there are areas in the midlands, the east and west midlands, where infection rates are much lower and have been coming out in higher tiers than they we nt coming out in higher tiers than they went in. there will be criticism of what is happening. andy street, the mayor of the west midlands, said he is disappointed so many areas are coming out in tier 3. he says he understands why and people need to observe the rules to make sure infection rates come down, but he will be asking for more support particularly for the hospitality industry because restaurants will not be able to open. west bromwich albion who playjust a short distance from here won't be able to have any fans in even though the restrictions were lifted because in tier3 restrictions were lifted because in tier 3 nobody will be allowed in the ground. thank you. our health editor hugh pym is here. what do we know about how these decisions were reached? what is the criteria? as we have been hearing, there is undoubtedly dissatisfaction in some areas about why they are tier 3 and not tier 2. the government line is they have a ve

our midlands correspondent phil mackie has more details. i was at a briefing with some of the senior medical officers there just over two weeks ago, and they were warning then that the number of admissions they were getting from coronavirus patients was rising so quickly that they feared that they might have to cancel elective operations. they said at the time that they had effectively 30 itu beds set aside for covid patients. everything else they needed for emergency operations, cancer patients and things like that, if it went above 30, they would have to cancel the elective operations. today, they have 36 covid patients on itu in the qe, so this is inevitable, i'm afraid. it means that people who have been waiting for a knee surgery, you know, hip surgery, that kind of thing, it is going to be postponed. it may already have been postponed from earlier on in the year, but that is because the number of patients they are getting in the hospital at the moment is just increasing all the time. they have 389 patients across the four hospitals in

the skies clear for a time across wales and the midlands with temperatures dropping away here. further showers for scotland and northern ireland, still with some fairly strong winds and certainly feeling cold given the strength of those winds overnight as well. on into sunday, a day of sunshine and showers again for scotland and northern ireland. much brighter weather for northern england, wales, the midlands and east anglia with some sunshine and that sunny weather should arrive across the far south of england probably later in the day. temperatures dropping, highs of seven to 10 celsius on sunday. the cooler air doesn't last too long because on monday, the next area of low pressure moves in, warm front pushes across the uk, winds turn to a south—westerly direction and that said on monday morning, we start off on a cold note, probably some patches of frost around, as that milder air works in, we see some low cloud, hill fog patches across wales and the pennines with some damp weather here. more general rain for scotland and northern ireland. turning milder in the south—wes

i suspect it will stay pretty murky across the midlands and eastern wales for most of the day, butjust like today there will be some areas where the cloud breaks up to reveal some sunshine, the breeze picking up in western scotland to give the threat of a little light rain to end the day. there will be rather more than light rain though as we head into monday, these weather systems pushing in and bringing outbreaks of rain in from the north—west, the rain pushing southward through the day. skies clear in scotland again, some sunshine moving in here later on, and it will start to feel a little colder for a time, temperatures dropping somewhat. look at the weather picture beyond and into the middle part of the week. got another cold front that is going to be edging its way southwards as we get towards the middle part of the week and really quite chilly air will be following that in, so quite an unsettled spell of weather midweek with the temperatures really dropping away — from wednesday onwards it will feel really quite cold. that is your weather. this is bbc news. the headlines at

it will very gradually move eastwards, bringing rain into parts of the midlands and central and southern england before long. a few showers for northern ireland and scotland, otherwise with clear spells, cold, one or two areas with a touch of frost. our weather front continues to push eastwards but it gets stretched out between these two areas of low pressure, one in scandinavia and one to spain and portugal. the front will weaken very quickly as it slowly edges eastwards through wednesday, the rain becoming increasingly light and patchy at the dribbles its way across the midlands into east anglia and southeast england. no great rainfall amounts for these areas. the mild airjust hanging on across the east. 1a, maybe 15 degrees celsius in the very warmest spots but for the north and west, it is much colder. temperatures down into single figures. following that, wednesday night, we will see patches of frost developing and maybe a few areas of fog to start the day on thursday. thursday looks like being a pretty decent day. it will be cooler than it has been of late, but most areas will be d

and by the end of the night, it'll be lying across northern ireland, wales, the midlands and into the south east. here, it will be milder because of the rain. fairly chilly in the north for a while, but those temperatures will start to rise as we move into sunday morning. that band of rain moves northwards across the country on sunday, and this next one will arrive later on sunday into monday. so, it'll be much a cloudier day across the country. that band of rain across central and northern areas will push into scotland, turning lighter and patch year. behind it, we could start to see some sunshine developing across northern ireland, wales and the south west. but here, it will be breezier, and in fact further north the winds will be a little stronger than they have been of late. the milder air reaching as far north as northern ireland, so northern ireland up to northern england, southwards 1a—16 degrees, 10—11 degrees across scotland. but the mild air reaches scotland as we move into monday. we'll see more weather fronts pushing into mainly southern and western areas to bring outb

, and notany large swathes of the north and midlands, and not any extra support is converted before in terms of financial support, so the levels are going up, it is getting more strict in terms of freedom and whether it is business as and all the other elements of hospitality so without any elements of hospitality so without a ny extra elements of hospitality so without any extra levels of support, this is very worrying. andy burnham is quoted as saying that there was a big stand—off with the government and getting the appropriate support depending on your point of view, saying it is wrong but it is struck by —— it has struck me about liverpool because liverpool are in tier 2, not tier 3 and don‘t get me wrong, that is pretty strict and quite tight, however they have dropped a—level andy maia saying this is a cautious welcome because he says they followed the rules, had lots of testing and he thinks that might be partly the reason why it‘s only gone into that here. that leaves me quite nicely onto the daily telegraph because it has an image of then and now, and we will focu

very few places in the whole of the west and east midlands are in tier 2. worcestershire is one of them, but certainly not in tier 1, and i think they will be this strong argument from some of the mps that represent some of those areas with very low infection rates where there aren‘t very many hospitalisations, that they are quite cut off from other places as well, that would definitely press the government to hopefully relax the rules and let them into tier1 before christmas. thank you very much, phil. martin hill is the leader of lincolnshire council and also the chairman of east midlands councils. he is also chair of the lincolnshire councils engagement board. lincolnshire has been put into tier 3. thank you forjoining us. lincolnshire, very big county, very rural and parts. can you understand the rationale for your being in tier 3?i the rationale for your being in tier 3? i can't understand the rationale for the whole of the big rural area being put in the same tier. it is true to say parts of lincoln should you have high rates, but other parts of lin

we supported 19 places in the east midlands. there's absolutely no reason why a minister should disadvantage their constituency. anyone who travels to work by train will know that once—crowded commuter services now carry a fraction of their pre—pandemic passengers. the commons transport committee questioned railway operators about how the industry would have to change to lure its customers back. we were down to as low as 5% of passenger numbers in the very early part of the pandemic. and typically, across the industry, we're around 28%—30% during the current english lockdown. so, of course, we've adjusted services from a point of view of demand allowing for social distancing, i should say. i think we need to stop thinking about commuting in the way that we used to as some sort of torturous experience, but maybe think about it as travelling to collaborate. and actually that'll happen fewer days of the week, but it'll happen at perhaps different times. so, i think that presents a really big opportunity to flatten the peak, t

and that rain keeps on falling through parts of northern england, wales and the midlands as we go through sunday night and into monday, also pushing into parts of south—west england as well, slowly starting to ease. and we start the new week very mild indeed — overnight temperatures not that much different from what we will see in the daytime. so this is where we are on monday. that frontal system starting to pull away but still showers or longer spells of rain pushing in from the west and still another windy day, so it's quite a messy picture to start the new week. if you like the weekend weather, it'sjust lingering into the new week. some places may manage to stay dry but those showers never too far away. and temperatures again in a range from 10 to 17 celsius, so we are still fairly mild, but not for much longer. the winds definitely are still a feature, still quite gusty but gradually easing down, and that process will continue as we go through tuesday and into wednesday because, finally, we start to see an area of high pressure starting to build across the atlantic and heading ou

it will very gradually move eastwards, bringing rain into parts of the midlands and central and southern england before long. a few showers for northern ireland and scotland, otherwise with clear spells, cold, might see 1—2 areas with a touch of frost. our weather front continues to push eastwards, but it gets stretched out between these two areas of low pressure — one in scandinavia and one in spain and portugal. so the front will weaken very quickly as it slowly edges its way eastwards through wednesday, the rain becoming increasingly light and patchy as it dribbles its way across the midlands into east anglia and southeast england. there's no great rainfall amounts for these areas. the mild airjust hanging on across the east. 14—15 celsius in the very warmest spots but further north and west, it's much colder. temperatures down into single figures. following that, wednesday night, we will see patches of frost developing and maybe a few areas of fog to start the day on thursday. thursday looks like being a pretty decent day. yes, it will be cooler than it has been of late, but mo

many cities across northern england and the midlands — including manchester, hull, newcastle and birmingham — as well as kent and bristol — will fall into tier 3 — that's the toughest category. most of the rest of england will be in tier 2 — that includes london, the south east and south west. only the isle of wight, cornwall and the isles of scilly will be in tier1— with the least restrictions. that's fewer than a million people. the rules for what's allowed in each tier have changed — we'll bring you the detail in a moment. as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports, the prime minister is warning that if we ease off now england risks being back in a national lockdown again in the new year. december will be month four for people in west bromwich, hunkered down, banned from seeing friends and family they don't live with, apart from work or school. covid cases are still high and the market's quieting down. sarah is worried about hanging on. i'm struggling to find the money to pay for my pitch. tier 3 isn't going to work for us. we need to drop right back down. michail lost

to the midlands towards a singly in the southeast, you start with to the midlands towards east anglia in the southeast, you start with sunshine plenty of clattering, rain, drizzle, coming and going through the day, the odd heavy burst of rain, holding on the mild air here but much colder for the northwards and westwards, temperatures back into single figures. with clear skies that take us to wednesday night and that there is a way come get ready for the return of some widespread overnight frost and also some patchy fog. hello this is bbc news. the headlines. a christmas like no other. uk wide rules on festive bubbles — up to three households will be able to mix over five days. so the decorations are not in vain — with a month to go families up and down the country can start planning. i love christmas, and it's the only time of year that i get everybody together, so it is very important. schools may be open — but how do they cope when one in five students is at home because of covid restrictions why should leaseholders have to pay for cladding defects they didn't know about — m

the midlands, southern england, northern and eastern areas of scotland seeing some drier weather and some sunshine. the sunshine will turn hazy across england and wales later today, as this area of cloud starts today, as this area of cloud starts to work in and this area of cloud is oui’ to work in and this area of cloud is our next weather system that will be bringing some heavy rain and some strong winds, just in time for the weekend. so let's take a look at this evening's weather forecast. showers continue across western areas initially but later in the night it will turn cloudy with rain really gathering across many parts of the country. a few areas will stay dry but across the south with strengthening southerly winds, it turns milder toward the end of the night. 13 degrees in plymouth as we head into the first part of saturday. we can looking wet and windy, as already mentioned. the area of low pressure loitering through both saturday and sunday with several weather fronts being chucked across the uk. isobars pretty tightly squeezed together. quite windy at times as well. on s

again it's more likely for the midlands southwards. this time on friday that fog will tend to lift more readily. the breeze will pick up a little bit more and we should see sunshine developing. further north, some low cloud around, misty over the hills. cloud tending to thin, some sunshine coming through away from the northwest. the temperatures ten to 12 degrees again. a little bit milder perhaps towards the south east, but the winds are picking up in the far southwest. the wind direction is changing just in time for the weekend. that's going to be quite significant because that's going to draw up some milder air and push it very slowly northwards. instead of the high pressure that's keeping it quiet at the moment, it'll be quite cold. that's moving away towards continental europe. and lowering pressure from iberia means we've got the threat of some rain coming up from the south. maybe the odd shower around on saturday rain across northern and western areas on sunday. temperatures gradually rising. higher temperatures towards the sout

the local authorities i want to say more about is mid lothian and east midlands are the in. i indicated last week that both of those areas will move from level three to level two unless data suggested the epidemic in those areas was becoming worse. east lothian, as i have indicated, i'm pleased to say case numbers have continued to decline. east lothian will move from level three to level two at 6am today. in recent days we have seen an increase in case numbers in mid lothian from 61 new cases per 100,000 tojust numbers in mid lothian from 61 new cases per 100,000 to just over 97. it is important to say this is still below the national average but a 50% increase in one week is obviously a source of concern. test positivity has also increased to 5.7%. as a precaution therefore, we have decided that midlothian should not move down a level right now, but instead should stay in level three for a further period. i realise this will be disappointing for individuals, but also businesses which will have made preparations for reopening or extending the hours of opening. but we do bel

a wet start the summer northern ireland, wales, some further east across the midlands. wetter weather will push northwards, right will come and go, it will stay grey and murky in north—eastern parts of england and in central and eastern scotland. brightening up in the south and in northern ireland and feeling pleasa nt northern ireland and feeling pleasant where the sun is out. into the evening, shamus returned towards the evening, shamus returned towards the channel islands, south—west england and wales. low—pressure to the west of us so a southerly flow and across western areas, likely to see outbreaks of rain through the night into monday. i don't start to the new week across western areas, in the east, cloudy but optimistic, the club will fill and break at times so we will have sunny spells. downpours in wales in the south—west. temperatures above where they should be for this time of year. through the rest of the weekend, low—pressure remains to the west but it turns windier through mid week, rain at times across western areas, some eastern areas staying

and that rain keeps on falling to parts of northern england, wales and the midlands as we go through sunday night and into monday, also pushing into parts of south—west england as well, slowly starting to ease, and we start the new week very mild indeed. overnight temperatures not that much different from what we will see in the daytime. so this is where we are on monday. that frontal system starting to pull away, but still showers or longer spells of rain pushing in from the west, and still another windy day, so it's quite a messy picture to start the new week. if you like the weekend weather, it's just lingering into the new week. some places may manage to stay dry, but those showers never too far away. and temperatures again ina range from 10 to 17 celsius, so we are still fairly mild, but not for much longer. the winds definitely still a feature, still quite gusty but gradually easing down, and that process will continue as we go through tuesday and into wednesday because, finally, we start to see an area of high—pressure starting to build across the atlantic and heading our

it will very gradually move eastwards, bringing rain into parts of the midlands and central and southern england before long. a few showers for northern ireland and scotland, otherwise with clear spells, cold, might see 1—2 areas with a touch of frost. our weather front continues to push eastwards, but it gets stretched out between these two areas of low pressure — one in scandinavia and one in spain and portugal. so the front will weaken very quickly as it slowly edges its way eastwards through wednesday, the rain becoming increasingly light and patchy as it dribbles its way across the midlands into east anglia and southeast england. there's no great rainfall amounts for these areas. the mild airjust hanging on across the east. 14—15 celsius in the very warmest spots but further north and west, it's much colder. temperatures down into single figures. following that, wednesday night, we will see patches of frost developing and maybe a few areas of fog to start the day on thursday. thursday looks like being a pretty decent day. yes, it will be cooler than it has been of late, but mo

i suspect it will stay pretty murky across the midlands and eastern wales for most of the day, butjust like today there will be some areas where the cloud breaks up to reveal some sunshine, the breeze picking up in western scotland to give the threat of a little light rain to end the day. there will be rather more than light rain though as we head into monday, these weather systems pushing in and bringing outbreaks of rain in from the north—west, the rain pushing southward through the day. skies clear in scotland again, some sunshine moving in here later on, and it will start to feel a little colder for a this time, a little colder for a time, temperatures dropping somewhat. look at the weather picture beyond and into the middle part of the week. got another cold front that is going to be edging its way southwards as we get towards the middle part of the week and really quite chilly air will be following that in, so quite an unsettled spell of weather midweek with the temperatures really dropping away — from wednesday onwards it will feel really quite cold. that is your weather. th

and by the end of the night, it'll be lying across northern ireland, wales, the midlands and into the south east. here, it will be milder because of the rain. fairly chilly in the north for a while, but those temperatures will start to rise as we move into sunday morning. that band of rain moves northwards across the country on sunday, and this next one will arrive later on sunday into monday. so, it'll be much a cloudier day across the country. that band of rain across central and northern areas will push into scotland, turning lighter and patch year. behind it, we could start to see some sunshine developing across northern ireland, wales and the south west. but here, it will be breezier, and in fact further north the winds will be a little stronger than they have been of late. the milder air reaching as far north as northern ireland, so northern ireland up to northern england, southwards 14—16 degrees, 10—11 degrees across scotland. but the mild air reaches scotland as we move into monday. we'll see more weather fronts pushing into mainly southern and western areas to bring outb
