the uk's first football hate crime police officer says prosecution is the only option now. referee mike dean asks not to be involved in a premier league match this weekend, after death threats to his family. i get to wear hi—viz and be very bossy and go, "oi!" no, just to welcome people, as i'm about to do. good morning, sir, welcome. from lord of the manor to vaccine centre volunteer — downton star hugh bonneville on his new role on the covid frontline. good morning. at the moment there is currently 60 centimetres of lying snow in braemar. further snow showers in the fog yesterday, not all of us seeing them, still gusty winds with a significant wind chill, so feeling bitter but i will have all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 9th of february. our top story. all travellers entering the uk will be tested for coronavirus after they arrive — under plans which are set to be announced shortly. they'll still have to provide a negative covid test before they travel — and either self—isolate or quarantine on arrival, depending where they have come from. 0ur reporter charlotte wright has more details on this, and all the latest developments in the fight against the virus. just some of the millions who have now been vaccinated against covid—i9. but while these people were told to wait to be called up — now, in england, those over 70 who haven't yet been given an appointment are being urged to contact the nhs themselves online, or by calling 119. my advice to you is very simple — do not delay, have the vaccine that will protect you against the current threat. and don't worry, you can be re—vaccinated. it follows concerns about the performance of the 0xford—astrazeneca vaccine, after a small study found it gave minimal protection against mild disease from the south africa variant. but scientists say that shouldn't deter people from getting a jab in the uk, where the dominant strain of the virus is different. i don't think it's an immediate concern and every bit of immunity to this virus that you can accumulate is a good thing because it will, in all likelihood, reduce the severity of disease if you do catch this virus — even if it is from one of the the overseas strains or a strain which has acquired some resistance. but the virus is changing here, too. extra community testing — known as surge testing — will start in parts of south manchester today after a mutation of the kent variant was discovered in four people in two separate households. experts say it's to be expected. in itself, we're not particularly worried. we think, based on tests done in test tubes that the vaccine will still work — perhaps just not quite as well as previously, but still good enough to protect people from severe disease that means going into hospital, and from dying. meanwhile, it's been announced that all passengers arriving in the uk will now be required to take a covid test during their isolation — measures, the department of health says, will provide a further level of protection for the country, and another sign that the pandemic�*s journey is far from over. charlotte wright, bbc news. as always, we'll bring you more information and analysis of these issues throughout the show — including our medical editor fergus walsh answering your questions at 8.30. send some more in if you would like to. campaigners say care homes in england must be helped to re—open to visitors by march. age uk is among six organisations asking for the return of what they call meaningful indoor visits — as many residents have now spent almost a year in isolation. the impeachment trial of donald trump starts in the us senate today. he's charged with inciting a mob of his supporters to attack the capitol building last month. his lawyers have said mr trump will not testify — and that he did not spark the violence. 0ur washington correspondent barbara plett usher reports. for the first time in modern history, america's peaceful transfer of power was shaken. the capitol stormed by armed supporters of the president to stop congress from declaring his election defeat. the ragged insurrectionjolted lawmakers into action. members of the lower chamber — including some republicans — charged donald trump with inciting the riot. we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. president trump used fiery language that day — his lawyers say he was simply exercising his right to free speech. we're going to walk down to the capitol! cheering. but democrats plan to use his own words against him. take the capitol! they say the evidence is all out there — live streamed and live tweeted. fight for trump! and they will present it in vivid colour for the nation to see. no—one will be able to avert their gaze from what mr trump said and did, and the consequences of his actions. # america... five people died during the riot. here, a memorial service for a capitol police officer who was killed. and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle feared for their lives. and then ijust start to hear these yells of, "where is she? where is she? " like hell, i'm going to let a bunch of domestic terrorists interfere i with ourjob to protect - and defend the constitution. do you solemnly swear... it looks almost certain, though, that senate republicans won't vote to convict. 0n the day they were sworn in as jurors, most of them backed mr trump, calling the trial unconstitutional. democrats are wasting the nation's time on a partisan vendetta against a man no longer in office. the man may have left the white house, but he's still a power broker in the party, with a tight grip on the grass roots. and he's not coming back here to testify — to this fortress capitol, still under heavy guard to protect members of congress. republicans are clearly eager to turn this unhappy page and move on, but democrats are determined to hold donald trump to account — for the history books, if nothing else. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. police in myanmar have fired water cannon on protesters who have taken to the streets for a fourth consecutive day of demonstrations. they're calling for the restoration of democracy after the military seized power last week — and arrested many leading democratic politicians. the military has banned gatherings of more than five people. a mission to mars is due to orbit the red planet later today. the hope spacecraft still has one of the most dangerous parts of its journey ahead — when it needs to brake forjust the right amount of time to avoid crashing into mars, or missing altogether. sounds pretty important, doesn't it? our global science correspondent rebecca morelle has more. a first for the united arab emirates. this was the moment last summer when it sent its spacecraft to mars. now it's almost reached its destination, but the probe, called hope, has a critical manoeuvre ahead — getting into orbit. it needs to approach mars atjust the right speed and angle. if anything goes wrong, the entire mission will be lost. the spacecraft will study the atmosphere to solve a big mystery of how mars transformed from a planet with water, like earth, to the dry, dusty world it is today. until now, the uae has only sent satellites into earth orbit. arriving at the red planet will be a huge leap. to know that there is a spacecraft that has gone from this region further than any man—made object has ever gone, that is hurtling towards a small pink dot that you also see in the sky, i can't describe the feeling or the thought process, but i never thought that this was possible. the spacecraft has one shot to get into orbit. if it succeeds, history will be made, firmly establishing the united arab emirates as a new space power. rebecca morelle, bbc news. we will be talking about that little bit later breakfast. if you think it's cold here, spare a thought for canadians — some of whom have seen temperatures of between minus 35 and minus 50 degrees celsius over the past few nights. it has however made this possible. this is boiling water turning instantly to ice crystals when thrown into the air under such extreme temperatures. look at it! it has to be at around minus 42 celsius or lower for this rather beautiful effect to be possible. no point trying it at home and it's probably quite dangerous. that no point trying it at home and it's probably quite dangerous.- probably quite dangerous. that is beautiful. beautiful. _ probably quite dangerous. that is beautiful. beautiful. i— probably quite dangerous. that is beautiful. beautiful. i bet- probably quite dangerous. that is beautiful. beautiful. i bet your. beautiful. beautiful. i bet your e es beautiful. beautiful. i bet your eyes freeze — beautiful. beautiful. i bet your eyes freeze up _ beautiful. beautiful. i bet your eyes freeze up a _ beautiful. beautiful. i bet your eyes freeze up a little. -

there was a time — before the pandemic — when police officers would only be called to a house party in the event of a crime. usually that would be violent disorder or rowdy behaviour. now, of course, throwing or attending a party for multiple households is a crime in itself — and the police are breaking them up every day. 0ur reporter connor gillies spent a night on patrol with officers in glasgow to find out more. yeah, that's the first call of the evening — a noisy party. friday night, on the road and on patrol — tackling those partying in the pandemic. behind the door is an illegal gathering. six fines are issued to young people frustrated and in search of fun. you realise you're breaking the rules? do you realise the risks? you're obviously not wearing a mask. i'm assuming there's no social distancing in the flat. do you care? and someone watching this whose family member has died and they can't see their family at all, and you guys are breaking the rules. next, there's word of a big party in here. inside — 30th birthday celebrations. 15 people fined, the property owner charged. it took a while for the officers to be permitted entry into the house. and there were several people in different rooms. they explained why they were there — there was a clear disregard for the coronavirus legislation. the householder will now be reported to the procurator fiscal for facilitating that birthday party. it's now two o'clock in the morning and, usually, the pubs and clubs would be spilling out onto the streets — but this pandemic very much continues. and while the majority of us are following the rules, tonight's policing operation shows there's a stubborn minority of people who simply don't care — putting both the public and police at risk. increasingly, these parties are being held in rented accommodation booked online, with officers been beaten, abused and punched. ——accommodation booked online, with officers been bitten, abused and punched. every corner of the country, every day of the week, every weekend of the year. in fact, i think — with the exception of christmas day — there has not been one single day since the restrictions on house parties came in that the police have not been called to attend them. those on the front line, it seems, remain exposed, exasperated and exhausted. connor gillies, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers. the telegraph is among several papers which quote england's deputy chief medical officer, jonathan van—tam, who has said the south african variant is unlikely to become dominant here. the guardian says an announcement about further restrictions on travellers arriving into the uk is expected this week. as we've been hearing, all arrivals could be tested for coronavirus on days two and eight of their isolation — regardless of where they have come from. "time to call the shots" is the daily�*s mirror's headline. it says the government in england is urging any over—70s who have not had their covid jab to book one urgently. the newspaper adds that a booster jab to fight variants may be available by autumn. and many papers and websites feature snowy scenes as the 'beast from the east�* works its way across the uk. the scottish sun reports that snow warnings could be in place until thursday. shall we look at the inside pages? you are not alone with the ice cream eating, eating it in the snow.- eating, eating it in the snow. good. the daily

impact the pandemic is having on every house up and down the countries, jobs lost and down the countries, jobs lost and businesses have been affected. and today we are focusing on the impact particularly on women and of course we know there are inequalities in the workplace with women, we take the bulk of labour when it comes to childcare and insecurejobs. when the when it comes to childcare and insecure jobs. when the economy takes a hit is women who suffer more, notjust economically but their mental physical health. mps have been looking at is it detail and there is a report out later by a cross group director —— has quite a group of mps. we will be hearing some of their stories in a minute but here is what the report found. so, furlough — the government scheme to support workers jobs and salaries. the report found that women are more likely to be employed on insecure contracts — as a result, less likely to have their incomes topped up to 100% by their employer. it's estimated that close to two million people are out of work. and this report indicates that women are a third more likely to work in sectors like retail and hospitality, which have been hardest hit by the lockdowns. and research shows that women spend two thirds more time on childcare than men. with schools closing, that means their work is much more likely to be compromised and even lost. before covid — and the government says hopefully after — there are big plans to create jobs in construction, science, technology and engineering. these are industries where women are under—represented and the report says the government needs to change that. so what is life like for the women behind these stats? alex forsyth has been speaking to some of them to find out. well, i've got the brunt of everything, really, trying to earn a living and to home—school my son. i'd found a job that was perfect for me and my family, and then it was just taken away from me by this pandemic. a lot of companies are looking . for new people, but the problem is that they're not very flexible. for each of these women the pandemic�*s come with a particular cost — jobs lost, childcare struggles, businesses paused. now, a group of mps is warning many women have been hard hit by the economic impact of this virus. and the risk is it makes inequality worse. take sharon. she recently set up an ethical clothing business from home and runs a charity, the luka foundation, in memory of her stillborn son. but with her husband working full—time, she's borne the brunt of home—schooling, with her work taking a back seat. so this time around, my husband is not furloughed. i've had barely any time to focus on my business or the charity. i know a lot of mums who work from home, who have their own small businesses like myself, and all of them are saying that they've been affected by home—schooling and they really don't have the time now to to put in the energy to earn a living for their small business. many sectors have been hard hit, but there's evidence that women are more likely to work in industries like hospitality and retail, which has seen closure after closure pile up. joanne had a job in a hotel, an idealfit around herfamily. but she was made redundant last year and hasn't been able to find work since. i was devastated, because i'd not been there long, but i'd found a job that was perfect for me and my family, somewhere where i fitted in. i don't want to do anything else. hospitality's what i know and what i'm good at, so. our plan, to build, build, build... ministers have promised huge investment in rebuilding the economy, creating jobs on top of billions already spent protecting them. but critics say there's too much focus on hard hats and hi—vis, male—dominated sectors. with more people working from home, the government says it does want to harness the cultural shift covid has prompted, with parents sharing caring roles, and more flexibility from employers. for single mum claire, that flexibility is key. she's struggled with childcare through the pandemic, and having recently been made redundant, she's finding it hard to get a job that fits around her daughter's needs. employers need to really think about the choices they're making, and i think the government need to also proactively change that, too. so, things like flexible work need to be a right for everybody, and remote working should be a part of that, too. so much about the way we work has changed. the government has had to scramble to put in place support schemes, which have largely been welcomed. but mps say there must be more focus on support for women, or gender equality could go backwards. alex forsyth, bbc news. in response to this, the government told us they've done whatever it takes to protect lives and livelihoods. they pointed to the self—employment scheme which they say has protected work for 1.7 million women. they also said they want to try for greater flexible working which could mean parents more equally sharing care work. this could be one of the legacies of this, the report recommending that flexible working is notjust encouraged and normalised but it actually detected by legislation, so that could be a positive outcome. we love to hear from our that could be a positive outcome. we love to hearfrom our audience on this because they will of course be men who have had to compromise their careers because of covid. thahk men who have had to compromise their careers because of covid.— still to come on today's breakfast... we'll bring you more details on that space probe which should be orbiting mars at around 4pm today. space expert maggie lieu will be telling us why misson hope — which is staffed mainly by women — is so important. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. croydon council has voted through plans to hold its own referendum in october, over whether the borough should have a directly elected mayor. it comes just months after the local authority took drastic action to stop most of its spending, due to the state of its finances. last night's decision follows a petition from local campaigners. it's estimated the referendum will cost over half a million pounds. many thousands of people have lost theirjobs during the pandemic, with some now doing work they'd never considered before. like matthew, who spent years in the aviation industry before losing his job five months ago. but he says he considers himself lucky as he's now a shop worker in a supermarket. he's been telling us about his experience. it was a shock to the system. you know, spending the past 15 years building up a career, to then having to go to a new industry and to start at the bottom of the pecking order. it... it has been hard. utilising this time off, i've been able to re—evaluate my life and to look at things in a different perspective. so, going back, i don't think i will be so much involved with the rat race. a house described as probably the skinniest house in london is on the market forjust under a million pounds. the two—bedroom property on goldhawk road near shepherd's bush in west london measures just less than six feet wide, and is spread over five floors. the estate agent says, "if you like the traditional, this is not for you — but if you like the quirky, come and see the home." it costs £950,000. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are fewer trains than normal on the 0verground due to staff shortages. it's causing severe delays — not helped by a signal failure too. now the weather with elizabeth. good morning. it's another bitterly cold start to the day across the capital, with temperatures a good few degrees below freezing. some very icy conditions out there on the roads and the pavements today, and there's still a met office warning in place for snow, valid until midnight on wednesday. we're expecting these lines of snow showers to continue to track in from the east, and underneath these lines of showers there could be another few centimetres of snowfall on top of what we've already got. some places will stay relatively dry, and the snowfall will tend to be a bit lighter the further west you are, across those western home counties, of course. the winds are a touch lighter than they were yesterday, but still brisk, still very chilly, plenty of wind chill to factor into these temperatures, which will struggle once more to get above freezing. but some brighter spells, i think, for many of us as we head through the afternoon. now overnight tonight, again it's going to be a very cold one. the showers will continue, lows of minus four, minus five degrees celsius, perhaps. but wednesday is looking drier, with lighter winds. it will stay cold for the rest of the week. todayis today is safer internet day. vanessa feltz will speak to a specialist in half—an—hour. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning: we'll speak to the owners of this gorgeous girl — neesha the golden retriever — who went missing for two weeks in ireland's wicklow mountains, before hitching a lift home with passing hikers. we'll be helping you to doodle your way out of lockdown boredom, courtesy of the online artist rob biddulph, also known as "draw with rob". and the racing driver billy monger is no stranger to tough challenges — so he's taking on a new one for comic relief. he'll be telling us all about it after nine o'clock. the actor hugh bonneville has won millions of fans for his roles in hits like downton abbey and the paddington films. his latest role might just win him a few more, but it has nothing to do with stage or screen. hugh has joined the small army of vaccine volunteers who are helping to roll out covid jabs, and he kindly let us see him in action. morning. good morning, good morning. lovely to see you. welcome. well done. table for one? thanks for bringing the sunshine. i could do valet parking now, i reckon. i get to wear a hi—vis and be very bossy, and go, "oi!" no, just to welcome people, as i'm about to do. good morning, sir. welcome. so, it's, eh, just about 7:30, and we are about to enter where the midhurst pharmacy has set up its vaccination hub. first thing of the day is sign in. your badge is up there. here we are backstage. oh, it takes me back. these have all been sort of disinfected since the last shift. there we are. welcome, welcome, welcome. so, week two. week one went really, really well. there's about 80 willing volunteers on the rota. let's see, only a fraction of those have been used. but the capacity is there. everybody is gearing up. ah, morning. nice to see you. welcome, welcome. we'll be with you in a few minutes. for some people, it's the first time they've been out of their house in... ..in, you know, a year. you know, we've had people who've really been grateful for the outing as much as anything, and the sense of a glimmer of hope. so, it's great to be part of this team effort. the job for the marshall is, eh, you know, we're the sort of customer facing. so, there's a lot of apprehension and nervousness around the elderly community. they haven't socialised for a long time, some of them. so, actually, we're — for some for some of them we're the first point of contact. so, erm, so we give them a bit of fun and a bit of humourjust to relax them before they go into the hall, and they come out with a spring in their step. so it's brilliant. very helpful, very reassuring, yes. very efficient. the staff are fantastic. so, really good job. you say you haven't noticed it was him? no, too early in - the morning for that. he looks like a coal miner instead of an actor. - i like downton. i've got a selfie with him! yeah, you see, this helps. you get the odd, eh, you know, marmalade sandwich thrown at you. you can set up a thousand of these, but it's the volunteers, it's the people who work in there, that actually stand it up. without them, it wouldn't work at all. obviously it's best to keep it local. it's something that we want to put back into the community. a lot of people have been furloughed or they've been out of work. and this is such an uplifting thing to do. we wanted to keep it very local and let those people experience that. well done. success. it's tangible. you know, it's palpable, the sense of relief. well, it's not relief, because it's not over, but the sense of hope. and to be part of that is really lovely. yeah, of course it is. good morning. welcome. how are you? you bonneval one of many thousands of people who have volunteered. we'll be talking to someone from the royal voluntary service at ten to nine. someone else who has been helping to deliver vaccine jabs — although not with the help of any hollywood a—listers that we know of — is dr rosemary leonard. she's one of our regular breakfast gps, and joins us now to help shed more light on the many vaccine questions we all have. you haven't had hugh bonneville or anybody else

oxford study of the vaccine talked about, in terms of the tests, lots of people are worried about this. the south african variant was tested on 2000 people with an average age of 31. there is a lot of

chat to doctor rosemary. let's catch up with the sport. yes, starting with this man. jimmy anderson. i know you have been busy in the last few minutes. i don't know if you have noticed what he has done. he has put in the most incredible performance for england this morning. it's being described as one of the best overs in test cricket — james anderson taking two wickets in three balls, on the final day of england's first test against india in chennai. he's really put england on top in this match, making an impact as soon as he was given bowling duties, first sending shubman gill's stump flying. and then, removing ajinkya rahane in the same way with another fine delivery. he's since taken a third, leaving india 144—6 at lunch. they need 276 runs to win, and they only have four wickets remaining. no wonder he looked so pleased. there's been a good win for britain's heather watson at the australian open — she's beaten kristyna pliskova in two tie—break sets to reach the second round. and the two british men in the draw, dan evans and cameron norrie, have started their first—round match, and norrie broke serve early in the opening set — he leads 4—3. west ham's tomas soucek has condemned the death threats sent to mike dean, following his red card on saturday. dean has asked to be stood down from the next round of fixtures this weekend. the premier league chief executive richard masters says the abuse is inexcusable and has called for more intervention from social media companies. and the uk's first football hate crime officer says offenders must be prosecuted. really now we're at a stage where we need to be all coming together with the social media companies, collating that evidence and looking at prosecuting people. every circumstance, every incident, is very different, depending on what's been said or how it's been reported into us. however, we need to be looking at a proper prosecution route. it's the only way we can go now. it's been going on forfar too long. there's more talk of an england call—up for patrick bamford, after he scored his 100th goal, to help leeds move the top half of the premier league table. he scored their second in a 2—0 win over crystal palace. bamford has been in great form this season — he was watched by england manager gareth southgate last week. that was his 12th goal of this campaign. the fifth round of the fa cup gets underway tonight. manchester united, who beat liverpool in the last round, take on west ham at old trafford — a game which you can watch live on bbc one — with the reds still looking for their first trophy under manager 0le gunnar solskjaer. you want to go all the way and you want to lift the trophy. that's not be all, end all, of course it isn't. it's the bread and butter in the premier league that is also a measure of how good a team is. to get to a final, sometimes you're lucky with a draw. but to win a final, then everyone's — all the good teams have been beaten. so that's the next step for us in the development of this team. asi as i said, that match is on bbc one tonight. sally, thank you. shall we catch up on the weather? carroll has had a busy week. i get the feeling that when you are talking to us you are preparing what to say to us next. what is happening this morning. dashwood?_ what is happening this morning. dashwood? ., . ., , dashwood? good morning. we have seen

scotland under that amber we are looking at another five to ten centimetres on higher ground it could be double that. perhaps even a little bit more. the likelihood of destruction is also high. you could experience power cuts, for example. they will be some travel disruption to watch out for as well. that kind of thing. through the course of the night there has been a good rash of snow showers. some of them getting towards northern ireland. that process will continue for the rest of the day, particularly where we have the amber weather warning. it is valid until nine o'clock. but they are showers for the most of the rest of the uk. some of us will see them, some of us want to see anything. it would be a dry day with some sunshine. 0nce anything. it would be a dry day with some sunshine. once again it is going to be a windy day. strong gusts through the english channel and the southwest. the wind is coming from a cold direction, namely from the east. hence the beast from the east. that is introducing cold air. these are the temperatures you may see on your thermometer but it will feel colder than that when you add on the wind—chill. if you zoom down to the south—west, which is where the wind is strongest, look at this. it will feel more like —10 in some parts. not very warm either in the channel islands, it has to be set. it will feel like —8. we may well see some rain and some —— some snow in the channel islands and the isles of scilly. that could move away into the near continent. whichever way you look at it it will be a cold night. last night was the

the south of scotland. north—east england into kent. diet was the worst. still feeling cold. 0n worst. still feeling cold. on thursday, if anything, fewer snow showers. still one or two in the east.

teabags and clotted cream, because of post—brexit bureaucracy at the dover—calais border. the supply issue is affecting stores in gibraltar, france and belgium, which is where our europe correspondent

a day here trying to understand the problems they have been having. stonemanor, on the outskirts of brussels, hasn't had a single delivery of food from the uk in five weeks. they've been overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork needed to bring the products through customs in france, resulting in this. digestive biscuits are missing, popcorn is missing, walker's shortbread is missing, oat cakes are missing. various cheese and milk in the fridge. the fridges are empty, and we're even down to the last scone. there are two lorry loads of goods worth tens of thousands of pounds waiting in the uk. since britain left the eu, all this produce now needs separate customs codes, so it's clear for travel, covering everything from cakes to crisps and meat to marmalade. it means hundreds of forms. the store manager says they are struggling to account for everything. our main delivery is still unconfirmed. so... but if that doesn't come, it looks like we may have to close for a longer period of time until we can enjoy guarantee supplies, basically. you can't have a supermarket running with no stock on the shelves. the british government says it has long warned of the changes to come, and described these issues as short—term problems. but it's more than that for this company. we're not talking about shipping one product in one truck. we're shipping hundreds of products on one truck. and each product will need a different set of paperwork to go along with it. customers have been coming here for 39 years, a guaranteed way of getting british items abroad. we have always come here to, essentially, i suppose, to get a little bit of home—grown things, where you have the flavour of home, if you like, and the sort of feel at home. it's all the stuff you miss. it's the stuff that you, when you go back on, that you want to bring back. it's the stuff of your childhood. it's the stuff of necessity — bleach. and normally i buy a big box full. this is all i can manage to scrape up today. the reality for stone manor means it's been forced to close at the weekend for the first time ever. the bosses say it's a temporary measure, but it risks being shut for much longer if they can't bring supplies in soon. so we have no custard creams, no digestives. — so we have no custard creams, no digestives, none of the old british treats. _ digestives, none of the old british treats.

by a pair of hikers, who wrapped her up in a coat and carried herfor six miles to safety and, later, a reunion with her very grateful owner, erina 0'shay gootellen. she joins us now from wicklow. oh,

the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. there's to be a referendum in south london in october over whether croydon should have a directly elected mayor or not. it comes just months after the local authority took drastic action to stop most of its spending due to the state of its finances. last night's decision follows a petition from local campaigners. it's estimated the referendum will cost over half a million pounds. many thousands of people have lost their jobs during the pandemic — with some now doing work they'd never considered before. like mathew, who spent years in the aviation industry before losing his job five months ago. but he says he considers himself lucky as he's now a shop worker in a supermarket. he's been telling us about his experience. it was a shock to the system. you know, spending the past 15 years building up a career, to then having to go to a new industry and to start at the bottom of the pecking order. it... it has been hard. utilising this time off, i've been able to re—evaluate my life and to look at things in a different perspective. so, going back, i don't think i will be so much involved with the rat race. a house described as probably the skinniest house in london is on the market forjust under a million pounds. the two—bedroom property on goldhawk road in west london measures just less than six feet wide, and is spread over five floors. the estate agent says, "if you like the traditional, this is not for you — but if you like the quirky, come and see the home." let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are fewer trains than normal on the 0verground due to staff shortages. it's causing severe delays — not helped by a signal failure, too. that has now cleared up on the overground. now the weather with elizabeth. good morning. it's another bitterly cold start to the day across the capital, with temperatures a good few degrees below freezing. some very icy conditions out there on the roads and the pavements today, and there's still a met office warning in place for snow, valid until midnight on wednesday. we're expecting these lines of snow showers to continue to track in from the east, and underneath these lines of showers there could be another few centimetres of snowfall on top of what we've already got. some places will stay relatively dry, and the snowfall will tend to be a bit lighter the further west you are, across those western home counties, of course. the winds are a touch lighter than they were yesterday, but still brisk, still very chilly, plenty of wind chill to factor into these temperatures, which will struggle once more to get above freezing. but some brighter spells, i think, for many of us as we head through the afternoon. now overnight tonight, again it's going to be a very cold one. the showers will continue, lows of minus four, minus five degrees celsius, perhaps. but wednesday is looking drier, with lighter winds. it will stay cold for the rest of the week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today. all travellers entering the uk could face mandatory covid tests after they arrive to stop the spread of new variants. 0ver—70s in england who haven't been vaccinated are told to contact the nhs. james anderson is simply sensational. he takes three wickets to put england in firm control of the opening test against india on the final day. and a rendezvous with the red planet — why this mission to mars is reaching a crucial moment. good morning, we havejust had the coldest night of winter so far, the temperature fell to —13.4. the risk of ice this morning, and amber weather warning out the parts of central scotland, and snow showers elsewhere. not everybody will see them. a bitterly cold wind to boot. all the details later. it's tuesday the 9th of february. our top story. all travellers entering the uk will be tested for coronavirus after they arrive — under plans which are expected to be announced today. they'll still have to provide a negative covid test before they travel, and either self—isolate or quarantine on arrival, depending where they have come from. 0ur reporter charlotte wright has more details on this, and all the latest developments in the fight against the virus. 0k? just some of the millions who have now been vaccinated against covid—19. but while these people were told to wait to be called up — now, in england, those over 70 who haven't yet been given an appointment are being urged to contact the nhs themselves online, or by calling 119. my advice to you is very simple — do not delay, have the vaccine that will protect you against the current threat. and don't worry, you can be re—vaccinated. it follows concerns about the performance of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, after a small study found it gave minimal protection against mild disease from the south africa variant. but scientists say that shouldn't deter people from getting a jab in the uk, where the dominant strain of the virus is different. i don't think it's an immediate concern and every bit of immunity to this virus that you can accumulate is a good thing because it will, in all likelihood, reduce the severity of disease if you do catch this virus — even if it is from one of the the overseas strains or a strain which has acquired some resistance. but the virus is changing here, too. extra community testing — known as surge testing — will start in parts of south manchester today after a mutation of the kent variant was discovered in four people in two separate households. experts say it's to be expected. in itself, we're not particularly worried. we think, based on tests done in test tubes that the vaccine will still work — perhaps just not quite as well as previously, but still good enough to protect people from severe disease that means going into hospital, and from dying. meanwhile, it's been announced that all passengers arriving in the uk will now be required to take a covid test during their isolation — measures, the department for health says, will provide a further level of protection for the country, and another sign that the pandemic�*s journey is far from over. charlotte wright, bbc news. 0ur

has been planning decision? good morning. the - government has been planning for a little while now to toughen up restrictions on the border for a number of reasons. number one because of the rise of new variants of coronavirus in other countries around the world and also because they have been coming under a lot of political pressure to do it. pressure from nicola sturgeon, first minister of scotland. keir starmer, the labour leader. also many of their own members of parliamnt, as well. in terms of this new testing requirement, it will be on days two and eight when people come back to the uk. it will apply whether you are quarantining at home or going into a hotel from next monday because you have come from a country of concern. although i understand the test to release scheme will carry on. that is the one where if you are at home you can leave your house after five days if you have a negative test. but we don't know what kind of test will be required by the government yet, that is important because that will define how expensive this will be. if they go for the most expensive kind of test, a pcr, then you have to have a pcr test three days if we get on the plane to come back to the uk, then he would have at least two more tests when you get home, so for a family of four, that dylan echo and tesco costing more than £100 each, that makes a holiday very, very expensive

re—open to visitors by march. age uk is among six organisations asking for the return of what they call meaningful indoor visits — as many residents have now spent almost a year without a proper face—to—face visit from a relative. the impeachment trial of donald trump starts in the us senate today. he's charged with inciting a mob of his supporters to attack the capitol building last month. his lawyers have said mr trump will not testify — and that he did not spark the violence. 0ur washington correspondent barbara plett usher reports. for the first time in modern history, america's peaceful transfer of power was shaken. the capitol stormed by armed supporters of the president to stop congress from declaring his election defeat. the ragged insurrectionjolted lawmakers into action. members of the lower chamber — including some republicans — charged donald trump with inciting the riot. we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. president trump used fiery language that day — his lawyers say he was simply exercising his right to free speech. we're going to walk down to the capitol! cheering. but democrats plan to use his own words against him. take the capitol! they say the evidence is all out there — live streamed and live tweeted. fight for trump! and they will present it in vivid colour for the nation to see. no—one will be able to avert their gaze from what mr trump said and did, and the consequences of his actions. # america... five people died during the riot. here, a memorial service for a capitol police officer who was killed. and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle feared for their lives. and then ijust start to hear these yells of, "where is she? where is she? " like hell, i'm going to let a bunch of domestic terrorists interfere i with ourjob to protect - and defend the constitution. do you solemnly swear... it looks almost certain, though, that senate republicans won't vote to convict. 0n the day they were sworn in as jurors, most of them backed mr trump, calling the trial unconstitutional. democrats are wasting the nation's time on a partisan vendetta against a man no longer in office. the man may have left the white house, but he's still a power broker in the party, with a tight grip on the grass roots. and he's not coming back here to testify — to this fortress capitol, still under heavy guard to protect members of congress. republicans are clearly eager to turn this unhappy page and move on, but democrats are determined to hold donald trump to account — for the history books, if nothing else. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. investigators from the world health organisation have completed their initial investigation into the origins of the pandemic in wuhan. a group of 10 scientists have spent nearly a month in the chinese city and have interviewed people from a virus research facility, hospitals and the food market which was linked to the initial outbreak. they're going to hold a news conference shortly. a mission to mars — the first ever by the united arab emirates — will orbit the red planet later

recently, and the effectiveness of the oxford vaccine against it. but it's the so—called kent variant which is dominant in the uk right now. let's try to shed some light on the difference between the two and why the government remains confident in all of its vaccines, for now. dr mike tildesley is an infectious disease expert and professor adam finn sits on thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. thank you forjoining us. dr mike tildesley, let's talk about the south african variant. how concerned should we be about it? well. south african variant. how concerned should we be about

circulating around the population prior to november when the kent variant first emerged. there is not really, similar to the kent variant, suggested it will cause more serious disease but if it becomes dominant people will get infected and develop severe sentence at a faster rate, so thatis severe sentence at a faster rate, so that is a concern. what is more concerning is the reports coming out suggesting that there will be a lower level of effectiveness with the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, so thatis the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine, so that is a concern in terms of, even if it prevents severe disease, if it doesn't protect very well against mild or moderate disease, it may be possible for people to get infected, not develop severe symptoms, but pass it on. that is the concern at the moment, that vaccines might not be quite as effective against south african variant as we thought they may be. african variant as we thought they ma be. ., , , ., african variant as we thought they ma

need to encourage as many people as possible to take up the vaccines when they are offered so that we can build levels of immunity that we need. in terms of controls, pace, easing out of lockdown, we really need the government to be prepared to be responsive and react to emerging changes so that we minimise the risk of a resurgence in cases, should we get a dominant variant when vaccines are less

start to get the impact from vaccination, we are very close to having our top four in vulnerable groups having received the vaccine, the first stage, i should say. as we start to see the benefits of that, we know there is pressure from the government to start using lockdown. the concern of course is that if we eased too rapidly, the gains we get from vaccination will be offset by the fact that people are mixing more in the community. so we need to be really careful with this, make sure we eased out at a slowing of rates so we get the vaccine after what people, we don't get the researchers

including tax deferrals and the furlough scheme — are due to end. they want reduced business rates and vat to be extended. the shadow business secretary lucy powell can tell us more. she joins us from manchester. good morning, thank you forjoining us. you are talking about calling on the government to extend those business rates relief and a reduced rate of vat, keep that in place. how feasible is that?— feasible is that? well, it's absolutely _ feasible is that? well, it's absolutely vital _ feasible is that? well, it's absolutely vital because i feasible is that? well, it's absolutely vital because ifj feasible is that? well, it's i absolutely vital because if we feasible is that? well, it's - absolutely vital because if we don't do this then businesses are facing this huge bombshell in april, so that could lead to a huge number of businesses going bust because of insolvencies and job losses that men are incurred. the federation of small businesses suggests that 250,000 businesses are at risk of going bust over the coming months. we really have to deal with this issue now, that all of the economic support packages are coming to an end in one big bombshell, really, at the beginning of april, and businesses are today having to plan, how will they start paying back those vat deferrals, how will they start paying business rates again? bills are going out of business rates around now in councils and will they be able to deal with 20% vat if they are in hospitality, for example? we want the government to extend business rate holidays for at least six months, to carry on with the cut in vat in hospitality and extend the furlough scheme for as long as restrictions are in place. how would that be funded? it will have to be _ how would that be funded? it will have to be funded _ how would that be funded? it will have to be funded in _ how would that be funded? it will have to be funded in the - how would that be funded? it will have to be funded in the same i how would that be funded? it ii. have to be funded in the same way the economic support packages have been funded so far. but let's be clear that if we don't do this now, the cost to our economy in the long run will be a great deal more than at the cost of dealing with this bombshell and these cliff edges today because the higher costs associated with business insolvency, with people being made redundant and therefore having to rely on benefits, their recovery being choked off because businesses are not there to power that recovery. it is money we cannot afford not to spend and that is why pims, the international monetary fund, the bank of england, the 0ecd, all agree with labour that we need to now invest and not try to cut our way out of this crisis at the wrong point. of course, we supported businesses and jobs for the last 12 months so it makes no economic sense whatsoever to now cooked support is vital final stage because then all of that previous investment will have gone to waste.— of that previous investment will have gone to waste. from your point of view, have gone to waste. from your point of view. the — have gone to waste. from your point of view, the labour _ have

see the future to be?— see the future to be? i think it would broadly _ see the future to be? i think it would broadly be _ see the future to be? i think it would broadly be in _ see the future to be? i think it would broadly be in line - see the future to be? i think it would broadly be in line with l see the future to be? i think it i would broadly be in line with the government on that. we want to see a route map, we want to see that timetable. it has got to be one that is realistic, is appropriate, does not put our public health at risk. but crucially, for businesses, they need to be able to plan around that, so they need to know the economic support will sit alongside the public health measures. at the moment they diverge considerably. we need to make sure, i think, for businesses, that that route map to reopening allows businesses to open in a viable way. so we cannot have ridiculous things we have seen speculated about, with pubs saying they can reopen but without serving alcohol, for example. businesses will only want to restock and spend all this money on reopening, which they haven't really got at the moment, if it is going to be viable them to do so and they have some certainty around that for the long—term. certainty around that for the long-term— certainty around that for the [on-term. . . . . , long-term. can i ask about what is rroin on long-term. can i

concerned are you by hearing that? i have been kept closely informed of this situation. i think it is a mutation of the kent variant. i know residents in the area, moss side and hume, in my constituency, will be anxious about that. this sage testing has been coming in very quickly, everybody can get a test that this sage testing. people shouldn't worry about it but should go. there will be lots of local testing available and door to door knocking so people can get a test on their doorstep with council officials and others and i will encourage everybody to get that so we can eradicate

are a worry and that is why we have been concerned that they have not been tougher measures on protecting our borders and potentially stopping the coming into our country from people travelling here. the government said it was going to introduce the quarantine hotel system, but that is still only just about coming into play now. these sort of delays, we can ill because that is how a new variants take a seat in this country. we have to be very vigilant to these mutations. of course viruses do mutate, but the ones that show themselves to be resistant to vaccines are of particular concern. lucy powell, shadow business secretary, thank you. we are speaking to george eustice shortly on breakfast. that is in a couple of minutes. we have a packed programme. we will also be talking about a trip to mars, which is reaching a critical moment in the mission. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. there's to be a referendum in south london in october, over whether croydon should have a directly elected mayor or not. it comes just months after the local authority took drastic action to stop most of its spending, due to the state of its finances. last night's decision follows a petition from local campaigners. it's estimated the referendum will cost over half a million pounds. bailiffs have this morning begun to evict protesters, who are part of the highbury corner tree protection camp. the so—called tree protectors have been living in tents and treehouses, to save a number of trees, which islington council plans to take down to make way for a block of flats. protestors claim they've also built an underground tunnel. many thousands of people have lost their jobs during the pandemic, with some now doing work they'd never considered before. like matthew, who spent years in the aviation industry before losing his job five months ago. but he says he considers himself lucky as he's now a shop worker in a supermarket. he's been telling us about his experience. and you can hear about it on our lunchtime news at 1.30 on bbc one. a house described as probably the skinniest house in london, is on the market forjust under a million pounds. the two—bedroom property on goldhawk road in west london measures less than six feet wide, and is spread over five floors. the estate agent says "if you like the traditional, this is not for you. but if you like the quirky, come and see the home." let's take a look at the travel situation now. the bakerloo line has severe delays, due to a power supply fault. london buses and thameslink are accepting london underground tickets. and ther 0verground has a reduced service due to staff shortages. 0n the roads, the a2 still has roadworks causing delays into town at the danson interchange. and pothole repairs on shooters hill road in south east london are causing delays there. now the weather with elizabeth. good morning. it's another bitterly cold start to the day across the capital, with temperatures a good few degrees below freezing. some very icy conditions out there on the roads and the pavements today, and there's still a met office warning in place for snow, valid until midnight on wednesday. we're expecting these lines of snow showers to continue to track in from the east, and underneath these lines of showers there could be another few centimetres of snowfall on top of what we've already got. some places will stay relatively dry, and the snowfall will tend to be a bit lighter the further west you are, across those western home counties, of course. the winds are a touch lighter than they were yesterday, but still brisk, still very chilly, plenty of wind chill to factor into these temperatures, which will struggle once more to get above freezing. but some brighter spells, i think, for many of us as we head through the afternoon. now overnight tonight, again it's going to be a very cold one. the showers will continue, lows of minus four, minus five degrees celsius, perhaps. but wednesday is looking drier, with lighter winds. it will stay cold for the rest of the week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we are expecting to speak to the environment secretary in a few minutes. . environment secretary in a few minutes. , ., ., , minutes.

it might be a bit dishevelled. sorry, everyone. morning. it's being described as one of the best overs in test cricket — james anderson taking two wickets in three balls, on the final day of england's first test against india in chennai. he's really put england on top in this match, making an impact as soon as he was given bowling duties — each first sending shubman gill's stump flying. and then removing ajinkya rahane in the same way, with another fine delivery. he's taken three wickets in all today. jack leach has just added another. they need three more for victory. india are 171—7. there's been a good win for britain's heather watson at the australian open — she's beaten kristyna pliskova in two tie—break sets to reach the second round. the two british men in the draw — dan evans and cameron norrie — are playing theirfirst—round match, and norrie broke serve early on to take the first set — they're all square in the second. 0nline abuse in football has become such a huge problem and prosecution is the only way forward, according to the uk's first football hate crime officer. referee mike dean has asked to be stood down from the next round of premier league fixtures this weekend, after death threats were made to his family. it came after he gave west ham's tomas soucek a red card on saturday, and soucek has condemned the abuse. pc stuart ward says it's time for action. really now we're at a stage where we need to be all coming together with the social media companies, collating that evidence and looking at prosecuting people. every circumstance, every incident, is very different, depending on what's been said or how it's been reported into us. however, we need to be looking at a proper prosecution route. it's the only way we can go now. it's been going on forfar too long. that is eurosport. fa cup preview in an hour. see you then. we promise you we would be speaking to the environment secretary. george eustice joins us now. to the environment secretary. george eusticejoins us now. thank to the environment secretary. george eustice joins us now. thank you for being with us. good morning. lots of questions to ask you. lots coming in from viewers. quite a bit of interest in the plan to test those interest in the plan to test those in quarantine and in isolation. what more details can you tell us about when those tests will take place? well, look, we have always had a provision that if people are in quarantine, having travelled here, they can have a test to leave that quarantine early if they test clear. i know that this is an issue that is being looked at. i think matt hancock will be saying more about it later today. hancock will be saying more about it latertoday. but hancock will be saying more about it later today. but we are constantly keeping these things under review. there is a case for having a test for people while they are in quarantine so we can identify any of those carrying the virus. matt hancock has _ those carrying the virus. matt hancock has been _ those carrying the virus. matt hancock has been talking -- . those carrying the virus. matt hancock has been talking —— will be talking about that later. but it has been confirmed to adam fleming that there will be tests on day two and day eight of quarantine. in terms of the detail, do we know what type of test that will be? there is a huge cost difference between a pcr test and lateral flow tests? yes. cost difference between a pcr test and lateral flow tests?— and lateralflow tests? yes, and i don't know. _ and lateralflow tests? yes, and i

hancock, when he gives the statement later, will give those details. in general we have been using the lateral flow tests for these purposes, particularly for people seeking to arrive here and travelled here. it is the case that the pcr test is more likely to pick up the pcr test is more likely to pick up more strains and is therefore potentially a more effective test, but it also takes longer. there are pros and cons to each approach. i'm sure matt hancock will set out full details later. i sure matt hancock will set out full details later-— details later. i get the feeling there might _ details later. i get the feeling there might be _ details later. i get the feeling there might be a _ details later. i get the feeling there might be a matt - details later. i get the feeling

are trying to roll out a testing to businesses and increase the uptake on that, so that we can have more effective surveillance of this virus. at the moment the government is paying for these tests, these lateral flow tests. it slightly different if you have got foreign nationals potentially arriving here and quarantining here. again, i don't want to prejudge anything that might be said, because i haven't seen the final decision on this at this point, but at the moment on most of the work that has been done to monitor and give surveillance on people who are travelling, the government is making available those lateral flow tests. more generally, around the issue of new variant ofs, we have already spoken to the liberal party and sir keir starmer says the south african variant is the single biggest threat at the moment to this country. with that in mind and given that there are still some 21,000 people arriving in the uk every day from abroad, isn't it time, if you are concerned about new variants, whether it be south african or something else that might emerge in the coming weeks and months, shouldn't our borders be even more tightly patrolled? isn't there an argument to shut them down completely?— argument to shut them down com-letel ? ~ ., .., , completely? well, we have considered that but there — completely? well, we have considered that but there are _ completely? well, we have considered that but there are downsides _ completely? well, we have considered that but there are downsides to - completely? well, we have considered that but there are downsides to that i that but there are downsides to that approach as well. you would still have british nationals who would then be trying to get back. they could also be potentially carrying the virus. so it may not gain very much. there would be some difficulties and problems with a total border closure. there are reasons why people might genuinely need to travel. for instance, to visit relatives who may be ill, for instance. we don't want to completely close the border. but what we do want to do and what we are constantly refining comets have appropriate restrictions in place. so we already require everybody to have a test. there are penalties on those travellers who refuse to do that. we appeal to everybody than to go into quarantine. for those coming from high—risk countries, where there are strains we are worried about, particularly america and south africa, we will require them from next monday to quarantine in designated hotels. fiend from next monday to quarantine in

lateral flow tests for every single lorry drivers seeking to cross the short straight. so we have shown that we can react quickly, put in place provisions in short order. i think this will be no

we have been talking about this morning is - week. one other thing we have been talking about this morning is the - talking about this morning is the mass testing being rolled out in manchester because of the so—called kent variant found there. how concerned are you by the development of these variants, and what sort of measures are you putting in place as a government to make sure that it is under control?— under control? well, of course, the kent variant — under control? well, of course, the kent variant has _ under control? well, of course, the kent variant has been _ under control? well, of course, the kent variant has been the _ under control? well, of course, the kent variant has been the big - under control? well, of course, the j kent variant has been the big driver of the peak that we have just been through. it is far more infectious than the previous strains were. it has been particularly difficult to manage. that is why we had no option but to go into a full national lockdown. the remedy ultimately is to continue to roll the vaccine out, which we are doing successfully. some 12.2 million people have been vaccinated. we are adding to that every day. we are confident that in the next week or so we will have vaccinated all those top four most vulnerable cohorts, all of those people over the age of 70. once we do that, the risk of mortality from this virus really starts to recede. when we get to the point we have vaccinated everybody over the age of 50, then you really do tackle that cohort that account for about 98% of all mortality. so the remedy to this is to continue our work to roll out the vaccine. that is the way out of this pandemic. d0 the vaccine. that is the way out of this pandemic.— the vaccine. that is the way out of this pandemic. do

do you have numbers this morning? the health secretary . this morning? the health secretary said yesterday, as you touched on there, about all of the 70s who have not had the vaccine yet to contact the nhs. do we know how many people that might be?— that might be? well, my understanding _ that might be? well, my understanding at - that might be? well, my understanding at the - that might be? well, my - understanding at the moment is it that might be? well, my _ understanding at the moment is it is currently around 90%, just over 90%, of the over 755. that includes all those older cohorts a5 of the over 755. that includes all those older cohorts as well, over tho5e older cohorts as well, over 855 who have now had at the vaccine. there are still more to go. the reason we have now said if you haven't had it yet, forward, is because we want to make sure that if everybody —— anybody has been raised for whatever reason, because they are not on the local health register and they have been missed, we want them to volunteer and step forward to make sure they get the vaccine. we are in the closing stages of vaccinating tho5e remaining people in that most vulnerable cohort. 0k. in

are, as a government, obviously very concerned about the impact that the school closes have had on the life chance5 impact that the school closes have had on the life chances of young people, particularly those who will be at a vulnerable stage considering their exams, and trying to prepare for those important exams. we want to make sure that we get their education back on track. we refrain from closing school5 until it was absolutely essential we did, because we think that keeping young people in a school environment is important notjust for their education, but also their social development and their confidence as well. we want to get those schools reopen a5 their confidence as well. we want to get those schools reopen as soon as we can. probably after easter. we also

get information for those many people watching this tho5e many people watching this morning and really interested and concerned about the education of their children. if you are not ruling anything out, is there anything you can say about the rumour we have read in the last few days about potentially the summer holiday being reduced and there being an extra two weeks of school before we get to the summer holiday this year? before we get to the summer holiday this ear? ~ before we get to the summer holiday this ear? . ., ., before we get to the summer holiday this ear? . . ., ., �* ., this

particular commissioner to focus specifically on this task. he will be considering those options and making recommendations which obviously we will look at. these have been extraordinary times, where we have had to close down school for extended periods. it has caused disruption to young people puzzle —like lives. we have got to do whatever it takes to get their education back on course. we can't rule anything out at this stage. appreciate your time, thank you. taste appreciate your time, thank you. we are appreciate your time, thank you. - are expecting a statement in the house of commons letter from matt hancock. that will have more details about travellers returning to the uk. we can give you a lot of detail right now and what is going on out and about. it is really cold. carol has much more. carol has much more. good morning. iwill start good morning. i will start off with the temperatures we have seen this morning. officially the coldest night of the winter so far. —15.1 in alt nahar in scotland. the first three are scottish temperatures. way below freezing. sharpies in northern ireland. it is a cold start to the day. it is also an icy one. we have seen quite a few snow showers through the course of the night. the met office has in amber weather warning enforce that means an increased likelihood of disruption due to severe weather, in this case heavy snow. it is valid until nine o'clock this evening. widely by the end of the morning we could see five to ten centimetres of snow. but with a better height we could see that amount. you can see why disruption is likely. we have had a lot of snow showers as we have got through the night. notjust in eastern areas. some of them blowing in to the west. we will carry on in that vein today. especially when we have the amber weather warning. as you can see they are showers. not evolves —— not all of us will cease now. some will have a dry day with sunshine. not quite as windy as yesterday. 0nly a dry day with sunshine. not quite as windy as yesterday. only through the english channel, the channel islands and the south—west. the gust of wind are indicated here in the black circles. the strongest through the english channel and south—west england. that went coming from a cold direction. although this may be what you see on your thermometer, this is how it will feel against your skin. widely across the board we're looking at below freezing. —6 in birmingham. what if we zoom into the south—west, which is we have got the south—west, which is we have got the strongest winds, it will feel more like —10 and —8 in st helier. let's look at this weather front approaching the south—west. it looks like it could bring some rain into the isles of scilly, the tip of cornwall and the channel islands. possibly some snow. it makes good further south before it does that. whichever way you look at it once again tonight it is going to be cold. —15 in the highlands and grampian. the risk of ice once again. as we head into wednesday we have got low pressure in the atlantic. it is trying to come in against this high pressure. at the moment not succeeding. this is the battle between the cold air you have been hearing about and also milder air. it looks now that the colder air. it looks now that the colder air is going to win out. wednesday a lot of dry weather. the wind is a north—easterly. the distribution of the wintry showers will change a little bit. still across eastern areas, particularly where it is exposed to the north—easterly wind. you can see, for example, down into kent. the west drier and brighter with sunshine. it will feel cold wherever you are. drier conditions on thursday. we could see some snow before some rain. this is still open to question because it is the battle between the warm and cold air. we think the cold air is going to win. is it indeed?! thank you very much. see you soon. let's return now to a story we touched on earlier — that mission to mars, which is due to orbit the red planet at around four o'clock this afternoon. any space expedition is historic, but this one, by the united arab emirates, is also ground—breaking because the team behind it are mostly women. our global science correspondent rebecca morelle has the details. a first for the united arab emirates. this was the moment last summer when it sent its spacecraft to mars. now it's almost reached its destination, but the probe, called hope, has a critical manoeuvre ahead — getting into orbit. it needs to approach mars atjust the right speed and angle. if anything goes wrong, the entire mission will be lost. the spacecraft will study the atmosphere to solve a big mystery of how mars transformed from a planet with water, like earth, to the dry, dusty world it is today. until now, the uae has only sent satellites into earth orbit. arriving at the red planet will be a huge leap. to know that there is a spacecraft that has gone from this region further than any man—made object has ever gone, that is hurtling towards a small pink dot that you also see in the sky, i can't describe the feeling or the thought process, but i never thought that this was possible. the spacecraft has one shot to get into orbit. if it succeeds, history will be made, firmly establishing the united arab emirates as a new space power. rebecca morelle, bbc news. we are very excited to hear about this. we can now speak now to dr maggie lieu, who has worked on a probe that is currently orbiting mars for the european space agency. she's in coventry. tell us what is happening today? is

doodling — as you'll know if you've seen his draw with rob tutorials online. take a look. hello, everybody. and welcome to another brand—new episode of draw with rob. now before we continue along here to form the rest of our sausage dog, we need to draw her front leg here. we are going tojust continue the line down a little tiny bit as we start to turn the corner, to go into the long sausage dog body. this is how draw with rob works. i do a little piece of the drawing on my paper here, just a little tiny bit of the drawing, then you draw. i draw, you draw, i draw, you draw, i draw, you draw. and at the end we are going to end up with a lovely drawing. i can't wait to see your drawings. what you need to do is you need to get a grown—up to take a picture of your drawings. and then, if they post them on social media using the hashtag draw with rob, that way i will get to see it. most of the colouring done. we are going to add a little bit of yellow detail here and there. signature colour

take two covid tests while they're in quarantine. over—705 in england who haven't been vaccinated are told to contact the nhs. the bulk of childcare, and less secure jobs. why women are suffering more from the economic impact of covid. mps say there's a gender gap in support — the government says it's doing whatever it takes. another absolutely outstanding performance from james anderson. he takes two wickets in an over, sending stumps flying to put england in firm control of the opening test against india. they need one more wicket to win. and coming up in the next half hour, we talk fa cup with the premier league's record goal—scorer, alan shearer. i get to wear hi—vis and be very bossy and go, "oi!" no, just to welcome people, as i'm about to do. good morning, sir, welcome. from lord of the manor to vaccine centre volunteer — downton star hugh bonneville on his new role on the covid frontline. good morning. it has been the coldest night of the winter so if with temperatures falling to —15.1. further snow showers in the forecast once again today, in between some sunshine and gusty winds and a significant wind chill. all the details later. it's tuesday the 9th of february. our top story. all travellers entering the uk will soon have to take two coronavirus tests while they spend time in quarantine at home or in a hotel. 0ne test would be taken two days after arrival — the other after eight days. the health secretary, matt hancock, will announce details in the commons this lunchtime. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. kind of clear today that things are moving along. what do you know? the moving along. what do you know? tie: government is toughening up things on the border when it comes to coronavirus. they are doing that because of the risk of new variance to the virus and ageing abroad that means that potentially vaccines don't work at home. that is a theoretical risk at the moment but one they are taking seriously. also political pressure on them to do this from all directions. from nicola sturgeon, keir starmer, or their own conservative mps nicola sturgeon, keir starmer, or their own conservative mp5 on the backbenches. what we will get from matt hancock today is a series of measures and an update on what they are doing at the borders. the big thing this money is this introduction of two new texts for people coming into the uk from abroad. that will apply whether you are isolating at home or isolating in a hotel, which will come in from next monday, because you have come back from one of those countries of concern. you will have to get a test on day two and day eight. it will have to be a pcr test, the most specific accurate test but also the most expensive, and this means that if you do go abroad it will be very expensive because you will have to pay for a test three days before you get on the plane to come back to the uk, and then two tests when you are at home. also you could get a test on day five if you want to get out of isolation earlier. that could be former protests tests all and they cost about £120, so that is nearly £500 on testing just for one person, which could make a family holiday incredibly expensive indeed. although the government is pointing out that people should not be going on holiday at the moment because it is illegal under the rules of the lockdown. 0ne is illegal under the rules of the lockdown. one other thing to clear up lockdown. one other thing to clear up which i think is very important. you are chatting to the environment secretary a couple of minutes ago and he seemed to say that the schools in england might not go back until easter. he misspoke. what you meant to say was that government's existing policy, which is they hope to get schools back on the 8th of march at the earliest, and they will make a decision about that in a couple of weeks in february. adam, thank ou couple of weeks in february. adam, thank you very _

scientists have spent nearly a month in the chinese city — and have interviewed people from a virus research facility, hospitals and the food market which was linked to the initial outbreak. they're going to hold a news conference shortly. the impeachment trial of donald trump starts today in washington dc. the former us president is charged with inciting the attack on the capitol building last month. mr trump's lawyers have said he did not spark the violence and that he will not testify in the proceedings — which they say are unconstitutional. some sad news this morning. the motown singer mary wilson has died at the age of 76. she co—founded the supremes when she was just 15 with diana ross in detroit. the group became famous for a string of hits including baby love. her publicist confirmed that she died at her home in las vegas on monday. if you think it's cold here, spare a thought for canadians — some of whom have seen temperatures of between minus 35 and minus 50 degrees celsius over the past few nights. it has however made this possible. this is boiling water turning instantly to ice crystals when thrown into the air under such extreme temperatures. it has to be around minus 42 degrees celsius or lower for this rather beautiful effect to be possible. i wouldn't recommend trying it at home! it's just absolutely stunning and it is nothing like that here so do not be throwing boiling water around. something else we are looking at this morning, we talked a lot on this morning, we talked a lot on this programme about this army of volunteers all over the uk helping with the current vaccination programme and there are quite a few famous faces getting involved. hugh bonneville, who you may have enjoyed in the paddington films, he has been one of those volunteers. it is not one of those volunteers. it is not one of those volunteers. it is not one of those, "look at me, i'm doing a greatjob," we knew he was doing it, we asked if we could film a day

bit earlier than usual but good morning anyway. we have just had the coldest night of this winter so far, temperatures falling to —15.1 celsius. not really surprising that it is an icy start and there are further snow showers in the forecast. in braemar, reports of 60 to 70 centimetres, lying snow. we stick with scotland first thing because the met office has an amber weather warning out for heavy snow, valid until 9pm. some disruption likely, we could see five to ten centimetres widely of snow by 9pm. double that with a bit of height. snow showers across the price of the uk today. being blown in on a gusty wind. this has happened already this morning but it will continue as we go through the day. there are a showers, meaning not all of us will see them. there will be some sunshine in between, gusty winds. for some it won't be as windy as yesterday but when you see the ghost circles coming on in a jiffy you will know what i mean. the other thing is we have this front approaching the isles of scilly, cornwall and the channel islands, bringing potentially some rain and maybe some snow but it could slip southwards, missing you altogether. these are the gusts of wind, these are the temperatures you can expect outside on your thermometer, but out on the strength of the wind and it will feel much colder, —6, —5, and in parts of that south—west with the strongest winds, it will feel more like —10 i will have a longer weather in about half an hour but for now, back to you.— weather in about half an hour but for now, back to you. thank you very much. for now, back to you.

term which may be coming down the line in a few months — "summer school". that's according to sir kevan collins — who's in charge of making sure that pupils in england catch up on the work they've missed during the pandemic. we are going to have to ask teachers and think about ways of increasing the learning time for children. now i don't think that's necessarily an easy answer right now, but there is time to make up. 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 sports, for music, for drama. because these are critical areas of learning. notjust the academics but these vital areas that have been, i think, missed by many children and will be missed in their growth and development. i'm sure lots of you will watch that with interest. let's get the view of a head teacher now. tom prestwich is from jubilee primary school in south london. good morning, thank you forjoining us. it's are difficult times for teachers, children trying to learn, parents who are perhaps not qualified as you are to be teaching. really difficult times. when you hear him talking about extra hours of academic learning, what are your thoughts? i of academic learning, what are your thourhts? ~ �* . of academic learning, what are your thourhts? ~ �* , ., of academic learning, what are your thourhts? ~ �*, ., , . thoughts? i think it's a difficult one if we are _ thoughts? i think it's a difficult one if we are talking _ thoughts? i think it's a difficult one if we are talking about - one if we are talking about extending the school year for teachers and school staff into the summer. i think sir kevan is right that there will be a lot of work to do to catch up and i really like what he says about thinking about the child and expanding opportunities in things like sports and drama. i wasjust questioned whether extending the school year when teachers are already incredibly tired, it has been a long, long period of a lot of difficult it for schools. i'm not entirely convinced that extending the year into the summit will be the best answer in the long—term. tithe summit will be the best answer in the long-term— the long-term. one of the other suggestions _ the long-term. one of the other suggestions is — the long-term. one of the other suggestions is extending - the long-term. one of

there is a lot of work to be done. - is a lot of work to be done. children have been out of school for quite some time, so i think to go from that to really long days right from that to really long days right from the off might not be the best approach. extending opportunities and activities into the evening, similar to activities, would be good, especially if there is funding available for it, but it is going to be a period of readjustment and in the english school system we have a tendency sometimes to feel we need to rush to get to the next milestone. the period of catch up needs to be extended, we need to look really carefully at what children are doing, how they are performing when they get back, and the process of making sure that children are really solid on all the key skills they need, particularly from my perspective in primary school. that should be done carefully over time rather than anything that looks like cramming. that could potentially put a lot of children of learning when we want to get them back engaged. let’s children of learning when we want to get them back engaged.— get them back engaged. let's talk about those _ get them back engaged. let's talk about those key _ get them back engaged. let's talk about those key skills. _ get them back engaged. let's talk about those key skills. there - get them back engaged. let's talk about those key skills. there are i about those key skills. there are things... you need building blocks particularly in primary school, and if you don't have them, it can really be very difficult. what kind of things are you concerned about? i think the first thing is, when the children are back, it really is looking at well—being first and for most, making sure that children haven't suffered too much in terms of their social skills, haven't suffered too much in terms of theirsocialskills, in haven't suffered too much in terms of their social skills, in terms of their mental health. making sure they feel secure, happy and ready to learn again. there are key objectives in every year group, in every school, and i think really careful assessment from teachers. catch up where gaps have emerged because we know that learning will because we know that learning will be patchy from school to school and within cohorts in schools, but i think that should be a careful long process rather than something we need to rush at this point. latte process rather than something we need to rush at this point. we know that many children _ need to rush at this point. we know that many children have _ need to rush at this point. we know that many children have been - that many children have been incredibly resilient through this and working height and all the rest of it. do you think that... will they be able to catch up if they need to, do you think? i they be able to catch up if they need to, do you think?- they be able to catch up if they need to, do you think? i really do. i think, obviously, _ need to, do you think? i really do. i think, obviously, we _ need to, do you think? i really do. i think, obviously, we need - need to, do you think? i really do. i think, obviously, we need to - need to, do you think? i really do. | i think, obviously, we need to look long—term at the curriculum and what needs to be in there, what maybe can be taken out so that by the end of primary school children have all of those key skills. but really it is about mastering those key skills rather than rushing into the next point in the learning. i think the connection between primary and secondary it can be strengthened, as well. there is a certain amount of revision and treading water at the start of secondary and if the tear curriculum is can flow into each other a bit better that will help. you are really well—placed. there will be lots of parents watching this money, facing another day of teaching. as a primary school head teacher, what are the priorities? i think it is important if there is an offer out there that parents engage in it and we know that some families are in better positions to sit with their children each day and go through learning. for some, that is not possible, but try to encourage them to keep going. if you have questions, get in touch with your schools, speak to the teachers as much as possible, but also not to panic. children pick up on that anxiety and it must be really difficult. i have a daughter at home who i only get to help with her home learning occasionally. this fatigue for children, as well, i think... the main message is that there is an end in sight. children will catch up. put a bit of trust in schools to know their children and to do that when we are able to get back. let’s when we are able to get back. let's end on that — when we are able to get back. let's end on that optimistic _ when we are able to get back. let's end on that optimistic note. tom prestwich, primary school teacher, thank you. prestwich,

this should be done by teachers, because if it was they would need to be extra funding, but to bring in a civil society, support groups, the charities, the mental health organisations, to help these students catch up notjust in terms of academic learning but the huge loss they have had, the mental health difficulties they have faced, the well—being activities and safeguarding hazards they have

suggesting is the school day would be extended so they can do more sporting activities, have mental health support and will being —— well—being support and will being —— well—being support and will being —— well—being support and if necessary have academic catch up. some schools are doing it already, 39% of schools who are academy chains have extended their school day. we note that if you do it, if you do have a longer school day, it has a massive impact on the attainment of children. it is improving their mental health to do those activities but also their academic learning, as well. the education endowment foundation says it improves their academic attainment by up to two months. flan attainment by up to two months. can i ask ou attainment by up to two months. can i ask you what the reaction you have had from teachers already as? we have got lots of teachers contacting us, some saying, iam have got lots of teachers contacting us, some saying, i am listening to these. my stomach

i'm saying is the schools will help or elect civil society in. as i mentioned, the mental health groups, the sporting groups, well—being groups, to come in and give those children extra sporting activities that they need. this would not put an extra burden on teachers if they didn't want that, it would bring in civil society and partly use the government catch up fund, £1 billion plus, to make it possible. latte government catch up fund, £1 billion plus, to make it possible.— plus, to make it possible. we spoke to the environment _ plus, to make it possible. we spoke to the environment

to the institute for fiscal studies. we need our schools open sooner rather than later. i have always followed the science, i am later. i have always followed the science, iam not later. i have always

transmit, iwould hope schools are safe to open and do not transmit, i would hope the government would consider at least opening primary schools after half term, or at least one or two years in those primary schools just to get our children back to school because however good the efforts of the teaching and support staff are in terms of remote learning, we know that the disadvantage learning the

ireland, tens of millions of pounds have also been put into catch—up schemes. the impact of the pandemic has been felt in every household up and down the country — with jobs lost and businesses going under in all parts of the economy. however, a new report out this morning, suggests government support has been unfairly skewed towards men — meaning women have been unfairly impacted. nina's looking at this one for us this morning. good morning. this is unsurprising, we have long _ good morning. this is unsurprising, we have long known _ good morning. this is unsurprising, we have long known that _ good morning. this is unsurprising, we have long known that women i good morning. this is unsurprising, we have long known that women do more at home, get paid less, that theirjobs are more vulnerable in a crisis. this has brought into sharp focus how quickly things get highly for women. mps have been looking at this in detail and there's a report out later by a cross—party group of mps which highlights how women's work and finances have been affected. so, furlough — the government scheme to support workers jobs and salaries. the report found that women are more likely to be employed on insecure contracts. as a result less likely to have their incomes topped up to 100% by their employer. it's estimated that close to two million people are out of work. and this report indicates that women are a third more likely to work in sectors like retail and hospitality which have been hardest hit by the lockdowns. and research shows that women spend two thirds more time on childcare than men. with schools closing that means their work much more likely to be compromised and even lost. the research says women spent two thirds more on childcare. sorry, i havejust told you thirds more on childcare. sorry, i have just told you that. also... that! the women and equalities committee, who wrote this report, spoke to lots of experts — including jolie brearley, who campaigns for fairer treatment of pregnant women and mothers. shejoins me now from york. good morning. we started by saying much of this is unsurprising. what domestic labour taken by women, lower pay, less secure contracts. interesting that the government schemes have been skewed towards men so have exacerbated this problem. how so from your perspective? yeah, we have seen — how so from your perspective? yeah, we have seen this _ how so from your perspective? yeah, we have seen this throughout - how so from your perspective? yeah, we have seen this throughout the - we have seen this throughout the pandemic. we know the government are investing in construction went the women's budget group have seen that if you invest in care you create 2.7 times as manyjobs. we have seen that with policies that have been rolled out, for example thejob retention scheme and the self employed income support scheme, which are fantastic and have saved the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, they have again been skewed towards men, so the self employed income support scheme, it is a lower payment if you have taken maternity leave in the last three years. we know that pregnant women and new mothers are the first in line for redundancy because there are no protections at the moment. enhanced protection is for women who are pregnant or have just returned from maternity leave when of course they will be first to be out of the door. —— enhanced protections for women. we would like to see the government do more to address these challenges. government do more to address these challenres. ., , ., , . ,

parents are women so obviously they will take a greater hit when schools are not fully open. 83% of care home workers are women. really it needs to start sooner in the types of careers men and women are looking towards. yeah, althourh we and women are looking towards. yeah, although we would _ and women are looking towards. yeah, although we would like _ and women are looking towards. yeah, although we would like to _ and women are looking towards. yeah, although we would like to see - although we would like to see actually that more value is placed on those careers that women do. we would like to see more investment in the care sector, women working in the care sector, women working in the care sector, be paid more comic be valued more for the work they do rather than trying to necessarily shoehorn women into men'sjobs. the whole infrastructure is not there to support women going back to work. we have the second most expensive childcare system in the world and our childcare system is currently on the brink of collapse. we are expecting to lose about one in four of our childcare places during this pandemic because the government has cut funding to the childcare sector during this pandemic. without childcare we will not be able to go to work so we need to see a lot more thought around flexible working, childcare, around paternity leave, and benefits that ensure women can get back into work now they have been pushed out of the workplace. latte been pushed out of the workplace. we have heard from lots of men, specifically self employed, who say, we just don't have the opportunity to look after our children in the way that women do when we go into paternity leave, for example. if we are on a higher salary it is not met. do we need to look at paternity rights being radically enhanced? absolutely. i was a little disappointed to not see that reflected in this report. paternity leave is critical. we will never have equality in the workplace until we have equality in the home and we know that paternity leave has hugely beneficial impacts for the well—being of children, for the well—being of children, for the well—being of children, for the well—being of fathers, and for women's careers. women are much more likely to earn more money over the long term men take time out in those early days. couples are much more likely to stay together. children are much more likely to do better in the education system. investing in eternity leave is an investment in families and if we compare paternity leave to other areas in the 0ecd, ours is really, really poor. france, germany, scandinavia all properly invest in paternity leave and see the benefits of doing so. jolie lzarearley. _ the benefits of doing so. jolie brearley, thank _ the

may be a benefit. i will have to hold onto your penguin portrait if you still have it because so many people have been sending them in. we will show some of them a little bit later. i am collecting

hundreds of you have been sending in your penguins. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. bailiffs have this morning begun to evict protesters, who are part of the highbury corner tree protection camp. we've been sent these images by one of the so—called tree protectors, who've been living in tree houses. islington council plans to take down some of the trees to make way for flats. the council claims it did everything to avoid taking legal and enforcement action. there's to be a referendum in south london in october, over whether croydon should have a directly elected mayor or not. it comes just months after the local authority took drastic action to stop most of its spending, due to the state of its finances. last night's decision follows a petition from local campaigners. it's estimated the referendum will cost over half a million pounds. many thousands of people have lost theirjobs during the pandemic, with some now doing work they'd never considered before. like matthew, who spent years in the aviation industry before losing his job five months ago. but he says he considers himself lucky as he's now a shop worker in a supermarket. he's been telling us about his experience, and you can hear about it on our lunchtime news at 1.30 on bbc one. a house described as probably the skinniest house in london, is on the market forjust under a million pounds. the two—bedroom property, on goldhawk road in west london, measures less than six feet wide, and is spread over five floors. the estate agent says, "if you like the traditional, this is not for you. but if you like the quirky, come and see the home." let's take a look at the travel situation now. the bakerloo line has severe delays, due to a power supply fault. and the 0verground has a reduced service due to staff shortages. 0n the roads, the north circular is looking slow westbound from green lanes towards arnos grove. and pothole repairs on shooters hill road in south—east london are causing delays there. now the weather with elizabeth. good morning. it's another bitterly cold start to the day across the capital, with temperatures a good few degrees below freezing. some very icy conditions out there on the roads and the pavements today, and there's still a met office warning in place for snow, valid until midnight on wednesday. we're expecting these lines of snow showers to continue to track in from the east, and underneath these lines of showers there could be another few centimetres of snowfall on top of what we've already got. some places will stay relatively dry, and the snowfall will tend to be a bit lighter the further west you are, across those western home counties, of course. the winds are a touch lighter than they were yesterday, but still brisk, still very chilly, plenty of wind chill to factor into these temperatures, which will struggle once more to get above freezing. but some brighter spells, i think, for many of us as we head through the afternoon. now overnight tonight, again it's going to be a very cold one. the showers will continue, lows of minus four, minus five degrees celsius, perhaps. but wednesday is looking drier, with lighter winds. it will stay cold for the rest of the week. tune into bbc radio london. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and

in the last half an hour, england have won the first test against india in chennai, thanks to some sensational bowling. james anderson put england on top with what's being desribed as one of the greatest overs in test cricket, taking two wickets in three balls. he added another, before jack leach took his match tally to four. and it was left to joffra archer to wrap up the victory. england winning by a mammoth 227 runs. they go one—up in the four—match series. the fifth round of the fa cup gets underway tonight. burnley take on bournemouth, while manchester united host west ham. that

sadly seen over the past few weeks, notjust at manchester united were clubs across the country, and then abuse, particularly racist abuse of players. we have seen it with marcus rashford and other players. as a former player, what is your take and how it will affect them? will it affect them? can they block it out?— block it out? well, it will affect them, block it out? well, it will affect them. yeah- — block it out? well, it will affect them, yeah. if— block it out? well, it will affect them, yeah. if it _ block it out? well, it will affect them, yeah. if it keeps - block it out? well, it will affect them, yeah. if it keeps on i block it out? well, it will affect i them, yeah. if it keeps on happening in happening and happening like it has done. we were talking about this subject five years ago. we were talking about the subject three years ago. and we are still talking about exactly the same thing. so, do something about it. the government or the social channels, do something about it. stop it. i mean, it's not simple, but that is the answer to it. we can't keep saying something has to be done. we have said it many years ago and nothing is being done and it keeps happening. it is about time the government and the social channels dated and stopped it. how do they stop — channels dated and stopped it. how do they stop it? _ channels dated and stopped it. how do they stop it? they _ channels dated and stopped it. how do they stop it? they govern - channels dated and stopped it. how do they stop it? they govern it i do they stop it? they govern it better than

better than what they do and l do they stop it? they govern it i better than what they do and stamp down on it. if nothing happens, as we have seen the case with ian wright recently, if nothing happens, thenit wright recently, if nothing happens, then it will continue to happen. so something has to be done to draw the line and say, ok, we are going to puta line and say, ok, we are going to put a stop to this and not allow it. i want to talk about something else close to your heart, that is the management of head injuries in sport. we have seen several footballers recently talking to the government about how to manage that. is that a move in the right direction?— is that a move in the right direction? ., ,, . ., direction? yeah, i think so. we now know there — direction? yeah, i think

_ direction? yeah, i think so. we now know there is a risk of dementia. i i know there is a risk of dementia. i mean, the task is now to do something for a change, notjust count numbers. that means cutting impact during a playing career and certainly getting better at recognising and managing the injury. now we turn our attention to do all we can to address that risk in midlife. there is huge amount of work going on. huge research going on. but it now, at last, it seems as if people are starting to listen and change is going to happen. we are seeinr change is going to happen. we are seeing

is a risk of dementia. so football clubs and the authorities are and will be looking at certainly reducing the amount of heading. it will be very difficult in games to do that. but certainly in training. that, i'm sure, will happen. i know another thing _ that, i'm sure, will happen. i know another thing you _ that, i'm sure, will happen. i know another thing you have _ that, i'm sure, will

centre here in newcastle. we have got sensory rooms, we have hydrotherapy pools, cinema rooms. we give it away for nothing. or to give it away for nothing that cost around £250,000 a year. i thought, nothing that cost around £250,000 a year. ithought, i have got nothing that cost around £250,000 a year. i thought, i have got to give something special away to try and raise the funds that are needed. and so i decided to give my top and my boots that i wore in a game against manchester city many years ago when i scored my 250th premier league goal. that is on my social channels if you would like to enter that prize draw. the reaction to it has just been amazing. i think the last time i love that it was over £65,000 and counting. so hopefully, we can interest a few people and keep on raising some much needed funds. bringing to talk to you. lovely to talk to you, as ever. i cannot wait to see how many coats you are going to see how many coats you are going to wear tonight. is there

kept on slipping to —15.6. now it is starting to climb. it is —15.1. but you can see the current temperatures over the lying snow in scotland are pretty low. the same in northern and then. south—west thing and, —1i. in belfast, —i. south—west thing and, —1i. in belfast, —1. temperature is continuing to rise a little bit. we have got heavy snow still in the forecast. the met office has still got that amber weather warning in force across parts of central scotland. we could see a further five to ten centimetres of snow before this expires later on tonight. twice that amount on higher ground. so the likelihood of disruption is quite likely. a lot of snout showers have been falling as we have gone through the course of the morning. this is the radar pictures showing this now. it is not just in scotland. we have seen them in northern ireland, northern england and wales. that would continue through the course of the day. snow showers being blown along on a brisk wind. they are showers. that means we won't all see them. many of us will stay dry with some decent spells of sunshine. i mention the gusty winds. they are gusty. represented by the black circles. the strongest will be across the south—west abingdon. also across the english channel. particularly so with exposure. temperature wise to date there is no heatwave, i can tell you that for nothing. freezing to plus two. when you add on the strength of the wind, well, it is going to feel more like —5, —6. but if we zoom down to the south—west and see what is happening there, we have got a weather front close by that could bring in some rain, possibly some snow. look how it will feel with that went against your skin. —10 in the south—west, —8 in the channel islands. this evening and overnight at the winds slowly started to ease. they will be a plethora of showers. still wintry in nature. the risk of ice. a cold night. —15 in parts of the highlands and the grampians. what about the rest of the week? on wednesday, you can see this low pressure anchored in the atlantic with its attendant fronts. high pressure effectively blocking it from reaching our shores. on wednesday, further snow showers from the north sea, the winds north—easterly, the distribution of those showers will be slightly different. it will still be slightly different. it will still be a cold day. a lot of dry weather. and some sunshine. on thursday there will be a lot of dry weather around with that sunshine, just a few showers, wintry in the east. it is what is happening towards the west, look at how the cloud builds. you start to see some snow coming in with some rain. we have got a battle of mild atlantic air versus cold air from the near continent. the source of this is the arctic coming over the cold north sea, and we think at this stage, by the end of this week and even into next week, it will remain cold. we keep out the big hats, the coats, the gloves, the heated socks. thank you. i the gloves, the heated

with stage or screen. hugh has joined the army of vaccine volunteers helping to roll out covid jabs, and he kindly let us see him in action. morning. good morning, good morning. lovely to see you. welcome. well done. table for one? thanks for bringing the sunshine. i could do valet parking now, i reckon. i get to wear a hi—vis and be very bossy, and go, "oi!" no, just to welcome people, as i'm about to do. good morning, sir. welcome. so, it's, eh, just about 7:30, and we are about to enter where the midhurst pharmacy has set up its vaccination hub. first thing of the day is sign in. your badge is up there. here we are backstage. oh, it takes me back. these have all been sort of disinfected since the last shift. there we are. welcome, welcome, welcome. so, week two. week one went really, really well. there's about 80 willing volunteers on the rota. let's see, only a fraction of those have been used. but the capacity is there. everybody is gearing up. ah, morning. nice to see you. welcome, welcome. we'll be with you in a few minutes. for some people, it's the first time they've been out of their house in... ..in, you know, a year. you know, we've had people who've really been grateful for the outing as much as anything, and the sense of a glimmer of hope. so, it's great to be part of this team effort. the job for the marshall is, eh, you know, we're the sort of customer facing. so, there's a lot of apprehension and nervousness around the elderly community. they haven't socialised for a long time, some of them. so, actually, we're — for some for some of them we're the first point of contact. so, erm, so we give them a bit of fun and a bit of humourjust to relax them before they go into the hall, and they come out with a spring in their step. so it's brilliant. very helpful, very reassuring, yes. very efficient. the staff are fantastic. so, really good job. you say you haven't noticed it was him? no, too early in i the morning for that. he looks like a coal miner instead of an actor. - i like downton. i've got a selfie with him! yeah, you see, this helps. you get the odd, eh, you know, marmalade sandwich thrown at you. you can set up a thousand of these, but it's the volunteers, it's the people who work in there, that actually stand it up. without them, it wouldn't work at all. obviously it's best to keep it local. it's something that we want to put back into the community. a lot of people have been furloughed or they've been out of work. and this is such an uplifting thing to do. we wanted to keep it very local and let those people experience that. well done. success. it's tangible. you know, it's palpable, the sense of relief. well, it's not relief, because it's not over, but the sense of hope. and to be part of that is really lovely. yeah, of course it is. good morning. welcome. how are you? he is not alone in volunteering. so many thousands of people have volunteered. sam ward is from the royal voluntary service,
