yesterday. for many, cloudy, some light rain. replaced by heavier rain and strengthening wind coming in from the west later. all the details this morning. it's tuesday, the 30th of november. new rules aimed at limiting the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus have come into force affecting shoppers and public transport users in england, as well as people arriving into the uk. the health secretary, sajid javid, has insisted the measures are proportionate and will help families enjoy christmas together. ministers have also agreed to extend and accelerate the rollout of boosterjabs, making them available to everyone aged 18 and over, three months after a second vaccine. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. from this morning, face coverings are now compulsory in shops and on public transport in england. face coverings are already needed for most public places and transport in wales. masks are also required in pubs and restaurants in scotland and northern ireland. but there is some concern over how shoppers in england will cope with the return of face coverings. the vast majority of the public, when it was required to wear face coverings, were very good about it, and still are in scotland and wales, where the regulations were never removed. but there is definitely a minority of people who seem to think that the rules shouldn't apply to them and they are causing problems at stores. we've seen the levels of violence that shopkeepers faced more than doubled during the pandemic. there are changes in schools, too, where staff and pupils in year 7 and above are also being advised to wear masks in communal areas. in scotland, that rule applies in class, as well. and international travellers coming to the uk now also need to take a pcr test within two days of their arrival and self—isolate until they get a negative result. but perhaps the biggest changes are the modifications to the booster programme — slashing the gap between second jab and booster from six months to three and opening up boosters to all those over 18. vaccines and boosters remain the prime defence against the virus. it is also pretty clear that, if you vaccinate, you're going to be in a better position than if you have not been vaccinated. so it's still a good idea to get vaccinated and the booster dose will boost the immune response to such a high level that we would hope they would overcome any inherent ability of this new variant to escape vaccine—induced immunity. it's clear uk cases linked to the omicron variant are on the rise. the big unanswered questions remain — what impact the variant will have on illness, vaccines and transmission. dominic hughes, bbc news. coming up on breakfast — we'll speak to professor adam finn from thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation — that's just after 7 o'clock. a lot of gas coming up and plenty of information. if you are asking questions that might have arisen about how you go about getting a booster, what you should do if you are in a vulnerable situation and have not had the beast. we will try to answer questions over the course of the programme. labour leader sir keir starmer has reshuffled his shadow cabinet with a big promotion for yvette cooper to shadow home secretary amongst the changes. some labour mps believe there are growing divisions between him and the deputy leader angela rayner. let's speak to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. the timing of it yesterday was fascinating. it the timing of it yesterday was fascinating-— the timing of it yesterday was fascinatina. ., , ., , ., fascinating. it was a bit annoying for an . ela fascinating. it was a bit annoying for angela rayner _ fascinating. it was a bit annoying for angela rayner the _ fascinating. it was a bit annoying for angela rayner the deputy - fascinating. it was a bit annoying . for angela rayner the deputy leader because when she was doing interviews like on this programme, she was asked about a reshuffle and said there would not be and she left the tvstudios, had a meeting with keir starmer to be told there would be a reshuffle that took place when she was doing a speech about something else and could not answer questions about it. either her big day was a little overshadowed or she is being kept out of the loop, which means may be keir starmer and angela rayner are not working that closely together. whichever it is it is an issue for the labour party. this morning the new shadow cabinet meets in keir starmer i think will focus on the good things to come out of the reshuffle, the fact he has the right people in the rightjobs. there is a mixture of experience, good communicators and people good at politics, and also young, fresh faces from a newer generation. the big question is, in the long term, does the new shadow cabinet make more of an impact than previous shadow cabinets, and does that little faces from a newer generation. the big question is, in the long term, does the new shadow cabinet make more of it something the party can live with? barbados has become the world's newest republic and in doing so removed the queen as its head of state. prince charles attended the ceremony that saw sandra mason sworn in as the country's first president just after midnight local time. daniela relph reports from the barbadian capital bridgetown. the world's newest republic and a show of national pride. this constitutional shift in barbados is about asserting self—confidence and shedding the links to its colonial past. some of this country's most well—known names were among the vip guests attending the transition ceremony. and also here to watch it all play out, the prince of wales, invited to see his mother removed as a head of state — the first time that has happened anywhere in 30 years. for the final time on this caribbean island, he viewed a military march past and took the final salute. and then, the symbolic moment of transition. as the royal standard was lowered over barbados, it became a republic. it is hard to imagine this event was not tinged with some sadness for the prince of wales. his focus on the continuing friendship between the nations and also speaking directly about the pain of a shared history. from the darkest days of our past, and the appalling atrocity of slavery, which for ever stains our history, the people of this island forged their path with extraordinary fortitude. emancipation, self—government, and independence were your waypoints. freedom, justice and self—determination have been your guides. an acknowledgement of the past as this island look forward and swore in its first ever president. i. i, sandra prunella mason do swear that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to barbados according to law, so help me god. casting aside the official link to the british monarchy, barbados is increasingly looking east to china for financial support. there are republican rumblings, too, in other caribbean nations. they will be watching this newest republic closely. our correspondent celestina olulode is in bridgetown for us. tell us about last night, did it

the name of the police will change. they will now be called the barbados police service. so all these things are changing as this country enters into a new chapter of its history. country enters into

epstein preyed on vulnerable young girls, manipulated them, and served them up to be sexually abused. maxwell, who is 59, faces eight charges of six eight charges of sex trafficking and other offences. she has pleaded not guilty and her defence say she's being made a scapegoat for epstein�*s crimes. the disgraced financier took his own life while in jail in 2019. more than 100,000 homes in parts of scotland and the north of england remain without power because of damage caused by storm arwen. schools in aberdeenshire remain closed and whole villages in cumbria remain without power, with no word yet on when supplies will be restored. utility companies said they would be offering accommodation for vulnerable customers. that is quite something. it is a big worry for a lot of people watching this morning. good morning. good morning. if you remember, on sunday night, it was bitterly cold in shap, almost —9. compare that to shap this morning at the same time, almost 10 degrees. 9.6. a huge leap in temperatures in 24—hour is. today, it will be milderfor us in temperatures in 24—hour is. today, it will be milder for us all. it will also be cloudy and damp. rain and drizzle and a lot of cloud across many areas. still cold in the north—east of scotland. as we go through the day, low pressure moves towards us that introduces more rain getting into northern ireland and western scotland. and we will notice the wind strengthened. some breaks in england and wales and we will see a little sunshine but for most it will be cloudy. look at these temperatures. still cold in lerwick but for the rest, 7—12, above average for this stage in november. overnight, low pressure moves across, taking rain with it. some of that rain will be heavy. behind it, a return to showery conditions. and it will be windy, almost anywhere. but we could see the wind touch gale force on exposed coasts and hills. tonight, temperatures, still cold in the far north but generally speaking, another mild night. we have followed the story of little tony hudgell closely on breakfast, as the 7—year—old double amputee set about raising more than £1.5 million for charity. tony's story is even more remarkable knowing he lost both his legs after being abused by his birth parents. now, a new law meaning tougher sentences for those who harm children has been named after him. brea kfast�*s zoe conway joined tony and his family as they were told the news byjustice secretary dominic raab. why is there a wig? judges wear wigs so that the criminals, when they are in court, can tell the difference between them and ordinary people. i think it's made of horse wool. what do you of that? tony hudgell might be in the presence of the deputy prime minister, justice secretary dominic raab, but he's certainly not daunted. and you don't know how to work that. but then seven—year—old tony hudgell isn't daunted by anything. what does this do? it's his fearlessness and energy that has so inspired his parents. paula and mark hudgell have been campaigning for tony's law — tougher sentences for people convicted of child cruelty. and, at this meeting, they are finding out that the government is going to act. we just think that what tony has done is inspiring. and the need to protect little ones like him is overwhelming. so we will be announcing that change very shortly and i wanted you to know before the general public. that is wonderful. thank you. you are a bit of a role model for all of us. what do you think about that? i don't know what that means. 0h. tony was just a few weeks old when he suffered horrific injuries. his doctors feared he would not survive. he had been abused by his biological parents. he had suffered multiple organ failure, septicaemia and fractures to both thighs, lower legs, ankles, toes and thumbs. his legs had to be amputated. paula and mark began looking after him when he was four months old. presented in front of me was this tiny, broken, shut down, underweight, legs in plaster, four—month—old baby. i broke down in tears. absolutely sobbed. and thought i can't do this. but within two hours of being with him, there was no way i was going to leave him. this is tony with his biological parents tony smith and jodie simpson. in 2018, they were convicted of causing serious physical harm to a child and cruelty to a person under 16. they were each sentenced to ten years in prison. under the government's new law, they would get longer. we are announcing the increase in sentencing for causing death by cruelty to children from 14 years to life in prison, and for causing serious injury by cruelty from ten years to 14 years. and the reason is because children, and young children in particular, are the most vulnerable in our society. they have got to be given the strongest protection of the law. you have just met tony. i saw the two of you staring out the window and looking at where the queen lives. what do you make of him? he is an incredible young boy. he is full of energy. you would not really have a full understanding of what he has been through, but he is full of life, full of energy and deserves every chance to make the best of his potential. he is swimming, he is horse riding, and i think we need to make sure we are protecting young boys, young children like tony. every day for a month last year, tony walked around his local park to raise money for the hospital that saved his life. inspired by captain tom, who raised millions by walking 100 times around his garden, tony set out to raise £500 by walking ten kilometres. sometimes, it hurt, and sometimes he fell over. but he kept going. he completed the ten kilometres and he raised more than £1.5 million. he is an inspiration every day. he never complains. he carries on, no matter what is thrown at him. all the challenges, he gets himself back up and carries on. ten years for tony's parents that received the maximum sentence just doesn't seem enough for his lifelong injuries. so now, increasing that to 1a years, which, now, with the new sentencing that they have to serve two thirds, that is going to be almost ten years that they would have to spend inside — so that is double what they would have to now. tony, what has today been like? just amazing. amazing, indeed. for how many seven—year—olds get to work on the deputy prime minister's speech. so where have you got up to? not very far. i have a team that draft the speech. as the justice secretary is discovering, tony hudgell never gives up. how brilliant is tony? you could take him anywhere. in control of everything. i have a feeling dominic raab did not get much done while tony was in town. paula is an incredible woman. yes, great to see tony doing so well. so lots of changes today, including face coverings now becoming mandatory again in shops and on public transport in england. nina is at liverpool lime street station this morning. where i am sure it will get busy later. good morning. if you live in england, you might have got used to not picking one of these up when you leave the house ready to get on public transport but that will become mandatory as of today when you are on public transport, inside a shop, getting your nails done, going to the post office, travel agent. it is not explicitly clear if masks are necessary in the station itself but we are following the guidance of a house here. in wales and scotland and northern ireland there is extra guidance for passes stepping into a nightclub and working from home where possible. for england, this is a significant change, undoing the freedoms we have become accustomed to since the late summer. will it go down well with everyone? we have spoken to people in the east midlands and yorkshire. on public transport especially it is important but in shops, we do not want anyone lockdown for christmas. it is essential. we want anyone lockdown for christmas. it is essential.— it

president was sworn in just after midnight local time. let's speak to professor sir hilary beckles, who is a historian and the vice chancellor of the university of the west indies. this really does

this society. after a while, there was a sense of an assault on the dignity of citizens in that regard. with that circumstance, it was emotional, because now you can take responsibility for yourselves and your head of state is a citizen of your head of state is a citizen of your society with a good understanding of the needs with the elder people, next generation, so it is integrated, history, the present, the future, finally breaking away from the colonial scaffold we have been a part of 396 years. it is the end of the empire in barbados and the beginning of full nation—building for younger

supremacy apartheid. as prince charles correctly said, the british crown has been a part of the imposition as he said of appalling atrocities over the years. and the legacies of these atrocities are to be seen everywhere. the people are now trying to put this together, put it behind them the best they can to say we have a terrible history, let's hope our future, say we have a terrible history, let's hope ourfuture, we say we have a terrible history, let's hope our future, we can turn this history around. barbados was known for slavery. it was england's first slave economy and now barbados has an opportunity to become the freest democracy in society, in the world, by flipping this history on its head. i suspect the citizens here are looking forward to a future in which the world will look upon them and say barbados is the freest society in the world. what them and say barbados is the freest society in the world.— society in the world. what about barbados as _ society in the world.

institutions of the past have not served democracy well. this is an opportunity for economic reform, an opportunity for economic reform, an opportunity to create a new generation of entrepreneurs, to diversify the economy and bring younger people through innovation into the economy. effectively the population now has to dig deep to be creative, to be innovative and find confidence to go to the

morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. from this morning, the wearing of masks is compulsory on all public transport across london in response to rising concerns over the omicron covid variant. tfl had already made it a condition of travel on its services, but now coverings will be required on trains too as well as in shops. it comes as wandsworth and camden became the latest places in london where cases were detected. the london assembly has warned that some of the capital's river crossings could be closed unless more funding is secured. both rotherhithe tunnel and vauxhall bridge are in need of urgent repairs. tfl says they could be casualties of its £1.2 billion funding gap. but the department for transport has said the government's repeatedly shown its commitment to transport in london, including the most recent funding agreement worth over £1 billion. a new exhibition, focusing on contributions from the windrush generation, is opening this week at tate britain. life between islands will include work by over a0 artists, a mix of those who came to the uk in the 19505, artists of caribbean heritage and some who have been inspired by the islands. on one level, it is an art history, of the caribbean connection in british art from about the 19505 right to now, as a continuing story — mainly of artists of caribbean descent, of course. but it is also shows how the visual arts act as this amazing lens through which we can see a broader cultural, social, political story. london's famous new year's day parade will be returning on the 1st of january. but restrictions mean the traditional parade has been replaced by a ticketed arena show. it will be at waterloo place near piccadilly circus. let's take a look at the travel situation this morning. there's a good service on the tubes apart from the piccadilly line which is part suspended. for all other travel news tune in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was all change weather—wise last night. it was cold and frosty for a good while underneath clear skies, but temperatures unusually have been rising for the second half of the night along with a warm front that has been sweeping through, introducing cloud, some patchy outbreaks of rain and much milder air. so we start off the day on a very different note, between six and eight celsius. we will keep those cloudy skies for much of the day, there could be a few outbreaks of light patchy rain and drizzle, not amounting to very much, and there is a noticeable westerly wind. temperatures this afternoon could get as high as 11 or 12 celsius so very mild and well above the average for the time of year. the mild air is not set to last. we have got a cold front coming through overnight tonight that is going to give us some further outbreaks of rain and also eventually some colder air. so to start off the day on wednesday, nine celsius, this will be the day's highest temperature because on wednesday, it's dry, there's some sunny spells but temperatures will slip as we head throughout the day and it will feel quite cold by the afternoon. a frosty night on wednesday and into thursday, we are back into that very chilly air and a northerly wind. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and sally. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll bring you the inspirational story of kat cordiner, who despite having incurable cancer, is attempting to break a world record rowing 3,000 miles from the canary islands to antigua with her two team mates. tv presenter paddy mcguiness and his wife christine are used to the spotlight but they'll be telling us why they've decided to let the cameras into their home for a new documentary about their family's experience of autism after all three of their children and christine were diagnosed with the condition. if you're looking for some inspiration for where to go walking this winter, dj and tv presenter nihal arthanayake has been exploring the coast around cumbria and lancashire for a new series of the bbc�*s winter walks. all uk adults are to be offered a covid boosterjab as part of the effort to tackle the new omicron variant. priority will still be given to older patients and those who are more vulnerable to coronavirus. let's speak to dr nighat arif. good morning, lovely to have you on the programme again, haven't seen you for a while. let's talk about this booster programme. how do you feel about it and are you slightly daunted about how much extra work it is going to be? where are you standing?— is going to be? where are you standin: ? , , . , , standing? this is a very good news sto , we standing? this is a very good news story. we were _ standing? this is a very good news story, we were hoping _ standing? this is a very good news story, we were hoping that - standing? this is a very good news story, we were hoping that the - story, we were hoping that the booster programme will be rolled out. we are already vaccinating 40—year—olds and above, now it is 18 to 39. the reduction time has happened between the second dose, it was six months, now it's happened between the second dose, it was six months, now its three months. but there will also be childhood immunisation and a covid vaccine has altered there, so 12—year—olds will get the second dose and then hopefully they will be given a boost as well. in amongst all of that, we have got the compromised communities, the immunocompromised, those who are on immunosuppressants, orwho immunocompromised, those who are on immunosuppressants, or who have had a chance —— transplant, they will get a third primary dose and then a fourth booster dose but we still are waiting to hear the timeline for that. in regards to being daunted, actually we are well versed to rolling out vaccination programmes. we know there is not an issue with snooty, we know there is not an issue with supply, we have enough vaccine, it is trying to get the people through. as always because the nhs is battling and bursting at the seams, we

of doctors trying to tackle this information and vaccine hesitancy. it is that we are not safe until everyone is vaccinated. as well as supply issues, the fact that we still have hesitancy, i am still hearing, do i really need a booster? yes, please go and get vaccinated. this is one of the tools that we are using to make sure that we do not have a timeline. now more than ever the public health measures are so important. i would like the masks extended further than transport and shops, i would like it mandatory everywhere but i do not run the country! make sure that you are hand washing and

something which seems off, please don't share it because thatjust feeds the algorithm into more hesitancy. and we need to be working together. the great british public have done so much and they have

—— who made that circus, where did it come from? the focus in the — circus, where did it come from? tt2 focus in the media has very much been on whether angelic new and whether keir gave her prior warning, and how much warning. what happened yesterday is that we remodelled our team so are absolutely focused on the interest of the country and you could see that from the fact that the key battleground for the next election, the fourth for the future of our communities, keir has put that up front and centre and i am delighted he has asked me to lead on it. i'm not going to spend a minute more focusing on what is going on in the westminster bubble cuff bubble, —— the westminster bubble, i could not care less when we have got workers across this country who have not got the decent future they deserve and we are going to deliver on this after a very long time. unfortunately this reshuffle is much broader than the westminster bubble, we are all talking about it, it is in all of the papers, and there appear to be significant cracks at the top of the labour party. how does a voter trust to put their vote with the labour party when you look at the top and say, those two don't get on?

well, you are pretty good! so i might push her to carry it on. you're saying the next olympics? yeah, four years? three years. that's enough time. and it's backed by eve muirhead. three—time olympian and the current team gb skip. she fell in love with the sport and she was nine years old, when she was nine years old, watching her dad play. you know what you're like when you're small and you're watching your dad play a sport, you want to just be part of that sport, don't you? you want to be on there and give it a go and that's exactly what we did. just this weekend, she and her team won gold for scotland in the european world championships in norway. we've trained very hard. it is hard work, and i think when you get medal5 round your neck and you're standing on top of the podium, itju5t shows you that all that hard work is worth it. now training for the winter olympics, she hopes the curling club will attract more people to the sport she loves. i do think it's a great way of getting people involved in the sport. and for me, i'm always wanting to get young people involved as well. and i think if we can get girls and boys involved in curling at a young age, then hopefully in a few years' time, there will be more people who are hopefully representing their country and then going on to great things. if you just use the weight of the stone and gravity, then you can get it down to the end. having myself never been on a curling rink before, i needed some tips. there you go, you got that in the house. curling is an inaccessible, underexposed sport. the relevance is only every four years when the winter olympics comes in and we are just safeguarding the future and for people to have a lot of fun. nicknamed a5 chess on ice, due to the strategy and teamwork that goes into the game, they're just hoping this ta5ter is enough to get people hooked. well, we are here, and we are curling here! cassia i5 well, we are here, and we are curling here! cassia is the coach, 5he curling here! cassia is the coach, she is doing it beautifully. took me through what we are doing?

i am and those are to enforce rules again? iam in and those are to enforce rules again? i am in liverpool and those are to enforce rules again? iam in liverpool finding out. longer sentences for child abusers in england in wales, he is an inspiration every day. he never complains, he carries on, no matter what is thrown at him. all the challenges, he just gets himself back up and carries on. prince charles joins the celebrations as barbados officially becomes the world's newest republic. and in sport, former fa cup winning manager john sillett has died. he won the trophy with coventry and lifted the league title as a player with the chelsea in the fifties. this morning, a milder start. it will be a milder day generally but cloudy with light rain and drizzle replace later with heavier rain and strengthening wind across northern ireland in western scotland. it's tuesday, the 30th of november. the prime minister will set out plans to accelerate england's boosterjab programme later today, and it could include the use of more pharmacies. new rules to try and limit the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus have come into force this morning, meaning masks must be worn in shops and on public transport in england. the health secretary, sajid javid, has insisted the measures are proportionate and will help families enjoy christmas together. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. from this morning, face coverings are now compulsory in shops and on public transport in england. face coverings are already needed for most public places and transport in wales. masks are also required in pubs and restaurants in scotland and northern ireland. but there is some concern over how shoppers in england will cope with the return of face coverings. the vast majority of the public, when it was required to wear face coverings, were very good about it, and still are in scotland and wales, where the regulations were never removed. but there is definitely a minority of people who seem to think that the rules shouldn't apply to them and they are causing problems at stores. we've seen the levels of violence that shopworkers faced more than doubled during the pandemic. there are changes in schools, too, where staff and pupils in year 7 and above are also being advised to wear masks in communal areas. in scotland, that rule applies in class, as well. and international travellers coming to the uk now also need to take a pcr test within two days of their arrival and self—isolate until they get a negative result. but perhaps the biggest changes are the modifications to the booster programme — slashing the gap between second jab and booster from six months to three and opening up boosters to all those over 18. vaccines and boosters remain the prime defence against the virus. it is also pretty clear that, if you vaccinate, you're going to be in a better position than if you have not been vaccinated. so it's still a good idea to get vaccinated and the booster dose will boost the immune response to such a high level that we would hope they would overcome any inherent ability of this new variant to escape vaccine—induced immunity. it's clear uk cases linked to the omicron variant are on the rise. the big unanswered questions remain — what impact the variant will have on illness, vaccines and transmission. dominic hughes, bbc news. labour leader sir keir starmer has reshuffled his shadow cabinet with a big promotion for yvette cooper, to shadow home secretary, amongst the changes. some labour mps believe there are growing divisions between him and the deputy leader angela rayner. let's speak to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. what is going on? keir starmer thinks he now has the people he wants in the jobs that suit them and it is a combination of experience, people who are good politicians, good communicators, and also a couple of people from the next generation of labour mps. in terms of what it means for here you will see on this programme, we will see the return of yvette cooper, the cabinet minister in the tony blair and gordon brown era. she is shadow home secretary and has a good track record of quizzing home secretaries and even getting them to resign. david lammy has been promoted from shadowjustice secretary to shadow foreign secretary. and in terms of one of the new mps, wes streeting will be shadow health secretary and he has just had treatment for kidney cancer so has experience of the nhs this year. it has been well received by commentators who think it is a good combination keir starmer has got, but there was a rocky process because yesterday morning when angela rayner the deputy leader was on tv, she denied the reshuffle would happen. she was then told about it after she left the studio and the reshuffle happened while she did a speech about something different and she could not answer questions about it, and that is the second time this year keir starmer has reshuffled the top team in a way that has ruffled feathers of his deputy. so that relationship will be one to watch. we deputy. so that relationship will be one to watch-— deputy. so that relationship will be one to watch. ~ ~ , ., . one to watch. we will keep watching. thank ou. child abusers will face tougher sentences in england and wales under plans announced today by the ministry ofjustice. the new measures are being dubbed tony's law, following a campaign by the adoptive family of seven—year—old tony hudgell, who had both legs amputated after being abused by his birth parents. deputy prime minister dominic raab met tony to discuss the law change. we are announcing the increase in sentencing for causing death by cruelty to children from 14 years to life in prison and for causing serious injury by cruelty from ten years to 14 years. and the reason is because children are, and young children in particular, the most vulnerable in our society. they have got to be given the strongest protection of the law. ten years for tony's parents that received the maximum sentence just doesn't seem enough for his lifelong injuries. so now, increasing that to 14 years, which, now, with the new sentencing that they have to serve two—thirds, that is going to be almost ten years that they would have to spend inside, so that is double what they would have to now. barbados has become the world's newest republic and in doing so removed the queen as its head of state. prince charles attended the ceremony which saw sandra mason sworn in as the country's first president just after midnight local time. daniela relph reports from the barbadian capital bridgetown. the world's newest republic and a show of national pride. this constitutional shift in barbados is about asserting self—confidence and shedding the links to its colonial past. some of this country's most well—known names were among the vip guests attending the transition ceremony. and also here to watch it all play out, the prince of wales, invited to see his mother removed as a head of state — the first time that has happened anywhere in 30 years. for the final time on this caribbean island, he viewed a military march past and took the final salute. and then, the symbolic moment of transition. as the royal standard was lowered over barbados, it became a republic. it is hard to imagine that this event was not tinged with some sadness for the prince of wales. he has focused on the enduring friendship between two nations and also spoken directly about the pain of a shared history. from the darkest days of our past, and the appalling atrocity of slavery, which for ever stains our history, the people of this island forged their path with extraordinary fortitude. emancipation, self—government, and independence were your waypoints. freedom, justice and self—determination have been your guides. an acknowledgement of the past as this island look forward and swore in its first ever president. i, sandra prunella mason, do swear that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to barbados according to law, so help me god. casting aside the official link to the british monarchy, barbados is increasingly looking east to china for financial support. there are republican rumblings, too, in other caribbean nations. they will be watching this newest republic closely. our correspondent celestina olulode is in bridgetown. celestina, did last night feel like the beginning of a new chapter? welcome to the world's newest republic. it did feel like a new chapter being at the ceremony because after 55 years to the day that this country became independent, it has finally removed the queen as head of state and ushered in a barbadian, dame sandra mason, to take that place. we ushered in a barbadian, dame sandra mason, to take that place.— mason, to take that place. we are seeinu mason, to take that place. we are seeing pictures — mason, to take that place. we are seeing pictures of— mason, to take that place. we are seeing pictures of the _ mason, to take that place. we are seeing pictures of the ceremony i mason, to take that place. we are i seeing pictures of the ceremony that looks quite formal. was there an element of celebration about it?

i do good morning. how concerned should we be about omicron?— we be about omicron? i do think we need to take _ we be about omicron? i do think we need to take this _ we be about omicron? i do think we need to take this seriously. - we be about omicron?

we do not want to cancel christmas again but in the build—up, the more we can keep an eye open for this virus, reduce the risk of getting close to it, and i am a big fan of these lateral flow tests. they are a good way of finding out if you have infection. because young people can haveit infection. because young people can have it without realising. if you have it without realising. if you have the infection you can avoid contact with vulnerable people, elderly members of the family, people who have a new nose depression and other conditions. there is a lot we can do to minimise risk. ., . ~' there is a lot we can do to minimise risk. ., ., ~ ., , ., risk. you talked about it being an intense few _ risk. you talked about it being an intense few weeks _ risk. you talked about it being an intense few weeks as _ risk. you talked about it being an intense few weeks as we - risk. you talked about it being an intense few weeks as we try - risk. you talked about it being an intense few weeks as we try to i risk. you talked about it being an. intense few weeks as we try to get more vaccines into arms. does the nhs have resources to do this when they are already under incredible pressure. they are already under incredible ressure. . , . they are already under incredible ressure. ., , ., ., pressure. that is an important question- _ pressure. that is an important question. the _ pressure. that is an important question. the worry _ pressure. that is an important question. the worry is - pressure. that is an important question. the worry is that i pressure. that is an important question. the worry is that if i pressure. that is an important i question. the worry is that if you give someone a job of work to do they cannot do whatever its was they would have been doing while they do that. in bristol, we are recruiting people into the scheme, training people into the scheme, training people to give vaccines, to get extra pairs of hands, focusing not just on retired staff but members of the public who are willing to come forward. there will be a build—up to try to deliver this accelerated programme. iam sure try to deliver this accelerated programme. i am sure that is going on all over the country.— on all over the country. professor, thank you- — as we've been hearing, the booster programme is going to be vital in plans to contain the impact of the omicron variant. but a number of the former mass vaccination centres have closed down meaning the remaining ones will be under increased pressure. john is at a centre in bristol this morning. john, it's a busy time ahead isn't it? yes, they absolutely have. as the way of all of these things, often they like us have seen the headlines but are waiting to hear the details on how to execute the government's plan over the next days and weeks, months, who knows how long it will take? we are at the university of the west of england on the outskirts of bristol. you will see the pipework and booths set up as a nightingale hospital but thankfully never used. since the summer it has been a vaccination centre. taking over from the sports centre in the centre of the city. 1800 people here a day, so pretty busy. norris is the boss. —— and morris is the boss. i suppose you are waiting to hear the details. what are you expecting the next weeks and months to be like? it will be busy but we have planned for it to be busy. things change in the programme. we expect people want to know more about when they can get vaccinations and that guidance will come out of the sooner it does we will tell people how they can go about getting a vaccination now the eligibility criteria have changed. what i would say is wait until you hear more. if you are eligible, please come forward and be vaccinated. but we will tell you when you need to come forward. the nhs will be in touch with you. please do not try to come forward now. we are still waiting for guidance to come out.- now. we are still waiting for guidance to come out. good luck. that is a key _ guidance to come out. good luck. that is a key message. _ guidance to come out. good luck. that is a key message. nothing i guidance to come out. good luck. i that is a key message. nothing has changed quite yet. please do not queue up unless you have appointments and have made arrangements. two people in the front line, both senior nurses vaccinating today. for people who have not been, or most of us who have not been, or most of us who have come in and look gone out, what is it like working in a centre like this?

the boss of the retailer iceland said today they have decided not to ask staff to enforce the wearing of masks and they will leave it to the consumer's discretion, which is where tension comes in. we asked people in the east midlands and yorkshire how they felt. on public transport, especially, it's really important, but in shops, you don't want anywhere to be shut down. we don't want lockdown for christmas, so start early. i think it's essential. it is such a small price to pay to help us through these times. i know i'm standing here, ridiculous, with mine on my chin, but i've just got off the bus and i'm just having a breather. it makes it more difficult talking to people. - but, at the end of the day, it's not costing anything. i we've been in this situation before and if people had just carried on, we might not have been... i'm not saying there would not be variants, but it might not have come to this. the government say they are relying on people adhering to the rules out of personal choice but a lot of changes if you are coming back from holiday orforeign changes if you are coming back from holiday or foreign travel. you will be asked to take a pcr test which is more expensive although prices are coming down and you will have to wait at home until the negative result comes through. the reason is that the tests are more specific on the variant of covid you have. a lot of changes for businesses. bill works closely with businesses in liverpool city centre. a big adjustment again for business. what have they said to you?

it is the british public's personal - british public's personal responsibility to follow the rules and wear the masks. shopkeepers have done a brilliantjob of keeping our shelves supplied under very trying circumstances and we thank them for their service and everything they do. clearly there has been occasions where that has been confrontational. we have a lot of sympathy for that. it is for the british public to see it —— be sensible and wear the masks but the police should enforce it. so it is ok for the iceland and the co—op to say that?

let's speak to the chief executive of easyjet, johan lundgren. good morning. great to see you. how is this affecting you so far? i think it's fair to say that it's very early to tell. we only found out about this in the middle of last week. and we had restrictions being introduced at the end of last week as well. we have seen that there has been an impact on more of the bookings that are the closest, in the next few weeks, the departures, just because people have taken the opportunity to transfer and book again next year. it's too arty to tell what this will stabilise at, and it's not the same drop—off in the bookings that we have seen from previous times when restrictions have been introduced.— have been introduced. easyjet re orted have been introduced. easyjet reported a _ have been introduced. easyjet reported a loss _ have been introduced. easyjet reported a loss of _ have been introduced. easyjet reported a loss of more i have been introduced. easyjet reported a loss of more than i have been introduced. easyjetl reported a loss of more than £1 billion. you must be incredibly concerned. you have extended the time period that customers can change their flights but how concerned are you about further restrictions in travel coming in? l restrictions in travel coming in? i don't think that we can say this is necessarily huge surprise. we always knew that the virus would evolve and they would be variants of concern and we are very supportive of the red list introduced by the government. i would red list introduced by the government. iwould have red list introduced by the government. i would have thought that this financial year would be one of two halves, you would have a difficult period in the winter which would be more uncertain and then a strong summer with the bookings for next summer, they are doing quite well and they have not been interrupted at all. this is something which we have expected. we came into this is one of the strong airlines, 4.4 billion in restricted liquidity and the least amount of debt of any major european airline. this is unwelcome news but i don't think we can say that we could say that this would never have happened. because we always knew it could happen. underlying it, the recovery will still happen even if we have a bad period of the winter. will still happen even if we have a bad period of the winter. 50 will still happen even if we have a bad period of the winter.- will still happen even if we have a bad period of the winter. so you say ou need bad period of the winter. so you say you need clarity. — bad period of the winter. so you say you need clarity, what _ bad period of the winter. so you say you need clarity, what you - bad period of the winter. so you say you need clarity, what you need - you need clarity, what you need clarity on?— you need clarity, what you need clari on?

impacted by the pandemic in the winter and the summer. we came into this in a stronger position and we have transformed the airline through the period, in terms of reallocating capacity into those routes that are in most demand, we have reduced costs, and we also have leading policies when it comes to flexibility when people want to make changes to their booking. so there are a lot of things coming out of this that we will be stronger. it's not a surprise to us that we would see that it would be not a surprise to us that we would see that it would he sometimes time is not a straightforward road to recovery. clearly we are seeing this taking place over the winter, and we will have a strong summer next year. are you in a position now where you are basically writing off winter because of the situation we are in? not at all. i think that the government have rightly said that they want to review the restrictions at the end of august as well, and i think that is the same thing that the other european governments have acted on. they clearly want to have the ability as soon as it is safe to do so is to remove all of the restrictions. we take a lot of confidence in that. so we are not writing of the winter. but having said that, we always thought that this year would be a year of two halves, where the winter would be with a lot of uncertainty and that assumption seems to be the right one. , ., . . assumption seems to be the right one. , ., ., . . one. johan lundgren, chief executive of eas jet, one. johan lundgren, chief executive of easyjet. thank _ one.

parts of the uk. yes, that's right, good morning. yesterday, at about 1am, it was —8, and today, it was nine degrees. 50 there is a huge difference in temperature in some areas. in this stage in late november these temperatures are very high to start the day. i'll stay ahead, cloudy and damp. we are pulling in more of a westerly, —— a mild day ahead. later westerly, —— a mild day ahead. later we will see a cold front coming in to change things. for today, look at the colours in the chart, yellow and amber indicating it will be a mild j. amber indicating it will be a mild j. a lot of clout —— mild day. there is a lot of cloud and drizzle, we will see some holes in the cloud in parts of england and wales but later the cloud will thicken again towards the cloud will thicken again towards the west. bringing some rain across northern ireland and western scotland, with some strengthening winds. these are the maximum temperatures today. this time of year roughly, the average would be five to eight, north to south. it is going to be cold in the northern isles. the low pressure bringing the rain our way, isles. the low pressure bringing the rain ourway, it isles. the low pressure bringing the rain our way, it will deepen as it crosses us. heavy bursts of rain across southern scotland into cumbria, and one look at the isobars tells you it is going to be windy. wherever you are but we could see gusts up to gale force in exposed coasts and hills. and it will be a chilly night for many of us. not so in the south, temperature is hanging on to ii in the south, temperature is hanging on to 11 degrees in the channel islands, only one degree in lerwick. a mild note to start off in the south tomorrow, as we pull in the northerly wind, the blues moved across the chart. the highest temperatures will be in the morning and as we go through the day, the temperature will fall away. it will feel cold as we are exposed to a northerly wind. snow in the morning down to low levels across north of scotland, increasingly that will be rain and we will see rain pushed further south but it will be patchy. temperatures, two degrees in the north, eight or nine further south. into thursday, still wintry showers coming in along the north sea coastline. there will —— the wind will be coming from a cold direction, the north. a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine, but there's temperatures, chilly for the time of year. below average having been above average today. and then towards the west we have the next system will bring in tomorrow. 50 roughly, mild today, then cold so roughly, mild today, then cold tomorrow, then mild, then cold, temperatures are all over the place this week. some sad news from the world of sport now, people will know the face ofjohn sillett if they remember fa cup in the 1980s. he won the cup with coventry in 1987, it was one of the great finals. he played alongside jimmy he played alongsidejimmy greaves at chelsea, they had a great friendship playing in the 50s where he played with his brother at the same time. john sillett who's died at the age of 85, he made his name as a player with chelsea before further success followed in management. it was that fa cup win with coventry which was the crowning moment of his career after finishing as a player, lifting the trophy at wembley in 1987 having beaten tottenham after extra time, in what's been called one of the most entertaining finals in history. he also played for the club under jimmy hill in the 60s and before that at chelsea where he won the championship, then the top league in english football. some great pictures from that day at wembley in 1987. john sillett who's died at the age of 85. in paris last night, lionel messi collected yet another men's ballon d'or award, after being voted the best player on the planet for a record extending seventh time. he helped argentina win the copa america earlier this year, his first major international honour. his three boys were there with him in matching suits. he's two ahead of ronaldo now, who didn't attend but took to instagram to deny claims made by the organisers france football magazine that his sole motivation is to win more ballon d'ors than messi. the women's award went to barcelona captain alexia putellas. tiger woods has admitted he will not be the player he was after his car accident in february, saying he doesn't expect to return to the tourfull time. authorities said he was lucky to survive the crash. he's spoken for the first time and he told golf digest that playing in a couple of events every year's likely. i don't have to compete and play against the best players of the world to have a great life. i know that after my back fusion, for me, i had to prove to myself, i had to climb mount everest one more time. i had to do it. and i did. this time around, i don't think i'll have the body to climb mount everest and that's ok. but i can participate in the game of golf. i can still maybe, if my leg gets good enough, maybe kick off a tournament here or there. let's give you an update on the rugby union teams that have been affected by tightened travel restrictions following the new coronavirus variant identified in south africa. they were there to play in the united rugby championship. scarlets have made it out and are in an isolation hotel in belfast, munster can leave cape town to isolate back home, but cardiff are still stuck there, with two positive cases in the squad. there is obviously concerned to get home, there is a visually concerned around the new vary —— there is obvious he can turn around the new variant. it's obviously very difficult to be doing in effect a self—imposed quarantine in south africa so far from home. self—imposed quarantine in south

dan walker. our headlines today. face masks become compulsory in shops and on public transport in england, but some stores say they won't make people wear them. and as the booster programme prepares to be ramped up, these mass vaccination centres will be in the front line against the omicron variant. longer sentences for child abusers in england in wales, as tony's law becomes a reality. he is an inspiration every day. he never complains, he carries on, no matter what is thrown at him. all the challenges, he just gets himself back up and carries on. prince charles joins the celebrations as barbados officially becomes the world's newest republic. ourfamily and autism — paddy and christine mcguinness let in the cameras as they learn more about the condition which affects all three of their children. and i'll go, "who's your best friend?" and he'll go, "you are." and i'll go, "do you love daddy? and he'll go, "yeah." gosh. today's milder. certainly a milder start to the day. it will be cloudy and damp and later rain in northern ireland and western scotland with strengthening wind. all the details coming up. it's tuesday, the 30th of november. the prime minister will set out plans to accelerate england's boosterjab programme later today, and it could include the use of more pharmacies. new rules to try to limit the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus have come into force this morning, meaning masks must be worn in shops and on public transport in england. the health secretary, sajid javid, has insisted the measures are proportionate and will help families enjoy christmas together. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. from this morning, face coverings are now compulsory in shops and on public transport in england. face coverings are already needed for most public places and transport in wales. masks are also required in pubs and restaurants in scotland and northern ireland. but there is some concern over how shoppers in england will cope with the return of face coverings. the vast majority of the public, when it was required to wear face coverings, were very good about it, and still are in scotland and wales, where the regulations were never removed. but there is definitely a minority of people who seem to think that the rules shouldn't apply to them and they are causing problems at stores. we've seen the levels of violence that shopworkers faced more than doubled during the pandemic. there are changes in schools, too, where staff and pupils in year 7 and above are also being advised to wear masks in communal areas. in scotland, that rule applies in class, as well. and international travellers coming to the uk now also need to take a pcr test within two days of their arrival and self—isolate until they get a negative result. but perhaps the biggest changes are the modifications to the booster programme — slashing the gap between second jab and booster from six months to three and opening up boosters to all those over 18. vaccines and boosters remain the prime defence against the virus. this is a programme which is all about speed, so you are right, the two challenges are going to be the logistics of actually delivering so much vaccine in a very short time, and, of course, it is important that people come forward and receive those jabs in good time, so they can build up that extra immunity that we need to be sure that we are protected against this new variant. so a challenging month ahead for the nhs and, obviously, people need to respond as soon as they get contacted and come forward. it's clear uk cases linked to the omicron variant are on the rise. the big unanswered questions remain — what impact the variant will have on illness, vaccines and transmission. dominic hughes, bbc news. we'll speak to the head of the uk health security agency about those changes — that's at 8.20. let's speak to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, we're expecting more detail this morning on the plans for booster vaccines aren't we? and you have more information to share. the prime minister will do a press conference in downing street this afternoon where he will set out plans for accelerating the roll—out of boosters now that all adults over 18 are entitled to one and also 12-15 18 are entitled to one and also 12—15 year olds will get their second dose and the fact that vaccines will happen with a smaller gap between them. a huge undertaking for the nhs in england and so i think we will get more details about how the undertaking will be delivered. looking at more local pharmacies getting involved and more local pharmacies the rather then going back to the football stadium model. the other thing coming back is the idea of doing it through age bands. if you are closer to 18 than 240, you will be at the back of the queue, and that is to help manage the millions of extra doses that will have to be delivered more quickly than people expected. in terms of what is happening with the omicron variant, ministers and scientists are trying to work out what these mutations mean for the spread of the virus. they are taking a precautionary approach with new protections coming in today. and ministers say you should carry on with your plans as normal. this is the social care minister. ibe the social care minister. be sensible. — the social care minister. be sensible, do what you feel comfortable doing, but we are not telling _ comfortable doing, but we are not telling people to not continue with their plans. we hope we can continue with christmas plans. of course, we are putting — with christmas plans. of course, we are putting these measures in place now to _ are putting these measures in place now to build up our wall of defence. the other— now to build up our wall of defence. the other thing happening is mps will vote on measures that came in at 4am. voting after they came in but that is more scrutiny than some covid measures have had some points in the pandemic.— labour leader sir keir starmer has reshuffled his shadow cabinet. there was a big promotion for yvette cooper, to shadow home secretary. david lammy has been promoted to shadow foreign secretary, replacing lisa nandy and wes streeting becomes shadow health secretary. some labour mps believe there are growing divisions between sir keir starmer and deputy leader angela rayner. you know, i've been through a lot of reshuffles in the last 11 years. the leader makes the decisions. the gaffer picks the team. that is how it goes and that is how it has always gone. frankly, i couldn't really care less about the circus around who's in, who's out, who's up, who's down, who knew, who didn't. i care about the fact that there are people across this country who deserve a better settlement — they've deserved it for a long time. barbados has officially removed the queen as its head of state and became a republic in an overnight ceremony in the capital of bridgetown. dame sandra mason was sworn in as president during a midnight event coinciding with the country's 55th anniversary of independence. the prince of wales and barbadian singer rihanna attended the event. more than 100,000 homes in parts of scotland and the north of england remain without power because of damage caused by storm arwen. schools in aberdeenshire remain closed and whole villages in cumbria remain without power — with no word yet on when supplies will be restored. utility companies said they would be offering accommodation for vulnerable customers. it isa it is a worrying time which is why the forecast is important and we can go straight to carol. good morning. the temperatures this week are all over the place and today we are looking at temperatures above average, and tomorrow below average for the time of year. i'll start but it will be cloudy and damp. we have rain in parts of scotland coming across northern england and drizzle on the coasts and hills. through the day in parts of england and wales we will see cloud break and some will see sunshine. by the end of the afternoon, heavy rain comes in a cross northern ireland into western scotland, accompanied by a strengthening wind. temperatures are 8-12 strengthening wind. temperatures are 8—12 and roughly speaking at this time of year we would look at 5—8, north to south. it will still be cold in lerwick. overnight, low pressure will deepen as it moves across so heavy rain across parts of southern scotland and cumbria. the isobars tell you it will be a windy night wherever you are with the potential for gusts to gale force on coasts and hills. it will be colder than the nightjust gone. 5—11 in the south. cold in the northern isles, cold enough for a touch of frost. tomorrow, cold air again. we've followed the story of little tony hudgell closely on breakfast as the 7—year—old double amputee set about raising more than £1.5 million for charity. he is amazing. remarkable. when you think about the fact he lost his legs after being abused by his birth parents. now a new law meaning tougher sentences for those who harm children, has been named after him. brea kfast�*s zoe conway joined tony and his family as they were told the news byjustice secretary dominic raab why is there a wig? judges wear wigs so that the criminals, when they are in court, can tell the difference between them and ordinary people. i think it's made of horse wool. what do you of that? what do you think of that? tony hudgell might be in the presence of the deputy prime minister, justice secretary dominic raab, but he's certainly not daunted. and you don't know how to work that. but then seven—year—old tony hudgell isn't daunted by anything. what does this do? it's his fearlessness and energy that has so inspired his parents. paula and mark hudgell have been campaigning for tony's law — tougher sentences for people convicted of child cruelty. and, at this meeting, they are finding out that the government is going to act. we just think that what tony has done is inspiring. and the need to protect little ones like him is overwhelming. so we will be announcing that change very shortly and i wanted you to know before the general public. that is wonderful. thank you. you are a bit of a role model for all of us. what do you think about that? i don't know what that means. aw. tony was just a few weeks old when he suffered horrific injuries. his doctors feared he would not survive. he had been abused by his biological parents. he had suffered multiple organ failure, septicaemia and fractures to both thighs, lower legs, ankles, toes and thumbs. his legs had to be amputated. paula and mark hudgell began looking after him when he was four months old. presented in front of me was this tiny, broken, shut down, underweight, legs in plaster, four—month—old baby. i broke down in tears. absolutely sobbed. and thought i can't do this. but within two hours of being with him, there was no way i was going to leave him. this is tony with his biological parents tony smith and jodie simpson. in 2018, they were convicted of causing serious physical harm to a child and cruelty to a person under 16. they were each sentenced to ten years in prison. under the government's new law, they would get longer. we are announcing the increase in sentencing for causing death by cruelty to children from 14 years to life in prison, and for causing serious injury by cruelty from ten years to 14 years. and the reason is because children, and young children in particular, are the most vulnerable in our society. they have got to be given the strongest protection of the law. you have just met tony. i saw the two of you staring out the window and looking at where the queen lives. what do you make of him? he is an incredible young boy. he is full of energy. you would not really have a full understanding of what he has been through, but he is full of life, full of energy and deserves every chance to make the best of his potential. he is swimming, he is horse riding. and i think we need to make sure we are protecting young boys, young children like tony. every day for a month last year, tony walked around his local park to raise money for the hospital that saved his life. inspired by captain tom, who raised millions by walking 100 times around his garden, tony set out to raise £500 by walking ten kilometres. sometimes, it hurt, and sometimes he fell over. but he kept going. he completed the ten kilometres and he raised more than £1.5 million. he is an inspiration every day. he never complains. he carries on, no matter what is thrown at him. all the challenges, he gets himself back up and carries on. ten years for tony's parents that received the maximum sentence just doesn't seem enough for his lifelong injuries. so now, increasing that to 14 years, which, now, with the new sentencing that they have to serve two thirds, that is going to be almost ten years that they would have to spend inside — so that is double what they would have to now. tony, what has today been like? just amazing. amazing, indeed. for how many seven—year—olds get to work on the deputy prime minister's speech? so where have you got up to? not very far. — i have a team that draft the speech. as the justice secretary is discovering, tony hudgell never gives up. zoe conway, bbc news. tony and his adoptive mum paula join us now, with their local mp tom tugendhat, who supported the campaign. good morning. paula, can i say

booster programme is going to play a vital role in plans to contain the impact of the omicron variant. but a number of the former mass vaccination centres have closed down, meaning the remaining ones will be under increased pressure, john is at a centre in bristol this morning. john it's a busy time ahead isn't it? they really have. we are at the university of the west of england outside bristol, initially converted into a nightingale hospital but thankfully did not have to be used and since the summer it has been a mass vaccination centre. they have been busy and they will be busy. they see 1800 day. a small queue now. people have been moving through the last half hour, but very busy doing the pfizer and moderna boosters and also some astrazeneca. some schoolchildren here, 12—15 year olds who were not seen at school. people at the end have had theirjab this morning. so many millions have had a vaccination, use it for 15 minutes at the end to make sure everything is all right. we can talk to a vaccinator. alex. you have an interesting story. we spoke earlier to some nurses who converted a cross, but you are not traditionally a health care worker. i cross, but you are not

already here. and as you said, sadly, there has been the downscaling of the vaccination programme but places like this will now see a ramping up but they say they have planned, they are expecting it, and are ready to go. everybody wearing face masks but lots of smiles here today. thanks. from the early hours of this morning, a whole new raft of changes have come into force in an effort to tackle the spread of the coronavirus omicron variant. masks are now compulsory in shops and on public transport in england — bringing it into line with the rest of 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. plus the booster programme is being rolled out to include all uk adults — although there's still no firm timeline in place for when people will have theirjabs. we'rejoined now byjenny harries, chief executive of the uk health security agency. a lot of viewers are interested in what will happen today and in the coming weeks. give an idea of how concerned you are by the new variant on where you think we will be in the coming days. t on where you think we will be in the coming days-— coming days. i think you have seen almost all public _ coming days. i think you have seen almost all public health _ almost all public health professionals are very concerned about the variant. it has more mutations than anything we have seen and some of the characteristics of those give us concern that it might start to evade either natural immunity when we have been infected before, all the great effort we have made with vaccination. all of this is a period of great uncertainty and thatis is a period of great uncertainty and that is the key point. we are taking precautionary measures in order that we buy time so we can carry through scientific tests we do to understand the variant better. is it scientific tests we do to understand the variant better.— the variant better. is it fair to sa we the variant better. is it fair to say we do _ the variant better. is it fair to say we do not _ the variant better. is it fair to say we do not know— the variant better. is it fair to say we do not know how - the variant better. is it fair to - say we do not know how effective the vaccines are against omicron? but this is the best scenario until we find out more about the variant? it find out more about the variant? tit is quite a difficult message because viewers might hear on the one hand we are talking about escaping vaccine effectiveness and on the other hand saying please get your booster. but the two are not incompatible. we know that after a second dose of vaccine you get a good effect, but that starts to wane. the advicejcvi gave is about ringing forward booster doses and giving them to all adults over 18. the interval is now three months and people will be invited by the nhs to get a booster. that will increase your general levels of immunity, which we hope to some extent will counter the potential drop in vaccine effectiveness you might find with this variant. we have seen with beta and dealt a slight drop off because the vaccines originally were managed... were designed to manage the original variant. on the one hand we are worried about that but on the other hand the thing people can do is to get their booster. i am hearing back from the director of public health colleagues that people who did not get their primary are getting embarrassed about turning up. we getting embarrassed about turning u . _ . . ., ., getting embarrassed about turning u -. ~ . ., ., ,

we potentially looking at measures like going back to working from home if we do not get control of this variant? the from home if we do not get control of this variant?— from home if we do not get control of this variant? the point about the booster programme _ of this variant? the point about the booster programme and _ of this variant? the point about the l booster programme and introduction of mandatory face mask wearing in enclosed public spaces is to try to avoid that. because we have made huge progress, we have great defences. in the background, the dominant strain in the uk is delta. these vaccines will help that, it will keep serious infection, infection and hospitalisation at bay. but we need time to understand the new variant and we would prefer a precautionary approach and then take action. a precautionary approach and then take action-— a precautionary approach and then take action. ~ . ., take action. what timescale are we lookin: at take action. what timescale are we

measures? taste potentially see further measures? we will potentially see further measures? - will be looking at what is happening overseas particularly in south africa, where cases have risen sooner. their population is different, it is much younger. we need to be careful to compare like for like. the second thing, we have looked at structural biology which is why we are concerned, we look at the shape of the variant is from genome sequencing and trying to create a pseudo— risk, a pretend virus that looks like the genome we know. the third is looking at how this behaves and how the live virus works with serum that has been taken from people who have had infection or vaccinations. and if it starts causing serious illness and we have had no hospitalisations in the uk yet, we look at characteristics of individuals admitted to hospital. thank you for speaking to us. the prime minister is going to be holding a press conference later and that will be on all bbc news channels. and on the radio. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. from this morning, the wearing of masks is compulsory on all public transport across london in response to rising concerns over the omicron covid variant. tfl had already made it a condition of travel on its services, but now coverings will be required on trains too as well as in shops. it comes as wandsworth and camden became the latest places in london where cases were detected. the london assembly has warned that some of the capital's river crossings could be closed unless more funding is secured. both rotherhithe tunnel and vauxhall bridge are in need of urgent repairs. tfl says they could be casualties of its £1.2 billion funding gap. the government says it's repeatedly shown its commitment to transport in london, including the most recent funding agreement worth over £1 billion. a new exhibition focusing on contributions from the windrush generation is opening this week at tate britain. life between islands will include work by over a0 artists. on one level, it is an art history, of the caribbean connection in british art from about the 19505, right to now, as a continuing story — mainly of artists of caribbean descent, of course. but it also shows how the visual arts act as this amazing lens through which we can see a broader cultural, social, political story. london's famous new year's day parade will be returning on the 1st january. but restrictions mean the traditional parade has been replaced by a ticketed arena show. it will be at waterloo place near piccadilly circus. let's take a look at the travel situation this morning. the piccadilly line is part suspended, and there are minor delays on the tfl rail. for all other travel news inclduing what's happening on the roads tune in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was all change weather—wise last night. it was cold and frosty for a good while underneath clear skies, but temperatures unusually have been rising for the second half of the night along with a warm front that has been sweeping through, introducing cloud, some patchy outbreaks of rain and much milder air. so we start off the day on a very different note, between six and eight celsius. we will keep those cloudy skies for much of the day, there could be a few outbreaks of light patchy rain and drizzle, not amounting to very much, and there is a noticeable westerly wind. temperatures this afternoon could get as high as 11 or 12 celsius so very mild and well above the average for the time of year. the mild air is not set to last. we have got a cold front coming through overnight tonight that is going to give us some further outbreaks of rain and also eventually some colder air. so to start off the day on wednesday, nine celsius, this will be the day's highest temperature because on wednesday, it's dry, there's some sunny spells but temperatures will slip as we head throughout the day and it will feel quite cold by the afternoon. a frosty night on wednesday and into thursday, we are back into that very chilly air and a northerly wind. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and sally. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. morning live is on bbc one after breakfast. let's find out what kimberley and gethin have in store. good morning both! coming up on morning live. from anxiety, to aggression and even hallucinations. if someone you know is

his wife christine have three children, eight—year—old twins leo and penelope and five—year—old felicity. all three of their children are autistic. the mcguinnesses have opened up the doors to their home for a new bbc documentary which follows the family as they meet other parents, experts and people on the autism spectrum. let's take a look. when the kids were diagnosed, a paediatrician told us that they may have difficulty recognising emotion, and that thought has stayed with me. what gets to me with them all... and again, it is only what i think. i think, god, will they ever know how loved they are? do you know what i mean? do they understand what love is? so when i'm with leo, every night, in bed, i will always say to him, "who loves you more than anything in the world?" and he'll go, "you do." and i will go, "who is your best friend?" and he'll go, "you are." and i'll go, "do you love daddy?" and he'l go, "yeah." gosh. but... i think to myself, is he just saying that, or does he know that? of course he knows you love him. i know, but with all three of them... you've said this for years about the love thing. you've said it for years, and it's something we've not disagreed on, but patrick has worried for years that the children might not feel loved or they don't understand it. i have always said they do. paddy and christine are with us now. good morning, my goodness, that is a hugely emotionalfilm. really good morning, my goodness, that is a hugely emotional film. really deeply personal. christine, why did you decide to open your doors like this and how important is it

autism, we are still learning everything all day. we learning everything all day. we learn something everyday. when we got the diagnosis, i was doing that thing of going down the rabbit hole of google, trying to find out everything. it's only when other people start talking about it, that helped me, you think, i'm not on my own. there are plenty of people to talk to and share information and everything else. that was one of the things that triggered us to do the documentary. i thought, things that triggered us to do the documentary. ithought, if things that triggered us to do the

because right at the beginning, we talk about it at the documentary, i ended up being diagnosed with clinical depression. but i didn't realise that, because i kept so much bottled up. i got up and every day now with my kids, —— i gothelp, every day with my kids, it's not like a disney movie where everyone is dancing around the house! but it is so much better now because i started talking about

it’s staff in iceland shops today? it's uuite staff in iceland shops today? it�*s quite simple. we will politely ask customers, via a window poster and install necessary, to wear a mask. —— and within the store if necessary. we fully support the introduction of compulsory face masks. this isn't a question of whether we should mandate face masks, it's whether we can. ultimately we will politely ask customers but i will not be asking mike store colleagues to police those who refuse to wear one. haste those who refuse to wear one. have ou in the those who refuse to wear one. have you in the past— those who refuse to wear one. have you in the past or— those who refuse to wear one. have you in the past or have _ those who refuse to wear one. have you in the past or have you - you in the past or have you struggled with your staff, have they struggled with your staff, have they struggled asking people to put a mask on in stores?— struggled asking people to put a mask on in stores? certainly in our business, mask on in stores? certainly in our business. we _ mask on in stores? certainly in our business, we have _ mask on in stores? certainly in our business, we have around - mask on in stores? certainly in our business, we have around 4000 i business, we have around 4000 reported incidences of verbal abuse each year. that increased significantly during the first lockdown, and our staff received over 50 instances of abuse every week. since we stopped asking staff to challenge customers, that has dropped down to only five per week. that is replicated across the whole industry. recent research by unite found that over 90% of retail workers have either been assaulted, threatened or abused in the last 12 months. this is a big problem. our staff have been heroic, keeping food on the table and the shelves stacked throughout the pandemic and i will not be putting them in harm's way. so what advice are you giving to staff about what they are able to say? if they are not comfortable about people not wearing masks in a store, what can they do? thea;r about people not wearing masks in a store, what can they do?— store, what can they do? they can ask them. — store, what can they do? they can ask them. and _ store, what can they do? they can ask them, and avoid _ store, what can they do? they can ask them, and avoid the _ store, what can they do? they can | ask them, and avoid the customers wherever possible. this is a divisive issue. and i'm aware that it is a bit of a lightning rod issue for some people, for some bizarre reason. i think the government has done well to act so quickly and like i said, i do support it. but ultimately the government must step in and help businesses like iceland to enforce the wearing of masks if thatis to enforce the wearing of masks if that is what they need. we do spend millions on security each year. but the scale of this issue is such that we cannot police every store every hour of every day, it would cost millions per week and quite frankly put us out of business. itruthat millions per week and quite frankly put us out of business. what would ou like put us out of business. what would you like the — put us out of business. what would you like the government _ put us out of business. what would you like the government to - put us out of business. what would you like the government to do? - put us out of business. what would you like the government to do? i l you like the government to do? i think the government has been you like the government to do? t think the government has been fairly clear, and just now, i heard that they are not looking for us to police it ourselves, they are looking for common sense. if that is the case, fine. we'll need to use a bit ofjudgment in this issue. if theyjust want people to be sensible, the vast majority of our customers will adhere to to it. it is crucial to rebuild consumer confidence in the high street. and make people feel safe in store, and if they do not, we have opened up 100,000 delivery slot every day so people can shop online. there are a number of different ways consumers can shop with us, either online or in high street store. i think that is probably a good compromise. richard walker, managing director of iceland foods, thank you. {so richard walker, managing director of iceland foods, thank you.— iceland foods, thank you. go on, do it. it's time for us to brush up on our curling knowledge. glad you liked that. so with stones, broom and stick at the ready we've sent our reporter fiona lamdin to an event in london where they're trying to get more people to try the sport. good morning, welcome to the curling club. as you can see, it is filling up, people are here ready to curl, it has even been snowing here overnight. our name is on the board, bbc breakfast, we are all ready to play. we have been getting some tips from an olympian first of all. in central london, novice curlers are transported to an alpine village high in the alps. there's three curling rinks and tonight carolyn and her daughter naomi are trying the sport for the first time. we've always been a pretty sporty family, we like running, we both play netball. you also do lacrosse. so, yeah, we're always on the lookout really for new sports. do you think you might take up curling? well, you are pretty good! so i might push her to carry it on. you're saying the next olympics? yeah, four years? three years. that's enough time. and it's backed by eve muirhead. three—time olympian and the current team gb skip. she fell in love with the sport when she was nine years old, watching her dad play. you know what you're like when you're small and you're watching your dad play a sport, you want to just be part of that sport, don't you? you want to be on there and give it a go and that's exactly what we did. just this weekend, she and her team won gold for scotland in the european world championships in norway. we've trained very hard. it is hard work, and i think when you get medals round your neck and you're standing on top of the podium, itjust shows you that all that hard work is worth it. now training for the winter olympics, she hopes the curling club will attract more people to the sport she loves. i do think it's a great way of getting people involved in the sport. and for me, i'm always wanting to get young people involved as well. and i think if we can get girls and boys involved in curling at a young age, then hopefully in a few years' time, there will be more people who are hopefully representing their country and then going on to great things. if you just use the weight of the stone and gravity, then you can get it down to the end. having myself never been on a curling rink before, i needed some tips. there you go, you got that in the house. curling is an inaccessible, underexposed sport. the relevance is only every four years when the winter olympics comes in and we are just safeguarding the future and for people to have a lot of fun. nicknamed as chess on ice, due to the strategy and teamwork that goes into the game, they're just hoping this taster is enough to get people hooked. well, kez is here, she is a coach, took me to the rules of the game?
