in the premier league. diogojiota scores twice asjurgen klopp's side see off southampton 4—0. it's sunday 28th november. our main story: borisjohnson has announced measures to reduce the spread of the new covid—19 variant, omicron, after two cases were detected in the uk. all travellers entering britain will now have to take a pcr test within two days, and must self isolate, until they test negative. all those who've been in contact with someone who has the omicron variant will also have to self—isolate for 10 days, regardless of whether they've been vaccinated. face coverings will once again become compulsory in shops and on public transport in england from next week. in scotland, wales and northern ireland they're already mandatory on public transport and in many indoor areas. katharine da costa reports. it is hard to believe just a week ago no—one had heard of omicron, a highly mutated covid variant that may spread more rapidly and make vaccines less effect give it up but with a confirmation of two cases of the variant in the uk, concerns have escalated quickly. fill" the variant in the uk, concerns have escalated quickly.— escalated quickly. our scientists are

prime minister _ into arms as fast as possible. the prime minister said he thought christmas would be better than last year. the new measures will be revealed in three weeks, by which time we should

yesterday will come in early, this coming week. there will be a vote for mps in parliament to approve the measures. i didn't expect that to be particularly controversial although a handful of conservative mps may object and labour what the government to go further in implementing plan b which involves covid passport and encouraging more people to work from home. there are questions about how the measures announced will work. for example, isolation, if you come into contact with someone that has omicron is manageable. but if it ends up being a dominant strain, that could be a huge number of people needing to isolate and the pcr test as well when people return from abroad and how that would be managed. looking further ahead, these measures will be reviewed in three weeks time, very close to christmas and hopefully with more of an idea of how this new variant is operating. no indication of whether restrictions will stay, removed or even strengthened. 61 people who arrived in amsterdam on two flights from south africa on friday are infected with covid—19 and have been placed into isolation. they were among 600 passengers who were held for several hours after arrival while they were tested for the virus. the dutch health authorities are conducting further testing to see if any of them are carrying the recently discovered omicron variant, now classed as a variant of concern. ministers from belgium, germany and the netherlands are expected in calais today, to discuss the growing risks of migration across the channel. the meeting comes after at least 27 people died trying to reach uk shores on wednesday. the home secretary, priti patel, was due to join the meeting but was uninvited amid growing diplomatic tensions, as our france correspondent lucy williamson reports. they say that people smugglers are the enemy but it is pushing paris and london apart. this is not really and london apart. this is not really a bilateral issue, francis says. the uk must talk to the eu as a whole but today the eu will be talking together a london has been left out into the cold. more than half the people in migrant camps have come from belgium, the government says, in search of the shortest route across the channel to british shores. a few miles from these sudden tents, frances interior minister will be colleagues from germany, belgium and other places to discuss this. it highlights the tension this issue has caused british politicians use to remind their european counterparts during brexit negotiations that the uk was not leaving europejust brexit negotiations that the uk was not leaving europe just leaving the eu. what that distinction means for managing cross channel migration is still being hammered out. lucy williamson, bbc news. several

of low pressure is storm arwen pushing away to the east. we still have a northerly wind blowing but not as strong as yesterday. wintry weather around. you can see this area of snowfall, mixed of rain and sleet across parts of scotland, wintry showers towards the west and thaticy wintry showers towards the west and that icy start potentially across scotland into northern and eastern parts of england. through the day, we will keep some wintry showers in eastern england. snow at quite low levels in east anglia for a time. this again it would be a mix of rain, sleet and snow but could see slow at quite low levels. —— snow. many of us will get to see sunshine. it will feel cold at that. 2— eight degrees in the south—west. some wintry showers in eastern parts of england through the

and eastwards. quite a contrast in our temperatures. that is because we have a wedge of milder and working its way in as we get into tuesday. between these weather front there is a zone of much milder and so tuesday quite a breezy day and we will see some outbreaks of rain particularly to the north and west of the uk but temperatures into double digits. 12— 14 temperatures into double digits. 12— 1a degrees. hard to imagine right now. it will turn cold again from mid week but nothing as cold as what we have on the clouds right now and nothing as stormy as we have had so far this weekend. it is broadly speaking eight calmer outlook but some wintry nurse through the day to day. that sounds much more acceptable. it is quarter past six. time for a look at today's papers. let's start with the front pages. most of today's papers focus on the two newly—identified cases of the omicron variant in the uk, and a return of some anti—covid measures in england as a result. we learned about that last night at the paris conference. —— press conference. the sunday mirror is slightly more critical though, saying, "mask up — even you, boris". the paper says it hopes the prime minister will follow his own rules. the sunday times focuses on christmas fears, saying the restrictions will be reviewed in three weeks. that is just for the holidays get under way. the sunday express also leads with the announcement that masks will be required in shops and on public transport. it says that mrjohnson tightened these rules to "save christmas". if you're a strictly fan you're probably looking forward to

it is 620. the uk is among a number of countries around the world to introduce a travel ban or restriction on people arriving from southern african countries in an effort to contain the spread of the new covid—19 variant ohmic one. it was first reported to the world health organization from south africa on wednesday and we are joined now by doctor angelique from the tory, the chairwoman of the south african medical association. angeli, it is good to have you with us. first of all, we will come to some of the identification and the work that has been done to identify this variant in a moment but from your initial observations, how does this new variant manifest itself? how is it different to what we may have been used to? good morning to you and your viewers. thank you so much for asking us and for starting with the clinical picture because it is extremely important and while sciences in the background the most important thing is what we are seeing at the ground level. so we have seen and begun to realise that we had a new variant between november 17 and 18, we started to see young men come into the surgery with extreme fatigue for about two days with a headache. scratchy throat, it's not a significant, even if it is there, as well as a cough, again, not significant. extreme tiredness is the most significant factor. these young men who are normally not sick. you need to understand the between eight and ten weeks we have not seen any real new covid cases in the area where i practise and we then started to test them and found them positive and because i am part of an advisory committee and team i said to them, listen, guys, i have seen this, it is interesting, new symptoms in people who are positive. i think it is new variant and it is definitely not delta, it is similar to beta. and the scientist in the background started to identify a new variant and it was then easy to link the symptoms with the new variant. but it is extremely new. and it may change going forward. for now it is extremely mild. the problem is that it will be missed by most family practitioners and specialists out there because of the mildness of the symptoms. if it is highly transmissible may spread to people un— vaccinated and that is where we will have a problem going forward. but for now, it is extremely mild. i wanted to ask you about that. one of the key concerns that many people haveis the key concerns that many people have is whether it can evade and protection that we have been afforded so far from vaccines. what are you seeing in terms of the number of people vaccinated to then present with symptoms? i am number of people vaccinated to then present with symptoms?— present with symptoms? i am glad that ou present with symptoms? i am glad that you asked _ present with symptoms? i am glad that you asked us. _ present with symptoms? i am glad that you asked us. it _ present with symptoms? i am glad that you asked us. it is _ present with symptoms? i am glad that you asked us. it is more i present with symptoms? i am glad that you asked us. it is more or. that you asked us. it is more or less are 50—50. vaccinated versus unvaccinated people. the nice thing is that vaccinated people get extremely mild symptoms and that fits in with what we have said all the way, that vaccines will protect you against severe daisies and death. it will not protect you against mild disease and this is what we are seeing. so while people are now asking why should i do not get vaccinated, you still need be protected. and we do not know, for now, what the impact will be of this virus on severe disease going forward especially for unvaccinated people and so far we have not seen vaccinated people with severe disease. so i cannot answer that question. i also consulted with many different general practitioners. remember, we are in the epicentre of this. this is the epicentre 40 mu.. in the same picture with my other colleagues. none of us admitted any patients, it is very easy and they get over the symptoms in three or four days after we have seen them. even i had two very sick people who i thought were of concern. very high pulse rates and feverish. i treated them with tamiflu and within 48 hours you would not say that the that patient was that sick. but again, no oxygen needs or anything like that. you must understand, even though we are the epicentre, our positivity rate yesterday was 9.2% meaning that in the whole of our country there are 3220 positive cases of which the majority, 2600 cases of which the majority, 2600 cases out of 10,000 people tested. so so there is severe worry in the public of other countries but we still need to see what is happening here. for now we are happy with what we're seeing. there is

of looking at that through a window and a human touch, holding his hand, that is what he responds to. it is very difficult now for dad. he struggles to swallow and eat and you see him losing weight on

month layoff. ——20 goals. liverpool are up to second place in the premier league — a point behind leaders chelsea, who play manchester united later today. jurgen klopp's side beat southampton 4—0. diogojota scored twice in the first half — this is his second. thiago alcantara made it three, and virgil van dijk added the fourth after half time. newcastle are still without a win in the premier league after losing 2—0 at arsenal. gabriel martinelli with that brilliant volley to seal it. it was eddie howe's first game on the touchline as the new newcastle boss, but they stay bottom six points from safety. i think the players have been very responsive. in the two games we have had they have given everything to the team and i cannot ask any more than their best. we are in a difficult position and we have some important games to come. it's two wins out of two for new aston villa manager steven gerrard. his side beat crystal palace 2—1, john mcginn with the second. elsewhere norwich versus wolves was goalless, as was brighton against leeds. hearts are up to second in the scottish premiership, three points behind leaders rangers, after beating st mirren 2—0 at tynecastle. stephen kingsley�*s superb free kick sealed the victory. elsewhere there were wins for hibs and dundee. rangers and celtic are in action later today. ellen white marked her one hundredth appearance for england by scoring, as they beat austria 1—0 in a world cup qualifier in sunderland. white is just one goal away from equalling the lionesses�* scoring record of 46 set by kelly smith. england top their group with five wins out of five, and are yet to concede. history was going to be made at twickenham yesterday, because for the first time the barbarians men's and women's rugby teams were due to be playing in a double bill at the same ground. however, the men's game against samoa was cancelled — due to six confirmed covid cases in the babas team. but the women's match against south africa did go ahead, in front of a record crowd for a women's international. the barbarians ran in ten tries with three for sarah levy as they thrashed the springboks by 60 points to 5. the game was also the last for england's world cup winning captain katy daley—mclean, who is retiring. idid not i did not expect to be half as good as this. i had the opportunity to make twickenham the last international retirement but i got involved into this and to play with these guys has been one of the greatest honours. i cannot express how special this is, to see family and friends. it could not get any more special. in tennis, great britain beat france 2—1 in their first tie at this year's davis cup finals. dan evans was up against adrian mannarino in the first rubber, and he enjoyed a straightfoward victory, winning in straight sets. that left british number one cameron norrie knowing that the tie would effectively be over if he managed to beat arthur rindernech. it was another straight sets victory for great britain. they then lost the in the doubles, but won 2—1 overall. britain will be through to the quarter—finals if they beat the czech republic today. and ronnie o'sullivan is safely through to the third round of snooker�*s uk championship. the rocket has already won this tournament more than anybody else — he's going for an eighth title in york. o'sullivan was on solid form as he beat the world number 68 robbie williams 6—2. and finally no competition for the most bizarre match of the weekend. that came in portugal's primera liga. belenenses began their match against benfica withjust nine players — including two goalkeepers — after a covid outbreak. 17 players were unavailable. the day didn't get much betterfor them, conceding an own goal in the first minute, it was 7—0 at half time.belenenses then suffered a series of injuries and the match was abandoned in the second half because they only had six players on the pitch. laughter. fred decent, cracking on. wouldn't

for the travel show. this week on the travel show: i am in dubai, with visions of the future at the delayed expo 2020. if i scan this image here, i get augmented reality view of what south korea deems to be the future of mobility. and that includes flying cars. woo! i take a dip and tumble... laughs. and i discover an artificial rainforest in what was once a desert. oh hello! oh here we go! but first, in a difficult couple of years in the global travel calendar, there has been one giant mega event looming. and of course, fitting for a giant mega event, that was happen in this city of superlatives, dubai. nobody knew for sure it would happen, but here it is. hello, expo 2020, orshould that be expo 2021. it was delayed by a year, and for a place that relies so heavily on tourism, dubai needed this to happen. in fact, it is probably not too much of a stretch to say the entire international tourism industry needed this to happen. well, i'm armed with my expo passport — let's do this. it has taking place over six months, and had nearly 2.5 million visits in the first month alone. 192 countries have created pavilions showcasing innovations for the future. here in a site twice the size of monaco, you have a world in miniature. looking around this place, one thing to remember is that pavilions are like shop windows for countries. you know, in amongst all the tech and innovation, it's a real chance for them to show the rest of the world their big ideas, and the idealised vision of their culture and values. but for some seasoned travellers, their experiences of these countries might be a little bit different. the first expo, then called the world's fair, started back in 1851, when it was opened by the uk's queen victoria in london. back then, when only a fraction of people ever went abroad, and information about the world was harder to come by, the multicultural innovations on show, fuelled by the new industrial revolution, would have seemed extraordinary. but now, it is a technological revolution at expo's heart. as you can probably tell, still a work in progress... last year i came to see it in the making, so now i have come back to see how it has all come together. now, the last time i was here, this place did not look like this, it was basically one big construction site. and i can see they have completely transformed it. the uk's contribution presents a huge wall of poetry, which doesn't always make total sense. it's generated by artificial intelligence using words donated by the public, and was inspired by professor stephen hawking's theories about how the world might come together to communicate a message in the event of meeting intelligent life from another planet. so i will type my word in here, i am going for "beautiful". and now i believe it is going to appear on the big screen. so talk me through the arrangement of the words. because looking at right now, it doesn't look like it makes a lot of sense. so how do we make a story out of this? it is really simple. poetry is very personal. every word is given a single couplet, those couplets will speak to the individual who donated the word, but what is really exciting about this is the algorithm has been trained over many, many months. it has digested 15,000 poems, including shakespeare, including blake and so on and so forth. the poetry societies across the uk have fed the algorithm words and poems, so that it can learn how to create poetry. and the more words we give it, the better the sense of the poetry becomes. and right now it has been up for a few weeks, and you can see sentences, you can see sense within this building. what we're trying to do with this building is show that we are innovators as a nation. the pavilions each sit in one of the expo's three main themes — mobility, opportunity and sustainability. and each theme has its own building. the sustainability pavilion is net zero energy and net zero water, diverting people's waste water through a natural outdoor filtration system of reedbeds and then reused on the site's vegetation. so all around us you will find buildings that are net zero energy, you will find buildings that have employed sustainable wood technologies and methodologies — shading, outdoor passive cooling areas. and it is actually a real honour to stand alongside all of these country pavilions from all around the world that have chosen to highlight solutions that are applicable to those regions. and trialling them out to see what works here. and walking around, one of the sustainability pavilions stand out among the others. so there is around 80,000 different kind of plans the tropical garden, and over 190 different species. and it really is so peaceful and tranquil, just wandering through here. and i also think it's kind of crazy that i am in a giant garden that is slap bang in the middle of a desert. in singapore we have more than 250 hectares of vertical green. so what we do here is reflected in what we do in singapore, in a much, much bigger way. five decades ago, singapore is known as the garden city. and until recently, the last decade, we have evolved into a city in a garden. now we are aspiring to be a city in nature. and will be rewilding all our gardens, we will bring nature closer to the people. once you bring this down to the city, we are bringing the biodiversity closer to them. i think that is what we want to see. and what better proof of that than with their first visitor, a bird that has nested in the pavilion. but for dubai, while all this might seem like a huge boon for the time being, what happens when all the visitors go home and the pavilions pack up and shut their doors? how sustainable is this expo site then? dubai has expanded at an extraordinary pace in recent years, but still, plans are in place to repurpose expo to create a new living and working environment to support nearly 150,000 people as part of a vision for a human—centric future city. this site is huge. twice the size of monaco, i believe. it is. for the built environment, it is twice the size of monaco. it is massive, so how will you make use of the space, how will you utilise it? 80% of everything we have built gets repurposed. and it is taking this space, this incredible environment that you see from on top of here, and repurposing it into this innovation hub. and it is a blank canvas, really, for us, for architects, for smart infrastructure solutions, for start—ups that want to come into this vibrant environment. dubai is moving towards becoming a very smart city, we are taking the lead in that. it is about creating this industry that is another focal point for dubai. and finally, it's night time when this place transforms into something else altogether. like at south korea's pavilion, bursting with lights and technology. so if i scan this image here... i get an augmented reality view of what south korea deems to be the future of mobility. and that includes flying cars. but there is one last emerging global superpower i wanted to see. so this is the china pavilion, and one of the biggest pavilions here, you might have guessed it might be — they definitely don't do things by halves, which explains why every night they do a drones and lights performance outside. here it goes! a brilliantly synchronised, stunning display. i expected nothing less. stay with us, because still to come on the show: i take on one of the world's biggest floating inflatable assault courses. . . boo! ..and find out how the residents of a very special home here in dubai coped during lockdown last year. the speed with which those things devoured that chicken was unbelievable. the beaches here are one of the many reasons to visit dubai, and as you can see, it is a glorious day, people are enjoying the sun. and i have been told there is a really fun way to cool off here. i'm about to give it a try. this is dubai aqua fun, the brainchild of a young emirati entrepreneur called ahmed ben chaibah. he claims it is the biggest inflatable water park in the world. against the backdrop of hotels and skyscrapers, and a short 25 metre swim from the beach, you will find a course made up of over 70 floating blow—up slippery slides, swings and other obstacles, all designed to test your stamina, balance and bravery. and after a bit of undignified clamber on board, i am ready to accept the challenge. it is a lot slipperier than you think! come on lucy! almost! i think i've — oh! i was just about to say, i think i've been in the water enough. went five seconds and i didn't even touch the obstacle. he we go! boo! laughs. that is what you got to look out for. you might complete the obstacle but the slipping at the end, every time. every time! something tells me i may have spoken too soon. i challenge anyone to get over this thing and stay dry. i am fit, yeah? i'm trying my hardest! but most importantly, this is so much fun. three, two, one! all right, here we go! woo! how can you not love the slide? i think i am ready to get off now. well, now that i am thoroughly soaked through, it is time to dry off. but i am not heading back to the beach — instead, perhaps it is time to feel the wind in my very wet hair. how's this for a socially distanced experience? these are the dubai hero boats — your own personal speedboat that lets you cut through the warm waters of the gulf at speeds of up to 50km/h. after a short instructional and safety tutorial, you'll stick to a vast but designated course, accompanied by a guide who's on hand to ensure that you stick to the rules while getting a high—speed and unique view of the dubai beaches and skyline. as far as rides go, this one is awesome. it's super easy to drive and brandon's nearby for safety, just in case. you know, yeah, you could go pretty slow but the real fun begins when you crank up the engine and, more importantly, you do it with no mask! well, to finish off this week, we're heading to a place here in dubai where, despite the heat outside, it rains as regularly as clockwork inside and it's home to some rather special residents, and i've been to meet some of them. this is green planet dubai — a purpose—built biodome where, no matter what the temperature is outside, inside, it is a different story and that's because of the thousands of animals, birds, fish and insects that live here. this is just amazing. i mean, you've got a rainforest in the middle of the city. how, how, how? tell me about the building. so the building itself, its temperature and humidity controlled all year long. yeah, yeah. perfect tropical environment right in the middle of downtown dubai. chuckles. dubai is not a place that's kind of synonymous with nature. but dubai is known for doing things unique, so the only rainforest in the middle of dubai shouldn't come to a shock as anyone. cackles. so this tree here is artificial and then everything growing off of it is natural. i can't get over this soundtrack — it's so beautiful. relaxing, isn't it? it's very tranquil, isn't it? it is, and it's funny when you start really seeing the animals and their personalities, so the toco toucan over, he is the boss of the birds. yep. he's in charge. so everyone has their kind of place and their homes and their personality and it's just a lot of fun to watch. yeah. and how many different species of animal are in here? there's hundreds of different species, thousands of different animals. you have the bestjob. thank you so much. i know, we're very lucky. we're — every day is a little bit different, though. it's like working with kids — you can't predict what's going to happen by the end of the day. yeah, yeah. every time you think you have them figured out, someone'll surprise you and get themselves in a situation where you go "i did not even know that was possible". yeah, yeah! how did you decide what animals actually go in here, you know, because they all have to play nice together, i presume. it's a very particular process to look before we bring any new animal. educationally, what would they bring to the facility? how they would work together with the other animals. do they have the space and all the requirements that they need? our last new animals where our three ring—tailed lemurs that you'll see today and the first day that they came, right after lockdown, they were introduced, they kind of came out and i swear to you, there was about 100 birds all around them gathering like... who's the new kid? exactly! so there was a whole introduction process that they have to get used to and pass the test. yeah, yeah! but now, they are settled in like pros. but in the building, we try to be sustainable as possible, whether it has to do with the grey water recycling programme, with eliminating as much as possible single—use plastics. we also have many different critically endangered conservation breeding programmes for animals here in the building for the survival of these species as unfortunately, there's a lot of species becoming extinct in their natural habitat every year. yeah, yeah. we're trying to do all we can to just help them stay alive. yeah. we hope every one of our guests comes, experiences, has a great time, but leaves with a little bit more of a passion to take care of the environment. come here! oh, they are both back! oh, hello. oh, here we go! i love that there's just no fear. i don't think i have ever seen animals be this brazen before — collectively as well, you know? honestly, that's because it is their home first, right? so these guys are confident, knowing they can be wherever they want to be and guests can come nice and close but won't be touching any of the animals and therefore, they can be wherever they want and explore. oh, hejust did a little twirl for the camera. you just want to have some more nuts? so when guests, when visitors come, they are told no touching the animals, you know — got to be strict about that, obviously. yes. we do have particular programmes where you can, in a small group, get to know the animals more close—up if that is something you would like to do, but in general with our larger quantities of guests coming through, we'll observe them on a little distance so that they can be comfortable coming to see you. and that's why we can have the sloths, the monkeys, the birds, the lizards all kind of doing their own thing. it's so fascinating just watching the way he eats. in the claw, using the beak to scrape the nut. when the pandemic hit last year, it must�*ve been so tough for you. it's not what you guys can flip the switch off, go home and come back in a few months. no, definitely not. so considering there are thousands of animals and plants around here that are relying on us for their survival no matter what, but we knew that's what needed to happen and so it's what we were happy — more than happy to do, and that is how we got through it. in addition to being able to see wildlife from the aerial walkways, there are also programmes here that give you the chance to get up close to some of the more intimidating residents, like a shoal of deadly flesh—eating hungry piranhas. matt, are you sure this is safe? absolutely, it's safe. i've noticed you've got a cut on your hand. is that cool? yeah, not a problem. it's alright to roll with you? yep. chicken — just doing their chickens, we're gonna watch from about 1.5m away. yep, yep. it'll be absolutely fine. and how many piranhas are in here? around 500. 500, nice. yeah. 0k. i'll see you on other side. chuckles. sounds good! let's go. thankfully, iam not on the menu today, which is a blessing considering how hungry these fish look. the murder from psycho plays. god, the speed in which those things devoured that chicken — chuckles — was unbelievable. i had to keep telling myself "they're not gonna eat my feet. "they're not gonna eat my feet." but interestingly, it was not the piranhas that was the most terrifying things. the pacu — the size of them! they're like this! some of them at the bottom are even bigger, so i think that was the more disconcerting thing for me but that was brilliant. i learned a lot about piranhas today. they don't want to eat me, and that's good. towards the end of every day here at green planet, the artificial heavens open and the whole biodome is soaked in a warm tropical downpour as some of the more nocturnal animals wake up and others start thinking about heading for bed — which is exactly what i'm going to do, thanks to an overnight camping programme they also run here. so the last thing i thought i would be doing when i was told i would be coming to dubai would be camping overnight with nothing but lemurs, parrots and a tarantula to keep me company. i have a feeling the morning is going to be very early and very, very loud. the lights go out at midnight. wish me luck. owl hoots. sleeping in a tent inside a building that's pretending to be outside. only in dubai! well, that's all we've got time for this week but do join us next week, if you can, when... buongiorno! christa is in sardinia, one of only a handful of designated uber—healthy blue zones around the world where your chances of living to 100 and beyond are pretty high. 0h! all this, and you live a long life. it's a pretty good way of life, i think. do catch that if you can and don't forget, you can watch more of our adventures on bbc iplayer. and from me, lucy hedges and the rest of the travel show team here in dubai, it's goodbye. good morning welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and ben thompson. our headlines today: mandatory mask—wearing in shops and on public transport is being reintroduced in england, after two confirmed uk cases of the omicron variant of coronavirus we need to take targeted and proportionate measures now as a precaution while we find out more. european ministers, minus britain's home secretary priti patel, meet for talks in calais today about trying to stop migration across the channel. weather warnings remain in place across much of northern britain, as the clean up from storm arwen continues a much calmer day of weather but it is an icy start for some and wintry showers in the forecast but some awesome sunshine as well. it's five wins from five in world cup qualifying for england's women. ellen white with the winner on her 100th appearance for her country. it's sunday 28th november. our main story: borisjohnson has announced measures to reduce the spread of the new covid—19 variant, omicron, after two cases were detected in the uk. all travellers entering britain will now have to take a pcr test within two days, and must self isolate, until they test negative. all those who've been in contact with someone who has the omicron variant, will also have to self—isolate for 10 days, regardless of whether they've been vaccinated. face coverings will once again become compulsory in shops and on public transport in england from next week. in scotland, wales and northern ireland they're already mandatory on public transport and in many indoor areas. katharine da costa reports. it is hard to believe just a week ago no—one had even heard of omicron, a highly mutated covid variant that may spread more rapidly and could make vaccines less effective. but with the confirmation of two cases of the variant here in the uk, concerns have escalated quickly. our scientists are learning more hour by hour and it does appear that omicron spreads very rapidly and can be spread between people who are double vaccinated. there is also a very extensive mutation which means it diverges quite significantly from previous configurations of the virus and, as a result, it might at least in part reduce the protection of our vaccines over time. four more countries in southern africa have been added to the travel red list, bringing the total to ten. from next week there will be new targeted restrictions, all international arrivals must take a pcr test on day two and self isolate until they receive a negative result, all contacts of suspected omicron cases must self isolate regardless of the vaccine status and in england face coverings will be mandatory in shops and on public transport as is the case already in other uk nations. the point we have at the moment is there's a lot of uncertainty about the new omicron variant and because of that uncertainty it is sensible to take a precautionary approach until we know which way things are going. the government had been criticised for being too slow to act with delta — this time they've move quickly but the opposition thinks they could have gone further. the government's plan b has always been our plan a. we think that mask wearing should be commonplace in public spaces, especially indoors. we think that people should be able to work from home where that is possible. i think we should have been doing all those things already so of course we want them to be doing that now. the message is vaccines are still our best defence. mrjohnson said they plan to boost the booster campaign and would ask the jcvi whether they should be offered to all adults and if the gap should be shortened between the second and third doses. we do not yet exactly know how effective our vaccines will be against omicron, but we have good reasons for believing they will provide at least some measure of protection and, if you are boosted, your response is likely to be stronger. so it is more vital than ever that people get theirjabs and we get those boosters into arms as fast as possible. the prime minister said he thought christmas would be better than last year. the new measures will be reviewed in three weeks, by which time we should know how big a threat omicron poses and whether ministers have done enough to limit its spread. katharine da costa, bbc news. our political correspondent jonathan blakejoins us now. when will be here more from the government? the when will be here more from the government?— when will be here more from the government? when will be here more from the covernment? ., ,, . ., , , government? the health secretary is auoin to government? the health secretary is aoian to set government? the health secretary is going to set out _ government? the health secretary is going to set out more _ government? the health secretary is going to set out more details - government? the health secretary is going to set out more details later. going to set out more details later this morning appearing on the andrew barr programme and we expect him to confirm the new restrictions will be with us in england very soon. at the beginning of this coming week there will be a vote in parliament where mp5 will be able to approve the changes. that will almost certainly go the government's weight although labour will argue the government should be going further and implementing more measures. involving covid passports and other measures as well, asking more people to work from home. for the time being, there are some details that need to be worked out for the measures that the government is taking. for example, with the pcr tests when people return from abroad and also the issue of isolation. at the moment it would be the case you need to isolate if you have come into contact with someone confirmed to have the new variant and while it is relatively thin on the ground in terms of prevalence, that is easy to manage but if it ends up being more dominant, you will have larger number of people needed to isolate. the measures will be reviewed in three weeks. we cannot say yet whether they will be removed, strengthen, that will be coming up very close to christmas so some big decisions to be made. the scientists and the government will know more about the new variant of course. we will talk more about some implications for travel as far as testing and isolation and warranty is concerned in about ten minutes time. israel has announced it will ban foreigners from entering the country for 14 days to halt the spread of the new variant. meanwhile in amsterdam, 61 people who arrived on two flights from south africa on friday are infected with covid—19 and have been placed into isolation while authorities test. the dutch health authorities are conducting further testing to see if any of them are carrying the recently discovered omicron variant. our correspondent anna holligan is outside schiphol airport for us this morning. anna, what's the latest? they are being held in a hotel or at home not far from here and the dutch ministry does night confirmed some of them are probably carrying the new variant. it means, it is quite surprising, there is no security at the hotel and guests from elsewhere can stay there and that the flights are continuing to arrive saturday there is one coming in from johannesburg, one from cape town although i havejust spoken johannesburg, one from cape town although i have just spoken to schiphol airport and there will be pcr tests to passengers as soon as they arrive at their is a huge degree of concern within dutch society which is already experiencing record—breaking covid infection rate so new measures coming to place today. bars, restaurants, non—essential shops, gyms will be closed between five in the evening and 5am, design to ease pressure in the hospitals because there is a shortage of intensive care beds, operations are being cancelled and delayed and hundreds of people are dying of covid here every week and so they really trying to battle these and on top of that, the booster programme is slow. the over 805 and health workers are just being invited forward for that. now we have the new variant to content. some positive news, there have been no rights so something to be dreadful for.— no rights so something

secretary priti patel will not be there however, after being uninvited amidst worsening anglo—french relations. our correspondent lucy williamson is in calais for us this morning. bring us up—to—date

it has also been telling the uk, this is not just a bilateral problem between us, you need to talk to the eu as a whole but the fact of the home secretary has been disinvited really highlights the tensions around these issues that have been made worse by the mood around brexit and i think it is to make cooperation perhaps even more difficult in the future. the two countries, france and the uk have been operating on tackling the networks. since the beginning of this year france says they have broken up 44 smuggling networks and made 1500 arrests but it is a difficult problem simply because there are many different networks in operation and they shift all the time. ., ~' ,, , . severe weather warnings remain in place across much of scotland and northern england this morning, as the effects of storm arwen continue to disrupt transport networks and power supplies. three people are now known to have died after gale force winds brought down trees and damaged buildings, with heavy snowfall leaving hundreds of drivers stranded. greg mckenzie has more. a winter wonderland for many across large parts of northern britain but for others, a day of disruption, with road and rail travel affected, power lines brought down in swaledale, in the yorkshire dales, leaving many without electricity. the situation made worse in some places by heavy snow. a lot of the people are reasonably well—prepared because they live here and it is sort of a thing that happens occasionally during the winter but we do have people like our neighbour, patricia, who they do struggle quite a lot �*cause they do not have heating, they do not have the sort of flexibility to cope. across the uk, falling trees have killed three people. one man in aberdeenshire, another in cumbria and a third in antrim. francis lagan died when galeforce winds brought a large branch down to his car. onto his car. he was travelling with his wife and two of his children at the time. scotland and the north—east of england felt storm arwen's full force, battered by strong winds of nearly 100 mph. i had two kids in here as well and they were freaking out. is that a thunderstorm? but i think it was the roof coming apart and it sounded a bit like thunderstorm. scotrail says several of its routes will be suspended until the end of today. network rail scotland saying the situation was one of the most challenging in recent memory. announcement: we have no metro services operating systemwide... in newcastle upon tyne, the metro network was brought to a standstill when it should have been heaving with christmas shoppers. this is certainly one of the worse winter storms we have seen in the entire history of the metro, which goes back 41 years, certainly in terms of the scale and the speed of the damage that was caused by the galeforce winds. it has been horrendous for us, it has wiped out the entire system. lner says its customers should not travel north of york today because they are not able to run trains between newcastle and edinburgh. and at gwryck castle in north wales, all the celebrities are out and back in covid isolation. while they wait for technical problems to be repaired. storm arwen knocked out the show�*s production base, forcing cancellation of this weekend's planned episodes. a5 for today, a yellow warning for ice will remain in place until 11 o'clock this morning. it has been issued for northern and eastern scotland, along with much of the north of england. the uk health security agency has issued a coldweather alert until monday afternoon and is advising people to check—in on older neighbours or relatives, especially those who live alone. greg mckenzie, bbc news. travel restrictions and mandatory pcr tests are among the measures announced by the prime minister, aimed at reducing the spread of a new variant of coronavirus, known as omicron. let's find out more about what you can expect if you're returning from abroad. we're joined now by professor clare bryant, an expert in immunity and infection at the university of cambridge and also from florida by simon calder, travel editor at the independent. simon, let's start with you because i want to talk about some of the changing rules and many people will be confused about what they have to do. ., , ., be confused about what they have to do. . , ., , , be confused about what they have

thing is that we do not know i main thing is that we do not know what the timing is so at the moment it is as you were which is that anybody coming in from abroad must have a lateral flow test booked and they need to have that on the day they need to have that on the day they arrive. then once they have that booked and they have a code number and fill in the passenger locator form. number and fill in the passenger locatorform. what number and fill in the passenger locator form. what we number and fill in the passenger locatorform. what we heard number and fill in the passenger locator form. what we heard last night from the prime minister and the health secretary is that instead you will need a pcr test and, crucially, it is when you are getting back on getting the result of that pcr test you are going to have to self isolated. so it completely changes everything but the big problem is we do not know when that is going to happen. certainly no more news this morning and it is simply one of those things that they announce and everyone thought, what am i going to do?! there are thousands of people arriving on overnight flights this morning to heathrow and manchester and gatwick and they are still working through the old system which is that all they can do at the moment. is that all they can do at the moment-— is that all they can do at the moment. . ., ., y ., is

agree? it is challenging. the rationale behind needing a i agree? it is challenging. the i rationale behind needing a pcr agree? it is challenging. the - rationale behind needing a pcr test is that anybody who does return from somewhere with covid will know what strain of covid they have and that will help us monitor whether or not a cron is spreading and coming further into the country. that is the rationale behind going to do that. of course we already know that the viruses here because there are two cases here at the moment but they, we know where they are and those people are in isolation and that allows our government to monitor viruses at the moment. where the moment. where the strain of the viruses. ~ , , .., . the moment. where the strain of the viruses. ~ , , . ., viruses. why is

the real concern about the strain is that it is carrying i the strain is that it is carrying many mutations, particularly a lot of mutations in the spiked protein and many more than we have seen before and all of our vaccines are made against that spiked protein so the concern here is that the vaccines will not be able to provide us with full protection against the owner cron strain and secondly it is highly transmissible. so both these problems are the reason why the government has been cautious about covid at the moment.— covid at the moment. simon, let's talk more about _ covid at the moment. simon, let's talk more about the _ covid at the moment. simon, let's talk more about the travel- talk more about the travel implications. at the time, you know, the government was criticised for not acting quickly enough the first time around inputting restrictions on travel from overseas and this time they have acted quite quickly but some say it is owner is on the industry that are still struggling to get off the ground. it certainly is, es. i to get off the ground. it certainly is, yes. i already— to get off the ground. it certainly is, yes. i already had _ to get off the ground. it certainly is, yes. i already had many- to get off the ground. it certainly. is, yes. i already had many people getting in touch saying help, i have booked a lateral flow test for a family of four that will cost around £100. and they are faced with paying for the much slower and more expensive test, the pcr test which, if you are going to do what i am going to do i get back, you take at the airport as soon as you arrive so that you are self isolating for them minimum length of time. i've checked prices, heathrow, £119. multiply that for a family of four and that is £500 that people simply were not expecting to spend. besides people who are paying for testing, this whole episode undermines confidence. people will be thinking, hang on, the rules are changing, of course we now have ten southern african countries from where people have to come back and go into hotel quarantine at a cost of around £2000 per person. so that is not going to persuade people great, let's book a christmas break. and we do not get a review of the new system until one week before christmas. so it is not as though people can easily think, 0k, as though people can easily think, ok, let'sjust wait as though people can easily think, ok, let's just wait and see when things change. they may change on december 18, they may not. and things change. they may change on december 18, they may not. and that is what i wanted _ december 18, they may not. and that is what i wanted to _ december 18, they may not. and that is what i wanted to ask. _ december 18, they may not. and that is what i wanted to ask. many - december 18, they may not. and that is what i wanted to ask. many people| is what i wanted to ask. many people will try to plan christmas and they may be thinking about going skiing in the new year, easter holidays, maybe even as far as summer. no—one can really plan anything with any certainty right now, can they? that is the problem. _ certainty right now, can they? trust is the problem. one of the best aspects of any holiday, anyjourney is the anticipation but instead of that i see lots and lots of apprehension in people who have got christmas and new year, early 2022 skiing holidays booked. at the moment, switzerland has put on quarantine people coming in from the uk because we have omicron here. and that means that, of course, geneva, the key gateway for many of the french and swiss alps is very uncertain at the moment. but, please, if you are watching this, if you have a trip booked, i understand you have a trip booked, i understand you are feeling anxious about what is happening, don't do anything hasty, because if you make a change if you decide, ok, that needs to be cancelled now then you will almost certainly lose out. and poor travel agents, tomorrow morning they will not be selling many holidays. they will be dealing with loads of people who want to know what is happening with their holiday. it who want to know what is happening with their holiday.— with their holiday. it will be a similar scenario _ with their holiday. it will be a similar scenario for _ with their holiday. it will be a similar scenario for people i with their holiday. it will be a l similar scenario for people who with their holiday. it will be a - similar scenario for people who work in retail, for example, having to face enforcement of masks once again. concerned that there is a certain amount of restriction and fatigue that members of the public will feel that we have been here done this and i don't want to do it again was to mark i am concerned that there will be an amount of fatigue about the whole issue of dealing with covid. but fatigue about the whole issue of dealing with covid.— fatigue about the whole issue of dealing with

the i dealing with covid. but we really don't have any choice. the maskj don't have any choice. the mask wearing does help to reduce transmission and it should help to slow down the spread of the variant until we know what is going on. and the key thing is that we just do not know whether the strain will be more transmissible until we see what happens in south africa and we will have a clear idea and a couple of weeks time and presumably that is why the government put this time limit on their restrictions. what limit on their restrictions. what would you _ limit on their restrictions. what would you say _ limit on their restrictions. what would you say to _ limit on their restrictions. what would you say to an _ limit on their restrictions. what would you say to an immunologist watching this and thinking, well, the double jab may not work, what is the double jab may not work, what is the point in going to a booster was to mark the thing about the vaccines is that although this strain might evade immunity a bit we do not know if it will evade immunity totally and it is highly likely that the vaccines will help to protect against severe disease and give us some protection. 50 i against severe disease and give us some protection.— some protection. so i would really encouraae some protection. so i would really encourage everybody _ some protection. so i would

media and many of them anxious about future bookings. many of them also abroad at the moment say, help, what we do? there is no clarity from about when this will change. if they do change then, of course, people who booked a lateral flow test will suddenly find they have to book a completely new test with no guarantee that the testing company will allow you, as it were, to upgrade and, also, the postal test which frankly many people have been taking quite slowly and there are stories of results not coming back for weeks, that will not work. you have to stay at home until your negative test arrives. so, please, if you have not booked a test do not leave it until the last minute. i fly out at seven o'clock on friday, around mid afternoon i will stop booking test and filling in the passenger locator form. there booking test and filling in the passenger locatorform. there is no point booking anything before that and things can change, as we are seen, and people will lose out. of

was a really cold start to sunday here and, yes, as you say, some snow falling in places. this is west lothian in the south of scotland. you will see some wintry showers through today and it will be a cold day but a bright day. there will be good spells of sunshine as well. this is what is going on at the moment. our earlier radar pictures, a bit of a mess, wintry showers still across the east coast of england and wintry showers out towards the west and this area of rain sleet and snow pushing southwards across scotland as we have seen by nine o'clock we expect that that area of rain sleet and snow to continue its journey south eastwards and it is also an icy start across parts of scotland and down into northern england. northern ireland had acquired a cloudy start with spots of rain here, mostly rain, a little wintry and is mixing in over the high ground. some of this went on wintry weather getting into north—west england, a few showers for wells the south—western plenty of wintry showers across eastern england where it is still quite but much calmer than yesterday. through the day we will keep wintry showers in eastern england was no possible to lower levels in east anglia. this area of rain sleet and snow again could give us a covering of snow and low levels, parts of east wales and into the midlands. but as wendy as it was yesterday and most of us some good spells of sunshine but, still feeling cold. these are the top temperatures. 2-8 . as these are the top temperatures. 2—8 . as we go through this evening and tonight we will keep some of those wintry showers coming across eastern england, at least for a time. we will also then see an area of cloud and patchy rain pushing into northern ireland, western scotland a bit of snow on the leading edge of that because it runs into cold air, most of the starting monday morning on a cold and frosty note although mild by the end of the night, because northern ireland and western scotland as this band of cloud and patchy rain works its way eastwards. any wintry weather will tend to turn back to rain because the air will be turning milder here. the wind going around westerleigh so by the end of monday, damages for the likes of belfast, glasgow and stornoway up to 10 degrees, further east where we hold onto some sunshine we also hold onto the chill. three, four, orfive degrees across parts of eastern england. but we do have a wedge of milder air working its way into the picture for tuesday. a very different feel by tuesday. a very different feel by tuesday. yes, there will be some outbreaks of rain especially up towards the north and west of the uk and it will be quite breezy those temperatures, up to 12 or 13 degrees. hard to imagine right now. doesn't turn little colder than from midweek onwards but it does not look like we will see anything remotely as cold as it is right now. certainly, here is the good news, nothing as stormy as we had to start off this weekend. more weather later in the programme but for now it is back to ben and nina. less cold and less stormy, we will take that. thank you. it is december, well, it will be, remember that. it is december, well, it will be, rememberthat. now it is december, well, it will be, remember that. now at 28 minutes past seven let's return to one of our top stories and the news that a meeting of european ministers in calais later will discuss how to stop banks sending migrants across the channel in small boats. priti patel had her _ the channel in small boats. priti patel had her invitation to a meeting withdrawn because of a diplomatic row between britain and france. for more on those tensions let's speak to the journalist and commentator angus warrior. thank you for being with us, agnes. that meeting gets under way in the uk home secretary will not be there. i wonder what the aim of these talks will be given that this needs to be a joined up effort, doesn't it? there will be british officials they are, of course. it is a joint effort, a european effort and i do hope that the conversations will continue and perhaps be done discreetly and not by twitter. i think that was the reason that priti patel was disinvited. i think the french government wants to have a serious conversation with its british counterparts because the situation is very difficult and serious and has been going on for a long time. it has nothing to do with brexit. we had a calais migrant crisis for 30 years now and we have a treaty that we signed 18 years ago and the game going on in britain that i know all too well, blaming the french, that will not resolve anything, especially when it is france shielding the british border. quite successfully on the whole. 50, yes, let's hope that the meeting today will be fruitful. figs yes, let's hope that the meeting today will be fruitful.— today will be fruitful. as you say this issue became _ today will be fruitful. as you say this issue became the _ today will be fruitful. as you say this issue became the hugely i this issue became the hugely politicised on both sides of the channel. i wonder how easy it will be to put the politics aside and focus on the issue at hand. that is why they need to be done not in the glare of tabloids, you like, and certainly not on twitter. we are used to seeing diplomacy by twitter from the us, from president trump and not from a country like britain and not from a country like britain and the british prime minister. we hope borisjohnson is going to leave this aside because it is very serious. we're talking about human beings is that you can call them economic migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, but those people do not want to stay in france. they are offered to have their application processed in france but they seem to have very good reasons to want to reach the uk otherwise they would not risk their lives and britain has a very good reasons to maintain control of its bodice and the french, especially the french from the calais region, can say it is not working. let us and it and let britain deal with its bodice in britain. it is a complex issue. —— borders. the thinks we have seen on british media is not

i problem on the border? first of all. there is a bafflement at some of the british media's reaction. remember a few days ago seeing the front pages of the british newspapers and french newspapers and when the daily mail says things it is not helpful. the french police is in effect securing the british bodice and let's say for 25,000 refugees that managed to get to britain, another 50,000 are blocked by the french police and the reason why we have this crisis on the sea is because the french police have successfully blocked other routes. remember, years ago, the migrants going through the tunnel with trained, with sheep and it has all been a block successfully. trains and ships. now it is the sea which is a barrier but can also potentially be a graveyard and we do not want to see the tragedy we have seenin not want to see the tragedy we have seen in the last few days happening again and i am afraid it will happen again and i am afraid it will happen again if britain, france and europe did not go on the table and try to solve it. but can it be solved? the migrant process is a story of misplacement of walls outside the doors of europe. —— wars. can it be sold? i don't know but

visitors looking to impress their expected new interim manager ralf rangnick. and the chelsea boss, thomas tuchel — a protege of rangnick — isn't ruling out a united challenge for the title. maybe i still am. i will never write anybody off, not in this league and not in this game, because it is a big club, festival, but it is a very experience individual. —— first of all. a top level group of players. hearts are up to second in the scottish premiership, three points behind leaders rangers, after beating st mirren 2—0 at tynecastle. stephen kingsley�*s superb free kick sealed the victory. elsewhere there were wins for hibs and dundee. rangers and celtic are in action later today. history was going to be made at twickenham yesterday, because for the first time the barbarians men's and women's rugby teams were due to be playing in a double bill at the same ground. however, the men's game against samoa was cancelled, due to six confirmed covid cases in the babas team. but the women's match against south africa did go ahead, in front of a record crowd for a women's international. the barbarians ran in 10 tries with three for sarah levy as they hammered the springboks by 60 points to 5. the game was also the last for england's world cup winning captain katy daley—mclean, who is retiring. if i'm honest, i did not expect it to be half as good as this. obviously i had the opportunity to play at twickenham on my last international retirement but they got involved into this and to play with these guys has been one of the greatest honours. i have done some amazing things but i can't underestimate how special this is, to see family and friends in this kind of scene. what happened with the guys wasn't great but for me it could not get any more special. in tennis, great britain beat france 2—1 in their first tie at this year's davis cup finals. dan evans was up against adrian mannarino in the first rubber, and he enjoyed a straightfoward victory, winning in straight sets. that left british number one cameron norrie knowing that the tie would effectively be over if he managed to beat arthur rinderknech. it was another straight sets victory for great britain. they then lost the in the doubles, but won 2—1 overall. britain will be through to the quarter—finals if they beat the czech republic today. and finally no competition for the most bizarre match of the weekend. that came in portugal's primera liga. belenenses began their match against benfica withjust nine players — including two goalkeepers — after a covid outbreak. check out their teamsheet. conceded an own goal in the first minute, it was 7—0 at half time. then suffered a series of injuries and the match was abandoned in the second half because they only had six players on the pitch!

can i start by asking you about the latest development in mask wearing? how difficult will it be to return to enforcement across the network? i don't think it would be difficult at all. we are getting the details from the government in the next day or two and then posting on our website and handing out posters. i think we have always been asking people throughout the pandemic to always wear a mask, particularly when it is busy. we think we should continue by train with confidence. we have good ventilation, lots of cleaning so people should feel confident about travelling via train. it is people should feel confident about travelling via train.— travelling via train. it is not mandatory _ travelling via train. it is not mandatory and _ travelling via train. it is not mandatory and i _

change should mean is can be a bit more forthright in asking people to wear masks. our staff will continue to challenge people or asked them politely but ultimately what we will be relying on is the long arm of the law. transport police to help us. if it gets that way. we hope it does not get to that. we think the majority of people will want to do the right thing and return wearing masks. let's talk about storm arwen. which part of the country continue to have issues around the network? this mornin: issues around the network? this morning we _ issues around the network? tn 3 morning we would advise anyone to go online and get train information, particularly north of england. carlisle, newcastle. north of that, we are advising people not to travel and in scotland a number of routes which are down. please check and think carefully about whether you really need to make yourjourney. also in wales there are still a few problems. check before you travel. if you have been disrupted, clearly we are sorry about that. i know how frustrating it is when journeys are disrupted. go online and go to the places we you bought your tickets to claim your compensation. it is places we you bought your tickets to claim your compensation.— claim your compensation. it is a auestion claim your compensation. it is a question that — claim your compensation. it is a question that comes _ claim your

had one incident where something blue off the roof and the team coming to clean it up got stuck in the motorway because it was close. ultimately, we cannot strip all the trees out of the railway. we have got trees by the tracks for might say, get rid of them but actually there are people who say you cannot get rid of them, they have birds nesting, they reduce noise from the trains for houses near the tracks. we keep a close eye on what is on the side of the track and whether trees are going to fall down and we monitor them very carefully but these events are increasingly not extraordinary so we do need can you explain the parameters around which people are entitled to compensation, if they took the decision to travel — like doctor travel but there was no disruption to the root, can you still get conversation? the advice is not to travel unless necessary. £311" conversation? the advice is not to travel unless necessary. our advice is if ou travel unless necessary. our advice is if

entitled to compensation. many thanks. i think you have a busy week ahead of you in more ways than one. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. there is a let up in one sense. it is much calmer wind wise than yesterday but there is still some wintry weather around. that was the scene earlier on in bridlington on the east coast of england. cold and bright today. there will be some sunshine but still some wintry showers, and this is the radar picture from a short time ago. we have an area of rain and sleet and snow pushing south across scotland. mostly patchy rain for northern ireland and showers for the south—west, lots of wintry showers pushing down the east of england and also ice across a good part of scotland and northern england because temperatures did plummet. some every sunshine but some rain and sleet and snow pushing south east across scotland and parts of north—west england and northern ireland having quite a cloudy start and mostly some rain here and a bit of winteriness of a high ground. some show is drifting across west wales and the far south—west of england and lost up wintry showers for eastern england were still quite blustery but not nearly as windy as yesterday. this little lump of rain, sleet and snow pushing south through the day through parts of wales and the day through parts of wales and the midlands could give some snow to relatively low levels and we could also see snow at quite low levels across east anglia. not as windy as it was, still quite breezy particularly in eastern parts of england and temperatures, it is a struggle to eat degrees but it will not be as windy so it may not feel quite so called as yesterday. tonight still some of those wintry showers than the east coast of england and this band of cloud and rain pushing into scotland and northern ireland. a bit of snow on the leading edge of that, especially over high ground in scotland because it runs on to call the many of us again seeing a frost tonight. a bit milder by the end of the night across parts of northern ireland in western scotland. that is a theme for tomorrow. western scotland. that is a theme fortomorrow. is western scotland. that is a theme for tomorrow. is this band of cloud and rain works east we see westerly winds develop and temperatures will start to climb so by the afternoon start to climb so by the afternoon star glasgow, belfast looking at highs of 10 degrees, paired with three orfour orfive four highs of 10 degrees, paired with three or four or five four hull, norwich and london but at least the people hold onto sunshine. on tuesday milder air across all parts of the uk and a very different feel to the weather. by tuesday we could be looking at highs of 12 possiblea 13 degrees. there will be some wind and rain towards the north—west and and rain towards the north—west and a little cooler from and rain towards the north—west and a little coolerfrom midweek and rain towards the north—west and a little cooler from midweek onwards but not nearly as stormy as it has been. we're staying on the bbc news channel until nine o'clock this morning. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now. now it's time for click with spencer kelly and lara lewington. are you ready for today's teaser? go on, then! right, what does this penguin, this building in iceland, a huge digital artwork and this slamming basketball block all have in common? ah, our most loyal viewers might know! yes, they will. they've all turned up in our attempts to explain the blockchain — the buzzword of the decade, the thing that every business needs. does it really? no, but go with me. and the thing that's currently burning through more electricity than the country of argentina as people use blockchain technology to try and get rich on cryptocurrency. so, the blockchain is a way of storing ownership records. it can prove that you own a bitcoin, a house or even a video clip. that proof is a unique token that is non—changeable, non—fungible — it's a non—fungible token, or nft. personally, i've always been sceptical of whether nfts are a sensible idea, but there are plenty of people who've bought into them, literally. ownership rights for some digital artworks have gone for millions of dollars, and collins dictionary has just made nft its word of the year. and just last week, a new development — a group of people got together and tried to crowdfund enough money to buy a printed copy of the us constitution at auction. they were outbid despite claiming to raise $40 million. but had they been successful, each of the thousands of contributors would've had the right to vote on what happened to the historic document next. so they could vote to put it on public display. oooh! they could vote to sell it on, or anything in between. yes, and whatever they voted to do would have been handled by a decentralised autonomous organisation - a dao. but what on earth does that mean? a dao is similar in some ways to some of these financial flash mobs or crowdsourcing activities, where you get a bunch of people coming together, they put some money into something to buy an asset. the difference is that in one of those activities, there are people who are recognise — recognisably running the show and are in charge of thinking it through. in a dao, we are defining it all upfront and then we're letting it run its own course. and this idea can be used for anything. a group of people have got together on the internet to raise funds for a dao to buy this area of woodland in wiltshire, in the south of england, and they can decide how it's managed. so a dao is a way of setting up an organisation that is — that uses the blockchain to sort of manage membership and let people organise around a particular cause or project. the treedao is this project to buy a woodland and then let the local community sort of take control of that woodland and vote on what happens to it, using the blockchain, using smart contracts. smart contracts, they sort of run automatically, so instead of having to appoint a treasurer and a secretary, people can use their membership tokens to vote on things. it's about being able to determine that you hold a vote in the governance of the forest, so you can determine, you know, what's allowed to happen here and you can vote on, you know, making sure it doesn't get turned into firewood. i've been fascinated by the technology and how daos is a new way of organising people around projects and i really wanted to see what you could do in terms of — like, there are daos that, you know, just live on the blockchain and don't interface with the real world, and i really wanted to see what you could do, whether a dao could own a real—world asset like a forest, and so this was sort of an experiment to see how this sort of new blockchain technology could interface with the real world. and i was just very lucky that, you know, i sent out a tweet on monday morning and we'd raised 100 f — which at the time was about £100,000 — by thursday morning, and then we had to go and find a forest to buy, so we actually raised the money before we — before we started looking for a forest. yeah, a dao could be used for — for anything. it could be used for organising around a particular cause, or you could buy a football team or you could use it to advocate for a particular change in the law. it — like, i think daos are gonna be a new way of people organising for sort of any — any reason, really. anyone can buy into the forest by purchasing an nft. it'll come with the gps co—ordinates of an exact spot in the woodland. but if people who live locally buy in, it also means that they have a say in an area that they use and love. i mean, one of the — one of the joys of the internet has always been that you can raise your hand and find people like you, wherever they are in the world. you know, tisbury�*s catchment area's like 6,000 people. the advantage of this is that we can reach to anybody as far as you like who wants to protect woodlands. yeah, as you walk around the, you know, the woodland, as an owner, you know, it — it's subtle, but a really important, you know, feeling. like, it feels like it's ours and i think the exciting thing is we can now bring that sense of 'ourness' to other people — anyone who becomes an nftree holder. we've been waiting for this for 20 years and, you know, here it is. like everything to do with crypto and blockchain, there is a huge buyer beware to getting involved. some initiatives are legitimate, but others are scams, and sometimes, it can be very hard to tell the difference. treedao says that what it's doing shows how this new way of running things could be used responsibly and effectively. but it's early days for these ideas, so what daos really end up being used for could surprise us all. now, do you remember yourfirst mobile phone? oh, the nostalgia and the battery life! well, now, over 2,000 old models have been put in a mobile phone museum for safekeeping. and although it is generally an online venue, chris fox went to its glitzy london launch this week. i'm here at the launch of the mobile phone museum in london, a collection of more than 2,000 unique mobile phones from history, and i'm here with the curator, ben wood. you're going to take me down a little trip on memory lane. i'd love to show you all 2,120 phones, but what we're going to do today is pick a few out, and we've got some collections that we've curated for the museum tonight, and the first one is what we consider one of the ugliest phones in the collection. oh, ok! wow. whoever designed this will be upset! 0h, not this! laughs now, i think i knew people at school who had this and it looks very cool, but just totally impractical to text on. so this is the nokia 7600. it was nokia's first commercial 3g phone and, as you said, it was at the time when texting was very popular and i guess there was an idea that you could text using your thumbs down the side, but it was counter—intuitive. but look at it — i mean, it's not really a thing of beauty. other phones in the ugly collection include the ntt personal, which won a design award back in 1995, but due to its shape is now known as 'the toilet seat phone'. and this is the i—kid�*s sf from 2006, which has rabbit ears to make it appeal to children. 0h! gasps wait, is this...? is this from tomorrow never dies? it is! ah! i love this! and this must open up into... gasps i remember this — you can drag yourfinger across and drive the car. also, we have the fingerprint scanner here, so you may remember in the film that was done. also, there was a magical screwdriver that you could use to open a safe. does it also do the, "recall, three, send"? the piece de resistance, which is very difficult to make in a model... yeah! the taser! both laugh other movie phones in the collection include the nokia 8110 banana phone from the matrix, nokia's first slider phone. the version in the movie was spring—loaded but the real one, you had to open by hand. and this white sony ericsson is another bond phone — this one owned by vesper lynd in casino royale. i want to show you a phone which was the phone which the first mobile phone call in the uk was made on. this is the vodafone vt1. a phone call was made onjanuary 1, 1985. so the numbers are on here... yep! ..and then you... hello? just check out the weight. 0h — oh, wow, ok. so where do i put the apps? oh, you might struggle with the apps on that one! this was my favourite category because there were so many world firsts, like the ibm simon, blending computer—style features with a phone. it's widely considered one of the first smartphones of a sort — although it wasn't branded as one in 1993. sharp's j—phone from the year 2000 is considered by the museum to be the first full—camera phone. terribly low resolution by today's standards, but it sold out in two weeks injapan. it had a mirror on the back for taking selfies. first android looked very different from today's phones with a full physical keyboard, but in many ways, the first iphone doesn't look that different from today's devices. and this was the first pocketable phone from 1986, at a time when mobiles were typically still bricks. its designer, nils martensson, was one of the special guests i met at the museum. we had commissioned stanford research in america to forecast how many cellular telephones there would be in america year 2000. and they came back with the expensive report and said, "we think that there may be as many as 30,000 in america "by year 2000." and i think had they said 30 million, they would have been a little off the mark, even with that figure. everyone's going to know this one. we're on bestsellers. is it going to be the 3310? let's see. there it is, yep. old and trusty. trusty and hardy. 3310. controversial — i actually think the 3210 looks better. that's the one i had and i never upgraded because i thought the other one looked — like, this looked cheapersomehow, but... but a phenomenal commercial success — 126 million phones sold, the equivalent of the japanese population. every single person would have one. it's iconic. and do you know what? it's the one phone, when i take it to the museum and show people, everyone knows the 3310. and that's it for the short version of the programme. the full—length show can be found on iplayer. and throughout the week, you can keep up with the team on social media. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter — @bbcclick. thanks for watching. bye—bye. good morning welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and ben thompson. our headlines today... mandatory mask—wearing in shops and on public transport is being reintroduced in england, after two confirmed uk cases of the omicron variant of coronavirus. we need to take targeted and proportionate measure is now as a precaution while we find out more. european ministers, minus britain's home secretary priti patel, meet for talks in calais today about trying to stop migration across the channel. weather warnings remain in place across much of northern britain, as the clean up from storm arwen continues. a much calmer day of weather on the way today, but it is an icy start for some. there are some wintry showers in the forecast, but some awesome sunshine as well. goals galore for liverpool as they go second in the premier league. today chelsea can extend their lead at the top against manchester united. it's sunday 28th november. our main story... the health secretary, sajid javid, is expected to give more details of when new covid measures will come into force later today, after two cases of the new variant, omicron, were detected in the uk. all travellers entering britain will now have to take a pcr test within two days, and must self isolate, until they test negative. all those who've been in contact with someone who has the omicron variant, will also have to self—isolate for 10 days, regardless of whether they've been vaccinated. face coverings will once again become compulsory in shops and on public transport in england from next week. in scotland, wales and northern ireland they're already mandatory on public transport and in many indoor areas. katharine da costa reports. it is hard to believe just a week ago no—one had even heard of omicron, a highly mutated covid variant that may spread more rapidly and could make vaccines less effective. but with the confirmation of two cases of the variant here in the uk, concerns have escalated quickly. our scientists are learning more hour by hour and it does appear that omicron spreads very rapidly and can be spread between people who are double vaccinated. there is also a very extensive mutation which means it diverges quite significantly from previous configurations of the virus and, as a result, it might at least in part reduce the protection of our vaccines over time. four more countries in southern africa have been added to the travel red list, bringing the total to ten. from next week there will be new targeted restrictions, all international arrivals must take a pcr test on day two and self isolate until they receive a negative result, all contacts of suspected omicron cases must self isolate regardless of their vaccine status and in england face coverings will be mandatory in shops and on public transport as is the case already in other uk nations. the point we have at the moment is there's a lot of uncertainty about the new omicron variant and because of that uncertainty it is sensible to take a precautionary approach until we know which way things are going. the government had been criticised for being too slow to act with delta — this time they've move quickly this time they've moved quickly but the opposition thinks they could have gone further. the government's plan b has always been our plan a. - we think that mask wearing should be commonplace in public— spaces, especially indoors. we think that people should be able to work from home - where that is possible. i think we should have been doing all those things - already so of course we want them to be doing that now. _ the message is vaccines are still our best defence. mrjohnson said they plan to boost the booster campaign and would ask the jcvi whether they should be offered to all adults and if the gap should be shortened between the second and third doses. we do not yet exactly know how effective our vaccines will be against omicron, but we have good reasons for believing they will provide at least some measure of protection and, if you are boosted, your response is likely to be stronger. so it is more vital than ever that people get theirjabs and we get those boosters into arms as fast as possible. the prime minister said he thought christmas would be better than last year. the new measures will be reviewed in three weeks, by which time we should know how big a threat omicron poses and whether ministers have done enough to limit its spread. katharine da costa, bbc news. our political correspondent jonathan blakejoins us now. the prime minister saying christmas is safe and it will be better than last year at least, but many of the paper speculating this is the beginning of measures of which they could be more to come? thea;r beginning of measures of which they could be more to come?— could be more to come? they could be, but could be more to come? they could be. but we — could be more to come? they could be. but we will _ could be more to come? they could be, but we will not _ could be more to come? they could be, but we will not know— could be more to come? they could be, but we will not know until - could be more to come? they could be, but we will not know until threej be, but we will not know until three weeks' time when the measures are reviewed. but we know the ones the prime minister announced yesterday will be with us very soon. in england, we expected they will be implemented this coming week and the health secretary, sajid javid, will be setting out more details on exactly how they will work and when they will come into force. there will be a vote for mp5 they will come into force. there will be a vote for mps in parliament to approve the measures. they are not particularly controversial in themselves, but labour is arguing themselves, but labour is arguing the government should be going further and implementing its full plan b which would involve covid passports and more people working from home. those measures would be more difficult for some conservative mps to get behind, given arguments they have made previously. but the prime minister said these measures are precautionary, they are temporary. the government is acting more quickly than it has done previously in the pandemic. but it will be another three weeks or so before we know whether these measures are here to stay for a while longer, whether they can be relaxed or possibly that you need to be strengthened face of this new variant of coronavirus, which is, as we have heard, causing a great deal of concern. we have heard, causing a great deal of concern-— of concern. jonathan, in london, many thanks- — the omicron variant has been detected in australia for the first time, in two passengers who were tested after flying into sydney from southern africa. meanwhile in amsterdam, 61 people who arrived on two flights from south africa on friday and tested positive for covid—19, are in isolation while the authorities carry out further tests to see if any of them are carrying the new variant. our correspondent anna holligan is outside schiphol airport for us this morning. anna, what's the latest? they are being held in a hotel not far from they are being held in a hotel not farfrom here, orat home they are being held in a hotel not farfrom here, or at home if they live in the netherlands. the authorities are still doing test, but the dutch health ministry said it is probable some of those passengers are carrying the new strain of this virus. more flights are arriving today, so in a few hours, one from cape town and johannesburg. everyone who arrives on those flights will be immediately pcr tested. but these arrivals are causing a lot of concern in dutch society. they are experiencing record—breaking infection rates. today, as you may know, the new measures come into play so from five o'clock in the evening until five o'clock in the evening until five o'clock in the morning, all bars, cafe is a nonessential shops will be close. and for the next three weeks, this is the time when so many were hoping to recover some of the losses experienced because of the pandemic. but these rules are considered essential to stop the hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. already, there is a shortage of intensive care beds and hospitals are delaying and cancelling operations and hospitals are transferring patients over the border for treatment. there are hundreds of people dying of covid here every week. the booster programme, that is also a concern because it is so slow. the over 805 and health workers are onlyjust being invited for their vaccines. so there is a lot to contend with here. now the new variant probably, but still you can see passengers are coming and going and actually at the hotel where the passengers are supposed to be held in isolation, there is no sign of any security when i visited and other guests are allowed to stay there, too. there is allowed to stay there, too. there is a lot of work to be done and a lot of concern that there is still —— they are still not over this yet. anna, at ten schiphol eto'o, thank you. ministers from belgium, germany and the netherlands are expected in calais today, to discuss the growing risks of migration across the channel. the meeting comes after at least 27 people died trying to reach uk shores on wednesday. the home secretary, priti patel, was due to join the meeting but was uninvited amid growing diplomatic tensions, as our france correspondent lucy williamson reports. they say that people smugglers are the enemy but the fight is pushing london and paris apart. this is not really a bilateral issue, france says. the uk must talk to the eu as a whole. but today the eu will be talking together while london has been left out into the cold. more than half the people in migrant camps here have come from belgium, the government says, in search of the shortest route across the channel to british shores. a few miles from these sodden tents, france's interior minister will meat colleagues from belgium, germany, the netherlands and the eu today to discuss how to tackle the people smuggling networks. the uk's absence highlights the tension this issue is causing. british politicians used to remind their european counterparts during brexit negotiations that the uk was not leaving europe, just leaving the eu. what that distinction means for managing cross channel migration is still being hammered out. lucy williamson, bbc news, calais. several weather warnings remain in place across much of scotland and northern england this morning, as the effects of storm arwen continue to disrupt transport networks and power supplies. three people are now known to have died after gale force winds brought down trees and damaged buildings, with heavy snowfall leaving hundreds of drivers stranded. greg mckenzie has more. a winter wonderland for many across large parts of northern britain but for others, a day of disruption, with road and rail travel affected, power lines brought down in swaledale, in the yorkshire dales, leaving many without electricity. the situation made worse in some places by heavy snow. a lot of the people are reasonably well—prepared because they live here and it is sort of a thing that happens occasionally during the winter but we do have people like our neighbour, patricia, who they do struggle quite a lot 'cause they do not have heating, they do not have the sort of flexibility to cope. across the uk, falling trees have killed three people. one man in aberdeenshire, another in cumbria and a third in antrim. francis lagan died when galeforce winds brought a large branch down to his car. he was travelling with his wife and two of his children at the time. scotland and the north—east of england felt storm arwen's full force, battered by strong winds of nearly 100 mph. i had two kids in here as well and they were freaking out. is that a thunderstorm? but i think it was the roof coming apart and it sounded a bit like thunderstorm. scotrail says several of its routes will be suspended until the end of today. network rail scotland saying the situation was one of the most challenging in recent memory. the message is, check before you travel. i know how frustrating it is, go online and go to the place where you bought your train ticket and claim compensation if you are delayed or had to cancel your journey. lner says its customers should not travel north of york today because they are not able to run trains between newcastle and edinburgh. and at gwryck castle in north wales, all the celebrities are out and back in covid isolation. while they wait for technical problems to be repaired. storm arwen knocked out the show�*s production base, forcing cancellation of this weekend's planned episodes. as for today, a yellow warning for ice will remain in place until 11 o'clock this morning. it has been issued for northern and eastern scotland, along with much of the north of england. the uk health security agency has issued a coldweather alert until monday afternoon and is advising people to check—in on older neighbours or relatives, especially those who live alone. greg mckenzie, bbc news. borisjohnson has described the new covid measures being introduced in england this week as "emporary and precautionary" sake being introduced in england this week as "temporary and precautionary" and said they will be reviewed in three weeks' time, on the last saturday before christmas. we'rejoined now by stephen reicher, professor of social psychology at the university of st andrews and a member of the sage subcommittee advising on behavioural science. good morning. what are your thoughts on how the public _ good morning. what are your thoughts on how the public will _ good morning. what are your thoughts on how the public will react _ good morning. what are your thoughts on how the public will react to - on how the public will react to these measures? i on how the public will react to these measures?— on how the public will react to these measures? i am with chris whi on these measures? i am with chris whitty on this- — these measures? i am with chris whitty on this. he _ these measures? i am with chris whitty on this. he has _ these measures? i am with chris whitty on this. he has changed l these measures? i am with chris i whitty on this. he has changed his mind a little. earlier on in the pandemic he was sceptical about the ability of the public to deal with public measures. but people, by and large, as chris whitty has put it, have been magnificent. the critical thing is trust. it is not whether people are resilient or not, it is whether they trust what is being done is necessary and well thought out. so you have to be transparent and open with people. i think there are other things you need to do to build trust, you need to be supporting people, understanding their situation and dealing with difficulties they've got. but by and large, the evidence throughout the pandemic has shown that the public�*s response has been magnificent. the notion the public are the weak point in the pandemic response and they stop the government from going further, it is wrong. if anything, it is an inversion of the truth. if much of this is based around trust, has the government's authority been undermined recently, do you think? i certainly think it doesn't help when the government start blaming the public for things going wrong. i don't think it helps if the government tell us to do one thing and do another thing themselves. but trust can be rebuiltjust as it can be lost. as i said, transparency, openness and honesty with the public and the other thing i think is important, is, ina and the other thing i think is important, is, in a way to start talking about what we are doing in a different way. one of the problems at the moment is that we talk about any covid measures as restrictions and then we talk about lockdown. nobody wants lockdown because that leads to no measures being taken. the critical measures that need to be taken now are protections and support. they not restrictions, they are the things that, if we do them, we are less likely to need restrictions. things like making sure public spaces are better ventilated and we can see that is true. things like allowing people to work from home, if they are able and want to. they are not taking away choice, they are giving choice to people. a number of those things, which has been recommended by sage are not being implemented. i don't understand why, because they are not about restricting us, they are about keeping us safe and making it less likely we need to take more

individuals making decisions? isis: government talk individuals making decisions? isi2 government talk a lot about personal responsibility. of course, we should take our personal responsibilities. but, for instance, if you have to go to work and mix with people, whatever you want to do, you are still mixing. if you look at the figures, one of the key factors in how fast the infection spread is how many people we have contact with, that number of contacts today is going up. but it is not going up because we are socialising or partying more, waiting up with other people in pubs more, it is going up because we are mixing more at work. therefore, people have no choice but to do things that put them in danger. it is all very well talking about personal responsibility, but the government has got to give us the government has got to give us the protections and the support so we can stay safe. to use another example, this is a key example, we are learning more and more how ventilation is critical, far more important for instance than cleaning hands. so what we thought at the beginning of the pandemic has changed. we do need to make sure the spaces we go into, schools, pubs, clubs, we have to make sure they are well ventilated. we go into a pub and look around and we hope it is going to be ok. if we had much greater clarity and clearer national scheme, whereby ventilation was made necessary. but then if you went into a pub or club you could see a sign on a door telling you how well ventilated is, it would give you choice, allow you to stay safe. plus it will be good for business, if we know places are safe, we are more likely to go out to them. so exercising personal responsibility is important but it depends on the government giving us the support and the information we need. we should be doing more of those things, the low hanging fruit that won't restrict us, but will help keep infections low. we really need to do that. although they are not going up, they are very high, they have been systematically high at around 40,000 over several months, since the 1st ofjuly we have had over 5 million infections. no other western european country is at over 2 million. it means doctors and nurses are exhausted and therefore it won't need much more to knock over the system. if we want to make things better and if we want to make ourselves less vulnerable, let's bring infections down, the most sensible ways that protect us without restricting us. can you understand — without restricting us. can you understand some _ without restricting us. can you understand some people - without restricting us. can you understand some people will. without restricting us. can you. understand some people will be watching this and think, i have lived alongside covid for nearly two years, won the masks, double vaccinated, i am done with restrictions? i vaccinated, i am done with restrictions?— restrictions? i absolutely understand _ restrictions? i absolutely understand that, - restrictions? i absolutely understand that, but - restrictions? i absolutely i understand that, but most restrictions? i absolutely - understand that, but most people, although we are tired, all of us are tired, nobody wants this to go on any longer, most of us understand equally we should not be doing things that put ourselves at risk. after all, christmas is a season of goodwill, but the last thing you want to give as a christmas gift is covid. we should be acting sensibly and proportionately to keep ourselves safe and our communities safe. there is one further point, if you look at why things went early on in the first lockdown, why there was very high at hearings, there was a part at least due to the fact we had a strong sense of community, people were not acting for themselves, they were not acting for themselves, they were acting to keep their family safe and vulnerable people say. and the scientific evidence showed if you wanted to see what was the fact that was most important in determining whether people adhered or not, it was whether they had a sense of community, whether they wanted the community as a whole to come out of things well. i think one of the other problems about the stress or personal responsibility, it makes it all about me, but we need to make it about lee. it needs to be an inclusive reopening of society, it is notjust for the younger and fitter, it is for everybody. so rediscovering that sense of community, community spirit, goodwill to all people, that is something we should be and could be doing a christmas.— be doing a christmas. ending on an 0 timistic be doing a christmas. ending on an optimistic christmas _ be doing a christmas. ending on an optimistic christmas message. - be doing a

insight. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. certainly a reprieve in terms of the strength of the weather. the turbulent weather has mostly cleared away and for many, a beautiful start to the day. but as you can see from this picture from bradford, there is some snow on the ground, wintry showers during today, despite the fact it will be bright. it is going to stay cold as well. this is our earlier satellite and radar picture. an area of rain, sleet and snow pushing southwards across scotland into north—west england. we have had patchy into northern ireland, showers for wales in the south—west and lots of showers for the east coast of england. but some sunshine out there as well. icy stretches this morning across a good part of scotland and into northern england, because temperatures did dip a way areas of rain, sleet and snow pushing southwards across scotland. most of north west england and northern ireland sing some snow fall, pushing into parts of north wales as well showers for west wales, south—west of england and lots of these wintry showers down the south—east of england. some of these could give snow to low levels in east anglia. this area of rain, sleet and snow here at likely to give a covering over some higher ground, yes but even some two low levels are part of east wales and into the midlands. it is going to be fairly breezy for many, but not as windy, not nearly as windy as yesterday. still cold, highs between two and 8 degrees. through this evening and tonight, we'll keep some of those when she showers over eastern part of england and at the same time, this band of cloud and patchy rain will move into northern ireland and western scotland. snow on the leading edge of that as it runs into some cold air. it will be another frosty night for many. by the end of the night, temperatures in belfast starting to creep upwards because mild air is working in from the west tomorrow. the wind of change in direction coming in from the west. we will see milder conditions pushing in across the north—west of the uk, temperatures by the afternoon tomorrow for belfast, 10 degrees. but norwich, london, hull, four orfive, the cold air clinging on across eastern of england. the milder air will win out, working eastwards across all parts as we get into tuesday. a different feel to the weather on tuesday but this frontal system will bring rain, especially to the north—west. it will be breezy, but temperatures up to around 12 or 13 degrees. it does cool off for a little bit around the middle part of the week. but not as cold as it is right now and not as stormy as it has been. the son of legendary rugby commentator nigel starmer—smith has released a single about his father's dementia battle. during lockdown, charlie starmer—smith wrote "spotlight" — when his only contact on his visits to see his father in a care home, came through a narrowly opened window. our sports reporter james burridge has more. for charlie starmer—smith, life now means weekly visits to his father, nigel, in his care home. it is pretty heartbreaking. i came to see dad for the best part of four years now and every time i walk through the gates you are reminded that this is not the man you knew. the vibrant guy i grew up with. but also you have to look at it and try and take the positives. dad is someone who always found the positive in life all the way through and if i can be here to provide some comfort and remind him of the good times we have shared and that means a lot to me. the name may be familiar. nigel starmer—smith was the scrum—half for england in the early 19705. commentator: and over the 25. a great move by england! he used his playing experience to bring rugby into our homes every sunday evening in the '805 and '90s. his words, his enthusiasm, made rugby special. i am here in liverpool for the entire exciting second round tie in the cup between liverpool and bath. dementia has denied nigel the ability to walk, swallow or remember words — even his own. this is typical. notice how the back has anticipated that great play and it is recovered, he sees the man and it depends on the bounce and he is under the post. a sensational try. nigel was the commentator for what was voted the try of the century in twickenham. a stunning blow to england but what share _ a stunning blow to england but what share innovative brilliance by france — i have every single commentary sheet that he has ever written. he had an amazing unintelligible but very neat way of colour coding every fact and figure. these were his last commentary sheets which are quite dear because these were the minutes, hours, days and weeks before everything changed for us. he was still a commentator before he became dad the guy with dementia. i suddenly started to notice during a match that he was getting words and sentences the wrong way around. no—one else noticed it having heard my dad from the age of three onwards doing commentary he did not make those kinds of mistakes. that was in the spring of 2015 and by autumn dad was unable to string a sentence together. '65 and '66, one of the five new english caps. dad certainly played in the era of the magic sponge and you get knocked out and that was a badge of honour. but we have dimentia the family as well. my dad's brother, he was not a rugby player, he died from the disease as well. let's go outside and get some fresh air. getting dad outside is a blessing. we had 19 months of looking at that through a window and a human touch, holding his hand, that is what he responds to. it is very difficult now for dad. he struggles to swallow and eat and you see him losing weight on a weekly basis and that is the cruelest thing about dementia. gradually you see someone you love slipping away. # i take his hand # it is so cold to touch # not like the man and the father i missed so much. lockdown stopped all visiting and his mother encouraged charlie to express his feelings in a song. things snowballed from there and airing on radio 5 live lead to an abbey road recording session and a video. on a personal level it means that i have said things to my dad that i probably have not been able to say which is important, i think on a wider level and i think the meaning is that surely there must be something in this day and age of scientific development that we can do to make, if not cure things, to make things easier for people because it is tough. spotlight is out now and charlie hopes it will raise funds for families like is. # i am sitting here crying my heart out while i write this song. if this song can help raise awareness of the issue and i think the dementia issue is a big one in sport, i will not profess to have all the answers as to what the connections are but clearly there is something that must be investigated particularly in contact sport. if i can do my small bit through a song that will be amazing. a great positive legacy that is about my dad who i feel connected to. # shine a light, shine a light # on the hope to give them pride # we shine a light. james burridge with that report. coming up in the next half hour: who do you think dazzled on the dance floor last night? we'll take a look back at all the strictly performances with professional dancer flavia cacace—mistry — she'll give us her verdict ahead of tonight's results show. we promised you they moved a little bit more than that. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and ben thompson. every week, presenter ros atkins takes an in—depth look at one of the issues in the news. this week, he looks at how the uk government is tackling migration in small boats across the english channel. the english channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes, and this year, thousands of people in small boats have crossed it to reach the uk. they set off close to calais in northern france. their destination is kent in south—east england, 40 kilometres away. but as we've seen this week, this is a perilousjourney. on wednesday, at least 27 people drowned near calais, and this was borisjohnson's response. it's an appalling thing that they have. . .that they have suffered. but i also want to say that this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. president macron has said... but the dangers of these crossings have long been known, and yet, for some, the risks are still worth taking. these are people getting onto boats in france this week. we know the number of crossings has gone up sharply this year to over 25,000 so far. and earlier this month, a new record was set when over 1,100 people crossed the channel on a single day. the uk government has repeatedly promised to make this route unviable. so far, it's been unable to, and some british mps think france needs to do more. it's simply not credible that 1,000 people can muster on the french beaches and the french not spot them as they get into small boats. they have money provided from the british taxpayer, they have drones, they have security intelligence, and they need to get the people, the french police down on the beaches to put a stop to these boats leaving the french shores. natalie elphicke referring to a deal signed injune where the uk pledged to give france £54 million to support efforts to stop the boats, and let's be clear, france has stopped hundreds of them, but others are getting through. this french policeman told the daily mail... the rise in attempted crossings is a factor, but others see politics, too. the times quoted a uk government source who called the french approach... and france is equally unimpressed. its interior minister said recently... but for all of this, the uk and france both know they must work together on this, and wednesday's tragedy has given this extra urgency. that may mean more patrols on the french coast. but there's another option the uk wants to pursue, too. boris and i have worked intensively with every institution with the responsibility to protect our borders to deliver operational solutions, including new sea tactics, which we are working to implement to turn back the boats. there's the home secretary, priti patel, in october. and as well as the moral and legal arguments about turning back the boats, the french argue that without their cooperation, it's impossible to do anyway. here's my colleague simonjones. the position from the french authorities is it's simply not safe for them to do that because they fear that migrants could threaten to jump in the water or the boats are so flimsy that attempting to turn them around could actually capsize the boats and lead to deaths in the channel. as far as we know, not a single boat has been turned around. that's led to this criticism from the opposition. headline—grabbing plans repeatedly from the home secretary, which achieve nothing, are achieving nothing. well, since wednesday's tragedy, the uk government's particularfocus has been people smugglers. but the task of taking them on is getting harder. because of the covid restrictions on travel, many of which are not yet lifted, this single method of entry is now deepened and intensified and has become so profitable for criminals that it's going to take a phenomenal amount of effort to shift it. and this method of entry, meaning small boats, is now seen by many people as their best chance of getting to the uk. and so, a vicious circle is being created. as demand for the crossings increases, so the people smuggling operations expand. the more capacity the smugglers have, the more crossings there are. the more crossings there are, the more demand for them increases. it's a cycle that is very hard to break. and as it plays out, there is another dimension, too. because these crossings are very visible, and the more images we see of people arriving on british beaches, the more this becomes political. the refugee council describes how... the point being that these crossings have become intertwined with some people's desire to change how the uk's borders work. here's one conservative mp speaking last week. we told the people at the referendum, us brexiteers, that we would take back control. it's clear that in this, we have lost control. it is certainly true that the government has not controlled channel crossings as it said it would. but look at net migration in the uk. the number of people arriving minus the number of people leaving. it fell by 88% last year. it's now in the tens of thousands. then there's the number of people who were granted asylum in the uk. that is lower than germany, france or greece. to be clear, the uk remains a signatory of a long—standing international agreement on refugees, but to the government, this particular issue in the channel is about showing control and about a system that, overall, in its view, isn't working. we fundamentally believe that people should seek asylum in the first safe country. they should not be making dangerous journeys across the channel. but many people are making the dangerous journey to the uk for a number of reasons, as this migration expert explains. the number one response is family. they will have some existing family member in the uk and the acceptance of the uk is a free out, tolerant, accepting country. dash—mac as a fear country. ——fair country. these reasons won't be easily addressed by more patrols on the french coast, and there is perhaps another factor to. nearly anybody who crosses the channel in a small boat applies for asylum and most are accepted, and even if they aren't, the vast majority still stay, as we learnt in this exchange. can you tell us how many asylum seekers or how many people arriving have been returned to any eu country in the course of the last — since january? this year it is five. that's right, five this year, and brexit means a previous return arrangement with the european union no longer applies. this high chance of staying is one of a number of reasons that the uk is a desirable destination, and if those are the pull factors, we mustn't lose sight of why these people left home in the first place. in the year to september 2021, the top five countries of origin of people making asylum applications are iran, eritrea, albania, iraq and syria. now, of course, each person's story is different. some may travel for economic reasons, but the percentage of asylum requests that are granted by the uk suggest that these are countries where you have good reason to leave for your safety, as my colleague lewis goodall heard. i come from kurdhistan. and why did you leave? the politicians, you know. they said to me, you must leave this country or we will kill you. these other personal stories at the heart of this, and they are why this issue will not easily be resolved, because the reasons for people seeking a new home in europe are not going away. nor is the need for better cooperation. among the countries these people are heading to. this is accepted by france and by the uk. this is a complicated issue, and there is no simple fix. it does mean a herculean effort, and it will be impossible without close cooperation between all international partners and agencies. which in some ways brings us back to brexit. borisjohnson has always said that brexit will not affect close cooperation with the eu, and that is being put to the test. because as priti patel says, no— ne country can solve this alone. and while for some getting into a dinghy and crossing the channel feels like the best option. a solution is desperately needed. this morning we have been talking about changes to requirements for testing as you come back to the uk. the new rules will come into force at four agm on tuesday 30th november and means that the testing requirements will change. it will not be a lateral flow test, you now have to take our pcr test. you will have to take our pcr test. you will have to take our pcr test. you will have to fill in the passenger locator form and do the new regime of testing but they say don't do that until 24 hours before because they're if you are arriving before 4am on tuesday 30th continue to complete your passenger farm but after that lateral flow test will no longer be accepted. that is in response to that omicron variant. the health secretary is on the andrew marr programme later this morning. now the sport. big changes at manchester united. with manchester united looking to impress their expected new interim manager ralf rangnick. chelsea are leading in the premier league and manchester united looking at this new era, the first premier league match, and there can be a bit of a new manager pounds. and everything you have read this week about rangnick suggest you summon the fans can get behind. he is the father of gegen press. and the chelsea boss, thomas tuchel — a protege of rangnick — maybe i still am. i will never write in a league and the scheme because it's a big club, first of all, but it's a big club, first of all, but it is very experienced and individually top—level group of players. liverpool are most definitely challenging for the title, they're up to second place in the premier league — a point behind chelsea. afterjurgen klopp's side beat southampton 4—0. diogojota scored twice in the first half — this is his second — thiago alcantara made it three, and virgil van dijk added the fourth after half time. so them scoring their goals in the first 20 minutes and it's a little bit of a challenge and you have a problem that looks a little bit rusty in the beginning so you have to extend the warming up and today we were really asking for them being their second and the boys wear and it was helpful. ——were. newcastle are still without a win in the premier league after losing 2—0 at arsenal. gabriel martinelli with that brilliant volley to seal it. it was eddie howe's first game on the touchline as the new newcastle boss, but they stay bottom six points from safety. it is two wins out of two for new aston villa manager steven gerrard. his side beat crystal palace 2—1 , john mcginn with the second. elsewhere norwich versus wolves was goalless, as was brighton against leeds. hearts are up to second in the scottish premiership, three points behind leaders rangers, after beating st mirren 2—0 at tynecastle. stephen kingsley�*s superb free kick sealed the victory. elsewhere there were wins for hibs and dundee. rangers and celtic are in action later today. ellen white marked her 100th appearance for england by scoring, as they beat austria 1—0 in a world cup qualifier in sunderland. white is just one goal away from equalling the lionesses�* scoring record of 46 set by kelly smith. england top their group with five wins out of five, and are yet to concede. i'm incredibly proud to have represented my country 100 times. i feel super lucky to be a part of this team and to be surrounded by such talented players and other slie for us to get the win, that was the main goal, and it was very tough game, tough conditions, but really proud to have contributed and to help the team win. the men's barbarians game against samoa was cancelled yeterday — due to six confirmed covid cases in the babas team. but the women's match against south africa did go ahead in front of a record crowd for a women's international. the barbarians ran in ten tries with three for sarah levy as they hammered the springboks by 60 points to 5. the game was also the last for england's world cup winning captain katy daley—mclean, who is retiring. and ronnie o'sullivan is safely through to the third round of snooker�*s uk championship. the rocket has already won this tournament more than anybody else — he's going for an eighth title in york. o'sullivan was on solid form as he beat the world number 68 robbie williams 6—2. he keeps going. he does. it is been really interesting _ he keeps going. he does. it is been really interesting with _ he keeps going. he does. it is been really interesting with the _ he keeps going. he does. it is been really interesting with the amateurs versus professionals. this is where we say goodbye to ben who's off to read the news on andrew marr. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. i'm not going anywhere just yet and i've got a beautiful picture to show you for the last weather forecast of this programme because it is a lovely start to the day for many places. that is how it looked and rochdale but a bit of snow on the ground. it is bright up there but still cold and there are some wintry showers in the forecast. this is what has been going on in the last few hours with quite a few wintry showers running down the east coast of england and rain sleet and snow pushing south across scotland getting down to parts of north—west england now. something more dry and bright following but we have some much to contend with because temperatures overnight really did drop away. across scotland into northern england quite widespread icy stretches, still some wintry showers than east coast in this area of rain and sleet and snow affecting parts of northern ireland. mainly rain here but a mix of rain and sleetand rain here but a mix of rain and sleet and snow getting into north wales and want to showers for west wales and want to showers for west wales in the south—west of england and wintry showers across parts of east anglia. here we could see to quite low levels through the day and this wintry weather moving through north—west england and to parts of wales and the west midlands and again that could give snow, mostly over high ground but relatively low levels and don't be surprised if you see a little of the white stuff. there will be sunshine out there as well not as windy as yesterday although staying quite breezy close to eastern course. temperatures, two degrees to eight degrees and may be nine at best but at least not feeling as cold as yesterday because it won't be as windy. tonight still someone to showers for eastern coasts and this band of rain will push in two north—west in england and scotland and a bit of snow and another frosty night for many but for belfast than stornoway monday morning will start above freezing, sign of what to come. this band of and patchy rain coming in from the west and any snow in scotland turning back to rain because as the winds change direction and become westerlies it will start to bring in milder air. westerlies it will start to bring in milderair. by westerlies it will start to bring in milder air. by tomorrow afternoon glasgow 10 degrees compared to 44 hull and glasgow 10 degrees compared to 44 hulland birmingham and glasgow 10 degrees compared to 44 hull and birmingham and five for london. on tuesday this wage of cold air will work right across the uk and still rain affecting parts of the north and the west and parts of scotland and northern ireland particularly but 12 degrees on tuesday. we want to stick with those heights all week and there is something cool are set to return but probably not quite as cold as right now and not as stormy as it was to start this weekend. it was another night of ballroom magic last night, as the strictly couples battled it out to try and land themselves a place in next week's quarterfinals. and there was more change at thejudges' table, as cynthia erivo returned as a guest judge for another week. let's have a look at some of the highlights. # all your highs and lows...# well done. it was so gorgeous and you just felt so relaxed in it. i don't know what you're talking about.- eight. _ anton du bec. nine. # you light up my life. # i need you. # beethoven's fifth symphony. anton du bec. ten. i thinkjohn is very good and if we look back at the paso doble that is my favourite of the routines he has done and the rumba and the argentina tanker was going to be good for him. i would have liked to see their frame more authentic and the ballroom frame is very vague when we do ballroom tangle but in the argentina tangle the elbow should be close to the body because it is very intimate and it was a little wide for me but overall is a performance it was very dramatic and strong and powerful so good dance for him. thea;r powerful so good dance for him. they do that intensity _ powerful so good dance for him. they do that intensity so well and we saw the video leading up to their how nervous they were about the left. the lifts are hard when you're lifting somebody that is half your size but the really matched. it is not easy and he did it flawlessly so that was great. it was a very outward performance so again the only thing i would like to have seen is a little more intricacy in the footwork and something a bit more intimate between the two of them but overall he suits dramatic dances. i think he finds the happy cheerful numbers and a bit more challenging, not so much in his personality so i thought it was a great effort, really good. thought it was a great effort, really good-— thought it was a great effort, really good. thought it was a great effort, reall aood. , ., ., ., really good. and they do have to demonstrate _ really good. and they do have to demonstrate that _ really good. and they do have to demonstrate that range. - really good. and they do have to i demonstrate that range. speaking really good. and they do have to - demonstrate that range. speaking of which, we have to talk about the rumba by dan last night. he was practising the hips in a dressing room last week. and it paid off. it really did. at this late stage when you have really good competitors left in the competition to be given a rumba is very, very scary and so i was a little bit nervous for dan. it is hard for any male celebrity and when you're very tall and it is a slow dance you have to really fill out the music. i was still pressed. he was dash—mac i was so impressed. he was dash—mac i was so impressed. he was dash—mac i was so impressed. he was clean and relaxed and looked in control. there was no hip or body action but he looked calm and it was pleasant to watch. it wasn't upward and i was really impressed and thought he led nadiya beautiful. i know aj is one of your favourites and it came together last night. sometimes it all comes together with the music and costumes and lighting and you get that performance would it all works and for me that was the performance of the night. i think it was a very clever routine because everything that was in that routine were things she has learned, technique she has learned and all the other and still she has been doing so far so it was a mix of everything and for me it was a really powerful performance. icraig really powerful performance. craig said he wished _ really powerful performance. craig said he

don't think last night was our very best but again as you say she comes back strong, she gives it a good effort and paso doble is difficult, the body shaping is really hard and it can look a bit rigid

hide that and make it look completely effortless so that when we are relaxed and i still sense that little bit of the element from him and i think that could be a little bit dangerous for him later in the competition but technically he has improved so much, he should be very proud. bud he has improved so much, he should be very proud-— be very proud. and it would be so nice for him _ be very proud.
