here's sarah keith lucas. h is e's sarah keith lucas. h is a . sarah keith lucas. h is a glorious eith lucas. h is a glorious winter :as. h is a glorious winter day out there for of us today, blue there for many of us today, blue skies, sunshine, this is the picture taken by one of our weather watchers. the blue sky overhead. not everywhere quite as fortunate, some mist and fog lingering for some places but for the rest of today, most of us looking dry with at least some spells of sunshine. high pressure very much with us, across the uk for a couple of days, that means quite stagnant air around, light winds especially in the south so we have had day upon day build—up of air pollutants especially in london, medium to high levels of air pollution out there today but that should tend to improve as we head through tomorrow. quite a lot of sunny and dry weather, we have some pockets of fog lingering especially through parts of the midlands and east anglia and lincolnshire so if you are stuck under some of those pockets of all, temperatures are struggling round about freezing but for most of us in the sunshine and temperatures between 5 degrees and 10 degrees, more cloud in northern ireland and scotland. just some splashes of very light and patchy rain in the far north—west. most of us try and settle through this evening and tonight and you will see mist and fog reforming especially through the midlands, wales, lincolnshire and east anglia and temperatures just a few degrees either side are freezing so sam frost around tomorrow and you may well see that lingering quite extensively across parts of england and wales. a little bit of sunshine across parts of scotland and northern ireland, some brighter spells there compared to today, more cloud for england and wales. light winds, temperatures close to the east coast will struggle at around 5 degrees but double figures towards the south—west but again if you see mist and fog lingering through the day, that could set the temperatures back a little bit. we will see a cold front moving in from the north as we head through the second half of the weekend, sunday, some light splashes of rain moving south across parts of england and wales, either side of that weather front there should be some sunshine, one or two isolated showers in the south but probably more sunshine on sunday compared to saturday, a touch milder as well with temperatures between 7 degrees and 11 degrees. i pressure not going anywhere in a hurry so once the cold front fizzles out we see the next area of high pressure building in as we head into the new working week. that keeps things largely dry and settled for many of us through the next week or so. perhaps a little bit milder with some splashes of rain in the north—west and we could see some frost and fog overnight. north-west and we could see some frost and fog overnight.— frost and fog overnight. sarah, thank yom _ that's all from the bbc news at one so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. you're watching bbc news. the latest from the bbc sport centre. novak djokovic is weighing up his legal options after having his visa cancelled for a second time in australia. his lawyer says the governement�*s basis for trying to deport him is for �*exciting anti—vax sentiment�* the australian open starts on monday and he is the reigning champion, but over the past few days, it's emerged that there was an error in his original application to enter the country and the world number one, who hasn't been vaccinated, has also admitted to breaking covid rules in serbia before christmas. the immigration minister alex hawke has cancelled djokovic's visa this morning �*on health and good order grounds on the basis that it was on the public interest to do so.�* here's our tennis correspondent russell fuller. what we know is that novak djokovic as a free man tonight. he will have to report to the offices of border force in melbourne at eight o'clock tomorrow morning at which point he will almost certainly be detained. that will allow him to spend the morning with his lawyers with border force official somewhere else in the building and then he will have to return to an asylum hotel where he spent four nights, waiting in the hearing last weekend. at that stage to healing will perhaps take place on the sunday. this has not been confirmed but the plan is to get everything done by sunday so novak djokovic and the australian open know where they stand. andy murray is in sydney, where's he'sjust reached hsi first atp tour final for three years. after his semifinal win over reilly 0pelka he had this to say about the latest twist in the djokovic saga. it's not a good situation for anyone. i don't know whether he can compete in the tournament ago on practising. it looked as if england were going to have their best day of the ashes so far, but australia's batsmen hit back in the final test in hobart, closing on 241—6. england won the toss and bowled first and reduced australia to 12—3 david warner and steve smith both out for ducks, they recovered thanks to 44 from marnus labuschagne and a quickfire hundred for travis head and also 7a from cameron green. 0llie robinson and stuart broad took two wickets each . rain delayed the start and also brough an early close. australia 241—6. i think ithink in i think in the middle section we could have bowled better and the combination of them counter attacking and hitting our guys off their lengths, really and us a little bit slow to adapt to that was i think the cause of what was a really good partnership and then between travis and cameron. one other football line for you before we go. burnley�*s match against leicester in the prmier league tomorrow has been postponed. burnley don't have the required number of players available — 13 outfield players and one goalkeeper — due to covid—19 cases and injuries. you can watch the masters snooker and the latest on the novak djokovic case. i'll have more for you in the next hour. i'm jane hill. a phased plan to remove covid restrictions in wales has been set out by the welsh government. restrictions on large events and businesses, brought in to tackle the 0micron variant will be scrapped over the next two weeks. the first minister, mark drakeford, says there are signs wales faced with what we knew and we were seeing about the 0micron variant we introduced level two measures on boxing day to keep as many people safe and as many businesses as possible open and prevent the nhs in wales from being overwhelmed. those measures combined with the christmas and new year holidays have acted as and new year holidays have acted as a many firebreak and flattened the curve of infections and given us more time to get people vaccinated. because of the crisis we moved inside the welsh government to a weekly review of the measures so we could make sure they were always proportionate to the public health risk. now in this week's review the cabinet has agreed to a plan to take us back step—by—step to alert level zero. provided, and that word f is a big word here always, if we continue to see the public health situation continue to improve over the next few weeks. we will do it in that careful phrase the way as we have throughout the pandemic and this will allow us to make sure that the early signs of improvement from this week continue as we look to make those for changes. and a server we will be monitoring the data —— as ever we will monitor the data very closely and look at the impact on staff absences and particularly the impact on schools where we will go on doing whatever we can to support face to face learning for children and student in schools. we are making one immediate change. as from tomorrow the number of people who can be present at outdoor events buys 50 to 500. and if the public health situation continues to improve we will make the further changes shown on the slide you are about to see. from tomorrow, the 15th of january, the about to see. from tomorrow, the 15th ofjanuary, the move about to see. from tomorrow, the 15th of january, the move from 50 to 500 people at outdoor events and from the 21st of january, friday next week, all outdoor activities will move to alert level zero. there will move to alert level zero. there will be no limits on the number of people who can take part in outdoor activities, crowds will return to outdoor sporting events and indoor hospitality, i beg your pardon, outdoor hospitality will be able to operate without additional measures and the covid pass will continue to be required for entry to larger outdoor events. on the 20th of january we will move to alert level 04 all indoor activities and premises. nightclubs able to reopen, working from home strongly advised that no longer a legal requirement and the covid pass to be required to enter larger indoor events. then when as we hope when we have returned to alert level zero we will returned to alert level zero we will return to three weekly review cycle so by the 10th of february we will be back from a weekly review to a review of the regulations and as ever will continue to review all the protections in place. so today we are in the optimistic place of being able to take those first steps back to alert level zero and we are able to alert level zero and we are able to do that only because of the amazing hard work and effort of everyone in wales who has once again followed all the rules and taken all the steps to keep ourselves and all loved ones safe. google is spending $1 billion buying and refurbishing its london headquarters— and expanding its office space across the uk — in a sign that working from home's not about to become the norm any time soon. google's uk boss says when government guidance allows it, he'll be asking most staff to spend three days a week in the office. but he told the bbc�*s business editor simon jack that hybrid working will be experimental over the next two years, as companies and employees try and find the right balance. we want to reinvigorate the work environment, we are making this commitment, we are buying these buildings, we're going to invest in reinvigorating the office and refurbishing it and we are keen to see everybody come back in and see a vibrant workspace again. we have committed to three days a week on average but we are also introducing other forms of flexibility so we're introducing four weeks of work from anywhere so you can choose four weeks over the course of the year and go and work from a location, you do not have to come into the office and we are also going to introduce recharge days through the pandemic to make sure people are looking after their well—being. are you not worried you might be at a competitive disadvantage with companies who are actually requiring fewer days than that in the office? i think we will have about 20% of roles over time that are fully remote so there are definitely opportunities for people to come and work with us but on a fully remote basis but for the vast majority of roles, it will be three days and again, it comes back to it we have surveyed our employees, we have talked to them about what they value and they want and collaboration keeps coming back, the opportunity to be in a room with their colleagues and collaborate and work on problems. it's something they really value. it seems at the moment we are in an employees' market, staff shortages in many places, fierce war for talent, do you think the employees are in a situation where they are calling the shots at the moment? where does the balance of power lie? this is still an experiment, the next two years will be an experiment of equal measure, trying to find out what hybrid and flexible actually mean and i think it will differ from company to company and role to role. i think it will be a lot of trial and error over the next two years. it is true that at any one time fewer employees will be in the office all together. yes. and that has quite bad consequences, serious consequences for the businesses that serve areas like this, coffee shops, gyms, hairdressers, dry cleaners. it's inevitable they are going to suffer? i think what will happen is there will be an evolution so i think there's definitely going to be more people, we talk about our workforce and maybe as many as 20% of our roles will be remote. but that means there's 20% more people in local villages and local towns which will reinvigorate those. but 80% of our people are going to be coming into the office, we are going to be continuing to grow our footprint as we have talked about on the back of this investment. so i still think there will be lots of economic activity in the environments around our offices and it's something we are very focused on as well. now it's time for across the uk. people in london are being advised to avoid strenuous physical activity today because of "high" levels of air pollution. the warning comes just a few days after the mayor said the capital is facing a public health emergency over air quality. meghan 0wen has more. you may have noticed walking around london in the last few days that there has been very little wind and that is actually proving quite a problem. there is an intense area of high pressure over western europe at the moment which means that car pollutants and other emissions are not being blown away as usual, and as a result londoners are being advised not to undertake strenuous physical activity today. the government's daily air quality index says even healthy people should avoid physical exertion, but extra caution is being offered to those who are elderly and those with lung and heart problems, and those with asthma may need to use their inhaler more often. the government's forecast predicts pollution levels will hit band ten, which is the highest on the scale, and the last time we saw this was in march 2018. pollution levels will be high across the whole of the city today, but the stretch from stratford in the east to hammersmith in the west will be particularly dirty. it is now six weeks since storm arwen left a trail of destruction across much of the north east of england and scotland. but there continues to be questions about why so many homes were left without power in its wake. last night saw the first of a series of public meetings in northumberland aimed at learning lessons from the storm's aftermath. 0ur political correspondent luke walton reports: for a northumberland b&b ownerjude, the shock of storm arwen is only just subsiding. this is the scene outside her property, filmed by look north shortly after the storm. coming outside and suddenly realising there were huge trees down all over the area, down over the top of the roof. the biggest problem was a prolonged power cut made worse by a lack of information about when she would be reconnected. she is now open for business, but still unhappy about her treatment. when you are on day ten, sitting in front of a fire with no heating and no way of making a cup of tea, it does start to feel like you have been completely forgotten. that frustration is widely shared. we live in the centre of ponteland, we are just a mile from an international airport. this meeting in darras hall one of a series organised to hear from residents hit by the storm. didn't have any power, any heating. everything was gone. what was the impact on your family? horrendous. we had no power for six days. we couldn't speak to anybody within the grid because there| was nobody taking calls. it was horrific because we had no heating, lighting or anything at all. it was like going back into the dark ages. northern powergrid says it has already paid out more than £300,000 in compensation and is improving its communication with customers. the mp behind this gathering says further change is vital. there is no doubt that we can do better, that we can be more prepared, putting it bluntly. we are doing that. there are a number of different enquiries by 0fgem, the department for business, northumberland county council, and we are feeding in all that information from constituents who are going to come tonight. a devastating blast of wind and ice. seven weeks on, the political debate about the handling of the storm still blows strong. luke walton, bbc look north. the us supreme court has blocked the white house from enforcing vaccine or test requirements for large private businesses. the mandate would have forced firms with 100 or more employees to either get vaccinated or submit a negative covid test weekly and wear a mask to enter the workplace. the biden administration had argued the rules were necessary to address the "grave danger" posed by the covid pandemic. the bbc�*s samira hussain reports from new york. in this decision, the supreme court was sympathetic to the efforts being taken by the white house to combat the virus. even citing the toll of the pandemic has taken on the country. nevertheless, the court said it is not legal for the government to force a vaccination mandate. although this comes as a blow to the biden administration, which really viewed these requirements is a key tool in its arsenal to fight the covid pandemic. which really viewed these requirements as a key tool in its arsenal to fight the covid pandemic. the decision cannot really stop private companies from instituting their own vaccine mandates. this is basically saying that the white house cannot enforce those mandates. two of america's big investment firms citigroup and jpmorgan have already said to their employees they must be vaccinated to enter the workplace or face termination. other companies are likely to follow suit. the supreme court decision came on the same day as the white house announced it would make high quality masks available to all americans for free and it would secure an additional 500 million covid—19 tests. in 2014, a devastating storm struck the south devon coast, destroying a stretch of railway and cutting cornwall and most of devon off from the rest of the country for several weeks. you might remember these astonishing pictures of the tracks in dawlish, dangling in mid air after the sea wall was hit by 80mph winds and washed away. in 2019, work started on construction of a new sea wall to protect the railway and the local community, asjohn maguire reports. a hairline crack appeared, and then throughout the day, itjust kept opening up and just kept opening up and the cracks just got — kept getting bigger and bigger. you were standing onjust, like, moving land when we were trying to move the fences because the fences were there and the crack was appearing and we were open at the time. didn't quite know what to do. and people were coming in. we couldn't afford to close, so we were just ferociously trying to fence it off as it was moving, so that it was not a danger to anyone. for the past 18 years, cara strom has woken up every morning wondering whether her home and her business, the blue anchor pub, would still be standing. at high tide, you could feel the waves inside, so you could feel not... the building wouldn't shake, but you would definitely be able to feel when it was hitting. recently installed huge boulders, rock armour, as it's known, should reduce the wave power and prevent the cliffs on this stretch of the west somerset coastline from collapsing. i've said they'll fish me out of the bristol channel if they have to. i'm not giving up, and i'm really glad that i didn't give up. i never thought of giving up. not once. obviously, there are days, aren't there, when you think i'm just not getting anywhere, nothing's ever going to be done. i'm going to fall in the sea. i'm going to have nothing. but i've neverthought, "oh, you know, it's not worth... it's not worth carrying on." luckily. winter's the most anxious time for those at risk from coastal erosion. here at sandy bay in east devon, a huge section of land fell away last week, with holiday caravans just metres away. but landslips can occur all year round. last spring, what was said to be the biggest in 60 years saw a major collapse on dorset�*s jurassic coastline. 0ur foreshores are constantly changing. to understand what forces are at play in reshaping them, researchers from the university of plymouth study the cliffs, dunes and sands at perranporth on the north cornwall coast. this is ourfavourite beach. we've come here already for 15 years and we survey the whole beach every month. the beach here is 3.5 kilometres long, and a severe winter storm can shift up to one million cubic metres of sand out to sea before summer tides bring it back again. the beach isn'tjust popular with visitors, but it's essential to protect the town. the amount of sand that's on the beach determines how easily the town gets flooded. so if you have an extreme winter with lots of sand being taken away from the beach, so you're lowering the beach surface, if you then get a storm, the town is more likely to flood because people don't really realise that beaches and dunes are naturalforms of coastal defence. and the wider the beaches and the higher the beaches, the better protection the beach provides against flooding. and built on these shifting sands is the watering hole pub. the owners here are channelling king canute and holding back natural forces. the way this has been built and the raft it's on is pretty full on. it's how much money do you want to spend on it and how much is it worth to us to do that? and i think for us, yeah, it's a very valuable, valuable thing as it's our livelihoods and it's with the, you know, it's a 42—year—old family business. so it's... so, yeah, it means quite a lot for us to to maintain it and keep it here. decisions about what, if anything, to do are a balance between risk to people or property and cost. man vs sea is an expensive business and often, despite design, engineering and deep pockets, it's the sea that wins the power struggle. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. we have got a reasonably dry, settled spell of weather with us at the moment. that is going to be sticking around for the next few days. certainly some problems with mist and fog, which in a few places are lingering, but also some blue sky breaking through. really, for the rest of today, things are looking mainly dry, and we will see plenty of sunshine, particularly further south across england and wales where high pressure is well and truly in charge of our weather. with light winds, too, we are also seeing a few problems with air quality. some high levels of pollution, particularly around the london area at the moment. we have had several days of that high pressure trapping those pollutants with very light winds to disperse them, too. but that will tend to improve as we head through tomorrow. so, a bit of brightness as we end the day. once the sun sets, though, temperatures are going to drop quite quickly. so by six o'clock this evening, down to around about two degrees for much of england and wales. a little bit milder for scotland and northern ireland where we have got more cloud, more of a breeze. some spots of light, drizzly rain across the far north of scotland, but most places dry through this evening and tonight. once again, we will see some mist and fog patches reforming, particularly across parts of england and wales. temperatures will get down below freezing, so another cold, frosty night for some of us. some pockets of fairly sharp frost across parts of northern england, for instance, under those clearer skies. now, for some places, that mist and fog, particularly towards the east, will be quite slow to clear through the day tomorrow. but for most places we are looking at another dry day, some sunshine around for parts of northern england, wales, scotland, as well, and later in the day that mist and low cloud will tend to break up further south. so temperatures close to the east only about 5 degrees or so tomorrow, but turning a little bit milder, just about pushing into double figures from the west. now, as we head through saturday night and on into sunday, a little bit of a change as we see quite a weak weather front, a cold front pushing its way down from the north. that will bring initially a bit of rain to scotland and northern ireland overnight. during sunday, that willjust push its way across central parts of england and wales, but tending to peter out as it does so. one or two showers to the south of that, as well, but by the afternoon most places in the clearer skies. there will be some sunshine returning from the north and temperatures between about 7—11 on sunday. once that cold front gets out of the way, fizzles out as we move on into monday, high pressure once again is building its way in from the west. so lots of dry, settled weather, really, through much of the week ahead. perhaps a few showers around here and there in the north and west on tuesday, and temperatures fairly typical for this time of year. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines... downing street apologises to buckingham palace — after revelations that two parties were held at number 10 the night before the duke of edinburgh's funeral last year. the prime minister did apologise for mistakes that have been made. we have the enquiry taking place by sue gray. and, you know, we are very clear that there were real mistakes made. a court in australia orders novak djokovic to be detained from tomorrow morning after the government cancels his visa for a second time. andy murray says the row is bad for the sport. thisjust seems like it's dragged on for quite a long time now. and, yeah, not great for the tennis, not great for the australian open,
