england. also tonight: the aftermath of storm arwen — thousands of people spend a fifth day without power in parts of scotland and north—east england. packing away the royal standard — as barbados severs ties with the queen, becoming the world's newest republic. and why the american born french singer and activistjosephine baker has been honoured alongside the nation's heroes. and coming up on sportsday later in the hour on the bbc news channel... we'll catch up with all the home nations in women's world cup qualifying action — with ellen white expected to break the england goal—scoring record. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister has vowed to offer a coronavirus booster to everyone in england who is eligible within the next two months, as he said it was time for another great british vaccination effort. the military will be brought in to help the nhs and volunteers, with vaccination centres being set up around the country. 22 cases of the omicron variant have now been identified in england and scotland. nicola sturgeon says the nine cases in scotland are all linked to one private event ten days ago and don't appear to be related to travel in south africa. in england, boosters will be offered to the most vulnerable people first, with 14 million more eligible right now. once again, people will be invited to come forward in age bands. everyone who can have a booster should have been offered one by the end of january. should have been offered one by the end ofjanuary. 400 military personnel will support 1500 community vaccine sites across england to deliver the programme. borisjohnson said the situation in the uk is and always will be immeasurably better than it was a year ago, immeasurably better than it was a yearago, but immeasurably better than it was a year ago, but the government was taking proportionate precautionary measures while scientists crack the omicron code. here is our health editor hugh pym. there is new urgency to the booster jab campaign. this is one of the centres having to gear up for the faster roll—out, with all adults becoming eligible and the gap between second dose and boosters halved to

she added that those who are eligible for boosters should wait to be invited. in northern ireland, meanwhile, which has the lowest uptake of the booster shot in the uk, more vaccination clinics have been set up to meet demand. ministers said the aim was to give boosters to all eligible age groups as quickly as possible. and the first minister gave an update on cases of the new variant in

christmas is around the corner, these coronavirus newscast fronts is our back on the telly and yes, there is this reimposition of restrictions on our liberties in england. this afternoon there was overwhelming support in the commons for these new regulations. more than 400 mps in favour, just a couple of dozen against, with labour backing the government. labour wants the government. labour wants the government to go a bit further in testing people before they fly into the country, but they are broadly in the country, but they are broadly in the same place as ministers. but what is striking today and what really struck me is that the prime minister doesn't want people to over interpret, to gold plate these regulations. he doesn't want schools to cancel nativity plays. he doesn't want to christmas parties to be scrapped. he hopes he has struck the right balance, that he is being proportionate and reasonable, but the simple truth is that uncertainty stalks us and the government once again. just how spendable will this new variant be? just how good will at evading the vaccines? we simply don't know. ministers hope, and it is a hope, that they are calibrating this right, that they are neither overreacting or under acting. chris mason from _ overreacting or under acting. chris mason from westminster, thank you. tighter restrictions came in today. face coverings are now mandatory in shops and public transport. there have also been changes to the rules around international travel — anyone arriving in the uk must take a pcr test within two days and isolate until they get their result... the prime minister says the rules are proportionate that the labour leader keir starmer has urged him to go further and introduce predeparture go further and introduce predepa rtu

previously, a cheaper, quicker lateral flow test was enough. this is one of the drive in sight where people can come and have their pre—booked covid pcr tests done. over the past couple of days, the company which runs the space has been converting lots of bookings for antique and lateral flow tests into the pcr that people now need. they can't currently offer an option that gives a result in just three hours because with the new variant around, the test standard has been raised. the government have set very exacting standards for day two in terms of specificity and sensitivity, which is wholly appropriate. we are looking to modify our rapid tests so that we are able to do a rapid pcr on day two. this will take a few days to sort out. ., two. this will take a few days to sort out. . ., sort

with the mild cloudy weather working its way from the west and those were the afternoon temperatures, and 12 tomorrow, parts of shetland barely above freezing on the cold air is not far away and through tonight into tomorrow as the area of low pressure sweeps south and the winds return to northerly, that will bring the cold air back across the uk just in time for the start of meteorological winter. but through tonight some autumn wind and rain to come in the wet weather sweeping east, very strong winds developing particularly around the coasts but not as windy as it was over the weekend i should stress but wintry showers developing in the north as temperatures begin to dip away and tomorrow will be a cold feeling day with those northerly winds bringing outbreaks of rain southwards and showers or longer spells of rain with sunny spells in between but notice on wintry weather developing over the high ground and even to low levels for the time in the far north of scotland. the northerly winds will remain quite brisk through the day, particularfor will remain quite brisk through the day, particular for coastal parts where we expect gusts of 40 or 50mph quite widely and temperatures will be heading down as the day wears on, so between two and 9 by the middle of the afternoon. looking to thursday, another cold day with wintry showers and eastern areas of the time but they should fade and we will see more in the way of dry weather and some sunshine and cloud returning from the west later but the temperature is firmly stuck in single digits but it's a roller—coaster week because friday brings a return to milder weather but there will be some rain at times for some others. before we go — do watch the bbc news at 10 tonight whenjeremy bowen will be reporting on the continuing tragedy unfolding in yemen. imagine living in a city that has had to absorb almost 1,000,000 people
