you don't learn sitting at home in your pyjamas in front of a mac. good morning. when will interest rates come down? forecasters think a cut is due this year. i'll be looking ahead to the first bank of england decision of 2024 later, and finding out what the impact of higher rates has been on mortgage holders. a new star shines at liverpool — conor bradley steals the show, as they overwhelm chelsea, as they continue to set the pace in the premier league title race. and maybe a little bit fresher out there this morning, but for many a much drier and brighter today. good morning. it's thursday, the 1st of february. a woman and her two young children have been taken to hospital after a corrosive substance was thrown over them in south london. it happened on lessar avenue, near clapham common,

just before 7:30 last night. several people who came their aid were also injured, including three police officers. the suspect remains at large. our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan is at the scene. take us through what we know of the incident itself?— incident itself? police and witnesses _ incident itself? police and witnesses have _ incident itself? police and witnesses have described | incident itself? police and - witnesses have described what happened here is horrific. the details are incredibly distressing. as you say, it happened on a straight very closely clapham common. it isjust a straight very closely clapham common. it is just a stone's throw away from the common. it is this three lined street. greg my tree—lined street. but investigations have been focused on a car. we saw people in protected clothing go back and forth. it was around 7:30pm last night that witnesses say they saw a woman

driving that car with her two young children inside. they saw a man doused the car and the passengers with some kind of corrosive substance. witnesses also say they saw the suspect arguing with that woman before the attack took place. some passers—by did intervene to try to help the woman. we spoke to two of them earlier. they didn't want to appear on camera but we can hear what they have to say. the mum was saying, i can't see, i can't _ the mum was saying, i can't see, i can't see~ — the mum was saying, i can't see, i can't see~ she _ the mum was saying, i can't see, i can't see. she had acid on her face. i went_ can't see. she had acid on her face. i went and — can't see. she had acid on her face. i went and got some water. i got can't see. she had acid on her face. i went and got some water.- i went and got some water. i got a bottle of water _ i went and got some water. i got a bottle of water and _ i went and got some water. i got a bottle of water and started - i went and got some water. i got a bottle of water and started spring | bottle of water and started spring with the _ bottle of water and started spring with the water, _ bottle of water and started spring with the water, basically. - bottle of water and started spring with the water, basically. then i bottle of water and started spring . with the water, basically. then some body i _ with the water, basically. then some body i was _ with the water, basically. then some body i was putting _ with the water, basically. then some body i was putting water— with the water, basically. then some body i was putting water on - with the water, basically. then some body i was putting water on her- body i was putting water on her whole _ body i was putting water on her whole face _ body i was putting water on her whole face. firstly, _ body i was putting water on her whole face. firstly, just - body i was putting water on her whole face. firstly, just trying i body i was putting water on her. whole face. firstly, just trying to drench _ whole face. firstly, just trying to drench her— whole face. firstly, just trying to drench her with— whole face. firstly, just trying to drench her with the _ whole face. firstly, just trying to drench her with the water. - whole face. firstly, just trying to drench her with the water. her. whole face. firstly, just trying to . drench her with the water. her lips were _ drench her with the water. her lips were completely— drench her with the water. her lips were completely black. _ drench her with the water. her lips were completely black. her- drench her with the water. her lips were completely black. her face i were completely black. her face looked — were completely black. her face looked really _ were completely black. her face

around keeping the dogs, face a criminal record and an unlimited fine. frances read reports. it was horrifying attacks that made the government say it had no choice but to take action. an increasing number with xl bullies disproportionately involved, including a number of deaths. from today, anyone in possession of an xl bully faces prosecution, unless its registered and insured, microchipped, neutered, and muzzled and on a lead in public. the government's published guidance to recognise and xl bully type dog, describing a large broad head, a heavily muscled body, and great strength and power for its size. the government says there's been a high level of compliance from dog owners, with more than 35,000 xl bullies now registered in england and wales. i say to those people who are responsible dog owners, we don't have any problem with you guys. we want to make sure you can

retain your much loved family pet. but for those people that are not playing by the rules, if you like, and have a dangerous dog, we will control that dog and we'll make sure that you're not a danger to the public. and i think the government struck that balance just about right, between looking after family pets, but keeping the public safe. catch. good boy! in scotland, there'll be restrictions later this month, and a deadline of the end ofjuly to get the necessary paperwork. the changes are aimed at stopping repeats of cases like jack liss. in 2021, the ten—year—old was killed by an xl bully when he went to play at his friends home in caerphilly. the owners were jailed for several years each. i first wanted to ban every single xl bully, american bully, whatever, every variant of it. and then, i thought — i was listening to organisations and they were saying, it's not the breed, it's the owners. and i agreed. but over the last year,

and how many attacks there've been, and how many the xl bully has been responsible for, and variants of it, i couldn't sit there and think, oh, yeah, ok, it's not the breed. but despite it now being illegal to abandon xl bullies, shelters say they're concerned they could now be inundated without any possibility of having them rehomed. a dog that rapidly became one of the uk's most popular, now just as quickly unwanted. francis read, bbc news. a man will appear in court today charged with the murder of two teenage boys in bristol. 44—year—old anthony snook is accused over the fatal stabbings of mason rist and max dixon on saturday night. max's mum has thanked the community after a vigil was held in memory of both boys, as fiona lamdin reports. remembering max and mason. hundreds of balloons released into the sky above south bristol, not far

from where the two young friends were killed on saturday night. and after a two minute's silence, spontaneous applause. max's mum addressed the crowd. max and mason's face is never, ever, ever going to be forgot in this world. this world is never, ever going to be the same without them. please check kids' bags, kids' phones, kids — if they've got things on them, just check them, you're the parents. you've got every right to search your children. please try and keep them safe. i tried to keep my boy safe. you tried so hard. we tried so much for him, everyone, all the girls try to do everything for him, and i could not keep my boys safe, i could not. i tried, but unfortunately, today i've lost my boy. and i'm never going to see that kid ever again. and i don't want anybody else to go through what i'm going through and what mason's mum is going through. max had three older sisters.

one of them told me she'd written him a poem. remember us, in your hearts, your thoughts and memories of the times we've loved, cried, fought and laughed. if you always think of us, we will never be gone. always remember my little brother, max and mason. they're so innocent, they're so innocent. thank you so much. i would do anything, anything to see that smile again. just, anything. he was amazing. he was a credit to everyone. we got a very small family, but a very, very, very close bond. we all love each other, we all support each other, we all care for each other. and we just do not want this to happen to any other family and go through what we are going through right now. a community calling for answers. the crown prosecution service has authorised us to charge one of those arrested with two counts of murder.

further developments are expected in the days ahead, as people who live here anxiously wait for every update that comes. fiona lambdin, bbc news. houthis in yemen have launched further attacks on shipping in the red sea. the group targeted a us naval ship, and claim to have also hit a cargo vessel. yesterday us planes conducted strikes in yemen against ten attack drones and a ground control station belonging to the iranian—backed houthi group. thejustice minister, mike freer, has said he will stand down as a conservative mp at the next election, after an arson attack on his constituency office in north london, and what he described as several serious threats to his personal safety. mr freer said the incidents had weighed heavily on him and his husband. the hollywood actor alec baldwin has pleaded not guilty to the involuntary manslaughter of a cinematographer who was fatally shot on a film set in 2021.

halyna hutchins, who was 42, died when baldwin was pointing a gun at her during a rehearsal, when the weapon discharged. a new deal which would lead to the recall of the northern ireland assembly will be debated in westminster today. it could bring power sharing back to stormont after a two—year pause, caused by a dup boycott over post—brexit trade rules. 0ur news correspondent tomos morgan is in belfast. last night, the northern ireland secretary was here in belfast to stage a press conference with sirjeffrey donaldson, the leader of the dup. and in it, he said, the northern ireland secretary, that a £3 billion fund will be released to the northern ireland devolved government as soon as that government was functioning, back functioning again. but that won't be until the end of the week. so today all eyes will be in westminster as the legislation for this new deal that they've been brokering, and it came to fruition early on tuesday morning,

goes through. after that, as i mentioned, a new speaker will be elected here, probably on friday, and then a new first minister will be in place. and that new first minister will be sinn fein�*s, michelle 0'neill. and it cannot be understated how significant it will be to have a nationalist first minister here in northern ireland. scotland's former first minister nicola sturgeon has appeared at the uk covid inquiry in edinburgh to answer questions about how her government handled the pandemic. she was emotional as she admitted that at times she'd felt overwhelmed — but dismissed claims that some of her decisions were politically motivated to try to advance the cause of independence. shiona mccallum's report contains flashing images. excess deaths! it was a tense, tough and sometimes emotional day for the former first minister, nicola sturgeon, who at times was visibly upset. i was the first minister when the pandemic struck. there's a large part of me

wishes i hadn't been... ..but i was. and i wanted to be the best first minister i could be during that period. it's for others to judge the extent to which i succeeded. she denied that there was an approach of secrecy during the pandemic, and says her desire for scottish independence did not play a part in her actions during the health crisis. but she clearly felt the weight of the country was on her shoulders as she offered this apology to those who had lost loved ones. i wish, with every fibre of my being, that the decisions of my government had been able to take, could have reduced the number of people in scotland who did lose someone to covid. and i am deeply sorry to each and every bereaved person, and each and every person who suffered. during the pandemic miss sturgeon made some different decisions at different times to that of her counterparts in the other nations. despite that, over

18,000 people died here, including andrew lawrence. he was a senior adviser to miss sturgeon during the pandemic, and passed away after contracting covid while undergoing cancer treatment in december 2020. his wife, louise, still has questions. i think so much evidence has been lost that we can't get the answers that we all deserve and need in order to grieve properly. and why is that important? because it tells you so much about the culture in the organisation at the time. the covid inquiry is examining the responses of scottish government officials to the pandemic, and whether lessons can be learned. scottish minister alisterjack will give evidence to the inquiry this morning, before closing statements, and that marks the end of the inquiry�*s tenure here in scotland. it'll then move to cardiff, where welsh ministers will have their say, then on to belfast in april. a monkey on the loose

in the scottish highlands has been spotted, using thermal imaging drones which are normally deployed to find lost hikers. the monkey — ajapanese macaque — escaped from a wildlife park at the weekend. it's hoped the seven—year—old male is making his way back to the highland wildlife park. look at that. needless to say, if ou are look at that. needless to say, if you are in _ look at that. needless to say, if you are in the — look at that. needless to say, if you are in the scottish _ look at that. needless to say, if. you are in the scottish highlands, in the area, and if you see something this morning, let us know, because the search is still on. it looked pretty well camouflaged in there. i looked pretty well camouflaged in there. ~ , ., , , looked pretty well camouflaged in there. ~ , , ., there. i think you were despite a monke . there. i think you were despite a monkey- i _ there. i think you were despite a monkey. i don't _ there. i think you were despite a monkey. i don't think _ there. i think you were despite a monkey. i don't think you - there. i think you were despite a monkey. i don't think you would | monkey. i don't think you would confuse it with something else, would you? he confuse it with something else, would you?— would you? he looked well camouflaged. _ would you? he looked well camouflaged. hopefully . would you? he looked well - camouflaged. hopefully waking -- camouflaged. hopefully waking —— making his way back on. matt camouflaged. hopefully waking -- making his way back on.— camouflaged. hopefully waking -- making his way back on. matt has the weather. something brighter this morning. i

to get one from spud man. but business is booming after he started posting videos online. ben sidwell went to meet him. saturday was insane. meet spud man. he's been selling his jacket potatoes in tamworth for the past 21 years. one cheese and beans, one chilli and cheese. this but everything changed when he started posting videos on tik tok. there we go, buddy. that one's on me. don't worry about it. those videos have been watched by hundreds of millions of people across the globe... tell us where you're from in the world. ..making spud man possibly the most famous jacket potato seller in the world. a few hundred thousand followers, iwas, you know, cruising along quite nicely and very happy about it. and i don't know what the catalyst was for it to just shoot up as bonkers as it did. but all of a sudden the world has gone mad forjacket spuds.

as spud man's fame grows, so do the queues, stretching across the square in tamworth from the moment the shutters open. but it's notjust the locals. people are coming from across the uk, and around the world, just to try one of spud man's jacket potatoes. so, you're not on holiday, then, you've just come to get a jacket potato? yeah. we came here for a week. yeah. then drove here. and straight here for a jacket spud? yeah. and it seemed everyone in the queue had made a specialjourney to meet the man himself and try one of his spuds. i'm from leicester. northamptonshire. just from liverpool. i'm from down in eastbourne. it's a lovely place. so spud man first, and then have a look round. i've just got to see for myself, is it actually real? _ and it is. and that's a bit scary! it's not the first time you've come here, is it? no, no, about three or four times now. so... he's a local star in this part of town, so, i thought we'd come and support him. you only live once. make the most! i and we do love a spud, we do love a spud. - yeah.

i'm half irish, of course i love spuds! curry is getting low — already. one of ben's main reasons for starting the videos was to help give the town a boost and bring more people to tamworth. we can't rely on passing trade in the town any more. we can't rely on word of mouth, because it's just not here any more. so we needed to do something different. so what do locals make of their new celebrity? rt-s cool. — it's the coolest thing ever. there's people queuing up forjacket potatoes, and he's always got smile and he always makes people laugh. it's actually been quite bizarre that we've had many people . to the town. i mean, it's fantastic for the town because we are dying, _ to be perfectly honest. and of course when you're here, you have to try one. hiya, mate. i'm going to have the classic — beans and cheese, please. i'm so sorry, we've all sold out! you can come back tomorrow. ben sidwell, bbc news. thatis that is devastating for a ban. he has had his heart set on it and it

people were seen sleeping on the capital's streets between october and december last year — a 23% increase on the same period in 2022. the met�*s promised to improve the way it tackles burglaries— after setting up a dedicated team pursuing suspects who are wanted by the courts. across london, burglary rose by 6% last year— and charge rates have fallen. in bromley, a project called operation peloton is targeting suspects with outstanding warrants— and aiming to improve response times. the information and the intelligence that we can gather from a police officer, to get into that scene within the first hour, can help us by way of dna, fingerprints, any cctv inquiries, statements from the victim, property outstanding, so we can log and record all of that. and the met police commissioner sir mark rowley will be on radio london this morning— if you'd like to ask him a question— about burglary or anything else on policing. he's on from 11, talking to eddie nestor. you can get in touch

on eddie@bbc.co.uk let's take a look at the tubes now. there's severe delays on the central line at the moment but all other lines are running well. now onto the weather with gemma plumb. good morning. there's going to be plenty of sunshine around as we go through the day today. it is going to be turning much milder as well as we go through the next few days. so, today, it will be dry. and as i say, there's going to be lots of sunshine around for most of us as well. so this morning, it's starting off on a dry note. that dry weather will continue as we go through the day today. plenty of sunshine around. i think there will be some high cloud moving in, particularly as we go through into the afternoon. so that will turn that sunshine hazy. but it's lighter winds today than we saw yesterday. we're looking at highs of around 8 to 10 degrees as we go through this evening and overnight, it will be dry and clear for a time.

that is going to allow it to turn quite chilly, i think, for a time. but by the end of the night, we are bringing in some more cloud. so it is going to be a cloudy start to the day as we go through into friday. temperatures overnight around five or six degrees for most of us. 50 friday is going to be a cloudy day. should be dry for most of us, though, it is going to be feeling milder. temperatures up to around iii degrees and that mild weather will continue as we go through into the weekend. it's going to be dry for most of us, but it will be quite cloudy. that's it. head to our website to find out the challenges and opportunities of turning a dryjanuary into a dry year. we're back in half an hour. bye.. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. giving effective cpr is one of the most important skills in the first aid handbook — it's literally the difference between life and death when someone�*s heart stops beating. new research from the british heart foundation, however, shows that nearly half of british people have never

learnt how to do it. the football community is doing its bit to address that, and john�*s been to meet two fans who have more reason than most to spread the message. harry and his family are huge brighton fans, but seven years ago harry suffered a cardiac arrest at school. it was his teacher, christine, who saved his life. harry was playing football at the after school club and i got called out to the field and he was just lying there. i knew he wasn't breathing because i'd checked for the breathing and also his lips were going blue. she continued doing cpr for 15 minutes without stopping. i mean, she's the most amazing lady. and yeah, i'm really, really grateful for what she did for harry. all i could remember was waking up in hospital and not really— knowing what had happened

and what had gone on. - right, we'll kick off then, guys. listen, thank you so much for making the time. now a cpr session is being laid on. it's easy to learn, using just your phone and a cushion. i mean, it is quite exhausting, butjust try and keep with it. bit of exercise for you now. to the beat. four, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. one, two, three, four. learning this skill, you could actually be saving a loved one. so, yes, it's very important. you just get into the rhythm really quickly with it. yeah. a cardiac arrest can happen to anyone. as the collapse of luton town captain tom lockyer back in december showed.

during his recovery, he thanked those who helped him and encouraged more to learn cpr. earlier this week he returned to his club and was given a standing ovation in their game against brighton. tom lockyer was in many ways very lucky that it happened on a football pitch with people who knew how to do cpr and there's a defibrillator there ready to save his life. but we see thousands and thousands of people who die unnecessarily each year in the country from cardiac arrests. and there are things we can do, and it's the public can do it just as well as i can. and you don't need to have great training or anything like that. cpr is relatively really easy. we're here with harry. harry, do you want to come up and join me? not everybody will be as lucky as harry who's received this special message. poor and i want to say thank you to everyone from the club for what you are doing and teaching everyone to do cpr and we know it's really important to you and keep up the

good work. take care and i hope to see you at the next albion game. how was that? �* ,., that cpr was what got us our son here today and allows me and him and my dad, you know, to go and watch brighton every other week. and it's just amazing. and whilst many are learning figures released show there's still a long way to go. new research commissioned by the british heart foundation shows that nearly half of uk adults still don't know cpr. so that's about 23 million people that still need to learn the lifesaving skills of cpr. there are over 30,000 out—of—hospital cardiac arrests every year in the uk. performing quick cpr can make all the difference between life and death, something which gp nick thomas knows all too well.

after collapsing whilst playing football with friends after work. every thursday night we play have done for many years went as normal. no problem. started playing, all good. i think i scored three goals that night supposedly, but i don't think they counted in the end. but there we go. and then that was sort of towards the end of the game. i then collapsed and i have no memory after that. actually, no memory probably for a few minutes beforehand, actually. incredibly, just two months after collapsing, nick was back playing football thanks to the quick thinking of his team mates. when we turned around after seeing nick miss yet another shot and he was down on the down on the ground. i thought he was in some sort of pain or agony. but you could see after a few moments, he wasn't responding in any sort of way, not in his normal sort of fit of despair when he normally misses. they were lifesavers. went over, couldn't get anything from him.

and at that point, it was clear that we'd have to start doing something to save him. i can't thank this guy enough. amazing what they did. it's like, wow. so i've got so much to be thankful for. it shows the importance of cpr. two football fans whose lives were saved by those who knew cpr. i feel part of the family now. yeah. and do you think you'll always you'll always be in touch? you'll always still see each other, do you think? yeah, definitely. i mean, i'll be at his wedding. laughter. john watson, bbc news. what an experience, they are the friends _ what an experience, they are the friends you — what an experience, they are the friends you need in a crisis. at around quarter past eight we'll be speaking to nick — who you saw in that report, and his teammate henry who saved his life. we'll also be getting a cpr demonstration. a lot of sports environments take it so seriously. a lot of sports environments take it so seriously-— so seriously. absolutely. it should be like going _ so seriously. absolutely. it should be like going for— so seriously. absolutely. it should be like going for a _ so seriously. absolutely. it should be like going for a driving - so seriously. absolutely. it should be like going for a driving lesson, | be like going for a driving lesson, learning — be like going fora driving lesson, learning i— be like going for a driving lesson, learning. i will be learning later and giving it a go.— learning. i will be learning later and giving it a go. ashamed to say i have never—

top of the table, chasing the title, this is a huge week for liverpool and this was a huge moment for bradley. a first liverpool goal for the tyro from tyrone. they might have been three up by half time, but for one of the four occasions darwin nunez hit the goal frame in this match. not his day, but certainly bradley's. his cross, dominik szoboszlai's header, game effectively over. chelsea did get one back through the finally—fit christopher nkunku and though they might have had a penalty, a 4—1 scoreline left little room for discussion, only admiration for a new star. he really understands the way we want to play. for that you have to be brave. he is that. and so i'm really happy for him. he's a very, very serious young man. he is really young, but that was pretty special. outside manchester city's stadium, there is a statue of burnley�*s manager. vincent kompany was a legend here, but now his team were opponents, there to be bypassed.

julian alvarez scored two on his birthday. in this mood, city can make statues of anyone. they won 3—1 and are up to second. at tottenham, they started the night like a coldplay concert, then opened with a slow one. brentford were the more eager in the first half. ivan toney couldn't score, but neal maupay could. his celebration an imitation of tottenham's james maddison. but brentford fell foul of three quick darts after the break. after destiny udogie equalised, brennanjohnson put spurs ahead, and then maddison, back from injury, created the chaos from which richarlison profited. toney later made it 3—2, but spurs held on for a pointed victory. patrick geary, bbc news. manchester united manager erik ten hag, says the case is closed now on marcus rashford's, recent misdemeanours.

but the boss believes players must show discipline on and off the pitch. england forward rashford didn't play in their fa cup game on sunday after reporting ill, for training on the friday — and that was after he was reportedly spotted, in night spots, in belfast on the previous two nights. he's back in the squad for tonight's premier league game at wolves — and although ten hag refused to answer any direct questions about rashford in his pre—match press conference, he did say this first of all, the place on this level has to manage themselves, and that is what you can demand from the player. and a player has to know what is good and what is no good. and when you want to play top football, it demands a certain way of life, always. a day before the six nations starts and the former england fly—half, danny cipriani, has officially retired

from professional rugby, at the age of 36. he hasn't played since 2022, when he left bath, and he was already semi—retired, and indeed took part in the recent strictly special at christmas, but he said, he'd left the door open in his mind, until he realised he didn't want to play again, which was a "sobering but also freeing moment". england cricket captain, ben stokes, has revealed he first spotted the potential of young spin bowler shoaib bashir, on a social media video, which he sent on, to his head coach, and managing director. what stokes saw was this — bashir on his debut for somerset, bowling to former england captain alistair cook — and he was so impressed with his bowling action that he made sure the video was watched by the management, and it led to the 20—year—old, being called up to the international squad. and now with jack leach injured, there's every chance bashir could make his debut in the second test against india, which starts in vizag tomorrow. the premier league darts series begins tonight in cardiff, with luke littler, who's now 17, and world champion, luke humphries, headlining the 17—week event. there are eight players in all, and the tournament will visit cities across the uk,

as well as berlin, and rotterdam, culminating with the final in london in may. it comes on the back of the thrilling world championships and the run of littler, who lost to humphries in the final — and they'll play each other first. the premier league of dance, we don't _ the premier league of dance, we don't often — the premier league of dance, we don't often talk about it with two such _ don't often talk about it with two such starts bringing the game beyond the sport. _ such starts bringing the game beyond the sport, it's big news. a such starts bringing the game beyond the sport, it's big news.— the sport, it's big news. a good combination. _ here's matt with the weather. quite a wild day in northern scotland but a case of we were very lucky and it could have been worse. good morning. this massive swell of cloud and in lerwick in shetland we saw winds close to 70 or 80 mph but if you look further north, the faroe islands, hundred and 2a through the afternoon and as the swell of cloud

went into norway close to 140 miles an hour and that area of low pressure, you can imagine if it had been closer to our shores and it's a quieter zone and this morning it's a bit chilly out there and a touch of frost but a brighter day ahead and the best of the sunshine before it turns hazy into the afternoon. we have a few showers around across parts of north and west scotland, isolated in the north and west but most places dry and overnight cloud and rain with long sunny spells for england and wales and the cloud is thickening up across the north and west and some patchy rain in northern ireland and some longer spells of rain in the highlands and islands of scotland where the winds will stretch out again. 50 mile gas and spells of rain during the nine and spells of rain during the nine and clearer skies and temperatures could drop to three or 4 degrees but

they will lift and patchy rain or drizzle in the western by tomorrow morning we are looking at temperatures like we had this afternoon of around seven to 11 degrees. this is a chart for friday with a run of westerly winds in between two fronts and between them we have a bank of milder air, so tomorrow is a warmer day but a windy day across the board in the strongest winds are in the north—west of scotland. a few breaks in north—east scotland potentially but the cloud will be thick enough outbreaks of rain and drizzle in scotland and northern ireland and temperatures tomorrow between 13 and 14 degrees and we might get 16 celsius in aberdeenshire before the weather front works south and as we go through friday and into the weekend it will do so. for the start of the weekend for england and wales, plenty of cloud—like friday and outbreaks of rain or drizzle in the west and scotland and northern

ireland are brighter with passing showers and some on the heavy side with hail and thunder in the far north and it will be fresher compared to the south where we see milder air and compared to the south where we see milderairand highs of 14 compared to the south where we see milder air and highs of 14 or 15. the weatherfront pushes milder air and highs of 14 or 15. the weather front pushes north into sunday so it takes the milder back north again but it means scotland and northern ireland after a bright day on saturday, more persistent rain on sunday and a brighter day in the south and east where temperatures could hit 14 or 15 degrees. the new series of the apprentice starts on bbc one tonight, as another set of ambitious entrepreneurs battle to become lord sugar�*s chosen one. there'll be the usual challenges and boardroom ordeals but lord sugar has already set a couple of non—negotiable rules — no influencers, and nobody who wants to work from home. charlotte gallagher has the story. i'm just trying to find out what you did, really. he's been interrogating... lost control then?

firing... you're fired. and eventually hiring on our televisions. tim, you're hired. for almost 20 years now, lord sugar is back for an 18th series of the apprentice. nine men and nine women are battling it out to win a quarter of a million. and business guidance from lord sugar. their first task, event—organising in the scottish highlands with some reluctant abseiling. how are you feeling, buddy? that's how i'm feeling. how long? tell me. you are falling out of your bedroom window, worst case. and another candidate taking the plunge. television is new. the whole process is new to me.

ifi if i can do it, you can do it. people pointing cameras at them and all that stuff. and i guess a lot of them want to kind of put themselves forward and be seen to be doing more and be seen to doing less. and that creates a situation of where they kind of contradict each other, step on each other and go against what they generally agree, who is doing the massaging? and despite that bravado and initial confidence, there's always high drama and bickering in the boardroom showdown. how does lord sugar deal with candidates getting upset if they crumble or they get upset in front of me, then. i'll just, we'll take a pause and just sit back and say, look, chill out. it's not the end of the world. calm down or whatever, and move on from there when they've composed themselves.

when the apprentice first started in 2005, social media was in its infancy. of course, that's all changed. and lord sugar says he does worry about influencers trying to get on the show. the production company that has been making this thing for 18 years and my staff who go along to the auditions can smell them a mile off, and that's where they're eliminated in the first round, really. so, no influencers on the apprentice. and lord sugar also has strong feelings about another modern trend — working from home. i understand why it happened during covid, but i'm totally against it. quite frankly, i think it is bad for morale. bad for learning. i know i learnt from being with other people in an office, but you don't learn sitting at home

in your pyjamas in front of a mac. a definite "you're fired" to any candidate who suggests working from home to lord sugar. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. you're fired. the apprentice is on bbc one at 9pm tonight — and it'll be on the iplayer too. we'd like to hearfrom we'd like to hear from you we'd like to hearfrom you if we'd like to hear from you if you are working from home later today or you are forced to go back in the office, letters know your thoughts. a lot more people are more productive in front of their py'amas productive in front of their pyjamas and the might of been people shouting at the television saying they do a greatjob working from home. if you do send it on whatsapp, can you include your name. sir keir starmer will say that labour is the party of business today when he addresses a meeting of corporate leaders in london — pledging to do the "hard yards" to fix the economy and break what he'll call the permanent cycle of crisis. let's get more detail on that claim. jonathan reynolds is the shadow business secretary, and he joins us from westminster.

thank you for your time this morning. how do you prove you are the party of business? it’s morning. how do you prove you are the party of business?— the party of business? it's about who business _ the party of business? it's about who business leaders _ the party of business? it's about who business leaders look- the party of business? it's about who business leaders look to - the party of business? it's about| who business leaders look to and the party of business? it's about - who business leaders look to and the workers and business leaders look to together to fix the problems of the british economy and if you look at the guests we have coming today to the guests we have coming today to the biggest ever business conference labour has put on and the agenda and announcements and some of the things we will publish today, i feel confident in the things we need to change to make the british economy work and grow faster which is about money in peoples pockets and whether that's an industrial strategy or reform of the apprenticeship levy or making the brexit deal work better for the country and fixing the lack of public investment we need to get the transition to net zero right, this is the big challenge the next parliament whoever wins the election next year we'll feel confident about the coalition we are building. just because people are coming along to the event doesn't mean to say they

agree or even have confidence in you. those are two very different things and they mightjust be coming in to have a look. riff things and they might 'ust be coming in to have a look.— in to have a look. of course, it miaht in to have a look. of course, it might be _ in to have a look. of course, it might be their _ in to have a look. of course, it might be their first _ in to have a look. of course, it might be their first event - in to have a look. of course, it might be their first event or i in to have a look. of course, it. might be their first event or one in to have a look. of course, it - might be their first event or one of many but the crucial thing is when they listen to our plans and see them for the future of the country, it chimes with what businesses need. there is an overwhelming desire from the business community in the uk for more than anything else a bit of stability. the last few years the british political system has not been an easy one for businesses to operate around, a lot of elections and changes in prime minister and referendums and labour can put that pitch to them today and when it comes to those specific policy areas whether it's the sector plans for life sciences or the automotive sector or financial services what they need to see is coming from the labour party and you are right to say people coming along doesn't mean anything in itself but this conference to show how much labour has changed since 2019 and i think that in itself is very important to be competitive in the next general

election. , ., , , ., election. some interesting words you use, election. some interesting words you use. consistency _ election. some interesting words you use, consistency and _ election. some interesting words you use, consistency and stability, - election. some interesting words you use, consistency and stability, so - use, consistency and stability, so sticking to what you say you will do would be another way of interpreting that and then we look at labour and bankers bonuses where it appears you have completely changed your opinions. is that fair? i have completely changed your opinions. is that fair?- opinions. is that fair? i don't think it is. — opinions. is that fair? i don't think it is. i _ opinions. is that fair? i don't think it is. i was— opinions. is that fair? i don't think it is. i was on - opinions. is that fair? i don't think it is. i was on question | opinions. is that fair? i don't - think it is. i was on question time the week that the bankers bonus cap was removed and i said it was a strange decision in terms of the timing because it had in crisis but in terms of the policy, this was part of the response to the financial crisis and in terms of the security of the financial system, the changes made around the capital and the safeguarding that we remember or ignore the rock, that bank turned out to be more pay was structured about a pledge for us to

bring in think there are more important reforms and priorities for the financial system. let’s meet at pledge? the pledges for ublic meet at pledge? the pledges for public investment. _ meet at pledge? the pledges for public investment. the _ meet at pledge? the pledges for public investment. the overall. public investment. the overall spending is determined by the fiscal rules and it takes into account what the government spending, it's not a sum of money you put on top of what is taking place. the ambition is therefore the level to be sufficient to make the transition work for the uk and i cannot pledge we will hit that level because the health of the economy is one of the driving factors around it. can economy is one of the driving factors around it.— economy is one of the driving factors around it. can i be clear, a ledie is factors around it. can i be clear, a pledge is a _ factors around it. can i be clear, a

that total spending has to be determined by how strong the economy is and how it can be done and that's what at the heart of what we say fiscal discipline and fiscal rules. i'm not sure if you heard the interview with lord sugar a moment ago. he was saying that working from home is bad for morale and learning. people sitting at home in their pyjamas doing their work is not going to if i am the boss. do you approve of working from home? i think it has a role to play. i think there are people who are absolutist on either side, and i heard that clip of lord sugar saying people need to learn in the workplace and i was a trainee solicitor and you needed to be in the workplace to learn from more experienced people but there's a lot ofjobs where you are processing things and perhaps doing of the less exciting stuff and you can have some flexibility, i think, to do that in a way where it makes the rest of your life easier and the reality of the labour market is people want a little bit of

flexibility and they want to be at home all the time and most good employers recognise it is a balance to strike and to be honest they do it and i doubt it we need rules about it and businesses can determine what works for them. so if ou were determine what works for them. so if you were in — determine what works for them. so if you were in power. — determine what works for them. so if you were in power, you would not be encouraging more people to spend more time in the office? ida. encouraging more people to spend more time in the office?— encouraging more people to spend more time in the office? no, i think we can leave _ more time in the office? no, i think we can leave it _ more time in the office? no, i think we can leave it to _ more time in the office? no, i think we can leave it to businesses i more time in the office? no, i think we can leave it to businesses and i we can leave it to businesses and individual arrangements that suit each business and the workplace around that. i don't think everybody wants to work from home in the main all the time but i think a bit of balance and flexibility, that's all people are asking and i think that's a reasonable step and it has opened up a reasonable step and it has opened up some interesting opportunities in the british economy in terms of where the shops and facilities are, around where people work and more of around where people work and more of a balance between city centres and towns and i think some of that is a good thing. towns and i think some of that is a good thing-— towns and i think some of that is a good thing. jonathan reynolds, we a- reciate good thing. jonathan reynolds, we appreciate your _ good thing. jonathan reynolds, we appreciate your time _ good thing. jonathan reynolds, we appreciate your time this _ good thing. jonathan reynolds, we appreciate your time this morning. | appreciate your time this morning. but shadow business and trade secretary. but shadow business and trade secreta . . but shadow business and trade secreta . , ,., ., secretary. interesting he said leave it to the individual _ secretary. interesting he said leave it to the individual business - secretary. interesting he said leave it to the individual business but i it to the individual business but the tension comes when an employer

and her children. new data shows that a record number of people are rough sleeping in london. the figures, published by the greater london authority, showed that more than 4,000 people were seen sleeping on the capital's streets between october and december last year — a 23% increase on the same period in 2022. the met�*s promised to improve the way it tackles burglaries, after setting up a dedicated team pursuing suspects who are wanted by the courts. across london, burglary rose by 6% last year, and charge rates have fallen. in bromley, a project called operation peloton is targeting suspects with outstanding warrants and aiming to improve response times. the information and the intelligence that we can gather from a police officer, to get into that scene within the first hour, can help us by way of dna, fingerprints, any cctv inquiries, statements from the victim, property outstanding, so we can log and record

all of that. and the met police commissioner sir mark rowley will be on radio london this morning. if you'd like to ask him a question about burglary, or anything else on policing, he's on from 11, talking to eddie nestor. you can get in touch on eddie@bbc.co.uk let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with gemma plumb. good morning. there's going to be plenty of sunshine around as we go through the day today. it is going to be turning much milder as well as we go through the next few days. so, today, it will be dry. and as i say, there's going to be lots of sunshine around for most of us as well. so this morning, it's starting off on a dry note. that dry weather will continue as we go through the day today. plenty of sunshine around. i think there will be some high cloud moving in, particularly as we go through into the afternoon.

so that will turn that sunshine hazy. but it's lighter winds today than we saw yesterday. we're looking at highs of around 8 to 10 degrees. as we go through this evening and overnight, it will be dry and clear for a time. that is going to allow it to turn quite chilly, i think, for a time. but by the end of the night, we are bringing in some more cloud. so it is going to be a cloudy start to the day as we go through into friday. temperatures overnight around five or six degrees for most of us. so friday is going to be a cloudy day. should be dry for most of us, though, it is going to be feeling milder. temperatures up to around 14 degrees and that mild weather will continue as we go through into the weekend. it's going to be dry for most of us, but it will be quite cloudy. that's it. there's lots more on our website, including the play cafe in uxbridge, which helps bereaved families with young children. we're back in half an hour. bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. our headlines today. a woman and two children are in hospital after a corrosive substance was thrown over them in south london. two others who tried to help and three police officers were also injured. a man's been charged with the murders of teenagers mason rist and max dixon, who were stabbed in bristol on saturday. it's illegal to own an xl bully dog without a special exemption certificate from today, in england and wales.

good morning. oil and gas firm shell expected to report another bumper set of profits within the next few minutes, despite the struggle so many households are still having with their bills. i'll have all the details. a new star shines at liverpool — conor bradley steals the show, as they overwhelm chelsea, as they continue to set the pace in the premier league title race. and it is a little bit chilly out there. a lot more sunshine and lighter winds. there. a lot more sunshine and lighterwinds. details there. a lot more sunshine and lighter winds. details on breakfast. good morning. it's thursday, the 1st of february. a woman and her two young children have been taken to hospital after a corrosive substance was thrown over them in south london. it happened on lessar avenue, near clapham common, just before 7:30 last night. several people who came to their aid were also injured, including three police officers. the suspect remains at large.

our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan is at the scene. just take us through what we know of the events? ~ ,., . ., the events? well, police and witnesses — the events? well, police and witnesses describe _ the events? well, police and witnesses describe what i the events? well, police and i witnesses describe what happened here as horrific. and of the details are incredibly distressing. it happened here on lessar avenue, which is a stone's throw away from london's clapham common. throughout the night we saw forensic teams focus their investigations on a white car parked — not of this white car — just where the middle behind me is. that car was finally taken away this morning from the scene. witnesses say it was around 7:30pm yesterday evening that a woman and her two young children were in the car when a man doused them with what

has been described as a corrosive substance. witnesses say the suspect was seen arguing with that woman before the attack took place. some passers—by did try to intervene and help the woman and her children. the bbc spoke to a couple of them. they wouldn't come on camera but we can listen to what they said. i obviously ran in and picked some water— i obviously ran in and picked some water from — i obviously ran in and picked some water from my blog. the mum was saying, "i can't see, i can't see." she had acid on her face. i went and got some water. i got a bottle of water. and started spraying her with the water, basically. then i put water on her whole face. just trying to drench her with the water. i her lips were completely black. her face looked really burnt, like, stripped. off, basically. it's difficult to hear those

details. they are quite distressing. this morning there are still quite a lot of things we don't know about this incident. first of all, we don't know exactly what that corrosive substance was. police say they are continuing to investigate what exactly it was. they are doing tests to work out what the substance was. we also don't know the condition of the mother and her children. and perhaps most crucially, we still don't know where that suspect is. that police manhunt is continuing. thank you very much. four minutes past seven. you have more information on the bristol stabbings, tell us. that's right. a man will appear in court today charged with the murder of two teenage boys in bristol. 44—year—old anthony snook is accused over the fatal stabbings of mason rist and max dixon on saturday night. max's mum has thanked the community

after a vigil was held in memory of both boys, as fiona lamdin reports. remembering max and mason. hundreds of balloons released into the sky above south bristol, not far from where the two young friends were killed on saturday night. and after a two minute's silence, spontaneous applause. max's mum addressed the crowd. max and mason's face is never, ever, ever going to be forgot in this world. this world is never, ever going to be the same without them. please check kids' bags, kids' phones, kids — if they've got things on them, just check them, you're the parents. you've got every right to search your children. please try and keep them safe. i tried to keep my boy safe. we tried so hard. we tried so much for him, everyone, all the girls try to do everything for him, and i could not keep my boy safe, i could not. i tried, but unfortunately,

today i've lost my boy. and i'm never going to see that kid ever again. and i don't want anybody else to go through what i'm going through and what mason's mum is going through. max had three older sisters. one of them told me she'd written him a poem. remember us, in your hearts, your thoughts and memories of the times we've loved, cried, fought and laughed. if you always think of us, you will never be gone. always remember my little brother, max and mason. they're so innocent, they're so innocent. thank you so much. i would do anything, anything to see that smile again. just, anything. he was amazing. he was a credit to everyone. we got a very small family, but a very, very, very close bond. we all love each other, we all support each other, we all care for each other.

and we just do not want this to happen to any other family and go through what we are going through right now. a community calling for answers. the crown prosecution service has authorised us to charge one of those arrested with two counts of murder. further developments are expected in the days ahead, as people who live here anxiously wait for every update that comes. fiona lambdin, bbc news. alan bates, who has led the campaign forjustice in the post office horizon scandal, has said he will reject the government's offer of compensation. the former subpostmaster, whose two—decade fight inspired the recent itv drama, said the offer, which is around a sixth of what he requested, was offensive and cruel. it comes after the government confirmed plans for full and fair compensation to subpostmasters affected by the it scandal.

it's now illegal to own an xl bully in england and wales without a special exemption certificate, after new legislation banning the breed came into force overnight. those who already own the dogs must follow strict rules around neutering and the use of muzzles and leads in public, orface a criminal record and an unlimited fine. breaking news. within the past few moments, the energy firm shell has revealed how much it made in profit at the end of last year. peter's got all the details for us. yes, these numbers are always controversial because when our own gas and electricity bills are so much higher than they were a few years ago, plenty of people understandably angry that energy companies are making sizeable profits. and they are sizeable.

£22.73 profits. and they are sizeable. £22.3 billion. that is for the whole of last year. it is actually less money than the company made in the same period a year earlier. it was a 115 year record last time round. while these profits are 29% lower than last year, our bills have come down slightly but not by any where nearas down slightly but not by any where near as much. shell is having to deal with lower wholesale energy prices. the company makes its cash by producing oil and gas. they don't supply our households on the whole. shell is subject to a higher tax rate than other companies. but a small part of the profits is from the uk operation. so not all of that massive figure is taxable here, despite that, with so many people struggling with their bills these profits, 22.3 billion across the course of last year, still very controversial. thank you.

a new deal which should lead to the recall of the northern ireland assembly will be debated in westminster today. it could bring power sharing back to stormont after a two—year pause, caused by a dup boycott over post—brexit trade rules. our news correspondent tomos morgan is in belfast. elements of government completely paralysed by this situation. that could be about to change? yes. paralysed by this situation. that could be about to change? yes, at last here in _ could be about to change? yes, at last here in northern _ could be about to change? yes, at last here in northern ireland i could be about to change? yes, at last here in northern ireland it i last here in northern ireland it could be about to change as close as saturday, it looks like. all eyes will be on westminster today as the legislation, two parts of it, needs to be debated. part of that deal between the dup and the uk government. after that, the speaker can be elected here and a new first minister, a republican first minister, a republican first ministerfor the first time, minister for the first time, michelle ministerfor the first time, michelle o'neill. it is so important really that the devolved government gets back in action because there has been a kind of stalemate here in

terms of public services, potentially run by civil servants, which means they have been a number of strikes. even today there will be a bus and rail strike year in northern ireland because the dispute has not been resolved. yesterday the northern ireland minister did come here to ignore the knowledge to meet the dup leader, sirjeffrey donaldson, to hold a press conference saying this was a good deal for northern ireland, conference saying this was a good dealfor northern ireland, and in it he did say as well that a £3 billion package would be released to the northern ireland devolved government when it's back up and running, and that can be spent on public sector. thank you. 11 minutes past seven. monkey update for you. a monkey on the loose in the scottish highlands has been spotted using thermal imaging drones which are normally deployed to find lost hikers. the monkey — ajapanese macaque — escaped from a wildlife park at the weekend.

it's hoped the seven—year—old male is making his way back to the highland wildlife park. doesn't look like he is in a rush. i am absolutely fascinated by that story. i am really hoping that someone this morning, whether there is another sighting. there was a little bit of filming someone's back garden. just wandering through. if you see the monkey, to get in touch. charlie is fascinated by it monkey watch this morning. absolutely. it's interesting, isn't it? how is the weather this morning? there used to cold weather. yes, fairly cold, i believe. it is not as windy as yesterday. good roaming weather. i know all these things. good morning. it is cold out there this

morning. it is cold out there this morning. a touch of frost in parts of northern ireland. england and wales. look at the start in south shields. clearskies. wales. look at the start in south shields. clear skies. that means more sunshine for most. particularly this morning. it will turn hazy litter. nowhere near as windy as it was. the winds will pick up in northern scotland later this afternoon. still breezy, not compared with yesterday. a few showers north and west scotland. a few spots of light rain in northern ireland in the middle part of the day, more persistent rain in the north—west later on. away from that in some good sunny spells, turning hazy, winds lighter in the south, strengthening further north later in the day. temperatures today around eight to 10 degrees. after that chilly start, they should feel higher for this chilly start, they should feel higherfor this time of chilly start, they should feel higher for this time of the year. it stays dry throughout if you are in wales, central and southern england. here is where the best of the sunshine will be. more cloud in

northern england, northern ireland, certainly through the afternoon. hazy sunshine in the south—east of scotland, but to the north and west persistent rain through the second part of the day. winds will strengthen. 50 to 60 mph once again. persistent rain clears east. clear skies initially elsewhere. temperatures could drop to two or three celsius. by the time we start tomorrow morning, eight to 11 degrees. a dimaio start. pretty cloudy start. a lot of cloud through friday. some sunny breaks. but you can expect a little bit of rain at times. temperatures still well above where they should times. temperatures still well above where they should be times. temperatures still well above where they should be at times. temperatures still well above where they should be at the times. temperatures still well above where they should be at the time times. temperatures still well above where they should be at the time of the year. i will take a bit of drizzle for that one tablature. 40 minutes past seven. —— warm temperature. we've probably all experienced some form of anxiety in our lives. but for an increasing number of people it's much more than just mild unease. medium to high levels of anxiety can be crippling,

socially, professionally and emotionally. a new bbc documentary is shedding light on the condition. let's take a look. anxiety for me feels like a long, dark tunnel. i have always been quite anxious. i've always been very kind of timid and shy. i wasjust constantly worrying about what other people thought and also what i was going to do in every single situation that could ever happen. if i was like today i'm going to go on public transport, catch a bus into town, whatever, even though it seems like a very step—by—step and simple process, to actually then go through with the act of dust saying, can i have a single ticket to wherever, it became a bigger issue. the nurse would —— nerves would start, the heart palpitations, the feeling like you can't breathe. where do i look, where do i go? am i being weird, or being uncomfortable? what if somebody me a question?

—— asks me a question. we're joined now byjosh cruddace, who also lives with anxiety, and clinical psychologist dr kirren schnack. good morning to both of you. just, good morning to you. the first thing i am going to say to you is i know you are being very open and candid about your anxiety. and straightaway i will say some people are going to be thinking, surely being on live television can't be helpful to your situation. just explain to us a little bit about how it affects you? yeah, i would little bit about how it affects you? yeah, iwould probably little bit about how it affects you? yeah, i would probably agree with those people. appearing on live tv is definitely terrifying. i've definitely lost a lot of sleep over it. you generally think of anxiety as panic attacks and stuff like that. it comes in a tone of different forms. for me, it is an internal thread. different forms. for me, it is an internalthread. i different forms. for me, it is an internal thread. i call it almost meerkat mode. hypersensitivity to my environment. it fluctuates my emotions out of control. find

environment. it fluctuates my emotions out of control. and that is a constant thing, _ emotions out of control. and that is a constant thing, josh? _ emotions out of control. and that is a constant thing, josh? try - emotions out of control. and that is a constant thing, josh? try to i a constant thing, josh? try to explain. does it come and go or remain with you?— remain with you? no, it is a constant — remain with you? no, it is a constant thing. _ remain with you? no, it is a constant thing. i— remain with you? no, it is a constant thing. i call- remain with you? no, it is a constant thing. i call it i remain with you? no, it is a constant thing. i call it like l remain with you? no, it is a | constant thing. i call it like a little backpack of emotions. i've got all these negative emotions that i carry around with me all day. kind of builds as day goes on. i put more emotions in this backpack. it never leaves. you don't often get a chance to empty the backpack, which is why myself personally, and people with anxiety, you can go from zero to ten almost instantly because you are already at a constant five out of ten, so it doesn't take too much for you to go in either direction. leading up to this interview, i have lost a lot of sleep. then i will do a postmortem on my time here and really beat myself up. it comes in different forms. i've got a generalised anxiety disorder, which encompasses everything. fear of health, fear around people, social

listening is a huge skill. i would often talk to people about my mental health. there is a big push at the moment and talking. but it is so important to listen, or learn how to listen to people's problems. those one—off phrases, don't worry about it, there are people worse off than you and that sort of stuff, and when you and that sort of stuff, and when you feel like you are about to lose your life because of this illness, people are joined to help, but that is the last thing you want to hear. just going out there, connecting to my peer support, speak to your doctor, take your medication. there is nothing wrong or shameful with any of that. is nothing wrong or shameful with any of that-— any of that. josh, thank you so much. any of that. josh, thank you so much- very — any of that. josh, thank you so much. very quickly, _ any of that. josh, thank you so much. very quickly, what i much. very quickly, what professional help is available if somebody feels like they are on a runaway train and there is no way back, what should they be doing? i think most places in the uk can self refer for— think most places in the uk can self refer for psychological therapy for anxiety _ refer for psychological therapy for anxiety. you canjust put into googte — anxiety. you canjust put into google your county and cite a talking — google your county and cite a talking therapy for anxiety and you can self— talking therapy for anxiety and you can self refer. you can speak to your— can self refer. you can speak to your gp — can self refer. you can speak to your gp. there is free access to

it is a play on the song. it is a play on the song. i know. in case you didn't catch the words of the song. he will be here. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. as you've been hearing, police are searching for a man after a woman and her two young children were taken to hospital, after they had a suspected corrosive substance thrown at them in south london. it happened in lessar avenue near clapham common at around 7.25pm last night. three other members of the public were also taken to hospital. their injuries are thought to have been suffered as they came to the aid of the woman and her children. new data shows that a record number of people are rough sleeping in london. the figures, published by the greater london authority, showed that more than four thousand people were seen sleeping

on the capital's streets between october and december last year —— a 23 per cent increase on the same period in 2022. the met�*s promised to improve the way it tackles burglaries after setting up a dedicated team pursuing suspects who are wanted by the courts. across london, burglary rose by 6% last year— and charge rates have fallen. in bromley, a project called operation peloton is targeting suspects with outstanding warrants— and aiming to improve response times. the information and the intelligence that we can gather from a police officer, to get into that scene within the first hour, can help us by way of dna, fingerprints, any cctv inquiries, statements from the victim, property outstanding, so we can log and record all of that. and the met police commissioner sir mark rowley will be on radio london this morning. if you'd like to ask him a question, about burglary or anything else on policing, he's on from 11, talking to eddie nestor. you can get in touch on eddie@bbc.co.uk

let's take a look at the tubes now . there's are severe delays on the central line at the moment but all other lines are running well. now onto the weather with gemma plumb. good morning. there's going to be plenty of sunshine around as we go through the day today. it is going to be turning much milder as well as we go through the next few days. so, today, it will be dry. and as i say, there's going to be lots of sunshine around for most of us as well. so this morning, it's starting off on a dry note. that dry weather will continue as we go through the day today. plenty of sunshine around. i think there will be some high cloud moving in, particularly as we go through into the afternoon. so that will turn that sunshine hazy. but it's lighter winds today than we saw yesterday. we're looking at highs of around 8 to 10 degrees. as we go through this evening and overnight, it will be dry and clear for a time. that is going to allow it to turn quite chilly, i think, for a time.

but by the end of the night, we are bringing in some more cloud. so it is going to be a cloudy start to the day as we go through into friday. temperatures overnight around five or six degrees for most of us. so friday is going to be a cloudy day. should be dry for most of us, though, it is going to be feeling milder. temperatures up to around 14 degrees and that mild weather will continue as we go through into the weekend. it's going to be dry for most of us, but it will be quite cloudy. that's it — there's lots more on our website including the play cafe in uxbridge which helps bereaved families with young children. don't forget the bbc news app as well. we're back in half an hour. bye. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. from today, it's illegal to own an xl bully dog in england and wales — without a special certificate of exemption. owners will also have to follow a strict set of rules around muzzling, neutering and microchipping the dogs. many xl bullies have ended up in kennels as a result of the new law — our reporter frances read

is at one in luton. this i understand there is a xl bully where you are. tell us more about the changes rocked re—article. —— there is lookout top dogs morning exercise. and they are running round in the exercise area. and that this cannot rescue all types of dogs cannot rescue all types of dogs cannot be rehomed even if they have

in scotland there will be restrictions later this month and a deadline at the end ofjuly to get the necessary paperwork. the changes are aimed at stopping repeats of cases like jack liz. in 2021 d ten—year—old was killed by an xl bully when he went to play at his friend's, and carefully. the owners were jailed for several years each. i first wanted to ban every single xl bully, american bully, every variant of it. and then i thought, i was listening to organisations, and they were saying it is not the breed, it is the owners. i agreed. but over the last year, and how many attacks there have been, and how many the xl bully has answerable for, and a variants of it, i couldn't sit there and think, ok, it's not the breed. despite it now being illegal to abandon xl bullies, shelters are concerned they

could now be inundated without any possibility of having them rehomed. a dog that rapidly became one of the uk's most popular, nowjust became one of the uk's most popular, now just as became one of the uk's most popular, nowjust as quickly unwanted. they are some of the problems the kennels are having. maybe you want to introduce me to hear you have got. to introduce me to hear you have not. . to introduce me to hear you have rot, , . ., , , ., to introduce me to hear you have got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl bull got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl lsully who _ got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl bully who came _ got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl bully who came in _ got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl bully who came in as _ got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl bully who came in as a - got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl bully who came in as a stray, . got. this chap is kai lowe, a xl i bully who came in as a stray, back in march and we were not able to find a home but we had already neutered him and done everything and were getting him ready to go into a home and we have exempted him and he will stay with us for the rest of his life and he's very happy here. he has got a certificate? yes. his life and he's very happy here. he has got a certificate? yes, we not that he has got a certificate? yes, we got that in _ he has got a certificate? yes, we got that in good _ he has got a certificate? yes, we got that in good time. _ he has got a certificate? yes, we got that in good time. we - he has got a certificate? yes, we got that in good time. we know. he has got a certificate? yes, we i got that in good time. we know the le . islation got that in good time. we know the legislation is _ got that in good time. we know the legislation is coming _ got that in good time. we know the legislation is coming because i got that in good time. we know the legislation is coming because of. got that in good time. we know the legislation is coming because of a l legislation is coming because of a number of problems and attacks, but what are the problems the kennels are facing? the what are the problems the kennels are facin: ? ., , .,, what are the problems the kennels are facin: ? ., , ., , ., are facing? the main problem for rescue capitals —

international already. he stole the show last night, absolutely broner. the end of one era is coinciding with the start of a new dynasty at liverpool is another of their talented youngsters was the star last night in their thrashing of chelsea. it restored liverpool's five—point lead at the top of the premier league. and it was connor bradley, just 20, whose performance shone brightest. he set up two goals and scored himself in between. his first for the club. what a finish it was, belying his 20 years. he said he wasn't expecting it at the wasn't sure how to sell about. that is good enough as a celebration, isn't it? he said, it is like living in a dream. diaz rounded off a 4—1 victory. the managerjustified for keeping faith in bradley. he really understands the way we want to play. you have to be brave. he is that. i am really happy for him. it's all fine. he's a very

because we controlled everything and we were better. i don't have that feeling. tottenham are feeling. tottenha m a re into feeling. tottenham are into fourth after coming from behind to beat brentford. they scored three quickfire goals in the space of seven minutes straight after half—time. richarlison scored the third. it finished 3—2. brentford nowjust four points above the relegation zone. the manchester united manager, erik ten hag, says the case is closed on marcus rashford's recent misdemeanours. but the boss believes players must show discipline on and off the pitch. rashford didn't play in the fa cup game on sunday after reporting ill for training on the friday. that was after he was reportedly spotted in nightspot in belfast on the previous two nights. he is back in the squad for tonight's match at wolves. although ten hag refused to answer any direct questions, he did have this to say. we have people in this club who are helping the players on that, but as

i said before, helping the players on that, but as isaid before, at helping the players on that, but as i said before, at the end of the day when you are a player at man united, you have to manage yourself and you have to take responsibility for your performance. and your performance in a team. it is all about that. manchester united are winning football games. it is all about that. it is not a complete kit. british number twojodie burrage has reached a career milestone, reaching the quarter—finals of a wta 500 event for the first time. she came through two qualifying rounds to reach the main draw at the linz open in austria, before winning on tuesday, and then beating jaqueline cristian in straight sets. she'll play number one seed jelena ostapenko or clara tauson next. but britian's top—ranked player katie boulterfailed to make it through after losing a tight match against anastasia pavlyuchenkova in straight sets the premier league darts series, begins tonight in cardiff, with luke littler, who's now

17 and world champion, luke humphries headlining the i7—week event. there are eight players in all, and the tournament will visit cities across the uk, as well as berlin, and rotterdam, culminating, with the final in london in may. it comes on the back of the thrilling world championships and the run of littler, who lost to humphries in the final — and they'll play each other first. we are going to play each other so much that it is not going to be repeat or revenge. literally we are playing each other all the time. like i said, i got the one that mattered the most, of course. if you beat me ten times on the trot i still don't see that as revenge. a lot of people say, he gets revenge. but we both get on so well. i really like him as friends. i look forward to playing of the next 20 years. we've all been there. you come to a roundabout in a rather unfamiliar place. you take a wrong turn. it happens. place. you take a wrong turn. it ha ens. ., ,

right across the uk, those running post offices are facing an uphill battle. in the village of comrie in perthshire, marlene runs the post office and the shop. that's my terminal. my keyboard is filled with the majority of the work. i've got my postbags here. i've got coffee machine. we sell mobile phone top—ups. but she's struggling to make any money at all. there is no basic salary. we are paid per transaction. the amount that we get to sell a first class stamp is six pence. so think how many first class stamps you're going to have to sell. after five years of blood, sweat and tears, marlins put this place up for sale. but she's not hopeful. i'm never going to sell this place. that's the reality of it, you know, and, would you buy a post office? no, because i certainly wouldn't. you know, and i have sunk, you know, sunk everything into it. you know, i have

inquiry as this massive police investigation continues. thank you. coming up to six minutes past eight. you can update us, nina, on new information in relation to the bristol stabbings? that's right. good morning. a man will appear in court today charged with the murder of two teenage boys in bristol. mason rist, who was 15, and max dixon, who was 16, were fatally stabbed in the knowle west area of the city on saturday night. 44—year—old anthony snook will appear at bristol magistrates' court today. energy firm shell has announced how much profit it made last year, and it is another bumper set of cash at a time when many people are still struggling with gas and electricity bills. peter has the numbers. that's right. plen of peter has the numbers. that's right. plenty of people _ peter has the numbers. that's right. plenty of people understandably - peter has the numbers. that's right. plenty of people understandably get| plenty of people understandably get angry when energy companies like shell make big profits at the same time as households struggle. this is

another big number. {22.3 billion. that is for the whole of 2023. that is actually quite a lot less than the company made in the same period last year. this time last year we were talking about an historic record. although shell's profits have come down 29%, partly because of lower wholesale oil and gas prices, our own energy bills have not come down by as much, if at all, when you factor in fewer support schemes. important to remember the company does make its money by producing oil and gas. they don't supply our households, but shell does pay a higher tax rate than other companies. a small portion of the profits are taxable in the uk. shell has today decided to make —— paid shareholders just under £3 billion. these profits are still very controversial. thank you. alan bates, who has led the campaign forjustice

in the post office horizon scandal, has said he will reject the government's offer of compensation. the former subpostmaster, whose two—decade fight inspired the recent itv drama, told the telegraph, that the offer, which is "around a sixth" of what he requested, was "offensive" and "cruel". it comes after the government confirmed plans for full and fair compensation to subpostmasters affected by the it scandal in 2022. hundreds of tractors have been driven into brussels this morning, in protest against rising farming costs. horns blared around the streets of the belgian capital, ahead of a european union summit taking place later. farmers have been blocking highways in france and belgium in recent days, as europe's farming crisis intensifies. a new deal which should lead to the recall of the northern ireland assembly will be debated in westminster today. it could bring power sharing back to stormont after a two—year pause, caused by a dup boycott over post—brexit trade rules. our news correspondent

tomos morgan is in belfast. a long time coming, this deal? yes. it has been almost two years since there was a functioning devolved government here in northern ireland. essentially the dup boycott started just after the last election year. this deal is crucially important for the whole area here. because for that time the government has been run essentially by civil servants. departments have not been able to function properly without working ministers. so, a huge relief will come in some days and weeks to those working in the public sector because they have been battling in pay disputes, striking because of pay disputes, striking because of pay disputes, and in fact, there is actually a strike today in bus and rail services because that is still in dispute as well. as part of this deal, the northern ireland secretary answered jeffrey donaldson from the dup have said there will be money

released from westminster, about £3 billion, and when the devolved government is back in action that will be spent. on the public sector. the legislation of the new deal needs to be debated in westminster, in parliament, and then we will start the bowl rolling here, the speaker will be nominated, bubbly tomorrow, and possibly by saturday the government would be back in action. and with, of course, a new first minister. that will be a sinn fein first ministerfor first minister. that will be a sinn fein first minister for the first time ever. a big moment that would be. thank you. ten minutes past eight. now, you might expect expensive jewellery and money to be the obvious targets for a robbery. but not this time, after a i2—foot taxidermy polar bear was stolen in canada. police are investigating the theft of the giant, stuffed animal which weighs around 225 kilo—grams from a resort near the city of edmonton. the public has been asked to keep

an eye out for the large bear. you would spot it, wouldn't you? you would hope so. maybe not in the snow. let's have a look at the weather. matt. something brighter today after the rain yesterday. the strong winds lighter. sun coming up in cornwall. there is some high cloud. that would be drifting its way. the sunshine will turn hazy. a few changes for others. compared with yesterday as windy. just about all of us will see at least a little bit of sunshine for a time. the best will be this morning. we do have a few showers in the north and west of scotland. still a blustery wind. no where near as as yesterday. two will thicken up in northern ireland in the greater part of the day. rain becoming more persistent later. the winds will strengthen. further south,

persistent later. the winds will strengthen. furthersouth, pretty light winds compared with what we saw. a pleasant day. temperatures lifting after a touch of frost this morning, up to nine or 10 degrees. we finished the day and go into the afternoon and evening dry and reasonably clear. high cloud across southern areas. a bit more cloud in the second part of the day across parts of northern england and northern ireland, but with spells of hazy sunshine. we could see to the south—east of scotland. a great end to the day. outbreaks of rain becoming more persistent. the wind will strengthen again later in the day. we could see winds at 50 to 60 mph for a time to read. a spell of persistent rain the first part of the night. turning drier later. damp and drizzly into the west. lots of cloud spreading in later. after an initial dip in temperature in parts of central and eastern england, we will all be at levels we will see this afternoon by tomorrow morning. lots of cloud tomorrow. some light rain or drizzle in the west. still a

bit of rain at times this weekend. but overall, a few glimpses of sunshine and it will stay mild. we will take that. thank you. giving effective cpr is one of the most important skills in the first aid handbook — it's literally the difference between life and death when someone's heart stops beating. new research from the british heart foundation, however, shows that nearly half of british people have never learnt how to do it. the football community is doing its bit to address that, and john's been to meet two fans who have more reason than most to spread the message. harry and his family are huge brighton fans, but seven years ago harry suffered a cardiac arrest at school. it was his teacher, christine, who saved his life. harry was playing football at the after school club and i got called out to the field and he was just lying there. i knew he wasn't breathing because i'd checked for the breathing and also his lips were going blue. she continued doing cpr for 15

minutes without stopping. i mean, she's the most amazing lady. and yeah, i'm really, really grateful for what she did for harry. all i could remember was waking up in hospital and not really— knowing what had happened and what had gone on. - right, we'll kick off then, guys. listen, thank you so much for making the time. now a cpr session is being laid on. it's easy to learn, using just your phone and a cushion. bit of music. i mean, it is quite exhausting, butjust try and keep with it. bit of exercise for you now. to the beat. four, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. one, two, three, four. learning this skill, you could actually be saving a loved one. so, yes, it's very important. you just get into the rhythm really quickly with it. yeah.

more confident than i was this morning. _ more confident than i was this morning, definitely. a cardiac arrest can happen to anyone. as the collapse of luton town captain tom lockyer back in december showed. during his recovery, he thanked those who helped him and encouraged more to learn cpr. earlier this week he returned to his club and was given a standing ovation in their game against brighton. tom lockyer was in many ways very lucky that it happened on a football pitch with people who knew how to do cpr and there's a defibrillator there ready to save his life. but we see thousands and thousands of people who die unnecessarily each year in the country from cardiac arrests. and there are things we can do, and it's the public can do it just as well as i can. and you don't need to have great training or anything like that. cpr is relatively really easy. we're here with harry. harry, do you want to come up and join me? not everybody will be as lucky

as harry who's received this special message. i want to say thank you to everyone from the club for what you are doing and teaching everyone to do cpr and we know it's really important to you and keep up the good work. take care and i hope to see you at the next albion game. how was that? awesome. that cpr is what has got us our son here today. and allows us to go to watch brighton every week. it's just amazing. watch brighton every week. it's 'ust amazinu. ~ , ., , watch brighton every week. it's 'ust amazinu. , ., ., amazing. whilst many are learning firures amazing. whilst many are learning figures show _ amazing. whilst many are learning figures show there _ amazing. whilst many are learning figures show there is _ amazing. whilst many are learning figures show there is a _ amazing. whilst many are learning figures show there is a long - amazing. whilst many are learning figures show there is a long way i amazing. whilst many are learning figures show there is a long way to go. figures show there is a long way to co. figures show there is a long way to i o, , ., . figures show there is a long way to co. , ., . , ., , figures show there is a long way to co. go. new research shows that nearly half of uk adults _ go. new research shows that nearly half of uk adults still— go. new research shows that nearly half of uk adults still don't - go. new research shows that nearly half of uk adults still don't know i half of uk adults still don't know cpr. that is 23 million people that need to learn the live skating skills of cpr.

can we borrow your script love it. it's all yours! i didn't hear a thing. i thought everyone had lost the plot. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. as you've been hearing, police are searching for a man after a woman and her two young children were taken to hospital after they had a suspected corrosive substance thrown at them in south london. it happened in lessar avenue near clapham common at around 7.25pm last night. three other members of the public were also taken to hospital. their injuries are thought to have been suffered as they came to the aid of the woman and her children.

i and her children. just saw there was a lot of police outside, i just saw there was a lot of police outside, a lot of ambulances. residents must have been really shocked? , ,., shocked? they were terrified, some of them were- _ shocked? they were terrified, some of them were. the _ shocked? they were terrified, some of them were. the family _ shocked? they were terrified, some of them were. the family in - shocked? they were terrified, some of them were. the family in there i of them were. the family in there that was not able to leave the building or come inside. thejustice minister and finchley and golders green mp mike freer has said he will stand down at the next election, after an arson attack on his constituency office in north london. it also follows what he described as several serious threats to his personal safety. mr freer said the incidents had "weighed heavily" on him and his husband. new data shows that a record number of people are rough sleeping in london. the figures, published by the greater london authority, showed that more than four thousand people were seen sleeping on the capital's streets between october and december last year — a 23% increase on the same period in 2022. businesses have urged the rail unions to consider the consequences of strikes as the hospitality sector warned it could lose over £350 million across the country

because of the latest walkouts. the night time industries association warned it was "deeply concerned" about the recent industrial action. members of aslef on some commuter routes into the capital have walked out this week in a dispute over pay. a spokesperson for aslef said, "taking strike action is always a last resort." let's take a look at the tubes now. there are severe delays on the central line at the moment but all other lines are running well. now onto the weather with gemma plumb. good morning. there's going to be plenty of sunshine around as we go through the day today. it is going to be turning much milder as well as we go through the next few days. so, today, it will be dry. and as i say, there's going to be lots of sunshine around for most of us as well. so this morning, it's starting off on a dry note. that dry weather will continue as we go through the day today. plenty of sunshine around. i think there will be some high cloud moving in, particularly

as we go through into the afternoon. so that will turn that sunshine hazy. but it's lighter winds today than we saw yesterday. we're looking at highs of around 8 to 10 degrees. as we go through this evening and overnight, it will be dry and clear for a time. that is going to allow it to turn quite chilly, i think, for a time. but by the end of the night, we are bringing in some more cloud. so it is going to be a cloudy start to the day as we go through into friday. temperatures overnight around five or six degrees for most of us. so friday is going to be a cloudy day. should be dry for most of us, though, it is going to be feeling milder. temperatures up to around iii degrees and that mild weather will continue as we go through into the weekend. it's going to be dry for most of us, but it will be quite cloudy. that's it — there's lots more on our website including the play cafe in uxbridge which helps bereaved families with young children. don't forget the bbc news app as well. we're back in half an hour. bye.. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. the new series of the apprentice starts on bbc one tonight, as another set of ambitious entrepreneurs battle

to become lord sugar�*s chosen one. there'll be the usual challenges and boardroom ordeals but lord sugar has already set a couple of non—negotiable rules — no influencers, and nobody who wants to work from home. charlotte gallagher has the story. i'mjust i'm just trying to find out what you did. i'm 'ust trying to find out what you did. �* , , ., ., i'm 'ust trying to find out what you did. �*, , ., . you did. he's been interrogating. you lost control _ did. he's been interrogating. you lost control of _ did. he's been interrogating. you lost control of that. _ did. he's been interrogating. you lost control of that. you're - did. he's been interrogating. you lost control of that. you're fired. | lost control of that. you're fired. and eventually _ lost control of that. you're fired. and eventually hiring _ lost control of that. you're fired. and eventually hiring on - lost control of that. you're fired. and eventually hiring on our - and eventually hiring on our television is.— and eventually hiring on our television is. , ., ., television is. tim, you are hired. for almost— television is. tim, you are hired. for almost 20 _ television is. tim, you are hired. for almost 20 years _ television is. tim, you are hired. for almost 20 years and - television is. tim, you are hired. for almost 20 years and sugar . television is. tim, you are hired. for almost 20 years and sugar is back for an 18th series of the apprentice. nine men and nine women are battling it out to win a quarter of £1 million and business guidance from lord sugar. theirfirst task, event organising in the scottish highlands with some reluctant abseiling. highlands with some reluctant abseilinu. ., ., abseiling. how are you feeling, budd ?

showdown. how does lord sugar deal with candidates getting upset? if with candidates getting upset? if they crumble or get upset in front of me, then, we will take a pause. and we willjust sit back and say look, chill out. this is not the end of the world. calm down or whatever. and move on from there when they have composed themselves. iltfufhen and move on from there when they have composed themselves. when the a- rentice have composed themselves. when the apprentice first — have composed themselves. when the apprentice first started _ have composed themselves. when the apprentice first started in _ have composed themselves. when the apprentice first started in 2005 - apprentice first started in 2005 social media was in its infancy. that has all changed and lord sugar says he worries about influencers trying to get on the show. the production _ trying to get on the show. the: production company that's trying to get on the show. tu9 production company that's been making this thing for 18 years and my staff go along to the auditions, can smell them a mile off! and that's when they are eliminated in the first round. 50 that's when they are eliminated in the first round.— that's when they are eliminated in the first round. so no influences on the first round. so no influences on the apprentice _

of the argument, i suppose. employers when they feel in—person collaboration and training is the key to success, then we do see it, other employers believe working from home can be as productive and conducive and technology can be helpful to that so really very divisive. ~ , ., divisive. when there is that conflict-of-interest - divisive. when there is that conflict-of-interest or - divisive. when there is that i conflict-of-interest or conflict divisive. when there is that - conflict-of-interest or conflict of conflict—of—interest or conflict of preference, what are the avenues on both parts, where it does the low light? both parts, where it does the low lirht? :, ., , both parts, where it does the low lirht? :, ,., ,., , light? right now as it stands albeit it is changing _ light? right now as it stands albeit it is changing in — light? right now as it stands albeit it is changing in april, _ light? right now as it stands albeit it is changing in april, an _ light? right now as it stands albeit| it is changing in april, an employee for 26 week service can make a request for —— 26 weeks can request flexible working but an employer can deny that for a number of reasons such as detrimental to performance, quality. the employer if they have a compelling business reason can refuse it so it is within the gift to do that and many employers because of the desire for success and growth go down that avenue. what

if you want to escalate their decision and you say i cannot be productive but i believe i can be, what avenues do you have? in terms of flexible working they can appeal it, an employer should have that detailed in the documentation, the right to appeal unto to appeal to and they can exercise that right but at the same time the same processes entailed and the employer can refuse that. :, ., ., that. you said something about a chanauin that. you said something about a changing in _ that. you said something about a changing in april? _ that. you said something about a changing in april? all _ that. you said something about a changing in april? all change. i that. you said something about a changing in april? all change. an emlo er changing in april? all change. an employer can _ changing in april? all change. an employer can make _ changing in april? all change. an employer can make a _ changing in april? all change. an employer can make a flexible - changing in april? all change. an - employer can make a flexible working request once in every 12 months, it's going to be twice, a bigger change, you have to have 26 week service continuous service to currently make a request in april, but will become a date one right so inevitably that will mean more requests, frequent requests, more work for employers and probably the argument will continue, because it does the business decision lie? interesting that it will have an impact on the jobs market, the

weight of people e—mailing in and responding say they disagreed with lord sugar, one of them was i achieved what working from home, i do not have to commute, but some in lincolnshire said i turn down a job offer, had a 9% salary increase but i did not want it because they did not allot working from home, flexibility and value more than anything else. if you want to appeal to certain talent maybe you have to be more relaxed?— to certain talent maybe you have to be more relaxed? there's definitely a oint to be more relaxed? there's definitely a point to be _ be more relaxed? there's definitely a point to be made _ be more relaxed? there's definitely a point to be made about _ be more relaxed? there's definitely a point to be made about the - be more relaxed? there's definitely a point to be made about the talentj a point to be made about the talent market and attracting talent but ultimately the flexible working comes down to the role time, the industry what the business once, the collaboration, understanding the culture and many businesses believe thatis culture and many businesses believe that is only achieved via in—person interactions so that is where the argument lies.— argument lies. whilst a right to ask, that argument lies. whilst a right to ask. that is _ argument lies. whilst a right to ask, that is a _ argument lies. whilst a right to ask, that is a good _ argument lies. whilst a right to ask, that is a good thing, - argument lies. whilst a right to ask, that is a good thing, a - ask, that is a good thing, a positive thing but at some point, i don't know how you advise people to get into a protracted argument or

debate or discussion with your employer about how you work, you know? now you are saying you can do it from day one, twice a year, is that a good position to be in, in itself it doesn't sound constructive? tl itself it doesn't sound constructive?- itself it doesn't sound constructive? , . ., ., constructive? it is a great right to have but when _ constructive? it is a great right to have but when that _ constructive? it is a great right to have but when that position - constructive? it is a great right to| have but when that position arises it's not ideal for anyone ultimately. the ideal as you come to a working arrangement beneficial for all but the realities of work that does not always happen so many employees will exercise the full process, they will be refused flexible working and then life goes on. what they do from there it is ultimately in their hands. you said at day one. _ ultimately in their hands. you said at day one. you — ultimately in their hands. you said at day one, you can _ ultimately in their hands. you said at day one, you can ask, - ultimately in their hands. you said at day one, you can ask, logicallyl at day one, you can ask, logically presumably you want that discussion when you take the job, do not take thejob and then when you take the job, do not take the job and then day one go now about how i am working, you get arranged in advance? recruitment is so expensive. _ arranged in advance? recruitment is so expensive, the _ arranged in advance? recruitment is so expensive, the last _ arranged in advance? recruitment is so expensive, the last thing - arranged in advance? recruitment is so expensive, the last thing you - so expensive, the last thing you

want is an employee walking through the door on the first day and say there is my request for home working. as an employer that interview is a two—way thing, explain your business and culture, they are interviewing you as much as you are interviewing them so make your position clear at that point. interestingly we have had some messages from service users who used a service of someone working from home and hilary and sue both said when workers are at home you can tell on the phone, they are not as professional, and henry says someone was on the phone to her and disappeared to take a parcel. there was a case — disappeared to take a parcel. there was a case last _ disappeared to take a parcel. there was a case last week, _ disappeared to take a parcel. there was a case last week, wilson - disappeared to take a parcel. ii—ii” was a case last week, wilson versus the fca and the claimant lost their claim and that was around being able to work from home so the argument from the employer was such things like that, the collaboration, in—person training, do not analyse the situation from your own perspective, think about your customer so yes, that's a valid point that many employers make.

thank you so much, lots of people very interested in that story. thank you. it is 8:42am. mike bushell is here with the sport! talking about the apprentices at the liverpool! whoever takes over from jurgen klopp at the end of the season, will have some really talented youngsters to work with and one of the rising stars, 20 year old conor bradley, was the toast of anfield last night, as liverpool thrashed chelsea, to restore their five—point lead at the top of the premier league. the northern ireland international set up two goals, and scored himself in between — his first for the club and a wonderfulfinish — he said he wasn't expecting it and wasn't sure how to celebrate.. and added it's like living in a dream! luis diaz rounded off a 4—1victory — theirfourth league win in a row and the manager, vindicated for starting bradley over the more experienced, trent alexander arnold. it's manchester city who now lead the chasing pack in second.

captain kevin de bruyne made his first start in the league since his own long awaited return, and it was his clever little, free kick that gave julien alvarez his second goal on his birthday as they beat burnley 3—1. it could have been a lot more. tottenham are up to fourth after coming from behind to beat brentford. they scored three quickfire goals in the space of seven minutes straight after half time. richarlison scored spurs third and it finished 3—2. brentford are nowjust four points above the relegation zone. now how about this from a social media video to the england test team in the space ofjust eight months? it's a remarkable rise for 20 year old, spin bowler, shoaib bashir, who will make his test debut when england take on india in the second test in vizag tomorrow. bashir only played his first first— class match for somerset last

june and this social media video from that match, impressed england captain ben stokes so much, that he alerted the england management and bashir was picked for the tour. he did have problems getting a visa sorted, in time to be available, for the first test which ended, in that famous england win but he'll get his chance tomorrow with jack leach injured while james anderson comes in for mark wood. it all starts with the battle of the lukes as the premier league darts series begins tonight in cardiff. world champion luke humphries, and 17 year old luke littler are cities across the uk, as well as berlin, and rotterdam, culminating, with the final in london in may. it comes on the back of the thrilling world championships with the run of teenager littler who lost to humphries in the final — and they'll play each other first. i understand the attention is on him but he has brought a lot of noise to the sport so you cannot argue against it, he deserves it but i hope it does not affect him too much and he does not have too much on his shoulders, everyone trying to get a piece of them because he's young and he wants to enjoy life and being a

player but he's the most famous player but he's the most famous player in the world at the moment so it comes with a lot of pressures, i guess. b. it comes with a lot of pressures, i ruess. : :, it comes with a lot of pressures, i ruess. : . ., guess. a new era, premier league darts starting — guess. a new era, premier league darts starting tonight. _ guess. a new era, premier league darts starting tonight. thank - guess. a new era, premier league darts starting tonight. thank you i guess. a new era, premier league | darts starting tonight. thank you so much. the time is 8:45am. here's matt with the weather. thankfully, more quiet than some of you saw yesterday. this was the storm that crossed to the north of us, gusts of wind close to 80 miles an hour in shetland but look close, 124 mile in our winds and the faroe islands, hundred and 40 miles an hour on the coast of norway and that storm bringing record wind speeds across sweden but it's a way. for us, quarterwindow across sweden but it's a way. for us, quarter window to start but you see the cloud spilling its way in and that will take away some of the sunshine and some of you enjoying at this morning. chilly out there, for us this morning, and northern

potato seller in the world. a few hundred thousand followers, iwas, you know, cruising along quite nicely and very happy about it. and i don't know what the catalyst was for it to just shoot up as bonkers as it did. but all of a sudden the world has gone mad forjacket spuds. as spud man's fame grows, so do the queues, stretching across the square in tamworth from the moment the shutters open. but it's notjust the locals. people are coming from across the uk, and around the world, just to try one of spud man's jacket potatoes. so, you're not on holiday, then, you've just come to get a jacket potato? yeah. we came here for a week. yeah. then drove here. and straight here for a jacket spud? yeah. and it seemed everyone in the queue had made a specialjourney to meet the man himself and try one of his spuds. i'm from leicester. northamptonshire. just from liverpool. i'm from down in eastbourne. it's a lovely place. so spud man first, and then have a look round. i've just got to see for myself, is it actually real? _ and it is. and that's a bit scary!

it's not the first time you've come here, is it? no, no, about three or four times now. so... he's a local star in this part of town, so, i thought we'd come and support him. you only live once. make the most! i and we do love a spud, we do love a spud. - yeah. i'm half irish, of course i love spuds! curry is getting low — already. one of ben's main reasons for starting the videos was to help give the town a boost and bring more people to tamworth. we can't rely on passing trade in the town any more. we can't rely on word of mouth, because it's just not here any more. so we needed to do something different. so what do locals make of their new celebrity? its cool. — it's the coolest thing ever. there's people queuing up forjacket potatoes, and he's always got smile and he always makes people laugh. it's actually been quite bizarre that we've had many people i to the town. i mean, it's fantastic for the town because we are dying, _ to be perfectly honest. and of course when you're here, you have to try one.
