said the deals future—proof the uk's vaccination programme. simonjones reports. relax your arm, light scratch. all done. the government has promised to offer a boosterjab to all eligible adults in england by the end ofjanuary. but it's also looking further ahead, to a time when boosters may be needed again and again, so it's secured an additional 60 million doses of the moderna vaccine, and 5a million doses of the pfizer jab. they will be the latest vaccines that they will have, because as we're seeing right now, there's a new variant, there's potentially new variants in the future. we know that covid is going to be around for a while. we have to learn to live with it, and one of the ways to learn to live with it is to make sure we got of the vaccines that we need, and that they're future proof. it's exactly a year since this happened. we have some breaking news for you this morning, because in the last few minutes we've heard that the first coronavirus vaccine has been approved for use in the uk. that was the pfizer vaccine. 12 months on, more than 150 million first, second and boosterjabs of the different vaccines, have been administered across the uk. at present, children aged between 12 and 15 are offered a vaccine. the boss of pfizer, in an interview with the bbc, says five to 11—year—olds should getjabbed too. i think that covid in schools is thriving. i believe that this is disturbing significantly the education system. and there are kids that will have severe symptoms. so, there is no doubt in my mind that the benefits completely, completely are in favour of doing it. while the vaccines continue to roll off the production line, pfizer has already started work on an updated omicron version of its jab, should it be needed. the world health organization says early signs suggest that most cases of the new variant are mild. scientists say they still need a few more days to determine its potential threat. simon jones, bbc news. with people talking about

that fatally wounded cinematographer halyna hutchins the star made the claim to the american network abc news which will tonight air his first sit—down interview since the incident in october. our north america correspondent david willis reports. it's six weeks since halyna hutchins was fatally shot on the set of alec baldwin's western movie rust. we've had two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. but as the weeks have gone by, the circumstances surrounding the cinematographer�*s death have become increasingly complicated. a statement released by local detectives only hours after the shooting, referred to a firearm discharged by alec baldwin. but now the actor himself is giving his version of events. the trigger wasn't pulled, i didn't pull the trigger. so you never pulled the trigger? no, no, no. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never. what did you think happened? how did a real bullet get on that set? i have no idea. someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property. police retrieved hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the film set, including, it is thought, other live rounds. they've been investigating reports of dissatisfaction on the part of crew members, who staged a walk—out the day before the fatal shooting. and claims by the woman in charge of firearm safety, hannah gutierrez—reed, whose lawyers have said the gun could have been sabotaged. six weeks on from the tragedy in this remote part of northern new mexico, and the investigation appears to be growing more complex by the day. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. a 19—year—old man has been arrested over the death of a teenage girl in hamilton, south lanarkshire. amber gibson, who was 16, was reported missing from her home in the hillhouse area on friday. her body was discovered in a nature reserve on sunday. police scotland say enquiries are still ongoing. everton and liverpool fans united for a minute's applause at the merseyside derby last night, in memory of ava white, the 12 year—old girl who was killed last week. fans also held a banner raising awareness about knife crime. ava was stabbed in liverpool city centre last thursday. a11i—year—old boy has been charged with murder. a judgement is expected this morning, in the appeal by associated newspapers in its ongoing privacy dispute with the duchess of sussex. the group — which publishes the mail on sunday — are appealing against the ruling not to hold a full trial, after the paper reproduced parts of a handwritten letter from the duchess to her father, thomas markle, in 2019. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. it began with a letter written by the duchess of sussex just three months after her wedding to prince harry, and sent in august 2018 to her father thomas. their relationship at the time was difficult. on the 9th of february, 2019, the mail on sunday published lengthy extracts from the letter, which had been given to the newspaper by mr markle. meghan, strongly supported by her husband, brought a civil action against associated newspapers, publishers of the mail on sunday, claiming that her privacy had been breached. she said the letter had disclosed intimate thoughts and feelings. in february of this year, a judge at the high court ruled in meghan's favour. he said the disclosures in the newspaper had been manifestly excessive, and were hence unlawful. he said the issues were so clear—cut there was no need for a full trial. associated newspapers appealed and produced evidence that they hoped would show the issues were not as clear—cut as had been thought. they produced a witness statement from meghan markle's former communications secretary, which indicated meghan markle had written the letter to her father knowing it might be leaked, and meghan had authorised cooperation with the authors of a book about her and her husband, something she had previously denied. today's decision will decide whether meghan's privacy case should, after all, go to a full trial. if that were to happen, there would be the prospect of meghan and her estranged father giving evidence against each other in court. nicholas witchell, bbc news. voters will head to the polls in a parliamentary by—election in the seat of old bexley and sidcup today. the vote will find the successor to james brokenshire, the tory mp who died from lung cancer in october. polls open at 7am and close at 10 o'clock tonight. an art installation of a traditional irish pub has been unveiled as the winner of this year's turner prize. it was created by 11 belfast—based artists known as the array collective. they said the piece is in response to issues including abortion rights and mental health. it features photos, memorabilia and videos — some of them representing hidden political messages about sexuality and identity. there is always so much more than what you first see. that is the beauty of it. it is 11 minutes past six. cold again this morning. great everywhere. have you noticed on the roads? stay safe out there. it could be icy. sarah will tell us more. good morning. good morning. it is a cold start to the day. we have got sub zero temperatures in many areas. and some icy stretches. certainly on untreated surfaces. we have had showers already. more to come. they have been falling as sleet and snow for many. you can see snow showers in the north of scotland, down the east coast of england, but also through parts of the midlands into wales. some of them putting into southern england as well. certainly some ice where we have got those showers falling on sub zero services. through the day most places will see some sunshine. we will continue to see the blustery showers in parts of eastern scotland, close to the east coast of england, and the one or two in the west coast of wales. temperatures three to four degrees. in the west things will turn milder. eight degrees for the likes of belfast. we have got patchy rain falling snow over high ground of scotland. even to relatively low levels some could fall as sleet and snow. as it turns milder it will turn back to rain later. much of england and wales dry as we head through the evening hours. tonight, that area of cloud with its patchy rain, some snow on the leading edge that even to low levels, pushes east across the country. by the time we get to tomorrow morning, it would be quite as cold as it is this morning. heading towards the weekend, the winds turn to more of a north—westerly direction once again, bringing further showers. in milder day to come tomorrow. once again, things said to turn chile as we look towards the weekend. thank you.— towards the weekend. thank ou. ~ , ., , ., thank you.

unfortunately, prices are getting higher. everything seems a bit more expensive at the moment, but there are warnings we could be about to pay even more to heat our homes in the new year. ben's looking at this issue for us. good morning. at the moment there is a price cap. when that is lifted in the new year a significant increase on the way. good morning. the warning that gas bills could be doubling by the time we get into the new year. that is because energy prices have been rising for months now. last year a typical annual dual fuel bill wasjust over now. last year a typical annual dual fuel bill was just over £1000. but as we are saying, you might of the price cap, the upper limit providers can charge you, that went up by 12% in october. it meant 15 million people saw their bill go up as a result. typical annual dual fuel bill is now around £1200 per year. that is a record increase. and the bad news is it probably won't end there. ofgem is expected to raise there. ofgem is expected to raise the price cap again early next year. we don't know what that will mean for bills but the charity national energy action, it has forecast a £550 increase in april to the dual fuel bill. it means bills would have doubled in more than 18 months. catherine from west yorkshire says she has to decide whether she can afford to turn her heating on, or find other ways to stay warm. i very rarely put the heating on, to be honest. i've got blankets. i use my hairdryer. basically i wrapped myself in a blanket i'd use my hairdryer to warm me up. i'm very, very funny about putting the heating on because even when it's on, my anxiety levels are so high and i'm constantly like timing it. when can i turn it off? how quickly will it last? everything like that. it's a nightmare.— last?

for gas and electricity, has recent all—time high. it has gone up by 250% since january. energy providers have been passing that cost onto customers. usually at this point we would say the best way to find better prices to shop around for a cheaper deal. but, there are very few deals around at the moment. that in part is down to the fact that so many smaller energy firms have already gone bust this year. 20 firms have gone out of business, with the collapse of zog yesterday. iamjoined by i am joined by the energy a nalyst analyst ellen fraser. we have seen huge increases in wholesale prices. they are being passed on to customers. we probably have not seen the worst of it. many people will be cautioned by the price cap? that’s cautioned by the price cap? that's exactly right- _ cautioned by the price cap? that's exactly right. the _ cautioned by the price cap? that's exactly right. the price _ cautioned by the price cap? that's exactly right. the price cap - cautioned by the price

significantly higher than the price cap actually reflects. that price cap actually reflects. that price cap actually reflects. that price cap actually cautions consumers from that hike for now. that is the challenge. it is a temporary ease, if you like. but ultimately, suppliers are still paying the cost on the wholesale market. that cost has to flush out somewhere. the expectation is that of the prices are going to increase quite a materially when we hit the 1st of april. ofgem are looking at the pricing mechanism at the moment. industry analysts expect that is going to be somewhere around a 40% increase we can expect in april. ads, increase we can expect in april. a huge increase of those builds do go up huge increase of those builds do go up as forecast. let's talk about people who may have been a customer of one of these energy firms that have gone bust. they have automatically been moved to a new provider. they have already seen a big increase?— big increase? they will have done.

big increase? they will have done. | quite often the smaller suppliers in the market were trying to grow market share by offering prices that were below the price cap. unfortunately, in a market where the wholesale price is so high, those prices were unfortunately unsustainable for many of them. though suppliers couldn't afford to continue and went bust. when those suppliers are appointed a replacement, all of those customers will be migrated from the failed customer onto a new supplier and effectively will be offered the price cap. they will have already seen quite a significantjump from the cheaper tariff that they probably diligently sought in the market, to go up to the price cap, and we will see likely further increases in april. is and we will see likely further increases in

energy. that is very difficult for customers like the one you spoke to customers like the one you spoke to an who are very conscious already about heating their homes. we need to make sure those customers are using things like the warm home discount to effectively subsidise their energy bill. there is some help available directly through the government or many of the bigger energy suppliers have funds they can help customers to tap into to ease the pain of their energy bill. for the pain of their energy bill. for the rest of us, we have to be honest, we are quite lazy about how we use energy. leaving doors open, windows open, leaving appliances are switched on, not using our heating timers to reflect when we needed the house to be worn. we need to get much, much more aware and conscious about when we use our energy, but also start to think about it has a longer term investment in our homes to make sure we are well insulated and any heat we pump into houses are retained for as long as possible. good to have your thoughts. thank you for being with us. ellen fraser, an energy analyst, on the increase we may see. the price cap to be reviewed more regularly so we don't see a big increase. nonetheless it seems bills are heading in the wrong direction. really keen to hear from you on this one. are you already struggling with your energy bills? have you got any tips for

the uk government has purchased enough booster doses to last two more winters, and could protect the country against emerging variants. the daily mirror reports that number 10 had a christmas gathering the day before harsher covid restrictions were imposed last year. downing street has said no rules were broken. the daily mail urges ministers to "stop being christmas killjoys", after the health secretary's recommendation that people should take lateral flow tests before attending gatherings. and the most read story on the bbc news website is alec baldwin's first sit—down interview since a cinematographer was killed on the set of his film rust. the actor has insisted that he did not pull the trigger of the gun that fatally wounded halyna hutchins. cani can i tell you a lovely

with day to day tasks, but with over 100,000 vacancies in the sector, many people with disabilities are finding it difficult to get the support they need. our disability affairs correspondent, nikki fox, reports. hello, guys! hello. sam and alex study media at college and are both working in a career towards a career in tv. we have like, a double act. we bounce off each other. ..and finish each other�*s... ..sentences. the 16—year—old twins have spinal muscular atrophy. and for them to be as independent as everyone else, they need a team of personal assistants, or pas. we've only got one at the minute. we've had a struggle with getting carers. so, i think we're still putting out advertisements for getting someone. i mean, if you just put our faces on the advertisement... yeah. that would help, yeah. "hello, look at us!" "and we gorgeous?! "want to get us dressed every morning? ring here." the twins' mum sarah has a budget from the council, and uses it to directly employ pas to support her boys for 50 hours a week. but at the moment she can only find someone who does 15 hours, leaving her to do the rest. being on my own with them the majority of the time, it is difficult, it is hard work. i am literally running out of ideas of where to get some help. what has the response been like from all your efforts? it's been very, very limited. and the family aren't alone. with100,000 vacancies in the care sector, disabled people are finding it almost impossible to recruit. a shortage of workers from abroad, the pandemic and vaccine hesitancy have all played a part. i've heard some really bad stories. people terrified that they're going to lose theirjobs. i've even heard people contemplating suicide, because they can't face the thought of going back to literallyjust existing. katie runs a recruitment website to help find pas. she believes the wages disabled people are able to offer, a figure often set by the local authority, is also a problem. everyone that gets a care budget has no control over how much they get to pay a pa. and in particular i've noticed a massive rise in wage requests from british nationals. it needs to be looked at, increasing people's care funding, so that they can employ the pa and the support that they need. the government says it is the local authority's responsibility to play a key role in supporting disabled people recruit and retain staff in their area. and it's investing an additional {5.4 billion into social care. we always wanted to be in tv. as a comedy duo. for sam and alex, they want their future career success to be determined on whether they're good enough to make it, not on whether they have someone to help them get up and ready for work in the morning. nikki fox, bbc news. this is something we will be talking about later in the programme. lots of people don't realise

could penetrate further inland and some sunny spells but it heals going to feel cold and a north—westerly breeze and temperatures between three and 5 c and factoring in the wind it will feel colder. overnight tonight, clearto wind it will feel colder. overnight tonight, clear to start with and thatis tonight, clear to start with and that is where we will get the minimum temperature around —1 but milder air is minimum temperature around —1 but milderair is on minimum temperature around —1 but milder air is on its way back bringing some rain into friday and the temperature by the end of the night rising to around two or 3 c. we have some spells of rain tomorrow, much milderair coming in so we are looking at temperatures in double figures but this low—pressure system through the weekend again drags in some cold air, so the temperature is going to drop and it will stay largely unsettled and quite blustery and the wind is feeling chilly and temperatures back down in single figures. i

government has announced a deal to purchase more than 100 million doses over the next two years. it comes as the current booster campaign is being significantly ramped up — with a plan to offer it to all eligible adults in england by the end of january. let's find out how the rollout is going — we're joined by one of our regular gps, dr rosemary leonard. hi, rosemary. when you heard on a personal

top of the premier league, just behind manchester city and chelsea, who also won last night. in contrast, there were boos from the everton fans, at the end to turn up the heat on manager rafael benitez, asjoe lynskey reports. the gap on merseyside is clear. two teams from the same city are now so far apart. liverpool seem unstoppable, and everton can't halt their slide down the league. even nine minutes in the first goal had been coming, but then the biggest match in town belong to one of the biggest players in the world. salah! finds the net! of course he does. that's just how he likes it. already this game was drifting beyond everton but they did not help themselves. salah was seventh at this week's ballon d'or, but in the premier league's rankings, he's by far the top scorer. right now, he rarely misses. that made it 3—1, and with diogojota's fourth, everton were at a modern low. their worst home loss in this match since the �*80s. their coach was once liverpool's manager. it is still the reds fans who sing his name. after this kind of game, it's not easy, but i have to believe we will do well, so i'm convinced in the second part of the league, we will do well, but we have to start winning. i like what i see. this was by far the best performance we've shown this was by far the best performance we've shown here at goodison since i was at liverpool and it's a very important moment. the top of the premier league as relentless as teams around them keep winning, chelsea stay top. they found a way throughout watford by 2—1. waiting for a slip—up are manchester city, who did this to aston villa. it's an absolutely fantastic goal. city are one point behind chelsea and one above liverpool. the gap is tight, but there are three clubs at the top who push each other on. rangers went seven points clear at the top of the scottish premiership after a 1—0 win at hibernian, thanks to a late penalty by kemar roofe. there were also victories for aberdeen and dundee, while it finished goalless between st mirren and ross county. the ongoing concern over the freedom and safety of chinese tennis star peng shaui means the women's tennis association, has now suspended all tournaments in china. peng disappeared from public view for three weeks last month, after accusing a top chinese official of sexual assault. since then chinese state media has released photos and videos appearing to show peng and the player did say in a video call with the international olympic committee president, that she was safe and well but the wta have said the video was "insufficient evidence" of her freedom and safety, and have now decided to pull tournaments out of china because they say, pung's case is "bigger than the business". this is something we simply cannot walk away from. if we walk away from what we have requested and reflecting the domestic abuse or abuse issues, what we are telling the world is that not addressing sexual assault with the respect and seriousness it requires, because it is difficult, is ok. and it is not. the ashes now are less than a week away, and while england's preparations have been heavily affected by rain and storms on the australian east coast, the tourists' record wicket taker says they're more confident than ever that they can win back the ashes, away from home, for the first time in 10 years. james anderson was speaking to the project ashes podcast. it's not like years ago when there was such a dominant force in australia that you are going there tentatively thinking you might win if we could just do this or that, but now we have seen them in india, the last two series here, south africa have one here, and it's definitely not an impossible task. plenty of hopes for england and this time next week i will be reporting on the first session, the first day of play in the gabba in brisbane where england have only won twice since the war, so maybe they can turnit since the war, so maybe they can turn it around and breakfast will be the place, wake up and we will be reporting on the ashes as it happens overnight. you reporting on the ashes as it happens overniaht. ., ., �* , overnight. you won't quite

away by the high winds last weekend — and now they will spend five months at the shelter before being released back into the wild. our reporter alex dunlop has been to see them. not the most elegant way to have breakfast, but a sort of fish soup in a syringe is keeping these grey seal pups alive. for the next five months, the rspca team at east winch will be foster parents to these six orphans of storm arwen. it battered swathes of the country over the weekend, mother seals and their offspring separated by fierce tidal waves. the mother's milk is substantial and is all they have and it takes three weeks for them to wean, so for the first three weeks, very, very important for them to be with their mother. so, how did frida's feeding go earlier today? she's doing really well. evangelo and his team look after seals from all over the country, so even more could be heading this way. two orphaned pups from yorkshire are due in the next day or so. they will be joining 188 hedgehogs and other wildlife already here, and while they look adorable, they have attitude. as cute as they are, we do need to bear in mind these are wild animals and we want them to keep that wild instinct, that innate instinct they have to be away from people because that will allow them to succeed even more so once they've been rehabilitated and reintroduced. all of this care will cost. the food bill alone is £27 per seal per week. they don't always know we are trying to help and as they get bigger and start to eat the fish, they start to enjoy that a lot more and that's quite nice to see, and then when you get out the other side and release them and see them go after months of care, you know you've done a good job. after four months indoors, the orphan seal pups will be allowed outside into a pool like this to continue their rehabilitation. they should be released in the early spring. norfolk has england's largest grey seal colony. it's now the height of the pupping season and more winter storms could be on their way. the advice, as ever — if you see a seal pup alone on the beach and you are worried, alert a wildlife organisation but above all else, leave it alone. alex dunlop, bbc news. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. and, a light dusting of snow behind you. are you hinting at something? possibly. good morning to you at home and we have some cold weather today and the temperature is a little bit up and down as we head towards the weekend but this is the picture this morning in great yarmouth and we've had wintry showers overnight and some lying snow on the cards and many of us will wake up to some slippery surfaces on any untreated surfaces so cold and icy start today for many of us and some showers in the forecast but equally a bit of wintry sunshine around as well and we have low pressure out towards the east and higher pressure in the south—west and that combination is drawing on the wind is from a northerly direction so coming all the way from the arctic and streaming down across the uk and over the past few hours this is where the showers have been falling on we've had snow showers across parts of northern scotland on the east coast of england but also through parts of wales, the midlands and drifting down to the london region with some sleet and snow and its falling on the really cold sub zero surfaces so a risk of ice over the next few hours and the met office have issued warnings of the icy conditions this morning. through the course of the day we will see showers across eastern scotland and down the east coast of england and it also windy in the east with gusts of a0 or 50mph that they will ease through the day and one or two showers further west for the likes of pembrokeshire towards cornwall most other places having a lot of fine weather and just three or a in the east but we are typically looking at about six up to 8 c towards the west so more cloud working in here with some outbreaks of rain and proceeding the rave there will be some snow through tonight, even down to low levels but after milder air moves on in the night it will turn back to rain, so this time tomorrow morning won't be as cold as this morning and you will notice the milder theme to the weather through friday. on friday we have a couple of weather fronts and this one clearing up towards the east and another one following on from the west so for much of england and wales it will be a cloudy day with initially rain in the south and east are more wet weather working in from the south—west later on. some brighter skies for a time for northern ireland and scotland but more of the showers working in from the north—west later in the day but temperatures between six or 9 in the north but we could see 11 or 12, so much milder in the south tomorrow. it is a short lived milder theme because heading towards the weekend with the chilly weather moving and there will still be showers around so saturday, early rain clearing the east and then sunshine and showers moving in on a cold north—westerly wind and some of them wintry over the higher ground but top temperatures of around five up but top temperatures of around five up to 9 and then on sunday another day of sunshine and some of those showers are wintry over the higher ground and it won't feel warm with temperatures around five to 9 and feeling colder when you add the wind but do watch out for the icy conditions around in the next few hours. you can't help you get in the festive mood when there is a dusting of snow and we are about

schools get ready to put on christmas carol concerts and nativity plays. and — after last year's covid cancellations — there was lots of extra excitement ahead of this fesive season. i think of parents as well, they do enjoy seeing the little ones. but the newly—identified omicron variant means teachers are having to decide whether to scale back their plans again? fiona lamdin is at a school in south london this morning to find out if the show will go on there. in this wiltshire primary, it is dress rehearsal today. they have got just four days before their nativity. christmas with the mister men. before covid, the children would perform their nativity in the local church, but now they are filming it and they are inviting families in for the screening which will happen in this

an unknown substance by a passing pedestrian, whilst on duty near parliament. the met says the officer was attacked with a substance last night, but did not need hospital treatment. detectives are appealing for help to find an ii—year—old boy from afghanistan who has been in britain for less than a month. mohammed khan was last seen in deptford at around four o'clock on tuesday. officers are growing increasingly concerned for the boy, who doesn't know his way around and doesn't speak much english. heathrow has reopened terminal 4 as a dedicated facility for processing arrivals from red list countries. the measure will keep passengers arriving from destinations on the high risk list, away from other travellers. the red list has been resurrected, with ten countries in southern africa, due to concerns about the omicron coronavirus. getting a job is not always easy especially for recent graduates going through virtual applications. but one young londoner tried a different approach to attract employers' attention. he created a pop—up stand at canary wharf, which helped landing his dream job. the 24—year—old from redbridge said he felt bogged down by the normal recruitment process. a degree used to be the pinnacle of success, but now it's more the minimum requirement. there are so many barriers to get to speak to someone. i found that recruiters got annoyed with me because i kept calling every other day just to see if anything was available. if you are heading out on public transport, this is how tfl let's see what the weather has in store. good morning. another cold start this morning, with a little bit of frost out there as temperatures are around the zero mark and high pressure is building from the south—west. we have a few showers which could turn a little bit wintry as it runs in to this colder air, and we've already had a feature this morning and a bit of wintriness further south. that is clearing away, but showers in the east could penetrate further inland and some sunny spells, but it is going to feel cold with a north—westerly breeze, and temperatures between three and five degrees. factoring in the wind, it will feel colder. overnight tonight, clear to start with, and that is where we will get the minimum temperature around —i, but milder air is on its way back, bringing some rain into friday. and the temperature by the end of the night rises to around two or 3 c. we have some spells of rain tomorrow, much milderair coming in, so we are looking at temperatures in double figures/ but this low—pressure system through the weekend again drags in some cold air, so the temperature is going to drop and it will stay largely unsettled and quite blustery, and the wind is feeling chilly and temperatures back down in single figures. i'll be back in half an hour. see you then. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today. a deal for an extra 114 million doses of covid vaccines — they'll be available for future booster programmes and could combat new variants. a year after the uk became the first country in the world to approve the pfizer vaccine, the company's boss calls for children as young as five to be vaccinated. an emotional alec baldwin outlines the events that led to the death of cinematographer, halyna hutchins, on a movie set. the trigger wasn't pulled. i didn't pull the trigger. so you never pulled the trigger? no, no, no. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them, never. what did you think happened? a sixth day without power — thousands of people are struggling to cope with freezing temperatures in the aftermath of storm arwen. victory for the top three in the premier league, as liverpool thrash everton in the merseyside derby, to turn up the pressure on rafa benitez. good morning. another cold start. sub zero temperatures. some icy stretches and wintry showers. most of us will see some sunshine later. details in ten minutes. good morning. it's thursday, the 2nd of december. the government has ordered an extra 114 million doses of covid vaccine, to be used for potential booster programmes over the next two years. the health secretary, sajid javid, said the deals future—proof the uk's vaccination programme. simonjones reports. relax your arm, light scratch. all done. the government has promised to offer a boosterjab to all eligible adults in england by the end ofjanuary. but it's also looking further ahead, to a time when boosters may be needed again and again, so it's secured an additional 60 million doses of the moderna vaccine, and 5a million doses of the pfizer jab. they will be the latest vaccines that they will have, because as we're seeing right now, there's a new variant, there's potentially new variants in the future. we know that covid is going to be around for a while. we have to learn to live with it, and one of the ways to learn to live with it is to make sure we've got the vaccines that we need, and that they're future proof. it's exactly a year since this happened. we have some breaking news for you this morning, because in the last few minutes we've heard that the first coronavirus vaccine has been approved for use in the uk. that was the pfizer vaccine. 12 months on, more than 150 million first, second and boosterjabs of the different vaccines, have been administered across the uk. at present, children aged between 12 and 15 are offered a vaccine. the boss of pfizer, in an interview with the bbc, says five to 11—year—olds should getjabbed too. i think that covid in schools is thriving. i believe that this is disturbing significantly the education system. and there are kids that will have severe symptoms. so, there is no doubt in my mind that the benefits completely, completely are in favour of doing it. while the vaccines continue to roll off the production line, pfizer has already started work on an updated omicron version of its jab, should it be needed. the world health organization says early signs suggest that most cases of the new variant are mild. scientists say they still need a few more days to determine its potential threat. simon jones, bbc news.

says he didn't pull the trigger of the gun that fatally wounded cinematographer halyna hutchins on the set of his film, rust. the star made the claim to the american network abc news, which will tonight air his first sit—down interview since the incident in october. our north america correspondent david willis reports. it's six weeks since halyna hutchins was fatally shot on the set of alec baldwin's western movie rust. we've had two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. but as the weeks have gone by, the circumstances surrounding the cinematographer�*s death have become increasingly complicated. a statement released by local detectives only hours after the shooting, referred to a firearm discharged by alec baldwin. but now the actor himself is giving his version of events. the trigger wasn't pulled, i didn't pull the trigger. so you never pulled the trigger? no, no, no. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never. what did you think happened? how did a real bullet get on that set? i have no idea. someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property. police retrieved hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the film set, including, it is thought, other live rounds. they've been investigating reports of dissatisfaction on the part of crew members, who staged a walk—out the day before the fatal shooting. and claims by the woman in charge of firearm safety, hannah gutierrez—reed, whose lawyers have said the gun could have been sabotaged. six weeks on from the tragedy in this remote part of northern new mexico, and the investigation appears to be growing more complex by the day. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. a 19—year—old man has been arrested over the death of a teenage girl in hamilton, south lanarkshire. amber gibson, who was 16, was reported missing from her home in the hillhouse area on friday. her body was discovered in a nature reserve on sunday. police scotland say enquiries are still ongoing. everton and liverpool fans united for a minute's applause at the merseyside derby last night, in memory of ava white, the 12 year—old girl who was killed last week. fans

irish pub has been unveiled as the winner of this year's turner prize. it was created by 11 belfast—based artists known as the array collective. they said the piece is in response to issues including abortion rights and mental health. it features photos, memorabilia and videos, some of them representing hidden political messages about sexuality and identity. it's almost like a little treasure hunt

northern ireland also sing some rain and sleet later on. it could become heavy. much of england and wales ending the day on a largely dry node. as we had through this evening and overnight at the

london. i'm victoria hollins. detectives are appealing for help to find an 11 —year—old boy from afghanistan who has been in britain for less than a month and has gone missing from south london. mohammed khan was last seen in deptford around four o'clock on tuesday. officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for the boy who does not know his way around and doesn't speak much english. a police officer has been sprayed in the face with an unknown substance by a passing pedestrian, whilst on duty near parliament. the met says the officer was attacked with a substance last night, but did not need hospital treatment. heathrow has reopened terminal 11 as a dedicated facility for processing arrivals from red list countries. the measure will keep passengers arriving from destinations on the high risk list, away from other travellers. the red list has been resurrected, with ten countries in southern africa, due to concerns about the omicron coronavirus. getting a job is not always easy especially for recent graduates going through virtual applications. but one young londoner tried a different approach to attract employers' attention. he created a pop—up stand at canary wharf, which helped landing his dream job. the 24—year—old from redbridge said he felt bogged down by the normal recruitment process. a degree used to be the pinnacle of success, but now it's more the minimum requirement. there are so many barriers to get to speak to someone. i found that recruiters got annoyed with me because i kept calling every other day just to see if anything was available. if you are heading out on public transport, this is how tfl let's see what the weather has in store. good morning. another cold start this morning, with a little bit of frost out there as temperatures are around the zero mark and high pressure is building from the south—west. we have a few showers which could turn a little bit wintry as it runs in to this colder air, and we've already had a feature this morning and a bit of wintriness further south. that is clearing away, but showers in the east could penetrate further inland and some sunny spells, but it is going to feel cold with a north—westerly breeze, and temperatures between three and five degrees. factoring in the wind, it will feel colder. overnight tonight, clear to start with, and that is where we will get the minimum temperature around —i, but milder air is on its way back, bringing some rain into friday. and the temperature by the end of the night rises to around two or 3 c. we have some spells of rain tomorrow, much milderair coming in, so we are looking at temperatures in double figures/ but this low—pressure system through the weekend again drags in some cold air, so the temperature is going to drop and it will stay largely unsettled and quite blustery, and the wind is feeling chilly and temperatures back down in single figures. i'll be back in an hour. see you then. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. today marks one year since the uk became the first country in the world to approve the pfizer—biontech coronavirus jab — paving the way for mass vaccination. a week later — in a moment most of us will remember — the first dose was administered to margaret keenan in coventry. let's remind ourselves of those events. good morning, you are watching bbc breakfast _

in coventry and the prime minister has accused it a huge step for it — step forward in the fight against the disease. a year on, our medical editor, fergus walsh, has been speaking to pfizer's chief executive, albert bourla. in the interview, which took place before the omicron variant was identified, fergus began by asking him where the world would be without covid vaccines. i think we will be in a very, very difficult position. i think the fundamental structure of our society will be threatened. i think we will be counting trillions of economic losses. i think it will be a challenge in human relationships. i think we will see things that we have only see in movies. in october the fda, the american regulator, approved your vaccine for five to ii—year—olds after successful trials. do you think immunising at that age group is likely to happen in the uk and europe. i believe it's a very good idea. i think that covid in schools is thriving and i believe that this is disturbing significantly the educational system and there are kids who have had severe symptoms, so there's no doubt in my mind that the benefits completely, completely are in favour of doing it. you are also doing trials in the underfives. do you think eventually we will see the under fives being immunised? we will wait to see the studies. we are using very, very small doses, so we want to make sure that we are perfectly safe. the question is, are we going to be effective in those low doses? and this is what we are waiting to see. if the studies prove that these very low doses are effective in these kids i think it's a very good way to utilise the vaccines to protect them. half the world's population, roughly, has now received at least one dose of covid vaccine but in the poorest nations it is something like one in 20 people. is it fair to say that the rich nations have grabbed most of the vaccine doses and you, in a sense, have helped them? i think it is fair to say that the richer nations utilised first the vaccine. in fact, the poor countries from day one, it cost. and there are countries where we gave them at the cost of a takeaway meal, so the price was not an issue. but the availability was limited and many countries placed orders, like the uk, very early. how do you think anti— vaccine stories that appear should best be countered? there are a number of people who are afraid of the vaccine. others are afraid of covid, some are afraid more of the vaccine. and they are not going to be convinced with scientific arguments. i think, for those who are just afraid, the only emotion of human beings that is stronger than fear is love. so i am using always this argument that the decision to get another vaccine is not going to influence only your health, it's going to affect the health of others, and particularly the health of the people you love the most because they are the ones that you interact with. so, take your courage to overcome your fears and do the right thing. that was the chief executive of pfizer, albert bourla, speaking to our medical editor, fergus walsh. fergus joins us now from windsor. it is interesting hearing albert's thoughts. you were talking to him before we had heard much about the omicron variant and really want to talk about what pfizer is doing in terms of that?— terms of that? since omicron emerged. _ terms of that? since omicron emerged, like _ terms of that? since omicron emerged, like other - terms of that? since omicron - emerged, like other manufacturers, pfizer worked on a template for ovarian vaccine, just as they did against the beta variant on delta and produced those tweaked vaccine versions in the hundred days and they were never needed. it's worth pointing out that the vaccines we use are the original vaccines against the wuhan strain and have worked very well and continue to do so but he said they will continue to work on that and will have a vaccine ready in three months but a wide—ranging interview including a big defence from him, which you would expect, of the massive profits that pfizer has made out of the pandemic, something like £26,000,000,000 of revenue from the vaccine alone. they also have an antiviral medicine which is likely to get approved very shortly and in the last few minutes, a company, gsk, havejust had a embody infusion treatment for people with mild to moderate covid, but not a vaccine but something once you got infected that has been improved by the nhra so we have another weapon in the armoury and we talk a lot about vaccines but we've come a long way since start of the pandemic for very a trick — effective treatments for covid. we can't believe it's a year since the vaccine was first announced.— since the vaccine was first announced. ~ ,, :, :,

astrazeneca which is now being supplanted partly as a result of the rare side effects that can happen with that vaccine which has been superseded in terms of boosters in the uk and a lot of other leading nations have chosen this technology. pfizer is confident about what they are doing and their vaccine has to be stored at —70 so there's been an issue about rolling out to contribute fragile health systems but i was told they will be rolling out a new formulation for sub saharan africa which can be kept in the fridge for three months which he said would be a game changers for countries because a lot of vaccine inequity and he defended himself against the charge that the vaccine makers help the origination grabs most of the jabs. fishd makers help the origination grabs most of the

there are trials ongoing in the under fives beyond that, there are trials ongoing in the underfives but pfizer said they had to wait and see, a mini dose, would prove to be safe and effective so the direction of travel is ever younger parts of the population being immunised. always good to talk to you and the busy year and i always good to talk to you and the busy yearand i imagine always good to talk to you and the busy year and i imagine the next year will be as busy. thank you. let's stay on the issue of vaccinating primary school aged children. we can speak now to professor adam finn — who is a member of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. we heard the boss of pfizer saying that he thinks it's perfectly safe and that five to 12 —year—olds should start being jabbed. where are we? what are the pros and cons? as fergus explained, as you work down through the ages there is a law of diminishing returns because luckily for us children are seldom seriously affected by the virus. unlike other viruses which have caused real problem in children, but what you get by immunising children is primarily an indirect production of adults and the extent to which we can protect adults by avoiding them being infected by children with current vaccines is uncertain. that is the balance. we clearly want to protect children as much as possible and we have good evidence that the vaccine even at a low dose produces a really good protective immune response in children and produces fewer side effects because of the lower dose. but should we be focusing on adults who more commonly get seriously ill. 50 focusing on adults who more commonly get seriously ill-— get seriously ill. so this is what ou are get seriously ill. so this is what you are wrestling _ get seriously

offering to all healthy children before the regulator has spoken is something we would be reluctant to do but once the recommendation for authorisation comes through, this is something we need to

we tend to focus on the group where there is the biggest problem rather than immunise everyone in the population. in terms of the very young children we've been seeing a handful of babies, newborn babies, often premature babies getting serious covid but the number of children between the age of six months and five years where the next trial is coming who get seriously ill with this infection, again, very, very low. it's a mild infection in children and as you move down the risk—benefit debate gets more difficult to balance. i gets more difficult to balance. i suppose every child that gets a vaccine here, that is a vaccine that cannot be given somewhere else in the world to an older person who might need it. there is the whole ethical debate about whether we should be vaccinating

ability to deliver the vaccines so during the course of next year we could expect the number of doses available to countries around the world to really go up rapidly but that doesn't mean they will necessarily be able to provide the vaccines to people as quickly as we would like right now in this country we have to think in the same terms. we have given ourselves a big challenge of offering boosters to adults in the next two months and literally the numbers of pairs of hands of people who will be up to get the vaccines will be the limiting step. it get the vaccines will be the limiting

after, with a superb finish, sending some home fans to the exits with less than 20 minutes gone. they will have missed demerai gray, who did give everton a little hope. but that was extinguished in the second half, thanks to a second from salah, and diogojota who rounded the rout off. i'm convinced in the second part of the league — i'm convinced in the second part of the league we will do well

no, no, no. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never. what did you think happened? how did a real bullet get on that set? i have no idea. someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property. police retrieved hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the film set, including, it is thought, other live rounds. they've been investigating reports of dissatisfaction on the part of crew members, who staged a walk—out the day before the fatal shooting. and claims by the woman in charge of firearm safety, hannah gutierrez—reed, whose lawyers have said the gun could have been sabotaged. six weeks on from the tragedy in this remote part of northern new mexico, and the investigation appears to be growing more complex by the day. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. a 19—year—old man has been arrested over the death of a teenage girl in hamilton, south lanarkshire. amber gibson, who was 16, was reported missing from her home in the hillhouse area on friday. her body was discovered in a nature reserve on sunday. police scotland say enquiries are still ongoing. everton and liverpool fans united for a minute's applause at the merseyside derby last night, in memory of ava white, the 12 year—old girl who was killed last week. fans also held a banner raising awareness about knife crime. ava was stabbed in liverpool city centre last thursday. a ilt—year—old boy has been charged with murder. ten minutes past eight is the time. i told you we would get an update on the weather. are you going to take us through the next couple of days? we have had a couple of pictures like that at this morning. yes, good morning. the weather is still causing us a little bit of disruption at the moment. it is cold, another wintry start. we have got notjust a widespread frost, but also some lying snow, even down to low lying levels. that is because we have had wintry showers pushing south overnight. today, after a cold and icy start, quite a lot of dry weather on the cards. sunshine around. the bulk of the uk should see some wintry sunshine. this is where the showers up and falling in recent hours. snow in the north of scotland, heavy snow showers reasoning and, some flurries of snow and some rain in the west towards southern parts of england and wales. in the next few hours, most of those showers should clear from the south. we are left with icy stretches. it is also going to be windy along the east coast. the brisk winds will tend to ease later. we will keep the showers in the east. a wintry flavour. some showers in western wales. the cloud will increase from the west later as the milder air moves in. we could see eight degrees in plymouth but only two to three in the east. this afternoon we will see the east. this afternoon we will see the rain moving into the west of scotland, and it will be preceded by some snow. at least for a time before it turns back to rain. wed in northern ireland. much of england and wales ending the day on a drying out. as we head through tonight, the rain in the west moves east. as it bombs into the cold air there could be some snow. by the time we get to tomorrow morning it won't be as cold out there as it was this morning. a milder day tomorrow but things once again a set to turn pretty chilly through the course of the weekend. sarah, thank you. pressures in the social care system are leaving thousands of disabled people struggling to recruit personal assistants, who help them live independently. pas can help out with day—to—day tasks, but with more than 100,000 vacancies in the sector, many people with disabilities are finding it difficult to get the support they need. our disability affairs correspondent nikki fox reports. hello, guys! hello. sam and alex study media at college and are both working towards a career in tv. we have like, a double act. we bounce off each other. ..and finish each other�*s... ..sentences. the ig—year—old twins have spinal muscular atrophy. and for them to be as independent as everyone else, they need a team of personal assistants, or pas. we've only got one at the minute. we've had a struggle with getting carers. so, i think we're still putting out advertisements for getting someone. i mean, if you just put our faces on the advertisement... yeah. that would help, yeah. "hello, look at us!" "aren't we gorgeous?! want to get us dressed every morning? ring here." the twins' mum sarah has a budget from the council, and uses it to directly employ pas to support her boys for 50 hours a week. but at the moment she can only find someone who does 15 hours, leaving her to do the rest. being on my own with them the majority of the time, it is difficult, it is hard work. i am literally running out of ideas of where to get some help. what has the response been like from all your efforts? it's been very, very limited. and the family aren't alone. with100,000 vacancies in the care sector, disabled people are finding it almost impossible to recruit. a shortage of workers from abroad, the pandemic and vaccine hesitancy have all played a part. i've heard some really bad stories. people terrified that they're going to lose theirjobs. i've even heard people contemplating suicide, because they can't face the thought of going back to literallyjust existing. katie runs a recruitment website to help find pas. she believes the wages disabled people are able to offer, a figure often set by the local authority, is also a problem. everyone that gets a care budget has no control over how much they get to pay a pa. and in particular i've noticed a massive rise in wage requests from british nationals. it needs to be looked at, increasing people's care funding, so that they can employ the pa and the support that they need. the government says it is the local authority's responsibility to play a key role in supporting disabled people recruit and retain staff in their area. and it's investing an additional £5.1t billion into social care. we always wanted to be in tv. as a comedy duo. for sam and alex, they want their future career success to be determined on whether they're good enough to make it, not on whether they have someone to help them get up and ready for work in the morning. nikki fox, bbc news. joining us now is fazilet hadi, who's head of policy at the charity disability rights uk. fazilet, thank you for your time. talk to me about why there is a shortage of these personal assistants?— shortage of these personal assistants?

how quickly will it last? everything like that. it's a nightmare. just a nightmare. a lot of you getting in touch about that this morning. what is behind that massive rise in prices? well, wholesale energy prices, what suppliers pay for gas and electricity they sell to us, that has reached an all—time high. the wholesale gas price has gone up by 250% since january. energy providers have inevitably been passing that cost on to us as customers. usually at this point, we have said before, we would normally recommend you shop around to find a cheaper deal on price comparison sites. but the problem is right now, there are very few of those deals available. and that is in part down to the fact that many smaller energy firms, the ones that were competing with cheaper prices, they have already gone bust. 20 firms have gone out of business so far this year. the latest was zog, which collapsed yesterday. the only real tip for people now is to keep your house well insulated and do what you can to use less energy. maybe turn off the lights, spend less time in the shower, shorter and colder washing machine cycles. we have been asking you for your thoughts. first, let's listen to one energy expert. quite often the smaller suppliers in the market were actually trying to grow market share by offering prices that were below the price cap. now, unfortunately in a market where the whole —— wholesale prices so high, those prices were unsustainable for many of them and those suppliers could not afford to continue and went bust. could not afford to continue and went bust-— could not afford to continue and went bust. . , . :, , :, , went bust. that is a real problem for energy _ went bust. that is a real problem for energy firms _ went bust. that is a real problem for energy firms now _ went bust. that is a real problem for energy firms now that - went bust. that is a real problem for energy firms now that were i for energy firms now that were competing and taking on some of the big providers. they have found prices have risen too much. they are not able to pass that onto us immediately because of that price cap. it means they have gone under. a lot of customers automatically transferred to new providers. if you are being transferred, you will find your bill probably goes if you are on a fixed rate deal, that is not honoured by the new company. a lot of people get in touch. one person has said they really put the heating on, occasionally for 20 minutes, then take it straight off. i might wear tights under myjeans, keep my coat on in the house, and i wear a hot water bottle. occasionally i will have a bath but i worry about the cost of heating the water. john has got a different view. he says, look at what some people are paying for their phone or tv package. put things in the right order, concentrate on what is important. he is happy to sit indoors with a coat on. he grew up when no one had central heating. carol from cumbria said when her supply went bust she was transferred to a new one but bills have gone up so much, she says, she is 62, lives alone, works full—time, is out of the house between seven and five monday to friday, but he cannot understand how they can justify this rise. many customers right now really feeling the effects of that. the warning that it the effects of that. the warning thatitis the effects of that. the warning that it is going to get worse before it gets better with that £550 forecast to happen in april of next year. that is the increase in the price cap. so many things going up in price right now. not least energy bills. it might make things in the new year look a bit more expensive. the real problem is that it pushes up the real problem is that it pushes up inflation across the board. we will keep an eye on that. something that is going to warm your cockles. when you haven't got the heating. cockles. when you haven't got the heatinr. . . cockles. when you haven't got the heatinr. , , :, :, , heating. this is going to give us so much natural _ heating. this is going to give us so much natural warmth. _ heating. this is going to give us so much naturalwarmth. look. - heating. this is going to give us so much naturalwarmth. look. this i heating. this is going to give us so| much naturalwarmth. look. this is much natural warmth. look. this is wandsworth, a primary school in wandsworth, a primary school in wandsworth in south london. they are practising for their nativity. let's listening. you said you were humpty dumpty. there is a zebra. is it a cow?

able to make that decision, as we been finding out as we talked to schools — been finding out as we talked to schools up and down the country. in this wiltshire primary, it is dress rehearsal today. they have gotjust four days before their nativity. christmas with the mr men. before covid, the children would perform their nativity in the local church, but now they are filming it and they are inviting families in for the screening which will happen in this outdoor classroom. iam mrsilly. i am the king. lam mrgrumpy. are you pleased your family can come and watch you? yes! it's exciting because we've heard . about it at home with the rehearsals and to come on site and see it and the actual excitement - of the kids being in class - and having parents there is really special to share it as a family. it's lovely and we're really excited. we weren't able to last year with our daughter so it's more special this year and they really enjoyed filming and is super excited for the big opening moment. the nativity has been an integral part of our school and we were never going to let covid stop us from putting on our special performance. after a few more days of travelling, during which they were stopped at various times by the police. last year the majority of primary schools including this one in fleetwood put their nativity online. they eventually arrived in bethlehem. but this year they hope it can go ahead, with some precautions. the audience are being asked to wear masks and carry out lateral flows. we are scaling it down compared to previous endeavours. we are doing it in single year groups and normally we would put lots of the year groups together, but we are not mixing the parents from one class to another, so we have put lots of things in place to try to keep everybody safe but it's very, very difficult as a balancing act and i am acutely aware that i'm not going to please everybody, but we are really going to try. but with the uncertainty around this new variant of covid, this school, like many up and down the country, are ready to adapt their plans. it has been really difficult and we've been a bit stressed this week. i speak to lots of other colleagues and it's a big decision and a judgment call and i think we have to take into account the staff and the reception and year one, do they want to go for it. we did agree before the new variant came on the scene and we can only do what we feel is right and it's a special moment for the children and very traditional and there is a lot of emotion attached to an emotive subject. it's such a difficult balancing act. the decision we make today might not feel ok in a couple of days, but at the moment, full steam ahead and we are looking forward to having parents in. one, two, three. back here, it's all outside. so they are getting ready to roll out the red carpet and serve up the popcorn as guests attend this primary�*s premiere. we are interrupting the dress rehearsal to have a chat

the premier league. it's a three—horse race at the top of the premier league and liverpool kept up with the pace, but thumping, everton 4—1, to pile the pressure on their boss, rafa benitez, in his first merseyside derby, against his former club. liverpool captain jordan henderson's early goal, got the match off to the perfect start for the visitors before mo salah, who was on top form, added to that soon after, with a superb finish, and with less than 20 minutes gone, some home fans had seen enough and were heading home. they will have missed demarai gray, giving everton a little hope. but that was extinguished in the second half, thanks to a second from salah, and diogojota who rounded the rout off. this was by far the best performance we have shown here at goodison park since i was at liverpool and it was a very important moment and good timing because we could see in the games against manchester united and everton here that we made a big step in our development, that we can take these kind of games. chelsea stay top of the premier league, but they had to work hard, for a second half winner from hakim ziyech, at watford. thomas tuchel�*s side have now won, five away games on the trot in the league. manchester city remain a point behind chelsea in second — they beat aston villa 2—1 at villa park, bernardo silva with the pick of the goals for pep guardiola's side, condemning steven gerrard to his first defeat as villa manager. a footnote on the chelsea and watford game, it was suspended for more than half an hour after an emergency in the crowd. medical staff from both teams helped the fan who suffered a cardiac arrest and was eventually ta ken to who suffered a cardiac arrest and was eventually taken to hospital. and there was also a delay to the start of the second half between southampton and leicester city after a supporter fell ill during the interval at st mary's. rangers went seven points clear at the top of the scottish premiership after a 1—0 win at hibernian, thanks to a late penalty by kemar roofe. there were also victories for aberdeen and dundee, while it finished goalless between st mirren and ross county. the ongoing concern over the freedom and safety of chinese tennis star, peng shaui means, the women's tennis association, has now suspended all tournaments in china. peng disappeared from public view for three weeks last month, after accusing a top chinese official of sexual assault. since then chinese state media, and the player did say in a video call, with the international olympic committee president that she was safe and well. but the wta have said the video was "insufficient evidence" of her freedom and safety, and have now decided to pull tournaments out of china because they say peng's case is "bigger than the business". this is something we simply cannot walk away from. if we walk away from what we have requested, and as you reflected it is a domestic abuse issue, what we are telling the world thenis issue, what we are telling the world then is that not addressing sexual assault with the respect and seriousness that it requires, because it is difficult, is ok. and it is not. a lot of support from

he has been cold, then milder and we are still feeling the effects of the storm, so what next? feeling the effects of the storm, so what next? the weather still causing a bit of disruption out there and it is cold and wintry and we have some icy stretches but there is something serene and beautiful about the sunrise here over the snow—covered fields in buckinghamshire so we've had some relatively low levels and over the night that's causing some issues with icy stretches on and untreated surfaces and today we expect a bit of wintry sunshine and some showers will linger through the day but we have higher pressure building in dry weather but low pressure towards the east is driving the northerly winds that are bringing notjust cold air across the uk but those wintry showers and this is the past few hours with snow flurries across the north of scotland and heavy ones around the east coast of england and even through parts of wales and southern england, some of the rain, sleet and snow showers which are clearing off towards the end of the south, have blessed the legacy of icy stretches on untreated surfaces, so a chilly start to the morning but a lot of blue sky and a lot of wintry sunshine coming through and we will keep the windy conditions around the east coast with gusts of 40 or 50mph the winds easing cancel if you wintry showers lingering through the day for lincolnshire and east anglia and temperatures just three or 4 on the east and we could see 8 c further west on the sky will cloud over from the west later on with some patchy rain but ahead of it for a time, further snow, almost anywhere for a time we could see the snow at low levels but it turns back into rain because milder air is working on overnight, so this time tomorrow temperatures won't be as low as this morning and we are looking at double figures from the word go in the south—west. tomorrow's weather is different to today with winds coming in from a westerly direction instead of northerly and a couple of weather fronts bringing outbreaks of rain, so the first one brings rain to southern and eastern england in the morning and that will clear away and some drier weather but more heavy showers in the north—west putting into western scotland and more rain into western scotland and more rain into the south east and wales, but look at the temperatures. 11 or 12 in the south, only six or seven across the north, but a brief mild speu across the north, but a brief mild spell on friday because as we head into the weekend the temperatures are yo—yoing and it feels chilly once again, so we have a north—westerly wind on saturday, driving in the mix of sunshine but also further showers which will be falling sleet and snow over the high ground. it won't be particularly warm, between five and 9 on saturday and feeling cooler than that when you add on the effect of the wind. into sunday, pretty similar and the wind. into sunday, pretty similarand we the wind. into sunday, pretty similar and we have sunny spells and a few showers coming in, mainly in the north and north—east and again, temperatures only between 509 c when you add on the wind chill and if you head out watch out for the icy conditions, but many of us should see some sunshine at times today. lovely story for you now. this is a family that has been able to remember an heirloom and an airman in world war ii to remember an heirloom and an airman in world war i! who was executed by the nazis and he had a bracelet that was lost and it has been returned to his family more than 70 years after he was killed. freddie habgood's plane was shot down over france in 1944. he survived the crash but died in a concentration camp — and that is where the bracelet was recently found. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. the hours of darkness over hitler's germany are about to be made hideous. the men of bomber command know well what they have to do. the raf bombing campaign of the second world war was one of the most dangerous and deadly missions. onjuly the 28th, 1944, hundreds of lancaster bombers left eastern england for another raid over germany. one of those airmen was sergeant freddie hapgood. he wasjust 21. his nephew and niece grew up knowing little about what happened to their uncle. we didn't know much of the details about it because my father never talked about it. i always feel a bit cheated that we never knew him. because, you know, he would have beenjust a bit younger than our father. he would have married and we would have bagged more cousins. that's a whole line of your family you've lost. two of the seven crew died that night when their lancaster was shot down by a german fighter over france. freddie was among those who managed to bail out. one escapes, three go into a prisoner of war camp and poor fred hapgood falls into the hands of the dreaded gestapo. and from then, we know what happened to him. freddie hapgood was betrayed by a local, who handed him over to the gestapo. they took them here. this concentration camp in alsace. but three years ago, a local girl found something unusual in the earth. she was just working during her holidays and raking the yard, tidying it. suddenly she saw a gleaming something in the soil. it was a bracelet. it was the only thing that was ever found, the only surviving item that was ever found in the ash pit. and i think the only reason being is because it was silver. freddie's bracelet, the last moment of his final mission, was returned to the family. in a simple ceremony in london, they handed over to the head the air force. i think this is the perfect place to put it, really. raf church. it is on display. i think a lot of people come here and visit. they hope that others will now remember the uncle they never knew. jonathan beale, bbc news. you can just imagine what it meant to the family. the court of appeal will today give its ruling on the latest stage of a legal battle between meghan, the duchess of sussex, and the publisher of the mail on sunday. this is the privacy case that has been going on for a while. the duchess sued associated newspapers limited after the paper reproduced parts of a
