it may be a wet and windy start to the weekend for many, but as we go into the afternoon across many western areas we should see a bit more sunshine at times. it's saturday, the 8th of january. our top story: up to 500,000 flat owners across the uk will no longer be liable for the cost of replacing dangerous cladding on their properties, under new government proposals. the plans, set to be announced by the housing secretary michael gove, would instead see developers forced to pay up to an additional $4 billion to help resolve the crisis, which has left many unable to sell their homes. our policy editor lewis goodall has more. it's estimated that more than half a million people are caught up in britain's fire safety crisis. and we can exclusively reveal the government's latest plans to deal with it. up up until now, the government's approach breakdown as follows. dangerous cutting removal would be paid for by the building safety front only for buildings of 18.5 metres in height. everything else would be covered either by developers paying or by a loan scheme for leaseholders. but we understand that michael gove, the levelling up secretary, will make a commitment on monday that up to £4 billion of extra funding will be available to remove dangerous cladding and buildings between 11 and 18 one half metres, and that leaseholders will not have to pay anything towards that cost, a significant shift. but gove also made clear that money will come from developers, not from the taxpayer, and if developers won't pay voluntarily, he will threaten the force of law to make sure that they comply. but this change will cover cladding only, not the host of other building safety issues found in thousands of building since gran fell,. ~ , ., �* thousands of building since gran fell,. , . ., fell,. well, they won't choose to -a . fell,. well, they won't choose to pay- they _ fell,. well, they won't choose to pay- they will — fell,. well, they won't choose to pay. they will

fell,. well, they won't choose to - pay. they will have to be dragged to the table to offer something up. and i suspect it relies on showing, weather it is by sampling the buildings and showing that these buildings and showing that these buildings were not built to spec, because fire breaks and complementation have always been required by regulations, if they are not there, but as a product of conscious choice, or it is a product of negligence, for which the developer is responsible. so michael gove needs a big stick to beat them with along those sorts of lines, but no, this is quite clearly evidence that this is your choice and your responsibility to pay. find that this is your choice and your responsibility to pay.— responsibility to pay. and if the levellin: responsibility to pay. and if the levelling up _ responsibility to pay. and if the levelling up secretary _ responsibility to pay. and if the levelling up secretary is - levelling up secretary is unsuccessful, lease documents from the treasury seen by newsnight show that if the government cannot raise the money from developers, it will have to come from existing housing budgets, hardly ideal at a time of a wider housing shortage. that was lewis goodall reporting, and we'll get more on that from him just after 8:30am this morning. the independent panel of experts that advises the government on vaccines says that a second covid booster, orfourth shot, is not needed for the time being. new data from the uk health security agency shows that three months after a boosterjab, protection against severe illness

are set to be included in the official investigation into events held at number10. it comes after borisjohnson's former chief adviser dominic cummings claimed a senior official invited people to socially distanced drinks in the garden while restrictions were in place in may 2020. security forces in kazakhstan say they have killed dozens of protesters taking part in huge riots in its main city, almaty. the unrest began on sunday, when the cost of fuel was doubled. kazakhstan's neighbour russia has sent in paratroopers to support the government. 0ur correspondent caroline davies is in moscow. caroline, what can you tell us? i think it is worth bearing mind, as you say, these protests have been going on for less than a week, they started off about fuel prices and then have spread to become more of an issue, a political backdrop to this protest, to the violence on the streets of kazakhstan, in particular, the biggest city in kazakhstan, almaty, is that the cost of living in kazakhstan has become expensive, but that has worsened during the course of the pandemic, and many people have said that is the reason why these protests have spread so quickly, they spread a lot faster than these people had anticipated, and almost seem to take many by surprise. we have seen images of burnt out cars in the city of almaty, burnt outbuildings, shopfront smashed out. we heard from the hasluck authorities, they say that in their words, they "liquidated 26 people involved. that kazakh. thousands more have been arrested. yesterday we had from the kazakh president that he believed terrorists were behind this incident, however, we have also had some counterarguments from protesters on the streets who said the violence came from the hasluck authorities, but it did not come from the protesters themselves. it is difficult to get information about exactly what is happening in kazakhstan at the moment, because the internet has been down. yesterday the president said it would be brought back in an patchy phases, but it has been used as a way of communicating and co—ordinating, that is one of the reasons why it was essentially removed. at the moment it is very difficult to get a full picture about what is happening on the ground and we are waiting for more developments later today. tributes have been paid to the american actor, sidney poitier, who has died at the age of 94. you will call me 'sir�* or 'mr thackeray'. the young ladies will be addressed as 'miss', the boys by their surnames. poitier was the first black man to win a best actor 0scar, and helped to break down many of hollywood's racial barriers, while paving the way for a generation of film stars. a host of prominent figures, including presidentjoe biden, barack 0bama and oprah winfrey have paid tribute to him. a year ago, most school pupils were being told to study from home and the bbc started its give a laptop appeal. we asked you to donate old devices, and the response was

might�*ve come in staggering numbers. 15 minutes past six —— a few hundred. let's have a look at some of today's front pages. the daily telegraph leads with recommendations from government scientific advisers that fourth jabs are not currently needed. analysis from thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation found three months after receiving a third jab, protection against hospitalisation among the over—65s remained at about 90%. so no force jabs for now. —— so no fourth jabs for now. the i is reporting that record numbers of staff left the nhs in 2021, with work—life balance cited as a key issue. the paper carries a testimony from a frontline nurse, who said the second wave of the pandemic "cost me my mental health and my marriage". the guardian's front page features a tribute to the hollywood legend sir sidney poitier, who has died at the age of 94. the adjoining story centres around fresh accusations from the former government advisor dominic cummings that there was a second lockdown—breaking party in the downing street garden, five days after borisjohnson and his staff were pictured having wine and cheese. those pictures that were in the papers just before christmas so that is part of the investigation also now. and the most—watched video on the bbc news website is the incredible story of a truck dangling over a cliff in china. you can see it there. my goodness! it was stuck like that for three days after the driver tried to reverse on a narrow mountain road. the driver and passenger managed to escape, and the vehicle was eventually hauled to safety. eventually. terrifying. it gives me the heebie—jeebies. three days! the kind of thing you dread when you go up kind of thing you dread when you go up a mountain. some of the inside pages, this is great,

future was later on. this is the picture from space with a lovely swell of cloud but under it, the brain. the back edge of it is getting closer to ireland. that's where you get into sunshine and showers which will follow, bringing cold air ahead of a brief, milder but windy spell across the country. the radar across the uk shows how extensive it is and with it, because it has been cold, across the hills of scotland quite a bit of snow lying around in the breeze butjust about all scenes of wet weather, like temperature in the east, heavier developing towards the west but northern ireland brightening up through the morning, scotland by the end of the morning some sunshine and a future was under the reign lingering in shetland but elsewhere, quite a band of intense rain before it clears, pushing through the midlands through the middle part of the day and setting across east anglia and the south—east into the end of the afternoon. early gusty winds with it, 40—50 miles an hour and temperatures after lifting briefly dropping into single figures for many. in this evening and overnight, a wet day all in all for the south—east corner whereas elsewhere, clear skies, the south—east corner whereas elsewhere, clearskies, do the south—east corner whereas elsewhere, clear skies, do clearer with some showers in the west, some wintry, it does mean an ice risk into tomorrow morning and temperatures hovering above freezing for many but especially parts of scotland northern england we will see temperatures drop below so a frosty start for some, i start for others, show is on sunday will be more frequent in the morning across western scotland, northern ireland into northern england north well through the afternoon but a lot of bright and soggy weather either side of that zone, certainly brighter for many across the south compared with today of cloud and battery ramil pushing towards west cornwall, isles of scilly and the channel islands. the cold front works across all into monday, a slow process but it means a milder night to take us through into monday morning although a little bit chilly down the eastern areas with some hazy sunshine, but overall cloud around to start the new week with outbreaks of rain and drizzle across western scotland and northern ireland and temperatures on the rise and indeed as we go through the rise and indeed as we go through the week ahead with high pressure building from the south, a lot more in the way of drier weather and temperatures holding steady at around 8—10 for the vast majority. positively balmy. around

year... not a casino or convention centre in sight! thundering, powerful music plays. welcome to ces 2022 from vegas! it's been touch and go but we made it, and there's plenty of tech here. yeah, not as much as we were expecting, though, to be honest. in fact, quite a few big names pulled out quite late in the day due to you—know—what, which does mean that the world's biggest tech show feels somewhat smaller, doesn't it? there are still plenty of gadgets, though. yep, true. i'll be looking at a few for the home in a minute but in the meantime, do you fancy a brew? i think it's time for a tea break, don't you? you've been working hard already, clearly. very hard, yeah! this is the bru tea maker. now, you can put in any loose tea or tea bags and then you set it for exactly how long you want that tea to be brewing for, so it'll hopefully make you your perfect cuppa. my perfect cuppa is i'd say about 3.5 minutes. can you do that? ok, i shall try and oblige. it's got quite a handy self—cleaning function in there as well. with these machines, that's often the hassle, isn't it? 0k. set up a 3.5—minute interlude, please. yeah, actually. not a bad cup of...tea. where... ? 0h! she's gone. that should keep him busy for a bit. now, these days, we're having more food deliveries than ever, so could this be a solution? fresh portal allows you to set it to hot or cold so your delivery should be kept atjust the right temperature. the finished product will have uv—c lights to sanitise it and a camera to monitor yourfood, but the problem is you do need to cut a big hole in your house to put it in. and here's today's delivery, which is rather unusually some yogurt. one issue with deliveries as they often come with way more packaging than you need. that i'll be after later. but clear drop hopes to overcome the problem of not enough soft plastics being recycled with this, a device that compresses them. you can either put in there plastic bags like this or any soft packaging. this isjust a prototype — the finished product will be about two—thirds of this size — but this is what happens. and this is what the plastic comes out looking like once it's condensed. i've been told that this is probably the quantity that your average family would come up with over the course of two months and being like this instead of big, puffy bags does make it a lot easier to be ground down at a recycling facility. anyhow, i'll pop it there because i need to get to the kitchen. as it happens, i'm not much of a fan of plain yoghurt but there is a reason that i've got this here. first of all, let me pour some into the bowl. this is spoontek and the company claims that through a mild electric current that runs through it, your food should taste better. now, when i am using it, the food will be covering this silver dot here. and when i'm eating with it, my finger will naturally cover that silver bit at the back. so this light will come on to show that it's definitely working. to test it, i'm actually going to be blindfolded so that i can't tell the difference between this, the functioning spoon, and these two that don't. i'm going to put this on and 0mar, can you come over and just mix things up a bit so i don't know what spoon i'm using? 0k. it's here somewhere, i think. bleep. ok, this tastes like yoghurt. that tasted exactly the same as it did on the first spoon. um, strangely, that mouthful maybe sort of tasted a bit better? but i don't know. if i wasn't really thinking about it, i wouldn't notice a difference. it's not like you feel an electric current or anything. but i'm going to guess that this is the right spoon. musical flourish. it is. 0k. i was genuinely not expecting that! 0k, well, let's give it a go again. bleep. i think this is the spoon. buzzer blares. no. no! and i really thought it wasn't the first one. maybe it was luck, i guess, the first time. let's do it again. bleep. not feeling so sure this time. i'm going to go for this being the spoon. and it is! ok, that was two out of three. and it could be luck but i don't know! it was two out of three. the difference was so small, i wonder if it would be more substantial with something that tasted a bit stronger but i don't know! there's my really scientific test. and when it's time to leave the house, especially if you're going to be away for a while, then you may be concerned about security. and here's something that's taken things on a level from the old timer switch that makes it look like someone's in when the lights go on and off. let me just set it up. there we go. simple. it's got a sensor in it so it knows if its day or night. done. home shadows aims to create the illusion that there are people moving around in the room and to me, it did just look like a bit of a glitchy light, which i suppose would indicate someone was in. but it doesn't exactly look like this. upbeat electronic music plays. welcome to eureka park, where there's always something weird to see, including this. this is levita — a cabinet where you can make anything float. they've put perfumes and watches in here for retail shops but today, they've put my microphone inside. and because the founders are magicians, they won't tell me how this is done. i am going to need that back, please. really? yes. sure, ok. here it is. there you go for your microphone, sir. it's magic! laughter. as always, more and more things are getting connected to the internet. this is a smart tap. i can ask my voice assistant "alexa, ask moen for 500ml of water". alexa: wave over sensor to dispense 500ml now. | there we go! exactly 500ml — very clever. emily, does this mean if the wi—fi goes off, i can't make a cup of tea? absolutely not! you will always have tea. the motion control sensor will continue to operate. this is battle racing, a start—up from colombia which i think we can say is inspired by an italian—japanese plumber. i can even leave little traps here for the people racing behind me, and then off i go! this is flying magic cleaner. the idea is that once you've vacuumed your carpet, you can suck some more dust out of the air — not using magic, but using static electricity. there's a few companies here this year doing facial recognition for dogs, so let's give it a try. here's a dog. we hold that to the camera and it has identified it asjohn. now, what about this dog with the pretty hair clip? is that a different dog or the same dog? that is alsojohn. laughs. upbeat electronic music plays. what do alcohol and bitcoin both have in common? every high is

please. oh, cecilia. you're breaking my heart. you're shaking my cocktails daily. ok, well, taste test. oh, very nice! is that pomegranate? thank you. and this is the perfect gadget for if you've been doing sports or exercise orjust walking around ces all day. it's cryosocks and it's going to give me instant deep cooling in my muscles from this canister here, so ijust give it a press... ah! oh, it is very cold! mmm. that was chris, and we haven't quite finished with weird and wonderful yet. oh good! you know that nice feeling you get when a baby nibbles your finger? no! no, me neither, but someone does, so meet amagami ham ham. stick yourfinger in its mouth. right. is this like i'm torturing a toy? this is quite strange. tell us what that's like. ooh! it's squeezing the end of my finger. it's kind of... yes, it is. ..dry — i don't know! it's weird. well, you enjoy that while i read the press release, which says it's designed to recreate the somewhat pleasing sensation that people get when human babies and pet animals softly bite on the fingers. it uses a special algorithm to randomly select from two dozen nibbling patterns to keep users interested — are you still interested? fascinated. most people like the nibbling sensation but know they need to teach their children or pets to stop it because kids and animals will otherwise bite them with full force eventually. amagami ham ham is a robot that frees humankind from the conundrum of whether to pursue or not pursue the forbidden pleasure. how's that for you? it's got quite excitable. can i take my finger out? yes, you may! and on that note, i think we'll leave it for ces for this week. it's good to be back, though, isn't it? it's very good to be back. it's been wonderful. super. ooh! as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. spencer, are you ok? thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye! good morning.

thousands that are going to be planted to replicate the natural hedgerows, which not only help the event soil erosion as well as the run—off of water which causes floods, but soak up water which causes floods, but soak up carbon and provide habitat for wildlife. £220,000 of government money is funding the project, but a local community interest group is organising the planting. in local

was short—lived — cole palmer scoring city's fourth and booking their place in the fourth round. i think we started really welcome on the front foot. we were quite quick, good to score even one or two goals in the first half. there was moments that may be, towards the end on the first half, we were not as good as usually, and we allowed some counter—attacks that we would prefer that it didn't

football. that is why the game is so popular. so you will never hear me say that we can't lose a game, this would be hugely arrogant. so we need to be ready and we need to have a strong squad and a

plastics will come into effect in scotland from june this year. the legislation will ban the use of plastic cutlery, drink stirrers and food containers made from expanded polystyrene. campaigners welcome the move, but some say it doesn't go far enough. here's more from our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. the evidence of our throwaway culture. this plastic is recyclable, but it is estimated about half of all plastic products produced are not. so in scotland, hundreds of millions of items of polluting plastic but can only be used once are about to be bound for good. it is really important to take the step not only to prevent obvious litter on our beaches and in our parks, i talked to kids during cop26 this year who said they couldn't play safely in our parks because they were

afternoon, mid to late afternoon across east anglia and the south—east and this area will stay wet for much of the day and windy as well, gull�*s around southern and western coasts and for many will see the sunshine coming out, temperatures after lifting through the day will drop into single figures. but at least many of you will finish the day brighter than you start. the rain clears from the south—east night, pushes showers into the west and they will be on the wintry side later this afternoon and into the night, giving an ice risk as well because tonight into tomorrow morning, while it will not be as cold as recent mornings, it will be cold enough for a frost and some ice in places, especially scotland and northern england. sunday is a much brighter one than today though, the best of the sunshine across southern and eastern areas with frequent showers across south west scotland, northern ireland into the afternoon northern england and north wales and more cloud and battery rain and drizzle towards cornwall, isles of scilly but many will have a brighter day on sunday and going beyond that into next week this area of high pressure will build which means next week is looking dry for many after a bit of a cloudy and damp day on monday. good news, it has been a bit bleak this week. a, good news, it has been a bit bleak this week. �* , ., , , this week. a bit more sunshine

through this week's cinema releases is anna smith. a very warm welcome. nice to see you again. what have you been watching? i have a varied menu for you. i have a film set in one night over a little restaurant called boiling point and starring stephen graham. then we go for a slice of licorice pizza by paul thomas anderson and finally, a film starring benedict cumberbatch called the electrical life of louis wain. that looks like something for everyone. tell us about boiling point. a fascinating film shot in one take and it's about stephen graham who struggles with this family and financial woes in a busy night in a restaurant. really an ensemble drama, so everybody working together in a restaurant trying to make a busy night work. let's have a little look. hey, my friday, it's going to be busy, which is good, and we picked some more covers up today. what? so, we're looking at about 100. so, we've got to turn the tables over, but obviously not make people feel rushed, yeah? which we can do. we've got a proposal in tonight. they're going to be sat on here, table 13, so, yeah, treat them like royalty. and a celebrity chef in, alexander skye. who? he's going to be sat in the front. alastair... alastair skye. yeah, yeah, him. he's going to be sat at the front, a bottle of chateau sat on his table, billy, yeah? copy that. good, swearing. brilliant! really loud. there's no way you can hear me from back there. well, you're not out here. i'm out here, and i can hearyou, so let'sjust bring it down, yeah? you're filthy. good. anything else on the bar that we're low on? low on cointreau, low on prosecco, low on bitters. i'lljust give them halves for tonight. ok, so we're low on quite a lot. good, anything else from you guys? no, just we need to push the veg and we need to push the fish. - 0k, push veg, push fish. we need to take a selfie for the instagram. hey! i feel very slightly tense in a good way. a stressful film, shot in one take and you can feel that authenticity and it's written and directed by philip barantini, so he knows as he used to be a chef. you can feel this is authentic and actually what goes on behind—the—scenes and of course they milk a lot of drama out of the situation. it almost feels like a lot of episodes of fawlty towers put together in a really serious way because you have the food critic in and the proposal and a potential allergy. everything is kind of stacking up against them, but it just feels real. that's real because the restaurant industry is so pressurised. we've all watched behind the scenes documentaries and read books and stephen graham, who doesn't love him as an actor? and i'm thinking he was cast for a reason, but obviously no plot spoilers, but that in itself makes me think something tough is going to happen. he is a very great dramatic actor and of course very good at improvisation which also happens quite a lot in this actually. there were several takes and each one was probably quite different, but this is terrific and it's good to see stephen graham at the centre of a movie because quite often he is playing the bit parts or supporting artist but he's the centre of the story here and it's great. known for television, and here he is in a film and this point about it was filmed in one take. is it really the case because we know they can be tweaked a bit and they can be spliced? not the longest film, but to do it in one take is extraordinary. it really is very unusual, as films like birdman have claimed it but they have been edited and there was a film called victoria which i love which did it in one take and this is a similar idea. they generally did four takes and took the best one. it's amazing. —— they genuinely did. definitely one to watch. now take us back to the 1970s. indeed, this is paul thomas anderson's film licorice pizza based on his recollections and also the recollections of a friend who was a child star and they went on to become active as a producer. —— a bit of an entrepreneur and a producer. and it stars cooper hoffman, son of philip seymour hoffman who worked with paul thomas anderson a lot before he passed away, and in this movie, he plays gary, who is 15 years old and he thinks it's a good idea to chat up a woman of 25 who is here played by alana haim, so the basic premise of will they, won't they becomes a conventional friendship developing over time and it's a kind of episodic structure as you can see with a lot of cameos from the likes of bradley cooper and some of the characters are based on real life and some are not. there is a kind of hollywood personality in this, sean penn pops up, so it's got an unusual structure but it's a very light touch for paul thomas anderson. i think it's one of his lighterfilms. one of his lighter films, but i feel really mixed about this because that central premise of 15—year—old boy and a 25—year—old woman — that just doesn't work. that central conceit does not work, even though there are lots of other things about the film that are terrific, particularlyjust the way it feels and the way you feel. like, i was very young in the time it was set, but you feel everything you see and read about the '70s is that you're totally back in that period. it's very vivid, but i agree it is set up as a romantic comedy but it's not romantic to me because i didn't really believe in this relationship. you can't believe in it. this plays into stalker tropes as well because this boy who is a persistent and he is causally calling her and she tells him she is not at all interested and he persists and persists, and he even phones up and does not speak on the end of the phone which is kind of stalker behaviour but often in these kind of male—skewed romantic comedies, this was seen as quaint and appealing and cute whereas there inverse is rarely true in film. i did have a problem with that. yes, and enjoyed it but halfway through, i loved the first a5 minutes and then i started doing this and that's never a good sign. and you talked about an episodic structure, but it dragged in the middle and picked up at the end, but it really drags in the middle and is too long. i've seen it twice and i enjoyed it more the second time because i prepared for it and relaxed into it, and if you relax into it, it's very funny. laugh out loud moments, good laughs, but, yeah, if you want a normal structure, you might be disappointed. don't go for the structure. what's your third choice this week? the electrical life of louis wain. i had not heard of him i thought, but i saw pictures of cats with the big eyes who play snooker, and i realised i did know who he was. in his film, he's played by benedict cumberbatch and he goes through his struggling artist phase as we start up and he's trying to get work, scribbling away and in the scene we're about to see, he meets tobyjones's editor who offers him some work. why were you throwing peanuts at a bull? i heard they like peanuts - and that it calms them down. but it didn't work. trouble with these show calves, huge egos. - it's a good job you can draw, mrwain, orwe would have parted ways some time ago. and don't think i haven't noticed the state of your visage. oh, this wasn't from| the bull, sir william. i've just come from a boxing class with the greatjim meese. - boxing? mmm. so, when did you draw this? 0n the train, from memory. all of them? mm—hm. so, how fast do you work, exactly? oh, just let me show you... hums. i'll be frank with you, mr wain. one of our speediest and most prolific staff illustrators has been poached by a rival publication. do you think you'd be up to it? yes, obviously. i don't find this work very taxing, sir william. - i do it to pay the bills— and to provide for the five hungry and precocious sisters that i live at home with, - until i get married, of course. —— until they get i married, of course. as a matter of fact, i find _ the whole thing rather inconvenient. it is a good watch? i'm not sure what to make of that. cumberbatch is great as that sort of eccentric character, but what i like about it is they went on to the relationship with his wife, played by claire foy. they went on and adopted a stray cat and he has an obsession with cats. normally, it's a man's best friend dog film, but you see a film this romantic about a couple's relationship with a cat, i thought was charming. charming? it goes on to deal with mental health in a way that is rather quirky and works on some levels, but to me it was the relationship with claire foy and i think it's a lovely watch. your best 0ut this week. titane's still out and this is the palme d'0r winner which shocked the world. it even unusual film. i it even unusualfilm. i like it even unusual film. i like about this is this is by a feminist female director. she did a film called raw. it is a body horror about a woman who goes on the run, but it also explores a lot about gender, about parenthood and there's kind of a serious relationship drama at its core as well, so i think if you get past the gore, you are in luck. that's a good warning was to be to get past the gore... let's hold that thought because a quick thought about the best dvd or streaming because a really intriguing documentary is out. the rescue is from the directors of free solo, about the football team in the thai cave who were rescued and it really is an incredible story, and they talked to two british men who were cave divers who had to kind of problem—solve along with a lot of other people throughout the world that were trying to figure out exactly how to get these boys out. and it's a real lesson in strategy and working together, and it's very inspiring. everyone remembers, we all followed that a story and you don't have to be a newsjunkie to know about that. everyone was gripped by that story, to hear how the rescuers did it i think sounds fascinating. even when you know what happened, it's riveting. i was gripped. i recommend that. a good recommendation. good to see you, thank you very much indeed and enjoy your cinema going whatever you choose to go and see this week. see you very soon. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: hundreds of thousands of flat owners will not have to pay to replace unsafe cladding under new government plans. a fourth covid jab is not needed yet — uk experts say booster doses keep giving high protection against severe illness from the omicron variant. hollywood remembers the actor sidney poitier, whose films in the '50s and '60s shone a light on racism and social predjudice. it's looking like mission impossible for england in the fourth ashes test. and once again in sydney, it's australia's usman khawaja, whose second century of this test is pushing the hosts towards another win. as we go into the afternoon across many western areas we will see a bit more sunshine at times. i'll have yourfull more sunshine at times. i'll have your full forecast more sunshine at times. i'll have yourfull forecast year more sunshine at times. i'll have your full forecast year on breakfast. it's saturday, the 8th of january. our top story: up to 500,000 flat owners across the uk will no longer be liable for the cost of replacing dangerous cladding on their properties, under new government proposals. the plans, set to be announced by the housing secretary michael gove, would instead see developers forced to pay up to an additional £a billion to help resolve the crisis, which has left many unable to sell their homes. newsnight�*s lewis goodall has more. it's estimated that more than half a million people are caught up in britain's fire safety crisis. and we can exclusively reveal the government's latest plans to deal with it. up until now, the government's approach breaks down as follows. dangerous cladding removal would be paid for by the building safety fund only for buildings over 18.5 metres in height. everything else would be covered either by developers paying or by a loan scheme for leaseholders. but we understand that michael gove, the levelling up secretary, will make the commitment on monday that up to £a billion of extra funding will be available to remove dangerous cladding and buildings between 11 and 18.5 metres, and that leaseholders won't have to pay anything towards that cost — a significant shift. but gove will also make clear that money will come from developers, not from the taxpayer, and if developers won't pay voluntarily, he will threaten the force of law to make sure that they comply. but this change will cover cladding only, not the host of other building safety issues found in thousands of building since grenfell and experts wonder how mr gove will be able to extract the money. well, they won't choose to pay. they'll have to be dragged to the table to offer something up. and i suspect it relies on showing, whether it's by sampling the buildings and showing that these buildings weren't built to spec, because fire breaks and compartmentation have always been required by regulations — if they're not there, that's a product of conscious choice, or it's a product of negligence, for which the developer is responsible. so michael gove needs a big stick to beat them with, along those sorts of lines, that no, this is quite clearly evidence that this is your choices and your responsibility to pay. and if the levelling up secretary is unsuccessful, leaked documents from the treasury seen by newsnight show that if the government can't raise the money from developers, then it'll have to come from existing housing budgets. hardly ideal at a time of a wider housing shortage. that was lewis goodall reporting, and we'll get more on that from him, just after 8:30am. the independent panel of experts that advises will also hear from the will also hearfrom the people living in these properties, what their reaction to this news. fin living in these properties, what their reaction to this news. on the face of it it — their reaction to this news. on the face of it it is _ their

it it is great news for people waking up to him that is relevant, but as lewis was implying there, no doubt there will be a lot of legal wrangling and hoops to jump through when they get that sorted. the independent panel of experts that advises the government on vaccines says that a second covid booster, orfourth shot, is not needed for the time being. new data from the uk health security agency shows that three months after a boosterjab, protection against severe illness remains high in older adults. simonjones reports. the booster campaign is delivering results. do you have any allergies to anything that you're aware of? and you are fit and well today? that's according to thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, which says there is no immediate need for a second booster dose for care home residents and the over—80s. the first dose is very, very important and gives so much protection that at this point in time, so right now, at the start of the new year, we don't need to rush into giving anybody a second booster dose right now. we might need to do so later on in the year, but not at this point in time. more than 35 million boosters and doses have now been administered across the uk. data from the uk health security agency shows that three months after receiving a third jab, protection against hospitalisation remains at about 90% for people aged 65 and over. protection against mild symptomatic infection is more short—lived. that drops to around 30% by about three months. some countries, such as israel, have already started offering fourth jabs, but in the uk, the priority remains getting first, second and third doses to those who have not yet had them. that will be kept under review. one thing that's changing is travel. fully vaccinated people arriving in the uk from abroad no longer need to take pre—departure tests. from tomorrow, post—arrival pcr test are being replaced by lateral flow tests. that's why today is being dubbed sunshine saturday, with travel agents predicting a big uptick in bookings from people who want to get away from it all. simon jones, bbc news. security forces in kazakhstan say they have killed dozens of protesters taking part in huge riots in its main city, almaty. the unrest began on sunday, when the cost of fuel was doubled. kazakhstan's neighbour russia has sent in paratroopers to support the government. 0ur correspondent caroline davies is in moscow. caroline, what can you tell us? good morning. difficult to ascertain exactly what has been going on in kazakhstan overnight because of course there is still very patchy internet, lots of websites are still down. we have not had much today from the kazakh authorities about what happened. yesterday the kazakh president said that security trips were regaining control of almaty, the largest city in kazakhstan. we now know that thousands of people have been arrested and, in the authorities' words, at least 26 people have been "liquidated". the only thing we have heard this morning is that there has been a statement from the national security committee which said because arc —— kazakh authorities detained the former head of the committee on suspicion of treason, somebody cold karim massemov. that suggests there is an internal power struggle going on within because it's done, at the moment we don't know because we are still waiting for more information, but people are certainly speculating that more will develop soon. three white men are beginning life sentences in the us state of georgia for murdering a blackjogger who ran through their neighbourhood. 25—year—old ahmaud arbery was chased in pick—up trucks and shot in a case that became became a focus of protests by the black lives matter movement. david willis reports. ahmaud arbery's death has been likened by his family to a latter—day lynching. three white men hunted down the unarmed jogger and killed him in cold blood. footage of the incident led to nationwide protests after it emerged that, despite being interviewed at the scene, none of the men involved had been arrested after local officials accepted their plea of self—defence and deemed the killing justified. former police officer gregory mcmichael, his 33—year—old son, travis, and the man who filmed ahmaud arbery's death, william 'roddie' bryan, were eventually arrested and brought to trial and found guilty of murder, aggravated assault and false imprisonment. they chose to target my son because they didn't want him in their community. these men deserve the maximum sentence for their crimes. ahmaud never said a word to them. he never threatened them. he just wanted to be left alone. what i'm going to do is i'm going to sit silently for one minute. to set in context the terror that he said ahmaud arbery must have suffered as he was chased through a residential neighbourhood for more than five minutes, thejudge ordered a moment's silence before sentencing all three men to life in prison. 0nly william 'roddie' bryan will be eligible for parole, but not until he is 82 years of age. as we stand here in glynn county in front of this courthouse, think about all the black people who have been lynched in the history of america, in georgia who never, ever got their day in court. ahmaud arbery's death paved the way to a period of national reckoning over the state of racial injustice in this country, one which culminated in nationwide protests over the death of george floyd. though these men received the maximum sentence, civil rights campaigners believe it will take more than that to influence attitudes that in many cases go back generations. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. allegations of another party at downing street are set to be included in the official investigation into events held at number ten during the pandemic. it comes after borisjohnson's former chief adviser, dominic cummings claimed a senior official invited people to "socially distanced drinks" in the garden, while restrictions were in place in may 2020. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blakejoins us now. jonathan, what more do we know? another year, but the same questions remain, don't they?

parties? good morning. yes, just when you thought you had . yes, just when you thought you had heard the last of drinks at downing street, dominic cummings published a blog, a former senior adviser to the prime minister, of course, yesterday, offering friendly advice to the senior civil servant, sue grey, who is now charged with leading the investigation, the enquiry into several events that may or may not have broken the rules in 2020, when london was at various points under strict restrictions, banning social mixing. in particular he is talking as you say about an event on may 20, when an invitation went out to what was described as socially distanced drinks. mr cummings says he wondered time, along with another official, this could potentially breach lockdown regulations, and suggested sue grey should dig up the email that he sent in warning, and also the invitation itself. we understand her investigation will extend to cover it will also, we are told, look into the now infamous picture which the guardian newspaper published last month, which showed the prime minister, mr cummings himself and other at ten setting out on the terrace with bottles of wine and a cheese board, but has been described as a work meeting by the prime minister and others, and dominic cummings has added his voice to the defence of what was happening in that picture, saying that at the time, staff are encouraged to hold meetings outside because the pandemic of course meant that was safer and that particular event was, in his words, in no sense a party. jonathan, while you are with

to school this week, with new rules aimed slowing the spread of the omicron variant of coronavirus. the new advice, which brings england in line with scotland and northern ireland, requires the use of face coverings in the classroom for all students and staff, as well as a requirement to take two lateral flow tests each week. elsewhere in wales, whilst the guidance around the use of face coverings is the same as the rest of the uk, testing is being encouraged at least three times per week. so, what do students make of the new measures? and their teachers? it can be hard sometimes to hear the

storming of the captiol had begun. as the attack develops, police officers defended the lockdown debating chambers while the politicians took cover. protesters assaulted officers with pipes and bars. the office of house speaker nancy pelosi was ransacked. and vice president mike pence, who was overseeing the certification ofjoe biden's victory, was rushed out of the building. while all of this was happening, there was silence from the president, eventually hours after the attack began president trump did release a video. this was a fraudulent — trump did release a video. this was a fraudulent

democrats in congress called for an independent investigation. for example, szeremeta lindsey graham, a staunch supporter, told fox news: —— senator. but a proposalfor exactly that was blocked by the republicans. instead, the democratic majority in the house of representatives, the lower house, set up a committee comprised of seven democrats and two republicans. it began hearing testimony injuly

the first, stephen bannon, donald trump of my former presidential adviser who is out of the white house long before january six but not out of politics. and in his pod cast, the day before the attack, he said: for this, and for other reasons, the january six committee wants to talk to him but stephen bannon did not want to talk and is now being charged with criminal contempt of congress. the

we will go on offence and you stand by, 0k? the second person to defy the committee's subpoenaed was president trump's former chief of staff mark meadows who has also been found in contempt of congress and may face criminal charges. mr matos had handed over thousands of pages of records but then refused to co—operate further but even that material was revelatory. we saw text messages he had received during the attack fox news host laura ingram wrote: and there was also a message from the present�*s son, read out by liz cheney. . donald trump present�*s son, read out by liz cheney. .

argue he was right to be concerned. and the committee is requesting an interview with mr hanadi, but there is one key figure whose testimony and evidence relieved —— remains elusive. mirko ——mr hannity. i , president trump has perhaps unsurprisingly refused to co—operate. he has taken legal action to block the release of official white house communication records and these delays mean it's not certain the committee will finish its work before the mid—term elections in november and the politics of this remain far from predictable. while many condemned what happens onjanuary six, the idea that underpinned it remains. one year on from the storming of the capital, polls show two—thirds of republicans believe voter fraud capital, polls show two—thirds of republicans believe voterfraud help joe biden to win. given that they did not happen, that raises profound questions about the tumour and parties in the world's most high—profile democracy and the democrats argue harm is already being done. the democrats argue harm is already being done-— being done. the root cause of january six — being done. the root cause of january six is _ being done. the root cause of january six is

- this criticism, for all the convictions of those involved in the right, donald trump remains the dominant political figure in the republican party. it remains the case he believes america's democracy is red, as to his supporters, and if you believe that, you would be furious. you would be outraged. and so, the emotion that drove january six remains. and there is no reason to think it will not manifest itself again. good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. we're reflecting this morning on the incredible life of the actor sir sidney poitier, who has died at the age of 94. the star broke down hollywood's racial barriers and became the first black man to win an oscar for best actor. his success paved the way for generations of other black artists. we're

his luck work, knew that he wanted to be a great example for black people in america, he didn't want to take on stereotypical roles, which was very daring for somebody like him because you have to

even pull off mission impossible, with the final few overs of the day intact, no wickets fell, after being sent a whopping 388 runs to win the fourth test in sydney. this comes after a day when

almost counts double. but there was a bigger picture, and at the centre of the frame was usman khawaja. recall to the team and this tirelessly torturing england's bowlers. he made a century in the first innings and made one even quicker in the second. usman khawaja, for his family and country, exhilarating. for england, exhausting. australia had declared 387 runs ahead, sending england's openers to decrease under darkening skies, trusting that they provide their own punchline again. never quite came. they weathered that storm, but with rain in the forecast, they will hope tomorrow it can be rescued by another. patrick geary, bbc news. a bit of breaking news on the novak djokovic situation. it surrounds the details of his vaccine exemption application. australian court documents showed that djokovic presented evidence of having had covid—19 within the past month, he sought exemption on these grounds, and that was granted. then his visa was revoked. meanwhile his brother says that the way the world number one has been treated australian authorities affects many more people than simply tennis fans, and there has been this rally of support, hundreds gathering in belgrade to show their support to djokovic, he was denied entry into australia by border authorities because of the covid—19 vaccination regulations. he is now that immigration detention hotel in australia, waiting a court hearing scheduled for monday, to challenge his deportation. but as a little update for you this morning, more details as to why the exemption was given at first, but then revoked. next

bear with it. especially across the north and the west, things will turn brighter through this morning and into the start of the afternoon. this is the picture from space, the clear weather is here, rushing down through the north atlantic hind this mass of cloud and underneath it, something a little bit more mild at the moment in between these two weather fronts but with it, the moment in between these two weatherfronts but with it, some the moment in between these two weather fronts but with it, some of the gusty is of the winds, the strongest and heaviest rain on the cold front which at the moment extends across parts of eastern scotland, down through into the west of england and wales and you can see this darker blue zone, rain and drizzle coming and going before that arrives and then at the back edge of becoming western scotland, northern ireland, the cloud will breakthrough this morning with son is not developing with a few showers by turning entry as the cold air pushes back and

hold steady. slightly milder than normal at about 8-11. slightly milder than normal at about 8—11. news camera operators across the country punch the air with joy. tim will be happy. thank you, matt. ten minutes to eight. we'll be back with the headlines at 8:00. now it's time for newswatch. hello, and welcome to the first newswatch of 2022, with me, samira ahmed. why, just after ghislaine maxwell's conviction, did bbc news interview jeffrey epstein's former lawyer, who has himself been accused of abuse? and was it right after that guilty verdict to hear from ghislaine maxwell's brother, ian, who insists she is innocent? the trial of ghislaine maxwell on charges of helping the late jeffrey epstein to abuse girls was avidly followed in the media around the world. so when she was found guilty in a new york court last week, it was, of course, breaking news on the bbc news channel. a few minutes after the verdict came in, the channel interviewed this man. the government was very careful who it used as witnesses. it did use as a witness the woman who accused —— it did not use as a witness the woman who accused prince andrew, accused me, accused many other people, because the government didn't believe she was telling the truth. in fact, she — virginia giuffre — was mentioned in the trial as somebody who brought young people to epstein for him to abuse. although this was not made clear on air, alan dershowitz used to be a lawyer forjeffrey epstein and, as he mentioned there, he has, along with epstein, been accused of abuse by virginia giuffre, a charge he denies. many viewers expressed shock at the interview, with michael mcelfresh contacting us to say: and john moyes added: well, the following day, the bbc acknowledged that those criticisms had a point, putting out this statement. there has been no further word yet on that but, in the meantime, there have been more objections to another bbc interview about this case, and it took place on new year's eve on radio 4's today programme and clips of it were shown during the day on the news channel. the guest — ghislaine maxwell's brother, ian, who challenged the version of events set out in court by her accusers. i'm not saying that they are lying. i mean, they — you know, it may well be that they victims of jeffrey epstein. but i do not accept that they were victims of ghislaine. that's my position, and that's also her position. again, many listeners and viewers were concerned. kate hahamis wondered: again, the bbc put out a statement in response, but this time defending the broadcast. it said: it added: we did want to talk to someone at the bbc about those two interviews but were told they had nothing to add to the statements we've heard. we can, though, hear more on this now from newswatch viewer sarah churchwell, who is professor of american literature and public understanding of the humanities at london university. sarah, you saw that interview with alan dershowitz, what was your concern? i was horrified. i was really, really outraged. and it was the phrase "formidable conflicts" in your description sticks with me from the other viewer. he has multiple conflicts of interest in this case and he is himself directly implicated, as he said. so not only did he not comment impartially on the maxwell verdict, he didn't comment on the maxwell verdict at all. he took the opportunity to charge virginia giuffre who has accused him of abuse, and to say that the verdict somehow vindicated him. so it was — it was problematic on multiple levels because at no point for a uk audience — or an audience who doesn't know who alan dershowitz is and what his very complex relationship with this case is — theyjust took him as the "constitutional lawyer" that he was described as — as an impartial, neutral expert — when, in fact, he is personally implicated in the case and has been accused of criminal wrongdoing — a very serious criminal wrongdoing. could he have been a suitable guest if enough context had been given about his connections and his conflicts of interest? i think he could have been but it is notjust that he was a guest, it is that he wasn't challenged, either. he was just given the air time put his case out there. and even when he said "this has cleared me", at no point was that taken up or challenged. if he had been interviewed where it had been made very clear that he represented epstein, that he acted for him in the non—prosecution agreement in florida that has been so controversial, and then he had been challenged, and he had been, you know, robustly interviewed, then i think that that would have been acceptable. but the problem was that none of those things happened. and we should say, of course, alan dershowitz, you know, absolutely denies any involvement in abuse. now, the bbc have said they are investigating what went on — you heard that statement. will that do? well, i guess it depends on what the outcome of the investigation is. my personal concern watching it was that at no point did the presenter say, "wait a minute — are you implicated? "what is your implication?", even if the presenter hadn't known until that moment — which, of course, they should have done. but even if, you know, you get to that point, i would still expect a bbc journalist to hear somebody say, "this verdict has cleared me personally" and then to ask some of the obvious follow—up questions so, for me, it will very much matter what the result of the investigation is. now, two days later ian maxwell, ghislaine's brother, was on the today programme defending him. what did you think of that decision? —— was on the today programme defending her. well, again, it seemed to me as if there were, it was again, a problematic decision for me. i think that it felt like preferential treatment, and i understand that they are saying that there was somebody there to challenge ian maxwell's position and that the story was actually about their decision to appeal, but i have to agree, again with your viewer, who said that, you know, is this now going to be the standard practice for people who are convicted of child sex trafficking? because, at what point, you know, are we actually saying that the bbc is going to bring on the relatives and the interested parties in a criminal case in order to defend against a verdict that is, you know, a lawful verdict that has been made? do you think the bbc needs to rethink the interviews they do on stories like this? i do, actually. i think that there was an effort here to create balance, which, of course, is very, very important for the bbc to do. but this feels to me like false balance, because what you are actually doing is allowing people who have been convicted of wrongdoing — this is not people who are charged, people who have been convicted of wrongdoing — for their surrogates and proxies to argue that that conviction was somehow problematic or overturned — or should be overturned. then, at that point, the balance in question is somebody defending a criminal or arguing that it wasn't criminal. well, that is not balance. that is not a balanced coverage of a criminal verdict in a society that obeys the rule of law. sarah churchwell, thank you so much. the difficulties tennis star novak djokovic has faced in trying to enter australia and the argument that has prompted over covid vaccinations has been widely covered this week across bbc news. some viewers considered the airtime it was given to be unwarranted, particularly in comparison with that given to the violence in kazakhstan — although the bbc has pointed out that the latter has featured across its output, including on the main bulletins. dr david pearson had this to say about djokovic. on wednesday, bbc one bulletins brought news of a notable achievement. here is clive myrie on the news at 6. a british army officer has become the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition to the south pole. captain preet chandi, who is 32, trekked 700 miles in a0 days, pulling all her equipment on a sledge. in the report that followed, captain chandi spoke about herself as an asian woman and how she wanted to inspire others with similar backgrounds. nevertheless, viv whitten, among other viewers, was unhappy with the phrase "the first woman of colour" used in that introduction, and recorded this video. it was inspiring to hear some positive non—covid news about the brave young woman who had recently trekked to the south pole. but totally unnecessary and irrelevant to describe her as a "woman of colour". we haven't even noticed her skin colour. this bbc bias is simply inverse or woke racism, which encourages division and undermines our civil society. last saturday, the news channel broadcast live the funeral service for archbishop desmond tutu, who died on boxing day. as ever, on newswatch, we will be monitoring how well bbc news satisfies competing constituencies under m5 turness when she takes up her post. in the meantime we'll be speaking to the outgoing director of news, fran unsworth, in two weeks time. and do send us any questions or comments you would like us to put to her, or any of your opinions about what you see, read or hear on bbc news on tv, radio, online or social media. you can email. you can find us on twitter. you can also call us. and do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that's all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our headlines today. hundreds of thousands of flat owners will not have to pay to replace unsafe cladding under new government plans. a fourth covid jab is not needed yet — uk experts say booster doses keep giving high protection against severe illness from the omicron variant. tennis star novak djokovic had a vaccine exemption to enter australia due to a recent covid infection, his lawyers say in court documents. and it's 'sunshine saturday�* — the day travel firms hope for record breaking holiday bookings. it looks like mission impossible for england in the fourth ashes test. after australia's usman khawaja, scored a second century, in sydney, leaving england's batsmen needing over 350 to win on the final day... i will have the full weather forecast later. it's saturday the 8th of january. our top story. up to half—a—million flat owners across the uk will no longer be liable for the cost of replacing dangerous cladding on their properties, under new government proposals. the plans, set to be announced by the housing secretary michael gove, would instead see developers forced to pay up to an additional four billion pounds — to help resolve the crisis, which has left many unable to sell their homes. newsnight�*s lewis goodall has more. it's estimated that more than half a million people are caught up in britain's fire safety crisis. and we can exclusively reveal the government's latest plans to deal with it. up until now, the government's approach breaks down as follows. dangerous cladding removal would be paid for by the building safety fund only for buildings over 18.5 metres in height. everything else would be covered either by developers paying or by a loan scheme for leaseholders. but we understand that michael gove, the levelling up secretary, will make the commitment on monday that up to £4 billion of extra funding will be available to remove dangerous cladding in buildings between 11 and 18.5 metres, and that leaseholders won't have to pay anything towards that cost — a significant shift. but gove will also make clear that money will come from developers, not from the taxpayer, and if developers won't pay voluntarily, he will threaten the force of law to make sure that they comply. but this change will cover cladding only, not the host of other building safety issues found in thousands of building since grenfell, and experts wonder how mr gove will be able to extract the money. well, they won't choose to pay. they'll have to be dragged to the table to offer something up. and i suspect it relies on showing, whether it's by sampling the buildings and showing that these buildings weren't built to spec, because fire breaks and compartmentation have always been required by regulations — if they're not there, that's a product of conscious choice, or it's a product of negligence, for which the developer is responsible. so michael gove needs a big stick to beat them with, along those sorts of lines, that no, this is quite clearly evidence that this is your choices and your responsibility to pay. and if the levelling up secretary is unsuccessful, leaked documents from the treasury seen by newsnight show that if the government can't raise the money from developers, then it'll have to come from existing housing budgets. hardly ideal at a time of a wider housing shortage. that was lewis goodall reporting, and we'll get more on that from him, just after half—past—eight this morning. tennis star novak djokovic had a vaccine exemption to enter australia. these papers have been released injust the last few minutes. he did get this vaccine exemption certificate from the state of victoria. he is now in this hotel detention awaiting his appeal against deportation on monday. on the australian open rules it does say that if you have had covid within the last six months that could be a reason for getting a vaccine exemption certificate. his lawyers have now got this court document that includes information that he did return a positive covid pcr result on the 16th of december last year, well within the last six months, suggesting he did have covid. it would be the second time because we also know he had it in june 2020, potentially a different variance. that would be why his lawyers and he thought that he was going to get the vaccine exemption, because he had had it so recently, and so he did not need to prove having the vaccine, enough to satisfy at the time the state, but does that satisfy the federal government, regarding vaccinations and exemptions? because they look after immigration. this is the crux of the matter as to why there is this sudden change. i guess it will all now be what the subsequent paperwork says, with his documents, when he arrived at check in, whether that was all right. december the 16th is the crucial day, according to the lawyers documents, that's positive pcr test. court hearing on monday. thank you. breaking news there that novak djokovic�*s lawyers in court said they presented evidence that he had covid back in december. a fourth covid jab is not yet needed in the fight against omicron, according to uk experts. the independent panel that advises the government says the first boosterjab continues to provide high protection against severe disease amongst older adults. it says the decision will be kept under review. three white men are beginning life sentences in the us state of georgia for murdering a black jogger who ran through their neighbourhood. 25—year—old ahmaud arbery was chased in pick—up trucks and shot, in a case that became became a focus of protests by the black lives matter movement. david willis reports. ahmaud arbery's death has been likened by his family to a latter—day lynching. three white men hunted down the unarmed jogger and killed him in cold blood. footage of the incident led to nationwide protests after it emerged that, despite being interviewed at the scene, none of the men involved had been arrested after local officials accepted their plea of self—defence and deemed the killing justified. former police officer gregory mcmichael, his 33—year—old son, travis, and the man who filmed ahmaud arbery's death, william 'roddie' bryan, were eventually arrested and brought to trial and found guilty of murder, aggravated assault and false imprisonment. they chose to target my son because they didn't want him in their community. these men deserve the maximum sentence for their crimes. ahmaud never said a word to them. he never threatened them. he just wanted to be left alone. what i'm going to do is i'm going to sit silently for one minute. to set in context the terror that he said ahmaud arbery must have suffered as he was chased through a residential neighbourhood for more than five minutes, thejudge ordered a moment's silence before sentencing all three men to life in prison. only william 'roddie' bryan will be eligible for parole, but not until he is 82 years of age. as we stand here in glynn county in front of this courthouse, think about all the black people who have been lynched in the history of america, in georgia who never, ever got their day in court. ahmaud arbery's death paved the way to a period of national reckoning over the state of racial injustice in this country, one which culminated in nationwide protests over the death of george floyd. though these men received the maximum sentence, civil rights campaigners believe it will take more than that to influence attitudes that in many cases go back generations. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. allegations of another party at downing street are set to be included in the official investigation into events held at number ten during the pandemic. it comes after borisjohnson's former chief adviser, dominic cummings claimed a senior official invited people to "socially "distanced drinks" in the garden, while restrictions were in place in may 2020. our political correspondent, jonathan blake joins us now. the investigation continues by the senior official now charged with looking into claims of various social events which may or may not have reached lockdown rules in place at the time during 2020 in downing street. and the latest event that she will be looking into has come to light thanks to dominic cummings, the prime minister's former senior adviser, making one of his now fairly regular interventions, publishing a blog talking about an event on may 20 2020, in which invites were sent out describing as a socially distanced drinks. he said he warned at the time, along with others, that that may be against the rules. nevertheless it seems that the event went ahead. the snow falls under the remit of the investigation. he has also defended the picture which the guardian newspaper published last month, taken five days earlier in may of 2020, showing the prime minister, dominic cummings, and others on the terrace with cheese and wine. that has always been described as a work setting by the prime minister and others in at number ten, meetings happen, not a social event. dominic cummings has added his voice to the defence of what was happening there, saying it was in no sense a party, and at the time staff are being encouraged to have meetings outside rather than inside because it was safer during the pandemic. away from the cut and thrust of politics, really striking tributes from all sides, all parties in the last few hours, to the labour mp jack dromey, whose death was announced last night. shock and sadness across the political divide, reacting to that news, which came out of the blue yesterday, that's jack dromey, labour mp and trade union activist before that, had died at the age of 73. he was married to harriet harman, former deputy leader of the party. there have been tributes from across the house from the prime minister down, from every party, people paying tributes with real warmth and real sadness at the loss of someone who regardless of your political views was well liked and well—respected. security forces in kazakhstan say they have killed dozens of protesters taking part in huge riots in its main city, almaty. the unrest began on sunday, when the cost of fuel was doubled. kazakhstan's neighbour russia has sent in paratroopers to support the government. our correspondent caroline davies is in moscow. ostensibly these rights beginning because of the price of fuel, but much more to it than that? yes there is a level of economic but also political discontent as well in kazakhstan. the fact that there was a cap on fuel prices, that was then removed by the kazakhstan authorities, that sparked this level of protest. that cap has been reintroduced for the next six months. that did not stop the protest. it could not stop the flow of what had spread across the country at that stage. we have seen a lot of images from the biggest city in kazakhstan, almaty. we have seen burnt out cars and buildings, smashed up shop fronts, as the violence has grown there. we have heard from the authorities that they have arrested over 4000 people in connection to the protests, that they have, in their own words, liquidated 26 people at least. relatively little coming out today. at the moment the internet is still patchyif at the moment the internet is still patchy if not down. we are waiting to hear more developments about how the situation is on the ground. tributes have been paid to the american actor, sidney poitier, who has died at the age of 94. poitier was the first black man to win a best actor oscar, and helped to break down many of hollywood's racial barriers, while paving the way for a generation of film stars. a host of prominent figures, including presidentjoe biden, barack obama and oprah winfrey have paid tribute to him. today is what's known as sunshine saturday in the travel industry — the most popular day for brits to book their summer holidays. and this year, it coincides with the government easing travel restrictions. since the government relaxed the testing rules for vaccinated travellers earlier this week, bookings have soared. at easyjet there's been an increase of 200 per cent compared to last week. jet2 saw bookings rise by 150 per cent in a day on thursday, and tui said it experienced a "strong uptick". jet2 says demand has returned to pre—covid levels. the holiday company saw a "huge spike" in bookings after the government announcement on wednesday. british airways says searches for holidays on its website are up by nearly 40 per cent compared to last week. spain is one of the most popular destinations — easyjet says flights to tenerife, alicante, malaga and lanzarote are most in demand. and easyjet has put more than a million more seats on sale from london gatwick, for summer this year. richard slater from the association of british travel agents, says he's feeling optimistic. we have seen an instant boost in customers. people are not worried about getting stuck overseas. here to talk us through the latest on travel restrictions is the independent�*s travel correspondent, simon calder. where are you this morning? i am at gatwick airport in west sussex. inside the boundaries of crawley, soon to be the uk's newest city, we will see about that. although the travel industry is certainly chirpy than it was one week ago, things are by no means back to normal. i am here at the north terminal because the larger south terminal is mothballed at the moment. they simply don't need it. while there is plenty of people flying in and out, the caribbean flights are just arriving, with all those lucky people who not only have had a week in the sun, but they also have not had to take that predeparture test, the departures are not as busy as they might be, because we are band from france. they would normally be dozens of flights from airports across the uk to france, those have been cancelled because the french have closed their frontiers to as at the moment. and of course, as you have been reporting at some length, australia still does not want tourists just yet. remind anyone watching who perhaps miss the detail this week, why are things so much easier from this monday compared to last monday? they are now much easier because you do not need that predeparture test. a5 do not need that predeparture test. as you heard from the travel association that was putting an off association that was putting an off a lot of people off, because you do not want to take a test before you fly back to the uk, discover that you are covid positive, and had to isolate and somebody else's country, quite possibly at great expense and inconvenience. new do still need a test on the day you arrive, or one of the two following days, and until 4am tomorrow it is a pcr test, after that it 4am tomorrow it is a pcr test, after thatitis 4am tomorrow it is a pcr test, after that it is a lateral flow test. that is much cheaper and much faster. crucially, also, you do not need to self—isolate. anybody who turned up before 4am yesterday it has to go into quarantine at home until they get a negative result. there are a couple of hundred passengers whose flights into gatwick airport yesterday morning at 13 minutes to four. they waited quarter of an hour longer to touch down they would not have needed to self—isolate. effectively a batch of where we were at last october. from tomorrow at 4am will be back to how we were in november. not completely clear of testing, but a lot of people feeling more confident. it is less expensive to take one test rather than to. what mood your tips be? it is important to remember that this could change again. that is exactly right. _ that this could change again. that is exactly right. that _ that this could change again. trisgt is exactly right. that is unfortunately the problem. we do not know once you get another variance, we have no idea if the government is good to do the scene. remember, these rules came in very suddenly in late november and early december. the advice as always is book a package holiday through a human travel agent and you will get professional expertise and gold—plated consumer protection. all the way through that miserable 22 months of this pandemic the main problem that people have had has been if they have put together a trip themselves rather than using a travel agent who could give them the latest advice and booking a package holiday so that you know either you will get the trip you booked or you will get the trip you booked or you will get the trip you booked or you will get a full refund. and i guess it is being mindful of that, if you are doing lateral flow, it is £25, if you had to do an extra pcr, it pumps up to £65, per person. sure. it is still a significant amount. £25 for a family of four ads £100 to the cost of a trip. i have found them as cheap as £7 50 this morning but for that i have to click and collect, go to west bromwich to pick up my test. £25 tests are much more common. lateralflow, from tomorrow morning. things will get easier. but we are still not anything like where we were in 2019 when people with just travel they wanted, when they wanted. just across to the queue for the innsbruck flights, people are standing in a mile long clew —— queue with loads of pieces of paper, the need to have a pcr test, they need to prove they have been boosted. that is coming down the line. the next question constitutes what constitutes a fully vaccinated. the rules are easier for those who are fully back seat of coming back into the uk but they have not changed at all for unvaccinated people, they still need multiple tests and to self—isolate for ten days. can you underline the rules for under 18 is an under trails and how that differs, if at all? if you are under 18 then you are treated as fully vaccinated even if you have not been vaccinated, but you have not been vaccinated, but you are still going to have to test if you are five or over in england, wales, or northern ireland, but only if you are 11 or over in scotland. nobody said this was going to be easy. we will let you go. you have got all the way to west bromwich to go to collect that £7 50 test. or you could fly. direct flight. another important thing to say is that you need to check the rules of the country you are going to. it is no point booking feeling content of your lateral flow on the way back. over in austria it is very strict. sunshine saturday for the travel industry. what about the rest of as? here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. we will see something brighter as we go through the day. wet and windy weather clears. some sunshine and showers later on. there will be a future showers, they will be a bit wintry. heaviest of rain in eastern scotland, down through western england and wales. the rain on and off through the day. heaviest of the rain in the afternoon. most of the rain in the afternoon. most of the rain gets out of the way through the day. there will still be a few showers. gu5ty winds across the country, that heaviest band of rain. this afternoon temperatures will drop back to single figures. eastern areas largely drive it later. showers in the west throughout tonight. some snow in places, particularly further north. temperatures close to or below freezing. the chance of ice on sunday morning. sunday morning, much drier and brighter. some showers in the west. the bulk of those in the morning. west and south—west scotland and northern ireland, they will push down to northern england north midlands in the afternoon. some patchy rain and drizzle. a cool day tomorrow. weather fronts this time not producing near as much rain as there are the fans we have seen today. monday, patchy rain and drizzle, extensive low clouds, there will be some cloud in eastern areas during the morning. temperatures on monday are starting to creep up. still single figures for eastern areas, back to double digits in the west. it will be like that too much of this coming week. some lights rain particularly for england and we are is on tuesday. after that, driest conditions in the south. a year ago most school pupils were being told to study from home and the bbc started its "give a laptop" appeal. we asked you to donate old devices, and the response was staggering. well over 100,000 laptops and tablets were handed over to families across the uk. however, the need has not gone away, as fiona lamdin has been finding out. this time last year, edwina and her four children were struggling with home schooling on a phone. this was the moment when their family received a donated laptop. your laptop isjust here if you'd like to come and grab it. oh, my goodness! a year on, we've been back to see them. having the laptop has made a lot of difference, notjust in my life, it has impacted positively in the lives of my kids, because currently, they're able to access schoolwork and all of that, it's been fantastic. it was a similar story for the adam twins, who were relying on paper hand—outs. they're now both at secondary school. it's made a huge difference. we're still using the laptop we got a year ago today. primary schools, secondary schools and colleges across england... we noticed that children who had been doing the work online came back to school in a much better place than those who hadn't. how reassuring is it for you to know that those laptops are there now? it is reassuring, because we are having to work hard every day to keep the school open, with staff absences, every day we come in and we have to think about how we're going to cover classes, and there remains the possibility that some children will have to be educated from home, so those laptops will come in handy. in the last year, over 100,000 devices like these have been donated. but as you can see, there's still demand. today, donated laptops are being handed out at the somali community centre in bristol. this is your laptop. thank you so much for that, that'll help me. i mara is 23 and is taking maths gcse. use it for your gsce, good luck for you! the waiting list is quite long. 40 individuals and families are on our waiting list, each week. hassan, this is for your children. yes, for my, children, yeah. hassan has four children, and has been waiting for months. they need more, but maybe they give me the only one. it's still going very strong. we are receiving donations almost every day, we are collecting, wiping, repurposing those laptops. and after a quick lesson logging in, they're good to go, and so the hope that people will still keep giving while they need is very much there. we see the need is there, how do we meet the need and continue meeting it? let's speak now to paul finnis from the learning foundation and digital poverty alliance. what more do we need to do? there is hue what more do we need to do? there is huge amounts — what more do we need to do? there is huge amounts to _ what more do we need to do? there is huge amounts to

people did respond at the time, and the bbc were doing some great work raising donations for refurbished laptops and community groups, is plain that work, but the reality is there is still a huge amount of work to be done, and lots of organisations we work with like currys and amazon and a whole variety of other organisations donating refurbished, in the main, so a nice circular economy, the reality is there are still millions of schoolchildren still disconnected or not having what they need. i was or not having what they need. i was auoin to or not having what they need. i was going to

getting the hardware for the laptop is one thing, but connecting it, being able to use it to link up with your school, using the internet, that's a different challenge altogether.— that's a different

were doing whatever they could, finding old laptop they didn't need any more, through to the dfe providing 1.3 million devices to schoolchildren, but the reality is, as i'm sure you are a regular user of your devices, a device without connectivity, for instance, is only so good. connectivity is absolutely urgent. also, there are loads of people out there, that have a device in some connectivity, but not the support to use this as well, so it's a very complicated jigsaw, and it cannot be fixed just by giving schoolchildren and their families a laptop, there needs to be more, just to say this is why we launched the digital property alliance, they were four years providing support for families enabling them to use technology to support their learning, we kept finding this bill numbers of schoolchildren disconnected at home are not having the connectivity they needed, when we launch this in 2017 no one really understood just had big the problem was, now of course the pandemic is shown just how urgent and how major theissue shown just how urgent and how major the issue is. just shown just how urgent and how ma'or the issue is— the issue is. just spell out the size of the _ the issue

of the issues is that — impact on that kid? well, one of the issues is that there _ issues is that there is a very clear link between digital, what we call digital poverty and poverty itself. so, these young people and families that we are talking about are often having numerous other issues on things they have to contend with, so the reality is that these young people are struggling with education as it is, then having to force to be doing that remotely makes life even more difficult for them. we know full well that a young person who is connected and has a laptop either in school as part of the way they receive their learning or at home is going to be in a substantially better position in terms of their 0 and a—level results than those who are disconnected, but there was a piece of research done last year that showed that something like one in five children and young people, that's the group 8—24, was still disconnected, still didn't have a laptop or desktop computer, and that tells you it's notjust about school are about learning that it's about life and getting ready for work where technology and understanding of technology becomes ever more important. of technology

take them, they refurbish them, wipe them and get all the data. flat owners could be spared the cost of removing dangerous cladding from their properties, under new government plans which would instead see developers expected to foot the bill. it comes as up to half a million homeowners face mounting costs for maintenance and repairs carried out in the wake of the grenfell tower fire. we're joined now by newsnight�*s lewis goodall, who has been closely following developments on this story — lewis, what more do we know? it is important, because up to now ministers have insisted the only people who should receive help are those in buildings with the height of over 18.5 metres for dangerous cladding removal, and i understand on monday michael gove, the levelling up secretary, will tell the house of commons at that threshold would be brought down to 11 metres. so, if you're in a building, and you're a leaseholder, lets not forget so many thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of them facing potentially ruinous bills and on mortgage above flats as a result of dangerous cladding, you will be in a position to say that will no longer be coming out of your pocket. michael gove will also say that it will be for developers to pay and not the taxpayers to pay, and that potentially opens a different can of worms, because that means up to £4 billion he is going to try and extract from developers who hitherto historically have been reluctant to pay, they already pay a small levy for associated cost, he will be asking them to dip in their pockets again, they have been very reluctant to do so in the past. this again, they have been very reluctant to do so in the past.— to do so in the past. this has been an incredibly _ to do so in the past. this has been an incredibly stressful _ to do so in the past. this has been an incredibly stressful time - to do so in the past. this has been an incredibly stressful time for i an incredibly stressful time for those affected. to what extent does this rectify all of the issues for all of the people involved? it’s all of the people involved? it's been all of the people involved? it�*s been enormously stressful. i've interviewed interviewed now lots of people affected, its hundreds of thousands of people, it has been ruinous, the mental health is devastated, they have had to go through the pandemic alongside all of this, and it has been devastating for them, and i've spoken to lots of leaseholders about this, it will be welcome news, but we should caveat it. this is only four people, it will only help people in buildings requiring problems over 11 metres. there are building smaller than 11 metres with fire safety problems, and fire safety problems are not limited to cladding problems. there's a whole suite, whole array of other problems that have been thrown up and discovered as part of the post grenfell checks, whether it's another an adequate fire safety, there is someone i spoke to yesterday who described michael gove or two on monday was very clear, it will only be to do with cladding, and is really clear yet if you are not affected exclusively by cladding, but one of the many problems, what you will be able to do, because the cost will be substantial.— do, because the cost will be substantial. ., , ., ,, ., substantial. finally, work at the im act be substantial. finally,

this out of our pockets it will affect our dividends, it will affect our profits, and that means we will build for the fewer homes. they will also say, they've made this point many times before, not withoutjustification, government is turning around and saying you should be footing the bill for this, they will say, well, maybe we have made mistakes, but most developers will tell you, met many people may raise an eyebrow at this, but it was built to spec at the time. they may say this is a regulatory failure going back decades, they have failed to create a regulatory system which works in which is clear, there so why don't you put your hands on your pocket as well?— pocket as well? sounds complicated, i susect pocket as well? sounds complicated, i suspect these _ pocket as well? sounds

that's treat! here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. thank you, good morning, this shot from a weather watcher sums it up, it will be a day that brightens up from the west, the range from scotland and northern ireland already on its way out, then very school the gusty winds, that's heading towards the south—east corner, so hear the rain will get heavier as we go through the afternoon, but to the north and west of england and wales much brighter sunshine and showers, that will be there from late morning onwards across much of scotland and northern ireland. the show is turning increasingly wintry. cauldro a weighing, temperatures for five celsius after briefly increasing, 9 or10 celsius after briefly increasing, 9 or 10 over the south, south—east will gradually clear away, and a touch of frost around, showers and the west, sleet and snow, that could lead to icy conditions into tomorrow morning for one or two of you, tempers close to freezing, parts of scotland minus 12—4 , the south—east the bulk of the bulk of this days rain, and showers on sunday for parts of southern scotland, northern ireland, drifting into northern england and wales, crowded out the sicilian west conall, two, cooled a bit on what was going to next week. what's the weather in sydney? it could be crucial, couldn't it? it's not a good focus, but not many interruptions today, the focus wasn't too good, so england can't rely on that. wasn't too good, so england can't rely on that-— rely on that. they haven't scored over 300. _ rely on that. they haven't scored over 300. but — rely on that.

over 300, but the way they finished, they've survived the last few overs of the force they were given some hope. a glimmer of hope, maybe. maybe even pulling of mission impossible with the opening batsmen survive few overs of the day. after being set a whopping 388 runs to win the lith test in sydney they finished the day on 30 without loss, after another day of australian domination with the bat. patrick gearey rounds it all up. once ashes series are lost, the remaining tests are those of character. today, jonny bairstow fought back. 0h, he's edged it. this morning he was caught behind. 113 runs scored, he had earned this exit. england were all out, trailing by 122, so now their troubled huddle had to slow australia down. mark wood could. he removed david warner and manus labuschagne, while jack leach finally found himself and some wickets, too. including steve smith, who almost counts double. but there was a bigger picture, and at the centre of the frame was usman khawaja. recalled to the team and stylishly torturing england's voters, he made a century in the first innings and made one even quicker in the second. for khawaja, for his family and his country, exhilarating. for england, exhausting. australia had declared 387 runs ahead, sending england's openers to the crease under darkening skies, trusting that they would provide their own punchline again. it never quite came. they weathered that storm, and with rain in the forecast will hope tomorrow they can be rescued by another. patrick gearey, bbc news. that's the cricket. as for the novak djokovic news this morning, look get the update later, but the court documents show that he had a positive result on the 16th of december, suggesting he heads covid, and one of the initial rules regarding covid vaccination exemptions was that if you have it in the last six months, so that review what he thought he would get the exemption, but the federal immigration laws are different, so it had as big as a revoked, but he has a hearing on monday, but that information has just come out, he waits in the hotel for the weekend. it will hinge on the pcr result. also, at 930, build up to the third round of the fa cup going to chesterfield. i went there this weekend. a ban on most single—use plastics will come into effect in scotland from june this year. the legislation will ban the use of plastic cutlery, drink stirrers and food containers made from expanded polystyrene. campaigners welcome the move, but some say it doesn't go far enough. here's more from our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. the evidence of our throwaway culture. this plastic is recyclable, but it is estimated about half of all the plastic products produced are not. so, in scotland, hundreds of millions of items of polluting plastic that can only be used once are about to be banned for good. it is really important to take the step not only to prevent all this litter on our beaches and in our parks — i talked to kids during cop26 this year who said they couldn't play safely in our parks because they were covered in litter and they don't feel like it's a good place to play. so this is something we can all do. it also reduces our carbon footprint. it is estimated every year in scotland, 300 million plastic straws, 276 million pieces of plastic cutlery and 66 million polystyrene food containers are thrown away. these are the items which will be bound by the new legislation. could i get a double scoop of salted caramel and a mint chocolate chip? would you like a cone or a tub? i will get a tub today. some businesses, like this one in portobello, have already switched to plant—based packaging. they are also urging customers to bring reusable containers instead. it is going to be a bit of a culture change for people generally, you know? we are very used to using plastics, especially since the pandemic, i think, the takeaway sector has become a much larger part of the industry, so injune, the government wants businesses to completely eliminate single use plastics. we have tried to do that already, we're trying to be ahead of the curve. what we're trying to implement now is a culture change among our customers. change too in other areas, after callum, who is seven, worked out that the weight of bottles to school throws out every year was equivalent to that of a giant panda at edinburgh reserve. i would like metal water bottles for every schoolchild in scotland, lessons about the environment and to make a giant scotland wide schools equal groups. some campaigners, while welcoming the move to ban most single use plastics, say it doesn't go far enough. it is a good thing? any bit of plastic that is stopped from being wasted or used is a good thing. every single minute, a truckload of plastic is ending up in the ocean, and that isn't going anywhere anytime fast, and what we get from government and big business is really mixed messages on this, we have just seen recently a delay to the deposit return scheme, which is a really simple way of claiming back plastic. that national deposit return scheme for bottles and cans delayed for now, but the ban on most single use plastics, which comes into force injune, will lead to many millions of pieces of plastic being removed from scotland's environment, helping to clean up its beaches and protect its natural beauty. lovely bit of sunshine there. let's hope it makes a difference, terrible to see that plastic washed up. he's best known to millions for his role as arthur weasley in one of the biggest film

exemption to enter australia due to a recent covid infection, his lawyers say in court documents. hundreds of thousands of flat owners will not have to pay to replace unsafe cladding under new government plans. a fourth covid jab is not needed yet — uk experts say booster doses keep giving high protection against severe illness from the omicron variant. and we meet britain's rarest species of bat making their home in a derelict stable block in sussex. this afternoon we should see more sunshine. i will have the weather forecast later. it's saturday the 8th of january. our top story. the tennis star novak djokovic had a vaccine exemption to enter australia due to a recent covid infection, his lawyers say in court documents. the papers have been released in just the last hour, and say he first recorded a positive pcr test on the 16th of december. let's get the latest on this breaking story now with our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil. how much more do we know how much more do we know because how much more do we know because of how much more do we know because of this information? this information that has just emerged from the court documents that the lawyer submitted to the court essentially hints at the question at the heart of this controversy. remember the anger around novak djokovic getting the exemption in the first places that people were asking why it was he granted that exemption? now we know why. we know that he reportedly tested positive for covid on december 16, that is less than one month ago, and according to health officials, a recent infection is one officials, a recent infection is one of the valid reasons for you to get an exemption. we also know from those documents that the lawyer said that he was granted that exemption by tennis australia and it was revoked by the federal authorities because of the public outcry, as they have put it. which means they are touching a little bit on how the government is handling this politically, how scott morrison on wednesday said that this was up to the victoria state governments, and then turned around and said, rules were rules, and no one was above the law. this is essentially what the judges going to have to look at in detail on monday. he is going to have to those arguments, the chronology and the timing of what happened is going to be crucial, but also who knew what, did tennis australia provide this kind of information to the players, to the victorian government, and to the federal authorities, victorian government, and to the federalauthorities, or victorian government, and to the federal authorities, or that he just tell the players and leave them to come here to face the situation. either way novak djokovic is still in that hotel behind me, waiting for that decision on monday, whether he will remain in australia and defend his title, or whether he will be forced to leave. just to be clear, if this is the case as the document suggests that he did have covid less than one month ago, should he have been exempt and been allowed into the country? that is according to the rules. because one of the rules of you apply for an exemption and getting it is a recent covid—19 vaccination within the last six months. according to those documents his pcr test, the positive test that was returned was as recently as december 16. if that is the case, his exemption was legitimate. but whether or not this information was given to the federal authorities, was given to the border authorities, whether they approved it, whether they knew about it, this is at the heart of this. there seems to be this monumental lack of communication between those in charge, whether it is tennis australia, the state government, or the federal government. all of them now want to bet now want different things, all that will be decided in the court on monday. many thanks. up to half—a—million flat owners across the uk will no longer be liable for the cost of replacing dangerous cladding, under new government proposals. the plans, set to be announced by the housing secretary michael gove, would instead see developers forced to pay up to an additional £4 billion to help resolve the crisis, which has left many unable to sell their homes. the independent panel of experts that advises the government on vaccines says that a second covid booster — or fourth shot — is not needed for the time being. new data from the uk health security agency shows that — three months after a boosterjab — protection against severe illness remains high in older adults. simonjones reports. the booster campaign is delivering results. do you have any allergies to anything that you're aware of? and you are fit and well today? that's according to thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, which says there is no immediate need for a second booster dose for care home residents and the over—80s. the first dose is very, very important and gives so much protection that at this point in time, so right now, at the start of the new year, we don't need to rush into giving anybody a second booster dose right now. we might need to do so later on in the year, but not at this point in time. more than 35 million boosters and third doses have now been administered across the uk. data from the uk health security agency shows that three months after receiving a third jab, protection against hospitalisation remains at about 90% for people aged 65 and over. protection against mild symptomatic infection is more short—lived. that drops to around 30% by about three months. some countries, such as israel, have already started offering fourth jabs, but in the uk, the priority remains getting first, second and third doses to those who have not yet had them. that will be kept under review. one thing that's changing is travel. fully vaccinated people arriving in the uk from abroad no longer need to take pre—departure tests. from tomorrow, post—arrival pcr test are being replaced by lateral flow tests. that's why today is being dubbed sunshine saturday, with travel agents predicting a big uptick in bookings from people who want to get away from it all. simon jones, bbc news. three white men are beginning life sentences in the us state of georgia for murdering a black jogger who ran through their neighbourhood. 25—year—old ahmaud arbery was chased in pick—up trucks and shot, in a case that became a focus of protests by the black lives matter movement. david willis reports. ahmaud arbery's death has been likened by his family to a latter—day lynching. three white men hunted down the unarmed jogger and killed him in cold blood. footage of the incident led to nationwide protests after it emerged that, despite being interviewed at the scene, none of the men involved had been arrested after local officials accepted their plea of self—defence and deemed the killing justified. former police officer gregory mcmichael, his 33—year—old son, travis, and the man who filmed ahmaud arbery's death, william "roddie" bryan, were eventually arrested and brought to trial and found guilty of murder, aggravated assault and false imprisonment. they chose to target my son because they didn't want him in their community. these men deserve the maximum sentence for their crimes. ahmaud never said a word to them. he never threatened them. he just wanted to be left alone. what i'm going to do is i'm going to sit silently for one minute. to set in context the terror that he said ahmaud arbery must have suffered as he was chased through a residential neighbourhood for more than five minutes, thejudge ordered a moment's silence before sentencing all three men to life in prison. only william "roddie" bryan will be eligible for parole, but not until he is 82 years of age. as we stand here in glynn county in front of this courthouse, think about all the black people who have been lynched in the history of america, in georgia who never, ever got their day in court. ahmaud arbery's death paved the way to a period of national reckoning over the state of racial injustice in this country, one which culminated in nationwide protests over the death of george floyd. though these men received the maximum sentence, civil rights campaigners believe it will take more than that to influence attitudes that in many cases go back generations. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. allegations of another party at downing street are set to be included in the official investigation into events held at number ten during the pandemic. it comes after borisjohnson's former chief adviser, dominic cummings, claimed a senior official invited people to socially distanced drinks in the garden, while restrictions were in place in may 2020. our political correspondent, jonathan blake joins us now. this is a new claim from dominic cummings who was very much at the heart of the operation in downing street back in early 2020, about another event which is going to be investigated for potentially breaking lockdown restrictions at the time. in a blog post published yesterday he talked about invitations going out for socially distanced drinks in downing street for 20th of may. he warned, he says, at the time, that this was not a goodidea at the time, that this was not a good idea and may have been against the rules. it has now transpired that the senior civil servant whose job it is now to investigate these claims to see if any rules were broken will look into that as part of a now extended list of events which may have broken the rules. dominic cummings also talked about an e—mail he sent which she says she should dig up as evidence of what happened, warning against that event taking place. he has also gone to defence of an event five days earlier on the terrace of downing street with prime minister and others having cheese and wine, it has always been defended as a work meeting, he says that is the case as well, because at the time people were encouraged to have meetings outside because of the pandemic. politicians seem to be putting their party differences aside to pay tribute to jack dromey, the labour mp who has died. yes, his death was announced yesterday afternoon and it came as a real shock, yesterday afternoon and it came as a realshock, not least yesterday afternoon and it came as a real shock, not least because he was speaking in parliament on thursday, in a debate about the settlement of afghan refugees in the uk. he was in birmingham to hear circular keir starmer make his new year speech on tuesday. he was a prominent figure in the labour party. a former trade unionist. he was elected in 2010, he held various senior roles in the front bench team for ed miliband and jeremy corbyn, although i did not support him in the leadership of the party. and most recently, shadow immigration minister under keir starmer. you only have to look at the tributes being paid by politicians on all sides to see how much he was respected. security forces in kazakhstan say they have killed dozens of protesters taking part in huge riots in its main city, almaty. the unrest began on sunday, when the cost of fuel was doubled. kazakhstan's neighbour, russia, has sent in paratroopers to support the government. our correspondent caroline davies is in moscow. do things look set to calm down? yes. the situation about what is happening currently on the ground in almaty is difficult to ascertain. internet has been at best patchy and for a large out—of—town has been turned off during the course of these protests, which started less than a week ago and spread rapidly across the country. they began because a cap on certain types of fuel was removed. that cap was then put on for the next six months. that still did not manage to calm the feeling on the streets, protests continue to expand that we have seen violent scenes in almaty, the biggest city in kazakhstan. burnt out cars, burnt out buildings, smashed up shop fronts. we are still waiting to hear further developments about what exactly is developing on the ground but since the protests have been going on there have been rumours swirling that they could be a power struggle happening in kazakhstan at the moment. this morning we have heard that the former head of the national security committee has been detained on suspicion of treason. he is an ally of the former president, who was in powerfor 30 years until of the former president, who was in power for 30 years until 2019. the rumours will still not be quelled by the fact that there is a dynamic situation going on and more will develop shortly, i am sure. thank you. tributes have been paid to the american actor, sidney poitier, who has died at the age of 94. you will call me sir stop the young ladies will be addressed as miss. the boys by their surnames. poitier was the first black man to win a best actor oscar, and helped to break down many of hollywood's racial barriers, while paving the way for a generation of film stars. a host of prominent figures, including presidentjoe biden, barack obama and oprah winfrey have paid tribute to him. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. i have scaled my mountain, scaled my skyscraper. we have seen snow here recently. look at some of these images that have just come from new york, theirfirst winter images that have just come from new york, their first winter storm images that have just come from new york, theirfirst winter storm of the season. central park, 15 centimetres of snow fell. more on the outskirts of the city. parts of kentucky and west virginia, a0 centimetres of snow fell in the space of a day. many interstates were littered with crashed and abandoned vehicles. this is the area of cloud and low pressure responsible, now pushing on the north atlantic, it will not hit as directly, it will push up towards greenland and iceland. we have got that area of cloud, that is bring in mild, wet and windy conditions across the country, compared to the past few days. chillier and brighter conditions are set to develop in the west. at the moment we have a band of heavy rain pleading from eastern scotland, then across northern england, wales. rain and result coming and going ahead of it. once thatis coming and going ahead of it. once that is clear, scotland and northern ireland, cloud will start to break up ireland, cloud will start to break up to the rest of this morning, some sunny spells, best of those in the afternoon, a few wintry showers. brighter in the afternoon in northern england, wales, southwest. towards south—east england it will stay cloudy and wet. gusty winds. temperatures dropping later back to four or five celsius after briefly lifting this morning. showers in the west will turn wintry tonight, particularly in scotland and north—west england. eastern areas, clearer skies. temperatures dropping down to freezing or a roundabout there. the chance of frost and ice again as we go back into sunday morning. much better day for eastern areas on sunday. parts of east anglia should see sunny spells. showers in the west. bulk of those through the morning. another cool feeling the. although temperatures are slightly above where we would be at this stage injanuary. on monday, this wedge of milder area in from the west. eastern areas will start off chilly and frosty but with hazy sunshine. lots of cloud across the country on monday. temperatures start to climb into double figures. into next week they will remain like that. but it does mean by night there will be some frost. your brother in kentucky will be jealous of our warmth. he is at the moment. lots of you have been getting in touch with questions about school restrictions and the impact of omicron. so let's get some answers now from our regular panel of experts, professor linda bauld and dr chris smith. nearly 200,000 cases per day across the uk. what are you sensing now compared to a few days ago? has omicron peaked? i think it has. levels are coming down. the data is patchy, with public holidays it takes time for numbers to catch up. that is probably why there was a bit of a surge after christmas. i have been at pains to emphasise many times through this, it has consequences that matter, not the number of cases. we should be looking very carefully at how many people become unwell, how many people become severely unwell and need to go to hospital, how many people pass away. those numbers paint a more reassuring picture across the board in many contexts, both in hospitals and in care homes. we are going to see data reinforcing the reassuring picture that the vaccines are doing theirjob. we are not seen anything like the rates of hospitalisations are consequences that we saw this time last year. despite high numbers i am fairly reassured and fairly optimistic. if we are peaking and it is starting to come down again in the charts, that could change as kids go back to school after the christmas break, students going back to campuses, people going to work if they have to, we get more mixing again? that is correct. look at some of the data on— that is correct. look at some of the data on peoples contacts. in scotland _ data on peoples contacts. in scotland average contacts around

you _ university, that is brilliant. chris, you talk about consequences, and the vaccine is mitigating the consequences, or that is what we could be done to the current situation. at what point can we say the vaccines have worked there for isolating for ten days did not become necessary any more? irate isolating for ten days did not become necessary any more? we have alread not become necessary any more? we have already got good _ become necessary any more? we have already got good evidence _ become necessary any more? we have already got good evidence about i become necessary any more? we have already got good evidence about the i already got good evidence about the effectiveness of these vaccines. that was further reinforced by data emerging this week showing that people who have had a vaccine, for many weeks afterwards art 90% protected against severe disease. that is what we must keep our i focused on. it is protection against severe disease. we neverfool ourselves we could prevent or stop covid. we can't. it is an endemic infection it will continue to circulate for years to come, but we could knock on the head its most severe consequences, loss of life, severe consequences, loss of life, severe disease, hospitalisation, thatis severe disease, hospitalisation, that is with the vaccines come into their own. we are into a regime now where the impact of covid when it gets to a vulnerable person is about the same as flu. with flute we protect the vulnerable, we take steps to do good infection control measures in hospitals. the government could go further and spent a fraction of what you're spending on testing on building decent infection control facilities and hospitals. that would also safeguard against future pandemics. but this is analogous to how we handle the flu. we should go forward with the mindset we know who the vulnerable are, we know how to attenuate the attack of this virus of these vaccines, with drugs we also have available. we need to focus on getting life restored to normal as much as possible to minimise the impact on other aspects of society. i think we are beginning to see that confidence returning now. that is very encouraging indeed. linda, we know that rules have changed today when it comes to travel, when you leave your forehead this nation to go back to the uk, they have now scrapped that first test before you leave, although you will still have to test on your arrival in the uk. somebody�*s got in touch anonymously to say, does the scrapping of the predeparture test mean you could be sitting next to someone on a long flight who has covid? it someone on a long flight who has covid? ., , . .,, covid? it does increase the risk. but the government _ covid? it does increase the risk. but the

economy, that sector, more back on its feet, to _ economy, that sector, more back on its feet, to build peoples confidence. it is weighing up different risks and benefits. another— different risks and benefits. another question. the answer to updating the vaccine question is that that is being worked on at the moment. but as we have seen, with all multiple iterations and variants this virus is a moving target. even if we did have an up—to—date vaccine today, it potentially is going to be out of date, by that definition, any matter of months, when the next variant p°p5 of months, when the next variant pops up. at the moment the vaccines we have work incredibly well despite the fact that we are now two years, yes, amazing isn't it, downstream from when we first began to report about the emergence of this new and interesting virus that was coming out of one corner of one city in one country, and now look where we are. those vaccines work because the immune response you make, despite the fact the virus changes a bit, it still makes a comprehensive enough response to mean that if you do meet the virus, albeit in the form of a different variant, you have still got enough recognition in your underlying immune response to defend you against severe disease. we are not updated the vaccines yet because to do so does take time, it does take checking, it does take effort on the part of the companies to make sure that they produce one that is safe and effective. that cannot be done overnight, but it is certainly on the table. a number of different vaccine campaigns and manufacturers are already working on this as well as looking further into the future, what they are doubling vaccine 2.0, the idea that we would make vaccines that do not need to be updated because they target parts of the virus that never change. this means we potentially have vaccines that look at variants that don't even exist yet. that again takes time to do but is definitely in the works. that leads on to this question. herd immunity is a sound epidemiological and medical term. herd immunity is a sound epidemiologicaland medicalterm. it epidemiological and medical term. it means epidemiologicaland medicalterm. it means that by enough people in the population being immune to a particular infectious disease the number of people who are in the publish and who are susceptible is that so few that the chances of someone who is infected running into someone who is infected running into someone who is infected running into someone who is in effect a ball and passing on the infection diminishes to such an extent that whenever the infectious disease is cannot maintain a chain of transmission. but to do that you do need a population where at the level of immunity in the population, and the duration of that immunity is sufficiently high that you can achieve blockage of the chain of transmission. the problem with coronavirus, as a family of viruses, is that the family of vaccines we have got a natural infection do not produce significant enough long—term infection. which means unless we are back and continuously we cannot achieve complete protection but what we can do is to achieve long—term protection against severe disease. people might catch the infection, they may pass on the infection, but there are very few consequences, certainly on the skill of what we have seen in the past. that is properly the direction we're heading in. that is analogous to what happens with the common cold or the flu. we do update peoples immunity with flu vaccines but we sustain in the population level of trust mission of the flu because it is impossible to completely block it and achieve perfect long—term protection because it is a moving target and the immunity you produce in response is not that long lived. so, when people say we will reach this tipping point of herd immunity, do not understand what that means, will never get there with this particular virus? it’s will never get there with this particular virus? it's unlikely, without a _ particular virus? it's unlikely, without a very _ particular virus? it's unlikely, without a very regular- particular virus? it's unlikely, j without a very regular vaccine update strategy, that we were to achieve a point we have zero covid, and that is why many countries have accepted that is probably going to be the way to go. countries like australia or new zealand that previously had policy of keeping covid out pending max —— mass vaccination, it is endemic. we have to think differently, and think in terms of protecting the vulnerable while tolerating a level of transmission in society without consequences, i know, it's impossible to achieve, we think, probably, herd immunity, but if you think of herd immunity is being enough people protect is that we don't have pressure on the nhs or severe levels of disease and the publisher, we are already there in many respects. publisher, we are already there in many

data to show that we are doing that, we are tolerating really high levels of virus in society, but they are not translating into consequences are quite a scale that they were historically. that shows that we are moving in the right direction, confidence will begin to come back, then people are beginning to understand that we can live alongside us, we can stop its most major impacts. it will take a

hameed and crawley, have made 30 without loss, it's a new record. that is that spirit. this defiant opening stand will give england a glimmer of hope of maybe forcing the draw, and who knows, even pulling off mission impossible, after being set 388 runs to win the ath test in sydney. bear in mind, they are yet to get past 300 in a single innings as yet in this series. and earlier it had been another day of australian domination with the bat, as the hosts look to go a—0 up in the series. patrick gearey rounds it all up. once ashes series are lost, the remaining tests are those of character. yesterday, jonny bairstow fought back. oh, he's edged it. this morning he was caught behind. 113 runs scored, he had earned this exit. england were all out, trailing by 122, so now their troubled huddle had to slow australia down. mark wood could. he removed david warner and manus labuschagne, while jack leach finally found himself and some wickets, too. including steve smith, who almost counts double. but there was a bigger picture, and at the centre of the frame was usman khawaja. recalled to the team and stylishly torturing england's voters, he made a century in the first innings and made one even quicker in the second. for khawaja, for his family and his country, exhilarating. for england, exhausting. australia had declared 387 runs ahead, sending england's openers to the crease under darkening skies, trusting that they would provide their own punchline again. it never quite came. they weathered that storm, and with rain in the forecast will hope tomorrow they can be rescued by another. patrick gearey, bbc news. next a reminder of that novak djokovic development. his lawyer's court documents state that he returned a positive pcr test result on december 16th and this was the basis of the vaccine exemption application, which he thought would allow him to play in the australian open, where he is the reigning champion. having covid within the last six months was originally given by tennis australia as a reason for getting a vaccine exemption, but his visa was revoked by immigration officials and he now waits for his appeal hearing against his deportation, which is on monday. next to fa cup 3rd round weekend, when the elite enter the competition, and for the smaller teams a chance for footballing dreams to come true and lives can change forever. it wasn't to be in wiltshire though for league two swindon town as they were knocked out by manchester city, who fielded a really strong side, and it finished a—1 at the county ground — bernardo silva with the opener. two more goals followed to put city in control — but there was a moment to remember for swindon as harry mckirdy got one back — this is what a moment of cup glory can mean. but it was short—lived — cole palmer scoring city's fourth and booking their place in the fourth round. the majority of the other ties are today, and of the four non—league sides left in the competition, chesterfield have the most glamorous match, away at european champions chelsea. in the derbyshire town, this brings back memories of the time when they so nearly created one of the most famous fa cup stories of all time, and almost met chelsea in the final. i've been to chesterfield this week to see what it means. the town with the crooked spire has finally got the fa cup tie that a cruel twist of fate helped deny them over two decades ago. it could have been one of the greatest fa cup fairy tales ever. 1997, chesterfield, then a third tier side, had defied all the odds getting to the semifinals. they were 2—1 up against premier league middlesbrough, on course to face chelsea in the final. when a third goal for them was disallowed — even though the ball seemingly crossed the line. that looked to me like it went over the line. i thought that was in. middlesbrough fought back, and ended chesterfield's dreams in a replay. i think when it comes round it's what could have been, you know, withjonathan howard's goal, was over the line, was it not? i think it seemed like, you know, if you look at replace, if you look at replays, the linesman's flagging for the goal, but there's so much going on, pandemonium, if you look back it was just an emotional roller—coaster. you know, you go from playing in front of 3000, a000, and then walking out at old trafford, a sea of red, a sea of blue, you know, the build—up to the game, the town just went absolutely crazy. it's one of the best fa cup semifinals probably there ever has been, really. even though they had lost, it was a life changing cup run for players like kevin davies, snapped up, then, by premier league southampton with his new—found fame. we were on the frank skinner show, and getting boots thrown at you to wear on tv, so it was something new for all of us, really. you know, the luck of the draw, the fa cup, like i said before, give you that platform to go onto better things. in the years since, chesterfield have struggled at times and now fallen out of the football league. but they have still made their mark around the world. it was it was here that walking football was created 11 years ago, and has since spread across the planet, opening up the beautiful game to older generations — and this week in chesterfield even the snow wasn't going to stop the senior spireites warming up for their trip to chelsea. any weather, we are ready for chelsea! we can probably give them a game in this place! we gave the world walking football, and now we givel the world fa cup shot. just like in '97, fa cup fever is gripping chesterfield again. notjust the die—hard fans in the club shop... come on, spireites! are you ready for saturday? ..and the 6000 who will leave on coaches from pubs and their homes this morning, but the one glow is being felt right across the town, giving businesses a new year boost and lifting the spirits of the whole community. everyone's buzzing about it, everyone's talking about it. i can't believe that, you know, we are competing with chelsea. 0h, itjust brings everyone together, you know? friends, families and all the young people from young ages and all over. you know, we are all talking about what we are going to do on the weekend and probably go for a and not after. it is the history of the fa that makes it so special. there's plenty of that here. this is a programme from 1950 when chesterfield took chelsea to a replay. go back to 1905, and chesterfield with a first away team ever to win at stamford bridge, where they return today. it means everything. it means everything to the players have dreamt of a game like that, to play in a game like that, and it can be life changing, but the main thing is that we represent the club right, to so to reinvigorate the community, really. in contrast to chelsea's billionaire owner, chesterfield are now owned by its community trust, a charity set up initiallyjust to get the club more involved in the community. we are now in, what, 50 schools, and several million a year with turnover, and we now own the club, which was not in the... we had never even dreamt of. the club was up for sale, it appeared that no one is buying it, and we didn't quite know where it was going, so we just sort of stepped into the breach, really, i never thought we would be going to the champions of europe 18 months later — probably even 18 years later, to be honest. chesterfield is run each month on an amount that wouldn't even pay a week's salary for some of the chelsea players. but this is the fa cup, and in chesterfield they will never stop doing things at their own pace. oh, spireites, we love you! the walking football spireites in fine voice. you can watch that on the red button. that was a lovely piece, that was great. made me want to get straight on her back. thank you. "shocking", "disgusting" and "a horror show". just some of the words being used to describe conditions in some of the flats in a privately owned block in portsmouth — where residents are suffering severe issues with damp and mould. people living in "windsor house" say communal areas have also been used by drug addicts and rough sleepers. the city council is now investigating what it can do to get action taken by the private owners. steve humphrey reports. so, it's pretty bad. it's been steadily growing despite over the years, and it leaks, because it's leaking from here, behind the wall, and it soaked right through, that's why there's water damage all over this place. the mould in ian knights's flat has been getting worse and worse since he moved in 13 years ago. yeah, it's disgusting. you can stay in there for more than ten minutes at a time. so, i try to be in and out as quickly as possible. ian, who is disabled, says up to now he is not been able to get any help to sort out the mould. i haven't been able to contact my landlords for years. none of the numbers work. nobody knows how to get hold of them. ian is not alone. other residents in the 37 flats at windsor house are also having problems with mould and damp. the ceiling's had some issues with leaking for the last 9—10 months, and even though the ceiling has been replaced, it still continues to drip. there are people wiping down the walls, within a day, the black mould is back. nobody seems to be doing anything. this is why it has come to the stage now where we've got together a collective, and we need help to get this sorted. they are also angry at the conditions of the communal areas. a broken front door lock means that the corridors have been used by drug addicts and rough sleepers. there's needles, there is rubbish, there's fly—tipping, you know? it's really quite bad. leah says the owner of her flats is try to help. because of a freehold issue, they are unable to access the bits that they need to be able to get to to fix the underlying issues. this is a horror show. this is horrible. it's horrific. and as a result of photographs like that, footage like that, that i asked the council to investigate, there are various things we can do. one of the powers, for instance, is actually to do some repairs ourselves and recover the costs from the landlord. part of the problem with that, as the tenants have said, is who the landlord is, and it's a complex management structure, i understand, that owns this block. we are going to get to the bottom of it, because the tenants deserve it. i just want help. we just all of us won't help. we just all of us want help. we want it rectified. that's the main thing that we do want it rectified, we want our clients to be livable. already today, city council officials have been to windsor house. ian knight's flat was amongst those that have been inspected. steve humphrey reporting. attempts have been made to get in touch with the owner of the building, but we've yet to hear back from them. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. we've been talking about sunshine on saturday, so where better than the algerian desert for a bit of sunshine? that is what you would probably think, but take a look at this footage from yesterday in algeria. it was the desert covered in snow. now, the snow is not completely unusual here, but as in europe, the cold air has been pushing its way southwards in causing this wintry scene is to form. as here in the uk, the cold air has now been cut off. we had this big swell of cloud in the north atlantic is going to start to dragon something a bit milderfor now atlantic is going to start to dragon something a bit milder for now at least, but something cooler pushing in, a package the weather system you can just say, that will introduce brighter weather took the north—west through today, but the further south and east you are, it's been a wet day so far, get ready for it to stay wet and feeling windy. gusts of 30-a0 wet and feeling windy. gusts of 30—a0 miles an hour, ring clearing away from nose and eastern scotland and down to the south—west, it's down here that winds will be strongest, the rain off for the heavy strain arrives, but scotland and northern ireland, the rain will break up, a few showers as temperatures drop, then later in the afternoon northern england and wales, potentially worth millions of the south—west could see some sunshine at times, too. staying cloudy and wet with the heaviest in east anglia and the south—east of an in, in temperatures up to about 10 degrees, but they'll start to drop in northern and western parts, dantas 305 celsius by the end of the day. that leads into a chilly night tonight, southern and eastern areas will be clear, isolated showers, shower is coming and going across western areas, rain, hailand shower is coming and going across western areas, rain, hail and sleet, temperatures dropping either side of them, close to freezing, chunks of ice around as we head into tomorrow morning, so tomorrow morning will be a bit chilly to start, especially in the east and south, a much brighter start and a much brighter day by and large, staying dry with sunny spells. showers in the west, most frequent into the afternoon across northern england, later in the day across the south—west, west conall, isles of scilly, we will see some cloud and patchy rain. that's milder air trying to push in with these weather fronts, air trying to push in with these weatherfronts, so air trying to push in with these weather fronts, so progress air trying to push in with these weatherfronts, so progress made on monday, these weather fronts weatherfronts, so progress made on monday, these weatherfronts not going to produce the amount of rain we are seeing today. heaviest rain on monday, north and west of scotland, patchy rain and drizzle with extensive cloud across many western areas, the crowds that enough where it will stay largely dry, temperatures starting to creep up, they will creep up further through the week, with just a few showers around on tuesday, in the south at least to stay dry, but here frost and fog, enjoy your saturday. nice to see you, matt. it's just gone 9:50am, we move onto another story. tens of thousands of trees are being planted in a lake district valley to help prevent flooding and improve habitats for wildlife. if you need to think about going outdoors, these pictures are great. volunteers are working with local farmers and the national trust to try to protect the landscape. alison freeman reports. small saplings, but with a big part to play in helping the environment. these trees are some of thousands that are going to be planted to replicate natural hedgerows, which not only help to prevent soil erosion as well as the run—off of water which causes floods, but soak up carbon and provide habitat for wildlife. £220,000 of government money is funding the project, but a local community interest group is organising the planting. in three or four years i would think you'll have a hedge getting on for sort of four or five feet high, or something like that, and you would start to see that blossom already and those berries that early on. so give it a sort of 10 or 15 years and you'll have a nice, established hedge that will be good for the birds, lots of nesting, lots of food for them, and hopefully, i mean, we've got red squirrel around here, we've planted hazels in here, get the hazelnuts, we can help the red squirrels. i think it will be really nice. the national trust secured the funding for this scheme, which will see trees planted mainly on farmland around oldswater the lake district, an area where farmers have faced criticism from some for changing the natural face of the uplands. what you can see here is the farmed cultural landscape where this work can happen hand—in—hand, so it's absolutely not about conservation or farming, it's about finding the right path to have both. so this is dogrose, a very twiggy type of thing. while it will be mainly volunteers planting the trees, the funding has also secured employment. a job for robbie, who lives nearby. because i do often see these places, coming back along, just working, you see how they are doing. you sort of see which ones are going well and which ones aren't. yeah, i get lots of satisfaction out of that. the volunteers have planted 650 trees today, but over the next two years they're going to plant around 38,000 across the oldswater area. the trees are donated, the services are free, why wouldn't the landowners take advantage of what everybody's doing? you can see things deteriorating in many ways, so to put something back, to actually work with nature rather than against it, is wonderful. we can help out like this and get a nice day out. why is it important that you are doing this now? i think we are at crisis point, where we've got to really figure out, particularly in a cultural landscape like the lake district, how we're going to move forward. we know we're suffering catastrophic biodiversity loss, loss of species, loss of nature. these projects are really about preserving this landscape forfuture generations, and my family's been in this area for a long time, and i hope we will be for generations to come. alison freeman, bbc news, the lake district. beautiful. absolutely. let's all get out there at some point if we can in the next few days. another wildlife story for you, out and about were also staying in. britain's rarest species of bat — "greater horseshoe" bats — have been discovered in west sussex for the first time in 100 years. now two charities — the vincent wildlife trust and sussex bat group — are fundraising to turn the derelict stable they were found in into a special maternity unit, after they showed signs of breeding. let's talk now to bat conservation officer, tom kitching.
