a study has found that a majority of patients with long covid have still not made a full recovery after a year. long covid is defined as having symptoms five months after infection, but the new research found that more than two thirds of patients had symptoms, including fatigue, muscle pain and breathlessness, after 12 months. migrants who cross the channel in small boats are facing very poor conditions at home office facilities in dover, according to inspectors and independent monitors. a report by the inspectorate of prisons says there are significant safeguarding concerns for children and vulnerable adults, despite government assurances that conditions would improve. our home editor mark easton reports. inspectors visited the tug haven arrival centre in dover on a quiet day in mid—october. what they discovered has prompted a call for urgent government action. 400 people, including babies and small children, held overnight in cold tents without sleeping facilities, some accommodated in on double—decker buses. inadequate care for two women who said they had been raped by smugglers, and another woman who claimed she had been sold into domestic servitude. unaccompanied children placed with unrelated adults, prompting significant safeguarding concerns. and migrants' injuries left untreated. inspectors were told how one 16—year—old girl, picked up after a perilous channel crossing, remained in wet clothes for two days with undetected fuel burns on her legs, and was now likely to be scarred for life. a previous inspection in september last year, also revealed poor conditions at tug haven. at the time the home office assured inspectors that improvements would be made, with ministers blaming coordination problems with partner agencies. today, the chief inspector of prisons, charlie taylor, said this was not a sufficient explanation for why, one year later, we still found people being held for even longer in conditions that were so inadequate. responding, the home office said... that refers to controversial plans to use part of the ministry of defence base at manston in kent as a processing site for what they call illegal migrants, from next month. ministers say it will be part of a system that is fair on those who play by the rules, and firm on those who do not. mark easton, bbc news. president biden has been visiting kentucky to see the damage caused by a series of deadly tornadoes. 7a people were killed and some communities need to be completely rebuilt, as nomia iqbal reports. this is one of the poorest towns in the state. it has been left in apocalyptic ruins. many people are now wondering what's next. officials say 75% of the town has been destroyed. president biden came to see the damage for himself. the scope and scale of this destruction is almost beyond belief. when you look beyond —— around here, it is almost beyond belief. these tornadoes devour everything in their path. president biden has signed signed an emergency declaration for the state. it will provide funds for the emergency management agency, known as fema, to help with search and rescue, and provide food, water and generators. but many in this town have been relying on strangers for support. sally has managed to find her wedding ring and pictures of her children. she's trying to clear up as much as she can ahead of another storm that's being forecast. we've recovered more, ithink, than we first thought, because at first, it just looked like a big pile of rubble. but as you dig through you are able to find some things, and we have found some things that are very important to us, which makes me happier. when you think everything is gone it's quite heartbreaking. some people say they want more than just their neighbours helping. i went to a shelter earlier, and some volunteers there, who didn't want to speak to me on camera, claimed the government response by fema has been really slow. they also say they hope the president isn'tjust here for a photo op. the president has also visited the town of mayfield, an hour away. kentucky is a republican state. how he and his democratic administration respond to the disaster will be scrutinised by conservatives, the very people he is trying to reach. nomia iqbal, bbc news, kentucky. one of the weather events causing problems in the us is a huge dust storm. this drone footage

mummy, get up! this film is already doing well at awards. it's just won four at the gothams, including best picture. you got best performance. maggie had to accept it for you. so, you've flown from the states to the uk since then. did you remember her trophy? on — 0 h, my god, maggie| it's really heavy, i'm telling you! it was like you could work out. whoa, whoa, whoa, you forgot it?! i forgot to ask! i have no idea where it is! sorry. maggie... i'm so sorry. but that looks like a trophy. that's what they should look like. i don't think you can steal things from hotel rooms, maggie. well, present it to her! here's your trophy, here you go. lovely. this is going to make up for her forgetting your... oh, my god. no, it's attached, it's attached. it's plugged in. it would be a great best actress trophy. we'll have to try and unplug that. please, don't let's steal things from the room! thank you very much for your time and for speaking to us. yeah, thank you very much. the lost daughter is in cinemas from tomorrow, and is released on netflix on new year's eve. we are going to run a longer version of that interviewjust we are going to run a longer version of that interview just after half past eight. it of that interview 'ust after half past eighth of that interview 'ust after half asteiuht. ,. , past eight. it is always interesting when there _ past eight. it is always interesting when there is _ past eight. it is always interesting when there is chaos _ past eight. it is always interesting when there is chaos in _ past eight. it is always interesting when there is chaos in those i when there is chaos in those situations. sometimes they can be fixed and formatted. a little bit of chaos works. you're watching breakfast. still to come on today's programme... you may remember the park lane stable in london, which helps children with disabilities. it was saved from closure after a massive public response for donations — and today the staff and horses are moving back in for good. we'll be there when they do. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. the mayor of london has proposed a £20 council tax rise over three years to cover transport for london costs. tfl is facing a £1.9bn budget black hole and has warned of massive cuts to bus, tube and road services. the current deal with the government to fund the transport system runs out in two days time. the government says it's "committed to supporting london's transport network through the pandemic". fire investigators will return to the scene of a fire in a block of flats in reading later this morning. one person died and several remain unaccounted for after the blaze in the early hours of wednesday. one man has been arrested on suspision of arson and murder. emergency services say they expect to remain at the scene for some time to come. there are warnings hundreds of young people could end up on the capital's streets this winter. figures from the homeless charity st mungo's and the gla saw a 26% rise in the number of under 25's sleeping rough betweenjuly and september, compared to 2019. it's thought that lockdowns were partly to blame, with breakdowns in family relationships. this was the case forjadea who has particular concerns for her safety. being homeless and a trans person, it was something where my fear was heightened because i was so terrified, because i knew i was not safe and i did not know if i would be attacked. a major exhibition on stonehenge is due to open at the british museum next year. more than 400 artefacts will be on display. the exhibition aims to explore the history and purpose of the stones, and will run from february tiljuly. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. no delays there. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. a mild start this morning with high pressure very much in charge but there is not a lot of brightness or sunshine on offer and a lot of cloud circulating around so it is a great start this morning with one or two misty patches and they will slowly start to lift but lived into grey skies. the wind means high pressure gives us the settled conditions and temperatures a mild 12 celsius. overnight nothing really changes on the wind is light and there is lot of cloud but we might get one or two brief breaks in the cloud to produce mist or fog patches but not wide spread and temperatures dropping to silk celsius, so above zero. the high—pressure stays in charge for friday so still with all the cloud and through saturday and sunday but on sunday the high—pressure just starts to shift and as it does so, it starts to replace the milder air with something a bit colder so through next week the temperature is going to drop, slowly decreasing as we head through and also the return potentially of night—time frost as we head further through next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. just coming up to 630. after four primary school children died in a bouncy castle accident. (tx map) this happened in the town of devonport, accident. this happened in the town of devonport, in north—west tasmania, where children at hillcrest primary school were celebrating the end of the school year. they were on a bouncy castle which blew more than 30 feet into the air. police said two girls and two boys have died and four others are in a critical condition. the australian prime minister, scott morrison, said it was "heart breaking". the commander of tasmania police said it was a tragic impotence. the wind has caused a jumping castle to lift into the air and several children fell from the jumping castle and it appears they have fallen from a height of approximately ten metres. police and emergency services were quickly onto the scene and administered first aid and a number of the children have been taken to hospital and some are in a critical condition. this is a very tragic event and our thoughts are with the families and the wider school community and also our first responders. there is no doubt that this has been a very confronting and distressing scene. support and counselling is being made available to the families affected by this and the school community along with the first responders. we will keep you up—to—date with that story coming to us from australia. more at seven o'clock this morning. the weather coming up in a while with matt but right now mike is here with matt but right now mike is here with the sport. it's the beginning of the second test at this time in adelaide and a day night match so it's evening there already and they are onlyjust at lunch and they will go under the floodlights with a pink ball and it's all about england trying to bounce back after the heavy first test defeat. bounce back after the heavy first test

bounce back and they had a good start. a great morning session but they will feel they deserved more for all of their efforts. a brilliant catch from jos buttler of the bowling of stuart broad after australia won the toss and decided to bat but despite a good morning session it seems like the host might have weathered the storm and 45—1 at lunch. let's get the latest from australian cricketjournalist lunch. let's get the latest from australian cricket journalist and broadcaster adam collins, and good evening there. what have you made of the england star? are you more worried as

england fan they hold really well this morning and resourcefully and created a couple of chances and a couple of leg before decisions that were 50—50 but went the way of australia on the referral system and the early scalp of marcus harris and david warner is there on 20 but i like the way they have peppered him with short stuff before the dinner interval, as it is in a day night test match and at one stage there were six catches on the leg side, stuff we used to see in body—line at the adelaide oval so a competitive first session. the adelaide oval so a competitive first session-— the

start to a test in 25 years and that comes down to bowlers like anderson and stuart broad, aged 39, anderson, the oldest seam opening the attack in this country for nine decades to give a sense of his extraordinary longevity but you cannot score off a guy and stuart broad creating opportunities. it's a reminder of what they missed at brisbane and how crucial it is that they square up the series this week. a team hasn't come from 2—0 down in an ashes series since 1937 and that was with don bradman the greatest cricketer of the moral and england frankly don't have don bradman, so it's essential they bite back this week and they have a good first day and they've had a good first session. the other thing people may not know if they are waking up in the uk is that australia, you have lost pat cummins after he was deemed a close contact of a coronavirus case. what difference can it make? what contact of a coronavirus case. what difference can it make?— difference can it make? what a dramatic morning. _ difference can it make? what a dramatic morning. at - difference can it make? what a dramatic morning. at ten i difference can it make? what a i dramatic morning. at ten o'clock this morning the message came through that pat cummins was a restaurant last night and someone got a positive test on the phone and cummins was at the table next to the person in question and under south australia relatively strict rules he has been deemed a close contact and is effectively out of action for seven days in south australia and he had to miss the test match and is only in his second game in thejob and you might remember steve smith, the last time was his name when he was dominating the ashes for the 2018 sand conflict when he left the skipperjob so he returned to the job in unusual circumstances and australia having to coalesce around the captain out due to covid. flouting the captain out due to covid. why are australia _ the captain out due to covid. why are australia so _ the captain out due to covid. why are australia so strong that these under the light? ikla are australia so strong that these under the light?— are australia so strong that these under

darker and it hoops around corners so it ends up being a game of cat and mouse across the course of the five days to bowl during the witching hour as the sun sets will get the chance provided australia bat well in the second session and they will get a second new ball, so a different consideration so we know there is empirical evidence that the ball swings more when it is dark and jimmy anderson and stuart broad are the best in the history of doing that and anderson on this ground four years ago took 5—46 in a day night test match where he was unplayable, so it means you are always

of the witching hour which is why it is so special having the day and night matches. moving onto the football. three premier league games, have now fallen victim to covid — with more expected to follow, after burnley against watford was postponed. three games did go ahead last night, and arsenal moved into the top four, with a 2—0 win, over west ham united. gabriel martinelli and england youngster emile smith rowe, scoring for mikel arteta's side. southampton looked to be heading for victory at crystal palace. a brilliant strike from armando broja, put them 2—1 up, but they couldn't hold on, withjordan ayew, getting palace an equaliser in the second half. a goalfrom roman saiss in first half stoppage time was enough for wolves to win at brighton. bruno lage's side move up to eighth in the table but it's now 11 games without a win for brighton, who had attemped to get the game postponed after losing some players to covid. the old firm derby in the new year is looking increasingly like a cracker after celtic�*s sixth win in a row keeps them just four points behind rangers. they didn't make it easy for themselves against ross county though. anthony ralston's 97th minute header gave them a 2—1win — and sparked a pitch invasion. rangers were comfortable 2—0 winners over stjohnstone. christmas is nearly upon us — which means the world darts championship is back. gerwyn price began the defence of his title with a 3—1win over ritchie edhouse. the welshman — nicknamed the iceman — lost the first set but kept his cool to seal his place in round 3. there's a

similar systems were already in use in scotland, wales and northern ireland. breakfast'sjohn maguire has been taking a look at how the new rules went down with clubbers and football fans in england.

omicron's speed and spread. covid passes are one weapon to slow the spread of the omicron variant but the main defence is the booster programme — which has been open to all adults in england since

council tax rise over three years, to cover transport for london costs. tfl is facing a £1.9 billion budget black hole, and has warned of massive cuts to bus, tube and road services. the current deal with the government to fund the transport system runs out in two days' time. the government says it's "committed to supporting london's transport network through the pandemic". fire investigators will return to the scene of a fire in a block of flats in reading later this morning. one person died, and several remain unaccounted for, after the blaze in the early hours of wednesday. one man has been arrested on suspicion of arson and murder. emergency services say they expect to remain at the scene for some time to come. there are warnings hundreds of young people could end up on the capital's streets this winter. figures from the homeless charity st mungo's and the gla saw a 26% rise in the number of under 25s sleeping rough betweenjuly and september, compared to 2019. it's thought that lockdowns were partly to blame, with breakdowns in family relationships. this was the case forjadea, who has particular concerns for her safety. being homeless and a trans person, it was something where my fear was heightened because i was so terrified, because i knew i was not safe and i did not know if i would be attacked. meanwhile, the founder of the big issue is warning that the livelihoods of big issue vendors "hang on the edge of a precipice". lord john bird called for public support as high streets become quiet again in what would normally be the busiest time of the year. he said the big issue's 1,300 vendors need urgent help. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. a mild start this morning with high pressure very much in charge but there is not a lot of brightness or sunshine on offer and a lot of cloud circulating around, so it is a great start this morning with one or two misty patches and they will slowly start to lift but lived into grey skies. the wind means high pressure gives us the settled conditions and temperatures a mild i2 celsius. overnight nothing really changes, the wind is light and there is lot of cloud but we might get one or two brief breaks in the cloud to produce mist or fog patches but not wide spread and temperatures dropping to silk celsius, so above zero. the high—pressure stays in charge for friday so still with all the cloud and through saturday and sunday but on sunday the high—pressure just starts to shift and as it does so, it starts to replace the milder air with something a bit colder so through next week the temperature is going to drop, slowly decreasing as we head through and also the return potentially of night—time frost as we head further through next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the worst is yet to come — a warning for people to be cautious about their christmas plans as covid cases hit a new record. think carefully before you go. what kind of an event is it? are you likely to meet people who are vulnerable? are you going to meet loads of people you haven't met before? and get a test. four children have died, and five others have been injured in australia, after the bouncy castle they were playing on was blown into the air by strong winds. this has been a very distressing scene. good morning. could interest rate to be on the up? the bank of england meets later to determine the cost of borrowing. good news if you are a savoury but bad news if you have got a loan or a mortgage. —— savour. an early breakthrough for england in the second ashes test, thanks to a brilliant catch, byjoss buttler. but since then australia have dug in, in adelaide. and a few of you will get the sunshine today after a chilly start. for most of you, the cloud is implies that it will stay in place in the few days. good morning. it's thursday, december the 16th. our top story. think carefully before going to pubs and restaurants this christmas — and don't mix with people you don't have to. they were the messages from the prime minister and england's chief medical officer, as covid cases soar. borisjohnson and professor chris whitty made the warnings as the uk recorded more than 78,000 new infections yesterday — the highest figure since the start of the pandemic. damian grammaticas reports. it's a programme that is ramping up. vaccination after vaccination. here, from soldiers in a cathedral, queues of people outside. orfrom a gp visiting an elderly patient at home. every booster given matters because the omicron variant is surging. it will give you very good protection. already it can be seen in the numbers. a record of a little over 78,000 cases yesterday. deaths remain relatively low. 115 on average every day over the past week. the booster programme reached almost half a million a day over the same period. england's chief medical officer says think about who you mix with over christmas. i really think people should be prioritising those things that really matter to them. otherwise, the risk of someone getting infected adds something that doesn't matter to them, and not being able to do the things that do matter to them, obviously does go up. you don't need to be a doctor to think that. most people are very sensibly calculating that. that seems to be a sensible approach, personally. the government, however, is not shutting down venues. borisjohnson saw 100 of his own mps rebel against them this week of new measures. bruised, he says he is not planning more. we are not cancelling events, we are not closing hospitality, we are not cancelling people's parties or their ability to mix. what we are saying is, think carefully before you go. what kind of an event is it? are you likely to meet people who are vulnerable? are you going to meet loads of people you haven't met before? and get a test. mrjohnson believes those measures, like covid passes for big gatherings, are enough for now. but from the top of the nhs in england, more caution. my advice would be if you are going to go to a stadium at the weekend, make it one where you can get your vaccine, or help out to give a vaccine, rather than going to watch a match. to that point, if you are a role model in society, please get your vaccine, because it is dependent on all of us to show the way right now, and to make decisions that help to protect society. the reason for the caution, no one knows yet how the surge will impact the nhs. but the worst case scenario is of even more pressure than it saw last winter. damian grammaticas, bbc news. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is in westminster. we have got a number of things the government is trying to conjure with. the infection rate, the hospitalisations. we have the booster race and the economy? yeah, and ou booster race and the economy? yeah, and you can —

significant safeguarding concerns for children and vulnerable adults at the tug haven arrival centre in dover. the home office said it had made improvements since the inspections took place. president biden has been visiting kentucky to see the damage caused by a series of deadly tornadoes. 7a people were killed and some communities need to be completely rebuilt, as nomia iqbal reports. this is one of the poorest towns in the state. it has been left in apocalyptic ruins. many people are now wondering what's next. officials say 75% of the town has been destroyed. president biden came to see the damage for himself. the scope and scale of this destruction is almost beyond belief. when you look around here, it is almost beyond belief. these tornadoes devour everything in their path. president biden has signed signed an emergency declaration for the state. it will provide funds for the emergency management agency, known as fema, to help with search and rescue, and provide food, water and generators. but many in this town have been relying on strangers for support. sally has managed to find her wedding ring and pictures of her children. she's trying to clear up as much as she can ahead of another storm that's being forecast. we've recovered more, ithink, than we first thought, because at first, it just looked like a big pile of rubble. but as you dig through you are able to find some things, and we have found some things that are very important to us, which makes me happier. when you think everything is gone it's quite heartbreaking. some people say they want more than just their neighbours helping. i went to a shelter earlier, and some volunteers there, who didn't want to speak to me on camera, claimed the government response by fema has been really slow. they also say they hope the president isn'tjust here for a photo op. the president has also visited the town of mayfield, an hour away. kentucky is a republican state. how he and his democratic administration respond to the disaster will be scrutinised by conservatives, the very people he is trying to reach. nomia iqbal, bbc news, kentucky. 11 minutes past seven is the time. matt is looking at the weather. we should be very grateful, very subtle compared to so many other places in the world at the moment? we certainly should be. there are some big storms around in the next few days in kentucky. that

dame rachel de souza says young people want their parents to broach these topics. she's written a new guide — with the help of teenagers and young adults. the overriding message from the group of 16 to 21—year—olds consulted was to talk early, talk often. parents are advised to keep the conversation going to ensure there is no awkwardness or taboo subjects. it also suggests that parents should start speaking to their child about the risks of sharing pictures when they first give them a phone — and they should explain to their child early on that they might be sent naked pictures. dame

maybe a lot— wrong, they might open up to you. maybe a lot of parents know instinctively the right thing to do, but that doesn't make it necessarily any easier when the conversation happens. and i am guessing from what you are hearing, and people will know those watching this morning, is to somehow make conversations like that incidental rather than, ok, let's sit down at seven o'clock tonight, and we will have a conversation about a difficult subject. it becomes a part of the things you would normally talk about? 50 things you would normally talk about? ., ~ ., about? so right, charlie. and

nonetheless, economists think even if it doesn't happen today, a rate rise if it doesn't happen today, a rate rise is— if it doesn't happen today, a rate rise is on— if it doesn't happen today, a rate rise is on the cards pretty soon. interest — rise is on the cards pretty soon. interest rates in the uk are at an historic low. when the bank of england does start to raise interest rates, we think rates will remain low for the long term, even though they are going to be higher throughout the period. for example, expect the first interest rate hike to be 2.1%. i will have to go higher from there. but we really don't think rates will end up higher than what they were before the pandemic, and certainly not in the foreseeable future. so, what could it mean if we get a rate rise _ so, what could it mean if we get a rate rise today, or maybe next month? — rate rise today, or maybe next month? fora start, if you rate rise today, or maybe next month? for a start, if you are a borrower. —

of omicron, the covid variant, and the impact it may have on potential lockdowns, restrictions, hospitality being concerned, and the bank of england has to take this into consideration as well, the impact on the economy? yes, i mean, so much has changed since _ yes, i mean, so much has changed since they— yes, i mean, so much has changed since they had their last meeting, when _ since they had

news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. the mayor of london has proposed a £20 council tax rise over three years to cover transport for london costs. tfl is facing a £1.9bn budget black hole and has warned of massive cuts to bus, tube and road services. the current deal with the government to fund the transport system runs out in two days time. the government says it's "committed to supporting london's transport network through the pandemic". fire investigators will return to the scene of a fire in a block of flats in reading later this morning. one person died and several remain unaccounted for after the blaze in the early hours of wednesday. one man has been arrested on suspision of arson and murder. emergency services say they expect to remain at the scene for some time to come. there are warnings hundreds of young people could end up on the capital's streets this winter. figures from the homeless charity st mungo's and the gla saw a 26% rise in the number of under 25's sleeping rough betweenjuly and september compared to 2019. it's thought that lockdowns were partly to blame, with breakdowns in family relationships. this was the case forjadea who has particular concerns for her safety. being homeless and a trans person, it was something where my fear was heightened because i was so terrified, because i knew i was not safe and i did not know if i would be attacked. a major exhibition on stonehenge is due to open at the british museum next year. more than four hundred artefacts will be on display. the exhibition aims to explore the history and purpose of the stones, and will run from february tiljuly. well if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. currently, all lines are wanting a good service. good morning. a mild start this morning with high pressure very much in charge but there is not a lot of brightness or sunshine on offer and a lot of cloud circulating around, so it is a grey start this morning with one or two misty patches and they will slowly start to lift but lift into grey skies. the wind means high pressure gives us the settled conditions and temperatures a mild 12 celsius. overnight nothing really changes, the wind is light and there is lot of cloud but we might get one or two brief breaks in the cloud to produce mist or fog patches but not wide spread and temperatures dropping to six celsius, so above zero. the high—pressure stays in charge for friday so still with all the cloud and through saturday and sunday but on sunday the high—pressure just starts to shift and as it does so, it starts to replace the milder air with something a bit colder so through next week the temperature is going to drop, slowly decreasing as we head through and also the return potentially of night—time frost as we head further through next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we all know there's never a good time to test positive for covid but for the 79,000 people who did so yesterday there was an extra sting in the tail. their ten—day isolation period will include christmas day. of course, that will also apply to anyone who tests positive over the coming days. we've been speaking to a couple of people who received the bad news yesterday. it's really disappointing. i work in a secondary school and i've

professor andrew hayward is an epidemiologist and a member of the scientific advisory group for emergencies. he joins us from newcastle. good morning to you, professor. there will be a lot of people scratching their heads in the next few weeks so can you take us to some of the basics on the numbers. people will have their heads in the number from yesterday, the 78,000 number, so where are we going from here, and what is the picture that has been painted by scientists?— painted by scientists? before i start, painted by scientists? before i start. i'm _ painted by scientists? before i start. i'm i'm _ painted by scientists? before i start, i'm i'm a _ painted by scientists? before i start, i'm i'm a member- painted by scientists? before i start, i'm i'm a member of. painted by scientists? before i start, i'm i'm a member of a l start, i'm i'm a member ofa different committee and i'm speaking on behalf of myself rather than any committee bit if you think about 75,000 positive tests yesterday that is probably only about half or maybe fewer than people who do have covid who ever get tested, so may be about hundred and 50,000 people or more and we know it's doubling every two days, so in two days' time it will be 250,000, four days 300,000, then 600,000, 1.2 million if it be 250,000, four days 300,000, then 600,000,1.2 million if it doubles at the same rate, so you can see from the maths that this is an extraordinary number of cases on our way because the strain is so highly transmissible and it certainly escapes with immunity related to just the two doses, much better with three doses, so that is going to lead to a huge wave of infection and the way i think of it is, if you think about getting a years worth of rain over a month, you will get flooding and potentially severe flooding, no matter how short up your defences are and that is the concern, a huge wave is going to cause lots of people to be off work and having to isolate, which is going to cause disruption and it's also going to cause a spill—over into people going to hospital and the rate at which it spills over is uncertain because we don't know exactly how severe it is yet but we've no particular reason to think it's less severe than previous strains. we know covid will always be less severe if you've been immunised but it might be that rather than the strain itself that is making a lot of cases looked less severe. ~ ~ ., ., , severe. when will we know how severe this is in terms — severe. when will we know how severe this is in terms of— severe. when will we know how

the rise in the number of cases on the rise in the number of hospitalisations and probably a three week lag for deaths, so we have to wait for that information to come in but around about christmas and early new year we should have much better information on that. the trouble is, if you wait until then and don't do anything to reduce the spread, you are in a much worse situation than if you take action now.— if you take action now. regarding the numbers. _ if you take action now. regarding the numbers, we _ if you take action now. regarding the numbers, we understand, - if you take action now. regarding | the numbers, we understand, the health editor understands, that at the moment, to say for example you had covid last year and you get it again this year, your case is not recorded as

previously looked at thinking that unless somebody has had more than 90 days since their last infection, it's unlikely to be a reinfection. i don't think that is going to make a substantial difference to the numbers and i think what will make bigger difference is the capacity of the testing system, so at the moment we have the ability to test about 600,000 tests a day and we are soon going to exceed the numberjust in cases alone, so counting the cases will become hard. flan cases alone, so counting the cases will become hard.— will become hard. can i ask you about the _ will become hard.

and she will know very well that covid, particularly the new variant, makes no odds what time of year it is whether it's easter, mid—summer or winter, whether it's christmas, so how much do you fear that some of the political decisions about restrictions are geared around christmas and not about what is the correct thing to do?— correct thing to do? well, knowing what the correct _ correct thing to do? well, knowing what the correct thing _ correct thing to do? well, knowing what the correct thing to _ correct thing to do? well, knowing what the correct thing to do - correct thing to do? well, knowing what the correct thing to do is - what the correct thing to do is always a balance, if you like, between the impact on the economy, the impact on people's social lives and the impact on the virus and subsequent hospitalisation, so in some ways that balance is slightly different at christmas because so many people will see that their income is dependent on, surround christmas time, particularly the hospitality sector and shops and also people want to socialise, so the balance is different and it's always a balance, but however, i think the scale of the potential problem that we are looking at here does mean that we need to bite the bullet and we need to tell people that there are two really important things here and one is to get boosted, and the other, if we want to slow it down because boosters will take a while to deliver and a while for the immunity, a couple of weeks for the immunity to develop well, so if we want to slow it down now, what we need to do is reduce the number of contacts we have and avoid crowded spaces with lots of people in them. and unfortunately it means parties etc. so that's a difficult message. that's precisely not what the prime minister said. so are you suggesting what he is saying is not helpful? i are you suggesting what he is saying is not helpful?— is not helpful? i am 'ust a scientist fl is not helpful? i am 'ust a scientist but i is not helpful? i am 'ust a scientist but i * is not helpful? i am 'ust a scientist but i see b is not helpful? i am 'ust a scientist but i see a h is not helpful? i am just a i scientist but i see a potential problem coming here. i personally think the communication in scotland has been clear on this and very upfront that there is a big problem coming and that will be a big problem to the health service and people can help with this by reducing the amount of contact they have and i have not heard that said clearly here. and the only time it was said was byjenny harries a few weeks ago

because of this big threat, and also i think what chris whitty was getting at last night, for simple, practical reasons that you are also talking about earlier in your programme, if you want to go home and visit yourfamily programme, if you want to go home and visit your family for christmas that could well be, your plans can be disrupted by catching covid in the next few days and it's more important to think that what we do now will affect how many people see in the new year in hospital because there is a delay between our actions now and the number of hospitalisations. now and the number of hos-italisations. ., , hospitalisations. professor, can i ask ou hospitalisations. professor, can i ask you because _ hospitalisations. professor, can i ask you because we _

and everyone can work out the maths, that rises even quicker after that. work out the maths, that rises even quickerafterthat. some work out the maths, that rises even quicker after that. some people say well, there comes a point when, frankly, most people will have a form of covid and then what? don’t form of covid and then what? don't forvet, we form of covid and then what? don't forget. we are _ form of covid and then what? don't forget, we are in _ form of covid and then what? don't forget, we are in this _ form of covid and then what? don't forget, we are in this race - form of covid and then what? dm�*t forget, we are in this race against the vaccine and the virus and so the more people who have that third dose and we're pretty confident that the third dose going to provide at least 75% protection against infection and much better protection against severe disease, so that will slow it down and the point is that even though we have ambitious targets to vaccinate everyone by the end of the year, it's likely the vaccination campaign will need to carry on early into next year and that is not going to make the immediate difference now, so i think what is really important here is to try, and sometimes it's not so much about how many people in the end get covid comments about how many people get covid all at one time because of it all comes at once, that is when the nhs, whose already immensely stretched is going to start having to cancel huge amounts of their services and they won't get through the backlog and if it gets too busy it will affect the safety of care.

expected to follow, after burnley against watford was postponed. three games did go ahead last night, and arsenal moved into the top four, ahead of west ham, with a 2—0 win, over the hammers. gabriel martinelli and england youngster, with the visitors down to 10 men. southampton looked to be heading for a rare victory at crystal palace. a brilliant strike from armando broja, put them 2—1 up, but they couldn't hold on, withjordan ayew getting palace an equaliser in the second half. a goalfrom roman saiss, in first half stoppage time was enough for wolves to win at brighton...enough to move wolves, up to eighth in the table but it's now 11 games without a win for brighton, who had attemped to get the game postponed, after losing some players to covid. in the scottish premiership, celtic�*s sixth win in a row, keeps them just four points behind rangers. they didn't make it easy for themselves against ross county though. anthony ralston's 97th minute header gave them a 2—1win — and sparked a pitch invasion. rangers themselves, were comfortable 2—0 winners over stjohnstone. we are still watching the cricket and thinking anytime now could be that moment. the catch will be

hurricane is set to push on across the southern philippines and is approaching landfall, with sustained winds of around 130 miles an hour and gusts of winds up to 180 and the city with a population over hundred and 17,000 is in the firing line and is set to cause devastation and it's just over eight years since the same areas were hit by a typhoon and we will hear more on that in the next few days but things closer to our shores are much quieter. high pressure building from the south across parts of western europe and it will edge the cloud which is sitting across scotland and producing outbreaks of rain across the highlands and islands and a bit of a breeze but gentle winds elsewhere and across eastern scotland, may be eastern england and integration manchester we have clear skies and temperatures onlyjust above freezing that the best of the morning sunshine means it will become more limited to eastern parts but even though it's cloudy for many, drying out across the highlands and another mild one, between ten and 12 degrees this afternoon. into the evening and overnight the cloud is sitting in place for most and there will be clear skies east of scotland and through eastern counties of england and not quite the clear skies we have the night gone but aberdeenshire down to the north—east could see temperatures close enough for a touch of frost and a bit of mist and fog but as we go through friday and into the weekend, the high pressure setting up a stall across the uk and because it's over us whatever we have not we will stick with and there will be light winds so nothing will move around much so plenty of cloud on friday and a few limited sunny breaks in the north—east of england and the best is across the channel lines on friday and it's starting to feel cooler and the cloud will sit in place this weekend and most will stay dry and it's going to be fairly grey and slowly turning cooler. that's how it's looking. there's just two days until the strictly

going to meet loads of people you haven't met before? and get a test. four children have died, and five others have been injured in australia, after the bouncy castle they were playing on was blown

getting on top, with david warner reaching his half century, in what's turning into a tough day for the bowlers. olivia colman and maggie gyllenhaal team up for their new film — they tell breakfast how they bonded over champagne and cheeky texts. i hope you likely colour grey because it be the dominant sky colour over the next few days. could there be a hint of white in the forecast as we head towards christmas? details in the next hour. good morning. it's thursday, december the 16th. our top story. think carefully before going to pubs and restaurants this christmas — and don't mix with people you don't have to. they were the messages from the prime minister and england's chief medical officer, as covid cases soar. borisjohnson and professor chris whitty made the warnings as the uk recorded more than 78,000 new infections yesterday — the highest figure since the start of the pandemic. damian grammaticas reports. it's a programme that is ramping up. vaccination after vaccination. here, from soldiers in a cathedral, queues of people outside. 0rfrom a gp visiting an elderly patient at home. every booster given matters because the omicron variant is surging. it will give you very good protection. already it can be seen in the numbers. a record of a little over 78,000 cases yesterday. deaths remain relatively low. 115 on average every day over the past week. the booster programme reached almost half a million a day over the same period. england's chief medical officer says choose wisely about who you mix with over christmas. i really think people should be prioritising those things that really matter to them. because otherwise the risk of someone getting at something that doesn't really matter to them, and then not being able to do the things that matter to them, obviously goes up. i don't need to be a doctor to think that. most people are very sensibly calculating that. that seems to be a sensible approach, personally. the government, however, is not shutting down venues. borisjohnson saw 100 of his own mps rebel against them this week of new measures. bruised, he says he is not planning more. we are not cancelling events, we are not closing hospitality, we are not cancelling people's parties or their ability to mix. what we are saying is, think carefully before you go. what kind of an event is it? are you likely to meet people who are vulnerable? are you going to meet loads of people you haven't met before? and get a test. mrjohnson believes those measures, like covid passes for big gatherings, are enough for now. but from the top of the nhs in england, more caution. my advice would be if you are going to go to a stadium at the weekend, make it one where you can get your vaccine, or help out to give a vaccine, rather than going to watch a match. to that point, if you are a role model in society, please get your vaccine, because it is dependent on all of us to show the way right now, and to make decisions that help to protect society. the reason for the caution, no one knows yet how the surge will impact the nhs. but the worst case scenario is of even more pressure than it saw last winter. damian grammaticas, bbc news. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, is in westminster. we were talking earlier aboutjust what can be done as these numbers rise and rise and rise exponentially. and the message is we should think carefully about socialising, but there is obviously the message from government that hospitality and business needs to be listened to in terms of being protected?— listened to in

contest was triggered by the resignation of the conservative mp owen paterson, over breaches of parliamentary lobbying rules. covid passports came into force in england yesterday, as you'll know if you tried to get into a nightclub, a concert or a big sports match. similar systems were already in use in scotland, wales and northern ireland. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been taking a look at how the new rules went down with clubbers and football fans in england. at the emirates stadium last night, the stakes were high, notjust for those on the pitch, but with the omicron variant spreading rapidly through london, also for the tens of thousands of arsenal and west ham supporters watching. got my covid pass, got the lateral flow negative test. we had an e—mail from the venue to say to get here early at half six, but we thought it could take a long time to check everyone. i am quite old and i wantl to know i'm safe in there, so i have my covid passport here already to show. - for the first time, in england at least, entry could only be gained with proof of full vaccination, a negative covid test, or an exemption. with these changes in england, entry rules are now similar across the uk. nightclubs, many of which had adopted their own restrictions, are now bound by law. just tell me what you had to do to get into night? id and then a covid pass or a test. so you've got your passport? yeah, i had the pass ready on the phone. was it all straightforward ? it was pretty good. to be honest, i didn't use the pass, ijust used a negative covid test i did three or four hours ago. you feel safer? yeah. you are very close to people when you are in there. you want to make sure i everyone is ok to come in, and you are not going to go home and suddenly have covid. - you guys have a great night. thank you. staying healthy to see friends and family at christmas provides a huge incentive to follow the rules. more so now we are going home for christmas. going home to see family a bit. but before then, everyone is young and fit and healthy and i don't know many people who think about it. there are a few that are conscious about it, which is fair enough. i am thinking about it now, because i have to go home. the aim of the new laws, with all the restrictions and limitations placed on our lives over almost two years, is an attempt to slow down and ultimately stop omicron's speed and spread. john maguire, bbc news. covid passes are one weapon to slow the spread of the omicron variant, but the main defence is the booster programme, which has been open to all adults in england since yesterday. let's get an idea of how it's going. we had reports of long queues at various vaccination centres. slightly different at his centre in bromsgrove. kathryn stanczyszyn is at a

three years to cover transport for london costs. tfl is facing a £1.9bn budget black hole and has warned of massive cuts to bus, tube and road services. the current deal with the government to fund the transport system runs out in two days time. the government says it's "committed to supporting london's transport network through the pandemic". a 93—year—old woman has died in a collision in south london. police were called to addington road in south croydon around 4.30 yesterday afternoon where the woman was found with serious injuries after being struck by a van. police are appealing for information. more than 1,500 people have been arrested by the met in a push to tackle domestic violence in the run up to christmas. over a period of 16 days police have carried out work in every london borough. they've charged 560 people for offences including domestic abuse, stalking, rape and harassment. the force is keen to try and rebuild trust folowing high profile cases like the killing of sarah everard by a serving met police officer. everything we are doing at the moment is about trying to rebuild that trust and confidence so people will come forward, trust us that when they come forward with what is happening in their lives, when they are victims of domestic abuse or other offences that they can trust we will listen and treat them fairly. a major exhibition on stonehenge is due to open at the british museum next year. more than 400 artefacts will be on display. the exhibition aims to explore the history and purpose of the stones, and will run from february tiljuly. well if you're heading out on public transport this morning. good morning. a mild start this morning with high pressure very much in charge but there is not a lot of brightness or sunshine on offer and a lot of cloud circulating around, so it is a grey start this morning with one or two misty patches and they will slowly start to lift but lift into grey skies. the wind means high pressure gives us the settled conditions and temperatures a mild i2 celsius. overnight nothing really changes, the wind is light and there is lot of cloud but we might get one or two brief breaks in the cloud to produce mist or fog patches but not wide spread and temperatures dropping to six celsius, so above zero. the high—pressure stays in charge for friday so still with all the cloud and through saturday and sunday but on sunday the high—pressure just starts to shift and as it does so, it starts to replace the milder air with something a bit colder so through next week the temperature is going to drop, slowly decreasing as we head through and also the return potentially of night—time frost as we head further through next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

good one _ we're returning now to a story we've covered closely on breakfast. it's all about the park lane stables, in london, which help children with disabilities. beautiful story, this. the stables were under threat of closure despite a huge fundraising effort — but today that nightmare is finally over. fi lamdin can tell us more. many friends and a horse in the background, so this is a great story. anything was about to close down which is about to reopen. just about to down which is about to reopen. limit about to reopen, exactly. down which is about to reopen. lmit about to reopen, exactly. what a roller—coaster and the lot from park lane have been on and tomorrow we have the screws are the batter off and we have been about to go in but let us remind you how we got here. these stables in south—west london have been here for nearly 200 years and for the last 12 they have been helping those with disabilities. but now the landlord wants to sell up, which means the community has only one week left to raise £1 million. and they are desperate for any help. 350 disabled people are relying on us, so i absolutely- have to do it for them. we all want the best for our children but when you get somebody like dominic, seeing the joy, just that one activity can give him like nothing else can do, that's why it's so important. it's brilliant the community has come together so quickly to raise half of the money to save it, but time is ticking. this morning there are big smiles at the stables. - what a difference 20 hours makes. all day, the money just kept coming in. by phone, in person, and online. it is so kind of you. they had just seven days to raise the rest of the money and, unbelievably, by mid—morning, they had done it. when i heard it yesterday, i wasjust bowled over. i am so happy. what about the news today that you are having to close? it is awful. in a twist that nobody saw coming the final price for the stables couldn't be agreed and they had to leave. devastated, to be honest. we are absolutely heartbroken. we don't know what else to do, because we've done everything we possibly can and we've hit a dead end. and for the last seven months, they have been on a temporary home a few miles away so the children could still ride. but this was not the ending anyone was expecting or hoping for. this is the moment we've all been waiting for. go

missing two of the best bowlers for the game, pat cummins with the covid scare and josh hazlewood is injured, so england will be happy that those guys are not bowling with the pink ball because they are outstanding bowlers who can take advantage but because this is a day and night test match there is a period in between where it is dark and light where the light is a bit hazy and the light has come on and they start to take over the natural light and it makes it harderfor the batter to see the ball and it means the ball for some reason does a bit more of the wicket, so england will be hoping once the twilight period comes, it dance around a bit more and gives them more opportunities to take wickets because so far today they have been limited. does take wickets because so far today

on next week, a white christmas, don't rule it out. that's all i will say and the chance of wintry flurries but the big question is if the weather front wall, numbering some more snow in places and we will keep you updated on breakfast. it will feel colder in the next couple of days and in sheffield you have the sunrise but it's a chilly start with the sun this morning with a bit of frost and most places with rather grey skies and this is what you have to get used to over the next few days, predominantly cloudy and for most it will be dry as well. the main exception to the dry story is across parts of the north—west of scotland may be the highlands and the islands with outbreaks of drizzle coming and going and becoming more confined to lewis, sutherland and orkney and shetland and away from that you can see the cloud embrace but there are the brakes on the eastern parts of scotland and into the eastern counties of england and one or two breaks across cornwall celebrated a compared to yesterday and the afternoon temperatures on the male side with a chilly start he could get to ten or 12 degrees. into the evening and overnight the cloud remain stubbornly in place for the most part on the male side with a chilly start it could get to ten or 12 degrees. into the evening and overnight the cloud remain stubbornly in place for the most part and where you do get breaks it will be eastern scotland and north—east england and a chance of a touch of frost and may some mist and fog but over the next few days, high pressure will set up stall across the uk and will stay there, so what you get on friday you will properly have a much of the weekend meeting plenty of cloud around and there will be a few breaks on friday, the best of which is around the channel islands and eastern parts of scotland and again the north—east of england but temperatures dropping away and it will turn cooler this weekend and certainly into christmas week. that's how it's looking. enjoy your day.

girl, have i got that right? yes. and this is a film which really does explore motherhood. it goes to some places that are very dark? it's based on a book by elena ferrante. i felt like she was being honest about motherhood, but notjust motherhood, all sorts of things, i think, about the feminine experience in the world. i felt like i had never heard many of the things that she wrote about, expressed before. and i was so comforted about hearing them said out loud, even things that are dark and hard and as disturbing. it's comforting to know that other people feel the way you do. how does it compare to your experiences of motherhood? he is an extreme example. i've always felt that i'm a better mummy when i feel creatively fulfilled. so i'm very lucky i get to do both things. i love myjob. and i get to have lots of time my children. but when young leda, you know, it doesn't feel like her partner is as appreciative of her brain and her ability, as of his own. and that's when things start to go a bit wrong. i can really understand why she's, you know, she's at the end of her tether. she's not being seen and heard. yeah. that's when anyone, any parent, feels that if they can't do the job, you know. one of the standout scenes as you singing living on a prayer by bon jovi. ~ . , , jovi. when i was writing, i even put all the lyrics _ jovi. when i was writing, i even put
