ofcom is due to set out options this morning for changing the way the postal service operates. a service designed to handle 20 billion letters a year, now only handles around seven billion. something has to give — but what will it be? and how will it affect your letterbox? i take a look. killed whilst heroically trying to protect herfriend — the family of grace o'malley—kumar speak to breakfast about their loss and their anger. i miss...i miss her so much. she was my little friend, she was my pet. i'm literally dizzy with grief, and it's the same every day. the former cabinet minister simon clarke calls for the conservatives to replace rishi sunak as prime minister, or face heavy defeat at the next election. middlesbrough�*s wembley dream is over as chelsea hit them for six

to reach the league cup final. good morning. storm jocelyn has been packing a punch overnight. only slowly today will they wind moderate and most of us will have a dry day. details later. good morning. it's wednesday, 24th january. in the next hour, the communications regulator ofcom will recommend options for changing how the postal service works, as part of its review of royal mail. one focus is expected to be on the future of saturday letter deliveries. currently, royal mail is legally obligated to deliver letters six days a week, something its owners say is unaffordable. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. britain's postal network has been delivering letters for hundreds of years. but these days, royal mail is finding it harder than ever to maintain the service, and its customers

are getting frustrated. among them is tina from south east london. in november, she told us about her experiences. i have multiple medical problems, and hospital letters are not getting here. and i've tried explaining it to the hospital, but obviously they cover a large area so they don't take into account that se22 has huge problems and we don't always know that we've got an appointment. and i didn't get my bank card that was sent to me in august, and i had to get my bank to cancel that and resend it. royal mail is required by law to deliver letters six days a week at affordable prices that are the same throughout the country. yet with more people using digital communications instead, it claims the service has become far too costly. the company is clearly under pressure. it made an operating loss of £319 million in the six months to the end of september. last year, it was fined £5.6 million by ofcom for failing

to meet delivery targets. the regulator has been looking at what could be changed to protect the service. there's been plenty of speculation about whether saturday deliveries could be scrapped. earlier this week, the government said it wouldn't support such a move. in response, royal mailsaid... last year, royal mail settled a bitter 14 month dispute with employees represented by the communication workers union over pay and conditions. but now the union's angry once again because it says it hasn't been consulted by ofcom about its plans. with ever fewer people sending letters, changes to postal services are widely seen as inevitable. but whatever ofcom suggests, any major adjustment to royal mail's obligations will have to be approved by parliament. delivering a solution that suits royal mail, its employees, its customers and politicians, is likely to be an uphill challenge.

theo leggett, bbc news. we will be talking about their challenge throughout the programme. we will hear from a government minister, we hearfrom ofcom, and nina is hoping to hearfrom you this morning about your experiences of the postal services. at four minutes past six, what else do we need to know this morning? sally. a senior conservative mp has called for his party to replace rishi sunak as prime minister or be "massacred" in the general election. fomer cabinet secretary sir simon clarke said that the conservatives need a leader who "shares the instincts of the majority". joining us now is our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman. so this developed late last night. how serious is this for the prime minister? ~ , ., , ., , minister? well, it is always serious when simmering _ minister? well, it is always serious when simmering discontent - minister? well, it is always serious when simmering discontent with i minister? well, it is always serious when simmering discontent with a |

when simmering discontent with a leader bubbles over into public calls for that leader to go. and be under no illusions, that is what sirte simon clarke, a former cabinet minister, is calling for. —— sirte simon clarke. he said of the conservatives leave rishi sunak in place they will be massacred at the general election. this is not one of those occasions where a politician is a bit coy and you need someone like me to explain what they really mean is this. simon clarke is very clear about what he really means. if you want a sense of how serious this is, look at how it was responded to by senior conservatives last night. you had a senior conservative spokesman saying that simon clarke was being science indulgent and while he may be claiming to have the can so —— conservative party, the only person he is helping is sir keir starmer. you had senior conservative mps, david davies, liam fox, coming out and accusing simon clarke of similar things. simon clarke of similar things. simon clarke responded last night on

twitter. he said that every conservative mp will need to live with the decision they make in the coming days for the rest of their lives. failing to act would itself represent a decision. look at the polls. two important things. one, he is talking about the coming days. he sees the next few days is crucial. the second point is the polls. what he is really saying is the polls show the conservative party is in deep trouble, therefore, they should change leader. there isn't any conservative mp who disagrees that the polls show the conservative party is in deep trouble. what they disagree on is whether it is rishi sunak or liz truss at fold and weather changing leader again would make any difference, or could potentially even make things worse. —— at fault. that debate will play out in the next few hours and days. that will determine rishi sunak�*s fate. that will determine rishi sunak's fate. . ~ former us president donald trump is projected to have won the republican primary contest

in new hampshire. mr trump is looking increasingly likely to become the party's presidential candidate for the election, which will be held in november, following this key victory. however, his rival, nikki haley, said the race for the presidential nomination was "far from over". storm jocelyn is moving across the uk, days after storm isha wreaked havoc and left at least two people dead. flights have been cancelled and trains suspended as wind gusts of more than 75 miles per hour were recorded. meanwhile, thousands of homes have been affected by power cuts. mairead smyth reports. storm jocelyn picked up where isha left off, waves thrashing the welsh coastline at aberystwyth. the strongest wind speed so far, 76 mph, was recorded in aberdaron, wales. winds are expected to reach speeds of up to 80mph in exposed parts of northern and western scotland.

the clean—up of one storm made more difficult by the arrival of another, as strong winds brought down power lines. electricity north west had to stop work for a while as conditions were too bad. more than 70,000 properties had their power restored, but some are still waiting. in northern ireland, 3000 properties were still without power at ten o'clock last night. community centres will be open in some areas this afternoon to help those affected. trees down and roads like rivers in some parts last night, as heavy rain fell. more than 30 flood warnings were in place in scotland, and 20 in england, in the early hours of this morning. early planning had been put in place to help ensure safe train travel too, and within scotland trains stopped at seven o'clock last night, and won't run today until the lines are clear. scotrail say each route will have to undergo a safety inspection

before trains are able to operate. customers whose journey has been cancelled or disrupted can travel two days after the date on their ticket, or also apply for a refund. the windy, wet weather is said to ease as the day goes on, but the clean—up could continue for some time. mairead smyth, bbc news. let's go now to our reporter dave guest, who is in keswick for us this morning. i know that flooding might be a concern where you are?- i know that flooding might be a concern where you are? yes, good morninu. concern where you are? yes, good morning. indeed _ concern where you are? yes, good morning. indeed it _ concern where you are? yes, good morning. indeed it is. _ concern where you are? yes, good morning. indeed it is. you - concern where you are? yes, good morning. indeed it is. you can - concern where you are? yes, good morning. indeed it is. you can see| morning. indeed it is. you can see they have had the flood defences out here in keswick. winds gusting at 56 mph. the main source of concern here is the river here. the level was rising throughout yesterday. it has been buoyed by constant rainfall.

the rain has stopped for now. that has been a concern. this is one of three areas in cumbria subjected flood warnings this morning. storm jocelyn coming hard on the heels of storm isha, which caused so many problems across cumbria just a few days ago. still some homes without power. the flood warnings will remain in place here throughout the morning. so far, thankfully, there hasn't been any serious flooding. there is a campsite not farfrom here which often floods. that is one of the areas for concern. but the wind continues. you can probably hear a good rattling on my microphone. 56 mph. it has been a worrying night for the people of keswick. but so far their concerns have dissipated slightly but it is still very stormy here in cumbria

this morning. thank you. foreign secretary david cameron will travel to israel today where he is expected to step—up pressure on the country s leaders to allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. in his latest trip to the middle east, lord cameron will tell israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, that water, fuel and electricity must be restored to gaza. and he will also raise concerns over the high number of civilian casualties. grassroots music venues across the uk are under threat of closure, and the charity, the music venue trust, say it's because of rising bills and rent increases. according to the charity's research, 125 locations were forced to stop providing music performances last year, and more than half shut entirely. the streaming service netflix saw a huge rise in subscribers in the final three months of last year, as more than 13 million people signed up following the firm's crackdown on password sharing. it was the most for any quarter since 2020. netflix now says it is planning to increase prices.

four new emperor penguin colonies have been identified in antarctica, bringing the number of known nesting sites around the white continent to 66. the discovery was made through satellite images, allowing scientists to track colonies relocating due to climate change, as charlie rose reports. the emperor penguins, kings of a frozen realm that's slowly melting down. experts fear for their future. in 2022, an estimated 10,000 vulnerable chicks perished when the antarctic sea ice underneath them melted and broke apart. the youngsters hadn't yet developed their waterproof coats. scientists predicted 90% of emperor penguin colonies would be all but extinct by the end of the century. we will see movement as the sea ice becomes less tenable, less stable for the birds and breaks up earlier.

and that means that we'll have to continue tracking and continue monitoring all the emperor penguin colonies as they move to see what happens to them over time. but now the british antarctic survey has found four previously unrecognised nesting sites, using satellite images to track the birds' excrement as they search for more stable sea ice. however, all but one of the colonies has fewer than a thousand emperor penguins. so this new discovery, scientists say, makes little difference to the overall population, which continues to face an uncertain future. charlie rose, bbc news. he looks how i felt on my way to work this morning! in minutes past six. i am not sure how i see it is going to be. certainly very blustery in

manchester. morning, carol. manchester. mornin: , carol. u, ., manchester. mornin~,carol. ., morning, carol. good morning. it has been a windy — morning, carol. good morning. it has been a windy night. _ morning, carol. good morning. it has been a windy night. storm _ morning, carol. good morning. it has been a windy night. storm jocelyn - been a windy night. storm jocelyn has been packing a punch. 97 mph gusts in northern wales. south uist 74 gusts in northern wales. south uist 7a mph gusts. the met office still has a weather warning out notjust for the outer hebrides but this whole area. it is valid until eight o'clock. you could still have gusts up o'clock. you could still have gusts up to 80 mph. the risk of disruption and damage. we have got a gale is still across scotland and also in northern england. a lot of dry weather around. slowly the winds will start to ease as we go through the day. it is going to be a dry day for at most. but any sunshine likely to be hazy with weather front coming in f across the far south—west later

introducing thicker cloud and buckets of rain and drizzle. these are our temperatures. also worth mentioning that it will remain quite gusty to the east of the pennines, even through the course of the afternoon. as we head through the evening and overnight, the weather front coming into the south will continue to drift northwards with its pockets of rain and drizzle. the winds will drop away and we will have some clear skies across the north—east. here, of course, where it has been wet, we could have issues with ice on untreated surfaces. you may see some frost and mist and fog. as we head on into tomorrow, it is going to be a fairly cloudy day for most of us. a bright start in the north. the rain continues to push it steadily northwards as we go through the day. murky conditions continuing in the south—west. these are murky conditions continuing in the south—west. these are our temperatures. mild for the time of the year. temperatures. mild for the time of the ear. . ~ mild for the time of the year. thank ou. in the early hours of 13th june last year, three people were killed in a devastating attack in nottingham.

grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber — both 19—year—old students — were on their way back from a night out when they were stabbed to death. then, 65—year—old school caretaker ian coates was attacked and left for dead. ian's killer took his van and drove at three other pedestrians. the city of nottingham came together to grieve. you'll remember how thousands of people attended vigils at the university. valdo calocane was arrested and initially denied murder charges back in november. but this week, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. he also pleaded guilty to three counts of attempted murder. although the families of the victims were consulted before the plea was accepted, grace's father — sanjoy kumar — said she would have been disappointed by the way the case ended. callocane will be sentenced

in the next two days. the court heard yesterday that grace tried to protect barnaby and fight off their attacker. i've been speaking to grace's mum, dad and brother. they call grace a hero. and, look, this is a tough watch but they want us to hear their story. the fact that i will not see her graduate, the fact that i'll not see her marry, the fact that i will not see grandchildren is brutal. imiss... i miss her so much. she was my little friend. she was my pet. i'm literally dizzy with grief. and it's the same every day.

what would you like everyone to know about — about your daughter? she was the best. and she was the glue that held the family together. and... you know, she was a beautiful child. we were incredibly proud of her. she was such a great athlete. she was a cricketer, a hockey player. and she had so much fun doing that. she was such a lovely girl — friend to her friends. she was very kind. and we did actually discuss that she was too good to be true. didn't we? she was. we were incredibly proud of her. we adored her. we're bereft without her. she was a... i just... we still really can't quite believe that this has happened, to be honest with you. and like both of you,

she wanted to be a doctor. was that what she always wanted to do? ifound little notes in her room. when you're clearing out, you find... you know, these little... these little notes. what am i going to be when i grow up? a doctor. she always wanted to be a doctor. she never had any doubt about that, ever. she didn't sit back. she actually did all the courses and she was probably one of the youngest covid vaccinators in the country and vaccinated hundreds of people. she was the best to me. since everything's happened injune, i've been completely _ lost without her. i've not just lost my older sister, but a best friend. i someone i'd go to about everything. sorry. you take your time.

she'd gone to university. she was in herfirst year away from home. but i guess you were in contact all the time. always in contact. yeah. i'd call her if there| was any problems. i had any concerns. she'd be the first person i'd go to. and because it was grace, she'd come back with the best advice. _ and she would always be there for me. - she was the happiest she'd ever been in her whole life. the heartbreak is that it was her last week of university — exams had finished. there was the hockey dinner that she wanted to enjoy and we wanted her to enjoy it. grace was coming down home in two days. you know. — she's going to be home and have the best summer of her life. can we go back to the day when you found out that something had happened? how did you find out? i was at work and sinead texted me when she first heard the news in the morning. i actually put it on

the family whatsapp. family whatsapp that something had happened. perhaps a terror attack had happened in nottingham. and um, and immediately just being a dad, i rang grace's phone. i remember i rang it at least eight times and itjust rang out. we thought nothing of it. maybe she... maybe her phone had run out of batteries. we really didn't for a moment believe that it could have been... it said a man and a woman. and we thought, "these are just kids." i had a phone call, a text from one of grace's friends, who was really quite frantic that they couldn't get in touch with her. that barney was dead. and that grace was with barney. they left together, and we knew then, really? didn't we, sanjoy? everything just shattered in... in a moment. you just think that all these plans that she'd made. it was just unbelievable that something like this could happen to our daughter, who was...

and then finding out simply walking home... ..from a night out. what was it like being in nottingham in those hours and days after it had happened? the response, i mean, just was incredible to see, wasn't it, from the other students? we were overwhelmed by the number of students that had gathered. we expected a couple of hundred perhaps, but indeed there was thousands. it was incredibly emotional for us. i mean, we were feeling numb, but there was so much love there. the flowers and the poems is really something to behold. it's easier to get access to a knife or a kitchen knife than it is to get access to alcohol these days. and there are the drink driving campaigns. and probably my whole seven years of being in senior school, i've had maybe one knife crime campaign and that's maybe been a 30

minute workshop where you kind of mess about. it's not very serious and it needs to be taken to the next level now because there's been enough families losing loved ones and something's got to stop. and do you want to be part of that? do you want to campaign 100%? that is something i do want to be part of, because losing grace part of, because losing grace shouldn't have had to be the wakeup call for this. and i want to spread that message to other families that having a family is the best gift in the world. and when it gets taken away from you, if it was like you've such an incredible young man. he is 17. he set up a foundation called the grace o'malley—kumar foundation. he has got a website. he is beginning that campaign. he is organising a cricket match in her

name, a hockey match in her name. he is determined to keep her name alive and do everything in his life for her. what an incredible family. thank you to them for speaking so passionately and sharing grace's story and those beautiful images of her and them together as a family. we are very grateful for everything they have done. as you have said. they very much wanted to tell the story. they also say it is not only about grace. there is barney and ian. people injured. they will no doubt want to have their say as well in the next few days as this sentencing takes place. we will hear a slightly longer version of that interview later where they talk about knife crime, about some of the issues involved, but what they as a family want to see next. they want change, they want positive change, they want something good to come from all this. 25 past six. let's have a look at today's papers. the telegraph leads with a warning from a top general, who says the british public

could be called up to fight if the uk goes to war because the military is too small. the paper says the defence secretary, grant shapps, wants to increase defence spending, but has not given a date when this could happen. the i newspaper leads with the uk's involvement in the battle with houthi rebels in yemen. it says that prime minister rishi sunak is not ruling out a sustained military campaign to help protect international shipping in the red sea. the guardian reports on a new international study which, it says, shows that every year spent in school or university improves life expectancy. according to the paper, the research also shows that not attending school is as deadly as smoking or heavy drinking. and if you are thinking this morning i need to get away from all of this, maybe a trip to the caribbean, wouldn't that be nice, you probably wouldn't that be nice, you probably wouldn't want to go like this. this team of women have rowed to antigua from the canary islands. hatty carder, bobbie mellor,

and katherine antrobus broke the record to become the fastest female trio to row across the atlantic. they travelled 3,000 miles, starting at la gomera in the canary islands on december 13, and finishing in antigua on monday. during the challenge, they raised more than £80,000 for charity. each year teams from across the globe take part in this event. it's a series of extreme endurance races known as the world's toughest row. they look very relieved. very happy indeed to be there. congratulations to them. coming up... the reality star olivia attwood is opening up about her cosmetic procedures — and the risks of going under the knife — for a new documentary. she'll be here to tell us all about it. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, and a very good morning. i'm alice salfield.

parents of children with special educational needs have told bbc london they're overwhelmed trying to get their children the schooling they need. the government says it's planning to reform the system and will spend more than £10 billion by 2025. but record numbers of parents in london are taking legal action against councils according to figures from the ministry ofjustice. we need more send schools. we can'tjust have like one send school in one borough. there's a waiting list of up to four years or even, in the meantime, put more money into having some sort of provision in place for kids, so they're not falling behind on their education. so many parents are getting burnt out from this. there were almost five times more instances of sewage flowing into london s rivers last year, than for the same period the year before. according to city hall analysis of thames water data, in one week in december sewage was dumped across the network equivalent to 18 hours every day. thames water said all discharges were unacceptable and that new projects such as the thames tideway tunnel should capture 95% of the volume

of untreated sewage currently entering the river. the met says it hopes a new scheme — aimed at cutting crime in finsbury park in north london — will restore confidence in policing. the project called clear, hold, build involves clearing suspects out of the area, and then working with local agencies and the community to make sure trouble doesn't return. the force is under pressure after a damning review last year criticised neighbourhood policing. we are putting more resources into neighborhood policing, which gives us the ability to respond to those community concerns, to make those improvements that our community needs to see and thereby improve the trust and thereby improve the cycle of getting more intelligence, more information, and allowing us to make those long—term sustainable improvements. let's take a look at the tubes now. the bakerloo line has minor delays, the overground has no service between willesden junction and shepherd's bush and between hackney downs and chingford,

with severe delays elsewhere on the line too. and the piccadilly line has severe delays. time for the weather now with kawser. hello. good morning. a very windy start to the day. a gust of 5a miles per hour recorded in northolt overnight. and it stays very windy, courtesy of storm jocelyn this morning. but that storm continues to clear out towards scandinavia during the day today and the winds will gradually start to ease. there is plenty of dry and bright weather around as well this morning too. some spells of sunshine around. cloud will tend to build though as we head through the day, making the sunshine hazy. and temperatures by the afternoon reaching around 10 to 12 celsius. now, those winds will continue to ease as we head into this evening as well. cloud continues to thicken from the west. some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle arriving by the early hours as well. and temperatures overnight, well, staying on the mild side, lows of 7 to 8 degrees. and it means for tomorrow, for thursday, quite a cloudy and damp day in store. still quite mild. friday, too, an improving day with more in the way of brighter weather to follow.

and, for the weekend, it's largely dry and bright. that's your forecast for now. that's it. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. in the next hour, the regulator, ofcom, will release the findings of its review into royal mail. this affects pretty much everyone, doesn't it? if you are waiting for post this morning. nina's here to tell us more. it is such an institution, it dates back to henry viii. it has been through the empire, two world wars. but it's under increasing pressure. something has to change, and the communications regulator has been looking at what. over the last decade, as competition for delivering parcels has increased, demand

for sending letters has decreased. so royal mail — the delivery network built to handle 20 billion letters a year — is now sending around 7 billion, and the company says it's "simply not sustainable." this is the harsh reality. in the six months to the end of september, it made a loss of £319 million. royal mail has been calling for change since 2020. it has suggested reducing letter deliveries from six days a week to five, cutting out saturdays in order to make savings. that's believed to be one of the options ofcom has been considering. there's an important distinction here — the regulator doesn't actually have the power to scrap saturday letter deliveries. under the postal services act only the government could trigger that, and earlier this week, downing street had appeared to rule that out. so, at 7am, we are unlikely to hear anything definitive, but different ways it could adapt to survive and thrive.

which is where you come in. what are your experiences with royal mail? is it an integral part of your communication with loved ones? would your business struggle without saturday deliveries? are you increasingly finding yourself opting for other services? do get in touch in all the usual ways. jon and sally, maybe we can put some of our viewers' thoughts to the regulator. i know we have already had lots of people in touch about this. natalie has messaged while you are speaking. we only get post once a week now. it has been like this for a year, we have missed hospital in cardiology appointments. cutting deliveries on appointments. cutting deliveries on a saturday would make no difference because we do not get them anyway. fix, because we do not get them anyway. lot of hospital trusts have become digitised and demand increases and royal mail is trying to fill holes

in places on a massive network where much of it is not needed them to think about what happens next. thank ou. let's think about what happens next. thank yom let's turn — think about what happens next. thank you. let's turn our _ think about what happens next. thank you. let's turn our attention _ think about what happens next. thank you. let's turn our attention to - think about what happens next. thank you. let's turn our attention to in america. donald trump has had another key victory in his race to become the republican candidate in november's presidential election. he beat his rival, nikki haley, at the primary contest in new hampshire but she said the race is "far from over." our north america correspondent nomia iqbal has this report. it was an election result donald trump accepted. well, i want to thank everybody. this is a fantastic state. this is a great, great state. new hampshire gave him a big win, but not a blowout, leaving his rival, nikki haley, still on for the fight to secure the republican party's presidential nomination. well, i'm a fighter... cheering. and i'm scrappy. and now we're the last ones standing

next to donald trump. that was a comment that trump really didn't like. and she was up and i said, "wow, she's doing like a speech like she won." she didn't win, she lost. the race to win new hampshire was seen as a real test for donald trump's strength. nearly 40% of people here are independent voters. at this polling station, voters were greeted by others, making their points loud and clear. amongst them, glenn, who arrived early. nikki haley, who i support, is a good person, who, while i don't agree with all of her — her conservative views — i'm sort of half liberal, half conservative. she's a strong person. but sue is no fan of nikki haley. she thinks she'd be nowhere without trump, who once appointed her un ambassador. there is something to be said for loyalty. you don't see nikki haley as loyal. i don't. give him a shot.

give him the the second term that he deserved, frankly. it's interesting you're both here and getting on very well. very well. i even made him hot chocolate. two different opinions, two very different votes, but friendly neighbours in the snow. voters in new hampshire here play an outsized role in deciding presidential nominees. that's despite it being one of the smallest states in the country. mark is a registered republican, who is voting for nikki haley. if trump were to win, i would be worried for the future of the nation. we'll see you on the trail. donald trump's path to the republican presidential nomination may be clearer, but to return to the white house, he'll likely facejoe biden, the man who beat him at the ballot box four years ago. nomir iqbal, bbc news, new hampshire. our washington correspondent gary o'donoghuejoins us now from new hampshire. morning, gary.

can you explain to us what this result means? it can you explain to us what this result means?— can you explain to us what this result means? it makes it more likely that _ result means? it makes it more likely that donald _ result means? it makes it more likely that donald trump - result means? it makes it more likely that donald trump is - result means? it makes it morel likely that donald trump is going result means? it makes it more - likely that donald trump is going to be the nominee for the republican party come the general election in november. his opponent is likely to be the current president, joe biden. it looks like we're going to get a rerun of the 2020 general election. something that most americans do not want to see, ironically. it does look like we are locked into that. there is the small matter of nikki haley, she is still in the race. she has a bit of money so this race will go on for at least another month. donald trump faces 91 felony counts. 50% said he was still fit the presidency even if convicted of a

crime. how do you explain this? donald trump has done a very good job in persuading certainly his own supporters and others as well that the charges against him are a fit up job, they are political persecution and they are the weaponisation of the justice system. lots of his supporters buy into that narrative. however, there are, and there is, a big chunk of supporters, republicans, who do believe that it is a problem for donald trump if he were convicted. now, is that enough to derail his bid for the presidency? we will have to wait and see. these charges are a problem. it is not all upside in terms of getting support from his base and raising money, which he absolutely does. at}!!! raising money, which he absolutely does.

after all, middlesbrough were undone by the billion—pound spenders. their 1—0 lead from the first leg became certain defeat before they really knew what had hit them. boro's defence may have tried to play out. they found the ball just coming back fast — too much, too soon. and there was no chance for tactical restructuring. chelsea were 4—0 up by half time. cole palmer scored his second with 13 minutes left to play. this was getting to feel a bit cruel. and then there was a deflection, and then they were 6—0. this victory in the final to come may help to galvanise chelsea's new identity. that doesn't tell the whole story because the game ended with this finish from the widely—admired morgan rodgers. this reaction from the middlesbrough supporters — they came with hope, they left with smiles. commentator: well, it's certainly a consolation. . only defeat came in between. joe wilson, bbc news.

great to see them still enjoying themselves at the end. now, could this be the move that breathes new life into the the career of england midfielder kalvin phillips? after a big money move to champions manchester city two years ago, he's started just six games, but he's set to join west ham on loan until the end of the season. he can get back playing regularly, ahead of this summer's european championship in germany, where he'll hope to be selected for england. another england player, defender kieran trippier, is staying at newcastle for now — after they turned down an offer from the german champions bayern munich ofjust under £13 million for him. bayern already have harry kane and erid dier on their books. there's just over a week to go until the transfer window shuts. in what is chelsea manager emma hayes�*s final season before moving to the united states, could she sign off with a champion's league win? a place in the quarterfinals is at stake tonight, with the tie

2—2 with real madrid after their first leg. chelsea will want to make home advantage count. we expect that for ourselves and we're at home. i think everybody would expect us to be favourites going into the game. however, it's real madrid. they have a quality squad — they've got a lot of internationals and they did score against us and draw with us in the reverse fixture. so we know what we have to do. and i always say to our players, "let's focus on that and put all our energy into making sure the performance is as good as it can be." britain's alfie hewett and gordon reid are on course to meet in the wheelchair singles final at the australian open, after reaching the last four. they both came through their quarter—final matches in straight sets. hewett only dropped two games in beating alexander cataldo, while reid overcame tom egberink. but andy lapthorne is out of the quad singles. a young ukrainian is making waves in melbourne. dayana yastremska, the first

qualifier to reach the semi—finals there since the late �*70s. in 30 degree heat, the 23—year—old beat linda noskova in straight sets. she's ranked 93rd in the world, and has beaten two grand slam champions on her way through. she said she was happy, and is one win away from a place in the final. an inauspicious start for england's cricketers ahead of their series in india, which begins tomorrow. bowler shoaib bashir has been left behind from the rest of the squad and forced to return to the uk to sort out a visa delay. captain ben stokes said he was devatsted for the player. better news for ben foakes, who'll return to test action after almost a year. he's reclaimed the wicketkeeping gloves from jonny bairstow, who's also included, but only as a batter. and we'll finish on some amazing pictures from portugal, where the latest big wave challenge event has taken place. the famous coastal town of nazare has some of the biggest

rideable waves in the world, partly due to an underwater canyon three miles deep near the shoreline. i say rideable, lots of people finding their condition tough going. shows how tough the conditions are, have the waves are. not for the faint—hearted. some spectacular surfing and spectacular wipe—outs, as we have fancy that? no. let's stick to the easiest surfboard, i think. imagine that on your lino! wouldn't work, would it? no. the black sabbath frontman ozzy osbourne is birmingham born and bred. and, according to his wife, sharon osbourne, he wants to perform his final shows in his beloved home city. but first, sharon — a television personality and music manager in her own right — will take to the stage this week to share her life story at a birmingham theatre. ben sidwell has been to meet her.

i always say that if the end of the world happened, there'd be cockroaches, ozzy and keith richards. reporters: sharon, sharon, sharon. sharon osbourne's a woman, who's never afraid to tell it like it is. we've had amazing things happen, but a lot of bleep too. at birmingham's alexandra theatre, she's promised to tell all — as she takes to the stage for the very first time. i don't sing, i don't dance. i can't go and, like, entertain with anything other than my life experience. sharon! already a successful music manager, it was when sharon, ozzy and family let cameras into their house for the tv reality show, the osbournes, that sharon found worldwide fame. people say, "oh, god, why did you give up doing the osbornes and this, that and the other?"

and i'm like, "because we were the first." i will say very slowly, "it is not my band and i don't want to do any promotions." do you want to do it? yes. of course, ozzy is ingrained in the fabric of birmingham, and it's a city sharon's become very familiar with. it's just an incredible, lively city. usually places that change go backwards. but birmingham has gone forwards, which is so brilliant. and ozzy, you know, he left birmingham a long time ago, but it's such a huge part of who he is and all his recollections and most of his stories that he tells. and, you know, like, when he's dreaming, he never dreams he's in la, he always dreams he's in birmingham. it's something so weird within him. but he'd never really left. he's just that birmingham boy. i wouldn't mind going back to birmingham. yeah, it's great there now, it's fantastic. it's a whole different city. it's amazing. the family now have their own podcast and on it they announced

plans for an ozzy museum in birmingham, which sharon is hoping to finalise while she's here this week. you can come and see all of ozzy�*s accolades, everything from his past. there's an interactive part where you can go in and you can talk to ozzy and he'll answer you. so it's going to be state—of—the—art, but attached is going to be a music school. so kids can come, it's free. with the family set to move back to the uk this year, sharon's likely to be spending a lot more time in birmingham, starting with a show at the alexandra theatre. ben sidwell, bbc news. she has got some tales to tell. an aussie museum! i do not know what you would exhibit. put on your headphones as you go round. carol has the weather for us this morning. looks like you will get a bit wet.

around. some sunny spells. a lot of the sunshine will be hazy with high cloud around. we continue with showers on and off griping burning across scotland, northern ireland and north—west england. later, we will find the cloud will thicken in the south—west as a new weather front approaches bringing pockets of rain and drizzle. gusty to the east of the pennines. temperatures eight to 12 degrees. this evening and overnight, this cloud and pockets of rain and drizzle will continue to push north. the winds will drop. we are looking at some clear skies across the north. here we could see mist and fog patches forming and also we could have frost and ice for also we could have frost and ice for a time. it will remain murky around the hills and case of the southwest. the temperature will rise as we go through the course of the night from the south—west. this warm front continues to journey to marry steadily northwards. we are pulling in the wind from the south—west, pulling in all this mailed out

across the country. not getting into the far north of scotland and the northerners until later. tomorrow will be fairly cloudy, again with the rain migrating north. after a bright start in a cloud over across the far north of scotland and it will remain fairly murky across the far south—west of england and also wales. it will be breezy as we go through thursday, the strongest winds will be in the north—west. into friday we will start off with wintry showers. a ridge of high pressure is building in from the west. that means there will be a lot of dry, fine unsettled weather. it would be fresher with showers peppering the north and west. at times when the temperatures will be six to 11 degrees. beyond that, the weather changes slightly for the weekend by looking drier with more sunshine. at times we will be prone to the chance of rain in the north west of scotland.

thank you. excess ear wax can cause pain and hearing loss but, for many years, treatment was readily available at your gp surgery. now, research by the rnid — a charity for people who are deaf — has found that it's becoming harder to access services on the nhs in england — forcing many to pay privately. helen is 76. she told us how this has affected her. i wasn't able any longer to be able to have it on the nhs. i was very, very deaf and i was desperate, actually. and i had to ask a friend to find somewhere entity ring them for me. ——and to ring them. i literally couldn't hear on the phone. and i was quoted £80 for it, which was a bit of a shock, because that's a lot of money. but i was really desperate. and it was about 20 or 30 miles away, but i was prepared to go because that was the only place i could find. earwax has had quite a big effect on my ordinary life. i am a member of the community choir.

i found i was unable to hear what the choir leader was saying. obviously, i was worried about singing out of tune. i had to ask my neighbour what she'd said, and it felt quite embarrassing, really. and, also, i think with my family and friends, i think they found it irritating, really, that i couldn't hear, and so, sometimes left me out of the conversations. crystal rolfe, director of health at the rnid — the national hearing loss charity, joins us now. good morning to you. like helen, so many people are affected by this. yes, thousands of people need earwax removal services and they are unable to get it. that causes hearing loss quick to notice and earache. there is no medical reason why those people are unable to access the services they really need. i5 people are unable to access the services they really need. is it the services they really need. is it the services are _ services they really need. is it the services are not _ services they really need. is it the services are not there _

to get their children the schooling they need. the government says its planning to reform the system and will spend more than £10 billion by 2025. but according to figures from the ministry ofjustice, record numbers of parents in london are taking legal action against councils. we need more send schools. we can'tjust have like one send school in one borough. there's a waiting list of up to four years or even, in the meantime, put more money into having some sort of provision in place for kids, so they're not falling behind on their education. so many parents are getting burnt out from this. there were almost five times more instances of sewage flowing into london s rivers last year, than during the same period the year before. according to city hall analysis of thames water data, in one week in december sewage was dumped across the network equivalent to 18 hours every day. thames water said all discharges were unacceptable and new projects such as the thames tideway tunnel should capture 95% of the volume of untreated sewage

currently entering the river. the met says it hopes a new scheme, aimed at cutting crime in finsbury park in north london, will restore confidence in policing. the project, called clear, hold, build, involves clearing suspects out of the area, and then working with local agencies and the community to make sure trouble doesn't return. the force is under pressure after a damning review last year criticised neighbourhood policing. we are putting more resources into neighborhood policing, which gives us the ability to respond to those community concerns, to make those improvements that our community needs to see and thereby improve the trust and thereby improve the cycle of getting more intelligence, more information, and allowing us to make those long—term sustainable improvements. let's take a look at the tubes now. the overground has no service between willesden junction and shepherd's bush, with severe delays between liverpool street and cheshunt, enfield town and chingford. and the piccadilly line has severe delays. time for the weather

now, with kawser. hello. good morning. a very windy start to the day. a gust of 5a miles per hour recorded in northolt overnight. and it stays very windy, courtesy of storm jocelyn this morning. but that storm continues to clear out towards scandinavia during the day today and the winds will gradually start to ease. there is plenty of dry and bright weather around as well this morning too. some spells of sunshine around. cloud will tend to build though as we head through the day, making the sunshine hazy. and temperatures by the afternoon reaching around 10 to 12 celsius. now, those winds will continue to ease as we head into this evening as well. cloud continues to thicken from the west. some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle arriving by the early hours as well. and temperatures overnight, well, staying on the mild side, lows of 7 to 8 degrees. and it means for tomorrow, for thursday, quite a cloudy and damp day in store. still quite mild. friday, too, an improving day with more in the way of brighter weather to follow. and, for the weekend, it's largely dry and bright. that's your forecast for now.

that's it. plenty more on our website. now it's back to sally and jon, and i'll see you in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. what does the future hold for royal mail? ofcom is due to set out options

this morning for changing the way the postal service operates. the former cabinet minister simon clarke calls for the conservatives to replace rishi sunak as prime minister, or face heavy defeat at the next election. donald trump is predicted to have won the new hampshire republican primary, as he seeks the party's us presidential election nomination. middlesbrough's wembley dream is over as chelsea hit them for six to reach the league cup final. storm jocelyn has been packing a punch with wind gusts up to 97 mph. those winds will slowly moderate through the course of today and most of us will have a dry day. details later in the programme. good morning. it's wednesday, 24th january. the communications regulator, ofcom, has set out options this morning for changing the way the postal service operates.

royal mail says the current system is unsustainable and it's losing money. one focus is expected to be on the future of saturday letter deliveries. currently, royal mail is legally obliged to deliver letters six days a week, something its owners say is unaffordable. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. britain's postal network has been delivering letters for hundreds of years. but these days, royal mail is finding it harder than ever to maintain the service, and its customers are getting frustrated. among them is tina from south east london. in november, she told us about her experiences. i have multiple medical problems, and hospital letters are not getting here. and i've tried explaining it to the hospital, but obviously they cover a large area so they don't take into account that se22 has huge problems and we don't always know that we've got an appointment. and i didn't get my bank card that was sent to me in august, and i had to get my bank to cancel that and resend it.

royal mail is required by law to deliver letters six days a week at affordable prices that are the same throughout the country. yet with more people using digital communications instead, it claims the service has become far too costly. the company is clearly under pressure. it made an operating loss of £319 million in the six months to the end of september. last year, it was fined £5.6 million by ofcom for failing to meet delivery targets. the regulator has been looking at what could be changed to protect the service. there's been plenty of speculation about whether saturday deliveries could be scrapped. earlier this week, the government said it wouldn't support such a move. in response, royal mailsaid... last year, royal mail settled a bitter 1a month dispute with employees represented

by the communication workers union over pay and conditions. but now the union's angry once again because it says it hasn't been consulted by ofcom about its plans. with ever fewer people sending letters, changes to postal services are widely seen as inevitable. but whatever ofcom suggests, any major adjustment to royal mail's obligations will have to be approved by parliament. delivering a solution that suits royal mail, its employees, its customers and politicians, is likely to be an uphill challenge. theo leggett, bbc news. in the last couple of minutes ofcom have published that review we have been waiting for. we are going to talk to them live shortly to find out more detail. let me tell you the headline. ofcom are recommending changing, reducing letter delivery days from six, as it is at the moment, including saturday, down to five or even three days a week for

deliveries. the regulator says that would save the service up to £650 million a year but it would need government approval. million a year but it would need governmentapproval. rishi million a year but it would need government approval. rishi sunak said he would not countenance the idea of saturdays being dropped. the other option being set out by the regulators in this review is maybe changing the existing first and second class service, so that most letters would take up to three days or longer to deliver. and if you want something to get there the next day, you would have to go for an urgent delivery service instead. just have one class, effectively, and is super fast class would be separate and different. what do you think of that? lots of you have been in touch already this morning with your views on how the existing royal mail service is. we will put some of those points to a government minister a little bit later. keep your comments coming. it is six minutes past seven. lots more going on, including more infighting in westminster, sally? i was going to say we're starting

with this morning. the fomer cabinet secretary, sir simon clarke, has called for rishi sunak to be replaced as prime minister, otherwise — in his words — the conservatives face a "massacre" at the next general election. our chief political correspondent is henry zeffman. this sounds pretty serious? i think it is always — this sounds pretty serious? i think it is always serious _ this sounds pretty serious? i think it is always serious when - this sounds pretty serious? i think it is always serious when someone this sounds pretty serious? i think. it is always serious when someone is willing to go over the top, as it were, and say that their party leaders should go. and that is exactly what sir simon clarke is doing in an article in the daily telegraph. it is not one of those political pieces where they are a bit coy about what exactly they mean and you need somebody like me to say, this is what they are really saying the between the lines. simon clarke is very clear. he says if rishi sunak remains conservative party leader and prime minister of the time of the general election, the time of the general election, the conservative party will be massacred. now, ithink the conservative party will be massacred. now, i think what is really interesting to watch here is how other conservative mps respond. last night you had a sort of shower,

in a fury, condemnation rained on simon clarke by firm supporters of rishi sunak, david davis, liam fox, experienced former cabinet ministers who want rishi sunak to stay in place and think another conservative leadership contest would be self—indulgent. and indeed self—indulgent. and indeed self—indulgent is the word that a senior conservative spokesman used when asked about simon clarke's intervention. simon clarke hit back last night in a tweet on x, as it is now known, where he said every conservative mp will need to look at the decision they make in the coming days for the rest of their lives. failing to act itself represent a decision. look at the polls. and it is true that a lot of conservative mps are looking at the polls. for many the reason the conservative party is so far behind the labour party is so far behind the labour party in the polls, it is not the fault of rishi sunak, but the fault of liz truss, in his cabinet sir simon clarke served. i was speaking

to some conservative mps who might blow with the wind a little bit about which direction they go. some were saying last night, look, they do think changing leader might look a bit ridiculous, but also as it stands a lot of them will lose their jobs. that is the trade—off that conservative mps are going to have to decide between in the coming hours, days, weeks, months. thank you. a court in nottingham has heard how 19—year—old grace o'malley—kumar was killed while heroically trying to protect her friend. valdo calocane killed grace, herfriend barnaby webber, and 65—year—old school caretaker ian coates in nottingham lastjune. he admitted manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility in court yesterday. grace s mother sinead o'malley has spoken for the first time since her daughter, who she called gracie, was killed. there has to be mandatory, um, prison sentences for carrying a knife. it's like carrying — it's no different to carrying a gun.

it's no different to carrying a gun. it's notjust an offensive weapon, its notjust something that you eat your food with. it's potentially a fatal weapon. it's a lethal weapon. lethal, exactly. the word offensive is offensive in itself. and you can watch the full interview with grace's family after eight o'clock. storm jocelyn is bringing fresh disruption to many parts of the uk, with wind gusts of up to 97 miles an hour. it comes less than two days after storm isha caused severe damage and left two people dead. rail travel to and within scotland was suspended last night as a result of the strong winds and heavy rain. let's go now to our reporter dave guest, who is in keswick for us this morning. what is the situation there? well, it is still very _ what is the situation there? well, it is still very windy _ what is the situation there? well, it is still very windy here - what is the situation there? well, it is still very windy here in - it is still very windy here in keswick. the winds currently gusting at more than 50 mph. it has been an anxious night for the people of

keswick. they deployed their flood defences a few days ago. the river behind me, i don't know if you can see it, is running far higher than normal. it has been swollen by keep the continual rain in recent days. the rain has stopped. but it has been an issue here. they are on a flood warning, as are three other areas of cumbria this morning. of course, all this as you say comes hard on the heels of storm isha. that caused considerable disruption in cumbria just a few days ago. electricity north west say they have reconnected about 70,000 homes across the north west region but there are still some they are trying to get to. elsewhere, over in yorkshire, overnightjoslin has been causing problems they are, with some trees coming down. there has also been some flooding in the city of york. furtherafield been some flooding in the city of york. further afield still we have seen the coastline in wales has been getting battered. there was a surge overnight in porthcawl. this followed reports that somebody had

gone into the water. that had to be suspended because of the continued bad weather. even further down south, the qe2 dartford crossing, that has been closed due to high winds. in cumbria, here in keswick, things were not as bad as they thought they might be, but sadly they have to take precautions because this part of the world is very used to suffering the problems of storms, storms which seem to be coming from a regular in recent times. that is it for now. ., ~ former us president donald trump has won the republican primary contest in new hampshire. mr trump is looking increasingly likely to become the party's presidential candidate for the election, which will be held in november, following this key victory. however, his rival, nikki haley, said the race for the presidential nomination was far from over. grassroots music venues across the uk are under threat of closure, and the charity, the music venue trust, say it's because of rising bills

and rent increases. according to the charity's research, 125 locations were forced to stop providing music performances last year, and more than half shut entirely. the streaming service netflix saw a huge rise in subscribers in the final three months of last year, as more than 13 million people signed up following the firm's crackdown on password sharing. it was the most for any quarter since 2020. netflix now says it is planning to increase prices. this is like a movie on netflix in itself. here on breakfast we have been following every step of ultra runner russell cook as he tries to runner russell cook as he tries to run the length of africa, all the way up africa for charity. but sadly, it looks like the challenge could be over this morning. he has problems with visas. russell cook had planned

to complete the length of 360 marathons in 240 days, but his plans could be in jeopardy more than 7,000 miles into his run, unless he's able to get permission to cross the border into algeria from mauritania. he has already run more than 7000 miles and raised more than £140,000. he is so determined. he is so desperate to get there, to make it all the way across the continent. fingers crossed you will get there. 13 minutes past seven. lots of places have been battered by storms the last few days. carol is the latest weather. good morning. as well as the strong winds we have been talking about, we have got heavy rain from storm isha and storm jocelyn. at the moment there are 37 flood warnings in force in scotland, 21 in england. these fluctuate, so you can find out more information on the bbc weather

website. the costs we have had in the last hour or so i like this. altnaharra 70 mph. bridlington 58. wei byrne, 50 my bras. the winds started to ease in the south. still windy in the north. the met office has a number of weather warning in force but still the potential for gusts of up to 80 mph. it expires shortly. again, as the storm moves into what scandinavia it is going to drag the strongest winds with it. a ridge of high pressure building on the south means things will settle down. to start it is still very windy with gales across scotland and northern in them. for most it is a dry day with showers coming in on that wind in scotland, northern england and northern ireland. later on, thicker cloud as a new weather front approaches from the south—west, introducing spots of rain and drizzle. it will remain gusty to the east of the pennines through today. into this evening and overnight the winds will drop. the

weather front continues to move northwards, taking its cloud and patchy rain and drizzle with it. i had a bit under clear skies we could see some frost, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. and also, some mist and fog patches in the north. murky in the south—west. one thing you will notice is temperatures are actually going to rise because with milder air coming actually going to rise because with milderair coming infrom actually going to rise because with milder air coming in from the south—west as we no milder air coming in from the south—west as we no throu-h milder air coming in from the south—west as we no throunh the south—west as we go through the course of the night. thank you. ofcom, which regulates the postal industry, has just in the last 15 minutes published a review outlining how royal mail can evolve to more closely meet consumer needs. we can get more on this now with ofcom's chief executive, dame melanie dawes. good morning. we want to talk about this. our inboxes bursting this morning. but before we talk about changes, can we be really clear about what we are talking about? royal mail, this is different from

the post office. what is the status of royal mail? who owns it? how do you make changes to it?— you make changes to it? thanks for havin: me you make changes to it? thanks for having me on- _ you make changes to it? thanks for having me on. this _ you make changes to it? thanks for having me on. this is _ you make changes to it? thanks for having me on. this is such - you make changes to it? thanks for having me on. this is such an - having me on. this is such an important issue and i'm not surprised that there is a lot of interest in it. actually, our postal workers, people sending letters and parcels, it is a central part of our lives, important to our communities. royal mail is a private company. but since 2011 there have been required to deliver first and second class mail. we set rules on what that should be, how long it should take for things to arrive, and how many days a week you should get the deliveries. what we are seeing today is that the number of letters we are sending since 2011 has halved. something has to give or the service will be too costly. either stamp prices will go up or it will become unsustainable. we are opening a debate today. we are not proposing a specific answer. we want to hear people pass these about something that remains incredibly important to us and we'll do into the future. ——

deliveries, which has been much discussed in recent days, those are questions for ministers ministers and parliament. we do very much set that out in the report. you and parliament. we do very much set that out in the report.— that out in the report. you say ma be that out in the report. you say maybe five — that out in the report. you say maybe five days, _ that out in the report. you say maybe five days, maybe - that out in the report. you say maybe five days, maybe three that out in the report. you say - maybe five days, maybe three days. a lot of our viewers are laughing and saying at the moment it is not six days. kim in south yorkshire says she only gets male and two maybe three days a week at the moment. at the moment she has to send a birthday card two weeks ahead to standard a chance of getting to a destination seven miles away. if we can't do six days now, if you bring down to five or three services a week people will feel won't get anything? week people will feel won't get an hinu ? , week people will feel won't get an hina? , , week people will feel won't get an hinu? ,, , week people will feel won't get an hina? ,, , anything? this is exactly the point. over the past _ anything? this is exactly the point. over the past couple _ anything? this is exactly the point. over the past couple of— anything? this is exactly the point. over the past couple of years - anything? this is exactly the point. j over the past couple of years royal mail has not been delivering against its targets. that is a massive problem. as you say, people have not not want to rely on. you end up sending things way in advance. medical appointments, also serve important mail, has not been arriving on time. that is why ofcom fined the company before christmas more than £55 million because this

really matters. what we need to do is get the service onto a footing for the future where we can rely on it. that is what the public wants, reliability and affordability above all else. that is why we are opening this conversation today. there is no easy pass for the company. they must deliver an improvement in their service. that is necessary whatever happens next. $5 service. that is necessary whatever happens next-— service. that is necessary whatever hauensnext. a happens next. as ofcom you can start the conversation _ happens next. as ofcom you can start the conversation but _ happens next. as ofcom you can start the conversation but at _ happens next. as ofcom you can start the conversation but at the _ happens next. as ofcom you can start the conversation but at the end - happens next. as ofcom you can start the conversation but at the end of- the conversation but at the end of the conversation but at the end of the debt it is ministers who make this decision. rishi sunak said at the weekend he would not consider the weekend he would not consider the idea of dropping saturdays. so i've ministers are not going to reduce it, that means nothing is going to change. what is the future of royal mail if it can't make the kind of changes you are talking about? . . , kind of changes you are talking about? ., ., , ., , about? there are a number of things in -la . it about? there are a number of things in play- it is — about? there are a number of things in play. it is about _ about? there are a number of things in play. it is about the _ about? there are a number of things in play. it is about the number of - in play. it is about the number of days. some countries in europe, because everybody is looking at this, notjust the uk, have actually either got rid of their service altogether, their universal service, or they have gone to every other day. there are some big changes going on out there in other

countries. we are not making any specific proposal today. we are trying to get the facts out there, particularly get the consumer research, all the commotion and analysis of the company, the costs of delivering the service as it is today, so that we can have an informed conversation. we can do as a regulator. we don't want to do it in isolation. i a regulator. we don't want to do it in isolation-— a regulator. we don't want to do it in isolation. i know you can't make the decision _ in isolation. i know you can't make the decision is _ in isolation. i know you can't make the decision is what _ in isolation. i know you can't make the decision is what you _ in isolation. i know you can't make the decision is what you have - in isolation. i know you can't make i the decision is what you have looked through the numbers. what do you personally, not officially, but personally, not officially, but personally, what do you expect the royal mail to look like in five years' time? i royal mail to look like in five years time?— royal mail to look like in five ears'time? years' time? i really hope it will be a central _ years' time? i really hope it will be a central part _ years' time? i really hope it will be a central part of— years' time? i really hope it will be a central part of our- years' time? i really hope it will. be a central part of our community. it is so much at the heart of our communities. that is one of the reasons why this touch is such a nerve with the public. at the same time i think the service has got to change. no action is not really an option. as my costs will go up. we will not be able to afford letters any more. or even worse, the service will become unsustainable.—

with a theme here, because theatres, public toilets, even cctv, these are a few of the services that could be cut in a bid to prevent some local councils from going bankrupt. it comes as research revealed that councils in the uk are facing a combined debt of nearly £100 billion. our political correspondent alex forsyth has been to somerset, where a financial emergency was declared in november. it is early on a freezing morning in protest gathered outside somerset council pass offices. they are hoping to save the recreation centre, which is threatened with closure. j centre, which is threatened with closure. ., �* , ., centre, which is threatened with closure. . , closure. i don't understand it. why would they — closure. i don't understand it. why would they want _ closure. i don't understand it. why would they want to _ closure. i don't understand it. why would they want to get _ closure. i don't understand it. why would they want to get rid - closure. i don't understand it. why would they want to get rid of - would they want to get rid of something that is so important to everyone? something that is so important to eve one? , , everyone? outside they met the council leader _ everyone? outside they met the council leader who _ everyone? outside they met the council leader who said - everyone? outside they met the council leader who said with - everyone? outside they met the - council leader who said with funding so tight they are looking at every option to avoid going bust. that does mean cuts. fight; option to avoid going bust. that does mean cuts.— option to avoid going bust. that does mean cuts. any thing that we will do, does mean cuts. any thing that we will do. we — does mean cuts. any thing that we will do, we will _ does mean cuts. any thing that we will do, we will do _ does mean cuts. any thing that we will do, we will do it. _ does mean cuts. any thing that we will do, we will do it. it _ does mean cuts. any thing that we will do, we will do it. it is - does mean cuts. any thing that we will do, we will do it. it is tough i will do, we will do it. it is tough times_ will do, we will do it. it is tough times ahead.— will do, we will do it. it is tough times ahead. .., . ., ., , times ahead. the council allowed us to film as they _ times ahead. the council allowed us to film as they discussed _ times ahead. the council allowed us

they are looking at their arts funding, their culturalfunding, not funding, their cultural funding, not just funding, their culturalfunding, not just hampshire, other places looking at museums, may be dimming streetlights to save money, recycling centres been closed, hours reduced. the same with library provision. some councils looking at increasing charges for things like parking. it is not every counsel, but what is quite notable this year is that there are a lot of councils of all different political persuasions across the country saying, we are struggling with our funding. so we are having to look at what we spend and where we can cut back. ., ., ., back. some of them going further and declarin: back. some of them going further and declaring bankruptcy? _ back. some of them going further and declaring bankruptcy? yeah, - back. some of them going further and declaring bankruptcy? yeah, councilsl declaring bankruptcy? yeah, councils can so declaring bankruptcy? yeah, councils can no to a declaring bankruptcy? yeah, councils can go to a point _ declaring bankruptcy? yeah, councils can go to a point where _ declaring bankruptcy? yeah, councils can go to a point where they - declaring bankruptcy? yeah, councils can go to a point where theyjust i can go to a point where theyjust can't make the books balance. we have seen them do that. birmingham and nottingham recently. it is worth saying in each case so far where council has gone effectively bankrupt there has been a particular set of circumstances. the warnings from across the local government sector are that unless the group funding system for local government is addressed, then you could see

other councils reaching that point. if that does happen what that means is that there are really significant cuts to everything the councils don't actually have to provide by law. so everything else is on the table and council tax can also go up. that can affect a lot of people. and there are local elections in a lot of places this year and a general election later this year, so in a lot of places dates gets political, doesn't it? without a shadow of _ political, doesn't it? without a shadow of a — political, doesn't it? without a shadow of a doubt. _ political, doesn't it? without a shadow of a doubt. there i political, doesn't it? without a shadow of a doubt. there is i political, doesn't it? without a shadow of a doubt. there is a l political, doesn't it? without a i shadow of a doubt. there is a lot of pressure on the government right now to look at this not just from opposition parties but conservative. you reported earlier this week that more than 40 conservative mps wrote to the prime minister and said, you have to put some more funding into the system because otherwise they would be big cuts. as you saw from what is happening in somerset that is affecting people in the community. there are talks going on. very active discussions between the government and council leaders looking at whether they can top up what they might offer councils this year. the government says they are already increasing it compared to

last year. it could go further. it is a possibility, not a definite. but watch this space because the comet is under pressure. a final thought. it is worth saying that some councils, there may be questions over some of the decisions they have made, the way they have chosen to spend money, but you get a sense now when you talk to people that the problem is reaching a slightly new point and has got to be looked at. alex, thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. playing hello, playing and a very good morning. i'm alice salfield. parents of children with special educational needs have told bbc london they're overwhelmed trying to get their children the schooling they need. the government says it's planning to reform the system and will spend more than £10 billion by 2025. but, according to figures from the ministry ofjustice, record numbers of parents in london are taking legal action against councils.

we need more send schools. we can'tjust have like one send school in one borough. there's a waiting list of up to four years or even, in the meantime, put more money into having some sort of provision in place for kids, so they're not falling behind on their education. so many parents are getting burnt out from this. there were almost five times more instances of sewage flowing into london s rivers last year, than during the same period the year before. according to city hall analysis of thames water data, in one week in december, sewage was dumped across the network equivalent to 18 hours every day. thames water said all discharges were unacceptable and new projects such as the thames tideway tunnel should capture 95% of the volume of untreated sewage currently entering the river. the met says it hopes a new scheme — aimed at cutting crime in finsbury park in north london — will restore confidence in policing. the project called clear, hold, build involves clearing

suspects out of the area, and then working with local agencies and the community to make sure trouble doesn't return. the force is under pressure after a damning review last year criticised neighbourhood policing. we are putting more resources into neighborhood policing, which gives us the ability to respond to those community concerns, to make those improvements that our community needs to see and thereby improve the trust and thereby improve the cycle of getting more intelligence, more information, and allowing us to make those long—term sustainable improvements. let's take a look at the tubes now. the central line has severe delays. the overground has no service between willesden junction and shepherd's bush, with severe delays between liverpool street and cheshunt, enfield town and chingford. and the piccadilly line has minor delays. time for the weather now with kawser. hello. good morning. a very windy start to the day. a gust of 54 miles per hour recorded in northolt overnight. and it stays very windy, courtesy of storm jocelyn this morning. but that storm continues to clear

out towards scandinavia during the day today and the winds will gradually start to ease. there is plenty of dry and bright weather around as well this morning too. some spells of sunshine around. cloud will tend to build though as we head through the day, making the sunshine hazy. and temperatures by the afternoon reaching around 10 to 12 celsius. now, those winds will continue to ease as we head into this evening as well. cloud continues to thicken from the west. some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle arriving by the early hours as well. and temperatures overnight, well, staying on the mild side, lows of 7 to 8 degrees. and it means for tomorrow, for thursday, quite a cloudy and damp day in store. still quite mild. friday, too, an improving day with more in the way of brighter weather to follow. and, for the weekend, it's largely dry and bright. that's your forecast for now. that's it. i'll see you in half an hour.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. in the last half hour, we've heard that the regulator ofcom has suggested that royal mail could cut its postal days — and only deliver letters on five or three days of the week, rather than the current six days. we're joined now by business and trade minister kevin hollinrake. morning and trade minister kevin hollinrake. to you. first c reaction morning to you. first of all, your reaction to the report from ofcom. letter volumes have decreased significantly but nevertheless a six day service is really important for us citizens but also for businesses relying on saturday businesses but not least the magazine sector and the greetings card sector. we should have a debate about this and that is what ofcom has suggested that there are no clear plans about how the reform might take place. and debate

about the kind of service people want is welcome. saturday deliveries are sacrosanct in our view. we want is welcome. saturday deliveries are sacrosanct in our view.— are sacrosanct in our view. we had 'ust are sacrosanct in our view. we had just spoken _ are sacrosanct in our view. we had just spoken to _ are sacrosanct in our view. we had just spoken to ofcom _ are sacrosanct in our view. we had just spoken to ofcom and - are sacrosanct in our view. we had just spoken to ofcom and they i are sacrosanct in our view. we had just spoken to ofcom and they say| just spoken to ofcom and they say thatis just spoken to ofcom and they say that is wrong, you should be considering a five or maybe three days service. considering a five or maybe three days service-— considering a five or maybe three days service. they didn't say that. the said days service. they didn't say that. they said there _ days service. they didn't say that. they said there are _ days service. they didn't say that. they said there are different i they said there are different options for reform. this is about a national debate. that is what they said. no specific proposals. we understand some of the pressures on royal mail in terms of volume. the parcel service is increasing significantly, a good opportunity for royal mail. it is about a discussion. we want citizens and businesses to be part of that conversation and that is what will take place over the next few months. no clear plans in terms of changing the service in any particular way. you havejust the service in any particular way. you have just said that saturdays are sacrosanct. are you guaranteeing saturday deliveries will be kept? brute saturday deliveries will be kept? - have been very clear on this, we

card to a place 25 miles away, it took three days to arrive for a first class letter. someone else has beenin first class letter. someone else has been in touch to say she has now chosen to have hospital letters delivered by e—mail because she has missed too many appointments because the letters arrive after the appointment was supposed to happen. well in five said he sent items to the value £750 injanuary. i cannot say how many people have been in touch to say the service is not working. i touch to say the service is not workine. ., .. , touch to say the service is not workin.. ., .. , ., touch to say the service is not workin.. , ., , . working. i accept that. the service is unacceptable. _ working. i accept that. the service is unacceptable. i— working. i accept that. the service is unacceptable. i have _ working. i accept that. the service is unacceptable. i have met i working. i accept that. the service is unacceptable. i have met with i working. i accept that. the service i is unacceptable. i have met with the chief executive of royal mail to discuss the real concerns we have. we hear all the time from constituents and fellow members of parliament were very unhappy with the service. they have been fined by ofcom for the poor service they delivered. they are taking steps and recruiting more postal workers. quite why they had done that but we need the service to improve. ii

has turned around the economy by more than hard inflation. go back 12 months, inflation was running at 11.1% admit is now 4%. the economy was forecast to go into a dip recession and it has grown. we are reducing the number of people going over the channel. 36% reduction this year. all of the things that rishi sunak set out to do. all we see from the opposition as people with no plan, who try to prevent any measures we put in place to tackle those issues. we agree on that with simon. what we needed to hold our nerve, get our heads down over the next ten, 12 months, whatever else it is, to explain to the public why we are the right party to take the country forward, white rishi sunak is absolutely the right person to take us into the brighter future we all want to see. == take us into the brighter future we all want to see.— take us into the brighter future we all want to see. -- wh rishi sunak. doesn't look _ all want to see. -- wh rishi sunak. doesn't look great _ all want to see. -- wh rishi sunak.

of the issues we have seen particularly around illegal migration. i particularly around illegal migration-— particularly around illegal mieration. ., , , ., migration. i am sure you remember a cou-le of migration. i am sure you remember a couple of weeks _ migration. i am sure you remember a couple of weeks ago _ migration. i am sure you remember a couple of weeks ago being _ migration. i am sure you remember a couple of weeks ago being on - migration. i am sure you remember a couple of weeks ago being on this i couple of weeks ago being on this programme when we were talking about the post office scandal. i want to ask a question about where we are with that. sally stringer was here and put this to you, she said, because i want answers fairly quickly. the people who have suffered unless need compensation. i want answers from ministers, including you, about what you intend to do about the post office and fujitsu. i do not want at the end of the inquiry. i'm asking you, in an election year, what are you intending to do about it? on that date you promised to come back with an answer. what is your answer about what you intend to do about the post office and fujitsu, specifically? i have been clear. people need to get compensation as quickly as possible. people see that is fair and seem to be fair. also we get those answers. that is why we have implemented a statutory inquiry which many postmasters called for, of course.

that is looking at all of these issues. i welcome the fact fujitsu had accepted responsibility for their part in this scandal. iuntil]! their part in this scandal. will their part in this scandal. will the net their part in this scandal. will they get compensation? their part in this scandal. will- they get compensation? absolutely. we had to settle _ they get compensation? absolutely. we had to settle on _ they get compensation? absolutely. we had to settle on the _ they get compensation? absolutely. we had to settle on the right - we had to settle on the right figure. we could try the political expedient route of getting a figure now. i think we can get a much better deal for the taxpayer down the line, seeing exactly who is responsible and to what extent in the scandal. responsible and to what extent in the scandal-— loads of people picking up on the point about not even getting six deliveries a week at the moment. tony has been in touch saying in hampshire they only get three if they are lucky. jane in reading, i am lucky if i get two a week at the moment where people wondering if they reduce the number will it dry up they reduce the number will it dry up altogether? john as the sport. an emphatic win

the game unravelled quite quick. it's kind of brutal in a way. quite harsh how ruthless the game was for us. you know, six shots on target there or thereabouts. and six goals is pretty brutal. i feel massively for the players, to be honest, the effort and the attitude and came here with hopes, and in the end, we got punished. so who will chelsea face? will it be liverpool — in a repeat of the final from two years ago — or fulham? liverpool have the advantage heading in to tonight's second leg — leading 2—1 — and they're assistant manager says success in this tournament can only lead to more success later in the season. playing finals is one of the most important things for a team to develop. winning them. playing a semi—final injanuary is great in the season. being able to reach wembley, one of the most iconic stadiums

in the world is unbelievable. the former newcastle and brighton manager chris hughton has been sacked from his latestjob, as head coach of ghana, after they were knocked out of the africa cup of nations at the group stage. he'd been in charge forjust under a year. ghana are in good company, though — algeria, the 2019 champions, have also failed to make it to the knockout phase, for the second time in a row. and their exit came at the hands of mauritania, who won their first ever match at the tournament to make it through. the third seed danil medvedev remains on course for a second grand slam title after reaching the semi finals at the autralian open. it took him five sets and four hours to beat hubert hurkaxz to reach the final four. and will play carlos alcarez or alex zverev, who of course knocked out cam norrie in the fourth round, ending british interest in the men's and women's singles. so hopes still rest with britain's alfie hewett and gordon reid are on course to meet in the wheelchair singles final after reaching the last four. they both came through their quarter—final matches in straight sets.

hewett only dropped two games in beating alexander cataldo, while reid overcame tom egberink. but andy lapthorne is out of the quad singles. neil skupski remains in the mixed doubles. could we be about to see another emma raducanu moment in the women's draw? a young ukrainian dayana yastremska, has become the first qualifier to reach the semi—finals there since the late seventies. in 30 degree heat, the 23—year—old beat linda noskova in straight sets. she's ranked 93rd in the world, and has beaten two grand slam champions on her way through. raducanu famously became the first ever qulifier to win a major singles title at the us open. if she could deal out at the australian open it would be some feet. we know how hard it was for emma roger carney. that is all from me. �* ., . ~'

hello and a very good morning, i'm alice salfield. parents of children with special educational needs have told bbc london they're overwhelmed trying to get their children the schooling they need. the government says its planning to reform the system and will spend more than £10 billion by 2025. but according to figures from the ministry ofjustice, record numbers of parents in london are taking legal action against councils. there were almost five times more instances of sewage flowing into london 5 rivers last year, than during the same period the year before. according to city hall analysis of thames water data in one week in december sewage was dumped across the network equivalent to 18 hours every day. thames water said all discharges were unacceptable and new projects such as the thames tideway tunnel should capture 95% of the volume of untreated sewage currently entering the river. let's take a look at the tubes now.

the central line has severe delays. the overground has no service between willesden junction and shepherd's bush, with severe delays between liverpool street and cheshunt, enfield town and chingford. and the piccadilly line has minor delays. now onto the weather. a largely dry day with winds easing and hazy spells of sunshine for most. it will get cloudier this afternoon. but remaining mild with a top temperature of 12 degrees celsius. that's it. there's plenty more on our website. now it's back to sally and jon. bye—bye. love you i love you i

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. royal mail could reduce the number of days it delivers letters from six per week, to five or even three, under proposals to reform the service. dizzy with grief — the family of grace 0'malley—kumar, who was stabbed to death in nottingham last year, speak to breakfast about their loss and their anger. there has to be mandatory, um, prison sentences for carrying a knife. it's like carrying — it's no different to carrying a gun. it's no different to carrying a gun.

and estimates going down to three days could save up to £650 million. theo leggett reports. nina is here. this is an interesting suggestion. i wonder if a lot of people at home i do think it's incredibly extreme, but we are getting a huge response from people saying they might not get letters more than two, three times a week anyway? it more than two, three times a week an a ? , ., , , anyway? it is really interesting. there is some _ anyway? it is really interesting. there is some disappointment l anyway? it is really interesting. l there is some disappointment of anyway? it is really interesting. - there is some disappointment of the current state of pairs with royal mail but there is also a massive affection. the 0fcom regulator said postal workers are the fabric of our society, critical to communities up and down the country, but the reality is we are sending half as many letters as we were in 2011, we have gone from 20 billion letters a year to 7 billion. and so the current infrastructure is not sustainable. it is too expensive. they have told us that next day deliveries, yes, there is still a demand for them, but when they have spoken to people they say it is just

occasional. they want to move towards most letters taking a little bit longer to arrive, to make those savings. while still retaining a next—day service for a premium. this is what has happened other countries. marie indoors says it could work year. marie indoors says it could work ear. ~ ., ., marie indoors says it could work ear, ~ ., ., , marie indoors says it could work ear. . ., ., , ., marie indoors says it could work ear. ., ., , ., , year. what we are seeing today is that the number _ year. what we are seeing today is that the number of _ year. what we are seeing today is that the number of letters - year. what we are seeing today is that the number of letters we - year. what we are seeing today is that the number of letters we are | that the number of letters we are sending _ that the number of letters we are sending since 2011 has halved. something has got to give, or the service _ something has got to give, or the service will— something has got to give, or the service will be too costly and either — service will be too costly and either stamp prices will go up, or it will_ either stamp prices will go up, or it will become unsustainable. we are opening _ it will become unsustainable. we are opening a _ it will become unsustainable. we are opening a debate on this today. we are not— opening a debate on this today. we are not proposing a specific answer. we want _ are not proposing a specific answer. we want to— are not proposing a specific answer. we want to hear people's views about something _ we want to hear people's views about something that remains incredibly important to us and we'll do into the future — the future. ofcom, the watchdog, and all the future. — ofcom, the watchdog, and all she can 0fcom, the watchdog, and all she can do is start a conversation because at the end of the day it is up to ministers, they can only make the changes? ministers, they can only make the chances? ,, , ., ~ .,, changes? she is making those suggestions. _ changes? she is making those suggestions, looking - changes? she is making those suggestions, looking at - changes? she is making those suggestions, looking at wherej changes? she is making those - suggestions, looking at where the savings could come, but that saturday delivery is enshrined in legislation, so it is up to the government to make the suggestion is to trigger the changes, then it

would have to pass through parliament. at the moment of the government are saying that is not going to happen. the prime minister is already said he would be reluctant to see reduced services. that was reiterated by kevin hollinrake who spoke to us later. i do understand letter volumes have increased _ i do understand letter volumes have increased -- — i do understand letter volumes have increased —— decreased significant, but nevertheless a six service is really _ but nevertheless a six service is really important for our citizens and for— really important for our citizens and for businesses that rely on saturday— and for businesses that rely on saturday deliveries. not least the magazine sector and the greeting cards _ magazine sector and the greeting cards sector. we should have a debate — cards sector. we should have a debate about this. that is what ofcom — debate about this. that is what ofcom suggested we do. there are no clear plans _ ofcom suggested we do. there are no clear plans on how reform might take place _ clear plans on how reform might take place a _ clear plans on how reform might take place. a national conversation about the kind _ place. a national conversation about the kind of— place. a national conversation about the kind of service people want to see is— the kind of service people want to see is welcomed. but saturday deliveries are sacrosanct in our view _ view. saturday new. — saturday deliveries are view. saturday deliveries are sacrosanct. he asked for a national conversation. it feels like we have been having one this morning on the breakfast migraine box. wayne saint, may drop the stamp price and if you days a week. mary and tony saying it is already less than three days a

week. they really get the letters they need on time, particularly poignant, people say, when they sent sympathy cards. lots of postal workers have been in touch. perhaps the question should be, how overworked we are, says one postie. it is about getting those letters over the walk. we have to walk the walk. it is the distance they have to cover under the current infrastructure with the number of staff. we have heard this morning from royal mail. they say they have been calling on government and on 0fcom been calling on government and on ofcom to tackle this issue for years. the lack of action means they are now facing a much more serious situation. other countries have grasped the opportunity to change. the uk is being left behind. we find ourselves in a situation where it is a bit of a hot potato. ofcom are making these recommendations, the government wants to stay put. the business says it wants change and people wondering when those letters are going to arrive.— are going to arrive. thank you. if ofcom wanted _

navtej, what have the courts heard so far? yesterday was a very emotionally charged day here at nottingham crown court. during the sentencing hearing of valdo calocane, who has admitted killing three people, and the attempted murder of three others. we heard, as you say, distressing, sometimes graphic detail, both those killings. it was so harrowing that at times victims�* family members had to leave the courtroom. may be one of the most significant things we learned yesterday that was around the actions of grace o�*malley—kumar, who was simply walking home from a night out with her friend and fellow university student barnaby webber, when they were both attacked by valdo calocane. he attacked barnaby webber first. valdo calocane. he attacked barnaby webberfirst. and grace protected him. she tried to fight off the attacker before he then turned his

attentions to her and left them both for dead. we also heard some incredibly powerful victim impact statements. the family members described valdo calocane as a selfish monster, as a carrot, and said they would never forgive him for what he had done. and today we hear from three psychiatrists. for what he had done. and today we hearfrom three psychiatrists. —— for what he had done. and today we hear from three psychiatrists. —— as a coward. we will learn more about valdo calocane�*s mental illness. he has been the focus of attention of mental health services since 2020. he has been sacked and four times and diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. —— sanctioned four times. this hearing will continue today and is likely to conclude we understand tomorrow.— today and is likely to conclude we understand tomorrow. thank you. we will be hearing _ understand tomorrow. thank you. we will be hearing from _ understand tomorrow. thank you. we will be hearing from gray's's - understand tomorrow. thank you. we will be hearing from gray's's mum - will be hearing from gray�*s�*s mum and dad, and her brotherjames, in just a few moments. —— grace�*s. former us president donald trump has won the republican primary contest in new hampshire. mr trump is looking increasingly likely to become

the party�*s presidential candidate for the election — which will be held in november — following this key victory. however his rival, nikki haley, said the race for the presidential nomination was "far from over". the fomer cabinet secretary sir simon clarke has called for rishi sunak to be replaced as prime minister, otherwise — in his words — the conservatives face a "massacre" at the next general election. our chief political correspondent is henry zeffman. this language is really very powerful, isn�*t it? this language is really very powerful, isn't it?- this language is really very powerful, isn't it? yes, it really is. it's powerful, isn't it? yes, it really is- it's not— powerful, isn't it? yes, it really is. it's not one _ powerful, isn't it? yes, it really is. it's not one of _ powerful, isn't it? yes, it really is. it's not one of those - powerful, isn't it? yes, it really is. it's not one of those times l powerful, isn't it? yes, it really - is. it's not one of those times were is. it�*s not one of those times were politics and write something and you need me to explain to you what they really meant. sir simon clarke, a former cabinet minister, including actually being rishi sunak�*s deputy at the treasury under the boris johnson government, is really clear about what he is saying. he thinks the conservative party, under its current leader, is doomed. he is actually making two points. his first point is that the polling is extremely bad for the conservative

party. his second point is that as a result they should change leader. any things that would improve things. there aren�*t many conservative mps who i talk to in the corridors of westminster who disagree. the conservative party is in deep electoral peril, they say, and would lose a general election. where they do disagree is they think thatis where they do disagree is they think that is the fault of liz truss, not rishi sunak, and that changing leader would make things worse not better. that is some of the response you saw from senior conservatives yesterday. you also had a downing street spokesman accusing simon clarke of self—indulgence. he responded on twitter last night. he said every conservative mp will need to live with the decision they make the coming days for the rest of their lives. failing to act would itself represent a decision. look at the polls. that is the kind of argument he is going to be making two conservative mps publicly, but also privately, in the coming days. and rishi sunak�*s fate depends on them deciding whether they disagree with him. thank you.

storm jocelyn is bringing fresh disruption to many parts of the uk, with wind gusts of up to 97 miles an hour. it comes less than two days after storm isha caused severe damage and left two people dead. rail travel to and within scotland was suspended last night as a result of the strong winds and heavy rain. let�*s go now to our reporter dave guest, who is in keswick for us this morning. i know there are serious concerns about flooding there?— i know there are serious concerns about flooding there? that's right. good morning- _ about flooding there? that's right. good morning. this _ about flooding there? that's right. good morning. this is _ about flooding there? that's right. good morning. this is one - about flooding there? that's right. good morning. this is one of - about flooding there? that's right. good morning. this is one of three areas in cumbria which remain on a flood warning this morning. behind me is the river which runs through keswick. they have had the flood defences up for some time. the river itself is running higher than normal. it has been swollen by continual rain in recent days. it has stopped for now. the other problem has been with. currently the ghost of just problem has been with. currently the ghost ofjust under 50 mph. that has gone down from when we arrived here this morning. still those warnings remain in place for the time being.

today, showers being blown in across scotland, northern england and northern ireland, and later on, we are looking at a new weather front bringing in thicker cloud, patchy rain, and also some drizzle. temperatures down a little bit on yesterday. as we head into the evening and overnight at the winds will drop. there will be ice to watch out for on untreated surfaces in scotland, also some frost. you can see how the cloud and rain is moving across england, wales and into northern ireland, and behind it you will find milder airfiltering in. we could also see some mist and fog patches too. tomorrow will be a cloudy day with his rain continuing to march northwards. misty, murky conditions in the south and west. breezy in the south—west. but very mild for the time of the year. thank you, carol. in the early hours of 13th june last year, three people were killed in a devastating attack in nottingham. grace o�*malley—kumar and barnaby webber — both 19—year—old students —

were on their way back from a night out when they were stabbed to death. then, 65—year—old school caretaker ian coates was attacked and left for dead. ian�*s killer took his van and drove at three other pedestrians. the city of nottingham came together to grieve. you�*ll remember how thousands of people attended vigils at the university. valdo calocane was arrested and initially denied murder charges back in november. but this week, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. he also pleaded guilty to three counts of attempted murder. although the families of the victims were consulted before the plea was accepted, grace�*s father, sanjoy kumar, said she would have been disappointed by the way the case ended. calocane is going to be sentenced in

the next few days. the court heard yesterday that grace tried to protect barnaby and fight off their attacker. i�*ve been speaking to grace�*s mum, dad and brother. they call grace a hero. and look, this is a tough watch, but they want us to hear their story. the fact that i will not see her graduate, the fact that i'll not see her marry, the fact that i will not see grandchildren is brutal. imiss... ..i miss her so much. she was my little friend. she was my pet. i�*m literally dizzy with grief. and it�*s the same every day. what would you like everyone to know

about your daughter? she was the best. and she was the glue that held the family together. and... you know, she was a beautiful child. we were incredibly proud of her. she was such a great athlete. she was a cricketer, a hockey player. and she had so much fun doing that. she was such a lovely girl — friend to her friends. she was very kind. and we did actually discuss that she was too good to be true. didn�*t we? she was. we were incredibly proud of her. we adored her. we�*re bereft without her. she was a... i just... we still really can�*t quite believe that this has happened, to be honest with you. and like both of you, she wanted to be a doctor. was that what she always wanted to do? ifound little notes in her room.

when you�*re clearing out, you find... ..you know, these little... ..these little notes. what am i going to be when i grow up? a doctor. she always wanted to be a doctor. she never had any doubt about that, ever. she didn't sit back. she actually did all the courses and she was probably one of the youngest covid vaccinators in the country and vaccinated hundreds of people. she was the best to me. since everything's happened injune, i've been completely _ lost without her. i've not just lost my older sister, but a best friend. i someone i'd go to about everything. sorry. you take your time. she�*d gone to university. she was in herfirst year away from home. but i guess you were in contact all the time. always in contact. yeah.

i'd call her if there| was any problems. she'd be the first person i'd go to. and because it was grace, she'd come back with the best advice. _ and she would always be there for me. - she was the happiest she�*d ever been in her whole life. the heartbreak is that it was her last week of university — exams had finished. there was the hockey dinner that she wanted to enjoy and we wanted her to enjoy it. grace was coming down home in two days. you know. — she's going to be home and have the best summer of her life. can we go back to the day when you found out that something had happened? how did you find out? i was at work and sinead texted me when she first heard the news in the morning. i actually put it on the family whatsapp. on the family whatsapp that something had happened. perhaps a terror attack had happened in nottingham. and um, and immediately

just being a dad, i rang grace's phone. i remember i rang it at least eight times and itjust rang out. we thought nothing of it. maybe she... ..maybe her phone had run out of batteries. we really didn�*t for a moment believe that it could have been... it said a man and a woman. and we thought, "these are just kids." i had a phone call, a text from one of grace�*s friends, who was really quite frantic that they couldn�*t get in touch with her. that barney was dead. and that grace was with barney. they left together, and we knew then, really, didn�*t we, sanjoy? everything just shattered in... ..ina moment. you just think that all these plans that she'd made. it was just unbelievable that something like this could happen to our daughter, who was... and then finding out simply walking home... ..from a night out. what was it like being in nottingham in those hours and days after it had happened?

the response, i mean, just was incredible to see, wasn�*t it, from the other students? we were overwhelmed by the number of students that had gathered. we expected a couple of hundred perhaps, but indeed there was thousands. it was incredibly emotional for us. i mean, we were feeling numb, but there was so much love there. the flowers and the poems is really something to behold. she was a best friend of mine, my mother. _ she was a best friend of mine, my mother. my— she was a best friend of mine, my mother, my father, _ she was a best friend of mine, my mother, my father, all— she was a best friend of mine, my mother, my father, all her- she was a best friend of mine, myl mother, my father, all her friends. and if_ mother, my father, all her friends. and if there's — mother, my father, all her friends. and if there's only— mother, my father, all her friends. and if there's only one _ mother, my father, all her friends. and if there's only one message i mother, my father, all her friends. i and if there's only one message that comes— and if there's only one message that comes out— and if there's only one message that comes out of— and if there's only one message that comes out of this, _ and if there's only one message that comes out of this, i _ and if there's only one message that comes out of this, i urge _ and if there's only one message that comes out of this, i urge you - and if there's only one message that comes out of this, i urge you all- and if there's only one message that comes out of this, i urge you all to. comes out of this, i urge you all to cherish— comes out of this, i urge you all to cherish every— comes out of this, i urge you all to cherish every moment _ comes out of this, i urge you all to cherish every moment you - comes out of this, i urge you all to cherish every moment you spend i comes out of this, i urge you all to. cherish every moment you spend with your loved _ cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones _ cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones. you _ cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones. you just— cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones. you just never- cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones. you just never know| your loved ones. you just never know when _ your loved ones. you just never know when it _ your loved ones. you just never know when it will— your loved ones. you just never know when it will end _ when it will end. i when it willend. iwant— when it will end. i want people i when it will end. i want people to| when it will end. - i want people to hear her when it will end. _ i want people to hear her story. and i want people to hear her story. and i want _ i want people to hear her story. and i want people — i want people to hear her story. and i want people to _ i want people to hear her story. and i want people to know— i want people to hear her story. and i want people to know the _ i want people to hear her story. and i want people to know the amazing i i want people to know the amazing person _ i want people to know the amazing person she — i want people to know the amazing person she was. _ i want people to know the amazing person she was, because - i want people to know the amazing person she was, because that - i want people to know the amazing person she was, because that is i i want people to know the amazing i person she was, because that is what she deserved — person she was, because that is what she deserved. the _ person she was, because that is what she deserved. the outpouring - person she was, because that is what

the amber weather warning them out of his our earlier has now expired. there are gales in the north of the country disruption possible. the centre of storm jocelyn has moved away. a lot of cloud coming in behind. some of it is high cloud meaning any sunshine is hazy. we continue with gales for a time in the north. it will still be windy into the afternoon, particularly to the east of the pennines. a fair bit of dry weather around. the other thing that is happening, thicker cloud will come into the south—west by introducing patchy rain and drizzle later. temperature wise, down on yesterday, eight to 12 being the maximum. into the evening and overnight a lot of dry weather to start. the risk of ice and frost in the north of the country, possibly

mist and fog. the weather front producing cloud, patching light rain and drizzle continues to move north. murky skies following behind into the south—west. milder air comes in as well. the temperature will rise behind this weather front as we go through the course of the night. tomorrow a brighter note in the north but it will not last. it will take cloud and rain with it. we hang on to the murky conditions across the south and west. some more rain coming in across wales. it will be a breezy day as well. the strongest winds across the north west. temperature is widely ten to 13. thank you. it is chilly here though. four new emperor penguin colonies have been identified in antarctica, bringing the number of known nesting sites around the white continent to 66. they were found through satellite images, allowing scientists to track colonies relocating due to climate change. we're joined now by peter fretwell — who made the discovery — from the british antarctic survey.
