humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. every other member of the council backed the resolution, apart from the uk, which abstained. palestine condemned the result as a terrible day for the council, but israel thanked the us, saying a ceasefire would give hamas - which is classed as a terror group by many western governments, including the uk — a chance to regroup. our correspondent hugo bachega reports. in gaza, there is no safe place, says the un secretary general. the healthcare says the un secretary general. the healthca re system says the un secretary general. the healthcare system is collapsing, hospitals have come battlegrounds, and palestinians have no shelter or anything else needed to survive, he says. this was the scene in khan younis in the south yesterday, in the aftermath of an israeli abstract, as the military pushes ahead with its against hamas. hours later, the un in new york, the

secretary general called for a ceasefire and how did this warning. there is a high risk of the total collapse of humanitarian support system in gaza, which will have devastating consequences. we anticipate this will result in a complete breakdown of public order and increase pressure for mass displacement into egypt. ifear the consequences could be devastating for the security of the entire region. for the security of the entire reuion. �* ,, . ., region. but the us, which has veto ower, region. but the us, which has veto power. ignored _ region. but the us, which has veto power, ignored his— region. but the us, which has veto power, ignored his calls _ region. but the us, which has veto power, ignored his calls and - region. but the us, which has veto power, ignored his calls and voted | power, ignored his calls and voted against it. fill" power, ignored his calls and voted auainst it. , ., ., against it. our goal should not siml against it. our goal should not simply be _ against it. our goal should not simply be to — against it. our goal should not simply be to stop _ against it. our goal should not simply be to stop the - against it. our goal should not simply be to stop the war- against it. our goal should not simply be to stop the war for. against it. our goal should not - simply be to stop the war for today, it should be to end the war forever. break the cycle of unceasing violence and build something stronger in gaza and across the middle east so that history does not keep repeating itself.— keep repeating itself. britain abstained in _ keep repeating itself. britain abstained in the _ keep repeating itself. britain abstained in the boat. - keep repeating itself. britain abstained in the boat. every| keep repeating itself. britain - abstained in the boat. every other member of the security council back to the ceasefire. we

civilians in gaza, but the world is asking, is it enough? we can speak to hugo injerusalem now. that morning. as your report that makes very clear, what is happening on the ground will be obviously preoccupying the residence of gaza. ijust preoccupying the residence of gaza. i just wonder to what extent they are aware of what happened in new york, and if there has been any reaction? , york, and if there has been any reaction?— reaction? yes, charlie, good morning- — reaction? yes, charlie, good morning- i — reaction? yes, charlie, good morning. ithink_ reaction? yes, charlie, good morning. i think the - reaction? yes, charlie, good morning. i think the reaction reaction? yes, charlie, good - morning. i think the reaction from the palestinians has been what the palestinian envoy to the united nations said yesterday, he said that after the vote, millions of palestinian lives were hanging in the balance. we have seen that there has been a strong reaction following the vote, amnesty international said the vote, amnesty international said the decision showed a harsh disregard for the suffering of civilians, and doctors without borders called the vote a vote against humanity. so, again, very strong words, and for days we have been talking about the warnings from

a number of un officials, aid organisations, saying that the situation in gaza, the humanitarian situation in gaza, the humanitarian situation in gaza, is catastrophic stop now, the israelis are saying they have taken measures to protect civilians in gaza. they accuse hamas of using civilians as human shields, but the situation is getting worse by the day. i think the vote yesterday showed this international pressure on israel to do more for the civilian population in gaza, also to do more to allow more aid to get into gaza, as this war continues. i think it also shows the growing isolation of the americans when it comes to what is happening in gaza, the biden administration has been telling the israelis that they need to do more to minimise civilian casualties, but they have been saying that the israelis have the right to defend themselves. i think it is a matter of time before the americans are forced to change their position. the americans are forced to change their position-— their position. hugo, for the moment. — their position. hugo, for the moment, thank— their position. hugo, for the moment, thank you - their position. hugo, for the moment, thank you very - their position. hugo, for the i

this weekend, rishi sunak, a lot of senior ministers, also those in number ten, senior ministers, also those in numberten, i senior ministers, also those in number ten, i think, senior ministers, also those in numberten, ithink, will senior ministers, also those in number ten, i think, will be ringing around conservative mps, trying to shore up support for the prime minister's new reminder bill, which is going to face a vote in the house of commons on tuesday. the problem for the prime minister at the moment is that there are at least two different factions within the conservative party who are currently raising concerns about this legislation in its current form. there is the so—called european research group, a group of brexiteer mps more on the right wing of the party, who have raised concerns that it could still leave the government open to individual asylum claim appeals, saying that it needs to override even more european human rights legislation. now, on the other side, there is the so—called one nation group of more moderate, more centrist conservative mps, who are concerned that this bill goes too far, and i worried about the potential tensions it might set up

betweenjudges and the potential tensions it might set up between judges and the government going forward. now, both these groups are mulling over the legislation this weekend as well. they are seeking legal advice on it. they are seeking legal advice on it. they have not come to a conclusion yet about whether or not they will vote for it, or try to seek changes to it when it is voted on next week. now, one thing to bear in mind is that it would be a huge deal mps were really going to vote against the prime minister, given this is such a flagship piece of legislation to him, and secondly, as well, to bearin to him, and secondly, as well, to bear in mind is that even if this vote passes is second reading in house of on tuesday, there is still the potential for rishi house of on tuesday, there is still the potentialfor rishi sunak to face challenges over it, because there will be further votes on this bill as it passes through the house of commons, they may be attempts by labour and some tory mps to try to tweak it and amended, and then of course it needs to get through the house of lords as well. lots of tricky challenges ahead rishi sunak

more rain to come this weekend. it would be a complete washout. the sunshine comes up feeling pretty mild. but it will be tempered particularly later today by strong winds in england, wales, northern ireland especially. this is what is going on in the big picture. nassim khadem was again of the atlantic overnight. from that we are seeing heavy and persistent rain, especially across wales, southern england right now. as the rain that has been moving on. still wet across parts of eastern scotland from yesterday's wet weather, too. the renders to the north. quite smartly. wales, southwest england, there should be some bursts in the next few hours, things brightening up lunchtime. bright morning in northern ireland then the rain returns. more persistent in england. however in north—west england and wales, more sunshine for england and wales, more sunshine for england and wales in the afternoon and we should see temperatures up to iii degrees, well up from where we should be, and

a big difference from where we were last week. it will be tempered by the wind, gales widely through england, wales, northern ireland, and could be some damage and stronger winds to the west of northern ireland but more especially across the irish sea, gusts of wind at 60 or 70 miles an hour during the day. windy enter day antidote. it will be quite later in the night with clear skies, interpreters will drop down into lower single figures for one two. a little fresher than last night. but more rain on sunday. the area of rain not as extensive as we will see through today. there could be hours of persistent rain before that its way through. then the sunshine returns again. brightening up for england and wales and northern ireland, but a cloudy afternoon across many parts of scotland with further rain on and off. temperatures down a little bit on today's values but still up from where we should be for this stage in december. beyond that, further areas of low pressure is i do sweep

through. another gathering, hot on the hills, as we go through into the last stages of monday and into the early hours of tuesday. windy conditions with that. but i have to leave you with some optimism, because at the end of the week we could start to see some high pressure building, which could mean some drier weatherfor pressure building, which could mean some drier weather for many. fathers, cooler once again. back to you both. fathers, cooler once again. back to ou both. ., ., fathers, cooler once again. back to ou both. ., ,, i. fathers, cooler once again. back to ou both. ., ~' ,, , fathers, cooler once again. back to ou both. ., ,, i. , . fathers, cooler once again. back to ou both. ., ,, , . you both. thank you very much, matt. see ou you both. thank you very much, matt. see you later— you both. thank you very much, matt. see you later on- _ you both. thank you very much, matt. see you later on. let's _ you both. thank you very much, matt. see you later on. let's look _ you both. thank you very much, matt. see you later on. let's look at - you both. thank you very much, matt. see you later on. let's look at the - see you later on. let's look at the da 's see you later on. let's look at the day's papers _ several of them lead with reports of growing dissent among conservative mps over rishi sunak�*s rwanda asylum policy. the daily telegraph has an article by robertjenrick, who resigned earlier this week as immigration minister, in which he says the plans do not go far enough. royal mail staff are being asked to prioritise parcel deliveries, according to the daily mail, leading to what it describes as a "post fiasco" that is seeing cards piling up in sorting offices. the sun reports on the ongoing claims of racism within the royal family, which have

resurfaced in a book. the headline is "i won't be emotionally blackmailed by harry" — which the paper says is king charles' response.

know, playing football until the 70s. so don't expect any individual personality to understand their privilege. nonetheless, you only have to see scores of women across the internet or in the business, whether you are a presenter or coach or player, to realise that we are routinely used to being — to dealing with systemic misogyny and bullying and behaviour that has been pretty normal for a and behaviour that has been pretty normalfor a large part of and behaviour that has been pretty normal for a large part of the football public. well, now, england captain leah williamson says recovering from a serious knee injury has "not been the easiestjourney". she's seven months into an expected nine—month recovery, from an acl injury, she sustained in april, while playing for arsenal. it forced her to miss the women's world cup. everyone thinks about injury as a thing that takes away your physical

ability and i said at the start, you know, everyone will talk about the fact that i miss the world cup or these real tangible things that come along with it. but ultimately my life has turned from having the best job in the world and something i loved to having to go do something every day that i don't want to do. it isn't like i'm impartial. i don't want to be in situation. so, yes, it — it's not the easiest, easiest journey. and you can watch that interview in full on football focus, that's on bbc one and bbc sport online tomorrow from midday. rugby union's champions cup got underway last night. there's a change to the format with 2a teams split into four pools of six teams. the top four from each of the four pools will qualify for the knockout stages, which begin with a last 16 in april. northampton saints soon took control at glasgow warriors with tommy freeman scoring two early tries in a dominant first half performance

which featured former england captain courtney lawes' first club try in five years. glasgow made a go of it in the second half, but it proved too little, too late. elsewhere, romain buros inspired bordeaux begles to victory over connacht in galway. the french side turned on the style to come away with the win, damian penaud also went over as they take control of the group early, which includes saracens, bristol, the bulls — of south africa — and lyon. 41—5 the final score. and finally, have a look at this rather bizarre moment from the snooker shoot out, kyren wilson, played part of his match with an oven glove on his hand. wilson later said he did it as a bit of fun once the frame was over after borrowing the glove from the kitchen staff at the arena in swansea. maybe he'll go and cook the team a roast now after it helped him make the next round. if you can have an oven glove which is quite boring, why not have a puppet, like a fox or a badger on your hand? that would make it entertaining. quite a nice place to

out in november 2022 had contributed to ruth perry's taking her own life. the fact she couldn't share the grade with anyone else, the long wait for the report to be published, had also made things worse. the coroner went on to say that the inspection "lacks fairness, respect, and sensitivity, and, at times, was rude and intimidating." afterwards, julia, surrounded by family and friends, gave their response to the verdict. . , ., ., ., . friends, gave their response to the verdict. . , ., ., .. ., verdict. ruth was a head teacher and also a wife. — verdict. ruth was a head teacher and also a wife. a — verdict. ruth was a head teacher and also a wife, a mother, _ verdict. ruth was a head teacher and also a wife, a mother, daughter, - also a wife, a mother, daughter, sister, and a dearfriend to so many people. her death as left an unsellable hole in all our lives. ofsted likes to judge people with single word labels. we could judge the current ofsted system with our own labels. callous. perverse.

inhumane. we have no confidence that ofsted, under its current leadership and management, is either willing or able to make the widespread root and branch reforms to its systems and culture that are so urgently needed. in a statement, ofsted's chief inspector amanda spielman responded to the verdict, saying "ruth perry public death was a tragedy that deeply affected many people. my thoughts are made with her family, the wider caversham school community, and everyone else who knew and loved her. on behalf of ofsted, i would like to say sorry to them for the distress that mrs perry undoubtedly experienced as a result of our inspection. after mrs perry's death, we make changes to the way we

work to help reduce the pressure felt by school leaders. we will do more. the coroner highlighted a number of areas of concern. we will work hard to address each of these as soon as we can and we are starting that work straightaway." t starting that work straightaway." i want her to be remembered for starting that work straightaway." t want her to be remembered for the head teacher she had been of that school for 12 years, before her death, for all those happy, safe childhoods that he/she nurtured and supported through school. hello everyone- _ supported through school. hello everyone- if— supported through school. hello everyone. if you _ supported through school. hello everyone. if you plan _ supported through school. hello everyone. if you plan to - supported through school. hello everyone. if you plan to hard - supported through school. hello everyone. if you plan to hard work, you will— everyone. if you plan to hard work, you will reap — everyone. if you plan to hard work, you will reap success. if you plant honesty. — you will reap success. if you plant honesty, you will reap trust. if you plant _ honesty, you will reap trust. if you plant perseverance, so not giving up, plant perseverance, so not giving up. you _ plant perseverance, so not giving up. you will— plant perseverance, so not giving up, you will reap contentment. something that ruth often said — it is more important to be kind and to

resolution would have allowed hamas to regroup, but the head of the un warns of a humanitarian catastrophe. former immigration minister robertjenrick warns the government will face the "red—hot fury of voters" over rwanda legislation which he says will fail. calls for better financial education in schools and colleges, to help the teenagers being bombarded online by get—rich—quick schemes. good morning. the row over women being involved in men's football coverage intensifies, with chelsea manager emma hayes saying that women are used to systemic misogyny in the game, following comments by ex— player joey barton that women should not be allowed to commentate on men's matches. a dinosaur�*s final meal revealed. the 75—million—year—old fossil that sheds new light onto what dinosaurs ate, and how they hunted. and there's more rain in the forecast today, with a risk of

flooding in some areas. but the date won't be a washout for some of you. the sunshine will develop, it does, the wind strengthens to gales for many later. i will have the full forecast. it's saturday, the 9th of december. our main story: the united states has vetoed a un security council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. every other member of the council backed the motion, apart from the uk, which abstained. palestine condemned the result as a terrible day for the council. but israel thanked the united states, saying a ceasefire would give hamas, which is classed as a terror group by many western governments including the uk, a chance to regroup. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega reports. in gaza, there is no safe place, says the un secretary general. the healthcare system is collapsing, hospitals have become battlegrounds, and palestinians have no shelter or anything else needed to survive, he says. this was the scene in khan younis in the south yesterday, in the aftermath of an israeli airstrike, as the military pushes

ahead with its war against hamas. for a ceasefire and had this warning. hours later at the un in new york, the secretary general called for a ceasefire and had this warning. there is a high risk of the total collapse of the humanitarian support system in gaza, which will have devastating consequences. we anticipate that would result in a complete breakdown of public order and increase pressure for mass displacement into egypt. i fear the consequences could be devastating for the security of the entire region. but the us, which has veto power, ignored his calls and voted against it. our goal should not simply be to stop the war for today, it should be to end the war forever — break the cycle of unceasing

violence and build something stronger in gaza and across the middle east, so that history does not keep repeating itself. britain abstained in the vote. every other member of the security council backed the ceasefire. we call for further and longer pauses to get aid to palestinians and allow space for further hostage releases, but we cannot vote in favour of a resolution which does not condemn the atrocities hamas committed against innocent israeli civilians on the 7th of october. in gaza, the situation for civilians grows more dire by the day. world food is warning of widespread famine and says 9 in 10 gazans are not getting enough food. "our life is extremely difficult," says hassanin, another displaced gaza resident, now in rafah. "there is not even water, this is what we face every day," he says.

as the fighting continues, more people are being killed and the suffering of survivors is getting worse. israel says it is taking steps to protect civilians in gaza, but the world is asking, is it enough? that was hugo bachega reporting, and he joins us now from jerusalem. we saw in your report the reality of what is happening on the ground on a day by day basis, and i imagined the discussions and what is happening in the un in new york will feel very distant to people there? exactly, charlie. good _ distant to people there? exactly, charlie. good morning. - distant to people there? exactly, charlie. good morning. there - distant to people there? exactly, | charlie. good morning. there has been a very strong reaction from the palestinian representative at the un, who said that after this vote, millions of palestinian lives were hanging in the balance. there has also been strong reaction from aid

organisations, amnesty international said the vote showed a harsh disregard for the suffering of palestinians, of the civilian population in gaza, and doctors without borders said this vote was a vote against humanity, and the days, we have been talking about concerns about the humanitarian situation in gaza, worsening conditions there with widespread shortages of basic supplies and hospitals overwhelmed with a large number of casualties as a result of these is rayleigh attacks. now, the israeli authorities say they have taken measures to protect the civilian population, they accuse hamas of using civilians in gaza as human shields, but i think the vote yesterday showed that there is a growing international pressure on israel to do more to protect civilians in gaza, and also to allow more humanitarian aid to get into the territory, so more assistance

could reach those people who need the most in gaza, but the united states again supporting the israeli position that a ceasefire would only benefit hamas. hugo, thank you very much. naga you have more now, it has been an extraordinary week in connection with immigration in rwanda, politically, and there is no sign about stopping today? it will be an interesting weekend for the promised the conservative party. the prime minister is facing growing dissent from his own mps over the government's revised plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda before a commons vote on tuesday. the former immigration minister robertjenrick says the conservatives will face "red—hot fury of voters at the ballot box" unless they do more to bring down levels of immigration. writing in today's daily telegraph he says "having promised to do whatever it takes to stop the boats, the goal now seems to have been reduced to delivering some symbolic, half—filled flights, taking off in the spring of next year." he goes on to say, "clearly for the policy to work we need individuals removed at scale, and within days of illegally stepping

on to our shores. anything less than this and the boats will keep coming." our political correspondent peter saulljoins us now. peter, many conservative mps will be giving this issue a lot of thought over the weekend? good morning. so, prime minister rishi sunak _ good morning. so, prime minister rishi sunak definitely _ good morning. so, prime minister rishi sunak definitely has - good morning. so, prime minister rishi sunak definitely has a - good morning. so, prime minister rishi sunak definitely has a job - good morning. so, prime minister rishi sunak definitely has a job of| rishi sunak definitely has a job of persuading mps to see his vision and agree with it, out of this tuesday vote? , , . . agree with it, out of this tuesday vote? , , ., . ., ., , vote? yes, this article from robert general this _ vote? yes, this article from robert general this morning _ vote? yes, this article from robert general this morning will _ vote? yes, this article from robert general this morning will no - vote? yes, this article from robert general this morning will no doubt| general this morning will no doubt provide some food for thought for those mps who are considering weather or not to act legislation on tuesday. —— robertjenrick. robert jenrick�*s argument is that the bill still leaves the possibility that migrants could lodge individual challenges. he also says that the european court of human rights could still get involved. some might see this is potentially a bit of positioning from robertjennings

richter head of what might ultimately be a leadership context after the general election, who knows. but certainly he is someone who was at the heart of government very recently, he ought to know what he is talking about. his words will be carefully looked out, no doubt, by those mps. rishi sunak himself will probably not enjoy reading his copy of the daily telegraph this morning of his cornflakes. he is arguing, strongly, but this is the right balance he has struck here, and had the uk disciplined international law to a greater extent, the rwandans would not have gone along with it. so his argument is that this is really the only way forward. the problem as there are some conservative mps who agree with robertjenrick�*s addition, there are others who think the government has gone too far with this blanket declaration rwanda is a safe country, despite what the supreme court ruled. so as other conservative prime minister is in the not—too—distant past have found, the not—too—distant past have found, the problem of plotting a middle

victoria gill has the details. entombed in 75—million—year—old rock, this is a gorgosaurus. the backbone would have been here, you can see the ribs. it's a type of tyrannosaur, a close cousin of t rex. but this fossil is hiding something else. what was recovered when the fossils were being cleaned at the museum was that there were the toe bones of a very small dinosaur found between the individual ribs of the tyrannosaur. those bones were not immediately obvious to experts, but they were this gorgosaurus' last meal. highlighted in this diagram of the fossil, they are actually the remains of two small baby dinosaurs, and there was enough remaining of those unfortunate creatures for palaeontologists to identify them. both sets of legs belongs to the small, birdlike dinosaur. it gives an insight into how the young tyrannosaurus would have

hunted and bitten their prey in half. prey remains were actually preserved by the tyrannosaur�*s stomach, so this fossil is actually the first solid evidence that we have of the diet and feeding behaviour in a juvenile tyrannosaur. experts say this also tells the story of how much tyrannosaurs transformed through their lives. young animals were agile predators, slender, with blade—like teeth, while mature tyrannosaurs like gorgosaurus and t rex were slower, but much more powerful. they were so big and so strong that they crushed through the bones of their prey. literally, there's fossils that have bite marks that match the teeth of the big adult tyrannosaurs. but the younger ones chased down their prey. to me, that's really neat, because it reveals these tyrannosaurs to be a lot richer, more complex, more nuanced as characters. they were notjust monsters, they were real animals and they adapted, they

changed as they grew up. this tyrannosaur never quite grew up. but its remains are a glimpse of its final hunt, 75 million years ago. victoria gill, bbc news. we are going to be talking more about those dinosaur remains. fascinating, isn't it? tt about those dinosaur remains. fascinating, isn't it? it certainly is. you fascinating, isn't it? it certainly is- you know — fascinating, isn't it? it certainly is. you know sometimes - fascinating, isn't it? it certainlyj is. you know sometimes people fascinating, isn't it? it certainly - is. you know sometimes people say, i've taken this amazing picture of something? let's say, the northern lights. andy look at it and say, it is kind of ok but not that great. here is one that works. matthew brown took this picture. how about that? he took this image of paxton's tower in carmarthenshire, where he lives. it'sjust won him a place in the northern lights photographer of the year award. deservedly so, i think. that does not look real! this time was taken out moke lake in new zealand. that looks like something out of lord of

which is where i keep all my medical bits. it is also an airing cupboard so there are details and everything like that. we get a big order, so you have to stack it all up. it is very organised, quite nice, but i have my bags, my gauze, my captors. one of the clubs i do is musical theatre. i wanted to share my story with the group. i wrote a letter explaining this. i wanted to write to you to explain why my mum sits outside our sessions every week, why i sometimes appear quite upset, and why i can't move in the same way as the rest of you in some of the dancers. i was born with spina bifida, which means i have an open hole at the base of my spine. i had a life—saving surgery when i was just three days old to seal it up. since then, i have had another 13 operations. because the spina bifida means i have lots of medical problems.

as arsenal are going to aston villa. what makes it extra space is that arsenal are top of the table and aston villa to form a team. didn't the beat aston villa to form a team. didn't they beat manchester _ aston villa to form a team. didn't they beat manchester city? - aston villa to form a team. didn't they beat manchester city? they l aston villa to form a team. didn't . they beat manchester city? they did, really well. the great thing about having your ex club around is that you know about them. i know it was a few years ago, since he left, but he is doing such a good job as well. he is doing such a good job as well. he is really happy in his current relationship, that is the other thing. it will be a sweet and special moment for unai emery, the manager who has transformed aston villa from relegation fodder to champions league contenders, when he welcomes his former club, arsenal, to villa park this evening. if villa were to win it would be a new club record of 15 consecutive home league victories. the most recent one against champions manchester city, when they were brilliant and and moved up to third in the table. they currently have the same points after 15 games that leicester city had in the season they famously won the league. but boss emery isn't even thinking about such fantasies it was amazing, amazing. what they

achieved in that moment. but it is very difficult. and of course we are awake, we try to have the opportunity and time to beat the team in either style, and be consistent. and the title —— the mentality is very important, but with the mentality, there is still a lot of work to do. villa might have an advantage, because the current arsenal boss mikel arteta will have to watch from the director's box. he has a one—match touchline ban after picking up a third yellow card of the season with an over—exuberant celebration of the gunners' late winning goal against luton on tuesday. it was an emotional moment. you have everyone bouncing around and you lose sense of where you are, the space that you have to be in, and it was unfortunate because now i cannot be next to my team on the touchline. but it is a decision that they made. if you look strictly at the rules, yes, we cannot do that.

if arsenal lose or draw, liverpool would go top with a win at crystal palace. the palace manager roy hodgson is the premier league's elder statesman, now 76, and counts liverpool among the many sides he's managed. his opposite number is certainly an admirer. he is an outstanding person, a really nice man. but actually, when i see him i always ask him, what are you doing here still? but he looks happy, he enjoys it, not so happy losing games but it comes with the job. i couldn't respect him more. he was my inspiration, someone who has inspired me to work on the job that long. despite their troubles in europe, manchester united have steadied the ship in the league, and that's been reflected by recognition for eric ten hag and defender harry maguire — who picked up the manager and player of the month awards for november. united face bournemouth in a three

o'clock kick—off at old trafford. we had our setbacks, especially at the start of the season, a lot of things went against us, injuries, decisions, and sometimes you find yourself in a place that you have to deal with and you see the character of the team. but we fought back and i think we are now in a better place, we are in a betterform. you see the performances are increasing, we are improving as a team and as individuals. the problems are mounting for wayne rooney at birmingham city, who lost for the sixth time in nine matches last night. the latest a 2—0 defeat at coventry. callum o'hare scored both goals, on his second start, after a year out with injury, and this moves coventry above their opponents. birmingham were 6th in october, when rooney became manager

they now find themselves 16th. next to the row that's been gathering steam over comments made by former playerjoey barton, who said on social media that women should not be employed as pundits or commentators on men's matches. they should just stick to women's games, he reckons. well, it's caused quite a reaction and, now the chelsea manager emma hayes has hit back ahead of the women's super league returning tomorrow after the international break. if you haven't experienced systemic misogyny like lots of us have, you can't for a moment understand how detrimental some of these conversations are, knowing that anything anyone says just enables an absolute pile on, particularly on social media, which let me be clear, doesn't take a lot for people to pylon women. rugby union's champions cup got underway last night. there's a change to the format, with 26 teams split into 4 pools of 6. the top four from each of the pools will qualify for the knockout stages, which begin in april. northampton saints soon

took control at glasgow warriors, with tommy freeman scoring two early tries in a dominant first half performance which featured former england captain courtney lawes getting his first club try in five years. glasgow made a go of it in the second half, but it proved too little, too late. cannot had no answer to the french flair and go away. they were run ragged by bordeaux, he's scored five tries including one from french international damien pano. 4105 finished, as they take control of the group early, which include saracens, bristol, the bulls of south africa and lyon. talking of the women's game, the injured england star leah williamson shows another of her talents on football focus today on bbc one this lunchtime. she has learned to play piano in just six weeks, not only that, but performing a chosen song at the bbc concert orchestra. there is a little sneak preview.

across the uk, the race is on to build enough courts to meet the demand for the sport that is like tennis, like squash, two sports that 85—year—old pete had to give up as he got older. but now, padel tennis, with its warm surrounds, has given them a new lease on life. you don't have to run — them a new lease on life. you don't have to run as _ them a new lease on life. you don't have to run as much, _ them a new lease on life. you don't have to run as much, it _ them a new lease on life. you don't have to run as much, it is _ them a new lease on life. you don't have to run as much, it is not - them a new lease on life. you don't have to run as much, it is not as - have to run as much, it is not as hard or medico squash and racquetball. t hard or medico squash and racquetball.— hard or medico squash and racuuetball. . , , racquetball. i have played squash and tennis but _ racquetball. i have played squash and tennis but this _ racquetball. i have played squash and tennis but this is _ racquetball. i have played squash and tennis but this is the - racquetball. i have played squash and tennis but this is the most i racquetball. i have played squash l and tennis but this is the most fun. it is and tennis but this is the most fun. it is always— and tennis but this is the most fun. it is always doubles, and underarm serving. and while the ball can only bounce once before you return it, if it goes past you it does not mean it is lost. tt it goes past you it does not mean it is lost. , ., ,., . , is lost. it is not so much twisting and turning _ is lost. it is not so much twisting and turning and _ is lost. it is not so much twisting and turning and bounding - is lost. it is not so much twistingj and turning and bounding around is lost. it is not so much twisting - and turning and bounding around the court, it is a bit more cultured. it is more tactical, more decision—making, rather thanjust decision—making, rather than just going big. decision—making, rather thanjust going big. the decision-making, rather than 'ust auoin bi. , going big. the first time you give this a beginner, _ going big. the first time you give this a beginner, then _ going big. the first time you give this a beginner, then you - going big. the first time you give this a beginner, then you notice | this a beginner, then you notice straightaway is how you can stay stay in the game, because even if you are up against a player much

home in the late 1960s. he was fed up home in the late 1960s. he was fed up with balls going into the neighbour's garden or down the hillside at the back. sadly, enrico is no longer around to see his legacy around the world, including now in the uk where the lawn tennis association has taken paddle under its wing. and two—time wimbledon champion andy murray is on board, playing it last year. more recently he has backed new courts and a padel team. �* , .,. he has backed new courts and a padel team. , , ., team. any racquet sports that the aeneral team. any racquet sports that the general public. — team. any racquet sports that the general public, children _ team. any racquet sports that the general public, children can - team. any racquet sports that the general public, children can pick. team. any racquet sports that the i general public, children can pick up and have a go out, when they are younger, is really important. and evenif younger, is really important. and even if it is not picking up a tennis racket for the first time, if it is picking up a panel racquet, i see that as being really positive thing, also for the future of tennis. such support for murray and the lgas means that in the last four years the number of courts have shut up years the number of courts have shut up from 50 to 350, with the emphasis now being on making it cheaper and more widely available. we are working with various operators, local authorities and councils etc, to look at ways we can offer things

a particularly wet month so far. we have had about 25% of the month gone so far but 80 or 90% worth of the rain amount so far this december. and so far across parts of southern and eastern uk. it isn't the same story everywhere. let me take you to western scotland, because it is drier than normal, especially across the north highlands, it is all because of the way whether systems have been pushing across and where the winds have incoming from. low pressure systems have been mainly towards the south, i have been piling in the rain across the southern areas like today, but the northern edge we have been dragging the winds and across the east, the north—west is where it has been sheltered. that is the story again today. lots of rain spreading north and east, just adding to the saturated ground, the higher rivers we have already got, it is now clearing away from parts of wales in the southwest, edging towards north—eastern england and the edge of southern scotland through the rest of this morning. it will ease a little while in northern ireland but the rain will return again through the rain will return again through

the afternoon. still went across parts of final scotland, but for many in england and wales, after a really soggy morning things will brighten up later and we will see lots more sunshine around. a bit of a struggle for north—western england and the far north—west of wales. in the sunshine, it may get up to 16 degrees. a big difference to what we saw last week. but it will be windy, and that will temper the feel of everything. wales will develop widely through ireland, england and wales, and it is to the west of northern ireland and around the irish sea, the isle of man, lancashire, cumbria, where we could see those when stopping 60 or maybe 70 miles an hour to end the day. it will be a windy end to the day. outbreaks of rain to the northern half of the country, clearing skies in the south, but we have those clear skies it will be a cooler night than last night, temperatures down into lower single figures for some rural spots. into sunday we will go, if you are up early you will go, if you are up early you will get reasonably dry conditions, away from the northeast of scotland, quite quickly rain will sweep north and east across the country. a bit like today, but this band of rain is

narrower and it will last less time. so less rainfall amounts, but it will sit across central scotland into the afternoon, as england and wales again should brighten up, lots of sunshine in north—west england in northern wales, and a slightly drier data northern ireland. still reasonably mild temperatures up into the midteens for one or two. beyond that, we still have low pressure systems waiting in the winds of the atlantic to start the week one disappears from this weekend, an next one starts to move on monday into tuesday, so more rain, more strong winds, but there is a sign later in the week that we could see something a little bit quieter, drier and brighter across the country. high pressure is set to build in. the flipside to that is that while we start the week with temperatures higher than we normally expect for this stage in december, by the end of the week it will be closer to, by the end of the week it will be closerto, if by the end of the week it will be closer to, if not a little bit below normal in one or two spots, but the flipside is that you get the sunshine and just some morning mist and fog. sunshine and 'ust some morning mist and fou. ., sunshine and 'ust some morning mist andfou. ., ,. , .,

million were stolen in london last year, according to police figures. celebrities such as the singer aled jones and the boxer amir khan have been among the more high—profile victims. bbc three made a documentary about it, parts of which were shown on bbc news output on tuesday. the reporter, tir dhondy, met some of the victims and the criminals. let's have a look at a clip. i met him a month before his trial where he was handed a two year sentence. during the interview, we noticed that he was carrying a large machete. we decided we couldn't press him for answers and kept our interview short. brave reporting, but was it wise reporting? blodwen jones got in touch after seeing that on the 1:00 news on bbc one.

well, we put blodwen's comment to bbc news and received this reply. to matters of less importance now — at least according to angela, who called our voice mail recently to complain about celebrities featuring on the news. she'd heard about the reunion of the noughties band girls aloud several times that day. so by the time it came up again on the 6:00 news on bbc one, she'd had enough.

and we're talking to girls aloud as they announce a reunion tour. i'm fed up with the amount of showbiz news that gets put on the bbc when it's supposed to be a news program. the fact that a pop group are getting back together is not news. if you want to have that sort of stuff to broadcast, have a special show so people who are interested in that can go and watch that show. but there's more important things going on, notjust in britain, but throughout the world. we asked bbc news why a forthcoming concert tour had been important enough to make news bulletins and received this reply for angela.

last week, the bbc announced it was embarking on what it's calling the "digital transformation" of news. this has been prompted by the decline in traditional linear audiences for tv and radio, an increase in the proportion of people getting their news online and by a need to save millions of pounds to avoid a budget shortfall. some areas of news will be cut back — we mentioned newsnight last week — and others expanded. as promised, we'rejoined today to discuss the bbc�*s plans for the future of news byjonathan munro, the deputy chief executive of bbc news. viewers have been writing in. let's have a look at some of their comments, matthew thomas wrote in about the plans for newsnight.

jr owen told us: janet leslie said: lesley reeves said: well, jonathan, as i say, is with me now, jonathan munro. thank you for coming on newswatch. could you clarify first how many, if any, journalistjobs have been lost in this round of cuts and in the last year since you embarked on this whole process? well, actually, we were increasing the number of people working for bbc news as a result of these plans, the ones that we're talking about today, by about 20 people. so we are reducing newsnight.

we're taking out the reporting team, for example, but we're opening up some reporting jobs elsewhere in bbc news, in investigations, in specialisms like housing, for example, which nobody at the bbc covers as a dedicated role at the moment. we're increasing our firepower on our digital services, particularly to strengthen our offer at weekends when we think there's more demand than we can currently supply. and we're opening up 20 morejobs in salford. so overall it's a net gain of 20 jobs. that's in this current round. what about previously? there was talk of 500 journalistsjobs going. is that what happened? there are quite a few hundred jobs across bbc news as a whole that are going at the moment. so about 400 or so, for example, in the world service. but each of those proposals is usually attached to some sort of investment somewhere else. so there are two things going on. we're trying to save money because the licence fee has been frozen and it's now,

we know for the next year, going to be lower than some people had expected that we would get. and secondly, audiences are changing and they're changing the way they consume news and other programmes. so we need to move money around, move resources around, move firepower around to meet them where they are, not where they used to be. newsnight will be shorter with a focus on live discussion and not films. there are loads of discussion programmes. why do that to newsnight? well, there'll always be space for what one of your members of your audience described as a highbrow programme. it's a — i know what he means by that. it's a good word, intelligent, well moderated discussion about some of the issues that most news programmes are not getting to. that will be the heart of newsnight. last week, newsnight�*s former political editor, michael crick, told us that the centralised reporting is not going to work. you lose the editorial distinctiveness that drives investigations on a programme, and one might mention the hannah barnes story and the tavistock clinic, for example. which was brilliant. and indeed, on the day we announced the changes, there was a really good investigation on newsnight about the culture in the nhs and how it affects patient care. the thing is, we want that sort of investigation to be available to the millions of people who come to us all day, whether whether it's on radio, television or online.

so if you look at investigations that we've done away from newsnight, like, for example, whether members of the establishment in the uae are profiting in the oil market from hosting cop or whether it's sexual abuse allegations in abercrombie and fitch, they're done from the middle of bbc news and they're spread through all of our outputs — our podcasts, our linear programmes, ourwebsite. they reach far more people. and in the end, ourjob is to get thatjournalism to the maximum range of audiences we can. former bbc news executive roger mosey was also on newsnight last week, and he said the bbc should be cutting some of the fluff from other parts of his output, like daytime, rather than making these cuts to the news content, which is the heart of the bbc�*s reputation. i think the bbc�*s reputation does rest a lot on what the public service bit that the bbc does, and news is at the forefront of that. i saw roger's interview and i saw michael couric�*s interview on the programme last week. i think if you had representatives of other parts of the bbc sitting with me today, whether it's daytime or entertainment or comedy or drama or sport or whatever, they would also...

we've tightened our belts, too, over the years. there's very little original programming in parts of daytime, now, for example, on bbc two, and other parts of the bbc have taken some very difficult decisions. these decisions are not easy. the focus on the shift to digital, which the bbc is making a big thing of, there is a concern that you risk losing a very big core and a loyal audience who watch news on tv and they listen to the radio. what do you say to them who say, "look, we're not interested in digital." why do you risk throwing them away? you're totally right. that core audience is so important to us. if you look at the numbers of people who are watching, for example, the big programmes on bbc one live — so the figures are in real time — very often the top two programmes of the day are the regional news at 6:30 and the 6:00 news that precedes it. and the other programmes that come from news are right up there in terms of the, the big deliverers of audiences, in terms of live television. and i would say to those

people, "stay with us." we've got linear — what we call "linear built" programmes on on bbc one, bbc to all the radio networks that people will be familiar with, they're in there for the long haul. we're not taking any of those programmes out of the schedule. we're not taking newsnight out of the schedule. we're moving resources around so that we can keep those audiences satisfied, keep delivering investigations, foreign news, a really important range of stories across the day in short and long form, but also to strengthen our offer for the increasing audiences who are coming to us, for example, online. you'll know people will see the changes to things like newsnight as kind of eventual death by a thousand cuts. and a lot of people are asking, shouldn't the bbc be fighting harder to protect its news output, to challenge the licence fee settlement that's just been announced? you know, journalism is the most important thing, they would argue that makes the bbc unique and valued as public service broadcasters, you need to fight a bit harder for the money. well, i'll make two points on that. first of all, as you as you know, the level of the licence fee is a decision for the government. it's not a decision for the bbc. so we can make representations.

we can make representations and we make our case in the normal way that you would expect. but ultimately, we respect the decision of a democratically elected government. that's the system for funding the bbc or at least the majority of funds that come into the bbc. on your broader point aboutjournalism being at the heart of what we do, we all agree with that. i couldn't agree with you more. it's why we need to keep modernising it, because even ifjournalism is the only thing we do, which of course it isn't, it will still be subject to new technologies coming along, new financial pressures, new dynamics in the news world, a war starting somewhere, other stories dying down. so we need to be very fleet of foot and dynamic in the decisions we take. jonathan munro, thank you. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email newswatch@bbc.co.uk, or you can find us on x — formerly known as twitter — at newswatchbbc. you can call us on 03700106 676. and do have a look at previous

the us vetoes calls for an immediate ceasefire in gaza — israel says a united nations resolution would have allowed hamas to regroup, but the head of the un warns of a humanitarian catastrophe former immigration minister robert jenrick warns the government will face the red—hot fury of voters over rwanda legislation which he says will fail the cough thatjust won't go away — a warning that cases of whooping cough, also known as the 100 day cough, have trebled in the past year on a huge day in the premier league, there's a reunion at aston villa, as their manager will be trying to beat his former club, and the man who took over from him, at the leaders, arsenal. we'll meet thunder the wonder dog — transforming lives and bringing comfort to those in need when you see ben smile, it's so uplifting and you know he has a

to survive, he says. this was the scene in khan younis in the south yesterday in the aftermath of an israeli airstrike as the military pushes ahead with its war against hamas. hours later, at the un in new york, the secretary general called for a ceasefire and had this warning. there is a high risk of the total collapse of the humanitarian support system in gaza, which would have devastating consequences. we anticipate that would result in a complete breakdown of public order and increased pressure for mass displacement into egypt. i fear the consequences could be devastating for the security of the entire region. but the us, which has veto power, ignored his calls and voted against it. our goal should not simply be to stop the war for today. it should be to end the war forever, break the cycle of unceasing violence, and build something stronger in gaza and across

and there was enough remaining of those unfortunate creatures for palaeontologists to identify them. both sets of legs belongs to the small, birdlike dinosaur. it gives an insight into how the young tyrannosaurus would have hunted and bitten their prey in half. prey remains were actually preserved by the tyrannosaur�*s stomach, so this fossil is actually the first solid evidence that we have of the diet and feeding behaviour in a juvenile tyrannosaur. experts say this also tells the story of how much tyrannosaurs transformed through their lives. young animals were agile predators, slender, with blade—like teeth, while mature tyrannosaurs like gorgosaurus and t rex were slower, but much more powerful. they were so big and so strong that they crushed through the bones of their prey. literally, there's fossils that have bite marks that match the teeth of the big adult tyrannosaurs. but the younger ones

chased down their prey. to me, that's really neat, because it reveals these tyrannosaurs to be a lot richer, more complex, more nuanced as characters. they were not just monsters, they were real animals and they adapted, they changed as they grew up. this tyrannosaur never quite grew up. but its remains are a glimpse of its final hunt, 75 million years ago. victoria gill, bbc news. it is 13 minutes past eight. over talking this yesterday. £201 million on offer in the euromillions straw. last night's record euromillions draw was won by a ticket holder in austria. to match jackpot is an estimated £201 _ to match jackpot is an estimated £201 million. let's start draw.

scotland, temperatures similar to today. that area of low pressure will gradually clear, another one coming through some late night, another one later on monday into tuesday. this is a succession of low pressure system spilling across with more rain, strong winds but it is moving so the rate will not linger too long, each day we should see brighter breaks here and there and later in the week high pressure building in, should be drierand later in the week high pressure building in, should be drier and for many mist and for purchase and temperatures dropping a little bit tougher they should be at the stage in december. tougher they should be at the stage in december-_ tougher they should be at the stage i in december._ the in december. thank you so much. the time is 18 minutes _ in december. thank you so much. the time is 18 minutes past _ in december. thank you so much. the time is 18 minutes past eight. - there are lots of nasty respiratory illnesses going around at the moment — and one of them is whooping cough. cases in england and wales have tripled compared to last year — and the effects can be really serious. let's find out more on this from the virologist dr chris smith and gp dr faria ahmad.

remarkable couple. time now for a love story which really has stood the test of time. 81 years to be precise. that's how long dorothy and tim walter have been married — and they say they've never had an argument in all that time. claudia sermbezis went to meet them at their care home in kent. music plays. very happy together. always happy together. we just took to each other, i suppose. dorothy and roy walter, known as tim, married in 1942 and are still going strong. 80, did somebody say 81 years? 81. 1942. can't imagine it, can you? i can't. see, we were married at 21. we were married.

yes, 21. war had begun. they were teenagers and fate saw them working together in the same munitions factory. i used to get on my bike and go and see her in the evenings. and he asked me out to the pictures, was that right, and that was it. this was war time, remember? it was a gradual increase in... in feelings between us. yes. tim became a fruit farmer in kent. they had two daughters and bought a boat to holiday on. we had ten wonderful years going down the canal, france. and we took it as far down as the mediterranean. the couple say it's simply compatibility that works for them. if we have a difference of opinion, we discuss it.

and we don't row. we've just delved into the records and yes, they're the second - oldest married couple, _ but their combined age together, they're the oldest couple. dorothy has just turned 103. tim catches up with her next march. byjuly, it'll be their 82nd wedding anniversary. claudia sermbezis, bbc news. dorothy and tim! quite amazing. if you are watching this morning, good morning and congratulations and thank you for sharing your story. coming up on breakfast... we'll tell you all about thunder the wonder dog —

whose work as as a therapy dog led to him having his portrait taken by the celebrity photographer, rankin. stay with us, plenty more still to come on breakfast.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. it is 8:30am. the deadline for posting christmas cards is looming — you've gotjust over a week to go — but many people will say they've got much bigger postal concerns. just weeks after royal mail was fined more than £5 million for failing meet delivery targets, some customers are complaining of a substandard service on essential items. chrissie reidy has been looking at the situation in sussex. the familiar sound of the post arriving. but for some, it's not a daily occurrence. but every few weeks. matt's a locksmith and says he's taken a huge hit financially. we call them the royal fail. that's our pet name for them.

the amount of things we've lost on ebay, we send out hundreds of packages a week and now we send out a dozen or so. most of the stuff just doesn't turn up in time and then people complain and get a refund via ebay. second class or first class signed for, we'd expect within 2a, 48 hours. we've had things take three weeks. alison moved to new haven three months ago and has been waiting on letters regarding medical appointments for the last two months. i've only been getting post once a fortnight, right? and that sort of sets up a big worry because especially having just moved to the area and i've had sort of various people i've needed to get in touch with, i thought, "well, have they not "received my communications or are theyjust ignoring me or have "they sent out a letter but i'm not getting it?" you see, there's all those questions. last month, royal mail was fined

£5.6 million forfailing to meet its first and second class delivery targets in what the regulator said was a wake—up call for the postal service. in a statement, royal mail said its kent and sussex teams were working extremely hard to ensure a consistent and reliable service this christmas and was recruiting 16,000 seasonal workers to help manage demand. but it insisted that mail was being delivered daily, with the vast majority arriving on time. and if delays occurred, dedicated teams would take immediate action. we may live in a digital world, but for many, having mail delivered through your door is still a lifeline. but for some customers, royal mail are simply failing to deliver. 0n monday's programme, ben will be live at royal mail.

0n monday's breakfast, ben will be live at a royal mail sorting office. so, if you've experienced issues with your post deliveries, we'd love to hear them. you can send us a message on whatsapp — the number is on screen now orjust scan the qr code. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on social media as well. what is happening in the sport, mike? we're not even into christmas yet but the premier league title race is shaping up to the best in years. champions manchester city are languishing in fourth after failing to win any of their last four matches. they play tomorrow, and city are six points behind current leaders arsenal, who today take on a rejuvenated aston villa, who are up to third and are managed, by theirformer boss who's hoping for a sweet and special reunion this tea time, as nick parrott reports.

chanting aston villa fans have been turning up the noise this season. they have plenty to think about. they have plenty to sing about. leon bailey's strike against manchester city secured a club record equalling 14th consecutive home league victory. it also saw them leapfrog the champions into third on the table. next up this evening they face the last team they lost two in the league at villa park, leaders, arsenal. it is also the boss of aston villa, unai emery�*s former club. they failed to reach targets, and he was sacked. the experiences that i had in the premier league at arsenal were important. always i try to get the best professionals around me, trying to add me more things

with their point of view. the experiences that i have with everything is the most important, how i approach things in the future. victory would narrow the gap to arsenal to just a point and could move aston villa up to second. one possible advantage for unai emery is mikel arteta won't be in the opposing dugout. the arsenal manager's exuberance earned him a third yellow card of the season, and a one—match touchline ban. i don't know how to stop it. it was an emotional moment. you have everyone bouncing around and you lose sense of where you are, the space that you have to be in, and it was unfortunate because now i cannot be next to my team on the touchline. but it is a decision that they made. if you look strictly at the rules, yes, we cannot do that. with two passionate managers leading to teams managers leading two teams playing at their best, they should be plenty more fireworks at villa park. nick parrott, bbc news.

if arsenal lose or draw, liverpool could go top with a win at crystal palace. the palace manager roy hodgson is the premier league's elder statesman — now 76 years young — and counts liverpool among the many sides he's managed. his opposite number is an admirer, even if he won't be following hogson's example in his 705. he is an outstanding person, a really nice man. but actually, when i see him i always ask him, "what are you doing here still?" but he looks happy, he enjoys it, not so happy losing games but it comes with thejob. i couldn't respect him more. he was my inspiration, someone who has not inspired me to work on thejob that long! well, hodgson faced criticism from palace fans after he called he them "spoilt" after wednesday's home defeat to bournemouth. the 76—year—old says he owes them an apology, after comments he regrets and which were made in the heat of the moment. ican quite

but we fought back and i think we are now in a better place, we are in a betterform. you see the performances are increasing, we are improving as a team and as individuals. next to the row that's been gathering steam over comments made by former player, joey barton, who said on social media that women should not be employed as pundits or commentators on men's matches. well, it's caused quite a reaction and now the chelsea manager emma hayes has hit back, ahead of the women's super league returning tomorrow after the international break. meal privilege has been something that has— meal privilege has been something that has always been at the centre of football in this country. —— male privitege~ — of football in this country. —— male privitege~ i— of football in this country. —— male privilege. i don't expect any personality to understand the privilege. but you only have to see scores _ privilege. but you only have to see scores of _ privilege. but you only have to see scores of women across the internet, or in the _ scores of women across the internet, or in the business, whether you are presenter, — or in the business, whether you are presenter, coach, player, to realise

degrees —— minus two degrees. contrast that with what we will see through today, we have the opposite side of early winter, a very mild one for the vast majority. which do you prefer? the milder one comes with quite a bit of rain, certainly this morning for many. let's take a look at what's happening. we will see the wet weather develop but there will be some sunshine as well. later today will get windy, courtesy of storm ellen. it was named by the irish met service because of their impact they will have on the west coast. it's tied to this bulge in the cloud that works its way eastwards. we have lots of rain around at the moment, but once it is moving northwards and eastwards, it is clearing away from parts of wales and the south—west, so it is to ensure not only drier but brighter here during the coming hours. persistent rain because she enters central and southern scotland, where

it will sit for a good part of the day. drier moments for northern ireland before that wetter and windier weather prison after lunch and into the afternoon. parts of north—west england and wales may not seem too much sunshine. rain to come later in the day, but for much of england and wales the afternoon will be drier, sunnier and warmer as well, with temperatures up to around 14 well, with temperatures up to around 1a degrees for the stage in december. you'll have to out to the wind. widespread gales across england and northern ireland, but it is these zones where we could see wind stop 70 mph. rough seas, travel problems, could be some power disruption, and to end the day the strong winds push off into the north see through this coming night, and then things will turn quieter later. some mist and fog patches. dry start for the early risers, but a batch of rain will work its way northwards

and eastwards. similar progress today in terms of where it goes, but it won't last as long and it should brighten up a bit quicker from parts of england, wales and northern ireland, but scotland will stay cloudy through the afternoon, without breaks of rain. temperatures generally seven to 13 or 1a degrees. temperatures up by about 5 degrees and where we should be at the stage of the year, if not more. the milder run of things continues. another area of low pressure pushes through sunday night into monday. a bit more rain around monday night into tuesday, with the next area of low pressure pushing its way through. still some sunshine around in between the downpours during the first—half of the week, but what we will find from mid week onwards is a greater chance of it staying drier for longer. looks like a ridge of high pressure will build them whilst we stay drier, and there will be morning fog and a bit cooler as well. ., a,

your reaction to this next story will probably depend on your feelings about pigeons. if you like them, it might remind you of the "feed the birds" scene from mary poppins. if you don't, it might feel more like alfred hitchcock's "the birds". we should put a warning out. there is a lot of birds fluttering coming up, and so we will genuinely find that quite alarming. it's about a woman from lincoln who loves pigeons — and we mean really loves them. our reporter simon spark went to meet her. when you think of pigeons, maybe pest comes to mind a problem in our city centres. some people even call them flying rats. but maybe you should meet annie. all right. come on, kids. this way. come on, sweetheart. come on, sweethearts.

come on, we're on film. and you'll know when she arrives because the pigeons will see her first. no mob rule. no mob rule, please. and the reason why they know and love her is because she feeds them every day. you want to come over to your water? hello, sweetheart. annie is an artist, university lecturer and doctor of her trade and her acquaintance with the pigeons of bradford poole in lincoln is all in the name of her art. many people would describe them as a pest in city centres, but you're actively encouraging them to be here? yes, i would say, to a certain degree, i mean, they are here notjust because of me, they are often here anyway, but also, i mean, if we're talking about species that pollute, i think we need to look at ourselves first.

it's us that's damaging the planet. they're not scared at all because i've got one on my shoulder. and this is the influence you have. they're not fearful of us because you've created such a bond. i think that that's part of it. i would say that others have also created this bond. but now to see annie at work and be honest, and we didn't ask her to do this, but it'sjust dedication to her craft. thank you. there we go. i'm using a long lens to look at the back. and because of the water that's formed on their back, it becomes quite sort of semi poetic. and also it kind of creates a mood, aura, it creates a suggestive. aura, it creates a suggestion. we get the picture. what this is, is a bond between nature and art and some very happy pigeons. simon spark, bbc news. and watch the hair.
