to get a bit easier? the government will today look at the testing process for returning home. the airlines industry is warning of financial disaster unless things change. a breakthrough for england in the fourth ashes test. stuart broad with the only wicket as rain affects day one in sydney. good morning. a cold and frosty started the day for us with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces, but as a ridge of high pressure builds a cross is, things will quieten down, the wind will ease. all the detail throughout the programme. it's wednesday the 5th of january. our main story. more hospital trusts in england have declared critical incidents, the highest state of alert, as the nhs comes under significant strain from rising covid infections. with uk daily cases at a record 219,000 yesterday, the prime minister has acknowledged that parts of the health service could be temporarily overwhelmed in the coming weeks. seven hospital trusts in england have reported serious problems so far while in greater manchester, 17 hospitals are pausing some non—urgent surgery. and morriston hospital in swansea has limited services due to ongoing staff shortages. this report now from jon donnison. derriford hospital in plymouth is one of a growing number to declare a critical incident because of 0micron pressures on staffing levels, as well as the growing burden of those needing care. hospitals in blackpool, norfolk, wiltshire, morecambe bay and lincoln have also raised the alarm. in plymouth, they are warning the situation is increasingly complex. we have got patients who are coming in who are absolutely covid positive and they need to be in a designated area of the hospital. and those numbers are increasing. and then we've got patients who are in hospital, who tested negative on admission but then don't have symptoms, and then develop symptoms and then accessing positive. and then are testing positive. and in manchester last night, 17 hospitals a pause on nonurgent surgery citing the rising impact of covid—19 and staff absence levels of around 15%. those hospitals are under pressure notjust because of the number of patients coming in with covid, but also because unfortunately, many of our staff are now isolating because they themselves have covid as well. and it's those two pressures, the patients coming in and the reduction in our staffing, staff being available, that is having the impact at present. although pressure on intensive care might be less severe than in previous waves, the 0micron variant is so transmissible, it's seen the numbers with covid in hospital in england alone double in under a fortnight. the prime minister isn't thinking of more restrictions at the moment, but he admits the next few weeks will be hard. there will be a difficult period for our wonderful nhs for the next few weeks because of 0micron. i just think that we have to get through it as best as we possibly can. we will give the nhs all the support that we can. but in the meantime, the thing we've got to do as responsible members of the public is follow the guidance, try to stop transmission as much as we can and get boosted. there is some evidence that cases in young adults might be flattening off, but the worry now is that older adults are becoming infected, adding even more to the strain in the nhs. that's why government advisers are warning that hospital admissions could be going up for quite some time. jon donnison, bbc news. let's speak to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning, adam, great to see you. the prime minister is due to be holding a cabinet meeting today to review england's cabinet restrictions —— covid restrictions, which should we expect? it restrictions -- covid restrictions, which should we expect?- restrictions -- covid restrictions, which should we expect? it will be virtual because _ which should we expect? it will be virtual because they _ which should we expect? it will be virtual because they are _ which should we expect? it will be virtual because they are working i virtual because they are working from home as well and we know what will be proposed because the prime minister told us yesterday, he will propose that the plan b restrictions in england, more masks in more places, covid certificates for nightclubs and big events and carrying on working from home, that that should be continued until the end of the month. that has been a pretty inevitable outcome if you look at what the prime minister has been saying in advance and the high rate of 0micron cases. there will be a parliament statement confirming it later and mps will be watching to see if there are any hints as to when the measures will come to an end. they are supposed to finish on the 26th of january but with the prime minister talking about several weeks of pressure on the nhs and several death —— difficult weeks, does that mean the measures will be extended and that could pose a political problem for him? some newspapers _ political problem for him? some newspapers reporting _ political problem for him? some newspapers reporting this - political problem for him? some newspapers reporting this morning that covid testing rules could be relaxed further. at that covid testing rules could be relaxed further.— that covid testing rules could be relaxed further. at the moment, if ou test relaxed further. at the moment, if you test positive _ relaxed further. at the moment, if you test positive on _ relaxed further. at the moment, if you test positive on one _ relaxed further. at the moment, if you test positive on one of- relaxed further. at the moment, if you test positive on one of the - you test positive on one of the lateral flow devices, if you can get one, then you are then advised to get a confirmation test as a pcr test from test entries. there is speculation that that advice will be changed and if you test positive on lateral flow, changed and if you test positive on lateralflow, the changed and if you test positive on lateral flow, the advice will be keep testing and be cautious, you don't need to get a pcr. the reason they do that is to reduce the demand on pcr tests because there are a lot ask king for tests, that means fewer people would have to be in isolation and the isolation would be a shorter period because at the moment you have to wait for your pcr test results for your isolation to technically start. that would be another measure to reduce demand on testing but also mean there are fewer people calling in sick to work. because that is having a huge impact on the health service in particular at the moment but probably on the wider economy in the next few weeks.— probably on the wider economy in the next few weeks. thank you very much, adam. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon will give an update today on any possible changes to the self—isolation period for covid. the scottish government has been urged to cut it from ten days to seven, with negative tests, as has been done in other parts of the uk. scotland is currently reporting an average of 16,000 daily cases. ajudge in new york is considering whether to dismiss a civil case accusing prince andrew of sexual assault. the prince's lawyers say his accuser, virginia giuffre, can't sue because of a deal she made in 2009 when she accepted damages from jeffrey epstein. prince andrew has consistently denied her allegations, as our royal correspondentjonny dymond reports. she says she was sexually assaulted by prince andrew three times. he denies every allegation and says he can't remember meeting her. his lawyers argued the whole case should be dismissed. the civil case rests partly on this meeting in london, a night when virginia giuffre, here aged 17, says she was forced to have sex with prince andrew. when he spoke to the bbc in 2019, he denied the allegations again and again. you can say categorically that you don't recall meeting virginia roberts, dining with her, dancing with her at tramp or going on to have sex with her in a bedroom in a house in belgravia? yes, i can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened. do you recall any kind of sexual contact with virginia roberts, then or at any other time? none, none whatsoever. in new york, the lawyers battled in court for the first time. at the centre of their arguments, a deal struck between andrew's accuser and his formerfriend, jeffrey epstein. epstein paid virginia giuffre $500,000. their deal released any other person who could have been included as a potential defendant from further legal challenge by virginia giuffre. prince andrew's lawyers needed to persuade the judge that the 2009 deal covered the prince. it is unquestionable, the court heard, that prince andrew could have been sued in the 2009 florida action but was not. he was a potential defendant. the prince's lawyers demanded details of the allegations against their client, but they were slapped down by thejudge. "that's not a dog that's going to hunt here," he said. finally questions were raised as to whether the prince could even use the 2009 deal. he is a third party, the court heard. the judge said, "the only people who could enforce it were jeffrey epstein and virginia giuffre". thejudge was quite aggressive in his questioning of prince andrew's attorneys as they raised technical argument after technical argument, trying to get virginia's case dismissed. the judge did not seem to be having any of it. even if this case is dismissed, prince andrew will, say royal watchers, struggle to return to his previous public life. when it comes to the monarchy, the monarchy is obviously an institution which is big enough to rise above what has happened. but when it comes to prince andrew, one has to say that one can see no role in royal life for him in the immediate future or the intermediate feature. just getting this far has damaged prince andrew, and if the case is not dismissed, it will hang over this jubilee year. the queen's second son threatened with having to testify in a new york court. now they wait. the judge in new york says a decision will come pretty soon. jonny dymond, bbc news. a memorial to the 22 people killed in the manchester arena terror attack will officially open to the public from today. the white marble circle in the grounds of manchester cathedral has been

for some. at a wedge of milder air behind it so we will see a return to rain before cold air comes in later on and then we seek a return to wintry showers. thank you, no sun shield required here! thank you, carol. this year will mark the 40th anniversary of the falklands conflict which claimed the lives of 255 british and 649 argentinian troops. 0ur defence correspondentjonathan beale has been looking back at the events of 1982 and speaking with some of the veterans who fought in the conflict. it was a war on the other side of the world. on april the 2nd,1982, argentine forces invaded the falkland islands and claimed it as their own. the task force, with all its power, is ready. britain has gathered its might, it must set its course. accompanied by the late brian hanrahan for the bbc, a task force of more than 100 ships had set sail within days to make the 8000 milejourney. their task, to liberate the islands. i thought we had better get ready and take it seriously, but i'm not quite sure that i absolutely believed we would do it. but as they sailed south, resolve hardened. first with the controversial sinking of the argentine cruiser the general belgrano with the loss of 323 lives. we didn't cheer when she was sunk, because we were in a ship, as well. we knew there were argentine submarines. we could have ended up in the same boat, all the same water. so we suddenly realised that it was going to be a proper hot war. notjust a hot war, it would be the largest air and sea battle involving british forces since the second world war. a hundred aircraft and more than 20 ships would either be destroyed or damaged. julian thompson was the man charged with the initial british landings at san carlos on the 21st of may. luckily it was thick fog. so the argentine air force never found us. we knew they were trying to find us. we could hear them zooming around and trying to find us. they might have created a bit of mayhem had they have done so. that was the bit i was really worried about. once we had ourfeet on the ground, i knew we were on our way to winning. so great was the scale of victory that, four days after the surrender, nobody has had time to tidy up. goose green was the first time british paratroopers came face—to—face with the enemy. the british lost 18 men, among them friends of paul bishop, who was just 21. after we took casualties and friends had been killed, my feelings was hate towards them. we wanted to take out as many as we could. we wanted to remove them from the islands. later, paul witnessed this, the argentine attacks at bluff cove, where the british lost more than 50 men. he tried to help the dozens injured ashore, but the argentines weren't the only enemy to contend with. winter was coming. a lot of the guys, we just cuddled up together to keep warm at night, and when you wake up, you would do running on the spot or sit ups or press ups to try and get warm and fall back asleep for ten minutes again, wake up freezing cold. so that is how difficult it was. we are now between the two gun lines and there is a right old artillery duel going on between them. the battle on the ground tookjust over a month. short, but victory would be bittersweet for robert lawrence, a young lieutenant in the scots guards who fought in one of the last battles at tumbledown. it became gutter fighting. ammunition, you know, re—supplies aren't going to happen in the middle of a battle, so once you are using up your own munition, you start using whatever you can lay your hands on, including enemy weapons, and your bayonet. towards the end of the battle, robert was shot in the head by a sniper. the bullet had hit me in the back of the head and came out up here, just in my hairline above my right eye, removing four by three inches of skull and damaging the brain quite severely. 0n the 14th ofjune, the argentines surrendered. 649 of them lost their lives. the british had lost 255 men. so what will the 40th anniversary mean for these three veterans? i had great pride in what i've done. and i've always acknowledged that the injury i have is easier to live with emotionally because i did it in a sort of glorious event than i fell out of a hotel window or, you know, fell off a moped. i personally don't expect anything from the country, from the government. we just volunteered to do it and we did it. it would be nice to be remembered. i visit the san carlos cemetery and usually shed a tear there. | and look out over that - peaceful water and remember what it was like with guns firing and ships being hit _ and aeroplanes bombing. the contrast is really quite remarkable. i yeah. you still shed a tear about it? yeah, one does, yeah. a0 years on from a war on the other side of the world, but they are still remembered. jonathan beale, bbc news. 40 yea rs, 40 years, extraordinary to see those pictures again. we will speak to robert fox, a defence corresponded but worked for the bbc and was one of the people on the falkland islands at the time, that will be later on the programme. let's take a look at some of today's papers. the daily telegraph reports that testing rules could be relaxed as part of efforts to ease staffing shortages. the paper suggests that millions who test positive on lateral flow devices will no longer need to take follow—up pcr tests. we will talk to the government at half past seven to try and get some clarity on that. the times leads with the prime minister's insistence that no further covid restrictions are necessary despite more than 200,000 new cases being reported in a day. it quotes england's chief medical officer, sir chris whitty, saying cases among young adults in london appeared to be "levelling off or falling", but he stressed the effect of new year's eve parties had yet to be seen. the mirror has an image of prince andrew, who is waiting for a judge in new york to make a decision on whether to dismiss a civil case accusing him of sexual assault. the prince has consistently denied the allegations. and this is the metro's back page reporting on the tennis star novak djokovic being granted a controversial medical exemption which allows him to play in the australian open, without proving he has been vaccinated against covid. the headline is "no—vax? no problem". we will talk about that later because it has not gone down terribly well in the tennis or australian communities. we terribly well in the tennis or australian communities. we are going to be in melbourne, _ australian communities. we are going to be in

yesterday when we finally heard from the footballer christian eriksen for the footballer christian eriksen for the first time since his collapse at the first time since his collapse at the euro we chappie chips. do remember this? the euro we chappie chips. do rememberthis? —— championships. you are watching at home, christian eriksen literally collapsed, you saw his team mates form a ring around him to protect him while he was given cpr. he gave an interview and it was released yesterday and he admitted that he died for five minutes. that was the astonishing thing, when you think he was carried off of the football pitch conscious off of the football pitch conscious of thanks to the prompt work of the people around him. he praised everybody who helped save his life as well as a denmark team—mates who shielded him. ithank as well as a denmark team—mates who shielded him. i thank the doctors, my team—mates, all the families in person and he wants to play again. that was some

different attitudes to covid lockdowns but here's an example from the stricter end of the spectrum. the chinese authorities have locked down the entire city of yuzhou, population 1.2 million, after the discovery ofjust three covid cases. it's part of their "zero covid" strategy, as our china correspondent robin brant explains. this is extreme, even by china's standards. a city shut down because ofjust three new cases with no symptoms. everyone is prohibited from leaving the city, the sign says. 1 million plus people are now in lockdown in yuzhou. the latest proof that china is very committed to its zero covid strategy. translation: it doesn't bother me to do a covid test at midnight, - it's for our own safety. 300 miles away and two weeks ahead of yuzhou is xi'an, a city famed for its terracotta warriors, where 13 million people have now been locked down since before christmas. what started out a fortnight ago with a late—night army of officials welding gates shut has led to this. some people banned from leaving their tower blocks have taken to bartering with their neighbours. cigarettes for vegetables, other goods for sanitary towels. this is what most of china looks like. it's busy. yes, you have to have a mask when you get on the metro and there is a temperature check, but the government says its zero covid strategy has achieved this for about 18 months now. that's a strategy that includes things like this, pop—up tents where you can get a booster on the home, and win prizes as well. but it also includes very, very harsh measures that can be imposed on a city in a matter of hours. harsh measures, brutal enforcement. it's been part of china's covid containment since the beginning. just last month, some cities were parading covid spreading offenders in public. keeping cases at near zero is now even more important as china prepares to host another 0lympics. the winter games in beijing is just a month away. china's president xi jinping saw for himself the final preparations on tuesday. 0n the brink of a third term in power, he wants and needs a smooth ride at the games. zero covid essential to that. robin brant, bbc news, shanghai. they are determined

still to come on today's programme. we'll hearfrom one mountain rescue leader who is begging walkers and climbers to think carefully before tackling peaks after his volunteers were called out 11 times over the festive week, including twice on christmas day. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from the news teams in london and the south east. the chair of the kent association of headteachers has warned schools face a perfect storm amid fears over teacher absences and lateral flow test shortages this term. mike walters is concerned about a potential shortfall of supply teaching staff as more teachers self—isolate after catching the virus. a meeting is due today between kent headteachers, the department for education and council officials to discuss the challenges faced by schools. nearly a quarter of a million stop—and—searches were carried out by the metropolitan police in the past 12 months. but black people were nearly four times as likely to be stopped as white people. it's one of the measures used by police to tackle knife crime. in a roundtable discussion, young londoners have been sharing their experiences with local officers. you are either in a state of confusion or a state of fear. but officers don't understand that and their perception of you already is you are shifty. we absolutely know there is disproportionality in the number of young black men who are stopped and searched. and these opportunities just to come and have these sorts of chats, for us as local officers, is absolutely vital. a man has been charged with assualt after a woman was sprayed with a noxious substance in portslade on new year's day. the woman was taken to hospital but discharged later the same day and is understood not to have suffered any lasting ill—effects. 33—year—old shaine tester, from bognor, appeared in court yesterday and has been remanded in custody. the substance is still being identified but is not thought to be acid. work to restore a historic station in sussex is due to begin in the spring after a major fundraising appeal. the bluebell railway has raised more than half a million pounds to repair leaking roofs and replace rotting beams at horsted keynes. and from lions and tigers to colonies of ants — the annual stocktake has begun at london zoo. the audit of more than 400 species takes about a week to finish and helps to manage breeding programmes. newcomers being counted this year include an asiatic lioness and a rare sumatran tiger cub born just before christmas. the reality is we count the animals every single day as part of ourjob, but we also do a slightly more official one, which is part of our zoo licensing. but it gives us the chance to reflect on the relevance of counting animals in times where wild populations are dwindling so much. now here's the weather gillain brown. good morning. another cold and crisp day across london and the south east. there will be plenty of sunshine around, but it is going to be a very cold start. i think we will see a bit of cloud rolling into the afternoon. generally, lots of brightness and a very cold day ahead. temperatures not getting much above 6 celsius. so still very much in single figures. tonight, it will stay dry and clear. temperatures will get the chance to fall away to below freezing. i think it is likely we could see temperatures around —6 in some spots. very frosty, icy start to the day tomorrow. over the next couple of days, we will hang on to the colder temperatures, but we will start to see rain pushing in as we head towards the end of the week. that's all from me, see you soon. that's it from me for now. i'll be back in half an hour's time. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast

0'donnell willjoin us for a chat about her new channel 4 drama screw, in which she plays a trainee prison officer with a lot to learn. the requirements for covid testing around international travel could be about to change. nina can tell us more. good morning, january blues, one way of beating that could be to book a holiday but people are reticent at the moment because of testing. let’s the moment because of testing. let's remind ourselves. _ things got a little easier last year when it came to travel, but the arrival of 0micron in autumn brought with it some extra requirements. testing when coming home has been a key part of this. lateral flow tests within two days of getting home — were moved to pcr tests, which are double the price. and the government reintroduced the extra test before leaving to return to the uk. so as things stand its two tests, costing each traveller around £65. today, there's speculation that could change — if the government decides to drop the test before you begin yourjourney home. and there's lots of evidence that will spur travellers to book. that's what lorraine did last time. we are a couple that go on holiday regularly, but, over the last year and a half, two years, because of all the hassle with the pcr testing that we would need to go, we chose not to. having said that, back end of last year, restrictions did ease and with the knowledge that we would only need a lateral flow test on our return, we chose to book a fortnight in cape verde forjanuary. the travel industry has argued that since 0micron is already widely established, is there any point in taking two tests. they argue the double testing puts people off and is disastrous for the industry. many people have seen testing for travel as really costly and quite inconvenient. and it has put a lot of people off travelling. we have seen, before the 0micron variant emerged, that income in the travel industry was down by around 80%, and it will only have got worse while these temporary 0micron restrictions have been in place. the government has told us they have made £8 billion available in support of the industry — but have hinted in the past that restrctions could ease if 0micron became widespread. we find out later if changes are coming. this cover is returning to the uk but make sure you check the rules of the place you are travelling to. their rules could change. and as ever make sure you are insured against any cancellation. we will. is it that bad? shall we check in and find out. sums up shall we check in and find out. sums up the series so far and in fairness the opening day. they promise rain. there has been a lot of it and interruptions. australia won the task. england took one wicket. it has been australia's day. frustrating for england. again. england went i would not say with high hopes, but their second victory in an ashes in 34 years. it would always be tough. where there is hope, you hope there is will and intent. but it has not been the easiest time to get cricket on with covid and those issues, but a lack of preparation has hit england hard and you have seen that with them being 3—0 down. hopes evaporated in 12 days. massively disappointing but they will want to put in big performances now. let's hope the rain tears. good morning. a rain—affected day for england so far. and it's been a frustrating one — just the one wicket falling. it came from stuart broad, who took the wicket of david warner, ater australia had earlier won the toss. stuart broad has enjoyed some decent spells for england. but australia moving past 100. play can continue until around 8am, so still chance for england to take a few more wickets. but still a chance of a shower or two. don't upset the boss. chelsea forward romelu lukaku apologising to his team—mates, his manager and the fans after comments he made in an interview. chelsea's record signing said he wasn't happy with his role under manager thomas tuchel and suggested he'd be keen on a return to his former club inter milan at some point in the future. he was dropped for the match against liverpool at the weekend, but is back in the squad for their efl cup semifinal tonight having straightened things out with the boss. the most important thing was to understand it was not intentional. he did not do this intentionally to create this kind of noise in front of a big game. and the second one, it was the very first time. there was never the slightest behaviour against the team. and these are very important points, to stay calm and understand it is not that big as may be people want it to be or you want it to be. it is also not small, but it to be. it is also not small, but it is small enough to stay calm, to accept an apology, and to move forward. be accept an apology, and to move forward. �* ., i. accept an apology, and to move forward. �* ., ., forward. be careful what you say and who ou forward. be careful what you say and who you

their match with arsenal to be postponed. the club say they've so many covid cases in their squad they can't get a team out to play. the team were led by their assistant on sunday withjurgen klopp isolating with the virus. the efl are considering the request. it was one of the most devastating events we saw in sport last year when denmark's christian eriksen collapsed on the field at euro 2020. now, the midfielder says he wants to be ready to play for his country again at this year's world cup. eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in front of his home fans in copenhagen back injune. he's since been released by inter milan and is free to join a new club. and eriksen believes he's fit enough to play again at the very top. translation: my goal is to play at the world cup in qatar. - i want to play. that has been my mindset all along. whether i will be picked is another thing, but it is my dream to come back. i'm sure i can come back, because i don't feel any different. physically, i'm back in top shape. that's been my goal and it's still some time away, so until then i'm going to play football and prove that i'm back at the same level. he certainly has the talent and would be some story if he returned to the top level and made the possible return to england where he played at tottenham. newcastle united have made their first signing since the saudi—backed takeover at st james' park. england fullback kieran trippier. remember this goal from the 2018 world cup? fans on tyneside can look forward to those free kicks. newcastle have agreed a £12 million fee with atletico madrid. trippier will be reunited with manager eddie howe, who signed him while he was at burnley. everyone expects newcastle to spend huge amounts of money. that is not a ridiculous amount. for a player of proven quality and a player, let's not forget newcastle second from bottom, it is notjust who you signed at the right character. someone who will get stuck in. you have a relegation battle. you need the right character. real leaders who will galvanise the team and club. i think kieran trippier is a proven international with england and can do that. thanks. who else will they get now? sticking with sport, here's some news for tennis fans. novak djokovic will defend his australian open title in a fortnight after receiving a medical exemption from having a covid—19 vaccination. his involvement had been in doubt because of australia's strict virus protocols. and some confusion about whether he had the vaccine or wanted it. sports correspondent katie gornall has more. novak djokovic is not about to give up on this trophyjust yet. the world number one will now defend his australian open title following months of uncertainty. djokovic has never publicly revealed his vaccination status, but he wrote on social media he was heading down under and has been granted an exemption permission, which removes the requirement to be vaccinated in order to play in melbourne. djokovic isn't alone in receiving an exemption, but the news has raised some eyebrows in the tennis community. i don't know what to say about that, really. i mean, you know, ithink if it was me that wasn't vaccinated i wouldn't be getting an exemption. but well done to him for getting clear to come to australia and compete. 0rganisers of the australian open said his medical exemption was granted after a rigorous review process involving two separate independent panels of medical experts. valid reasons for exemption include acute conditions such as cardiac illness, but it is also possible djokovic has recently tested positive for the virus, which would allow him to defer taking the vaccine. whatever the reason, djokovic now has another chance to move clear of roger federer and rafa nadal, with the three tied on 20 grand slam titles. although with melbourne having experienced some of the toughest covid restrictions in the world, many there may not take too kindly to him turning up at all. we can find out the reaction in melbourne. lisbeth gorr is a reporter based in melbourne where the open takes place. how has it gone down, the news djokovic will be heading your way? as you can imagine, given we have had stringent lockdown conditions, there are people questioning just how kosher those decisions were. two independent review panels as you heard. the interesting thing is, our crowds tend to be vocal, so whilst today's opinion pieces in the papers have not been advocating loud booing when he makes his way on to court, you can imagine there will be. you think that feelings will be running high when the tennis begins? you have to high when the tennis begins? yet have to understand the situation he is flying into. he is flying into a city that is rampant with 0micron at the moment. we cannot get into testing centres. they are temporarily suspended. like me, i am broadcasting from my bedroom with suspected covid but i cannot get a test apart from those we do at home. people cannot get tests. we are isolating, and there we have a wealthy tennis star flying in. if he was transparent about his condition i'm sure these things would be alleviated but i guess secrecy around it is giving people the pit. i know he is a public figure, but it is a private medical issue. i suppose he has every right to keep it to himself. and in the piece we just played suggested, there could be private medical reasons he might not want to share that might excuse in getting a vaccine.— in getting a vaccine. certainly, but that does rrot _ in getting a vaccine. certainly, but that does not alleviate _ in getting a vaccine. certainly, but that does not alleviate the - that does not alleviate the instantaneous feeling that melbourne, who loves its heroes and villains, will actually present him with. interestingly, tennis players have the lowest vaccination rate out of most professional sportsmen, 65% of most professional sportsmen, 65% of professional players double vaccinated. people suggest it is because they move around all the time and are not in one spot long enough to get the double vaccine but we would have thought the circuit would take care of it. perhaps because it is a singular sport there is not a sense of taking one for the team. tennis players seem to be a more narcissistic, single—minded bunch. more narcissistic, single-minded

everything we - ahead? i have a feeling that we are trying to do everything we can - ahead? i have a feeling that we are trying to do everything we can to i trying to do everything we can to avoid them. the major problem is we cannot get the tests at the moment. there was an announcement today from the federal government saying they will bring in millions of test so we have access and can find out the results. the other problem was the tests that were here were distributed to private dispensaries, big retail wholesalers, and the word around that was those wholesalers were people who were donating to the federal government, liberal party's offers, so there has been controversy about that. we are kind of thing covid chaos. luckily the 0micron strand seems to be gentler than delta. but certainly, the balance between putting the australian open on with the number one chasing his 21st grand slam title and keeping that revenue going, because the economy has taken a battering with endless lockdowns, thatis a battering with endless lockdowns, that is a fine balance between the economy and health. we are walking that precariously and everyone wants to do everything to avoid more

professionals _ more concerning melbourne? there are 3000 tennis professionals converging l 3000 tennis professionals converging on australia for the summer of tennis which is fabulous for us and the

the events had to be double vaccinated. we all have to show our certificate we have had vaccinations. to bring it back to the beginning of the conversation, thatis the beginning of the conversation, that is why people are a little bit miffed. we have shown leadership and community spirit taking one for the team with this double vaccination rate in the community and that is why there will be this,

extend by a day. carol has some wintry weather. looking ratherfestive. good morning. a cold start. if you have not stepped outside it is frosty with the risk of ice on surfaces. we will see lengthy sunny spells and wintry showers in the forecast. some of the wintry showers get down to low levels, sea level in scotland. and we are likely to have ice on untreated services in scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, wales and perhaps down as far as the midlands. but a lot of sunshine. the wind easing as high—pressure bills. wintry showers along the east coast. and wintry showers in the west. temperatures roughly 4—9 north to south. where we have snow, the temperature might not get higher than freezing. 0vernight, still some wintry showers. a lot of dry weather. clear skies. still some wintry showers. a lot of dry weather. clearskies. it still some wintry showers. a lot of dry weather. clear skies. it means the temperature is on the way down. a cold night. a frosty night, and in parts of northern england temperatures could fall to —6. in the highlands, as low as —10. by the end of the night cloud and rain coming in across northern ireland. the wind will strengthen here. and tomorrow, there will be snow on the leading—edge and for some at low levels. time to get the news where you are. good morning from the news teams in london and the south east. the chair of the kent association of headteachers has warned schools face a "perfect storm" this term amid fears over teacher absences and shortages of lateral flow tests. mike walters is concerned about a potential shortfall of supply teachers as more staff have to self—isolate. a meeting is due today between kent headteachers, the department for education and council officials to discuss the challenges. nearly a quarter of a million stop and searches were carried out by the metropolitan police in the last 12 months, but black people were nearly four times as likely to be stopped as white people. it's one of the measures used by police to tackle knife crime. in a roundtable discussion. young londoners have been sharing their experiences with local officers. you are either in a state of confusion or a state of fear. but officers don't understand that and their perception of you already is you are shifty. we absolutely know there is disproportionality in the number of young black men who are stopped and searched. and these opportunities just to come and have these sorts of chats, for us as local officers, is absolutely vital. a man has been charged with assualt after a woman was sprayed with a noxious substance in portslade on new year's day. the woman was taken to hospital but discharged later the same day and is understood not to have suffered any lasting ill—effects. 33—year—old shaine tester from bognor appeared in court yesterday and has been remanded in custody. the substance is still being identified but is not thought to be acid. smokers in kent are being encouraged to quit the habit as one of their new year's resolutions in kent smoking rates have fallen from around one—in—five in 2011 to less than one—in—seven in 2019. the county council has supported more than 3000 smokers to quit over the past year. and from lions and tigers to colonies of ants — the annual stocktake has begun at london zoo. the audit of more than 400 species takes about a week to complete and helps to manage breeding programmes. the reality is we count the animals every single day as part of ourjob, but we also do a slightly more official one, which is part of our zoo licensing. but it gives us the chance to reflect on the relevance of counting animals in times where wild populations are dwindling so much. now here's the weather with gillian brown. good morning. another cold and crisp day across london and the south east. there will be plenty of sunshine around, but it is going to be a very cold start. i think we will see a bit of cloud rolling into the afternoon. generally, lots of brightness and a very cold day ahead. temperatures not getting much above 6 celsius. so still very much in single figures. tonight, it will stay dry and clear. temperatures will get the chance to fall away to below freezing. i think it is likely we could see temperatures around —6 in some spots. very frosty, icy start to the day tomorrow. over the next couple of days, we will hang on to the colder temperatures, but we will start to see rain pushing in as we head towards the end of the week. that's all from me, see you soon. that's it from me for now. i'll be back in half an hour's time. have a very good morning. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. the nhs under strain from coronavirus. more trusts in england declare critical incidents and 17 hospitals in greater manchester put some non urgent surgery on hold. hospitals are under pressure not just because of the number of patients coming in with covid, but also because unfortunately, many of our staff are now isolating because they themselves have covid as well. the cabinet is expected to stick with current covid restrictions in england when it meets today, while in scotland, ministers will consider cutting self—isolation time. good morning. england playing for pride take three wickets on a rain—affected opening day of the fourth ashes test in sydney. good morning. a cold and frosty start with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. this morning, snow down to low levels in scotland, in the north, coupled with strong winds, but through the day, their wintry showers on the coastlines will fade and the wind will ease and many of us will have a sunny day. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 5th of january. our main story. more hospital trusts in england have declared critical incidents, the highest state of alert, as the nhs comes under significant strain from rising covid infections. with uk daily cases at a record 219,000 yesterday, the prime minister has acknowledged that parts of the health service could be temporarily overwhelmed in the coming weeks. seven hospital trusts in england have reported serious problems so far, while in greater manchester, 17 hospitals are pausing some non—urgent surgery. and morriston hospital in swansea has limited services due to ongoing staff shortages. this report now from jon donnison. derriford hospital in plymouth is one of a growing number to declare a critical incident because of 0micron pressures on staffing levels, as well as the growing burden of those needing care. hospitals in blackpool, norfolk, wiltshire, morecambe bay and lincoln have also raised the alarm. in plymouth, they are warning the situation is increasingly complex. we have got patients who are coming in who are absolutely covid positive and they need to be in a designated area of the hospital. and those numbers are increasing. and then we've got patients who are in hospital, who tested negative on admission but then don't have symptoms, and then develop symptoms and then are testing positive. and in manchester last night, 17 hospitals a pause on nonurgent surgery citing the rising impact of covid—19 and staff absence levels of around 15%. those hospitals are under pressure notjust because of the number of patients coming in with covid, but also because unfortunately, many of our staff are now isolating because they themselves have covid as well. and it's those two pressures, the patients coming in and the reduction in our staffing, staff being available, that is having the impact at present. although pressure on intensive care might be less severe than in previous waves, the 0micron variant is so transmissible, it's seen the numbers with covid in hospital in england alone double in under a fortnight. the prime minister isn't thinking of more restrictions at the moment, but he admits the next few weeks will be hard. there will be a difficult period for our wonderful nhs for the next few weeks because of 0micron. i just think that we have to get through it as best as we possibly can. we will give the nhs all the support that we can. but in the meantime, the thing we've got to do as responsible members of the public is follow the guidance, try to stop transmission as much as we can and get boosted. there is some evidence that cases in young adults might be flattening off, but the worry now is that older adults are becoming infected, adding even more to the strain in the nhs. that's why government advisers are warning that hospital admissions could be going up for quite some time. jon donnison, bbc news. let's speak to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. cabinet correspondent adam fleming. ministers, a cabinet today, cabinet ministers, a cabinet meeting today, what can we expect? there are a few interesting _ today, what can we expect? there are a few interesting politics _ today, what can we expect? there are a few interesting politics going - today, what can we expect? there are a few interesting politics going on i a few interesting politics going on here, borisjohnson said he would recommend to the cabinet that plan b stay in place and so that's him trying to show that he is a little bit more collegiate and working better than his colleagues after all the trouble he had at the end of last year. —— working better with his colleagues. that will be followed with the statement in parliament, and concerned backbenchers will be looking at any clues as to whether plan b will have to be extended beyond the end of the month because it is meant to expire on the 26th of january. the prime minister is talking about the pressure on the nhs and the pressure from the virus lasting for several weeks, so i wonder if that will take us beyond january which could cause borisjohnson some political problems with his own colleagues. people will be looking out for also the hint of a plan b plus, does the government have a contingency plan if the situation gets out of control and further measures are required? part of that might be the report in some of the papers this morning, talking about changing the testing rules again, may be relaxing them further? , ., , ., ., further? yes, that is no longer mi . ht further? yes, that is no longer might ministers _ further? yes, that is no longer might ministers are _ further? yes, that is no longer might ministers are finalising l further? yes, that is no longer- might ministers are finalising these plans. the idea is that at the moment, if you test positive on a lateral flow test, the little sticks, you then have to get a confirmation pcr test. and your isolation will only technically start when that test comes back. ministers are finalising plans to get rid of that requirement, so it will be interesting to see if they say, you have got to isolatejust will be interesting to see if they say, you have got to isolate just on the basis of a positive lateral flow test, or whether they will actually be comfortable with people who test positive on a lateral flow but don't have symptoms just to circulate in society. that would mean that ministers prioritising the country functioning and people being able to go about their business and do their jobs and keep everything going, rather than being really strict about making sure that every covid case isolating at home. it shows you the balance is changing.— the balance is changing. that's interesting. — the balance is changing. that's interesting, i—

or that the anybody? i don't know, it's one of those things where we are slightly guessing. we know that this is the direction of travel and the government is going to that. talking about travel, it looks like they will get rid of the predeparture looks like they will get rid of the predepa rtu re test looks like they will get rid of the predeparture test as well, the one that you have to do

will give an update today on any possible changes to the self—isolation period for covid. the scottish government has been urged to cut it from ten days to seven, with negative tests, as has been done in other parts of the uk. scotland is currently reporting an average of 16,000 daily cases. ajudge in new york is considering whether to dismiss a civil case accusing prince andrew of sexual assault. the prince's lawyers say his accuser, virginia giuffre, can't sue because of a deal she made in 2009 when she accepted damages from jeffrey epstein. prince andrew has consistently denied her allegations, as our royal correspondentjonny dymond reports. she says she was sexually assaulted by prince andrew three times. he denies every allegation and says he can't remember meeting her. his lawyers argued the whole case should be dismissed. the civil case rests partly on this meeting in london, a night when virginia giuffre, here aged 17, says she was forced to have sex with prince andrew. when he spoke to the bbc in 2019, he denied the allegations again and again. you can say categorically that you don't recall meeting virginia roberts, dining with her, dancing with her at tramp or going on to have sex with her in a bedroom in a house in belgravia? yes, i can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened. do you recall any kind of sexual contact with virginia roberts, then or at any other time? none, none whatsoever. in new york, the lawyers battled in court for the first time. at the centre of their arguments, a deal struck between andrew's accuser and his formerfriend, jeffrey epstein. epstein paid virginia giuffre $500,000. their deal released any other person who could have been included as a potential defendant from further legal challenge by virginia giuffre. prince andrew's lawyers needed to persuade the judge that the 2009 deal covered the prince. it is unquestionable, the court heard, that prince andrew could have been sued in the 2009 florida action but was not. he was a potential defendant. the prince's lawyers demanded details of the allegations against their client, but they were slapped down by thejudge. "that's not a dog that's going to hunt here," he said. finally questions were raised as to whether the prince could even use the 2009 deal. he is a third party, the court heard. the judge said, "the only people who could enforce it werejeffrey epstein and virginia giuffre". thejudge was quite aggressive in his questioning of prince andrew's attorneys as they raised technical argument after technical argument, trying to get virginia's case dismissed. the judge did not seem to be having any of it. even if this case is dismissed, prince andrew will, say veteran royal watchers, struggle to return to his previous public life. when it comes to the monarchy, the monarchy is obviously an institution which is big enough to rise above what has happened. but when it comes to prince andrew, one has to say that one can see no role in royal life for him in the immediate future or the intermediate feature. just getting this far has damaged prince andrew, and if the case is not dismissed, it will hang over this jubilee year. the queen's second son threatened with having to testify in a new york court. now they wait. the judge in new york says a decision will come pretty soon. jonny dymond, bbc news. a memorial to the 22 people killed in the manchester arena terror attack will officially open to the public from today. the white marble circle, in the grounds of manchester cathedral, has been designed as a peaceful area for people to sit. it's engraved with the names of all those who died and contains capsules made by theirfamilies which have personal items and messages inside. the first day back at work after the christmas period can be a bit of a slog but not for the staff at london zoo. take a look at this. keepers were out in force yesterday, clutching clipboards and cameras, as they completed a labour of love also known as the annual stock take. they worked together to tally up more than 400 species that call the zoo home. it'll take them about a week to complete the count. what they do if find another one? git least the lions are there, think it is, none of them are missing! can you imagine? it takes them a week and then they go back and do all of the data, the camels interested! that is a properjob. you the data, the camels interested! that is a properjob.— the data, the camels interested! that is a properjob. that is a proper 'ob. you spelt my name wrong! _ that is a properjob. you spelt my name wrong! the _ that is a properjob. you spelt my name wrong! the monkeys -

i'm guessing this is a practical issue at the moment with this change in testing because we are reporting very high numbers of positive tests at the moment. getting above 200,000 yesterday. and in this situation where we are reporting these higher number of tests, i assume this has been put in place to allow these to been put in place to allow these to be processed more rapidly so that they are focusing the positive pcr tests only on those with severe symptoms, then getting the demand where it is needed from a testing perspective. but it is completely new to me, i wasn't aware of this until you literally said it to me. i'm so sorry to spring it on you but it is developing for us this morning! i'm curious to know what the applications might be now. if fewer people will be taking pcr tests and they'd stick to a lateral flow test, does that mean that we lose some of the detail in the data? obviously, the issue would lateral flow testing is they give us a positive, they are very accurate, if you give a positive —— get a positive or a lateral flow test, it's very likely you are positive. there is more of an uncertainty about the negative results. with the pcr tests what happens is a number of those, when you get those, can get sent away for sequencing so you get sent away for sequencing so you get more information regarding the virus itself, so that sort of information may potentially be lost. but only a subset of those pcr tests are set way for sequencing anyway. so hopefully we will not be losing the levels of information we already have in this country which enables us to identify variants and so forth that we have been doing through the pandemic. that we have been doing through the andemic. , ., ., ., ., pandemic. does that mean that we are now rel inc pandemic. does that mean that we are now relying on — pandemic. does that mean that we are now relying on people _ pandemic. does that mean that we are now relying on people even _ pandemic. does that mean that we are now relying on people even more -

an accurate picture. i'm going to correct something that i - an accurate picture. i'm going to correct something that i said - an accurate picture. i'm going to correct something that i said in l an accurate picture. i'm going to i correct something that i said in my intro. it's likely that the government will remove the requirement for a negative tests two days before returning to the uk, that's a fact. currently you have to have a test two days before coming into the uk if you are travelling. what difference will that make? iligiith what difference will that make? with the travel what difference will that make? tn the travel situation, that's slightly different. with trouble, it's really important to have these tests in place when you are in a situation where you have relatively low prevalence of the virus within your own country but there is a risk of introduction from elsewhere. 50 we have seen this being very important when, say, for instance, the delta started to emerge and omicron started to emerge. we want to keep cases out for as long as possible so that we can get things in place. when we are in the situation we are in now, where we have very high numbers of cases within the uk, then actually, the testing upon entry becomes less important because it's already circulating. so it's not like all of a sudden more cases are going to come in and we will get a massive spike of infections because we have that already. 50 that's why travel rules tend to change and we did see this with the red list countries shortly after omicron was first detected in south africa, that were then removed again from the red list. that's probably why the change is coming in, to support the travel industry, and reduce a lot of the testing requirements. find industry, and reduce a lot of the testing requirements.— industry, and reduce a lot of the testing requirements. and your own university have _ testing requirements. and your own university have been _ testing requirements. and your own university have been running - testing requirements. and your own university have been running the - university have been running the numbers and looking at numbers in relations to restrictions in case numbers, what have you found? {line relations to restrictions in case numbers, what have you found? one of the challenges. — numbers, what have you found? one of the challenges, and _ numbers, what have you found? one of the challenges, and this _ numbers, what have you found? one of the challenges, and this is _ numbers, what have you found? one of the challenges, and this is reported - the challenges, and this is reported ljy the challenges, and this is reported by a lot of the modelling groups who have looked at this, when it comes to putting in restrictions, it's always the case that the sooner you put in restrictions the better, as it were, from the point of view of controlling the my virus. that has to be weighed up against the impact of controls, which is the reason why the government have been holding off a little bit from a putting things in place. the interesting thing at the moment analysing the data is it looks like we may be in a situation, and i say may, that we get cases very high that there is early evidence that things might be turning around in london. so the problem is that if you are thinking about introducing controls, once you belong to the peak of the infection, it has much less effect. —— once you are beyond the peak. our modelling work done before christmas did suggest that early interventions would have had some impact in reducing the number of cases and reducing the number of cases and reducing the number of cases and reducing the pressure on hospitals but at this point, talking in the early new year when we start to see things turn around, the impact of any interventions being introduced new any interventions being introduced now would be that much less effective. 50 now would be that much less effective-— now would be that much less effective. . , effective. so what you're saying is essentially. _ effective. so what you're saying is essentially, it's _ effective. so what you're saying is essentially, it's too _ effective. so what you're saying is essentially, it's too late? -

the most amazing job. they have over the last couple of years but right now, they are under extreme pressure with the omicron variant and number of positive cases and increasing hospitalisations when they always have extreme pressure at this point in time. we knew that going into this period which is why we put an extra £5.4 billion of investment to get extra staff and capacity and technology to put virtual wards in place and extra beds and capacity with the nightingales. all of which we anticipated that this would be difficult. we have had to years of pandemic and a build—up of people who have not come forward who need elective surgery and there is a backlog, then you have the unknown of covid. we have omicron. flu was a big unknown, how much we would have this year. knew this would be one of the most pressurised winters. they are doing an amazing job. part of the procedures we have with the nhs contingency plans is to declare this critical state and then they work with nhs regional colleagues and local resilience forum is to make sure that mutual aid is provided or whatever support is required. it is part of the escalation process and these are tried and tested plans. we have these plans in place every winter. ~ . . . winter. we have heard about protecting — winter. we have heard about protecting the _ winter. we have heard about protecting the nhs - winter. we have heard

military. the prime minister mentioned yesterday we would look to see if there were specific trusts that needed military support. these are the plans we have in place. that is one of the first steps in the plans decided locally by chief executives. we have plans in place and there are many steps. over christmas we have had meetings 2-3 over christmas we have had meetings 2—3 times a day looking at lots of data and monitoring the data carefully. we will continue to do that until we get past wave of omicron and as sir chris witty said yesterday, we do not know when that will be. and in context

in. if somebody needs hospital care, they should get hospital care. if you are talking about people in hospital and leaving hospital, that is another thing we put focus on, making sure once people are medically fit make a move to the next stage, going home with support, or go into the social care system. we put a lot of focus making sure that part of the process works well. people who go to hospital, if they need to be seen in hospital or need to be admitted, then they should not be turned away. we put £5.1i billion additional investment into hospitals, emergencies, discharge systems and staffing to make sure we have enough resilience to be able to deal with people who need the support of the nhs. that absolutely should not be happening. what we have which may be some people are confusing, we have set up virtual wards, so some people who have omicron but do not have severe needs, what we have done is we have the ability to go home with some equipment and for that to be monitored remotely by hospital staff and for it to be dealt with through medication and antivirals. there are people who are under that system. around 100,000 workers will be given daily test from the 10th of january. how will they be distributed? thea;a how will they be distributed? they will be sent _ how will they be distributed? they will be sent directly _ how will they be distributed? they

critical workers like police, border force, fire, people in laboratories, testing, they are critical workers. they have a daily test to make sure we pick up any asymptomatic person who might have omicron and isolate them to make sure we keep the rest of the critical workers as safe as possible. that is a specific channel for critical workers.— for critical workers. gillian keegan. _ for critical workers. gillian keegan, thanks. - talking about millions and millions. there is one number more important to people this morning and number 12 and whether this is twelfth night. john maguire has been on the road, looking at christmas trees and people reciting them. i have changed my mind. maybe it is tomorrow. you could read it either way. today is 12 days since christmas. tonight is 12 days since christmas. tonight is 12 days since christmas. tonight is 12 nights but tomorrow is epiphany in the christian calendar which means people celebrate epiphany. that is the contrast. a lot of you not happyjohn maguire is taking down christmas trees this morning. it is time. we have lost hours. time for them to be recycled. let it go. keep them up, keep the light shining. we could do with optimistic light shining in the cricket. good morning. ithink cricket. good morning. i think i cricket. good morning. ithink i have cricket. good morning. i think i have a little bit. england have not had much to shout about through the katmai caches with hopes evaporating in 12 days of cricket. —— in the katmai —— in the ashes. i think they will feel two late wickets has edged things in their favour. i love your things in theirfavour. i love your optimism. good morning. stuart broad back in the side took the first wicket, in between rain delays dismissing david warner, caught by zak crawley. james anderson then had marcus harris who top scored with 38, caught byjoe root. and it will be australia arguably who will feel frustrated, having been on top, with the departure of key batsmen marnus labushagne, who fell off the bowling off mark wood. but after that the rain returned, and that was the end of the day. australia closing on 126—3. there's been a twist in the tale regarding novak djokovic�*s participation at the australian open. he was given a medical exemption, allowing him to enter the state of victoria and play in the tournament, which starts on the 17th. australia's home affairs minister karen andrews has issued a statement in the last half—hour that questions whether he'll be allowed into the country. it said irrespective of what victoria and tennis australia had decided, the government would enforce border controls. and if anyone arriving is not fully vaccinated, they must provide acceptable proof that they cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons and — crucially — "no individual competing at the australian open will be afforded any special treatment". an interesting development in the last half hour. don't upset the boss. chelsea forward romelu lukaku has apologised to his teammates, his manager, and the fans after comments he made in an interview. chelsea's record signing said he wasn't happy with his role under manager thomas tuchel and suggested he'd be keen on a return to his former club inter milan at some point in the future. he was dropped for the match against liverpool at the weekend, but is back in the squad for their efl cup semifinal tonight having straightened things out with the boss. he feels the responsibility to clean the mess up. maybe we will have a bit of smell, still, from it, of course. he can handle it, he has also no other choice. he cannot expect now everybody to be super happy the very next day. but he is still our player and we are happy that he is our player and we will protect him. looks like things have calmed down a little bit. footballer christian eriksen has spoken of how he died for five minutes after collapsing on the pitch at last year's euros, but wants to play at this year's world cup. he suffered a cardiac arrest in front of his home fans playing for denmark in copenhagen back injune. he's since been released by inter milan but is free to join a new club, with the aim of reprsenting his country once again. it would be fantastic to see him back potentially playing for his country but certainly football again. an interesting development as regards novak djokovic. his participation in the australian open has split opinion. perhaps the feeling he has been given preferential treatment. melbourne has had it so tough. they have been placed in 12 lockdowns. it will be interesting. novak djokovic, he has always wanted the appreciation afforded perhaps more to roger federer and rafa nadal. he does not always get it. interesting to see whether the frosty welcome he may be given in australia might encourage him to reveal more details about his vaccination status, which he has been keen to keep private. we spoke to a journalist in melbourne and she was furious and said he would have a terrible reception. he will face a lot of questions. thanks. today marks exactly 100 years since the death of the great explorer sir ernest shackleton, who led three expeditions to the antarctic in the early part of the last century. the most famous of those was in 1915, when his ship — endurance — became trapped in ice, prompting an epic tale of daring and survival. let's take a moment to look back at his life. music the historian dan snow is undertaking his own adventure in honour of sir ernest shackleton — he's leading an expedition to the antarctic to find the wreck of the endurance. danjoins us now from dundee, where he's on board another historic ship. you are on board a boat with extra significance. i you are on board a boat with extra significance-—

you want a ship that survives the ice, get one built in dundee. the only place in the world you can walk in the footsteps of shackleton. it took him on his first expedition when he almost died of exposure and scurvy. he went ten years later for a third expedition, and that is the famous one where he had to go across theice famous one where he had to go across the ice flows and south georgia. extraordinary survival. and then the expedition mounted by the falklands heritage trust i will cover, involving how significant endurance. might the wreckage of endurance be? what do we already know about it? 3000 metres down, and endurance was crushed by the ice. not as well—built as discovery. shackleton had to jump onto the well—built as discovery. shackleton had tojump onto the ice. and when theice had tojump onto the ice. and when the ice melted he escaped in a small boat. it is 3000 metres down on the bottom. we hope it is in good condition. obviously extremely cold there. the life forms down there has got used to eating things like whale bones because there is not much wood in the antarctic and they are not used to eating it. we are not allowed to take anything away, quite rightly. the team will identify the wreck and learn more about it, the most historic shipwreck in the world undiscovered as yet. haifa most historic shipwreck in the world undiscovered as yet.—

coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. ministers are finalising changes to covid testing guidance in england. people without symptoms who record a positive lateral flow don't need to follow it up with a pcr test. and changes to make foreign travel easier too. it's expected the need to test before arriving back in the uk will be scrapped. the airlines industry warns of financial disaster if restrictions remain. the nhs under strain from coronavirus. more trusts in england declare critical incidents and 17 hospitals in greater manchester put some non urgent surgery on hold. hospitals are under pressure not just because of the number of patients coming in with covid, but also because unfortunately, many of our staff are now isolating because they themselves have covid as well. a breakthrough for england in the fourth ashes test. england take three wickets as australia close on 126. australia close on 126. a cold and frosty starts today but a ridge of high pressure is building across us, many of our wintry showers will fade and the winds will ease and a lot of us will see some sunshine. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 5th of january. our top story. in the last hour we've heard that testing procedures for people in england with covid are likely to change. ministers are said to be finalising plans to remove the requirement for a follow—up pcr test to confirm a positive result on a lateral flow device in cases of people without symptoms. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. hello, what can you tell us? there is a process _ hello, what can you tell us? there is a process going _ hello, what can you tell us? there is a process going on _ hello, what can you tell us? there is a process going on at _ hello, what can you tell us? there is a process going on at the - hello, what can you tell us? there i is a process going on at the moment, there is a whole series of meetings going with different combinations administer this morning looking at different bits of the covid response and one of the things is a meeting about changing testing advice. so the change hasn't happened yet, but we know that ministers are finalising a change that will be announced later today. and the change is this. at the moment, if you would do a lateral flow test, a little stick, and you test positive, you are then advised to get a confirmatory pcr test which put you into the test and trace system and then your seven in ten days isolation only starts when you get your pcr test back. so this change means that basically, your lateral flow test is the one that starts your isolation period, and you take that as a confirmation that you have got covid rather than getting another test to back that up. that is the change. it's easier to ignore whether it is people with symptoms or not. it'sjust whether it is people with symptoms or not. it's just that if you would do a lateral flow test and you are positive, you have to isolate, you don't have to get a pcr test. the reason the government would do this is it would reduce the number of people needing to get pcr tests, and we know there is a big crunch on the system of pcr tests at the moment. it also will mean that many thousands of people will spend a short time in isolation because their isolation period will officially start earlier. that means there will be less disruption to the economy. the reason the government is confident it can do this is because the lateral flow tests have been proved to be effective and there are a lot of them as the care minister explained to us. yesterday it was a record, _ minister explained to us. yesterday it was a record, we _ minister explained to us.

uk, and you have to test —2 days before you get on the plane or the train. ministers are looking at scrapping that because that was only reintroduced when omicron first emerged and now it is basically

significant strain from rising covid infections. with uk daily cases at a record 219,000 yesterday, the prime minister has acknowledged that parts of the health service could be temporarily overwhelmed in the coming weeks. seven hospital trusts in england have reported serious problems so far, while in greater manchester, 17 hospitals are pausing some non—urgent surgery. and morriston hospital in swansea has limited services due to ongoing staff shortages. this report now from jon donnison. derriford hospital in plymouth is one of a growing number to declare a critical incident because of omicron pressures on staffing levels, as well as the growing burden of those needing care. hospitals in blackpool, norfolk, wiltshire, morecambe bay and lincoln have also raised the alarm. in plymouth, they are warning the situation is increasingly complex. we have got patients who are coming in who are absolutely covid positive and they need to be in a designated area of the hospital. and those numbers are increasing. and then we've got patients who are in hospital, who tested negative on admission but then don't have symptoms, and then develop symptoms and then are testing positive. and in manchester last night, 17 hospitals put a pause on nonurgent surgery citing the rising impact of covid—19 and staff absence levels of around 15%. those hospitals are under pressure notjust because of the number of patients coming in with covid, but also because unfortunately, many of our staff are now isolating because they themselves have covid as well. and it's those two pressures, the patients coming in and the reduction in our staffing, staff being available, that is having the impact at present. although pressure on intensive care might be less severe than in previous waves, the omicron variant is so transmissible, it's seen the numbers with covid in hospital in england alone double in under a fortnight. the prime minister isn't thinking of more restrictions at the moment, but he admits the next few weeks will be hard. there will be a difficult period for our wonderful nhs for the next few weeks because of omicron. i just think that we have to get through it as best as we possibly can. we will give the nhs all the support that we can. but in the meantime, the thing we've got to do as responsible members of the public is follow the guidance, try to stop transmission as much as we can and get boosted. there is some evidence that cases in young adults might be flattening off, but the worry now is that older adults are becoming infected, adding even more to the strain in the nhs. that's why government advisers are warning that hospital admissions could be going up for quite some time. jon donnison, bbc news. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon will give an update today on any possible changes to the self—isolation period for covid. the scottish government has been urged to cut it from ten days to seven, with negative tests, as has been done in other parts of the uk. scotland is currently reporting an average reporting an average of 16,000 daily cases. ajudge in new york is considering whether to dismiss a civil case accusing prince andrew of sexual assault. the prince has consistently denied the allegations made by virginia giuffre, but his lawyers are arguing to have the case thrown out because of a deal she made when accepting damages from jeffrey epstein in 2009. let's hear from royal correspondent nicholas witchell. we don't have a verdict yet, but where does all of this lee prince andrew? i think, where does all of this lee prince andrew? ithink, sadly, it leaves andrew? ithink, sadly, it leaves andrew in a difficult situation, to put it mildly. —— i think, sally, elise intro it leaves him in a difficult situation. even if it is dimmest, it means he would not have cleared himself in open court in a full hearing, it would leave him in a position where many people would feel that he had emerged on the basis of essentially a technicality. if it does go forward to a full trial, and we would hope to hear from thejudge within trial, and we would hope to hear from the judge within a matter of days about his finding on the arguments yesterday, if it does go forward to a full trial, it will mean that andrew will then have to produce documents, it is called discovery phase, or he would as it goes forward have an option of seeking an out—of—court settlement. that will involve no admission of liability but it would involve paying a sum to virginia giuffre. and i think uppermost in the minds of royal officials will be that we are now in the clean �*s platinum jubilee year and is it really desirable to have a court case such as this hanging over thejubilee when the nation coming together to the celebrate the 70 years of the clean's rain? the celebrate the 70 years of the deans rain?— the celebrate the 70 years of the clean's rain? ., ~ , ., , ., ,~' clean's rain? thank

northern half of scotland. still getting down to sea level. as high pressure builds in, things will settle down and most of us will have lengthy sunny spell today. the frost extends to many parts today, we will have a fair bit of sunshine. there wintry showers will fade for most but some will come inland, and if you are coming in from the west as well. temperatures from four in the 028 in the south but if you have a lying snow, the temperature could get no higher than freezing. this evening and overnight under clear skies, temperatures will fall away quite quickly. there will be a few showers towards the coast, then the rain arrives holding another with a friend. —— weatherfront. we arrives holding another with a friend. —— weather front. we could get down to —10 in sheltered

which claimed the lives of 255 british and 6a9 argentinian troops. our defence correspondentjonathan beale has been looking back at the events of 1982 and speaking with some of the veterans who fought in it. it was a war on the other side of the world. on april the 2nd,1982, argentine forces invaded the falkland islands and claimed it as their own. the task force, with all its power, is ready. britain has gathered its might, it must set its course. accompanied by the late brian hanrahan for the bbc, a task force of more than 100 ships had set sail within days to make the 8000 milejourney. their task, to liberate the islands. i'm not allowed to say how many planes joined the raid i'm not allowed to say how many planesjoined the raid but i counted them all out as i counted them all back. their pilots were unhurt, cheerful and jubilant giving thumbs up cheerful and jubilant giving thumbs up signs. i thought we had better get ready and take it seriously, but i'm not quite sure that i absolutely believed we would do it. but as they sailed south, resolve hardened. first with the controversial sinking of the argentine cruiser the general belgrano with the loss of 323 lives. we didn't cheer when she was sunk, because we were in a ship, as well. we knew there were argentine submarines. we could have ended up in the same boat, or the same water. so we suddenly realised that it was going to be a proper hot war. notjust a hot war, it would be the largest air and sea battle involving british forces since the second world war. a hundred aircraft and more than 20 ships would either be destroyed or damaged. julian thompson was the man charged with the initial british landings at san carlos on the 21st of may. luckily it was thick fog. so the argentine air force never found us. we knew they were trying to find us. we could hear them zooming around and trying to find us. they might have created a bit of mayhem had they have done so. that was the bit i was really worried about. once we had ourfeet on the ground, i knew we were on our way to winning. so great was the scale of victory that, four days after the surrender, nobody has had time to tidy up. goose green was the first time british paratroopers came face—to—face with the enemy. the british lost 18 men, among them friends of paul bishop, who was just 21. after we took casualties and friends had been killed, my feelings was hate towards them. we wanted to take out as many as we could. we wanted to remove them from the islands. later, paul witnessed this, the argentine attacks at bluff cove, where the british lost more than 50 men. he tried to help the dozens injured ashore, but the argentines weren't the only enemy to contend with. winter was coming. a lot of the guys, we just cuddled up together to keep warm at night, and when you wake up, you would do running on the spot or sit ups or press ups to try and get warm and fall back asleep for ten minutes again, wake up freezing cold. so that is how difficult it was. we are now between the two gun lines and there is a right old artillery duel going on between them. the battle on the ground tookjust over a month. short, but victory would be bittersweet for robert lawrence, a young lieutenant in the scots guards who fought in one of the last battles at tumbledown. it became gutter fighting. ammunition, you know, re—supplies aren't going to happen in the middle of a battle, so once you are using up your ammunition, you start using whatever you can lay your hands on, including enemy weapons, and your bayonet. towards the end of the battle, robert was shot in the head by a sniper. the bullet had hit me in the back of the head and came out up here, just in my hairline above my right eye, removing four by three inches of skull and damaging the brain quite severely. on the 1ath ofjune, the argentines surrendered. 6a9 of them lost their lives. the british had lost 255 men. so what will the a0th anniversary mean for these three veterans? i had great pride in what i've done. and i've always acknowledged that the injury i have is easier to live with emotionally because i did it in a sort of glorious event than i fell out of a hotel window or, you know, fell off a moped. i personally don't expect anything from the country, from the government. we just volunteered to do it and we did it. it would be nice to be remembered. i visit the san carlos cemetery and usually shed a tear there. | and look out over that - peaceful water and remember what it was like with guns firing and ships being hit _ and aeroplanes bombing. the contrast is really quite remarkable. i yeah. you still shed a tear about it? yeah, one does, yeah. a0 years on from a war on the other side of the world, but they are still remembered. jonathan beale, bbc news. nowadays robert fox is the defence editor of the evening standard, but a0 years ago he was covering the conflict for bbc radio. he joins us now along with phyl rendell, who is on the falkland islands. she's chair of the a0th anniversary committee. we will speak to both of them, but can i speak to you, phyl, live in the falkland islands, nice to chat to you. how are people there,

people this will be a very difficult time. indeed, it is a difficult time as well. people will never forget, falkland islanders will never forget what happened and how there was a sacrifice made for their freedom to continue to live where they choose to live. so it will be touched with much sadness, the key events, but also a celebration that we have been able to build a solid future here in the falkland islands with a strong economy, and that we are very proud of being a british overseas territory and we very much a desire to retain that status. so the islanders will come together and reflect and remember. there will be some tears, there will be some joy as well. particularly for the younger people. they are well educated in what happened a0 years ago, they're not going to forget either, they are very strong in their belief in staying as a british overseas territory. and building on the future so we continue to enjoy our freedom and we all appreciate the sacrifice that was

falkland islands, thank you for joining us from 8000 miles away. and robert fox in london, thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from the news teams in london and the south east. the chair of the kent association of headteachers has warned schools face a "perfect storm" this term amid fears over teacher absences and shortages of lateral flow tests. mike walters, who represents 600 schools, is concerned about a potential shortfall of supply teachers as more staff have to self—isolate. a meeting is due today between kent headteachers, the department for education and council officials to discuss the challenges. nearly a quarter of a million stop and searches were carried out by the metropolitan police in the last 12 months, but black people were nearly four times as likely to be stopped as white people. the tactic is one of the measures used by police to tackle knife crime. in a roundtable discussion, young londoners have been sharing their experiences with local officers. you are either in a state of confusion or a state of fear. but officers don't understand that and their perception of you already is you are moving shifty. we absolutely know there is disproportionality in the number of young black men who are stopped and searched. and these opportunities just to come and have these sorts of chats, for us as local officers, are absolutely vital. a man has been charged with assualt after a woman was sprayed with a noxious substance in portslade on new year's day. the woman was taken to hospital but discharged later the same day and is understood not to have suffered any lasting ill—effects. 33—year—old shaine tester from bognor appeared in court yesterday and has been remanded in custody. the substance is still being identified but is not thought to be acid. work to restore an historic station in sussex is due to begin in the spring after a majorfundraising appeal. the bluebell railway has raised more than £500,000 to repair leaking roofs and replace rotting beams at horsted keynes station. and from lions and tigers to colonies of ants, the annual stocktake has begun at london zoo. the audit of more than a00 species takes about a week to complete and helps to manage conservation efforts and breeding programmes. the reality is we count the animals every single day as part of ourjob, but we also do a slightly more official one, which is part of our zoo licensing. but it gives us the chance to reflect on the relevance of counting animals in times where wild populations are dwindling so much. now here's the weather with gillian brown. another cold and crisp day across london and the south east. there will be plenty of sunshine around, but it is going to be a very cold start. i think we will see a bit of cloud rolling into the afternoon. generally, lots of brightness and a very cold day ahead. temperatures not getting much above 6 celsius. so still very much in single figures. tonight, it will stay dry and clear. temperatures will get the chance to fall away to below freezing. i think it is likely we could see temperatures around —6 in some spots. very frosty, icy start to the day tomorrow. over the next couple of days, we will hang on to the colder temperatures, but we will start to see rain pushing in as we head towards the end of the week. that's all from me, see you soon. that's it from me for now — i'll be back in a half an hour's time. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. morning live is on bbc one after breakfast. let's

several trusts have declared critical incidents — the highest state of alert — due to the impact of covid and staffing shortages. here are some of those areas where nhs services have said they are under increased pressure. in greater manchester, non—urgent surgeries and other appointments have been temporarily cancelled across 17 hospitals — but that won't apply to urgent cancer treatment, cardiac surgery or transplants. dr david levy is the regional medical director of nhs north west. in greater manchester, we can see the number patiently met with covid in the hospital is similar to the number we saw in the hospital is similar to the numberwe saw in in the hospital is similar to the number we saw injanuary of 2021 when we had a big surge. other parts of the region, we can see numbers are rising rapidly. those hospitals are rising rapidly. those hospitals are under pressure notjust because of patients coming in with covid but also because unfortunately many staff are now isolating because they themselves have covid. meanwhile, derriford hospital in plymouth has hadproblems off—loading ambulances, and has recorded nearly 500 staff absences. here's annjames, chief executive of university hospitals plymouth. covid is quite complicated so we have patients coming in who are absolutely covid positive and need to be in a designated area. those numbers are increasing. we have patients in hospital who have tested negative on admission but do not have symptoms and then develop symptoms and are then tested positive. so, what kind of impact is this having on the national picture? professor rupert pearse is a consultant who speaks on behalf of the intensive care society. we are seeing a lot of pressure across the board in the nhs, not just covid. we are looking after a range of people, cancer care, waiting for major surgery, patients with strokes. we are trying to juggle with strokes. we are trying to juggle a lot of different things at the same time, as well as a big wave of covid admissions. while we hope that the current wave may be nearing its peak, we do not yet know. colin cox is the director of public health for cumbria. he's in charge of one of the nhs trusts — morecambe bay — that has declared a critical incident. just explain what is the reality of what you are seeing at the moment? if i could correct you, i am not in charge of morecambe bay trust, morecambe bay trust provides services in the south of cumbria for which i am director of public health. we are seeing substantial challenges in the nhs and social care services, as we see across the rest of the country. morecambe bay trust declared level four internal incident on monday. the challenges they face are significant. in cumbria, the case rates are three times higher than the highest peak injanuary times higher than the highest peak in january last times higher than the highest peak injanuary last year. the good news is the hospitalisation is less than that. those hospitalisations combined with staff absence, and the same pressure on social care, it is difficult to discharge people. those things come together to create a massive challenge for nhs services. staff absence, is that the biggest challenge, not having enough people at work to deal with patients? it is one of them- _ at work to deal with patients? it 3 one of them. covid is part of that but not the only thing. we are into general winter staff absence. it is a combination of absence, rising demand, and difficulty in discharging people from hospital. all of those things come together to create the massive problems. we are heafina create the massive problems. we are hearing from — create the massive problems. we are hearing from westminster _ create the massive problems. we are hearing from westminster this i hearing from westminster this morning the government is seriously considering changing the testing rules that might mean people do not have to do pcr tests if they are asymptomatic and have done a natural flow and it might get them back to work sooner. flow and it might get them back to work sooner-— flow and it might get them back to work sooner. how much

make i work sooner. how much difference could it make? it could make a i could it make? it could make a difference, but only by a couple of days. that could make a difference. it is important to say it is not about relaxing rules but recognising that when we have transmission rates as high as they are, a positive lateral flow test is almost certainly a genuine positive and does not necessarily need to be confirmed by a pcr test. it is not about reducing safeguards, it means you can perhaps start the isolation from a couple of days before you would otherwise and therefore finish earlier. it could make a difference to staffing availability. it earlier. it could make a difference to staffing availability.— to staffing availability. it sounds like ou to staffing availability. it sounds like

somej to staffing availability. it sounds i like you are worried about some of the language about this, that we should be talking about relaxing the rules and testing regime? absolutely. it is critical. as we see the rates hitting levels we have never seen before in the country, we should not be talking about relaxing things. we should take this incredibly seriously and apply sensible rules we are seeing coming through on things like testing, but not relaxing things at this point. when people in cumbria here about a critical incident declared in their local nhs, and places elsewhere, what does it mean it's happening, what does it mean it's happening, what does it allow hospitals to do and not do? it what does it allow hospitals to do and not do?— what does it allow hospitals to do and not do? . , ., ., , and not do? it means, unfortunately, and not do? it means, unfortunately, a lot of people _ and not do? it means, unfortunately, a lot of people will _ and not do? it means, unfortunately, a lot of people will start _ and not do? it means, unfortunately, a lot of people will start to _ and not do? it means, unfortunately, a lot of people will start to see i a lot of people will start to see routine appointments cancelled or delayed. perhaps some nonemergency surgery cancelled and delayed. this sort of thing will have an impact on those people because while that sort of thing enables the nhs to redeploy staff to dealing with serious and urgent issues, it means if you have been waiting for an operation, you will be delayed and that does not feel like a minor issue for thosepeople. we will see additional challenges for people facing further delays, which adds to the ongoing issue around backlog of cases. it adds to the problem in the long—term but it is necessary in the short—term to ensure the nhs is there for you if you need it, in an urgent way. there for you if you need it, in an urgent way-— there for you if you need it, in an uraentwa. ., ., ,

playing for pride. playing for the shirt. it has been a rain affected opening day and that could help england because there is more rain for cars. they are trying to avoid a whitewash so the rain could make a result difficult. england let's not forget, three down, their ashes hopes over, playing to restore some pride in the remaing two matches. and on the opening day of the fourth test, a reason to be optimistic — two late wickets, one from james anderson, the other mark wood, giving england something to build upon tomorrow, australia 126—3. here'sjoe wilson. so what's left to play for in the ashes? well, every ball counts, doesn't it? that was david warner's idea. england had james anderson and stuart broad bowling. no earlyjoy for either. marcus harris with that shot. how soon do you start worrying, if you're england's captain. well, perhaps he never stops. broad is an expert at dismissing david warner. remember there. good catch. gone for 30. and that is why i should play every match, broad might just have been thinking. watch now, some courageous commitment. frantic pace. gripping drama. here we go, stumps clear. covers on. the ground staff were busy. rain lingered over sydney. eventually, the cricket resumed. marnus labuschagne scoring runs, frustrating england. normal service. harris on 38, anderson at 39. a timely wicket for england. a reminder they can compete. here comes mark wood. there goes labuschagne. edged, caught. 126—3 at the close of play and a chance to show england enjoying the ashes? well, for once, why not? and there's been a twist in the tale regarding novak djokovic�*s participation at the australian open. he was given a medical exemption, allowing him to enter the state of victoria and play in the tournament, despite refusing to reveal his vaccination status. but australia's home affairs minister karen andrews has issued a statement that questions whether he'll be allowed into the country. it says irrespective of what victoria and tennis australia had decided, the government would enforce border controls and if anyone arriving is not fully vaccinated, they must provide acceptable proof that they cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons and — crucially it states "no individual competing at the australian open will be afforded any special treatment." wow. a very strong statement. the story is emerging day by day. the federal government in australia putting themselves in opposition, really, to those statements, and certainly the organisers of the tournament who have said he can play now he has been granted an exemption and come to defend his title. it seemingly now with the intervention of the australian government, where does it leave him. it is almost like sport and politics are intertwined. they have collided. if he turns up, what reception he might get. if you want to come here for in wimbledon, he might want to pay attention to this. the requirements for covid testing around international travel could be about to change. nina can tell us more. a lot of people trying to beat the january blues by booking a holiday but may be january blues by booking a holiday but may he being reticent because of testing. where are we up to now? the arrival of omicron in the autumn brought with it some extra requirements for foreign travel. testing when heading back to the uk has been a key part of this. lateral flow tests within two days of getting home — they were moved to pcr tests, which are double the price. and the government reintroduced the extra test which has to be taken up to two days before departing to return to the uk. so as things stand it's two tests, costing each adult traveller around £65. but now things look set to change, as the government looks set to drop the first test before beginning yourjourney home — although the second is expected to remain within two days of getting home. will it make a difference to the industry? every time restrictions are lifted or lightened there's an increase in bookings. we spoke with lorraine who took the plunge. we are a couple that go on holiday regularly, but, over the last year and a half, two years, because of all the hassle that the pcr testing that we would need to go, we chose not to. having said that, back end of last year, restrictions did ease and with the knowledge that we would only need a lateral flow test on our return, we chose to book a fortnight in cape verde forjanuary. the travel industry has argued that since omicron is already widely established, is there any point in insisting on two tests? they argue it's putting people off, and if it continues it will spell disaster for the industry. many people have seen testing for travel as really costly and quite inconvenient. and it has put a lot of people off travelling. we have seen, before the omicron variant emerged, that income in the travel industry was down by around 80%, and it will only have got worse while these temporary omicron restrictions have been in place. the government said they made £8 million available in support of the industry and that safety has to be the priority, which is why testing rules keep changing. there could be a boost later today which would make your trip cheaper and more relaxing if you do not test twice but it has not been confirmed. make sure you keep checking the rules notjust about coming home, but to your destination, because they could be changing. i sound like a broken record but that is why comprehensive insurance is advisable and the best way of getting at is there a package deal. so much is changing. we can't keep up with it. even our guests cannot keep up with it. some things don't change. here's carol. good morning, this morning some have seen wintry showers as shown here in the picture from a weather watcher of warwickshire. it is a cold start. some seeing wintry showers through the day. the strong wind from this morning also easing. most of us enjoying sunny spells. it will feel cold. in scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, north west midlands and wales, watch out for ice on untreated surfaces. through the day the wind will ease. many showers fade but some will come in from the north sea and some in the west. all of those wintry but mostly on the hills. at times you might see a bit of that getting to lower levels. these are the temperatures, 4-8. if levels. these are the temperatures, 4—8. if you have snow, temperatures might not break freezing. overnight, coastal wintry showers. clear skies. temperatures falling away rapidly. the wind will strengthen towards the west. cloud bills and rain will arrive. in the west it will not be as cold, in northern ireland and the outer hebrides as for the rest. in the sheltered glens temperatures could get down to —10 tonight. and in sheltered parts of northern england, —7. the weatherfront in sheltered parts of northern england, —7. the weather front is a warm front bringing rain. bumping into cold airand warm front bringing rain. bumping into cold air and then another weather front coming in which is cold. behind this warm front, we have an injection of milder air, but behind a cold front a return to colder conditions. in the east tomorrow, starting cold and frosty. the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. the rain comes in and turns to snow. more likely to be held snow in england and wales. the wind is a feature but the strongest winds in the north and west with gales and even severe gales. as the cold front comes in, things turn colder out towards the west. it will be a slow process and the snow will not last long. rain in its wake. into friday, back into the colder air, showers are likely to be wintry, piling in from the west. again, a lot of dry weather, sunshine. they are showers so not everyone will catch one. temperatures between 3—8. as for the weekend, a clutch of weather front spring rain and sam hill snow in the north. and it is going to be windy. saturday morning, we start with rain in the west that will push eastwards. the wind strengthening with snow in the hills. saturday, a dry start but rain coming in from the west later. a
