Uk sources have suggested the eu has hardened its proposals on the common rules, which both sides would agree to put in place, in particular how to enforce them.

Borisjohnson said he was deeply saddened by the news. Andy moore reports. Wessex water called the explosion absolutely tragic, and its thoughts were with the families, friends and colleagues of those involved. Three of its staff and a contractor were working close to the silo when it exploded yesterday morning. It contained sludge, which is treated before being used as a fertilizer. We heard this almighty bang and everybody sort of came running from everywhere, saying, what was that . Everybody thought, was that an earthquake . The whole warehouse was shaking. And we literally stood there in shock because we thought everything was going to fall in. People started coming out of the warehouses over there. Started coming out, saying, look over there. So we looked out the windows and all we seen was people running. The Emergency Services were quickly on the scene. They later confirmed four fatalities, while a fifth person was taken to hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life threatening. The police said they wouldnt be speculating on the cause of the explosion. Together with the health and safety executive, they have already started an investigation to find out what went wrong. Andy moore, bbc news. Our reporterjohn maguire is at the scene for us this morning. Journalists are being kept at some distance from the site. Tell us more about the investigation. Really i suppose thoughts this morning split into two, very much thoughts with everybody involved, whether it be civic leaders, the water company, are with the family of the four people who died here yesterday. In terms of the investigation, police and health and safety executive will ta ke and health and safety executive will take the lead. It happened just after 11 yesterday morning. Behind mea after 11 yesterday morning. Behind me a police car is in position guarding the entrance to the site. Where the red lights are on top, from one of the power generators, and the other light show you exactly where the silo tank was. What we can see from the pictures is the top had been torn off, such was the force of the explosion. Where we are, west of the explosion. Where we are, west of the city of bristol, on the banks of the city of bristol, on the banks of the river severn estuary, we are surrounded by warehouses and businesses, it is an industrial location. A lot of people working here heard the explosion and many said they did not first know what it was, whether it was an earthquake, a large explosion. It shook some of the buildings and was heard up to a mile away. Very early days in the investigation and it will be up to the health and safety executive to learn any lessons from here, to try to make sure what happened yesterday never happens again. The top Infectious Disease expert in america has apologised for suggesting that britains medical regulator had cut corners in giving approval to the Coronavirus Vaccine. Dr Anthony Fauci said the decision on the Pfizer Biontech jab had been rushed. Later, in an interview with the bbc, he said his comments had been misunderstood. Our process is one that takes more time than was taken with the uk. And thatjust is the reality. I did not mean to apply any sloppiness, even though it came out that way. So, if it did, ijust want to set the record straight. I have a great deal of confidence in what the uk does, both scientifically and from a regulatory standpoint. Ifi if i somehow came across differently, i apologise for that. From this evening, pubs, bars and restaurants in wales will have to shut by six oclock and wont be allowed to sell alcohol. New restrictions are being imposed in response to a rise in coronavirus cases over the past month. Tomos morgan reports. After just four weeks of pouring a pint again since the lockdown in wales, the taps will have to be closed again. As from this evening, restaurants and bars across wales will have to close at 6pm and alcohol wont be allowed to be sold in any venue for at least another three weeks. The decision by the welsh Labour Government has sparked a furious response by those in the industry, such as the boss of waless biggest brewery, brains, which has decided to close more than 100 of its pubs. A big Company Grant has been proposed, it will cover about one day of operating costs. So, of course we are grateful for it, but it does not make enough of a difference. We are going to have to close all of our managed pubs from friday, at six oclock, because we will lose less money being closed than by being open. This is terrible news for our employees, terrible news for our customers and we are really fearful that we wont be open again before christmas. Although it will still be sold in shops, the impact of restricting the sale of alcohol and hospitality has a considerable effect on the supply chain. Im not really factoring hospitality in too much for next year. In terms of our plan, we planned everything and the worst case scenario, it wont be there. So we are hoping for the best, we are hoping we can survive in terms of e commerce and retail and so on, but i am so worried about the industry as a whole and what its going to look like, and i think were going to lose so many amazing pubs in wales. And hospitality isnt the only sector being restricted from tonight. Soft play centres, bingo halls and cinemas will also have to close. There will also be a ban on nonessential travel in and out of wales to the highest covid areas in other areas of britain, such as tier three in england, the highest tiers in scotland, and the whole of Northern Ireland. The Welsh Government say evidence is there to support these new measures being put into force. And with christmas being eased across the uk over the festive period, it has been done, they say, to limit the number of potential deaths from the spread of the virus as the cases continue to rise here. Tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. Warner brothers studio has angered us cinemas with its decision to make all 2021 releases available to stream online, as soon as they hit the big screen.

The Prime Minister is calling on other World Leaders to follow britains example and set their own ambitious targets for cutting Carbon Emissions, ahead of a virtual Climate Summit next week.

Labour has said theres a yawning gap between the governments aspirations and its policies to deliver them. The bank of england is being urged to investigate the whereabouts of around £50 billion of banknotes that are unaccounted for. Mps on the Public Accounts Committee say not knowing where the cash is raises concerns about whether it may be being used for illegal purposes. 0ur economics correspondent andy verity explains. In spite of talk of moves to a cashless society, demand for cash in the Old Fashioned form of banknotes keeps increasing. Between a fifth and a quarter of all notes are used or held to be spent in cash transactions. The rest, about £50 billion, could be hoarded as unreported savings, held overseas, or used in the black market economy. But the bank of england doesnt know where it is kept, who by or what for and, according to the Public Accounts Committee of mps, doesnt seem very curious. The bank of england needs to be sharing information about where that 50 billion might have gone. They wont have all the answers, we are really clear about that, but we are really clear that they need to be sending that information to the relevant agencies. Its a bit of a patchwork quilt, patching together big issues around organised crime. Clearly, the bank of england has a role to play in that. The committee is also warning that regulators and the government are not doing enough to ensure people who do need access to cash to spend locally can withdraw it free of charge, especially in rural areas, with the number of cash machines dropping by 12 and many converting to paid for use. The bank of england disputed that the banknotes were missing, saying members of the public didnt have to explain to the bank why they wish to hold banknotes. Andy verity, bbc news.

This is the recent radar and you can see where most of the snow has fallen. There is no in the snow has fallen. There is no in the showers in parts of wales and South West England, into the hills mainly, but also in this zone of heavy mostly rain in Eastern England there is sleet and snow in this, creating some difficult travel conditions this morning. Lets look at what we expect from this. In scotland, where there is the greatest chance of encountering travel disruption today from initially snow and icy conditions. A lot of this will turn to rain away from the hills but heavy rain could bring further disruption and potential flooding in eastern scotla nd potential flooding in eastern scotland in the afternoon. Northern ireland, mainly dry, and icy start. Mostly rain. In england and wales, dry, although showers in wales and South West England, but the eastern side of england is very wet. And notice how that pivots across Northern England, into the midlands, north wales. Some sleet and snow in the highest ground out of that. In the highest ground out of that. In the south, a bit of sunshine. But it is also very windy at times today, particularly in northern and western scotla nd particularly in northern and western scotland into Northern Ireland.

I thought i would move from fashion and keep the food theme going because there is a new trend of cooking omelette. If anybody knows how to do that, it is you. First i thought i would remind viewers of your culinary expertise. This was part of the children in need challenge to cook as many omelettes as you could in 58 seconds. What is your technique . What were you thinking when you created . Most people do not have to cook their omelette on a tiny stove and they are not bothered by a bear hanging around in the background, two things that are distracting. Can we talk about your stirring technique. You had a wooden spoon and you decided to stir, is that how you make an omelette . It was done in a hurry and under the pressure, cameras on me, as well. You are not used to cameras . Tell us about the new thing . Iam asking tell us about the new thing . I am asking should you stare when you make an omelette. Sometimes i do, sometimes i dont. Eggs, there is a trend on social media for the tornado omelette and i think you had something when you did that challenge. A tornado omelette is made with chopsticks and there has been a craze that began in the usa and it spread to the uk. Created by using chopsticks. You twirl whisked eggs in a hot pan and as it cooks, the omelette spirals into the form of a tornado or a flower. It is pa rt form of a tornado or a flower. It is part of the korean traditional dish where it is surrounded by rice. But videos were posted on social media. If you want to know, i think this is in the Daily Telegraph. Egg sales have gone up by more than one fifth ina year. With people cooking at home. In defence of my technique in the clip, the other thing i remember now was such was the cooking utensils i had at the time, as soon as i put the eggsin at the time, as soon as i put the eggs in the saucepan they were burning. The reason i moved them around was to stop the whole thing burning as it fell into the saucepan. You say that, if it was that hot, why were the eggs not cooked .
