party. let's talk about that with our political correspondent ben | our political correspondent ben wright. what does it all mean for the government and for boris johnson? ~ �* ., ., ~' johnson? well, we'll either look back at this _ johnson? well, we'll either look back at this by-election -

in a relationship and i wanted to dance with vishesh, - so we decided to dance together, to compete together, _ and we've been competing now for five years since. _ we recently became uk equality champions. - to give it that mainstream attention and making it normal is what i think has been the highlight. so i have a very special message from two dancers that you might have seen before. sadly, they couldn't make it today, but they had this message for you. it'sjohn. and johannes. and we just wanted to bob on and just say how grateful we are that there's been an increased interest in same—sex dance classes. i mean, for us to have represented same—sex dancing has been an absolute privilege, hasn't it? it has been, and we would just like to say, keep dancing and thank you very much. thank you. thank you! that was sophie van brugen reporting. and the strictly come dancing final is on bbc one tomorrow evening at 7pm. but it will be without aj 0dudu and kai widdrington, who are having to withdraw after aj sustained an injury. now to the high street, and there were better than expected retail sales in november, as people started their festive shopping early. but what effect is 0micron having on retail in the run—up to christmas day? our business correspondent emma simpson reports from northamptonshire. rushton lakes, a retail park that has no problems bringing shoppers in. this chain is doing a roaring trade. ~ ., , ., , trade. we have been double digit urowth all trade. we have been double digit growth all year- _ trade. we have been double digit growth all year. that _ trade. we have been double digit growth all year. that has -

party. let's talk about that with our political correspondent ben | our political correspondent ben wright. what does it all mean for the government and for boris johnson? ~ �* ., ., ~' johnson? well, we'll either look back at this _ johnson? well, we'll either look back at this by-election - johnson? well, we'll either look back at this by-election is - johnson? well, we'll either look back at this by-election is a - back at this by—election is a turning point for boris johnson's premiership turning point for borisjohnson's premiership or it will be remembered as another remarkable lib dem by—election win that in the end doesn't change very much. at the moment we don't know the answer. it clearly was a disastrous result for the tories and adds to a dismal decemberfor boris the tories and adds to a dismal december for borisjohnson. the tories and adds to a dismal decemberfor borisjohnson. 0nly the tories and adds to a dismal december for borisjohnson. only a few days ago half his parliamentary party voted against the government because my own covid measures. they have been endless headlines about sleaze and standards, parties and hypocrisy, and all that fed into this boat that saw a collapse of tory support in a seat that was very pro—brexit and has been tory for 200 years. what does this mean for boris johnson? you've got to remember that only two years ago he won a big majority for the conservative party, an 80 seat majority, winning seats the party hadn't taken four years. the danger for the party hadn't taken four years. the dangerfor him as if the party hadn't taken four years. the danger for him as if tory mps look at this result and ask themselves whether or not he is becoming an electoral liability. it is a big danger. there is a lot of concern in the tory party about how the number ten operation is being run, the grip it has on events. you heard in the clip from the prime minister this morning, he accepted responsibility for this but he also seemed to blame the media for focusing on, in his view, the wrong issues. i don't think we are on the brink of a leadership challenge, far from it, but these are precarious moments now for boris johnson moments now for borisjohnson and tory mps want something to change. ben, ben wright, thank you. some coronavirus restrictions are to be reintroduced in wales after boxing day, to try to slow the spread of the 0micron variant. from the 27th december, nightclubs will be closed and social distancing will be enforced in shops and offices. the night time industries association has described the announcement as a "step too far", saying it will weaken already fragile trade in pubs and restaurants. more details from our wales correspondent, tomos morgan. after welcoming customers back less than six months ago, night clubs will close once again in wales from the 27th of december. a £60 million pot has been set aside to assist them, but it is a bitter blow for an industry already struggling. people go there in order to be up close and personal. and we know that 0micron is particularly likely to lead to superspreader events where people are packed in together in that way. as well as their closure, social distancing measures, the two—metre rule, will also be back in force from the 27th here. 0ne—way systems and a limit on numbers in shops will be back after christmas. up until then, strong guidance has been issued by the welsh government, advising lateral flows to be taken before people meet around the festive period. over the weekend and on monday, the welsh government cabinet will meet again to discuss whether or not measures need to be brought back in to put a maximum capacity on big crowds frequenting things like sporting events in the principality stadium and big concerts, as well. the first minister will also be speaking to the hospitality sector, suggesting that measures could be brought back in in pubs and restaurants, as well, in the near future. with four restaurants across cardiff and the surrounding area, the 44 group has already had 3500 cancellations over december alone. any further restrictions on big groups such as the rule of six could have a big financial impact on many areas of hospitality, according to the group's co—founder. turning a profit, it wasn't really happening, anyway. but if you are cutting groups of six and above, it is really damaging. currently there are no plans for rules on the number of people who can mix inside households. with 0micron spreading so quickly, the first minister has yet again said further measures cannot be ruled out. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. 0micron is now the dominant strain of coronavirus in scotland and, in the last hour, the first minsiter has said that the tsunami of cases she predictied last week is now starting. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie has been listening to the briefing. tell us more, alexandra. yes, the first minister _ tell us more, alexandra. yes, the first minister has _ tell us more, alexandra. yes, the first minister hasjust _ tell us more, alexandra. yes, the first minister hasjust been - first minister has just been speaking and as she had predicted, coronavirus, the 0micron variant of coronavirus, the 0micron variant of coronavirus, is now dominant in scotland with 51.4% of cases. nicola sturgeon had warned of a tsunami of cases and she said we are beginning to see the effect of that tsunami. yesterday we had around 6000 covid cases. today, there were more than 4000, although we do understand that is a bit of an under estimate and there has been an increase of 40% of cases in the last week. now, the first minister said she was appealing for people to go and get vaccinated. there was a record number of people vaccinated yesterday. she is also urging people, particularly on the run—up to christmas and after christmas, to stay at home as much as possible, to limit your socialising, and if you are socialising that to a maximum of three households. the first minister had said this is the cruellest of blows. she particularly mentioned businesses and she is due to speak to the prime minister later on this afternoon to ask for additional help, financial help, for businesses.— help, financial help, for businesses. ., ., businesses. alexandra mackenzie, thank ou. a man who stabbed one of the uk's richest men to death in what police described as a "ferocious" attack in dorset has been found guilty of murder. 35 year old thomas schreiber killed 83—year—old sir richard sutton at his home in april. he'll be sentenced on monday. andrew plant has the background to the case. go, go, go! april this year. armed police responding to calls for help at a mansion set deep in the dorset countryside. shouting. inside, sir richard sutton has been fatally stabbed. his partner, anne schreiber, knifed multiple times, her spinal—cord partially severed. after the attack, her son thomas schreiber packed a suitcase and fled to london, his car tracked by police helicopter. as they stop and arrest him, he begins to stab himself. police use a taser to stop him. his chest wounds described later as superficial. in court, witnesses said thomas schreiber harboured strong feelings of hatred and resentment towards his mother and sir richard, and was convinced he had been unfairly treated when it came to money. sir richard sutton owned a property empire, including the sheraton hotel on park lane and the athenaeum in mayfair. anne schreiber survived the attack. she is now paralysed. giving evidence from a spinal unit, she said her son thomas had always had a furious temper and had tried to strangle her in the past. the court heard in the months before the attack, he had sent messages to friends saying he had a plan for revenge, that his mother and son richard were toxic, and he wanted to go out with a bang. when he was arrested, he asked police to shoot him, saying, "i pay your wages, put a bullet in my head." sir richard sutton was stabbed multiple times, one blow penetrating 12 centimetres into his heart. doctors used 27 litres of blood to save anne schreiber�*s life. she spent months in hospital. she told the court her son appeared behind her that night with wild eyes. as he was stabbing me, she said, i felt like he wasn't really there. andrew plant, bbc news. a 27—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of childhood neglect after four children died in a fire in london. 60 firefighters went to the property. london fire brigade confirm the only people in the house when they arrived with two sets of twin boys aged three and four. an investigation is under way. the four little boys were in this terraced house alone when they were found by fire crews. twin brothers aged three and four. this morning they were described by locals as lovely, polite and well managed. really shocked, because it is a close community. everyone knows each other. a lot of the people. it is other. a lot of the people. it is devastating. _ other. a lot of the people. it is devastating. the _ other. a lot of the people. it is devastating. the scale of the emergency response was huge. 60 firefighters and eight fire engines deployed just before 7pm last night. they were faced with intense flames which ripped through the entire ground floor. the children were brought out of the property. firefighters carried out cpr until ambulances arrived. they were taken to two separate hospitals. it is there the little boys died. fiur there the little boys died. our sympathies — there the little boys died. our sympathies are _ there the little boys died. oi" sympathies are with the family and friends of the four children and everyone affected, including the local community. i know the area well. it local community. i know the area well. ., well. it will hit them hard. emergency _ well. it will hit them hard. emergency services -

in a relationship and i wanted to dance with vishesh, - so we decided to dance together, to compete together, _ and we've been competing now for five years since. _ we recently became uk equality champions. - to give it that mainstream attention and making it normal is what i think has been the highlight. so i have a very special message from two dancers that you might have seen before. sadly, they couldn't make it today, but they had this message for you. it'sjohn. and johannes. and we just wanted to bob on and just say how grateful we are that there's been an increased interest in same—sex dance classes. i mean, for us to have represented same—sex dancing has been an absolute privilege, hasn't it? it has been, and we would just like to say, keep dancing and thank you very much. thank you. thank you! that was sophie van brugen reporting. and the strictly come dancing final is on bbc one tomorrow evening at 7pm. but it will be without aj 0dudu and kai widdrington, who are having to withdraw after aj sustained an injury. now to the high street, and there were better than expected retail sales in november, as people started their festive shopping early. but what effect is 0micron having on retail in the run—up to christmas day? our business correspondent emma simpson reports from northamptonshire. rushton lakes, a retail park that has no problems bringing shoppers in. this chain is doing a roaring trade. ~ ., , ., , trade. we have been double digit urowth all trade. we have been double digit growth all year- _ trade. we have been double digit growth all year. that _ trade. we have been double digit growth all year. that has -
