plenty ofjobs — where are the people to fill them? ten weeks after furlough stopped, unemployment remains steady, but there are record numbers of vacancies — what's going on? we get the latest numbers at seven. in sport, manchester united's game tonight is off because of a covid outbreak. they won't play brentford later, with a record number of cases now reported across the premier league. and it's a wet and windy day for those of you in northern scotland today. elsewhere, most places dry. forecast on breakfast. good morning. it's tuesday, the 14th of december. borisjohnson could face the biggest backbench revolt since he entered downing street later, when mps vote on new covid rules for england. as many as 70 conservative mps have indicated they'll oppose the government's plan b measures for tackling the omicron variant. here's our political correspondent, ben wright. it is, says the government, a race between the virus and the vaccine, and people have been rushing to receive their boosterjab after ministers warned of a tidal wave of infection caused by the omicron variant of covid. that has meant delays for some people trying to access appointments, and for the government to call for vaccine volunteers. no variant of covid—19 has spread this fast. in the commons yesterday, the health secretary, sajid javid, said omicron now represented 20% of cases in england and was accelerating fast. the booster programme has been expanded, with anyone over 18 able to book a jab from wednesday. that means nhs resources are being switched to focus on delivering vaccines and urgent clinical care. the health service in england is being put on its highest level of emergency readiness, level four, national incident, meaning it can be coordinated at a national level. a letter from nhs bosses says even with the protection of boosterjabs, the threat from omicron remains serious, and the number of people requiring care could be significant. while vaccines are the first line of defence, the governments of all uk nations agree further measures are needed to try and slow the spread of omicron. in the commons today, there will be a series of votes, beefing up public health protection in england. there will be one on more mandatory mask wearing. another on replacing self isolation with daily testing for people exposed to a positive case of the omicron variant. but it's the plan to require a negative covid test, or proof of vaccination status, to attend crowded events that has riled many tory mps. it's a question of how effective they actually are, they're not very effective. but also, i have a problem with the government requiring people to do that. up to 70 conservatives may rebel against the government, arguing that these restrictions go too far. these votes will be judged as a test of borisjohnson�*s authority over his party too. a beleaguered prime minister who may well need labour mps to get his policy through. ben wright, bbc news, westminster.

needs to be taken to slow the spread of the omicron variant while the booster vaccination programme is accelerated. wales' first minister has announced urgent plans to offer the booster vaccine to all eligible adults by the end of the year. mark drakeford also warned new restrictions could be on the way, saying ministers may need to take more steps to keep wales safe. there are currently 30 confirmed cases of omicron in the country. the health secretary, sajid javid, has insisted the uk has plenty of lateral flow tests available. that's despite the government website having to temporarily close yesterday because of high demand. from today, fully vaccinated people in england who come into contact with a covid case can take daily tests instead of self—isolating. lawyers for anne sacoolas — the american woman accused of causing the death of the motorcyclist harry dunn — have denied an agreement has been reached for her to face criminal proceedings in a uk court. last night the crown prosecution service said the case would be heard at westminster magistrates court next month. mrs sacoolas is accused of killing the 19—year—old in a crash outside an raf base in northamptonshire in 2019. danjohnson has this report. harry dunn was knocked off his motorbike outside this raf base in northamptonshire in august of 2019. anne sacoolas, wife of a us intelligence official who was stationed there, fled the country under diplomatic immunity. she was charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a campaign, but an extradition request was refused by the us. now the crown prosecution service has told harry's parents the case will go to court next month. you can imagine, they're completely overwhelmed at the moment. lots of tears. but importantly, you know, of course we continue to think about harry. this is no celebration, this is no victory, but clearly, the culmination of two and a half years now of very tough, high—profile public campaigning for justice. the foreign secretary has welcomed the news. but it's not clear whether the original charge is still being pursued, or how diplomatic immunity is being bypassed. and anne sacoolas' lawyers say although they had always been willing to discuss a hearing via video link, there is no agreement at this time. this complicated case has taken many turns and faced difficult challenges. but there will be a hearing at westminster magistrates' court on january the 18th. dan johnson, bbc news. mps say big tech companies should be forced to take tougher action against a wide range of online crimes and abuse. a parliamentary committee reviewing the proposed online safety bill says the industry has failed in its plan to self—regulate. the government says the new legislation will hold big tech to account if they fail to act. we'll have in the future clear codes to say to the companies, "this is what the offence means, this is what you have to do. if you fail to do it, we'll audit you and you'll be liable for the mistakes that you've made." we don't have any of this at the moment, so this will be a big change. i think that's the key thing. i think of people in particular who've been victims of abuse, who felt they've had no—one to turn to, the companies weren't interested in helping them, they now have the law on their side. more than 88 people are now known to have been killed by the tornadoes that swept through six us states at the weekend. seventy four of the deaths were in kentucky, where search and rescue efforts have been continuing. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. people would normally be back in work. but instead, it's a third day of rebuilding their lives. the town's doctor would be seeing patients. instead he is trying to save his surgery. we're trying to clean out a path to it, to get a truck in here, maybe get some equipment out of it that could be salvaged. the scale of destruction is staggering. entire homes have been wiped out. residents here are used to tornadoes — they get bad weather alerts — but nothing prepared them for this. we went down to my grandmother in law's and stayed in their hallway for shelter. erm... ijust held my kids tightly and prayed. a rescue operation is ongoing at the nearby candle factory, after two people were found alive in this debris by their mobile phone signals more than a day after the collapse. president biden plans to visit kentucky this wednesday. this administration has made it clear to every governor, whatever they need, when they need it — when they need it — make it known to me, we will get it them as rapidly, as rapidly as we can. he has offered support to help residents recover and rebuild. many tell us that could take years. nomia iqbal, bbc news,

going well so far. it is going to be a case of whether quieting down for the rest of this week. to begin with today we have some wet and windy weather around, especially in northern scotland. there will be some fog patches in england and wales. let's concentrate on the wet weather. some patchy light rain or drizzle through the midlands and wales. the bulk of the rain is across the highlands and islands. strong winds as well. easing into the afternoon. the rain is chiefly to the north and west. gaps in the cloud further east. a chilly start in southern scotland, as it is in most places. these areas are most likely to see fog on some of the journeys to work. in the midlands, south wales, patchy rain. temperatures nine to 11 degrees. as you go through the day some of the heaviest rain in the north and west of scotland will ease temporarily. some rain across western scotland. further south, drizzle. many will be dry. the latest winds further south. the highest temperatures up to 13 of the very best. a little bit cooler you have some of that lingering fog through parts of the midlands and northern england and north wales. the sunshine will break through the cloud. this evening and overnight more heavy rain in the north and west of scotland, fairly breezy. further south the odd mist and fog parts. for most, a cloudy start to wednesday. a little bit cooler. details in half an hour. thank you. the rapid expansion of the covid booster programme has led to long queues outside vaccination centres, and problems with the online booking system. despite that, the prime minister has revealed more than half a million people managed to book in for their jab yesterday, as zoe conway reports. in central london, people here confirming the cliche that the british are very good at queueing. those at the front have waited more than five hours and show notjust fortitude, but cheeriness. are you cold? i'm all right. i'm from the north, so i'm used to the cold. and are you ok with having to wait this long? yeah, i'll wait as long as i have to. and what have you been doing to keep your spirit up in the queue? i've been listening to audiobooks. i've been playing some games on my phone. i've called my mother twice. further down the line, they have snacks. delivered by a colleague from a nearby office block. let me just inspect, what have you got here? i think these are some rice crispy reindeers, and some fudge and marshmallows. and what do you make of how long you're having to wait, do you mind? i mean, it's a bit stupid, though, isn't it? it was known that this would happen today because obviously we have gone from a0 plus being allowed to get the jab to 18 plus. and yet here we are five hours then, so! and who do you blame for that? laughter. i blame the fact that boris is announcing these things sort of a day in advance. it doesn't really help. that would be my blame. most of the people here have come to this walk—in centre to get a booster. the government wants to get more of the centres up and running in order to meet their target of ensuring 1 million people a day can book a booster by the end of the year. on monday, the nhs website was under extreme pressure. though 390,000 people did manage to book an appointment and nhs england is urging people to keep trying to book. at this centre in nottingham, they waited up to two hours for theirjabs. we tried to get on the website to book a vaccine, and it had just crashed. so we've just come to the walk—in. you've got to get protected, that's the end of it. much of the vaccine programme has until now been delivered by gps. some now fear being overwhelmed by their workload. we have been really struggling in terms of meeting the demand from the patients. so i think it will be really, really hard, really challenging, how we're going to actually manage with day—to—day winter pressures, covid demand and the vaccination demand as well. the government is calling for thousands of volunteers to step forward. in southampton, paula fraser has been volunteering since the beginning of the year. i like the fact that i feel as if i'm contributing. i'm doing something positive. it's very easy to sit back and just watch it and complain. so it's good to feel that i can be a part of something positive. the military are already on hand to help at the st helens rugby club in merseyside. in total, 750 members of the armed forces have been drafted in to help put needles in arms. ijust believe what they say when they say that you are better immunised if you have the booster as welt _ at the home park stadium in plymouth, some people waited four hours for their boosters. even though they are delivering three times as manyjabs here as they were three months ago. in september we were doing about 5000 vaccines a week. last week, we hit the target of 16,905 vaccines through this site. which we are all really, really pleased with, the fact that we have been able to increase our capacity. nhs england is anxious that people are not put off by the length of the queues. they are promising a rapid expansion of capacity and are urging people not to delay getting theirjab. zoe conway, bbc news. and we are going to be talking about that a fair bit today, what to do if you want to book yourjab.- you want to book your “ab. yeah, exactl . you want to book your

"britain fights back" is how the daily mirror describes the rush for booster vaccines. more than half a million people booked their third dose of a jab yesterday in england. but the daily telegraph reports the number should have been far higher, if the nhs booking website hadn't been "repeatedly overwhelmed". according to the guardian, the nhs has been put on a "crisis footing", with hospitals in england told to free up beds after a rapid rise in uk cases of the omicron variant. and the daily mail focuses on today's commons vote on england's �*plan b�* measures, which could see a significant backbench tory rebellion. the paper says more than one in five conservative mps are set to oppose or sit out the vote. as adam fleming said earlier, that could have implications in the

something else going on that nobody predicted. good morning. there were some pretty dire warnings that once the government turned off the jobs support that unemployment would go much higher. in the end that hasn't happened. but the pandemic has caused a different heading for the jobs market and that is vacancies. so when the latest lockdown came to an end, all of a sudden lots of employers were looking to restart at the same time. lots of people were simultaneously thinking about a career change. the latest figures for the three months to the end of september, show that unemployment was at lt.3%, that is much lower than some early pandemic predictions, which at one point were as high as 12%. still more people are employed there before covid. we will get an update on those figures later. we will be paying close attention to the number of job paying close attention to the number ofjob vacancies. so in august to october, they were almost at 1.2 billion roles being advertised. that is a record high. basically, one vacancy for every ten people working. the vacancies are in a range of places. the highest numbers are in delivery drivers, warehouse workers, hospitality staff, cleaners, and health and social care levy goes. it is a really stressful time for some bosses worrying about whether those vacancies mean they can fulfil their contracts. i have been speaking with some of them. who could have predicted this? from a pandemic that punished the economy, lots ofjobs now available, not enough people to fill them. this hotel in manchester has bounced back to a high number of bookings, but despite recruitment drives and training new faces, they are still 30 members of staff down. adrian, where's everyone gone then? good question. so, some went back to europe. and some people just chose, in the last year—and—a—half, to go off and do other things. some went to work at libraries, some went to start their own business, some are doing things from their own home, of course. so what are you now doing to entice people into the industry, to come to the hotel? well, firstly, we've increased all our entry level pay to the national living wage. and we've also addressed some of the key positions where we just felt market forces required us to improve the salary levels. and increased salaries in onejob market can put pressure on others. 10% of uk roles are in hospitality, and there is some evidence that that's pulling workers away from jobs like cleaning. ryan employs around 25 people in cleaning office spaces, but it's not enough to fulfil his contract. he needs more. a lot of the applicants and a lot of candidates have left the industry, particularly to go to the supermarket industry, for example, where they've seen huge growth during covid, and they know that they're not going to be furloughed, the premises isn't going to close down, the work is going to carry on regardless in a supermarket environment, whereas in the cleaning industry, if they're in an office or they have been cleaning a pub, there's obviously a higher chance that they might be furloughed or potentially even lose theirjob when that premises closed. vacancies here and across the board are down to a variety of reasons. yeah, it's partly european workers going home because of covid and because of brexit. but also, lockdown led t people reassessing what they wanted out of life, thinking about the priorities. and in fact the number of people switching jobs is also at a record high. some people are calling this period �*the great resignation'. helen has lost staff at her workshop and it's starting to affect business. we're having to push out our lead times to our customers. and some of our customers are being patient, but somejust really can't wait as long as we are quoting them in terms of time frames, and they've taken their business elsewhere. obviously working in a foundry is dirty work. but we do pay more than we pay the staff that we have in our warehouse as a little bit of compensation for the working environment. keeping fewer rooms open, delaying deadlines, failing to expand, all consequences of not having enough people. and increasing wages can impact prices more generally, putting more pressure on family budgets. nina warhurst, bbc news. it will be really interesting to hear from you if you have decided on a career change, or you are trying to employ the right people and are struggling. in a warning that these vacancy numbers will drive through inflated wages and inflated prices. something happening with adrian. lots of. —— staff from pre—pandemic are coming by part—time and giving some of their time to charity. it is people looking at their lives and thinking, where do i want to put my time and energy? that may be could be taken as a positive. it time and energy? that may be could be taken as a positive.— be taken as a positive. it can. thank you- — time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the met police has released images of 12 offenders it wants help to trace in the run up to christmas. the suspects are classed as high harm meaning they are either wanted in connection with violent offences or known to have a violent background. the drive to arrest outstanding offenders is part of the met�*s ongoing winter nights campaign to reduce violence over the festive period. often, when there are headlines about gang violence, or knife crime, the focus is on young men. but there are warnings about the risk teenage girls face. officers in peckham have been talking to some of them about the dangers, inviting them to a session at a local boxing club. trying to gain some of that trust back that potentially, you know, some females have lost in us. so it's a really small thing that we can do, but hopefully we start changing few perceptions and showing people what we actually do as police. brentford's game against manchester united in the premier league later today has been postponed after a covid outbreak at the old trafford club. it was due to take place at brentford community stadium. it follows spurs having had 2 games postponed in the last 7 days, and qpr's championship match last night was also called off. a new social enterprise cafe will open its doors in mayfair today to help young people with learning

station. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. if you take a look at some of our weather watcher pictures captured across the capital yesterday, you get a fairly good idea of what is going to happen again today because it is looking very similar weather wise. plenty of cloud here in stoke newington, cloudy skies in richmond, a bit of brightness on offer in twickenham. we could see some brighter spells perhaps developed again today. once again a very mild start to the morning, temperatures and high single figures, it is grey, misty and murky out there. a few spots of light patchy drizzle from the thickness of the cloud but it will stay dry. just the cloud not too far away, hints of something brighter through the afternoon encouraged by the south—westerly wind, top temperatures of a very mild 12 or 30 — chris 13 celsius, similar to yesterday, high the time of year. similar overnight, mistand murky reforming, temperatures down to high single figures into wednesday morning. may be the best chance of something a bit brighterforming towards northern areas for the afternoon, high pressure dominate so it is staying mild through the week. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll be joined by peg, a former stray dog who was cared for by a british soldier killed in afghanistan. peg's just been announced as the winner of an inspirational animal award. i dug on the sofa! i love that! —— there will be a dog on the sofa! with big queues for boosterjabs, omicron cases rising, and christmas just around the corner, we'll put all your covid questions to our regular panel of experts, dr chris smith and professor linda bauld. and olivia colman is in the running for seven golden globes next month. we'll have a full run—down of the nominees and discussing the controversy overshadowing the awards too. in two days' time north shropshire will go to the polls to elect a new mp. the by—election was triggered by the resignation of owen paterson, who broke parliamentary rules on lobbying. so what do voters in a traditional conservative stronghold, who've returned a tory mp for nearly 200 years, make of it all? our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. braving the chilly waters of whitchurch. an invigorating wild swim has been a lifeline for managing the pandemic but alderford lake had to close throughout lockdown. the venue has had to adapt to keep going. now north shropshire is bracing itself for a by—election, manager kelly is keen to hear what the parties have to offer. because we are a small family run business here, and i think trying to have that support from local mps is huge, we are still undecided on what to do at the minute. there's a lot of pros and cons to each party and i think it's just kind of over the next few days evaluating the different things and reallyjust looking at that support for the business because we haven't really had that support in the past and i think that's what we're really looking for this year. warming up with a hot chocolate in the cafe, retired farmers charles and jane are north shropshire born and bred. and having lived here for a long time, you'll know it's always been a conservative mp. what do you think this time round? well, i hope similar. it's a shame what'sjust happened, but i think we put the history behind you and move forward. i think we've got a very good candidate. we've got to put everything behind it and keep going forward. if you can't keep going forward, it's no good looking past all the time, what's happened and, you know, what's been going on. as long as we keep going forward and making good decisions. and i think boris has actually made some good decisions. support from the farming community will have a big impact on this by—election. neil sadler�*s family have run this dairy farm for three generations. he wants an mp who will fight his corner. it's probably the key industry in this area. we've got small towns, with industrial areas, but farming is in the heart of shropshire. it's a big dairy area. and i think, i think it's really crucial for in this part of the world, the dairy farming is successful. voters here in oswestry and across north shropshire have a long list of candidates to choose from. labour are mounting a challenge to the tories, the liberal democrats increasingly confident. i think i'm thinking about a lot of things that are happening nationally. and i think a lot of people aren't too impressed with the government at the minute. they're not getting of things right, are they? i think the conservatives are going to have a landslide. and i don't think any of this slander that the other parties are putting down is going to have any effect on it. north shropshire has found itself in the spotlight as national political rows play out at westminster, but there is no doubt opposition parties here hoping to cause an upset are trying to make the most of that. and also, whatever the result, it will be viewed as a verdict on borisjohnson and his government. and while westminster might seem a world away from this sensory play group, the mums here have an eye on events there as they weigh up how to vote. it is a bit of a joke, the party situation. obviously we all had babies in lockdown and we haven't had family or friends visit. i don't think i'll vote. i'll be honest, i've never voted ever. i've never really had an opinion. but i do follow the rules, i do as i'm told. i used to vote conservative to think i might go- to different way this time. i'm just not sure yet which way. there is not long left for people here to decide in a by—election that is being very closely watched. jonathan blake, bbc news, north shropshire. there are a total of 1a candidates standing in the north shropshire by—election. here's a full list of them. and you can find more details about the by—election on our website. as well as a by—election this week, the prime minister could also face a significant rebellion by at least 70 of his own mps, when his new covid rules for england are put to the vote in the commons later. even so, support from labour means the so—called "plan b" measures are expected to pass. one of those planning to vote against the government is the conservative mp chris loder who joins us now. good

think the government might have underestimated the strength of family about that in the strength of family about that in the wider community, certainly in communities like my —— the strength of feeling about that. the proposal is for larger events to either have a lateral flow test or a certification of vaccination. i am of the view that lateral flow tests would be much better, mainly because if you have a vaccination, it doesn't mean to say you cannot have a coronavirus or carry it or transmit it. so in my opinion, there is a lateralflow transmit it. so in my opinion, there is a

the data is quite _ the data have to say to you? tue: data is quite interesting the data have to say to you? t'te: data is quite interesting at the data have to say to you? tte: data is quite interesting at the moment because a lot of people are comparing it to south africa and i was listening to some of the doctors from south africa just last night, offering their observations as well. i think it's very difficult for us to make the comparison with south africa. because the countries are very, very different. the fact is that in south africa, some 20% of been vaccinated, compared to far higher rates here in the uk. and of course doctors there, what they are seeing is that yes, the virus is spreading more in this variant, but actually, the effects are less. so therefore i think we have to be very careful before we go and consider and go and compare ourselves to countries such as south africa. qt countries such as south africa. of course, sorry to interrupt, i was going to say one of the way to get the covid pass is to get a lateral flow test. so why would you object to someone taking a lateral flow test and therefore having a covid pass? test and therefore having a covid

think we are in a situation, nor should we be in a country where you have to provide upon inspection, there can be from the police, and i have started to see photos, i was looking last night at some photographs coming from italy where in a restaurant the police went into a restaurant, and asked to inspect everybody�*s vaccination certificates. i don't think we live in a country where that sort of thing is acceptable or not we want to see it. —— nor do we want to see it. i don't want us to move in that direction. your point about the lateral flow tests, in my opinion thatis lateral flow tests, in my opinion that is perfectly acceptable. the covid passport or the covid pass or certification, however you want to call it, that you have to provide your vaccination status. and we are seeing that there are number of people who for whatever reason are genuinely concerned and scared about the possibility of a vaccination. we need to help those people with that concern, but i don't think we should be in a position of forcing them to do it. i also wanted to mention if i may, the other regulation which is about the mandatory vaccination for nhs staff. and i think that is another one which will cause some angst and concern in the house of commons later today, we get to discuss and debated. in some rural communities, and i think it is important that it does depend a little bit, the situations are different, in some rural communities are hospitals have vacancy get in some cases of up to 5% and it concerns me to think that we could in effect force some of our front line staff, i don't as many, but force them to have to withdraw from that —— force them to have to withdraw from that -- i force them to have to withdraw from that —— i don't think it is money, but for some time to withdraw from that and make them do something else. we are seeing difficult situations in ana and long ambulance waiting times because we are starting to see some difficulties in that area. —— we are seeing difficulties in a&e. that area. -- we are seeing difficulties in a&e.- that area. -- we are seeing difficulties in a&e. thank you very much for your— difficulties in a&e. thank you very much

with something that john is talking about. we have seen plenty of this, and another game is off because of covid. yes, manchester united were due to play brentford but they have suffered a covid outbreak within that squad, within their team, they will not be travelling to london now. it points to a wider issue in the game. there have been 42 positive cases in the top—flight, which is threefold, it's a huge increase in the number of tests and positive cases that they had in the week previously. it points to a growing issue. covid a growing threat in english football following that record number of positive cases. manchester united closed their training ground to the first team and the club delayed their trip to london as the league considered that request to postpone the game. brighton, tottenham, leicester, aston villa and norwich all have confirmed cases. spurs have had 2 games postponed in the last 7 days, and last night's championship match between sheffield united and qpr was also called off. it's raised discussions over the uptake of the booster programme amongst players, with vaccine hesitancy a factor in the top flight in the past. pep guardiola, whose manchester city side face leeds tonight, said health and safety must come first. i'm concerned, not because we're going to cancel and break maybe the premier league, i'm concerned that society still is, the virus is here and people suffer and we have seen with tottenham first and leicester, i think united, what i hear, so there are many. and some people here, the staff, they've got it. right now. and we have spoken with the players almost every day, be careful. new covid protocols are coming in for fans tomorrow. they'll have to show proof of double vaccination or a negative test to attend sporting events with crowds of more than 10,000 people in england. we are also going to ask people to complete an online declaration in advance of the game, which will have to be done for match ticket holders for every game, and for season ticket holders hopefully just once. and then once they're inside the stadium, once again, we're asking people to be responsible, wear their masks when they're moving around and also ideally wear their masks in the stadium bowl. it seems to be a small price to pay for keeping each other safe, protecting the nhs, and hopefully keeping the stadium open with a full capacity. there was a slightly chaotic champions league draw yesterday, with the first attempt declared void. i know you are chuckling, it was almost laughable at times! manchester united were initially drawn against villareal, who they've already played. so back in the pot they went, although it appears they weren't in the right pot. after it was redone they were drawn to play atletico madrid, liverpool take on italian league leaders inter milan with manchester city up against sporting lisbon and chelsea taking on lille. computer error, apparently. how does a comuter computer error,

favourite sergio aguero will announce his retirement tomorrow. he left city for barcelona less than six months ago but he's made only five appearances since. in his last game, at the end of october, he suffered breathing difficulties and chest pain and was taken to hospital. aguero is 33 and finishes his career with 427 goals in 786 games. the opening ceremony for the next summer olympics, paris 2024, will be held along the banks of the river seine the first time the event won't take place in a stadium. the organisers have promised "the most spectacular and accessible opening ceremony in olympic history". what a backdrop! flying bikes! tit what a backdrop! flying bikes! it! will be what a backdrop! flying bikes! will be a what a backdrop! flying bikes! tit will be a real spectacle.

the weather will be like in paris in 2024! but i will ask him about today! that is a bit of a long time for me to forecast! there is a mix of temperatures, mildest in the south—west and wales, and the opposite end of the scale, north wales and north england, a touch of frost, two or three degrees for one or two at present with a bit of mist and fog. despite the fact we have mild air with us. these weather fronts, a weak one producing some drizzle, heavy bursts of rain to the north, all helping to bring south westerly went to the country. there is some drizzle through the midlands, wales and the south—west, the bulk of the rain is the north wales —— north west of scotland, gusty winds. with the cold air, northern parts of england and north wales and northern midlands, there will be some fog patches. that will gradually shift, but overall for england and wales a drier day with some drizzle in the south. not too bad for northern ireland. the rain is itself in the north—west of scotland but it will come a day for the highlands. eastern scotland drier and brighter. temperatures a little high for the stage in december. more rain tonight in western scotland, north northern ireland later on in the night. further south, a few lengthy breaks in the cloud could lead to some list and fog and the temperatures down to meet single figures. another mild day on wednesday, cloud and patchy rain in scotland and northern ireland, the northern half of scotland will brighten up relative to today. a bit more rain and drizzle in northern england later in the afternoon, but the rest of england and wales, varying cloud, sunshine breaking through activities in double figures. as we go through towards thursday, high pressure building from the south and east keeping the wind fairly light across southern and eastern areas, these are the areas most prone to mist and fog in the morning. it looks like there will be a fair bit of cloud round on thursday, patchy rain and drizzle in the north and west but most will have a dry day. temperatures of 11 degrees for most of you. it will feel a little bit cooler and as high pressure builds in for the end of the week, it will be right across as meaning in the centre of it, the lightest of the wind, greater chance of the mist and fog and low cloud, sunshine at a premium but it will be h case of chasing a case of chasing chasing around the cloud. thank you very much, see you again soon. let's return to our top story now, and labour have confirmed they will support the government's so—called �*plan—b�* covid restrictions for england, when they're voted on in parliament later. their support means the new measures should pass, despite a rebellion from around 70 conservative mps. we're joined now by the shadow culture secretary lucy powell. we have spoken to one of the tory rebels this morning, and there we are speaking with lucy powell. are you planning to back the government on these plan b plans and if so, why? on these plan b plans and if so, wh ? ~ , ., on these plan b plans and if so, wh ? . , ., ., on these plan b plans and if so, wh ? ~ , ., ., , why? we will be voting for these today because — why? we will be voting

we are guided by the science. we have had briefings from the government's chief medical officer and chief scientist, and we understand that some restrictions unfortunately are necessary at this stage while we see what is happening with omicron and get more data of it coming through. so we have to vote for plan b and thatis so we have to vote for plan b and that is what we are doing today. t that is what we are doing today. i don't know if you saw the interview with mr loder, significant tory mps are —— significant numbers of tory mps are concerned about the covid passports, and they will vote against it, why have you lumped it together and say we will give all of it and does not sit well with your conscious?— it and does not sit well with your conscious? , ., . ., , .., it and does not sit

passports, thatis sceptical about covid passports, that is everybody �*s starting point. it is what has been recommended. these not vaccine passports, they are covid passes, so you can do a lateral flow test first, it doesn't have to be a vaccine passport. it is the guidance and i would urge everybody if they are going to the pub or a big event, anyway, to get tested before they do that. this just means that at those very large events, you would have to prove a negative test first or show you are double vaccinated. i understand that there are these civil liberty arguments, but it is all our civil liberties if we have to go into further restrictions because the omicron variant is raging through the population. then there is a civil liberties will affect us all. so what the conservative mps might be looking at protecting the civil liberties of a few who don't want to get vaccinated, but i'm interested in the civil liberals —— liberties of everyone so i am content to vote for this. of everyone so i am content to vote forthis. if of everyone so i am content to vote for this. if you have been to europe this summer if you were lucky enough, they are widely used, and

further restrictions? i it too much over there. would you support further restrictions? we l support further restrictions? we spoke to the health secretary yesterday and he was talking through that position the government are in at the minute where they want to make sure that they take these steps in case it gets worse, and he was speaking about no plans before christmas for further restrictions

huge target, we were calling for 500,000 boosterjabs per day for the last few months, and that target had not been met. a lot of is resting on that booster programme. none of us want to see further restrictions but we will be guided by the science and what is in the national and public health interest. so hopefully we will not need to see further restrictions but no one can rule it out. ., ., ,

venues, is really awful for them and it isn'tjust those venues, as you say, theatres and cinemas, football and others that are affected directly, by these restrictions, but i think what we are now starting to see our people are starting to take their own action, cancelling bookings and thatis own action, cancelling bookings and that is having an effect on hospitality and elsewhere. we do want the government to be very mindful of that, to keep a watchful eye on that and to assess constantly that economic impact, the impact on businesses as well. i know for many in the culture sector, in theatres and so on, they wanted a mask wearing and they wanted covid passes earlier on because they wanted to be able to give people, audiences the confidence to go there. we were saying all along that mask wearing should have continued right through from the summer to today and that perhaps would have made it less of a hard handbrake turn as we are seeing at the moment. tt’s hard handbrake

our regional theatres take 25% of their annual income in the month of december. so we could not be a worse time of year for many sectors and many industries as we are seeing now. there was some business support which has just about got people through to here. but we have got to keep a watching brief on that and see the impact of some of these things on these sectors and support them where

out for christmas lunch. because we haven't been able to do that for two years and my staff have worked incredibly hard through the pandemic with a high caseload. i think some larger events that i was supposed to going to seem to have been cancelled. and i think thatis to have been cancelled. and i think that is what we are starting to see, people making their own choices, not wanting to put family christmas at risk, so that is having a knock—on impact on the economy which is not as a result of the direct restrictions we are voting on today. a lot of people watching this morning will be worried about the prospect of another lockdown and felt it would never happen again. i know you can't say whether it will happen or not, but how do you feel about that? are you fearful of it happening or are you confident that these measures will make sure that doesn't need to take place? who doesn't need to take place? who knows? itut _ doesn't need to take place? who knows? itut l _ doesn't need to take

find, maybe later this year or in the new year that with the booster vaccination, without all that extra protection, that we can ride through this particular variant. there does seem to be some evidence that that is the case, that's why it's so important that people get the booster vaccination. and we'll hope that that will sufficient because the last thing we want to see, absolutely are things like schools closing on other things because we know it is the vulnerable who got left behind in the last period and we don't want to see that again. latte period and we don't want to see that

be strengthened with a clearer sense of what was illegal and what was not illegal, clearer sets of duties and the big tech companies and clearer regulations for ofcom and others to regulate the sector. it has been three and a half or more years in the making, this bill, and all the while through the lockdown and through the pandemic we have seen a huge increase in the number of things happening online, child abuse, racism, hate, stuck at home online, subject to many of these harms. so the government really needs to pull its finger out here and get to this bill on the statute book. it needs to be strengthened in line with the joint committee report, good to speak to you. curtis pt. are report, good to speak to you. curtis pt- are you — report, good to speak to you. curtis pt.

morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the met police has released images of 12 offenders it wants help to trace in the run up to christmas. the suspects are classed as high harm meaning they are either wanted in connection with violent offences or known to have a violent background. the drive to arrest outstanding offenders is part of the met�*s ongoing winter nights campaign to reduce violence over the festive period. often, when there are headlines about gang violence, or knife crime, the focus is on young men. but there are warnings about the risk teenage girls face. officers in peckham have been talking to some of them about the dangers, inviting them to a session at a local boxing club. we're trying to gain some of that just back that potentially, you know, some females have lost in us. so it's a really small thing that we can do, but hopefully we start changing few perceptions and showing people what we actually do as police. iam i am really scared of the police. i don't really talk to them. but having — don't really talk to them. but having the police come and talk to me is— having the police come and talk to me is very— having the police come and talk to me is very nice and reassuring. brentford's game against manchester united in the premier league later today has been postponed. it was due to take place at brentford community stadium but there's a covid outbreak at the old trafford club. it follows spurs having had 2 games postponed in the last 7 days, and qpr's championship match last night was also called off. a new social enterprise cafe will open its doors in mayfair today to help young people with learning disabilities into employment. fair shot cafe provides training, and also helps trainees secure jobs. unemployment levels amoung young people with learning disabilites is extremely high with 94% out of work. now the travel situation. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. if we take a look at some of our weather watchers pictures captured yesterday, you get a fairly good idea of what is going to happen again today. it is looking very similar. plenty of cloud in stoke newington. cloudy skies in richmond. a bit of brightness on offer here in twickenham. we could see some brighter spells perhaps develop today. it is a very mild start to the morning, temperatures in high single figures. it is grey, misty, murky. we could see some spots of light, patchy drizzle. other than that, it will stay dry. the cloud never too far away. hints of something brighter through the afternoon encouraged by that south—westerly wind. top temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees. similar to yesterday. above the average for the time of the year. overnight tonight we do the whole thing again. lots of low cloud, mr michael and mark, perhaps feeling cooler in a few spots. temperatures into single figures on wednesday. may be the better chance of something a bit brighterforming towards northern areas as we head towards northern areas as we head towards the afternoon, with high—pressure dominating for the rest of the week. settled but cloudy and staying mild. bye—bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today. the rebellion over new covid rules — boris johnson faces what could be his biggest revolt from conservative mps. the call goes out for volunteers to help at vaccination centres, after half a million boosters were booked in england on monday. more than two years after harry dunn was killed in a road accident, an american woman is due to face criminal proceedings in the uk. a tough autumn term — we've a special report on the impact of the pandemic on schools. in sport, manchester united's game tonight is off, because of a covid outbreak. they won't play brentford, with a record number of cases now reported across the premier league. and it's a wet and windy start to the debt across parts of northern scotland. elsewhere, largely dry but not a huge amount of sunshine. good morning. it's tuesday, the 14th of december. borisjohnson could face the biggest backbench revolt since he entered downing street later, when mps vote on new covid rules for england. as many as 70 conservative mps have indicated they'll oppose the government's plan b measures for tackling the omicron variant. here's our political correspondent, ben wright. it is, says the government, a race between the virus and the vaccine, and people have been rushing to receive their boosterjab after ministers warned of a tidal wave of infection caused by the omicron variant of covid. that has meant delays for some people trying to access appointments, and a fresh government call for vaccine volunteers. no variant of covid—19 has spread this fast. in the commons yesterday, the health secretary, sajid javid, said omicron now represented 20% of cases in england and was accelerating fast. the booster programme has been expanded, with anyone over 18 able to book a jab from wednesday. that means nhs resources are being switched to focus on delivering vaccines and urgent clinical care. the health service in england has been put on its highest level of emergency readiness, level four, national incident, meaning it can be coordinated at a national level. in the commons today, there will be a series of votes, beefing up public health protections in england. there will be one on more mandatory mask wearing. another on replacing self isolation with daily testing for people exposed to a positive case of the omicron variant. but it's the plan to require a negative covid test, or proof of vaccination status, to attend crowded events that has riled many tory mps. i don't think that we are in a situation, norshould i don't think that we are in a situation, nor should we be in a country, where you have to provide upon inspection, that can be from the police, and i have started to see photos. i was looking last night at some photographs from italy where, in the restaurant, the police went into a restaurant and asked to inspect everybody�*s vaccination certificates. i don't think we live in a country where that sort of thing is acceptable, nor do we want to see it. up to 70 conservatives may rebel against the government, arguing that these restrictions go too far. these votes will be judged as a test of borisjohnson's authority over his party too. a beleaguered prime minister who may well need labour mps to get his policy through. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, adam fleming.

restrictions and boosters with the deputy prime minister dominic raab at half past seven. scottish ministers are to discuss whether to introduce further covid restrictions. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, says action needs to be taken to slow the spread of the omicron variant while the booster vaccination programme is accelerated. wales' first minister has announced urgent plans to offer the booster vaccine to all eligible adults by the end of the year. mark drakeford also warned new restrictions could be on the way, saying ministers may need to take more steps to keep wales safe. there are currently 30 confirmed cases of omicron in the country. the health secretary, sajid javid, has insisted the uk has plenty of lateral flow tests available. that's despite the government website having to temporarily close yesterday because of high demand. from today, fully vaccinated people in england who come into contact with a covid case can take daily tests instead of self—isolating. lawyers for anne sacoolas — the american woman accused of causing the death of the motorcyclist harry dunn — have denied an agreement has been reached for her to face criminal proceedings in a uk court. last night the crown prosecution service said the case would be heard at westminster magistrates court next month. mrs sacoolas is accused of killing the 19—year—old in a crash outside an raf base in northamptonshire in 2019. danjohnson has this report. harry dunn was knocked off his motorbike outside this raf base in northamptonshire in august of 2019. anne sacoolas, wife of a us intelligence official who was stationed there, fled the country under diplomatic immunity. she was charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a campaign, but an extradition request was refused by the us. now the crown prosecution service has told harry's parents the case will go to court next month. as you can imagine, they're completely overwhelmed at the moment. lots of tears. but importantly, you know, of course we continue to think about harry. this is no celebration, this is no victory, but clearly, the culmination of two and a half years now of very tough, high—profile public campaigning for justice. the foreign secretary has welcomed the news. but it's not clear whether the original charge is still being pursued, or how diplomatic immunity is being bypassed. and anne sacoolas' lawyers say although they had always been willing to discuss a hearing via video link, there is no agreement at this time. this complicated case has taken many turns and faced difficult challenges. but there will be a hearing at westminster magistrates' court on january the 18th. dan johnson, bbc news. within the past couple of minutes, we've had an update on the number of people out

police has released images of 12 offenders it wants help to trace in the run up to christmas. the suspects are classed as high harm meaning they are either wanted in connection with violent offences or known to have a violent background. the drive to arrest out—standing offenders is part of the met�*s ongoing winter nights campaign. often, when there are headlines about gang violence, or knife crime, the focus is on young men. but there are warnings about the risk teenage girls face. police officers in peckham have been talking to some of them about the dangers. they also used the session to try and build a better relationship with the teenagers. we're trying to gain some of that just back that potentially, you know, some females have lost in us. so it's a really small thing that we can do, but hopefully we start changing few perceptions and showing people what we actually do as police. i'm really scared of police, i don't i'm really scared of police, idon't really— i'm really

open its doors in mayfair today to help young people with learning disabilities into employment. fair shot cafe provides training, and also helps trainees secure jobs. unemployment levels amoung young people with learning disabilites is extremely high with 94 % out of work. let's see what's happening with the tubes. there's generally a good service on the tubes this morning but tfl rail has severe delays. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. if we take a look at some of our weather watchers pictures captured yesterday, you get a fairly good idea of what is going to happen again today. it is looking very similar. plenty of cloud in stoke newington. cloudy skies in richmond. a bit of brightness on offer here in twickenham. we could see some brighter spells perhaps develop today. it is a very mild start to the morning, temperatures in high single figures. it is grey, misty, murky. we could see some spots of light, patchy drizzle. other than that, it will stay dry. the cloud never too far away. hints of something brighter through the afternoon encouraged by that south—westerly wind. top temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees. similar to yesterday. above the average for the time of the year. overnight tonight we do the whole thing again. lots of low cloud, mr michael and mark, perhaps feeling cooler in a few spots. temperatures into single figures on wednesday. may be the better chance of something a bit brighter forming towards northern areas as we head towards the afternoon, with high—pressure dominating for the rest of the week. settled but cloudy and staying mild. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. we have gotjohn with we have got john with this at the moment — we have got john with this at the moment. and we are talking about covid _ moment. and we are talking about covid all— moment. and we are talking about covid all morning but it is affecting lots of

in grounds and in training bases with spectators and fans as well. we will see them coming this week. we are certainly seeing a much bigger spike in the number of positive cases amongst players, 42 positive cases amongst players, 42 positive cases amongst players, 42 positive cases in the last week and thatis positive cases in the last week and that is a hugejump positive cases in the last week and that is a huge jump from the 12 on the week before. that game called off and it reflects a record number of positive cases amongst premier league clubs. manchester united had closed their training ground to the first team and delayed their trip to london as the league considered that request to postpone the game. brighton, tottenham, leicester, aston villa and norwich all have confirmed cases. spurs have had 2 games postponed in the last 7 days, and last night's championship match between sheffield united and qpr was also called off. new covid protocols are coming in for fans tomorrow. they'll have to show proof of double vaccination or a negative test to attend sporting events with crowds of more than 10,000 people in england and clubs are telling fans exactly what they expect of them. we are also going to ask people to complete an online declaration in advance of the game, which will have to be done for match ticket holders for every game, and for season ticket holders hopefully just once. and then once they're inside the stadium, once again, we're asking people to be responsible, wear their masks when they're moving around and also ideally wear their masks in the stadium bowl. it seems to be a small price to pay for keeping each other safe, protecting the nhs, and hopefully keeping the stadium open with a full capacity. the second ashes test begins on thursday and despite the capitulation in the first, england captainjoe root believes there is reason to be optimistic. they may have lost by nine wickets and suffered two batting collapses, but root has stressed the positives heading into that day night test match with australia in adelaide. without sounding too cliche, there were things there we just have to do for longer. and we could be looking at a very different scoreline. and that's the sort of confidence that you have to take forward. and i think that's why it doesn't feel like previous tours, leaving brisbane where we have been absolutely battered and completely on the wrong end of the result, i think we're actually leaving there with a slightly different perspective. he was always going to stress the positive, he has to going into the next match! talking about the impact that covid is having. and a quick word on us open winner emma raducanu, she's tested positive for covid—19. it means she's going miss her next event in abu dhabi this week. she was scheduled to play in a wta melbourne warm—up tournament next month before the australian open. so we wait to see if she will. we will wait to see what effect the positive test will have on her physical condition and how she is feeling, we wish her a speedy recovery, but also the consequences and the knock—on of what tournament she is going to be able to play in and when, and if

mixing i am mixing it up but always on a beach, you can see where my head lies! if you are heading to a beach or somewhere inland, a bit of a contrast in terms of temperatures. mildest in england and wales, coldest across parts of northern england and north wales. only a few degrees above freezing here. we have some mist and fog patches. we have a south—westerly wind across the country bringing mild weather, a week for the front of the south and another to the north. towards the north we have the strongest winds, there we will see more in the way of rainfall. you can see the blue colours on the chart into stating the widespread nature in the north and west of scotland, and a windy one, gusts of wind 60 miles an hour. it takes awhile to shift the fog in the south, which might your commute. most places will be dry today with the odd break and a coward. for many of you a cloudy day, not quite as wet this afternoon in the north of scotland. temperatures above where we should be in this stage of december, cooler in north midlands where fog lingers, seven or eight degrees. tonight, the rain turns heavierfor a while degrees. tonight, the rain turns heavier for a while across the highlands and islands, where it was south—west scotland and the north coast of north island. —— northern ireland. some gaps in between the cloud, some drizzle, but a cool start tomorrow morning. coolest conditions in northern england and north wales but north—west england has more cloud later on, patchy and rain in the fineness —— south of scotland and northern ireland but the northern half of scotland has a brighter day, with some breaks in the cloud in the south as well. the rest of the week, not a huge amount of rain to come, high—pressure building in from the south and east, that will keep things dry for thursday for most. a greater chance of some spots of rain will be across the far north of scotland. most places, a lot of cloud around, a little bit of sunshine here and there but any breaks by night you can expect mist and fog in the morning. that will be the case as we go through towards the end of the week and into the weekend. high—pressure right us, around the centre of that we have got light winds across the country. there could be some trust in the morning, likely to be fog patches but often large amounts of cloud. —— likely to be some frost in the morning. the temperature a degree or two above where they should be for average temperatures for december. if you have any plans outdoors it is looking largely dry. if you need a bit of a boost this tuesday morning, the knights have been drawing in for some time but they are about to end, this time next week at the winter solstice. onlyjust shy of this time next week at the winter solstice. only just shy of six this time next week at the winter solstice. onlyjust shy of six hours of daylight today in lerwick but here and across the rest of the country, the good news is, the sunset is not going to get any earlierfrom here on in, give or take a few seconds. we will see it get a little bit later due to the curvature of the earth, but it takes a little bit longer before the sunrise get earlier. so a

borisjohnson could face the biggest backbench revolt since he entered downing street later, when mps vote on new covid rules for england. at least 70 conservative mps have indicated they'll oppose the government's plan b measures for tackling the omicron variant. we're joined now by the deputy prime minister dominic raab. good morning mr raab, good to see you. just interested to know what the latest information you have is today as of this morning about the number of people in hospital with this new variant, with omicron. i this new variant, with omicron. i know we have had one death, i this new variant, with omicron. i know we have had one death, i think we have got nine people who are in hospital with it. or —— that is still a relatively low number and we are checking that but the data is shifting all the time. the challenge is what we know, that is still relatively sketchy, but the rate of transmission is very rapid, more rapid than previous versions of covid, but we also know and the positive here is that those with three boosts, so three doses of vaccine and a booster, are over 70% protected. that's why the big emphasis has been on offering everyone, every adult in the country the opportunity to get their booster by new year. that is the surest way amidst all of the other things we are talking about to give people additional protection we need whilst we work out more the impact that omicron will have.— we work out more the impact that omicron will have. reading the news this morning. — omicron will have. reading the news this morning, it's _ omicron will

morning, it's pretty clear that some of this sounds incredibly worrying for people watching at home. how concerned should we be? i home. how concerned should we be? i think people can be reassured, we had 89% of people who have had a single dose, 81% two doses, 41% have had their booster. so we go into this christmas and a very different position than we did last year. people can feel reassured, they can enjoy their christmas with loved ones. we have introduced plan b, a balanced set of proportional measures. the big question now is between now and the end of the year for those who are over 18 to come forward and have a boosterjab. because we know as i said that that is the surest way to ramp up the protection to over 70%, in relation to omicron. and this is really while weekly more of the detail around its impact. —— while we glean more of the detail. so people can be reassured but please come forward to get your booster jab. reassured but please come forward to get your

the volunteer that are coming forward. the deployment of over 200 military personnel to support that logistical exercise of getting everyone over 18 offered a booster by the end of the year. so are you saying that not everyone will get their booster by the end of the year? we will get their booster by the end of the ear? ~ .., .,' .., ., the year? we can offer it, we cannot force peeple — the

we get to a steady state. on saturday and in the last data i saw half a million people got their booster. so i think that is important, that is good news. and we will keep straining every sinew to make sure we can reach that target, because, as i said, it gives people who have had the booster, over 70% protection in relation to omicron and that is where we want people to be. to and that is

places, people working from home where they can, if it's not possible then come in. and in relation to the covid pass, let's be clear, it's not just a proof of vaccination, it could be a lateral flow test. and it's only for those very crowded places where that risk of transmission of omicron is going to be particularly high. i think this is a targeted, proportionate, balanced approach and i would

every sinew. and we need to get these precautionary proportionate measures will be ramp that up and get that extra protection and in fairness, while we work out and establish the full severity of omicron. because as i have said, we have only got partial information about how damaging it will be. i will be sat here in a few years —— a few weeks' time and we didn't take measures and he would be

to decide and take a course of action. we have focused on the booster campaign, and at the same time, take the most proportionate, targeted, balanced approach we can to the other social interventions and requirements in order to make sure we buy ourselves some time, given the rate and the spread of omicron, to provide that extra protection and work at the severity of the impact of it. i work at

tradition of liberty in this country, i am hugely proud about it, it goes to our dna. i think we have got an opportunity to look again as we always do periodically over the centuries and how we strengthen our tradition of freedom, and in particularfor tradition of freedom, and in particular for example freedom of speech. i think in various ways we have seen that whittled away and eroded, that should be strengthened and reinforced, that is a quintessential british liberty and it shows how we can strengthen human rights. there are other areas like trial byjury which are applied in different ways across the uk but some recognition like that is part of the british story. and there are other areas where we have seen the expansion of the elastic interpretation of human rights which damage their credibility, particularly the example i would give is the frustration of deportation orders by foreign national offenders claiming the right to family life. there is a good example of an elastic interpretation of rights, which has resulted in what i would argue is an abuse of the system. i think there is a much broader democratic point here, we have seen the goalposts on human rights shift. and if that is going to happen, it should be decided by elected lawmakers, it shouldn't happen because of a debate by lawyers in a courtroom. this isn't a criticism of the judges, this is a criticism of the human rights act. we can strengthen our position of liberty but acts —— add some common sense. so position of liberty but acts -- add some common sense.— position of liberty but acts

strasbourg court very late, parliament should have the last word on the lower the land. and there is a scope for dialogue with strasbourg, we saw that with prisoner voting when i wasjustice minister and we should not be afraid of that. �* , ., . ~ ., ., of that. briefly going back to covid restrictions. _ of that. briefly going back to covid restrictions, do _ of that. briefly going back to covid

with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today. the rebellion over new covid rules — boris johnson faces what could be his biggest revolt from conservative mps. the call goes out for volunteers to help at vaccination centres, after half a million boosters were booked in england on monday. more than two years after harry dunn was killed in a road accident an american woman is due to face criminal proceedings in the uk. the reality of being the victim of online abuse, as mps call on big tech companies to take tougher action the number ofjob vacancies continues to rise, and the number of those out of work continues to fall. more gaps for carers, bar staff and warehouse workers, fewer people unemployed. i talk to three bosses about the impact on business of failing to fill the gaps. in sport, manchester united's game tonight is off because of a covid outbreak with a record number of cases now reported across the premier league. while it is wet and windy this morning on the north of scotland, not much in the way of wind and rain in the days ahead in the uk. good morning. it's tuesday, the 14th of december. borisjohnson could face the biggest backbench revolt since he entered downing street later, when mps vote on new covid rules for england. as many as 70 conservative mps have indicated they'll oppose the government's plan b measures for tackling the omicron variant.

straining every sinew. we need to take these other precautionary and proportionate why we ramp that up to get that extra protection. in fairness, while we work out and establish the full severity of omicron. as i've said, we have partial information about how damaging it will be. this morning the culture secretary nadine _ this morning the culture secretary nadine dorries went further in a tweet—

further covid restrictions. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, says action needs to be taken to slow the spread of the omicron variant while the booster vaccination programme is accelerated. the health secretary, sajid javid, has insisted the uk has plenty of lateral flow tests available. that's despite the government website having to temporarily close yesterday, because of high demand. from today, fully vaccinated people in england who come into contact with a covid case can take daily tests instead of self—isolating. lawyers for anne sacoolas — the american woman accused of causing the death of the motorcyclist harry dunn — have denied an agreement has been reached for her to face criminal proceedings in a uk court. last night, the crown prosecution service said the case would be heard at westminster magistrates court next month. mrs sacoolas is accused of killing the 19—year—old in a crash outside an raf base in northamptonshire in 2019. danjohnson has this report. harry dunn was knocked off his motorbike outside this raf base in northamptonshire in august of 2019. anne sacoolas, wife of a us intelligence official who was stationed there, fled the country under diplomatic immunity. she was charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a campaign, but an extradition request was refused by the us. now the crown prosecution service has told harry's parents the case will go to court next month. you can imagine, they're completely overwhelmed at the moment. lots of tears. but importantly, you know, of course we continue to think about harry. this is no celebration, this is no victory, but clearly, the culmination of two and a half years now of very tough, high—profile public campaigning for justice. the foreign secretary has welcomed the news. but it's not clear whether the original charge is still being pursued, or how diplomatic immunity is being bypassed. and anne sacoolas' lawyers say although they had always been willing to discuss a hearing via video link, there is no agreement at this time. this complicated case has taken many turns and faced difficult challenges. but there will be a hearing at westminster magistrates' court on january the 18th. dan johnson, bbc news. mps say big tech companies should be forced to take tougher action against a wide range of online crimes and abuse. a parliamentary committee reviewing the proposed "online safety bill" says the industry has failed in its plan to self—regulate. the government says the new legislation will hold companies to account if they fail to act. more than 88 people are now known to have been killed by the tornadoes that swept through six us states at the weekend. 74 of the deaths were in kentucky, where emergency workers, including more than 400 members of the national guard, have been searching for survivors. the state governor andy beshear said yesterday that at least 109 people are still missing. we expect the death toll will continue to grow. 109

england and wales. but it's the rain that is probably of greatest impact at the moment. you can see it here on the radar charts in the north and west of scotland. as she rang through the midlands, wales and the south—west. the heaviest rain in the north of scotland will ease off by mid—morning. particularly across the mainland. gusty winds continuing. 50 to 60 mph before there is. eastern scotland is largely dry. the odd splash to the north of northern ireland. england, wales, some fog patches. this is where the chillers. temperatures three to four degrees. in the cloud further south patchy rain and drizzle. some will come and go through the day. there will be breaks in the cloud. some of you will see the sunshine. precious little to the north and west of scotland. the heaviest of the rain will ease off for a time. it will stay in the dam site. breezy, lighter winds further south, temperatures 13 or 14 in southern areas. seven where the fog degrees —— lingers. a few clear skies for south on wednesday morning. a cooler start. thank you. it's full steam ahead for the covid booster programme, but there are some differences in the way it's being implemented in the four nations of the uk. let's take you through the latest rules where you are. in england, people aged 30 and over can already book an appointment in advance using the online service, from two months after their second dose. and over 185 will be able to book online from tomorrow. in wales, the welsh government has said they will try to fast forward the deadline offering every adult a third dose by the end of december. at the moment, you have to wait for an invitation for your booster. in scotland, from yesterday, everyone over 30 can now book a booster online, and that will be extended to people aged 18 to 29 later this week. in northern ireland, anyone who is 30 and older can have a booster at a walk—in vaccination centre. you can book online if you're over 40, or have an underlying health condition. well, that rapid expansion of the covid booster programme has led to long queues outside vaccination centres, and problems with the online booking system. despite that, the prime minister has revealed more than half a— million people managed to book in for theirjab yesterday in england, as zoe conway reports. in central london, people here confirming the cliche that the british are very good at queueing. those at the front have waited more than five hours and show notjust fortitude, but cheeriness. are you cold? i'm all right. i'm from the north, so i'm used to the cold. and are you ok with having to wait this long? yeah, i'll wait as long as i have to. and what have you been doing to keep your spirit up in the queue? i've been listening to audiobooks. i've been playing some games on my phone. i've called my mother twice. further down the line, they have snacks. delivered by a colleague from a nearby office block. let me just inspect, what have you got here? i think these are some rice crispy reindeers, and some fudge and marshmallows. and what do you make of how long you're having to wait, do you mind? i mean, it's a bit stupid, though, isn't it? it was known that this would happen today because obviously we have gone from 40 plus being allowed to get the jab to 18 plus. and yet here we are five hours in, so! and who do you blame for that? laughter. i blame the fact that boris is announcing these things sort of a day in advance. it doesn't really help. that would be my blame. most of the people here have come to this walk—in centre to get a booster. the government wants to get more of the centres up and running in order to meet their target of ensuring 1 million people a day can book a booster by the end of the year. on monday, the nhs website was under extreme pressure. nhs england is urging people to keep trying to book. at this centre in nottingham, they waited up to two hours for theirjabs. we tried to get on the website to book a vaccine, and it had just crashed. so we've just come to the walk—in. you've got to get protected, that's the end of it. much of the vaccine programme has until now been delivered by gps. some now fear being overwhelmed by their workload. we have been really struggling in terms of meeting the demand from the patients. so i think it will be really, really hard, really challenging, how we're going to actually manage with day—to—day winter pressures, covid demand and the vaccination demand as well. the government is calling for thousands of volunteers to step forward. in southampton, paula fraser has been volunteering since the beginning of the year. i like the fact that i feel as if i'm contributing. i'm doing something positive. it's very easy to sit back and just watch it and complain. so it's good to feel that i can be a part of something positive. the military are already on hand to help at the st helens rugby club in merseyside. in total, 750 members of the armed forces have been drafted in to help put needles in arms. ijust believe what they say when they say that you are better immunised if you have the booster as welt _ at the home park stadium in plymouth, some people waited four hours for their boosters. even though they are delivering three times as manyjabs here as they were three months ago. in september we were doing about 5000 vaccines a week. last week, we hit the target of 16,905 vaccines through this site. which we are all really, really pleased with, the fact that we have been able to increase our capacity. nhs england is anxious that people are not

news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the met police has released images of 12 offenders it wants help to trace in the run up to christmas. the suspects are classed as high harm meaning they are either wanted in connection with violent offences or known to have a violent background. the drive to arrest out—standing offenders is part of the met�*s ongoing winter nights campaign. often, when there are headlines about gang violence or knife crime the focus is on young men. but there are warnings about the risk teenage girls face. police officers in peckham have been talking to some of them about the dangers. they also used the session to try and build a better relationship with the teenagers. we're trying to gain some of that just back that potentially, you know, some females have lost in us. so it's a really small thing that we can do, but hopefully we start changing few perceptions and showing people what we actually do as police. i'm really scared of police, i don't really talk to them, but having the police come and talk to me and show us how they are going to protect us is very nice and reassuring. brentford's game against manchester united in the premier league later today has been postponed after a covid outbreak at old trafford. the game was due to take place at brentford community stadium. it follows spurs having two games postponed and qpr's championship match being called off last night. a new social enterprise cafe will open its doors in mayfair today to help young people with learning disabilities into employment. fair shot cafe provides training, and also helps trainees secure jobs. unemployment levels amoung young people with learning disabilites is extremely high with 94 % out of work. let's see what's happening with the tubes. there's generally a good service on the tubes this morning but tfl rail has severe delays. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. if we take a look at some of our weather watchers pictures captured yesterday, you get a fairly good idea of what is going to happen again today. it is looking very similar. plenty of cloud in stoke newington. cloudy skies in richmond. a bit of brightness on offer here in twickenham. we could see some brighter spells perhaps develop today. it is a very mild start to the morning, temperatures in high single figures. it is grey, misty, murky. we could see some spots of light, patchy drizzle. other than that, it will stay dry. the cloud never too far away. hints of something brighter through the afternoon encouraged by that south—westerly wind. top temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees. similar to yesterday. above the average for the time of the year. overnight tonight we do the whole thing again. lots of low cloud, mr michael and mark, perhaps feeling cooler in a few spots. temperatures into single figures on wednesday. may be the better chance of something a bit brighter forming towards northern areas as we head towards the afternoon, with high—pressure dominating for the rest of the week. settled but cloudy and staying mild. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. hello,

hundred items by name and even get his owner a can of beer from the fridge. also, it's the new must—see thriller coming to bbc one this sunday. star of 'the girl before' ben hardy joins us ahead of the first episode and tells us about how his career has taken him from albert square to hollywood. they're in charge, what they're in charge, what could they're in charge, what could go wrong! i the number ofjob vacancies has risen again to a new record with hotels, restaurants, warehouses and social care firms think you need think you more dogs. we had i won at least three now! the number of vacancies, the number ofjobs advertised, that is breaking all records, that has launched all the way up to 1.2 million jobs on iphone. health and social, warehouses, restaurants recovering from the crisis, you might think it was brilliant because there are lots of people unemployed and lots of jobs available but it is not working out that way. who could have predicted this? from a pandemic that punished the economy, lots ofjobs now available, not enough people to fill them. this hotel in manchester has bounced back to a high number of bookings, but despite recruitment drives and training new faces, they are still 30 members of staff down. adrian, where's everyone gone then? good question. so, some went back to europe. and some people just chose, in the last year—and—a—half, to go off and do other things. some went to work at libraries, some went to start their own business, some are doing things from their own home, of course. so what are you now doing to entice people into the industry, to come to the hotel? well, firstly, we've increased all our entry level pay to the national living wage. and we've also addressed some of the key positions where we just felt market forces required us to improve the salary levels. and increased salaries in onejob market can put pressure on others. 10% of uk roles are in hospitality, and there is some evidence that that's pulling workers away from jobs like cleaning. ryan employs around 25 people cleaning office spaces, but it's not enough to fulfil his contract. he needs more. a lot of the applicants and a lot of candidates have left the industry, particularly to go to the supermarket industry, for example, where they've seen huge growth during covid, and they know that they're not going to be furloughed, the premises isn't going to close down, the work is going to carry on regardless in a supermarket environment, whereas in the cleaning industry, if they're in an office or they have been cleaning a pub, there's obviously a higher chance that they might be furloughed or potentially even lose theirjob when that premises closes. vacancies here and across the board are down to a variety of reasons. yeah, it's partly european workers going home because of covid and because of brexit. but also, lockdown led to people reassessing what they wanted out of life, thinking about the priorities. and in fact the number of people switching jobs is also at a record high. some people are calling this period 'the great resignation'. helen has lost staff at her workshop and it's starting to affect business. we're having to push out our lead times to our customers. and some of our customers are being patient, but somejust really can't wait as long as we are quoting them in terms of time frames, and they've taken their business elsewhere. obviously working in a foundry is dirty work. but we do pay more than we pay the staff that we have in our warehouse as a little bit of compensation for the working environment. keeping fewer rooms open, delaying deadlines, failing to expand, all consequences of not having enough people. and increasing wages can impact prices more generally, putting more pressure on family budgets. nina warhurst, bbc news. so when do they fill these gaps and how? ., , , ., , so when do they fill these gaps and how? , . i- so when do they fill these gaps and how? . i- , how? hospitality

as next summer because people are in training. if you look at the vacancies, many of them are in london but the highest rate of unemployment are in the north—east. it is a geographical disparity causing an issue. some of the businesses we have spoken to yesterday are getting by, but because they cannot take people on, they can't provide the services they want to and they cannot grow and thatis want to and they cannot grow and that is really important. some positives to take from this, businesses who cannot necessarily offer a key —— a pay increase, saying, may be finished early on a friday or take some extra leave, so working conditions could improve. and talking to adrian at the hotel, some of their staff have dropped the hours so they can work more for charity, people are to dramatic —— charity, people are to dramatic —— charity workers have increased dramatically over the pandemic so a lot of positives from what is still a very volatile economy. it is quite

broke parliamentary rules on lobbying. so what do voters in a traditional conservative stronghold — who've returned a tory mp for nearly 200 years — make of it all? our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. braving the chilly waters of whitchurch. an invigorating wild swim has been a lifeline for many during the pandemic but alderford lake had to close throughout lockdown. the venue has had to adapt to keep going. now north shropshire is bracing itself for a by—election, manager kelly is keen to hear what the parties have to offer. because we are a small family run business here, and i think trying to have that support from local mp5 is huge, we are still undecided on what to do at the minute. there's a lot of pros and cons to each party and i think it's just kind of over the next few days evaluating the different things and reallyjust looking at that support for the business because we haven't really had that support in the past and i think that's what we're really looking for this year. warming up with a hot chocolate in the cafe, retired farmers charles and jane are north shropshire born and bred. and having lived here for a long time, you'll know it's always been a conservative mp. what do you think this time round? well, i hope similar. it's a shame what'sjust happened, but i think you put the history behind you and move forward. i think we've got a very good candidate. we've got to put everything behind it and keep going forward. if you can't keep going forward, it's no good looking at the past all the time, what's happened and, you know, what's been going on. as long as we keep going forward and making good decisions. and i think boris has actually made some good decisions. support from the farming community will have a big impact on this by—election. neale sadler�*s family have run this dairy farm for three generations. he wants an mp who will fight his corner. it's probably the key industry in this area. we've got small towns, with industrial areas, but farming is in the heart of shropshire. it's a big dairy area. and i think, i think it's really crucial for in this part of the world, the dairy farming is successful. voters here in oswestry and across north shropshire have a long list of candidates to choose from. labour are mounting a challenge to the tories, the liberal democrats increasingly confident. i think i'm thinking about a lot of things that are happening nationally. and i think a lot of people aren't too impressed with the government at the minute. they're not getting a lot of things right, are they? i think the conservatives are going to have a landslide. and i don't think any of this slander that the other parties are putting down is going to have any effect on it. north shropshire has found itself in the spotlight as national political rows play out at westminster, but there is no doubt opposition parties here hoping to cause an upset are trying to make the most of that. and also, whatever the result, it will be viewed as a verdict on borisjohnson and his government. and while westminster might seem a world away from this sensory play group, the mums here have an eye on events there as they weigh up how to vote. it is a bit of a joke, the party situation. obviously we all had babies in lockdown and we haven't had family or friends visit. i don't think i'll vote. i'll be honest, i've never voted ever. i've never really had an opinion. but i do follow the rules, i do as i'm told. i used to vote conservative but i think i might vote - a different way this time. i'm just not sure yet which way. there is not long left for people here to decide in a by—election that is being very closely watched. jonathan blake, bbc news, north shropshire. there are a total of ia candidates standing in the north shropshire by—election. here's a full list of them. and you can find more details about the by—election on our website. we're talking a lot about covid today and it is

fearing a possible lockdown once again. i think that is the biggest fear. 42 positive cases, the record number. united's game called off and it comes with a huge spike in cases. the most recorded in a single week. manchester united closed their training ground to the first team and delayed their trip to london as the league considered the request to postpone tonight's game with brentford. more than a third of premier league clubs are missing players, brighton, tottenham, leicester, aston villa and norwich all have confirmed cases. spurs have had 2 games postponed in the last 7 days. last night's championship match between sheffield united and qpr was also called off. the most recent figures showed only 68 % of players in the top flight were fully vaccinated. and with the three month gap between second and third doses there's concern over levels of immunity. pep guardiola, whose manchester city side face leeds tonight, said health and safety must come first. i'm concerned, not because we're going to cancel and break maybe the premier league, i'm concerned that society still is, the virus is here and people suffer and we have seen with tottenham first and leicester, i think united, what i hear, so there are many. and some people here, the staff, they've got it. right now. and we have spoken with the players almost every day, be careful. there was a slightly chaotic champions league draw yesterday, with the first attempt declared void. manchester united were initially drawn against villareal, then paris saint germain. before they started over again, united getting atletico madrid in the end, liverpool the italian league leaders inter milan with manchester city up against sporting lisbon and chelsea taking on lille. lots poking fun on social media saying were the organisers of sunday's grand prix behind the draw. you have to wonder. and the former arsenal player. _ you have to wonder. and the former arsenal player, under— you have to wonder. and the former

favourite sergio aguero who will announce his retirement tomorrow. he's 33, he only left for barcelona less than six months ago, ready for a new challenege but he's made only five appearances since. in his last game, at the end of october, he suffered breathing difficulties and chest pain and was taken to hospital. the second ashes test begins on thursday and despite the capitulation in the first, england captainjoe root has been telling us there's reason to be optimistic. difficult when you consider they lost by nine wickets and suffered two batting collapses, but root has stressed the positives heading into that day—night test match with australia in adelaide. without sounding too cliche, there were things there we just have to do for longer. and we could be looking at a very different scoreline. and that's the sort of confidence that you have to take forward. and i think that's why it doesn't feel like previous tours, leaving brisbane where we have been absolutely battered and completely on the wrong end of the result, i think we're actually leaving there with a slightly different perspective. the weather looks beautiful, hopefully england can produce a game to match it. how about this for a backdrop? the opening ceremony for paris olympics in 2024, will be held along the river seine instead of inside a stadium. let's all go, let's take the sofa. i love the

after the forecast. this morning, there is a little bit of sunshine and there is some rain. we have high pressure building across the south but there is a weather front tangled in a long side, but you will notice after a chilly start it is generally mild over the time of year, pushing up on south—westerly winds. pretty gusty across north scotland and outbreaks of rain. the worst of it is easing off

high pressure building across the south and east, that means for thursday, most places dry with a fair bit of cloud, morning mist and fog which will take awhile to shift. temperatures will drop a
