unsettled conditions this week. - unsettled conditions this week. after record—breaking temperatures it will turn colder and be windy and for some, some snow. all the details later in the programme. it's monday the 3rd of january. our main story. every secondary pupil in england will be tested for covid at school before going back to class — the government says. the move comes just 2a hours after new guidance was issued for the same students to wear masks in classrooms once again, to help tackle the rise in omicron coronavirus cases. jon donnison reports. this time a year ago, schools across the country were forced to close to most pupils. 12 months on, the government says it wants to do everything it can to avoid a return to empty classrooms and home learning. in england, all secondary schools have been asked to provide on—site covid tests for pupils before they return from the christmas break. the move has been cautiously welcomed by some head teachers. i think the requirements for schools to do the on—site testing is the very best we can do in the situation to ensure students can stay on site, and ensure that reassurance for families and staff returning from an extended break over the christmas period. so, again, i would say despite the upheaval that gives for schools, and school staff in particular, primarily the support staff, it is the one thing schools can continue to do to support face—to—face education. despite some shortages, the government says secondary schools have already been provided with the test kits for on—site testing. once the school term restarts, pupils will be asked to continue to take lateral flow tests at home twice a week. it follows the announcement over the weekend that secondary school pupils in england will be required to wear facemasks and glasses, as is already the case in scotland, wales and northern ireland. in northern ireland, all post—primary pupils and staff are being asked to do a home test in the 2a hours before they return to school. in scotland, all secondary pupils are urged to take a test at home before classes resume and then to continue to test twice a week. in wales, pupils are being asked to test three times a week at home. the governments in all four nations have pledged to try to keep schools open. but if covid cases and the number of people needing to isolate continue to rise, staff shortages could make that difficult. we'll be getting all the latest on the situation in schools when we talk to the education secretary nadhim zahawi at 7.30. our political correspondent chris mason joins us now. the government is saying there is nothing in the current covid data to suggest new restrictions are needed in england, but we are expecting a review in the next few days? good morning, happy new year. there will be a review coming up on wednesday. that has been in the diaries since what is known as plan b restrictions for england were implemented in the first week of last month. there was a review point put in the diary as parliament returns this wednesday. as things stand, the regulations such as they are in england are due to expire towards the tail end of the month so there will be a statement in the house of commons. the health secretary last time around. probably likely to be him once again. no word from government as to whether there will be a news conference and whether we will get to hear from the scientists given the case rates have been going up over christmas and it is baked in, the health secretary acknowledges, there will be a rise in hospitalisation in the coming weeks. we do not quite know how it will pan out yet, this week, but the mood music from ministers is they are saying we have to learn to live with the virus and they see nothing yet for further restrictions in england. a critical incident has been declared at hospitals in lincolnshire because of covid—related staff shortages. in an internal memo shared on social media, the united lincolnshire hospitals trust said it was unable to maintain safe staffing levels, which was resulting in compromised care. in a statement, the trust's medical director said that staff were working exceptionally hard to maintain services, and anyone who needed to go to hospital for treatment should still do so. staff shortages have forced scotrail to make temporary changes to its timetable from tuesday. the rail operator has hundreds of staff isolating due to covid, resulting in scores of services being cancelled. the company said that to provide customers with a level of certainty about which trains are running, a temporary timetable would be in place until the 28th of january. it is mainly routes in the central belt that are affected. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a teenager in west london. the victim — who was also 16 — was stabbed in a park in the hillingdon area but hasn't yet been formally identified. police are still appealing for witnesses. a woman who survived a balcony collapse in california but was left with life—changing injuries has died after suffering a stroke, in dublin. 27—year—old aoife beary was injured while celebrating her 21st birthday. six other people died. an investigation found the fourth floor balcony had been constructed by a company with a history of complaints. in recent years, ms beary had become an advocate for construction reform in california. the nhs has been under huge pressure during the pandemic but with a backlog of patients, the demand for health care is continuing to rise. now, a question that's being asked is could robots help? automated care is already being trialled in one hospital, as our health editor hugh pym reports. how was your previous session? good. cool do you want to do exercise again? physiotherapy robot—style. extend your arms out to the side like me. could this be the long—term future of some nhs care? here at southmead hospital in bristol, they are experimenting with a robot programmed to interact with patients for simple forms of physio. another possible use might be basic bedside checks. remember not to take your medication on an empty stomach. use for real is still some way off. but hospital leaders think this could help ease workforce pressure. everyone understands that people want more out of health care as they live longer. we have not enough workforce to deliver those demands. and of course, robotics and technology can be taught to do mundane, repeat menial tasks. the hospital is working with the bristol robotics laboratory looking at future care of patients in their own homes. this device can be controlled remotely to help with basic household tasks. ok, i am sending kyra to you now. be careful as it moves. technology can clearly help those who need assistance at home. but might people feel they lose out from lack of human contact? in no way are we looking to replace people, because i would not want that. i wouldn't want to think about that as a possibility for anyone else. the idea here is to augment and improve the care provision and quality of care that can be provided. attention, automatic transport. and away from patients, there is automation. robotic portering delivers most supplies around the hospital, including to operating theatres and meals for the wards. they even have their own lifts. because they do the heavy manual work, staff injuries have been reduced. robot technology is also at work in the hospital pharmacy. orders for medicines are processed rapidly and made ready for clinical teams. pharmacists say it improves patient safety by eliminating human error. whether they are moving supplies around hospitals or having direct contact with patients, robotic devices are thought to offer potentially major long—term benefits to the nhs. but there are big questions over what that will mean for patients' experiences and the impact on staff. i'm excited about the increased use of technology in care homes, but also throughout the nhs. there is tremendous potential there. but as a scientist, i want to see the evidence. i want to make sure things are safe, they are effective, and there are no unexpected side effects or consequences. are you going to make yourself a cup of tea? they won't necessarily offer cups of tea or even look like this, but the fact that hospital leaders are working with engineers on robotics shows there is a radical vision for post—pandemic health and care. we have had a few really beautifully mild days. mild, clear, blue skies. it has been gorgeous. but apparently it will not last. now the weather with carol. lovely to see you, happy new year. what do we have in store? we have a bit of everything. it is all changing. happy new year to you. on new year's day, 16.3 celsius in london, record—breaking for new year's day. this week will turn colder. temperatures will be closer to where they should be. and when you add in the wind chill, it will feel colder again. we have rain in scotland with snow mostly in the hills. rain in northern ireland, showers in northern england, thundery showers in wales and rain in the south—west of england. this will be on and off during the day and getting into the channel islands at times. behind it, colderair cuts in and increasingly we will see snow showers even at modest levels in parts of scotland and it will carry on into the southern uplands and by evening the northern half of the pennines. dry weather between. windy in england and wales. the odd shower. still mild for the last day this week. cold in scotland. overnight, the front continues southwards, petering out but bringing snow across the pennines into the lake district, north wales and peak district. substantial snow in scotland and with gales here, we are looking at blizzards and drifting and it will be a cold night in the northern half of the country. the cold air will move south tomorrow. in some high—crime inner—city areas, children are being helped to and from school by adult chaperones. it's based on a successful scheme in chicago and is being piloted in the west midlands. the schools taking part have been chosen based on police intelligence, as our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. now, guys, you can come through. towering above the children leaving the ark boulton academy in sparkhill in birmingham is callum dunn. all right, guys, do you want to come through? he works for mad, or make a difference, and he is one of a group of chaperones who keep students safe on their way into and out of school. the chaperones are in prominent places, so easily identifiable by students. they are on key routes home and also in areas that we know are hotspots. so they provide a refuge, so if there are students who feel they are at risk, feel they are vulnerable, they can see those chaperones. they are marked out mad on theirjackets, and they can approach them and the chaperones can make sure they feel safe. this school is one of more than a dozen across the west midlands that is taking part in a pilot project called step together. in each case, the children have to use routes to and from where drug dealing and gang crime are problems. thankfully, none of us has been involved in such violence across the streets, but we do know that there are people out there, there are the dangers of the world out there and you want to be protected in such situations. so the fact that these chaperones are out here now, it does make everybody feel ten times safer. i think that every student should get the chance to go home safely and not to worry about anything like that. it is more scary to go to a stranger and ask for help, so to know there are trained professionals there, that we know they are there to protect us and we can go to them. the walk to and from school can be perilous for teenagers in big cities. an 18—year—old was stabbed to death barely a mile from here a few weeks ago. this park is a couple of minutes away from the school so lots of people will congregate here and they might play football or cricket in the summer. but it is also a potential dangerous flashpoint, because there is a lot of criminal activity here, drug dealing, weapons have been stashed here, so that is why the chaperones come, notjust to act as a point of reassurance for the children who use this, but also as a deterrent to the criminal activity. we have found a machete into the woods just up there. callum dunn's brought me to the park that he and the other chaperones patrol after school. it is known as the ackers and is right next to the ark boulton academy. when bad things happen, it's not often in the eyesight of the public. that is why green areas and big parks like this are often places where a lot of things will happen out of eyesight. callum says that because they spend so much time with the children, they get a sixth sense if something is wrong and can immediately detect if there is likely to be trouble. if it is a success, it is hoped the chaperones could become more common sight elsewhere in and wales. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph leads with the government's plans for secondary school pupils in england to wear face coverings in classrooms. the paper says the decision was met with a "backlash". the daily mirror is warning that the nhs is battling a "staffing meltdown". it reports that one in ten staff were absent from work on new year's eve, amid surging omicron cases. the daily mail leads on a different story and the growing pressure on the prime minister over soaring energy bills. and online, the most read article on the bbc website says that thousands of people were admitted to hospital in england last year when lockdown diy projects went wrong. nhs figures show that more than 5000 amateur builders required hospital attention. after coming into contact with an electric hand tool. that will land them! don't do it, if you are not sure. it is one thing doing electrics, you should not if you are not trained. did you not do some painting in lockdown? i did loads. i am quite handy, if i say so myself. i have cursed it now, and i will be one of those statistics! we could look inside. i will start with the daily express. the greatest picture. we have a picture of the mini monarch. she dressed up as the green for halloween. she caught her majesty's attention after wearing a double—breasted coat and matching hat. she was photographed by her mum in the united states. i love the dogs, she has them. they are not props. i do not know how you're feeling. it is a bank holiday but if you are stressed about going back to work maybe you need one of these. unveiled at a tech show in las vegas. a watch that measures your stress and manages to do it by looking at how much cortisol you have in your blood, sweat, and it senses electro dermal activity. it tells you an hour before you feel stressed you are going to get stressed. i do not think i want to know. you will be stressed about getting stressed. occasionally my watch says i could relax a little. is that when you get home, sorting out the jaws? exactly. do you know who this is? it is sir paul mccartney who has finally discovered filters that he posted on instagram. he obviously found an app with filters. this is definitely my favourite. it is absolutely brilliant. i salute you. he is making up members of a band. i love he is going all out on it. that was the bass player. the uk's water companies dumped raw sewage into britain's rivers on 400,000 separate occasions in 2021, according to data from the environment agency. the action prompted calls for more to be done to tackle the issue, with former pop star feargal sharkey among those leading the campaign for change. our climate editorjustin rowlatt went to meet him on the banks of the river test in hampshire. # scooby—doo dooby—doo. i want to know how a punk from northern ireland ended up the champion of britain's rivers. # get teenage kicks right through the night. feargal sharkey is probably best known for this song. # have her over cos i'm all alone. the dj john peel described teenage kicks as the best pop song ever written. the idea is feargal will teach me to fish. quite a challenge. simple. one, two, three. and you feed it with that hand a little bit? i am just letting it run through itself. if you get enough energy into it, the line itself will extend and shoot out. my turn now. just go for it. one, two. 0h. it's up in the tree. the good news is, you are not dropping your bait cast. how did a working class punk from derry end up...? this is considered the gentleman's sport, isn't it? it's a long time since anybody called me that. ironically enough, if you want to get into fly fishing, there is no finer place than northern ireland. a, it is not considered elitist, because lots of people do it. it is cheap, easily accessible and it is open to all. was that cross community? yes. i don't remember on the bank ofany lough, lake... so you might be fishing next to a protestant? there are bombs going off and you are like, how are the fish rising? oh, there is a good spot down there. you have to bear in mind this thing about catholics and protestants, i had neighbours who were protestant. did it ever come up? no. it didn't, because ironically enough, they were living the same kind of lives. the brown trout in the river are out of season, so we are going after a related species called grayling. one of the beauties about grayling, incredibly sensitive to water quality. so if you've got grayling you know your river is in good shape. when feargal sharkey hit the big time and moved to london, he kept up his fly fishing hobby. and being an enterprising sort, he has ended up as chairman of the oldest fly fishing club in england, the amwell magna in hertfordshire. and that is what sparked his campaigning. i began to realise there had been a big issue involving the drop in the volume of water in the river. and it is a conversation that had been going on with the environment agency and local water company for 15, 16 years. i could not comprehend why anybody was still talking about something 16 years later. and, at that point, as i now describe it, ijust got an itch and, stupidly, i scratched that itch. as it turns out, every time i scratch that itch, ijust end up with a bigger itch. he means the more he researched the issues facing britain's rivers, the more serious he realised the problems are. every single river in the country is polluted. i didn't make that up — that is the environment agency data. so the truth is one of the biggest sources of that pollution is the water industry. pretty much every river in the country is now contaminated with sewage to some degree or other. now, they are saying these are sewage overflows. so they are required, because the system is flooding and they need to clear the water out. that is basically their argument. and it is also an argument that very handily overlooks the fact that this country was taken to the european court ofjustice in 2012 and the european court ofjustice ruled what is going on in this country is illegal. and that sewage overflows should only ever be used in exceptional situations. so we now know that last year they spent 3.1 million hours on 400,000 separate occasions. is there anything remotely exceptional about any of that? in november, the environment agency announced a major investigation into 2000 sewage works in england. a triumph for feargal sharkey and britain's other river campaigners. and now he's got a new target in his sights. the truth is the biggest polluter in this country is actually agriculture. and the industrialisation of food production, meat production, chickens, because all of that fertiliser creates a massive explosion in the population of little microorganisms and the simple truth of the matter is, extraordinary idea that it is, the fish actually suffocate because of lack of oxygen in the river or the lake. that is the modern world we are creating. go for it. as you have probably guessed, we didn't catch anything. but, as i am learning, that is not really the point. it is about being out beside a beautiful river putting the world to rights. there you go, my boy. oh, that's what i need. cheers. i'll stick with a good old british cup of tea. thanks for teaching me. slainte mhaith. good lesson. maybe i will catch something next time. welcome to the world of fly fishing. justin rowlatt, bbc news, hampshire. and tomorrowjustin will be looking at the battle to save our rivers from pollution from farming. time now to get the news where you are. good morning. greater anglia has announced it will axe approximately 70—week day services next week due to a combination of "falling passenger numbers" and staff shortages. this will affect routes from london liverpool street to norwich, colchester and ipswich. it comes after southern announced that none of its trains, including the gatwick express, will run to or from london victoria untiljanuary 10th due to sickness and staff isolating because of covid. the gmb union has announced six more days of bin strikes in eastbourne. it's thought around 50,000 homes could be affected by the industrial action, which is caused by a row over pay and conditions. eastbourne council say they are taking legal advice and hope the situation can be resolved as soon as possible. the number of london nhs staff off sick or isolating because of covid has risen by nearly two thirds. the capital's still the hardest hit region when it comes to covid—related absences. around 4% of staff in acute trusts were unable to work last week, average of more than 5,000 staff each day. pharmacists have called on the government to improve the supply of lateral flow tests before people return to school and work this week. shortages have arisen over the christmas period with people advised to test themselves before socialising. many have struggled to get hold of the numbers they need especially after difficulties ordering kits online. three weeks ago, we were giving out about eight or nine kits per day. as soon as the website crashed, we started doing a box of 58 kits per day. that has increased in the last couple of weeks and now we doing 58 kits in about three hours. meanwhile thousands of vaccine volunteers have been praised for their work in giving up around two million hours of their time to help with the jabs rollout last year. they include a woman who translated crucial health messages into punjabi to reach more communities, and a man stationed at vaccine sites including wembley stadium and the london science museum. let's get the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. today is probably the last of the mild days we're likely to see across london and the south—east for the time being. it turns much colder in the coming days. this morning, we are starting again, temperature is largely high single figures through the day. bright, breezy, often dry, maybe a few showers just moving across us this morning. this afternoon, largely will be dry with some sunshine and temperatures once more low double figures. a good few degrees above average for the time of year. but change is coming our way overnight tonight. we have got some colder air starting to push in from the north, more of a northerly wind. by tomorrow morning, there could be a bit of cloud with us, some patchy rain just to start us off as well and through the day tomorrow, we will generally see that clearing away. we will have some sunshine behind but it will feel an awful lot colder and through this week, yes, temperatures closer to where we would expect at the time of year. that's it for now, i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning. as the bbc celebrates 100 years we take a look through the archives at some of its most memorable moments, including the rejection letters sent to david attenborough and david bowie in the 50s and 605. jaime winstone will tell us about her latest role as the sister of serial killer stephen port�*s last victim. and just before nine, ben fogel will explain how nature can benefit our mental health. now, the uk has seen record numbers of daily covid cases over the festive period with workplace absences affecting many industries. the latest coronavirus figures, which coverjust england and wales, shows a further 137,583 cases have been reported. 73 people have died within 28 days of a positive test. there are nearly 12,000 patients with the virus currently in hospital across the uk. figures for scotland and northern ireland are due to be updated after the bank holiday weekend. to try and get a picture of how these numbers are impacting the health service, we're joined by chief executive of nhs providers, chris hopson. good morning, chris, nice to have you with us. talk to us about the latest figures. we have run through them, but what do they tell us about them, but what do they tell us about the pictures in hospital right now? what they tell us is that actually, the pressure on the nhs is now spreading outside london. i think as we know, london has been at the centre of this but it has been very striking talking to chief execs over the last 2a hospital cheap hours, how that pressure is now mounting outside london. there are three things going on at once. number one, rising numbers of covid hospital patients, the second is the staff absences which are causing a real problem in some trusts, and this is against the backdrop of a very busy nhs and social care system where we have a very busy accident and emergency care pathway, and all of those cases of planned surgery which we cannot delay any longer but we are trying to extend the booster campaign at the same time and catch those people who have not been boosted and who ought to have been. and we know that our social care colleagues are under real pressure over the last couple of weeks because they have got big staff absences but they are also now seeing outbreaks of omicron in care homes which means that those are now closed to new residents. it is a concerning picture. there are a couple of bits of interesting, more encouraging news. i couple of bits of interesting, more encouraging news.— couple of bits of

community and social care and whether there is light at the end of the tunnel. we have also been reporting this morning that that critical incident that has been declared at lincolnshire hospitals, because of staff related shortages. they are still encouraging people to go in for care should they need it but nonetheless declaring that radical incident. we know nhs staff will just go the extra mile, they are there to look after people. talk to me about the impact it is having on day—to—day provision of care in hospital. day-to-day provision of care in hosital. ~ , ., , hospital. we 'ust

careful about critical incidents. there has l about critical incidents. there has been a lot of focus on that individual one. there are a number of other places which are also declaring them. the right —— the reason i trust declares a critical incident is because it is concerned it cannot offer the care particularly in urgent services that it needs to. if it can see that that is going to be around the corner, it will declare a critical incident which means they can really focus on sorting out those problems, they can get more staff in and indicate that staff should work extra shifts. it put in place a governance structure so leaders can make decisions and if they need to prioritise particular services, they can do that really quickly. in a sense, it is an indication of pressure, but it is also an indication that a trust is well and controlled the situation and it is going to do the right things. in terms of your question in terms of what it means the quality of care, it means that quality of care is under increasing pressure. we are getting increasing reports of trusts who are having to delay nonessential and lower priority elective surgery cases. but the degree of pressure and the trust's ability to cope with it will vary from trusts to trust.— ability to cope with it will vary from trusts to trust. let's talk about the _ from trusts to trust. let's talk about the issue _ from trusts to trust. let's talk about the issue of _ from trusts to trust. let's talk about the issue of social - from trusts to trust. let's talk about the issue of social and i about the issue of social and community care. he talk about hospitals being able to get other staff, when we talk about social care where staffing pressure is tight, where do the staff come from? what will happen, if a trust is under real pressure it will rio —— it will re—prioritise and look at where there are areas of care which can be delayed or areas where we can look at staffing ratios. everybody wants to ensure that we have the right number of staff to look after patients but if you are in an emergency situation, you can look at that. as we were saying earlier on in the interview, there are some really big problems in social care. there is a particular concern, i was talking to a london chief executive yesterday who was saying that in one of the barriers where they work, every single care home is now closed to new admissions because they have either got an outbreak or a staff shortage. we focus a lot on hospitals but the pressure isjust as great in mental health, community services, social care and in the ambulance sector.— services, social care and in the ambulance sector. you did mention that there is _ ambulance sector. you did mention that there is some _ ambulance

necessary to introduce any further restrictions later this week. is that how you see it as well? let me talk about a — that how you see it as well? let me talk about a couple _ that how you see it as

let me talk about a couple of the psst of. talk about a couple of the psst of light at the end of the tunnel. the first is that we are still not seeing what we were really fearing, which is a large number of seriously ill older people coming in hospital. one of the interesting things is in the care home outbreaks, bese and omicron outbreak, the resident are not going into hospital. —— where we see and omicron outbreak. london has been the epicentre so people are focusing on the hospitalfigures there, there were some scary figures last week, we were seeing an increase in 9% of —— 9% or 15% per day of covid—19 patients. the last couple of days, they have only been 1% and 2%, it has dropped significantly. there is a hope that we could have seen a peak and a plateau. but we are seeing what happens in terms of new year's eve and when schools go back. in terms of the restrictions, that has to be the government's decision, they need to balance a number of different things. one thing to remember which is really important, which is, it is about a two week lag before any, before you see the effect of any change in restrictions on hospital admissions. so the pattern for the next two weeks for hospital admissions is already set. we will kee a admissions is already set. we will keep a close _ admissions is already set. we will keep a close eye _ admissions is already set. we will

as pupils return this week following the christmas break. let's speak now to nicola mason, who's the headteacher of chase terrace academy in burntwood. good morning, great to see you. thank you very much for chatting to us. i know it is going to be a really busy few days for you. just tell me how ready you and your staff feel to be heading back with these new rules in place. the feel to be

the measures, we have got a letter ready to send out to the parents, we have sent a lot of communications before christmas, communication with parents is key. the schools only got the information yesterday which is a lot of information to sent to parents and four children to process. parents and four children to rocess. ., parents and four children to process-— parents and four children to

main thing that schools will be struggling with, similar to any sector like the nhs is the staffing. they cannot work from home, nhs, schools, hospitality, you cannot get those industries to work from home without an impact on the children. it is important that we try to keep schools running and keep children in. we have had three incidents where we have had to send the group home because we have

enforce this. it's not mandatory in schools, so we do ask the children, we recommend that children wear masks in the corridors and in busy areas but once they are sat down in classrooms, the windows are open, it well ventilated, we have measures in terms of classroom arrangements so they are all facing forward and two metres away from the staff, staff are generally all double and triple jab. there are other measures in place to minimise risk classrooms. we do have children with other issues such as hearing impairment and staff with hearing impairment wear masks will be a barrier to the learning. so there are issues with this and it costs a huge amount of money for schools. there is a small contingency of masks provided by the dfa but that is not enough to get all children wearing them all the time. and we know how much difficulty there is for all of us to wear a mask in the shop, you walk outside and it is a relief sometimes to take the mask off. the children wear them all day, there are lessons, with small breaks, in the morning and then at lunchtime, it is a lot to ask them to do that. but we will do it if it means we keep them in school. . ~ will do it if it means we

we'll be speaking to the education secretary nadhim zahawi at 7.30am and we'll be putting your questions to our regular experts, professor linda bauld and dr chris smith, just after 8am. it's believed hundreds of thousands of young women were pressured into giving up their babies for adoption in the three decades after the second world war because they were unmarried. a parliamentary inquiry is currently underway. the mothers want an apology from the government. duncan kennedy retells the distressing experiences of some of those affected. my mother didn't tell my father because she said it would kill him. i had an identity forced upon on me. the matronjust said, "oh, she's only crying because they've taken a bit of you away today". it was coercion. the phrase was, this will be the best. this will be for the best for the baby, this will be the best for you. all year, we've been hearing painful stories from birth mothers like anne. about how cruelly they were treated even as they gave birth, simply because they weren't married. and i can remember yelling and saying, "please bring her back, bring her back". and i canjust remember lying there thinking, it'd be better to die. dozens of women came forward to tail us about the horrors of this area, dozens of women came forward to tell us about the horrors of this area, and the pressures from parents, churches, social workers, doctors and nurses to give up their babies. how could that have happened to me? i loved her so much, i still love her. i'm her mum. so, here we are, this is it. it soon became clear forced adoptions had also taken place in scotland. we took elspeth back to the home in glasgow where her baby was taken 60 years ago. this was the last place you saw your baby? i know. it's horrible, it'sjust horrible. the babies who were adopted also came forward to reveal their pain. i'm angry, for... for the trauma and pain caused to my birth mother. you've never been able to have a reunion with your son in six years. you've never been able to have a reunion with your son in 60 years. has there ever been a day where you haven't thought of your son? no. there never will be. it's notjust me, it's thousands, thousands of women. it is so wrong. that was duncan kennedy with that report. thank you to everybody who share their story. we were talking about the premier league race, often it doesn't live up league race, often it doesn't live up to the hype it get it finally did. it the first half was outstanding, no winner at stamford bridge apart from possibly manchester city! 11 point lead over liverpool, and a ten point lead over chelsea. they are now looking at total control of their destiny at the top of the premier league. romelu lukaku was on the banners, but not in the squad. dropped for an explosive interview which thomas tuchel said created "noise we don't need". the kind of noise the side did need came from a section of standing fans, allowed at a top—flight game for the first time in over a quarter of a century. but they would be silenced early. sadio mane pounced on a mistake, round the keeper, past the man on the line, 1—0. nojuergen klopp in the liverpool dug out due to covid. but his stand—in, pep lijnders, celebrated with some similar gusto. it wasn't long before he was celebrating again as mo salah found a gap that only he seemed capable of finding. a parting gift before he departs for the africa cup of nations. chelsea, though, were far from beaten. and mateo kovacic decided to start the new year in style. a goal to grace a game of this size, and begin the chelsea fightback. because when n'golo kante found christian pulisic, it was 2—2 after a breathless half of premier league football. things calmed down somewhat after the break, but edouard mendy needed his best superman impression to keep the scores level. and level is how it finished, a result which doesn't do much for either side's title hopes but a game that was a joy to watch. craig templeton, bbc news. as craig mentioned at the start of his report there, romelu lukaku was left out of the chelsea squad for tha game. it followed recent comments that were critical of manager thomas tuchel�*s tactics. tuchel is set to meet with lukaku later today. when we do decisions like this, first we need to evaluate the situation, i do not listen to the media, not listen to the pressure, but understand what he said, why he said it and this is the meeting tomorrow and from there we will take the decision. if the decision is, he is good to go for wednesday, this is the decision. if it's not that, i cannot tell you right now, because we need to talk and understand the situation better and from there on we go. and then once the situation is clear, it's no doubt that he will stay our player and we will also protect our player. the pressure's increased on everton manager rafa benitez after his side were beaten 3—2 at home by brighton. alexis macallister scored twice. brighton are up to eighth with everton just three places above the relegation zone. brentford boss thomas frank called his side "incredible" after they came from behind to beat aston villa 2—1 — mads roerslev with the late winner. and leeds united ended a three—game losing run with a 3—1 win over burnley. danieljames scored the third. burnley remain third from bottom, two points from safety. leicester tigers' brilliant season continues. they thrashed newcastle falcons 31 nil in rugby union's premiership. harry potter with the bonus point winning fourth try. the tigers have won all 11 of their premiership games so far. elsewhere there were wins for harlequins and saracens. i avoided any mention of magic there! peter wright is through to tonight's world darts championship final. he beat two—time winner gary anderson 6—4 in a thrilling semi—final. the match was closer than the score suggested, with both playing high—quality darts. this will be wright's third final appearance. and wright's opponent tonight at alexandra palace will be michael smith, who beat james wade by six sets to three in their semifinal. it's the second time smith has reached the final. great to watch. yes, and peter wriaht

the milder airfurther south well. we have colder air chasing the milder air further south this week, so by the end of tuesday we will be in colder conditions. some rain across scotland this morning and snow, rain in northern ireland and showered in northern england and wales, currently it is thundery for that region. we have rain in the english channel on and off, clipping the south coast and the channel islands. the rain in scotland continues to sink south and as that cold air feeds in continues to sink south and as that cold airfeeds in behind it, we will see increasingly wintry showers, even to fairly modest levels. in between the two systems, for england and wales, brisk wind, a few showers but still in the milder air, ten or 11 is the maximum. but cold across the north of the country, two to 6 degrees in scotland. the band of rain syncs south tonight, cold air feeding in behind it so we are likely to see some snow on the hills in the pennines, the peak district and the north midlands. most substantial snow in northern scotland, getting down to lower levels and strong winds. a cold night for most under clear skies, with some fast. not so in the south, we hang on to the milder air here. i mention to the snow across scotland, that will be the story on tuesday, especially on higher ground. and on the wind, that is a compilation for blizzards and drifting. and of the summit of the hills, we could have 70 miles an hour of winter, and on exposed coasts as well. that will produce some large waves, so dangerous conditions. a band of rain continues to push southeast and in between there will be a few showers but a lot of dry weather. the wind picking up from the west as we go through the day. temperatures, four in lerwick and aberdeen, seven in plymouth and cardiff, eight in london. something a little bit milder in the channel islands. into wednesday, a cold start, a ridge of high pressure building across us. so it a quieter day, dry out with some sunshine. a few showers in the north and east. four to 9 degrees. after that, this ridge will be pushed away by a clutch of fronts coming through on thursday, it is going to be windy, but as that rain bumps into the cold air, we will see snow ahead of it. some of that could get down to lower levels. it is one to keep an eye on, especially if you are travelling. thank you very much, it is all

year! this year the queen will mark her platinumjubilee. to celebrate 70 years on the throne there'll be an extra bank holiday and a long weekend of national events. and when you've been queen for that many years, jubilees are something you get good at celebrating, as our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. first came the silver. the gold coach was on its way to st paul's and a service of thanksgiving. 25 years later, it was the golden. more recently, the diamond. the queen is a veteran ofjubilee. brian, christine and dave, neighbours on park street in salisbury, which looked very different ten years ago. the team photo, the residents of park street held a diamond jubilee street party in 2012. it was much more than that. the months of planning brought neighbours together. new friendships were made, community spirit was strengthened. it's your sense of identity, and belonging to this nation, as it were. you know what i mean? i'm welsh, but it didn't matter. she is our queen. you know what i mean? so i'm not saying they actually thought that consciously, but it's that feeling, and getting together. a great big mishmash of everybody, one big family, as it were. one big memory is the colourful table bending, groaning under the weight of the food. there was definitely no shortage of cakes and colourful foods. that's my memory, for sure. that will stick with me. brian, no one has lived longer on park street then you have. but it was transformed that day. what was it like here on the day? well, not seeing any parked cars was rather nice. and on this nice big open street where we had tables and chairs and bunting and people enjoying themselves. the milford street bridge mural was created in salisbury for the diamond jubilee, after people here were asked for their royal memories. each image represents someone's recollection. a permanent reminder of royal history. this year, salisbury and communities across the uk will turn their minds to the queen's platinum jubilee, where much of the focus will be on creating a lasting legacy to mark the longest reign in british history. and this year, that lasting legacy wants us all to get planting. you stick all these things in. back in october, the queen met local schoolchildren, and launched the tree planting season on her balmoral estate. i shall look at it in the car on my way down to edinburgh. thank you very much, that's very kind. it's part of a uk wide project to get trees planted to mark the jubilee. alongside a four—day bank holiday weekend injune, for a national celebration. this is the first british monarch ever to reach a platinum jubilee. and the chances of that happening again in the future, it's almost impossible to see how that will ever happen again because it involves not only someone living for a very long time, but coming to the throne very young. and it's very difficult to see how that will ever happen in the future. so this does feel very much like it has the potential to be a really historical moment. jubilees are markers of history. they are also a chance to party, to remember and to connect. perhaps never more so than this year. daniela relph, bbc news, salisbury. we are already looking forward to our next bank holiday monday! find our next bank holiday monday! and the our next bank holiday monday! fific the celebrations but our next bank holiday monday! fific the celebrations but the time our next bank holiday monday! e"ic the celebrations but the time of... not that we will, we will be here! we won't mind, it is quite good fun reason. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning and welcome to viewers of bbc london and bbc south east today. greater anglia has announced it will axe approximately 70 weekday services next week due to a combination of falling passenger numbers and staff shortages. this will affect routes from london liverpool street to norwich, colchester and ipswich. it comes after southern announced that none of its trains, including the gatwick express, will run to or from london victoria untiljanuary10th due to sickness and staff isolating because of covid. the gmb union has announced six more days of bin strikes in eastbourne. they'll take place between the 14th and 21st january. it's thought around 50,000 homes could be affected by the industrial action in a row over pay and conditions. eastbourne council say they are taking legal advice and hope the situation can be resolved as soon as possible. the number of london nhs staff off sick or isolating because of covid has risen by nearly two thirds. the capital is still the hardest hit region when it comes to covid—related absences. around 4% of staff in acute trusts were unable to work last week — an average of more than 5000 staff each day. pharmacists have called on the government to improve the supply of lateral flow tests before people return to school and work this week. shortages have arisen over the christmas period with people advised to test themselves before socialising. many have struggled to get hold of the numbers they need — especially after difficulties ordering kits online. three weeks ago, we were giving out about eight or nine kits per day. as soon as the website crashed, we started doing a box of 58 kits per day. that has increased in the last couple of weeks and now we doing 58 kits in about three hours. meanwhile, thousands of vaccine volunteers have been praised for their work in giving up around two million hours of their time to help with the jabs rollout last year. they include a woman who translated crucial health messages into punjabi to reach more communities, and a man stationed at vaccine sites including wembley stadium and the london science museum. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. today is probably the last of the mild days we're likely to see across london and the south—east for the time being. it turns much colder in the coming days. this morning, we are starting again, temperatures largely high single figures through the day. bright, breezy, often dry, maybe a few showers just moving across us this morning. this afternoon, largely will be dry with some sunshine and temperatures once more low double figures. a good few degrees above average for the time of year. but change is coming our way overnight tonight. we have got some colder air starting to push in from the north, more of a northerly wind. by tomorrow morning, there could be a bit of cloud with us, some patchy rain just to start us off as well and through the day tomorrow, we will generally see that clearing away. we will have some sunshine behind but it will feel an awful lot colder and through this week, yes, temperatures closer to where we would expect at the time of year. i'll be back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. our headlines today. every secondary school pupil in england will be tested for covid before going back to class amid fears of staff shortages. come through. a new way of keeping children safe in high—crime areas — meet the adult chaperones helping them to and from school. in sport. a thriller at stamford bridge. chelsea and liverpool share the points — much to the delight of the premier league leaders manchester city. wearing a dress of shimering white. from the queen's coronation to the moon landing and even a naughty elephant — the bbc celebrates 100 years with a look at its most memorable moments. happy new year. the weather is turning more unsettled and it will feel colder. some will see snow and it will be windy. all the details later. it's monday, the 3rd of january. our main story. every secondary pupil in england will be tested for covid at school before going back to class — the government says. the move comes just 2a hours after new guidance was issued for the same students to wear masks in classrooms again, to help tackle the rise in omicron infections. jon donnison reports. this time a year ago, schools across the country were forced to close to most pupils. 12 months on, the government says it wants to do everything it can to avoid a return to empty classrooms and home learning. in england, all secondary schools have been asked to provide on—site covid tests for pupils before they return from the christmas break. the move has been cautiously welcomed by some head teachers. i think the requirements for schools to do the on—site testing is the very best we can do in the situation to ensure students can stay on site, and ensure that reassurance for families and staff returning from an extended break over the christmas period. so, again, i would say despite the upheaval that gives for schools, and school staff in particular, primarily the support staff, it is the one thing schools can continue to do to support face—to—face education. despite some shortages, the government says secondary schools have already been provided with the test kits for on—site testing. once the school term restarts, pupils will be asked to continue to take lateral flow tests at home twice a week. it follows the announcement over the weekend that secondary school pupils in england will be required to wear facemasks and glasses, to wear facemasks in classes, as is already the case in scotland, wales and northern ireland. in northern ireland, all post—primary pupils and staff are being asked to do a home test in the 2a hours before they return to school. in scotland, all secondary pupils are urged to take a test at home before classes resume and then to continue to test twice a week. in wales, pupils are being asked to test three times a week at home. the governments in all four nations have pledged to try to keep schools open. but if covid cases and the number of people needing to isolate continue to rise, staff shortages could make that difficult. our political correspondent chris mason joins us. chris — the government is saying there is nothing in the current covid data to suggest new restrictions are needed in england but we are expecting a review in the next few days? good morning, there is a review on wednesday. the day parliament returns. that review has been in the diary since what was known as plan b for england was triggered almost a month ago. there was a midpoint review on the 5th of january and the current restrictions such as they are in england are due to expire towards the end of the month. we can expect a terse statement in the commons on wednesday, an update on current measures. the consistent message from ministers has been that things seem ok. that there should not be and there is a hope there should not be a need for further restrictions in england despite the fact scotland, wales, northern ireland have had tougher restrictions in place the past couple of days. crucially, how is the nhs coping? that has been the measure to determine whether more restrictions are needed.

seen a big rise in the number of seriously ill elderly people coming to hospital that had been feared. and there is some evidence of the hospitalisation rate of london, which seems to be the epicentre of this wave, beginning to plateau. so some optimistic news amongst the more negative stuff. we'll be getting all the latest on the situation in schools when we talk to the education secretary nadhim zahawi at 7.30. 12—15—year—olds in scotland are being urged to get their second covid jabs ahead of their return to school. as drop—in sessions open today, the health secretary humza yousaf said an increase in capacity meant they were able to offer the vaccines earlier than planned to those who had their firstjab twelve weeks ago. staff shortages has forced scotrail to make temporary changes to its timetable from tuesday. the rail operator has hundreds of staff isolating due to covid, resulting in scores of services being cancelled. the company said that to provide customers with a level of certainty about which trains are running, a temporary timetable would be in place until the 28th of january. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, following the death of a teenager in west london. the victim — who was also 16 — was stabbed in a park in the hillingdon area but hasn't yet been formally identified. police are still appealing for witnesses. one of the survivors of the 2015 berkeley balcony collapse has died at the age of 27 from a stroke. aoife beary was celebrating her 21st birthday in california when a fourth—floor balcony gave way. she suffered life—changing injuries. six other students were killed and several more were injured. two dogs that became trapped in a fox den in italy have been rescued. firefighters dug with their bare hands to free the animals in a rescue operation lasting around five hours. fire crews say the dogs were uninjured and became stuck after chasing a fox into the underground tunnel. they won't be doing that again. they won't be doing that again. they look a bit surprised, trying to work out where they are. good to see it had a happy ending. here's carol. a complicated picture over the next few days. good morning, what we have this week is a change in the weather. it has been mild for the time of year, now it will turn colder and more unsettled. today we have a weather front producing rain moving southwards across scotland and northern ireland and behind it, the showers will increasingly turn wintry, even at fairly low levels. the head of the rain, we have showers in england and wales. at the moment they are thundery in wales. but some dry weather and sunshine but brisk winds. in the far south, rain moving across southern and coastal counties. and the channel islands. but note the temperatures, 10-11 islands. but note the temperatures, 10—11 ahead of the rain and snow. behind it much colder. as the rain pushes southwards, we will see snow across the pennines. the lake district, peak district, northern wales. most of it on high ground. in scotland, more substantial snow falling and some of it at low levels. couple that with gale force wind, we are looking at blizzards and drifting on higher ground. these are the overnight low temperatures. still clinging on to milder conditions in the far south. tomorrow, a weather front gets into the south—east and clears. a lot of dry weather around but still the combination of snow and gale force wind in scotland. so we are looking at drifting and blizzards on higher ground. on summits we could have 70 mph gusts of wind and around exposed coasts, leading to large waves. temperatures tomorrow, for in the north, eight in the south but hanging on ten in the channel islands. well done. no one noticed! good morning. it's a bank holiday morning. nice to be with you. a document that details a settlement between the sex offenderjeffery epstein and virginia giuffre, could be made public this week. it's thought it could be key to a legal case inolving prince andrew. lawyers for the duke of york believe it could release him from liability. he denies all the allegations against him. we're joined now by gloria allred, a lawyer representing around twenty of epstein�*s accusers. good morning. it would be helpful if you could explain this sealed document. what is it? this apparently _ document. what is it? this apparently is _ document. what is it? this apparently is a _ document. what is it? this apparently is a settlement| document. what is it? t"i 3 apparently is a settlement agreement entered into by virginia giuffre and jeffrey epstein. as part of a settlement agreement, confidential agreement, and i have done thousands of settlement agreements like this, although i did not do this one, and i am not privy to what the release says. but apparently, i am not privy to what the release says. butapparently, it i am not privy to what the release says. but apparently, it does contain a general release. what that means in plain english is that jeffrey epstein releases any claims that he might have against virginia, and virginia releases any claim she might have had againstjeffrey epstein. and of course she was paid a settlement as part of that. but there is also a general release that may release third parties. not virginia, notjeffrey epstein, but others. andrew's attorneys, one of whom i know because i have done many confidential agreements with his firm, and i do not know if he was involved in this one in 2009 when virginia settled withjeffrey epstein, but a general release might also release others. so he is arguing that it also released prince andrew. it may be it is a general release that releases certain third parties. but if it does not say one of those third parties is prince andrew, duke of york, then the prince will have an uphill battle arguing that she has released him as well as jeffrey epstein. arguing that she has released him as well asjeffrey epstein. if it specifically names him, that is prince andrew, in the general release, then he has a better chance of prevailing, and the impact of that would be she would no longer be able to sue prince andrew, the duke of york, in the new york lawsuit she filed against him, which is now pending, in which she alleges he six trafficked her and had sexual intercourse with her, when she was only 17 years old. so bottom line, he gets to be released and the lawsuit would be dismissed if the judge finds he is intended to be either a third party beneficiary or specifically named in the release. you are saying a lot will depend on the specific wording of the document as to whether he can draw a line under the affair as far as allegations against prince andrew are concerned and we should be clear at this point prince andrew consistently denied those allegations.— consistently denied those allegations. consistently denied those alletations. , ., , allegations. yes, he does. in addition, _

many people say why allegations. yes, he does. in - addition, many people say why is this confidential in the first place? the parties have a right to keep it confidential, but this is the big exception. the exception is unless there is a court order in which there is a decision by the court that this must be made public, and it appears that is what is going to happen, that we will then see the terms of the settlement and then we will know why the judge is deciding that virginia giuffre actually released prince andrew, or did not released prince andrew, or did not release him. so yes, a lot depends on that for the decision of the court. , ., ., ., , court. does a 'udge have any authority — court. does a 'udge have any authority to _ court. does a judge have any authority to overrule

the document? he would not. overrule it but he would interpret it, in other words, we would have to look at the terms of the general release and that is what the court will do. and again, it will be that virginia may prevail if there is nothing specific in which she agreed to release the duke of york, but it is still possible the court will determine, depending on the language, that even though he was not specifically named in that release, depending on the language that she may have released him anyway. we will have to wait and see but that is an important argument for the duke of york to

documents we expect details of later this week. the queen's coronation and the moon landing were both moments when people gathered around the tv to witness history in the making. it's been 100 years since the bbc launched, and we'll discuss how it's celebrating in a moment, but first, zoe conway has been taking a look back at some of the moments that shaped british television. when bbc tv launched in 1936, music theatre star adele dixon sang about television's magic rays of light. the studio crew can be forgiven for not looking very excited. tvs were so expensive, only 100 people in britain had one. even higher—ups within the bbc thought it would never catch on. the bbc didn't particularly want to make television and they were quite happy with radio, thank you very much. and lord reith, who was running the bbc, absolutely abhorred this newfangled invention. but, the government could see that war was coming. germany was using television for propaganda purposes. so they thought we have to get going and launch a television service. so it all happened incredibly quickly. in about 18 months, the bbc has to launch the first ever television service, up in the north of london at alexandra palace. and it is madcap mayhem, because basically they are making it up as they go along. 12 years later, the london olympic games were televised. the coverage helping to buoy a nation still scarred by war, now beamed into 140,000 ohms. the action could be seen in real time. she is in fact wearing a dress of shimmering white. - but it was the queen's coronation in 1953 that would prove the turning point. 20 million people tuned in — for the first time, overtaking the bbc radio audience. coronation comes along and television does what it does so well, it convenes the nation, it brings people in. and all these wonderful stories of 18 people crammed into the living room, all watching around the television. in fact there was a saying — if you want to make new friends, put an aerial on your roof. even the male elephants don't have tasks. 0h, where having a slight penny down here. - five years later, blue peter launched, the longest—running children's tv programme in the world. it survived a urinating errant elephant and a scarily out—of—control campfire. # we are.# we are on fire. let's get the firemen in. the first black children's tv presenter was paul danquah on playschool in 1966. there has been a simply tremendous afternoon here. simply tremendous is one way to describe one of the most momentous moments of the 20th century — the first moon landing in 1969. a year later, the first same—sex kiss delivered by sir ian mckellen in a bbc two production of edward ii. in this series, i am going to show you how to cook... a british love affair with indian food was ignited by madhurjaffrey, whose show began in 1982. it is the kind of food you get in indian homes. one of the things i am going to make is roganjosh. this is a classical north indian dish. as you can see, our home is very relaxed. from 1983, the nation woke up to frank bough... let's get britain fit! ..and the green goddess, diana moran. diana moran, on britain's first ever breakfast tv show. stretch out, expanding the lungs and then down. the launch of the iplayer in 2007 made streaming mainstream. what is ever—changing is not just what we're watching but how we're watching it. zoe conway, bbc news. we can speak now to the bbc�*s head of history, robert seatter. good morning. you have had the great job of looking back through the archives. some amazing moments and we saw some of them. pick out some of your highlights. moon landing, the coronation, big moments where people gather around and tend to watch it it has to be said on the bbc. i watch it it has to be said on the bbc.

uniquely i bbc. i think one of the things i broadcasting does uniquely well bbc. i think one of the things - broadcasting does uniquely well is creating a sense of community, connection, and so the coronation was that first moment when television, because it was closed in the war years, but it comes back and you have this amazing moment of post—war glamour after the austerity of the war years and you have a glamorous queen and consort. everybody wants to look at it on television. the coronation was the first that takes the audiences directly into westminster abbey because prior to that the doors were closed and you never saw the ceremony. it was a first for the bbc. achieved slightly by sleight of hand because peter dimmock, who masterminded the event, played a trick with the lenses and assured the establishment the cameras would not go in close but they did and captured the crowning moment of the ceremony. you get the coronation but also, sport is an attraction because you have the excitement and you saw that with the olympics, the first one post—war beam directly into houses. the incredible thrill of watching sport happening as you look at it. the moon landing, i think it was termed the media event of the century. people could not believe they were seeing that and they were seeing it globally, notjust the uk, 650 million people watched armstrong on the moon landing. i

favourite moments? weld, it is a radio event, i might allowed to i radio event, i might allowed to mention radio? radio is so amazing. back to 1922, people had no idea what radio could do. the word used is magic. they could not believe that as a turn of the dial you could have the voice of the king, timekeeping, the weather, band music, entertainment, shakespeare. it was extraordinary and changed people's lives and the first big radio hit was the cello and the nightingale. . 192a, the most magical moment. it is an extraordinary, intimate moment, the cellist playing and a nightingale begins to sing along and she thinks it is so wonderful it must go on radio. and she contacted the person running the bbc who agreed and they had to take all the cabling out because it was the first ever outside broadcast and they are in suspense because they are wondering if the bird is going to sing and finally it does and that is the first broadcast hit. it is wonderful because it is doing that thing broadcasting does. it captures the moment and communicated across the nation who captivated. it is like springwatch now, putting us in touch with nature and the desire to be part of a larger world. that is my favourite moment.— part of a larger world. that is my favourite moment. what is amazing about how broadcasting _ favourite moment. what is amazing about how broadcasting has -

controller of bbc two at the time and he explained what sort of programmes he wanted to make and his vision. we shall continue to look for the new stars, the experimental stars, and people who try new lines of comedy like, in fact, the two successes, obviously — the likely lads and not only but also with peter cook and dudley moore. in every area we hope to try these new things, these different things. david attenborough plus my history with the bbc is very long but it almost did not happen. i with the bbc is very long but it almost did not happen.- with the bbc is very long but it almost

because the bbc remembered him and asked him back later that yearfor a television him and asked him back later that year for a television interview and that was the best thing for david because he was allowed to experiment far more than if he had gone into an established radio. and he went on to a glorious career. he was controller of bbc two and instigated colour, with wimbledon and pot black and a litany of great highlights, civilisation. and then he gives up the managerial role and goes back to his first love and instigates the milestones of natural history. he covers all the bases from the

things to ask but i know there is much more on the website. thank you. there is more detail about those great moments across the bbc. television and radio. it is a special website, bbc 100. in some high—crime inner city areas, children are being helped to and from school by adult chaperones. it's based on a successful scheme in chicago and is being piloted in the west midlands. the schools taking part have been chosen based on police intelligence, as our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. now, guys, you can come through. towering above the children leaving the ark boulton academy in sparkhill in birmingham is callum dunn. all right, guys, do you want to come through? he works for mad, or make a difference, and he is one of a group of chaperones who keep students safe on their way into and out of school. the chaperones are in prominent places, so easily identifiable by students. they are on key routes home and also in areas that we know are hotspots. so they provide a refuge, so if there are students who feel they are at risk, feel they are vulnerable, they can see those chaperones. they are marked out — mad on theirjackets, and they can approach them and the chaperones can make sure they feel safe. this school is one of more than a dozen across the west midlands that is taking part in a pilot project called step together. in each case, the children have to use routes to and from school where drug dealing and gang crime are problems. thankfully, none of us has been involved in such violence across the streets, but we do know that there are people out there, there are the dangers of the world out there and you want to be protected in such situations. so the fact that these chaperones are out here now, it does make everybody feel ten times safer. i think that every student should get the chance to go home safely and not to worry about anything like that. it is more scary to go to a stranger and ask for help, so to know there are trained professionals there, that we know they are there to protect us and we can go to them. the walk to and from school can be perilous for teenagers in big cities. an 18—year—old was stabbed to death barely a mile from here a few weeks ago. this park is a couple of minutes away from the school so lots of people will congregate here and they might play football, or cricket in the summer. but it is also a potential dangerous flashpoint, because there is a lot of criminal activity here — drug dealing, weapons have been stashed here, so that is why the chaperones come, notjust to act as a point of reassurance for the children who use this, but also as a deterrent to the criminal activity. we have found a machete into the ackers woods just up there. callum dunn's brought me to the park that he and the other chaperones patrol after school. it is known as the ackers and is right next to the ark boulton academy. when bad things happen, it's not often in the eyesight of the public. that is why green areas and big parks like this are often places where a lot of things will happen out of eyesight. callum says that because they spend so much time with the children, they get a sixth sense if something is wrong and can immediately detect if there is likely to be trouble. if it is a success, it is hoped the chaperones could become a more common sight elsewhere in and wales. time now to get the news where you are. good morning and welcome to viewers of bbc london and bbc south east today. greater anglia has announced it will axe approximately 70 weekday services next week due to a combination of "falling passenger numbers" and staff shortages. this will affect routes from london liverpool street to norwich, colchester and ipswich. it comes after southern announced that none of its trains, including the gatwick express, will run to or from london victoria untiljanuary10th due to sickness and staff isolating because of covid. the number of london nhs staff off sick or isolating because of covid has risen by nearly two thirds. the capital's still the hardest hit region when it comes to covid—related absences. around 4% of staff in acute trusts were unable to work last week, an average of more than 5,000 staff each day. the gmb union has announced six more days of bin strikes in eastbourne. they'll take place between the 14th and 21st january. it's thought around 50,000 homes could be affected by the industrial action in a row over pay and conditions. eastbourne council say they are taking legal advice and hope the situation can be resolved as soon as possible. pharmacists have called on the government to improve the supply of lateral flow tests before people return to school and work this week. shortages have arisen over the christmas period with people advised to test themselves before socialising. many have struggled to get hold of the numbers they need especially after difficulties ordering kits online. three weeks ago, we were giving out about eight or nine kits per day. as soon as the website crashed, we started doing a box of 58 kits per day. that has increased in the last couple of weeks and now we doing 58 kits in about three hours. meanwhile thousands of vaccine volunteers have been praised for their work in giving up around two million hours of their time to help with the jabs roll—out last year. they include a woman who translated crucial health messages into punjabi to reach more communities, and a man stationed at vaccine sites including wembley stadium and the london science museum. let's get the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. today is probably the last of the mild days we're likely to see across london and the south—east for the time being. it turns much colder in the coming days. this morning, we are starting again, temperatures largely high single figures through the day. bright, breezy, often dry, maybe a few showers just moving across us this morning. this afternoon, largely will be dry with some sunshine and temperatures once more low double figures. a good few degrees above average for the time of year. but change is coming our way overnight tonight. we have got some colder air starting to push in from the north, more of a northerly wind. by tomorrow morning, there could be a bit of cloud with us, some patchy rain just to start us off as well and through the day tomorrow, we will generally see that clearing away. we will have some sunshine behind but it will feel an awful lot colder and through this week, yes, temperatures closer to where we would expect at the time of year. that's all for now, we'll be back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. just 2a hours after announcing new guidance that masks should be worn in the classroom for pupils in england, the department for education is now asking secondary schools to provide on—site lateral flow tests for returning students. nadhim zahawi. good morning, mr zahawi, good morning, mrzahawi, good to good morning, mr zahawi, good to see you. first of all, how much discussion was there before making the decision on masks on schools? good morning, sally. obviously, you will recall before christmas, we introduced masks in schools in communal areas, as part of the plan be response to omicron. and then we talked to the uk health and security agency, is, actually, masks in classrooms can help mitigate the infectious nature of omicron because it is so much more infectious than delta. in the balance, certainly for me, is to keep schools open, keep schools with teachers and children in classrooms together. so if we have to introduce masks for a short time, i think it is the right decision to make to do that. it's one of a number of mitigations or tools that we are using to make sure we keep schools open. 99.9% of schools were open at the end of the year. and i want to thank school leaders and teachers for everything they have done. testing is you have mentioned, i made sure we had enough tests for this first week, where secondary school pupils will be tested in the school. we had an alternative route for those tests to be available, that is a really good thing, we would have had a very different conversation today if the tests were not available. i was a was concerned about staff absences and i sent out a call to action before the holiday period and we had lots of colleagues coming forward from my own departmentjoining that call to action to help with staff shortages. and co2 monitors, we delivered 350,000 co2 monitors. and now we are delivering, on top of the 1000 air purifiers, before the holidays which went to special schools and alternative education, another 7000 if schools cannot mitigate in terms of ventilation with air purifiers.— mitigate in terms of ventilation with air purifiers. previously masks have been involved _ with air purifiers. previously masks have been involved in _ with air purifiers. previously masks have been involved in communal. with air purifiers. previously masks - have been involved in communal areas and this new restriction is masks at all times. he talked at length about your colleagues, i want to mention the conservative chair of the education select committee who has expressed fears that making children wear masks all they could have a negative impact on their mental health in school and communication. what do you think of that? i think he always raises important questions, as does his committee and i thank him for that. a couple of things to say. number one, i don't want masks in the classroom a day longer than necessary, it is to deal with a highly infectious aerosol transmitted variant of the virus. we know from uk health and security agency that it does make a difference in terms of mitigating. if you are asymptomatic, but wearing a mask, you are much less likely to transmit the disease. and of course we conducted an observational study with 123 schools which we will share with 123 schools which we will share with parliament and published in the next 48 hours, where they did use masks quite rigorously. and that also help to reduce infections. and of course, the work we have seen in germany and the us on evidence that it does reduce infection for the disease which is as i say, airborne transmission, that's the way it actually spreads. it's not ideal, but if the trade—off is, let's keep children in school which we know, the big lesson and the painful lesson we learned was when children were not in school, the impact on their mental health and their education was quite substantial. that's why i'm so determined, as if the prime minister, to make sure education remains open —— as is the prime minister. so children are in the best place in the classroom learning with their friends. igruie the best place in the classroom learning with their friends. we had a head teacher _ learning with their friends. we had a head teacher earlier _ learning with their friends. we had a head teacher earlier on - learning with their friends. we had a head teacher earlier on in - learning with their friends. we had a head teacher earlier on in the - a head teacher earlier on in the programme from a senior school in staffordshire who talked at length about how they would manage the situation with masks and said, it will not be enforceable. they will ask the children to wear them but if they were his, she wasn't sure what she could do. what would your advice be? —— if the children refuse. i would like to thank her first of all, 99.9% of schools were open last year and i'm all, 99.9% of schools were open last yearand i'm sure all, 99.9% of schools were open last year and i'm sure they will be this week. she is right to be pragmatic, this is guidance we are saying to schools, with omicron, it's much betterfor a schools, with omicron, it's much better for a few weeks to have masks in classroom to reduce the rate. it will keep more children in class and in the school and omicron hopefully out of the classroom. so we have to make thatjudgment. head teachers and teachers are better placed to do that. including, by the way, for special needs education, for children wear masks are very difficult for their learning to continue. teachers are better placed to make that decision. igruie continue. teachers are better placed to make that

the end of last year. it may have been something which has just broken of last year. it may have been something which hasjust broken in the news for you and the bbc, but we have been working with

teachers in the classroom. it is really important that we make sure we continue to support the front line, and at the end of last year, we had 8% staff absentee, that is likely to rise because omicron is more infectious and there will be more infections because of schools are reopening but it is important to work together. and of course ventilation as well. you mentioned more teachers. —

terms of supply teachers. but also where the absenteeism is. we were running at 8% at the end of last year, it will probably rise beyond that. hence the additional mitigation measures. if teachers need to merge classes, that was in my communication to them earlier this week. igruie was in my communication to them earlier this week.— was in my communication to them earlier this week. we are being told that the current _ earlier this week. we are being told that the current restrictions - earlier this week. we are being told that the current restrictions will - that the current

prime minister introduced plan b. we said we would review it on wednesday and that will happen this wednesday, the review. at the moment, there is nothing in the data that gives me any concern that we need to go beyond where we are at. but we are not complacent. london was the epicentre of the omicron spike, effectively, and there is some really good data from london that it looks like the infection rates are plateauing, if not yet coming in. —— coming down. but we are seeing leakage into the over 50s in terms of infection and it is generally over 50s who end up with infection and hospitalisation. the good news is that 90% have been boosted now. 3a million booster chaps, 10 million from when the prime minister challenged the system to get boosting at scale. what i am saying to you? we will review the data and i will happily come back on your programme but there is nothing in the data at the moment which would lead me to believe we have to go much further. my focus is to make sure we support teachers, head teachers and support staff and have a great week in education and over the next few weeks, we handle omicron and get over this bump in the road as we transition this virus from pandemic to endemic status. we will definitely have you back on the programme when we have more information in the coming days. i will ask you something which i know is not your brief but you talk about staff shortages in education, a lot of the newspaper this morning are talking about staff shortages in the nhs which is a really big worry. what is the government doing to counteract that? fit, what is the government doing to counteract that?— what is the government doing to counteract that? a couple of things. the nhs is very _ counteract that? a couple of things. the

we had last year working in the nhs. and of course, we continue to monitor very closely the numbers. the health secretary has already announced the nightingale hubs in eight hospitals, that can be increased further if we need to, if we see more serious infection in the over 50s. we see more serious infection in the over50s. i“m we see more serious infection in the over 50s. i'm confident that the booster works, and if you have not been boosted, please do get boosted rapidly. the nhs is very good at making sure that staff shortages are monitored and dealt with pretty well. they have done it

tigers have won all 11 of their premiership games so far. elsewhere there were wins for harlequins and saracens. england all—rounder ben stokes has told reporters in sydney that he has no ambition to take on the captaincy in the future. the fourth test starts tuesday evening uk time and there's been plenty of speculation over whetherjoe root will continue in the role after the current series. england are 3—0 down and have already lost the ashes. we want to give people back home something to shout about, to show how much we care about this team and how much we care about test cricket. how desperate we are to do well. and, as i say, to win out here, these last two games, would be a really big step forward from, especially off the back of the first three games. i'll look at the future at the end of the tour. i don't think i can afford to throw any more energy into anything else than the games themselves right now. peter wright is through to tonight's world darts championship final. he beat two—time winner gary anderson 6—4 in a thrilling semi—final. the match was closer than the score suggested, with both playing high—quality darts. this will be wright“s third final appearance. and wright“s opponent tonight at alexandra palace will be michael smith, who beat james wade by six sets to three in their semifinal. it's the second time smith has reached the final. to a nswer to answer

is a cold start in the north of the country, the cold air will push across us all by the end of tomorrow so turning colder this week generally. temperatures closer to where they should be at this stage injanuary. this is the weather front producing some rain. behind it, some cold air, increasingly the showers will be turning wintry. into some low levels across scotland. ahead of it we have some showers. thundery across parts of wales. some will continue on and off, brisk winds for england and wales. the band of rain per —— across the english channel, clipping southern coastal counties and the channel islands. nine to 11 degrees, the mild air there, but a cold air front behind it. we will see wintriness in the hills of the payment of the lake district and outcome of the peak district and north west wales. the most substantial snow is falling across scotland, especially on higher ground. we will see some at lower levels. couple that with gale force wind, we are looking at drifting and potential and blizzards. hanging on to the mild conditions in the south for now. it is just approaching ten to eight, good morning. it's the story of four young men, murdered at the hands of serial killer stephen port, which documents a lengthy fight forjustice in the face of a now widely—condemned police investigation. four lives promises to shed new light on the killings of anthony walgate, gabriel kovari, daniel whitworth, and jack taylor, over a period of two years. in a moment we“ll speak to the series writer and one of its lead actors but first let's take a look. come on, you're supposed to be helping me. well, we might, if we knew why on earth you want to be a security guard. i don't, i told you, i want to be a copper. so why don't you apply to be a copper? because a security guard qualification is a good route into being a copper. four lives promises to shed new light on the killings i still think you're tool much of a shortarse to be a copper. there is no minimum height requirement. same as the army, which i'd be in by now if i didn't have two witches for sisters who wouldn't let me. i'm glad they didn't. i didn't want you risking life and limb in afghanistan. what sort of soldier would you have been with legs like that? what's wrong with these legs? nothing, they're great legs. like a chicken! ona chicken! right, done. check that for me, will you? where you off? curry with dan and gemma. then tre“s club, more likely. don't wait up. bye, my darling. it's going to be a late one, wahey! love you, have fun. love you loads, etc etc. bye, darling. we“re joined now by the actress jaime winstone, who you just saw in that clip. jaime plays donna taylor, the sister of jack taylor who was stephen port“s fourth victim, she joins us alongside neil mckay, writer of four lives. good morning to you both, good to have you with us this morning. let me start with you, neil. and the importance of portraying this story on television. what is it

bring it to the screen? i think it. was when i, jeff pope the producer and i were first approached by the bbc? drama controller about the story. it is relatively little known, there had been a documentary and some use attention paid to it but not an enormous amount. i felt it was unappreciated and unexplored. i think that is because it wasn't really a story about a few incompetent coppers or a few lazy coppers, it is basically a massive institutional failure by the metropolitan police. where one compartment did not talk to the other. and these four murders were not investigated properly, and three of them would not have happened if the first had been investigated properly. so it's a small story in one sense, but it is massive and its applications, i think, for our policing. applications, i think, for our ttolicin. �* ., , applications, i think, for our ttolicin. . . , ., ., policing. and what is it about a drama, policing. and what is it about a drama. what — policing.

that seems to work. but what you are doing all the time is try to get inside the moment, what it feels like, what it feels like to be told that your son has died, and that it isn't being investigated properly. it puts the audience on the shoulders of those people, and that's a very powerful tool. jaime, e tla ed that's a very powerful tool. jaime, e played donna — that's a very powerful tool.

there were some assumptions about young gay men, that they take drugs, go on apps, men, that they take drugs, go on apps, engage in risky sex, and the sense in which they don't quite matter in the same way as other people in our society. so i think there was a sense of, well, this happens, you know? and as you know, probably, three of the four were found in a very close area in barking. three in the same churchyard. propped up and dead from this drug which they had been forcibly administered. i think there was perhaps a suggestion that, that is what gay men do. of course, they don't. gay

up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. our headlines today. secondary school children in england will not wear masks for a day longer than necessary, the education secretary tells breakfast. i don't want masks in the classroom a day longer than necessary, it is to deal with a highly infectious variant of the virus. as a review of restrictions in england is expected this week, we put your questions to our resident expert panel. wow, look at this. it makes me smile. and if you're thinking of a new challenge this year, adventurer ben fogle will be here to tell us about the risks and rewards of living off—grid. good morning, today we are looking at a cold day in the north. some rain and snow showers. further south, blustery, a lot of dry weather with showers around but the weather with showers around but the weather will turn colder and unsettled. i will have details later. the education secretary has told bbc breakfast he doesn't want students to wear masks in the classroom for a day longer than necessary. his comments come just 26 hours after new guidance was issued for pupils to return to mask wearing in england's schools again, to help tackle the rise in omicron infections. our political correspondent chris mason joins us now. we just wejust got more we just got more information about what students and teachers can expect over the coming days. goad expect over the coming days. good mornint. expect over the coming days. good morning. secondary _ expect over the coming days. (lime morning. secondary school pupils in england will be tested when they get back to school, the advice from government, that tears should happen before any lessons take place. the suggestion of wearing masks in the classroom as well as when walking about in the corridors for secondary school pupils in england, bringing england into line with other nations of the uk. the government is not particularly keen on this. ministers do not particularly like masks but they are doing all they can, they argue, to prevent a return to where we word this time last year with home—schooling for families, and the toil and graft. they are keen to avoid that and see masks as a necessary mitigation at this stage but not for any longer than necessary, and it is due to last until 26th of january, after which it will be reviewed. this is the education secretary, sitting in this chair about 20 minutes ago. i do not want masks — chair about 20 minutes ago. i do not want masks in _ chair about 20

schools in england are concerned, acknowledgement from him that staffing might be a challenge, and a recognition that nonteaching staff might have to play a greater role, all that classes might have to be merged. there are not the bubbles there were so merged classes is a possibility. one thing worth mentioning, nadhim zahawi. in his conversation with you consistent with what other ministers have said over the bank holiday is they“d currently do not see evidence in the data for wider restrictions in england being necessary. there will be a review that takes place on that on wednesday. a critical incident has been declared at hospitals in lincolnshire because of covid—related staff shortages. in an internal memo shared on social media, the united lincolnshire hospitals trust said it was unable to maintain safe staffing levels, which was resulting in compromised care. in a statement, the trust's medical director said that staff were working exceptionally hard to maintain services, and anyone who needed to go to hospital for treatment should still do so. 12 to 15—ear—olds in scotland are being urged to get their second covid jabs ahead of their return to school. as drop in sessions open today, the health secretary humza yousaf said an increase in capacity meant they were able to offer the vaccines earlier than planned to those who had their firstjab twelve weeks ago. staff shortages have forced scotrail to make temporary changes to its timetable from tuesday. the rail operator has hundreds of staff isolating due to covid, resulting in scores of services being cancelled. the company said that to provide customers with a level of certainty about which trains are running, a temporary timetable would be in place until the 28th of january. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, following the death of a teenager in west london. the victim — who was also 16 — was stabbed in a park in the hillingdon area but hasn't yet been formally identified. police are still appealing for witnesses. one of the survivors of a 2015 balcony collapse has died at the age of 27 from a stroke. aoife beary was celebrating her 21st birthday in california when a fourth—floor balcony gave way. she suffered life—changing injuries. six other irish students were killed and several more were injured. two dogs that became trapped in a fox den in italy have been rescued. firefighters used their bare hands to dig out the animals in a rescue operation lasting around five hours. fire crews say the dogs were uninjured and became stuck after chasing a fox into the underground tunnel. that will teach them. great pictures. we like that. here's carol. good morning and a happy new year. this week will turn colder, but having said that, temperatures close to where they should be at this stage injanuary. this morning we have a weather front moving south and bringing rain but this is salient because behind it cold air coming in which means we see showers increasingly turning wintry even at lower levels. the head of it for much of england and wales, a blustery day with further showers coming and going. at the moment they are thundery in parts of wales, and in the south, rain flirting with the south coast and channel islands. northern ireland has rain. the head of the weather front, we are still in mild conditions and behind it it is cold. overnight the weather front move south and increasingly we will see wintry weather on the hills, the pennines, lake district, peak district and west wales. significant snow across the highlands and grampian is and with gale force wind, we are looking at blizzards and drifting on top of the mountains. a cold night except in the far south. in the far south tomorrow, cloud will tear. a dry and sunny day. the chance of blizzards in scotland on higher ground. some of the showers could be wintry on the hills in the west. by then, 4—8 will be the top temperatures except in the channel islands, where you will have ten. quite a change. new year's day we had a record—breaking temperature of just over 16 degrees in london. record—breaking for new year's day. but look now, eight on tuesday. a bit more normal and seasonal. lots of you have been getting in touch with questions about school restrictions and the impact of omicron. let's get some answers from our regular panel of experts professor linda bauld and dr chris smith. good morning. lovely to see you. happy new year. let's start the questions. phil wants to know if omicron is less severe than previous variants, is this because of high levels of vaccine take up or is it also less severe in the unvaccinated? chris, maybe you could start with that one. i chris, maybe you could start with that one. ..

who asks... _ good morning. ithink good morning. i think kate raises an issue that is being discussed around the country. these workforce challenges in a number of sectors. retired teachers are being asked to come forward and volunteer and register with supply agencies. for cake there are three things to think about. her personal risk, the environment she might be going into and third, what is needed by society. on personal risk, i think kate can assess for herself, does she have underlying health conditions that make her vulnerable. was she shielding previously? has she taken up a booster which we know from latest data reduces the risk of hospitalisation by 85%. if she is in good health and taken up the booster and well protected, the risks are less than for others. and we heard from the minister earlier that more is being done in school environments to reduce risk, including when you have an infectious variant. kate can ask about the school she is going into, ventilation, what they are doing. we are at a stage in a pandemic where there is a crisis in a lot of parts of society. young people have been disadvantaged by this pandemic and we need people to support them and their education. if kate can do that and feels confident and can ask the right questions and protect herself, she is making a huge contribution by going back into the sector. . “ . huge contribution by

australia, a highly vaccinated population with lower levels of previous infection, where they are seeing rising admission to hospital but not a big demand for ventilation beds. the next few weeks for the nhs will be tough but i think people are becoming less unwell so i think we can be optimistic. but the workforce pressures do notjust have implications for individuals not working but it means people cannot be treated for other conditions in hospital so there is a range of effects we have to be concerned about but looking ahead, we can be optimistic. about but looking ahead, we can be 0

secondary schools in england have been asked to provide on—site testing. what advantage does this have over doing tests at home? i think there are a number of advantages. the approach varies across the uk. the main one is no testis across the uk. the main one is no test is perfect but how you administer a lateralflow test is perfect but how you administer a lateral flow is important, so having it supervised will make some difference i think. we saw that in earlier studies that supervise lateral flows, even doing it in a better environment and knowing it needs to be done and some observation might improve slightly accuracy of results. and also to make sure it is normalised and everyone is doing it and supplies are there and you are not relying on families and young people getting hold of them. that is to be welcome. testing is still an important part of our approach to dealing with the pandemic, whether through lateral flows or pcrs. some countries are moving quite far away. i think there will be an active public debate in future because it is expensive but with schools returning i think it is a welcome step.— with schools returning i think it is a welcome step. thank you. always

practical stuff and we will speak to chris and linda again as we start to get more news, especially those figures, particularly over christmas and year holiday. it“s believed hundreds of thousands of young women were pressured into giving up their babies for adoption in the three decades after the second world war because they were unmarried. a parliamentary inquiry is currently underway. the mothers want an apology from the government. duncan kennedy retells the distressing experiences of some of those affected. my mother didn't tell my father because she said it would kill him. i had an identity forced upon on me. the matronjust said, "oh, she's only crying because they've taken a bit of you away today". taken your baby away today". it was coercion. the phrase was, this will be the best. this will be for the best for the baby, this will be the best for you. all year, we've been hearing painful stories from birth mothers like anne. of how cruelly they were treated even as they gave birth, simply because they weren't married. and i can remember yelling and saying, “'please bring her back, bring her back". and i canjust remember lying there thinking, it'd be better to die. dozens of women came forward to tell us about the horrors of this area, us about the horrors of this era, and the pressures from parents, churches, social workers, doctors and nurses to give up their babies. how could that have happened to me? i loved her so much, i still love her. i'm her mum. so, here we are, this is it. it soon became clear forced adoptions had also taken place in scotland. we took elspeth back to the home in glasgow where her baby was taken 60 years ago. this was the last place you saw your baby? i know. it“s horrible, it“sjust horrible. the babies who were adopted also came forward to reveal their pain. i'm angry, for... for the trauma and pain caused to my birth mother. you“ve never been able to have a reunion with your son in 60 years. has there ever been a day where you haven't thought of your son? no. there never will be. it's notjust me, it's thousands, thousands of women. it was so wrong. that was duncan kennedy with that report. time now to get the news you are. good morning and welcome to viewers of bbc london and bbc south east today. greater anglia has announced it will axe approximately 70 weekday services next week due to a combination of “'falling passenger numbers" and staff shortages. this will affect routes from london liverpool street to norwich, colchester and ipswich. it comes after southern announced that none of its trains, including the gatwick express, will run to or from london victoria untiljanuary10th due to sickness and staff isolating because of covid. the number of london nhs staff off sick or isolating because of covid has risen by nearly two thirds. the capital's still the hardest hit region when it comes to covid—related absences. around 4% of staff in acute trusts were unable to work last week, an average of more than 5,000 staff each day. the gmb union has announced six more days of bin strikes in eastbourne. they“ll take place between the 14th and 21st january. it“s thought around 50,000 homes could be affected by the industrial action in a row over pay and conditions. eastbourne council say they are taking legal advice and hope the situation can be resolved as soon as possible. pharmacists have called on the government to improve the supply of lateral flow tests before people return to school and work this week. shortages have arisen over the christmas period with people advised to test themselves before socialising. many have struggled to get hold of the numbers they need especially after difficulties ordering kits online. three weeks ago, we were giving out about eight or nine kits per day. as soon as the website crashed, we started doing a box of 58 kits per day. that has increased in the last couple of weeks and now we're doing 58 kits in about three hours. meanwhile thousands of vaccine volunteers have been praised for their work in giving up around two million hours of their time to help with the jabs roll—out last year. they include a woman who translated crucial health messages into punjabi to reach more communities, and a man stationed at vaccine sites including wembley stadium and the london science museum. let's get the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. today is probably the last of the mild days we“re likely to see across london and the south—east for the time being. it turns much colder in the coming days. this morning, we are starting again, temperatures largely high single figures through the day. bright, breezy, often dry, maybe a few showers just moving across us this morning. this afternoon, largely will be dry with some sunshine and temperatures once more low double figures. a good few degrees above average for the time of year. but change is coming our way overnight tonight. we have got some colder air starting to push in from the north, more of a northerly wind. by tomorrow morning, there could be a bit of cloud with us, some patchy rain just to start us off as well and through the day tomorrow, we will generally see that clearing away. we will have some sunshine behind but it will feel an awful lot colder and through this week, yes, temperatures closer to where we would expect at the time of year. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. this year the queen will mark her platinumjubilee. to celebrate 70 years on the throne there“ll be an extra bank holiday and a long weekend of national events. and when you've been queen for that many years, jubilees are something you get good at celebrating, as our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. first came the silver. the gold coach was on its way to st paul's and a service of thanksgiving. 25 years later, it was the golden. more recently, the diamond. the queen is a veteran ofjubilee. brian, christine and dave, neighbours on park street in salisbury, which looked very different ten years ago. the team photo, the residents of park street held a diamond jubilee street party in 2012. it was much more than that. the months of planning brought neighbours together. new friendships were made, community spirit was strengthened. it's your sense of identity, and belonging to this nation, as it were. you know what i mean? i“m welsh, but it didn't matter. she is our queen. you know what i mean? so i'm not saying they actually thought that consciously, but it's that feeling, and getting together. a great big mishmash of everybody, one big family, as it were. one big memory is the colourful table bending, groaning under the weight of the food. there was definitely no shortage of cakes and colourful foods. that's a memory, for sure, that will stick with me. brian, no one has lived longer on park street then you have. but it was transformed that day. what was it like here on the day? well, not seeing any parked cars was rather nice. and on this nice big open street where we had tables and chairs and bunting and people enjoying themselves. the milford street bridge mural was created in salisbury for the diamond jubilee, after people here were asked for their royal memories. each image represents someone“s recollection. a permanent reminder of royal history. this year, salisbury and communities across the uk will turn their minds to the queen's platinum jubilee, where much of the focus will be on creating a lasting legacy to mark the longest reign in british history. and this year, that lasting legacy wants us all to get planting. you stick all these things in. back in october, the queen met local schoolchildren, and launched the tree planting season on her balmoral estate. i shall look at it in the car on my way down to edinburgh. thank you very much, that's very kind. it's part of a uk wide project to get trees planted to mark the platinum jubilee. alongside a four—day bank holiday weekend injune, for a national celebration. this is the first british monarch ever to reach a platinum jubilee. and the chances of that happening again in the future, it's almost impossible to see how that will ever happen again because it involves not only someone living for a very long time, but coming to the throne very young. and it's very difficult to see how that will ever happen in the future. so this does feel very much like it has the potential to be a really historical moment. jubilees are markers of history. they are also a chance to party, to remember and to connect. perhaps never more so than this year. daniela relph, bbc news, salisbury. a big year ahead for the queen but of course 2021 had some tough times for her as well. let's speak to royal commentatorjennie bond. great to see you. this is going to be a remarkable celebration for the queen, after, as i mentioned, a difficult time.— difficult time. very difficult, goodness- _ difficult time. very difficult, goodness- i— difficult time. very difficult, goodness. i remember- difficult time. very difficult, goodness. i remember all. difficult time. very difficult, | goodness.

on several of them. but this year promises to be very special indeed, but last year was pretty awful for the queen. i reported on her annus horribilis in 1992. i don't think last year was quite as bad at that but the great tragedy was the loss of, as she put it, her beloved philip in april. we saw in her christmas messagejust philip in april. we saw in her christmas message just how much she is still missing him. there was —— there was a line in the message about his mischievous, inquiring twinkle which was just as bright at the end as it was when she first set eyes on him. there was also harry and meghan going to the united states, and the prince andrew civil law case which is still hanging over him and the whole family. and there was the lockdown and her own hill health so not an

contact but she hasn't even met her little right granddaughter. —— great granddaughter. the prince andrew case is very much alive, there will be a ruling today about a document that has been sealed and a further court hearing tomorrow. there is a lot of anxiety on what should be the best year for her. what a wonderful milestone, an extraordinary landmark. and i think everyone would hope that she can hope to find some peace and harmony in her own family and somejoy in peace and harmony in her own family and some joy in the serrations to come. and some 'oy in the serrations to come. ., ., .,

across the commonwealth. it will be much tailored back because of her health but other members of the royal family will be more prominent. certainly camilla and charles, camilla for whom the queen has

this morning, jennie. i'm sure we will be talking to plenty over the next couple of months. jennie bond, thank you. the uk's water companies dumped raw sewage into britain's rivers on 400,000 separate occasions in 2021, according to data from the environment agency. the action prompted calls for more to be done to tackle the issue, with former pop star feargal sharkey among those leading the campaign for change. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt went to meet him on the banks of the river test in hampshire. # scooby—doo dooby—doo. i want to know how a punk from northern ireland ended up the champion of britain's rivers. # get teenage kicks right through the night. feargal sharkey is probably best known for this song. # have her over cos i'm all alone. the dj john peel described teenage kicks as the best pop song ever written. the idea is feargal will teach me to fish. quite a challenge. simple. one, two, three. and you feed it with that hand a little bit? i am just letting it run through itself. if you get enough energy into it, the line itself will extend and shoot out. my turn now. just go for it. one, two. 0h. it's up in the tree. the good news is, you are not dropping your bait cast. how did a working class punk from derry end up...? this is considered the gentleman's sport, isn't it? it's a long time since anybody called me that. ironically enough, if you want to get into fly fishing, there is no finer place than northern ireland. a, it is not considered elitist, because lots of people do it. it is cheap, easily accessible and it is open to all. was that cross community? yes. i don't remember on the bank ofany lough, lake... so you might be fishing next to a protestant? there are bombs going off and you are like, how are the fish rising? oh, there is a good spot down there for trout. you have to bear in mind this thing about catholics and protestants, i had neighbours who were protestant. did it ever come up? no. it didn't, because ironically enough, they were living the same kind of lives. the brown trout in the river are out of season, so we are going after a related species called grayling. one of the beauties about grayling, incredibly sensitive to water quality. so if you've got grayling you know your river is in good shape. when feargal sharkey hit the big time and moved to london, he kept up his fly fishing hobby. and being an enterprising sort, he has ended up as chairman of the oldest fly fishing club in england, the amwell magna in hertfordshire. and that is what sparked his campaigning. i began to realise there had been a big issue involving the drop in the volume of water in the river. and it is a conversation that had been going on with the environment agency and local water company for 15, 16 years. i could not comprehend why anybody was still talking about something 16 years later. and, at that point, as i now describe it, i got an itch and, stupidly, i scratched that itch. as it turns out, every time i scratch that itch, ijust end up with a bigger itch. he means the more he researched the issues facing britain's rivers, the more serious he realised the problems are. every single river in the country is polluted. i didn't make that up — that is the environment agency data. so the truth is one of the biggest sources of that pollution is the water industry. pretty much every river in the country is now contaminated with sewage to some degree or other. now, they are saying these are sewage overflows. so they are required, because the system is flooding and they need to clear the water out. that is basically their argument. and it is also an argument that very handily overlooks the fact that this country was taken to the european court ofjustice in 2012 and the european court ofjustice ruled what is going on in this country is illegal. and that sewage overflows should only ever be used in exceptional situations. so we now know that last year they spent 3.1 million hours on 400,000 separate occasions. is there anything remotely exceptional about any of that? in november, the environment agency announced a major investigation into 2000 sewage works in england. a triumph for feargal and britain's other river campaigners. and now he's got a new target in his sights. the truth is the biggest polluter in this country is actually agriculture. and the industrialisation of food production, meat production, chickens, because all of that fertiliser creates a massive explosion in the population of little microorganisms and the simple truth of the matter is, extraordinary idea that it is, the fish actually suffocate because of lack of oxygen in the river or the lake. that is the modern world we are creating. go for it. as you have probably guessed, we didn't catch anything. but, as i am learning, that is not really the point. it is about being out beside a beautiful river putting the world to rights. there you go, my boy. oh, that's what i need. cheers. i'll stick with a good old british cup of tea. thanks for teaching me. slainte mhaith. good lesson. maybe i will catch something next time. welcome to the world of fly fishing. justin rowlatt, bbc news, hampshire. and

injanuary. some of us starting of with some sunshine in leeds, the cold air in scotland will push southwards through the rest of today, tonight and tomorrow. here it is, you can see the blues representing the cold, moving steadily south across the whole of the uk, by tomorrow evening it will be the channel islands hanging on to something a bit milder. a weather front sinking south, producing some rain, in the package, it will be turning to snow. a few showers turning to snow. a few showers turning thundery, in wales, and a line of rain in the english channel. and also northern ireland. about that for many of us, weather front will sing south during the day and as the cold air cut in behind it, and ahead of it, brisk winds blowing in some showers through the day. a lot of dry weather and the weather front across english channel bringing in some rain at times as well. highs of ii in the south, still in the mild air, it is going to feel cold if you are in scotland today. through the evening and overnight, our weather front continues to push south, the cold air still filtering in behind it. there will be some snow in the pennines, the lake district, peak district and north west wales, but most substantial in northern scotland, some at lower levels. with gailfull—screen scotland, some at lower levels. with gail full—screen this on the highest ground, we'll be issues with drifting —— with gale force winds. it will be a cold night for many of us away from the far south. we will hang onto the milder conditions at some stage. we will start off with no in scotland —— with the snow, looking at 50 to 60 miles an hour, combination of blizzards and drifting. over the summits and exposed coasts, we can have gusts as much as 70 miles an hour. in between the two systems, the wind will be picking up in the west blowing in further showers towards western areas. also wintry on the hills in the west. four in the north, eight in the south. the channel islands are still 10 degrees, still in the milder air. we start off on a cold late on wednesday. a ridge of high pressure builds, still a few showers in the north and the east and temperature —wise, we are looking at four to 9 degrees. then things changed again. the weather starts coming in from the atlantic. a clutch of weather fronts erasing this area of high pressure, one look at those isobars tells us it is going to be windy. dry in the far south—east and as the rain bumped into this colder air, it will turn to snow mostly on the hills. it will be a windy day and these are our temperatures. back

it's amazing how a landscape can have a warmth to it. wow. wow, look at this! that makes me smile. wow. hey, there! hello! hello, hi. well, look at this. this is a riot of colour. this is really

reasons that people love the series so much and why it has gone on for so long. it's because it's all of us, we all have a story to tell. how often do you walk down the street and sit on the bus and new see someone there, and maybe you just ignore them, but if you actually opened a conversation, you would be amazed at what you can learn from them. and with this series, because i spend seven, sometimes ten days living with these individuals, i really get to the bottom of who they are and why they are there. under the root of this, it's this whole idea of whether we are happy with the lives that we have chosen to live. not all of us are born and live where we belong. so many of these people have chased that happiness, and live their life is a journey, notjust a destination. and ifind that is a journey, notjust a destination. and i find that really empowering and uplifting and moving. i want to talk about the motivations, you touched on a couple of the examples, of what it is that is encouraging these people to get away from it all. we will talk about that in a second, we have got a clip from another episode, this is todd, who left a busyjob in london and moved to basically a

motivations of people like todd and others and how they have simplified their lives. so many of us have complicated their lives, technology has made things easier, chatting to you from rural oxfordshire via phone has made it easier but there is a huge publication and that is adding to the mental health epidemic that is facing so many of us. almost everyone in this series, by coincidence or maybe not, have suffered some sort of trauma in their lives. that story the story of todd and his family, that will really resonate with people. each individual story might be resonating to you as
