which have suspended funding to the un agency for palestinian refugees to guarantee the continuity of its operations. the post office has been struggling with the fallout from the horizon scandal and a failure to hit commercial targets. queen camilla has visited king charles in hospital in london a day after the british monarch underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate. a series of opinion polls have suggested that the main opposition labour party is set to win the next general election, which is likely to happen later this year. that would mean sir keir starmer becoming the first labour prime minister since gordon brown left office in 2010. with that in mind, we've been testing public opinion, hearing from a group of nearly 50 voters with a range of political views,

all of whom live in constituencies which switched from labour to conservative in 2019. the groups were selected with the help of the political research firm more in common. laura kuenssberg listened to what they had to say. have a seat, have a seat. young, old, tory, labour and those who do not have a clue they will choose. they have all been chosen from seats that went labour to conservative last time around. we've put together a sample to hear everyone�*s thoughts, a bit like britain in a room. how would you sum up britain in 202a? depressing. terrible state we are in. dishonest and messed up. falling apart. i think we're a country in crisis. i think it's the worst it's ever been. what's the first thing that comes to mind when you see this person? nice guy but weak. not strong enough. no personality. you need a personality to rule. it's like he's reading from a script when he talks.

yeah, he doesn't have charisma. i would say out of touch because i don't think i he understands what the ordinary people are going through. - people in this country don't like successful people, they're very bitter that they're not like them i think that's why everybody resents him. i don't think he's out of touch but the problems he has are so vast. i thought he did a marvellous job as a chancellor. - what's the first thing that comes to mind when you see this person? a bit boring, to be honest with and i don't think he's the strongest of leaders. 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. i think everything he says is to win the majority over. i'd rather someone that was either here or there, not somewhere in between. he has been helped by default because of the backlash - against the conservatives, you can onlyjudge him - when he's in power. i do think he has integrity and he will try but i do think he has a big task ahead. again and again, our voters have

shared stories of how the health service just isn't up to scratch. it's obviously at the top of many people's list. with me being a senior carer, i have to ring 111 and the wait times for the ambulances are ridiculous. i have a heart condition and had to contact the hospital because i've waited for 26 weeks and i've still not had an appointment. they told me the waitlist is up to 70 weeks. i i don't know if i want to work asl a nurse in this country right now. the cost of living crisis is having a big impact on us. being able to go out and socialise so much more expensive, going to the the supermarketm your bills are so much more expensive. i'm a student and i can barely afford to eat, some weeks, it's rubbish. this is a first—world country, however there is so much of a difference between the highest paid, the wealthy and the ordinary people. we've heard from nearly 50 voters today.

there's a deep well worry about the state of the country, and a sense that a change of government is probably on the way. but there wasn't much confidence here today, not much faith that a different leader in number 10 could change lives for the better. there is, though, ten months to go. on her programme this morning, laura kuenssberg spoke to the business secretary kemi badenoch about the departure of the post office chairman and other political topics. people clearly want to see a lot more hope and optimism about the country. that we have a plan and that's what we're using it to show people how we're going to make the uk better. we need to do much more of that. i thought it was interesting, the contrast between a kier starmer and rishi sunak, interesting, the contrast between a kier starmerand rishi sunak, it goes to show there's everything to

play for in this election. people act as if us losing power and not being in government as a fait accompli, clearly not, listening to that focus group. and the other thing was how people are fed up with a lot of the toxicity, i would say, in politics at the moment, where it looks like people are interested in their own personal ambitions rather than the people in the country, and i think that is something i would happily try to address today. iretell happily try to address today. we'll come to that _ happily try to address today. we'll come to that but _ happily try to address today. we'll come to that but cooper also concerned about big problems in their own lives. ifather concerned about big problems in their own lives. i father six concerned about big problems in their own lives. ifather six been told he has a week wait for kartik treatment. a student nursing he cannot afford to eat some weeks. many people think the conservatives have failed them in? what many people think the conservatives have failed them in?— have failed them in? what i would sa and i have failed them in? what i would say and i have _ have failed them in? what i would say and i have a _ have failed them in? what i would say and i have a particular - have failed them in? what i would say and i have a particular insight| say and i have a particular insight being international trade secretary, is look at what is happening in other countries. in last few days i have been processed in germany,

with fujitsu as well, there are multiple moving parts and setting a deadline is not the priority, getting the money out and getting fair compensation and shouting out the government is the critical thing. laura kuenssberg speaking to the business secretary kemi badenoch there. king charles has spent a second night in hospital in london, after undergoing a procedure for an enlarged prostate.(00v)he was visited on saturday by queen camilla. charles is staying in the same hospital where the princess of wales is being cared for following her abdominal surgery. 0ur correspondent simonjones is outside the hospital. yes, a big media presence here outside the clinic, lots of television cameras, lots of photographers, and also a big police presence, because we have got the unusual situation of two senior members of the royal family being treated in hospital at the same time. now, as regards the king, we're not getting any sort of running commentary from buckingham palace about his treatment or even when he's likely to leave the hospital. in fact, we may not get any formal statement from buckingham palace now until the king is ready

to be discharged. but we understand he may well spend the rest of the weekend in hospital. as regards catherine, princess of wales, she has been in the hospital for almost two weeks now. she has undergone surgery to her abdomen. now, when she was admitted to hospital almost two weeks ago, we were told her stay was likely to be a couple of weeks. so we may be getting to a position where she is ready to be discharged in the coming days. once again, we're not getting really a running commentary from the palace, but we are told that both royal patients are doing well. i think what's really interesting, particularly in the case of the king, is how it's got really everyone talking about this condition of enlarged prostate. now, perhaps in the past, people were rather embarrassed to talk about the issue, but it is a condition that affects around one in three men over the age of 50. and we're told that the king is very pleased that it has brought this condition out in the open and people are discussing it openly.

and the nhs in england say when it was announced that the king was going to have treatment for an enlarged prostate on their website, the page that covers that issue and gives advice was actually being visited once every five seconds and the interest in that has continued throughout. simon shown there. doctors in england have reported an increase in demand for the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine after a national campaign to boost uptake was launched. it comes amid a surge in measles cases in many countries around the world. according to the world health organization, europe saw 30 times as many measles cases last year compared with 2022. it's thought that disruption from the covid pandemic and misinformation are to blame for the drop in vaccinations. nhs england figures suggest 3.4 million children under the age of 16

are unprotected. 0ur reporter pam caulfield has been looking at the situation in bristol, in the southwest of england. the idea of events like this one is to encourage more people to have the mmr jab. the nhs is particularly keen for parents to vaccinate their children, as a fifth of under—fives in bristol are currently unprotected. there's been a couple of outbreaks over the last few years and some children have been very sick and gone to intensive care. it is concerning seeing those numbers rise again, especially vulnerable communities and people who are 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 mistrust 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 that has been disproved. with andrew wakefield and his study, that has been disproved. 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. in western europe, britain has reported the most measles cases, according to the world health organization. why and what could be done to tackle it? i spoke earlier to dr chris smith, the consultant virologist at cambridge university and the presenter of the bbc�*s naked scientists podcast. it's a symptom of the same underlying problem that sourcing providing in the world, particular

western world. and europe is quite right when it says it's seen a very big increase in cases, as has the uk, about 30,000 to 40,000 cases now confirmed. this is a huge increase on where we were last year and it's translating into a very high fraction, maybe 20,000 or 30,000 hospitalizations, because most of these cases are occurring in young individuals who are more likely to develop severe disease. and really, it boils down to the same risk factors everywhere, which is that if you don't have a high enough level of vaccine uptake, and you need about 95% of the population in any country, in any part of the world, to be immune to measles, you will get measles outbreaks. and the reason for this is measles is incredibly infectious. we're all familiar with the r value from covid days, when we were talking about the r going up or down, that's a measure of how many people each infected case will infect. so, if you have flu, you infect about two or three other people. if you have covid, you infect about two or three other people. if you have measles,

you infect up to 20 other people. it's so infectious and it spreads so well that unless we have really high levels of vaccine uptake and therefore protection in the general population, we can't break the chain of transmission and we will get outbreaks. and this is further compounded by the fact that in many places this is notjust a random spread of people who aren't vaccinated across a geography or a country, they tend to be groups who are not vaccinated or under—vaccinated concentrated into clusters in certain parts of certain cities, in certain countries. and this is why we've got a high risk of outbreaks, because once it gets into one small group of people in that community, it very rapidly can go through the whole community. and how long would it take to get these outbreaks under control? well, the best intervention is information, because what we know is probably the cause of this. and really, it's notjust down to people being concerned about mmr because the rates were higher in 2011 through to 2013 than they are now.

and that was ten years after the mmr scandal. so there's a range of factors that are probably contributing to low uptake of the vaccine. one of them is misinformation, one of them is anti—vaccination information, but the other is probably the combined effects of immigration and migration. people moving from jurisdictions and geographies in the world where there isn't a good vaccine programme or there's undervaccination and they're bringing with them therefore their disease risk and joining communities who are in the same situation in their new geography. and then we've also got the problem that off the back of covid, which disrupted many health services and health systems where we prioritise preventing covid cases, and this disrupted uptake of other strategies elsewhere. when you bring all those things together, the best way to counter this is to try and catch up and to spread correct information and then offer people a solution, which is vaccination with mmr, which you can have at any age, and is very effective at preventing

measles, mumps and rubella. the consultant virologist dr chris smith. protesters have hurled soup at the mona lisa painting in paris. the 16th—century work by leonardo da vinci is protected by bulletproof glass, so is unlikely to have been damaged. the two eco—protesters are reported to have been demanding the right to healthy and sustainable food, saying our agricultural system is at risk. it is the latest attack on the masterpiece in the louvre museum, after an activist threw a cake at the painting in 2022. let's get more on the world's largest cruise ship. the icon of the seas is setting sailfrom miami, in florida, on its maiden voyage. it is 365m long, has 20 decks, and there is enough room for almost 8,000 passengers onboard. features include a 16m waterfall,

six water slides and more than a0 restaurants, bars and venues. earlier, we spoke to dave monk, an award—winning cruise writer who was recently onboard the icon of the seas. it's incredible. as you can imagine, it's more like a floating island than a cruise ship. there are so many... there are eight separate neighbourhoods, as they call them. so there's a park with 30,000 plants and trees. there's a whole family section, a huge water park, a dome with its own waterfall. so it's an incredible engineering achievement. and you mention a ship with neighbourhoods. it seems unimaginable for a lot of people viewing.

i've never been on a cruise ship, so tell me, what it is, the idea around it that people are meant to get on board and just stay there for weeks, perhaps? well, you could, but of course, it's a cruise ship, so it does visit various places within the caribbean, but there is so much to see and do and experience on board lots of restaurants. and there's wizard of oz show, stage show, and just continual activity onboard. so these neighbourhoods, for example, you can walk through this park, it's very serene. there are much busier... the water park is has six amazing slides. there's a drop slide that i went on. you can walk over the edge of the ship on a harness, which i did, 150ft above the waves. so, whatever you want to do, whether you want a peaceful holiday or activity—filled, it's all on one ship. and, dave, our viewers can now actually see you, i think, ziplining

over the edge of the ship. just tell us, what was that like? i'm kind of suspended on this harness. it's like an overhead rope that's keeping me safe as i walk over the side of the ship and then i stand on a platform which gives way, and then you're kind of ziplining back to the to the the safety of the deck. briefly, before we end the programme, there are obviously these concerns around the environment and methane emissions. how much is this a concern for the icon of the seas, but also the industry? oh, it's a huge concern for the industry. there's so much money and effort going in now to try and reduce the environmental impact. lng was thought to be the way forward because it cuts carbon dioxide emissions hugely and reduces particulates. but as we hear, there's a whole new debate about this.

but this is a continuing, evolving technology towards eventually net—zero cruise ships. next as the weather with simon king. hello again. it started off largely fine and dry for many of us this morning. we've had some lovely sunrise pictures sent in from our weather watcher. look at this one here from suffolk this morning, where it was a little bit chilly, but temperatures will rise into the afternoon and it's going to be a very mild day for many of us. look at the temperatures this afternoon, 13 to 15 degrees in the moray firth. compare that to the average for the end ofjanuary, we're about four to nine degrees celsius above where we should be for the time of year. but we'll keep some blue skies and some sunshine across many parts of england and wales, a bit more cloud across the far southwest of england. and you'll notice this rain spreads into northern ireland and scotland and with it there'll be some strong winds, especially to the east of northern ireland and along the central belt of scotland, gusts of 50, 60mph.

so that could cause some travel disruption, there'll be some strong cross winds here. stronger winds in the outer hebrides, gusts up to 70, maybe 75mph this afternoon with that rain spreading its way through. some sunshine, though, to the east of scotland and that's where we'll see the highest temperatures, as i said, 15 degrees here, but widely temperatures about ten to 13 degrees celsius. now, through tonight, the rain will continue to move south and eastwards out of scotland into northern england, parts of wales. behind this area of rain, though, we've got some colder air moving in, so temperatures close to freezing into tomorrow morning. a bit further south and east ahead of the area, rain, well, it's still going to be very mild overnight, temperatures no lower than about six to nine celsius. and you can see that divide to the cold, to the milder air to the south — in between, this weatherfront, which is going to bring us some outbreaks of rain throughout monday. and with that colder air digging in, there could be just a little bit of snow over the hills of the southern uplands and the north pennines. but a pretty wet day for northern england through much of wales. sunshine, though, for scotland and northern ireland. a chillier day here, temperatures about seven

or eight degrees celsius. but to the southeast with some sunshine, it's going to feel really quite pleasant with that sunshine, highs up to 1a, maybe even 15 degrees celsius. 0n into tuesday, that weather front will slowly fizzle away, there'll be some cloud in central and eastern areas for a time, but plenty of sunshine developing with this ridge of high pressure building in, and for many of us, temperatures down a little bit on monday's values, about seven to 12 degrees celsius. that's it from me. bye— bye. live from london — this is bbc news... the head of the un begs countries to continue supporting its palestinian aid agency after claims some staff were involved in the hamas attacks on israel. britain's business secretary explains why she removed the head of the post office — following the it scandal that left hundreds wrongly convicted of fraud.

looking at the governance around the post office, and that is where my deciding we needed a new chair of the organisation which was important. itjust wasn't the organisation which was important. it just wasn't working. as far—right extreminsts gain ground in germany — the country's chancellor calls on people to fight racism and anti—semitism. and the world's biggest cruise ship, the icon of the seas, begins its maiden voyage. hello. the united nations chief has vowed to hold to account any un employee involved in acts of terror, after israel presented evidence that some staff at the un agency working in the palestinian territories were involved in the october 7th hamas attacks on israel. but antonio guterres also
