good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. king charles is to step back from public duties as he begins treatment for cancer. he will continue with his consitutional role as head of state including his regular meetings with the prime minister. prince william is expected to take on some of the king's public work and prince harry is due to fly back to the uk in the coming days. also this morning. a man has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of assisting the clapham chemical attacker. i'd say give it everything, but also just know how difficult it is. i've been catching up with trent alexander—arnold on the latest stage in his plans to support young academy players who've been let go by their clubs.

are you waiting for the final cost of living payment? eight million households will receive just under £300 from today. but is it enough for those who need it most? i take a look. morning. today we have a band of heavy rain moving out of southern scotland and northern ireland across parts of england and wales, ahead of it cloudy, breezy and mild, behind it, pressure, a few wintry showers and not as windy. all of the details later. it's tuesday 6th february. king charles will step back from some of his royal duties as he begins his treatment for cancer. buckingham palace announced the king's diagnosis, and said while it's not prostate cancer, it was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. charities have praised the king's openness about his health. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this was the last time we saw

the king in public — on sunday, going to church with queen camilla on the sandringham estate in norfolk. just 17 months into his reign, he now faces a serious health challenge. just over a week ago, the king left this private hospital in central london, where he'd spent three nights being treated for an enlarged prostate. we now know, during his stay here, cancer was discovered. in a statement, buckingham palace said... although open about his diagnosis, the type of cancer the king has will be kept private, as will the nature of his treatment.

all of his public engagements have been cancelled. his son, the duke of sussex, is expected to visit him this week, travelling to the uk from his home in california to see his father, who contacted prince harry personally with news of the diagnosis. it is the first time harry has seen the king since the coronation. in times of crisis, families do come together, and i think everyone will be happy to see that. i think, you know, there is a sort of sense of business as usual going on — that's very much a message that sort of the palace is trying to put out. but if, along the way, we can see some bridges being built, then that's got to be a good thing. but it will now be down to other working members of the royalfamily to pick up some of the king's work. his wife, queen camilla, has done a number of her own engagements in recent weeks,

but may now find herself doing some of her husband's duties, too. it will be the same for the king's son, the prince of wales, who himself has been away from royal engagements for almost a month following his wife's stay in hospital after surgery. he is due to return to public duty tomorrow in windsor and london. this is going to be a testing time for the king and the wider royal family, as they balance personal, private challenges with the need to continue with public duties. daniela relph, bbc news. charlotte gallagher is outside buckingham palace for us now. charlotte, the reign of king charles enters a new phase with this diagnosis. enters a new phase with this diagnosis-— enters a new phase with this diaunosis. , ~ ., ., diagnosis. yes, jon. and although the is pausing _

morning, henry. what has the reaction been from westminster? idisarm reaction been from westminster? warm wishes from every _ reaction been from westminster? warm wishes from every part _ reaction been from westminster? warm wishes from every part of— reaction been from westminster? warm wishes from every part of the _ wishes from every part of the political spectrum, and of course, every corner of the united kingdom and the world. very soon after the news was announced yesterday, rishi sunak said he knew the whole country would be hoping for a swift recovery, sir keir starmer said that he was wishing the king all the very best for his recovery, and president biden of the united states said that he was concerned about the king and he was concerned about the king and he would be talking to him soon, god willing. it's worth noting this is an election year which means slightly more political duties for the king, it is for the king to formally dissolve parliament which triggers a general election, and at the end of the election that king will invite someone to form a government, both rishi sunak and sir keir starmer will be hoping it's them. before all of that, everyone here in westminster is just sending their king their warmest wishes.

it was just over a week ago that king charles underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate, news that he'd shared to raise awareness. now he's being praised for sharing his cancer diagnosis too. we're nowjoined by our health correspondent dominic hughes. dom, there are some things we know, there are some things we don't. just explain. there are some things we don't. just exlain. ., ., ., , , explain. yeah, for obvious reasons i think the precise _ explain. yeah, for obvious reasons i think the precise details _ explain. yeah, for obvious reasons i think the precise details of - explain. yeah, for obvious reasons i think the precise details of what - think the precise details of what kind of cancer it is have been withheld. what we do know is that cancer is a disease that will affect one in two of all of us throughout our lifetimes and it is prominently a disease of old age. a third of all cases are in people who are over the age of 75, the king is 75. there are 200 different types of cancer, the most comment are bowel, prostate, breast and lung and each is diagnosed and treated depending on

where it is. treatment options are the same for everybody, pretty much, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, depending on the kind of cancer it is. diagnosis of cancer is daunting for anyone but charities have said that they welcome the king being so open for this because it helps other people think about their own situations and it's a reminder that an early diagnosis can lead to a much better outcome. outcome options and options for treatment are much greater and are much more successful outcome is likely. find greater and are much more successful outcome is likely.— outcome is likely. and it changes the conversation, _ outcome is likely. and it changes the conversation, we _ outcome is likely. and it changes the conversation, we are - outcome is likely. and it changes the conversation, we are all- outcome is likely. and it changes i the conversation, we are all talking about it. ~ , , the conversation, we are all talking about it._ dominic, - the conversation, we are all talking | about it._ dominic, thank about it. absolutely. dominic, thank ou ve about it. absolutely. dominic, thank you very much _ about it. absolutely. dominic, thank you very much indeed. _ police have arrested and bailed a 22—year—old man on suspicion of assisting the alleged clapham chemical attacker abdul ezedi. he has been on the run since a woman and her two young daughters were injured in south london last wednesday. our home editor mark easton has the latest. a new picture of the afghan refugee

who fled the scene of the clapham corrosive chemical attack. abdul shakoor ezedi, identified on london's southwark bridge at 9.50pm on wednesday night. but since then, nothing. ezedi's car recovered from the scene has been minutely examined by a forensics team inside the vehicle. inside the vehicle, officers found ezedi's mobile phone, but while that helps provide evidence, it also means police are much more reliant on cctv footage to track their target's movements. it takes a long time to track cctv because you have to work out which way he's gone. hundreds and hundreds of hours of cctv painstakingly gone through. we've got support and assistance from our counter—terrorism fugitive teams who are experts in this, along with our experts in specialist crime. so we are tracking him down and we will continue to do so. will you get him? i'm as confident as i can be, mark, that we will, yes. police are trying to work out the relationship between ezedi

and the woman he attacked. she suffered serious burns from a powerful, corrosive alkali. still critically ill in hospital, unable to communicate, she has life—changing injuries to her face and is at risk of losing sight in her right eye. the two children are now out of hospital and being cared for, but the trail of their attacker has gone cold. in one of the most surveilled cities in the world, a man with a serious facial injury whose picture's been all over the media and apparently without access to a mobile phone or cash, well, he's simply vanished. a 22—year—old has been arrested on suspicion of helping ezedi evade capture. but the met�*s specialist manhunt team says if he's alive and being supported, it could be some time before they finally get their man. mark easton, bbc news, scotland yard. a year after the devastating earthquakes that hit southern turkey and northern syria, the living conditions for those who survived

are still difficult and dangerous. more than 56,000 people were killed and millions were displaced. one year on, many families are still living in tents and containers, while children are going to makeshift schools. a british cargo ship has been attacked in the red sea overnight. the vessel was positioned off the west coast of yemen when it was hitjust after midnight. no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. it comes following weeks of attacks on vessels in the red sea by iranian—backed group, the houthis. the us secretary of state antony blinken will travel to egypt today in an attempt to help secure a pause in the fighting in gaza and facilitate peace talks. this visit will mark mr blinken's fifth trip to the region since the hamas attacks in israel on 7th october last year. the government has published its long—awaited disability action plan with 32 measures aimed at improving the lives of disabled people. they include more help for guide dog owners and resources to help councils

create accessible playgrounds. our disability correspondent nikki fox has the story. like it! i'm not quite sure how much i like it. this isn'tjust any playground. it's a brand new, fully accessible, inclusive playground in north london. with funding from barnet council, mums natalie and deborah also raised money to get this project off the ground. and deborah knows just how hard it is to find these kinds of places for young people like her son zack. to be sitting here now with it existing, and i can now when i'm thinking at the weekends, what am i going to do with him? i can come to the park here, that's a joy. and to see other people in the same way, happily coming in, children of all abilities playing together, it's a marvellous thing and sadly this shouldn't be a marvellous thing. thisjust should be. for winnie, it opens up a whole new world. we could get winnie's mainstream kindergarten friends and her disability playgroup friends

all together and have them all play here for a birthday party for her and no problems. it's playgrounds like this the government wants to see more of. it really will matter in disabled people's daily lives, but it's one pillar of a huge body of work which will make sure this country is the best place to be a disabled person. here in hertfordshire, the purple all stars are practising their next routine. this group of people with learning disabilities are passionate about helping others understand how to look after their health. and it's important because people with a learning disability are more likely to die from avoidable causes. access by doctors who look after my health. they know what they want the action plan to tackle. we can be equal and together in our community. get myself a job, i need to try and build more confidence in myself to try like dealing with public. working out how much we've got to spend and how much is coming in and how much is coming out.

i want everyone to be inclusive and look at us differently. - you know, like, we i are like anyone else. these are just some of the issues why charities want to see a more drastic plan. for disabled people who are going through a lot of challenges at the moment, whether that's a cost of living crisis, difficulties in employment, crippling social care charges, we wanted to see something a bit more transformational. the government says it wants to tackle the barriers that prevent people from getting on in life. and labour has announced plans which would ensure equal pay for disabled people. nikki fox, bbc news. the fossil of a unique flying reptile has been discovered on the isle of skye. its wings, shoulders, legs and backbone were found in a rock on a beach, and it is thought to have lived around nearly 170 million years ago.

and brighter conditions. the results are going to be some snow in the forecast, notjust the day but overnight wednesday into thursday. this is the rain sinking south, it has been ensconced across northern and western scotland, parts of western scotland since the early hours of sunday seeing 150 millimetres of rainfall, that rain is still heavy and it will move out of southern scotland and northern ireland and across england and wales. ahead of it it is going to be fairly cloudy, blustery but mild, we have got clearer skies behind it and wintry showers, those in the highlands increasingly falling at lower levels through the day. in addition we have got an area of low pressure scooting across the north of scotland. that's likely to bring significant snowfall across shetland and with strong to gale full swims drifting and blowing snow. —— strong to gale force winds. ahead of the rain band in the south we are in the

mild airwith 12 or13. rain band in the south we are in the mild air with 12 or 13. the rain will continue to clear all but the far south—west and the channel islands through the night. clearer skies following behind. then another system coming south across scotland bringing some snow, even at lower levels, some of that getting into northern ireland. first thing you are going to have perhaps two centimetres of snow in parts of the central lowlands. it will be called overnight, the risk of ice and widespread frost in the north, temperatures lower in the south but higher in the south—west where we have the cloud. and more snow to come from the south overnight wednesday into thursday. wednesday into thursday. we will get more details later, thank you for now, carol. from today, vulnerable households across the uk will start receiving their third and final cost of living payment. nina's here with the details.

there have been questions raised over the payments. the work and pensions committee said in november that the money provided only a temporary reprieve for some, and may have been better spent on increasing benefits. charities are urging the government to consider further support to help people like 77—year—old pensioner, david who lives in nottingham and relies on his cost of living payment. i'm having to budget carefully for food, also for clothes. i have to make do with the minimum. i'm still able to prepare my own meals. if i was obliged to ask somebody to help me with that aspect, you know, to pay for home care and so on, i think i really would struggle. i had hoped that my situation was going to be a bit better. but with inflation and so on, things costing more, that's one of the big problems, and the fact that my income hasn't increased.

that means there is not very much room for manoeuvre. it's a concern. i often wonder how i will manage in the long term. the government has said it will continue to support vulnerable people with the cost of living from this april by introducing measure like a 6.7% rise in benefits line with inflation, maintaining the triple lock and increasing the state pension by 8.5%. but we are now exactly one month away from the spring budget and at that point there will now be undoubtedly pressure mounting on the chancellor to bring in more long lasting support for people like david who needs the boost to the most. . ~ david who needs the boost to the most. ., ~ , ., he became a household name in the �*80s with his starring role in back to the future, but shortly after the final film in the trilogy was released, michaelj fox received a devastating diagnosis of parkinson's disease.

the actor only retired a few years ago because of his declining health. but now, he's in the spotlight again, up for a bafta for his documentary all about his life. our reporter tom brook has been to meet him. i was big. i was bigger than bubble gum. the story of me, take two. michaelj fox has been picking up awards and doing interviews to support the documentary in which he appears. michael, good to meet you. how are you? the documentary is called still: a michaelj fox movie, which chronicles his life, his rise to major tv and film stardom in the 1980s, and his life after being diagnosed with parkinson's disease. i woke up and i noticed my pinky. parkinson's disease. it's not a portrait of a man full of self—pity. quite the contrary. i have parkinson's. i struggle with it. it's hard. it's annoying. it's more than annoying, but it can be devastating for some people. the story is about resiliency and about hope.

an incurable optimist meets an incurable disease. michaelj fox! i don't believe this. this is great. in 1989, two years before his parkinson's disease diagnosis, michaelj fox was on top of the world, a major tv and movie star. his huge following, with fans around the world, is quite phenomenal... i met him in california at the time when he was shooting back to the future 2. in the documentary, his far—reaching success is presented as an epic moment before profound change. i can't explain to you how huge an explosion it was. big thing. and then shortly after, i got married, my father passed away, my son was born and i was diagnosed. and so, just crossed the threshold into adulthood and into challenges that i didn't anticipate. you were diagnosed with parkinson's disease, and you didn't reveal it publicly for quite some time, did you? i didn't know what it was going to do, i didn't know how

it was going to manifest itself. and i didn't know what to expect. and no—one could really tell me what to expect. michaelj fox eventually became a big advocate for finding a cure for parkinson's, launching a foundation which has raised substantial sums for research. his optimism is very apparent in the documentary. to deny that part of me that wants to continue to go on and do things is to quit. i won't accept that. he sees his disease as giving him the opportunity to do something for others. i would say it's a gift, and people look at me and say, it's a gift that keeps on taking, but it's a gift. and it opened me up to a whole different... i realised i had to turn it around and turn it into something and make it some positive thing that affected other people in a positive way. and so i started the foundation, but it took me a long time to get there. the documentary isn'tjust

a chronicle of a man who's fought the physical effects of a debilitating disease. it's as much a portrait of psychological triumph to show, as michaelj fox puts it, that a devastating diagnosis may not necessarily be the ending, but the advent of a new beginning. who would have thought when we watched him all those years ago, he would go on to be such an incredible campaigner, changing lives. i remember going into an athena poster shopin remember going into an athena poster shop in the 19805 in chester, basically every picture on sale was michaelj fox, he was huge. basically every picture on sale was michael] fox, he was huge. michaelj fox, he was huge. yeah. absolutely — michaelj fox, he was huge. yeah. absolutely huge. _ michaelj fox, he was huge. yeah. absolutely huge. and _ michaelj fox, he was huge. yeah. absolutely huge. and still- michaelj fox, he was huge. yeah. absolutely huge. and still using i absolutely huge. and still using that power and celebrity to have his 5ay. still, a michaelj fox movie is available to stream on apple tv. at the age of 102, you would expect to be taking it easy — but not forjack hemming5, who ha5ju5t achieved his

lifelong dream of piloting a spitfire. the former raf 5quadron leader is now one of the oldest people to take to the skies in the historic aircraft, and it was all for a cause close to his heart. kirsteen o'sullivan reports. at 102, there aren't many firsts left forjack hemming5, but today he's about to pilot a spitfire, a dream unrealised until now. jack was a 5quadron leader in the royal air force during the war and has long been an admirer of the aircraft. if the spitfire and the hurricane had not succeeded in overcoming the luftwaffe, there would have been an invasion and britain would have become german. after the war, jack co—founded the humanitarian charity mi55ion aviation fellowship, which aims to help people in some of the world's most remote locations. felt very strongly, u5e airplanes

for good where people really needed help with transport. whether it's to get people to hospital, or get doctors to people, or education. jack is still working hard for the charity he loves. today's flight is all about raising awareness and vital funding. after plenty of waiting, the weather was right and it was time to take to the skies. just the idea of, you're sitting there at the controls, pair of wings there, and then you go up and do what the birds do. after taking the controls for a time, jack then relaxe5 as the pilot performs victory rolls. not one... not two...

but three! and when you've waited this long to fly in a spitfire, it would be rude not to make the most of it. after 20 minutes soaring like a bird over kent, it was time to land and reflect. we were flying about 210 knot5, perhap5 that's fa5ter than i normally used to fly in my air force day5. to be honest, it felt a bit ru5ty. not surprising as i am rusty! what was that like for you up there together? oh, it's an absolute pleasure to fly the the veterans and someone like jack for all he's done. and i don't think he's lost his touch. so how do you round off a day like this? i guess a bit of a beverage of some sort might come in!

i dare say a bit of a beverage of some sort might come in! and very well deserved too. kirsteen o'sullivan, bbc news. what a day forjack. never give up on our what a day forjack. never give up on your dream. — what a day forjack. never give up on your dream, keep _ what a day forjack. never give up on your dream, keep going. i what a day forjack. never give up on your dream, keep going. he i what a day forjack. never give up| on your dream, keep going. he will want to do — on your dream, keep going. he will want to do it _ on your dream, keep going. he will want to do it again _ on your dream, keep going. he will want to do it again now! _ on your dream, keep going. he will want to do it again now! much i on your dream, keep going. he will| want to do it again now! much more coming up on the programme in the next half an hour. we will bring you the very latest on the situation about the king, the news announced last night, we are talking to an oncologist in a few minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. police investigating the attack u5ing corro5ives in clapham say they've found the mobile phone of the suspect. a nationwide manhunt�*s now in its sixth day for abdul shokoor ezedi after the attack on a mother and her two daughters near clapham common on wednesday. police say she may have lost sight in one eye.

yesterday a man was arrested for assisting an offender and then bailed. residents in south london are being threatened with eviction by lambeth council for failing to pay their heating bills. the tenants were under a communal heating agreement to keep their payments at a set amount. but last year tenants were told fuel prices were too high for the agreement to be kept and rates rose sharply. they now face losing their tenancy if they cant pay up. i don't believe they can evict someone for not being able to pay their heating. because if you weren't on a heat network, and you weren't paying lambeth for your heating, you'd be paying british gas or whoever, british gas cannot evict you because you can't afford to pay your heating. they may be able to cut you off, but they cannot chuck you out of your house, so how can they chuck tenants out of social housing because they cannot afford to pay for their heating? well, in a statement lambeth council said... "we provided an extra half a million pounds in funding for our most vulnerable tenants, and have been working with residents to create extended payment plans. we cannot

accept non—payment, as if not paid, they will be classed as rent arrears." one of london's overground stations has had a glow up paying homage to its victorian history. following structural repairs, disused rooms have been transformed into a new community space and waiting room at tottenham's bruce grove station. the station was originally on the stoke newington & edmonton railway and opened in 1872. you can read more about the story on our website. that takes us to a look at the tubes. there's a minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. other services running well. now onto the weather with kawser hello, good morning. well, it certainly is a mild start to the day. a lot of cloud around once again. still breezy, with some rain arriving later on in the day. for today though there will be some brighter spells, but mostly cloudy,

and largely dry too. but where the cloud is thick enough, once again the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. temperatures by the afternoon reaching the low teens, maybe 13 or 1a celsius. this evening the winds pick up further and we'll see some arriving from the north. but clearing southwards by the end of the night, with clearer skies, allowing temperatures to fall. it will be a chilly night and a chillier start to the day tomorrow. whilst tomorrow will be largely dry, it does become more unsettled again later in the week. some uncertainty still that an area of low pressure will bring outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds. so, a drier day tomorrow, cooler too, milderagain, and much more unsettled from thursday onwards, with outbreaks of rain at times and strong winds as well. keep up—to—date with the forecast. i'll be back with the next update from bbc london in half an hour. have a very good morning. bye— bye.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our main story this morning is the announcement that king charles is being treated for cancer. let's take a look at how today's newspapers have covered it. the telegraph devotes most of its front page to the story, with the simple headline "king has cancer". the mirror calls it a "cancer shock". and it also features the news that prince harry will fly back to the uk to see his father. the metro points out that the diagnosis comes just days after king charles underwent an operation on his prostate, although the palace statement did make it clear that his new illness is not prostate cancer. and the daily mail quotes un—named friends of the king who say he is "hugely positive" that the cancer was caught early and that his prognosis is good.

buckingham palace has announced king charles has been diagnosed with cancer. while the type of cancer hasn't been disclosed, the palace has confirmed he has started treatment. we'rejoined now by dr hilary williams, who is an oncologist and vice president of wales' royal college of practitioners. morning to you. here we have this morning the news that many people across the uk will have experience, this diagnosis, in theirfamily. obviously the announcement about the king came last night. for anyone who is diagnosed, the early days are really a time of shock and coming to terms with what is next. what happens now? yellow so, obviously it's a huge shock to anyone. i think normally you go through a series of

absolutely make sense. it doesn't necessarily mean the treatments are incredibly tough, but there is a psychological hit to this as well. i think very advised to take some time out for himself. flan think very advised to take some time out for himself.— out for himself. can you explain that a little _ out for himself. can you explain that a little bit _ out for himself. can you explain that a little bit for _ out for himself. can you explain that a little bit for us? - out for himself. can you explain that a little bit for us? what i out for himself. can you explain that a little bit for us? what is l that a little bit for us? what is the psychological hit at this point? lots of cancers very treatable and curable but there is something still very devastating about that diagnosis. and i think itjust takes a little bit of time. i was thinking this morning, he has got grandchildren that clearly he is close to, very extensive family. sometimes you want to share information quite slowly but he has had absolutely no choice but to be pretty public pretty quickly. so, yeah, i think for most people there is a shock and then perhaps a little bit of relief when they have a clear treatment plan, like we seem to have with king charles. find treatment plan, like we seem to have with king charles.— treatment plan, like we seem to have with king charles. and how common is it that when —

get it done. i think it isjust being realistic that cancer is very treatable these days. lung cancer screening has started. the earlier we get it, the sooner we can start treatment and make your life a lot better. . ~' , ., treatment and make your life a lot better. ., ~ , ., treatment and make your life a lot better. ., ~ . ., better. thank you so much for talkin: better. thank you so much for talking to _ better. thank you so much for talking to us _ better. thank you so much for talking to us this _ better. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. i talking to us this morning. let's talk about the king as a man. and let's talk now to hitan mehta from the british asian trust, who has worked closely with king charles for more than 15 years. good morning. thank you forjoining us. you know him well. how do you think you will be dealing with this diagnosis going forward? goad diagnosis going forward? good morninu. diagnosis going forward? good morning- i _ diagnosis going forward? good morning. ithink— diagnosis going forward? good morning. i think his _ diagnosis going forward?

players ever turning professional. trent alexander—arnold made his way to the top of the sport through the liverpool footballing academy. he started when he was six years old, and has gone on to win both the fa cup and the champions league. last year on breakfast, trent alexander—arnold announced that he was launching the after academy, to ensure that young players that were released had somewhere to turn for support and to find employment. now as the firstjobs go live, i met trent at liverpool 5 academy, where it all began for him. these boys here, how good would they be to be here now? oh, they're the best in the country, really. yeah.

some of the best talents in the country. so we could be watching, like a future superstar? mm—hm. i'd like to think so. yeah. that's the point, really, isn't it, yeah? yeah. pressure, though, eh? imagine knowing that. i was excited. you never know. that's why you're a professional footballer. no, like, that's what you work hard for. you never think you'll be a superstar or you'll be like — because you're always so realistic and just you think you're so far away, but in reality, these are so close. they're so close. they must look at you and think, right, that's my goal, he's done it. but how do you balance that with, keep an eye on plan b? that's a tough question. my main first message would always be believe in yourself and believe that is achievable because, you know, iwould be doing them an injustice if i was to say anything

else other than that, because that's what i thought — well, i know — got me so far and got me to be where i am today. it was just having that self—belief and believing that i was able to do it without really any doubts. so i would say give it everything, but also just know that...how difficult it is. nathan coaches some of liverpool academy's youngest talents and knows what it feels like to be let go. there's lots of my friends who've had tough times, and if we're speaking about football, they'lljust disappear because they don't want to even be a part of the conversation. and i actually, i get that from the period of time where i weren't feeling great about the whole thing. so again, maybe it's — i believe it's down to the individual and how they cope with it. but i think through as much support as they could actually get really. when a player is let go, they have this world of skills

that they might not realise they have at that point. but i imagine, in the trauma of being let go, maybe the shock of being let go, and the disappointment and the anger, one thing that can really suffer is a player's mental health. what more needs to be done to protect them, so that perhaps if they need help, they will reach out? potentially, one of the problems. is i think you can migrate yourself through a through an academy and your whole personality i and sort of character can be wrapped up as a footballer. j you know, you lose yourl identity of being the boy. it's the boy who plays football for whoever that might be. i so i think we probably need to look |a little bit at how we would protect| some of that identity, that it's not l all wrapped up as a footballer, i that you feel worth for being yourself and that football. is in addition to that. and i think that would go a long way to to safeguarding mental health. i i think what alex mentioned about the identity is a massive point, because i felt like that

i enjoyed it, but i knew i was known and was spoken about as, he's the lad that plays the academy. you know, that's fine because i enjoyed it and it didn't mean anything to me. but if that was wiped away from me, you know, that would have crushed me. hey. went. — what's happening — are you 0k? if you wasn't a professional footballer, what— would you have been? i was always interested in the mentality and the mindsets side of things, just like, how different mindsets work and what it takes. so i think sports psychology, i would say. if a player in our squad isn't offered a pro contract, how could the after academy help them? support, because you put in so much it hurts you mentally, i'll be honest. from the lads that i've spoken to, people who have... ..came through the academy for ten, 12 years, like, my best mates, and that and they get released and it's like, i see him every single day my life and now

i've got to carry on this journey without him. and that was bad for me, and i was still coming in here and i was still living the dream, and he wasn't. so, everyone wants you to make it in football. but life is bigger than football and everyone just wants you to be successful in life. if that's football, then that's amazing. but if it's not, then, you know, try and make it elsewhere. you just focus on the football. i'll focus on on everything else after. what's it like being back here with all these, like, young hopes and dreams just on the verge of success? what's this like for you to be able to talk to the lads today? it's unreal. incredible to be back here. honestly, it's fun. you're working so hard, you're so close and that, so you enjoy the journey, whether it's good, bad, every part of it enjoy it, because it's better than not being part of it at all. lads, can we show our appreciation with a round of applause _ for trent, please ? applause thank you.

what a day that was for trent and those young players they were talking to. we know the truth, that joining an economy as a footballer does not mean that you are going to be a footballer. so i think what trent is trying to do is really important. he is trying to make them look at plan b. which, if you are in that life of being an academy player, you might not want to because you are conditioned to try your hardest. and they were hanging on his every word in the classroom. they were. and he is the success story. he is that diamond that they find that really is very rare. he will talk very openly about his best friend from his time in the academy who didn't make it, who have to go on to their plan b or c or d d. that's why he started this new thing, the after academy, which is launching today. roles that are open exclusively to former academy players will go live today

on the professional footballer�*s association website. different types of things, training courses, jobs they might be able to do. because there are skills you learn in academy that are transferable into life. it is what other sports will do in turn as well after bottle. thank you, sally. that's fascinating. —— after football. carol is the weather. there is talk of snow coming to some places later in the week. good morning. in the week. good morninu. ., �*, good morning. that's right. good morninu. good morning. that's right. good morning- today _ good morning. that's right. good morning. today it's _ good morning. that's right. good morning. today it's a _ good morning. that's right. good morning. today it's a real- good morning. that's right. good| morning. today it's a real mixture of weather. we have got a band of heavy rain slowly moving south. behind that, it is going to be brighter but it is going to be colder. and in the north we will see some snow showers, increasingly at lower levels. significance noted across shetland. we have got this weather front. across shetland. we have got this weatherfront. it has been across shetland. we have got this weather front. it has been ensconced across northern scotland and western scotland for the last couple of days. it is now sinking south, albeit slowly. you can see from the

isobars ahead of it it is going to be blustery in the south. the rain has been heavy since moving across to southern scotland and northern ireland, and making progress in northern england. it will push slowly southwards through the day, brighter skies, wintry showers behind it, and blustery ahead of it. that is how we head into the afternoon. ahead of the band of rain afternoon. ahead of the band of rain a lot of cloud, drizzle here and there. but heavy rain, the heaviest where you see the green the charts. look at these temperatures. 125135. for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, brighter skies, sunshine feeling colder. wintry showers in the highlands to lower levels. in shetland we have a lower levels. in shetland we have a low pressure area. significance no and strong to gale force winds. have and strong to gale force winds. have a look at the far north of scotland for a time as well. where we have got the snow means it will be blowing and potentially drifting when it accumulates. as we head on through the course of tonight the weather front bearing the rain sinks

to the south, bringing rain into the channel islands and potentially the south—west. you can see how the cold air filters south—west. you can see how the cold airfilters in behind that weather front. it'sjust airfilters in behind that weather front. it's just the far south hanging on to the milder conditions. cold in the north. the risk of ice and a widespread frost. the other thing that is going to happen in the north tonight is we have a weather front coming in from the north—west sinking south, down towards the central lowlands and possibly northern ireland overnight, bringing some snow. again, we could see some of these at lower levels. it is something to watch if you are travelling early doors tomorrow morning. here it is on the chart. rain in the south still ensconced across the channel islands, a bit more cloud, a lot of dry weather. it would be a drier and brighter day. it is not going to be as windy or blustery. but it will be colder. colder especially across england and wales, where we have had double—figure temperatures for the last wee while. it is also going to

be a cold day in scotland despite the sunshine. as we move beyond that, it is looking more complicated. we have an area of low pressure pushing north bumping into the cold air. on its leading edge we are expecting some snow. still a level of uncertainty as to the exact positioning of this, but at the moment it looks like we could see some snow across parts of the midlands, in through wales and northern england. the potential is there for it to travelling to scotland and also northern ireland. we are keeping a close eye on it. the met office has a yellow weather warning out for this and it runs overnight from thursday to the early hours of friday morning. something to be aware of. thank you. peter butterworth was known to legions of carry on fans for his comic turns in the hit film series. but before acting, he had played an extraordinary part in the second world war. newly released documents have revealed that peter had been a code writer,

and even escaped a german prison camp, inspiring the classic film the great escape. david sillito has been speaking to his son tyler about the new discoveries. great escape theme the national archive, and an exhibition of the documents telling the story of world war two's prisoners of war. you've got a photograph to show me here. including this newly discovered photograph which has hidden behind it a secret. underneath it, hidden letter. oh, this is writing. it is writing, it is indeed. the photo, sent by prisoners, had a secret message in minuscule writing, and the exhibition reveals more about the men behind all of this, including one who went on to become a famous face in british cinema. if you're a fan of the carry on films, you'll recognise him — peter butterworth. welcome to paradise. here in carry on camping.

and here, carry on up the khyber. don't worry — we'll save you some strawberry mousse! that's the new document that's been uncovered, isn't it? yeah, that's right. and for his son, tyler, the gradual release of his wartime records has been a revelation. that's his id paper, isn't it, from stalag luft 3? stalag luft 3 is a famous one, isn't it? yeah, it's, erm, of course, it's the one where the great escape took place from. and also? the wooden horse escape. the wooden horse, for those who've not seen the film, was another famous escape when they tunnelled under a vaulting horse. are you honestly saying that peter butterworth of carry on up the khyber was involved in both the great escape and the wooden horse? yeah. yes, he was. military, me? certainly not! he played the daftest characters.

and here he is, part of m19? yes, well, that's the other side that nobody knew about. he was working for british intelligence, code writing. you're learning new stuff? yeah, yeah, all the time. here at the national archives, when they keep declassifying things, more things seem to bubble up. it's remarkable. did he talk about this to you? no, no, he didn't. he did suffer from what we all now call post—traumatic stress disorder. but i didn't know — obviously he never said this to my sister and i, but my mother told me about it, about things that happened, especially when they were married, right at the start of their marriage after the war, where he'd suddenly leap out of bed at night and throw himself on the floor and start hiding. and she had to barricade the bedroom door because the staircase was outside, and he would have... and then he'd get back into bed and just go to sleep. my mother would lie there wide awake for the rest of the night. right, here we are, girls. and for fans of the carry ons,

it's worth noting there was another prisoner in stalag luft 3 — talbot rothwell, who wrote the carry on scripts. the humour kind of had its kind of start in this place surrounded by watchtowers and guard dogs. but they worked out what made guys laugh. captain keen. and that was the funny thing. dad played these kind of bumbling characters that were always getting things wrong. that was totally focused, writing code, working with his friends who were tunnelling on the other side of the compound, of the north compound. repent ye, before it is too late! having been through what he'd been through, i'm not surprised he had all sorts of different things going on in his mind and in his life. i mean, my mother told me that when they first bought the house that we grew up in, dad would religiously put on a dressing gown and walk around the garden in the morning,

every morning, because he could. because here he couldn't. those are the sort of things he brought back with him. but i didn't know about this until he was dead. you... so when he was growing up, dad was just an actor in some gloriously daft films. 50 years on, tyler now knows rather more about his famous father. david sillito, bbc news. and now we all do. what an amazing story. and to keep that quiet, not speak about it for so long. incredible. all the headlines coming up, including the king pass my cancer diagnosis. hearing from some people who know him rather well and will tell us how he will be coping. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. police investigating the attack using corrosives in clapham on a mother and her daughters say they've found the mobile phone of the suspect. a nationwide manhunt�*s now in its sixth day for abdul shokoor ezedi. police say the mother may have lost sight in one eye. yesterday a man arrested for assisting an offender was bailed. a 21—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a stabbing in southgate in north london. emergency services were called to the attack at queen elizabeth's drive, just after 2pm on sunday. the victim, a 37—year—old man, died later that day in hospital. lambeth council tenants are being threatened with eviction for failing to pay their heating bills. residents were under a communal heating agreement to keep their payments at a set amount. but last year high fuel prices meant their rates rose sharply. they now face losing their tenancy if they can't pay up.

i don't believe they can evict someone for not being able to pay their heating. because if you weren't on a heat network, and you weren't paying lambeth for your heating, you'd be paying british gas or whoever, british gas cannot evict you because you can't afford to pay your heating. they may be able to cut you off, but they cannot chuck you out of your house, so how can they chuck tenants out of social housing because they cannot afford to pay for their heating? well, in a statement lambeth council said... "we provided an extra £500,000 in funding for our most vulnerable tenants and have been working with residents to create extended payment plans. we cannot accept nonpayment as if not paid, they will be classed as rent arrears." one of london's overground stations has had a glow up paying homage to its victorian history. disused rooms have been transformed into a new community space and waiting room at tottenham's bruce grove station. it was originally on the stoke newington and edmonton railway opening in 1872. you can read more about the story on our website.

that takes us to a look at the tubes. there's a minor delays on the central line. other services running well. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it certainly is a mild start to the day. a lot of cloud around once again. still breezy, with some rain arriving later on in the day. for today though there will be some brighter spells, but mostly cloudy, and largely dry too. but where the cloud is thick enough, once again the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. temperatures by the afternoon reaching the low teens, maybe 13 or 1a celsius. this evening the winds pick up further and we'll see some rain arriving from the north. but clearing southwards by the end of the night, with clearer skies, allowing temperatures to fall. it will be a chilly night and a chillier start to the day tomorrow. whilst tomorrow will be largely dry, it does become more unsettled again later in the week. some uncertainty still that an area of low pressure will bring outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds. so, a drier day tomorrow, coolertoo, milderagain,

and much more unsettled from thursday onwards, with outbreaks of rain at times and strong winds as well. keep up—to—date with the forecast. i'll be back with the next update from bbc london in half an hour. have a very good morning.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. king charles is to step back from public duties as he begins treatment for cancer. he will continue with his consitutional role as head of state including his regular meetings with the prime minister. prince william is expected to take on some of the king's public work and prince harry is due to fly back to the uk in the coming days. also this morning, a man has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of assisting the suspected clapham chemical attacker. how much profit did the energy giant bp make last year? on the day the final cost of living payments begin for the households who need it most, we look at the numbers.

good morning. some heavy rain pushing out of northern ireland and southern scotland across parts of northern england and wales today. to the south of that it's going to be cloudy, blustery and mild but to the north, fresh air with sunshine and wintry showers. all of the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 6th february. our main story. king charles will step back from some of his royal duties as he begins his treatment for cancer. buckingham palace announced the king's diagnosis, and said while it's not prostate cancer, it was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. charities have praised the king's openness about his health. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this was the last time we saw the king in public — on sunday, going to church with queen camilla on the sandringham estate in norfolk. just 17 months into his reign, he now faces a serious health challenge. just over a week ago,

the king left this private hospital in central london, where he'd spent three nights being treated for an enlarged prostate. we now know, during his stay here, cancer was discovered. in a statement, buckingham palace said... although open about his diagnosis, the type of cancer the king has will be kept private, as will the nature of his treatment. all of his public engagements have been cancelled. his son, the duke of sussex, is expected to visit him this week, travelling to the uk from his home in california to see his father, who contacted prince harry

personally with news of the diagnosis. it is the first time harry has seen the king since the coronation. in times of crisis, families do come together, and i think everyone will be happy to see that. i think, you know, there is a sort of sense of business as usual going on — that's very much a message that sort of the palace is trying to put out. but if, along the way, we can see some bridges being built, then that's got to be a good thing. but it will now be down to other working members of the royalfamily to pick up some of the king's work. his wife, queen camilla, has done a number of her own engagements in recent weeks, but may now find herself doing some of her husband's duties, too. it will be the same for the king's son, the prince of wales, who himself has been away from royal engagements for almost a month following his wife's stay

in hospital after surgery. he is due to return to public duty tomorrow in windsor and london. this is going to be a testing time for the king and the wider royal family, as they balance personal, private challenges with the need to continue with public duties. daniela relph, bbc news. charlotte gallagher is outside buckingham palace for us now. morning, charlotte. what more can you tell us about how this diagnosis is going to change the king's daily duties? ~ ., , is going to change the king's daily duties? a, , ., ., duties? morning, sally. so, although he is auoin duties? morning, sally. so, although he is going to — duties? morning, sally. so, although he is going to be _ duties? morning, sally. so, although he is going to be stepping _ duties? morning, sally. so, although he is going to be stepping back i duties? morning, sally. so, although he is going to be stepping back from | he is going to be stepping back from public duties, the king will still be carrying out his constitutional role as head of state. so what that means he is he will be reviewing paperwork, signing documents, he will still be having private meetings including with the prime minister. there is a constitutional

mechanism if the head of state is unable to do those duties and that's when councillors of state step up, in this case currently they would be the queen, prince william, princess anne, prince edward, not prince harry or prince andrew because they are no longer working oils. and that's when they can step up for a head of state if they are unable to fulfil those duties. in this case, they are not needed. prince william has been taking some time off because another member of the royal family has had health challenges, his wife the princess of wales. prince william had stepped back from public duties while his wife was in hospital and recuperating, but he is returning to them this week and we expect to see him out in public tomorrow. expect to see him out in public tomorrow-— expect to see him out in public tomorrow. ., ~ , ., ., ., world leaders have been sending their best wishes to the king, including us presidentjoe biden, and french president emmanuel macron. here in the uk, politicians have also been voicing their support. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. he is in downing street. what has

been the reaction from politicians across the uk?— been the reaction from politicians across the uk? morning, jon. i think understandable _ across the uk? morning, jon. i think understandable surprise _ across the uk? morning, jon. i think understandable surprise from - understandable surprise from politicians, but giving way very quickly to warm wishes for the king from every part of the political spectrum and indeed political leaders from every corner of the united kingdom. the prime minister said he knows the whole country will be wishing the king well and sir keir starmer, the leader of the labour party, said that he wished the king all the very best for his recovery. you mentioned also the world reaction, president biden of the united states was asked about it pretty soon after the news broke, he said he was concerned about the king having just heard about his diagnosis, and he would be talking to him, god willing. it's worth noting that as you heard, the king will be continuing with his constitutional duties, but this is an election year and he has a couple of more prominent than usual constitutional duties. he will have the job of dissolving parliament, the job of dissolving parliament, the formal way that a general

election begins, also hisjob after the general election is to invite somebody, rishi sunak or sir keir starmer, to form a government. they both hope it will be there but for now they are united in wishing the king well. now they are united in wishing the kin: well. . ~ now they are united in wishing the kin: well. ., ~ , ., , now they are united in wishing the kin: well. . ~' ,, , . king well. thank you very much indeed, king well. thank you very much indeed. and _ king well. thank you very much indeed, and now, _ king well. thank you very much indeed, and now, henry. i it was just over a week ago that king charles underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate, news that he'd shared to raise awareness. now he's being praised for sharing his cancer diagnosis too. we're nowjoined by our health correspondent dominic hughes. morning, tom. we know some facts here but some things remain private. yes, for understandable reasons, not all of the details about executor what type of cancer have been released. what we —— exactly what type of cancer. what we do know is cancer touches the lives of one in two people throughout their lifetimes, predominantly it's a disease affecting older people. one in three diagnosed, a third are in

the over 755. more than 200 different types of cancer, the most common are bowel, lung, prostate and breast cancer. the treatment options for those are broadly similar, a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. each one is treated differently depending one is treated differently depending on what type of cancer it is and where it is. the diagnosis for anyone, it doesn't matter who you are, a diagnosis of cancer is going to be daunting but charities have praised the king being open about his diagnosis. it really is a reminder that an early diagnosis, the sooner you can get a cancer diagnosis, the better the outcome, the more option you have to treat it. , ,., ., ., , it. this will resonate with families ri . ht it. this will resonate with families right across _ it. this will resonate with families right across the _ it. this will resonate with families right across the country, - it. this will resonate with families right across the country, won't i it. this will resonate with families j right across the country, won't it? i think it really well.— i think it really well. thank you very much. _ i think it really well. thank you very much, dom. _ i think it really well. thank you very much, dom. we - i think it really well. thank you very much, dom. we will- i think it really well. thank you very much, dom. we will hear| i think it really well. thank you i very much, dom. we will hear from very much, dom. we will hearfrom people who know the king well this morning, and we will speak to medical experts, but there is lots

of other news to tell you about. police have arrested and bailed a 22—year—old man on suspicion of assisting the alleged clapham chemical attacker abdul eh—zedi. police have arrested and bailed a 22—year—old man on suspicion of assisting the alleged clapham chemical attacker abdul ezedi. he has been on the run since a woman and her two young daughters were injured in south london last wednesday. our home editor mark easton has the latest. a new picture of the afghan refugee who fled the scene of the clapham corrosive chemical attack. who fled the scene of the clapham abdul shakoor ezedi, identified on london's southwark bridge at 9.50pm on wednesday night. but since then, nothing. ezedi's car recovered from the scene has been minutely examined by a forensics team. inside the vehicle, officers found ezedi's mobile phone, but while that helps provide evidence, it also means police are much more reliant on cctv footage to track their target's movements. it takes a long time to track cctv because you have to work out which way he's gone. hundreds and hundreds of hours of cctv painstakingly gone through. we've got support and assistance

from our counter—terrorism fugitive teams who are experts in this, along with our experts in specialist crime. so we are tracking him down and we will continue to do so. will you get him? i'm as confident as i can be, mark, that we will, yes. police are trying to work out the relationship between ezedi and the woman he attacked. she suffered serious burns from a powerful, corrosive alkali. still critically ill in hospital, unable to communicate, she has life—changing injuries to her face and is at risk of losing sight in her right eye. the two children are now out of hospital and being cared for, but the trail of their attacker has gone cold. in one of the most surveilled cities in the world, a man with a serious facial injury whose picture's been all over the media and apparently without access to a mobile phone or cash, well, he's simply vanished. a 22—year—old has been arrested on suspicion of helping ezedi evade capture. but the met�*s specialist manhunt

team says if he's alive and being supported, it could be some time before they finally get their man. mark easton, bbc news, scotland yard. a british cargo ship has been attacked in the red sea overnight. the vessel was positioned off the west coast of yemen when it was hitjust after midnight. no group has claimed responsibility. it comes following weeks of attacks on vessels in the red sea by iranian—backed group, the houthis. the us secretary of state antony blinken will travel to egypt today in an attempt to help secure a pause in the fighting in gaza and facilitate peace talks. this visit will mark mr blinken's fifth trip to the region since the hamas attacks in israel on 7th october last year. in the last few moments the energy giant bp have published details of their profits for the last year. nina is here with the details. we are used to seeing big numbers from these companies, what can you

tell us? . ~ from these companies, what can you tell us? ., ~ , ., from these companies, what can you tell us? ., ~ i. , we all know this name, bp, the energy titan. we've just learned they made abour £11 billion in profit last year. a lot of money, although down significantly from profits of £23 billion in 2022. tricky to directly compare profits to previous years though, because global lockdowns, then russia's invasion of ukraine, made the value of energy dip then peak. but unlikely there are many households feeling sympathy for this drop. gas and electricity bills remain high, and today sees the roll—out of the final cost of living payments to those who need it most. there are big decisions ahead for bp, including how closely to stick with their controversial and ambitious green strategy. it's worth a reminder, bp might argue they contribute a lot of tax, they don't set the value of energy, nor do they decide what we pay for it. nevertheless, when we see these big profits, £11 billion, they can make for uneasy reading

when many are struggling with the very basics. eight million people on means—tested benefits are now receiving their final cost—of—living payment to help with high prices and bills. the payment of nearly £300 will go directly into the bank accounts of those eligible without the need to claim. no further payments of this kind are scheduled and charities are urging the government to consider more support. work has begun to demolish an unauthorised spa building at the home of captain sir tom moore's daughter in bedfordshire. hannah ingram—moore and her husband colin lost an appeal in october against an order to remove the building. they claimed the spa pool would offer "rehabilitation sessions" but the proposals were refused by a planning inspector. the fossil of a unique flying

in mild conditions. this evening and overnight the rain will make it down to the english channel, clearer skies following behind, then any weather front coming in skies following behind, then any weatherfront coming in bringing snow to lower levels in scotland and possibly northern ireland, bear that in mind first thing in the morning. cold enough forfrost in mind first thing in the morning. cold enough for frost and a risk of ice. most of us in the colder air apart from the south—west. we start with cloud here, wednesday a decent day with drier weather, bright or sunny guys, a few wintry showers but not as windy. temperatures are lower across england and wales. we go through the night wednesday into thursday and we will start to see some snow pushing north, i will have more later in the programme. i was auoin to more later in the programme. i was going to say — more later in the programme. i was going to say we _ more later in the programme. i was going to say we will _ more later in the programme. i was going to say we will look _ more later in the programme. i —" going to say we will look forward to it, but i'm not sure! thank you for

now. a year after the devastating earthquakes that hit southern turkey and northern syria, the living conditions for those who survived are still difficult and dangerous. more than 50,000 people were killed and millions were displaced. anna foster covered the fallout from the earthquakes at the time, and she joins us now from southern turkey. we can still see the terrible damage all around you a year on. yes. we can still see the terrible damage all around you a year on.— all around you a year on. yes, it's hard to believe _ all around you a year on. yes, it's hard to believe it _ all around you a year on. yes, it's hard to believe it was _ all around you a year on. yes, it's hard to believe it was a _ all around you a year on. yes, it's hard to believe it was a year i all around you a year on. yes, it'sj hard to believe it was a year since these devastating earthquakes that had such a huge effect on millions of people across this part of southern turkey, and into northern syria as well. after 12 months of

consistent work, life for people still very difficult, people do not want homes to live in, they are intents all contain houses, this time of year, freezing fog, wet and muqqy time of year, freezing fog, wet and muggy and really cold, and it is really difficult for a lot of people —— they are in tense or containers houses. the huge amount of turkey and syria affected by this, it's hard to remember that each one of these people affected, each individual life, that was turned upside down by this, has a story and an impact. i wanted to bring you just one story of one little boy who has been really badly affected by all of this. mohammed lost everything on the night of the earthquake. his parents, his home and his right arm and leg. a year later, he's active

and full of energy. luckily, he's too young to remember much of the ordeal he went through. mohammed was the much loved first and only child of hasar, a pharmacist, and ahmad, who was an engineer. they fled from syria to turkey to escape the war. on the early morning of the 6th, mohammed and his family were asleep in their flat on the third floor of the building. and when the earthquake happened, the power of it destroyed the whole thing. each of those floors collapsed down into the one below, leaving just a huge pile of rubble. and mohammed was only found by rescuers five days later, wrapped in his father's arms. since then, he's had hours of operations to try and repair his broken body. without a family, a succession of activists have taken care of him. right now, he's with jamal haida, a doctor who works in a refugee camp.

translation: there are some difficulties. sometimes he gets angry and cries, then starts banging his head on the floor. but in general, he is a social kid. he behaves the same way anyone his age would. he sleeps and plays like any other child. mostly he crawls on his arm and leg. his struggle will grow with him when he sees people walking on their feet while he only has one or using their arms while he can't. mohammed has just one surviving relative, his aunt manal, who was in saudi arabia when the quake happened. but local turkish laws mean she struggled to take him out of the country or return herself to look after him. and that makes his future an uncertain one. the city of antakya where mohammed lived was one of the worst hit areas. 85% of its infrastructure

was destroyed. homes, schools, hospitals gone. the clean—up is still going on. more than 300,000 new homes were promised, but less than a quarter have been built. the government says the scale of the task is making reconstruction slow. a year after the earthquake, mohammed remains a young boy surrounded by tragedy, a small example of the devastation that's still felt here every day. anna foster, bbc news, southern turkey. it is children like mohammed who feel this particularly hard. many of them are not back to school yet. when i talked about the tents and containers that people are living in, often it whole families in small

tents in small areas, they don't have their own washing or cleaning facilities, and you see children playing amongst this devastation, among the rubble. it's been such a difficult time for people here and that point about housing is really important. not long after the earthquake, there was a big presidential election campaign in turkey and promises were made about building a lot of new houses for people to live in but so far less than one quarter of those have been delivered. even yesterday i was talking to people saying, when will we have a home and a solid roof over our head? people cannot give them an answer to that. in turkey and syria, things are equally bad. the un says that the last year has been the worst funded year in syria for its humanitarian programmes since the war began there. all of that taken together shows you why a year after the earthquake, life here is so enormously difficult and dangerous and hard for people who survived the earthquake.

to go miles and miles to, you know, for a dental appointment. this potentially could be a template for other places. you know, these things can be reversed. they are not good decisions. the need for nhs dentists is enormous in this country. the only way to register is in person and hundreds turned up. since the summer, patients have had to travel up to a0 miles to be seen. others, like carol, ended up paying to go private. it's 140 just for... just to make sure you can be seen, be seen. and this is why people are forced to the extremities of their abilities to get the money and to go and do it. and it's outrageous, it's absolutely outrageous. some have no choice but to go without treatment. norman's resorted to diy dentistry. i'm holding my teeth together now with glue. with glue? super glue. are you joking?

i've got my dentures here, i'm holding them together with super glue for the last couple of months. well, as you can see, it's started raining now and the queue just seems to be getting longer and longer. they've brought in police community support officers to keep people calm and also to explain to them how long they might be waiting, which could be hours yet. but not everyone could afford to queue all day. some had to get to work. every step along the way, there is always some kind of inequality going on. and even if you look at this queue today, you will see people there who, they've brought their chairs, not because they want to just sit down, but because they can't stand for a long time. there's people who've been turning away, you know, disabled people who cannot stand up. and they've just come to register. so, again, we're in a position, although it's fantastic that the dentist is opening, where the most vulnerable people are being left out of this type of process. and this is something that we really, really need to address. the nhs was keen to stress there will be other days that people can register,

but unfortunately not everyone will be able to get on the list. pam caulfield, bbc news. that's the number on the screen, get in touch with us if you have a story to share, if you are waiting to try to share, if you are waiting to try to get into a dentist, see the lengths people are prepared to go to. 50 lengths people are prepared to go to, ., , lengths people are prepared to go to. ., , , ., . to. so many people that the police came in with _ to. so many people that the police came in with help _ to. so many people that the police came in with help with _ to. so many people that the police came in with help with crowd i came in with help with crowd control, its came in with help with crowd control, it's ridiculous. you can also zap the — control, it's ridiculous. you can also zap the qr _ control, it's ridiculous. you can also zap the qr code _ control, it's ridiculous. you can also zap the qr code on - control, it's ridiculous. you can also zap the qr code on the i control, it's ridiculous. you can i also zap the qr code on the screen and connect on whatsapp. if you get in touch on whatsapp, tell us who you are and where you are, especially on a subject like dentistry, it's useful to see what's going on in different parts of the country. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. police investigating the attack using corrosives in clapham on a mother and her daughters,

say they've found the mobile phone of the suspect. a nationwide manhunt�*s now in its sixth day for abdul shokoor ezedi. police say the mother may have lost sight in one eye. yesterday a man arrested for assisting an offender was bailed. a 21—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a stabbing in southgate in north london. emergency services were called to the attack at queen elizabeth's drive, just after 2pm on sunday. the victim — a 37—year—old man — died later that day in hospital. lambeth council tenants are being threatened with eviction for failing to pay their heating bills. residents were under a communal heating agreement to keep their payments at a set amount. but last year high fuel prices meant their rates rose sharply. they now face losing their tenancy if they can't pay up. i don't believe they can evict someone for not being able to pay their heating. because if you weren't on a heat network, and you weren't paying lambeth for your heating, you'd be paying british gas or whoever, british gas cannot evict

you because you can't afford to pay your heating. they may be able to cut you off, but they cannot chuck you out of your house, so how can they chuck tenants out of social housing because they cannot afford to pay for their heating? well, in a statement lambeth council said, "we provided an extra half a million pounds in funding for our most vulnerable tenants and have been working with residents to create extended payment plans. we cannot accept non—payment, as if not paid, they will be classed as rent arrears." one of london's overground stations has had a glow up paying homage to it's victorian history. disused rooms have been transformed into a new community space and waiting room at tottenham's bruce grove station. it was originally on the stoke newington & edmonton railway opening in 1872. you can read more about the story on our website. that takes us to a look at the tubes. there's a minor delays on central line. all services running well. now onto the weather with kawser.

hello, good morning. well, it certainly is a mild start to the day. a lot of cloud around once again. still breezy, with some rain arriving later on in the day. for today though there will be some brighter spells, but mostly cloudy, and largely dry too. but where the cloud is thick enough, once again the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. temperatures by the afternoon reaching the low teens, maybe 13 or 1a celsius. this evening the winds pick up further and we'll see some arriving from the north. but clearing southwards by the end of the night, with clearer skies, allowing temperatures to fall. it will be a chilly night and a chillier start to the day tomorrow. whilst tomorrow will be largely dry, it does become more unsettled again later in the week. some uncertainty still that an area of low pressure will bring outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds. so, a drier day tomorrow, coolertoo, milderagain, and much more unsettled from thursday onwards, with outbreaks of rain at times and strong winds as well. keep up—to—date with the forecast.

i'll be back with the next update from bbc london in half an hour. have a very good morning. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. buckingham palace has announced that king charles has been diagnosed with cancer, following a recent hospital stay for a benign enlarged prostate. joining us now is charles anson, former press secretary to queen elizabeth ii. good morning. thank you so much for “oininu us. good morning. thank you so much for joining us- you _ good morning. thank you so much for joining us. you will _ good morning. thank you so much for joining us. you will have _ good morning. thank you so much for joining us. you will have seen - good morning. thank you so much for joining us. you will have seen the i joining us. you will have seen the king up close over many years through your work. how do you think you will be dealing with this diagnosis as a man? i you will be dealing with this diagnosis as a man?- you will be dealing with this diagnosis as a man? i think you will be dealin: diagnosis as a man? i think you will be dealing with _ diagnosis as a man? i think you will be dealing with that _ diagnosis as a man? i think you will be dealing with that robustly. i diagnosis as a man? i think you will be dealing with that robustly. he i be dealing with that robustly. he has such a strong sense of public duty. and i think he feels very

strongly that the condition that he has, in the treatment for it, should be known in general terms and perhaps be an encouragement for those like the king who are dealing with this sort of condition. iwhich those like the king who are dealing with this sort of condition.- with this sort of condition. which i cuess with this sort of condition. which i guess explains — with this sort of condition. which i guess explains why _ with this sort of condition. which i guess explains why he _ with this sort of condition. which i guess explains why he was - with this sort of condition. which i guess explains why he was so - with this sort of condition. which i | guess explains why he was so open last week when he announced that he was having treatment for an enlarged prostate, and then opened this week when he announced last night that he has a different type of cancer? that, i think, has a different type of cancer? that, ithink, is has a different type of cancer? that, i think, is a has a different type of cancer? that, ithink, is a result has a different type of cancer? that, i think, is a result of medical diagnosis. and of course he has a marvellous team of doctors in the royal household who will be following it closely. but i don't think we are going to expect daily bulletins. he is undergoing treatment, he has been quite open about that. and of course the business of the monarchy, despite this great setback, despite this setback, the work of the monarchy goes on, as it always does, and

there are many other members of the royalfamily there are many other members of the royal family who there are many other members of the royalfamily who can there are many other members of the royal family who can step up and help with the —— help. queen camilla, the prince of wales and many other members of the royal family, who will be able to help with some of the duties he would have undertaken. he continues to receive state papers, to see the prime minister, so the business of the country, and the constitutional role of the monarch, continues without really missing a beat. you were a press _ without really missing a beat. you were a press secretary to queen elizabeth. what you make of the fact that buckingham palace in 2024 has been so open about the king's diagnosis? a sign of the times, i'm guessing, i can't imagine it would have happened in this way before? i think you're right, it is a sign of the times. the palace has decided to be more open. that's because we live in a much more open society, therefore it makes sense to strike a balance between giving enough information to people for them to

know what the general condition is, but not to have sort of constant daily or hourly bulletins. and i think the reason for that is obvious, both in terms of confidentiality for the patient, evenif confidentiality for the patient, even if it is the king. and as well, the point that the work of the monarchy goes on. i mean, why it has lasted for a thousand years and more is that it is able to adapt. and i think the royalfamily is that it is able to adapt. and i think the royal family around the king will be very supportive to him. and will undertake all the priority engagements, orsome and will undertake all the priority engagements, or some of them anyway, that he would have been doing at this time. the most important thing is his health. and the king's health, he should be restored to full health quickly and that involves treatment, but also the time to get better. and i think his health is the number one priority for everybody, as it is for others with forms of cancer. absolutely,

members of the royalfamily, queen camilla, the princess royal, the duke and the edinburgh, and other members of the royal family who can help to step up and undertake some of those programmes. others will have to be, the programme will have to be rearranged and stretched out a bit more so that the priorities are dealt with and in due course everything, one hopes, will come back to normal. the monarchy is able to adapt. back to normal. the monarchy is able to adat. ., ~ back to normal. the monarchy is able to adat. . ~ i., back to normal. the monarchy is able to adat. ., ~' ,, . back to normal. the monarchy is able to adat. ., ~' . ., to adapt. thank you so much for 'oinin: to adapt. thank you so much for joining us- _ to adapt. thank you so much for joining us- we — to adapt. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate - to adapt. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate your l to adapt. thank you so much for- joining us. we appreciate your time. pleasure. just last week, queen camilla visited maggie's, the cancer charity she is president of. the chief executive of maggie's, dame laura lee, joins us now. morning to you. you saw the queen just a few days ago. her was she when you spoke to her?- just a few days ago. her was she when you spoke to her? good morning. well, as when you spoke to her? good morning. well. as ever. — when you spoke to her? good morning. well, as ever, the _ when you spoke to her? good morning. well, as ever, the queen _ when you spoke to her? good morning. well, as ever, the queen was _

any family need after a diagnosis? so it is a process of adjustment. we have all been feeling the shock of hearing this news. that's the same for any family. then it's adjusting to the treatment options, the paths ahead, some of the decisions you need to make, how will that affect my daily life, how can i keep my work going forward? and it is allowing time for everybody to start to adjust to that news and to understand what's ahead. it is important for the person with cancer as well as the family members. i think what we can see that is happening here is the king has done a wonderfuljob of telling us about his cancer diagnosis. so he is telling others that he is going through this, that they are not alone, he is with them on that. but he is also giving his time to his family to come to terms with what is going on and to see what might lie ahead. ~ ., ,, .,

absolutely. i think what the king's story tells us is that he has gone in with his benign prostate for exploration, and has come out with another diagnosis. so, if you have a symptom please go to your gp, ask to speak to someone, and look for those investigations that might uncover what an underlying problem can be. and if they need to find somebody to talk to to get that support as to how to navigate the system, to get the care that you need.— the care that you need. thank you for talkin: the care that you need. thank you for talking to _ the care that you need. thank you for talking to us. _ for talking to us. pleasure, thank you. zf} for talking to us. pleasure, thank ou. :: , ., pleasure, thank you. 20 minutes to eiaht. eight. carol is a warning. eight. carol is a warninu. u, ., eight. carol isawarnin. ., carol is a warning. good morning. yes indeed. _ carol is a warning. good morning. yes indeed, they _ carol is a warning. good morning. yes indeed, they met _ carol is a warning. good morning. yes indeed, they met office - carol is a warning. good morning. | yes indeed, they met office issued this weather warning yesterday. it may well be updated today. but it is false now and we are looking widely across parts of england and also wales of two to five centimetres, even more than that on the tops of

the hills. you can see when it comes into force, early doors on thursday into force, early doors on thursday into early doors on friday. if you are travelling, do bear that in mind. we will also have some snow in the forecast today. we have the heavy and persistent rain pushing southwards into southern scotland and northern ireland and across parts of england and wales. ahead of that, a lot of cloud, still mild and windy. behind it we are looking at clearer skies, sunny spells and wintry showers, increasingly to lower levels in the highlands. but across shetland in particular we have got another yellow warning from the met office for some significant snow, and also strong to gale force winds. it is also going to be windy in the north—east. so that's not will be long. temperatures today, colder in the north, as you would expect. ahead of the rain it is going to be mild. through this evening and overnight the rain eventually makes it into southern england, south wales, and clears into the channel islands. clearer

skies behind. at the same time we have an —— a new weather front sinking south. it will bring some snow. some of that will be at lower levels and parts of scotland and potentially also into northern ireland. the wind is going to drop but under those clear skies it is going to be cold and there is the risk of ice and frost. you can see where we have got the cloud remaining at the far south—west, temperatures are holding up. this is where we will see some rain tomorrow. increasing cloud through the day. for most tomorrow it will be dry, there will be sunny spells and a few wintry showers. lighter winds. temperature wise, for all of us it is going to be a cold day. you will notice it across england and wales, where it has been so mild. it is after that we have got a front starting to return from the south—west. behind the leading age it is likely to be rain and blustery day. on the leading edge this is where we have a met office warning

for the chance of snow. this could still change, the timing and position of it, but this is what we think at the moment, getting into southern scotland. more on that later. sounds like a tricky one to keep track of? it really is. because the front is moving back north. we have got it wrapped around an area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. looks like it is going to push eased, it is all going on. thank you for explaining. cheers. as we approach one year since the tragic murder of brianna ghey, her mum esther is calling for restrictions on what children under 16 can access on their mobile phones. as part of the new online safety laws, the independent regulator ofcom has been working with social media sites to put measures in place to protect users from harmful content. ofcom's chief executive, dame melanie dawes, joins us now. thank you forjoining us. i wonder

whether we could just talk about a couple of the things that brianna ghey�*s mum has made public. to start with, about phones, she thinks all young people under 16 should have safe phones that can't have the kind of social media apps on them that many of them have got used to. what do you make of that idea? i know a lot of mums and dads would agree. thank you for having me on the show. my thank you for having me on the show. my heart goes out to breanna's family. i think what her mum done —— is done in the past few days and getting these issues high up the agenda is very important. banning under 16 is from being on social media would be a really big step and ultimately it would be one for our politicians. as the regulator what we are doing at ofcom is using the new powers that we have been given to create a safer internet day for teenagers. we want to see much more steps to tackle self—harm material.

we don't want pornography to be accessible to our kids. and we want to make sure that adults who wish you ham can't contact you if you are under 16. we are taking on those things as quickly as we can. it is not u- things as quickly as we can. it is not up to _ things as quickly as we can. it is not up to you — things as quickly as we can. it is rrot up to you to _ things as quickly as we can. it is not up to you to ban _ things as quickly as we can. it is not up to you to ban kids from having smart smartphones. what about the other idea, that mums and dads should at least have software on their own phones that allow them to see what their kids are looking at, so that if they then start looking up so that if they then start looking up something which is potentially damaging, mums and dads will get an alert. is that something you can deal with? i alert. is that something you can deal with?— alert. is that something you can deal with? ~' ,., , dealwith? i think getting parents involved can _ dealwith? i think getting parents involved can really _ dealwith? i think getting parents involved can really help. - dealwith? i think getting parents involved can really help. there i deal with? i think getting parents| involved can really help. there are parental controls on some of the apps. that is one of the areas we will be looking at. i think also giving children more control over what is going on. when i speak to teenagers that is what they say. they say they want to be able to block things they don't want. they feel that they can't report problems at the moment. that there is nobody listening, they never get any comeback. giving parents and kids more control is definitely part of the picture. i

more control is definitely part of the picture-— the picture. i think a lot of us as arents the picture. i think a lot of us as parents who _ the picture. i think a lot of us as parents who were _ the picture. i think a lot of us as parents who were a _ the picture. i think a lot of us as parents who were a bit - the picture. i think a lot of us as parents who were a bit confused about this, you are saying it is up to the politicians to make the big calls and change the law, while rishi sunak said yesterday in an interview, and i will quote, that they have, that he has given you, as they have, that he has given you, as the regulator, tough new powers to control what is exposed to children online. it seems like he is saying it is your call, you say it is his call, in the meantime nothing much changes, i guess?— changes, i guess? things are going to chance changes, i guess? things are going to change and _ changes, i guess? things are going to change and we _ changes, i guess? things are going to change and we are _ changes, i guess? things are going to change and we are calling i changes, i guess? things are going to change and we are calling on i to change and we are calling on social media and we are working very intensely with them already to introduce a change. only last week we saw instagram adopting some of the measures we set out in our blueprint published in november. and already we are starting to see that acted on. there is a lot further to go. of the prime minister is right. we have tough new powers, ofcom. we are determined to use them. we are moving very fast. and we will make a difference. the question of banning under 16s from mobile phones would

go a step further. but what we are already up to in the uk goes further than any other country. and any regulator like ofcom, you have experience and a huge commitment to make a difference. we experience and a huge commitment to make a difference.— make a difference. we are going to be 'oined make a difference. we are going to be joined on _ make a difference. we are going to be joined on the _ make a difference. we are going to be joined on the sofa _ make a difference. we are going to be joined on the sofa shortly i make a difference. we are going to be joined on the sofa shortly by i be joined on the sofa shortly by brianna ghey�*s mum esther and we will hear more about her ideas on what you would like. i know she suddenly finds herself in this position where she has a voice, she has a profile, and she wants to raise these issues. if she was keen to meet with you at ofcom, is that something that you would like to do too? ~ , ,., , ., , something that you would like to do too? absolutely. i would be so happy too? absolutely. i would be so happy to meet her- — too? absolutely. i would be so happy to meet her. obviously _ too? absolutely. i would be so happy to meet her. obviously it _ too? absolutely. i would be so happy to meet her. obviously it is _ too? absolutely. i would be so happy to meet her. obviously it is very i to meet her. obviously it is very much for her but if she wanted to get in touch. i really admire what he is doing her. she and other parents of children who have had terrible experiences online, children who have lost their lives, have done so much to bring these issues to our attention, and i really do applaud what they have been doing. we really do applaud what they have been doing-— really do applaud what they have been doin:. ~ , ., ., been doing. we will put that to her when she is — been doing. we will put that to her when she is here _ been doing. we will put that to her when she is here and _ been doing. we will put that to her when she is here and get _ been doing. we will put that to her when she is here and get her i when she is here and get her reaction. in terms of the online

safety bill, we have talked about it for so long. it feels like we have talked about it for years. how confident are you that it gives you the powers, actually, to use your teeth and make a difference? you have got, for example, the power to impose biggerfines on have got, for example, the power to impose bigger fines on social media companies. are they big enough? yeah, absolutely. we think we have got pretty strong powers. pretty strong? well, very strong, actually. we can find 10% of local revenue. we can get the information we need. we are already starting that. what we have to do now is get the detail of these lows put into place because you have to get that detail right. that will take a year or so. we are not waiting. i am calling on the industry not to wait. there is no reason. our blueprint is already published for consultation. they can start to act now. i don't think there is anybody who feels that action is now not needed, and indeed action is now not needed, and indeed a culture change, actually, on the

part of these companies. but a culture change, actually, on the part of these companies.- a culture change, actually, on the part of these companies. but can you understand why _ part of these companies. but can you understand why mums _ part of these companies. but can you understand why mums and _ part of these companies. but can you understand why mums and dads, i understand why mums and dads, sitting at the breakfast table this morning with their kids looking at their phone, then the kids go to school with their phone, then they come back go to their bedroom with their phone, hear all this talk about improving, changing culture and changing the law, but don't really see any real life change in their households?— really see any real life change in their households? look, it has taken a ve lona their households? look, it has taken a very long time _ their households? look, it has taken a very long time for _ their households? look, it has taken a very long time for any _ their households? look, it has taken a very long time for any country i their households? look, it has taken a very long time for any country to i a very long time for any country to get round to regulating social media and we have a lot to fix, there is no question about that. i am a parent. i have seen my daughter growing up on social media. there are real benefits but there are huge risks as well. we are on this, we are moving really fast. we have set out two blueprints. we have another one coming out in the spring. and we are already engaging with these companies to make sure they are in no doubt at all what we expect of them. ,, , ., �* , ., ., them. sure, but that's what i mean, another blueprint, _ them. sure, but that's what i mean, another blueprint, another - another blueprint, another blueprint, but at the end of the day for that family at the kitchen table this morning, no real change? the

"iie: laws were only passed at the end this morning, no real change? iie: laws were only passed at the end of october. you have seen quick action on the back of that. we came straight out with only a fortnight. we are moving as fast as we can. we are determined to make a difference. but i am not under any illusions about the scale of the task. it is a really important one. and i know how much it means to so many families across the country and all i can say is, in ofcom, you have got the experience and the determination. we are already achieving change. things are already achieving change. things are already achieving change. things are already changing. that needs to massively accelerate and we will hold the industry to account for that. over the next few months now, this is not something we have to wait for a long time for, but we are on this task. thank you very much indeed. after eight o'clock here in the programme we will be talking to brianna ghey�*s mum esther about the events of the last year and the last few days, and her response to what he has been

hearing from the authorities over the last 48 hours. it is exactly a year ago this week. just after ten minutes to eight. tributes have been paid to the dad's army star ian lavender, who has died at the age of 77. he was part of the classic sitcom for ten years and was the last surviving main cast member. let's take a look back at some of his memorable moments as the platoon member private pike. # who do you think you are kidding, mr hitler?# # whistle while you work, hitler is a twerp. # he's half barmy, so's his army, whistle while you...# your name will also go on the list. what is it? don't tell him, pike! pike! _ mr mainwaring? yes. please, can i be the driver? don't be absurd, pike. i've got a provisional licence. you wouldn't even know how to drive it. you can teach me how to drive. teach me how to drive, mr mainwaring, please? be quiet, boy.

of southern scotland and northern ireland and across parts of england and wales. ahead, cloudy, mild and blustery, behind it clearer skies and sunshine with wintry showers. all of the details later. it's tuesday 6th february. our main story. king charles will step back from some of his royal duties as he begins his treatment for cancer. buckingham palace announced the king's diagnosis, and said while it's not prostate cancer, it was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. the prime minister says the cancer has been caught early and all our thoughts are with him. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this was the last time we saw the king in public — on sunday, going to church with queen camilla on the sandringham estate in norfolk. just 17 months into his reign, he now faces a serious health challenge. just over a week ago, the king left this private hospital in central london,

where he'd spent three nights being treated for an enlarged prostate. we now know, during his stay here, cancer was discovered. in a statement, buckingham palace said... although open about his diagnosis, the type of cancer the king has will be kept private, as will the nature of his treatment. all of his public engagements have been cancelled. his son, the duke of sussex, is expected to visit him this week, travelling to the uk from his home in california to see his father, who contacted prince harry personally with news of the diagnosis. it is the first time harry has seen

the king since the coronation. in times of crisis, families do come together, and i think everyone will be happy to see that. i think, you know, there is a sort of sense of business as usual going on — that's very much a message that sort of the palace is trying to put out. but if, along the way, we can see some bridges being built, then that's got to be a good thing. but it will now be down to other working members of the royalfamily to pick up some of the king's work. his wife, queen camilla, has done a number of her own engagements in recent weeks, but may now find herself doing some of her husband's duties, too. it will be the same for the king's son, the prince of wales, who himself has been away from royal engagements for almost a month following his wife's stay in hospital after surgery. he is due to return to public duty tomorrow in windsor and london.

this is going to be a testing time for the king and the wider royal family, as they balance personal, private challenges with the need to continue with public duties. daniela relph, bbc news. charlotte gallagher is outside buckingham palace for us now. morning, charlotte. what more can you tell us about how this diagnosis might affect the king's daily duties from now on?— from now on? morning, sally. although _ from now on? morning, sally. although we _ from now on? morning, sally. although we are _ from now on? morning, sally. although we are not _ from now on? morning, sally. although we are not going i from now on? morning, sally. although we are not going to l from now on? morning, sally. i although we are not going to see the king out and about doing public duties, the behind—the—scenes work is going to be carrying on. he will be performing his constitutional role as head of state. what that means is the king will be reviewing paperwork, signing documents, still be having private meetings including with the prime minister. if he wasn't able to do those functions,

there is a constitutional mechanism which can come into play and that is called councillors of state, that is when other members of the royal family step up for the monarchy and act on their behalf. so currently they would be the queen, prince william, prince edward, and princess anne. they would not be prince harry or prince andrew because they are not working members of the royal family. however in this case, the buckingham palace has said that they are not needed and the king will still be carrying out official duties. prince william has taken a breakfrom public duties. prince william has taken a break from public duties following his wife's surgery, he will be returning to them this week and see him out and about tomorrow in windsor and london. charlotte, thank ou. world leaders have been sending their best wishes to the king, including us presidentjoe biden, and french president emmanuel macron. this morning the prime minister rishi sunak has been speaking to bbc radio. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. he is in downing street. what did the prime minister have to say? morning, jon. warm wishes from rishi

of cancer. it's also a disease that disproportionately affects older people. a third of all diagnoses are made in people over the age of 75. there are 200 different types of cancer, the most common breast, lung, boweland cancer, the most common breast, lung, bowel and prostate. cancer, the most common breast, lung, boweland prostate. forall those the treatment options of broadly similar, a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, in isolation or combined. each cancer is treated differently depending on what kind of cancer it is and where it is. it doesn't matter who you are, anyone being told that they have cancer, that's going to be a difficult conversation. you are right, the king has been praised by charities and cancer experts are being very open about his diagnosis. that is important because it gets people talking and thinking about it. they have reminded us that an early diagnosis is key to a good outcome. the earlier you are diagnosed, the

better the chance of a good outcome and the more treatment options available. there will be families all over the uk who are going through similar things. yes, all over the uk who are going through similarthings. yes, it affects so many people in this country. thank you very much, don. more news to tell you, sally has the latest on the manhunt in london. police have arrested and hailed a 22—year—old man on suspicion of assisting the alleged clapham chemical attacker abdul ezedi. he has been on the run since a woman and her two young daughters were injured in south london last wednesday. our home editor mark easton has the latest. a new picture of the afghan refugee who fled the scene of the clapham corrosive chemical attack. abdul shakoor ezedi, identified on london's southwark bridge at 9.50pm on wednesday night. but since then, nothing. ezedi's car recovered from the scene has been minutely examined by a forensics team. inside the vehicle, officers found ezedi's mobile phone, but while that helps provide

evidence, it also means police are much more reliant on cctv footage to track their target's movements. it takes a long time to track cctv because you have to work out which way he's gone. hundreds and hundreds of hours of cctv painstakingly gone through. we've got support and assistance from our counter—terrorism fugitive teams who are experts in this, along with our experts in specialist crime. so we are tracking him down and we will continue to do so. will you get him? i'm as confident as i can be, mark, that we will, yes. police are trying to work out the relationship between ezedi and the woman he attacked. she suffered serious burns from a powerful, corrosive alkali. still critically ill in hospital, unable to communicate, she has life—changing injuries to her face and is at risk of losing sight in her right eye. the two children are now out of hospital and being cared for, but the trail of their attacker has gone cold. in one of the most surveilled cities in the world, a man with a serious facial injury

whose picture's been all over the media and apparently without access to a mobile phone or cash, well, he's simply vanished. a 22—year—old has been arrested on suspicion of helping ezedi evade capture. but the met�*s specialist manhunt team says if he's alive and being supported, it could be some time before they finally get their man. mark easton, bbc news, scotland yard. a year after the devastating earthquakes that hit southern turkey and northern syria, the living conditions for those who survived are still difficult and dangerous. more than 55,000 people were killed and millions were displaced. one year on, many families are still living in tents and containers, while children are going to makeshift schools. a british cargo ship has been attacked in the red sea overnight. the vessel was positioned off the west coast of yemen when it was hitjust after midnight. no group has claimed responsibility.

it comes following weeks of attacks on vessels in the red sea by iranian—backed group, the houthis. the energy giant bp have published details of their profits for the last year. nina is here with the details. we are used to seeing big numbers from these companies, aren't we? yes, we are, thank you, sally. we all know this name, bp, the energy titan. they made £11 billion in profit last year. a lot of money but less than half the profit of the year before. it's tricky to directly compare profits to earlier years. global lockdowns, then russia's invasion of ukraine, saw the value of energy dip then peak. but under new leadership there are some big decisions ahead for bp, including how closely to stick with their controversial and ambitious green strategy. it's worth a reminder bp might argue they do contribute a lot of tax, they don't set the value of energy, nor do they decide

what we pay for it. nevertheless, on the day the final £299 payments are being made to households that need it most, profits of £11 billion can make for uneasy reading. work has begun to demolish an unauthorised spa building at the home of captain sir tom moore's daughter in bedfordshire. hannah ingram—moore and her husband colin lost an appeal in october against an order to remove the building. they claimed the spa pool would offer "rehabilitation sessions" but the proposals were refused by a planning inspector. coming up to quarter past eight. in a couple of minutes we will be joined by esther ghey, the mother of brianna ghey, whose story you will have been aware of and shocked by, i did in warrington. we will be speaking to her about the impact on

herfamily —— murdered in warrington. we will talk to esther about what she wants to see happen nextin about what she wants to see happen next in terms of online safety and children. �* , ., children. let's get the weather first with carol. _ good morning. we have got some snow in the forecast, in shetland there will be significant snow and gates blowing snow. thursday and friday, england and wales are likely to see the snow. we might see some in northern ireland and scotland as well. something we are keeping a close eye on. we have heavy rain at the moment moving southern areas and leaving brighter skies behind, windier in shetland. northern ireland will brighter up as will northern england, heavy rain coming in across northern wales and north—west england, heading towards yorkshire. south of that, a lot of cloud around, blustery winds a bit

of drizzle. the rain will push southwards today, behind a brightening up in northern england and northern ireland, with some sunshine. we are looking at gales across north—east scotland and snow. something to bear in mind if you are travelling. much colds a day behind the weather front, travelling. much colds a day behind the weatherfront, mild travelling. much colds a day behind the weather front, mild ahead of it. the evening and overnight, the rain makes it through into the english channel. we have a new weatherfront bringing more snow from the north—west of scotland heading south—east, getting into northern ireland. you will see some of this at lower levels. the risk of ice and widespread frost. tomorrow drier and brighterfor most of widespread frost. tomorrow drier and brighter for most of us. later on we see the snow from the south. it's been nearly one year since the lives of brianna ghey�*s family were changed forever after the 16—year—old was murdered in a warrington park. last week the two teenagers

who killed brianna were sentenced to life in prison. brianna's mum, esther ghey, joins us now. good morning, esther, thank you so much for coming in to talk to us. i know the last few days have been a whirlwind for you of dealing with the sentencing, talking to people like us. how are you? i’m the sentencing, talking to people like us. how are you?— the sentencing, talking to people like us. how are you? i'm ok, thank ou, like us. how are you? i'm ok, thank you. yeah- — like us. how are you? i'm ok, thank you. yeah- i'm _ like us. how are you? i'm ok, thank you, yeah. i'm keeping _ like us. how are you? i'm ok, thank you, yeah. i'm keeping busy - like us. how are you? i'm ok, thank you, yeah. i'm keeping busy and i you, yeah. i'm keeping busy and keeping positive, that's helping me. i'm feeling all right, yes. find i'm feeling all right, yes. and doinu i'm feeling all right, yes. and doing that — i'm feeling all right, yes. and doing that in _ i'm feeling all right, yes. and doing that in brianna's name, that's what _ doing that in brianna's name, that's what this— doing that in brianna's name, that's what this is— doing that in brianna's name, that's what this is all about.— what this is all about. definitely, about creating _ what this is all about. definitely, about creating a _ what this is all about. definitely, about creating a legacy - what this is all about. definitely, about creating a legacy for i what this is all about. definitely, i about creating a legacy for brianna and to helping other people that are struggling the way that she was struggling. brianna struggled with her mental health, she had anxiety, as i've mentioned before, she was self harming, she had an eating disorder, and i don't think she was the only one. many parents were

were searched up to the running up of brianna's death, it could be flagged on a parent phone. and then the parents are aware of concerning things that children are looking at. in the last few minutes rishi sunak has been asked about you and your campaign on the bbc. i think we can hearfrom him now. first campaign on the bbc. i think we can hear from him now.— hear from him now. first thing to sa is m hear from him now. first thing to say is my thoughts _ hear from him now. first thing to say is my thoughts are _ hear from him now. first thing to say is my thoughts are with i say is my thoughts are with brianna's _ say is my thoughts are with brianna's family. unspeakable, unspeakable, awful act. and all our thoughts _ unspeakable, awful act. and all our thoughts will be with them and we can't change the past but hopefully the recent sentencing provides some sense _ the recent sentencing provides some sense of— the recent sentencing provides some sense ofjustice. the other thing to say is _ sense ofjustice. the other thing to say is how— sense ofjustice. the other thing to say is how brianna's mother has responded — say is how brianna's mother has responded in the face of this tragedy, _ responded in the face of this tragedy, with empathy and compassion, i think is quite frankly extraordinary. and it isjust a mark of her. _ extraordinary. and it isjust a mark of her. the — extraordinary. and it isjust a mark of her, the enormous amount of humility— of her, the enormous amount of humility in— of her, the enormous amount of humility in the face of something which _ humility in the face of something which is — humility in the face of something which is the worst of humanity, —— the enormous amount of humanity. as

social media which is safe for children, they are still going to see people's unrealistic perfect lies and that's going to impact how they feel about their body image, how they are coming across, and they will still be suffering with anxiety and depression and insomnia from looking at screens. so i think it's not enough. i think that we do need something a little bit more drastic. the children. aha, something a little bit more drastic. the children-— something a little bit more drastic. the children. a law change, another one? yeah- — the children. a law change, another one? yeah- we _ the children. a law change, another one? yeah. we have _ the children. a law change, another one? yeah. we have spoken - the children. a law change, another one? yeah. we have spoken to i the children. a law change, another l one? yeah. we have spoken to ofcom this morning. — one? yeah. we have spoken to ofcom this morning, there _ one? yeah. we have spoken to ofcom this morning, there chief— one? iez—“i we have spoken to ofcom this morning, there chief executive, she also said she has got enormous respect the eu and the way you are campaigning. she said she would be willing to talk to you about the changes you want to see, what would you say to that? i changes you want to see, what would you say to that?— you say to that? i would really appreciate _ you say to that? i would really appreciate the _ you say to that? i would really appreciate the opportunity - you say to that? i would really appreciate the opportunity to l you say to that? i would really l appreciate the opportunity to sit down and have a talk about it. it is important to understand other people's opinions on things, it's good to have a good debate, that's how you move forward. that's how you

strength of purpose this morning, just wanting to get out there and be part of the conversation, i mean, it must be utterly surreal for you, that all of a sudden the prime minister is talking about you and the head of ofcom says she will meet you. you never expected to be in this position. you. you never expected to be in this position-— this position. no, i didn't. the other campaign _ this position. no, i didn't. the other campaign that _ this position. no, i didn't. the other campaign that i - this position. no, i didn't. the other campaign that i have - this position. no, i didn't. the l other campaign that i have been running is the peace of mind campaign, which aims to get a mindfulness teacher in every school in warrington, then we are going to spread it across england. i'm in parliament tomorrow to watch our labour mp charlotte nicholls debate about it. i think that me having this mindfulness practice in place before what happened to brianna has built a level of mental resilience, and i really do feel that it has helped me. and i want other people to experience that as well, and be able to build mental resilience and empathy and self compassion. i think if you are fit mentally, you can

take anything on, really. so if you are fit mentally, you can take anything on, really. so you are in parliament _ take anything on, really. so you are in parliament tomorrow. _ take anything on, really. so you are in parliament tomorrow. would - take anything on, really. so you are in parliament tomorrow. would you | in parliament tomorrow. would you well, meeting with the prime minister tomorrow —— welcome prime minister tomorrow —— welcome prime minister meeting to talk about the changes he would —— you would want made? changes he would -- you would want made? , , changes he would -- you would want made?_ what - changes he would -- you would want made?_ what would l made? yes, definitely. what would ou sa to made? yes, definitely. what would you say to him? — made? yes, definitely. what would you say to him? i — made? yes, definitely. what would you say to him? i would _ made? yes, definitely. what would you say to him? i would say - made? yes, definitely. what would you say to him? i would say the - you say to him? i would say the online safety — you say to him? i would say the online safety bill— you say to him? i would say the online safety bill is _ you say to him? i would say the online safety bill is not - you say to him? i would say the online safety bill is not enough| you say to him? i would say the - online safety bill is not enough and we need to do something more drastic to protect children right now. if there is a chance of meeting him, i will have a bit more of a think tonight. d0 will have a bit more of a think toniaht. ,, ., will have a bit more of a think toniaht. i. «i ., ., «i will have a bit more of a think toniaht. i. «i . «i tonight. do you think looking back riaht now tonight. do you think looking back right now that _ tonight. do you think looking back right now that a _ tonight. do you think looking back right now that a mobile _ tonight. do you think looking back right now that a mobile phone - tonight. do you think looking back| right now that a mobile phone was the start of all of this, content on a mobile phone? it started all of this? �* ., , this? i'm not sure whether it started it — this? i'm not sure whether it started it all. _ this? i'm not sure whether it started it all. but _ this? i'm not sure whether it started it all. but it - this? i'm not sure whether it| started it all. but it definitely different —— didn't help. i think the content they were looking at online, it probably fed what was already there. but, yes, ithink

that mobile phones have a lot to answer for that mobile phones have a lot to answerfor and it's notjust in that mobile phones have a lot to answer for and it's notjust in the case of brianna, it's in the case of mental health are so many people across the country. irate mental health are so many people across the country.— mental health are so many people across the country. we have talked about mindfulness, _ across the country. we have talked about mindfulness, in _ across the country. we have talked about mindfulness, in schools, - about mindfulness, in schools, people watching this morning say, i don't really know what mindfulness is, explain what it is in a practical way, what would you like to see being taught to kids? i think mindfulness _ to see being taught to kids? i think mindfulness needs _ to see being taught to kids? i think mindfulness needs to _ to see being taught to kids? i think mindfulness needs to be _ to see being taught to kids? i in “ia; mindfulness needs to be embedded in every school. there's so much time when they are taking the register, they could sit there and have five minutes of reflection. it's not all about meditation, although i like to meditate every morning. but it's, it's building mentalfitness. the same way that if you would go to the gym and build muscles by using heavier weights, gym and build muscles by using heavierweights, is gym and build muscles by using heavier weights, is the same kind of thing. it'sjust exercise heavier weights, is the same kind of thing. it's just exercise for your brain. it can increase empathy and self compassion. i think mental

resilience is such a big one because we are not feeling very resilient at this moment in time. find we are not feeling very resilient at this moment in time.— we are not feeling very resilient at this moment in time. and that kind of meditation _ this moment in time. and that kind of meditation and _ this moment in time. and that kind of meditation and mental _ this moment in time. and that kind of meditation and mental health i of meditation and mental health worker you are talking about you do yourself, you are doing that you were doing before brianna was killed, it has been part of your life for a while?— killed, it has been part of your life for a while? yes, i have been practising — life for a while? yes, i have been practising on _ life for a while? yes, i have been practising on enough _ life for a while? yes, i have been practising on enough for - life for a while? yes, i have been practising on enough for eight. life for a while? yes, i have been i practising on enough for eight now. —— on and off. for eight years now. it has helped me during the most difficult time of my life.— it has helped me during the most difficult time of my life. thank you so much for _ difficult time of my life. thank you so much for talking _ difficult time of my life. thank you so much for talking to _ difficult time of my life. thank you so much for talking to us - difficult time of my life. thank you so much for talking to us today, i so much for talking to us today, esther. i know lots of people watching will be staggered by your resilience and empathy and i promise you, we will be talking to number 10 today to find out if the prime minister is available to see you tomorrow. minister is available to see you tomorrow— minister is available to see you tomorrow. . «i , ., ., . tomorrow. thank you for having me on, it's tomorrow. thank you for having me on. it's been _ tomorrow. thank you for having me on. it's been a _ tomorrow. thank you for having me on, it's been a pleasure. _ tomorrow. thank you for having me on, it's been a pleasure. thank- on, it's been a pleasure. thank you so much, we are amazed by you. i so much, we are amazed by you. you are watching breakfast on bbc news. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc

london, i'm tolu adeoye. in clapham on a mother and her daughters, say they've found the mobile phone of the suspect. a nationwide manhunt�*s now in it's sixth day for abdul shokoor ezedi. police say the mother may have lost sight in one eye. yesterday a man arrested for assisting an offender was bailed. a 21—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a stabbing in southgate in north london. emergency services were called to the attack at queen elizabeth's drive, just after 2pm on sunday. the victim — a 37—year—old man — died later that day in hospital. lambeth council tenants are being threatened with eviction for failing to pay their heating bills. residents were under a communal heating agreement to keep their payments at a set amount. but last year high fuel prices meant their rates rose sharply. they now face losing their tenancy if they can't pay up.

i don't believe they can evict someone for not being able to pay their heating. because if you weren't on a heat network, and you weren't paying lambeth for your heating, you'd be paying british gas or whoever, british gas cannot evict you because you can't afford to pay your heating. they may be able to cut you off, but they cannot chuck you out of your house, so how can they chuck tenants out of social housing because they cannot afford to pay for their heating? well, in a statement lambeth council said, "we provided an extra half a million pounds in funding for our most vulnerable tenants, and have been working with residents to create extended payment plans. we cannot accept non—payment, as if not paid, they will be classed as rent arrears." one of london's overground stations has had a glow up paying homage to it's victorian history. disused rooms have been transformed into a new community space and waiting room at tottenham's bruce grove station. it was originally on the stoke newington & edmonton railway opening in 1872. you can read more about the story on our website.

that takes us to a look at the tubes. there's a minor delays on central line. all services running well. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it certainly is a mild start to the day. a lot of cloud around once again. still breezy, with some rain arriving later on in the day. for today though there will be some brighter spells, but mostly cloudy, and largely dry too. but where the cloud is thick enough, once again the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. temperatures by the afternoon reaching the low teens, maybe 13 or 14 celsius. this evening the winds pick up further and we'll see some arriving from the north. but clearing southwards by the end of the night, with clearer skies, allowing temperatures to fall. it will be a chilly night and a chillier start to the day tomorrow. whilst tomorrow will be largely dry, it does become more unsettled again later in the week. some uncertainty still that an area of low pressure will bring outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds. so, a drier day tomorrow, coolertoo, milderagain, and much more unsettled from thursday onwards,

with outbreaks of rain at times and strong winds as well. keep up—to—date with the forecast. i'll be back with the next update from bbc london in half an hour. have a very good morning. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's return to our main story, and king charles has spent the night at home after beginning outpatient cancer treatment. it's after buckingham palace released a statement revealing his cancer diagnosis. we'rejoined now by kristina kyriacou, who is the former communications secretary for the king. morning to you. obviously it has been a few hours since we heard of his nose. the king's recent health diagnosis. you know the man very

well. —— we heard this news. how will he be handling it? i well. -- we heard this news. how will he be handling it?— will he be handling it? i feel he will he be handling it? i feel he will be handling _ will he be handling it? i feel he will be handling it _ will he be handling it? i feel he will be handling it with - will he be handling it? i feel he will be handling it with dignity l will he be handling it? i feel he i will be handling it with dignity and decorum. it will be a challenge he needs to get through. i think there will be positivity. it will be keeping himself busy, looking at paperwork, and he won't want an interruption in service as far as possible. i appreciate he has had to cancel engagement and let other members of the royal family step to the fore but he won't want an interruption in service. he will be doing as much as possible and taking care of business.— care of business. also, he has been ve 0 en care of business. also, he has been very open about _ care of business. also, he has been very open about his _ care of business. also, he has been very open about his health. - care of business. also, he has been very open about his health. how- very open about his health. how unusual is that for a member of the royalfamily? i unusual is that for a member of the royal family?— royal family? i think it's absolutely _ royal family? i think it's absolutely key. - royal family? i think it's absolutely key. the i royal family? i think it's absolutely key. the way| royal family? i think it's _ absolutely key. the way buckingham palace have dealt with this and the king has dealt with this, i think, is correct in the modern world. cancer is an illness that isn't going away. it is affecting more and more people across the world. he is patron of macmillan can trick care.

and, you know, he has wanted to be open, to almost normalise. —— cancer care. he has the best medical care, the best food, and excellent diet, he is physically fit, but he still has been diagnosed with cancer. and he will want people to know that thatis he will want people to know that that is what he has got. he has already raised awareness of an enlarged prostate. that has caused many other people to sort of look at their own symptoms and seek help and medical advice. and i think it's correct that buckingham palace have said that he has cancer. they have not given any further detail. and that feels right to me. the king won't want to have any more attention on him than is absolutely necessary. people want to still be dealing with the concerns of his public. and being empathetic to his public, ratherthan public. and being empathetic to his public, rather than getting into the

nuts and bolts of exactly what he has got, where he is being treated, how he is being treated. they have given enough detail, now let's get on with him getting better and getting back to being the king that he is. i «i ., . ,, he is. and i know that while you ourself he is. and i know that while you yourself are _ he is. and i know that while you yourself are working _ he is. and i know that while you yourself are working with i he is. and i know that while you yourself are working with king l yourself are working with king charles, you are diagnosed with cancer and then treated. how did he respond? hot response that he gave to you at that time? how much support? i to you at that time? how much su . oft? . ., , to you at that time? how much su ort? . ., to you at that time? how much su oft? . ., ., i’ to you at that time? how much su--ort? . ., ., «i ., ., support? i chose to work throughout the whole of — support? i chose to work throughout the whole of my _ support? i chose to work throughout the whole of my treatment, - support? i chose to work throughout the whole of my treatment, not i the whole of my treatment, not taking time off. most of the household didn't know that i was undergoing treatment. i had 56 sessions of radiotherapy, one after the other, in quick succession, every single day. but i chose to work. and eventually, i think word got to the king that i was in. and i worked very, very closely with the king. and he couldn't believe it. i

chose to be positive. tojust king. and he couldn't believe it. i chose to be positive. to just get on with business because i could. i chose to still be as energetic and vibrant as i possibly could be. and he was so wonderfully empathetic without being smothering. he wanted to know that i had everything i needed. he wanted to know if there was anything he could do in terms of care orfood, or was anything he could do in terms of care or food, or relaxation. was anything he could do in terms of care orfood, or relaxation. he's was anything he could do in terms of care or food, or relaxation. he's a wonderful, wonderful educator in terms of all sorts of things. whether it be homeopathy and alternative medicines. and i suspect now he will come out of this cancer diagnosis enlightened rather than frightened, because he will be curious. he is taking traditional treatment, but i am sure he will be looking at things like acupuncture, and wonderful things that actually assisted me through my own treatment. but he was so empathetic,

i couldn't have asked for more. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. thank you.— thank you so much for talking to us this morning. thank you. thank you, sall . this morning. thank you. thank you, sally. enlightened _ this morning. thank you. thank you, sally. enlightened rather— this morning. thank you. thank you, sally. enlightened rather than i sally. enlightened rather than frightened. — sally. enlightened rather than frightened, what _ sally. enlightened rather than frightened, what a _ sally. enlightened rather than frightened, what a lovely i sally. enlightened rather than i frightened, what a lovely phrase. last year the children's author michael morpurgo wrote a book called the boy who would be king based on the boy who would be king based on the life of then prince charles, now king charles. we're joined now by the children's author and friend of the king, sir michael morpurgo. thank you for being with us this morning. i know you are also a friend of the king. you know him well. you have been through this yourself not so long ago?- yourself not so long ago? well, strangely. _ yourself not so long ago? well, strangely. i— yourself not so long ago? well, strangely, i have _ yourself not so long ago? well, strangely, i have been - yourself not so long ago? well, strangely, i have been through| yourself not so long ago? -ii strangely, i have been through both the things he has been through. the enlarged prostate. but before that, yes, i had a cancer in my lungs. —— larynx. i am what is called a survivor. that was five or six years

ago. i've stopped counting now. it was one of those, i suppose, moments in life when you have to confront of the deep issues, life and death, that's for sure. and it is also true that's for sure. and it is also true that you have to do that alone. every cancer sufferer knows that. but what's really important, i think, for the king is that we treat this in the same way that he has treated us. he has done a lot of caring in his life, which involves a lot of stress, a lot of hard work. but he is a man with a huge empathy and connection to people. he always wants to know more. this takes a lot out of you. i think ourjob now, the people's job, out of you. i think ourjob now, the people'sjob, is due in a way let him know through our affection that we are with him. yes, you do it

alone. but i had family and friends. they get close enough to it but they know it is something you have to do. remarkably, i received a letterfrom the king, then prince charles, when he got to know that i had this cancer. a handwritten letter. well, for goodness sakes, i don't know him that well. i like to think that we are good friends but we don't know each other that well. and he reached out and wrote this handwritten letter. as some of you may know, his handwriting is not so easy to read! but i should —— but i shall trevor —— treasure the letter. i am just an ordinary member of the public. when i heard the news yesterday i thought to myself, i am hoping he is feeling in the country that there is this groundswell of appreciation of who he is, what he has done, what he means to us. and he should know

that. and if he is listening to this programme, sir, you need to know that. i programme, sir, you need to know that. . , ., ., . programme, sir, you need to know that. ., ., ., . i. . that. i was going to ask you that. if ou that. i was going to ask you that. if you were _ that. i was going to ask you that. if you were to — that. i was going to ask you that. if you were to put _ that. i was going to ask you that. if you were to put pen _ that. i was going to ask you that. if you were to put pen to - that. i was going to ask you that. if you were to put pen to paper. if you were to put pen to paper yourself, and i am sure your handwriting is perfect, if you were to put pen to paper and sent him a letter today, what would you be saying to his majesty? filth. letter today, what would you be saying to his majesty? saying to his ma'esty? oh, dear, i don't saying to his ma'esty? oh, dear, i am know— saying to his ma'esty? oh, dear, i don't know that i saying to his majesty? oh, dear, i don't know that until— saying to his majesty? oh, dear, i don't know that until i _ saying to his majesty? oh, dear, i don't know that until i start - don't know that until i start writing. it will be quite personal without being intrusive. to some extent it will be holding hands. it will be saying, why, i have been where you are now. it is his journey. but you know that there are lots of people, millions of people, who have been on this journey. lots of people, millions of people, who have been on thisjourney. and it's isolating. and it can be very frightening. but i know he is a very brave man. i know he will sort of, he will put up with the fact that diverts your life from the course that you thought was going to take. temporarily. you can rejoin healthy again. the other thing i would say somehow better than i am saying it now, because i could think about it,

is that you do have to put your trust in the people who are looking after you. they are just the most remarkable people. day in, day out, the nurses, the people who look after you, we smile at you when you come in, again and again and again, you are lying down there for your radiology, waiting for the operation, and they do it, they do it again and again and again. the success rate, and this is important, is getting better and better and better all the time. but we are, he, i think, is five years older than me. i have reached the huge 80, thanks to the people who have looked after myself. —— me. i remember the three nurses who looked after me. they all looked about 12 and a half! ijust they all looked about 12 and a half! i just could they all looked about 12 and a half! ijust could not believe how young, how enthusiastic, how friendly, how

wonderfully trained they were, how competent they were. and he will be surrounded by that. that is a great thing. he has to feel the effects and, he has to feel the expertise. michael, we were all remarking here on how well you are looking. it's good to see you on top form. i am sure the king will appreciate your kind thoughts. thank you forjoining us here on bbc breakfast. kind thoughts. thank you for 'oining us here on bbc breakfasti us here on bbc breakfast. michael morurro. morpurgo. all the best, bye—bye. for some professional footballers, joining an academy as a youngster is seen as just the start of their journey to making it on the pitch. but the sad reality is, the majority of academy players don't go on to play football professionally. every year more than three quarters of academy players between the ages of 13 and 16 are dropped from their clubs, with less than i% of academy players ever turning professional. but trent alexander—arnold's story is a rare one and an exception

to the rule. the footballer has made his way to the top of the sport after being trained through the liverpool academy. he started kicking a ball for the club's academy when he was six years old. and the liverpool star has gone on to win both the champions league and the fa cup with his boyhood club. last year on breakfast, trent alexander—arnold announced that he was launching the after academy, to ensure that young players that were released had somewhere to turn for support and to find employment. now as the firstjobs go live, i met trent at liverpool 5 academy, where it all began for him? these boys here, how good would they be to be here now? oh, they're the best in the country, really. yeah. some of the best talents in the country. so we could be watching,

like a future superstar? mm—hm. i'd like to think so. yeah. that's the point, really, isn't it, yeah? yeah. pressure, though, eh? imagine knowing that. i was excited. you never know. that's why you're a professional footballer. no, like, that's what you work hard for. you never think you'll be a superstar or you'll be like — because you're always so realistic and just you think you're so far away, but in reality, these are so close. they're so close. they must look at you and think, right, that's my goal, he's done it. but how do you balance that with, keep an eye on plan b? that's a tough question. my main first message would always be believe in yourself and believe that is achievable because, you know, iwould be doing them an injustice if i was to say anything else other than that,

because that's what i thought — well, i know — got me so far and got me to be where i am today. it was just having that self—belief and believing that i was able to do it without really any doubts. so i would say give it everything, but also just know that...how difficult it is. nathan coaches some of liverpool academy's youngest talents and knows what it feels like to be let go. there's lots of my friends who've had tough times, and if we're speaking about football, they'lljust disappear because they don't want to even be a part of the conversation. and i actually, i get that from the period of time where i weren't feeling great about the whole thing. so again, maybe it's — i believe it's down to the individual and how they cope with it. but i think through as much support as they could actually get really. when a player is let go, they have this world of skills that they might not realise they have at that point. but i imagine, in the trauma

of being let go, maybe the shock of being let go, and the disappointment and the anger, one thing that can really suffer is a player's mental health. what more needs to be done to protect them, so that perhaps if they need help, they will reach out? potentially, one of the problems. is i think you can migrate yourself through a through an academy and your whole personality i and sort of character can be wrapped up as a footballer. j you know, you lose your| identity of being the boy. it's the boy who plays football for whoever that might be. i so i think we probably need to look |a little bit at how we would protect| some of that identity, that it's not l all wrapped up as a footballer, i that you feel worth for being yourself and that football. is in addition to that. and i think that would go a long way to safeguarding mental health. i i think what alex mentioned about the identity is a massive point, because i felt like that i enjoyed it, but i knew i was known and was spoken about as, he's the lad that plays the academy.

you know, that's fine because i enjoyed it and it didn't mean anything to me. but if that was wiped away from me, you know, that would have crushed me. hey. trent. — what's happening — are you ok? if you wasn't a professional footballer, what— would you have been? i was always interested in the mentality and the mindsets side of things, just like, how different mindsets work and what it takes. so i think sports psychology, i would say. if a player in our squad isn't offered a pro contract, how could the after academy help them? support, because you put in so much it hurts you mentally, i'll be honest. from the lads that i've spoken to, people who have... ..came through the academy for ten, 12 years, like, my best mates, and that and they get released and it's like, i see him every single day my life and now i've got to carry on this journey without him.

and that was bad for me, and i was still coming in here and i was still living the dream, and he wasn't. so, everyone wants you to make it in football. but life is bigger than football and everyone just wants you to be successful in life. if that's football, then that's amazing. but if it's not, then, you know, try and make it elsewhere. you just focus on the football. i'll focus on on everything else after it. what's it like being back here with all these, like, young hopes and dreams just on the verge of success? what's this like for you to be able to talk to the lads today? it's unreal. incredible to be back here. honestly, it's fun. you're working so hard, you're so close and that, so you enjoy the journey, whether it's good, bad, every part of it enjoy it, because it's better than not being part of it at all. lads, can we show our appreciation with a round of applause _ for trent, please ? applause thank you.

it isa it is a really interesting way they handle it. lots of other clubs doing a similarjob to liverpool. one of the things that liverpool talked about was kind of not telling the academy players that they are going to be professional footballers, academy players that they are going to be professionalfootballers, but talking about their youth career and saying, we will train you to a certain point and then not promising anything beyond that. because i know everybody has these huge expectations, mums and dads very often. they get very involved in it because that dream is so close. as trent rightly points out, there are other ways to live. you have to have a life outside football. but watching _ a life outside football. but watching those _ a life outside football. eli watching those kids in the classroom, as they listened, the power of his position and how he's using it, it's brilliant.— using it, it's brilliant. yeah, they asked him _ using it, it's brilliant. yeah, they asked him lots _ using it, it's brilliant. yeah, they asked him lots of— using it, it's brilliant. yeah, they asked him lots of really - using it, it's brilliant. yeah, they asked him lots of really clever i asked him lots of really clever questions about plan b. maybe there is a little bit of a shift happening. we will keep an eye on this academy starting. roles that are open exclusively to former academy players will go live today on the professional footballers' association website.

roles that trent has been involved in finding. he is also sponsoring former players to get the business qualification as well, for people who perhaps want to get out of sport and do something entirely different. it is just after ten to nine. carol has got the weather. it is going to get a bit chilly, isn't it? it is turning colder, yes. good morning. what we have today is a weather front sinking south. it has been producing rain and it will move across parts of england and wales. behind it, brighter but colder with some snow showers. you can see this nicely on the emmas chart. look at the blues pushed south behind that weather front through today and tomorrow. —— air mass. this weather front was ensconced in northern and western scotland yesterday. it produced 150 millimetres of rainfall in parts of western scotland from early sunday. but it is moving

slowly south. i had about a lot of cloud, the odd spot of drizzle, brisk winds. behind it, clearer skies, brightening in northern ireland and northern england, wintry showers in the highlands. we also have an area of low pressure moving across shetland. that will produce significant snow today. and gaze across the north—east of scotland. that does mean the snow will be blowing. so, colder in the north, still in the mild air in the south. through this evening and overnight that weather front sinks down into the english channel. clearer skies behind. but then a new weather front comes in, introducing wintry showers to the north—west of scotland, sinking south east was. some of that snow will be getting down to lower levels in scotland, and possibly northern ireland. here we are looking at the risk of frost and also ice. come further south, it is going to be a colder night. you can see where we have the cloud in the rain in the far south—west and the channel islands, temperatures are holding up. that is how we start tomorrow. tomorrow will be largely dry. a fair bit of sunshine. it

won't be as windy. still a few wintry showers. the cloud is going to build from the south—west as we go through the day. you will notice the drop in temperatures across england and wales, especially compared to today. into single figures. we have lost the double figures. we have lost the double figures for most. that is because our weather front is now in the south but it is going to start moving northwards again. as it bums into the cold air, it will readily turn to snow. —— bumps. in the south of england, rain, blustery winds, but you can see where we are looking at the snow. this is the current thinking but it is not set in stone. it could change. the met office currently has a yellow weather warning in force. that is for these areas here, where we can have widely two to five centimetres of snow, ten to 20 on the hills, and currently it is valid from 3am on thursday to 3pm —— 3am on friday. if you are travelling, bearthis —— 3am on friday. if you are travelling, bear this in mind. i'll keep watching because there is likely to be further updates

on all of this. yellow is now. you don't want to go near that, do you. thank you. you have been watching too many carry on films. peter butterworth was known to legions of carry on fans for his comic turns in the hit film series. but before his comedy capers, he had played an extraordinary part in the second world war. newly released documents have revealed that peter had been a codewriter, and even escaped a german prison camp, inspiring the classic film the great escape. david sillito has been speaking to his son tyler about the new discoveries. great escape theme the national archive, and an exhibition of the documents telling the story of world war two's prisoners of war. you've got a photograph to show me here. including this newly

discovered photograph which has hidden behind it a secret. underneath it, hidden letter. oh, this is writing? it is writing, it is indeed. the photo, sent by prisoners, had a secret message in minuscule writing, and the exhibition reveals more about the men behind all of this, including one who went on to become a famous face in british cinema. if you're a fan of the carry on films, you'll recognise him — peter butterworth. welcome to paradise. here in carry on camping. and here, carry on up the khyber. don't worry — we'll save you some strawberry mousse! that's the new document that's been uncovered, isn't it? yeah, that's right. and for his son, tyler, the gradual release of his wartime records has been a revelation. that's his id paper, isn't it, from stalag luft 3? stalag luft 3 is a famous one, isn't it?

yeah, it's, erm, of course, it's the one where the great escape took place from. and also? the wooden horse escape. the wooden horse, for those who've not seen the film, was another famous escape when they tunnelled under a vaulting horse. are you honestly saying that peter butterworth of carry on up the khyber was involved in both the great escape and the wooden horse? yeah. yes, he was. military, me? certainly not! he played the daftest characters. and here he is, part of mi9? yes, well, that's the other side that nobody knew about. he was working for british intelligence, code writing. you're learning new stuff? yeah, yeah, all the time. here at the national archives, when they keep declassifying things, more things seem to bubble up. it's remarkable. did he talk about this to you? no, no, he didn't. he did suffer from what we all now call post—traumatic stress disorder. but i didn't know —

obviously he never said this to my sister and i, but my mother told me about it, about things that happened, especially when they were married, right at the start of their marriage after the war, where he'd suddenly leap out of bed at night and throw himself on the floor and start hiding. and she had to barricade the bedroom door because the staircase was outside, and he would have... and then he'd get back into bed and just go to sleep. my mother would lie there wide awake for the rest of the night. right, here we are, girls. and for fans of the carry ons, it's worth noting there was another prisoner in stalag luft 3 — talbot rothwell, who wrote the carry on scripts. the humour kind of had its kind of start in this place surrounded by watchtowers and guard dogs. but they worked out what made guys laugh. captain keen. and that was the funny thing. dad played these kind of bumbling characters that were always

getting things wrong. and there's this complete flip side of this man that was totally focused, writing code, working with his friends who were tunnelling on the other side of the compound, of the north compound. repent ye, before it is too late! having been through what he'd been through, i'm not surprised he had all sorts of different things going on in his mind and in his life. i mean, my mother told me that when they first bought the house that we grew up in, dad would religiously put on a dressing gown and walk around the garden in the morning, every morning, because he could. because here, he couldn't. those are the sort of things he brought back with him. but i didn't know about this until he was dead. you... so when he was growing up, dad was just an actor in some gloriously daft films. 50 years on, tyler now knows rather more about his famous father. david sillito, bbc news.
