Cases, weve got this virus back under control. Running for rob. Rugby league star Kevin Sinfield sets off on an epic marathon journey in support of his friend rob burrow who has Motor Neurone Disease. Its marine v mourinho in the fa cup. The eighth tier non league side land a dream third round draw against the premier League Leaders tottenham. Good morning. For central and eastern areas, it is a cold start. For some a frosty start. Sunshine in the west and thick cloud and drizzle which will push east during the day. All the details in ten minutes. Its tuesday, the 1st of december. Our top story. The British Retail Group, arcadia, which owns some of the uks best known clothing brands, has gone into administration, putting 13,000 jobs at risk. Arcadias collapse also appears to have scuppered a rescue deal for debenhams, which could push the Department Store to the brink of liquidation. John mcmanus reports. Happier times for the Arcadia Group and the man who steered it to success, sir philip green. But with the confirmation last night that the group had gone into administration, it seems this british Retail Success story has hit the rocks. The future of 41m stores, plus hundreds of concessions in other shops, now uncertain. 13,000 jobs are threatened, and those workers pensions are also at risk from a massive hole in the Pension Scheme. There have been calls from mps for the green family to plug that gap. Sir philip and his wife, who is resident in the tax haven of monaco, are estimated to be worth £930 million. Arcadia operated hundreds of concessions in debenham stores, a chain which is also in trouble, but which was in talks to be saved bij sports. That deal now expected to be scuppered, putting at risk a further 12,000 jobs. How did it all go so wrong . The online players, such as asos and boohoo, dont have the cost face of the stores, they dont have to pay for staffing in their stores. All they have is their online presence. Theyre much better at it. Theyve invested a huge amount of money in it, and they have a much better connection with their customers. With just weeks to go before christmas, and the sector already in the midst of a pandemic inspired slowdown, its a stressful time for arcadias employees. A lot of us are feeling a bit anxious because we dont know the full extent about whats happening ourselves. For us, its about money around christmas time. Bills have to go out. We dont know if we can afford stuff for christmas. Were worried about what will happen to our Pension Schemes. Will we still get paid if were in administration . For now, arcadia will continue to trade and the government says it stands ready to support those who are affected. But over the next few days, the administrators will also get to work to decide the fate of this once iconic giant. John mcmanus, bbc news. Mps will vote later on whether a new, stricter, three tier system of controls to contain coronavirus should be imposed in england. Borisjohnson is facing opposition from many conservative mps, who are against the plans, but labour will abstain in the vote, meaning the plans are likely to pass. Heres our political correspondent, jonathan blake. When lockdown lifts in england tomorrow, a new set of rules is due to come into force, an enhanced three tier system which ministers insist is needed to keep coronavirus under control. Through everything that people have sacrificed weve reduced the pressures on the nhs, we brought down the number of coronavirus cases, weve got this virus back under control. Last night, the government published a document supporting its approach. But many conservative mps who were not convinced, still dont believe a tighter tiered system is right. What it is, is a rehash of a lot of the information that was published in the 0br report on the 25th of november. But very little, if anything, around what consequence of these different tiers will be. Labour have concerns too, but say opposing the plans would not be in the national interest. So theyll neither vote for or against, but abstain, meaning the new measures are likely to pass. Plotting a path through the pandemic has meant difficult decisions at every turn. There may be hope of easier times ahead, but england is about to enter a new phase and nobody can say the near future is clear. Jonathan blake, bbc news. And at 7. 30am today, well talk more on tiers and testing with Cabinet Office minister michael gove. Englands chief inspector of schools says the lack of monitoring and support of Vulnerable Children during the pandemic should be a matter of national concern. In her annual report, Amanda Spielman warns of a legacy of neglect of children who became invisible to services when they were not at school. Heres our education correspondent elaine dunkley. So weve had a few issues last week. For some of the most Vulnerable Children, school isntjust a place to learn, its a safety net. So are you happy that youve got some support now, and things are a little better . Schools are often where the first signs of abuse or neglect are picked up. Its the tension, a loss of love. But with more children away from classrooms because of the pandemic, theres concern that those at risk are not getting the help they need. Theres a range of different vulnerabilities going right from poverty, just through to not being safe at home due to circumstances that theyre living with within their within their household. The welfare and wellbeing aspect of it is huge, especially when students are at home. Here at Birchwood Community high school in warrington, this new centre opened in september, to help students with wellbeing and mental health. And there has also been a big increase in home visits. If we had a concern over a student wed just nip out in our cars and just stay in the garden and have a quick chat and just say, you know, were here for you if you need us. Were seeing a few rumbles in students who are struggling, and we know that. But i think, you know, once this pandemic is over for us, the aftermath will be clear and well have to deal with that. I think weve not seen the start of it yet. Every aspect of education has been impacted by the pandemic. The report by 0fsted warns of a legacy of neglect for children most at risk. The department for education says local authorities have been provided with £3. 7 billion to meet additional demands, including within childrens services, allowing dunklee bbc news in washington. Elaine dunkley. Now, theres a bit of good news on Climate Change. Scientists say new International Commitments mean global temperature rises could be limited to 2. 1 degrees by the end of the century. The us president elect, joe biden, has announced plans for 100 clean energy and china says it will achieve net zero Carbon Emissions by 2060. Our environment correspondent matt mcgrath reports. From the uks wettest february on record to raging wildfires in california. The fingerprints of Climate Change linked to human activities have become increasingly clear this year. But efforts to curb greenhouse gases, the root cause of global warming, has so far had limited impact. When countries signed the paris climate agreement in 2015, they undertook to limit the rise in temperatures to well below 2 celsius this century. When scientists added up all the pledges made to cut carbon, they amounted to around three degrees of warming by 2100, with potentially disastrous consequences for the planet. However, the last three months have seen some significant changes. China surprised the world by announcing at the un they would aim for net zero Carbon Emissions by 2060, while president elect joe biden has promised the us will achieve the same goal ten years earlier. Taken together, these steps would limit warming to 2. 1 degrees, much closer to the paris goal. The scientists, who have carried out this analysis, say its a significant step. You can argue about the exact figures but the trend is very clear, we are moving in the right direction, and we can clearly see that more and more countries are taking it seriously and put very serious targets on the table. Researchers say there are still many difficulties, particularly the absence of short term plans from governments that reflect their long term promises. But, after many years of bad news, this new forecast suggests that the efforts to tackle Climate Change are beginning to bearfruit. Matt mcgrath, bbc news. A chinese spacecraft is expected to land on the moon in just a few hours, with the aim of bringing back rock samples to earth. The Chinese Mission hopes to pick up about two kilos of grit and dust. Its been more than than a0 years since lunar surface materials were last brought back to earth, and china could become only the third country to achieve this feat. We have got more on that later. 1st of december have you opened your Advent Calendar . Last night, i forgot to set all alarms. I woke up at the right time anyway, which was at the right time anyway, which was a bit ofa at the right time anyway, which was a bit of a life saver, otherwise you would be on your own. That is my worst nightmare, forgetting to set my alarm. I must have been very tired last night. Anyway. I was about to get you in the mood for christmas. Shall we have a look at some festive films of penguins . Have a look at these. That appears to be the case at the london aquarium, where penguins left bored during lockdown have been watching christmas films. elf. is it time for our annual debate about whether die hard is a christmas film . It is a film set at christmas. It is a christmas film. 0k, christmas. It is a christmas film. Ok, lets not go there right now. What keep penguins. Cute. Carol has the weather. Today is the first day of meteorological winter. Some of us will see some snow. There could be some at lower levels. The forecast today, cold in central and eastern areas and then we have got sunshine before cloud moves in from the west. Behind that cloud, it will turn colder and that would be the theme for the rest of the week. It will also turn more unsettled. Clear skies first thing this morning. Showers coming down the north sea coastline. They will ease as we go through the day. The cloud already in the west will start to move towards the east and the south with patchy drizzle embedded in it. The sunnier skies are likely to be across the midlands, east anglia and the south east. Brightness in aberdeenshire. No heatwave in prospect. This evening and overnight, eventually we will see the cloud coming across getting into the cloud coming across getting into the south. Then a more active weather front comes in from the south west, bringing in a narrow band of rain. Behind that, the return of blustery showers. Some of them will be wintry, down to about 500 metres. There could be frost in parts of the midlands and south east. If you are wondering when and where we will see the snow, a longer forecast when and where we will see the snow, a longerforecast in when and where we will see the snow, a longer forecast in about half an hour. Last night, after hours of waiting, the news 13,000 shop workers had been dreading was confirmed. The group that owns topshop, Dorothy Perkins and burton collapsed into administration. The Ripple Effect on the rest of the high street is already being felt. Ninas taking a look at the details for us this morning. We knew this was coming. Rumours and speculation for the last three days. The group which owns brands we all know topshop, topman, miss selfridge, Dorothy Perkins and burton has collapsed. Nearly a50 shops, plus a presence in hundreds of other retail outlets like Department Stores. All part of this mans empire. Sir philip green once known as the king of the high street. He and his wife tina, the majority owner of the group, are together worth an estimated £930 million, with a private yacht and a high life in monaco. But things havent been as plain sailing for the group the greens own. Even before coronavirus, arcadias best known brands were struggling, partly because theyve failed to maintain engagement with younger customers whove moved on from walking in to stores on their feet, to buying from their phones. Topshop is one brand who does not seem topshop is one brand who does not seem to have reacted. All the high street brands had come into influence marketing at sometime or other. Brands like aysoss and boo hoo are other. Brands like aysoss and boo hoo are steaming other. Brands like aysoss and boo hoo are steaming ahead with it. Brands within the Arcadia Group do not seem have adapted. Asos and boohoo. Lockdown was the final nail in the coffin the chief executive last night saying, in the face of the most difficult trading conditions anyone has ever experienced, ultimately the obstacles we encountered this year became far too severe. Administrators will now look at whether any part of the business can be rescued. A worrying time for 13,000 workers. For theirjobs, but also their pensions. Their Pension Scheme has 10,000 members and has now been taken over by the Pension Protection Fund. Thats a lifeboat set up by government and paid for by other Pension Schemes. But like anything it comes at a price. For those people who have already retired, there will be no difference to the pension they receive. However, their inflation increases year on year Going Forward will be a bit less than they had been promised. For those bit less than they had been promised. Forthose people bit less than they had been promised. For those people who have not yet retired, their pension increases will also be a bit less than they were promised. In addition, once they retire, they will get a reduction of 10 . Extra funds were being paid into the scheme by the pandemic and there are calls for those commitments to be honoured. And today we learn the impact of arcadias collapse elsewhere arcadia brands have a lot of outlets within debenhams stores. The sportswear retailerjd sports has been in talks to buy debenhams in a rescue deal but we expect them to pull out of that later. Debenhams employs around 12,000 staff. Another hammerblow to the high street. According to one research body, nearly a quarter of a million retail jobs could go this year. With shops re opening after lockdown in england tomorrow, we do not know how long the arcadia shops will stay open for. Yesterday, so shops will stay open for. Yesterday, so many people said they started their working life at an arcadia outlet with a saturdayjob or when they were studying. For lots of people, it is your First Experience of customer facing work. At the same time people can now setup brands from their bedrooms. Things are changing very rapidly and it is not all from the for the worse. Lets take a look at todays papers. The daily mirrors headline says no jab, no entry. Its referring to a story that restaurants, bars and cinemas may turn away customers if they have not had a covid jab. The warning comes from Nadhim Zahawi, the minister in charge of the vaccine rollout. We will ask michael gove about that at 7 30am stop. A tory revolt against the governments tier system for england leads the daily telegraphs front page. More than a0 conservative mps are expected to vote against the bill today, with labour abstaining. The party says thats in the national interest. And the metro is one of several papers to carry a picture of pop star rita 0ra, who has apologised for holding a lockdown birthday party. The paper says the singer will voluntarily fine herself £10,000 for the breach. And on the bbc news website, theres a story about an early boom in Christmas Tree sales, as people rush to decorate their homes. A Business Owner in dorset says hes sold a third more trees than usual for this time of year. Lots of people have got their decorations up early. Have you gone yet . No. That is not like me. 1st of december i am. The kids persuaded us to go earlier this year, normally two weeks. We were talking about beavers yesterday. I said they had a limited skill set. The full moon last night. To know what was called . A beaver moon, or a frost room. We did not plan to talk about beavis yesterday but it just did not plan to talk about beavis yesterday but itjust happened. Any excuse. I have a great story here. The duchess of cambridge, who of course has been talking about her early years of research, research he has been doing into zero to five. She did an instagram live, where she was talking directly to the camera. You could see all her most recently used emojis on her phone. Most used, theyre weeping with laughter one. I use that all the time. Then pineapple, vomit and somebody bowing, which means a sincere apology. She is a mum of three. Do you think may be the kids have been using her phone . I am you think may be the kids have been using her phone . Iam not particularly interested, i had to say. It is fascinating nonetheless. Two great pictures for you. These are both pictures for the peoples choice category. Amis and a dog. Hold on. Amys and a dog. A moose. Also owls. These are burrowing owls. Very, very cute. That is it. Sir eltonjohn hasjoined a group of charities to call for anybody going for a blood test to be offered hiv screening too. They claim more testing would halt new transmissions in england within a decade. It comes as bbc breakfast Analysis Shows that rates of hiv are rising in older women despite overall figures falling. Jayne mccubbin has more. As gillian approached her 50th birthday, she became ill. Seven doctors examined her, seven doctors gave her a barrage of tests but no one, including gillian, had accurately guessed what it might be. It never entered your head that it could be hiv because, in your head, hiv wasnt something that happened to people like you. No, no, no. Absolutely. Not at all. You only suggested to the doctors that they maybe should do this test for one reason. Because id seen Gareth Thomass programme. The reason im doing this is because firstly. A year ago the welsh rugby captain made hiv and me. I want to remember what its like to live again. And gillian, poorly at home, was watching. I want to remember what its like to feel free. And by doing that, i want to empower so many other people, who are in exactly the same position as me. I sort of sat and watched the programme, really heartfelt for him because it was a really big thing he did and obviously his situation, etc. I totally understand why he did it. But was so pleased that he had. If i hadnt have seen that programme, lets put it this way, i would never have got myself tested because i would never. It would never even entered my head. If you had the chance to Say Something to gareth, what would you like to say . Oh, my god i did actually private message him when i first found out. Didnt get a reply but then i didnt expect to because, you know, his page would have been absolutely rammed at that time. Hold that thought because im going to let him in the room now and you can speak to him direct. Thank you. Brace yourself. Hello, you. Hello. Gareth, meet gillian. Gillian, meet gareth. Oh, my goodness i want to thank you, gareth, im trying to keep myself composed here. My husband has been an avid, avid rugby and especially welsh rugby fan and hed recorded the programme. I know through the programme you said, if this programme can help just one person get diagnosed and be able to live a normal life, thats what you wanted to achieve. And ijust wanted to tell you, mate, youve done it. I swear to god i would still be not knowing i was hiv until this day day if it hadnt been for your programme. So i owe you my life, to be quite honest. Im not really sure how to respond to what you said. I made that documentary. I saved my life doing it, i really did. I saved my life doing it. I never thought id probably meet somebody who would have been affected and have such a positive story from something that has only ever been spoken about in a really negative way. So i thank you for telling your story, i thank you for going and being tested and i thank you for carrying on, living your life and being a role model. Bless you. Have a good christmas. Thats lovely. You saved my life. What can i say . Gareth thomas helped break the stigma of the disease which is plummeting amongst men. Diagnoses fell 18 in the last annual stats but amongst women its a different story. Diagnoses are down a overall. They are rising in parts of england and wales and especially in the over 65 age group. Today, on world aids day, charities are calling for testing for hiv whenever blood is taken, regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexuality. You get tested because you realise that you dont have to be a gay man to have hiv. You dont have to be a black african man or woman to have hiv. You can be anybody. And thats why its important to get tested, as you did. And now you live a happy, healthy, happy life because of it. I do, i do. Thank you. Youre a star. Her diagnosis wasnt easy. Shock, horror. Why me . Then, of course, the next thing was, how long have i actually had this for . When did i contract it . But she said she was saved, notjust by Gareth Thomas but by a loving husband who has remained hiv free. Listen, what do you make of your lovely wife speaking out about this . Lam lovely wife speaking out about this . I am really proud of her. If i had not have seen gareths programme, i wouldnt have been able to stand there when she told me and said, dont worry because i would probably have had that Old Fashioned view about things. You are both fa ntastically about things. You are both fantastically brave and brilliantly positive as well and that is such an important message. It is all about education. Education and compassion and a goal set by westminster to try and a goal set by westminster to try and bring transmissions down to zero by 2030. They say they will consider todays recommendations. There is some guff around at the minute but Video Conferencing video calls, bringing those two together, it is beautiful, isnt it . Thank you for talking to us in the way you did. I really important report. I am sure you enjoyed watching as well. Loads to come for you on bbc brea kfast. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. Im tolu adeoye. The nspcc has warned the pandemic has created a perfect storm for online offenders, with record numbers of child grooming. 1,200 cases were recorded by Police Across the uk during the april tojune lockdown period, 100 of them in london. Mared parry was only 1a when she was groomed, and has campaigned for tighter restrictions on social media. I started talking to a few older guys on facebook. Had a conversation with them. One thing led to another. It got more sinister without me even noticing. They were just asking for pictures and, you know, just asking me to talk dirty with them and say thats what girls mature girls their age would do. And i just wanted to match up to that. Workers at Heathrow Airport will strike today over pay and conditions. Members of unite which includes security staff and baggage handlers will walk out for 2a hours. A spokesperson for heathrow said the action was disappointing and that their focus has been to protect jobs. Cycle lanes on kensington high street will be removed weeks after they were introduced, following hundreds of complaints. Concerns were raised about congestion and the impact on busjourney times. The lanes were a trial. Its hoped their removal will attract shoppers back for the crucial Christmas Shopping period. One in four people have found pandemic restrictions harder to stick to in this lockdown. Thats according to new research by Kings College london. Colder weather, a feeling of being worn out and believing the restrictions are unfair, were some of the reasons given. The majority of people said they were careful about obeying the rules. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning, but the dlr has minor delays because of a signal failure at beckon. The overground is part suspended between Willesden Junction and richmond. Vauxhall bridge has fully reopened roadworks had been ongoing since august. At stamford hill, amhurst park is closed eastbound from Seven Sisters road because of a burst water main. Sidcup north cray road remains closed between bexley for repairs to repairs to the road. Now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello, good morning. Today marks the first day of the meteorological winter. And weve got the temperatures to match it as we head through the rest of the week. Its turning rather chilly. But today, a lovely day of weather. Plenty of sunshine. Largely frost free to start the morning. Perhaps a touch of localised frost out there. Theres quite a cool northerly wind blowing. That will tend to ease down as we head through the day. And lots of sunshine around. The sunshine turning hazy as we head into the afternoon. It will stay dry and the temperatures will peak at six to eight celsius, so already a drop there. 0vernight tonight, with lighter winds and lots of clear skies, we will see a widespread frost developing into tomorrow morning. Many of our temperatures dropping below freezing. A very chilly but bright start to the day. The cloud amounts will increase as we had through the day on wednesday. There will be some outbreaks of rain by the afternoon. Expect to see some more wet weather, and feeling even colder on thursday. Im back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. Now though, its back to sally and dan. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. Coming up on breakfast this morning. Seven marathons in seven days thats what rugby star Kevin Sinfield wants to do to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease for his friend rob burrow. Well be there to wave him off. Remember this moment last week . A robotic spacecraft blasted off to bring lunar rocks back to earth for the first time in a0 years. Well be getting the very latest, as it enters the final hours of its journey. And weve got a fantastic breakfast exclusive this morning, asjoe wicks joins us to reveal the first contender in the running for this years bbc Sports Personality of the yearm Sports Personality of the year award. So, as weve been reporting this morning, more than 55 Million People in england will enter the toughest tier1 and tier 2 restrictions from midnight, if mps approve the governments plans later. Does that make sense . It does. I think it should be tears two and tier 3. We will work it out for you. At the same time it looks like the promised mass testing for those in tier 3, will now be more targetted, Community Testing instead. Lets get more on those stories with dr fari ahmad, one of our regular breakfast gps. Good morning. Lovely to see you this morning. First of all, can you just give me your thoughts on the difference between mass testing and this more targeted Community Testing . If you could choose between the two options, what would you choose . So i think they both have their pros and cons. I think certainly when we saw what happened in liverpool, we could see the benefits of it. I think mass testing was open to anybody. People could just turn up and get a test, which was useful. Targeted testing picked on certain areas of the population they were trying to find out what they were trying to find out what the rate was. I think what was really useful about the testing as they found out they were people who had to covid before they had symptoms. So they could get them to self isolate. And then them spreading it. Ithink self isolate. And then them spreading it. I think the targeted testing would be really helpful when it works well with a test and Trace Service that works well as well. We know people are going to test, so we can find answers. If people know that, 0k, can find answers. If people know that, ok, i am can find answers. If people know that, 0k, iam having a can find answers. If people know that, ok, i am having a test, can find answers. If people know that, 0k, iam having a test, i dont have too self isolate for 20ai was, i will get my result, they are more willing to do it, rather than if they have a few days, they are less likely to agree to do things like that. We saw numbers in liverpool really come down after mass testing. Should that really be the way forward . Its a good question. I think it helped. People in liverpool found it helpful to know they could go and get the test. Also, i think it helped to stop the spread of the disease, certainly by picking up people who didnt know they had it. And when they found out they had it. And when they found out they did, they could self isolate. I think there was also a use of tests where youd get the result back fairly quickly if you are positive. These are all helpful, so people can understand exactly how much at risk they are, and then take the right action. We have seen some new research about the effects of what they call long covid. This research is it ona they call long covid. This research is it on a long small sample group. Suggesting there might be longer term damage to the lungs. Is that something that you are seeing in the patients that you have and how can you help people who are suffering from the longer term effects of having had coronavirus . Yeah. Long covid is something that has been identified and were certainly seeing the impact of it with some of our patients. Whats really interesting is they are not necessarily people who are so ill they have to go into hospital. They can be people who never got that unwell, they can manage at home. No weeks, even months later, they are still having really debilitating symptoms. So its affecting their energy levels, its affecting their ability to breathe, so they are struggling to exercise or do what they normally do. This is all new and were learning more about it. I think what was really interesting about this study is they looked at a small group of people and they looked at how the oxygen is getting through the lungs into the blood. They found that in these people who normal x rays havent shown any problems, because they could see there was a defect without the oxygen was getting through. I think they are planning on expanding it, so they can see a bigger group of people and see if this holds true. At least you know this is what is wrong with me. But it is just the start. We dont know if it means this damage is permanent or they will recover from those. It would also give us an idea of how to manage it. The usual treatments we would use for other long conditions, we can look at trying to put some of those in. It is a journey. We are still learning more about how to support people with it. I think its very ha rd support people with it. I think its very hard for people with long covid. But hopefully this will help to give some answers. Finally, i have to ask you about vaccines. We keep hearing that one of the vaccines is not too far away. How ready do you feel, how prepared are you in your own surgery to get that vaccine out into the community . At the moment we are very much in flu vaccine this season, arent we . Yes. At the moment were still struggling to get hold of the extra flu we need to get hold of the extra flu we need to vaccinate. This year the government said people under 50 would get the flu. We are trying to get hold of someone vaccine. I know lots of other practices are struggling to get hold of the extras. That is where we are. Then we have to prepare for the unknown ina way we have to prepare for the unknown in a way because the vaccines that are being suggested, theyre very different. The pfizer vaccine, you have five days to use it once you get it. The other one could last a bit longer. So we got to try to be ready for a lot of different things. While keeping the service running, dealing with winter pressures. Interesting perhaps is a polite way to describe it i know what youre saying. Thank you very much. Great to talk to you. Good morning you are watching breakfast from the bbc. Normally at this time of the year we get the third round draw for the fa cup. Quite a few Non League Clubs in the draw. Marine, the lowest ranked tea m the draw. Marine, the lowest ranked team in the competition got a beauty, didnt they . I think we all got what we wanted, didnt we . What a night it was for all four Non League Clubs that are left in the fa cup. Theyve all got glamour third round ties to look forward to none more so than Merseyside Club marine, wholl be coming up againstjose mourinhos tottenham. The Northern Premier League side booked their place in the draw after a dramatic 120th minute winner against havant and waterlooville. And its fair to say theyre excited about the prospect of facing the premier League Leaders. We just plan as best we can. You know, usually with joses teams, he puts a pretty strong team out in every competition, through chelsea, through tottenham, wherever hes been manchester united. So its a great tie for us. As i said earlier, its a remarkable achievement to win seven cup games to get here. And this is the reward for the Football Club. Meanwhile, this is how chorley, of the National League north, booked their place in the third round for the first time. Peterborough united, and wigan are the teams theyve knocked out. If you dont recognise them from these pictures, perhaps youll remember the team from this. Someone like you. Someone like you. I want nothing but the best for you. Thats right theyre the team that sing adele in the dressing room after a win. And their reward for knocking out two League One Club so far, is a home match against Wayne Rooneys derby county. Like all Non League Clubs, you know, weve struggled this year with whats going on. Weve had a bit of money coming through, a little bit of a grant. But this fa cup run really is keeping us afloat. You can go out and enjoy it, but when you look at where i think derby are bottom of the championship, so i dont think that theyd really quite fancy it. Weve just beaten peterborough, who are top. You know, weve got a chance. May be a dell will turn up to watch. Maybe adele. A couple of other ties to look forward to. National league club stockport, who are in the third round for the first time in13 years, will be home to premier league opposition in west ham. And fellow National League club boreham wood booked their place in round three last night, with a 3 0 win at Canvey Island of the Isthmian League North Division thats three steps below them in the non league pyramid. Theyll be at home against millwall in the next round. In the premier league, fulham moved out of the relegation zone after a surprise win at leicester, who were aiming to go joint top. They went to king power stadium with just four points from their first nine games, but Ivan Cavaleiro sealed a 2 1 win from the spot. Fulham had missed their last three penalties so a relief for Scott Parkers side. West ham are up to fifth in the table, after holding on to beat aston villa 2 1 at the london stadium. Jarrod bowen scoring what proved to be the winner 28 seconds into the second half. In rugby unions pro 1a, ulster made it eight wins out of eight with a comfortable a3 1a win over edinburgh. That moves them into top spot, above leinster, in conference a. John cooney getting a couple of tries for the away side. Elsewhere, munster thrashed zebre 52 3 in conference b. And world number one judd trump is through to the last 16 of the uk snooker championship. He was far from his best, but came through to beat liang wenbo by six frames to one in milton keynes.

We will see what he makes of the tie against tottenham. Thank you. Englands chief inspector of schools says the lack of monitoring and support of Vulnerable Children during the pandemic, should be a matter of national concern. In her annual report, Amanda Spielman warns of a legacy of neglect of children who became invisible to services when they were not at school. Shejoins us now. Thank you very much for being with us. We mentioned at the headline quote there. Can you give us more information about how you feel this pandemic in the last few months has affected children particularly . Yes, of course. 0ur affected children particularly . Yes, of course. Our main message today is about the near invisibility of many of the neediest children, children with special educational needs, physical, mental, behavioural, children in care, children known to social services. Despite often huge effo rts social services. Despite often huge efforts by schools and social care. Theyve lost so many services, speech and Language Therapy and many others, theyve lost so much education, and because they are not at school, theyve lost the eyes that can spot problems, worsening problems. Very few of these neediest children attended school in the first lockdown, even though schools we re first lockdown, even though schools were open. Social care referrals dropped. They are rising now but still lower than normal. Many children are still not attending school, and particularly among these children with greatest needs. It really is important that schools, nurseries, every agency works together to help make sure these children get what they need. Is anyone actually to blame, or is it a case of this is what the past few months are produced and its not a case of pointing fingers . months are produced and its not a case of pointing fingers . I dont think pointing fingers is helpful. It is showing how much of a disruption like this that takes children out of the places where they are where there are eyes to see them and ears to hear them, when the tell people whats going on. Its about how we bring things back together, how we help get children backin together, how we help get children back in school. Children should be in school and arent in school. It is difficult at the moment. I know schools are really going through a great deal of difficulty getting children into school and keeping them. Nevertheless, its an absolute priority. Lots of kids obviously off maybe even today because of isolating because of cases and concerns at various schools all over the uk, arent there . What about the long term impact of this . How long do you think it might take to recover some of the issues that have happened, particularly in 2020 . First of all, youre right, attendance is dropping. It is worryingly low for all children, but particularly for these needy children, its particularly for these needy children, its lower still. We dont fully understand why the children who most need to be in school are least likely to be there. Thats something everybody should be concerned about. In terms of the long term effect, its still too early to say for most. We do know the good news is that for most children getting back into school, getting back into normal life, good teaching, home life, back into normal routines, will deal with most of the problems that may have built up. But there is a smaller proportion who desperately need that help. And we dont how long it will take. There could be long term harm to many of these. Give us a bit more information on that, the lack of access to that Additional Support and the health care that goes along with it as well . 0bviously all sorts of services have been affected during the year. Is that your particular area of concern, that the lack of care that has been there and how long it will take to repair that . It is. Perhaps take the example of children with special educational needs. So many of those early services, speech and Language Therapy, for example, if you dont have the help early on, if you struggle to learn to speak and hear, then you go back into school, its a real struggle for you. You are more likely to come adrift in school. Youre more likely to do well. That is more likely to compound into behavioural problems down the line because if you cant cope with school. Its about those early interventions that help get children and keep them where they need to be. The loss of that could have some really serious consequences for childrens lives. Something else our viewers will be interested in, there are reports gcse exams will be marked easier next year, it might even allow pupils to take the textbooks in because of what has happened in recent months. Would you welcome that the change . happened in recent months. Would you welcome that the change . I work in whatever we can do to give every student a fair shot at assuring what they are really capable of. I do think its important that we keep that structure that children have been working to for so many years, that they have the chance to prove themselves in exams, but they also need to know that they will be fairly treated, they will have best shot and the places they go next year will understand what they need coming out of this. 0k, thank you very much for your time this morning. Good to talk to you. We spoke to carol briefly a moment ago. She said it is going to get a chillier. She will tell us all about it now. Good morning. Good morning. A chilly start to the day for some of us. You can see across central and eastern areas temperatures are just above or below freezing. Move out to the west or Northern Ireland, the isles of scilly, temperatures a little bit higher. We have more cloud and Western Areas courtesy of this weather front which, through the course of the day, will continue its journey, taking its cloud and patchy drizzle heading eastwards. We have got a clear skies in central and eastern areas. We start with some sunshine. Down the north sea coastline a brisk wind blowing in some showers. They will ease through the day. You can see the progress the day. You can see the progress the cloud is making from the west to the cloud is making from the west to the east. We hang on to the sunshine for the longest to grow some parts of the midlands, east anglia and the south east. At times we could see some brightness around the moray firth and aberdeenshire. These are our temperatures. Eight to 10 degrees. This evening and overnight that cloud getting to the far south east. A new weatherfront comes in introducing a narrow band of rain. I have that there would be afair bit of rain. I have that there would be a fair bit of cloud behind it some blustery showers. Some of those wintry. We could see some pockets of frost across parts of the south east. What is going to happen tomorrow is, as this weather front, its a cold front, six south, you could see how it is squeezing the milderair could see how it is squeezing the milder air represented by the yellows a nd milder air represented by the yellows and colder air follows behind. Here is the weather front with its patchy rain, continuing with its patchy rain, continuing with the cloud ahead of it, moving towards the south east. Brighter skies, sunshine and showers. Some of those showers will be wintry. Because its colder the snow level will come down. It will be down to about 300 metres and part of the highlands. That called for it eventually does clear away. No pressure then drives our weather. We have got fronts coming in from the south west introducing rain. Because it is colder again we will see some snow showers. 0n it is colder again we will see some snow showers. On thursday here is the rain that would be heaviest across parts of the south west and the english channel. Move north of that there will be some cloud and showers, some of them wintry. Wintry across scotland. 150 metres to about 200 metres. 200 metres we could see some wintriness in wales. And about a00 metres in North West Wales and also keep pennines. I made Northern Ireland, of course, when i said that, down to about 200 metres. 0nly 2 degrees in aberdeen, eight in st helier. As we head into friday we will see some further snow showers. Most of this will be in the hills, but in some of the heavier bursts we could see some lower levels, and we could see some lower levels, and we could see some sleet, depending on how quickly this weather front moves from the west towards the east. I will keep you updated. We shall be paying close attention. Thank you, carol. More snow. It could impact on the fellow we are about to talk about. His story of living with Motor Neurone Disease is one weve been following closely here on breakfast. And now, one of rob burrows former team mates is beginning an Epic Challenge this morning, in support of his friend. I cant believe what he is doing. Former leeds rhinos star Kevin Sinfield is aiming to run seven marathons in seven days. Good morning, kevin. How are you . Good morning, kevin. How are you . Good morning. Im very well, thank you. Its freezing here though you look well wrapped up, care of yeah, were all wrapped up. We are really looking forward to it. There is a slight delay on the line. Give us an idea of how you prepared for this . Its a huge challenge, isnt it . Yeah. Im really looking forward to it. We have got a Wonderful Team together. I do feel like i have winged it a little bit. There was no set plan for doing Something Like this. I do run a fair bit. Yeah, im really looking forward to it. A famous female athlete said to me last week that running is in the mind not in the legs. Didnt you, sally . i cant believe you told people that i did. I was passing on some advice. I can remember sitting there chatting to kevin thinking, why am there chatting to kevin thinking, whyami there chatting to kevin thinking, why am i talking to Kevin Sinfield about running, trying to tell in the right way to do it . You know what you are doing. You have run so many marathons already this year. You are doing it for one reason, for your mate rob. Why is he so special . Well, i think its been well documented, everything you guys have done has been wonderful. The film you did, sally, was outstanding. Rob got diagnosed 11 months ago. His former team mates have pulled together and tried to keep him at the forefront of everything this year throughout some really difficult times for everybody. Mnd is such a cruel disease. If we can raise some awareness and some funds that change peoples lives, so when they face the challenge its easier and better for they face the challenge its easier and betterfor them. They face the challenge its easier and better for them. For they face the challenge its easier and betterfor them. For rob, they face the challenge its easier and betterforthem. For rob, he means a great deal to all of us. We love playing alongside. It is a Wonderful Team mate and friend. Hopefully we can do it in the next seven days. Im sure hell be laughing watching us in the freezing cold but we will do our best. You have not even put the first step down yet and you have already raised £a0,000. The level of support, the level of interest in what you are doing and the number of people who wa nt to doing and the number of people who want to help rob and others is quite incredible, isnt it . Yeah, its wonderful. I think we realise what the world is going through at this moment in time with covid and have the support for rob ever since his diagnosis has been completely overwhelming. Everybody of the club, the leeds rhinos, has been fantastic, and the wider rugby league support has been outstanding. Then because of the support you guys have given, it is across the uk now. Theres loads of support coming in from countries around the world. Ive got to mention my good weight made doddie weir, who has been wonderful in supporting rob and his family. He is inspiring. We are trying to raise 707 doddie weir said he was going to donate 77p, so thanks for that i love doddie i know you have heard this before. What rob did it send you a message wishing you luck. I want to play it again now so that we can all, everybody at home, can hear what he said to you as you prepare to set off this morning. Ijust want i just want to ijust want to wish kevin a massive good luck for his crazy challenge. He must be mad. From day one he has always been a role model to me and someone i have held in the highest regard, as ive said many times to you, mate. I hope you know regard, as ive said many times to you, mate. I hope you know i do the same for you. It means everything to me. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I know you have heard that before, but when i originally played that year that wasnt the message you we re year that wasnt the message you were expecting from rob. Just explain to everyone at home what you thought he might say to you . Yeah. I think you are trying to make me cry again this morning, arent you . as soon as rob got diagnosed, we shared a long carjourney to see doddie and scotland. Im part of thatjourney we talked about having to record your voice on the phone. There was one line in particular that he said would be ready to be priced at any minute and it is from toy story. And its when woody gets his stomach pulled by the string, theres a snake in my boots. I was hoping when you play that message it was going to be like that. Kevin, what is going to keep you going in the next few days . Is it think about your friendship with rob, the cause, who you are raising money for . How will you are raising money for . How will you mentally approach it . Yeah, i think youve nailed it. All those things. The special times with ad, funny moments. You made me laugh every single day. It makes me laugh now when i see him every single day. Those special times, a sparkle in his eye. I got a lovely message from him and the kids last night. We got a Wonderful Team. Thats a great thing about the next seven days, im backin thing about the next seven days, im back in the team, back with some people with whom we have a common goal, to raise funds and awareness for our good mate and mnd. We will have a laugh. There will be some camaraderie. We will give it our best shot. We will be following you all along the way. I know in these weird times lots of people cant chew you one as im sure they would wa nt chew you one as im sure they would want to. We will make sure we follow you and update our viewers along the way. We wish you the very best. Best of luck. Thank you very much. Thank you. He is a top man, isnt he . Super Kevin Sinfield. He is about to set off. Im sure that advice from you will be helpful. Its all in the mind. Someone told me once . We will keep you updated on that. Incredible they have already raised £a0,000. Really good job. I wonder where they will get to by the seven days . Time for the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. Im tolu adeoye. The nspcc has warned the pandemic has created a perfect storm for online offenders with record numbers of child grooming. 1,200 cases were logged by Police Across the uk during the first lockdown period. 100 of them in london. Mared parry was only 1a when she was groomed and has campaigned for better checks on social media. I started talking to a few older guys on facebook. Had a conversation with them. One thing led to another. It got more sinister without me even noticing. They were just asking for pictures and, you know, just asking me to talk dirty with them and say thats what girls mature girls their age would do. And i just wanted to match up to that. Sadiq khan is urging europeans in london to ensure theyve applied for the settlement scheme before christmas. The mayor is concerned that european citizens may otherwise face discrimination if landlords and employers dont understand their continuing rights in the uk once tougher immigration rules into force from january. Cycle lanes on kensington high street will be removed weeks after they were introduced following hundreds of complaints. Concerns were raised about congestion and the impact on busjourney times. The lanes were a trial its hoped their removal will tempt shoppers back. One in four people have found pandemic restrictions harder to stick to in this lockdown. Thats according to new research by Kings College london. Colder weather, a feeling of being worn out and believing the restrictions are unfair were some of the reasons given. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are severe delays on the dlr between bank and woolwich arsenal and lewisham. The metropolitan line is part suspended rickmansworth to amersham chesham. The overground is part suspended between Willesden Junction and richmond.

And weve got the temperatures to match it as we head through the rest of the week. Its turning rather chilly. But today, a lovely day of weather. Plenty of sunshine. Largely frost free to start the morning. Perhaps a touch of localised frost out there. Theres quite a cool northerly wind blowing. That will tend to ease down as we head through the day. And lots of sunshine around. The sunshine turning hazy as we head into the afternoon. It will stay dry and the temperatures will peak at six to eight celsius, so already a drop there. 0vernight tonight, with lighter winds and lots of clear skies, we will see a widespread frost developing into tomorrow morning. Many of our temperatures dropping below freezing. A very chilly but bright start to the day. The cloud amounts will increase as we head through the day on wednesday. There will be some outbreaks of rain by the afternoon. Expect to see some more wet weather, and feeling even colder on thursday. Im back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour.

More jobs at risk on the high street as arcadias Administration Leads to more trouble at debenhams. In the next few moments, we expect to know whetherjd sports has pulled out of its debenhams rescue deal. That puts 12,000 jobs on the line, while 13,000 arcadia workers hope someone will step forward to save brands like topshop, wallis, burton and miss selfridge. Despite some opposition, mps are set to vote through the new covid tiers system. The Health Secretary says the National Lockdown has worked. Through everything that people have sacrificed, weve reduced pressures on the nhs, weve brought down the number of coronavirus cases, weve got this virus back under control. Running for rob.

This is where we will see sunshine but it is chilly. In the west, figure clad producing drizzle which will move east during the day. Plywood. More details in ten minutes. Its tuesday, the 1st of december. Our top story. The British Retail Group, arcadia, which owns some of the uks best known clothing brands, has gone into administration, putting 13,000 jobs at risk. Arcadias collapse also appears to have scuppered a rescue deal for debenhams, which could push the Department Store to the brink of liquidation. Ninas got the latest on this. We arejust we are just waiting for the very latest on that. The high street empire, owned by the controversial businessmean sir philip green went in to Administration Last night. We talked yesterday about how that makes 13,000 jobs vulnerable across their brands like topshop, burton, evans and wallis. Think of your local debenhams. These are brands which take up big spaces in the Department Store. Debenhams had been in dire straits desperate for a buyer and until last week it looked like jd sports were closing in on that deal. This morning we wait to hear whether or notjd sports had decided to pull out of that deal. That is the expectation. The arcadia collapse is thought to be a majorfactor in spooking jd sports but what it means is that 12,000 jobs across 12a stores are now at risk. Thats on top of the 6,500 jobs theyve already cut since may. It would bring to an end a 2a2 year presence on the high street. We are waiting to find out confirmation from jd sports about whether they are going to go ahead with the rescue deal. Is there any hope for the arcadia brands . Those managing the collapse say they are rapidly seeking expressions of interest and expect to identify one or more buyers to ensure the future success of the businesses. No update just yet but we will let you know as soon as we have it. Mps will vote later on whether a new, stricter, three tier system of controls to contain coronavirus should be imposed in england. Boris johnson is facing opposition from many conservative mps who are against the plans, but labour will abstain in the vote, meaning the plans are likely to pass. Heres our political correspondent, jonathan blake. When lockdown lifts in england tomorrow, a new set of rules is due to come into force, an enhanced three tier system which ministers insist is needed to keep coronavirus under control. Through everything that people have sacrificed weve reduced the pressures on the nhs, weve brought down the number of coronavirus cases, weve got this virus back under control. Last night, the government published a document supporting its approach. But many conservative mps who were not convinced, still dont believe a tighter tiered system is right. What it is, is a rehash of a lot of the information that was published in the 0br report on the 25th of november. But very little, if anything, around what consequence of these different tiers will be. Labour have concerns too, but say opposing the plans would not be in the national interest. So theyll neither vote for or against, but abstain, meaning the new measures are likely to pass. Plotting a path through the pandemic has meant difficult decisions at every turn. There may be hope of easier times ahead, but england is about to enter a new phase and nobody can say the near future is clear. Jonathan blake, bbc news. Lets go to downing street and talk to chris mason. Any clarity . There is a bit. This will pass. As for lives in england, these three tiers will kick in tomorrow but there will be a bad blast fair blast of political noise before that. The debate will run from lunchtime probably until early evening. Quite a few Political Parties are taking themselves off the pitch, including the labour party, he will abstain. They say it would be irresponsible to vote the measure stand that they do not want to endorse them because they are uncertain about them. Quite a lot do not like it that there will still be more who do you like it and therefore there will be a majority for it. Some of those who are not keen on making their views known very clearly and politically that is awkward for the Prime Minister, not because he will lose today but because he will lose today but because there will be other flashpoints along the way as we hopefully get out of the other end of this pandemic. The government has promised to come back in a couple of weeks to potentially tweak the tiers and there will be another vote at the end of january. And there will be another vote at the end ofjanuary. Given restlessness on the backbenches, that will cause nervousness behind the back door. I think we have some clarity. And injust about half an hour, well talk more on tiers and testing 0n the front page of the paper, no jab, you are barred, says the front page of the daily mail. May turn customers away if they have not had a coronavirus jab. Englands chief inspector of schools says the lack of monitoring and support of Vulnerable Children during the pandemic should be a matter of national concern. In her annual report, Amanda Spielman warns of a legacy of neglect of children who became invisible to services when they were not at school. The department for education says the safety and wellbeing of Vulnerable Children is their focus, and they have programmes in place to help schools and colleges deal with pressures of the pandemic. Now, theres a bit of good news on Climate Change. Scientists say new International Commitments mean global temperature rises could be limited to 2. 1 degrees by the end of the century. The us president elect, joe biden, has announced plans for 100 clean energy and china says it will achieve net zero Carbon Emissions by 2060. Our environment correspondent matt mcgrath reports. From the uks wettest february on record to raging wildfires in california. The fingerprints of Climate Change linked to human activities have become increasingly clear this year. But efforts to curb greenhouse gases, the root cause of global warming, has so far had limited impact. When countries signed the paris climate agreement in 2015, they undertook to limit the rise in temperatures to well below 2 celsius this century. When scientists added up all the pledges made to cut carbon, they amounted to around three degrees of warming by 2100, with potentially disastrous consequences for the planet. However, the last three months have seen some significant changes. China surprised the world by announcing at the un they would aim for net zero Carbon Emissions by 2060, while president elect joe biden has promised the us will achieve the same goal ten years earlier. Taken together, these steps would limit warming to 2. 1 degrees, much closer to the paris goal. The scientists, who have carried out this analysis, say its a significant step. You can argue about the exact figures but the trend is very clear, we are moving in the right direction, and we can clearly see that more and more countries are taking it seriously and put very serious targets on the table. Researchers say there are still many difficulties, particularly the absence of short term plans from governments that reflect their long term promises. But, after many years of bad news, this new forecast suggests that the efforts to tackle Climate Change are beginning to bearfruit. Matt mcgrath, bbc news. A robotic spacecraft is expected to land on the moon in just a few hours, with the aim of bringing back rock samples to earth. The Chinese Mission hopes to pick up about two kilos of grit and dust. Its been more than than a0 years since lunar surface materials were last brought back to earth and china could become only the third country to achieve this feat. Did you know the moon last night we re very did you know the moon last night were very bright, was known as a frost moon or after what we were talking about yesterday on the programme, the beether moon. Two days of beaver news beaver moon. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. This week will turn colder and become more unsettled. More of us will see rain and some of us will see some snow. Most of that will be on higher ground. See some snow. Most of that will be on higherground. In see some snow. Most of that will be on higher ground. In the heavier bursts you can see it at sea level. We do have clear skies to start with. Their winter woollies along the north sea coast and the cloud will fade. Patchy in the west. The wind will ease. At times we will see some sunshine in aberdeenshire. Temperatures ranging from six to 10 degrees. This evening and overnight, the cloud will eventually get into the cloud will eventually get into the south east. Where there are holes in the cloud because see some frost. The next active weather front comes in across the north west. Behind that blustery showers, went three down to about 500 metres or so. The weather front will sink south with all the cloud ahead of it. Behind it sunshine and showers but blustery showers with gales blustering at 50 miles an hour in the north west of scotland. Some of the north west of scotland. Some of the showers will be wintry in the highlands. Because it will be cold at the snow level will come down to about 300 metres. We need to get out there measuring. Thank you for that. Non essential shops may be reopening in england from tomorrow, butjust how much trade will they have to do to make up for their losses since lockdown . Usually at this time of, year the city of bath is brimming with tourists. So what does the lack of visitors mean for local businesses . Fiona lamdin has been finding out. Pulteney bridge spans the river avon. Last christmas it helped pull in hundreds of thousands of visitors. But footfall is down in bath by around 70 . Here, independent shops stretch along the entire length of the bridge but this year they are all empty. Vivs been a florist for 36 years. Shes got to make a0 of these wreaths this before tomorrow. Nothing in our history has prepared us for anything like this. To be in business at this period of history is very,. The second lockdown was actually pretty bad because suddenly everyones confidence had gone again, so we are just hopeful that that confidence will come back because it is such a crucial time for retailers now because we are virtually on christmas now. David has run a hair salon here for a decade. He is already fully booked till christmas. The last month has been absolutely dire for us. Four weeks buildup to christmas, weve completely lost that. Thats15 of our turnover, our annual turnover, weve lost, so weve got that to make up in three weeks. But with the government relaxing rules to allow shops to stay open for longer, david will be working around the clock. When we come back, were going to be open 12 hours a day, six days a week. Weve got people working extra hours by coming in on days off, working through their breaks, making sure that every second counts. Dannys Italian Restaurant has been shut, so theyve had to dip into savings but theyre now desperate to crack on with their christmas menu. It is going to be a very different christmas, absolutely, but we hope to break even. Normally we would have at christmas over 200 customers. We dropped pretty much a0 . Mary runs the handmade childrens clothes shop. She was worried about shifting summer stock. Now shes panicking shell be left with the winter collection, too. This second lockdown has felt much more unfair. A lot of shops are still open, like the garden centres, marks and spencers. It just hasnt felt fair to the independents really. How catastrophic has the second lockdown been for you . Bath is a big tourist city and there are no tourists. Unlike the others, this woman is new to the street. She only opened her patisserie four days before the second lockdown. I think, as a business, opening during lockdown without anyone knowing us opening is the worst it can be. The longer we are staying here, our business is going to get stronger. With just 2a hours to go, this street are banking on their doors remaining open this time. Fiona lamdin, bbc news. The labour leader, sir keir starmer, says his mps will abstain when the governments tiered coronavirus restrictions for england come before the commons later. It means despite opposition from many on the conservative backbenches, the measures are expected to pass. Werejoined now by the labour mp lucy powell, whos also the shadow business minister. Good morning to you. Will you be abstaining today . Yes, that is what we will be doing today. These decisions are always difficult but we recognise and support the need for additional restrictions and if this vote got rejected today, come midnight tonight there will be no restrictions on the statute books for anybody. But we do have some residual concerns about the nature of the restrictions but particularly about the business support package thatis about the business support package that is sitting alongside them. We are worried that without some additional business support we are going to see waves and waves are businesses going bust over the coming weeks, especially those in hospitality and their supply chains and other sectors like weddings and events that have been closed for months now without any Additional Support. If you are concerned about business support, why not vote against . As i say, if we voted against, given the conservative party rallying its own mps to vote in favour of it well fall and that would mean at midnight tonight, there will be no framework and no restrictions at all and that would just be an irresponsible thing to lets see happen especially as we are ata lets see happen especially as we are at a very critical point in dealing with this pandemic. The National Lockdown has had some positive effects on infection rates and hospitalisations and so on are now is the wrong point to let things rip and not have any restrictions at all. We support restrictions but we need to see a lot more business support coming in and we hope the Prime Minister will address this today when he addresses parliament. Sir keir starmer has said he supports the need for restrictions. The line as you support restrictions and in practical terms that is what you agree with. By abstaining, are you agree with. By abstaining, are you not just playing you agree with. By abstaining, are you notjust playing a political game at this point . Not at all. We have pretty consistently abstained on these issues actually as a way of allowing them to go through. Do not forget, the conservatives have a good majority said they should not be relying on our beds. When the tiered system is brought in last time around, we abstain then. We have consistently abstained on Public Health measures. Mainly because of the inadequate and unfair nature of business support that is coming in. We want the government to focus on supporting jobs, supporting those ailing businesses which have had months and months and months of lost trade and living under restrictions just at a time of year when many of them get extra trade coming in because of christmas and they are now on their knees. The government does need to come forward with that. As shadow business minister, you are calling a more support for businesses, particularly in tier 3. How much would that cost and how a defender . Businesses in tier 3 are not getting any more than businesses in tier this additional restrictions grant. That cannot be right, can it . A place in lancaster or greater manchester, these authorities have the same amount of money to support businesses as cornwall and the isle of wight. That cannot be right. There is also a problem with the way it is being distributed. Those most in need of getting the same as the wealthiest parts of the country. We must support businesses because if we do not we will see businesses going bust, we will see people being made unemployed and that will cost the taxpayer a lot more in the long run. As with the virus where we are saying now is the wrong moment to let go of the games we have made, we have supported businesses and employees over the last few months. Now would be the wrong time to pull the support away and let them go bust. How much will that cost and how would the labour party pay for it . The government has already reduced what it is supporting businesses by by £9 billion recently. They were supposed to give businesses a cash injection of £9 billion in january through businesses a cash injection of £9 billion injanuary through the job support scheme, which they have now pulled back. If you are looking at supporting businesses with extra cash grants to this very difficult time, it is not a huge amount of money in the grand scheme of things. It depends what scheme you look at. We do not have a specific proposal. We do not have a specific proposal. We are looking at in the millions per month, not the billions or anything like that. Given what we have already put in to support businesses and jobs, now would be the wrong point. Many of these businesses have enjoyed the fellow, had taken out loans, have taken out vat deferrals, so, if they go bust that would cost more in lost tax returns and the loans being paid back and so on, so it is the right thing to do to put in more business support and it is also morally the right thing to do. These businesses are viable, trading well before the pandemic hit and are being asked to close in order to protect Public Health. The government should be stepping in to support that. Talking about businesses hit by the pandemic. Lets talk about the Arcadia Group. Employees facing a very uncertain future. What can be done to support them and how that business . An incredibly worrying time for the 13,000 people working for arcadia and potentially those working for devon ends as well and the knock on. It is clear the problems in that company and with parts of the Retail Sector have been catalysed and made worse by this pandemic. I hope the administrators do all they can to protect those jobs and find buyers for that company, or parts of that company. What we are calling for as well is that philip green really does the right thing by the deficit in the pension pot and uses some of his own personal wealth, wealth he has from that company for many years to plug the gap in the pension deficit. You are suggesting philip green pays the difference . He needs to look at that closely. It galls all of us to see businessmen like philip green on his luxury yacht in monaco, just as 13,000 workers are now worried about theirjobs and their futures just ahead of christmas and are looking ata ahead of christmas and are looking at a black hole in their pension pot that they have all contributed to as employees. I think he should do the right thing. He has a significant personal wealth of his own, which he has created off the backs of these companies and he should really do the right thing and stepping. Just to bring you some breaking news. Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has tested positive for covid 19. He will miss this weekends grand prix in bahrain after that positive test. You will know weeks ago he was already announced as World Champion again for another season, tying with Michael Schumacher on seven but he will miss the next grand prix because of this positive test. We had that big interview with him over a week ago when he described his life at the moment, which is basically in his bubble, travelling, getting tested, racing, travelling, in his bubble, getting tested.

Good morning from bbc london, im tolu adeoye. The nspcc has warned the pandemic has created a perfect storm for online offenders with record numbers of child grooming. 1,200 cases were logged by Police Across the uk during the first lockdown period, 100 of them in london. Mared parry was only 1a when she was groomed and has campaigned for better checks on social media. I started talking to a few older guys on facebook. Had a conversation with them. One thing led to another. It got more sinister without me even noticing. They were just asking for pictures and, you know, just asking me to talk dirty with them and say thats what girls mature girls their age would do. And i just wanted to match up to that. Workers at Heathrow Airport will strike today over pay and conditions. Members of unite, which includes security staff and baggage handlers, will walk out for 2a hours. A spokesperson for heathrow said the action was disappointing, and that their focus has been to protect jobs. Cycle lanes on kensington high street will be removed weeks after they were introduced, following hundreds of complaints. Concerns were raised about congestion and the impact on busjourney times. The lanes were a trial. Its hoped their removal will tempt shoppers back. One in four people have found pandemic restrictions harder to stick to in this lockdown. Thats according to new research by Kings College london. Colder weather, a feeling of being worn out and believing the restrictions are unfair, were some of the reasons given. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Lots of issues on the underground. There are severe delays on the dlr between bank and woolwich arsenal and lewisham. 0n the metropolitan line theres no service between rickmansworth and amersham and chesham. Finally, the overg round is part suspended between Willesden Junction and richmond. 0n the roads, good news Vauxhall Bridge has fully reopened. Roadworks had been ongoing since august. Elsewhere, edgeware road is slow approaching the marlybone flyover because of emergency repairs. North cray road remains closed between sidcup and bexley for repairs to the road. Now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello, good morning. Today marks the first day of the meteorological winter. And weve got the temperatures to match it as we head through the rest of the week. Its turning rather chilly. But today, a lovely day of weather. Plenty of sunshine. Largely frost free to start the morning. Perhaps a touch of localised frost out there. Theres quite a cool northerly wind blowing. That will tend to ease down as we head through the day. And lots of sunshine around. The sunshine turning hazy as we head into the afternoon. It will stay dry and the temperatures will peak at six to eight celsius, so already a drop there. 0vernight tonight, with lighter winds and lots of clear skies, we will see a widespread frost developing into tomorrow morning. Many of our temperatures dropping below freezing. A very chilly but bright start to the day. The cloud amounts will increase as we had through the day on wednesday. There will be some outbreaks of rain by the afternoon. Expect to see some more wet weather, and feeling even colder on thursday. Im back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. Now though its back to sally and dan. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. The retail group arcadia, which owns topshop, burton and Dorothy Perkins, has gone into administration, putting 13,000 jobs at risk. Its collapse is also expected to have an impact on debenhams, with potential buyerjd sports considering backing out of a rescue deal, pushing the Department Store to the brink of liquidation. Mps will vote later on whether a new, stricter, three tier system of controls to contain coronavirus should be imposed in england. The Prime Minister is facing opposition from many conservative mps who are against the plans, but labour will abstain in the vote meaning theyre likely to pass. Ministers are insisting the enhanced system is necessary. Through everything that people have sacrificed, weve reduced pressures on the nhs, we brought down the number of coronavirus cases, weve got this virus back under control. We arejoined now got this virus back under control. We are joined now by the cabinet 0ffice minister at michael gove live on breakfast. Good morning, good to talk to you, as ever. Lots to get through. Can we start by asking you, i know you are keen to talk about the future of our relationship with the future of our relationship with the european union, so can i start there . That vote was more than four yea rs there . That vote was more than four years ago. We are a month away. I notice you are encouraging british businesses to be ready for anything. Can you appreciate how this morning there might be thinking, im not sure how i can be ready for anything when we are not sure what that final deal will look like at the moment . Yeah, totally. Ithink deal will look like at the moment . Yeah, totally. I think its important to stress that whether or not we get a Free Trade Agreement with the european union, we are definitely leaving the Single Market and the customs market. Customs union. A lot of what businesses need to do is the same whether we get a Free Trade Agreement or not. Nobody is more keen than i am to see this negotiating process conclude. But nevertheless, there are a lot of things that businesses have done and can do on whats called a no regrets basis. There is no harm in doing these things because they will be necessary , these things because they will be necessary, what may. How do you respond to those who might be watching this morning thinking, however we got to this point, we have had yea rs however we got to this point, we have had years to try to organise how this looks like, and there seems to bea how this looks like, and there seems to be a last minute panic to try to make it as good as it can be . think weve managed to do quite a lot. Business has managed to do quite a lot, i should say. I think our major supermarket chains and many of our retailers, lots of manufacturers, financial services, are ready. But we want to make sure the government is there because businesses have had a lot to cope with this year. We are just making sure that in the final run up that the businesses have everything they needin the businesses have everything they need in order to prepare. And we recognise that for businesses that have had a difficult year, the government needs to be there for them and we need to do more to support them. Something else i think businesses are talking about this morning, and lots of our viewers, is a story on the front pages of lots of papers. This is based on quotes from the business secretary, Nadhim Zahawi, talking from the business secretary, nadhim za hawi, talking about from the business secretary, Nadhim Zahawi, talking about whether a job it will be required to get into places like sporting venues, pubs, cinemas, things like that. Will there be a covid passport for those who have had the vaccine . Lets not get ahead of ourselves. That is not the plan. We want to make sure that we get vaccines effectively rolled out. There are three vaccines, as we know, that are going through test at the moment to make sure they are safe and we can provide people with a shot in the arm required in order to liberate them from some of the fears the virus inevitably generates about our health and welfare. Of course, individual businesses have the capacity to make decisions about who they will admit and why. But what we should be doing at this stage is concentrating on making sure the vaccine is rolled out. My colleague, Nadhim Zahawi, is a brilliant minister. That is why he has been put in charge of the programme are making sure as many people are vaccinated as possible. Yes, but how would that practically work . How would you know if someone has had the vaccine or not . That is what nadhim za hawi has had the vaccine or not . That is what Nadhim Zahawi was talking about yesterday. The quote was, this is something you are looking at. Are you looking at it . We are looking at the principle of making sure we can get people vaccinated. It is important to make sure that people ta ke two important to make sure that people take two vaccine doses. That means we need to have an effective system of ensuring that when someone gets the first shot in the arm, they returned at an appropriate point for the second one. That is the big logistics exercise. That is where our focus is. Its a really interesting argument, the whole volu nta ry interesting argument, the whole voluntary nature of this, because you could find a situation where those who have not had it are actually severely restricted in what they can do . Well, again i think we should concentrate in the first insta nce should concentrate in the first instance on making sure that the vaccine is there, making sure that people can have access to it. And i think that most people, the overwhelming majority, will want to ta ke overwhelming majority, will want to take the vaccine, notjust in order to make sure that theyre protected against the disease, but also that they are protecting others as well. Ifa pub they are protecting others as well. If a pub was to say, you are not coming in unless you have had the vaccine, would you support that . Again, ithink vaccine, would you support that . Again, i think the more important things to concentrate on making sure that people are vaccinated in the first place. Im not trying to make an awkward situation. I imagine this is what people at home i thinking this morning. They have been reading this morning. They have been reading this headline. Its not pie the sky. It has come from one of your cabinet colleagues. And this is something which practically, i would imagine, pubs are thinking about this morning and many of our viewers i would imagine, pubs are thinking about this morning and many of our viewers i will tell you exactly what my thoughts are. It is up to any individual pub, licensee, to decide who they will admit. Im not sure thatis who they will admit. Im not sure that is what people are concerned about. I think what people are concerned about this morning is making sure that we are managing the infection effectively, that the new tier system will reduce the rate of infection overall and that we are in a position to deliver the vaccine. The prospect of mass vaccination is an exit strategy. Its a way out of the situation that we find ourselves in. The most important thing is making sure that vaccine is effectively distributed and available. That is the critical question. Are you confident we are talking about what is happening in wales at the moment are you confident there will be no need for another lockdown in england . Confident there will be no need for another lockdown in england . Yes. I think you are right to wield raise the case of wales. I have enormous typically for the difficulties the Welsh Government are wrestling with. It looks with the benefit of hindsight is no immediately after their two week lockdown, they lifted restrictions to expansively. Lockdown, they lifted restrictions to expa nsively. As lockdown, they lifted restrictions to expansively. As a result of doing that the virus once more got out of control. So theyve had to slam the bra kes control. So theyve had to slam the brakes on once again. That is one of the reasons why we are exiting the lockdown cautiously. Across the country retail will be open again. That is good. There will be a number of restrictions which are lifted. But we are taking a cautious approach, absolutely. I dont apologise for that. Because the example of apologise for that. Because the exa m ple of wales apologise for that. Because the example of wales shows what can be done if you lived the restrictions into blanket away, too soon. That is what could happen over christmas. There must be, i am sure, planning somewhere, potentially the need for another lockdown after christmas if those five days of households mixing proves to be the same sort of, raise the same issues you talk about it wales . The same issues you talk about it wales . You are absolutely right to raise it. That is one of the reasons we have to have a tough regime at the moment. The natural human desire to be with those that we love is understandably all the stronger at christmas time. And thats why we have the relaxation that you mentioned. But again, we need to make sure that both in the run up to and afterwards, that we have measures that can control the spread of the virus. So there are some folk, and i can sympathise with them, who say the Current System is too strict, too rigorous. I dont think so. I think it is necessary to keep the infection rate down, to reduce it wherever possible. Precisely so that people can be together at christmas. Its a balance and it is not an easy one. But while these restrictions on our freedoms are painful, they go against the grain for me, they are there to try to ensure we dont have there to try to ensure we dont have the nhs overwhelmed. Underpinning where we are at the moment, and youve talked about where you want us youve talked about where you want us to be, is all about, its all underpinned by this testing regime. Thats where the Prime Minister said, the only way to identify asymptomatic cases and to prevent to protect everyone is through mass testing. Liverpool has moved from tier 3 to tier 2 because of this mass testing. It seems that even though we have administers on this programme for many weeks talking about the liverpool model and how it will be used elsewhere in the uk, which requires huge resources, 2000 members of the armed forces, thats not going to be the case and its switched now from mass testing to Community Testing. Is that another case of the government overpromising, saying this model is working, we are going to roll it out everywhere, when in actualfact working, we are going to roll it out everywhere, when in actual fact you dont have the resources to do that and they wont be the liverpool model elsewhere in the uk . No, i think there will be. That is exactly what we are planning to do. That is what we are planning to do. That is what matt hancock outlined yesterday. There are a number of local authorities outside liverpool that wants to have Community Testing. Mass testing, Community Testing, its basically the same thing. That is making sure that working with the amazing people we have in the armed forces, and the amazing people we have in the nhs, that we can have a greater level of testing in the community and that means that working alongside the two measures we can get to grips with this infection. Its a more targeted approach. It is not mass testing because it is not available everywhere . There are some authorities who dont want to go down that route. But for the authorities that do we are working with them to make sure it can be delivered. Is that the only way of moving from tier to tier 3 to tier 2, which has been successful in liverpool . It surely mass testing is how you get out of it . Its one very important tool in our armoury. It is also the case, to their credit, that the Civic Leaders in liverpool didntjust the Civic Leaders in liverpool didnt just have community the Civic Leaders in liverpool didntjust have Community Testing in liverpool. It is also the case that they embraced a quite strange and tier3, and that they embraced a quite strange and tier 3, and the combination of those two helped to reduce infections. It is important to recognise that the new tier 3 that we have is very similar to the top tier 3 that liverpool adopted. And so, we know that that tough tier 3 can bring infection rates down and Community Testing is another way of helping us to identify where there is the risk of infection and take appropriate steps to reduce it. Is the risk of infection and take appropriate steps to reduce itm was said yesterday it was undeliverable for the whole country . Again, there are parts of the country where we have tier to restrictions under tier 1 restrictions, where it wouldnt be appropriate. It is the case that we can appropriate. It is the case that we ca n test appropriate. It is the case that we can test more people, i think, in this country per capita than many other western nations because of the effo rts other western nations because of the efforts that have been made in order to secure this additional testing capacity. But it is a very important tool. But it is just one tool in the armoury. So we have the tier restrictions, painful, as i say, from any of us. But effective in bringing infection down. Community testing as well. And of course the prospect of vaccination together they can ensure we can move back to normal life, which i know everyone wa nts. Normal life, which i know everyone wants. One of the stories we are dealing with this morning is what is happening with the Arcadia Group and sir philip green. Do you think that Arcadia Group has been mismanaged . think there have been some missteps along the way. Certainly that is the view of many analysts. It is also, to be fair, the case that many high street retailers are having a very tough time, mainly of course because of the covid restrictions, and again, that is one of the reasons why, through the furlough scheme and other support, we are doing everything we can to support businesses. It is also one of the reasons why, thanks to the discipline we have shown collectively as a country, retail can open in a couple of days. There are thousands of people who work in that group worried about their future and theirjobs. I saw that alok sharma was tweeting the government stands ready to support those affected during this difficult period. Can you tell us what that support will look like for those who may lose theirjobs . I think the Business Team will be saying a bit more about this later. But yes, my heart goes out to people who have been working hard and who, as i say because of a combination of factors, risk losing theirjobs. We want to do everything we can in order to see what can be done to support them. Do you think that sir philip green should try to plug some of that gap in the pension deficit himself . Well, i wont get into personalities on this. Im not an expert analyst in what has happened with the Arcadia Group. There are People Better place than me to judge what the right things to do in order to do right by all those who work for the company. Appreciate your time. Thank you very much for being with us. Not at all. Thank you. We had some breaking news about Lewis Hamilton that a couple of minutes ago. Cathy is here to tell us more. Minutes ago. Cathy is here to tell us more. Good morning. We start with the breaking news this hour that Lewis Hamilton has tested positive for coroanvirus. The seven time formula one World Champion tested grand prix in the country. He woke up yesterday morning with mild symptoms, we are hearing. At the same time hamilton was closed told a close contact are tested positive. We got another test and that came back positive. He is now isolating but his team say he is fit and well despite showing those mild symptoms. Mercedes will name his replacement for sundays raise later. So no Lewis Hamilton in bahrain this weekend. Some massive ties for the smaller clubs in the third round of the fa cup. The biggest of them surely is the Northern Premier League club marine who are going to play premier League Leaders tottenham at home in january. Lets speak to the man wholl be coming up againstjose mourinho, its marine manager, neil young. Pitting your wits againstjoe mourinho. He is the special one. Which one are you . Im not quite sure to be honest. At this moment in time ita sure to be honest. At this moment in time it a bit of a dream. Weve played seven rounds to get to where we are today, and busy to come up against Tottenham Hotspur and joe mourinho is a dream for our Football Club. It so nearly didnt happen. A100 and 20th minute extra time winner against havent in waterlooville to get the place in the third round draw. That was really tight, wasnt it . Yes, it wouldnt have come any later. We got through on penalties against colchester. And then the 120th on sunday. The scenes they were remarkable, even with no fans. As you say, to get a face tie after what weve been through this season is incredible. You mentioned the fa ns is incredible. You mentioned the fans there because it is going to be played in early january, fans there because it is going to be played in earlyjanuary, this fans there because it is going to be played in early january, this third round tie. You guys are in tier 2 on merseyside. So fans should be allowed back. Ithink merseyside. So fans should be allowed back. I think its 2000 fans allowed back. I think its 2000 fans allowed in tier 2. How many can you fit into your ground to safely and within guidelines . Well, im not sure from the safety perspective. I am thinking we will probably get cameras etc. Under current guidelines i think we will be allowed about 1600. Our gate is about 3200. About 1600 at this moment in time. Im sure they will be lots of conversations behind the scenes in terms of what we can and cant do from a safety perspective. Do you think there is any chance you might consider moving away from a bigger venue so you can possibly get more fans in, or is it part of having tottenham at your ground that will be the real magic . Seeing josie mourinho, gareth bale perhaps in the dressing room . Yes, that is the magic. If we can hold it at home, thatis magic. If we can hold it at home, that is our preference. It is very important for our Football Club to allow fa ns important for our Football Club to allow fans to see this game. It may not ever happen again. Its very unlikely. I think its very important whatever we do. Ideally we have at home. That is the key bit. But i do think its important we have our fans into what the game. So how do you go about pitting your wits against the current premier League Leaders, down on the eighth tier of english football and playing the biggest opposition you could get could get at the moment . Yeah, i think somebody said to me yesterday is the biggest gap everin fa cup history in terms of teams. We will prepare the best we can. I did ask the chairman if i could scout them away in the europa league. But i dont think that will happen. We have to prepare as best we can. We know the team that will come up against us is formidable. We have done well so far in the competition and sure we will put on a show when the day comes around. What do you quys the day comes around. What do you guys sing in the changing room after a win . Well, they do sing sweet caroline by neil diamond. They have another song that is a bit new for me. It is it a song for the young players. I dont know what its called, if im honest youd better learn the words just in case you pull off a shock win against totte n ha m. Pull off a shock win against tottenham. We will speak to you closer to the time. Thank you. The reason i was asking neil about what the players saying its because im about to talk about charlie, of the National League north, who booked their place in the third round. Peterborough united and wigan are the teams theyve knocked out. If you dont recognise them from these pictures, perhaps youll remember the team from this. Never mind, ill find someone like you i wish nothing but the best for you too. Thats right, they re the team that sing adele in the dressing room after a win. And their reward for knocking out two League One Clubs so far, is a home match against Wayne Rooneys derby county. Like all Non League Clubs, you know, weve struggled this year with whats going on. Weve had a bit of money coming through, a little bit of a grant. But this fa cup run really is keeping us afloat. You can go out and enjoy it, but when you look at where i think derby are bottom of the championship, so i dont think that theyd really quite fancy it. Weve just beaten peterborough, who are top. You know, weve got a chance. A couple of other ties to look forward to. National league club stockport, who are in the third round for the first time in13 years, will be home to premier league opposition in west ham. And fellow National League club boreham wood booked their place in round three last night, with a 3 0 win at Canvey Island of the Isthmian League North Division thats three steps below them in the non league pyramid. Theyll be at home against millwall in the next round. The full draw is on our website. Id say there is a case for a feature on songs in the dressing room after a win. I think somebody has already thought of that i think thatis has already thought of that i think that is going to happen. Definitely a man ties. Football focus next time, dan. Iwill get a man ties. Football focus next time, dan. I will get it i can no i know somebody who can do that. Carol has been with us all morning. Look at that. What a beautiful picture. Tell us what is happening in the next few days. Isnt it gorgeous . Good morning. This is one of are weather watchers in wokingham. Red sky in the morning. The weather this week is changeable. Although there isa week is changeable. Although there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the weather, on friday there is the chance some of us will see some snow, mostly on the hills, but some could see get at lower levels. We will keep you updated in the next few days. Today what we have got is a lot of clear sky. A lot of frost to start with and some sunshine. This weather front, a to start with and some sunshine. This weatherfront, a one to start with and some sunshine. This weather front, a one front, coming in from the west is introducing thicker cloud and patchy drizzle. Through the course of the day that will move steadily eastwards. The brisk wind blowing in some showers in the north sea coast will tend to ease, so will the showers. The best of the suntan today will be across central and eastern parts of england. And also, across the moray firth and aberdeenshire. Temperatures between six and 10 degrees. As we head on through the evening and overnight, there will be some clear skies in there will be some clear skies in the south east, so they could be some pockets of frost. We have also got this cloud moving south. And an active weather front across the south west, introducing a narrow band of rain. North west. Behind it, a lot of blustery showers with the snow level in the highlands down to about 500 metres. Here is the cold front. Sinking south. The cold is streaming in behind it. Just hanging on to the moderator the south by the skin of our teeth. After a cold start there will be sunshine first thing in the south east. It wont be long before the cloud comes down and they will be some rain. Behind that, a return to sunshine and showers. Gusty winds in the north west of scotland. Most of the showers will be in scotland and Northern Ireland. The snow level would be coming down to about 300 metres. You can see the trend. It is getting colder. As the cold front clears away from the south east, the cold air will be upon us. Then we have this next clutch of france coming in from the west introducing rain. So on thursday the heaviest rain. So on thursday the heaviest rain will be across parts of the south west and also the english channel. Here too it is going to be breezy. Behind that band of rain a lot of cloud and some showers. Some sunshine and showers across scotland and Northern Ireland. Then dont forget it is much colder, so the snow level coming down again. In Northern Ireland down to about 200 metres. In scotland, between 150 and 200 metres. In North West Wales and the pennines down to about a00 metres. Then after this we run into the uncertainty. The uncertainty of course means where we are going to see the snow. There goes thursdays front moving across. Low pressure still in charge. What is happening as it may well develop again another low. If that happens it could well bring in its fronts from the east moving west. Some of us could see some snow, notjust in scotland, also across parts of england and wales as well. We expect most of the snow to be in the hills, but in some of the heavier burst we could well see it getting down to low levels at times. It wont last because mild airwill times. It wont last because mild air will follow on behind. Dont make this the last forecast you see for friday because it has changed already and it could well change again. And you know what its like when we get snow . It can cause a lot of disruption. It will be cold whichever way you look at it on friday. Dan and sally. Another reason to pay close attention to you, carol. Thank you. If youve been looking to the skies in the last 2a hours, you may have noticed a bright full moon yesterday morning. Idid do i did do you know what its called . Ido its known as the beaver moon, or frost moon, and nasa say it will still be visible this morning. Lets take a look at some pictures from across the uk. It gets the name beaver moon from native american, whove associated it with when beavers finish building their lodges to prepare for winter. Frost moon is obviously a nod to the colder nights setting in. You may remember last week, we watched as a chinese led mission set off to the moon with the aim of bringing lunar samples back to earth for the first time in a0 years. Well, that robotic craft is due to land in just a few hours. Lets speak now to space scientist, monica grady. We can discuss all of this. Talk us through first of all the excitement. First time in a long time what are we hoping for . Good morning. We are hoping that the change 5 mission will land in the northern part of the moon, a place called 0ceana us. And that it will dig into the rocks and bring some back, which is really great news for those like me who study bodies in the solar system. Am i right study bodies in the solar system. Am iright in study bodies in the solar system. Am i right in thinking this is the most material that will have been brought back from the moon before . A p pa re ntly back from the moon before . Apparently the last minute and they only brought back a few ounces of material, is that right . Well, its true the last mission only brought back a few micrograms of material. 2a0 kilograms or so, back a few micrograms of material. 2a0 kilograms orso, in back a few micrograms of material. 2a0 kilograms or so, in several missions. This particular mission is going to bring back a few kilograms, but it is going to bring some soil from the surface and dirt from the surface, and it is going to dig and bring some rocks from below the surface. That is going to be really exciting because we havent had rocks from that particular section of the moon before. So yeah, we dont know what were going to find, different types of rocks, who knows . In terms of the space race, how competitive is it all . The chinese are obviously very happy to be involved in this. How does that then affect the americans and the russians and everyone else trying to get their slice of the pie . Well, science is a very collaborative operation. Space science particularly. The missions are so big. And so expensive. And they take so long. People tend to be very generous with sharing material when they come back. Anything likes this benefits us all because we learn from the mission, from the technical aspects, we learn from material that brought back. And competition drives things forward. We saw this at the time of apollo. It was the cold war. The russians managed to put Yuri Gargarin into space before the americans put anybody into space. And so that drove the americans forward , and so that drove the americans forward, which drove the russians forward, which drove the russians forward and we all benefited. This time it is the chinese who are driving forward. They have been to mars, they have had several missions to the moon. And they are putting a space station into orbit around the earth as well. So they are doing really, really well. They have come into it a bit late but they have made up for lost time. How close are we to sing another human land on the moon . Well, the americans want to put somebody on the moon in 202a. Whether they will be able to or not, i dont know. They are certainly targeting that. Whether it is 202a or 2025, or 26, people will be going back to the moon. And it will be really exciting when they do, because they might stay there for longer. We know a lot more about the moon. We know a lot more about the moon. We know a lot more about the type of materials that are there. There have been lots of technical developments to see if you can get hydrogen and oxygen from the lunar soil to act as a fuel, so people can actually live and work on the moon. It would be really entertaining when that happens. And monica, i suppose we are all used to watching Nasa Missions where you can livestrea m watching Nasa Missions where you can livestream it, you can watch the information online. How much information online. How much information will be coming from this Chinese Mission . Is it going to be as easily accessible as some of the others . Sadly, probably not. There are independent websites following it. The European Space agency is following it. But only with the feet that they get from china. The best thing to look at is cctv, which is China Central tv. There is an English Version of it. They update. The chinese, because they are still learning, they are a bit more cagey about things. They tend to broadcast after the event rather than before. So if anything goes wrong, you know, they dont necessarily admit to it straightaway. So its very unlikely that there will be Live Streaming of actually the landing. Very interesting, monica. Just finally come on a scale of one to ten, how excited are you about this . Right, 0k lets see. 0n excited are you about this . Right, 0k lets see. On a scale of one to ten, lets say eight, shall we . We will take an age, monica. Lovely to speak to you. Thank you. I willjoin her on speak to you. Thank you. I willjoin heron an aid. Speak to you. Thank you. I willjoin her on an aid. I think id be on a and eight as well. Potentially a nine later. Stay with us, headlines coming up. Good morning welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. 0ur headlines today. More jobs at risk on the high street as arcadias Administration Leads to more trouble at debenhams. Jd sports looks set to pull out of its debenhams rescue deal. That puts 12,000 jobs on the line, while13,000 arcadia workers hope someone will step forward to save brands like topshop, wallis, burton and miss selfridge. Despite some opposition, mps are set to vote through the new covid tiers system which will come into force tomorrow. Running for rob. Rugby league star Kevin Sinfield sets off on an epic marathon journey in support of his friend rob burrow who has Motor Neurone Disease. Good who has Motor Neurone Disease. Morning, it is a ci good morning, it is a chilly start in central and eastern areas, we have some sunshine here but in the west, more cloudy with patchy drizzle moving east. All the details in ten minutes. Its tuesday, the 1st of december. Our top story. The British Retail Group arcadia, which owns some of the uks best known clothing brands, has gone into administration, putting 13,000 jobs at risk. Arcadias collapse also appears to have scuppered a rescue deal for debenhams, which could push the Department Store to the brink of liquidation. John mcmanus reports. Happier times for the Arcadia Group and the man who steered it to success, sir philip green. But with the confirmation last night that the group had gone into administration, it seems this british Retail Success story has hit the rocks. The future of aaa stores, plus hundreds of concessions in other shops, now uncertain. 13,000 jobs are threatened, and those workers pensions are also at risk from a massive hole in the Pension Scheme. There have been calls from mps for the green family to plug that gap. Sir philip and his wife, who is resident in the tax haven of monaco, are estimated to be worth £930 million. Arcadia operated hundreds of concessions in debenhams stores, a chain which is also in trouble, but which was in talks to be saved byjd sports. That deal now expected to be scuppered, putting at risk a further 12,000 jobs. How did it all go so wrong . The online players, such as asos and boohoo, dont have the cost base of the stores, they dont have to pay for staffing in their stores. All they have is their online presence. Theyre much better at it. Theyve invested a huge amount of money in it, and they have a much better connection with their customers. With just weeks to go before christmas, and the sector already in the midst of a pandemic inspired slowdown, its a stressful time for arcadias employees. A lot of us are feeling a bit anxious because we dont know the full extent about whats happening ourselves. For us, its about money around christmas time. Bills have to go out. We dont know if we can afford stuff for christmas. Were worried about what will happen to our Pension Schemes. Will we still get paid if were in administration . For now, arcadia will continue to trade and the government says it stands ready to support those who are affected. But over the next few days, the administrators will also get to work to decide the fate of this once iconic giant. John mcmanus, bbc news. Mps will vote later on whether a new, stricter, three tier system of controls to contain coronavirus should be imposed in england. Borisjohnson is facing opposition from many conservative mps who are against the plans, but labour will abstain in the vote, meaning the plans are likely to pass. Lets speak to our political correspondent, chris mason now. So chris, talk us through whats going to happen today. Good morning. This gets under way in the commons at lunchtime when we hear from the the commons at lunchtime when we hearfrom the Prime Minister the commons at lunchtime when we hear from the Prime Minister who will try to reassure some in the hospitality sector who are really worried about the impact of these tiers that are coming, with tens of millions of pounds made available to pubs that do not serve food in the highest tiers as there is a recognition in government they are being hammered at the moment. More than 100 mps have said they want to speak in the debate, Health Secretary at matt hancock will round things off in the early evening. But as you said, no realjeopardy here because labour will abstain and not vote at all and so these measures will pass, even if there is quite a lot of noise between the debate starting and ending. 0ne fascinating bit of conversation to get into is a conversation you had with michael gove which is worth playing a bit off, this question of the vaccine and what happens when it rolls out, and what happens when it rolls out, and potentially as was floated by a minister yesterday, you get places that say, you can come in here but only if you can prove you have had a back scene. Is that the right way to go as we head into next year . Had eight vaccine. It is up to any individual pub owner or licensee to decide who they will admit and on what basis, they are private businesses, but im not sure that is what people are concerned about, i think people are concerned about making sure we are managing the infection effectively, that the new tiered system will reduce the rate of infection and we are in a position to deliver the vaccine. The prospect of mass vaccination is an exit strategy, a way out of the situation which we find ourselves in and the most important thing is making sure that vaccine is effectively distributed and available, that is the critical message. The challenge of the vaccine is the challenge to come, but the challenge of today and the coming weeks, this return to the toughened tier system in england that will kick in from tomorrow. Despite the noise here, these measures are going to pass but for the Prime Minister, he will have to keep an eye on his backbenchers because there are plenty who are simply not happy with what is coming. They dont trust their data at the government has been publishing and increasingly what i hear from publishing and increasingly what i hearfrom ministers publishing and increasingly what i hear from ministers and that will matter in the coming weeks because this will be far from the last vote as far as coronavirus restrictions are concerned. And a quick unrelated question, the big tree behind you, i might right in thinking the baubles had gone on since yesterday . Was it free of baubles yesterday . Impeccable attention to detail as ever the honest answer is i dont know, but there is a policeman wondering, i will do some Fact Checking for you and let you know i will come back with the breaking news when i have established the fa cts news when i have established the facts chris mason, always across the big stories, thank you formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has tested positive for coronavirus and will miss this weekends sakhir grand prix. It will be the first time that hamilton has missed a race since making his grand prix debut in 2007. According to his mercedes team, he has displayed mild symptoms but is otherwise fit and well. Scientists say new International Commitments mean global temperature rises could be limited to 2. 1 degrees by the end of the century. The us president elect, joe biden, has announced plans for 100 clean energy and china says it will achieve net zero Carbon Emissions by 2060 we have mentioned Christmas Trees and decorations already. Now, we all love to get into the mood for christmas by watching festive films at this time of the year. Have you watched the christmas channel . I havent yet these guys have started already that is the london aquarium where the penguins, who have been a bit bored in lockdown, have been watching christmas films. They are watching one of the great christmas films. That is the best ever. Everybody says its a wonderful life is a christmas film but its only christmas film but its only christmas at the end so how do you qualify as a christmas film . I say that die hard is. I think you cant beat elf, i could watch it all year round. We dont get our decorations out until we see the nacker tony plaza in die hard if you are a fan of die hard, that is the area where bruce willis causes havoc. We are all with you ca role carole must be a die hard fan . No i especially love elf where he buys the special gift it always makes me life. We have some lovely pictures in this morning as you we have some lovely pictures in this morning as you can see we have some lovely pictures in this morning as you can see from this one in North Yorkshire and through today, many eastern areas will hang on to bright skies or sunshine, the brisk northerly wind blowing in showers will ease off but to the west, a lot of cloud and patchy drizzle which will drift east through the day. Parts of eastern england, the midlands and south coast, also aberdeenshire seeing some sunshine. Temperatures of 610. This some sunshine. Temperatures of 6 10. This evening and overnight, the cloud heads to the south east where we hang on to clear skies and there could be pockets of frost. The next active front comes from the north west, introducing this narrow band of rain. Behind it, colderand blustery showers with some snow in the hills in the highlands. Through tomorrow, this front continues to sink southwards, cloud building ahead a bit and behind it come blustery showers and gusts of wind up blustery showers and gusts of wind up to 50 mph on the north west of scotland and those showers in the colderairare turning scotland and those showers in the colder air are turning more wintry, particularly across the highlands with the snow level down to about 300 metres and temperatures of 610. Still a 300 metres and temperatures of 610. Stilla bit 300 metres and temperatures of 6 10. Stilla bit more 300 metres and temperatures of 6 10. Still a bit more snow in the hmmfi 6 10. Still a bit more snow in the forecast and ill have more on that in about half an hour. Now you have put down die hard, i have no interest hes hanging on your every word i cant believe it. See you later last night, after hours of waiting, the news 13,000 shop workers had been dreading was confirmed. The group that owns topshop, Dorothy Perkins and burton collapsed into administration. The Ripple Effect on the rest of the high street is already being felt. Ninas taking a look at the details for us this morning. What more do we know, nina . Good morning. It must have felt like a long wait from friday when the rumours started but yesterday those rumours started but yesterday those rumours and speculation were confirmed. The group which owns brands we all know topshop, topman, miss selfridge, Dorothy Perkins and burton has collapsed. Nearly a50 shops plus a presence in hundreds of other retail outlets like Department Stores. All part of this mans empire. Sir philip green. 0nce known as the king of the high street. He and his wife tina, the majority share owner of the group, are together worth an estimated £930 million. With a private yacht and a high life in monaco. But things havent been plain sailing. Even before coronavirus, arcadias best known brands were struggling. Partly because theyve failed to maintain engagement with younger customers whove moved on from walking in to stores on their feet, to buying from their phones. It has changed and topshop is one of the brands that does not seem to have reacted to it. All of the high street brands havent come into influence marketing at some time or another, brands like asos are steaming ahead but the brands in the Arcadia Group dont seem to have adapted. Lockdown was the final nail in the coffin the chief executive last night saying, in the face of the most difficult trading conditions ever experienced, ultimately the obstacles we encountered this year became too severe. When was the love lost for the brands that so long dominated our wardrobes . We asked shoppers in inverness. To expensive and i would say more so like miss selfridges, probably more for the older end of the scale. You probably wouldnt catch me in that sort of store. I quite like them, especially topshop, being five they do the petite stuff and its quite good quality are not too expensive. I think this jumper good quality are not too expensive. I think thisjumper is good quality are not too expensive. I think this jumper is from good quality are not too expensive. I think thisjumper is from there there is no range, you go from one shop to the next and its all the same and it is 30 quid dearer so i would rather go to primark. And it doesnt last any longer. Everything i had to buy from dorothy both means i have had to sew the buttons back on in two weeks a mountain to climb for the administrators hoping to rescue some or parts of the business. And, of course, its the 13,000 workers who will be feeling the pressure today less than four weeks before christmas. Worried for theirjobs but also for their pensions. The arcadia scheme has 10,000 members and an estimated £350,000 hole in it. That will likely be taken over by the Pension Protection Fund a lifeboat set up by government and paid for by other Pension Schemes. But it could mean less money for some when they retire. The domino effect of arcadias collapse is expected to hit debenhams. Jd sports has been in talks to buy the Department Store in a rescue deal. But with arcadia brands holidng such a lot of space there, that deal seen as the last chance for debenhams now looks doomed. Another hammer blow to the high street, and potentially another 12,500 people out of work. So what could this mean for the high street . According to one research body, nearly a quarter of a million retail jobs could go this year. What could this mean . Im joined now by sue dunn, a former womenswear director of Department Store chain house of fraser. Good to see you this morning. The truth is these problems for arcadia and debenhams predate covid, was the writing on the wall . I think the writing on the wall . I think the writing has been on the wall for the retail arena for a couple of years. We have many job retail arena for a couple of years. We have manyjob losses this year, but 2019 was not great. The reinvention of the high street has been at the forefront of many minds in retail generally. Looking at what we can do to reinvent. It is not just big city centres which have been really affected by covid but the smaller town centres. Nobody wants somewhere that everywhere is boarded up. We need to think about what people want, where they want it, what it will look like and how they can we can support those people trading and the people they employ. In your view with your decades of experience, everybody is talking about the move to online but thatis talking about the move to online but that is not entirely the case. You look at zara and pryima, you can thrive on the high street, there is space . When you shop you want to variety of different things, sometimes you know what you want and you want it quickly, that is online, you want it quickly, that is online, you can ch, order it and it comes. But there is a lot of entertainment and engagement in going out with your friends, that is not necessarily always at the younger end of the market, many people like to go and have a coffee with friends, meet people, Wander Around the shops and see something new. That is bricks and mortar were you can feel something, if it is closing, you hold it up against yourself, it is a colour you have not thought of, that is where people wa nt not thought of, that is where people want to be enjoying themselves in a nice social environment in a shop. Critics will say the Arcadia Group lost sight of that and they will point to sir philip green and say perhaps he became toxic for the brands he was associated with. To what extent our shop is now interested in where the appellant and earth . That is definitely true, people are focused on price but they are conscious of the affected might help are conscious of the affected might help are people more focused on whether pound ends up . They want a signature. Things so they can align with a brand, that is where social media comes in. You want engagement, your favourite shop that you are excited by, you wanted to be conscious of you as a customer, grateful for you and engaging with you, or the sustainability, grateful for you and engaging with you, orthe sustainability, orthe price, or how it fits you, whether it is petite or tall or however it works. Finally, to what extent are you think workers should be protected more . Should the people at the helm be able to take money out, leaving Pension Schemes exposed . That is horrendous, the fact you have worked for years, investing a significant part of your salary in a pension, then you find it is worth less. It is critical now, people are looking up their incomes, we need training programmes from the government to cover these large redundancies and also look after the people who rely on my savings, to look after than in retirement. Sue dunn, former womenswear director at the house of fraser, thank you for joining us. Really interesting what she was saying, the writing has been on the wall for the high street but you look to the shift online and there is so much opportunity, so perhaps it is just reframing the way we think about shopping. perhaps it is just reframing the way we think about shopping. I still like looking around the shops, having a coffee and looking at things. One day soon something to look forward to. Mass testing was set to be introduced in englands tier 3 high risk coronavirus areas, but the government now says it plans to use a more targeted, Community Based approach. Health secretary matt hancock announced the roll out of the programme in a press conference yesterday as he said the country had coronavirus back under control. We are rolling out Community Testing much more widely. We have been working with those going into tier 3 and with colleagues in scotland, wales and Northern Ireland too, and today, with the publication of our Community Testing prospectus, we set out in the next phase of that work, to give tier 3 areas a fast way out of the toughest restrictions, to support them, to come down the tiers as has happened in liverpool. Lets get a bit more detail on this now from linda bauld, whos professor of Public Health at the university of edinburgh, and Epidemiologist Dr mike tildesley. That morning, both. If i could come to you first, linda bauld, what are your views on mass testing as opposed to Community Testing, which we are talking about more this morning . I think the idea that while we wait for a vaccine and have these other health interventions, we would have some Mass Testing Programme in the way that slovakia has done, where they tested the majority of the Adult Population over a weekend, was an idea heralded by government, but now the reality is that this is extremely expensive. What they are having to do is target communities with a higher prevalence rates. When we have nothing published results of the liverpool pilot i think the targeted approach is more appropriate currently. Dr mike tildesley, we heard from michael gove about one hour ago and he said there was not much difference between mass testing and Community Testing, but there is clearly a change and it is more targeted and cheaper, no doubt . If you have the capacity, and linda has said that, then mass testing is clearly appropriate because we still know the viruses circulating throughout the viruses circulating throughout the country and the more people be tested, the more we can detect and isolate mbes here we can get on top of the virus. We are not in that position, we do not have the capacity, so targeting these higher risk areas is very important to bring transmission down. I would like to see, if and when we have the capacity, to try to put some of these testing pilots out to places with slightly lower incidence. We are almost firefighting with tier 3, places get into the higher tiers and we use mass testing to bring that time, but we want to get into a position where we can have lower levels and use testing to keep that down. I think it would be useful to targets in regions with lower incidence to cf we could use testing accompanied by slightly lower restrictions to keep the virus under control. Professor bauld, how do we target the communities, choose which communities and which people to test . At an england levelthe government has published a strategy, they had the measures able use, it will be the prevalence, the identified cases already in an area, which were looking at for the symptomatic testing, it will be looking at which tier the area is in and looking at a more microlevel around the communities where their needs are greatest. This will be donein needs are greatest. This will be done in consultation with local Public Health directors, local government and up in scotland the nhs borders, for example. This is important because local leaders know their local communities. As mike said, there is only so much money so it is better the decisions are taken by the people who know the community is best, and important to give those Community Members information about what testing can and cannot do, what the implications are if they test positive and need to self isolate and need support, that is a key part of the programme. Mike, in terms of what the testing cannons cannot do, what the testing cannons cannot do, what about the importance of identifying asymptomatic cases . About 1000 was liverpool but only through mass testing. It is a small percentage but they are really important to trace . Absolutely, there are still in north a lot of people who are infected but do not symptoms, they can still transmit the virus there are still an awful lot of people. Targeted testing is for people who develop symptoms, they can book a test and we can trace their contact, but asymptomatic people are essentially going about their daily lives and represent a risk to the west of the community, so this is what testing can come into its own, if we can identify people even with mild or no symptoms and isolate them, hopefully we can get ahead of the virus and reduce transmission in those areas. I was going to pick up on that and ask how you get ahead of the virus, because one of the challenges is the time lag when somebody perhaps has the virus and does not know it, before they develop symptoms, or they perhaps have no symptoms. What tactic do they have to get in front of it in areas which are not in tier 3at of it in areas which are not in tier 3 at the moment . It is extremely difficult, you are right, because we have a time lag it can take up to two we e ks have a time lag it can take up to two weeks before people, if they do develop symptoms, develop symptoms. All you can really do is use methods such as severe lockdown to bring the incidents right down and when you cannot is when things like targeted testing can place an easier role. The problem is when there is an awful loss of infection in the community it is difficult for targeted testing and Contact Tracing to keep up. If you can get places into lower tiers and role of the combination of targeted testing and match with mass testing if you have the resources, that is unhelpfully rapid identification and isolation of individuals and tracing of co nta ct isolation of individuals and tracing of contact can hopefully help up thatis of contact can hopefully help up that is when hopefully rapid identification. On the issue of christmas, michael gove was talking about the concerns government about what might need to be done in january february. I know there are tighter restrictions where you are in scotland over the christmas window but it is a concern for people in your profession about what january and february will look like given the relaxation over christmas . Absolutely and people need to take that decision themselves, there are five days or seven days to Northern Ireland where you can opened up and see others. Just because we can, does not mean we should. We should does not mean we should. We should do it modestly. So what happens in january depends on how many people ta ke january depends on how many people take advantage of that. I am very concerned about that. Back to testing, we are not even using our full testing capacity. So thinking about january, for these high incidence areas, it is important we know as soon as possible whether the Christmas Period has had an effect and making sure we can find these areas quickly so people cannot pass it on past the Christmas Period to older relatives. The holiday is a concern and people should approach it with caution. Professor linda bauld and dr mike tildesley, good to get your incitement expert and analysis. It is interesting when you hear the experts talk about christmas, they all say similar. 20 get the news, travel and weather where you are. Time to catch. Good morning from bbc london, im tolu adeoye. The nspcc has warned the pandemic has created a perfect storm for online offenders with record numbers of child grooming. 1,200 cases were logged by Police Across the uk during the first lockdown period. 100 of them in london. Mared parry was only 1a when she was groomed and has campaigned for better checks on social media. I started talking to a few older guys on facebook. Had a conversation with them. One thing led to another. It got more sinister without me even noticing. They were just asking for pictures and, you know, just asking me to talk dirty with them and say thats what girls mature girls their age would do. And i just wanted to match up to that. Sadiq khan is urging europeans in london to ensure theyve applied for the settlement scheme before christmas. The mayor is concerned that european citizens may otherwise face discrimination if landlords and employers dont understand their continuing rights in the uk once tougher immigration rules into force from january. Cycle lanes on kensington high street will be removed weeks after they were introduced following hundreds of complaints. Concerns were raised about congestion and the impact on busjourney times. The lanes were a trial its hoped their removal will tempt shoppers back. One in four people have found pandemic restrictions harder to stick to in this lockdown. Thats according to new research by Kings College london. Colder weather, a feeling of being worn out and believing the restrictions are unfair were some of the reasons given. The majority of people said they were careful about obeying the rules. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello, good morning. Today marks the first day of the meteorological winter. And weve got the temperatures to match it as we head through the rest of the week. Its turning rather chilly. But today, a lovely day of weather. Plenty of sunshine. Largely frost free to start the morning. Perhaps a touch of localised frost out there. Theres quite a cool northerly wind blowing. That will tend to ease down as we head through the day. And lots of sunshine around. The sunshine turning hazy as we head into the afternoon. It will stay dry and the temperatures will peak at six to eight celsius, so already a drop there. 0vernight tonight, with lighter winds and lots of clear skies, we will see a widespread frost developing into tomorrow morning. Many of our temperatures dropping below freezing. A very chilly but bright start to the day. The cloud amounts will increase as we had through the day on wednesday. There will be some outbreaks of rain by the afternoon. Expect to see some more wet weather, and feeling even colder on thursday. Im back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. Plenty more on our website. Now though its back to sally and dan. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. Straight after brea kfast on bbc one is morning live with kym marsh and gethinjones. Lets find out what they have coming up on the show. Good morning. Good morning. 0n morning live today. Its the first day of december so were getting in the festive mood and today were hoping to inspire everyone to be a little kinder this christmas. I have been up all night doing this set for the 33,000 children who are set to miss out on a Christmas Present this year thanks to the impact of covid, your kindness has never been more in need. Wed love breakfast viewers to get involved and do your bit to help so make sure you join us to find out how. On that note, in the run up to christmas were going to be celebrating some of the loveliest acts of kindness that have really warmed our hearts if you need cheering up today, this is just the ticket. We will be speaking to them later. Also this morning, its uk disability History Month and were joined by one of the most influential disabled women in the world. Actress and campaigner Samantha Renke is here to tell us why everything weve been told about disability is wrong. Presenter and historian dan snow gives his verdict on one of the most talked about shows on tv at the moment, the crown, and tells us why facts should always get in the way of a good story. And drjames will be here with some great advice on how to keep your pets in tip top condition during the winter. But we are reallyjust here to see ollie well see you straight after breakfast at 9 15. I cant believe he called you tim the cheek of it i couldnt get my act together we will see you later that was mean its very early this isa that was mean its very early this is a story we have followed an awful lot in the last weeks and months and i know that so many have been taking real interest in the story of rob burrow. His story of living with Motor Neurone Disease is one weve been following closely here on breakfast, and now one of rob burrows former team mates has started an Epic Challenge this morning, in support of his friend. Former leeds rhinos star Kevin Sinfield is aiming to run seven marathons in seven days. I went to meet him while he was in training. I was asked if i fancied doing another challenge, seven in seven days. I know hed do it for me. And i know that any of them would do it for me. We should be running in here, shouldnt we gosh, where do we start, kev . You are about to do something which is almost, i cant quite get my head around it. You have decided to do seven marathons in seven days. Are you mad . Probably, yeah we all know why. I think it is all around robs number seven. Everybody knows who rob burrow is now. And if people didnt from what he did in his rugby career, they certainly do now from what hes done in the last 12 months. So that number is synonymous with him, certainly at the club it is, so to try to use that number in a way, to try and once again keep him in everybodys thoughts, ensure that the awareness and research around mnd continues, and increases and improves better than its ever done, so thats the driving force. I know you have friends who are going to run parts alongside you. How hard has it been to organise that with all the restrictions at the moment . We are in the middle of a pandemic so we are all getting tested this weekend and its pretty stringent and it was one plus one and our start times have to be different. Youre doing this for your mate rob. What is it about that friendship that is going to keep you going . I want to remember the good times, i want it to make me laugh while im running, i want to try and get away from those dark moments. In its simplest form, im just trying to be a team mate. And when i think about it, i was his captain for 13 years. Theres. Sorry. Happens every time, as soon as i Start Talking about him i was his captain for 13 years and although none of us play any more, there is a group of real close friends. And that aint just about me and rob theres probably five, ten, 15, 20 other ex players who feel exactly the way i feel about it and have done some wonderful things this year. Its just about that. We had an Unbelievable Team spirit, we had some really special times and memories and i think, when you boil it down, i know hed do it for me. When you first met rob, he was 12, you were 1a. There is such a bond because you end up, although its only a couple of years, you end up being like a big brother and i know it sounds daft but when youre sat next to him every day and hes so small, he becomes everybodys little brother because everybody is trying to look after him. You know he dont need looking after at all but thats where you end up. Weve got a couple of messages for you. 0k. Robs wife lindsey says, its amazing what youre doing. I still cant believe youre actually intending to run seven marathons in seven days. Its just crazy. I admire kev so much for doing it. Thats lovely. This is an audio message. I think you know who this is from. Ijust want to wish kev a massive good luck for his crazy challenge. You must be mad. From day one, kev has always been a role model to me and someone who i have held in the highest regard. As ive said many times to you, mate, i hope you know id do the same for you. It means everything to me. A friend in need is a friend indeed. To stop me crying, when you started to play that then, i thought it was going to be rob saying theres a snake in my boots and we do laugh about that a fair bit because when rob was first diagnosed and we started to discuss some of the voice recording and perhaps having lines that he could say at the touch of a button, that was the one that we decided was going to be the most important line hed say when youre running, how do you get yourself through . People face a tough things every day and we see it at the minute with covid and whats going on out there. Dont get me wrong, i do have moments where i want to bury my head and i do want to pull the duvet over but it doesnt fix anything so ill probably. Probably be thinking just keep taking another step. I think its important you stand for something. Friendships, team mates, they do stand for something when its been that long so. What a friend. Its brilliant. 0ne of the things we have missed in the last few months is the ability to hug each other and i bet you wanted to hug him in that absolutely. When you see what he is really putting himself through, it is a staggering. His training, i can say it now, he actually had practice at this to prove to himself he could do it. About a week ago he ran three marathons in three days just on his own because he wanted to prove to himself mentally it was achievable andi himself mentally it was achievable and i ask how he got on and he went, yeah, fine i love the fact that it is two blocks, as soon as they got ina room is two blocks, as soon as they got in a room together, they sparked up that friendship and they have had that friendship and they have had that with all the leeds rhinos collea g u es that with all the leeds rhinos colleagues and friends two blokes. But there is next level up of thinking, my friend is going through this, and i am going to dedicate a huge part of my life to try to make his a little better and change it for other people as well. Is the next seven days, Kevin Sinfield is running a marathon every day to raise as much money as he can for his mate rob. He started this morning and we spoke to him a couple of minutes before and he set off at seven oclock on the first of seven marathons in seven days. There he goes. He is running with a very small team because they all have to be in small team because they all have to beina small team because they all have to be in a bubble and are tested so thatis be in a bubble and are tested so that is why they can run together country always had someone running with him, someone on the bike but they will take turns like a relay to help keep him going and he said that was the thing that was important. He doesnt run at listening to music, he just runs in silence, doesnt run at listening to music, hejust runs in silence, sometimes they have a chat but hes looking forward to one of his team mates, who is famous for singing elvis songs as he goes along when we spoke earlier, he said he would be thinking about rob and why they are raising money and i think they have raised £a0,000 before they have even started so support him if you can and we will have regular updates on super Kevin Sinfield over the next seven days.

Days ago, he has mild symptoms but he is feeling ok. I can exclusively reveal the shortlist for weather personality of the year, and the first person nonetheless there is. Matt taylor it morning, carol i would vote for him a sunny start. Mothers, a chilly start, temperatures freezing or just mothers, a chilly start, temperatures freezing orjust below folsom, turning more unsettled a sunny start in most areas. Today we have a warm front which is bringing all the cloud from the west with patchy rain, that will move eastwards, eradicating a lot of the sunshine we currently have. This brisk northerly wind is also easing to the course of the day so the sunshine hangs on the longest across central and eastern parts of england and around the moray firth and aberdeenshire. Temperatures ranging from six to about 10 degrees. This evening and overnight, most of the clouds will get down to the south east but we could well see pockets of frost and another active weather front across the north west, introducing rain. Turning colder, we will see blustery showers across Northern Ireland and western scotla nd Northern Ireland and western scotland and down to about 500 metres in scotland we will see some snow. It is a cold weather front that will continue to sit southwards, watch it pushing the milderair into southwards, watch it pushing the milder air into the cells. After a chilly start with pockets of frost the cloud will arrive and here is the cloud will arrive and here is the weather front. Back into sunshine and showers after that, some of the showers will be pretty blustery with gusty wind of about 50 mph across the north west of scotland, the snow level will come down to about 300 metres in the highlands. The cold front clears the south east eventually, the cold air will be across the whole of the uk. Asa will be across the whole of the uk. As a weather front coming from the west introducing rain, which will be happiest on thursday across the south west and the english channel. It will be pretty windy. Quite a bit of cloud further north and some showers which will be wintry in nature. Down to about 152 200 metres in scotland, down to about 200 metres in Northern Ireland and across the pennines and west wales down to about a00 metres. Maximum temperature is three degrees in aberdeen, six in cardiff. A lot of intensity into friday because we have an area of low pressure which might develop another centre a lot of uncertainty into friday. There is the potential for snow not just in the hills and notjust in scotland, we could see some across parts of england. Dont make this the last forecast you watch for friday because it could very easily change just to confirm, you will be on the left. By the way, i have never liked you that is another one it took me a field days to recover last week. She isjoking, everybody. You are joking, recover last week. She isjoking, everybody. You arejoking, arent you . of course and. How will ibiza be from this . of course i am. How will i recover from this . Sir eltonjohn hasjoined a group of charities to call for anybody going for a blood test to be offered hiv screening too. They claim more testing would halt new transmissions in england within a decade. It comes as bbc breakfast Analysis Shows that rates of hiv are rising in older women, despite overall figures falling. Jayne mccubbin has more. As gillian approached her 50th birthday, she became ill. Seven doctors examined her, seven doctors gave her a barrage of tests but no one, including gillian, had accurately guessed what it might be. It never entered your head that it could be hiv because, in your head, hiv wasnt something that happened to people like you . No, no, no. Absolutely. Not at all. You only suggested to the doctors that they maybe should do this test for one reason. Because id seen Gareth Thomass programme. The reason im doing this is because firstly. A year ago the welsh rugby captain made hiv and me. I want to remember what its like to live again. And gillian, poorly at home, was watching. I want to remember what its like to feel free. And by doing that, i want to empower so many other people, who are in exactly the same position as me. I sort of sat and watched the programme, really heartfelt for him because it was a really big thing he did and obviously his situation, etc. I totally understand why he did it. But was so pleased that he had. If i hadnt have seen that programme, lets put it this way, i would never have got myself tested because i would never. It would never even entered my head. If you had the chance to Say Something to gareth, what would you like to say . Oh, my god i did actually private message him when i first found out. Didnt get a reply but then i didnt expect to because, you know, his page would have been absolutely rammed at that time. Hold that thought because im going to let him in the room now and you can speak to him direct. Thank you. Brace yourself. Hello, you. Hello. Gareth, meet gillian. Gillian, meet gareth. Oh, my goodness i want to thank you, gareth, im trying to keep myself composed here. My husband has been an avid, avid rugby and especially welsh rugby fan and he recorded the programme. I know through the programme you said, if this programme can help just one person get diagnosed and be able to live a normal life, thats what you wanted to achieve. And ijust wanted to tell you, mate, youve done it. I swear to god i would still be not knowing i was hiv until this day if it hadnt been for your programme. So i owe you my life, to be quite honest. Im not really sure how to respond to what you said. I made that documentary. I saved my life doing it, i really did. I saved my life doing it. I never thought id probably meet somebody who would have been affected and have such a positive story from something that has only ever been spoken about in a really negative way. So i thank you for telling your story, i thank you for going and being tested and i thank you for carrying on, living your life and being a role model. Bless you. You have made my christmas. Thats lovely. You saved my life. What can i say . Gareth thomas helped break the stigma of the disease which is plummeting amongst men. Diagnoses fell 18 in the last annual stats, but amongst women its a different story. Diagnoses are down a overall. They are rising in parts of england and wales and especially in the over 65 age group. Today, on world aids day, charities are calling for testing for hiv whenever blood is taken, regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexuality. You get tested because you realise that you dont have to be a gay man to have hiv. You dont have to be a black african man or women to have hiv. It can be anybody. You can be anybody. And thats why its important to get tested, as you did. And now live a happy, healthy, life because of it. I do, i do. Thank you. Her diagnosis wasnt easy. Shock, horror. Why me . Then, of course, the next thing is, how long have i actually had this for . When did i contract it . But she said she was saved, notjust by Gareth Thomas but by a loving husband, who has remained hiv free. This is the sanest nigel. What you make of your lovely light speaking out about this . The i am really, really proud. And if i had not seen gareths programme i would not have been able to stand there and say, dont worry, because i probably would have had that Old Fashioned view. You are both fantastically brave speaking and brilliantly positive, and that is such an important message. Yes, it is all about educating. Education, compassion and a goal set by westminster to try to bring transmissions down to zero by 2030. They say they will consider todays recommendations. Thank you, gillian and gareth. Amazing film. Its going to be an unusual christmas this year but one project in leeds is determined to bring festive joy to as many households as possible by supplying hampers to literally anyone who applies throughout december. There have already been thousands of applications and our reporter amy garcia is at the distribution warehouse in leeds for us this morning. What is happening . Welcome, this is the kindness warehouse on the outskirts of leeds and home to the realjunk food project, and i was an environmental project which takes food that would normally go into the bin and put student rebellions. 150 tonnes of food here, it will not go tonnes of food here, it will not go to waste but it will provide families with a really lovely christmas. Adam smith is the man behind it, you put out a plea on social media saying if you want a christmas hamper, we will deliver. 13,000 people said yes, how will you deliver on that promise . We have an army of volunteers, incredible people all over the city of leeds wrapping presents, helping deliver presents, bringing food donations, buying toys, hopefully we can achieve it. Were you surprised by the response . Yes. This year has been really tough love the people and we wanted to give people the opportunity to spend christmas together, having food and hopefully opening presents, we anticipated lots of sign ups and there are still people trying, we knew they would be a huge demand. What have people search . We got a car yesterday from somebody who said she used the food to feed one of her neighbours who had cancer and she said she will be able to turn the heating on during the Christmas Period by getting this food, so we know the impact this will have. You really are like yorkshires on 30 something you might need to work on your be a little better. You are really like yorkshires answer to santa. 0ver like yorkshires answer to santa. Over the next 23 days hundreds of volu nteers over the next 23 days hundreds of volunteers will deliver 13,000 hampers, almost 600 each day. think this santas sleigh will come in very handy.
