tv   Breakfast  BBC News  January 8, 2024 6:00am-9:01am GMT

6:00 am
the names of hundreds of wrongly convicted sub—postmasters. a plea for more help from unpaid carers who've contacted this programme, as we ask — "who cares?" footballers marcus stewart and stephen darby talk exclusively to breakfast about their march of the day, and life with mnd. do you feel like you are a hindrance? but you shouldn't should you? laughter is that bargain flight really such a good deal? we are having a look at the hidden holiday costs that add up unexpectedly at you book and how you can avoid them —— as you book. in sport, liverpool leave it late but it's all smiles at the end as they ride their luck to beat arsenal 2—0, and reach the fourth
6:01 am
round of the fa cup. it is thankfully a much drier week of weather ahead but it is colder, so we have some frost and fog and for some of us, some wintry showers. i will have all the details throughout the programme. it's monday the 8th of january. our main story. thejustice secretary, alex chalk, will meet with the minister responsible for the post office today to discuss how hundreds of branch managers who were wrongly convicted in the horizon it scandal could be cleared. pressure is increasing on number 10 to take action over what has been described as the most widespread miscarriage ofjustice in british history. here's our business correspondent marc ashdown. hello, how can i help? 0h, hi, it'sjo hamilton- here from south warnborough. i'm trying to produce this week's cash account. - and what's the problem? jo hamilton's story was central to the recent itv drama — she was falsely accused of stealing £36,000 from the village post office she ran in hampshire.
6:02 am
in the meantime, you'll need to make good the loss. i haven't got that money! her conviction has now been quashed, but she's still angry that so many are still waiting forjustice. to know my conviction�*s quashed and to keep the promise to my parents — who didn't live to see it, sadly — that i would never give up until i overturned my conviction... and, yeah, it's amazing. it also opens doors to compensation, as well, which is life—changing. jo is among more than 700 post office managers convicted over a 16—year period from 1999 — faulty software in the horizon it system was to blame — but to overturn convictions, each and every person still has to appeal directly to the post office and prove their innocence. well, if you meet the victims and how traumatised and broken they are, you can understand why they don't want to go anywhere near a court. so therefore the government need to come up with a solution which expunges these convictions and restores these people's reputations.
6:03 am
one suggestion is to remove the post office from the appeals process, and possibly pass new legislation to exonerate all of the victims as one. rishi sunak said thejustice secretary, alex chalk, is currently weighing up what to do. the group themselves have not been compensated. they've had literally a tiny interim payment or tiny payment at the beginning given to them, and they're having to fight for the rest of it. so make claims, months later as they come back. they've extended the deadline now from 6th of august this year to into next year, and by then it'll be heading for year six. you know, how can it possibly take that long to pay 500 people? a public inquiry is ongoing — the post office said it supports it and is keen to establish what went wrong in the past, and the accountability for it.
6:04 am
a police investigation is also under way into whether crimes were committed by some of those prosecuting hundreds of innocent people in what's become known as britain's biggest miscarriage of justice. marc ashdown, bbc news. so what is a government going to do? what can the government do? 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. it seems this tv drama has focused political minds.— political minds. that's right. mps are backing _ political minds. that's right. mps are backing parliament _ political minds. that's right. mps are backing parliament for- political minds. that's right. mps are backing parliament for the i political minds. that's right. mps i are backing parliament for the first time in the new year today on this issue has rocketed to the top of the agenda since that tv drama was aired for the first episode on new year's day. the government is trying to get ahead of this. you have alex chalk, the justice secretary, ahead of this. you have alex chalk, thejustice secretary, meeting the minister responsible for postal services today and crucially they are meeting each other in the presence of government lawyers. because they want to look at
6:05 am
potential legal remedies to this situation. there are various different options being looked at. government hasn't spoken publicly about what they are but we think they include potentially looking at ways to remove the post office role in the appeals process because sub—postmasters have to appeal initially to the post office, the people who prosecuted them in the first place, and potentially if they don't think that will do enough, just passing an act of parliament that would quash all of the convictions of sub—postmasters where horizon was involved altogether. so thatis horizon was involved altogether. so that is the government end. there is also the parliament end. you have various senior mps including david davies, and kevanjones, a labour mp, who want to find a way to scrutinise a minister on this today. they in particular want to push the post office to be more generous in its approach to all of this. change its approach to all of this. change its approach. they are asking, why is the post office behaving like a private company who wants to protect
6:06 am
its shareholders when its shareholder here is the government, the taxpayer? and we know from various petitions and so on that millions of taxpayers have watched this drama and the thing that they seem to want is for the post office to pay out to as many victims as possible. there is also a string of historic questions. why has it taken so long for this piecemeal compensation to be arranged with many postmasters are still having not seen any of it? and historic questions for sir ed davey, who was the leader of the liberal democrats now, but back in the day was the minister responsible for the post office. he now says he regrets not doing enough, he believed he was lied to, in his works, by the post office. there are lots of questions there. underlining them all, one big question which i think we will hear a lot of this week. how on earth did this happen?— a lot of this week. how on earth did this happen? henry, for now, thank ou ve this happen? henry, for now, thank you very much _ this happen? henry, for now, thank you very much indeed. _ this happen? henry, for now, thank you very much indeed. throughout l this happen? henry, for now, thank i you very much indeed. throughout the programme will talk about this a lot. we will speak to sir bob neill,
6:07 am
an mp who chairs thejustice select committee, what are they doing about this? we will speak to two format post office managers who were victims of the scandal, get their verdict on it. there's loads more background on this case aren't panorama. the post office scandal is on bbc iplayer now. let's get more news and the bad weather last week continues to have an impact this morning. thank you. the environment agency has warned that more homes could still be hit by flooding, despite a cold snap beginning across the uk. more than 1,800 properties have been flooded across central and southern england. there are more than 180 flood warnings in these areas. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, says palestinians must not be pressured into leaving gaza, and must be allowed to return to their homes once conditions allow. mr blinken also condemned statements by some israeli ministers, who called for the resettlement
6:08 am
of palestinians elsewhere. 0ur correspondent yolande knell joins us now from jerusalem. yolande, mr blinken is due to arrive in tel aviv later having spent the weekend speaking to leaders across the region. how are these latest comments likely to have been received in israel?— comments likely to have been received in israel? well, mr blinken comes here — received in israel? well, mr blinken comes here with _ received in israel? well, mr blinken comes here with a _ received in israel? well, mr blinken comes here with a packed _ received in israel? well, mr blinken comes here with a packed agenda. i received in israel? well, mr blinken i comes here with a packed agenda. we know he is going to repeat the us call to lower the intensity of the fighting in gaza, which has been so devastating, and in response to that we had some strong israeli comments in the past day or so. the israeli prime minister speaking at a cabinet meeting saying the war would go on until there was total victory over hamas and we have had the israeli defence minister writing in the wall streetjournal, really blaming iran for the regional spill—overfor
6:09 am
ratcheting up tensions around the region because of the different armed groups that it backs. really this is going to be an important trait for mr blinken, his fourth back here since the start of the war. he has already said he comes here at the moment of profound tension, so he has tried to speak to other arab leaders about containing the regional spill—over of the war. when he comes here he said it is imperative about putting a premium on the lives of civilians in gaza, trying to reduce the relentless bombardment which has continued over the weekend. we have seen dozens killed in big israeli air strikes in the north of gaza and in the south, as well, and real concern about the deepening humanitarian situation. the americans would also like to talk about the future, what happens after the war in gaza, but it may be that he has such a full agenda that it doesn't really come to detailed discussions of that. qm.
6:10 am
it doesn't really come to detailed discussions of that.— discussions of that. 0k, yolande knell in jerusalem, _ discussions of that. 0k, yolande knell in jerusalem, thank - discussions of that. 0k, yolande knell in jerusalem, thank you. i the partner of the former conservative mp peter bone has been selected to replace him as the tory candidate in the wellingborough by—election. helen harrison is currently a conservative councillor in northamptonshire. the by—election was triggered following mr bone's suspension from the house of commons over bullying and sexual misconduct claims. he denies the allegations. transport for london has said there will still be some disruption to tube services this morning — despite the rmt union calling off a planned strike. passengers are being advised to check before they travel. london underground workers had been due to walk out until the end of the week in a dispute over a 5% pay offer. the union said "positive discussions" meant further talks would now take place. thousands of old green metal street cabinets once used to store broadband and phone cabling are set to be converted into electric vehicle charging points. bt group is setting up a pilot project which it's hoped will boost the number of charging stations
6:11 am
across the country. 0ppenheimer was the big winner at the golden globe awards, taking home five awards including the top prize. cillian murphy and robert downeer were both recognised for their acting performances, while christopher nolan won best director. 0ur la correspondent emma vardy reports clamouring. hi, barbie! with her signature pink adorning the red carpet, the "hi, barbie" influence was everywhere. but the night really belonged to 0ppenheimer. oppenheimer! it won five golden globes — including best picture, best director... ..and there was a mistimed kiss for 0ppenheimer star cillian murphy as he accepted best actor in a drama. my first question — do i have lipstick all over my nose? shouting. 0h. i'm just going to leave it. barbie won the new golden globes category box office achievement — celebrating films that were a big hit at the cinema.
6:12 am
thank you. we would like to dedicate this to every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on earth — the movie theatres. what was i made for? from barbie — music and lyrics by billie eilish o'connell and finneas o'connell. and billie eilish picked up the best original song. succession! in the tv categories, the big winners were beef, the bear, and succession. lily gladstone! there was an emotional speech by lily gladstone, winning for her role in killers of the flower moon — the first native american actress to win a golden globe. this is an historic win. it doesn't belong to just me. i'm holding it right now, i'm holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film at this table over here and my mother, tantoo cardinal. standing on all of your shoulders. this is the first major awards
6:13 am
since months of actors' and writers' strike saw productions halted and red—carpet events cancelled. so for many here, they're glad to get back to the business of promoting their films — not to mention enjoying a party. it's a who's who of hollywood. the golden globes lived up to its reputation as a rather boozy affair — before stars even got in there was a bar on the red carpet. with the rather more formal 0scars approaching in two months' time, critics will be looking to see if 0ppenheimer will be toasting the same success. emma vardy, bbc news, beverly hills. that is one big red carpet. isn't it “ust?! the next story sounds like something from a fairy tale — or the film ratatouille. do you remember that? yeah. because when retired postman rodney holbrook noticed the workbench in his garden shed kept being mysteriously tidied, he decided to do a bit of detective work. and here's what he found when he set
6:14 am
up a night—vision camera. his secret helper was in fact a little mouse — picking up pegs, corks, nuts and bolts. he's since given his mystery friend a nickname — welsh tidy mouse. its like beatrix potter were something. it its like beatrix potter were something-— its like beatrix potter were something._ i | its like beatrix potter were - something._ i need something. it is so cute. i need that mouse _ something. it is so cute. i need that mouse in _ something. it is so cute. i need that mouse in my _ something. it is so cute. i need that mouse in my house. - something. it is so cute. i need that mouse in my house. look, j something. it is so cute. i need l that mouse in my house. look, it something. it is so cute. i need - that mouse in my house. look, it is -auttin all that mouse in my house. look, it is putting all the. .. _ that mouse in my house. look, it is putting all the... i _ that mouse in my house. look, it is putting all the. .. i was _ that mouse in my house. look, it is putting all the. .. i was reading - putting all the... i was reading about it and it was saying that because he hides acorns and food and stuff so it is this nesting instinct, places to hide food. 50 stuff so it is this nesting instinct, places to hide food. so if i want to borrow _ instinct, places to hide food. so if i want to borrow that _ instinct, places to hide food. so if i want to borrow that mouse i have to have little bits of peanut butter everywhere. i to have little bits of peanut butter everywhere-— to have little bits of peanut butter eve here. ~ ., ., , everywhere. i think that would help. it is time everywhere. i think that would help. it is time for — everywhere. i think that would help. it is time for the _ everywhere. i think that would help. it is time for the weather. _ everywhere. i think that would help. it is time for the weather. won't - everywhere. i think that would help. it is time for the weather. won't be | it is time for the weather. won't be quite as dramatic as last week? good morning. after all of that rain we had over the past few weeks, thankfully things are looking drier this week. still lots of flood
6:15 am
warnings in force, particularly across much of england, but most of the rain has cleared and it has turned much colder, so today we have some frost and fog out there, and for some, some wintry showers bringing icy stretches. here is our friend high pressure, squeezing away most of the rain. largely dry, breezy conditions in the south and we have some showers particularly in parts of kent and sussex, could be a couple of centimetres of snow over the north downs, perhaps even a slight dusting and some icy conditions at low levels. for northern ireland, some rain showers this morning, they are falling on subzero surfaces. some ice possible there. forthe subzero surfaces. some ice possible there. for the rest of us, quite a lot of dry weather, a few showers across the north—east of england and some lingering mist and fog patches, particularly for scotland and northern ireland. variable amounts of cloud but most should see some sunshine around although it is feeling cold with temperatures only about three to 6 degrees and cold it where you are exposed. sleet and
6:16 am
snow showers westwards through this evening and tonight, they will eventually fade but i think it will be a really cold night. like last night, mist and frosting us and some temperatures perhaps as low as —84 rural parts of scotland first thing. tomorrow, like today, chilly start, some icy stretches around with mist and fog patches which will slowly clear. plenty of sunshine but more tomorrow than we will see today. again, it will feel cold, so only about three to 6 degrees tomorrow. it feels like the temperatures might lift a bit into the middle part of the week, at least for a time, but the week, at least for a time, but the good news where we have the flooding situation is that things are looking much drier through the week ahead. are looking much drier through the week ahead-— week ahead. drier but chillier. thank you _ week ahead. drier but chillier. thank you very _ week ahead. drier but chillier. thank you very much - week ahead. drier but chillier. thank you very much indeed. l week ahead. drier but chillier. i thank you very much indeed. we week ahead. drier but chillier. - thank you very much indeed. we will speak later. rugby fans have watched the incredible efforts of doddie weir, rob burrow and kevin sinfield to raise awareness of motor neurone disease. now stephen darby and marcus stewart — two former footballers living with the incurable condition — are hoping the football
6:17 am
community can do the same. they've spoken to bbc breakfast together for the first time about life with mnd — and about a 175—mile walking challenge between 17 football stadiums to help raise awareness. graham satchell reports. two former footballers, stephen darby and marcus stewart, at anfield in liverpool. adversity has brought them together. they're both living with motor neurone disease — a life—limiting degenerative disorder with no treatment and no cure.
6:18 am
no. cos i called you. well, no, i emailed you, didn't i? so the first thing i wanted to do was get in contact with someone with mnd. because you were a footballer, as well. i just felt it was the right thing to do — to contact someone who played football. and i knew your name, of course. stephen darby started his career at liverpool, and then was captain of bradford. marcus stewart was a prolific striker for ipswich, sunderland, and other clubs. last time i was here, i've got a winner, i think. laughter. so how are you doing? yeah.
6:19 am
but psychologically — which is important — you've still got that, mate. do you think that comes from your football background — that mental determination? yeah, ido. you know, i think that football background, that being in an elite sport, i think it... although you don't know at the time, it kind of prepares you for what's happening now — a little bit, psychologically. i think we live... i think we're used to living in the moment as a player — day by day, week by week. you can't look four months ahead, you can't look a year ahead because you don't know what's going to go on. so i think, for me, it's... i can relate to it because that's how it is now. i live in the moment and i live week to week and don't look about next year, don't look about next month — just every day. i can't grip anything
6:20 am
with this hand now. you know, when you go to pick your phone up, the car seat. yeah. i could do that a year and a half ago. now, i've got to reach over and pick it with my right hand. yeah. but now this hand's starting to go a little bit. i can't... i've still got the strength in it, but cramps and that fingerjust stays like that all the time, so it's always like that. and the higher i go, the more it bends over. stephen and marcus take a closer look at the pitch. and with their families, there are memories of the glory days. jamie clapham played it to me. i think markus babbel dived in, and i had to take it at that moment with my right foot. i'm left—footed. i rememberjimmyjilton — do you rememberjimmyjilton?
6:21 am
he was brought up as a liverpool player, as well. and he was just...happier than i was. from playing in front of thousands at anfield, both stephen and marcus are now becoming dependent on others for their everyday needs. do you feel... ..like you're a hindrance? but you shouldn't do, should you? you still want to do things on your own, don't you, as well? that's the thing. you know, istill try and do my own lace up now and again. i'll be there all day because ijust can't do it. but i'll try. yeah, yeah. stephen is hoping to get football players past and present to take part in the walk. both men have been touched by the support they've had from former team—mates.
6:22 am
there's the main man. good player, isn't he? his friends got mnd, hasn't he?
6:23 am
we will of course be following their journey, their march of the day, as they are calling it. let's take a look at today's papers. the times is reporting that poor mental health is driving a "surge in disability claims", and predicts that the cost of disability benefits will rise by more than 50% by 2030. the guardian says channel 4 is drawing up plans to cut as many as 200 jobs, in the biggest round of redundancies in more than 15 years. the paper writes that the restructure is indented to focus on accelerating its digital streaming strategy. intended to focus on accelerating its digital streaming strategy.

6:27 am
strikes by london underground workers for most of the week, have been called off, but passengers are being warned they may still face disruption. members of the rmt union were due to walk out until friday in a dispute over a 5% pay offer. but the action has now been suspended after progress in talks. 0ur transport correspondent tom edwards has the details. the mayor basically found extra money. i've been told, sources have told me that it's in the region of £30 million so tfl's full and final offer to the unions of 5%, presumably, that is going to increase. a word of warning though if you are heading out, it's worth checking because there is likely to be some disruption this morning still on the tube because this was called off at such a late stage. more than a dozen flood warnings remain in place in parts of berkshire, surrey and buckinghamshire. the environment agency is warning homes could be at risk even though the rain has stopped. they're also urging people to stay away from swollen rivers.
6:28 am
on friday hackney wick saw flash flooding when the river lea canal burst its banks. chances are you've heard of hulk hogan or the rock, but how many top female wrestlers are on your radar? 0ne london group is trying to change that. eve: riot girls of wrestling was set up to tackle sexism in the sport and change perceptions. events featuring women were banned here up until the 80s. while things have moved on, performers say they're still battling to be taken seriously. when we first started we had to ask people to leave quite a lot. people would be chanting and yelling sexual things at the women. none of that is what we were here for. even though women's wrestling is a lot more respected now, it's still going to make up the minority of most shows. whereas with eve, it's somewhere that we can all work regularly and notjust be the women's match of the show, but everyone has come to watch women. let's take a look at the tubes now — severe delays on the bakerloo line and the 0verground, and there are minor delays
6:29 am
on the central and piccadilly lines. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. it's a chilly start to the day and we start the day with a warning in place for the risk of ice. the met office yellow weather morning valid until 10am this morning for more southern parts of the region. as we will continue to see further showers being brought in on that brisk north—easterly wind and these showers may be wintry in nature, over the hills and even down to lower levels at times. there will be some drier weather in between, though, and temperatures only reaching two to five celsius so a chilly day and a chilly night in store as well with more in the way of cloud for many, some clearer spells by the early hours and temperatures again dipping to freezing or below. and again the risk of some icy stretches on untreated roads and surfaces. but we stay with high—pressure for the next few days and with that brisk east north—easterly wind, but it will become drier for tuesday and for wednesday with more in the way of sunshine during the day. but it will be cold and it will still be quite breezy. and that will make it feel even colder. by the end of the week, though,
6:30 am
temperatures up a few degrees, around seven or eight celsius. that's your forecast for now. that's it from me for now. i'll be back with your next news, travel and weather updates in half an hour. but now it's back tojon and sarah. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. over the last week, breakfast has been looking at the state of the care system across the uk. we've been overwhelmed with the response, with many of you getting in touch to share your own experiences. we have had tonnes of we have had tonnes of texts we have had tonnes of texts and we have had tonnes of texts and e—mails. 0ur reporterjayne mccubbin joins us live from blackpool carers centre now, which provides advice, support and respite for unpaid carers as well as young adult carers. morning. good morning, everybody. let me say good morning to the
6:31 am
fabulous team down at blackpool carers centre. let me do the introductions. alison, emma, julie and carla, they make it all happened down here. we are going to talk to you in a minute. but come with me because as sarah said, there is the reason we are down here this morning, we started a conversation last week asking a question, who cares for the carers in 202a? and so many of you got back in touch that we knew we had to keep this conversation going. because places like this are so necessary but few and far between. before we hear more about it, i wanted to have a look at this film which touches on some of theissues this film which touches on some of the issues that we raised last week, touches on some of the comments that we had people, so many of them, keep them coming. it also touches on how vital and life changing it can be when carers are cared for. last week, breakfast
6:32 am
asked a question. who cares? this has been the hardest thing that i have ever, ever done. there are days that i get up and i think, "i don't know if i'm going to have the time or the energy to be able to do this one more day." do you think unpaid carers are often overlooked and forgotten? oh, gosh, yes. from the army of unpaid carers, the young carers, the foster carers, we heard the same message time and time again. carers don't always feel cared for. we asked for help and they cut it off. scared. scared, yeah, i know you're scared. i'm all right, yeah. i'm david, nice to meet you. nice to meet you. and bear with me.
6:33 am
so many of you contacted breakfast with your own story. and this is toby. my name is catherine taylor, i am a mum and a carer. my name is neil and i'm in leeds. so when you heard that question on bbc breakfast, "who cares", who do you feel cares for you? nobody. nobody, really. barbara is a full time carer for her husband, david, who has multiple sclerosis. what needs to change, would you say, babs? do you know what needs to change? they say, "oh, let's, let's, let's give them a coffee morning. a carer's coffee morning." well, what i would actually need and prefer is help. but cathy contacted us to say that fighting for help for her autistic
6:34 am
son noah can be all—consuming. he can become anxious to the point where he might run out of the house, he might say that he doesn't want his life any more. as a carer, i struggle to get the support, and fighting that system, i would say is one of the hardest things. how much time does that fight take up? it takes up such a significant amount of time that it compromises my ability to care for my son _ how are we doing? if you give the bowl a shake. carers told us they need much more help, more support and that is the aim of places like blackpool carers centre. you'll be able to say that you've made some biscuits and someone from the bbc camera crew has eaten some. i'm definitely happy to help with that. tell me about your mum, cherry. well, her name's sarah and she has ataxia of the cerebellum, but it's basically like ms.
6:35 am
so walking's a big struggle and... there's a lot of stuff she can't do. yeah. which you then have to do. yeah. can i give you a hand, breaking all the rules right here? what difference does it make coming here? a huge difference. my worker right now, cassie, is amazing. she takes off a very big weight and i canjust have a minute to be me. have a laugh, we can, you know, i can vent, i can... off—load. yeah. she's sat there spying and listening in right now. cassie is amazing. are you crying? no! and that's something with young carers is that a lot of them just accept life as it is and they don't get a lot of support. should we present yours to the cameraman? yeah. go on, then. he's salivating!
6:36 am
but you help lift that weight off. this is multitasking. yeah, they're caring for whoever at home. cameraman food! and then you can be that little bit of a release for them. and it's nice to hear that, actually, you're making a difference, you're making an impact in their lives. carers need to be cared for. yeah, yeah, definitely. carers need to be cared for and look at the difference it made to cherry with the support of cassandra. good morning if you are waking up, thank you for your input into the report today. really appreciate it. you can see the difference it makes. let's chat to alison brown who is the big boss lady down here. good morning. i'm 'ust

6:38 am
and it's their friends to cheer them up. they develop lasting friendships which i know, like cherry has done, that friendship then continues as they get older. bud that friendship then continues as they get older-— they get older. and respite is so important. _ they get older. and respite is so important, doing _ they get older. and respite is so important, doing something i they get older. and respite is so important, doing something fun| they get older. and respite is so i important, doing something fun is so important, doing something fun is so important because cherry told us about how she lost a sense of self because so much of her thought process is taken up by thinking about, i can't do that because i need to think about mum. find about, i can't do that because i need to think about mum. and it does, need to think about mum. and it does. respite. — need to think about mum. and it does, respite, where _ need to think about mum. and it does, respite, where we - need to think about mum. and it does, respite, where we come . need to think about mum. and it i does, respite, where we come from with our respite commits to reduce that isolation, so many carers across the week feel isolated. so it reduces that gives them sense of well—being, some self esteem, confidence, develop that resilience that they all need to go out and go on. �* , ., . ., on. but there is not much out there. there isn't. — on. but there is not much out there. there isn't, and _ on. but there is not much out there. there isn't, and part _ on. but there is not much out there. there isn't, and part of _ on. but there is not much out there. there isn't, and part of being i on. but there is not much out there. there isn't, and part of being here i there isn't, and part of being here at the centre and the things we do is allowing the carers to have a voice. we hear that voice, and we

6:41 am
they left it late and arsenal who have won the fa cup more than any other team have been knocked out. they will be wondering whether goals are coming from because they are not managing to find them the moment. good morning. not that it will feel that way for mikel arteta and arsenal, the record winners out of the fa cup, beaten 2—0 by liverpool. a team who took their chances, as arsenal failed to take theirs. as andy swiss reports. top of the league and on course in the cup. liverpool's elation was matched only by arsenal's frustration. playing in white, the gunners should have been in front. martin 0degaard thumped the bar as either side of the break they created chance after chance. but could they actually convert one? how many more chances are arsenal going to pass up? well, their manager's reaction said it all. and with ten minutes left, they paid the price. liverpool, fired away. arsenal at last finding the net but unfortunately their own
6:42 am
via jakub kiwior�*s header and deep into stoppage time their misery was complete. and it's luis diaz and he's sealed it. they'd been second best for much of the game, but liverpool had done it. i'm just super proud, it's a super difficult draw. maybe most difficult we could have got. they really wanted it and so we got it. forarsenal, meanwhile, a third defeat in a row. testing times for them. triumphant ones for their opponents. andy swiss, bbc news. no problems for the defending champions manchester city boosted by the return of kevin de bruyne. they thrashed championship strugglers huddersfield 5—0 at the etihad. phil foden scored twice and de bruyne, who's been out for five months, set up jeremy doku to round off the win with his first goal since early november.

6:44 am
league leaders chelsea. star striker sam kerr is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the club's warm weather training camp in morocco. kerr has scored four goals in the league this season and five in the champions league. you can see what a big loss she is going to be. a bad injury for her. in rugby union's premiership, gloucester�*s miserable season continues. tom de glanville setting off here to run in two of bath's three tries, condemning them to a record breaking ninth cosecutive league defeat, 17 — 10 they lost. the win moves bath up to third, just three points behind leaders northampton. seven time champion ronnie 0'sullivan is back in action at snooker�*s masters today. he faces ding junhui this afternoon. meanwhile, there's already been a huge shock at the 50th edition of the tournament as world champion luca brecel was beaten by england's jack lisowski at alexandra palace.

lisowski winning six frames to two to reach the quarter finals. and lisowski will face shaun murphy next after he beat zhang anda in the evening session last night. murphy, who won the tournament in 2015, won six frames to two to reach the final eight. and loved this yesterday. talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. try and keep your eyes peeled on the pink hat ofjockeyjoe anderson, the sixth hurdle at plumpton yesterday, was left hanging on his horse transmission, but stayed on. if that wasn't enough, he then went on to win the sussex stayers handicap hurdle at plumpton. you can just see you canjust see him slipping over, almost coming off the front of the horse. but manage to stay on and then went and won the whole thing. when your luck is in your luck is in a. ., ., , " ., when your luck is in your luck is in

6:50 am
well, january is one of the busiest months for holiday bookings. it's hardly surprising — the festive celebrations are over, the weather's miserable — and you start planning a getaway to look forward to. but it's easy to forget about hidden costs. and there are two main ways that companies can surprise you with unexpected fees and charges. so—called drip pricing is most commonly used by airlines and train companies. you might spot a cheap flight that looks like a bargain, but then the airline has hidden extra costs for things like luggage fees, faster boarding, and even picking your own seats. you tend to only find out about all these things towards the end of the booking process. then there's micro—charging. extra fees for add—on services that used to be free, like printing off your boarding pass at an airport. and it's notjust limited to travel. these add—on fees appear for all sorts of things from theatre and concert tickets to insurance policies and hotels. adding up to an eye—watering £1.6 billion a year
6:51 am
for those booking online. and of that, over £740 million of those extra fees were for flights or holidays. last september the government launched a consultation, proposing to crack down on what it calls "snea ky" fees and charges, to make online shopping more transparent. there should be a update in a few weeks. but a couple of things to remember in the meantime. always triple check your booking before you click the buy button. mistakes can be costly, including correcting your name or passport details if you've entered them wrongly. in fact, changing any aspect of a booking is expensive. and don't assume the cheapest option is the best. always look at what the add—on charges are for luggage and seats before starting the final booking process.

6:57 am
0ur transport correspondent tom edwards has the details. the mayor basically found extra money. i've been told, sources have told me that it's in the region of £30 million so tfl's full and final offer to the unions of 5%, presumably, that is going to increase. a word of warning though if you are heading out, it's worth checking because there is likely to be some disruption this morning still on the tube because this was called off at such a late stage. i will have to travel news for you in just a moment. more than a dozen flood warnings remain in place in parts of berkshire, surrey and buckinghamshire. the environment agency is warning homes could be at risk even though the rain has stopped. they're also urging people to stay away from swollen rivers. on friday hackney wick saw flash flooding when the river lea canal burst its banks. chances are you've heard of hulk hogan or the rock, but how many top female wrestlers are on your radar? 0ne london group is trying to change that. eve: riot girls of wrestling was set up to tackle sexism in the sport

in the meantime, you'll need to make good the loss. i haven't got that money! her conviction has now been quashed, but she's still angry that so many are still waiting forjustice. to know my conviction's quashed and to keep the promise to my parents — who didn't live to see it, sadly — that i would never give up until i overturned my conviction... and, yeah, it's amazing. it also opens doors to compensation, as well, which is life—changing. jo is among more than 700 post office managers convicted over a 16—year period from 1999 — faulty software in the horizon it system was to blame — but to overturn convictions, each and every person still has to appeal directly to the post office and prove their innocence. well, if you meet the victims and how traumatised and broken they are, you can understand why they don't want to go anywhere near a court. so therefore the government need to come up with a solution which expunges these convictions and restores these
7:03 am
people's reputations. one suggestion is to remove the post office from the appeals process, and possibly pass new legislation to exonerate all of the victims as one. rishi sunak said thejustice secretary, alex chalk, is currently weighing up what to do. the group themselves have not been compensated. they've had literally a tiny interim payment or tiny payment at the beginning given to them, and they're having to fight for the rest of it. so make claims, months later as they come back. they've extended the deadline now from 6th of august this year to into next year, and by then it'll be heading for year six. you know, how can it possibly take that long to pay 500 people? a public inquiry is ongoing — the post office said it supports it and is keen to establish what went wrong in the past, and the accountability for it.
7:04 am
a police investigation is also under way into whether crimes were committed by some of those prosecuting hundreds of innocent people in what's become known as britain's biggest miscarriage of justice. marc ashdown, bbc news. meanwhile, a petition calling for the former post office boss paula vennells to lose her cbe over the horizon scandal has attracted more than one million signatures. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, henry zeffmanjoins us now. it henry, henry zeffman joins us now. it seems to be gather stea m, henry, it seems to be gathering real steam, this, as mps returned to parliament. steam, this, as mps returned to parliament-— steam, this, as mps returned to parliament. ., �*, ., , , parliament. that's absolutely right. i think it is parliament. that's absolutely right. i think it is at _ parliament. that's absolutely right. | think it is at the _ parliament. that's absolutely right. i think it is at the top _ parliament. that's absolutely right. i think it is at the top of _ parliament. that's absolutely right. i think it is at the top of the - i think it is at the top of the parliamentary and government agenda this morning and it will be until the government moves in some way. alex chalk, thejustice secretary, will be meeting kevin hollinrake, a business minister, later today, and
7:05 am
they will be doing so with government lawyers present because they are looking at potential legal remedies to some of what the government now believes is an massive miscarriage ofjustice. two options being considered among many. both are different ends of the spectrum. 0ne both are different ends of the spectrum. one a bit less dramatic, to remove the post office role in the appeals process. at the moment, if you want to overturn your conviction you actually have to go through the post office, who pursued you in the first place. the other move, much more dramatic and constitutionally quite interesting, would be for the government to propose legislation to parliament to just quash all of the convictions altogether. so those are the questions going forward. also questions going forward. also questions looking back, questions about paula vennells and her cbe. also more general questions that mp one —— mps want answered about why the post office was so aggressive in the post office was so aggressive in the weight pursued these sub—postmaster questions perform at

severe delays on the bakerloo and overground. mine are on the elizabeth line and central line. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. it's a chilly start to the day and we start the day with a warning in place for the risk of ice. the met office yellow weather morning valid until 10am this morning for more southern parts of the region. as we will continue to see further showers being brought in on that brisk north—easterly wind and these showers may be wintry in nature, over the hills and even down to lower levels at times. there will be some drier weather in between, though, and temperatures only reaching two to five celsius so a chilly day and a chilly night in store as well with more in the way of cloud for many, some clearer spells by the early hours and temperatures again dipping to freezing or below. and again the risk of some icy stretches on untreated roads and surfaces. but we stay with high—pressure for the next few days and with that brisk east north—easterly wind, but it will become drier for tuesday and for wednesday with more in the way of sunshine during the day. but it will be cold and it will still be quite breezy. and that will make it feel even colder. by the end of the week, though,
7:33 am
temperatures up a few degrees, around seven or eight celsius. that's your forecast for now. i'll be back with your next news, travel and weather updates in half an hour. but now it's back tojon and sarah. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. the with sarah campbell and jon kay. busy programme had the busy programme today. we have had a rocket — the busy programme today. we have had a rocket launch _ the busy programme today. we have had a rocket launch already - the busy programme today. we have had a rocket launch already and - the busy programme today. we have had a rocket launch already and it - had a rocket launch already and it is only half past seven! time to cram in a bit of sport now, fa cup action withjohn. cram in a bit of sport now, fa cup action with john.— action with john. good morning everybody- _ action with john. good morning everybody- a — action with john. good morning everybody. a busy _ action with john. good morning everybody. a busy fa - action with john. good morning everybody. a busy fa cup - action with john. good morning - everybody. a busy fa cup weekend. for a team nicknamed the gunners, they are lacking a bit of firepower. their failure to score yesterday saw them lose to liverpool as they were knocked out of the fa cup. and their manager mikel arteta says they need an urgent reset. they were the better side for long
7:34 am
periods against liverpool, but couldn't score — at least in the right net. an own goal from jakub kiwior put liverpool ahead. and the away side sealed it late on. luis diaz with the finish to put liverpool into the fourth round. so a third staright defeat for arsenal in all competitions. just to illustrate, 48 shots in their last two home games, but they've failed to score. the performance for sure was there. as we said, the amount of chances, situations, and performance as we said to win the game, there's no question about that but actually we lost it. so we are not capitalising. and in football, in sport you have to capitalise to win the games and at the moment we aren't doing it. what can you do? i cannot tell them, listen, play worse than liverpool, be worse, and we are going to win the game. no, i have to help them more and give them confidence and when my team plays with an attitude, what can i do? just to stand behind them ioo%. it was an open game, and an open game you can always win. and scoring these wonderful goals, bringing the
7:35 am
kids on and they did incredibly well, individual performances, i thought today was outstanding. from a specific moment on, we really fought the whole 95 minutes, but from a specific moment on, we played football as well. and yeah, it's cool, now we have a winter break. that was the biggest bonus ever. not too many shocks in the third round but a contenderfor goal of the season from leeds' patrick bamford. perhaps arsenal need this guy. just have a look at this. an unbelievable volley in leeds united's 3—0 win over peterborugh. sometimes you think it helps players if they have less time to think about it. let's look at it again. brilliant control, lovely body, the goalkeeper stood no chance, brilliant goal from patrick bamford. it won't be lost on manchester united that no premier
7:36 am
league side has lost to lower league opposition in the third round yet. they face wigan athletic. the draw for the fourth round of the cup will take place tonight before the final match of the third round as manchester united travel the short distance to wigan athletic, who are 53 places below united, they�* re currently 18th in league one. their manager shaun maloney has been working overtime on ways to bridge that gap. when you have a level of opponent that is different league, orfar superior resources, it comes from the manager. there has to be a belief within the manager that we can win this game and that has to then transfer to the players. and i know it's going to be difficult. everyone will expect one result, expect manchester united to be very, very dominant, but i still have to get my players to believe that there is moments in this game where i know that they can show their talent and it's part of myjob to create those moments. absolutely, where there is a well, there is a way. so the fa cup third round a january sporting traditon and so too, in tennis, the australian open

which gets under way on sunday. mixed fortunes overnight for two british players preparing for the year's first grand slam. disappointment for katie boulter, beaten in straight sets by romania'a ana bogdan at the adelaide international. better news though forjack draper at the same tournament who looked impressive on the way to a 6—1 , 6—3 win over argentina's sebastian baez. interesting to hear comments from draper saying how much he's been inspired by andy murray. he's stilljust 2! and became the youngest brit since murray to reach an atp tour final last november. in rugby union's premiership, gloucester�*s miserable season continues. tom de glanville setting off here to run in two of bath's three tries, condemning them to a record breaking ninth cosecutive league defeat, i7—io they lost. the win moves bath up to third, just three points behind leaders northampton. not a great season from gloucester so far, new year, perhaps it will bring about new results but not so
7:38 am
for gloucester at the moment. that is about it from me from now, back to sarah and jon. 7:38am. last year you will remember that we followed emma webb, who set herself the extraordinary challenge of pulling a life—sized horse for 157 miles, all in memory of her teenage daughter brodie, who took her own life. emma walked from brodie's favourite showground in chepstow to the london international horse show london to raise awareness of mental health in young people. let's take a look back at her journey. it took more than two weeks, crossing hundreds of miles from wales to england. emma and her resin horse capturing the hearts of everyone she met. all in memory of emma's daughter, brodie, a rising star of the showjumping world who spent
7:39 am
every spare minute with her beloved horse, archie. she took her own life in 2020, aged just 16. the route saw emma and miles walk the 158 mile stretch from brodie's favourite showground in chepstow to the london international horse show. and prince william was among those who showed support. reaching london, emma navigated christmas shoppers along oxford street. by her side, those who'd also lost loved ones, sharing her passion to raise awareness about suicide prevention. we know how hard the grief hits you. you know, brodie was emma's only daughter, you know? but emma's lifted herself back up, and she's pulling this horse in memory of brodie because she believes other families do not have to go through this grief. her constant updates on social media meant she never walked alone.
7:40 am
by the time she reached the finish line a huge crowd waited for her. thanks to the kindness of strangers, many who she now calls friends, emma's challenge raised almost £60,000 for charity. it really was an incredible effort and emma is with us, with miles, come and join us. what an extraordinary effort that was, looking back at those pictures, what are your memories, what do you think? it are your memories, what do you think? ., , , ., are your memories, what do you think? .,, , ., ., , think? it was 'ust an absolute 'ourne , think? it wasjust an absolute journey, really. _ think? it wasjust an absolute journey, really. things - think? it wasjust an absolute journey, really. things went l think? it wasjust an absolute - journey, really. things went well, things didn't go well, yeah, it was just one of those lifetime experiences that i will never forget. experiences that i will never foruet. ~ ,

7:48 am
on the brisk wind. there will be some more in the south—east that they will be hit and miss. if you are stuck under the lingering mist and fog it will feel chilly out there. a few more wintry showers pushing across south wales and southern england tonight but elsewhere it is looking dry and cold again. frost and fog patches across parts of scotland and northern ireland, a chilly start of the day tomorrow but thankfully things are looking dry through tomorrow and for much of the week ahead. thank you very much indeed. new research commissioned by the bbc�*s panorama suggests police forces in england and wales need an extra 18,000 officers just to keep up with population growth. the home office says officer numbers are at a record high, but their own figures show that only one in 20 crimes in england and wales now results in a suspect being charged. it's led to some victims taking steps to investigate their own crimes, as bronagh munro reports.
7:49 am
when i got up at 7:00 in the morning, the tv was off the wall, on the floor, the drawers in my living room were open, and there were footprints through the kitchen. sarah goode's home in blackburn was burgled three months ago, while she was sleeping. her keys, laptop and cash were taken. i feel completely violated. er... she exhales. yeah. it's ok, sarah, it's ok. feeling a little bit emotional. voice breaks: i'm sorry. she weeps. you all right? yeah. it's ok. i feel like this all the time now, when i'm in here. do you? yeah. have you stayed here much since this happened? no. you're not coping with it, are you? no, not at all. not at all. the police came, but they didn't ask sarah's neighbours for their cctv, so she got some of the footage herself. sarah recognised a man acting suspiciously outside her house,
7:50 am
and told the police his name. but they didn't question him, or come back for the rest of the cctv. hello, how are you doing? we talked to sarah's neighbours. the reason i'm knocking on the door is because there's a lady on the street who was burgled, and what i was doing was looking to see if anybody had any footage. we found three cameras with footage the police failed to collect. the cctv shows the suspect sarah identified going round the back of her house, and coming out herfront door. sarah hasn't seen this footage before. so that's about two minutes to four. 0k. we think that's him. sarah exhales. he comes out my front door. he does, sarah. he comes out my front door. yeah. all right, so that's him coming out your door.
7:51 am
you all right? yeah. do you want to know this, sarah? yeah. so he looks like he goes down the street, right? yeah. but... ..what he actually does... ..is he comes back and he comes back into the house. are you joking? no. no, i'm not. and then he leaves again very soon after that. right. this time he's carrying a bag — what appears to be a white bag. my laptop. right, ok. i don't know... and that's him. right. coming out with my stuff. yeah. 0k. the man says he didn't burgle sarah. lancashire police says it deployed crime scene investigators, completed house—to—house enquiries, and obtaining cctv footage before sarah's case was closed. the home office says there are now the highest number of police officers on record in england and wales to deal with crime. it does have a heavy end! you've managed it!
7:52 am
yeah! but sarah has decided she can no longer live in her home — she's moving out. the effect that it's had on my mental health has been horrendous. the police are promising to attend all home burglaries and follow all reasonable inquiries, but only one in 20 offenders now get charged — and it's their victims who are paying the price. bronagh munro, bbc news. you can see more on that story on panorama on bbc one at eight o'clock tonight. we are joined now by baroness helen newlove, who is the victims' commissioner for england and wales. good morning, thank you for coming in. i guess the key question is, are police taking crimes like that serious enough?— police taking crimes like that serious enough? police taking crimes like that serious enouuh? , ., , , , , serious enough? obviously the survey out shows that _ serious enough? obviously the survey out shows that they _ serious enough? obviously the survey out shows that they are _ serious enough? obviously the survey out shows that they are not _ serious enough? obviously the survey out shows that they are not and - serious enough? obviously the survey out shows that they are not and i - out shows that they are not and i have to say that i am back in my role as victims commission but the
7:53 am
majority of my e—mails show that police are not especially with anti—social behaviour, they are not joining the dots. it is very much in isolation. watching the clip rings me back to my last report, living nightmare, where the victims are having to move away and the police are not dealing with the root cause and the offenders once again. you can see the _ and the offenders once again. you can see the emotional impact there on a burglary, so much so that sarah had to move out of her house. you say that this is something that you hearin say that this is something that you hear in your position? yes. say that this is something that you hear in your position?— hear in your position? yes, as i sa , 17 hear in your position? yes, as i say. 17 years — hear in your position? yes, as i say, 17 years this _ hear in your position? yes, as i say, 17 years this year - hear in your position? yes, as i say, 17 years this year i - hear in your position? yes, as i say, 17 years this year i lost - hear in your position? yes, as i i say, 17 years this year i lost gary, and ifeel like i am on a carousel. nothing is really changing. whenever they say there is more police officers, at the end of the day, you have got victims who are doing their own investigation, even for serious crimes like rate and sexual assault. that shows that the police are not really doing what they are supposed to do. 50 really doing what they are supposed to do. ,, ., ., ., really doing what they are supposed to do. ., ., ,., . to do. so if there are more police

7:59 am
a word of warning though if you are heading out, it's worth checking because there is likely to be some disruption this morning still on the tube because this was called off at such a late stage. i will have details of that disruption for you in a few moments. more than a dozen flood warnings remain in place in parts of berkshire, surrey and buckinghamshire. the environment agency is warning homes could be at risk even though now onto the weather... there is a yellow warning for ice this morning. cloudy skies and snow showers moving in. remaining largely cloudy through the afternoon with more wintry showers drifting in from the east. a high of five degrees celsius. that's it from me for now — i'll be back with your next news, travel and weather updates in half an hour. now it's back tojon and sarah.
8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. our headlines today. ministers are meting today to look at ways of clearing the names of hundreds of wrongly convicted sub—postmasters. meanwhile a petition to strip the former post office boss paula vennells of her cbe over the scandal passes more than one million signatures. "we need more help." that's the plea from the unpaid carers who've contacted this programme, as we ask — "who cares?" footballers marcus stewart and stephen darby talk exclusively to breakfast about their march of the day, and life with mnd. do you feel... ..like you're a hindrance? but you shouldn't do, should you? laughter. is that bargain flight really a good deal?

we're taking a look at the hidden holiday costs that add up unexpectedly during the booking process — and how you can avoid them. and the golden globe i goes to...0ppenheimer. oppenheimer is the big winner at the golden globes in hollywood — taking home five awards. in sport — out of the fa cup and out of goals. arsenal manager mikel arteta says his team need a reset after losing to liverpool in the third round. good morning. some good news with the weather, things are looking drier today and through the week ahead, but colder. we have some frost, some fog, and a few wintry showers. i will be back with more details on about ten minutes. it's monday the 8th of january. thejustice secretary, alex chalk, will meet with the minister responsible for the post office today to discuss how hundreds of branch managers — who were wrongly convicted in the horizon it scandal —
8:02 am
could be cleared. pressure is increasing on number 10 to take action over what has been described as the most widespread miscarriage ofjustice in british history. here's our business correspondent marc ashdown. here's our business correspondent marc ashdown. hello, how can i help? 0h, hi, it'sjo hamilton- here from south warnborough. i'm trying to produce this week's cash account. - and what's the problem? jo hamilton's story was central to the recent itv drama — she was falsely accused of stealing £36,000 from the village post office she ran in hampshire. in the meantime, you'll need to make good the loss. i haven't got that money! her conviction has now been quashed, but she's still angry that so many are still waiting forjustice. to know my conviction's quashed and to keep the promise to my parents — who didn't live to see it, sadly — that i would never give up until i overturned my conviction... and, yeah, it's amazing. it also opens doors to compensation, as well, which is life—changing.
8:03 am
jo is among more than 700 post office managers convicted over a 16—year period from 1999 — faulty software in the horizon it system was to blame — but to overturn convictions, each and every person still has to appeal directly to the post office and prove their innocence. well, if you meet the victims and how traumatised and broken they are, you can understand why they don't want to go anywhere near a court. so therefore the government need to come up with a solution which expunges these convictions and restores these people's reputations. one suggestion is to remove the post office from the appeals process, and possibly pass new legislation to exonerate all of the victims as one. rishi sunak said thejustice secretary, alex chalk, is currently weighing up what to do. the group themselves have not been compensated. they've had literally a tiny interim payment or tiny payment at the beginning given to them,
8:04 am
and they're having to fight for the rest of it. so make claims, months later they come back. they've extended the deadline now from 6th of august this year to into next year, and by then it'll be heading for year six. you know, how can it possibly take that long to pay 500 people? a public inquiry is ongoing — the post office said it supports it and is keen to establish what went wrong in the past, and the accountability for it. a police investigation is also under way into whether crimes were committed by some of those prosecuting hundreds of innocent people in what's become known as britain's biggest miscarriage of justice. marc ashdown, bbc news. meanwhile, a petition calling for the former post office boss paula vennells to lose her cbe over the horizon scandal has attracted more than one million signatures. our chief political correspondent

8:06 am
very body which pursued them for their conviction in the first place. the other option they are looking at, a much bolder option, is potentially to propose a law, a simple law in parliament, asking parliament to quash all of the convictions. that seems to be where the political momentum is building this morning. chris hodges, who oversees for the government the compensation system as it currently exists, suggests the government should do that. but there are questions about the past, as well. why did the post office pursue these people? so doggedly. why did the post office tell postmasters that they were the only ones affected? what where various ministers, including sir ed davey, doing when they refused to meet the people affected? the big overall question, how on earth could this have happened?— how on earth could this have ha ened? , ., ~ how on earth could this have ha--ened? , ., ~ happened? indeed. henry, thank you ve much happened? indeed. henry, thank you very much indeed. _ happened? indeed. henry, thank you very much indeed. as _ happened? indeed. henry, thank you very much indeed. as well _ happened? indeed. henry, thank you very much indeed. as well as - happened? indeed. henry, thank you very much indeed. as well as the - very much indeed. as well as the drama we have been talking about that was on tv last week, there is

8:15 am
two former footballers, stephen darby and marcus stewart, at anfield in liverpool. adversity has brought them together. they're both living with motor neurone disease — a life—limiting degenerative disorder with no treatment and no cure. no. cos i called you. well, no, i emailed you, didn't i? so the first thing i wanted to do was get in contact with someone with mnd. because you were a footballer, as well. i just felt it was the right thing to do — to contact someone who played football. and i knew your name, of course.
8:16 am
stephen darby started his career at liverpool, and then was captain of bradford. marcus stewart was a prolific striker for ipswich, sunderland, and other clubs. last time i was here, i got the winner, i think. so how are you doing? yeah. but psychologically — which is important — you've still got that, mate. do you think that comes from your football background — that mental determination?
8:17 am
yeah, ido. you know, i think that football background, that being in an elite sport, i think it... although you don't know at the time, it kind of prepares you for what's happening now — a little bit, psychologically. i think we live... i think we're used to living in the moment as a player — day by day, week by week. you can't look four months ahead, you can't look a year ahead because you don't know what's going to go on. so i think, for me, it's... i can relate to it because that's how it is now. i live in the moment and i live week to week and don't look about next year, don't look about next month — just every day. i can't grip anything with this hand now. you know when you go to pick your phone up, the car seat? yeah. i could do that a year and a half ago. now, i've got to reach over and pick it with my right hand. yeah. but now this hand's starting to go a little bit. i can't...
8:18 am
i've still got the strength in it, but cramps and that fingerjust stays like that all the time, so it's always like that. and the higher i go, the more it bends over. stephen and marcus take a closer look at the pitch. and with their families, there are memories of the glory days. jamie clapham played it to me. i think markus babbel dived in, and i had to take it at that moment with my right foot. i'm left—footed. i rememberjimmyjilton — do you rememberjimmyjilton? he was put up as a liverpool player, as well. and he was just...happier than i was. from playing in front of thousands at anfield, both stephen and marcus are now becoming dependent on others for their everyday needs. do you feel... ..like you're a hindrance?
8:19 am
but you shouldn't do, should you? laughter. you still want to do things on your own, don't you, as well? that's the thing. you know, istill try and do my own lace up now and again. i'll be there all day because ijust can't do it. but i'll try. yeah, yeah. in recent weeks, stephen has posted pictures online of a fall at home. he was found by his wife, steph houghton. i know you're craving attention! that fall — what happened? and did steph push you over? that's what i want to know. what you going to say?
8:20 am
8:21 am
see, for me, what you just said — i wouldn't be able to speak about that. i don't want to. so you're braver than i am. i can't speak about that. i can't... i think that, but i don't speak about it. because i wouldn't have been as brave as you just were. along with the late doddie weir and rob burrow, stephen derby has and rob burrow, stephen darby has played a key role in raising the profile of mnd. he's been inspired by the extraordinary fundraising efforts of kevin sinfield, and is organising his own charity event — a walk between football clubs. no.
8:22 am
yeah. the walk is being called march of the day — it will cover 175 miles, starting at bradford, where stephen was captain, and stopping at almost 20 clubs including leeds, man united and everton, before ending at liverpool — stephen's first club. am i going to walk? can i finish at old trafford instead of coming here? is that all right?
8:23 am
so if i start at bradford, finish at old trafford, you carry on here. i'll have a couple of drinks at old trafford and we'll facetime each other. what about your ex—team—mates? how many of them are coming on the walk? are you paying them to come? i think that it could be one of the biggest events that the football family can get involved in. that's how i see it. what do you think? yeah. stephen is hoping to get football players past and present to take part in the walk. both men have been touched by the support they've had from former team—mates.
8:24 am
there's the main man. good player, isn't he? his friends got mnd, hasn't he?

picadilly line, suspended, severe delays in the bakerloo line and minor delays on the central and elizabeth lines. hello, good morning. it's a chilly start to the day and we start the day with a warning in place for the risk of ice. the met office yellow weather morning valid until 10am this morning for more southern parts of the region. as we will continue to see further showers being brought in on that brisk north—easterly wind and these showers may be wintry in nature, over the hills and even down to lower levels at times. there will be some drier weather in between, though, and temperatures only reaching two to five celsius so a chilly day and a chilly night in store as well with more in the way of cloud for many, some clearer spells by the early hours and temperatures again dipping to freezing or below. and again the risk of some icy stretches on untreated roads and surfaces. but we stay with high—pressure for the next few days and with that brisk east north—easterly wind, but it will become drier for tuesday and for wednesday with more in the way of sunshine during the day. but it will be cold and it will still be quite breezy. and that will make
8:31 am
it feel even colder. by the end of the week, though, temperatures up a few degrees, around seven or eight celsius. that's your forecast for now. that's it from me for now. i'll be back with your next news, travel and weather updates in half an hour. but now it's back tojon and sarah. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. over the last week, breakfast has been looking at the state of the care system across the uk and we've been overwhelmed with the response, with many of you getting in touch to share your own experiences. our reporterjayne mccubbin joins us live from blackpool carers centre now, which provides advice, support and respite for unpaid carers as well as young adult carers. they are busy there, aren't they,

8:33 am
i have ever, ever done. there are days that i get up and i think, "i don't know if i'm going to have the time or the energy to be able to do this one more day." do you think unpaid carers are often overlooked and forgotten? oh, gosh, yes. from the army of unpaid carers, the young carers, the foster carers, we heard the same message time and time again. carers don't always feel cared for. we asked for help and they cut it off. scared. scared, yeah, i know you're scared. i'm all right, yeah. i'm david, nice to meet you. i appreciate everything they have done, they are really important to
8:34 am
me. i'm david, nice to meet you. so many of you contacted breakfast with your own story. and this is toby. my name is catherine taylor, i am a mum and a carer. my name is neil and i'm in leeds. so when you heard that question on bbc breakfast, "who cares", who do you feel cares for you? nobody. nobody, really. barbara is a full time carer for her husband, david, who has multiple sclerosis. what needs to change, would you say, babs? do you know what needs to change? they say, "oh, let's, let's, let's give them a coffee morning. a carer's coffee morning."
8:35 am
well, what i would actually need and prefer is help. but cathy contacted us to say that fighting for help for her autistic son noah can be all—consuming. he can become anxious to the point where he might run out of the house, he might say that he doesn't want his life any more. as a carer, i struggle to get the support, and fighting that system, i would say is one of the hardest things. how much time does that fight take up? it takes up such a significant amount of time that it compromises my ability to care for my son _ how are we doing? my my history is, i was in the army for 20 years. i was a sniper, i had done things like northern ireland, kosovo and iraq. when my mum was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma, it is
8:36 am

8:46 am
surprise you with unexpected fees and charges. so—called drip pricing is most commonly used by airlines and train companies. you might spot a cheap flight that looks like a bargain, but then the airline has hidden extra costs for things like luggage fees, faster boarding, and even picking your own seats. you tend to only find out about all these things towards the end of the booking process. then there's micro—charging, extra fees for add—on services that used to be free, like printing off your boarding pass at an airport. and it's notjust limited to travel. these add—on fees appear for all sorts of things from theatre and concert tickets to insurance policies and hotels. adding up to an eye—watering £1.6 billion a year for those booking online. and of that, over £740 million of those extra fees were for flights or holidays.
8:47 am
last september the government launched a consultation, proposing to crack down on what it calls "snea ky" fees and charges, to make online shopping more transparent. there should be a update in a few weeks. but a couple of things to remember in the meantime. always triple check your booking before you click the buy button. mistakes can be costly, including correcting your name or passport details if you've entered them wrongly. in fact, changing any aspect of a booking is expensive. and don't assume the cheapest option is the best. always look at what the add—on charges are for luggage and seats before starting the final booking process. that's some advice from me. there are plenty of other pitfalls to be aware of. we're joined now by simon calder, travel correspondent at the independent. with all of these hidden charges,
