back where it all began, cameron norrie grew up in auckland but if he wanted to feel at home against a teenager the frenchman wasn't feeling too hospitable. it took a while for norrie to get going in a 16 game match get going he did taking the first at 16—3. he said the match was exactly what he needed as he stepped up his preparations for the australian open although he might have preferred in early and night. a tie—break put up on the second seed beat in the final here last year persevered. next up — a court of final meeting with chili's world number 82. court of final meeting with chili's world number82. norrie court of final meeting with chili's world number 82. norrie is assured a spotin world number 82. norrie is assured a spot in the main draw but mark raducanu is first grand slam for a year is uncertain. mr charity match yesterday with soren is she skipping another exhibition tomorrow. but her participation in the australian open is unlikely to be affected. some already in the draw five more hoping to keep alive their hopes ofjoining

have been overturned. the government has previously said it will pursue it firm fujitsu — which designed the horizon software for compensation, if it is found to be at fault. let's hear now from some of the sub—postmasters who've been through this scandal. bbc breakfast invited a group of them onto their sofas this morning — here's a little of what they had to say. i'm tom hedges. i ran a post office at hoxton, which is about eight miles outside skegness. i was there for 16 years until i was dismissed in 2009 and convicted in court in 2010. i had to wait a number of years until 2021 when my conviction was overturned. and frankly, it wrecked my life, my family's life and everybody i know�*s life.

it was the most horrendous thing i have ever been through. i was very lucky in one way — i didn't go bankrupt like a lot of the other people. and ijust feel very privileged to sit here this morning and address the nation because of the wonderful tv show that the itv have produced. it seems a weird thing to say on the bbc, but there we go. i do feel that that story has dragged us right onto the very top of the media agenda, and i'm very, very pleased that that's the case. my name is maria. i'm from huddersfield. this is the first time i've ever felt strong enough to speak to anyone about what's happened. my contract by the terminate. my contract after i pay back more than £30,000 back to them. 30,000? yeah.

alison. my name is alison hall. i run a post office in hightown liversedge, west yorkshire, until i was suspended in 2010 of a shortfall of nearly £15,000. i admitted to false accounting charge, but it was overturned three years ago. that's it. my name is mohammed russell. i worked for the post office for 27 years and then i was convicted of false accounting. i had to wear a tag for three months and had a suspended sentence for 12 months. i've carried the shame ever since. i refused to carry it any longer. my name is janet skinner.

i worked for the post office from 1994 to i was suspended in 2006 for shortfall £59,000. i was given a nine month custodial sentence, served three months in prison, and the rest on home curfew. it's affected everything of my life going forward for the past 16 years. my name is scott darlington. i ran alderley edge post office for four years in 2005. i was suspended in 2009, convicted in 2010. i couldn't get a job for three and a half years after that. i couldn't afford to pay for my daughter's school uniform. i suffered awful stigma and embarrassment and financial distress ever since. and i'm glad that things have come to a head and we're able to speak about it now. hi, my name is vikas patel. i'm here on behalf of my father, vipin patel of oxford.

he was wrongfully prosecuted by post office ltd in 2011 and his health is completely shattered. it's only going to get worse, and he's not yet to receive compensation. my name is tim brenner. iran a post office in pembrokeshire from 2005 until a shortfall was found in late 2009, which i was forced to pay back some 22 and a half thousand pounds. i was then prosecuted for false accounting until my conviction was quashed in 2001. my life was left in tatters, and my customers and villagers thought i was a fraud. my name is sally stringer. iran a small rural post office in bedford for nearly, nearly 20 years. i'm fortunate that i wasn't convicted. i had to use my own money to pay for all the shortfalls from the corrupt horizon system. and ijoined the 555 to see

if i can help getjustice. we need to have the monies that were paid to post office put back to the postmasters. in credible stories. the story has also been covered on nicky campbell's radio 5 show this morning. during the programme he took this call from karen who's a former post mistress. well, i'd been running my post office — it was like a main one, they closed the main one down the road for 20 years and in 2000 i had the horizon system put in and we just kept being sure. , just kept being short. up to that point, i was audited not 20, about 17 years. i was audited and everything was fine. and then i kept being short. my husband, when we were old in our 60s, he was 67. he was taking the lump sum out of his pension pot and in the end he couldn't do it anymore.

so i wasn't brave like all the other postmasters. i took a route where i hid it and i hid it and moved money around from the shop to the post office for about eight months, two years. and i knew that. i mean, i knew it. i don't know. i couldn't take it. and then i knew i was going to be audited. and when they came out, i just confessed. i'd asked my managers, why was i keep being short before this, before i did all that. and they said, look at your staff. and i'd had my staff with me from the beginning and i knew it wasn't them. no one could help at all. i phoned up and nothing and ijust buried my head in the sand. i didn't know whether i was coming or going and just carried on until the auditors arrived. and as soon as they came, ijust said, yes, i've done it. i'd never had a clue

that it was horizon. it never entered my head that it would be a computer. and when i feel so stupid, when i look at mr. bates and how he'd worked it out, you know, why didn't i? i'm not a stupid person. really. yeah. well, what happened to you, karen, as a result of all this? it's the theft. and i pleaded guilty at magistrates�* court, and so i was sentenced for a year and then i went to prison. yeah. i went to prison for three months and three months with the tag. what was it like in there? actually, do you know what? it was better than what i�*d been going through the two years before that. wow. and it was ijust. i was all right in there. i didn�*t have anyone be nasty to me or anything. and that�*s all i can say, really. it�*s just what i did to my family. that�*s what i�*ll never.

my grandson was eight, he was bullied at school. my daughter in law, the mothers didn�*t speak to her. but on the whole, my family stood by me and friends and the people that came in my shop. they all wrote to me when i was in prison. i had so many letters. so i was lucky in that respect. they all supported me. just some of these sub postmasters talking to the bbc through the course of today. live now to westminster and our political correspondent rob watson. extraordinary detail where listening to there. i suspect that is why the story has resonated so much with the british public. yes story has resonated so much with the british public— british public. yes and beyond. i think for british _ british public. yes and beyond. i think for british people - british public. yes and beyond. i think for british people and - british public. yes and beyond. i. think for british people and people watching everywhere it doesn�*t require a great deal of imagination, does it? it�*s the worst thing anybody could picture her as being accused of something that you haven�*t done. not only that you not

cleared for a couple of hours but for years and years at your life and your finances, for years and years at your life and yourfinances, your for years and years at your life and your finances, your reputation for years and years at your life and yourfinances, your reputation is ruined. that�*s the universal dimension to this story. the particular reason why is resonated here in the uk is because it chimes with a sort of mood of disquiet in this country. a sort of sense that things aren�*t quite right, things haven�*t been working properly for some years, whether that�*s government, large companies and i�*m not saying these sentiments are necessarily fair. but i think why it resonates and this particular story solidifies it all, that idea of the little guy, the poor person up against an unsympathetic system that just doesn�*t work. and crushes them and take years and years. i think that�*s the international and national relevance. that's the international and national relevance.- that's the international and national relevance. , national relevance. yes, the weight ofthe national relevance. yes, the weight of the state — national relevance. yes, the weight of the state working _ national relevance. yes, the weight of the state working against - national relevance. yes, the weight of the state working against them, | of the state working against them, that was the phrase the labour mp was campaigned for many years, kevin jones told me early a short while

ago. in terms of what we�*ve heard from the government, they been working at breakneck speed sensors tv drama. what is the timeline do we think of what rishi sunak announced today? i think of what rishi sunak announced toda ? ~ think of what rishi sunak announced toda ? ,, , ., think of what rishi sunak announced toda ? ,, ,, .., think of what rishi sunak announced toda? today? i think you can assume from what's been — today? i think you can assume from what's been announced _ today? i think you can assume from what's been announced we're - today? i think you can assume from | what's been announced we're looking what�*s been announced we�*re looking at days, weeks and certainly not months. the idea is to move as quickly as possible. both in terms of our law but also in a blanket way exonerates everybody as we�*ve been saying but also sets up a new dimension to the compensation scheme for that what�*s being proposed is if you want to someone who is had your conviction overturned you can claim £600,000 right away. that�*s probably about $750,000. if you think you are still owed more than that you can pursue your claim in the normal way. and the timeline that the government has sat on this is before the end of the year. has sat on this is before the end of the ear. ~ ., ., ,.,

retribution. ., , . ., ,., has faced any charges or any form of retribution-— retribution. rob watson and west minister, thank _ retribution. rob watson and west minister, thank you. _ the makers of the baby formula, aptamil, have confirmed to the bbc that the price they charge uk retailers will drop by seven per cent from monday. it will be up to each shop whether they pass on that reduction. the average cost of baby formula has gone up by a quarter over the last two years — meaning it costs just under 89 meaning it costs just under £89 per month to feed a ten week old baby. our cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been to a baby bank in buxton supporting parents in need. anyone using formula milk knows it doesn�*t come cheap at the moment. the one he has now is about £10.50 for a tub. i mean, i try not to look sometimes because ijust think, i can�*t even think about the fact that it costs that much. the increase in price has meant some hard decisions for hannah and herfamily. because of how expensive everything�*s gone and how much everything�*s going up, i�*ve had to go back to work earlier than planned. you do struggle sometimes

to think, "well, i need to spend this £11 on milk. "i can�*t go and buy us omething nice for tea" or, you know, you have to sort of balance it and sacrifice your own stuff to buy something that your baby needs. the price of baby formula has increased dramatically recently right across the board, but the competition and markets authority say that big brands have increased the price by much more than it costs to make it. and that�*s particularly difficult for parents because there aren�*t that many options available on the market. and once they�*ve found a product that suits their baby, they�*re understandably reluctant to switch. this exploits parents, really, it's far too much for something that's so necessary. sometimes it was like 15, £16. and that would last you, what, a week? yeah, yeah, if that. then going on maternity, your pay is already decreased and then you're expected to pay even more for certain products that your baby needs. it's completely unfair. we�*re quite lucky because we�*ve got a storage unit on top of this,

but this is where the smaller items are kept. so we�*ve got. as a result of those price increases, more parents are turning to community baby banks like this one for help. the demand for formula has increased massively over the last six to 12 months. i�*d say it�*s gone up by about 200%. a tin costs 20 quid every few days for some families. and that might be the difference between putting the electric on or not or doing a food shop. what are parents doing to get round those high prices? there was a couple of mums that said that they�*ve used condensed milk in place of formula. going longer in between feeds. parents can�*t afford it, the companies that are creating this product do not need to have that massive amount of profit. there is a lot of times where we just have to say no to people because we haven�*t got it in or we haven�*t got the money to buy them. if we can�*t help them, they can�*t buy it themselves, what�*s happening to that baby? coletta smith, bbc news, in buxton.

it�*s the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings in france this year — and one woman who is hoping to visit the beaches of normandy for the first time to pay her respects is 103—year—old christian lamb. she was an officer in the women�*s royal naval service — and herjob was to secretly map the shoreline in advance of the attack — which was a turning point in the second world war. she�*s been sharing her memories withjohn maguire. all who could get their hands on newspapers... as the news of the d—day landings was greeted with relief and great excitement by the british public, those who�*d worked tirelessly to make them happen shared that sense of historic achievement. among them was christian lamb. at six in the morning, i heard the news that they had landed. i was very, very thrilled. she�*s being brought back to whitehall by the taxi charity for military veterans to visit the area where she worked 80 years ago.

in honour of her service, a suite has been named after her in the old war office buildings, now a raffles hotel called the owo. we felt we should give a bit of credit to this incredible woman that have helped the nation and help the entire world, when you think of it. especially me, as a frenchman, i owe so much to mrs lamb. i should say welcome to your suite! as a 23 —year—old wren in the royal navy, she helped to create maps for the landing craft. my office was down the stairs. i mean, we used to occasionally see winston churchill going up the stairs, but not the basement stairs. he didn�*t lower himself to that, no. i personally never talked about it, but i was very, very thankful to be doing something as a wren which was useful, because there was so manyjobs that you could have had which were completely useless, really. and i really felt it was useful.

we�*re looking at modern day maps of the normandy coastline, areas once so familiar to her, but never seen since. i haven�*t actually ever looked at a map since then. oh, really? no. despite playing a role in the success of the allied invasion, she�*s never visited the areas she charted in such vital detail, but would love to see them. it would mean a lot, really. i would like to see the exact places where they stayed, but i mean, it�*s such a long time ago. there won�*t be many people who are alive still that were alive then. but you�*d love to go? mm, it would be interesting. last summer, she recreated a flight she first took in 1943. even at 103 years old, her adventurous spirit remains undimmed. john maguire, bbc news, whitehall. let�*s turn to my favourite story of the day. an austrian heiress is

tax. marlena believes that is unfair so she is now trying to put together a council of people, she calls them the good counsel people to d side what to do with this money. went over the next few months from march to june they will attend meetings every weekend or at weekends in salzburg to try and decide what to do with the money. there will be given support by academics, specialists in the field and if they can agree then the money will go to that. she says she has no right to veto them. but also if they can�*t come to a decision according to the website the money would then go back to her. but she says this is an important step to make sure that the very rich don�*t have so much power in society. very rich don't have so much power in socie . ~ ., , ., very rich don't have so much power in society-— in society. what is an incredible tale. bethany, _ in society. what is an incredible tale. bethany, thank— in society. what is an incredible tale. bethany, thank you - in society. what is an incredible tale. bethany, thank you very i in society. what is an incredible - tale. bethany, thank you very much. spare a thought for the people in

the northwest territory of canada, they live so far north that though weeks on end as they see no sunlight at all but up until now. have a look at all but up until now. have a look at that. isn�*t that incredible. these spectacular sunrise was the first they�*ve seen in 30 days. the people they are have held a sunrise festival to celebrate. that is just about it from today�*s verified live. thank you for watching. hopefully, i will see you at the same time tomorrow. hello there. it�*s been another very cold day wherever you are, whether you�*ve had sunshine and whether you�*ve had clouds and it looks pretty similar for the next few days, could see a bit more cloud around. generally, it will stay dry thanks to high pressure. and there will be some sunshine around, particularly towards southern and western areas. this area of high pressure has been feeding in quite a bit of cloud to eastern scotland,

also eastern parts of england, the odd patch of drizzle at times too. the breeze is still a feature along north sea coast, but not as strong across southern areas as we head through this evening and overnight where we have the clear skies, it�*s going to be a cold one. central northern western scotland, southern england could be down to —3 to —5 celsius here, but a little less cold where we have the cloud. so tomorrow then we start off with some cloud across some eastern areas. again, eastern england seeing most of that cloud, it could run a little bit further southwards into south east england into the afternoon. so the best of the sunshine towards this southwest corner, maybe northern ireland and plenty of sunshine across scotland after a cold start there with some early mist and fog. temperatures maybe up a degree, eight degrees, but it certainly won�*t feel like that. then as we move through thursday nights, we see plenty of cloud feeding into england and wales, clearer spells across scotland, northern ireland. so it�*s here where we�*ll see the lowest. the temperatures could be down to minus seven celsius. and there�*s also a threat of some dense fog patches developing as the winds will be lighter here,

but less cold further south where we have the cloud area of high pressure shifts a little bit a bit further westwards. it does allow a lot of cloud around for central, southern and eastern parts of the country. certainly rather cloudy for england. wales could be quite gloomy all day in places best the sunshine scotland, maybe northern ireland, far north of england later in the day, maybe parts of wales too. but cold here after the very cold start, a little less cold further south and east because of more cloud cover. then as we head into the weekend, although southern areas will see quite a bit of sunshine, we�*ll start to open the floodgate to an arctic northerly and that will start to feed in plenty of snow showers to the northern half of scotland. accumulations really mounting up by the end of the weekend here, but it�*ll be largely dry, i think, cold with some sunshine across most central and southern parts of the country. we hold onto the cold weather into next week as well. further snow showers in the north and there�*s just the chance of some more widespread snow developing across central and southern areas around the middle part of the week. so stay tuned to the forecast

of uncertainty on this.

of the post office scandal by the end of the year. this is one of the greatest miscarriages ofjustice in our nation�*s history. almost one thousand sub post masters were convicted over a fifteen year period. today brings some relief at last:

public understanding of the scandal is forcing the government to actually do something about it. also tonight — more than 100,000 operations and appointments were postponed as a result of the longest doctors strike in nhs history. the children sending sexually explicit photos of themselves — not realising they could end up in trouble with the law. and the technology of tomorrow unveiled in las vegas today. tonight on bbc london. forced to divert sewage into a field after a pumping station fails. more on the aftermath of flooding in the home counties. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister says the government will bring in a new law to clear the names

of all the subpostmasters in england and wales who were wrongfully convicted
