hello, from the bbc sport centre we start with the seismic news coming out of formula one — we understand that lewis hamilton's shock move from mercedez to ferrari for the 2025 season is going to happen. a number of sources say the deal is done but there is no official confirmation yet from either team. there have been rumours for years linking hamilton to ferrari but nothing's come of it. now — despite signing a new two—year deal with mercedes only last summer — hamilton, at the age of 39, is set to leave the team where he's won six of his seven world titles after next season ends. he's been in the shadow of red bull and max verstappen since losing the drivers championship in 2021, and is expected to take carlos sainz�* seat at ferrari. ourformula one chief writer andrew benson is following developments: it's been a fast—moving situation this morning but it seems like the lewis hamilton moved to ferrari will be confirmed some point in the

not—too—distant future and sources of toilets that deal has been agreed. it is probably the biggest news stories in form of the one for years and a huge shock given, as you said, he signed a mercedes contract for this year and next year only a few months ago. we don't know why he has decided this yet, we don't know whether he would say anything in the near future, whether he would say anything in the nearfuture, but lewis hamilton whether he would say anything in the near future, but lewis hamilton to ferrari in 2025 seems like it would happen. lewis hamilton seems to have been convinced by ferrari and is work with the team principle there before we knew was coming up through the ranks. that that place would guarantee him more success, so the move will be questioned but then his move will be questioned but then his move from mercedes from mclaren was questioned and that turned out to be an inspired move. there are two matches in the premier league tonight with west ham and manchester united both hoping to close what is a growing gap to the champions league places. west ham, without a win

in their last four games, are at home to bournmouth who've lost their last two in the league. whilst wolves are at home to a manchester united side that's currently ninth with just one win in their last five league games. still manager erik ten haag is confident that'll soon change: we miss players in crucial positions and it weakens your team, especially when you have to swap. so every game, almost, and that doesn't help the team in the way of play, and thatis the team in the way of play, and that is also what we have seen. from someone miss understandings. for now, it's keeping the players fit and second is getting them into better form and the third is when we get that, the results will be better. england and india will begin their second test on friday morning, with shoaib bashir set to make his debut for the tourists in visakhapatnam bashir replaces jack leach who's out with a knee injury. the 20 —year—old only has six

first class appearances and his inclusion means england — who are 1—0 up in the series — are once again fielding three front line spinners, whilst james anderson here comes in for mark wood. bashir missed the series opener in hyderabad because of visa problems, but captain ben stokes doesn't believe his absence during the first test will effect him: no, there's no worries or issues for me, the fact he has been away from the group for a period of time in coming back and making his w. just take it all up and it's not like he has forgotten how to bowl a weekend after being home. england have named two debutants for their opening six nations match at the weekend. exeter�*s ethan roots will start at blind—side flanker against italy in rome. fraser dingwall, who plays for northampton, will also win his first cap at inside centre alongside the returning henry slade. that is all this work for now, more later, but back to you matthew. the bank of england has held

interest rates at 5.25% but indicated it is edging towards cutting borrowing costs. at its latest meeting, the bank said it had discussed cutting rates, with inflation — the pace of price rises — set to fall quickly this year. but the bank's governor said it would wait for firm evidence that inflation was under control before doing so. for the first time since the 2020 covid pandemic, one bank policymaker voted for an immediate cut. 0ur economics correspondent andy verity report at this distillery in chatham in kent, every cost has to be carefully managed, from workers wages which across the uk have risen faster than they have for decades, to the precise ingredients of the drinks. the cost of raw materials has dropped and energy prices have plummeted, but they are yet to see the benefit. we are running at 120 miles an hour here in order to make a little bit of progress. and that's the nature of the environment we are in. i think that really relates

to consumer demand. and the availability of people that have discretionary income to spend. so, is the economy still overheating? at the restuarant inside the distillery consumers cannot spend like there used to after 1a interest rate rises in a row. that has removed some of the upward pressure on prices and food inflation slowed from 19%, down to 8%. with retail sales down 3% at the last count, consumers are spending less. business at pubs and restaurants has dropped by 2.1%. in consumer facing services overall, activity is nearly 6% below pre—pandemic levels. but so far, only one member of the committee that sets interest rates at the bank of england thinks the economy has slowed down enough to start cutting interest rates. six voted to stay the same

and two wanted to raise rates for the 15th time. so yes, we have had good news but we have to be more confident inflation will fall all the way back to the 2% target and stay there. and we are not yet at a point where we can lower interest rates. as households who took out cheap fixed—rate mortgages have seen their costs leap, the number of people falling behind in payments has alsojumped. a further 1.5 million face the same trouble this year. many wanted rates to drop and the sooner the better, but in the city, most traders now expect that will have to wait untiljune at the earliest. andy verity, bbc news. the leader of the democratic unionist party sirjeffrey donaldson has written to the speaker of the stormont assembly to confirm that the conditions exist for the return of the northern ireland power—sharing executive and indicated he expects the assembly to sit on saturday. earlier, the house of commons agreed to two of the legislative changes needed to secure the deal

on northern ireland which paves the way to get devolved government back up and running. the changes, which were agreed unopposed, are designed to protect northern ireland's constitutional position in the uk and protect its unfettered access to the uk internal market. here's a flavour of the debate in the house of commons earlier. the secretary of state in reading the command paper, you would maybe think that there's only the dup in northern ireland. there are no other people with any other constitutional preferences. of course, are many people in the north of ireland who want to see a new ireland as soon as possible. so despite what might be in the command paper and what he has said and others have said, does he agree that the good friday agreement is sacrosanct? and it's absolutely clear that if people vote for a constitutional change, that's what happens. it's not up to the british government or anybody else. it's up to the people of ireland, north and south. the difficulty was that the northern

ireland protocol in the eyes of the unionists undermined the principle of consent which is at the heart of the good friday agreement. does he agree with me that these new measures, and the legislation, resets the balance so that it is the principle of consent and the will of the people of northern ireland alone that will determine the future of our country as part of the united kingdom? both the right honourable gentleman and the owneri of the gentlemen are making exactly the same point _ and rightly so. they represent two communities that have governed by consent in the past and the whole point of what we're doing here today to and get - government by consent back up and running in stormont - in the future. live now to peter shirlow, director at the institute of irish studies — he's one of the uk's foremost irish political analysts and academics. peter, welcome to the programme, as we are here and there, all the pieces now in place. what is your

assessment of the significance of this moment? i assessment of the significance of this moment?— assessment of the significance of this moment? i think the important -- | this moment? i think the important -- i know many _ this moment? i think the important -- i know many people _ this moment? i think the important -- i know many people in _ this moment? i think the important -- i know many people in gb know| —— i know many people in gb know little about northern ireland but it's a place that feeds an estimated 10 million people in the uk, but also, both of us as a city, is one of the best performing economies, a world leader in tech and cybersecurity, and what we do know, you heard that spot between the dup and others, is that economic growth in northern island is critical to building the peace process and it has been those type of developments which i imagine will be helpful. this is clearly a critical moment in the sense that it not only returns devolution, but the eu has shown flexible to hear that is is not shown before. what we basically have is some unit is concerned regarding

the baron of northern ireland in the uk, i don't know if you could hear from the sba leader, he is annoyed because they delay so east and west oriented, and the dealer effectively means that when you move goods from great britain to northern ireland, there will effectively be no checks. if you're moving goods to northern ireland, and then you go to the republican of ireland or the eu, 80% of that will not be checked. there will be closer connections between gb and northern ireland in terms of this inter—trade. 0ne gb and northern ireland in terms of this inter—trade. one of the problems in northern ireland was buying goods from britain and that had become costly under brexit, but the most important thing here is that this actually changes previous legislation that led to the assembly being suspended.— being suspended. that's a good explanation. — being suspended. that's a good explanation, both _ being suspended. that's a good explanation, both of— being suspended. that's a good explanation, both of how - being suspended. that's a good explanation, both of how we . being suspended. that's a good | explanation, both of how we got being suspended. that's a good i explanation, both of how we got to this point and how they have attempted to resolve it. how stable do you think it is, this

only place in which you can trade both of the eu and great britain without any factors or controls, thatis without any factors or controls, that is a massive boon. just without any factors or controls, that is a massive boon.- that is a massive boon. just 30 seconds because _ that is a massive boon. just 30 seconds because were - that is a massive boon. just 30 seconds because were out - that is a massive boon. just 30 seconds because were out of i that is a massive boon. just 30 - seconds because were out of time, the significance of actually having a first minister from the sinn the significance of actually having a first ministerfrom the sinn fein, the nationalist party. that a first minister from the sinn fein, the nationalist party.— the nationalist party. that is democracy _ the nationalist party. that is democracy and _ the nationalist party. that is democracy and i _ the nationalist party. that is democracy and i think - the nationalist party. that is democracy and i think one i the nationalist party. that is| democracy and i think one of the nationalist party. that is - democracy and i think one of the things that was claim was that dup would not share power with the sinn fein first minister, clearly that myth has now been broken. the former subpostmaster who led the campaign forjustice in the post office horizon scandal says he'll reject an offer of compensation from the government. alan bates told the daily telegraph the offer was �*offensive' and �*cruel�*. it's a month since an itv drama highlighted the scandal — where hundreds of sub—postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly prosecuted. here's coletta smith. who's next, please? who's next, please ?

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, which is where i was doing the majority of the work. i've got my postbags here. i've got a coffee machine. we sell mobile phone top—ups. but she's struggling to make any money at all. there is no basic salary. we're 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, marlene's 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. 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've borrowed from my mum. i've borrowed from friends to prop it up and it's just... ..i can see no...i

can see no end to it. and no one, no one, you know, would want to buy a post office now. i mean, it'sjust, it's toxic. totally toxic. those concerns are being echoed in post offices up and down the country, with sub—postmasters desperate for head office to hear them and help them. we need something within the next couple of weeks. really? you feel like time is... time's running out. yeah. time's definitely running out. for you to survive as a business? for me to want to. this is sara, 250 miles south in the village of rainhill, on the outskirts of liverpool. she says she's still having problems with the horizon computer system. from day one, when i first took over the branch and the auditor was in with me, there was quite an excessive loss. the post office told us anyone still experiencing problems with horizon should call the branch

support centre and they say they're doing all they can to improve profitability for postmasters. travel another 260 miles further south and we're on the edge of dartmoor, where they're taking a very different approach to make the post office work. this is the ashburton post office van that serves the rural communities of dartmoor. stuart is the postmaster in charge of the van, as well as the main store and lots more too. we're the first post office in the country to have a banking facility, a library facility, and a post office in the same location. he's ploughed in his own money and time to get people through the doors. so, this is the library with the self—service machine. a computer to help people get connected electronically. we're having to extend our trading hours, extend more services, bring the hub in. although we get no revenue for the hub, it drives footfall. hello, becky. like thousands of others, against the odds, stuart is making it work. we are having to build the trust in ashburton post office

and the network greater, because people have lost trust in the post office. while earning very little on struggling high streets, with a computer system they don't trust, postmasters are providing vital community services at a huge personal cost. colletta smith, bbc news. here in the uk, and the labour party is pledging to keep corporation tax at current levels — as part of its strategy for business unveiled today in the city of london. the party chancellor told people labour would freeze the tax on profits at its current level, 25%, the lowest in the region, rachel reeves refuse to say whether she was standing by her commitment to spend £28 billion a year on green investment. she was followed by sir keir starmer, who said the big—name businesses at the event had transformed the labour party since

he took over from jeremy corbyn. this has always been one of the key tasks in my project to return labour to the service of working people. because we know that in the real world working people want success as well as support. they want a government capable of matching their aspirations. understand completely that private enterprise is how we pay our way in the world. so all the hard work that has taken us to this point, it's vindication. a recognition of that guiding belief, notjust that labor could be the party of business, that labour should be that now, also four years on, labour is the party of business. the conservatives denied sir keir�*s claim to lead the part of business — and said labour still hasn't given voters a clear idea of what it

will do to help the economy. here's secretary of state for business and trade, kemi badenoch i think it is really interesting that labour still don't have a plan, they have effectivelyjust re—announced a few things that we are doing. they are still all over the place with their £28 billion figure, u—turning on it, on whether it's an ambition or a plan. they don't have a plan and we do. one of the reasons why we know this is because the bank of england has just today said we are going to hit it inflation target by april. that is a sign that our plan is working. let's go live now to bridget phillipson shadow secretary of state for education. talking about what we heard from labour today, thank you forjoining us here on the programme. respond to that from kemi badenoch, saying you simply haven't laid out a plan to voters about what you would actually do. �* , . , . voters about what you would actually do. �*, ., . voters about what you would actually do. . ., do. it's a bit rich coming from the conservatives _ do. it's a bit rich coming from the conservatives after _ do. it's a bit rich coming from the conservatives after the _ do. it's a bit rich coming from the conservatives after the enormousj conservatives after the enormous damage they have cause to our

gen z boys and men regard feminism as harmful. let's establish that generation z ranks people currently aged between 12 to 27 years old. recent polling by ipsos for kings college london and the global institute for women's leadership says one in five men overall believe it is harder to be a man than a woman today, while one in six say feminism has done more harm than good. the study also says that on every continent in the world, young women are becoming much more liberal than young men, on issues like immigration, gender, and racialjustice. and joining me live now from london is gideon skinner, a research director at ipsos who also worked on the research. we are squeezed for time and i apologise for that, what were you surprised by the findings here in this research? i surprised by the findings here in this research?— surprised by the findings here in this research? i think, as you said, it's something _ this research? i think, as you said, it's something that _ this research? i think, as you said, it's something that has _ this research? i think, as you said, it's something that has been - this research? i think, as you said, it's something that has been seen| this research? i think, as you said, l it's something that has been seen in other countries and other research, this emerging gender divide amongst the younger generations. it's not all negative news. the general attitudes towards progress on gender equality, seven in ten people

thought it was worse to be a woman 20 years ago, now five in ten think it's worse to be a woman, and in 20 years i'm only three in ten people think it will be harder to be a woman month so it's bad news and we shouldn't over egg the differences, but there is an emergent divide among young people might particularly look into the future, where they're coming at it from different perspectives. younger women think they are more positive about the advances made by but nevertheless feel that there is still a lot further to go on that. whereas younger men, maybe they feel they haven't benefited from the advances from feminism quite so much, and they are more worried about what is happening in terms of their own rules and male identity and masculinity in the future. weill. and masculinity in the future. well, i know and masculinity in the future. well, i know people _ and masculinity in the future. well, i know people looking _ and masculinity in the future. well, i know people looking at _ and masculinity in the future. well, i know people looking at your - i know people looking at your survey am i talking about the influences of people like andrew tate and just then reflected on what you found, as

i say, gideon, then reflected on what you found, as isay, gideon, i'm then reflected on what you found, as i say, gideon, i'm sorry we haven't got very long because of our extended interview there from westminster, but is certainly an interesting story, and something we will look on further in the coming hours. that's it from today's verify flight —— verified life, thanks for watching. hello. well, we're into february, just about — traditionally regarded as a very cold month, but of course, these days it can be far from it. in fact, over the next few days, it's going to be exceedingly mild across most of the uk, and on top of that, very windy, too. storm ingunn still wrapping up there across parts of scandinavia, nowhere near as strong as it was, but still producing some gales. to the south of that, we have new weather fronts, and south of that, this area of high pressure building this ridge, and it's allowing the warmer current of air from the southern climes to stream in our direction. so, all the cold air is pushed towards the east and the north of europe, and this pattern's with us here, really, for the next few days.

it's also going to bring that wind, a lot of atlantic cloud. at times, there'll be some rain, such is the case in western parts of scotland — quite damp here, a bit of drizzle around western coast. and these are morning temperatures — 7 degrees in london, 10—11 for some of our northern towns and cities. so, a mild start to friday now, perhaps won't feel quite as mild as it could. it's because the wind will be pretty strong tomorrow, particularly gusty around some of these north western coast of scotland, also to the east of the pennines — 40—50 mph gusts. but on the thermometer with a bit of brightness, perhaps even 15 expected across aberdeenshire. now, the same pattern continues into friday and indeed the weekend, friday, saturday, sunday, with high pressure to the south and big loads traversing to the north of us. we've got a pressure gradient, so those strong winds blowing across the uk, and they frequently push in a lot of cloud and at times some rain. i think an incursion of slightly colder weather into northern scotland on saturday, so temperatures 6—7 degrees and maybe some wintry showers to the very far north of the uk.

and then, the rest of the weekend and into monday, it's the same — high to the south, low to the north, quite strong winds blowing across the uk and the thicker cloud being pushed in by that west south—westerly. i think it'll be damp in northern ireland on sunday, certainly around western coasts of scotland, the irish sea, too, but mild —10—14 celsius. and this pattern remains very stable across many parts of the uk, mild and cloudy. you can see 1a in london at times, a little bit cooler, but only at times in the north of the country. that's it from me. bye—bye.
