More details for you in about 15 minutes. Its saturday, 9th january. Our top story people in england are being urged to behave like they are infected with coronavirus as part of a new Public Awareness campaign encouraging people to stick to the rules. The message, which will be shared on tv, radio and social media, comes as the uk reported the highest daily death toll since the start of the pandemic. Our correspondent dan johnson has more. Covid 19, especially the new variant, is spreading quickly across the country. This puts many people at risk of serious disease. A new campaign with a clear message. Once more, we must all stay home. These stark warnings come in response to the intense pressure on hospitals, which are getting close to capacity, especially in london and the south east. Londons mayor declared a Major Incident yesterday, saying the virus was out of control. Many doctors are frustrated. saying the virus was out of control. Many doctors are frustrated. I am very worried that we have reached the peak and we are really not seeing the kind of behaviour that we saw in the first wave. And i and many of my colleagues in medicine are extremely worried that the peak, this wave, is just going to carry on rising and rising and we will reach a point where the nhs simply wont be able to cope with it. Yesterdays record figures showed 1325 people died within 28 days of a positive covid test, the most in a single day during the entire pandemic. The total number of deaths now stands up just short of 80,000. There are more record figures. Another 68,000 cases we re record figures. Another 68,000 cases were recorded yesterday, and 31,621; patients are being treated in hospitals across the uk. Ali is one of them. Her whole family tested positive on christmas day. Of them. Her whole family tested positive on christmas daylj of them. Her whole family tested positive on christmas day. I was fine, healthy, young family, just getting on with my life, and this has completely floored me. I was told two days ago that if they didnt put me on a ventilator i would die. I have seen two people die in the beds on either side of me while i have been in this hospital. One in three people with covid dont show symptoms, so the messages, act like you have the virus and dont go out, dont mix with people. There are signs that policing of the rules will get tougher with government sources saying the time for engaging, explaining and encouraging is now over, giving way to more strict enforcement. The next few weeks look bad. Vaccines give clear hope for the future, but for now we must all stay home, protect the nhs and save lives. Dan johnson, bbc news. Twitter says it has permanently banned President Trump from the site following a review of his account. The social media platform said that his tweets were highly likely to encourage more violence. Our north america correspondent david willis joins us now from los angeles. They had given a warning, youre absolutely right. It is bizarre, the most powerful man in the world no longer has access to one of his most treasured assets. His twitter account. Donald trump of course once described himself as the hemingway of 140 characters. He said he didnt need the Mainstream Media here, he could talk directly to his supporters, and that he has been doing, 88 million of them, for many yea rs. Doing, 88 million of them, for many years. Twitter, citing what it cold the risk of further incitement of violence, has now permanently closed down Donald Trumps twitter account and there was a bizarre contest of whack a mole tonight, because the president attempted, in the absence of his own account, to pop up on other accounts. The white house official account among them committed to voice his displeasure about twitters decision and to mention he is now considering setting up his own social media outlets. Well, it is difficult to imagine one that will give him quite as much access to the great public here than twitter, but nonetheless, mist and here than twitter, but nonetheless, mistand trump here than twitter, but nonetheless, mist and trump are very dismayed, by all accounts, about this. Meanwhile the democrats are pushing ahead with attem pts the democrats are pushing ahead with atte m pts to the democrats are pushing ahead with attempts to remove him from office, the House Speaker nancy pelosi saying today that if donald trump does not resign, she will seek to invoke what is cold the 25th amendment or go for his impeachment, which would mean that he is the only president on record to be impeached twice in his presidency. Extraordinary times in the United States at the moment. Thank you very much, david willis. People are being warned to stay vigilant about scams in which criminals offer Covid Vaccines for a fee. In one case, a pensioner was injected with a fake covid 19 vaccine and charged £160 by a man pretending to be a health worker. People have also been sent Text Messages taking them to a fake nhs website with a booking link. Breakfasts Jayne Mccubbin reports. Moments before this image was captured, this man injected a 92 year old with a fake Covid Vaccine. He claimed to be from the nhs. And then administered a jab in the arm, what has been described as a data like instrument, charged £160, took the money from the lady, and then disappeared. And just to add insult to that injury, then we attended several days later to try to solicit an extra £100. So this has been a horrendous experience for the victim. It is not known what was injected into the pensioner, but a hospital check found her unharmed. This is an absolutely distaff disgusting crime. It is unacceptable, assault, fraud, and it will not be tolerated. We will do everything we can to try to track down and catch this person before they carry out this offence on anyone else.

It is not just a small group. One in three people, in our research, have targeted by some form of covid related scams since the pandemic began. Today police advised that nobody from official Vaccination Programmes will ever turn up unannounced. They will never ask the bank details. And nobody will ever be charged for the vaccine.

Forecast in a moment, but first a quick look at the inside pagesm was quite a bit around yesterday about how much tv we are all watching. A couple of stories about that. Just mindful of this number, i mean, who knows how much, it varies across households, but one suggestion here is that 28 hours of tva suggestion here is that 28 hours of tv a week, in particular, during the pandemic. What do you think, rachel. Is that feel about right . Four hours a day . The average british person which is 28 hours every seven days. Four hours a day, isnt that right . I dont trust my maths. Seven times four is 28. The thing is, i dont watch four hours of television a day, but my children probably make up day, but my children probably make upfor day, but my children probably make up for the time that i dont watch. It probably makes up. It sounds about right, actually. Especially if you get involved in a binge session of something you are watching. The other thing were talking about todays compliance with the rules after the case of the two women who are fine for five miles from their home to go for a walk together and also for taking coffee or tea with them, in mugs, which the police that was basically a picnic. Dublin should police have actually said they are going to review those fines, because yesterday, there was a surprisingly large number of people who supported double sure police, people getting in touch on social media responding to this. U nfortu nately, says social media responding to this. Unfortu nately, says chris, social media responding to this. Unfortunately, says chris, who works in the nhs, i only feel like some high profile fines for what people see as minor breaches the only thing that will make people ta ke only thing that will make people take notice of change behaviour which we in the nhs need. One of the problems of course is that it is on what local means, in how you are allowed to travel. And in this case, youve got Police Officers who took one position on it, and they will be others that take a different position. We will talk about that later on. I would like to travel there, where helen s. Later on. I would like to travel there, where helen s. |j later on. I would like to travel there, where helen s. I thought you meant here, and i was going to say, no, you cant, youre not allowed to live on your position on the sofa. Hello, helen. We didnt have the amounts of snow we had on the once in 30 year event in spain but we still had considerable amounts of snow falling yesterday across Northern England and north wales. Not as much snow falling today but it is still utterly cold out there and frosty and they will be some freezing fog around. Ill storm philomena, that is the storm that brought the snow to spain, still warnings out. Quite significant amounts of snow. The snow we will get will be across the north mainly. The stories about how cold it will be, Northern Ireland, the coldest day for about a decade and my nest ten or 11 day for about a decade and my nest ten or11 in day for about a decade and my nest ten or 11 in parts of scotland, too, under the starry sky. My nest. Freezing fog is an issue. Minus. Really grey and leak. The other difference today is we have a weather front moving in off the atla ntic weather front moving in off the atlantic so slightly increasing our temperatures. We may see highs of six or seven for the north west of scotland, but with it, some snow over the hills, of course, even at lower levels. Northern ireland seeing more snow compared with yesterday. Gradually the weather front sinks further southwards overnight so a smattering of wintry weather, not as cold as a result because we have got more cloud but still getting a frost to the north of it and certainly so to the south where again we could have some freezing fog patches boasting on sunday morning. The High Pressure slipped further south tomorrow. First thing. Hopefully we will see more sunshine coming through in the south tomorrow. Further north, still the weather front around and still bringing in more cloud and rain off the atlantic and a brisk wind in across the north as well although temperatures still higher, still feeling on the chilly side. Four 5 3 further south and we havent had that all week, it has been bitterly cold. Fouror that all week, it has been bitterly cold. Four or five. That all week, it has been bitterly cold. Four orfive. It wont that all week, it has been bitterly cold. Four or five. It wont be as cold as it has been for the last two or three weeks next week, things will store a little, but u nfortu nately, will store a little, but unfortunately, with the thaw taking place and further weather fronts, we start to concern ourselves with the risk of flooding. There are warnings out for rain already for the north and west of the uk for. By monday and west of the uk for. By monday and tuesday, some uncertainty as to how far south of the weather fronts will get thejob look how far south of the weather fronts will get the job look at the temperatures are positively mild compared to what we have been used to certainly for what we have got this morning was up that it might be that we see a dip in those two bridges once again towards the end of the week. But as i say, watching out for ice this morning and for some freezing fog on what looks to be yet another cold weekend. Thanks very much. It is icy out there, be wary of that. Now its time for click. Hey, welcome to click. Happy new year . I hope you got some respite and a bit of a break recently. Lara lewington hello, how are you . Im good, thanks, all things considered. Any new years resolutions your end . Absolutely not. Dont do resolutions, that means i cant break them. I tell you what, ive decided to stay at home more and watch more tv. Whats your plans for the next few weeks . I think ill have a quiet start to the year and then, well, i guess we can only hope. But, in the meantime, if youre having that january wa nting to get fit feeling, then of course it is going to be a bit harder than usual this year but you could take advantage of some of the tech platforms that did really well last year. They certainly benefited from the at home exercise boom. One of those companies is zwift, a virtual cycling platform whose subscribers are now in the millions.

Its popularity has soared during the pandemic and now it has more than 3 million subscribers. By putting a normal everyday bike on a smart trainer basically a treadmill for a bike with a bluetooth connection a riders real life physical output is converted into a moving avatar. In zwift, the resistance levels automatically change depending on gradients and conditions, and theres a whole host of other tech that can help add to the realism. The more advanced trainers simulate going over cobbles or through dirt tracks and there are even fans that can match the wind speed to how fast youre cycling. But, once youre plugged in, all you need to do is start pedalling. You canjoin a group ride, do a workout or simply cruise around some of the best routes in the world with maps, stats and data. So, to see what all the fuss was about, i thought id get stuck in. The plan, to get fit enough so that in five weeks, i could take part in a race on zwift. And, in order to do that, i recruited matt rowe, a professional cycling coach who trains people through zwift. It is the future, for sure, for training, and thats for amateur cyclists, who have four or five hours a week, right through to professional ranks. For indoor training, the benefits i
