on exports to the eu. # baby, baby...# and mary wilson, one of the founding members of the supremes, dies at the age of 76. we will talk to one of her friends. hello and welcome, if you're watching in the uk or around the world. all travellers entering britain will be have to take two coronavirus tests while they are quarantining, in an attempt to track new cases or variants entering the country. the department of health said the new testing regime "will provide a further level of protection". travellers arriving in the uk will still be required to show proof of a negative covid test taken within 72 hours of theirjourney, and then quarantine for ten days upon arrival. it comes as surge testing is to be introduced in parts of manchester, after four cases of a new mutation of the kent variant were found. volunteers will go door—to—door, with more than 10,000 tests planned in the last half an hour, figures from the office for national statistics show 9,010 covid deaths were registered in the uk in the week to 29th january. but as the more recent daily death figures show, that should start to fall. meanwhile, the nhs covid—19 app has told 1.7 million people in england and wales to self—isolate since it was launched, with researchers saying they believe it has prevented around 600,000 cases. charlotte wright has this. 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 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 good 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 political correspondent, chris mason, is at westminster. how will the tests were, chris? the plan is that people arriving will have to take a test on days two and days eight of their quarantine, quarantining at home if they are from a lower risk countries, quarantining from next monday in those government provided hotel rooms that the traveller has to pick up rooms that the traveller has to pick up the tab for if you are coming in from those countries on the red list, primarily in south america and southern africa. you will get the hint that the encouragement from the government here is, do not travel. going on holiday at the moment is illegal, but people are able to travel for work —based reasons, but the government, responding to political pressure and the advice from scientists, that the logical position to take now, so goes the argument, is minimise travel, even further. drive it down even further. it is at a considerably lower level thanit it is at a considerably lower level than it would be normally, but you insert additional barriers to make people really asked that question whether it is worthwhile. because the pfaff factor is clearly significant, the cost factor pretty high as well because the rule will be that you have to have the gold standard pcr test, which is pretty expensive, you will have to pay for it, more than £100 a go. if you work out how many tests you have to do, a test before you get on a plane to fly to the uk, a test on day two and a test on day eight eight and you may choose to take one on day five to get out early, but you still have to get out early, but you still have to do day eight, that is proven quite expensive and that is before any tests you do before you leave the uk to go to where ever you have gone to before you fly back. qm. gone to before you fly back. 0k, thank you _ gone to before you fly back. 0k, thank you

of china's national health commission insisted that the authorities had extended full support to the who team. he said the scientists had not been able to clearly establish links between bats and pangolins to the coronavirus, though the animals remained a potential source of the outbreak. who team members are yet to speak. 0ur correspondent, stephen mcdonell, is in wuhan. does it go back to

says that at the moment, they can't establish how the coronavirus got into that market. that maybe it came from an animal source, but also, they are talking about the possibility of surviving on cold storage. he said some studies show that the coronavirus can survive in these frozen or very cold surfaces for a very long time. he didn't say how long that was. but i guess the suggestion is that it could have travelled from elsewhere via cold storage and somehow entered that market in wuhan in that way. the who team also visited _ market in wuhan in that way. the who team also visited a _ market

from an animal, perhaps via another animal into human beings, and this being the most likely to be bats and pangolins, but other animals also like cats as seen as being able to carry the virus. they say they are not sure and more work needs to be donein not sure and more work needs to be done in this area. also, that more work needs to be done to find out how it got into that market. interestingly, they say they can't find three december 2019, any evidence at all of why it spread —— of widespread transmission in wuhan. —— pre—december. so it started at that point and they say they can't track it back any further at the moment. i guess that means it either started then or it has come from somewhere else in china, or i guess they are open to the possibility it started somewhere overseas and has travelled to china.— travelled to china. thank you very much. travelled to china. thank you very much- reporting _ travelled to china. thank you very much. reporting from _ travelled

unconfirmed reports that live ammunition has also been used. these are pictures from today's protests in yangon, where water cannon has been used against protesters. the authorities have also extended areas where gatherings are restricted. it comes as new zealand is suspending all high—level contact with the military authorities in myanmar, who took power in a coup last week. 0ur south east asia correspondent is following the developments and says the demonstrations show no sign of abating. we saw the police over the weekend and yesterday doing very little really, just the odd clash. this time, they're more organised, more determined. we see water cannon, tear gas in mandalay, and these shots — and it isn't clear whether they are live — they are certainly using rubber bullets, small—calibre rubber bullets, which cause nasty injuries, and there certainly have been some people injured. there is a report that one woman may have died, but that has not yet been confirmed. it's a different approach, but still not really trying to break the protests up, reallyjust trying to hold a line in the big cities to stop them moving on. in other places, we've seen police simply stand aside and let people through, and there have been a number of very well—publicised cases now of police officers actually going over and joining the protesters and leaving their own ranks, though those are very small in number. we're not quite clear what the police strategy is here because, of course, by using water cannon and by risking injuries with the use of rubber bullets, they're simply going to create more grievances to bring more people out on the streets, this doesn't really control it. and completely missing, although you do see them sometimes in the background, are soldiers, the real power in myanmar, and probably the force that will ultimately decide whether to let this run or whether to use much more serious force to bring it to a halt. this is a very, very big act of defiance against the coup. we simply can't keep across the number of protests. they are all over the country, in very small towns, a few of them are quite sizeable again. the headlines on bbc news: all

supremes — whose music was a defining sound of the 1960s. wilson was just 15, living in detroit, when she launched the group and remained part of the trio until its dissolution in 1977. her publicist said she died suddenly in las vegas and her funerals will be private due to covid restrictions. just two days before her death, uploaded a video on youtube announcing that she was working on releasing new solo material. the founder of record label motown — berry gordy — issued a statement to commemorate her. he wrote: "i was extremely shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of a major member of the motown family, mary wilson of the supremes. she was a trailblazer, a diva and will be deeply missed." let's speak now with frank marino — he was a personal friend of mary wilson. iam i am really sorry for your loss, tell us about your wonderful friend, mary wilson. she was a wonderful lady, truly supreme. today, i got a late christmas gift in the mail from her. it is this album and it is really strange, it is called time to move on. that is really eerie. she called me the other day telling me she had tried to send this package out two times and it came back with the wrong address. we corrected the address and she sent it out and i got it. but while we were talking, i said, we should go to lunch. it was very strange because she said, i am waiting to do a few tests in the doctor's office and as soon as that is done, we can do it. i said, fantastic. i don't understand why you are waiting. she says, they couldn't get me and until such a date. i was like, you are mary wilson, how could you not get in? i gave her my concierge doctor and said, sign up with them and you get in within an hour and it would be easy and that is what you need to have. we had this bizarre conversation which we never would have before about doctors and what have before about doctors and what have you. and tonight, i got the gift in the mail and i went online to say thank you, to text her thank you, and then it popped up she had passed. and when i tell you i am still in shock, i got a knot in my chest. just very, very sad. the world has lost a great entertainer. absolutely, berry gordy said she

gifts in the mail constantly from her. her girls were on tour in london for a while. the world is going to be saddened when they wake in america to hear this tomorrow. let's talk about the music. she was a young teenager when she formed this group. the music, i mean, the true testament of brilliant music is whether it lasts and, of course, it has gone through the 1960s, the 19705, has gone through

diana ross and the supremes. to be able to become that close of a friend with mary wilson is very crazy. in my show, it is called divas, we did the supremes. when she would come in and we would have the supremes on stage, she would jump on the stage with them and do the stop in their name of love. and just be part of the fun. she was never a grand diva, she was a fun diva. hagar grand diva, she

after that. i dragged her to the craziest places, i took her to the craziest places, i took her to a pyjama branch on new year's day one time where we had to get in pyjamas and she always played along. she had relatives in her hair and the bathrobe. it was so much fun, she was never a stick in the mud. she was always by herself, she would drive everywhere by herself, she went to the post office by herself, she told me. and i am shocked. because she was in such high spirits and so alive the other day that i can't even imagine that right now, i am probably not even getting it all in my head, it probably won't be until tomorrow when it registers. it is going to be tough because i absolutely adored this woman that was just a great person. absolutely adored this woman that wasjust a

deals with any country that the high court rules is committing genocide. last month, 311 tories rebelled to back the amendment, amid reports of abuses being carried out against uighur muslims in china's xinjiang province. mp5 from all parties are hoping to push through this change, but the government is working hard to avoid defeat. an independent tribunal in britain is aiming to establish whether the chinese government's alleged rights abuses against uighur muslims constitute genocide. sir geoffrey nice qc is chair of the independent panel and joins me now. thank you for speaking to

institutions declined to ask and answer a question to which the public needs an answer, as in this case. and the best way of doing that is indeed to have evidence, to have it produced in public at hearings, and of course to rely in addition of necessity on a body of written material, which will also be fully available to the public. the tribunal itself is a tribunal of, in a sense, citizens. but recruited or gathered in this case in order to represent a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, not a tribunal of lawyers, ngos, specialists or anything like that, a white background of people

but one of the things that the government i believe is proposing at the moment is that rather than put the issue of what the people's republic of china may have done to the uighurs to an englishjudge, which is the proposition in lord alton's amendment, it should be handed over to a judicial committee, not a judicial committee, parliamentary committee. that is an example of how a body has no power at all because such, to in the past had made pronouncements about genocide, for example, into the ucd women, and the government has done nothing. so there are various bodies that can be completely powerless, different from a people's tribunal. —— ucd women. —— you cds. this will leave a record of certainty, a fact that it will then be for those who don't have responsibilities, whether they are universities, travel services industries, governments. a fact that they must take into consideration in making the decisions that they have responsibly to make. and that is what this kind of process can do. and it is not lacking in value or importance. and it is not lacking in value or importance-— and it is not lacking in value or imortance. ., ,, i. , . and it is not lacking in value or

government shares the grave concerns about human rights abuses in xinjiang behind lord alton's amendment, and understands the strength of feeling on this issue. however, lord alton's amendment could embroil the courts in the formulation of trade policy and conduct of international relations, and risks undermining the separation of powers. the new amendment put forward by chair of the justice select committee addresses the concerns raised and empowers parliamentarians to take a stand on credible reports of genocide by a prospective trade partner, while placing a specific duty on government to act." the mother of a young man who was stabbed to death in north london is calling on the prime minister to help her getjustice for her son. 22—year—old sven badzak had campaigned for borisjohnson's mayoral campaign alongside his mother back in 2008, and was training to be a lawyer. he and his 16—year—old friend were attacked as they fled from a group of males on saturday. no arrests have been made. we can talk to sven's mum, jasna badzak, now. mrs badzak, thank you for talking to us at this time and i am so, so sorry for your loss. thank you, victoria. i know you want to

that correct? 1a: absolutely. please stop tarnishing his name because he was not running away from anybody. they came to that conclusion yesterday, after a pathology inquest was done. and they found out from the pathologist that six people were there. at least three different knives were used. sven was standing in front of the bakery to have his food made, his bagel made. they found seven centimetres, a huge force stab wound, going all the way through him. additional three wounds on his lower back. on the backside. and not a single, even a scratch on his hands. he didn't even come my poor child didn't even have his hands used to protect himself. himself. he was just standing and his football friend was passing by and he stopped to wait for him. and that is why the younger kid is in the hospital and my son is dead. and police had even an opportunity to prevent it because eight criminals were standing across the road from sven with knives. a police car passed by leisurely. and it did nothing. the reason you said the police had tarnished his name was because they used the words altercation, your son was involved in an altercation and they got that from a statement they took

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

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. a computer hacker has tried to poison the water supply of a town in florida. the hacker accessed the software of a treatment plant in 0ldsmar and tried to increase the amount of sodium hydroxide in the water by a factor of more than 100, but the attempt was spotted and blocked. no arrests have been made and police are not sure if the attack came from within the us, or abroad. mary wilson, who co—founded the supremes and remained a member of the group until they split up, has

simply not getting the normal deliveries from the uk, and it's being blamed on post—brexit bureaucracy at the dover to calais border. the shops have sold out of everything british, and one store hasn't had a single delivery since the end of december. gavin lee reports. living in belgium, the food is great, i come here for biscuits, it is the one place where many people come for a taste of home, post—brexit bureaucracy means it isn't sorry state. stone manor, 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 need 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 product 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. northern europe is in the grip of snowstorms, poland, germany the netherlands and the uk have plunging temperatures and widespread travel disruption. it seems like an

channel, snow warnings are in place for parts of the uk. people have been told not to travel and some skills and coronavirus vaccination centres are closed. the vast expanse of the yorkshire dales turned completely white. snow may bring disruption and delay, but it brings beauty too. here, it may be too cold to venture out of the house today, but the cold weather does sometimes have its benefits. the freezing conditions have allowed commuters in london today to be treated to the rare sight of trafalgar square's fountains, covered in icicles. the water that usually flows out of them froze overnight, to create these beautiful displays. spare a thought for canadians who have seen temperatures of —35 and -50 have seen temperatures of —35 and —50 degrees celsius overnight. this is boiling water turning to ice crystals when thrown into the air. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. we have just had the coldest night of this winter so far. in altnaharra in sutherland, temperatures fell to —15.1. staying in scotland, the met office still has this amber weather warning in force for heavy snow. across parts of central scotland, disruption is likely, widely we could see five to ten centimetres of snow by the time this warning ends at nine o'clock. 0n higher ground, even twice that amount. but elsewhere, we've got a lot of snow showers coming in on the gusty winds from the north sea. they are showers, but not all of us will see them. in between, there will be some sunshine, but, as i mentioned, the gusty winds you can see what i'm talking about, the strongest today through the english channel and around the southwest. temperatures looking at zero to about three degrees, add on the wind chill, will feel below freezing, so —6, for example, in birmingham. you can see this little area here. this looks like we are going to see some rain, possibly some snow in the channel islands into the south—west, but it might sink further south. but what you will notice is, with that wind—chill, it will feel more like —10 in parts of south—west england. as we head on through the evening and overnight, the snow showers continue. the winds will slowly start to ease. there will be a lot of clear skies. there's a risk of ice on untreated surfaces and you can see another cold night in prospect in the highlands and grampian once again. you will see temperatures fall to —15. now, on wednesday, we've got this low pressure in the atlantic. it's effectively been blocked by this area of high pressure that is dominating our weather at the moment. so, on wednesday, we are looking at further snow showers coming in across eastern areas. the wind coming from more of a north—easterly, so the distribution of those showers slightly different, but a lot of dry weather and still feeling cold. as we head into thursday, still a lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine, one or two snow showers affecting some eastern areas, but cast your eyes out to the west where the cloud is building, some snow is arriving and some rain. still a cold day in prospect across the board, but temperatures plus three out towards the west. what is happening is we've got a battle between the milder atlantic air as we head towards the end of the week, and the cold air coming in across the near continent, its source is the arctic moving across the continent into our shores. at the moment, it looks like the cold air is going to win. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11... all travellers arriving in the uk will be required to take two covid tests while they're self isolating for ten days. many say its long overdue. no one was there, no one was checking me. it was very distressing, to be honest. i was not triumphant about it. i was not triumphant about it. after a factfinding mission in wuhan, the who say the controversial theory that covid—i9 came from a laboratory is extremely unlikely. the second impeachment trial of donald trump will begin later in the us senate. the former president is charged with inciting insurrection after his supporters stormed the capitol building injanuary. no custard creams or baked beans at british supermarkets in europe due to major supply problems because of post—brexit rules on exports to the eu. and mary wilson, one of the founding members of the supremes, has died at the age of 76. all travellers entering the uk will be have to take two coronavirus tests while they are quarantining, in an attempt to track new cases or variants entering the country. the department of health said the new testing regime "will provide a further level of protection". travellers arriving in the uk will still be required to show proof of a negative covid test taken within 72 hours of theirjourney, and then quarantine for ten days upon arrival. it comes as surge testing is to be introduced in parts of manchester after four cases of a new mutation of the kent variant were found. volunteers will go door—to—door, with more than 10,000 tests planned. this morning, figures from the office for national statistics show 9,010 covid deaths were registered in the uk in the week to 29th january, but as the more recent daily figures show, that should start to fall. meanwhile the nhs covid—i9 app has told 1.7 million people in england and wales to self—isolate since it was launched, with researchers saying they believe it has prevented around 600,000 cases. charlotte wright has this. 0k? 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 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 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. earlier, we heard from freelance journalist sharon feinstein, who arrived back in the uk yesterday following a trip tojohannesburg. she said she was through border controls in ten minutes without checks. i had a folder full of documents, i had my passenger locatorform, i had my test, my negative covid test, i had various other things — proof as to why i had travelled in the first place, which was in november. and i was through in ten minutes, as you said. no one was there, no one was checking me. it was very distressing to be honest. i looked around, people are waving people in this direction and that direction. and then i did the electronic transport and i was through. i was in the arrivals hall within tenets. ——within ten minutes. i'd expected to be an hour, as i was when i arrived in south africa, because they didn't check everything. so i was shocked and, as i say, i wasn't triumphant, i was very saddened because of what we are going through. because of how desperate the situation is. the fourth highest death rate in the world, let's get a grip. we are doing all this, we are spending all this money to go around testing people who may have the south african strain, and i could be incubating it. how do we know how many people i infected at the airport? not only that, i was on that little passenger train from where i got off to the customs, and we were crammed together like sardines. there was no one to enforce social distancing. i thought, if i'm going to get the virus anywhere, it will be at heathrow. on this case, a home office spokesperson said, "all passengers must have proof of a negative test before they board a flight to the uk and they must isolate when they arrive. all scheduled flights have 100% checks both upstream by the carrier, but also by front line staff at airports." they have also added that this case is being looked into. our political correspondent nick eardley is at westminster. it just itjust adds to all of the discussion around how stringent the checks are. we are going to be hearing from the health secretary later about tough new measures. tell us what is expected. i later about tough

allowed to travel at the moment. there are only a few exemptions allowed as things stand. but for those who are travelling into the country, the main concern that ministers have is making sure some of the variance we have been talking about that are not really in the uk yet but are in other countries are not brought in. we already know that from next week, if you come from some of those red listed countries, you will have to quarantine in a hotel, designated by the government. more details on the one that means from the health secretary in a couple of hours. we'll also hear of more restrictions for more people as well. you have to take a test to get on a plane to the uk and show that within 72 hours before getting a flight that you have had a negative test. we are expecting health secretary to say that when you arrive in the uk, you are nagging to have to take two tests during your quarantine period within eight days of coming into the uk. on day one and eight. all to show that those who have come in from abroad, the new variants are caught. the question and one of the concerns we will hear from question and one of the concerns we will hearfrom some question and one of the concerns we will hear from some tory mps and potentially from the aviation industry as well is how long will this last? that is a huge potential cost for people who are travelling and it means that potentially there are a few hundred pounds extra for getting those tests and it makes things complicated. once you introduce rules like that, if the virus is still spreading around the world, it is hard to get rid of them. i suspect some people will be looking to the health secretary to say, what is the criteria for lifting these sanctions at some point as well?— lifting these sanctions at some oint as

chinese city of wuhan to try to find out how coronavirus originated. the who's peter ben embarek said evidence was found of the virus circulating outside a market in december 2019, and that the theory it leaked from a lab is "extremely unlikely". our initial findings suggest that the introduction through an intermediary host species is the most likely pathway and one that will require more studies and more specific targeted research. similarly, and connected to this type of disease, is also the one including the possibility of transmission through the trade of frozen cold chain products. david heymann is professor of infectious disease epidemiology at london school of hygiene and tropical medicine and chairs the who's advisory group for infectious hazards. hejoins me now. welcome. thank you

an rna virus and it will continue to mutate and develop variants, matterwhere continue to mutate and develop variants, matter where it is transmitting, because these are accidents that occur when it reproduces in humans. we need good systems to detect variants and make sure they are in no way escaping protection from vaccine. borders are not the way that you can stop all of these diseases, these variants from occurring. they occur within countries and can cross borders, as we heard earlier, in people who may be infected and not picked up at the border. , ,., . be infected and not picked up at

testing and testing before flights are used to make sure those on the flight are not transmitting to one another. that is one issue related to testing. another is testing after people arrived and if they are tested faithfully, after they arrived, and then five or eight days later, it can be determined whether or not they were infected in the previous week or so. it is very important that these testing strategies be used for the right purpose and, at the same time, if there is a positive, that there be action to ensure the positive person understands how to protect others from their infection and how to seek help if they need it. do effectively, _ help if they need it. do effectively, though, get to a position where we manage to control the virus to whatever extent within our own

we have excellent diagnostic tests that are getting better each day. we have are getting better each day. we have a therapeutic that can be used to treat infection and we have vaccines. the problem of vaccines is we do not know whether they decrease transmission. they certainly prevent a serious illness and death, but we are still waiting to understand whether they decrease transmission. if they do, it will make a big difference in how vaccines are used in the future, being used in populations were transmission rates are greatest. populations were transmission rates are greatest-— are

lastjune orjuly in european countries, they opened up everything and as a result, the areas where transmission was a caring trip —— continually was happening. following the asian model, doing good

does that hold true for this as far as we can see? certainly, that is a good hypothesis. these viruses mutate in such a way where they can increase or decrease their ability to transmit. they can also mutate in a way that makes them more virulent or less virulent. this is all random events and we do not know what will happen, but as you have said, viruses want to survive and adapt so they can proliferate in the best way possible stop that includes hopefully not killing the people who they may infect. we have four other which may have acted the same when they emerged and are now in the

quarantine. traveljournalistjill starley—grainger and abta spokesman sean tipton will be here to answer your questions. that's at 3:30 this afternoon. get in touch with the hashtag #bbcyourquestions — or you can text 61124 — or you email yourquestions@bbc.co.uk the headlines on bbc news... all travellers arriving in the uk will be required to take two covid tests while they're self—isolating for 10 days. scientists from the world health organization who travelled to wuhan to investigate the origins of the virus say it is "extremely unlikely" to have emerged as a result of an incident in a laboratory. the second impeachment trial of donald trump will begin later in the us senate. the former president is charged with inciting insurrection after his supporters stormed the capitol building injanuary. 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, during covid restrictions, throwing or attending a party for multiple households is a crime in itself and the police are breaking them up every day. our 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. let's just be honest... 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, ——being 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. 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 online grocer ocado has reported a 35% rise in sales over the past year because of the pandemic. despite the increase, the company recorded a net loss of £411 million. ocado says it believes the shift to online shopping for food has happened quicker than expected and it believes many people's shopping habits will have changed for good. since the pandemic hit, government policies have repeatedly skewed towards men and it keeps happening, so say mps on the women and equalities select committee, who also believe that women's equality could be set back years by the pandemic. many women are working in sectors that have been decimated during the pandemic, including travel, beauty and retail. katie guise is a hair stylist who lives and works in essex. usually, she's in a salon twice a week

american singer mary wilson has died at the age of 76. wilson was a founding member of the supremes, whose music was a defining sound of the 1960s. wilson was 15, living in detroit, when she launched the group and remained part of the trio until its dissolution in 1977. her publicist said she died suddenly in las vegas and herfuneral will be private due to covid restrictions. just two days before her death, wilson uploaded a video on youtube announcing that she was working on releasing new solo material. the founder of record label motown, berry gordy, issued a statement to commemorate her. he wrote, "i was extremely shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of a major member of the motown family, mary wilson of the supremes. she was a trailblazer, a diva and will be deeply missed". frank marino is a personal friend of mary wilson and says he'd been talking to her recently. today, i actually got a late christmas gift in the mail from her that she had sent me. it is actually this album. it is really strange because it is called time to move on. that is really eerie. but she had called me the other day telling me how she had been trying to send the package out and it had kept returning with the wrong address. we corrected the address and she sent it out and i got it. while we were talking, i said, it out and i got it. while we were talking, isaid, we it out and i got it. while we were talking, i said, we should go to lunch. it was strange because she said, i'm waiting to do a few tests at the doctor's office and sooner we can, we will do it. and i said, i do not understand why you are waiting. she said, they cannot get me in until such and such a date. i said, you are mary wilson, how could they not get you in? i gave her my doctor's address and then we had this bizarre conversation about doctors and what have you. tonight, i got this gift in the mail and i went online to say thank you, text thank you, and then it popped up that she had passed, and i am really still in shock. i have a knot in my chest now and i'm very sad. the world has lost a great entertainer. may be on stage she was a diva, in the good sense of the word that she was just so glamorous and the supremes were not stars, they were superstars. they had it all. mary, at home, the most down to earth person, and she would call me and say, do i have your address wrong? she sent me a beautiful little christmas card with it. she said, yes, we will go to lunch. she had just, priorto yes, we will go to lunch. she had just, prior to that, sent me her book. i was getting gifts in the mail constantly from her. they were in london for a while, and the world will be saddened when they wake in america and hear this tomorrow. it is sad news. the passing of where we met mary wilson from the supremes. —— the passing of mary wilson. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello, again. it's another cold day in prospect, following on from a cold night. in fact, it was the coldest night of this winter so far — temperatures in altnaharra at minus 15.1 celsius. we still have this amber weather warning from the met office in force. it's valid until nine o'clock tonight. further heavy snow is likely across parts of central scotland with disruption also likely. we've got snow showers in other parts of the country, as well, being blown in on a gusty wind, but they are showers, so not all of us will see them. in—between, there will be some sunshine, but wherever you are it is going to feel cold. now, the gusts of wind are going to be particularly strong today through the english channel and the south—west. in the south—west and the channel islands, we've got a front lurking close by and, indeed, that may well produce a little bit of rain, possibly some snow. but it may not, it may sink further south. these are the temperatures widely outside, freezing to plus three. add on the strength of the wind and the wind—chill and it will feel cold. hello this is bbc news with joanna gosling. the headlines: the government is to set out new rules requiring people who travel to the uk to have two coronavirus tests during their io—day period of self—isolation. scientists from the world health organization who travelled to wuhan to investigate the origins of the virus say it is "extremely unlikely" to have emerged as a result of an incident in a laboratory. the impeachment trial of donald trump will get under way later. he's accused of inciting the january attack on the capitol building by a crowd of his supporters. no custard creams or baked beans at british supermarkets in europe — major supply problems are resulting in empty shelves as a result of post—brexit rules on exports to the eu. # so deep in love with you. # baby, baby #. and mary wilson, one of the founding members of the supremes, has died at the age of 76. sport now and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jon watson. good morning. james anderson inspired england to a famous victory over india in the first test in chennai, a spell of devastating bowling paving the way for a 227 run win. 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 . 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. it is always nice to see the sums cart wheeling out of the ground, it doesn't happen very often at my age, so really happy that it did today. just topped off a really good performance throughout the five days. i thought it was a really solid and complete performance from the whole team. britain'sjohanna konta is up against the slovenian qualifier kaja juvan. she is

despite saying she didn't feel as fit as usual after her 14—day quarantine. she beat kristyna pliskova in two tie—break sets. but franjones, at the top of the screen, has been knocked out in herfirst match in the main draw of a grand slam. she performed well in the opening set against the american shelby rogers, but she couldn't keep pace in the second, losing 6—4, 6—1. cameron norrie has beaten dan evans in a match between the only two british men in the draw. it was a really tight contest, with norrie coming through in four sets. online abuse in football has become such a huge problem that 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 him and his family. it came after he gave west ham's tomas soucek a red card on saturday. 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 prosecute route. it's the only way we can go now. it's been going on forfar too long. the fifth round of the fa cup gets under way tonight and you can watch manchester united against west ham live on bbc one. manchester united knocked out liverpool in the last round and they've also been impressive in the premier league recently. manager ole gunnar solskjaer says any progress is very welcome. 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. that's the next step for us in the development of this team. that's the next step for us in the development of this team. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. matt hancock is preparing to set out details of how people will be tested for coronavirus when the to the uk. we will bring you the announcement life of the house of commons when it happens at 12:30pm. travellers will be required to take two tests while quarantining in an attempt to prevent variants entering the country. gloria guevara is the chief executive of the world travel and tourism council and joins me now. welcome. thanks for joining welcome. thanks forjoining us. increasingly measures are being brought in around the world to restrict travel as people are concerned about the new variants entering their borders. what does this indicate for the future of travel? i this

most. we need some consistency of measures across the globe. consistency is very important. instead of assuming that an entire country is infected, we need to move to a risk—based agenda. we are not in favour of blanket quarantines. why is that? because of the impact it has on the sector. it creates uncertainty and changing the rules so often has an effect. ~ ., ., ., , ., effect. without

on arrival. we need to do multiple tests and as long as i am negative, and we have a nap here to choose i am negative for covert. following the protocols, wearing the mask, that helps. just quarantine for 100% of their rivals despite the vast majority not being positive, i think that doesn't help. as i say, we believe a regime of multiple testing is favourable. yes, quarantine is ok, but that is ok for people who tested positive. we need to figure out how we move from something that is invisible, to visible, so the people who are infected with the virus. testing is what will make that happen. australia is a good example to look out for countries that have shut the borders and effectively our covid free. they have only achieved that by shutting the borders. i free. they have only achieved

are they going to resume international travel? if you look at the cases of the hotel quarantines in new zealand, for instance, it is interesting because if you had two people with covert and 90 people without comfort, somehow others got infected. there are better cases in other countries where we have seen they have managed better and have been able to have some kind of mobility, so not only with lockdowns but also to have testing and just quarantines for people who tested negative. you cannot be closing your borders forever, right? the exit strategy in this case is crucial and i'm not sure that australia and new zealand have a clear path forward. there are cases like germany that we believe has done a betterjob, or iceland or greece as an example.— has done a betterjob, or iceland or

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. our 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. on 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. a computer hacker has tried to poison the water supply of a town in florida. the hacker accessed the software of a treatment plant in oldsmar and tried to increase the amount of sodium hydroxide in the water by a factor of more than 100, but the attempt was spotted and blocked. no arrests have been made and police are not sure if the attack came from within the us or abroad. there is lots more on the iplayer about this story including our correspondent aleem maqbool�*s special programme 'america: storming the capitol�* go to bbc dot co dot uk 'america: storming the capitol�*. american singer mary wilson has died at the age of 76. wilson was a founding member of the supremes, whose music was a defining sound of the 1960s. i'm joined now by our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. when you listen to music, its own so fresh. it reminds you of what an exceptional talent she and the others in the band had, started when she was only 15!— she was only 15! there is a strong ara ument she was only 15! there is a strong argument that — she was only 15! there is a strong argument that the _ she was only 15! there is a strong argument that the supremes i she was only 15! there is a strong argument that the supremes are | she was only 15! there is a strong i argument that the supremes are the most successful female cub of all time. in the us in the 1960s they had 12 number one singles. in the uk, it still stands, no female groupies have more top a0 singles, more than the spice girls, bananarama, even little mix. the supremes are absolutely huge. they were this example of what berry gordy, the pointer of motoring, hope to create, take an black soul music, giving it a shiny pop sophistication and selling it to white audiences around the world. when you look at the supremes, their image was part of the importance, as well. the fact he had his coordinating outfits. mary wilson has love doing that in recent years, during tours of the supremes cosmic outfits and taking them around the united states. let’s them around the united states. let's listen to some _ them around the united states. let's listen to some of _ them around the united states. let's listen to some of the _ them around the united states. let's listen to some of the music. music. as she was staying, such a polished group, such a polished sound, polished look. she was 15 when they came together. how did they come together? was it alchemy amongst them or was it an externalforce? it them or was it an external force? it was organic. it happened at high school. they started hanging out with the group that would become the temptations. the new smoky robinson. everyone in detroit knew each other. they got together with berry gordy and became this pop sensation. diana ross quipped to have this hugely successful solo career. it is important when you're talking about mary wilson to talk about the long—standing battle she did have with diana ross. if you read her autobiography, the first chapter is all about how in 1983 they got together for the motown 25 tv spectacular and she said that during the recording of it diana ross knocked the microphone away from her mouth. in 1988, when they became the first female group ever to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, it is telling that mary wilson turned up on diana ross didn't. in 2,000, when diana ross was trying to get them back together for the reunion tour, it didn't happen because she wanted to earn three times more money than barry wilson. maybe on a day like this, the best thing to do is just return to those records and just rejoice in the great, great grip that she was part of in the 1960s and 1970s. whenever these bands spent so much time together, the rivalry it feels an inevitable part. just looking at that group of vibrant women, you would hope to think more of female solidarity, i would guess. mara; solidarity, iwould guess. mary wilson spoke _ solidarity, iwould guess. mary wilson spoke about _ solidarity, iwould guess. mary wilson spoke aboutjust - solidarity, i would guess. i— wilson spoke about just how hard wilson spoke aboutjust how hard they worked. every week there would either appear on a major gs talk show as the musical act, or they will play gigs at what were called supper clubs at the time. it was worth pointing out that the church the deep south during the 1960s and in mary wilson's autobiography she talks about having to put up with a lot of the segregation that was going on. although there were never seen as outspoken in the civil rights movement, they took part in fundraisers, and they were there at martin luther king because my funeral. although not outspoken, they played a crucial part in the civil rights movement in the 1960s in their own way.— in their own way. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news: all travellers arriving in the uk will be required to take twocovid tests while they're self isolating for 10 days scientists from the world health organisation who travelled to wuhan to investigate the origins of the virus — say it is "extremely unlikely" to have emerged as a result of an incident in a laboratory. the second impeachment trial of donald trump will begin later in the us senate. the former president is charged with inciting insurrection after his supporters stormed the capitol building injanuary. labour is putting forward its own victims law to strengthen the rights of victims of crime. each government elected since 2015 has pledged to bring forward similar legislation, but none has yet been put to parliament. labour's shadow victims minister peter kyle is increasing the pressure by introducing his own victim's bill to parliament. hejoins me now, along with tracey hanson, whose sonjosh was stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack in a london bar in 2015. welcome both of you. thank you for joining us. peter kyle, first of all, tell us what rights you would like to see victims having that they don't currently have? the most important thing is information, they want to know how the criminaljustice system is working for them and what is happening to the perpetrator of the crime. when to those rates get asserted? when there is a victim and an alleged perpetrator, when the perpetrator is arrested he or she is read their rights, but the victim is on, even though the victim has rights. in the bill today i will make sure that at the point of a crime happening, a victim is read their rights, as well. so at the beginning they know they have rights, power, and influence in the way that the system unfolds around them. the victims commissioner represents them. we make sure that the commissioner is more independent and has more power herself to do enquiries. we make sure that individual victims will have it much easier to trigger reviews and also to trigger complaints when they believe that their rights are not being upheld. absolutely crucially, we insert consequence into the criminaljustice we insert consequence into the criminal justice system for we insert consequence into the criminaljustice system for the very first time. if any part of the criminaljustice first time. if any part of the criminal justice system first time. if any part of the criminaljustice system doesn't uphold the right of the victims, there will be a price to pay for the individuals that are failing them. that is a first. we individuals that are

strengthening the powers of the victim was not commissioner, the overarching person, and also that the new victor's code will ensure that victims will benefit from a clear set of rates and these rights are recognised at all stages. it doesn't go far enough. it in the code that already exist into law is meaningless unless there is a consequence of breaking it. what we have heard from tracey is archetypal of what nearly every victim experiences. at the moment every single person that works in the criminaljustice single person that works in the criminal justice system single person that works in the criminaljustice system cares about victims, but the system doesn't. at the moment victims are ignorable —— ignorable. what i am introduced into parliament today makes the victim is impossible to ignore. you need to be told at the beginning you have rights to advocacy, the right to support, and the right to appeal at any point in the process if you feel that the justice system isn't reflecting you. when we take rights away from perpetrators and arrest them, of course the state is withholding rights of individual so you have to read them the rights. when you have a victim of crime, what they are doing is giving up the right to revenge and take personal action and giving it over to the state. they are trusting the state to deliverjustice state. they are trusting the state to deliver justice for them state. they are trusting the state to deliverjustice for them and society. it is a really big thing. they have rights too and they should be made aware of those rights at the very beginning because it is a fundamental thing that victims do when they hand over the right to justice and the process ofjustice to others. we need to make sure that victims cannot be ignored and i believe the consequence we deliver into the system, with the government hasn't committed to, the right to appeal directly to individual victims, which the government hasn't committed to in the bill, and all these other rights, and bringing humanity into the system so that victims like tracy can stand up in person right at the end of the process of court at the point of sentencing and personally deliver a statement about the impact that the whole process and the loss of somebody and becoming a victim has had on them, so hard rights, consequence into the system and humanity for the victims. innate consequence into the system and humanity for the victims. we have a nicture of humanity for the victims. we have a picture of josh. _ humanity for the victims. we have a picture of

isolating for ten days. many say its long overdue. no one was there, no one was checking me. it was very distressing, to be honest. i was not triumphant about it. after a fact—finding mission in wuhan, the who say the controversial theory that covid—19 came from a laboratory is extremely unlikely. the second impeachment trial of donald trump will begin later in the us senate. the former president is charged with inciting insurrection after his supporters stormed the capitol building injanuary. no custard creams or baked beans at british supermarkets in europe due to major supply problems because of post—brexit rules on exports to the eu. and mary wilson, one of the founding members of the supremes, has died at the age of 76. all travellers entering the uk will have to take two coronavirus tests while they are quarantining, in an attempt to track new cases or variants entering the country. the department of health said the new testing regime "will provide a further level of protection". we're expecting an update in the house of commons from the health secretary matt hancock in the next half an hour. travellers arriving in the uk will still be required to show proof of a negative covid test taken within 72 hours of theirjourney, and then quarantine for ten days upon arrival. it comes as surge testing is to be introduced in parts of manchester after four cases of a new mutation of the kent variant were found. volunteers will go door—to—door, with more than 10,000 tests planned. this morning, figures from the office for national statistics show 9,010 covid deaths were registered in the uk in the week to 29th january. but as the more recent daily figures show, that should start to fall. meanwhile, the nhs covid—19 app has told 1.7 million people in england and wales to self—isolate since it was launched, with researchers saying they believe it has prevented around 600,000 cases. charlotte wright has this. 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 good 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. earlier we heard from freelance journalist sharon feinstein, who arrived back in the uk yesterday following a trip tojohannesburg. she said she was through border controls in ten minutes without checks. i had a folder full of documents, i had my passenger locatorform, i had my test, my negative covid test, i had various other things — proof as to why i had travelled in the first place, which was in november. and i was through in ten minutes, as you said. no one was there, no one was checking me. it was very distressing, to be honest. i wasn't triumphant about it. i looked around, people are waving people in this direction and that direction. and then i did the electronic passport and i was through. i was in the arrivals hall within ten minutes. i'd expected to be an hour, as i was when i arrived in south africa, because they did check everything. so i was shocked and, as i say, i wasn't triumphant, i was very saddened because of what we are going through. because of how desperate the situation is. the fourth highest death rate in the world, let's get a grip. we are doing all this, we are spending all this money to go around testing people who may have the south african strain, and i could be incubating it. how do we know how many people i infected at the airport? not only that, i was on that little passenger train from where i got off to the customs, and we were crammed together like sardines. there was no one to enforce social distancing. i thought, if i'm going to get the virus anywhere, it will be at heathrow. on this case, a home office spokesperson said, "all passengers must have proof of a negative test before they board a flight to the uk and they must isolate when they arrive. all scheduled flights have 100% checks both upstream by the carrier, but also by front line staff at airports." they have also added that this case is being looked into. our

labour and scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon, and so this is the latest player applied by the government at westminster to be announced by health secretary in around half—an—hour. we will bring that life on abc news. the additional tests that travellers to the uk will have to take regardless of where they have travelled from. —— on bbc news. if you have come in from a so—called red list country, you have to stay at your own expense in a government approved hotel for ten days. but even if you have come from a country deemed to be adler risk, you'll still have to do a test on day two and an day age. this will be obligatory if you are in a government quarantine hotel. —— on day eight. they are like your own expense and they are the gold standard tests, the pcr tests, those with the highest degree of reliability. they cost £100 each to do it your own expense. the government is trying to ram home via whatever means they can find a message that says, do not travel unless you have to. that has been the rule for sometime. but there is still hope it can be driven down further, and for those who still feel travel is necessary, either britons returning home or those travelling for essential work —based reasons, there is going to be the additional measures to ensure that if you do come back harbouring the virus, there is limited opportunity for you to spread it to anyone else. is there political agreement on this? , ., _, ., is there political agreement on this? , ., ., ., this? there is a recognition that more needs _ this? there is a recognition that more needs to _

variants, are variants being imported. that becomes more important as cases are in the uk. things are beginning to turn, things are looking more positive as far as the situation here in the uk is concerned, but as that continues to happen, as we all hope it will in the coming weeks and months, then it becomes more important to keep a lid on importing cases from outside, particularly new variants. the big question is, at what point do you start easing things off? at the moment, it is illegal to go away on holiday so it is not a factor, wondering how much it will cost to do one of these tests, because you cannot do that. when that becomes possible, what point is there then an easing in these new restrictions that will be coming in? that is a massive political question for another day, but a massive political question nonetheless.— and coming up this afternoon — we'll be trying to answer your questions on the tests for all uk arrivals during quarantine. travel

6112a, or you email yourquestions@bbc.co.uk a world health organization mission has been reporting its findings after a visit to the chinese city of wuhan to try to find out how covid—19 originated. the who's peter ben embarek said evidence was found of the virus circulating outside a market in december 2019, and that the theory it leaked from a lab is "extremely unlikely". our initial findings suggest that the introduction through an intermediary host species is the most likely pathway and one that will require more studies and more specific targeted research. similarly and connected to this hypothesis is also the one including the possibility of transmission through the trade of frozen cold chain products. our correspondent, stephen mcdonell, is in wuhan. tell us more about the theories are elite what the theories are. —— tell us more about what the theories are. a lot more work to be done according to this group. it was a mammoth press conference. i will refer to my notes. they talked about the possibility of this virus comes from bats, cats, minks, rabbits and rats. they say it was not possible to say at the moment how virus got into that seafood market, a livestock market where the first clusters were. most research needs to be done on the viability of the storage of frozen products. they know it can survive over long distances on frozen seafood, but they are not sure yet if it can then be transmitted to human beings. basically, they have put all the theories into all groups. number one, it is gone from animals to humans. numbertwo, animalto animal to human. numberthree, humans. numbertwo, animalto animal to human. number three, frozen food to human. number three, frozen food to humans. numberfour, a lab leak. they like number two, which is animal— animal, human. that is the most likely scenario at the moment. the one they ruled out is the lab leak theory and they said there should not be any more wasting of resources looking at that lab leak theory. they were asked about that and why it had been ruled out. they are saying they could not find a single lab in the world studying a coronavirus that exactly matches this one. they are also saying it is highly unlikely it escaped from the wuhan institute of allergy and such accidents are very rare. —— wuhan institute of urology. they said in future there needs to be much more work in terms of sharing global database information on viruses and the like. there is a collaboration between scientists different countries and they want much more on that. they want more study on blood samples coming from blood banks, as i said, more work on cold chain storage and transportation of frozen food, and also, one of the reasons they are saying is because it could be a combination of a few of these theories in that, say, a wild frozen animal could have carried the virus. they want to see all the animals that were available in that market, for example, at that time. they are not saying it has come from there, but the potential that this could have come from even a bat in another country, perhaps frozen, came to china and then onto wuhan. it is possible that is where it has come from. i possible that is where it has come from. , , , ., ., from. i will 'ust interrupt you for a moment. — from. i willjust interrupt you for a moment- if— from. i willjust interrupt you for a

they are going through trying to chase it back. did they say much about when they trace it back to? we have heard from different countries throughout this pandemic that they have gone back to old samples and discovered that covid—19 was in that country before it was even suspected. yes. covid-19 was in that country before it was even suspected.— it was even suspected. yes, well, the thint it

done. for example, they said they couldn't see any evidence of widespread transmission, widespread, thatis widespread transmission, widespread, that is important, of the coronavirus in wuhan before december 2019. but that does not mean there was no transmission of the virus. they were asked, what about these studies that seem to have shown that in other countries, italy, wherever, the virus may be predated wuhan? they say, again, more work needs to be done on tracking this down. but, for example, just because it potentially popped up somewhere else in italy, it does not mean it is sourced there. it could be that someone left wuhan at an early—stage and they may have been asymptomatic, because may be asymptomatic transmission before we realised that could happen. maybe it started here and then goes to other countries, like italy, which had early cases, and then on to other places or back to china. who knows? again, there is the recommendation for much more work in this area.— work in this area. thank you very much. thank you very much. the senate trial to impeach donald trump starts in a few hours' time, after the house charged him last month with inciting the attack on the capitol building. the trial is historic on several counts — mr trump is the first us president to be impeached twice, and the first to be tried after leaving office. his lawyers say this trial is unconstitutional. barbara plett usher reports from washington. 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. on 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. our correspondent gary o'donoghue is in washington. talk us through what will happen today.

protesters demonstrating against the military coup. there are unconfirmed reports that live ammunition has also been used. these are pictures from today's protests in yangon, where water canon has

myanmar who took power in a coup last week. american singer mary wilson, has died at the age of 76. wilson was a founding member of the supremes — whose music was a defining sound of the 1960s. wilson was 15, living in detroit, when she launched the group and remained part of the trio until its dissolution in 1977. her publicist said she died suddenly in las vegas and her funerals will be private due to covid restrictions. just two days before her death, wilson uploaded a video on youtube announcing that she was working on releasing new solo material. the founder of record label motown — berry gordy — issued a statement to commemorate her. he wrote, "i was extremely shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of a major member of the motown family, mary wilson of the supremes. she was a trailblazer, a diva and will be deeply missed." frank marino is a personal friend of mary wilson, and says he'd been talking to her recently. today, i actually got a late christmas gift in the mail from her that she had sent me. it is actually this album. it is really strange because it is called time to move on. that is really eerie. but she had called me the other day telling me how she had been trying to send this package out and it had kept going back with the wrong address. we corrected the address and she sent it out and i got it. while we were talking, i said, we should go to lunch. it was strange because she said, i'm waiting to do a few tests at the doctor's office and as soon as that's done, we will do it. and i said, i do not understand why you are waiting. she said, they cannot get me in until such and such a date. i said, you are mary wilson, how could you not get in? i gave her my doctor's address and then we had this bizarre conversation about doctors and what have you. today, i got this gift in the mail and i went online to say thank you, text thank you, and then it popped up that she had passed, and i am really still in shock. i have a knot in my chest now and i'm very sad. the world has lost a great entertainer. maybe on stage she was a diva, in the good sense of the word, that she was just so glamorous and the supremes were not stars, they were superstars. they had it all. and mary, at home, the most down to earth person, and would do her own calls. she called me to say, "do i have your address wrong? she sent me a beautiful little christmas card with it. she said, yes, we will go to lunch. she had just, prior to that, sent me her book. i was getting gifts in the mail constantly from her. they were in london for a while, and the world will be saddened when they wake in america and hear this tomorrow. remembering mary wilson of the supremes, who has died aged 76. sport now and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here'sjon watson. james anderson inspired england to a famous victory over india in the first test in chennai, a spell of devastating bowling paving the way for a 227 run win. 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, england winning by a mammoth 227 runs. they have only lost one test at home in the last eight years. it is always nice to see the stums cartwheeling out of the ground, it doesn't happen very often at my age, so really happy that it did today! itjust topped off a really good performance throughout the five days. i thought it was a really solid and complete performance from the whole team. britain's johanna konta was forced to retire from her match against the slovenian kaja juvan. she took a medical timeout having spoken to the empire. she left for treatment before coming back and taking the first set. but early in the second set, she conceded the match and she endured a difficult season last year with a knee injury. it leaves heather watson as the only british woman into the second round, despite claims she did not feel as fit as usual at their 1a day quarantine. she won in two tie—break sets. online abuse in football has become such a huge problem that 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 him and his family. it came after he gave west ham's tomas soucek a red card on saturday. 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 the prosecution route. it's the only way we can go now. it's been going on forfar too long. that is all from me for now. back with another update at around 1:30pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. the snow showers today will continue to give fresh accumulations of snow, a couple of centimetres here and there. in some places, more, for example central and eastern scotland, five, ten, 15 centimetres, and an amber warning in force from the met office for today and into this evening. obviously, very cold. the cold east, north—easterly winds continue, so it feels more like —5 or —6 in some of the stronger gusts. on top of that, we have stronger winds and potentially some snow also sweeping across the english channel during the course of this afternoon and this evening. the wintry showers will continue through the course of the night and into tomorrow, but tomorrow during the day we are expecting high pressure to build in from the north, and what this high pressure will do is tend to ease the showers, so by tomorrow evening, i think there will be fewer showers around, lighter winds and clearer skies. hello this is bbc news with joanna gosling. the headlines: the government is to set out new rules requiring people who travel to the uk to have two coronavirus tests during their 10—day period of self isolation. scientists from the world health organisation who travelled to wuhan to investigate the origins of the virus say it is "extremely unlikely" to have emerged as a result of an incident in a laboratory. the impeachment trial of donald trump will get underway later. he is accused of inciting the january attack on the capitol building by a crowd of his supporters. no custard creams or baked beans at british supermarkets in europe. major supply problems are resulting in empty shelves as a result of post brexit rules on exports to the eu. # so deep in love with you. # baby, baby #. and mary wilson, one of the founding members of the supremes, has died at the age of 76. we are expecting to hear from the health secretary, matt hancock, in around ten minutes. he will be talking about the imperative to have two coronavirus tests for anyone entering the country during their ten days of self isolation, that comes on top of having to have a test in order to travel in the first place. we are expecting that statement in ten minutes. according to mps, the pandemic could mean the clock being turned back on women's rights. it says plans for the economic recovery are too focused on male dominated sectors. the government says it is safeguarding jobs and incomes. 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 i 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 from 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 all 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. shall we make a flower? 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 working 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. this is the scene live in the house of commons, where health secretary matt hancock is giving a statement. thank you very much, mr speaker. i would like to make a statement on new measures to keep the country safe from coronavirus. thanks to our collective efforts we are turning a corner. cases of coronavirus have fallen a7% in the last two weeks and are falling in all parts of the uk, but we are not there yet. hospitalisations are fallen, but there are still many more people in hospital than at the april or november peaks and the number of deaths, whilst falling, is still far too high. her vaccination programme is growing every day. we have now vaccinated over 12.2 million people, almost one in four adults in the united kingdom, including 91.a% of people aged 80 and above, 95.9% of those aged between 75 and 79, and 77.2% of those aged between 70 and 7a, who were the most recent groups to have been invited. we have also vaccinated 93.5% of eligible care home residents. we have made such progress in protecting the most vulnerable that we are now asking people who live in england who are age 70 and over and haven't yet had an appointment to come forward and contact the nhs. you can do that by going online to nhs got uk, or dialling 11—9 or contacting your local gp practice. we can make sure that we reach the remaining people in these groups, even as we expand the offer of a vaccine to younger ages. these are huge steps forward for us all and we must protect this heartfelt progress by making sure we stay vigilant and secure the nation against new variants of coronavirus that put at risk the great advantages —— advances we have made. coronavirus, just like you and other viruses, mutates over time so responding to new variants as soon as they arrive is mission to protect ourselves for the long term. we have already built firm foundations like our genomic sequencing that allows us to identify new variants, our testing capacity which allows us to bring an enhanced testing wherever and whenever we find a new variants of concern, and work to secure vaccines that can be quickly adapted as new strains are identified. our strategy to tackle new variants has four parts. first, the lower the case numbers here forfewer four parts. first, the lower the case numbers here for fewer new variants we get, so the work to lower case numbers domestically is crucial. second, as i set out to the house last week, is on hand contact tracing, search testing and genomic sequencing. we are putting this a place where ever and g variant of concern is found in the community, like in bristol, liverpool and as of today manchester. third is the work and vaccines to tackle variants are set out yesterday by professor van tam. fourth, health protection at the border to increase our security against new variants of concern arriving from abroad. i would like to set out to the house the new system of health measures at the border that will come into force on monday. the new —— new measures built on the tough action we have already taken. it is of course illegal to travel abroad without a legally permitted reason to do so, so it is illegal to travel abroad for holidays and other leisure purposes. forthe for holidays and other leisure purposes. for the minority who are travelling for exceptional purposes, they will be subject to a specific compliance regime and end—to—end checks. every passenger must demonstrate a negative test result 72 hours before they travel to the uk and every passenger must quarantine for ten days. arriving in this country involves a two—week process for all. we have already banned travellers altogether from the 33 most concerning countries on a red list where the risk of a new variant is greatest unless they are resident here. even with these tough measures in place we must strengthen our defences yet further. i appreciate what a significant challenge they we have been working to get this right across government and with airport operators, passenger carriers and operational partners, including border force and the police, i want to thank them all for their work so far. we have been taking advice from our australian colleagues, both at ministerial level and from their leading authorities on quarantine. the message is, everyone has a part to play in making our border safe. i know this is a very difficult time for both airlines and ports and i am grateful to them for working so closely with us. you have such an important role to play in protecting this country and putting in place a system so we can securely restart travel when the time is right. the whole team at the borders working together. let me set out the three elements of the strengthened and end—to—end system for international arrivals coming into force on the 15th of february. this new system is for england and we are working on similarly tough schemes with the devolved administrations and working with the irish government to put in place a similar system that works across the common travel area. the three parts are as follows. hotel quarantine, testing and enforcement. first, we are setting up a new system of hotel quarantine for uk and irish residents who have been in red list countries in the last ten days. in short, this means that any returning residents from these countries will have to quarantine in an assigned hotel room for ten days from the time of arrival. before they travel, they will have to book through an online platform and pay for a quarantine package costing £1750 for an individual travelling alone, which includes the hotel, transport and testing. this booking system will go live on thursday when we will start publishing the full detailed guidance. passengers will only be able to enter the uk through a small number of ports that currently account for the vast majority of passenger arrivals. when they arrive they will be escorted to a designated hotel which will be closed to guests who are not quarantining for ten days, or for longer if they test positive for covid—19 during their stay. we have contracted 16 hotels for an initial a600 rooms and we will secure more as they are needed. people will need to remain in their rooms and of course will not be allowed to mix with other guests and there will be visible security in place to ensure compliance alongside necessary support so even as we protect public health we can look after the people in our care. second, we are strengthening testing. all passengers are already required to take a predeparture test and cannot travel to this country if it is positive. from monday, all international arrivals, whether under whom quarantine or hotel quarantine, will be required bylaw to take further pcr tests on day two and day eight of the quarantine. passengers will have to book these tests to the online portal before they travel. anyone planning to travel to the uk from monday needs to book these tests and the online portal will go live on thursday. if either of these post—arrival tests come back positive, they will have to quarantine for a further ten days from the date of the test and will be offered any nhs treatment that is necessary. any positive result will automatically undergo genomic sequencing to confirm whether they have are variant of concern. under home quarantining, the existing test release scheme, which the transport secretary has built so effectively, can still be used from day five. this will be in addition to the two mandatory tests. the combination of enhanced testing and sequencing has been a powerful weapon through this pandemic and we will be bringing it to bear so we can find positive cases, break the chains of transmission and prevent new cases and new variants from putting us at risk. third, we will be backing this new system with strong enforcement of both home quarantining and hotel quarantine. people who float these rules are putting us all at risk. passenger carriers will have a duty in law to make sure that passengers have signed up to these new arrangements before they travel and will be fined if they don't. we will be putting in place tough fines for people who don't comply. this includes a 1,000 point penalty for any international arrival who fails to take a mandatory test, 2,000 point penalty to any international arrival who fails to take the second mandatory test, as well as automatically extending the quarantine period to 1a days. a £5,000 fixed penalty notice, rising to 10,00a arrival to filter quarantine and is it —— in a designated hotel. your down hard on people who provide false information on the passenger who provide false information on the passenger locator form. anyone who lives on the passenger locator form and tries to conceal that they had been in a country on the red list in the ten days before arrival here will face a prison sentence of up to ten years. these measures will be put into law this week and i have been working with the home secretary, the border force and police to make sure that more resources are being put into enforcing these measures. i make no apologies for the strength of these measures because we are dealing with one of the strongest threats to a public health we have faced as a nation. i knew that most people have been doing their bit, making huge sacrifices as part of the national effort, and these new enforcement powers will make sure their hard work and sacrifice isn't undermined by a small minority who don't want to follow the rules. in short, we are strengthening the health protection at the border in three crucial ways. protection at the border in three crucialways. hotel protection at the border in three crucial ways. hotel quarantine, for uk and irish residents who have visited a red list country in the past ten days, and home quarantine for all passengers from any other country. at three test regime for all rivals —— arrivals, and firm enforcement of predeparture test and the passenger locator form. enforcement of predeparture test and the passenger locatorform. a fight against this virus has many fronts and just as we are attacking this virus to our vaccination programme which is protecting more people each day, we are buttressing our defences against these vital measures so we can protect the progress that we have worked together so hard to accomplish. i commend this statement to accomplish. i accomplish. i commend this statement

today that over 70s have been ringing up to get an appointment at the nhs computer systems are not yet ready to accept appointments over the phone. could he look into that for us? what is the plan to drive up vaccination levels in minority ethnic communities? i am sure he is as worried as i am about the vaccination rates amongst diverse communities. the government announced funding for local authorities to tackle vaccine hesitancy in ethnic minorities, packed in a city like leicester was not on the list. can he rectify that? at last night was my press conference, he said the way we do with new variants is to respond to them as they arise and the first line of defence is to stop the spread. ourfirst line of line of defence is to stop the spread. our first line of defence line of defence is to stop the spread. ourfirst line of defence is surely to do everything we can to stop them are rising in the first place. that means securing our borders, to isolate new variants as they come in. he has announced a detail package today, but he hasn't announced comprehensive quarantine controls at the borders. why then went over half of countries where the south african variant has been identified, why are over half of them not on the so—called red list? according to newspaper reports, he wanted to go further with more extensive quarantine arrangements. i want that as well. the british public want that as well. so i will work with him to make that happen so we can strengthen our borders and fix any holes in this nation's defences. as he knows, mutations occur as long as the virus can replicate and transmit. the greater the spread, the greater the opportunity. we have the south african variant, the so—called e a8a k variant, is the cold reality that the virus is now here for some time? therefore for vaccines to succeed in protecting us, we need to do more to protecting us, we need to do more to protect those vaccines by cutting transmission chains and spread, especially when lockdown eases. last year at the secretary of state said in launching test and trace that it would help keep this virus under control while carefully and safely lift interlocked and nationally. but it didn't keep the virus under control, did it? how will it be different this time? will the enhanced racing he has outlined where there variants, will that be routine everywhere? extra testing whether our variants is welcome of course, but for many who can work from home, who are poor are low—paid, who live in overcrowded housing or perhaps our care workers who are currently using up their holiday entitlement when 60 is as not to lose wages, a positive test is notjust not to lose wages, a positive test is not just a not to lose wages, a positive test is notjust a medical clue, but a financial one, as well. last tuesday he boasted of the £500 payment, yet over 70% of applications for financial support are rejected. by wednesday, his own —— his own head of test and trace was pointing at the 20,000 sick people a day don't isolate, and two months earlier she had already said people are not self isolating because they find it very difficult. they need to keep earning and feed your family is fundamental. is it any wonder that infections are falling at a slower rate in the most deprived communities? we need our financial support that his own scientific advisers are called for. if he thinks i am wrong, can he tell us why he thinks dido harding is wrong? secondly, we know this virus can be transmitted through aerosols. as he looked at installing air filtration systems and public buildings such as schools? will he update the guidance on facemasks, as germany has none, with ffp to mask on public transport and jobs? will he endure grade ppe for front on public transport and jobs? will he endure grade ppe forfront laugh front line staff? next week is children of alcoholics week, a cause close to my heart and i will be running the london marathon again to raise money for an alcoholics charity, if it is on. the excess deaths from liver disease from this pandemic are up 11% in the pandemic, a huge increase in excess deaths. many children are in lockdown in homes under the shadow of alcohol abuse. with a look at providing more support for those organisations that are helping children through this difficult time of lockdown, dealing with parents with substance abuse problems? i with parents with substance abuse troblems? ., , , , problems? i was listening very carefully to — problems? i was listening very carefully to the _ problems? i was listening very carefully to the honourable i carefully to the honourable gentleman. i think i take that as support for the measures that we are bringing in. on the specific point that he raises, he is absolutely right that further driving up vaccination rates is critical. i am delighted by the vaccination rates and the uptake of over 90% in all of the groups over the age of 75, and rapidly rising now above 75% in the 70-70 rapidly rising now above 75% in the 70—70 fours, and rising fast. i agree with him very strongly on the need to keep driving up the uptake of the vaccine, and the minister for vaccine deployment is leading the efforts with the nhs and local authorities to try to make sure that we can increase vaccination rates further. nevertheless, this take—up has been absolutely superb so far, and there are still more to do. i will absolutely looking to the point is that he maids about leicester. i know that it is close to his heart, and a very important matter. i will also commit to him to keeping the red list up to date. it is important that we take the measures necessary to protect this country. there are countries around the world on a so—called green list that have very, very low rates of infection and no known variants of concern. i am absolutely in favour of keeping the red list up to date, but i also think it is important that we are proportionate when there are countries that do not have a record of variants of concern. however, we will use the fact that we will sequence every positive test from somebody who comes through the border as a global system of vigilance to make sure that we are always looking for those variants of concern. he raised the issue of financial support and i will reiterate the point that the 500 point support is available for anyone on low income, so people should come forward for testing in all circumstances and i am delighted at the level of testing, as well, where there is now an average of over 650,000 tests a day is done in this country, which is obviously a very, very substantial number. he raised the point about air filtration systems, which are important, and i were pointing to guidance from the business department on air filtration systems. on ppe where we have taken clinical advice and follow the clinical advice and follow the clinical advice and follow the clinical advice on the correct levels of ppe. finally, i know that theissue levels of ppe. finally, i know that the issue of children of alcoholics is very close to his heart and many colleagues across this house, so i will absolutely look at how we can ensure that the extra funding that we have provided in this space continues to support the vital work of those notjust on the nhs, but also especially charities who do so much in this space. the invitation to run the marathon with him, mr speaker, is a very interesting one. i'm not sure i have enough time for training this year, but it is certainly something i would like to do at some point in the future. the chair of the — do at some point in the future. the chair of the select committee, jeremy— chair of the select committee, jeremy hunt. we chair of

online which will enable anybody returning to this country from one of those 33 countries on the red list to book a hotel slot for their quarantine in a hotel on their return to this country. no one is allowed to travel to this country unless from those 33 unless they live here. anybody who does will have to book a package, costing £1750. 16 hotels, a600 room is currently in the system, and if anybody coming into this country lies about having been on one of those 33 countries and tries to get around the system by coming to another country, there is the possibility of a prison sentence of “p possibility of a prison sentence of up to ten years as a significant deterrent to that. in terms of the home quarantining, the change coming in on monday has been widely trailed, it will be that those quarantining it will need to have two pcr tests during the course of the ten day quarantine, one on day two and one on day eight. if the tests come back positive, the quarantine period will be extended. all of the tests, any positive test, will be sequence genetically because the government is obviously looking to try to keep track any new variant so that that can be monitored. significant announcement there from the health secretary of the new measures coming in on monday. all the very latest details and reaction coming up in the one o'clock news. right now though, it is time for a look at the weather. well, some of us have another 2a to 36 hours of these intermittent snow showers — some of them light, some still very heavy. for example, across parts of central and eastern scotland. an amber warning in force from the met office here through today and into this evening. and also, we have some snow potentially for the channel islands through this afternoon and evening, on top of that gale—force winds, for some temporary blizzards here as well. now, the evening is going to be subzero across the uk. on top of that, we still have that cold east, north—easterly, so it is going to feel more like —7 in some of the stronger gusts. now, through the course tonight, the snow showers continue, again, giving fresh accumulations of snow. around two to five centimetres at most, ten in parts of scotland. but also a lot of clear weather around as well. and the winds are just starting to drop a little bit as we go into the early hours of wednesday. temperatures in some spots dipping down to —15 degrees, again, in the scottish glens. so tomorrow, bright sparkling sunshine, i think, for some of us in the west of the country. but the snow showers further east will become less frequent. and the reason for that is because high pressure will be building, and high pressure stops showers from forming, it eases the winds and the high pressure will be building from the north. so in scotland we will see that high by the time get to wednesday night. also, the winds will ease, and with high pressure and easing winds, it's going to get a very, very cold. in fact, these are the city temperatures. —12 or lower in scotland, —8 in parts of london. for parts of london, it could be, in fact, wednesday night into thursday, the coldest night in around a decade. so some super cold weather on the way thursday morning. very frosty, but changes are starting to take place in the south—west of the british isles. weather fronts are trying to sneak in. that is a sign that there is mild air not that far away from us. but by friday, i think that milder air mightjust about be nudging into ireland, maybe the tip of cornwall, but the cold easterly air is still very much in place across the uk through friday and quite possibly into saturday and maybe sunday as well. so friday, i think, a crisp day on the way. that snow isn't going away anywhere. it's still a cold day. tough new sanctions for anyone failing to observe new rules for travellers coming to england from abroad the measures include a maximum £10,000 fine for flouting hotel quarantine rules — and up to ten
