Coming up in the travel show, trekking expedition across rwanda to find gorillas in the Volcanoes National park. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The Health Secretary, matt hancock, has warned that every time people flex the lockdown rules it could be fatal and has urged everyone to follow government restrictions. But the labour leader, sir keir starmer says the current rules may not be tough enough. In the latest 24 hour period, the number of people who have tested positive for covid 19 is 5a,940 with 619,91 virus tests conducted overall in the same period. The latest number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive test is 563. The number of patients admitted to hospital in the last 2a hours stands at 4,066. This report from our Political Correspondent nick eardley contains flash photography. Central london this morning, as quiet as you will ever see it, with shops shut, pubs closed. Some parts of the country are deserted again. But there is also real concern in government that not everybody is following the new lockdown and the strict stay at home message. The government rules only are one part of this. What really matters is what every Single Person does, because that is how the virus spreads. We can all do something to help, which is to stay at home. Because every time you try to flex the rules, that could be fatal. The Health Secretary didnt rule out taking extra measures to limit mixing, because there is concern among experts about the Health Service and its ability to cope. We will go over on three. One, two, three. These images from londons University College hospital give a sense ofjust how much strain hospitals are under. Englands chief medical officer is warning that if the virus continues to grow, many hospitals will face real difficulties soon. Members of the governments virus expert group agree. It was bad in march it is much worse now. We have seen record numbers across the board, record numbers of cases and hospitalisations, record numbers of deaths. We are now in the eye of the storm, so to speak, and people need to take this very seriously. There are differences between the stay at home message now and the one from last spring. Some people can form support bubbles, and in some parts of the uk places of worship and nurseries are open. That has led to some scientists advising the government to say there is too much room for activity, but the main concern in government is that people are not being as strict with the rules now as they were last year. Labour has said the government should have acted sooner, and its leader warned further measures may be needed, possibly closing englands nurseries, for example. He had this to say on the current restrictions. They are tough and they are necessary. Enough . They may not be tough enough, but in a sense i think the most important thing is for people to get that message about stay at home, and it is up to the government to put that message out there the whole time. The Health Secretary said this morning that around 2 Million People have now had a vaccine. By autumn, he is pledging every adult in the uk will have been offered one. But for now, the message is that following the rules is more important than ever. Nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. So as weve just heard, the Health Secretary says every adult in the uk will be offered a Coronavirus Vaccine by the autumn. It comes as people over 80 in england are being contacted to get a coronavirus vaccination at new nhs centres opening up this week. Theyre in bristol, surrey, london, manchester, stevenage, birmingham, the north east and yorkshire. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes has more. This is our best hope of escaping the coronavirus pandemic mass vaccination on a scale the country has never seen before. At this centre in stevenage, local nhs staff are among the first to receive the jab. Everybodys been struggling, you never know whether youre going to work and what youre finding, so by having this, we just know that we can start to Work Together and really make a difference in terms of everyone thats out there and hopefully get out of this pandemic that were in. Im happy and excited that i got it, cos i know that ill be protecting not only myself but the people i work with. As well as the centre in stevenage, this one in manchester and five other hubs will start offering vaccinations this week. It marks a big acceleration in the vaccination programme, and its needed if the government is going to hit its mid february target of offering the jab to 15 Million People, including some of the most vulnerable and health and care workers. In scotland, the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine will be more widely available through 1,000 gp practices and centres. Wales and Northern Ireland have each administered more than 70,000 vaccines. Long term ambitions go further an announcement this morning that all over 18s could receive the jab by autumn. But that seems a long way away while a combination of soaring hospital admissions and staff sickness is creating a crisis that is entering uncharted territory. We are seeing hospitals having to divert patients because theyre too full, and thats having a knock on effect on other hospitals, who then also become too full, and were concerned that this will be a situation that could spread to other parts of the country. So the situation is quite desperate. In a bid to break the transmission chain of the virus, this week will also see the start in england of regular rapid lateral flow testing for people who cant work from home. The tests can be turned around in 30 minutes and aim to catch those people not displaying any symptoms. But thats unlikely to ease the pressures the Health Service faces right now and over the weeks to come. Dominic hughes, bbc news. The home secretary has defended the way police have been handing out fines for people whove allegedly breached the rules, saying there is a need for strong enforcement. Priti patel said the number of cases and deaths recorded last week means that officers are right to stop giving repeated warnings to repeat offenders. The online supermarket, 0cado, has warned there could be shortages of some products over the next few weeks because of staff problems in its supply chain. 0cado says the number of workers off sick or self isolating because of covid means that some Food Producers are reducing the number of products they offer. The online retailer warned that supply chain issues could lead to a higher number of substitutions as well as missing items on customer orders.

Shoppers in Northern Ireland have been facing bare shelves at some supermarkets since the ist of january, following the uks trade separation from the eu after brexit. The new arrangements now mean its become more complicated for businesses to ship food over the irish sea from britain, and some lorry loads have faced delays. The government says traders and hauliers need to make sure they are complying with the new border rules. Heres our ireland correspondent, emma va rdy. January may be the time some of us want to consume a little less, but shoppers in Northern Ireland have found the shelves noticeably bare. I was in tesco, and there was lots of empty shelves today. It was mostly the frozen food as well. I was looking for, like, fish and stuff, and i was wondering why there was no food. There was very little vegetables in that store, and the pure orange juice is completely wiped out. Sainsburys, tescos and asda have all said some products have faced hold ups or are in limited supply due to the new post brexit rules. M s, meanwhile, has taken precautionary measures, after seeing competitors lorries delayed at ports. Marks spencers has temporarily withdrawn more than 300 from sale in Northern Ireland thats about 5 of what youd normally see in its stores while it gets to grips with the new paperwork. It includes more specialist items like sushi and some cheeses. Since ist january, food crossing from britain to Northern Ireland has needed new paperwork and checks, because Northern Ireland has remained within the eu Single Market while the rest of the uk has left. It means that an entire lorry load could be held up at ports like belfast, even if only one item on board doesnt have the correct Customs Declarations filled out. Ive got a lot of examples this week where even some of the big supermarkets havent been prepared for the additional paperwork, but thats only part of the issue. In addition to that, a lot of companies are aware of the additional requirements and have made a business decision to cease supply to Northern Ireland in the short term until all the teething issues are sorted out. Supermarkets say they will get the full range of products back up for sale as they adapt to the new arrangements, but because of some stockpiling over christmas, freight will only begin to return to normal volumes next week. And the government is warning the most difficult period is yet to come. Were working with supermarkets in order to ensure that Northern Ireland consumers can have an uninterrupted supply of the products that theyre used to enjoying. We said that there would be some initial disruption, were ironing it out, but the situation will get worse before it gets better. Agreeing the special arrangements for Northern Ireland was always one of the most contentious parts of the brexit process, and for now, at least, the reality of introducing a new trade border within the uk is becoming plain to see. Emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. Four boats carrying 57 migrants were brought to dover today. The home office says the french authorities stopped another four boats with 38 people on board from reaching uk waters. More migrants have reached the uk already this month than in the whole of january 2020. The minister for immigration says legal changes will be made to enable asylum cases to be treated as inadmissible if claimants have travelled through a safe country. A 28 year old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after two men died at a property in east london. Police were called to an address in ilford, to reports of a disturbance. Two men were found seriously injured inside the property, and both died at the scene. Our correspondent lisa hampele sent this update from the scene. The house here has been cordoned off, as you can see, and forensic teams have been here since early this morning. It was at about 4 30am this morning that police and paramedics were called. They were called because of a disturbance and when they got here they found two men had been seriously injured and they died here at the scene. We were told that police and paramedics tried to do all they could, but the men were pronounced dead here. They also arrested a 28 year old woman. She had been injured and she was tasered as she was being arrested and she is now being treated in hospital. Now, i have spoken to neighbours here and one of them in particular told me that he heard screaming just before the police and the ambulance crew arrived. He said that he heard her saying, help me, help me. A woman in the house, coming in and out of the house was screaming, help me. Lisa hampele reporting. Officials in indonesia say theyve located the black box flight recorders from the boeing 737 airliner that crashed yesterday. 62 passengers and crew were on board the jet, which disappeared from radar screens over the sea, four minutes after taking off from the capital, jakarta. 0ur South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head reports. Better weather allowed a small flotilla of ships to make progress in the search for flight sji82 in the sea north of the capital, jakarta. The boeing 737 crashed just four minutes into its journey. The location was quickly identified, allowing teams of divers to locate wreckage on the sea floor and, they believe, signals from the flight recorders. Translation there are two signals coming from the black boxes. These can be continuously monitored so we can mark their coordinates. Hopefully we can retrieve them soon and identify the cause of the crash. Throughout the day, they brought back debris clearly identifiable as from the missing plane, confirming that something catastrophic happened to it in the last minute of flight before it plunged into the sea. In this wreckage there were personal items belonging to the passengers, and the Authorities Say theyve recovered some human remains as well. Relatives have been coming in to give dna samples in the hope that some of those remains can be identified. Friends and neighbours visited the home of the planes captain afwan, to offer their condolences. Both pilots were experienced flyers. Captain afwan spent many years with the Indonesian Air force. He was a good man, says his nephew, ferza mahardika. He often gave us advice and was a prominent figure in the neighbourhood, well known for his kindness. The pilots gave no distress calls, leaving no clue as to what went wrong. The continued recovery of wreckage will hopefully provide some answers and shed light on whether the safety flaws which have long dogged indonesias Aviation Industry were a factor here too.
