of families in the uk have seen their disposable incomes shrink in the last two years. i wish i was older so i could pay the bills with her. and the 2022 edition of the golden globes will not be broadcast on nbc — as the television network dropped the show following a backlash over diversity. good afternoon. the health secretary sajid javid says the omicron variant of coronavirus now accounts for 20% of all new cases. he called it a race between virus and vaccine, saying no variant before had spread as quickly. in london, omicron is expected to become the dominant strain as early as tomorrow. the prime minister says at least one person has now died in the uk with the new omicron variant of coronavirus. meanwhile, there have been long queues at vaccination centres after the prime minister announced the ramping up of its booster programme to offer everyone over the age of 18 a jab by the end of the month in england. mrjavid said in future, people would need a boosterjab to get into large venues. the nhs website for booking a shot in england has been overwhelmed and the government's online service for ordering rapid tests has been suspended because of high demand. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, reports. the race between the virus and the vaccine has intensified once again. and, at a vaccination clinic in central london this morning, some sobering news from the prime minister. sadly, at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with omicron. so, i think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus, i think that's something we need to set on one side. in stockport, greater manchester, this walk—in centre has seen steady business, particularly as concerns grow around the omicron variant. all the time, we feel like we are getting more it does feel we've had queues around the building. so, there's a definite energy and demand. and that's people coming for their first jabs, second jabs and their boosters. there's still lots we don't know about this new variant. but one thing is clear, and that's vaccines remain our best defence against developing serious illness. against developing serious illness, and that's why it's as important as ever to get jabs into as many arms as quickly as possible. now the booster programme has been expanded, offering jabs to all eligible over—18s by the end of the month, a significant challenge for an already hard—pressed health service. if that offer of a booster was translated into actually delivering the jab, it would mean giving 1 million doses a day, every day, until the end of the year. at the moment, about 500,000 are being given a day. so, ramping up the programme will come at a cost, with other non—covid related health care being put off. reports are emerging of a shortage of lateral flow tests, with those trying to order them online being told no home testing kits are available. problems, too, with the website for booking boosters in england. high demand means the site is crashing, and people are advised to try again later or tomorrow. and in hospitals, where staff are already under pressure, there's real anxiety over what the next few weeks may bring, particularly for those patients that need high levels of care. l it's awful — you feel like you're i giving them a third world service. we have people who need an intensive care bed - after their operation, _ which we can't do, because the beds are either full of covid . patients or full of people we can't get a ward - bed for, because there's no capacity in the hospital. long queues outside vaccination centres, booking websites crashing because of massive demand. these are all signs the message on the importance of boosters is getting through. now it's a question of getting those jabs into arms. dominic hughes, bbc news. earlier, we spoke to our medical editor, fergus walsh, who gave us this update on the spread of the omicron variant. in london, it now makes up about 40% of all cases. the prime minister said it would probably make up the majority by tomorrow. by the end of the week, omicron should be the dominant source of all cases in the uk, completely taking overfrom delta. that's because it's spreading so fast. it's doubling every two or three days. that's faster than any previous variant. so, that means we could be heading for 100,000, maybe 200,000 cases a day by the end of the month, maybe sooner. and if that keeps on doubling, at some point that curve will start to bend. we've had one death confirmed. obviously, that's a tragedy for the family involved, but it tells us very little useful about the level of threat we face from omicron. but even if it is generally a milder illness than we get from delta, because so many people have got some level of immunity, if we get a massive spike in cases, it still will result, potentially, in a lot of people in hospital. but we won't have the full detail on that threat for a few weeks, which is why the booster programme is so important, because it will give protection against infection and should give very strong protection against severe illness. in the last hour the health secretary sajid javid has been outlining the importance of the booster programme. i'm not going to pretend this is a enough — i'm not going to pretend this is a enough to— i'm not going to pretend this is a enough to see us through. because of the threat _ enough to see us through. because of the threat of omicron, we are moving to plan _ the threat of omicron, we are moving to plan b— the threat of omicron, we are moving to plan b and — the threat of omicron, we are moving to plan b and england subject to the will of— to plan b and england subject to the will of this— to plan b and england subject to the will of this house. meaning that we must use _ will of this house. meaning that we must use face coverings in indoor public— must use face coverings in indoor public places, people should work from home if they can and from wednesday, again, subject to this house. _ wednesday, again, subject to this house. wilt— wednesday, again, subject to this house, will need to show a negative taterat— house, will need to show a negative lateral flow — house, will need to show a negative lateral flow test to get into nightclubs and large events with an exemption for the double vaccinated. once att— exemption for the double vaccinated. once all adults have at a reasonable chance _ once all adults have at a reasonable chance to _ once all adults have at a reasonable chance to get their boosterjab, we intend to _ chance to get their boosterjab, we intend to change this objection to require _ intend to change this objection to require a — intend to change this objection to require a booster dose. let�*s intend to change this objection to intend to change this ob'ection to require a booster dose. let's bring ou require a booster dose. let's bring you un-to-date — require a booster dose. let's bring you up-to-date with _ require a booster dose. let's bring you up-to-date with the _ require a booster dose. let's bring you up-to-date with the latest -

further restrictions? that's right. he tried to reassure people that l he tried to reassure people that christmas wouldn't be cancelled. he said the existing steps we have at the moment in his view was the right approach. that's plan b. those restrictions are along this booster campaign. sajid javid suggested we could be facing a dramatic increase in the number of people who have been going in the hospitalfrom covid, one in five cases of omicron and england. almost half in london. that would account for the majority in cases. so, there's that message coming from the government and scepticism. seeking assurances he didn't get to from the government that should be any further restrictions, and mps will have a say over that. don't forget parliament is into recess at the —— into the week. there will be votes. a former cabinet minister said one of her constituents was fearful of what she called incoherent and intrusive measures by the government than there were of covid. i think that's a little preview of some of the sense we will get on the conservative benches tomorrow. thank ou ve conservative benches tomorrow. thank you very much- — conservative benches tomorrow. thank you very much. that's _ conservative benches tomorrow. thank you very much. that's iain _ conservative benches tomorrow. thank you very much. that's iain watson. let's talk to our correspondent andrew plant, who's been with people queueing for up to three hours to get a vaccine in hungerford in berkshire. some of them have been waiting a long time, haven't they? they have been. i long time, haven't they? they have been- i think _ long time, haven't they? they have been. i think the _ long time, haven't they? they have been. i think the scenes _ long time, haven't they? they have been. i think the scenes we've -

"you can manage them?" and things like that, you know? do you worry? yes, a lot. because i don't know what's going to happen when she doesn't get enough bills paid and i don't want to be living out on the streets. his dream is to be a footballer, to earn lots of money. so you can help your mum? yeah. and i wish i was older, so i could pay the bills with her. he will sometimes ask me to pray for him. and, by the time i pray for him, that calms him down and he goes off to sleep. christine earns £1,200 a month but often needs a food bank to feed her family. the 47—year—old regularly skips meals herself. i've lost so much weight. people said, "oh, you lose the weight, christine." i can't even say much to them because i say to myself, "a pity you don't know what is happening right here." 50p an item now, it's all got to go. at the market in west bromwich, money is getting tighter, say traders. energy and petrol price rises making bargains a premium. this is not an area of high unemployment, but manyjobs are low skilled. people here don't work less, theyjust don't earn as much. weekly wages in this area are about £80 lower than they are in the rest of britain. and this is most of my baking accessories, so cake boxes, turners to decorate, crowns. you bake cakes to sell? yes, i do it as a hobby. halima bibi is a part—time librarian and a full—time hustler. so you've got

creating value — profit — where she can. you work in the library, you've got three other side hustles. yes. and you shop in the promotional aisle. and a lot of people will only find that out about me now, because i've not shared that with them because i've been embarrassed of it. the divorced mother of two says many people, including colleagues, can be unsympathetic. they don't understand disadvantaged people. they will, like, go, "you are too stingy," and i'll go, "no, i'm not stingy." i have everything for my children but i do it on a budget. with the season of giving fast approaching, many families increasingly feel they have nothing left to give. michael buchanan, bbc news, west bromwich. you might have thought that the hottest place in the solar system is the sun. well not any more — as it's actually on an industrial estate in the south of england. or at least it is every time a nuclearfusion reactor there is fired up. fusion reactions power the sun and scientists have been trying for decades to recreate them here on earth to try to generate low carbon electricity. our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. in this nondescript warehouse building they have constructed a state—of—the—art reactor, designed to recreate the fusion forces that power the sun itself. nuclear fusion is the holy grail of low—carbon energy because it has the potential to generate so much power. industrial—scale fusion would crack the energy challenge. we could solve climate change and transform the world economy. but harnessing the sun's power here on earth is not easy. it involves fusing atoms of hydrogen to fuse together, creating helium along with huge amounts of energy. it means heating hydrogen to incredible temperatures while using super powerful magnets to hold the reaction in place. the technology is improving and investment money is pouring into private fusion projects like this all around the world. so when i press this button, we arm and fire the reaction ok, here we go. arm and fire! sg—40 arming. the machine will pulse 140,000 amps of electricity into the gas. firing in three, two, one... it takes the temperature of the hydrogen to 50 million degrees centigrade, three times as hot as the heart of the sun. it's not a question of if, it is a question of when. we will crack it. the answer is out there right now with mother nature, as we speak. what we have to do is find that key and unlock the safe to that solution. it will be found. he expects the first commercial reactors to be operational by early 2030 and says we could be making tea using electricity generated from fusion reactions here in the uk by the end of that decade. that would be a huge development for humanity, creating our own galaxy of tiny suns here on earth holds out the prospect of a virtually unlimited supply of clean, secure and very cheap energy. so here's hoping that the team in its didcot industrial estate helps solve this incredible challenge. justin rowlatt, bbc news, oxfordshire. the 2022 golden globes nominations are out, and benedict cumberbatch, olivia colman and sir kenneth branagh are among the british stars in the running for the awards. however, they won't be broadcast on tv: the us network nbc dropped the show after a backlash over the organisations alleged lack of diversity. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson gave us some background to the row: we can go back to february this year. it emerged that over 87 people who vote for the golden globes, the hollywood foreign press association, not one of them was black and not one black person had voted in the golden globes for almost two decades. the response was immediate. the time's up movement called for a boycott of the golden globes. 100 publicists said they would not let their clients do any interviews with members of the hollywood foreign press. then, the big one — nbc, who have the rights to the event. you can remember ricky gervais and tina fey hosting this awards show, they said they would not televise the awards in 2022. tom cruise handed back the three awards he'd won for the likes of magnolia. today, there was real interest to see what would happen with the nominations — would any stars want to be associated with them at all? will be in the next few hours start to hear stars say, "i don't want this nomination that i've been given for this film"? now, it's too early for that to happen yet. interestingly, there was one celebrity who turned up at the nominations and read out the first half of them — snoop doggy dogg, the pop star and actor was there lending his support to the golden globes, so many people might be surprised to see that. joining me now is culture writer amil niazi. do you think they are going to die out because of this row? they are not going to be on tv. stars may not want nominations for these awards. there is a place to see them replaced. the critics choice awards is angling to take over from the golden globes and bhf pa. the big story today is how client hollywood is in regards to these nominations. usually a huge deal and huge star power up front to get ahead of these types of nominations and the fact that that air on outlets like twitter right now it says a lot about the irrelevance of the golden globes from just even this february when that blockbuster piece came out about how there are no black members and bhf pa. bhf about how there are no black members and bhf pa. �* �* ., v and bhf pa. bhf pa, that's the hollywood _ and bhf pa. bhf pa, that's the hollywood foreign _ and bhf pa. bhf

for eight months we have worked tirelessly as an organization to be better but obviously mbc and most other people don't think they have done enough to be back there because they will not televise the awards. that be back there because they will not televise the awards.— televise the awards. that is right. it's also outlets _ televise the awards. that is right. it's also outlets like _ televise the

gloves? — olivia colman. i cold and gloves? — olivia colman. i cannot imagine a latina type of cold and gloves? — olivia colman. i cannot imagine a latina type of star power the golden globes usually abstracts on its red carpet. i think they will be of people who will not show to connect the awards. make a report just that it's show to connect the awards. make a reportjust that it's pretty early to see any outright rejection of it but i think you will not see a type of star power associated themselves with the globes at a nominee what it was set of making these nominations and bees are usually a precursor to the osprey so you have people that christians do it and they got the usually favored to connect oscar nominations and getting that early not and the fact that no one talking about it says a lot of hollywood's relationship to the golden gloves right now. do relationship to the golden gloves riaht now. ,, relationship to the golden gloves riaht now. right now. do you feel

golden i globes are out there on there own in terms of lack of diversity in the unpopularity that brings or are other awards in a similar position? i don't think you have to remember the twitter—hashtag was trending, oscar is so white, the industry struggles with a lack of diversity and the award show with! and so they cite any not alone in this. the oscar is struggling with the grammys struggled a bit. i think until we see meaningful representation and change and diversity in the industry we will see his problem with our award shows as well.— we will see his problem with our

natural course stop thank you for joining us on bbc news. with the unprecedented surge in demand for dogs during lockdown, a bbc investigation has found networks of breeders are offering to arrange cutting or mutilation of the ears of puppies for purely cosmetic reasons. the cropping of dogs ears is illegal in the uk but a team from "bbc wales investigates" has found that unlicensed breeders were offering to sell fraudulent foreign pet passports, to hide the identity of illegally mutilated dogs. wyre davies reports. good boy, you have been such a good boy. lockdown has been boom time for the dogs business, especially so—called designer breeds like these american bullies. these are what are known as micro bullies. the whole purpose of the breed is to try and make them as small and stocky as possible. animal charities are taking in more animals, often confiscated from criminals cashing in on the trade in dogs. these dogs belong to one such breeder. christopher liked to show off and advertise his dogs online. he was recentlyjailed for breeding without a license, and illegally importing dogs. he was also convicted of another crime, cutting off their ears. sadly, there is a demand for dogs with ears mutilated. they cut the floppy bit off. this is what he should look like. it is purely aesthetic, to achieve a look that some people think is attractive. it is illegal to cut a dog's ears like this in the uk. at the moment, you can import one when they have already been cropped. there are laws in place to protect animals, but we found plenty of backyard breeders who are staying one step ahead of the authorities to make some serious cash. social media is awash with breeders, many legitimate. we went undercover. some breeders seem keen on dogs with clipped ears. we went undercover and spoke to one breeder who offered us a puppy for £13,000. he describes what could be done to her ears. you can have them off. if it ever comes back to us we are going to say it was present when you collected it, nothing to do with us. the breeder denied doing anything illegal. we showed our evidence to an expert. abhorrent. they are breaching the animal welfare act. he is advocating an illegal, painful unnecessary mutilation. it is all for status. no health benefit to the dogs. there is a loophole that allows the importation of these dogs and that is acting as a smoke screen for it happening in the uk. the uk government says planned changes to the law would restrict importation of dogs with cropped ears and puppies under six months old. we got hold of a blank foreign pet passport with all the necessary vaccination stamps. this is what allows some breeders to claim they have imported a dog with cropped ears to hide illegal activity here. an activity which can generate huge profits but in which designer dogs are often made to suffer. wyre davies, bbc news. you can watch the full investigation — the hidden world of designer dog breeding — at 7.35pm tonight on bbc one wales and on iplayer. in a moment, it will be time for the bbc news at six with fiona bruce. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. he's looking and dull. just like the picture behind me. tomorrow will be overcast. this happens when we have a transition between cold air and mild air. this is a lack of funds over us right now. you can see that cloud here. and there's another storm which gave some strong liens to the northwest of the uk in the last 24 hours. we have got cold air in between his widow and a friend is an south of that to me how proud and damp weather and temperatures in the double figures right now. this is what's happening tonight. the weather front is moving south and the skies will clear in the north and south for some mist and fog to form across parts of northern england and parts of the midlands and wales as well as in the south middle the weather front is we still have a lot of cloud in the mild air so the doublethink of temperatures resting the morning. here is the weather map for tuesday. the high pressure to the south and let the front and no pressure to the north and it will be grading the northwest of scotland still outbreaks of rain but for the most part tuesday would be an overcast day across most of the uk with some glimmers of brightness here and there but that is pretty much it. it will be a mild day in the south about 12 and in the north and be cold there. generally speaking it's been above the average for the time of year. tuesday's states that there have high pressure identity south and the weather front in the north and to think of when they prescott named and not in ireland that would be more cloud here with some bits and pieces of rain and the sound of cloud and high pressure building for the rest of the week. so that means the later is not going to change an awful lot. it willjust be cloudy with some sunshine now and then. the high pressure will establish itself over us. this is what we call our developing by then a blocking area of high pressure sla persistent area high pressure that one it sits on top of the uk it will hang around for at least a week or more which means the weather from the end of the city is not probably going to change a lot. it would be cloudy and murky about it. demand for covid boosters soars as the race is on to offer them to all adults by the end of the year. there are long queues outside vaccination centres and the nhs england website crashes as people try to book appointments. the best thing we can do to protect ourselves, protect our country, and ensure that we have as normal a christmas as possible is to get boosted now. england is to get boosted now. joins the rest of the uk encouraging england joins the rest of the uk encouraging us to work from home where possible from today. we'll look at how the drive to increase boosters for all adults will work across the uk. also tonight... the death of harry dunn in 2019 — the american woman accused of killing him, anne sacoolas, will face trial in the uk. how half of uk families are poorer since the start of the pandemic, leaving some children anxious for their future.
