exhaust all alternatives before taking what he called radical action. hannah miller was listening to that. those to view some of the difficulties that the government to run at the moment about what they do to get to move forward into scandal. the other thing that you heard was one mp recently issued that several of the people who have been caught up of the people who have been caught up in this who have had their lives ruined by the scandal are now reluctant to come forward and make their own individual cases. there is an issue of a lack of trust and the authorities and thatjustice will ever be done. the way to do this the most quickly to get the justice for the highest number of people is the question the government faces. there are those who would urge the government to urge individual cases, remove the role of the post office from the appeals process. what is

being looked at is mass appeal options or mass exoneration is. they are slightly different. the issue around an act of parliament that would overturn these convictions which some formerjustice secretaries have said they would be in favour of because they would be exceptional circumstances but it does raise questions about parliament and the judiciary and the government and that is something that the government is having to consider. the other option would be to launch a mass appeal, lump all of the convictions together and they will be taken through the courts. clearly you just heard the justice secretary that he wanted to exhaust all options before taking unprecedented action. this is an enormously complex legal area, a

complex scandal that has resulted in the situation in which we now find ourselves and the government to send that it will come forward with some kind of answers in the coming days, which is much more quickly than perhaps might have been expected before this whole scandal blew up again in the light of the itv drama. the issue is that we have heard from some of the people involved and they are not getting any younger. this has been going on for decades. it does take the fact that they have to overturn the conviction before they can even look at getting compensation, then there has to be decisions about how much compensation.— decisions about how much comensation. ., decisions about how much com ensation. ., ,., compensation. the government said back in september _ compensation. the government said back in september i _ compensation. the government said back in september i think _ compensation. the government said back in september i think it - compensation. the government said back in september i think it was, - back in september i think it was, that all of those who have had their convictions overturned could choose to take £600,000 as a guaranteed sum of money, or they can choose to look for compensation that meets their own individual circumstances, which whip —— which may be more or less.

as you say, the issue there is theirs then your conviction needs to have been overturned, which is why the hundreds of people who are still in the appeals process who haven't been through that process yet, it is all very well then you can have your compensation once your conviction is overturned, but overturning these convictions is silky because people otherwise will be eligible for the compensation through numerous routes that are on offer. he compensation through numerous routes that are on offer.— that are on offer. he mentioned the itv drama- — that are on offer. he mentioned the itv drama- the _ that are on offer. he mentioned the itv drama. the other _ that are on offer. he mentioned the itv drama. the other thing - that are on offer. he mentioned the itv drama. the other thing it - itv drama. the other thing it highlighted was the former chief executive, paula vennells, there has been a petition to have stripped of her cbe. we learned today that she went for a position in the church of england, as well.— went for a position in the church of england, as well. paula vennells is an ordained — england, as well. paula vennells is an ordained anglican _ england, as well. paula vennells is an ordained anglican priest - england, as well. paula vennells is an ordained anglican priest and - england, as well. paula vennells is an ordained anglican priest and we | an ordained anglican priest and we have learnt today that the archbishop of canterbury wanted her

where else to talk sleep and obstructive sleep apnoea, but in a hotel? and in this box is a device now on trial that will completely change how we diagnose this serious problem. but over time, the...there's obviously an increased risk of accidents, which can be very serious. it also can affect your heart and the cardiovascular system, so that can lead to an increased risk of stroke or problems with high blood pressure. getting a sleep apnoea diagnosis is complex — you pick up this wearable monitor from a hospital, where you're taught how to put it on. then, once it's in place, you try and get a good night's sleep. the next day, you have to return it to the hospital for lengthy analysis. back at the hospital, the data from that device is then analysed by a technician — that can take two or three hours — they produce a report that goes to the consultant, who then gets back in touch with the gp and the patient with the suggested course of action. but all of that can be replaced with this tiny device here — and it's quicker, easier and cheaper. now being trialled in coventry and warwickshire, this small device is posted to a potential sleep apnoea sufferer.

they stick it to their throat, and overnight, it records and analyses their sleep, ready for the consultant to look at. our sleep consultant is really pleased with the change because basically, it would mean they would spend less time doing all the diagnosis, and more time actually treating the patients. faster, easier and cheaper than the existing test — if the trial goes well, many more patients with sleep apnoea will be diagnosed and helped. david gregory—kumar, bbc news. we will have more of that device in about an hour's time. how many times have you thought you would like a complete career change? most of us never actually do anything about it. that is not the case with one primary school teacher who decided to leave herjob and start painting a picture a day. she never could have imagined the success she would have. norco in margate has built up a huge fan base and has now

it is going to be another dry day. still plenty of flood warnings out, but they're starting to reduce in number now. so high pressure driving our weather at the moment. quite a few isobars in the south. this is where we've got the breeziest conditions. breeze coming in from the east or north—east for southern england and wales too. still some wintry showers down towards the channel islands into the afternoon. also some snow flurries for the likes of dartmoor, for instance, as well. one or two light showers could come out of this cloud across north—east england and eastern scotland, but most places dry. plenty of sunshine for central parts of england, wales, northern ireland. temperatures only three to six degrees on the thermometer, but add on the wind chill and it's going to feel typically about minus two or minus three, especially towards southern england and the channel islands. into this evening and overnight, then, most of us looking dry again. we've got a bit more cloud filtering in across scotland and northern england as well. clearer skies further south and west. it's here that temperatures will fall lowest. so again, a widespread frost to start your wednesday morning, and i think we could well see some icy stretches and some fog patches, especially in the north.

through the day tomorrow, we might see a few more showers pushing into north—east england and eastern scotland. they'll be a little bit wintry over the higher ground — the pennines, for instance, southern uplands and the north york moors. more in the way of sunshine further south, but we've still got that brisk easterly wind and temperatures will be up a notch on recent days. so we could see seven or eight degrees on wednesday. not much change into thursday, but we've got this area of high pressure still with us. quite a bit of cloud that's going to be rotating around that coming in from the atlantic and trapped underneath the high pressure, so fairly cloudy in the north and the east, i think. southern england, perhaps parts of northern ireland seeing a little bit of sunshine at times, and it's not as cold as it has been. so seven or eight degrees our top temperature on thursday. thankfully, again, mostly dry. things are then looking largely dry, but somewhat cloudy and murky, i think, for friday. but it's going to be all change into the weekend because we'll start to see this weather front pushing its way south, not bringing too much in the way of any rainfall. but it will introduce just a few showers and some colder air. so heading into next week,

a real drop in those temperatures with the northerly winds developing and a chance of snow showers. at one — it's official. scientists now say last year globally was the hottest on record, driven by man—made climate change. while parts of europe roasted last year, the met office is warning that in the uk 2024 could see temperatures breach critical levels.
