Its extremely frustrating, because obviously we couldnt go and see her when she was conscious still in the hospital, and you know, i weve come here today, and it still doesnt feel. Like proper closure, because there was no contact from her going into hospital to the death to the funeral. | go getter. How draining is that for you and your colleagues . Emotionally, very draining. You know, when we have to deal with the families coming in to us, but physically as well. You know, its a very manualjob, its a very hands on job. This sort of profession has been taboo for many, many years, but i think that its quite sad, but Something Like this has had to bring it to the forefront. That report from tim muffett. Time for a look at the weather. Heres chris fawkes. New weather will try to turn milder from the south west as we go through the next few days. The main risk of any disruption really will be across the high ground of Northern England and scotland. Why . Because this is where the battleground is between the mild air in the south west and the mild air in the south west and the colder air in the north east. Through this afternoon, most of us will see rain, but above 200 metres elevation, there will be a little snug around for a time. It will tend to turn back to rain across the peaksin to turn back to rain across the peaks in the pennines, but not of the central belt, a different story. Some significant accumulations of snow, particularly in the grampians, above 400 metres, 5 10 centimetres. Winter is not done with us just yet. Overnight, the snow eases off for a time, but as the mild output is in from the south west, a lot of low cloud around. Some missed on hill fog patches, but it will be a mild into the night, temperatures eight or nine celsius in cardiff and
plymouth as we head into wednesday. A lot of misty, murky weather on wednesday, miss dunhill fog patches slowly lifting. The best of sunshine will be crossed scotland, where the cold air is, and later in the day, rain approaching wales and south west england. Temperatures up to ten or 11 celsius. Thursday, this battleground over the central portion of the uk mild air in the south west, colder air in the north east, and this is another day where we could see more significant transport disruption across Higher Elevation roots. These are some of the high roots that can be affected. The m62 could be affected, the m6, higher parts of the a74 in scotland. We are talking about significant accumulations of snow, but low down, mostly rain you will see. No chance of snow in cardiff and london, with temperatures of 12 and 14 celsius
respectively. Thursday, the risk of disruption limited to the higher parts of Northern England and scotland, but with as much as 30 centimetres of snow in the forecast at Higher Elevations, you can imagine the risk of disruption is pretty high across those higher parts. Thursday, that will clear south, and friday night into saturday, the next system comes in. Just a small change, the wind direction. It could turn some of it to snow, but at the moment we expect rain. A reminder of our top story a row over vaccines as the eu threatens to restrict supplies to other countries if it doesnt get what it says is its fair share. Thats all from the bbc news at one, so its goodbye from me. Good afternoon, its 1 30pm and heres your latest sports news. We start with chelsea who are set to name Thomas Tuchel as their new manager. Hes expected to sign an 18 month deal as he replaces Frank Lampard who lost his job at Stamford Bridge yesterday. Joe lynskey has more. Chelsea got a super rich owner in 2003. These are the faces Roman Abromovich has hired and fired since. He goes for coaches who have won major titles at the biggest clubs. Frank lampard was the exception but now that phase is over. Chelsea are set on Thomas Tuchel a man who made his name in germany, winning the league twice in france and took Paris Saint Germain to the Champions League final. Paris sacked him last month when there were one point off the top. He is a very good manager on the pitch and modern and smart, off the pitch we will see how it goes. In paris the problem was he did not win hearts but to be fair he was coping with huge egos. That is a blueprint for german coaches here and Thomas Tuchel knows how to followjurgen klopp. Hes replaced him at two bundesliga clubs. Kai havertz and timo werner came here from germany, part of a 200 million summer spend. Frank lampard says he is disappointed he
dont get time. Im always sad when a colleague loses hisjob. And, of course, frank is notjust a colleague, he is an important person in my career, so of course i feel sorry. But its the brutality of football, especially the brutality of modern football. So when you become a manager, its something that you have to know that sooner or later is going to happen to you. Thomas tuchel needs to negative covid to take charge tomorrow. They call him the tactician but what matters is can he get results. Another man under pressure, more from his own fans than the clubs owner, is steve bruce. The newcastle manager did not allow questions from printjournalists at his press conference yesterday. He knows he needs to stop his sides slump in form, they havent won in ten games, and are at home to leeds tonight the problem with her as she
repeatedly calls for action that we are already taking. She is always two steps behind and the opposition has no plans and no direction and no clarity on what is the biggest crisis facing this country in the world for nearly a century.

being delivered by a group of representatives to the senate. Democrats in congress accuse mr trump of inciting insurrection by encouraging his supporters to attack the Capitol BuildingWhilejoe Biden was formally being confirmed as the winner of novembers election. Heres our north america correspondent, david willis. It is a rare ritual established with the first us impeachment trial of 1862. Lawmakers filing through the marble halls of congress, the seat of government desecrated less than three weeks ago by a violent mob, to signal the start of only the fourth impeachment trial in american history, and the second within the space of the year. Passing statues of eisenhower, jackson, jefferson and grant, they carried with them across the Capitol Rotunda a single in american history, and the second within the space of the year. Passing statues of eisenhower, jackson, jefferson and grant, they carried with them across the Capitol Rotunda a single article of impeachment en route to the senate which in two weeks time will determine Donald Trumps fate. He stands charged with high crimes and misdemeanours. President trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled the coequal branch of government. He thereby betrayed his trust as president to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Donald trump has been granted a two week delay in order to prepare his defence. A key question, once proceedings get under way, on the 9th of february, is will he turn up . We fight like hell and if you dont fight like hell, youre not going to have a country any more. With those words, delivered just before a joint session of Congress Called to certinyoe bidens election victory, donald trump is accused of inciting the storming of the Capitol Building. Five people died in the mayhem. Among them a Police Officer and a protester who was shot dead by capitol police. Since his inglorious departure from the white house
less than a week ago, little has been the scene of the former president. He has been at his florida estate, exiled from twitter and other forms of social media, but clearly still mulling a comeback. In a statement bearing what looks remarkably like the president ial seal, he makes no mention of impeachment but pledges to maintain his agenda through advocacy, organising and public activism. The statement concludes, President Trump will always and forever be a champion for the american people. Later today, the 100 members of the senate will be sworn in as jurors in mr trumps impeachment trial. A two thirds majority is required in the senate in order to convict him, a target evenjoe biden has conceded he thinks is unlikely. But if convicted, donald trump could be banned from Holding Public office ever again. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. President biden has overturned Donald Trumps ban on transgender peoplejoining the us military. Mr trump announced the ban in 2017 citing what he called � tremendous medical costs and disruption. But the Biden Administration says a comprehensive study found transgender people had very little impact on the military� s healthcare spending, or its effectiveness. Janet yellen has been confirmed as the first ever female us treasury secretary in a senate vote. Ms yellen who headed the Us Central Bank from 2014 to 2018, earlier won bipartisan support from members of the Senate Finance committee. Shell be responsible for guiding the Biden Administrations economic response to the pandemic. The Biden Administrations economic at her confirmation hearing on 19th january, ms yellen urged congress to approve trillions more in pandemic relief and economic stimulus, saying that lawmakers should act big without worrying about national debt. The delay between a person contracting coronavirus and then being admitted to hospital means that despite a fall in cases, the pressure on the nhs continues to grow. With different parts of the country experiencing a peak of infection at different times, our Health Editor hugh pym has been to ashfield in nottinghamshire
to see the effect the loss of life people need to know it is not a game. It is frightening. Barbara lived with cancer before it went into retreat. Theyre brilliant, lovely nurses. Then she was struck by covid. She was keen to get this message across. Just wear your mask and wash your hands. Thats all it is, isnt it . Thats all theyve got to do. I think it was last wednesday when i came in, i think, i dont remember. Going in . No. Along the corridor is paul who is 53 and considers himself fit. Hes over the worst now but he says it was a frightening experience. Yeah, i fought it for about five or six days. At home . At home, ijust couldnt cope any longer. Much of this floor of the hospital
has always housed wards for those with respiratory conditions. And now theyve been expanded with room for nearly 100 patients in bays and cubicles. Almost all of them with covid. From experience i can tell you that im seeing more sicker patients this time than i saw in the first wave. Umar is a doctor in a e. He says theres been a huge influx of covid patients. In both his professional and personal life hes seen the savage impact of the virus. When we come to work, weve got to shut down Everything Else thats going on at home. Weve got to focus on our patients but i can tell you from experience my parents have got covid, my mother in law is in icu at the moment, ivejust lost some very dearfamily
relatives to covid. So when you see these patients in the hospital, itjust gives you that flashback as well. But you have got to shut that down and youve got to continue looking after your patients as best as you can. After every patient is seen, diane and her colleagues have to deep clean the cubicles, floors, walls and surfaces. She is on the covid front line as much as anyone. Cant see no end to it, to be fair. And i think if you could see the light at the end of the tunnel, and somebody to say, its going to turn off, then that would be brilliant. But were soldiering on and were trying very, very best to work as hard as we possibly can. How do you feel personally sometimes . Me . Upset, i go home and sometimes i could just sit and cry. Itsjust because its demanding at the moment. Machines beeping. This isnt a big city Teaching Hospital so covid puts even more of a strain on resources. Theyve had to triple the number of intensive care beds, including converting a former childrens recovery area. Jen is a nurse whos been redeployed from another role to help out. Ive been a nurse, ive been a nurse for 21 years. Some of the shifts that i have had are the toughest that ive ever had, in particular one night shift that i had last week was one of the worst shifts ive ever had in 21 years in nursing. It was really sad, seeing the patients that we have die. The family members that couldnt be here. At times, the hospital turns to others for support. We are at a stage where the ongoing provision of Safe Services may be compromised. We are already supported by the east Midlands Network and also further afield by transferring patients out which is something we do rarely in normal times. Please, we need you to use some of their beds. Ive got quite a few discharges, it looks like theres two now
and ten later if thats correct. At regular bed meetings throughout the day, theyjuggle the constant flow of patients and they know there are more to come. We will see the peak in the east midlands in about early february. We know that our hospitals are incredibly busy at the moment, the rate of covid continues to be out of control in the community, and thats a clear indicator of where we think we will be in two to three weeks time. Are you ready . There are signs of hope in the hospital. A trial of a 24 7 Vaccination Centre has proved popular with nhs and care staff, getting theirjabs after changing shifts. Youve got to have a sticker all right . Yeah. And in the maternity unit, life goes on. New life with sam cuddling her new baby son oliver. It is good to see that there is still positives coming out in such a horrible time where all you see is the doom and gloom and the figures and all the deaths and everything like that. There is still, theres happiness out there. So it is difficult
because we are not able to see family and things, but weve just welcomed a new little person into the world and, you know, it is a nice time for us, its a happy time. Its something to be celebrated. While there is hope, there is also sadness. Barbara died yesterday. Her family were keen for us to use her interview to warn of the serious consequences of covid. Mp5 on the Health Select committee have been hearing evidence on lessons to be learned from the response to the coronavirus pandemic so far. The committee met this morning to hear evidence from Sir Simon Stevens the chief executive at nhs england. The chief executive when asked about the governments decision to delay second doses of the vaccine. Sir simon said it was, in part, due to a supply shortage. Is this being done because of a supply shortage . And the answer to that is, of course, yes, there
is a supply shortage. If there were unlimited vaccines, then you wouldnt see what the European Commission was saying yesterday, you wouldnt see italy attempting to sue one of the manufacturers, you wouldnt see germany in uproar as it is today. So, of course there is a supply shortage. Weve done very well in this country to get the supply we have available to us. The question is, how do we use it to best effect . Were joined now by the conservative mp chair of the house of commons Health Select committee and the former health secretary, jeremy hunt. Im a bit confused. Yesterday we were im a bit confused. Yesterday we were hearing professors were saying the extension of that gap between the extension of that gap between the first and second doors is actually the first and second doors is actually a the first and second doors is actually a positive thing i know it is being actually a positive thing i know it is being blamed on poor supply. What are we to make is being blamed on poor supply. What are we to make of is being blamed on poor supply. iiisgt are we to make of where is being blamed on poor supply. iiiisgt are we to make of where we are with the Vaccination Programme . I are we to make of where we are with the Vaccination Programme . The Vaccination Programme . I think it is auoin the Vaccination Programme . I think it is going extremely the Vaccination Programme . I think it is going extremely well, the Vaccination Programme . I think it is going extremely well, to the Vaccination Programme . I think it is going extremely well, to get i it is going extremely well, to get to six and a half Million People this quickly. Remember, jab the was
only approved before christmas is pretty impressive. But we dont want vaccine nationalism because without Global Pandemic countries need to cooperate really closely and we need to talk to each other about potential new variants which is what i think matt hancock says is still welcome with us helping countries with a Genomic Testing and we need to be working really closely at every stage and i think threatening to interrupt the supply is a fact another country would be a very big step backwards. It another country would be a very big step backwards. Step backwards. It has already happened step backwards. It has already happened we step backwards. It has already happened. We have step backwards. It has already happened. We have the step backwards. It has already happened. We have the eu. Step backwards. It has already happened. We have the Eu Health Commissioner threatening to do just that. Commissioner threatening to do ust that. ,. ,. ,. , that. They are using words and i think they that. They are using words and i think they are that. They are using words and i think they are trying that. They are using words and i think they are trying to that. They are using words and i think they are trying to exert. Think they are trying to exert negotiating pressure on astrazeneca and i hope it doesnt come to anything. If we look at the uk contribution we in this country funded the development of the oxford
astrazeneca vaccine which may well turn out to be the cheapest, most easily transportable vaccine, an absolute life saver in places like africa so i think the uk has definitely been punching above its global weight in this pandemic and we need that kind of cooperation between countries to carry on because other countries have also been doing really important things. I dont need street spokesman has been saying they would not get into hypotheticals in the said any question on eu policy was a matter for them but you are saying it isnt, its for all of us. It for them but you are saying it isnt, its for all of us. Isnt, its for all of us. It is incredibly isnt, its for all of us. It is incredibly important isnt, its for all of us.

It 3 incredibly important for all of us to recognise pandemic still no borders and we have to Work Together and we have to be much more successful in getting back to normality if we Work Together with other countries so there is a lot of negotiating and posturing going on as the eu tries to sort out their astrazeneca supply and understand what that might be happening but i think the long term outcome is best
for the eu and us is that we Work Together as closely as we possibly can. Together as closely as we possibly can,. ,. ,. ,. , can. Looking at the title of the oint can. Looking at the title of the joint committee can. Looking at the title of the joint Committee Meeting can. Looking at the title of the joint Committee Meeting you i can. Looking at the title of the joint Committee Meeting you have today, learning lessons from what went wrong, it would have been a much quicker and easier meeting if you looked at what had gone right. Something has gone wrong and i think our response in the early days of the pandemic this time last year was too slow and are ramp up of testing was too slow and so on but the Vaccine Distribution has been something where we have genuinely been a world first in the job of select committee is to be impartial and not like Prime Ministers questions if you like so we are pleased we can abort some very positive things alongside some of the well known setbacks.

People from minority ethnic backgrounds and People Living in cramped accommodation and obese people. In this country we have a gap in Life Expectancy between the richest and poorest between ten and 12 years and if we are going to make sure those sections of society are more resilient in a future pandemic then i was basically asking so simon should we make sure the levelling up agenda which is typically about the north south divide is also about their Health Inequality divide and he was giving that strong support. Thank you so much forjoining us this afternoon. The Prime Minister will be holding a press conference at five oclock this afternoon and alongside him chris whitty and so simon stephens. Covered on bbc one. Lets take a look at some pictures of the first giant panda cub to be born in south korea, which have gone viral. This is fu bao. These images of her clinging on to her zookeepers leg have had millions of views worldwide. Fu bao is believed to be about six months old and her name mean lucky treasure. Now its time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. As the weather moves into cold air, there is something of a battle zone are set in place. There is a risk of seeing some heavy hill snow across Northern England and scotland, posing no threat of some disruption. A band of rain pushes end for many of us today, a band of rain pushes in for many of us today, but it is these higher communities above 200 metres elevation is where you could see some snow. These now could be longest lasting towards the central belt, but if you live at these lower elevations you could see a few flakes of snow as the precipitation starts, but that will turn back into rain as the milder air works in. Overnight tonight, a lot of cloud around and i suspect it will be rather murky, with mist and fog patches forming over high ground. It will be increasingly mild, temperatures at eight or nine
degrees through south western areas. Wednesday, a pretty slow start to the day, some mist and fog patches around. Later in the day, rain will push into southern wales and south west england, temperatures here could reach around 11 celsius. Then we have got a number of these battle zones set in place for thursday, again bringing rain for many of us, but the potential is there for some very destructive snow over high elevation routes. Some of these high routes are all high enough to see some significant falls of snow and disruption as well. We could also see some problems on the railways too. For most of us, mild air pushes in from the south west, 14 degrees in london, but in scotland the risk is there as it is across Northern England. Heavy hill snow to come as we go through thursday, 15 30 centimetres of snow, you can imagine the prospect
for some disruption. Friday night, any change in the wind direction could turn the rain to snow, for the time being it isjust rain. This is bbc news. The headlines. A row over vaccines as the eu threatens to restrict supplies to other countries if it doesnt get what it says is its fair share, the uk says not to worry. Im very confident with the team. We talk to them all the time. They are confident they will deliverfor us, yes. And astrazeneca, the bulk of Astrazeneca Oxford is manufactured in the uk because we made that early investment. The growing toll of coronavirus. New figures which suggest more than 100,000 people have now died with covid 19 across the uk, and more than 30,000 in care homes in england and wales. 10 days quarantine in a hotel when you arrive back in england and you pay. The government plan which could skupper Summer Holiday plans. Schools will be prioritised when lockdown restrictions are lifted,
