Thousands of homes are still without power for a second weekend, in the wake of storm arwen. As he comes home to win the first Saudi Arabian grand prix. Lewis hamilton wins the first ever Saudi Arabian grand prix, in one of the most dramatic formula 1 races in years. Good evening. The latest changes for travellers arriving in the uk have been heavily criticised by the travel industry, who warn that firms will be devastated. Under the changes, passengers will be required to show proof of a negative pcr or lateral flow test, taken no earlier than 48 hours before departing for the uk. The changes come into effect at 4 oclock on tuesday morning. Downing street says the measures are necessary because of the rise in cases of the new variant of coronavirus. The latest country to be added to the Travel Red List is nigeria. From tomorrow, travellers to the uk from nigeria will have to quarantine in a hotel for ten days. Our Business Correspondent Katie Prescott reports. Happy memories of holidays gone by. Denis and his partner were looking forward to many more smiling pictures, but because of the changes to travel rules, hes thinking of cancelling their Upcoming Trip to tenerife. When they announced that wed have to have a pcr test on the way back and wait, lets say, two days, i sort of thought, ok, thats manageable, but now they want you to do another one 48 hours before you return from holiday. And its just the extra cost. And to be honest with you, a lot of it is the uncertainty as well. Do you go on holiday and something changes dramatically again . And its those sorts of concerns that are worrying the travel industry. We believe that this will be a significant setback for demand this winter, real impacts on christmas. I think well see people now cancelling, or postponing, travel plans. And for a sector that hasnt had any revenue for 18 months give or take a few months over the summer period its really significant indeed. The airlines do not make money in the winter, and so, weve got a really difficult stretch ahead of us now. At Londons Heathrow airport this morning, travellers were pragmatic about the new Testing Requirements. Yeah, that obviously definitely adds some inconvenience to myjourney, but i totally understand it. I used to do that anyway, just to come back to be safe, so i think its, you know, its a good way to go about it. If it means we avoid a lockdown, definitely worth doing a test. Literally, you know, no skin off anyones back to just get tested. Maybe if we were a bigger family, it would have been more of a concern but, right now, its more of a cost versus safety thing. Many of the people travelling from London St Pancras to europe today will have to take a test when they come home. The big question, though, is how much these changes will stop people travelling, especially over the Christmas Period a time, of course, when people do tend to move around to see their friends and family because, perhaps, of the uncertainty involved and the cost. The deputy Prime Minister says its better to be safe than sorry. I think, though, that the worst thing would be to then lurch, having not taken incremental steps that can make a difference, even if its only at the margins. I think we want to make sure we take those steps earlier, precisely to avoid the bigger disruption to travel and the economy. As always, these decisions tread a fine line between protecting the economy and protecting public health. The new Testing Requirements and the red list will be reviewed in three weeks time, on the 20th of december. Katie prescott, bbc news. The Uk Health Security Agency has confirmed 86 additional confirmed cases of the omicron variant of coronavirus, bringing the total in the uk to 246. Our Health Correspondent Katharine Da Costa Reports on the spread of the variant here and worldwide. Scientists around the world are working quickly to gather evidence about the new omicron variant. Is it more infectious . Can it dodge immunity . Does it cause more serious illness . The first pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together. Early data from south africa where omicrons now dominant suggests its spreading more rapidly than previous waves, and its more likely to re infect people whove already had covid. Scientists say most cases have been mild so far and there may be early signs vaccines are keeping people out of hospital. A large proportion of people that have been admitted have not been vaccinated, so its the same story as what we have known before from vaccines, it seems. And the story is that vaccines protect against severe disease and death and, therefore, vaccines are still absolutely critical. So far, small numbers of the omicron variant have been confirmed in around 40 countries. In the uk, there are just under 250 confirmed cases, but not all are linked to travel, which suggests it might be starting to spread in communities. To get ahead of a potential new wave of infections, the governments made it a National Mission to offer boosters to all adults, in order to maximise our protection. About half of british labs are able to detect suspected omicron cases from pcr tests. They then need to be sent off for genomic sequencing, to know for sure. The uk sequences about 20 of positive cases, so omicron could be spreading more quickly than we think. The omicron variant is highly transmissible. It appears to be spreading very rapidly in south africa, and the early signs are that its spreading pretty rapidly in the uk too. If those trends continue, then over the course of the coming weeks and months, omicron could even come to replace delta entirely right around the world. Scientists think well know within days how well antibodies are able to control or neutralise omicron in the lab. Thats our first line of defence against infection. But it may take several weeks before we have a clear picture ofjust how effective vaccines and treatments are at preventing severe disease, and how much of a threat omicron may pose to Health Services around the world. Katharine da costa, bbc news. The latest official figures on the pandemic in the uk show there were 43,992 new infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period. On average, 46,006 cases were reported per day in the last week. There were 54 deaths, thats of people who died within 28 days of a positive test, which means the average number of deaths over the past seven days was 119. And more than 20 Million People have received their boosterjab. A major review has been announced of the way various agencies handled the case of Arthur Labinjo hughes the six year old who was tortured and killed by his father and step mother two months after social workers had found no Safeguarding Concerns in the home.

Earlier today, hundreds of people took part in a vigil outside arthurs home in solihull, as our correspondent Sarah Campbell reports.

The hope that Lessons Learned may save others. Sarah campbell, bbc news. At least 14 people have died, and dozens more have been injured, after a volcano erupted on the indonesian island ofjava.

Rescuers are working to find and move people who have been stranded or trapped by the disaster. A new strategy to tackle Drug Addiction in england and wales will see more offenders placed in rehab programmes. There will also be measures targetting drug gangs. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford has the story and is with me. What can we say about this strategy . Well, this is another attempt to tackle one of those really hard to fix issues faced by governments. The drugs strategy published tomorrow has a ten year timeline so no one sees any clear sign of successes this side of an election. In truth, there are not many successes anywhere in the world you can point to and copied. It is not easy. This is a Drug Strategy for england and wales, it has been devolved in Northern Ireland and scotland, and in scotland, the death rate from drugs issues is one of the highest anywhere in the world. At the heart of the strategy will be an attempt to get a 300,000 or so people addicted to heroin and Crack Cocaine into treatment in an attempt to improve their lives. And also, to reduce the very high levels of shoplifting, burglary and robbery they are thought to be responsible for. And the part of its Levelling Up Programme because, of course, many of the most deprived areas of england and wales also have the highest levels of drug related crime. There will of course be another push to try and deal with the so called County Lines Gangs which take drugs into smaller towns and bring with them urban style violence and exploitation of vulnerable people. And in his interview with the sun on sunday today, borisjohnson the Prime Minister talked about the need to tackle the demand for drugs, particularly the demand from so called lifestyle uses of drugs, people who take drugs at weekends, nightclubs, parties and dinner parties. One of the things he floated was taking away their passports and driving licences, which of course would deal with other parts of their lifestyle. Daniel, many thanks for the details. Daniel, many thanks for the details. Daniel sandford, our Home Affairs Correspondent. Pope francis has criticised what hes described as the narrow Self Interest of European Countries and denounced those who use migrants for political propaganda. The pope was speaking on a visit to a refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos, where he warned the treatment of migrants in the mediterranean could lead to the shipwreck of civilisation. From lesbos, our special correspondent fergal keane reports. I love you they embrace the man and the message. Because at this moment, he is their most passionate advocate. Pope francis arrives at a time of renewed political crisis in europe over the issue of migration. Since his last visit, fences have gone up, thereve been pushbacks of migrants on land and at sea, and globally, theres no coherent political vision to tackle the problems of poverty and war that are driving people from their homes in their thousands. The pope spoke to an audience largely made up of refugees, but aimed his frustration at political leaders. Translation lets stop ignoring reality, stop constantly shifting responsibility, stop passing off the issue of migration to others, as if it mattered to no one and was only a pointless burden to be shouldered by someone else. It was not time to build walls, he said, or let the sea become a cemetery for children. Translation let us not hastily turn away from the shocking pictures of their tiny bodies lying lifeless on the beaches. The pope was addressing the legacy of migrant lives lost on the journey to europe. Like the 87 year old from afghanistan who died on lesbos. And others here, names unknown. Some, victims of drowning. Theres sympathy on lesbos for the dead and many here helped when refugees first landed. But this farmer and local politician is critical of pope francis. Translation he promised many things for our island, l none of which happened. This island has suffered greatly from migration. Tourism was hit hard. He should have helped and advocated for tourists to visit this island. The pope did refer to the struggles faced by local people on the eus borders, but it was here, among the thousands waiting to enter europe, that his words had most force. I have no money, i have a very big problem, no passport. Where are you going . What do you want . Ijust want to be free. Ijust want to be freedom. I dont want any things, just freedom. Theres unlikely to be a radical political shift on migration, but the pope has offered a robust defence of refugees in a debate so often framed in fearful terms. Fergal keane, bbc news, lesbos. Bob dole, one of the most prominent us politicians of the past half century, has died at the age of 98. Mr dole overcame severe injuries in the Second World War and went on to lead the republicans in the us senate. He was 73 when he stood unsuccessfully for the presidency against bill clinton in 1996. Earlier this year, it was announced that he was being treated for lung cancer. Thousands of homes are still without power for a second weekend in the wake of storm arwen, which swept across parts of the uk and tore down electricity lines. Homes in parts of Northern England are still waiting to be re connected to their energy supplies. Our correspondent peter harris reports from northumberland. In the nick of time, the pub has its power back. Last night, a heavy snowfall left villagers snowed in, but at least theyre now warm, after a week long ordeal.

Throughout the power cuts, the Pub At Ridsdale in northumberland had been a refuge to huddle together. The last Emergency Food Drops were arriving today, but being reconnected is a relief.

Nightmare. Total nightmare. If it wasnt for here, coming over here and that, it would be totally. Not everyone is so lucky. Across Northern England, thousands are still without power after nine days. No central heating, hot water, showers, nothing. Its grim for us, but im more worried about the elderly people. In parts of rural northumberland, there are freezing temperatures, but there was a more upbeat Progress Report from northern power today, who hope to restore power to all homes across the North East Of England by tuesday. There are still questions about the delays in reconnecting power supplies. Today, The Business Secretary was visiting county durham. We completely accept that this is totally unacceptable. Its wrong. Ive spoken very directly to the northern Power Grid Company and we will have a review. Well make sure that if they have failed to invest in infrastructure, there could well be enforcement action.

This is bbc news with martine croxall. Lets get more now on the death of the former us senator and republican president ial candidate bob dole whos died, aged 98. Our North America correspondent peter bowes told me more from los angeles. He was certainly a stalwart of the Republican Party and of American Politics over many decades. 35 years recommend representing the state of kansas, in the House Of Representatives and the senate. He was his partys leader there on two occasions. Especially during that crucial period in American Politics in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was president , and they worked closely together. Bob dole himself had president ial aspirations. He stood as the running mate in 1976 for gerald ford, and then some 20 years later was selected by the republicans to stand against bill clinton. That was not a Successful Campaign for bob dole, and he retired shortly after, but he remained a key figure in his party. He was fiscally conservative in terms of financial matters. He was very stalwart in terms of his beliefs. He was a stoic figure as well, especially as far as his own disabilities were concerned. Very badly injured in the Second World War. He was a key figure in getting the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act passed. Thats a law that safeguards people in the workplace with disabilities. He will be remembered for that. I think hell also be remembered for his personality. He had quite a great sense of humour and a wit about him, self deprecating at times, and he was recently awarded the congressional gold medal. At the ceremony he thanked those who had offered him kind words. He said they probably werent true, but they were nice. A decision to extend covid passes in wales to pubs and restaurants could made later this week. Welsh ministers are to consider whether to expand the scheme over the next week, with the next covid rules review due on friday. First minister Mark Drakeford has said a decision will be made at the last minute, because circumstances and knowledge about the new omicron variant were developing so fast. James williams reports. Queueing for a boosterjab on the llyn peninsular in gwynedd. A more speedy roll out of the top up third vaccine dose is the main line of defence against omicron. Only one case of the new variant has been detected in wales so far, but ministers are expecting many more over the coming weeks and, with still so many unknowns about omicron, how should ministers react at next weeks review of covid rules . Covid passes showing if somebody has been fully vaccinated or tested negative for covid in the past 48 hours are already required to gain entry to nightclubs, cinemas, theatres and big football and rugby matches. But, having raised the possibility a few weeks ago, is the Welsh Government now thinking of extending their use to pubs and restaurants . Had we been dealing with delta only, i dont think we would have extended it at the end of this three weeks. If we were to do it it would simply be to help those businesses to stay open. We havent made that decision, and we wont make that decision, right up until the day we have to, because circumstances and knowledge are developing so fast with the new variant, that you ought to wait to have the maximum amount of information you can. What do other big parties in the senedd think of the extension . We have been clear from the start that covid passes dont seem to present the additional benefits that the barrier puts in place for people to work through them, so focus on the vaccines, we know that the vaccines work. There are a range of mitigation measures that can be used, and this is one of them. We need to rely on the evidence and listen to what the experts say before bringing in any new regulations, but if they are needed, they are needed. Following an announcement by the uk government last night, confirmation today that people flying from abroad to wales will require a negative covid test before departure. Any further changes to the covid rules are set to be announced towards the end of the week. More than 50 houses in derby have been evacuated after a number of suspicious items were found by police.
