royal air forcejets, armed with precision guided bombs, joined us forces to rain missiles on houthi targets, prompting explosions which rocked the capital sanaa and other parts of yemen in the early hours of tuesday morning. us officials said among the targets was a weapons storage side very deep underground. the uk ministry of defence said they hit multiple targets at two military sites in the vicinity of sanaa airfield. this was the second round of military action undertaken jointly on the part of the us and the uk. a previous effort 12 days ago, coupled with half a dozen attacks mounted by the us alone, has so far failed to stop the houthis. are the air strikes in yemen working? well, when you say working, are they stopping the houthis? no. are they going to continue? yes —

before the latest strikes, houthi leaders had vowed to continue their attacks on shipping in the red sea as part of a show of support for palestinians caught up in the war with israel. however, the defence secretary, grant shapps, predicted this latest mission would erode the houthis�* ability to threaten global trade. yet more than 30 attacks on commercial vessels navigating a key route for world trade have already prompted fears of inflation, as freight supplies are delayed or re—routed. added to which, iran's backing of the rebels raises the troubling possibility of a broader conflict in the middle east. david willis, bbc news, washington. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now from westminster. henry, what more has the government said? it was very late last night when the government confirmed these strikes had taken place. the ministry of

defence put out a statement saying that four royal air force typhoons had taken part in these strikes and that a very rigorous analysis was applied in the planning of the strike to minimise any risk of civilian casualties. that statement actually came just a couple of hours after downing street said that rishi sunak had talked tojoe biden. they talked about various things including the situation in israel in gaza, and the situation in ukraine. they also talked about the continuing houthi action in the red sea. that was a clue this was coming. interestingly, rishi sunak didn't speak to sir keir starmer, the labour leader, before the strikes. that is different to the first set of strikes i2 strikes. that is different to the first set of strikes 12 days ago where there was a full call of the cabinet but also a secure briefing for it sir keir starmer, ffrr sur lindsay hoyle, the speaker of the house of commons. i don't think that means labour won't support these

strikes. i suspect they will, as they did last time. indeed, while there were questions 12 days ago about whether the house of commons should have had a vote before, the number of mps who opposed the action was very few indeed. that doesn't mean there won't be questions today for the government. they are similar to the questions last time. how many more strikes is the uk willing to take part in? what will the uk do if they don't deter the houthis? and what is the broader strategy? those are the questions rishi sunak will have to give an answer to, today. thank you. henry mentioning the situation in israel. jon is more on that. indeed. it is interesting, this. israel has proposed a two—month ceasefire to hamas, as part of a deal to free all the hostages being held in gaza, the us news site axios reports. the bbc has been unable to verify the claims, but if it went ahead, this would be the longest pause in fighting since

the start of the war. survivors of the grenfell tower fire say they will be a voice for the 72 people who died, as they share the impact the 2017 disaster has had on them during a new four—day event. grenfell testimony week is part of a settlement agreement, and campaigners say they'll use it to call for change. frances read reports. it was one of the uk's worst modern disasters. a fire that started in a fourth floor flat, raced up the exterior of the building, and spread to all four sides. 72 people died. those impacted have tried to be heard in all kinds of ways since that night injune 2017. six and a half years later, testimony week is supposed to give a platform for them to speak directly to some of those they hold responsible. it came about as part of a multi—million pound high court settlement agreement, but it has no impact on the ongoing grenfell inquiry, or on the eventual

decision as to whether criminal charges will be brought. and not everyone is hopeful of it helping. in my eyes, i don't think it will make a difference. i just think it's a chance for us citizens to say how much we really feel about the total lack of human regard, really. i still suffer with survivor's guilt every single day, and every month that the names are read out, i say to myself, that should have been me. but for others, this has been a long time coming, reflecting on how their lives are still impacted, as well as the many failings that happened. for those given the chance to speak, they're hoping their voice will be heard and listened to. frances read, bbc news. scotland's national clinical director, professorjason leitch, will appear before the uk covid—i9 inquiry later. he'll be questioned about deleting informal government whatsapp messages, which he has previously described as a "bedtime ritual".

0pposition politicians have accused the scottish government of secrecy over the way they handled the pandemic. the government has suffered its first defeat in the house of lords over its plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. peers backed an advisory motion calling on ministers to delay a treaty with the country, until they can demonstrate that it is safe. the government says it won't be deterred by people trying to frustrate its policies for political reasons. a simple blood test could detect alzheimer's up to 15 years before symptoms emerge. swedish trials found the test to be as accurate as painful lumbar punctures, and better than a range of other tests currently being worked on. experts say it could revolutionise early diagnosis of the disease. up to 39,000 homes in

the north—west of scotland up to 80 mph. damaging costs. storm isha has already done damage. there could still be impact. rain coming in from the west. this is the first sign of storm jocelyn. watch out for early ice and frost across much of the north—east england. that won't last long as the rain piles in from the the west, heading eastwards. heavy across parts of the highlands, the southern uplands, the lake district, the yorkshire dales and parts of wales. rivers, already sensitive to further rain. as we come south of that there will be a lot of cloud commentary and murky conditions, and behind the rain band a return to some showers and brighter spells. these are the temperatures. in my day ahead. the winds will strengthen. then the met office amber warning comes into force. from 6pm this evening until eight o'clock tomorrow morning, we are going to

get winds of widely 55 to 65 mph, but locally up to 80 miles per gusts. it will be windy wherever you are through the course of the night. as the storm passes the north of scotland, this is when the winds will peak. it does travel. then a lot of dry weather overnight. 0nce lot of dry weather overnight. once again they could be an impact from storm jocelyn, not as severe as with storm jocelyn, not as severe as with storm isha, but nonetheless, if you are travelling, bear this in mind. indeed. it is relentless for those communities already affected. more than 300,000 military personnel from russia have died or been wounded during the war in ukraine, according to uk estimates. now the wives of russian soldiers have been reaching out to president putin on social media, and demanding that their husbands are allowed to stop fighting and return home. 0ur russia editor steve rosenberg has been speaking to some they were the extra boots on the ground

the kremlin badly needed. the 300,000 reservists mobilised more than a year ago for russia's war against ukraine. antolina's partner was drafted at the age of 1m. she says that despite being diagnosed with stomach ulcers, he was deployed to an assault unit. now he's wounded. translation: there are some people who want to fight, who volunteer - for it and sign contracts. let them fight. but some does back our husbands who don't want to be there. they've done their duty to the motherland. send them home. antonina hasjoined other women campaigning to bring their husbands home. here, they're seeking support from an anti—war politician who wants to run for president. they choose their words carefully. most avoid criticising the war itself. still, with dissent in russia pretty much silenced,

this event is unusual, a rare public display of discontent. translation: when will they decide l that our husbands have discharged l their military duty? when they're brought back to us with no arms and legs? when they can't do anything because they're just a vegetable? or do we have to wait for them to be sent back in a zinc coffin? the russian authorities have not reacted positively to what amounts to a call for demobilisation. the head of the russian parliament's defence committee said recently, can you imagine in world war two wives of soldiers asking stalin to send their husbands home after a year on the front line? it would never happen. his conclusion was that such demands today are being put out there by russia's enemies. maria finds talk like that insulting. her husband and her cousin have been drafted. she understands the ukraine war is not like world war two. today, russia hasn't been invaded.

it's invaded ukraine. but not all russians can face reality. translation: some people act like ostriches. _ they stick their heads in the sand and try not to think about what's happening. i can understand them. it's hard to accept that in your country the state doesn't need you to be happy. it just treats you as biological material. but if people want to survive, sooner or later, they need to recognise this and say that they don't agree. antonina had always trusted the authorities. and now? translation: i used to have enormous respect for vladimir putin. _ now i'm more neutral. but if he really does see us as traitors and outcasts for wanting our husbands back, i don't understand why he'd have this attitude towards citizens who once voted for him. in russia, the possibilities

for public protest are limited. so once a week, the women meet by the tomb of the unknown soldier, just to lay flowers. opponents of the invasion of ukraine have little sympathy. they say the draftees should have ignored the call up. their wives just want their husbands back now. red carnations a reminder of the human cost of war. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. let's have a look at today's papers. the front pages carry several different stories. "devastating" is the headline on the daily mirror, which reports on the death of 20—year—old morgan ribeiro. the paper says she died after she underwent weight loss surgery in turkey, following years of being taunted by bullies. the telegraph leads with news about a blood test for alzheimer's, reporting that it could be used to detect the disease 15—years before a patient

shows symptoms. really interesting. it is early days but it will offer hope to some of the families affected. an earlier treatment. the i newspaper says britain is braced for storm jocelyn, after storm isha left tens of thousands of homes without power. it says that experts are predicting severe storms will increase in the uk in the next decade. and the star's headline reads, "who's a pretty potty—mouthed boy then? " it's reporting on several parrots that swear at visitors at a wildlife park in skegness. staff are trying to deal with the problem by reintroducing the offending birds to the main flock, in the hope they'll be drowned out by the others. they took the bad boys out and put them in a separate case for several years. now there are slowly reintroducing them to the main flow coping they will behave. what could possibly go wrong? who has been teaching them the naughty words?

by naughty words? by the end of the week the whole flock will be swearing! let's show you a gorgeous picture. here's a surfer competing in the nazare big wave challenge in portugal. wow. there you can see a surfer. the waves at this site have been known to reach heights of more than 70 feet. stunning picture. is that storm blows in. really famous for the waves within the surfing community, obviously. a fantastic competition. if you are wondering how you are going to feel your life when the traitors ends this week... the gap is going to be filled by the apprentice. the papers have biographies of all candidates that lord sugar will be facing in the boardroom. safe to say they are not lacking in self belief. they are very confident, and they? we won't name names but the quotes in their biographies are brilliant. a gentleman here says, "i've got an

extremely high iq and i am also good on the ice." "i have never had a business fail. failure is not an option." i like ambition though, jon. it is good. i will dominate and prove that i am a selling machine. this is my favourite. i can make lord sugar the lord of the pies! this is the guy with his own pie company. some of these people... he has been on first dates as well. i will dominate and prove i am a selling machine. i am ready to step into the realm of remarkable success. it is going to be good. you are going to be watching that, all of it. 20 past six. donald trump and nikki haley are making their last push for votes ahead of the republican presidential primary in new hampshire. mr trump remains well ahead in the polls, and the former un ambassador is his last remaining challenger, after florida governor ron desantis dropped out on sunday.

nomia iqbal reports. new hampshire's official state motto is, "live free or die". coined by a general during the revolutionary war, it is now used to convey the independence of the state has. nearly 40% of voters here are politically unaffiliated. every presidential candidate has passed through this diner. and one man here is hoping to take advantage of independent voters to stop donald trump. this for left leaning independent voters, their top issue this for left leaning independent voters, their top issue _ by far is how much they dislike donald trump, and how much democracy is the central issue for them this election cycle. is it easy getting people to vote for nikki haley when that is someone they would never ordinarily vote for?

it is tough, but we have found a pretty large reception. nikki haley is the only candidate that can dent donald trump and end this idea that he is the inevitable nominee. robert works the room hard. it's actually a detrimental vote. i'm not sure how many voters robert got on board. however, polls currently show trump widening the lead by more than 20 percentage points. we travel east across the state, and to this restaurant, where nikki haley supporters are feeling confident. nikki haley! but as she arrives, news breaks that ron desantis is out. it is now one fella and one lady left. cheering. nikki haley came here to huge applause. the news came through this is now a two—person race. with voters taking to the polls shortly, she came to beat the drum. donald trump is petrified of her,

which is exactly why he is lying consistently about her record. she's smart, she's— an accountant, she's beautiful. it never hurts to be beautiful. but across town that confidence is matched by trump supporters. i think there is no question on trump winning new hampshire at all. at this point both haley and desantis are just distractions and kind of irrelevant. desantis has dropped out now. yeah. doubly irrelevant then. tomorrow is the day that each and everyone of you is going to cast the most important vote of your entire life. this is a very, very important vote. donald trump isn't really a candidate, but a movement. and if he wins this state by a huge amount, the race for the republican nomination was more or less be over. nomia iqbal, bbc news, new hampshire. a pensionerfrom swindon says she's "over the moon" to be back home, after her mouldy house was transformed by friends and volunteers. patricia had become chronically ill

from black mould which covered her walls and furniture. but now, thanks to the help of more than 150 people, the 70—year—old has been able to return home. laura jones went to meet her. back home at last. go and have have a look. oh, it's so beautiful. this is the first time in two long months that patricia has set foot in the house she's lived in for 50 years. i know it sounds silly, but even if i'm on holiday, i get homesick. ijust love my home. at the end of november, she had to suddenly move out. and you can see why. astonishingly, the 70—year—old former honda worker had been living like this for several years. a few problems with damp left untreated had escalated and escalated.

it was black, smelly... ..disgusting. you'd have to watch where you walk because there was water leaking. the mice would just, like, be running in here. the rats, i would bang the radiator in the hallway and hope that they would run, so i could go and make a cup of tea. the pandemic meant no visitors, so no one knew, and pat wasn't sure what to do or who to turn to. how do you ask for help when your house is so disgusting? so you just left it? and left it. and obviously it just got worse and worse and worse. happily, she did eventually confide in herfriend jan. i was absolutely mortified. i could not believe anyone was living like that. it was the most shocking thing i've ever seen. jan got her friend sandra involved, who set up a fundraising campaign. jan moved pat into her home whilst the damp specialists moved in here. this is as bad as a house ever got.

we've seen houses get close to it, i but this is as bad as a house — l this is as bad as a house i can get, because basically we've had to destroy the house to rebuild it, so... _ you know, this was a charity thing, and i put a lot- of time in after hours. during the day as well, john sent people herel when we needed them, - and we felt like it was something we needed to do. we needed to do — not. should do, needed to do — because this lady is living in squalor, really. - over the course ofjust eight weeks, the transformation in here, as you can see, has been astonishing. and it's all thanks to pat's friends and members of the local community, who've worked day and night, and for nothing, to get this done. oh, it's absolutely amazing what they've done for me. absolutely amazing. it's just like to show home. everything is so, so beautiful. lovely central heating, working, it's wonderful. hot water?! that was my saddest part of life, no hot water. she's immensely grateful to everyone.

and whilst the years living in the damp have damaged pat's health, she is on the mend and is now very much looking forward to the simple things. invite my friends round for a cup of tea, so that would be lovely, that they can call in and see me on their way home from work, which is wonderful. it's going to make a big difference, isn't it? it is. make my life normal again. laura jones, bbc news. what a brilliant job what a brilliantjob they did. well done jan for intervening. patricia, we are all coming round for a cup of tea. still to come on breakfast... strictly champions ellie leach and vito coppola lifted the glitterball trophy last month, and they've already got their dancing shoes back on, this time for the strictly live uk tour. we'll chat to them just before eight. look at them. how brilliant are they? ellie announced she was entering the

competition while sitting on the sofa in the summer. she owes it to us. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. survivors of the grenfell tower fire and those who lost loved ones in the tragedy will speak about the ongoing impact of the disaster at a special testimony week which starts today. 72 people died in the fire in 2017. this week's event forms part of a compensation settlement and will involve speeches, films and art work. kensington and chelsea council and the london fire brigade are two of the organisations that will attend. cladding manufacturer arconic has said it regrets that no representatives can be there. tower hamlets, newham, hackney and barking and dagenham council areas have the highest child poverty rates in london. that's according to the latest data from thejoseph rowntree foundation. all four local authorities have

child poverty rates over 40% — the average for london as a whole is 33%, which equates to around 700,000 children living in poverty. richmond upon thames has the lowest rate at i2%. victoria park in east london will soon be able to run more major events, with thousands more people attending. tower hamlets council approved the plans. it hopes it will help to generate more income, boost local businesses, and give people more to do in the park. but some residents are concerned about the changes. we have a very young borough — there's lots of children, lots of families in cramped accommodation. and if you come here in the summer, you can see people having birthday parties and all sorts of celebrations in the park. and we just want to make sure that the park can be used by everyone. the uk's first indoor baseball and softball centre is set to open today in brent cross. the 108 centre will open inside brent cross town — a newly built living, business, and shopping district.

it will support everything from elite training to youth and social games. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kawser. morning. some further wet and windy weather is on its way, courtesy of storm jocelyn. it will be a chilly start with a few showers, and then it will become wet and windy and milder. as the storm arrives in from the west, it won't be as significant as storm isha for us, but it will certainly bring some strong winds and some outbreaks of rain at times. and you can see that rain arriving in from the west during the day today. there will be a lot of cloud around, as well, and we're drawing in that milder air. temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius, and there may be wind gusts of around a0 to 45 miles per hour. those winds will strengthen for a time as we head through tonight, but that system will tend to clear, and then it will become drier by the end

of the night with clearer spells, and temperatures dipping to around eight to ten celsius — so certainly it will be a milder start to the day tomorrow compared with today. and as we look ahead, well, we are expecting plenty of fine dry weather tomorrow with some sunshine around. the winds will gradually start to ease and it remains quite mild for the next few days — but still quite unsettled. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. now it's back to sally and jon. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's return to our top story this morning. the us and uk have carried out more coordinated air strikes against houthi targets in yemen — in response to the group's attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. the houthis claim they're targeting ships linked to israel

because of its military operation in gaza. the defence secretary grant shapps said the latest round of strikes were in "self—defence" and would "deal another blow" to the iranian—backed fighters. the us military confirmed the latest strikes were against eight targets. fresh questions could be raised about the need to consult parliament over military action. it is understood that in contrast to the strikes on 11th january, neither labour leader sir keir starmer nor commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle were briefed about the operation. we will keep across that as the morning goes on. we might get more statements from politicians in whitehall, so stay tuned for more information on those strikes. the prime minister has reassured parents in england that they will receive further help with childcare, as promised. it comes amid warnings that the application process is "baffling" for parents. nina's at a nursery in warrington.

she is finding out how they are facing up to this big change and what the parents there are saying. where are you, what are you up to? morning! i am over here, looking at the antarctic display. ijust morning! i am over here, looking at the antarctic display. i just found this penguin that needs to be taken back there. every time i come into these settings i am reminded of how they have to hit the sweet spot between it being a home from home for tiny kids but also helping them begin the educationaljourney. it is not easy and doesn't come cheap. i remember when this announcement came in the budget last year, and parents jumping forjoy about this financial support for people in nursery settings say, hang on, how will it work on time? let's remind ourselves of the then chancellor's pledges. at the time he called it the biggest transformation of childcare in his lifetime. it would begin from april this year, the pledge was, for working parents of two—year—olds to be entitled to 15 hours of free

childcare. from september the plan wasn't for that to be extended to children of nine months upwards, and from september of next year, the plant would be that children under five would then have an increase of 30 hours of free childcare. there are some parameters, both parents are some parameters, both parents are to be working, neither can be earning £100,000 or more. but potentially savings of more than £6,000 for parents of a two—year—old once this is fully rolled out. these parents in birmingham said it would be a helping hand. i wouldn't be able to go back full time if i needed to, because it's just so expensive. so with the government coming in and everything like that, it'd be great. so it allows me to go back to work more and everything. the free hours don't l cover school holidays. so i work in the nhs, - my partner works, as well, and we don't have sort of holidays off. - we were under the impression that we'd be saving quite a lot - financially, but it turns out - that we won't be saving all that much at the end of it.

harriet runs this nursery here, 72 kids here and another five at home forfun! we heard from the parents talking about the fact that this is only during term time. you have an issue with the fact that these are called "free" places. tell me about the conversations with parents. the false advertisement of the free childcare — false advertisement of the free childcare is misleading to parents. it childcare is misleading to parents. it means_ childcare is misleading to parents. it means they cannot financially and effectively plan to have a family, to return — effectively plan to have a family, to return to their careers, so that whole _ to return to their careers, so that whole rhetoric needs to change. and for ou, whole rhetoric needs to change. and for you. yes. — whole rhetoric needs to change. fific for you, yes, you're getting whole rhetoric needs to change. a"ic for you, yes, you're getting this funding, but until yesterday you were not even sure how much it would be and it is still not rock—solid what the number will be. what does that do to a business plan? indie that do to a business plan? we cannot effectively plan. when the announcement was made we had significant — announcement was made we had significant increase in inquiries, parents — significant increase in inquiries, parents wanted to know more, but white _ parents wanted to know more, but white frankly, we don't know what we are going _ white frankly, we don't know what we are going to— white frankly, we don't know what we are going to be charging because we don't know_

guys this morning, whether or not you found those glitches in the system in trying to register for your voucher code, whether or not this extra funding will make all the difference for you going back to work, and also whether you think childcare is at the moment affordable you factor in term time conditions and parameters. thank you. that is such a good point. i know lots of parents will be doing those sums. can you afford to go back to work and to pay for the childcare? how long can you afford to pay that until the costs come down? it will be a few years. and when will the money kick in? absolutely. johnjoins us on john joins us on the sofa. 0wen farrell has been the face of english rugby for many years. the go to guy when england have needed the points but he is turning his back on english rugby, moving to france and because of this ruling which means you can no longer be selected if you play abroad, he will not be playing for england. he had

the parisian club racing 92 have announced he is to move to them from the english club saracens in the summer on a two—year deal. farrell had decided not to play in the six nations — which starts next month — to look after his mental well—being after a stressful period in the run up to the recent world cup, when he was criticised for his tackling. but now it's unclear when — or even if — he'll play for his country again. unlike some other nations, english rugby has a policy of not picking those based abroad — a decision that's been questioned by some, but farrell's replacement as england captain says the players understand it. i think the rules are very clear. if you choose to not play in england, then you won't be able to represent your country. you know, that for me is a choice that those guys have made, and they're very clear about that. the rfu have been very clear about that for a long time. he's still going, mitchell gives it to arundell! what a score! the well—funded french league routinely lures in the best players — england have lost a series of talents across the channel... ..but none as big a name as farrell.

english rugby's brilliant constant will be, for the foreseeable future, absent. patrick gearey, bbc news. at the australian open, britain's alfie hewett begun the defence of his wheelchair singles title with a straight sets win againstjapan's takashi sanada. 0vernight, coco gauff reached the semi—finals in the women's draw, beating marta kostyuk of ukraine in three sets. she'll face the winner of the match between aryna sabalenka and barbora krejcikova. now we've seen some upsets in the fa cup. tonight there's a chance championship side middlesbrough could spring one themselves by knocking premier league side chelsea out of the league cup semi finals to reach the final next month. they hold a one goal advantage heading into their semi final second leg, and could reach their first major cup final since 2006. big night. we're obviously right in the game.

so there's a lot of excitement and dreaming going down there. so it's a fitting way, in terms of us to repay them for all the effort and time and money they've spent over this competition, all them away games. so, yeah, we'll be doing everything we can to make it last a little bit longer. will the fans still be smiling later? we wonder. the agent of mohammed salah says the liverpool striker�*s injury is more serious than first thought. he's likely to be out for 3—4 weeks ruling him out of the africa cup of nations for longer than expected. he's set to return to liverpool for treatment — after watching his egypt team—mates draw their final group game against cape verde last night. egypt thought they'd scored a 93rd minute winner, only to concede a 99th minute equaliser. cape verde win the group, egypt go through as runners up. there was an embarrassing defeat for the hosts ivory coast — beaten 4—0 by equatorial guinea — who win the group. defeat for the ivorians leaves them third in the group and must now rely

on other results to avoid a shock early exit. and there was one game in the premier league last night. won't go down as a classic as brighton drew 0—0 with wolves. the draw though moves brighton level on points with manchester united. perhaps most notable thing, james milner moving ahead of ryan giggs into second on the all time list of premier league appearances — 633 matches. just 20 short of the all—time record. there was this, though. amazing what the cameras in the tunnel capture. usually it's the players coming out before kick—off. this is two members of brighton staff — malcolm, who is a referee steward — down on one knee, popping the question to candice, who we gather works on security in the press room. taking her time a little bit their! and?! ~ ., taking her time a little bit their!

millimetres across the highlands, the southern uplands, the lake district, yorkshire and parts of wales. the rivers are already sensitive to rain. tonight the winds were peak, looking at widespread gales with severe gales in the north. already we are starting to see the first signs of storm jocelyn coming in, bringing this rain in. across parts of scotland and northern england, some frost first thing with the risk of ice on untreated services. it won't last long because as the rain pushes in, the cloud will build and the temperature will rise and we will see that heavy rain. it will slowly push towards the east. behind it, a lot of cloud, some drizzly conditions in the south and we'll see further heavy showers coming in across the north west. temperatures six to 16 degrees. it will be pretty mild for the time of year for most. these are the kind of wind gusts we can expect through the afternoon, continuing to strengthen, looking at 46 in the outer hebrides. it is here

where the amber weather warning is in force. we are most concerned about here, gusts widely 55 to 65 mph, potentially up to 80 mph. storm isha did some damage, there could well be further impacts because of loose tiles, for example, structural damage and also some of the trees will be weakened because of storm isha. something to bear in mind especially if you are travelling. through the night, the rain pushes south, storm jocelyn moves across the north of scotland. this is when we will see the peak strength of the wind when we could have gusts up to 80 mph and it will be a fairly mild night. tomorrow you will find a very windy start, still looking at gales across scotland and also northern england. gales to the east of the pennines, some tricky travelling conditions, and only slowly through the day will the wind moderate. it will take much of the day for it to

do so in the north. tomorrow, a lot of dry weather, a few showers in the west. they can cloud coming into the south—west stock that is the next weather front and it will push steadily northwards through the day but it is not particularly strong. what it will do is introduce a lot of cloud, low cloud at that, and some rain. the rain especially in the north and also the west. again, not particularly heavy compared to what we would have been used to, and a lot of cloud around generally. these temperatures. six in the north to 12 or 13 as we push towards the south, and then into friday, a better day, drier but still gales in north—west scotland and as we head into the weekend it remains changeable, so there is lots going on with the changeable, so there is lots going on with the weather. changeable, so there is lots going on with the weather. there changeable, so there is lots going on with the weather. there is. changeable, so there is lots going on with the weather. , . ~ on with the weather. there is. thank ou. let's take a look now at an issue that has been described as "a plague on society". these videos show an emerging online trend — often involving stolen off—road bikes and quads, that police say is fuelling illegal and anti—social behaviour.

as you can see, the vehicles are being driven recklessly, often through public spaces, all filmed for hits and likes on social media. 0ur reporterjim connolly has been out on patrol with cleveland police. engines revving. up and down the country, communities are being terrorised by gangs on illegal off—road bikes and quads. and the police are warning an emerging new trend on social media is fuelling the problem. riders provoke the authorities, and getting likes on places like tiktok is what it's all about. tiktok told us it doesn't allow videos that promote breaking the law, and it removes those that do. the company says this is an issue across social media. last year, across the uk, nearly 26,000 bikes were stolen. often these vehicles are used anti—socially — a real problem in places like teesside. one thing high on senior officers'

minds are self—styled dingers. for the misery they cause travel communities. for the misery they causeto our communities. they steal bikes to ride in an anti—social, illegal and dangerous way — often with showing off on social media in mind. there is a youth culture that thinks it's acceptable to take a motorbike, take a quad, ride it in an anti—social manner, and then upload it onto social media. they're very much like a community bike, so they will pass it from one individual to another individual. so a real plague to society. yeah, this car park and the field here. chris says his family's dream of a quiet life has been destroyed by off—road bikes, cars and anti—social behaviour. you can see anything from eight to 15 on a bad night. they all congregate in there, making as much noise as possible and causing as much trouble as possible. engines revving. it scares my daughter

because she has autism. we wanted the lovely, peaceful life. we wanted to wake up in the morning and look out the window and see the field and everything else, and... we just... i think we just keep the blind shut now. we're at our tether with it all, it's like hell living around here. what's next? what's your next move? this is our dream home. this is our first—ever home we bought. we're looking at... we're never going to get peace. we're going to have to move. we might have to put this up for sale. radio comms. cleveland police insist anti—social behaviour is a priority. we've been invited along to see what they're doing about it. think he is going up there, mate. quad bikes had to be used to commit crime in our area a lot,

and they'll target addresses of rival gangs and cause damage. it's generally over drugs. there are plenty of signs of dinger—related crime as we drive about — from burnt—out bikes to broken fences. but it was looking like a quiet night until we saw a quad bike bombing down the pavement straight towards us. there it is, there — to the right and left. but he swerved down a side road when he saw us coming. so we've just seen a quad bike coming in the other direction. what are we looking for, chris? yeah, he was going quite fast and, to be fair, quads aren't very stable at speed — cos if he goes on a corner at liomph, there's a very high chance of it flipping over. what's really striking there is that the quad bike was going down the pavement, pitch black, no lights. if a pedestrian had come out, he would have been injured, potentially even killed if it hit him. in this case, he got away, but cleveland police seized more than 500 bikes last year — and for some, this was their fate. jim connolly, bbc news, redcar. incredible pictures there from jim. you can hear more on this issue on bbc radio 5

live with nicky campbell from 10:00 this morning. tune in. they say a picture is worth a thousand words — which perfectly sums up the wildlife photographer of the year exhibition — designed to showcase the remarkable creatures that make up our natural world. look at that, isn't that fab?! i wasn't going to tell you about it, it might freak you out completely. i've seen it, it's fine. some lucky students in edinburgh were among the first to see the show before it opened at the weekend — and they even met wildlife cameraman and strictly come dancing winner hamza yassin. joanne macaulay reports. cats and dogs. what is the favourite picture you've took? it was a chance for these primary 55 to hear tales of close encounters with wildlife, as hamza yassin answered questions about his adventures. and the children were the first to see the wildlife photographer of the year exhibition, which features the best shots from almost 50,000 entries from around the world. it shows that we should look after the animals, and notjust shut them out and pretend they're not part of our world.

i didn't even know some of these . animals existed until these photos. it'sjust amazing that people can do that. i well, i think it can tell us maybe not to try and pollute the world cos it could hurt animals. i think it would just be really fun to try and do one, as well. - hamza yassin is well known for his victory on strictly come dancing, but his first passion is for wildlife — as demonstrated in his photography and presenting career — and he hopes this exhibition will inspire others. the exhibition here is absolutely phenomenal. it's incredible. you've got all ages here, from the young category to the journalist category. i'm hoping that, as people come down to see this exhibition, they are moved — and they're moved in the correct way, which is trying to help the natural world. the pictures captured are not all happy stories,

but they show the diversity of our world. get out, enjoy it. even if it's in your own back yard, it is there to be enjoyed and to be wondered at. the exhibition opens on saturday, until may. the exhibition opens until may. joanne macaulay, bbc news. gorgeous pictures. fantastic. still to come on breakfast... no turning back now, boys. we'll chat to actors stephen moyer and james mcardle about their roles in new crime drama sexy beast. it's based on the film of the same name, and follows two friends and their involvement in london's criminal underworld during the 1990s. it isa it is a prequel to the film. remember that? it is a prequel to the film. rememberthat? i it is a prequel to the film. remember that?- it is a prequel to the film. remember that? it is a prequel to the film. rememberthat? ., ,, ., ., , remember that? i do! it kind of goes wron: in remember that? i do! it kind of goes wrong in the — remember that? i do! it kind of goes wrong in the film. _ remember that? i do! it kind of goes wrong in the film. i _ remember that? i do! it kind of goes wrong in the film. i love _ remember that? i do! it kind of goes wrong in the film. i love a _ remember that? i do! it kind of goes wrong in the film. i love a prequel. i wrong in the film. i love a prequel. it will be clever, _ wrong in the film. i love a prequel. it will be clever, good _ wrong in the film. i love a prequel. it will be clever, good to _ wrong in the film. i love a prequel. it will be clever, good to chat - wrong in the film. i love a prequel. it will be clever, good to chat to i it will be clever, good to chat to them. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. survivors of the grenfell tower fire, and those who lost loved ones in the tragedy, will speak about the ongoing impact of the disaster at a special testimony week, which starts today. 72 people died in the fire in 2017. this week's event forms part of a compensation settlement and will involve speeches, film and art work. kensington and chelsea council and the london fire brigade are two of the organisations that will attend. cladding manufacturer arconic has said it regrets that no representatives can be there. tower hamlets, newham, hackney and barking and dagenham have the highest child poverty rates in london. that's according to the latest data from thejoseph rowntree foundation. all four local authorities have child poverty rates over 40%. the average for london as a whole is 33%, which equates to around 700,000 children living in poverty. richmond upon thames has

the lowest rate at 12%. victoria park in east london will soon be able to run more major events, with thousands more people attending. tower hamlets council approved the plans. it hopes it will help to generate more income, boost local businesses and give people more to do in the park. but some residents are concerned about the changes. we have a very young borough — there's lots of children, lots of families in cramped accommodation. and if you come here in the summer, you can see people having birthday parties and all sorts of celebrations in the park. and we just want to make sure that the park can be used by everyone. 1600 e—bikes will be added to the santander cycle rental scheme this summer. it more than triples the current stock. a new £3 day pass, allowing unlimited journeys under 30 minutes, will also be introduced in march.

let's take a look at the tubes now. a few issues. the bakerloo line has severe delays. the circle and metropolitan lines have minor delays. the 0verground is part suspended. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. some further wet and windy weather is on its way, courtesy of storm jocelyn. it will be a chilly start with a few showers, and then it will become wet and windy and milder. as the storm arrives in from the west, it won't be as significant as storm isha for us, but it will certainly bring some strong winds and some outbreaks of rain at times. and you can see that rain arriving in from the west during the day today. there will be a lot of cloud around, as well, and we're drawing in that milder air. temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius, and there may be wind gusts of around 40 to 45 miles per hour. those winds will strengthen for a time as we head through tonight, but that system will tend to clear, and then it will become drier by the end of the night with clearer spells, and temperatures dipping to around eight to ten celsius — so certainly it will be a milder start to the day tomorrow

compared with today. and as we look ahead, well, we are expecting plenty of fine dry weather tomorrow with some sunshine around. the winds will gradually start to ease and it remains quite mild for the next few days — but still quite unsettled. i'll be back with another next update in half an hour. now it's back to sally and jon. have a very good morning. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. us and british forces carry out fresh strikes against houthi targets in yemen, in response to their attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. the pentagon said eight targets were hit. the defence secretary grant shapps says the strikes were in self—defence. thousands of homes remain withour power following storm isha, as the uk

braces itself for storm jocelyn. good morning. although storm jocelyn won't be as impactful as storm isha, it will still have an impact, bringing heavy rain and strengthening winds. and tonight, gales or severe gales. can championship side chelsea —— millsboro knock chelsea out of the league cup semifinals 20 years on from winning the competition? —— middlesbrough. and strictly champions ellie leach and vito coppola lifted the glitterball trophy last month, and they've already got their dancing shoes back on — this time for the strictly live uk tour. good morning. it's tuesday, 23rd january. the us and uk have carried out more coordinated air strikes against houthi targets in yemen, in response to the group's attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. the uk defence secretary grant shapps said the strikes would "deal another blow"

to the iranian—backed fighters. the houthi's claim they're targeting ships linked to israel because of its military operation in gaza. 0ur north america correspondent david willis reports. royal air forcejets, armed with precision guided bombs, joined us forces to rain missiles on houthi targets, prompting explosions which rocked the capital sanaa and other parts of yemen in the early hours of tuesday morning. us officials said among the targets was a weapons storage site very deep underground. the uk ministry of defence said they hit multiple targets at two military sites in the vicinity of sanaa airfield. this was the second round of military action undertaken jointly on the part of the us and the uk. a previous effort 12 days ago, coupled with half a dozen attacks mounted by the us alone, has

so far failed to stop the houthis. are the air strikes in yemen working? well, when you say working, are they stopping the houthis? no. are they going to continue? yes — before the latest strikes, houthi leaders had vowed to continue their attacks on shipping in the red sea as part of a show of support for palestinians caught up in the war with israel. however, the defence secretary, grant shapps, predicted this latest mission would erode the houthis' ability to threaten global trade. yet more than 30 attacks on commercial vessels navigating a key route for world trade have already prompted fears of inflation, as freight supplies are delayed or re—routed. added to which, iran's backing of the rebels raises the troubling possibility of a broader conflict in the middle east. david willis, bbc news, washington. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from westminster.

what political reaction has there been to this latest development? i think people are still digesting it really here in westminster. it was fairly late last night when the ministry of defence put out a statement saying that a typhoon jets had taken part in these strikes, joining the us and supported by a pair of voyager tankers. just the uk and us taking part. a statement from the pentagon stressed they were supported by a broader coalition of intelligence and surveillance support from australia, bahrain, canada and the netherlands. the statement last night came just a few hours after downing street said that rishi sunak had spoken to president biden on the phone. they talked about the war in israel. they talked about the war in israel. they talked

about the war in israel. they talked about the war in ukraine. but they also talked about the situation in the red sea. that should have been a clue that the uk was considering preparing tojoin these clue that the uk was considering preparing to join these strikes again for the second time in just under two weeks. rishi sunak did talk tojoe biden before. he didn't talk tojoe biden before. he didn't talk tojoe biden before. he didn't talk to sir keir starmer, the leader of the labour party before. that is striking because last time before the uk joined the strikes, there was a briefing on confidential privy council terms for sir keir starmer and sir lindsay hoyle, the speaker of the house of commons. i understand labour would like a similar briefing to take place this morning. and they also expect rishi sunak to address parliament today. what will he be asked? i think similar questions to the big questions after the last set of strikes, which is, how many more will the government to take part in? what will the government to do if they kick don't deter the houthis? and what is the broader strategy? those were the questions 12 days ago. they are still the question is

rishi sunak will have to have answers for. henry, thank you. henry zeffman. jon has more of today's developing use. the israeli military says yesterday was the deadliest day for its forces since the start of its ground operation in gaza, with 21 reservists killed. it comes as the palestinian death toll in the territory surpassed 25—thousand over the weekend. israel has proposed a two—month ceasefire to hamas as part of a deal to free all the hostages being held in gaza, according to the us news site axios. several ukrainian civilians have been killed — and more injured — after russia fired missiles across the country overnight. officials say this building in kyiv was hit during the longest air raid since the start of january. two other people were killed in the dnipro region. survivors of the grenfell tower fire say they will be a voice

for the 72 people who died, as they share the impact the disaster has had on them during a new four—day event. grenfell testimony week is part of a settlement agreement, and campaigners say they'll use it to call for change. frances read reports. it was one of the uk's worst modern disasters. a fire that started in a fourth floor flat, raced up the exterior of the building, and spread to all four sides. 72 people died. those impacted have tried to be heard in all kinds of ways since that night injune 2017. six and a half years later, testimony week is supposed to give a platform for them to speak directly to some of those they hold responsible. it came about as part of a multi—million pound high court settlement agreement, but it has no impact on the ongoing grenfell inquiry, or on the eventual decision as to whether criminal charges will be brought. and not everyone is hopeful of it helping.

in my eyes, i don't think it will make a difference. i just think it's a chance for us citizens to say how much we really feel about the total lack of human regard, really. i still suffer with survivor's guilt every single day, and every month that the names are read out, i say to myself, really, that should have been me. but for others, this has been a long time coming, reflecting on how their lives are still impacted, as well as the many failings that happened. for those given the chance to speak, they're hoping their voice will be heard and listened to. frances read, bbc news. scotland's national clinical director professorjason leitch will appear before the uk covid—19 inquiry later. he'll be questioned about deleting informal government whatsapp messages, which he has previously described as a "bedtime ritual". 0pposition politicians have accused

the scottish government of secrecy over the way it handled the pandemic. the government has suffered its first defeat in the house of lords over its plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. peers backed an advisory motion calling on ministers to delay a treaty with the country until they can demonstrate that rwanda is safe. the government says it won't be deterred by people trying to frustrate its policies for political reasons. a simple blood test could detect alzheimer's up to 15 years before symptoms emerge. swedish trials found the test to be as accurate as painful lumbar punctures, and better than a range of other tests currently being worked on. experts say it could revolutionise early diagnosis of the disease. police are searching for a gunman who shot dead seven people in the us state of illinois. officials say the suspect

knew the victims, who were found in two homes across the street from each other. up to 39,000 homes in the north of england, scotland and northern ireland have spent a second night without power because of the damage caused by storm isha. engineers are working to reconnect homes but many are bracing themselves for more extreme weather and travel disruption as storm jocelyn now approaches. mairead smyth has the report. the damage done by storm isha. trees down across the uk, the strongest winds for some in more than a decade. a narrow escape for this driver in lincolnshire as the storm brought the unpredictable — a roof flung onto the road. and with the wind came heavy rain, causing floods in parts of cumbria and north yorkshire. waves battered the coastline from blackpool in the north west of england, to east sussex in the south east. thousands of people without power, many in remote areas warned they may not be

reconnected until today. in northern ireland, a man in his 60s died after his car crashed into a fallen tree in county londonderry. and in scotland, an 84—year—old man lost his life after the car he was in, hit a fallen tree in grangemouth. rail travel brought to a standstill in scotland. it's been travel chaos, as you can imagine. all the local transport links to central station have been cancelled. well, i did have a flight booked. the flight was cancelled. so then this booked this. this is now delayed as well. so, who knows when we'll get there? we've travelled from ayr. so we had to get a bus this morning. that was delayed, and now this is delayed. . hopefully we'll get there! the force of storm isha, now gone, with another in its wake, storm jocelyn. amber warnings for wind are in place across northern and western scotland from 6:00 this evening. scotrail say services will be

suspended from 7:00 tonight, and no rush hour services will run tomorrow morning. yellow warnings for wind are in place across the rest of scotland, northern ireland, wales and large parts of england. and yellow warnings for rain covering north west england and the west coast of scotland today. mairead smyth, bbc news. it doesn't stop. we are definitely keeping a close eye on the weather. well, carol is. i keeping a close eye on the weather. well, carol is.— well, carol is. iwas thinking, thank goodness! _ well, carol is. iwas thinking, thank goodness! good - well, carol is. i was thinking, i thank goodness! good morning everybody. as we have been hearing, storm jocelyn is coming our way today. in fact, we have already seen some of the rain associated with storm jocelyn. we could have another

60 millimetres of rain across the highlands, the southern plans, the lake district, southern wales. strengthening winds through the day. tonight the winds will peak with widespread gales and severe gales in the north. you can see the cloud in the north. you can see the cloud in the satellite picture. this is associated with storm jocelyn. it is producing some rain in the west. add a bit we have clear skies across parts of north—east scotland and north—east ingot. a touch of frost first thing with the risk of ice. the cloud posing as does the rain moving from the west to the east. the wind will also strengthen. as the rain passes the south what we find behind that is it will be cloudy with some drizzle. in the west they will be heavy showers. it is going to be a very mild day for the time of the year. here is the weather warning, the amber weather warning, from the met office, valid from 6pm until eight o'clock tomorrow morning. 55 to 65 mph

winds, locally up to 80 mph. impactful gusts. as the low pressure moves across the north of scotland tonight, the winds will peak. it would be a windy night with gales, even severe gales, but it will also be mild. it is only very slowly tomorrow that the winds will ease. in the northern half of the country it will take most of the day before that happens. we are still looking at gales for scotland, northern ireland and northern england. more cloud producing drizzle in the south as the next weather front approaches. temperatures down a touch on today but still high for the time of the year. thank you. a parliamentary inquiry, chaired by former prime minister theresa may, has called for greater awareness and treatment for eating disorders relating to type 1 diabetes. of course, theresa may herself

suffers from type one diabetes. it found there is a lack of understanding around how the two conditions are linked, and says there needs to be a joined—up approach within the nhs to tackle the issue. tim muffett has been speaking to lesley and neal davison, whose daughter megan had type 1 diabetes and an eating disorder, and took her own life. she was, i'd say, a force of nature. she was very original, very artistic, musical. she tried to cram as much into her 27 years as she possibly could. megan was diagnosed with type one diabetes when she was 16. the autoimmune condition meant her pancreas was unable to produce insulin needed to control blood—sugar levels, so she had to inject insulin every day. but what her family didn't know was that megan also had an eating disorder. if you don't take the insulin, sugar

passes straight through your body, and so you don't get the effects of having eaten it, so you don't put on weight. by restricting your insulin, you can actually lose weight at the same time. it can lead to a very, very dark place, which is where megan found herself. in 2017, aged 27, megan took her own life. in the letter she left for her parents, she spoke of the turmoil caused by having a combination of type one diabetes and an eating disorder. nobody knew how to deal with the two combined. you cannot possibly have a situation where a service—user or patient knows more about their condition than the people purportedly treating them for that condition. t1de is the name given to type one diabetes—related eating disorders. a parliamentary inquiry report published today is calling for urgent changes to save lives. it says the condition is not widely recognised or understood, and that whilst — if treated early — those with t1de can recover and live well, a lack of integrated treatment, training and support is causing preventable ill health,

and sometimes loss of life. we need better integrated services to deal with it. what happens is that those who've got type one diabetes and an eating disorder tend to be bounced around between different services. so if they need psychological support, they go to one place. if they need support from a diabetologist, they go to another place. if they need help with their feet or their eyes — which can be a complication — they have to go somewhere else. megan died in 2017, and here we are in 2024, talking about a condition which many people will not be aware of. how frustrating is that? is there a word? i mean, it seems unbelievable

that there's still very little that's changed. we loved megan unconditionally, and she asked us to help the people that she was leaving behind, who are suffering from this condition. if somebody was to say to me, "do you want sympathy or do you want action?" i'll pick action every single time. we will pursue that till the ends of the earth, because it's what megan wanted. we'rejoined now by ariella thompson, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 21, and also by hilary nathan from diabetes charity, jdrf. morning. we havejust been morning. we have just been watching that incredibly powerful report. tell us your situation? i know the story we have just heard resonates for you? story we have 'ust heard resonates for ou? . ., , story we have 'ust heard resonates for ou? . ., for you? yeah. i was diagnosed with -e one for you? yeah. i was diagnosed with type one diabetes _ for you? yeah. i was diagnosed with type one diabetes when _ for you? yeah. i was diagnosed with type one diabetes when i _ for you? yeah. i was diagnosed with type one diabetes when i was - for you? yeah. i was diagnosed with type one diabetes when i was 21. .

type one diabetes when i was 21. before i was diagnosed i actually had an eating disorder. i had bulimia. my disordered eating probably started as a young teenager. then when i was about 18, i started binging and purging, teenager. then when i was about 18, istarted binging and purging, in typical bulimic fashion, and that went on for several years. and eventually i sought treatment on the nhs. went through eating disorder therapy. and was kind of effectively recovered from the eating disorder, inasmuch as you have a can recover from an eating disorder. i stopped at the behaviour but a lot of the thoughts and feelings around food and my body image were still there. about three months after finishing the treatment for bulimia i was diagnosed with type one diabetes. and that was really very difficult because being diagnosed as type one typically comes with quite a lot of sudden weight gain and all of a sudden weight gain and all of a sudden a massive focus on food and on eating. and of course, when you

go to eating therapy they try to teach you to stop thinking about food, stop obsessing about food. there was three months later with a condition i will live with for the rest of my life that forces me to think intensely about what i put into a bout body, what i eat, and actually survive. —— into my body. that is difficult to manage when you have an eating disorder and you are aware that you can't obsess about food too closely for your own mental health. . , ., . . food too closely for your own mental health. . , ., ., ., ., food too closely for your own mental health. . ., ., ., ., . health. have you managed to balance it? it's health. have you managed to balance it? it's been — health. have you managed to balance it? it's been an _ health. have you managed to balance it? it's been an ongoing _ health. have you managed to balance it? it's been an ongoing struggle. - it? it's been an ongoing struggle. the first few _ it? it's been an ongoing struggle. the first few months _ it? it's been an ongoing struggle. the first few months weren't - it? it's been an ongoing struggle. the first few months weren't too | it? it's been an ongoing struggle. i the first few months weren't too bad because i had had the therapy so close to being diagnosed. as time went on and i have to live with diabetes for longer, i think effectively when my mental health tips and this was my diabetes gets worse, my eating disorder gets worse, my eating disorder gets worse, those sorts of feelings often come up. i have a lot of coping mechanisms in place now. i can't

count my carbohydrates too closely, i can't keep a track and things too closely because it is quite difficult. but yes, it is an ongoing struggle to make sure i don't step back in, because there are a lot of things about living with type one d —— diabetes that makes living more dangerous. i have a way of feeding into my behaviour, and that is something i'm conscious of all the time, not to slip into.— time, not to slip into. hillary, can we 'ust time, not to slip into. hillary, can we just make _ time, not to slip into. hillary, can we just make one _ time, not to slip into. hillary, can we just make one thing _ time, not to slip into. hillary, can we just make one thing really - time, not to slip into. hillary, can i we just make one thing really clear? it is a cruel irony that you have been going through this —— disordered eating and three months after your treatment you developed type one diabetes. we are not saying there is a connection between the eating disorder and the developing of type one, is that right? lillufeill. eating disorder and the developing of type one, is that right? well, we do not there _ of type one, is that right? well, we do not there is _ of type one, is that right? well, we do not there is a _ of type one, is that right? well, we do not there is a higher _ of type one, is that right? well, we do not there is a higher risk - of type one, is that right? well, we do not there is a higher risk with i do not there is a higher risk with people _ do not there is a higher risk with people of— do not there is a higher risk with people of developing an eating disorder— people of developing an eating disorder while living with type one. there _ disorder while living with type one. there is— disorder while living with type one. there is a — disorder while living with type one. there is a relentless focus on food. not necessarily the other way round. we do _ not necessarily the other way round. we do know— not necessarily the other way round. we do know there is heightened risk. we do know there is heightened risk. we do _ we do know there is heightened risk. we do know—

"my daughter as type one and she is 16. diagnosed at 14, she is in a very dark place because of it. there is no help out there. people are unaware what a serious, complicated disease this is. your whole life has to revolve around food." so, there we have a young girl in a very difficult situation. what would you say to her and herfamily? i difficult situation. what would you say to her and her family?- say to her and her family? i think ou have say to her and her family? i think you have to _ say to her and her family? i think you have to live _ say to her and her family? i think you have to live with _ say to her and her family? i think you have to live with type - say to her and her family? i think you have to live with type one i you have to live with type one diabetes forever. and there is no other way around that. but i think it's about my for me at least, it's about the way i have coped with this, to try not to obsess too much. as much as that is hard and there is

a lot of perfectionism that comes with type one diabetes. and with an eating is —— eating disorder too. you have to put some of that aside and accept slightly less than perfect levels because ultimately doing it somewhat of a way better is going to look after your health better than just completely stepping away from managing your diabetes. and that is as good as you can hope for sometimes. and that is as good as you can hope forsometimes. it and that is as good as you can hope for sometimes.— for sometimes. it must be so hard for sometimes. it must be so hard for the family. _ for sometimes. it must be so hard for the family, especially - for sometimes. it must be so hard for the family, especially when - for sometimes. it must be so hard for the family, especially when it i for the family, especially when it is a young person like that, because mum and dad can't help but obsess as well, hilary, can they?— well, hilary, can they? really, really hard- — well, hilary, can they? really, really hard. what _ well, hilary, can they? really, really hard. what we _ well, hilary, can they? really, really hard. what we would i well, hilary, can they? really,| really hard. what we would say well, hilary, can they? really, i really hard. what we would say is first of— really hard. what we would say is first of all. — really hard. what we would say is first of all, there are forms of information and support out there, both on— information and support out there, both on our— information and support out there, both on our website. the eating disorders— both on our website. the eating disorders charity has lots of support _ disorders charity has lots of support as well. talk to your gp, your— support as well. talk to your gp, your diabetes specialist, family, friends — your diabetes specialist, family, friends. there is support. having a conversation is that first step. but

merry way. we look forward to meeting them. i have been having a look around. i am in the toddler room. emma and hayley working hard. this board here, some of the lovely messaging there tells you how early these messages begin for kids. i am kind to everyone. i enjoy working hard. i am kind to everyone. i enjoy working hard. iam part kind to everyone. i enjoy working hard. i am part of a family. i keep hard. iam part ofa family. i keep to hard. i am part of a family. i keep to rules. this is the role that the early years settings have in terms of getting kids on the right track from an early age. this is why this increased funding has been promised by the chancellor. from april of this year, in less than ten weeks, the promises that working parents of two—year—olds would be entitled to 15 hours of childcare. that is supposed to be the first step, encouraging more people to get back to work. we have heard from so many childcare providers this morning. i will take you through a couple of messages. a village preschool operating for more than 50 years, they say over four years their wage bill has increased by 30%. they are currently charging £6.53 for a fee

paying children, but they only get £4.80 from the council per hour per child. so they are losing £1.73 per hour per child. that would be under this new scheme as well. someone else says that harriet, who runs this preschool where we are, was correct when she said the government must stop calling this free childcare. it is funded childcare. that funding, they say, is insufficient. another saying, we are not at all prepared for this influx of children. without certain confirmation that we will be getting the right funding. staff are already overworked and underpaid. this message from whatsapp. this could be one solution. have your child stay at home in the formative years. it is that simple. as we know it is not that simple for every family. these increases in hours would make an enormous difference. it is whether and when that funding will be ready. the government says the glitches in the system in terms of obtaining

that have been ironed out. they say places will be ready. however, people who work in childcare say that simply won't be the case. we will be hearing from both sides after eight o'clock, as well as importantly, meeting some lovely small people. for now... now it's time for the news, travel and weather were you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. survivors of the grenfell tower fire and those who lost loved ones in the tragedy will speak about the ongoing impact of the disaster at a special testimony week which starts today. 72 people died in the fire in 2017. this week's event forms part of a compensation settlement and will involve speeches, film and art work. kensington and chelsea council and the london fire brigade are two of the organisations that will attend. cladding manufacturer arconic has said it regrets that no representatives can be there. tower hamlets, newham, hackney and barking and dagenham have the highest child poverty

rates in london. that's according to the latest data from thejoseph rowntree foundation. all four local authorities have child poverty rates over 40%. the average for london as a whole is 33% — which equates to around 700,000 children living in poverty. richmond upon thames has the lowest rate at 12%. victoria park in east london will soon be able to run more major events, with thousands more people attending. tower hamlets council approved the plans. it hopes it will help to generate more income, boost local businesses and give people more to do in the park. but some residents are concerned about the changes. we have a very young borough — there's lots of children, lots of families in cramped accommodation. and if you come here in the summer, you can see people having birthday parties and all sorts of celebrations in the park. and we just want to make sure that the park can be used by everyone. the uk's first indoor baseball and softball centre is set to open

today in brent cross. the 108 centre will open inside brent cross town — a newly built living, business and shopping district. it will support everything from elite training to youth and social games. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. some further wet and windy weather is on its way, courtesy of storm jocelyn. it will be a chilly start with a few showers, and then it will become wet and windy and milder. as the storm arrives in from the west, it won't be as significant as storm isha for us, but it will certainly bring some strong winds and some outbreaks of rain at times. and you can see that rain arriving in from the west during the day today. there will be a lot of cloud around, as well, and we're drawing in that milder air. temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius, and there may be wind gusts of around 40 to 45 miles per hour.

those winds will strengthen for a time as we head through tonight, but that system will tend to clear, and then it will become drier by the end of the night with clearer spells, and temperatures dipping to around eight to ten celsius — so certainly it will be a milder start to the day tomorrow compared with today. and as we look ahead, well, we are expecting plenty of fine dry weather tomorrow with some sunshine around. the winds will gradually start to ease and it remains quite mild for the next few days — but still quite unsettled. i'll be back with another next update in half an hour. now it's back to sally and jon. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's return to our top story this morning. some dramatic, significant events in

the middle east overnight. the us and uk have carried out further coordinated air strikes against houthi targets in yemen, in response to the group's attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. the houthis claim they're targeting ships linked to israel because of its military operation in gaza. the defence secretary grant shapps said the action was taken in self—defence and would "deal another blow" to the iranian—backed fighters. the us military confirmed the air strikes were against eight targets. in the last few mintues, the foreign secretary lord cameron has been speaking about the strikes. this is what he had to say since we last took action ten days ago, there have been over 12 tax on shipping by the houthis in the red sea. these attacks are illegal and unacceptable and what we have done again is sent the clearest possible message that we will continue to degrade their ability to carry out these attacks whilst ascending the

clearest possible message that we back our words and our warnings with action. david cameron talking just a few moments ago. we david cameron talking 'ust a few moments «at david cameron talking 'ust a few moments ago. we will keep across that story and _ moments ago. we will keep across that story and have _ moments ago. we will keep across that story and have more - moments ago. we will keep across that story and have more from - moments ago. we will keep across that story and have more from our| that story and have more from our correspondence but for now we are talking football. ads, correspondence but for now we are talking football.— talking football. a huge night for middlesbrough _ talking football. a huge night for middlesbrough fans, _ talking football. a huge night for middlesbrough fans, they - talking football. a huge night for middlesbrough fans, they are i talking football. a huge night for- middlesbrough fans, they are leading chelsea at the moment in their league cup semifinal, we are at the halfway stage, the second leg tonight in stamford bridge. a big night for them because it was 20 years, last time they won the league cup so could they do it again, get to the final?— cup so could they do it again, get to the final?_ it - cup so could they do it again, get l to the final?_ it would to the final? they want it. it would be a hue to the final? they want it. it would be a huge moment. _ to the final? they want it. it would be a huge moment. their- to the final? they want it. it would j be a huge moment. their manager to the final? they want it. it would i be a huge moment. their manager has done a brilliantjob to get them here so a really special night for them. �* . ~ here so a really special night for them. . . ,, ., , ., them. are we taking a trip down memory lane? _ them. are we taking a trip down memory lane? we _ them. are we taking a trip down memory lane? we are _ them. are we taking a trip down memory lane? we are a i them. are we taking a trip down memory lane? we are a bit, i them. are we taking a trip down i memory lane? we are a bit, keep your e es memory lane? we are a bit, keep your eyes peeled. — memory lane? we are a bit, keep your eyes peeled. see _ memory lane? we are a bit, keep your eyes peeled, see if _ memory lane? we are a bit, keep your eyes peeled, see if you _ memory lane? we are a bit, keep your eyes peeled, see if you can _ eyes peeled, see if you can recognise some of these faces. keep your eyes peeled for a very young gareth southgate after one of the most memorable days in the club's history. they are one match away from knocking out chelsea

and reaching the final. no surprises the fans are dreaming, as katie gornall�*s been finding out. look closely, you'll see some familiar faces. 20 years ago, gareth southgate and the whole of middlesbrough celebrated. they brought home the league cup — so far the only major trophy in the club's history. 0oh, find yourself in there. for those who were there, they were special times. won't be able to spot me. i did have a full head of hair back in 2004, as well. thejoy in actually winning something, having supported the team since the 1960s, and then to go and win there was outstanding. what would it mean to the town for boro to reach another cup final? in the last ten years we've been pretty much a championship side barring one season, so to now have this again, it gets you excited thinking, my days, this actually can happen — middlesbrough can do something again. if we get to wembley now it would be unbelievable. however, what i will say is, if we don't get there, so what?

what this has done for the area, and will continue to do for the football club beyond this, we've already won in my eyes. now middlesbrough's biggest name is in the dugout. michael carrick won this competition three times as a player with manchester united. as a manager in the championship, he's built a young team with teesside at its core. it was here at the riverside two weeks ago that local lad hayden hackney scored in that goal over there to give middlesbrough a slender 1—0 lead in this cup tie. now they travel to stamford bridge, hoping to upset the odds again. hi, mark. guess where i am. how are you? 0ne middlesbrough legend knows the challenge that lies ahead. what do you think they have to do against chelsea? they've got to play probably some of the best football in their whole lives. there's no doubting that chelsea are favourites and i think overwhelming favourites. the cost of the squad playing in the premier league by comparison. but as we all know, that doesn't necessarily buy you success and doesn't mean that you have the better team. they're in it. there's no doubt about it whatsoever. and theyjust have to make sure they stay in the game as long as they possibly can to hopefully,

hopefully get an opportunity to capitalise on any mistakes maybe that chelsea might make. the job is only half done for middlesbrough against chelsea, but the players have fans dreaming once again. over to you, john. you've got to be optimistic. yeah, yeah. my father used to say to me, you can be an optimist, you can be a pessimist. you choose. it doesn't make any difference to the outcome, but the optimist has a better time waiting for it. and that's exactly right. can't argue with that, like. that's superb. katie gornall, bbc news, middlesbrough. love that, i think we can all channel a little bit ofjohn this morning. he has been the face of english rugby for years — his country's talisman — but 0wen farrell's move to france at the end of the season, brings an end to his international career for now. racing 92 have announced he's signed a two year deal — bringing to an end a 15 year career at saracens — where he made his debut at 17. the move means farrell — who stepped down as england captain in november — will no longer be eligible to play for his country — as the rfu does not allow players

based abroad to be selected for england. farrell had already stepped back from international selection and wasn't going to be a part of the up coming six nations campaign to protect his mental health. the man who's replaced him — jamie george — says he was honoured to be asked to lead his country in his place and gave his view on farrell's move. each individual is very different — what they decide to do for themselves and their careers and theirfamilies is, you know, whatever�*s right for them. the rules are very clear — if you choose to not play in england then you won't be able to represent your country. that for me is a choice that those guys have made, they're very clear about that. you can never hold it against someone for making that decision because ultimately, you know, they are very entitled to choose how their career goes. at the australian open, britain's alfie hewett begun the defence of his wheelchair singles title with a straight sets win againstjapan's takashi sanada. hewitt win 6—1, 7—5 and will play alexander cataldo of chile hewett win 6—1, 7—5 and will play alexander cataldo of chile

hewett won 6—1, 7—5 and will play alexander cataldo of chile in the quarter—finals. british fourth seed gordon reid also won, comfortably beating dutch player maikel scheffers. 0vernight coco gauff reached the semi—finals in the women's draw, beating marta kostyuk of ukraine in three sets. she'll face the winner of the match between aryna sabalenka and barbora krejcikova. and there's just two days to go until england's first test series of 2024 gets underway — as they face india over five matches — but the hosts will be without their star man for the first two of them. batter and former captain virat kohli has withdrawn for the first two tests because of personal reasons. kohli hasn't missed a test for india for more than two years and his announcement comes just a day after england batter harry brook returned to the uk — also for personal reasons. it will be a fascinating test for england, such a hard place to win. india is so strong at home and we

will get a sense of how good england are with the weight they have been playing. back to you guys. thank ou. it might be milder this week. after the bitterly cold temperatures we saw earlier this month, one charity says it expects this to be its busiest winter forfamilies needing help with energy—related debt. citizens advice found that more than two million people in britain will have their gas and electricity cut off this winter, because they cannot afford to top up their pre—payment meter. its survey found that one in four people cannot afford their essential bills. and one in ten households have had to borrow money in the past six months to cover their energy costs. the charity also said that half of those in debt to their energy supplier have turned off the heating in their homes, with some unable to make a hot meal or take a warm shower. we're joined now by rosi avis from citizens advice. morning. really quite shocking

falling in the highlands, yorkshire dales, midlands and wales. the rivers are already sensitive to moray. as the rain pulls away from the south—east you will find the south will remain cloudy, there will be drizzly conditions and behind the main band of rain in the north—west we see a return to bright spells but also some heavy showers. temperatures widely 11 to 14 degrees. these are the kind of gusts we can expect through the afternoon. they are picking up, 37, 38, 40 mph but the met office has this amber weather warning tomorrow. we can expect some impact. gusts of wind in this amber weather warning 55 to 65 mph but the risk of 80 mph gusts and yesterday's storm isha did a lot of damage and things will have been weakened so we could see further trees down or potentially some structural damage, possibly even some power cuts. something to be

aware of. as we head through the evening and overnight the rain heads south, this is a stornjocelyn moving across the north of scotland, when the winds will peak. there is a big squeeze on those isobars. temperatures tonight falling away to about six to 11 degrees north to south. tomorrow will start off very windy, there will be gales across northern england and scotland start the day and it is only very slowly that the wind will start to moderate. it will take most of the day for the northern half of the country for that to happen. a largely dry day tomorrow, a few showers peppering the north and west. a bit more cloud coming in later in the day across the south—west with some dank conditions and that is another weather front that will come our way. coming in from the south—west and pushing northwards as we go through the course of their stay. a cloudy day on thursday, a lot of low cloud. the rain mostly coming in across western areas and once again temperatures on thursday, this is what you can

expect. up to about 13 degrees. you were right, john, when you said it would be unseasonably mild but we will have cooler spells into the weekend but there is a lot to play for. a, . weekend but there is a lot to play for. , , . . for. maybe i could be a weather forecaster- _ john, here is the clicker! laughter good luck to all of us if you are the weather forecaster. oh, good luck to all of us if you are the weatherforecaster. oh, my goodness. look at this... the latest series of strictly come dancing may have ended just before christmas, but for those who can't get enough of the glitter, sequins and sparkle, the strictly live uk tour has started. former coronation street actor ellie leach and professional dancer vito coppola won the glitterball trophy and they've dusted off their dancing shoes to take part in the tour. let's remind ourselves of some of their performances. introducing... # if you go hard you

good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. survivors of the grenfell tower fire and those who lost loved ones in the tragedy, will speak about the ongoing impact of the disaster at a special testimony week, which starts today. 72 people died in the fire in 2017. this week's event forms part of a compensation settlement and will involve speeches, film and art work. cladding manufacturer arconic has said it regrets that no representatives can be there. tower hamlets, newham, hackney and barking and dagenham have the highest child poverty rates in london. that's according to the latest data from thejoseph rowntree foundation. all four local authorities have child poverty rates over a0%. richmond upon thames has the lowest rate at 12%. moo e—bikes are to be added to the santander cycle rental scheme. it more than triples the current stock. the new bikes will be

on the streets in the summer. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. a bright start this morning, but cloud will thicken and there will be rain at times. turning windier later, with a risk of gales. highs of 11; degrees celsius. i'll be back with another next update in half an hour. now it's back to sally and jon. have a very good morning. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. us and british forces carry out fresh strikes against houthi targets in yemen in response to their attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea.

the pentagon said eight targets were hit. the defence secretary grant shapps says the strikes were in "self—defence". these attacks are illegal, they are unacceptable. and what we have done again is send the clearest possible message that we will continue to degrade their ability to carry out these attacks. thousands of homes remain withour power following storm isha, as the uk braces itself for storm jocelyn. good morning. storm jocelyn will bring heavy rain and strengthening winds as we go through to day. but the wind will pick tonight with widespread gales and severe gales for some. impacts are likely. no family should miss out on the extension of free childcare hours. that is the latest

pledge from the government. with less than ten weeks to go and questions remaining, campaigners say they are in denial. farewell, owen farrell — england's leading points scorer moves to france at the end of the season brining an end to his international career for now. good morning. it's tuesday, 23rd january. the us and uk have carried out more coordinated air strikes against houthi targets in yemen, in response to the group's attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. the uk defence secretary grant shapps said the strikes would "deal another blow" to the iranian—backed fighters. the houthis claim they're targeting ships linked to israel because of its military operation in gaza. our north america correspondent david willis reports. royal air forcejets, armed with precision guided bombs, joined us forces to rain missiles on houthi targets, prompting explosions which rocked the capital sanaa and other parts of yemen in the early

hours of tuesday morning. us officials said among the targets was a weapons storage site buried deep underground. the uk ministry of defence said they hit multiple targets at two military sites in the vicinity of sanaa airfield. this was the second round of military action undertaken jointly on the part of the us and the uk. a previous effort 12 days ago, coupled with half a dozen attacks mounted by the us alone, has so far failed to stop the houthis. are the air strikes in yemen working? well, when you say working, are they stopping the houthis? no. are they going to continue? yes — before the latest strikes, houthi leaders had vowed to continue their attacks on shipping in the red sea as part of a show of support for palestinians caught up in the war with israel. however, the defence secretary, grant shapps, predicted this latest mission would erode the houthis' ability to threaten global trade.

yet more than 30 attacks on commercial vessels navigating a key route for world trade have already prompted fears of inflation, as freight supplies are delayed or re—routed. added to which, iran's backing of the rebels raises the troubling possibility of a broader conflict in the middle east. david willis, bbc news, washington. our chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from westminster. i know this is a developing story in the last few hours. what political reaction has there been? the last time, 12 reaction has there been? the last time. 12 days _ reaction has there been? the last time, 12 days ago, _ reaction has there been? the last time, 12 days ago, when - reaction has there been? the last time, 12 days ago, when the i reaction has there been? the last time, 12 days ago, when the uk l time, 12 days ago, when the uk joined us strikes on houthi targets in yemen, it was pretty clear it was taking place in advance. you had grant shapps, the defence secretary, rolling the page, you had an emergency cabinet meeting. the labour leader was called in for a briefing. this time it came out of

nowhere. there was a sudden statement yesterday evening from the ministry of defence announcing these strikes had taken place. it is really this morning and today that the government will have to explain why it took the actions it did. we have been hearing from lord cameron, the former —— foreign secretary. since we last took action ten days a-o since we last took action ten days ago there — since we last took action ten days ago there have been over 12 attacks on shipping by the houthis in the red sea — on shipping by the houthis in the red sea. these attacks are illegal, they are _ red sea. these attacks are illegal, they are unacceptable, and what we have done _ they are unacceptable, and what we have done again is send the clearest possible _ have done again is send the clearest possible message that we will continue to degrade their ability to carry out— continue to degrade their ability to carry out these attacks, whilst sending — carry out these attacks, whilst sending the serious to correct my clearest _ sending the serious to correct my clearest possible message that we back our— clearest possible message that we back our words and warnings with action _ action. two other points action. — two other points he has been making this morning worth noting. one, he is causing people not to believe the houthis' narrative that this is a solidarity strikes on ships bound to or linked to israel. he says that is completely untrue. they have been

targeting ships in the red sea indiscriminately in a way that threatens global shipping routes. including aid supplies from the uk to yemen. the second point he has been making is that this is not a sign of failure. the strikes i2 been making is that this is not a sign of failure. the strikes 12 days ago did have an impact in degrading the houthis' ability to carry out further strikes but that more strikes need to take place to degrade their abilities again. now those are some of the questions, some of the debates, that i think will be happening today. i expect rishi sunak will make a statement in parliament. sir keir starmer, the labour leader, who was not briefed in advance like he was last time, want to press rishi sunak on what the strategy is going forward, and also, of course, why the uk —— whether the uk is embroiled in something more long—term here. thank you. jon has more on the situation in israel. indeed. the israeli military says yesterday was the deadliest day for its forces since the start of its ground operation in gaza, with 21 reservists killed.

it comes as the palestinian death toll in the territory surpassed 25,000 over the weekend. we'rejoined now by our middle east correspondent yolande knell. dramatic developments on the ground, in the conflict and also, in the politics, the diplomacy of all this, this morning?— this morning? yes, you are right. the lsraeli _ this morning? yes, you are right. the israeli military _ this morning? yes, you are right. the israeli military has _ this morning? yes, you are right. the israeli military has given i the israeli military has given everything to us this morning in which it confirms —— confirmed that there were 21 reservists killed in one incident in the centre of the gaza strip. it says that a missile hit a tank which was close to two buildings were its forces were operating. it is thought to buildings collapsed because there had been explosives planted inside them to demolish them. they were another three soldiers killed yesterday in the south of the gaza strip. it is khan younis that remains the main focus of israel's

operations in gaza. it is a stronghold of hamas. the white house has called on israel overnight to protect innocent civilians that are sheltering in the hospitals as well as the medics and patients there because you have three hospitals that are reporting israeli action very close by. in fact, one of them, we are hearing it was stormed by israeli forces. there is another where israeli tanks are said to be surrounding it, it is the headquarters of the palestinian red president. —— red crescent. israel says hamas operates in and around the hospital. this is denied. one report this morning is saying that israel has proposed to put to hamas the idea of having a ceasefire of up to two months. during that time all of the hostages could be released. previously what we know is that hamas has said it will not release those 100 plus hostages until there

was a complete ceasefire, until there is a complete withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza. interesting. thank you. several ukrainian have been killed — and more injured — after russia fired missiles across the country overnight. officials say this building in kyiv was hit during the longest air raid since the start of january. two women died in kharkiv after a strike on a residential building, and two others were killed in the dnipro region. scotland's national clinical director, professorjason leitch, will appear before the uk covid inquiry later, and will be questioned over deleting informal government whatsapp messages. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon has been following the proceedings. there is a lot of talk about these whatsapp messages to everybody involved? .,

whatsapp messages to everybody involved? . ., , ., ., involved? yeah, it was a theme of the hearings _ involved? yeah, it was a theme of the hearings in _ involved? yeah, it was a theme of the hearings in london _ involved? yeah, it was a theme of the hearings in london before i the hearings in london before christmas when westminster politicians were questioned on their response to the pandemic. it is becoming a theme in the questions here too. we heard at the end of last week that a series of messages that had been retained by another official said in that series of messages, whatsapp deletion is a pre—bedtime ritual. he will be undoubtedly questioned on that today. it is in contrast to the public role he had. he was often seen at those daily briefings led by the then first minister, nicola sturgeon. he was across the airwaves doing repeated radio and television interviews. he was seen as a clinician who was a very effective communicator, trying to distil down

often confusing messages about what the public should do in terms of social distancing, in terms of seeing family, in terms of visiting relatives in care homes. he was front and centre of the messaging to the public here in scotland. what the public here in scotland. what the inquiry will be trying to get to the inquiry will be trying to get to the bottom of it is the scenes. it's an attempt to try and get a complete picture of what drove the decision making here in scotland. and what made the decisions about when they diverged and when they converged on policy, as opposed to westminster. who was making the decisions? why would they making those decisions? and what drove the timing on them as well? those are the kinds of questions professor leitch will be asked today. thank you very much. survivors of the grenfell tower fire say they will be a voice for the 72 people who died, as they share the impact the 2017 disaster has had on them during a new four—day event.

grenfell testimony week is part of a settlement agreement and campaigners say they'll use it to call for change. it is completely independent of the ongoing grenfell tower inquiry which is due to publish its report in 202a. the government has suffered its first defeat in the house of lords over its plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. peers backed an advisory motion calling on ministers to delay a treaty with the country until they can demonstrate that rwanda is safe. the government says it won't be deterred by people trying to frustrate its policies for political reasons. a simple blood test could detect alzheimer's up to 15 years before symptoms emerge. trials in sweden found it is better than a range of other tests that are being worked on, and less painful than procedues that require an injection into the spine. experts say it could revolutionise early diagnosis of the disease.

up to 39,000 homes in the north of england, scotland and northern ireland have spent a second night without power because of the damage caused by storm isha. engineers are working to reconnect homes but many are bracing themselves for more extreme weather and travel disruption as storm jocelyn now approaches. mairead smyth has the report. the damage done by storm isha. trees down across the uk, the strongest winds for some in more than a decade. a narrow escape for this driver in lincolnshire as the storm brought the unpredictable — a roof flung onto the road. and with the wind came heavy rain, causing floods in parts of cumbria and north yorkshire. waves battered the coastline from blackpool in the north west of england, to east sussex in the south east.

rain coming into the west already. you can expect heavy rain today, strengthening winds. it is denied the winds will peak with widespread heavy gales and severe gales in the north. bear in mind after storm isha, some structural damage as possible as well as some trees, which may well have been weakened in storm isha, now facing storm jocelyn. we have had a dry start in the east. it is not long until this rain puts himself in the west to the east. heavy rain across the highlands, the opulence, the lake district, yorkshire dales and north wales. a further 50 millimetres of rainfall this morning —— today falling on sensitive rivers. as the rain pulls away from the south, we will be left with a lot of cloud, murky, juicy and damp conditions. as it moves away from the north west, bright spells with showers. temperatures ii to 111 widely. above what we expect that this time of year. the met office has a number weather warning out from six o'clock

reassured parents in england that they will receive further help with childcare, as promised. it comes amid warnings that the application process is baffling for parents. nina's at a nursery in warrington this morning and can tell us more. they have just open the doors. the kids have arrived. good luck! yeah, good morning. harry isjust teaching me good luck! yeah, good morning. harry is just teaching me some jumping. are you ready? one, two, three... are you ready? one, two, three... are you ready? one, two, three... are you jumping? look at that. well done, my darling. are you coming on the slide? well done. you can see from harry and the gang here how important these settings are. kids having fun. a safe home away from home. also, those important education lessons are starting from an important days. there was that pledge in the budget last year from the chancellor to increase hours.

that was to free up more of the workforce. let's remind ourselves of those pledges. from april of this year working parents of two—year—olds entitled to 15 hours of real childcare. an extension in september. —— free childcare. by next year the pledge was that children under five would get 30 hours forfree. children under five would get 30 hours for free. transformational for many families, for many people intending to return to work. both parents have to be working, neither parents have to be working, neither parent can earn £100,000 or more. those proposed savings saving your family with a two—year—old more than £6,000 a year on average. welcome news for some of these parents in birmingham. i wouldn't be able to go back full time if i needed to because it is so expensive. we have got the government coming and like that, it will be great. it allows me to go back to work.— will be great. it allows me to go back to work. ., , ., �* back to work. the three hours don't cover school — back to work. the three hours don't cover school holidays. _ back to work. the three hours don't cover school holidays. i _ back to work. the three hours don't cover school holidays. i work - back to work. the three hours don't cover school holidays. i work in i back to work. the three hours don't cover school holidays. i work in the | cover school holidays. i work in the nhs and _ cover school holidays. i work in the nhs and my—

job this morning. can i interrupt thejungle play? we have got work job this morning. can i interrupt the jungle play? we have got work to do. is this reflective of what you are hearing from most childcare providers? first of all, the shortfall, £1 or more per hour per child for some providers. on top of that, the matter have time they have been given to prepare without details in place?— been given to prepare without detailsin lace? ~ , a details in place? absolutely. across the country — details in place? absolutely. across the country providers _ details in place? absolutely. across the country providers are _ details in place? absolutely. across the country providers are concerned about the amount of money they are being given. we know this sector has been neglected for a decade. even the institute for fiscal studies. it is notjust me saying that. independent bodies have said that we are actually 10% worse off than we were a decade ago. so first of all, it is the funding that is a major issue. against a backdrop of record closures, we have seen more nurseries, childminders, preschools, go nurseries, childminders, preschools, 9° by nurseries, childminders, preschools, go by the wayside. we have a recruitment and retention crisis that we have never witnessed before. we have a reduction in places. so to

actually launch the government to pass biggest initiative against a backdrop of chaos doesn't sound like a great idea. —— government's. the a great idea. -- government's. the government — a great idea. —— government's. the government says it is not chaotic, the funding is there, more than £1 billion going in to make sure these places are provided. they said yesterday those places will be ready for the families who need them? i listen to the debate yesterday in the house of commons and it sounded to me as if the minister thought everything was absolutely wonderful. i come back to the point, why is it therefore we have got record closures and a recruitment crisis? i'm afraid it doesn't wash with me. lots of parents have really welcomed this news. the proof will be in the next ten weeks. the government telling us there were some places in the system with the voucher codes. they should be sent now. as a reminder in here of how important, how educational these settings are, harry, where is harry? harry, mate? he has been teaching me a song and dance. i know you know it. are you

ready? # all the grand old duke of york he had 10,000 men... are you joining in? # and when they are up, they are up. # and when they are up, they are up. # and when they are down, they are down... she is free styling! cheering. if you are not on your feet... i will be really cross! we are doing it. well done. ithink i will be really cross! we are doing it. well done. i think the staffing crisis has been solved in warrington. nina is doing a greatjob. look at harry. he is taking it very seriously. if you are wondering, thatis seriously. if you are wondering, that is not one of nina's children. she has not taken her case. i did love the soundtrack going on in the background. is that someone crying?

no, it is someone singing. great. it is 25 past eight. this is a fantastic story of communities coming together. a pensioner from swindon says she's "over the moon" to be back home, after her mouldy house was transformed by friends and volunteers. patricia had become chronically ill from black mould which covered her walls and furniture. but now, thanks to the help of more than 150 people, the 70—year—old has been able to return home. laura jones went to meet her. back home at last. go and have have a look. oh, it's so beautiful. this is the first time in two long months that patricia has set foot in the house she's lived in for 50 years. i know it sounds silly, but even if i'm on holiday, i get homesick. ijust love my home. at the end of november, she had to suddenly move out. and you can see why. astonishingly, the 70—year—old former honda worker had been living like this for several years.

a few problems with damp left untreated had escalated and escalated. it was black, smelly... ..disgusting. you'd have to watch where you walk because there was water leaking. the mice would just, like, be running in here. the rats, i would hang the radiator in the hallway and hope that they would run, so i could go and make a cup of tea. the pandemic meant no visitors, so no one knew, and pat wasn't sure what to do or who to turn to. how do you ask for help when your house is so disgusting? so you just left it? and left it. and obviously it just got worse and worse and worse. happily, she did eventually confide in herfriend jan. i was absolutely mortified. i could not believe anyone was living like that.

it was the most shocking thing i've ever seen. jan got her friend sandra involved, who set up a fundraising campaign. jan moved pat into her home whilst the damp specialists moved in here. this is as bad as a house ever got. we've seen houses get close to it, i but this is as bad as a house — l this is as bad as a house i can get, because basically we've had to destroy the house to rebuild it, so... _ you know, this was a charity thing, and i put a lot- of time in after hours. during the day as well, john sent people herel when we needed them, - and we felt like it was something we needed to do. we needed to do — not. should do, needed to do — because this lady is living in squalor, really. - over the course ofjust eight weeks, the transformation in here, as you can see, has been astonishing. and it's all thanks to pat's friends and members of the local community, who've worked day and night, and for nothing, to get this done. oh, it's absolutely amazing what they've done for me. absolutely amazing. it's just like to show home. everything is so, so beautiful. lovely central heating, working, it's wonderful.

hot water?! that was my saddest part of life, no hot water. she's immensely grateful to everyone. and whilst the years living in the damp have damaged pat's health, she is on the mend and is now very much looking forward to the simple things. invite my friends round for a cup of tea, so that would be lovely, that they can call in and see me on their way home from work, which is wonderful. it's going to make a big difference, isn't it? it is. make my life normal again. laura jones, bbc news. well done to everybody who helped with that. that smile. just great. she has got hot water now. what a difference. coming up to half past eight. at half past nine it will be morning live. gethin and michelle

can tell us what is on the show. coming up — mortgage rates are being slashed by some of the biggest lenders. finance expert laura pomfret tells us if now is the right time to lock in a new deal, and has the cheapest offers, hot off the press this morning. also today, we're investigating how homes are being left unsellable, because of a type of insulation called spray foam, which has even been backed by the government. how on earth can _ a householder, like myself end up liable for something when we're trying - to do something good to insulate our home? - it's unsellable, _ you know, and unmortgageable. and we've found companies still selling the product who aren't being upfront about the risks involved. plus, major high street chains are stocking food and drink claiming to transform your gut health. dr xand explains if they're all a waste of money. these products don't come cheap, but having good gut health - is something everyone should care about, as it helps— your heart and brain.

i'll tell you how to outsmart supermarkets by putting - fibre—rich foods like beansl and broccoli in your basket. also today, over 90% of pet owners don't know what to do if their cat or dog has a medical emergency. vet drjames greenwood shows us the life—saving techniques including pet cpr, which every owner needs to know. and, we had a huge response when we spoke about sleep yesterday. spencer kelly's here with his pick of the bargain gadgets to help you get a full night's rest, including a pillow that claims to stop you from snoring. see you at 9:30. one thing! one thing i know aboutjon kay, terrible snorer. honestly. nightmare, apparently. see you at 9:30am! how dare you?! are they walls that thing? with no

evidence whatsoever! he looks like a snorer! i thought that was our little secret. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. survivors of the grenfell tower fire and those who lost loved ones in the tragedy will speak about the ongoing impact of the disaster at a special testimony week which starts today. 72 people died in the fire in 2017. this week's event forms part of a compensation settlement and will involve speeches, film and art work. kensington and chelsea council and the london fire brigade are two of the organisations that will attend. cladding manufacturer arconic has said it regrets that no representatives can be there.

tower hamlets, newham, hackney and barking and dagenham have the highest child poverty rates in london. that's according to the latest data from thejoseph rowntree foundation. all four local authorities have child poverty rates over a0%. the average for london as a whole is 33% — which equates to around 700,000 children living in poverty. richmond upon thames has the lowest rate at 12%. victoria park in east london will soon be able to run more major events, with thousands more people attending. tower hamlets council approved the plans. it hopes it will help to generate more income, boost local businesses and give people more to do in the park. but some residents are concerned about the changes. we have a very young borough — there's lots of children, lots of families in cramped accommodation. and if you come here in the summer, you can see people having birthday parties and all sorts of celebrations in the park. and we just want to make sure that the park can be used by everyone. the uk's first indoor baseball

and softball centre is set to open today in brent cross. the 108 centre will open inside brent cross town — a newly built living, business and shopping district. it will support everything from elite training to youth and social games. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. some further wet and windy weather is on its way, courtesy of storm jocelyn. it will be a chilly start with a few showers, and then it will become wet and windy and milder. as the storm arrives in from the west, it won't be as significant as storm isha for us, but it will certainly bring some strong winds and some outbreaks of rain at times. and you can see that rain arriving in from the west during the day today. there will be a lot of cloud around, as well, and we're drawing in that milder air. temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius,

and there may be wind gusts of around a0 to 45 miles per hour. those winds will strengthen for a time as we head through tonight, but that system will tend to clear, and then it will become drier by the end of the night with clearer spells, and temperatures dipping to around eight to ten celsius — so certainly it will be a milder start to the day tomorrow compared with today. and as we look ahead, well, we are expecting plenty of fine dry weather tomorrow with some sunshine around. the winds will gradually start to ease and it remains quite mild for the next few days — but still quite unsettled. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. now it's back to sally and jon. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's take a look now at an issue that has been described as "a plague on society". these videos show an emerging online trend — often involving stolen off—road bikes and quads — that police say is fuelling illegal

and antisocial behaviour. as you can see, the vehicles are being driven recklessly, often through public spaces, all filmed for hits and likes on social media. our reporterjim connolly has been out on patrol with cleveland police. engines revving. up and down the country, communities are being terrorised by gangs on illegal off—road bikes and quads. and the police are warning an emerging new trend on social media is fuelling the problem. riders provoke the authorities, and getting likes on places like tiktok is what it's all about. tiktok told us it doesn't allow videos that promote breaking the law, and it removes those that do. the company says this is an issue across social media. last year, across the uk, nearly 211,000 bikes were stolen. often these vehicles are used anti—socially — a real problem in places like teesside.

one thing high on senior officers' minds are self—styled dingers. for the misery they cause to our communities. they steal bikes to ride in an anti—social, illegal and dangerous way — often with showing off on social media in mind. there is a youth culture that thinks it's acceptable to take a motorbike, take a quad, ride it in an anti—social manner, and then upload it onto social media. they're very much like a community bike, so they will pass it from one individual to another individual. so a real plague to society. yeah, this car park and the field here. chris says his family's dream of a quiet life has been destroyed by off—road bikes, cars and anti—social behaviour. you can see anything from eight to 15 on a bad night. they all congregate in there, making as much noise as possible and causing as much trouble as possible. engines revving. it scares my daughter because she has autism.

we wanted the lovely, peaceful life. we wanted to wake up in the morning and look out the window and see the field and everything else, and... we just... i think we just keep the blind shut now. we're at our tether with it all, it's like hell living around here. what's next? what's your next move? this is our dream home. this is our first—ever home we bought. we're looking at... we're never going to get peace. we're going to have to move. we might have to put this up for sale. radio comms. cleveland police insist anti—social behaviour is a priority. we've been invited along to see what they're doing about it. think he's going up there, mate. quad bikes had to be used to commit crime in our area a lot, quad bikes tend to be used to commit crime in our area a lot, and they'll target addresses of rival gangs and cause damage. it's generally over drugs. there are plenty of signs of dinger—related crime as we drive about — from burnt—out bikes

to broken fences. but it was looking like a quiet night until we saw a quad bike bombing down the pavement straight towards us. there he is, there — to the right. but he swerved down a side road when he saw us coming. so we've just seen a quad bike coming in the other direction. what are we looking for, chris? yeah, he was going quite fast and, to be fair, quads aren't very stable at speed — cos if he goes on a corner at aomph, there's a very high chance of it flipping over. what's really striking there is that the quad bike was going down the pavement, pitch black, no lights. if a pedestrian had come out, he would have been injured, potentially even killed if it hit him. in this case, he got away, but cleveland police seized more than 500 bikes last year — and for some, this was their fate. jim connolly, bbc news, redcar. it isa it is a national problem. we'rejoined now by harvinder saimbhi,

are wearing, what bikes they might be using. it is difficult, often they cover their faces, they have balaclavas on and there is that lack of evidence by the police to then take action and identify those individuals. it is really important to talk about the harm this is causing individuals. there is the local authority, the housing providers, victim support to get individual support, providers, victim support to get individualsupport, environmental protection teams. the screeching and the noise of the bikes can be terrifying for children, animals, general community. it is important to continue to report that. what happens is the police piece together all of the information they have. they can look at potentially where those individuals are coming from, where they are filling up their tanks to go into those areas to cause asb and if this problem persists it is important that

victims use their draft to treat rights to raise a case review which means they are experiencing this, and they can get a voice to sit around the table to talk to key agencies. whilst that's not —— while that may not stop the issue there and then they can look at an action plan to put together. we can absolutely see the impact it is having on those individuals and communities. it is really important to continue to report, it is crucial to continue to report, it is crucial to do so. ., , ., ,, to do so. harvinder saimbhi, thank ou for to do so. harvinder saimbhi, thank you forioining _ to do so. harvinder saimbhi, thank you forjoining us. _ to do so. harvinder saimbhi, thank you forjoining us. there _ to do so. harvinder saimbhi, thank you forjoining us. there is - to do so. harvinder saimbhi, thank you forjoining us. there is more i to do so. harvinder saimbhi, thank| you forjoining us. there is more on that issue. you can hear more on this issue on bbc radio 5 live with nicky campbell from 10:00 this morning. news of rugby union. big change for owen farrell he is moving to france. for a long time he has been the face of rugby union, the talisman for

england but he can no longer play for his country with this move and having already stepped back from international selection, going at his age, you wonder if he will play for england again. good morning. it is the end of owen farrell's england career for now, after agreeing tojoin french club racing 92. he heads to france on a two—year deal and, at 32, may well have played the final game for his country. patrick gearey reports. owen farrell is as close to a guarantee as rugby offers. farrell with two off the tee. england's all time leading point—scorer at the heart of england's teams for more than a decade. but now he'll be playing in france. the parisian club racing 92 have announced he is to move to them from the english club saracens in the summer on a two—year deal. farrell had decided not to play in the six nations — which starts next month — to look after his mental well—being after a stressful period in the run up to the recent world cup, when he was criticised for his tackling. but now it's unclear when — or even if — he'll play for his country again.

unlike some other nations, english rugby has a policy of not picking those based abroad — a decision that's been questioned by some, but farrell's replacement as england captain says the players understand it. i think the rules are very clear. if you choose to not play in england, then you won't be able to represent your country. you know, that for me is a choice that those guys have made, and they're very clear about that. the rfu have been very clear about that for a long time. he's still going, mitchell gives it to arundell! what a score! the well—funded french league routinely lures in the best players — england have lost a series of talents across the channel... ..but none as big a name as farrell. english rugby's brilliant constant will be, for the foreseeable future, absent. patrick gearey, bbc news. at the australian open, britain's alfie hewett begun the defence of his wheelchair singles title with a straight sets win againstjapan's takashi sanada. hewett won in straight sets and will play alexander cataldo

reopened we were afraid the children may hear some swear words and we thought we will give them time to settle in and they did to settle in and go out there. unfortunately they started swearing but we found that people were not really bothered about it so we thought it is ok, we will mix them with a group of birds and hopefully they will learn the language of the birds rather than human language. it worked quite successfully up until last friday. we had just finished the enclosure behind me and we have three more beds come in, eric, captain and sheila, and the language was so bad that we decided to move them altogether and this is where they live now. i can actually hear them but you can't! you would be taken off air straightaway if you could hear what is happening behind me now. 110w. laughter i mean... i really want to know what the words are but obviously we can't say them. do the words are but obviously we can't sa them. ,, the words are but obviously we can't say them.- without - the words are but obviously we can't say them.- without saying l say them. do you?! without saying the words. — say them. do you?! without saying the words, and _ say them. do you?! without saying the words, and getting _ say them. do you?! without saying the words, and getting us - say them. do you?! without saying the words, and getting us into - the words, and getting us into trouble, is this thing is they have
