From tomorrow, the astrovan astrazeneca vaccine will become more available in scotland. So far, more than 70,000 vaccinations have taken place both in wales and Northern Ireland. Good. But with fears the current wave threatens to overwhelm many hospitals, the race is on. The uk is now just many hospitals, the race is on. The uk is nowjust one of five countries in the world to record more than 80,000 coronavirus deaths. Itsjust really bad news and the thing with hospitalisations is weve seen, like, especially in london, the nhs is already overwhelmed. The people here will need hospital over the next couple of days already have covid, we know because case numbers have been going up that number will keep going up every day. Mass testing is one way to stop the virus spreading. In the coming days, or local authorities in england will be able to provide Rapid Community testing, including to people who have no symptoms, but many are critical about the accuracy of these tests, and scientific advisors argue only tougher lockdown measures will bring the more contagious variant under control once and for all. Anna collinson, bbc news. The home secretary has defended the way police have handed out fines during lockdown, 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 those who breach the rules. 0ur Political Correspondent, iain watson reports. More than 3 Million People in the uk have tested positive for covid 19 since the pandemic began. But the government is concerned with compliance of lockdown rules. Once more, we must all stay home. So expect to see more emphasis on the stay at home message in coming days. Also another line, priti patel saying Police Officers will not hesitate to act against rule breakers. She wants to see the pace much more rapid, and Police Issuing Fines for non compliance. Some forces have said that is their intention. But there wont be new powers for police, they will still be able to force entry into peoples homes to stop household mixing. After two women were fined in derbyshire, there are still concerns and confusion about what you can and cannot do. It is permissible to travel a short distance for exercise, but those distances are not defined in law. Police officers and people alike are calling for more clarity. Impeachment proceedings against donald trump will begin tomorrow. The president has been accused of encouraging his supporters to storm the Capitol Building in washington. Lets go live to our Norht America correspondent, peter bowes, in los angeles for us. This is a significant move, how likely is this attempt to impeach him again to succeed . Good morning to you. This is being described by some as a fast track impeachment, speeding up the process. I think the democrats are doing that by keeping the articles of impeachment, the charge sheet, relatively simple, insurrection, inciting the violence or uprising we saw last week against a branch of american government. That may enable them to move through the process relatively quickly. There is talk today of possibly a vote by the end of next week. And if it goes in their favour and the democrats are in the house of representatives at that point, the president would be impeached. The big question is the next stage, whether it would move to a senate trial. And the earliest day a senate trial. And the earliest day a trial could start is january 20, whichjust happens a trial could start is january 20, which just happens to be the day donald trump is due to leave the white house anyway. Constitutional scholars are wondering if it is possible to go ahead with a trial with a president having already left office. I think the second part of this, the senate stage is in some doubt but i think there is a strong likelihood of him being impeached in the house of representatives. I think what the democrats are trying to do is simply add another stain to the legacy of donald trump. Peter, thank you very much a. Peter bowes there. Thank you very much. Apple has suspended the social networking site parler from its app store after accusing it of allowing posts that incite violence. Google has already suspended the app, which is popular with supporters of donald trump, following the storming of the Capitol Building in washington last week. As we were discussing just a moment ago with peter bowes. Four people have died as spain experiences its most intense storm for 50 years. We show you the snow yesterday but there has been more widespread disruption to transport and rivers have burst their banks.

Extraordinary pictures incredible some of them delighted with the novelty of snow but clearly, when you see the levels like that, it is causing all kinds of problems for people all around the country. More on that later on. Rescuers in indonesia say they have located signals that could be from the black box recorder of a boeing 737 which disappeared shortly after taking off from jakarta on saturday. There are fears none of the 62 people on board have survived. The plane fell more than 3000 metres ina minute the plane fell more than 3000 metres in a minute before disappearing from radar screens.

Andrew harding, bbc news, johannesburg. They are amazing creatures. They should be highly valued, but they are for all the wrong reasons that. A sad story there. It is 6 15am. It is not as cold as it has been this morning, darren . When i went to bed last night there was ice on the car andi last night there was ice on the car and i woke up this morning and it had gone will stop really it brilliant. It is milder air that is coming our way. It had in really cold for a long time now, several weeks in actual fact. Cold for a long time now, several weeks in actualfact. We cold for a long time now, several weeks in actual fact. We are due for something a bit milder and thats what we are getting today and really actually throughout the week ahead stop with the milder air gets comes a lot of cloud coming in of the atlantic. Where the fog lingered, temperatures didnt get above freezing at all that if we put todays temperatures on, it is quite a few degrees higher. Milder than it has been. We still have the risk of a few icy patches first thing in eastern scotland, perhaps north east england for a few hours this morning. More dog in the south midlands. That should tend to lift as the breeze picks up. Many we may well, Northern Areas seeing rain. That will turn heavier. Temperatures around eight degrees. Four or five temperatures around eight degrees. Four orfive in the temperatures around eight degrees. Four or five in the south east of england and east anglia so an improvement on what we had yesterday. Heading overnight, the rain gets heavier and brings the threat of flooding. There are still snow showers in shetland. A bit colder here. Colder across east anglia and the south east. If you ra kes anglia and the south east. If you rakes in the cloud. Could get a degree or two below freezing but elsewhere it should be frost free with more rain coming in off the atla ntic with more rain coming in off the atlantic together with milder air to many parts of the country. The atla ntic many parts of the country. The Atlantic Winds coming in. It is the dividing line between the milder air and the colder air that we have across the north so we will find the cold air tucking in with some snow. Elsewhere, more rain more widely, heavier rain not just elsewhere, more rain more widely, heavier rain notjust part other parts of scotland but Northern Ireland pushing into parts of western england. Temperatures will be seven to nine degrees. A milder day on monday. Perhaps only briefly, mind you. The wet weather is going to get pushed southwards and then we get clear skies, perhaps Northern Ireland starting with a touch of frost on tuesday but for many parts of the country, it will be a brighter day. More in the way of sunshine with showers running down some of those north sea coasts and more cloud across Northern Ireland, perhaps a bit of rain across the south of england and wales temperatures could be into double figures but elsewhere, typically around five or six degrees. We will see more cloudy wet weather pushing eastwards on wednesday once again, lifting the temperatures after a chilly start and then it does look, the important thing to see about this to bejust, they the important thing to see about this to be just, they are the important thing to see about this to bejust, they are higher than what we have seen and because it averages even into 22 even into double figures. Now, Aleem Maqbool takes a look at the dramatic events in the us this week in storming the capitol. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol Building. Your life is going to pure hell every minute that youre here. Youll never take back our country with weakness. The 6th of january 2021. All chant usa, usa the day that shook the foundations of american democracy. Where hundreds stormed the seat of government. This nation was founded on revolutionary activity. To try to overturn an election result. Police are now finally pushing people off the ground and away from the Capitol Building. Well be back when theyre hanging them from gallows up there, how about that . But this assault didnt come out of the blue. I call on President Trump to go on National Television now and demand an end to this siege. It was by people who felt they were carrying out the wishes of the sitting us president , wishes they felt he signalled to them loud and clear. This is the story of one of the most tumultuous weeks in living memory in washington, a city that had already started to feel like one dreading the next move of a cornered donald trump. As he returned from his christmas break, it was becoming clear that any avenues he thought he had to cling to power were closing. And things got worse for the president. He was caught pressuring an official to somehow recalculate the votes in a state he lost in the november election. Republican candidates lost two senate races in georgia, so his party lost control of the senate. But wednesday, 6 january, was always going to be the day it came to a head. Madame speaker, members of congress. Congress was due to do whats normally just procedural formalise the results of the election against the futile demands of donald trump, whod stationed his forces outside. All chant fight for trump, fight for trump, fight for trump fight for trump. At the request of the president , thousands of his supporters had gathered from over the country. Well, we hope people see that things arent right with the election system the way it is today. Violence happens, like, it happens, but were not going to start it. Like, were just here defend ourselves. The spark was lit by the president himself in his midday address to the crowd, when he called the outcome of the election an egregious assault on us democracy. Were going to walk down to capitol because youll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong. It was all his supporters needed to hear. Even before his 70 minute speech finished, they started to march up to capitol hill where that session to confirm the election result was in progress. Soon what looked like the entire crowd was heading that way. There were some attacks on journalists, another consequence of the rallying cries of the president. Woo within 20 minutes of the end of his speech, donald Trump Supporters were surrounding the Capitol Building. Handfuls of officers t
