captainjoe root thinks so as he urges his side to bring that fighting spirit from sydney to hobart. good afternoon. in the last hour, the prime minister has offered his heartfelt apologies over attending a drinks gathering in the garden at number 10 in may 2020. borisjohnson told mps during prime minister's questions that the garden in downing st was seen as an extension of the office and he thought the gathering was a work event. at the time, across the uk, meeting more than one person outside your household was not allowed — and workers were told to reduce the number of people they spent time with in a work setting. mrjohnson said that, even if the party was technically within the guidelines, he understood that millions of people wouldn't see it that way. the labour leader sir keir starmer accused mrjohnson of having run out of road after months of deceit and deception, and said he should consider his resignation. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports on a dramatic pmqs. did you lie about the parties, prime minister?

conservative mps as he should have done the several weeks ago rather than allowing all of this to continue. the prime minister himself got more and more dragged into the scandal and there will be some who feel that it came out today forced to apologise simply because of the weight of opinion amongst his own mps and the public. it is worth looking at that apology. he is not admitting that he necessarily broke the guidelines. he seems to be saying that he went out into the garden for 25 minutes and what he should have done was sent everybody else back in. in some senses he is still trying to insulate himself from all of that. still talking about waiting for the results of that independent inquiry. the early reaction from conservative mps is that this is a start, that it is right he has come out, he has tried to deal with this in a better way. handling of all of this has left many conservative mps in despair. the longer term issue about his character, the attacks on his character, the attacks on his character, notjust keir starmer, what other colleagues say about it, but as a more difficult problem. the eminent danger if you like, conservative mps who have the power to get rid of the prime minister, they may be satisfied for now. when it comes to the voters that is a different matter and he will have to see how that plays out in the coming months. ~., , see how that plays

which owns british gas — has told the bbc that the high demand for gas was partly driven by many countries moving away from coal and oil. our business correspondent ramzan karmali has more. it is a stark warning today from the boss of the country's biggest energy supplier. higher bills could be with us for some time to come. i can simply look at what the market says at the moment and the market suggests that high gas prices will be here for the next 18 months to two years. the reason behind higher bills is down to what is happening in the wholesale market. across the world, as pandemic restrictions eased, the demand for gas soared. late last year, prices were nine times greater than normal and still remain a lot higher than usual. but the boss of british gas believes there are ways to lower our bills. there are three things we outline you could do which will take away half of this price increase. one is to defer the cost of the supplier, which is £100. another is to take vat off the bills, temporarily or permanently. that is for government. that is another £100. and then there are green levies on bills of around about £175. even though many have seen their bills rise, a large number have been protected by the energy price cap, which is the maximum rate suppliers can charge for a default tariff. but that will be reassessed next month by the regulator ofgem. we are going to see an enormous rise in the energy price cap. it is the biggest that there has ever been in the price cap history and it will amount to something like £60 a month for customers, and that is immediately from april. so a lot of households cannot weather that kind of storm, which is why government needs to act. some in the industry believe support needs to be provided to energy firms via loans or a fund. but not british gas. any relief should be targeted at energy customers. it should not be for energy companies. what we have got to recognise is that customers have to pay a fair price for their energy. a fund like that could work if you could guarantee that prices will fall. but nobody knows what energy prices will do in the future. the government has said it is ready to act quickly, but many are already seeing a big rise in the cost of living. ramzan karmali, bbc news. the introduction of a type of smart motorway — which uses the hard shoulder as a permanent lane for traffic — is to be paused because of safety concerns. the motorways are designed to increase capacity and so ease congestion — but critics say they have contributed to road deaths. new projects will be put on hold, and for now hard shoulders will not be reinstated. our transport correspondent katy austin has more. smart motorways. there are hundreds of miles of them across england, and plans for more. the point of smart motorways is to reduce congestion using technology, instead of having to build any new road. but the type that involves permanently removing the hard shoulder to create an extra lane for traffic is controversial. they do have emergency bays, and if a vehicle stops in a live lane a red x sign can be displayed to close it. but one driver told us he feared for his life when his car developed serious engine problems. people were sounding their horns, there were three near—misses — one of which was an articulated truck, as in nearly rear—ending me. i got out of the car, i got over the crash barrier, i dialled 999 after about five to ten minutes because the lane was still operational — the cameras hadn't picked it up. the government now says it will put the brakes on the hard shoulder being scrapped on any more smart motorways, while more safety data is collected. work already under way will be finished with additional safety features. nearly n early £40 0 nearly £400 million is being provided for more emergency areas. they should have been narrowed in the first place and haven't been so that work has to be done and monitored and our committee will be looking at all of this to make sure it occurs. this is one of the control centres where national highways monitors our main roads. it says actions already being taken include rolling out radar technology to detect stranded vehicles. we know that people are legitimately concerned about the safety of using smart motorways. we are convinced that smart motorways are safe, but we know there's more we can do to convince people that they are safe, which is why we've implemented these measures. campaigners do not accept that removing hard shoulders can ever be safe. this women's husband died

austin, bbc news. the tennis star novak djokovic has admitted mistakes were made on his immigration forms for entering australia. he also said he'd made an error ofjudgement by agreeing to meet a journalist for an interview — after he knew he'd tested positive for covid—19. the serbian player is still waiting to hear if his visa will be withdrawn before he can defend his title at the australian open. from melbourne shaimaa khalil reports. hard at work in the hot australian sun. but, at the same time novak djokovic was on the tennis court training, he released a statement on his social media accounts. the world number one had a lot to say about questions over the past few days. still in dispute is when djokovic knew he had covid—19. it is important, because an infection is the reason he was granted a vaccine exemption and allowed to travel to australia. today, the tennis star said he found out on december the 17th, hours after attending a tennis event with children in belgrade. but this conflicts with a sworn affidavit given to the australian courts that he tested positive for the virus a day earlier. crucially, he also admitted to giving false information, saying, "on the issue of my travel declaration, this was submitted by my support team on my behalf, as i told immigration officials on my arrival, and my agent sincerely apologises for the administrative mistake. " all these details are significant because australia's immigration minister is still deciding whether novak djokovic will be deported. his lawyers have now given extra information to the authorities and these revelations are throwing up more questions than answers. in another admission that does nothing for his reputation, djokovic revealed he did an interview with the french sports publication l'equipe after he knew he had the virus and had taken off his mask for a photo shoot. he accepted it was an error ofjudgment. novak djokovic is still determined to defend his title in the australian open. but the information he shared today seems to have added to the uncertainty of whether this will happen. shaimaa khalil, bbc news. an arrest has been made in the unsolved murders of three british family members and a french cyclist who were shot dead in the alps in 2012. saad al—hilli, his wife iqbal, and her mother, suhaila al—allaf, were killed as they drove through the french alps. their two daughters survived the attack. nato and russia have been holding their first face—to—face talks in two years in brussels — as tensions remain high over the build—up of around 100,000 russian troops on the border with ukraine. talks between the us and russia took place in geneva earlier this week without a breakthrough. our defence correspondent jonathan beale is in brussels. is anything likely to come out of these talks today? we have just been told those talks have now broken up having lasted longer than originally planned. four hours. in some western diplomats ahead of the talks were concerned that russia would walk out but that did not happen but both sides also expressed little optimism that they would make up their differences and essentially the key differences are that russia wants a guarantee from nato but it will not expand east and include countries like ukraine. nato say that is a nonstarter and they want russia to pull that tens of thousands of troops back from ukraine border and that has not happened. so we are going to hear from the nato secretary general in the next few minutes and only then will we get an indication as to whether there is even a glimmer of hope that diplomacy might work. as i said i think there was a lot of doubt that it would but that said there is still some hope it appears here. , ., . . there is still some hope it appears here. ., ., �* ., ., , ., our top story this lunchtime. an apology from borisjohnson — who breaks his silence to admit attending a �*work event�* in the 10 downing st garden in may 2020 — when the uk was in lockdown. 500 former teachers in england have signed up to return to work to help tackle staff shortages caused by covid. coming up on the bbc news channel. novak djokovic admits he met with a journalist when he knew he'd tested positive for covid — but blames his agent for mistakes on his immigration forms as australia continues to consider his deportation. many hospitals in the uk have started the new year with an increase in covid patients. university hospital coventry is among those feeling the pressure on its services, as it deals with the usual winter surge as well as additional staff shortages. panorama's jane corbin, who spent time on its wards during the earlier waves of the pandemic, has returned to find out what has changed. hospital university coventry. i've been filming here for panorama since before christmas. it's one of the midlands' largest hospitals, with a thousand beds, serving more than a million people. we are under immense pressure again today. with this area being overfull. we've got patients waiting to be seen. the hospital has been experiencing a shortage of beds and staff. january is always really, really tough in the nhs and we do see situations like this most januarys. however, it feels slightly different this time predominately because of the impact that covid and covid related absences are having on our staff. two years into the pandemic, it is adding to the pressures typically caused by a surge in demand during winter. the greatest burden is on the respiratory wards which are full of covid patients. so even before christmas we were having 45, 46 patients at a time in hospital. right now this morning we have 175 in hospital. so the numbers have trebled or quadrupled, should i say, very quickly. over the christmas period, hospital admissions of people with covid across the uk more than doubled. they are less unwell as compared to how unwell they were last year. we had 160, 170 patients at that stage. but we had so many more in intensive care. in intensive care, the number of seriously ill covid patients is also rising, but more slowly than last year. maria fletcher is recovering here after being taken ill just after christmas. i got a cough which got worse and worse. and then the next morning my husband tried to get me up early to go to the bathroom and he said i was totally unresponsive. do you think it was omicron that caused this, the new variant? my feeling is yes. because i have been fullyjabbed, we all have at home. i think, what would i have been like if i hadn't done that? 10,000 people work in coventry hospital. the numbers off sick because of covid arising. staffing levels have been very badly affected. that is medical staff, nursing staff or other support staff. infection is rife. 30% of our pharmacy staff are off. yesterday we had so many junior doctors go off. because they were testing positive. after two years of covid, the fight goes on. jane corbin, bbc news, coventry. and you can watch panorama, the nhs vs covid: the fight goes on on bbc one at 7.30pm. the high court has ruled that the government's use of a so—called �*vip lane' to award contracts for personal protective equipment to two companies was unlawful. during the first wave of the pandemic, the department of health agreed deals worth a total of more than 590 million pounds with a pest control firm and a hedge fund, which campaigners argued were prioritised because of their connections. the government says around 500 former teachers in england have signed up to return to work to help tackle staff shortages caused by covid. the latest figures show that one in 12 teachers were off work at the end of last week. ministers have urged people with teaching experience to temporarily return to the profession. our education correspondent elaine dunkley has more. it's 7am, and the phones haven't stopped ringing. just let you know we've got some work tuesday... schools across the midlands desperate for supply staff. i'll have a look and i'll ring you back. we are the busiest we have ever been. from caretakers through to teachers, this recruitment agency has supplied staff to 700 schools, and the bookings are still coming in. there's just not enough teachers out there and teaching assistants out there. if you are a head teacher calling us at seven o'clock, you are going to struggle. and that is just the reality we are faced with. this is mayfield school in birmingham. staffing is in crisis because of covid. all the children here have special educational needs. every class has at least i would say two or three agency members of staff. we have had to shut classrooms. the young people have got very complex medical needs, very complex learning presentations and styles. so you can'tjust find an agency memberjust to cover them. that has a massive impact on the young person. i can't see us getting through this term without any more class closures. i think the worst bit for me is coming into a new class every day and just trying to get to grips with how each child is. we have an agency staff in here now, and she is a nice teacher and once you get to know the person, it's nice to hear their story from where they come from. like what other school they come from. initial data published by the government from around 10% of supply agencies suggest that 495 former teachers in england have signed up to return to classrooms. teaching unions are warning it's not enough. so what sort of thing are you looking at? for this retired head teacher there are concerns around covid. i think it's more there's a bit of anxiety, there would be anxiety particularly amongst older professionals about going into schools again when they see the headlines about lack of ventilation, etc. risks that they would have to put themselves in. for many schools, it has been a stressful start of term. back at the agency, more challenges to deal with. some of our supply staff themselves are calling us back up and saying they have done a lateral flow test in the morning and they themselves are positive. you can imagine the pressure of that. good afternoon. demand for emergency cover is increasing, with supply staff in very short supply. elaine dunkley, bbc news. rugby league legend kevin sinfield has received an obe for services to sport and charity. he received the award from the duke of cambrdige at windsor castle. he has raised millions of pounds for motor neurone disease charities following the diagnosis of former leeds rhinos team mate rob burrow. britain's population of red squirrels are endangered and protected by law. but new research suggests some of our efforts to conserve their numbers could be causing more harm than good. the planting of large, non—native conifer plantations, intended to help the squirrels, could actually be undermining their survival. our correspondent sarah campbell has more. they are one of the best loved species in the country and under threat of extinction conservationists has spent years trying to save the red squirrel. one key strategy has been the promotion of three forests. red squirrels are thought to be better able to eat the seed cones than their rivals the grey squirrel. but a study in northern ireland has found that these non—native conifer forests could actually be detrimental to the red squirrel populations. the result say it is due to the hungry time martin, a school predator which is less alternative food to eat in a tent forest than a much more diverse native woodland. so tent forest than a much more diverse native woodland.— native woodland. so you have lots of re and native woodland. so you have lots of prey and refuges _ native woodland. so you have lots of prey and refuges for _ native woodland. so you have lots of prey and refuges for the _ native woodland. so you have lots of prey and refuges for the squirrels i prey and refuges for the squirrels but in conifer plantations which are simplified and generally single species you like these characteristics and so on his habitats the pine marten becomes dominant. �* ., , ., dominant. added to this, in native woodlands were _ dominant. added to this, in native woodlands were both _ dominant. added to this, in native woodlands were both red - dominant. added to this, in native woodlands were both red and i dominant. added to this, in native woodlands were both red and grey squirrels are present the pine marten but there is an easy lunch which is good news for the red squirrel. which is good news for the red su uirrel. , . which is good news for the red sauirrel. , . , ., ., squirrel. they are smaller and li . hter squirrel. they are smaller and lighter and — squirrel. they are smaller and lighter and they _ squirrel. they are smaller and lighter and they get _ squirrel. they are smaller and lighter and they get to - squirrel. they are smaller and lighter and they get to places| squirrel. they are smaller and i lighter and they get to places in the woods where the pine marten cannot follow and so they have a better chance of surviving and keeping things in balance. according to the wildlife _ keeping things in balance. according to the wildlife trust _ keeping things in balance. according to the wildlife trust conifer - to the wildlife trust conifer forests have allowed red squirrel population to grow and thrive and of course provide much—needed timber. the research suggests that the more native broadleaf forest there are the more that we are likely to see red squirrels. time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. we are in a quiet weather pattern for the foreseeable future now thanks to high pressure. many places will be dry and settled with some sunshine around. any problems with frost and fog affecting england and wales. further north we have more clout around as you can see on the
