it's absolutely fabulous for joanna lumley, who is made a dame. whilst the outgoing james bond, daniel craig, is made a cmg. in sport, husband and wife jason and laura kenny are made a knight and a dame for services to cycling. the president of south africa pays tribute to desmond tutu as "the spiritual father of our new nation", and the archbishop's daughter speaks movingly at his funeral. we say thank you, daddy, for the many ways you showed as love, for the many times you challenged us, for the many times you comforted us. hello, good evening. a senior health official has warned that the "next few days are crucial" in the battle against the omicron variant of coronavirus. chris hopson, the chief executive of nhs providers, which represents health trusts, says the government "must be ready to introduce new restrictions... ..if they're needed." latest figures show hospital admissions in england, have risen to their highest level since january last year. the health secretary, sajid javid, has warned new restrictions on freedom "must be an absolute last resort". here's our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson. a new year and with it, the hope that 2022 will draw us closer to the end of the pandemic. but once again, january is likely to see soaring infection rates. last night restrictions in some places and advice in others meant more subdued celebrations, but some were determined to celebrate. we have our boosters we've done our things, we followed the guidance. it is a funny one this year because we obviously want to stay safe but also in 15 years of living here i've never been and done the london fireworks so boris had a cheese and wine party so why can't i come and see the fireworks? come in and take a seat. some had resolved to get protected for the new year and went for boosters today. this is a third shot, booster, want to make sure that i got all the protection we can get meeting friends and family and living a normal life. the main priority right now is to keep everyone safe, keep spreading the awareness, please get vaccinated, it's so important. whether it is the first, second dose or booster, and to look out for each other and protect one another. the health secretary in england is hoping vaccines will prevent the need for more restrictions and said additional measures would be a last resort. the debate about whether it is safe to mix or if we need more restrictions will continue but the question is, just how effective might those be? government commissioned modelling from warwick university suggests the window to suppress the peak may already have passed and that the last opportunity to introduce effective restrictions was a week ago, on boxing day. the number of patients in hospital with covid—i9 has increased by about 70% in a week according to nhs providers. they say it is too early to know how this wave will play out. if the evidence shows that we are getting very significant numbers of people coming into hospital with covid, then the government needs to be ready to introduce further restrictions at pace. what we are trying to balance this against is the fact that the vaccines have changed the rules of the game. with most days now bringing record numbers of infections and the virus spreading rapidly amongst us, the health secretary in england has warned of a big increase in hospitalisations this month, which is likely to test the limits of the nhs. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. dr bharat pankhania is a senior clinical lecturer at the university of exeter medical school and says any new restrictions might already too late to prevent the current surge in infections. within reason i feel that the pulse of infections that are going to come our way has already occurred, because people will have been exposed and now they will be incubating it and in the next couple of weeks we'll see that manifest as cases. having said that, prevention is always good and we should nevertheless continue to stop further cases from arising and that would be good infection control measures like wear your mask properly and of course be fully immunised. let's talk a little bit more about where we are at on the time—lag between infections occurring and potential hospital admissions, and i say potential although clearly hospital admissions are at a very high level. i'm talking specifically about covid, the early data on omicron seemed to point towards it being less severe than that delta variant, so where are we between potential infections and hospital admissions? once we've seen the pulse of infections there's usually a two to three week lag period before it manifests as hospital admissions, so the infections that are about to happen for the christmas festivities, we brace ourselves for the second and third week ofjanuary and once we have passed that second and third week of january we will be in a better position to know if that big pulse has materialised into hospitalisations or not. and in some ways that's a moot point because the latest figures do show that hospital admissions in england have risen to their highest level since january last year, so i suppose the question then becomes at what point can the nhs no longer cope? i feel that the good people, the good staff of the nhs, they are by nature copers they don't want to get to the point where they say we cannot cope any longer. with chris hopson talking about the government must be ready to introduce new restrictions and the health secretary saying new restrictions must be introduced as an absolute last resort, at what point do those two opinions meet? i think that they are divergent, really, because if we were to prevent further cases from rising that would be a better thing for the national health service because the national health service is not only working at full capacity, it is in trouble. the trouble is staff sickness and absences, the staff absences have gone up dramatically in the last two weeks. staff cannot return to work safely because of shortages of lfd and pcr tests, so now is the time to act to reduce the rising number of cases if we can do so. the government is trying to factor in other considerations, the economy, allowing people who have been fully vaccinated and so on and gone through that programme of being vaccinated to be able to go out and about and enjoy their life in a relatively normal way, so how do you balance these two things? you are coming from the scientific, the medical point of view. the government is looking at that plus many other perspectives. it's a difficult one to get the balance right, isn't it? whilst it appears difficult, i always feel economy and health go together, and we can make it work, but together. so what we have to do is wherever possible allow the infection control measures to come into play to reduce the rising number of cases, and for this it isn't really restrictions. it is more, better infection control measures. therefore, work from home when you can, where a better quality mask where you can, reduce your interactions in public places, and get fully immunised. all of those measures will reduce case numbers and it doesn't harm the economy in anyway. well, due to the holiday period, the government's latest coronavirus figures aren't complete and data for scotland, wales and northern ireland have not been published, but there were a record 162,572 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period in england alone, and 154 deaths — that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. a scientific research station in antarctica is attempting to contain a covid outbreak. despite all the work is being fully vaccinated and based in one of the well�*s remote hits regions. since the 14th of december at least 16 of the 25 people based at the princess elisabeth polar station have caught the virus, although all the cases have been mild so far. you can see more of that story on bbc online. the uk government's chief medical adviser professor chris whitty has thanked his fellow scientists and nhs workers after receiving a knighthood in the new year honours. he said they had worked tirelessly to serve the public. around a fifth of those recognised have been involved in the fight against covid, including england's deputy chief medical officer, jonathan van—tam, who is also knighted. here's our correspondent lizo mzimba. their faces have become familiar to the public throughout the pandemic. now the chief medical officers for england, chris whitty... if lots of people are vaccinated, that reduces the risk of transmission in the community. ..for scotland, gregor smith, and for wales, frank atherton, have all been knighted. a knighthood, too, for england's deputy chief medical officer, jonathan van—tam. # wheels on fire...# in the entertainment world, joanna lumley says she is stunned to be made a dame... patsy stone — 47. both for her acting career... i'll sue! ..and for her campaigning work. when i saw that sentence saying dbe, i burst into tears. it was the most extraordinary shock. it was such a shock, i put my head in my hands and sobbed like a baby. then i thought, "how has this happened?" "is it a mistake?" i truly was completely thrown by it. i'm thrilled to bits. james bond actor daniel craig has been made a cmg, the same honour held by the fictional spy. ashley banjo from diversity says he's humbled and proud to become an mbe. black lives matter. several olympians have been honoured including jason kenny and laura kenny. they are thought to be the first couple ever to receive a knighthood and a damehood at the same time. we are lucky we get to share our careers and to share the honours is very special. honestly, when i opened it, we weren't together, were we? i was like, you just never in your childhood dreams think you're going to be a dame or a sir. tom daly becomes an obe for diving and his work on lgbtq rights. swimmer adam peaty has also been made an obe. successful paralympians recognised includejody cundy, and kadeena cox has been made in obe. us open tennis champion emma raducanu says she's proud and grateful to be made an mbe. separately from the main new year honours buckingham palace has announced that tony blair will receive a knighthood from the order of the garter, an appointment within the gift of the queen. most of those being honoured aren't in the public eye though. people like this young fundraiser, who has raised over £150,000 through a series of walking and cycling challenges. i never thought in my wildest dreams that i'd get an honour by the queen. i am so excited. i'm actually going to get to meet her. ii—year—old tobias who received the british empire medal is thought to be the youngest ever recipient of the honour. lizo mzimba, bbc news. julie west was awarded a british empire medal for her voluntary work for veterans spanning 65 years. my colleague lewis vaughanjones spoke to her a little earlier and she told him about the

the main new year honours list, the former prime minister, tony blair, said he was "deeply grateful" to the queen after he was appointed a knight companion of the most noble order of the garter. this is the oldest and most senior british order of chivalry. joining him, as the first black member of the order, is lady amos — who served in his cabinet. our political correspondent chris mason gave us some more background details about the award. it is a kind of souped up, turbo—charged knighthood, we get this waterfall of the alphabet on days like this, with the honours announcements, cbe, mbe, obe, you name it, but then this additional category which is separate, in the direct gift of the queen. tony blair becoming a knight companion of the most noble order of the garter. this has existed since 1348 when edward iii was around. his idea was to have this assembly of aristocratic blokes because they were both of those things at the time, to advise him, really, and since then it has moulded into something else. it's meant to mark the most distinguished public service. there have been very few of them at any one time, a maximum of 2a, and you hold the title until your death. there are now 21 occupants, given the rise of tony blair and baroness amos. the way it works, each year they go to windsor castle and they wear a lot of velvet and indeed some ostrich feathers, and they proceed in a procession through windsor and they have lunch. it is the most senior title that can be offered by the queen. former prime minister tony blair having to wait 15 years almost, since standing down in 2007. his predecessorjohn major had to wait around eight years, so often people are kept waiting, although few as long as tony blair. chris mason. a deliberately modest state funeral has taken place in south africa for one of the heroes of the struggle against apartheid, archbishop desmond tutu. speaking during the ceremony in cape town, the south african president, cyril ramaphosa, described desmond tutu as the "spiritual father" of the nation. from cape town, our correspondent nomsa maseko reports. family, friends and politicians bidding farewell to a man who became one of the most important voices of the 20th century. this was a final sendoff for archbishop desmond tutu, following a week of events to honour him. speakers shared memories of the anglican priest who did all he could to expose and to heal the wounds of south africa's brutal past. many of the messages we received have said, "thank you for sharing him with the world." well, it actually is a two—way street. because we shared him with the world, you shared part of the love you held for him with us. south africa's president delivered the main eulogy. archbishop desmond tutu has been our moral compass, but he has also been our national conscience. it was during south africa's long and violent struggle against the country's brutal regime that he rose to prominence. we will be free! after the country became a democracy, he presided over the tumultuous reconciliation process. in accordance with his wishes, the archbishop will be aquamated — this is a greener alternative to cremation. his ashes will be interred beneath floor here at st george's cathedral. it is the end of an era — the last of south africa's well known freedom fighters leaves behind a difficult task for the leaders to rid the country of corruption and racial divisions, and to also forge the way forward in the spirit of the moral compass that many believe was the driving force to tutu's leadership. nomsa maseko, bbc news, cape town. the archbishop of canterbury has urged people today not to despair when it comes to climate change. justin welby, who's head of the worldwide anglican communion, has used his new year's message to reflect on the challenges the issue creates, but also the work being done to help solve the problem. new customs rules on goods imported into the uk from the european union have come into force. there will be border checks, and importers will have to make a full customs declaration. the checks had been due to take effect six months ago but were delayed because businesses said they needed more time to prepare. let's return to another story about the new year honours list. now, park lane stables is a facility in london which helps children with disabilities. 2021 was a year full of ups and downs, starting with it being under threat of closure, only to survive after a huge fundraising effort led by natalie o'rourke. all all her hard work has now been acknowledged with an mbe. fiona lamdin has been to see natalie and herfamily. guys, i have got something to tell you. i have got this letter, and i can't quite believe i'm saying this, but i have got a special award from the queen. are you proud of mummy? yes. do you want to have a look at the letter? yes. there you go. it has been quite a year for natalie and the stables she has saved. an mbe from the queen for her outstanding service to the community. is it good? good, yes. she is kind and she is caring - and she doesn't get angry too much. thrilled, thrilled. she has had a hell of a year, as most people have, of course, but apart from nearly losing the stables, all the work she has done with the disadvantaged has been rewarded and i am so proud. but a year ago, things looked very, very different. but now the landlord wants to sell up, so the community has only one week left to raise £1 million. they are desperate for any help. 350 disabled people are relying on us, so i absolutely have to do it for them. we all want the best _ for our children, but when you get someone like dominic, - just seeing the joy and what that activity can give him, - like nothing else can do, that's why it is so important. there are big smiles at the stables. what a difference 24 hours makes! all day, the moneyjust kept coming in, by phone, in person, and online. thank you so much. that is so kind of you. they had just seven days to raise the rest of the money, and unbelievably, by mid morning they had done it. so i've got something to tell you. i got this letter, and i have got an award from the queen in the new year's honours. so when you got the letter and you opened it up, what was your first reaction? well, to be honest, i thought it was maybe a joke. i thought it might be a wind—up from one of my friends, so i called the number on the letter to check that it was real because i couldn't actually believe it. and then when you realised it wasn't a joke? ijust feel really proud, i feel really humbled. i'm a very, very ordinary girl from birmingham. i feel like there's always an invisible army of people behind me, supporting me, and really they should all have it as well, and we should all go to the palace. with an award from the queen, and the stables now theirs for ever, 2022 is certainly getting off to an incredible start. fiona lamdin, bbc news. today is officially the hottest new year's day on record. the met office say temperatures have reached 16.2 degrees in stjames's park in central london. the previous record was set in bude, cornwall, in 1916, when it reached 15.6 celsius. they've also confirmed that scotland has just recorded its hottest new year's day temperature. achnagart hit 15.9c this morning — breaking the previous record of 1a.5c at inverurie from 1992. now it's time for a look at the weather, with ben rich. with matt taylor. hello, it's been an unusually warm start to the brand—new year, not only the warmest start to a january morning on record, inch— in devon, but we also picked up our warmest new year's day on record, above 15 degrees in london. it wasn'tjust on record, above 15 degrees in london. it wasn't just the london. it wasn'tjust the uk experiencing exceptional warmth. it's been across europe, record—breaking for some but a change has colder air pushes in through next week to something much more akin to january, the return of snow for some. no snow for sunday morning, it will be chilly across parts of north—east scotland but elsewhere i'll start and heavy downpours to begin with across the eastern half of england. quickly out of the way than lots of sunshine through match of the day. a few showers in the west which will become more extensive and frequent through the morning, some becoming heavy with hail and thunder, particularly lively through wales and the south west, central and southern eglin for the afternoon. a blustery day across the board, not quite as windy in western scotland on new year's day. temperature wise down a little bit but still significantly above where we'd normally expect at this stage in january. some heavy rain into sunday evening spreading across eastern half of england, that clears through. a few showers through the night and into monday morning, most of those will be across parts of scotland and northern ireland and it will start to turn wintry across the far north of scotland has colder air tries to edge its way and that's all to the north of this weather front. that's going to be slowly pushing southwards through monday. at the same time in the south—west, it between the two area is a lot of dry weather for england and wales, one or two showers. cold and wintry showers spreading into the north of scotland. the dividing line between the cold air somewhere across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england, outbreaks of rain and a wet end to the day around the english channel. that will clear through and monday night into tuesday the cold air floods its way southwards and it will be a much chillier day. we could see some fairly frequent snow showers in the north of scotland and strengthening winds which could cause problems later on tuesday and into wednesday. the upshot is for all of us temperature is much lower next week. you can see a selection of towns and cities in the four nations, temperatures in single figures and a bit of snow. despite the boosterjab campaign, hospital admissions in england are at their highest level for a year. if the evidence shows that we are getting very significant numbers of people coming into hospital with covid, then the government needs to be ready to introduce further restrictions at pace. the health secretary says any new restrictions "must be an absolute last resort." also

that 2022 will draw us closer to the end of the pandemic, but, once again, january is likely to see soaring infection rates. last night, restrictions in some places, and advice in others, meant more subdued celebrations, but some were determined to celebrate. we've got our vaxes, we've got our boosters, we've done our things, we've followed the guidance. new year's eve has been a funny one this year because we obviously want to stay safe, but, also, in 15 years of living here, i've never been and done the london fireworks. so, boris had a cheese and wine party, so why can't i come and see the fireworks? hi, how are you? - come in and take a seat. some had resolved to get protected for the new year and went for boosters today. this is third shot, booster, just want to make sure that i

of infections, as the virus spreads rapidly amongst us, the health secretary in england has warned of a big increase in hospitalisations this month, which is likely to test the limits of the nhs. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. well, due to the holiday period, the government's latest coronavirus figures aren't complete, but there were a record 162,572 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period in england alone, and 154 deaths, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. the funeral service for archbishop desmond tutu has taken place in cape town. he was a key figure

blocks away from the church, mourners gathered to watch the funeral on screens provided to allow ordinary citizens to pay tribute to the man they affectionately referred to as the arch. i have a strong sense that i needed to be in a community of people who were honouring him. the archbishop is a very important man, notjust in south africa but to the rest of the world. he's a great humanitarian, he's a wonderful person. he's done so much for this country. it was during south africa's long and violent struggle against the country's brutal regime that he rose to prominence. we
