our correspondent, jo black, is in essex. yes, jo black, is in essex. it is two days on and as you can yes, it is two days on and as you can see there is a heavy police presence on lots of police activity going on. and that you can imagine, the neighbours here injaywick are still affected by what happened on saturday afternoon. some said they heard screams and some have been impacted and some try to save aston martin, but sadly she couldn't be rescued. there were a report from the police is said some puppies had been removed into veterinary care and they are part of the investigation.— and they are part of the investigation. and they are part of the investiuation. ., ., investigation. has to martin also grandmother _ investigation. has to martin also grandmother visiting _ investigation. has to martin also grandmother visiting her - investigation. has to martin also i grandmother visiting her grandson but what caused two dogs to attack and kill her still to be examined by detectives. essex police said the breed of dogs just to established. academic days. her daughter believes

they were xl bullies which have been recently been banned in england and wales. people can still own this type of dog but the right certificate of exemption and insurance needs to be in place. it is thought there were six puppies and two adult dogs in the property and two adult dogs in the property and esther martin had been advised to use a broom if they were misbehaving.— to use a broom if they were misbehaving. to use a broom if they were misbehavina. ., , misbehaving. the owner left my mum in the property _ misbehaving. the owner left my mum in the property with — misbehaving. the owner left my mum in the property with his _ misbehaving. the owner left my mum in the property with his young - misbehaving. the owner left my mum in the property with his young son. i in the property with his young son. he told my mum if the party started fighting to waive the broom in there because then the puppies will play with the broom. and it was at that point the adult dogs attacked my mum and my nephew run out screaming for hel. , , and my nephew run out screaming for hel _ , , ., . and my nephew run out screaming for hel. ,, .,. and my nephew run out screaming for help. essex police has commended its officers who entered _ help. essex police has commended its officers who entered the _ help. essex police has commended its officers who entered the house - help. essex police has commended its officers who entered the house on - officers who entered the house on saturday afternoon. and members of the public who also showed extraordinary bravery trying to

chose to act. we know during the covid lockdown there had been a big surge in xl breeding and we had for many experts last week's concerned many experts last week's concerned many of the dogs being bred at that time were bred for their size and how fierce they were not by their nature or whether they make good pets to have around the home. the government then acted, banning the dogs but it did allow for exemptions if people got their dogs neutered for example and if they kept them on a lead and muzzled and if they had been fully insured. and they were on a lead when out in public. although, not necessarily in a private space. that was an option taken by 35,000 dogs or on behalf of 35,000 dogs. although there were questions raised about the true figure with the rspca telling us it has estimated a0 to 50,000 of the xl —type dogs were out there. the issue is, this is not a breed of dog so it is not able to be tested by dna, it has to be done by

size and physical attribute. that raises a lot of questions about whether this is possible and how easy it is to police it.— easy it is to police it. thank you very much- _ rishi sunak is meeting political leaders in northern ireland this morning, as he celebrates the return of a power—sharing government at stormont. the executive was formed on saturday, ending two years of political stalemate. it will now begin meetings with the aim of trying to manage northern ireland's finances. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, reports. at daybreak, rishi sunak arrived at the plate where a new political dawn has apparently come. the speaker of the stormont assembly, edwin poots, showed the prime minister around the chamber and this week, locally elected politicians will once again be able to debate legislation after an absence of almost two years. it is an historic and important day for the country, because northern ireland politicians are back in charge of making decisions on behalf

of their people, which is exactly how they should be. 0ur of their people, which is exactly how they should be. our new deal gives them a funding and more powers than they have ever had so they can deliver for families and businesses across northern ireland. that is what everyone's priority is now. rishi sunak has come to stormont to put his stamp on what he will regard as a significant achievement of his time in downing street. the parties of the devolved government have told him that for things to work out well, he will have to give them more money. london has already sent an extra £3.3 billion to the coalition led by the first and deputy first minister is. michelle 0'neill of sinn fein and emma little pengelly from the democratic union is. while they carried out the diplomatic formalities, others were putting out the message. we formalities, others were putting out the message-— the message. we need to press forward with — the message. we need to press forward with reform _ the message. we need to press forward with reform of - the message. we need to press forward with reform of our - the message. we need to press. forward with reform of our health service, invest in our education system, grow our economy, provide childcare, support for working families in northern ireland. so

funding package is fair and generous. rishi sunak was asked by reporters what he made about the fact northern ireland has its first ever nationalist irish first minister, but he said it wasn't a morning to be looking at constitutional questions, it was a time to focus on how the new devolved governments could deliver for the people of northern ireland and the new ministers will be meeting formally to discuss policy this afternoon. chris, thank you. ian lavender, the actor known to millions as private pike in dad's army, has died at the age of 77. he was the last surviving member of the main cast of the hit tv comedy. david sillito looks back at his life. # who do you think you are kidding, mr hitler? sirens. ah, going home, are they? july, 1968 and episode one of dad's army. 0h, byjove these things a heavy. oh, that's the sun being wet, sir. if you'd waited for the tide to go out, it would have been twice as easy. ian lavender, a 22—year—old actor from birmingham, was the fresh new face amongst a cast

of comic veterans. you know, these were people i'd be watching on the screen, on big screen, small screen, in the theater. and suddenly i was working with them. terrifying. what's that supposed to be, boy? the character was pike, the mummy�*s boy, who never quite twigged that sergeant wilson, his uncle arthur, may have been more than just an uncle. what's your name, lad? well, you should know by now, you've been a friend of my mum's since before i was born. laughter. and over the next nine years, he helped create a comedy classic that was still being shown more than a0 years later. after his years with the walmington—on—sea home guard, he appeared in comedies such as yes, minister. it's well known that social problems increase to occupy the total number of social workers available to deal with it. laughter. as well as roles in film and theatre and — albert square... what you need is to relax.

..as derek harkinson in eastenders. breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. you stupid boy. laughter. you stupid boy. but even decades later, fans would still call out... you stupid boy. ..the old catchphrase. walmington—on—sea... just a moment. # whistle while you work. # hilter is a twerp... # he's half balmy, so is his army. # whistle while you... your name will also go on the list. laugher. don't tell him. ian lavender, the last member of the famous platoon. the actor, ian lavender, who's died at the age of 77. us secretary of state antony blinken is on his way for more talks in the middle east. it comes as the us says it has carried out more strikes against houthi missile sites in yemen — following continued

attacks by the iran—backed group on military and commercial ships in the red sea. let's get more from our correspondent, hugo bachega, who's in baghdad for us. he will be hoping to make some progress when he arrives? exactly, and this visit _ progress when he arrives? exactly, and this visit by _ progress when he arrives? exactly, and this visit by antony _ progress when he arrives? exactly, and this visit by antony blinken - and this visit by antony blinken comes amid growing american involvement in what is happening in the middle east. just over the weekend the us hit iranian interests in iraq and in syria. also the houthis is in yemen, who are also supported by iran. american officials are saying these attacks are going to continue so the focus has been on enron and so far the action from iran and its proxies has been muted. so i think this is an indication that i ran might have decided to de—escalate rather than retaliate. antony blinken has two goes here with this latest visit to try to secure the release of more hostages who are being held in gaza and also a pause in hostilities that

could allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians in gaza. 0bviously, these are difficult negotiations, talks between hamas and israel continue, but i think the hope is any kind of pause in the war in gaza could help reduce tensions all across the region.— could help reduce tensions all across the region. could help reduce tensions all across the reuion. :, ., ,, the time is 13:00. our top story this afternoon: 39—year—old ashley warren is bailed, after being held on suspicion of dangerous dog offences, following the death of 68—year—old esther martin in a dog attack. and smash, bang, wallop!, as scientists in switzerland submit proposals for an even bigger super collider, which could revolutionise physics. coming up on bbc news: neil warnock has been appointed as aberdeen's new interim manager until the end of the season. the 75—year—old will take charge of their match against rangers this weekend. it's his 17th different club

when addy started speaking and calling "daddy", for me, nothing better. apparently fit and well when he died, 15 months ago. he just laid face—down and ijust tried to wake him up. and then, obviously, just the worst thing that could ever happen happened. and going to the hospital and not coming home with your child is just the worst pain that you could ever feel. it'sjust like, i didn't want to leave him. it was classed as sudden unexplained death in childhood, or sudc. it happens about once a week in the uk. no symptoms, warnings or explanation. if you look through his records... the inquest is coming up and gavin's father—in—law has come over to help him prepare. even in layman's terms... the dacres should be getting some help from an nhs key worker, according to government guidelines, but the family feel they've

not had enough support. ijust want to scream, want to get. hold of somebody and say, "please help them get some answers". sheffield children's nhs trust was responsible for supporting gavin and jodie. it says it recognises there are areas for improvement in bereavement support and it's undertaken a thorough review to do this. it's coming up to christmas, but there are no decorations here. last christmas was horrible. this christmas will be the same. i do not want to celebrate without my son. it'sjust, like, a very difficult time. yeah, not feeling too great at the minute. can't move on? yeah, the most precious thing that you had in your life is gone and you just don't know why that is. smashing lad. he were marvellous. we're never really going to be able l to grieve properly till we actuallyl know why addy died. why a two—year—old child

who were full of beans i was there at night and then gone in the morning. - early january. and it's an important evening for gavin and jody. they're meeting the pathologist, professor marta cohen, who examined addy after he died. so he was a beautiful well look after child. | then a fear the parents have carried for more than a year. you don't think that we could have missed anything? this is not your fault. i want you to think. that he didn't suffer. it's nothing you could have done to avoid. l thank you. it's a reassurance that matters to the family. addy�*s inquest sudc, a verdict and a death that leaves families with no explanation. richard bilton, bbc news. you can watch panorama's sudden child deaths: the search for answers on bbc iplayer now and on bbc one at 8pm.

this is one of the detectors that discovered the higgs 12 years ago. it was an incredible scientific achievement. but the lhc was built to do much more than that. it was supposed to discover brand—new particles that would change the theory of physics. it hasn't. so, in that sense, it's failed. and that's why they need a larger machine. the plan is to build what's called the fcc, the future circular collider, next to the existing accelerator. it'll be at least twice as deep and measure nearly 91 kilometres. that's around 56 miles. inside, particles will travel much further than they currently do. their pulse, by an electric field and stronger magnets, which make the particles collide with much greater force and, hopefully, revealing far more. there are so many outstanding

questions in fundamental physics today and in our knowledge of the universe, its structure and its evolution, for which, we have no answer. and so, we need more powerful instruments to be able to address those questions. thousands of scientists here are hunting for the tiny particles that are contained in the atoms that make up the world around us. professor mitesh patel has spent his entire professional life searching for them. i think for me, this is really about exploration. to be able to look for something genuinely new. if you're going to go and explore the unknown then, of course, you don't know what you're going to find and you can't guarantee a particular outcome, but that doesn't mean that it's not important for us to look. this enormous underground lab lies hidden away beneath the swiss french alps. the plan is to stretch it even further, so detailed environmental assessments are being carried out on the impact to the community.

translation: we care a lot about the environment. - it's very important. especially excavating rocks, or water can be some concern. so we have a lot of questions to cern and we expect, of course, cern to address all these questions. the first stage of the new collider won't be fully operational until 20a5. and if it gets the go—ahead, there'll be huge environmental, technological and scientific challenges to overcome. and then there's the cost — initially, around £12 billion. the researchers here feel that they're within reach of finding new particles that really make the universe tick. one more heave, they say, and they could make one of the biggest breakthroughs of all time. pallab ghosh, bbc news, cern. the government's africa minister, andrew mitchell, says there's "every danger" of famine in ethiopia, unless action is taken to prevent it. political leaders in the region said

the world was ignoring a worsening humanitarian crisis, triggered by war and drought. mr mitchell is visiting the country to promise british aid worth about $125 million, to help mothers and their babies receive health care. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports now from the tigray region, in northern ethiopia. once again, hunger is stalking ethiopia. the babies in this hospital, in the northern tigray region, are all acutely malnourished. their mothers, little better. tsega is 23. herfour—month—old son has been malnourished since birth. her family's crops failed and there was no food to be had. "even when i was pregnant, i was not eating a balanced diet," she said. "i was not producing enough breast milk. that's why the baby has developed malnutrition. ijust didn't have

enough to eat at home." we travelled north, across the parched ethiopian highlands that have suffered from successive droughts that many attribute to climate change. there, with the africa minister andrew mitchell, we visited a clinic where anxious mothers queue to get their children assessed for malnutrition. this is a largely forgotten crisis. it's hard for the media to get here, fighting makes some areas inaccessible for charities, and the world's attention is elsewhere. but once again, women are queuing up with their children, who are hungry, some are starving, desperately in need of help. these are for children... mr mitchell promised £100 million more in uk aid, but he said the international community had to do more. there is clearly a risk of famine if we don't now take action, and there are serious indicators

of the danger of famine. but if you ask me, "is there a famine taking place now in ethiopia?", i say no and we have the power to stop it. but is it a famine? aid workers are cautious. regional leaders have no doubts. well, one thing i know is that thousands of people who would otherwise have been able to feed themselves are not in a position to feed themselves and they are succumbing to death because of starvation. whether you call it famine, or a risk of famine, or a potential famine, for me, is purely academic. what transpired in 1985, for example, would pale in comparison. dawn, and as the sun breaks - through the piercing chill of night on the plain outside korum,| it lights up a biblical famine. this is what he's talking about. the famines of the mid—1980s, reported so powerfully by michael buerk for the bbc. but the government in ethiopia disputes such comparisons, saying the country is a victim of climate change. there is a drought. no famine.

the government is responding very seriously but, at the same time, we call all the stakeholders to do their share. the problem is that about a million people in tigray are internal refugees, living in camps like these, with little hope of returning to homes still occupied by armies. in ethiopia, you have several overlapping crises at a time. so we have drought, people recovering from a two—year conflict, rising inflation, an upsurge in the cases of disease. without more support, the future for these children could be bleak. james landale, bbc news, in northern ethiopia. women's football is enjoying a surge in popularity, but the chelsea manager emma hayes says the low number of female coaches is a "massive issue", and she's urging the game to come up with more creative ways to tackle it. she is one of only fourfemale managers in the women's super league and has been speaking

to our sports editor, dan roan. she's among the most successful coaches in world football, but having turned chelsea into the dominant force in the english game, trailblazing manager emma hayes will move to the international arena at the end of the season. first, however, she wants even more silverware. how much would it mean to you to go out on the high of winning a fifth successive title, or helping chelsea win their first—ever champions league? yeah, i mean, it'd be incredible. i think to keep winning like we have done for so many years is...a real challenge in itself. but to do it in the backdrop, knowing that there's change coming at the end of the year would be a real credit and a testament to the players to be able to stay focused, knowing there is going to be a big transition. against musovic. oh, and she's put it over the top! four—times world cup winners, the us national women's team

under—performed in last year's tournament and turned to hayes to restore them to former glories — making the londoner the game's highest—paid female coach. and her first major tournament in the newjob will be this summer's paris 0lympics. can you believe what lies in front of you? no! but i will, of course i'll be excited. it'll be a massive, proud moment for me and my family. and, you know, come the summer, i'm sure i'll pinch myself a few times, cos it's the stuff that dreams are made of. despite a surge in playing numbers in recent years, hayes is one of only four female coaches in the women's super league, and one ofjust 21 across the whole country with a pro licence. she's also an ambassador for fun football — a programme tackling under—representation in the sport. i think it's a massive issue, and i think we've got a lot of work to do to close that gap. the cost of it, as a starting point, it's about £10,000 to do a pro licence. and the wages in the women's game are, you know, insignificant compared to the men's game. and then, most importantly,

getting clubs to be in position so that they have minimum standards in place to hire women into the game, albeit at assistant—coach or head—coaching level. but doing that is a challenge. it'sjames! and with her chelsea team top of the league and chasing four trophies, hayes has become a crucial source of inspiration to those who want to follow in her footsteps, as she prepares to take up one of the highest—profile roles in us sport. dan roan, bbc news. taylor swift has made history at the grammys overnight, as she became the first artist to win album of the year for the fourth time — beating the likes of stevie wonder and frank sinatra, who each won it three times. it was also a big night for other female performers, with miley cyrus and billie eilish both taking home top prizes. 0ur correspondent emma vardy was in los angeles, on the red carpet, and sent this report. it's the 66th annual grammy awards and, tonight, we're coming to you live from the city of los angeles, where the local population has just

survived the unthinkable — rain! as a storm battered la, there was shelter for the stars on the red carpet. while inside the arena, the awards rained down for female artists. ijust won my first grammy! miley cyrus picked up two grammys, giving the crowd a little more than they bargained for. thank you all so much. i don't think i forgot anyone, but i might have forgotten underwear. bye. laughter billie eilish! and the barbie movie took home a win tonight, with billie eilish given song of the year for her hit from the film's soundtrack. # i used to float # now i just fall down # i used to know...# taylor swift, for midnights. cheering and applause but it's taylor swift who keeps on breaking records, and as she made history by becoming the only artist to win best album four times, fans were in for a much—anticipated announcement.

my brand—new album... cheering and applause ..comes out april 19th. cue, swiftie hysteria. a strong showing for women in the big categories is a significant moment for the grammys, which has faced criticism for overlooking some female artists in the past. and this year is a memorable one forfemale artists across several generations. # moons and junes. ..# this was a moment many fans never thought they'd see — joni mitchell performing for the first time at the grammys, at 80 years old. # ..the dizzy dancing way that you feel. ..# a remarkable comeback, after almost losing her life to a brain aneurysm. with major wins and powerful performances, this was a grammys in which women were well and truly centre stage. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett.

thanks very much. we've got a
