for england, wales, a lot of cloud. there will be some patches of light rain and drizzle as that system pushes south—eastwards. the skies brighter for scotland, northern ireland and northern england. strong winds for western scotland and plenty of showers going right the way across scotland, some from northern ireland, some for the far north of england. turning colder. temperatures between five and seven degrees. we have some wet and windy weather on the way for thursday. the heaviest rain for wales and southern counties of england. showers in scotland. well, they are going to be turning increasingly wintry with some snow, particularly above around 300 metres elevation as the colder air starts to really dig in. and we end the week with low pressure slowly pushing to the eastern side of the country. now, this low pressure could well start to engage some of that colder air, so we may well see some of the rain turn to snow, but more especially over high ground, probably above 200 or 300 metres elevation. nevertheless, as

in a statement, the football association of wales said... page is a familiar face in the wales camp as an assistant to gigs. he has the task of putting focus back on the task of putting focus back on the pitch. wales face the usa in a family next week with two nations league matches against them public —— the republic of ireland. he will announce his squad on thursday. kate morgan, bbc news. for more, we'rejoined live by our senior sports news reporter laura scott. laura, ahead of those games, how big a blow will this be for the wales team at a crucial time? it is just destructive for the wales camp as they head into this international window. not anything they would have wanted because these are important games, because the friendly against the united states, they've got these two home games against the republic of ireland and finland, and they are currently ‘s top of the group of the nations league and they will be keen to stay there. they are 1.1 point ahead of finland, so these games are incredibly important because topping their g

the first only opened in wales on the 3rd of july. we were locked down again on the 1st of october after eight weeks of very good and buoyant trading. we we re of very good and buoyant trading. we were lockdown on the 1st of october ina were lockdown on the 1st of october in a local lockdown. i wasjust going to ask you then, what you would like to see as we prepare for christmas and january, which is probably not a great month for hotels on the coast. nonetheless, coordination between the four governments in the uk to ensure there aren't these kind of unintended consequences. there aren't these kind of unintended consequencesm there aren't these kind of unintended consequences. it really is essential. i think this is a true case in point as to what the consequences are likely to be if it is not aligned. 0f consequences are likely to be if it is not aligned. of course, we are waiting to hear now what happens after the 2nd of december and what restrictions there are likely to be that will further impact changing —— trading for wales

wales doesn't? it shouldn't be happening. mair says while some health boards kept services going remotely using technology, others were inadequate. that lack of consistency, is very, very worrying. some might become a harm to themselves or danger to themselves. i worry that some of those people will have a... will spiral downwards, that they will lose their trust and not want to seek help again. in some severe cases i reckon we might see some deaths, unfortunately. who do you hold responsible? welsh government. and whilst i'm willing to say of course, this was a new situation for a lot of us, but you're in thatjob for a reason. you're there to lead. so where was the leadership? the welsh government has appointed a dedicated ministerfor mental health and invested nearly £10 million extra in services. but is there an unacceptable level of difference in the services provided between health board areas? in terms of mental health, when we're looking at the returns come in from what north wales are doing

but the position around wales varies a lot. here in llandudno they are in the county with the lowest case rate, just 27 per 100,000. the seaside hotels here are not being told to shut, but fear the wales wide measures will keep customers away. some people won't come if it means they are not able to go out, because it's part of the overall experience. and given the time of the year this is being imposed on us, ijust think it's a really cruel blow. this thing is very much a one size fits all approach and it's cost us dearly in the long run. this pandemic is far more than a numbers game. lives and livelihoods are always in the balance. the gamble now is whether these measures will get the virus back under control. the welsh government insists that the lockdown a fortnight ago did work but since we've seen just how quickly case can rise again in some parts of wales at least. the first minister mark drakeford admits that measures could have been used perhaps more slowly but he rejects the idea that tears would be the a nswer the ide

well, we've got a lot of cloud to come across england and wales through the day today. further north, a cold front bringing rain further north to scotland and northern ireland at the moment will sink across to parts of northern england and wales, with the rain quite light and patchy. for scotland and northern ireland, then, the weather brightens up with sunshine and showers. mild for england and wales, but the cooler air arriving across scotland and northern ireland, and it stays quite windy today. the windiest weather in shetland with gusts still running in at around 50 or 60 mph. overnight, winds pushing in southwards taking light rain and drizzle with it across wales and into southern counties of england. the clouds clear a little bit further northwards and there will be further showers for scotland and northern ireland continuing to be driven on by a strong wind overnight. on sunday, those blustery showers continuing for scotland and northern ireland, and much sunnier weather for northern england and wales, the midlands and parts of east anglia, and eventually, the

we have had here in wales. up until the end of the firebreak, there were a couple of areas in wales that had the highest rate of transmission of coronavirus across the whole of the uk. however, now as we have exited the firebreak and the lockdown, numbers seem to be decreasing across wales when it comes to transmission. but of course, the hospital numbers are still pretty high as people recover from the illness. as we know, when it comes to any sort of figures on coronavirus, things are delayed so no doubt this will have a knock—on effect as well. we won't realise and see if people have recovered, and see if the hospital admissions have decreased, until about two or three weeks' time. what does this mean for anyone who will, you know, is worried about getting a bed either for covid or another condition? about hospital capacity? so, hospital capacities are relatively full at the moment. as i say, when it comes to the critical care beds and the situation across wales, there is still room and capacity there at t

first, over to dan from bbc wales. thank you, i would be really grateful if you could answer these in welsh. you said people would only do what is it really necessary, but you're permitting people to do what is perhaps not necessary after the firebreak, to go out to a pub for a meal. if you think people should only leave their homes when it is genuinely necessary, then society is basically being asked to impose its own lockdown. what i'm saying to people in wales as this, we will have this new simple set of national rules beyond the firebreak period, but if people approach that period by asking themselves what is the maximum i can do? how many things cani maximum i can do? how many things can i now take part in? how many people can i meet? how far will i travel? that will lead us all back into the difficulties we have faced in this awesome. so what we have to haveis in this awesome. so what we have to have is a set of national rules together with the ongoing determination of people in wales to do the right thing, for e

this is a very big call for wales to make for the future of the students. hywel, thank you very much. some young children have regressed back to nappies — and forgotten basic skills like using a fork and knife due to the pandemic. a report by the education watchdog 0fsted says most children in england have fallen back on their learning, with social skills also being impacted. the department for education says it shows the need to keep schools open. the time is almost quarter past one. our top story this lunchtime: gps are told to get ready to roll out the new covid vaccine from next month. and coming up... the fa chairman, greg clarke, apologises for using outdated language. coming up on bbc news... heyjude — a first call—up for borussia dortmund midfielder bellingham to the england squad. the 17—year—old advances from the under—21s side for their three internationals later this month. the bbc has learned that a growing backlog of general surgery and cancer treatments in wales could end up costing thousands of lives. 0ne leading surgeon says as

late in the day some rain arriving across western parts of england and wales. the winds will also be a feature on wednesday, from the south picking up through the day, 40—50 mph gusts of wind in the west. late in the day, further east, it should stay dry, bright and less blustery. still some wet and windy weather likely on thursday in the south. that clears away and then more rain moving into the north—west as we head through into friday. simon. sarah, thank you very much. a reminder of our top story. a major breakthrough in the fight against corononavirus — preliminary tests show a vaccine in development is 90% effective at preventing the disease. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. a lot of talk around the hectic premier league schedule withjurgen klopp and pep guardiola adding their voices to the condemnation. the liverpool boss has warned next summer's euros could be decimated by injuries if the issu

travel will be prohibited outside of wales, but people can holiday within wales, but people can holiday within wales, and talking about england, now that that lockdown is in place, mark drakeford said that they would bea ban mark drakeford said that they would be a ban now between people travelling between the two neighbouring countries. it is really important that as we open up, wales doesn't become an escape for people seeking to circumvent the new tighter restrictions imposed by the prime minister. there will be no travel restrictions inside wales, but during the month long lockdown in england, travel will not be permitted outside wales without a reasonable excuse. there will be a few exceptions for people travelling between wales and england. that will between wales and england. that will be for work purposes or for care purposes, but other than that, there will be no exceptions. the firebreak here ending a week today on the 9th of november. tomos, thank you very much. one of the key differences between this second lockdown and the first is that schools in england will remain open.

together we will keep wales safe. i will now ta ke will keep wales safe. i will now take questions, as usual. the whole of the proceedings will be broadcast live on the welsh government's social media channels. first today, over to sarah dickens at bbc wales. when you look at the scottish example of what has happened there, why did you decide to adopt the closing of pubs at six o'clock and no alcohol, rather than changing the numberof no alcohol, rather than changing the number of people in households? they are much stricter on people meeting up are much stricter on people meeting up from households. why did you decide to ditch the alcohol but keep meeting in groups? alcohol isn't allowed in scotland either, so that is the same. 0ur decision on allowing four people from different households along to meet as essentially due to our wish to make sure that our young people have a legal way of getting together. when you allow households to meet, it really doesn't work for younger people— they can't meet up with a friend and other people they socialise with no

november in north—west wales, and the famous weather has already kicked in. wales finished its firebreak almost two weeks ago, but even in the rain, it still feels eerie on the streets of aberdovey — just like a lockdown is still in place. it's never been so quiet for this time of year in all of the 13 years peter holt has run his cafe. does it feel a little bit like a ghost town at the moment here? it's nice for the locals. the locals absolutely love it. but as a business, we need the people, yes. people need to come. well, we feel a bit safer. i know we can travel anywhere in wales, but i don't think people want to do that either. after the first lockdown, tourist hotspots across wales saw record numbers visiting with fewer people wanting to go abroad for the holidays. but areas like aberdovey, according to the welsh tourism alliance, are 80—90% reliant on visitors coming from england, so a lockdown over the border has a significant impact on businesses. from the celtic manor resort outside newport to zipworld and its adventure attractions in snowdonia,

in wales, it was! person in 165, with rates decreasing over the past two weeks, and in northern ireland, rates have been decreasing over four weeks, and 1 in 435 people are infected. the deputy chief medical officerfor england is cautiously optimistic. overall, clearly it is an improving picture. these are very early signs that the epidemic is beginning to level. but we should be cautious about interpreting bout, and, you know, please everyone remember that itjust takes a few seconds to create new infections. christmas family get—togethers may still be in doubt, but some restrictions are being lifted today. the government has changed lockdown rules in england so that christmas tree farms and sellers and start trading from this morning. anna o'neill, bbc news. just after 9:00 this morning we'll be joined by virologist professor calum semple, and gp dr sarahjarvis, who will be on hand to answer all your covid questions. send them in by email, or on social media. this works out really well because both

i also want to reassure the people of scotland, wales and northern ireland. the furlough scheme was designed and delivered by the government of the united kingdom on behalf of all the people of the united kingdom, wherever they live. that has been the case since march and it is a case now and it will remain the case until next march. businesses are more gauche have been pleading for certainty from this government, but the chancellor keeps ignoring them until the last possible moment, afterjobs have been lost and businesses have gone bust. the national lockdown was announced on saturday, many weeks after both sage and labour called for a circuit breaker. the chancellor ridiculed those proposals and labour argued that scotland should have access to the furlough scheme, should there need to be a national lockdown north of the border, and once again the chancellor said no. then the prime minister said yes, cue another undignified scramble to accept that demand today. the snp said nations outside england had been ignored. the reality is that scotland, wales, north

but first the covid situation in wales. new covid restrictions will come into force in wales as cases continue to rise again having fallen after the firebreak lockdown. first minister, mark drakeford, said the restrictions would "focus on places where coronavirus thrives". it means that from friday next week, cinemas, bowling alleys and other indoor entertainment venues will close. this week we have seen restrictions tightened and extended in many countries across the whole of europe. the uk government has announced a strengthened tiered system that comes into force in england from wednesday of next week and today northern ireland begins a new two—week lockdown period, and scotland has this week extended the highest level restrictions are there. restrictions there. we, too, now in wales need to use the coming weeks to reduce the spread of the virus and to create more headroom for the christmas period. that doesn't mean a return to firebreak arrangements. but the cabinet has agreed to take further specific and targeted act

how tourism businesses in wales are struggling to stay afloat. and coming up, barack obama discusses his long—awaited memoir a promised land with historian david olusoga. the prime minister is facing further criticism for disregarding an independent report which said home secretary priti patel broke the ministerial code by bullying staff. number 10 has rejected claims, made by a whitehall source, that borisjohnson had asked for the inquiry findings to be toned down. it has insisted that the conclusions made by sir alex allan — who has now resigned as independent advisor on ministerial standards — were "entirely his own". our political correspondent helen catt has more. the findings of sir alex allan's report into priti patel were stark. one of the government's most senior ministers had shouted and sworn at staff, and some of her behaviour had amounted to bullying. yesterday she apologised. well, i'm here to give an unreserved apology today, and i am sorry if i have upset people in any way whatsoever. that was completely unintentional. but s

ryan, a graduate in north wales, suffers from serious mental health issues. he had been coping well, but his treatment was stopped because of lockdown. one of 1,700 mental health patients across north wales who were wrongly discharged. ijust got a voice mail message, which i could hardly hear, and just a very blunt letter, and, you know, in your head you're just on a precipice, not knowing what's next. betsi cadwaladr health board has apologised to those like ryan who feel let down. and the welsh government says it has invested almost £10 million in extra services. but figures from swansea university show that across wales 43% fewer people contacted their gp during lockdown for severe mental health issues. i worry that some of those people will have — will spiral downwards, that they will lose their trust and not want to seek help again. in some severe cases i reckon we might see some deaths, unfortunately. simon's determined to use what time he has left to keep racing and raising money. but as wales emerges from a second lockdown, it is clear the nhs will

hello, a lot of cloud across england and wales through the day today. furthermore, a cold front bringing rain to scotland and northern ireland, it will sink a cross into northern england and wales but the rain is light and patchy. showers in scotland, mild in england and wales, but some cool air in northern ireland. it stays quite windy today, mostly in the shetland, with gusts of around 60 mph. 0vernight, the weather front pushes to the south, taking light rain and drizzle with it, into england. the skies will clear a bit further north, but further showers for scotland and northern ireland, driven in. a windy day on sunday, with blustery showers continuing in scotland and northern ireland. more sunny in england, wales, the midlands and parts of east anglia. for most of us it will feel a bit cooler. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the home secretary priti patel keeps herjob — after being found to have broken rules by bullying staff. questions for boris johnson, over his influence on the report. the nhs starts setting up coronavirus vaccinati

clear skies follow across most of england, wales and scotland for a most of england, wales and scotland fora time, most of england, wales and scotland for a time, long enough to allow temperatures to dip down below freezing, so we are looking at the touch of frost to start the day on tuesday. tuesday, cold air to start within place, but then we have this milderair within place, but then we have this milder air moving within place, but then we have this milderair moving in within place, but then we have this milder air moving in across the atlantic. this is a warm sector pushing in from the north—west. i think for many across eastern wales, most of england, and eastern scotland, a bright start with some sunshine. cold northerly winds, temperatures struggling, high is a 5-6%. temperatures struggling, high is a 5—6%. across the north it turns milder, but with that, a lot of low cloud. mist and fog patches over high ground, and of drizzle around as well. further changes in the picture towards the middle of the week. another cold front slide south eastwards, introducing much colder air a

england have beaten wales 24—13 in rugby union's autumn nations cup. victory in llanelli means that they top their group and they'll play france in the final next weekend. here's our sport correspondent katie gornall. there are few sporting occasions that would miss fans more than wales versus england, and with the stands silent, it was up to others to provide the soundtrack. they sing welsh national anthem a run of poor form left wales in need of a bit of luck. when the chance came, they seized it. last year, jonny williams took time out for cancer treatment. now he's back doing what he does best. the six nations champions quickly hit back, stretching the welsh defence while henry slade strolled. 0wen farrell had missed his first two kicks. his third would give england the lead before half—time. and after it, they edged further ahead, mako vunipola short on space but still finding room to twist, turn and muscle to the line. eddiejones had more muscle to turn to, and although wales kept it closer than many expected, the flow was with farrell. now eng

but the position around wales varies a lot. here in llandudno they are in the county with the lowest case rate, just 27 per 100,000. the seaside hotels here are not being told to shut, but fear the wales wide measures will keep customers away. some people won't come if it means they are not able to go out, because it's part of the overall experience. and given the time of the year this is being imposed on us, ijust think it's a really cruel blow. this thing is very much a one size fits all approach and its cost us dearly in the long run. this pandemic is far more than a numbers game. lives and livelihoods are always in the balance. the gamble now is whether these measures will get the virus back under control. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. the welsh government insists that its fire break locked on over the fortnight did wear, but what we have seen since isjust fortnight did wear, but what we have seen since is just how quickly the case numbers can rise again and in some parts of wellesley. march eig

wales and then in england. because wales is a very close neighbor of england and the population is in england there will be movements and when there are a movement whatever happens in england will also happen in wales therefore we need to synchronize the control measures in both the countries at the same time otherwise you are hurting one economy whilst the other economy creates all the cases which will then come and in fact your people that you were trying to prevent from getting infected or bombs as a call for a unified policy across england wales the scotland would would that work well and you're thinking at the moment but yet system in scotland and i know that some entity beyond would just suggest that he if he hears like lawyers for the central down route out of stricter rules doubt will control more effectively what's happening in new jersey as the chief one in 2 years will continue to see problems and they will gradually grow up to the point where you're they will need stricter rules insurance so that is

england and wales we start another fairly mild day, across england and wales we start anotherfairly mild day, but across england and wales we start another fairly mild day, but that mild airwill another fairly mild day, but that mild air will squeeze away as the cauldron pushes east slowly and the cold at brighter conditions moving into the north and west throughout, so into the north and west throughout, so scotland and northern ireland with a brighter day, sunshine and scattered showers. brightening up in the north and west of england, but staying cloudy in the midlands, channel islands, saddam england on the south—east as well as east anglia and here we could see rain and drizzle going —— southern england. still in trouble figures, but dropping to single digits, and what will follow will be the return of overnight frost widely with a cold night through wednesday into thursday, with temperatures close if not freezing and we will see dense fog patches in northern ireland, south—west scotland and northern england where they linger through valleys, and temperatures struggle t

wales's 17 day firebreak ends on monday. members of the senned met virtually four questions in the plaid cymru leader argued that the welsh government's reliance on westminster for funding the furlough scheme was strengthening the argument for independence. if we were able to fund ourselves unfettered as an independent country we could invest in the way that slovakia has been able to do, testing two thirds of its entire population over the weekend. when you compare that to the failing uk lighthouse lab system which is letting wales down, is it any wonder that people are joining yes cymru in its thousands. i make the case that the member never does for social solidarity across the united kingdom, for us to share our risks and to get our rewards when we need them. i think that has always been to wales's advantage. it is for the member to explain to wales why he believes that bereft of everything we obtain from being part of the wider whole, wales would be more successful alone on the high seas. the northern ireland executive i

especially across parts of north and west scotland and west wales. for all of us, more rain around, some more than others. we have one approaching weather system which will affect us later, all linking into this area of low pressure, which brought rain through the night. remnants of hurricane zeta between us and ireland, pushing by the north—west of scotland with strengthening winds through the afternoon. a little bit of sunshine here and there, especially across central and eastern areas but flooding over in the west, but clouding over in the west, northern ireland, southern scotland, north and west wales will see the most persistent rain to end the day, the risk of minor flooding. mild to the south, 18 degrees possible, cooler day in scotland and northern ireland. some of the strongest winds, 70—80 mph to finish the day in the north—west highlands, could see 65 mph across parts of west wales and those strong winds transfer into parts of northern england tonight. tonight, some rain through the central swathe of the country, clearer skies to th

the same sort of testing will be offered in wales. scotland and northern ireland are expected to set out similar guidance. students testing positive will have to follow normal isolation rules, but the idea is they can do that, recover and still make it home in time. if not, there is a promise they will be looked after. it is really, really important that we stress that stu d e nts important that we stress that students who are still with us will be looked after. we feed our students, we do their laundry for them, we provide learning spaces, we provide activities for them when they are self—isolating. we keep all of our libraries and study spaces open over the christmas period. any teaching that isn't already online will be, so that learning can continue from home, but there are other big challenges, getting more than a million young people on the move again across the country. and how many tests will be made available? will there be enough? how many students will come forward? and what will be the impact of positive cases being conf

lockdown, how will that affect wales? there will be a travel ban coming into wales. but what might dra keford coming into wales. but what might drakeford said this morning as they will be no going back to local restrictions in wales, —— what mark dra keford restrictions in wales, —— what mark drakeford said this morning. it will bea drakeford said this morning. it will be a national approach. there will be a basic set of national rules in wales that will be simpler and clearer, and it will allow for something beyond what we have had during the firebreak period. but my top message to people in wales is, don't make your first question to yourself, "how far can i stretch the rules?" make the first question, "what should i do? what contribution can i make to keeping myself and others safe?" and tojudge your actions against that criteria. if we do that, then there is a way out of coronavirus that will safeguard us all. if we play it as a game in which yourjob is to think about what the rule is and see how much you can stretch it, then i'm afraid the weeks ahead wi

it is been a day of big contrasts weather—wise across the country — england and wales and many areas keeping the low cloud, the mist and the hill fog loitering into the afternoon. further north though, in scotland, quite a contrast with clear blue skies, beautiful sunshine here in glasgow, light winds and stunning reflections. now looking at the weather picture overnight we will keep the clear skies across northern scotland and here it is going to be cold and frosty, with temperatures down to —3 or “11. patches of drizzle will tend to work northwards across england and wales as we go on through the night, still some mist and fog patches lingering around and those temperatures continuing to slowly rise across parts of northern england and northern ireland as well. tomorrow is another cloudy day coming up for most — cold, frosty, but sunny start for north—east scotland. just like today, there could be a few areas where the cloud breaks up, but equally probably some drizzle and mist loitering across the midlands and eastern areas of wales. temperatures 8—10, breezy, with the t
