good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. a row over claims that striking doctors refused requests to return to work. the bma union accuses nhs bosses of undermining the emergency cover system. a court in the us has published more than 900 pages of documents detailing people connected to sex offenderjeffrey epstein. luke humphries is the greatest starting force luke humphries is the greatest darting force on the planet right now. luke humphries wins a gripping world darts final to see off the challenge of 16 —year—old luke littler. yes, the fairy tale for the teenager is over, but a star is born. luke littler may not have won the final, but he's captured the public�*s imagination after his incredible run in the tournament.

a huge response to the tv drama about the post office scandal that saw hundreds of innocent branch managers wrongfully prosecuted for theft. we'll hear from one who's fought forjustice for 20 years. whilst there are some brighter skies ahead for us all there is still some rain in the forecast today particularly across the south, i will have your full forecast here on breakfast. it's thursday 4th january. our main story. a row about emergency cover has broken out between nhs bosses and union leaders, as a strike byjunior doctors in england enters its second day. yesterday nhs leaders made 20 requests for striking doctors to return to the wards and help overstretched services but the british medical association accused them of misusing the system, which is known as derogation. a number of nhs trusts have reported long waiting times in a&e, with some declaring critical incidents.

here's more from our health editor hugh pym. # hey, vicky, ooh, ahh # i wanna know when you'll pay us fair. with junior doctors out on strike, a row between their union, the british medical association and nhs leaders in england has blown up. under an agreed system, trust bosses can call striking junior doctors back into work in extreme circumstances and if the safety of emergency services is threatened. but they have to demonstrate they've exhausted all other sources of staffing. the bma claims that trusts aren't producing enough evidence and out of 20 requests so far, almost all have been rejected. we had no requests for derogation in december and we have had a handful of credible requests for derogation in the past, including some that we have granted. but this time we've had substantial numbers with inaccurate or incomplete request forms,

which are demonstrating a real change in the approach from central nhs management, which we think is a misuse of the process. nhs england said strong evidence was provided when the most challenged systems needed support and it was expected local health managers would ask colleagues for allowances to be made to ensure safe cover. the row comes at a time of mounting pressure on health services in england, with some organisations declaring critical incidents or warning they were very busy with long waits in a&e. this is not unusual in mid—winter, but the doctors�* walk—out as to the usual challenges faced by hospital bosses. with the strike moving into a second day, there seems little prospect of talks between ministers and the bma before the action is over on tuesday. that means some more anxious days for hospitals and their patients. hugh pym, bbc news.

it's just coming up to four minutes past six, naga has more of the day's stories, and you are starting with an amazing success story of a sports, getting bigger than it was overnight. and i think also last night he wanted a fantastic battle regardless of who was going to win, do we absolutely got that. it wasn't to be for 16—year—old luke littler at the darts world championships. instead, it was a night to rememberfor luke humphries, who beat his young opponent to take the title, and £500,000 in prize money. 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks was watching at alexandra palace. the ascension is complete! as luke humphries sank to his knees in elation, luke littler could only reflect on what might have been following a fairy tale run that had captured the nation's attention. it's been a good tournament. i've got gained a lot of experience and a lot of stage experience myself. i'm in the top 32 now, so potentially being there for next year. so it's another busy year ahead.

the big build up, the long walk. the teen sensation had lit up the palace. but luke humphries is 12 years his senior and he made every year of experience count to take the first set comfortably. littler needed to settle. he has big dreams. he nails big finishes. but they don't call humphries cool hand luke for nothing. how about this, luke humphries. this match was ebbing and flowing, but on the smallest of margins, tides can turn. was this the moment? littler was up, but onlyjust. and when missed doubles crept in, humphries hauled it back in spectacularfashion, winning four sets on the spin to set up the end. littler had been on a roller coaster and taken us all along for the ride. but you know what they say, good things must come to an end. i'm going to be very, very busy over the next 12 months. i know that. but i've got to make sure that i don't work too hard and not allow

myself to enjoy the moment, because, you know, i've just achieved something that is a dream for a dart player. so, you know, i'm really, really pleased and over the moon. so the teenage dream is over, for now. we haven't seen the last of luke the nuke. natalie pirks, bbc news, alexandra palace. and we'll be speaking to the new pdc world darts champion, luke humphries, after eight o'clock. armed police in liverpool are hunting a gunman after reports that he fired his weapon in a cinema last night. 0fficers received reports of a gun being fired at the showcase cinema in the croxteth area just before nine o'clock and at a nearby shop around 20 minutes earlier. merseyside police said nobody was injured, and no arrests have been made. newly released court documents relating to the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein have been made public overnight. the 900—page document includes associates, friends and alleged victims of the disgraced billionaire, who killed himself in jail five years ago.

let's speak now to our north america correspondent peter bowes. peter, good morning, hello to you. we have been waiting quite some time for this list, haven't we, what have we learned from this list? yes. for this list, haven't we, what have we learned from this list? yes, much anticipated. — we learned from this list? yes, much anticipated. 943 _ we learned from this list? yes, much anticipated, 943 pages _ we learned from this list? yes, much anticipated, 943 pages to _ we learned from this list? yes, much anticipated, 943 pages to be - anticipated, 943 pages to be precise. good morning, naga. a lot of information based on transcripts of information based on transcripts of interviews, depositions, e—mails, all relating to a civil lawsuit brought by one ofjeffrey epstein�*s accuses against ghislaine maxwell who is now serving time in prison for crimes she committed with him and as expected the documents contain the names of some very high—profile people who we have known for some time have been associated with him. prince andrew is mentioned more than 60 times, and some of the allegations against him are repeated. allegations that the palace has described as

categorically untrue. that was in the past. bill clinton, the former president, we expected this, he is also mentioned, he would usejeffrey epstein�*s playing to fry to africa on humanitarian trips. —— plane to fly to africa. there are no suggestion in the document of any illegal activity by the former president. former president trump a few mentions and no suggestion he was involved in any wrongdoing. apart from famous people, other people mentioned, thejudge when these documents were released said they had not objected, almost like it is a clearing of the air that these people might have cost bath with jeffrey epstein these people might have cost bath withjeffrey epstein in the past but they are not implicated in the crimes. this is not the end of the story, there are still more of these documents to be released in the coming days.

documents to be released in the coming dam-— iran's supreme leader has vowed a harsh response after 95 people were killed in a double bombing. it happened near the tomb of the iranian general qasem soleimani as supporters gathered on the fourth anniversary of his death. there were no immediate claims of responsibility for what's believed to have been the deadliest such attack in the country in more than four decades. a dozen countries including the uk and us have issued a joint statement demanding that houthi rebels in yemen stop attacking merchant ships in the red sea. the statement said the iranian—backed militants would face consequences if the attacks continue. a judge in the us state of nevada has suffered minor injuries after a defendant leapt over the bench and attacked her. clark county district courtjudge mary kay holthus was knocked over in the incident which happened during sentencing but did not need hospital treatment. the us secretary of state antony blinken is travelling

to the middle east today, his fourth crisis trip to the region since the october 7th attack. mr blinken�*s visit will include israel, as fears grow that its conflict with hamas will spiral into a regional war. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem for us this morning. yolande, good morning. tensions in the middle east are ramping up on all sides, aren't they?— all sides, aren't they? that's riaht, all sides, aren't they? that's right. and — all sides, aren't they? that's right, and there _ all sides, aren't they? that's right, and there is _ all sides, aren't they? that's right, and there is so - all sides, aren't they? that's right, and there is so much l all sides, aren't they? that's - right, and there is so much concern about regional spill over of this war in gaza, notjust from the us, israel's closest ally but from the whole international community and yesterday all eyes were focused on the head of the lebanese armed hezbollah as he gave a big speech. basicallyjust hezbollah as he gave a big speech. basically just after the killing hezbollah as he gave a big speech. basicallyjust after the killing of this hamas number two in beirut which has been blamed on israel although it will have confirmed or

denied its involvement. hasan nasrallah did not come out and say there will be an increase of attacks by its heavily armed forces on israel, as many people had feared, in support of hamas, but the israeli military didn't want to talk too much about this but said its focus remained on fighting hamas. that seems to have allayed some concerns for now. it is so much for the us secretary of state antony blinken to address as he comes back to the region, we are not expecting him to arrive in israel for a couple more days but he will want to talk about the intensity of the fighting in the gaza strip because although we have seen israel saying it is pulling out some combat forces, lowering the intensity of its fighting in that way which is what the us wanted to see, it has still continued with the very heavy bombing of sites in gaza that which is causing high numbers of civilian casualties.— of civilian casualties. yolande, thank you _ of civilian casualties. yolande, thank you very _ of civilian casualties. yolande, thank you very much. - the family of captain sir tom moore must demolish an unauthorised spa block at their home after the deadline to make a high court challenge passed.

anti—westminster, writes to be angry with politicians. why is keir starmer talking in those terms? i'm told in strategy meetings again and again his team say that they have two opponent at the election whenever it comes, one obviously is the conservatives, but the other opponent is the idea that no political party or political leader can make a difference. what keir starmer wants to do in this speech is try to persuade the voters that actually, he can be different. almost two harness the mood of anti—politics and ride it into downing street. the conservative party would say, hang on a second, keir starmer is exactly what he is decrying here, we have already got richard holden, the chairman of the conservative party out of the traps saying that keir starmer is aware —— is a web domain, you will hear a lot

of that from the conservatives that he has changed his mind on a lot of policies —— that he is a weather vane. the view of keir starmer�*s team is he has plenty of policies, about changing the planning system, change in the nhs, dentistry. you have the battle lines being drawn for the year to come. keir starmer trying to set a mood and the conservative party trying to attack his personal credentials, and there is much more of that to come. i imagine so. thank you, henry. elvis presley will be brought back to life for a live concert using ai technology. elvis evolution will feature holograms of the king, created from thousands of his personal photos and home—video footage. the show is set to open in london in november before moving to las vegas, berlin and tokyo. we will talk more about this at around 9am with a couple of of elvis

frequent. temperatures today down a little bit but still above where we should be injanuary. let's focus on the rain in the south, heavy, and persistent in southern counties, pushing into london and east anglia, could see 50 millimetres of rain in one or two spots and the winds are whipping up across the channel islands. elsewhere, the showers are becoming fewer across the north, more pushing into the west later on. the rain will go into eastern england through the night as the winds pick up. in the clear skies across central and western areas later, there could be a touch of frost to take us into tomorrow morning. fewershowers frost to take us into tomorrow morning. fewer showers tomorrow but the emphasis continues to be on dry weather as we head towards the weekend and beyond. chilly by night and mist and fog in the mornings. that sounded like a song when you told us anyway. very lyrical. it’s told us anyway. very lyrical. it's 'ust the told us anyway. very lyrical. it's just the sunshine, it lifts everybody. as we've been hearing,

junior doctors in england are beginning the second day of their longest ever strike. the six—day walk—out, which comes just two weeks after their last set of strikes, is part of a dispute over pay and conditions. 0ur reporter leigh milner has been talking to doctors and patients at basildon hospital in essex. they've been out on the picket lines since 7:00 yesterday morning. their decision to walk out follows a dispute over pay. the bma, that's the british medical association, says they deserve more, but it's having an impact on patients. at basildon, broomfield and southend hospitals, half ofjunior doctors are on strike. around 100 scheduled operations have been cancelled and 1,200 outpatient appointments have been rescheduled. this week is usually the hardest week for our staff, particularly in emergency departments. we have prioritised particularly our consultant workforce and the junior doctors that have come into work today to focus on emergency care and cancer surgeries.

that means planned operations like hip and knee replacements and check—ups will be hugely disrupted. eileen wilson, who's a local lib dem councillor, has been waiting for a hip operation at addenbrooke's in cambridge she says she's in a great deal of pain and to have it done privately will cost her £17,000, money she's not willing to pay when she can get it on the nhs. every time i've rung up the hospital i'm just way down the waiting list. like, at one point they said there were 80 people in front of me waiting to see a consultant orthopedic surgeon, and then when i rang back again about a month or so later, there were 90 people because of the impact of the strikes. but eileen doesn't blame junior doctors for walking out. instead, she feels let down by the government. health secretary victoria atkins has said that if the strikes

are called off, the government would immediately look to restart talks. but in the meantime, during what will be the longest strike action in nhs history, consultants like drjason dungu over at basildon hospital have to act down to coverjunior doctors. we make sure that there's enough coverfor the inpatients so it's not more busy because we're not doing the elective and routine work. so what should patients do over the next six days? well, if you have a life threatening emergency, make sure you still call 999. otherwise, you can call the 111 service. if you have a planned operation or an appointment, you can still attend unless you've been told otherwise. leigh milner, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian leads on comments from the junior doctors union the bma warning that there could be more strike action ahead. the paper says this leaves "rishi sunak facing fresh pressure over his pledge to reduce nhs waiting times". the times focuses on a warning

from 12 countries, including the uk, telling houthi rebels in yemen to halt attacks on shipping in the red sea. the group has carried out more than 20 such raids on commercial vessels since november. and the metro leads on "henk�*s heroes" following storm henk. the paper reports on a couple who saved a mother and her child as their car was swept away by the water in birmingham. how long would it take you to count everyone in your household? for london zoo, it's a week—long undertaking that requires them to tally up every creature living there. that includes its humboldt penguins. 0ne, one, two, three, four, nicely lined up one, two, three, four, nicely lined up for the count. i one, two, three, four, nicely lined up for the count.— up for the count. i think they were linin: u- up for the count. i think they were lining no for— up for the count. i think they were lining up for the _ up for the count. i think they were lining up for the fish, _ up for the count. i think they were lining up for the fish, to _ up for the count. i think they were lining up for the fish, to be - lining up for the fish, to be completely honest. easier to count the galapagos tortoises.—

looking at the faulty computer system which caused the wrongful conviction and investment of hundreds of post office workers. brute hundreds of post office workers. we have hundreds of post office workers. - have talked about a lot on this show. the show has generated a huge response, including from breakfast viewers. ben has more on this. it is the final episode tonight? yes, at the final tonight. a lot of people are unaware of what had happened in what is described as one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in british history. this drama keeps it in the spotlight. yes, plenty of you getting in touch, some asking why there have been no new criminal prosecutions against those responsible. lots of you saying you love the drama. plenty also saying its made their "blood boil" that it took so long before any action was taken.

let mejust remind you — this scandal began way back in 1999 with the introduction of the horizon computer system. faults in the software, producing large accounting shortfalls, then led to the wrongful prosecution of more than 700 post office employees, some serving prison sentences and many financially ruined by the experience. it was only following a long class action legal campaign that they were found to have been wrongfully convicted in 2019. last night's episode of the tv drama concentrated on the process to clear the names of those wrongfully prosecuted. here is a clip featuring a cameo by former chancellor nadim zahawi on a select committee as the scandal was first unfolding. it sounds to me like a shambles. we are hearing from bob that your organisation has been obstructive to his independent work, is that right or wrong? we have provided for every single case detailed,

thorough, independent... let me stop you there. we just heard from bob, who is independent, that you have not. you are the head of the organisation. will you provide the information, yes or no? this is the first time that i have been asked for this information. yes or no? i am not aware... will you provide it, yes or no? give me a simple answer. the public inquiry resumes its work next week and there are still many issues to be resolved around compensation for those wrongfully convicted. and so far only 93 convictions have actually been overturned with calls for many more outstanding ones to be quashed. another key person featured in the drama is paula vennells. she was the chief executive of the post office between 2012 and 2019, during which prosecutions of workers were still being carried out despite evidence already existing that there were faults in the system.

the mp who chairs the parliamentary goup on post offices says those involved in the scandal have not been held fully accountable. i think those people who got honest because of the work that they did i think those people who got honours because of the work that they did in post office limited who are connected to hiding things, prosecuting innocent people, i think their honours should be taken back. and i'm referring specifically here to paula vennells and her team, and those investigators who have already shown that at the inquiry how little they considered the effect of what they were doing. the public inquiry is not due to conclude and report its final findings until early next year. the post office says it fully shares the aims of the inquiry, to establish what went wrong in the past and the accountability for it. later in the programme we will be

speaking to alan bates, the former sub—postmaster who has led the campaign forjustice. thank you very much. you're watching breakfast. still to come on today's show. the lifeboat marooned, somewhere at sea men are at danger. i the lifeboat marooned, somewhere at sea men are at danger.— sea men are at danger. i love those voice-overs! _ as the rnli celebrates its 200th anniversary, we'll hear about the three generations of one family who have all volunteered to save lives at sea. it will be talking to us and we will be getting an account of a rather dramatic rescue as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. thames water has apologised after sewage from storm tanks overflowed onto a public footpath in horley in surrey. singer and campaigner feargal sharkey claimed on x

that thames water had "given up any attempt to contain and treat their sewage". thames water said a temporary pump has been installed. luton airport has confirmed work to dismantle a multi—storey car park that caught fire in october is now underway. the blaze is believed to have started in a diesel car before spreading rapidly to hundreds of others, causing cancelled flights and major disruption. cars are now carfully being removed, and then handled by salvage companies. the work is expected to take around 16 weeks. the cost of heating has meant more and more people are turning to warm banks — spaces where you can go when its cold. one charity has set up around 300 of them across london — like this one in walthamstow. as well as warmth, they often provide services like a discount shop, and often become a vital part of the neighbourhood in which they operate in. people came because they were looking for warmth. that was the idea.

they wouldn't be able to turn on the heating at home, so they came for the heating. but often what they did is they stayed for the meeting because they met people. they connected with people here in there in their communities. and we found that that social connection, and meeting friends and chatting with them, volunteering at spaces, that's been a really big impact. staff at london zoo have begun their annual animal count. the stocktake of everything from giant tortoises to every insect they look after is a legal requirement. every creature from around 300 different species needs to be logged and recorded. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. after clear skies last night, it's quite a chilly start this morning. a bright start with a little bit of sunshine, but gradually that cloud is going to increase. this system coming up from the southwest is also going to bring some heavy rain and some stronger winds.

now the met office has a yellow weather warning in place. it's valid for midday for heavy rain, but like i said, it should be a dry start. some bright spells, that cloud increases, though. the rain, we could be seeing 20 to 30 millimetres of rain if not more locally. temperatures today still relatively mild at ten celsius, but a degree or two cooler than yesterday. now, as we head overnight, that system will start to clear away however it spirals around. so, more rain. that warning in place until 3:00 tomorrow morning, but gradually it should start to shift away eastward. still left with a legacy of cloud. a chilly night too where it starts to clear with a minimum there of three celsius for tomorrow. so that legacy of cloud, any spots of rain clearing a drier afternoon and temperatures feeling cooler. that's it for now. check out the bbc news app for all the latest including more on the upcoming tube strike that's due to start this week and what it could mean for services. kath melandroo is on bbc radio london this morning and i'll be

back in half an hour, but for now let's go back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. you'd hope to recognise a family member orfriend from theirface alone. you'd probably recognise your pet dog or cat too. but what about a bird? well, each bewick swan has a unique face which enables researchers to count them and track their family histories — and that's exactly what's been happening at the slimbridge wetland centre, in gloucestershire, for 60 years, as our environment correspondentjonah fisher reports. whistling. peter scott started this 60 years ago. whenever he was coming out with a feed, he'd give a little whistle. whistling. just so they know someone friendly is coming out. breakfast time at slimbridge.

and somewhere amongst the squabbling geese, an increasingly rare type of swan. the bewick swans are really unique because they are literally recognisable by their faces. a bit like us. smaller than mute swans, the yellow and black beak pattern of each bewicks distinct, enabling researchers to recognize them year after year. george ii. the swans arrive from the russian arctic each autumn and are counted every day. names are given to individuals. they definitely have distinct personalities. and there are swan family dynasties. the most famous is the gambling dynasty. the matriarch of that family from the 1960s was a bird called casino. we've also had the tea party as well. teapot and teabag. winkie. he's 27 years old. winker will come along as well. and they've had cygnets in the past.

sirindi, who is at slimbridge at the moment, he's one of the divorcees, but the cheese dynasty was quite a big one. roquefort, cheddar, stilton. i think that's maisie. that's maisie coming in on the right hand side. so she's number two. number two family on the pond and making that point known there, by pushing that other family away. probably best to think of them as mafias rather than families. this year, 91 bewicks swans have been seen at slimbridge. in the 19705, there was sometimes more than 600. the bewick swan, sadly, its numbers are plummeting very, very quickly and have been for quite some time. sojust to give you an idea, in the mid—1990s we were looking at around 29,000 birds in the population in europe, and now we think there's fewer than 18,000. so there's a huge decline in their numbers. so, welcome to the scott house museum. this is where the bill pattern study first started in 1963. this winter is the 60th anniversary of the bewicks swan survey.

it was started by conservationist sir peter scott, who sat at this window meticulously painting the beaks of every swan. here is one of the bewicks swan books that peter worked on, and you can see here these beautiful drawings that he did of each individual bill pattern. and you can see that there are three perspectives that he painted for each swan. and that's the left and the right side, but also the front. this is one of the world's longest running animal research projects. and the advantage of having so much data year after year is the information it provides, not just about how they live and how they migrate, but how these beautiful swans are adapting to our warming changing climate. the decline of the bewicks is being

blamed in part on their wetland habitat being destroyed. climate change is also altering their migration routes. longer summers in the russian arctic and warmer european autumns mean the swans don't have to come as far as slimbridge to find winter feeding grounds. bewick swans are essentially barometers for what's happening to other birds and other species in the natural world. so when we see the bewick swans declining, we know that there's probably trouble in other bird populations as well. it'sjust one lake and a single species. but chronicled over 60 years, the bewick�*s fate is a telling snapshot of our rapidly changing planet. jonah fisher, bbc news at slimbridge. for news at slimbridge. you, from the calm of the outdoors, for you, from the calm of the outdoors, to what went on last night, here is a contrast for you. by,

but he does take home £200,000. and of course, the teenager has taken the sport by storm, with many of us tuned in to watch his debut at the world championship. luke s semi—final win over rob cross set a sky tournament viewing record with a peak audience of 2.32 million ? surpassing the 2015 final of 1.65 million. the viewing peak for the semi—finals was up by 165% compared to last year s. and the 1st ofjanuary saw sky sports' highest ever new year s day figures with a share of more than 18 percent of all under 35 year—olds watching. and it was a final that caught the imagination of so many in the uk last night, with even the prime minister watching. rishi sunak tweeted — "congratulations luke, a great win tonight. what an incredible final to end an historic championship. i know that both players will be leading the sport for years to come." two time champion

adrian lewis said: "well done to luke humphries, well deserved and — wow — a new darting superstar in luke littler, absolute quality. " and sports broadcasterjeff stelling was also watching — he said: "great world darts final and luke humphries brilliant. amazing how far this has come since 1994 at the circus tavern in purfleet! such a great event." joining me now is matt porter, who's the chief executive of the pdc. an early start for you after a late night _ an early start for you after a late night so — an early start for you after a late night so we appreciate you coming along _ night so we appreciate you coming along you — night so we appreciate you coming along. you must be very happy this morning _ along. you must be very happy this morning. what a fantastic final. humphries, the worthy winner, particularly after he had gone through— particularly after he had gone through quite a few mental health challenges that he spoke about on the stage, that he has had difficulty even stepping onto in the past and _ difficulty even stepping onto in the past and now he is the world champion— past and now he is the world champion in the world number one. yeah, _ champion in the world number one. yeah, remarkable and a tournament

the midfielder has scored 17 goals for real madrid since joining them in the summer. john stones, kyle walker and harry kane also make the 23—man shortlist. plenty of lionesses nominated for the women's team too. goalkeeper and bbc sports personality of the year mary earps is one of eight england players shortlisted. the final world xi will be announced onjanuary the 15th in london. day two of the second test between south africa and india isjust over an hour away from starting — and if play is anything like what happened on day one — then we've got plenty to look forward to. incredibly 23 wickets fell on the opening day — south africa batting first made just 55 — as india's mohammed siraj finished with career—best figures of 6 wickets for 15 runs. india were in control at 153—4 — but then lost six wickets without scoring another run. south africa will resume this morning on 62 for 3 — still 36 runs behind.

let's start with the organisation's lifeblood — the men and women who risk their own lives to save others at sea. fiona lamdin went to meet three generations of the same family who have all volunteered. archive: a lifeboat marooned. somewhere at sea, men are in danger. for the last 200 years, our shores have been manned by an army of volunteers on call every hour of every day of the year. they are the rnli. milford port lifeboat... for information, we've done an emergency landing. person not conscious and not breathing. meet the clemence family. 81—year—old grandad john, 57—year—old uncle steve and 23 year old granddaughter sophie. between them, they've spent decades saving lives. john was 16 when he signed up in 1958. when we were first in it, one

of the crew didn't have any boots. we didn't have enough boots to go around. there was eight of us on the boat and there was only seven pairs of boots. so all he had on was socks and he was out all night like that, just a pair of socks on. and the boots weren't like they are now, where you can go downstairs and sit down. i mean, wet would be an understatement. so this is your main plotter? yes. so, this is all the charts. john volunteered for 40 years, rescuing many, but inevitably there were a few who couldn't be saved. these still haunt him. i remember one particular shout. we had a yacht went in and we lost two children. we could hear the children calling out in amongst all the waves and the noise. but we couldn't see them. when you think of it, you sort of think, "0h, i wish we could have got those kids", you know"? and forjohn's son, steve, joining was not even a question. we're all volunteers. nobody gets paid. but there is a huge value in doing

something for nothing, right? you're just doing what you know needs to be done. for granddaughter sophie, who spent much of her childhood at the lifeboat station, it was always in her blood. on the bow. on the bow side! | i looked up to everybody that wentj to sea, and i knew i always wanted to do it. hold tight. when that pager goes off, that's when you get that l big rush of adrenaline. when it's pitch black and warm of rain, freezing cold _ and rough and horrible. it's not always the nicest. and sometimes you do get off that inshore boat - and you can't actually walk. we're deep in the archives of the rnli, and every single rescue is recorded. that's 144,000 lives saved at sea. and here is the original record of their very first meeting on the 4th of march 1824,

where it all started. 200 years ago, what sir william henry, our founder, was trying to do was create a national lifeboat organisation which would ensure that wherever you were off the coast of the uk and ireland, whoever you were, you could be rescued by a lifeboat. but also it was incredibly dangerous in that early period. and he knew that if people were injured or killed whilst going out on a rescue, that their families would be left destitute. so he wanted to make sure that their families would be looked after. so we were about ten miles, i think, out there on the wreck. and 200 years on, they're still saving lives. keen divers geoff and robin got into trouble last easter. last time this rnli crew saw robin, he was unconscious. today is the first time they've met since the rescue. hi, geoff. lovely to meet you again.

hi guys. nice to meet you. 25 minutes since the dive, and i got this horrible feeling. i just... i don't know where it came from. it's never happened to me before. ijust really felt uneasy, really unsafe down there. at 30 metres, almost down a hundred feet, yeah, it felt a dangerous place to be. to this day, robin doesn't know exactly what went wrong. we surfaced together. i looked over at robin _ and he was face down in the water. i first thing he did was vomit somei seawater, and then there was blood and stuff coming up. at that point, i was really frightened. l murray and john were the first on the scene. yeah. you could immediately see that robin was very, very poorly and in need of serious medical attention. but also we knew that the helicopter was already in the air and on its way to us. robin was airlifted to hospital and rushed to a decompression chamber. where would i be without them?

probably not here today. robin will never dive again. but nine months on, remarkably, he's made a full recovery thanks to the speed and the actions of the crew who came to save him, fiona lamdin, bbc news. and we'll bejoined by robin, jeff and their rescuers on the sofa later on this morning. we'll be talking to members of the rnli and understand more of what they do and what it means to have a story like that and be rescued by volunteers, let's not forget, they are volunteers.— are volunteers. very poignant as well hearing _ are volunteers. very poignant as well hearing one _ are volunteers. very poignant as well hearing one of _ are volunteers. very poignant as well hearing one of those - are volunteers. very poignant as - well hearing one of those volunteers saying you talk about the people who were saved, thousands of lives that they have saved but also how those stories, those occasions when you weren't able to save people, which inevitably happens, how they sit

with you over the years. we will talk more about some of those stories later on. coming up on breakfast. we'll hear how 11 historic homes, in a cornish holiday hotspot, were sold off forjust one pound — but they'll only be used by local people. that's coming up at a quarter past seven. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. luton airport has confirmed work to dismantle a multistorey car park that caught fire in october is now under way. the blaze is believed to have started in a diesel car before spreading rapidly to hundreds of others, causing cancelled flights and major disruption. cars are now carfully being removed and then handled by salvage companies. the work is expected to take around 16 weeks. thames water has apologised after sewage from storm tanks overflowed onto a public footpath in horley in surrey.

singer and campaigner feargal sharkey claimed on x that thames water had "given up any attempt to contain and treat their sewage". thames water said a temporary pump has been installed. the cost of heating has meant more and more people are turning to warm banks, spaces where you can go when its cold. one charity has set up around 300 of them across london like this one in walthamstow. as well as warmth they provide other services like a discount shop and often become a vital part of the neighbourhood in which they operate. people came because they were looking for warmth. that was the idea. they wouldn't be able to turn on the heating at home, so they came for the heating. but often what they did is they stayed for the meeting because they met people. they connected with people here in there in their communities. and we found that that social connection, and meeting friends and chatting with them, volunteering at spaces, that's been a really big impact. staff at london zoo have begun their annual animal count the stocktake of everything

that system will start to clear away however it spirals around. so, more rain. that warning in place until 3:00 tomorrow morning, but gradually it should start to shift away eastward. still left with a legacy of cloud. a chilly night too where it starts to clear with a minimum there of three celsius for tomorrow. so that legacy of cloud, any spots of rain clearing a drier afternoon and temperatures feeling cooler. that's it for now. check out the bbc news app for all the latest including more on the upcoming tube strike that's due to start this weekend and what it could mean for services. kath melandroo is on bbc radio london this morning and i'll be back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. a row over claims that striking doctors refused requests to return to work. the bma union accuses nhs bosses of undermining the emergency cover system. a court in the us has published more than 900 pages of documents detailing people connected to sex offenderjeffrey epstein. a man has been arrested after three separate shooting incidents in liverpool including outside a cinema. luke humphries is the greatest darting force on the planet right now. luke humphries wins a gripping world darts final to see off the challenge of 16—year—old luke littler.

yes, the fairy tale for the teenager is over, but a star is born. luke littler may not have won the final, but he's captured the public�*s imagination after his incredible run in the tournament. and drier weather is within our grasp, not quite yet, more rain to come for some today especially across southern counties of england where there will be a lot of rain later on. i will have your full forecast here on breakfast. it's thursday the 4th of january. our main story. a row about emergency cover has broken out between nhs bosses and union leaders, as a strike byjunior doctors in england enters its second day. yesterday nhs leaders made 20 requests for striking doctors to return to the wards and help overstretched services but the british medical association accused them of misusing the system, which is known as derogation. a number of nhs trusts have reported long waiting times in a&e, with some declaring critical incidents. here's more from our

health editor hugh pym. # hey, vicky, ooh, ahh # i wanna know when you'll pay us fair. with junior doctors out on strike, a row between their union, the british medical association and nhs leaders in england has blown up. under an agreed system, trust bosses can call striking junior doctors back into work in extreme circumstances and if the safety of emergency services is threatened. but they have to demonstrate they've exhausted all other sources of staffing. the bma claims that trusts aren't producing enough evidence and out of 20 requests so far, almost all have been rejected. we had no requests for derogation in december and we have had a handful of credible requests for derogation in the past, including some that we have granted. but this time we've had substantial numbers with inaccurate

or incomplete request forms, which are demonstrating a real change in the approach from central nhs management, which we think is a misuse of the process. nhs england said strong evidence was provided when the most challenged systems needed support and it was expected local health managers would ask colleagues for allowances to be made to ensure safe cover. the row comes at a time of mounting pressure on health services in england, with some organisations declaring critical incidents or warning they were very busy with long waits in a&e. this is not unusual in mid—winter, but the doctors' walk—out as to the usual challenges faced by hospital bosses. with the strike moving into a second day, there seems little prospect of talks between ministers and the bma before the action is over on tuesday. that means some more anxious days for hospitals and their patients.

hugh pym, bbc news. five minutes past seven and naga has five minutes past seven and naga has more stories for you now. newly released court documents relating to the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein have been made public overnight. the 900—page document includes associates, friends and alleged victims of the disgraced billionaire, who killed himself in jail five years ago. our north america correspondent peter bowes sent us this update a little earlier. as expected, these documents include the names of some very high—profile people who we know, we have known for some time have been associated with him. prince andrew is mentioned more than 60 times. some of the allegations against him are repeated. allegations that the palace has described as categorically untrue in the past. bill clinton, the former president, again we expected this, he is also mentioned. he would usejeffrey epstein's plane to fly to africa on

humanitarian trips but again in these particular documents, there are no suggestions of any illegal activity by the firm of president. former president trump again a few mentions and no suggestion that he was involved in any wrongdoing. apart from the famous people, others are mentioned as well and it's notable that the judge when she authorised the release of these documents said that many of those people had not objected and it's almost as if there is for some people are clearing of the air that they might have crossed paths with jeffrey epstein in some point in the past but they are not implicated in their crimes. that's what we are seeing in these documents. this isn't the end of the story, there are still more of these documents to be released in the coming days. a man has been arrested after shots were allegedly fired at three separate locations in liverpool, including a shop and a cinema. merseyside police declared a major incident after the shootings, which took place in the croxteth

people were advised to stay indoors, shops at a nearby retail park were told to close. there was then a third incident at another house in the cockpit area, overshooting —— in the cockpit area, overshooting —— in the crocs to area. police say that this morning they arrested a 49—year—old man and say he became aggressive while being arrested and he was tasered. he was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and suspicion of robbery and he is being questioned at a police station on merseyside. this was a major incident and police say they understand how distressing this can be for people but it is the first time they have had to deal with an incident like this of multiple shootings in a short space of time on merseyside. police say, they stress that nobody has been injured in this. the cinema chain showcase

issued a statement saying that the safety of their staff and customers was the number one priority and they have been cooperating with the police now that the investigation is ongoing. police now that the investigation is onauoin. . ~ police now that the investigation is onauoin. ., ~' ,, police now that the investigation is onauoin. ., ~' . , police now that the investigation is onauoin. . ~ i, iran's supreme leader has vowed a harsh response after 95 people were killed in a double bombing. it happened near the tomb of the iranian general qasem soleimani as supporters gathered on the anniversary of his death. there were no immediate claims of responsibility for what's believed to have been the deadliest such attack in the country in more than four decades. the us secretary of state antony blinken is travelling to the middle east today in his fourth trip to the region since the october 7th attack. mr blinken will visit israel as part of the tour as fears grow that its conflict with hamas could spiral into a regional war. a dozen countries including the uk and us have issued a joint statement demanding that houthi rebels in yemen stop attacking merchant ships in the red sea. the statement said

the iranian—backed militants would face consequences if the attacks continue. a judge in the us state of nevada has suffered minor injuries after a defendant leapt over the bench and attacked her. clark county district courtjudge mary kay holthus was knocked over in the incident which happened during sentencing but did not need hospital treatment. the clothing retailer next has just released its latest trading it wasn't to be for 16—year—old luke littler at the darts world championships. instead, it was a night to rememberfor luke humphries, who beat his young opponent to take the title, and £500,000 in prize money. our sports correspondent natalie pirks was watching at alexandra palace. the ascension is complete! as luke humphries sank to his knees in elation, luke littler could only reflect on what might have been following a fairy tale run that had captured the nation's attention.

it's been a good tournament. i've gained a lot of experience and a lot of stage experience myself. i'm in the top 32 now, so potentially being there for next year. so it's another busy year ahead. the big build up, the long walk. the teen sensation had [it up the palace. but luke humphries is 12 years his senior and he made every year of experience count to take the first set comfortably. littler needed to settle. he has big dreams. he nails big finishes. but they don't call humphries cool hand luke for nothing. how about this, luke humphries. this match was ebbing and flowing, but on the smallest of margins, tides can turn. was this the moment? littler was up, but onlyjust. and when missed doubles crept in, humphries hauled it back in spectacularfashion, winning four sets on the spin to set up the end. littler had been on a roller coaster and taken us all along for the ride.

but you know what they say, good things must come to an end. i'm going to be very, very busy over the next 12 months. i know that. but i've got to make sure that i don't work too hard and not allow myself to enjoy the moment, because, you know, i've just achieved something that is a dream for a dart player. so, you know, i'm really, really pleased and over the moon. so the teenage dream is over, for now. we haven't seen the last of luke the nuke. natalie pirks, bbc news, alexandra palace. and we'll be speaking to the new pdc world darts champion, luke humphries, after eight o'clock. the clothing retailer next has just released its latest trading statement which show how they fared over the christmas period. ben's here to take us through the numbers. either reason you look at it is it is is seen as a real indicator and a

stalwart of christmas trading? next has said sales were better than expected during november and december — the crucial period leading up to christmas. it made £38 million more than it expected — and those sales were up 5.7% compared with the same period the year before. the group, which trades from about 460 stores in the uk and ireland and has an online presence in over 70 countries, is often considered a useful gauge of how british consumers are faring. it seems to be faring well despite the cost of living pressures that are squeezing people's pockets. next has updated its forecast for the full financial year — saying it now expects to make a profit before tax of £905 million which would be 4% up on last year. which itself was an improvement on the year before. it is worth noting that it has warned that that situation in the red sea, with the houthi rebels

attacking containerships, could have an effect on its stock availability if the ships are continuing to be delayed. so a global situation affecting our high street in the uk. this morning, later on we will be speaking to the winner of the darts last night, cool hand luke, that is just after 8:30am. last night, cool hand luke, that is just after8:30am. something last night, cool hand luke, that is just after 8:30am. something tells me he will have had a big night. so in advance, i am saying, thank you for getting up so early for us! maybe you are watching right now, thank you, it might be painful but we are looking forward to talking to you. matt is looking at the weather. that is such a beautiful picture, good morning. that is such a beautiful picture, good morning-— that is such a beautiful picture, good morning. that is such a beautiful picture, aood morninu. , , ., ., good morning. tempting you with what is to come. good morning. tempting you with what is to com a — good morning. tempting you with what is to come. a bit _ good morning. tempting you with what is to come. a bit of— good morning. tempting you with what is to come. a bit of sunshine _ good morning. tempting you with what is to come. a bit of sunshine on - is to come. a bit of sunshine on the wa , is to come. a bit of sunshine on the way. drying — is to come. a bit of sunshine on the way. drying out? — is to come. a bit of sunshine on the way. drying out? it _ is to come. a bit of sunshine on the

the evening fewer showers across the north, many will finish the day dry but overnight tonight more showers pushing in. rain continuing to slide into eastern counties with the windy remaining strong through the english channel through the night. in the clear skies between the two, temperatures low enough for a touch of frost. a cold starts tomorrow, pretty cold mornings ahead but after friday fewer in the way of showers, most places drier with mist and fog and that gives the rivers a chance to full. it has been particularly wet recently, we have seen a months worth of rain in the first three daysin worth of rain in the first three days in nottingham. so we have got 270 flood warnings across uk at the moment. yes, we will keep a close eye on that, lots of flood warnings. more than 260 flood warnings remain

in place for england after the impact of storm henk continues to be felt across the uk. police say a man was killed in gloucestershire when a falling tree hit his car as mairead smyth reports. this is the horror of storm henk as winds of more than 90 miles per hour hit areas across the uk. a huge tree fell across this road in gloucester, claiming the life of a man in his fifties while he was driving. emergency services attended the scene and despite efforts by all medical services, a male occupant of one of the vehicles was declared deceased at the scene. male was aged in his fifties from the bath area, we understand. his next of kin have been informed and we have specialist officers that are supporting the family at this difficult time. in essex, another car crushed and in ipswich this car was lifted by a falling tree. in london, a scare for a family from bournemouth after the roof hatch was ripped off their pod on the london eye. we stopped right at the top and the wind started to blow with a bit of a vengeance. and at that point, there's a roofed hatch on the top of the pod we were in and that got pulled off.

a spokesperson for the london eye said they closed the attraction for a short time because of an isolated technical issue and immediately ensured that guests safely disembarked. with the high winds came heavy rain causing misery forfamilies in lincolnshire who've been flooded multiple times. if something drastic isn't done to change it, we're just waiting for the next time and that's all it'll be, the next time because it ain't going to stop. this is the second flood from the river beck in rossington in three months. it's psychologically destroyed. it'sjust, you know, it's like, i don't want to be here no more. but you think, what can we do, you know? in wiltshire, the rising water table from the river bybrook brought water up through the floor of homes in castle combe. well, it's, you know, it's all your stuff, but stuff is not that important at the end of the day. but it shows you how quickly things can change.

and even in a beautiful village like this, you know, there's a couple of issues, but not life threatening. so for that, i'm grateful. ground waterflooding is becoming more common, so pumps are being issued to help homeowners. in warwickshire, locals say it's been decades since the woolston brook breached its banks. this was the scene in the early hours of tuesday morning. claire, who is mum to nine week old twin girls, says she was terrified. it happened really quickly and then, you know, you just go into panic mode. we were trying to save everything we could, take furniture upstairs and then it got to the point where itjust felt really unsafe. we had to turn off all the electrics and we just had to get out with the babies. i thought i was going to have to jump out a window at one point. the community came together to clean up. i seen last night how the way people help each other. even now, everyone helping me. you can see that. so it's amazing, amazing,

thank you for everyone. in derby, flood water from the river derwent poured into the rugby club. footage from derby mountain rescue team shows the area submerged in water and cars abandoned nearby on the a515in sudbury, unable to make it through the floodwater from the river dove. and one of the heroes of storm henk as a mother and her baby were rescued from this car in birmingham. "please get my baby out of the car, get my baby out the car." she was only three or two, i don't know. but she was shouting, "my baby" and i'm a father, you know, i've got kids and it's just instinct. i had to do something. the met office has issued a further yellow warning for heavy rain across southern england from noon today until the early hours of tomorrow morning. mairead is near the london eye this morning, which as we saw in her report, was impacted by those

high winds yesterday. pretty dramatic scenes playing out for a group of people in one of those pods. for a group of people in one of those pods-— for a group of people in one of those ods. , " , .,, ., ., those pods. yes, 11 people in one of the ods those pods. yes, 11 people in one of the pods told _ those pods. yes, 11 people in one of the pods told their _ those pods. yes, 11 people in one of the pods told their story _ those pods. yes, 11 people in one of the pods told their story about - those pods. yes, 11 people in one of the pods told their story about how| the pods told their story about how the pods told their story about how the hatch came off the top of the pod as they reached the top of the london eye. this is a particularly spectacular attraction in the capital, this family had been visiting from bournemouth. they spoke about their experience. a spokesperson for the london i wanted to reassure people that they did everything to make sure that all of their customers were safe and the attraction was stopped for a brief period of time before it reopened. this was just one area of the country where high winds caused some drama over the last few days. yes. and we have _ drama over the last few days. yes. and we have got _ drama over the last few days. yes. and we have got more _ drama over the last few days. yes. and we have got more blood warnings and water levels still a concern ——

warning is in place from noon today until the early hours of tomorrow morning in the south of the country. and the environment agency has asked people to be careful when they go out for walks along coastal paths, just to be aware of how strong the water can be. it is up to all of us to be careful when we are out and about but that clean—up operation, that we see a part of the country where people come together to do it, it doesn't take away the misery that many people will face. unfortunately it happens time and time again. thank you very much for the moment, mairead. we can see the london eye behind her, and matt will keep fully informed about what the weather will be doing next. you won't find many homes priced at less than ten pence anywhere in the uk, but particularly not a holiday hotspot in cornwall. a set of 11 historic flats in the town of looe has been sold

off for a pound to a charity which will refurbish them to provide accommodation for local residents. our south—west england correspondent jenny kumar went for a look around. looe, a stunning coastal town with lots of holiday homes, but it's also at the helm of a new social housing project. these old cottages are council flats and need millions of pounds of repairs. valued at more than £600,000, locals feared they'd be sold off to a private developer, but a local charity is buying them for a song. this is one of the coastguard flats, and as you come in on the right, there's a living room which has lovely views overlooking looe. on the left, there's a kitchen. there's also a bathroom, a couple of bedrooms. all of this plus ten other flats bought forjust £1. so this is the main bedroom. so you got this and ten others for a pound? we did, but we've taken on a huge commitment in reality,

we've taken at least £1.5 million worth of commitment. you can see the state of them, there's a lot of work. structure's basically sound, but we are going to pour money into these to make them into good houses. the council says it can't afford to refurbish these flats. this project can because it can access funding the authority can't. these are typically going to be for young people moving away from home for the first time, but they get to stay in the town. this is the bar staff, the cleaners, the care workers who are normally having to leave because there's nowhere to live. this small town has 265 second homes. 240 households are on the social housing waiting lists. many locals can't afford to buy or rent here, including paul. it's next to impossible on my salary. a tattoo artist in his late 305. he's lived with his parents since splitting up with his ex years ago. i think it's abhorrent that it's such a hard, hard task to find a house

in the town that you grew up in. i think that's gutting communities. it's terrible. tenants living in these old cottages share similar concerns. there's no community spirit here any more. you know, it used to be years ago. you go up the street, you don't see anybody that you actually know, they're all visitors. anne and christine are glad these flats will be kept for local people. the housing trust took on a similar project here in the village of cawsand. they bought three council owned coastguard cottages and renovated them. two years ago, rosie was desperately searching for somewhere to live. she was eight months pregnant with elijah and facing eviction when the opportunity to rent here came up. it's amazing here, and everyone who's local loves it, but i think 60% of it is housing for holiday home owners.

so it's kind ofjust not available to locals. yeah, when this came up, it was perfect. we're really lucky to live here. many hope the success here can be replicated far and wide to help those in housing need. jenny kumah, bbc news, cawsand. the teenage darts sensation luke littler didn't quite get his fairy tale ending at last night's world championships but what a way to make his name. you can have on a big sporting occasion one against one, two winners effectively. i occasion one against one, two winners effectively.— occasion one against one, two winners effectively. i mean, luke humphries— winners effectively. i mean, luke humphrieswon— winners effectively. i mean, luke humphries won it, _ winners effectively. i mean, luke humphries won it, and _ winners effectively. i mean, luke humphries won it, and he - winners effectively. i mean, luke humphries won it, and he played| humphries won it, and he played brilliantly, we are talking to him in 45 minutes or maybe one hour. but luke littler is the name and he is being credited for attracting new viewers to the darts. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin is at pub in luke's home town of warrington.

a vital part of the neighbourhood in which they operate. people came because they were looking for warmth. that was the idea. they wouldn't be able to turn on the heating at home, so they came for the heating. but often what they did is they stayed for the meeting because they met people. they connected with people here in there in their communities. and we found that that social connection, and meeting friends and chatting with them, volunteering at spaces, that's been a really big impact. a tesco express store in soho has been saved from demolition after being formally recognised as a "community asset". westminster city council made the decision about the dean street store after residents responded in a survey to say the supermarket would be "something they'd really miss". staff at london zoo have begun their annual animal count. the stocktake of everything from giant tortises to every insect they look after is a legal requirement. let's take a look at the tubes now.

the metropolitan has severe delays, and the overground is part suspended between surrey quays and clapham junction. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. after clear skies last night, it's quite a chilly start this morning. a bright start with a little bit of sunshine, but gradually that cloud is going to increase. this system coming up from the southwest is also going to bring some heavy rain and some stronger winds. now the met office has a yellow weather warning in place. it's valid for midday for heavy rain, but like i said, it should be a dry start. some bright spells, that cloud increases, though. the rain, we could be seeing 20 to 30 millimetres of rain if not more locally. temperatures today still relatively mild at ten celsius, but a degree or two cooler than yesterday. now, as we head overnight, that system will start to clear away however it spirals around. so, more rain.

that warning in place until 3:00 tomorrow morning, but gradually it should start to shift away eastward. still left with a legacy of cloud. a chilly night too where it starts to clear with a minimum there of three celsius for tomorrow. so that legacy of cloud, any spots of rain clearing a drier afternoon and temperatures feeling cooler. check out the bbc news app for all the latest including more on the upcoming tube strike that's due to start this weekend and what it could mean for services. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt from a young age, will melbourne was described as a genius with a troubled mind. a rising social media star who documented his mental health struggles online.

the crisis service is just not fit for purpose. and more than that is that no one should have to wait until they're in crisis to be treated. as the need got stronger, the help seemed to fall away even more. it was just... it's incredible. leave me alone. i think it's important to share my experience so other people can get the treatment that they need. it's now been three years, almost to the day since we lost will, and we have the inquest this morning. a long three years, trying to figure out how their son died. we're the ones that got his computer and did that. - it wasn't that the police took his computer away and investigated it. we have worked out how will died. he's left an awful lot of evidence of what happened that day. - that's my line here. with little support for his mental health, will began to self—medicate with illegal drugs. but this was kind of done in,

you know, in quite an autistic way. this is like an obsession with trying to make himself feel better. and that was one of the biggest mistakes in my life. stop it. let go. will's life had spiralled out of control during the strangling. let go. in the end, i went for a risk assessment and they said to me, you know, you've basically ticked every box of of risk and something has to change. you can't live in the same house with your son. that isjust... ..the most painful thing because that feels like, that feels like you're throwing out your sick child. but things were so desperate and so dangerous, there was really nothing else we could do.

will ended up in a flat in macclesfield. now the house isjust here on the left. it was run by a charity supporting those with mental health problems. at 18, he was the youngest there. this is assisted accommodation. he was supposed to be checked on. his room was at the back of the house. i he wasn't found until the sunday, but we know he died on the friday. he'd been lying dead in that room for almost three days. the policeman who attended - was really shocked that this could happen in an assisted accommodation. that somebody could die like that in those circumstances. _ that's an image that will never leave me or us. there were some tablets on his desk. on his desk, so near enough above him from where he was found. and it didn't appear that they'd been analysed at all. so we asked the coroner that they analyse them essentially,

because one of the things that we knew from the records was that will had self—medicated by ordering various tablets on the dark web. i found on his computer, written on the day that he died, a spreadsheet- where he'd recorded everything that he'd taken, every drug _ that he'd taken, what dosage of each drug that he'd taken _ and at what time. so this is a document that he made. there's a column "drug taken. oxycodone dose, 20 milligrams." those are the two tablets that were missing from the bag - of tablets on his desk. he thought he was taking oxycodone to help his anxieties. and unfortunately, the drug that supplied wasn't, and was a really nasty, nasty drug that's taken his life. those were, as we now|

know, were the tablets. we're absolutely sure that's how he died. i we've just come out of the inquest now. i it was a relief that the coroner. came to the conclusion that will's cause of death was a toxicity because, | we know that, from everything we've seen and everything - we've worked towards, like making sure thosej tablets were tested. despite all the things that were going against us, . that's something thatl we can take from this. everything is a fight. everything all the way along has been a fight. imagine if you couldn't do that and you didn't have parents? thanks for watching. the words of will melbourne, recorded shorty before his death, ending that report from ruth clegg. we should say thank you tojohn and sally for talking about will�*s lie.

luke s semi—final win over rob cross set a sky tournament viewing record with a peak audience of 2.32 million ? surpassing the 2015 final of 1.65 million. the viewing peak for the semi—finals was up by 165% compared to last year s. and the 1st ofjanuary saw sky sports' highest ever new year s day figures with a share of more than 18 percent of all under 35 year—olds watching. and it was a final that caught the imagination of so many in the uk last night, with even the prime minister watching. rishi sunak tweeted: "congratulations luke, a great win tonight. what an incredible final to end an historic championship. i know that both players will be leading the sport for years to come." two time champion adrian lewis said: "well done to luke humphries, well deserved and — wow — a new darting superstar in luke littler, absolute quality. "

and sports broadcasterjeff stelling was also watching — he said: "great world darts final and luke humphries brilliant. amazing how far this has come since 1994 at the circus tavern in purfleet! such a great event.". well, the chief excutive of the pdc, matt porter agrees — he spoke to breakfast earlier and said humphries had worked so hard and fully deserved the win, and that littler had made a huge impact on the sport. it's been remarkable. what a narrative he has generated in the last two or three weeks. - as he said himself, he wanted to go and win one match - and as a 16—year—old he qualified through the development tour. and it was a step into the unknown lfor him to go up and play in suchi a major environment but he delivered time after time and took it— all in his stride and notjust from what he's achieved i for himself but also the sport, - opening doors for a new demographic.

yeah, remarkable and a tournament that smashed all records _ and surpassed anything we've been able to deliver before _ but luke humphries overcoming. so many personal challenges to get where he is and he's won four of the last five major events i and for him to be crowned world - champion and made world number one last night in the rankings is the pinnacle of that. l he literally richly deserves it. away from the darts, jude bellingham's remarkable season continues to get better and better. he's on the shortlist for fifpro's world eleven team. the midfielder has scored 17 goals for real madrid since joining them in the summer. john stones, kyle walker and harry kane also make the 23—man shortlist. plenty of lionesses nominated for the women's team too. goalkeeper — and bbc sports personality of the year mary earps is one of eight england players shortlisted. the final world eleven will be announced onjanuary the 15th in london. the build up to the first tennis grand slam of the year is well underway, and not long to go before the start of the australian open in melbourne and great britain has gained an extra competitor for next week s qualifying competition. oliver crawford, who has two parents from birmingham, has now switched his nationality

from the united states to britain. the 24—year—old from south carolina, with a world ranking of 215, immediately becomes the british number 9. rugby, and if mako vunipola is to play a part for england in next month's six nations, he will do so without any real form under his belt. that's because he's been banned for four games, following his red card at the weekend whilst playing for club side saracens. that means his next game would be england's opener against italy, if he was selected by head coach steve borthwick. and that is your sport. we will see how that pans out.— and that is your sport. we will see how that pans out. marty is taking a look at the weather _ how that pans out. marty is taking a look at the weather for _ how that pans out. marty is taking a look at the weather for us _ how that pans out. marty is taking a look at the weather for us this - look at the weather for us this morning and, —— matt is taking a look at the weather for us this morning. i know we had a lot of rain and i know you will tell us we will

# i'd like to be under the sea barbara maclnnis turning on the style at her special 90th birthday drumming lesson. she only took up the drums properly last year under the guidance of chris joyce. happy birthday. thank you so much. i used to irritate my mother. i was always tapping things. in the beginning of the war, we had an anderson shelter in the garden, which was metal. excuse me. my mother used to say, stop tapping. and then i was dancing to barry white in the kitchen. and i started with that, with barry white. so and then from there, i progressed to spoons and the tambourine, and that led onto drums. i have three children, ten grandchildren, and i have ten great grandchildren. it's a cure. drumming can be a cure, a physical cure if you've got arthritis. ladies, i say ladies, because you know. so it's made me very happy.

i'm very happy. i'm a happy 90 year old. she's not the first talented musician teacher chris has worked with. he's been in some very influential bands, bands that people will know. durutti column, which is the first band on factory records, pete wylie and the mighty wah, and i did the first three albums with simply red. the drummer spent half a decade topping the charts with mick hucknall. the big question i want to ask is who's better to work with hocknull or barbara ? it's a tough choice, really. both quite difficult. but i would probably go with mick. i probably taught, i don't know, hundred or 200 people and barbara is up there in the top ten. i would say definitely she's a natural. and there's a saying in my house now — be like babs — because she's an inspiration to a lot of people.

a great teacher who took me from rock bottom. to to where i am doing things today. and i would say to anybody, take it up. and with that, we let babs resume birthday celebrations. well, at this point, there's only one song to sing. # happy birthday to you. ian haslam, bbc news. it's a great story. i will introduce you to two people sitting next to us. stephen and stevie, dad and daughter, who are both mental health nurses and we will explain the story but you appreciate the story, doing something that is good for the soul, basically. definitely. 90 years old and taking up drumming, which is terrific. ., ., ., and taking up drumming, which is terrific._ and - and taking up drumming, which isj terrific._ and that's terrific. never too late. and that's kind of your _ terrific. never too late. and that's kind of your story _ terrific. never too late. and that's kind of your story in _ terrific. never too late. and that's kind of your story in a _ terrific. never too late. and that's kind of your story in a way, - terrific. never too late. and that's i kind of your story in a way, because you too have graduated at the same time. this is father and daughter, but with very different tales to tell of how you came to that place. stephen, what is your story, first?

a huge response to the tv drama about the post office scandal that saw hundreds of innocent branch managers wrongfully prosecuted for theft. we'll hear from one who's fought for justice for twenty years. brighter weather is almost within our grasp but quite there yet, some rain in southern counties of england later, all of the details coming later, all of the details coming later on breakfast. it's thursday the 4th of january. our main story. a row about emergency cover has broken out between nhs bosses and union leaders, as a strike byjunior doctors in england enters its second day. yesterday nhs leaders made 20 requests for striking doctors to return to the wards and help overstretched services but the british medical association accused them of misusing the system, which is known as derogation. a number of nhs trusts have reported long waiting times in a&e, with some declaring critical incidents.

here's more from our health editor hugh pym. # hey, vicky, ooh, ahh # i wanna know when you'll pay us fair. with junior doctors out on strike, a row between their union, the british medical association and nhs leaders in england has blown up. under an agreed system, trust bosses can call striking junior doctors back into work in extreme circumstances and if the safety of emergency services is threatened. but they have to demonstrate they've exhausted all other sources of staffing. the bma claims that trusts aren't producing enough evidence and out of 20 requests so far, almost all have been rejected. we had no requests for derogation in december and we have had a handful of credible requests for derogation in the past, including some that we have granted. but this time we've had substantial numbers with inaccurate or incomplete request forms,

which are demonstrating a real change in the approach from central nhs management, which we think is a misuse of the process. nhs england said strong evidence was provided when the most challenged systems needed support and it was expected local health managers would ask colleagues for allowances to be made to ensure safe cover. the row comes at a time of mounting pressure on health services in england, with some organisations declaring critical incidents or warning they were very busy with long waits in a&e. this is not unusual in mid—winter, but the doctors' walk—out as to the usual challenges faced by hospital bosses. adds to the usual challenges faced by hospital bosses. with the strike moving into a second day, there seems little prospect of talks between ministers and the bma before the action is over on tuesday. that means some more anxious days for hospitals and their patients. hugh pym, bbc news.

five minutes past eight. naga, you have more now on a lot of documents, hundreds of documents relating to jeffrey epstein which have been released in the us court? newly released court documents relating to the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein have been made public overnight. the 900—page document includes associates, friends and alleged victims of the disgraced billionaire, who killed himself in jail five years ago. our north america correspondent peter bowes sent us this update. as expected, these documents include the names of some very high—profile people who we know, we have known for some time have been associated with him. prince andrew is mentioned more than 60 times. some of the allegations against him are repeated. allegations that the palace has described as categorically untrue in the past. bill clinton, the former president, again we expected this, he is also mentioned. he would usejeffrey epstein's plane

to fly to africa on humanitarian trips but again in these particular documents, there are no suggestions of any illegal activity by the former president. former president trump again a few mentions and no suggestion that he was involved in any wrongdoing. apart from the famous people, others are mentioned as well and it's notable that the judge when she authorised the release of these documents said that many of those people had not objected and it's almost as if there is for some people a clearing of the air that they might have crossed paths withjeffrey epstein in some point in the past but they are not implicated in their crimes. that's what we are seeing in these documents. this isn't the end of the story, there are still more of these documents to be released in the coming days. a man has been arrested after shots were fired at three separate locations in liverpool, including a shop and a cinema. merseyside police declared a major

experience and a lot of stage experience myself. i'm in the top 32 now, so potentially being there for next year. so it's another busy year ahead. the big build up, the long walk. the teen sensation had [it up the palace. but luke humphries is 12 years his senior and he made every year of experience count to take the first set comfortably. littler needed to settle. he has big dreams. he nails big finishes. but they don't call humphries cool hand luke for nothing. how about this, luke humphries. this match was ebbing and flowing, but on the smallest of margins, tides can turn. was this the moment? littler was up, but onlyjust. and when missed doubles crept in, humphries hauled it back in spectacularfashion, winning four sets on the spin to set up the end. littler had been on a roller coaster and taken us all along for the ride.

but you know what they say, good things must come to an end. i'm going to be very, very busy over the next 12 months. i know that. but i've got to make sure that i don't work too hard and not allow myself to enjoy the moment, because, you know, i've just achieved something that is a dream for a dart player. so, you know, i'm really, really pleased and over the moon. so the teenage dream is over, for now. we haven't seen the last of luke the nuke. natalie pirks, bbc news, alexandra palace. that promised on paper to be a brilliant battle because a luke humphries in the semifinals beat his opponent 6—0, luke littler was absolutely brilliant and that was a thriller, so you knew it was going to be a great match. regardless of who you are supporting, that is what you want from a final and that is what they both delivered. yes. you want from a final and that is what they both delivered. yes, and the notion. — what they both delivered. yes, and the notion. he _ what they both delivered. yes, and the notion, he is— what they both delivered. yes, and the notion, he is not _ what they both delivered. yes, and the notion, he is not a _ what they both delivered. yes, and the notion, he is not a veteran, - the notion, he is not a veteran, that humphreys being number one in

a huge response, including from breakfast viewers. ben has more on this. a lot of people saying on seeing the drama, they knew about the story but they didn't know fully the impact on how it came about.— how it came about. yes, there has really come _ how it came about. yes, there has really come across _ how it came about. yes, there has really come across in _ how it came about. yes, there has really come across in the - how it came about. yes, there hasj really come across in the response we have seen to the drama and the explanation we gave to the background to it all. it has been described as one of the biggest miscarriages ofjustice in british history. and the injustices involved are still yet to be righted. yes, plenty of you getting in touch, some asking why there have been no new criminal prosecutions against those responsible. let me just remind you, this scandal began way back in 1999 with the introduction of the horizon computer system. yes, plenty of you getting in touch, some asking why there have been no new criminal prosecutions against those responsible. lots of you saying you love the drama. plenty also saying its made their "blood boil" that it took

so long before any action was taken. this scandal began way back in 1999 with the introduction of the horizon computer system. faults in the software, producing large accounting shortfalls, then led to the wrongful prosecution of more than 700 post office employees, some serving prison sentences and many financially ruined by the experience. it was only following a long class action legal campaign that they were found to have been wrongfully convicted in 2019. last night's episode of the tv drama concentrated on the process to clear the names of those wrongfully prosecuted. here is a clip featuring a cameo by former chancellor nadim zahawi on a select committee as the scandal was first unfolding. it sounds to me like a shambles. we are hearing from bob that your organisation has been obstructive to his independent work, is that right or wrong? we have provided for every single case detailed, thorough, independent... let me stop you there. we just heard from bob, who is independent, that you have not. you are the head of the organisation. will you provide the information, yes or no? this is the first time that i have

been asked for this information. yes or no? i am not aware... will you provide it, yes or no? give me a simple answer. the public inquiry resumes its work next week and there are still many issues to be resolved around compensation for those wrongfully convicted. and so far only 93 convictions have actually been overturned with calls for many more outstanding ones to be quashed. another key person featured in the drama is paula vennells. she was the chief executive of the post office between 2012 and 2019 during which prosecutions of workers were still being carried out despite evidence already existing that there were faults in the system. the mp who chairs the parliamentary group on post offices says those involved in the scandal have not been held fully accountable. i think those people who got honours because of the work that they did in post office limited who are connected to hiding things, prosecuting innocent people,

i think their honours should be taken back. and i'm referring specifically here to paula vennells and her team, and those investigators who have already shown that at the inquiry how little they considered the effect of what they were doing. the public inquiry is not due to conclude and report its final findings until early next year. the post office says it fully shares the aims of the inquiry, to establish what went wrong in the past and the accountability for it. let's speak now to alan bates, the former sub—postmaster who has led the campaign forjustice. it's his story that is at the centre of the drama. very good to have you with us. firstly, what do you make of the drama and the impact is having this

case? ~ ., ., ., , drama and the impact is having this case? ~ ., ., .. , case? well, the drama has been excellent for _ case? well, the drama has been excellent for exposing _ case? well, the drama has been excellent for exposing really - case? well, the drama has been. excellent for exposing really what went on to a very wide audience. i don't know how you can compress 20 years campaigning into a few hours of film, but what i think, where the drama really succeeds is to give examples of the suffering that some of these people, a lot of these people actually went through. and i think you see about half a dozen cases in the drama, that there are hundreds and hundreds of stories very similar right across the board. that is one side of it, one part of it, the suffering and injustice that was done. the thing that has resonated with so many people watching at home this morning and yesterday, its then saying to us, who was responsible, and why have they not been held to account? what is your view on that side of it, the accountability? the

is your view on that side of it, the accountability?— is your view on that side of it, the accountability? the accountability i think is et accountability? the accountability i think is yet to _ accountability? the accountability i think is yet to be _ accountability? the accountability i think is yet to be addressed - accountability? the accountability i think is yet to be addressed in - accountability? the accountability i think is yet to be addressed in all. think is yet to be addressed in all of this. the inquiry is delving into the real detail of it and who knew what and when. people involved in this are probably aware of who these people are but they have to be held to account. they really do. i believe a kc has been appointed to see what can be done in these circumstances.— see what can be done in these circumstances. ., ., , ., circumstances. you were offered an honour for— circumstances. you were offered an honour for your _ circumstances. you were offered an honour for your services _ circumstances. you were offered an honour for your services to - circumstances. you were offered an honour for your services to justice i honour for your services to justice which he refused on the basis that someone else has an honour that you don't think should have an owner. well if i would have accepted it, if i did accept it, it would be on behalf of the whole group but to accept it will be a slap in the face while paula vennells hangs onto her

cbe to services for post office. if it had been for this service i would have understood it but she has remained a major institution all by herself under her stewardship. has she said anything to you about her honour and the fact she has still got it? honour and the fact she has still ot it? ., ., ., �* honour and the fact she has still not it? ., ., ., �* , honour and the fact she has still ot it? ., ., ., �* , ., got it? no, no. i haven't spoken to her since i — got it? no, no. i haven't spoken to her since i suppose _ got it? no, no. i haven't spoken to her since i suppose the _ got it? no, no. i haven't spoken to her since i suppose the time - got it? no, no. i haven't spoken to her since i suppose the time of- got it? no, no. i haven't spoken to her since i suppose the time of the initial mediation scheme back in 2012, 15. if you look at the terms of how these owners are handed out and retained by individuals, you will see she is failing very, very badly in adhering to the terms. brute badly in adhering to the terms. we would like to offer people a right of reply but i know that paula vennells lawyers said after the hike court ruling that she is participating in the inquiry and she had not provided evidence yet and it would be inappropriate for her to comment, if she did change her mind

we would be delighted to hear from her. another issue that has come to the fore is the former postal services minister ed davey, between 2010 and 2012, explain the struggle that you had to get a meeting with him. ~ ., , , him. well, all the ministers, ever since we started _ him. well, all the ministers, ever since we started campaigning - him. well, all the ministers, ever| since we started campaigning back him. well, all the ministers, ever. since we started campaigning back in 2009 as a group, we tried to meet with each of them and ed davey was one of the early ones in there. i wanted to get in and try to explain, we put everything in documentation for them but he just said we put everything in documentation for them but hejust said he had other things on, he had been assured by the post office that everything is all right and he didn't see the need for a meeting.— is all right and he didn't see the need for a meeting. october 2010, i understand admitting _ need for a meeting. october 2010, i understand admitting to _ need for a meeting. october 2010, i understand admitting to take - need for a meeting. october 2010, i | understand admitting to take place? it may well have done, you have to bear with me, it may well have done, you have to bearwith me, i had an it may well have done, you have to bear with me, i had an awful lot of ministers meetings and i would have to check on the detail of that. mr

daveyis to check on the detail of that. mr davey is now leader of the liberal democrats and he says he regrets not doing more, he says that post office officials misled him and other ministers. what would you say to him? j ministers. what would you say to him? ., . ., , ministers. what would you say to him? ., , , ,., him? i actually believe there is an element of _ him? i actually believe there is an element of truth _ him? i actually believe there is an element of truth and _ him? i actually believe there is an element of truth and not - him? i actually believe there is an element of truth and notjust - him? i actually believe there is an element of truth and notjust in i him? i actually believe there is an | element of truth and notjust in ed davey but a lot of ministers. i can see the civil service and those responsible for post office briefing their ministers in such a way, giving them assurances, it's something i have noticed in all the time i spent in westminster. he says he recrets time i spent in westminster. he says he regrets not _ time i spent in westminster. he says he regrets not doing _ time i spent in westminster. he says he regrets not doing more, _ time i spent in westminster. he says he regrets not doing more, what - time i spent in westminster. he says he regrets not doing more, what do i he regrets not doing more, what do you think you could have done differently? i you think you could have done differently?— you think you could have done differentl ? ., �* ,, .., differently? i don't think he could have done a _ differently? i don't think he could have done a great _ differently? i don't think he could have done a great deal— differently? i don't think he could have done a great deal more - differently? i don't think he could l have done a great deal more other than instigate some sort of investigation at that time, an external one. and that's something i have always tried to press with ministers, not to take the word of post office about things. and to look at independent investigations

into the horizon system. but obviously they have already refused over the years. it's wasn't until we got our own independent expert into the system during the court trial that we managed to expose the depth of failures within the system. this has hunu of failures within the system. this has hung over— of failures within the system. this has hung over you _ of failures within the system. this has hung over you like a cloud for more than 20 years now. what would you see as a satisfactory outcome, when do you feel that this case will be finally behind you, what are the unresolved issues for you? the riori unresolved issues for you? the priority at _ unresolved issues for you? the priority at the _ unresolved issues for you? tie: priority at the moment, there are a lot of issues, but the priority at the moment is to get the money that people are actually due and ode, i know the government like to try and spin it and call it compensation but this is the financial redress they are owed, get it out to them as soon as possible. even in the current scheme people have been waiting over 20 months for payments. they have

had a few interim payments but they have not had the full and final redress and they cannot get on with their lives, what is left of them, because we have lost 60 or 70 along the way. because we have lost 60 or 70 along the wa . . . because we have lost 60 or 70 along the wa . ., , ,., the way. that is the unresolved issues in terms _ the way. that is the unresolved issues in terms of _ the way. that is the unresolved issues in terms of the - the way. that is the unresolved issues in terms of the victims l the way. that is the unresolved | issues in terms of the victims of all of this. what do you think should happen to those who are responsible?— should happen to those who are responsible? they have got to be held to account. _ responsible? they have got to be held to account. and _ responsible? they have got to be held to account. and if— responsible? they have got to be i held to account. and if government and the organisations don't do it, then we as a group will be looking to do it ourselves. filth. then we as a group will be looking to do it ourselves.— then we as a group will be looking to do it ourselves. ok. alan, thank ou ve to do it ourselves. ok. alan, thank you very much _ to do it ourselves. ok. alan, thank you very much for _ to do it ourselves. ok. alan, thank you very much for taking _ to do it ourselves. ok. alan, thank you very much for taking the - to do it ourselves. ok. alan, thank you very much for taking the time | to do it ourselves. ok. alan, thank. you very much for taking the time to speak to us this morning. alan bates, former sub—postmaster who led that campaign to expose the flaws in that campaign to expose the flaws in that system. the final part of the drama airs tonight. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with gethin and rav.

store after residents responded in a survey to say the supermarket would be "something they'd really miss". let's take a look at the tubes now. there's minor delays on the central line and the metropolitan and overground are both part suspended and there's minor delays on the piccidilly line. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. after clear skies last night, it's quite a chilly start this morning. a bright start with a little bit of sunshine, but gradually that cloud is going to increase. this system coming up from the southwest is also going to bring some heavy rain and some stronger winds. now the met office has a yellow weather warning in place. it's valid for midday for heavy rain, but like i said, it should be a dry start. some bright spells, that cloud increases, though.

the rain, we could be seeing 20 to 30 millimetres of rain if not more locally. temperatures today still relatively mild at ten celsius, but a degree or two cooler than yesterday. now, as we head overnight, that system will start to clear away however it spirals around. so, more rain. that warning in place until 3:00 tomorrow morning, but gradually it should start to shift away eastward. still left with a legacy of cloud. a chilly night too where it starts to clear with a minimum there of three celsius for tomorrow. so that legacy of cloud, any spots of rain clearing a drier afternoon and temperatures feeling cooler. check out the bbc news app for all the latest including more on the upcoming tube strike that's due to start this weekend and what it could mean for services. i'll be back in half an hour, but for now let's go back to naga and charlie. check out the bbc news app for all the latest including more he beat the 16—year—old wonderkid luke littler, who didn't quite get his fairytale ending — but he did announce himself as a household name with a very bright future, and an extra £200,000 in his pocket.

whistling. just so they know someone friendly is coming out. breakfast time at slimbridge. and somewhere amongst the squabbling geese, an increasingly rare type of swan. the bewick swans are really unique because they are literally recognisable by their faces. a bit like us. smaller than mute swans, the yellow and black beak pattern of each bewicks distinct, enabling researchers to recognize them year after year. george ii. the swans arrive from the russian arctic each autumn and are counted every day. names are given to individuals. they definitely have distinct personalities. and there are swan family dynasties. the most famous is the gambling dynasty. the matriarch of that family from the 1960s was a bird called casino. we've also had the tea party as well. teapot and teabag. winkie. he's 27 years old. winker will come along as well. and they've had cygnets in the past.

sirindi, who is at slimbridge at the moment, he's one of the divorcees. the cheese dynasty was quite a big one. roquefort, cheddar, stilton. i think that's maisie. that's maisie coming in on the right hand side. so she's number two. number two family on the pond and making that point known there, by pushing that other family away. probably best to think of them as mafias rather than families. this year, 91 bewicks swans have been seen at slimbridge. in the 19705, there was sometimes more than 600. the bewicks swan, sadly, its numbers are plummeting very, very quickly and have been for quite some time. sojust to give you an idea, in the mid—1990s we were looking at around 29,000 birds in the population in europe, and now we think there's fewer than 18,000. so there's a huge decline in their numbers. so, welcome to the scott house museum. this is where the bill pattern study

first started in 1963. this winter is the 60th anniversary of the bewicks swan survey. it was started by conservationist sir peter scott, who sat at this window meticulously painting the beaks of every swan. here is one of the bewicks swan books that peter worked on, and you can see here these beautiful drawings that he did of each individual bill pattern. and you can see that there are three perspectives that he painted for each swan. and that's the left and the right side, but also the front. this is one of the world's longest running animal research projects. and the advantage of having so much data year after year is the information it provides, not just about how they live and how they migrate, but how these beautiful swans are adapting to our

warming changing climate. the decline of the bewicks is being blamed in part on their wetland habitat being destroyed. climate change is also altering their migration routes. longer summers in the russian arctic and warmer european autumns mean the swans don't have to come as far as slimbridge to find winter feeding grounds. bewicks swans are essentially barometers for what's happening to other birds and other species in the natural world. so when we see the bewicks swans declining, we know that there's probably trouble in other bird populations as well. it'sjust one lake and a single species. but chronicled over 60 years, the bewicks' fate is a telling snapshot of our rapidly changing planet. jonah fisher, bbc news at slimbridge.
