access visas for the eu? some of our biggest stars take the case to parliament. and ronan keating tells us why the government can't just say nothing at all. history for tom brady — at the age of 43, he becomes the oldest player to win the super bowl with tampa bay buccaneers. storm darcy brings snow to many — this is the scene in essex this morning. and there is more snow on the way today. two amber warnings for the south—east and east anglia, another for the north midlands, lincolnshire and parts of yorkshire. it is going to be bitterly cold wherever you are and some of that snow will be blowing. details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday, february the 8th. our top story. the vaccines minister has said uk scientists are "rising to the challenge" of new covid variants, after a study suggested the oxford jab was less effective against the milder symptoms of the south african strain. nadhim zahawi said the vaccine remains a vital part of our fight against covid and that it may be updated to block new mutations. he made the comments as more vaccine centres are opened across england. danjohnson has the story. just roll your sleeve up. first of all... the race to arm the nation against coronavirus is stepping up another gear, with 18 new vaccination centres opening today across england. elland road's seen some pretty special shots on goal over the years — now the leeds united stadium's also helping give a shot in the arm, boosting the effort to get the top four priority groups part one of their vaccination by this time next week. that's all those over 70, people who are clinically extremely vulnerable, care home residents and staff who work there, as well as front—line health and social care workers. there's a week to go, but we are on target to offer 15 million first doses — maybe more. the numbers do seem to be very impressive and that's great news, but i think the really key issue is that it's notjust a question of numbers, it's getting the vaccine doses into the right people. and that is being achieved, i think. we are seeing very high percentages of people in their 80s now covered, and now increasing numbers of people in their 70s — and in particularly the older age groups, that's a really powerful predictor of risk. in the last 24—hour period, just under 550,000 people had a first dose of one of the three approved vaccines — that takes the overall number who had their firstjab to just over 12 million. there are questions over how much protection these vaccines will give against new variants of the virus emerging here and in other countries. modified vaccines and boosterjabs are likely to be needed to beat mutations that could help the virus keep spreading for a long time yet. dan johnson, bbc news. plenty to talk about with regards to that today. we will be talking to the health minister, edward argar, at half past seven. south africa is suspending its full roll—out of the 0xford—astrazeneca vaccine, after a study showed disappointing results against the local variant of coronavirus. the small trial suggested the vaccine only offers limited protection against mild disease caused by the south african variant. the manufacturer says it's not yet established whether the jab would prevent severe disease and hospitalisation. it isa it is a temporary issue until we figure — it is a temporary issue until we figure out— it is a temporary issue until we figure out what the next steps are swposed — figure out what the next steps are supposed to be. at least 11 people are dead and 145 missing, after a piece of a himalayan glacier fell into a river and triggered a huge flood in northern india. the floodwaters burst open a dam, then deluged a valley in the state of uttarakhand, where a huge rescue operation is in place. 0ur south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has the details. this dramatic footage shows when the nanda devi glacier in the himalayas burst on sunday morning. as water gushed down the valley, damage and destruction. translation: about 50-100 people were running for their lives, - but couldn't be saved, and they were engulfed by the river. the situation here is still dangerous. people are leaving their homes and are fleeing towards the forest. with floodwaters rising and roads and homes destroyed, an urgent rescue operation was under way. hundreds of members of the indian military and disaster response units have been deployed to the area. translation: approximately 125 people could be missing - as per the estimates, but it could rise because the power company is unable to give the exact figures. everyone is busy in the rescue operations. cheering. a moment of hope, as workers rescued one man from this tunnel, but dozens more are still feared trapped. officials say two power plants, employing more than 150 people, were also hit. many of the workers remain unaccounted for. hospitals are on standby. in a tweet, india's prime minister's, narendra modi, said he was constantly monitoring the situation. "india stands with uttarakhand," he said. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. there's been more snow overnight in the east and south—east of england, as the so—called beast from the east keeps temperatures around freezing. our reporter ben bland is in clacton—on—sea, in essex. clacton is best known as a seaside resort, but it's not exactly beach weather today? morning. yeah, that it is not

asda and morrisons are among the major retailers calling for online stores like amazon to pay more tax once the pandemic has ended. they've written to the chancellor, rishi sunak, asking for what they call a "more level playing field". our business correspondent katie prescott reports. another consequence of the pandemic — online retailers are doing a roaring trade, while high street stores have had to close. seniorfigures who run and own 10,000 bricks and mortar shops are questioning whether traditional tax structures on the value of property still make sense, as tax on shops is often far higher in warehouses. there are some of those businesses that say, unless they get to a fairer position in terms of how they're trading in respect of online retailing, which gets a very easy ride currently, with the current of business rates system, unless we can get to a fairer position, then this situation, as i say, started before the pandemic but has been really exacerbated in the last year, this situation�*s only going to get worse and people are going to see their high streets, i'm afraid, looking even less healthy and vibrant than they perhaps were before. in a letter to government, they've said nearly 15,000 jobs in the sector have already been lost, and more could follow. even before covid—19, the current system penalised physical shops. reducing business rates for retailers and rebalancing the tax system to ensure online retailers pay a fair share of tax would provide a vital boost to bricks and mortar retailers, and support communities in need of levelling up. there is currently a review of business rates under way, and the government said it will consider the case for introducing an online sales tax as part of it. katie prescott, bbc news. the australian

wind chill. you really will feel that. snow showers and eventually we will see a return to hard overnight frost. the met office has two amber weather warnings in force. this one has been in force for the last couple of days. it is for east anglia and the south—east. it runs out at lunchtime. this one is in force until 2pm this afternoon and both of them are for some snow and indeed that snow could prove to be disruptive. this is the snow radar picture, if you like. you could see all the snow coming in across the south—east. here in manston in kent we have got 16 centimetres, but a lot of snow showers. as we go through the course of today some of those showers will line up in two bands. if you are starting in falkirk, the midlands and lincolnshire. gusty winds across kent at east anglia, blowing those showers further inland. you have got a better chance of missing them in the west. some of them will be blowing. you can see the winds strengthened. temperatures today on your thermometer

that once restrictions lift, musicians can get back on the road again. nina's got the details. she's got ronan keating coming in later. and she managed to get a ronan keating lyric into her opening introduction. it ronan keating lyric into her opening introduction-— introduction. it would be a roller-coaster, _ introduction. it would be a roller-coaster, dan. - introduction. it would be a - roller-coaster, dan. musicians are roller—coaster, dan. musicians are dealing with coronavirus and visa applications after leaving the eu. who would have thought they would be an impact on big stars like ed sheeran, sting and even nicola benedetti? artists like these — and many whose names we're less familiar with — drive a major industry, generating huge revenues not only when they sell records, but when they hit the road. in fact, live music contributed over a billion pounds a year to the uk economy before the pandemic. it employs more then 30,000 people. leaving the eu meant the end of free movement rules. uk musicians can only visit eu countries for 90 days out of every 180 days. those working on a long tour — both artists and their crew — will need work permits. there's also new rules about trucks, equipment, instruments and merchandise. potentially making it harder and more expensive, especially for young, up and coming talent. the younger end of the musician sector may well decide that actually they can't afford to tour. so all that development of a music career that development of a music career that then leads into potentially a recording contract or going to the united states, is going to disappear. so i think it is going to really impact in terms of career development for our emerging artists. some big names have been calling on the government to agree a special deal with the eu over this. eltonjohn recently had a 20—minute zoom meeting with the secretary of state for culture media and sport, oliver dowden. but it's notjust big players who are worried. stuart runs a small audio visual production company with just five employees. the reason that we do the jobs in europe _ the reason that we do the jobs in europe that we do is that, i know

year, allowing multiple entries across the eu. that is being considered by a committee of mps today. they have to power to get the issue looked at by parliament. we asked the government for a statement. they said that the eu has rejected their proposals to resolve this problem in the past, but they say they will work with the music industry to resolve the issue. later on i'll be talking to former boyzone singer ronan keating to find out what he has to say. and it's a bit of a hot potato between the uk and the eu. and the issue is, if there is a special deal, perhaps those in finance or agriculture, or manufacturer, what about us, why can't we get a special deal? but the argument from loads of big artists is this is a special industry where we are genuine world leaders and it needs

today's papers. vaccines minister nadhim zahawi has told the telegraph the public can still have confidence in the oxford jab, despite suggestions it is less effective against the south africa variant. writing for the paper, mr zahawi said the vaccines "work well against the covid—19 variants currently dominant in the uk". the picture is of a skier enjoying the snow in kent yesterday. the metro leads with new figures showing the uk is vaccinating almost 1,000 people a minute, with more than 12 million first doses of coronavirus jabs delivered so far. the guardian leads with an investigation claiming the queen successfully lobbied the government to change a draft law to conceal her private wealth from the public. buckingham palace says claims the monarch blocked legislation are "simply incorrect". one of the most read articles on the bbc news website is about the weekend's super bowl half—time performance. the canadian r&b singer was joined by dozens of dancers in full facial bandages, and remained mainly in the stands rather than on the pitch, due to strict coronavirus protocols. did you watch the super bowl? i know that somebody _ did you watch the super bowl? i

important as your arms. the size of those guns, frank, they're very dangerous, put them away! you're raising money for a fantastic cause, aren't you? we can see it on the side of your vessel there. tell us a bit about why you have chosen alzheimer's research? yeah. i have more friends and people i know who are affected by alzheimer's than anything else. the biggest challenge is going to be missing my wife. we've been married 50 years. we were childhood sweethearts. we got married as teenagers. i love the lady. lovely companion. and she's my best mate. 70 years old! # well, i'm the kind of guy who will never settle down. # because where the girls are, well you know that i'm around. # i hug them and i squeeze them, to me they're all the same. they don't even know my name. # they call me the wanderer, the wanderer. # i roam around, around, around, around, around.# if anything is going to cheer you up, frank is going to cheer you up. that is what happen when you spend 60 days on your own! we'll be talking to frank and his wifejudith at around ten to nine. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. extra police officers have been deployed across the capital after two people were killed and at least 1a others injured in a spate of separate stabbings over the weekend. 22—year—old sven badzak was killed after being chased by a group of men in kilburn in north london — his friend is critically ill in hospital. meanwhile another man, also 22, was stabbed to death in croydon on friday night. further disruption is expected today after widespread snow over the weekend in london and the south east. the nhs say vaccine centres will remain open. but people are being advised if they feel unsure about travelling in poor weather conditions, they are able to change theirappointments, either by contacting their local nhs service, looking at the nhs website, or by calling 119. the pandemic has of course affected everyone in different ways, especially those who have kept working throughout lockdown to keep london going. piab is one of many couriers who spends time delivering items to homes and businesses across london. demand for home deliveries has spiked during lockdown, with couriers clocking up many miles every week. we were off—the—hook busy and everybody was being pushed to their limits, we were riding ridiculous miles every day. i got a puncture on my bike and it just hit me and i sat on the kerb and i had a little cry and ijust sort of, you know, sorted it out, got back on the bike. i was exhausted — everybody was. it was quite tough at points. let's take a look at the travel situation now. we have lots of problems on the tube this morning. severe delays on the circle and hammersmith & city lines, minor delays on thejubilee line, the metropolitan line has severe delays — all because of a faulty train. in fact they are minor delays on the circle line. and in kilburn, willesden lane is closed from the high road to paddington old cemetery due to the police investigations we told you about earlier. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. get set for a significantly cold week of weather across the capital. it's going to feel icy with a brisk easterly wind and there will be some more snow showers around at times, too. now, there's a met office weather warning across the capital in place until midnight on wednesday for snow, and that's escalated to an amber — the second highest level of alert — valid until midday today for parts of kent and essex. out towards the east, the snow will tend to be heavier. now, the snow showers are likely to form in lines — within those lines there could be a good few centimetres on top of what we've already got, but some places, of course, we'll see nothing at all. it will tend to be a bit lighter out towards the west. temperatures won't get past freezing for most of us all day and it's going to feel colder than this with a significant wind chill. that brisk easterly wind is going to feel really very cold, indeed. it will continue overnight tonight. there'll be some more snow showers around at times. temperatures again dropping as low as minus three, perhaps minus four degrees celsius. tomorrow, we do the whole thing all over again. some more snow showers in the forecast. the winds will be lighter and it will be drier by wednesday. there's more from me in half and hour — plenty more, too, on our website. now i'll hand you back to dan and louise — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning... father—and—son team bradley and barney walsh have been on the road again — and up in the air, too. this is my sun's favourite programme in the world, ever. they'll be joining us for a chat about their latest series of breaking dad. i can be a cheerleader, i can make you a great breakfast and i can make you smile before you start your day. but you don't necessarily want me in your history lessons. don't worry — even music legends dread home schooling, too. we'll hear from the foo fighters frontman, dave grohl, about lockdown life, his new album, and a burning ambition to learn tap dancing. yes, seriously. music: bbc news theme. and from breaking news to busting moves. we'll speak to three friends — one of them a bbcjournalist — who have made their own headlines by dancing to tv news theme tunes. they are going to be on the programme shortly and dan will try it. . , , ., programme shortly and dan will try it.

remains low. dr nighat arif is one of our regular breakfast gps. she's been finding out why some people are reluctant to have the jab. so i know that we've had real difficulties trying to get some of the members of our community vaccinated — particularly our asian community. have you come across that setting up this local hub? a lot of the misinformation that's coming out is through things like social media. and i think what's happening is a lot of the younger generation are influencing their parents. we've had cases where parents were initially happy to come in, had a chat with their kids and their kids kind of said, "ohh, i'm not so sure." hi, sophia. thank you so much. good afternoon, how are you? i'm good, thank you. so, sophia, you were quite hesitant about having the covid—19 vaccine. can you tell me a little bit more about that? ijust put two and two together, and there's... sadly, there's a lot of conspiracy theories and there's a lot of, like, injustice in regards to, like, the facts that get spread around, and it's kind of hard at times and you do get sucked into it. and i was so focused on looking at it from one angle and i didn't even realise that there were other multiple facets to the story. dr nighat arifjoins us now from buckinghamshire. good morning, good to see you. it is really interesting, seeing that. there are lots of different reasons that there are some real concerns from people that you are often having to help them through. it’s having to help them through. it's natural to having to help them through. it�*s natural to have concerns. coronavirus right from the beginning has been dubbed with conspiracy, whenever we have any new form of medication, three measures will be asked. is this treatment necessary? yes, it is, it is one of our tools to help get out of the covid—19 pandemic and the lockdown. the next question is, is this safe? the mr hh has done so much research and independent bodies have said, yes, this assay. then patients ask if it is effective. we know from lots different trials that it is effective. we know from previous vaccination programmes. we don't see polio any more. we that vaccinations are effective and this will be one of the ways we can get to some normality, whatever that is to. it normality, whatever that is to. it is really interesting seeing the piece you have done for us this morning about younger people having an influence on their parents and grandparents. what do you think can be done to help that? i grandparents. what do you think can be done to help that?— be done to help that? i think this is completely _ be done to help that? i think this is completely something - be done to help that? i think this is completely something that - be done to help that? i think this is completely something that we | be done to help that? i think this - is completely something that we were aware of what not to the extent and thatis aware of what not to the extent and that is because younger people are tapping into social media, whatsapp, facebook, instagram, tiktok, as this information can spread like wildfire and we are a global community. anything that starts somewhere else, like someone has had an adverse reaction, unfortunately that gets around the world. there are loads of things we are going to look at that. we are looking at education around that, working with the halo project in association with unicef and the london school of tropical medicine to tackle the misinformation. doctor amir khan, jamie pyper, there are a lot of workers. we need to give information to young people in a digestible way, give young people information that builds on their own knowledge of science because not everybody has the same level of scientific knowledge. we need to access information and speak to them in a way they will understand. and try to have a lot more clarity from the governing bodies because there is lots of confusing messages and we need to get the clarity from the government at times and i think the combination will help young people understand messages and we give one message, sing from the same hymn book and hopefully people will realise the vaccine is safe and do not be put off by myths.- realise the vaccine is safe and do not be put off by myths. there has been a study _ not be put off by myths. there has been a study on _ not be put off by

please don't panic. that is one | is, please don't panic. that is one study and lots of studies need to be done and it is a far more complex situation. i need to go back over what the african variant is. there has been about 100 or so cases. it is more contagious. might urology police will know far more than i do as a gp there is one mutation that has happened, which is n150y, that just means it is far more contagious. we know how to manage viruses. wash your hands, cover our face, keep distance. mutations are also completely normal, we see them all the time. flu virus, we know them, we take the vaccine every year. there is one of the mutation that has happened. which is e484k, which means that your immune system may not be able to pick up the virus very much and fight it off robustly and that's why we think that that mutation could mean the vaccine doesn't work. pfizer and modernity vaccines, no issues in regard to working against the variance. there isn't enough evidence to suggest it might not give you the immunity you need. we are still researching but please don't panic, it is still early doors and we are far better at getting a handle on viruses than ever before.— getting a

because our boss is watching, i'm is best subject for you to talk about. lots of sport happening overnight and sport happening now. england's cricketers are batting again and looking to extend their commanding lead after bowling out india on the fourth morning of the first test in india england needed four more wickets to wrap up of the first test in india. england needed four more wickets to wrap up the india tail and rounded things off in style with this great catch from ben stokes. the home side all out for 337. that meant england had a lead of 241, and chose not to enforce the follow on in the search of quick runs. but they had the worst possible start, losing rory burns first ball. they're one for one at lunch. as we were hearing earlier in the programme, the australian open is under way in melbourne, and some of the big names are already through to the second round. 23 time grand slam champion serena williams lost only two games as she beat laura siegemund in straight sets. she needed only 56 minutes to wrap up victory. naomi osaka is also through, but britain's katie boulter is out. she lost to daria kasatkina. the opening weekend of the six nations concluded with wales beating ireland in a brutal encounter in cardiff. ireland were playing catch—up from the start, after peter o'mahoney was red carded for this hit on wales's thomas francis. the first irish player ever to be red carded in the six nations. despite that the irish did lead at half—time but a try from george north and then this brilliant finish from louis rees—zammit made sure that wales, just about, sealed a narrow win. it's a long way back forjurgen klopp's side after a 4—1 defeat by manchester city leaves them them ten points behind, and city have a game in hand too. goalkeeper allison gifted city two goals in a 4—1 defeat at anfield — all the goals coming in the second half. phil foden fired in the fourth — and best goal of the game. and jurgen klopp admitted the game was over after alisson's two mistakes... tonight it was...decisive, i would say. that's ok — he's saved our lives i don't know how often and he's an absolutely world—class goalie and tonight something has gone a little bit wrong. meanwhile, chelsea are hot on liverpool's heels in the table now — they'rejust one place behind in 5th after they beat sheffield united 2—1 at bramhall lane. mason mount there with the pick of chelsea's goals. totte n ha m tottenham also won. despite being bottom of the scottish premiership, hamilton managed to snatch a late draw against league leaders rangers. steven gerrard's side looked like they were heading for all 3 points before this equaliser from ryan callachan, in the 94th minute of the match, drew hamilton level. rangers are still 21 points clear of celtic at the top. a couple of shock results have opened up the title race in the women's super league with leaders chelsea and second placed manchester united both losing chelsea's 33 game unbeaten run — stretching back two years — was ended by brighton. megan connolly's corner going straight in to win the game 2—1. manchester city are just two points behind —now after beating arsenal. i will hand

return to hard frost overnight. less cold later? it's not looking so likely now, looks like it will remain cold. the met office has two macro amber weather warning is in force, one we have had for a couple of days across east anglia and kent and a new one across parts of lincolnshire, south yorkshire and the north midlands. they are all for snow, this one runs out at lunchtime, the northern one runs out in the afternoon. disruption once again possible and currently we have again possible and currently we have a 16 centimetres of lying snow in manston in kent. if we look at the snow picture, this is what has happened already, you can see all the snow in the south—east, you can also see a plethora of showers coming in from the north sea, blowing inland. we will continue as we go through the day with this. someone that banks, sterling heading towards falkirk, across parts of yorkshire, getting on where we have our amber weather warning, yorkshire, getting on where we have

snow, five to ten centimetres of new snow, five to ten centimetres of new snow for some. these are the gusty winds. particularly around the coast of east anglia and kent, blowing those showers further inland. these are at the temperatures you may well see on your thermometer in towns and cities, but when you add on the wind—chill, oh, it will feela cities, but when you add on the wind—chill, oh, it will feel a lot colder! —5, —6 —7. a bitterly cold day. through this evening and overnight, still the risk of ice, some frost around and still those bands are showers coming in across parts of england, some getting over towards wales. the one across the central lowlands is one we are keeping a close eye on because we could see significant note from this. possibly a gain as much as ten centimetres locally, possibly more than that. these are our overnight lows. adam wind—chill and it will feel colder. tomorrow we start off with the snow showers. it will be windy through the english channel and the south—west of england, not as windy east anglia and the south—west. we have rainjust lingering in the south—west. it may well come inland, it could possibly take some snow with it and the snow showers continue in other parts. those are our temperatures, —4, —5. that is how it will feel. for some it will feel colder. on wednesday, the isobars are more spaced so it won't be quite as windy as the next couple of days. these temperatures will reach you first thing on wednesday morning. —14 in parts of scotland! the lowest temperature we have had so far this winter was —13, so that will challenge it, and the cold will continue through the week. in fact, widespread cold, the coldest it has been since the last east from the east in 2018. it’s east from the east in 2018. it's really something. amazing to see it all blue, as well. i know you will be taking us through the details through the week. 6:50am. there aren't many upsides to this lockdown, but at least it's given us the time to enjoy all sorts of weird and wonderful forms of creativity — which is probably the best way to describe this video, which has been viewed two million times since it was posted last week. take a look. music: bbc news theme. it's brilliant! we have probably helped with some of the viewings. i feel like the theme tune is embedded in my head. and the three friends dancing to it were bbcjournalist katie wong and her friends thao nguyen and amy lester. they join us now. it is wonderful to see you. good mornina! it is wonderful to see you. good morning! we — it is wonderful to see

else's ticked up. i have never used tiktok before. last time i downloaded it i deleted it so then i downloaded it i deleted it so then i thought, lock down, got a lot of time, thought we'd try tiktok because it is fun, something that you don't have to put too much thought into. initially we would copy somebody else's are trained but i remembered a colleague years ago seeing them ever saying the channel 4 news theme was a tune. so i thought about the bbc news theme so we were just having a laugh and putting it together and didn't think much about it. the bbc one took one take. we got it to instagram initially but then i thought, well, it is perfect tiktok format, i will chuck it and there. it had zero views, i had one follower, which was my cousinjasmine! laughter so, yeah. laughter so,

good morning, i'm sonja jessup. extra police officers have been deployed across the capital, after two people were killed and at least 14 others injured in a spate of separate stabbings over the weekend. 22—year—old sven badzak was killed after being chased by a group of men in kilburn in north london. his friend is critically ill in hospital. meanwhile, another man, also 22, was stabbed to death in croydon on friday night. further disruption is expected today, after widespread snow over the weekend in london and the south east. the nhs says vaccine centres will stay open, but says if people are worried about travelling, they can change their appointments. london ambulance service has asked for people to check on vulnerable neighbours. of course, over lockdown demand for home deliveries has shot up and with it the pressure on post workers and couriers. piab works as a courier, delivering to homes and businesses across the capital, and clocking up many miles every week. we were off—the—hook busy and everybody was being pushed to their limits, we were riding ridiculous miles every day. i got a puncture on my bike and it just hit me and i sat on the kerb and i had a little cry and ijust sort of, you know, sorted it out, got back on the bike. i was exhausted — everybody was. it was quite tough at points. and you can see piab's story on our lunchtime news at 1.30— the first of three films looking at the impact of the pandemic on key workers. let's take a look at the travel situation now. we have lots of problems on the tube this morning. minor delays on the circle and hammersmith and city lines. severe delays on thejubilee line. the metropolitan line has severe delays, all because of a faulty train. here's how the a2 looks. those usual delays heading into central london at the danson interchange because of roadworks. and in kilburn, willesden lane is closed from the high road to paddington old cemetery, due to the police investigations we told you about earlier. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. get set for a significantly cold week of weather across the capital. it's going to feel icy with a brisk easterly wind and there will be some more snow showers around at times, too. now, there's a met office weather warning across the capital in place until midnight on wednesday for snow, and that's escalated to an amber — the second highest level of alert — valid until midday today for parts of kent and essex. out towards the east, the snow will tend to be heavier. now, the snow showers are likely to form in lines — within those lines there could be a good few centimetres on top of what we've already got, but some places, of course, we'll see nothing at all. it will tend to be a bit lighter out towards the west. temperatures won't get past freezing for most of us all day and it's going to feel colder than this with a significant wind chill. that brisk easterly wind is going to feel really very cold, indeed. it will continue overnight tonight. there'll be some more snow showers around at times. temperatures again dropping as low as minus three, perhaps minus four degrees celsius. tomorrow, we do the whole thing all over again. some more snow showers in the forecast. the winds will be lighter and it will be drier by wednesday. there's more from me in half and hour. plenty more too on our website. i'll hand you back to dan and louise — bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. ministers move to calm concerns about the oxford—astrazeneca jab, after early research suggested it's less effective against the south african variant of the virus. more new vaccine centres open as the uk moves closer to hitting the target of giving the jab to 15 million people by this time next week. the desperate search for more than a hundred people in india, after the collapse of a himalayan glacier triggers a huge flood. history for tom brady with his seventh super bowl win, making him the oldest player — at 43 — on the winning side, this time with the tampa bay buccaneers. storm darcy brings snow to many — this is the scene in essex this morning. and the met office has two amber weather warnings in force for that is now, one in the south—east and east anglia, another in the north midlands, south yorkshire and lincolnshire. further heavy snowfall to come today on a gusty wind and it will feel bitterly cold. details later. good morning. it's monday, february the 8th. our top story. the vaccines minister has said uk scientists are "rising to the challenge" of new covid variants, after a study suggested the oxford jab was less effective against the milder symptoms of the south african strain. nadhim zahawi said the vaccine remains a vital part of our fight against covid, and that it may be updated to block new mutations. he made the comments as more vaccine centres are opened across england. aruna iyengar has the story. i will need your sleeve up. first of all, what do i call you? the race to arm the uk against coronavirus is stepping up another gear, with 18 new vaccination centres opening today across england. elland road has seen some pretty special shots on goal over the years. now the leeds united stadium is also helping give a shot in the arm, boosting the effort to give the top four priority groups part one of their vaccination by this time next week. and we're on target to offer 15 million new doses, maybe more. the numbers do seem to be very impressive and that's great news, but i think the really key issue is that it's notjust a question of numbers, it's getting the vaccine doses into the right people. and that is being achieved, i think. we are seeing very high percentages of people in their 80s now covered, and now increasing numbers of people in their 70s — and particularly the older age groups, that's a really powerful predictor of risk. in the latest 24—hour period, just under 550,000 people had a first dose of one of the three approved vaccines — that takes the overall number who had their firstjab to just over 12 million. there are questions over how much protection these vaccines will give against new variants of the virus emerging here and in other countries. last night south africa announced it was suspending its full roll—out of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine come after a small study suggested the jab offers minimal protection against mild disease from the specific south african variant. the country was due to start with a million doses of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine in the next few days, but the new data has created uncertainty. it is a temporary issue, that we have to hold onto astrazeneca. it is temporary until we figure out these issues. what are the next step is supposed to be? when we know those steps, then of course we will bring it back. here, the vaccines minister has defended the jab, insisting it was vitally important in protecting the health care system. modified vaccines and boosterjabs are likely to be needed to beat mutations that could help the virus keep spreading for a long time yet. aruna iyengar, bbc news. let's get more now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, whojoins us from westminster. the government very much defending the vaccine programme, and so far the vaccine programme, and so far the huge roll—out we have seen? good the huge roll-out we have seen? good morninu. the huge roll-out we have seen? good morning- the — the huge roll-out we have seen? good morning. the vaccines _ the huge roll—out we have seen? (13pm morning. the vaccines minister has written an article in the daily telegraph today. i don't think it was in direct response to what has happened in south africa over the weekend. i think it is just part of the government are's planned to reassure people generally about the safety and the effectiveness of the vaccine programme in the uk. the main thing he points to is a study published by astrazeneca on friday which shows they are vaccine works pretty much the same against the new variant in the uk that started off in kent and has spread elsewhere. it is now the dominant strain in the uk. in other words, is now the dominant strain in the uk. in otherwords, don't is now the dominant strain in the uk. in other words, don't worry, the vaccines that are being put into people's i am is now still work. almost exactly as well as they worked before the new strain emerged. also what is becoming clearer by the day is that we're going to have to get vaccines for a while longer yet, whether it's because there are new strains emerging in various places around the world and they're different enough to mean you might need a slightly different vaccine, or the fact that once you have had the injection you get immunity for quite a long time but it does start to wane eventually, which means you might need a top up. does that mean we need a whole new structure for delivering vaccines, like the one being developed at the moment where you can go to a stadium or something like that? or does it get rolled into the annual flu jabs and becomes really routine, normal and easy to do? those are the questions in the next few months. lots do? those are the questions in the next few months.— do? those are the questions in the next few months. lots of questions. thank you- — at least 14 people are dead and 150 are missing, after a piece of a himalayan glacier fell into a river and triggered a huge flood in northern india. the floodwaters burst open a dam, then deluged a valley, where a huge rescue operation is in place. our correspondent paul hawkins has the details. these are the lucky ones. at least a dozen men rescued by the emergency workers, they were found trapped in this tunnel. their survival scarcely believable after the power of the water was destroyed —— which destroyed everything in its way. this dramatic footage shows when the nanda devi glacier in the himalayas burst on sunday morning. as water gushed down the valley, damage and destruction. translation: about 50-100 people were running for their lives, - but couldn't be saved, and they were engulfed by the river. the situation here is still dangerous. people are leaving their homes and are fleeing towards the forest. with floodwaters rising and roads and homes destroyed, an urgent rescue operation was under way. hundreds of members of the indian military and disaster response units have been deployed to the area. translation: approximately 125 people could be missing - as per the estimates, but it could rise because the power company is unable to give the exact figures. everyone is busy in the rescue operations. prime minister narendra modi is monitoring the situation. but many have died or are still missing. power plants were also hit. many remain unaccounted for. cheering. but moments like these keep hope alive. they keep the emergency workers digging. paul hawkins,

carol is taking a close look at, notjust today but over the next few days because there is a bit of it about, isn't there? there certainly is and there is more to come. good morning. there is a significant wind—chill factor as we go through much of this week. certainly today and tomorrow. further snow showers and then we will see a return to overnight frost. the met office has two weather warnings in force. east anglia and the south—east has been running a couple of days. and this one across south yorkshire, lincolnshire and the north midlands. the amber warning means an increased likelihood of disruption due to severe weather. in this case it is heavy snow. this is what has happened overnight. it is notjust the south—east that has seen this now. we have seen it in other eastern parts of the uk, with showers elsewhere. if you are disappointed perhaps you did not see snow yesterday, that may well be the reason why. further snow showers today. some of them forming bands. for example, across northern scotland, stirring towards falkirk, parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, into the midlands. and we have got gusty winds along the coast of east anglia and also cant. some of those showers going further west. many western areas will miss them all together. temperature wise today this is what we will see on the thermometer, from freezing to plus three. add on the wind chill and it will feel much colder. take a look at this. —5 in aberdeen, —7 in norwich. it is a day for wrapping up warmly if you are outside. and watch out for ice on untreated surfaces. plenty to be wary of this week, carol. . ~' , ., a schedule for easing the lockdown in england will be announced later this month, but nhs bosses and scientists have warned the government that lifting restrictions too soon will lead to another wave of coronavirus infections. let's take a look at the latest government data for the uk. it shows there were nearly 16,000 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. another 373 deaths were reported in the same period. that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. numbers do tend to be lower at weekends. and there are almost 30,000 patients currently being treated in hospital in the uk with covid—19. let's speak to chris hopson, chief executive of nhs providers, which represents hospitals and other nhs trusts in england, who is writing to borisjohnson to to urge him not to lift restrictions until the number of new infections drops below 1,000 a day. good morning. thank you forjoining us. just

president biden last month — but even dave grohl has to get stuck in with home schooling. the foo fighters frontman has caught up with our entertainment correspondent colin paterson for a chat about lockdown life, his new album and — believe it or not — a burning ambition to take up tap dancing. # i've been waiting on a war since i was young... # sincei was young... # since i was a little boy with a toy gun. how does it feel to be releasing your new album in the middle of a global pandemic? it’s your new album in the middle of a global pandemic?— global pandemic? it's a relief that --eole

two years ago. we started recording like me to 2019, with the intention that this album was going to be the soundtrack to our 25th anniversary. it is our tenth album. we are going on a massive world tour, playing stadiums and festivals, and we were making this really upbeat danceable record because it was going to be the biggest party ever lives and everything just stopped. i think the dam finally broke and i was just like, let's get it out there. we can't hit the stage right now but these songs are meant to be heard. # just waiting on a war. # just waiting on a war. # there's gotta be more to this than now. it is your tenth album. any acts do you have ten albums by? filth. it is your tenth album. any acts do you have ten albums by? oh, god! i don't know- — you have ten albums by?

don't know. someone once said to i you have ten albums by? oh, god! i. don't know. someone once said to me that bands are usually only good for one or two records. i think over time it becomes less of a band and more of a life. i think it's an incredible feeling. and to be honest, i can't believe we have survived. i can't believe we have made it this far. forget about the music. like, ican made it this far. forget about the music. like, i can still walk on two feet. like, that blows my mind. # it's times like these, learn to love again. # it's times like these, time and time again. you've also

i voted for the guy. unfortunately it was pre—recorded. we couldn't be in washington, dc. i was bummed out because it is my hometown. when i saw it on television i was actually watching on television drinking a beer. it was surreal but it was an honour. the important question — how is home schooling going? my kids know who i am. 0k? i've read my report cards to my kids before, so they're not necessarily going to come to me for anything academic. they just don't. like, i could be a cheerleader, i can make you a great breakfast and i could make you smile before you start your day. but you don't necessarily want me in your history lessons. you don't necessarily want me helping you with trigonometry. so, you know, i have a 14—year—old, 11—year—old and a 6—year—old. the 14—year—old, that's already so way beyond my comprehensive ability. i just... i don't... i can't. i can't do it. and she knows that! my 11—year—old — ok, i might be ok with that. but i don't know. it's getting a little tricky and it's getting tricky fast! my 6—year—old, i can do kindergarten. i can do kindergarten great. let's enlist you to do some music education to the children of britain, then. children are in home for lockdown. give them three albums they should listen to for their music education. wow. well, you're going to want to get the beatles' sgt pepper's. # it was 20 years ago today, sgt pepper taught the band to play. one reason is because that album still connects the way it did the day it came out. now, if you want to be a drummer, you're going to want to get the ac/dc album back in black. that is like... that is rock'n'roll drumming 101. music: back in black by ac/dc. a third album, i mean, i like myself a little party every now and then — i do like to dance. i mean, come on, let'sjust go with saturday night fever. like, look, if you put saturday night fever on, it's going to feel like saturday night. it could be a monday morning! i believe you have been learning something during lockdown — very unexpected — tap dancing. what's going on? ok, so first of all, i haven't really started this new life of tap dancing just yet. i'v e i've always wanted to be a tap dancer. any drummer, i'm sure, imagines like, i can probably figure that out, i understand that rhythm, i understand that time signature. not that your body can do it. but the thing i love about tap dancing most is that light, you could walk the world without anyone ever knowing that you can tap dance, until someone brings up tap dancing you're like really, what's this. you start to tap dance. when someone does that in front of you, you don't need music. does that in front of you, you don't need music-— does that in front of you, you don't need music. this could be the thing that finally breaks _ need

news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. extra police officers have been deployed across the capital after two people were killed and at least 14 others injured in a spate of separate stabbings over the weekend. 22—year—old sven badzak was killed after being chased by a group of men in kilbrun in north west london— his friend is critically ill in hospital. meanwhile another man, also 22, was stabbed to death in croydon on friday night. more snow— and more travel disruption is expected today for london and the south east. the nhs says vaccine centres will stay open. but says if people are worried about travelling they can change their appointments. london ambulance service has asked for people to check on vulnerable neighbours. of course over lockdown demand for home deliveries has shot up — and with it the pressure on post workers and couriers. piab flowers works as a courier delivering to homes and businesses across the capital and clocking up many miles every week. we were off—the—hook busy and everybody was being pushed to their limits, we were riding ridiculous miles every day. i got a puncture on my bike and it just hit me and i sat on the kerb and i had a little cry and ijust sort of, you know, sorted it out, got back on the bike. i was exhausted — everybody was. it was quite tough at points. and you can see piab's story on our lunchtime news at 1.30 — the first of three films looking at the impact of the pandemic on key workers. let's take a look at the travel situation now. we have lots of problems on the tube this morning. all because of a faulty train. southeastern trains have lots of cancellations this morning — in fact they say they "strongly advise" passengers don't attempt to travel with them today. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. get set for a significantly cold week of weather across the capital. it's going to feel icy with a brisk easterly wind and there will be some more snow showers around at times, too. now, there's a met office weather warning across the capital in place until midnight on wednesday for snow, and that's escalated to an amber — the second highest level of alert — valid until midday today for parts of kent and essex. out towards the east, the snow will tend to be heavier. now, the snow showers are likely to form in lines — within those lines there could be a good few centimetres on top of what we've already got, but some places, of course, we'll see nothing at all. it will tend to be a bit lighter out towards the west. temperatures won't get past freezing for most of us all day and it's going to feel colder than this with a significant wind chill. that brisk easterly wind is going to feel really very cold, indeed. it will continue overnight tonight. there'll be some more snow showers around at times. temperatures again dropping as low as minus three, perhaps minus four degrees celsius. tomorrow, we do the whole thing all over again. some more snow showers in the forecast. the winds will be lighter and it will be drier by wednesday. there's more from me in an hour. plenty more, too, on our website at the usual address. i'll hand you back to dan and louise — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. the vaccines minister has said uk scientists are "rising to the challenge" of new covid variants — after a study suggested the oxford jab was less effective against the milder symptoms of the south african strain. nadhim zahawi said the vaccine remains a vital part of our fight against covid and that it may be updated to block new mutations. he made the comments as more vaccine centres are opened across england. the health minister willjoin us in a few minutes' time to discuss that and a number of other things this morning. at least 14 people are dead and 150 are missing in northern india after a section of a glacier in the himalyas fell into a river and triggered a huge flood. water burst open a dam and then ran through a valley where a huge rescue operation is in place. many of the missing and dead are thought to be workers from two hydro—power plants in the area. there's been heavy snow in the east and south—east of england. the met office says strong easterly winds will keep temperatures around freezing. an amber warning is in force until midday. tesco, asda and morrisons are among the major retailers calling for online stores like amazon to pay more tax once the pandemic has ended. the chief executives of 18 companies and groups have written to the chancellor, rishi sunak, asking for what they call a "more level playing field". amazon insists that it pays its tax and has created thousands ofjobs in the uk. we are going to catch up on the super

that in context that's more than any single nfl team. the biggest and most—watched spectacle in american sport came complete with a spectacular fighter plane fly—by. in his first season with tampa bay after a glittering 20—year spell with the new england patriots, brady threw three touchdown passes in the game to be named most valuable playerfor a record extending fifth time. just really proud of all the guys, proud of all the coaches, the effort we put in. we knew we were playing a great football team tonight and we got thejob done, so... you want to get this don't you have to get this far and we did it. england are building a big lead after bowling out india on the fourth morning of the first test in chennai. the home side were all out for 337 with this brilliant catch from ben stokes rounding the innings off. that meant england had a lead of over 200, and they chose not to enforce the follow on in the search of quick runs. but they had the worst possible start, losing rory burns first ball. they're now recovered to 58 for two — a lead of 299. after all the issues over travel and coronavirus quarantine protocols, the australian open is finally under way in melbourne with serena williams and naomi osaka among those already through to the second round. in the men's draw, reigning us open champion dominic thiem is also through after beating mikhail kukushkin. not such good news for britain's katie boulter though. she's been knocked out in herfirst round match. the opening weekend of the six nations concluded with wales beating ireland in a brutal encounter in cardiff. ireland were playing catch up from the start, after peter o'mahoney was red carded for this hit on wales' thomas francis. the first irish player ever to be red carded in the six nations. despite that the irish did lead at half—time but a try from george north and then this brilliant finish from louis rees—zammit made sure that wales, just about, sealed a narrow win. it's a long way back forjurgen klopp's side after a 4—1 defeat by manchester city leaves them them 10 points behind, and city have a game in hand too. goalkeeper allison gifted city two goals in a 4—1 defeat at

people, relatively small study, and i don't think it has been peer reviewed yet. average age of participants around 31. nevertheless every study like this deserves to be taken very seriously and that is what we are doing. you may have seen yesterday during a number of broadcast interviews, professor sarah gilbert was talking about this. one of the points you made is it does appear in this study, caveat it with the fact it is only one small study at the moment, has less effect potentially on tackling mild forms of the virus or a mild impact of the virus. but there was nothing she could point to that she said caused her to be concerned that it wouldn't be effective against severe forms of the illness, hospitalisation and death from the virus and actually thatis death from the virus and actually that is the key thing we are seeking to tackle here at this point. we need to save lives, prevent people getting this illness severely, and at the same time that will of course these are the numbers of people in our hospitals, therefore supporting the nhs in terms of what they are trying to do. the nhs in terms of what they are trying to do-_ trying to do. what do you say to eo - le

had after how do you reassure the person who has had that vaccine —— one has had astrazeneca? as prophetic gilbert said there is nothing that suggests that she has seen that this is not effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalisation and death. although this study is an important one and quite rightly we will look at it carefully, through the past year and i have been on your programme throughout this pandemic i have always been cautious in saying the science will evolve, we will look at all the studies, but this is only one small study and, just as i have always said with positive news and studies, let's wait and see, see what the broader evidence is and i would say that here. the key takeaway from this is that there is nothing that suggests at the moment that it nothing that suggests at the moment thatitis nothing that suggests at the moment that it is not effective against serious or indeed fatal illness from this disease. serious or indeed fatal illness from this

interviews earlier this morning and he says this is at the very early stage in rolling out and there are two micro—reasons he has paused. he said it was only a very short—term temporary pause. waiting for more information. the second thing is the context is different. in this country the overwhelmingly dominant strain in terms of numbers is the historic version of this virus and to a large degree the kent variant whereas in south africa i think they are still doing the work to understand the south african variant which is the dominant one. the context is different.— variant which is the dominant one. the context is different. there were also, as the context is different. there were also. as people _ the context is different. there were also, as people will _ the context is different. there were also, as people will have _ the context is different. there were also, as people will have been - also, as people will have been seeing over the weekend, talk about working on the vaccine to deal with the south african variant. do you see a point where many people will have to have boosters in the autumn? it is what we do essentially with the flu vaccine every year. we have jabbed each year of that and although flu is far less serious and takes far fewer lives in an average year than this virus, the principle is the same. these viruses will seek to outwit us, seek and adapt to change it to try to survive what we have put in with the vaccine. every year with the flu vaccine we update it, look at new strains, look at what it has done and the vaccine is different to the previous year to catch those. what we are looking at already is that we approach this in the same way, that it would be normal, as we do with the flu vaccine, to update it, catch anything the virus has tried to do to outwit us to make sure we keep ahead of it. to outwit us to make sure we keep ahead of it— ahead of it. let's talk logistics. you have _ ahead of it. let's talk logistics. you have

vaccinators as well as other health staff involved, you have stadiums. how would you logistically do that? first of all, we have seen what we can do in this country in a very short space of time, and all credit to nadhim zahawi and kate been him. in a very short space of time we have done 12 million jabs, in a very short space of time we have done 12 millionjabs, a mammoth logistical effort. once we have got to that level where we have vaccinated our population, each year we do a huge number of flu jabs and it works through local pharmacies, gp surgeries. we are seeing new forms of the vaccine, as well, that lend themselves to being more easily administered, they don't necessarily have to be kept at the very cold temperatures, they are much easier to store and administer. as we go forward we will see that which will ease logistical challenges and make this a normal part of our autumn ritual and routine, as we do with the flu jab. ritual and routine, as we do with the flu jab-—

theirjudgment on which groups are most at risk beyond this first phase from dying from serious illness. that has to be the key consideration in the next group importantly is to learn more about transmission and to the extent to which vaccine can prevent transmission and notjust the seriousness of illness. that is another fact they will want to look at but i will not pre—empt the science. quite rightly these are the people who understand how the science works and it is right that they make recommendations based on science to the secretary of state. schools, there were reports that the committee is thinking about extending school holidays in england —— back of the government is thinking about. extending into the summer, is that the case? i thinking about. extending into the summer,

looking at everything he can do to make sure that kids and young people's education are not disrupted any more than they already have been. it is really important. we have seen in some reports in your programme some of the studies that have been done the impact that is not being in school can have on children, notjust on their learning and education but also on their mental health and social relationships. it is quite right that gavin is looking at a whole range of things to see how we can make sure that the impact on them is minimised but it would be premature for me to comment on what

he was that day, we are still a little bit away from that. one of the things he has been clear about is just how important he sees getting kids back to school as being, that is one of the first things he wants to do when it is safe to start easing restrictions. i will not go further than that but thatis will not go further than that but that is what the prime minister has already said. that is what

morning, everyone. a lot of snow around. this is a lying snow, hasn't fallen overnight, for example in aberdeenshire, a few days of falling. in the highlands, 15. andrew field is in essex. there is a lot of snow around and the met office has a further cue amber weather warning is out for more snow today across east anglia and kent. this is a valid until midday. this one across the north midlands, lincolnshire and south yorkshire is valid 2pm. and amber weather warning means increased likelihood of disruption due to severe weather, and include things like transport disruption, power cuts, some local communities in some parts of the country can also be cut off, for example. this note radio shows where we have had the snow falling during the course of the night. more substantial snow where we have the weather winning in the south—east, but you can see a lot of snow showers, as well. the very nature of the showers means we will not all see them. however we are expecting some lines of showers to form today across parts of north—east scotland, north—east england, heading down where we have the amber weather warning across parts of lincolnshire and the midlands. we have also got gusty winds, particularly along the coast of east anglia and kent. the showers coming in from the north sea by blowing a bit further west and although generally, west is best and drier. temperatures from freezing to three. when you add on the wind—chill it will feel bitter wherever you are. we are looking at -4 wherever you are. we are looking at —4 in aberdeen, it will feel more like —7 in norwich. plus you have the snow, as well, so some tricky conditions to contend with today. it is the beast from the east. low temperatures for much of this week. as we head on overnight, wintry showers, snow showers, some still forming in banks. keeping a particularly close eye on what is happening in the central lowlands because we could see again some significant snow. as much as five to ten centimetres in places, locally perhaps more. the risk of ice and the chance we could see frost here and there. towards the south—west, through the course of tomorrow, we have a new area of low pressure approaching, it will be windy through the english channel, around the channel islands and the south—west and there is potential for rain coming in with also the potential for some for rain

hopefully we will vaccinate around 400 people today and that is minimal because obviously we are rolling this out to the public today. once this out to the public today. once this vaccination centre gets fully up this vaccination centre gets fully up and running in the latter stages of this week, i think we will be vaccinating 9000 people per week, and for the city of leeds it is great, a step in the right direction. hopefully we can see some light at the end of the tunnel. brute light at the end of the tunnel. we mentioned you play for leeds united women. what is the last 12 months like that

study suggested it was less effective against the milder symptoms of the south african strain. vaccines minister nadhim zahawi said the jab remains a vital part of our fight against covid, and that it may be updated to block new mutations. he made the comments as more vaccine centres are opened across england. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. morning to you. adam,

then ran through a valley where a huge rescue operation is in place. our correspondent paul hawkins has the details. these are the lucky ones. at least a dozen men rescued by the emergency workers. they were found trapped in this tunnel. their survival scarcely believable after the power of the water which destroyed everything in its way. this dramatic footage shows when the nanda devi glacier in the himalayas burst on sunday morning. as water gushed down the valley, damage and destruction. translation: about 50-100 people were running for their lives, - but couldn't be saved, and they were engulfed by the river. the situation here is still dangerous. people are leaving their homes and are fleeing towards the forest. with floodwaters rising and roads and homes destroyed, an urgent rescue operation is under way. hundreds of members of the indian military and disaster response units have been deployed to the area. translation: approximately 125 people could be missing - as per the estimates, but it could rise because the power company is unable to give the exact figures. everyone is busy in the rescue operations. prime minister narendra modi is monitoring the situation. but many have died or are still missing. power plants were also hit. many remain unaccounted for. cheering. but moments like these keep hope alive. they keep the emergency workers digging. paul hawkins,

further snow showers and the return of overnight frost. the met office has two amber weather warnings, not just one. we have got the one across east anglia and kent. and we have another one across the north midlands, lincolnshire and also south yorkshire. they all mean increased disruption is likely due to severe weather. and in this case they are looking at heavy snow. this is what has been happening through the course of the early hours of today. there has been a plethora of snow showers. we have seen some heavier snow in the south—east and east anglia, where we do have an amber weather warning from the met office. it is valid until midday, the one in the midlands, and altered through parts of lincolnshire and south yorkshire, that is valid until two o'clock. there are a snow showers. not all of us will see them. some of them will go towards them. some of them will go towards the west. that is because there are gusty winds in the forecast today, particularly on the coast of east anglia and kent. they are blowing those showers for the west. generally speaking, west is best in terms of dry and sunny conditions. these are the temperatures today on the thermometer. freezing to plus three. but when you add on the strength of the wind, the wind chill will make it feel more like —4 in aberdeen, —5 in newcastle and —7 in norwich. it is a day for wrapping up warmly. it really is. thank you. we're starting the week with more impressive vaccine roll—out figures — the number of people given theirfirstjab has now hit 12 million. however, take—up within black and asian communities remains lower. gp dr nighat arif — a regularface here on breakfast — has been investigating that reluctance. hello, hi, come on in. my name is dr nighat arif. a gp in buckinghamshire. you might have seen me on bbc breakfast. i am one of the resident doctors. i am today here in chesham in one of our vaccination hubs. we are going to try to get as many people to the door as possible. got any questions you would like to ask me? we've been vaccinating people at our community hub for weeks now. this is safe for anybody who is allergic to penicillin or any other medicines. you will not get a reaction from this at all. thank you. but there still is some hesitancy out there, some doubt, some questions, and well done. perfect. you don't feel anything. thank you so much. so when i got my vaccination done i really wanted to let my community know that it is safe, so i made some videos in my mother some of the comments left on my videos are absolutely awful. "this will cause infertility." that is absolutely not true. # this vaccine is haram." this vaccine is not haram. it's been approved by all faith leaders from all communities. "you are a sheep, and so therefore you are being brainwashed by the nhs." nobody is brainwashing anybody. hello. how are you? i'm good. so lovely to see you. thank you so much for setting up this hub. you are very welcome. so i know that we've had real difficulties trying to get some of the members of our community vaccinated, particularly our asian community. have you come across that putting up this local hub? a lot of the misinformation coming out is from things like social media. and i think what's happening is a lot of the younger generation are influencing their parents. we've had cases where parents were initially happy to come in, had a chat with their kids and the kids can have said, oh, i'm not so sure. hi, sophia. thank you so much. good afternoon, how are you? i'm good, thank you. so sophia, you are quite hesitant about having the covid—19 vaccine. can you tell me a little bit more about that? ijust put two and two together. sadly there are a lot of conspiracy theories and there's a lot of injustice regarding the facts that get spread around. and it's kind of hard at times and you do get sucked into it. and i was so focused looking at it from one angle, i didn't even realise there were other multiple facets to the story. if you have ongoing concerns, it is ok. please, please turn to the leaders of your community. please turn to your gp. listen to health care advice from the mainstream rather than the extremes of social media. ladies, i'm in awe of you guys and obviously my other bbc breakfast girlies. this is awesome. but it's notjust me dealing with the questions. we've had people who questioned how quickly did this get done? is it safe? are they going to genetically alter me by giving me this vaccine? i mean, we have had a whole lot of questions. and they been coming at you for a while now. what are your sort of on—the—ground experiences, rosemary? three cleaners came in to the surgery, all afro caribbean. and we said, "look," you know, "you work in the surgery. we've got these left over. would you like them?" and they all refused. they all said, "no, don't trust it. we don't think it'll work for us." what's so sad is that many of them are more at risk, as well. so it's doubly important that we somehow get them in and get them to trust the vaccine. the vaccine is the only way we're going to get on top of the virus and get our lives back to normal. are you ok with needles? are you worried about needles? we can't let even more lives be lost through misinformation, lies and myths. that reluctance to have the vaccine includes some members of nhs staff. dame donna kinnair is head of the royal college of nursing and joins us from east london. we should say thank you to the doctor for making the piece. lovely to have you on the programme. thank you for being with us. why do you think there is still some hesitancy around taking the vaccine? lernie think there is still some hesitancy around taking the vaccine? we have alwa s

rescue team is being treated for serious injuries he sustained on saturday, while trying to help a pair of campers in the area. one of them was from liverpool, nearly 100 miles away, and the other was from leicester, more than 180 miles away. they were each fined £200 by cumbria police for breaking lockdown rules. we can speak now to mike blakey from the lake district search and rescue association. thank you so much forjoining us. on behalf of everybody who has been rescued, a huge thank you for somebody like you —— work to you. good morning. thank you for letting mejoin you. i would like to

our aid. in the early hours of saturday morning we were called as a rescue team to one of the two campers who was experiencing chest pains. so for us in the middle of the night that as an emergency. one mountain rescue team were dispatched to that. en route to that casualty sadly, one of our colleagues, i believe just slipped, but the consequences were quite significant. he fell at least 150 metres or more almost vertical, and suffered multiple injuries, including facial and spinalfractures. i had the privilege of being able to speak to him by his into intensive care nurse last night. he remains positive. but the road to recovery is clearly going to be long. did the road to recovery is clearly going to be long.— the road to recovery is clearly going to be long. did it happen in the

but it was freezing rain. serious wind—chill. all of this is taking place in the dark. i guess, just a paint that picture further, because of covid restrictions we are attempting as rescue teams to use ppe to protect ourselves, but as soon as you are out in those conditions at the end of —— in the middle of the night a paper surgical facemask is useful —— useless. and a rescue like that, even for something as simple as chest pains, requires a large number of individuals anyway. as soon as you have got two casualties, a team member and of the original casualty, it becomes much more complex. i have done this for 25 years. flying from a rescue helicopter from the coast guard which travelled down from scotland. they had a tricky flight. they managed to get into us. they eventually winced our colleague out and away to hospital. a particularly tricky rescue but made so much worse by the fact that one of the casualties what one of our own. absolutely. there is a kind of clear message

two individuals should not have been there. they have been fined as a result. all the mountain rescue teams in the lake district, everybody in the wider uk, everybody who is a volunteer, everybody wants to do this. when i had the privilege to do this. when i had the privilege to see my friend and colleague in hospital before he was transferred to icu, one of the things he really wanted to know

store for us with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for a significantly cold week of weather. it's going to feel icy and there will be some more snow showers around at times. there is an amber met office weather warning in place, the second—highest level of alert, for snow today. within these lines of snow feeding in from the north sea, we're likely to see another 5—10 centimetres, but it will tend to be quite localised, so some places will see very little and it will tend to be a bit lighter the further west you are. some really strong gusty winds as well, particularly towards the east coast, gusting here up to 30—40 miles an hour. so it's very windy, feeling very cold, temperatures struggling to get above freezing, there will be significant wind chill so it will feel even colder than this. very icy surfaces, the snow showers continuing overnight tonight, temperatures dropping as low as —3, —4 celsius. the winds ever so slightly lighter tomorrow, should be a bit drier by wednesday. that's all from me for now. i'll be back in around half an hour. until then, here's dan and louise. i'll see you soon. have a very good morning. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with

industry which generates huge revenues, here in the uk and when they tour abroad. in fact live music contributed 1.3 billion pounds a year to the uk economy before the pandemic. it employs more than 30,000 people. when we left the eu we left freedom of movement behind. now uk citizens can only visit for 90 days out of every 180. those working on long tours — artists and crew — will need work permits. on top of that there are new rules on trucks, equipment, instruments and merchandise. it's going to be harder, and more expensive to hit the road. which is why some big names are calling on the government to negotiate a special deal. a petition signed by 300,000 people calling for a single work permit for touring musicians and crew valid for a year is going before politicians today. singer—songwriter ronan keating is backing it and joins us from central london. very good morning. lovely to see you next to your piano. they are nice to see you. a musicians passport. people will

notjust today and this morning but as we go through this morning but as we go through this week, as well. further snow showers and once again a return to some overnight frost. these are the kind of snow depths we currently have. it is not fresh snow necessarily. some of this is falling on top of already lying snow. in aberdeenshire 26 centimetres. man in kent, 15 centimetres. this morning because it is so cold there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. the met office has two whether one out, meaning an increase likelihood of disruption to travel, transport. you can find power cuts and in some places you can also find that communities can be cut off because of the amount of snow. overnight we have seen a lot of showers can be good. if you were disappointed not to see any it could be that very reason, they are showers, not everybody season. we have seen a lot coming in across east anglia and kent, where we have one of those amber weather warning. today we expect them to form lines and this is where we are likely to see the heaviest snow. eastern scotland, northern england, parts of the midlands, where we could see up to and ten centimetres. locally we can have as much as 15 centimetres. gusty wind, some of the show going over to the west, the strongest gust of winds around the coast of east anglia and kent. these are the temperatures you are likely to see on your thermometer. add on the wind—chill, it will feel cold. —4 in aberdeen, —7 in norwich. but it will be cold it's still as we go through the next day or so. tonight we continue with snow showers, one line we are particularly watching by those that slips out from the north—east of scotland towards the central belt. again, the potential for significant snow. it will be a cold night, as you can see. there is the risk of ice once again. as we had three tomorrow, we still have the risk of significant snow across the risk of significant snow across the central lowlands. snow showers coming in across england and wales, the wind not as strong across the south—eastern corner but it will be stronger across the english channel, the channel islands and the south—west. here we have a weather frontjust wading in, potentially bringing some rain but potentially could bring snow. these are at the temperatures, when this is how it will feel when you add on the strength of the way. —4, —5, brrrr sums it up. i survived opening up a little bit. want to be as windy, snow that falls won't be as far west but what you might find is more of it as a result when you are. —14, i told you it would get cold. this thing in one morning across parts of scotland, that could well be the temperature. especially on higher ground where we have lying snow already. if that happens it will be the coldest

despite being in a very strong position, england's hopes of building an unassailable lead on day four of the first test against india in chennai, have been halted by a spirited bowling display from the home side. after dismissing the home side out for 337, england were looking for quick runs to add to their lead of over 200, but lost rory burns to the first ball of the innings. and in the last few minutes, captain and in—form man joe root has been dismissed for 40, leaving england 119—5, a lead of 360. at the age of 43, tom brady has guided the tampa bay buccaneers to a 31—9 victory over the kansas city chiefs to extend his record for super bowl wins to seven. to put that in context that's more than any single nfl team. the biggest and most—watched spectacle in american sport came complete with a spectacular fighter plane fly—by. in his first season with tampa bay after a glittering 20—year spell with the new england patriots, brady threw three touchdown passes in the game to be named most valuable player for a record—extending fifth time. just really proud of all the guys, proud of all the coaches, the effort we put in. we knew we were playing a great football team tonight and we got thejob done, so... you want to get this far you have to get thejob done, and we did it. after all the issues over travel and coronavirus quarantine protocols, the australian open is finally under way in melbourne with serena williams and naomi osaka among those already through to the second round. in the men's draw, reigning us open champion dominic thiem is also through after beating mikhail kukushkin. not such good news for britain's katie boulter though. she's been knocked out in herfirst round match. it's a long way back for premier league champions liverpool in the title race after a 4—1 defeat by manchester city leaves them them 10 points behind, and city have a game in hand too. goalkeeper allison gifted city two goals in a 4—1 defeat at anfield — all the goals coming in the second half. phil foden fired in the fourth — and best goal of the game to leave pep guardiola's side in command at the top of the table. what an incredible performance from phil foden, great to see it. brilliant to see a young man doing well. the other good thing is he is being well looked after by his manager. pep guardiola held him back for a long time, said he wasn't ready

on any kind of road trip but at least we can still watch bradley walsh and his son barney getting up to all sorts of adventures on their itv travel series, breaking dad. they're travelling across europe in a camper van but — in time—honoured fashion — barney is finding plenty of ways to make the trip extra memorable for his dad. we love this in our house. let's see a clip from tonight's show.

adventures look quite tame compared to the epicjourney that frank rothwell has just made. we have been following him throughout. he spent the last eight weeks rowing 3000 miles on his own across the atlantic ocean. that would be an awesome achievement for anyone, but frank is 70 years old. breakfast has been following this challenge from the very start. before we speak to frank, have a look at this. i'd been looking for a challenge, something worthwhile doing, for ages. and i couldn't find anything that was actually difficult enough! i've been training, i've been doing 70 miles in two days, and you can't walk 70 miles in two days. so many exercises you've got to do, it's notjust your arms. look at that beauty. because all the time, the boat is going backwards and forwards and you've got to be able to... so your back is as important, your core is as important as your arms. size of those guns, frank, they are very dangerous, put them away. you are raising money for a fantastic cause, aren't you? we can see it on the side of your vessel there. tell us a bit about why you chose an alzheimer's research. i have more friends and people i know who are affected by alzheimer's than anything else. the biggest challenge is going to be missing my wife. we've been married 50 years, we were childhood sweethearts. we got married as teenagers. she's a lovely lady, lovely companion, and she's my best mate! cheering. 70 years old! and frank and judith join us now live from antigua. sought your shirt! did you miss him, judith? congratulations, _ sought your shirt! did you miss him,

headlines. the vaccines minister says the public should have confidence in the uk's covid vaccine programme despite early evidence suggesting the oxford jab doesn't do much to prevent mild or moderate disease when it comes to the south africa variant of the virus. it's still something we quite rightly have got to keep very close eye on, hence that surge testing to track down those cases of it and make sure those who have this variant self—isolate and thereby don't transmit it further. meanwhile, the vaccine rollout continues. about one million people were given a first dose over the weekend, taking the overall total to more than 12 million. heavy snow hits large parts of the country, and more is on its way.
