places that rely on it? more than 90 people have died after devastating tornadoes swept through the mid—west of america. horrendous scenes at the weekend and whilst our winds do not compare, it is a windy start to the week particularly northern scotland. wintle is lighter and with —— missed advocate become an issue. in sport, the farcical end to the fi season as versappen celebrates we reflect on the chaotic finish to the decider in the desert as hamilton misses out on a record eight title. it's monday, 13th december. every adult over the age of 18 in england is to be offered a third dose of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of this month in a major acceleration of the booster programme. the prime minister said the new target was necessary to combat a "tidal wave" of cases of the rapidly spreading omicron variant. but there are warnings this morning the booster roll—out could have an impact on non—covid nhs care. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. the countdown to the new year might look rather like this. queueing for a booster. the prime minister wants to massively accelerate the delivery of vaccine shots, because... i'm afraid we are now facing an emergency in our battle with the new variant omicron. and we must urgently reinforce our wall of vaccine protection to keep our friends and loved ones safe. here's a sense of the scale of what he's hoping to achieve. to offer everyone aged 18 and over a booster by the end of the month means giving i million doses a day, every day, until the end of the year. at the moment, around half a million doses are being given a day. to achieve this doubling, will come as a cost. will come at a cost. with other non—covid related health care being put off. this will require an extraordinary effort, and as we focus on boosters, and make this new target achievable, it will mean some other appointments will need to be postponed until the new year. but if we don't do this now, the wave of omicron will be so big that cancellations and disruptions like the loss of cancer appointments will be even greater next year. and behind this door, his conclusion was simple and stark. so, let's do it. let's get boosted now. get boosted now for yourself, for your friends and your family. get boosted now to protectjobs and livelihoods across this country. get boosted now to protect our nhs, our freedoms and our way of life. get boosted now. national addresses like this from a prime minister are pretty rare and they have two consequences. firstly, they grab attention. but secondly, they remove the opportunity for scrutiny and questions. is the plan realistic? will it mean more restrictions are coming? labour are, for now, at least, backing the government. this has got to be a big national effort, all of us have got a part to play. and it's crucial that, you know, despite people's anger and frustration with the prime minister, justifiable anger and frustration with the prime minister, we put that to one side in the efforts to get the vaccine booster roll—out and to make it a success. tomorrow, the prime minister will seek and secure parliamentary approval for the introduction of so—called plan b in england, the already announced step up of measures to try to reduce the spread of the virus. the question now is how soon there might be talk of a plan c. chris mason, bbc news. we can speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. that is a very important question. good morning. the prime minister facing a bit of criticism for choosing to announce the new plan in a televised statement with no opportunity to ask any questions. what more do we know about that and will there be questions today? good mornin: , it will there be questions today? good morning. it is _ will there be questions today? good morning, it is true _ will there be questions today? good morning, it is true that _ will there be questions today? good morning, it is true that if _ will there be questions today? (13mm morning, it is true that if you do a big televised address to the nation there is not a chance for anyone to ask you questions about the various other stories that are swelling when the government, but it is also true that if you want to get the message to millions of people who are tuning into the struck the results show to get them to get a booster, you cannot get a better —— directly results show. you cannot get a better way of doing it. the government is facing lots of other challenges this week. there will be a vote in parliament it's week on plan b measures which introduces covid passes for nightclubs and large events which is very controversial and you will see lots of conservative mps, borisjohnson�*s and colleagues, voting against the government. then there is a by—election in north shropshire this week after owen paterson resigned from that seat. there are also reports this morning that the inquiry into alleged parties and gatherings in downings and other government departments —— at downing street and other government departments last christmas could be published by the end of this week. that soon. as chris was saying, you are starting to hear a lot more scientists say that the threat from omicron is so large that we should be looking at other measures are other restrictions, on how we live our lives, ratherthan other restrictions, on how we live our lives, rather than just focusing on the basic campaign. —— booster campaign. those calls will start to get louder and there will be tension with mps who are not even in favour of the current measures being introduced so a very big week ahead. we will discuss some of those issues later on. we'll be joined by the health secretary at 7.30. extra support has been promised to speed up the vaccine drive in scotland, wales and northern ireland. like england, scotland is aiming to offer all adults a booster by the end of the year while wales has set a target for the end of januray. in northern ireland, people over the age of 30 are currently being offered third doses. with plans to step up the rollout. from today, people in england are advised to work from home if they can, in a bid to slow the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus. sorry! shall i, yes, sorry! the new guidance brings the country in line with scotland, wales and northern ireland. our business correspondent, caroline davies, has this report. dwindling numbers on the commute on friday and from today, many workers will stay at home after the advice in england changed again. you should work from home if you can. i know this will be hard for many people, but by reducing your contacts in the workplace, you will help slow transmission. in newmarket, some were resigned, others disappointed. if we have to, we will do and i can do myjob from home. i have been going into- the office one day a week. it'sjust nice to go- somewhere different, just have a bit of a change, get out of the house. - actually put on proper clothes! some worry that something is lost when people can't meet in real life. i just feel like there's a bit of a loss of that team working. we are a small team, there's only eight of us, and it's really easy these days just to turn on zoom or teams or whatever it might be to have a meeting. but you sort of lose a bit of granularity when you start heading down that route. in particular when it'sjust simple enough to turn around and ask somebody a question, now you have to jump on an hour zoom call. in the uk, england was an outlier. scotland, wales and northern ireland had already advised staff to continue working remotely wherever possible. just under 36% of workers in britain did some work from home in 2020, according to the office for national statistics. that had an impact on city centres, and even though many people are yet to go back to the office full—time, in the last week of november, seven in ten travelled to work at least once. in sheffield, this restaurant has already been affected by plan b. pretty much overnight, we lost about 100 covers with the announcement of plan b. we foresee more, including more covers and obviously not to mention the walk—in trade that we will miss over christmas and new year period. so really i think the hospitality industry, this is a really devastating blow. the question that's likely to be in many people's minds as they make their morning coffee and commute the few paces to their laptop today will be, how long will they be working from home for? caroline davies, bbc news. police searching for the missing nursing assistant, petra srncova, have found a body in a park in south—east london. the 32—year—old has been missing since late last month. formal identification has not yet taken place, but her family in the czech republic has been informed. more than £500 million of new funding has been announced by the governmment to help crack down on benefit fraud. the cash injection will go towards hiring hundreds of officials to check properties, bank accounts and wages. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. an early—morning raid of a suspected benefit fraudster in birmingham earlier month. police, can you come to the door? the person they are after is accused of being a member of a criminal gang that stole £4 million in fraudulent claims for universal credit. benefit officials say they are determined to recover as much money as they can, and there's a lot to reclaim. a record £81; billion was lost due to fraud and error last year. in response, the government is now going to spend £510 million tackling the problem. among other things, the money will be spent hiring almost 2000 fraud investigators. it is about developing the prevention techniques upfront. we've certainly learned a lot during the pandemic, but there are other elements at the moment where we are going through all of the claims that were made that we potentially tagged at the time as being fraudulent or where we didn't have evidence and we are going back over those. having a look at your statement, won't you, because you have had two claimants go in from your wages, haven't you? the pandemic led to benefit rules being relaxed while there were record numbers of claimants to be paid quickly. but criminal gangs exploited the system, stealing identities and making bogus claims. ministers hope this new investment will deter more scammers, and help them catch those who have already stolen taxpayers' money. michael buchanan, bbc news. a new �*king of the castle' has been crowned on i'm a celebrity get me out of here. let's take a look at the big moment. and the first—ever king of the castle is... danny! emmerdale actor danny miller emerged victorious after three weeks of challenges in north wales. he beat fellow finalists simon gregson and frankie bridge to the title. i still can't believe louise didn't make the final three. i i still can't believe louise didn't make the final three.— make the final three. i don't understand _ make the final three. i don't understand what _ make the final three. i don't understand what happened. | make the final three. i don't| understand what happened. i make the final three. i don't -

"omigawd" is the headline. the guardian also focuses on the prime minister's promise that it says would mean offering 1millionjabs a day. and we have an extra one, we weren't expecting! bbc news has

as new government guidance to work from home "if you can" comes into force in england. nina is in manchesterfor us this morning to get reaction to the new measures. i'm not sure whether you will get much work done there! i'm always working hard! this is in central manchester, this is a company that helps market social media companies. they have got this ball pull and slide, there is a rainforest area over there, to help workers relax when they need to take a bit of time out. they really get a lot from being in this creative and gregarious place. let's have a quick chat with stephan. when you compare working here from working from home how much of a difference as make? our work is based on the activity so we are always looking at what is going on in social and news and it is easier to bounce ideas in person wearers seem scheduled creativity works but it isn't as efficient. it gets shut down a lot easier in person. there will be people here and probably in your office as well because as of today, guidance changes, in england the advice is to that to work if you have to but to work from home if you can. scotland, wales and northern ireland already has his guidance. the whole of the uk is unified in this guidance. there is flexibility if you need to access equipment in the office, if there is a challenging environment at home, the advice is, do come in. and also employers are being asked to think about the mental health of their employees this time round. as it was widely reported, it was detrimental to lots of people to be at home over that sustained period through 2120 and over 2021. 70% of workers went into the office at least once a week in november and one in seven said they were working from home and travelling into the office together. is a lot

by firefighters in a building in east london. she was found at an address on sutton street in shadwell and was taken to hospital, but died shortly after. three others who reported feeling unwell remain in hospital. other residents in the block are now staying in hotels as a precaution. absolutely devastated, especially parents. really devastated. you know, you wake up in the morning, you don't expect a young child, the passing of a young child. and also now they have heard that the whole place has been evacuated and people, the police, fire officers and other specialists are working diligently to make sure we can get some answers. the czech foreign minister has said that a body found in south east london is that of a missing nursing assistant. officers were called to brunswick park in camberwell yesterday. the body hasn't been formally identified. petra petra srncova was last seen leaving work at evelina children's hospital, on the 28th of november. new rules have come into place from today, banning all privately owned e—scooters from transport for london services. customers carrying the devices will not be allowed to use any tubes, trains, buses or trams. it's due to safety concerns after recent fires on transport services. after 21 months out of service, the gatwick express is back in operation from today. the rail service between central london and gatwick airport was suspended in march last year, as the covid pandemic hit and passenger numbers tumbled. it's hoped its return will help the airport's recovery. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning — this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. high pressure dominates the weather as we head through much of the rest of the week across the capital, and it is set to stay dry or mostly dry, with perhaps just a few splits and spots of light, patchy rain, and drizzle falling at times. some thickness of the cloud — an awful lot of that around. and it does stay mild for this time of the year. another mild start to the morning, with some of our temperatures in double figures. otherwise, high single figures. it's quite grey out there, mist and mark, a light south—westerly wind. throughout the course of the day we will be keeping those layers of cloud, any brightness limited in nature. top temperatures of 12 to 13 celsius later this afternoon, 55 in fahrenheit. very mild for this time of the year, above average temperatures. overnight tonight there is a weather front sinking its way southward and eastward. as it bumps into the high pressure, any rain will fade away. there could be light, patchy rain, otherwise it is set to stay dry. a cooler night to follow, particularly for northern and western areas of the capital. slightly colder feeling air. there will be a slight drop in temperatures through the day tomorrow. again, it's looking dry. there could be brighter spells as we head through the afternoon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. just go half past six. coming up on breakfast this morning... the remarkable tale of two strangers brought together by one life—saving gift — and a trip to anfield. find out more just after eight. dancing their way into the strictly final — we'll be joined by tv presenter aj odudu and her professional dance partner kai widdrington. and it's the trophy they all want to get their hands on — but who'll be crowned the 2021 sports personality of the year? we'll reveal the nominees at half past eight. and we will also be discussing the situation with the end of the f1 season, which was incredibly dramatic. it went down to the final lap. what happened?! john can explain all. we will be talking to david coulthard and eddiejordan as well. the prime minister has issued a direct plea to gps and other nhs frontline workers, to make another "extraordinary effort" to help ramp up the coronavirus booster roll—out. in an address to the nation, borisjohnson announced plans to offer every eligible adult in england a third dose by the end of this month. let's get reaction from one of our regular gps who has been involved in the vaccination campaign from the start, dr nighat arif. good morning. lovely to speak to you. hope you have had a nice weekend. i don't know whether your weekend. i don't know whether your weekend

that eighth title, they will say they have been very selective in the way the rules have been applied, because there was a cross towards the end of the race which basically bunched up the field. the race directors working to get the race restarted as quickly as possible, to get that shoot out between the two of them, but it was the way in which the cars between verstappen and lewis hamilton at the time were allowed to come through, yet some of them warrant. in the way the safety car, which rose to straighten everything out, came in when it did. i know you get bored by the kind of mechanics

there has been a _ through that? absolutely. the thing is there has been a pleasure - through that? absolutely. the thing is there has been a pleasure to i through that? absolutely. the thing l is there has been a pleasure to make it more exciting. when does the sport become a show? it was exciting. it was thrilling. but this debate will rumble on. yeah. drama. a farcical finish to what has been one of the most thrilling f1 seasons of all time. max verstappen lifting the title for the first time despite two protests from mercedes, who've said they'll appeal the result in abu dhabi, as hamilton missed out on the chance to stand alone with eight formula one world titles. natalie pirks reports from abu dhabi. it was billed as the decider in the desert, and in the afternoon heat of abu dhabi fans were split firmly into two camps. hamilton supporters were confident he was about to leave an indelible mark on the sport. come on, lewis! there's no one else like lewis. if he beats max today, i and gets the eighth title, he will definitely be the greatest of all time — but hamilton was up against an orange wall. what would it mean to you to have a dutch world champion? tea rs! red bull had pole, but mercedes had the faster car. hamilton gets a decent start. a dream start, more like. but verstappen was hot on his tail, with a late lunge forcing hamilton wide. almost coming together! hamilton gained time. the stewards said this was fair. by lap 13 verstappen's soft tyres were struggling, leaving his red bull team—mate to try and hold hamilton up. this is really frustrating lewis hamilton. but then a virtual safety car allowed verstappen to sweep into the pits. and on fresh tyres he chased the gap. red bull knew it would be tough. we're going to need a miracle. or a huge controversy. another crash meant a safety car and yet more fresh tyres for the dutch man. but when the governing body ruled that some lapped cars would be allowed to overtake the safety car, it gave verstappen one last lap, one last shot. a lunge by verstappen, who takes the lead in the race! a controversial ending was always on the cards. both drivers were in tears for different reasons. max verstappen is champion! well, that was truly unbelievable. lewis hamilton has every reason to feel frustrated tonight, but red bull and verstappen absolutely nailed it. and he is the new world champion. it's unbelievable. i mean, throughout the whole race i kept fighting and then, of course, that opportunity in the last lap, it's insane. a big congratulations to max and to his team. in this last part of the season we gave it everything and we never gave up, and that's the most important thing. fans back home at silverstone were getting ready to celebrate, but were left disappointed. i'm shocked. i believe that win of lewis was stolen from him, and the championship shouldn't have been decided that way. i think it's meant to be lewis'. he's the cleaner driver, you can see he's the better driver. but no sooner had the champagne corks popped, than two protests were lodged from mercedes. unlike var in football, this took hours, until finally red bull emerged victorious. he got a little bit lucky with the safety car tonight, but he had to make it pay. and, you know, the strategy, we didn't want it to end in the stewards' room, we didn't take it into the stewards' room. but, you know, they've come to the right decision. mercedes are appealing again, but verstappen is the champion. max, how do you feel? not too bad. ican't complain! typical dutch understatement on the biggest night of his life. natalie pirks, bbc news, abu dhabi. so there we go. what a day it was. no doubt about the result for newcastle — are the team taken over in that multi—million pound saudi arabian deal going to be relegated? 4—0, they lost to leicester — youri tielemans scoring twice. it's just one win for newcastle all season. they're second from bottom and probably desperate to try and spend some of that money in the upcoming transfer window to improve results. in scotland, premiership league leaders rangers maintained their four point gap at the top. that's after they beat hearts 2—0 at tynecastle — joe aribo with their second. it's six straight league wins now for rangers. women's super league leaders arsenal showing why the title could be theirs this season. frida maanum scored twice in two minutes, as they beat leicester 4—0. the gunners are four points clear at the top of the table. of course, we will be poring over that result in abu dhabi throughout the rest of the day. we know that mercedes are going to appeal. they had two protests turned down. they are still appealing but they will have to do it quickly because they only have 72 hours to do so. max verstappen gets the big award on thursday night. bud verstappen gets the big award on thursday night-— verstappen gets the big award on thursday night. and hamilton was really gracious _ thursday night. and hamilton was really gracious afterwards. - thursday night. and hamilton was really gracious afterwards. it i thursday night. and hamilton was. really gracious afterwards. it shows 'ust wh really gracious afterwards. it shows just why he — really gracious afterwards. it shows just why he is _ really gracious afterwards. it shows just why he is a _ really gracious afterwards. it shows just why he is a true _ really gracious afterwards. it shows just why he is a true champion. i just why he is a true champion. in that moment to be so calm, that is something, isn't it? it took a while to get out of his car, that is for sure!— car, that is for sure! keep your helmet on! _ helmet on! thank you. sometimes behind the helmet you can go, i am so annoyed, and then take it off and smile. how is the weather? good morning. not as frustrating as that. good morning. it has been a mild —— wild night for some. close to 80 mph winds in lerwick in shetland. the good news is the wins will be falling lighter here. responsible for that was this cloud, a deepening area of low pressure. just passing to north west of shetland. winds will fall lighter. a trail of cloud behind it. that will produce outbreaks of rain. increasingly so in parts of northern england, manchester, merseyside, where standish house yorkshire. rain will come and go throughout the day. whether across north england. to the south of it plenty of cloud, to the north of it, sunny spells, showers, winds falling lighter. temperatures closer to the december average, seven or eight degrees. another incredibly mild day. it will be mild all day long in parts of england and wales. tonight, rain in northern ireland and wales. a lot of water on the ground. it could be misty and foggy as winds fall lighter. it could be a chilly night as well. temperatures are low enough for a touch of frost. the same in parts of scotland and northern ireland, more rain in the north—west. blustery conditions tonight and tuesday. a windy start in the north of scotland as we start tomorrow. outbreaks of rain. some of it on the heavy and relentless side. south of that, right or sunny spells breaking through the cloud. mist and fog clearing through the midlands, northern england and parts of wales. a bit of a shift in temperatures tomorrow. coolest across england and wales, closer to the average, milder for scotland and northern ireland. that will flip around again as we go into wednesday. on tuesday we have got the rain for the night. it shifts southwards. more cloud in scotland and northern ireland for wednesday, outbreaks of rain, dry weather too. mist and fog in england and wales to start with. some spots could be stubborn to shift, sunny spells as well. not a bad day for the vast majority. temperatures more even on wednesday. still mild for the time of the year. to see the weekend, high pressure in charge. no pressure at the moment, high pressure at the moment, high pressure later in the week. that means light winds and that is going to be a big problem, with mist, fog and overnight frost. if you are on the move later in the week and next weekend, it could be quite a dent in places. thank you, matt. if you've binge—watched any of the big international tv dramas of the past few years, chances are, the uk will have played a role in bringing the story to the screen. the industry is enjoying a golden age here, with spending on drama production almost double what it was before the pandemic. here's our media correspondent, david sillito. this is bad wolf in cardiff. it's where dramas such as his dark materials are filmed. are you from this world? no. neither am i. and it's just one of a number of new studio complexes that have been set up over the last few years in south wales. and it's notjust here. all of this is happening at a time when the tv industry in britain as a whole is booming — a fourfold increase in drama production over the last seven or eight years. and also, the cost of these productions is leaping up. bridgerton, a netflix series made in the uk. what happened to your hand? boxing. an absurdity that passes for entertainment amongst men. the company says its spending around $1 billion on productions in britain. and it's not alone. in 2013, the amount spent on high end tv drama in the uk was around £400 million. this year, it's topped four billion. and driving this ten—fold increase are those tv giants netflix, hbo, disney and amazon. there are now more jobs in tv drama than steel and coal. i spoke to the boss of bad wolf, jane tranter. she feels the moment that changed everything with the decision to film game of thrones in northern ireland. the amount of drama production in the uk, it's exploded, hasn't it? it has. you and i think that the success of game of thrones, and the success of what that show gave to belfast and the region, was probably very influential. she's a fine woman, your sister. this is generating quite a fewjobs? it's generating an enormous number ofjobs. i mean, just in wales, i think in the first five years. so bad wolf has been going for about six years. i think we counted the number ofjobs generated in wales alone in the first five years as something like over 2,200. and it's growing and it's growing and it's growing. when bad wolf first started in wales, it was quite empty. you know, there was bad wolf and we're kind of, "we're here, come on, everyonejoin us." and now, you know, you can't get a spot in the car park. and the growth looks set to continue. amazon is moving production of the lord of the rings tv series from new zealand to the uk. britain's studio are reaping the benefits from a multi—billion—dollar battle between streaming giants. david sillito, bbc news, cardiff. we haven't got time to watch it all. there is so much good stuff out there. i have got a lot that has built up. i'm behind on everything. you will catch up. you have more time. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. an investigation is due to be carried out into the death of an 11 year old girl after pest control checmicals were discovered chemicals were discovered by firefighters in a building in east london. she was found at an address on sutton street in shadwell and was taken to hospital, but died shortly after. three others who reported feeling unwell remain in hospital. other residents in the block are now staying in hotels as a precaution. absolutely devastated, especially parents. really devastated. you know, you wake up in the morning, you don't expect a young child, the passing of a young child. and also now they have heard that the whole place has been evacuated and people, the police, fire officers and other specialists are working diligently to make sure we can get some answers. the czech foreign minister has said that a body found in south east london is that of a missing nursing assistant. officers were called to brunswick park in camberwell yesterday. the body hasn't been formally identified. petra srncova was last seen leaving work at evelina children's hospital, on the 28th of november. new rules have come into place from today banning all privately owned e—scooters from transport for london services. customers carrying the devices will not be allowed to use any tubes, trains, buses or trams. it's due to safety concerns after recent fires on transport services. after 21 months out of service, the gatwick express is back in operation from today. the rail service between central london and gatwick airport was suspended in march last year as the covid pandemic hit and passenger numbers tumbled. it's hoped its return will help the airport's recovery. the travel now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from the london overground which has no service between surrey quays and clapham junction. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. high pressure dominates the weather as we head through much of the rest of the week across the capital, and it is set to stay dry or mostly dry, with perhaps just a few spits and spots of light, patchy rain, and drizzle falling at times. some thickness of the cloud — an awful lot of that around. and it does stay mild for this time of the year. another mild start to the morning, with some of our temperatures in double figures. otherwise, high single figures. it's quite grey out there, mist and murk, a light south—westerly wind. throughout the course of the day we will be keeping those layers of cloud, any brightness limited in nature. top temperatures of 12 to 13 celsius later this afternoon, 55 in fahrenheit. very mild for this time of the year, above average temperatures. overnight tonight there is a weather front sinking its way southward and eastward. as it bumps into the high pressure, any rain will fade away. there could be light, patchy rain, otherwise it is set to stay dry. a cooler night to follow, particularly for northern and western areas of the capital. slightly colder feeling air. there will be a slight drop in temperatures through the day tomorrow. again, it's looking dry. there could be brighter spells as we head through the afternoon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. every adult in england will be offered a covid booster by the end of the month, as the prime minister tries to stem what he calls a "tidal wave" of omicron. get boosted now to protect our nhs, our freedoms and our way of life. the target will mean up to a million jabs a day, but there's concern over the scale of the task for an already stretched nhs. the strictly finalists have been decided. after a nearly flawless performance on the dancefloor, we'll bejoined by aj odudu and her professional partner kai. the farcical end to the f1 season. as versappen celebrates — we reflect on the chaotic finish to the decider in the desert as hamilton misses out on a record eighth title. whilst out on the far north of scotland, breezy elsewhere but the wind is down. i will have the full outlook coming up. it's monday, the 13th of december. every adult over the age of 18 in england is to be offered a third dose of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of this month in a major acceleration of the booster programme. the prime minister said the new target was necessary to combat a "tidal wave" of the rapidly spreading omicron variant. but there are warnings this morning the booster roll—out could have an impact on non—covid nhs care. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. the countdown to the new year might look rather like this. queueing for a booster. the prime minister wants to massively accelerate the delivery of vaccine shots, because... i'm afraid we are now facing an emergency in our battle with the new variant omicron. and we must urgently reinforce our wall of vaccine protection to keep our friends and loved ones safe. here's a sense of the scale of what he's hoping to achieve. to offer everyone aged 18 and over a booster by the end of the month means giving 1 million doses a day, every day, until the end of the year. at the moment, around half a million doses are being given a day. to achieve this doubling, will come at a cost. with other non—covid related health care being put off. this will require an extraordinary effort, and as we focus on boosters, and make this new target achievable, it will mean some other appointments will need to be postponed until the new year. but if we don't do this now, the wave of omicron could be so big that cancellations and disruptions like the loss of cancer appointments will be even greater next year. and behind this door, his conclusion was simple and stark. so, let's do it. let's get boosted now. get boosted now for yourself, for your friends and your family. get boosted now to protectjobs and livelihoods across this country. get boosted now to protect our nhs, our freedoms and our way of life. get boosted now. national addresses like this from a prime minister are pretty rare and they have two consequences. firstly, they grab attention. but secondly, they remove the opportunity for scrutiny and questions. is the plan realistic? will it mean more restrictions are coming? labour are, for now, at least, backing the government. this has got to be a big national effort, all of us have got a part to play. and it's crucial that, you know, despite people's anger and frustration with the prime minister, justifiable anger and frustration with the prime minister, we put that to one side in the efforts to get the vaccine booster roll—out and to make it a success. tomorrow, the prime minister will seek and secure parliamentary approval for the introduction of so—called plan b in england, the already announced step up of measures to try to reduce the spread of the virus. the question now is how soon there might be talk of a plan c. chris mason, bbc news. we can speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. to our chief political good to our chief political money, great to see you. i wi| ask good money, great to see you. i will ask you chris's question, is the talk of a plan c?— ask you chris's question, is the talk of a plan c? there is, if you read the documents _ talk of a plan c? there is, if you read the documents published l talk of a plan c? there is, if you | read the documents published by talk of a plan c? there is, if you i read the documents published by the scientific advisers to the government and the people who do the modelling, they talk about the potential need for stringent measures in the future in some scenarios. those are scenarios, because they don't know exactly how the omicron variant is going to play out across the country yet. just how seriously ill people could get. and just what a threat it could pose to the stability of the nhs. so there are lots of guesses and assumptions. and none of these modelling groups are spelling out what stringent means. but i'm pretty sure somewhere in whitehall, people will be working up in whitehall, people will be working up contingency plans. but there is no sign that ministers have discussed any of those options yet. so for now, it is plan b, which has still got to be voted on in parliament, and one of the big things that we are looking at this week is this vote tomorrow in what used to be called covid certificates but which last night the prime ministerjust referred to, as, you will have to show a negative lateral flow test to get into a nightclub if you have not been vaccinated. it's clear that the government is trying to rebrand those covid certificates as something much less serious. but there will be a serious number of conservative mps who will vote against the government tomorrow because they think that the plan b measures are going too far, and they don't think the evidence is there to justify them. yet. in terms of the politics, things are just getting piled on one after another. we also have a by—election in north shropshire on thursday, after owen paterson resigned as an mp. and we are still waiting to hear the inquiry from the cabinet secretary into allegations of parties and gatherings in downing street and other government departments last christmas. so there is a lot on. there is a lot on, thank you so much for explaining all of that for us. it is probably quite a good day to have the health secretary on the programme at 7:30am. do you think you will have enough time to put all of that to him? lots you will have enough time to put all of that to him?— of that to him? lots to get through with said of that to him? lots to get through with sajid javid _ of that to him? lots to get through with sajid javid and _ of that to him? lots to get through with sajid javid and we _ of that to him? lots to get through with sajid javid and we will - of that to him? lots to get through with sajid javid and we will speak. with sajid javid and we will speak to the labour party in a couple of minutes as well. from today, people in england are advised to work from home if they can. it's part of a series of plan b measures introduced to slow the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus. the new guidance brings the country in line with scotland, wales and northern ireland. the czech foreign minister says a body found in a park in south—east london is that of nursing assistant petra srncova. the 32—year—old has been missing since late last month. the metropolitan police say the woman's death is currently being treated as unexplained. a man who was arrested last week has been released on bail pending further inquiries. emergency workers are searching for survivors in six us states, after some of the most powerful recorded storms in the country's history. in kentucky, the death toll is expected to pass 100 as emergency crews comb through debris. us president biden has declared a majorfederal disaster in the state. more than half a billion pounds of new funding has been announced by the governmemnt to help crack down on benefit fraud. the cash injection will go towards hiring hundreds of officials to check properties, bank accounts and wages. an early—morning raid of a suspected benefit fraudster in birmingham earlier this month. police, can you come to the door? the person they are after is accused of being a member of a criminal gang that stole £4 million in fraudulent claims for universal credit. benefit officials say they are determined to recover as much money as they can, and there's a lot to reclaim. a record £8.4 billion was lost due to fraud and error last year. in response, the government is now going to spend £510 million tackling the problem. among other things, the money will be spent hiring almost 2000 fraud investigators. it is about developing the prevention techniques upfront. we've certainly learned a lot during the pandemic, but there are other elements at the moment where we are going through all of the claims that were made that we potentially tagged at the time as being fraudulent or where we didn't have evidence and we are going back over those. having a look at your statement, won't you, because you have had two claimants go in from your wages, haven't you? the pandemic led to benefit rules being relaxed to allow record numbers of claimants to be paid quickly. but criminal gangs exploited the system, stealing identities and making bogus claims. ministers hope this new investment will deter more scammers, and help them catch those who have already stolen taxpayers' money. michael buchanan, bbc news. a new �*king of the castle' has been crowned on i'm a celebrity get me out of here. let's take a look at the

and drizzle further south. central and southern areas will see some sunshine at times. the winds will ease compared to this morning, across the north of the sunshine in the north and east, the sunshine will turn hazy. showers continuing in the north—west of scotland. rain across northern england particularly the north—west across yorkshire and north and west wales. only the odd spot of light rain drizzle in the south. another very mild one. tonight, cloud and patchy rain pushes itself, could cause some fog for the commute tomorrow morning. tomorrow, a wetter day for the north and west of scotland and it will be and west of scotland and it will be a chilly start for many tomorrow. thank you, see you in 25 minutes. "there is a tidal wave of omicron coming". that was the warning from the prime minister, borisjohnson, as he announced plans to rapidly accelerate the coronavirus booster campaign. all eligible adults in england will now be offered a third dose by the end of the month, in an effort to better protect people against the new variant. let's get reaction now from labour's shadow foreign secretary, david lammy. thank you very much for being with us. many of our viewers will know that you have been calling for decisive action from the government, did we get that last night?

the prime minister himself, why keir starmer actually fell short of calling for the primal minister to resign and said he wasjust the primal minister to resign and said he was just unfit to lead? that said he was 'ust unfit to lead? that should be a — said he wasjust unfit to lead? that should be a matter— said he was just unfit to lead? that should be a matter for the prime should be a matterfor

matterfor the prime minister and his conscious. clearly his credibility is in tatters. clearly there is huge upset, anger and frustration across the country. but in the end, this is a health emergency, it's but in the end, this is a health emergency, its health emergency that can cost lives, it's important to be responsible in these circumstances and therefore, all i can repeat is that we repeat the call to go out and get boosted, to book your appointment. we will support the government tonight and assist in this important national effort. as i said, it is all shoulders to the wheel to

morning. as we've been hearing, in orderfor the prime minister to achieve his target of offering a booster to all adults by the end of the month, around 1 million jabs will need to be administered every day. so is it possible? we're joined now by saffron cordery from nhs providers, which represents nhs trusts in england and dr amijones, an intensive care consultant in abergavenny. i will start with you, doctor ami, good morning to you, both, i know we have spoken to before. i'm interesting to note where you are working at icu, what is the current situation for you day—to—day? it is

busy, it has been busy the whole year and i think intensive care is quite busy but the places that are really busy are the accident and emergency units and the whole hospital is bursting. we are struggling to get patients out of hospital who don't need acute care any more, there is no flow in hospital, they are constipated, we cannot move patients through. there are covid patients, not loads of them, they don't take up all of my work but they take up a proportion of my work. that's the same throughout the hospital. as soon as you have covid patients to caster, they have to be kept separate and ppe so we are just very busy. looking forward into winter and looking at omicron coming, we wonder how we will cope. you looking at omicron coming, we wonder how we will cope.— how we

going to be in one piece at the start of next year. saffron cordery, i'm interested to know what you think listening to ami speaking and what you felt when you were watching the prime minister

historically, the impact of omicron on top of that. and the impact of social care the biggest problem is we have hundreds of patients in acute beds which we cannot get out of hospital because they need more care than they had when they came in and the system is absolutely stuck and the system is absolutely stuck and there is no flow. unless we improve that, when we get the deluge of the

until we can get patients out of the hospital, it is very difficult to get them in. at the end of the day it relies on funding and improving working conditions and pay. i think for the public, please go and get your vaccinations and your booster, think really carefully about how you behave over the next few weeks. don't sit in poorly ventilated into areas with people you don't know without masks on and try not to take any risks. christmas could really be ruined and certainly if christmas is not ruined, january will be very tough. not ruined, january will be very tou:h. ~ , , :, not ruined,

live on breakfast. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. an investigation is due to be carried out into the death of an 11—year—old girl, after pest control checmicals were discovered by firefighters in a building in east london. she was found at an address on sutton street in shadwell, and was taken to hospital, but died shortly after. three others who reported feeling unwell, remain in hospital. other residents in the block are now staying in hotels as a precaution. absolutely devastated, especially parents. really devastated. you know, you wake up in the morning, you don't expect a young child, the passing of a young child. and also now they have heard that the whole place has been evacuated and people, the police, fire officers and other specialists are working diligently to make sure we can get some answers. the czech foreign minister has said that a body found in south east london is that of a missing nursing assistant. officers were called to brunswick park in camberwell yesterday. the body hasn't been formally identified. petra srncova was last seen leaving work at evelina children's hospital, on the 28th of november. new rules have come into place from today, banning all privately owned e—scooters from transport for london services. customers carrying the devices will not be allowed to use any tubes, trains, buses or trams. it's due to safety concerns after recent fires on transport services. queen's park rangers' football match against sheffield united has been postponed, after a number of positive coronavirus cases were confirmed. the away game was meant to take place today, but qpr said the cases had left them with insufficient numbers to fulfil the fixture. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, apart from the london overground: which has no service between surrey quays and clapham junction. there are also minor delays on the central line. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. high pressure dominates the weather as we head through much of the rest of the week across the capital, and it is set to stay dry or mostly dry, with perhaps just a few splits and spots of light, patchy rain, and drizzle falling at times. some thickness of the cloud — an awful lot of that around. and it does stay mild for this time of the year. another mild start to the morning, with some of our temperatures in double figures. otherwise, high single figures. it's quite grey out there, mist and murk, a light south—westerly wind. throughout the course of the day we will be keeping those layers of cloud, any brightness limited in nature. top temperatures of 12 to 13 celsius later this afternoon, 55 in fahrenheit. very mild for this time of the year, above average temperatures. overnight tonight there is a weather front sinking its way southward and eastward. as it bumps into the high pressure, any rain will fade away. there could be light, patchy rain, otherwise it is set to stay dry. a cooler night to follow, particularly for northern and western areas of the capital. slightly colder feeling air. there will be a slight drop in temperatures through the day tomorrow. again, it's looking dry. there could be brighter spells as we head through the afternoon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. every adult over the age of 18 in england is to be offered a boosterjab by the end of this month, in a major acceleration of the vaccination programme. the prime minister said the new target was necessary to combat a "tidal wave" of the omicron variant. but there are warnings the rapid booster roll—out could have an impact on non—covid nhs care. from today, people in england are advised to work from home if they can. it's part of a series of 'plan b�* measures introduced to slow the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus. the new guidance brings the country in line with scotland, wales and northern ireland. the czech foreign minister says a body found in a park in south—east london is that of nursing assistant petra srncova. the 32 year old has been missing since late last month. the metropolitan police say the woman's death is currently being treated as unexplained. a man who was arrested last week has been released on bail pending further inquiries. as promised, we said we would be speaking to the health secretary, sajid javid this morning. delighted to sa he sajid javid this morning.

is going to be? we have spoken to a number of health care professionals this morning. check these figures if you can, 480,000 jobs being given a day at the moment. the most we have had at any point

they will appeal, but for now the result still stands — max verstappen is the new formula one world champion after a chaotic season finale. hamilton was in control in abu dhabi, heading for an eighth title, only for the safety car to come out following a crash with five laps to go. that bunched the field and saw hamilton lose his time advantage. offficals ordered the lapped cars between hamilton and verstappen out of the way, which is where a lot of the frustration lies, which meant when the race resumed verstappen was right behind, on faster tyres and able to strike on the final lap. the protest by mercedes was turned down. a lot of criticism of the fia of their handling of the end of that race. it certainly says a lot when drivers aren't happy as well. this is what george russell had to say on social media. he will partner hamilton next season. and an interesting tweet from harry kane, sharing the views of a lot of new formula one fans. former team owner eddie jordan joins us.

spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus. the new guidance brings the country in line with scotland, wales and northern ireland. our business correspondent, caroline davies, has this report. dwindling numbers on the commute on friday and from today, many workers will stay at home after the advice in england changed again. you should work from home if you can. i know this will be hard for many people, but by reducing your contacts in the workplace, you will help slow transmission. in newmarket, some were resigned, others disappointed. if we have to, we will do and i can do myjob from home. i have been going into- the office one day a week. it'sjust nice to go- somewhere different, just have a bit of a change, get out of the house. - actually put on proper clothes! this some worry that something is lost when people can't meet in real life. i just feel like there's a bit of a loss of that team working. we are a small team, there's only eight of us, and it's really easy these days just to turn on zoom or teams or whatever it might be to have a meeting. but you sort of lose a bit of granularity when you start heading down that route. in particular when it'sjust simple enough to turn around and ask somebody a question, now you have to jump on an hour zoom call. in the uk, england was an outlier. scotland, wales and northern ireland had already advised staff to continue working remotely wherever possible. just under 36% of workers in britain did some work from home in 2020, according to the office for national statistics. that had an impact on city centres, and even though many people are yet to go back to the office full—time, in the last week of november, seven in ten travelled to work at least once. in sheffield, this restaurant has already been affected by plan b. pretty much overnight, we lost about 100 covers with the announcement of plan b. we foresee more, including more covers and obviously not to mention the walk—in trade that we will miss over christmas and new year period. so really i think for the hospitality industry, this is a really devastating blow. the question that's likely to be in many people's minds as they make their morning coffee and commute the few paces to their laptop today will be, how long will they be working from home for? caroline davies, bbc news. police investigating the case of missing nursing assistant petra srncova say initial inquiries "suggest the circumstances are not suspicious". a body found in a park in south—east london yesterday has yet to be formally identified, but is believed to be that of the 32—year—old. she had been missing since late last month. a desperate search for survivors is under way in six us states devastated by powerful tornadoes. in kentucky, the death toll is expected to pass 100 as emergency crews comb through debris. our us correspondent, nomia iqbal, has this report from one of the worst affected areas. i'm in cambridge shores, which is a neighbourhood in kentucky. and it's been hugely impacted by the tornadoes. they ripped right through, destroying most of the houses here, including this one. this used to be a 3—storey home. and i spoke to the owner earlier today, jerry. and he told me that he lived here with his elderly father and they had managed to get out in the dead of night, on the friday, when the tornadoes ripped through. they have now returned because of course, they want to try and get hold of some of their belongings. and important stuff like this medication here which they've managed to find forjerry�*s father. there's also a safe full of precious items, there's money as well, there's all those kind of important mementos that mean a lot, that they're trying to find. but you can see, just the devastation in this neighbourhood, just how much things have been destroyed. and people here knew that bad weather was coming, they had received so many alerts over the course of the last few weeks, but nothing prepared anyone for these tornadoes. they took them by surprise, due to the speed and the ferocity. that was our us correspondent, nomia iqbal, reporting. it was a controversial end to the formula one season in abu dhabi yesterday. max verstappen passed lewis hamilton in the final lap to be crowned world champion. it was dramatic and strangely flat all of the same time. find it was

tottenham striker who said, i cannot quite get over my head around why it worked out the way it did. istate why it worked out the way it did. we are why it worked out the way it did. 9 are talking about. let's go to the weather now, matt has a rainbow for us. always a good start. there i say, the weather is more straightforward! pretty wild and windy in the north of scotland at the moment, but through the week the wind is wilful lighter. we will see an increasing risk of fog later on in the week. let's had to do what is happening out there at the moment, —— let's head out there. showers packing in across the north and west. more persistent rain in north wales edging into northern england, edging into north and east areas through the day. to the south it will be cloudy, the odd patch of light rain and drizzle. cooler to the north of it, closer to where temperature should be for the time of year. a scattering of showers into the afternoon into the north and west, many eastern parts of scotland, dry throat, sunshine hazy across the south. a lot patchy rain and drizzle in the south, highs of around 13. it will be a mild night tonight, at least to begin with across southern areas. cloud and rain will spread south and we could see some clearing skies with mist and fog and maybe even a touch of frost for one or two. the full full in around half an hour. —— the full forecast. now to an incredible act of kindness from a stranger that saved one girl's life. when libbie booker was 15 years old she was told she'd urgently need a bone marrow transplant. after a worldwide appeal, libbie finally received the news she'd been waiting for — a match had been found from ethan beckley — a 21—year—old from leeds. the transplant was a success, and recently, the pair met for the first time at the home of ethan's favouite football team, liverpool fc. let's take a look. how are you, you ok? yeah, good, good to meet you. i'll let you get back to it. no problem. so, are you ethan? yes.

death of an 11—year—old girl, after pest control checmicals were discovered by firefighters in a building in east london. she was found at an address on sutton street in shadwell, and was taken to hospital, but died shortly after. three others who reported feeling unwell remain in hospital. other residents in the block are now staying in hotels as a precaution. absolutely devastated, especially parents. really devastated. you know, you wake up in the morning, you don't expect a young child, the passing of a young child. and also now they have heard that the whole place has been evacuated and people, the police, fire officers and other specialists are working diligently to make sure we can get some answers. the czech foreign minister has said that a body found in south—east london is that of a missing nursing assistant. officers were called to brunswick park in camberwell yesterday. the body hasn't been formally identified. petra srncova was last seen leaving work at evelina children's hospital, on the 28th of november. police say initial inquiries into the death suggest the circumstances are not suspicious. new rules have come into place from today banning all privately owned e—scooters from transport for london services. customers carrying the devices will not be allowed to use any of the services due to safety concerns after recent fires on transport services. after 21 months out of service, the gatwick express is back in operation from today. the rail service between central london and gatwick airport was suspended in march last year, as the covid pandemic hit and passenger numbers tumbled. it's hoped its return will help the airport's recovery. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. on the tube there are minor delays on the central line. and there are severe delays on the london overground between surrey quays and clapham junction. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. high pressure dominates the weather as we head through much of the rest of the week across the capital, and it is set to stay dry or mostly dry, with perhaps just a few splits and spots of light, patchy rain, and drizzle falling at times. some thickness of the cloud — an awful lot of that around. and it does stay mild for this time of the year. another mild start to the morning, with some of our temperatures in double figures. otherwise, high single figures. it's quite grey out there, mist and murk, a light south—westerly wind. throughout the course of the day we will be keeping those layers of cloud, any brightness limited in nature. top temperatures of 12 to 13 celsius later this afternoon, 55 in fahrenheit. very mild for this time of the year, above average temperatures. overnight tonight there is a weather front sinking its way southward and eastward. as it bumps into the high pressure, any rain will fade away. there could be light, patchy rain, otherwise it is set to stay dry. a cooler night to follow, particularly for northern and western areas of the capital. slightly colder feeling air. there will be a slight drop in temperatures through the day tomorrow. again, it's looking dry. there could be brighter spells as we head through the afternoon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual

chaotic end to the season yesterday in abu dhabi. mercedes have said they will appeal the result. they have 72 hours to do so. when max gets the world championship trophy on thursday night, that is essentially the season over. any appeals after that we'll have to be settled in the court. that is where this could go. hamilton appeared to be cruising for that eighth title, in total control yesterday. the safety car came out and bunched the field together. then came the controversial decision by the race director to allow the lapped cars that were between hamilton at the front and verstappen through, instead of the whole field, which is what the rules stipulate, leaving verstappen, as we saw, able to strike and overtake hamilton on that final lap. lots of criticism of the sport's governing body for their handling of the end element of that race. let's talk to david coote third. good morning. it does feel a bit unsatisfactory, doesn't it? —— david coulthard. what is

international tv dramas of the past few years, chances are, the uk will have played a role in bringing the story to the screen. the industry is enjoying a golden age here, with spending on drama production almost double what it was before the pandemic. here's our media correspondent, david sillito. this is bad wolf in cardiff. it's where dramas such as his dark materials are filmed. are you from this world? no. neither am i. and it's just one of a number of new studio complexes that have been set up over the last few years in south wales. and it's notjust here. all of this is happening at a time when the tv industry in britain as a whole is booming — a fourfold increase in drama production over the last seven or eight years. and also, the cost of these productions is leaping up. bridgerton, a netflix series made in the uk. what happened to your hand? boxing. an absurdity that passes for entertainment amongst men. the company says its spending around $1 billion on productions in britain. and it's not alone. in 2013, the amount spent on high end tv drama in the uk was around £400 million. this year, it's topped four billion. and driving this ten—fold increase are those tv giants netflix, hbo, disney and amazon. there are now more jobs in tv drama than steel and coal. i spoke to the boss of bad wolf, jane tranter. she feels the moment that changed everything with the decision to film game of thrones in northern ireland. the amount of drama production in the uk, it's exploded, hasn't it? it has. and i think that the success of game of thrones, and the success of what that show gave to belfast and the region, was probably very influential. she's a fine woman, your sister. this is generating quite a fewjobs? it's generating an enormous number ofjobs. i mean, just in wales, i think in the first five years. so bad wolf has been going for about six years. i think we counted the number ofjobs generated in wales alone in the first five years as something like over 2,200. and it's growing and it's growing and it's growing. when bad wolf first started in wales, it was quite empty. you know, there was bad wolf and we're kind of, "we're here, come on, everyonejoin us." and now, you know, you can't get a spot in the car park. and the growth looks set to continue. amazon is moving production of the lord of the rings tv series from new zealand to the uk. britain's studio are reaping the benefits from a multi—billion—dollar battle between streaming giants. david sillito, bbc news, cardiff. so much good stuff to watch. i have got a long list. i have certainly got a long list. i have certainly got some catching up to do. i am going to want it now. good morning. there seems to be some serious temperatures, not temperatures, wind speeds. quite a wild night last night at the far north of scotland last night. winds approaching 80 mph in lerwick first thing. those winds are starting to ease. they were wrapped around this tell—tale hook of cloud, an area of low pressure pushing to the north of shetland. the winds will slowly ease down. notice this cloud in the way. that will produce more rain in parts of north and west wales. wet across northern england. scotland, northern ireland, hazy sunshine in the south, for most, the odd shower. cloudy, drizzly in places. very mild. winds coming in from the south—west. temperatures like

chilly start tomorrow. quickly turning milder again. this weather system putting across the north of scotland bringing some wet and windy weather through the day. not as strong as the winds last

are you? in the dark! i am having a bill oddie moment. this is the rainforest space at the social chain in manchester. do you hear that? it is really relaxing. there are spaces here for staff to have a moment out from their day, to relax. now here, they have been branding social media for various companies. the boss here says it is integral to workers that we are among the company of one another, that we are more creative when we work together. lots of them in the office now. good morning, guys. how has guidance changed from today? well, the advice is to go to work if you have too, but to work from home if you can. so that is a shift. what it does of course is bringing that into line with scotland, wales and northern ireland, where that work from home guidance is already in place. there's lots of flexibility this time, which is different from last time. if you need to access equipment in the office, or if you have a challenging home environment, you can ask to come into work. equally, if you feel it will negatively impact your mental health, you are being encouraged to have that conversation with the boss. in the last week of november, 70% of people went into the office at least once. one in seven say they are already mixing up their working pattern between working from home and are coming into the office. what then for bosses like katie, who is in charge here? good morning.

employers. thank you for that. i like and astro turf carpet. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8.59. this is bbc news with the latest headlines. every adult in england will be offered a covid booster by the end of the month as the health secretary promises to "throw everything" at beating omicron. what we have now that we didn't have before with any of the other variants when they started is that we have vaccines. now, we know that two don't work. we know that three do. that's why it's eminently sensible, absolutely the right thing to this action. the target will mean up to a million jabs a day, but there's concern over the scale of the task for an already stretched nhs. from today, people in england are advised to work from home if they can, in a bid to slow the spread of the omicron variant. a federal disaster is declared in kentucky — after the largest outbreak of tornadoes in american
