had parental guardianship of the boy. he was found last week in southern france. police say they are still not certain what happened. speaking with him at a pace that feels comfortable to him, will ultimately determine how this case is progressed and whether there is a criminal investigation to ensure. alex was picked up by a driver in a remote area near the french city of toulouse on wednesday. he said he had been walking across the pyrenees for a number of days and nights. a driver took him to the nearest police station. translation: it wasn't normal for him to be there in that place, in the rain, at that time of night. he obviously needed help, and i was going to give him some, at least to get him back to a village so he didn't have to spend another hour walking in the rain. greater manchester police say alex was met in toulouse last night by a relative who accompanied him back to the uk. they will now need to establish whether any further action will be taken. anna o'neill, bbc

news. our reporter phil mccann is outside greater manchester police headquarters for us this morning. we heard a lot of the press conference there, but lots more was set as well last night. bring us up to date with more of the detail? that press conference, roger, was a huge moment, wasn't it, after all of these years. and indeed that is what assistant chief constable matt doyle said last night, whom we heard from there. he said this moment was undoubtably huge for alex and his loved ones, and we are glad, he said, they have been able to see each other again after all of this time. alex's grandmother, who had been living with before he disappeared, said a few days ago that he left as a boy and he is returning as a man. well, it is not clear this morning, the question of whether there will be a criminal investigation. we had lots of detail, didn't we, from french prosecutors, who held a press conference a few days ago, but none of that was elaborated on here last

night, and you wouldn't expect it to be either, there is even the possibility of a criminal investigation going on. we know that they are going to be talking as part of our inquiries to alex. what we also don't know this morning is whether we will be hearing from alex in the coming days, and we don't know exactly where alex is at the moment, except to say that finally, alex batty is on british soil. still, thank you. —— phil. the families of more than 120 israeli hostages who were taken by hamas — designated a terror organisation by the uk — have urged their government to do more to get them back. three hostages were mistakenly killed in gaza last week, while holding white cloths. it comes as israel's prime minister has appeared to confirm that new negotiations are underway to secure the release of more captives. the uk could soon be able to launch its first rocket

it is an abnormal rhythm that occurs in the upper chambers of the heart. although we are able to fully screen, we don't always identify every condition that may be underlying, and there may also be an evolution of that which may change. lockyer had resumed his career in the same way as christian eriksen. he is now at manchester united, two years on from a cardiac arrest, while playing for denmark at the euros. tom lockyer is 29 and a wales international. he had worked his way up international. he had worked his way up to the first year in the top flight. a whole sport is now behind him on a day when much results became irrelevant. joe lenski, bbc news. manchester city dropped points again. that's only one win in their last six league games now, and they also let a two—goal lead slip against crystal palace. their 2—all draw at the etihad has them four points behind leaders liverpool having played a game more. goals from jack grealish and rico lewis had put the champions in control for much of the game,

we were a little frustrated in the first half and then, we control these feelings and i think we are really able to see from the beginning, the second half, and we did well. i was confident, even when we lose, because i really believe in the team, i really believe in the players. everton beat burnley 2—nil, sean dyche winning against his old club. it's four victories in a row in the premier league for them, michael keane scoring here after amadou onana's header. as a result of the win, theyjump to 16th, now seven points clear of the drop zone. the players deserve massive amounts of credit, and the fans as well. they took a knock as well. maybe it is a levelling out period, the club and some of the realities, maybe it brought it all home. but they are a team he will give everything, that is the only thing i promise people when i am a manager, you know, give everything. the fans enjoy that, and

when you win, of course, it unlocks it all together. celtic lost for the second time in a row in the scottish premiership. the team that beat them yesterday, hearts, who hadn't done that at celtic park since 2009. lawrence shankland headed hearts in front early on as celtic got off to a sluggish start. things were made worse on the half hour mark. stephen kingsley�*s stunning free—kick doubling the lead. it finished 2—nil and means the champions remain five points above rangers, who have two games in hand with hearts in third. there are five matches in the women's super league today with manchester united taking on liverpool at leigh sports village. it's live on bbc 2, kick off 12:15. there was one game on yeasterday, with tottenham beating arsenal 1—nil. martha thomas scored the only goal to earn spurs a first—ever league win over the gunners. the result leaves arsenal still in second, behind champions chelsea on goal difference. the blues are at bristol city this afternoon. england's stuttering tour of the caribbean sparked into life last night. they chased down a massive total to beat west indies in the third

t20, keeping the series alive. west indies hit 16 sixes in their innings, with nicholas pooran top scoring on 82 as they set england a target of 223 to win. but a breathtaking century from phil salt saw the tourists edge ever closer to completing an unlikely run chase. it went right to the wire in grenada. they needed 21 from the last over and harry brook lashed out as england fought their way to a memorable victory. the fourth t—20 is in tarouba on tuesday, with england now trailing 2—1 in the five—match series. three more games in rugby's champions cup rugby today with harlequins, exeter and leicester all with their second pool games. yesterday saracens beat connacht 55—36 in a match with 13 tries. there were 10 in cardiff as bath made it two wins from two, coming back late on to beat cardiff blues 39—32. bath replacement jaco coetzee crossed for two of them, including this one.

all the results from yesterday's games are on the bbc sport website. and in the same pool, ulster picked up a much needed first win of the campaign as they claimed a 31 points to 15 home win over french pro league side racing 92. now, we're used to seeing tiger woods play golf, but not with his son. this is the pnc championship in orlando, which sees major champions team up with family members. tiger's daughter sam was on caddy duties while1a—year—old son charlie played alongside him. he was fully focused here. this putt helped them to 8—under. the leaders after the first round, with an impressive 15—under, were americans matt kuchar and his son cameron. i mentioned there was another game, manchester versus united, it is at anfield. it will be not only the biggest and premier league capacity,

hello from new york. i'm tom brook and welcome to our talking movies review of 2023. in today's programme, highlights from the world of cinema in the past 12 months. hi, barbie. hi, ken. we'll be revisiting barbenheimer — one of the more memorable movie events of 2023. he's going to now. pull me off the train. also, during the year, tom cruise did it again, bringing us a new mission: impossible film, but it didn't perform as well as expected. and 2023 was defined by industrial strife in hollywood, with both writers and actors going on strike. we hear from an actor who spent time on the picket lines. i'm the king of rock and roll! and year's end brought forth a wealth of documentaries poised for awards — all kinds of stories, from a ukrainian city under attack

to the challenges facing transgender sex workers in america. we'll also be giving you our talking movies ranking of the top ten films of 2023. for the movie industry, 2023 was a year of significant challenges, trying to bring box office back to pre—covid levels and trying to figure out what movie audiences really wanted to see. but one thing was certain, and that is the film barbie was a certifiable hit. this film, based on the adventures of a long—legged plastic doll, really delivered, both commercially and artistically. for talking movies kes browne reviewed the film. audiences, including myself, flocked the cinema in a sea of pink to see what has been dubbed by many as the film of the year. as an avid doll lover who played with barbies as a child, this film didn't disappoint. the action takes place in two realms — the real world and barbie land, filled with a variety of barbies and kens. | turn to the barbie next to you, |

tell her how much you love her! but is life in plastic really as fantastic as it seems? no comment! we follow barbie, portrayed by margot robbie, as she goes on an adventure to the real world to restore herself after she starts to malfunction. did you bring your rollerblades? i literally go nowhere without them. her mission — to find the human that is playing with her and discover why they're unhappy so that her life can go back to normal. where are we going? barbie land! in the nearly two—hour film, a lot goes down. # watch me dance... # there are dance battles, i ballads and interesting takes on the patriarchy and womanhood that have resonated with many. greta gerwig's barbie pays homage to the iconic doll, but in the same breath it also pokes holes at the beauty standards that barbie sets for women. the cast breathes life into these

plastic doll characters by giving them heart and humour. ryan gosling shines as barbie's boyfriend, ken, but behind the belly laughs, there is a deeper meaning. 0k, ladies, let's do this. barbie land is a matriarchal paradise, but we later find ourselves questioning if this is at the expense of the ken characters. barbie has confounded the naysayers, proving that films of female characters made by female directors can be huge international blockbusters. barbie, of course, wasjust one part of a big movie event of 2023 which became known as barbenheimer, the simultaneous release of two very different films chasing quite different audiences. the other part of the barbenheimer equation was, of course, the movie oppenheimer. it told the story of the man who led the quest to develop the atomic bomb, and it was masterfully put together by british film—maker christopher nolan.

it starred cillian murphy in the title role. alan moloney went to meet christopher nolan for talking movies. three... truman needs to know what's next. what's next? ..one. in a landscape of sequels and superheroes, a film about the creation of the atomic bomb may not have been the obvious subject for your average summer blockbuster. but then again, christopher nolan is not your average film—maker. an idea can transform the world... ..and rewrite all the rules. the british director is known for features like inception and the dark knight trilogy. when gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die. films that combine big spectacle with an intelligence lacking from many studio films. he's one of the few directors whose name can be used to market a movie. and for oppenheimer, he attracted a huge supporting cast,

including matt damon and emily blunt. the story itself is fascinating. oppenheimer's life is fascinating, but he manages to make it genre—bending by where he moves in time and what he reveals as he goes. have a 12—month head start... 18. how could you possibly know that? he's able to kind of capture the vastness of ideas that i are really profound, i he loves the audience, | gives so much credit to the audience | to keep up and be able to metabolise these big ideas. it's happening, isn't it? however, much of the film rests on the shoulders of irish actor cillian murphy. what i was looking to him for — it was a lot of pressure, really — is this is a script that i've written in the first person. so i need cillian to use his powers of empathy to open his thoughts, open his soul, really,

to the audience. and he can do that, you know, better than any actor can. it's a really remarkable thing. we imagine a future, and our imaginings horrify us. the film not only covers the creation of the atomic bomb, but also oppenheimer�*s life following the war, a period where he grappled with the fallout of atomic weapons as well as his past communist associations. it's a timely story in terms of politicisation of science and new technology and ai. did you find that as well? it's interesting. you don't know the circumstances in which yourfilm is going to be released, but now that people are seeing the film, i'm having more and more conversations with researchers in the field of ai, for example. i don't think oppenheimer�*s story, though it points to the important questions and it is a true cautionary tale, i don't know how much it gives them in the way of answers. certainly this film doesn't pretend to have any answers to these questions. itjust tries to really present the questions in the most suspenseful and dramatic way possible.

with a dense subject matter, three—hour running time and opening on the same day as barbie, it was feared that oppenheimer might get lost in the summer box office. however, the movie seems to have actually benefited from the barbenheimer hype that accompanied the simultaneous release of the two films. with critical acclaim and oscar talk, christopher nolan has once again proved himself to be a film—maker that can deliver big ideas in big films to big audiences. in 2022, the worldwide box office belonged to tom cruise with his movie top gun: maverick. in fact, he was credited with saving the film industry with this film. as emma jones now tells us, tom cruise was back again in 2023, this time with the latest instalment in the mission: impossible franchise. already hollywood's golden boy

for what top gun: maverick did for post—covid cinema attendance, the question was, would tom cruise's midas touch work again for mission: impossible — dead reckoning? there was a big promotional tour supporting the release, including a world premiere in rome, where part of the film was set. it's all about, "how do i engage the audience?" cruise was as willing as ever to meet fans and be chief salesman for his movie. it's bigger than all the films. it has vivid characterisations. it has glorious, luxurious locations and practical action. and the stuff that we've accomplished has never been seen before on screen. three, two, one... ..action! we even built our own train to destroy it. this film, the first of a two—parter, does what you'd expect a mission: impossible film to do. it's set around the world in glamorous locations and has

an intriguing and timely plot around artificial intelligence, which might even be able to outsmart ethan hunt. it's only the beginning. but it costs $300 million to make, and so the pressure was on to top the last mission: impossible film, 2018's fallout, which made more than $800 million for cinemas. at the time of release, the cast were hoping for even more with dead reckoning. is that what you're hoping for, for mission: impossible, that it will be a huge blockbuster summer? 0h, of course. i'd love to crack a bell, wouldn't you? imean... i'd love to get a bit of that. how much was it, 800? yeah, i've never been in a billion—dollar film. but then nor had tom till top gun, you know, amazingly. so, of course, you want everybody to see this. i feel like this film is everything a cinematic blockbuster should be. and it should be seen. and there's so many films... i mean, we speak about mission, i but it also becomes a ripple effect, doesn't it, where you show that we can do it? - other films will do it. what made a billion—dollar movie almost mission impossible was the release of barbie

and oppenheimerjust after dead reckoning. after a strong start, the film's hype was quickly stolen and its worldwide box office of $570 million so far stalled as a direct result of audiences seeing so—called barbenheimer instead, including tom cruise, who posted on social media with his tickets. ethan, this mission of yours... ..is going to cost you. this mission has been uncertain. the actors' strike delayed filming on dead reckoning part two and part one's steady climb at the box office was derailed by barbie. yet, despite the film's difficulties, most unpredictably of all, few would argue that 61—year—old tom cruise is still cinema's most reliable action star.

hollywood has just emerged from the longest strike ever of film and tv actors. during 2023, writers and actors spent a lot of time on picket lines. while the strike was under way here in new york, talking movies visited one actor to hear her concerns. new york's upper west side is home to melissa rakiro, a working actor for the past six years. she's had jobs in commercials, television and film. she's one of america's 160,000 unionised actors currently on strike. the issue vexing her the most is how her real income has declined because of streaming. a few years ago, i had one line on an episode of fbi that runs on cbs, right? so every time that would air, i would get a cheque, i would get... ..you know, you could make a decent living. i think i made $10,000, $15,000 off one line, right, which is not bad. the same exact episode on netflix... in fact, i was in two episodes of a show on netflix,

i probably made $700 in residuals. instead of working, nowadays melissa has a new routine, leaving her home and walking to her local subway station. this week, she travelled downtown to join a picket line outside netflix's offices in new york. a big concern of melissa's striking colleagues is the use of ai — artificial intelligence — in movie—making. background actors are a great example of this. background actors, what they want to do is they want to pay background actors a day rate, which is $180, scan them and then use their likeness. that's160,000 people. star names from hollywood have shown up at rallies and picket lines, many of them not short of money. their presence, while welcomed, can confuse the message that the vast majority of strikers are not economically privileged. 90% of us out here are not out here making millions of dollars a year. we're just out here trying to pay our rent and make

our health insurance. and all we want to do is be paid fairly. that's it. new yorkers have, for the most part, warmed to the striking actors, often sounding their car horns in support. horns blare oh, i don't know if you can hear it, i but we got a lot of honks. the truckers are very pro—union. they're the ones who are out here probably giving us the most love every single time. and it's just really nice. like the city is very pro—union, it's very pro—labour, so we feel very supported. it's a great city to do this in, honestly. how long do you think it's going to go on for? i think it's going to go on as long as it takes, until the studios hear us out and give us the list of things that we need. 2023 certainly brought forth some powerful and moving documentaries. now, a number of them are getting recognition from different awards bodies. talking movies has been taking a look. what did it mean to be still? i wouldn't know, i was never still. still: a michaelj fox movie took the top prize at the critics choice

documentary awards. i woke up and i noticed my pinky. it's a candid portrait of a much—liked actor who, at the age of 29, was diagnosed with parkinson's disease. facing illness is also a theme in another popular documentary, american symphony. it's a story of a year in the life of award—winning musician and composerjon batiste, both his public triumphs and the challenges he faces dealing with a remission in his wife's cancer. i won the biggest prize in music. come home. she's back in the hospital. this is what we're dealing with. also getting attention, roger ross williams with his film stamped from the beginning, an adventurous work featuring animation and comments from female black scholars looking at the origins of anti—black racism. we need to remember that slavery is a piece of human history. there's open season on black people, black men and women being shot down in the streets for no reason.

it's a very difficult time to be black in america, and we want to understand why this is happening. and if we don't understand the history, then how are we going to get past it? another aspect of black life comes into focus with kokomo city, a well—received documentary on the lives of transgender sex workers in new york and atlanta. most of the time, the strife that comes with who we are is because we didn't become who our parents wanted us to be. kokomo city basically is just like the discovery and the, i and the exploring of four black trans women that happen - to do sex work. but the movie really _ is about their experiences as trans women, just from their perspective, because so many times we hear- from the same girls, _ the same story, the same narratives and the same expectations. and ijust want to dig deeper and really get to like more i of the girls that are out there. # i saw uncle john with bald—head sally... # documentary cinema has also been bringing us films celebrating -

dynamic, talented, musical lives. little richard: i am everything is a film which shows how the american musician little richard preceded a dazzling array of white musicians, from elvis presley to the beatles to the rolling stones, who were all heavily influenced by him. i am the king of rock and roll! this is the first time i saw 2... ..the russian sign of war. one of the more noteworthy of these documentaries and one that's been picking up awards is 20 days in mariupol, an unsettling account from an associated press video journalist who documented life in the port of mariupol as russian forces advanced. documentary film takes a year or two to produce a film, capturing that moment. and now is the time when we're getting some of, some really powerful documentaries about the war in ukraine, such as 20 days in mariupol. but right now, all the film—makers with documentaries in the fray

have their eyes on the days leading up to christmas, when the oscars shortlist will be revealed. it's still a fragile marketplace for documentaries, and oscar recognition can make a big difference to their prospects. it's our annual tradition — our list of the top ten films of 2023. although doomsayers talk of an existential crisis in the movie industry, with box office declining in cinemas and the ascendancy of streamers, artistically, at least, 2023 did deliver in terms of the quality of film. so here's our list. you're the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves and the world is not prepared. at number ten, oppenheimer. christopher nolan certainly gave us a great movie to watch and ponder, an admirable portrait of the complicated man who helped to develop the atomic bomb.

conservative peer baroness mone has admitted she could benefit from millions of pounds of profit from ppe sold to the government during the pandemic. i wasn't trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes, and i regret and i'm sorry for not saying straight out, "yes, i am involved." a british teenager who was found in france after going missing for six years has arrived back in the uk. in sport, luton captain tom lockyer is stable after suffering a cardiac arrest. he collapsed during his team's premier league match at bournemouth, which was later abandoned. and good morning. it is going to be another very wet day across the west of scotland. elsewhere, dry, cloudy, breezy. i'll bring you all the details very shortly. cheering. pop star olly alexander will represent the united kingdom at next year's eurovision song contest in sweden. it's sunday december 17.

our main story: after years of denials, the former conservative peer, baroness mone, has admitted that she stands to benefit from tens of millions of pounds of profit made from ppe that was sold to the government during the pandemic. the company was led by her husband, doug barrowman. she says she did help broker the deal, but claims she has been made a scapegoat for the government's failings. our political correspondent laura kuenssberg has more. questions about the pandemic, profit and politics have followed baroness mone and her husband to southern europe. for years, they denied links to a firm that receives £200 million in taxpayers' money for desperately—needed masks and gowns. only now, the truth: that she does stand to gain. if one day, if — god forbid — my husband passes away before me, that i am a beneficiary,

as well as his children and my children. so yes, of course. my family will benefit in due course, our family will benefit. that's what you do when you're in the privileged position of making money. a successful businesswoman and member of the lords, she didn't tell parliament she was helping broker a ppe contract. she now admits she didn't tell the truth when her links to the deal first emerged. you both denied it — why? we were simply listening to our advisers. hindsight is a wonderful thing. i wasn't trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes, and i regret and i'm sorry for not saying straight out, "yes, i am involved." my family have gone through hell with the media over my career, and i didn't want another big hoo—hah in the press and my family to be involved in it. i don't honestly see there's case to answer. i can't see what we've done wrong. doug and the consortium have simply delivered a contract,

a delivery contract of goods. but after everything, you can't see what you've done wrong, when you've admitted today that you lied to the press... that's not a crime. ...and by extension you lied to the public... laura... it's not a crime. saying to the press i'm not involved to protect my family, can ijust make this clear, it's not a crime. the company has been taken to court by the department of health. the pairare under criminal investigation. but the government wouldn't comment on the couple who only now want to have their say. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. you can watch the full interview with baroness mone on sunday with laura kuenssberg at 9:00 this morning on bbc one. british teenager alex batty, who was found in france last week after being missing for six years, has returned to the uk.

he vanished in 2017 while on holiday in spain with his mother and grandfather. just a warning — there are some flashing images in anna o'neill�*s report. it gives me great pleasure to say alex has now made his safe return back to the uk after six years. confirmation by greater manchester police last night that 17—year—old alex batty had arrived safely back in the uk. he vanished after going on holiday to spain with his mother and grandfather in 2017, when he was just 11 years old. neither adults had parental guardianship of the boy. he was found last week in southern france. police say they are still not certain what happened. speaking with him at a pace that feels comfortable to him will ultimately determine how this case

is progressed and whether there is a criminal investigation to ensure. alex was picked up by a driver in a remote area near the french city of toulouse on wednesday. he said he had been walking across the pyrenees for a number of days and nights. the driver took him to the nearest police station. translation: it wasn't normall for him to be there in that place, in the rain, at that time of night. he obviously needed help, and i was going to give him some, at least to get him back to a village so he didn't have to spend another hour walking in the rain. greater manchester police say alex was met in toulouse last night by a relative who accompanied him back to the uk. they will now need to establish whether any further action will be taken. anna o'neill, bbc news. our reporter phil mccann is outside greater manchester police headquarters for us this morning. phil, there was a press conference there last night — what was said?

yes, roger, the press conference last night was always going to be a huge moment, wasn't it, in what has been a bizarre, extraordinary series of events. assistant chief constable matt boyle whom we heard from set as much himself. he said this moment was undoubtedly huge for alex and for his loved ones. we had as well a future days ago in a statement from alex's grandmother, who he had been living with for he went missing, she said alex left as a boy and will be returning as a man. in a few months, alex will be 18 years old, he will be legally an adult. what is not clear from the police press conference last night here is whether there will be a criminal investigation into this. as you heard in that report, they will be speaking to alex to establish their next steps. we had lots of detail, of course, from french prosecutors a few days ago in the press conference they gave about alex, no elaboration

at all on what has happened over the past six years from greater manchester police last night. you would not expect there to be, if there is even a possibility of a criminal investigation following. it is also unclear whether we will be hearing from alex himself and the next few days, it is not even clear where exactly here's, except to say that finally, after all these years, alex is finally on british soil. the families of more than 120 israeli hostages who were taken by hamas — designated a terror organisation by the uk — have urged their government to do more to get them back. our security correspondent frank gardner is injerusalem for us this morning. frank, has progress been made in the negotiations? good morning, frank, and thanks for joining us. do we know what progress, if any, joining us. do we know what progress, ifany, has joining us. do we know what progress, if any, has been made in trying to get these outstanding remaining hostages back? titer?

remaining hostages back? very little, because _ remaining hostages back? very little, because since _ remaining hostages back? very little, because since the - remaining hostages back? - little, because since the israeli military operation has resumed, thousands more have died. if anything, the two sides, israel and hamas, are even further apart. air hasissued hamas, are even further apart. air has issued a pretty uncompromising statement saying, don't even think about a hostage deal, unless, as they put it, the aggression against they put it, the aggression against the palestinian people stops. but could cover a whole multitude of things, notjust gaza but also settler violence against palestinians and the west bank, which has absolutely soared since the october seven raid, and that has been condemned, interestingly, in a joint article today by david cameron, the foreign secretary, with his german counterpart, and baerbock, who referred to the hateful violence committed by extremist settlers in the west bank, trying to evict palestinian settlers from their homes, their olive groves

and so on. —— german counterpart, annalena baerbock. it is a difficult situation because the relatives of the hostages who have been staging these protests in tel aviv have said, look, the israeli government policy of trying to put military pressure on hamas to give up the hostages is not producing results. so far only one israeli hostage has been rescued, and idf private. all the others have come out through negotiation. there are still more than a hundred others held out by hamas or their affiliates. generally it is very dangerous to try to rescue hostages by force. i have a piece on the website at the moment about the dangers, the perils, of getting hostages out there hostage rescues. it is usually much safer to do it by mediation. of course, that requires them to have to get something in return, which would mean the release of palestinian

prisoners and probably other demands by hamas as well.— by hamas as well. frank, thank you. if ou by hamas as well. frank, thank you. if you want — by hamas as well. frank, thank you. if you want to _ by hamas as well. frank, thank you. if you want to refrain's _ by hamas as well. frank, thank you. if you want to refrain's piece - by hamas as well. frank, thank you. if you want to refrain's piece on - if you want to refrain's piece on the website you can head to our website or check on the bbc news app. the uk could soon be able to launch its first rocket into space after a site on the shetland islands was granted a license by the civil aviation authority. the spaceport on unst — the uk's most northerly inhabited island — is the first vertical launch site in western europe to be given the go—ahead. we're going to talk about last night's strictly come dancing final now, so if you haven't watched it yet, then you might want to go and make a cup of tea. after 13 weeks of giving it their all on the dance floor, the coveted glitterball trophy was lifted high by coronation street star ellie leech and her partner vito. our culture reporter noor nanji looks back at all the action from last night.

we can now reveal the strictly come dancing champions 2023 are... ellie and vito! the moment of victory. after 12 weeks of tangos and foxtrots, ellie and her dance partner vito finally got their hands on the coveted glitterball trophy. i actually, genuinely cannot believe this. the news that the former coronation street actress was taking part in the 2023 series was revealed live on bbc brick std. —— live on bbc breakfast tv. she and vito became the bookies' favourite and impress the judges with their three dances

on saturday night, including their routine set to ain't that a kick in the head by robbie williams, which saw them awarded a0 points. and their dramatic pasodoble, which was picked on by thejudges. —— for them by the judges. you, my dear, are the only lady standing. you came down those stairs, you worked that dress, the whole ensemble of everything you danced was absolutely spot on. but they faced stiff competition from the other finalists. the first scores of the night went to about education star leighton williams and his dance partner nikita for the quickstep routine. applause

also in the mix was eastenders actor bobby brazier, dancing with partner diane. the pair performed another tribute to bobby's late mother, jade goody, who died when he was just four. # i want to be dancing all night long other highlights included a performance by cher. the line—up of 2023 also came back for one more routine. but in the end, it came down to the public vote, and it was ellie and vito who have stolen the most hearts. noora nanji, bbc news. i think the final three are all going to go and do brilliant things,

there is no doubt they are hugely talented. bobby has great things out of him but i am really glad anyone. herjourney from where she started and ended up... it is a heck of a journey. even craig lowndes not quite emotional when saying, if someone told me all those years ago when i first sat here when natasha won the first one, then someone would be doing that in the showdown 's... it was phenomenal. the athleticism of it, the bravery of it. do go back and have a look. all]! it. do go back and have a look. all e es it. do go back and have a look. all eyes are now on the christmas day strictly special. which sally has done of course. we will be watching it with great interest.— it with great interest. alexander was announced _ it with great interest. alexander was announced as _ it with great interest. alexander was announced as the _ it with great interest. alexander was announced as the uk - it with great interest. alexander was announced as the uk entry, it with great interest. alexander i was announced as the uk entry, will bring you an interview he has done with mark savage and a little while, so you will hear about all that soon. ,, ., so you will hear about all that soon. . ., , so you will hear about all that soon. ,, ., , , ., soon. simon is here in the studio this morning- _ soon. simon is here in the studio this morning. lovely _ soon. simon is here in the studio this morning. lovely to _ soon. simon is here in the studio this morning. lovely to see - soon. simon is here in the studio this morning. lovely to see you. | this morning. lovely to see you. nice to see a picture from staffordshire, my home county. you

celsius, higherthan temperature is about nine to 11 celsius, higher than what we normally expect for the afternoon in december. but it is scotland and thatis december. but it is scotland and that is where we have the heavy rain at the moment, western scotland in particular. these weather fronts have been situated here around the northwest over the last couple of days, still there today and have had 100 millimetres of rain falling in western scotland. by the end of today could be up to 200 millimetres. there is an amber warning from the met office, second highest level of warning and could be travel disruption and flooding. this is where the rainfall has been so far, the radar image, and the rain has been steadily moving further south and east as we go through this morning. the rain and that warning all day today. some patterns of drizzle. some holes will be in the cloud. there will be some sunny spells. temperatures this afternoon, for many not a great different to where they are now, ten

high—pressure building to the southwest, a big area of high pressure. they will squeeze the isobars in the north—west and hemmant will come down from where they have been recently. about five to ten or 11 celsius by the end of the week. but it stays pretty unsettled throughout the weekend because that colder error moves in, there could be some wintry showers as well across parts of scotland and northern areas of england. above average for this time of year. thank ou ve average for this time of year. thank you very much- _ new plans to tackle spiking are set to be unveiled by the government in the coming days. ministers have been coming under pressure to modernise laws and to make needle and drink spiking a specific offence. our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. it's not all shopping and present wrapping. the festive season is also about partying and drinking. but take shrewsbury in shropshire.

it's just one of those places where that social scene can come with a sinister side in the form of spiking. i hadn't had much to drink and then suddenly i was, like, paralytic on the floor, screaming. the street passers round shrewsbury, they were great, they helped me get up, my mum came and picked me up and took me to a&e, and theyjust monitor you here. they can't ever do anything about it, and you really don't know where it came from. my friend i have just talked to, i was with her when she got spiked, which is obviously a big concern. it's definitely more of a worry now when i go out compared to when i was younger. spiking is when someone secretly puts drugs into another person's drink or directly into their body. it causes a range of physical and emotional effects, where the victim can be taken advantage of. it's happening on a massive scale. in shropshire alone, there were 111 suspected cases in the last two years. nationally, there were more than 6,700 reported spiking offences between may last year

and may this year, including nearly 1,000 needle spiking offences. but despite those huge numbers — and remember, not all victims come forward — there's no single dedicated offence of spiking. but the home office says it's now going to act. the home office says it's going to amend the criminaljustice bill and update the offences against the persons act, to make clear what spiking is and that it's illegal. the updated offence will include a range of measures, such as more training forfrontline door staff in bars and clubs. it's thought they could help spot victims and perpetrators, who face up to ten years injail if convicted. well, we welcome the home office and the home secretary's commitment to modernising spiking laws. it's something we've been advocating for some years.

it's a really, really important step forward for our industry and wider society, in terms of tackling this heinous crime. more details about what is to be done about spiking will be announced by the home office tomorrow. duncan kennedy, bbc news. we're joined now by dawn dines, who's the chief executive and founder of stamp out spiking. first of all, how important will it be to get some kind of legal clarity around this event? == be to get some kind of legal clarity around this event?— be to get some kind of legal clarity around this event? -- offence? this is music to — around this event? -- offence? this is music to my _ around this event? -- offence? this is music to my ears. _ around this event? -- offence? this is music to my ears. after— is music to my ears. after campaigning for 20 years against these disgusting crimes, it is so needed. we need people to know the typical science, the symptoms, how people act so that we can train others, as many staff as possible so that they all know exactly, they have a step—by—step guide on how to deal with these crimes. {we have a step-by-step guide on how to deal with these crimes.— deal with these crimes. one of the issues here — deal with these crimes. one of the issues here is _ deal with these crimes. one of the issues here is that _ deal with these crimes. one of the issues here is that young - deal with these crimes. one of the issues here is that young women i deal with these crimes. one of the | issues here is that young women in particular are often written off as being drunk when they have been spiked stop so what are the particular signs to look out for?

there are so many signs, and over the last couple of years, we've actually got the first accredited training course, and what we have been doing as we have been going around and we've actually been teaching some of the staff, also bar staff, the new management, and as one of the ladies just said there, they are the fourth emergency service, to be honest with you. an amazing group of people. when you start to feel really unsteady on your feet, start to feel really unsteady on yourfeet, if start to feel really unsteady on your feet, if you start to feel really unsteady on yourfeet, if you get start to feel really unsteady on your feet, if you get blurred vision and you start to feel drunk really quickly, you've only got a really small window to get some help, because if you start to feel those feelings, then when these date rape drugs take effect, you are going to become compliant, you won't be able to put up a fight, and the worst thing that happens is you are left with no memory whatsoever that happens, what has happened to you. so here i stand out spiking, we are

the national charity on spiking issues, and we are urging anybody who works in the day a night—time economy to come forward to us so that we can, we've got online training, face—to—face training, and i think after speaking to so many hundreds of victims, what i've done is i have weaved in everything that i have learned from these people so that we can safeguard as many people as possible in the future.— as possible in the future. these kinds of drugs _ as possible in the future. these kinds of drugs have _ as possible in the future. these kinds of drugs have been i as possible in the future. these | kinds of drugs have been around as possible in the future. these i kinds of drugs have been around for years. i rememberwhen kinds of drugs have been around for years. i remember when i was at university, so that is a good 30 years ago now. i wonder why it is still a massive issue, and also, i want to try and understand the mentality of the perpetrators of these kinds of crimes. we talk about solving the issue when someone has been spiked, but we really need to target the people who are responsible for this as well, don't we? , ., ., , we? yes, we do. i have been speaking to toxicologists — we? yes, we do. i have been speaking to toxicologists and _ we? yes, we do. i have been speaking to toxicologists and criminologists i to toxicologists and criminologists and trying to get to the bottom of

this. the only thing we can come up with, it is terrible, really, but it has got to be total control, and it just seems to us, when we look at it, because once these drugs take effect, they leave the victim rendered with... they probably wet themselves, they have probably been violently sick and then they will be left with no memory, so the only thing that we can come up with is total control or either something so perverted that nobody would let another person do it to them. so it is pretty deep and dark, and it is something that by showing this, by us upgrading the law, these antiquated 1861 laws, by us updating them, we are going to show the perpetrators that there is zero tolerance. also has to be shown that alcohol is still a drug. even though it is a socially acceptable drug,

and now, just before christmas, we need to be saying to people sticking a double in somebody puzzling drink without the permission or consent is still a form of spiking.— still a form of spiking. thank you very much- _ still a form of spiking. thank you very much- and _ still a form of spiking. thank you very much. and very _ still a form of spiking. thank you very much. and very important i very much. and very important message. dawn from stamp out spiking. elyce uk have some basic advice if you are out and about, and anyone can be a victim of this, male orfemale, young adult, but the basic advice if you think you have been a, tell someone immediately. if you think a friend has been a victim, stay with that person and obviously then get help and support. as dawn was saying, quick action is absolutely vital. it is deep and dark and a bit sick and twisted. anyway, we will talk to laura in a minute about what is on her programme. but before that... he's had two number one albums and 10 hit singles, and now, pop star olly alexander will be able to add eurovision contestant to his list of achievements. the years and years singer and actor announced he would be the 202a uk entry during

of the national housing federation. thanks for taking the time to talk to us. i mentioned in the introduction, house prices, low wages, second homes are all an issue. is anyone of those a bigger problem than the others? we are seeing a housing crisis play out right across the country, particularly in our rural areas. there is a shortage of social housing as well as those high house prices, and there is the second home market and short—term lats. it is the perfect storm. we saw an increase of around one third in terms of waiting lists for social housing in rural communities over the last three years, so really, the solution to this is building more social homes, the most affordable type of accommodation in those communities. we also heard just then, people are being priced out of then, people are being priced out of the areas where they grew up. these

are our teachers, hospitality workers, agricultural workers. they are really important both in terms of the community, but also those local economies. the of the community, but also those local economies. ., , local economies. the government says it wants to have _ local economies. the government says it wants to have affordable _ local economies. the government says it wants to have affordable homes - local economies. the government says it wants to have affordable homes in i it wants to have affordable homes in rural and urban areas, it is already investing more in social and affordable housing. is it doing enough, and how much more does it need to do? it enough, and how much more does it need to do?— need to do? it needs to do a lot more. need to do? it needs to do a lot more- in _ need to do? it needs to do a lot more- in the — need to do? it needs to do a lot more. in the last _ need to do? it needs to do a lot more. in the last year— need to do? it needs to do a lot more. in the last year we - need to do? it needs to do a lot more. in the last year we have l need to do? it needs to do a lot - more. in the last year we have built around eight and a half thousand social homes and we need 90,000 socially rented homes each year. so we need to increase that tenfold, and that is why as an election approaches, we are calling on all political parties to have a long—term plan for housing that focuses on really good outcomes for people. that is around making sure that people do have an affordable offer for somewhere to live in their local community but also that we tackle the really sharp end of the housing crisis as well, we tackle homelessness, and we ensure people have about stability and security of a safe, secure, affordable home. hagar a safe, secure, affordable home. how much of an — a safe, secure, affordable home. how much of an issue _

viewers on bbc one. thanks for joining us, and have a good day.

happened to him twice now. it happened to him twice now. it happened in the championship layer final in may, and having been given the all clear to return, it happened again yesterday. that is why, especially to consider the emotional context of all those people who know him and work with him, it would have been really difficult to watch, but the nuisance that is heartening, because luton captain tom lockyer is in a stable condition. the game was abandoned after the 29—year—old suffered a cardiac arrest. joe lynskey reports. luton town's manager was visibly moved. his team and bournemouth came back out when the game had been abandoned, brought to an end as players from both teams saw luton's captain fall to the ground. tom lockyer had suffered a cardiac arrest. he was treated on the pitch and was responsive when he went off on a stretcher. he was transferred to hospital, where his club said "we can reassure

supporters he is stable and undergoing further tests with his family at his bedside". this is not the first time this has happened to this player. back in may, lockyer collapsed in the championship final, as luton won promotion, his teammates held aloft his shirt. lockyer was diagnosed with an atrial fibrillation, but aftersurgery, injune, he was cleared to play again. it is an abnormal rhythm that occurs in the upper chambers of the heart. although we are able to fully screen, we don't always identify every condition that may be underlying, and there may also be an evolution of that which may change. lockyer had resumed his career in the same way as christian eriksen. he is now at manchester united, two years on from a cardiac arrest, while playing for denmark at the euros. tom lockyer is 29 and a wales international. he had worked his way up to the first year in the top flight. a whole sport is now behind him on a day when match results became irrelevant. joe lynskey, bbc news.

this afternoon, another meeting of two huge rivals, who have very different states of mind right now. liverpool are top of the premier league table while manchester united are surrounded by uncertainty off the pitch and engulfed by underachievement on it. the expectations could barely be more diverse ahead of the game at anfield — butjurgen klopp isn't sure that's fair. i don't follow united closely enough to follow exactly what is the problem there, but i saw erik ten hag became the manager, i saw that they were the team result last month, so, i could be all wrong, i just don't understand it. everyone knows, ithink everyone knows, i think everyone is highly— everyone knows, i think everyone is highly motivated when you go to enfield — highly motivated when you go to enfield. it is a great place to go. and you — enfield. it is a great place to go. and you know it is going to be tough, — and you know it is going to be tough, and i think that everything, what _ tough, and i think that everything, what every— tough, and i think that everything, what every top footballer wants, i want _ what every top footballer wants, i want to _ what every top footballer wants, i want to have the challenge, you have to be looking forward. liverpool's postition was strengthened yesterday as manchester city dropped points again.

that's only one win in their last six league games now, and they also let a 2—goal lead slip against crystal palace. their 2—2 draw at the etihad has them four points behind the leaders having played a game more. goals from jack grealish and rico lewis had put the champions in control for much of the game, butjohn phillipe mateta got one back before michael olise's stoppage—time penalty saw palace pick up a dramatic point, leaving pep guardiola not in the mood for conversation post match. the palace penalty, no complaints? inaudible. it was a penalty, from your point of view? it was a penalty, absolutely. you give away the point, it is a penalty. fine, ijust wanted to ask, that's all. you can ask whatever you want. england's stuttering tour of the caribbean sparked into life last night. they chased down a massive total to beat west indies in the third t20, keeping the series alive. west indies hit 16 sixes in their innings, with nicolas pooran top scoring on 82 as they set england a target of 223 to win. but a breathtaking century

from phil salt saw the tourists edge ever closer to completing an unlikely run chase. it went right to the wire in grenada. they needed 21 from the last over and harry brook lashed out as england fought their way to a memorable victory. it is to — one to west indies now in that best—of—5 series. —— 2—i. liverpool legend sir kenny dalglish is one of the most decorated men in football, and on tuesday his career will be honoured with the sports personality of the year lifetime achievement award. he is known to many at anfield as 'king kenny�* and the club's greatest ever player, scoring more than 300 goals during his career, as well as winning six league titles and three european cups, and going on to manage the club. he also played for celtic, and led blackburn rovers to a premier league title as manager in 1995. a host of names, you would imagine, each and every year, are up for that

award. but no—one would argue kenny dalglish is a good selection. headlines are coming your way at eight o'clock. now on breakfast, it's time for click. for many of us, ordering something online waiting for it to be dropped online waiting for it to be dropped on our doorstep as a convenience we don't even think about. but, for those in brazil's favelas, the densely—populated, low—income communities that lie on the outskirts of cities like rio and sao paulo, that convenience simply isn't an option. but that could be about to change — as angelica mari has been finding out. angelica mari: favelas can be like giant labyrinths built deep into peripheries across brazil. visible, but often overlooked.

and there are millions of brazilians living in unofficial towns like this one, generating billions of dollars in economic activity every year. still, many delivery companies refuse to work here, leaving residents without a way to get parcels right at home. to address the issue, brazilian start—up naporta set out to do exactly what it says in its name, getting packages delivered right to the doorsteps of people living in the favelas. when it comes to favelas, the access is a little bit trickier, because they are considered restricted areas. this is katrine scomparin, co—founder of naporta — which, in brazilian portuguese, means "at the doorstep". one of our founders was born and raised inside a favela, so he had troubles trying to receive their products at home. so, whenever he orders something, he buys something online, he has to go to an agency sometimes to reach the zip code. the presence of gangs in the favelas' narrow, unpaved streets have made deliveries complicated here, but a lack of official

street addresses may be the biggest hurdle. we say that they are excluded from the map of e—commerce. they are excluded from the digital world. but this is where naporta believes they have developed a solution, thanks in part to a tool from google called plus codes. plus codes are digital addresses created by dividing the world over and over into ever—smaller boxes. with each division, a number or letter is added to a sequence, creating a unique location code. so, we work with them to map these regions, create routes, create streets, create addresses to these people in order for them to receive not only their packages, but vital services, such as calling an ambulance or asking for the police. those plus codes have been printed on placards and hung throughout some favelas across brazil. these help to put people on the map — but still, traditional companies refuse to come.

getting lost in this area, that can be very risky. this is david nemer, an anthropologist and professor at the university of virginia, where he studies technology in brazil's favelas. obviously, cartel folks do not want people roaming around, you know, watching their business. this is why services and deliveries are often cancelled or not completed, once they have to reach territories like this. so, naporta has turned to local residents like paulo, who know the ins and outs of the neighbourhoods. though he may know his way around, that doesn't necessarily guarantee safety. what's more, these workers are contractors. professor nemer says that can be a precarious relationship. against the backdrop of what he

calls a broken gig economy. like, delivery app workers are overworked, they're not paid enough, they don't have access to any benefits. so, naporta claims to be aware of these issues and they aim to establish a humane and fair work relationship. naporta also pledges increased security on routes and access to life insurance and other benefits. so, this certainly sounds like a much better approach than the other delivery apps, so let's just hope that they can fulfil these promises. naporta says their couriers earned around us$i,000 per month. that's in a country where the minimum wage is only about 200. katrine says that's because of the time naporta has spent developing company policies with the favela residents. so, we started looking from the bigger picture, understanding how the contexts are. so, understanding how people that live in favelas live their daily lives. and by doing that, we understand that it's not only about digital inclusion,

but is this — is this structural inclusion? professor nemer believes that model could be a potential key to success where others have failed. communities always have to be part of the solution, since they will be the ones using the technology. if none of that is taken into account, it'sjust going to be another tech developed by outsiders that never really fulfill or tackle the problems just because they don't understand it. it is safe to say their delivery app is not going to solve all the deep—rooted issues seen in the favelas. but naporta's community—based solution mayjust be a start. that was angelica mari. now, how are you with ice cream? i love it when the weather's hot, but i absolutely hate it when it melts. true, which means you couldn't make it last through an entire showing of oppenheimer at the cinema, for example. no. and, in fact, there is some science as to how you can keep ice cream solid at higher temperatures. and one of the world's leading manufacturers is on a mission to make freezers in shops around the world warmer. sounds weird, doesn't it?

alasdair keane's been finding out how. making an ice cream cone is the most complex technological ice cream product you can make. making a cone product is the food equivalent of making, some might say, a formula i motor car. we make them at very, very high speed. we also mix chocolate in there, which is hot and hates water, and ice cream, which is cold and hates fat. so, creating it is a journey. and then, eating a product like that is another beautifuljourney. for most of us, thatjourney starts in the shops. ice cream maker wall's have three million of these freezer cabinets all around the world, and now they're on a mission to make them warmer, from —18 to —12 degrees celsius.

doing so, they say, will result in a 25% reduction in emissions. this might sound like quite a quick tech solution, but the big challenge for the company is making sure the ice cream tastes the same and has the same texture in the new, warmer temperatures. to find out more, i've come to unilever�*s ice cream research and development centre, a place where they've been inventing frozen food for a long time. the rules of engagement about the cold chain of freezing were developed well over 100 years ago. what we need to do is to reformulate and create the same experience, the same eating experience at the lower temperature of —18, at the warmer temperature of —i2. tell me about where we are. so we're in our — what we call, pilot plant. it's like a mini factory. this is probably the biggest ice cream pilot plant

in the world. it works 365 days a year. and it's where we test all our processes, all our formulas, all our new gizmos that shape and assemble all our products. all of this is really important because when you're changing the temperature of the freezers, you need to make sure that the products will be able to survive. so, we need to ensure we can make it, that it can keep the structure that we want — remember i said, you know, we've got more ice at a warmer temperature, —i2. however, it still needs to be distributed at the much colder temperature through the long part of our cold chain. and then, we'll be making products here to do different tests on them, sensory tests, physical tests, a whole array of things, just to make sure that we're doing our r&d and our science properly so that when we make that final experience for our ice cream lovers, that the product is the same as it was at the colder temperature. one of the main areas the team here are looking at is the ingredients themselves, and how they'll cope

in the new temperatures. typically, you need to make some changes, particularly around, say, the sugars, because they control how much ice there is in the final product, which in turn dictates the firmness or the softness of the product. and, typically, what we might find is if we raise the temperature from —18 to —12 celsius, we get less ice, and so the product becomes softer. and so, then, we want to regain that firmness again. and we do that by essentially changing our sugar and carbohydrate blend so that we get the ice content that we want, we increase the ice content, yet retain the sweetness that we need, and we also have the right flavour delivery, as well. once the team have developed new recipes, it's over to some robots to do the first round of testing. when a consumer buys our ice cream,

it goes through temperature fluctuations. temperature is not constant. so, we have a machine that actually mimics the process that an ice cream follows. so, it goes through all the temperature cycles. so, we test to make sure our ice cream formulations at —12 is stable against those temperature changes. so, here, we have robots that actually poke into the sample and test how hard or soft the product is. and as you might have seen already, we need to make sure that our —12 products are not too soft, otherwise consumers will not be happy with our products. but i can't help thinking it's a waste of ice cream, giving it to the robots. enter the human testers — a crack team of trained professionals who know their vanilla from their mint choc chip... ..and me. welcome to our tasting today. we've got a reference sample. we've got the product you're comparing against.

and you're going to be looking to see if they're the same, a little bit more, more, or a lot more for each of the attributes that you've got on your laptops. at the moment, indonesia is our first market launch, so when we get the good match, we then can send that recipe over to our colleagues in indonesia. they manufacture the final product with this ice cream base, and then, that can go forward with consumer testing. with thousands of products sold all over the world, this is a process the team will be repeating many, many times. and if it involves eating more ice cream, then i'm happy to help. that is it for the shortcut of this week's click. the full version is waiting for you on iplayer. thank you for watching. we waiting for you on iplayer. thank you for watching.— waiting for you on iplayer. thank you for watching. we will be back next week- _

in taxpayers' money for desperately needed masks and gowns. only now the truth that she does stand to gain. if one day, if, god forbid, my husband passes away before me, then i am a beneficiary as well as his children and my children. so, yes, of course. my family will benefit in due course. our family will benefit. that's what you do when you're in the privileged position of making money. a successful businesswoman and member of the lords, she didn't tell parliament she was helping broker a ppe contract. she now admits she didn't tell the truth when her links to the deal first emerged. you both denied it, why? we were simply listening to our advisers. hindsight�*s a wonderful thing. i wasn't trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. and i regret and i'm sorry for not saying straight out. yes, lam involved. my family have gone through hell with the media over my career

and i didn't want another big hoo—ha in the press and my family to be involved in it. i don't honestly see there's a case to answer. i can't see what we've done wrong. doug and the consortium have simply delivered a contract — a delivery contract of goods. but after everything, you can't see what you've done wrong when you've admitted today that you lied to the press. that's not a crime. essentially, you lied to the public. laura, saying to the press i'm not involved to protect my family. can ijust make this clear? it's not a crime. the company is being taken to court by the department of health. the pairare under criminal investigation. but the government wouldn't comment on the couple who only now want to have their say. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. you can watch the full interview with baroness mone on sunday

with laura kuenssberg at nine o'clock this morning on bbc one. time for the rest of the day's news. british teenager alex batty, who was found in france last week, after being missing for six years, has returned to the uk. he vanished in 2017, while on holiday in spain with his mother and grandfather. just a warning, there are some flashing images in anna o'neill�*s report. it gives me great pleasure to say alex has now made his safe return back to the uk after six years. confirmation by greater manchester police last night that i7—year—old alex batty had arrived safely back in the uk. he vanished after going on holiday to spain with his mother and grandfather in 2017 when he was just 11 years old. neither adult had parental guardianship of the boy. he was found last week in southern france. police say they're still not

certain what happened. speaking with him at a pace that feels comfortable to him will ultimately determine how this case is progressed and whether there is a criminal investigation to ensue. alex was picked up by a driver in a remote area near the french city of toulouse on wednesday. he said he'd been walking across the pyrenees for a number of days and nights. the driver took him to the nearest police station. translation: it wasn't normall for him to be there in that place, in the rain at that time of night. he obviously needed help and i was going to give him some — at least to get him back to a village so he didn't have to spend another hour walking in the rain. greater manchester police say alex was met in toulouse last night by a relative who accompanied him back to the uk. they'll now need to establish whether any further action will be taken. anna o'neill, bbc news. our reporter phil mccann is outside

greater manchester police headquarters for us this morning. we saw the content from the news conference the police gave but more detail fillers conference the police gave but more detailfillers in conference the police gave but more detail fillers in on some of those details. they were underlining how huge a moment it was that after six years, alex batty is back in the uk. the assistant commissioner who you heard in the report said as much. he said this moment was undoubtedly huge for alex and his family. that was also a point underlined by his grandmother, who he had been living within the uk before his disappearance. iie within the uk before his disappearance.- within the uk before his disappearance. within the uk before his disa earance. . j disappearance. he said that alex left as a boy _ disappearance. he said that alex left as a boy and _ disappearance. he said that alex left as a boy and came _ disappearance. he said that alex left as a boy and came back - disappearance. he said that alex left as a boy and came back as i disappearance. he said that alex left as a boy and came back as a| left as a boy and came back as a man. in a few months, alex will be 18, legally considered as a man. a detail we did not get last night was

whether there would be a criminal investigation. no answer to that because the police do not have an answer because they have not been able to speak at —— to his mother. those who have spoken to him, who gave details of what he said that happened to him while living with his mother and grandfather but there was no elaboration on that from greater manchester police. you also would not expect there to be if there is any potential of a looming criminal investigation. police would not go into details about that. we also do not know whether we will hear from alex himself. also do not know whether we will hearfrom alex himself. and also do not know whether we will hear from alex himself. and we also do not know exactly this morning where alex is, except to say after all of this time, he is finally back on british soil.— the families of more than 120 israeli hostages who were taken by hamas —

designated a terror organisation by the uk — have urged their government to do more to get them back. security correspondent frank gardner is injerusalem. good morning. do we know what progress if any has been made in negotiations to try to get remaining hostages back? i negotiations to try to get remaining hostages back?— hostages back? i think it is too earl to hostages back? i think it is too early to say — hostages back? i think it is too early to say negotiations - hostages back? i think it is too early to say negotiations are i hostages back? i think it is too - early to say negotiations are under way. there are talks about talks. there are reports in israeli media that the head of israel's external overseas spy agency, who was closely involved in earlier talks that successfully resulted in the release of hostages, that he has been meeting in a european possibly oslo, to discuss a possible future hostage

deal. hamas, holding almost 129, possibly less than that, hostages in gaza, said there can be no negotiations about hostages until as they put it the israeli aggression against their people stop, in other words a ceasefire. the dilemma for the israeli government is they do not want a ceasefire while they think it would leave hamas with the capability to attack them not just with rockets but crossing the border in the way they did on october the 7th. most of the world is building up 7th. most of the world is building up momentum to try to force israel to at least curtail military operations, which are killing extraordinarily high numbers of palestinian civilians. they may be killing hamas fighters but it is devastating gaza. every day, dozens are killed. israeli soldiers are killed, much smaller numbers. that i think has prompted the foreign secretary david cameron to write

this opinion editorial with his german counterpart in the sunday times and in the german newspaper where they call for a sustainable ceasefire leading to a sustainable peace. it is a turnaround, a new departure in terms of policy for britain. ., 4, departure in terms of policy for britain. ., ~j , ., new plans to tackle spiking are set to be unveiled by the government in the coming days. ministers have been coming under pressure to modernise laws and make to needle and drink spiking a specific offence. the home office says it will amend the criminaljustice bill to make clear that spiking is illegal. the uk could soon be able to launch its first rocket into space after a site on the shetland islands was granted a licence by the civil aviation authority. the spaceport on uist — the uk's most northerly inhabited island — is the first vertical launch site in western europe

to be given the go ahead. we're going to talk about last night's strictly come dancing final so if you haven't watched it yet, then you might want to go and make a cup of tea. close your eyes, cover your ears. too late. after 13 weeks of giving it their all on the dance floor, the coveted glitterball trophy was lifted high by coronation street star ellie leech and her partner vito. she battled it out during three show stopping dances and is the youngest contenstant to clinch the prize. we will talk about last night's strictly before the end of the programme. and there was another surprise last night on strictly — as we also found out who'll be flying the flag for the uk at next year's eurovision song contest. i will be representing the uk at the eurovision song contest.

pop star, bafta—nominated actor and former years and years frontman olly alexander will be hoping to improve on last years result when he travels to sweden for the competition next may. he is 33, i discovered. he looks younger. anyway. the he is 33, i discovered. he looks younger- anyway-— he is 33, i discovered. he looks younger. anyway. the reason i was rudel not younger. anyway. the reason i was rudely not paying — younger. anyway. the reason i was rudely not paying attention - younger. anyway. the reason i was rudely not paying attention when i younger. anyway. the reason i was. rudely not paying attention when you were talking and tapping on my computer. we said ellie was the youngest winner of strictly. we did not say how old she was. she is 22. she is so talented and the way she has progressed through the way she has progressed through the series. really lovely to watch. shall we have a look at the weather. that is a nice sunrise. that was sunset yesterday and i mention it because we had hundreds of photographs of sunset last night. it was stunning. where is that? doncaster.

red sky at night, shepherd's delight. a brief mention, an appreciation of the sunset yesterday. today, cloud. condition is very similar to yesterday. it will be drying, breezy, mild. you notice it is still very wet in parts of scotland. they have already had over 100 millimetres in western scotland. temperatures this morning, 9—11 c already. these temperatures you would expect in the afternoon, a bit higher. why is it wet in the north—west? this front has been stationary, giving rainfall. the rainfall totals are building up with 100 millimetres and another hundred expected today. the risk of flooding and disruption. an amber warning from the met office around the north—west of scotland. rain

continues. it has been moving in and gradually moves further south and east this morning. we will see rain in the south west of scotland, northern ireland. maybe rain in northern england. further south, largely dry, a lot of cloud. towards the east and through central areas, the east and through central areas, the cloud breaking up to give brighter and sunny spells. top temperatures about 10—13 c. tonight, the rain continues in the north—west of scotland but eventually pulls away to the south. heavy rain in cumbria, lancashire, and in wales. clear skies in the far north of scotland. temperatures dropping to seven here. elsewhere, a mild night into monday morning. 9—12. weather fronts on monday will give some areas of rain. through wales,

central areas and more towards the north and west and after sunny spells across scotland and northern ireland, another band of rain spreads in. wales, eastern england, and northern england. the rain will fizzle out through the afternoon on monday but mostly cloudy skies apart from sunshine towards northern areas. those temperatures way above the average for the time of year. 11-13. as the average for the time of year. 11—13. as for the rest of the week, on tuesday some rain in much of england and wales. wintry showers across scotland. high pressure to the south—west which means a north—westerly air and temperatures will come down next week. it will not be desperately cold but temperatures 7—11. pretty unsettled, showers particularly in northern areas which could be wintry over the high ground of scotland and northern england. christmas weekend,

temperatures coming down. i know you want to know about christmas day and whether it will be a white christmas. hopefully this chart will tell you something. cold air in the north, mild air in the south, looking like it will spread north and eastwards. it is always a tricky situation when you have two air masses. that is where it is situated and in a few days it might go further north or south. does that give us an answer? it says cold air is never too far away and we might see wintry showers in northern areas. we do not want a warm and wet for christmas. that is rubbish. i want to wake up to a blanket of... that is not happening. frost. that may not happen either. 0k. frost. that may not happen either. ok. come back when you can frost. that may not happen either. ok. come back when you can deliver, simon.

we are going to talk about mental health. police forces across the uk are facing increased pressure to respond to mental health emergencies at a time when front—line resources are already over—stretched. new figures from police scotland show that this year, the force attended around 20,000 mental health incidents every month — nine in ten of them did not involve a crime. our correspondent david cowan has joined officers on shift in edinburgh. we've had a phone call in about a potential suicide of a female. ambulance have been contacted as well. eight hours on the back shift in edinburgh provides an eye—opening glimpse into the reality of policing in 2023. are you ok? what's going on? the pandemic and cost of living crisis have been blamed blamed for a deterioration in the country's mental health. and the last five years have seen

a huge increase in calls about individuals giving cause for concern. constables macleod and gardner are sent to find a woman who's absconded from a psychiatric ward. at her flat, no one answers the door, but they think someone's inside. can't confirm she's in there or not. the property and search it to either find her there or not. police! she'd been reported missing. the royal ed. so it'sjust a case of speaking to her and explaining that we would be returning her to hospital where she was missing from. other calls are more routine. a support worker hadn't heard from a vulnerable person for three weeks. we had a wee bit of a concern. we just wanted to do a welfare

check, make sure you're ok. that was a straightforward welfare check on somebody who's got a history of problems and mental health. but it's yourjob to go and check that she's ok. of course, yeah. rather than the agency which normally deals with them? yeah. this is happening when police scotland's budget is under pressure. the frontline is thinning, officer numbers are falling towards their lowest level in 16 years. we're told that, so far, this has been a fairly typical shift and, every month, police scotland are dealing with about 20,000 mental—health incidents — the vast majority of which don't involve a crime. in england and wales, many police forces are only responding to mental—health calls which involve a crime or immediate threat to life. scotland isn't copying that approach, but efforts are being made to reduce the deployment of officers. if we can be assured that people's needs are going to be met through a risk—based approach and through other services being available to step in when they're needed, then, hopefully, it can free the police up to deal with all the other things which only we can deal with — crime, serious harm, serious vulnerability at the point of crisis.

you've been in the police for two years, i think you said, how are you finding all of us? it's good. it's been very eye—opening. is it what you signed up for? yes and no. i signed up to help people. obviously, i didn't expect there to be quite as many of these kind of calls. feels pretty relentless. can be, can be, yeah. someone's got to do it. the scottish government is working with the health service and the police to try to reduce the demand on the front line. but this problem is deep—rooted. money is tighter than ever. finding solutions will be a challenge. david cowan, bbc news, edinburgh. we are joined by andy bell, who is the chief executive at centre for mental health. those figures are shocking. 20,000 mental health related incidents in scotland every month and i presume it is reflected throughout the uk?

yes, i think what we have seen is people's mental health has deteriorated in recent years. austerity policies over a longer period of time particularly in social care means there is less support to stop people getting to crisis point. that inevitably mean sometimes police are called all we need an emergency response because someone's mental health has deteriorated to that extent. there mi . ht deteriorated to that extent. there miaht not deteriorated to that extent. there might not be _ deteriorated to that extent. there might not be a — deteriorated to that extent. there might not be a crime _ deteriorated to that extent. there might not be a crime going - deteriorated to that extent. there might not be a crime going on - deteriorated to that extent. there might not be a crime going on but there might be a safety issue in terms of personal safety, safety to others, a disturbance, which is why police are required to plug the gap. if it is not them, who should attend those incidents?— those incidents? what we need... peole those incidents? what we need... people want _ those incidents? what we need... people want a _ those incidents? what we need... people want a health _ those incidents? what we need... people want a health response. i those incidents? what we need... i people want a health response. what people tell us when they have been subject to police intervention, they found it frightening, thought they had done something wrong. some say police treat them with compassion

and kindness. they want this kind of response ideally from social care but those services are under enormous pressure.- but those services are under enormous pressure. this summer in encland enormous pressure. this summer in england and — enormous pressure. this summer in england and wales _ enormous pressure. this summer in england and wales police _ enormous pressure. this summer in england and wales police said - enormous pressure. this summer in england and wales police said they| england and wales police said they would no longer attend such incidents unless there was a risk to life or crime committed and they described it as the right care, right person policy. do we fully understand the implications of that and the impact? i understand the implications of that and the impact?— and the impact? i think we are still waitin: to and the impact? i think we are still waiting to find _ and the impact? i think we are still waiting to find out _ and the impact? i think we are still waiting to find out and _ and the impact? i think we are still waiting to find out and it _ and the impact? i think we are still waiting to find out and it is - and the impact? i think we are still waiting to find out and it is a - waiting to find out and it is a worrying time. because in some areas, if there is a multi—agency response where organisations get together to ensure anyone in the mental health crisis gets a decent and quick response that is great. if there are gaps, it could be serious. it might be difficult for a call handler to know if there is a risk to life for example. we are concerned there will be significant gaps and those gaps will happen

unless there is proper resourcing and health and social care to provide people with the right care, right person, right time. the provide people with the right care, right person, right time.— right person, right time. the uk government _ right person, right time. the uk government says _ right person, right time. the uk government says they _ right person, right time. the uk government says they are - right person, right time. the uk - government says they are providing an extra billion pounds a year including 150 million for facilities to replace police officers such as special ambulance. they talk about crisis cafe is. and 999 call handler is being trained to respond to these calls in an appropriate manner. presumably that will help, do you think it is enough? it is presumably that will help, do you think it is enough?— think it is enough? it is going to hel. in think it is enough? it is going to help. in england _ think it is enough? it is going to help. in england in _ think it is enough? it is going to help. in england in particular. think it is enough? it is going to i help. in england in particular there has been investment in mental health services in the past years. it is a good job because levels of mental distress have risen significantly. the numbers of people needing support have increased by quite a lot. the more you can prevent a crisis the better. as well as better crisis the better. as well as better crisis response we need better community support so people do not

get to that point and that is important. that we have a range of services. we also need decent support and things like crisis cafe is and alternatives to inpatient admission can help. inevitably, people when they reach a crisis point in mental health, they sometimes need urgent care in an emergency department. sometimes police need to be involved if there is immediate risk and police have powers under the mental health act. many thanks. we will keep a watch on this. i appreciate your time, andy bell. no question it was a shocking scene yesterday at bournemouth. luton town's football captain collapse. he is said to be stable and undergoing further tests after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch.

this was during a premier league game against bournemouth was abandoned after the incident midway through the second half. here's how match of the day reported what happened. oh, no. this is a moment of real concern. tom lockyer, the luton captain, has dropped to the ground and, immediately, he is going to need some treatment. and what every luton town, every football fan will know, of course, that this is not the first time this has happened, because tom lockyer collapsed in a play—off final game only back in the summer and underwent heart surgery injune. and we really, really hope this is not as serious as it looks. so we have just had confirmation that bournemouth against luton this afternoon in the premier league will not continue. it has been abandoned after that medical incident involving tom lockyer.

and how heart—warming it is to see the luton town players, the bournemouth players, all of them on the pitch walking round, showing their respect, showing their thanks to every single person in this ground, because they recognise it has been as hard for those in the stands as it has been today for those on the pitch. you can see rob edwards is visibly distraught and we all are for what has happened here today. that was the match of the day cameras that captured what happened. joining us now is consultant cardiologist professor andrew deaner, who helped footballer fabrice muamba, when he had a cardiac arrest on the pitch in 2012. professor, thank you for talking to us this morning. i know it is a situation you are familiar with. what went through your mind when you

heard what happened yesterday? it always brings back memories when these sorts of things happen. it was not live on television but i was watching the match when christian eriksen had a cardiac arrest. it feels very close to home. and seeing the pictures this morning they look almost identical to the pictures we had in 2012. almost identical to the pictures we had in 2011— almost identical to the pictures we had in2012. ., ,, , ., had in 2012. thankfully tom lockyer is stable in hospital. _ had in 2012. thankfully tom lockyer is stable in hospital. the _ had in 2012. thankfully tom lockyer is stable in hospital. the second - is stable in hospital. the second time it has happened to him. as you know, fabrice muamba made a recovery. but it has happened in 2003, others were not so lucky. yes. the important _ 2003, others were not so lucky. yes. the important thing _ 2003, others were not so lucky. ij:3 the important thing here there are systems in place to resuscitate someone unfortunate enough to have a cardiac arrest. i think one thing to say is if you have had atrial

fibrillation, which is what i understand tom lockyer had earlier in the year, the chances of this happening a few month later are really small. there are thousands of people who would have had the same treatment as tom thinking could this happen to me? there is something complicated here. i have no details about what happened with this person, with tom. i want to reassure patients who have had atrial fibrillation, the chances of having a cardiac arrest at a later stage are remote. i cannot recall a similar situation. the important thing to do to help rescue a person who has had a cardiac arrest is to do early cpr. we know with tom, and the reason we did so well and why they worked well with christian eriksen and i am sure with tom lockyer, pitch side would be several people trained to do cpr. if you come across a cardiac arrest and i

hope you don't, the first thing to do is call for help and start doing cardiac massage. go and learn how to do it. there are ways to learn. you can look online. there is a fantastic video jones video that shows you how to do cardiac massage. it is straightforward. if someone has had a cardiac arrest, you cannot get them up, shout in their ear, give them a shake, they will not respond, clearly not breathing, they are pale, starting to do cardiac massage straightaway will do no harm. you cannot make things worse. and you can save a life. we know that if there is early cardiac massage at the time of cardiac arrest, the chances of survival are hugely greater than if you call an ambulance and wait 5—10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. the ambulance and wait 5-10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.— an ambulance to arrive. the key thin is an ambulance to arrive. the key thing is the _ an ambulance to arrive. the key thing is the early _ an ambulance to arrive. the key thing is the early intervention i an ambulance to arrive. the key i thing is the early intervention and i suppose in some ways on the football pitch in front of a crowd

with facilities and experts around, if you are unfortunate enough to have this happen, it is as good a place as any, rather than being alone at home. as you say, the key thing to remember and i remember from the course i did, you cannot do any more damage. technically, at that point the person you are treating, as fabrice muamba was for you, is technically dead. you cannot make things worse and the most commonplace for it to occur is at home so if someone learns to do cpr the meeting of your life so it's worth getting your family trained because maybe one day when you are older you may be the one unfortunate enough to have cardiac arrest. if they can do cardiac massage while someone calls for an ambulance you may survive rather than pass away which would be a great tragedy. the other thing is to have access to defibrillators. in most cases, the

defibrillators. in most cases, the defibrillator will return a chaotic rhythm back to normal. if that's why it has occurred. so there is a big campaign to provide public access to fibrin later is in as many places as possible and that is happening. there are defibrillators for more easily available now than there ever were in the past. it’s easily available now than there ever were in the past.— were in the past. it's interesting, were in the past. it's interesting, we have talked _ were in the past. it's interesting, we have talked quite _ were in the past. it's interesting, we have talked quite a _ were in the past. it's interesting, we have talked quite a lot - were in the past. it's interesting, we have talked quite a lot about| were in the past. it's interesting, | we have talked quite a lot about it on this programme, we talked to the father of oliver king who has campaigned to get them into schools and there are other charities doing that. with a different relate, you cannot actually... deliver an electric shock if it is not required so they are simple to use, aren't they? so they are simple to use, aren't the ? ., ., , so they are simple to use, aren't the ? ., they? you open the machine, it has instructions — they? you open the machine, it has instructions on _ they? you open the machine, it has instructions on the _ they? you open the machine, it has instructions on the front _ they? you open the machine, it has instructions on the front how - they? you open the machine, it has instructions on the front how to - instructions on the front how to turnit instructions on the front how to turn it on and it starts talking to you to tell you exactly what to do including how to do the cardiac massage. someone brings a defibrillator while you start doing

we lead the programme with an exclusive interview with michelle mone and her husband doug barrowman. businesswoman turned politician, then caught up it the ppe scandal. for a couple of years, she and her husband denied having any links to a company that made tens of millions of profit from selling ppe that was later rejected by the department of health. but now they tell a different story. after press headlines, what they say has been a campaign against them to make them scapegoats, we will hear their version of events. also in the studio, oliver dowden, the deputy prime minister, the shadow health secretary wes streeting, and with me, too, the actor brian cox, presenter susanna reid and former cabinet minister robert buckland. it has been a very busy year. there will be plenty more to come in 2024. but, for today, see you here on bbc one at 9. thanks very much, laura. over on the

other side. — thanks very much, laura. over on the other side. we — thanks very much, laura. over on the other side, we are _ thanks very much, laura. over on the other side, we are on _ thanks very much, laura. over on the other side, we are on bbc _ thanks very much, laura. over on the other side, we are on bbc two. - thanks very much, laura. over on the other side, we are on bbc two. just i other side, we are on bbc two. just a uick other side, we are on bbc two. just a quick thought on tom lockyer before we look ahead. everyone's thoughts with him, the second time, it is too early to talk about the future and whether he can play again with the most important thing is he gets well. find with the most important thing is he ets well. j ., . with the most important thing is he ets well. j .,, i. ., with the most important thing is he ets well. j ., , gets well. and as you have been heanna gets well. and as you have been hearing from _ gets well. and as you have been hearing from the _ gets well. and as you have been hearing from the professor - gets well. and as you have been l hearing from the professor there, the two don't tend to be, certainly in his medical experience, related so it feels like incredibly bad fortune for tom lockyer but you can also bear in mind what the professor said about fabrice muamba, draw a line from that moment to the kind of medical attention tom lockyer would have got yesterday because i was a huge campaign like you mentioned about the fact that there needs to be better defibrillator access at football matches and that was partly because of what happened to fabrice muamba. so he plays a huge role, we have spent a lot of time in his

company, in helping people like, lockyer and we hope that has a happy conclusion. that was yesterday in the premier league, today we hope the premier league, today we hope the drama is the field. now time to look ahead to what could be a defining game for liverpool and manchester united. two huge rivals who have very different states of mind right now. liverpool are top of the premier league table, while manchester united are surrounded by uncertainty off the pitch and engulfed by underachievement on it. the expectations could barely be more diverse ahead of the game at anfield as patrick gearey reports. two clubs from two cities in two very different places. this is not how manchester united wanted to arrive in liverpool. erik ten hag's side have wandered into another pocket of gloom. they're out of europe and have lost half the games they've played this season. once—murmured questions about the manager's future are now openly asked. i'm not concerned about it.

i want to win and i want to win with my team. i want to progress the team in the right direction. and we are here in a project and last season, we were absolutely in the right direction and the project now we haven't met the standards. games against liverpool are often defining for united managers. a defeat at anfield precipitated the end ofjose mourinho. not long after losing to their great rivals, ole gunnar solskjaer was sacked as manchester united manager. and then there's last season — a scoreline that scarred. that hurt, that definitely hurt. and that's something i think that united have got to use as fuel to go to anfield and as a bare minimum roll their sleeves up and have a fight. and i think united haven't scored there for a number of years, not even registered a goal at anfield. it's been a real dark place for united and at some point you've got to roll your sleeves up and change your fortune.

but liverpool are a formidable opponent. they have lostjust once in the league all season and sit top of the table. another victory would further fuel talk of a title challenge and add to their enemies' issues. but not everyone there is enjoying united's woes. i never like when the headlines about united are not great before we play because it's always like, ok, oh, then it is the game where you can put everything right. i saw that eric ten hag became manager of the month last month. i saw that they were the team in form twice in the last month. so how can it be all wrong? if most of the talk has been about united, most of the noise will come from liverpool. they're opening up more of their new stand, which should mean they have their highest attendance since the '705. their visitors could well feel a very long way from home. it's nearly a decade since aberdeen lifted a major trophy and five years since they last appeared in a domestic final. on sunday, they face rangers at hampden with the chance to win

the scottish league cup, the first piece of silverware of the campaign. aberdeen have had their struggles this season whilst rangers are on a run of nine wins from twelve under their new manager. everybody feels in this dressing room if they stick together and they work hard, that they get the rewards. but it stays one game of football, so we're going to go really hard to win this first trophy. we massively respect rangers as a huge football club. some really good players and we know we're the underog, we've got lots of respect for them, but we don't fear anything, we don't fear anyone. and we go into that game and, as i said, bring the best version of ourselves. next to british success overnight in las vegas. both paddy pimblett and leon edwards won, the latter retaining his ufc welterweight title. he cruised to victory over american colby covington winning

by unanimous decision after going the five round distance. after the fight, an emotional edwards criticised covington, who had made a crass comment about the briton's late father in the build—up. that's now 12 unbeaten for the fighterfrom birmingham. liverpool legend sir kenny dalglish is one of the most decorated men in football and on tuesday, his career will be honoured with the sports personality of the year lifetime achievement award. he's known to many at anfield as king kenny and the club's greatest ever player, scoring more than 300 goals during his career, as well as winning six league titles and three european cups, and going on to manage the club. he also played for celtic, and led blackburn rovers to a premier league title as manager in 1995. kenny means absolutely everything. so, when i arrived here, i knew kenny dalglish, the player, the legend. and i met here kenny the man and the bloke he is. and the guy who sits here in the restaurant for brekkie.

and we asked them, "oh, kenny, what are you doing here?" and you just look outside, you know, "oh, the weather is too bad for playing golf." actually, that's why he's here. he is liverpool and he has his own stand and well—deserved and is just one of the nicest people you can meet. he's full of joy. he loves this club. he's super supportive. he's one of the few people who talk about football and know exactly how it is. and if you think about liverpool fc, i think there are two names who come in your mind immediately. that's kenny, that's stevie. of the recent times, these two names are probably the biggest names in the history of lfc and i feel really blessed to know him. kenny dalglish very important to liverpool football club but also the city as well he was the manager during his first spell when hillsborough happened and for many of the families in 1997 he was incredibly important as a comfort and also a guide during that time.

he made sure representatives for the club went to every single funeral. key has also said amazing things about his wife and how he credits her with being absolutely critical to his career, her support and also she has done amazing charitable work herself. it is neverjust one man when you have got... after spending 34 days marooned on a tropical island, taking on various physical and mental challenges, the winner of the bbc game show survivor has been crowned. if you're a fan of the show, but haven't yet watched last night's final then you might want to step away from your tv now as we're about to take a look at that winning moment. the winner of survivor 2023... matthew.

normally expect during the afternoon in december, perhaps even higher than what we would normally expect and pretty wet across the north west with these weather fronts which have been pretty stationery over the last 36 hours, bringing that rain. the rain has steadily moved further south but already about 100 millimetres of rain across the west of scotland with another 100 millimetres expected today. we could see flooding and that's why there is out met office amber warning in force through the course of the day, further disruptions because of that. the rain as you can see has been moving further south, patchy rain into northern ireland as well, continuing to move further south and east, east scotland looking dry and bright, you might see some sunshine across central and eastern areas, fairly clear coastal areas with rain and drizzle but mild. maximum temperatures up to ten up to 12 or

13. through this evening and overnight, we keep a lot of cloud, rain in the north—west gradually moving south, it will turn dry finally across western scotland. we rain pushing into wales but again with that cloud around, the mild air in place, these are the overnight temperatures, 9—11, chilly in the far north of scotland. if you weather fronts across the uk giving areas of rain. the heaviest will be in the morning across parts of wales into the midlands, eastern england as well, dry and a little bit elsewhere, decent sunny spells in scotland and northern ireland before rain moves in across the north and west. temperatures on monday about 9-13. west. temperatures on monday about 9—13. staying unsettled, low pressure moving on tuesday will bring wet weather for england and wales, north—westerly airflow will

after 12 weeks of tangos, salsas and foxtrots, ellie and her dance partner vito finally got their hands on the coveted glitterball trophy. i actually genuinely cannot believe this. don't talk to me. this is the first time i've seen him cry. and, for once, you're crying more than me. so this is for you. this is for you. you have been amazing. hey! the news that the former coronation street actress was taking part in the 2023 series was revealed live on bbc breakfast tv. she and vito became the bookies' favourite and impressed the judges with their three dances on saturday night. # if you go hard, you've got to get on the floor. including their routine, set to ain't that a kick in the head by robbie williams, which saw them awarded 40 points. # ain't that a hole in the boat?
