at the post office after the chairman of the organisation stood down yesterday. henry staunton left the role following the fall—out from the horizon it scandal. but there's confusion over whether it was by "mutual consent" as reported by the government, or whether he was asked to leave, as the post office says. our political correspondent iain watson has the latest. it has been thrown out enough, that is it, i am free. it has been thrown out enough, that is it. i am free-— is it, i am free. dismantled resisted — is it, i am free. dismantled resisted his _ is it, i am free. dismantled resisted his 2006 - is it, i am free. dismantled| resisted his 2006 conviction is it, i am free. dismantled - resisted his 2006 conviction for embezzlement had been overturned, but many more former sub—postmasters are waiting for their names to be cleared. the government is rushing registration through parliament to do so and now changing some of those at the top of the organisation. this weekend the business secretary picked up her phone to this man, henry thornton, and asked him to stand down as chairman of the post office. appointed just over a year ago, there is no suggestion he was involved in the horizon scandal. the

business secretary has been focusing on the response to the scandal. in a statement, she said... the post office told us over and over, you are the only one. the reason for _ over, you are the only one. the reason for that _ over, you are the only one. the reason for that hate _ over, you are the only one. the reason for that hate and scrutiny is his itv drama at the start of the year when those portrayed in the series was a conservative politician who campaigned for victims of the scandal. he told bbc that he hadn't known in advance about the post office's chairman's departure. i wasn't expecting it because he has only been in the position of chairman for a year now, but it may present an opportunity because there is a huge challenge at the post office, changing the culture. campaigners have campaigned about

bonuses paid to post office management and accused the publicly owned company over foot dragging. those that know him so he had been keen to speed this up. with an ongoing public enquiry and demands for a wider leadership shakeup, it is possible they will have more changes to make. iain watson, bbc news. we will talk to a former sub—postmasters about the implications of that departure and what may happen next in this scandal. let us check in on the rest of today's main stories. good morning. good morning. the un agency for palestinian refugees has urged countries which have paused funding for the organisation to reconsider. the decision was made after allegations that some unrwa staff were involved in the october 7 attacks by hamas designated a terror organisation by the uk. the organisation's head, philippe lazzarini, has warned that the pause in financial support

could force the agency to suspend their humanitarian response. our correspondent mark lowen has more. crushed from the air. lives, homes, families, and now the very mission set up to help gaza's desperate is taking a hit, too — the un agency for palestinian refugees — or unrwa — firing several employees for alleged involvement in hamas's assault on israel. a body set up to protect accused of attack. britain and a handful of other countries have now paused their funding. the foreign office said it was appalled by claims of complicity in what it called a heinous act of terrorism. hamas stormed israel on october 7, killing more than 1,200 people and abducting at least 240. israeli intelligence has reportedly passed on material said to show the participation

of unrwa staff and the use of its vehicles and facilities. its government has seized on the allegations as the world remembers another massacre. translation: it was proven on international holocaust remembrance day what we've been saying for years — that the unrwa employees are collaborators with the terrorist organisation, hamas, and that the un has become not only a place where the existence of the state of israel is delegitimised, but also a place where employees are physically collaborating in the extermination of israel. the un, which has frequently batted away past israeli criticism, says it's horrified by the news, and will ensure any unrwa employee shown to have participated or abetted what transpired on october 7, or in any other criminal activity, be terminated immediately and referred for potential criminal prosecution. but as israel's offensive intensifies, driving 80% of gazans from their homes,

the un plays a vital role there and, say some, a mission with 30,000 staff shouldn't be tarred by the violations of a few. it certainly looks as if there is cause to be concerned about the actions of some of the members of unrwa, the un relief and works agency, but that does not, and nor should it, impugn the entire agency and all the body of work that they're doing. they have helped save literally thousands of lives in gaza. they do important work. the worst attack in israel's history has left scars here that will last generations. and with trauma comes rage towards those who aided the aggressors, not the victims. israel has long accused the un of bias, anti—semitism and worse. another foreign minister has called unrwa the civilian arm of hamas and said it should not operate in gaza once the conflict ends. there is real anger here at these very serious allegations. but for a government

increasingly under pressure, it's also an opportunity to bolster its argument. mark lowen, bbc news, jerusalem. a fire on an oil tanker with links to britain has been put out after it was hit by a missile fired by the houthis off the coast of yemen. the iran—backed movement said it targeted the marlin luanda in response to "american—british aggression". the defence secretary grant shapps called the attack "intolerable and illegal" and said britain remained committed to protecting ships operating in the red sea. the beauty firm avon is still operating in russia despite the ongoing war in ukraine. the bbc has found that the firm, which has its headquarters in the uk, is recruiting new sales agents in the country and continuing production in a huge plant in the moscow region. avon says it provides "critical support" for women whose livelihoods depend on their business. firefighters in liverpool

have been dealing with the remains of a huge fire, which engulfed a four—storey building yesterday. huge plumes of smoke could be seen across the city, including over goodison park during everton's fa cup tie against luton town. the incident has now been scaled back and evacuated residents have returned home. there are no reports of injuries. major uk landmarks were lit up last night to mark holocaust memorial day, the anniversary of the concentration camp in auschwitz being liberated during the second world war. the london eye was illuminated purple to remember the millions of mostlyjewish people murdered by the nazis, as well as the victims of other genocides. it wasn't the only monument in london to take part. here's piccadilly circus with a giant digital vigil of candles. those in cardiff could see the wales millennium centre lit up in remembrance.

and the civic hall in leeds was also bathed in purple. as well as the illuminations, people were encouraged to light a candle in their window to signal their opposition to hatred and prejudice. the king has spent a second night in hospital after receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. our reporter simon jones joins us from the london clinic private hospital this morning. simon, when are we expecting the king to be released? i think it is unlikely that buckingham palace are going to give us a running commentary on the recovery of the kingdom, and in fact we may not hear formally from the palace again until he is ready to be discharged from this private clinic. but it is thought he might well then the rest of the weekend here. what we do know is that yesterday he was visited once again by queen camilla. she spent around three hours here. this was actually the third time she has visited since king charles was

admitted on friday for treatment for his enlarged prostate. we know, according to the palace, that the king himself is said to be delighted by the fact that he has been treated here. that has meant so many people are now talking about the condition he has been suffering. it is thought about one in three men over the age of 50 sufferfrom about one in three men over the age of 50 suffer from problems with enlarged prostate sending back the nhs say that when his condition was revealed to the public, on that day, its website, its page about problems with prostates was visited once every five seconds and the interest has continued ever since then. we are of course in a rather unusual situation here at this clinic because not one, but two senior members of the royal family are being treated here. catherine, princess of wales, remains here for her 13th day having had surgery to her 13th day having had surgery to her abdomen. tight security here, but in a way perhaps easier for the

the royal caribbean's icon of the seas, has set sail from miami on its maiden voyage. it is the size of a small island, isn't it? it has 20 decks, seven swimming pools, six waterslides, and more than a0 restaurants and bars. i think that is quite a high ratio of waterside to ship. it can carry up to 8,000 passengers. but environmental groups have criticised the use of liquefied natural gas, lng, to power the ship which they say is more damaging than regularfuel oil. very bright coloured water slides. here's simon with a look at this morning's weather. the weather today will be very mild, temperatures way above the average for this time of year. some sunshine

away from israel. hello, and welcome to unspun world. is the war in gaza beginning to slip away from israel? and are we seeing the start of a wider middle east conflict? for all of the words and all of the warnings, here we are, months on, and so many red lights are flashing across the region. after its involvement with the three hs — hamas, hezbollah and the houthis — is iran getting an inflated sense of its own importance? the iranian authorities felt overconfident in projecting their power in the middle east and they felt that they can get away with doing the same in pakistan. and prime minister modi of india

inaugurates the hugely controversial hindu temple in ayodhya. does it represent the start of his election campaign? there was definitely a sense of political colour in that event. it is something the government will deny. they will say this is a religious ceremony, this was something that millions of hindus have wanted. israel's long—serving prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is for the umpteenth time fighting for his political life. the opinion polls suggest that if he called an election now, his likud party would lose half its seats. the political centre, which has been in the wilderness for years, seems to be making a comeback in israel. the war in gaza is getting difficult, and international opinion has turned sharply against israel, which makes life harder for israel's supporters, countries like the us and britain.

it doesn't help that mr netanyahu refuses to consider a two—state solution for the palestinians, the only thing western countries can think of as a possible way forward. and of course, there are very real worries that the gazan war could expand to take in the entire middle east — a pretty gloomy picture all the way round, i suggested to lyse doucet, the bbc�*s chief international correspondent, who's recently back from jerusalem. since the beginning of the october 7 israel—gaza war, there has been this very long, dark shadow, and the us responded immediately to it by sending warships to the region to try to act as a deterrent, a warning shot across the bow to say, "as bad as this war is, "you cannot allow it to spread, "because that will have

unimaginable consequences." and yet, for all of the words and all of the warnings, here we are, months on, and so many red lights are flashing across the region. two groups which you might have expected to have turned strongly against israel haven't, have they? hezbollah hasn't really joined the general attack, even though it has carried out attacks of its own, and the palestinian population of israel itself has stayed very quiet, hasn't it? well, you gave two examples of people who have to fight a much longer game. hezbollah had to be seen as a standard—bearer for the palestinian cause, but it did not want to get deeply involved into a direct confrontation of its own.

it has still — still the memories of how it suffered in the 2006 lebanon—israel war, memories still raw among the lebanese population, including those who do not support hezbollah. the mood in israel is so raw, the anger so palpable, and its arab citizens, a minority, a visible minority, know that. and there are loud voices on the far right in israel who would be the first to speak out if the arab population raised their voices above the parapet. they cannot, with their own lives as citizens of israel at stake. this moment is simply too fragile, too volatile. how important is it that all through all of this, benjamin netanyahu has been absolutely determined

to destroy the notion of two states living side by side, israel and palestine? i mean, this war in some ways makes it much, much harder, doesn't it? it may take a while. there are those who say that this will take generations on both sides to deal with this, the deepest of trauma. but there are others, john, who say, "no, no, no, you have to use these dramatic moments to push forward "with a dramatic proposal" — "a big plan," as one arab foreign minister told me, that president biden should come up with. and right now, it is prime minister netanyahu principally and his far—right coalition which is using their opposition to a palestinian state ever as their calling card.

i noticed that the united nations, for instance, is talking about going deeper into catastrophe. we run out of words, don't we, eventually? i have to say, john, even when it started, i had never seen such blunt, such stark language used by un agencies, heads of aid agencies, describing scenes as apocalyptic op eds by a group of some of the best—known humanitarian leaders saying they have seen suffering all of their lifetimes but never have they seen suffering like this. and yet...this is a war of two solitudes, that the israelis, for the most part, on their television screens, they're seeing the israeli forces going into gaza, destroying hamas tunnels, destroying the infrastructure,

killing commanders, hearing, too, the painful stories of the hostages, their protests night and day in cities across israel. and if you're watching screens in the arab world, you see it from the perspective of hamas, fighting the good fight against thejewish invaders, the stories of the suffering people of gaza. the two sides are talking past each other, unable at this moment to feel each other�*s pain or even to care that they cannot do it. only a few months ago, iran seemed to be in deep trouble thanks to the resistance at home to its fierce controls over the way people behave and the clothes they wear. now, though, the war in gaza has given iran a major boost with its influence over hamas

and over hezbollah in lebanon and, of course, over the houthis in yemen. but when iran attacked the territory of its neighbour, pakistan, it was given a bloody nose. i spoke to siavash ardalan of bbc persian. well, you have this area called baluchistan. this ethnic baluch live both on the iranian side and on the pakistani side. and they're a very underprivileged group of people suffering from years of discrimination. you had insurgencies on both sides of the borders against the central government of the other side of the border. the iranian authorities felt overconfident in projecting their power in the middle east and they felt that they can get away with doing the same in pakistan. someone in the iranian higher levels of decision—making thought that if it can do that, if it's a strategy that's effective with the israelis,

with the americans on the western flank of the borders, then they can probably do the same with pakistan. so overconfidence, you think, perhaps the feeling that they're doing well in other parts of the middle east and so that they could do something against pakistan. absolutely. that's how they felt. i mean, you read a lot of articles, a lot of scholarly pieces by analysts who think that iran now is having the upper hand geopolitically in the region. do you think that iran is expecting that the war will expand and perhaps include iran at some stage? they are, i think, ready for what's going on now, for much lower confrontation levels and for a full—fledged war. so it's invested everything in, one, proxy groups and, two, missiles, ballistic missiles that are now very, very precise

and as good as what the israelis could be using or the russians. and that's become a very powerful deterrent against any war. do you see any signs that iran is going to encourage hezbollah to raise its level of attacks in northern israel? i don't think iran wants a direct confrontation with israel. it doesn't want to do anything that may bring about that confrontation and it doesn't want to lose its assets in the region. and what asset's more powerful and bigger than the hezbollah? their strategy is trying to contain israel, trying to deter israel, trying to expand their own sphere of influence, get the americans out of the middle east, but, at the same time, do all that without a direct military confrontation. it's a tall order! how much do you think the political and military structures in iran are singing from the same hymn sheet?

what you do have now, which a lot of people don't talk about any more, is the emergence of a new class of, let's say, iranian neo—cons. young revolutionaries who are inspired by very old clerics, militant conservative clerics. they now seem to have ascended in iranian politics and even are driving out some of the more... very conservative figures within the regime itself. but they are themselves conservative, or neo—conservatives. absolutely. they are neo—conservatives with their own views, more confrontational, engaging in more brinksmanship than you would expect from the conservatives. has the protest movement died down, or are we just not hearing about it because there's so many other things going on in the region? it's pretty much died down, but it has come at a huge cost for the government, because the legitimacy crisis

that the revolutionaries, the revolutionary government and the clerical establishment, have suffered is unprecedented. they always prided themselves on the fact that their social base lies with the poorer, underprivileged class, but now they can't rely on that any more because those very same people have turned against the government because of its both repressive policies and because of the dire economic condition that the country is suffering as a result, really, at the end of the day, as a result of his foreign policy, as a result of us sanctions. at this point, people are not asking... ..are not blaming the americans. so if there are sanctions imposed on us, that's the fault of the ruling clerics. that's how the mindset has shifted. and that's a huge shift. back in 1992, in india, the bharatiya janata party, the bjp, was regarded by many as just another fringe extremist religious group in a complex country which mostly tried

to avoid sectarian divisions. but that year, the bjp spearheaded a campaign to pull down a 16th—century muslim mosque at ayodhya and replace it with a hindu temple dedicated to the lord ram. it was the start of the bjp's climb to power under its leader, narendra modi. elections are expected in india in the next few months, and mr modi chose to inaugurate the new temple in ayodhya now, even though it's not even fully finished. yogita limaye, the bbc�*s south asia correspondent, spoke to me from lucknow on the way back from watching the ceremony at ayodhya. the event that has taken place, no major opposition political parties attended it. even a lot of hindu religious

leaders did not attend it. and when we were out there, in addition to obviously banners and posters of the temple, you know, literally you couldn't go about a few metres without seeing a banner or a poster with the prime minister's face on it. there were banners and posters about the different welfare programmes that the prime minister has started, which we also saw along the way. so there was definitely a sense of political colour in that event. it is something the government will deny. they will say this is a religious ceremony, this was something that millions of hindus have wanted and that's what we've done, that's what we fulfilled, but certainly, widely being seen as the start of his campaign for the election. and why should some people boycott it? why should some hindu leaders not be there? the temple actually hasn't been fully completed. they do say that it will take up to next... ..to the end of next year to be completed. when we were there,

you know, it really looked like a construction site. but over the few days before the event, they managed to spruce up the ground floor, which does seem to have been constructed in a way that it looks actually quite grand and almost fully complete. and so hindu religious leaders are saying that you shouldn't be moving an idol and consecrating an idol in a temple that is unfinished. that goes against hindu rituals. and that's why they said they wouldn't be attending the event. there were other religious leaders who also said that, "why is the prime minister carrying out this event? "this is a religious event. there should be hindu "religious leaders who are involved." and, of course, that's not the only reason why this opening is controversial. presumably, when you say that, you mean because it does seem like a slap in the face for the muslim population of india. well, yeah, because of the divisive history of the site — so ijust go back really quickly for our audiences — is that up until 1992, there was a 16th—century mosque

which stood at the site. now, many hindus believe that that was actually built by a muslim emperor, babur, after destroying a hindu temple there. in1992... ..hundreds of thousands of hindu mobs tore that down with hammers, swords. it is something that the supreme court of india called an egregious violation of the law. eventually, the legal dispute was settled in a court of law. in 2019, the supreme court handed over that site to hindus. however, what occurred in 1992, that triggered religious violence across the country. thousands of people were killed. we went to meet muslims in ayodhya and for them, that day evokes painful memories. why didn't political leaders come and reach out to us and say, you know, "what happened to you was wrong? "why didn't they show compassion? "isn't the prime minister for us as well, "or is he only for the hindus?"

and, of course, the whole business about the temple is how the bjp developed from a smallish political party to being the dominant force it is now. the support of the temple is part of a larger thing. it's part of an aggressive assertion of hinduism, and it's essentially that which has, to a great extent — i wouldn't say the only reason, because there are other reasons like economy and development — but to a great extent that is the reason which has taken them into this position where they are seen as virtually undefeatable now. many are expecting that prime minister modi will sweep the upcoming election as well because of the inauguration of this temple. and no other political forces had much of a chance? i mean, the congress party, for instance, doesn't stand any chance, you think? well, all major opposition parties have actually banded together, to come together, to form an alliance against prime minister modi's bjp.

if they are able to be a cohesive force right up to the election, then perhaps we... it may not be as predictable as it seems right now, but at the moment i'd say prime minister modi and his bjp definitely are in the driver's seat. i have to add, john, though, you know, the event that was held today is also controversial because india is a secular country. for a very long time, the leaders of this country have tried to separate state from religion. and when you had that imagery today of the prime minister of india sitting there consecrating an idol in a hindu temple, you know, many are asking, "where does that leave indian secularism?" we all knew when the chainsaw wielder and self—styled anarcho capitalist javier milei was elected president of argentina towards the end of last year, that there were likely to be fireworks.

there certainly have been. a rush of not—always— very—well—thought—out legislative proposals has burst out of the casa rosada, the presidential palace, and one of the country's main unions has now declared a national strike. so, president milei is in trouble already. i spoke to matias zibell of bbc mundo, himself argentinean. the unions don't have the credibility that they used to have. we are in a really difficult economic situation now in argentina, and it's before milei. it's not milei fault. and we haven't got a national strike for the last five years. so a lot of people are asking why the cgt is doing this now. so it's less of a serious challenge to the government, but perhaps more of a sign that things are in a state of complete flux.

it's the first step in a really tough year. so we will realise the impact of all these measures in march. but i think now we realise that this fight is going to last for long, it's like peronism against milei, unions against milei, and they. . .they started really early, this fight. i get the impression that these proposals that milei's put forward aren't terribly carefully thought through. or am i wrong there? no, you are not wrong. they were announced so fast. they had a lot of mistakes. now we have extraordinary sessions in the parliament. we are watching this mistake really close. for example, there was a measure that didn't allow more than three people gathered together without authorisation, which is absurd. and even the minister of the government are saying, "yeah, yes, we made a mistake with that."

so in this hurry to change completely the landscape, the government made some mistakes, and we will see if the government will pay for these mistakes. let's just go back to the question of what life is actually like in argentina at the moment. i think you'vejust come back, haven't you? yes. tell me... i was there a year ago and was really shocked, but it sounds perhaps as though it's got worse in the last year? a lot of people are watching the number of the inflation. obviously, the number of inflation is incredibly high, 160% annually. but, for me, the figure that really scares me is this figure that between 40% and 45% of the population are living under the line of poverty. that, for me, is the worst kind of index that we have. and that shows how difficult and how big is the tragedy in argentina. so a lot of people have problems to pay the rent. a lot of people have problem to pay, for example, a private medicine,

or the school of the kids. the middle class has been hit really, really hard. what is going to happen, do you think? i mean, it doesn't — and tell me if i'm wrong — but it doesn't seem as though it's possible for things to carry on in this chaotic manner. something will happen, won't it? it is, but it's really difficult to predict what is going to happen. we are in some kind of terra incognita at the moment. we... this is new for us. this idea of change everything to eradicate everything that was made before. one of the priorities of the new government is to regulate the capacity of the protest of the argentineans. he want to deregulate the market and the economy, but he wants to regulate the unrest and the ability to protest in the streets. so we understand the government is expecting a lot of unrest in the streets, and we are

starting now, injanuary. of course, everybody would have said in the past, "well, the obvious thing "that will happen is that the army will take over." but is that a possibility? no, i don't think so. we all know that the last dictatorship was so brutal that we don't want that any more. the famous sentence "nunca mas", never again. so it's really difficult to see the military again in power. some people, especially the opposition, is talking about some kind of political impeachment that we didn't have in the past. but it's a possibility that is considered in our constitution. we are talking inside democracy. we are not talking outside democracy. but, yes, we are expecting that something is going to happen. matias zibell of bbc mundo on the extraordinary goings on in argentina. israel is having an increasingly hard time of it in gaza. the killing of 24 israeli soldiers on monday has had a profound effect

on public opinion in the country. on the other side, 195 palestinians, mostly civilians, died in the same period. that disproportionality has characterised the entire war so far. 1,300 israelis were murdered on 7th october in a massacre whose barbarity still haunts anyone who's watched the videos of the aftermath. 20 times that number of palestinians have now died, according to the gaza health authority, which is hamas run. a large proportion of them have been women and children, who've died under dreadful circumstances. but the divisions created by benjamin netanyahu's war policy are widening inside israel itself. the former labour prime minister ehud barak has echoed the famous

line from the british parliament in 1940 against mr netanyahu. "in the name of god, go!" he said. mr barak is no peacenik. he's the most decorated israeli soldier ever. but like him, more and more israelis are starting to see this not as israel's war in gaza, but as mr netanyahu's war. now the israeli army says it's surrounded the gazan city of khan yunis, and it believes the leaders of hamas are hiding there. if it can indeed capture the hamas leadership, things might change. but if not, mr netanyahu will have a big political struggle on his hands, as well as the conflict against hamas. well, that's it from another edition of unspun world. from the team and from me,

until we meet again, goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with luxmy gopal and ben thompson. our headlines today: calls for more changes at the top of the post office as the company's chairman steps down amid ongoing tensions over the horizon computer scandal. nine countries suspend funding to the un agency for palestinian refugees over claims staff helped hamas on october 7. the head of the organisation condemns the move as "shocking". the fa cup dream continues for non—league maidstone united.

their win at ipswich makes them the lowest ranked team to get this far in the competition since the 1970s. all sing # sweet caroline... after the celebrations, the wait to find out who they'll take on in the last 16. good morning. we have some rain and strong winds affecting the north of the uk today, but it will be dry with some sunshine and it's going to be incredibly mild. i'll bring you the details shortly. it's sunday january 28. our main story: there are calls for further leadership changes at the post office after the chairman of the organisation stood down yesterday. henry staunton had been in the role since december 2022 and left following the fall—out from the horizon it scandal. our political correspondent iain watson has the latest.

it's been thrown out and i'm...that�*s it, i'm free! rab thomson told his sister last week that his 2006 conviction for embezzlement had been overturned, but many more former sub—postmasters are waiting for their names to be cleared. the government is rushing legislation through parliament to do so, and it's now changing some of those at the top of the organisation. this weekend, the business secretary kemi badenoch picked up her phone to this man, henry staunton, and asked him to stand down as chairman of the post office. appointed just over a year ago, there's no suggestion he was involved in the horizon scandal. but the business secretary has been focusing on the post office's response to that scandal. in a statement, she said: . the post office told us over and over, "you're the only one."

the reason for that hate and scrutiny was this itv drama at the start of the year. one of those portrayed in the series was a conservative politician, james — now lord — arbuthnot who campaigned for victims of the scandal. he told the bbc that he hadn't known in advance about the post office chairman's departure. well, i'm surprised. i wasn't expecting it because henry staunton has only been in the position of chairman for a year now, but it may present an opportunity because there's a huge challenge at the post office, changing the culture. campaigners have complained about bonuses paid to post office management and accused the publicly owned company of foot dragging over compensation. those that know henry staunton say he'd been keen to speed this up, but with an ongoing public enquiry and demands for a wider leadership shake—up, it's possible that kemi badenoch will have more changes to make. iain watson, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent harry farley. harry, how soon can we expect

a new chair to be appointed? good morning. we are expecting an interim chair to be appointment shortly and recruitment will begin for more permanent replacement after that. obviously, the post office very much in the headlines at the moment and in the spotlight and there is a keenness in government to be seen to be doing something, to be proactive. we understand that the departure of henry staunton was not directly related to the post office scandal but when he oversees as board of directors one of the reported disagreements between him and the government was over the appointment over a new independent senior director on one of their roles was to oversee the horizon it shortfall scheme, one of the number compensation schemes for sub— postmasters and post— mistresses. we

put a number of questions of the government over the exact reason for the departure of henry staunton, the timing of replacement and whether can expect further changes at the top of the post office. answers were not forthcoming, and kemi badenoch, the business secretary, is speaking this morning to laura kuenssberg on bbc one. brute this morning to laura kuenssberg on bbc one. ~ ., ., ., bbc one. we will look out for that. thank ou bbc one. we will look out for that. thank you very _ bbc one. we will look out for that. thank you very much. _ bbc one. we will look out for that. thank you very much. i _ bbc one. we will look out for that. thank you very much. iwill- bbc one. we will look out for that. thank you very much. i will speak i bbc one. we will look out for that. | thank you very much. i will speak to a former postmistress in about ten minutes and talk a little bit more about the implications of the departure of henry staunton. and we have more stories. the head of the united nations has warned that critical aid for more than two million people is under threat unless countries resume funding the un agency for palestinian refugees.

the decision to pause financial aid was made after allegations that some unrwa staff were involved in the october 7 attacks by hamas, designated a terror organisation by the uk. our correspondent, mark lowen, joins us now from jerusalem. mark, what more do we know? good morning. these are pretty strong words by the secretary general of the un, antonio guterres, he says he is horrified by the accusations and he called them abhorrent alleged acts by 12 suspected employees of unrwa, who were suspected and accused by israel of involvement in the october seven attacks. he says nine of them have been fired. two of them, one of them has been killed, and two of them of having their identities checked and he said tens of thousands should not be penalised though and many in the most dangerous situations, talking about the rest of the unrwa

workforce. it has pleaded with governments to continue a guarantee that our continuity of the operations of unrwa even though the funding has been stopped. the foreign ministerfor funding has been stopped. the foreign minister for israel has called for the head of the local mission of unrwa to quit, saying they should not have a role in post— conflict cars. even though there is little hope on the aid front, there is a little bit more hope on the diplomatic front with us media reporting that american negotiators are cautiously hopeful that a new deal, a new true steel, is within reach, they could see a two month ceasefire in gaza and release of israeli hostages and palestinian prisoners. it will be thrashed out and talks to begin in paris soon. thank you. a fire on an oil tanker with links to britain has been put out after it was hit by a missile fired by the houthis off the coast of yemen. the iran—backed movement said it targeted the marlin luanda in response to "american—british aggression".

the defence secretary grant shapps called the attack "intolerable and illegal" and said britain remained committed to protecting ships operating in the red sea. a russian hgv driver has beenjailed for four years after pleading guilty to smuggling migrants from the uk to france. the 39—year—old was stopped by border force officers in august at dover docks. 22 migrants including a five—year—old girl were found hiding inside his trailer. the national crime agency says they were attempting to avoid french border immigration. firefighters in liverpool have been dealing with the remains of a huge fire, which engulfed a four—storey building yesterday. huge plumes of smoke could be seen across the city, including over goodison park during everton's fa cup tie against luton town. the incident has now been scaled back and evacuated residents have returned home. there are no reports of injuries.

major uk landmarks were lit up last night to mark holocaust memorial day, the anniversary of the concentration camp in auschwitz being liberated during the second world war. the london eye was illuminated purple to remember the millions of mostly jewish people murdered by the nazis as well as victims of other genocides. it wasn't the only monument in london to take part. here's piccadilly circus, with a giant digital vigil of candles. those in cardiff could see the wales millennium centre lit up in remembrance. and the civic hall in leeds was also bathed in purple. as well as the illuminations, people were encouraged to light a candle in their window to signal their opposition to hatred and prejudice. the king has spent a second night in hospital after receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. our reporter simonjones joins us from the london clinic private hospital this morning. simon — when are we expecting

the king to be released? not at the moment because buckingham palace are not giving a running commentary on the treatment of the king and the timetable for departure. i think the palace believe it is a private matter but say they are being open with the public about what the king is being treated for. we do know that yesterday he was visited by queen camilla, she spent about three hours here, the third time she has visited the clinic over the past couple of days, since the king arrived on friday and on friday she told staff here that he was doing well. i think the palace, if anything good comes out of this, they are feeling that everyone now seems to be talking now about the issue of enlarged prostate, which in the past people may have veered shy to talk about because it is a condition which affects one in three men over the

age of 50 and the nhs say that since it was announced that the king was going to have treatment, their website has received a massive number of hits with people looking for further information about the condition. it is a strange situation at this clinic this morning, though, because they are treating two senior members of the royal family, which is why there is such a big police presence, and catherine the princess of wales is here, arriving 13 days ago for surgery on her abdomen. clearly, a serious condition unlikely to be out of the spotlight until after easter. certainly a challenging time for security and for the royal family, certainly, we may see more visits today to the two patients inside. the world's largest cruise ship, the royal caribbean's icon of the seas, has set sail from miami

at this morning's weather. we have some windy conditions and rain for others. the uk is always very interesting, weatherwise. good morning. for most of us, a dry day today with sunny spells and temperatures are above average for this time of year. what is going on? southerly winds bringing in milder air, and one where front coming from the west and behind that cold air will move its way in as we go into tomorrow, but maximum temperatures, about 15 celsius, compare these temperatures to the for this time of year. we are nine celsius above average but normally four degrees above average! it will be mild and it will be helped by the sunshine for most of us. that sunshine across central and eastern areas will see a bit more cloud towards southwest

england. my card moving into northern ireland after some sunshine and sunshine also eastwards and the rain was spreading and wind strengthening particular to the east of northern ireland and across the central belt. could be some strong crosswinds for the m8 so watch out for that as we go through the day and stronger winds through the far north of scotland, up to perhaps 80 mph for the western islands through the afternoon. these are the temperatures, about 12— 15 celsius, and that sunshine will feel quite pleasant if you are out and about. randall continued to move eastward scotland into wales and —— the rain will continue. remember icy cold air was moving behind that front? tonight there will be some frost across scotland further south and east, milderairtemperature across scotland further south and east, milder air temperature is about 7— nine celsius. the colder

error across scotland and look at the weather front on monday, which will divide the country up between the milder and colder air but there will be sunshine across scotland and northern ireland throughout monday but this area of rain, perhaps some hills snow in the southern uplands and far north of england over the north pennines and further south, driver sunshine and maximum temperatures of 14 or maybe 15 degrees celsius but actually are particularly north, with temperatures of about eight degrees. a little bit of everything. the time is 16 minutes past seven. we've been talking this morning about the chair of the post office stepping down from his role afterjust over a year, amid fall—out from the horizon it scandal. hundreds of sub—postmasters were wrongly accused of fraud, theft or false accounting due to faulty computer software. we'rejoined now byjo hamilton whose story features in the itv drama mr bates vs the post office.

compensation and financial redress, because let's face it a large amount of the money they are waiting for is money stolen from them, and i think it is shameful, grant shapps last year said everybody would be paid by december, that has not happened. now they are saying this year, kind of, but we will extend the deadline just in case two august next year, by that time it will be six years since the group litigation at court. the business secretary said there —— she felt there was a need for new membership at the post office, and mr staunton who has stepped down only in thatjob since december 2022, is this not an attempt to bring about a fresh start, the ship at the post office at which might address some of those concerns you have about variable being done put this right? i have about variable being done put

is now a real trust issue about the brand, the post office overall. how do you ever think will rebuild or regain the trust of the public? i mean, it's radical but i think it should go, it should be sold to someone who can take it over and rebrand because nobody will have any trust in it anymore and of course the postmasters running it as their own local businesses don't really need to be tarred with the same brush. if someone took it over, they might be able to, resell it to amazon or something like that it had all the structure there and could walk in and take it over in a timely manner. i don't think is a brand can survive. , ., ., , ., manner. i don't think is a brand can survive. , ., ., i. survive. interesting to hear you say that. we survive. interesting to hear you say that- we will _ survive. interesting to hear you say that. we will hear _ survive. interesting to hear you say that. we will hear from _ survive. interesting to hear you say that. we will hear from the - survive. interesting to hear you say| that. we will hear from the business secretary later she will be on the laura kimmince berg program. what

interesting hearing about that earlier but could boxing be the key to managing the symptoms of parkinson's disease. we will meet the group using that physical exercise to fight the condition. and as we said a lot more sport coming up as we said a lot more sport coming up as well, notjust about the incredible underdog victory by maidstone united. a lot more of your sports round—up as well. in all your photos of your pets watching us on television. we spoke about that earlier how dogs love watching the television. goodbye to viewers on bbc one.

hello, this is breakfast with luxmy gopal and ben thompson. when the bank northern rock collapsed in 2008, thousands

of homeowners became trapped in expensive mortgages, with many falling into debt or being forced to sell up. campaigners have compared the plight of the so called mortgage prisoners to that of the post office employees, whose lives were ruined by the horizon it scandal. now, they're also hoping for recognition and justice. our reporter simon ward has more. campaigners say hundreds of thousands of people are mortgage prisoners, trapped on high interest rates. one of them was rachel neill. she is running a campaign from leicestershire to help others. she and herfamily went leicestershire to help others. she and her family went through years of stress. she originally had a mortgage with northern rock. in 2008 when the banks — mortgage with northern rock. in 2008 when the banks collapsed _ mortgage with northern rock. in 2008 when the banks collapsed our - when the banks collapsed our mortgage was sold on and the government bailed out northern rock and then sold our mortgages on to a company that was unregulated and had no lending license. hath? company that was unregulated and had no lending license.— no lending license. why couldn't you 'ust switch no lending license. why couldn't you just switch to _ no lending license. why couldn't you just switch to a _ no lending license. why couldn't you just switch to a different _ no lending license. why couldn't you just switch to a different mortgage? | just switch to a different mortgage? when we tried we searched the

i passed to the ball any positive ban and that is already three completed passes. in 20 minutes, only 22... that is almost impossible to achieve! it shows you the achievement not only what they manage in terms of the greater whole but also just the match! they'll being swamped by ipswich in the first period unless you managed to win it. we go! i first period unless you managed to win it- we go!— win it. we go! i am loving the statistics! _ win it. we go! i am loving the statistics! you _ win it. we go! i am loving the statistics! you could - win it. we go! i am loving the statistics! you could write - win it. we go! i am loving the statistics! you could write a l statistics! you could write a booklet of these! but statistics! you could write a booklet of these!— statistics! you could write a booklet of these! �* ., , ., booklet of these! but we only have until nine o'clock! _ booklet of these! but we only have until nine o'clock! there _ booklet of these! but we only have until nine o'clock! there are - booklet of these! but we only have until nine o'clock! there are only i until nine o'clock! there are only two shots on target... what a day it was for maidstone united, who will be in the pot for the fifth round for the first time in their history. they were liquidated in 1992, had to play out of the town for the best part of two decades but now have pulled off a famous fa cup upset to beat ipswich 2—1. ben croucher has the story. if anybody says the fa cup doesn't mean as much these days, they're probably not from maidstone.

for 90 minutes, you saw a team together, a town transformed. this one binds us for life now, the last round didn't do, we are tied, the club, the community, supporters we richly deserve days like this. we are tied for life, we are bound for life. the bonds could have been broken by an early ipswich onslaught but they had this rock at the back, shot after shot repelled, 18 in the first half alone, maidstone had just one, maidstone needed just one. having fallen from the football league to the kent league three decades ago, moments like the one lamar reynolds produced was what the comeback was all about. ipswich wanted a say and while their barrier was breached, maidstone flooded forward in hope, in inspiration. maidstone have done it again!

when maidstone's name is read out in the draw, it's the first time since 1978 a team from outside the top five tiers has made the last 15. an achievement worth making a song and dance about. all sing # sweet caroline. . .! ben croucher, bbc news. there was late drama at goodison park where luton scambled a winner through cauley woodrow in the 96th minute, the 2—1victory knocking everton out. it's only the second time in more than a decade that luton have reached the fifth round. there was a morale boosting win for eddie howe's newcastle. dan burn with their second goal as they beat fulham 2 nil at craven cottage. the fa cup is newcastle's remaining route to winning a trophy this season. joao pedro scored a first career hat—trick as brighton won 5—2 at sheffield united. the brazilian now has 18 goals to his name this season.

it was an all championship affair as leaders leicester saw off birmingham by 3 goals to nil. jamie vardy scored the opener — his first goal in more than two months. there are four more fa cup fourth round games today. liverpool play for the first time since managerjurgen klopp announced he was leaving the club at the end of the season with championship norwich visiting anfield while manchester united have a trip to league two side newport county. it's united's last realistic chance of winning silverware this season. the qualification of the champions league so probably, it is this effect and the last opportunity for the trophy so, yeah, we will go for it. port vale have said they condemn the actions of the individual who entered the field of play after a fan ran

across the pitch to confront the referee in their home defeat by portsmouth. play was briefly halted late on after referee craig hicks had to leave the field in order to avoid the supporter in the league one game. hicks had given portsmouth a late penaltyjust minutes before. scottish premiership leaders celtic are still five points ahead of rangers after beating ross county 1—nil. before that, rangers won 1—nilat st mirren, cyriel dessers the scorer inside 15 minutes. that's three league wins in a row for rangers who still have a game in hand on the leaders. defending champions chelsea extended their lead at the top of the women's super league table with a 3—nil victory at brighton. laurenjames scored twice as chelsea secured all three points. victory takes them six points clear of rivals manchester city and arsenal who both play later today while james is now the league's joint—top scorer with 12 goals in 11 matches. in words familiar from friday's announcement byjurgen klopp,

barcelona's head coach xavi says he's given everything he has and will leave his post at the end of the season. his decision follows a run of poor results this season culminating in a 5—3 home defeat to villarreal last night. they're 10 points adrift of league leaders real madrid. xavi is one of the club's most famous players and won the league title last season as coach. ollie pope has given england a chance of winning the first test in india, both with a bat in his hand and doing some catching too. he made 196 in the tourists' second innings total of 420 in hyderabad, his best score against a major cricketing nation. with partners running out he tried to get to his double century but was the last wicket to fall. daniil medvedev will hope its third time lucky when he takes onjannik sinner in the australian open men's singles final this morning. number three seed medvedev is playing his third final in four years.

he's also already been on court for 20 hours this time, 6 more than fourth seed sinner. not as many hours or sets until this tournament, only one time in my life i managed to come back from two sets —— love down in five sets, my statistics are not great but i'm proud that i am changing this tournament and i had some tough matches and opponents, they were playing well and managed to be one of the two people on sunday and i'm really happy. northampton saints will go into rugby's six nations break at the top of the premiership table after a comprehensive victory over newcastle falcons. three tries gave saints a 19—13 half—time lead before tom james wrapped up the bonus point ten minutes after the interval. further tries secured up a 38—13 win, meaning newcastle's wait for their first league win continues. owen farrell kicked 15

points as he led saracens to a 40—22 win over exeter chiefs in his first game since his move to racing 92 was announced. the bonus—point win for saracens moves them a point above exeter into fourth place in the premiership. luke littler was back in another darts final but this time suffered defeat at the dutch masters. after beating former world champion gerwyn price in the semis, the now 17—year—old was up against home favourite michael van gerwen and nearly made a 170 checkout to take the match to a decider. but the 3—time world champion, who lost to littler in the final in bahrain last weekend, this time claimed an 8 legs to 6 victory. another teenager was making the headlines at cheltenham on saturday where there was a huge upset in the clarence house chase. the big favouritejonbon was beaten by the outsider elixir du nutz. it's a first grade 1 victory for his 18 year—old jockey freddie gingell and his unclejoe tizzard, who trains the horse. england beat new zealand by one goal in an incredible game

to reach the final of netball�*s nations cup in leeds. they'll now play the world champions australia later today who they lost to last weekend. it was a frantic match. both sides could have won it. england getting over the line byjust one point. 58—57, it finished. so it will be a replay of last year's world cup final, and england will hope this time they can win it. earlier, we had 20 completed passes, two shots on target and tpm is a draw for the fifth round which makes maidstone united one of the few to ensure they have a place. this maidstone united one of the few to ensure they have a place.— maidstone united one of the few to ensure they have a place. as well as all of these — ensure they have a place. as well as all of these amazing _ ensure they have a place. as well as all of these amazing statistics, - ensure they have a place. as well as all of these amazing statistics, you i all of these amazing statistics, you are the authority on pronunciation, because i've always said made, stone. , ._ . stone. put it this way, ben, he did the piece. — stone. put it this way, ben, he did the piece. he's _ stone. put it this way, ben, he did the piece, he's from _ stone. put it this way, ben, he did the piece, he's from kent - stone. put it this way, ben, he did the piece, he's from kent and - stone. put it this way, ben, he did the piece, he's from kent and he l

friends and those on social media. that is the secret as to why companies are willing to pay so much for the ad space, not the people who will see it in las vegas but on videos shared all around the globe. last week we brought you some of the highlights from the consumer electronics show in las vegas, we could not fit it all into one program so we have more from those tech laden isles including some of the latest innovation open to monitor and mend our health like never before. this device which is might be able to help us for some remote doctors appointment data, it has —— like having the kit you have in a surgery it does the temperature

mass data and ai come together. that is it for the short version of the program from here in las vegas, the ruling show can be found on iplayer. we have had a blast, i hope you enjoyed it, thank you for watching, and we will see you soon. goodbye.

so, and it's now changing some of those at the top of the organisation. this weekend, the business secretary kemi badenoch picked up her phone to this man, henry staunton, and asked him to stand down as chairman of the post office. appointed just over a year ago, there's no suggestion he was involved in the horizon scandal. but the business secretary has been focusing on the post office's response to that scandal. in a statement, she said: the post office told us over and over, "you're the only one." the reason for that hate and scrutiny was this itv drama at the start of the year. one of those portrayed in the series was a conservative politician, james — now lord — arbuthnot who campaigned for victims of the scandal. he told the bbc that he hadn't known in advance about the post office chairman's departure. well, i'm surprised.

i wasn't expecting it because henry staunton has only been in the position of chairman for a year now, but it may present an opportunity because there's a huge challenge at the post office, changing the culture. campaigners have complained about bonuses paid to post office management and accused the publicly owned company of foot dragging over compensation. those that know henry staunton say he'd been keen to speed this up, but with an ongoing public inquiry and demands for a wider leadership shake—up, it's possible that kemi badenoch will have more changes to make. iain watson, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent, harry farley. harry, what do we know about the circumstances leading up to mr staunton stepping down? he was in post forjust over a year.

he was in post forjust over a year. we know that sheer scale of public fury over the post office prosecution of hundreds of sub—postmaster is in post mistresses over the cap might rise in a scandal which made it look like money was disappearing from post office accounts when it was not and also the post office handling of subsequent compensation claims. and when you speak to former sub—postmasters and post mistresses they accuse the post office of being too slow to pay compensation and too quick to pay themselves bonuses. in the last few minutes we have heard from the labour mp kevinjones who has campaigned for this on a number of years. he says he hopes this is the start of a wider change of leadership at the start of the post office. we put some of those questions to the government last night and asked if there were more

changes to come and precise reasoning behind the departure of henry staunton but the business secretary will be speaking later this morning to laura kuenssberg. the head of the united nations has warned that critical aid for more than two million people is under threat, unless countries resume funding the un agency for palestinian refugees. the decision to pause financial aid was made after allegations that some unrwa staff were involved in the october seventh attacks by hamas — designated a terror organisation by the uk. our correspondent mark lowen joins us now from jerusalem, mark, what more do we know? the un secretary—general has said he

is horrified by the accusations against the 12 members of staff of unrwa and most have been dismissed immediately. one has died and two are having their identities checked. he issued a strong appeal to governments to guarantee the continuity of unrwa operations after nine western countries including the uk froze as funding to unrwa an light of the allegations which israel says it is past evidence after the united nations and an investigation is under way. israel has suggested it has material showing these unrwa employees were involved in the 7th of october attacks on israel and used facilities and vehicles of unrwa but the united nation's says although it condemns these people for taking part in attacks on the allegations against the local head of unrwa has

said it is an additional collective punishment of the palestinian people by threatening the operations of unrwa an the 30,000 staff of that agency should not be tarred by the violations of a few. that is all adding to the desperate situation on the ground and gaza but there are up hopes of progress on the diplomatic front and reports that united states mediators are within reach of a two—month ceasefire in talks due to begin in paris soon. a fire on an oil tanker with links to britain has been put out after it was hit by a missile fired by the houthis off the coast of yemen. the iran—backed group said it targeted the marlin luanda

in response to american—british aggression. the defence secretary grant shapps called the attack intolerable and illegal and said britain remained committed to protecting ships operating in the red sea. a russian hgv driver has beenjailed for four years after pleading guilty to smuggling migrants from the uk to france. the 39—year—old was stopped by border force officers in august at dover docks. 22 migrants including a five—year—old girl were found hiding inside his trailer. the national crime agency says they were attempting to avoid french border immigration. firefighters in liverpool have been dealing with the remains of a huge fire which engulfed a four—storey building yesterday. huge plumes of smoke could be seen across the city, including over goodison park during everton's fa cup tie against luton town. the incident has now been scaled back and evacuated residents have returned home. there are no reports of injuries.

major uk landmarks were lit up last night to mark holocaust memorial day — the anniversary of the concentration camp in auschwitz being liberated during the second world war. the london eye was illuminated purple to remember the millions of mostlyjewish people murdered by the nazis — as well as victims of other genocides. it wasn't the only monument in london to take part. here's piccadilly circus, with a giant digital vigil of candles. those in cardiff could see the wales millennium centre lit up in remembrance. and the civic hall in leeds was also bathed in purple. as well as the illuminations, people were encouraged to light a candle in their window to signal their opposition to hatred and prejudice. the king has spent a second night in hospital after receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. our reporter simonjones joins us

from the london clinic private hospital this morning. simon, when are we expecting the king to be released? the feeling as he may spend the rest of the weekend at this private clinic but we're not getting a running commentary from buckingham palace and may not get a formal statement until he is actually discharged from hospital. what we do know is yesterday he received visit from queen camilla who was here for around three hours, the third time she has visited since king charles arrived here on friday for his treatment. i think one thing that has come out of this as everyone now seems to be talking about the issue of enlarged prostate where previously people might have felt embarrassed or shy to talk about the issue and the nhs has said its website, the page on its website that deals with this issue, has received numerous hits over the past

few days and the king himself is said to be happy that people are raising this issue no because it is thought to affect around one in three men over the age of 50. there is quite a heavy police presence at the clinic this morning because they are treating not one but two members of the royal family. as well as the king also katherine, princess of wales this year and has been here for almost two weeks, having surgery to her abdomen. we were told when she was admitted she was likely to need to spend a couple of weeks ago so it may be she is on the verge of being discharged. a lot of media interest without big police presence interest without big police presence in a lot of cameras to see if there might be any further royal visits during today and any arrivals are potentially any departures.

the world's largest cruise ship, the royal caribbean's icon of the seas, has set sail from miami on its maiden voyage. it has 20 decks, seven swimming pools, six waterslides, and more than 40 restaurants and bars. it can carry up to 8,000 passengers. but environmental groups have criticised the use of liquefied natural gas — lng — to power the ship which they say is more damaging than regularfuel oil. would you go on a cruise? i have. there always seems to be a water on every cruise ship. there was not a water slide on the ship i was on. here's simon with a look at this morning's weather.

a lovely sunrise this morning my old but not swimming pool or outdoor swimming pool weather at the moment. we had 15 degrees on your temperature board. it is way above the average. we have to remind ourselves it is january. a lovely sunrise for many of us but the milder air coming sunrise for many of us but the milderair coming infrom sunrise for many of us but the milder air coming in from the south. i have one weather front with colder air digging in behind which will be air digging in behind which will be a feature of the weather tomorrow across scotland. temperatures today, in the moray first up to 15 celsius.

——firth. with sunshine it will feel quite pleasant. sunshine most likely across central and eastern england but also wales and northern england sunny spells but more cloud in the far south west. sunshine for the time in northern ireland and scotland for the cloud thickens and rain moves in strong winds especially to the east of northern ireland and central scotland we could have quite nasty crosswinds in the central belt of 50 or 60 mph. watch out on the m8 and a1 and dust of potentially 70 mph in the outer hebrides. in eastern scotland higher temperatures, 15 degrees. mild in north—east wales and the air going over the mountains warms up. through tonight as cloud and rain moves further south, clear skies for

scotland and northern ireland and the colder digs in to temperatures here close to freezing but further south and east we hold onto the milder weather attempt is about six celsius 29 celsius. you can see this weather front splitting the uk in half. cold air to the north and mild heir to the south door a big temperature difference but rain and between which could be quite heavy across west wales and northern england and maybe snow across the north pennines and southern uplands but plenty dry sunny weather for scotland and northern ireland and temperatures about seven or eight celsius and a further south and east another male day with temperatures of 14 or 15 degrees. the weather front on tuesday will gradually disappear. fairly cloudy to east and south—eastern areas but sunshine developing elsewhere with this ridge of high pressure moving in so it will become a bit more settled into tuesday but temperatures down. about 6 degrees to 12 celsius. a bit

closer and may be a bit above average for the time of year. maybe it is ok for cold water swimming. the seas and lakes are still very cold. it is september when you get the highest temperatures. more than one in five children are persistently absent from school and mental health problems and cost of living pressures on families are said to be amongst the reasons. our reporter has been to see school in hull trying a different approach. i

was very depressed and struggled with self harm and. i was in the playground of people would push me and bully me and call me rude names. i had to leave because of it all. i had anxiety but here i am more better. so much they don't listen to you but here they do.— better. so much they don't listen to you but here they do. mental health needs are some _ you but here they do. mental health needs are some of— you but here they do. mental health needs are some of the _ you but here they do. mental health needs are some of the reasons - you but here they do. mental health l needs are some of the reasons people are referred here, there arejust over 60 places here but staff say they could fill it two or three times over.— they could fill it two or three times over. . , ., , . times over. resources are stretched and i think times over. resources are stretched and i think we _ times over. resources are stretched and i think we have _ times over. resources are stretched and i think we have lots _ times over. resources are stretched and i think we have lots of _ and i think we have lots of fantastic colleagues working in mind but there are not enough people to go around and waiting lists are really long.

see the plans to extend the programme. what the programme enables is for children and young people and families to have a mentor dedicated entirely to them and what they are able to do is build a relationship of trust with the family over a period of time during which they are able to really get to the heart of the reasons for nonattendance. you mentioned the pandemic earlier and lots of children didn'tjust suffer discontinuity of their routines in education and we know the mental health definitely suffered during that period which was a point of real pressure. the cost of living crisis has now introduced a lot of very practical challenges for families and things like cost of transport to school and having money

for school dinners and being able to afford the right uniform for school make it very difficult but mentoring and targeted approaches taken enable us to tackle some of those root causes. y ., ~ us to tackle some of those root causes. i. ~ ,., us to tackle some of those root causes. i. ~ ., us to tackle some of those root causes. ,, ~ ., causes. do you think some of those resources available _ causes. do you think some of those resources available are _ causes. do you think some of those resources available are sufficient? i resources available are sufficient? the argument is always there is never enough funding but you think thatis never enough funding but you think that is enough given to ensure the support you feel is necessary continues?— support you feel is necessary continues? , ,, ., continues? things like the mentoring ”roramme continues? things like the mentoring programme and _ continues? things like the mentoring programme and expansion _ continues? things like the mentoring programme and expansion of- continues? things like the mentoring programme and expansion of that i continues? things like the mentoring programme and expansion of that we really welcome, that sits alongside an approach that is focused around attendance helps to support schools and families with this issue but also things like mental health support teams and schools, we would really like to see peace and progress with the roll—out of mental

health support teams. we know, though, that without resource we can really make a difference, so 82% of children we worked with in middlesbrough and the attendance pilot have increased their attendance at school and another really important statistic is that through that mentoring, that same group of children, 66% of them reported an improvement in their mental health, which is your video showed as one of the key reasons for nonattendance, so this has to come as part of a bigger package of support. we would like to see things that tackle and eradicate child poverty that addressed some of the financial pressures for families which definitely drive some of the nonattendance we are seeing. i might so much for giving us your thoughts and analysis stop == so much for giving us your thoughts and analysis stop— so much for giving us your thoughts and analysis stop -- thanks so much for iiivin and analysis stop -- thanks so much

immunocompromised, young babies. and pregnant mothers. research shows the vaccine uptake is particularly low among certain groups. we have seen the statistics and in the somali community among others such as bame, there are a lot of people who have not had the vaccine. people just want to be able to have a conversation with health care providers and professionals within their own background and within their own community because i feel like there was a missed trust in the studies. that's why salma became involved in making this awareness video that's going to be translated into several languages. it also features dr asha mohammed, who was on the panel answering questions today. there's definitely been some misinformation in the past with andrew wakefield and his study misinformation in the past

that has been disproved. misinformation in the past it has had long—lasting effects on the views of autism being caused by the mmrjab, which has been disproven. we are still seeing the effects and lots of people still believe they are true. coming to this event has reassured amira the vaccine is safe. she now plans to spread the word to other worried mums. i'll go back to them and answer the questions that there is no link between autism and a vaccination. and i will try to clear up their misconceptions. currently there aren't any cases of measles in bristol, but with outbreaks in birmingham and london, health care professionals say its only a matter of time before it arrives here. we're joined now by the director of public health in lancashire, dr sakthi karunanithi. are you seeing similar things for you are in terms of a number of people coming into the vaccine?

people are beginning to catch up with the most previous reports. is this people who might not have previously been aware that children needed are proactively chosen not to give it to the children?— give it to the children? largely s-ieakin give it to the children? largely speaking people _ give it to the children? largely speaking people are _ give it to the children? largely speaking people are coming i give it to the children? largely - speaking people are coming forward because they were not particularly aware of how miserable measles can be in general. and now they are beginning to understand that people are coming forward more.— are coming forward more. suppose that shows how _ are coming forward more. suppose that shows how important - are coming forward more. suppose that shows how important is - are coming forward more. suppose that shows how important is to - that shows how important is to emphasise and reiterate that message so i think it is probably worth saying what other the applications are getting the disease, how severe? the child can become seriously unwell and vaccinations are a success story here and globally. it can be entirely prevented, and that is why it is really important to

catch up on the missed doses of vaccines in general but particularly mmr, where we are seeing since 2010 and 2011 the lowest uptake of mmr vaccines in england and we need to get it up to 95% but it has dropped to 84%. get it up to 9596 but it has dropped to 8496. ~ ., , , ., get it up to 9596 but it has dropped to 8496. . ., , , ., to 8496. what is behind that drop? in some arts to 8496. what is behind that drop? in some parts of— to 8496. what is behind that drop? in some parts of the _ to 8496. what is behind that drop? in some parts of the country _ to 8496. what is behind that drop? in some parts of the country it - to 8496. what is behind that drop? in some parts of the country it is - to 8496. what is behind that drop? in some parts of the country it is a - some parts of the country it is a far lower uptake than others, and parts of london and the west midlands? it parts of london and the west midlands?— parts of london and the west midlands? , , , ., midlands? it is driven by we have foriotten midlands? it is driven by we have forgotten how— midlands? it is driven by we have forgotten how miserable - midlands? it is driven by we have forgotten how miserable it - midlands? it is driven by we have forgotten how miserable it can i midlands? it is driven by we have| forgotten how miserable it can be and there is a lot of misinformation that we still need to reach people through various means to clarify their concerns and also make the vaccines more available in community locations. the vaccines more available in community locations. ,., locations. the government advertising _ locations. the government advertising campaign - locations. the government - advertising campaign delivering locations. the government _ advertising campaign delivering some result in getting people back in two clinics for vaccines. as part of

yourjob issues in education? absolutely, encouraging people it is really important to have the full dose of vaccination, all vaccinations but particularly in this occasion mmr but also working with our clinicians and front—line professionals because measles is very rare these days and the younger generation if you have not seen measles before you might not even recognise it so myjob also involves preparing colleagues nhs to be ready to pick up measles when see it. there is a warning from the uk health security agency there is a real risk of outbreaks across the country. what could be the ramifications of that? the most im ortant ramifications of that? the most important mummification - ramifications of that? the most important mummification as i ramifications of that? the most - important mummification as further individual and family concern, it is an utterly miserable illness with a rash conjunctivitis and it's also common to have complications like ear infections and pneumonia and paediatric wards can also become

really full and it can be entirely preventable so if you have messed on vaccination doses please make an appointment with the gp. —— if you have messed —— missed. look out for a very high fever and a rash which starts on the forehead and is bred of the body and conjunctivitis, classical symptoms. of the body and conjunctivitis, classicalsymptoms. if of the body and conjunctivitis, classical symptoms. if you or your child have this, especially in an area with ongoing measles, it is a goodidea area with ongoing measles, it is a good idea to notjust turn up to the gp because you don't want to be in that situation so ring 111 of the gp and follow public advice. you can really treat measles budget the treatment is really symptomatic and looking out for complications like pneumonia and ear infections and

"inside the ring or out, there ain't nothing wrong with

going down, it's staying down that's wrong." a quote from boxer muhammad ali, who had parkinson's disease, now inspires patients in hull, like richards longthorpe. i got diagnosed, i think, seven or eight years ago, but looking back, i probably had it good ten years before that. now he's putting on the gloves and fighting back. i want to do everything i can to delay the progression. getting the coordination of the arms and the punches and the combinations, it really stretches the mind and the body. according to parkinson's uk, one in 37 people will be diagnosed with the disease and, currently, there is no cure. but research suggests boxing helps with balance, mobility and quality of life. i feel i can move more. i'm a lot faster. the hardest part is getting on a bus, getting here. once i get here, it's fantastic. that's it! the footwork and the skill and the bagwork,

you can get rid of the aggression and it helps your footwork. mike bromby started the classes at st paul's boxing academy just over a year ago. we do warm—ups where we do bagwork, we do circuit training. looking good! the sessions we do, really, on the level, do what we do in a boxing gym. you know, that's it. we don't say, you can't do this, you can't do that — ijust say at the top, be at me. i can, i will, i do. and they do. and that training has helped 70—year—old richard take on a huge challenge. 1,000 press—ups every day this month. exactly 1000 in 56 minutes, seven seconds. the word i use to describe it is relentless. 1000 a day, every day for 31 days. i wanted to broaden that knowledge to the benefits that boxing can bring to people with parkinson's

and also raise some funds to help pay for st paul's boxing club to give the provision. to be able to do what he's doing and doing is inspirational, not just for people with parkinson's but for the world over. iam i am absolutely in awe of richard, it's amazing! and for a good cause. here's simon with a look at this morning's weather. it's going to be ok? must wash look at this, beautiful sunrise this morning, we have had loads of pictures of the sunrise this morning and keep an eye out for later it could be a decent sunset. the reason why is this — this is the sahara and you can see this area here, this is all the dust that has been lifted up into the atmosphere. if i show you

what's happening, have all that dust in the eastern atlantic and it's been transported northwards on these winds, so lots of dust in the atmosphere at the moment is causing atmosphere at the moment is causing a vivid sunrises and sunsets. but also bringing some mild air with plenty of sunshine in england and wales, morecambe out in the southwest of england and work out in northern ireland and scotland. some strong winds in the east of northern ireland and across the central belt of scotland. watch of a crosswinds on the likes of the' eight and the a1num in scotland. we have some stronger winds in the outer hebrides, gusts up to 75 mph and in around 11 celsius and in the moray firth, temperatures up to 15, nine above the average for the time of

year. into northern england and wales, quite heavy rain throughout monday but that is also the dividing line between a colder air coming into scotland and milder air down south and we keep that contrast into monday. thisjune marks the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings — the largest sea, air and land invasion in history, which helped to bring the second world war to an end. but a crucial part of the operation actually happened six months earlier, when five men crammed into a mini—submarine and set off to france on a top—secret mission. steve humphrey has the story. they were one of britain's top secret weapons. x—class midget submarines were rushed into production during the second world war. these tiny subs played a massive role in a series of military missions. they are absolutely tiny. these were 51 feet in length.

it's basically a perfect submarine in miniature. the midget submarines needed a very reliable engine and this is what they chose — a london bus engine. 80 years ago, at the start of 1944, a midget submarine carried out a secret mission that was crucial to the success of d—day — the allied landings on the normandy coast of france. can you imagine your dad in there for five days? they are a small, aren't they? robbie's dad was amongst the five men crammed on board for the highly secretive voyage to the coast of german—occupied france. well, i sufferfrom claustrophobia, so i'd be terrified to be in a small sub like this. the people planning d—day were desperate for information about the normandy beaches. one of the important parts of the operation involved the midget submarine sitting just offshore so they could use the periscope to observe the germans and see how they were reinforcing their coastal defenses.

they also needed to know if the beaches would support tanks and to get up close to the defenses, so two men would swim ashore, right under the noses of the germans. robbie's dad, logan scott—boden, and his colleague bruce ogden—smith were both royal engineers and members of a secret unit based on hayling island, called the combined operations pilotage parties. did your dad talk about the dangers, the risks, the pressures? i think they were all very, very modest about what they did. wonderful guys, yeah. they swam ashore on two nights injanuary1944. it's pitch black. they did it on a moonless night for a reason, because it meant they were less likely to be discovered. they were in their early 20s at best. these guys were dealing with life and death decisions every second.

if they'd have been caught, what would have happened to the d—day plan? the mission to omaha was the second in just a few weeks. scott bowden had also swum ashore from a small landing craft on new year's eve to check gold beach. he spoke about that mission in 2009. churchill said, well, they'll all be celebrating on new year's eve, they won't be patrolling very much, it's a good opportunity. after returning here to gosport from the voyage to omaha beach, scott—bowden advised an american general that landing on it would be very, very difficult. he went out of his way to say that to general omar bradley. but omar bradley, he said, i know, son, put his arm around him, said, don't worry, we understand. the story of what happened was told in the film saving private ryan and logan scott—bowden was there on d—day.

he was there when they went in on that very part in saving private ryan, where you see it. my father cannot speak more highly of the 29th division, of the bravery that he saw on that day. he said it was just incredible. the midget submarines were also back in action on d—day. on part of the french coast, they came to the surface to show the invasion fleet where to land. beaches which had been carefully checked by two brave soldiers six months earlier. steve humphrey, bbc news. it's incredible about that top—secret mission. a new study earlier that we told you about suggested that pets love watching tv so we asked you to send pictures of your pets watching us this morning.

this is stevie's dog roman who he says loves watching the rugby. reg in bristol sent in this picture of his dog watching breakfast this morning but he did say he had to bribe him with a biscuit! this dog however is watching the programme this morning in much more relaxed manner. my my words, that's very relaxed! that's the way i hope you're all watching! that's all from us on breakfast this morning, back tomorrow at 6am. bye—bye!

hello. today it is the public that's in charge. you're the boss, after all. is that 0k? what's after that? sorry, can i start again? one room, six tribes of voters. nearly 50 members of the public. nice guy, but weak. not strong enough.

it's like he's reading from a script when he talks. yeah, he does have charisma. yeah. a dim view of the prime minister shared by some of his own colleagues back in westminster, where this week there was even a botched attempt to get him out. no—one likes the guy who's shouting, "iceberg!" - but i suspect that people will be even less happy. if we hit the iceberg. keir starmer was all too happy to pile in too. i love this quaint tradition where the more they slag him off behind his back, the louder they cheer in here. but our members of the public weren't much more impressed with him. a bit boring, to be honest with you. i don't look at him and think he's the one that's going to come - and save us. i don't know what he actually believes. so, we have one big question — can rishi sunak and keir starmer answer the public�*s lack of faith? with us in the studio for the first time to answer that question, the business secretary, kemi badenoch.
