to see the weather turning colder right the way across the uk, and for some, seems like these will be possible — heavy snow, maybe even blizzards. but not for all. i will have all the details for you coming up. it's saturday the sixth of february. our top story: scientists are warning against easing lockdown measures too quickly, despite the progression of the coronavirus vaccination programme. the government says all adults over the age of 50 should be offered a jab by may, and with infection rates falling, the prime minister is under pressure to set out a road map for lifting restrictions. rhaya barton has more. nearly 11 million people have been given their first nearly 11 million people have been given theirfirstjab. nearly 11 million people have been given their firstjab. the government is increasingly confident it will hit its target of giving vaccines to the over 70s, all frontline health workers and the clinically extremely vulnerable by the middle of next month, so now it's looking further ahead. my goal is i want is — it's looking further ahead. my goal is i want is to _ it's looking further ahead. my goal is i want is to be _ it's looking further ahead. my goal is

want is to be able to offer a . is i want is to be able to offer a vaccine to all over 50s, priority groups one to nine, by may. there's a lot of things we've got to get right in order to hit that goal, and obviously suppliers the most difficult of all of those. but we are currently on track for that. just over 10,971,000 people have now received their first dose of a vaccine. 19,114 new cases of coronavirus were reported in the latest 24—hour period, with a further 1014 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. the prime minister says, as the vaccination programme intensifies, he'll set out the roadmap later this month for easing lockdown restrictions. but he has worn these are early days, and infection rates are still very high. scientists too are urging caution. i totally understand we want to try and get back to normal, but the danger is, if we relax too rapidly, we will have a resurgence and end up going into another lockdown, so we really need to ease out of this very quickly so we don't lose the gains we get from vaccination by allowing people to mix will more rapidly and spread the virus more. in a people to mix will more rapidly and spread the virus more.—

injured after a series of stabbings in south london overnight. police are currently investigating whether the incidents are linked. simonjones is in croydon for us this morning. simon, what more do we

police brought in extra powers, a section 60 order giving them extra authority to carry out stop—and—search in the area last night. they also brought extra offices onto the street to act as a deterrent against further violence. the local mp has described what happened is horrific. he says his thoughts are with the family of the man who died and all the emergency services who responded to this. small businesses that took out government loans to keep them afloat during the pandemic are being given more time to repay them. to date 1.4 million businesses have borrowed £45 billion, and they will now have up to ten years, rather than six, to pay back the money. the chancellor, rishi sunak, said he wanted to give firms breathing space to get back on their feet. president biden has

of agencies. damejulie andrews has led the tributes being paid to the actor christopher plummer, who's died at the age of 91. the pair worked together on the oscar—winning film the sound of music,

her 70th year on the throne. the monach would normally mark the annual occasion in sandringham, but the pandemic means for the first time in 31 years, she'll be at windsor castle for the anniversary. the queen, who is the nation's longest reigning monarch, isjust one year away from her platinum jubilee. let's take a look at today's papers. the times reports that ministers are planning to seize control of the nhs with laws to block the closure of hospitals and overrule bosses. according to the paper, this will allow the government to do things like put fluoride in water to cut tooth decay and health warnings on sausages. we've got the former health secretary, jeremy hunt, on the programme later, so we might ask him about that. the guardian says the education secretary is drawing up plans for a phased return of students to universities in england from the eighth of march, returning to face—to—face teaching first. but vice—chancellors are warning many students are unlikely to be back on campus before the summer. the daily mirrorfront page reports that vaccine passports could allow people in the uk to enjoy holidays abroad this summer. you've probably heard about those ideas. the headline says the news is "a ray of sunlight". finally, the daily star leads with the video of the handforth parish council meeting that has become an internet sensation. the headline reads: "is this the best parish council meeting in the world ever?" we'll be speaking to the surprise star of that video, jackie weaver, a little bit later on. it was one of those moments where i was off social media for 24 hours, which i try to be when i'm not working, and when i logged back on, it exploded all over me. very funny. 8:45am we will be speaking to jackie weaver, and if you haven't had the opportunity yet, it's worth seeking out. as a journalist you must have covered those sorts of meetings in your early years, charlie. as people who were following that story and knew about that place — even they were saying that was the further reaches of how that kind of thing can go. it's brilliant. a couple of inside pages. this one, just because i do love a story about something that looks like someone in some food. a piece of toast with elvis's face in it? exactly. this one is a piece of banana with a dog's face in it. there's the dog, there's the piece of banana. it's a pekinese pooch called vinnie. its owner was scrolling through facebook when she spotted the face of her pet in someone else's breakfast. it wasn't even her banana! i think that's one of the best i've ever seen — absolutely brilliant. if you'd held up that picture briefly on its own, i would have thought that was a dog, not a banana. exactly, specifically vinny is a pekinese poodle. that's fantastic, absolutely brilliant. the bits of joy brilliant. the bits ofjoy we bring you on a saturday morning. i've got nothing to rival that, so i'm going to go back to a favourite of mine, which is both days. i never mind a nod to a couple of birthdays and whose birthday it is today. you can tell at one stage in his career he had to fill in on commercial radio, can't you? you don't want to play the game? i exclude you. kevin whateley is 70 today. no! this is a good game. many congratulations to kevin. and rick astley, of course, a friend of this programme do we have spoken to many, many times. it is rick astley�*s birthday today. he is 55 years old. do you want some more? go on — i'm getting into it now. axl rose, the singer — not, knock, knocking on heaven �*s door. do you want to guess? he's been around for nearly 60? the way this works is you can't see nearly 60. i'm going to say 60. you are wrong — 59. not that wrong! one last one. jimmy tarbox, the comedian. do you want to have — maybe it's undignified to guess jimmy tarbuck�*s age. he this morning is 81. wow. congratulations to all those people. i look ahead to all the things we have this morning. every saturday for the past few weeks we've had our panel at 9:10am. this week there's been so much about vaccines, about the rollout and the success of the rollout, so there may be questions you have about that, and they may be around mixing the vaccine. there's been a lot about that. the other story today is speculation about when pubs might be up and running again, which might be on your mind on a saturday morning, heading into a six nations weekend. loads of sport this weekend, which we'll get into a bit later. here's susan with a look at this morning's weather. not only today but the week ahead. the big story is that it will turn colder for all of the big story is that it will turn colderfor all of us. no matter where you are you will notice that area sinking across scandinavia but snow will also be a big story for some parts of the uk. recent days and it has been northern scotland badly impacted. notice the amber warning is still sitting here until lunchtime today and you can still see that snow on the chart is the day gets under way. further south it is raining coastal rain initially for scotland, all the time that cold is cutting its way south across the uk. notice blue turning to wide across northern england, and notice the temperatures to the north of the uk. there is still rain across england and wales, sunshine for wales in the south—west and then we had through the night and keep your eye on where the white extends to. particularly towards the south. we have a weather front and that is going to bring solid snow into some south—eastern counties of the uk. it is a widespread frost, perhaps in the west some towson city that make towns and cities spared. you drag the cold air from scandinavia all the cold air from scandinavia all the way south across the uk and then to the south cleaning up from france we have a storm cold darcy and this trailing weather front will sit across parts of east anglia and the south—east and pilot snow through sunday. this area, indicated in oranges area picked up for an amber warning for the greatest risk of disruption but you can see that system stretches all the way across to places like oxfordshire and notice also the strength of the wind. lizard conditions where we have this snow, snowed shower streaming further north as well, sheltered western areas will do best and sunshine and dry weather so it doesn't look too bad across the southern midlands, wales and the south—west but it will feel raw. bearin south—west but it will feel raw. bear in mind the temperatures are down on recent figures and we must figure in the biting eastern wind. it still choose away at us on monday where we are streaming that cold air across the uk. we should lose some of the intensity of the snow from the south—east and further north we will see showers again pushing in off the north sea towards the west there will be sunshine but you must be wondering what on earth we were talking about in terms of snow on the one thing you will not doubt is the one thing you will not doubt is the cold. this is the temperature as you read them on the thermometer. factor in the easterly wind and this is more what it will feel like. and thatis is

movies to enjoy in the comfort and safety of your own home. in grimur hakonarson's deadpan 2015 gem rams, two feuding sheep farming brothers in a secluded icelandic valley are forced into common enterprise when scrapie threatens their ancestral stock. look at you, my dearies. you are beautiful. but you're the best. now in directorjeremy sims' remake of ram, which is available on a range of digital platforms, the chilly vistas of iceland are replaced by the sunshine of western australia with sam neill and michael caton playing colin and les, neighbouring sibling rivals who haven't exchanged much more than a grunt in years. clicks tongue. when a cull of their prize stock is ordered to prevent infection, colin decides to bend the rules and hide a few of his sheep in his house. sheep bleating. but when the authorities come calling, can the estranged brothers bury their differences? bring her in... get behind, get behind! dog barks. good dog. there you go. bring her in, yeah, good, good dog. oh, come on, stop mucking around! this is a much warmer, jollier and ultimately frothier film than its predecessor, replacing the sometimes piercing truthfulness of the sublimely morose star with a more amiable but less memorable feel—good factor. dog whines. miranda richardson and wayne blair while neil and caton last of the challenge of characters whose beardy silence often speaks louder than words. it's all entertaining enough, but if you want the real deal, check out hakonarson's original, along with his follow—up, the county, both of which are available on disc and streaming services. now, for viewers of a certain vintage, the name robert lloyd holds special significance. the front man ofjohn peel favourites the prefect and the nightingales, lloyd is something of a folk hero — a musician whose lengthy career has been untroubled by fame and fortune but still touched by greatness. so this pub, the eagle, in balsall heath, that was the offices of vindaloo records... it was, yeah. so you had an office above it or in the back? no, it wasjust — the back bar was where... you mean, you were in there a lot? in director michael cummings' affectionate and insightful documentary king rocker, comedian and friend stewart lee draws a parallel between lloyd and nicholas monro's giant statue of king kong, both of which were rejected and then later reclaimed by the city of birmingham and the wider world. i thought, "right, i'll make a song out of that," which i did... capturing lloyd in his natural surroundings — be it a pub, a curry house, ora gig, king rocker does a brilliant job of exploring what makes lloyd so special and why his music is beloved by die—hard fans while still remaining unknown to so many. but i begin to worry that what if i peg it and they still don't buy the record! now, i have said many times that the true test of a documentary is whether it engages you in a subject in which you had no previous interest. but for me, the idea of a documentary about rob lloyd presented by stewart lee was always going to be a slam dunk. but the real triumph of cummings' anti—rockumentary is that even if you've never heard of lloyd, i guarantee you'll come out of this wanting to track down his back catalogue. eschewing the talking heads clips and interviews format, king rocker is closer to an andrew cotting—style collage, finding moments of truth and apparently chaotic happenstance making connections that are more intuitive and emotional than factual and historical. then you go, "no, that's not true! "who told you that?" you did at an earlier date. it helps that both lloyd and lee are masters of witheringly self—deprecating humour. neither seem set on winning any popularity contests, a quality that simply makes this doc all the more likeable. like the real—life tragi—comedy anvil: the story of anvil, king rocker has its spinal tap moments, not least when lee takes the subject to visit some standing stones with which lloyd is impressively unimpressed. you seem to want the nightingales to be remembered in some way — maybe not unlike this! i hope they're remembered more fondly than this! like that statue of a giant cinema ape, king rocker finds beauty, heroism and even a whiff of transcendence in the most unlikely places. i loved it. king rocker premieres on sky arts on saturday at 9pm with subsequent screenings and catch—up options and even hopes for a cinema release later in the year. in french: no. laetitia dosch was the mesmerising star ofjeune femme, aka montparnasse bienvenue, a portrait of a young parisian struggling with the fractured shards of her personality. dosch is equally impressive, although dramatically less well served, in simple passion, aka passion simple. she plays helene, a literary scholar and single mother involved in an obsessive and somewhat self—destructive affair with a married russian embassy official played by ballet bad boy sergei polunin. what are you doing? i'm just filming you so i can remember you when you're gone. their relationship is almost entirely physical with aleksandr, who has a wife and family in moscow, giving little of himself other than his heavily—tattooed body, while helene wants more, even travelling to moscow just to be able to breathe the same air as the object of her obsession. adapted from an early 90s novel by annie ernaux and directed by french—lebanese film—maker danielle arbid, this is heartfelt but also rather hackneyed fare, a film that requires us to care about a doomed relationship between two people who have apparently nothing in common and neither of whom does anything of interest other than behave badly — to themselves, to each other, to theirfamilies and ultimately to us the audience. while dosch, who carries the movie, can breathe inventive life into any character she takes on, polunin just seems to be playing himself as a boringly mono—dimensional, heavily tattooed, macho putin fan. what helene sees in him other than his pert backside is a mystery. add to this a soundtrack full of perky pop covers that might be ironic but mayjust be plain bad, and simple passion — or passion simple — left me longing for this dreary relationship to be over. you canjudge it for yourself on curzon home cinema. for something altogether more invigorating, let me point you in the direction of greenland. no, not the country, but the apocalyptic disaster movie which pits gerard butler against an approaching comet that threatens to wipe out life on earth. on radio: this is | an emergency alert. small molten debris expected to fall in upstate new york... | isn't that where we are? yeah. seek shelter immediately. do not stand in the open. explosion. butler isjohn garrity, an atla nta—based structural engineer attempting to rebuild his broken marriage to estranged wife allison, played by deadpool�*s morena baccarin. the couple's young son nathan is thrilled by news stories of clark, a cluster comet due to make the closest flyby in history. but whenjohn receives a presidential alert on his phone announcing that his family have been chosen for shelter, it becomes clear that bits of clark are headed straight for earth. while fans of butler's action movies may be expecting him to just punch the comet out of existence, greenland instead casts him as just another ordinaryjoe caught up in the same chaos as everybody else — trying to save his family whilst facing trafficjams, angry neighbours, and failing phone signals with surprisingly nail—biting results. despite the spectacular scenes of destruction you'd expect from a film that looks like a relative of deep impact or armageddon, what makes greenland special is the degree to which it trades on tension, anxiety and a really palpable sense of rising panic. yes, the fire falling from the sky is scary, but not as scary as the sight of terrified crowds running riot, or ofjohn getting separated from his wife and child, leaving them to fend for themselves in a hostile world. i'm going to get my family into that bunker. based on a sharp script by chris sparling, who wrote the stripped down horrorfilm buried, and directed by angel has fallen helmer ric roman waugh, greenland is a real treat. a grippingly—executed genre pic that punches well above its mid—budget weight to deliver top drawer popcorn thrills. it's available now on amazon prime. i'll leave you with news of a glitch in the matrix, the new documentary from director rodney ascher, whose room 237 took a deep dive into the mysteries of stanley kubrick's the shining. there are fundamental metaphors about reality waking up from a dream. we have this cognitive experience of shifting between realities. there's another world behind this world. ok, so, this is going to set the tenor for everything. investigating simulation theory and its relationship to the wachowskis' hit movie franchise, ascher�*s latest asks whether we are all living in a computer—generated reality, with clips of writer philip k dick who asserted that reality was an illusion back in the 70s, and elon musk, who argues that the speed of technological progress makes simulation theory much more than a fantasy. if you assume any rate of improvement at all, then the games will become indistinguishable from reality. we also hear from professor nick bostrom, author of the 2003 essay "are you living in a computer simulation?", along with a collection of gamers and internet philosophers who appear as 3d fantasy avatars. for the most part, this is breezily conceptual fare — an engaging riff on modern what—if theories illustrated with clips from movies and minecraft. but there's a darker side, too, asjoshua cook recounts how his own obsession with simulation theories played into his ongoing mental health problems with fatal consequences. at the heart of a glitch in the matrix is a simple question. even if you do believe that reality is simulated, which i don't, would that actually change the way that you behave? and if so, how and why? you can ponder the answers to those philosophical questions at dogwoof.com and on other streaming platforms. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. whistling: fine ram, all right. he's going to be a busy boy, i reckon! what do you mean? hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. there's so much sport to get through this weekend, so it's straight over to mike, who can bring us up to speed on all sorts. the cricket is going well for england, but the six nations is back. it feels like a bit of normality is returning. last season it was delayed till the autumn. it retains to its normal place, but of course there are no crowds, which will be so strange, because of all sporting events in the world the six nations depends on the crowds, the noise, the songs under rivalries. we will still have that, but it will be an interesting experience. will the home advantage completely disappear? we saw last night it was all away wins, and that's why scotland could fancy their chances of a first win at twickenham since 1983. they won't have the roar of the songs to contend with. so it's back — the men's six nations. as the traditional sporting bonanza to take us into spring returns, it's all a bit different at the moment. there will be no fans at twickenham as england begin the defence of their title in the calcutta cup match against scotland. joe wilson reports. sport brings a late winter gift. anyone can enjoy the spectacle. it's all about the people, the crowds — well, it was. this year the joy depends on the teams. it well, it was. this year the 'oy depends on the teams. it feels like the first day. _ depends on the teams. it feels like the first day, mate. _ depends on the teams. it feels like the first day, mate. one _ depends on the teams. it feels like the first day, mate. one of - depends on the teams. it feels like the first day, mate. one of the i the first day, mate. one of the things that struck me, particularly in this campaign and given the circumstances, is how much our players love playing rugby. it helps when ou players love playing rugby. it helps when you win- _ players love playing rugby. it helps when you win. scotland _ players love playing rugby. it helps when you win. scotland haven't i players love playing rugby. it helps l when you win. scotland haven't done that at twickenham since 1983, but their last match here finished 33—33 — breathtaking. their last match here finished 33-33 - breathtaking-— - breathtaking. people are struggling _ - breathtaking. people are struggling in _ - breathtaking. people are struggling in scotland, i - breathtaking. people arej struggling in scotland, and - breathtaking. people are l struggling in scotland, and if - breathtaking. people are - struggling in scotland, and if we know that our team can reflect what's best about being scottish and when, it will give a massive lift. wales play ireland on sunday. new world, familiarfaces. alun wyn, can you see me ok?

and the national league side wrexham have had their takeover by hollywood actors ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney approved by the financial conduct authority. the pair were revealed to be the mystery businessmen looking to invest two £2 million into the club in september last year. the supporters trust, who are the current owners, confirmed yesterday that the takeover had been given the green light. it is the stuff of fairytales and blockbusters — in fact they may well make a film out of it. they've taken this club right from the bottom... i thought that was part of the deal, for netflix or whatever. they were attracted by the oldest international football ground in the world, one of the oldest clubs in professional football, and also the association with coal mining, because rob mcelhaney�*s grandfather was a coal miner. lots of reasons. so it wasn't completely random. well, it did seem at the time, didn't it? thanks, mike. it's saturday, so you might expect many teenagers would be taking the opportunity to relax this morning. they seem to do that every morning in my house, but anyway... that's not the case at one school in derby, though, where more than 100 pupils are voluntarily attending lessons to catch up with months of education they've missed during lockdowns. sian lloyd has been talking to some of them. good morning. my name is christian. i am in year 11. i good morning. my name is christian. i am in year11. i come good morning. my name is christian. i am in year 11. i come to saturday school because i want to improve my maths and english to be a construction worker. iii. maths and english to be a construction worker. , ., , construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa. construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa- i— construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa- i am _ construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa. i am year _ construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa. i am year11. _ construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa. iam year“. i— construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa. i am year“. i come i construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa. i am year 11. i come to i vanessa. ! am year 11. i come to school_ vanessa. i am year 11. i come to school on — vanessa. i am year 11. i come to school on saturday to catch up with my english — school on saturday to catch up with my english lessons.— school on saturday to catch up with my english lessons. empty benches and deserted _ my english lessons. empty benches and deserted classrooms _ my english lessons. empty benches and deserted classrooms - - my english lessons. empty benches and deserted classrooms - the i my english lessons. empty benches and deserted classrooms - the new| and deserted classrooms — the new familiar in these times. at this school in derby, they are opening up during lockdown. on saturdays, small numbers are invited into school to catch up on lessons missed last year. catch up on lessons missed last ear. ~ ., i: catch up on lessons missed last ear. ~ ., z: ., z: « catch up on lessons missed last ear. ~ ., z: ., ::« ., ., catch up on lessons missed last ear. ::.,::«.,., year. around 40 to 50% of our pupils don't have access to _ year. around 40 to 50% of our pupils don't have access to a _ year. around 40 to 50% of our pupils don't have access to a device - year. around 40 to 50% of our pupils don't have access to a device or- don't have access to a device or internet or the opportunity to do home learning in a virtual way, and we were using paper lessons to send home to the pupils. we felt that actually a teacher is very important and a teacher is the driver and catalyst. we've managed to mobilise at this time around 200 plus computers through the government's initiative and around 150 ourselves, but it's still not enough. therefore we needed to find a way and a means to engage those pupils so they were not being left behind. irate to engage those pupils so they were not being left behind.— not being left behind. we are lookini not being left behind. we are looking at — not being left behind. we are looking at microscopy. i i not being left behind. we are looking at microscopy. i will. looking at microscopy. i will require _ looking at microscopy. i will require participation.- looking at microscopy. i will require participation. with only three pupils — require participation. with only three pupils allowed _ require participation. with only three pupils allowed in - require participation. with only three pupils allowed in the i three pupils allowed in the classroom to be covid, scores more joined in from home. classroom to be covid, scores more joined infrom home. up classroom to be covid, scores more joined in from home. up to 120 teenagers have signed up to catch up during exam critical years. that can cause disease. _ during exam critical years. that can cause disease, three _ during exam critical years. that can cause disease, three out _ during exam critical years. that can cause disease, three out of - during exam critical years. that can cause disease, three out of three. i cause disease, three out of three. and it's _ cause disease, three out of three. and it's not — cause disease, three out of three. and it's notjust science. in this lesson pupils are being coached in writing skills. for these young people, it's an opportunity not to be missed. i people, it's an opportunity not to be missed-— people, it's an opportunity not to be missed. ., , ., , be missed. i need to get my grades and to catch — be missed. i need to get my grades and to catch up _ be missed. i need to get my grades and to catch up with _ be missed. i need to get my grades and to catch up with my _ be missed. i need to get my grades and to catch up with my english i be missed. i need to get my gradesj and to catch up with my english and maths also. i was missing lots of lessons. �* .

feel a bit more relaxed? new line macro there's a bunch of things you can do, of course, because the sky is still there. activities to occupy the family are always in demand, especially during lockdown, so stargazing might be just the thing to make the most of the long winter nights. was that your stargazing position? the thing is, you want to put the blanket down, lie down and looked out at the sky. in these conditions, it's perhaps not quite so pleasant. but you can record your findings as part of the annual star count project, which launches today. it's encouraging people across the uk to count the stars wherever they live, to see what effect light pollution is having on our views of the galaxy. fiona lamdin reports. we are all being asked to look up to the skies and count the

everyone's results will show the effect light is having on our views of the galaxy. clearly from where we are we can't look directly out, but we can use the camera outside the building here in salford, and then look at this magic here — from here we can control the camera up... we can control the camera up... we can control the camera up...! look at that. what can we see, rachel? we can see blackness, the never—ending blackness of our lives at the moment. but you get the idea. cast your eyes upwards, susan. that's your kind of thing, isn't it? the good news is that in the week ahead there will be clear sky but you will need to fondle up because it will turn increasingly bitter. here is a clue about our major weather worry for this weekend, for all of us it will turn colder. frost free at the moment across the southern half of the uk and it has already been cold in scotland but that threat of heavy and disruptive snow will shift further south through the weekend. still an amber warning across scotland until lunchtime today and there is more smile to that make snow to pile up. all the while this easterly wind drags in much colder air across the uk from scandinavia, dragging itself as the day pans out and you can see what is happening here. the loo which is rain for coastal scotland turns to snow by the afternoon. an easterly wind will make it feel raw. sunshine further west brings up showers from wells in the south—west and overnight we see some rain pushing westwards in the cold air is chasing as well and look what happens to this weather front that sits across the south—east of england by the end of the night. pretty much a frost for all of us, first thing sunday towards the west there could be patches of fog in place but not as much as we have across parts of the midline that make midlands for the moment because the wind will strengthen does it strengthens it will drag cold air. this weather system to the south was named by the dutch, this is darcy in the heart of it is pulling away from us but it leaves a trailing weather front and legacy of heavy snow for some eastern counties of england. behind me is where the met office is most concerned about the risk of disruption. looking at sunday, this no risk pushes for west and with the easterly wind, above gale force, we are talking about blizzards so some rough conditions and easterly wind streaming showers quite a way across northern england and scotland. wales and the south—west of england, northern ireland it will feel cold and you may wonder what on earth they are talking about in terms of snow because you should see blue skies and sunshine. into monday and still we sit in the cold air, still we have the easterly wind and still we have the easterly wind and still we have the easterly wind and still we have a risk of significant snow for eastern coastal counties of the uk. it will be a tricky and wintry weekend ahead. time now to take a look at this week's click. welcome to click. hope you are doing ok. you probably don't want to hear this, but we are now almost coming up on a year of video calls, zoom meetings and teams chats. in that respect, at least, i think the world has adapted quite well. unsurprisingly, a lot of innovators have leapt at the chance to invent a whole range of video call accessories. and my good friend lara lewington is wearing one now. can you spot it? what could possibly be? these are the periphery smart earrings. not only do they help you get your top half dressed up for a video call, but they also provide sound directly into your ear from behind the earring, and there is a microphone just here as well. it means you can make phone calls or video calls and communicate through these. i'm no expert — i would say they are a little on the big side, but they do match your frock. almost, and they come in different designs. but, as you say, they are chunky and could do with being made smaller. the idea is not bad. and talking about not—bad ideas, how about this? what's that? this went viral a month or two ago. it turns out one of the most awkward parts of a video meeting is trying to leave it. i don't know if you have been there, but everybody waves, and with their other hand they hit the leave meeting button, then it turns out that you haven't left the meeting, then it turns out that and then you need to click to confirm that you want to leave. this inspired one creative technologist to create the zoomout. to leave a meeting, i pull this... he's gone. you know when you're talking to somebody and you say goodbye in person, and then you end up walking in the same direction? i hate that. exactly. it's like that, but every hour, when you're doing calls all day. you are trying to leave and you say goodbye, and you're fumbling for the leave button. this is brian moore, who created the zoomout. of course we had to make our own. so stephen beckett downloaded the plans that brian put on github, got handy with the printer, and here is the result. here you go. a pull cord connected to a bluetooth—enabled circuit board that sends a message to your computer to end the call. simple and effective. it's a race. one, two, three, go. you don'tjust have to make these things for yourself, you can share them with the world on the internet so you can go viral with these things. i feel really good comedians they make a joke about something that everybody thinks isjust something that they experience, but then they love it, because, well, everybody experiences it. the same thing goes with this. i didn't think that many people would — this is certainly something that i experience. it turns out that millions of people who watched this felt the same way. i never know — i'll make something and put it out in the world, and one person will see it, and then sometimes, i will make it and put it on the web, see what happens, and suddenly it blows up and i'm like "wow, i can't believe it." itjust struck a chord — no pun intended. what are some of the other crazy things that you have built? i have built a scooter that is powered by screaming. it's powered by anger. it was for angry birds. it's a scooter with a microphone on it. it didn't work unless you screamed. the louder you screamed, the faster it went. something i am working on that i have not mentioned is this polaroid. when you take a photo of somebody, it actually prints out a reverse image recognition photo of them off the internet, which is terrifying. it's a really scary thing. i tried taking a photo of my wife and i printed out a photo i had taken of her seven years ago, because it was on the internet somewhere. brian, can you keep these dumb projects coming, please? i can try. with covid—i9, all i'm doing is sitting at home and making these things. i've been working from home now for almost a year, and i've done a lot of slouching. and i started getting worried i might be doing myself some harm. i've also been bombarded with instagram ads for this gadget that makes you sit up straight, so i thought i'd give it a go. this is the upright go 2, and you wear it at the top of your back. it comes with sticky pads so that you can stick it to your skin, or you can wear it on a neckband. i prefer the glue. once it's in place, you tap the button twice to calibrate. then, if you lean forward, it will vibrate, reminding you to sit up straight. that's all there is to it. the application records how long you've been slouching and how long you have been upright, after a while i got used to it and i completely forgot i was wearing it. at least once i showered with it on. thankfully, it still works. after using it a few times, those stints where i was wearing it, i was managing to get 80—90% of the time upright. i'm lucky i have never had serious neck or back pain, but i wonder if there are health benefits to this. the company makes no health claims on its ads on instagram, but it does make health related comments on its website. so, i spoke to ashleyjames from the uk's charter society of physiotherapy to ask if there is anything wrong with slouching. absolutely not. there is nothing wrong with slouching in moderation, just as the same there is nothing wrong with sitting up perfectly straight. what we know is there is no right or wrong position to sit in. there are only positions that are held for too long. i've seen those posts on social media that say if you use your phone too much or you sit badly in a chair, you are permanently changing the shape of your necks and spine. is that true? yeah, no, there is no good evidence that sitting in any one position will permanently change the position of your spine. the key thing is movement and not to be sat in any one position for too long. the company's research shows that people do sit up more when they use it. no surprise there, because it buzzes every time you slouched. one thing i notice is it doesn't if you lean backwards. position like this are not ok, but you can sit really badly back in a chair and it will never vibrate. from my point of view i have enjoyed wearing this, i see in the shops with the mirrors, i see myself hunched over. but now, when the pandemic is over and i get to go to a posh event, i might wear this to remind myself to sit up straight and keep my shoulders back. meet marguerite, who lives in surrey. i have six grown—up children and 18 grandchildren and 15 great—grandchildren. some of them live far away. others are working all day and they cannot always come and visit me. but life can be isolating, especially in these days of lockdown or restrictions. so one of marguerite's daughters went looking for a professional companion for harris. now, meet sue, a freelance script writer who lives close to marguerite. it was marguerite's name that kind of caught my attention. i asked her about her name and she started telling me her history and mentioned that she had once upon a time been a professional ballroom dancer. yeah, i was very interested in her life _ and she was interested in what i was saying to her. the application was originally launched to provide face—to—face short spells of company from vetted companions for an agreed fee. it may have been the start of a beautiful friendship, though. during lockdown times, many like sue and marguerite have chosen to switch to the app online meeting space. one of my hobbies is writing. so hearing stories is fascinating for me. i love it. sometimes you can open up to people and not tell your family certain things, which i think is very enlightening. companions is not the only platform that can help you meet people for a bit of conversation at the moment. quarantine chat launched last year and the idea is that it randomly puts two people together from anywhere in the world for a i—to—i phone chat. we are about to connect to someone else, somewhere in the world? hello? hi. how's it going? i am doing pretty well. there was a big film festival two weeks ago, and a lot of my friends went... i'm out the restaurant, | we are at 25% capacity. i'm craving wide space at the moment, so big mountains, and so on... i found somebody was at the party who had just tested positive... putting it to the test, a few of the calls i signed up for did not happen, but i did manage to make a friend injapan. what has been the greatest high for you? mostlyjust reading books. and i'm interested in people. the app matches you with someone who speaks the same language and is awake at the same time. operating via another app called dial up, no personal information is shared and calls are made using data. it has 10,000 users globally, and although they are not pre—vetted, there is a feedback system to report anything untoward. how interesting. something new for every one to try. looks like we have all tried something new this week. that is it from us for now. and as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter on @bbcclick. see you soon! bye— bye! bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today: everyone over 50 should have been offered a coronavirus vaccine by may but scientists warn against easing lockdown too soon. one man has died and ten people have been wounded in a string of stabbings in croydon in south london. small businesses are given more time to repay government loans taken out to help survive the coronavirus lockdown. great rivalries are resuming and the six nations are back with england defending their title against scotland today after italy take on france. this weekend will see the weather turning colder right the way a across the uk, with heavy snow and even blizzards. not for all. stay tuned — i will have the details for you coming up. it's saturday the sixth of february. our top story: scientists are warning against easing lockdown measures too quickly, despite the progression of the coronavirus vaccination programme. the government says all adults over the age of 50 should be offered a jab by may, and with infection rates falling, the prime minister is under pressure to set out a road map for lifting restrictions. rhaya barton has more. nearly 11 million people have been given theirfirstjab. the government is increasingly confident it will hit its target of offering vaccines to the over 70s, all frontline health workers and the clinically extremely vulnerable by the middle of next month, so now it's looking further ahead. my goal is i want us to be able to offer a vaccine to all over 50s, priority groups one to nine, by may. there's a lot of things we've got to get right in order to hit that goal, and obviously supply is the most difficult of all of those. but we are currently on track for that. just over 10,971,000 people have now received their first dose of a vaccine. 19,114 new cases of coronavirus were reported in the latest 24—hour period, with a further 101a deaths within 28 days of a positive test. the prime minister says, as the vaccination programme intensifies, he'll set out the roadmap later this month for easing lockdown restrictions. but he has worn these are early days, and infection rates are still very high. scientists too are urging caution. i totally understand we want to try and get back to normal, but the real danger is, if we relax too rapidly, we will have a resurgence and end up going into another lockdown, of this very carefully so we don't lose the gains we get from vaccination by allowing people to mix will more rapidly and spread the virus more. in a further boost for the vaccination programme, the uk's drug regulator says any side effects are mostly mild. my wife has had hers already, and she had a 24—hour soreness, but that's all, and she is perfectly ok. i'm not concerned, no. it doesn't hurt, and i feel so secure now. the government says it wants to vaccinate 32 million people by may, but it's more reluctant to say when it thinks life will be back to some sort of normality. one man has died and ten others have been injured after a series of stabbings in south london overnight. police are currently investigating whether the incidents are linked. simonjones is in croydon for us this morning. simon, what more do we know? are there any more details emerging about what happened? about what happened ? the about what happened? the police were called to this block of flats just after eight o'clock yesterday evening following reports that two men had been stabbed here. one of those men was taken to hospital, but the second man died here at the scene despite the efforts of the emergency services. but this was one of 5 cents police were called to in the space of a little over a couple of hours. let's just talk you through exactly what happened — nat fyfe scenes. the first was at 6:56pm in chapman road where one man had been stabbed, and at 7:15pm police arrived at the hospital in south london — four men had been taken there with stab wounds. at 8:08pm there was the incident that led to the fatality, and at 8:51pm two men arrived at a hospital with stab wounds, and at dingwall road another man was found with stab wounds. the police have made two arrests but they say at this stage there is nothing concrete to link these attacks for certain. but that's certainly going to be part of their investigation in the coming hours. officers are describing the series of attacks is apparent, saying it smile definite it is mindless violence. they have added powers, section 60, which allows them to carry out additional stop—and—search checks, and also they put more officers onto the streets to act as reassurance for the people here but also to try to deter further violence. businesses that received bounce—back loans from the government during the pandemic are to be given more time to repay them. they'll now have up to ten years, rather than six, to pay back the money. our business correspondent katie prescott has more for us on this. morning, katie. just remind us how these loans operate at the moment and the changes that we are hearing about today. this is just one of many schemes set “p this is just one of many schemes set up to help businesses during the pandemic when the lockdowns happened and they were really struggling. they allowed small businesses to access his loans of up to £50,000 guaranteed by the government. there was massive take—up — 1.4 million businesses took up £1i5 billion worth of loans. but there has been concern about business's ability to pay that back, and i think that's why the chancellor made this change today, because really the pandemic and economic consequences have gone on far longer than we expected. there was a report by the national audit of this recently which said that only two—thirds of these loans might be paid but because of fraud but also because of companies struggling. that's exactly what the chancellor is trying to do, give businesses a bit more breathing space and time to give this cashback. as the budget comes up in march, i think we're going to see many more changes similar schemes. president biden has said he doesn't think donald trump should have access to intelligence briefings — a courtesy usually offered to former presidents. mr biden told cbs news mr trump should be excluded for his erratic behaviour. should former president trump still receive intelligence briefings? i think not. why not? because of his erratic behaviour unrelated to the insurrection. you've called him an existential threat, dangerous and reckless. i have, and i believe it. what's your worst fear? what value does it have to give him intelligence briefings? what impact does it have, other than that he might slip and say something? police investigating two fatal attacks in kilmarnock say they are not looking for anyone else after a ao—year old man died in a road crash south of the town on thursday night. our scotland reporter alexandra mackenzie is in kilmarnock for us. alexandra, a town still in shock, no doubt. such a desperately sad story, this. yes, very much so. we spoke to people in the town of kilmarnock yesterday. they were obviously very shocked by what happened and also saddened by what happened. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, expressed her sadness and condolences to those involved, and also borisjohnson expressed his condolences. the prime minister think the emergency services and the medical staff at the hospital behind me. police are at the early stages of their investigation. as you said, they believe the three incidents to be linked. they are not looking for anyone else — they say that there is no danger to the wider community here. now, the first incident happened at around 7:45pm on thursday night. 39—year—old emma robertson copeland was found here at the hospital suffering from very serious injuries from which she died, and then her daughter was brought here a short time later — that was 24—year—old nicole anderson. she was suffering serious stab injuries, and she died later in hospital. thank you very much. damejulie andrews has led the tributes being paid to the actor christopher plummer, who's died at the age of 91. the pair worked together on the oscar—winning film the sound of music, with plummer playing the role of captain von trapp. it was one of many roles he performed in a career spanning six decades. our arts editor will gompertz reports. # these are a few of my favourite things. christopher plummer in 1965, as the fine, upstanding captain von trapp. did i not tell you that time was to be strictly observed? the versatile, charismatic actor said that he only did the movie and wasn't pleased when he found his voice would be overdubbed. # edelweiss, edelweiss... # every morning you greet me. it is the role for which he will always be remembered but for a long time wished people would forget, making his disdain for the film clear by renaming it the sound of mucus. yes, i did say that, but we alljoked about it. we had to — you all do when you do something sentimental and coy. you have to joke about it and see the funny side of it. christopher plummer was born into a wealthy canadian family. his great—grandfather was the country's third prime minister. he considered becoming a concert pianist but chose acting instead, making his name first on stage, playing lead roles such as shakespeare's henry v, for which he gained comparisons to laurence olivier. and upon this charge cry, "god for harry, england and st george!" he brought weight and humanity to the role of rudyard kipling in the man who would be king. a character actor of rare skill, he reached new heights in his 80s when he became the oldest actor to win an oscar as hal, an elderly widower who came out as gay to his unsuspecting son. he became the oldest oscar actor nominee when he replaced kevin spacey asjohn paul getty in all the money in the world. the greatest price in life is coming to grips with what that price is. christopher comes with this inordinate charm, smile and twinkle. the twinkle and smile make him that much more effective and quite lethal, but in a charming way. julie andrews said of christopher plummer — "the world has lost a consummate actor and i have lost a cherished friend." you know that he would want to be remembered for that incredible history of filmmaking that he was involved in, but it all comes back to the sound of music, and there's nothing that's not perfect about that filled — it is the most wonderful piece of cinema. top three of mine. watching that, going through the films, some of them i didn't know about he has been involved in, right up about he has been involved in, right up until he was quite elderly as well. he had an amazing career resurgence in the last decade of his life, which was fabulous to watch. the queen is celebrating a big milestone today — she is entering her 70th year on the throne. the monach would normally mark the annual occasion in sandringham, but the pandemic means for the first time in 31 years, she'll be at windsor castle for the anniversary. the queen, who is the nation's longest reigning monarch, isjust one year away from her platinum jubilee. with the prime minister set to unveil his roadmap out of lockdown at the end of the month, the former health secretary has urged extreme caution over easing the current measures. jeremy hunt has warned against lifting restrictions until the infection rate reaches 1000 a day. in the latest 24—hour period, more than 19,000 people have tested positive. hejoins us now. you are not alone, of course, in thinking we should be very cautious about using lockdown. this is what all the scientists are saying as well. i'm curious about the 1000 cases a day because you could pick any number. why that one? i’m cases a day because you could pick any number. why that one? i'm not sa inc any number. why that one? i'm not sa in: we any number. why that one? i'm not saying we need _ any number. why that one? i'm not saying we need to get _ any number. why that one? i'm not saying we need to get it _ any number. why that one? i'm not saying we need to get it down - saying we need to get it down to 1000, but the point i'm making is we have a new issue that we have to tackle if we are going to avoid having to go into a cycle of lockdowns, which is this issue of the new strains and mutations. this is not theoretical — what we saw at the beginning of the year was the new kent variant ravaging the country and with much higher transmission rates than the earlier variants. the worry that we have to really plan for is the possibility that we'll have a new mutation — that we'll have a new mutation — that it that we'll have a new mutation — thatitis that we'll have a new mutation — that it is actually a means of the vaccines we are giving out at the moment. in order to ensure we don't get caught out by that again, we need to get transmission levels down to the kind of levels where we can do incredibly thorough contact tracing, like they do in korea and taiwan — several hundred people sometimes from just one case doing the genomic editing of every single case that we get so that we can understand what it is. when you can get to that level of thoroughness, you know you won't have to go back to another lockdown if you've got one of these horrible new variants. i suppose the reason that figure has come up is because in south korea they've managed to suppress it to around that number, maybe slightly above over the course of this pandemic. that's the sort of figure that you are looking at. would that be appropriate to this country as well? i be appropriate to this country as well? ~ ., ., ., , well? i think we are going to be different to _ well? i think we are going to be different to korea. _ well? i think we are going to be different to korea. all - well? i think we are going to be different to korea. all sorts - well? i think we are going to be different to korea. all sorts of l different to korea. all sorts of things are different here. but they haven't had any more than nine deaths on only one day, despite getting the virus earlier than us and being closer to china, and they managed to keep infection levels down to less than 1200 day. currently at around 400 a day. they had, i think, currently at around 400 a day. they had, ithink, one currently at around 400 a day. they had, i think, one incident in a nightclub where they traced several hundred people — i think 800 people — from just one case in seoul. that kind of thoroughness has meant they haven't had to have a national lockdown at all over the last year, they've been able to keep the economy going. no—one wants to get out of this more quickly than i do, but i think what we need to do is to think about what it is we put in place once we come out of this lockdown that means that we never have to go back, and that's why i'm saying we just need to be cautious about it. i’d saying we 'ust need to be cautious about it. �* ,, ._ saying we 'ust need to be cautious about it. �* , about it. i'd say there may be --eole about it. i'd say there may be people who — about it. i'd say there may be people who want _ about it. i'd say there may be people who want to _ about it. i'd say there may be people who want to come - about it. i'd say there may be l people who want to come down about it. i'd say there may be - people who want to come down of this lockdown more quickly than you, particularly those whose incomes have been affected, but that's the one side, in south korea they've had very good contact tracing programmes, which we haven't had. we were promised a world beating one but that hasn't happened. how significant a failure was that by this government? there have been issues but in fairness it is getting better. you are right to put out the issue of income and how significant that is. one of the biggest issues we need to address going forward is the fact that 20- 40% of the address going forward is the fact that 20— 40% of the people who are asked to isolate by nhs test and trace do not do so and it was confirmed this week to the science and technology select committee that around 20,000 people every day who are being asked to self isolate are not doing so—and—so that is, one of the reasons is that people are worried about losing their income and we do need to look at whether people should have a blanket guarantee that if they are asked to isolate, the government will make up any salary losses. find isolate, the government will make up any salary losses-_ isolate, the government will make up any salary losses-— any salary losses. and this is the auestion any salary losses. and this is the question that _ any salary losses. and this is the question that has _ any salary losses. and this is the question that has been _ any salary losses. and this is the question that has been put - question that has been put repeatedly to your party, the governing party, why can they not introduce a £500 a week self isolation payment? universally, they have been resistant every time. has that been a failure in policy? in fairness, the chancellor has been responsible for the most generous financial support of any country anywhere. if you look overall at the furlough scheme and how well that has worked and how, despite the rises we are seeing in unemployment, how we have kept that down by lower levels than otherwise predict but this is something we need to think about. an extra 20,000 people every day who are not isolating when asked to, they will potentially be spreading the disease. the been asked to isolate because they are close to someone who has tested positive and so this is a public health issue into if we want to make sure we never have to go back into a lockdown then this is something that is really important to sort out. if is really important to sort out. if we do have all over 50s vaccinated ljy we do have all over 50s vaccinated by may, and we don't know which part of me that is, but if we do get to that stage, do you think we could entirely lift lockdown? i that stage, do you think we could entirely lift lockdown?— entirely lift lockdown? i think we will be able _ entirely lift lockdown? i think we will be able to _ entirely lift lockdown? i think we will be able to lift _ entirely lift lockdown? i think we will be able to lift it, _ entirely lift lockdown? i think we will be able to lift it, hopefully . will be able to lift it, hopefully soon after that. but the thing we must have in the back of our minds is that in november and early december we were not thinking about this kent variant that arose and there will be other variants. the vaccine minister said in parliament there are 4000 different mutations around and there may well be one of those, ultimately, that is immune to these vaccines. and that is why we need a plan b that makes sure that having done all this work with his brilliant vaccine programme that is by far the most successful anywhere in europe, it is not then undermined because we suddenly find ourselves subjected to a new mutation immune to all these vaccines. that is why it is a complex situation. indeed. as ou it is a complex situation. indeed. as you say _ it is a complex situation. indeed. as you say we — it is a complex situation. indeed. as you say we have _ it is a complex situation. indeed. as you say we have to _ it is a complex situation. indeed. i as you say we have to acknowledge it is a complex situation. indeed. - as you say we have to acknowledge on one hand the vaccine programme is going well and we are still looking at 30,000 plus people in hospital at the moment with covid—19 and one of the moment with covid—19 and one of the highest death rates in the world and the nhs is on its knees and i have repeatedly spoken to people who work on the frontline of the health service who want of a mass exodus of staff in the months and years to come because people are exhausted and in part that is because the nhs has been stretched to capacity for years under your leadership when you ahead of the department of health. successive years of underfunding, being stripped of any spare capacity was one of the reasons the nhs was so ill—equipped to deal with the pandemic when it came one year ago. i agree that the nhs needs more capacity and i believe that when i was health secretary and that is why i did a couple of things. firstly i increased the number of doctors and nurses and midwives that we train by 25%, one of the biggest ever increases and incidentally i think we need to go further but that was a big change. the second thing was negotiated additional £20 billion a yearin year in the nhs budget and having a ten year plan and i think both of those things have been very important. those things have been very important-— those things have been very imortant. v ., , ., , important. let's not rewrite history here. important. let's not rewrite history here- under— important. let's not rewrite history here. under your _ important. let's not rewrite history here. under your leadership - important. let's not rewrite history here. under your leadership as - here. under your leadership as health secretary the nhs saw historically low funding increases of around 1%, far lower than the ob our recommendations for that particular period. and there just is not been any way for this system to deal with this pandemic. in i am telling you exactly what happened. before the 20 billion pound increase that was in a billion increase they agree with you, rachel. i think the nhs does need to have its funding put on a sustainably long—term basis now the £20 billion increase, by the way we already spent around the average for western european countries are at i think, looking forward we need to continue with the system of a ten year plan because we need to be looking forward and i think that has been important. but the thing i did not manage to do which i tried to do and i think it is the next important step is a ten year plan and a sustained funding increase for the social care sector because that goes hand—in—hand with the nhs and we need to be much better looking after people at home so they do not need to go into hospital at nine o'clock on a friday. if anything comes out of this pandemic, it is that people would support strongly that is looking at the incredible job done notjust by nhs frontline workers but by care workers and people working in care homes, going around house from house and looking up the vulnerable people. let’s house from house

vulnerable people. let's sort that out once and for all. we - vulnerable people. let's sort that out once and for all. we could - vulnerable people. let's sort that. out once and for all. we could spend a long time debating your legacy but i do want to ask another question about a story on the front page of the times this morning concerning government plans to centralise decision—making within the nhs to give it more power to have control over things such as fluoride in water and prevention of obesity and so on. do you think, inferior, that would be a good idea?— so on. do you think, inferior, that would be a good idea? yes. last year was the first — would be a good idea? yes. last year was the first year _ would be a good idea? yes. last year was the first year in _ would be a good idea? yes. last year was the first year in history _ would be a good idea? yes. last year was the first year in history where - was the first year in history where across the world there were more over 65s than under fives. we all have to deal with this big change in our health provision of the growth in older people. and what that means is that you need a lot more joined up is that you need a lot more joined up care. it is notjust going into hospital to have your hip replaced and having that sort it out and then returning home. it is people with a lot of things that need to be sorted out, who are using the health service many times during the course of a year. and the structures need to be improved to make that possible and i think that is what these reforms are intended to do. sol think they could be very positive. we will wait to see the detail on that. jeremy hunt, thank you for your time. 723 now. let's spend a bit of time looking at the weather because there is a lot to talk about, not the least the fact that susan, i notice in keeping with the picture behind you, you have a polo neck on, is that a sign?— that a sign? for all of us this weekend _ that a sign? for all of us this weekend is _ that a sign? for all of us this weekend is going _ that a sign? for all of us this weekend is going to - that a sign? for all of us this weekend is going to turn - weekend is going to turn significantly colder. for the week just gone in scotland they have seen snow and cold air through the weekend and it will make its way south and bring with it the weather conditions that scotland has had as well. and ample warning for snow across much of scotland until lunchtime today and you can see that high in here as we start the clock running on a weather chart for today. look at what happens to the rain further south as the day pans out. that cold air digging its way south from scandinavia and we will see snow across northern england through the afternoon, still looking at rain further south and as for sunshine today that will be in the west. the easterly wind piles the cloudy and it also overnight drags a cold airfurther cloudy and it also overnight drags a cold air further south and tucked into that colder air is a weather front across the south—east of england. a cold night with widespread frost. this weather front sitting across the south—east and it will be a headache for sunday. this is the area highlighted by the met office at the moment for the greatest risk of disruption. a 227 metres of snow for some in this area and gale force winds, we're talking about blizzards and drift in as well. pinning down precisely is tricky because that area could move a little further east through the day on sunday. certainly rough conditions to come here full further north, snow streams up here where the wind remains strong. dry surprised across western counties for sunday, a lot of sunshine but it will feel cold. we would read these figures on the phenomena, add an east wind and you may need a thick jacket. —— read these figures on the thermometer did clinic thermometer. i mentioned that i have locked away my teenagers dressing gowns

please, ask us questions. we will give you the answer you the truth. in an effort to get more people vaccinated, the government has now started to publish ethnicity data and it is hoped that these clinics will end up attracting the most hard to reach hesitant communities. it is really interesting about that reluctance to come forward and something that i know rachel mentioned. at ten past nine, our coronavirus panel, and if you have any of those sort of questions that you would like to have addressed, get in touch because it is an important chance to just put your questions to them. we have been saying as well that introducing some sort of passport vaccine system for going on holiday may also encourage those who are reluctant to get a vaccination. for many people growing up in the early 1980s, hip—hop was a soundtrack to their youth. it may have started in new york, but it quickly caught on in the uk too — specifically in manchester. now the city's first hip—hop archive is about to be created thanks to a national lottery grant. judy hobson reports. it isa it is a story in danger of being lost. but now manchester's role in the development of hip—hop will be recorded for ever. and

there... you must have done breakdancing. street dancing, breakdancing... street dancing, brea kdancing. .. it's street dancing, breakdancing... it's an olympic sport now. yes, i'd love to, i must admit. i wrongly assume somewhere along the line in the mike bushell painting of things you've done, there must have been some breakdancing. not spending quite like that. i may have attempted it in front of my nephews, but that was just a private matter. and let's keep it that way! it starts in winter, but when it finishes, it is among the daffodils, and it's this great traditional sporting event of all these rivalries of the home nations, the six nations, isn't it? good morning. it's 38 years since scotland last won at twickenham, but today they must fancy their chances — no 80,000 strong crowd to intimidate them, and the hosts also have some familiar names missing as they begin the defence of their six nations title in the calcutta cup match. joe wilson reports. sport brings a late winter gift. anyone can enjoy the spectacle. it's all about the people, the crowds — well, it was. this year thejoy depends on the teams. it feels like the first day, mate. one of the things that struck me, particularly in this campaign and given the circumstances, is how much our players love playing rugby. it helps when you win. scotland haven't done that at twickenham since 1983, but their last match here finished 33—33 — breathtaking. people are struggling in scotland, and we know that if our team can reflect what's best about being scottish and win, it will give a massive lift. wales play ireland on sunday. new world, familiar faces. alun wyn, can you see me ok? yeah, you look lovely. likewise. you've got to say that. no—one has seen more than the welsh captain. we find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic. to be able to take the field in an international setting is even more of a privilege. it's special at the best of times but doubly so now. the tournament begins with france and italy before attention turns to twickenham. so much is different, but look, it's the same trophy — it's the same six nations. two of them go back to 1867. scotland versus england is sport's oldest tradition, and they will walk out to 150 years of history and 80,000 empty seats. it's been another brilliant morning forjoe root. the england captain has moved past 150 in the first test against india in chennai. it's the third test match in a row that he's achieved that score, and he looks so comfortable that he could get even more. he's now about 30 runs short of a double century. england have lost ben stokes in the last half an hour. he got himself an entertaining 82 before getting caught — worth having another look at that catch, because the fielder, cheteshwar pujarah, had a bit of a juggle with the ball before finally holding on. england are 395 for 4. after nearly two months rowing solo across the atlantic, 70—year—old frank rothwell is set to make history in the next few hours as the oldest person to complete the atlantic rowing challenge. he's expected to cross the finish line off antigua sometime before midday. as he prepared for his final push this week, i caught up with frank on the phone and his family back home. alone at sea, at the mercy of the vast atlantic ocean, rowing non—stop — apart from when he's eating or sleeping in his tiny hole — for nearly two months on end, right through christmas with his santa hat on. but after 3000 miles, through christmas with his santa hat on. but after3000 miles, frank rothwell, who was 70 years old, is so nearly there in antigua, on the verge of making history as the oldest person to complete this transatlantic race. hi, frank. it's pouring with rain back in the uk. are you bobbing along in sunshine over there? filth. are you bobbing along in sunshine over there?— you've almost done it, this amazing challenge. you've done it so much quicker than anybody expected, probably even you expected. frank had never rode before he started training for this challenge. along the way his had to deal with a broken oar and at times his boat has been bombarded by flying fish, and at times mountainous waves. the sort of birds you find out across the ocean have also been keeping frank company, even if he is unsure of the actual breed of bird that's become his new friend. 0h, oh, he's gone. frank's gone. it was back at the end of november that frank was last able to see the cows over the fence near his house on the millers here near oldham before he flew off to the canaries and started his rowing challenge over the antigua — a first christmas apart from his beloved wife, judith, in their 50 years of marriage. she is getting now very excited to welcome frank home. i’m getting now very excited

waiting quayside, allowed to go as family of an elite athlete, which frank now surely is. 80 miles to go now before he can have that lime and lemonade. he is trying to raise £1 million for alzheimer's research. fascinated by what that sieberg might be. we didn't get any more information on the end, but it sounds unusual. i hope we get a picture — the floppy beak and the giant swallow wings. he's a

what we need to take into account is from probably towards the middle or end of march we are starting to give second vaccines as well, and that does mean of course that the number of new people who can be vaccinated is going to slow down if we get the same supply of vaccines. gps and practices have done an amazing job. they've given about three quarters of the vaccines so far, but of course that has meant that a lot of work will have to go. as younger people come in, it's more possible for them to go to the bigger centres, and i hope that's what's going to happen. ivilli" centres, and i hope

overall supply, whether it is pfizer or astrazeneca. the pfizer supply had dropped over the last three weeks but that's starting to pick up and hopefully the astrazeneca world and hopefully the

had a lot of patients saying, this is marvellous that i can go to a gig. this is not going to be like that. there is great news about the astrazeneca vaccine — preliminary report that's just come out suggesting it may cut your chance of getting it, having it without symptoms, and therefore of passing it on by almost two—thirds. so that's really exciting. we've waited a long time for that. but what we're talking about is, by the middle of february, offering first vaccine to 88% of the people who would die — that's not 88% of the people who would end up in hospital. we've still got 50% more people in hospital than we had at the peak of the first wave, and we're still in the first wave, and we're still in the middle of winter pressures general practice in hospitals. so we've got to do this slowly. i’m we've got to do this slowly. i'm keen to get _ we've got to do this slowly. i'm keen to get one more subject in, and i mount for that, given the scale of the rollout, and how much

we've got to start getting more of those vaccines done, because general practices — it's notjust gps who give the vaccines, it nurses and healthcare assistants and some volunteers coming in to do the behind—the—scenes stuff. but the gps and nurses are not able to do two things. they are already working crazy long hours, so we've got to try, as younger people come in, to get more of them going to the bigger centres which are set up with volunteers and so on so that gps can get back. we can't have people not being referred for cancer — we can't have people not having their long—term health

afternoon. sunshine here for the south—west and for the midlands, the cold air is digging down into northern england by the afternoon and the rain returns to snow for coastal counties of scotland. i think still largely rain through the second part of the day across the midlands and parts of east anglia and the south—eastern towards the west it is clear. playing this out overnight, how about the cold air it digs south and whether front sits to the south—east of the uk and that is push—up from the continent wonders the cold air in front comes together that is our biggest forecast is heading in terms of disrupt snow for sunday. widespread frost and as possible anywhere here is that cold air coming straight from scandinavia across the uk on sunday. this is storm darcy heading off to the continent leaving the weather front trailing behind across east anglia and the south—east. the met office is concerned enough about the risk of disruption to have issued an amber warning already. up to ten centimetres but it could reach 24 some and howling winds for all of us making it feel better, even if you keep sunshine which you should to the west but that is where we have the west but that is where we have the snow, blizzard and drifting is likely and the area could edge a little further west. to the north, snow showers streaming in across northern england and scotland and there is a strong wind. these are there is a strong wind. these are the temperatures you will see on the thermometer but factor in the wind and it is pretty much subzero across the board on sunday. thank you very much. it does look visually cold and more details as well on tomorrow's snow on bbc breakfast. tomorrow night sees the annual super bowl event take place in america and like everything else there

bigger audience than normal. so someone is watching the game for the first time, they might pick up on the fact that they are two quarterbacks at the peak of their powers but they play very different styles. what will you see from brady that you will you see from brady that you will not see from mahomes? iiiiuiith will not see from mahomes? with brad ou will not see from mahomes? with brady you

everyone over 50 and should have been offered a coronavirus vaccine by may — but scientists warn against easing lockdown too soon. one man has died and 10 people have been wounded in a string of stabbings in croydon in south london. small businesses are given more time to repay government loans taken out to help survive the coronavirus lockdown. it's the return of the six nations and with no fans at twickenham, scotland might fancy beating england there, for the first there for the first time in decades. and before that italy host france. this weekend will see the weather turning colder

_ you have no authority, jackie weaver, no authority at all. and how a handforth parish council meeting set the internet alight. we'll hear from the jackie weaverjust before nine. looking forward to that. it“s saturday the 6th of february. our top story. scientists are warning against easing lockdown measures too quickly, despite the progression of the coronavirus vaccination programme. the government says all adults over the age of 50 should be offered a jab by may, and with infection rates falling, the prime minister is under pressure to set out a road map for lifting restrictions. freya barton has more. nearly 11 million people have been given theirfirstjab. the government is increasingly confident it will hit its target of offering vaccines to the over—70s, all front—line health workers and the clinically extremely vulnerable by the middle of this month. so now it's looking further ahead. my goal is that i want us to be able to offer a vaccine to all over—50s — that's priority groups one to nine — by may. there's a lot of things that we've got to get right that's priority groups one to nine — by may. there's a lot of things that we've got to get right in order to hit that goal. and, obviously, supply is the most difficult of all of those. but we're currently on track for that. just over 10,971,000 people have now received their first dose of a vaccine. 19,114 new cases of coronavirus were reported in the latest 24—hour period, with a further 1,014 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. how are you doing? within 28 days of a positive test. the prime minister says as the vaccination programme intensifies, he'll set out a road map later this month for easing lockdown restrictions. but he's warned that these are early days, and infection rates are still very high. scientists, too, urging caution. i totally understand that we want to try to get back to normal. but the real danger is if we relax too rapidly, we'll get a resurgence and we'll end up going into another lockdown. so we really need to ease out of this very carefully, so that we don't lose the gains we get from vaccination by allowing people to mix more rapidly and spreading the virus more. you might get a sore arm for a couple of days. in a further boost for the vaccination programme, the uk“s drug regulator says any side effects are mostly mild. my wife has had hers already and she just had a 24—hour soreness. but that's all. and she's perfectly ok afterwards. so i'm not concerned. it doesn't hurt and i feel so secure now. the government says it wants to vaccinate 32 million people by may. but it's more reluctant to say when it thinks life will be back to some sort of normality. freya barton, bbc news. one man has died and ten others have been injured, after a series of stabbings in south london overnight. police are currently investigating whether the incidents are linked. simonjones is in croydon this morning. because through the sequence of events. the police were called to a block of flats here at 8pm yesterday evening following reports two men had been stabbed. one man was taken to hospital but despite the efforts of paramedics and a second man died here at the scene. it was one a five incidents police were called to in the space of two macro hours yesterday evening. the first incident was at 6:56pm at chapman road with one man found with stabbing injuries. and then at a south london hospital four stabbing injuries. and then at a south london hospitalfour men received treatment for stab wounds. just after hpm the incident here led to a man losing his life. at 8:51pm at a south london hospital, two men arrived. they are being treated for stab wounds. the final incident in dingwall road, a man found with stab injuries. two macro people who were stabbed in a life—threatening condition. and two people have been arrested. the police say at this time there is nothing concrete to definitely link this incident but that will be a major part of the investigation. officers have described the incidents is grim and said violence like this will not be tolerated. extra officers were put on the streets last night to act as a deterrent to for any further violence breaking out. businesses that received bounce—back loans from the government during the pandemic, are to be given more time to repay them. they'll now have up to ten years, rather than six, to pay back the money. our business correspondent katie prescott has more for us on this. give us some of the details. these are the loans given to businesses to get the money quickly and cheaply at a crunch point during the pandemic last may, loans up to £50,000 guaranteed by the government with nothing to pay for 12 months. now we are coming up to may and they are falling due. this change today is a reflection that perhaps businesses will not be able to pay back the money. there is concern from banks and government about that. a recent report by watchdog found two thirds of the loans might not be able to be repaid. some say this is kicking the can down the road but as we come up to the budget in march, we might see more of these changes to government support schemes, really reflecting how hard the economy has been hit and how long the pandemic has been going on. president biden has said he doesn't think donald trump should have access to

across a number of agencies. we will talk to her in a couple of minutes. police investigating two fatal attacks in kilmarnock say they are not looking for anyone else after a 40—year—old man died in a

people in kilmarnock and here at the hospital are shocked i and here at the hospital are shocked and here at the hospital are shocked and saddened by what happened. we know that 39—year—old emma roberts and copeland suffered serious injuries in the car park. she was an nhs worker at the hospital and was treated by her colleagues but died at the scene. a short time later her daughter, 24—year—old nicole anderson, was stabbed two miles from here and brought to the hospital where her mother had worked and died. she was treated for her injuries but also later died. 40—year—old stephen robertson died in a car crash on the outskirts of kilmarnock. all three incidents happened in a timeframe of 45 minutes. the hospital has also paid tribute to the staff working that night. they say they acted with care and compassion in a challenging situation. damejulie andrews has led the tributes being paid to the actor christopher plummer, who's died at the age of 91. the pair worked together on the oscar—winning film the sound of music, with plummer playing the role of captain von trapp. it was one of a number of characters he played in a career spanning six decades, which also saw him win an oscar in 2012 for his role in the film beginners. the queen is celebrating a big milestone today — she is entering her 70th year on the throne. the monarch would normally mark the annual occasion in sandringham, but the pandemic means for the first time in 31 years, she'll be at windsor castle for the anniversary. the queen is the nation's longest—reigning monarch and is just one year away from her platinum jubilee. with covid levels showing signs of falling across the uk, there's growing debate on whether schools can fully reopen sooner than planned. let's take a look at the current targets for when pupils will return. in england, schools will not fully reopen to all pupils until some weeks after the half—term. the prime minister said he hopes to start the process from monday, march 8th. it's a similar picture in northern ireland, where the executive has said pupils will stay at home until march the 8th at the earliest. the youngest students in wales — those aged three to seven — will now return to school from monday, february 22nd, along with some older pupils on vocational courses. and in scotland, the first three years of primary school will reopen to all pupils from february 22nd. let's speak now to the children's commissioner for england, anne longford. good morning. it is worth saying schools are open for key workers and a number of students are attending. but outside of that, when you look at the picture in england, your jurisdiction, what do you think is the timeline that is realistic? i think it is important is the prime minister has said the ambition is to have schools reopened beyond march the 8th and it is important for primary school especially to open because children find it more difficult to learn online when young and for those parents, there are parenting responsibilities that mean they cannot work. generally this is something that will depend on infection levels and pressure on the nhs, but i want it to be the first opportunity possible to get them backin opportunity possible to get them back in school. we realise the impact on children of not being at school educationally and in terms of wellbeing, it is immense. it is one that we had not anticipated in the first instance but now it is clear to see. , , ., , first instance but now it is clear to see. , , .,, to see. the prime minister has said there

prime minister has said there will be a two week notice i there will be a two week notice period whenever schools are fully reopened, there will be a two week notice period. is that enough, given the time they have not been operating at full level? i think school leaders, _ operating at full level? i think school leaders, their - school leaders, their representatives, feel that two weeks is something they can work with. what i have been taken by this time is the unions and councils saying they think it is possible with the right factors in place, which means a good bit of notice period, the planning around building and distancing and having the right testing in place that can give confidence, also the issue of vaccinations for teachers, which would be part of the next stage of vaccinations, but we have yet to hear that is going to be the case, whether they get priority. for all children when not in school, there is a huge impact. for teenagers especially, many of those will face real difficulties were not in school. some also in real danger. organisations including the bbc have been involved in trying to get equipment, laptops, two youngsters who do not have access. it is also access to the internet. what is emerging and is no doubt getting worse is the disparity between those that are may be struggling anyway but have the resources and those who do not have the resources. how great do not have the resources. how great do you think that problem is right now and possibly getting worse by the day? it now and possibly getting worse by the da ? ., , , now and

day? it has been clear to see i the huge gap between those who have and those who do not have. in the early stages we are aware some families were living in big houses with outdoor space and lots of room and lots of tech, and some children living in cramped conditions without that, possibly borrowing their parents“ phone that might not work. it has been an eye—opener. we knew the vulnerabilities were there. i have been talking about them a long time, but it has been clear to see. government has got laptops and tech outs there and that is ongoing. we are hearing 1 million of those with more to come. the estimate is 1.8 million children do not have access online. it has been the issue of data. even if they do, parents might not be able to afford data and there have been welcome interventions from broadband companies. at the heart of this, children get very different experience. those children who started behind, the most disadvantaged, have fallen further behind, we know that now. the pressure now on getting that catch up pressure now on getting that catch up in place, getting children to the point where they can get their confidence back and rebuild really needs to start in earnest, which is why i am pushing not only for a one—year catch up, but something that will go over the next 2—3 years to try to get children not only back to try to get children not only back to where they should have been but also ahead. you to where they should have been but also ahead. ., ., to where they should have been but also ahead-— also ahead. you are talking today about kids

children who are being criminally exploited for financial gain and also subject to violence. it is two years since government said there should be a public health approach to prevent it happening. we have had the pandemic and it is easy to see why it has dropped down the agenda. but sadly for teenagers, whilst there was a small dip at first, it is now back to full operation for gangs, county lines. and the extreme nature, that unspeakable coercion children are faced with, it is something that means it will continue to appear in headlines with very tragic circumstances, unless the protection is in place. we need a renewed commitment to that and focus nationally and locally and help and support for kids to prevent them falling into that situation and prevent them from harm.—

in terms of impact they have on children down the line. home—schooling has presented a big challenge for pupils, so a school in derby has opened its doors on saturdays to help struggling teenagers catch up. sian lloyd reports. good morning. my name is kristian. i'm in year11. i come to saturday school because i want to improve my maths and english to be a construction worker. hi, my name is vanessa. i am in year 11. i come to school on saturday to catch up with my english lesson. empty benches and deserted classrooms. the new familiar in these times. but at the bemrose school in derby, they are opening up during lockdown. on saturdays, small numbers are invited into school to catch up on lessons missed last year. around 40—50% of our pupils do not have access to a device or internet or the opportunity to do home learning in a virtual way and we were using paper lessons to send home to the pupils. we felt that actually a teacher is important and a teacher is the driver and catalyst. we've managed to mobilise at this time around 200 plus computers through the government initiative and around 150 ourselves, but it's still not enough. therefore, we needed to find a way and a means to engage those pupils so they were not being left behind. we are looking at microscopy. i will require participation. with only three pupils allowed in the classroom to be covid—safe, scores morejoin in from home. up to 120 teenagers have signed up to catch up during exam—critical years. a pathogen can cause disease — well done, three out of three. and it's notjust science. in this lesson, pupils are being coached in writing skills. for these young people, it's an opportunity not to be missed. i need to get my grades and to catch up with my english and maths also. i was missing lots of lessons. it's quite different, because there's less people. there is social distancing, washing hands, masks, but it still helps. it's better than being at home. i will be leaving school and i want a job. - i want to be a jeweller, - so i need to get my grades up and learn a bit more. and it's challenging. have you logged in? the school has accessed funding from the government's catch up fund, which aims to help the most vulnerable and those from deprived communities whose education has been affected by the pandemic. it enables them to hire external tutors and to pay school staff for the extra hours they put in. as a teacher, the thing i miss the most is having my students in front of me in a classroom. that's why you teach — you want to have the students, those relationships and see that spark of learning. we are missing that. you can see the students those who have devices and those who do not. we want to make sure that gap does not widen. it is do not. we want to make sure

but to eyeball someone else. do not hug them. definitely. tell us about the weather, there is quite a bit going on. there is a question of where do you want me to start and when do you want me to stop? the big story this weekend is how much colder it will turn. the more critical part power —— part for others is this... scotland has been a target area for snow. there is a met office amber warning for disruptive snow until midday. furthersouth, largely rain as the day gets under way. quite dense fog across central and eastern england. rain will help that clear, replacing it with the grey picture in the afternoon. sunshine, northern ireland, wales, southwest, perhaps north west of england but the critical area is this band of rain which increasingly turns to snow overnight. we will see snow coming into northern england into the small hours and by the end of the night we are left with the weather front wrapped around a system from the continent in the cold air, grinding to a halt in the south—east of england. ice in the morning on sunday. a lot of surface water around from the rain, but this front is sunday's headache. it is storm darcy but the trailing weather front has caused the met office to put an amber warning has caused the met office to put an amberwarning in has caused the met office to put an amber warning in place. particularly in parts where the snow is set to pile up. i think it might drift as well on sunday, because the winds will gust up to gale force, so blizzard conditions. toing and froing between the models on the exact position of where the snow reaches. it could be as far west as oxfordshire, hampshire on sunday, but certainly significant accumulations in the south—east. further west, sunshine, but feeling cold. snow showers across northern england and scotland. isobars do not change for on monday. showers will be flooding in. and we will be in that very cold air. perhaps the snow not as extensive across the south—east but some working further across scotland. after a frosty start, a beautiful looking day i suspect, with lots of sunshine, but feeling cold. step outside in that wind, and this is what it will feel like. cold prospects and tricky weather for some. properly cold. the mayors of manchester and liverpool have come together ahead of this weekend's premier league matches to condemn the racism suffered by prominent footballers in recent weeks. players, including marcus rashford, who described the abuse as "humanity and social media at its worst" — have been targeted online. both andy burnham and steve rotheram say there is no room for racism, hate and discrimination in football. they join us now. good morning. iam good morning. i am conscious it is four white people talking about racism in sport

people out there, they still want to put those messages out and may be think, still, they will get away with it. it is as simple as that. it still, they will get away with it. it is as simple as

shout a racist comment at a match. in football grounds we took away space from the racist and there was an ability to tackle them if they did that. sadly, social media has given them their space back. it is not good enough for them to have a cloak of anonymity to fire abuse at people like marcus rashford. stevie is right, we need the social media industry to step up. i do not think they should allow people to have accounts without identification. people have to be accountable. i am an everton supporter. i can remember the manchester city goalkeeper alex williams getting racist abuse at goodison park and it was the first time i had seen racism in my life. we used to challenge it in that era. one—to—one. people have challenged it. when the public challenge it, they should get a firm response from football, from the authorities, but also social media companies. i think they are weak on this issue and need to improve. people should have details attached to their account and action

forjoe root. in the last few minutes he's just passed 200 in the first test, against india. he did it in style too, whacking ravi ashwin for 6. the england captain now has the record for the highest score for a player in their 100th test. his innings has england in a dominant position in chennai. they're just about to take lunch, and england are 441 for 4. next to one of the great sporting events of any year, the start of the 6 nations rugby while the women's tournament has been pushed back to april, the men's kicks off as it usually does on the first weekend of february but one massive difference, no fans will be present in either rome or twickenham today for the opening two matches. but there's still plenty to look forward to, and so let's speak to former england internationaljeremy guscott, and commentator sonia mclaughlin, both part of bbc sport's coverage. morning, if i can come to you firstjeremy, and scotland have been improving over the last year or so and without the usual noise at twickenham, it could feel like a neutral venue. this could be their chance for a first win there, since 1983? they've always got a chance. but i think they will be up against it at twickenham. it's still away from home, they've had to do... the pressure is on them because they haven't won there since 1983. you look at them in the team's most recent form, and

centenary. years ago this year, the... ladies, if you haven't heard of them, look them up. they played in front of 50,000 spectators and goodison park in 1921. such was the popularity of the women's game that the football association at the time thought, we don't want that, and the band them from playing at any of their grounds for 50 years. in one of the staff was lilli palmer and we will be looking at her life and career and what that meant for her. so will be looking at that later. we got alex scott on the programme, we got ashley williams, and we're tribute to jacki weaver. she coming

jackie weaver takes over every meeting at the moment, - every meeting at the moment, including the football focus planning meeting. we are going to be talking to jackie weaver very shortly. in fact, let's do it now, shall we? let's not hold back. it's fair to say that 48 hours ago many people in the cheshire village of handforth were blissfully unaware of the inner workings of their parish council. but now they — and many millions more across the world — are more than aware of what goes on, after their chaotic virtual meeting went viral. we're speaking to the now infamous jackie weaver next — and here's why she's been trending on twitter. this meeting has not been called according to the law. it has been properly... will you please let the chairman finish? mrs weaver, please! if you disrupt this meeting, i will have to remove you from it. you can't. you have no authority here, jackie weaver. no authority at all. she's kicked him out. don't. she's kicked him out! don't. you may now elect a chairman. no, they can't, because the vice chair's here. i i take charge. read the standing orders. read them and understand them! gasps. could i ask you to be respectful to jackie weaver, please? laughter. shall we elect an alternative chairman? oh, hi. yeah, i'm just in a meeting at the moment. can i give you a call back when it finishes? 0k. all right, bye. thank you, roger, yes, we will be... i'm afraid there's no way of stopping him calling himself clerk. please refer to me as britney spears from now on. laughter. someone in the burkhill household sat there like a laughing hyena. he's glad it's a zoom meeting. laughter. the joy that those clips are brought. it'sjust the joy that those clips are brought. it's just utterly brilliant. and we are delighted to say... and, we're delighted to say, the jackie weaverjoins us now, via zoom no less. ican i can see that even though you must�*ve heard it many times, you are still laughing along to those clips. i think that the benefit for me is that i'm now kind of watching it like you're watching it rather than being involved in it and i guess that i have a different reaction to it because i'm seeing it from the outside. two points, first of all, i wouldn't want to disappoint the world by them thinking that if they tuned in to most parish council meetings that that is what they would experience. i've done this for 25 years and i've never seen anything like it. so in 25 years time, you might see it come round again. most parish council meetings are much less exciting.— are much less exciting. jackie, 'ust the

meeting _ authority here, jacki weaver. this is a meeting called by two councils. they sing. there is nothing that sea shanty won't touch at the moment. i can see that there is jackie weaver a

touch such a diverse audience. please can i ask people to have a look at the national campaign, the make a change campaign, the make a change campaign, where we are trying to get younger, more diverse people involved in parish councils and if this does something for that, that would be fabulous. on a personal note, this has to be between us, i am so chuffed that i have been invited to meet anotn du

that when you're in a small parish council, sometimes, you are in a small microcosm of the world. sometimes you don't have context. in the way people reacted to this, i hope gives the three councillors some pause and makes them at least question whether not they have done the right thing here. i mean, nobody is looking for an apology. what we're looking at is there somewhere we can find some common ground where all six councils can start to work for the benefit of the parish council, which is what we are therefore. that noise, sorry, that was just an e—mail. are therefore. that

involved here and how it got to this very, you know, difficult point and it's style and ask what's going on behind the scenes. that story gave me the shudders! and you're right, it is going to get really cold through the course of the next few days across the uk. todayis the next few days across the uk. today is the date when we will start to see things changing as the cold air begins to work its way south. scotland has taken a hit in terms of snowfall in recent days, but later on in the weekend, that risk will move further south. for some, on in the weekend, that risk will move furthersouth. forsome, it will be the case of feeling cold but a lot of sunshine around. for scotland, still a met office amber warning in force for the risk of some disruption across the highlands and grampian is until midday today. as you can see, a large share of the map, lot of fine weather to be found this saturday. showers towards the west will tend to clear, some of the fog that we started the day with the left and western areas will enjoy some sunshine. temperatures towards the west are still 607 degrees for belfast and plymouth. it's in the east that the biggest change is beginning to occur. for scotland, the area of snow becomes more confined to coastal counties, but it will be snow for coastal counties, not rain, and then we see that rain across the night replaces snow. cold air south... widespread frost first thing on sunday at the risk of ice. this front swilling around in the south—east is the biggest headache, potentially for disruptive snow on sunday. we are all into that cold air from sunday. we are all into that cold airfrom scandinavia. to the sunday. we are all into that cold air from scandinavia. to the south, we have a frontal system pushing up and this is darcy and it's as it's the cold air we need to keep a close eye on east anglia. the met office has the amber warning out there already. if you not already, where a polo neck, that's the advice isn't it? singer and entertainerjon courtenay says his victory in last year's britain's got talent final was the proudest moment of his life. but what viewers did not realise at the time was thatjon had been diagnosed with skin cancerjust weeks before. he has now opened up about his illness and is campaigning to raise awareness about checking your moles. let's take a look. # every mole could be potentially an invitation to the big c, # so get them checked periodically, it could make a difference, # take it from me. # maybe it's big when it used to be small, # maybe its colour has changed from before. # maybe it's not any different at all. # they'll cut out the mole with a small anaesthetic, there's # not any pain so don't be pathetic. # you only live once, don't let cancer wreck it # if you've got a lump or a # mole go and check it. and we can speak tojon now, who is in manchester this morning. morning. thanks to having it. the obvious question _ morning. thanks to

dressing on it, i keep banging it. but i'm ok. it worked out all right. just trying to do some good off the back of it. takers through a bit of the story. you explained a little bit there but, you found the mould, you were worried about it, you did the right thing by the sounds of it. very quickly and luckily, you've got treatment and you are where you are. takers through that. i treatment and you are where you are. takers through that.— takers through that. i didn't do the riht thin takers through that. i didn't do the right thing quickly _ takers through that. i didn't do the right thing quickly enough. - takers through that. i didn't do the right thing quickly enough. i - takers through that. i didn't do the right thing quickly enough. i was i right thing quickly enough. i was very lucky that we still got it in time. i procrastinated for a long time. i procrastinated for a long time. i procrastinated for a long time. i discovered a new mole that suddenly appeared, it was a weird colour and shape and it suddenly appeared. those are the things that tickle the danger boxes. that was backin tickle the danger boxes. that was back in february. ijust auditioned the britain's got talent injanuary even though it wasn't broadcast until april. even though it wasn't broadcast untilapril. i have even though it wasn't broadcast until april. i have no excuses but i was detracted. i was travelling, i had shows, so i put it off. i knew i should have found my gp, put it off untiljuly. it wasn't until then that i found the gp and said, can you have a look at this, itjust appeared a few months ago and he immediately said, that needs to come off. so, by then it got to 2.8 millimetres which is quite deep for a mole in what turned out to be a melanoma. so, basically, because of covid and everything, cancer is now becoming the forgotten thing and i'm trying to get people to say, if you have got a suspicious moeller along for anything, the gp will still prioritise that. you'll still get seen and looked after. you're doing brilliant work _ seen and looked after. you're doing brilliant work by _ seen and looked after. you're doing brilliant work by raising _ seen and looked after. you're doing brilliant work by raising all- seen and looked after. you're doing brilliant work by raising all of- brilliant work by raising all of this. when i read through the details, ijust felt, what a stressful, but also surreal period in your life. on the one hand, britain's got talent is going on, you're on the stage, doing brilliantly, great feedback from audiences and then with this lingering on in the back of your mind. and your surgery was very shortly after you in the final, wasn't it?— shortly after you in the final, wasn't it? , ., , , wasn't it? yes, it was the beginning of december. _ wasn't it? yes, it was the beginning of december, it _ wasn't it? yes, it was the beginning of december, it got _ wasn't it? yes, it was the beginning of december, it got delayed - wasn't it? yes, it was the beginning of december, it got delayed twice l wasn't it? yes, it was the beginning | of december, it got delayed twice as well because of covid. i caught covid and then obviously the usual isolation period, and then i was at the hospital, i have an extra isolation period to make doubly sure and then a month later, i was still testing positive. so the stress of going through all that, the reason i'm trying to do that is raise awareness for macmillan, because i didn't realise i could phone them and could have spoken about how worried i was an altar of the things that i was going through. i they they were there for people who are going through serious cases and end—of—life care, and that's not the case. i didn't really tell anybody. i didn't want it coming out in the show, i didn't want to be a sob story on the show, and i haven't told my family, uncles and aunts and everything, so i didn't want them to find out through the press. so it was a case of keeping it quiet and if you share this news with a loved one, they are very emotionally involved stop it would be a huge weight off my mind to be able to talk it through with somebody like macmillan who could have, as i say, advised me not to worry about some of the stuff that was keeping me awake at night. it it's people who are waiting for results of operations, it can drive you nuts. your brain goes to really horrible places. i'm not normally that kind of guy and i was worried that i was becoming that sort of guy. so, there are obviously a lot of people out there who are feeling like that and there who are feeling like that and the need to know that they can talk to people. the the need to know that they can talk to eo - le. ., , the need to know that they can talk to --eole. ., ., ,, to people. the way you are talking about it, i know— to people. the way you are talking about it, i know it _ to people. the way you are talking about it, i know it will _ to people. the way

to make a difference. evenif it. trying to make a difference. even if one person gets diagnose in time and gets caught, then it will be worth it. because even without covid, people procrastinate. ithink it might be a male thing as well. thinking, all, iwill leave it might be a male thing as well. thinking, all, i will leave it, it might be a male thing as well. thinking, all, iwill leave it, i'm not going to phone the doctor. and with covid overshadowing everything, it's taken a back—seat, and i'm sure there are a lot of people out there who were so worried and theyjust need to make a phone call and get it checked. it’s need to make a phone call and get it checked. �* , p, , need to make a phone call and get it checked. �* , ., , ., , need to make a phone call and get it checked.

offered a coronavirus vaccine by may — but scientists warn against easing lockdown too soon. one man has died and nine people have been wounded in a string of stabbings in croydon in south london. small businesses are given more time to repay government loans taken out to help survive the coronavirus lockdown. another record—breaking morning forjoe root. he scores a double century against india, as england dominate the first test in chennai. this weekend is going to see the weather turning colder right the way across the uk. and for some, scenes like these will be possible with heavy snow, may be blizzards. stay tuned and i will have all the details. it's saturday, the 6th of february. our top story. scientists are warning against easing lockdown measures too quickly, despite the progression of the coronavirus vaccination programme. the government says all adults over the age of 50 should be offered a jab by may, and with infection rates falling, the prime minister is under pressure to set out a road map for lifting restrictions. rhaya barton has more. nearly 11 million people have been given theirfirstjab. the government is increasingly confident it will hit its target of offering vaccines to the over—70s, all front—line health workers and the clinically extremely vulnerable by the middle of this month. so now it's looking further ahead. my goal is that i want us to be able to offer a vaccine to all over—50s — that's priority groups one to nine — by may. there's a lot of things that we've got to get right in order to hit that goal. and, obviously, supply is the most difficult of all of those. but we're currently on track for that. just over 10,971,000 people have now received their first dose of a vaccine. 19,114 new cases of coronavirus were reported in the latest 24—hour period, with a further 1,014 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. how are you doing? the prime minister says as the vaccination programme intensifies, he'll set out a road map later this month for easing lockdown restrictions. but he's warned that these are early days, and infection rates are still very high. scientists, too, urging caution. scientists, too, are urging caution. i totally understand that we want to try to get back to normal. but the real danger is if we relax too rapidly, we'll get a resurgence and we'll end up going into another lockdown. so we really need to ease out of this very carefully, so that we don't lose the gains we get from vaccination by allowing people to mix more rapidly and spreading the virus more. you might get a sore arm for a couple of days. in a further boost for the vaccination programme, the uk's drug regulator says any side effects are mostly mild. my wife has had hers already and she just had a 24—hour soreness. but that's all. and she's perfectly ok afterwards. so i'm not concerned. it doesn't hurt and i feel so secure now. the government says it wants to vaccinate 32 million people by may. but it's more reluctant to say when it thinks life will be back to some sort of normality. rhaya barton, bbc news. one man has died and nine others have been injured, after a series of stabbings in south london

ofjust police had to deal with in the space of just over police had to deal with in the space ofjust over a couple of hours in this area yesterday evening. let me talk you through what happened. the first incident at 656 pm in chapman road. one man had been stabbed. 20 minutes later at a south london hospital, four men were being treated there for stab wounds. just after 8pm police were called to the incident here that resulted in a man losing his life. at 8:51pm at a south london hospital another two men were treated for stab wounds and at 9:12pm, the final incident in dingle road with a man found with stab wound injuries. two are in hospital with a critical condition and there have been two arrests. police are saying at this stage, they are not able to say definitely whether these events were linked. that will be part of the investigation. they say at the moment they are not moving to that conclusion. police described the violence in these five incidents as abhorrent and overnight they brought in extra powers, a section 60 ordered to carry out extra stop and searches in the area and they introduce more officers to ensure there was no more violence overnight. businesses that received bounce back loans from the government during the pandemic, are to be given more time to repay them. they'll now have up to ten years, rather than six, to pay back the money. our business correspondent katie prescott has more for us on this. what are the details? these were loans that aimed _ what are the details? these were loans that aimed to _ what are the details? these were loans that aimed to get _ what are the details? these were l loans that aimed to get businesses money cheaply and quickly so they could borrow up to £50,000 from a bank guarantee by the government with nothing to pay for 12 months. it started last may. we are coming up it started last may. we are coming up to may so the first of the loans will fold you and the change today are really because government and banks are concerned about the ability of businesses to pay it back. a report by a government watchdog found that two thirds of them might well never be repaid. these changes give businesses what the chancellor says is more breathing space and time to pay the money back. as we come up to the budget in march, we may see more of these changes applied to other schemes, just in recognition of the fact the economic hit has been so severe and has perhaps gone on longer than anyone initially expected. president biden has said he doesn't think donald trump should have access to intelligence briefings — a courtesy usually offered to former presidents. mr biden told cbs news mr trump should be excluded for his erratic behaviour. should former president trump still receive intelligence briefings? i think not. why not? because of his erratic behaviour unrelated to the insurrection. you've called him an existential threat, dangerous and reckless. i have, and i believe it. what's your worst fear? what value does it have to give him intelligence briefings? what impact does it have, other than that he might slip and say something? the children's commissioner for england says councils are failing to prevent vulnerable children in their care being exploited and hurt by gangs. anne longfield says that once children are entangled in "dangerous enterprises" it becomes difficult to intervene and reach them. the local government association defended public health teams, saying tackling the issue requires close working across a number of agencies. police investigating two fatal attacks in kilmarnock say they are not looking for anyone else after a 40—year—old man died in a road crash south of the town on thursday night. our scotland reporter alexandra mackenzie is in kilmarnock for us. bring us up to date. there is a sense of shock and sadness in the town of kilmarnock and here at crosshouse hospital. what we know is 39—year—old emma robertson coupland, who worked for the nhs here at the hospital, she was found in the car park on thursday night with serious injuries and treated by colleagues, but they were unable to save her. a short time later, two miles from here, her daughter, 24—year—old nicole anderson, was stabbed. she was taken to the hospital where her mother had worked and treated for her injuries but later died. a third person, 40—year—old steven robertson, died in a car crash on the outskirts of kilmarnock. all three incidents happened in a short space of time within 45 minutes. the hospital has paid tribute to its staff, saying they worked with care and compassion under very difficult and compassion under very difficult and challenging circumstances. thanks. damejulie andrews has led the tributes being paid to the actor christopher plummer, who's died at the age of 91. the pair worked together on the oscar—winning film the sound of music, with plummer playing the role of captain von trapp. it was one of many roles he performed in a career spanning six decades. our arts editor will gompertz reports. # these are a few of my favourite things _ # when the dog bites #. christopher plummer, in 1965, as the fine, upstanding captain von trapp, playing oppositejulie andrews' maria in the sound of music. hello. fraulein, did i not tell you that bedtime is to be strictly observed in this house? the versatile, charismatic actor said he only did the movie so he could sing, and therefore wasn't pleased when he found out his voice would be overdubbed. # edelweiss, edelweiss. # every morning, you greet me #. it is the role for which he will always be remembered, but, for such a long time, wished people would forget — making his disdain for the film clear by renaming it the sound of mucus. yes, i did say that, but so did we all. we alljoked about the sound of music. you had to. when you do something very delicate and sentimental and coy, in order to avoid being sentimental and coy, you have to joke about it and see the funny side of it. christopher plummer was born into a wealthy canadian family. his great—grandfather was the country's third prime minister. he considered becoming a concert pianist, but chose acting, instead, making his name first on stage playing lead roles such as shakespeare's henry v, for which he gained comparisons to laurence olivier. and upon this charge, cry, "god for harry! england and st george!" he brought weight and humanity to the role of rudyard kipling in the man who would be king. a character actor of rare skill, he reached new heights when he entered his 80s. and he became the oldest actor to win an oscar for his performance as hal, an elderly widower coming out as gay to his unsuspecting son. and he became the oldest oscar acting nominee when he replaced kevin spacey asjohn paul getty in ridley scott's film all the money in the world. the great struggle in life is coming to grips with what that price is. christopher comes with this inordinate charm, a smile and his twinkle. the twinkle and smile somehow make him that much more effective. it makes him quite lethal, but in a charming way. julie andrews said of christopher plummer, "the world has lost a consummate actor, and i have lost a cherished friend." incredible legacy he left behind in terms of movies he was involved in. the sound of music will be up there on so many people's list of favourites. the queen is celebrating a big milestone today — she is entering her 70th year on the throne. the monarch would normally mark the annual occasion in sandringham. but the pandemic means for the first time in 31 years, she'll be at windsor castle for the anniversary. the queen, who is the nation's longest—reigning monarch, isjust one year away from her platinum jubilee. you are probably aware by now that quite a few alarm bells going off around the weather. is that the picture already? i think this was taken a couple of weeks ago when we saw snow in the south—east of england, but it is likely to be the picture again in some areas of the picture again in some areas of the south—east. you are right. there is a degree of alarm to weather anticipated this weekend. turning colder for all but for some it will be a case of blue skies and sunshine but feeling cold. scotland has borne the brunt of snow recently with an amber warning still here until lunchtime today. close to the coast are mostly rain this morning but this afternoon colder air coming across and it will start to turn the rain to snow and that is what you see in northern england in the afternoon. contrast that to western scotland, wales, the south—west with sunshine this afternoon. elsewhere rain clearing through the afternoon. the rain swirling south as we move through the night. further snow showers on the easterly wind to scotland and northern england and sheltered western areas stay clear. frost overnight. ice possiblyjust about anywhere first thing tomorrow. this is the biggest concern. as the cold air extends south across the uk, and we have a storm system here, to the south of the uk, with this tail hanging back. this is storm darcy and what we get out of that tale as it sits in the cold air on sunday could be the biggest problem. the met office has an amber warning they anticipate disruption in parts of norfolk, suffolk and kent. strong to gale force winds on sunday mean blizzards and drifting could be possible. 20 centimetres of snow possible. 20 centimetres of snow possible in some areas. this is the position of how far west the snow will sit and it might change as we get closer to the time. plenty of snow showers further north. it will feel cold. sunshine in the midlands, wales, south—west of england. perhaps more cloud in northern ireland. this is the area to bear in mind. temperatures as you see them on the thermometer, but feeling colder in the easterly wind. the picture does not change dramatically on monday. we sit in cold air with a strong easterly wind. perhaps less in the way of falling snow on monday but still some coming into eastern coastal counties. in the west, perhaps more sunshine. but the cold is the big story, i think through the week ahead. if you are heading out, have in the back of your mind it will feel for some close to minus four degrees, minus five degrees. i think the blue in the map tells us everything we need to know. around this time we have an opportunity to talk about a lot of questions you have. we can introduce our expert panellists. we're joined now by virologist chris smith. and professor of public health, linda bauld. iam i am channelling jackie weaver and say you have the authority. there is praise at the moment for the nhs and vaccine programme that is working. can you, with your knowledge of how things, on previous occasions with vaccination programmes, put it in context to the scale of what has been achieved. i context to the scale of what has been achieved.— been achieved. i will start

move on, the programme is rolling out at a phenomenal speed. over 10 billion have had a first dose and the uptake is amazing. in scotland, 99% in care homes have received the first dose. if you put it into the context of other programmes, annually we the flu vaccine. good uptake this year but in most years, 60-70% uptake this year but in most years, 60—70% uptake in key groups, sometimes a bit higher. the uptake is phenomenal. at the beginning, we said were four things needed to make the vaccination success. supply, venues, people to deliver it and people to take it up. it does not look like we have to worry about the fourth and on the other three we are making progress. it is fourth and on the other three we are making progress-— making progress. it is quite phenomenal. _ making

the public health measures. we are rolling out vaccination, we are making good progress with people in their 70s. then 60s and 50s, but in their 70s. then 60s and 50s, but in the meantime retaining

to a degree. a short time ago everybody paused with the desperately sad numbers of people who died. we reached the moment of over 100,000. today, many papers see rays of hope. they talk about april, may, how things might be different. the latest uk figures, 19,114 people tested positive on friday. what kind of levels of infection rate can we think about in relation to officially the guidelines changing around how society works? how do you marry up those two things? it’s marry up those two things? it's about marry up those two things? it�*s about sustained progress. the latest infection survey from friday shows infection survey from friday shows in england there are over 800,000 people we suspect to have the virus, a higher number than the symptomatic testing figures you have mentioned. how do we move away from current restrictions? we need to look at indicators, the number of cases going down significantly, a lot, even though the r number is just below one. the number in hospital. that is higher than it was even in the first wave and needs to go down significantly. even though we had 200 fewer deaths yesterday compared to a week ago, we are seeing high rates of mortality. there is no single indicator to say if we get to 2000 cases a day, something like that, everything is fine. it is a basket of 5—6 key things we need to look at. but if r number is below one the next few weeks we will be confident, certainly the discussion about schools going back. here in scotland for younger children, around the last week in february and in england hopefully the beginning of march and after schools have been open, if things are going well, i think other sectors of the economy will start to reopen. thinking about nonessential retail, more workplaces. and then

ever test match total, which is 254. he passed the 200 mark in style too, whacking ravi ashwin for 6. the england captain now has the record for the highest score for a player, in their 100th test. his innings has england in a dominant position in chennai. he's now moved onto 217, they've just lost olly pope for 34 and after tea now, england are 474 for 5. as| as i was writing that he is inching toward his highest ever test total. ijust toward his highest ever test total. i just have toward his highest ever test total. ijust have in the back of my mind, don't write it, don't say it. i can't

this morning. italy, france and england scotland today and there will also, be plenty of big hits and challenges in tomorrow night's super bowl when the kansas city chiefs, play the tampa bay, bucaneers. of course like everything at the moment, there are changes to the usual proceedings because of coronavirus. dan walker has caught up with, osi and jason, from the nfl show, ahead of the big game. hello, everybody. from the bbc breakfast sofa, our red nfl show let me introduce you to the one and only osi. how many times have you won the super bowl? twice. you don't mention it that often. and jason bell, the former nfl corner as well. great to have you talking about the big one this weekend which is, it has been an extraordinary season and i suppose you have to give, first of all, great credit to the authority to making sure that, despite the disruption, the lack of fans, the whole pandemic situation, here we are with the super bowl in the first week of february. where there is a will, there is a way. in the nfl has proved that once again fantastic leadership by the nfl. the organisers, even the doctors and medical teams, all the people make this happen, they did a tremendous job this year. because you said all season that everybody is taking on two opponents for the last few months. absolutely, you have your opponent on the field and you have covid and all the teams were aware of that and they did everything they could this year to do the best to keep everyone healthy and safe. so, we started the regular season with 32 teams. 14 of those made it through to the play—offs and now we're down to the big we have the kansas city chiefs who won it last year, taking on the tampa bay buccaneers who got tom brady. won it six times with the patriots, could now when it with the tampa bay buccaneers. give us an idea, how surprising as it to some people that these two teams are facing each other in the super bowl? well, we thought kansas city might get back here because of them repeating and having probably the best young quarterback in football, but we didn't think tom brady with his new team could make it. it's an extraordinary feat, it makes you know what he is the greatest of all time. it's probably worth mentioning that osi, your two super bowls came against tom brady and the patriots. you faced him and he defeated him on both occasions. but the amazing thing is, he's 43 years old and he's still going. incredible, he showing that age doesn't matter. it's not about how old you are, he is aged just like a fine wine. this guy is incredible. what this guy is able to do it this age is unprecedented. nobody saw this coming. like jason said, nobody thought tampa bay would be in the super bowl, but if we were smart and we understood that tom brady was the quarterback, we would have been like, yeah, of course they're going to be the super bowl! so i suppose the message is, if you're watching this and you're in your 40s, support tom brady because he is doing it for everybody in their 40s. there is hope for all of us! let's say i bump into you to in the street. say i'm not doing anything this weekend, you tell me the super bowl is on. sell it to me. imagine there is somebody here who has never watched a game of nfl before in their life. convince them to watch it this weekend. do you want to be entertained? well, come on and watch the nfl, watch the super bowl. the best athletes in the world, going at it for the trophy that my man osi has one twice. osi? do you like america? if you like america, watch the super bowl... actually, it's just a fantastic football game and it's the biggest game in america, you hear about all the other sports, basketball, baseball, hockey. american football league, the nfl, it's bigger than all the sports combined. see you are getting a slice of american history every time you watch it. and it's a huge event, isn't it? they'll be 20 thousand fans in the stadium, in tampa bay, the tampa bay buccaneers of the first team to play at home, which could be a factor, do they? absolutely. they understand where they're at. when you come into any environment, there is a bit of uncertainty, they don't have that and they have a huge cannon in the end zone that every time you score it goes off and it's great to be in the crowd and listen to that. you too are the best salesman in the business, by the way. if i wasn't going to watch it, i will now. thank you very much, enjoy a weekend, enjoy the super bowl, so it's the tampa bay buccaneers taking on the kansas city chiefs. we've done the talking, all you've got to do now is remind everybody watching where and when you can watch the super bowl. thank you very much watching. you can follow coverage of the super bowl on bbc two from 11pm on sunday, which switches over to bbc one from 11.30. confirmation in india, joe root, out for 213. still dominating that first test. nowjust try and imagine, the pain of rowing over 50 miles in one day, but then do it for 55 days on the trot and you're on your own the whole time that has been the challenge crossing the atlantic, for frank rothwell, who i should add is 70 years old. he is set to make history in the next few hours, as the oldest person to complete the atlantic rowing challenge. he's expected to cross the finish line, off antigua, sometime before midday. as he prepared for his final push, this week, i caught up with frank on the phone, and his family back home. alone at sea, at the mercy of the vast atlantic ocean, rowing nonstop, apart from when he's eating and sleeping in his tiny hole, for nearly two months on end. right through christmas with a santa hat on. but after 3000 miles, through christmas with a santa hat on. but after3000 miles, frank rothwell, who 70 years old, is nearly there in antigua. on the verge of making history as the oldest person to complete this transatlantic race. hello, frank. it's pouring with rain back in the uk. are you bobbing along in

company, even if he is unsure of the actual breed of bird it's become his new friend. he's gone. it was back at the end of november that frank was last able to see the cows over the fence on the moors here near oldham before he flew off to the canaries and started his rowing challenge over to antigua. the first christmas apart from his beloved wifejudith in the 50 years of marriage. she says they

appropriately. as my mum would say, but you vest on. it's going to be cold this weekend. we have relatively mild air to the south. that colder air will extend across all parts of the uk this weekend and for some, the prospect of heavy and disruptive snow. still some issues across parts of scotland at the moment stop met office warnings still stand here from midday today. will tend to see this no off through the afternoon, but we will see some rain close to the coast and turning increasingly wintry. pulling colder air in from scandinavia and in the afternoon, the same happening across the north—east of england. a lot of sunshine today, it will feel chilly across western scotland, relatively mild from the south, highs of five to 6 degrees and a frosty start. rain pushes across central and eastern england, eventually over the hill through the night. further snow showers streaming and of the north sea for scotland and northern england. widespread frost on sunday, icejust about england. widespread frost on sunday, ice just about anywhere, a lot of surface water standing at the moment. this is the cold air that is coming on across the uk, dragging it into scandinavia, it makes its way south and it bums into this. this area of low pressure, normally wouldn't have a bigger impact on this, heading off into the continent, but because that tail and that weather front stalls across the south—east on sunday, the met office is concerned that we don't see quite a bit of snow piling up. notjust know, but strong winds as well. 40 to 50 mph. strong winds across the board, so even if you have decent sunshine, and i think you probably will be affected still by the wind in the cold. we could see up to 20 centimetres of snow falling across in parts of norfolk, suffolk and down into kent. there isjust a bit of a? as to the westernmost boundary and where that weather front will sit. it's worth keeping up—to—date with the forecast. local radio is a great place as well because if it does stretch a bit further west, it could get across to oxfordshire and hampshire. towards the west, as you can see, it's... wales, midlands, south west, northern ireland as well, quieter conditions for scotland in order england but snow showers coming in of the north sea. monday still looking cold, still at the easterly wind, but i think this no will be less of an issue, but of course, lying snow, plenty of ice. slips and tricks on all of that and it will feel bitter as well, with the wind sub—0 for all of us. if, this evening, you were to look skyward. are there any clear skies anywhere? because, there is quite low pollution, it would be a great place to be, but also for northern ireland, a bit hit and miss across england and wales, we had that blanket of rain, but towards the west through the evening across the south—west and wales, is a good chance as well. i'm loving this vibe. it's the closest i've come to filling like an nite club for a long time. is

just the thing to make the most of the long winter nights. and you can record your findings as part of the annual star count project which launches today — it's encouraging people across the uk to count the stars wherever they live, to see what effect light pollution is having on our views of the galaxy. fiona lamdin reports. we are all being asked to look up to the skies and count the stars this week. we will be looking for orion, which is the three stars that make up the belt. it's so experts can get an accurate picture of light pollution levels across the uk right now. it's basically too much light in the wrong place. so it might be a sky glow — that's that kind of orange glow you see when you approach a town or city. and the other kind is a sky glare, a light that shines right in your eyes and is really annoying, or right into your bedroom, and that's the light pointing in the wrong direction. why is light pollution harmful? for birds, for instance, foramphibians, bats — it's really harmful. we've heard of birds waking up in the middle of the night and singing under a bright street light, and that blue light is particularly damaging for wildlife. you can count the stars with your eyes from your window, balcony or garden. when you go out to do your star count, turn to the east or south—east depending on the time of night, find the constellation and identify the four corner stars — they are very bright and they form a sort of rectangle in the sky. then count the number of stars you can see in those foui’ corner stars. don't include the corner stars themselves but everything you see inside. i think people can expect to see maybe ten or so stars if you are in a fairly light polluted area, but if you've got really good dark skies, you probably will see 30—plus stars. so you are doing really well if you can see that number. space scientist dr maggie aderin—pocock has been counting the stars during lockdown. we can step outside together, snuggle up and take on the night sky. it's exciting, did you see that? we can share that together. it's a nice relaxing thing to do before going to sleep. it makes me feel a lot more peaceful. last year research showed two—thirds of us live with severe light pollution. it's hoped lockdown might changed this. not only has reduced movement and traffic on our roads impacted reduced levels of light pollution, we've also seen an increase in the movement of nocturnal wildlife, and in doing so our dark skies have appeared that much darker. while you might not be lucky enough to see this, if you fancyjoining in any night this week, spot the stars and record your findings on the star count website. everyone's results will show the effect light is having on our views of the galaxy. now, the people we are going to speak to injust now, the people we are going to speak to in just a moment would appreciate what wejust speak to in just a moment would appreciate what we just saw then. tonight sees the bbc�*s latest natural history series hit our screens. i bet the places they have been filming have the most incredible clear skies. 'stormborn' has been three years in the making, and follows a whole host of animals struggling to adapt to climate change, in some of the most remote corners of the world. let's take a look. it spins in a defensive strategy, evolved to protect them from wolves and bears. a vast, living carousel. and the great march begins. we're joined now by the couple behind the series jackie savery and nigel pope, alongside one of the cameramen — fergus gill. good morning to everyone. people, even those brief images get the sense of the scale of what we were looking at. maybe first, what temperatures, watch conditions, those creatures living in and camera people like yourselves having to work? yeah, it's amazing, particularly in norway in the winter, you can be dancing at —20 degrees and if the wind starts blowing, it can feel pretty cold out there. and then you can see wildlife. it's amazing. first up, let's look at the arctic fox. it's such a beautiful animal and living in such extreme conditions. nigel, do you want to pick up, how is it that the arctic fox can survive? like the reindeer, the arctic fox is marvellously well adapting. they've got thick fare everywhere, apart from the tip of their nose. they can deal with practically anything. the bit for the arctic fox we are going to say it was actually in the summer. even in the summer in iceland, fergus came back the chilblains and goodness knows what. so, it's a real challenge. we are a hardy, northern, independent production team shooting all over the place, so we cope. i bet there were probably _ the place, so we cope. i bet there were probably moments - the place, so we cope. i bet there were probably moments when - the place, so we cope. i bet there| were probably moments when you thought, blimey, what we got ourselves into?— thought, blimey, what we got ourselves into?
