covid—i9 variant capable of spreading rapidly so you have to look at leveraging the tesoro omicron advance. and a woman is convicted of murdering her partner's 16—month—old daughter. the court hears that star hobson died of �*utterly catastrophic injuries�* scotland�*s first minister nicola sturgeon has advised people in scotland to limit their socialising before and after christmas to help combat the omicron coronavirus variant. but she made it clear that this is just guidance — and that the rules have not changed. it�*s the toughest approach of any of the four uk nations. let�*s take a look at the new guidelines: people in scotland are being asked to reduce the number of households meeting at home or any social settings to a maximum of three. but this does not apply on christmas eve, christmas day or boxing day, when there are no limits on socialising. and working from home where possible has been upgraded to a legal requirement — rather than simply guidance. businesses are also encouraged to bring back physical distancing and screens in shops and hospitality venues. the measures come as booster jab booking will open for over 185 tomorrow, but ms sturgeon said that "not everyone will have been vaccinated by the end of december". for after application is pretty nice year mixing with other household again. are you in the public faces they are asking about household represent taking a grip, free of sure you go. i know this is a tough task especially at the time of year. so i want to be clear by me in making this request. one of the things you have already learned about is that it has a very high tax rates. this is that it�*s just one person in a gathering is infectious that person is likely to impact many more people in the group that was the case and is the case with the delta variant. so by reducing the numbers of people in households gathering together we help limit the extent of its spread. however, the leader of the scottish conservatives, douglas ross, said that the current situation was partly caused by a lack of speed in expanding vaccinations — and that the measures would have a significant impact on businesses. why has it taken so long for the government the first minister announced that from _ the first minister announced that from saturday household contacts for a positive _ from saturday household contacts for a positive case of any variant had to self—isolate for a full ten days. meaning — to self—isolate for a full ten days. meaning 6 — to self—isolate for a full ten days. meaning a single positive case would be to household of

you about omicron? we are i worried about any search infection rates which puts pressure on very pressurised health and social care services particularly hospital so any search no matter how small will put pressure on as we are already building at 95% occupancy and have been for some considerable time. so the rise of omicron noted to be an arc of two but maybe as much as four will really increase the infection rates and inevitably a number of people who will end up in hospital as a result of that even if they are uncertain about the severity of illness variance may cause. and are of two means one person who is infected with a can pass it on to two people and i r of four that they could pass it on to four people. do you think the advice to people is consistent. you think the

price for mixing over christmas day or a season and then we pay the price right into january and no one wants that again but we have seen in the past is that evenif but we have seen in the past is that even if it cannot be entirely consistent and strong advice that manages a delicate balance and allows us to follow guidance and we have seen people respond fairly well to the advice on trying to avoid going to christmas parties and deep—seated advice even during the last 300 people acting before restrictions came into place. so people by and large want some clear advice to do the right thing inevitably of course some people want to work around the rules but i think the majority of people in scotland particularly with complaints of a mass clearing and doing what they can to preserve vulnerable people and i think that will continue and i very much hope so and i think the guidance we�*ve had today is another way to communicate a very clear message to people. communicate a very

as a result. the christmas trading fees and is responsible for a third of our annual income and to have this impact now is the worst possible time. so businesses need a good december to get through the very beginning january and february and we are not going to get that now. it's we are not going to get that now. it�*s already written off. so it�*s time for governments to replace the lost funds on a pound for pound basis which would require at least £1 billion in support for the sector across scotland. so the announcement today of 100 million is welcome but it is very much does not even touch the sides of the supports that will not be required to save jobs and save businesses. not be required to save “obs and save businessesh not be required to save “obs and save businesses. he said the curve should be placed on the on the gravest of circumstances that he promised the measures will be reviewed. mps will vote on covid—19 passes and mandatory facemasks and compulsory vaccination for health workers. from westminster, ian watson reports. demand for vaccines has certainly been given a boost following dire warnings when the government and a tidal wave of clothing infections and

hospitalisations are low that means it�*s the best time to act. and we have seen it as an balague between infections and hospitalisations and it�*s about two weeks. when infections are rising so quickly we are likely to see a substantial rise in hospitalisation before any measure a starting to have an impact so there really is no time to lose. the have an impact so there really is no time to

vaccinated population and i�*m disappointed that we very quickly gone into panic and emergency mode so i would say to my colleagues if he wished to send the government at producing no and rethink its

weeks to come as covid—19 cases continue to rise. the official uk government lying is there�*s no planning to go beyond plan b. but, the scottish and welsh governments are considering further restrictions. even to get the current measures departments boris johnson would have to rely on a helping hand from labour. irate johnson would have to rely on a helping hand from labour. we look the

helping hand from labour. we look the national interest as he have i the national interest as he have done throughout the pandemic putting public health before party politics by supporting the motions under consideration this afternoon. we do not do so lightly. throughout the pandemic we have asked the british people make big sacrifices to support the national effort against coronavirus. sacrifices which have impacted our lives, livelihoods, and liberties. whenever it house considers such measures, we owe it to the british people to explain why they are necessary. the to the british people to explain why they are necessary.— they are necessary. the health secretary will _ they are necessary. the health secretary will take _ they are necessary. the health secretary will take comfort - they are necessary. the health. secretary will take comfort from recent polling suggesting public support for covid—19 passports but you will be facing catcalls from his own side in parliament. at asjoint or political correspondent who is in listening to for us. in an hour mps will start smoking on some of those new measures for england. we expect they will pass but one of the interesting things is going to be the size of that rebellion he was just talking about on covid—19 certification. there is some speculation it could be the biggest rebellion that borisjohnson has faced as prime minister and speaking to some of the rebels in the last half—hour and some of them had their colleagues have been picked off there is a briefing for mps from the chief medical officer this afternoon and it sounds like he had a pretty bleak message for the prime minister and he�*s been press 90 asking mps to try and get them on the side so the interest to see those numbers when they come through the next hour or so and everything will pass. one of the reasons for that is because the labour party is backing the government. i have got that shadow health and social care secretary. why is it that you think that covid—19 certificates are important here. the moment they work for people who have had to vaccines and the suggestion from the same case is too vaccines are not enough to protect people against omicron. irate protect people against omicron. we trust protect people against omicron. - trust the scientific advice and we trust the scientific advice and we trust the scientific advice and we trust the nhs and we have been clear. we will not pay party politics that these issues just because the government is having a torrid time at the back benches. we will do what we think of the national interest and on the certificates to be fair to the government they listen to our concerns and we said he could not support so—called vaccine passports where you would have to produce a vaccine in order to access venues. we could support a system where people can offer a negative test. the government listens and they responded and we can admit that i think one of the things we draw some encouragement from his experience on the content into a these measures have been in place for some time and that�*s really helped the hospitality industry which with things like nightclubs are large events we want to support business and we see this as a pro—business measure and we think it strikes the right balance of an effective public health response but also helps businesses at a busy

the threat of omicron is to get that boost their working effectively so they will support that big effort being made by the nhs to do that whether they can get a vaccine in everyone�*s arm by december

but also there are a few mps have been speaking to you who think that quite potentially this is not the end of the picture when it comes to england. they looked at the announcement in scotland earlier from nicola sturgeon and they wonder if potentially some further restrictions might be needed in england, not something that government is indicating that the moment or something that�*s definitely going to happen but a question that some are asking. the uk�*s health security agency is warning of a "very difficult four weeks ahead" as the omicron variant shows a higher rate of infection. dr susan hopkins told a committee of mps that people should take a lateral flow test before they socialise. latest figures suggest ten people are in hospital in england with omicron. our health correspondent, anna collinson, reports. thank you for being on the programme. as well as these warnings from susan hopkins. we heard the health secretary this afternoon talking about the fact that it is projected or thought that there are over a0 times as many omicron infections as has been publicly revealed so far. seller sajid javid mentioned 200,000 infections at the moment. but mentioned

numbers to gain primates without providing theirjustification. presumably the their justification. presumably the uk theirjustification. presumably the uk health security agency are rushing to put out a model but this is very bad practice. it can turn very strange when you see 2000 —— 200,000 infections every day and you just said their standing hospital, what�*s going on. he is talking about infections he is not talking about cases and he�*s talking about if they are infections yesterday we would expect us to translate into cases in a few days�* time and only a minority would get tested and test positive and then a small number of those would go on to hospital. so if there is this enormous lag between media week between what the numbers he is saying and what we can expect to observing the statistics. but when you get that number from, there are various assumptions or pessimistic once which could lead to that assumption based on the rates of infection doubling every two days. but anyway we know it cannot continue and if indeed they would be 11 million infections on christmas day and the whole country would have it under new year�*s eve so that�*s not going to happen. so it will take it off and slow down and some scientists see that already has in denmark and south africa selling to the tail off and they would be a peak of infections but this is serious, millions of people are going to get this virus. essentially, this figure of 200,000 thus i there is a lot of omicron out there in the community but you saying it�*s not a helpfulfigure and you are saying it�*s not being made publicly available. it�*s you are saying it's not being made publicly available.— publicly available. it's helpful if ou t publicly available. it's helpful if out to publicly available.

mismatch and it produces some scepticism on behalf of people listening about this. but we are very uncertain of course about what the impact even if there are 200,000 infections it�*s possible and what the impact of that will be. we know it would be a large number of infections and these are very much younger people so it would be a very slow roll—out impact from them in terms of hospitalisations and deaths but in the and even if it is a mild disease and we are not sure about that yet if millions and millions of people get it in a short period that still means very serious problems for the nhs but we don�*t know whether that�*s going to be not as bad as last winter weather it will be bad, it will be bad but with it be as bad as last winter or worse? and we don�*t know.

23 hours. the health secretary sajid javid told mps today during the covid debate that he was taking all eleven african countries off the uk�*s travel red list. angola, botswana, eswatini, lesotho, malawi, mozambique, namibia, nigeria, south africa, zambia and zimbabwe were all put on the red list in late november — after omicron was identified in south africa. the change takes effect at aam tomorrow. one thing we don�*t have to worry about a lot over the next few days is the weather. it will be relatively quiet and of course this time of the year we are in peak storm season and we will see vicious weather approaching our sure assembly have our fair share but i think for the next few days and into the run up to christmas the weather is looking quiet. we have some breeze in the northwest where we often do this time of year with wings and rain through the night around the western isles but for the most part it is a dry night and a mild night as well and temperature is six to 10 degrees first thing in the morning and the cloud cover across the uk will be variable. broadly speaking eastern areas will fare best with the best sunshine through the afternoon where the atlantic wind blew always have more crowd and the temperatures well above the average 13 for london around 12 degrees expected in glasgow. they�*ve already painted a picture of the next few days and there is very little change and it would be quiet. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... scotland's first minister tightens restrictions saying she doesn't want people _ restrictions saying she doesn't want

evening. premier league players and staff will have to take lateral flow tests every time they want to enter their club�*s training ground. it�*s one of a number of new measures agreed by club to combat the rising numbers of coronavirus cases. in the last week, two games have been postponed, with tottenham against brighton on sunday called off, and tonight�*s match between manchester united and brenford also cancelled. twice weekly pcr testing will also be introduced, along with increased mask wearing and social distancing, while time in treatment rooms will be limited. struggles for other sports too — in rugby union, one game in the champions cup was called off last weekend and now there�*s doubts over another this weekend — leinster say an additional number of senior players have tested positive for covid ahead of friday�*s game against montpellier in france. this follows four positives last week at the province. and issues too for the hosts, they have reported a fifth positive test, with the team now training in separate groups with more testing to come. so as i was saying, manchester united against brentford is off — but two games are going ahead in the premier league. leaders manchester city host leeds, kick off at 8 o clock. leeds won the corresponding fixture 2—1 last season and could earn consecutive away league victories against city for the first time in 3a years. it's it�*s one of the toughest openings, especially because they play every week in a special and unique way, and we play against special and unique way ofjust two times a year. we have tojust unique way ofjust two times a year. we have to just a few things, play a little differently against those opponents. bottom side norwich host aston villa, which sees former villa boss dean

have more for you in sportsday at half past six. that is all this part for me to now. thank you so much, sarah. you are watching bbc news. a woman has been found guilty of murdering her partner�*s 16—month—old child. starr hobson endured months of the salt and psychological harm before suffering what was described as utterly catastrophic injuries in her home. they were inflicted by savannah bracco, the partner of star�*s mother, frankie smith, smith was cleared of murder and manslaughter at bradford crown courts but convicted of causing or allowing the time the�*s debt. our correspondent reports. starr hobson, a happy little girl, seen here with her great—grandfather. but over a period of months, she changed from this. you are proud to see a distressing image of start asleep, covered in bruises. she was seen by police and social services but was always allowed to stay with her abusers. david fawcett used to frequently look after her before the abuse began and has been left devastated. i know for a fact we�*ll never, ever get over losing star. i�*m going to work crying some mornings, when i�*m going to work, itjust hits you, and you just get overcome with it, it�*s... you just can�*t believe we�*re never going to see her again, it�*s... her own mother and her partner lied repeatedly about how she had been hurt, while subjecting her to a horrifically cruel campaign of abuse. frankie smith and savannah brockhill deprived their little girl, played cruel psychological tricks, and kept concerned social workers away from her. pretty girl. you're a spoiled pretty girl. star hobson was anything but spoiled. smith and brockhill posted these caring images publicly, but privately they were horrible to her. on one occasion brockhill took star to her work at a recycling centre. cctv here later caught the amateur boxer beating the toddler. star died aged just 16 months. in the months before her death, david fawcett and his partner anita raised chilling concerns with social services. anita says, well, you don�*t want another baby p on your hands, do you? she said, how do you mean? so anita says, well, think about it, that little baby p a couple of years, he got let down by social services, so we just want you to go see what problems is here. but that was it, we never heard a thing, theyjust said the case were closed, and that was that. ambulance service, is the patient breathing? on september 22nd last year, star hobson was murdered by brockhill. on the day she died, her killer searched the internet for how to bring a baby out of shock. that was 15 minutes before she calmly made this call. she was crying, and then she stopped crying, and then she was sick, and now she�*sjust a little bit floppy, to be honest with you. i find it very difficult to believe that somebody could inflict the injuries that's been inflicted onto a child of that age. i am very conscious that they're yet to be sentenced and doon't want to say anything at this stage which may prejudice the sentencing. star, do you love your mums? when challenged by authorities, her mother and her partner lied and said she�*d fallen, or claimed complaints were malicious and from people who didn�*t like their relationship. today, savannah brockhill was found guilty of murder. frankie smith was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child. was star hobson�*s death avoidable? could more have been done by the authorities? many questions are raised by the short life of this sweet little girl. that report was by the bbc�*s danny savage. there�*s been a 13% increase in the number of state school pupils in england absent for covid—related reasons, according to department for education attendance figures released today. 236,000 pupils missed school for covid—related reasons on the 9th of december — although fewer than half of them had a confirmed case of coronavirus. schools in some high infection areas are struggling to stay fully open. our education correspondent, elaine dunkley, reports. bell rings. year three, year four, come on! it�*s been the most difficult term, there�*s no doubt about it. we�*ve seen a lot more cases of covid amongst the children — and a huge amount more amongst the staff. this is ash green primary in halifax. it�*s another day of juggling staff absences and children missing school because of covid. last monday, we had 12 staff off for covid—related reasons. you add that, then, to normal absence, that particular day, we had 20 members of staff off. i got to a point in about october where i thought, this is getting really difficult. how much longer can i keep going at this level? how much longer can the staff keep going? working in schools at the moment is incredibly tough. teaching unions are warning that there aren�*t enough supply teachers, as schools across the country struggle to get additional support. for the children, missing teachers and their friends is tough. it'sjust hard to play with people when they're all off, so i just walk around most of the time. we�*ve had four teachers in the past nine days. it�*s been hard, not having our actual teacher in. it is easier to learn with them, because they know what they are doing a lot, because obviously they plan it. hugh monaghan is the school social worker. he�*s concerned about pupil absences. fears around the new variant, omicron, has led to some parents keeping their children away from school, and for the most vulnerable pupils, it is a big worry. it is a lot easier when children are in school. if children are coming in with any injuries, we�*re there first hand, we�*re seeing the injury, we�*re recording injuries, to be able to do those early investigations before having to make a referral to social care. as well as dealing with the welfare and emotional wellbeing of pupils, there is pressure to help children catch up on learning. you've got children who are so low. year two children, these children are six turning seven, have missed reception and year one, the two most vital years of their schooling. but when we expect them to sit down and do that sats tests in may, june. it is really worrying, you feel a lot of pressure, because you've still got to get those children to that place. it's layer and layer and layer of pressure. in a statement, the department for education says it has put in place a covid workplace fund to cover the cost of schools with staffing pressures as a result of the pandemic. the term is nearly over for the pupils and staff at ash green primary — the christmas holiday a break from the stress of teaching in a pandemic. but with new variants, there are fears of more disruption, as staff wait to see what the new year will bring. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in halifax. the headlines on bbc news... scotland�*s france minister nicholas surgeons tightens restrictions saying she doesn�*t want people to cancel christmas but because for less household mixing to curb the spread of omicron. mps are debating the government�*s plans for tougher rules in england, including the introduction of covid passes to gain entry to large events. government figures show that 59,610 new cases of covid have been reported in the uk. one of the highest daily totals this year. 150 deaths recorded within 28 days of positive cover test. big tech should be poised to take tougher action on online crimes and tougher action on online crimes and to be us, that�*s up according to a parliamentary committee calling for a significant change in a proposed online safety belt. it says the dominant tech firms have failed to sound regulate and must do more to protect children from us to stop fraud and tackle races to be beast on violence against women. marianna spring has this report. from child abuse to online hate, scams, fraud, racist posts and violence against women — social media companies have come under increasing pressure to tackle crime and harm links to their sites. celebrities, parents and insiders have all been speaking out. it baffles me... some testifying to a committee of mps scrutinising an online safety bill that would regulate big tech. today that committee has asked for those proposals to be made tougher. the bill needs to be much more specific about what offences it includes, what we expect the social media companies to do in response to it, so how do we deal with racist abuse, how do we deal with abuse against women and girls, how do we deal with content that promotes self—harm, what do we expect the companies to do. welcome to this further evidence session of the joint committee... these cross—party group of mps want social media sites — including facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube and tiktok — to face sanctions and fines from ofcom, if they don�*t do more to protect users. and they want several things to be made illegal — notjust content promoting suicide, but also cyberflashing. that�*s something sophie has experienced. she was on the tube in london when she was airdropped indecent photos. and then the man who did it started to follow her. he was looking at me, he was looking at his phone, i looked down at my phone and saw the request coming in, and kind ofjust in that moment it was so unnerving that somebody was able to send me these quite horrendous unsolicited images. love island influencer amy hart, who gave evidence to mp5, fears how cyber flashing could escalate into more offline harm. once the thrill of that cyber flashing is gone, where does it go from there? does it go to physical flashing? and then as we've seen in the news recently, once the thrill of physical flashing is gone, where does it go from there? social media sites have also been criticised for promoting anti—women hate after a bbc panorama investigation, and the safety of women and children online has been a key concern of former facebook employee frances haugen, who also shared her experience with these mps. and there is an opportunity for the uk to be really world leading in terms of keeping i think on the order of billions of people safe, because someone has to stand up for what�*s right. social media sites all say they�*re committed to tackling harmful content, and meta, which owns facebook, has welcomed these latest proposals. the recommendations now go to the government, and the bill is likely to come up for a vote next year. marianna spring, bbc news. the number of job vacancies the number ofjob vacancies new numbers show, the office for national statistics as they have

number unemployed roast by 78,000 to 1.38 million. the figures hiked back to the item, before the omicron variance truck. this is regent street in london�*s west end, normally at this time the victim 11 days before christmas, it is heaving, but since the government�*s recommendation to work from home, it�*s a lot quieter, and the what the bank of england does not yet know is how this latest wave of the virus has affected the jobs market. many economists think it�*s going to hold off interest rates later this week. already, omicron is seeing parts of the economy like transport manchester a passengerjourneys are down 30% in the week so far, it�*s less severe than last but there is no furlough scheme. for firms hit by a drop in business over christmas, prospects for the new year looked uncertain. it's it�*s not rocket science to work out what someone means my needs that phrase to criticise us for messing up phrase to criticise us for messing up some simple task, it�*s not brain surgery either, but it turns out that rocket scientists and brain surgeons may not be that clever after all. a study of a00 neurosurgeons and aerospace engineers found they weren�*t necessarily any more intelligent than the rest of us. matt grayling has this report. the brain controls every single thing we do. but you know this, it�*s not rocket science. but what if something actually was rocket science? or even brain surgery? are we all smart enough or that? well, a new study says we just might be. the new study says we 'ust might be. the most new study says we just might be. tie: most important new study says we just might be. tte: most important thing new study says we just might be. tt9 most important thing to us is to find the right test. we broke that down into six different domains of intelligence, and across the six domains, we had over 300 rocket scientists, just under 100 brain surgeons completing all of these tasks. the data for the study was gathered online, a free website, anyone can take part and it sees people do a number of tests. summer memory based. _ people do a number of tests. summer memory based, summer _ memory based, summer problem—solving, and some are timed. who came out on top? well, let�*s call it a draw of the six disciplines, semantic problem solving favourite brain surgeons while mental manipulation went the way of rocket scientists. but for the other for discipline such as memory recall, there was no significant difference. it�*s significant difference. it's interesting _ significant difference. it's interesting that _ significant difference. it�*s interesting that our problem—solving speed might be a little quicker. if something is at the bottom of a deep dark hole and someone�*s brain stem, you have a second or two to decide what to do to stop that in order to keep that patient alive. i think we get used to doing that sort of thing quickly over the years. so it�*s not the way that we are born smarter and that way than other people, it�*s that way than other people, it�*s that we develop the habit. interestingly, the scores were also compared to 18,000 data sets from the general public where no difference was seen with rocket scientists or brain surgeons were faster problem—solving, they were slower at memory recall speeds. ashley now holds his results may break down people�*s preconception about the types of

his triumphant return to the stage in peter pan at the chrysalis theatre in milton keynes. but how is he finding life back in the spotlight? well, we didn�*t even have to ask! after camping outside the bbc for a number of days, and trying to force himself into the building a number of times, we finally relented and let him in. he told my colleague christian fraser all about his return to the stage and showbiz. well, i�*m very glad that you are on pantomime this year in milton keynes. we spent the programme budget on mince pies, just to get in the christmas spirit. back on the stage. i�*ll give you a minced pie. there you go. one minced pie. no, no, right. not for me. well, i guess that�*s all the minced pies gone. best of luck, mr blobby. thank you! elbow. bye. quite disconcerting. he was standing where i am now. you can see more of christian�*s interview with mr blobby, if you are so enclined too, on his programme tonight at 9pm. we make a sea mless seamless segue from mr blobby to the weather with comments. i was hoping you would be in the screen. thomas. mr blobby scares me. something in those eyes. anyway... laughter so, what have we got in store on the weather front over the next few days? is looking very quiet. in fact, cloudy and mild for the most part. there will be some sunshine abound, but generally cloudy, mist and fog in the morning and throughout the uk, it is going to eventually turn drive. this is what the satellite picture looks like right now. you can see the bay area void of cloud across the continent. this is where an area of high pressure is developing and this high pressure is developing and this high pressure will be drifting northwards to establish itself across the uk, and we think once it settles over the british isles, it will be here to stay in the run—up to christmas. so anyway difference that we have right now and there are weather fronts here, there is one bringing cloud and rain through the night and into tomorrow morning in the northwest. these weather fronts will be basically dried out by this high pressure that is developing from the south. and it�*s a very mild morning tomorrow. 10—6 celsius further east. you will notice there is already not much rain left in this weather front which is basically stuck across the british isles in this part of the uk on wednesday, just little drips and drives may be in northern ireland, southwestern parts of scotland. variable cloud cover i think tomorrow, the sunshine will be mostly to the east of the ten ninth. on thursday see that high—pressure starting to migrate. also pushing the front away. in high—pressure high pressure will sinking air, sinking air tends to bring drier air from higher in the atmosphere, squeezing the moisture out. sometimes cloud is stuck quite close to the ground. this is what we are going to see, well, not literally on the ground, but higher up. we will be looking for weather winds coming from over the next few days. within the centre of this high—pressure, very little wind to move the cloud around, so any cloud that is stuck there will hang around. one of the reasons why this high—pressure will stick around for a long time as this pattern in the stream. if you know the the letter on they got, you can see it here, that basically that pattern in the jet stream locks in the high—pressure air. once it�*s there, once it�*s sitting on top of us, it cannot really move anywhere. so it�*s going to be with us on friday, on saturday, sunday, into next week, and with that, i don�*t think the temperatures are going to change an awful lot. the good news on the weather front is at least that things are looking quiet. at six — the government�*s top medical adviser warns ministers to brace for a "significant increase in hospitalisations" from omicron. more long queues forjabs, as the prime minister says a huge spike of omicron cases is on its way. across scotland, people are urged to limit their socialising around christmas and mix with no more than three households. i am not asking anyone to cancel christmas, but in the run—up to and in immediate aftermath of christmas, i am asking everyone to reduce as far as possible and to a minimum the contacts we have with people. tonight, in westminster, mps are about to vote on the government�*s plans for tougher covid rules in england — borisjohnson could face his biggest rebellion yet.
