some parts of the country as storm darcy blows in. and a new lock down pastime which means you can exercise and stay away from crowds, night walking. and coming up on sportsday later in the hour and on bbc news, england are top in india, nine wickets required to win the first test, but have they left themselves enough time in chennai? this is good evening and welcome to bbc news at six. the government says the most immediate coronavirus threat facing the uk is still the variant first identified in kent rather than the new one from south africa, which they do not expect to become dominant in the next few months. health officials say the vaccine is being given widely at the moment which are effective against the kent variant, less so against the kent variant, less so against the south african strain, but the jabs are still expected to prevent serious illness or death. from today everyone over 70 in england who has not already had the jab should contact the nhs. meanwhile targeted surge testing is being stepped up to trace any new variants on the spot doorstep test, home testing and mobile testing units being deployed to eight areas of england or anyone aged 16 and over. these locations include several places in london such as parts of ealing, pollard hill and tottenham hale, outside london, surge testing taking place in walsall in the west midlands, in worcestershire, in broxbourne, and in a ward near saturn. various postcodes in south gloucestershire and bristol have also started mass testing programmes —— near sefton. fergus most reports. despite some worrying headlines about the south african variant, public enthusiasm for vaccination remains strong. this centre at elland road, home of leeds united football club, started mass immunisation today. joshua is

to tackle them. david shulkin has more. around the world, there is now a race between the virus in the vaccines, between the threat of you variance, and efforts to stay ahead of them, and the outcome matters to us all. whilst a first wave of countries including the uk should see the majority of their population is vaccinated this year, others won't reach that stage until next year, and many will have to wait for the year after or even longer. to wait for the year after or even loner. , , ., to wait for the year after or even loner. , ,., ., to wait for the year after or even loner. , ,., ,

random genetic mistakes. mutations that are usually unimportant, but some might prove dangerous. the first task is to track these changes, and that is done by studying the genetic code of the virus. since december 2019, when it was first confirmed in wuhan, scientists have monitored what effectively is a family tree, with hundreds of different branches. each of these lines represents one of many different variants that has emerged over the course of the past year. it is only by doing this genetic research, that we can spot the variants that are worrying, in the variants that are worrying, in the uk, braziland the variants that are worrying, in the uk, brazil and south africa. half a million british coronavirus samples are going through genetic screening so far. these machines are among

17700 and four new cases in the last week. across the uk 29,326 people are in hospital with coronavirus. another 333 deaths were reported, people who died within 28 days of a positive covid test. 0n people who died within 28 days of a positive covid test. on average in the past week, 891 deaths were announced every day. the total number of uk deaths is now 112,798. the latest on the vaccination

people who have had their firstjab to 12,294,006. fergus most joins me now. good news again today about the number of vaccinations and about the number of vaccinations and a change in advice for the over 70s. the roll—out of the vaccine has been a huge success. public support for the covid vaccine is immense. when i have spoken to people who have just had theirjab there is a genuine sense of relief and enthusiasm, that they are starting to get protection although it takes several weeks for that to build. that is reflected in take—up figures which far exceed anything the government thought was possible. 91% of the over 80s have had their first dose, 95% of those aged 70—79. reassuring also on the south african variant. no evidence that it south african variant. no evidence thatitis south african variant. no evidence that it is going to displace the current dominant strain, the kent variant. it is very important that the pfizer and astrazeneca vaccines work well against the

later this this month. how can children catch up after all of the school they have missed over the past year? are education editor has been speaking to sir kevin connors, who has been advising the prime minister on a recovery plan. at home in leicester, nadhim is trying not to fall beind. gcses are looming next year. research today shows pupils in years ten and 11 have lost most confidence. nadhim has tutoring, paid for by government catch up funds. i am a bit worried, to be honest. because of lockdown and especially because i think that that just reduces my education, a bit, but because of tuition, that boosts my confidence up, that i might do, i will do good, if i carry on with this tuition. his dad says the short—term help is welcome, as far as it goes. it's very important, because if you are not confident, especially now, in an exam, in gcse, _ that will affect his morale. to help them catch up, nothing is yet ruled out. longer days, shorter summer holidays. the prime minister has a new education catch up adviser. when he spoke to me, exclusively, he said decisions were needed soon. this is the time to listen, but to act quite quickly around things like summer and summer schools, for example, which i do think have promise. children's mental health has been one of the big concerns. do you think they are going to be able to step up and do extra hours of learning? i think we need to think about the extra hours, not only for learning, but, for children to be together, to play, to engage in competitive sport. for music, for drama. so far, the catch—up efforts have focused on this year and next. but the effects of this pandemic could flow through schools for many years to come, from the youngest children who have missed out on development, to those who've lost confidence and interest in learning, leading some to call for a much bigger, bolder vision, covering the next 5—10 years. asking teachers to work more hours would not be popular, and would face union pushback. schools want a say in deciding what works. to have that added on, to have any extra is being forced onto the school, rather than us choosing what we want, and the things we think would help our particular cohort, would not be helpful, and actually, being able to give students a sort of suite of activities and a suite of different ideas that they could do. teachers have got used to live—streaming lessons, but it's when everyone's back in the classroom that the real journey to catch up can begin. branwen jefferies, bbc news. the online retailer, boohoo, has promised to turn burton, dorothy perkins and wallis into brands "fit for the current market environment" after buying them in a £25 million deal. the shops had been part of sir philip green's arcadia group, which collapsed last year. the deal includes the brands and online businesses, but not the 214 shops — nor the almost 2,500 workers employed in them. it's an inquiry that ultimately could threaten the position of the most powerful person in scottish politics, first minister nicola sturgeon. it's examining the scottish government's handling of allegations of harassment against the former first minister alex salmond and has laid bare divisions between the former party leader and his protege. alex salmond has accused nicola sturgeon of misleading the scottish parliament and now has refused to give evidence to the inquiry. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith reports. alex salmond was jubilant two years ago when he proved in court the procedure used to investigate allegations of sexual harassment against him was unlawful. a holyrood committee is investigating how the scottish government got it so wrong. as salmond wants to tell his side of the story, but will not appear before the

because of the way they were packaged. sterile surgical gowns were bought from a us firm for 70 million pounds last year but safety concerns were raised because they weren't double wrapped. lucy manning has the story remember an american jewelry company whose owner won lucrative contracts to supply ppe to the uk, michael saiger was able to pay a go—between, spanish businessmen gabriel anderson, £21 million to help. it caused a storm when the bbc revealed it in november. does the prime minister think that £21 million to a middle man was an acceptable use of taxpayers' money? saiger went on to win a further £70 million contract to supply gowns. now, we can reveal few of those gowns actually made it into hospitals. in a legal document, the government admitted that the use of the gowns in hospitals had been suspended. hospital infection experts believe the gowns should be double wrapped, to make sure they were sterile, but these gowns only came with a single layer of packaging. another big contract for ppe that couldn't be used as intended. the lessons are, government, when spending £12.5 billion on ppe, really itself needs to know what it is buying. it should be buying from those who are experienced. it needs to be keeping a careful check on the prices it is paying. there was no actual requirement in specifications or contract for the gowns to be double wrapped, but obviously experts didn't think they would be safe enough in the most infectious parts of hospitals. saiger said... remember pestfix, the small firm officials admitted last year had mistakenly got onto the fast track vip scheme for government co ntra cts ? they supplied some of the most vital kit, the highest grade masks, ffp3s, and unlike masks currently used in the most infectious areas, the bbc can reveal 73 million of the pestfix masks couldn't be used as intended, because they failed testing. they had ear loops, which the government says now shouldn't be used. pestfix then submitted a small number of prototypes as potential alternatives. internal documents from the safety watchdog seen by the bbc say head straps on several samples snapped, and nosebands fell off on nearly all samples from the first batch. pestfix said... the department of health said it had worked tirelessly to deliver ppe to protect health and social care staff on the front line, with over 7.6 billion items delivered so far. there was a scramble for ppe. but, in its rush to get it, did the government take enough care over the way it spent taxpayers' money? lucy manning, bbc

dark have come to life. the night walk, in which people can get a breath of fresh air and avoid crowds, has become a ritualfor millions. the advice is to stay close to home, wear something bright and of course, keep your distance. david sillito hasjoined some of the keen walkers who have been reclaiming the night. see you later. it has, for many of us, become a lockdown ritual, as darkness descends, instead of settling down, it's the moment to head out. short winter days often mean the only time we can escape to exercise is after dark. caroline, i'm guessing. hello. caroline whiteman is a passionate nightwalker. my hearing becomes more sensitive. my sense of smell is more acute. and you can really appreciate the air on yourface. in a way that, during daylight hours, these things go unnoticed. the short winter days and lockdown, walking and running in the dark has, for many of us, become a daily ritual. when things do eventually return to normal, maybe you will remember all of this as just a fleeting phenomenon, but it is already starting to make people think. so, it is much busier in the streets than normal. it certainly is. i joined a professor whose specialism is how life is changing in towns and cities. do you think there will be a positive benefit? i think it will change people's perceptions of safety in their own city. they will realise that perhaps it is not as unsafe as they had to thought. here, we have somebody else with a light that is coming along. we are not alone. this is proof that we are not alone. thoughts also shared by caroline, who feels that this is a freedom we should consider more. does this fly in the face of advice, especially for women, about not going out walking at night? i agree, and i would challenge that, and say that everybody should be entitled to have this experience of having an adventure by night and that shouldn'tjust be the preserve of men. we have been conditioned, as women, to believe we have no place out in the night, and yet, when you can create a place of safety for yourself whilst night walking, it builds confidence. it is different, neighbourhood to neighbourhood, but for some of us, lockdown has made the dark a little less forbidding. david sillitoe, bbc news, sleaford. time for a look at the weather here's tomasz schafernaker. it is very cold and getting colder. yes, you are absolutely right and the cold is here to stay, quite possibly for quite a while. that's a beer wind—chill is going to continue and those easterly winds and further snow showers and heart overnight frost. you can see where the weather is coming from, it is coming from the east, the snow showers blowing across the north sea, affecting parts of the country. 0ut towards the west there is some clear weather, but the snow streamers, these lines, continue overnight with some areas getting snow and other areas a few floats of snow carried in on the breeze. when the winds are strong the temperatures do not drop away so much during the night. but here is the forecast for tomorrow, further snow showers. but a little at atlantic front sneaks into the cold air, bringing sleet and snow to parts of cornwall, may be the channel islands. there could even be a blizzard there with strong winds, believe it or not. the gusts of wind tomorrow generally 30—40 miles an hour. with temperatures around zero during the course of the day it will feel more like minus six degrees, the equivalent temperature of how fast you lose heat on bare skin on your hands and face. the forecast for wednesday and again snow showers continue, but lots of clear, crisp weather. temperatures might nudge up briefly to 2 degrees for an hour or so, but generally speaking it will be around freezing or below. this is the atmosphere on wednesday and the jet stream is displaced way to the south. it should be somewhere around here, it is about 1000 miles further south, deflecting the mild air into the mediterranean, so the cold air is to the north of us and it looks like that beastly air stream will continue from scandinavia and parts of eastern europe into the uk. mild air is trying to sneak in towards the end of the week
