another dreadful day for england in the ashes. captainjoe root gets his half century, but he can't stop the england wickets falling in this must—win test. good morning. we've got some rain, some sleet, and some hill snow around for many of us this boxing day morning. but there should be a bit of sunshine developing, particularly in the west, later on. i'll have all the details here on bbc breakfast. good morning. it's boxing day, sunday 26 december. merry christmas from me. our main story: police are holding a 19—year—old man after he allegedly breached security at windsor castle yesterday — armed with an offensive weapon. as sean dilley reports, the queen was at home at the time, preparing to spend her first christmas day since the death of her husband, the duke of edinburgh. christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. this year especially i understand why. it is a break from tradition, but for the second year running the queen is spending her christmas here at windsor castle, due to covid. hgppy happy christmas. merry christmas. her guest list is smaller than in previous years but she has been spending time with some of her closest relatives. but at around 8:30 on christmas morning a man is alleged to have penetrated the outer security of the grounds. the intruder�*s presence was quickly detected and officers from two forces responded to the unfolding security incident. thames valley police say they arrested a 19—year—old man from southampton for breach or trespass of a protected site, and of suspicion of having an offensive weapon with him. it has been widely reported that the man had may have been carrying a crossbow, but police have not confirmed this. questions are now being asked as to how an intruder managed to breach security on the 13—acre site. as soon as somebody gets in the outer ring then something happens and it triggers an alarm and the police respond, as i understand it they have in this instance. they acted quickly as soon as this individual allegedly tried to get in, then he was apprehended and that is what you want, really. the 19—year—old suspect did not enter any buildings during his short time on royal grounds. but officers investigating the christmas day breach will want to establish what the intruder�*s motivations were. sean dilley, bbc news. sean is outside windsor castle this morning.

scotland, wales, and northern ireland today. our wales correspondent tomos morgan, has been looking at how the rules now differ across the uk's four nations. another winter and another set of restrictions. social life will be curtailed yet again in wales, scotland, and northern ireland as the devolved governments have brought restrictions in again as an attempt to slow the spread of the omicron variant to ease pressure on the nhs and to give more people the opportunity to be boosted at mass vaccination centres. having only reopened less then six months ago, nightclubs will have to turn their lights off once again in both wales and northern ireland from today. some industry bosses feel like they are being made scapegoats in this latest round of rules. we've essentially had 4.5 months of trade and we're back here again. and the issue is, we are not clear when this will be lifted. we have not been provided yet with any data on why this sector particularly has been closed and what conditions will need to be met for the sector to be reopened again. restrictions on large events and spectator sports will also apply from today in wales and scotland. they were due to be 10,000 fans here at cardiff's arms park today to watch the festive rugby derby — they will now have to watch from home. a total ban on spectators at sporting and large events in wales from now on. but in scotland, the premier league have moved the winter break forward due to measures to limiting maximum capacity in stadiums there, much to the dismay of fans. across all hospitality venues, the rule of six is back in wales, as is social distancing. smaller tables mean smaller profits and two metres means fewer guests. the two metre rule obviously has a massive effect. new year's eve, we've got full capacity but with the two metre rule we've probably lost 20% of the capacity so we have had to phone a few people and unfortunately cancel people for new year's eve. while restrictions in northern ireland and its scottish pubs and restaurants come into force tomorrow, the stormont executive said they would keep the measures under review. whilst first minister nicola sturgeon told the public theirs would be in place for at least three weeks. meanwhile, her counterpart further south, mark drakeford said rules will be reviewed frequently. his next three—weekly assessment is due at the end of january. with large events due to be attended by thousands of people across the uk called off, it looks like this new year's eve will be just as subdued as the last. tomos morgan, bbc news. new year's eve a little bit different this year. also the boxing day sales. fewer shops will be open for the boxing day sales today. supermarkets including morrisons, sainsbury�*s, and aldi are keeping their doors shut. and next is delaying the launch of its in—store reductions for the first time. the shops say they want to give their staff an extra day off to thank them for their work during the pandemic. the long—running eruption of a volcano on the spanish island of la palma has finally come to an end. more than 3,000 properties were destroyed following months of activity by the cumbre vieja volcano, which also left thick layers of ash covering acres of farmland. the spanish government has pledged more than 200 million euros in aid to those affected. the most advanced space telescope ever constructed is now orbiting the earth, following a successful launch from french guiana. it's hoped the $10 billion james webb telescope, named after one of the architects of the apollo moon landings, will help answer questions about the origins of the universe from an observing station 1.5 million kilometres from earth. those are the main stories this morning. nine minutes past six.

around, there will be sungshan in later today, particularly across western parts of the uk, we have had some fairly heavy snowfall over recent hours overnight bid across northern england and southern scotland as well, the pennines we currently have about seven centimetres of snow at the moment and we will see more of come over the next few hours as well stop what we have got out there, we have a couple of weather fronts shifting northwards and eastwards. that is the dividing line. mild air working in from the south—west, but still quite cold air in place thick lee across scotland and north—east england as well. where the emesis callide have a mix of rain, sleet, and snow, many of the high ground. some snow across northern england and southern scotland through some lower levels as well and combined without some quite brisk winds. blizzard conditions for a while across the pennines and the southern upland is as well. lighter winds further south. this afternoon there will be some gentle parts of south—west england into wales and northern ireland as well. further east to stay smoky with outbreaks of rain. low cloud and drizzle as well. only about four or five degrees across parts of scotland, but 10—12 to very mild further south. into this evening and overnight we will tend to lose the weather front, chips northwards and eastwards. most of the rain and hill snow easing for a time. quite a lot of mist and fog around. we have lighter winds and all that moisture from the rain and snow. that is the recipe, something fog patches tomorrow morning. most of us frost free but locally across northern and central scotland could have frost first thing tomorrow. into tomorrow and the next area of low pressure approaches from the south—west. quite a lot of isobars on the map. it could be blustery. the worst weather across france. likely to see wet and windy weather across southern england and wales because of the morning. further north not a bad day for much of northern england, northern ireland, and scotland should be largely dry, one or two showers, sunshine developing. cloudierfurther one or two showers, sunshine developing. cloudier further south with the outbreaks of rain for much of southern england into wales as well. mild again, 10— i2 of southern england into wales as well. mild again, 10— 12 degrees. further north still relatively chilly at around 6— eight celsius. as we head through this coming week, what you will notice is the temperature, because we have got very, very mild at working in from the south—west. as we head through the south—west. as we head through the final week of 2021 does look really unsettled, look at the temperatures, up to around 16— i7 temperatures, up to around 16— 17 degrees was the london area. the highest ever temperature in december in the uk is about 18 celsius. probably not record—breaking, but exceptionally mild. with the mild air comes some rain. lots of rain symbols on the outlook. barely unsettled through the final week of the year but you will notice the temperatures for all of us are looking very mild. to you, roger. not very christmassy. thank you, sarah. it is a quarter past six. good morning if you havejustjoined us. time for a look at some of this morning's front pages. and many are leading with that arrest of a man in the grounds of windsor castle yesterday. "queen's christmas crossbow horror" is the sunday mirror's take on the incident. it says the queen was at home during the security scare. the queen and the late duke of edinburgh feature on the front of the express, alongside words from her christmas message. the paper says her majesty gave a "deeply personal" speech, revealing how much she misses her husband. the sunday times says borisjohnson has vowed to keep schools open injanuary, despite rising cases of the omicron variant of coronavirus. the paper says both the prime minister and the education secretary believe educating children is the government's number one priority. the observer reports on claims that conservative mps are telling cabinet ministers that they must rule out restrictions for new year's eve and oppose further covid measures. the paper says ministers could meet tomorrow to discuss whether additional measures are needed in light of rising covid cases. many ma ny eve nts many events have already been cancelled of course because of coronavirus. we will continue to reflect the news agenda throughout the morning between now and quarter past nine. if you've got the best cutlery out for christmas, you'd better hide it from the kids — because we're about to catch up with uri geller. the spoon—bending psychic made his name in the uk but has now moved back to israel, where he's opened a museum about his life and work. our middle east correspondent yolande knell went for a look. there is only one celebrity who owes his success to spoons. uri geller is now 75. i his success to spoons. uri geller is now 75. . . his success to spoons. uri geller is now 75. ., ., ., , , now 75. i managed to instill spoon bendin: now 75. i managed to instill spoon bending into _ now 75. i managed to instill spoon bending into world _ now 75. i managed to instill spoon bending into world culture. - now 75. i managed to instill spoon bending into world culture. from i now 75. i managed to instill spoon | bending into world culture. from a trivial demonstration of spoon bending, how did it catch fire like this?

it is their mind and have the 'ab? it is all about the h their mind and have the jab? it 3 all about the numbers and about the fact that the numbers coming out month on month on month or so clearly showing the reduction in risk to them. they are increasingly saying that although, of course, you are at much lower risk if you are younger and do not have health conditions, then long covid is a real issue and they are seeing that younger people are ending up in hospital. the age, the average age of people in intensive care has gone down and down and down over the course of this year and i think that really has, perhaps, boarded a little closer to home to them, that this is notjust somebody else's problem. it is also gratifying with the fact that other people, i've had conversations with people who came forward and said, ok, look, i was wary about protecting myself but i have now realised that i can protect other people by doing this. find have now realised that i can protect other people by doing this.- other people by doing this. and on that theme, _ other people by doing this. and on that theme, we _ other people by doing this. and on that theme, we had _ other people by doing this. and on that theme, we had many - other people by doing this. and on that theme, we had many families| other people by doing this. and on - that theme, we had many families who got together yesterday, perhaps with elderly relations, many people taking lateral flow and trying their best to be sensible. are you fearful that we could see cases rise now is the effect of christmas starts to unwind over the coming days and weeks. we unwind over the coming days and weeks. ~ ., ., ., , , , weeks. we have already been seen cases rise so _ weeks. we have already been seen cases rise so if _ weeks. we have already been seen cases rise so if you _ weeks. we have already been seen cases rise so if you look _ weeks. we have already been seen cases rise so if you look at - weeks. we have already been seen cases rise so if you look at the - cases rise so if you look at the office of national statistics survey which is not done on people who have had symptoms, this is done on up to half a million people every six weeks and has been done throughout the pandemic and the levels have been hovering around one in 61 in 70 but for some months, that is the number of people actually infected if they have symptoms or not. in the week ending december 19, the most recent data we have, we are now up from one in 60 in england to one in 35. it is absolutely no question that this is nothing to do with people getting tested more, it is to do with almost twice as many people in a single week being infected. sorry, maybe it wasn't clear the way a phrase that. do you think we could see, obviously cases have gone up, record numbers day after day but do you worry that the amount of mixing that we may have had in family homes yesterday could see those numbers rise even more?

question a suspected armed intruder who was arrested at windsor castle, where the queen was spending christmas day. on her first christmas without prince philip, her majesty paid tribute to her husband in her traditional annual message. his sense of service, intellectual curiosity, and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation were all irrepressible. new covid restrictions come into place in wales, scotland, and northern ireland in a bid to slow the spread of the omicron variant. iam in i am in the miller's arms in chepstow in wales, where from today no more than six people can meet in pubs, cinemas, and restaurants here in wales. good morning. it's a must win, but england start badly on the boxing day test match. ollie robinson the last wicket to go, scoring just 185 in their first innings in melbourne. good morning. we've got some rain, some sleet, and some hill snow around for many of us this boxing day morning. but there should be a bit of sunshine developing, particularly in the west, later on. i'll have all the details here on bbc breakfast. good morning. it's boxing day, sunday 26 december. hgppy happy christmas, if you are just joining us. our main story: police are holding a 19—year—old man after he allegedly breached security at windsor castle yesterday — armed with an offensive weapon. as sean dilley reports, the queen was at home at the time, preparing to spend her first christmas day since the death of her husband, the duke of edinburgh. christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. this year especially i understand why. it is a break from tradition, but for the second year running the queen is spending her christmas here at windsor castle, due to covid. happy christmas. merry christmas. her guest list is smaller than in previous years but she has been spending time with some of her closest relatives. but at around 8:30 on christmas morning a man is alleged to have penetrated the outer security ring on the berkshire grounds. the intruder�*s presence was quickly detected and officers from two forces responded to the unfolding security incident. thames valley police say they arrested a 19—year—old man from southampton for breach or trespass of a protected site, and of suspicion of having an offensive weapon with him. it has been widely reported that the man had may have been carrying a crossbow, but police have not confirmed this. questions are now being asked as to how an intruder managed to breach security on the 13—acre site. as soon as somebody gets in the outer ring then something happens and it triggers an alarm and the police respond, as i understand it they have in this instance. they acted quickly, succinctly as soon as this individual allegedly tried to get in, then he was apprehended and that is what you want, really. the 19—year—old suspect did not enter any buildings during his short time on royal grounds. but officers investigating the christmas day breach will want to establish what the intruder�*s motivations were. sean dilley, bbc news. sean is outside windsor castle this morning. good morning, happy christmas again. sean, it seems this alleged intruder did not get very far, but a worrying incident nonetheless? yes, i think that's right. because we heard from di davies, a few moments ago, he two police royal matters, it might be something you would want apprehended very quickly. there would be questions of whether you really want them breaching security at windsor castle at all. it is not the first time there has been a security breach at windsor castle. in this case, we know that police are investigating what may have motivated that person to be on the premises behind us. but clearly it is worrying when anybody potentially as alleged, in this case, to have breached the security of windsor castle there behind us. police will be looking at what precisely has gone on in that case. there will be some searching questions of the policing operation as well. we should stress and policing sources are stressing as well, that they did very quickly apprehend the man when it is alleged he breached the premises here and that he did not go into any buildings and he was caught, he was arrested by thames valley police, the local force, arrested by thames valley police, the localforce, not arrested by thames valley police, the local force, not the metropolitan

harrowing evidence at the truth and reconciliation commission. it was he who coined the phrase rainbow nation to describe south africa's ethnic diversity, preaching unity in the face of adversity. but

been announced in the past few minutes. from johannesburg the president of south africa cyril ramaphosa is saying" the passing of archbishop emeritus desmond tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation's farewell to a generation of outstanding south africans who have bequeathed to us a liberated south africa. of course, archbishop tutu a key figure in the anti—apartheid movement in south africa, which led to the birth of the rainbow nation. so south african clergyman, archbishop desmond tutu, recognisable around the world has died at the age of 90. we will continue to reflect on that story during the course of the programme and on bbc breakfast at nine o“clock and on bbc breakfast at nine o'clock this morning and on the bbc news channel. it is ten past seven hour. —— now. tougher covid restrictions, designed to slow the spread of the omicron variant, come into effect in scotland, wales, and northern ireland today. our wales correspondent, tomos morgan, has been looking at how the rules now differ across the uk“s four nations. another winter and another set of restrictions. social life will be curtailed yet again in wales, scotland, and northern ireland as the devolved governments have brought restrictions in again as an attempt to slow the spread of the omicron variant to ease pressure on the nhs and to give more people the opportunity to be boosted at mass vaccination centres. having only reopened less then six months ago, nightclubs will have to turn their lights off once again in both wales and northern ireland from today. some industry bosses feel like they're being made scapegoats in this latest round of rules. we“ve essentially had 4.5 months of trade and we're back here again. and the issue is, we are not clear when this will be lifted. we have not been provided yet with any data on why this sector particularly has been closed and what conditions will need to be met for the sector to be reopened again. restrictions on large events and spectator sports will also apply from today in wales and scotland. they were due to be 10,000 fans here at cardiff's arms park today to watch the festive rugby derby — they will now have to watch from home. a total ban on spectators at sporting and large events in wales from now on. but in scotland, the premier league have moved their winter break forward due to measures to limiting maximum capacity in stadiums there, much to the dismay of fans. across all hospitality venues, the rule of six is back in wales, as is social distancing. smaller tables mean smaller profits and two metres means fewer guests. the two metre rule obviously has a massive effect. new year's eve, we've got full capacity but with the two metre rule we“ve probably lost 20% of the capacity so we have had to phone a few people and unfortunately cancel people for new year's eve. while restrictions in northern ireland and its scottish pubs and restaurants come into force tomorrow, the stormont executive said they would keep the measures under review. whilst first minister nicola sturgeon told the public theirs would be in place for at least three weeks. meanwhile, her counterpart further south, mark drakeford, said rules will be reviewed frequently. his next three—weekly assessment is due at the end ofjanuary. with large events due to be attended by thousands of people across the uk called off, it looks like this new year's eve will be just as subdued as the last. tomos morgan, bbc news. england's most senior doctor is saying to book a booster now. the medical director of nhs england has warned that new infections were at a worryingly high level. he said there was no need to queue for a jab with one third of appointments unfilled this week. a handful of vaccinations are open in england today. however, if shops will be open for the boxing day sales today. fewer shops will be open for the boxing day sales today. supermarkets including morrisons, sainsbury“s, and aldi are keeping their doors shut. and next is delaying the launch of its in—store reductions for the first time. the shops say they want to give their staff an extra day off to thank them for their work during the pandemic. the most advanced space telescope ever constructed is now orbiting the earth, following a successful launch from french guiana. it“s hoped the ten billion dollar james webb telescope, named after one of the architects of the apollo moon landings, will help answer questions about the origins of the universe from an observing station 1.5 million kilometres from earth. those on the main story this morning. it is 7:13. you are watching bbc breakfast. tougher covid rules have come into effect in scotland, wales, and northern ireland. wales is the first nation to re—introduce restrictions to the hospitality sector, including two metre social distancing in public places and the rule of six in pubs, cinemas, and restaurants. licensed venues must now offer table service and there are new limits on social gatherings, with a maximum of 30 people allowed to meet indoors and 50 outside. the scottish government has introduced limits on large scale events for three weeks. indoor gatherings will be limited to 100 standing or 200 seated and no more than 500 people can attend outdoor events. in northern ireland, nightclubs are closed, dancing is banned in all hospitality settings and indoor standing events are not back in. fiona lamdin is at a pub in chepstow this morning. fiona, how are the new rules going to impact the staff there? the first question once you get in through the door, how are things going to affect the staff there, good morning to you.- going to affect the staff there, good morning to you. good morning. it was very clear. _ good

have books that we could point to to prove what our last years takings the year before takings were. it has just been a struggle for the last 18—20 months. we were on the way up and then all of a

for boxing day. sarah is with us. good morning. how does it look? ~ , , ., , with us. good morning. how does it look? ~ , , ., ., look? merry christmas to you and to ou at look? merry christmas to you

there is a mix of weather type out there. a little bit of everything in there. a little bit of everything in the forecast today. rain, sleet and health know was well by this afternoon there will be a little more sunshine creeping in particular towards the west. but we have had heavy rain and snow overnight. this is the past few hours, the radar picture and you can see the snow that has fallen across parts of northern england in southern scotland. furthersouth northern england in southern scotland. further south it has been rain but look at this picture from a weather watcher. seven centimetres of snow in bradford lying there at the moment so it some tricky conditions this morning on some roads across the high ground of northern england and southern scotland in particular. that is all down to the fact that we have a couple of weather fronts. this one pushing its way northwards and eastwards meaning that wilder air. whether to ms as a meeting that is where we see outbreaks of rain and health know as well particularly for the pennines and the southern upland. it will ease off towards the east, that mix of rain and sleet and some sunny skies working in four parts of england and wales and northern ireland as a scattered shower. it will also be quite windy. blizzard conditions for a time across the pennines and the southern upland, wendy along the east coast is well with outbreaks of rain and temperatures only four or five degrees across parts of northern scotland and england. 12 degrees towards the south—west. a mix, a contrast in temperature and weather type today. in the evening and overnight, rain and health know will ease towards the north, still a little damp overnight you will see mist and extensive fog patches coming through into monday morning. a touch of frost across parts of scotland and northern england but milder with a low cloud with fog towards the south. tomorrow we will see the next area of low pressure approaching from the south—west. some uncertainty about how exactly far north some of the rain will get that we do expect the spell of wet and windy weather initially because the south—west of england into south wales and that will push northwards and eastwards. so they will be outbreak —— mist and fog will linger but most places are brightening by the afternoon with temperatures between six and 11 degrees. look at the hermas as we head through this coming week and the wind will come in from the south—west and drive an exceptionally mild air for the time of year. so the outlook than through this week for the final week of 2021, temperatures will be well above average, very mild with outbreaks of rain for many we“re spoiled for choice with festive tv this year. from the strictly special to the big budget drama a very british scandal, there's plenty to digest with your christmas dinner. scott bryan's here to talk us through his highlights. nice to see you and happy christmas. thank you for talking to a so bright and early.

new programmes and i think for many people there was a lot of relief with, let's say, a new episode of the christmas takeoff starring all of the things you want to see. as well as that drama that had radical acclaim earlier this year. one of my favourite highlights from the show in the opening challenge they had to make a pie and you saw sean dooley leave instructions for himself and at the top it said hello and then instruction number one, make it. and that sums up the sheer panic of what happens in that tent. that that sums up the sheer panic of what happens in that tent.— happens in that

course that special has ollie alexander, sean dooley, olivia west and nathanial curtis. iwill alexander, sean dooley, olivia west and nathanial curtis. i will not reveal who wins, you can watch that on the channel for streaming service today. there is always the strictly special which came back after last year. for christmas they had to show us the best of but this year they brought in new dances. i think, for me personally, stuart moira stuart needs to be in the main series, she was absolutely spectacular. we also had adrian charles there, of course, jdy had adrian charles there, of course, jay blade, and anne—marie as well. not really wanting to reveal who wins in case, in case you will all watch it on demand but it is fairly much a traditional festive fare. with strictly, let's look at a clip but the thing with it is that... in fact, let's have a look at the clip and then i will make my point. # let the christmas spirit ring # pumpkin pie and we will do some decorating # you get that sentimental feeling # voices singing let's bejolly you get that sentimental feeling # voices singing let's be jolly # you get that sentimental feeling # voices singing let's bejolly # deck the halls with boughs of holly # rocking around the christmas tree # a happy happy holiday # everyone dancing adrian charles had a well sorted there. no worries about what to do with your arms if you are trussed up in fairy lights. but the thing with strictly is that it has such popularity as it does every year but this series in particular which finished last weekend, there was a big appetite for it. to, finished last weekend, there was a big appetite for it.— big appetite for it. a massive appetite- _ big appetite for it. a massive appetite- l — big appetite for it. a massive appetite. i think— big appetite for it. a massive appetite. i think that - big appetite for it. a massive appetite. i think that it - big appetite for it. a massive appetite. i think that it was i appetite. i think that it was incredibly inclusive finale. and it was a finale in which you had such competition between all finalists. ajay competition between all finalists. ajay unfortunately had to withdraw through injury and if you looked at the semi—final, the scores that they gave to the semifinalist who arose and erling ellis, john and joanna“s, ajay and erling ellis, john and joanna“s, ajay and kai, there were 22 number 10s given. the highest number given at that point in the competition. and although rose was a spectacular winner, who is going to win? it was just a spectacular end for the year and it is one of those shows that encourages people to start up dancing themselves injanuary. in any other year, john and johannes may well have won but it was just such a seller year, wasn't it? it was a stellar year and the ways —— and the way that rose was an amazing inspiration to many people proving that you could do whatever you want despite a disability and that is important, particularly since it is a family show, having that reputation —— representation makes people understand that they can go far with their aspirations. strictly is an important show because it is watched by millions of people around the uk and by fans, young people who are trying to navigate where they are trying to navigate where they are in the world and this show makes them excited about possible new skills but, also, makes them aspire to what they could be in the future and help to build confidence. so i think strictly certainly will be watched on christmas tv by quite a lot of people. a quick shout out as well to probably the best name tv show this christmas, the greatest snowman where they got four different celebrities trying to build a competitive snowman on the swiss alps and the show was opened by saying yes, we came up with the name of the show first and then came up name of the show first and then came up with the concept. that is exactly what everyone was thinking. it is up with the

the doctor in doctor who. he is an incredibly versatile actor and he gives it his all and this is a really, really big budget production and has been shown the first two episodes later this evening on bbc one, this boxing day. but it's also being shown in pbs in america, many scandinavian and mainland europe countries this holiday as well. and i think, you countries this holiday as well. and ithink, you know, this countries this holiday as well. and i think, you know, this is a story that has been told many times before, phineas fogg and around the world in 80 days, it is boxing day fare,

go the world in 80 days but let's go the world in a nanosecond but i am afraid it is the same old story on the other side of the world this morning with the cricket. the thing is that england have to win this test if they are to have any test —— chance of regaining the ashes. they have not done well. they started with the bat and unfortunately we were 185 all out on the first day. another bad day for england in the ashes. they lost the toss and were put into bat and it was a very poor start with the opening batter going for a duck and the captain stayed in long enough for a half—century but when off the ball of mitchell starc who was hoping to build a partnership with ben stokes who went for 25. ollie robinson was the last wicket to fall off the bowl of nathan line, caught by scott boland and gone for 22. a terrible day with the bat for england. australia have begun well. they have just lost their first wicket, david warner gone for 38. anderson taking the wicket there. it australia know all they need to do is get a draw to retain the ashes. the traditional boxing day football fixture list has been disrupted. there are six premier league matches today and they should have been nine but outbreaks of coronavirus in several clubs forced three matches to be postponed. over the past few weeks, managers and players have been speaking out about the difficulty of the situation. depleated squads because of covid, at a time where the games are building up and there's now a backlog because of the postphonments. it“s led to clubs asking for a pause in the fixtures,

reflect that when we return at eight o“clock. now we will continue with the sporting theme. adam wild takes a close look at the highs and lows of a memorable year. there's never been a sporting year quite like 2021. it would, though, take a little time for the volume to be turned up. like everything else, it had to wait. as the year began, the backing track was the sound of silence. fans were still some way behind. covid“s cancellations and chaos continued, the pandemic still providing all the background noise. the empty stadia a stark constant reminder that no amount of fake sounds or even fake crowds could drown out. that was over here. over there, well, this was how the world's best tennis players were preparing for one of the first major sporting events of the year, the australian open. strict hotel quarantine divided opinion. tennis was struggling to keep calm and carry on. novak djokovic became the men's champion, the first of three grand slams for him this year. naomi osaka, the women's champion, herfirst and final grand slam of 2021. her withdrawal from the others to protect her mental health the starting point for another of the year's major sporting narratives. in truth, many were still questioning whether sport should be going ahead at all. rugby union“s six nations did — just about — and despite everything off the field, on it, it was one of the best we've ever seen. an empty twickenham and defending champions england is where scotland began. intimidating, perhaps, but they came with a plan. commentator: he gets the touchdown, australia and silent twickenham, - save only the cheers and roars of the scotland players. wales became at home, no crowd of course. nobody paused for the role. the lassion nobody paused for the role. the passion was _ nobody paused for the role. the passion was very much there. ireland saw red, was shown at, and the team in red would dojust saw red, was shown at, and the team in red would do just that. saw red, was shown at, and the team in red would dojust that. to, in red would dojust that. wonderful finish. to the snow and murrayfield. the rugby once more, red. chasing down his own kick. he's going to get it! what an important win for wales. two from two now. back home, the neighbours were waiting. will england catch fire? when will they cast fire? the answer, not inkatha. the question is, though, didn“t the answer, not inkatha. the question is, though, didn't end there. he question is, though, didn't end there. “ question is, though, didn't end there. �* ., there. he can't

the championship. surely it's going to be... for the bonus point try! that will win france the game. wales beaten. could scotland now help them out? the strangeness continues. they could scarcely have left them later. hastings flings it. they score. what an end this match. want an end to this championship! that met wales were champions. drama that deserved an audience. the women's six nations, well, that felt the impact even more. restructured, reorganised, the culmination and england—france final. wonderful stuff from england. they cannot stop winning. they are champions again in 2021. england couldn't stop winning, and neither it seemed could rachael blackmore. riding winners but never getting carried away. in april, she became the first female jockey to win the grand national. the gender thing was never an issue. i just carried forward. it was just such a special race. i“m absolutely honoured to be able to put my name beside it. at the crucible the rule was finally back. the world snooker championships became the first major british event to welcome back fans. raising the roof, champion mark selby. fans were turning in football and revolting proposals for european super league sparked outrage. fan power won for now. manchester city are the premier league champions. it's it“s finest team. one of those involved was manchester city. having won the league help they needed a premier league title. celebrations. as did chelsea women after they had to wait to the last of the season to clinch the domestic prize. chelsea are the champions of england! still very little could match the scenes ofjubilation in glasgow. in one side of it, at least. for every rangers fan, all players all over the world, is a big moment. we worked our way up from the bottom and now— we worked our way up from the bottom and now we _ we worked our way up from the bottom and now we are right at the top. we are the champions. it has been one fantastic— are the champions. it has been one

champions, but _ fantastic job then. rangers champions, but the - fantastic job then. rangers champions, but the cup i fantastic job then. rangers - champions, but the cup belong to fantastic job then. rangers _ champions, but the cup belong to sam johnstone. that is what partly made the fa cup final so extraordinary. 21,000 inside wembley to witness one of the great cup final goals. what a shot! fa cup winners for the very first time. one of the year's most poignant sporting moments. chelsea women's champions league final was played behind closed doors. fans back home they will have watched through their fingers, beaten 4—0 by barcelona. for some, it was time to get reacquainted. manchester united for a europa league final. beaten dramatically on penalties by villarreal. porto was therefore the champions league final. a continental full english chelsea against manchester city. seeing chelsea return as kings of europe. in club football, at least, 2021 was a year of international football. europe was finally opening up. the euros began with a nod to the past but i turned to the future. none shall sleep, fitting. a year later, the journey _ none shall sleep, fitting. a year later, the journey begins. - they've lit up rome tonight. we are looking forward to a competent attention in something much more important. plunges it into sterling! they are back and eager to make up for lost time. it is the czech republic on the break. anguish. a really big night ahead. touches it back for the second goal. and his team have done the nation proud! goodness me, it's loud. yikes. only a win will do. plays it in. two players is isolating, his teammate criticised. put into the back of the net by raheem sterling. the start of the knockout stage of the european championship. lovely touch. flag stays down. it“s 4—0 for this tournament. this time, that's that. this is an amazing story being told in budapest. it is the first shock knockout at euro 2020, and the reign of portugal as european champions is over. has to find the back of the net. the world champions, france, going home. it's not the final, it just feels that way. in comes the captain! it's finally happened. this is one of those landmark football moments that don't come around too often. onwards to rome. where things could get better and better and better. kane! ukraine blown away. england on their own. england and denmark! a chance to replace the ghost of history. it was delightful! sterling! kane is there. wembley is alive and thundering with noise! into the final of a major tournament for the first time in 55 years! england versus italy in the final of the european championship. excitement around wembley that hasn't been felt since, you know when. it“s luke shaw! it's the start of dreams! this is a problem, it is in. england once again are involved in a penalty shoot—out. the nation holds its breath. rashford has missed. saved! sarker has to score. italy are the champions of europe. huge disappointment for england. the aftermath of the final equally so. the racist abuse of some players prompted more national soul—searching. the boys have done so well for us, which i think is brought so many parts of our country together for some of them to be abused is unforgivable. the final two saw the dark side of returning fans. images of crowd trouble at wembley before the game were beamed around the world. a damning report would call it a day of national shame. what happened was a very near miss, and that near miss would be a significant loss of life or injuries, probably on a scale that sadly we saw at hillsborough. across the capital, things are far more serene. new stars were emerging whilst others were shining once more. the championships are back. the all england club looks _ picture—perfect and ready to welcome back the fans. back where he belongs. he has done it again. i feel very lucky- i get to do it again. i'm going to do it - again, i want to play. we have just heard one of the sporting roars of the year. wimbledon has a new star. 18—year—old emma raducanu. ashleigh barty! destiny fulfilled. and the celebrations can begin. it's the sixth wimbledon title. there was a new name on the list of golf“s open champions. what an incredible debut. the american winning the claretjug in the first attempt. anna norquist. not for either of them, their final victory of the year. cycling“s biggest moment was won by the british focus, on mark cavendish. harlequins were crowned men's premiership rugby union champions. before a much disrupted tour ended with the british and irish lions narrowly beaten in south africa. there were some fans back at wembley. st helens seeing off castleford. women's cup too in a stellar year for them. but the summer of 2021 will be remembered for the biggest sporting event of all — the delayed olympics that almost didn't happen again. the global games amidst a global crisis, athletes bringing home both medals and memories. # wondering what the world would be like # i knew i had to change my mind # didn“t realise what would happen oh so soon. still the olympic champion. we love you. # the

possible way. 2021 was a year that cricket was forced to reflect on much graver issues. the racism scandal is posing questions. there seems to be an exception, no one ever stamps it out. the response could now define the domestic game for years to come. the sporting drama, there was little to rival the rivalry in formula one. the battle to be number one was possibly the most intense the sport has ever seen. lewis hamilton one in the desert. it was becoming clear that max verstappen was going to push him all the way. =exploding to almost 200 miles an hour, robbing verstappen of victory. silverstein was a turning point. hungary was chaotic. in italy, the pair needed to be separated once more. the rivalry was boiling over. there was nothing to prepare fans for what followed. a crash allowed verstappen to controversially take the reins and the title. the amazing season deserved an amazing ending. this will live long in the memory. the arguments will go on perhaps just as long. few could really disagree with the bbc“s sports personality of the year. emma raducanu. having created history in 2021, it was perhaps in keeping with the last 12 months that emma raducanu received her award in covid isolation. this extraordinary sporting year ending rather like it began. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson. our headlines today: south african archbishop desmond tutu has died at the age of 90. police question a suspected armed intruder who was arrested at windsor castle — where the queen was spending christmas day. new covid restrictions come into place in wales, scotland and northern ireland in a bid to slow the spread of the omicron variant. another disappointing display from england in the ashes. all out forjust 185 in theirfirst innings, despite this being a must—win match in melbourne. good morning. we've got some rain, some sleet, and some hill snow around for many of us this boxing day morning. but there should be a bit of sunshine developing, particularly in the west, later on. i'll have all the details here on bbc breakfast. within the last hour, it's been announced that south africa's archbishop desmond tutu has died. the anti—apartheid campaigner, who won the nobel peace prize in 1984, died in cape town aged 90. the south african president said his death was the latest in the nation is very well to a generation of south africans who bequeath just liberated south africa. nomsa maseko reports. he was first and foremost a priest, not a politician. but for the best part of half a century, he was the face of reconciliation and south africa's moral compass. the system of this country, apartheid, is immoral. the system of this country is evil. desmond mpilo tutu remained outside of party politics, but he used the church as a platform for protest against white minority rule. it was under south africa's oppressive government that he first campaigned against apartheid. when emotions were boiling over, his influence helped prevent bloodshed. and in 1984, he was given the highest recognition for his efforts. when you've been given the nobel peace prize, it doesn't really belong to you. or, in a way, you can say it makes you answerable to the world. i mean, the world has a piece of you. he was a compassionate and sensitive man, one who would cry along with the victims as they gave their harrowing evidence at the truth and reconciliation commission. it was tutu who coined the phrase rainbow nation to describe south africa's ethnic diversity, preaching unity in the face of adversity. but even after south africa became a democratic country, desmond tutu was not afraid to speak out against injustices, and he was often scathing in his criticism of the governing anc. i am warning you, i am warning you that we will pray as we prayed for the downfall of the apartheid government. we will pray for the downfall of the government that misrepresents us. a spiritual figure with a global influence, there were few issues in the world that desmond tutu has not spoken out about. from human rights abuses to climate change to poverty. when you want peace, you negotiate not with your friends, that is at least what we discovered in south africa. that is what they discovered in northern ireland. you talk to the ones that you least like. i will remember his moral courage. and for him, that romans passage that if god is for us, then nothing can be against us. it was not just a cliche, it was something that he believed. it is an enormous loss for south africa. but desmond tutu“s irrepressible sense of humour and relentless pursuit ofjustice will long be remembered by all. nomsa maseko is in cape town for us this morning. it is obviously a very sad day because this is a man who did so much for south africa and known all around the world.— much for south africa and known all around the world. south africa woke u . around the world. south africa woke u- to the around the world. south africa woke up to the

it was all about south africa's ethnic| was all about south africa's ethnic diversity and the differences between black—and—white that he tried to unify, even through his work as commissioner and the truth and reconciliation commission which saw a lot of people who were part of the apartheid government who killed many black people coming forward and confessing to what they had done and also other members of society and coming forward to give their own evidence but at the same time he was not a man who was loved by all because you would imagine that he not only spoke out about against apartheid south africa but was critical of the government of the day when he felt they were misrepresenting south africa. you mention the _ misrepresenting south africa. you mention the truth and reconciliation commissions. he was often very profoundly affected by what he had from people who gave evidence to them. , ., them. there were times when he would literall fall them. there were times when he would

showed a lot of emotion, for there he was happy or not because in 2010, just before the opening night of the football world cup that was hosted here in south africa he was on stage, laughing and dancing with south africans so it is notjust the sad moments that south africa will remember him by but the happy moments that took place after south africa became a democracy. thank you ve much

archbishop desmond tutu at the age of 90 whose passing was announced in the last hour or so and we will continue to reflect that through the remaining old bbc breakfast and on through the day on the bbc news channel. it“s boxing day, sunday the 26th of december. our main story. police are holding a 19—year—old man after he allegedly breached security at windsor castle yesterday — armed with an offensive weapon. as sean dilley reports, the queen was at home at the time, preparing to spend her first christmas day since the death of her husband, the duke of edinburgh. christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. this year especially i understand why. it is a break from tradition, but for the second year running the queen is spending her christmas here at windsor castle, due to covid. happy christmas. merry christmas. her guest list is smaller than in previous years but she has been spending time with some of her closest relatives. but at around 8:30 on christmas morning a man is alleged to have penetrated the outer security ring on the berkshire grounds. the intruder“s presence was quickly detected and officers from two forces responded to the unfolding security incident. thames valley police say they arrested a 19—year—old man from southampton for breach or trespass of a protected site, and of suspicion of having an offensive weapon with him. it has been widely reported that the man had may have been carrying a crossbow, but police have not confirmed this. questions are now being asked as to how an intruder managed to breach security on the 13—acre site. as soon as somebody gets in the outer ring then something happens and it triggers an alarm and the police respond, as i understand it they have in this instance. they acted quickly, succinctly as soon as this individual allegedly tried to get in, then he was apprehended and that is what you want, really. the 19—year—old suspect did not enter any buildings during his short time on royal grounds. but officers investigating the christmas day breach will want to establish what the intruder“s motivations were. sean dilley, bbc news. tougher covid restrictions — designed to slow the spread of the omicron variant — come into effect in scotland, wales and northern ireland today. curbs on large—scale events have been reduced in scotland the edinburgh hogmanay has been cancelled. six premiership matches are going ahead in scotland but will be the last for two weeks as the winter break has been brought forward. england's most senior doctor is urging people who have put off getting

who've put off having their boosterjab while getting ready for christmas to book one now. the medical director of nhs england, professor stephen powis, warned that new infections were at a worryingly high level. he said there was no need to queue for a jab — with a third of appointments unfilled this week. a handful of vaccination centres are open in england today. fewer shops will be open for the boxing day sales today. supermarkets including morrisons, sainsbury“s and aldi are keeping their doors shut — and next is delaying the launch of its in—store reductions for the first time. the shops say they want to give their staff an extra day off to thank them for their work during the pandemic. let's return now to that breaking news from south africa — where archbishop desmond tutu has died aged 90. the former labour mp peter hain — now lord hain — spent his childhood in south africa and became a leading anti—apartheid campaigner. we are very grateful to you no doubt you are shocked as everybody to hear this news this morning. a man who was held in great esteem all around the world. he was held in great esteem all around the world. . , was held in great esteem all around the world.

struggle hoof when nelson mandela and his leadership, is work locked up and his leadership, is work locked up in prison he rose the faithful and inspired people and had a way of engaging that was soft and yet hard. by engaging that was soft and yet hard. by that i mean he would speak bluntly but he would also speak engagingly and sympathetically and he spoke truth to power, whether the old apartheid rulers who inflicted such evil and suffering and racist tyranny on the majority of south africans are after the transformation he spoke truth to power at nelson mandela and his successors, calling out corruption and cronyism that is so disfigured and cronyism that is so disfigured and damaged the country in more recent years so desmond tutu across the world inspired human rights activists as well and i think has a special place in everybody“s memory, certainly very sad as i am today, in mine. ., ., , ., ., mine. forgive me for 'umping to an assumption — mine. forgive me for

he was like? we saw this incredibly charismatic man with a wonderful sense of humour and a great laugh but obviously there was much more to him, as you said. he was infectiously impatient and humorous with his friends on anybody in this particular circle. i rememberfor in this particular circle. i remember for example meeting in this particular circle. i rememberfor example meeting him for the first time when he was receiving an honorary degree at cardiff university in the late 19905 and i was a guest of honour i5 university in the late 19905 and i was a guest of honour is a welsh government minister and he said to me, he burst out giggling and said here are you and i, a couple of anti—apartheid subversive activi5t5 suddenly being honoured by the establishment and he had that infectious sense of humour and also wet but he saw both the horror of things but also the beauty of things and the humour in almost any situation. i think what made people inspired by him was whether he was speaking out against homophobic operation in uganda are the decimation of human rights in burma are anti—apartheid struggles in south africa he always spoke the truth, however uncomfortable it was to those in power or even those on his own side who he sometimes pulled up his own side who he sometimes pulled up when he saw wrongdoing. she is widely credited _ up when he saw wrongdoing. she

radiated around the world, of multi racialism, of human rights and respect for all, and desmond tutu epitomise that with his fearless human rights activism and his belief in equal opportunity regardless of your background or your nature, your colour of your gender your sexuality or your he saw everybody as one and his christian faith was deeply important to him but there was never any pomposity about his persona as an archbishop on a platform. i don't think i've ever seen anybody or been privileged to hear or be in the company of anybody who had quite that ability to rise a great rally on the one hand or speak quietly to a small group on the other with the same passion and the same confection and the same communication. he touched people in a way that reached parts of people

mandela coming to power and the end of apartheid. how difficult was it to persuade people to come and forgive, that must have required a special person to champion? yell at his confrontation with winnie mandela, the former wife of nelson mandela, the former wife of nelson mandela who had a lot to answer for and her own behaviour in the latter years of the freedom struggle in south africa against apartheid in the late 19805, he was extremely firm with her as he was with former bristol servants of apartheid and even the late president de klerk who had uncomfortable session at the truth

bitterly divided nation and people who had loved ones disappear into the clutches of the brutal apartheid police state and never heard from the more southern again, to hear those who had beaten and

morning. here“s sarah with a look at this morning's weather. most of us didn“t wake up to a white christmas. a few places their departure are more likely to wake up to fight boxing day because we have had a mix of rain, sleet and hail snow through the night that will continue through today for of us. the weather will improve from the west this afternoon so some sunshine in the forecast. this is what has fallen over recent hours, rain towards the south but snow across parts of northern england and southern scotland, mainly over higher ground. this is the picture in bradford. the west of bradford. seven centimetres of lying snow. take extra care on the roads, particularly across the pennines and southern uplands. this front is moving north and east are bringing outbreaks of rain, sleet and hail snow. milderair outbreaks of rain, sleet and hail snow. milder air pushing up from the south but still holding on to the cold air across parts of scotland and north—east england. we have those two air masses of meat we have the outbreaks of rain and sleet and snow. in the next you are still some heavy snow to come for northern england and southern scotland mainly over high ground and at low levels and the caused rainfall. also quite windy close to the east coast and could see gusts of up to 40 mph. it will not feel particularly warm, for our 5 degrees across scotland and northern england especially with lying snow and further south double figures. sunshine this afternoon for wales and west in england and tonight things look more dry but mist and fog will develop quite extensively so most of us frost free with low cloud but we could see pockets of frost across parts of scotland and northern england as well. tomorrow driven by this area of low pressure in the south that will move in bringing wet and windy weather to the south west of england and south wales and then nudge slowly north and east across the southern half of england and wales. to the north of that and day with sunny spells for northern england, scotland and northern ireland but we keep quite a lot of low cloud elsewhere. temperatures between about 6 degrees and 12 degrees on monday but things turned much milder through this week i had to bring in winds from the south—west saw temperatures in the mid teens as we look towards the end of 2021. milder but also plenty of rain in the outlook. more than 120,000 new cases of covid—19 were recorded on christmas eve, a new daily record, according to the office for national statistics. in england, people queued outside vaccination centres for christmas dayjabs and new restrictions have been introduced in wales, scotland and northern ireland to try to slow the spread of the omicron variant. let“s speak to professor sian griffiths who is an epidemiologist and chair of the global health committee. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us. i wonder how concerned you are about whether things might go even higher as a result of families getting together as many did on christmas day. new; as many did on christmas day. merry christmas to — as many did on christmas day. merry christmas to you _ as many did on christmas day. merry christmas to you all. _ as many did on christmas day. merry christmas to you all. i _ as many did on christmas day. merry christmas to you all. i think - as many did on christmas day. merry christmas to you all. i think we - christmas to you all. i think we need to remember this is a high transmissible variant, the omicron variant and it passes on very easily particularly when people get close together which is why everybody has been encouraged to do the lateral flow test before the meet and if positive to isolate and everyone encouraged to wear face coverings indoors as well as outdoors and keep windows open as much as possible when inside together. those measures will make a difference and as other commentators have commentated if we all do that together that will play all do that together that will play a part in the control of the spread of the disease. estimating figures is not really very easy. what we know is an increasing rate. the numbers are going up, hugely particularly in london, and that is why having a booster and a vaccination is the best thing anybody can do at this point in time to protect ourselves through the holiday period or as we come out of the holiday period if we have not had vaccinations before. in a normal ear, if had vaccinations before. in a normal year. if we — had vaccinations before. in a normal year. if we can _ had vaccinations before. in a normal year, if we can remember— had vaccinations before. in a normal year, if we can remember what - had vaccinations before. in a normal year, if we can remember what they j year, if we can remember what they were like, the nhs would always be under huge pressure this time of year. it is a mixed message in a way, the uk health security agency saying you are less likely with omicron two need to go into hospital but the rest to the nhs is still there and i am sure you can explain why. ii there and i am sure you can explain wh . , ., ., , , ., why. if you have huge numbers of --eole why. if you have huge numbers of people with _ why. if you have huge numbers of people with a _ why. if you have huge numbers of people with a less _ why. if you have huge numbers of people with a less severe - why. if you have huge numbers of people with a less severe disease | people with a less severe disease the same number of people need to go to hospital as if you have more severe disease and fewer people. the number of people needing hospital does not change when the need to come for services you need them available. the other risk with omicron s f huge clumps of people have the infection and are in isolation they cannot go out into the normal daily support roles in the normal daily support roles in the nhs of the transport system our retail sector so essentially it is notjust retail sector so essentially it is not just the retail sector so essentially it is notjust the person that is being affected that is affected by high levels of omicron infection, it is our systems, what keeps our normal lives taking. so i think you have to think of it in terms of the population and individual which is why you need measures at both levels to try to control the spread. the worrying thing is the ritz in london are really high at the current time and what we do not know is whether those rates will be replicated across the rest of the country and the ritz in london of hospitalisation started to grow up so this is a matter i think as we have the prime minister say of watching the data that i think quite a lot of people feel it is quite a worrying situation and across europe we have seen a lot of activity because they are also seeing a wave of omicron. france with the highest number of cases on christmas eve, over 100,000, number of cases on christmas eve, over100,000, bringing in additional measures stop so this is a worrying time and as we said the solution in the longer term is to get the maximum protection for the population by building immunity

yesterday, throughout the holiday period. the general practice that looks after me as having extra clinics including a walk in clinic in the evening and staff are coming forward to help but supported by a group of us are volunteers who can make it a bit easier to get patients through quick as possible and if people want to get blisters it is not difficult because there are lots of volunteers using the flow through the clinic and people say that it didn't take so long, did it? come forward, have your vaccine and go home and if you're not feeling too good to take and rest but —— might take some paracetamol. we have to thank the thousands of volunteers working on the vaccine clinics in general practices and hospital system as well as all the staff giving their own time. this is a massive effort and one that should be highly commended people should recognise that. people who have not had the vaccines, please think about coming forward and think about why you're not having it and talk to people at the clinics because they can give you all the information you need. pl. can give you all the information you need. �* , ., , ., , ., need. a member of my family went for the booster and _

service for restaurants in scotland before further restrictions are introduced at 5am tomorrow morning. let“s speak to stephen montgomery from the scottish hospitality group to see how businesses have taken the news. merry christmas everybody. i would like to say that what you are saying early on, a big thank you to our nhs and volunteers from our armed forces were giving up their christmas to get us vaccinated. it is a great thing to do. really concerned about it, but we understand the reason behind it. we are estimated to have lost in december about £1 billion of turnover, and our staff are our main concern for theirjob turnover, and our staff are our main concern for their job security. turnover, and our staff are our main concern for theirjob security. shore concern for their 'ob

end of november, there _ businesses starting to fold? at the end of november, there were - end of november, there were businesses that were looking to try to get through the summer, which is traditionally the most busy month of the year which gets us through january, february and the end of the financial year. those businesses now with what will happen from five o“clock tomorrow will be thinking where they are going to be. 70% down most businesses on turnover. a lot of these businesses, they are effectively close because the shape and area of their bars, they need a standing room so they can keep their business viable. this is a health concern, so we obviously, hospitality have done what they can always to protect health. we will continue to do that and make sure that we get through this. with restrictions on businesses, that has to be forthcoming with the support that will help protect the staff. that is a key question, what support are you getting and what support would you ideally like to see? locate would you ideally like to see? we are would you ideally like to see? - are going to be getting some funding at the beginning ofjanuary, it will be divided out, about £4500 for some and £8,000 for other pubs. the £1 billion loss in turnover, one of our own members whose bill for december is very high, it doesn't cover anything else. our main concern is our staff

group. let's go back to our top story now and the news that the south african archbishop desmond tutu has died. that news was announced from south africa just after 7am this morning. i“m joined now by professor linda—gail bekker, who“s the director of the desmond tutu hiv centre in cape town. thank you for talking to us, we are grateful to you for taking time. hgppy grateful to you for taking time.

man. the arch, as he is known to i many of us, he became a patron of our charity in 2004, since that time, he has been an incredible support. from our point of view, just his support of people who are, i guess, marginalised on the edges of society that he particularly cared about. just an unwavering belief in all of humanity, the notion that everybody is god's child, and everybody deserves social justice and good care. that has really been what has inspired us since then. it was at a time when there was incredible in equity around the provision of anti—hiv treatment, and the archbishop was a strong protagonist and a fantastic support in this regard. he is the guy that coined the term rainbow nation for south africa and truly did that. an incredible sense of inclusivity and compassion for all humanity. such a wonderful example for us all. ., for us all. that determined the rainbow nation, _ for us all. that determined the rainbow nation, something i for us all. that determined the | rainbow nation, something we for us all. that determined the - rainbow nation, something we know around the world, which epitomises what south africa became after apartheid. he was instrumental you talk about how he was able to reach out to people and bring them together, possibly in no greater way that in the truth and reconciliation commission that followed the end of apartheid. how tough a job last that have been for him? i apartheid. how tough a 'ob last that have been for him?_ have been for him? i think if an bod have been for him? i think if anybody has _ have

anybody has watched some of the film footage, i think the pain that he suffered, just the real sense of, i suppose in some ways, the realisation that people can be and do those kinds of things to other people. but continuing through his faith, he believed that evil could be overcome. and he again said that term, “'forgiveness was not the sissies." he recognised again the toughness of these realities, the fact that he never underestimated how hard this was. but his belief, his conviction always was really at the forefront. and again, in my world, he recognised how people living with hiv were often ostracised. and he coined the term "the ostracised. and he coined the term “'the new apartheid". he united south africa around the idea that people with hiv and tuberculosis, like himself, somebody who weathered tv at a young age, recognised that we needed to draw those individuals into society and to show love and compassion. and that was the man he was. ., ., ., ., , , was. you would

now lord hain who was an anti—apartheid campaigner who met desmond tutu. he made the point that he would just speak the truth and he would speak the truth onto power or whoever. even if it was two people on completely different sides of the argument, he would tell them things as he saw it and give it to them straight. is it that ability to not take sides and to just deliver a straight message that was his great strength? straight message that was his great strenlth? ~ , ., . ., ., strength? absolutely. conviction, a man of conviction. _ strength? absolutely. conviction, a man of conviction. if _ strength? absolutely. conviction, a man of conviction. if he _ strength? absolutely. conviction, a man of conviction. if he believed i man of conviction. if he believed that was right. and his principled life was what guided that, the moral compass that he had. but, yes, never fearful. he was a man of reasonably short stature. again, always imprinted in my mind is that picture of him standing up against a burly south african previous regime policeman. and the archbishop willing to actually take him on, not physically, but in truth and in belief. and just courage, courage of conviction. but then also being a friend of the most needy, of the most simple. walking him across the room, he would neverfail to have a fist bump with the security guard or say a word to the person who was cleaning the floor across the room. even when there were other more important, as it were, people in the room. he was a man for all people. and just shown love but at the same time had a wicked sense of humour. and a real delight to know and love, and someone i think will continue to hopefully be a very strong example for all of us around the world. i’m for all of us around the world. i'm sure many — for all of us around the world. i'm sure many of— for all of us around the world. i'm sure many of us will remember him as a man of huge charisma, that is certainly the impression he gave to us when he visited our countries. we are very grateful to you. professor at the desmond tutu hiv foundation in cape town. we will go to sporting out. i am afraid if you are an england cricket supporter, surprise, waking up to another dismal morning. the thing is, another dismal morning. the thing is. everyone _ another dismal morning. the thing is, everyone has— another dismal morning. the thing is, everyone has been _ another dismal morning. the thing is, everyone has been debating i is, everyone has been debating england's team selection. i think everyone can agree that the performances just have not been good enough. if england don“t performances just have not been good enough. if england don't win this test, the ashes in australia... home test, the ashes in australia... none of us could — test, the ashes in australia... none of us could do _ test, the ashes in australia... none of us could do better, _ test, the ashes in australia... none of us could do better, to _ test, the ashes in australia... none of us could do better, to be - test, the ashes in australia... none of us could do better, to be fair! i england are struggling again in the ashes. their first day of the must—win third test was woeful, finishing their first innings on 185 all out. at stumps, australia were 61 for one. england lost the toss and were put in to bat, but a poor start for haseeb hamid, going for a duck. captainjoe root did stay in long enough to get a half century, went off the bowling of mitchell starc. hoping to build a partnership with ben stokes, but he went forjust 25. ollie robinson was the last wicket to fall, off the bowling of nathan lyon. caught by scott bowland, gone for 22. so, a terrible day with the bat for england. and australia, in sharp contrast, have begun well. they lost their first wicket, david warner going for 38. at the stunt they were 61—1. jimmy anderson taking the wicket. however, australia know all they need to do is get a draw to retain the ashes. the england players were wearing black armbands today, that's because we heard some sad news on christmas day. former england cricket captain ray illingworth has died aged 89. he had been undergoing treatment for cancer. illingworth played 61 tests for england between 1958—1973, scoring 1,836 test runs and claimed 122 wickets. he was captain 31 times and helped yorkshire win seven domestic titles in nine years from 1959—1968. he later became chairman of the selectors and coached england in the 19905. the traditional boxing day football fixture list has been heavily disrupted. there are six premier league matches today, there should have been nine, but outbreaks of coronavirus at several clubs forced three matches to be postphoned. one of the games going ahead is top of the table manchester city who are at home to leicester city. with second—placed liverpool's match postponed, a win for pep guardiola“s side would give them a six—point lead. but the manchester city manager is not taking anything for granted against a dangerous team. lest it remain at leicester. for me, they remain — lest it remain at leicester. for me, they remain a — lest it remain at leicester. for me, they remain a top quality manager, absolutely, with exceptional players in all departments. but in a period of the _ in all departments. but in a period of the season when they have highs and lows _ of the season when they have highs and lows. maybe we are used to seeing _ and lows. maybe we are used to seeing leicester all the time of the _ seeing leicester all the time of the how— seeing leicester all the time of the. how this club works in many senses, — the. how this club works in many senses, hats off. the efl has also been badly affected, just 11 matches taking place today. and in scotland, there are six fixtures in the premiership later, but then the top flight will stop for their winter break. top of the table rangers are at home to st mirren. all matches will be in front ofjust 500 spectators after first minister nicola sturgeon announced restrictions on crowds because of the virus. the planned winter break was voted to be brought forward, which means the season's second old firm game, scheduled for the 2nd of january, will now take place on the 2nd of february. so we still do have quite a few matches going ahead, but for now the ashes have finished for the day. the ashes have finished for the day. the ashes could be all over, but anyway. jane, thank you very much. the main story of the morning as the deaf in south africa of archbishop desmond tutu. before the end of the programme at 9:15am, we will hopefully be speaking to the archbishop of canterbury about archbishop of canterbury about archbishop desmond tutu. before that, at 8:42am, if you feel like running up a few of yesterday's roast potatoes, it is an inspiration from two very special friends of breakfast. hughie and freddie. we first met them last christmas, when hughie was still recovering from leukaemia and the side effects of chemotherapy. he was supported by his mate freddie, who was running more than a mile a day for 50 days to raise money for the hospital where hughie was treated. since then, the pair of them have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity — and they've picked up all sorts of awards and honours along the way. but are they going to rest on their laurels? no chance. they've got a brand new challenge, which kicks off today at somewhere very special to both boys — the home of their beloved burnley fc. josh parry is
