In the latest office for National Statistics survey, one in 80 people in england were thought to have coronavirus, similar to the week before. In scotland it was one person in 155, and rates were levelling off.

Borisjohnson is facing questions about whether he tried to tone down an independent report, which found the home secretary broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. Downing street has insisted the conclusions of sir alex allans investigation were entirely his own. Priti patel apologised yesterday for upsetting people. Our Political Correspondent jess parker reports. Portsmouth is on the upside. Yeah. Standing by her, borisjohnson says he has full confidence in priti patel and considers the matter close, after an independent report found her approach had on occasions amounted to behaviour that could be described as bullying, with evidence, it said, of shouting and swearing. I am sorry my behaviour has upset people. I have never intentionally set out to upset anybody. I work with thousands of brilliant Civil Servants every single day, and we work together, day in and day out, to deliver on the agenda of this government. And im absolutely sorry for anybody i have upset. The report said pretty good priti patel had legitimately not always felt supported at the home office and there was no evidence she had been aware of the impact of her behaviour. But the Prime Ministers independent advice on ministerial standards, so alex allen, concluded she had breached the minute ministerial code, even if unintentionally. Boris johnson disagreed, and as Prime Minister has the final say. I mean, the system does make the Prime Ministerjudge and jury. But does make the Prime Ministerjudge andjury. But in does make the Prime Ministerjudge and jury. But in the past, Prime Ministers have always acted when there has been a breach of the ministerial code, and that is why innocence this is a much more serious moment than previous ones because the Prime Minister seems to have gone against what would have happened in the past, and that does mean that you wonder what the value of the ministerial code is. Now a whitehall source says that sir alex allen had resisted pressure to make the report more palatable. A separate source told the bbc there we re separate source told the bbc there were discussions in the summer between sir alex and borisjohnson about the challenges the report was entered. A downing street spokesperson said that, as you would expect, the Prime Minister spoke to sir alex allen to further his understanding of the report, but that sir alexs conclusions were entirely his own. Jessica parker, bbc news. Theres been more setbacks to Donald Trumps efforts to overturn the result of the us president ial election. Georgia has certified joe bidens win in the state, whilst Senior Republicans in michigan say theyve seen no information that would overturn mr bidens victory there. Our north america correspondent david willis joins us now. So, when you look at the messages coming out from these various states, it is only going in one direction, and yet, mist and trump, his message stays the same . Absolutely. And Donald Trumps attem pts absolutely. And Donald Trumps atte m pts to absolutely. And Donald Trumps attempts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election are starting to look increasingly desperate. As you mentioned that, he summoned a delegation of republican lawmakers from the swing state of michigan to the white house today, presumably it is thought widely, anyway, as part ofan is thought widely, anyway, as part of an attempt that he has made to convince localjudges and Election Officials to overturn the results in that swing state. Joe biden on the state of michigan by more than 155,000 votes, but it does not appear to have worked. At least based on a statement that those Michigan Republican lawmakers released after the meeting with mist and trump at the white house. They said that they would act accordingly according to the law when it came to certifying the vote in that state, and they saw no reason at the moment to overturn the outcome. As i say, donald trump is increasingly crushed grasping at straws, it would seem, and there is talk you might try to get republican lawmakers from another swing state, pennsylvania, to the white house in the next few days as well. David, while all that is going on, coronavirus has come again close to President Trump and his family. This is Donald Trump Jr, President Trump and his family. This is donald trumer, news released about him . Thats right. He said today that he was quarantining in u pstate n ew today that he was quarantining in upstate new york, polishing his guns, upstate new york, polishing his upstate new york, polishing his guns, as he put it. But Donald Trump Jr is the second of donald trump as my children to have contracted the coronavirus, it is a virus that has killed more than 250,000 people here in the united states, and today, friday, that is, was the worst one day total of coronavirus cases since the pandemic began here. It is going to bea the pandemic began here. It is going to be a top priority and a big concern forjoe biden when he takes office in two months time. David, thanks very much. Borisjohnson will call on World Leaders to do more to tackle Climate Change and the pandemic at the g20 summit today. At the annual meeting of the worlds 20 largest economies, the Prime Minister is expected to stress the importance of fair access to vaccines. The summit is taking place virtually this year and will be hosted by saudi arabia for the first time. A procession of cars will drive through birmingham this afternoon to mark the 46th anniversary of a terrorist attack in the city. The birmingham pub mornings killed 21 people, and those responsible have never been brought to justice, as phil mackie reports. It is 46 years since bombs were set off in two busy pubs in Birmingham City centre. The carnage caused at the mulberry bush and the tavern in the mulberry bush and the tavern in the town left 21 dead, and more than 200 heard, many with life changing injuries. Although it is thought members of an ira soul were behind the attacks, nearly five decades later, it is not known exactly who was to blame. Ira cell. Today is about more than just the anniversary. It is about the growing campaignfora anniversary. It is about the growing campaign for a public enquiry, including new voices from a generation that was not even born backin generation that was not even born back in 1974. The home secretarys decision to consider a public enquiry has given campaigners new hope. There is always an element of hope, that is why we campaign. If we dont have hope there is no point in us dont have hope there is no point in us campaigning. We might as well give up. We will never give up, and we will never give up, we will never go away, untiljustice is seen to be done. Our loved ones are not here to fight forjustice done. Our loved ones are not here to fight for justice themselves. Done. Our loved ones are not here to fight forjustice themselves. We are their voice and we will continue to fight and their voice and we will continue to fightand campaign their voice and we will continue to fight and campaign until their voices are well and truly heard. Because of covid, this years Memorial Service had to be recorded before lockdown, and there cant be a large gathering at the memorial for the 21 who died. Instead, supporters are planning to drive in convoy around the city centre, more optimistic than they have been for many years. Phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. The chancellor, rishi sunak, will outline plans to boost funding for areas outside of london, at his first Spending Review next week. The move is part of the governments promise to level up opportunities across the uk. The treasury say there will be extra money for transport schemes, flood defences and faster broadband. A Small Business owner in essex has started legal action against google over fake reviews. Richard boatright says the posts have damaged his business, but google wont remove them saying it monitors content and obeys local laws. Angus crawford reports. Bad reviews can break a business. The hardest thing is, it was an invisible aggressor. They are anonymous, behind fake names, so you dont really know what to do. You feel quite helpless. Described as perfect and fully working but when we went to look at it the clutch was completely shot. Once the review is completely fabricated. Fake names. Google will not take them down. Keeping his car sales business going during covid has been hard, made even more stressful by the stream of bogus reviews, which google still refuses to ta ke reviews, which google still refuses to take down. It is the same response every time, but it does not contravene their policies, they are very solid sorry and they are going to leave it there. We provided them with Firm Information which shows that these reviews are com pletely shows that these reviews are completely fake, fabricated, that the people that supposedly are leading them dont exist, and they are not leading them dont exist, and they a re not interested leading them dont exist, and they are not interested whatsoever. Google uses post 20,000,000 reviews each day. Well, they can bring a business to its knees, if you have a mass attack, somebody using multiple google accounts to attack a business, then it destroys their reputation in the matter of hours. The company told us the vast majority of reviews are helpful, releva nt majority of reviews are helpful, relevant and authentic, and insists it monitors closely for content that violates our policies 20 47. We know that bad reviews can destroy a business. But what about all the good ones . Are they everything they appear to good ones . Are they everything they appearto be . Imagine good ones . Are they everything they appear to be . Imagine for a moment you want to get out of your timeshare. You might come to this business. Welcome, from the Timeshare Termination Team uk. We found 5 star Google Reviews from heavy customers, but are they really . There that picture is actually of a government minister in tanzania. How about david . No, he didnt write that one either. Never heard of them time to give them a call. Some of them have never heard of you. There is no evidence the company has done anything wrong, and it says it has now launched an investigation. As for richard, in his fight against fakes, he is now taking legal action against google. A final attempt to set the record straight. Angus crawford, bbc news. It isa it is a really interesting subject, but. Businesses like that, they rely on goodwill. So damaging. Yeah. We will talk about it later in the programme. Lets take a look at some of todays papers. Virus jabs for all by april reads the headline on the front of todays daily mirror. The paper shows a leaked timeline of a Covid Vaccination rollout. It also quotes union bosses who say the Health Secretary is unlikely to deliver on the plans. The express also leads on the leaked timetable, and reports on Matt Hancocks comments that the vaccine will be administered from as soon as next month if it is approved. Meanwhile, the telegraph says family meet ups could be on the cards this christmas. The paper quotes government plans which it says are due to be announced early next week. Heres chris with a look at this mornings weather. I hope you are both well. Good morning to you at home. Looking at a mixture of weather around this weekend. For most of us, it will be turning cooler is that weekend goes by and good reason for that, this line of cloud, a cold front which will be pushing its way southwards as we move through this today and into sunday as well. As we go through the next couple of days, this cold air will be arriving across this cold air will be arriving a cross m ost this cold air will be arriving across most but perhaps not all of the uk. Otherwise, the cold air will be arriving for all of us. Looking at the weather picture this morning, at the weather picture this morning, a lot of cloud across england and wales, some patchy drizzle in parts of sussex and kent that appear as our cold front, bringing rain. Across scotland and Northern Ireland, sunshine and blustery showers. A cold and gusty wind as well today for equally strong in the Shetland Isles where gus are currently running at 65 mph. Gusts. Cold air arriving with temperatures dropping little bit as we go through the afternoon. Overnight, the cold front is bringing cloud, damp and drizzly weather. Behind it, the skies clear for northern wales, much of the midland and Northern England. Further showers and lottery wins for scotla nd further showers and lottery wins for scotland and Northern Ireland. Quite a cold night when you factor in the strength of the wind so a chilly start of the day on sunday across these Northern Areas of it is a day of sunshine and showers again for scotla nd of sunshine and showers again for scotland and Northern Ireland. Showers not hanging around in any one place for any length of time given strength of the wind. The far south potentially staying cloudy with patches of drizzle coming and going. Probably the best of the weather for Northern England, going. Probably the best of the weatherfor Northern England, north wales, parts of the midlands and maybe southern eastern counties for Northern England as well. For monday, low pressure is going to be moving back to the north west of the uk, bringing outbreaks of rain and the wind turning to a south westerly direction so we have milder air spreading in as we start of the new week. With that, we will probably have a lot of low cloud around the hills of wales and some hill fog patches. Rain for scotland and Northern England. The temperatures are slowly coming up through the day so highs of about, still cool for a time across the north east. Milder weather will arrive for tuesday wednesday for all of us with a cold front moving back in across scotland and Northern Ireland mid again, dropping as bridges. Swings in temperatures temperatures. Cold air arriving for most of us this weekend. Back to you both. Chris, thank you, see you later run. Later on. Now on breakfast, its time for the film review. Hello, and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode rounding up the best movies available for viewing in cinemas and in the home. The disaster movie is one of cinemas most enduring genres. From the fire and brimstone of early biblical epics like the ten commandments, through 30s classics like in old chicago and san francisco, to the 70s heyday of towering inferno and earthquake, and onto such 21st century offerings as the day after tomorrow. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most extraordinary, exciting, and unforgettable experience available on this planet. Now into this long tradition comes skyfire, a chinese film shot in malaysia with a british director, turkish american composer, and an anglo asian cast quite the cultural melting pot. Jason isaacs plays the sinister entrepreneur who builds a hotel on the side of a volcano, which he is certain wont erupt for at least another 150 years. Hannah quinlivan is the volcanologist who lost her mother to molten lava many years ago, and has dedicated her life to mapping volcanic activity of which inevitably there is a lot. With everything thats going on in the world at the moment, we can all be forgiven for craving some big, silly entertainment. And entertainment doesnt come much bigger or sillier than skyfire. From the moment a sinisterly purple suited jason isaacs declares in a comedy south african accent that. Were all going to be fine. You know that no one is going to be fine. On the contrary this is all going to end badly, which is entirely appropriate since it also starts badly and middles badly. Lifting rifts from krakatoa east ofjava and dantes peak, and ripping its plot so thoroughly off a Steven Spielberg dinosaur movie, they might as well have called it jurassic spark. Running the gamut of every disaster movie cliche imaginable, skyfire delivers a series of cheesy, emotional peaks and troughs explained by dialogue that appears to have been written by a speak spell machine, and interspersed every few minutes with another massive explosion and rain of fire. To be clear skyfire is not a good movie. In fact, in many ways, its a very bad movie. But watching this preposterous tosh which briefly topped the Chinese Box Office last year and is available on dvd and digital here from monday i found myself grinning from ear to ear at the sheer cavalcade of utter nonsense. Whatever the flaws of skyfire, i enjoyed it a lot more than hillbilly elegy, which is now on netflix and provides a timely reminder that awards season is officially upon us. Mores the pity. I told you that i would do better. You always say that, youre lying and i am always trying you gotta think about these kids. What do you think ive been thinking about since i was 18 years old . Never had a life where it wasnt thinking about the kids adapted by screenwriter Vanessa Taylor and director ron howard from the 2016 memoir byjd vance, the story is divided between vances memories of his hill Country Roots and childhood in ohio, and his fish out of water awkwardness at a posh scale dinner where he doesnt know which fork to use. What brings these story lines together is news thatjds violently unpredictable mum, bev, is in the hospital after taking an overdose. Although, as played by amy adams, she seems to have od ed on the same give me an award acting pills that Renee Zellweger swallowed for cold mountain. Who, huh, who . you . meanwhile, glenn close sports historically accurate yet somehow still caricatured mrs brady old lady glasses and frizzy hair asjds grandma a fearsome figure who teaches him life lessons whilst sporting a range of t shirts that seem to have been pre owned by mike tyson. Theres been much debate about the politics of vances source memoir, which have been widely discussed in terms of understanding the rise of donald trump. But when it comes to the movie, the real question is, how can something so packed with fights, overdoses, punch ups and triumph over adversity struggles be quite so boring . Why is it that, despite the presence of talents like adams and close, i never thought i was watching anything other than actors acting a pantomime imitation of life . The fault, i think, lies in howards direction, which is simultaneously overcooked and underdone a series of inert set pieces that scream for our attention while leaving us utterly unmoved. Worth noting too that, despite its oscar bait credentials, hillbilly elegy has already drawn the kind of savage reviews that could well scupper its awards chances. It may be based on real life, but nothing about this very contemporary drama rings true. Indeed, if its the truth youre after, youre much better off turning to a documentary. In 2015, a fire at the collectiv nightclub in bucharest resulted in the deaths of more than 60 people many of whom died in hospital of bacterial infections. Thanks to an investigation, it emerged that disinfectants at those hospitals were being diluted for profit, while vast sums intended for health care were lining the pockets of the rich and powerful. This entire terrifying story and its fallout is brilliantly captured in collective a powerful and disturbing documentary by toto his sisters director, alexander nanau. From the appalling outbreak of the fire to the government resignations, threats, and deaths that followed, collective offers a uniquely intimate insight into an unfolding tragedy. A hotly tipped contender for the best documentary oscar, its also been selected as romanias entry for best international feature. Its harrowing stuff, taking an unflinching look at the human cost of systemic political corruption and shining a spotlight on those who are determined to uncover that corruption whatever the cost. At a time when certain prominent World Leaders are blithely calling the press the enemy of the people, collective reminds us of the crucial role of Investigative Journalism even when thatjournalism upsets those in power. This story may come from romania, but it has Urgent International appeal. You can find collective on a range of platforms like amazon, apple, and curzon, and in a few cinemas in scotland. This gay guy wanted me to find out whether another guy was gay. Was he . Yeah, a little bit. 0h. Thats nice. In the off puttingly entitled the Kid Detective, adam brody plays Abe Appelbaum a small town sleuth who was once a local hero, a preteen precociously cracking cases from his tree house. Were counting on you. I was so far ahead in the game. But one day, ijust woke up behind. Now hes a washed up has been, derailed by an unsolved missing girl mystery that hung heavy on his young shoulders. So when highschooler caroline asks abe to find out who killed her boyfriend, he spies a shot at redemption. Can he crack the case and prove others and himself that hes more than just a little boy lost in a big mans shirt . The directorial feature debut from evan morgan, this clearly owes a debt to such high school neo noirs as rian johnsons brick, or more recently tayarisha poes selah and the spades although for my money, its not as good as either of those films. Instead, its an entertainingly stylish, if ultimately a empty caper which starts out as a whimsical comedy, then mutates into something much darker without ever quite deciding just how funny or serious it actually wants to be. Hes lying. Beneath the tricksy surface, there are melancholy questions about what happens if school days really do turn out to be the best days of your life . A terrifying thought. But, like its antihero, the film seems uncertain how to handle that shift to adulthood, leaving it stranded uneasily between cynical, wisecracking comedy and something more elusively substantial. The Kid Detective is now playing in cinemas in scotland, wales, and Northern Ireland, and then in england after lockdown. Sometimes to get what you want, you have to not want what you want. Think about it. Ill leave you with news of something altogether more unexpected a belgian nudist tragicomedy. No, really. Set in a remote naturist campsite in the ardennes, patrick follows the titular son of the camps owners as he worries over the loss of first his hammer, and then his father. Meanwhile, others are involved in a covert attempt to seize control of the camp, taking advantage of a situation thats left patrick bothered and bewildered. The fact that all this plays out in the nude is the least remarkable thing about this beautifully deadpan drama from writer director tim mielants a veteran of such tv shows as Peaky Blinders and legion. As mielants says of his own experiences in a naturist campsite in the 80s, it wasnt the nudity, but the odd encounters with the strange individuals i came across that remained indelibly etched on my mind. The same is true of the film, which focuses on the internal struggles within this cloistered community, slipping dextrously between humour, pathos, and intrigue. Just as the cast ranges from acclaimed stage and screen actor pierre bokma the derekjacobi of dutch drama to new zealand comedian musician jemaine clement, so the tone shifts from sadness to absurdity in an instant. At the centre of it all is kevinjanssens an innocent with a touch of forrest gump who finds it impossible to meet the gaze of others, but who proves remarkably resilient in his grail like quest to find his hammer. It all adds up to a thoroughly unexpected and oddly moving comedy drama by turns funny, foolish, and strangely heartfelt. You can find patrick at the chapter cardiff and on digital, with Virtual Cinema partnerships in which half the fee goes to your local art house cinema. Thats it for this week. Thanks for watching the film review. Stay safe, and ill see you next week. You asked which of my friends had the most cake . Its an old trick. When you answer a question like that, your memory becomes extremely selective. Youre really telling me who you trust the least without even knowing it. Cool it only fails if you have a really fat friend. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. The nhs has started setting up coronavirus Vaccination Centres across the uk, with the hope of getting all adults vaccinated by the spring. With infection rates dropping and levelling off in all four nations, the government has asked the medical regulator to asses the Pfizer Biontech vaccine for uk use. Its hoped once approved, vaccinations can begin as soon as next month. Borisjohnson is facing questions about whether he tried to tone down an independent report, which found the home secretary, priti patel, broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. Downing street has insisted the conclusions of sir alex allans investigation were entirely his own. The home secretary apologised yesterday and said she had never intentionally set out to upset anyone. Donald trumps efforts to overturn the result of the president ial election have suffered further setbacks, this time from the states of georgia and michigan. Georgia has certified joe bidens win in the state, whilst Senior Republicans in michigan say theyve seen no information that would overturn mr bidens victory there. Donald trump is still refusing to concede. It is just up to it isjust up to 6 30am. We it is just up to 6 30am. We havent seen it is just up to 6 30am. We havent seen much of mike. Are you . Very good, thanks. Earlier this week we we re good, thanks. Earlier this week we were talking about the worries about heading the ball in football, and the concerns about what that might lead to in later life. There has now been more support for the likes of chris sutton, who has been campaigning. We will be speaking to him later today. Because we were looking, as well, about the frequency of those with dementia, who have played football, and that increased rate. Yes, that link. There are new calls for restrictions on heading in training following concerns over the number of former players suffering from dementia. The professional Footballers Association has asked clubs, leagues and the fa to create a strategy to measure, monitor and adapt training, whilst identifying protections that can make a difference to the Long Term Health of players. They also say a game wide strategy is urgently needed for dealing with neurodegenerative diseases in football. Iam i am amazed at the likes of nike and adidas having to come up with a ball, a training ball, heading training ball. We need to have a ball which is the same sort of weight, the same flight. But something with which we can still practice setting. Im not too sure that it practice setting. Im not too sure thatitis practice setting. Im not too sure that it is the heading of the ball but is the problem, i think it is more to do with the training. That is why im advocating that we get a ball, training ball, which could be used for heading practice. And will be getting the latest reaction at 7 30am. The premier League Returns today following the international break, with tottenham Managerjose Mourinho saying he wants answers from the england boss gareth southgate, after he revealed certain Club Managers were putting players under pressure to manage their international workloads. Mourinho also believes manchester citys Raheem Sterling will be fit enough to face spurs today, despite missing Englands Nations League matches in the past week with belgium and iceland because of injury. I would like him to say which are the coaches that put pressure on the players not to go. When eric dier left the National Team injured in the previous month when he didnt play two matches for tottenham. He needed a couple of weeks to recover. And he is going to play tomorrow. These are the Little Details that i think should explain to us all. Less than a month after winning a domestic and european double, exeter chiefs kicked off the defence of their premiership title with a comfortable 33 3 win at harlequins. quins led through an early penalty before sam simmonds here helped exeter to victory. That the first of his three tries at twickenham. Dave ewers and Stuart Townsend also went over in a bonus point win. Elsewhere, sale beat northampton saints 32 23. Switching codes, and defending champions st helens eased into the Super League Grand final. There was a brilliant solo try from Kevin Naiqama. He nicks the ball from the catalans dragons and sets off in a race up the field catch me if you can, and they couldnt, and he scored a hat trick too. 48 2 it finished, and saints will face wigan in the grand final next friday. Novak djokovic will face Dominic Thiem in the semi finals of the atp finals in london this afternoon. World number one djokovic sealed his place in the last four after beating Germanys Alexander Zverev in straight sets at the o2 arena. Djokovic is aiming to win the event for a record equalling sixth time, while rafael nadal whos looking for his first takes on Daniil Medvedev in the other semi. Now if youre inspired by the worlds top tennis players competing in the atp finals in london, and youre itching to get on court with your family or those in your bubble, well, you cant in england, as all the courts are closed. The government says for the latest lockdown to work, all Grassroots Sports had to be treated equally, but the Lawn Tennis Association says the sport is perfect for maintaining social distance. Ive been to clubs in hampshire this week to look at the impact on the grassroots game. Slipping and sliding on the wet leaves. Nick and penny bates are doing their best to rally their spirits, and tennis is key to their physical and Mental Health. But while they are allowed to knock about in this park in basingstoke, they are shut out from the proper surface in the Tennis Courts just beside. Well, its very frustrating, because we are in the same household, we can play tennis together in a car park, or indeed in the park here, but we cant play on a tennis court. That, to us, is very strange. Tennis on a tennis court, you are a good ten metres apart, and i think many of our age are missing it hugely. The tennis club here in basingstoke doesnt have membership. It relies purely on people like nick and penny coming and paying to play on court. Without them coming, there is no income. Now, after the struggles of the first lockdown they we re struggles of the first lockdown they were boosted by a surge of new players come here over the summer. The warriors now, after the second lockdown, will there such enthusiasm . In the worry is. Lockdown, will there such enthusiasm . In the worry is. Ive taken on three new tennis coaches, and then we lockdown. Unfortunately they are atonement about any income at the moment. So that is difficult. And we hope that people wont decide but actually, it isnt worth hanging on for, waiting for people to come back and play. We need to know that we are going to be able to open up again in december. The government says that while it understands tennis lends itself to social distancing, it had to be fair to all grassroots ports, and argued if you started opening the door to one and then another comedy lockdown would be less effective. And while it may be less effective. And while it may be some time before tennis sessions look like this again, the government has offered the Lawn Tennis Association £5 million in loans as pa Rt Association £5 million in loans as part of a multisport bailout. While clu bs part of a multisport bailout. While clubs like totally tennis can apply for a chunk of a separate public support package. You need a racket each and a ball. That could be some relief for assistant coach aisla, who hopes that the classes she did with her brother during lockdown will help keep Young Players she teaches once more. I understand, because i can be this close in college, but i cant be 78 feet away . Here, we make sure that our distance, we are sanitising their hands at the start and beyond, so why cant we do it . I miss seeing kids improvement seeing them smile. Hunter the dog may love the fact that olivia and eloise are forced to practise their skills at home again, but they missed the coaching and going today local course two. But they missed the coaching and going today local course twom but they missed the coaching and going today local course two. It is really not the same because you dont, if youve got a small garden, you cant really use the same space as you would in a tennis court. Lockdown may be a chance for some maintenance, but the lta remains concerned about the future of many indoor tennis centres, especially if they are not allowed to open in december. One of the problems with playing indoor tennis, december. One of the problems with playing indoortennis, keeping december. One of the problems with playing indoor tennis, keeping it going as a business, is that it is such a big area, now that is an advantage. Certainly our halls, where the air is circulating all the time, there is always a breeze in it. We are fortunate here, we have got more sponsors, loyal members, but a lot of the commercial clubs, they are going to struggle. I dont feel it is going to make that much difference, just stopping one or two things that is safest out of all of that. In Northern Ireland, courts have reopened under certain restrictions, but they will shut again next friday as part of our latest firebreak lockdown. In wales, all courts have reopened after their lockdown ended. In scotland, some grassroots tennis is still permitted but the level of activity depends on which tear of restrictions you are living under. Back in england, for now, players are just encouraged to keep engaged with the sport. Weather it be playing inside ordering online virtual classes, braving the weather in the park does give you that feeling of smashing an ace, even if it is to know one, and you just have to run and go and get the ball. What really matters here is when players can get back on the court again. Well, i was never going to lose a point, was i . But if you are itching to get back, at the moment, planned lifting of restrictions on december two, they hope that courts will be open, and golf courses. It is the same argument, the band across all of them, the start of that film, hunter. I know the thing is, to be safe, covid wise, we were filming from outside a house, through the window. But of course that set the dog off, because hunter was wondering he was outside the window, he could bringing tennis balls and barking at us. On the upside, in relation to the tennis, you can at least watch it at the moment. Yes, and it will be fantastic to see if djokovic can do it again, or if rafael nadal can. So in the meantime, in england, youvejust got to find other ways to replicate your heroes. Mike, we will see you later on. Thank you. Christmas might be unpredictable this year, but one thing many of us can be certain of is tucking into turkey and all the trimmings. But with potentially smaller family gatherings, and no christmas parties, farmers are worried that their big birds will remain on the farm and not on our plates. Our Business Correspondent katy austin has this report. Its about time of year again, when we start thinking about these creatures. They might all look similar, but there are a range of different breeds. We have superminis, we have tiny, we have roly poly s. Superminis, we have tiny, we have rolypoly s. On this farm, planning for the 2025 started as soon as last yea rs for the 2025 started as soon as last years had departed, largely based on what people chose last christmas. Soi on what people chose last christmas. So i would say the most common sizes around the seven kilograms mark. How many people would not do . About 12 or 14. That is quite big many people would not do . About 12 or14. That is quite big yes, with no leftovers. Normally in the uk about 10 million turkeys gets over Christmas Every year, including 7 million fresh ones. But this year, of course, is not a normal year, and there are still some uncertainty around how many people will be allowed to meet up together to have allowed to meet up together to have a Christmas Day meal. Here, to have been plenty of orders, but mostly not for the big birds. Some people have a ten kilograms turkey, others will go for a seven or eight kilograms, those who would have six or seven by going down to 4. 5 of five kilograms. It is to account for the potential of having a small gathering this christmas. Some of these will be sold by this butcher nearby, which also saw an early flurry of small orders. But some customers are now changing their minds and asking for bigger turkeys again. For us to give the farmers an idea of what number and size of turkey, it is becoming increasingly difficult. Because it is changing almost on a daily basis now. And the Home Delivery option has never been so popular. We already know it is going to be incredibly busy. We are having to bring in reinforcements to help drive the delivery dance to get all those turkeys out there in that very short window of time to deliver. There is likely to be an oversupply of larger turkeys, not just because of households, but because business events and parties arent happening. The farmers cant just make the turkeys smaller. There breeds dictates their size. But they are trying to adapt to prevent waste and prevent a financial hit. This year we are offering crowns as well, so they by half a turkey and then get a smaller portion of meat. But he is still encouraging people to buy the big ones. So we are trying to push leftover recipes on Christmas Day, and there will be plenty of meat to cut out for the week after christmas. They can also cut it and bark it and freeze it. At this time they have in trying to adapt as best they can, and not fall foul of this years unprotect ability. Unpredictability. Chris has been watching that intently, head of doing the weather. Good morning, chris. We were having a little discussion of screen about the word trimmings. Charlie doesnt like the word trimmings. You know, turkey and all the trimmings. So we are talking about stopping in pigs and blankets, that kind of thing . Exactly. Where do you stand . Well. I dont think you can get enough of that kind of thing. The same about christmas cakes, you know. Ive got to of those on the go. You have already done your christmas cakes . Yeah, i might not know how many people i have coming around, but there is always space for more christmas cake. That is such a good philosophy. There is always room for kate. How big, and how dense, is the fruit in your christmas cake . Well, i dont know. It is full of adelia ts, i dont know. It is full of adelia s, there is over a kilogram of fruit over there, probably 1. 5 kilograms. Straightaway, chris, im thinking, what the audience needs to know sometime between now and christmas, we are going to have to see it. Ithink christmas, we are going to have to see it. I think we christmas, we are going to have to see it. Ithink we have christmas, we are going to have to see it. I think we have to see it, it is inevitable now. And the icing is done to perfection, i imagine, as well . Well, that all comes later on at the moment it is all about feeding the cakes, you know every weekend, without fail, it gets a little bit of brandy on there. That isa little bit of brandy on there. That is a nice sounding cake. And how is the weather looking . Is a nice sounding cake. And how is the weather looking . |j is a nice sounding cake. And how is the weather looking . I hope your weather looks up to lives up to date, all im thinking is cake. Not n ot exa ctly not exactly christmas cold at the moment. Mild weather to start the weekend but cold air is going to be moving in from the north as we go on through this weekend, and that cold air is arriving behind this streak of cloud, as you can see here. On the satellite picture, this is a cold front which is going to be slowly pushing south through today, and then pushing on toward southern counties of england by tomorrow, with the getting much cooler, and as well as that cooler our arriving, you should see more in the way of sunshine across these Northern Areas. He that said, a blustery start of the day. Wind gusts for 65 miles an hour at the moment in shetland. Sunshine in between. Not much sunshine for england and wales. Some more rain and moving in and all the while into the afternoon, it will stay pretty blowy. Blowy but mild across england and wales. Further north, that is where the cold air is arriving so the temperatures dropping a little bit as we head into the afternoon. Overnight, the cold front continues to slowly seep southwards across england and wales bringing light rain or drizzle with it. To the north, plenty of showers for scotland, the far north of england and Northern Ireland as well stocked quite a cold night, temperatures low single figures but we will still have those brisk wind which will make it feel cold. That is how we start the day on sunday. Writer weather for Northern England, across a good part of wales, parts of east anglia as well. In the south, the cloud make clear to again allow the sky to brighten up. It will feel cooler across the midlands, Northern Ireland and wales asa temp midlands, Northern Ireland and wales as a temp just drop as the cooler assets in. Cooler air sets in. Another low pressure system coming in of the atlantic, this one bringing in south westerly winds ahead of this warm front was not we will see temperatures rise that said, cold and frosty start of the day and is the milder air works its way ina day and is the milder air works its way in a bringing rain, it will be quite murky. Some hill fog pack shoes and general rain and a slow rising temperatures, staying quite cool particularly across the north east of scotland otherwise, milderair north east of scotland otherwise, milder air arriving with highs of 12 or 13 degrees. South west england and southern wales. Similar temperatures on tuesday, milder air still with us at on wednesday, a cold front moves in and so we will see that fresh air moving into scotla nd see that fresh air moving into scotland and Northern Ireland with the temperatures dropping the top temperature also easing by a few degrees. Across england and wales as well. So this weekend, cooler weather arriving from the north but some pretty strong and cold winds across scotland in particular to start the day. Back to you both. Weve got the headlines coming up next, but first its time for click. Welcome to click. I know, im not on the sofa dont panic, though i brought it with me. No, ive not made a dash for it. Im in an electric car on a 300 mile trip across the uk. This is a lockdown mission to find out if an electric vehicle revolution is about to happen. Across the world, governments are putting up ambitious targets for environmentally friendly transport. The eu aims to reduce its Greenhouse Gases by 80 in the next 30 years and electric vehicles are a big part of that plan. The uk this week announced its ambition to stop selling cars that are wholly powered by petrol and diesel by the year 2030. So, many more of us, it seems, will be buying electric cars in the next few years, and lara has some tips for you on that later in the show. But first, im off to a place which may hold the key to the future of european electric cars. Cornwall is known for its fish, its stunning views and its tourism. But all that is changing. Traces of an element discovered in cornwall in the 19th century have suddenly become rather important. This is lithium mica granite, and the important word there is lithium. As in the lithium ion batteries in your phone, in your computer and your electric car. And some think that cornwall may be the best place in europe to supply it. There is lithium in the czech republic, but the boss of one company realised that the rock here in cornwall was made of the same stuff. We followed it up with a field trip and the first rock that andrew picked up had ore grade lithium in it. British lithium is prospecting here in cornwall and once they find a rich seam of lithium mica granite, they plan to build an open clay mine, a lot like this one. Whats the ecological impact of a mine like this . The footprint of a mine is actually very small, so the mine were proposing will produce about a third of the total lithium requirement to the uk, should the whole industry transform to an electric one from internal combustion. And the quarry will be quite modest much smaller than this, actually. Most of the development is a refinery. There are obvious advantages of a country making its own products, rather than importing them. But theres actually another very important reason why batteries specifically need to be home grown. Lithium batteries are very bulky, theyre heavy and a dangerous good to transport. A model s tesla has half a ton of battery in it, so its a major component of the car, so battery makers co locate with electric vehicle makers. You picture a tesla factory theyve got chemicals and metals going on one end and cars driving out the other. Now, if we want to have an electric car industry in the uk, we have to have a Battery Industry here. So what things can we do to attract a lithium Battery Industry in the uk . One thing is to have the only domestic source of the major component in europe. Theres none produced in the whole of europe. And so it could be that cornwall, along with the czech republic, become vital as europes hunger for lithium grows. So the amount of lithium we need in the uk and also globally is going to increase dramatically over the next few years. So we calculate by 2035, well need five times as much lithium as we are mining now, so thats quite an increase. This week, ive been putting four of the latest smartphone cameras to the test to see how they stack up. The iphone 12 pro max, the google pixel 5, the huawei mate 40 pro and the iphone 12. Ive been using the mini version but it has the exact same camera is the regular size iphone12. Lets talk about lenses and the trendy thing at the moment is to add a super wide lens so you can zoom out and fit a bit more into your picture. I actually prefer a telephoto lens because i feel that you cant always get closer to something you want to zoom in on, but you can quite often take a few steps back to get further away. All four of these phones have a super wide lens but only two of them have a telephoto lens and huaweis has the biggest optical zoom. Heres how that looks in practice because i saw some ducks in the park and i took these photos from about two metres away. Heres as close as i could get without digitally cropping on the iphone 12 and the pixel 5. Now heres the 2. 5 times zoom on the iphone 12 pro max, were getting a bit closer. But look how close i got with the huawei camera this duck was working my camera gorgeous and this really does make a difference. Later in the park, i saw a squirrel and my instinct was, quickly, grab the huawei and this is how it turned out. And this was taken on a camera phone. So the zoom here blew the other phones out of the water. To test the phones in low light i went into Central London after dark which, as you can imagine, is pretty much deserted at the moment, apart from every now and then youd see a social Media Influencer and their camera operator striking a pose and having a little photo shoot. I went down to the tate britain which at the moment is lit up for diwali. All of these were taken on the super wide cameras and all of them looked great, although i think the huawei just edges ahead because take a look at how much detail it preserved in these beautiful tiles. Those were the super wide shots. With the regular wide camera, apple and huawei both say theyve made improvements this year to let in more light. Here are some photos from the wide cameras, both iphones took a decent shot, the pixel did too, although again, it was darker and grainier than the others, and then the mate 40 pro captured this and i was blown away. Look again how much detail is preserved. I also took some Portrait Mode shots here which came out very nicely. Youll notice the one from the iphone 12 pro max is more zoomed in because it defaults to the telephoto lens for portraits. I have to say, both iphones and the pixel captured quite a lot of lens flare from these neon lights. I didnt mind in this particular context, it looks quite artistic, but the huawei didnt have any lens flare. In fact the mate 40 pro was so consistently impressive that, whenever we were taking extra shots or i wanted a quick one done of me in a nice location, id say, lets do it on the huawei, its going to get the better shot. Of course, theres more to a phone than just the cameras. The elephant in the room is that huawei still doesnt have access to goggle play services due to the us trade blacklist and that means many of the most popular apps are missing from the platform, including from its own huawei app gallery. But theres no denying that when it comes to the camera, at least from my testing, the huawei one is a generation ahead of the competition. Theres been a rapid increase in the number of electric cars sold in the uk and im talking pure electric. Almost double were sold this year compared to last. But for many of us, buying an electric vehicle is still a new experience and there are a few things that you need to think about. Electric is great in the city and over recent years, theres been an increasing number of charging points emerging on our high streets. But for longerjourneys, things can get a little bit trickier. The range an electric car can drive before needing a boost has increased greatly. There are now many on the market, advertised to be able to do around 280 miles on a single charge. While all electric cars show a calculation of how long you should be able to drive for, theyre rarely accurate. But if you do run out ofjuice on a longerjourney then most Motorway Service stations do have chargers. And in the majority of cases, they will have rapid chargers. But rapid means Different Things to different cars. Its not only about how fast the charging point is, but also the speed your car can charge. The combination determining how long a stop youd need to make up the services. Most motorways have 50 kilowatt chargers. An average electric car would be able to boost its battery by 90 miles in half an hour at one. Here on this forecourt though the chargers can triple that power. One other thing to know, your battery can only do the fast charging up to a certain point. When it reaches about 80 , the charging slows right down. If im taking the car on a long journey, i need to first check to see where the chargers are and if theyre working and then i need to plan for the charger beyond that in case theyre busy, and often when i get to the charger, theyre not working properly or theyre taken by somebody else and i have to use my contingency plan. So planning is definitely required to drive long distances. But if you are near a motorway and you have some time to spare, you should be ok. In rural areas, though, the electric car revolution may be harder to kick start. To boost driver confidence, its now essential that the infrastructure reaches across the country. If its not done right, once again, rural areas risk being left behind. Price has been a major Sticking Point for electric car ownership. But in recent years, have they actually become cheaper to own . Weve tried to simplify the figures based on a mid range car over the course of four years. Buying this electric car over the same model with petrol would set you back around an extra 40 . Yet the electric should depreciate less, have lower running costs and no road tax. Youre likely to spend around a quarter on electricity than what youd spend on fuel. Evs are expensive but if you think about it, you know, if you look at a mobile phone, thats a £500 or £600 device. So actually what youre finding is that paying for it as you go, so the phone, insurance and the text and data, is a way youre happy to pay for that, its then a mobile device as a service. So with evs, bundling a Monthly Price with the car, the insurance, the service and maintenance and energy could be the way actually we consume cars in the future. That was lara and thats it for the shortcut of our ev special. The full length version is up on iplayer right now. Its been an adventure, i can tell you, being out on the road again. Back to the sofa next week, i guess. In the meantime, you can get in touch with us on facebook, instagram, youtube and and twitter we live bbcclick. Thanks for watching. And well see you soon. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Our headlines today the nhs starts setting up coronavirus Vaccination Centres, and the first doses could be delivered next month. Home secretary priti patel keeps herjob, after being found to have broken rules by bullying staff. Questions now for Boris Johnson over his influence on the report. The firebreak is over, but the tourists remain locked down. How businesses in wales are struggling to stay afloat. There are new calls for restrictions on heading in football training. It follows concerns over the number of former players suffering from dementia. Good morning. Cooler air is arriving further north of the uk today, with rain followed by blustery showers and some sunshine. In the south, it stays mild but pretty cloudy, but that cooler air is moving across all of the uk by the time we get to tomorrow. Ill have a full forecast coming upa tomorrow. Ill have a full forecast coming up a bit later on. Its saturday, the 21st of november. Our top story the nhs has started setting up coronavirus Vaccination Centres across the uk, with the hope of getting all adults vaccinated by the spring. With infection rates dropping and plateauing in all 4 nations, the government has officially asked the medical regulator to asses the Pfizer Biontech vaccine for uk use. Anna oneill reports. This is the ray of light described by the Health Secretary. Millions of doses of this Pfizer Biontech vaccine against covid 19 could be heading to britain as early as next month, and the nhs is getting ready for a mass Vaccination Programme. We will be ready to start the vaccination next month with the bulk of the rollout in the new year. We are heading in the right direction. Yesterday another 511 people died within 28 days of catching covid. But there may be signs that the r rate, or infection rate, is flattening. In the latest office for National Statistics survey, 1 in 80 people in england were thought to have coronavirus, similar to the week before. In scotland it was person in 155, and rates were levelling off. In wales, it was person in 165, with rates decreasing over the past two weeks, and in Northern Ireland, rates have been decreasing over four weeks, and 1 in 435 people are infected. The deputy chief medical officerfor england is cautiously optimistic. Overall, clearly it is an improving picture. These are very early signs that the epidemic is beginning to level. But we should be cautious about interpreting bout, and, you know, please everyone remember that itjust takes a few seconds to create new infections. Christmas family get togethers may still be in doubt, but some restrictions are being lifted today. The government has changed lockdown rules in england so that Christmas Tree farms and sellers and start trading from this morning. Anna oneill, bbc news. Just after 9 00 this morning well be joined by virologist professor calum semple, and gp dr sarahjarvis, who will be on hand to answer all your covid questions. Send them in by email, or on social media. This works out really well because both of them are very straightforward with their answers. Often when we get these panels through, people get so many things clear ina through, people get so many things clear in a way that they may be havent heard from politicians or some of those briefings. So those questions come injust some of those briefings. So those questions come in just after nine oclock this morning. Borisjohnson is facing questions over whether he tried to tone down an independent report, which found that the home secretary priti patel broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. Downing street has insisted the conclusions of sir alex allans investigation were entirely his own. Our Political Correspondent jess parker reports. Portsmouth is on this side. Yeah. Standing by her, borisjohnson says he has full confidence in priti patel and considers the matter closed, after an independent report found her approach had on occasions amounted to behaviour that could be described as bullying, with evidence, it said, of shouting and swearing. I am sorry my behaviour has upset people. I have never intentionally set out to upset anybody. I work with thousands of brilliant Civil Servants every single day, and we work together, day in and day out, to deliver on the agenda of this government. And im absolutely sorry for anybody i have upset. The report said priti patel had legitimately not always felt supported at the home office and there was no evidence she had been aware of the impact of her behaviour. But the Prime Ministers independent adviser on ministerial standards, sir alex allan, concluded she had breached the ministerial code, even if unintentionally. Borisjohnson disagreed, and as Prime Minister has the final say. I mean, the system does make the Prime Ministerjudge and jury. But in the past, Prime Ministers have always acted when there has been a breach of the ministerial code, and that is why in a sense this is a much more serious moment than previous ones because the Prime Minister seems to have gone against what would have happened in the past, and that does mean that you wonder what the value of the ministerial code is. Now a whitehall source says that sir alex allan had resisted pressure to make the report more palatable. A separate source told the bbc there were discussions in the summer between sir alex and borisjohnson about the challenges the report presented. A downing street spokesman said that, as you would expect, the Prime Minister spoke to sir alex allan to further his understanding of the report, but that sir alexs conclusions were entirely his own. Jessica parker, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom now. Helen, good morning to you. It has been an interesting week, hasnt it . Dominic cummings left last week, the whole resetting of the relationship government has with the civil service, that was supposed to happen, wasnt it . Smoothing the waters, so to speak. Is it happening . Not quite, no. This was supposed to be borisjohnsons degrees that week, why was he having it, because last week there had been huge disruption behind the doors of downing street which had spilt out of the papers in a pretty unedifying way. The point of this was that he was supposed to refocus attention back on his plan for the country, to look outwards, if you like. That is why we got announcements on things like that big green strategy, things like that big green strategy, things like that big increase in defence spending, but this whole strategy was hobbled a bit from the outset by a king in the Prime Ministers inbox last sunday which meant he had to self isolate, so he has been doing this from behind closed doors, and this from behind closed doors, and this has also been shadowed by other political rows, so his own comments about scottish devolution created a row at the beginning of the week. Now at the end of the week we have got another controversy over that pretty unedifying report on priti patels behaviour, the Prime Ministers reaction to that, the resignation of another independent advisor. So for one week when the government was trying to move things on an outwards, what are we talking about again, at the end of that week . Controversial interning internal workings of government. Helen, indeed. Thank you very much. Borisjohnson will call on World Leaders to do more to tackle Climate Change and the pandemic at the g20 summit today. The annual meeting of the worlds 20 largest economies is taking place virtually this year and will be hosted by saudi arabia for the first time. Our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, is in the capital riyadh this morning. Good morning to you. This is 20 summit like no other, of course, because normally they would get together and that is impossible. But theissues together and that is impossible. But the issues facing the world are on a scale possibly never seen before . Well, yes. Everyone is waking up and listening to your news about the vaccine that will be rolled out across britain, and everybody here will be thinking about the vaccine, not just the rollout of vaccines, but also ppe, the diagnostics, and the economic recovery from this global pandemic. If there was any place to discuss how to get the world back on its feet economically, socially, it is here, vg 20. G20, the group of 20 nations, 19 of the worlds most powerful economies plus the european union, and no matter how wealthy they are, they are not more powerful than that virus. Just look around me here, this is where the media centre for this g20 summit is, and as you say, for the first time, it will have to be held virtually. The World Leaders will not be in the corridors, when we try to rub shoulders with them and get some years. We will be seeing them on that screen, they will be appearing from where they work and where they live. Lets just say the issues will still be the same. The global pandemic, the worst recession the world has seen since the second world war, but other issues like human Rights Groups around the world would have wanted another issue on the agenda. They are holding the counter summit, because they say it is human rights which should be the Biggest Issue of all, when a country like saudi arabia, the first arab states to host this summit, is under attack for its human rights record, and there are calls for a boycott, including by the european parliament, but the saudi officials tell us that all g20 leaders will be at this summit and will be discussing all the issues which matter to the world today. For the moment, thank you very much. Theres been more setbacks to Donald Trumps efforts to overturn the result of the us president ial election. Georgia has certified joe bidens win in the state, whilst Senior Republicans in michigan say theyve seen no information that would overturn mr bidens victory there. Our north american correspondent reports. Since losing the election, donald trump has largely confined his displeasure with the result to twitter, but he strayed from the theme of a white house event on drug prices to reassert his victory. Big pharma run millions of dollars of negative advertisements against me during the campaign. Which i won, by the way, but, you know, we will find that out. The president wants to see results in swing states such as michigan overturned, and republican lawmakers from that state were given a noisy reception as they arrived in washington for a meeting at the white house. Joe biden one michigan by more than 155,000 votes, and his advisers called the invitation and abuse of president ial power. After meeting with President Trump, michigan lawmakers released a statement saying they had not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election, and vowed not to interfere with the process of certifying the vote. Certification in another swing state, georgia, has already taken place, however, after a hard recount of millions of ballots. Joe bidens victory that was slimmer, and the Trump Campaign could now request a machine recount. The president continues to allege voter fraud, claiming without evidence that hundreds of thousands of votes had been cast illegally, alleging in a tweet that without them, he would have achieved a big victory. After several states dismissed his lawsuits, Donald Trumps slim hope of remaining in the white house may now rest with the republican officials in battleground states, setting aside the results, and declaring him the winner instead. Subverting the will of the voters in a move unprecedented in modern american history. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. The chancellor, rishi sunak, will outline plans to boost funding for areas outside of london, at his first Spending Review next week. The move is part of the governments promise to level up opportunities across the uk. The treasury say there will be extra money for transport schemes, flood defences and faster broadband. The brother of Princess Diana says the investigation into the bbcs panorama interview with his sister needs to be allowed to examine every aspect of the programme. The broadcaster has appointed a retired judge, lord dyson to investigate how the journalist Martin Bashir obtained the interview 25 years ago. But earl spencer said hes not satisfied with the parameters of the inquiry. The bbc insists the terms of the review are suitably wide ranging. New data shows the r number, which measures the spread of infection, has dropped again, and at yesterdays press briefing the Health Secretary said the second peak of the virus was flattening. So, how have extra restrictions affected the infection rates changed in england, rates are now plateauing, with around 1 in 80 people testing positive last week. Infection rates are stabilising in scotland, after rising through most of october, with an estimated 1 in 155 people testing positive last week. In wales, there has been a decrease in the infection rate over the past two weeks, following the end of the national firebreak. On average, 1 in 165 people tested positive. And in Northern Ireland, they have been going down for the last month. Last week an estimated 1 in 135 people had the virus. Thats where we are with statistics, but what does it mean on the ground . Were joined now by saffron cordery, deputy chief executive at nhs providers. The point of these lockdowns and increased restrictions is to ease pressure on the nhs and hospitals. Tell me, how has this increased in the restrictions affected what has happened in hospitals now . |j the restrictions affected what has happened in hospitals now . I think we are at a really important moment in terms of the impact of these lockdown measures because i think what we have to remember is that although Community Transmission rates are now levelling off which is brilliant news and really pleased about that, it doesnt necessarily translate yet into a reduction in hospital admissions because there is a link between the spread reducing in the community and it actually reducing in terms of hospital at missions because when someone contracts coronavirus, it will probably be around ten days to two weeks before they become hospital admission. So we do have to be cautious about this and we know that the rad is reducing in some areas and it is reducing in the areas that have the most severe lock rounds before the notional lock down National Lockdown. We know that actually there are increases in the south east and south west so we have to see how this pans out across the country, really. Ithink to see how this pans out across the country, really. I think it would be really tempting to say ok, this lockdown is working, lets lift all restrictions on the second of december and go back to where we we re december and go back to where we were they think that could put us a dangerous point in terms of both controlling the spread of the virus and also what it means for the nhs. Lets break this down a bit. You have made very clear on the second of december you were in favour of tightening restrictions or having some restrictions remaining at a high level. What emerging is a bit of caution, to say although the rh is levelling off, we need to wait whether we are levelling off. R rate, to look at where the r rate is and also what hospital admissions look like and what the pressure is on the nhs because it is coming from coronavirus but it is also the fact that we are in the middle of winter, it is incredibly pressurised and we are going to see all sorts of other conditions putting pressure on the nhs. Can you talk to me, what does pressure look like . How does that actually transpire in a hospital in terms of intensive treatment units, in terms of numbers of beds, in terms of Staffing Levels. What does that look like . That looks like is, for example, a busy accident and emergency department, we have seen that performance figures this week show us that, for example, longer than 12 hour wait for amd treatment treatment it means handover times for ambulance and bringing in emergency cases in hospital, having to wait considerably longer than they should handover patients in their a e departments. This is familiar to people that follow the nhs which is delay transfers of care out of hospital so the Hospital System out of hospital so the hospital syste m gets out of hospital so the Hospital System gets a bit gummed up because of blocks out into community into social care so that is what it looks like in hospitals and it is also transpiring in Mental Healthcare as well. We are in a completely new world this year obviously and this may not be a question you can answer directly give me an idea. If the rh comes down well below one so that basically means the transmission rate between people is falling. How does that translate, how does that immediately affect this pressure that the nhs is feeling in terms of 0k, that the nhs is feeling in terms of ok, now hospitals can cope, now staff ca n ta ke ok, now hospitals can cope, now staff can take rakes, take holiday without fear of putting extra pressure on their colleagues. How does that happen or is it simply only when a Vaccination Programme has come in and we know the majority of the population is protected. You are right to break this down, it is not a single factor. The lockdown is critical at the moment because it is our only means of containing the spread of the virus. What we are looking for is this kind of holy trinity of the vaccine coming in which is really important, also, more effective therapeutic s so more effective therapeutic s so more effective therapeutic s so more effective ways of treating coronavirus which we know is there thatis coronavirus which we know is there that is also having an impact. And also rapid turnaround testing for the public and for staff so all of those things help us control the spread of the virus and no single thing, there is no Silver Bullet on this, there are hopeful elements but no Silver Bullet. All of those elements together will bring down the rh significantly enough for it to translate r rate down significantly, that is what were looking for, the pressure to ease hospital admissions and we arent seeing that across the country yet and this is different, this is different to april and may because we are now in the colder weather. We are now in winter and we are now also with a walk workforce that is incredibly tired. This isnt the first wave of coronavirus, this is the second wave and alongside that, there are many factors here. We are also trying to continue regular treatments because we know how important it is that people who need operations for that hip or that knee or needs diagnostic investigations, can actually get those. So the nhs is working on all fronts, alongside thinking about the logistics of mass vaccination. Anotherfactor. Interesting you bring up mass vaccination because one of the things we are was talk about is Staffing Levels and you have said Staffing Levels and you have said staff are incredibly tired. With the mass Vaccination Centres been proposed, being set up, there is hope there, but then i wonder, tell me what nhs workers say to you when they hear people want an easing of restrictions and it is almost because we are hearing the vaccination is on its way, we are hearing the infrastructure is in place and it is giving hope so there is almost some relaxation from some people who think well, now we can get back to normal life. How do they react to that . I think talking to Hospital Leaders as i do really regularly, they are so acutely aware of how tired their staff are, their number one priority is looking after their staff so that their staff can look after patients effectively and i think look after patients effectively and ithink in look after patients effectively and i think in a sense, this is quite a difficult moment for them because we know that there is this huge expectation and this huge hope amongst nhs staff as well as amongst the Wider Population that ok, we can ta ke the Wider Population that ok, we can take our foot off the pedal now but actually we cant, we need to hold onjust a actually we cant, we need to hold on just a little while longer and all of the elements are in place. Until all of the elements are in place. The other vaccination does give us hope but we need to hold on with these restrictions probably through into the new year and a little beyond that, in order to make sure that we are kind of through this hump of winter meets corona virus and then we can focus on easing the restrictions, the vaccine taking hold, the therapeutics we are testing, giving us a much better sense of who is infected and who isnt so it is, it is that real sense of just hold isnt so it is, it is that real sense ofjust hold on for a little bit longer so we can get through this. It has been really interesting hearing from you and via the people you are talking to as well. Thank you are talking to as well. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us you for taking the time to talk to us this morning. Thanks so much. Take care. Heres chris with a look at this mornings weather. All of the rules are slightly different but you are allowed to go for a walk, how is it looking in terms of outdoors across the weekend . There is something for eve ryo ne weekend . There is something for everyone in this forecast. I suppose the main message really is that the weather will be turning cooler from the north as we go on through the weekend but is that cool air arrives, actually, in that cool air, you get more in the way of sunshine. The satellite picture shows not much sunshine expected over the next few hours in england and wales, a lot of cloud but a cold front that will be pushing southwards will be bringing rain that is currently across scotla nd rain that is currently across scotland and Northern Ireland, southwards into wales today and then into the far south of england as we head on into sunday as well. So the cooler air will be with us but we have got some strong winds to come this morning particularfor northern scotland. A lot of cloud for england and wales to start the day with some thicker cloud bringing rain across england and wales is the day goes by and a few patches of light rain or drizzle possible for a time across sussex and kent. It stays windy for all of us but the strongest across the north where the gust will continue to run in, mull across england and wales and further north the cold air feeds in. Temperature is around 7 9 more quite widely but at least you get sunshine but with blustery showers as well. Those showers continue overnight, both with scotland, if few getting into the far north of scotland. The damp weather pushing southwards across england and wales. A cold night to come across northern portions of the uk, temperatures into the low single figures but without really cold wind around as well. For sunday, continuing to see that mix of sunshine and showers across Northern Areas, showers continue to be heavy with the odd rumble of wonder. Writer skies for Northern England, wales and parts of the thunder. The south coast, still capable of bringing a few spots of light rain or drizzle. The colder air that will be pushing in but it doesnt hang around too long because on monday as this area of low pressure approaches, wins go back to a south westerly direction wind ultimately bringing milder error across the uk and is that mild air duster working over the cold air, we will see some low cloud with hill fog patches and parts of Northern England, outbreaks of rain for scotla nd england, outbreaks of rain for scotland and Northern Ireland. Still cold across the north east turning mulderfrom the cold across the north east turning mulder from the south west with temperatures around 12 or 13 degrees. The mild air will be with all of us as we head into tuesday temperatures into double figures across the board. Another cold front brings another shot of cold air into scotla nd brings another shot of cold air into scotland and Northern Ireland particularly as we head into the middle part of the week. A few changes going on over the next few days there will be some decent weather. To get out and about. 36 year old Areema Nasreen was one of the first medical staff in the uk to die with covid 19. She lost her life in april after spending weeks on a ventilator, at the hospital where she worked as a nurse. Her sister kazeema has now set up a scholarship in her memory, to fund nursing degrees for those who couldnt otherwise afford it. We can speak to kazeema now. Good morning to you. And we start by talking about your sister, areema and mother of three children, can you tell us a bit about her first because people will have heard the story and may remember back to that time which must have been so awful for yourfamily. Time which must have been so awful for your family. Tell us a time which must have been so awful for yourfamily. Tell us a bit time which must have been so awful for your family. Tell us a bit about her will you . Areema was a kind person, not just to her will you . Areema was a kind person, notjust to herfamily but eve ryo ne person, notjust to herfamily but everyone who she sees. She was just full of laughter, happy soul. Worked very ha rd full of laughter, happy soul. Worked very hard in life. Put everyone else first and herself last. She was just a person that you can sit around and talk to if you are upset and eve ryo ne talk to if you are upset and everyone just knows how amazing, beautiful, person she was inside and out. Kazeema, as you are talking, were showing some wonderful pictures which your family have shared with of her graduation in the career in which she was so proud and did such amazing work. That was something she cherished very dear. Very dear, she did, yeah, very. That moment she thought would never come but when it come, she was she couldnt believe that she had finally done the dream that she had a lwa ys finally done the dream that she had always dreamt of as a kid and the day that, that day, i cant forget that smile. It was a different smile that day on the graduation day, it was seeing my sister there, i was just so proud of her and she was so proud of what she has done so herself, worked so hard, from the bottom and worked her way up. |j assume that the pride that she had in her work and you had in her, was partly why you wanted to set up this trust in order that someone else could maybe follow the path that she did. Tahts right. The hospital and the well wishers charity, i spoke to one of the charities in the hospital andi one of the charities in the hospital and i said i want something to be done that her inspiration carries on because thats what she wanted to do, help so many of the girls, boys, anyone who wants to go into working, she always said to me, love it from your heart and you will get it there stop and when i spoke to someone and we both decided this is the only thing and we thought it would be a very long time to set this up but when i had the phone call that the funds had been raised from the well wishers charity i was, my tears just rolled down my eyes thinking how can that happen so quick, i never thought that this would happen so fast and somebody else would have that opportunity the way she did. The reason is because people respect the work that your sister did and the work that your sister did and the work that your sister did and the work that your everyone does. I wonder how much you get from that, how much comfort you get that from. It is such an awful thing for your family to have lost her and i wonder if you had communications with the people she helped looked after. Where is your comfort from as a family . Comfort has been, ever since she passed away, i have had messages from social media come from patients that she looked after in critical ca re that she looked after in Critical Care when she was a nurse there for four months. And still in contact with one of the families from there. Explain to me how she never took a break, to hold her hand to tell them that their baby your is going to be fine and that their baby your is going to be fine and i have a few of the letters that have come through and thats what keeps us a stronger, knowing that our sister was, the way she loved herjob and the way she loved her patients and especially come cant fault the ward she worked on, thatis cant fault the ward she worked on, that is where i am working now. Support, i cant fault it in any way and that was the last message, look after my sister, they really have. They have fulfilled that 100 . You just need to fill in the gap for us, you you just need to fill in the gap for us, you are now you just need to fill in the gap for us, you are now yourself following in the same footpath, is that right . You have started, is it training to bea you have started, is it training to be a nurse yourself . Well, i was a housekeeper for 14 years and now i have been in healthcare for one year, and now have been in healthcare for one year, and now i am on the nursing route. So i have followed it similar to rima, i am going to do it for her, for myself. She believed in me, ididnt her, for myself. She believed in me, i didnt believe in myself. But now i know how much it meant for her, i love it, but ijust didnt think i could do it, because we were both uneducated, but now my route is nursing for myself, and for rima. I love my healthcare job, nursing for myself, and for rima. I love my healthcarejob, i love nursing for myself, and for rima. I love my healthcare job, i love the water she works, i can feel her there, every time i wake up i cant wait to go to the ward, i feel her there, and i forget wait to go to the ward, i feel her there, and iforget what wait to go to the ward, i feel her there, and i forget what the pressure is there because she is around me, the staff are around me, i cannot fault the hospital, 100 1 just want to thank all of them, the ward especially. I cannot thank them enough. They kept me strong. If it wasnt for them i wouldnt be here right now working. I only had a very short time off, i went straight back to the front line. That is what rima would have wanted. Well, you know what, i think, judging from our short conversation this morning, i have very little doubt you are going to succeed in your new career, and we wish you very welcome and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. You for sharing your thoughts with us. It is a wonderful thing that yourfamily are doing. Thank us. It is a wonderful thing that your family are doing. Thank you very much. Will be back shortly with the headlines. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. We will give you an update later on, but what we need to update you are now is what is happening in the sport. That picture says it all, because we have been talking so much about heading the ball in training, not necessarily in the game, but the impact it has had over the years, and the quite High Percentage of those suffering with dementia, and brain injuries. Who have been in the sport. Yeah, the research is ongoing, and it is part and parcel of the sport of football, isnt it . But now there is this growing concern of potential effects on players in later years on their health. This week on breakfast, former Football Players have been voicing their concerns over the possible link between the sport and dementia. Now, the Players Union say, time spent heading the ball during training must be reduced. Joining us now is chris sutton, whose father mike, a former player himself, has the disease. Thanks again for your time. What is your reaction to this move to the pfa . I think it is a really positive step and well done to the pfa. They have certainly been slow in reacting to it, but got there. This is one step in the right direction, there area step in the right direction, there are a lot more steps that we need to take, there is really a harrowing story in the daily mail this morning, gary pallas and his concerns on the subject. He said it had to start with the pfa, saying that the two long we have closed our eyes to what has been going on. A little story about how he drove into the village and walk home and forgot he had left his car. This is a player from my era, he talks about his headaches, his migraines, the suffering. What has been encouraging in the last few days has been the game, it is what this campaign has needed, the likes of sirjeff her, david beckham, Frank Lampard of chelsea talking about possibly changing the training techniques at chelsea because of the risk of dementia, and this isjust a really common sense step dementia, and this isjust a really common sense step to take, you know, in my opinion. We are not asking to ban heading. We are asking to reduce the heading in training, reduce the risk, and it is a big deal now to have the pfa on site. Risk, and it is a big deal now to have the pfa onsite. Absolutely. As a former striker yourself, renowned for your heading ability, great goals you scored, i wonder how it would be for a young player in training today if you were told to actually reduce the practice you do with heading the ball, in training . How practical it would be . M with heading the ball, in training . How practical it would be . It is extremely practical. I think we have to strip everything back. I dont know, well, you have got kids, mike, but if you knew that heading a football could damage your health and the numbers were there, the testing was there, with willie stewart, that should be recognised, you know, he has done the studies, your three and half times more likely to suffer neurodegenerative diseases if you have play football. These artefacts, you know, alzheimers and dementia. There is no cure for alzheimers. There is no cu re no cure for alzheimers. There is no cure for dementia. It is the most horrible way to die, and i know from personal experience, you know, my dad and the way he suffered. It isnt forgetting your car keys or miss laying your glasses case. You know, he is at the end now, and it isa know, he is at the end now, and it is a horrible way to go. Therefore, all we are doing is saying, lessen the risk, lessen the load, and reduce heading in training. We are not changing the fundamentals of the game, no, that is more money, which hopefully will go into research, then things must change. And this may be a conversation for a later date. But at this moment in time we are saying lets just take precautions and look after the generations to come in current players can seriously think about that. We spoke to you spoke to doctor woody stewart last night and got his reaction to the latest of elements, because the research is ongoing and there is yet to be that definite proof that heading is the contributing factor to this, but the research, as you say, has proved this link with these various conditions . I think feeling is there and you only have to look at the numbers. You know, ithink it and you only have to look at the numbers. You know, i think it was the fifa doctor who came out with a statement saying, we need more testing, we need more research, and i understand that. We get that. There needs to be more money going into research. But at this moment in time, we are saying, it is preventative, isnt it. So therefore, what is the downside of doing this . Then we are trying to change the concussion ruling, which, football is in the dark ages for this one, when rugby players get injured, they go off at the side of the pitch, they see an independent doctor, they get tested, and if they are ok to go back on, they go back on. In the meantime, they get a substitution on, which doesnt harm the game in any way. It is just looking after the players health, and we are saying, why cant football catch up . Shall i do not, we are saying that there needs to be far greater help for the ex players and their families who are suffering, you know, we are asking for the pfa and this campaign, join astor has campaigned vigorously, her father died at 50 years old, choked to death in front of the family because of this disease. Just think about that for a second. She has campaigned ferociously and she is just saying, you know, these families need help. They are wives, partners, suffering from dementia, they are looking after them 24 hours a day. They are not getting a break in the week. And i know from my mothers own experience that it really ta kes mothers own experience that it really takes its toll. I dont think this is too much to ask. This is the next step. There is talk of a task force and out is all well and good, but these people need help and they need help right now. They need help immediately. Because it will change their lives. You know, it is not going to bring their husbands back or necessarily slow down the process of the way their husbands die, but it will help. It will give them a little bit of sanity, just a few hours a week, and families, john stiles has spoken on this, families need financial help. This isnt, you know, we know there is a lot of money in the game now, but these players of yesteryear, you know, they dont have the finance and the funds. Were just saying, they dont have the finance and the funds. Werejust saying, can they dont have the finance and the funds. Were just saying, can you give them a bit of support, and with the pfa, can we set up a dementia ca re centre the pfa, can we set up a Dementia Care centre where, you know, they have got somebody who will listen to their problems, and help. And of course the pfa are the Players Union. They have not done enough over the years. It a really positive step which they have taken last night, and we need to do more. Chris, thank you so much for your time, and speaking so openly. Chris, thank you so much for your time, and speaking so openlylj chris, thank you so much for your time, and speaking so openly. I did see an article written by your mum about it, and how she has had to deal with covid, and yourself, over the years. We wish you well and thank you very much. And i guess it will change the shape and the pattern and the look of the game. Already we are seeing teams tend to pass it more, more football on the floor and less emphasis on that big striker up front front heading it all the time. When he was talking about players of his own generation, too. Yes. It was a different era. But it is also now. Yes, and that must be a real concern when you have your peers going through these sorts of things. I also think what he says will resonate with so many people, not just will resonate with so many people, notjust families will resonate with so many people, not just families which will resonate with so many people, notjust families which have been affected by dementia, but when he talks about people who are caring, we have spoken a lot about this on brea kfast, we have spoken a lot about this on breakfast, carers who cannot get the support they need in order to just ta ke support they need in order to just take a break. And that is why, to have this group set up, so that all the former players and families can be together, be heard as one voice, and also support each other. M be together, be heard as one voice, and also support each other. It is important. Thank you, mike. And also support each other. It is important. Thank you, mikem and also support each other. It is important. Thank you, mike. It is 7 42am on saturday morning. Chris has all the weather good morning. Were looking at lots of cloud to england and wales today. Further north, cooler air is arriving and that is to be pushing south for most of us as we go through the weekend. The cooler air arriving behind this tripe of rain, which is a cold front, bringing down but across Northern England and into wales, plenty of showers with scotla nd wales, plenty of showers with scotland and Northern Ireland, and in the finals in scotland, some strong winds as well. Mild in the cloud across england and wales. 12 or 13 celsius, turning coolerfor scotland, the far north of england and Northern Ireland as well. That cooler air will continue to edge south overnight as cloud and drizzle works across wales and southern counties of england. Still mild across southern parts. 10 degrees in london and nine degrees in cardiff. Colder further north with further showers. Those showers will continue on on sunday for scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and Northern England, but at least they will be sunshine between these have to showers, much brighter one of Northern Ireland, wales, the midlands and east anglia, and across the south, it might take a little while before that cloud eases its way south. Thats the latest weather. Back to you. So, lots of areas worried about how tourism will be affected. Wales ended its national firebreak almost two weeks ago, but tourist hotspots are still being hit hard by tough restrictions across the border. Tomos morgan reports. November in north west wales, and the famous weather has already kicked in. Wales finished its firebreak almost two weeks ago, but evenin firebreak almost two weeks ago, but even in the rain, it still feels eerie on the streets of aberdovey. Just like a lockdown that is still in place. It has never been so quiet for this time of year in all of the 13 years peter holt has run his cafe. Does it feel a little bit like a ghost town at the moment here . It is nice for the locals. The locals absolutely is nice for the locals. The locals a bsolutely love is nice for the locals. The locals absolutely love it. But as a business, we need the people, yes. People need to come. Well, we feel a bit safer. I know we can travel anywhere in wales, but i dont think people to do that either. After the first lockdown, tourist hotspots across wales saw record numbers visiting with fewer people wanting to go abroad for the holidays. But areas like aberdovey, according to the Welsh Tourism Alliance, are at 90 reliant on visitors coming from england, so a lockdown over the border has a Significant Impact on businesses. From the celtic manor result outside newport to zip world and its adventure attractions in snowdonia, to the famous italian style image of pot nearly on, some of the tourist hotspots have remained closed during this period. It is estimated by the Welsh Tourism Alliance that more than 50 of esse nces alliance that more than 50 of essencesin alliance that more than 50 of essences in the sector have remained closed in wales is in the sector have remained closed in wales as the lockdown in england goes on. The restau ra nt lockdown in england goes on. The restaurant is closed, the bar is closed, 26 bedrooms have closed, for half the week. Some like this hotel on the outskirts of aberystwyth have closed the majority of their operations and decided to only partially reopen half of the 26 rooms, three days a week, until the end of the month. We based our decision purely on the lockdown in england. It is a major part of our business, coming in. How long can you keep going, do you think, in this kind of state of in and out, partially open. Well, we couldnt. I dont think any business can. Its definitely needs unification now. It isa definitely needs unification now. It is a shame now that the two governments, and scotland and Northern Ireland as well, not working together so that we can get on the same song sheet, you know, people tend to forget that this virus is the same virus in england is in wales and scotland and Northern Ireland. In response, a spokesperson from the Welsh Government said the first minister had been clear that he would like a regular and reliable minimum of four nations meetings. Adding that decisions about the response to the pandemic in wales are made in wales. A response from the authorities in westminster said we have helped the Tourism Industry through our financial package of measures, of which many welsh businesses are benefiting from, and continue to support the Tourism Sector through these challenging times. Whether or not be lockdown in england will finish on december two will have a knock on effect on much of wales as wales economy, and the prospect of another lockdown early in the new year here in wales, what this industry really needs now is some assurances so industry really needs now is some assurances so they can get off to a flying start in 2021. Thomas morgan, bbc news, in gwyneth in canada again. Now on breakfast, its time for newswatch. Hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. With big changes at downing street, is it for politicaljournalists to stop the use of leaks and Anonymous Sources . And hes not coming out. With the pm self isolating, i were bbc reported standing outside the door of number ten . Its been a tricky fortnight for the Prime Minister. Last weeks political news was dominated by rumours of disputes at the heart of government, culminating in the departure of two top aides at number 10 Dominic Cummings and lee kane. Then this week started with reports that borisjohnson told a group of english mps that devolution had been a disaster in scotland. Huw edwards spoke to Political Correspondentjessica parker about that on mondays news at 10. Jessice, some more details on what was said, and indeed whats downing street saying to try to explain the context of this . Yeah, good evening. I think this will be seen as something of a political clanger by Boris Johnson. As you say, the comments a virtual call with dozens of conservative mps who represent seats in the north of england. The subject of devolution came up and that is when the Prime Minister is reported to have said devolution was a disaster north of the border and it was tony blairs biggest mistake. What these two developments have in common is that information emerged unofficially without a named source and through unknown channels. Lastlys anonymous briefing for and against the mps came against the Prime Ministers comments which have not been confirmed nor denied. Simonjessup questioned if this is how we should be discovering the views of our political leaders. He wrote well, we wanted to discuss the use of Anonymous Sources and leaks with someone from the bbcs political unit but nobody was available. Our invitation to them to come on the programme remains open. Meanwhile, another problem borisjohnson has faced this week is that hes having to self isolate at number 10 after an mp he met last week tested positive for coronavirus. This led to a new outbreak of a phenomenon with which newswatch viewers will be familiar the bbc correspondent standing outside the famous back door while it remains resolutely shut. Michelle, what number 10 have planned for the next week they might not be calling a reset for the government but it certainly sounds a lot like one. And the hope for mrjohnson this morning was to be out and about, energetically, and talking about Climate Change and brexit and meeting northern conservative mps, who have been grumbling about a lack of attention and focus from the government. A lot of metaphorical blood has been spilt on downing streets carpets of late so the Prime Minister wanted to use the week to clean up. After watching one of those appearances, Annette Grigg raised this question thats not the only allegation this week that bbc staff have been behaving irresponsibly in relation to the guidance issued around the pandemic. Matt hancock gave an interview on monday morning down the line from a camera overlooking the newsroom here in london. But the attention of some viewers was drawn to what was happening behind the Health Secretary. For instance, the number of people behind him coming and going in apparently close proximity. Sarah campbell e mailed. And Cecilia Rubio echoed that. We asked bbc news for a response to that and they told us the use of prerecorded background footage on a green screen is not unusual. In fact, we are using one right now, because im in a broom cupboard sized studio. But while were on the topic of abiding by covid 19 guidelines, weve mentioned before your reactions to interviewers and interviewees being out and about without masks. Some viewers are annoyed that facemasks are not worn more often. Others have problems when they are worn. As was the case in this report. Sally lowe got in touch with us after watching this interview to say at least one bbc reporter has found a solution to this problem. Heres north of england correspondent dan johnson on air recently. The idea is that people across this city will be able to come get tested whenever they want. Its entirely voluntary, not mandatory, but whatever they want a test, they will be able to and get one. That appearance met the approval of victoria palmer. She tweeted the most high profile way in which bbc news has got itself into the news this week concerns a programme broadcast 25 years ago. The interview conducted by Martin Bashir with the late Princess Diana for panorama caused shock waves at the time and now its doing so again. On wednesday the bbc announced lord dyson, a retired seniorjudge, would head an independent inquiry into how the scoop was obtained. It stems from allegations from the princess brother, lord spencer, that bashir showed him leaked bank. Has not responded to the allegations but as we await the outcome of the inquiry phil had this to say yadhi singh thought but kenny divall wondered this weeks panorama produced audience reaction but ratherfor a mum mundane reason. Does make more mundane reason. On monday, viewers who tuned on for can biden unite america . Were instead presented with this for a full ten minutes. A Replacement Programme was announced, but then the bbcs flagship Current Affairs programme made it on air, only for this to happen. Reporter america is in turmoil. Whats your iq . A country dangerously torn. When i go shopping i cant. The programme ran in silence for almost two minutes before the problem was corrected, leaving joan blackley distinctly unimpressed. The programme ran in silence for almost two minutes before some of us can remember the days when continuity announcers filled such gaps with pop videos or cartoons. Malcolm darvill clearly can. In a statement, the bbc said in the united states, despite the efforts of President Trump and those around him, joe biden is preparing to enter the white house. And theres been plenty of focus notjust on what sort of president he might be but also on Vice President elect harris. But just how should herfirst name be said . Here are a couple of versions from the last few days on bbc news. He and his Vice President of choice are making history. She will be the first black woman, the first asian, and the first woman in this role. Kamala harris struggled. A few groups that are particularly unfriendly to kamala harris, and some of the abuse was horrendous. Those versions are in fact incorrect. Harris released a video four years ago and how to pronounce her name. Robert saxon revealed the answer in a recent email to us after watching bbc news. Thank you for all your comments this week. If you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online, and social media, email us. You can find us on twitter. You can call us on the number on screen, and do have a look at our website. That is all from us. Well be back to hear your thoughts on bbc News Coverage again week. Goodbye. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Our headlines today. The nhs starts setting up coronavirus Vaccination Centres, and the first doses could be delivered next month. The home secretary priti patel keeps her job after being found to have broken rules by bullying staff. Now questions for borisjohnson, over his influence on the report. Taking a stand against fake reviews we meet the businesman whos started legal action against google. There are new calls for restrictions, on heading in football training. It follows the growing concerns over the number of former players, suffering from dementia. Good morning. Cooler air is arriving further north of the uk today, with rain followed by blustery showers and some sunshine. In the south, it stays mild but pretty cloudy, and that cool air is moving across all of the uk by the time we get to tomorrow. I will have the full forecast coming up a bit later on. Its saturday 21st november. Our top story. The nhs has started setting up coronavirus Vaccination Centres across the uk with the hope of getting all adults vaccinated by the spring. With infection rates dropping and plateauing in all four nations, the government has officially asked the medical regulator to asses the Pfizer Biontech vaccine for uk use. Anna oneill reports. This is the ray of light as described by the Health Secretary. Millions of doses of this of this Pfizer Biontech vaccine against covid 19 could be heading to britain as early as next month, and the nhs is getting ready for a mass Vaccination Programme. We will be ready to start the vaccination next month with the bulk of the roll out in the new year. We are heading in the right direction. Yesterday, another 511 people died within 28 days of catching covid 19. But there may be signs that the r rate is flattening. In the latest office for National Statistics survey, one in 80 people of england were thought to have coronavirus similar to the week before. In scotland it was one person in 155 and rates were levelling off. In wales it was one person in 165, with rates decreasing over the last two weeks. In Northern Ireland, rates have been decreasing over four weeks, and one in 135 people are infected. The deputy chief medical officer for england is cautiously optimistic. Overall, clearly, it is an improving picture. These are very early signs that the epidemic is beginning to level, but we should be cautious about interpreting that, and please, everyone, remember that it just takes a few seconds to create new infections. Christmas family get togethers may still be in doubt, but some restrictions are being lifted today. The government has changed lockdown rules in england so that Christmas Tree farms and sellers can start trading from this morning. Anna oneill, bbc news. Just after 9 oclock this morning well be joined by virologist, professor calum semple, and gp dr sarahjarvis, who will be on hand to answer all your covid questions. They appear, you ask the questions and more often than not you are going to get the best answers you are going to get. Some of them are really obvious, but there is sometimes the really best the very best ones. Just to get a sense of clarity. Very plain speaking. Borisjohnson is facing questions over whether he tried to tone down an independent report, which found that the home secretary priti patel broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. Downing street has insisted the conclusions of sir alex allans investigation were entirely his own. Our Political Correspondent, jess parker reports. Standing by her, borisjohnson says he has full confidence in priti patel and considers the matter closed after an independent report found her approach had, on occasion, amounted to behaviour that could be described as bullying. With evidence, it said, of shouting and swearing. Im sorry that my behaviour has upset people. I have never intentionally set out to upset anyone. I work with thousands of brilliant Civil Servants every single day and we work together, day in, day out, to deliver on the agenda of this government and im absolutely sorry for anyone that ive upset. The report said priti patel had legitimately not always felt supported at the home office and that there was no evidence she had been aware of the impact of her behaviour. But the Prime Ministers independent adviser on ministerial standards, sir alex allan, concluded she had breached the ministerial code even if unintentionally. Borisjohnson disagreed and, as Prime Minister, has the final say. The system does make the Prime Ministerjudge and jury. But in the past, Prime Ministers have always acted when there has been a breach of the ministerial code and thats why, in a sense, this is a much more serious moment than previous ones, because the Prime Minister seems to have gone against what would have happened in the past and that does mean that you wonder what the value of the ministerial code is. Now a whitehall source says that sir alex allan had resisted pressure to make the report more palatable. A separate source told the bbc there were discussions in the summer between sir alex and borisjohnson about the challenges the report presented. A downing street spokesman said that, as you would expect, the Prime Minister spoke to sir alex allan to further his understanding of the report. But that sir alexs conclusions were entirely his own. Jessica parker, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom now. Helen, what a week. I dont think it is turning out quite how the government planned. This was about moving on for the government, because the preceding week we had seen because the preceding week we had seen huge turmoil behind the doors of downing street which had proceeded to spill out into the paint pens where two of his most senior advisers left government. Were talking here about a reset to try and focus out towards the country again in the governments plan of what it is going to do. We had a big announcement on green strategy and an increase in defence spending. There were things that meant it had been hobbled a bit before it even began. Opinion the Prime Ministers inbox less than they have track and trace meant he had to make all these announcements from behind the closed door of downing street. Some comments that he made about how devolution was working in scotland provoked a big political backlash which has overshadowed the start of his reset. And then we have the details of these pretty unedifying details of these pretty unedifying details of the report into pretty patel and controversy the report into pretty patel and co ntrove rsy o nce the report into pretty patel and controversy once again about the reaction to that report. So, for the end of this big reset week when the whole idea was to move away from talking about behind the scenes of government, on saturday morning we are talking more about the internal workings of government and controversy. Thanks very much. There have been more setbacks to Donald Trumps efforts to overturn the result of the us president ial election. Georgia has certified joe bidens win in the state, whilst Senior Republicans in michigan say theyve seen no information that would overturn mr bidens victory there. Our north american correspondent david willis reports. Since losing the election, donald trump has largely confined his displeasure with the result to twitter, and has strayed from the theme of a white house event on drug prices to reassert his victory. Big pharma ran millions of dollars of negative advertisements against me during the campaign, which i won by the way, but you know, will find that out. The president wants to see results in swing states such as michigan overturned, and republican lawmakers from that state were given a noisy reception as they arrived in washington for a meeting at the white house. Joe biden won michigan by more than 155,000 votes, and his advisers called the invitation an abuse of president ial power. So, it proved, after meeting with President Trump, the michigan lawmakers released a statement saying they had not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election, and vowed not to interfere with the process of certifying the vote. Certification in another swing state, georgia, has already taken place, however, after a hand recount of millions of ballots. Joe bidens victory there was slimmer, and the Trump Campaign could now request a machine recount. The president continues to alleged voter fraud, claiming without evidence that hundreds of thousands of votes had been cast illegally, mentioning in a tweet that without them he would have achieved a big victory. After several states dismissed his lawsuits, Donald Trumps slim hope for remaining in the white house may now rest with republican officials in battleground states setting aside the results and declaring him the winner instead, subverting the will of the voters in a move unprecedented in modern american history. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. The chancellor, rishi sunak, will outline plans to boost funding for areas outside london, at his first Spending Review next week. The move is part of the governments promise to level up opportunities across the uk. The treasury says there will be extra money for transport schemes, flood defences and faster broadband.

Deborah james, who has stage 4 bowel cancer and presents the you, me and the big c podcast was one of the first to start trialling the drug. Shejoins us now. Good morning. How are you . Im good thank you. What a milestone for the bowel cancer community. It is. Lets just go through this. You have spoken eloquently and frequently on this programme and about your experiences. Youve helped so many people, and youve literally put your body where your mouth is, because you gone into this trial and have been helping with the research. What does it involve . How is it targeting bowel cancer and the projected outcome . targeting bowel cancer and the projected outcome . I have a particular mutation in my bowel cancer. About one in ten bowel cancers have it its called a be rough mutation. Dont google be rough mutation. Dont google be rough club. Apparently the im currently self isolating at my pa rents. Im currently self isolating at my parents. I feel like a 13 year old child again. I had to go back to my pa rents child again. I had to go back to my parents and self isolate away from my children in order to have an operation to remove some active areas of cancerjust in my lymph nodes. Incredibly grateful to have this. I think ultimately for me, it was really emotional yesterday hearing the news. I was actually the case study to get these drugs approved but i received loads of m essa g es over approved but i received loads of messages over the past 24 hour is from families and patients. The saddest ones were the ones that really got me when people were saying, we have wanted these drugs for the past 12 months and my wife or my sister died waiting for them andi or my sister died waiting for them and i think its things like this that give people hope, it gives people hope and options. Its not the magic cure or other magic bullet but you know what . When you are living when you should be dead, you just want options and i say that to my oncologist. Im very lucky to be given some more options next week hopefully continue to write that tidal wave of science to keep me alive in a future that i didnt think i would ever say. There will be people who are watching who havent seen you before, have heard the podcast and will hear that you have an operation next week, you also have been part of this trial and that you are isolating away from yourfamily. And that you are isolating away from your family. You hinted and that you are isolating away from yourfamily. You hinted to and that you are isolating away from your family. You hinted to this with just the messages and how they make you feel. How do you do this . How do you feel. How do you do this . How do you get through this . What drives you get through this .

You but you are going through stuff that people cant imaginelj you but you are going through stuff that people cant imagine. I think were all going through stuff at the moment, arent we . I think thing mack has had to make is face up thing mack has had to make is face up to thing mack has had to make is face uptoa thing mack has had to make is face up to a lot of our of life. I genuinely feel incredibly grateful to be here. I have lost colleagues and friends to cancer and i know what im up against. I think a lot of People Living with cancer and it hasnt gone anywhere because of covid. Genuinely, ifeelvery privileged to be alive. I know that sounds really cheesy to say that, but i know the other side of the coin. I see the other side of the coin. I see the other side of the coin. I see the other side of the coin. I literally pinch myself for the support and the teams and to have access to my great team who keep me alive. Then on a practical note, i run a lot, dont tell my oncologist, i definitely drink a bit of wine. No one is watching, dont worry and you have to live, havent you . You worry and you have to live, havent you . You ways worry and you have to live, havent you . You ways to live. When covid struck, every one of these life got thrown into turmoil. When i was diagnosed, the first thing i did was plan my funeral and then i had to try to learn to live without really seeing a future because i didnt know that i would have a future and because of science, i am now in that future and i dont know what is round the corner. My oncologists says one day at a time, one step at a time, and i think thats the only way i can live now. Theres a lot of ivy way i can live now. Theres a lot of joy in that. I miss not being able to plan for a future but you have to find happiness in every single day, havent you . Find happiness in every single day, havent you . That is a brilliant philosophy which is why so many people love everything youre doing, your attitude. Can i check a few practical things . Back at mum and dad. So, does somebody come and knock on the door in the morning and say, on, deborah, you should be up by now as a mark my dad brings me a cup of tea its quite nice, i miss my kids though. Its great that i have that support and to have a place to go. I think it is quite hard. My kids are now 11 and 13,1 hard. My kids are now 11 and 13, i never thought i would say that, and ido miss never thought i would say that, and i do miss them. But i have to think long term. Im going to have an operation. Im actually going to give my tissue to medical science which sounds a bit random but its not random at all, because science has got me to hear and ive agreed with my oncologists that i can study my tissue to see how my kind of tumours continue to evolve. While im here, and basically making the most of reverting back to my 13 year old self. Unfortunately, i have too much work to do to lie in everyday but it would be nice. Have too much work to do to lie in everyday but it would be nicelj know it sounds silly, do you want to wave to wave your kids on the telly . Absolutely. They are called hugo and eloise. They will hate me for naming them but they are with their father who was looking after them very well. Im sure there are people up and down the country, i think anyone who is lucky enough to have an operation, thats the thing with covid. Actually, we know that cancer has been impacted so much, so if you are offered an operation to potentially extend your life, even during lockdown, you have to grab it with two hands because i know that there are so many people out there who would be desperate for that operation. Hi hugo and eloise. I think it is quite scary for anybody who is in hospital at the moment. You have to do it alone, and you rely very much on the great teams in those hospitals to just rely very much on the great teams in those hospitals tojust pick rely very much on the great teams in those hospitals to just pick you rely very much on the great teams in those hospitals tojust pick you up. I hope i think i am a bit scared to be honest because i have never gone through an operation where you are allowed to have visitors. At three oclock in the morning it is. I think it will be ok. I hope it will be ok. Firstly, good luck next week. We will all be thinking of you. I hope we get even just a phone call from you just to say how youre doing. It would be lovely to hear from you. And a personal note, it is a privilege for me every time to speak to you. And hear you because you bring great joy speak to you. And hear you because you bring greatjoy and information and hope as well. Your attitude is honestly. I bow to your attitude, its fantastic. I would add to that. I think it is time for your dad to make your second cup of tea of the day. Im gonna go for coffee. Enjoy the wine in the evening. Dont tell my oncologist. Good luck deborah. Thank you. She is brilliant. Love her to bits. You have inspiration from all sorts of things. Sometimes from all sorts of things. Sometimes from the weather and people. All sorts of things. I nervously wish you the best of luck for next week. Looking at the weather picture today. We have a lot of cloud. This weather watch picture looking out over the issue. Further north, this cold front will be pushing its way m, cold front will be pushing its way in, bringing a little bit of rain for a time. Strong winds and cooler add to the north of the uk, but that will be sliding its way northwards as we go through the course of the weekend. Right now, the cold front is bringing some heavy rain for southern scotland, but that is going to be lighter and patchy as it worked its way southwards across Northern England and into wales over the next few hours. Weve got blustery showers in scotland, and across the far north of scotland there are some very strong winds to start the day in shetland. Weve got guts running in at around 65 mph. Those peak winds easing later on in the day, but it stays very blustery. It stays mild for england and wales, a lot of cloud around and the occasional spit of drizzle here and there. 12 or 13 degrees widely. We have that cool air edging its way into scotland and Northern Ireland and also the finals of england. Overnight our cold front continues to push southwards bringing their light rain and drizzle with it. It turns quite cold but plenty of showers still running into the fast nor finals of Northern Ireland and england as well. There will be some sunshine between those showers, but they wont last in any one place for a good length of time. Wales and the midlands and east anglia will have more in the way of sunshine, and eventually we will see some brighter skies turning up across the south of england as well. Temperatures are seven to 10 celsius. That cool air does not hang around long, because this area of low pressure moves in for monday, and will have some rain in turning toa and will have some rain in turning to a south westerly direction. It is going to be a cult started is of the day on monday. Is this milder air arrives, we will have some low cloud and hill fog patches in wales and Northern England. More general rain for scotland and Northern Ireland. Staying quite chilly across the north east and milder in the south west. Milder air across all parts of the uk for tuesday. Thanks, chris. A Small Business owner in essex has started legal action against google over fake reviews. Richard boatright says the posts have damaged his business, but google wont remove them, saying it monitors content and obeys local laws. Angus crawford reports. Bad reviews can break a business. The hardest thing is, it was an invisible aggressor. They are anonymous, behind fake names, so you dont really know what to do. You feel quite helpless. Described as perfect and fully working but when we went to look at it the clutch was completely shot. One star reviews, completely fabricated. Fake names. Google will not take them down. Keeping his car sales business going during covid has been hard, made even more stressful by the stream of bogus reviews, which google still refuses to take down. It is the same response every time, that it doesnt contravene their policies, theyre very sorry and theyre going to leave it there. We provided them with Firm Information which shows that these reviews are completely fake, fabricated, that the people that supposedly are leaving them dont exist, and theyre not interested whatsoever. Google users post 20 million reviews each day. Well, they can bring a business to its knees, if you have a mass attack, somebody using multiple google accounts to attack a business, then it destroys their reputation in a matter of hours. The company told us the vast majority of reviews are helpful, relevant and authentic, and insists it monitors closely for content that violates their policies 24 7. We know that bad reviews can destroy a business. But what about all the good ones . Are they everything they appear to be . Imagine for a moment you want to get out of your time share. You might come to this business. Welcome, from the time share Termination Team uk. We found 5 star Google Reviews from happy customers, but are they really . That picture is actually of a government minister in tanzania. How about david . No, he didnt write that one either. Never heard of them time to give them a call. Some of them have never heard of you. There is no evidence the company has done anything wrong, and it says it has now launched an investigation. As for richard, in his fight against fakes, he is now taking legal action against google. A final attempt to set the record straight. Angus crawford, bbc news. Lets get more on this now with Consumer Rights expert adam french. Thank you very much forjoining us. Lots of people will have seen that and thought perhaps they are doing some shopping for the Festive Season and looking at reviews and thinking what can i trust . That story goes to show just how powerful what can i trust . That story goes to showjust how powerful these reviews are, and when they are fake and fraudulent and when they are misleading you into making purchases you wouldnt do otherwise, the kind of damage that can be caused. Its extraordinary that google is failing to ta ke extraordinary that google is failing to take action in this instance as well. Our own researchers found that fa ke well. Our own researchers found that fake reviews are prevalent across different platforms, from sites like google and facebook to amazon and trust pilate, and the kind of influence they have in our shopping decisions huge. The cma who regulate the consumer space, regulate estimate that billions of pounds worth of Consumer Spending every single year, when we research the effect these reviews have they doubled the likelihood that you will be buying a dead product if it has fa ke be buying a dead product if it has fake five star reviews. So it cannot be underestimated, the influence. Google says the vast majority of reviews are helpful, relevant and authentic. We monitor closely for content that violates our policies 20 47. With that in mind, and there is only so much that companies can do, ona is only so much that companies can do, on a practical level, if is only so much that companies can do, on a practical level, if i were to look at something and look at a review, how would i know if the review, how would i know if the review was genuine or if it was fake. I think there is more that these companies can be doing to try and shut down these fake reviews from happening in the first place. They can be quite passive and relying on people to report those reviews when they see them. But when it comes to doing your Online Shopping at the moment, the most important thing i can tell you to avoid fake reviews is to actually read the reviews notjust with the star rating. Read through the reviews. Look for repetition and other turns of phrase. Name checked Customer Service people for no apparent reason. Go into the detail of those reviews. I certainly, working with which, im always doing this now, i always look at the one star review now is because they can be quite eye opening. It can be very different to what you are reading in those reviews as well. It is all about reading the reviews and doing your research. And dont rely on just the one site. If you are an amazon and trust pilate google, look at the different sites to see if the reviews are saying Different Things. If you suspect that there is a group or there are reviews that are untrue or there are reviews that are untrue orfake, what or there are reviews that are untrue or fake, what can you do about it. Every platform that you see those fa ke every platform that you see those fake reviews and should have a reporting mechanism. Depending on the site you are run it is easier or more difficult to do that. On some there is a report button if you think there is an abuse of the reviews. Another is you can go through more laborious online process. If you have time to do so, you are protecting lots of other people from being misled by those. I think that is a really clear indication where these are really Big Tech Companies we are talking about. They are some of the Richest Companies on the planet who are servicing the reviews and they havent got a handle on this information. We had to be more proactive in shutting down these reviews in the first place before people are misled into spending their money where it could have been spent much more productively. Thank you for taking us through that. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Its just after 8. 30. The nhs has started setting up coronavirus Vaccination Centres across the uk, with the hope of getting all adults vaccinated by the spring. With infection rates dropping and plateauing in all 4 nations, the government has officially asked the medical regulator to assess the Pfizer Biontech vaccine for uk use. Its hoped once approved, vaccinations can begin as soon as next month. Theres still a lot of uncertainty about how england will come out of lockdown on the 2nd of december. Although infection rates are falling in the north west of england, the mayor of Greater Manchester, andy burnham says hes preparing for the region to be placed back into tier 3 restrictions. Hejoins us now. Can you just give us first of all the assessment of where the Greater Manchester area is at the moment in terms of the infection rate and just gives a broad picture. Im pleased to say its a much improved picture. This week for the First Time Since midjune, we were this week for the First Time Since mid june, we were able to say that infection rates were dropping in all ten boroughs of Greater Manchester and actually that reflects a similar improvement across the whole of the north west. So you may remember me saying back in the summer i thought lockdown was lifted too early for the north. We were tracking quite high rates for a time but we are seeing that rates dropping consistently across all of Greater Manchester and i just want consistently across all of Greater Manchester and ijust want to pay tribute to people for the sacrifice they made because its making a real difference now. So of course we wait and see as to what the situation is on december the 2nd when this lockdown ends. But have you got a prognosis, in terms of the our number, where you think manchester will be . One thing were saying is that you cant just look at one thing alone when you make a decision about where places go after lockdown. Its not just about where places go after lockdown. Its notjust the overall numberof lockdown. Its notjust the overall number of cases per 100,000, is whether that number is going up or down and in our case, that is going down. Yes, they will need to look at the r number but we now believe that is now below one in the north west. There is then the massively important question of hospitals. How are hospitals coping . While hours are hospitals coping . While hours are under severe pressure are hospitals coping . While hours are under severe pressure at are hospitals coping . While hours are under severe pressure at the moment, we think that the pressure is sort of stabilised and possibly is sort of stabilised and possibly is about to reduce. So its not an easy picture, but its certainly an improved picture. So where does that leave you in terms of what you would like to see . As it stands now, i think the caveat across all of this is that there is a wait and see moment. December two, there will be a reassessment of sorts. As it stands now, what is the situation that you think would best serve the people you represent in manchester . The first thing i would ask the government to bear in mind is that here, we have been under local restrictions since late june, july, early august. People cant live under perpetual restrictions. Its too much. Of course, it really damages peoples Mental Health, so what i would say to the government is bare that in mind when youre making your decision. The view that we put to the government is, please dontjust make we put to the government is, please dont just make blankets we put to the government is, please dontjust make blankets closures happen. We think its much better to look at a more targeted approach. I would say, like the gym is open, let the Leisure Centre is open. They are going to be so important to people, particularly when its harder to exercise outdoors. The 10pm curfew, i dont think that was working early this year. Im absolutely certain it wont work in the run up to christmas, it will get more and more difficult to implement. Sol christmas, it will get more and more difficult to implement. So i think what we are saying to the government is, bear in mind what everyone has been through and make judgments based on how manageable the situation will be. We need simpler, clearer messages to the public. Also something that is not going to make their life very hard to manage, particularly as we run into christmas. So the flip side of this, we we re christmas. So the flip side of this, we were speaking earlier to the deputy chief executive of nhs providers and of course they are looking at hospitals and how they are affected. I asked about restrictions, looking ahead for a period of time, in the medium term. She said that we should hold on with restrictions into the new year and beyond. Just try and squared this up for me, because what im sensing from what youre saying talking about restricting hours in restau ra nts a nd about restricting hours in restaurants and hospitality, that should be relaxed. You must realise, there is a very real and tangible risk that if we get to the 2nd of december and voices like yours, if im hearing this right, where youre saying some of these things didnt work, relax a little more, there is a very real risk that at that time of all times in the run up to christmas, that the cause and effect could be in the new year, we are going backwards, rather than forwards. Im saying something slightly different. Im saying follow the evidence. Yes, i accept that restrictions will continue to be needed but im saying make them proportionate and evidence based and there is no evidence that the 10pm curfew brings levels of infection is down. I would argue that it does the opposite because it puts everybody out on the street at the same time, like the old last orders in the old days where everybody leaves the pub at the same time. They may be go towards the shops and then gather in the home, that isnt helping. So what im saying to the government is there in mind to people a bit under restrictions, make whatever you do proportionate but also evidence based. There is no point having restrictionsjust evidence based. There is no point having restrictions just to evidence based. There is no point having restrictionsjust to be seen to be doing something. Make sure there are things that will actually bring the number of cases down. Absolutely right, january will be a tough month on the National Health service and thats why i argued a few weeks ago for an even tougher National Lockdown than the one we have just been through. But as the World Health Organization says, you cant ask people to live under perpetual lockdown. If you do, you will have a Mental Health crisis on top of a pandemic. Just one last thing, if top of a pandemic. Just one last thing, if i was a doctor working on one of the hospitals in the Greater Manchester area and as you said yourself, we know the strain they are under, the pressures they are under, it may be stabilising but its stabilising at a point of extreme pressure and im hearing you saying, do you know what because youre not looking ahead, in the run up to christmas, lets relax things, lets forget about the cu rfew. Things, lets forget about the curfew. I dont know how they might feel about what theyre saying in front of them in relation to what youre suggesting. Give us the same question twice there now. Im not saying relax things. Im saying make sure that whatever you do is proportionate, given that people have already lived under four months of restrictions. Thats what im saying. I dont think you can ask people to do things that arent going to make a difference. We are very conscious to whats happening in the nhs and we have course will do whatever is needed and yes, restrictions will still be needed andl restrictions will still be needed and i would also say to the government, dontjust and i would also say to the government, dont just go towards christmas and then let everything loose. That wont make sense either. What you need to do is keep a steady approach that will keep the numbers going in the way that they are currently going on the north west and in Greater Manchester and that will relieve the pressure on the nhs january, so im not saying let everything loose and left all the restrictions, ijust think everything loose and left all the restrictions, i just think there should be a proportionate approach to this. I wont ask the same question again. Andy burnham, thank you very much for your time. Mike is taking a look at sport. Weve been talking about the impact of heading the ball. Yes, it could change football. If the changes that are being called for are implemented, asked to head the ball less. There are calls. There are new calls for restrictions on heading in training following concerns over the number of former players suffering from dementia. The professional Footballers Association, has asked clubs, leagues and the fa to create a strategy to measure, monitor and adapt training, so theres less heading, while also identifying ways of protecting players that can make a difference to the Long Term Health of players. They also say a game wide plan, is urgently needed to dealing therea growing number with neurodegenerative diseases in football, therea growing number of majorfigures in the game, wanting change. Including the Manchester United manager, whos seen what the conditions can do to former players. Weve seen at close hand with nobby stiles and sir bobby as well of course and its a serious issue. The good thing is its now being raised awareness. I need to learn more about it myself as well and so we in football can help raise discussions, debate is going, thats good. And progress has to be made. Football focus is on bbc one at 12 o clock today. Dan walker is here to tell us whats in store. Hi dan. Another issue relating to the return of the premier league this weekend is club manager are very concerned about the lack of time between the club games and the International Matches and players also coming back with injuries plus coronavirus related issues, whether they have tested positive themselves or having to sell isolate. You match exactly. Some big issues, you touched on a few of them there. We have been speaking to geoff hurst about that on bbc breakfast earlier in the week. I know chris sutton has been speaking the last few days as well. Thats a big topic as well but congestion is always one, when you throw in as well the extra dimension of coronavirus issues this season, i think you can see why some managers are finding it particularly difficult to notjust get a team out on occasion, but also the number of games that are coming, particularly around the christmas period. Well touch on a few of those issues today. Ive also got a really interesting interview with mikel arteta who speaking to alex scott. Its almost a year since the manager left arsenal. They are now 11th under mikel arteta. Hes been talking to alec scott about all sorts of things, but one of the things they did touch on is what he learnt about success when he was working alongside pep guardiola, just down the road from where we are at the moment. I was in another club months ago and i know the standards that you have to set and what the level is, and the level is excellent every single day and we have to hit that. Is that the thing . When you took over at arsenal, it was making sure you put certain things in place and had the Building Blocks . I think you cannot build something new, something that has been damaged and hurt badly over months, over years, that you see a big split between even our own fans and the team when you are in that stadium ten months ago, i was shocked. You have to rebuild that. In order to do that, you need some pieces, you have to fill them in there and you have to start to create a puzzle and try to manage it because there are going to be some bad moments and you dont want to break it. Lots more on football focus. Got some great interviews for you. We are talking to leicester fans, currently top of the division, they are playing liverpool. Our leicester contenders . Should gary lineker be ironing his underpants once again . Shea adams from southampton is going to be on the programme.

Its going to be wigan against st helens, in rugby leagues grand final, next friday. Saints are the defending champions, and they helped on their way by a brilliant solo try from Kevin Naiqama he intercepts the ball from the catalans dragons and sets off, in sprint up the field, no one could get near him and he scored a hat trick too. 482. It finished and st helens are back in the grand final, for a record 12th time. In rugby union, i know this will seem confusing, but less than a month after winning a domestic and european double, exeter chiefs kicked off english premiership season, with a 33 points to 3 win at harlequins. Quins led through an early penalty before sam simmonds here helped exeter to victory. That the first of his three tries dave ewers and Stuart Townsend also went over in a bonus point win. Elsewhere, sale beat northampton saints 32 23 this english womens rugby are up against france. Followed by englands men up against ireland, wales face georgia. Scotland host france tomorrow, and one thing to look out for will be duncan weirs hair nothing unusual here, but this was before the first coronavirus lockdown. Like many of us the scottish fly half, started growing his hair back in march and decided not to rush to the barbers comejuly and this is how it looks now, these pictures were from just a couple of weeks ago and he has committed to growing his barnet into next year to raise money for acorns childrens hospice. And in games, he wears it in a head band, which pushes it up, quite a sight. I guess, if youre a fly half, lots of running with the ball, a lot of air resistance of your hair was like that. I watched the match last week and its quite compelling, the hairband gradually pushes it up even further. Its for a fantastic cause and the other players, going with the whole project and its spectacular. Hes raising quite a bit of money so far, its further acorn childrens hospice. He has a lwa ys acorn childrens hospice. He has always had a good head of hair. This was my observation. Obviously we are in lockdown again so no hairdressers at the moment, so i think we will get a bit of competition from the side of the sofa. It looks rather neat. Respect to mr weir, thats all i can say. Full of respect for that. He says is not going to stop as well. I think theres a way to go yet. As long as hes raising money, it could go into 2022 as well. Yet. As long as hes raising money, it could go into 2022 as weltm looks fantastic. A lot of people when they grow their hair, it grows down, but this is very leo sayer. M is very leo sayer. For those old enough to remember leo sayer. Chris is all very tidy today. Its only two weeks into lockdown, give it time cloud across england and wales, through today. I , colder air lurking , colderair lurking behind , colder air lurking behind that where we will see showers and through the weekend, that colder air will be arriving across the far south of the uk as well, so we will see some changes in the weather. Right now, the cold front is here, this area of brain you can just see sliding across Northern Ireland, scotla nd sliding across Northern Ireland, scotland seems heavier burst across the south, as the rain trickles its way across the border into Northern England and eventually wales, its likely to turn a little bit lighter as well. The odd bit of drizzle as well further south but a lot of dry and cloudy weather here. Scotland and cloudy weather here. Scotland and Northern Ireland brightening up with some sunshine but hefty showers, blustery showers as well. Strong winds driving those downpours through and in shetland at the moment, the gusts of wind are amounting to around 60 mph. For england and wales, mile through the afternoon, temperatures widely 12 or 13 degrees, but behind the cold front, the air is getting colder and the temperatures and going to be going down compared to yesterday. Highs of seven to 10 degrees. Overnight, our cold front brings cloud, light and patchy rain, southwards across wales, could be a damp end to the night here. Further north, this sky is clear but again, further showers rolling in overnight for scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north of england. Though showers will continue into sunday as well. These wont last very long in any one place due to the brisk winds and there will be some sunshine between showers as well. Brighter weather for the Northern England between showers as well. Brighter weatherfor the Northern England and wales, the midlands and east anglia to ta ke wales, the midlands and east anglia to take us through sunday with more in the way of sunshine and eventually those brighter skies. It will be a cooler day for most of us, temperatures around seven to 10 celsius or so. It then turns milder again as we head into monday, thanks to this low pressure approaching from the west, the wind is turning toa from the west, the wind is turning to a south westerly direction and we have this warm front moving in as well. That said, we start the day with some patches of rust on is that milderair with some patches of rust on is that milder air works with some patches of rust on is that milderairworks in, with some patches of rust on is that milder air works in, were properly get some low cloud, hill fog patches, damp weather here, more general rainford scotland and Northern Ireland. Quite cool across the north of the uk pertaining in the north of the uk pertaining in the south west, 12 in cardiff and 13 in plymouth. The milder air wins out and by tuesday, all of us will see temperatures into double figures but it then starts to turn cooler again into the middle part of the week and again, a mixture of sunshine and showers. The showers most frequent across northern parts of the country. Thats how the weather is looking,. Christmas might be unpredictable this year, but one thing many of us can be certain of is tucking into turkey and all the trimmings. But, with potentially smaller family gatherings, and no christmas parties, farmers are worried that their big birds will remain on the farm and not on our plates. Our Business Correspondent katy austin has this report. Its that time of year again, when we start thinking about these creatures. They might all look similar, but there are a range of different breeds. We have superminis, we have tinies, roly poly. On this farm, planning for the 2020 flock started as soon as last years had departed, largely based on what people chose last christmas. I would say the most common sizes around the seven kilo mark. How many people would that do . About 12 to 14 people. Thats quite big. Yeah, thats no left overs. Normally in the uk, around 10 million turkeys get sold for Christmas Every year, leaving 7 million fresh ones. But this year of course is not a normal year and theres still some uncertainty about how many people will be allowed to meet up together to have a Christmas Day meal. Here, there have been plenty of orders but mostly not for the big birds. Some people that would have a ten kilo turkey, they are going for seven or eight. Those who have six or seven are going forfour and a half, five kilos. Just to account for that potential of having a smaller gathering at christmas. Some of these will be sold by this butcher nearby, which also saw an early flurry of small orders. But some customers are now changing their minds and asking for bigger turkeys again. For us to give the farmers an idea of what number and size of turkeys need to be coming on increasingly difficult. Because its changing almost on a daily basis. The Home Delivery option has never been so popular. We already know its going to be incredibly busy. We are having to bring in reinforcements to help drive the delivery vans to get all of those turkeys out there in that very short window of time to deliver them. There is likely to be an oversupply of larger turkeys, notjust because of households, but because business events and parties arent happening. The farmers cant just make the turkey smaller, the breed dictates the size. They are trying to adapt to prevent waste and prevent a financial hit. This year, we are offering crowns as well, so they are buying half a turkey and then they can get a smaller portion of meat. But he is still encouraging people to buy the bigger ones. So, we are trying to push leftover recipes. Cook it for a Christmas Day and then you have plenty of meat for the week after christmas. They can also cut it, and freeze it. At this farm, they have just been trying to adapt as best they can and not fall foul of this years unpredictability. Katy austin, bbc news. So if we do still buy those bigger turkeys this year, what should we do with all the leftovers . Well two people who can share their top tips with us now are chefs rick stein and glynn purnell. Good purnell. Morning to you both. You know what good morning to you both. You know what we should start with, almost like a turkey dinner off. Who can do the best leftover turkey dish or give us the best leftover turkey dish on breakfast this morning so people can plan ahead. Rick stein, im going to start with you. Im going to go mexican because turkeys come from mexico and the states and in fact, a lot of mexican tacos are made with slow cooked meat of some sort and actually, slow cooked turkey, the original recipe was chicken, but you can use turkey as well, itsjust slow chicken, but you can use turkey as well, its just slow cooked turkey with chipotle chili and tomato. You just take your leftover turkey and you cook it longer until it sort of falling apart, you can actually pull it apart with a fork. That is the basis of tacos that you add to your tortillas to make your tacos, obviously plenty of chilly, more chilly, and you add things like guacamole, avocado and coriander with more chilly and then you add sour cream and then some lettuce and you build up tacos, but the great thing about this is that you can keep it in the freezer, it lasts forever and to me, its a fantastic and appropriate use of leftover turkey. I take your turkey tacos and ill go to glenn and say, can you raise on the turkey tacos . ill go to glenn and say, can you raise on the turkey tacos . I thought rick was going to cook fish at that point. Were talking about turkey im a true brummie. Why not stretch your culinary skills and cooked a turkey nice and slow but then put it moser or even make a nice chickpea batter and make pakoras. You could use leftover roast potatoes and some of the veg through the pakora or even like a bhaji, so almost like an indian feast, make the pastry beforehand, indian feast, make the pastry before hand, stick it indian feast, make the pastry beforehand, stick it in the freezer so beforehand, stick it in the freezer so its ready rather than trying to make that sort of stuff on boxing day, so have everything prepared, so when you prepare your christmas dinner, make a list before and what you are going to do with your leftover so youre not stressed out and trying to put everything together on the boxing day or the day after. Thats good advice. Nobody needs to be stressed at that time of year. Rick, have you got a sense yet, and we have been talking about this in relation to decorations, people have been going very early and very big decorations. You think a similar kind of thing is going to be with people at home that because things are difficult and they cant maybe have as many people round as they normally would, they are going to indulge may a little bit more than previously . are going to indulge may a little bit more than previously . I do think so bit more than previously . I do think so because in my own household, the decorations are up already. They are out in force. I think everybody is sort of really looking forward to forgetting the blues with things going on at home. Your decorations are already up . You at home now im in my Little Office but they are going up all over the place. Glen, do you buy into the idea that people are going to go for it this year . think so. I think sometimes we take for granted how special christmases and we just do the same old routine things but i think by that turkey, look at the things that rick was saying, i think really go for it. We have been locked down. Some people are not fully back at work so this is an opportunity to look up recipes and really try and stretch your culinary muscles train now, christmas and into the new year. So i think we should really go forward. Its worth saying that people are in real financial difficulty at the moment. Whilst we are celebrating the joy of buying a big turkey or whatever, its important to know that, isnt it . You can have a christmas and it doesnt have to cost a fortune. Yes, you can even, for instance, if you have bought it big turkey and your friends with your neighbour, why not take the big turkey, break in half and then that will halve your cost and also youre getting a big nice juicy bird and sort of sharing that cost if you can all stop you can actually get your local butcher to break it down for you as well, if you want to share that cost, that would be a great idea as well. You know over christmas where you end up having too many christmas dinners. Have you ever struggled with that one . We just think, im done. Because in the old days used to have christmas parties, there would be a christmas dinnerand parties, there would be a christmas dinner and you would have that one and then you would go around to one relatives house and have one, then on Christmas Eve and then there would be a leftover one. Did you buy into that or did you have a cut off point . Its always a bit of a problem, isnt it . Well, it is always a bit of a problem. I was just thinking about leftover turkey is. Its been cooked, you can always freeze it because the day after boxing day and youre still trying to get through the turkey, you cant stand the taste of turkey any more, but if you freeze it and it away for a bit, especially if you make Something Like this mexican smoky turkey tacos, then it becomes a pleasure again. The thing about christmas is that it is a time for excess and the whole point of christmas is to forget that you are out in the dead of winter. So actually to substitute your blues with the weather and everything, with the weather and everything, with the weather and everything, with the thoughts of, oh god, not turkey again. Its quite pleasant. Its been lovely chatting to you. Lets have a look at your decorations next time, rick i would like to see them next time i chat to you. Im sure my wife would be delighted good to catch up. Will be back with the headline shortly. Good morning, and welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt.

Thats the new message from the players football union, following the growing concerns over the number of former players, suffering from dementia. Good morning. Cooler air is arriving further north of the uk today, with rain followed by blustery showers and some sunshine. In the south, it stays mild but pretty cloudy, and that cool air is moving across all of the uk by the time we get to tomorrow. I will have the full forecast coming up a bit later on. Its saturday 21st november. Our top story. The nhs has started setting up coronavirus Vaccination Centres across the uk with the hope of getting all adults vaccinated by the spring. With infection rates dropping and plateauing in all four nations, the government has officially asked the medical regulator to asses the Pfizer Biontech vaccine for uk use. Anna oneill reports. This is the ray of light as described by the Health Secretary. Millions of doses of this of this Pfizer Biontech vaccine against covid 19 could be heading to britain as early as next month, and the nhs is getting ready for a mass Vaccination Programme. We will be ready to start the vaccination next month with the bulk of the roll out in the new year. We are heading in the right direction. Yesterday, another 511 people died within 28 days of catching covid 19. But there may be signs that the r rate is flattening. In the latest office for National Statistics survey, one in 80 people in england were thought to have coronavirus similar to the week before. In scotland it was one person in 155 and rates were levelling off. In wales it was one person in 165, with rates decreasing over the last two weeks. In Northern Ireland, rates have been decreasing over four weeks, and one in 135 people are infected. The deputy chief medical officer for england is cautiously optimistic. Overall, clearly, it is an improving picture. These are very early signs that the epidemic is beginning to level, but we should be cautious about interpreting that, and please, everyone, remember that it just takes a few seconds to create new infections. Christmas family get togethers may still be in doubt, but some restrictions are being lifted today. The government has changed lockdown rules in england so that Christmas Tree farms and sellers can start trading from this morning. Anna oneill, bbc news. Borisjohnson is facing questions over whether he tried to tone down an independent report, which found that the home secretary priti patel broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. Downing street has insisted the conclusions of sir alex allans investigation were entirely his own. Our Political Correspondent, helen catt is in our london newsroom now. So, for people trying to follow this story, we know what the report said and what the Prime Minister said about the report and that pretty patel keeps herjob. There are increasing questions about stuff that happened in and around. So just to ta ke that happened in and around. So just to take you back a little bit this was an inquiry into the behaviour of the home secretary pretty patel, and it found that she shouted and has sworn its staff and some of her behaviour amounted to behaviour that could have been described as bullying in its impact. It also found that pretty patel had legitimately and not always that not felt supported by the department. Weve got a slight problem with the sound at the moment, so we will sort that out and come back to you in a moment if thats ok. There have been more setbacks to Donald Trumps efforts to overturn the result of the us president ial election. Georgia has certified joe bidens win in the state, whilst Senior Republicans in michigan say theyve seen no information that would overturn mr bidens victory there. Our north america correspondent david willis reports. Since losing the election, donald trump has largely do confined his displeasure with the results of twitter, and has strayed from the theme of a white house event on drug prices to reassert his victory. Big pharma ran millions of dollars of negative advertisements against me during the campaign, which i won by the way, but you know, will find that out. The president wants to see results in swing states such as michigan overturned, and republican lawmakers from that state were given a noisy reception as they arrived in washington for a meeting at the white house. Joe biden won michigan by more than 155,000 votes, and his advisers called the invitation an abuse of president ial power. So, it proved, after meeting with President Trump, the michigan lawmakers released a statement saying they had not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election, and vowed not to interfere with the process of certifying the vote. Certification in another swing state, georgia, has already taken place, however, after a hand recount of millions of ballots. Joe bidens victory there was slimmer, and the Trump Campaign could now request a machine recount. The president continues to allege voterfraud, claiming without evidence that hundreds of thousands of votes had been cast illegally, mentioning in a tweet that without them he would have achieved a big victory. After several states dismissed as lawsuits, Donald Trumps slim hope for remaining in the white house may now rest with republican officials in battleground states setting aside the results and declaring him the winner instead, subverting the will of the voters in a move unprecedented in modern american history. Normal service is resumed with helen, i think. Normal service is resumed with helen, ithink. Letsjust normal service is resumed with helen, i think. Letsjust pick up where we began. People have been following this as closely as they can. They saw what was in the report and how Boris Johnson can. They saw what was in the report and how borisjohnson reacted and he said there was no case to be heard here. Now, there are questions about who did what during the process. Here. Now, there are questions about who did what during the processm as you said, this report was the end ofan inquiry as you said, this report was the end of an inquiry into the home secretary pretty patel saying that she had shouted and sworn at some staff and said that her behaviour amounted to what could be described as bullying and its impact. Sir alan is said that that was a breach of the ministerial code. It is up to the ministerial code. It is up to the Prime Minister on to say whether that had the most ministerial code had been broken. She has apologised and stays in herjob. Thats where we got to yesterday. A source has told the bbc that there were discussions in the summer between siralan and discussions in the summer between sir alan and Boris Johnson discussions in the summer between sir alan and borisjohnson about the challenges the report presented. A second source has said that sir alan resisted pressure to make the report more palatable. Another source says as you would expect, borisjohnson spoke to sir alan as a means of understanding the report better. An independent investigation has been called for. A procession of cars will drive through birmingham this afternoon, to mark the 46th anniversary of a terrorist attack in the city. The birmingham pub bombings killed 21 people and those responsible have never been brought to justice. Phil mackie reports. It is 46 years since bombs were set off in two busy pubs in Birmingham City centre. The carnage caused at the mulberry bush and the tavern in the town left 21 dead, and more than 200 hurt, many with life changing injuries. Although it is thought members of an ira cell were behind the attacks, nearly five decades later, it is not known exactly who was to blame. Today is about more than just the anniversary. Its about the growing campaign for a public enquiry, including new voices from a generation that was not even born back in 1974. The home secretarys decision to consider a Public Inquiry has given campaigners new hope. There is always an element of hope, thats why we campaign. If we dont have hope theres no point in us campaigning. We might as well give up. We will never give up, and we will never give up, we will never go away, untiljustice is seen to be done. Our loved ones are not here to fight for justice themselves. We are their voice and we will continue to fight and campaign until their voices are well and truly heard. Because of covid, this years Memorial Service had to be recorded before lockdown, and there cant be a large gathering at the memorial for the 21 who died. Instead, supporters are planning to drive in convoy around the city centre, more optimistic than they have been for many years. Phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. A Small Business owner in essex has started legal action against google over fake reviews. Richard boatright who runs a car sales firm, says the posts have damaged his business but despite repeated complaints, they arent being removed. Google says it monitors content for violations 24 hours a day and obeys local laws. This week weve heard details of a potential covid vaccine, the roll out of an extended flu jab programme and suggestions of what restrictions may be in place over christmas. But there are still many questions over what the next month may look like. To try and make sense of it all and to answer your questions, were joined now by gp dr sarahjarvis and professor calum semple who sits on the governments sage committee, but is talking to us in a personal capacity. Good morning to you both. Lets dive straight in. Professor semple, we have heard about these daily testing processes that are being trialled in liverpool. Daily tests are to be given every day next week. It is pa rt given every day next week. It is part of the mass testing programme. People hear about this, but why is it so important . I really easy example, for the first time testing will no longer be seen as punitive action where you are forced into isolation. We are going to be able to use testing to enable visiting to ca re to use testing to enable visiting to care homes, and starting on tuesday we are pilot piloting 12 care homes to make visiting elderly relatives much safer. What happens in that process . Much safer. What happens in that process . The people who are being tested, there are concerns that if they are asymptomatic asymptomatic whether those tests are accurate enough, and if they are not, what is the point . They might be asymptomatic and still have it. The results are not perfect, but they are probably catching at least four out of five people who are in the early stages of incubating the virus, so they could spread it but have not shown symptoms. So that is better than doing nothing, and that is really important. The second step is really important. The second step isa is really important. The second step is a false positive, and that could be as high as one into depending on prevalence, but we can get around that by doing a pcr test locally. That brings the issue down as well. We see this as a win win in our community, when it is done in a very targeted fashion, particularly for hotspot wards when you have. We can bring lateral flow into that community in the unit. That is usually a point important to people social inequity. They dont have ca rs social inequity. They dont have cars and the means to get in. It is not just a population cars and the means to get in. It is notjust a population wide attempt to test everyone. It is about targeting key workers, key areas of transmission, and then enabling people to get into the care homes to visit relatives, and lets not forget our prisoners, get into prisons too, and the way we look after our present nose is a measure of our humanity. In the press briefing, the phrase plateau was used in relation to where we are with the spread of the virus. Can you explain what that means . with the spread of the virus. Can you explain what that means . If the our number is above one, then for every one person who is infected, they infect more than one other person. If the our number is one. Then one person on average of facts one other. That means you have a flat number of cases. Plateauing comment means it is plateauing off. On the whole, one person is infecting one of the person on average. What we need to bear in mind, is if we need to get the numbers down, the our number needs to come down the other side and needs to be quite a long way down in order to stop arise immediately when wem order to stop arise immediately when we m open up restrictions. Julie has got in touch with the question. Sarah, i wanted to book a week away in england to stay in a cottage in mid december. December two is when the lockdown stops. I want to know whether im able to travel book with confidence, or not at all, please. The problem we have got is the lag. So for instance, what we saw nine days ago which was a week after lockdown came in, was this huge spike in cases which we think had happened because people were making the most of being able to get out and about and socialise and people. So live their lives before lockdown came in. The figures we have got now only go up to the 14th of november, the ones that were referred to just a few moments ago. We think the our number is about one to 1. 1, and we think it is coming down which is great. But it is still going up in the south east and in the east of england and in london, so what we wont know is, before mid december, until about two weeks beforehand, what the figures are likely to be like. My feeling is that this is all going to be like the analogy of figures are coming down, i have jumped out of an aeroplane, ive got a parachute, my descent is slowing so now a parachute, my descent is slowing so now i can take the parachute. Ive got concerns about that. Professor semple, you will know the conversations that are happening about whether or not a break or an easing of restrictions over christmas may help, or if there would be more damaging than not. The reason many of these conversations are taking place is because of the vaccine, and hearing that there are various vaccines that are moving forward in terms of research stages thatis forward in terms of research stages that is offering some hope. We have had a question from martin, i suppose this is related to the speed at which we are seeing these new vaccines emerge in comparisons to other times that vaccines have been developed and go through regulatory procedures. How strict have these procedures. How strict have these procedures been, and how reassuring should that be . The reason that we have been able to move quickly is because, first of all, the science was on the shelf ready to be tweaked to make the vaccine good for covid 19. Secondly, paradoxically, because we have a large number of cases in the community in the uk and in brazil, the vaccine has been tested on a very large number of people very quickly. That has sped up people very quickly. That has sped up both the tests for efficacy and the test for safety. The regulatory process co m es the test for safety. The regulatory process comes just at the end and thatis process comes just at the end and that is the scrutiny. That is going to ta ke that is the scrutiny. That is going to take exactly the same amount of time in the same amount of scrutiny. Ican time in the same amount of scrutiny. I can assure you that the safety aspects will have been covered because of the large amounts of people on which the vaccine has been trialled. Im one of them. I have had either the vaccine or placebo. You dont know which one that was. But in terms of that, is that typical that you would all volunteer yourself as Something Like that . You felt completely safe been part of that process . Absolutely, yes. I have confidence in the science and the people doing it. The very last bit of protein that is used on the, for these vaccines, is artificial or constructed. The vaccine that has been put inside is very established and has been used for other diseases and has been used for other diseases and isa and has been used for other diseases and is a very well established vector. And pfizer and biontech have developed a vaccine for cancer therapy, and the understanding of how to use the liposome structures to carry the rna genes to carry the proteins for cancer, is very well established too. We have been able to go from the coronavirus, sequencing it, taking the qubit of sequence sequencing it, taking the qubit of sequence to put into these faxing and then starting the trial what has been brilliant. Everybody has got that thought that there is may be some light at the end of the tunnel because of the vaccine being developed. Neal in york has been in touch with us. He said years ago his lucky enough to receive a liver transplant and has heard about the vaccine in the last couple of weeks or so. Vaccine in the last couple of weeks or so. Would they work on solid organ recipients like myself who now have a weakened immune system . Yes, this is a really important question and one that we hear a lot because obviously people who have had Organ Transplants are on the previous shielded left and ari considered extremely vulnerable. They are extremely vulnerable. They are extremely worried about the risk of catching it. The good news is that exactly like callum i have complete comp evidence that i have rolled up my sleeve and had no side effects whatsoever. I dont know from the trial if i got the real thing of the placebo but what we know is that these are not life vaccines. That means that as with the flu we actively encourage people who have their immune system is suppressed to come forward to for vaccination because there is no greater risk for them. As callum said, this is not them. As callum said, this is not the whole virus you are getting. It isa tiny the whole virus you are getting. It is a tiny tiny bit of it and it cannot cause an infection, and you have even more to gain if you have had the vaccination. On a practical note, we have heard about how their vaccine needs to be stored and there are these big facilities that are being built, to plants, ithink. How will it be stored, and how quickly that cannot be set up and how much can it store, in those practical just rolling it out . There is good news here as well. Along with developing the chain of freezer systems across the country, there is now growing evidence that the last, not quite the last mile but the last day comes to lower temperature without damaging them vaccines effectiveness. That is going on in parallel with other parts of the assessment. It is a really surprising fact about how much cold storage there is available nationally, and there are many sources of very low temperature storage capacity. We can be quite inventive with this kind of stuff, because you can use dry ice, and the availability of dry ice is ubiquitous in society. There is a large number of craze places you can get these products from, breweries all the way through to specialist plants that produce it for other purposes. I dont see that as being a problem. Lovely talking to you both. A bit disappointed that you havent done an aircraft analogy for us. It seems to me that people in the medical profession love an aircraft analogy. We had one yesterday and just then from sarah. You gave us a lovely aircraft analogy, parachute base. Have you got one for us, callum . My favourite is the super tanker, thats why there is this lag in the cases. What i have seen in liverpool is that the tier 3 system was like taking the power of the supertanker, so instead it is just power of the supertanker, so instead it isjust gliding, power of the supertanker, so instead it is just gliding, but the lockdown is putting the brakes on. Thats the big difference. Thats why we can be really confident that the north west is coming out of this earlier. If i had a crystal ball, i think the north west is going to have a cracking christmas. Thank you for the transport analogy, it all adds further mix. Good to see you both. Chris is waiting there asking what we are going to make him do in terms of analogies. I know youll have something, chris. I got a prompt here. This is kind of what youre going to get. The game of two halves, Something Like that. Were going to see cloud to start of the weather picture across england and wales. This is gloucestershire earlier on. The cloud is ahead of this cold front, but behind it, it is turning colder with a mixture of sunshine and showers, moving into scotla nd sunshine and showers, moving into scotland and Northern Ireland. By the time we get to tomorrow, some cooler air across more northern portions of the uk as well. The stripe of rain across Northern Ireland and southern scotland, is moving in to Northern England with some damp weather moving into wales as well. We will have damp and drizzly weather here. And the odds but further south as well. It is a day of sunshine and showers. The showers will be heavy and thundery at times, with gusty winds too. The winds continue to gust into the 16 bells are now. It is very blow here. But strong winds mean the showers blow through quickly. They dont hang around in any one place a one length of time. In england and wales, temperature is about 12 or 13 celsius. In scotland far north of england and Northern Ireland, temperatures generally seven to 10 celsius. Overnight damp and drizzly weather across southern parts of england and wales in the midlands. Further showers for scotland and Northern Ireland, and those showers will still be with us into sunday. Brighter weather for Northern England and wales, and eventually those brighter skies should push into the south of england too. Thank you very much. Wales ended its nationalfirebreak almost two weeks ago, but tourist hotspots are still being hit hard by tough restrictions across the border. Its been estimated that more than half of businesses that rely on tourism in wales have remained closed during englands lockdown. Tomos morgan reports. November in north west wales, and the famous weather has already kicked in. Wales finished its firebreak almost two weeks ago, but even with the rain, it still feels eerie on the streets of aberdovey. Just like a lockdown that is still in place. It has never been so quiet for this time of year in all of the 13 years peter holt has run his cafe. Does it feel a little bit like a ghost town at the moment here . Its nice for the locals. The locals absolutely love it. But as a business, we need people, the people need to come. We feel a bit safer. I know we can travel anywhere in wales, but i dont think people are tending to do that either. After the first lockdown, tourist hotspots across wales saw record numbers visiting with fewer people wanting to go abroad for their holidays. But areas like aberdovey, according to the Welsh Tourism Alliance, are 80 to 90 reliant on visitors coming from england, so a lockdown over the border has a Significant Impact on businesses. From the celtic manor resort outside of newport, to zip world and its adventure attractions in snowdonia, to the famous italian style village here, some of the tourist hotspots have remained close during this period. It is estimated by the Welsh Tourism Alliance that 50 of businesses in the sector have remained closed in wales as the lockdown in england goes on. The restaurant is closed, the buyer is closed, 26 bedrooms are closed for half a week. This Mansion Hotel on the outskirts of aberystwyth have closed the majority of their operations and decided to only partially reopen half of their 26 rooms, three days a week until the end of the month. We based our decision purely on the lockdown in england. Its a major part of our business coming in. How can long can you keep going in this kind of state of in and out, partially open . Well, we couldnt. I dont think any business can. It definitely needs unification now. Its a shame that the two governments as well as scotland and Northern Ireland are not working together so that we can get on the same song sheet. You know, people tend to forget that this virus is the same virus in england and wales and scotland and Northern Ireland. In a response, a spokesperson from the Welsh Government said. A response from authorities in westminster said. Whether or not the lockdown in england would finish in december the 2nd will have a knock on effect on much of waless economy. And with the prospect of another lockdown early in the new year here in wales, what this industry really needs is some assurances that it can get off to a flying start in 2021. It isa it is a very difficult time. If you are hoping for change. It is coming up are hoping for change. It is coming up to half past nine. Were on bbc one until 10am this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. Good morning, matt. Good morning. dont know if charlie wanted to chat to you but i want to chat to you.

Why do you go back there. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Mike, all morning youve been taking a look at the issue of heading the ball. Its about during the training and the safety of the players. Reducing the emphasis on heading the ball certainly in training. It could look different going forward, but could it protect players . Players need is greater protection and the game wide plan is urgently needed according to. It follows the growing concerns over the number of former players suffering from dementia. The p. F. A says its responding to the ongoing research, and wants to see less heading of the ball in training. It has also asked clubs, leagues and the fa to create a strategy to measure, monitor and adapt training, while also identifying ways of protecting players that can make a difference, to the Long Term Health of players. They also say a game wide plan, is urgently needed to dealing, with neurodegenerative diseases in football. Earlier on breakfast, we spoke to the former player and campaigner, chris sutton, whose father mike, a former player himself is suffering from dementia. What has been encouraging in the last few days is the support from within the game which is what this campaign has needed with the likes of geoff hurst, david beckham, and Frank Lampard talking about potentially changing the training techniques because of the risk of dementia. This isjust a really common sense step dementia. This isjust a really common sense step to take. What is the downside of doing this . Then were trying to change the concussion rolling, football is in the dark ages with this one. There is no cure for alzheimers, there is no cure for dementia, its the most horrible way to die and i know from personal experience. My dad in the way he suffered. Its not forgetting your car keys, its not miss laying your car keys, its not miss laying your glasses case. We know there is a lot of money in the game now, but these players of yesteryear, they dont have the finance in the funds. Were just saying, can you give them a little of support . Their wives or partners who are looking after them 24 hours a day, they are not getting a break in the week and i know from my mums experience, it really takes its toll. I dont think this is too much to ask. This is the next step and there is talk of a task force and there is talk of a task force and thats all well and good, but these people need help and they need help right now. They need help immediately. Because it will change their lives. Chris sutton speaking to his earlier about an issue close to his earlier about an issue close to his earlier about an issue close to his heart and one of a growing number of voices calling for change. Next were talking tennis and Novak Djockovich faces Dominic Thiem today, in the semi finals of the atp finals in london, but if youre inspired by the elite who can still play, to get onto court yourself, with your family or those in your bubble, well you cant in england, as all the courts are closed. The government says for the latest lockdown to work, all Grassroots Sports had to be treated equally, but the Lawn Tennis Association argues tennis is the perfect sport, for social distancing. Ive been to clubs in hampshire this week, to look at the impact on the grassroots game. Nick and penny bates are doing their best to rally their spirits, and tennis is key to their physical and Mental Health. But while theyre allowed to knock about in this park in basingstoke, theyre shut out from the proper surface in the Tennis Courts just beside. Well, its very frustrating, because we are in the same household, we can play tennis together in a car park, or indeed in the park here, but we cant play on a tennis court. That, to us, is very strange. Tennis on a tennis court, youre a good ten metres apart, and i think many of our age are missing it hugely. The totally tennis club here in basingstoke doesnt have membership. It relies purely on people like nick and penny coming and paying to play on court. Without them coming in, theres no income. Now, after the struggles of the first lockdown they were boosted by a surge of new players come here over the summer. The worry is now, after this second lockdown, will there such enthusiasm . Ive taken on three new tennis coaches, and then we locked down. So unfortunately they are at home and they are not having any income at the moment. So that is difficult. And we hope that people wont decide that actually, it isnt worth hanging on for, waiting for people to come back and play. We need to know that were going to be able to open up again in december. The government says that while it understands tennis lends itself to social distancing, it had to be fair to all Grassroots Sports, and argued if you started opening the door to one and then another, the lockdown would be less effective. And while it may be some time before tennis sessions look like this again, the government has offered the Lawn Tennis Association £5 million in loans as part of a multisport bailout, while clubs like totally tennis can apply for a chunk of a separate public support package for public lesiure facilities. You need a raquet each and a ball. That could be some relief for assistant coach and Basingstoke College student isla, who hopes that the online classes she did with her brother during the first lockdown will help keep Young Players she teaches engaged once more. I dont understand, because i can be this close in college, but i cant be 78 feet away . Here, we make sure theyre distanced, were sanitising their hands at the start and the end, so why cant we do it . I miss seeing kids improve and seeing them smile. Hunter the dog may love the fact that olivia and eloise are forced to practise their skills at home again, but they miss the coaching and going to the local course too. Its really not the same because you dont, if youve got a small garden, you cant really use the same space as you would in a tennis court. Lockdown may be a chance for some maintenance, but the lta remains concerned about the future of many indoor tennis centres, especially if theyre not allowed to open in december. And yet the large domes, its argued, allow lots of distancing. One of the problems with playing indoortennis, keeping it going as a business, is that its such a big area, now thats an advantage. Certainly air halls, where theres air circulating all the time, theres always a breeze in it. Were fortunate here, in that weve got loyal sponsors, loyal members, but a lot of the commercial clubs, they are going to struggle. I dont feel its going to make that much difference, just stopping one or two things thats safest out of all of that. In Northern Ireland, courts have reopened under certain restrictions, but theyll shut again next friday as part of their latest firebreak lockdown. In wales, all courts have reopened after their lockdown ended. In scotland, some grassroots tennis is still permitted but the level of activity depends on which tier of restrictions youre living under. Back in england, for now, players are just being encouraged to keep engaged with the sport. Whether it be playing inside or doing online virtual classes, or, like nick and penny, braving the weather in the park, it does give you that feeling of smashing an ace even if its to no one, and you just have to run and go and get the ball. What really matters here is when players can get back on the court again. A crucial few weeks ahead when we find out what happens for grassroots players across england on the clubs themselves. Nick and penny are worried that some of their friends wont come back. Its really hard with sport. If you do something regularly and, i feel about golf, you know how much i love golf but when you stop doing something regularly, its so easy to fall out of the habit. Its a real effort to get back in. Absolutely. Hopefully they can get back to it. It is 20 minutes to ten. Earlier this year, two of the nolan sisters linda and anne spoke about undergoing chemotherapy in lockdown, after both were diagnosed with cancer. Their treatment means theyve also had to shield and to make it easier theyve moved in with their other siblings, maureen and denise. Now, theyre urging anyone living with shielders to get the free flu vaccine. We can speak to linda and denise now. Good morning. How are you . We are good, thank you. Excellent. Im seeing the badge there, ive had my flu vaccine. This is something that you are both very passionate about. Tell us why. I think because when i was diagnosed, as you said earlier, i moved in with denise to live with her so she could look after me during my treatment. Of course, with my chemotherapy, my immune system is shot to pieces and so i didnt realise, i know its ridiculous, but people still die from the flu, 11,000 people a year die from the flu and consequently, i was set to have the flu jab, but also denise could have it for free because shes a im shielding with her. I have it every year anyway for the last few years, but for people for whom money isa years, but for people for whom money is a big deal, the fact that its free, you can get it free if you shielding with someone who has an underlying illness. I just shielding with someone who has an underlying illness. Ijust think its a no brainer. The thought that i would give cancer, cancer sorry, shes already got that. The thought that i would give her flu fills me with dread. I cant imagine because it could kill her. It kills other people even without underlying illnesses. I think people are frightened to go and they dont want to go to the surgery of the chemist or the hospital or whatever, but really, you can almost guarantee that theyre the safest places to be at the moment because they are extra vigilant and everything. When i went to my flu jab, i went to my gp, they booked me in, by the time i checked m, booked me in, by the time i checked in, they called me through, by the time id taken one arm out, she put the injection in, i put my coat on and went, it was all over in five minutes. Im someone who has always beena minutes. Im someone who has always been a bit scared of needles. She had to say to me, youre done, you can go had to say to me, youre done, you can go now. Had to say to me, youre done, you can go now. It doesnt hurt at all, i wasnt even sure she done it. The care, the hand gel, everything was so care, the hand gel, everything was so safe. And with whats going on in the world at the moment with the pandemic, which is a respiratory illness, if i got the flu and got covid, i wouldnt survive. I would die. And just for the sake of making an appointment and having the vaccine is, like i said, no brainer. It such an Important Message and it comes across very well aware you are telling it. I just comes across very well aware you are telling it. Ijust have to say obviously that there is no lack of conversation in the shared nolan household. That is obvious. And the point you are making before,. said that was rude just an observation denise, pick up on this theme for me because whenever we talk to medics at the moment, one of the things i really emphasise is the stress the nhs is under at the moment. The last thing they need is people getting ill with flu and as you rightly said, people do and can get very ill with flu and they dont need more people in the system needing treatment. Even if it doesnt kill you, for people like linda, and people like my partner who has parkinsons, you could kill them. But even if you dont die from it, its a horrible illness, bedridden, you cant eat, cant drink, its horrendous. And you are a drain on the nhs and you dont need to be, just because you havent had the injection. Or its interesting, go on, linda. Its interesting, go on, linda. Its interesting that people dont realise. Now that they have allowed the carers to have it free of charge as well and to not be a drain on the nhs by being ill and having to have more appointments and everything, its really something that people should seriously think about. We we re should seriously think about. We were talking to deborahjames who has stage four bowel cancer and she was talking about a new treatment shes been part but also how she is isolating away from her children. Very similarly to you both, you had to change your lives and you are missing family. How has it been for you both . How are you dealing with this, as well try to deal with it our own way . Thats all you can do. Just try and do what works for you. I moved in with denise in 2017, i was re diagnosed then. i moved in with denise in 2017, i was rediagnosed then. I couldnt get rid of green that it strengthened our relationship, we both like the same things, but we are missing the little ones, our great nieces and nephews and weve been able to see our sisters at some point because weve been filming for a new tv series, so thats kind of made it a little bit easier, but there are times when i think, i will just nip to the shop to get something and then i think, i cant. I cant go to the supermarket, not supposed to. So that is difficult. cant imagine beat somebody being on their own. My heart goes out to anybody on their own. Its horrendous. But there is help. Make a phone call. Dont put up with it. Everyone knows that loneliness is one of those real stresses in amongst everything going on at the moment. Just because im interested, whos cooking . Take a through a bit of domestic stuff . I do most of the cooking, linda did a Roast Chicken yesterday but we couldnt eat it. Denise does most of the cooking, actually. Shes brilliant. And of course, take a ways and all of that, they are still working thankfully. But willjust maybe watch some foot ball but willjust maybe watch some football today, well watch that, well watch strictly tonight, we are mad strictly fans. Its delightful seeing you, and the love between you and how you are helping each other. So thank you very much. Take care. Dont forget that flu jab that is you told. Heres chris with a look at this mornings weather. Feels unusually mild. Yes, its one of those nights where temperatures have been rising a bit through the night. Its mild because we have a bit of cloud and the winds are becoming from a south westerly direction across england and wales but we have a cold front that is moving in further northwards behind this front, we have much cooler air thats arriving and through the weekend, that cool air is going to move from scotland and Northern Ireland, southwards across england and wales, so the weather will be cooling down over the next day or so. Cooling down over the next day or so. The cold front here, this band of rain here you can see on the radar picture across Northern Ireland, across southern scotland, the front itself weakening as it moves into Northern England and wales bringing mainly light outbreaks of rain for these areas, ahead of that front thats where the mild areas further north, scotland and Northern Ireland seeing a sunshine and blustery showers. It will remain windy as well. Across the far north of scotland in shetland, there was wind gusts will continue to run into the low 605. Its milder cro55ing than in wales, 12 or 13 degrees, but further north, the cool air is arriving and so tho5e temperatures are just dropping a few degrees compared with what we had on friday. This evening and overnight, the cold front continue5 to push southwards taking its rain and drizzle southwards acro55 5outhern counties of england where it will be a damp into the night. Sky is clear a little bit further northwards but continue to see some showers overnight. For scotland and Northern Ireland, probably the far north of thing when it was well. The showers will still be with us on sunday, so another day where it will be quite blustery, showers moving across the skies pretty quickly and the weather brightens up with some 5un5hine. A much brighter day for wale5 5un5hine. A much brighter day for wales and Northern England, the midlands and east anglia with more in the way of sunshine and eventually, tho5e brighter skies will probably make their way down towards the far south of england as well. For most of us, it will feel a bit cooler, around seven to 10 celsius. Owing to the start of the new week, another area of low pressure m ove5 new week, another area of low pressure moves in off the atlantic. Thi5 pressure moves in off the atlantic. This one bringing a warm front across the country, the country, the wind5 behind that starts to turn more to a south westerly direction which is a milder direction.

Chris, thank you enjoy the rest of the weekend. Care homes have been hit hard by covid this year, and with christmas approaching, staff and residents are due some festive joy. This little tree may not look like much but its brought plenty of happiness to one home in gloucestershire. Residents have been posting wi5he5, asking for anything from a chat with Sir Cliff Richard to driving a ferrari and some of them just may have been granted. Lets have a look. Hi there, i hearyoure hi there, i hear youre not well and iju5t hi there, i hear youre not well and i just wanted to send hi there, i hear youre not well and iju5t wanted to send this hi there, i hear youre not well and ijust wanted to send this message to tell you, you are in my thoughts in my prayers. Lots of love and god bless. How is that . I was surprised at the speed of the car. I am the dog who bit the ball and ruined the game. I wasnt too knowable wont go if you added a couple of holes. The kids and dad they all went mad, they sent me indoors they did. The ball was new, a beautiful blue and it cost him several quid. I took my test around. And it was my second attempt that i passed my test and then i work for my dad driving his van doing the plastering and then he bought me a van himself and then i drove to europe and went skiing and everything else. Lets talk now tojim storror, one of the residents whose wish came true, and to david ible, who works at the care home. What a lovely idea this is. So many people have been engaged with this, tell it how it came about. We just thought it would be a really fantastic idea to give the residents something to look forward to, something to look forward to, something to look forward to, something to make them feel special, something to make them feel special, something that would grab their wishes and make their dreams come true. Well, jim, you had your wish granted. Tell us about it and what it meant to you. It meant a lot to me because as a driving instructor, i dealt with many different types of people and when you get a chap like eddie comes along, hes full of happiness and good will and hes a terrific guy its a dream because you do get some difficult people. Easy to teach, full of interest and it was special. Especially when i suggested to dave, i suggested eddie the eagle. Dave said thats right. And i said its a small world, because i told him to drive. And he said, are really . Would you mind if i get said, are really . Would you mind if iget in said, are really . Would you mind if i get in touch with him and told him. And he did that and it was a complete surprise to get a video from eddie and true to form, he was full of praise and thanking me for helping him and its very nice to know because lots has happened since i was know because lots has happened since iwasa know because lots has happened since i was a driving instructor and i still have good memories of life as a driving instructor and being thanked for helping someone makes it all worthwhile. Jim, its absolutely lovely to hear that, you with a driving instructor, eddie was one of your students. I know you seen the message from him but hopefully, right now we can say hello to eddie who is listening into our conversation. Morning, eddie. Im going to try and connect the pair of you together. I know you sent a message already, eddie is there anything you would like to say to jim . Because he taught you how to drive. Morning, jim. I want jim . Because he taught you how to drive. Morning, jim. Iwant to jim . Because he taught you how to drive. Morning, jim. I want to thank you again. Even i sent you the message before, but i think driving instructor are great people and when you are a young adult and you want to learn to drive, its freedom. Learning to drive and passing your test, you have all that freedom and it meant so much to me. I was able to work with my dad doing the plastering and then when i went skiing, my dad bought me a car and i we nt skiing, my dad bought me a car and i went to europe and then i went on to great things into the winter olympics. I want to thankjim because in part, he helped me achieve my dream. Jim, over to you. Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to have known you and help you. One thing i will say on your behalf is that when you are skiing, things didnt turn out all that well, but you had the grace to turn it on its head and from something quite bad it came out good and people loved you for that. All over the world, you made a lot of friends and as the world, you made a lot of friends and as i said before, one of the best chaps that i knew, certainly who i taught and i wish you all the best. Thank you very much. Thank you. Isnt it lovely . When you talk to teachers, it could be schoolteachers, driving instructors, people who have really changed your life. And youre in the position that you are in now, we know you as eddie the eagle, you are in a position to bring some of thatjoy back. How did you react when the ca re back. How did you react when the care home got in touch . back. How did you react when the care home got in touch . I thought it was great. David been in touch me a few times, im hoping to going turn on the Christmas Lights for them in december. Well properly have to do it outside and people can look from their windows, will do it very safely. Its brilliant even my schoolteacher who allowed me to go on my very first school ski trip, i still meet him now. Hes retired but we still meet up for a cup of coffee every once in awhile and its lovely that people still remember people that people still remember people that are important in their lives and they can go on to be inspired and they can go on to be inspired and go on to great things. It happened for me and it can happen to anybody out there. What a great message. David, if we can go back to you. Can message. David, if we can go back to you. Can i just message. David, if we can go back to you. Can ijust say, loving the bowtie. Lovely bow tie and waistcoat combination youve got going on. Bowtie. Lovely bow tie and waistcoat combination youve got going on. The point about all this of course is that its wonderful for people who are ina that its wonderful for people who are in a care home like yours who are in a care home like yours who are in a care home like yours who are in various difficulties to do with dementia and other things. Its such an important thing to have something, a memory, a wish, orjust something, a memory, a wish, orjust something that can make a little bit of difference to engage in a different way. Absolutely. The great thing about these wishes is that once we showed these residents and they took part, we still have the memories, we still have the pictures and somebody once told me that a picture tells a thousand words, so we just knew as a team that this would really make a huge difference to everybody in both our care homes. We knew what a difference it would make. I suppose as well, david. Nobody really asks for massive things in life either. Apart from that giant tractor. But, the simple things can make the biggest difference. Absolutely. I know there was a lovely young lady in camberley whojust wanted was a lovely young lady in camberley who just wanted a blue was a lovely young lady in camberley whojust wanted a blue rose. I know that sounds silly, but it was so meaningful to her and the team then got together, they created this beautiful glass jar with this beautiful glass jar with this beautiful blue rose, you should have seen beautiful blue rose, you should have seen her face. She was absolutely delighted, so sometimes it can be the simplest wish that actually brings the mostjoy. The simplest wish that actually brings the most joy. Youre absolutely right. Lovely to chat all of you. David,jim, absolutely right. Lovely to chat all of you. David, jim, its a delight what youve done. So thank you very much, go to see you all. Thats it from others this morning. Well be back tomorrow from six oclock. Have a lovely saturday. Goodbye. This is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world.
