a new report into the disorder says 2000 "ticketless, drunken thugs" got into the ground following a collective failure by organisers, security firms and the police. the fa has accepted the findings and apologised. a review into the response to storm arwen is launched by 0fgem to make sure those affected get the best support. and the royal shakespeare company has announced that the veteran actor sir antony sher has died of cancer at the age of 72. we start with breaking news this hour — a father and his girlfriend have been sentenced over the torture and killing of six—year—old arthur labinjo—hughes. the boy was starved and beaten by emma tustin who has been sentenced to life with a minumum term of 29 years at coventry crown court. arthur's father thomas hughes has been given 21 years behind bars after being convicted of his son's manslaughter. it comes after little arthur suffered an unsurvivable brain injury on 16 june 2020. the judge said arthur led a lonely and solitary life and was subjected to the most unimaginable suffering. let's talk to our correspondent outside court helena wilkinson — and just a warning some of the details you'll hear from helena are quite distressing. just tell us what the judge has said with this sentencing. the just tell us what the “udge has said with this sentencing. the sentencing took lace with this sentencing. the sentencing took place in — with this sentencing. the sentencing took place in the _ with this sentencing. the sentencing took place in the last _ with this sentencing. the sentencing took place in the last ten _ with this sentencing. the sentencing took place in the last ten minutes i took place in the last ten minutes orso took place in the last ten minutes or so here at coventry crown court. an absolutely harrowing case, perhaps an understatement. unimaginable cruelty that was inflicted on six—year—old author by his father and stepmother. the sentencing has concluded here at coventry crown court but tustin was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 49 years and thomas hughes, arthur's father was sentenced by the judge here to 21 years. in his sentencing remarks at the judge said, important to point out that tustin had been brought to court here today but she refused to come up here today but she refused to come up to the court room to be sentenced. the court heard that she was still in the cells but she was refusing to come up to the court and so thejudge continued refusing to come up to the court and so the judge continued in refusing to come up to the court and so thejudge continued in her absence. when he sentenced both of them he said he was going to sentence them as if she was in the courtroom but then the sentencing remarks a little earlier on the judge said that author, who was six years old, was not allowed to return to school, he was made to sleep on the hard floor, —— arthur. thejudge said the behaviours of use and tustin were spiteful and sadistic. he said to tustin that she recorded a number of video and audio recordings and thejury a number of video and audio recordings and the jury heard throughout this two month trial, absolutely harrowing audio recordings where arthur could be heard crying, he was pleading to be fed and at times he was saying that nobody loved him. thejury was fed and at times he was saying that nobody loved him. the jury was also shown hours upon hours of cctv footage, that was from a camera that was inside the lounge of the home and that is where the couple kept six—year—old arthur. he was made to sleep on the floor without a mattress. he was left alone for much of the time. he was starved, dehydrated and regularly beaten. the judge said to tustin, "the final act of killing was carried out by you, tustin." he went on to say that "you wanted thomas hughes, arthur's father but she didn't want to be troubled by arthur any longer. you had given him a potential legal guilt of salt, an hour before he died you took a photo of him when he was lying lifeless on the floor. you didn't summon help, you move his body around the house, you no emotion or compassion." the judge describes tustin, who as i say was in the cell, not in the dock, to hear that sentence, he described her as a manipulative woman. he said to hughes, when he sentenced him, "the threats of what you would do to arthur where encouragement to tustin, i have seen no remorse from you at all." arthur's father thomas hughes has been sentenced here this afternoon to 21 years and his partner emma tustin has been sentenced to life with a minimum of 29

with so many questions that have been raised by this case whether we are going to hear from anyone else today, any family members or any of the authorities that must have been involved in this case? we authorities that must have been involved in this case?— authorities that must have been involved in this case? we heard some victim personal— involved in this case? we heard some victim personal statements _ involved in this case? we heard some victim personal statements in - involved in this case? we heard some victim personal statements in court i victim personal statements in court and those statements are an opportunity forfamily to and those statements are an opportunity for family to be able to tell the court, those who have committed a crime the impact that that has had on them. we heard from arthur's paternal grandmotherjoanne hughes, arthur's paternal grandmother joanne hughes, who arthur's paternal grandmotherjoanne hughes, who described her grandson as happy, contented, joyous and exuberant. she said, would he have been alive today, had her son thomas hughes not met tustin, it did emerge during the trial that she, the paternal grandmother of arthur, had spotted a bruise on arthur and she raised that with the authorities, but social services, the trial heard, concluded there were no safeguarding concerns. there is an independent review that is under way at the moment. what that will be looking at is what kind of impact authorities did have —— contact authorities did have —— contact authorities had with arthur on the months leading up to his death. this happened in march last year at the start of lockdown but there is a review under way that will be asking those questions, where opportunity is missed, could anything further have been done to stop what had happened to arthur, but an incredibly harrowing case, which is perhaps an understatement. the jury here yesterday after the convictions, they asked the judge here yesterday after the convictions, they asked thejudge if they could hold a minute's silence for six—year—old arthur and the judge agreed that they could do that. thank you. joining me now is our correspondent sanchia berg who has reported extensively on child abuse cases which include victoria climbie in 2000 and 17—month—old peter connelly, also known as baby p, who died in 2007. it seems to say where we are here again. we know these cases are complex, but the price point, when social services and the police are called into a case because family raises concern, what happens at that point, why did this go unchecked? it is really hard to know unless we have the serious case review exactly what went wrong in this case, but if you think about the victoria colombia case which was a long time ago, ifelt that colombia case which was a long time ago, i felt that 20 years ago, what had happened then was that many opportunities had been missed both by the doctors and by the social workers to intervene. there was a very young social worker in charge of victoria's case, she was overloaded with complex child protection cases, he had poor guidance from her managers. she wasn't able to speak to victoria on her own because victoria only spoke french, she was eight, and lisa arthurworrey only spoke english. three important things didn't happen in that case and in baby peter conneuy in that case and in baby peter connelly pulls my case as well but we could see once the serious case review came in what had been missed. efforts had been made over the years since that case, particularly and baby peter to change the system so that different agencies do exchange information much better and talk to each other. we really can't know until we see what happened, what has happened when we see the serious case review, and this was, as hell and i was saying, under covid lockdown. 0ne and i was saying, under covid lockdown. one of the things many people were concerned but last year was wonderful children might be missed because schools are often the first places where teachers notice something is wrong and something is done. —— vulnerable children. all we know in this case the social workers did visit but they said this was a happy household, nothing was wrong. we really need to know a lot more about this case.— about this case. how much is resourcing — about this case. how much is resourcing and _

significant things that many experts in the field have pointed to art the cuts to early intervention. work with families before they reach some kind of crisis point. they say local authorities have had to cut back on those programmes right across the country, so by the time they get to a family, it is often quite late. while they may intervene or they may not, they don't know that family and the way they might have done had there been more early intervention projects like sure start which could perhaps alert the agencies to these families with problems much earlier. i think another issue is what is called the threshold for intervention, which is the point at which social services will get involved with a family. there has been a lot of discussion about how that has now become too high, families don't go into help, theyjust go into intervene, to act, to take the child away. all of these areas i'm sure will be discussed a lot as a result of this case, because it is yet another awful case where a child has been tortured, has had an absolutely terrible existence, just like victoria climbie, who had 128 separate scars and injuries on her body when she died. and in'uries on her body

because you looked there were lessons learned in the sense that many social workers became much more defensive, they acted much more quickly to take children away from families and one of the issues the current care review is looking at is whether that actually for some families has gone the wrong way, that social workers are taking children away— the wrong way, that social workers are taking children away rather than workin: are taking children away rather than working with _ are taking children away rather than working with the _ are taking children away rather than working with the families _ are taking children away rather than working with the families so - are taking children away rather than working with the families so the - working with the families so the child can stay

the care system and as i say the independent care review, which was set up by the government, is looking at all that and will try to recommend ways that the system can work better. 0bviously avoid

announced a series of departures, as it continues to deal with racism allegations made by former player azeem rafiq. director of cricket martyn moxon and coach andrew gale have now left the club, along with all members of the coaching team and the backroom medical team. club chair lord patel said difficult decisions were required to build a progressive and inclusive culture. let's speak to our sports reporterjo currie. was this expected that there would be a complete clear out here? the fallout at be a complete clear out here? tue: fallout at yorkshire be a complete clear out here? tte: fallout at yorkshire cricket be a complete clear out here? t“t9: fallout at yorkshire cricket club following the racist allegations made by four player azeem rafiq. —— racism allegations. the details which have led us to this point, at the allegations report found that azeem rafiq was the victim of racism harassment and bullying. he had two spells with yorkshire between 2008 and 2018. he then appeared in parliament ahead of it dcms select committee, giving evidence about that racial harassment, it left him wanting to end his own life. as a result english cricket has announced an overhaul, looking at its attitudes and policies and what needs to be brought in looks at issues of tackling diversity within the sport. at yorkshire before today chairman roger hutton and chief executive mark arthur had already left their positions, today those departures were followed by director of cricket martyn moxon, coach andrew gale, the entire backroom coaching staff, and all in all 16 people more have left the club today. martyn moxon, who has recently been on sick leave, had been yorkshire's director for cricket since 2007 whilst former captain andrew gale had already been suspended from the club as part of an investigation into a tweet he sentin an investigation into a tweet he sent in 2010. following today's announcement the club because like new chairman lord patel said significant change was needed at the club and whilst today the decision made worked up to take they were in fact in the best interests of the club. ~ :, fact in the best interests of the club.~ :, :, ,, , fact in

with the previous regime, a regime that has been described as toxic. but at the moment it certainly appears that most if not all the key people involved in the incidents involving azeem rafiq have now left the club and maybe at this point yorkshire certainly hope to maybe draw a line under some. thank ou. the headlines on bbc news... the couple who killed arthur labinjo—hughes have been jailed, his father for 21 years and his partnerfor life in prison for a minimum of 29 years. the judge said the couple's actions were actions were �*spiteful and sadistic�* and that arthur was subjected to the �*most unimaginable suffering�*. people could have died as "ticketless, drunken and drugged—up thugs" stormed wembley stadium before the euro 2020 final, according to a new review into the disorder. a review into the response to storm arwen is launched by 0fgem to make sure those affected get the best support. the metropolitan police says it is "deeply sorry" that so many people faced "unacceptable scenes of disorder" at wembley stadium before the euro 2020 final injuly. an independent review said it was a source of "national shame" that around 2,000 people without tickets managed to get into the stadium. it also criticised police for deploying officers too late. commander rachel williams from the met police gave this statement a little earlier. through hindsight and baroness casey�*s analysis, it�*s clear that the events before the match overshadowed the anticipated incident following the penalty shoot out. whilst we had police presence in wembley across the day, we accept that the bulk of this was not present early enough to prevent scenes of disorder. it is a matter of deep regret that policing and all of those involved in the planning for the euro 2020 final did not foresee events before the match outside wembley. our sports correspondent natalie pirks is outside wembley stadium. what has this review recommended should happen now? tt what has this review recommended should happen now?— what has this review recommended should happen now? it has made some key recommendations. _ should happen now? it has made some key recommendations. five _ should happen now? it has made some key recommendations. five national. key recommendations. five national ones and three specifically for wembley and the fa. they are things like games of this magnitude gimmick games of national significance like this should have a new category with the government meaning there would be a greater response from police. it has also called on the fa to lead a national campaign to try and bring about a sea change in vans�* attitudes when it comes to the drinking culture and now we have learnt a drug culture around matches like this. i think that would be very difficult indeed. the police we have just heard have admitted there were failings and that they will take on board these recommendations. the fa have apologised and said they need to work together because this area here i am in now is referred to in the report as zone x. essentially this is where it all started to go quite wrong from very early on, even as early as 10am and bearing in mind kick wasn�*t until eight, we are seeing on the ground people drinking, there was open a drug—taking in the streets, general violence, it was very clear something was going quite wrong and police weren�*t around. i think this area which is actually private land, not owned by the fa, police were saying it is not us, the fa were saying it is not us, the fa were saying it is not us, at no point where the collective responsibility to compare what happened here. i think that is one of the key recommendations. they put their heads together this to joel�*s concerns and start to essentially work together in the future. the re ort work together in the future. the report said _ work together in the future. the report said the _ work together in the future. the report said the absence of fans introduced in stadium 30 signalling it on the van in drinking on london transport not enforced quickly enough. it all seems surprising because policing and control around football matches has been going on for years. football matches has been going on foryears. do football matches has been going on for years. do we know specifically what went wrong here? tt is what went wrong here? it is described — what went wrong here? it is described as _ what went wrong here? it is described as a _ what went wrong here? it is described as a perfect - what went wrong here? tit 3 described as a perfect storm and i think that is the perfect way to explain what happened that day. you had england�*s biggest match for 55 years, the first final they had been in since the 66 world cup, at covid restriction starting to ease. this game had been extended, the capacity, 267,000 people, just as the panel was. there were much more people inside but that still left around 25,000 seats — micro fans knew wouldn�*t be taken. and the fact that it was the summer and this glorious moment for england. it all came together and that on top of the fact that wembley is you can see around me if you come here regularly as i do, the development in this area in the last ten years has been astonishing. wembley is unrecognisable from the stadium that it used to beat. it is incredibly hard to police. it is incredibly hard to police. it is incredibly hard to police. it is incredibly hard to form a ring of steel around it. there was no fan zones because of the pandemic so it made it very difficult to police for the stewards, we had a pandemic, so it meant a lot of the experienced stewards were no longer involved with the game. the report does mention stewards took it upon themselves and tried to do a great job but there were 17 mass breaches of the disabled fan gates and the report it mentions how one fan posed as a steward in a hi vizjacket and tried to separate a disabled fan from his father in order to put his wheelchair through the open disabled gate. to give you another idea of what wembley is normally like, after an england match there is normally around three tonnes of rubbish. they clear it overnight. this time there were 31 tonnes of rubbish, including uprooted trees, broken glass and you�*re in and faeces. it took five days for them to clear that mess. it really was a scale like we have ever seen at wembley before and as the report says it was all just a perfect storm. report says it was all 'ust a perfect storm.* report says it was all 'ust a erfect storm. :, :, i. , :,, report says it was all 'ust a erfect storm. :, :, , ., , perfect storm. how do you stop fans drinkin: perfect storm. how do you stop fans drinking and — perfect storm. how do you stop fans drinking and

national campaign to bring about a sea change in vans�* attitudes. that would be incredibly hard. england fans come to a game, have a drink on the cob, several drinks in the pub and they come to matches and that is the way it has always been. now cocaine has had the report claims cocaine a lot, it says it was at fault. there are mentions of the 7000 fans identified 45% of them had taken cocaine, that is astonishing. to anyone who doesn�*t come to football regularly that�*ll be a shock, to those of us who do come to football regularly that is something we do see and some fans, not everyone of course, but there is an element of drinking and drug culture around football that will be incredibly difficult for the fa to tackle. how do you stop fans drinking in the report it talks about how wembley council said how do we do that, talk of banning alcohol sales in the area, they don�*t have the power to do that. it is about all of the stakeholders coming together, putting our heads together and seeing how they can thrash out this problem, but it is certainly not going to be an easy one to fix. certainly not going to be an easy one to fiat-— british scientists studying seven covid—19 vaccines have found that pfizer and moderna are the most effective to use as boosterjabs. it�*s the first study of how well boosters work, and the researchers found promising signs that a third jab also protects against illness and death from the new 0micron variant. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has the details. amid the uncertainty around the 0micron variant, some good news. further confirmation the booster jabs being used in the uk are safe and effective. a study involving nearly 3,000 adults saw boosters given about three months after second doses of astrazeneca or pfizer. seven vaccines were studied in all, but the two used for boosters in the uk, pfizer and moderna were the best. we saw very encouraging results from all the vaccines we tested, in terms of the magnitude of the booster antibodies but also in terms of how the body remembers the vaccine and then is able to respond in future to the long—term memory. boosters can cut the risk of infection by more than 93%. the plan is to offer them to all adults aged over 18 in the uk before the end of january, and it will usually either be the pfizer or moderna jab, while scientists at finding out more about the 0micron variant. much of that work is taking place in south africa where 0micron is driving a rapid growth in infection rates. very early evidence suggests there may be a higher risk of reinfection from 0micron compared with the alpha, beta or delta variants but it is hard to say yet whether it will lead to more hospitalisations or deaths. at the moment, we are not seeing very high rates of community transmission but it is early days yet. what is important is to continue to observe and monitor and hopefully in the next couple of weeks, we will have a much better picture. the emergence of the 0micron variant has prompted big changes to the uk�*s vaccination programme. as well as offering boosters to more people, the time between second dose and booster has been slashed from six down to three months so the encouraging news on how effective they are is welcome. the data on the boosters is fantastic because it is suggesting that if you have had your first and second shot, followed by the booster, you have got supercharged immunity and this will help us to at least deal with some of the effects of 0micron when it really takes off here. there have been some problems — delays in changing the legal framework to accommodate the new plans have seen some people turned away from walk—in clinics or unable to book appointments. now millions of people are being urged to wait to be called for their jab rather than trying to contact the nhs. little wonder that health officials described the uk�*s vaccine roll—out programme as the greatest logistical exercise the health service has faced since the war. dominic hughes, bbc news. 0ur health editor hugh pym told us where we�*re at with the roll—out. on monday it was announced by the expert committee advising ministers, thejcvi, that as a response to the threat posed by the new variant, the gap between the second dose and the booster would be reduced from six months to three and it would be available to under—40s and people have been turning up at walk—in vaccination centres hoping that it will happen straightaway and it hasn�*t and some have been asked to go away and just come back when they are invited. there are some key messages. don�*t come in for your booster unless you are invited. but secondly, the mechanics on the national booking website are not there yet. and the vaccinators and the people running the vaccine centres have not got the legal framework that they need to be entitled to change the protocols. that might all sound rather bureaucratic, but it does take time to get it in place, and as we heard in that report, scotland�*s national clinical director, professorjason leitch, said it is the greatest challenge, the overall vaccination programme, for the nhs since the war. i am told it could take another few days and it may well not begin in earnest, certainly in england, until the 13th of december, monday week. gps are also involved in this, talks need to take place with them. they are ongoing, about what other type of work that maybe suspend, less urgent work, so they can focus on vaccines. it is a huge ask of the nhs and all the vaccinators and leaders of the nhs in the different nations and it does need a bit more time to set up. it is being reported from scotland the government there has weren�*t cases of the 0micron variant of covid could rise significantly over the coming days as it is confirmed those reported so far are no longer all linked to a single event. the statement said reported cases were now linked to several different sources including a steps concert. first minister nicola sturgeon says "it confirms our view there is no community transmission of this variant within scotland and we would expect to see cases of rice perhaps significantly in the days ahead." dr vicky baillie is a senior scientist at the university of witwatersrand in johannesburg in the infectious diseases analytics research unit. we first heard about 0micron thanks to the scientists in south africa. what are you now seeing a few days on from first hearing publicly about this? what do you know about the 0micron variant now in terms of transmission

evidence, we are seeing it is transmitting very quickly. within texaco we were seeing any cases to samples we are testing now at the hospital are positive and they are positive for the new variant. it is incredible how the positivity rate has increased so much over the last couple of days which gives you an idea of the transmissibility even though we don�*t have any solid data that can be released yet. in terms of severity we are definitely seeing increases in the number of hospitalisations. however the bulk of the infections we are seeing are in a much younger population. not expecting a lot

really have been flip flopping this week, it�*s been very cold recently. now we�*re in a slightly milder air mass, with it, though, a lot more cloud around today and even some spots of rain, particularly later on in the day. but it is set to turn colderjust in time for the weekend. pressure chart looks pretty messy. lots of weather fronts on there that will bring some rain later on. you can see the mild air mass across southern areas. blue colours will start to invade the northwest as we end the day. that rain clears away from southern britain during the overnight period. and then the colder air mass starts to plunge southwards with plenty of blustery showers, these turning increasingly wintry, particularly over northern hills. so it will be turning colder through the course of the night, particularly in northern areas. and you can see why, this area of low pressure into saturday starts to push on in towards the north sea, to open the floodgates for this cold arctic air, and

said it would be done by last night at ten and then at six o�*clock in the morning they were still saying that, then they postponed that sunday the fifth at 10pm and then two hours later it became wednesday the eighth at tempe. we don�*t really believe them any more. we don�*t think they really understand which area is going to be back when because we also know from having spoken to various members of the council and the fire brigade and engineers, entire sections of the power line are having to be rebuilt and in some circumstances this could take a long time. telling people it will be

south—east london with a much reduced majority. the contest was triggered by the death of the former ministerjames brokenshire, who died of lung cancer at the age of 53. a local tory councillor, louie french, succeeds him — as our political correspondent ione wells, reports. wrapped up warm to deliver ballot boxes. turnout was expected to be low in this cold december by—election, and only 34% of voters turned out. it meant the tories�* majority was cut from 19,000 to about 4,500. but their candidate, louie french, still got more than half the vote, although there was a 10% swing to labour. and reform uk, formerly the brexit party, came third. 11,189. the result was not surprising in this safe tory seat, even if the opposition had hoped recent negative headlines about so—called sleaze could chip away at their strong majority. people look at the westminster issues, they see a number of issues and allegations being thrown around at different parties, you know? it wasn't something that was coming to me, people know i'm not involved. i haven't been in westminster, you know? people have said, "louie, we need you to get in and deliver on these priorities," and that's what i'm fully committed to doing. labour are encouraged by this result, with their candidate, daniel francis, arguing a swing like that could translate into future gains for them elsewhere. well, it�*s been an incredibly good result tonight for labour here. we�*ve had a swing of over 10%. if that swing was replicated across the country, we would be making significant gains from the conservatives and on a path back to government. but tory party chairman 0liver dowden says a solid hold midway through an election term, when the government might expect a knock, is a good result for them. obviously, it's very difficult for governing parties to do well in midterm by—elections, but we secured over 50% of the vote, and i think that was thanks to a good campaign run by the local candidate. tory cheer here in bexley, but in north shropshire, nerves are growing for the by—election there in two weeks�* time, with parties feeling there is a lot more to play for. ione wells, bbc news. we arejust we are just hearing that a major incident has been declared in northumberland because of the devastating impact caused by storm arwen over the weekend. northumberland county council saying this is because of ongoing concerns for those communities worst affected. the chief executive there said they are extremely concerned for those residents who continue to be without power and in some cases water as well. as we heard from a guestjust water as well. as we heard from a guest just a water as well. as we heard from a guestjust a few moments ago. the damage caused to some power lines is devastating and they do not know how much longer this will continue. they say it is unprecedented and that the council is doing everything they can. the council and other organisations must accept additional support and they were discussed that this afternoon in terms of what will help they can get and what more they can do to support people. we will update you when we know. the government�*s bounce—back loan scheme — that�*s the initiative fraudsters have stolen billions of pounds by abusing the government�*s bounce—back loan scheme — that�*s the initiative that was designed to help small businesses survive during the covid pandemic. according to a new report from the national audit office, more than one in ten of the loans may have been fraudulent, costing the taxpayer almost £5 billion. the report says that measures put in place to stop fraud were implemented too slowly. our correspondent, angus crawford, reports. a hard stop. police arrest a drug dealer, a member of a manchester gang that used a front business to hide their crimes. and this is it. from a couple of portakabins, they planned to take over the local cocaine market. but what�*s really extraordinary is they managed to get a £25,000 bounce back loan to help their business through the pandemic. and they weren�*t the only ones. it�*s a bounce back loan application that�*s been approved for £50,000. last year, this undercover investigator showed us how criminals were setting up fake companies to exploit the system. it seems to be free money for the scammers. it�*s going to cost us billions. 4.9 billion, according to today�*s report. anti—fraud measures, it says, were implemented too slowly to be effective and are inadequate. well, today we announced a brand—new loan scheme for the smaller businesses... designed as a life—saver forsmall firms, more than £47 billion was handed out. but how much of that will legitimate firms ever pay back? it�*s going to be horrendous. it�*s a nightmare. i�*m worried. i�*ve asked the government to set up a helpline. mike runs an online support group for business owners who took out a loan, and now fear they may go bust. they�*ve now got the repayments starting. a lot of people simply have not bounced back, which was the whole idea of the scheme. as soon as they�*re due, it is going to be a tidal wave. it will be. there is no ifs, bunts or shunts about that. the nao says £17 billion may never be repaid. and 100,000 loans are already in arrears. i've had to contact my doctor about having some anti—depressants. i haven't been able to properly sleep for the last 20 months. £50,000 seemed like a life—saver for anne—marie and her printing firm. it now feels like a millstone. the bounce back loan is hanging there over our heads at the moment. you know, at the time, i guess, i had two choices. we either take on a loan and carry on and try to just ride through the storm, or we close the doors. but the storm isn�*t over? well, this is the thing. it'sjust about starting, i think. loans that kept hundreds of thousands of firms alive became a dead weight for others and a cash cow for criminals. angus crawford, bbc news. the death has been announced of the renowned stage actor sir antony sher. he was 72 and had been diagnosed with cancer. sir anthony was widely regarded as one of the country�*s finest contemporary classical actors. david sillito looks back on his life. deformed, unfinished, sent before my time into this world, scarce half made up. every now and again, a performance goes beyond mere good reviews. antony sher�*s compelling richard iii in 1984 was such a role. i think my biggest problem is being young and beautiful. it is my biggest problem because i have never been young and beautiful. a few months later, he was the drag queen arnold in torch song trilogy. both roles olivier award winning. but his story began with rejection by rada. they sent a letter saying, "we strongly recommend that you think of another career." at the time, that really puts you on the line and you really have to do... it takes quite a lot of strength to work out whether they�*re right or not. as a child, he was shy, solitary and acting was seen as a way to bring him out of himself. he liked the idea of disguise, a mask for this gay, jewish, south african. kirk in the history man. but the plaudits didn�*t lead to film and tv stardom. his home was the theatre. my my nose is enormous! he and the man who became his husband, the director greg doran. their great successes... titus andronicus... othello... lear... macbeth. he also painted. he was a successful novelist. but antony sher was at his best on stage, taking on those shakespearean greats. if i tell thee a lie, spit in my face and call me horse. in all their compelling glory. sir antony sher, who has died at the age of 72. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with stav. hello, there. it really has been a week of temperature changes, up and down. but today, we are in a slightly milder wedge of air, so less cold, i should say, for many, milder in the south. but with that, a lot more cloud and outbreaks of rain. you can see the pressure chart looks pretty messy. quite a few weather fronts around. we�*ve got more weather fronts poised to push in to bring some wet weather at times but we are in that less cold air through today, as you can see here, particularly for england and wales. but the cold air will make a return for the weekend. for the rest of today, it stays pretty cloudy for most of us, quite damp across southern areas. probably the best of any brightness will be across north—east england and scotland. here, lots of showers pushing to western scotland and we will see a batch of rain moving into south wales and south—west england later on. temperatures will reach 11 or 12 degrees across the south, a little bit higher than the last couple of days in the north but still feeling quite chilly in places, where it�*s cloudy. tonight, a whole rush of showers push down from the north—west and across many parts, in fact. clear spells in between. these will be turning increasingly wintry, particularly on the hills in the north. the weekend is looking colder for all areas, and with low pressure nearby, we will see a mixture of sunshine and showers, which may have a wintry element to them. you can see this area of low pressure slipping into the north sea, opening the floodgates to some cold westerly winds and it will be quite strong as well, which will accentuate the cold feel. lots of showers, northern and western areas through saturday morning. some good spells of sunshine in the south, once the rain clears away. these showers will become more widespread into the afternoon. blown on by a strong north—westerly wind. these are mean wind speeds and gusts could be higher than that. top temperatures will be around 5—8 degrees. sunday, probably fewer showers for the north and west thanks to a ridge of high pressure building in. with low pressure over the north sea, it is eastern parts of the country which could see showers or longer spells of rain, again with a wintry flavour to them. another chilly day despite more sunshine around with temperatures ranging from 5—8c. into next week, it stays unsettled with sunshine and showers or longer spells of rain. there is a potential of windy weather around the middle part of the week. this is bbc news. the headlines... the couple who killed six—year—old arthur labinjo—hughes have been jailed. arthur�*s father faces 21 years, and his partner life in prison for a minimum of 29

personal statements, an opportunity forfamily some victim personal statements, an opportunity for family members to tell those who have committed the crime is about the impact they have had on them. we heard from arthur�*s paternal grandmotherjoanne hughes, who said today in court that arthur was happy, wasjoyous, was exuberant, and that his death had turned their life into perpetual grey. it also emerged during the trial that arthur had been seen by social workers two months before he was died. it wasjoanne hughes his paternal grandmother who spotted a bruise on arthur but the trial heard that it was concluded by the social workers that there were no safeguarding concerns, but there is an independent review now under way which will be talking to all of the authorities and those who may have come into contact with our third to see if there were opportunities missed. but unimaginable cruelty that was inflicted by hughes and tustin on a six—year—old defensive little boy and they have been sentenced, trans —— tustin to life with a minimum term of 29 years and hughes, arthur�*s father who was convicted of manslaughter, he has been sentenced today to 21 years. thank you. joining me

arthur. that child safeguarding approach review must leave no stone unturned in establishing what took place before arthur died and whether more could have been done to protect and ultimately save him. but it also needs to form a wider discussion of how we prevent these appalling cases of child cruelty from ever happening again. white of course we hear that sentiment every time these tragic

this happened at the beginning of the pandemic, perhaps when different working practices were in place, that is no excuse but this inquiry will really look at what was most if anything in relation to arthur. we certainly heard at the nspcc during the first year of the lockdown we had an increase in a number of contacts to the nspcc, 23%, from members of the public concerned about child welfare.

andrew gale have now left the club, along with all members of the coaching team and the backroom medical team. club chair lord patel said difficult decisions were required to build a progressive and inclusive culture. our sports reporter jo currie told me more about these latest departures. the fallout at yorkshire cricket club following the racist allegations made by former player azeem rafiq have continued. the details which have led us to this point, after the allegations, a report found that azeem rafiq was the victim of racism harassment and bullying. he had two spells with yorkshire between 2008 and 2018. he then appeared in parliament ahead of a dcms select committee, giving evidence about that racial harassment, it left him wanting to end his own life. as a result english cricket has announced an overhaul, looking at its attitudes and policies and what needs to be brought in when it looks at issues of tackling diversity within the sport. at yorkshire before today chairman roger hutton and chief executive mark arthur had already left their positions, today those departures were followed by director of cricket martyn moxon, coach andrew gale, the entire backroom coaching staff, and all in all 16 people more have left the club today. martyn moxon, who has recently been on sick leave, had been yorkshire�*s director of cricket since 2007 whilst former captain andrew gale had already been suspended from the club as part of an investigation into a tweet he sent in 2010. following today�*s announcement the club�*s new chairman lord patel said significant change was needed at the club and whilst today the decisions made were tough to take they were in fact in the best interests of the club. what happens next? presumably a race on to replace all those people to try and rebuild things at the club? yes, it�*s expected a new director of cricket will be announced in a not—too—distant future but in terms of where yorkshire go from here no one is entirely sure. there are still people at the club who are associated with the previous regime, a regime that has been described as toxic. but at the moment it certainly appears that most if not all the key people involved in the incidents involving azeem rafiq have now left the club and maybe at this point yorkshire certainly hope to maybe draw a line in the sand. the metropolitan police says it is "deeply sorry" that so many people faced "unacceptable scenes of disorder" at wembley stadium before the euro 2020 final injuly. an independent review said it was a source of "national shame" that around 2000 people without tickets managed to get into the stadium. it also criticised police for deploying officers too late. the author of the report, baroness casey, said people almost lost their lives. i think what happened was a very near miss and that would be a significant loss of life or injury is probably on a scale that sadly we saw at hillsborough. i think the benefit of it being a near miss is actually that we can learn from it to make sure it never happens again. i think loads of people are excited about the final, the country was in about the final, the country was in a fantastically excited atmosphere and i think everybody thought we had just lost a game, and we haven�*t won the tournament, but actually we had literally had people almost losing their lives, being crushed in a football stadium. i think it is too close and we cannot allow that to happen again and we must sort it out. commander rachel williams from the met police said lessons would be learned. through hindsight and baroness casey�*s analysis, it�*s clear that the events before the match overshadowed the anticipated incident following the penalty shoot out. whilst we had police presence in wembley across the day, we accept that the bulk of this was not present early enough to prevent scenes of disorder. it is a matter of deep regret that policing and all of those involved our sports correspondent natalie pirks is outside wembley stadium. the striking thing is about this report, it seems these actions should have been preventable but there are a lot of fans with alcohol and drugs problems, just tell us what this report says. t and drugs problems, 'ust tell us what this report says.j_ and drugs problems, 'ust tell us what this report says. i think the best way of _ what this

says. i think the best way of describing it as a - what this report says. i think the | best way of describing it as a near miss amid a perfect storm, it was a perfect storm of conditions that day. we were coming out of strict covid regulations into a bit more of a loose situations were 67,000 fans into the semifinal and the final. and england were on the biggest match in 55 years and there were no fan zones around here because of the pandemic, stewarding wasn't as strong because of the pandemic, experienced stewards had been let go and a combination of factors that lead to different stewarding that day. the police had not quite foreseen just how big this match would be and hasjust foreseen just how big this match would be and has just heard they have apologised for that, so as it was they were thinking turning up around three o'clock and eight o'clock kick—off, it was clear from 10am, i was here, there needed to be here much quicker than that and by the time they got here around midday it was clear they were just in trouble, they couldn't disperse the officers they had to really collectively deal with the disorder. gain is cited in this report is a huge bomb. there was open drug—taking here at wembley. and clear intoxication from fans, just to give you an idea of the sort of scale, normally fans lee around three tonnes of rubbish for a normal england game. this time there were 31 tonnes that took five days to clear and that rubbish included broken glass, toppled trees, and you're in and faeces. it really was and quite terrible turn of events that had led to it. as baroness louise casey has said in this report we came incredibly close to a disaster that they. she we came incredibly close to a disaster that they.— we came incredibly close to a disaster that they. she talks about the fact lives _ disaster that they. she talks about the fact lives could _ disaster that they. she talks about the fact lives could have _ disaster that they. she talks about

problem she said in the report is that _ said in the report is that hillsborough was never far from said in the report is that hillsborough was neverfarfrom her mind. in terms of the fans that were crushed and the fans that died that day and this is incredibly different, here she is solely blaming fans really what happened that day, clearly that is very different to what happened at hillsborough, but you can understand the fear and the worry that many fans who did have tickets that they must have felt, because there were 17 breaches of gates around here. i7 breaches of gates around here. there were 2000 ticketless fans got in and only 400 were rejected. the worry is it could have been so much worse because a lot of the report talks about how there were up to 6000 ticketless fans waiting outside, waiting during the penalty shoot—out to breach the stadium, to run in and then you would have had a real problem of fans trying to leave the stadium and those fans trying to get in in order to storm the stadium, the pitch, who knows what they were thinking at that time? it could have been far worse and i think the issue now is how the authorities respond and what english football learns from this game. has been any response as yet? yes, - football learns from this game. has | been any response as yet? yes, the fa have basically _ been any response as yet? yes, the fa have basically apologised - been any response as yet? yes, the fa have basically apologised and . fa have basically apologised and said they will take on board what happened. they also said they will collectively try and put heads together and speak to other stakeholders in the game. you have the situation here at wembley where you can probably see behind me, it is very built up, restaurants, bars, people coming to houses and flats and schools in the local area that all come at around this time, it is very built up and developed. it is unrecognisable to the wembley we knew from ten years ago. that makes it incredibly difficult to police. there are private landowners responsible for this land, police had to get involved, council have to get involved, the fa, they all need to put their heads together and work out how the police at this kind of area to make sure nothing like that ever happens again because that could seriouslyjeopardise wembley in the future and it could seriously have a knock—on effect for things like the world cup bid which is something the government have talked about wanting to do, they're putting money at a moment into a paper looking at how effective a bid could be for the world cup in the future. today the dcms has said actually we want to do that until we get assurances from the fa that they will implement the recommendations in the review, recommendations such as making games like this of national significance so important that the police have to make a great response that would mean perhaps the police start policing it from the day before, make sure there are boots on the ground to stop anything like that happening again. another thing one of the recommendations was the fa comes up with a campaign essentially to try and bring about a sea change in fans attitudes, the way they approach matches, perhaps all day drinking, perhaps the drug—taking we are starting to see associated with football matches, that will be very difficult for the fa but the fa has said they will take on board all the implementations and look forward to implementing them in a future. that sounds like a — implementing them in a future. that sounds like a big _ implementing them in a future. that sounds like a big chance for somebody. thank you. we are hearing from wales they have found a first case of the omicron variant, cardiff and wales university health board area linked to international travel. apparently apparently the welsh authorities are saying we are preparing to respond rapidly to emerging variants of concern and intensive investigation is under post—public health action are being taken to slow any spread. they cite the health impact of the omicron variant is still being assessed, currently no substantial evidence to suggest it will lead to a more severe form of illness but the data is being kept under constant review. they say in the meantime sticking to the rules, continued to be the best way to protect ourselves and the national health service. the first omicron variant case confirmed in wales. we heard earlier as well from its government there are a number of cases linked to a number of different events. british scientists studying seven covid—19 vaccines have found that pfizer and moderna are the most effective to use as boosterjabs. it's the first study of how well boosters work, and the researchers found promising signs that a third jab also protects against illness and death from the new omicron variant. our health correspondent dominic hughes has the details. amid the uncertainty around the omicron variant, some good news. further confirmation the booster jabs being used in the uk are safe and effective. a study involving nearly 3,000 adults saw boosters given about three months after second doses of astrazeneca or pfizer. seven vaccines were studied in all, but the two used for boosters in the uk, pfizer and moderna were the best. we saw very encouraging results from all the vaccines we tested, in terms of the magnitude of the booster antibodies but also in terms of how the body remembers the vaccine and then is able to respond in future to the long—term memory. boosters can cut the risk of infection by more than 93%. the plan is to offer them to all adults aged over 18 in the uk before the end of january, and it will usually either be the pfizer or moderna jab, while scientists at finding out more about the omicron variant. much of that work is taking place in south africa where omicron is driving a rapid growth in infection rates. very early evidence suggests there may be a higher risk of reinfection from omicron compared with the alpha, beta or delta variants but it is hard to say yet whether it will lead to more hospitalisations or deaths. at the moment, we are not seeing very high rates of community transmission but it is early days yet. what is important is to continue to observe and monitor and hopefully in the next couple of weeks, we will have a much better picture. the emergence of the omicron variant has prompted big changes to the uk's vaccination programme. as well as offering boosters to more people, the time between second dose and booster has been slashed from six down to three months so the encouraging news on how effective they are is welcome. the data on the boosters is fantastic because it is suggesting that if you have had your first and second shot, followed by the booster, you have got supercharged immunity and this will help us to at least deal with some of the effects of omicron when it really takes off here. there have been some problems — delays in changing the legal framework to accommodate the new plans have seen some people turned away from walk—in clinics or unable to book appointments. now millions of people are being urged to wait to be called for their jab rather than trying to contact the nhs. little wonder that health officials described the uk's vaccine roll—out programme as the greatest logistical exercise the health service has faced since the war. dominic hughes, bbc news. let's speak now with martin michaelis, a virologist, and professor of molecular medicine at the university of kent. given that a new omicron variant has got so many mutations, as it definitely clear that the boosters and vaccines we have will protect? unfortunately it is fair to say that at the moment nothing is clear. the only thing that is really clear is that we have a new variant and this has about 15 new mutations and 32 of those are in the s spike protein of the surface that causes coronavirus and that is the protein the virus needs to get into cells, and that is worrying or can be worrying for two reasons, the first one is the spike protein we see ten changes in the bound insight to the receptor on the cell surface, and that means if it combines better it might go in better and be more transmissible and produce more virus. the other issue is all the vaccines we use are all inducing unity, that means antibodies, and t cells directed against the spike protein. if that changes that might interfere with our immune system. we really have to wait now until we clearly see whether these changes and mutations are changes in the genetic code, whether they actually translate to a difference in behaviour. we whether they actually translate to a difference in behaviour.— difference in behaviour. we are obviously also _ difference in behaviour. we are obviously also being _ difference in behaviour. we are obviously also being told - difference in behaviour. we are obviously also being told that l difference in behaviour. we are i obviously also being told that we must get our vaccines and boosters because that does give us the best likelihood of protection, so that is a very important message, isn't it, that people should remember? {iii that people should remember? of course. you want to have maximum protection. it is always relative protection. it is always relative protection. it is not black and white. you are not 100% or 100% vulnerable, so the higher our community level is the higher it will be protection from the omicron variant. wejust will be protection from the omicron variant. we just don't know how relative to the other variants the omicron variant will sit. this is the reason why the time window to the reason why the time window to the boosterjabs will shorten for people because now that omicron is arriving we want to have the highest possible protection to prevent the variant from taking hold and spreading as much as possible and obviously causing disease and death. the world health organization have talked about the vaccines having to be adjusted to take into account omicron. how long does that take, will they be working on that already? figs will they be working on that alread ? �* , . will they be working on that alread ? a ., , ., already? as far as i understand the vaccine producers _ already? as far as i understand the vaccine producers work _ already? as far as i understand the vaccine producers work on - already? as far as i understand the vaccine producers work on that - vaccine producers work on that already. but is actually technically not such a big thing. rather more like changing the tires on your car. this is really the process of adopting the virus, the vaccine, sorry, to the new sequence, will something start within days or weeks or so, the biggest time gap is until enough doses are produced to vaccinate many people because we will have to produce millions and hundreds of millions and millions of doses again later on. that is the major time gap. technically that is not difficult to tell.— not difficult to tell. when you look at the information _ not difficult to tell. when you look at the information on _ not difficult to tell. when you look at the information on this - at the information on this particular variant, at the information on

seen a blueprint, there might be a slightly higher reinfection rate in people who have previously been infected. obviously that might enable the virus to spread more and more people who already have the disease or who are vaccinated. if this is true, we have to see whether that result in severe disease or not. it is really very early. we are in a time of uncertainty. we can't predict really with accuracy. it's a bit like trying to predict football scores from the premier league at the weekend. he always only know what is happening once you have the result. . , . , result. that is an

by the power networks following storm arwen, which — a week on — has left thousands of homes still without power and the army being deployed to help. 130 troops have been sent to the grampian region of northern scotland, and around 100 to north—east england. durham county council says that as of last night between four and five thousand properties in the county were still cut off, and a 'major incident�* has been declared. northumberland county council has also declared a major incident. luxmy gopal reports from butterknowle in county durham. warm shelter and hot meals, basics provided by

am sleeping in here, which is not ideal, eating what i can in here, boiling pans of water on the log burner. you can only take so much. do you know what? i burst into tears, i am not ashamed to say. joanne is relying on a nearby community centre, along with her neighbour anne. i think we have just been left out and forgotten about. i am more worried about the emergency services. where we are, there is no signal and no internet, how, if somebody needed an ambulance, would they get hold of it? in aberdeenshire, the military has been already helping out after tthe council put out an urgent request. around 4000 homes are being visited to offer support. the infrastructure is pretty fragile, the weather has not helped, high winds that came yesterday have further weakened some places. we are hoping it gives them that reassurance that somebody is looking out for them. despite this help, numbers of residents are still struggling, without power for a week. they must know when they are going to reconnect my house. instead of telling me every day that it will only be hours. i could have planned for the long haul, not the short haul. the problem, as from saturday, all your camping equipment, glasses, coal, everything has been in short demand. many people are still left without power or any certainty about when it will return. we have people on the ground and working with the local authorities and local resilience forums to support those customers, we are making proactive calls out to vulnerable customers, people that have been in touch with us that we know they are in vulnerable situations. some have been told it could be december the 8th, 12 days after the power first went out. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. today has been mild. temperatures have been flip—flopping all week. a lot of cloud spots of rain. less cold across northern parts of the uk but milder across the south. temperatures reaching 12 or 13 across the channel islands and the first south—west of thing. further rain pushing in from the south—west with this milder air. the blue colours are never too far away and they will make a return as we head into the weekend. it will turn much colder with sunshine and wintry showers. this area of rain is slowly pushing into cornwall and devon as we speak, also turning wetter for western scotland. sorry bursts of rain. the best of the sunshine today has been the north—east of scotland. elsewhere a lot of cloud. overnight the rain clears away from southern england and then try for a time before a whole rush of showers moved on from the north—west, boring bands across england and wales. areas could be quite wet. showers turning increasingly wintry across the north of the country as the air continues to turn colder. much colder this weekend. brisk north—westerly winds. sunshine and showers. most of the showers on saturday. see you later. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the couple who killed six—year—old arthur labinjo—hughes have been jailed. arthur's father faces 21 years and his partner, life in prison, for a minimum of 29 years. the judge said the couple's actions were actions were 'spiteful and sadistic�* and that arthur was subjected to the 'most unimaginable suffering'. the director of cricket, head coach and entire coaching team at yorkshire county cricket club have left the side, after a report found former player azeem rafiq suffered racial harassment and bullying at the club. the euro 2020 final is branded a day of 'national shame' — after 2,000 "ticketless, drunken

showing the omicron coronavirus variant may evade some immunity — but uk research suggests some promising signs that booster vaccines could help. a review into the response to storm arwen is launched by 0fgem to make sure those affected get the best support. the royal shakespeare company has announced that the veteran actor sir antony sher has died of cancer at the age of 72. sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. manchester united's interim boss ralf rangnick says he could stay on as manager beyond his initial six months in charge. at his first press conference since taking over at old trafford, rangnick�*s also been asked about how he thinks cristiano ronaldo will adapt to his approach to playing. you always have to adapt your style of football to the players you have available, not vice versa, and having seen cristiano yesterday in the second half, i mean, at the age of 36, amazing, top professional. at his age, i have never seen a player who is still that physically fit. he is still a player who can easily make the difference. next to germany where rising coronavirus infection rates in bavaria mean that bayern munich's champions league game against barcelona next week will be played behind closed doors at the allianz arena on wednesday night. bayern have already qualified for the knockout stages as group winners, with barca and benfica battling it out for the second spot in the last 16. it's the inaugral saudi arabian grand prix this weekend and the drivers have never driven the street track in jeddah before. it's also the penultimate race of the season withjust eight points separating championship leader max verstappen and lewis hamilton. hamilton just edged verstappen in first practice earlier. hamilton has been critical of saudi arabia hosting a grand prix saying he's not comfortable there because of the country's human rights record. second practice starts just before 5pm. the quarter—finals are underway at

these are live pictures that we can bring you. seven time champion ronnie o'sullivan is in action against fellow englishman and 5th seed kyren wilson. it's a repeat of last year's world championship final — which o'sullivan won. "the rocket" came back from two frames down to square the match at 2—2 before wilson took a 3—2 lead. it's currently 4—3 to wilson and the first to six wins. on the other table belgium's luca brecel is 3—0 up against anthony mcgill of scotland. cricket and there's mixed news for england ahead of the ashes which start next week in australia. importantly, allrounder ben stokes looks in decent form — hitting 42 in his first game for more than four months. it was just an intra squad warm—up game but stokes took two wickets and then hit six fours in 56 balls before retiring. not so good for the other batters — captain joe root and jonny bairstow falling for first ball ducks and hameed and malan only making single figures in the first innings. england's preparations have been severely hampered by rain but veteran ashes bowler stuart broad says it's no bad thing. it's been a great bonus for us to get these overs in here. i must admit, on thursday afternoon when the rain was still pouring down i thought we might struggle for some overs, but even just getting one day for us and some miles in the legs and the batsmen spending time in the middle, it is priceless, really. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. let's go back to the story breaking in the last half hour. the first case of the omicron covid variant has been confirmed in wales. it has been located in the cardiff and vale university health board area, and is linked to international travel. let's speak with our correspondent in cardiff, tomos morgan. what more do we know? as you

it has been found i what more do we know? as you mentioned, it has been found in cardiff, linked to international travel, and the welsh government say they are prepared to respond rapidly to any variants of concern, and in terms of public health action, it is being taken to slow any spread. we heard from public health wales and they say they do not believe there is any evidence of any wider community transmission as of yet and at the moment the delta variant continues to be the dominant strain of coronavirus in wales as it stands. i have been speaking to welsh officials and they have said at the moment things are going well when it comes to the corona virus pandemic, hospitalisation rates and critical care admissions have decreased here recently — coronavirus pandemic. the only people who are in hospital are those who are not vaccinated which shows that the vaccine is working but nevertheless there is concern about this new strain because we don't know so much about it, apart from the fact we are beginning to believe it is more transmissible, so no doubt there will be concerns now in wales and it will be interesting to see our public health wales and the welsh government response if there are more cases of this strain as time goes on. we are more cases of this strain as time goes on— are more cases of this strain as time aoes on. ~ ~ ., ' time goes on. we

regions have had different regulations but what is your sense there about how they might respond on masks and travel and socialising and all the rest of it, especially in this very busy christmas run—up? mark drakeford, the first minister, he has been more conservative when it has come to easing restrictions across wales. he has been praised by some but not by others, for doing that. i think he has also said on several occasions that if it came to it, if it was needed, he would be prepared to put restrictions back in place, and it would be a top—down approach, opposite to how we ease them, ie, the first thing to be brought back in would be limiting meeting draw indoors in homes, and there may be looking at things like rules of six in social gatherings although we are a way off that because the general situation is a better pitcher now but of course with the new variant and the concerns of the wider health community about that, that may change, but the one thing mark drakeford has said, differently to borisjohnson, he is prepared to bring in restrictions if it needs to be. ., ., ., , more now on the report into the disorder caused by ticketless fans storming wembley stadium for the euro 2020 final. the author of the report lady casey said what should have been a glorious national occasion turned into 'a day of national shame. we heard a little from her earlier this hour — we can bring you more of that interview with her now. that near miss could have been a significant loss of life, sadly on a scale with something like hillsborough. the benefit of it being a near miss is that we can learn from it so it never happens again, and i think that lots of people are excited about the final, the country was very excited, and there was a great atmosphere and everybody thought we had just lost again and we had not won the tournament but we literally had people almost losing their lives, being crushed in a football stadium. it is too close, and we cannot allow that to happen again, and we must sort it out so that absolutely doesn't happen again. home sort it out so that absolutely doesn't happen again. how shocked are ou b doesn't happen again.

middle of the review, i became very clear and clearer and clearer about the extent of the damage, people trying to destroy things like disabled bays, and they were pulling emergency exit doors and fire doors and when they did that, they essentially created potential for crush and what you see on the cctv cameras but also steels, you see a clear story of almost near death crushing and so i think that is a conclusion that i took really carefully. it extended the length of the review and obviously i have sought very clear expertise from a crowd safety expert amongst others to be absolutely

trafalgar square, hyde park, greenwich, no fan zone of any significance, and where we are sitting now, normally on a match day there are 9000 places, 9000 watering places where people can go and drink and watch the match but that wasn't available on that date, it was about 1000 and england was winning. the beginning of the tournament, they were odds—on favourites but as they went closer and closer

conservatives have won the old bexley and sidcup by—election — holding on to the stronghold in south—east london with a much reduced majority. the contest was triggered by the death of the former ministerjames brokenshire, who died of lung cancer at the age of 53. a local tory councillor, louie french, succeeds him — as our political correspondent lone wells, reports. wrapped up warm to deliver ballot boxes. turnout was expected to be low in this cold december by—election, and only 34% of voters turned out. it meant the tories�* majority was cut from 19,000 to about 4,500. but their candidate, louie french, still got more than half the vote, although there was a 10% swing to labour. and reform uk, formerly the brexit party, came third. 11,189. the result was not surprising in this safe tory seat, even if the opposition had hoped recent negative headlines about so—called sleaze could chip away at their strong majority. people look at the westminster issues, they see a number of issues and allegations being thrown around at different parties, you know? it wasn't something that was coming to me, people know i'm not involved. i haven't been in westminster, you know? people have said, "louie, we need you to get in and deliver on these priorities," and that's what i'm fully committed to doing. labour are encouraged by this result, with their candidate, daniel francis, arguing a swing like that could translate into future gains for them elsewhere. well, it's been an incredibly good result tonight for labour here. we've had a swing of over 10%. if that swing was replicated across the country, we would be making significant gains from the conservatives and on a path back to government. but tory party chairman oliver dowden says a solid hold midway through an election term, when the government might expect a knock, is a good result for them. obviously, it's very difficult for governing parties to do well in midterm by—elections, but we secured over 50% of the vote, and i think that was thanks to a good campaign run by the local candidate. tory cheer here in bexley, but in north shropshire, nerves are growing for the by—election there in two weeks' time, with parties feeling there is a lot more to play for. lone wells, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... the couple who killed arthur labinjo—hughes have beenjailed — his father for 21 years and his partnerfor life in prison for a minimum of 29 years. thejudge said arthur was subjected to the 'most unimaginable suffering'. people could have died as "ticketless, drunken and drugged—up thugs" stormed wembley stadium before the euro 2020 final, according to a new review into the disorder. a review into the response to storm arwen is launched by 0fgem to make sure those affected get the best support. the death has been announced of the renowned stage actor sir antony sher. he was 72 and had been diagnosed with cancer. his death was announced by the royal shakespeare company. sir anthony was widely regarded as one of the country's finest contemporary classical actors, and had a long association with the rsc. david sillito looks back on his life. deformed, unfinished, sent before my time into this breathing world, scarce half made up. every now and again, a performance goes beyond mere good reviews. to become the one against which all others are measured.— others are measured. which i must reach unto- -- _ antony sher�*s compelling richard iii in 1984 was just such a role. when they are gone, then i must count my gains. i think my biggest problem is being young and beautiful. it is my biggest problem because i have never been young and beautiful. a few months later, he was the drag queen arnold in torch song trilogy. 0h, oh, i've been beautiful. both roles olivier award winning. but his story began with rejection by rada. they sent a letter saying, "we strongly recommend that you think of another career." at the time, that really puts you on the line and you really have to... it takes quite a lot of strength to work out whether they're right or not. as a child, he was shy, solitary. acting was seen as a way to bring him out of himself. he liked the idea of disguise, a mask for this gay, jewish, south african. on tv, he was the revolutionary howard kirk in the history man. but the plaudits didn't lead to film and tv stardom. his home was the theatre. my nose, sir, is enormous! he and the man who became his husband, the director greg doran. their great successes... hail! titus andronicus... othello... the moor changes with my poison. lear... macbeth. he also painted. he was a successful novelist. but antony sher was at his best on stage, taking on those shakespearean greats. if i tell thee a lie, spit in my face and call me horse. in all their troubled, complex, compelling glory. sir antony sher who has died at the age of 72. fraudsters have stolen billions of pounds by abusing the government's bounce—back loan scheme — that's the initiative that was designed to help small businesses survive during the covid pandemic. according to a new report from the national audit office, more than one in ten of the loans may have been fraudulent, costing the taxpayer almost £5 billion. the report says that measures put in place to stop fraud were implemented too slowly. our correspondent, angus crawford, reports. a hard stop. police arrest a drug dealer, a member of a manchester gang that used a front business to hide their crimes. and this is it. from a couple of portakabins, they planned to take over the local cocaine market. but what's really extraordinary is they managed to get a £25,000 bounce back loan to help their business through the pandemic. and they weren't the only ones. it's a bounce back loan application that's been approved for £50,000. last year, this undercover investigator showed us how criminals were setting up fake companies to exploit the system. it seems to be free money for the scammers. it's going to cost us billions. 4.9 billion, according to today's report. anti—fraud measures, it says, were implemented too slowly to be effective and are inadequate. well, today we announced a brand—new loan scheme for the smaller businesses... designed as a life—saver forsmall firms, more than £47 billion was handed out. but how much of that will legitimate firms ever pay back? it's going to be horrendous. it's a nightmare. i'm worried. i've asked the government to set up a helpline. mike runs an online support group for business owners who took out a loan, and now fear they may go bust. they've now got the repayments starting. a lot of people simply have not bounced back, which was the whole idea of the scheme. as soon as they're due, it is going to be a tidal wave. it will be. there is no ifs, bunts or shunts about that. the nao says £17 billion may never be repaid. and 100,000 loans are already in arrears. i've had to contact my doctor about having some anti—depressants. i haven't been able to properly sleep for the last 20 months. £50,000 seemed like a life—saver for anne—marie and her printing firm. it now feels like a millstone. the bounce back loan is hanging there over our heads at the moment. you know, at the time, i guess, i had two choices. we either take on a loan and carry on and try to just ride through the storm, or we close the doors. but the storm isn't over? well, this is the thing. it'sjust about starting, i think. loans that kept hundreds of thousands of firms alive became a dead weight for others and a cash cow for criminals. angus crawford, bbc news. with nuns on tiktok and imams on instagram, religions across the world are trying to reinvent themselves on social media. research commissioned by the bbc shows that religious content, especially on tiktok, is growing faster than average. our global religion reporter sofia bettiza has the story. religion is adapting to new social media trends, fast. short videos like these are becoming really popular. on tiktok, this hashtag has 9 billion views. diwali has over 2 billion. the hashtag #islam? more than 60 billion hits. these nuns dedicate their entire lives tojesus christ. but after they finish praying, this is what they get up to. they're making a video on tiktok. we got to go, we got to go, we got to go. don't you think that some people might not take you seriously? i think there are a lot of stereotypes about nuns out there. there's an idea that you lock yourself into an institution, like, all the rules, all you're giving up. so when we share those videos, we really want to show that we are human and we live. and to say they have fun is an understatement. they do pranks... laughter ..orjump on the latest tiktok trend. what kind of comments do you get? oh, they range. yeah, they range! there is a whole strand of folks who are like, "i don't even know how i got on nuntok, but i'm here to stay". from a convent to a mosque, and this is the biggest in the uk. for thousands of years, people have come into places of worship to learn more about theirfaith. but now, religious messages are echoing through tiktok, instagram and other social media platforms, and that means they're reaching people who might never come to a place like this or speak to a priest, an imam ora rabbi. sabah decided to become an imam when he was only 17. i don't want you to ever give up. start by reading one verse a day. it puts life into perspective. thanks to his videos, people have found him online and have come to him with all sorts of problems. it's also been a platform where people turn to me with questions that might not relate to faith. they might be dealing with... drug abuse, they might be dealing with relationship issues, and i try to help them to the best of my ability. it's happening in every major faith around the world. in china, these buddhist monks have gained such a large following on douyin, the chinese version of tiktok, that tourists travel to their temples just so they can meet them. the nuns pray for everyone who comments on their videos. would you pray for someone who has left a hateful comment? oh, more. yeah, watch out. we put our senior sisters on those comments. of all the places to get stuck during a snow blizzard, an ikea furniture store is potentiallty not the worst. this is ikea's showroom in the danish city of al—bawg in northernjutland. after several customers and about two dozen employees were stranded by a snowstorm, ikea turned the store into a vast bedroom. customers and workers spent the night sleeping in the display beds. translation: i took the one that looked the best, - but i have no idea what kind of bed it is. i just took the one that looked really good. translation: hasn't it always been a dream to have - ikea all to yourself? i think it's cool. translation: iwanted to try a hard mattress, l because what i have at home is soft, and i was able to test the whole - range here and check if i needed i to change my mattress at any time. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello, there. it really has been a week of temperature changes, up and down. but today, we are in a slightly milder wedge of air, so less cold, i should say, for many, milder in the south. but with that, a lot more cloud and outbreaks of rain. you can see the pressure chart looks pretty messy. quite a few weather fronts around. we've got more weather fronts poised to push in to bring some wet weather at times but we are in that less cold air through today, as you can see here, particularly for england and wales. but the cold air will make a return for the weekend. for the rest of today, it stays pretty cloudy for most of us, quite damp across southern areas. probably the best of any brightness will be across north—east england and scotland. here, lots of showers pushing to western scotland and we will see a batch of rain moving into south wales and south—west england later on. temperatures will reach 11 or 12 degrees across the south, a little bit higher than the last couple of days in the north, but still feeling quite chilly in places, where it's cloudy. tonight, a whole rush of showers push down from the north—west and across many parts, in fact. clear spells in between. these will be turning increasingly wintry, particularly on the hills in the north. the weekend is looking colder for all areas, and with low pressure nearby, we will see a mixture of sunshine and showers, which may have a wintry element to them. you can see this area of low pressure slipping into the north sea, opening the floodgates to some cold westerly winds and it will be quite strong as well, which will accentuate the cold feel. lots of showers, northern and western areas through saturday morning. some good spells of sunshine in the south, once the rain clears away. these showers will become more widespread into the afternoon. blown on by a strong north—westerly wind. these are mean wind speeds and gusts could be higher than that. top temperatures will be around 5—8 degrees. sunday, probably fewer showers for the north and west thanks to a ridge of high pressure building in. with low pressure over the north sea, it is eastern parts of the country which could see showers or longer spells of rain, again with a wintry flavour to them. another chilly day despite more sunshine around with temperatures ranging from 5—8c. into next week, it stays unsettled with sunshine and showers or longer spells of rain. there is a potential of very windy weather around the middle part of the week. this is bbc news. the headlines... the couple who killed six—year—old arthur labinjo—hughes have been jailed. arthur's father faces 21 years, and his partner life in prison, for a minimum of 29 years. the judge said the couple's actions were actions were 'spiteful and sadistic�* and that arthur was subjected to the �*most unimaginable suffering�*. —— shameful and sadistic. the director of cricket, head coach and entire coaching team at yorkshire county cricket club have left the side, after a report found former player azeem rafiq suffered racial harassment and bullying at the club. the euro 2020 final is branded a day of �*national shame�* — after 2000 "ticketless, drunken thugs" got into wembley stadium. a new report into the disorder found a collective failure in planning, and said people could have died. scientists in south africa report the first real world data, showing the omicron coronavirus variant may evade some immunity — but uk

store — after a snow storm left them stranded at an ikea site in denmark, customers and employees held a sleepover, settling down in display beds and dining in the canteen until they could get home. a woman who murdered her boyfriend�*s six—year—old son has been jailed for life. arthur labinjo—hughes was starved and beaten by emma tustin, who has been told she will serve at least 29 years in prison. arthur�*s father, thomas hughes, has been jailed for 21 years for manslaughter. the judge at coventry crown court said the boy led a lonely and solitary life and their actions were spiteful, dehumanising and sadistic. our correspondent helena wilkinson was at court and told us more details. and just a warning, some of what you�*ll hear from helena you may find distressing. the judge today, when he sentenced tustin and hughes, and important to point out tustin was brought to the court here, however she refused to come to the courtroom to be sentenced. she remained in the cells but the judge continued as if she was in the courtroom when he sentenced the pair today. the judge said the case was one of the most distressing and disturbing that he had ever dealt with. he said neither defendant had shown any remorse for their behaviour and that their behaviour was spiteful and sadistic. he also said one of the most troubling aspects of this case was that tustin�*s own two children he said lived a perfectly happy life in that house just yards from where arthur was subjected to unthinkable abuse. he said to tustin that she was a manipulative women, and as you say today he has sentenced her to life in prison with a minimum term of 29 years. he sentenced hughes, arthur�*s father, to 21 years in prison. as you say, the most harrowing case and jurors here during the two—month trial had to hear and listen to the most difficult details about what happened to six—year—old arthur and the cruelty, the unimaginable cruelty that was inflicted on him by both hughes and tustin. he was left dehydrated and starved. he was force—fed salt—laced meals and also left in the lounge to sleep on the floor without a mattress, the jury was shown cctv of six—year—old arthur in the lounge in the days and on the morning before he was murdered by tustin and he appeared to have a limp, he looked incredibly weak, he was crying and he was struggling to lift up a duvet. the court also heard today some victim personal statements, an opportunity for family members to tell those who have committed the crimes about the impact they have had on them. we heard from arthur�*s paternal grandmotherjoanne hughes, who said today in court that arthur was happy, wasjoyous, was exuberant, and that his death had turned their life into perpetual grey. it also emerged during the trial that arthur had been seen by social workers two months before he was died. it wasjoanne hughes, his paternal grandmother, who spotted a bruise on arthur but the trial heard that it was concluded by the social workers that there were no safeguarding concerns, but there is an independent review now under way which will be talking to all of the authorities and those who may have come into contact with arthur to see if there were opportunities missed. but unimaginable cruelty that was inflicted by hughes and tustin on a six—year—old defenceless little boy and they have been sentenced — tustin to life with a minimum term of 29 years and hughes, arthur�*s father who was convicted of manslaughter, he has been sentenced today to 21 years. helen westerman — the head of nspcc local campaigns — gave me her reaction to today�*s verdicts. i think we are all still struggling to come to terms with what arthur endured before he was killed by tustin and hughes and their sentencing marks the end of the first stage in achieving some sort of justice for arthur. that child safeguarding approach review must leave no stone unturned in establishing what took place before arthur died and whether more could have been done to protect and ultimately save him. but it also needs to inform a wider discussion of how we prevent these appalling cases of child cruelty from ever happening again. of course we hear that sentiment every time these tragic cases unfold and yet they recur. what is the wider problem with preventing this sort of behaviour, given if social services and the police are alerted by family members in any case, why is the family, why is any child still vulnerable? in this situation we will have to wait to the serious case review and the safeguarding practice review in relation to arthur, but more widely, it is very challenging for those working in local authorities. this happened at the beginning of the pandemic, perhaps when different working practices were in place, that is no excuse but this inquiry will really look at what was missed if anything in relation to arthur. we certainly heard at the nspcc during the first year of the lockdown, we had an increase in a number of contacts to the nspcc, 23%, from members of the public concerned about child welfare. people are coming forward and talking about this and that needs to be actioned. when it is not actioned, what is the reason? is it lack of will or organisation, lack of resources, lack of expertise, what are the actual reasons for failure, repeat failure by these organisations? there can be a number of different reasons and each serious case review will outline what has happened, there could be a lack of communication, we also know front line social workers are extremely stretched, so for this inquiry we will find out what happened and if anything was missed in the case of arthur. is the training of social workers where it needs to he, do they know, is there expertise in looking out for the signs when children, people might be covering up this sort of action? i think social workers obviously are trained in dealing with this sort of situation, not so extreme, but day in, day out, and this inquiry will really unpick what happened, whether anything was missed and what could have been done differently to potentially save arthur. in the last few minutes we�*ve had the latest coronavirus figures for the uk, published by the department of health. 50,584 new covid—19 cases were reported on friday compared with 53,000 945 a day earlier, there have also been 143 new covid—19 deaths on friday compared with 141 yesterday. broadly static number of deaths, but still obviously adding up to a great number of people losing their lives linked to covid. yorkshire county cricket club has announced a series of departures, as it continues to deal with racism allegations made by former player azeem rafiq. director of cricket martyn moxon and coach andrew gale have now left the club, along with all members of the coaching team and the backroom medical team. club chair lord patel said difficult decisions were required to build a progressive and inclusive culture. our sports reporter jo currie told me more about these latest departures. we are having a few technical issues as you might have detected. if we can go back to do that we absolutely will, apologies for that. the metropolitan police says it is "deeply sorry" that so many people faced "unacceptable scenes of disorder" at wembley stadium before the euro 2020 final injuly. an independent review said it was a source of "national shame" that around 2000 people without tickets managed to get into the stadium. it also criticised police for deploying officers too late. the author of the report, baroness casey, said people almost lost their lives. i think what happened on euros sunday injuly was a very near miss and that would be a significant loss of life or injury is probably on a scale that sadly we saw at hillsborough. i think the benefit of it being a near miss is actually that we can learn from it to make sure it never happens again. i think loads of people are excited about the final, the country was in a fantastically excited atmosphere and i think everybody thought we had just lost a game, and we haven�*t won the tournament, but actually we had literally had people almost losing their lives, being crushed in a football stadium. i think it is too close and we cannot allow that to happen again and we must sort it out. commander rachel williams from the met police said lessons would be learned. through hindsight and baroness casey�*s analysis, it�*s clear that the events before the match overshadowed the anticipated incident following the penalty shoot out. whilst we had police presence in wembley across the day, we accept that the bulk of this was not present early enough to prevent scenes of disorder. it is a matter of deep regret that policing and all of those involved in the planning for the euro 2020 final did not foresee events before the match outside wembley. joining me now is tony taylor, who is the chair at level playing field which is a charity which promotes positive, inclusive experience for disabled sports fans. they contributed to the review into the disorder. thanks forjoining us. having seen the review what is your reaction to it? j the review what

have gone into is pleasing and i think it bodes well for the safety of future events, but i think it reallyjust goes to emphasise what a near catastrophic day it was back on the 11th ofjuly. the issue i think we have about particularly in terms of the intelligence before the game was there had been a breach at old trafford in may when fans use the disabled access entrances to get in. so i am not convinced at all but this was just a bunch of disorganised hooligans writing a stadium. i think there was a lot more organisation about it. that worries me that the intelligence wasn�*t sufficient

steward going to assist and it turned outjust before they had got into the stadium but it wasn�*t, it was just somebody trying to use the child to get into the disabled viewing area. can you imagine

test events slowly increasing the attendances at matches, but i think there was at the time a genuine fear about going because of covid. i think after the events at wembley there is a distinct concern amongst particularly disabled and vulnerable people but unless security can be guaranteed it might be betterjust to give it a bit of time to see how things go, which i think is where if we have any positives to come out of this review, it certainly is the fact that we will be looking very seriously and we also think is an organisation will be working closely with the government and with the football authorities to make sure this sort of event never happens again and that we get the right sort of security at the big sporting events. it is notjust football, it is old major events we really

army being deployed to help. 130 troops have been sent to the grampian region of northern scotland, and around 100 to north—east england. durham county council says that as of last night between four and five thousand properties in the county were still cut off, and a �*major incident�* has been declared. northumberland county council has also declared a major incident. luxmy gopal reports from butterknowle in county durham. warm shelter and hot meals, basics provided by volunteers offering a lifeline to those without power in butterknowle in county durham where a major incident has been declared, with around 100 army personnel being sent to help. tommy, a volunteer coordinator, has been out visiting people in the community, including 92—year—old cecil. joanne is a nurse and lives in harbottle in northumberland. she still has no power, no water and no internet. i am sleeping in here, which is not ideal, eating what i can in here, boiling pans of water on the log burner. you can only take so much. do you know what? i burst into tears, i am not ashamed to say. joanne is relying on a nearby community centre, along with her neighbour anne. i think we have just been left out and forgotten about. i am more worried about the emergency services. where we are, there is no signal and no internet, how, if somebody needed an ambulance, would they get hold of it? in aberdeenshire, the military has been already helping out after tthe council put out an urgent request. around 4000 homes are being visited to offer support. the infrastructure is pretty fragile, the weather has not helped, high winds that came yesterday have further weakened some places. we are hoping it gives them that reassurance that somebody is looking out for them. despite this help, numbers of residents are still struggling, without power for a week. they must know when they are going to reconnect my house. instead of telling me every day that it will only be hours, i could have planned for the long haul, not the short haul. the problem, as from saturday, all your camping equipment, glasses, coal, everything has been in short demand. many people are still left without power or any certainty about when it will return. we have people on the ground and working with the local authorities and local resilience forums to support those customers, we are making proactive calls out to vulnerable customers, people that have been in touch with us that we know they are in vulnerable situations. some have been told it could be december the 8th, 12 days after the power first went out. our correspondent luxmy gopal is in butterknowle, in county durham. catching up, we can see lots of activity behind you. absolutely. this is but _ activity behind you. absolutely. this is but no _

behind you. absolutely. this is but no village hall and it| this is but no village hall and it like many other properties had its power outage happened when the storm happened but it initially used a generator to keep the power going and in the past few days their power came back on which is how they�*re able to get the volunteer effort up and running and to provide hot meals and running and to provide hot meals and a warm place for people to come, but of course many other homes are still waiting for their power to come around 200 homes in the villages around here are entering their second week without power. for them somewhere like this is vital as a place to come full stop as i mentioned in my report, durham county council declared a major incident which meant military personnel were drafted in to help out and there are around 100 army personnel working about 40 minutes from here to try to help carry out work like making calls on vulnerable people and northumberland county council has been the latest to declare a major incident. the authorities there say they are really concerned, extremely concerned for the welfare of their customers. of concerned for the welfare of their customers. ijam today did announce a review into the way the networks have responded to this. what they have responded to this. what they have agreed is there will be a removal of the cap on the compensation people can get. it was initially meant to be £700 per customer but now customers could get up customer but now customers could get up to £140 for each day they are without power as compensation. for the people we have spoken to today what matters to them is having somewhere warm to come. when we were here this morning the whole was busy with people, families, children, vulnerable people coming into get a hot breakfast. the work continues for the volunteers because they too have been busy, the whole time the power has been off they have been here working really hard, tirelessly to provide hot meals. they talked about how much of a difference it has made to people with some families being in tears with the emotion of it all because as well as providing meals with them here they are also going out to the local community to provide meals to people who can�*t leave their homes or have mobility issues, so really vital work going on and notjust here but in other parts of the country affected as well. we heard a resident in northumberland county council area who said her local council was working to try and get her a camp council was working to try and get hera campfire council was working to try and get her a camp fire stove to be able to heat things up. here in durham county council as well they said the council is sending out food trucks to provide hot meals to people and they said that northern powergrid has also been providing hot food. you can see it is really it is a community effort to provide the sort of help and it has made a massive difference to the people who have come here because it is notjust the heat and the warmth but somewhere they can speak to other people in they can speak to other people in the same position because what i have said is the uncertainty, they have said is the uncertainty, they have been told the power will come back on tomorrow or the next day, and then when it comes to it it has not come back on. some people have said they have been told it would come on again until the 8th of december. a really on certain time for them and it is places like this that can help provide some solace in a really difficult situation. let�*s a really difficult situation. let's ho -e so. a really difficult situation. let's hope so. thank _ a really difficult situation. let's hope so. thank you. _ the founder of

relatively new. but it�*s thought almost $2.5 billion were spent on nfts in the first six months of this year. christie�*s auction house took in $69 million in march when it sold a non—fungible token of a collage of thousands of pieces of digital art by the artist beeple. and at the start of the year, the nft of an animated image of a flying cat called nyan cat sold for about $590,000. meanwhile $5.4 million was paid injune for an nft of sir tim berners lee�*s original source code of the world wide web. the founder of wikipedia jimmy walesjoins me now. i know you have got covid, are you 0k?

thank you forjoining us. of all the places to get stuck during a snow blizzard, an ikea furniture store is probably not the worst. its showroom in the danish city of aalborg in northernjutland was turned into a vast bedroom after several customers and about two dozen employees were stranded by a snowstorm and spent the night sleeping in the display beds. so ikea offered up its scandinavian hospitality with the ultimate sleepover and some even got to pick their own bed. after their slumber, they dined in the store�*s canteen on what else but an ikea breakfast of cinnamon rolls and coffee? translation: i took the one that looked the best, - but i have no idea what kind of bed it is. i just took the one that looked really good. translation: hasn't it always been a dream to have - ikea all to yourself? i think it's cool. translation: iwanted to try a hard mattress, l because what i have at home is soft, and i was able to test the whole - range here and check if i needed i to change my mattress at any time. to to change my mattress at any time. forgive us for a few short pauses with our vts because we are having a few technical problems. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with stav. the temperatures really have been flip flopping this week, it�*s been very cold recently. now we�*re in a slightly milder air mass, with it, though, a lot more cloud around today and even some spots of rain, particularly later on in the day. but it is set to turn colderjust in time for the weekend. pressure chart looks pretty messy. lots of weather fronts on there that will bring some rain later on. you can see the mild air mass across southern areas. blue colours will start to invade the northwest as we end the day. that rain clears away from southern britain during the overnight period. and then the colder air mass starts to plunge southwards with plenty of blustery showers, these turning increasingly wintry, particularly over northern hills. so it will be turning colder through the course of the night, particularly in northern areas. and you can see why, this area of low pressure into saturday starts to push on in towards the north sea, to open the floodgates for this cold arctic air, and it�*ll be quite strong as well. so these showers will be frequent and heavy at times, particularly on saturday, with a wintry element to them. perhaps a bit more in the way of sunshine around on sunday. sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. wigan manager leam richardson has called for more people in football — including fans — to undergo cpr training like he did, after one of his players suffered a cardiac arrest. striker charlie wyke collapased during a practice session last month and says richardson saved his life by beginning the resuscitation process before the doctor arrived. speaking today richardson says he hopes what happened inspires others to get the training he had. just to echo charlie�*s statement, it is important that we make it at the forefront of our minds, that the training is out there, and we make everybody, as many people are aware as possible, notjust the players and the staff at the many thousands of fans who come and watch football on a regular basis. we have had a couple of instances within the stands and if you are the person next to you, or a couple of seats behind, has got the knowledge to save somebody�*s life. manchester united�*s interim boss ralf rangnick says he could stay on as manager beyond his initial six months in charge. at his first press conference since taking over at old trafford, rangnick�*s also been asked about how he thinks cristiano ronaldo will adapt to his approach to playing. you always have to adapt your style of football to the players you have available, not vice versa, and having seen cristiano yesterday in the second half, i mean, at the age of 36, amazing, top professional. at his age, i have never seen a player who is still that physically fit. he is still a player who can easily make the difference. next to germany where rising coronavirus infection rates in bavaria mean that bayern munich�*s champions league game against barcelona next week will be played behind closed doors at the allianz arena on wednesday night. bayern have already qualified for the knockout stages as group winners, with barca and benfica battling it out for the second spot in the last 16. the quarter—finals are underway at snooker�*s uk championship in york. later on barry hawkins will play the world number 102 and fellow englishman andy hicks, and another english playerjack lisowski faces china�*s zhao xintong. but right now seven time champion ronnie o sullivan is in action against fellow englishman and 5th seed kyren wilson. it�*s a repeat of last year�*s world championship final — which o�*sullivan won. "the rocket" has his work cut out, though, wilson currently leading by 5—4, so just one fram away from winning. on the other table belgium�*s luca brecel is also on the verge of victory, he�*s 5—1 up against anthony mcgill of scotland. cricket now, and there�*s mixed news for england ahead of the ashes which start next week in australia. importantly, all—rounder ben stokes looks in decent form — hitting 42 in his first game for more four months. it was just an intra squad warm—up game but stokes took two wickets and then hit six fours in 56 balls before retiring. not so good with the other batters — captain joe root and jonny bairstow falling for first ball ducks and hameed and malan only making single figures in the first innings. england�*s preparations have been severely hampered by rain but veteran ashes bowler stuart broad says it�*s no bad thing. it�*s been a great bonus for us to get these overs in here. i must admit, on thursday afternoon when the rain was still pouring down i thought we might struggle for some overs, but even just getting one day for us and some miles in the legs and the batsmen spending time in the middle, it is priceless, really. it�*s the inaugral saudi arabian grand prix this weekend and the drivers have never driven the street track in jeddah before. just eight points separate championship leader max verstappen and lewis hamilton going into the penultimate race of the season and hamilton just edged verstappen in first practice earlier. hamilton�*s been critical of saudi arabia hosting the race, saying he�*s not comfortable there because of the country�*s human rights record. he�*s chosen to wear his rainbow helmet in support of lgbtq+ rights. second practice starts just before 5pm. you can follow that on the bbc sport website. that�*s all the sport for now. the welsh government has confirmed that a case of the omicron variant of covid has been found in wales. it has been located in the cardiff and vale university health board area, and is linked to international travel. the welsh government says it is prepared to "respond rapidly" to the emerging variant, and actions are being taken to slow the spread. for the latest here�*s our wales correspondent, tomos morgan. it has been found in cardiff, linked to international travel, and the welsh government say they are prepared to respond rapidly to any variants of concern, and in terms of public health action, it is being taken to slow any spread. we heard from public health wales and they say they do not believe there�*s any evidence of any wider community transmission as of yet and at the moment the delta variant continues to be the dominant strain of coronavirus in wales as it stands. i�*ve been speaking to welsh government officials and they have said at the moment things are going well when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic, hospitalisation rates and critical care admissions have decreased here recently. the majority of people who are in hospital are those who are not vaccinated which shows that the vaccine is working but nevertheless there is concern about this new strain because we don�*t know so much about it, apart from the fact we are beginning to believe it is more transmissible. so no doubt there will be concerns now in wales and it will be interesting to see how public health wales and the welsh government responds if there are more cases of this strain as time goes on. we know the different regions have had different regulations but what is your sense there about how they might respond on masks and travel and socialising and all the rest of it, especially in this very busy christmas run—up? mark drakeford, the first minister, here in wales, he has been more conservative when it has come to easing restrictions across wales. he�*s been praised by some but not by others, for doing that. i think he has also said, on several occasions, that if it came to it, if it was needed, he would be prepared to put restrictions back in place, and it would be a top—down approach, the opposite to how we ease them. in other words, the first thing to be brought back in would be limiting meeting draw indoors in homes, and then may be looking at things like rules of six in social gatherings although we are a way off that because the general situation is a better picture now but of course with the new variant and the concerns of the wider health community about that, that may change, but the one thing mark drakeford has said, differently to borisjohnson, he is prepared to bring in restrictions if it needs to be. british scientists studying seven covid—19 vaccines have found that pfizer and moderna are the most effective to use as boosterjabs. it�*s the first study of how well boosters work, and the researchers found promising signs that a third jab also protects against illness and death from the new omicron variant. our health correspondent dominic hughes has the details. amid the uncertainty around the omicron variant, some good news. further confirmation the booster jabs being used in the uk are safe and effective. a study involving nearly 3,000 adults saw boosters given about three months after second doses of astrazeneca or pfizer. seven vaccines were studied in all, but the two used for boosters in the uk, pfizer and moderna, performed the best. we saw very encouraging results from all the vaccines we tested, in terms of the magnitude of the booster antibodies but also in terms of how the body remembers the vaccine and then is able to respond in future, the long—term memory. boosters can cut the risk of infection by more than 93%. the plan is to offer them to all adults aged over 18 in the uk before the end of january, and it will usually either be the pfizer or moderna jab, while scientists find out more about the omicron variant. much of that work is taking place in south africa, where omicron is driving a rapid growth in infection rates. very early evidence suggests there may be a higher risk of reinfection from omicron compared with the alpha, beta or delta variants but it is hard to say yet whether it will lead to more hospitalisations or deaths. at the moment, we are not seeing very high rates in terms of transmission, but it is early days yet. what is important is to continue to observe and monitor, and hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will have a much better picture. the emergence of the omicron variant has prompted big changes to the uk�*s vaccination programme. as well as offering boosters to more people, the time between second dose and booster has been slashed from six to three months, so the encouraging news on how effective they are is welcome. the data on the boosters is fantastic because it is suggesting that if you have had your first and second shot, followed by the booster, you have got supercharged immunity, and this will help us to at least deal with some of the effects of omicron when it really takes off here. there have been some problems — delays in changing the legal framework to accommodate the new plans have seen some people turned away from walk—in clinics or unable to book appointments. now millions of people are being urged to wait to be called for their jab rather than try and contact the nhs. little wonder that health officials describe the uk�*s vaccine roll—out programme as the greatest logistical exercise the health service has faced since the war. dominic hughes, bbc news. the conservatives have won the old bexley and sidcup by—election — holding on to the stronghold in south—east london with a much reduced majority. the contest was triggered by the death of the former ministerjames brokenshire, who died of lung cancer at the age of 53. a local tory councillor, louie french, succeeds him — as our political correspondent lone wells, reports. wrapped up warm to deliver ballot boxes. turnout was expected to be low in this cold december by—election, and only 34% of voters turned out. it meant the tories�* majority was cut from 19,000 to about 4,500. but their candidate, louie french, still got more than half the vote, although there was a 10% swing to labour. and reform uk, formerly the brexit party, came third. 11,189. the result was not surprising in this safe tory seat, even if the opposition had hoped recent negative headlines about so—called sleaze could chip away at their strong majority. people look at the westminster issues, they see a number of issues and allegations being thrown around at different parties, you know? it wasn't something that was coming to me, people know i'm not involved. i haven't been in westminster, you know? people have said, "louie, we need you to get in and deliver on these priorities," and that's what i'm fully committed to doing. labour are encouraged by this result, with their candidate, daniel francis, arguing a swing like that could translate into future gains for them elsewhere. well, it�*s been an incredibly good result tonight for labour here. we�*ve had a swing of over 10%. if that swing was replicated across the country, we would be making significant gains from the conservatives and on a path back to government. but tory party chairman oliver dowden says a solid hold midway through an election term, when the government might expect a knock, is a good result for them. obviously, it's very difficult for governing parties to do well in midterm by—elections, but we secured over 50% of the vote, and i think that was thanks to a good campaign run by the local candidate. tory cheer here in bexley, but in north shropshire, nerves are growing for the by—election there in two weeks�* time, with parties feeling there is a lot more to play for. lone wells, bbc news. fraudsters have stolen billions of pounds by abusing the government�*s bounce—back loan scheme — that�*s the initiative that was designed to help small businesses survive during the covid pandemic. according to a new report from the national audit office, more than one in ten of the loans may have been fraudulent, costing the taxpayer almost £5 billion. the report says that measures put in place to stop fraud were implemented too slowly. our correspondent, angus crawford, reports. a hard stop. police arrest a drug dealer, a member of a manchester gang that used a front business to hide their crimes. and this is it. from a couple of portakabins, they planned to take over the local cocaine market. but what�*s really extraordinary is they managed to get a £25,000 bounce back loan to help their business through the pandemic. and they weren�*t the only ones. it�*s a bounce back loan application that�*s been approved for £50,000. last year, this undercover investigator showed us how criminals were setting up fake companies to exploit the system. it seems to be free money for the scammers. it�*s going to cost us billions. 4.9 billion, according to today�*s report. anti—fraud measures, it says, were implemented too slowly to be effective and are inadequate. well, today we announced a brand—new loan scheme for the smaller businesses... designed as a life—saver forsmall firms, more than £47 billion was handed out. but how much of that will legitimate firms ever pay back? it�*s going to be horrendous. it�*s a nightmare. i�*m worried. i�*ve asked the government to set up a helpline. mike runs an online support group for business owners who took out a loan, and now fear they may go bust. they�*ve now got the repayments starting. a lot of people simply have not bounced back, which was the whole idea of the scheme. as soon as they�*re due, it is going to be a tidal wave. it will be. there is no ifs, bunts or shunts about that. the nao says £17 billion may never be repaid. and 100,000 loans are already in arrears. i've had to contact my doctor about having some anti—depressants. i haven't been able to properly sleep for the last 20 months. £50,000 seemed like a life—saver for anne—marie and her printing firm. it now feels like a millstone. the bounce back loan is hanging there over our heads at the moment. you know, at the time, i guess, i had two choices. we either take on a loan and carry on and try to just ride through the storm, or we close the doors. but the storm isn�*t over? well, this is the thing. it'sjust about starting, i think. loans that kept hundreds of thousands of firms alive became a dead weight for others and a cash cow for criminals. angus crawford, bbc news. the death has been announced of the renowned stage actor sir antony sher. he was 72 and had been diagnosed with cancer. his death was announced by the royal shakespeare company. sir anthony was widely regarded as one of the country�*s finest contemporary classical actors, and had a long association with the rsc. david sillito looks back on his life. deformed, unfinished, sent before my time into this breathing world, scarce half made up. every now and again, a performance goes beyond mere good reviews to become the one against which all others are measured. which i must reach unto... antony sher�*s compelling richard iii in 1984 was just such a role. when they are gone, then i must count my gains. i think my biggest problem is being young and beautiful. it is my biggest problem because i have never been young and beautiful. a few months later, he was the drag queen arnold in torch song trilogy. oh, i�*ve been beautiful. both roles olivier award winning. but his story began with rejection by rada. they sent a letter saying, "we strongly recommend that you think of another career." at the time, that really puts you on the line and you really have to... it takes quite a lot of strength to work out whether they�*re right or not. as a child, he was shy, solitary. acting was seen as a way to bring him out of himself. he liked the idea of disguise, a mask for this gay, jewish, south african. on tv, he was the revolutionary howard kirk in the history man. but the plaudits didn�*t lead to film and tv stardom. his home was the theatre. my nose, sir, is enormous! he and the man who became his husband, the director greg doran. their great successes... hail! titus andronicus... othello... the moor already changes with my poison. lear... macbeth. he also painted. he was a successful novelist. but antony sher was at his best on stage, taking on those shakespearean greats... if i tell thee a lie, spit in my face and call me horse. ..in all their troubled, complex, compelling glory. sir antony sher who has died at the age of 72. the reviews are out — and the new film adaptation of the american musical west side story has been judged an "artistic triumph". the man responsible for bringing it to the screen is director steven spielberg. it�*s his first attempt at a movie musical. tom brook reports. west side story was given a big launch just a short distance from where the film is set on new york�*s upper west side in the 1950s. inspired by shakespeare�*s romeo and juliet, it is a love story that takes place amid warring teenage gangs. it�*s a landmark work, first made into a film in 1961. it�*s always interested steven spielberg, who has never directed a musical before. i think i wanted to direct a musicalfilm because i knew i couldn�*t sing and dance. it�*s a tremendous way of sort of throwing myself into a genre that physically i would never be part of, except to be able to tell a story in that idiom. # i like to be in america. # it's ok by me in america.# the 1961 film adaptation of the musical was a huge hit and it won ten oscars. it�*s a revered classic. the new film is seen as more intense. there is bloodshed, there's brutality and yet it manages to do a very tricky thing, which is, there are these incredibly realistic and powerful scenes, then it becomes operatic. it becomes musical theatre. the 1961 film was criticised for having many of the members of the puerto rican gang, the sharks, portrayed by white actors. we just wanted for this movie to get it right in the way that we wanted every single person who plays a puerto rican to be from the latin ex—community. and that was the mandate from the get—go. the launch of west side story in new york this week has been bittersweet for steven spielberg and his cast, because the film�*s lyricist, american musical theatre legend stephen sondheim, died at the age of 91 just prior to the film�*s big premiere. i showed him the film back in february of this year. and he loved it and could not wait until monday night. he wanted to see it with a big audience. and so, when we got the news on, i believe it was on saturday, that he had passed, it was devastating. it�*s still devastating. sondheim�*s talents, of course, live on for all to hear in the new film, which has been getting excellent reviews. it seems poised to become a big oscar contender. but musicals can be a challenge to sell at the box office. new york could do with west side story being a hit. its familiar songs could be a bit of a panacea for the city as it still struggles with anxieties of life in the covid—19 era. tom brook, bbc news, new york. it looks amazing. i can�*t wait to see that. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. is it isita is it a weekend for staying indoors? yes, that is a good idea. today was a brief mild spell with a lot of cloud around, but we turn tomorrow to something colder, and there will be sunshine around but also showers, thanks to low pressure nearby. area of rain pushing into the south—west at the moment and another one in towards western scotland thanks to these weather fronts, you towards western scotland thanks to these weatherfronts, you can towards western scotland thanks to these weather fronts, you can see these weather fronts, you can see the extent of the mild air, most of it in the south, but it will go away as the blue colours makes a return tonight, so these showers over scotland and northern ireland and into north—west england and wales turn increasingly wintry, maybe even down to lower levels, and a band of rain spreading across england and wales through the night. with the wind and a lot of cloud it won�*t be too cold but it will be a chilly night. this is the area of low pressure, dipping down into the north sea, strong north—westerly winds, cold air, feeding in plenty of showers, and snow to the hills. once we lose the early rain across the south—east, maybe some southern and eastern areas might stay dry and sunny altogether, but the showers, where you have those, it will feel pretty miserable, and the gusts will be higher and when you factor in the wind chill with these kind of temperatures it is going to feel colder than these values suggest. you could feel less than 5—9. it stays blustery over saturday night into sunday, and most of the showers by the end of saturday night will be confined to the eastern side of the country. it will be a cold night especially further west and temperatures could be down to freezing so a touch of frost and ice is possible to greet us on sunday. we are still very much in the cold air mass on sunday, the ridge of high pressure to the west, so that means it will be dry, if you are showers for the north, despite the very cold start — fewer showers for the north. further east it looks like there will be more cloud and some showery burst of rain but when you have the cloud and showers, still going to be pretty cold. temperatures 5—9. as we move into the start of next week it stays unsettled, further rain, and may be sleet and snow, potentially very windy weather by the time we reach tuesday and wednesday next week so stay tuned to the forecast. today at five — the couple who killed six—year—old arthur labinyo—hughes have been jailed. arthur�*s father faces 21 years in prison — his girlfriend life in prison, with a minimum term of 29 years. the judge said the couple�*s actions were �*spiteful and sadistic,�* and that arthur was subjected to the �*most unimaginable suffering�*. child preotection agencies say lessons must be learned. i think were also struggling to come to terms with what author endured. the sentencing marks the end in achieving with just some sort of justice. the euro 2020 final is branded a day of �*national shame�* — after two thousand "ticketless, drunken thugs" got into wembley stadium.
