that was the yorkshire post. talking of yorkshire, all creatures great and small. aaron my family love it. it is encouraging americans to flock to yorkshire because it's an altogether different beast to their own tv shows. 10 million watched the first series. the second series is going out. the rolling stone nothing i wanted to watch more than the gentle, slow, lush scenery, adorable animals and ensemble of nice people. it is an incredible balm and a welcome contrast to what they call the dumpster fire of our own reality. real yorkshire tolls say 90% of their visitors are american, inspired by this programme. this is a great quote explaining the magic of it. one guy said, somebody said to me we love it because nothing ever happens. there might be a slight problem with birthing a cow, but people are used violence on tv. it's wholesome, i understand how people like to live. i love it. it’s understand how people like to live. i love it. i ., understand how people like to live. i love it-_ it's- i love it. it's low level. it's gorgeous _ i love it. it's low level. it

there's some light rain or drizzle on it pushing its way eastwards, lying somewhere from yorkshire through the midlands towards the isle of wight during the afternoon. west of that we will see extensive mist, low cloud around some of the coast, but 12 or 13 degrees. before that weather front arrives, eight or nine in the east. that weather front then pushes away southwards as we go through into tuesday. milder start in the south, the cloud, occasional rain or drizzle, particularly to the south—east during the day. much brighter conditions further north, with sunny spells. a few showers continue in scotland, strong to gale force winds, as well. temperatures drop relative to monday, but there's still a degree or two above what we would normally expect in this stage of the year, and they will climb a little bit further for some as we go through this coming week. through wednesday in the second half of the week, high pressure builds in across the south. closer to that area of high pressure, so, southern parts of england and wales, this is where we could see some overnight frost and fog. that

there may be a dusting of snow on the north yorkshire movers overnight. but many places will be dry with that frost setting in once again. there will be a few areas of cloud arrived in northern ireland, may be the chance of a shower. there will be also tomorrow at least initially in pembrokeshire before the sun takes over. on thursday the brisk wind becomes mainly confined towards lincolnshire and norfolk as the afternoon goes on, but it will be chilly here tomorrow. nowhere will be particularly warm but there will be particularly warm but there will be quite a bit of sunshine around and the wind will gradually be easing. where it is clear, overnight into friday frost will set in. but clouds fills in more in northern ireland, western scotland and parts of north—west england and west wales. where you see that client, you will avoid the frost, but in a large swathes of england there is a hard frost as friday begins but with sunny spells to follow. high pressure is in control and that brings a lot of dry weather on friday. a touch more cloud towards the we

the yorkshire post splashes with warnings of an nhs staffing crisis as it reports nearly six million patients are waiting to be treated. the mirror describes it as a "perfect storm" as it reports 2a trusts declare major incidents across the uk. "a boost for holidays" — the times reports as pre—departure tests, which previously you'd be required to take two days before you travel home, are scrapped for arrivals into england. let's begin, penny, why don't you open the serving, if you like, since were talking about tennis? this is a sensational story, because novak djokovic thought you had a medical exemption, he thought he could go and play in the australian open, maybe get his 21st grand slam — but instead, the door is being slammed on him and he's being deported? he: arrived at 11:15pm local time from dubai on a scheduled plane, and at 8am got told he's not going any further, than the deportation letter was issued. i was looking through some of the other papers, and apparently he posted a picture yesterday saying he's ready to live and breathe tennis. so perhaps a little bit of

need 2020, well that alleged party was happening at downing street, streets across yorkshire that were usually busy fell quiet as the government told people they could not leave home without a reasonable excuse. today that discrepancy was not lost on shoppers in leeds. i could not go and see my husband in hospital who was seriously ill in hospital who was seriously ill in hospital with cancer and it really hurts. all i could do was see him from outside the word. i took him some clothing and it broke my heart and to think people like him can get away with it it is one rule for him and one for us. it away with it it is one rule for him and one for us.— and one for us. if he were to apologise — and one for us. if he were to apologise with _ and one for us. if he were to apologise with at _ and one for us. if he were to apologise with at the - and one for us. if he were to l apologise with at the enough? and one for us. if he were to - apologise with at the enough? no, because he — apologise with at the enough? iifr, because he has done too much of it. you don't take notice of theni.

some rain for a time, not lasting very long, moving through yorkshire, into northern wales. it will end up somewhere in the south in the middle of the afternoon. by then, very little rain associated with this weather front. for many of us, sunday will be a bright or sunny day with temperatures around eight degrees. the high pressure is back almost right on top of us on monday. certainly across southern england and northern france, that means windless conditions, stable and calm conditions once again. and i think a recipe for that fog to reform once again. it won't reform until monday night, into tuesday. monday itself is looking fine. again, similar temperatures compared to what we have been used to, around seven or eight degrees. this is the summary — very little changes. bright, sunny weather. and, at times, foggy in the morning. that's it from me, bye. hello this is bbc news with joanna gosling. the headlines: some conservative mps say they're being inundated with complaints from angry constituents, as more details emerge about lockdown parties in downing street. the le

the north east and yorkshire was hardest hit. there were more than 7,000 covid absences, which is 5% of staff and up by 79% on the previous week. in london, there were over 5,000 covid absences, or 3% of staff. that is down by 4% on the week before. these figures are really stark. outside of health care, staffing shortages are closing shops and cancelling trains. but nurses can't stop helping their patients, so what's happening instead is that they're finding themselves being spread thinner and thinner, but they can't keep doing that indefinitely. the situation is not safe. from assisting paramedics to bolstering teams at testing sites and vaccination centres, more than 1,800 service personnel have already been deployed across the uk. around 90 are preparing to assist three health boards in scotland, while in england, 200 army medics and soldiers are being deployed across hospitals in london. this winter, there is an extraordinary pressure on our nhs. it is our duty to be a sticking plasterfor the nhs to help get through a time o
