league football in turkey is suspended after a referee is punched to the ground by a club president following a top—flight game last night. hi, barbie! hi, ken! and can barbie revive the golden globe awards? the film leads the way with nine nominations. good morning. for england, wales and northern ireland, rain pushing east bits followed by a fair bit of clout, limited brightness and heavy showers which could be country. scotland will be fairly cloudy and wet on and off throughout much of the day. all of the details later in the day. all of the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 12th of december. our main story. rishi sunak is hosting a breakfast meeting at downing street this morning, to convince potential conservative rebels to back his flagship rwanda bill, ahead of a vote later. the legislation to send some asylum

seekers to the east african country has proven controversial and a revolt ofjust 29 of the prime minister's mps would be enough to defeat the bill, as our political correspondent iain watson reports. is rishi sunak in danger of losing control of his policy to stop the boats? there's a crucial vote in parliament today on his new plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. but mps on the right of his party are worried that this won't stop the courts from getting clogged up with legal challenges. and some have called for his legislation to be scrapped altogether. i don't think that the bill is easily amendable. and really i think that the government needs to review it and maybe consider a completely new piece of legislation because this leaves so many gaps in the legislation. so this morning, the prime minister is trying to butter up some of his critics over breakfast in downing street. it's maybe not what you normally talk about over coffee, but he'll try to convince them that

legal challenges would be few and far between, and to say any delay to his plan would reduce the chances of migrant flights to rwanda before the next general election. a series of former cabinet ministers, including those with legal knowledge, have been taking to the airwaves to call for support. this is a very strong bill. it's a very muscular assertion of parliamentary sovereignty. i don't, myself i'm surprised that my colleagues feel it's so porous to legal challenge, because it seems to me that it's been drafted very tightly. there's a very narrow window for legal challenge. i think it's about as far as you could go without risking the complete blockage and collapse of the bill. last night, rishi sunak was given a boost when a centrist one nation group of mps said they'd back him in today's commons vote. but they also warned that support could be withdrawn if he makes concessions to his breakfast guests

on the right of the party. we've said, you've come within an inch of what we can sort of stomach, but if you go any further, we won't stomach it. so as i say, we will vote for second reading. we think it's clearly important for the stability of the government that we do that, but we're not going to support anything in the future that threatens our international obligations. if rishi sunak wins tonight's vote, mps will then be given a chance to propose changes to his plan. so the debates and the division are likely to continue leaving the prime minister walking a wavering political tightrope. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in downing street where mps will shortly be arriving for breakfast with the prime minister. morning, henry, how important is this breakfast meeting for rishi sunak? ~ , .,

off the ground or not. then there is a question of how mps might rebel. they could vote against the government or abstain, it's like away goals, voting against the government count double. rishi sunak will want them to abstain if he cannot commit them not to rebel at all, sit on their hands, rather than vote against him. if you zoom out for the big picture, the fact that even question is that he could lose this vote is extraordinary. i asked a cabinet minister last night if rishi sunak would fight on for 12 months until a general election if it stays like this? their answer, no chance. . ~ it stays like this? their answer, no chance. ., ~ , ., it stays like this? their answer, no chance. . ~' , ., , it stays like this? their answer, no chance. ., ~ , ., , chance. thank you, henry, in downing street. chance. thank you, henry, in downing street- let's — chance. thank you, henry, in downing street. let's talk _ chance. thank you, henry, in downing street. let's talk about _ chance. thank you, henry, in downing street. let's talk about some - chance. thank you, henry, in downing street. let's talk about some drama i street. let's talk about some drama in cop28, jon. as negotiations at the un's climate summit reaches its last day, another version of the final agreement is being prepared after an early draft was condemned for being "weak". some nations reacted

furiously to the draft text, which did not call for a phase—out of fossil fuels, as our climate editorjustin rowlatt reports. when the new draft was released, there was confusion. negotiators and journalists scrolled through the pages. the realisation slowly dawning that the agreement had changed. a landmark deal to get rid of the fossil fuels responsible for climate change had seemed within reach. now it appeared to be being snatched away. eamon ryan is one of the eu's lead climate negotiators. if the text doesn't change, will you walk away from this deal? this text will not be acceptable. would you walk away if the text doesn't change? if this doesn't change, yes, it will not be accepted as a text. so what went wrong? a group of oil producing nations led by saudi arabia had openly opposed the deal. they said there wasn't enough to compensate for the losses they feared they could face.

you need me to change? of course i'm ready to change. where is your support, please? we are boring of talking. we are victims. if you want me to change, you should support. we've been walking around this vast site, speaking to different country groups. and it seems quite a few developing countries felt there wasn't enough in this dealfor them. not enough cash to help with the switch to clean energy, for example, not enough to adapt their countries to the climate change they know is coming. the process isn't over yet. the negotiations continue here in dubai, but the un will be anxious. if we don't get a commitment to phase out fossil fuels in this deal, does that mean this cop conference has been a failure? a central aspect, in my opinion, of the success of the cop would be for the cop to reach a consensus

on the need to phase out fossil fuels in line with the time framework that is in line with the 1.5 degree limit. we certainly don't have that at the moment. hi, sir, how's it going? is it going through the night? not much sleep for the president of cop28 then. and after almost 30 years of these summits, it appears the world is still a long way off a final deal on phasing out fossilfuels. justin rowlatt, bbc news, dubai. we're joined now by our reporter carl nasman. morning, carl. we can see it is busy there even though it is early. any sign of progress on an agreement? it is still early here but i can tell you, just walking into the expo

ground here, there was already a demonstration taking place outside of the main negotiating halls. there were climate protesters calling for stronger action, saying that their redline is a fossil fuel phase—out. i spoke with the young german activist who said they will be here as long as it takes. there was widespread disappointment not only from developing nations on the front line of climate change, but developed countries as well, the uk, eu and us block, saying the text wasn't good enough. we are expecting today potentially new updated version of the text. these negotiations, these summits often take more than one try to try to come to an agreement. this has to be among 200 nations, a unanimous agreement. we know that oil nations are strongly opposed to a fossil fuel phase—out, but there's lots of pressure and growing momentum and frustration from many other nations saying that they need stronger language here. there is a potential, we have to say, for the fact that

this is the last day of the scheduled conference, there could be some kind of take it or leave it option from the cop28 president, we will see. we are waiting for more word and we will keep you up—to—date on all the latest developments here in dubai. we on all the latest developments here in dubai. ~ _, . ~ ., i. in dubai. we will come back to you if we hear anything, _ in dubai. we will come back to you if we hear anything, thank - in dubai. we will come back to you if we hear anything, thank you, - if we hear anything, thank you, carl. campaigners have written to the chief constables of norfolk and suffolk to request an investigation into thousands of mental health deaths in those areas. it's after a report by independent auditors found as many as 8,440 patients had died unexpectedly over three years. norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust said it had started a review of patient deaths. about 20 homes have been evacuated on the isle of wight following a large landslip. it happened near ventnor, on the south—east coast of the island on sunday night. aerial photos captured by island echo showed the extent of the damage, which has left nearby homes teetering on the edge.

israel's defence minister says hamas, proscribed a terror group by the uk government, is on the verge of being dismantled in northern gaza, though some military analysts call that assessment "optimistic". meanwhile, the united nations is expected to vote on another resolution for a ceasefire in gaza, following warnings the strip is on the brink of a "total breakdown of civil order". normally you'd find people frantically running for their trains while on the commute, but passengers at st pancras international were treated to a surprise performance from a grammy award winner instead. # no—one, no—one, no—one... scores of people gathered round as none other than alicia keys sang her hits like "no one" and "empire state

heading into that time, using these buy now pay later things can be a life—saver, firms like lana spreading payment outcome people can afford the payments into the big date —— firms like klarna. it is interest free but there are a lot of fees to pay if payments are late and people are not given time to pay things if things go wrong. debt charities are hearing that a lot of people will struggle to afford christmas, more than previously and many turn to borrowing in order to be able to meet those gusts. our cost of living correspondence has been looking at this in detail. chantelle has grown up buying now and paying later. she signed up to spread her first payment nearly ten years ago when she wasjust 17. the payments add up, so you pay the £300 this month, you still owe £300 the next month, and then you buy more

stuff, that is going to keep going up and up. so at that stage you were thousands of pounds in debt? yeah, over 3,000 on the very, a few hundred on the klarna. did itjust feel like free money to you? it's funny you say that, because that was literally what i used to say. it was free money because it is, even though i had to pay it back, mentally, i wasn't thinking that. i wasjust thinking, "oh my god, they'll let me have this money. i can buy something and i can worry about paying it back another time." once you miss a payment, that's it. you're just down the rabbit hole and it's really hard to get out of. so it was affecting your mental health as well as your financial health? yeah, absolutely. it was just giving me anxiety and it didn'tjust affect my mental health, it affected me socially going out with my friends as well, because i was just always thinking, can i actually afford to pay for this, at the end of the meal, or i was having to borrow, or i was not being able to go out at all. but when chantelle got a newjob, she totally shifted her attitude to money as well. that's when i decided, no,

i'm just going to save up, start saving all my wages, pay these debts off. and then that hard—earned money is going to be mine. and that's exactly what i did and it's the best thing i've ever done. the hardest thing is making that call, right, something's got to change, isn't it? absolutely. people would just say that i'm stupid and young and dumb, and i appreciate that because i was a little bit irresponsible with it. but getting out of that... it's hard, i think it is an addiction, it is an addiction, shopping is an addiction. and using these buy now pay laters, it becomes a routine, you're comfortable with it. if they even looked at my bank statements and things like that, they'd have seen that i probably didn't have enough money to pay back what i was borrowing. but they didn't look. theyjust didn't look, they don't look. and that's the nub of the issue for debt charities. with no regulation from the government, they're seeing more people falling into problem debt without realising. it's being sold really aggressively at the point that you check out online. it means that you're not necessarily seeing all of the terms and conditions as clearly as you would when you take out a credit card.

i think we are now at the point where the government are dragging their feet on this. the financial conduct authority has welcomed plans to regulate buy now pay later. the government had previously said that it was intention to regulate, intention to regulate, buy now pay later, and we simply can't wait much longer for action on this. that's exactly what chantelle thinks, too. how many more people must get in debt before they bring the regulations in? i don't think that's fair whatsoever. something needs to be done now, because the longer they wait, the more people get in debt. you shouldn't be able to have one of these buy now pay laters, pay it back and have nothing left in your bank. it shouldn't be like that. the government have told me they think that when used appropriately, buy now pay later can be a useful way for people to manage their finances. but chantelle's worried lots of people don't use it that way, and she's hoping they can learn from her mistakes. coletta smith, bbc news in birmingham. quite a few criticisms levelled at

there are signs we're now past the peak growth in rents. a report from zoopla suggests annual rent growth in the capital is down from 17% a year ago to 9%. it also says, the number of properties in london having their asking price reduced is also higher, with 10% of listings last month having reductions of around 5%. london's first fully electric ferry service could be on its way, if new plans are approved. thames clippers has won funding from the government for the new ferry, which would travel between canary wharf and rotherhithe. if approved by southwark and tower hamlets councils, the boat will replace the current diesel one. the service is expected to operate from february 2025. a family in walworth who've lit up their house for 25 years with thousands of christmas lights say they hope this year will be the best ever for donations. gunaltay mustafa's house on albany road comes to life every year to help raise money for the anthony nolan trust. it helped save the life of their son, who had lukaemia when he was a boy. as well as raising money, the family want the lights to bring

some festive cheer to their neighbourhood. even in like, dark times. and even though people can have a rough time at times, there's always a bit ofjoy that you can have. and even the smallest things can bring a smile to someone's face. let's take a look at the tubes now. we've got severe delays on thejubilee and the north—western section of the metropolitan lines. and the piccadilly line has minor delays between kings cross st pancras and cockfosters. time for a look at the weather now, here's georgie palmer. good morning. quite a bit of rain around over the next few days, but the early signs are calming down for the weekend. more about that in just a moment. for today, we're looking at squally showers, some fairly gusty winds and some brighter spells in between. so definitely worth having an umbrella to hand if you are heading out. those showers actually could bring us some rumbles of thunder and lightning later this afternoon. but, like i said, in between some dry spells but staying pretty cloudy with highs of 11 celsius. overnight tonight, dry at first, but due to low pressure, we'll see further showers

spilling in through the early hours. but actually feeling a bit cooler compared to last night with overnight lows of 6, maybe 7 celsius. but tomorrow, it's an improving picture. still quite a few showers around, but actually feeling cooler tomorrow, coolerfor thursday and friday. and thanks to high pressure building at the moment, like i said, the early signs are that the weekend will remain more settled with some sunny spells. have a great day. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website. i'm back with more in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back to sally and jon. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. as if the prime minister hasn't got

enough on his plate this week with the big vote on his rwanda bill later, he's also been questioned for hours at the covid inquiry about his eat out to help out scheme, which he introduced when he was chancellor. the scheme, which aimed to revive the hospitality trade in the summer of 2020 with cut—price meals, has since been blamed for increasing covid deaths. our health correspondent ellie price reports. heckling. rishi sunak must have known he wouldn't get the warmest welcome from the protesters outside. he came prepared, starting with an apology. i just wanted to start by saying how deeply sorry i am to all of those who lost loved ones, family members... he was ready too for questions on this. hello. his eat out to help out scheme. he introduced it in the summer of 2020 to try and kick start the economy after the lockdown. and he said, protect some of the lowest paid at risk

of losing their livelihoods. here we go. brilliant. my primary concern was protecting millions ofjobs of particularly vulnerable people, who worked in this industry, and that was the primary driver for what we were doing. the inquiry has repeatedly heard from scientists, who say they weren't consulted, but the former chancellor insisted there were three meetings with scientific advisers between the announcement of the scheme and when it started and he said no—one voiced concerns. i'm very clear that i don't believe that it was because hospitality had been deemed to be safe. this was a very reasonable, sensible policy intervention. i didn't believe that it was a risk. he was also defensive about claims he had earned the nickname dr death, while his department, the treasury, was called the pro death squad because of its stance of keeping hospitality and retail open while others were calling for tighter restrictions. all the people who worked with me at the treasury, who worked extremely hard throughout the entire period and, as you kindly alluded to earlier, and the if] report are widely considered to have done

some things that no—one had thought possible that saved millions of people's livelihoods. but people campaigning on behalf of bereaved families were not convinced. the scheme was absolutely diabolical. the virus was so prevalent at that time and the scientific advice that was ignored. the prime minister's testimony felt like an apt finale as the curtain comes down on this part of the covid inquiry. we'll hear a little bit of legal summing up over the next couple of days but that's it for witnesses. now, the recommendations and conclusions of everything we've heard over the last few weeks are expected to be published by the end of next year. and the covid inquiry itself will go on a little bit of a road trip in the new year, visiting scotland, northern ireland and wales to talk about decision—making there. ellie price, bbc news at the covid inquiry in london. that is just the first stage of this inquiry. that is the end of next

year. now, the sport with chetan. a really disturbing incident we saw on television. turkey are calling it a night of shame after a referee was punched to the ground by a turkish president. a late equaliser was scored after the final whistle. the referee is punched to the ground. let's show you what happened. this is one of the most high—profile referees. referee halil umut meler was knocked down by mke ankaragujew president faruk koca, who ran on to the pitch after his team conceded a 97th—minute equaliser in their 1—1 super lig draw with chaikur rizespor. meler received several blows from others as he lay on the pitch. further scuffles followed. life the referee, the club president also required treatment in hospital but "detention procedures will be carried out.

that's a quote from turkey's minister of internal affairs. in terms of the referee himself, the injuries he had, there was a fracture to his left eye and also bleeding. we have had the turkish president speaking out against this, saying he condemns the attack. galatasaray causing for an emergency meeting saying violence is a growing issue the game. greek football for two months is being played behind closed doors because of concerns for violence. now to the champions league. it's a potentially season—defining few days for manchester united, with games against bayern munich and liverpool. tonight, at old trafford, united have to beat the german champions — harry kane and all — if they're to have any chance of staying in the champions league. on top of that, they need the other game in their group to end in a draw. patrick gearey reports: commentator: a dismal, _ miserable day for manchester united.

commentator: manchester united have been thoroughly beaten. _ commentator: it's going to pile the pressure on erik ten hag. - not one of them were fit to wear the shirt. there's a disconcerting echo around manchester united this season, repetitive but unignorable. now, in the champions league, things are coming to a head. even victory against bayern munich might not be enough to keep them in it. not worth thinking about, according to the manager. we think positive, so we know what to do. we have to win to stay in europe. so it's all about that. so we will prepare the team with that feeling and with that belief that we are able to do it. after 11 defeats in �*23, anyone familiar with the darker corners of united's difficult decade might recognise patterns — noises and feelings that have built until the manager changes. scott mctominay has been there for much of that time, but he says this is different. we've had many amazing players over the time and i feel like now we're at a stage where we've got big characters in the dressing room, where it's notjust a case of like some of the other managers,

where it's been a little bit toxic at times. the boys are firmly behind the manager and that's the be—all and end—all. but now, they'll be tested again by a formidable foe and a familiarface. in an alternative universe, harry kane could be playing for united in this game. they were interested in buying him. as it is, his bayern side are already through and in his first club game back in england, he has the chance to show united what they've been missing. i think every fan would think that, er, they wish for harry kane in their team. that's why we are very proud that we managed... we managed to seduce him, and we managed to steal him from premier league and from english football. your skipper of your national team. and he's a big, big personality. commentator: it's a clear header. it's gone in the net. solskjaer has won the european cup. think of manchester united versus bayern munich and you think of the improbable — the 1999 champions league final when united turned it around at

the very last moment. they will hope that these are the echoes they hear tonight. patrick gearey, bbc news. the pressure is off for arsenal, who are already assured of top spot in their group, but after a strong start to the season, they've looked a little more vulnerable of late. they're away to psv eindhoven, who are guaranteed second place, so we could well see some changes. arsenal taking three academy players with them to the netherlands. everton say they'll continue to display foodbank charity adverts on the scoreboards at their ground, in response to the so—called "poverty chanting" of opposing supporters. the move was praised on social media, and the message of "fans supporting foodbanks" will be shown whenever the chanting is heard. chants like "sign on" are specifically aimed at everton and liverpool mocking fans about unemployment. the ads were displayed just 3a seconds into everton's win over chelsea on sunday, and twice more.

you may remember the row when england fans couldn't buy a mary earps goalkeeper replica shirt during the women's world cup this summer, after the kit supplier nike failed to produce any. earps won the golden glove for best keeper at the world cup and eventually, after a backlash, her replica shirt was released in october, selling out quickly. another batch was released yesterday morning but they sold out in five minutes, leading to calls for more to be released. it's understood that the number of shirts available was comparable with the amount of goalkeeper kits on the website for previous men's tournaments. we've seen some missed chances this season but there was a shocker in league one last night. bolton would have gone top with a win at portsmouth. dion charles had this glorious chance to open the scoring in the first half. the northern ireland striker has 11 goals this season, it proved to be a costly for bolton,

as they went on to lose 2—0, leaving them six points behind portsmouth at the top. he is dancing but not a good night the dion charles, sadly. he couldn't believe that, could he? thank you very much. it'll come as no suprise that barbie and oppenheimer lead the nominations at the golden globe awards, having dominated both the big screen and our social media feeds this summer. the globes have attracted controversy in recent years due to allegations of corruption and a lack of diversity within its membership. will this year buck the trend? david sillito reports. welcome to the golden globe awards. the golden globes — the funnier, more unruly cousin to the oscars — is at the moment trying to reinvent itself after a scandal over a lack of diversity. but there's also another problem for award shows — a lack of viewers. in recent years, as the gap between critical acclaim and box

office success has grown, tv audiences have turned off. however, this year, something's changed. hi, barbie. hi, ken. barbie — the story of a plastic doll�*s existential crisis has come to the rescue of another institution with its own existential crisis, along with another huge success. oppenheimer. barbie. oppenheimer. oppenheimer — the third biggest movie in the world is onlyjust behind the number one box office hit in the list of nominations, meaning that most people in the tv audience will have at least heard of the front—runners. and with new owners of the globes, who have links to the hollywood reporter newspaper, the message is that after lockdown and actors strikes... hollywood is back. i mean, i think that's the big news today. it feels like being here

for the golden globe announcements, like, after a strike, after everything that the town has been through this year is that hollywood is back. they're all counting on us. and there's also a new category, honouring achievement at the box office. so even a film like super mario brothers, which was not met with universal critical acclaim, has been invited to the golden globes party. how's that for diversity? david sillito, bbc news. seen all those movies? quite a lot of them. those two have dominated. that is good to see. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. looks misty behind you. good morning- _ looks misty behind you. good morning- we _ looks misty behind you. good morning. we have _ looks misty behind you. good morning. we have the - looks misty behind you. good morning. we have the rain - looks misty behind you.

confined to the east. if you show is peppering pembrokeshire and cornwall. under clearer skies it will be a colder night. here is where we are looking at some patchy frost, particularly in the north—west highlands. into tomorrow after that nippy start, we start off with some sunshine in scotland and northern ireland. more cloud in england and wales with dregs of low pressure pulling away taking rain and drizzle eventually with it. brighter in the west with sunshine. it would be a colder day than today. we are looking at highs in aberdeen of four and plymouth of ten. with the next weather front waiting in the next weather front waiting in the wings. that will eventually come away overnight wednesday into thursday in the shape of these front sinking south. another thing to notice is there will be a fair bit of cloud associated with them. the rain not particularly heavy. there could be transient snow on the hills

in scotland overnight. eventually the cloud will pull away, a lot of dry weather. more of a westerly wind coming our way. these are the temperatures, eight to 12 degrees. then it quietened down a touch and turns a little bit milder.— turns a little bit milder. thank you very much — turns a little bit milder. thank you very much indeed. _ nearly a million children in the uk don't have a proper bed to sleep in — and that can have an impact on their education and mental well—being. that's according to research from the charity, barnardo's. in leeds, bex wilson has been delivering hundreds of beds each week to help some of the most vulnerable families in the area. with bed poverty, if you give a child a bed, then they have a good night's sleep. they're in a better place to learn in the classroom. and that bed, you know, that can see a child through their entire primary school career. five years ago, primary school teacher bex wilson had a conversation with a pupil that would eventually lead to vital help for thousands.

i was often in one of those classrooms when the little boy said to me, "miss, i don't have a bed — i'm always tired." and that conversation changed the rest of my life. vowing then to eradicate bed poverty, bex's charity zarach has since delivered over 7,000 beds to families where children have had no bed or bedding of their own to sleep in. most of those have been in the last 12 months. families like this one. dad richard has always worked, but last year he broke his back. used to working, being active. so it's hard not doing stuff no more. so where have your children been sleeping up till now? they've been on the sofa.

the little boy's a lot happier that he's got a bed, he's so excited. and what about for you when you've got a broken back — where have you been sleeping? on the sofa. so i'm happy as well because i've got a bed so i can be a lot more comfortable. recent research from the children's charity barnardos suggests that over 800,000 children have had to share a bed or sleep on the floor in the last year. and that's more than doubled since 2017. bex, who's now deputy head, is determined to bring that to an end. bex wilson joins us from leeds. morning to you. we saw the work you have been doing for the last several years. how have things changed more recently? i years. how have things changed more recentl ? ~' ., ., years. how have things changed more recentl ? ~ ., ., ,, ., recently? i think the data speaks for itself. when _ recently? i think the data speaks for itself. when i _ recently? i think the data speaks for itself. when i started, - recently? i think the data speaks for itself. when i started, i - recently? i think the data speaks for itself. when i started, i was i for itself. when i started, i was looking at 450,000 children across england. that is now up to 894,000 we have seen from the research. they

these are the voices of the songs for ukraine chorus. many of its members fled to the uk after russia's invasion. amongst them is ina, an english teacher, who left when the school where she worked was bombed. she's now separated from her husband and her son. ifeel like i'm living a double life. so one part of me is sad and miserable. i constantly follow the news and it really hurts. being in this choir, ifeel like i'm doing something important for my country. sharing ukrainian music and ukrainian culture with the world. the choir was set up by the royal opera house, and this is the first time they've performed outside london. it's part of a creative collaboration ahead of bradford city of culture status in 2025. for orla, it's a privilege to sing the traditional folk songs

she's known since childhood, but it's also bittersweet, reminding her of the family and friends she's left behind. it's so difficult that i cannot experience some very meaningful moments with my family. i mean, like, the birth of my nephew — my first nephew and his first steps. for many, the choir has become like a family, providing an important connection to their homeland. but the fact that some of their loved ones are still caught up in war is never farfrom their minds. one way or another, all people i know are somehow related to war — either directly defending on the front line or contributing with all the ways they can.

the choir symbolises resilience and hope this christmastime. and no—one involved in this project underestimates the power of music to unite in times of difficulty. one of the singers on the way up from london, she showed me there on her phone, three young singers. she's a singing teacher in ukraine. and she said each one of these now is in a different country. the school is bombed. and then she told me she just talked to her husband, who's on the front line. and this brings it, as you say, christmas is extremely emotional time for many people, but for people who are half of them is not here. so the bringing together to sing as one — as one chorus — at this time of year, this is a form of healing for them. displaced by war, but bound together by a dream — that one day they'll return

home to peace. i couldn't even imagine that one day the biggest dream of my life will be gathered together with my family at one christmas table and simply hug them. a beautiful sound, isn't it? coming up on breakfast... the actor tobyjones will be here to tell us all about his latest role, in a drama based on the horizon post office scandal. really looking forward to talking to him. always a great guest, isn't he? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm paul murphy—kasp. students in brent say they're living in filthy, rat infested conditions because of a dispute between the owners of their halls of residence and maintenance contractors. the rubbish pile outside the flats is so bad they've posted a video to try and get something done about it. brent council says the location of the rubbish pile is inaccessible to its refuse staff so it is an issue for the housing provider and landowner. while private rental properties aren't coming down in price here in london, according to one industry expert there are signs we're now past the peak growth in rents. a report from zoopla suggests annual rent growth in the capital is down from 17% a year ago to 9%. it also says the number of properties in london having their asking price reduced is also higher, with 10% of listings last month having reductions of around 5%. london's first fully electric ferry service could be on its way, if new plans are approved. thames clippers has won funding from the government

for the new ferry, which would travel between canary wharf and rotherhithe. if approved by southwark and tower hamlets councils, the boat will replace the current diesel one. the service is expected to operate from february 2025. a family in walworth who've lit up their house for 25 years with thousands of christmas lights say they hope this year will be the best ever for donations. gunaltay mustafa's house on albany road comes to life every year to help raise money for the anthony nolan trust. it helped save the life of their son who had lukaemia when he was a boy. as well as raising money, the family want the lights to bring some festive cheer to their neighbourhood. even in like, dark times. and even though people can have a rough time at times, there's always a bit ofjoy that you can have. and even the smallest things can bring a smile to someone's face. let's take a look at the tubes now. we've got severe delays on thejubilee and the north—western section of the metropolitan lines. and the piccadilly line has minor

delays between kings cross st pancras and cockfosters. time for a look at the weather now, here's georgie palmer. good morning. quite a bit of rain around over the next few days, but the early signs are calming down for the weekend. more about that in just a moment. for today, we're looking at squally showers, some fairly gusty winds and some brighter spells in between. so definitely worth having an umbrella to hand if you are heading out. those showers actually could bring us some rumbles of thunder and lightning later this afternoon. but, like i said, in between some dry spells but staying pretty cloudy with highs of 11 celsius. overnight tonight, dry at first, but due to low pressure, we'll see further showers spilling in through the early hours. but actually feeling a bit cooler compared to last night with overnight lows of 6, maybe 7 celsius. but tomorrow, it's an improving picture. still quite a few showers around, but actually feeling cooler tomorrow, cooler for thursday and friday. and thanks to high pressure building at the moment, like i said, the early signs are that the weekend will remain more settled with some sunny spells.

have a great day. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website and over on our socials. just search bbc london to find us on facebook, instagram and x. i'm back with more in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back to sally and jon, goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. a last attempt to butter up potential tory rebels. rishi sunak hosts a breakfast meeting to persuade mps to vote for his rwanda bill tonight. tense negotiations through the night at cop28 as a draft deal that excludes phasing out fossil fuels is met with outrage. we'll speak to labour leader sir keir starmer as he tries to appeal to tory voters in a speech marking four years since the 2019 election.

harmful and unfair. the regulator ofcom proposes banning mid—term price hikes on mobile phone and broadband contracts linked to inflation, i'll have the latest. league football in turkey is suspended after a referee is punched to the ground by a club president following a top—flight game last night. and after a fantastic year of sport, we'll reveal the contenders for bbc sports personality of the year. good morning. for england, wales and northern ireland, rain clearing, followed by a fair bit of clout, limited brightness and heavy and potentially thundery showers. scotland has a cloudy day with a on and off, brighter skies in the north west. all of the details later in the programme —— a cloudy day with rain on and off in scotland. it's tuesday the 12th of december.

rishi sunak is hosting a breakfast meeting at downing street, to convince potential conservative rebels to back his flagship rwanda bill, ahead of a vote later. the legislation to send some asylum seekers to the east african country has proven controversial and a revolt ofjust 29 of the prime minister's mps would be enough to defeat the bill, as our political correspondent iain watson reports. is rishi sunak in danger of losing control of his policy to stop the boats? there's a crucial vote in parliament today on his new plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. but mps on the right of his party are worried that this won't stop the courts from getting clogged up with legal challenges. and some have called for his legislation to be scrapped altogether. i don't think that the bill is easily amendable. and really i think that the government needs to review it and maybe consider a completely new piece of legislation

because this leaves so many gaps in the legislation. so this morning, the prime minister is trying to butter up some of his critics over breakfast in downing street. it's maybe not what you'd normally talk about over coffee, but he'll try to convince them that legal challenges would be few and far between, and he'll say any delay to his plan would reduce the chances of migrant flights to rwanda before the next general election. a series of former cabinet ministers, including those with legal knowledge, have been taking to the airwaves to call for support. this is a very strong bill. it's a very muscular assertion of parliamentary sovereignty. i don't, myself i'm surprised that my colleagues feel it's so porous to legal challenge, because it seems to me that it's been drafted very tightly. there's a very narrow window for legal challenge. i think it's about as far as you could go without risking the complete blockage and collapse of the bill.

last night, rishi sunak was given a boost when a centrist one nation group of mps said they'd back him in today's commons vote. but they also warned that support could be withdrawn if he makes concessions to his breakfast guests on the right of the party. we've said, you've come within an inch of what we can sort of stomach, but if you go any further, we won't stomach it. so as i say, we will vote for second reading. we think it's clearly important for the stability of the government that we do that, but we're not going to support anything in the future that threatens our international obligations. if rishi sunak wins tonight's vote, mps will then be given a chance to propose changes to his plan. so the debates and the division are likely to continue leaving the prime minister walking a wavering political tightrope. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in downing street where mps will shortly be arriving for breakfast with

the prime minister. henry, this is not about the food, is it? ., �* , ., henry, this is not about the food, is it? ., �*, ., ., henry, this is not about the food, isit? ., �*, ., ., is it? no, it's not! i mean, you couldn't— is it? no, it's not! i mean, you couldn't move _ is it? no, it's not! i mean, you couldn't move yesterday - is it? no, it's not! i mean, you couldn't move yesterday in - couldn't move yesterday in westminster for people saying, this just feels like the chaos of theresa may's attempts to get her brexit deal through all over again. there's even the same characters, remember the european research group, the erg? they are at the heart of the tory right, mps who are questioning whether this bill does what they want it to do. those are the arguments that rishi sunak is going to try to overcome in that breakfast meeting starting just behind me in 20 minutes or so. just seen rishi sunak�*s chief whip go in and some of his crucial advisors, clearly preparing early. the argument they will make it their legal advice is different to the tory right, they think it does do what they needed to do to constrain the right, appeal to those who the government might

deport to rwanda and get flights going. even if rishi sunak gets through the day, and the fact that thatis through the day, and the fact that that is in question is extraordinary because the last time the government lost a vote like this is 1986, it's worth remembering, this is not the last vote on this bill. even if it gets through today, it comes back to the house of commons, it goes to the house of lords, it probably comes back to the house of commons again for even more votes. the same arguments are litigated by the same people over and over again. yes, it really does feel like brexit again. henry, thank you very much indeed. we are getting some important news and what we pay for our phones and broadband. in the last few minutes the regulator ofcom has announced plans for tougher rules on mid—contract price—rises. they launched this review in february, as millions of customers were fac soaring bills to high rates of inflation. ben can tell us more. ofcom has described the situation as harmful and unfair on consumers and wants

to see the system overhauled. it's because currently, anyone with a broadband, mobile phone or pay tv contract is likely to see their monthly paymentsjump midway through the contract. terms and conditions often state that charges will go up in line with general price rises, or inflation, plus a bit more on top. and because inflation was much higher than normal over the past year, it means those increases are much bigger than in previous years. in fact, millions of customers will see billsjump by as much as 14% in april. the watchdog is now proposing to ban such price rises linked to inflation midway through contracts to give consumers more certainty about what they will be paying throughout the whole contract, which can often be up to 18 or 24 months. ofcom says the current situation makes it hard for people to find the best deal and unfairly puts the risk of financial uncertainty from inflation on the customer at a time when household budgets are stretched. it says many of the millions

of people affected didn't understand the price rises norfactor them in when first taking out the contracts. so it wants companies to set out any possible price rises up front, clearly in pounds and pence rather than linked to inflation. it has launched a consultation on this proposed change and will make its final decisions in the spring, with new rules coming in later next year. thank you, we will get more from you, later in the programme. campaigners have written to the chief constables of norfolk and suffolk to request an investigation into thousands of mental health deaths in those areas. it's after a report by independent auditors found as many as 8,440 patients had died unexpectedly over three years. norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust said it had started a review of patient deaths. campaigners are making a final bid in the high court today to stop a road tunnel being built

near stonehenge as they argue the work could cause "irreversible damage" to the archaeological site. it's the second time they've tried to block the work on the a303, after successfully challenging the first proposal two years ago. the tunnel was approved again injuly, as part of a £1.7 billion scheme. rapid rises in the cost of renting have already peaked although tenants will still have to pay more next year. that's according to the latest report from the property portal zoopla, which suggests rent on new lets rose by nearly 10% in october, with average rent at £1,200 a month. as negotiations at the un's climate summit reach their last day, another version of the final agreement is being prepared after an early draft was condemned for being "weak". some nations reacted furiously to the draft text, which did not call for a phase—out

of fossilfuels. we're joined now by our climate editorjustin rowlatt. good morning, you are in dubai, a critic and all the talking going on between different nations, are they —— you are in hubei, justin, all this talking going on between different nations, they are going to come up with anything? i different nations, they are going to come up with anything?— different nations, they are going to come up with anything? i hope so, we are nine minutes _ come up with anything? i hope so, we are nine minutes over— come up with anything? i hope so, we are nine minutes over the _ come up with anything? i hope so, we are nine minutes over the deadline, i are nine minutes over the deadline, we havejust got are nine minutes over the deadline, we have just got over 9am —— 11am dubai time. instead of getting rid of fossilfuels which dubai time. instead of getting rid of fossil fuels which was in the original text we had this new chinese menu where we could choose lots of things to do but you could choose not to do them, which is a lot weaker. the climate vulnerable nations like small island state were not happy. the strong language was

stripped out by oil producing countries like saudi arabia, iraq, and bolivia was another one. but a lot of developing countries say, look, the oil producing countries have stripped out the strong language on fossil fuels but at the same time developed countries are not delivering on their promises for finance. climate change was caused by your industrial revolution, they say, it's affecting us and you need to help us deal with that and invest in the infrastructure we need to replace fossil fuels if you want to get rid of them. there is a big debate here about a really fundamental issue of fairness around this whole climate issue, which, i hate to say, makes these discussions even more complicated and likely to last even longer.— last even longer. justin, thank you very much — last even longer. justin, thank you very much indeed. _ last even longer. justin, thank you very much indeed. and _ last even longer. justin, thank you very much indeed. and we - last even longer. justin, thank you very much indeed. and we will. last even longer. justin, thank you very much indeed. and we will go | very much indeed. and we will go straight back tojustin if very much indeed. and we will go straight back to justin if there very much indeed. and we will go straight back tojustin if there are straight back to justin if there are any straight back tojustin if there are any developments. sir keir starmer will tell voters later today that changes he's made to labour have been to "restore the party to the service of working people".

the labour leader will go on to say the government's rwanda plan is "political performance art" that will "never work". sir keir starmerjoins us now from milton keynes. good morning. so, labourvoting against the rwanda bill today, can you just explain to us what your alternative might be?— you just explain to us what your alternative might be? yes, i think it's very important _ alternative might be? yes, i think it's very important for _ alternative might be? yes, i think it's very important for me - alternative might be? yes, i think it's very important for me to - alternative might be? yes, i think it's very important for me to be i it's very important for me to be clear that we must stop the small boat crossings across the channel, these dangerous crossings. the government had lost control of our borders and we need to do something about it. ifirmly borders and we need to do something about it. i firmly believe that the most important thing that we can do, the most effective thing that we can do, is to smash the criminal gangs, and they are criminal gangs, that are running this vile trade of putting people in boats in the first place. before i became a politician, i was the chief prosecutor for england and wales, and i was involved injoint england and wales, and i was involved in joint operations with other countries to take down

terrorist gangs, to take down gangs that were trafficking people across borders, this can be done. we need to stop people making that crossing in the first place. second thing i would say is that where people do arrive in the uk, we have got to process the claims. i think anybody watching this would be astonished to learn that all the people that arrived by small boat in the last year also, arrived by small boat in the last yearalso, only 1% arrived by small boat in the last year also, only 1% have actually had their claims processed. that's appalling. and the third thing, of course, is that where people fail in their claims, they should be removed to the country they came from as swiftly as possible. that's a practical, you might call it mundane plan. what i would not do and what i will not vote for is £290 million spent on a gimmick that is the rwanda scheme, that won't work at the very most, will take about 100 people. we have 160,000 people, waiting for their asylum claims to

be processed. it is a drop in the ocean. it cost a fortune. and as we learn from the premise that when he finally admitted it last week, the deal he struck will also involve rwanda sending their refugees across to the united kingdom. it's a gimmick, it won't work, it is performance art. what i would do is do the more mundane, sleeves rolled up, practicalwork do the more mundane, sleeves rolled up, practical work to stop this vile trade in the first place. lets up, practical work to stop this vile trade in the first place.— trade in the first place. lets talk about the practical— trade in the first place. lets talk about the practical mundane - trade in the first place. lets talk. about the practical mundane stuff, shall we? will you be putting more money into thejudicial shall we? will you be putting more money into the judicial system, into the immigration system, as a result of what you are talking about, which will have extra workload? what of what you are talking about, which will have extra workload?— will have extra workload? what we would do is — will have extra workload? what we would do is the _ will have extra workload? what we would do is the money _ will have extra workload? what we would do is the money being - will have extra workload? what we | would do is the money being wasted on the rwanda scheme, we would use that for extra policing, cross—border policing with a special unit to smash these gangs. let me explain how that would work. the boats that are being used to cross the channel are now effectively being made to order so they are being made to order so they are being stored in europe, brought to

the coast, and they are being used. it is possible to smash that trade, that criminal activity. we have done it before, when it came to terrorist activity, we have done it before when it came to drugrunning or gun—running. i've been involved in this project, i know how they work. that's where i think all of our effort should be placed, to stop people arriving in the first place. but wasting our money on what is now becoming a complete argument in the tory party, i was listening to your programme before, who said this, who is waiting for that, lots of tory mps positioning themselves within their own party, completely obsessed with themselves. meanwhile, many people watching this will be going into christmas worried about the cost of living crisis, not able to pay for the christmas that they might have wanted, really worried because we have got 7.7 million people on the nhs waiting lists. and then we turn into 2024, and for 2.3

million people, that means coming off a fixed mortgage payment, monthly payment, onto a different mortgage which is bound to cost them hundreds of pounds more per month because of the damage this government has done to our economy. so in the real world, there are real challenges going on, and this government is completely obsessed with itself yet again. flan government is completely obsessed with itself yet again.— with itself yet again. can i talk ou to with itself yet again. can i talk you to some — with itself yet again. can i talk you to some real _ with itself yet again. can i talk you to some real numbers - with itself yet again. can i talk i you to some real numbers again? with itself yet again. can i talk - you to some real numbers again? i will go back to the boats, the 11th of december, 29,000 people across the english channel this year, compared to 45,000 last year, the government would say that is a success. i government would say that is a success. ., , y government would say that is a success. ., , , ., �* government would say that is a success. ., , y ., �* ~ government would say that is a success. ., , , ., �* ~ ., success. i honestly don't think that the government _ success. i honestly don't think that the government can _ success. i honestly don't think that the government can say _ success. i honestly don't think that the government can say 29,000 i success. i honestly don't think that - the government can say 29,000 people arriving on small boat... it’s a arriving on small boat... it's a reduction- _ arriving on small boat... it's a reduction. it's _ arriving on small boat... it's a reduction. it's a _ arriving on small boat... it's a reduction. it's a reduction - arriving on small boat... it's a reduction. it's a reduction but| arriving on small boat... it's a i reduction. it's a reduction but to success is _ reduction. it's a reduction but to success is not _ reduction. it's a reduction but to success is not the _ reduction. it's a reduction but to success is not the label- reduction. it's a reduction but to success is not the label i - reduction. it's a reduction but to success is not the label i would l reduction. it's a reduction but to i success is not the label i would put on it. it's still a very high number, higherthan it on it. it's still a very high number, higher than it was years ago. i accept it has come down a

bit. ithink ago. i accept it has come down a bit. i think partly the reason for thatis bit. i think partly the reason for that is because there has been a deal done with albania for returns. this is something we called for a long time ago, which is process, fast track if you like, the claims where you know you can let people —— send people back and get on with it. this is another example of the practical measures we need to take. i don't think the government spokesperson will come in your programme and say it's a real success, we have let 30,000 people into the country in an uncontrolled way because we have not got control of these channel crossings. that's not success, that continued failure. what you are talking about, you seem to be talking about potential returns policy within the district with the eu. the government says if we enter into a situation with a migrant crater with the eu, the uk could take 100,000 migrants every year, is that something you would agree to? year, is that something you would a . ree to? ., , year, is that something you would aaree to? ., , ., ,, agree to? the government is talking nonsense, nobody _ agree to? the government is talking nonsense, nobody is _ agree to? the government is talking

nonsense, nobody is talking - agree to? the government is talking nonsense, nobody is talking about i nonsense, nobody is talking about 100,000 migrants coming here under an eu deal. that has never been... so how many would you accept, what is the number you will accept? that is the number you will accept? that is 'ust is the number you will accept? that is just completely _ is the number you will accept? t'isgt isjust completely made up. what we is just completely made up. what we have seen, if you actually take the albania returns agreement, that is simply a fast track to return people to albania. i think other schemes like that could be struck. i propose that we do a similar scheme in india. that doesn't actually involve us taking anyone from those countries. it does involve us dispatching people quickly to the countries that they came from. but we have got to get a grip of this. at the moment, with 160,000 people waiting to be processed, there is a very simple bureaucratic question that the government is failing on, which is get these claims processed. the result of not processing them as your viewers will know is that we have got thousands upon thousands of people in hotels, costing the

taxpayer a fortune, all waiting for their claims to be processed. this is an intolerable situation that the government has put us in. me is an intolerable situation that the government has put us in. we know from research _ government has put us in. we know from research that _ government has put us in. we know from research that these _ government has put us in. we know from research that these small - government has put us in. we knowl from research that these small boats issueis from research that these small boats issue is something that tory voters are very, very much concerned about. when looking at labour voters, they are perhaps less concerned about this. when you make a speech today, are you actually talking to people who might normally vote conservative?— who might normally vote conservative? , ., ~' conservative? yes, look, i do think eve one conservative? yes, look, i do think everyone is— conservative? yes, look, i do think everyone is concerned _ conservative? yes, look, i do think everyone is concerned about - conservative? yes, look, i do think everyone is concerned about this, i everyone is concerned about this, nobody likes to see a situation in which the government has lost control of our borders, whichever way they voted. but what i'm going to do today, today is the four—year anniversary if you can believe it of the 2019 election. and i'm going to compare and contrast the change that we brought about in the labour party, we have changed the labour party, we have changed the labour party fundamentally, so that it is can —— a party ready to serve, ready to stand for the country, has got a

plan for the future. compare that for years on the conservative party thatis for years on the conservative party that is fighting amongst itself, self indulgently, people positioning themselves for some future leadership race, instead of concentrating on the issues that the country is facing. and so my main point today is to say, look, the country desperately needs change. i think many people feel that almost nothing is working. the tories can't provide that change, they are the problem, they have already failed. labour has changed as a party, we have spent four years changing the labour party will stop its unrecognisable from the party of four years ago today at the general election again. and we have got a plan for national renewal to take our country forward. notjust plan for national renewal to take our country forward. not just fix the problems now but take our country forward. my plea is to anyone, whichever way they vote. if you want to be part of a project of national renewal, to take your country forward, get us out of the hole we are in at the moment, then

there is a place with you, for you on our mission for the future of our country. on our mission for the future of our count . ., ., . ., ., country. you said the word change an awful lot in — country. you said the word change an awful lot in that _ country. you said the word change an awful lot in that answer, _ country. you said the word change an awful lot in that answer, i _ country. you said the word change an awful lot in that answer, i didn't - awful lot in that answer, i didn't count but many times. last week you spoke about margaret thatcher and how she delivered meaningful change. are you alienating perhaps your core of labour voters by even mentioning her name? i of labour voters by even mentioning her name? ., a, ., her name? i mentioned margaret thatcher as _ her name? i mentioned margaret thatcher as one _ her name? i mentioned margaret thatcher as one of _ her name? i mentioned margaret thatcher as one of the _ her name? i mentioned margaret thatcher as one of the three - her name? i mentioned margaret i thatcher as one of the three leaders post the second world war who had a driving sense of mission or plan. clement attlee obviously, the prime minister after the second world war had a plan for a newjerusalem, a rebuilding of our country after the war. thatcher had a plan. i didn't agree with what she did, but i do concede that she had a plan, a sense of purpose. i think it was the wrong plan but she had a sense of purpose. and tony blair of course in 1997,

the optimism of turning into a new century. and i want an incoming labour government if we are privileged enough to serve, if we are elected in, to have a sense of driving mission of the change. because i think what we seen in the past 13 years is just drift, where the economy isn't working, our public services aren't working. there is no sense of purpose. i would ask, you know, the question, does anybody, does anybody watching this field better off now than they did 13 years ago when this government started as a government? ijust want to government started as a government? i just want to bring you government started as a government? ijust want to bring you back government started as a government? i just want to bring you back to margaret thatcher for one more moment and ask you on a scale of one to ten, just how successful you think she was and how much do you admire her?— think she was and how much do you admire her?_ you i admire her? well, look,... you mentioned _ admire her? well, look,... you mentioned her— admire her? well, look,... you mentioned her name. - admire her? well, look,... you mentioned her name. she i admire her? well, look,... you mentioned her name. she was| mentioned her name. she was successful— mentioned her name. she was successful in _ mentioned her name. she was successful in the _ mentioned her name. she was successful in the wrong - mentioned her name. she was| successful in the wrong things. mentioned her name. she was i successful in the wrong things. she had a driving sense, what i was saying was she had a driving sense of purpose to unleash the

entrepreneurial spirit. you have to concede that to her. it doesn't mean i agree with what she did, or admire her. but i do think that she is in stark contrast, frankly, with the five prime ministers we have had in the past 13 years, who have had no sense of direction all plan or mission. although i disagree with margaret thatcher i do concede that she had a plan, she had a mission and she knew what she was trying to achieve. 5ir and she knew what she was trying to achieve. ,, ,, ., ., achieve. sir keir starmer, thanks very much _ achieve. sir keir starmer, thanks very much indeed _ achieve. sir keir starmer, thanks very much indeed for— achieve. sir keir starmer, thanks very much indeed for talking i achieve. sir keir starmer, thanks very much indeed for talking to i achieve. sir keir starmer, thanks i very much indeed for talking to us, thank you. very much indeed for talking to us, thank ou. . ~ very much indeed for talking to us, thank ou. ., ,, i. very much indeed for talking to us, thank you— for- very much indeed for talking to us, thank you._ for years i thank you. thank you. for years since the _ thank you. thank you. for years since the last _ thank you. thank you. for years since the last general— thank you. thank you. for years since the last general election. | since the last general election. hasn't it flown! it since the last general election. hasn't it flown!— hasn't it flown! it feels like campaign _ hasn't it flown! it feels like campaign is _ hasn't it flown! it feels like campaign is already - hasn't it flown! it feels like campaign is already underl hasn't it flown! it feels like i campaign is already under way hasn't it flown! it feels like - campaign is already under way the next one. we will talk to the new immigration minister in the next few minutes about the votes tonight and rishi sunak�*s position. in the last few minutes we've heard how the regulator ofcom is going to crack down on mid—contract price rises for phone and broadband customers. ben's got the latest.

morning. when you take out a new broadband and phone contract do you look at the terms and conditions and look at the terms and conditions and look at the terms and conditions and look at when the price rise will be, which month it will be kicking in, look at the inflation figures and get out your calculator? no, nor do many people. mid—contract price rises, ofcom says, are harmful on consumers and it is proposing a crackdown. let's talk to melanie from ofcom. explain your proposal and what difference it will make to our viewers watching at home this morning. our viewers watching at home this morninu. . ~ our viewers watching at home this morninu. ., ,, i. our viewers watching at home this morninu. ., ~' ,, ~' our viewers watching at home this morninu. . ~ ,, ~' ,, our viewers watching at home this morninu. . ~ ,, ~ i. ., morning. thank you, i think you have ex-ended morning. thank you, i think you have expended very _ morning. thank you, i think you have expended very well. _ morning. thank you, i think you have expended very well. we _ morning. thank you, i think you have expended very well. we have - morning. thank you, i think you have expended very well. we have got i morning. thank you, i think you have expended very well. we have got a i expended very well. we have got a pretty healthy market for mobile and broadband, lots of good deals out there, increasingly you can get fibre in your home for example. but we have been really worried about these mid—contract price rises linked to inflation because they ratchet up prices during the contract in a way that people often

weren't anticipating and they find it really confusing, they can't work out what it means for what they are going to pay. so we proposed a ban that practice and require providers in the future to set out what you will pay in pounds and pence at the beginning so that you can see really clearly what you are signing up to. is this not coming a little bit too late to help many people who still, in april just late to help many people who still, in apriljust gone, many of those billsjump by as much in apriljust gone, many of those bills jump by as much as 14%, because inflation was so high? the contract allowed for inflation and a bit more on top for the contract to go up. this won't undo any of that, it will not help people already struggling with price rises. brute it will not help people already struggling with price rises. we have been putting _ struggling with price rises. we have been putting a _ struggling with price rises. we have been putting a lot _ struggling with price rises. we have been putting a lot of _ struggling with price rises. we have been putting a lot of pressure i struggling with price rises. we have been putting a lot of pressure on i been putting a lot of pressure on the industry about this over the last couple of years because we have been concerned about it and that's why we are now acting today. it's a pretty strong step from ofcom to actually go in and interfere about how prices are decided over your contract. we want to movie is very fast, much faster than usual,

because we don't think we need to allow for countries —— companies to implement this, we do think it's complicated. in future this very confusing kind of contact will not be allowed for customers. i get an e-mail from _ be allowed for customers. i get an e-mail from my — be allowed for customers. i get an e-mail from my mobile _ be allowed for customers. i get an e-mailfrom my mobile phone i be allowed for customers. i get an i e-mailfrom my mobile phone provider e—mailfrom my mobile phone provider every february, i won't name them, but they say, your bill will go up in april, inflation linked this month plus a bit more on top. will your new rules come in in time to help other people avoid similar price hike this coming april? late price hike this coming april? we cannot price hike this coming april? - cannot change prices for contracts that are already there. so if you are already signed up to a contract, that will continue. but what we will do is make sure that a new contract within the year are not affected by these very consuming terms, sorry, confusing terms. can ijust say, we are not trying to actually stop prices going up over a contract because that might mean that you don't get the discount at the beginning and we do love a good deal, we don't want to see the death

of the discount. what we want to see the end of his confusing way of presenting links to people. is there a dancer, presenting links to people. is there a danger. no. _ presenting links to people. is there a danger, no, that _ presenting links to people. is there a danger, no, that if— presenting links to people. is there a danger, no, that if the _ presenting links to people. is there a danger, no, that if the mobile i presenting links to people. is there | a danger, no, that if the mobile and broadband companies cannot link mid—contract price rises to inflation, they owe on the side of being overly cautious and put in a price rise that will be even higher, perhaps, then inflation would have been? , , �*, been? this is where in the end it's a very competitive _ been? this is where in the end it's a very competitive industry. i been? this is where in the end it's a very competitive industry. so i been? this is where in the end it's| a very competitive industry. so the best way to make sure that people aren't ripped off is to make sure that you have got enough companies out there offering deals. there actually is there in the uk, and overall we have seen prices fall by 33% on mobile over the last five years so things are getting cheaper overall compared to the other things we have to buy. i think in the end of the competition is there to keep companies honest but we want to remove this very confusing inflation based way of presenting things to the consumer. you based way of presenting things to the consumer.— based way of presenting things to the consumer. you described it as unfair, the consumer. you described it as unfair. the — the consumer. you described it as unfair, the current _

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm paul murphy—kasp. students in brent say they're living in filthy, rat—infested conditions because of a dispute between the owners of their halls of residence and maintenance contractors. the rubbish pile outside the flats is so bad they've posted a video to try and get something done about it. brent council says the location of the rubbish pile is inaccessible to its refuse staff so it is an issue for the housing provider and landowner. thames water bosses will answer more questions on the firms financial stability today — following recent reports about its finances. just a week ago, thames water said that reviving the business would "take time" — as it reported sliding profits and an increase in its huge debt pile. mps say they'll try to shed some light on the future financial viability of the company. london's first fully electric ferry service could be on its way, if new plans are approved.

thames clippers has won funding from the government for the new ferry, which would travel between canary wharf and rotherhithe. if approved by southwark and tower hamlets councils, the boat will replace the current diesel one. the service is expected to operate from february 2025. a family in walworth who've lit up their house for 25 years with thousands of christmas lights say they hope this year will be the best ever for donations. gunaltay mustafa's house on albany road comes to life every year to help raise money for the anthony nolan trust. it helped save the life of their son who had lukaemia when he was a boy. as well as raising money, the family want the lights to bring some festive cheer to their neighbourhood. even in like, dark times. and even though people can have a rough time at times, there's always a bit ofjoy that you can have. and even the smallest things can bring a smile to someone's face. let's take a look at the tubes now — we've got severe delays on thejubilee line and the north—western section of the metropolitan line.

and there are also minor delays on both the central and piccadilly lines. time for a look at the weather now, here's georgie palmer. good morning. quite a bit of rain around over the next few days, but the early signs are calming down for the weekend. more about that in just a moment. for today, we're looking at squally showers, some fairly gusty winds and some brighter spells in between. so definitely worth having an umbrella to hand if you are heading out. those showers actually could bring us some rumbles of thunder and lightning later this afternoon. but, like i said, in between some dry spells but staying pretty cloudy with highs of 11 celsius. overnight tonight, dry at first, but due to low pressure, we'll see further showers spilling in through the early hours. but actually feeling a bit cooler compared to last night with overnight lows of 6, maybe 7 celsius. but tomorrow, it's an improving picture. still quite a few showers around, but actually feeling cooler tomorrow, cooler for thursday and friday. and thanks to high pressure building at the moment, like i said, the early signs are that the weekend will remain more settled with some sunny spells. have a great day.

that's it for now but if you head over to bbc sounds, you can find out more on why this years christmas carols at the colombia road market in east london have been cancelled. i'm back with more in half an hour, but for now, i'll hand you back to sally and jon — goodbye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. conservative mps are gathering at number ten this morning, as the prime minister tries to persuade potential tory rebels to back the government's rwanda bill in a vote tonight. we can speak live to the new minister for illegal migration michael tomlinson. he got thatjob when robertjenrick resigned last week. he now has responsibility for getting the bill through parliament. morning to you. seems to be a real risk this bill

the referee was taken to hospital. the referee was taken to hospital. the president injured as well. the turkish fa called it a night of shame for football turkish fa called it a night of shame forfootball in turkish fa called it a night of shame for football in that country. referee halil umut meler was knocked down by mke ankaragujew president faruk koca, who ran on to the pitch after his team conceded a 97th—minute equaliser in their 1—1 super lig draw with chaikur rizespor. meler received several blows from others as he lay on the pitch. further scuffles followed. like the referee, the club president also required treatment in hospital but "detention procedures will be carried out" that's a quote from turkey's minister of internal affairs. we have had president ada gannon sang he contends the attack. galatasaray has called for an emergency meeting saying violence is a growing issue in the game. it comes with football currently in greece being played behind closed doors because of growing concerns

around violence. manchester united's champions league fate will be decided tonight. they have to beat the winners of their group — bayern munich — and hope that the other game, between fc copenhagen and galatasaray ends in a draw. erik ten hag's side go into this evening's game off the back of a humbling 3—0 defeat to bournmouth in the premier league on saturday. on the plus side bayern and harry kane lost 5—1 at the weekend in germany. united are bottom of their champions league group after three defeats in five matches but their manager says they can beat anyone, if they're in the "right spirit" and says he has faith that the united fans will bring the atmosphere they need at old trafford tonight. old trafford is not a nice place to come for an opponent. we are aware of it. it starts with us. of course then you hope the defence, we are together. as long as i am here, i always had the feeling we are absolutely together. there is a very

strong bond between the team and the defence. they are always behind us, even when we have big setbacks. well, on top of their shaky form, united have harry kane to contend with — he's back for his first club match in this country since his move from tottenham to bayern munich. he's scored four goals for them in the champions league this season and 22 overall in 19 games. his manager now is the former chelsea boss thomas tuchel. i think every fan would wish for harry kane in their team. that is why we are very proud that we managed to seduce him, we managed to steal him from premier league and from english football. the skipper of the national team. a big, big personality. the pressure is off for arsenal, who are already assured of top spot in their group, but after a strong start to the season, they've looked a little more vulnerable of late. they're away to psv eindhoven, who are guaranteed second place, so we could well see some

changes and they've taken three academy players with them to the netherlands. one in five players at the 2023 women's world cup received discriminatory, abusive or threatening messaging, a report has revealed. players at the tournament which spain won were 29% more likely to be targeted than those at the last men's world cup. the findings released by governing body fifa and players' union fifpro showed 637 abusive messages were linked to the final between england and spain. united states and argentina players suffered the most abuse. you may remember the row when england fans couldn't buy a mary earps goalkeeper replica shirt during the women's world cup this summer, after the kit supplier nike failed to produce any. earps won the golden glove for best keeper at the world cup and eventually, after a backlash, her replica shirt was released in october, selling out quickly. another batch was released yesterday morning — but they sold out in five minutes, leading to calls for more to be released. it's understood that the number of shirts available was comparable with the amount of goalkeeper kits

on the website for previous men's tournaments. a lot of people on social media frustrated. they got up early to get the kit yesterday morning and could not buy it. the kit yesterday morning and could not bu it. , ., ~ , ., a lot of people get up early to find out who has been nominated for the sports personality of the year award. we will reveal that in a few minutes' time. a lot of people get up minutes' time. a lot of people get up earlyjust to see carol. let's find out if it is worth it. ida find out if it is worth it. no pressure- _ find out if it is worth it. in? pressure. thank you, both. if you are setting out it is a wet stop for many of us and also cloudy. for the rest of the week it will remain blustery with some rain at times. by the end of the week it will turn

five grand slam titles across singles and doubles were won by alfie hewett. katarina johnson—thompson ran, jumped and threw her way to a brilliant heptathlon gold at the world championships, having bounced back from serious injury. rory mcilroy teed up europe's success by top scoring against the usa as they regained the ryder cup in thrilling fashion. —— the ryder cup. he also ended as europe has ranked number one. �* , ended as europe has ranked number one.�* , ended as europe has ranked number one. �* ., ended as europe has ranked number one. ~ ., . one. always said tough deciding, isn't it? not— one. always said tough deciding, isn't it? not long _ one. always said tough deciding, isn't it? not long to _ one. always said tough deciding, isn't it? not long to wait. - one. always said tough deciding, isn't it? not long to wait. is - one. always said tough deciding, isn't it? not long to wait. is it. one. always said tough deciding, isn't it? not long to wait. is it a i isn't it? not long to wait. is it a week? yes, tuesday night. clare balding, who will present the awards, joins us now. this is the day we love. we hear the names and everyone can have a debate that he was then, who could have beenin that he was then, who could have been in and who might win? it is an incredibly level _ been in and who might win? it is an

back i am sure at some major meetings. rory mcilroy, the biggest name certainly in european golf over the last 15, 20 years. he is phenomenal, a great talent. not amazing at the ryder cup. the emotional side we get to see of him, connects him to us. on a younger scale, alfie hewett has been sensational and ended the year as number one. he still has massive goals he wants to achieve in his life that he wants to win a paralympic gold medal, wants to win wimbledon. he is the reigning us open champion and has had a fantastic doubles career with gordon reid. katarina johnson—thompson, what a fantastic year for her after the injury she has had! to win a

but it looks like rocco from gateshead is a bit unsure in his christmas outfit. whereas victoria and elizabeth from surrey look proud as punch dressed up in their new seasonal scarfs. ido like i do like animals with proper names, human names. we would love more pictures of your pets as they get ready for christmas and the treats. can we just keep running that? we will have the headlines in just a moment. now time for the news, the travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. students in brent say they're living in filthy, rat infested conditions because of a dispute between the owners of their halls of residence and maintenance contractors. the rubbish pile outside the flats is so bad they've posted a video to try and get something done about it. brent council says the location of the rubbish pile is inaccessible to its refuse staff so it is an issue for the housing

while private rental properties aren't coming down in price here in london, according to one industry expert there are signs we're now past the peak growth in rents. a report from zoopla suggests annual rent growth in the capital is down from 17% a year ago to 9%. it also says the number of properties in london having their asking price reduced is also higher, with 10% of listings last month having reductions of around 5%. london's first fully electric ferry service could be on its way, if new plans are approved. thames clippers has won funding from the government for the new ferry, which would travel between canary wharf and rotherhithe. if approved by southwark and tower hamlets councils, the boat will replace the current diesel one. the service is expected to operate from february 2025. let's take a look at the tubes now. most lines are running a good service so far this morning, but on the central, jubilee and piccadilly lines we've got minor delays. now onto the weather. a dry start to the day with bright spells, but cloudier later on with some showers. highs of 12 degrees. that's it for now but there's plenty more on our website,

and i'll be back with more in about half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. a last attempt to butter up potential tory rebels rishi sunak hosts a breakfast meeting to persuade mps to vote for his rwanda bill tonight. tense negotiations through the night at cop28 as a draft deal that excludes phasing out fossil fuels is met with outrage. harmful and unfair. the regulator ofcom proposes banning mid—term price hikes linked to inflation on mobile phone and broadband contracts. i'll explain what it means for you. a potentially season defining night awaits for manchester united. erik ten hag's side have to beat harry kane and bayern munich if they're to have any hope

of staying in the champions league. and actor tobyjones joins us to tell us about his new drama depicting one of the greatest miscarriages ofjustice in british legal history, the post office scandal. good morning. rain currently clearing england, wales and northern ireland to be followed by limited brightness and some heavy, potentially thundery showers. for scotland, rain lingering on and off through the day, brighter skies in the north west. all of the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 12th of december. rishi sunak is hosting a breakfast meeting at downing street, to convince potential conservative rebels to back his flagship rwanda bill, ahead of a vote later. the legislation to send some asylum seekers to the east african country has proven controversial and a revolt ofjust 29 of the prime minister's mps would be enough to defeat the bill. our chief political correspondent

henry zeffman is in downing street. morning, henry. so, this really is a crunch breakfast meeting, isn't it? it really is, it's not the kind of talk that he would usually expect over the breakfast table. i asked someone in downing street what was on the menu, and they said, a frank conversation. about half an hour ago, 15 conservative mps walked up the street and into number 10 and it's fair to say that they come from the right of the conservative party. the two key questions today, how many more of them are there, and can rishi sunak to win the round? he is trying to win them around in there today. he is arguing that the bill meets the test that they want it to meet, it significantly constrains, rishi sunak will argue, the ability of those people the government might try to deport to appeal against that

potential deportation. as it stands many of them disagree so there is much more to come. we heard from michael tomlinson the immigration minister earlier with his argument of where hit the bill should go ahead. t0 of where hit the bill should go ahead. ., ., , ., . ahead. to govern is to choose. the prime minister _ ahead. to govern is to choose. the prime minister has _ ahead. to govern is to choose. the prime minister has chosen - ahead. to govern is to choose. the prime minister has chosen rightly l prime minister has chosen rightly that this — prime minister has chosen rightly that this is the priority, we must stop— that this is the priority, we must stop the — that this is the priority, we must stop the boats. there is a moral imperative — stop the boats. there is a moral imperative that people should not take those perilous journeys across the channel, the busiest shipping lane in _ the channel, the busiest shipping lane in the world. we have seen people — lane in the world. we have seen people dying having taken those crossings on the boats. what i haven't — crossings on the boats. what i haven't had enough of and what i hope _ haven't had enough of and what i hope to— haven't had enough of and what i hope to take to the debate this evening — hope to take to the debate this evening is that moral case. | hope to take to the debate this evening is that moral case. i don't think any of— evening is that moral case. i don't think any of conservative - evening is that moral case. i don't think any of conservative mps - evening is that moral case. i don't i think any of conservative mps having breakfast with rishi sunak in downing street right now would disagree with michael tomlinson on that moral case. it's just whether they that this bill solves the problem as they will see it. it's worth remembering one of the reasons rishi sunak is in peril here is that the labour party is going to vote

against this bill. here is keir starmer explaining why. what i wouldn't do. — starmer explaining why. what i wouldn't do, and _ starmer explaining why. what i wouldn't do, and what - starmer explaining why. what i wouldn't do, and what i - starmer explaining why. what i wouldn't do, and what i won't l starmer explaining why. what i i wouldn't do, and what i won't vote for, wouldn't do, and what i won't vote for. is _ wouldn't do, and what i won't vote for. is £290 — wouldn't do, and what i won't vote for, is £290 million spent on a gimmick— for, is £290 million spent on a gimmick that is the rwanda scheme, that wont— gimmick that is the rwanda scheme, that won't work. at the very most will take — that won't work. at the very most will take about 100 people. we have 160.000 _ will take about 100 people. we have 160,000 people waiting for their asylum _ 160,000 people waiting for their asylum claims to be processed, so it's a _ asylum claims to be processed, so it's a drop — asylum claims to be processed, so it's a drop in— asylum claims to be processed, so it's a drop in the ocean. it cost a fortune — it's a drop in the ocean. it cost a fortune and _ it's a drop in the ocean. it cost a fortune and as we learn from the prime _ fortune and as we learn from the prime minister when he finally admitted it last week, the deal he struck— admitted it last week, the deal he struck will— admitted it last week, the deal he struck will also involve rwanda sending — struck will also involve rwanda sending their refugees across to the united _ sending their refugees across to the united kingdom. take sending their refugees across to the united kingdom.— sending their refugees across to the united kingdom. take a step back and it's extraordinary _ united kingdom. take a step back and it's extraordinary that _ united kingdom. take a step back and it's extraordinary that there _ united kingdom. take a step back and it's extraordinary that there is - its extraordinary that there is even a question over whether the government might win or lose this vote tonight. no government has lost a bill at this stage in the legislative process since 1986. that gives you a sense of the gravity of the situation. i was speaking to a cabinet minister last night who said

that they thought the government would probablyjust about that they thought the government would probably just about win this vote tonight but then the bill will get bogged down later on in the house of commons or in the house of lords and never make it into law. i said to them, can rishi sunak really stagger on until october or an december general election if so? their response? no chance. thank ou, their response? no chance. thank you. henrv- _ lots of us thinking about what we play for our phones broadband. in the last few hour the regulator ofcom has announced plans for tougher rules on mid—contract price—rises. they launched this review in february, as millions of customers were facing soaring bills to high rates of inflation. ben can tell us more. ofcom has described the situation as harmful and unfair on consumers and wants to see the system overhauled. it's because currently, anyone with a broadband, mobile phone or pay tv contract is likely to see their monthly paymentsjump midway through the contract. terms and conditions often state that

charges will go up in line with general price rises, or inflation, plus a bit more on top. and because inflation was much higher than normal over the past year, it means those increases are much bigger than in previous years. in fact, millions of customers will have seen their bills jump by as much as 14% in april. the watchdog is now proposing to crack down on such price rises linked to inflation midway through contracts to give consumers more certainty about what they will be paying throughout the whole contract which can often be up to 18 or 2a months. it says many of the millions of people affected didn't understand the price rises norfactor them in when first taking out the contracts. so it wants companies to set out any possible price rises up front clearly in pounds and pence rather than linked to inflation. but ofcom admits it will be some time before customers feel the benefit of any new rules.

we can't change prices for contracts that are already there. so if you are already signed up to a contract, that will continue. but what we will do is make sure that new contracts within the year are not affected by these very consuming terms. ofcom says the current situation makes it hard for people to find the best deal and unfairly puts the risk of financial uncertainty from inflation on the customer at a time when household budgets are stretched. it has launched a consultation on the proposed changes and will make its final decisions in the spring, with new rules coming in later next year. thank you very much indeed. campaigners have written to the chief constables of norfolk and suffolk to request an investigation into thousands of mental health deaths in those areas. it's after a report by independent auditors found as many as 8,440 patients had died unexpectedly over three years. norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust said it had started

a review of patient deaths. campaigners are making a final bid in the high court today to stop a road tunnel being built near stonehenge as they argue the work could cause "irreversible damage" to the archaeological site. it's the second time they've tried to block the work on the a303, after successfully challenging the first proposal two years ago. the tunnel was approved again injuly, as part of a £1.7 billion scheme. a homeless man whose bedding was soaked by a security worker outside of a mcdonald's restaurant has said the incident left him feeling like he was "nothing". the footage has caused outrage after being shared on social media, and mcdonald's has said the "third—party security guards involved" had been "permanently removed".

aaron mccarthy told us about the moment his sleeping bag was soaked. it'sjust made me feel like i was nothing, really, do you know what i mean? it's just... i don't know what his problem was, like, i even asked him, i even said to him, "if you've got a problem, can you please tell me?" have you noticed a different attitude towards people like yourself who are homeless in recent years or months? i have done, yeah. obviously, most people think we're just all drug addicts and stuff like that, no, do you know what i mean? i don't choose to be out here, i don't want to be out here. i'm only 25 years old. as negotiations at the un's climate summit reach their last day, another version of the final agreement is being prepared after an early draft was condemned for being "weak". some nations reacted furiously to the draft text, which did not call for a phase—out of fossilfuels.

we're joined now by our climate editorjustin rowlatt. he is following every twist and turn and hejoins us from cop in dubai. they have gone beyond the deadline, they are still talking with mick yeah, we and our —— they are still talking? yeah, we and our -- they are still talkin: ? , , ., ., ., ., talking? yes, they are an hour over but i have talking? yes, they are an hour over but i have to _ talking? yes, they are an hour over but i have to say _ talking? yes, they are an hour over but i have to say they _ talking? yes, they are an hour over but i have to say they are _ but i have to say they are incredibly completed conferences. the crucial thing is the source of the emissions causing climate change but around it are other discussions about finance for building clean energy, finance for countries to adapt their economies, and these for developing countries are at least as important as that headline. lots of developing countries are saying, if you don't help us with cash, we cannot sign up to your promises with fossil fuels. cannot sign up to your promises with fossilfuels. because cannot sign up to your promises with fossil fuels. because fossil fuels are central to that economy and they say there are costs for us if we move away from them and you need to help us with them. while you have

got the oil companies, the oil rich countries i should say, dining down language on fossil fuels, at the same time developing nations are saying, developed nations are saying they want to reduce their commitments to make to finance across other bits of the discussion so there is a really complicated discussion here. above me here in these rooms appear, there is a whole suite of rooms where literally representatives of the world are trying to work through these issues to find a compromise but it really isn't easy. we are not expecting new text for a couple of hours at least. and ifear these text for a couple of hours at least. and i fear these negotiations text for a couple of hours at least. and ifear these negotiations are going to go on for a lot longer and i am already pretty exhausting its, i am already pretty exhausting its, i have to tell you! he i am already pretty exhausting its, i have to tell you!— i have to tell you! he has been there for— i have to tell you! he has been there for two _ i have to tell you! he has been there for two weeks _ i have to tell you! he has been there for two weeks following l i have to tell you! he has been i there for two weeks following every twist and turn. he has been sleeping! but we will go back to justin if there is a breakthrough. we hope he has, he has been very busy! here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. this morning it is a

five to 13 degrees, north to south. this evening and overnight, low—pressure drifts eastwards. most of the cloud and showers will become confined to eastern areas but we could see showers getting into wales and the southwest. under clearer skies across northern ireland and scotland, it's going to be cold with patchy frost in the highlands. tomorrow we have got the remnants of the low pressure pulling away. a fair bit of cloud in the south and east with patchy light rain and drizzle, out towards the west drier and brighter with more sunshine. temperatures around four to 10 degrees so tomorrow it is going to be colder than today. we degrees so tomorrow it is going to be colder than today.— degrees so tomorrow it is going to be colder than today. we have been mourned, be colder than today. we have been mourned. and _ be colder than today. we have been mourned, and we _ be colder than today. we have been mourned, and we are _ be colder than today. we have been mourned, and we are ready - be colder than today. we have been mourned, and we are ready for- be colder than today. we have been mourned, and we are ready for it, l mourned, and we are ready for it, thank you, carol! —— we have been warned! it's been described as the most widespread miscarriage ofjustice in uk history, the wrongful convictions of hundreds of sub—postmasters who were accused of stealing money because of a faulty it system. now, a new series revisits the scandal, and the actor tobyjones stars as one of the wronged postal workers who fought to raise awareness of the issue.

a i7—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder. plans to relocate more than 20,000 civil service jobs outside london will be brought forward to 2027. the government originally planned to move the roles away from capital by 2030. the plans include opening second headquarters for several departments in aberdeen, darlington and greater manchester. while private rental properties aren't coming down in price here in london, according to one industry expert there are signs we're now past the peak growth in rents. a report from zoopla suggests annual rent growth in the capital is down from 17% a year ago to 9%. it also says the number of properties in london having their asking price reduced is also higher, with 10% of listings last month having reductions of around 5%. london's first fully electric ferry service could be on its way, if new plans are approved. thames clippers has won funding from the government for the new ferry, which would travel between canary wharf and rotherhithe. if approved by southwark and tower hamlets councils, the boat will replace the current diesel one. the service is expected to operate from february 2025.

a family in walworth, who've lit up their house for 25 years with thousands of christmas lights say they hope this year will be the best ever for donations. gunaltay mustafa's house on albany road comes to life every year to help raise money for the anthony nolan trust. it helped save the life of their son who had lukaemia when he was a boy. as well as raising money, the family want the lights to bring some festive cheer to their neighbourhood. even in, like, dark times, and even though people can have a rough time at times, there's always a bit ofjoy that you can have. and even the smallest things can bring a smile to someone�*s face. let's take a look at the tubes now. we've got severe delays on the central line and minor delays on both thejubilee and piccadilly lines. time for a look at the weather now, here's georgie palmer. good morning. quite a bit of rain around over the next few days, but the early signs are calming down for the weekend. more about that in just a moment. for today, we're looking at squally showers, some fairly gusty winds and some brighter spells in between. so definitely worth having an umbrella to hand

if you are heading out. those showers actually could bring us some rumbles of thunder and lightning later this afternoon. but, like i said, in between some dry spells but staying pretty cloudy with highs of ii celsius. overnight tonight, dry at first, but due to low pressure, we'll see further showers spilling in through the early hours. but actually feeling a bit cooler compared to last night with overnight lows of 6, maybe 7 celsius. but tomorrow, it's an improving picture. still quite a few showers around, but actually feeling cooler tomorrow, coolerfor thursday and friday. and thanks to high pressure building at the moment, like i said, the early signs are that the weekend will remain more settled with some sunny spells. have a great day. that's it for now. but if you head over to bbc sounds, you can find out more on why this years christmas carols at the colombia road market in east london have been cancelled. i'm back with more in half an hour, but for now, i'll hand you back to sally

and jon — goodbye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. very nearly half past eight. thank you forjoining us this tuesday morning. as the cost of living continues to bite, it's expected that more people will use buy now pay later services to pay for their christmas this year. they allow you to spread the cost of a purchase over a period of time but there's concerns they could lead people into "unmanageable debt." ben's here with more. you can see why these are tempting. especially at this time of year when cost pressures increase anyway. especially when household budgets are stretched because of the high cost of living. many will turn to these by now, pay later option is to spread the cost of purchases. firms like lana and clear pay. you get the item when you do not pay interest you item when you do not pay interest y°u pay item when you do not pay interest

you pay off in instalments. the problem comes when people struggle to make the repayments mess these can sometimes be charged by people saying they are not given enough time to pay the money back and it is tricky if things go wrong for them. it is really underscored by the fact that debt charities say more families than ever will really be struggling with the cost of christmas this year. our cost of living correspondent has been looking at the way people use these schemes. well, it's buy now and debt later, isn't it? chantelle has grown up buying now and paying later. she signed up to spread her first payment nearly ten years ago when she wasjust i7. the payments add up, so you pay the £300 this month, you still owe £300 the next month, and then you buy more stuff, that is going to keep going up and up. so at that stage you were thousands of pounds in debt? yeah, i owed over 3,000 on the very, a few hundred on the klarna. did itjust feel like free money to you? it's funny you say that,

because that was literally what i used to say. it was free money because it is, even though i had to pay it back, mentally, i wasn't thinking that. i wasjust thinking, "oh my god, they'll let me have this money. i can buy something and i can worry about paying it back another time." once you miss a payment, that's it. you're just down the rabbit hole and it's really hard to get out of. so it was affecting your mental health as well as your financial health? yeah, absolutely. it wasjust giving me anxiety and it didn't just affect my mental health, it affected me socially going out with my friends as well, because i was just always thinking, can i actually afford to pay for this, at the end of the meal, or i was having to borrow, or i was not being able to go out at alt _ but when chantelle got a newjob, she totally shifted her attitude to money as well. that's when i decided, no, i'm just going to save up, start saving all my wages, pay these debts off. and then that hard—earned money is going to be mine. and that's exactly what i did and it's the best thing i've ever done. the hardest thing is making that call, right, something's got to change, isn't it? absolutely. people would just say that i'm stupid and young and dumb, and i appreciate that

because i was a little bit irresponsible with it. but getting out of that... it's hard, i think it is an addiction, it is an addiction, shopping is an addiction. and using these buy now pay laters, it becomes a routine, you're comfortable with it. if they even looked at my bank statements and things like that, they'd have seen that i probably didn't have enough money to pay back what i was borrowing. but they didn't look. theyjust didn't look, they don't look. and that's the nub of the issue for debt charities. with no regulation from the government, they're seeing more people falling into problem debt without realising. it's being sold really aggressively at the point that you check out online. it means that you're not necessarily seeing all of the terms and conditions as clearly as you would when you take out a credit card. i think we are now at the point where the government are dragging their feet on this. the financial conduct authority has welcomed plans to regulate buy now pay later. the government had previously said that it was its intention to regulate buy now pay later, and we simply can't wait much longer for action on this. that's exactly what chantelle thinks, too.

how many more people must get in debt before they bring the regulations in? i don't think that's fair whatsoever. something needs to be done now, because the longer they wait, the more people get in debt. you shouldn't be able to have one of these buy now pay laters, pay it back and have nothing left in your bank. it shouldn't be like that. the government have told me they think that when used appropriately, buy now pay later can be a useful way for people to manage their finances. but chantelle�*s worried lots of people don't use it that way, and she's hoping they can learn from her mistakes. coletta smith, bbc news in birmingham. we should say statements were given from klarna and clear pay. a spokesperson for klarna says it sends reminders so customers know what they need to pay back and when.

clear pain tells customers only to buy what they can afford. rosi avis, from citizens advice, joins us now. one of our viewers took issue with my description earlier when i described it as a life—saver. she said, no its not, it puts families injets for the rest said, no its not, it puts families in jets for the rest of the year, debts they cannot pay. she in jets for the rest of the year, debts they cannot pay. she does have a bit of a point- _ debts they cannot pay. she does have a bit of a point. it _ debts they cannot pay. she does have a bit of a point. it can _ debts they cannot pay. she does have a bit of a point. it can be _ a bit of a point. it can be incredibly difficult for people. one staple _ incredibly difficult for people. one staple behind the repayment it is incredibly difficult to get back on your feet — incredibly difficult to get back on your feet. about 15 million people are going — your feet. about 15 million people are going to be turning to buy now pay leter— are going to be turning to buy now pay later to — are going to be turning to buy now pay later to cover the cost of christmas. forfamilies pay later to cover the cost of christmas. for families essentially financially — christmas. for families essentially financially on the ropes, it can be very difficult for them to have any other_ very difficult for them to have any other option. very difficult for them to have any other option-— very difficult for them to have any other option. when there are those recious, other option. when there are those precious, especially _ other option. when there are those precious, especially at _ other option. when there are those precious, especially at this - other option. when there are those precious, especially at this time - other option. when there are those precious, especially at this time of| precious, especially at this time of year, if not better to have a system where people can get items and pay 0% interest whereas otherwise they might put it on a credit card with a

all league football in turkey has been suspended indefinitely after extraordinary scenes in the turkish super league. a referee was punched to the ground by a club president following a top—flight game last night. the referee was halil umut meler and he was hit by mke ankaragujew president faruk koca, who ran on to the pitch after his team conceded a 97th—minute equaliser in their i—i draw with chaikur rizespor. meler received several blows from others as he lay on the ground. further scuffles followed. like the referee, the club president also required treatment in hospital but "detention procedures will be carried out" says turkey's minister of internal affairs. president erdogan says he condemns the violence. galatasaray, one of turkey's biggest clubs, had already called for an emergency meeting before the incident saying violence is a growing issue in the turkish game. it's a potentially season—defining few days for manchester united, with games against bayern munich and liverpool. tonight, at old trafford, united have to beat the german champions — harry kane and all — if they're to have any chance of staying in the champions league. on top of that, they need the other game in their group between fc copenhagen and galatasaray to end

in a draw. patrick gearey reports: commentator: a dismal, _ miserable day for manchester united. commentator: manchester united have been thoroughly beaten. _ commentator: it's going to pile the pressure on erik ten hag. - not one of them were fit to wear the shirt. there's a disconcerting echo around manchester united this season, repetitive but unignorable. now, in the champions league, things are coming to a head. even victory against bayern munich might not be enough to keep them in it. not worth thinking about, according to the manager. we think positive, so we know what to do. we have to win to stay in europe. so it's all about that. so we will prepare the team with that feeling and with that belief that we are able to do it. after i! defeats in �*23, anyone familiar with the darker corners of united's difficult decade might recognise patterns — noises and feelings that have built until the manager changes. scott mctominay has been there for much of that time, but he says this is different.

we've had many amazing players over the time and i feel like now we're at a stage where we've got big characters in the dressing room, where it's notjust a case of like some of the other managers, where it's been a little bit toxic at times. the boys are firmly behind the manager and that's the be—all and end—all. but now, they'll be tested again by a formidable foe and a familiarface. in an alternative universe, harry kane could be playing for united in this game. they were interested in buying him. as it is, his bayern side are already through and in his first club game back in england, he has the chance to show united what they've been missing. i think every fan would think that, er, they wish for harry kane in their team. that's why we are very proud that we managed... we managed to seduce him, and we managed to steal him from premier league and from english football. your skipper of your national team. and he's a big, big personality. commentator: it's a clear header. it's gone in the net.

solskjaer has won the european cup. think of manchester united versus bayern munich and you think of the improbable — the 1999 champions league final when united turned it around at the very last moment. they will hope that these are the echoes they hear tonight. patrick gearey, bbc news. the pressure is off for arsenal, who are already assured of top spot in their group, but after a strong start to the season, they've looked a little more vulnerable of late. they're away to psv eindhoven, who are guaranteed second place, so we could well see some changes and they've taken three academy players with them to the netherlands. the match kicks off at 5:45pm in eindhoven. united is an eight o'clock kick—off. newcastle, celtic, they'll play tomorrow night. a busy couple days. we can go to carol for the weather forecast.— couple days. we can go to carol for

evening and overnight the low pressure is not going anywhere fast. slowly drifting towards the east. dragging the cloud with it and also the light, patchy rain and drizzle in the east. we could still see showers in wales and the south—west. clear skies across scotland and northern ireland. here we are looking at lower temperatures. cold enough where you see the blues for apache frost. tonight will be colder than last night across the board. tomorrow we start with this cloud. patchy light rain and drizzle in the east. that follows the low pressure east. that follows the low pressure east during the course of the day. in central and western areas, we are looking at a lot of dry weather with sunshine around. maybe the odd shower but that would be about it. more weather fronts waiting in the wings. tomorrow will be colder than today. as we head on three wednesday night into thursday, these two weather front sinking south.

transient snow on the hills in northern scotland and england. for most of us it will be cloud and patchy rain, sinking south. brightening up behind it in central and western areas with sunshine around. brighterwinds —— and western areas with sunshine around. brighter winds —— as lighter winds as well. around. brighter winds -- as lighter winds as well-— many ukrainian families are facing their second christmas in the uk — after they sought refuge here following russia's invasion. after they sought refuge it's meant being separated from loved ones — but now the royal opera house and bradford cathedral have hosted a special carol concert in the hopes of uniting people through music, as charlotte leeming reports. they sing silent night. in the surroundings of bradford cathedral and against the backdrop of war, loss and grief, rises the majestic sound of harmony and hope.

these are the voices of the songs for ukraine chorus. many of its members fled to the uk after russia's invasion. amongst them is ina, an english teacher, who left when the school where she worked was bombed. she's now separated from her husband and her son. ifeel like i'm living a double life. so one part of me is sad and miserable. i constantly follow the news and it really hurts. being in this choir, ifeel like i'm doing something important for my country. sharing ukrainian music and ukrainian culture with the world. the choir was set up by the royal opera house, and this is the first time they've performed outside london. it's part of a creative collaboration ahead of bradford's city of culture status in 2025. for orla, it's a privilege to sing

the traditional folk songs she's known since childhood, but it's also bittersweet, reminding her of the family and friends she's left behind. it's so difficult that i cannot experience some very meaningful moments with my family. i mean, like, the birth of my nephew — my first nephew and his first steps. for many, the choir has become like a family, providing an important connection to their homeland. but the fact that some of their loved ones are still caught up in war is never farfrom their minds. one way or another, all people i know are somehow related to war — either directly defending on the front line or contributing with all the ways they can. the choir symbolises resilience and hope this christmastime.

and no—one involved in this project underestimates the power of music to unite in times of difficulty. one of the singers on the way up from london, she showed me there on her phone, three young singers. she's a singing teacher in ukraine. and she said each one of these now is in a different country. the school is bombed. and then she told me she just talked to her husband, who's on the front line. and this brings it, as you say, christmas is an extremely emotional time for many people, but for people who half of them is not here. so the bringing together to sing as one — as one chorus — at this time of year, this is a form of healing for them. displaced by war, but bound together by a dream — that one day they'll return home to peace. i couldn't even imagine that one day

the biggest dream of my life will be gathered together with my family at one christmas table and simply hug them. what a beautiful sound and a very special event, reported by charlotte! it's that time of year when we're all busy trying to find the perfect present for that special someone. but what about your pets? will they wake up to a stocking at the end of their basket this year? he is already up. lots of pets across the uk will be. according to the animal charity blue cross, more than a third of owners

say their furry companion's gift is just as important as other essential christmas expenses. graham satchell has more. are you buying your pet a present for christmas? from festive outfits to edible christmas cards, research from animal charities and retailers shows more and more of us are including our dogs and cats in the big day. christmas market in belfast and dog owners are on the lookout for the perfect gift. this is finley, and he's 12 months old, and this will be his first christmas. he's ball mad, he's bone mad, he'sjust anything mad, toy mad, you know. so, yes, he will definitely have to get a stocking and a few treats and far too much, probably more than what i'm going to be getting. i've got a dalmatian. she's five years old and she's called dotty. i have a horse at home and a dog and a cat. i i think i'm going to buy her treats, toys, squeaky toys, teddies, anything.

my horse is going to get a wee rug and i have a wee stocking - with lots of treats that will go inside, so like wee _ horse treats and all. so, yeah, it's going to be very cute. - and my horse will love it! oh, they like loads of toys, especially balls. this fella, he's different breed. he just tears them apart and he's having fun all the time. retailers are rapidly expanding their gift range for pets from clothing to toys and treats. it really feels like it's a growing trend to see your pet as part of the family. include them in the family traditions, whether that's the meal or gifting or getting dressed up. we've even got matching owner and pet pyjamas and we've seen searches for them increase by about 30% year on year. so we're definitely seeing people more enthusiastic about including their pets in christmas. so whether you think this is cute or frankly shameful, the trend is clear.

christmas is increasingly something we want to share with our pets. in some places like this shopping centre in kent, you can even take your dog to meet father christmas. they get treats and gifts and a photo. it's called a santa paws experience! of course it is. of course it is. joining us now is vet anna ewers clark and her norfolk terrier, kirk. morning to both of you. lovely to be here. is morning to both of you. lovely to be here- is so — morning to both of you. lovely to be here. is so nice _ morning to both of you. lovely to be here. is so nice to _ morning to both of you. lovely to be here. is so nice to have _ morning to both of you. lovely to be here. is so nice to have you - morning to both of you. lovely to be here. is so nice to have you here. i here. is so nice to have you here. have you — here. is so nice to have you here. have you bought _ here. is so nice to have you here. have you bought him _ here. is so nice to have you here. have you bought him anything i here. is so nice to have you here. l have you bought him anything yet? here. is so nice to have you here. i have you bought him anything yet? i cannot say what it is because he is here that he does have something for christmas, it is under the tree. give us a clue. it might be something for him to eat. might that

live from london. this is bbc news. rishi sunak tries to head off a rebellion by conservative mps — ahead of a key vote on his rwanda asylum policy. frantic negotiations at the un climate summit — the cop28 director general calls for 'the most ambitious outcome' — after anger overfossil fuel commitments. iam in i am in dubai, iam in dubai, a i am in dubai, a self—imposed deadline has passed, nations are still far apart on climate deal. more flares and explosions in gaza overnight — the un general assembly will vote again today on a

ceasefire resolution. good morning and welcome. uk prime minister rishi sunak is hosting a breakfast meeting for mps at downing street this morning as he attempts to persuade them to back his plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. the bill toughens previous legislation where lawyers for migrants have used human rights legislation to block their removal. the new legislation does not go as far as overriding the european convention on human rights. right—wing conservatives are not happy about this and say mr sunak�*s plan is too weak. there's a vote in the house of commons on tuesday, but even if the government wins that, the legislation risks being voted down at a later stage. michael tomlinson is the new minister for illegal migration. he got the role when robertjenrick resigned as immigration minister

last week and is responsible for getting the rwanda bill through parliament.
