Before i set out these decisions in more detail i want to on the Phone Ordering Officials tougher change. Yeah, it has been in georgia to change the Election Result. Ta ke decisions in more detail i want to take the opportunity to explain in clear the current dear microsystem some detail why they are so was not doing enough to contain the virus and since the Prime Minister necessary. In the past few weeks appeared on andrew marr yesterday it was clear for the restrictions were there have been two significant game coming it was clear at the changers in our fight there have been two significant Game Changers in ourfight against there have been two significant Game Changers in our fight against the virus. One is the approval vaccines, current tier system was not doing enough. Boris johnson appeared and it is hugely positive. That current tier system was not doing enough. Borisjohnson appeared at the hospital this morning where the offers the way out of this pandemic. Oxford vaccine was bigger administered and he said further the Prime Minister will make the other, the new faster spreading restrictions were coming in due a televised address to the nation course. We have already got a lot of variant of the virus is a massive at eight oclock this evening to set out further steps to deal with blow. Possibly the most simple way the country in tier 4, some in tier rising coronavirus cases in england. Of explaining the challenge that we 3, weve been waiting to see the face right now is to compare it to a the House Of Commons has been impact of the tier 4 measures on the race. In one line we have vaccines recalled to sit on wednesday. And ourjob is to make sure they can virus and it is a bit unclear still run as fast as possible and that is at the moment. But if you look at lets take a look at what we know. Why the government will do everything that we can to vaccinate the numbers, there is no question we the uks coronavirus threat level will have to take tougher measures which is different to people as quickly as possible. I englands system of tiers will say more about that later. In and we will announce those in due has been increased to the highest the other line is the virus, which course. Ministers have spoke to officials level level five which means there is a material asa the other line is the virus, which as a result of this new variant has all day here in westminster and risk that Health Care Services within the last half an hour or so will be overwhelmed and a lockdown begins. Just learnt to run much faster and it comes as Nicola Sturgeon has most definitely picked up pace in numberten within the last half an hour or so in number ten spokesperson said the speed and spread of the new covid introduces a national in the past couple of weeks. To lockdown for scotland, variant led to rapidly increasing where people will be ordered to stay ensure the vaccine wins the race it at home and schools is essential to speed up vaccination case numbers, the Prime Minister is closed for a month. Clear for the restrictions, further but in more positive as far as possible. But to give it steps must be taken to stop the rise news, the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine the time it needs to get ahead we protect the nhs and save lives. He roll out started today. Must also slow the virus down and the Health Secretary described it will set those steps out to the because it is now spreading faster as a Pivotal Moment. That means even tougher restrictions our Political Correspondent are necessary. The evidence is now country at eight oclock. People will see why i waiting until eight Ben Wrightjoins us now. Oclock, we have many schools in we will hear from borisjohnson at compelling that the new variant is chaos, some clarity, clarity is eight oclock this evening, is it up compelling that the new variant is up to 70 more transmissible than something that has been lacking a inevitable he will announce an previously circulating strains and lot. And he has been under pressure england wide lockdown . That seems to that it may add as much a 0. 7 to the be where we are heading. The to act immediately rather than televised address to the nation r number. According to recent pcr waiting for further considerations during the evening is an unusual thing for a Prime Minister to do, i test sa m ple r number. According to recent pcr test Sample Analysis it appears the think this will be the third since in whitehall. You have labour who new variant already accounts for almost half of all new cases in the start of this pandemic, that yesterday called for a pretty scotland. That increase and faster immediate lockdown in england and underscores the gravity of the they say the government has dithered crisis and a virus that is clearly spread is undoubtedly driving the again about pulling the lever to outpacing the current set of rules very serious situation that we now tighten restrictions further. As the and the government has in place. Prime minister said in that clip face. Todays case numbers, 1905 new they wanted to consider further how this new toughened tiered system was introduced in november after the impactful the tier 4 restrictions cases with 15 of tests being have been in england so far. We do autumn lockdown, the three tiers was positive, illustrates the severity not know what the Prime Minister extended to four in the run up to and urgency of the situation. No new will say later, we heard from Nicola Christmas and it is is being sturgeon where there is now a stay deaths were reported today but that extended again because this new at home order in scotland, what with is because yesterday was a sunday variant of coronavirus is putting and Registration Offices were the Prime Minister do . Is it simply huge pressure on the nhs. The prime largely closed but since i opted the extending the current tier 4 across minister visited the hospital today where the new Oxford Astrazeneca parliament for christmas, 289 deaths england to incorporate areas have been recorded in our daily currently in tier 3 or does he go vaccine was being administered and this is what he said about the need figures, reminding us of the much further, perhaps introducing measures looking much more like the continuing grief the pandemic is for further restrictions. Weve been lockdown that we saw in march . Be in causing. Let me stress this is not waiting to see the impact of the no doubt, officials and ministers just about one single days numbers. Tier4 are very no doubt, officials and ministers are very worried about what theyre waiting to see the impact of the tier 4 measures on the virus and it we are seeing a steeply rising trend seeing and folding. Hospitals are at isa tier 4 measures on the virus and it is a bit unclear still at the moment the same capacity that they were but i think if you look at the of infections. It is no exaggeration to say i am more concerned about the last april, the virus is numbers there is no question will exponentially spreading. Reminding have to take tougher measures and we situation that we face now than i will announce those due course. Have been at any time since march people about good behaviour and last year. In the week from the 23rd social distancing is simply not the Prime Minister has been under enough which is why at number ten pressure not least from keir starmer to the 30th Of December the borisjohnson are going further this on this, calling for tougher seven day incidence of cases per evening. Staying on the wire clarity measures. Yes, keir starmer said hundred thousand of the population we just heard nicola yesterday within 24 hours there evening. Staying on the wire Clarity Wejust heard Nicola Sturgeon, saying stay at home we have just should be a new National Lockdown in increased by 65 . From 136 per heard from Nicola Sturgeon. It was a england. I think that meant as far clear message. Is it a coincidence as he was concerned effectively 100,000 to 225. Test positivity has just a couple of hours agojeremy extending tier 4 to the whole of risen sharply as well. The next hunt issued a very strong tweet update on the numbers of patients in england. A huge number of people are saying we need to take immediate action . I bake intervention from a already living under tier 4 hospitals and Intensive Care will be restrictions, eight in ten. Keir published tomorrow. I would expect former Health Secretary and prominent voice on the tory these to show nationally the total starmer was saying at the minimum number of Covid Patients in hospital backbenchers saying there is no that needed to be extended and is close to the april peak. In some further time for thinking about this clearer messaging was needed around and that will have fed into the staying at home. We await to see boards the pressure is already very thinking in no doubt. Number ten do what happens but this is what keir real. For example in terms of not want to look sluggish. Starmer said this afternoon to try throughout the crisis there has been Hospital Beds Nhs Ayrshire And Arran to keep pressure on the prime a perception in parts of westminster minister. The virus is out of is at 96 of its Covid Capacity and that number ten has perhaps been control. Anybody can see that. The playing catch up to the other three other Health Boards, borders, tiered system clearly is not working Greater Glasgow and clyde and nations of the uk and i think they lanarkshire are above 60 of their and we all know tougher measures are do not want that perception to kick necessary and so capacity. The number of people in in again which is why we will see and we all know tougher measures are necessary and so i say to the Prime Minister dont say in due course, Intensive Care is still significantly lower than april which quite a Ratcheting Up of measures of course partly reflects the fact this evening because as i said this why delay . Have National Restrictions and bring them into treatment of covid has improved is an exponential and dramatic force as soon as possible. Those significantly since last spring. Growth in this new variant of the even so, the total number of restrictions are now necessary to virus and the question is whether get the virus back under control and patients in Intensive Care in scotla nd patients in Intensive Care in the planned School Closures that are to protect the nhs which is at near scotland is already above normal Winter Levels and all main line pencilled in forjanuary the 18th in breaking point and, critically, Health Boards have exceeded their england will now also have to be create the space for the roll out of normal Intensive Care unit capacity. Scrapped as a much fuller lockdown the vaccine. That now needs to be ta kes scrapped as a much fuller lockdown takes effect. Ben, good to see you, mainline Health Boards. It is thank you very much. Mission critical. And if we are important to be clear people in asking the british people to be hospital and Intensive Care are now subject to a top national are likely to have been infected ten restrictions, and we are, that needs lets get more on those days to two weeks ago, meaning these restrictions in scotland. To happen straightaway, then the from Midnight Tonight, numbers reflect what the level of people there face a new contract needs to be the vaccine lockdown to try to contain the spread of coronavirus. Programme is rolled out now as quick new cases was around two weeks ago. It will be legally enforceable given the number of cases has to stay at home and work from home, as possible cof national with limited exceptions. Restrictions. I mean that 2 million increased significantly since then the rules will apply across the scottish mainland that means we can expect to see until at least the end of january. Each week in january and double that all schools, which had been due significantly increase pressure on to re open later this month, in february. We need to be the first the nhs over the course of this will stay closed until the 1st month. Contingency plans remain in of february and learning country to complete the vaccination will take place online. Outlining the new plans programme, we cannot have the prime place to double and treble icu in the scottish parliament, the First Minister said it was no minister saying in due course, we exaggeration to say she was more need that now which is why im capacity if necessary and the nhs concerned about the situation Louisa Jordan is available to help now than at any time calling for this today. Meet demand as it has been doing in since march last year. We will see from the Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned that the new variant of coronavirus what his latest thinking is about now accounts for almost half recent months. 12,000 patients schools, he is clearly keen they try attended their four scans and of new cases and that without further intervention, outpatient appointments, nearly 5000 hospitals could reach capacity to stick to their reopening schedule within three or four weeks. Staff and students have been trained our scotland correspondent there and it is currently used for Alexandra Mackenzie joins me and get secondary schools opening by now from glasgow. January the 18th but again he said covid vaccinations. Nhs services are this morning that would be looked at coping at present although the pressure on front line staff is in light of emerging evidence. Nicola sturgeon said this was not labour have said it is highly likely going to be popular but she has no considerable. Already in some areas schools will have to close. Nicola choice. This was a very bleak the position is fragile and getting sturgeon said schools will not more challenging. If the rate of message from the First Minister. A reopen in scotland until february. Increase in numbers we have seen in very brittle start to 2021, not the the past two weeks was to continue that is something parents will be message that she wanted to deliver. Unchecked there would be a real risk looking at the very keenly as the of the nhs being overwhelmed even she spoke about our race between the Prime Minister speaks to the nation with Contingency Plans. Were this evening. All right, ben, thank virus and the vaccine but she said you very much indeed. Modelling suggests without further the virus was beginning to run some news just you very much indeed. Some newsjust coming in intervention we could breach you very much indeed. Some news just coming in from Northern Ireland where the stormont inpatient covered Macro Capacity faster and faster. Today there were within three orfour executive will meet this evening to inpatient covered Macro Capacity within three or four weeks inpatient Covid Capacity. The 1905 cases and this is causing more sharply increasing number of cases discuss possible further coronavirus and more concern for the nhs, she means many more people becoming ill restrictions for Northern Ireland in the future. The Stormont Executive and dying. All of that explains why said currently in the nhs is coping meeting this evening in northern we have to act quickly and ireland to discuss more restrictions but it is incredibly fragile. She also said the number of covid there. Decisively. The situation in other parts of uk workers numbers are as weve heard that the covid threat patients in hospital at the moment level is to be increased is very close to the april peak and already much higher than here and to five, the highest level. The contribution of the new variant she said we are at a very dangerous this is different to the tier system is greater shows what may lie ahead although it was announced if we do not. Currently we estimate with considerable fanfare point in this pandemic. But let me stress this is notjust ministers have tended not we are possibly about four weeks about one single days numbers, we behind the position in london and to reference the threat level frequently, so what exactly the south east of england. The rapid are now seeing a steeply rising does that mean . Exhilaration in london began when it trend of infections and it is no last may the government announced that the joint was at about 160 new cases each week Biosecurity Centre has the task of recommending exaggeration to say i am more what the alert level should be. Concerned about the situation that the Prime Minister said it per 100,000 people, the level we face now than i have been at any would help decide how scotla nd per 100,000 people, the level scotland was at one week ago. London tough social distancing measures should be. Is now seeing 900 new cases each there are five alert levels time since last march. In the week five being the highest and level one the lowest. Week per 100,008 Test Positivity is from the 23rd to the 30th Of December the seven day incidence of around 27 and pressure on nhs cases per 100,000 of the Population Services is acute. We have an five is the highest threat level this means there is a risk of Health Opportunity in scotland to avert the increased by 65 . From 136 per Care Services being overwhelmed. Level four means transmission situation here and deteriorating to is high or rising exponentally. That extent but we must act quickly. 100,000 to 225 per 100,000, test since it was established the advice of our clinical advisers positivity has also risen sharply. The lowest level it has because of that, scotland will move is clear, the increased reached is level three, transmissibility of the new variant toa because of that, scotland will move to a Lockdown Situation from which means the virus Midnight Tonight. That will be very is in general circulation. Means the current level four measures may not be sufficient to close to the Lockdown Situation we we re bring the r number below one. It is close to the Lockdown Situation we were in back in march. This will la st were in back in march. This will last until at least the end of the essential therefore we further limit the conservative mp, month. For level four areas, which chair of the house of Commons Health interaction between households to select committee and the former stem the spread and bring the is most of scotland, there is a stay situation back under control while Health Secretary, jeremy hunt we vaccinate more people. We must at home order. You should only leave your house for essential purposes, tweeted this morning calling for tougher measures, return for a period to a situation and he explained those Essential Shopping or caring reasons a little earlier. Much closer to the lockdown of last i think the evidence march. Let me set out in more detail responsibilities are to be part of had been mounting over your extended household. You must the decisions that the cabinet work from home unless you absolutely the weekend that the nhs reached this morning. Its important to stress these are not decisions cannot and anyone who was shielding is in an absolutely that we take lightly. I am acutely unprecedented crisis. In the previous lockdown should be aware of the impact they will have andi aware of the impact they will have and i know they will not be welcome working from home. Meeting people but wejudge them outside will become more restricted, when i was Health Secretary i think and i know they will not be welcome but we judge them to be essential. Our clear operating but wejudge from now at night, you can only meet we had four Winter Crises and, frankly, what we are seeing now is nothing compared to that. Them to be essential. We know that with one other person outside. Even compared to april, which was itself a huge people under 11 will not be included challenge for the nhs, we have 30 more beds occupied Delay Prevarication in the face of in these figures. The First Minister by coronavirus patients. This virus almost always makes the staff are working said the most difficult decision she things worse and not better, even if had to make was about schools. It stems from an understandable absolutely flat out. Desire that we all share to wait for Keeping Schools open was always the priority. That shows how dire the the Prime Minister is absolutely more data or evidence. To turn to situation is across all of scotland, the First Minister has announced right to make this announcement this the decisions in detail, the ones i schools will be closed now until the evening and i hope he will say that will speak about litter on schools, 1st Of February, that will be for schools are going to be shut, at this stage, they will apply to all pupils except vulnerable pupils and that we are going to have enforced quarantine for anyone all parts of scotland however the coming from overseas, and pupils who have parents who are notjust trust them to go home decisions other decisions i have a and quarantine but take them to a hotel and make sure tight line will apply to those parts key workers. She said the priority they go into quarantine. We also need to look of scotla nd tight line will apply to those parts of scotland currently in level four after this month will be to get at what is allowed in terms of the mixing of households which is all of Mainland Scotland schools open but that will be because we have just and they are effectively an reviewed and she has not guaranteed that will happen. Enhancement to level four. The got to do everything we can idling area is currently in level a lot of concern because we have not for the next 12 weeks. Three will remain there for now and and we will have live coverage yet got the figures for christmas of the Prime Ministers address we will continue to moderate them and hogmanay. That is right. There to the nation this evening with a special programme at 7 35 on bbc one and the bbc news channel. The island areas. These essential has been a pause in getting the return as to position similar to last march will be in place for the figures out, there were obviously lets get more on those restrictions in scotland, whole of january and we will keep very tight restrictions over from Midnight Tonight, them closely under review. I cannot christmas, we were not advised to people there face a new lockdown to try to contain at this stage rule out having to meet in our bubble of three the spread of coronavirus. It will be a legally keep them in place longer, nor rule households but some people would enforceable order to stay out making further changes. Nothing have done so, they were able to do at home and work from home, about the Current Situation is easy. So if they felt that was necessary. With limited exceptions. The first measure is our fundamental the rules will apply it is expected that the figures across the scottish mainland advice for everyone is to stay at until at least the end of january. Home. That is the single best way of could rise in the coming days. Yes, the situation is bleak at the moment, it could potentially get all schools, which had been due staying safe. We consider this stay to re open later this month, at home message and advice is now so even bleaker. Alexandra, good to see will stay closed until the 1st Of February and learning important that from tomorrow it will will take place online. You, thank you very much. Alexandra outlining the new plans mackenzie there. In the scottish parliament, become law, just as it was last the First Minister said it was year. This means it will only be the coronavirus variant no exaggeration to say she was is spreading quickly throughout wales according more concerned about the situation permissible to leave home for an to the countrys health minister. Now than at any time Vaughan Gething said that cases since march last year. Essential purpose including caring of coronavirus in wales Nicola Sturgeon warned which is under National Lockdown that the new variant of Coronavirus Restrictions remain very high, now accounts for almost half though rates have fallen back of new cases and that responsibilities, Essential Shopping, exercise and being part of from Incredibly High Levels without further intervention, seen before christmas. Hospitals could reach capacity within three or four weeks. Many parents have been dealing an extended household. In addition, with last minute childcare issues as confusion surrounded the first anyone who is able to work from home day of the new term in primary schools. Our scotland correspondent Alexandra Mackenzie joins me must do so, it will only be a in large parts of england they have now from glasgow. Reasonable excuse to leave your home reopened after the christmas break to go to work if that work cannot be despite Teaching Unions and some done from home. We are asking People Councils asking the government no real surprise in nicola to keep them closed to protect staff and businesses to take this really from the new variant of the virus. Seriously, just as seriously as we sturgeons no real surprise in nicola stu rgeons announcement all did theyve called for a pause no real surprise in Nicola Sturgeons announcement earlier today. No, we expect the most of seriously, just as seriously as we alldid in march in Reopening Schools seriously, just as seriously as we all did in march during the first accusing the government of creating chaos. This although it is a very stark lockdown because the situation now ministers say switching to online is at least as serious as it was teaching should be a last resort. Warning from the First Minister. Not heres our education the message any of us wanted to hear then. The law already requires many correspondent elaine dunkley. Starting a new year. She talked businesses to close and we now need the first day of the new term. Every business to look again at their operations and make sure every but for many parents and teachers across about the virus running a race the country, its been single function that can be done by between the virus and people getting people working at home is being done vaccinated. She said that the virus chaotic and confusing. In that way. Businesses have only is now running faster because of shown a tremendous capacity to adapt this new variant. A number of cases during this pandemic and i am very kings Road Primary School grateful for that. We need in manchester has opened its gates. During this pandemic and i am very gratefulfor that. We need them during this pandemic and i am very grateful for that. We need them to consider the operations again as we today was 1905. Because of this she this is a tier 4 area. Work together to reduce despite the government said there was serious concern about transmissions. The Economy Secondary insisting that schools are safe, many children will speak to Business Organisations and teachers have not returned. The nhs in scotland which seat says about this including litter this there is 21 members of staff that have opted not is coping but is in a fragile to come into school because they afternoon and we will engage with would consider it to be an unsafe situation. She also said that the trade unions and continue to environment. Number of Covid Patients in hospital consider if more action is required. In my school, that has led to nursery, year three and year now is almost up to the number that four not coming into we also are providing new guidance school, so they will be we had in the peak in april. She learning from home, to people who are in the shielding which again, logistically, it is really complicated to organise. Said that this is a very dangerous in london, and across category, if you are shielding and parts of the southeast, cannot work from home our advice now time in the pandemic. Primary schools are closed. Is you should not go to work at all. But the parents here in manchester, the end of the Christmas Holiday has let me stress, this is notjust the Chief Medical Officer is writing about one single days numbers. To everyone in this category and we are now seeing a steeply rising led to tough decisions. That will count as a for those who trend of infections. Indeed, it is no exaggeration down south, theyve closed to say i am more concerned need it. And that the last year at all the primary school, so i about the situation that we face now the frequency, unlike the lockdown than i have been at any time dont see what the difference since march last year. Is between us closing our secondary in the week from the 23rd last year the frequency of outdoor exercise is not being limited. It is schools but not primary. Yeah, i absolutely think the school should to the 30th Of December, be open. Important for physical and mental i think it is a great the seven day incidence of cases health to get outdoors for fresh air opportunity for the children to interact with other per 100,000 of the population and exercise however from tomorrow children socially. I completely appreciate the argument increased by 65 , from 136 the rule on outdoor gatherings will about the spread of the virus being around per 100,000, to 225 per 100,000. Test positivity has change. Up to now six people from schools, but i think it is quite important to have two households commit outdoors, that as well because Home Schooling risen sharply, too. Given the greater trans mils is difficult for parents, but its also difficult for children not to transmissibility of this new have that interaction is well with from midnight scotland will move variant, from tomorrow a maximum of other children. For secondary schools in england, the return to into a Lockdown Situation, very two people from two households cant classrooms has been close to the lockdown be experienced delayed for two weeks. Meet outdoors for children age 11 those doing exams backin close to the lockdown be experienced back in january. Close to the lockdown be experienced back injanuary. That close to the lockdown be experienced and under will not count and they will start earlier. Back in january. That will close to the lockdown be experienced back injanuary. That will mean for areas in at level four currently, today, boxes of testing kits can also play outdoors in larger have been delivered to schools most of scotland and all of mainland ready for mass testing. Groups. For Everyone Else including scotland, they will be under a stay Teacher Unions say there isnt enough reassurance. At home order, meaning you can only 1217 groups. For Everyone Else including 12 17 Year Olds outdoor exercise leave your home for essential should take place in a way if the Sage Committee on the 22nd purposes which is a central consistent with this new rule. Of december were saying shopping, caring or to be part of that if you want to reduce the r strict Travel Restrictions remain in your extended household. She has rate, it is going to be very place across scotland, from tomorrow if you live in a level four area you difficult without something akin said people must work from home to a greater sense of lockdown. If youre not going to u nless do that, then what do said people must work from home unless absolutely necessary, unless you just cannot work from home. She you know better than cannot leave home except for an the scientists . Said for anyone shielding in the essential purpose and when you go the government disagrees and says out stay as Close To Home as that the decision is based previous lockdown, they must work on science and safety. Possible and stay away from crowded the risk to kids from home. We obviously cannot visit places. It remains the case no one is very, very small. The risk to teachers, people inside their homes anyway but and obviously we will do is allowed to travel into or out of everything we can to protect teachers, but the risk to teachers there are more restrictions now for scotla nd u nless is allowed to travel into or out of scotland unless it is for an is no greater than it is to anybody meeting people outside. You can only essential purpose. A number of other else in any other line of work. Meeting people outside. You can only measures will come into effect on meet one other person outside but that does not include children under in wales, some schools friday. It is with real regret we have begun preparations to reopen as early as wednesday. 11. Nicola sturgeon said her consider it necessary for places of worship to close for all purposes decision about schools was the most in Northern Ireland, primary and secondary schools wont difficult she had to make. It has except broadcasting a service or return for another week. A lwa ys difficult she had to make. It has always been a priority to keep conducting the funeral, wedding or schools open. That just balancing concerns about safety Civil Partnership. I am well aware with increasing pressures on remote always been a priority to keep schools open. Thatjust shows how learning and Home Schooling are once serious the situation is. What she of how important communal worship is again a reality for millions of families. Said that schools will be closed to people but we believe this restriction is necessary. Up to 20 until at least the 1st Of February.

The final Anna Collinson her report does councils asking the government to keep them closed to protect staff contain some flash photography. From the new variant of the virus.

Schools closed to the majority of the vaccine means everything to me. The first day of the new term. Pupils until the 1st Of February. We but for many parents will review this again in to my mind, its the only and teachers across the country, way of getting back mid january. The change will apply to a bit of normal life. Its been chaotic and confusing. To all pupils accept Vulnerable Children and children of key workers you know, this virus kings Road Primary School is terrible, isnt it . In manchester has opened its gates. And including Nursery Schools as this is a tier 4 area. Well as primary and secondary. There sam foster administered the jab, which is seen as a crucial moment in the uks fight is no doubt of all the difficult against the coronavirus. Despite the government decisions weve had to take to date it was a huge privilege. Insisting that schools are safe, every single patient that we have many children and teachers this was the most difficult of all. Vaccinated over the last couple have not returned. And its impact is of course the most of weeks have got their own personal theres 21 members of staff that stories to the difference its severe. The evidence to date makes going to make for them, have opted not to come into school so no different this morning because they would consider it to be clear thanks to the hard work of with our first two patients. An unsafe environment. More than 500,000 doses in my school, that has led school staff and pupils at schools in scotland have been a low risk are now being rolled out, to nursery, year three and year four starting with a small group not coming into school, of hospitals, including in oxford. So they will be learning environments for covid. We will work a thumbs up from one from home, which again, logistically, it is really to ensure that remains the case. Of the scientists who helped complicated to organise. Develop the vaccine. That includes ongoing work on it is a hugely proud moment. In london, and across testing in schools and discussions parts of the southeast, about when it will be possible to primary schools are closed. It is a testament to the efforts Vaccinate School staff. I want to be of the teams both here and around but the parents here in manchester, the world who have been working clear it remains our priority to get on the vaccine. The end of the Christmas Holiday has but also, i think, especially led to tough decisions. School buildings open for all pupils important for all of those as quickly as possible and keep them volunteers who came forward without really knowing whether this down south, theyve closed open. Right now two factors mean all the primary schools, vaccine was going to work, so i dont see what the difference to actually see their involvement is between us closing our secondary its not consistent with a safety has brought us to this moment today. Schools but not primary. So far, the uk has yeah, i absolutely think first approach for all children to approved two vaccines. The school should be open. Attend school in person. Firstly the the astrazeneca jab is cheaper and easier to store than the pfizer i think it is a great opportunity overall level of Community One so fewer resources are needed for the children to interact transmission is simply too high. We with other children socially. To reach the most vulnerable. Need to get transmission down before the phase one Priority List i completely appreciate the argument schools can safely reopen, a period about the spread of the virus of Online Learning will in turn help is headed by those who live being around schools, and work in care homes, but i think it is quite important us do that. The second reason is followed by the over 80s and to have that as well front line health workers, because Home Schooling is difficult and then younger groups for parents, but its also difficult there are significant uncertainties and the clinically vulnerable. For children not to have about the impact of the new variant the first phase includes that interaction as well with other children. On transmission amongst young all adults aged 50 and over. People. Therefore we must adopt a for secondary schools in england, doctors say a fast roll out the return to classrooms has been cautious approach. Thats why most is essential so patients will now delayed for two weeks. Wait 12 weeks for their second dose. Those doing exams pupils will learn online for at least the rest of the month. We will leading Scientists Say this delay will start earlier. Will allow more people to be protected faster. Review on the 18th Of January today, boxes of testing kits have been delivered to schools, whether they can, as we hope cant two million vaccinations a week ready for mass testing. Return on the 1st Of February. I are said to be needed but the government hasnt yet said know Remote Learning presents many when that will happen. Well, i would hope within the next, Teaching Unions say there certainly this month we will be able isnt enough reassurance. Challenges whether they can to get up to that sort of number, if the Sage Committee on the 22nd but as i said this is of december were saying that return in the 1st Of February. We dependent upon supply. If you want to reduce the r rate, are working together to further this is a new vaccine, it is going to be very difficult improve Remote Learning options without something akin supplies are coming in as we speak, available for schools and it is but they come in batch by batch to a greater sense of lockdown. Worth piloting since schools but we will be delivering it returned after the summer more than if youre not going to do as soon as we get it. That, government, then what do you know better 50,000 devices such as laptops have but amid the celebrations, the government and scientists than the scientists . Say they are concerned the government disagrees and says been distributed to children to help about a new variant of the virus in south africa. That the decision is based with Remote Learning and more are on science and safety. The risk to kids being distributed by councils each though more data is needed. Is very, very small. The risk to teachers week and in total we expect our and obviously we will do everything the worry about the south african, we can to protect teachers Investment Building on a local variant which has spread very but the risk to teachers is no Authority Action to benefit around rapidly to become the dominant greater than it is to anybody else 70,000 disadvantaged children across strain of the virus in south africa, in any other line of work. The country. I also want to stress is that it contains more changes, in wales, some schools have begun one final point, just as the last more mutations in the spike gene, preparations to reopen places we ever want to close our some of which are likely to affect as early as wednesday. Schools and nurseries so it is the the bodys immune response, and therefore, there is a bit more case schools and nurseries will be of a Question Mark over the first places to reopen as we that particular variant. In Northern Ireland, re emerge from this latest period of with rising covid cases putting primary and secondary schools extreme pressure on the nhs, lockdown. They remain our the uk faces a tough time ahead. Wont return for another week. Priorities. Thats why we are vaccines bring hope, considering whether and to what but the roll out must happen quickly extent consistent with our overall if they are to compete balancing concerns about safety with the virus. With increasing pressures on remote duty to vaccinate the most Anna Collinson, bbc news. Learning and Home Schooling are once again a reality for vulnerable first in line with millions of families. Its not safe to go and get recommendations, we can achieve a haircut from someone in full ppe, vaccination of school and childcare as weve been hearing, but we are expecting my sister, the Prime Minister is to announce who teaches at the sixth form staff as a priority. Many teachers stricter Coronavirus Restrictions across england at around eight college in leicester, oclock this evening. To go and mix with a group will be vaccinated over coming weeks parliament will also be recalled of 4000 students. To sit on wednesday. As part of the Priority List. The borisjohnson has predicted tough, tough weeks to come, sometimes ijust ended the day with more than three quarters Fortnightly Review will not simply of englands population already under the highest sobbing because it wasjust too much bea tier 4 restrictions. Trying to handle a child Fortnightly Review will not simply be a choice between opening and closing schools, we will always seek labour is calling for new england wide restrictions to come in immediately. With Learning Difficulties online. To maximise the number of pupils we can to maximise the number of pupils we ca n safely to maximise the number of pupils we can safely get back to classrooms if were joined now by the conservative mp we will hear from the Prime Minister chair of the House Of Commons the evidence says we can get some Health Select committee this evening at eight oclock. There back safely that is what we will do. And the former Health Secretary, is lots of speculation he will ultimately the best way of enabling jeremy hunt. Announce a new mission might lockdown in england and we are more people to return quicker is by thank you forjoining us. Do you hearing our call from a local reducing Community Transmission of think it is a coincidence that you Council Leaders in the north east of the virus as much as possible. All tweeted just a couple of hours ago england calling for a national of us by accepting and following the that the Prime Minister needed to lockdown. I will run you through act now and he seems to be reacting. Some of the people calling for that. Why the restrictions set out today have a part to play in achieving i would not go so far as to say the leaders of Durham County that. Before i leave education let that. I think the evidence has been council, gateshead council, newcastle city council, north me simply remind me chamber we mounting over the weekend that the already had plans in place for the tyneside council, northumberland Stacker Return of universities and nhs is then an absolutely colleges and we will consider this council, South Tyneside council, unprecedented crisis and when i was sunderland city council, north of week whether any further changes Health Secretary we had four winter tyne mayor and Northumbria Police necessary week whether any further changes necessary staggered return of universities and colleges. I want to crises, and what were seeing now is and crime commissioner. They are all briefly update on the current nothing to that. Even compared to saying covid is continuing to expectations around vaccine supply, increase pressure on the nhs and it april which was itself a huge the Health Secretary will give is clear National Action is required challenge for the nhs, we have 30 further update in a statement next and National Lockdown is now the week. I can confirm well over more beds occupied by coronavirus only sensible course of action, say all those leaders in the north east 100,000 people have received their patients, and the staff are working of england. That may well indeed be first dose of the vaccine, the first absolutely flat out. The prime what Boris Johnson minister is absolutely right to make of england. That may well indeed be what borisjohnson announces later. Well wait and see. Doses of the astrazeneca vaccine are this announcement this evening and i being administered in scotland today. In total over the period to hope that he will say that schools will be shot and we are going to the end of january including the there was some brighter news today have enforced quarantine for anyone more than 100,000 already in the fight against coronavirus administered we expect to have in whats being described coming from overseas that schools as a Pivotal Moment access to just over 900,000 doses of the first doses of the Oxford University and astrazeneca vaccine vaccine although obviously we hope have been given. Will be shut. And i think we also the first to get the oxford jab was 82 year old dialysis patient that number will increase. These need to look at what is allowed in brian pinker who told reporters, its the only way to getting will be split roughly equally back to a normal life. Between the pfizer and astrazeneca terms of Household Mixing because we heres our Health Correspondent Anna Collinson her report does vaccines however we anticipate some have got to do everything that we contain some flash photography. Of the astrazeneca portion will be can for the next 12 weeks. Available only in the last week of iamjust at 7 30am this morning, can for the next 12 weeks. I am just heeding the covid threat january. We do not yet have level, this is the set by the joint all eyes were on an 82 year old man, certainty on Supply Schedule beyond dialysis patient brian pinker became the january but we will keep by security centre, has been the first person to receive Parliament Updated on this. Our increased to five, the highest the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine. Current expectation based on level. I am wondering, given boris assumptions about supply and on the johnson would have known all what he is now looking forward you have said this morning why are new advice on doses being to celebrating his 48th we waiting until eight oclock wedding anniversary. Administered up to 12 weeks apart the vaccine means everything to me. Rather than three weeks is by early tonight . He will be getting advice, to my mind, its the only way of getting back may everyone over 50 and people there may be some decisions getting to a bit of normal life. You know, this virus under 50 with specific underlying made as we speak. But they are very is terrible, isnt it . Conditions will have received at big decisions. If you look at school sam foster administered the jab, least the first dose of vaccine and thatis which is seen as a crucial least the first dose of vaccine and closures which you have spoke about moment in the uks fight that is everyone who is on the a great deal on the programme, it is against the coronavirus. Priority list and comprises more it was a huge privilege. A great deal on the programme, it is a massive impact for a family with a than 2. 5 million people. Once disabled child, for example, or a eve ryo ne than 2. 5 million people. Once everyone on that list has been every single patient that we have vaccinated we will start vaccinating child with special educational vaccinated over the last couple the rest of the population and we of weeks have got their own personal needs, to look after them at home so will do this in parallel with it is right that these decisions are stories to the difference its going to make for them, completing second doses for those on so no different this morning properly thought through. But the with our first two patients. The list. Those timetables are evidence from all over the world, more than 500,000 doses heavily dependent on supply and for are now being rolled out, that reason they are at this stage korea, thailand, japan, singapore, starting with a small group is when countries act quicker those of hospitals, including in oxford. Cautious. I have tasked our are the ones that save lives and a thumbs up from one Vaccination Team with exploring and of the scientists who helped keeping it under ongoing review all develop the vaccine. Protect their economies. You are it is a hugely proud moment. Possible options to speed up the talking about countries that have it is a testament to the efforts been through this before, they dealt of the teams both here and around rates of vaccination and bring these with the sars pandemic and learned the world who have been working timescales forward as far as we on the vaccine. But also, i think, especially possibly can. I am gratefulfor the lessons, it is too early to have a important for all of those many offers of assistance received volunteers who came forward look back at how things were handled without really knowing whether this and while many may not prove vaccine was going to work possible or practical to take up the here but have we at any point being to actually see their involvement has brought us to this moment today. At the head of the curve on this . We will all be considered. As i said the Health Secretary will see more so far, the uk has in her statement next week. To approved two vaccines. Were, absolutely, at the very top of the astrazeneca jab is cheaper the queue of International Countries and easier to store than the pfizer conclude, this is most certainly not one so fewer resources are needed in terms of our performance on the the new year statement i wanted to vaccines, that was very impressive, to reach the most vulnerable. Give andi the new year statement i wanted to give and i know it is a statement no being the first country to approve the phase one Priority List one wanted to hear. As i said, we is headed by those who live and work in care homes, are now in a race between the two of the three breakthrough followed by the over 80s and front vaccines. We have done very well vaccine and divide us, we will do line health workers, from a scientific point of view. I and then younger groups everything we can to speed up and the clinically vulnerable. Distribution of the vaccine the the first phase includes think we have been reacting much all adults aged 50 and over. Quicker in the last three months vaccine and the virus. Everyone must everything they can to slow the than we did at the start of the doctors say a fast roll out crisis. I just say this, is essential so patients will now spread of the virus. We can see some than we did at the start of the wait 12 weeks for their second dose. Crisis. Ijust say this, any of what could happen in scotland if pandemic you want a government to be we do not act. We must act willing to change its mind, the leading Scientists Say this delay worst thing in the world as the data will allow more people immediately and firmly. For the to be protected faster. Government that means introducing changes, because it is so two million vaccinations a week tough measures as we have done so are said to be needed fast moving and government sticks to but the government hasnt yet said an approach that is clearly the today and for everyone if in when that will happen. Wrong one. If we see a change of well, i would hope within the next, sticking to the rules and continuing to follow the facts guidance and heart on School Opening cut we certainly this month we will be able to get up to that sort of number, should welcome that, rather than above all staying at home. That is shout out it is a Screeching U Turn but as i said this is dependent upon supply. Our central message. Stay at home, or whatever. But it is a screeching this is a new vaccine, save lives, protect the nhs. This u turn and we reported this morning supplies are coming in as we speak, gives the vaccine the time it needs even schools themselves are making decisions about whether to stay open to get ahead and win the race. The are not often in defiance of but they come in batch by batch but we will be delivering it next few weeks will be incredibly government advice, it has all got as soon as we get it. Difficult and im sorry to ask for very messy. Often in defiance of but amid the celebrations, the government and Scientists Say they are concerned further sacrifices after nine long government advice. In normaltimes about a new variant of the virus in south africa. Months but the sacrifices are it is perfectly legitimate to necessary and the difference between though more data is needed. Now and last march is with the help criticise governments for changing of vaccines we now have confidence their minds in a very short order. The worry about the south african variant, which has spread very rapidly to become the dominant the sacrifices will pave the way to ina pandemic their minds in a very short order. In a pandemic you have a deadly foe strain of the virus in south africa, brighter days ahead. For everyones is that it contains more changes, thatis in a pandemic you have a deadly foe that is itself changing direction more mutations in the spike gene, state and everyones safety please the whole time and so i think we some of which are likely to affect stick with it and stay at home. The bodys immune response, have to give the Government Credit when it changes its mind, the most and therefore, there is a bit more of a Question Mark over important thing is to do the right that particular variant. The First Minister will now take thing and if that means closing with rising covid cases putting extreme pressure on the nhs, schools and closing our borders, questions. Ruth davidson. May i offer the the uk faces a tough time ahead. Further restrictions, bearing in condolences of myself and my party mind it is only for this 12 week vaccines bring hope, on news of the passing. I am but the roll out must happen quickly period until we get the vaccine out if they are to compete to all those that need it, then i with the virus. Anna collinson, bbc news. Think most people would say that grateful to you for recalling there is the sensible thing to do. Parliament for the statement. Nobody surely you expect the government to wa nts to parliament for the statement. Nobody wants to live on the restrictions joining me now is dr asel sartbaeva, for a moment longer than necessary be pre emptive rather than a chemist at the university of bath orfor for a moment longer than necessary co nsta Ntly Reactive . Be pre emptive rather than or for those restrictions to be constaNtly Reactive . That seems to and an expert in vaccine bea constaNtly Reactive . That seems to be a problem. There is no government tighter than needed. The increase in anywhere in the world that has not storage and transportation. Made its share of mistakes even Infection Rate and transmissibility of the new variant gives grave cause countries we talk about as having thank you very much for being with for concern. We have come too far to been more successful, korea, for us. We heard the aim is for a 2 throw all our efforts away and the example, they had massive problems roll out of the vaccine means we can million doses each week, do you see a time soon when all this will with the mers virus with testing and think we will get there anytime begin to be over. That being said, soon . Well, this vaccine, the oscar this is hard news at a hard time its no coincidence they are one of the best Testing Regimes as a when there are zillions of people Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine, is country has been worn down hard result. Japan had a large scandal much easier to transport compared to over how they dealt with those with coronavirus on a cruise ship. The pfizer vaccine. The pfizer time for millions of people across singapore has a problems with how it the country. Many people will be dealt with the virus and its migrant vaccine requires a 74 transportation making it much harder dismayed not least parents. The workers. Every government has been to transport but the newer vaccine challenged but in the end what matters is that you take the children and young people difficult decisions quickly. I think has much easier transportation conditions, a very comparable to commissioner expressed concerns you understand when governments have closing schools poses a serious risk to ta ke of harm to the well being of you understand when governments have to take difficult decisions in a traditional vaccine so hopefully we can brought that out through gp children and young people and also pandemic. A recall of parliament has won support for Online Learning has just been announced for wednesday. Surgeries and this should definitely there was some talk of that speed it up. Whether we will be able been provided inconsistent across happening last week. Itjust seems the country and there is not enough to reach the 2 million each week the National Guidance and support for toa government suggesting i am not sure, happening last week. Itjust seems to a lot of people as i say, there it is very hard at the moment to schools. Can i ask what further isa to a lot of people as i say, there steps the Scottish Government is now is a reaction, looking at scotland, predict but i guess we will see. It is very hard at the moment to predict but i guess we will seem there an issue in the speed at which taking to address these concerns and ensures pupils continue to get equal this can be produced, the oxford we dont have to look very far to access to high quality education . See governments that seem to be vaccine . Jonathan van tan was saying slightly ahead of what we are doing Cani Access To High quality education . Can i firstly agree this will be and Nicola Sturgeon says they are there is a shortage of fill and very ha rd news can i firstly agree this will be three orfour finish materials, a shortage of very hard news for everybody to hear and Nicola Sturgeon says they are three or four weeks behind and Nicola Sturgeon says they are three orfour weeks behind england. I would say if you look overall at glass vials, how big an issue is today and contemplate the reality for the next few weeks and i want to the way scotland has handily that . That is a significant issue pandemic england has handled the reiterate these are decisions we do because obviously that is a shortage pandemic, in terms of international not take lightly. We agonise over comparison that is not a whole lot that almost all of the vaccine them and we only announce of difference. For sure, we have manufacturers have talked about restrictions like this if we really made some mistakes and there are already for the last half a year or feel there is no alternative and some things i have to take so. It is a significant problem right now the only alternative is responsibility for as been Health Greater loss of life and potential secretary for six years but one of because it will hamper the production quite badly. But if that for the nhs to be overwhelmed. Speed the most important things is how of action at this point in time is quickly we get back to normal. That is overcome and then next month or the most important factor of all. So or several months, we should be the decision we must agonise over depends on the vaccine and there we able to see bigger production so im have gone further and faster than what the further closure of schools hoping that will be overcome soon. Any other country of a similar size. The production is one issue and then for the majority of pupils. The ido any other country of a similar size. I do not think the whole picture has issue of school is closed or open been bleak and thats why if we take there is quality control. The prime has been contentious in the most difficult decisions this evening if minister mentioned this, about how recent weeks. Teachers and others thatis each batch must be safety checked difficult decisions this evening if that is what the premise announces, i think people will welcome that and have understandably raised concerns. And quality controlled. Yes, what we i hope people see from the responses understand. They would understand the message of stay at home which is the message of stay at home which is the method Nicola Sturgeon has given usually say about vaccines is they of government and actions of the to if there is a message of a new government we have striven to keep have to be quality controlled in schools open as normally as possible order to be roll out and it is tier 5, doesnt that muddy the absolutely true, we need to first for as long as possible. This produce them and be able to produce decision today is one that we deem waters, isnt the best message of the cleanest and that is stay at them and safely put them in the necessary for the reasons i set out. Home . I think that will effectively be the message. Isnt the best vials, obviously, at which there is a shortage on at the moment but the Education Secretary will set out after that they need quality and clearest message stay at home . For msps the steps being taken to controlled and we know as long as the highest tier, tier 4, is not they are put in fridges and ensure provision of Online Education containing this new strain so i that is as parents want it to be and we scrap the tier system or change transported in refrigerated local authorities work to ensure vehicles, these vaccines should be it but the highest for us has to thatis local authorities work to ensure that is consistent across the control the virus and so that is one good for use. The other question a country. Weve ta ken lot of people are asking is we hear that is consistent across the of the things i expect to change country. Weve taken steps already as indicated, to ensure a more young about these new variants, the one tonight. Broadening it out, you from kent and now sprung up in south people have access to digital spoke about vaccines and that is devices to make Online Learning more africa, do you think the oxford obviously the best news, the second vaccine, which will be the main accessible to them. Schools and vaccine being administered today, vaccine, which will be the main vaccine we use in this country, will local authorities already have there is some confusion about the be able to be adjusted to cope with Contingency Plans in place, there is timing of the first and second the new variants . That is our very advice for parents available via the pa rent advice for parents available via the pa re nt clu b doses, the government saying it is advice for parents available via the Parent Club Website and parents can ha rd the new variants . That is our very hard question to answer because we also speak to schools directly for 0k to doses, the government saying it is ok to delay the second dose. Some are being cancelled. Do you agree dont know 100 at the moment. The advice. The Online Learning platform with that . I agree with the overall glow has seen a huge increase in approach. It is a very difficult vaccine was originally developed for usage since early last year and we are working actively with local and call to make. Particularly when some the old variance if you want to say. People have had their vaccine and National Partners to enhance the booked in for the second those three online and Remote Learning options but the majority of the experts who weeks later which has then been for pupils. That is work that will have been working on this vaccine as cancelled. But when we initially continue over next week and for as i understand, are agreeing that this planned the vaccine roll out we did vaccine should be able to cope with long as necessary. Let me end this not know as much as we now know the new variants, too. This is a nswer long as necessary. Let me end this answer with a reiteration of the about the second strain and in the point that we want this to be for as end what we have got to do to something we wont need to see after short a period as necessary. Control the second strain is stop it vaccination but then will be able to getting a purchase on new people, see by the data after vaccination new carriers who then infect others. Todays announcement underscores the but unfortunately at the moment its i think on balance for this probably very ha rd to but unfortunately at the moment its need to have a comprehensive test very hard to predict. All right, and trace system in place. In august only about a period of one month, it thank you very much indeed, thats dr asel sartbaeva, thank you for the 1st minister promised between uk is worth delaying the second doses your time. Because that is the best chance that government Lighthouse Laboratories we have of stopping this new strain we arejust and nhs scotland facilities we would in its tracks. Always great to talk your time. We are just hearing from arlene foster, Northern Ireland first have capacity for 65,000 tests each minister, that there is going to be day however the highest number on a to you, former Health Secretary, i a call between the four nations of single day was just over 30,000, on wonder some people might wonder why christmas day.

In fairness to matt regarding the Coronavirus Response. There will then be an executive hancock, he has made himself three regional testing, to be open incredibly available to the media to the end of december but so far throughout this, he has been meeting at six oclock immediately afterwards. That is new, we have not only two have done so. The test heard this before, there will be Positivity Rate the past seven days inexhaustible in his appearance since im sorry you have got second that four nations call between is the highest since the data was best this afternoon, simon thats published for the first thing in not what i was saying but always presumably the leaders of the four august. Is there capacity in nations, borisjohnson at the very good to talk to you. Chairman scotla nd august. Is there capacity in scotland to carry out 65,000 per leaders of scotland, wales and of the Health Select committee, for tests 65,000 tests each day and a start. Jeremy hunt, thank you. Northern ireland, that isjust why is the actual rate of test before Boris Johnson Northern Ireland, that isjust before borisjohnson is due to address the nation at eight oclock carried out half of that and when lets get more on that news about the covid this evening which we will cover on threat level being raised. What the original edinburgh hobby we can speak to our Political Correspondent, nick eardley. Bbc one and on the bbc news channel. Open for testing . There is capacity for 65,000 tests each day, that that is at eight oclock. Speculation he will announce an who makes this decision and what has target was met by christmas. The been raised to . This is the joint by england wider National Lockdown. We number of tests actually carried out on any given day is largely demand security centre, involving the four will be bringing that to you live Chief Officers across the uk. They driven because it is people who have and more developments and details this afternoon as they come into us. Symptoms coming forward for testing made the decision to move the threat and we have seen, and will continue before all of that, lets get a look to see that number rising as at the Weather Forecast with matt level back to the highest level, taylor. U nfortu nately to see that number rising as unfortunately this faster spreading level back to the highest level, level five. You may remember this strain infects more people. The dry and sunny across many western threat level was announced back in areas to date but some rain and capacity and demand for testing sleet and snow across eastern often not be numbers that are the summer, basically it is designed to be an independent way of looking scotland, northern england, eastern exactly the same for obvious england and south east. Rain at how severe the threat from reasons. We do increasingly although continuing to fall. Assistant for coronavirus is. The top level, five, the very far south east and channel some of the asymptomatic testing is islands, where we could see minor not done through the pcr testing is quite concerning. That involves flooding over the next few days. That goes through the Laboratory Experts thinking there is a threat network, some of that is done by and the nhs could be overwhelmed and temperatures 3 4 c for england and Lateral Flow Testing which do not it seems it was that the threat that wales feeling colder in the wind. Temperatures already below freezing appear in these numbers. Some made all the difference in a meeting asymptomatic testing is done in this in scotland and Northern Ireland. That was held this morning between widespread frost, we could see some way, such as care home staff, which the experts. This has not officially ice and covering of snow on the we are in the process of southern it plans Southern Plains transferring from the lighthouse been announced yet but we expect in network to the nhs scotland the next few hours the government will say the threat level is being and perhaps the pennines as well. Laboratory network. We have a raised to level five. I should point frost and ice will be the hazards out that is different to tier, it is well functioning test and protect tomorrow morning, Snow Flurries system. It continues to be out of the important part of our response easing somewhat across scotland and to this virus, as the virus spreads northern england. More wet weather not a new tier, it is supposed to be for the east of east anglia, faster then we have to have a range independent from the governments of different responses to that in process , independent from the governments process, however, given we know the south east and the Channel Islands. Order to complement the test and Prime Minister will make an tomorrow could be cooler than today. Take care. Protect and in terms of announcement tonight, given we know intervention, just as test and parliament is being recalled on wednesday and given what has just protect has been important, the vaccine becomes increasingly happened in scotland, all the important over the next period. Lastly, there has been a last minute suggestions are and everything points to significant new restrictions in england later issue probably not literally tonight. How significant . The last minute but late stage issue in ultimate option is a total lockdown, the edinburgh regional lab with a are we looking at that . It is quite Sprinkler System which is in the process of being rectified and that possible. Given what Nicola Sturgeon is due to open shortly. Todays announced earlier in scotland there is clearly enough concern there about the threat level that has been announcement of further restrictions is particularly hard to take when we agreed this morning, to make that have had such positive news in decision. It is quite possible we recent weeks of vaccines being approved and bought in such are heading back to that sort of place. The feeling in government quantities by the uk government. It was said we were in a race between over the past few days has been that the vaccine and the virus. It is tier 4 is probably where most places impossible to know if we are ringing that race at any given time if we will end up, that of course means a only show the rate of infection stay at home message and people being told not to leave the house figures without the daily Vaccination Figures. The public u nless being told not to leave the house unless it is essential and the vast needs to know exactly how the majority of businesses being closed, roll out is going nationally and in Nonessential Shops One of the few the area. Overrated will be invited things that stays open. All of england is not into tier 4 yet but hello, this is bbc news. The headlines. There were suggestions from the government that was probably the to attend their vaccination by the Prime Minister is to make first thing that would happen. It letter. Can the government commit a televised address today didnt publish not only appears on the situation is moving at 8 oclock tonight, Vaccination Figures but the really fast this afternoon and it as he government comes under appears people in england should brace for a significant new pressure to announce another Vaccination Figures but the Vaccination Progress in peoples own restrictions being announced communities. And when will people tonight, perhaps not dissimilar to what weve seen immense in scotland. Lockdown in england. Receive the letter with Vaccination Appointment details . Im labour reiterates its call for it was interesting speaking to tougher measures. The virus is out vaccination. I think i said last jeremy hunt who tweeted earlier week when parliament was called, action must be taken immediately. We that we are intending to break down heard from Nicola Sturgeon also. We of control. Everyone can see that. The weekly publication of the have had the difficulties the tier system clearly is not surrounding School Openings with numbers of vaccinated into categories and also i would hope we some primary schools defying working. I say to the prime Government Requests to open. Is would do that regionally by health minister, dont say in due course. Board as well. I will consider there a sense someone needs to grab why delay . Have national whether there is a potential to have best by the scruff of the neck and restrictions and bring them into force as soon as possible. Ta ke best by the scruff of the neck and a greater frequency of publication. Take control . When we spoke earlier, we are currently doing that weekly. It comes amid mounting pressure on the nhs, im simply mindful of not putting simon, i was seeing the pressure is with a record 58,784 new covid cases increasing significantly on the too many burdens of Data Collection Prime Minister to make some sort of recorded across the uk. Announcement because we had the of data for people that we are Prime Minister yesterday saying he expecting to undertake this huge thought youd restrictions were logistical challenge. Whitley public leaders of the four nation will likely and again this morning saying occasion means the best balance they were likely but would be discuss the government response in a without the greater breakdown of announced in due course. I think phone qualify pm this afternoon. It comes as scotland goes statistics. It is not that long events have moved on, frankly. Since the vaccines have been proved, scotla nd events have moved on, frankly. Into lockdown from Midnight Tonight. Scotland going into basically particularly the astrazeneca one. We lockdown plus, similar to what we it is no exaggeration to say that saw back in march, that is from have vaccinated more than a people. Im more concerned about the Midnight Tonight, the leader of the situation now than i have been at the percentage at this stage is a opposition sir keir starmer calling any point since march last year. Small percentage of the population. Foran opposition sir keir starmer calling for an immediate lockdown in parents and teachers face england, we have seen your a confusing picture of primary conservatives likejeremy hunt now School Closures in england scott in scotland the percentage is as unions call for a delay saying to be Prime Minister he needs slightly smaller than the other uk to children returning to classrooms. A 13 year old boy stabbed nations but we will have to focus on to act immediately, things have to death in reading has been accelerating that. That is at the identified as oliver lucas stephens. Moved on we have senior five teenagers are being held by Police Moment largely constrained by conservatives. The Prime Minister now knows he cannot wait to make the in connection with his murder. Supply, moment largely constrained by supply, but we know what we expect decision and there is an and hopefully that is a conservative Announcement Coming and it is likely to mean there are significant ijust want estimate forjanuary. We are not yet clear what supplies we can expect to restrictions in place in england for i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Potentially a number of weeks and be in january. Clear what supplies we can expect to be injanuary. In terms of the call find me more votes. That already we know in scotland President Trump is recorded on the phone ordering for those in overrated population officials in georgia that already we know in Scotland Thatis that already we know in scotland that is coming from midnight. Wales to change the Election Result that will be an ongoing process. We and Northern Ireland are sport, and for a full round up, insignificant restrictions already. The big question now for wales and will be recalculating the modelling lets go to the bbc sport centre. Northern ireland will be what happens to schools and do they stay good afternoon. For the speed and timescale of open given that scotland has england all rounder moeen ali vaccination as a result of the announced schools will not open will miss englands first test change to the Chief Medical Officer until february for the vast majority against sri lanka after testing advice and doing the second dose of positive for covid after the vaccine up to 12 weeks after the of pupils. I think similar questions arriving in the country. Will be asked now in other parts of team mate chris woakes has been first dose, as opposed to three the uk. Thank you very much, nick. Deemed a posible close contact weeks. That will allow us to get the and both will self isolate first dose of vaccine to more people for ten days. Much more quickly, and we are making heres our cricket sure that we take full advantage of and we will have live coverage correspondent jonathan agnew. That as we take full advantage of of the Prime Ministers address the supplies of the vaccine as we to the nation this evening they with a special programme at 7 35 get them. So carmel Nicola Sturgeon on bbc one and the bbc news channel. Correspondent jonathan agnew. Were they correspondentjonathan agnew.

One set stay at home except for essential but we still have some rain, sleet and snow showers across parts of tests came back negative, but purposes and work at home wherever of eastern scotland, then the one that did come back possible. These rules are coming northern england, Eastern England into force at Midnight Tonight to be and towards the south east, the rain continues to fall. Showed that moeen ali was testing enforced in the law. She announced positive. So it is clear that there fairly persistent across the very that schools would be doing online far south east of england, towards the Channel Islands. Is an issue as to why everyone learning until at least the 1st of could see some minor flooding tested negative on the friday and here over the next few days february, except the vulnerable as the rainfall totals tot up. Then this 1 now appears this children and the children of key temperatures this evening, three to four celsius for england and wales, positive one affairs. Moeen ali is workers. Nurseries, she said, will made to feel colder by the wind, and temperatures already dropping remain closed, and this will be below freezing in parts of scotland 0k. He and Northern Ireland. Positive one affairs. Moeen ali is ok. He faces ten days of self reviewed in mid january. The role of widespread frost, icy conditions to come here. Isolation in his hotel room. He has sex has been rip placed and only one could see some ice around as well, and could see a good covering food delivered to his door. He is of snow on the Southern Uplands of scotland, and maybe not allowed out of his room. So he across the eastern side of the pennines again, if you just get in the shower has got ten days ahead of him i suspect he would rather not have. It person rule of six. Anyone who streams to take us into tomorrow morning. Frost, ice, those will be also knocks him out of the first the hazards tomorrow morning. The Snow Flurries easing a little test match, which he might not have bit across parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. Played, but he is there is the third a lot of dry and bright weather for many of you, test spinner in that squad, but now is able to work at home must do to but still more wet weather towards the east of east anglia, having spent ten days in his room, so.

He is now looking forward to celebrating his 48th well, so its not like we thought it wedding anniversary. From the bbc sport centre, the vaccine means everything to me.

You know, this virus wish it would not be that close but is terrible, isnt it . Sam foster administered the jab, which is seen as a crucial iam not wish it would not be that close but i am not surprised. So, wish it would not be that close but moment in the uks fight iam not surprised. So, now southampton will ask for different against the coronavirus. Things. We have to be ready again.

One set of are now being rolled out, am pretty sure, because we are going starting with a small group tests. One came back negative but then the one that did claim back to the wire probably. Of hospitals, including in oxford. Thats all the sport for now. A thumbs up from one of the scientists who helped develop the vaccine. Showed he was testing positive. It is a hugely proud moment. Clearly that is an issue as everyone it is a testament to the efforts the Prime Minister will make of the teams both here and around a televised address to the nation the world who have been working for everyone who tested positive on at 8 oclock this evening to set out on the vaccine. But also, i think, especially further steps to deal with rising important for all of those coronavirus cases in england. Volunteers who came forward the House Of Commons has been without really knowing whether this friday. He now faces ten days of vaccine was going to work to actually see their involvement recalled to sit on wednesday. Has brought us to this moment today. Self isolation in his hotel room. Lets take a look at what we know so far. So far, the uk has thats it. So the poor guy has got the uk coronavirus threat level approved two vaccines. The astrazeneca jab is cheaper which is different to the tier system in england and easier to store than the pfizer ten days ahead of him. It knocked has been increased to the highest one so fewer resources are needed level level 5 which means to reach the most vulnerable. Him out of the first test match of there is a risk that healthcare the phase one Priority List is headed by those who Live Services will be overwhelmed and work in care homes, and a lockdown begins.

Australian big bash. With the Prime Minister to discuss fellow englishman alex hales hit the response across the four nations 46 offjust 26 balls 2 million vaccinations a week as thunder set the heat 175 to win. At 5pm this afternoon. Are said to be needed denly started slowly but got 16 off but the government hasnt yet said the latest figures for the uk, three balls to bring when that will happen. Up his 50 injust his second game in this years competition. Well, i would hope within the next, brisbane reached their target nearly 60,000 cases recorded for the certainly this month we will be able uk today. That is higher than at any to get up to that sort of number, but as i said this is time during the planned adamic. In the final over. Dependent upon supply. This is a new vaccine, supplies are coming in as we speak, joining me now is sir ed davey, leader but they come in batch by batch of the liberal democrats. But we will be delivering it the worlds best t20 as soon as we get it. Batsman, dawid malan, but amid the celebrations, was powerless to prevent the government and scientists Hobart Hurricanes losing those figures show we are at a say they are concerned to melbourne stars. About a new variant he made 26 as the hurricanes fell 11 of the virus in south africa. Record level of coronavirus though more data is needed. Short of their target of 184. Infections. What is your advice for the Prime Minister. We are going to the worry about the south african, variant which has spread very hear from snookers masters event, which starts on sunday, the Prime Minister. We are going to hearfrom him at 8pm. Should you go rapidly to become the dominant has been moved from the alexandra for a National Lockdown . It was said strain of the virus in south africa, palace to Milton Keynes so that strict covid 19 regulations is that it contains more changes, can be followed. The tournament features more mutations in the spike gene, the worlds top 16 players, before christmas that a national with Stuart Bingham defending the title against the likes lockdown was inevitable and the some of which are likely to affect ofjudd trump, ronnie osullivan, Prime Minister had to plan for it, the bodys immune response, neil robertson, john higgins and mark selby. And again he is late to the and therefore, there is a bit more all players will be tested the day of a Question Mark over before their first match, situation. People are exhausted that particular variant. And will remain within the bubble after a terrible year last year, but with rising covid cases putting as long as they are participating they are now seeing the nhs on its extreme pressure on the nhs, in the tournament. The uk faces a tough time ahead. Knees, the government letting vaccines bring hope, the new world darts champion, covid 19 out of control, so they are but the roll out must happen quickly gerwyn price says hes so thankful angry. He was told his christmas if they are to compete with the virus. He won and wouldnt care if he never Anna Collinson, bbc news. Plan was risky. We told him that a took the trophy again. The welshman was in incredible form National Lockdown looked inevitable, andi as he raced into a 6 2 lead National Lockdown looked inevitable, and ijust National Lockdown looked inevitable, and i just hope National Lockdown looked inevitable, and ijust hope that he will come to dr simon clarke is an associate against gary anderson, but nerves then got professor of cellular microbiology the better of him. With some serious measures which at the university of reading. Will get us ahead of this awful eventually price managed to hit the winning double at the twelth virus. He has always been playing good afternoon. Good afternoon. This time of asking to win by seven catch up. He needs to sort this sets to three. He takes home the £500,000 virus out. We need a plan for winners cheque and also becomes the new world number one. Is positive news with the second vaccine now. A lot of people are dealing with the pandemic, helping asking if you can mix the two, if schools and businesses in peoples you have had the jab with pfizer and jobs. So far, that has been lacking. There becomes a difficulty of not bad for someone who six years supply, there becomes a difficulty of supply, can you boost it with this and you want to lockdown the school one . I think that is only being ago was playing professional rugby. Closures as well. We said before suggested in cases in extreme i never really fulfilled my dream that schools to close for at least potential in the rugby dales cases where they have to do it. In the first two weeks until we got some cases we do that for other by potential in the rugby dales rugby days, but if i had what i have more scientific evidence. Lets hear what the Prime Minister says vaccines, but these two vaccines are gone on to become a darts player . Tonight, but the fact that the im not sure i would. Everything new technologies and quite different Bio Security Centre has suggested that we need to need to go to level technologies, so understanding happens for a reason and ive had exactly how they work is something this opportunity in completely five, which is suggesting that the we dont know yet. So, its different sport and over the past pandemic is seriously out of something that should be avoided, i control, suggests the government will have to come forward with some think, whether it ever possible. But real measures. I hope it is learned seven different sport and over the past Seve N Yea Rs different sport and over the past seven years im thankful ive got it might work. But there is a lot of another opportunity and ive taken from its many mistakes. So, for another opportunity and ive taken another opportunity and ive taken another opportunity in another sport. In the last hour, its been confusion, particularly given the confirmed that manager example, in schools, is it providing changing advice on the timing of joey barton has left Fleetwood Town the laptops to those pupils who have that second jab. Would you advise with immediate effect after nearly not been able to study at home. Is three years in charge. People who have had that second jab more details on that story on the bbc sport website. It making sure the more vulnerable appointment cancelled to kick up the former Manchester City children are being looked after . I about it . If it were me, yes i and Newcastle Midfielder leaves the League One Side with the club hope they will be coming with a proper plan and hopefully a little 10th in the table. Bit of humility about why he hasnt would. I think it is one thing to thats all the sport for now. Ill have more for acted before. Well, what he would say from now on everybody who has say if he was here is that he has their first say from now on everybody who has theirfirstjab is say from now on everybody who has their first jab is going say from now on everybody who has theirfirstjab is going to have you in the next hour. Acted. We have a tier system and a say from now on everybody who has their firstjab is going to have to wait longer, although i think that lot of england is already under will prevent problems, but i think tearful. People in areas of the a 13 year boy who was stabbed country with lower Infection Rates it will be unreasonable frankly to might well be saying i dont agree delay Everyone Else who is expecting to have theirjab a bit sooner. The to death in reading has been named with you. I dont want a nationwide as oliver lucas stephens, lockdown because where we are, then argument as i understand it is that known as olly. Level of infections is relatively once you have had the firstjab it police were called to fields in emmer green low. That is the trouble with the ta kes two yesterday afternoon, once you have had the firstjab it takes two weeks to start to become following reports of the attack, National Lockdown, isnt it . Its a effective and then it is very but the boy died at the scene. One size fits all approach. The quickly very effective. Is that not four boys and one girl the case . We dont know that with all aged 13 or 14 have been arrested on suspicion liberal democrats have argued for a of conspiracy to commit murder. Long time that the problem with officers are appealing for any the case . We dont know that with the pfizer vaccine. Pfizer themselves think that is not likely witnesses to come forward. Borisjohnson is that he doesnt our correspondent, to be the case. Theyve been theyve Jon Donnisonjoins Me now. Follow the evidence. Says government advised against using it that way. This happened just before it was with the oxford vaccine they say getting dark last night in an area experts told him he needed a circuit from day ten to 2011 called buzz button field. As all breaker lockdown and he refused. With the oxford vaccine they say from day ten to 20 think it is after the first jab. But what that led to the second wave in the teachers said this student was part virus getting out of control. Before happens between day 21 and 84, which of our community and many students christmas, i think on the 22nd of is 12 weeks. I expect it drops off and staff knew him well. A life december, they were basically saying rather rapidly because i remind you ended at such a young age is such a a National Lockdown is inevitable, even after the second dose the total tragedy and our thoughts and and the Prime Minister ignored them. Efficacy is only 62 . So, what you prayers are with the family. We so the liberal democrat argument is that we have a Prime Minister who is make of the government in effect there are certainly a lot of support a lwa ys that we have a Prime Minister who is changing the rules as we go along on always late. He reacts to slowly and that lets things get worse. Just one this . They might get away with it. I there are certainly a lot of support there in the community. Arrests of five teenagers aged 13 or 14, four moment. You say he acts too slowly, but we have onlyjust heard today suspect they probably will. But its boys and one girl have been arrested and remain in custody. Police are from scotlands First Minister, not some clever piece of planning. Appealing for anyone who is in the Nicola Sturgeon, saying we need a this is a tacit admission that for area at the time or anyone who might National Lockdown. He is going to make an announcement this evening, whatever reason, there will not be have been in the area to come enough Vaccine Doses in the uk to and it is widely thought he is going immunise as many people in a shorter forward and talk in confidence to to announce a nationwide lockdown. Them. Thank you. Space of time as they want or need to. You say they might get away with well, Nicola Sturgeon was late as as weve been hearing, the Prime Minister will make it. It sounds attached it sounds a televised address to the nation well. The liberal democrats at 8 oclock this evening to set out challenged the Prime Minister before a touch glib as they are talking further steps to deal christmas saying that a national with rising covid cases. Lockdown looked inevitable and he about peoples lives. Yes, that is parliament has been recalled to sit on wednesday. Needed to get ahead of the game. Im it follows an announcement from Nicola Sturgeon that what they have decided to do based a new lockdown is to be introduced afraid that the story with this on the premise of what theyve seen in scotland in which Prime Minister and i would say with vaccines in the past. We have people will be ordered Nicola Sturgeon is that they have to stay at home. Been late throughout this pandemic. Just heard from Nicola Sturgeon. Dr Bharat Pankhania look at the shocking record of the is a senior clinical lecturer this situation of scotland is that at university of Exeter Medical uk including scotland. We have that they are three or four weeks behind school. They are three or four weeks behind the situation in england but they many more temp three mac deaths. Are going into total lockdown. Do thank you very much for your time you look at that and think that is again this afternoon. What would you like to hear the Prime Minister the best way forward now . |j comparatively in terms of population announced tonight . This is something that i have been mentioning before you look at that and think that is we have had more covid deaths then the best way forward now . I think there is a Broadening Senses a christmas which was we need to Donald Trumps america. Im afraid, Broadening Consensus of opinion that thatis Broadening Consensus of opinion that that is where we are heading. I extend the Christmas National shutdown for at least a couple of our Prime Minister has failed to think if you listen to borisjohnson show properly proper leadership weeks to allow case numbers to go remarks this morning that is quite during this whole pandemic. He has down. So, id like a similar a lwa ys during this whole pandemic. He has always been late. That means the likely. Simon, it is very good of announcement to what Nicola Sturgeon has made. This morning, i was in pandemic has been worst in lives you tojoin us. Thank likely. Simon, it is very good of you to join us. Thank you for your have been lost. He has failed to conversation with several colleagues time. Of mine, directors of public health, reasonably question peoples the Prime Minister is warning and the case numbers are vertical. Of tough, tough weeks to come livelihoods. Im sorry if that they were 100,000. That is very sounds to your is unfair but i have as the Government Faces pressure to announce another national to say the evidence over the whole lockdown amid concerns high. We are not in control. We need pandemic now is that we have a prime to regain control in a shorter time minister who is incompetent and does the new Variant Coronavirus not take the tough decisions at the as is possible. Those figures are right time for the national is spreading out of control. Full time what they were four weeks interest. I was just ago. Is this down to the new right time for the national interest. I wasjust saying that the Prime Minister would say it was the labour leader ken starmer has unfair. That was my point. Thank you variant . I refuse to accept that, called for a National Lockdown from very much indeed. Thanks for being because whether it is a new variant with us on bbc news. Of the old variant you are getting today. Infected, and with respect, getting and we will have live coverage of the Prime Ministers address infected, and with respect, getting infected means you are dropping your to the nation this evening Infection Control guard. These are with a special programme at 7 35 on bbc one and the bbc news channel. The seed sown from People Interacting in the pro to christmas, a 13 year boy who was stabbed and to have got infected and have gone on to make more and more cases. To death in reading has been named weve already got a lot of the we have not got the figures for country and tear foreign in tier 3. As oliver lucas stephens, christmas and new year yet.

It is very worrying because im dealing yesterday afternoon, see the impact of the tier 4 with outbreaks every day and several following reports of the attack. Measures on the virus. It is unclear Nursing Homes and residential homes, our correspondent, still at the moment, but i think if schools and things, etc. The only Jon Donnisonjoins Me now. You look at the numbers, there is no way to regain control is to shut it what more do we know . A statement question that will have to tough down and roll out the emanation from Thames Valley police came to measures. But this is why there are role at the Immunisation Programme earlier this afternoon. He was as fast as possible in schools in calls for immediate action.

The averages hospital. I do i do feel that we are area called box bottom fields in more than 52,000 every day, but reading. Police say they are now trying to comfort and give there are warnings of significant not in control and i do feel that pressure on the health service. It this is a bit of a failing. We counselling to his family. We have does feel all but inevitable there had a statement through from a head will be more restrictions in england should have acted earlier, calmer, teacher at a local school school. Faster. What does it look plain on soon. In the first instance, that we dont know if ali was a student could be those currently in tier 3 on the front line, in hospitals and aerial had been a student there in being moved into tier 4 having to wards . What are the stuff having to the past, but she is saying that the do that suggest to you that things student was part of our Community Stay at home and nonessential shops and many students and staff knew him close. It could also mean schools are very do that suggest to you that things are very clearly getting out of well. For a life to be ended at such being closed in some areas if local control . In the hospital setting, my a young age is such a total tragedy authorities can agree with central collea g u es control . In the hospital setting, my colleagues tell me they are working and our thoughts are with his government. But with cases rising as family. What about the they are, some are saying ministers absolutely flat out, and every given space that can be used is being need to go further and act fast. Investigation . The police have made jeremy hunt tweeted it was time to used. Wards, corridors, operating a number of arrests. For boys and act saying we need to close schools theatre, paediatric wards, anyplace one girl who all aged or 14 years is being used. Furthermore, it takes borders and Panel Household mixing old. They are being held in custody a long time for a convoy of right away. Labour, too, once ambulances to allow the patient in, by police in connection with their immediate action. There is a real because there is just no place. Investigation. Police are appealing to anybody around that area, need for more stringent measures. We then, taking it to the nursing home have called for an immediate particularly drivers driving around National Lockdown so we can try and those fields who might have cam get this virus under control. As we situation, we are experiencing footage to come forward. Thank you widespread number of outbreaks in heard, we are waiting for this much very much indeed. These settings. So, out in the long awaited fat seen. Parliament is a recording has emerged which appears to show community, case numbers are up, President Trump putting pressure sitting this week, but the political on a senior republican official Nursing Homes, case numbers are up, to overturn joe bidens pressure from Morris Directions is election victory in georgia. In hospital settings, they are the Washington Post says the audio working flat out with a lot of is from an hour long phone call cases. And they have the extra with georgias secretary of state, pressure now of having to vaccinate growing. People. That is the good thing. That brad raffensperger. Is what i could call preventative medicine, and with respect to that, the Vice President elect Kamala Harris called it my Gp Colleagues are all very well a bold abuse of power. Paul hawkins reports. The coronavirus variant geared up to immunise as many as impeachment, the russia is spreading quickly throughout wales according scandal and catching covid to the countrys health minister. Possible, as fast as possible, and in the middle of a pandemic. Vaughan gething said that cases thatis the Trump Presidency has been of coronavirus in wales possible, as fast as possible, and that is the ray of good hope. A roller coaster ride. Which is under National Lockdown so, on one level, perhaps restrictions remain very high, speaking to my Gp Colleagues, they we shouldnt be surprised. Though rates have fallen back from Incredibly High Levels say to me that suppliers with as after all, donald trump seen before christmas. Himself said. Primary schools in many parts many vaccines losing is never easy. Of england have re opened today. Say to me that suppliers with as many vaccines as say to me that suppliers with as many vaccines as you say to me that suppliers with as not for me, its not. Thats despite Teaching Unions many vaccines as you can. And some councils asking say to me that suppliers with as many vaccines as you can. We are ready to immunise. Ijust but on another level, the government to keep them closed many vaccines as you can. We are ready to immunise. I just wonder no one could have foreseen to limit the spread what you would do if you were that the president of of the new variant of covid 19. Walking along the street and you saw the United States would ask ministers insist any move to online georgias top election official learning should be a last resort. A group of six or seven people one school which has to find the votes that would change taken that last resort novembers result. Is st williams primary in norwich. Breaching the regulations full. What the head teacherjoins me now. Would you do . Its very difficult to beat confrontational, and you would sarah, you only reach that decision only invite aggression. But what is last night. We have been getting advice and guidance very late into required to stricter enforcement the holidays. We have wayne working of. Why we are asking you to stay ha rd to the holidays. We have Wayne Working Hard to make the best of that and see whats happening. Add teacher at home. That only comes from our leaders sexually. This is seriously staff and support staff receive some is quite starc information from the the call lasted an hour, the president angrily making unions on friday, so the n eu had a breaking leaders centrally. Unsubstantiated claim that ballots big meeting yesterday, and as a had been shredded and voting result of that, we had a preliminary leaders sexually. This is seriously breaking leaders centrally. The message is not so much that the discussion with our staff and machinery removed virus is killing you, but that teachers that we have made the people are killing you. It is, and claims that were denied by a lawyer for the state. Decision to very regretfully close with secretary raffensperger saying, the challenge you have, mr president , is that the data our school today. Are you close people are killing you. It is, and people are killing you. It is, and you have is wrong people are almost getting away with the president called him a child. Saying it. Our leaders i am tomorrow . We are doing at the moment condemnation of the referring to. That it is the more call has been swift. Well, it was, yes, certainly just communicating with parents i infectious strain. I content that dont want to say too much about what we are doing. Our capacity will you still have to get infected in the voice of desperation the first instance, and to get be significantly reduced in school, infected in the first instance and it was a bald faced, so we will be open but not to all equals you are interacting with bold abuse of power. Other people when you have been children. But you havent told the president s refusal to accept asked to wear your mass properly, pa rents children. But you havent told parents this yet. They got an email the result had split his own party with the former republican leader dont interact and keep a low of the house of representatives profile. Thank you very much for probably about five minutes ago now saying it was difficult to conceive so it depends if they have open your time. Of a more anti democratic and anti conservative act. Their e mails. We have explained them around our staffing and the the headlines on bbc news. The Prime Minister is to make well, it is tough to be shocked any fa ct them around our staffing and the fact that staff have taken advice a televised address more by what the president does at 8 oclock tonight but this was truly shocking. From the unions and the fact they as the uks covid threat level is increased to five, extraordinary. Dont think this Classroom Size safe and the government comes under to put pressure on a place to be in. What they are being pressure to announce another republican secretary lockdown in england. It comes as scotland goes of state to find the votes, i mean, thats awful stuff. Asked to do out of school in into lockdown from Midnight Tonight. The First Minister announces but 11 republican senators, scotla nd asked to do out of school in Scotland Sounds so starc in measures that will last a month. Schools will stay closed led by ted cruz, are still planning comparison to compared to what they and a stay at home order is issued. To challenge the Election Result are supposed to do in school in a when its officially parents and teachers face certified on wednesday. A confusing picture of primary classroom with 35 students. We have School Closures in england we live in a world where truth, as unions call for a delay literally does not matter to children returning to classrooms. Any more, evidently. Lived with this pandemic for ten at least here in the us and the American Media months. Is your school covid secure truth does not matter. Its all about propaganda the founder of wikilea ks, from the liberal media Julian Assange, cannot be and so the reality is, extradited to the United States you go listen to the call, all the narrative of or isnt it . I dont think that is a to face spying charges. That is literally a not. A nonsense call. Yes or no question. We have made it a judge at the old bailey ruled that as safe as it can be. It is very while us prosecutors met the tests donald trump is holding an election for mr assange to be extradited rally on monday night in georgia, well ventilated. Weve got lots of for trial, concerns over where two republican held senate seats are up for grabs things to wash hands are not the mr assanges Mental Health, in tuesdays election. Sanitiser and we have done all those and the risk he may attempt to take his own life, polling suggests both races things throughout. We have had cases meant that the extradition could not go ahead. Are tight, with the outcome and have had to close bubbles during our Diplomatic Correspondent deciding who controls that time which is a real and James Landale reports. The upper house of congress. Certainty for parents because that Julian Assange has long can happen at any time, but the word attracted loyal supporters. But with donald trump questioning from the staff and the word from our the voting process in georgia, will republicans still turn community as we are now into tier 4. This was their reaction out to vote . Outside the old bailey paul hawkins, bbc news. As they heard the news. The headlines on bbc news. We are not sure what we can do but thejudge had ruled the Prime Minister is to make that he could not be extradited to the United States. A televised address at 8 oclock tonight for more than a decade, keep it shut. As Nicola Sturgeon the wikileaks founder has as the uks covid threat resisted extradition, level is increased to 5, above all by spending seven years and the government comes under holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy says the Infection Rate seems to be pressure to announce another in london before he was removed lockdown in england. Running much faster. It is a it comes amid mounting almost two years ago situation none of us as head teacher and was detained in belmarsh prison. Us authorities want him to face 18 pressure on the nhs, wa nts to situation none of us as head teacher wants to be in. Anyone who knows me charges, mostly of espionage, with a record 58,784 new covid cases will know i patiently worked to keep relating to his alleged role ten years ago in obtaining and leaking it open weave and when the snow was thousands of american falling outside, so it has been a recorded across the uk. Really difficult situation and one i military secret documents. Wish no head teacher would have to leaders of the four nations be put into. Is it a decision you these focused on the wars will discuss the coronavirus in afghanistan and iraq, response in a call at 5pm scotland has already announced it wa nt be put into. Is it a decision you want Prime Minister to take . Do you including this video appearing wa nt will go into lockdown want Prime Minister to take . Do you want Boris Johnson to to show a Us Helicopter firing want Prime Minister to take . Do you from Midnight Tonight. Want borisjohnson to enhance what Nicola Sturgeon has announced . on a crowd in baghdad, the founder of wikileaks dont want to stay shut. If the killing at least 18 people. Julian assange cannot be today, finally, after years of legal extradited to the United States Community Around us is shut that to face spying charges. A judge at the old bailey ruled that that would give us more capacity to battles, mr assange was driven open the school, and one of the while us prosecutors met the tests things Nicola Sturgeon was saying into court to hear his fate. For mr assange to be extradited was to open schools and nurseries for trial, concerns over mr assanges Mental Health first. At the moment, it does not inside, the districtjudge dismissed many of the arguments made and the risk he may attempt feel it very lockdown at all, there by mr assanges defence, to take his own life are feel it very lockdown at all, there meant that the extradition a re lots of feel it very lockdown at all, there are lots of people out and about. That the charges were political could not go ahead. But i think if we could have some or that his free speech certainty, said the union suggested would be infringed. Shutting on the 13th Of January so then she said the isolation and lack our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale reports. We could have more certainty about of protection mr assange would face Julian Assange has long attracted loyal supporters. This was their reaction a us prison meant there was a risk outside the old bailey what happened after that. I think as they heard the news. He would take his own life and ruled the uncertainty has been very unfair extradition would be oppressive and our families the uncertainty has been very unfair and ourfamilies and children. I by reason of mental harm to the joy dont have all the information that thejudge had ruled of supporters outside, that he could not be extradited the scientists have, but actually to the United States. For more than a decade, something that makes us feel more including his fiancee. Secure in school would be really the wikileaks founder has today is a victory forjulian. Resisted extradition, above all by spending seven years important for us. You mention the holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy pa rents important for us. You mention the parents and the children. Of course in london before he was removed todays victory is the first step they want certainty too. When head almost two years ago towards justice in this case. And was detained in belmarsh prison. Teachers make these decisions us authorities want him to face 18 locally as you have done, it does we are pleased that the court has charges, mostly of espionage, exactly the opposite, doesnt it . Recognised the seriousness locally as you have done, it does exactly the opposite, doesnt mm relating to his alleged role ten does, and like i say if it had been and inhumanity of what he has years ago in obtaining and leaking a National Decision or at least one endured and what he faces, thousands of american of the tearful schools where we have but let us not forget the indictment military secret documents. The Lockdown Measures out of the these focused on the wars school, but the school is going to in afghanistan and iraq, in the us has not been dropped. Carry on exactly the same, and i including this video appearing to show a Us Helicopter firing think certainty comes in many forms. On a crowd in baghdad, if you know youre going to be at despite the judges ruling, mr assange will not walk free today. Killing at least 18 people. Home for an extra one or two weeks us authorities have said they intend that makes things to certain as to try to appeal the decision. Today, finally, after years of legal well. We are not playing around. Mr assange has been remanded this is a really high stakes game in custody ahead of a bail battles, mr assange was driven application later this week. That we are playing and we dont the story is not over yet. Into court to hear his fate. Wa nt to ta ke that we are playing and we dont want to take risks that we dont need to take. Our staff of work to everything they have wanted us to do inside, the districtjudge dismissed many of the arguments made through the net 78 or nine months and for them to say this is how they so, what happens to by mr assanges defence, Julian Assange next . That the charges were political James Landale spoke are feeling is a really big dealfor or that his free speech to me a little earlier. Me as would be infringed. Are feeling is a really big Dealfor Measa are feeling is a really big dealfor me as a head teacher. It is because the case of mr assange which has then she said the isolation and lack been going on for a decade now, you are taking unilateral as this of protection mr assange would face a us prison meant there was a risk its very difficult to say session against government advice, it is over, when its over. He would take his own life and ruled the americans are going to try extradition would be oppressive arent you . We have consulted very to appeal, they have given that notice already. By reason of mental harm to the joy they have 14 days to decide widely, and today we were told that of supporters outside, whether or not to appeal, today would be a day that we could whether to take it to a higher court. Including his fiancee. The legal procedure plan and see what to do. My issue is could well go on. Then theres the question of mr assanges liberty or not. Today is a victory forjulian. That i need staff in the school to be able to run at full capacity, and at the moment he has been taken back todays victory is the first step to belmarsh prison, where he has at the moment that is whatnot been for the last 21 months. Towards justice in this case. There will be a bail hearing be able to run at full capacity, and at the moment that is what not what they are saying. They are saying on wednesday to decide that there advice from union is that we are pleased that the court has whether or not he should be set free, given bail or not, that recognised the seriousness in till Something Else changes for will be a decision for the court. And inhumanity of what he has the school to be run at full and even then, there will be capacity, it is not safe. It is a a question about the continuing debate because for many endured and what he faces, of mr assanges supporters, very very difficult decision to have this has been a cause celebre about media freedom. The judge today has not made to make yourself. Where do you put but let us not forget the indictment a ruling about that. In the us has not been dropped. The Location Secretary and the prime in fact, she has dismissed a lot minister in terms of the despite the judges ruling, of mr assanges defence claims. Mr assange will not walk free today. Decision making process at the what she has decided is that us authorities have said they intend moment . We have had an awful lot of on the simple legal ruling to try to appeal the decision. About whether or not you extradite confusion and late decisions over mr assange has been remanded somebody from the uk the last nine months. We then had to the United States, in custody ahead of a bail youve got to be satisfied decisions where the headlines were that their health is application later this week. Going to be protected. The story is not over yet. Promised something and sometimes as she has come to the conclusion that it wont be, that mr assange, School Leaders we havent always got there will be a real risk what we were promised so it has been of him committing suicide. Ha rd to but there have been no rulings what we were promised so it has been hard to deliver. Im very proud of what our school has managed over the on any of the other charges the family of a london schoolgirl found dead against mr assange and so that during a holiday in a malaysian last nine months.

Thejudge had ruled ever since the brexit vote, that he could not be extradited to the United States. A recording has emerged the uk has been scrambling forfresh which appears to show President Trump putting pressure trade deals around the world, for more than a decade, and a Free Trade Agreement the wikileaks founder has on a senior republican official with australia may be among resisted extradition, to overturn joe bidens above all by spending seven years the first to be signed. Holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy election victory in georgia. Australias winemakers are among in london before he was removed those hoping to benefit. The Washington Post says the audio almost two years ago is from an hour long phone call they shipped 383 Million Australian Dollars worth of wine to britain and was detained in belmarsh prison. With georgias secretary of state, in the last financial year. Us authorities want him to face 18 charges, mostly of espionage, and demand for alcohol brad raffensperger. Has only grown during relating to his alleged role ten the coronavirus lockdown. Shaimaa khalil reports years ago in obtaining and leaking the Vice President elect from south australia. Kamala harris called it thousands of american a bold abuse of power. Military secret documents. Paul hawkins reports. Quenching the international thirst impeachment, the russia these focused on the wars scandal and catching covid for australian wine means doing in the middle of a pandemic. In afghanistan and iraq, things on a massive scale. The Trump Presidency has been including this video appearing a roller coaster ride. So, on one level, perhaps we shouldnt be surprised. Accolade is one of the countrys to show a Us Helicopter firing after all, donald trump himself said. Biggest producers. Losing is never easy. Each of these vats holds on a crowd in baghdad, not for me, its not. Killing at least 18 people. Today, finally, after years of legal the equivalent of almost battles, mr assange was driven but on another level, 400,000 bottles, and much no one could have foreseen into court to hear his fate. That the president of of it is destined for britain. The United States would ask pumped into shipping containers, georgias top election official its sent to the other side of the world to be inside, the districtjudge dismissed to find the votes that would change novembers result. Packaged and sold. Many of the arguments made you cant let it happen brands made here are some and you are letting it happen. By mr assanges defence, of the uks best sellers. That the charges were political britain leaving the eu has allowed or that his free speech would be infringed. It to negotiate free trade deals, then she said the isolation and lack including with australia, of protection mr assange would face a prospect they relish here. A us prison meant there was a risk but brexit isnt all good news he would take his own life and ruled for australian winemakers who still dont know what it extradition would be oppressive will mean for moving their products by reason of mental harm to the joy the call lasted an hour, the president angrily making from the uk into mainland europe. Of supporters outside, unsubstantiated claim that ballots including his fiancee. And there are questions over how had been shredded and voting labelling requirements will change today is a victory forjulian. Machinery removed and the costs involved. Claims that were denied by a lawyer todays victory is the first step for the state. Were doing Everything Possible to minimise any disruptions with secretary raffensperger saying, on the back of brexit. Towards justice in this case. The challenge you have, mr president , is that the data i think for us, regardless you have is wrong of the outcome, what were looking the president called him a child. We are pleased that the court has for now is the potentials associated with the Free Trade Agreement recognised the seriousness between the uk and australia. Condemnation of the and inhumanity of what he has call has been swift. At the moment, the tariffs imposed well, it was, yes, certainly on australian wine imports endured and what he faces, into the uk are anywhere between 13 the voice of desperation pence and 15 per litre. And it was a bold, bold faced, but let us not forget the indictment that is compared to new world competitors such as chile and south bold abuse of power. In the us has not been dropped. Africa which have a zero tariff. The president s refusal to accept despite the judges ruling, mr assange will not walk free today. The result had split his own Party Australia exports more wine us authorities have said they intend with the former republican leader to the uk than anywhere else of the house of representatives in the world, but most to try to appeal the decision. Saying it was difficult to conceive of it is that the cheaper of a more anti democratic mr assange has been remanded in custody ahead of a bail and anti conservative act. End of the market. Application later this week. So could a free trade deal with britain help producers the story is not over yet. Well, it is tough to be shocked any here sell their more more by what the president does but this was truly shocking. Expensive brands competitively . Extraordinary. Pinot g, really nice to put pressure on a republican secretary for summerdrinking. Of state to find the votes, this winery is very different now its time for a look from the big producers owned at the weather with matt taylor. I mean, thats awful stuff. By private equity firms or listed hello. But 11 republican senators, on the stock market. Its still a bit wintry out led by ted cruz, are still planning most of its business comes there for some of you at the moment, to challenge the Election Result when its officially from tourists and loyal customers, certified on wednesday. But the Weather Set Up for the next few days is different we live in a world where truth, but it used to supply a major uk retailer and hopes a trade deal to what we had last week. Literally does not matter high she at High Pressures any more, evidently. Will invigorate sales in britain. To the north of us, low pressures to the south and east, at least here in the us and that means we are getting more and the American Media it is a very challenging truth does not matter. Market to be in in the uk of an east to north easterly its all about propaganda flow across the country. From the liberal media supermarket channel, it is still going to be cold, and so the reality is, the margins are very slim and by night, temperatures and the competition is very high. You go listen to the call, dropping below freezing, all the narrative of we prefer to target independence, so some frost and some ice around, high end restaurants but much more in the way of wind that is literally a not. And fine wine shops. A nonsense call. Across the southern half of the uk. And whilst there will be some donald trump is holding an election the volume is certainly sleet and hill snow, rally on monday night in georgia, there to support that in the uk, for a fairfew of you, where two republican held senate what falls from the sky seats are up for grabs and it also allows us will be rain, particularly in tuesdays election. To showcase our artisanal product. So across the south east corner. Polling suggests both races this is going to be the wettest are tight, with the outcome details are still being thrashed out but over the next few days.
