6:03 am
this tree fell onto tracks in north lanarkshire. scotrail has cancelled all its rush—hour trains this morning. extreme weather conditions brought about by storm isha means that it wouldn't be safe to run passenger trains. that's in the interest of passengers and staff. services won't start up until later in the day because we've got to check every track and every route to make sure it's safe. and network rail has imposed 50—mile—per—hour speed restrictions across many routes. in the air, travel is proving tricky. conditions stop some planes landing at heathrow. ohhh! she's up, she's down, she's gone! this shows planes at gatwick making numerous attempts to land, and other flights diverted to airports far from their intended destinations. more than 100 flights were cancelled at dublin airport yesterday. people are being warned to be particularly careful near coastal areas because of flying debris.
6:04 am
weather conditions are expected to quieten down, and then get ready for more bad weather to come later in the week. aruna iyengar, bbc news. emergency services in cumbria said last night they were on standby for a major incident, with a number of flood warnings and alerts issued across the county after heavy rainfall. there's also been disruption to travel. in a moment, we'll speak to our correspondent sean dilley, who is at euston station — but first let's get the latest with our reporter yunus mulla from appleby—in—westmorland. morning. morning. i am in the market town of appleby. _ morning. morning. i am in the market town of appleby. you _ morning. morning. i am in the market town of appleby, you can _ morning. morning. i am in the market town of appleby, you can see - morning. morning. i am in the market town of appleby, you can see the - town of appleby, you can see the river eden, it is swollen and that has led to flooding. last night there were sirens here when the environment agency said it was focusing its efforts on this
6:05 am
particular area. there were concerns over the impact storm isha was having. a number of people act out here leaving sandbags outside their property to try to do something about the river overflowing. the road has been closed and there is disruption driving. disruption driving road has been closed and there is disruption driving here, a number of minor routes still have trees lining the road and that has made it difficult using the road around here but also you have power cuts, as well. electricity north west have said around 8000 homes in the north—west have been affected by storm isha. they will be doing their best to try to restore those supplies to those homes. some of that can be done remotely but also engineers will have to visit a number of properties in a number of areas. we are likely to see this disruption continue. you can see it is still raining so there are a number of flood warnings in place across england and wales but there will be people driving to work or
6:06 am
driving using those roads and they are being advised to exercise extra caution. . storm isha brought severe disruption to travel, with delays for rail, air and sea travellers that is continuing into this morning. sean dilley is at euston this morning. ican i can see how wet it is. what is the situation? �* , ., ~ i can see how wet it is. what is the situation? �*, ., ~ ., situation? let's talk about the weather. situation? let's talk about the weather- it — situation? let's talk about the weather. it is _ situation? let's talk about the weather. it is nothing - situation? let's talk about the weather. it is nothing like - situation? let's talk about the weather. it is nothing like as i situation? let's talk about the i weather. it is nothing like as cold or windy as it was last night, but it is very important that people check travel wherever they are because there are a total of 85 flood warnings in place across the uk, the majority of those, 50, are in scotland. just taking a look at the situation on the trains. from 7pm last night all scot rail trains, all trains in scotland, were cancelled, not expected to resume at least until after the rush hour. in
6:07 am
england there are advised to check before you travel anywhere. disruption out to gatwick airport is one example. there are speed restrictions of 50 mph in various places, so the advice is to check travel and because the rail is disrupted the roads will be busy and in scotland the m9 had closures, the weather one is coming to an end. we like to travel who complain about rail disruption of the year round but spare a thought for the engineers clearing trees off damage lines and with flood warnings that there will be an awful lot of engineers standing by to try to get the rail infrastructure waiting. the key infrastructure is check your apps, check online before you travel. . . apps, check online before you travel. ., . ,, ., apps, check online before you travel. . . ,, ., . travel. good advice, sean. we will no back travel. good advice, sean. we will go back to — travel. good advice, sean. we will go back to sean — travel. good advice, sean. we will go back to sean and _ travel. good advice, sean. we will go back to sean and yunus - travel. good advice, sean. we will| go back to sean and yunus through the morning and it will only be clear the impact of this story as we
6:08 am
go through the programme. if you have been affected, get in touch. tell us who you are and where you are so we can build up a picture. sally has more of the news today. another royal health story. the duchess of york, sarah ferguson, has been diagnosed with skin cancer. doctors found a malignant melanoma after several moles were removed during her treatment for breast cancer last year — but her spokesperson the 64—year old was in "good spirits". 0ur royal correspondent daniella relph reports. sarah, duchess of york was last seen in public with the royal family on christmas day, when she went to church on the sandringham estate. it was the first time she had been here alongside of the royals in more than 20 years. her appearance with the royal family came after a difficult few months. the duchess was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine screening. during her subsequent treatment, doctors decided to remove a number of moles. one was found to be cancerous. they discovered
6:09 am
a malignant melanoma. in a statement a spokesperson for the duchess of york said... the duchess has also praised the vigilance of doctors in detecting the problem. news of her condition comes after a challenging few days for the royal family. the princess of wales remains in hospital in london, recovering after undergoing abdominal surgery. and the king will be treated for an enlarged prostate this week. he is expected to be admitted to hospital for an overnight stay in the coming days. daniela relph, bbc news. headteachers in england will start being contacted about new inspections at their schools from today. changes are being brought in by the schools inspector, 0fsted, after an inspection was found to have contributed
6:10 am
to the suicide of primary head teacher ruth perry last year. here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. is it possible you could come and speak to the parent, please? the phone rings all day at most schools, but today the inspectors will start calling, warning some headteachers they'll get a routine inspection visit tomorrow. 0fsted is making changes to rebuild trust with schools. we have to remember that the most commonly used word by our members when describing their inspection experience is "brutal". so there's a long way to go and our members will still be nervous, but these are positive first steps. so we're going to welcome them, but we're going to have a healthy level of suspicion, as well, at the same time, until we see the actions that prove the intent. an inspection at caversham primary school contributed to the suicide of headteacher ruth perry. speaking to us for our documentary, ruth's sister told us why change was needed. ruth said that that first meeting — she said she felt...
6:11 am
it was just absolutely relentless. she couldn't. .. it felt like her head wasn't working properly. she was just in a complete state. she kept repeating this, saying, "i'm devastated, i'm broken, i'm traumatised." so inspectors have had some mental—health training. schools can raise concerns. a request can be made to pause an inspection. if a head teacher is very distressed, inspectors will leave, and return — the next day, or up to five days later, when support is in place. these changes are driven by the new chief inspector, who says this is just the beginning. parents will be asked for their views later this spring. 0fsted says a tragedy like the death of ruth perry should never happen again. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. a post—mortem has revealed that two
6:12 am
adults in a family of four found dead in a house in norfolk both died from stab wounds to the neck. detectives have confirmed they're not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. post—mortems on the two girls will take place on wednesday. the governor of florida, ron desantis, has dropped out of the race for the republican presidential nomination and endorsed donald trump. in a video posted on social media, mr desantis said he did not have "a clear path to victory". it means the former un ambassador nikki haley is now mr trump's only major rival. the broadcasting regulator 0fcom is to be given more power to regulate the bbc�*s online content, including its news website. it's one of a number of changes which the government says will give audiences greater confidence that the bbc is being held to account. the bbc said it remained "the number one source for trusted news". israel's prime minister has rejected conditions set out by hamas, which the uk regards as a terrorist organisation, for the release of israeli hostages taken
6:13 am
during its attack in october. benjamin netanyahu said accepting the terms would mean israel's security couldn't be guaranteed. more than 25,000 people have been killed in gaza since israel's offensive began. more than a0 mps 7 including several former conservative ministers 7 have written to rishi sunak urging him to provide extra funding for local councils in england — in order to prevent major cuts to services from april. 0ur political correspondent hannah miller reports. trying to keep upright. arthur's heading home from a trip to the clinic, on a door—to—door minibus for people who don't have a car or bus service they can use. how are you doing? 0k. i've got a clean bill of health today for my legs. but this is one of the services due to lose its funding under plans announced by hampshire county council,
6:14 am
which says it needs to make tough decisions to cut costs by £132 million by april next year. i'm terrified that it's going to be cut. ifound it, and it'sjust so good. it's brilliant — i mean, two steps down right outside my door, you know? it's just amazing. and i'd been struggling. without council subsidies, the charity behind the scheme says it will have to run fewer services. these aren't commercial services, these are services helping vulnerable people to do things which otherwise they'd find really difficult and just not be able to afford to do themselves. if older people's mental health is worsened, if their physical health is worsened by not being able to get out and about, we're storing up problems for our overstretched nhs and social care. if children and young people can't access employment and training, we're storing up, again, young people's mental—health problems and physical—health problems. so we're not solving a problem, we're creating more with short—term views on saving funds. today, more than a0 conservative mps
6:15 am
have written to the prime minister saying they're disappointed that extra money for councils hasn't been announced in recent months. they say they're exceptionally concerned that people will be hit by both service reductions and higher council tax. unless more cash is announced, they suggest they can't guarantee to support the government when council funding is voted on in parliament next month. in hampshire, this art centre is one of the places likely here, it also means cutting all funding for homelessness support services — which the council itself admits could lead to the closure of some supported accommodation, and a possible increase in homelessness. we provide the psychotherapy, the counselling, tenancy training, cookery — you name it, we do it. so, i mean, hopefully the work we do is longer term. do you worry, when you see the proposed funding cuts, the government says that the funding package it's announced for councils amounts to a real—terms increase —
6:16 am
adding that it's ready to talk to any that are concerned about their finances. but councils and mps warn the strain on them is mounting like never before, and they want the government to feel the pressure, as well. hannah miller, bbc news. we have got to talk to carol because she is going to tell us about the after—effects of storm isha and some astonishingly high winds overnight. that's right. good morning. storm isha is the worst storm we have had of this storm season, which starts on the 1st of september. for parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england, we have had the highest gusts we've seen for ten to 12 years and for some parts as long ago as 20 years. this gives you an idea of the wind gusts we have had.
6:17 am
we have had a lot of high winds. it is likely to lead to further disruption as we have been hearing today. a lot of trains cancelled, there will be disruption on the roads, some trees down. find out what is happening where you are on your local radio station, online and i will keep you posted here on the programme. storm isha now pulling away into the norwegian sea but look at the isobars in its wake. they are still tightly packed, it will be a windy day. not as windy as yesterday. blustery, gales in the north and west with exposure and a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of the showers in the hills in scotland will be wintry but elsewhere we could see some hail and hear some thunder. temperatures six to 11 degrees north to south. a bit chilly at yesterday. as we head through the evening and overnight, a lot of the showers fade. there will be frost, ice around, and the next deep area of low pressure comes our
6:18 am
way, introducing figure cloud and heavy rain and strong winds for tomorrow. but not as impactful as storm isha. tomorrow. but not as impactful as storm isha-— we will be back with carol through the programme with the latest. today marks exactly three weeks since the itv drama mr bates vs the post office was broadcast for the first time. since then, we've seen an outpouring of public anger and heard the desperate stories of people who were failed by the system and had their lives destroyed. this week the post office inquiry continues and over the next few days it will be examining the criminal prosecutions that took place in scotland and northern ireland. but questions are also being asked by campaigners caught up in other scandals, who are wondering how and when they will get the justice or the compensation they feel they deserve. so, over the coming weeks we'll be taking another look at some of those stories. and we start this morning with the windrush scandal.
6:19 am
like the post office workers, victims say their lives were devastated and, years later, they feel their concerns still haven't been heard. our community affairs correspondent ashitha nagesh has the story so far. newsreel: citizens of. the british empire coming to the mother country with good intent. - when this footage was filmed, the name windrush symbolised hope, but 70 years later it became synonymous with injustice. when the empire windrush docked in tilbury in 1948, it brought over 1,000 people to the uk — mostly from the caribbean. why have you come to england? to seek a job. they helped rebuild britain's economy in the wake of the second world war. it's here at brixton's, . granville arcade that our caribbean market flourishes. those who arrived from former or current british colonies between then and 1973 became known as the windrush generation — and in the early �*70s they were given the permanent right to live here.
6:20 am
but in 2018, it emerged that many hadn't been given proof of those rights. without being able to prove their status, people were wrongly denied work and housing, detained in immigration centres, and deported. the home secretary at the time, amber rudd, gave this apology to victims. i've set out urgent measures to help the windrush generation document their rights, how this government intends to offer them greater rights than they currently enjoy, how we will compensate people for the hardship they have endured, and the steps i'll be taking to ensure that this never happens again. within a week, she had resigned. the home office launched a compensation scheme in 2019, but it has been plagued with complaints of complex applications, lengthy waits and unfair decisions. more than 7,500 people have applied for compensation so far. over 1,500 are still waiting for a decision.
6:21 am
106 have been waiting for over a year and a half. 53 people have died while waiting. there are growing calls for the scheme to be run by someone other than the home office. the home office says it's paid more than £75 million to victims, and that it's making improvements so people can receive as much compensation as quickly as possible. # london is the place for me... the windrush scandal was a betrayal of a generation that gave so much to this country. though it's been six years since it came to light, the work to right those wrongs is far from over. # i am glad to know my mother country. ashitha nagesh, bbc news. at 8:15 we'll be speaking with two people who had their lives turned upside down by the windrush scandal, and hear from a former home office advisor who helped design
6:22 am
the compensation scheme for victims. let's take a look at some of today's papers. most of them feature the duchess of york's skin cancer diagnosis on theirfront page. the sun calls it a "new battle", which comes after she underwent treatment for breast cancer last year. the times leads on what it calls a "crisis" in rishi sunak�*s expansion of free childcare in england — which is reportedly in jeopardy because of delays in allocating funding, staff shortages and it difficulties. the daily mail leads on analysis from the british heart foundation, which suggests early deaths from heart disease in england have hit their highest level in more than a decade. and the guardian says modern slavery in the social care sector is surging after ministers relaxed immigration rules to fill thousands of vacancies.
6:23 am
its lead story cites unpublished figures from an anti—slavery charity that show at least 800 potential cases last year. we mentioned the duchess of york, cerro ferguson, and her health scare. we also in the last we have talked about the princess of is and also king charles. king charles will undergo treatment this week for an enlarged prostate — and the announcement by buckingham palace has caused a surge in interest about the condition. the charity prostate cancer uk says the king's transparency about what is a benign and common condition has encouraged other men to get checked. we are joined now by chief executive of the charity, laura kerby. morning, great to see it. the main thing we need to say right now is the condition we are talking about that relate to the king is benign and very common. but it has caused
6:24 am
more men to think about their own health and maybe get checked. how do you know that and what has been happening? irate you know that and what has been happening?— happening? we are incredibly . rateful happening? we are incredibly grateful for — happening? we are incredibly grateful for king _ happening? we are incredibly grateful for king charles - happening? we are incredibly grateful for king charles to i happening? we are incredibly i grateful for king charles to talk happening? we are incredibly - grateful for king charles to talk so openly about prostate health. enlarged prostate is a very common condition. it is not cancer and he has no risk of cancer, that is important to say. we have seen a surge in activity on our website. our website page about enlarged prostate, we have seen a 500% increase in people visiting that page to get information and find out more about enlarged prostate but also from a prostate cancer perspective we have also seen our risk checker on the prostate cancer uk website increase double, double the amount of people coming to the website to check their risk, which is really important. we are incredibly grateful for king giles bringing the opportunity to raise

6:28 am
travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'mjim wheble. storm isha has been battering the country overnight, with heavy rain and strong winds. this was the moment a plane aborted its landing at heathrow yesterday afternoon in windy conditions. at euston, avanti west coast stopped services just after 6pm yesterday. and the southbound dartford bridge crossing was closed due to high winds. a yellow warning for wind remains in place for london and surrounding areas. veterans living in supported accommodation next to stamford bridge stadium say they fear being left homeless, with chelsea football club set to buy the site. dozens of residents like guy could be evicted. the charity stoll, which owns the building, provides accommodation for vulnerable veterans. but it says it needs to sell in order to acquire higher quality properties and ensure financial stability for the organisation.
6:29 am
it says no veterans will be left homeless. there's never been any clarity, and that's all we've ever asked. you know, we're ex—military. don't treat us like children, you know, treat us like adults. the thing that worries me most is the fact of becoming homeless. and the detrimental effect it might have on my mental health issues, as many of the residents in here suffer. from today, thousands of people with inherited blood disorders will have access to a genetic test to better match their blood transfusions and reduce side effects. the nhs is the first health care system in the world to provide the test for patients living with sickle cell disorder and thalassemia. health professionals believe it will help find the best compatible blood for use in life—saving transfusions, and are urging people to take the test if they're offered it. let's take a look at the tubes now, and there's few issues.
6:30 am
now onto the weather with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. it's been a lively night with those very strong winds. not as windy out there today, but still blustery. so we do have a warning in force valid until midday today. we're looking at gusts of 40 to 45 mph. storm isha pulling away. sunny spells, scattered showers, some heavy through the day, and further wet and windy conditions, through the day on tuesday. any lingering rain this morning across the far south—east clearing. the rest of the day there will be decent sunny spells around, a scattering of showers, one or two falling on the heavy side. highs of 11 celsius. this evening those showers will eventually clear. so through the rest of the night fairly settled conditions. largely dry, clear skies, and those winds following later. temperatures down to four or five in celsius. then further wet and windy conditions to come through the day on tuesday.
6:31 am
milder too, with highs of around 14 in celsius. that's it for now. check out the website though for a pretty inspiring story about a 13—year—old blind boy whose piano playing skills are lifting the mood for those visiting the royal london hospital, i'll be back in half an hour. but for now, it's back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's return to our top story. storm isha, which swept across the uk yesterday and overnight, is continuing to cause major disruption, and travel has been severely impacted. let's get a sense of what the impact it should be. we are joined from euston station in london by travel journalist simon calder. good
6:32 am
morning. shall we start with the trains? everything is looking across the uk? , , ., the uk? very good question. if you are in scotland _ the uk? very good question. if you are in scotland there _ the uk? very good question. if you are in scotland there will _ the uk? very good question. if you are in scotland there will not - the uk? very good question. if you are in scotland there will not be i are in scotland there will not be any trains at all until the end of the rush hour. that is because after the rush hour. that is because after the very severe weather overnight a scot rail network rail are going to be running the trains to check there is no debris on the tracks. that has an impact with people who are taking anglo scottish trains because the departures from edinburgh and glasgow to here at euston, and also to london kings cross, have been cancelled, along with trains, for instance, to manchester airport. elsewhere, things not looking too bad. we have got the linefrom crew to derby closed because of flooding. the biggest problem is going to be here in the south—east on the linefrom might gatwick airport to croydon. that is crucially the link,
6:33 am
the main brighton to london to gatwick line. that is closed because of overrunning engineering works. that is going to cause a lot of disruption to commuters hoping to get the second busiest airport in the uk. wherever you are going, be prepared forjourneys to take longer. lots of speed restrictions are in place. and if you have got a ticket for today, and you don't fancy getting caught up in any more chaos after yesterday, then many train operators are saying you can actually usually take it tomorrow. 0k, simon. whatabout actually usually take it tomorrow. 0k, simon. what about the airports. ——? staggering stories about people being diverted all over the place because their planes could not land? very true. there are thousands of thousands of people waking up this morning where they didn't expect to be. many of those will be people whose flights we re were simply cancelled. we saw well
6:34 am
over 100 of those yesterday in heathrow alone. however, there were also some extraordinary divergings. for example, manchester to dublin normally takes half an hour. it couldn't land in dublin and was diverted to a small town in northern france. the thing is that ryanair insists all passengers crossing the irish sea have passports, even though the law doesn't. so therefore they were allowed to get out of the airport and into hotels. unlikely passengers on easyjet flight 309. took off yesterday afternoon shortly after 4pm from edinburgh, simply going to bristol, a one—hour hopper. it flew around over the river severn for about half an hour, then diverted to paris charles de gaulle. 0f diverted to paris charles de gaulle. of course for a domestic flight you do not need a passport, and so loads of passengers are in it simply sent me night at the terminal. they are not allowed into france without id.
6:35 am
some of them did had their passports or eu national id cards, so could get to a hotel, but the rest are waiting until some plane can take them presumably to bristol or edinburgh. we have got lots of cancellations today. worst hit is heathrow. lots of early flights to places such as istanbul, frankfurt, amsterdam, halifax and canada cancelled, because the planes couldn't get in yesterday. british airways calculates 22 cancellations in and out of heathrow today. and on top of that there are 16 cancellations at london city airport, which had a dreadful time yesterday as well. actually, most of the other airports looking 0k, apart from the scottish ones, where there were lots of problems yesterday. edinburgh and glasgow. if you are flying on loganair, the airline says a couple of cancellations from 0rkney to edinburgh and to aberdeen, and you will be able to postpone yourjury if you are booked today,

6:37 am
darwin nunes and diego giotto. 0ne star player goes and two others standing and deputise quite brilliantly. that gives them a big advantage in the title race. i think jurgen klopp will be pleased. good morning. no star striker, no problem for liverpool, who still scored four to brush aside bournemouth. darwin nunez got their first, sweeping home a great team move. he would finish with two goals, as did diogojota, who also scored two. a touch of fortune about his second, miscuing his first effort, but it fell kindly too him second time round. and while i'm sure the bournemouth fans saw the funny side initially, the only person laughing at the end wasjurgen klopp as liverpool take control in the title race. it's a tough moment but in the moment we have some solutions. but
6:38 am
now nothing should happen any more. the boys should come back step—by—step. we play in three days, then three days later, then three days later, then three later. toys cup games, semifinal cup game, then chelsea and arsenal. so we better be good, otherwise we have a problem. how about this? a red card in the 93rd minute, another in the 97th minute, and then an equalising penalty in the 103rd minute. it all happened in the final few moments of sheffield united's game with west ham, the penalty coming when the west ham keeper alphonse areola injured himself while fouling 0li mcburnie in the penalty area. 0n came sub lukasz fabianski. the first thing he had to do was face a penalty. mcburnie getting up to score the spot kick to salvage a point for sheffield united in that 2—2 draw. we were following the cup adventure of highland league side buckie thistle closely here on breakfast last week, after that dream draw
6:39 am
with scottish vhampions celtic. but their scottish cup adventure is over after they were well beaten by holders yesterday. the fifth—tier side from the north east of scotland were cheered on by around 2,500 travelling fans for what was a special day out at celtic park. celtic though proved too strong, ending up 5—0 winners. worth keeping an eye on fourth tier bonnyrigg rose in the next round, who face aberdeen in the last 16. the full draw is on the bbc sport website. after scoring a hat—trick for chelsea, laurenjames reflected on the online abuse she has received before the winter break. she proved why she remains one of the most exciting players in the top flight. she is the leading scorer in the league, with chelsea chasing a fifth successive title. but after moving three points clear after this win against manchester united, she says she is trying to help the team and silence the critics in what has been
6:40 am
a difficult time for her. she enjoyed it though yesterday. cameron norrie is an action this morning at the australian open. meanwhile, in the women's draw, 19—year—old czech teenager linda noskova, who knocked out world number one iga swiatek in the previous round, is through again. that's after elina svitolina of ukraine retired injured from their last 16 match after only three games. noskova now in the quarterfinals. it was another day and another trophy for ronnie 0'sullivan. the rocket was 4—0 and 6—3 down against judd trump at the world grand prix in leicester. he reeled off six frames, eventually winning10—70 follow so it's his masters win last weekend. i don't know what rory mcilroy is going to do with his trophy when you consider it is almost the same size as he is. he has got four of these. another dubai desert classic as he came from behind to win after some brilliant porting. nobody
6:41 am
has ever claimed it four times. probably because i don't fancy taking it home with them to be honest. he kicked off the season in style with that impressive win. ijust style with that impressive win. i just have a style with that impressive win. ijust have a really good feeling when i come back to dubai. so that helps me stay relaxed and played some good golf. and, yeah, you know, i had to hold it together on the back nine they are today. it was very tricky. wasn't really thinking about trying to get my name on there for the fourth time, just trying to win a golf tournament, thankfully i hit enough good shots coming down the stretch to make that happen. this week, test match cricket resumes when england's men begin a series in india. but back here, deep questions remain about cricket's culture. a landmark report last summer demanded urgent reform after finding varied types of discrimination were widespread and deep rooted. birmingham boasts one of the best cricket facilities in britain. joe wilson went to watch some of the next generation.
6:42 am
a winter's night at edgbaston seeking inspiration. cricket is sexist, racist, elitist. so concluded last summer's equity report here. those words were welcomed, because the consequences must be positive. if we use the national game of football, if we use that as an example, it's played every day in every school, up and down the country. and no other sport can say that. people that have never played cricket before, or people who are currently playing cricket, let's understand them better. we want to develop players. every contact we have, we want to develop players, notjust observe them and judge them. that's the idea of these age group pathway squads. rather than being recommended by an established school, players can now get in by other means. i got here through a video trial process. i was sent here by my club. we sent some videos of me bowling.
6:43 am
these guys invited me over here for the winter, and then luckily, they let me stay. do you think it's easier to become a cricketer in england if you're white, if you go to a posh school? what are your feelings about that? m not reauy — because i mean, for my age group, there has been a lot of diversity, so there's been a lot _ of asian people as well, j as well as white people. now, i know there's been a lot of speculation. - probably in some areas - it probably is easier for maybe people who are of that - background, like you said. but i think it's pretty. much almost the same. warwickshire say 70% of their young players attend state schools, and the biggest growth in interest is among girls. i think boys' cricket is very competitive, but girls is also very competitive. it's really important that girls get a chance too. just because boys might be a little bit stronger, it doesn't mean that girls shouldn't get a chance to play cricket. and really, no report could put it more succinctly. joe wilson, bbc news, edgbaston.
6:44 am
interesting to hear from some of the rising stars of cricket. i guess it is that thing, equal opportunities for all and creating those pathways that don't necessarily come through school but within the wider community as well. back to you guys. thank you. a lot of you getting in touch with various weather disruption, travel disruption. philand various weather disruption, travel disruption. phil and tracy have got in touch. morning. they went to newquay airport in cornwall yesterday afternoon to fly to faro in portugalfor a yesterday afternoon to fly to faro in portugal for a few days. the plane couldn't take off. they have had to go to stansted. they had to get a minibus from cornwall to london stansted. they are now hoping they can head off to portugal later today. everybody seems to be in the wrong place this morning. at the wrong place this morning. at the wrong time. i think we need to be more patient because later today things may clear a little bit. if you are travelling, there is some
6:45 am
good news if you're hoping for an easierjourney through good news if you're hoping for an easier journey through security. well, there was going to be. we were hearing about smoother runs and security changing. some of the uk's biggest airports are said to miss out on a second i'd like to install those advanced security scanners we have heard about. nina can tell us more. not happening for now? not for everyone. we area we are a bit fed up, aren't we? what about bill and tracey at stansted? sta nsted ? give stansted? give them some good news. it will depend where they are. we are fed up with those tiny toiletries. all of the fat. it was set to enter. that is not happened everywhere just yet. it was back in 2019 that the government announced these scanners would be rolled out across the uk by december 2022. but a global pandemic hit, things ground to a halt,
6:46 am
and the deadline was missed. so then a new deadline — new scanners in airports byjune 2024. some are up and running — you may have noticed for example at teesside and city — but the uk's biggest airports have told the bbc they're not there yet. gatwick and manchester airports insist they've made a lot of progress, but won't have the all—new scanners in place until 2025. and britain's biggest airport, heathrow, has some in place, but say they can't guarantee they'll all be in place byjune. so why not, and how might it afffect your summer hols? katy austin explains. since 2006, getting ready for a flight has meant checking you comply with strict rules around liquids in your hand luggage. at the moment, any liquids you take through airport security have to be in containers of no more than 100 millilitres, and they have to go inside a clear plastic bag.
6:47 am
new hi—tech ct scanners should mean the end of those rules. they're already used in some other countries and at some airports in the uk. travellers we spoke to were keen for the requirements to change. it's just a faff, isn't it? because you have to kind of think about what you're taking and then you forget to do something and it's your most favourite expensive perfume, and then you have to leave it at security and then go and buy it again when you get to the other side. has that happened to you? yes, a few times. yeah, for me, it's easy to remember because i'm used to it. but when i travel and when i go, when i see like people around me all the time, they don't necessarily know that there is this rule. the government set the 1st ofjune this year for all major airports to finish installing the new equipment, but some will miss that deadline. gatwick and manchester airports insist they've made a lot of progress, but won't have the new scanners in place at all security lanes until next year. britain's biggest airport, heathrow, also can't guarantee finishing the job byjune. in many cases, getting them in has been challenging.
6:48 am
they're very heavy. sometimes the flaws in the actual terminal have to be reinforced. the cost is really high for these particular scanners. it's the latest technology. there are supply chain issues in being able to source the correct parts and get those functioning properly. and also, airports have to retrain their staff. the upshot is that instead of the liquids rules being completely eased in time for the summer holidays, it's likely to be a mixed picture. we're now going to go into a situation where different airports have different rules. so at some places you will need to get the liquids out in advance. in others you won't. and that has the potential to create further confusion and create further delays. you only need a couple of passengers to not be prepared to end up having to wait an extra ten, 20, 30 minutes. the department for transport said it was in regular contact with airports. it may consider extending the deadline where it thinks it's appropriate, but isn't
6:49 am
ruling out imposing penalties. if you are travelling this summer, even if the airport you're leaving from has eased its liquid rules, the one you come home from may not have. so, do check. new scanners should eventually make the airportjourney much smoother, but there could be some turbulence along the way. katy austin, bbc news. let's stick with the positives! very exciting that we will be swiftly cruising through security again — and end to those queues and tuts at fellow passengers. but it could be a while before every airport lane is set, and in the meantime, there's the danger that the inconsistencies cause even more confusion and delay. you, sally, flew out of teesside, where they have scrapped those rules. but you would be forgiven for turning up at manchester and thinking, i don't need my 100 millilitres. everybody toting at you. it happens
6:50 am
all the time! i can't wait until the day when we don't have to have those plastic bags with toiletries. sounds like that they may be a little further ahead than we thought and planned though. it is 26. seven. it is ten to seven. good job carol knows what is going on. she has got some very important weather forecasting to do today. good morning. this morning it still is pretty windy. the winds will slowly ease as we go through the day. some have had the strongest gusts of wind for ten to 12 years and some locally for 20 years. i am talking here about scotland, northern ireland and northern england. you can see northumberland with a gust of 99 miles per hour. edinburgh 74 mph. not surprising there is a lot of disruption around. it will slowly start to ease as we
6:51 am
go through the course of the day. it still is going to be a very windy day with sunshine and blustery showers. the other half of the stories we have seen some heavy rain. a lot of flood warnings in force. the rain clearing but we will continue with a lot of showers in the north and west. 0ne continue with a lot of showers in the north and west. one look at this chart with the isobars tells you it is going to be a windy day wherever you are. we have got gales across the north and the west. blustery showers falling as snow in the mountains of scotland. we could also see some hail and here are some thunder elsewhere in those showers. temperatures eight to 11 degrees. cheerier than yesterday. as we had through this evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will fade. clear skies, the risk of frost and ice in scotland and northern england. the cloud thickens towards the west, heralding the arrival of this next band of rain. these are the overnight temperatures in towns and cities. this band of rain is
6:52 am
courtesy of the next deep area of low pressure coming our way. it comes in from the west are putting eastwards. it will be windy. it will not be as windy as it has been. we are also looking at all this rain piling in as well. during the course of tuesday itself you will find that we will start to see it improve a little bit from the west and it is also going to be a milder day, up to 14 degrees. that eventually pulls away overnight tuesday into wednesday. wednesday it is still windy. we have a ridge of high pressure building in from the west. 0n pressure building in from the west. on wednesday the wind will gradually ease once again. locally we could have 70 mph gusts in the west of scotland. 50 to 60 in central and northern areas. it will eventually ease. the showers becoming confined to the north and west. by the end of the day we will have thicker cloud and drizzly conditions in across the south—west of the country. beyond that, the forecast is very
6:53 am
changeable. at times we will have weather fronts coming in, changeable. at times we will have weatherfronts coming in, bringing in rain and windy conditions. also ridges of high pressure which would bring drier and sorrier conditions. mild by day, but cold and with some of us are seeing some frost by night. thank you. if you regularly watch breakfast, you probably already know hughie and freddie. together the best friends have raised thousands for royal manchester children's hospital, where hughie has been undergoing treatment for leukaemia. when he's not busy raising money with freddie, hughie's a budding actor, and recently landed his dream role in a production of oliver at leeds playhouse. the pair sent us this special report from behind the scenes. hi, everyone! it's hugh and freddie, here. if you watch bbc breakfast a lot, you probably remember us from our fundraising adventures. you just don't stop, do you?! it's so busy in the life of huey and freddie. we've been running around football stadiums up

7:09 am
we are still left with a legacy of disruption. no rush—hour trains, as you said. before they get up and running, every route will have to be checked for trees or other debris on the line. we have seen trees already and even a shed on a train line in glasgow. that could be much later in the day before things get up and running. we have also seen dozens of flights diverted. 0ne flight from tenerife going into edinburgh ended up tenerife going into edinburgh ended up in cologne and also disruption on the roads and ferries so very difficult picture.— the roads and ferries so very difficult picture. thank you. it is so strange _ difficult picture. thank you. it is so strange to — difficult picture. thank you. it is so strange to see _ difficult picture. thank you. it is so strange to see that _ difficult picture. thank you. it is so strange to see that normally| difficult picture. thank you. it is - so strange to see that normally busy station completely empty at rush hour, on a monday morning. we will go back to gillian later and we will hearfrom you if go back to gillian later and we will hear from you if you have go back to gillian later and we will hearfrom you if you have bad weather where you are, if you are impacted let's us know. carol will have the very leather... 0f

7:11 am
a malignant melanoma. in a statement a spokesperson for the duchess of york said... the duchess has also praised the vigilance of her doctors in detecting the problem. news of her condition comes after a challenging few days for the royal family. the princess of wales remains in hospital in london, recovering after undergoing abdominal surgery. and the king will be treated for an enlarged prostate this week. he is expected to be admitted to hospital for an overnight stay in the coming days. daniela relph, bbc news. headteachers in england will start being contacted about new inspections at their schools from today. changes are being brought in by the schools inspector, 0fsted, after an inspection was found to have contributed to the suicide of primary head teacher ruth perry last year. here's our education editor branwen jeffreys.
7:12 am
is it possible you could come and speak to the parent, please? the phone rings all day at most schools, but today the inspectors will start calling, warning some headteachers they'll get a routine inspection visit tomorrow. 0fsted is making changes to rebuild trust with schools. we have to remember that the most commonly used word by our members when describing their inspection experience is "brutal". so there's a long way to go and our members will still be nervous, but these are positive first steps. so we're going to welcome them, but we're going to have a healthy level of suspicion, as well, at the same time, until we see the actions that prove the intent. an inspection at caversham primary school contributed to the suicide of headteacher ruth perry. speaking to us for our documentary, ruth's sister told us why change was needed. ruth said that that first meeting — she said she felt... it was just absolutely relentless.
7:13 am
she couldn't. .. it felt like her head wasn't working properly. she was just in a complete state. she kept repeating this, saying, "i'm devastated, i'm broken, i'm traumatised." so inspectors have had some mental—health training. schools can raise concerns. a request can be made to pause an inspection. if a head teacher is very distressed, inspectors will leave, and return — the next day, or up to five days later, when support is in place. these changes are driven by the new chief inspector, who says this is just the beginning. parents will be asked for their views later this spring. 0fsted says a tragedy like the death of ruth perry should never happen again. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. a post—mortem has revealed that two adults in a family of four found dead in a house in norfolk, both died from stab wounds to the neck.
7:14 am
detectives have confirmed they're not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. post—mortems on the two girls will take place on wednesday. the governor of florida, ron desantis, has dropped out of the race for the republican presidential nomination and endorsed donald trump. in a video posted on social media, mr desantis said he did not have "a clear path to victory". it means the former un ambassador nikki haley is now mr trump's only major rival. the broadcasting regulator 0fcom is to be given more power to regulate the bbc�*s online content, including its news website. it's one of a number of changes, which the government says will give audiences greater confidence that the bbc is being held to account. the bbc said it remained "the number one source for trusted news". israel's prime minister has rejected conditions set out by hamas, which the uk regards as a terrorist organisation, for the release of hostages taken during
7:15 am
its attack in october. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us from jerusalem. what does this mean for the future of any hostage releases?— what does this mean for the future of any hostage releases? well, these are very difficult _ of any hostage releases? well, these are very difficult days _ of any hostage releases? well, these are very difficult days for _ of any hostage releases? well, these are very difficult days for the - are very difficult days for the families of the 100 plus remaining hostages being held in gaza. they held an emotional, emotionally charged rally outside the israeli prime minister's residents last night and we have had reports of a possible renewed hostage deal push by qatar and egypt, keep mediators here. but publicly at the two sides seem very far apart. hamas is saying it demands a complete ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of israeli troops, from gaza, before it lets hostages go home. we have had the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu say last night that accepting such terms would amount to surrender to monsters and he said israel's position is that the
7:16 am
military offensive in gaza must dismantle hamas and that military pressure alone is what will bring the hostages back. that said, there are some senior israeli figures and ex army chiefs of staff now in the war cabinet, several serving military commanders who have been briefing journalists anonymously and they say they believe only a diplomatic deal will bring most of those hostages home alive. you can see there are some really deep internal divisions within israel on that politically.— internal divisions within israel on that politically. thank you, yolande more than 40 mps — including several former conservative ministers — have written to rishi sunak, urging him to provide extra funding for councils in england. the letter warns the prime minister that without emergency cash, many local authorities will be forced to cut crucial services and increase council tax, in an election year. the government says it has announced a £64 billion funding package for councils. right, we really need to check in
7:17 am
with carol because there is some scary weather around and some extraordinary numbers recorded. wind gusts particularly high in parts of northumberland, a gust of 99 mph was recorded by the met office. it has led to disruption. in office. it has led to disruption. in northern ireland, trees down. if you are travelling bear this in mind this morning. you might find a lot of the breeze and branches of trees, even whole trees which have been operated. —— a lot of the breeze the breeze lots of areas of south—east under an amber weather warning. they have expired and there are yellow weather weddings in force. storm isha is pulling away into the norwegian sea. these are the most recent gusts of wind. it still is very windy. you can telljust by
7:18 am
looking at the isobars. as we go through today you will find that slowly the winds will start to moderate. we still have gales for a time across the north and west. rain clearing from the south—east and a packet of showers, some of which, in the mountains of scotland, will be wintry. at lower levels anywhere we could see hail and thunder. temperatures seven to 11 and cooler than yesterday. into the evening and overnight showers or fade and on the clearest skies it will be cold night and a frosty night across parts of scotland and northern england. the cloud will thicken towards the west, heralding the arrival of this next band of rain. another important area of low pressure which will come in from the west, pushing east. some transient snow in the hills in scotland and it will be very windy. we don't expect this to be as impactful as storm isha has been and continues to be. if anything on tuesday, a bit milder, six in the
7:19 am
north to 14 as we push down to the south. that pulls wagering wednesday, a ridge of high pressure builds in commerce of high pressure builds in commerce of high pressure builds in, so things will settle down, winds will ease. beyond that, it remains changeable. what down, winds will ease. beyond that, it remains changeable.— it remains changeable. what about the later? the ratings have gone through the roof -- what _ later? the ratings have gone through the roof -- what about _ later? the ratings have gone through the roof -- what about the _ later? the ratings have gone through the roof -- what about the letter? i the roof —— what about the letter? the news is there is not much leather around. let's move on, shall we? schools in england that are in urgent need of repair say they're struggling to keep children warm in buildings that are "not fit for purpose". at one primary school in devon, temperatures are so low that children have to keep their gloves and coats on during lessons. the department for education says
7:20 am
the safety of pupils and staff is paramount. bbc panorama's rahil sheikh reports. this is st peter's primary school in devon. morning, morning, morning, you all right? these are our sheds. i call these affectionately our sheds because that's really what they are. they were temporary accommodation that's been here for a long time. they're older than i am! these modular buildings were added in the 19605 to save money when the school expanded. they've never been replaced. temperatures inside have dropped to below seven degrees celsius. workplace regulations say classrooms should be at least 16 degrees. i'm really cold. i have to wear gloves and it's really hard to use a pencil or a pen when you've got your gloves on. so there are more than 10,000 temporary classrooms just like this in england alone — many of them are facing serious structural defects. according to government figures, the average primary school
7:21 am
in england needs an estimated £300,000 worth of maintenance or upgrades, while for the average secondary it's £1.5 million. last year, 276 schools in the uk had to be partially closed because they'd been built with a dangerous, crumbling concrete known as raac. experts say that's only part of the problem. professor chris goodyear says we're living with the consequences of deep cuts to school maintenance. we could talk about austerity and recession and the pressure on the economy over the last few decades. we only have a finite amount of money, and if you try and save money on that and don't spend enough, it's a false economy because you end up saving maybe a pound today, but you'll spend £5 next year or in ten years because you've fallen further behind on that maintenance. and the big worry is, obviously, these buildings have children in, and the more poor these buildings become, you are increasing the risk of a collapse, a fatality,
7:22 am
of someone getting hurt. the department for education says, in england, it's allocated £15 billion of capital funding since 2015 — including nearly £2 billion committed this year for essential maintenance and improvements. in 2021, the government graded every school in england, depending on its condition. the lower the grade, the greater the school's priority forfunding. and the farcical situation is that we are considered a grade a—rated school, which means we're the highest condition band — as in we're the best—kept school — even though we have three classrooms that are just sheds that are just not fit for purpose. we're never going to qualify for money from school rebuilding. you've had your coat on all day, then? is that normal for you, for you to come in and just keep it on?
7:23 am
yeah. and it's so, so cold, you start shivering. so your writing goes really wobbly when you're actually writing it because our hands are shaking so much, because we're so cold. while they wait for new classrooms, pupils and teachers at st peter's primary are hoping for warmer weather. rahil sheikh, bbc news. we're joined now by steve marsland, headteacher at russell scott primary school in denton. morning, thank you for coming in. you have a busy day ahead, i know. really shocking to hear in that report children who cannot write because their hands are shaking because their hands are shaking because they are so cold. educationally, for some children, this will have an impact but also i imagine on their health. it is scandalous. _ imagine on their health. it is scandalous. to _ imagine on their health. it is scandalous. to learn - imagine on their health. it 3 scandalous. to learn from a tv programme, panorama, the state of our schools. wejust programme, panorama, the state of our schools. we just learnt about the postmasters on a drama. it is just wrong that the public should

7:28 am
i'mjim wheble. storm isha has been battering the country overnight with heavy rain and strong winds. this was the moment a plane aborted its landing at heathrow yesterday afternoon in windy conditions. at euston, avanti west coast stopped services just after 6pm yesterday. and the southbound dartford bridge crossing was closed due to high winds. a yellow warning for wind remains in place for london and surrounding areas. veterans living in supported accommodation next to stamford bridge stadium say they fear being left homeless, with chelsea football club set to buy the site. dozens of residents like guy could be evicted. the charity stoll, which owns the building, provides accommodation for vulnerable veterans. but it says it needs to sell in order to acquire higher quality properties and ensure financial
7:29 am
stability for the organisation. it says no veterans will be left homeless. there's never been any clarity, and that's all we've ever asked. you know, we're ex—military. don't treat us like children, you know, treat us like adults. the thing that worries me most is the fact of becoming homeless. and the detrimental effect it might have on my mental health issues, as many of the residents in here suffer. from today, thousands of people with inherited blood disorders will have access to a genetic test to better match their blood transfusions and reduce side effects. the nhs is the first healthcare system in the world to provide the test for patients living with sickle cell disorder and thalassemia. health professionals believe it will help find the best compatible blood for use in life—saving transfusions and are urging people to take the test if they're offered it. let's take a look at the tubes now.
7:30 am
now onto the weather with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. it's been a lively night with those very strong winds. not as windy out there today, but still blustery. so we do have a warning in force valid until midday today. we're looking at gusts of 40 to 45 mph. storm isha pulling away. sunny spells, scattered showers, some heavy through the day, and further wet and windy conditions, through the day on tuesday. any lingering rain this morning across the far south—east clearing. the rest of the day there will be decent sunny spells around, a scattering of showers, one or two falling on the heavy side. highs of 11 celsius. this evening those showers will eventually clear. so through the rest of the night fairly settled conditions. largely dry, clear skies, and those winds following later. temperatures down to four or five in celsius. then further wet and windy conditions to come through
7:31 am
the day on tuesday. milder too, with highs of around 14 in celsius. that's it for now. check out the website though for a pretty inspiring story about a 13—year—old blind boy whose piano playing skills are lifting hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's return to our top story. disruption from storm isha is continuing across much of the uk. the stormiest night we have seen in decades in some places.— decades in some places. really high winds. yunus mulla is in cumbria, where authorities have been braced for flooding. what is the latest, please? the conditions are slightly better now than they were last night. and in the early hours. residents were putting sandbags outside their homes
7:32 am
and also their properties. that is because the environment agency were concerned about what was about to take place here in appleby. and people were warned. now the river eden is still swollen. but the conditions are not as bad as they were. in fact, the road has reopened in the last hour. the flooding remains a problem elsewhere. as well as fallen trees and debris. transport is an issue. gusts of up to 82 mph were recorded on the m6. they were overturned lorries and recovery work is taking place. disruption continues for motorists. but also, electricity north west say about 8000 homes were affected and are without power. that meant they had to stand down to their group ??euros because
7:33 am
meant they had to stand down to their group ? ?euros because of widespread damage. engineers will be back out here this morning trying to assess the damage. also, issues around trains. carlisle station flooded as well. that meant services they are disrupted. avanti west coast are advising people not to travel if they can between preston and scotland. thank you very much indeed. it was really haunting, the sound of that flood siren. scary to hear. we have got reporters all over the uk this morning. many people have been left stranded by travel disruption caused by the storm. among them is kendal town fc fan phil walker, who is stuck on the isle of man after going to watch his team play there yesterday. hejoins us now, alongside kendal town chairman michael 0'neill. morning to you both. how has your unexpected overnight in the isle of man bin? it’s unexpected overnight in the isle of man bin? �* , ., unexpected overnight in the isle of man bin? �*, ., , man bin? it's not been too bad,

7:47 am
the family dealt with more disruptive behaviour than they were expecting — including the destruction of a brand—new sofa. but the biggest challenge has been encountering other dogs. when we go out for a walk, he thinks every dog — it's something to be afraid of. so he'll bark at that dog and sort of lunge to get it away from him. it's literally him shouting, "i'm frightened of you, move away from me." but when you're out for a walk, the other person's probably thinking, "0oh, that dogs aggressive." bruno was so difficult that jane asked vets and specialist behaviour consultants for help. in the end, he was prescribed medication to reduce his anxiety, just to give a window of opportunity to try and really do some some work with him around his tolerance levels and his arousal levels. the royal veterinary college tracked more than 1,000 owners who bought their puppies in 2020. a fifth of them reported eight or more problem behaviours in their pets. dog barks.

one source for trusted news". headteachers in england will start being contacted about new school inspections from today. changes are being brought in by 0fsted, after an inspection was found to have contributed to the suicide of primary head teacher ruth perry last year. here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. is it possible you could come and speak to the parent, please? the phone rings all day at most schools, but today the inspectors will start calling, warning some headteachers they'll get a routine inspection visit tomorrow. 0fsted is making changes to rebuild trust with schools. we have to remember that the most commonly used word by our members when describing their inspection experience is "brutal". so there's a long way to go and our members will still be nervous, but these are positive first steps. so we're going to welcome them, but we're going to have a healthy level of suspicion, as well, at the same time, until we see the actions that prove the intent. an inspection at caversham primary school contributed to the suicide

of headteacher ruth perry. speaking to us for our documentary, ruth's sister told us why change was needed. ruth said that that first meeting — she said she felt... it was just absolutely relentless. she couldn't. .. it felt like her head wasn't working properly. she was just in a complete state. she kept repeating this, saying, "i'm devastated, i'm broken, i'm traumatised." so inspectors have had some mental—health training. schools can raise concerns. a request can be made to pause an inspection. if a head teacher is very distressed, inspectors will leave, and return — the next day, or up to five days later, when support is in place. these changes are driven by the new chief inspector, who says this is just the beginning. parents will be asked for their views later this spring.

0fsted says a tragedy like the death of ruth perry should never happen again. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. more than 40 mps — including several former conservative ministers — have written to rishi sunak, urging him to provide extra funding for councils in england. the letter warns the prime minister that without emergency cash, many local authorities will be forced to cut crucial services and increase council tax, in an election year. the government says it has announced a £64 billion funding package for councils. lots of councils will be reacting to the storm because there are lots of repairs to be done and carol can tell us how the weather is looking. is that it, has storm isha now passed through? it is moving away, still packing a punch. let me show you the recent gusts of wind. they have come down
8:14 am
compared to last night. parts of northumberland had gusts of 99 mph. this gives you an idea. it is slowly starting to moderate but still is very windy. you can telljust by looking at these isobars. gale is parts of the north and west, especially with exposure. a lot of dry weather around. the rain from the south—east clearing then we are looking at showers, some on the tops of mountains on scotland will be wintry. elsewhere, we could also hear the odd rumble of thunder and see some hail, as well. temperatures seven to 11 degrees north to south, so chillier than yesterday. as we head through this evening, showers fade through the night time period and under clear skies, the risk of frost and ice across parts of scotland and northern england. then we have the next area of low

pressure introducing heavy rain and strong winds. this will be moving from the west to the east and we will see some transient snow on its leading edge for a time. it will bring heavy rain which will exacerbate the flooding risk. there are a lot of flood warnings in force, excess of 90. you will find it is not as impactful as storm isha has been. 0n it is not as impactful as storm isha has been. on tuesday, six to 14 degrees, meaning it will be a little milder. thank you. we will be back with carol as the programme goes on. today marks exactly three weeks since the itv drama mr bates vs the post office was broadcast for the first time. since then, we've seen an outpouring of public anger and heard the desperate stories of people who were failed by the system and had their lives destroyed. this week, the post office inquiry continues — amd over the next few days it examine criminal prosecutions that took place — in scotland and northern ireland.

but questions are also being asked by campaigners caught up in other scandals, who are wondering how and when they will get the justice or the compensation they feel they deserve. so, over the coming weeks we'll be taking another look at some of those stories. and we start this morning with the windrush scandal. like the post office workers, windrush victims say their lives were also devastated and — years later — they feel their concerns still haven t been heard. here's our community affairs correspondent ashitha nagesh. newsreel: citizens of. the british empire coming to the mother country with good intent. - when this footage was filmed, the name windrush symbolised hope, but 70 years later it became synonymous with injustice. when the empire windrush docked in tilbury in 1948, it brought over 1,000 people to the uk — mostly

than they currently enjoy, how we will compensate people for the hardship they have endured, and the steps i'll be taking to ensure that this never happens again. within a week, she had resigned. the home office launched a compensation scheme in 2019, but it has been plagued with complaints of complex applications, lengthy waits and unfair decisions. more than 7,500 people have applied for compensation so far. 0ver1,500 are still waiting for a decision. 106 have been waiting for over a year and a half. 53 people have died while waiting. there are growing calls for the scheme to be run by someone other than the home office. the home office says it's paid more than £75 million to victims, and that it's making improvements so people can receive as much compensation as quickly as possible. # london is the place for me...

8:33 am
for the organisation. it says no veterans will be left homeless. there's never been any clarity, and that's all we've ever asked. you know, we're ex—military. don't treat us like children, you know, treat us like adults. the thing that worries me most is the fact of becoming homeless. and the detrimental effect it might have on my mental health issues, as many of the residents in here suffer. from today, thousands of people with inherited blood disorders will have access to a genetic test to better match their blood transfusions and reduce side effects. the nhs is the first healthcare system in the world to provide the test for patients living with sickle cell disorder and thalaseemia. health professionals believe it will help find the best compatible blood for use in life—saving transfusions and are urging people to take the test if they're offered it. let's take a look at the tubes now.
8:34 am
now onto the weather with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. it's been a lively night with those very strong winds. not as windy out there today, but still blustery. so we do have a warning in force valid until midday today. we're looking at gusts of 40 to 45 mph. storm isha pulling away. sunny spells, scattered showers, some heavy through the day, and further wet and windy conditions, through the day on tuesday. any lingering rain this morning across the far south—east clearing. the rest of the day there will be decent sunny spells around, a scattering of showers, one or two falling on the heavy side. highs of 11 celsius. this evening those showers will eventually clear. so through the rest of the night fairly settled conditions.
8:35 am
largely dry, clear skies, and those winds following later. temperatures down to four or five in celsius. then further wet and windy conditions to come through the day on tuesday. milder too, with highs of around 14 in celsius. that's it for now. check out the website though for a pretty inspiring story about a 13—year—old blind boy whose piano playing skills are lifting the mood for those visiting the royal london hospital. i'll be back after nine. but for now, it's back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. hope you managed to have a decent sleep because a lot of people have had a disturbed night with the storm. that is our top story this morning. disruption from storm isha is continuing across much of the uk. yunus mulla is in cumbria, where authorities have been braced for flooding. yunus, what's the latest?
8:36 am
it has just started to rain again this morning about the conditions are much better than they were last night and throughout the night when i could see a number of residents putting out sandbags close to homes and also businesses. that is because the environment agency were really concerned about appleby and the surrounding area. and that's why they gave this flood warning around three hours before the —— they expect a to flood. storm siren sounds. the river eden is not as swollen as it was. where i am stored was flooded this morning. the road is now clear but a number of roads are still affected in this area. there are fallen trees and debris making driving very difficulty. in fact,

missed his car. literally like two seconds later. that was last night. that was in belton. that road has been closed, not surprisingly, while repairs are carried out. lots of repairs going on across the country. where there is power. john is here with the sport. some use? yes, we are picking up some interesting remarks from the fifa president gianni infantino and dealing with racist behaviour from fans. they have been two incidents over the weekend, one in italy and one of the championship. he has actually called for the idea for fitting matches. teams will shoulder more of the punishment. we have seen partial stadium closure is in the past, we have seen criminal charges brought against fans, but his point is, actually, teams and clubs got shoulder more of that responsibility going forward and they could forfeit
8:42 am
matches if any further racist abuse continues. it is really interesting because it pushes that further. it is what campaign groups have been asking for a long time. they do say the proof is in the pudding. there has been a lot of talk on how best to deal with racism in football. certainly significant fallen —— following those remarks. morning. strong remarks from the fifa president gianni infantino in dealing with racsist behaviour from fans, following two incidents over the weekend. he's called for action that goes beyond the current "three—step process", where play is stopped twice before a match is abandoned. he said, "we have to implement an automatic forfeit for the team whose fans have committed racism and caused the match to be abandoned, as well as worldwide stadium bans and criminal charges for racists,". milan's players walked off after their goalkeeper mike maignan was racially abused. a similar incident of racism was reported at hillsborough in the championship over the weekend. no salah, no problem, for liverpool. with mo salah away on international duty, darwin nunez scored twice,

as did diogojota as they brushed aside bouremouth 4—0. five points is their lead despite the injuries and absentees in their squad. the latest ever goal came in the premier league yesterday. history made in the 103rd minute as sheffield united equalised from the penalty spot against west ham. 0li mcburnie, who had won the penalty late on, getting up to score the spot kick to salvage a point for sheffield united in that 2—2 draw. a slice of unique history. it wasn't to be for buckie thistle, the highland league side who enjoy that dream draw against celtic yesterday. the fifth tier side from the north east of scotland cheered on by 2500 fans on a special day out at celtic park. celtic ran out 5—0 winners. worth keeping an eye out on

the fourth tier. bonnyrigg rose in the fourth tier. bonnyrigg rose in the next round. they play aberdeen in the last 16. you can see the full draw on the bbc sport website. cameron norrie is going for a spot in the quarter finals at the australian open, the only british player left in the singles. overnight in the women's draw, the 19—year—old czech teenager linda noskova, who's caught the eye after knocking out world number one iga swiatek in the previous round, is through again, after ukraine's elina svitolina was forced to retire from their last 16 tie. another day and another trophy for ronnie 0'sullivan. many will feel this could be the season he wins all three of snookermajor titles in the same season for the first time in his career. he came from behind to beat judd trump at the world grand in leicester. the winner the first to ten frames. he reeled off six,

8:46 am
been showing you whether what your pictures this morning of trees uprooted, large waves. here's another one from northern ireland. you can see the large waves. to give you an idea of the strongest cost we have seen in the last 18 hours, north wales, 90 mph gusts. northumberland, 99 mph gusts. even edinburgh, 74 mph. the winds are starting to come down a little bit. but it is still going to be a very windy day. gales across parts of the north and west. we are looking at sunshine and blustery showers. there are a lot of flood warnings in force at the moment. in fact, there are over 90. you can see we still have further showers packing in with snow on the mountains of scotland. there could be the odd rumble of thunder elsewhere. they could be hale. there will be a lot of dry weather. only slowly as we go through the day will the winds start to moderate.
8:47 am
temperatures today are done and what we had yesterday. it would feel a bit chillier. seven to 11 degrees. north to south. as we head on through the evening we will hang on to a lot of showers, but overnight most of them tend to fade, leaving us with clear skies. that means for northern england and also part of scotland, we could see some frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. by the end of the night figure cloud and rain will be showing its hand in the west end of the wind once again will be strengthening. —— thicker cloud. we have another area of low pressure coming our way heading in the direction of the north sea. you can see it is going to be windy wherever you are. and as this rain pushes from west to east we will have a period of snow on the tops of the hills and mountains in scotland. that will quickly turn back to red is the milder air follows on. that will quickly turn back to red is the milder airfollows on. all of this rain, and it will be heavy, will exacerbate the flooding risk. we are also looking at strong gusty winds. but we are not expecting it
8:48 am
to have the same kind of impact that storm isha has had. tuesday, six will be the top temperature in lerwick. generally, 11 to 14. milder. as we had from tuesday night into wednesday, this area of low pressure moves away. you can see the isobars for wednesday. a ridge of high pressure will build in from the west. basically, we start off windy. winds in scotland of 70 mph. central and northern areas, 50 to 60 mph, before that starts to moderate. many of the showers will fade but we will hang onto them in the west. more cloud in the south—west. it would be drizzly and murky, especially on the coast. temperatures down a touch, ten to 12 degrees. but widely, it is going to be dry. it remains changeable as we look at the outlook period beyond that. at times rain, sunny changeable as we look at the outlook period beyond that. at times rain, sunny spells changeable as we look at the outlook period beyond that. at times rain, sunny spells as changeable as we look at the outlook period beyond that. at times rain, sunny spells as well. you are right first time, wildly, everywhere! between leather and wild, we are all

over it today! don't start, carol xxx ——! if all this weather is making you think about summer holidays, flying away somewhere calmer, you might not get that smooth run through security at the airport that you were hoping for. some of the uk's biggest airports are set to miss a second deadline to install advanced security scanners. nina is here with the details. these are such a good idea, aren't they? but they are not everywhere. they are brilliant. if you're one of the lucky ones you will ever zipped through security. these scanners can see inside your bag. you can carry up see inside your bag. you can carry up to two litres of liquid, your laptop can stay in there. dead easy. we will —— we were all supposed to be looking forward to smoother run through security by the summer. guess what? it is not looking guaranteed for everyone. good morning. it was back in 2019 that the government announced these
8:50 am
scanners would be rolled out across the uk by december 2022. but a global pandemic hit, things ground to a halt, and the deadline was missed. so then a new deadline — new scanners in airports byjune 2024. some are up and running. you may have noticed for example at teeside and city, but the uk's biggest airports have told the bbc they're not there yet. gatwick and manchester airports insist they ve made a lot of progress, but won t have the all new scanners in place until 2025. and britain 5 biggest airport, heathrow, has some in place, but say they can't guarantee they'll all be in place byjune. so why not? and how might it afffect your summer hols? katy austin explains. since 2006, getting ready for a flight has meant checking you comply with strict rules around liquids in your hand luggage. at the moment, any liquids you take through airport security have to be in containers of no more than 100 millilitres, and they have to go inside a clear plastic bag.
8:51 am
new hi—tech ct scanners should mean the end of those rules. they're already used in some other countries and at some airports in the uk. travellers we spoke to were keen for the requirements to change. it's just a faff, isn't it? because you have to kind of think about what you're taking and then you forget to do something and it's your most favourite expensive perfume, and then you have to leave it at security and then go and buy it again when you get to the other side. has that happened to you? yes, a few times. yeah, for me, it's easy to remember because i'm used to it. but when i travel and when i go, when i see like people around me all the time, they don't necessarily know that there is this rule. the government set the 1st ofjune this year for all major airports to finish installing the new equipment, but some will miss that deadline. gatwick and manchester airports insist they've made a lot of progress, but won't have the new scanners in place at all security lanes until next year. britain's biggest airport, heathrow, also can't guarantee finishing
8:52 am
the job byjune. in many cases, getting them in has been challenging. they're very heavy. sometimes the floors in the actual terminal have to be reinforced. the cost is really high for these particular scanners. it's the latest technology. there are supply chain issues in being able to source the correct parts and get those functioning properly. and also, airports have to retrain their staff. the upshot is that instead of the liquids rules being completely eased in time for the summer holidays, it's likely to be a mixed picture. we're now going to go into a situation where different airports have different rules. so at some places you will need to get the liquids out in advance. in others you won't. and that has the potential to create further confusion and create further delays. you only need a couple of passengers to not be prepared to end up having to wait an extra ten, 20, 30 minutes. the department for transport said it was in regular contact with airports.
8:53 am
it may consider extending the deadline where it thinks it's appropriate, but isn't ruling out imposing penalties. if you are travelling this summer, even if the airport you're leaving from has eased its liquid rules, the one you come home from may not have. so, do check. new scanners should eventually make the airportjourney much smoother, but there could be some turbulence along the way. katy austin, bbc news. let's stick with the postitives. very exciting that we will be swiftly cruising through security again, an end to those queues and tuts at fellow passengers. but it could be a while before every airport lane is set, and in the meantime, there's the danger that the inconsistencues cause even more confusion and delay. we don't need more delays. that's for sure. thank you. what we could do with is a bit of a singalong. and we have got it for you right now. if you regularly watch breakfast,
8:54 am
