and wounding the director, joel souza. mr baldwin has always claimed he was not responsible for her death, saying he was told the gun did not contain any live rounds. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never. that was the training that i had, you don't point a gun at someone and pull the trigger. he was first charged over a year ago, but the charges were dismissed when new evidence emerged that the gun may have been able to be fired without the trigger being pulled. but following a new forensic report, a grand jury has now concluded he should face trial, accused of involuntary manslaughter. the movie's armourer, hannah gutierrez—reed, is also facing the same charge. the film rust was completed in halyna hutchins' memory following her death. her family have welcomed the prospect of criminal trials, saying they've always wanted the truth about what happened that day. if convicted, alec baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison.

emma vardy, bbc news. a united nations human rights official has accused israeli troops in gaza of abusing palestinian detainees. he told the bbc he's received testimony from refugees fleeing gaza that people were beaten and humiliated. israel says it arrests people suspected of involvement in terrorist activity, and treats them in accordance with international law. president biden has said he believes a two—state solution can be found in the middle east, even with benjamin netanyahu in office. the israeli prime minister said this week that he opposed the creation of a palestinian state once the current war in gaza was over. mps have asked public sector organisations, including hmrc and the treasury, for details of any contracts with fujitsu. the commons treasury committee wants to know how much has been spent on contracts with the firm since 2019, when the high court ruled that its faulty horizon it system helped to wrongly convict hundreds of sub—postmasters

for theft and fraud. police are investigating after the bodies of four people — a man, a woman and two children — were found in a house near norwich. our reporter zoe o'brien joins us from the scene. zoe, what more can you tell us? we have been told not to speculate, the public has been told to try to not too speculative. what more do we know? it not too speculative. what more do we know? , ., ., know? it is a quiet morning here in costessey. — know? it is a quiet morning here in costessey, almost _ know? it is a quiet morning here in costessey, almost 24 _ know? it is a quiet morning here in costessey, almost 24 hours - know? it is a quiet morning here in costessey, almost 24 hours as - know? it is a quiet morning here in l costessey, almost 24 hours as police were called to the scene. still a significant police presence here. as you say, four bodies were found, the police forcing entry to the home just behind me, finding the bodies of a 45—year—old man, a 36—year—old woman, and two young girls, whose ages have not yet been given. as you can see, the road is still closed in both directions. police have said that they expect to be here for

quite some time, that they will be doing a very thorough investigation. as you say, they have asked people not to speculate, but they have told us this — that they believe the four people were part of the same family, that this is an isolated incident, and that this is the only property at the moment that they are active at. over the last day we have seen forensic officers coming and going. you can still see the tent up behind me. they say they are expecting to be here for quite some time. unexpected for this time of day, but neighbours were devastated by the loss of life. they say they didn't expect something like this to happen on their doorstep. postmortem examinations i get to take place but will bring you any updates that we kept throughout the course of the next few days. kept throughout the course of the next few days-—

about when you go to bed. at night. and it is the first thing that you think about when you wake up in the morning. and when you receive the bill from hmrc, deep brown envelope plans, it is harrowing. it isn't stress you feel, but absolute share terror, and that has gone on for years. ah. terror, and that has gone on for ears, �* ., terror, and that has gone on for years. a campaign to support victims has the backings _ years. a campaign to support victims has the backings of _ years. a campaign to support victims has the backings of senior _ years. a campaign to support victims has the backings of senior mps - years. a campaign to support victims has the backings of senior mps and l has the backings of senior mps and barristers as well as leading pension experts.— barristers as well as leading pension experts. barristers as well as leading ension exerts. ~ . ., ~' pension experts. what i would like see is immediately _ pension experts. what i would like see is immediately hmrc - pension experts. what i would like see is immediately hmrc put - pension experts. what i would like see is immediately hmrc put a - see is immediately hmrc put a moratorium on the assessments that are happening, stop sending out letters to people, and stop adding interest. just until we can get this sorted and get some breathing space — maybe six months. or compensation due to losses due to fraud by a third party. and change tax laws to account for circumstances where people have been scammed. hmrc says it doesn't tax —

which? says retailers and suppliers must label packaging more clearly, enabling shoppers to compare prices. japan has become the fifth country to land on the moon after a craft dubbed moon sniper touched down on the lunar surface — but the uncrewed vessel has a technical fault which means it may soon run out of power. our science correspondent pallab ghosh has the details. japan's lunar lander has touched down with a soft landing, but there has been a glitch. its solar panels aren't working, so unless it is fixed the spacecraft will run out of power. but experts say the mission has achieved 99% of its aims. this was all about precision landing. they have not confirmed the exact precision of the landing, but they are the fifth nation to land successfully on the moon and that is a huge success. flight engineers are poring through the spacecraft�*s data and will report later in the week on what went wrong. but an awful lot went right. they were able to test out a new advanced face recognition system to hone into its landing site. it also deployed one of its mini lunar rovers, able to hop where no rover has hopped before. but not another one,

which can literally roll back the frontiers of knowledge. it is a new way of doing space exploration and a big part of it is to bring down the costs, so we can de—risk these missions, do more of them at a faster turnaround and hopefully get more science and exploration out of each one. the team at the open university are building an instrument for a future mission involving bothjapan and india, as well as the uk. japan's achievement is the start of a new rush to the moon. india got there last year, and later in 2024 there will be several us attempts. and by the end of the decade, there will be chinese and european missions, so it is all getting very interesting. in the 19605 and 70s it was all nasa.

# walking on the moon one day...# but now it is an international race. a small fleet of spacecraft from across the world are on their way to lay the ground for humans to return. they are going because there are minerals and resources on the moon that will be used to build launch sites to go to mars and beyond. and this time, the plan is to stay for the long term. pallab ghosh, bbc news. incredible to see those pictures, isn't it? , incredible to see those pictures, isn't it?- never _ incredible to see those pictures, isn't it? yes. never ceases to fascinate- _ isn't it? yes. never ceases to fascinate. back— isn't it? yes. never ceases to fascinate. back here - isn't it? yes. never ceases to fascinate. back here on - isn't it? yes never ceases to fascinate. back here on earth, now. the clear skies have given us some spectacular views in the last few days, but if you want to make it better, just add these things — starlings. this mumuration took place at the rspb reserve at leighton moss, near morecambe in lancashire. so. it happens at dusk, just before

of many. surely one of the best trophies to have, the golden palm tree. let's move onto the tennis, and the australian open. in melbourne, british hopes rest with cameron norrie. he's the last brit remaining in the singles draw. the world number 19 has the tough task of taking on casper ruud. he will be hoping it can be as smooth as it was for wimbledon champion carlos alcaraz. without any fuss, the number two seed saw off china's shang juncheng, who was two sets down when he retired. alcaraz through then to the last 16, and then he could potentially play cameron norrie in the quarterfinals. a long way to go before that, though. striker ivan toney will play his first game since may as he returns from his eight—month ban for breaching betting rules. he will captain brentford against nottingham forest as they look to halt their slide down the table. of course, he is a human being like you and i. and he will be a little bit nervous. like that

eight—year—old boy who is playing his first game or is coming back, of course. but as soon as the kickoff goes, he will be zoomed in, ready, and ready to perform. elsewhere, jordan henderson has hinted he has regrets about his move to saudi arabia, but says he has full respect for the league and his team al—ettifaq, after they cancelled his contract to allow him to move to ajax. that's in amsterdam. henderson is hoping the move to the dutch league will improve his chances of playing for england at this summer's euros. he reiterated his apology to the lgbtq+ community and anyone upset by his move from liverpool to saudi in the summer. if you want to call them regrets or mistakes, you can call them that, but at the same time, the only mistakes, —— they are only mistakes if you don't learn from them. i learned a lot of things at saudi. i had a lot of experiences. i have nothing better to say about the

club, the league, the people who tried to make me feel as welcome as possible, and my family. it didn't turn up the way we both wanted it to. another of henderson's former clubs sunderland lost last night at home to hull city. there was just the one goal in it. and, how about this? a deflected effort from fabio carvalho, who onlyjoined, on loan from liverpool, ten days ago. city move into the championship play—off places, for now. sunderland drop to eighth. it is so tight around those positions, isn't it? the fourth round of the scottish cup is taking place this weekend. hearts stay in edinburgh and go to league two side the spartans this lunchtime. one game last night — aberdeen beat clyde 2—0 to progress to the next round, nicky devlin with the second goal of the night. it's the return of the women's super league, and third—placed arsenal can go level on points with leaders chelsea if they win at home to everton today. last night, aston villa beat leicester. how about this one? there were 28 attempts at goal, together.

but it was this early goal from rachel daly that secured villa's win, and they climb above leicester to 17 in the table. in hockey, great britain's men face new zealand in the semi—finals of the olympic qualifiers, knowing a win would guarantee them a place at paris later this year. before that, gb women face ireland in their third place play—off. only the winners will go to the summer games. the team haven't failed to qualify for an olympics since 200a. at the end of the day, it is a hockey match, which is what we all are trained to do and we all feel most comfortable doing that. it is taking as much as we can. obviously it is a huge occasion, mean so much, but it is taking some of the emotion away and seeing it as a hockey game and one that we want to win and that we know we can win if we are able to all put our best foot forward and kind of bring out a game. yes, on a knife edue, bring out a game. yes, on a knife edge. and — bring out a game. yes, on a knife edge, and winner— bring out a game. yes, on a knife edge, and winner takes _ bring out a game. yes, on a knife edge, and winner takes all- bring out a game. yes, on a knife edge, and winner takes all for- bring out a game. yes, on a knife| edge, and winner takes all for the men and women today in the hockey. thank you, mike. i'm not going on there. ~ , ., |

two documentaries in the running for an oscar nomination, including one that's performed live before an audience. and how waiting to find out if your name is included in the oscar nominations announcement is almost too much to bear. i mightjust turn off my phone. next week, not far from where i'm standing at the academy of motion picture arts and sciences headquarters in beverly hills, an early morning announcement will be made that will reverberate around the world, at least in film circles. the oscar nominations will be revealed. what names will make it onto that coveted list? what films will be recognised? well, we've been trying to work it out. several films are expected to get multiple nominations. among them, christopher nolan's oppenheimer. # watch me dance...# the highest—grossing film of last year, barbie from film—maker greta gerwig. the much—respected epic killers of the flower moon from veteran director martin scorsese, and poor things,

a dark satirical comedy starring emma stone from film—maker yorgos lanthimos. ten movies will be nominated for best picture, and this year everyone agrees, even the biggest names in the business, that there's no paucity of strong candidates. there's so many wonderful movies this year. actually, that's the most exciting part, to be able to be here and other places around those people that made those movies. at several awards events in recent times, oppenheimer has prevailed. the film could bring cillian murphy, its star, a best actor oscar. but he faces stiff competition from paul giamatti, who's already won best actor prizes for his portrayal of an ancient history teacher at a private boarding school in the holdovers. you are getting a lot of attention for your work right now. does that affect your self esteem? he laughs well, i guess it... i guess... i guess it bumps it up, sure. how could it not? it's a very nice thing. yeah, i think it's...

i think it's... i think it does. i think it takes it up a notch, not too much. and what would oscars recognition mean to you? well, i mean, it would be amazing. i don't anticipate it. the thing i think is coolest about that is the sense of history and tradition is really cool. to be a part... because americans don't have a lot of sort of like traditions and historical traditions like that. so that'd be cool. best actress seems a prize destined for emma stone, who gives a very memorable performance as the uninhibited and passionate bella baxter in poor things. we will need less of your tongue in the future, but overall, most agreeable. but that prize could easily go to lily gladstone, who portrays an osage woman providing the heart and soul of martin scorsese's killers of the flower moon. gladstone thinks the film marks a real turning point in the portrayal of indigenous people. to have so many incredible indigenous talent getting to be

on full display, telling the story that people have gotten very skewed, fantasised versions of. to get more real telling of that and to have the nation involved, osage nation involved so heavily, itjust, it feels historic all over. it feels really historic. right now, the best director prize seems christopher nolan's to lose. but don't count out greta gerwig or 81—year—old martin scorsese, who has a lot of support among many academy members who have lavished praise on his picture. are you a very harsh critic of your own work? i tend to want to feel that when i look in the mirror, when i do shave, that i can look at myself in a way, and i can feel that i did the best i could with each project under the circumstances at that time. can i say i'm always happy with it? no, but it's done. it's part of a long journey. british talent has a long tradition of picking up oscar nominations. in addition to oppenheimer�*s cast and crew, expect recognition for carey mulligan for playing leonard bernstein's wife in maestro, and for the holocaust film the zone of interest, directed byjonathan glazer. also, irish actor andrew scott could get nominated for his role in british film—maker andrew haigh's gay romance and ghost story,

all of us strangers. i love the fact that the film has been marketed without erasing the gays' love story out of it, because that's what used to happen. and i always thought it was such a weird, creepy thing to do, and also slightly nonsensical. margot! to me! award season is, of course, taking place against the backdrop of some sobering realities in the outside world — the conflict in the middle east, the ongoing war in ukraine, and a very politically divisive presidential election campaign here in the us. but awards contenders maintain that the oscar nominations and associated hoopla do have relevance in these strife—torn times. they believe oscar season and some of the films out there can help people address problems in the real world with stories that can unify. going into a movie theatre and sitting in the dark with strangers and feeling your common humanity is the power of film.

and it's helped coalesce society. but now society is... ..unimaginably confused. you know, entertainment's great, but we're at a critical point on the planet. so i'm very excited when a film actually goes after something in our soul and in our consciousness that we need to understand what we've done if we're to move forward. with audiences for the oscars declining in recent times, the event has become a bit of a diminishing spectacle. but this year, with two blockbusters, barbie and oppenheimer, expected to be heavily nominated, the academy is hoping that more people around the world will tune in, giving the telecast a significant and much—needed ratings bump. one film—maker for whom award season has been full of good tidings is celine song. she wrote and directed

the picture past lives. it's the story of the relationship between childhood friends over the course of two decades. the movie marks her directorial debut, and it's a debut that has brought forth many, many accolades. alan moloney went to meet celine song to find out more about her and her film. there wasjust this kid in my head for such a long time. i think ijust missed him. did he miss you? hae sung! past lives focuses on two childhood friends over a 24—year period. we first meet them as children in seouljust before nora moves with her family to canada. the story picks up 12 years later on separate continents as they reunite over social media before again dropping in on them 12 years later. # without you in...# it's a film about relationships and identity delicately told by playwright and first—time director celine song. she's been widely praised for the confidence she displays in her direction.

how did you finally kind of make thatjump and be able to kind of take this on, then? well, i can really talk about it as falling in love, because i think a few weeks into my making the movie, i think i had this feeling that i was like, "ha, ijust met the love of my life," and it is film—making and i know i'm going to do this till i'm 95. i'm going to do this for ever. i'm going to do this till i die. crucial to the film are the conflicting narratives and duality of self that comes from being a part of and separate from a culture. having herself moved away from korea at a young age before settling in new york, it's a deeply personal subject for song. i mean, the movie is about a self revelation of a woman. and i really had a bit of a self revelation of myself as a film—maker and as somebody

who is also going through some of the things that the character in the film is going through. but really the truth is that it came from this really personal moment. what i really love recently is the movie is coming out globally, is that this object that is now a film is now entering the lives of the audience and the people who's watching the movie and is being made personal again. the film has proved popular with critics and is expected to be nominated by the academy in a number of categories. for song, being a part of the awards conversation is a very new experience. to me, i'm just thrilled by it more than anything. and of course it's such... it's just an amazing thing. i'm just so happy. you know, i wish i had something weird to say or something, but i really think it's nothing but a wonderful thing.

past lives may be understated, but its intricate examination of complex relationships certainly doesn't lack impact. and while it may face stiff competition from more well—known films, it remains a dark horse for oscar recognition. that guy flew 13 hours to be here. i'm not going to tell you that you can't see him or something. nonfiction films, of course, figure in this year's oscars race and there are some very fine documentaries competing for recognition. the one that prognosticators think will probably win is called american symphony, and it follows a year in the life of a much—liked american musician and his wife. as emma jones now tells us, it's a story that has moments of greatjoy and sadness. the most honoured artist this year with 11 nominations is mrjon batiste right there. it's a real—life love story that's as moving as anything fiction can offer. american symphony, directed by emmy winner

matthew heineman, follows jon batiste and his wife, writer and artist suleika jaouad as they navigate her treatment for leukaemia, even as he enjoyed a record 11 nominations at the 2022 grammy awards. i won the biggest prize in music, come home, she's back in the hospital. it's not the film batiste expected to make. originally, it was to be about his composition of an innovative musical symphony that would challenge stereotypes about his music. found out about the nominations for the grammys. ii nominations, historic, grammy nods, on the same week, we found out that suleika, you know, the leukaemia had returned. and that was a choice that we had to make as a family. you know, do you continue rolling the cameras? so...that was a choice. and it was a choice that we made continually. laughter # in the world today...# in american symphony, his cameras capture the couple in some of their most intimate moments, including their marriage ceremony.

but heineman explains that initiallyjaouad refused to be involved. it took a lot of conversations and gaining her trust and she didn't want to be part of the film. it was really important for me to honour her, honour her story, make her fully formed in both person and artist herself. are you glad that you opened up your lives to him? lam. we talk about that all the time, and i think it's really a testament to the power of love and also creativity to alchemise these difficult passages. the film has created its own reverberations this award season. jon batiste was at the recent golden globes to present an award, and although the film couldn't be nominated there, as there's no documentary category, american symphony is already a shortlisted

favourite in the preliminary oscar documentary category, and may be in contention for best original song. it might have a close rival, though, in another story set around a well—known person dealing with illness. i was big. i was bigger than bubble gum. still is the story of michael] fox, his rise to fame and his diagnosis with parkinson's disease. you have to confront the brutal reality. certainly the revelation in american symphony of the private distress that can be going on under the public facade makes for reflection. batiste's career had taken him to band leader on cbs's the late show with stephen colbert in an industry where commercial success is viewed as a performer�*s ultimate goal. the grammys, biggest night of his life professionally. a lot of people would think that, like, he'll go out to a club and go out partying and, you know. but like that scene when he's alone in the trailer afterwards and praying and meditating and sort of soaking in this moment, also soaking in the duality of that high with him in the reality that

suleika was getting readmitted back into the hospital. suleika jaouad says she's doing well and the couple have some thoughts on how they got through this period of their lives. faith — that's the key. you know, you may not know what's ahead, but the faith is constant. and the film was an act of faith in some way. absolutely. i mean, we didn't know how the story of the film was going to end because we didn't know how the story of my illness was going to end. batiste does get to perform the symphony he wrote. but as he himself has said on the film, it's much more a symphony about life. one of the most ingenious and ambitious documentaries to have made it onto the preliminary shortlist

for an oscar is called 32 sounds. it's a beautifully constructed work which has been put together by film—maker sam green. he tells us about it in his own words. 32 sounds is a kind of meditation about sound built around 32 specific recordings of things. lorry horn beeps cat purrs loudly bugs chirrup it's a wide range, an eclectic list of things from the fog horns of san francisco, which is such a great and iconic sound... fog horn booms ..to the mating call of the moho braccatus, to the mating call of awhich which is a bird that went extinct in the �*80s, a hawaiian bird. there's some sounds from a woman, a sound — a composer and sound

artist named annea lockwood. several of the sounds connect to her. the more i learned about it, the more i realised sound is a way to talk about all sorts of big ideas. things like time, and time passing and ephemerality. i'm just one of many organisms that are listening with one another... ..within this environment, not even to the environment, we're within it. one of the big challenges with this film is how do you make a film about sound and tour around all kinds of theatres and have a consistent and consistently good sonic experience? so at some point my producer josh penn said, "i got an idea. "you're going to think it's terrible. "what if everybody wears headphones?" and i thought, "wow, that's actually a great idea." it could be...we could make a consistently good sonic experience. this right here is the first modality, the collective experience of cinema. you know, somebody said, "oh, no, with the pandemic, "movies became tv." and it's true. and it's not good for movies, i think.

so i'm very happy to be making something that's not that, that you still have to go to a theatre to see. you have to turn off your phone, you've got to buy a ticket. you have to really give yourself to the experience. this does have some audience participation, but i hope it's very gentle audience participation. it's like, close your eyes. you can just get up and walk around if you want. you know, those are no big deals. but i do think that that scrambles a little bit the way we experience a movie. so this is a five—minute interlude. feel free to get up, move around. feel the sounds in your whole body. i feel love by donna summer plays around this time, my younger brother had recently died. i was a mess. i kept saying, like, "sam, this is your life's work." like, "this is like a conglomeration of, "like, all these incredible films that you've made "and people you've met."

so i think, like he says in the film, this is really a piece about him and his loss and his experience of sound within that life process. bells ring there's a way in which when you open your ears, you can experience a lot of pleasure and you can also bring yourself into the present moment in a powerful way. so being open with your ears is a profound experience. so when the oscar nominations announcement is broadcast, it will be heard literally around the world and film—makers continents away will be tuning in to see if they've been nominated. we caught up with one berlin—based film—maker who is hoping that his name will be on the shortlist. it's wintertime in berlin, and i arranged to meet director ilker catak at a cafe in the neighbourhood of moabit.

his film, the teachers�* lounge, germany's official submission for the oscars, has already made it onto the preliminary academy awards shortlist for best international feature. set in a german school, the film tells of a new teacher played by leonie benesch, who, after a series of thefts in the school, strives to do the right thing. but everything blows up in herface. first and foremost, the film is about truth and how truth has become something very elusive. it's about how this whole notion of alternative facts, of how our debate culture has shifted, of how people just want to be right, instead of really listening to each other. and at the same time, it's about a boy trying to protect his mum, and a teacher who's trying

to protect the boy. so there is this personal thing on the one hand and the meta thing on the other. the film—maker has travelled to different cities and festivals over the last year to present and promote his film, and he's made numerous online appearances. being a potential oscar nominee can be a full—time job. it's about getting prestige and money, especially forfilm distributors who know that oscar recognition can bring a publicity windfall. how organised is it? do you feel you're part of a very orchestrated campaign right now? oh, definitely, definitely. like, we have a very good distributor, sony pictures classics, and they take care of everything. and i'm just actually just doing what they tell me to. it's something that's a privilege. and at the same time, you know, being nominated from germany, like being selected as the film they want to send in to this race also comes with the responsibility because ultimately you're representing also, not just your own film, but a cultural identity.

so that's why i'm really trying to give everything to do my best. speaks german you know, the oscar nominations are announced, i think 5:00 in the morning los angeles time on 23 january. will you be waiting very nervously to know what the outcome of that is, or what? i might...you know, i might just turn off my phone. whatever happens in terms of an oscar nomination, the director can rest assured that the teachers�* lounge has been a film that's brought considerable satisfaction to audiences and critics around the world, and it's already won top awards within germany. well, that brings our special talking movies awards season lookahead programme to a close. we hope you've enjoyed the show. please remember, you can always reach us online at... so from me, tom brook, and the rest of the talking

movies production team, it's goodbye as we leave you with a song from barbie which i think will get nominated for an oscar. # when did it end? # all the enjoyment # i'm sad again # don't tell my boyfriend # it's not what he's made for # what was i made for? #cos| # i don't know how to feel # but i want to try #

the met�*s focus now rests upon finding the newborn's mother. we are extremely concerned for her welfare, as she would have been to a traumatic ordeal, and will be in need of immediate medical attention following the birth. if you are the baby's mother, please know that your daughter is well. no matter what your circumstances, please do seek help by dialling 999. the force has also asked anyone who thinks they might know baby elsa's mother to contact them. officers say the newborn's survival on thursday night is largely due to the actions of the dog walker who found her. thinking fast, that person kept the baby girl warm until the london ambulance service paramedics arrived, and checked over before taking her to hospital. police say others also stayed on the scene and the measures they took contributed to saving the baby's life. we can speak to nick at the scene where the baby girl was found. good morning, next. police are clearly

desperate to find the baby's mother. you are right. they have made a point of saying that their primary concern is for the mother's health and well being. they said there are specialist officers, medics ready to supporter, and have urged her to make contact with them. we now know that little baby elsa was less than one hour old when she was found in that shopping bag right here on the pavement, right next to a busy road, and next to the entrance to this open space. the location of that shopping bag, the busyness of the road, with a dual carriagewayjust by the camera, you do get the sense of how inconspicuous she would have beenin of how inconspicuous she would have been in that shopping bag. police say they believe the dog walker that found her was alerted by the newborn's cries coming from that bag. i am stood here in many layers. it is called this morning. that little baby girl was found just wrapped in a towel in that shopping bag on thursday night. it was then

many degrees colder than it is this morning. despite all that, though, police say she is doing well in hospital, she is safe, unharmed, but you get the feeling that if she was found even a few moments later, things may have turned a very differently. ben? nick, for now, thank you for the update. nextjoining us from east —— nickjoining us from east london. naga has the rest of today's news, including developments from the middle east. a united nations human rights official who has visited gaza, has accused israeli forces of beating and humiliating palestinians they arrest. let's speak to our correspondent mark lowen injerusalem now. this has been reported to have been happening on the ground. it is a bigger picture their international tensions as well, with the latest comments from the us regarding benjamin netanyahu. yes. comments from the us regarding benjamin netanyahu.— comments from the us regarding benjamin netanyahu. yes, let's start with the comments _ benjamin netanyahu. yes, let's start with the comments from _ benjamin netanyahu. yes, let's start with the comments from the - benjamin netanyahu. yes, let's start with the comments from the un - benjamin netanyahu. yes, let's start i with the comments from the un human rights official, naga. he is the

alec baldwin, the actor, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of the cinematographer halyna hutchins on a film set in 2021. now, the 42—year—old was shot by a prop pistol which baldwin was holding. he's always claimed he didn't pull the trigger. emma vardy has the latest on this. you were in the room when the lady was shot? i was holding the gun, yeah. 0k. a rehearsal that went terribly wrong. alec baldwin had been getting ready for a scene during filming for the western movie rust in new mexico when a pistol he was holding went off, killing 42—year—old cinematographer halyna hutchins and wounding the director, joel souza. mr baldwin has always claimed he was not responsible for her death, saying he was told the gun did not contain any live rounds. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never. that was the training that i had, you don't point a gun at someone and pull the trigger. he was first charged over a year ago, but the charges were dismissed when new

evidence emerged that the gun may have been able to be fired without the trigger being pulled. but following a new forensic report, a grand jury has now concluded he should face trial, accused of involuntary manslaughter. the movie's armourer, hannah gutierrez—reed, is also facing the same charge. the film rust was completed in halyna hutchins' memory following her death. her family have welcomed the prospect of criminal trials, saying they've always wanted the truth about what happened that day. if convicted, alec baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison. emma vardy, bbc news. police are investigating after the bodies of four people — a man, a woman and two children — were found in a house near norwich. our reporter zoe o'brien joins us from the scene. the public has been told to limit speculation, that is what the police have said so far. what else do we know in terms of the facts? goad

going. this is a newbuild estate. lots of homes. names are being given locally. officers are repeating they don't want people to be giving names and regulating because they are processes that they have to follow. they are people that they need to inform. now, we know that of course this is very rare. this isn't something that everybody expects to happen. neverstop something that everybody expects to happen. never stop my colleagues that they are devastated by the loss of life and there really is a deep sense of shock that this has happened. police have said they are going to be had for some time. we don't know exactly the causes of death for those four people but postmortem examinations will be taking place and we will bring you any updates across the day and in the coming days.— any updates across the day and in the coming days. thank you for that, zoe. mps the coming days. thank you for that, zoe- mps have _ asked public sector organisations, including hmrc and the territory, of the details of any contracts with

fujitsu. the commons treasury committee wants to know how much has been spent on contracts with the firm since 2019, when the high court ruled that its faulty horizon it system helped to wrongly convict hundreds of sub—postmasters for theft and fraud. sexual health clinics in england are at breaking point, that's according to the councils running them. more than two thirds of local authority areas have seen a rise in gonorrhoea and syphilis infections since 2017. there are calls for extra government funding to meet the rise in demand. the consumer group which? is calling on supermarkets and manufacturers to be more transparent with customers about so—called shrinkflation. it is the process of products getting smaller while prices stay the same — or even go up. which? says retailers and suppliers must label packaging more clearly, enabling shoppers to compare prices. hundreds of people who were scammed out of their pensions are now facing large tax bills on money they no longer have. a group of mps says hmrc is making them victims twice over, as dan whitworth explains.

hundreds, possibly thousands of people have been affected by this — often public servants like nurses, firemen, and police officers — who say their only mistake has been to trust so—called financial experts. they said they have been victimised twice — first by scammers who in many cases ran off with much of their pension money, and secondly by hmrc, who is now chasing them for a huge tax bills for taking money out of their pension pots early, before they turned 55. sue flood and her husband was £230,000 of their retirement savings and now, on top of that, say they face the prospect of a tax bill running into six figures. there is never any real closure for you. it's the last thing you think about when you go to bed. at night. and it's the first thing that you think about when you wake up in the morning. and when you receive the bill

from hmrc, that brown envelope lands, it's harrowing. it isn't stress you feel, but absolute sheer terror, and that has gone on for years. a campaign to support victims has the backings of senior mps and barristers as well as leading pension experts. what i would like see is immediately hmrc put a moratorium on the assessments that are happening, stop sending out letters to people, and stop adding interest. just until we can get this sorted and get some breathing space — maybe six months. or compensation for losses due to fraud by a third party. and change tax laws to account for circumstances where people have been scammed. hmrc says it doesn't tax pensions lost to fraud, and it has a responsibility to collect the tax people legally owe to maintain a fair system for all. also that it takes the well being of all taxpayers seriously, and that it does everything it can for those who engage with them to get

their tax affairs in order. dan whitworth, bbc news. now, we know british politicians love a photo opportunity. they like being on a building site, may be visiting a factory. aha, being on a building site, may be visiting a factory.— visiting a factory. a high visibility _ visiting a factory. a high visibility vest. _ visiting a factory. a high visibility vest. hardhat, | visiting a factory. a high - visibility vest. hardhat, yes. this is the canadian _ visibility vest. hardhat, yes. this is the canadian version _ visibility vest. hardhat, yes. this is the canadian version of - visibility vest. hardhat, yes. this is the canadian version of that. l is the canadian version of that. this is the canadian prime minister justin trudeau watching the final block being installed on an igloo in the country's most northern city, iqualuit. he showed some outdoor skills, hopping aboard a sled — where is he? pulled by huskies. he wasjust going for a ride. the - wasjust going for a ride. the huskies were _ wasjust going for a ride. tue: huskies were pulling wasjust going for a ride. tte: huskies were pulling it. it is quite adventurous compared to what we would see. we don't have huskies and sleds here. we don't have the weather for it here. all four igloos, for that matter. but it

assassinations and border raids. the most high—profile escalation involves houthi rebels in yemen, attacking shipping in the red sea, they say in solidarity with palestinians. in response to the us and the uk have attacked houthi editions, most recently with us strikes on wednesday night. and the day before america began attacking the houthis, the us secretary of state said this. we the houthis, the us secretary of state said this.— the houthis, the us secretary of state said this. ~ , ., state said this. we were focused on makin: state said this. we were focused on making sure — state said this. we were focused on making sure that _ state said this. we were focused on making sure that the _ state said this. we were focused on making sure that the conflict, - making sure that the conflict, ongoing now and gaza, doesn't spread to other places. that has been our focus since october seven, and it remains our focus today. but focus since october seven, and it remains our focus today.- remains our focus today. but as america's _ remains our focus today. but as america's own _ remains our focus today. but as america's own actions - remains our focus today. but as america's own actions show, i remains our focus today. but as i america's own actions show, stopping the spread is proving difficult. as the spread is proving difficult. as the new york times puts it, the regional war no—one wanted is here, and it asks, how wide will it get? because already, along with the israel— gaza war, and the exchanges in the red sea and yemen, iran, syria, iraq and lebanon, and all of

these different escalations connect both to the israel gaza war, and to what you really have here is two sets one is israel against him us and the ramifications of that, but of course behind that the much wide running and longer conflicts between iran and its various allies in the region, and western interest more generally and the united states in particular. == generally and the united states in articular. ., , , ., , particular. -- one is israelvs hamas- _ particular. -- one is israelvs hamas- we _ particular. -- one is israelvs hamas. we have _ particular. -- one is israelvs hamas. we have seen i particular. -- one is israelvs hamas. we have seen this i particular. -- one is israelvs. hamas. we have seen this play particular. -- one is israelvs- hamas. we have seen this play out across the region.— hamas. we have seen this play out across the region. following october seven has been _ across the region. following october seven has been an _ across the region. following october seven has been an increase - across the region. following october seven has been an increase in i across the region. following october| seven has been an increase in border clashes between the israeli military and hezbollah in lebanon. hezbollah is backed by iran, as is hamas. then, in earlyjanuary, there is backed by iran, as is hamas. then, in early january, there was is backed by iran, as is hamas. then, in earlyjanuary, there was an assassination in lebanon of a senior hamas leader. it is assumed israel was responsible. the same is true of the assassination of a senior iranian commander in syria in december. syria is an ally of iran.

was an israeli spy base. iran also claimed israel and the us were in part responsible for the kerman attack. iran has provided no evidence for either allegation. iran is relevant to other investigations —— escalations in iraq as well. recently there has been an increase in attacks and share militias in iraq, those militias are backed by iran. this week, another layer of complexity was added. on tuesday, iran launched a missile and drone attack in neighbouring pakistan. it said the target was an iranian military group. in response, packets on launched retaliatory strikes at targets inside iran. these developments do not directly connect to gaza, but they do connect to iran's broader efforts to establish its military strength in the region. they are more evidence of how fluid the security situation is, and faced with that situation, each country, each military group, has choices to make. for now, the houthi keep

attacking shipping in the red sea and the us has re— designated to be houthis as global terrorists. it continues its military action also. the americans argue this is the way to stop disruption in the red sea. but not everybody takes that position. translation: france decided not _ position. translation: france decided not to _ position. translation: france decided not to join _ position. translation: france decided not to join a _ position. translation: france decided not to join a coalition i position. translation: france i decided not to join a coalition that sought to carry out, or had carried out, pre—emptive strikes against the houthis on their soil. why? precisely because we have a stance that seeks to avoid any escalation. but escalation is what is happening. this week iran had this message. translation: ii this week iran had this message. translation:— this week iran had this message. translation: ., translation: if the genocide in gaza sto s, translation: if the genocide in gaza stos, it translation: if the genocide in gaza sto s, it will translation: if the genocide in gaza stops, it will lead _ translation: if the genocide in gaza stops, it will lead to _ translation: if the genocide in gaza stops, it will lead to the _ translation: if the genocide in gaza stops, it will lead to the end _ translation: if the genocide in gaza stops, it will lead to the end of- stops, it will lead to the end of our attacks in the region. israel denies carrying _ our attacks in the region. israel denies carrying out _ our attacks in the region. israel denies carrying out genocide, l our attacks in the region. israel. denies carrying out genocide, and our attacks in the region. israel denies carrying out genocide, and an end to hostilities in gaza will certainly not end the long—standing tensions in the region. but while we are some distance from a full—scale regional war, there is no doubt be israel gaza war continues to pour

the rafah crossing bridge and provide humanitarian assistance of those people. that is why we are very clear that we need a truce now so that we can move to a sustainable ceasefire. i think the whole global community reached that position at the united nations shortly before christmas and we must now see those hostages returned and get back to peace and negotiation with the palestinian and gazan people. hagar palestinian and gazan people. how ho eful palestinian and gazan people. how hopeful are — palestinian and gazan people. how hopeful are you — palestinian and gazan people. how hopeful are you that that will happen? there has been another un resolution calling for israel to end its abandonment of gaza. will you call for an outright ceasefire to protect civilians and get aid in? == protect civilians and get aid in? -- two and bombardment. the labour party once the fighting to stop now. we want to see a sustainable ceasefire. that is why have been back to the region four times over the last six weeks. i was in lebanon last week because we want to see no

escalation and broader fighting last week because we want to see no escalation and broaderfighting in the middle east. there is a lot of discussion and attempts to bring this crisis to an end and i saw a proposaljust this crisis to an end and i saw a proposal just yesterday being reported where arab nations are coming together with the us and europe to look at this next stage. and that next stage must be a two state solution. i negotiated... someone that has really been ruled out once again by the israeli prime minister this week. —— something that has. i think the comments of benjamin netanyahu were unacceptable. the palestinian cause is a just cause. it is for people to have an inalienable right to statehood. the only way out of this crisis is a two state solution. that was the position with the oslo accords. we almost got there. we must now redouble our efforts to

give the palestinian people a state of their own so they can live in peace, alongside a sovereign israeli state. ., . ~' peace, alongside a sovereign israeli state. ., ., ~ ., ., state. you talk about the need for the international _ state. you talk about the need for the international community i state. you talk about the need for the international community to i state. you talk about the need for the international community to be co—ordinated in its response to some of these global crises. i'm interested in the uk relationship with the united states. we know a big year there politically, too, facing a presidential election. if you look at the iowa caucus this week telling us that donald trump is a real contender once again to take on president biden for the white house. will you be able to work with donald trump? i'm looking at what you have described him previously, calling him a racist, a kkk, and a nazis sympathiser. how will that relationship work, if donald trump returns to the white house? look, the truth is — returns to the white house? look, the truth is that _ returns to the white house? look, the truth is that politicians - returns to the white house? look, the truth is that politicians on i the truth is that politicians on both sides of the isles in our own country and in much of the western world have had strong things to say

but we do know because of liz truss and the budget that we had under classic lighting, our finances are in a dire state, but it is our desire to get to that by the second half of the next parliament return. —— kwasi kwarteng. but your premises when industries were 0.1%, when you could borrow the money cheaply. now that they are at five at a quarter %, this will cost you much more. this is within our fiscal role because we believe you are borrowing to invest in the jobs of the future. but you can't borrow more than you can afford. it is our ambition to get to the £20 billion. let city inheritance we get from this government. it doesn't feel like it will be a very good one. —— £28 billion. we had to fiscal events of the cause of the year, with a budget in march and autumn statement, and it looks like that is scheduled for september. we it looks like that is scheduled for september-— it looks like that is scheduled for setember. ~ september. we will keep a good close e e on it. september. we will keep a good close eye on it- good _ september. we will keep a good close eye on it. good to _

he could potentially play, cameron norrie in the quarter finals. a long way to go before that, though — onto football, and it's finally the end of the banishment, for brentford striker ivan toney, who will play his first game since may. he returns from his eight—month ban for breaching betting rules, and will captain brentford against nottingham forest, as they look to halt their slide down the table. the energy brings, his smile and positivity, every day the training ground, is a massive thing. and then on the pitch, he drags people, he wants to win, he will want to help the team, so of course it is a massive boost. now, arsenal face crystal palace at lunchtime, hoping to close the gap on league leaders, liverpool. mikel arteta's side have lost their last three games in all competitions but the spaniard says they're feeling rejuvenated after a warm weather training break in dubai. that's nice. we are recharged and

goal of the night. it's the return of the women's super league — third placed arsenal can go level on points with leaders chelsea, if they win at home to everton today. last night, aston villa beat leicester. there were 28 attempts at goal altogether, but it was this early goal from rachel daly that secured villa's win, and they climb above leicester to 17 in the table. rangers are into the final of the swpl cup, after a dramatic late win at celtic in a match which saw three penalties and five goals. no less. it was all square into stoppage time, when the visitors were awarded a penalty after caitlin hayes pulled back rio hardy in the celtic box. up stepped hardy to take the spot kick — and she made no mistake. 3—2 it finished. rangers will play either partick thistle or hibs in the final in march. 0 nto onto rugby union. saracens can book their place in the next phase of the champions cup against lyon. that is later today, this evening, in fact. that's because bristol were beaten 27—10, by connacht last night, meaning the bears, fall to bottom of pool 1, despite holding the last qualifying

spot before kick off. connacht are now fourth, a point ahead of saracens, and will be nervously watching tonight's game to see if they go through. glasgow have booked their place in the round of 16 with a 29—5 win over toulon. kyle rowe adding the icing on the cake with the final play of the game, as the warriors exact some revenge for last season's challenge cup defeat at the hands of toulon. natasha jonas has said home advantage makes a big difference as she came in under weight ahead of her fight against american mikaela mayer. the liverpudlian will defend her ibf welterweight title in her home city tonight. at 39 years old, jonas easily made the weight at 10 stone six, while mayer, who's taller, was five ounces heavier. a huge weekend of hockey. great britain's men face new zealand in the semi—finals of the olympic qualifiers, knowing a win would guarantee them a place at paris later this year. before that, though, gb women face ireland in their third place play—off. and again, only the winners of this will go to the summer games. the

temperatures are going to really be boosted as the atlantic starts to come in, getting rid of some of that arctic air we have been experiencing. that change begins today. with the warmer air instead of snow falling from the sky, it is going to be rain. we will see a fair bit of it across some western areas. rain across the next three days, darker colours, then the greens that appear in western parts of scotland into north—western england and north—western wales, we could see about 50—80 millimetres of rain, and with snowmelt we could see flooding as well. already some rain in the forecast today on what is a cloudier and brazier but also milder day for many. not raining everywhere, and if you are across parts of east anglia and the southeast, there is a chance this morning it will be a cold start with a bit of frost around, a dry and bright day to come, with some sunshine. centraland and bright day to come, with some sunshine. central and southern scotland, that rain believes but it will come and go all day long, parts of north—west england, north and

england and wales. the south and east begin today dry but as we go through sunday night and into monday the strongest of the winds, low low pressure pushing by, widespread gales through sunday night will make it a difficult night to get some sleep, and the met office have already issued amber weather warnings across parts of the uk, we could see winds of up to 18 miles an hour and some big travel in packs for monday morning rush—hour. back for monday morning rush-hour. back to ou for monday morning rush-hour. back to you both- — wilder and wilder, that is a great description. the wilder and wilder, that is a great description-— description. the sound effects while he was doing _ description. the sound effects while he was doing that, _ description. the sound effects while he was doing that, you _ description. the sound effects while he was doing that, you were - description. the sound effects while he was doing that, you were just - he was doing that, you were just saying" wow, wow, wow". we will be back with headlines at eight o'clock, but now it is time for newswatch. one news programme in scotland got just 200 viewers. is that value for money? welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up, the scottish news show

the seven was only created in 2019. we will be discussing the challenge for bbc budgets. and did bbc news give as much coverage to south africa's genocide case in court last week as they did to israel's defence? and if not, why not? first, you may feel it has been going on for some time already, but this week the process of selecting he will be the process of selecting he will be the us president from nextjanuary properly started. granted, we will not know the answer to that question until november five, not know the answer to that question until novemberfive, but not know the answer to that question until november five, but on monday iowa was the first state in which voters could choose who they thought should be the republican candidate, and their decision was pretty clear. like the cat that got the cream, or maybe the king regaining his crown, donald trump was practically inhaling the adoration. knowing he had won the support beyond his usual

base, including women, college graduates and younger voters. but with a long time to go before we know who will be occupying the white house next, andy buck watched some of the extensive coverage this week and wondered well, there will certainly be more coverage to come next tuesday, as thatis coverage to come next tuesday, as that is when the second primary contest for the republican nomination takes place in the state of new hampshire, and next week will be speaking to the north american editorfor bbc news be speaking to the north american editor for bbc news sarah smith, be speaking to the north american editorfor bbc news sarah smith, so if you have any further questions or comments you would like to put to her, please let us know. now, in the

streams of the court proceedings provided on the iplayer. alexander whitlock got in touch with us. and monica asked: app well, we asked the bbc for an interview on the subject, but no—one was available. instead, they pointed us towards this statement.

almost five years ago the bbc launched a new channel, bbc scotland, which had to dedicated

news programmes, as we covered on newswatch at the time. the nine, running for an hour at nine o'clock, and the seven earlier in the evening. but now those programmes are themselves in the news, and not in a good way. are themselves in the news, and not in a good way-— are themselves in the news, and not in a good way. welcome to the nine. the times newspaper _ in a good way. welcome to the nine. the times newspaper revealed - in a good way. welcome to the nine. the times newspaper revealed that l in a good way. welcome to the nine. | the times newspaper revealed that in addition of the nine last week attracted just 1700 viewers, which it said was 0.1% of those watching television at the time in scotland. there were even worse figures for there were even worse figures for the seven. one edition of the programme was seen by only 200 viewers. given those audience numbers and given that bbc one scotland already provides a dedicated daily news programme, reporting scotland, some people wondered weather those two bulletins on the bbc scotland channel provided value for money. john ewing was clear in his view.

our request for an interview on this was declined. but bbc scotland have said that taking viewing figures for one show it to —— at a certain time slot at a certain period of the year does not represent the totality of use. they added:

well, we can talk now to professor tim luckhurst, the principle of south college durham university and a former editor of news programmes at bbc scotland. the audience figures for, i think, particularly the nine and the seven, seem extraordinarily low. were you surprised by how low?- extraordinarily low. were you surprised by how low? well, it was not a good — surprised by how low? well, it was not a good time — surprised by how low? well, it was not a good time of _ surprised by how low? well, it was not a good time of the _ surprised by how low? well, it was not a good time of the year - surprised by how low? well, it was not a good time of the year to - not a good time of the year to measure those audiences, so i suspect they were lower than they are usually. but the central point is that viewing for the bbc scotland channels news programmes and indeed for the channel itself is well below expectations. it illustrates the extent to which television in a digital world is a diminishing asset, and one that the bbc needs to think very hard about investing into the extent that it has invested in the extent that it has invested in the separate new for scotland. fin the separate new for scotland. on the separate new for scotland. on the specific figures, the bbc points to the weekly reach, which they say is much higher, that is people who tuned in for a couple of minutes, but is more like 106,001; —— for the

nine, and they emphasise the importance of online views, does that make it better? i importance of online views, does that make it better?— that make it better? i think the fiaure of that make it better? i think the figure of 106,000 _ that make it better? i think the figure of 106,000 across - that make it better? i think the figure of 106,000 across the i that make it better? i think the . figure of 106,000 across the week would be regarded as extraordinarily small audience for a mainstream television programme, and i regard that as a very small reach. it is fewer copies than the scotsman used to sell when i was editor, and fewer copies than the scotsman used to sell in scotland alone, ignoring the london edition. given the competition, that really suggests bbc scotland's news programmes on television are not reaching an audience which justifies the investment that they cost and licence fees.— investment that they cost and licence fees. ., ., , ., licence fees. the argument was that scottish viewers _ licence fees. the argument was that scottish viewers should _ licence fees. the argument was that scottish viewers should have - licence fees. the argument was that scottish viewers should have a - scottish viewers should have a channel of their own, with their own focused news programmes, even if they attract smaller audiences. do you think that principle is wrong for the uk's public service broadcaster? l for the uk's public service broadcaster?— for the uk's public service broadcaster? ., �* ~ , broadcaster? i don't think it is wronu broadcaster? i don't think it is wron: at broadcaster? i don't think it is

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today: police urge the mother of a newborn baby found in a shopping bag in east london to come forward. if you are the baby's mother, please know that your daughter is well. no matter what your circumstances, please do seek help by dialling 999. the actor alec baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after the death of a crew member who was shot on a film set. japan becomes the fifth country to land a spacecraft on the moon, but technical problems mean engineers are fighting to save the mission. 17th birthday celebrations with a first major darts title. teenager luke littler plans to take his family out for dinner tomorrow,

after making more history, by winning the bahrain masters. and storm isha is set to bring us potentially damaging and destructive winds through sunday night into monday, but for today a different sort of weather day compared to the last few. much more cloud and rain at times in the north and the west. i'll have the details here on breakfast. good morning. our main story — it's saturday 20th january. our main story — the metropolitan police says it's extremely concerned for the welfare of a mother whose newborn baby was found in a shopping bag by the side of a road in east london. officers say the girl, who has been given the name elsa, was not injured in any way and is in good health, as nickjohnson reports. less than an hour after she was born, baby elsa, as she's been named, was found inside a shopping bag at the entrance to this open space on the side of a busy road. despite the subzero temperatures on thursday night, police say the little girl is unharmed and safe. the met�*s focus now rests

upon finding the newborn's mother. we are extremely concerned for her welfare as she will have been through a traumatic ordeal and will be in need of immediate medical attention following the birth. if you are the baby's mother, please know that your daughter is well. no matter what your circumstances please do seek help by dialling 999. the force has also asked anyone who thinks they might know baby elsa's mother to contact them. officers say the newborn's survival on thursday night was largely due to the actions of the dog walker who found her. thinking fast, that person kept the baby girl warm until london ambulance service paramedics arrived and checked her over before taking her to hospital. the police say others also stayed on the scene and the measures they took contributed to saving the baby's life.

we can talk to nick, who's at the scene where that baby girl was found. nick, the police desperate now to find the baby's mother? that's right. police have made a point of saying that their primary concern is for the health and well—being of the mother. they say that specialist officers and medics are ready and available to provide support and they have urged the mother to get in contact with them. as you head in that report, we know that little baby elsa was less than an hour old when she was found in that shopping bag just here on this pavement between this busy road and the entrance to this open space here. the location of the shopping bag, the busyness of the road, there is a jewel carriageway just bag, the busyness of the road, there is a jewel carriagewayjust behind the camera, you really do get a

sense of how inconspicuous a tiny little baby would have been in that shopping bag by the side of the road. police say they think the dog walker that came across baby elsa was alerted to her by the cries coming from that shopping bag. it is very cold this morning, i've got lots of layers on the little baby elsa was wrapped just in a towel inside that supermarket bag and it was considerably colder on thursday night than it is now, certainly below freezing. but despite all that, police say she is in hospital, she is doing well, she's safe and is unharmed but you get the sense if she had been discovered only a few moments later things could have ended very differently. ihlick ended very differently. nick johnson. — ended very differently. nick johnson, live _ ended very differently. nick johnson, live in _ ended very differently. nick johnson, live in east - ended very differently. nick johnson, live in east london, thank you for now. the time is approaching 8:05am. another development

in the accidental shooting on a film set three years ago — involving alec baldwin. naga, he's faced different charges over this before, hasn't he? the actor alec baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of halyna hutchins on the set of rust in 2021. the 42—year—old was shot by a prop pistol which baldwin was holding — but he's always claimed he didn't pull the trigger. our reporter emma vardy has the latest on this. you were in the room when that lady i was the one holding the gun, yeah. 0k. a rehearsal that went terribly wrong. alec baldwin had been getting ready for a scene during filming for the western movie rust in new mexico when a pistol he was holding went off, killing 42—year—old cinematographer halyna hutchins and wounding the director, joel souza. mr baldwin has always claimed he was not responsible for her death, saying he was told the gun did not contain any live rounds. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. never, never. that was the training that i had. you don't point a gun at somebody and pull the trigger. he was first charged over a year ago, but the charges were dismissed when new evidence emerged that the gun may have been able to be fired without the trigger being pulled. but following a new forensic report, a grand jury has now concluded he should face trial,

accused of involuntary manslaughter. the movie's armourer, hannah gutierrez—reed is also facing the same charge. the film rust was completed in halyna hutchins' memory following her death. her family have welcomed the prospect of criminal trials, saying they've always wanted the truth about what happened that day. if convicted, alec baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison. emma vardy, bbc news. a united nations human rights official has accused israeli troops in gaza of abusing palestinian detainees. he told the bbc he's received testimony from refugees fleeing gaza that people were beaten and humiliated. israel says it arrests people suspected of involvement in terrorist activity — and treats them in accordance with international law. president biden has said he believes a two—state solution can be found in the middle east — even with benjamin netanyahu in office. the israeli prime minister said this week that he opposed the creation of a palestinian state once

the current war in gaza is over. mps have asked public sector organisations, including hmrc and the treasury, for details of any contracts with fujitsu. the commons treasury committee wants to know how much has been spent on contracts with the firm since 2019, when the high court ruled that its faulty horizon it system helped to wrongly convict hundreds of sub—postmasters for theft and fraud. police are investigating after the bodies of four people — a man, a woman and two children — were found in a house near norwich. our reporter zoe o'brien joins us from the scene. good morning, zoe. speculation. this has been urged to be minimised by police at this moment in time. absolutely. good morning, naga. a quiet start to the day here but still a significant police presence now the sun has come up and their

activity has restarted here in costessey. officers were called here just over 2a hours ago shortly before 7am and forced entry into the home you can see over my shoulder there, and they found the bodies of four people. a 45—year—old man, a 36—year—old woman and two young girls. the ages of those girls have not been given at the moment. but what the police have said is this, this is an isolated incident. this is the only property they are active at at the moment and that they were members of the same family that they have not said how they were related at this stage. over the last 2a hours, forensic officers have been coming and going from the scene and norfolk police say they expect to be

here for some time because this is a huge investigation to establish what exactly happened here. as you say, speculation is really unhelpful to them at this time and they have asked people and names have been given locally and they have asked people not to do that because there are processes in place they have to follow, there are people they have to inform. my colleagues were here yesterday and people here say they are just in a yesterday and people here say they arejust in a huge yesterday and people here say they are just in a huge amount of shock that there is such devastation at the loss of life. but police will be here for some time. you can see the road is closed in both directions here. we haven't been given a cause of death for any of the four that were found. a postmortem examinations will take place and we will bring you any updates in the coming days. will bring you any updates in the coming days-— will bring you any updates in the coming days. zoie o'brien, thank

ou. sexual health clinics in england are at breaking point, according to the councils running them. more than two—thirds of local authority areas have seen a rise in gonorrhoea and syphilis infections since 2017 — and now they say soaring rates threaten to overwhelm services. there are calls for extra government funding to meet the rise in demand. the consumer group which? is calling on supermarkets and manufacturers to be more transparent with customers about so—called shrinkflation. it is the process of products getting smaller while prices stay the same or even go up. which? says retailers and suppliers must label packaging more clearly, enabling shoppers to compare prices. japan has become the fifth country to land on the moon after a craft dubbed moon sniper touched down on the lunar surface — but the uncrewed vessel has a technical fault which means it may soon run out of power. our science correspondent pallab ghosh has the details. japan's lunar lander has touched down with a soft landing, but there's been a glitch. its solar panels aren't working, so unless it's fixed, the spacecraft will run out of power. but experts say that the mission has achieved 99% of its aims. this was all about precision landing. they haven't confirmed the exact precision of the landing, but they're the fifth nation to land successfully on the moon.

and i think that is a huge success. flight engineers are poring through the spacecraft�*s data and will report next week on what went wrong. but an awful lot went right. they successfully tested an advanced face recognition system to home in on the landing site, and it also deployed one of its mini lunar rovers, able to hop where no rover has hopped before, but not another one, which can literally roll back the frontiers of knowledge. it's a new way of doing space exploration, and a big part of it is to bring down the costs so that we can de—risk these missions, do more of them, faster turn around and hopefully get both more science and exploration out of each one. the team at the open university are building an instrument for a future mission involving both japan and india, as well as the uk.

japan's achievement is the start of a new rush to the moon. india got there last year and later in 2024, there'll be several us attempts. by the end of the decade there'll be chinese and european missions. so it's all getting very interesting. in the 1960s and '70s it was all about nasa. singing but now it's an international race. # december # may.# a small fleet of spacecraft are on their way to lay the ground for humans to return. they're going because there are minerals and resources on the moon, which will be used to build launch sites to go to mars and beyond. and this time, the plan is to stay for the long term. pallab ghosh, bbc news. would you go to the moon? if it was quicker. i've just heard

in my area we would send her. that's nice, isn't it? don't nod and agree! the clear skies have given us some spectacular views in the last few days but if you want to make it better — just add starlings. just so we can say this word as well. this mumuration took place at the rspb reserve at leighton moss, near morecambe in lancashire. it happens at dusk, just before the birds roost for the night. loads of people go down there to watch and you can see why. it is so beautiful and so calming, especially with an incredible sky like that. we will get a closer shot in a second. look at that. it is mesmerising. it is hypnotic, isn't it? it is those shapes especially with the beautiful sky. matt told us earlier this guy is beautiful when it has been really cold. there have been some amazing sunrises and sunsets but it is all

change as matt can show us now. let's hope we don't see much of that. changing dramatically as well. good morning. the cold spell has come to an end, milder air, but also this weekend it will turn stormier, particularly later on sunday. sunday night and into monday morning, widespread severe gales, the worst likely to be in the west and there will be power and travel disruption almost definitely. that's one thing i will keep you updated shortly on. but today we already have a change in the weathertight, milder air, have a change in the weathertight, milderair, barely have a change in the weathertight, milder air, barely a thrust around but the breeze is picking up and it is rain rather than snow for some of you as well today. on the satellite image, the view from space shows this lump of cloud coming off the

east coast of the us developing into storm isha. but before it arrives a huge swathe of cloud over us at the moment, some gaps in the far south—east and the channel islands where we saw just south—east and the channel islands where we sawjust a touch of frost around and where it will stay dry through the day, sunshine coming and going. lots more cloud further north and west, north—west england, north west wales the rain will come and go all day, heaviest and most persistent this morning. a bit of rain elsewhere, the west of scotland, northern ireland but north—east scotland should brighten up north—east scotland should brighten up and six or 7 degrees in the east, warmer than it has been, double figures in the west. tonight in the west a pretty wet end to the day, heavy rain sweeping eastwards as we go through the night and into the early hours of tomorrow morning.

clearing out and clear skies to end the night. maybe a touch of frost in sheltered scottish glens but for most it will be a frost free start on sunday morning. the best part of sunday early on for many of you, central and eastern areas and to the north of scotland should have a lot of dry and bright weather, a bit of hazy sunshine but the cloud increases, outbreaks of rain will develop, especially central and southern scotland, northern ireland and northern and western england and where is, staying dry in the south and east. a mild day for all of us injanuary and east. a mild day for all of us in january with temperatures into the low in january with temperatures into the low teens in january with temperatures into the low teens for in january with temperatures into the low teens for some. in january with temperatures into the low teens for some. by in january with temperatures into the low teens for some. by this stage very windy, gales already widely by the time we finish sunday afternoon. they will strengthen further three sunday night. here is storm isha going to pass to the north of us, strong winds across the

board as it works eastwards throughout sunday night. in the west we are likely to see the strongest of the guests. the met office has issued amber warnings in these areas to take us through sunday and into monday. i suspect they may change a bit. they could be some big impacts, gusting winds 60, 70 mph bit. they could be some big impacts, gusting winds 60,70 mph and even more at the damage and destruction could last into monday morning's rush hour. we will keep you updated on bbc breakfast. thank you very much, we will speak to you later. that map is rather worrying that so i'm glad we had a heads up for it. it gives you a sense of where we need to be careful and the disruption matt was telling us it could cause particularly for travel on monday morning. the time isjust the time is just turning eight to imagine being conned out of your

pension pot and being forced to pay tax on the money that you no longer have. it is what has happened to hundreds of people who fell victim to a particular scam. money box's dan whitworth uclm with margaret snowdon from the pension scams industry group. i'm sure you have heard lots of cases this has been happening to. this have heard lots of cases this has been happening to.— been happening to. this started around 2010 _ been happening to. this started around 2010 in _ been happening to. this started around 2010 in many _ been happening to. this started around 2010 in many cases. - been happening to. this started around 2010 in many cases. in i been happening to. this started - around 2010 in many cases. in most of the cases i've come across, what happens is people who had earned a decent pension by then but still under the age of 55, that is a key, and we will explain why, people like nurses, firemen and women, police officers, public sector pensions, they were targeted by digital, dishonest financial advisers who were told we could make your pension

savings work harder, give your cash sum and reinvest the rest and it will work harder for you and make sum and reinvest the rest and it will work harderfor you and make up the difference. what happened is that money was stolen in most cases ljy that money was stolen in most cases by these scammers part of the sales process, the sales pitch by these people, was don't worry, the tax liabilities for withdrawing your pension early, which there are if you take your pension savings before 55, don't worry, this scheme, is not liable for that tax. what has happened in many cases not only have these victims had their money stolen, their retirement savings stolen, their retirement savings stolen, now the campaigners would say they are being victimised second time because hmrc is coming to them and saying you know that money you have had stolen, you are liable for tax on it and in many cases that's 55% of the money stolen. we are talking big bills. there is a lady called sue flood who is a victim representative on an all—party parliamentary group, campaign group on investment fraud, it happened to her, not only did she and her

husband lose around £230,000 of their savings, their pension, their future, they are also now fearing that they will be presented with a 6—figure bill from hmrc. she told me the impact it is having on people like her other victims.— like her other victims. suicidal thoughts. _ like her other victims. suicidal thoughts, mental— like her other victims. suicidal thoughts, mental breakdown, | like her other victims. suicidal- thoughts, mental breakdown, broken marriages, _ thoughts, mental breakdown, broken marriages, lostjobs, financial ruin and bankruptcy. they even reported that their— and bankruptcy. they even reported that their children who were living under— that their children who were living under this— that their children who were living under this quagmire, it was reported that they— under this quagmire, it was reported that they faced ruin because the kids had — that they faced ruin because the kids had self—harm, low self—esteem, sickness, _ kids had self—harm, low self—esteem, sickness, absence, school refusing. the only— sickness, absence, school refusing. the only difference between us and those _ the only difference between us and those post officers is we haven't gone _ those post officers is we haven't gone to — those post officers is we haven't gone to prison yet. you those post officers is we haven't gone to prison yet.— those post officers is we haven't gone to prison yet. you get a sense of what a significant _ gone to prison yet. you get a sense of what a significant difference - of what a significant difference this can make and how are people falling victim to this sort of thing, margaret? this falling victim to this sort of thing, margaret?— falling victim to this sort of thing, margaret? falling victim to this sort of thin , maraaret? �* , thing, margaret? as dan said there are sophisticated _ thing, margaret? as dan said there are sophisticated advisers - thing, margaret? as dan said there are sophisticated advisers who - thing, margaret? as dan said there| are sophisticated advisers who were out there _ are sophisticated advisers who were out there telling people that they could _ out there telling people that they could make more money for the future by doing _ could make more money for the future by doing a _ could make more money for the future by doing a particular thing. they were _ by doing a particular thing. they were frankly lying to people. it is nonsense? _ were frankly lying to people. it is nonsense? it _ were frankly lying to people. it is nonsense? it is _ were frankly lying to people. it is nonsense? it is complete - were frankly lying to people. it is . nonsense? it is complete nonsense, but how could _ nonsense? it is complete nonsense, but how could people _ nonsense? it is complete nonsense, but how could people fall _ nonsense? it is complete nonsense, but how could people fall for - nonsense? it is complete nonsense, but how could people fall for it? - but how could people fall for it? they— but how could people fall for it? they are — but how could people fall for it? they are very convincing. and actually — they are very convincing. and actually the schemes they were asking — actually the schemes they were asking people to transfer to were approved — asking people to transfer to were

this in the midst of the post of the scandal. a huge great publicity about that, lots of these victims are saying it is a similar case. hmrc is says it takes the well—being of all taxpayers seriously and does everything it can for those who engage with them to get their tax affairs in order. that doesn't stop what is happening. the campaigners would say, and again as i mentioned earlier, they are being victimised twice. a . earlier, they are being victimised twice. . , �* earlier, they are being victimised twice. ., , �* twice. margaret, isn't the point the mone is twice. margaret, isn't the point the money is moving — twice. margaret, isn't the point the money is moving to _ twice. margaret, isn't the point the money is moving to legitimate - twice. margaret, isn't the point the l money is moving to legitimate funds but being siphoned off? as far as hmrc are concerned they say you're taking your money out and put it in a fund, and all the costs and associated money that has gone elsewhere is not our responsibility? that is quite a logical thing to say actually~ — that is quite a logical thing to say actually. but the main point is people — actually. but the main point is people didn't know that what they were doing was wrong. if you don't know— were doing was wrong. if you don't know it _ were doing was wrong. if you don't know it is — were doing was wrong. if you don't know it is wrong it is a bit hard to say you _ know it is wrong it is a bit hard to say you should be punished for having — say you should be punished for having done that. it is a different world _ having done that. it is a different world in— having done that. it is a different world in 2010. if you think we had 'ust world in 2010. if you think we had just gone — world in 2010. if you think we had just gone through the financial crisis — just gone through the financial crisis, people were a bit nervous about—

often split communities apart, and sometimes it even divided families. our reporter fiona lamdin went to meet one mother and daughter who say their relationship is still recovering from the trauma of a post office investigation. this mum and daughter weren't allowed to speak to each other for 18 months. it's damaged everything. it's time i won't get back. and it's time that i needed my mum during my pregnancy and i didn't. if they did meet up, the post office investigators told them they risked going to prison. it'll be all right, girl. it's over now. all right? it's over. tracey merritt ran two post office shops with her daughter lisa in west dorset for five years. faulty software in the computer system horizon meant she had shortfalls every week. she ended up putting in over £20,000 of her own money.

the post office closed her down in 2010. tracey says the post office inspectors threatened her. i got a phone call to say, if you want to keep your daughter out of this, then we don't want you colluding on your story so you're not allowed to talk to her. that's it, end of contact, she can't be at the shop, she can't be at your house, you can't send her a christmas card, you can't send her— a birthday card, you cannot communicate with her at all. and i believed them. and lisa, what was that like for you? horrendous. everything i had known in a split second was gone. everything. and i didn't know why. i did not know why. iwas, literally, i had no support. i had nothing. lisa lost herfamily, her home and herjob.

when she found out she was pregnant, the one person she wanted to tell, she couldn't. i'm not going to get that 18 months back, the time from my pregnancy back when my parents should have been told. should have been there for the appointments, the scans. i'm not going to get that back. and that's why i'm angry. do you feel like you can trust your mum now? that's a really hard question. because at the end of the day, yes, i trust my mum. but do i trust that if anything happened again that i wouldn't be going? no. we have never spoken about it, have we? l we have never spoken about it, have we? ~ . we have never spoken about it, have we? ~' ., ., we have never spoken about it, have we? ~ ., ., , we? i think i have an immense guilt because at — we? i think i have an immense guilt because at the _ we? i think i have an immense guilt because at the end _ we? i think i have an immense guilt because at the end of _ we? i think i have an immense guilt because at the end of the _ we? i think i have an immense guilt because at the end of the day - we? i think i have an immense guilt because at the end of the day as - we? i think i have an immense guilt because at the end of the day as a i because at the end of the day as a parent, _ because at the end of the day as a parent, as — because at the end of the day as a parent, as a — because at the end of the day as a

thank you forjoining us here and good morning. could you tell us what interaction you have had with the company tata steel in terms of this latest announcement? i’ee company tata steel in terms of this latest announcement?— company tata steel in terms of this latest announcement? i've met them twice in the — latest announcement? i've met them twice in the last _ latest announcement? i've met them twice in the last two _ latest announcement? i've met them twice in the last two days, _ latest announcement? i've met them twice in the last two days, between l twice in the last two days, between myself and the first minister, we've met with the company ten or 11 times. and then engaging with them and the trade unions are trying to understand what is possible and also the announcement they were going to make and as you have just heard, steele is part of the story of the nation, there is a tremendous sense of pride in it as well as the economic value it provides. the decision by tata steel is clear is bounded by the level of investment the uk government was prepared to make, so the challenge now is whether tata steel go ahead with the proposals they may, go into formal consultation next week over there actually the uk government thinks a larger investment could secure a

much larger number ofjobs and a key asset for the future of the uk economy because using the blast furnaces means the uk becomes the only g20 country that cannot make steel from scrap. that means imports would have to be undertaken for a number of years in a really unsuitable climate and i think that is not the right thing today for the uk security point of view and from my point of view the wrong thing to don further works in port talbot and other areas, don further works in port talbot and otherareas, but don further works in port talbot and other areas, but understand the very real risks to the way of life and livelihoods that the announcement yesterday proves.— livelihoods that the announcement yesterday proves. there are a couple of issues to — yesterday proves. there are a couple of issues to look _ yesterday proves. there are a couple of issues to look at, _ yesterday proves. there are a couple of issues to look at, how _ yesterday proves. there are a couple of issues to look at, how much i yesterday proves. there are a couple of issues to look at, how much more | of issues to look at, how much more would you like the government to contribute to the transition first of all. at the moment it's half £1 billion. ., , ., ,., ., billion. there was a report that suggested _ billion. there was a report that suggested 680 _ billion. there was a report that suggested 680 million - billion. there was a report that suggested 680 million could i billion. there was a report that i suggested 680 million could provide a transition to keeping a blast

furnace open and avoid any compulsory redundancies and there was an alternative plan that did not have costing throughout eight but in the end, the uk government stuck with 500 million. my uk labourfront bench colleagues have been clear there is with the uk labour government a £3 billion transformation fund available so there could be funding available to deliver an alternative plan but of course for that to be real, there needs to be a general election so understanding the timeframe for any twists made is important and one of the things i said to the company and private meetings as well as public is that i do not want them to make any irreversible choices based on the current level of uk government costings. the current level of uk government costinus. ., , ., ., ., costings. you will be aware of the narrative around _ costings. you will be aware of the narrative around climate - costings. you will be aware of the narrative around climate change, | narrative around climate change, antonio guterres, the secretary general of the un said the era of global warming has ended and the era of global bowling has arrived and

tata steel says this transformation in this form would reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 5 million tonnes a year and overwhelm the uk emissions by about 1.5%. there is significant numbers. do you still think that is the good day goal that should be targeted?— should be targeted? there are two thins. should be targeted? there are two things- these _ should be targeted? there are two things. these blast _ should be targeted? there are two things. these blast furnaces i should be targeted? there are two things. these blast furnaces go i should be targeted? there are two| things. these blast furnaces go the uk will need to import steel from other parts of the world may throw the blast furnace so the emissions will take place in a different country and there will be additional costs for transporting into the uk together with economic risks. the second is even greenpeace say this is not a just transition, about whether saying steel needs to think about the way it's produced, an electric arc production which comes from recycling scrap metal is very much part of that. the uk needs to make sure we do not export lots of scrap as we do today stop it's

really about how could there be a transition and whether or not you will sacrifice notjust transition and whether or not you will sacrifice not just 2800 jobs announced yesterday but the multiplier of at least three extra jobs in the economy aligned with those jobs as well. a just transition to a low carbon future is what we have argued for and i accept there is a real imperative to see change made on these climate change imperatives over the next period. i have a nine—year—old son and i want to a future and i want to steal communities to have a future and a transition to low carbon steel that could and should be supported by the uk government. we are ready to play our part of the uk government will sit with us and the company to look at at what is possible today. what a transition meanjob at at what is possible today. what a transition mean job losses? at at what is possible today. what a transition meanjob losses? it's possible there could be job losses but the reality is we are talking about eye watering job losses in a

transition that is notjust, that is the point about negotiating, understanding what is possible today. you would expect trade unions today. you would expect trade unions to fight for every single job and so they should but they also have put forward credible proposals on the company say they are credible but what the company also says is given the current level of support they are not affordable so that is an important distinction to make. i want to see a future and there is a greener future on our doorstep because we are going to see significant energy produced flooding from offshore wind. i want to see those turbines made from welsh steel, i think that is possible and it will need steel and i think the most devastating thing would be to see all of the power generated with steel that does not come from wells or even the water uk, with jobs in manufacturing that are taken

elsewhere, the government in the netherlands is looking at centralising a tata steel plant bare, alternative ways of making steel and that is why it is a strategic issue for the uk and not simply a matter of social and economic devastation for the community i represent. mas economic devastation for the community i represent. was economy minister vaughan _ community i represent. was economy minister vaughan gething, _ community i represent. was economy minister vaughan gething, thank i community i represent. was economy minister vaughan gething, thank you | minister vaughan gething, thank you so much forjoining us. it isa it is a very nice birthday eve for littler. ~ ., , it is a very nice birthday eve for littler. ~ .,, ., , ., ,, littler. most families take their child out for _ littler. most families take their child out for dinner _ littler. most families take their child out for dinner potluck i littler. most families take their l child out for dinner potluck littler says he is taking his family to a slap up dinner. he has earned a decent paycheque and he has that beautiful trophy to put in the middle of the table. a day before his 17th birthday luke littler

has another feather in his cap — a first professional darts title after winning the bahrain masters. he had a complete breakfrom darts after reaching the final of the world championship, at the start of the year, and the rest paid off, as he beat the legend michael van gerwen, in the final. chettan pathak reports. luke the nuke littler! a first professional title for the teenager. luke littler turns 17 on sunday. and this, an early birthday present. the bahrain masters and £20,000. he can add that to his growing bank balance after his sensational run at the world championship, when he shocked the sport by reaching the final in his first senior event. his mum and dads video of him as a three—year—old developing his early technique went viral. that meant an invitation to bahrain. luke said he hadn't thrown a dart since the world final, but that did not show. oh, it's on.

the start of his quarterfinal saw him complete a nine darter, a rare feat. the perfect leg, which set him on his way to victory against nathan aspinall. that was sensational. and so was this 170 checkout in his semi—final against former world champion gerwyn price. and so to the final against michael van gerwen, who has three world titles. but even he couldn't stop luke littler. the top prize for him this time, and surely the first of many. chetan pathak, bbc news. in melbourne, british hopes rest with cameron norrie. he's the last brit remaining in the singles draw. the world number 19 has the tough task of taking on casper ruud and after norrie took the first set, he lost the second on a tie break. he needs to— one at the moment. ——

he needs to— one at the minute. so it certainly won't be as smooth as it was for wimbledon champion carlos alcaraz. without any fuss, the number two seed saw off china's shang jun—cheng, who was two sets down when he retired. alcaraz, through then, to the last 16, and then he could potentially play, cameron norrie in the quarter finals. a long way to go, before that though. onto football, and all eyes will be on brentford striker ivan toney later, who will play his first game since may. he returns from his eight month ban for breaching betting rules, and will captain brentford against nottingham forest, as they look to halt their recent slump. of course he is a human being like you and i and he will be a little bit nervous like that eight—year—old boy that's playing his first game or is coming back, of course. but as soon as the kick—off, the first whistle goes, he will be, boom, zoomed in, ready, and ready to perform. elsewhere, jordan henderson has hinted at his regrets over his move to saudi arabia — but says he has full respect for the league, and his former team al—ettifaq, after they cancelled his contract,

to allow him to move to ajax. henderson is hoping the transfer to the dutch league, will improve his chances of playing for england at this summer's euros. he reiterated his apology to the lgbtq+ community, and anyone upset by his move, from liverpool to saudi in the summer. if you want to call them regrets or mistakes, you can call them that, but at the same time, you know, the only mistakes are if you don't learn from them and i learned a lot of things out in saudi. there were a lot of different experiences. and like i said, i haven't got a bad word to say about anybody over there in the league, the club, the people they tried to make us feel as comfortable as possible and my family. in the end, it didn't turn out the way we both wanted it to. another of henderson's former clubs sunderland lost last night at home to hull city. there was just the one goal in it. a deflected effort from fabio carvalho, who onlyjoined, on loan from liverpool ten days ago. city move into the championship play—off places for now. sunderland drop to eighth.

the fourth round of the scottish cup is taking place this weekend. hearts stay in edinburgh and go to league two side the spartans this lunchtime. one game last night, aberdeen avoided another scottish cup giant—killing as they progressed to the last 16 with a comfortable victory over league two clyde. nicky devlin with the second. it's a huge weekend for hockey with great britain's men facing new zealand in the semi—finals of the olympic qualifiers, knowing a win would guarantee them a place at paris later this year. before that, gb's women face ireland in their third place play—off. only the winners will go to the summer games. the team haven't failed to qualify for an olympics since 2004. at the end of the day it is a hockey match which is what we all train to do and where we all feel most comfortable, so i think it is just taking as much as we can. obviously, it is a huge occasion and it means so much, but is trying to take some of that

emotion away and see it as a hockey game. again, we want to win and know we can win if we all put our best foot forward and bring our a game. a big day ahead and i cannot count. at least you have a band that can count. named after the railway station in york. it was named after seb number seven. idol station in york. it was named after seb number seven.— station in york. it was named after seb number seven. not only adept at numbers, seb number seven. not only adept at numbers. but — seb number seven. not only adept at numbers. but you — seb number seven. not only adept at numbers, but you have _ seb number seven. not only adept at numbers, but you have a _ seb number seven. not only adept at numbers, but you have a fight i seb number seven. not only adept at numbers, but you have a fight for- numbers, but you have a fight for everything. useless trivia.- everything. useless trivia. thank ou. it is everything. useless trivia. thank you- it is an _ everything. useless trivia. thank you. it is an entire _ everything. useless trivia. thank you. it is an entire segment. it i everything. useless trivia. thankj you. it is an entire segment. it is an entire week! _ with tracks like chasing rainbows and going for gold, shed seven were part of the britpop movement which — for many music fans — was the sound of the '90s. fast forward 30 years and they've just landed their first number one album. it only stayed at the top for a week, but as our reporter amy garcia found out,

it's made history. # i'm just chasing rainbows all the time. congratulations. number one, you must be so chuffed. it's been a long time coming, isn't it? it's amazing. i mean, 30 years, which seems to have flown by, to be honest with you. 30 years. but yes, incredible scenes in shed world, to finally get number one after all this time is pretty amazing. # are you going for gold?

not only have you got a number one, but you've also made the history books for the band to have the biggest gap between debut and number one album. yeah, which makes me feel really old. but if there's any records to be broken, i'll try my hardest to do it. we found out that we outsold the entire top ten last week on physical product, which is amazing. so much has changed since the 90s, especially in the music industry, but people are still buying physical copies, aren't they? what do you think that's down to? it's old school. it's what we grew up doing. you'd cycle to red rhino records in york and you'd sift through the 12 inch singles, you know, looking for what you've come for and discover other things that you might never have heard of. i think the younger generation are kind of getting their head around that now, and long may that continue because just to hold something in your hands is a very special thing. so we spent a couple of weeks traveling around, visiting record stores, playing some acoustic performances in a small record

store, queues around the block for people waiting to come and get this signed, which has been incredible, and it'sjust nice to be involved rather than just being at home. but it is very tiring because we're not getting any younger. you were partying all day and night like the 90s? well, i tried. and after about day three, i gave up. your favourite moments from past three decades? well, i think at the beginning it was all really exciting because it was so new. and we're young kids and we're suddenly being told, yes, you can go on top of the pops and then you suddenly remembering hearing yourself being played on radio one for the first time. so they were always really buzz moments for us. i think we just take pride in the fact that we've not veered off course. we're still the same hand we ever were. we're just a little bit older and a little bit wiser. a lot of things, exciting things happening this year, which will roll on into next year and the year after.

so i guess if you're a fan of shed seven and buckle up and if you're not particularly a fan of us, hide behind a big rock. how do you celebrate a number one after 30 years? i don't know. i'll have to come back to you on that because i've never done it before. so i will find ways of celebrating. i've not really got around to being able to do it as yet. i'm hoping it's in '90 style. if it's in '90 style, i won't remember it. enjoy the moment. congratulations, rick. thank you very much. that was shed seven's rick witter talking to amy garcia. you think it has been called to? but it is colder somewhere else. for a start? this is milwaukee in the northern us, much of the northern us and canada in the grip of an object outbreak of cold air, temperature is low enough, —30, —40 degrees. even kentucky further south dropped down

to -29, i kentucky further south dropped down to —29, i slows there on lake michigan and tonight florida, widespread frost in the north, temperatures as low as —10 in terms of winchell and it's notjust about the ice, it's about the snow, this was philadelphia yesterday, big blanket of snow, snow for quite widely across the north—east of the us. if you are asking yourself why are you showing us this, there is a reason because the weather system that brought the snow to philadelphia will have a massive impact on our weather tomorrow. not in terms of snow but in terms of wind and rain. it is here and has been moving from the us, winding itself up, and that is a new name storm, impacting us. at the time being the tardis in place to bring us a different day to day. we have some breaks in the cloud towards the south—east and the channel islands, some spells of sunshine, sunshine breaking through the north—east of scotland but elsewhere, plenty of

cloud and rain. the rain across parts of north—west england and north wales is relentless but it isn'tjust north wales is relentless but it isn't just a touch north wales is relentless but it isn'tjust a touch into the afternoon. temperatures well up in recent days, ten or 11 in the west, quite a wet night, heavy rain for a time spreading east across all parts during the early hours but clearing into sunday morning. once the clearer weather comes in temperatures drop again, some sheltered parts of northern ireland the —— scotland, there should be a rusty start to sunday and then it will become a wild and windy day, especially later. the storm will arrive, whence strengthening throughout but through the night and into monday, widespread severe gales, worse in the west and disruption are likely but the day begins quietly. central and eastern parts are dry and bright with sunshine but cloud increasing, rain becomes persistent in central and southern scotland and eventually into parts of northern england and

wales again. the south and east should stay dry —— quite high. once reaching a quite quickly and strengthening further through the evening and into the night under the speu evening and into the night under the spell of weather comes into monday morning, the storm passing to the north, strong ones to the southern edge with outbreaks of rain across all parts throughout the night but we expect the greatest impact at the moment, the met office and book burning areas throughout sunday night and into monday, whence the highest at 80 miles an hour, the alyeska change so keep across the forecast but with strong winds through the night and into monday there will be travel in packs for there will be travel in packs for the monday morning rush hour especially across the north and west platform in the itself, blustery with a mixture of sunshine and showers, shower is heavy and frequent and a little bit wintering over the higher ground of scotland but overall the culture we have had has finished but stormy weather is
