inspired. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is in marston moretaine, the bedfordshire village where captain sir tom lived. john, i know you have followed this story very closely for many months, and it is a

famous landmarks paid tribute to one of our most cherished sons, adored notjust by us, but by the world. for the last ten months, captain sir tom's family loaned him to all of us. but, for his final hours, they had him to themselves. in a statement, they said: captain sir tom moore was a hero in the truest sense of the word. in the dark days of the second world war he fought for freedom, and in the face of this country's deepest post—war crisis, he united us all. he cheered us all up and he embodied the triumph of the human spirit. he'll understand that we're sad and that we're feeling a loss. but he would absolutely want us to remember what has happened, what we did, how we all came together, how we united, how we found in him a beacon. while the rest of us adapted to living a life locked down, a 99—year—old veteran of the second world war set off on a journey. it would take him to the top of the charts, into the record books and around the globe, all without leaving his back garden. captain tom moore wanted to thank the medical staff who'd cared for him following a fall. i've had such marvellous service from the national health service, particularly the nurses, after i broke my hip. the idea was born. raise money for nhs charities, keep physically active during lockdown and mark his 100th birthday with 100 laps. he might raise £100. but as he walked, we watched and the world watched in amazement, as the money went into the stratosphere and to a final total of almost £40 million. and in his wake, he redefined the charity single. # when you walk through a storm #hold your head up high # and don't be afraid of the dark.# as the uk applauded the nhs each week, its staff clapped for captain tom. this is a message for captain tom moore. thank you so much for all of your efforts and how much money you've raised for the nhs. thank you, captain tom, from the nhs. _ cheering and applause. with his one 100th birthday came a spectacular and socially distanced tribute, a world war two fly—past. congratulations. happy 100th birthday. i'm one of the few people here who have seen hurricanes and spitfires flying fast in anger. fortunately, today they're all flying peacefully. the task of delivering his birthday cards became a logistical leviathan, as the planet sent its congratulations. as he inspired an army to follow in his footsteps, he became an honorary colonel of the army foundation college for young soldiers. and, in a specially arranged investiture... ..he received a private audience at windsor castle with her majesty the queen, as she awarded him a knighthood. never, never, ever did i imagine that i should get so close to the queen and have such a kind message from her. that was really outstanding, it really was truly outstanding. yesterday, the queen said she had very much enjoyed meeting captain sir tom and his family, recognising the inspiration he provided for the whole nation and across the world. places, for example, like the white house, which said: and that inspiration will continue. along with his family, he was determined to leave a legacy, to build on his phenomenal success, and the captain tom foundation was created. its aims include tackling loneliness, supporting the bereaved and promoting education and equality. he will always be remembered for his optimism, his wisdom and his messages of hope. the man who walked 100 laps of his garden to help others, and who implored us all to never walk alone. tomorrow you will maybe find everything will be much better than today. tomorrow will be a good day. john

coronavirus. the study by oxford university also found that the jab provides good protection, even with a gap of 12 weeks between the first and second doses. andy moore reports. a double dose of good news about the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine. anyone who gets the jab is less likely to pass on the virus to others, and there's support also for the government's policy of a second jab after 12 weeks. we found there was a big reduction in people being infected with coronavirus, and because they were not infected, they can't go on and transmit to other people. and so that is really important in potentially curbing the pandemic. secondly, we had really good protection right from a couple of weeks after the first dose, through to the second dose being given three months later, which tells us that there's maintained efficacy over that period. hello! hi. we're from woking council, on behalf of public health... but the news about variants is less reassuring. the surge in door—to—door testing in eight areas could now be extended to parts of bristol and liverpool, after new strains were found there that could be more resistant to vaccines. in scotland, the first minister said there would be a full lockdown until at least the end of the month, and that travellers arriving directly into scotland from any country will be asked to quarantine in a hotel, going further than measures announced in the rest of the uk. as we look ahead, we must learn from past experience. we now know, for example, that by earlyjuly last year, we had almost eliminated covid in scotland, but then allowed it to be reseeded from — in the main — overseas travel. we must guard against that happening again. in england, the ministry of defence says additional measures will be put into place at the royal military academy at sandhurst after an increase in covid cases there. a newspaper report claimed that 50 trainee officers had contracted the virus. france, meanwhile, has joined germany, austria and sweden in recommending the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine should not currently be used on people over the age of 65. the french health regulator said there was not enough data at the moment on the effectiveness of the jab in older people. health officials here in the uk say the vaccine offers a high level of protection to all age groups. andy moore, bbc news. enhanced community testing is now taking places in several areas across england, in a bid to stop the spread of new variants of coronavirus. in a moment we'll hear from ben bland in kent. first, our reporter mairead smyth is in liverpool, where

temperatures. we are also looking at outbreaks of rain today with some snow in scotland above about 150 metres. we have got showery rain easing in northern ireland. rain at lower levels in northern england. snow in the hills. above about 150 metres in scotland we are also looking at snow. at lower levels it is likely to be rain or sleet. gusty winds, blowing and drifting of that snow in parts of the islands. as we come south of that band, for much of the rest of england and also wales, it will be dry with sunshine. just a few showers. rain moving steadily across the south and some of that will be heavy. it is falling on saturated ground, as is the rain across northern england, with a combination of melting snow there is the risk of localised flooding. these are the kinds of temperatures we are looking at. three to six in the north, nine to ten further south. yesterday's top temperature was in cardiff and it reached 40 degrees. as we head into this evening and overnight, we still very much have our band of rain, sleet and snow in the northern half of the country. more rain across wales and northern england, moving into northern ireland at times. south of that we will see some clear skies. temperatures falling to between three and five. in the north we are looking at ones and twos with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. a quick look at what is happening on thursday shows us we still have that combination of rain, sleet and snow. most of the snow will be on higher ground. we could see some of that getting down to lower levels at times. still quite windy.

captain sir tom moore. the sun dubs him "captain marvel", with a picture of the day he completed the 100th lap of his garden. the times highlights the queen's personal message of condolence to the moore family. they travelled with him to windsor castle when he received his knighthood in july. the daily mail front page features a picture of captain sir tom draped in the union flag, with a headline offering a "last salute" for a "hero who walked into our hearts". the yorkshire post features a full page image, and pays tribute to his "modesty, vitality, dignity and resolution." the paper calls him "a quiet yorkshireman, like no other." and, of course, his achievements made headlines far beyond our shores. this is how cbs news revealed that captain sir tom had died. captain tom moore,

"captain tom effect" was positive in so many ways. he gave us hope, he gave us a much—needed smile and — for young and old alike — he was a source of inspiration. breakfast�*s tim muffett has been looking back at some of those who decided to follow captain sir tom's lead by taking on their own fundraising challenge. 95 years apart in age, but tony hudgell felt drawn to the efforts of captain tom moore and inspired by them. captain tom made me done it. i saw him on tv walking the other day and i said, i could do that. tony raised more than £1 million for the hospital that treated him, by walking ten kilometres and his prosthetic legs. he was my hero and i'll neverforget him. and i'll never, ever, ever give up. 90—year—old margaret payne took to her staircase to climb the equivalent height of the highland mountain suilven, more than 700 metres, which she'd climbed aged 15. i don't think anybody will ever raise the sort of money that captain tom raised ever again. i think that that 33 million is an absolutely astounding amount of money. how's that? margaret raised more than £300,000 for charity. i think he's altogether an incredible person, and inspires other people as well as me. another centurion was inspired to walk 100 laps of his garden. dabirul choudhury completed his fundraising whilst fasting for ramadan. tom moore, he was working and i requested my son, i can walk as well. he raised more than £400,000 and was awarded an 0be in recognition. at the end, my dad had raised over £420,000 to different charities. he inspired me a lot, lot, lot. so i feel now a condolence for the family. i should say that i miss him. i am missing him. thank you. lily blackburn has cerebral palsy and autism. she walked 15 kilometres. captain tom, she said, had inspired her to help others less fortunate than herself. i wanted to do this to help sick children. it's going to be a really, really big challenge for me. if you set your mind, you could do anything and you could achieve something. nine—year—old tobias walker from sheffield walked a marathon drawing lockdown to raise. it's really amazing to know that i've raised so much money. and it will make a huge difference to so many children's lives. extraordinary fundraising efforts inspired by an extraordinary man. that's what i love about the story is well, and about him, is that he inspired so many others. they watched him and thought, you know, i can follow in his footsteps. and can follow in his footsteps. and went on to _ can follow in his footsteps. and went on to raise _ can follow in his

pictures of captain sir tom. great, great tribute. the world of sport has been paying tribute to captain sir tom moore. he was a big sports fan and an inspiration to many. he loved formula one, and lewis hamilton said he had been inspired by his actions, which had brought out the best in all of us. the former england captain david beckham posted a shot of him awarding captain sir tom the honour of being the first member of the fa's lionhearts squad of heroes, a scheme to "pay homage to inspirational" figures. damejessica ennis—hill said she was honoured to have awarded him the helen rollason award at sports personality of the year in december. another man well known for work during the pandemic, marcus rashford, thanked him for being a "shining light of 2020". many, many tributes coming in. well, an hour or so ago liverpool captainjordan henderson paid this tribute via whatsapp. a truly remarkable man who inspired a nation. thank you for everything. rest in peace, captain sir tom moore. england cricket captains past and present have been paying tribute. captain tom was a big cricket fan, and he was presented with an england cap by michael vaughan on his 100th birthday. you know, he has been a true inspiration and it's such a sad day that he's gone, but he's left one hell of a legacy for what he's done for the nhs. he would have inspired millions around the country to go out and be a better person. and i think that's a great legacy to leave with. he loved his cricket. as i mentioned, i did chat, talk to him and he spoke very fondly of, throughout his whole life, going and watching games of cricket — whether it be at yorkshire, or watching, as well — on the tv more recently — international stuff, so... from the whole cricket community, he'll be sadly missed. joe root there. let's look at last night's sport. you'll remember southampton were beaten 9—0 by leicester last season, and last night it happened again, this time against manchester united at old trafford. alexandre jankewitz was sent off for this challenge very early on, and southampton just couldn't stop united scoring. scott mctominay got the sixth. southampton had a another player dismissed near the end before danieljames made it nine. united are level on points with leaders manchester city. sheffield united came from behind to win 2—1 at home to west bromwich albion, billy sharp scored the winner. they're now only one point behind their relegation rivals, although both sides a long way from safety. arsenal had two men sent off as they lost 2—1 at wolves — a great goal from joao moutinho ended a miserable run for the home side. it was their first premier league win in nine games. crystal palace came from behind to win 2—1 at newcastle, gary cahill heading in the winner for roy hodgson�*s side. it was his first goal for the club. celtic beat kilmarnock 4—0. two goals from 0dsonne edouard were the key to victory. celtic are still a huge 20 points behind rangers, although they do have a game in hand. there were also win for wins for livingston and hibs. isaid it i said it was a very busy night of sport, it really was.— sport, it really was. absolutely. thank you- _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. more than one million people in london have had at least one dose of a vaccine to protect against covid—19. there was a ramp—up of the roll—out over the weekend, with more than 108,000 jabs were given across the capital. it means the nhs is ahead of its target to have offered a first dose to the four highest priority groups by mid february. meanwhile new research suggests that — as of december last year — 12.4% of londoners had been infected by coronavirus. the study from uk biobank — a major biomedical database — also found that most people who've had it have antibodies that last for at least six months afterwards. foreign labourers leaving the uk, and site restrictions caused by the pandemic, mean the government is less likely to hit its house—building target, according to a new report. the independent think—tank the resolution foundation said, pre—pandemic, more than half of construction workers in london were migrants, and training domestic workers to replace them will take time. the government says it is building the homes the country needs. volunteers are doubling up their daily lockdown exercise with helping clear up a stretch of the river mole near molesey in surrey. floating pennywort has been taking over, so local people have been doing what they can to help. if we weren't doing this work, this river will simply become a swamp in a short space of time. i would say, 100%, we're saving the river. 0nly come out for a short period — lots of fresh air out here, which then means we're as safe as we can be within the rules. let's take a look at the travel situation now. first the tube — and we had some earlier delays on the district line but those have just cleared up. running as normal now. time for the weather now, with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday temperatures almost reached 14 celsius in parts of london. today it is going to stay mild, just not quite as mild as yesterday. we've got some rain moving north. it could be heavy and persistent for a time. ahead of it, clearing east through the afternoon. we'll get some brighter spells, maybe some glimmers of sunshine as well. the temperature today getting up to 10 celsius. so we still have that mild air. now overnight tonight, it's largely clear and dry. minimum temperature above zero, so again, frost free tomorrow morning. we're looking at four celsius the temperature overnight. so as we head into thursday and into friday, it's a mixture of sunshine and showers. temperatures are set to drop, though, as we head into the weekend. now it's this area of white that you can see there, that's the risk of snow. itjust depends how far south it heads. it's a bit of a battle again between the cold and the mild air. but it is set to get colder through the weekend, and we could get something wintry by the end of sunday and into the first part of next week. there's more from me in half an hour. now it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, you're watching a special edition of bbc breakfast, celebrating the life of captain sir tom moore, who has died at the age of 100. sir tom was a veteran of the second world war, who raised almost £40 million for the nhs during the first lockdown. that achievement led to global fame, and earned him the respect and admiration of millions. breakfast�*sjohn maguire looks back on his remarkable life. it all started as a familyjoke — something to keep captain tom moore, a world war ii veteran, active during lockdown — 100 laps of his back garden to raise £100 for nhs charities, to be completed by his 100th birthday. if we as a country can show the same spirit of optimism and energy shown by captain tom moore, who turns 100 this week... but each step here took him closer to a final total of almost £40 million. inches to go — and there he is. congratulations — well done. closer to globalfame... ..and closer to a specially arranged appointment with her majesty the queen, as he was knighted and became captain sir tom. lovely story coming out. a 99—year—old war veteran has decided to walk 100 lengths of his back garden — he wants to raise money for the nhs. we first met captain tom on breakfast back in april. i've had such marvellous service, cos the national health service — particularly the nurses — after i broke my hip, i had marvellous service from all the staff. as he walked and walked, the world — in the grip of a pandemic — followed his endeavours step by step. you may have heard the name captain tom moore around the world... captain tom moore ist ein 99—jahrige britischer kriegsveteran. _ and i'm nowjoined by captain tom moore. great to have you on the programme. i know you must be - absolutely exhausted, tom. no, i'm not! overlapping interviews. i mean, i'm a yorkshireman — you don't get exhausted by things like that! it's amazing. what i love also is that he's a 99—year—old war vet. you know, he's been around a long time, knows everything. and it's wonderful that everyone kind of is being inspired by his story, his determination. so, you know, i think he's a... he's a one—man fundraising machine. god knows what the final total will be, but good on him — i hope he keeps going. well, that, ithink, is absolutely amazing — that my super prince can say something like that. hi, this is a message for captain tom moore. thank you so much for all of your efforts and how much money you've raised for the nhs. thank you, captain tom, from the nhs! _ as the globe watched, the charity money rolled in, and the record books were rewritten as he approached the finish line. and here he comes — captain tom moore — approaching his 100th birthday. 100 laps of his garden during lockdown, all of the money going to nhs charities, a guard of honour from the 1st battalion, the yorkshire regiment. inches to go — and there he is. there he is! congratulations — well done! absolutely amazing, amazing achievement. captain tom, how do you feel this morning? fine, fine, yes. i mean, i'm surrounded by the right sort of people so, yes, i feel fine. i hope you're all feeling fine, too! well, we are feeling much more fine. i think we've all been inspired — the whole country — it seems like the whole world has been inspired by your achievement. oh, thank you. as the thanks and donations flooded in, the stars came out to support him, and to embark on another challenge — albeit a very different one. tom, it's... it's an extraordinary achievement, and i've been trying to think of a song that encapsulates what you're doing, how you're inspiring all of us. and, um...i have one, ithink. i'm sort of stealing it from the people of liverpool, but it seemed appropriate. when you walk through a storm, hold your head up high. and don't be afraid of the dark. and another record — as the duet with michael ball made captain tom the oldest person to score a number—one single. and we can say good afternoon to captain tom moore. hello. hello, how are you? i'm good. ijust need to say congratulations because you are the uk's official number one. that... that really is... captain sir tom chuckles. that... i'm struggling... i'm trying my hardest to say what it is. it's so funny — i mean, it's extraordinary. - it really is — that's a special something, isn't it? # alone! # you'll never walk alone. his 100 laps done, the next milestone was his own centenary — celebrated in some style with a world war ii fly—past. congratulations on your 100th birthday! i am one of the few people here who have seen a hurricane and spitfires flying fast in anger — fortunately today they're all flying peacefully. an ocean of birthday cards flooded in from well—wishers around the world. his walking inspired many others to follow in his footsteps and raise money. despite having lived for 100 years, captain tom seemed to be cramming a lifetime of achievements intojust a few months. already named an honorary colonel, he was about to receive the ultimate accolade. captain sir tom moore — good morning, congratulations. how does it feel to be a knight of the realm this morning? to get this honour is so outstanding that...| really can't say how different i feel, but i certainly feel that i've been given a very outstanding honour by the queen and the prime minister. it is so well deserved. what you have done in bringing together a nation and inspiring so many and helping those that really need it most. honestly, i am in awe of you. i'm looking forward to that — i hope she's not a very heavy—handed with the sword. and he didn't have to wait long to find out. never, never, ever did i imagine that i should get so close to the queen, and i had such a kind message from her. that was really outstanding — it really was truly outstanding. captain sir tom and his family never expected such a momentous response. with the return of lockdown, he stepped forward once again to encourage us to walk and to talk to combat isolation. if we can all do a little walk together and show that we've all got the right idea in mind — that we're all looking for the future, for things to get better. his walk had rocketed him to worldwide fame. yet his humility, his dignity, and his humanity meant he took it all in his stride — with a smile, a glint in his eye, and always a wise word or two. tomorrow, you'll be fine. everything will be much better than today. tomorrow will be a good day! what a wonderful tribute that was. some wonderful memories there. and some wonderful memories there. and so uplifting. — some wonderful memories there. and so uplifting, as well. i know people were signed yesterday particularly to hear about his death and he has beenin to hear about his death and he has been in so many of our lives for the last few months and yet you think about all those people he has inspired, everything he's done in his 100th year. you watch that with a big smile. his 100th year. you watch that with a big smile-— a big smile. let's talk about him a little bit more. _ it's time to speak to one of our regular breakfast gps now — and today it's the turn of dr nighat arif. he isa he is a local hero, isn't he? good morning. he is a local hero, isn't he? good morninu. he is a local hero, isn't he? good mornin., .. he is a local hero, isn't he? good morninu. ., , , morning. good morning. firstly, massive condolences _ morning. good morning. firstly, massive condolences to - morning. good morning. firstly, massive condolences to hannah| morning. good morning. firstly, - massive condolences to hannah and the family because i know they have lost their own personal hero, though they shared him with the world and so captain tom moore lived in bedfordshire. as a buckinghamshire girl, that is the county next door, so he did, right from the start, feel like one of our own and i feel quite possessive over him, feel he was so close to us. i remember when his birthday came around and locally we were thinking how we can thank him and say thank you for all his work because working in the nhs at that time, in our darkest period, there was this amazing gentleman walking up and down his garden and that tiny, small act of kindness inspired so many and he went on to inspired so many and he went on to inspire notjust locally, just putting our morale up in the general practices and where we were working, but the six—year—old little boy who has spina bifida, katie in cornwall who put little cards into people's homes who are self isolating, mr islam chowdhury who was smoking and raising money for charities. people didn't really know the charity very much —— who was walking and raising money for charities. this really put it to the forefront and we realise how fragile our nhs is. i have been on this show many times and talked about fragility of our health care service and how we are at breaking point many times but the covid—19 pandemicjust highlighted that even more so. so pandemic 'ust highlighted that even more so. . y . pandemic 'ust highlighted that even more so. ., , , ., more so. so many things about him but

transcended ethnicity, race, i he transcended ethnicity, race, religion, age, almost all of the barriers that we were coming up against because we were, as a country, in turmoil over at brexit and i hate using that word but we have to talk about it because that is where we were when the pandemic hit and we hadn't realised the precious jewel we have, hit and we hadn't realised the preciousjewel we have, our health care sector, was going to come under attack and it did come under attack and he was brilliant because of his experiences from world war ii, he was able to say, let's rally together. that can do spirits came together. that can do spirits came to that forefront and that inspirational, this is what we have been landed with and we will deal with it. everybody else was complaining about ppe, testing, and his optimism, and i know that gets used a lot and can be a way of looking through rose tinted glasses at the world, and i get accused of being optimistic. everyone says, oh, she is optimistic, but we needed that optimism. we needed our morale to come up because loneliness, depression, the amount of people losing loved ones this vast and i, as a gp, a clinician, had to counsel patients. i had patients who, like captain sirtom patients. i had patients who, like captain sir tom moore, would see me in their sunday best. i had a patient who always came in a suit. unfortunately he succumbed to the deadly virus that is covid—19. i felt as a gp, because he wasn't going to come to my surgery any more... i think that is a reflection of how this virus took the good and the best and sometimes before their time. everybody will go at some point and it is before their time and that is the thing that is really hard to accept sometimes this is why preventative medicine, like vaccinations, being able to reach to your neighbours, extending a hand of goodwill and kindness, all of those things played a vital role in the pandemic captain sir tom moore was able to do that and supports the nhs because we need that. it is a finite resource and we need to be able to keep plugging into it as a nation to have the longevity so that when i am 100, hopefully, it will carry on and carry on. 100, hopefully, it will carry on and car on. ., ., , ., ,, .,~ 100, hopefully, it will carry on and car on. ., ., , ., ,, ., carry on. nighat, lovely to speak to ou. are

from that cash. let's start with the helen and douglas house children's hospice, in oxfordshire. clare periton is the chief executive — shejoins us from oxford — and vicky is a mum whose daughter

i get a cop of tea?— good morning, i'm sonja jessup. more than one million people in london have now had at least one dose of a vaccine to protect against covid—19. there was a ramp up of the roll—out over the weekend, with more than 108,000 jabs given across the capital. it means the nhs is ahead of its target to have offered a first dose to the four highest priority groups by mid february. meanwhile, new research suggests that, as of december last year, 12.4% of londoners had been infected by coronavirus. the study, from the medical database uk biobank, also found that most people who've had it, have antibodies that last for at least six months afterwards, suggesting they'll have some immunity for that time. the government is less likely to hit its house—building target because of foreign labourers leaving the uk and site restrictions caused by the pandemic. that's according to a report from the independent think—tank the resolution foundation. it said pre—pandemic more than half of construction workers in london were migrants, and training domestic workers to replace them will take time. the government says it is building the homes the country needs. volunteers are doubling up their daily lockdown exercise, with helping clear up a stretch of the river mole in molesey in surrey. floating pennywort has been taking over, so local people have been doing what they can to help. if we weren't doing this work, this river would simply become a swamp in a short space of time. i would say, 100%, we're saving the river. only come out for a short period — lots of fresh air out here, which then means we're as safe as we can be within the rules. let's take a look at the travel situation now. first, the tube. it's all running well — just the usual closure of the waterloo & city line. this is how it looks on the a2 — slow heading into central london at the danson interchange because of roadworks. the m25 is also slow anticlockwise between junction 24 for potters bar and 25 for enfield. the outside lane is closed for barrier repairs. and the euston road is down to one lane at the euston underpass for hs2 works till the end of the month. time for the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday temperatures almost reached 14 celsius in parts of london. today it is going to stay mild, just not quite as mild as yesterday. we've got some rain moving north. it could be heavy and persistent for a time. ahead of it, clearing east through the afternoon. we'll get some brighter spells, maybe some glimmers of sunshine as well. the temperature today getting up to 10 celsius. so we still have that mild air. now overnight tonight, it's largely clear and dry. minimum temperature above zero so, again, frost—free tomorrow morning. we're looking at four celsius the temperature overnight. so as we head into thursday and into friday, it's a mixture of sunshine and showers. temperatures are set to drop, though, as we head into the weekend. now it's this area of white that you can see there, that's the risk of snow. itjust depends how far south it heads. it's a bit of a battle again between the cold and the mild air. but it is set to get colder through the weekend, and we could get something wintry by the end of sunday and into the first part of next week. there's more from me in half an hour. plenty more on our website too. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. tomorrow you will maybe find everything will be much better than today. tomorrow will be a good day. a hero who

today's breakfast is a special programme to celebrate the life of a man who gave us so much of his time over the last ten months — captain sir tom moore, who has died at the age of 100. from his wartime service to raising nearly 40—million pounds for the nhs, we'll bring reaction and tributes breakfast�*s john maguire is in marston moretaine, the bedfordshire village where captain sir tom lived. john, good morning. i know you spent much time with the family over several months. it is a difficult time today for many people having had the sadness of his death yesterday. but also a smile

inspired so many people will stop millions of people. what an achievement. from his street to downing street, some of our most famous landmarks paid tribute to one of our most cherished sons, adored notjust by us, but by the world. for the last ten months, captain sir tom's family loaned him to all of us. but, for his final hours, they had him to themselves. in a statement, they said: "we spent hours chatting to him, modern reminiscing about our childhood and our wonderful mother. captain sir tom moore was a hero in the truest sense of the word. in the dark days of the second world war he fought for freedom, and in the face of this country's deepest post—war crisis, he united us all. he cheered us all up and he embodied the triumph of the human spirit. he'll understand that we're sad and that we're feeling a loss. but he would absolutely want us to remember what has happened, what we did, how we all came together, how we united, how we found in him a beacon. while the rest of us adapted to living a life locked down, a 99—year—old veteran of the second world war set off on a journey. it would take him to the top of the charts, into the record books and around the globe, all without leaving his back garden. captain tom moore wanted to thank the medical staff who'd cared for him following a fall. i've had such marvellous service from the national health service, particularly the nurses, after i broke my hip. the idea was born. raise money for nhs charities, keep physically active during lockdown and mark his 100th birthday with 100 laps. he might raise £100. but as he walked, we watched and the world watched in amazement, as the money went into the stratosphere and to a final total of almost £40 million. and in his wake, he redefined the charity single. # when you walk through a storm # hold your head up high # and don't be afraid of the dark.# as the uk applauded the nhs each week, its staff clapped for captain tom. this is a message for captain tom moore. thank you so much for all of your efforts and how much money you've raised for the nhs. thank you, captain tom, from the nhs. _ cheering and applause. with his 100th birthday came a spectacular and socially distanced tribute, a world war two fly—past. congratulations. happy 100th birthday. i'm one of the few people here who have seen hurricanes and spitfires flying fast in anger. fortunately, today they're all flying peacefully. the task of delivering his birthday cards became a logistical leviathan, as the planet sent its congratulations. as he inspired an army to follow in his footsteps, he became an honorary colonel of the army foundation college for young soldiers. and, in a specially arranged investiture... ..he received a private audience at windsor castle with her majesty the queen, as she awarded him a knighthood. never, never, ever did i imagine that i should get so close to the queen and have such a kind message from her. that was really outstanding, it really was truly outstanding. yesterday, the queen said she had very much enjoyed meeting captain sir tom and his family, recognising the inspiration he provided for the whole nation and across the world. places, for example, like the white house, which said: and that inspiration will continue. along with his family, he was determined to leave a legacy to build on his phenomenal success, and the captain tom foundation was created. its aims include tackling loneliness, supporting the bereaved and promoting education and equality. he will always be remembered for his optimism, his wisdom and his messages of hope. the man who walked 100 laps of his garden to help others, and who implored us all to never walk alone. tomorrow you will maybe find everything will be much better than today. tomorrow will be a good day. john maguire, bbc news, bedfordshire. # you'll never walk alone.# i could listen to that all day. what an amazing _ i could listen to that all day. what an amazing

your messages you are sending in as well. your own tributes. i saw this one this morning. quite a few people talking about the sense of history. people say when historians write about this period of

throughout the morning. let's tell you about the other news as well. research into the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine has suggested, for the first time, that it significantly reduces the spread of coronavirus. the study by oxford university also found that the jab provides good protection even with a gap of 12 weeks between the first and second doses. andy moore reports. a double dose of good news about the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine. anyone who gets the jab is less likely to pass on the virus to others, and there's support also for the government's policy of a second jab after 12 weeks. we found there was a big reduction in people being infected with coronavirus, and because they were not infected, they can't go on and transmit to other people. and so that is really important in potentially curbing the pandemic. secondly, we had really good protection right from a couple of weeks after the first dose, through to the second dose being given three months later, which tells us that there's maintained efficacy over that period. hello! hi. we're from woking council, on behalf of public health... but the news about variants is less reassuring. the surge in door—to—door testing in eight areas could now be extended to parts of bristol and liverpool, after new strains were found there that could be more resistant to vaccines. in scotland, the first minister said there would be a full lockdown until at least the end of the month, and that travellers arriving directly into scotland from any country will be asked to quarantine in a hotel, going further than measures announced in the rest of the uk. as we look ahead, we must learn from past experience. we now know, for example, that by earlyjuly last year, we had almost eliminated covid in scotland, but then allowed it to be reseeded from — in the main — overseas travel. we must guard against that happening again. in england, the ministry of defence says additional measures will be put into place at the royal military academy at sandhurst after an increase in covid cases there. a newspaper report claimed that 50 trainee officers had contracted the virus. france, meanwhile, has joined germany, austria and sweden in recommending the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine should not currently be used on people over the age of 65. the french health regulator said there was not enough data at the moment on the effectiveness of the jab in older people. health officials here in the uk say the vaccine offers a high level of protection to all age groups. andy moore, bbc news. enhanced community testing is now taking places in several areas across england, in a bid to stop the spread of new variants of coronavirus. in a moment we'll hear from ben bland in kent. first, our reporter mairead smyth is in liverpool, where

roll—out of door—to—door testing, vaccines as well. and we will also ask and to reflect on the death yesterday of captain sir tom moore. sir tom moore. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. more than one million people in london have now had at least one dose of a vaccine to protect against covid—19. there was a ramp—up of the roll—out over the weekend, with more than 108,000 jabs given across the capital. it means the nhs is ahead of its target to have offered a first dose to the four highest priority groups by mid—february. meanwhile new research suggests that, as of december last year, 12.4% of londoners had been infected by coronavirus. the study — from the medical database uk biobank — also found that most people who've had it have antibodies that last for at least six months afterwards, suggesting they'll have some immunity for that time. the government is less likely to hit its house—building target because of foreign labourers leaving the uk and site restrictions caused by the pandemic — that's according to a report from the independent think—tank the resolution foundation. it said, pre—pandemic, more than half of construction workers in london were migrants, and training domestic workers to replace them will take time. the government says it is building the homes the country needs. volunteers are doubling up their daily lockdown exercise with helping clear up a stretch of the river mole in molesey in surrey. floating pennywort has been taking over, so local people have been doing what they can to help. if we weren't doing this work, this river would simply become a swamp in a short space of time. i would say, 100%, we're saving the river. only come out for a short period — lots of fresh air out here, which then means we're as safe as we can be within the rules. let's take a look at the travel situation now. first the tube — it's all running well, just the usual closure of the waterloo & city line. time for the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday temperatures almost reached 14 celsius in parts of london. today it is going to stay mild, just not quite as mild as yesterday. we've got some rain moving north. it could be heavy and persistent for a time. ahead of it, clearing east through the afternoon. we'll get some brighter spells, maybe some glimmers of sunshine as well. the temperature today getting up to 10 celsius. so we still have that mild air. now overnight tonight, it's largely clear and dry. minimum temperature above zero, so again, frost free tomorrow morning. we're looking at four celsius the temperature overnight. so as we head into thursday and into friday, it's a mixture of sunshine and showers. temperatures are set to drop though as we head into the weekend. now it's this area of white that you can see there, that's the risk of snow. itjust depends how far south it heads. it's a bit of a battle again between the cold and the mild air. but it is set to get colder through the weekend, and we could get something wintry by the end of sunday and into the first part of next week. there's more from me in half an hour. plenty more on our website, too, at the usual address. —— there is more for me in one hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we can speak to the heath secretary matt hancock now — good morning. thank you for being with us. lots to talk about today, lots of health developments, but i would like to start if i can, because we are getting so many messages and tributes to captain sir tom moore. i know he is somebody you have spoken about in the past. how will you remember him this morning? well, the word everybody is using is that he was an inspiration, and he was. he was a wonderful symbol of people's resilience during what was incredibly difficult year. the thing i really admire about him is that when the nhs was under pressure, in that first lockdown, and all of us were having to stay at home, he didn'tjust sit at home, he asked the question, what can i do to help? and he got up on that walking frame and went round the garden and aimed to raise £1000 and has ended up raising over £30 million for the nhs, so on behalf of everybody in the nhs i am very grateful and i just take inspiration that he got up and made it happen. flan! just take inspiration that he got up

morning. i would like to talk to you about quite a bit thatis to talk to you about quite a bit that is going on under your area of authority this morning. the south african variant, 105 or so confirmed cases as we know at the moment. how concerned are you and how concerned should we be about community transmission when it comes to this variant? ., ., , ., , ., variant? there are a small

of this variant that we have - cases of this variant that we have found in the community and in those postcode areas we have set out, it is imperative that people stay at home and stop the spread of this virus. that is because, whilst we don't yet fully know the impact of the vaccine is on this variant, we want to take a highly precautionary approach and i think people understand that. the good news is that there is new evidence out last night that the oxford vaccine works and works well and is effective both at stopping hospitalisations and, crucially, at reducing transmission very significantly by around two thirds. now that is really good news, it's very positive because we know that vaccines either way out of this and this new information from oxford shows that the oxford jab woakes. given all the international questions it is important we show the world that the oxford jab works and works well. the world that the oxford 'ab works and works well.* the world that the oxford

of the oxford vaccine. the effectiveness of the vaccine is good, it is highly effective and the new information we have got is it also reduces transmission. i said many times on this programme, one of the things we don't know is the impact of the vaccines are reducing transmission. we know from earlier trials that vaccines are safe and effective at protecting the individual. we now that the oxford vaccine reduces transmission and that will help us all to get out of this pandemic, frankly, which is why it is such good news that we should welcome. when it comes to the over 65s, we have clearly looked both directly at the impact of this vaccine aren't the over 65s and the scientists looking at the impact of the vaccine on people's a response in the labs, the biology of it, means that we have a high degree of confidence that this vaccine works for all ages and. dare confidence that this vaccine works for all ages and.— for all ages and. are other countries _ for all ages and. are other

i don't know. | it is hard enough being responsible for the health system of one country during a pandemic, let alone everybody else's. what i will say is that the publication about the oxford vaccine should give everyone confident that this jab should work not only to keep you safe but also to stop you passing on the disease to stop you passing on the disease to others white when you spoke about

are in a national lockdown and so there is not strong at law we can bring in place that says really stay at home but the critical point is everybody should be staying at home unless they have to, but if you are in one of those postcode as it is absolutely imperative that you minimise all social contact outside of your house. and so this means, for instance, whereas the guidance to most of us is to go to the shops if you need to, in those areas, in the immediate term, we are saying if you have food in the house please use that. it is about a more stringent interpretation of the existing rules, trying to make sure that in those areas we do everything we possibly can to end all transmissions so that we can get this new variant rights under control. there is only a handful of cases, so we have the opportunity to really stamp on it now. in cases, so we have the opportunity to really stamp on it now.— really stamp on it now. in terms of discussion — really stamp on it now. in terms of discussion around _ really stamp on it now. in terms of discussion around new _ really stamp on it now. in terms of discussion around new variants, i really stamp on it now. in terms of discussion around new variants, a l discussion around new variants, a lot of that is linked to quarantine measures and people coming into the uk. i'm sure our viewers will be aware that nicola sturgeon says the current uk why proposals don't go far enough and in scotland they are looking at to fit border measures including mandatory hotel quarantine for all arrivals from all foreign countries. why is there not a joined up countries. why is there not a joined up approach across the nations on this crucial issue?— this crucial issue? well, you will have to ask _ this crucial issue? well, you will have to ask nicola _ this crucial issue? well, you will have to ask nicola sturgeon - this crucial issue? well, you will. have to ask nicola sturgeon back. what i will say is that we have brought in very stringent measures at the border already. everybody coming into this country as a passenger has to isolate and it is a legal requirement to declare where you have been. but legal requirement to

- action look like? well, there is a - strengthened enforcement, meaning we are putting more people onto the task of enforcing that people do isolate when they come in from overseas and of course we have discussed the need for countries of particular concern for hotel quarantine, as in as soon as you get off the plane you have to go into a hotel for ten days. the details of that will be sent out shortly. i wanted some specific detail on that. we have spoken to a number of government ministers on the issue and nobody has been able to give a day as to when that will happen quite what are we looking at? me quite what are we looking at? we will set quite what are we looking at? - will set out the details of it shortly and what matters is that, at the moment, we have stringent isolation in place and it is absolutely critical that people follow that isolation. it is required in law and we have put in more and strengthen enforcement of that because obviously it is one of the important things to do to protect people. the the important things to do to protect people-— the important things to do to protect people. the question i wanted to _ protect people. the question i wanted to ask

that's right. good morning. we have rain, sleet and snow and even some sunshine. most of the rain, sleet and snow is across northern england and snow is across northern england and also scotland but we have some rain across southern england and northern ireland. we also have the cold air in place across northern areas and mild air in place across the south. through the next few days, look how we have the blues, yellows clinging on in the south—east, the milder conditions, but through the weekend, particularly later saturday into sunday and then monday, a rash of blues across the country and more of us will see snow. snow this morning, some are still falling on the hills in northern england also across the southern uplands, central and the highlands. most is falling above 150 metres. at lower levels it is tending to be sleet and some rain. later in the day we could see snow down to lower levels across parts of the highlands. one scotland, sunshine for view, some wintry showers and for the bulk of england and wales away from the system we are looking at sunshine, a few showers. heavy rain are strolling across the southern areas and that will exacerbate the flooding risk. northern ireland also some showery outbreaks of rain today but should tend to either touch through the afternoon. belfast, highs of seven. 11 in london but only four in edinburgh. if you are interested in the kind of snow depths we are looking at, above 200 metres in scotland we could see between ten and 20 centimetres of fresh snow falling. that could lead to some disruption. through the evening and overnight you can see why. we have more snow across hills in northern england, more across parts of southern and eastern scotland. blowing and drifting of the snow and then more rain coming in across parts of wales and northern england. this, combined with some melting snow, means that here, too, the risk of localised flooding is exacerbated and we have temperatures falling to about one in norwich, two in glasgow. another cold night in prospect. thursday, still the combination of rain, sleet and snow, most of the snow on the hills in northern england and also southern and eastern scotland stop better chance of drier conditions in western scotland but there will be showers coming in and some in the west will be heavy and thundery but still we are clinging on to the milder air in still we are clinging on to the milderair in the still we are clinging on to the milder air in the south, still cold in the north. friday, the low pressure dragging our weather will have drifted further south. everything moves around it in an anticlockwise direction so you can see the rain coming in across the coast of scotland but then this snow, which could be disruptive. the colder air also filtering around this area of low pressure, bringing in some showers. we will see temperatures dip touch in the west but through the weekend they will dip where it has been so mild, and by

all. sarah, a nurse, isaid, iam sat here crying over this tragic loss. feeling hopeless —— when feeling hopeless we should remember his face that tomorrow will be a better day. we should never lose hope stocking up on into her wet says, he was a true british hero who epitomised the saying, the difference between the possible and impossible is a measure of determination. so many of us feel like we are personally connected to him. we are so deliver blessed to have witnessed what he achieved. he raised 40 million when he was alive, could we raise another 40 million in his memory? please ask

came this 99—year—old man who had hoped to raise £1000 and we all sort of bought into it and were amazed and dazzled by him, and as he began a inspiring other people to raise their own money he just

michael vaughan was one of those he was able to celebrate that with him. have a look. captain sir tom moore loved cricket — and, like me, he also loved yorkshire. so, on his 100th birthday, it was an honour to present him with an honorary england cap. it's marvellous, isn't it? it suits you, captain tom! thank you. thank you very much, everyone. the sport looked very different in the 1920s when tom grew up idolising the old greats of the game. but in 2020 he became the inspiration — the world of sport paid tribute to him. what you've achieved is — - it goes way beyond the money. i i think you look at every household, i everybody knows who sir tom is now. a tribute from lewis hamilton meant so much to tom. he loved formula one and motor sport. bringing together a nation - and inspiring so many and helping those that really need it most. and injuly, he was honoured by another centurion — david beckham, with 100+ caps for his country, gave him a very special award from english football. i think you've been able to shine a light and bring a smile - to millions of people's faces. then in december, tom was winning again — at sports personality of the year. this really is a magnificent award. i never, ever anticipated that i would have received this award. tom even has his own award at the ceremony now — the first captain tom unsung hero of the year award was won by tobias weller, who walked a marathon in lockdown 1. sport has honoured captain tom — now we remember him. iam i am still looking at all your tributes, your memories of captain tom. thank you so much for all of those and throughout the programme we are looking back and john maguire has done a piece which particularly made me smile. joyful moments he brought us all over the last nine and so so.

whom we have spoken to on the programme over the last few months. i don't know what it was like in yourfamily few months. i don't know what it was like in your family yesterday but we spoke to our kids, i explained what happened, and there was a tangible sense of sadness because they have all watched and read and at school they have been doing projects about what he did and how he has inspired

on the front of go magazine. the yorkshire post pays tribute to his modesty, his vitality, his dignity and resolution and the paper calls him a quiet document like no other. his achievements made headlines far beyond our shores. let's look at how cbs revealed that he had died. captain tom moore, the british world war ii veteran who raised millions for front line health care workers treating covid patients, has died. captain moore went to the hospital sunday after testing positive for covid—19. queen elizabeth knighted moore last summer, after he walked more than 100 laps in his garden to raise money to support medical workers during the pandemic. it's truly amazing. we ran several stories on him on cbs. - you are like, what are i you doing with your life? he was so inspiring, so optimistic. it wasn't just his walking, but also that optimism i that was absolutely contagious. we know that he was a huge fan of cricket. we are joined we know that he was a huge fan of cricket. we

100 years and unfortunately yesterday we lost him but i think the legacy he is leaving at the amount of money he has raised for the nhsjust by being at the amount of money he has raised for the nhs

when it was coming up to his hundredth birthday we all felt in cricket that there was only one present he deserved, the three lions on his cap to wear on his head. he got the tie and blazer, as well. everything an england cricketer stands for and what he has delivered through his life, but particularly over the last ten months, i don't think there is a more deserving of an england cricketer to get that cap on him and i was the lucky one to have that chance to give him that cap on that birthday, so i speak on behalf of all present and past england cricketers that we feel it is a huge honour that

you couldn't help but be inspired to be a better person not quite what i love about him and this is reflected in many comments yesterday, is here is a fellow who _ comments yesterday, is here is a

centenary he really played a captain's innings. it all started as a familyjoke — something to keep captain tom moore, a world war ii veteran, active during lockdown — 100 laps of his back garden to raise £100 for nhs charities, to be completed by his 100th birthday. if we as a country can show the same spirit of optimism and energy shown by captain tom moore, who turns 100 this week... but each step here took him closer to a final total of almost £40 million. inches to go — and there he is. congratulations — well done. closer to globalfame... ..and closer to a specially arranged appointment with her majesty the queen, as he was knighted and became captain sir tom. lovely story coming up. a 99—year—old war veteran has decided to walk 100 lengths of his back garden — he wants to raise money for the nhs. we first met captain tom on breakfast back in april. i've had such marvellous service, from the national health service — particularly the nurses — after i broke my hip, i had marvellous service from all the staff. as he walked and walked, the world — in the grip of a pandemic — followed his endeavours step by step. you may have heard the name captain tom moore around the world... captain tom moore ist ein 99—jahrige britischer kriegsveteran. _ and i'm nowjoined by captain tom moore. great to have you on the programme. i know you must be - absolutely exhausted, tom. no, i'm not! iam! you are! i mean, i'm a yorkshireman — you don't get exhausted by things like that! it's amazing. what i love also is that he's a 99—year—old war vet. you know, he's been around a long time, knows everything. and it's wonderful that everyone kind of is being inspired by his story, his determination. so, you know, i think he's a... he's a one—man fundraising machine. god knows what the final total will be, but good on him — i hope he keeps going. well, that, ithink, is absolutely amazing — that my super prince can say something like that. hi, this is a message for captain tom moore. thank you so much for all of your efforts and how much money you've raised for the nhs. thank you, captain tom, from the nhs! _ as the globe watched, the charity money rolled in, and the record books were rewritten as he approached the finish line. and here he comes — captain tom moore — approaching his 100th birthday. 100 laps of his garden during lockdown, all of the money going to nhs charities, a guard of honour from the 1st battalion, the yorkshire regiment. inches to go — and there he is. congratulations — well done! absolutely amazing, amazing achievement. captain tom, how do you feel this morning? fine, fine, yes. i mean, i'm surrounded by the right sort of people so, yes, i feel fine. i hope you're all feeling fine, too! well, we are feeling much more fine. i think we've all been inspired — the whole country — it seems like the whole world has been inspired by your achievement. oh, thank you. as the thanks and donations flooded in, the stars came out to support him, and to embark on another challenge — albeit a very different one. tom, it's... it's an extraordinary achievement, and i've been trying to think of a song that encapsulates what you're doing, how you're inspiring all of us. all and, um...i have one, ithink. i'm sort of stealing it from the people of liverpool, but it seemed appropriate. when you walk through a storm, hold your head up high. and don't be afraid of the dark. and another record — as the duet with michael ball made captain tom the oldest person to score a number—one single. and we can say good afternoon to captain tom moore. hello. hello, how are you? i'm good. ijust need to say congratulations because you are the uk's official number one. that... that really is... captain sir tom chuckles. that... i'm struggling... i'm trying my hardest to say what it is. it's so funny — i mean, it's extraordinary. - it really is — that's a special something, isn't it? # alone! # you'll never walk alone. his 100 laps done, the next milestone was his own centenary — celebrated in some style with a world war ii fly—past. congratulations on your 100th birthday! i am one of the few people here who have seen a hurricane and spitfires flying past in anger — fortunately today they're all flying peacefully. an ocean of birthday cards flooded in from well—wishers around the world. his walking inspired many others to follow in his footsteps and raise money. despite having lived for 100 years, captain tom seemed to be cramming a lifetime of achievements intojust a few months. already named an honorary colonel, he was about to receive the ultimate accolade. captain sir tom moore — good morning, congratulations. how does it feel to be a knight of the realm this morning? to get this honour is so outstanding that...| really can't say how different i feel, but i certainly feel that i've been given a very outstanding honour by the queen and the prime minister. it is so well deserved. what you have done in bringing together a nation and inspiring so many and helping those that really need it most. honestly, i am in awe of you. i'm looking forward to that — i hope she's not a very heavy—handed with the sword. and he didn't have to wait long to find out. never, never, ever did i imagine that i should get so close to the queen, and have such a kind message from her. that was really outstanding — it really was truly outstanding. captain sir tom and his family never expected such a momentous response. with the return of lockdown, he stepped forward once again to encourage us to walk and to talk to combat isolation. if we can all do a little walk together and show that we've all got the right idea in mind — that we're all looking for the future, for things to get better. his walk had rocketed him to worldwide fame. yet his humility, his dignity, and his humanity meant he took it all in his stride — with a smile, a glint in his eye, and always a wise word or two. tomorrow, you'll be fine. everything will be much better than today. tomorrow will be a good day! welcome if it's possible to have a lump in your throat and of the hair is standing on the back of your neck, that is what i have

moore's place in our national history. but the word of his achievements spread well beyond the uk — and the sad news of his death was covered by many european outlets. and there were plaudits from the new us presidentjoe biden, too. the white house tweeted that "captain sir tom moore inspired millions through his life and his actions". here, the prime minister boris johnson described captain sir tom as "a hero in the truest sense". in the dark days of the second world war he fought for freedom, and in the face of this country's deepest post—war crisis, he united us all. he cheered us all up and he embodied the triumph of the human spirit. and the world of sport — that captain sir tom loved so much — has been paying tribute, too. we heard from a former england cricket captain earlier — michael vaughan — but here's what the current one had to say. he loved his cricket. as i mentioned, i did chat, talk to him and he spoke very fondly of, throughout his whole life, going and watching games of cricket — whether it be at yorkshire, or watching, as well — on the tv more recently — international stuff, so... from the whole cricket community, he'll be sadly missed. flags on many government buldings in london are flying at half—mast today — including 10 downing street. we can see a live shot now. among captain sir tom's many achievements last year, was a number one single with the west end star michael ball. wejust heard a quick blast of it. shall we have another one? we can speak to michael now. he joins us from west london. what's wonderful today in some ways is that he

time now to get the news, travel and weather where good morning, i'm sonja jessup. more than one million people in london have now had at least one dose of a vaccine to protect against covid—19. there was a ramp—up of the roll—out over the weekend, with more than 108,000 jabs given across the capital. it means the nhs is ahead of its target to have offered a first dose to the for highest priority groups by mid—february. meanwhile new research suggests that — as of december last year — 12.4% of londoners had been infected by coronavirus. the study — from the medical database uk biobank — also found that most people who've had it have antibodies that last for at least six months afterwards, suggesting they'll have some immunity for that time. the government is less likely to hit its house—building target because of foreign labourers leaving the uk and site restrictions caused by the pandemic — that's according to a report from the independent think—tank the resolution foundation. it said, pre—pandemic, more than half of construction workers in london were migrants, and training domestic workers to replace them will take time. the government says it is building the homes the country needs. volunteers are doubling up their daily lockdown exercise with helping clear up a stretch of the river mole in molesey in surrey. floating pennywort has been taking over, so local people have been doing what they can to help. if we weren't doing this work, this river would simply become a swamp in a short space of time. i would say, 100%, we're saving the river. only come out for a short period — lots of fresh air out here, which then means we're as safe as we can be within the rules. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, the bakerloo line has no service between elephant & castle and lambeth north due to signalfailure. the hammersmith & city line has severe delays — some trains have been cancelled, so that's hitting the service. the roadworks on the a2 at the danson interchange are slowing things down as usual heading into central london. the m25 is also slow anticlockwise between junction 24 for potters bar and 25 for enfield — the outside lane is closed for barrier repairs. time for the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday temperatures almost reached 14 celsius in parts of london. today it is going to stay mild, just not quite as mild as yesterday. we've got some rain moving north. it could be heavy and persistent for a time. ahead of it, clearing east through the afternoon. we'll get some brighter spells, maybe some glimmers of sunshine as well. the temperature today getting up to 10 celsius. so we still have that mild air. now overnight tonight, it's largely clear and dry. minimum temperature above zero so, again, frost—free tomorrow morning. we're looking at four celsius the temperature overnight. so as we head into thursday and into friday, it's a mixture of sunshine and showers. temperatures are set to drop, though, as we head into the weekend. now it's this area of white that you can see there, that's the risk of snow. itjust depends how far south it heads. it's a bit of a battle again between the cold and the mild air. but it is set to get colder through the weekend, and we could get something wintry by the end of sunday and into the first part of next week. there's more from me in half an hour. now it's back to dan and louise — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we're on bbc one until 9.15 today, when moring live takes over. you are used to it now. let's find out what's in store. good morning. good morning, thank ou. it's good morning. good morning, thank you- it's been _ good morning. good morning, thank you. it's been really _ good morning. good morning, thank you. it's been really moving, -

countries, how will it work? well, the public health advice i have - the public health advice i have shared with you before is pretty straightforward. don't bring virus into a country with a low prevalence. so don't import. so, actually, that is relatively straightforward if you are isolated geographically. it is easier for new zealand than for europe and the uk. so we would love a 5—nation solution to this. the public health advisers would love the irish, the four uk countries, to come together and think about this together. in lieu of that, because that negotiation and conversation is ongoing, we have decided in scotland, the scottish government have decided, all international arrivals will have to have supported quarantine for ten days. so if you come to scotland from overseas, even if you come via newcastle or heathrow, you will have to go into a supported quarantine in scotland for ten days.— scotland for ten days. supported quarantine _ scotland for ten days. supported quarantine means _ scotland for ten days. supported quarantine means what? -

too late? it is not too late but we should learn lessons and one - too late? it is not too late but we i should learn lessons and one lesson we should learn is what happened last summer. we do an enormous amount of genetic analysis in the uk, 10% of all cases get full genetic analysis. most countries do not. we know of the variance we got between july and september last year, most were not here in betweenjuly and september last year, most were not here in april and may. they were new. it is the same virus but they were new variants. most of them exactly the same except for a few genetic dots different stock not the south african one that is more difficult for the uk one that is more different. that would suggest we got the virus out of a low level and then let it back in so let's stop doing that again. you then let it back in so let's stop doing that again.— then let it back in so let's stop doing that again. you may not have the details but — doing that again. you may not have the details but eventually _ the details but eventually newcastle, let's say somebody arrives back to the uk, they arrive in newcastle and live, for example, in newcastle and live, for example, in stirling, how would they get to the hotel, how would you make sure that happens quit you bring up a point about why we would rather do it uk wide. . ~ . point about why we would rather do it uk wide. . ~ , ., it uk wide. first minister has made it uk wide. first minister has made it known on — it uk wide. first minister has made it known on some _ it uk wide. first minister has made it known on some calls _ it uk wide. first minister has made it known on some calls and - it uk wide. first minister has made j it known on some calls and publicly that she would much rather we did this as the full uk country. you are right. let's say dumfries does well and gets prevalence down, or the western isles, which has happened previously. virus free in the western isles. we don't want to import virus from dumfries to the western isles so it doesn't matter what geography you use, it doesn't matter about national boundaries, the virus doesn't care. if you get low prevalence you should try not to import around that. we would rather do that uk wide but if we have to do it a scotland wide it gets more complex, you are right. we would rely on people to tell us where they have come from and to voluntarily go into that isolation. we think that will happen. it is already illegal to move across the borders without essential reasons to travel stop there would still be exceptions to this. if you wear a truck driver with raspberries or at length of course you can still travel, but we really need to not import more cases of this virus to get domestic normality back. the price is international travel restrictions to get domestic normality back. let’s get domestic normality back. let's talk about domestic _ get domestic normality back. let's talk about domestic normality and a scotland's link youngest pupils likely to return —— back out scotland's youngest pupils likely to return by 22nd of february. do you have details on which age groups and when all pupils may be able to return? . . when all pupils may be able to return? , , , , return? the first bit yes, the second bit — return? the first bit yes, the second bit needs _ return? the first bit yes, the second bit needs a _ return? the first bit yes, the second bit needs a crystal i return? the first bit yes, the i second bit needs a crystal ball. return? the first bit yes, the - second bit needs a crystal ball. the first bit, yes, we have said that if numbers continue to fall... our prevalence just numbers continue to fall... our prevalencejust now is numbers continue to fall... our prevalence just now is about 148 per 100,000, half of the last few weeks and it is half of england's prevalence, so that is why we are going a bit earlier than england and wales. we are saying that the group thatis wales. we are saying that the group that is suffering the most in the longer term, that is suffering the most in the longerterm, nursery that is suffering the most in the longer term, nursery children and p1-3, longer term, nursery children and p1—3, they will come back on the 22nd if numbers continue to move in the right direction. that is all of them back in early learning and child care settings and p1—p3 and a very small group of senior pupils who are on a critical path to qualification, particularly those who do practical subjects like art, music, technical subject, who do practical subjects like art, music, technicalsubject, it who do practical subjects like art, music, technical subject, it may be going for an apprenticeship or a job. if they don't get some face—to—face time inside the school building they will not get the qualification. so quite gentle starting and then gradually, if numbers continue to fall, three weeks later, three weeks later, three weeks later, we will think about bringing work back. lbyiiso three weeks later, we will think about bringing work back. also told ou a little about bringing work back. also told you a little bit _ about bringing work back. also told you a little bit about _ about bringing work back. also told you a little bit about the _ about bringing work back. also told you a little bit about the ups -
