sky. that's right, it is one of those ideas out there, that a conjunction like this could have been the star of bethlehem. there is also other theories as well, perhaps a comet, a supernova. if people go out and have a look, i think you will see why it sparks and has sparked an interest over many generations. and the timing is especially magical, isn't it? is it something you willjust see? a couple of weeks ago, i was walking home and you could just to see mars there. will it be even more obvious than that? it will be. jupiter and saturn are the two planets, and it will be obvious. jupiter is a bright planet and they will be very close together. i would recommend going out at 4:30am. do not leave it too long. the planets are set by about 6am or so. you can go out tonight, sunday night, tuesday night. the nights coming up. but look towards the south—west after sunset. many thanks. since 1859, the loughborough bellfoundry has cast more than 25,000 bells and was at risk of being permanently lost. just in time for christmas, the foundry has been saved. 0ur reporterjodie law has been to visit. bells chime. there are taylor bells literally all around the world. wherever the sun is shining, you can hear a taylor bell. with its rich history in bell making, taylor's bell foundry in loughborough has secured its future with an early christmas present — a grant of almost £3.5 million from the national lottery. it will be used to carry out repair works on the grade two star listed building and improve the visitor experience. repair the roofs, repair the guttering — where we have got walls trying to fall over, it will repair that. but the big thing of course, it will help us invest in the tourist part of the function here. we have a lot of tourists around every year. thousands of bells have been cast, turned and finished here for over 160 years. as britain's last remaining bell making facility, the team here are now looking forward to training a new generation of bell makers. craft skills here are listed as skills at risk. we have to train up apprentices because this is the last place you can learn these skills, and the last place that can perpetuate them as well. it's a very important site, and it's an important part of our heritage. and helping to support the company to remain on site and use the building that it's been in for a long time will not only mean that the skills can continue into the future but also that we can support tourism in the area, with the museum another investment. the works will begin next year. fantastic. well, it's not friday and it's not five to five — but it is time for crackerjack now. the madcap show returned to our screens earlier this year. many of you will remember it for many years back. now there's a christmas special featuring a couple of faces which will be familiar to breakfast viewers. we are going to give you three seconds, and your time starts now. merry christmas, everyone. go on. keep going, keep going, keep going. i can't hear you, charlie. keep going. nearly there. hey, charlie. is your second name stick? i think they prepared that line. they are both still washing their hair this morning, that's where they are. let's speak to the presenters of crackerjack, cbbc duo sam and mark. they were great sports. they really we re they were great sports. they really were great sports. charlie properly got covered. he looked up, didn't he? mark, tell us a little bit about what is expected in the programme. well, the christmas special. we've got guests on, we've got becky hill. we've got steve royle, who was a britain's got talent finalist. we've got loads of sketches and new games. it isa got loads of sketches and new games. it is a lot of fun. and for you to, you are too young presumably to remember crackerjack the first time around. how much of the old format are you bringing into this? i'm 34 years old, so crackerjack was last on tv 36 years ago. i didn't watch the original, but i remember it. people talk about it. you know the name, crackerjack, which is why it is so amazing when we were asked to present it. a lot of the old school games, double or drop, which a lot of people remember, there is a new revamped version of that. and the crackerjack pencil. they are back and they are super—sized. crackerjack pencil. they are back and they are super-sized. mark, that was going to be my next question. do they still get to get a crackerjack pencil. for viewers of a certain generation, this is fantastic. but for older viewers, ed stewart, the people that were involved in the programme back then, they had a huge pa rt programme back then, they had a huge part in programme back then, they had a huge pa rt in lots programme back then, they had a huge part in lots of people's childhoods. massively. as sam said, it was an absolute honour to be asked to revive this format. it had not been on tv for years, so what we did, for the first series, we invited them all back to see what we were going to do with it. and they were really happy with what we did. so hopefully, fingers crossed, we can do itjustice. we have come back for a second series so we must have been doing something right. sam, this time of year is all about live performances, you guys have taken pa rt performances, you guys have taken part in pa nto performances, you guys have taken part in panto in the past. how difficult has it been notjust to get it done but retain an atmosphere thatis get it done but retain an atmosphere that is relaxed and fun and inclusive and keeps the kids laughing? i must admit, it was tricky. the biggest thing for us was that when we filmed the first series we had a live studio audience, may be about 200 families in the audience. so straightaway, even though in the edits they have put the sound of the audience on, so you wouldn't know that there was not an audience there when we filmed it, all of the performers, the guests, we all had to perform as if there was an audience. and it was really tricky. but it'sjust brilliant. they have done such an amazing job in the edit. as you guys know, it is really tricky, especially to film tv shows and make it as safe as possible. but everybody was unbelievable. every precaution was taken. it is such a family christmas show. next wednesday, quarter past nine, it really is. there is something really simple and childish about watching someone get gunge to. even further back, the custard pies that got chucked about, if you could gunge anyone, i had it done to me once, who would you deem who would your first choice be? you have put me on the spot. there are a few people i would like to... let us say sam. guess what he is going to say. we can get your answer, then. to be honest, anyone who is willing to come on the show and be gunge to. especially when people from tv really get involved, it is lovely. they took it well. i'm a massive fan ofjamie 0liver, they took it well. i'm a massive fan of jamie 0liver, someone they took it well. i'm a massive fan ofjamie 0liver, someone who like that would be amazing to see. dan walker. we shall tell him. thank you, guys. thank you both very much indeed. it is on bbc one, 915, 01:28:50,308 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 wednesday morning.
