concerns in a conservative party, both among moderates and hardliners under legislation the prime minister was really trying to sell at a press conference yesterday ahead of what promises to be a real crunch vote in the house of commons next week. thank you. excuse me! sorry. charlie is bringing us up to date with developments on a long—running case. the serial killer steve wright, who was convicted of the murders of five women in ipswich in 2006, has been arrested in connection with the death of 17—year—old victoria hall, who went missing following a night out in felixstowe in september 1999. robert townsend reports. the disappearance of victoria hall in 1999 sparked an extensive police investigation at the time. now, 24 years later, the convicted serial killer steve wright has been arrested in connection with the case. the bbc understands it's the second time he's been questioned over victoria's death — the first two years ago in 2021.

he's now been released from police custody, back into prison, under investigation. wright is currently serving a whole—life sentence after he was convicted of murdering five women in ipswich in 2006. at the moment, at this moment in time, the spice girls... 17—year—old victoria was last seen on september the 19th, 1999, in the village of trimley saint mary, close to her family home. she was returning home from an evening out with a female friend at a nightclub in felixstowe. five days later, her body was found by a dog—walker, lying in a roadside ditch 25 miles away. you've got some information that you wanted to release here today. the re—opening of the case four years ago led to a bbc crimewatch appeal, and renewed hope for victoria's family. it won't bring victoria back if we find out who did it, but it would ease some of the things that we wonder what happened on that night — why the person decided to do this — and that would help us in that way

to get closure on the event. although, as i said, it wouldn't be victoria back. although, as i said, it wouldn't bring victoria back. you've taken a large - part of our hearts away. at least give us that little bit of closure back. - after more than two decades of questions, it's hoped this latest development in the investigation could now lead to some answers. robert townsend, bbc news. the us has criticised israel's conduct of the war in southern gaza saying there's "a gap" between the promises to protect civilians and the numbers of people being killed. it comes as images appear to show dozens of palestinian men stripped to their underwear, being held by israeli defence forces. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us from jerusalem. yolande, just talk us through these latest pictures of these palestinian men held. irate

israel's war in southern gaza and saying there is a gap between israel's delayed delac kerr declared intention is to protect civilians and what is happening on the ground because the us asked israel after what happened in the north of the gaza strip really to take more steps to protect the civilian life as it went into the south, as it moved in on khan younis as it sees as an another stronghold of hamas. there is a lot of international pressure growing on israel now and you can see that, as well, with the un security council being asked to vote later on a ceasefire. we expect the us to veto that, but ultimately this puts pressure on israel to bring things to a close sooner rather than later. ., ., ., ~ , ., president biden�*s son, hunter biden, has been charged with tax evasion. prosecutors say he took part in a scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million — that's around £1.1 million. if convicted, he faces up to 17 years in prison.

the police watchdog has warned that forces don't fully understand the scale and nature of crimes committed by gangs of men who groom children for sexual abuse. in a review of cases, his majesty's inspectorate of police, fire and rescue services found data collection was "unreliable" and intelligence gathering "wasn't prioritised". hundreds of 0xfam staff in the uk will go on strike today for the first time in the charity's 81—year history. last—ditch talks between 0xfam and the unite union failed to produce an agreement to avoid industrial action. about 200 shops will be affected. the funeral of the singer—songwriter shane macgowan is taking place in ireland today. the musician, who was best known for fronting the pogues, died last week at the age of 65. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page reports. ireland is paying tribute to its punk poetic songwriting genius. shane macgowan first made his name in london, but his talent was forged

here in county tipperary — where he had family roots and was steeped in irish folk music. # it was christmas eve, babe. # in the drunk tank. # an old man said to me. # "won't see another one"... his most famous song is now synonymous with this time of year — the fairytale of new york by the pogues and kirsty maccoll was recorded in the band's heyday in the 1980s. # they've got cars big as bars. # they've got rivers of gold. # but the wind goes right through you. # it's no place for the old... # as i wander down the long lonesome highway... shane macgowan�*s career was affected by problems with drugs and alcohol, but his music's been praised across the world. today, thousands of people are expected to line the streets of south dublin for a funeral procession.

then the singer's coffin will be driven to tipperary for a service in this church in nenagh. # i kissed my girl by the factory wall... people are walking around the town centre of nenagh to the tune of music by the pogues playing out over speakers. everyone seems to be really proud of the role this place played in the life of one of ireland's greatest—ever cultural icons. i'm delighted to hear his music being played today. it's really very cheering, you know. it's sadness for his family, all right, you know. he's a sort of a national institution, you know? and he really kind of captured something about that experience of being betwixt and between being irish and english or english and irish and so on. he caught that in, i think, a very beautiful way, a very poetic way. and i thank him for that. it was really fantastic. great to give him a good send—off and it's lovely that the town - are celebrating his life. and yeah, so it'll be -

lovely to have the funeral through his home town. i play my music myself, but we all look up to shane macgowan. we always will. his family have said they hope to give people who admired shane macgowan the chance to wish him godspeed. this will be a day to remember a unique radical artist. chris page, bbc news, nenagh. manchester city streets turned into a catwalk last night as french luxury brand, chanel, turned it into a catwalk for a prestigious fashion show. the event had been shrouded in secrecy, with parts of the city closed off for weeks. the fashion house said it chose manchester because of its pop culture and textile history. there was a lot put into that, you know. there was a temporary glass roof but over the street so that the celebrities who were there, lots of people over from the states, didn't

the big mobile phone companies have over—charged millions of us. the claim is that monthly fees after your contract is up often include a charge for the handset itself which customers — by that point — generally own. the bbc has approached each of the companies named in this claim. ee called it "speculative", while 02 said it had already "launched split contracts a decade ago, which automatically and fully reduce customers' bills once they've paid off their handset". vodafone said it didn't have enough detail yet for its legal team to assess. and three? well, it has declined to comment on this case. the controversy around loyalty penalties isn't new. long—standing customers often worry they end up paying more than new ones — unless they renew or switch at the end of their contract. it's notjust a problem with mobile phones. this is also an issue with broadband, insurance and mortgage deals. citizens advice have been

on the case on this one for years. when it comes to mobile customers, they say the loyalty penalty amounted to £83 million last year. they told us "little meaningful action has been taken", that despite relatively new rules from the regulator ofcom, which require providers to tell customers when their contract is coming to an end. they should also show you the best deals available — but they don't have to tell you the cheapest on the market. so it's always worth contacting your provider or shopping around. the regulator reckons we could save about £83 a year on average by switching. today's legal claim suggests millions of us could be owed more than £1,800 for each contract, but don't get too excited — these claims often take years to resolve. before we get to how much we are all

owed. or not. keen to hear from you on this one — have you been a victim of the so—called loyalty penalty? or have you had problems switching? get in touch and all the usual ways. details on the screen. there we are. perhaps we may not get some money straightaway but what this might do is bring attention to this issue once again, maybe for suppliers and regulators to look again at whether the reels need changing. it is regulators to look again at whether the reels need changing. it is worth knowina. the reels need changing. it is worth knowing. peter, _ the reels need changing. it is worth knowing. peter, thank— the reels need changing. it is worth knowing. peter, thank you. - after one week and more than 190 miles, kevin sinfield has completed his gruelling challenge of running seven ultra marathons, in seven days, in seven cities. i think it is fair to say that he is tired today. kevin's latest mission to raise money for those affected by motor neurone disease — inspired by his friend and former team—mate rob burrow — came to an emotional end in london. john maguire has spent the past week with kevin — and can explain what happened on the final stretch. cheering. leaving the twickenham rugby stadium was groundhog day — and some.

it all started six days, six cities, and more than 169 gruelling miles ago. from wales. to scotland. over to ireland and back. all in december. this was as tough as it gets. richmond park was the venue for the final extra mile... all: well done, kevin! ..and a reminder of why he puts his body through this, as he met people affected by motor neurone disease here to thank kev for all he's done for them. that was good, that was brilliant. brilliant meeting kevin. the whole morning

was good, wasn't it? because i guess you you'll have followed the exploits from afar, because i guess you'll have followed the exploits from afar, but this was a chance to sort of get involved, really. yeah, absolutely. the first time we've been involved in any of this, been brilliant. and he was alsojoined by a pair of england world cup winners. he'sjust so determined. you know, today he's... he's on his grind today, you know, it's not small—talk days, _ he's really suffering, - he's driving through the pain |a little bit but he knows his goalj is to do it for rob and the motor neurone disease community. and he's... he's a strong fella, _ you know, he's made of stone. it's infectious enthusiasm. you set off and you're not running, oryou're not a runner and you suddenly think, "you know what? i'll do the whole lot." how long did that feeling last for? er...i went on an extra half mile beyond the mile. he's on three—and—a—half—hour pace for a marathon.

i've done a half, i've never done a full, and itjust makes me admire the human being even more than i already did — if that was possible. it's quite incredible, what he's done. from the green space and fresh air... 0k, folks, roll up. come and see kevin sinfield running i the last leg of his ultramarathon. i ..into the city. this was seinfeld monopoly, as he ticked off the london landmarks. this was sinfeld monopoly, as he ticked off the london landmarks. at the tower of london, he was cheered on by the yeoman warders — the beefeaters who guard the crown jewels now supporting a national treasure. what he does is just unreal. i know he's. .. but to do time after time after time... yeah, i know he's got — because of rob and everything — but the whole big picture and the word, it spreads. it's not the warmest at the moment, but still he's out there, plodding along the roads — magnificent effort. running across tower bridge, he told me he was tired. go figure! what's the weather been like?

yeah, it's been ok. hasit? yeah. it's cold... yeah. ..as you can see, but it's got far worse. this was his 50th marathon — but his seventh this week. getting bored of them yet? yeah. i'm going to hang the boots up. laughter. are you? well, not quite! whoa. as the team dodged the traffic and the tourists, notice how the former great britain rugby international spots space, and the bang—average schoolboy playerjust runs into a wall of people. but the walls became a tunnel as they lined the end of the mall. with buckingham palace ahead, the king of the endurance challenges had completed his latest epic. cheering. hugs for the team — all volunteers who've taken time off work to make this possible. we're all pretty shot, we're all pretty tired but... having seen so many faces along the route — some faces that we'd seen at some of the cities we've

been at, actually... it was a massive lift for us all, so... you all know why we're here. hopefully we sent the right message out. the mnd community's a beautiful community and it needs all of us, and it needs all of us to keep fighting. the awareness we've generated this way has been enormous again, and in rob's name... the fundraising is so important. we tried to push this morning how important the money is, cos that's the thing that's going to shift the dial for us — that's the thing that's going to get us a cure. it's also the thing that's going to make sure your families are looked after properly. if there's one thing you leave today with, from our team, it's that. have a great christmas, but spare a thought for those who are a bit less fortunate for us. and if you can help, if you can pick up the phone, please do it. thank you. cheering.

what do you think about when it gets dark and hard and quiet and...slogging away? 0h, ijust keep going. like i said, it's myjob to run. again, i took it right back to the start — we went on a run for a mate with some mates and that's what this is still. you know, even though it's grown and it's become much bigger than that — in its simplest form, that's what this will always be. and the minute it stops being fun, then we'll find something else to do. or the minute i can't run any more. this was his fourth challenge. he joked that rocky iv was one of his favourite films. rocky v in a bit? rocky v? i think fast & furious five were pretty good. crosstalk. we'll see, we'll see. he says he'll run while he still can, for those who can't — giving a voice to people who,

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. you're watching bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. police are appealing for information after an explosive device was used to destroy a ulez camera in south—east london. emergency services were called to the scene at willersley avenue in sidcup on wednesday evening. nobody was injured, but shrapnel did damage a number of nearby buildings and vehicles. unfortunately, it appears that somebody has used an explosive device on one of the ulez cameras. the area affected by the explosion is more than 100 meters. but for the grace of god somebody could have been injured, or worse. as it is, a couple of vehicles have been damaged, a couple of windows have been smashed. i'd encourage anybody with any information about who planted the explosive

to contact the police. an official list from the department for education has revealed another ten schools and colleges in the capital have potentially unsafe concrete. it takes the total number of buildings to 29. all pupils though are able to maintain face—to—face education. now, as the christmas season is fast approaching you may be off to see a show. well, a new production of the nutcracker is on at the tuff nut jazz club at the southbank centre — but it is not the nutcracker as you know it. clara has been replaced with clive, and rather than classical music this production has a live jazz band. i think nutcracker, for every young person around christmas time, is a huge part of their christmas tradition. and what i wanted to do was i wanted to create a nutcracker that i didn't feel like i'd seen before. and it was a nutcracker that felt like it was accepting and that it was a place

for lots of alternative people to feel like they belonged and that actually nutcracker might belong to them. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a few problems on the circle, district and elizabeth line, so do check before you travel. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. a misty start for some of us, especially further towards more eastern parts, but today we are looking at a largely dry day with some good spells of sunshine around, although there is the chance of some occasional showers. so a dry start for most of us, then. some sunny spells but during the afternoon we'll start to see more in the way of cloud arriving in from the west and with at the chance of the showers, and temperatures holding up at around 9—11 celsius. this evening and overnight, though, thicker cloud will arrive in from the west, and by the end of the night we'll start to see some outbreaks of rain arriving in as well. it does stay quite mild, though, as temperatures holed up as temperatures hold up at around 7—8 celsius, becoming breezier, though. and for the start of the weekend it

will be quite unsettled. becoming drier and brighter for saturday afternoon, but it does become unsettled once again for sunday, and for the start of next week as well. so a dry day today for the most part but becoming quite wet to start the day on saturday. improving into the afternoon. the chance of some showers again on sunday, and it will gradually become cooler next week. that's it from me. i'm back every half an hour thorughout the morning. see you a little later. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. borisjohnson has finished giving evidence at the covid inquiry, which is looking into how his government handled the pandemic. the former prime minister admitted some mistakes were made but defended his overall approach. over two days — whilst being watched by bereaved families in the public gallery — the former prime minister answered questions on issues including lockdowns and downing street

parties. our correspondent ellie price has been following the inquiry. shouting the hat was warm, the reception as he left less so — his account of what happened during the pandemic failing to win them over. earlier, the inevitable questions about partygate, and the image that he and his team partied while everyone else was locked down. he said it wasn't like that. the dramatic representations that we're now having of this are absolutely absurd. and i want to repeat that — they are are a million miles from the reality of what happened. there were the snippets of conversations that no one else was meant to hear, like this, recorded in the diaries of the then chief scientific adviser, sir patrick vallance. "the prime minister meeting begins to argue for letting it rip, saying �*yes, there will be more casualties, but so be it. they've had a good innings.”' borisjohnson said he didn't recognise all the words ascribed

to him, and that he had said controversial things to pose a counter—argument. he said the decisions he made proved he wanted to save human life at all ages, and he insisted he really did care. some of us were going to make it and some of us weren't. to say that i didn't care about the suffering that was being inflicted on the country is simply not right. but for some of the bereaved families sitting in the public gallery, it wasn't enough. i was struck so strongly by the complete and utter denial of the truth. facts were presented to borisjohnson by both the kcs who questioned him today. and it wasn't that he was wriggling around. he flat out said, "no, that's not right." that's when he got rattled a couple of times, mrjohnson, at the accusation that he doesn't care, and i'm afraid there's many of us don't believe that he cares. and he didn't deny any

of those comments. i they were all put to him one by one, and he simply shook his head. - it's been a long and sometimes emotional couple of days here at the covid inquiry, and notjust for borisjohnson. i think the other main takeaways, he said he should have twigged earlier the severity of the virus. he should have appreciated the significance of long covid earlier. and on that issue of culture at downing street, something we've heard so much about over the last few weeks, he said it offered an atmosphere of challenge, which was good for decision—making. the inquiry will serve up its final witness on monday. on the menu, this man's eat out to help out scheme we've heard so much about. rishi sunak was chancellor through the pandemic. decisions he made in his old job may yet call into question his judgement in the current one. ellie price, bbc news at the covid inquiry in london. we'rejoined now by hannah brady from covid—19 bereaved families forjustice. good morning to you. we have spoken

good morning to you. we have spoken before. let's explain. your dad, shaun, he died in may and 2020 and he had contracted covid. tell us what happened to your dad. brute he had contracted covid. tell us what happened to your dad. we think ou cau~ht what happened to your dad. we think you caught it — what happened to your dad. we think you caught it on _ what happened to your dad. we think you caught it on his _ what happened to your dad. we think you caught it on his way _ what happened to your dad. we think you caught it on his way to _ what happened to your dad. we think you caught it on his way to work- you caught it on his way to work just before the first lockdown, potentially on his birthday, on the 17th of march. he seemed to get really atypical symptoms of covid, got over it. we kept telling him, if you are not well don't go to work and he said, i am a key worker. he had a letterfrom his company and he said, i am a key worker. he had a letter from his company to say he was allowed to travel to work and he was allowed to travel to work and he felt really valued for the first time in his professional life but it got to the point in april where he couldn't breathe at work, sent home, brought him to hospital, put in a coma and we were rang up on sunday night to say you need to say goodbye to your dad over the phone in case he never wakes up and 40 days later he never wakes up and 40 days later he ended up going into intensive care and we watched him pass away, and he had never woken up. watching

boris and he had never woken up. watching lznoris johnson — and he had never woken up. watching boris johnson at _ and he had never woken up. watching boris johnson at the _ and he had never woken up. watching boris johnson at the covid _ and he had never woken up. watching boris johnson at the covid inquiry, - borisjohnson at the covid inquiry, so he was giving evidence wednesday and thursday. where you are able to watch it? because you are a teacher so you had been working but obviously this has been going on as well and as a bereaved family member you must have been absolutely intrigued by what would come out? absolutely. we had been campaigning for this for three years and it is so hard to not be able to be there but i have a job to do. when the inquiry was set up we were promised it would be itinerant and travel around the country to places like manchester, scotland, wales, northern ireland, but they didn't do that so people like me cannot attend the inquiry midweek. i have a choice, do i watch it at work and burst into tears, bottle it all up until i get home and let it all crashed down on me which is what a lot of the bereaved were forced to do. ,, . ,, ., do. since shaun died, your exolaining _ do. since shaun died, your exolaining to _ do. since shaun died, your explaining to me _ do. since shaun died, your explaining to me there - do. since shaun died, your explaining to me there are| do. since shaun died, your- explaining to me there are two personalities, two hannas? fine

johnson? ~' �* ., , , , johnson? i think i'm not surprised at the way — johnson? i think i'm not surprised at the way johnson _ johnson? i think i'm not surprised at the way johnson approached i johnson? i think i'm not surprised at the way johnson approached it. johnson? i think i'm not surprised. at the way johnson approached it. i at the wayjohnson approached it. i think he came across as rattled. i think he came across as rattled. i think when put under scrutiny, especially by bereaved family lawyers from the uk group and also the northern ireland group, they were really powerful as well, they're kc, hejust crumbled. this evidence put into the written statements, the evidence that is part of the inquiry, it is not for him to agree with disagree with, it is for him to accept so the next time something like this happens we can learn from it. i think it is a shame that bereaved cases were given only 20 minutes of questioning compared to the inquiry�*s kc because we felt that inquiry�*s casey went quite easy onjohnson and left out a lot of questions that were not answered we only had 20 minutes to try and ask. shes answered we only had 20 minutes to try and ask-— try and ask. as you said yourself, the inquiry _ try and ask. as you said yourself, the inquiry has — try and ask. as you said yourself, the inquiry has been _ try and ask. as you said yourself, the inquiry has been set - try and ask. as you said yourself, the inquiry has been set up - try and ask. as you said yourself, the inquiry has been set up to - try and ask. as you said yourself, l the inquiry has been set up to learn lessons from overall how the government handled this. in amongst that, clearly, the bereaved families possibly are coming from a different place, which is that learning things is important but this is an

opportunity to have those people responsible answer for themselves, and so for their actions. do you feel like you as a group and possibly just as an feel like you as a group and possiblyjust as an individual, your family, do you feel like you have been properly represented as part of the inquiry? been properly represented as part of theinaui ? , ., ., the inquiry? absolutely not, no. when it was _ the inquiry? absolutely not, no. when it was set _ the inquiry? absolutely not, no. when it was set up _ the inquiry? absolutely not, no. when it was set up through - the inquiry? absolutely not, no. when it was set up through our| when it was set up through our campaigning for over two years we were promised the bereaved would be at the heart of the inquiry and the baroness kept repeating that. yesterdayjohnson said something and one of our members just gasped in shock and that member was shushed because they were interrupting the live stream. all they did was respond with emotion. we are provided with excellent counsellors at the inquiry for when we want to show emotion but at the centre we are not allowed to show any emotion at the inquiry or we will get shushed or kicked out or something like that. we planned a vigil, peaceful, silent vigil outside the inquiry, with loved ones�* photos

hung up, no shouting or chanting, and a day before we were going to do it the inquiry said we actually get a visual area, no bigger than the side of the couch that could fit about three people, and we had planned for hundreds of people to come and attend because we couldn�*t get people in the inquiry is run like we wanted, so i don�*t think we were represented. i think they are just giving as a council, no emotion. four council, one from each devolved nation, but that is it. we don�*t take into account your stories, the information you could share with the inquiry that could help. things like lock lockdowns, care home deaths, you know, the list goes on. the public face of it is bereaved art at the heart but in actual fact the bereaved are outside the door. == actual fact the bereaved are outside the door. , , . , ., the door. -- the public face is that the door. -- the public face is that the bereaved _ the door. -- the public face is that the bereaved are _ the door. -- the public face is that the bereaved are at _ the door. -- the public face is that the bereaved are at the _ the door. -- the public face is that the bereaved are at the heart. - the door. -- the public face is that l the bereaved are at the heart. there was a moment when borisjohnson spoke about being in hospital with covid and being surrounded by middle—aged men in the same position. his emotion was expressed

and his perhaps fear as well of that situation at that time. you saw that. in terms of not almost the emotion, not asking you to be cold, not looking at the emotion but in the round of planning, what was done, what were the consequences of that? in terms of the pandemic which was ongoing, what did you come away thinking? i was ongoing, what did you come away thinkin: ? ., was ongoing, what did you come away thinkin: ? ,, ,., ., ., ., thinking? i think someone who had been in intensive _ thinking? i think someone who had been in intensive care _ thinking? i think someone who had been in intensive care with - thinking? i think someone who had been in intensive care with covid i been in intensive care with covid are like me watching somebody passing away, johnson said he was surrounded by middle—aged men who are either going to make it or not, in one of those people would have been someone like my dad. he was 55, fit and healthy, the same age as johnson when he caught covid, and if you can sit and lie in an intensive care unit, be so traumatised by covid, but then when the second wave comes make comments allegedly like, let the virus ripped through the population, people have had their innings, that doesn�*t make sense to me. if you can be so aware of what covid can do and how terrible it can

be, then delay a lockdown, circuit breaker, allow interregional lockdowns that don�*t work with into regional governments and things like that, that doesn�*t make sense to me. a lot of other witnesses have said johnson said this and that and their stories are quite consistent, they match up. it is only his that doesn�*t because he is trying to cover his back, he is not trying to learn those lessons. brute cover his back, he is not trying to learn those lessons. we appreciate ou talkin: learn those lessons. we appreciate you talking to _ learn those lessons. we appreciate you talking to us — learn those lessons. we appreciate you talking to us today, _ learn those lessons. we appreciate you talking to us today, hannah, i learn those lessons. we appreciate i you talking to us today, hannah, and your composure in talking about the loss of your father as well, so thank you very much.- loss of your father as well, so thank you very much. thank you for our thank you very much. thank you for your time- — thank you very much. thank you for yourtime- lt _ thank you very much. thank you for yourtime- it is _ thank you very much. thank you for your time. it is 6.44. _ thank you very much. thank you for your time. it is 6.44. coming - thank you very much. thank you for your time. it is 6.44. coming up i thank you very much. thank you for| your time. it is 6.44. coming up to. last month, we set emma webb off on her marathon challenge to walk 157 miles — while pulling a life—sized model of a horse. emma is walking from cardiff to london in memory of her daughter brodie, who took her own life at the age of 16 and

was a talented rider. yesterday, prince william surprised emma byjoining her for a section of the walk. here�*s fiona lamdin. 0h! keen to show his support, prince william surprised her, then walked with them through slough. we first met emma and miles, her 35—kilogram resin horse, as we set them off from wales in november. she had 158 miles in front of her, every step in memory of her daughter brodie, who took her own life aged just 16. we just spent so much time together. incredibly close. more like sisters, mum and daughter, really. more like sisters than mum and daughter, really. brodie was a straight—a student and a talented showjumper. the day she died was no different to any other. she always used to blow me a kiss and mouth, "i love you" as she walked over the road. and that was no different. since being on the road,

emma starts every morning with a good breakfast. we saw you on bbc breakfast last saturday... and waiting outside, locals who are keen tojoin herfor the day. feel free to help push, pull orshove! raising awareness of suicide prevention, emma�*s kept supporters updated via social media, relying on the kindness of strangers on the toughest of days. 0h, he's heavy, isn't he? harder than it looks! it is definitely harder than it looks, especially up hills or on the towpath. on the canal was very, very bumpy. oh, i really appreciate you coming back out, honest. hayden is walking with emma today. she was brodie morgan. my daughter was bronwyn morgan. you know, a little link between the two of them. his daughter bronwyn was training to be a mental health nurse when she took her life five months after brodie. it's the last thing you think about before you go to sleep, and it's the first thing you think about with the start of the day. i think you've just

got to be strong. what emma's doing is an amazing thing and we've become good pals ever since. a cup of tea? oh, wow, i�*d love it. would you like to stop for a cup of tea, anybody? and after five miles, a spontaneous bit of local hospitality en route. ah, wow. oh, you�*re kind. look at that. just what we need! really emotional. imean, these... she's so brave and hayden's so brave, just... _ i cannot bear to think what they're going through every day. - i didn't think it would be - as emotional, but i've learnt so much in the short time i've been walking with them. _ refreshed, they�*re back on the road. she�*s always on your mind. she�*s always on my mind. yeah, absolutely. and we just keep finding little surprises along the way. i was walking along a busy a4 yesterday, no houses or anything around, and on the on the ground was a plastic horse. so, you know, is it a sign? i picked up and he�*s he�*s coming with me now.

0h! here he is. yeah, so another little mascot. we�*ve got another horse along the way. what mile are we on now? ah, roughly 118. 118. yeah. 0k. well over half. well over halfway. well over half. you�*re nearly there. yeah. emma�*s due to finish in london next week, with so many — including prince william — helping pull miles across the country, this mother and her resin horse and now not far from the finishing line. fiona london, bbc news. take and if you�*ve been affected by any of the topics in that report you can you can find organisations offering help and support on the bbc action line website, just search bbc.co.uk/actionline. it is 12 minutes to seven, mike. sometimes the teams can be plunged to the depths of despair and not see

but after the break, step forward, dwight mcneil, with spectacular results. a stunning strike to put the hosts ahead. and that was just the start, as abdoulaye doucoure coolly added a second. suddenly, goodison park was rocking and beto duly rounded off an ultimately emphatic win. everton now out of the bottom three, and for their fans finally something to celebrate. meanwhile, it was a colourful night at tottenham as spurs took an early lead against west ham. cristian romero putting tottenham in front. but come the second half it was all change as jared bowen equalised for west ham, before one of the more bizarre winners you�*ll see. james ward—prowse eventually giving the hammers a 2—1win another. another gift of a goal for west ham united! delight for them, but for spurs another difficult night. andy swift, bbc news.

could have been injured or worse. as it is, a couple of vehicles have been damaged, a couple of windows have been smashed. i�*d encourage anybody with any information about who planted the explosive to contact the police. a brand—new railway station is due to open in london this weekend. brent cross west will have trains connecting the borough of barnet to central london in as little as 12 minutes. as the christmas season is fast approaching, you may be off to see a show. well, a new production of the nutcracker is on at the tuff nutt jazz club at the southbank centre — but it is not the nutcracker as you know it. rather than classical music, this production has a live jazz band. i think nutcracker, for every young person around christmas time, is a huge part of their christmas tradition. and what i wanted to do was i wanted to create a nutcracker that i didn�*t feel like i�*d seen before. and it was a nutcracker that felt like it was accepting and that it was a place

for lots of alternative people to feel like they belonged and actually nutcracker might belong to them. now let�*s get the latest on the travel situation. no trains are running into or out of paddington this morning after the overhead power lines were damaged at ladbroke grove. network rail�*s warning of major disruption until lunchtime. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. a misty start for some of us, especially further towards eastern parts, but today we are looking at a largely dry day with some good spells of sunshine around, although there is the chance of some occasional showers. so a dry start for most of us, then. some sunny spells but during the afternoon we�*ll start to see more in the way of cloud arriving in from the west and with at the chance of the showers, and temperatures holding up at around 9—11 celsius. this evening and overnight, though, thicker cloud will arrive in from the west, and by the end of the night

will start to see some outbreaks of rain arriving in as well. it does take quite mild, though, as temperatures holed up at around 7—8 celsius, becoming breezier, though. we cum so far from over de sea,. and for the start of the weekend it will be quite unsettled. becoming drier and brighter for saturday afternoon, but it does become unsettled once again for sunday, and for the start of next week as well. so a dry day today for the most part but becoming quite wet to start the day on saturday. improving into the afternoon. the chance of some showers again on sunday, and it will gradually become cooler next week. that�*s it from me. i�*m back every half an hour throughout the morning. see you a little later.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. it�*s been revealed the uk has given rwanda an extra £100 million for an asylum deal — on top of 140 million already paid. the ipswich serial killer has been arrested in connection with the unsolved murder of teenager victoria hall in suffolk more than 24 years ago. as a coroner rules an ofsted inspection "contributed" to the death of head teacher ruth perry, we speak to her sister about the changes she wants made to the schools inspection system. saudi arabia�*s sports minister hits

back at claims of "sports washing". he says such claims against the country are "very shallow". we�*ll hear from him shortly, as he defends his country�*s right, we�*ll hear from him shortly, as he defends his country�*s right to host the 2034 world cup. celebrating the people that help planet earth — well hear some amazing stores of hope as the series comes to a close. and whilst there will be a bit more sunshine around today compared with yesterday, there will be some downpours, especially in the west, and this weekend some very windy weather to go with it. i will have all the details here on breakfast. it�*s friday the 8th of december. our main story. the home office has told mps that the uk has given rwanda a further £100 million as part of the government�*s plan to relocate some asylum seekers there. the funding is in addition to the £140 million paid to kigali last year. legal challenges have so far prevented any asylum seekers from being sent to rwanda.

our political correspondent, peter saull, joins us now. good morning. there is extra money. the question — good morning. there is extra money. the question is. _ good morning. there is extra money. the question is, when _ good morning. there is extra money. the question is, when the _ good morning. there is extra money. the question is, when the extra - the question is, when the extra money was paid and exactly what for. yes, the money keeps going up and up and up and, as for the flights to rwanda, the opposite is true. the first batch was spent by the then home secretary priti patel when she announced the policy back in april 2022. £140 million at that stage. in april of this year, the then home secretary suella braverman spent £100 million and then we are told an extra £50 million is due to be spent presumably by the current home secretary james cleverly. presumably by the current home secretaryjames cleverly. in presumably by the current home secretary james cleverly. in all well over a quarter of £1 billion are spent on this policy, i suppose are spent on this policy, i suppose a measure ofjust how important the prime minister thinks that it is. what it is for, that is the question. the home office not going into specifics, but suggestion that

it is for the economic development of rwanda and the former conservative minister rachel mclean suggested there was substantial setup costs. of course we need to give the rwandan government that money so that they can stand up those systems to process people properly. it is important that we fulfil our obligations under international law, where they apply to asylum processing. we haven�*t done any asylum processing. well, they are getting ready for it. we have actually appointed more people there, in rwanda, to process these claims. it's important that we have that infrastructure there. we are also told that no money was offered or handed over to the rwandans as part of the new treaty that was signed by james cleverly and kigali earlier this week but certainly huge questions hanging over this policy. rishi sunak says the only way to get things going is by passing the legislation he announced earlier this week. a lot of his mps are less than convinced it is the right way to go. they will be mulling it over in their

constituencies this weekend, ahead of what promises to be quite a perilous moment for the prime minister when the house of commons votes on its next tuesday.— votes on its next tuesday. indeed, lots are going _ votes on its next tuesday. indeed, lots are going on. _ votes on its next tuesday. indeed, lots are going on. thanks - votes on its next tuesday. indeed, lots are going on. thanks so - votes on its next tuesday. indeed, lots are going on. thanks so much | lots are going on. thanks so much for that. we have asked to speak to a government minister about this issue. tom pursglove, the new minister for legal migration, is doing some broadcast interviews this morning but we were told he wouldn�*t be speaking to breakfast. charlie, there is developments in something in an investigation that has lasted decades. that�*s right. the serial killer steve wright, who was convicted of the murders of five women in ipswich in 2006, has been arrested in connection with the death of 17—year—old victoria hall, who went missing following a night out in felixstowe in september 1999. robert townsend reports. the disappearance of victoria hall in 1999 sparked an extensive police investigation at the time. now, 24 years later, the convicted serial killer steve wright has been arrested

in connection with the case. the bbc understands it�*s the second time he�*s been questioned over victoria�*s death — the first two years ago in 2021. he�*s now been released from police custody, back into prison, under investigation. wright is currently serving a whole—life sentence after he was convicted of murdering five women in ipswich in 2006. at the moment, at this moment in time, the spice girls. 17—year—old victoria was last seen on september the 19th, 1999, in the village of trimley saint mary, close to her family home. she was returning home from an evening out with a female friend at a nightclub in felixstowe. five days later, her body was found by a dog—walker, lying in a roadside ditch 25 miles away. you�*ve got some information that you wanted to release here today. the re—opening of the case four years ago led to a bbc crimewatch appeal, and renewed hope for victoria�*s family. it won't bring victoria back if we find out who did it, but it would ease some of the things that we wonder what happened on that night — why the person

decided to do this — and that would help us in that way to get closure on the event. although, as i said, it wouldn't bring victoria back. you've taken a large - part of our hearts away. at least give us that little bit of closure back. - after more than two decades of questions, it�*s hoped this latest development in the investigation could now lead to some answers. robert townsend, bbc news. the us has criticised israel�*s conduct of the war in southern gaza, saying there�*s a "gap" between promises to protect civilians and the number of people being killed. it comes as images appear to show dozens of palestinian men stripped to their underwear being held by israeli defence forces. our middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us from jerusalem. yolande, these new pictures that

have emerged. talk us through what we have seen and what we know about what has happened. we we have seen and what we know about what has happened.— what has happened. we already knew that israel had _ what has happened. we already knew that israel had detained _ what has happened. we already knew that israel had detained large - that israel had detained large numbers of palestinians during its offensive in gaza but these are really shocking pictures where you can see dozens of palestinian men, forced to sit on the ground and wearing just their underwear, and then they are taken away by military vehicles and what we understand is that this was in the north of the gaza strip. israel has not commented directly that this was in the north of the gaza strip. israel has not commented directly on that this was in the north of the gaza strip. israel has not commented directly on what that this was in the north of the gaza strip. israel has not commented directly on what happened that this was in the north of the gaza strip. israel has not commented directly on what happened here that this was in the north of the gaza strip. israel has not commented directly on what happened here but says it detained people as terrorism suspects, takes them away for interrogation. palestinians are saying these images really show the level of savagery that is going on here. really, this coming against the background and now of the strongest public criticism of israel�*s operation in the south of the gaza strip that we have had from the gaza strip that we have had from the us, really, since that operation

began meaningfully a week ago. the us secretary of state anthony blinken came out after his meeting with the foreign secretary lord cameron and said there was this gap between israel�*s declared intentions and what is being seen now on the ground. of course, after the big offensive in the north of the gaza strip, the us had asked israel to minimise the harm to the civilians in the south, with so many people having already been forcibly displaced from the north to the south of gaza, and yet, although israel says it is minimising the harm to civilians, it�*s been much more targeted in its evacuation orders. what we have seen in recent days as hundreds more palestinians being killed, very high numbers of people wounded, as well. all of this adding to the increased international pressure on israel that we are seeing at the un security council with countries are due to vote later on a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. acute pressure from the

secretary—general who has called for that. we expect the us to veto that resolution but it does show there is more pressure on israel, really, to wind things up in gaza. it has one sooner rather than later.- wind things up in gaza. it has one sooner rather than later. president biden�*s son, hunter biden, has been charged with tax evasion. prosecutors say he took part in a scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million — that�*s around £1.1 million. if convicted, he faces up to 17 years in prison. the police watchdog has warned that forces don�*t fully understand the scale and nature of crimes committed by gangs of men who groom children for sexual abuse. in a review of cases, his majesty�*s inspectorate of police, fire and rescue services found data collection was "unreliable" and intelligence gathering "wasn�*t prioritised". hundreds of oxfam staff in the uk will go on strike today for the first time in the charity�*s 81—year history. last—ditch talks between 0xfam and the unite union failed to produce an agreement to avoid industrial action. about 200 shops will be affected.

rail passengers in london were left stuck on trains for hours without power last night, after damage to overhead cables blocked routes to and from paddington station. trains on the elizabeth line, great western railway and the heathrow express were all brought to a standstill. network rail has warned of major disruption until lunchtime. the funeral of the singer—songwriter shane macgowan is taking place in ireland today. the musician, who was best known for fronting the pogues, died last week at the age of 65. our ireland correspondent chris page is in nenagh this morning. good morning. give a sense of the scale of the occasion.— scale of the occasion. yes, people in ireland scale of the occasion. yes, people in lreland and _ scale of the occasion. yes, people in ireland and around _ scale of the occasion. yes, people in ireland and around the - scale of the occasion. yes, people in ireland and around the world i scale of the occasion. yes, peoplel in ireland and around the world will be paying tribute today to one of this country�*s greatest ever cultural icons. the church service,

our education editor branwen jeffreys reports. ruth perry took her life injanuary, waiting for an ofsted report to be published. caversham primary school was to go from outstanding to inadequate. over two months, she had become a shadow of her former self. "i wake from restless sleep absolutely panic—stricken. 40 days are taking their toll on my skin and my nails. my stomach is wasting away." she sighs. mm. after ruth died, her sisterjulia found handwritten notes. ruth perry feared losing herjob, shame and humiliation. julia and ruth had gone to the school as children. ruth perry was tormented by the thought she�*d

let the community down. from the start, the family said ruth�*s desperate mental state was linked to the inspection. ofsted disagreed. i think the findings were secure, and i think the inspection team worked with the professionalism and sensitivity that i would expect from our inspectors. the coroner said the inspection lacked fairness, respect and sensitivity, and was at times rude and intimidating. ofsted has now apologised for the distress caused to mrs perry by the inspection, adding more changes will be made to address the coroner�*s concerns. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. we�*re joined now by ruth�*s sister, julia waters. good morning to you. good morning.

we heard dat de streets were paved wid gold. he was the poet who rarely wrote anything down. for benjamin zephaniah words were there to be spoken. i love her and she love me too and dis is a love i know is true. i talk to you, yeah, you know who. me and my mother, we love you too. applause but he took his words into battle, fighting against social injustice and against the racism he encountered growing up in aston in birmingham. kid came behind me on a bicycle, and as he rode past he had a brick in his hand and he slapped the back of my head. and as he did it, he said, "go home, you blac i felt really kind of lonely, i felt i was, like, the only person in the world that this happened to. but then i realised that it was happening to other people. he was that iconic figure that, you know, you see this chap there, you know exactly who is. but importantly as well, you knew what he stood for, and that's the thing. and this is why, you know, his loss is a great loss

to not just our city but to our country. diagnosed with a brain tumour eight weeks ago, benjamin zephaniah died in hospital in nottingham early this morning. "we shared him with the world," said his family. fellow poet martin glynn shared a stage with him dozens of times. he was with him in 2003 when benjamin famously rejected an obe because of the links between empire and slavery. the vitriolic response to when he turned it down was massive. so, for me, my memory of benjamin is, yeah, as a poet, as an artist, but he had massive integrity. and i suppose really when we see our icons, we think they're going to live forever. and i think that's the biggest shock. that's the status that benjamin had. be nice to your turkeys this christmas because turkeys just want to have fun. he regularly visited children at acorns hospices, campaigning to keep open their premises in walsall when threatened with closure. what we'll miss is that real down—to—earth i opportunity for him to sit with children inside our hospices

and bring joy through reading i and through speaking - and being the larger than life character that he is. and so we will miss him terribly. we are gathered here today to join together in holy matrimony... he was very much loved. within one week, you could see benjamin on peaky blinders and he'd be interviewed on a radio show and you might see him on the bbc talking about politics. so you never knew where he would kind of crop up. he called out life�*s iniquities, hoping all the while for something better. we just believed that in the end good will overcome evil. i see a time when the curry will blend with the shepherd�*s pie. i see a time when all over this blessed country of ours black people will play golf. and he did it all with a wry and knowing smile.

the wonderful benjamin zephaniah who are sadly passed away. still to come on breakfast... kevin sinfield has completed his seven ultra marathons in seven days in seven cities to raise money for those affected by motor neurone disease. this is how he was feeling as it ended. i willjust keep going. it is myjob to run. we took it back to the start, we went on a run as mates for a mate. that is what this still is. even though it has grown it has become much bigger than that in its simplest one that is what this will always be and the minute it stops being fun then we will find something else to do. by the minute i cannot run any more.— i cannot run any more. finishing yesterday _ i cannot run any more. finishing yesterday in _ i cannot run any more. finishing yesterday in london. _ i cannot run any more. finishing yesterday in london. today - i cannot run any more. finishing yesterday in london. today is i i cannot run any more. finishing yesterday in london. today is at last the rest day. for yesterday in london. today is at last the rest day.— time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. you�*re watching bbc london — i�*m frankie mccamley.

police are appealing for information after an explosive device was used to destroy a ulez camera in south—east london. emergency services were called to the scene at willersley avenue in sidcup on wednesday evening. nobody was injured, but shrapnel did damage a number of nearby buildings and vehicles. unfortunately, it appears that somebody has used an explosive device on one of the ulez cameras. the area affected by the explosion is more than 100 meters. but for the grace of god somebody could have been injured, or worse. as it is, a couple of vehicles have been damaged, a couple of windows have been smashed. i�*d encourage anybody with any information about who planted the explosive to contact the police. no trains are running into or out of paddington this morning after the overhead power lines were damaged at ladbroke grove. last night some passengers were left stuck on trains for hours without power. the elizabeth line, great western

and heathrow express services are all affected and there�*s warnings of major disruption until lunchtime. as the christmas season is fast approaching you may be off to see a show. well, a new production of the nutcracker is on at the tuff nut jazz club at the southbank centre — but it is not the nutcracker as you know it. rather than classical music this production has a live jazz band. rather than classical music this production has a live jazz band. i think nutcracker, for every young person around christmas time, is a huge part of their christmas tradition. and what i wanted to do was i wanted to create a nutcracker that i didn�*t feel like i�*d seen before. and it was a nutcracker that felt like it was accepting and that it was a place for lots of alternative people to feel like they belonged and that actually nutcracker might belong to them. looks like fun, doesn�*t it? now let�*s get the latest on the tubes.

those problems at paddington are having an affect on the circle, district and elizabeth line — so do check before you travel. and also on the central line now. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. a misty start for some of us, especially further towards eastern parts, but today we are looking at a largely dry day with some good spells of sunshine around, although there is the chance of some occasional showers. so a dry start for most of us, then. some sunny spells but during the afternoon we�*ll start to see more in the way of cloud arriving in from the west and with at the chance of the showers, and temperatures holding up at around 9—11 celsius. this evening and overnight, though, thicker cloud will arrive in from the west, and by the end of the night we�*ll start to see some outbreaks of rain arriving in as well. it does stay quite mild, though, as temperatures hold up at around 7—8 celsius, becoming breezier, though. and for the start of the weekend it

will be quite unsettled. becoming drier and brighter for saturday afternoon, but it does become unsettled once again for sunday, and for the start of next week as well. so a dry day today for the most part but becoming quite wet to start the day on saturday, improving into the afternoon. the chance of some showers again on sunday, and it will gradually become cooler next week. that�*s it from me for now. back to naga and charlie. see you at eight. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. mike is with his other sofa. it has become more and more of an issue, the crossover between politics, sport, moralvalues the crossover between politics, sport, moral values and decisions about where sport is played and who is involved? the about where sport is played and who is involved? . about where sport is played and who is involved?— about where sport is played and who is involved? . ., ., , is involved? the influence of money, the nower is involved? the influence of money, the power of — is involved? the influence of money, the power of money, _ is involved? the influence of money, the power of money, in _ is involved? the influence of money, the power of money, in particular- the power of money, in particular talking about saudi arabia because of its growing influence on the world stage, whether football, of its growing influence on the world stage, whetherfootball, golf or boxing. it has really become the hub for major international boxing contests. of course it is coming under increasing scrutiny as well because of how it sits alongside all of the human rights issues in saudi

arabia, and the environmental impact as well. we have a special report on this this morning. the saudi arabian sports minister has indeed been defending their right to host the 2034 world cup, and their growing influence on world sport. our sports editor dan roan has been in the country, accompanied by saudi ministry of sport officials, finding out more. formerfootball league lowering some of the biggest names in the game and the hosting of golf to the takeover of the biggest fights, saudi arabia has spent billions of pounds changing the sporting landscape and with the country now set to host the world cup in 2034 the man overseeing this sporting revolution told me what lay behind the investment. fiur sporting revolution told me what lay behind the investment.— sporting revolution told me what lay behind the investment. our intent is to host the best _ behind the investment. our intent is to host the best event _ behind the investment. our intent is to host the best event around - behind the investment. our intent is to host the best event around the i to host the best event around the world, for the people in the kingdom to see but also to invite the world to see but also to invite the world to the kingdom. d0 to see but also to invite the world to the kingdom.— to see but also to invite the world to the kingdom. do you want to be the world number— to the kingdom. do you want to be the world number one _ to the kingdom. do you want to be the world number one superpower| to the kingdom. do you want to be l the world number one superpower in the world number one superpower in the world? i the world number one superpower in the world? ., �* , ., , the world? i don't see it as competing _ the world? i don't see it as competing with _ the world? i don't see it as

for breaching financial rules. that record punishment plunged them deep into the bottom three, but the sense of injustice has clearly galvanised them, typified by the surging run and finish from dwight mcneil, who opened the scoring against high flying newcastle. this was everton�*s second win on the trot and a really convincing one, as beto made it 3—0, just before the end, with sean dyche�*s team now out of the drop zone, and he�*s bee praising his team�*s togetherness in the face of adversity. you forget we'd be in an amazing position now points—wise if it wasn't for them ten. 20 points would be an amazing return, you know, relative to the last two seasons here. so i haven't lost sight of that. we'll see what the appeal brings, but the mentality is key for me. we took a knock, we know that, but there have been a lot of knocks here over the last couple of seasons. but the mentality has been growing and growing, the team mentality. i can't emphasise it enough. the commitment to each other now,

the connection to each other, that's a really powerful thing, because i know we've got quality but the belief in each other, it's growing and it's sticking, and that's important. west ham came from a goal down to stun tottenham, winning 2—1. an awful defensive error left james ward—prowse to — eventually — score the winner. that�*s five games in a row that spurs have dropped points from a winning position. west ham manager david moyes said it was one of the biggest wins he�*d had in football. a letter signed by 75 mps and peers is calling for the football association to ban those who were born male from playing in women�*s teams. current fa policy on trans people in football states, "gender identity should not be a barrier to participation" and those who wish to play are judged on a case—by—case basis. last month a number of teams pulled out of a yorkshire women�*s league after a player was reportedly left with a serious knee injury after blocking a shot from a trans woman. o nto onto snooker. shaun murphy has made the first maximum 147 break at the snooker shoot out since its inception in 2011. this tournament differs slightly from traditional snooker events, with a time restriction on each shot and frames lasting no more than ten minutes.

murphy also achieved the feat in his first—round match in swansea. the previous highest break made in this competition was a 142 by mark allen, who called murphy�*s 147 "simply ridiculous". next to another big moment in golf, as a huge name, masters championjohn rahm, has now switched to the controversial liv golf tour for next season. it�*s a major u—turn for rahm, who had refused tojoin the breakaway set—up and was criticial when plans were announced for a partnership between liv and the existing tour in the united states. he admitted money was a factor — he�*s reportedly set to earn upwards of £450 million as part of the deal. it started with saudi arabia money, ended with saudi arabia money! yes, interesting, isn�*t it, mike? thank you very much. a little later in this half hour we will be talking to the people behind the last planet

earth episode, airing on sunday night, and one of the issues obviously covered is how the climate, globalwarming, has been affecting nature, and we have also been covering cop in recent weeks. i think you have some latest news, as well as the weather, matt, on the whole idea that the temperature shouldn�*t exceed 1.5 celsius, and the met office has been taking a look at that. that was the paris agreement, wasn�*t it? it was indeed. yes, already this year is certain to be one of the hottest year on record, if not the hottest year on record, if not the hottest year on record. the met office has announced this morning next year could be hotter still and the key threshold set out in the paris agreement of 1.5 celsius, the global temperature, above preindustrial levels, 1.5 celsius above preindustrial levels, it could be temporarily broken. forecasts have suggested those temperatures will rise further next year, and part of this is due to the natural weather phenomenon on the el nino

pattern which warms the globe naturally but they say the main driver is still human induced warming behind those record—breaking computers. if i show you, global temperatures since the year 2000 right through to now, you can notice that warming trend. 2016 at the moment is the warmest year on record. this year we are likely to exceed that and next year�*s forecast pursues that higher, potentially getting above that 1.5 degrees trend. —— pushes that higher. this is a key threshold in all of the negotiations going on at cop right now. that is globally. let�*s bring it back to the uk. after that very cold start to the week we have finished on a warmer note than we have. lots of renter yesterday. for us to date, that rain is much more showery. there will be more sunshine around, especially towards the south and east of the country. yesterday�*s ren is this whole sweep of cloud, lingering across orkney and shetland to today with some strong winds. another batch of cloud where we will see some of the longer spells of

forward to every year, maybe it�*s a visit to see santa, or putting the decorations up, maybe others. what about a tractor festooned in christmas lights? everybody loves tractors. to be honest, it is daylight now so we are not getting the full effect. that one on the right has a very beautiful display. anyway, they are here in salford quays outside our studios and we will bring you more and explain what is going on with them as well. for them, find out what is happening where you are. we will see you very shortly. hello, good morning, you�*re watching bbc london — i�*m frankie mccamley. police are appealing for information after an explosive device was used to destroy a ulez camera in south—east london. emergency services were called to the scene at willersley avenue in sidcup on wednesday evening. nobody was injured, but shrapnel did damage a number of nearby buildings and vehicles. unfortunately, it appears that somebody has used an explosive

device on one of the ulez cameras. the area affected by the explosion is more than 100 meters. but for the grace of god somebody could have been injured or worse. as it is, a couple of vehicles have been damaged, a couple of windows have been smashed. i�*d encourage anybody with any information about who planted the explosive to contact the police. no trains are running into or out of paddington this morning after the overhead power lines were damaged at ladbroke grove. last night some passengers were left stuck on trains for hours for hours without power. the elizabeth line, great western and heathrow express services are all affected and there�*s warnings of major disruption until lunchtime. now let�*s get the latest on the tubes. now onto the weather. a few scattered showers with plenty of cloud around — highs of 11.

that�*s it from me. see you in half an hour. bye— bye good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. it�*s been revealed the uk has given rwanda an extra £100 million for an asylum deal — on top of 140 million already paid. the ipswich serial killer has been arrested in connection with the unsolved murder of teenager victoria hall in suffolk more than 24 years ago.

good morning. is it about time loyalty paid? one consumer lawyer thinks so — and claims mobile phone companies owe millions of us more than £3 billion. i�*ll have the details. a massive statement from everton — less than a month after a ten—point deduction plunged them deep into trouble, they beat high—flying newcastle to move out of the bottom three, fired up by a sense of injustice. and kevin sinfield comes to the end of his incredible challenge for mnd — he�*s run seven ultra marathons in seven days in seven cities across the uk. plus, a bit more sunshine in the forecast today but still some showers around and more rain at times this weekend, coupled with some very strong winds. i will have the details. it�*s friday the 8th of december. the home office has told mps that the uk has given rwanda

a further £100 million as part of the government�*s plan to relocate some asylum seekers there. the funding is in addition to the £140 million paid to kigali last year. legal challenges have so far prevented any asylum seekers from being sent to rwanda. our political correspondent peter saulljoins us now. this extra money, it has just come to light now because the figure we had was 140 million in our minds. obviously the prime minister has been talking about the treaty. the money now, explain where it has been spent, when it has been spent. that�*s right. another rising bill for a policy that is still theoretical, really. it started in april 2022 with that then home secretary priti patel pledging 140 million to kigali, then in april of

this year but then home secretary suella braverman spent an extra 100, and then we are expecting a further 50 million to be spent next year, as well. why is the government spending so much taxpayers cash? labour says it can�*t keep writing blank cheques for what it believes is a total farce of a policy. the newly appointed legal migration policy, this isn�*t strictly his brief because the rwanda policies to deal with what the government refers to as illegal migration but anyway, he is saying this is an economic partnership with rwanda as well as eight migration one. it is about helping the rwandan economy to grow. he has also talked about setup costs for that. clearly they need to make sure the policy will work to satisfy the courts. but, yes, still very much up in the air with legal challenges and political hurdles to overcome. tom pursglove has also

said this morning that the government does not rule out potentially making some changes to the legislation that was announced by rishi sunak a couple of days ago to get that policy moving. he insists, the prime minister, that this is the right plan but there are real concerns in the various wings of the conservative party about it. they say they are in listening mode. i�*m sure the prime minister will be on the blower to his mps over the weekend to try to convince them. he has got moderate tory mps who are worried about the idea that the parliament can blanket let declarer wonder is a safe country while those on the right of the think they should go further in disapplying law. a real crunch vote on tuesday in the house of commons with questions being raised about his leadership. questions being raised about his leadershin. . .. questions being raised about his leadership-— questions being raised about his leadershin. . ~' , ., , . leadership. thank you very much. peter saull- _ we asked to speak to a government minister about this issue. tom pursglove, the new minister

for legal migration, is doing some broadcast interviews this morning including several television outlets, but downing street told us he wouldn�*t speak to breakfast. charlie, you are taking a look at a case which has been decades long and some resolution coming to light. the serial killer steve wright, who was convicted of the murders of five women in ipswich in 2006, has been arrested in connection with the death of 17—year—old victoria hall, who went missing following a night out in felixstowe in september 1999. robert townsend reports. the disappearance of victoria hall in 1999 sparked an extensive police investigation at the time. now, 24 years later, the convicted serial killer steve wright has been arrested in connection with the case. the bbc understands it�*s the second time he�*s been questioned over victoria�*s death — the first two years ago in 2021. he�*s now been released from police

custody, back into prison, under investigation. wright is currently serving a whole—life sentence after he was convicted of murdering five women in ipswich in 2006. at the moment, at this moment in time, the spice girls. 17—year—old victoria was last seen on september the 19th, 1999, in the village of trimley saint mary, close to her family home. she was returning home from an evening out with a female friend at a nightclub in felixstowe. five days later, her body was found by a dog—walker, lying in a roadside ditch 25 miles away. you�*ve got some information that you wanted to release here today. the re—opening of the case four years ago led to a bbc crimewatch appeal, and renewed hope for victoria�*s family. it won't bring victoria back if we find out who did it, but it would ease some of the things that we wonder what happened on that night — why the person decided to do this — and that would help us in that way

to get closure on the event. although, as i said, it wouldn't bring victoria back. you've taken a large - part of our hearts away. at least give us that little bit of closure back. - after more than two decades of questions, it�*s hoped this latest development in the investigation could now lead to some answers. robert townsend, bbc news. our reporter alex dunlop has been following the case and joins us now from the village of trimley saint mary. good morning. it is worth reminding ourselves that this is a story that dates back to 1999.— ourselves that this is a story that dates back to 1999. yes, this is a hu . el dates back to 1999. yes, this is a hugely significant _ dates back to 1999. yes, this is a hugely significant development i dates back to 1999. yes, this is a - hugely significant development when you bear in mind this was effectively a cold case for the best part of two decades. as you have heard, steve wright was questioned twice by police now in the last 18 months in connection with the murder of victoria hall. we understand that

he was not one of those originally questioned by police when the case first opened back in 1999. just to give you a sense of geography here, i�*m standing on the geography of a faultless way and the high road. this is where victoria hall was last seen alive on sunday, the early hours of sunday on the 19th of september 1999. hours of sunday on the 19th of september1999. she hours of sunday on the 19th of september 1999. she had been to a nearby felixstowe with a friend, a female friend, they went to a nightclub then grabbed a takeaway, and then walked home in the early hours of sunday. it is about two, 2.5 mile walk. they parted company near thisjunction and 2.5 mile walk. they parted company near this junction and friends told police at the time that she recalled hearing a scream as she walked away and the sound of a car but at the time didn�*t think much of it. five days later, doug walker came across victoria�*s naked body in a ditch about 25 miles away will stop

significantly, four years ago, police reopened the case. they have new witnesses coming forward, fresh cctv and they reopened the case with a new set of detectives and that was significant and then they questioned steve wright in 2021 and again in 2023. �* ., ~ , ., the us has criticised israel�*s conduct of the war in southern gaza, saying there�*s a "gap" between promises to protect civilians and the number of people being killed. it comes as images appear to show dozens of palestinian men stripped to their underwear, being held by israeli defence forces. our middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us from jerusalem. good morning to you. talk us through these latest images.— these latest images. well, we knew already that — these latest images. well, we knew already that israel _ these latest images. well, we knew already that israel had _ these latest images. well, we knew already that israel had detained - already that israel had detained large members of palestinians since the war in gaza began but these and

footage that has emerged, as well, that show dozens of palestinian men forced to strip to their underwear, crouching in the streets, before they are taken away in military vehicles. we have located these images to the north of the gaza strip and we are told that this followed a raid an israeli raid on a un school where people had been taking shelter. israel has not commented directly but it said that it detains terror suspects, takes away for interrogation. palestinians say these ima-es away for interrogation. palestinians say these ima-es show away for interrogation. palestinians say these ima -es show the away for interrogation. palestinians say these images show the scale away for interrogation. palestinians say these images show the scale of the savagery of what is going on. we know that one of the detainees is a journalist, a man who had been sheltering in that school. he works for a london based arab newspaper. now, another big development overnight where these comments from the us, the strongest criticism we have had yet from the us about israel�*s latest conduct of this stage of the war in the south of the

gaza strip. the us secretary of state anthony blinken saying there is a gap between israel�*s declared intentions and what has been happening on the ground. israel says it is seeking more actively in this stage of the war to reduce the number of civilian casualties, the numbers of people who have been forced to be displaced from their homes. but we have seen in recent days hundreds more palestinians being killed. tens of thousands of people on the move. this is the backdrop, really, for the un security council to meet later to vote on a resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire, an immediate ceasefire. we expect the us to veto that but it shows there is growing international pressure on israel. yolande, thank you very much. president biden�*s son, hunter biden, has been charged with tax evasion. prosecutors say he took part in a scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million — that�*s around £1.1 million. if convicted, he faces up to 17 years in prison. hundreds of oxfam staff in the uk

it's infectious enthusiasm. you set off and you're not running, oryou're not a runner and you suddenly think, "do you know what? i'll do the whole lot." how long did that feeling last for? er...i went on an extra half mile beyond the mile. he's on three—and—a—half—hour pace for a marathon. i've done a half, i've never done a full, and itjust makes me admire the human being even more than i already did — if that was possible. it's quite incredible, what he's done. from the green space and fresh air... 0k, folks, roll up. come and see kevin sinfield running i the last leg of his ultramarathon. i ..into the city. this was sinfeld monopoly, as he ticked off the london landmarks. at the tower of london, he was cheered on by the yeoman warders — the beefeaters who guard the crown jewels now supporting a national treasure.

what he does is just unreal. i know he�*s... but to do time after time after time... yeah, i know he�*s got — because of rob and everything — but the whole big picture and the word, it spreads. it�*s not the warmest at the moment, but still he�*s out there, plodding along the roads — magnificent effort. running across tower bridge, he told me he was tired. go figure! what�*s the weather been like? yeah, it�*s been ok. hasit? yeah. it�*s cold... yeah. ..as you can see, but it�*s got far worse. this was his 50th marathon — but his seventh this week. getting bored of them yet? yeah. i�*m going to hang the boots up. laughter. are you? well, not quite! whoa. as the team dodged the traffic and the tourists, notice how

the former great britain rugby international spots space, and the bang—average schoolboy playerjust runs into a wall of people. but the walls became a tunnel as they lined the end of the mall. with buckingham palace ahead, the king of the endurance challenges had completed his latest epic. cheering hugs for the team — all volunteers who�*ve taken time off work to make this possible. we're all pretty shot, we're all pretty tired but... having seen so many faces along the route — some faces that we'd seen at some of the cities we've been at, actually... it was a massive lift for us all, so... you all know why we're here. hopefully we sent the right message out. the mnd community's a beautiful community and it needs all of us, and it needs all of us to keep fighting. the awareness we've generated this week has been enormous again, and in rob's name... the fundraising is so important. we tried to push this morning how important the money is, cos that's the thing that's going to shift the dial for us — that's the thing that's going to get us a cure.

it's also the thing that's going to make sure your families are looked after properly. if there's one thing you leave today with, from our team, it's that. have a great christmas, but spare a thought for those who are a bit less fortunate for us. and if you can help, if you can pick up the phone, please do it. thank you. cheering what do you think about when it gets dark and hard and quiet and...slogging away? 0h, ijust keep going. like i said, it's myjob to run. again, i took it right back to the start — we went on a run for a mate with some mates and that's what this is still. you know, even though it's grown and it's become much bigger than that — in its simplest form, that's what this will always be. and the minute it stops being fun, then we'll find something else to do.

or the minute i can't run any more. this was his fourth challenge. he joked that rocky iv was one of his favourite films. rocky v in a bit? rocky v? er, i think fast & furious five were pretty good. crosstalk we'll see, we'll see. he says he�*ll run while he still can, for those who can�*t — giving a voice to people who, through the cruelty of motor neurone disease, can struggle to be heard. this was a week to be loud and very proud. john maguire, bbc news, london. mike, isuppose mike, i suppose the obvious pick up from that achievement, highs and lows, get knocked down, get picked up. but i the chumbawamba song, in

the 1990s, wasn�*t it? all about getting knocked down and back up. everton have done just that. just three weeks after they were plunged deep, into the relegation zone with a 10—point deduction, everton are now out of it — they�*re flying in the face of adversity, while also last night, tottenham let a lead slip again, as they were beaten by west ham. they still have their appeal of course to be heard. andy swiss reports, starting with everton�*s renaissance. after weeks of fury for everton fans, a night of celebration. out of the relegation zone amid some drama. booing before kick—off, they booed the premier league anthem, still seething at their club�*s recent ten—point penalty. and against newcastle that

frustration didn�*t look like easing. calvert—lewin�*s blazed it over the bar. dominic calvert—lewin with a glorious chance to put them ahead. and didn�*t he just know it? but after the break, step forward, dwight mcneil, with spectacular results. a stunning strike to put the hosts ahead. and that was just the start, as abdoulaye doucoure coolly added a second. suddenly, goodison park was rocking and beto duly rounded off an ultimately emphatic win. everton now out of the bottom three, and for their fans finally something to celebrate. meanwhile, it was a colourful night at tottenham as spurs took an early lead against west ham. cristian romero putting tottenham in front. but come the second half it was all change as jared bowen equalised for west ham, before one of the more bizarre winners you�*ll see. james ward—prowse eventually giving the hammers a 2—1win another. another gift of a goal for west ham united! delight for them, but for spurs another difficult night.

andy swift, bbc news. now in rugby union, the british and irish lions say they want to send the squad off to australia on a high, after confirming the team, will play in ireland for the first time in 2025. this is where they�*ll play, at the aviva stadium, in dublin, against argentina, before they head down under, for a three—match test series. the lions beat japan at murrayfield, before their last tour in 2021. the lure of the money has proved too much again in golf. —— in golf this time. masters champion john rahm, who has now switched

to the controversial, liv golf tour for next season. it�*s a major u—turn for rahm, who had refused tojoin the breakaway set—up and was criticial of plans when they were announced for a partnership between liv and the existing tour in the united states. he admitted money was a factor — he�*s reportedly, set to earn upwards, of 450—million pounds, as part of the deal. -- 459 —— 459 p. he had commented that he didn�*t need that money as well. —— £450 million. the funeral of singer—songwriter shane macgowan, best known as the lead singer of the pogues, will take place in ireland later today. chris page is in nenagh, where the church service will take place — but first, sara girvin joins us from dublin, where crowds are expected to line the streets for the funeral procession. yes proceedings to get under way here in the south of the city. in

# his most famous song is now synonymous with this time of year — the fairytale of new york by the pogues and kirsty maccoll was recorded in the band�*s heyday in the 1980s. # they've got cars big as bars # they've got rivers of gold # but the wind goes right through you # it's no place for the old # when you first took my hand on a cold christmas eve # you promised me broadway was waiting for me... # as i wander down the long lonesome highway... # shane macgowan�*s career was affected by problems with drugs and alcohol, but his music�*s been praised across the world. today, thousands of people are expected to line the streets of south dublin for a funeral procession. then the singer�*s coffin will be driven to tipperary for a service in this church in nenagh. # i kissed my girl by the factory wall...

# people are walking around the town centre of nenagh to the tune of music by the pogues playing out over speakers. everyone seems to be really proud of the role this place played in the life of one of ireland�*s greatest—ever cultural icons. he was a nice man and great talent, you know? he was... in some ways his life was sad and in some ways it wasjoyous, you know? but he obviously had a wonderful wife who looked after him very well, but... i�*m delighted to hear his music being played today. it�*s really very cheering, you know. it�*s sadness for his family, all right, you know. i'm very sad. he was very important to me back in the '805 — i lived in london then. and i'm actually going to his funeral tomorrow — i came out to check out parking and so on here. yeah, so... he's a sort of a national institution, you know? and he really kind of captured something about that experience of being betwixt and between being irish and english or english and irish and so on. he caught that in, i think, a very beautiful way, a very poetic way.

and i thank him for that. it was really fantastic. great to give him a good send—off and it's lovely that the town - are celebrating his life. and yeah, so it'll be - lovely to have the funeral through his home town. this was an area that meant a lot to him, clearly, and people here thought a lot of him. definitely, yeah. yeah, was very popular in the area. he contributed a lot to music. it�*s great to give him a good send—off. i play my music myself, but we all look up to shane macgowan. we always will. his family have said they hope to give people who admired shane macgowan the chance to wish him godspeed. this will be a day to remember a unique radical artist. i think this will be one of the most significant funerals held in ireland for some years. shane macgowan has left a remarkable musical legacy.

the weather here in nenagh, pretty rainy, but that will not put off many thousands of people turning out to pay their last respects already. to pay their last respects already this morning i have been hearing people coming from well beyond ireland to be here for what they regard as a very special occasion. that most best—known song of shane macgowan�*s, the fairytale of new york, neveractually macgowan�*s, the fairytale of new york, never actually made it to christmas number one. when it was released in 1987 it wasjust christmas number one. when it was released in 1987 it was just beaten to the tops, made number two matt, but shooting up the charts as it does every december and the singer plus my family have said if it makes it to the festive top spot this year, which it may well do, that would be another wonderful accolade for this remarkable creative talent. studio: it also shows the power of music, chris, doesn�*t it? it�*s never, everfades. chris, thank you, foreigners in nenagh. it is the time

—— for was in nenagh. it is 8.48. here�*s matt with a look at this morning�*s weather. scenes from yesterday across the south—west of england where pat�*s tones to regulars. lots of waterlogged fields at the moment and rivers running pretty high —— where past turned into rivers. you can keep up—to—date on the bbc weather website and on the app as well. understandable, the second wettest day on record for aberdeen yesterday and are now in a half�*s rain in the south—west. further rain only tops up south—west. further rain only tops up those rivers and causes for the risk of flooding and there will be more around this weekend. today a little bit of a respite for some of you. it will stay reasonably dry with some sunny spells but there will be quite a few shower surround, particularly across the western half of the country. a bit of an alternating pattern. this is the cloud from yesterday and this is what will bring the persistent rain through tomorrow in between the gaps but the showery clouds will bring

maybe longer spells of rain at times for northern ireland in south—western scotland. frequent showers in northern england, wales, may be in the south—west odd rumble of thunder but in southern and eastern parts of and after a misty and foggy starts and will have a largely dry day. sunny spells with or odd shower later. north—western scotland should stay dry and bright throughout but the north—east around orkney and shetland, the rain we had yesterday here and we will see strong winds gusting up to 70 miles an hour. it will feel quite chilly in the wind but elsewhere we will finish the week on a much mail note than started, temperature is above average for this time of year. 39 still some rain coming and going but later on we will start to see the more persistent rain arriving to the south. any gaps in between, with clear skies we could see mist in fog patches and temperatures into low single figures but a mild start certainly across the south. if you have planned this weekend factor rain in at some point. a complete wash—out but through the later stage of saturday strong winds could

feature, and a blustery day for england, wales and northern ireland. a wet start across the south and south—west. brighter here later so a better second half of the day but fairly blustery. the rain pushes into southern england, northern ireland and southern scotland. the wettest conditions in northern ireland. western scotland still feeling all right and 14 degrees possible in the south—east but it will be windy. into the evening and overnight we are seeing the rain slide southwards and really from afternoon on which the risk of widespread deals for england, wales and northern ireland but we have to watch for potential damaging winds —— widespread deals. this could work its way across the country as we go to the second half of saturday into saturday night before clearing its way eastwards and then sunday, you know it. more rain to come. after a bright start it will turn progressively wetter from the south and the west. naga, china, back to you. thanks so much. to enjoy the rest of your weekend. see you

tomorrow —— naga, charlie, back to you. he is gone. ok, 8.51 is the time. a lot of people packed into manchester yesterday because there was a big fashion event. the french luxury brand chanel created a cat walking the street scenario. —— catwalk in the street scenario. the event had been shrouded in secrecy, with parts of the city closed off for weeks. the fashion house said it chose manchester because of its pop culture and textile history. here�*s our culture reporter, charlotte gallagher. high fashion and a manchester high street. the legendary french fashion label chanel has taken over the city centre. models, celebrities... hi, there! ..and the children of manchester icons liam and noel gallagher filled the front row of the chanel fashion show. even a—list actors couldn�*t keep away. are you enjoying the weather? yeah, lam.

i've been walking around in the rain all day. - it was fine. no, it's so good, and i'm telling you, it's, like, - it is such an iconic place for me i and i've been dreaming to come. the show celebrated not just fashion, but also the music of manchester. the rapper and actor bugzy malone came dressed for the occasion. we have the jacket, the watch, the trainers. and i'm very serious about this chanel thing right now. and the necklace, is that chanel, as well? yeah, yeah. so you�*re manchester, obviously. born and bred. so what does it feel like to be a chanel show in manchester? you�*re one of the guest of honour. you�*re one of the guests of honour. by the way, it's a real privilege just to have chanel in manchester, you know? so to be here to witness it — amazing. i've had a great time. to be honest, it's a big deal, by the way. everybody's talking about it. i think it's great, i think it's great for manchester. i hear they're thinking about opening another store here — i think that'd be great. you be first in the queue, yeah? i'd actually sleep

outside the store! laughter people who didn�*t have a ticket also wanted to see what was going on. obviously, there�*s a nod to the weather... in fact, the crowds gathered in the rain all day, wondering which celebrities would arrive. so why did chanel choose manchester? and that�*s a history that is political, it�*s social, but also, of course, linked to fashion and textiles. so in this area where we are in the northern quarter, a lot of these buildings would have been warehouses, they would have been centres of production of cotton. in the 19th century, manchester was called cottonopolis. the show has also attracted well—known fashion journalists. i think it's pretty smart of them to think of coming to manchester. not that i've got anything against it but, you know, it's not the main city, it's not london — it's something with a character of its own. and why not? and why not look at the next generation? manchester—born supermodel karen elson took part in the show, and models weren�*tjust on the catwalk — they were in the audience, too. really epitomised the spirit and creativity. of manchester and the north.

yeah, it's been amazing. the show may be over, but the party here — well, that�*s just begun. charlotte gallagher, bbc news, manchester. six minutes to nine is the time. tributes from across the world have been paid to poet, writer and actor professor benjamin zephaniah, who has died at the age of 65. he was diagnosed with a brain tumour eight weeks ago. his family said he "leaves us with a joyful and fantastic legacy of works". giles latcham has been looking back at his life. i luv me mudder an me mudder luvs me. we cum so far from over de sea. we heard dat de streets were paved wid gold. he was the poet who rarely wrote anything down. for benjamin zephaniah, words were there to be spoken.

i love her and she love me too and dis is a love i know is true. i talk to you, yeah, you know who. me and my mother, we love you too. applause but he took his words into battle, fighting against social injustice and against the racism he encountered growing up in aston in birmingham. kid came behind me on a bicycle, and as he rode past he had a brick in his hand and he slapped the back of my head. and as he did it, he said, "go home, you blac i felt really kind of lonely, i felt i was, like, the only person in the world that this happened to. but then i realised that it was happening to other people. he was that iconic figure that, you know, you see this chap there, you know exactly who is. but importantly as well, you knew what he stood for, and that's the thing. and this is why, you know, his loss is a great loss to not just our city but to our country. diagnosed with a brain tumour eight weeks ago, benjamin zephaniah died in hospital in nottingham early this morning. "we shared him with the world," said his family. fellow poet martin glynn shared a stage with him dozens of times.

he was with him in 2003 when benjamin famously rejected an obe because of the links between empire and slavery. the vitriolic response to when he turned it down was massive. so, for me, my memory of benjamin is, yeah, as a poet, as an artist, but he had massive integrity. and i suppose, really, when we see our icons, we think they're going to live forever. and i think that's the biggest shock. that's the status that benjamin had. be nice to your turkeys this christmas because turkeys just want to have fun. he regularly visited children at acorns hospices, campaigning to keep open their premises in walsall when threatened with closure. what we'll miss is that real down—to—earth i opportunity for him to sit with children inside our hospices and bring joy through reading i and through speaking - and being the larger than life character that he is. and so we will miss him terribly. we are gathered here today to join together in holy matrimony... he was very much loved.

within one week, you could see benjamin on peaky blinders and he'd be interviewed on a radio show and you might see him on the bbc talking about politics. so you never knew where he would kind of crop up. he called out life�*s iniquities, hoping all the while for something better. we just believed that in the end good will overcome evil. i see a time when the curry will blend with the shepherd�*s pie. i see a time when all over this blessed country of ours black people will play golf. we were lucky, won�*t we? i think a couple of times he sat with us on the sofa here, and he had such a lovely charisma. he would bring a warmth, and he was very humble at the same time. he had a great energy. he always brought that to any room, i think, that he was in, i think many people would say. coming up think many people would say. coming up on this programme, well, i will explain what this is about. take a

look... so this is outside our studios. stilla look... so this is outside our studios. still a bit dark out there? it is getting light, but what you can�*t quite see which you will as we get closer our tractors, and they attractors lit up with fairy lights and decorations —— they are tractors. they are going to go on a little jaunt together in liverpool, hit the streets of liverpool, and it is all about raising money for alder hey hospital. you can imagine the sight of what is a convoy of tractors? it would be a convoy of tractors? it would be a convoy of tractors taking over the street. you don�*t get the full force and the daylight. yes, it was beatable earlier. we will explain all in a few minutes. you�*re watching bbc breakfast, it�*s 8:59.
