Players as a show of support against racism. It follows booing from a section of supporters is there any zoom at the inn . How School Nativities are going online this year. Good morning. It is a foggy start once again in parts of south Eastern England in particular. That will be slow to live it. Some wont lift at all. For the brighter skies but some rain and stronger winds in the north. Its all going on. Detailed in ten minutes. Good morning. Its tuesday, the 8th of december. Our top story. Its day one of the vaccine rollout or v day as the uk begins the process of immunising people against coronavirus. The first batch of an initial 800,000 doses have been delivered to hospitals across the country. The Prime Minister has called it a huge step forward in the fight against the disease. Heres our health reporterjim reed. Its the moment these nhs workers have been waiting for since the start of the pandemic. Weve got everything we need now. The first Mass Vaccination Programme for covid 19 starts this morning across the uk. We knew that it was coming, but we didnt quite know when it was coming. And i think that the most challenging bit for us has been making sure that we are prepared. Its all been done really quickly, but we will be ready. And this is such an important thing for the nhs and for the population as a whole. Relax your arm. Im going to roll your sleeve right up. Here at the Royal Free Hospital in london staff are going through final training ahead of a nationwide roll out of the vaccine. First in line will be those over 80 who already have a hospital appointment, along with some care home workers. Two doses will be needed 21 days apart. It will take some weeks and months as vaccine supply becomes available for gps and hospitals and pharmacists to reach all of the most vulnerable. So in the meantime, weve got to continue to take care. And we think theres every prospect that by next spring, the high risk vulnerable groups identified by the medical experts will all have been vaccinated. To start with, the vaccine will be given mainly in hospitals. Soon though, gps and pharmacists should start to get the jab, and teams will be sent out to care homes. But doctors have warned that reaching everyone who needs it will take months, not weeks. We might be taking the first step out of the crisis, but there is some way to go until life can return to normal. Jim reed, bbc news. 0ur health correspondent, catherine burns, is in coventry, at one of the 50 hospitals in england administering the vaccine. Catherine, this is just the start of a huge operation, isnt it . Morning. Yeah, this is the beginning of the end. The government is calling it v day. The biggest vaccine roll out in our history. Here in coventry this is one of 70 hospitals across the uk that will start injecting the first patients today. We have ordered about a0 million doses of this. We dont have that yet. Right now were looking at about that will go up or to a million before christmas. Not everybody who needs one will get an injection. They will start in the hospitals with patients already in hospitals with patients already in hospital about to go home, or people coming infora hospital about to go home, or people coming in for a test. They will also invite some care home staff in and maybe some other vulnerable over 805. If there is any left over at the end of each day they will give tho5e the end of each day they will give those to the most vulnerable front line staff, the ones at most ri5k those to the most vulnerable front line staff, the ones at most risk of getting sick if they got this. So the people who are having it today have to come back in about 21 days for a second booster jab. Have to come back in about 21 days for a second boosterjab. That will ta ke for a second boosterjab. That will take them to the 29th of january. A week after that as well the full immunity kicks in. I5 week after that as well the full immunity kicks in. Is when the full immunity kicks in. People are being warned, tho5e full immunity kicks in. People are being warned, those people who are vulnerable, they will be told and notified and just be ready when they get it. In the meantime, even though this is such a massive, momentous day, we still have to carry on with 5ocial di5tancing, with the restrictions, until we get enough people vaccinated. But its a great day. Thank you. We will be following p iog re55 day. Thank you. We will be following progress of the vaccine roll out throughout the programme. Well be speaking to the Health Secretary, matt hancock, at half past seven. Talks to find a uk eu trade agreement from the start of next year are stuck in stalemate. Boris johnson will travel to brussels this week in a bid to salvage a post brexit deal, but neither side i5 expressing any optimism about breaking the deadlock. 0ur Political Correspondent Jessica Parker reports. They spoke again and again, couldnt break the deadlock, bori5johnson and the european commi55ion president , ursula von der leyen, so something different. Soon, the Prime Minister will travel to brussels in the coming days for a face to face meeting. Last year, the Prime Minister said that to leave with no deal would be a failure of 5tatecraft. So this government must take responsibility for their failure if we are to leave without a deal. And, mr speaker, we will hold the government to account whatever they bring back, deal or no deal. Reporter have you make progress . Already in brussels, the negotiating teams who foundereed on what are now some familiar differences fisheries, competition rules and how a trade deal would be enforced. Were still working very hard. The idea of compromise is discussed a lot. Workable 5olution5, it 5eems, harder to come by. Its not really about state aid, which is much lower here than in europe, or following eu 5ocial and environmental standards. Again, our domestic 5tandards are way, way higher than what are required a5 a minimum by the eu. I think its more this reluctance completely to let go. They still want to have some over5ight, 5ome suzerainty. Last night, a senior uk government source said that while the process wasnt clo5ed, things were looking very tricky, and that there was every chance an agreement would not be reached. No one has yet walked away, but nor have they found a way through. Jessica parker, bbc news. German pro5ecutor5 have in5isted they are building a compelling case against the man they 5u5pect of murdering madeleine mccann, who di5appeared during a family holiday to portugal in 2007. The convicted child sex offender, chri5tian b, was identified a5 a suspect six months ago, but he has not yet been charged. 0ur berlin correspondent jenny hill has more. Its six months since german detectives made a dramatic revelation. Madeleine mccann, they believe, was kidnapped and killed by a convicted german paedophile. After this tv appeal, they received hundreds of tip offs about christian b, who is in a germanjailfor drug smuggling and the rape of a tourist in the algarve. But they still dont have enough to charge him. Even so, this prosecuter told us, they are sure theyve got their man. Translation if you knew the evidence we have, you would come to the same conclusion as i do but i cant give you details because we dont want the accused to know what we have on him. These are technical considerations. The six month investigation has yielded new evidence of other alleged crime5. Chri5tian b lived here in portugal on and off for years. Prosecutors now believe he committed at least three other sex crimes here, two of them against children. He may be charged early next year, but progress in Madeleine Mccanns case basis level. Translation i cant promise, i cant guarantee that we have enough to bring a charge but im very confident because what we have so far doesnt allow any other conclusion at all. There have been so many false leads, so many empty hopes, and still the family waits to find out what happened to their little girl. Jenny hill, bbc news. The first englishman to climb everest has died at the age of 79. Doug scott was in a team of british climber5 which tackled the south west face of everest in 1975, regarded as one of mountaineerings most difficult challenges. He founded a charity to help people in the himalayas and raised thousands of pounds during the lockdown by climbing up and down his stairs at home. Lets return to those po5t brexit trade talks, which are currently in the of stalemate. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake is in brussels. Good morning. Give us an idea if you can of the sort of mood among eu leaders, and will it be changed by a potential visit from bori5 leaders, and will it be changed by a potential visit from Boris Johnson . Good morning. I have been trying to gauge that and work out what people are thinking. I think there is a range of emotions. There is a bit of relief because it feels like they have been going around in circles. Both sides agreed that in the last a8 hour5, despite talk of intensifying the negotiations, they havent made progress at all. The idea that bori5 havent made progress at all. The idea that Boris Johnson havent made progress at all. The idea that bori5johnson i5 havent made progress at all. The idea that bori5johnson is coming here. He is going to discuss and present what can be done, to have a face to face meeting with the European Commission president. They welcome that. But someone was saying to me, what is this all about . Is it for the newspapers at home, for the television bulletins . Is it all about Boris Johnson coming television bulletins . Is it all about bori5johnson coming here . And deciding that the eu are completely inflexible. 0r deciding that the eu are completely inflexible. Or is it that Boris Johnson can come here and say, i can cling to this victory that nobody else has been able to do . Boris johnsons team would say, he will look at the facts. If the eu have been completely unreasonable he wont take a bad deal. In terms of what is happening today, the actual negotiations, the sense i am getting is that they will be stopping. They wont be stuff line by line, talking about a fish or how different goods can move between the two sides. They will be doing a sort of stock take. They will be getting a document together so these leaders can look at whats at play, whats at stake and then make a decision on whether and then make a decision on whether a deal can be done. And in terms of the timing, its my understanding that Boris Johnson the timing, its my understanding that bori5johnson will probably be coming on wednesday or friday. There isa coming on wednesday or friday. There is a meeting of european leaders on thursday and friday morning. We are told Boris Johnson thursday and friday morning. We are told bori5johnson doesnt thursday and friday morning. We are told Boris Johnson doesnt want to gate crash that. So the schedule is tbc. Possibly wednesday. Thank you very much. What do you think was the most Popular Series streamed on the bbc iplayer this year . Football focus . bbc breakfast . it was, in fact, football focus . bbc breakfast . it was, infact, normal football focus . bbc breakfast . it was, in fact, normal people. That was, in fact, normal people. That was my next guest.

That makes it more popular than killing eve, masterchef and the split. And football focus i wonder where football focus is in the league . Right up there. Mid table. Normal people was massive. Ill tell you what else has been huge this week. The Rugby League Legend Kevin Sinfield is having a well earned but very short lie in this morning, after running seven marathons in seven days. An amazing achievement. He took on the challenge to support his old friend and former leeds rhinos team mate rob burrow, who has Motor Neurone Disease, and to raise money to help find a cure. This is him finishing yesterday, the seventh marathon of seven days. There is a massive crowd to greet him. He pushes them out of the way. Do you know why . Because he was doing it on his watch. He was monitoring it on his what have you hadnt quite finished. He is a perfectionist. Kev was aiming to raise £77,000, but he did rather better than that. Lets have a look at the total amount raised so far. 0h oh its gone up again. £1. 7 million and going up all the time. And the reason kev wont be having a long lie in today, is that hes coming in for a chat on the sofa at half past eight. We will target everything up, give him the total and speak to some friends as well. Just to congratulate him on being a really nice bloke really. Yeah, and being great at running long distances. I think its also one of those where he wont tell you, as one of those where he wont tell you , as we one of those where he wont tell you, as we said yesterday, but his bodyis you, as we said yesterday, but his body is in bits. Its broken. All the great marathon runners out there will tell you how hard it is to run one. To run seven in seven days is causing some issues. I will predict he will say he is completely fine. No pain at all. I texted him last night and asked him if he was all right. I said, night and asked him if he was all right. Isaid, ill do night and asked him if he was all right. I said, ill do another one tomorrow if you need me to. You dont need to now the weather with carol. You have been checking the weather for a cavern. Good morning. He has been amazing. What an achievement. The weather today, it is a foggy start once again across part of the south and east. It is dense fog as well. It should lift more readily today than it did yesterday, because there would be more of a breeze. There will be a couple of areas where it does stake. Temperatures below freezing in parts of the south. Some of this will be freezing fog. The area is likely to have the fog, anywhere from dorset through the midlands, part of the south east, east anglia and lincolnshire. West of that there are clear skies what we have also got some showers across wales and rain in parts of Northern England, Northern Ireland and scotland. These black circles indicate the strength of the wind. So quite gusty winds, particularly across the north and the west. Parts of western and southern scotland in the next few hours will see the heaviest rain. Through the course of the day we can see exactly what is happening. Slowly we should see the fog lived. Some of it will only lift into low cloud. They will be some brightness in other southern areas and again, our rain started to think that little bit further south. Temperatures today, if you are stuck under the fog, it will feel cold, but not quite as cold as we push further west. Sal and dan. Thank you, carol. Further west. Saland dan. Thank you, carol. Look forward to seeing you and a half an hour. After you. Thanks. Lets take a look at some of todays front pages. Our fightback starts today is the headline in the daily mirror, along with a photo collage illustrating britains battle against covid 19. The Daily Telegraph is one of the papers to lead on brexit, reporting speculation from eu sources that the pms visit to brussels may secure a trade deal, but that it could also be intended purely to show that he tried everything he could to get a deal even if he expects to come home empty handed. The times has a photo of dr hari shukla and his wife. Hell be one of the first people to receive a covid 19 vaccination today. Hes told the paper, im delighted to be doing my bit. And the Yorkshire Evening post has a picture of marathon hero kev sinfield and his team mate rob burrow back in their playing days for leeds rhinos. The headline reads, a true friend. Have you got some inside pages . Since we finished on leeds rhinos there, if you are one of those people. I know some fans have been going back to various venues over the course of the week. Have a look at this. Its an experiment which is going on in amsterdam in the netherlands. This is the amsterdam arena where theyre trying to discover, by the use of these clever little machines, how long droplets can survive suspended in the air. Its been tested by researchers here. To see if aerosols are pumping out. It shows how long particles linger. The hope is this research could speed up the return of spectators. So, carry on. Have you seen spectators. So, carry on. Have you seen pictures of these things all over the place . Yes. What is going on . Its very strange. There are various theories. These popped up on the isle of wight recently. A bizarre monolith. Ten foot mirrored monument prior buried in the sand similarto monument prior buried in the sand similar to monolith two seen in utah and romania. Also two other places in the united states, one in california, one in pittsburgh. There isa california, one in pittsburgh. There is a suggestion this is some kind of art project perhaps. There is also quite a serious suggestion that this one on the isle of wight is not linked to the other ones. Someone had a little bit of a dig around it yesterday and discovered that they had borrowed underneath it and there was basically wooden mirror is underneath it. It is still there though. Very quickly, £150 million lottery win. Francis and Patrick Connolly, remember them . That was last january. They have given half a way. Wow. They have given loads to charity, some to family members. They have set up a charitable foundation, tried to generate jobs. Good on them. Well done. That a lovely story. Its easy to think about what he would do with money, but im sure many people think about giving it away. Francis and patrick connko giving it away. Francis and Patrick Connolly have given away over 60 million quid. Wow. My goodness. Thats a lot of money. Guess what . Another day, another brexit delay. Both sides are sounding extremely pessimistic about the chances of coming to an agreement on the uks relati
