good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. two leaders under pressure. keir starmer u—turns on a flagship labour policy, whilst rishi sunak asks for a meeting with brianna ghey�*s mother after a transgender joke made in parliament. protesters who climb on war memorials could be sent to jail, under new laws being put forward by the government. lots of you contacted us following our coverage about proposals to improve access to nhs dental appointments in england. i'll be going through your messages a little later. we are at a gritting station in one of the busiest motorways in britain and they have one job today, to keep the roads moving. a20 three degrees difference in

temperature north to south this morning. in the south we have rain but as it bumps into cold air especially in north wales and northern england it will turn to snow, disruptive on higher routes. in sport, england captain harry kane is on a mission to get young people thinking about, and prioritising their mental health. and prince william has a famous wingman as he returns to public engagements following the king's cancer diagnosis and his wife's surgery. it's thursday, 8th of february. labour is abandoning its promise to spend £28 billion a year on environmental projects if it wins the next election. prime minister rishi sunak is facing calls to apologise for comments he made about the labour leader's position on transgender people. he was speaking during prime minister's questions, when the mother of murdered transgender teenager brianna ghey was visiting the house of commons. let's get the latest

from chief political correspondent henry zeffman. two party leaders under pressure. we will begin with rishi sunak and the row around his comments and a request to apologise in the house of commons and outside. i was request to apologise in the house of commons and outside.— commons and outside. i was sitting in the press — commons and outside. i was sitting in the press gallery _ commons and outside. i was sitting in the press gallery yesterday - commons and outside. i was sitting in the press gallery yesterday at - commons and outside. i was sitting in the press gallery yesterday at prime minister's commons and outside. i —" : tit “i; in the press gallery yesterday at prime minister's questions commons and outside. i —" : tit “i; in the press gallery yesterday at prime minister's questions when commons and outside. i —" 3 tit “i; in the press gallery yesterday at prime minister's questions when this happened and it was a moment where the mood seemed to instantly shift. the air was almost sucked out of the chamber because while rishi sunak mocked keir starmer plenty of times on wednesday afternoons at prime minister's questions for his position on gender issues, he has never done so before when the mother of a murdered transgender child is on the parliamentary estate and for many people, most clearly keir starmer the labour leader, that was a step too far. he was visibly

furious when he demanded the prime minister apologise. downing street said they think it is legitimate for the prime minister to draw attention to what he sees as a u—turn by keir starmer. you saw that put by kemi badenoch, he said yesterday she thought keir starmer trivialised brianna ghey�*s murder. you can see downing street does not want to look callous and rishi sunak, under pressure not to appear callous, has invited esther ghey, and the family of brianna ghey to downing street for a meeting about online safety because the reason esther ghey was in parliament was to talk about mindfulness and more generally she is campaigning on online safety, which he says he wants to discuss with her. �* , . ~ which he says he wants to discuss with her. �*, ., ~ ., ,, with her. let's talk about sir keir starmer. there _ with her. let's talk about sir keir starmer. there have _ with her. let's talk about sir keir starmer. there have been - with her. let's talk about sir keir starmer. there have been many| starmer. there have been many interviews with the leader and one of the questions brought up is the

£28 billion green pledge and whether or not the party can commit. what are we going to hear now? for weeks if not months — are we going to hear now? for weeks if not months labour's _ are we going to hear now? for weeks if not months labour's position - are we going to hear now? for weeks if not months labour's position has . if not months labour's position has been clear as mud. rachel reeves has refused to use that 28 billion figure when keir starmer has said labour is still committed to it but today we will get a visual clarity and the official clarity will be the labour party is ditching that commitment. it is a big u—turn. it was a flagship labour announcement that they would spend £28 billion a year on green investment by the end of the parliament and that will now not be the case and they say they want to focus on outcomes rather than the amount they will spend. we will speak soon. we will be talking to the policing minister at 7.30 and talking to him about issues

surrounding the leader of the conservatives and something you are following this morning, charlie. it is what happens during protests. protesters who try to hide their identity, use flares or climb over war memorials could face jail or be fined under new government plans. police in england and wales will be given more powers to arrest but campaigners say it's a further clampdown on democratic rights. 0ur political correspondent hannah miller reports. protesters climbing a war memorial last year. police are unable to make arrests, leading to promises within government to act. today, ministers say they will make this kind of behaviour illegal, carrying a three—month sentence and a £1000 fine. among the other measures to be announced today, fines for protesters carrying flares or fireworks. and those using face coverings could be arrested if they fail to remove them when asked, as ministers claim they are being used by demonstrators to avoid being identified.

campaigners say it is an attack on their rights, the third time the government has cracked down on demonstrations in the past three years. we really have to think about balance and the trend that we have seen over the last three years of ever—decreasing thresholds for committing offences at protests, ever—increasing sentences. we are seeing people go to prison for years and years for protesting, for peacefully protesting. and we really need to think about the role of protesting in this country and understand it as a fundamental and essential and essential part of democracy. ministers point to these arrests ofjust stop 0il campaigners as a sign that recently announced laws are working. and say today's fresh announcement will help to fill in the gaps. but where some may see a welcome promise of an end to disruption, others fear an end to one of their long—standing rights. hannah miller, bbc

news, westminster. for the first time, global warming has exceeded 1.5 degrees above pre—industrial levels for an entire year, according to the eu's climate service. copernicus says the last eight months have been the hottest ever recorded. world leaders promised in 2015 to try to limit the long—term temperature rise, which is seen as crucial to help avoid the most damaging impacts of climate change. mps are being urged to make the assault or abuse of a shop worker a specific criminal offence. the co—op said there'd been a 44% increase in incidents of shoplifting and violence in its stores within the past year. a similar bill has been law in scotland since 2021. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has rejected a ceasefire deal, saying total victory in gaza is possible within months. hamas laid out a series of demands, which included israel's withdrawal from gaza and the release of hostages. the us secretary of

state antony blinken, who's visiting israel, says this does create the space for an agreement to be reached. voting has begun to elect a new government in pakistan. the run—up to the elections has been affected by violence and allegations of pre—poll rigging. it comes almost two years after the former prime minister, cricketer turned politician imran khan, was ousted in a no confidence vote. he is now in prison. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussain joins us from islamabad. voting has begun? voting has begun and the polls have been open a few hours and it comes when the country has completely shut down its mobile services. that comes despite assurances by the caretaker government they would not cut the internet but almost when the polls opened at eight o'clock local time you saw there was a cut. it seems at

least according to the interior ministry, that was done because of security concerns. we saw there were two blasts in a province yesterday killing almost 30 people which comes just ahead of the polls and there are concerns about security. there has been a ramp up of these attacks leading up to the polls. when you are talking about elections here you will wonder who will be contesting. the players here are not unknown to this country. the players here are not unknown to this country-— police searching for the man who is suspected of throwing corrosive chemicals at a woman in south london say that the pair had been in a relationship. a manhunt has been under way to find 35—year—old abdul ezedi since the attack in clapham last wednesday. 0ur reporter greg mckenziejoins us. take us through the latest information. the latest information

from new scotland yard is the suspect, 35—year—old abdul ezedi, was last seen at 11pm on wednesday along vauxhall bridge, about a mile along vauxhall bridge, about a mile along the river here in london. the suspect is wanted for questioning over the attempted murder, multiple attempted murder of the victim, a woman the police told us he was in a relationship with, and they think the motive for the chemical attack on her and two young children was the fact that relationship had broken down. the police have theories. 0ne broken down. the police have theories. one theory is he could be in the river thames. 0r theories. one theory is he could be in the river thames. or the other theory is he has simply left the country, the same way that he arrived, in a lorry. 0ne country, the same way that he arrived, in a lorry. one thing is sure. the search for the suspect has entered its eighth day.

the prince of wales has thanked the public for its support, after his father the king was diagnosed with cancer. william attended a fundraising dinner last night, his first event since stepping back last month when his wife, the princess of wales, had abdominal surgery. a warning that this report by our royal correspondent daniela relph contains flashing images. returning to royal duty — the prince of wales was at a fundraising dinner last night for the london air ambulance. and a first comment from prince william to the bbc during what is a challenging time for the family. your royal highness, how grateful are you for the public support you've received in recent weeks? we really appreciate all the messages. thank you. prince william is a former air ambulance pilot himself, so this event had personal meaning to him. and there was a touch of top gun glamour, too. tom cruise, the star guest and another experienced pilot in the room. the prince gave a speech to guests at the fundraiser — his first since his wife had surgery and news of his father's cancer

diagnosis was made public. l i'd like to take this opportunity. to say thank you also for the kind messages of support for catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. it means a great deal to us all. it's fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather medical focus, so i thought i'd come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all. laughter. while one prince was on duty, the other is already back home in the united states. prince harry spent around 45 minutes with his father at clarence house after the king's cancer diagnosis. he didn't meet his brother during his flying visit to the uk. the king is now on his sandringham estate in norfolk, away from the public gaze, where he'll spend much of the coming weeks. for his son, this will be a steady and managed return to royal duty. his priority remains supporting his wife as she recovers from surgery. but after the intensity of recent

weeks, last night, there were some light—hearted moments. i should also take this opportunity to give a mention to my - our - i fellow pilot tom cruise. tom, huge thanks for supporting us tonight. applause. and, tom, if you wouldn't mind not borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next mission impossible, it would be appreciated. it was a glamorous end to the prince of wales' first day back on royal duty. not all engagements are as glitzy as this one. but with the king and the princess of wales stepping back, the royal family need the profile and the pull of prince william. daniel relph, bbc news, central london. have you ever thought you could have the wrong matchsticks?

not really. a man spent eight years building a matchstick model of the eiffel tower in an attempt to win a guinness world record only to find out you used the wrong matchsticks. french model—enthusiast richard plaud, who had his hopes crushed after being told that his 23ft tower, made of more than 700,000 matches and 23kg of glue. the sticks he used were provided directly from a matchstick manufacturer and the rules specify that only "commercially available" matchsticks qualify for a record—breaker. not direct from the manufacturer. his work is going to be recognised, because he hopes he will put his tower on display at the paris 0lympics tower on display at the paris olympics in tower on display at the paris 0lympics injuly. olympics in july. it is 0lympics injuly. it is an amazing creation

regardless. do you think carol's weather reports would be invalid if she had the wrong pictures at the wrong time? good morning. definitely not. it is a lovely _ wrong time? good morning. definitely not. it is a lovely picture. _ wrong time? good morning. definitely not. it is a lovely picture. there - not. it is a lovely picture. there is snow in the forecast, notjust today but tonight and tomorrow. we have an easterly wind. some snow will be blowing, heaviest on higher ground, mainly in the north. northern ireland, north wales, also the midlands, northern england and scotland. we have a 23 degrees difference in temperature with —11 in a part of scotland and in the isles of scilly, currently 12 degrees. you can see where we have mild air, we are looking at rain but when it bumps into cold air, it will fall as snow. there are amber weather warnings in place. for the

northern half of wales, north—west shropshire, the peak district and some of the pennines. today we could have up to 25 centimetres of snow on the high roots. and with the wind blowing, it will be causing snow to drift. you can see the movement of the weather front bringing rain, snow eventually into northern england and northern ireland and later into southern scotland. ahead of it, some snow showers but also sunshine. behind it showers, but dry before the next band of rain comes our way. mild before the next band of rain comes ourway. mild in the before the next band of rain comes our way. mild in the south. cold everywhere else. particularly so if you are exposed to snow and wind. i will have a longer forecast in the programme later where i will take you through the forecast further. but remember snow tonight and tomorrow especially in the

but remember snow tonight and tomorrow especially in the north. worth getting the morning is out now. as caroljust mentioned, snow is expected in parts of northern england and north wales today, which could bring travel disruption. up to 25cm of snow is forecast across high ground in the peak district and southern pennines. 0ur north of england correspondent nick garnett is at a gritting centre in milnrow. good morning. preparations are under way there. is there snow at the moment? i am indoors because _ there snow at the moment? i am indoors because it _ there snow at the moment? i am indoors because it is _ there snow at the moment? i am indoors because it is cold - there snow at the moment? i —n indoors because it is cold outside and wanted to keep warm. no snow at the moment, it will come later. at this level, we do not know how bad it will be but we know that, at the foot of the m60 motorway, just before its highest point, 372 metres above sea level, which means there

will be snow there so the job of this station is to look after roads around here and to make sure they stay clear. national highways, their mainjob is to look stay clear. national highways, their main job is to look after arterial routes and the m60 to motorway, one of the busiest in britain, and what they used to clear it is this stuff, salt. possibly the most important thing you can have at the moment. it is the only thing that will keep and stop snow from staying on it. the person whose job it is to keep it going is simon thain. it is a huge amount of pressure on you to keep the roads moving? it is amount of pressure on you to keep the roads moving?— the roads moving? it is a big effort. the roads moving? it is a big effort- the — the roads moving? it is a big effort. the supply _ the roads moving? it is a big effort. the supply chain, - the roads moving? it is a big effort. the supply chain, we| the roads moving? it is a big - effort. the supply chain, we rely on contractors — effort. the supply chain, we rely on contractors to have drivers, vehicles, _ contractors to have drivers, vehicles, salt to put on the ground, and the _ vehicles, salt to put on the ground, and the public to play their part and the public to play their part and observe safe distances between the gritters and allow us to do our

actually, how much mortgages are going up, council tax. you know, something that's got to be done, i think. it's time for a new government. the heating, the bills. that's crazy — that's another crazy one. obviously, something's not been working before, so something's got to change. it's a struggle, - really, for everybody. time for change, i think. politics can be precarious. the conservatives have a majority of more than 11,000 here in kingswood, but labour has overturned bigger margins in recent by—elections. they hope that any desire for change can build support for them, but some voters are having difficulty choosing their political colours. there's a big push on health care, at the moment. i think everyone's aware that the nhs is kind of in crisis. i'm a nurse myself. have you made up your mind about how you would vote next week? that's something that i probably need to look into a little bit more. the former mp has now gone and his constituency won't be far behind — come the general election,

because of boundary changes, this seat will be split three ways and cease to exist. but the by—election has given kingswood one last hurrah and an opportunity for some voters to focus relentlessly on local issues. people campaigning here even in theirfront gardens. yes, yeah. there's huge support in the local area for the campaign. the hanham district, green belt conservation society isn't aligned with any political party. just over here, you can see one of the fields where they're looking to develop — full of sheep. they oppose what they see as a potential threat to green—belt land from the labour and liberal democrat—controlled local council. and they believe the by—election has given them a chance to pile on the pressure. it's going to change the whole character of the area. i don't think houses should be built on green—belt land. other alternatives should be looked at first. both the conservative and green party candidates have seized on this issue. labour and the lib dems are campaigning on the state of the nhs and cost of living.

but local issues can be important at by—elections. i'm willing to focus on local issues with this particular vote. whereas normally in a general election, i would look at the wider picture. politics is an art, not a science. perception matters. the labour candidate grew up in the area, but moved to london, so the conservative campaign insists he's not local. here at the palettes art club in cadbury heath, some of the amateur artists had different perspectives. you don't select a candidate for bristol who lives in london. they've probably been away from this area for many, many years. they don't understand the situation. he went to our local school — the same school as my children went to. he grew up here. he moved away for his job and he's moved back. reform uk, formerly known as the brexit party and ukip, are both hoping that some wavering voters will be receptive to their messages on controlling immigration. i think the balance - of the country is gone. in what way?

immigration. i think there's got to be a stop to it. too many people here now and it's affecting all our nhs and housing. with just one exception, in the past 50 years, the party that won kingswood also won the general election. so next week's result here might reflect the national political mood. iain watson, bbc news, kingswood. you can see a full list of candidates standing in kingswood next thursday. just visit the bbc news website. let's take a look at today's papers. the times is reporting that an alleged russian spy from afghanistan lied to gain asylum in britain, before going on to work for the foreign office and meet the future king. "shame on you" is the headline in the mirror. the paper's front page reflects calls for rishi sunak to apologise

after he joked about labour's position on trans people. the prime minister made the comment when the mum of murdered teenager brianna ghey, who was transgender, was in parliament. the i is leading with a study which has found erectile dysfunction drugs like viagra reduce the risk of developing alzheimer's by 18%. however, scientists are warning men against starting to take them as a precautionary measure. the 2024 film awards season is now under way in the united states — but have you ever wondered about how the trophies are made? they are rather beautiful. the actor statu ettes are being created, in preparation for the 30th annual screen actors guild awards which will take place later this month. the process starts with pouring molten bronze into large moulds which are made

from either wax or ceramic. expert hands carefully remove them to reveal the shape of the statue beneath. then, a green film called patina is painstakingly applied to finish off the creations. complicated process and no two statues are the same and it takes about a month to make each one. it is like an oscars army. now you know. still to come on breakfast. concerns over shoplifting and staff abuse following cases like this one, where a group armed men with machetes raided a store in leeds. the co—op is calling for mps to do more to protect shop workers. we'll speak to the retailer just after seven. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm alison earle. friends of the woman

who was injured in the attack with a corrosive substance in south london have launched a fundraiser to support her family. eight days on, the 31—year—old remains sedated in hospital. police are still hunting suspect abdul shokoor ezedi and say he was last seen on vauxhall bridge road just after 11 on the night of the attack. nickie aiken, the conservative mp for the cities of london and westminster, has announced that she's standing down at the next election. she joins a growing list of tory politicians in london choosing not to defend their seats. aiken said she's leaving to support her husband after he accepted a job overseas. the problem of mental illness in children is being described as an unprecedented crisis by child welfare experts. the warning comes as figures from the charity the children's society suggest five pupils in a class of 30 are likely to have mental health issues. a government spokesperson said, "we're providing an additional £2.3 billion a yearfor nhs mental health support 0ne school

in golders green is helping students by holding wellbeing sessions." we do see more children who come into school with more anxiety and more worries and sort of hold on to those for the day. and what we have to do as a school is try to shuffle people around and funding around to match the needs of the children. that's very hard to do, because we don't have any extra funding. so schools are really stretched to cope with the needs of the children. we've heard some amazing stories from the londoners making a difference in their boroughs, as part of our series "the 32". this week it's the turn of gordon from redbridge, who took a plot of wasteland and transformed it into a haven for walkers and wildlife. we've got lots of groups of people that use the place for bird watching or coming round and chilling out and presently we have a group of swimmers who come in on a saturday

or sunday morning. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. just some minor delays on the central line. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. despite the chilly start this morning, the temperature today will get milder. but with that comes some heavy rain and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for that rain valid until 2:00am tomorrow morning. now a warm front is moving north, bringing that persistent rain, but also eventually introducing that milder air. now, as we head through this morning, heavy, persistent rain, 15 to 25 millimetres of rain widely through the next 2a hours or so. we're looking at it getting drier through the middle part of the day. showers to follow. temperatures today by the end of it, at least for some further south, 13 celsius. now, as we head overnight, that next band of rain will move through, could see more over higher ground. it will gradually turn showery as we head into friday. the minimum temperature, we're in that mild air again between eight and ten

celsius for friday. it is going to stay largely unsettled. we'll see some showers around as well. temperatures, though, remain mild. it is going to stay unsettled through the weekend, but those temperatures staying in double figures. there's more on our website including how to get your hands on a bit of magical history. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. since brianna ghey�*s death last year, her mum esther has raised more than £80,000 for the �*peace in mind' campaign set up in her memory. now, esther is calling for every school in the uk to have a teacher specially trained in mindfulness to support children with their mental health. esther watched as the issue was debated in the house of commons. a warning this report from tim muffett, includes flashing images. the primary motivation for brianna's murder was your deep desire to kill. the messages reveal your fantasies

and show your sadistic motives. and your messages, about wanting to say if she would scream like a man or a girl, show your own interests in killing brianna link to your hostility towards her as a transgender person. since the sentencing of her daughter's killers last week, esther ghey has been calling for urgent action. i'd like to see mobile phone companies take more responsibility. it's so difficult for parents now to safeguard their children. i would like to see the law changed so that children only have access to children's mobile phones. i think that mindfulness needs to be embedded into every school. yesterday, esther headed to westminster. she wanted to hear directly from those who could help make her wishes become a reality. calm.

mindfulness is a calming technique which involves paying attention to what's happening in the present moment withoutjudgement. esther is perhaps the most remarkable person i have ever met. but she doesn't want the sympathy or pity of those here today, but a commitment to standing alongside her and our community in warrington in delivering a lasting legacy for her daughter. before this debate, though, there had been angry exchanges during prime minister's questions following these comments from rishi sunak. but it's a bit rich, mr speaker, to hear about promises from someone who's broken every single promise he was elected on. i mean, i think i counted almost 30 in the last year — pensions planning, peerages, public sector pay, tuition fees, child care, second referendums defining a woman. although in fairness, that was only 99% of a u—turn. the list goes on, but the theme is the same, mr speaker. it's empty words, broken promises,

and absolutely no plan. of all the weeks to say that, when brianna's mother- is in this chamber — shame. parading as a man of integrity, when he's got absolutely - no responsibility. there were calls for the prime minister to apologise to esther ghey, who had entered the public gallery shortly after the exchange. the lgbtq+ charity stonewall said rishi sunak�*s words had been cheap, callous and crass. the bbc�*s political editor, chris mason, asked the chancellor, jeremy hunt, about the comments later. the prime minister has used a line about trans people as a political punchline in the presence of a grieving mother. chris, that is not what happened. and you know that.

she was in the chamber in parliament and the prime minister has used that line. chris, that is not what happened. what he was saying was that keir starmer cannot make his mind up about the big issues of the day. should the prime minister apologise? i've answered that question. so he's not going to? i've answered that question. esther ghey met labour leader sir keir starmer in the afternoon. the prime minister has also invited her to attend a meeting about online safety. it's not known precisely when that meeting will take place. tim muffett, bbc news. we'll bejoined by brianna's headteacher, emma mills, and emily slater from the �*mindfulness in schools' project, at 810.

magic to help you forget about your troubles, and chelsea defied the odds, to put a difficult few weeks, behind them, with a comprehensive 3—1win against aston villa, to ease the pressure on their under fire boss mauricio pochettino. after goals from conor gallacher and nicolas jackson, this free kick from enzo fernandez, gave chelsea their third, and secured their place in the fifth round. the team almost couldn't believe it, because villa are way above chelsea in the league, and had brilliant home form. but it is chelsea who will now host championship side leeds united, to rekindle the cup memories of the early 1970's and the manager was left purring after what he called, "their best performance of the season".. we are still a young team, but we are growing in a very good way. i think to be in the final of the carabao cup and now to be in the next round of the fa cup. and we need to keep pushing now in the premier league because we have another game now monday, but i think play in this way. yes, we can for sure win more games and then lose. there was almost a cup upset in last night's other tie as nottingham forest, were taken to a penaltt shoot out, by championship side bristol city.

after it finished 1—all after extra time, forest converted all of their spot kicks, with the winner coming from awoniyi to just edge past city. they'll host manchester united in the next round. there's quite a title race brewing in scotland. the premiership leaders, celtic moved three points clear of rangers, with a 2—1victory at hibernian. adam idah scored two penalties, the second deep into injury time to give his side the victory, to spark some wild celebrations in that away end. rangers hot on the tails of celtic, who have played a game more. elsewhere wins for kilmarnock, st mirren and hearts. meanwhile, derek adams has resigned as ross county manager afterjust 79 days in charge. it comes after their 5—0 defeat to motherwell on tuesday. they're second bottom in the scottish premiership. the former england and manchester united forward, jessee lingard has moved to korean league side, fc seoul. lingard was a key player for gareth southgate in the 2018 world cup. he is 31 now and has been without a club since leaving

nottingham forest last summer and says the k—league provides him with the perfect new challenge. the hosts, ivory coast, will play nigeria, in the final of the africa cup of nations on sunday. thats after nigeria beat south africa in a penalty shootout it was the leicester city striker, kelechi iheanacho who scored the decisive spot kick sparking huge celebrations. the game had ended 1—1 after a dramatic late equaliser for south africa, but two of their players missed in the shootout, so it is nigeria who progress. and what a story for the hosts, the ivory— and what a story for the hosts, the ivory coast — and what a story for the hosts, the ivory coast who ended the strong resistance — ivory coast who ended the strong resistance of the democratic republic of congo, and what is crazy is earlier— republic of congo, and what is crazy is earlier in— republic of congo, and what is crazy is earlier in the competition, ivory coast _ is earlier in the competition, ivory coast sacked their manager when it seemed _ coast sacked their manager when it seemed they would not get out of the group _ seemed they would not get out of the group stage but they scrape through and are _ group stage but they scrape through and are now in the final under the interim— and are now in the final under the interim boss. who now has a chance to guide _ interim boss. who now has a chance to guide the — interim boss. who now has a chance to guide the elephants to a third title _ there's been more success for great britain

at the world aquatics championships, with yasmin harper and scarlett mewjense, claiming a bronze in diving. the pair secured back—to—back podiums in the three—metre synchronised event, having won silver at last summer's worlds in japan. their bronze is great britain's eighth medal of the championships in doha. after a record—breaking start on the pitch at bayern munich, harry kane is now on a mission to get young people thinking about their mental health. the england captain has been speaking to students at a northamptonshire school, from his base in germany, about physical and mental resilience. alex howell sent us this report. yeah. this might look like a normal school day, but it's far from your average lesson. how are you doing? you're okay. they've all gone very quiet. swapping the changing room for the classroom, harry kane is on a mission to get young people thinking about their mental health. how do you use your mental resilience on and off the pitch? my resilience has been built up over many years in life, in football,

there's going to be times where you have highs. there's going to be times where you have some lows as well. so, just understanding that. the england captain's foundation has partnered up with mental health charity bounce forward. what would harry definitely do before he started? awarm up. providing 17 schools across england with lesson plans and resources to nurture physical and mental resilience. what was it that made you want to get involved with something like this? yeah, maybe having four kids now myself, being a father. i look at their future and, you know, the world they're coming into. and of course, with social media and a lot of online stuff nowadays, mental health is a really big thing and it's important to be able to talk about your feelings and what you're going through. so when i was younger, being released from one club and having to have setbacks like that, i had to show a lot of strength, a lot of self—belief, a lot of resilience in those moments. and, you know, i was lucky to have good family around me, became

for kane family is everything. and this project is no exception. i know my wife kate has been with you today. i can see kate. you know, we've been on this journey together. we've known each other our whole lives. you know, we've been we've been together since i was 18 years old. she's at home with me. she's the one that sees me high. she sees me low. she's always there to comfort me. so she has different strengths to, you know, to give back to the younger generation as well. 0n the pitch, kane has had an electric start sincejoining bayern munich last summer, scoring 28 goals so far this season. when i made the move i was excited by it, but of course a little bit nervous as well. 0n how it was going to go. so i've been really proud with the way i've started. now i've got my wife and kids here since the new year. they're settled in school. they're doing really well. so i'm enjoying it. i'm hoping i can even improve from the first half of the season. i always try and get better and of course the personal stuff

is great, but i've made it clear i want to be winning ten trophies. and that's one of the things that's missing from from my career so far. it's really important we talk about these things. kane's global appeal means his platform is bigger than ever, something he plans to put to good use. there's a lot of young boys and girls looking up to me and looking at what i do, notjust on the pitch, but off the pitch as well. so, you know, you listen to your role models. you know, i would have done anything beckham would have said when i was a kid. so, yeah, it'sjust i kind of hope they can take in some of my experiences and they can relate to it. at a young age, sometimes we think that we're very alone and it's good to talk to people about your mental health and make sure that you're okay. to have someone - as big as harry kane, it gets people talking harry around. applause. alex howell, bbc news.

john maguire went to see the work being done there. so, lizzie, ithink you actually were on the beach with this one last night. yeah, this one was called at the far end of penhale. so pitch black. you can get him with a torch. and as you can see, he's very dark himself. the thing that i could see with the torch, there was definitely something wrong with his right eye. like any hospital, the day here at the cornwall seal hospital starts with ward rounds. and for the head vet, the first chance to examine a patient who was rescued and brought in last night. i'm having to listen to the lungs, and his breathing is nice and relaxed. like the storms that so often are the seal pups; main threat, they�* re given names. the current theme is dogs. and so this is dingo. honking the fact that he's so vociferous is a good sign. he has enough energy to complain and doesn't of course realise that the staff here are saving his life. we're kind of doing that intensive care period where they need a lot of veterinary attention each day and they need help feeding themselves as well.

so initially, they will be rehydrated with fluids for the first sort of 24 to 36 hours and then we'll focus on starting to get some fish introduced to them and try and get them eating fish on their own as quickly as possible. being a seal pup is tough. they only stay with their mothers for three weeks after birth and at that point should weigh more than 30 kilos. all the patients here are underweight and struggled to fend for themselves in the winter seas. so then the last one that we have is jack russell, who came in yesterday from newquay town. lizzie started out by caring for the rescued pups in her garage, but now the operation has expanded into this purpose built hospital in somercotes, near newquay, where they are busier than ever before. so loads of challenges. so predominantly things like climate change causing more storms at the time that seal pups are really small and having to learn how to make their way in the world. they have to fight against swell. they become malnourished, dehydrated, bashed up against rocks. so that's a big issue

that's human—caused. disturbance. people getting way too close to these animals could cause things like separation between mums and pups. and then we have things like entanglement issues with things like ghost fishing nets, which can cause a huge hazard to these animals. and this is an example of that abandoned fishing gear. ghost gear, as it's known. 11 metres long and obviously hazardous. this is actually the largest piece of net we've taken off a live seal in the charity. this was a couple of years ago near st ives. what happens? the flippers get stuck in there? this is an old piece of gear. it has got holes in it in places where the net has actually already been damaged from being dashed on rocks in storms. and the seal had managed to get its head through there, but luckily it was found before any real damage had been done. but this pup only weighs 13 kilos. remember, three weeks old, once they've left their mother, they should be something like 30 or 40 kilos. you can tell that he's undernourished because of the folds in his skin.

if he was up to weight, he'd look like a blimp. but as you can see, he really is underfed. all right, then. all right. thank you. this time of year, they receive up to 20 calls a day. are you alright to do that? yeah. so we going right now? so apparently down the stairs, they said, but imagine steps 0k. and on the right. so lisa's just had a call about a pup that's on one of the beaches on the north cornwall coast. so we're just going to go and see if it needs rescuing. it may not, it may be in good enough condition, but the people who called in thought that it was vulnerable. so we'll see what happens. no, no sign? maybe it's not there. there's one in the water. the pup looks like it's quite awake and alert when it's looking back out at us. it means it's either been disturbed by people or it may have just gone back out of its own accord. but yeah, we like to see them out in the wild and quite often when we come out on call outs, that happens.

it's obviously gone out and it's probably quite happy. fingers crossed. yeah, fingers crossed. we better have that outcome than bring them into us. and they'll probably be happier if we get off the beach. i think so. i think so, yeah. so a positive outcome. and just as well as this is already a record year for rescues and welfare centres are full. so the best thing for pups is for them to be fit, fat and happily fishing in the sea. john maguire, bbc news, cornwall. it is great work they are doing and there is something lovely, something lovely about looking at the sea, and they are doing their thing out in they are doing their thing out in the ocean, and in a way, rather in stark contrast to how this story is making people feel. yeah? about dentistry and the problems with finding a dentist on the nhs. you've seen the pictures _ finding a dentist on the nhs. you've seen the pictures in _ finding a dentist on the nhs. you've seen the pictures in the _ finding a dentist on the nhs. you've seen the pictures in the past - finding a dentist on the nhs. you've seen the pictures in the past week, | seen the pictures in the past week, the cues in bristol when there was an nhs dentist that opened up and people are queueing for hours and it sparked a lot of reaction from you and thank you so much for getting in touch and nick has been going

eight days on, the 31—year—old remains sedated in hospital. police are still hunting suspect abdul shakoor ezedi and say he was last seen on vauxhall bridge road just after 11 on the night of the attack. nickie aiken, the conservative mp for the cities of london and westminster, has announced that she's standing down at the next election. she joins a growing list of tory politicians in london choosing not to defend their seats. aiken said she's leaving to support her husband after he accepted a job overseas. the problem of mental illness in children is being described as an unprecedented crisis by child welfare experts. the warning comes as figures from the charity the children's society suggest five pupils in a class of 30 are likely to have mental health issues. a government spokesperson said, "we're providing an additional £2.3 billion a yearfor nhs mental health support 0ne school £2.3 billion a yearfor nhs mental health support".

0ne school in golders green is helping students by holding wellbeing sessions. we do see more children who come into school with more anxiety and more worries and sort of hold on to those for the day. and what we have to do as a school is try to shuffle people around and funding around to match the needs of the children. that's very hard to do, because we don't have any extra funding. so schools are really stretched to cope with the needs of the children. we've heard some of stories of the londoners making a difference in their boroughs as part of our series the 32. this week it's the turn of gordon from redbridge, who took a plot of wasteland and transformed it into a haven for walkers and wildlife. i always thought it would be nice forfamilies to i always thought it would be nice for families to have a place to go. most people don't want to go fishing, theyjust want most people don't want to go fishing, they just want to most people don't want to go fishing, theyjust want to be here because it's such a nice, natural environment now. travel and this is how the tube is looking. minor delays on the central line. good morning. despite the chilly start this

highest motorway sections in the motorway network and there are 40 drivers going out in the next hour to try to keep the roads open. there is a 24 degrees difference in temperature north to south and in the south it means we are looking at rain but as it bumps into cold air further north it will turn to snow, especially on high routes, where it could be disruptive. huge relief for chelsea and their under pressure manager as they put recent troubles behind them to ease past aston villa into the fa cup fifith round, where they'll face old rivals leeds. it's thursday, the 8th of february. problems for both rishi sunak and keir starmer this morning. the labour leader is abandoning his party's promise to spend £28 billion a year on environmental projects, if they win the next election. the prime minister has asked to meet the mother

of murdered trans teenager brianna ghey after he was criticised for a joke about labour's position on transgender people 0ur chief political correspondent is henry zeffman. let's start with the labour party. something they have been tackled about, a flagship policy worth £28 billion. it about, a flagship policy worth £28 billion. , . , ., ., billion. it is a big u-turn and a coule billion. it is a big u-turn and a couple of _ billion. it is a big u-turn and a couple of years _ billion. it is a big u-turn and a couple of years ago, _ billion. it is a big u-turn and a couple of years ago, labour. couple of years ago, labour announced a policy saying they will spend 28 billion a year to transition to net zero. last year that became £28 billion by the end of a first term of a labour government. it has been clear recently that that position was going to be softened. you would have the unusual spectacle in recent days of the shadow chancellor being asked

questions about this and refusing to allow the words 20 or eight to pass her lips and keir starmer saying he was still committed to the 28 billion. today will —— we will get clarity that the policy is being ditched. laboursay clarity that the policy is being ditched. labour say they are committed to the green prosperity plan which is what the 28 billion was going to be spent on, but say they will be focused on green outcomes rather than the amount of money going into it.— money going into it. prime minister's _ money going into it. prime minister's questions - money going into it. prime - minister's questions yesterday was eventful and mainly centred on rishi sunak�*s comments towards the labour leader about u—turns. it is connected with the mother of brianna ghey, esther ghey. and apparently there will be a meeting between the two. . ., ., , .,, two. eventful and acrimonious. iwas in the commons _ two. eventful and acrimonious. iwas in the commons yesterday _ two. eventful and acrimonious. iwas in the commons yesterday to - two. eventful and acrimonious. i was in the commons yesterday to watch. in the commons yesterday to watch prime minister's questions and the

mood was pretty sour because rishi sunak did what he has done before, a list of what he calls u—turns from sir keir starmer, including his position on gender identification. keir starmer was furious because he said the mother of brianna ghey, esther ghey, was there watching. rishi sunak came under pressure within prime minister's questions to apologise to esther ghey. he refused to do so. but in the hours afterwards, downing street got in touch i am told with the family and say they wanted to meet to discuss her broader campaign on online safety and we understand she is likely to accept the meeting. still, downing street insisting that to draw attention to keir starmer�*s u—turns, including on this position, are legitimate. u-turns, including on this position, are legitimate.—

could be arrested if they fail to remove them when asked, as ministers claim they are being used by demonstrators to avoid being identified. campaigners say it is an attack on their rights, the third time the government has cracked down on demonstrations in the past three years. we really have to think about balance and the trend that we have seen over the last three years of ever—decreasing thresholds for committing offences at protests, ever—increasing sentences. we are seeing people go to prison for years and years for protesting, for peacefully protesting. and we really need to think about the role of protesting in this country and understand it as a fundamental and essential part of democracy. ministers point to these arrests ofjust stop 0il campaigners as a sign that recently announced laws are working. and say today's fresh announcement will help to fill in the gaps. but where some may see a welcome promise of an end to disruption, others fear an end to one of their long—standing rights.

in iraq supported by iran. americans believe this group was behind the deadly attack injordan when three american soldiers were killed. we saw days ago, the american started a response to that attack by targeting positions used by these militia groups along the syria and iraq border but what happened last night was for the first time the retaliation came to the iraqi capital and so a significant escalation and i think the american strategy would only be to target infrastructure used by those groups and also some of their senior members. militia leaders vow to retaliate and i think the focus is on iran and its proxies and how and if they will respond. for the first time, global warming has exceeded 1.5 degrees above pre—industrial levels for an entire year, according to the eu's climate service.

after 11 on the night of the attack. the problem of mental illness in children is being described as an unprecedented crisis by child welfare experts. the warning comes as figures from the charity the children's society suggest five pupils in a class of 30 are likely to have mental health issues. a government spokesperson said, "we're providing an additional £2.3 billion a yearfor nhs mental health support." one school in golders green is helping students through wellbeing sessions. we do see more children who come into school with more anxiety and more worries and sort of hold on to those for the day. and what we have to do as a school is try to shuffle people around and funding around to match the needs of the children. that's very hard to do, because we don't have any extra funding. so schools are really stretched to cope with the needs of the children. nickie aiken, the conservative mp for the cities of london and westminster has announced that

she's standing down at the next election. she joins a growing list of tory politicians in london choosing not to defend their seats. aiken said she remains loyal to the party and prime minister. we've heard some of stories of the londoners making a difference in their boroughs — as part of our series "the 32". this week it's the turn of gordon from redbridge, who took a plot of wasteland and transformed it into a haven for walkers and wildlife. i thought it would be nice for people to have a place where people can go fishing, and have family activities. lots of people come here and don't go fishing and theyjust want to be here because it's such a nice natural environment. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. just some minor delays on the central line. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. despite the chilly start this morning, the temperature today will get milder. but with that comes some heavy rain and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place

mike is here with us on the sofa. and you are giving us some extraordinary figures earlier on about eight football matches a while ago. what was a game you quoted? it was the chelsea and leeds fa cup final replay on wednesday night in 1970. _ final replay on wednesday night in 1970, and — final replay on wednesday night in 1970, and it's the sixth most watched _ 1970, and it's the sixth most watched tv moment of all time. 28.5 million _ watched tv moment of all time. 28.5 million and _ watched tv moment of all time. 28.5 million and the reason, to big clubs at the _ million and the reason, to big clubs at the time — million and the reason, to big clubs at the time and a lot of the funding between _ at the time and a lot of the funding between them and it's described as the most _ between them and it's described as the most brutal football match ever, and the _ the most brutal football match ever, and the referee looking back on it now said — and the referee looking back on it now said he would give six red cards and at _ now said he would give six red cards and at the _ now said he would give six red cards and at the time it was one booking. so tie _ and at the time it was one booking. so tie it— and at the time it was one booking. so tie it into — and at the time it was one booking. so tie it into the pictures here. there were two fa cup replays last night with chelsea winning aston villa and nottingham forest beating bristol city on penalties but it means chelsea now go on to face leeds in the fifth round of the fa cup, and amazingly that will be the first time that chelsea will face leeds in the fa cup since that tv moment and their replay of 1970 ——

and they booked their place as they threw the phone book out the window when uncomfortably at villa to lift the pressure on their under fire boss. as a pensive mauricio pochettino surveyed the job ahead, you could be forgiven for thinking he was a man under pressure, but his team were in a hurry to prove reports of chelsea's demise as a pensive mauricio pochettino surveyed the job ahead, have been greatly exaggerated. tried to tee up gallagher, he did it. the recent poor form meant this wasn't in the script at high—flying villa. neither was this. and it's headed in for 2—0. what a good goal. crisis? what crisis? the blues weren't about to let up in the second half either. enzo fernandez silencing villa fans with a stunning free kick. the execution was pitch perfect. one of the most expensive british transfers of all time was desperate to prove he was worth every penny. villa attempted to pull off the late show, but it was a mere

consolation. from leaking goals to confident and composed, chelsea gave their 7,000 away fans a night to remember in the night's other replay. nottingham forest got off to a flyer at the city ground, but a swift equaliser from championship side bristol city took the match to extra time and penalties loomed. it was the premier league side though who eventually came through 5—3 and earned the right to host manchester united in the next round. natalie perks, bbc news. there was a huge penalty moment in the title race in scotland last night, as the premiership leaders, celtic moved three points clear of rangers, with a 2—1victory at hibernian. adam idah scored two penalties, the second deep into injury time, to give his side the victory, to spark some wild celebrations in that away end. rangers hot on the tails of celtic, who have played a game more. elsewhere wins for kilmarnock, st mirren and hearts. meanwhile, derek adams has resigned as ross county manager afterjust 79 days in charge. it comes after their 5—0 defeat

to motherwell on tuesday. they're second bottom in the scottish premiership. the former england and manchester united forward, jessee lingard has moved to korean league side, fc seoul. lingard was a key player for gareth southgate in the 2018 world cup. he is 31 now and has been without a club since leaving nottingham forest last summer and says, the k—league provides him with the perfect new challenge. i'm really excited. it's a new challenge. and i've accepted it, i'm here, and i'm ready to open a new chapter in my career and ijust want to enjoy playing football again, putting a smile on peoples faces and showing the korean fans what i can do. the hosts, ivory coast, will play nigeria, in the final of the africa cup of nations on sunday.

no one saw that coming when ivory coast sacked their manager when it seemed they'd go out in the group phase. but they scraped through, found a new manager and overcame the democratic republic of congo winning 1—0 in their semi—final. interim boss emerse fae now has a chance to guide the elephants to a third title. nigeria beat south africa in a penalty shootout in theirsemi—final. it was the leicester city striker, kelechi iheanacho who scored the decisive spot kick sparking huge celebrations. the game had ended 1—1 after a dramatic late equaliser for south africa, but two of their players missed in the shootout, so it is nigeria who progress. the asian cup final on saturday will be betweenjordan and defending champions qatar who beat iran 3—2

almoez ali scored the winner late on in doha, to book the hosts' place in the final. — much to the delight of those home fans... underdogsjordan beat south korea in the other semi. in the six nations, big news for wales, as one of their experienced star players, george north is back, to face england at the weekend. the ospreys centre missed the opening round defeat, to scotland but returns to warren gatlands side, for the match at twickenham — where he is set to make his 50th six nations appearence..that's one of 7 changes, to the wales team. england name their side later today. emma raducanu has been knocked out of the abu dhabi open by ons jabeur in the last 16. raducanu made her return at last month's australian open after missing the final eight months of 2023 after wrist and ankle surgeries. but the tunisian second seed jabeur proved too good —

winning in straight sets. raducanu stilljust 21 remember. there's been more success for great britain, at the world aquatics championships, with yasmin harper and scarlett mewjense, claiming a bronze in diving. the pair, secured back—to—back podiums, in the 3 metre synchronised event, having won silver, at last summer's worlds in japan. their bronze is great britain's eighth medal of the championships in doha. and isn't it a wonder, irish pop stars boyzone are in negotiations with non—league chorley about becoming investors according to the club. the band's singers ronan keating, shane lynch and keith duffy — and westlife's brian mcfadden — will all be at chorley's home game against solihull moors on saturday. the club are currently sixth in national league north. why surely? we will find out. is there any _ why surely? we will find out. is there any explanation _ why surely? we will find out. is there any explanation as - why surely? we will find out. is there any explanation as to - why surely? we will find out. is there any explanation as to why why surely? we will find out. is l there any explanation as to why it is chorley?_

we can start with a u—turn by the labour party on a flagship policy that has left many figuring out if it could stick to this. it is that has left many figuring out if it could stick to this.— it could stick to this. it is a u-turn- — it could stick to this. it is a u-turn- a _ it could stick to this. it is a u-turn. a big _ it could stick to this. it is a u-turn. a big one. - it could stick to this. it is a u-turn. a big one. but i it could stick to this. it is a u-turn. a big one. but for| it could stick to this. it is a i u-turn. a big one. but for the it could stick to this. it is a - u-turn. a big one. but for the last u—turn. a big one. but for the last months, it has been clear something was up with labour's policy because different members of the shadow cabinet, keir starmer, rachel reeves, shadow chancellor, did not have the same answers about the commitment of £28 billion of annual spending on green projects but today we have the clarity no they are not and they will argue because economic circumstances have changed since making the promise, the cost of borrowing being higher because of inflation and interest rates, they can no longer commit to the £28 billion. they will try to argue even though they are prioritising fiscal

caution they are committed to green spending. that is a difficult needle for them to thread and we will hear from them today as they trying to keep parts of the coalition together with their approach. rishi keep parts of the coalition together with their approach.— with their approach. rishi sunak will meet esther _ with their approach. rishi sunak will meet esther ghey _ with their approach. rishi sunak will meet esther ghey after i with their approach. rishi sunak will meet esther ghey after a i will meet esther ghey after a negative reception after prime minister's questions. do we know when the meeting could take place? it went down badly in the chamber yesterday notjust it went down badly in the chamber yesterday not just on it went down badly in the chamber yesterday notjust on labour benches. you saw wincing on the conservative benches when rishi sunak made hisjibe at keir starmer's approach to gender policy that keir starmer said he should not have made when esther ghey was in the commons chamber. you can see today the conservative party is struggling to explain why rishi sunak made that comment. we can hear the policing minister. ltriuiheh sunak made that comment. we can hear the policing minister.—

used by demonstrators to avoid being identified. campaigners say it is an attack on their rights, the third time the government has cracked down on demonstrations in the past three years. we really have to think about balance and the trend that we have seen over the last three years of ever—decreasing thresholds for committing offences at protests, ever—increasing sentences. we are seeing people go to prison for years and years for protesting, for peacefully protesting. and we really need to think about the role of protest in this country and understand it as a fundamental and essential part of our democracy. ministers point to these arrests ofjust stop oil campaigners as a sign that recently announced laws are working. and say today's fresh announcement will help to fill in the gaps. but where some may see a welcome promise of an end to disruption, others fear an end to one of their long—standing rights. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster.

for the first time, global warming has exceeded 1.5 degrees above pre—industrial levels for an entire year, according to the eu's climate service. copernicus says the last eight months have been the hottest ever recorded. world leaders promised in 2015 to try to limit the long—term temperature rise, which is seen as crucial to help avoid the most damaging impacts of climate change. mps are being urged to make the assault or abuse of a shop worker a specific criminal offence. the co—op said there'd been a 44 per cent increase in incidents of shoplifting and violence in its stores within the past year. a similar bill has been law in scotland since 2021. police searching for the man who's suspected of throwing corrosive chemicals at a woman in south london say that the pair had been in a relationship. a manhunt has been underway to find

35—year—old abdul ezedi since the attack in clapham last wednesday. police said he is wanted for attempted murder. iraq says a us drone strike that killed a leader of an iran—backed militia in baghdad is a threat to regional stability. the military group says the attack won't go unpunished. middle east correspondent hugo bachega is in baghdad. talk us through the incident itself and the significance of where this happened. this and the significance of where this ha ened. , , ., and the significance of where this hauened. , , . , happened. this is a significant escalation _ happened. this is a significant escalation because _ happened. this is a significant escalation because it - happened. this is a significantl escalation because it happened happened. this is a significant i escalation because it happened in baghdad here and this will raise tensions in the country further. it happened last night around 9.30 in the evening and i was here in the bureau and heard a loud explosion not farfrom here. this

bureau and heard a loud explosion not far from here. this attack targeted a car carrying the leader of the group kataib hezbollah, a powerful militia supported by iran. the americans believe this group was behind the deadly attack injordan ten days ago that killed three american soldiers. we are seeing the american soldiers. we are seeing the american retaliation after that attack continues. it is no surprise the americans are targeting senior members of those groups. militia leaders vowed to retaliate. there has been strong reaction from the iraqi army and i think the focus is on iran and its proxies and how and if they will react.— the prince of wales has thanked the public for its support, after his father the king was diagnosed with cancer. william attended a fundraising dinner last night, his first event since stepping back last month when his wife, the princess of wales, had abdominal surgery. a warning this report by our royal correspondent daniela relph contains flashing images.

returning to royal duty — the prince of wales was at a fundraising dinner last night for the london air ambulance. and a first comment from prince william to the bbc during what is a challenging time for the family. your royal highness, how grateful are you for the public support you've received in recent weeks? we really appreciate all the messages. thank you. prince william is a former air ambulance pilot himself, so this event had personal meaning to him. and there was a touch of top gun glamour, too. tom cruise, the star guest and another experienced pilot in the room. the prince gave a speech to guests at the fundraiser — his first since his wife had surgery and news of his father's cancer diagnosis was made public. i'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you also for the kind messages of support for catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. it means a great deal to us all. it's fair to say the past few weeks

have had a rather medical focus, so i thought i'd come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all. laughter. while one prince was on duty, the other is already back home in the united states. prince harry spent around 45 minutes with his father at clarence house after the king's cancer diagnosis. he didn't meet his brother during his flying visit to the uk. the king is now on his sandringham estate in norfolk, away from the public gaze, where he'll spend much of the coming weeks. for his son, this will be a steady and managed return to royal duty. his priority remains supporting his wife as she recovers from surgery. but after the intensity of recent weeks, last night, there were some light—hearted moments. i should also take this opportunity to give a mention to my — our — fellow pilot tom cruise. tom, huge thanks for supporting us tonight. applause.

and, tom, if you wouldn't mind not borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next mission impossible, it would be appreciated. it was a glamorous end to the prince of wales' first day back on royal duty. not all engagements are as glitzy as this one. but with the king and the princess of wales stepping back, the royal family need the profile and the pull of prince william. daniel relph, bbc news, central london. wronged matches, wrong trousers, wrong things, wrong matches. i did not know there was such a thing is the wrong matches. unfortunately, someone found out eight years after spending eight years building a matchstick model of the eiffel tower. he was trying to win a guinness world record attempt.

but he used the wrong matches. congratulations to french model enthusiast richard plaud, who had his hopes crushed after being told that his 23 foot tower, made of more than 700,000 matches and 23kg of glue, but the problem is matchsticks were provided directly from the matchstick manufacturer. herein lies the detail. rules say only commercially available matches qualify for a record breaker. no matter how wonderful that he is and it is an extraordinary construction. it looks like iron in itself. it will not happen. he does want to put it on display. he does want to put it on display. he cannot get the record. he wants to put it on display at the paris olympics. if you bought them commercially, 700,000 matches. how many matchboxes?

70 matches per box. how do you know that? it depends whether it is a giant box, small box. the giant boxes longer matches. it does not mean there are more matches. i don't know the answer. i don't know the answer. i have not got a clue. carol will know the answer. good morninu. carol will know the answer. good morning- i _ carol will know the answer. good morning. iwill— carol will know the answer. good morning. i will ignore _ carol will know the answer. good morning. i will ignore that i carol will know the answer. (error. morning. i will ignore that and get on with the weather. we have looked at snow that is already falling in buxton. buxton is quite high and is likely to see a fair bit today. generally, today, tonight, tomorrow, we are looking at heavy snow but not everywhere. it will be on higher ground where it could lead to travel disruption and it will blow as the wind picks up. at lower levels, a mixture of rain, sleet and snow so do not expect snow everywhere. snow showers in the north of scotland

this morning. some ice. a cold start. 25 degrees difference in temperature north to south. in the highlands, —13 and 12 degrees in the isles of scilly. this is rain but as it pushes into the cold air, increasingly it will fall as snow. the met office has two amber warnings which means increased likelihood of disruption. in north wales and north—west shropshire it kicks in at eight o'clock this morning. up to 3pm. in the peak district and pennines, it starts at noon and runs until 6pm. up to 25 centimetres on higher ground is likely. and with that blowing, it could lead to nasty travelling conditions. through the day, the mixture of rain, sleet and snow will push north into southern scotland and northern ireland and behind it a

dry interlude before more rain. ahead of it hazy sunshine. it will feel cold away from the far south. i will have a longer forecast later. how many matches in a match box? i have no idea. i do not use them. what about candles? i have a gadget you press. of you press. of course you do. too efficient for matches. i was listening, i of course you do. too efficient for matches. iwas listening, i promise, but i had to ask. since brianna ghey's death last year, her mum esther has raised more than £80,000 to improve mental health in schools across the uk. yesterday, esther watched as the issue was debated in parliament, but her visit was overshadowed by rishi sunak, who made a jibe about labour's stance on transgender people. a warning this report from tim muffett includes flashing images.

the primary motivation for brianna's murder was your deep desire to kill. the messages reveal your fantasies and show your sadistic motives. and your messages, about wanting to say if she would scream like a man or a girl, show your own interests in killing brianna link to your hostility towards her as a transgender person. since the sentencing of her daughter's killers last week, esther ghey has been calling for urgent action. i'd like to see mobile phone companies take more responsibility. it's so difficult for parents now to safeguard their children. i would like to see the law changed so that children only have access to children's mobile phones. i think that mindfulness needs to be embedded into every school. yesterday, esther headed to westminster. she wanted to hear directly from those who could help make her wishes become a reality.

child's voice: calm. mindfulness is a calming technique which involves paying attention to what's happening in the present moment withoutjudgement. esther is perhaps the most remarkable person i have ever met. but she doesn't want the sympathy or pity of those here today, but a commitment to standing alongside her and our community in warrington in delivering a lasting legacy for her daughter. before this debate, though, there had been angry exchanges during prime minister's questions following these comments from rishi sunak. but it's a bit rich, mr speaker, to hear about promises from someone who's broken every single promise he was elected on. i mean, i think i counted almost 30 in the last year — pensions, planning, peerages, public sector pay, tuition fees, child care, second referendums, defining a woman.

although in fairness, that was only 99% of a u—turn. the list goes on, but the theme is the same, mr speaker. it's empty words, broken promises, and absolutely no plan. kier starmer. of all the weeks to say that, when brianna's mother- is in this chamber. shame. parading as a man of integrity, when he's got absolutely - no responsibility. there were calls for the prime minister to apologise to esther ghey, who had entered the public gallery shortly after the exchange. the lgbtq+ charity stonewall said rishi sunak's words had been cheap, callous and crass. the bbc�*s political editor, chris mason, asked the chancellor, jeremy hunt, about the comments later. the prime minister has used a line about trans people as a political

punchline in the presence of a grieving mother. chris, that is not what happened and you know that. she was in the chamber in parliament and the prime minister has used that line. chris, that is not what happened. what he was saying was that keir starmer cannot make his mind up about the big issues of the day. should the prime minister apologise? i've answered that question. so he's not going to? i've answered that question. esther ghey met labour leader sir keir starmer in the afternoon. at the moment, we are focused so much on the academic aspect of schools and we are never are taught how to take care of our mental health. and i do really feel that mindfulness has really helped me. like in such a difficult time, it has given me that mental resilience and i think so many people at the moment are lacking mental resilience. one of the things that we are arguing for is mental health support in every single school.

we underestimate the mental health impact on young people — in every area. and we have often thought it is older, adult mental health matters. and we have often thought it is older, adult mental health that matters. in schools is where it really, really matters to have that support. yeah, definitely. we need to build mental resilience into the next generation. the prime minister has also invited her to attend a meeting about online safety. it's not known precisely when that meeting will take place. tim muffett, bbc news. we're joined now by brianna's headteacher emma mills. and by emily slater from the mindfulness in schools project. good morning. we saw in the report, and you would have heard from the media coverage, the interviews, emma, let me ask you the reaction to rishi sunak's comments in the exchange at prime minister's questions. i know esther came later

during prime minister's questions but there has been a lot of talk. how is she today? we came late into the gallery and this is what was said and i do not think she has had time to look at the context and what exactly was said, and she wants time to do that today. yesterday, while we were there, we were so focused on the mindfulness debate we were going to and making sure it moves forward in a positive way and that was not something we discussed yesterday. brute something we discussed yesterday. we will get a response from esther at some point? yes. tell us about the trip to the houses of parliament. obviously, huge emotions involved in the trip. this is about mindfulness and you went to a place where a lot of people would say is not great in that department. what did you seek to achieve and what was the daylight? it to achieve and what was the da liuht? ., , to achieve and what was the da liuht? .,, , to achieve and what was the

i'm alison earle. friends of the woman who was injured in the attack with a corrosive substance in south london have launched a fundraiser to support her family. eight days on, the mother—of—two remains sedated in hospital. police are still hunting suspect abdul shokoor ezedi and say he was last seen on vauxhall bridge road just after 11 on the night of the attack. the problem of mental illness in children is being described as an unprecedented crisis by child welfare experts. the warning comes as figures from the charity the children's society suggest five pupils in a class of 30 are likely to have mental health issues. a government spokesperson said, "we're providing an additional £2.3 billion a yearfor nhs mental health support." one school in golders green is helping students through wellbeing sessions. we do see more children who come into school with more anxiety and more worries and sort of hold on to those for the day. and what we have to do as a school is try to shuffle people around and funding around to match the needs of the children. that's very hard to do, because we don't have

any extra funding. so schools are really stretched to cope with the needs of the children. the old bailey will remain closed for emergency repairs after an electrical fire yesterday. around 1,500 people had to be evacuated from the building and the surrounding area. no—one was injured. some major trials had to be postponed. we've heard some of the amazing stories of the londoners making a difference in their boroughs, as part of our series "the 32". this week it's the turn of gordon from redbridge, who took a plot of wasteland and transformed it into a haven for walkers and wildlife. i thought it would be nice for people to have a place where people can go fishing, and have family activities. lots of people come here and don't go fishing and theyjust want to be here because it's such a nice natural environment. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking

at the moment. there's no service on the metropolitan line between moor park and watford. and minor delays on the central line. good morning. despite the chilly start this morning, the temperature today will get milder. but with that comes some heavy rain and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for that rain valid until 2:00am tomorrow morning. now a warm front is moving north, bringing that persistent rain, but also eventually introducing that milder air. now, as we head through this morning, heavy, persistent rain, 15 to 25 millimetres of rain widely through the next 24 hours or so. we're looking at it getting drier through the middle part of the day. showers to follow. temperatures today by the end of it, at least for some further south, 13 celsius. now, as we head overnight, that next band of rain will move through, could see more over higher ground. it will gradually turn showery as we head into friday. the minimum temperature, we're in that mild air again between eight and ten celsius for friday. it is going to stay largely unsettled. we'll see some showers around as well. temperatures, though, remain mild. it is going to stay unsettled through the weekend, but those temperatures staying in double figures. there's more on our website and social media including how to get your hands

on a bit of the magic circle. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. lots of you have been contacting us following our coverage about proposals to improve access to nhs dental appointments in england. nick is here and has been going through your messages. we going through your messages. spoke to the health yesterday we spoke to the health secretary yesterday to understand how the conservative party is proposing finding more dentists and better access to dentists as well. it’s

finding more dentists and better access to dentists as well. it's the ruestion access to dentists as well. it's the question over _ access to dentists as well. it's the question over money _ access to dentists as well. it's the question over money like - access to dentists as well. it's the question over money like enough | question over money like enough money— question over money like enough money in — question over money like enough money in the system to deal with the queues _ money in the system to deal with the queues and _ money in the system to deal with the queues and what is striking is that it is all— queues and what is striking is that it is all across england, rural areas. — it is all across england, rural areas, cities, everywhere. good morning. there are some really shocking examples coming through. ruth in west cumbria got in touch. she now has a 112—mile round trip to hexham to see a dentist. there are many other examples. so what s the answer? is it more money? we had the health secretary victoria atkins on breakfast yesterday. she dodged sally s question about whether the dentistry budget had dropped by £500 million in the past ten years. is the budget lower than it was? the bud . et is is the budget lower than it was? iie: budget is £3 is the budget lower than it was? tie: budget is £3 billion. is the budget lower than it was? the budget is £3 billion. is _ is the budget lower than it was? the budget is £3 billion. is that - is the budget lower than it was? the budget is £3 billion. is that lower i budget is £3 billion. is that lower than it was? _ budget is £3 billion. is that lower than it was? we _ budget is £3 billion. is that lower than it was? we are _ budget is £3 billion. is that lower than it was? we are spending i budget is £3 billion. is that lower i than it was? we are spending more on the nhs than — than it was? we are spending more on the nhs than we _ than it was? we are spending more on the nhs than we ever— than it was? we are spending more on the nhs than we ever have. _ than it was? we are spending more on the nhs than we ever have. but i than it was? we are spending more on the nhs than we ever have. but is i than it was? we are spending more on the nhs than we ever have. but is it i the nhs than we ever have. but is it lower than it — the nhs than we ever have. but is it lower than it was? _ the nhs than we ever have. but is it lower than it was? it _ the nhs than we ever have. but is it lower than it was? it is _ the nhs than we ever have. but is it lower than it was? it is a _ the nhs than we ever have. but is it lower than it was? it is a £3 - lower than it was? it is a £3 billion budget. _ lower than it was? it is a £3 billion budget. so _ lower than it was? it is a £3 billion budget. so is- lower than it was? it is a £3 billion budget. so is it i lower than it was? it is a £3 i billion budget. so is it lower? a

lot has happened. _ billion budget. so is it lower? a lot has happened. so _ billion budget. so is it lower? a lot has happened. so that i billion budget. so is it lower? a lot has happened. so that is i billion budget. so is it lower? a lot has happened. so that is a i billion budget. so is it lower? a i lot has happened. so that is a yes? the simple answer is — yes. the budget has fallen. when you take inflation into account — it s down by nearly half a billion pounds in england. another thing, the health secretary talked about yesterday was a £3 billion spend on nhs dentists. it's a figure ministers like to talk about— it's a figure ministers like to talk about a — it's a figure ministers like to talk about a lot — it's a figure ministers like to talk about a lot but we should point out that the _ about a lot but we should point out that the 3 — about a lot but we should point out that the 3 billion is notjust government funding, it includes about— government funding, it includes about 750 million spent by all of us on charges — about 750 million spent by all of us on charges for treatment. if you spend _ on charges for treatment. if you spend £50 — on charges for treatment. if you spend £50 on a filling, that's part of the _ spend £50 on a filling, that's part of the 3 _ spend £50 on a filling, that's part of the 3 billion. the government said yesterday is putting more money into dentistry and they want to encourage more dentists to take on nhs patients but there are parts of the country where it's pretty much impossible — the country where it's pretty much impossible now to register and lots of you _ impossible now to register and lots

of you have been getting in touch and highlighting your own examples. carlin _ and highlighting your own examples. carlin plymouth says his nearest dentist— carlin plymouth says his nearest dentist is— carlin plymouth says his nearest dentist is all the way in southampton —— carl in plymouth. the practice he was with for 20 years removed all adults from its patient list. here s a pretty extreme example; the outer hebrides, a remote part of scotland. mairi says she still needs to take both a ferry and two days off work, just to be able to get to the dentist — a 300 mile round trip. all of these challenges mean some people who can afford it are turning to private dentists. but some are taking things into their own hands. we spoke to chris in shropshire who did just that. essentially, what i had to do was get the pliers because it was right at the back and it makes me go squeamish talking about it, give it a target and out it came, so hopefully no more of that. it's impossible to get an nhs appointment

is —— in oswestry in shropshire, so in the future i'm left without a dentist and i can't afford to pay privately, so fingers crossed everything stays in place and i won't have to get these out again. hopefully, fingers crossed. don t try that at home — hopefully he will not have to resort to that procedure again. lots of you have been telling usjust how hard it is to get your teeth checked at the moment. mandy from plymouth says she hasn't had a dentist for over 5 years. when she joined the waiting list for an nhs dentist she was told that the waiting list is... 12 years long! andrew on whatsapp says "my daughter lives in salisbury and travels 250 miles to york to go to the dentist, that's a 500 mile round trip and at least one day off work. alveen lives in west yorkshire. she says "i've been trying to get into an nhs dentist for over 4 years. most off my teeth are broken. it's embarrassing and painful". there is clearly a big problem but the question is the money ministers

announced — the question is the money ministers announced yesterday, is enough to fix the _ announced yesterday, is enough to fix the system?— fix the system? such a contrast, when i fix the system? such a contrast, when i was _ fix the system? such a contrast, when i was younger _ fix the system? such a contrast, when i was younger nobody i fix the system? such a contrast, i when i was younger nobody wanted to go to the dentist and you avoid it, and now so many people are desperate to be able to see a dentist. find if to be able to see a dentist. and if ou leave to be able to see a dentist. and if you leave it _ to be able to see a dentist. and if you leave it for _ to be able to see a dentist. and if you leave it for ages... _ to be able to see a dentist. and if you leave it for ages... if - to be able to see a dentist. and if you leave it for ages... if you i you leave it for ages... if you don't — you leave it for ages... if you don't get _ you leave it for ages... if you don't get a _ you leave it for ages... if you don't get a proper checkup, you can't _ don't get a proper checkup, you can't find — don't get a proper checkup, you can't find the appointments. nick, thank ou can't find the appointments. nick, thank you so _ can't find the appointments. nick, thank you so much, _ can't find the appointments. nick, thank you so much, so _ interesting hearing those comments. you can get an idea of who we are talking about next from the pictures behind us. it's been a pretty stormy couple of weeks across the uk, which can be especially distressing for the wildlife on our coastlines. seals often have to be rescued and nursed back to health, before they can be released into the wild. cornwall seal hospital has seen an increase in the number of pups needing urgent care. john maguire went to see the work being done there. so, lizzie, ithink you actually were on the beach with this one last night. yeah, this one was called at the far end of penhale.

so pitch black. you can get him with a torch. and as you can see, he's very dark himself. the thing that i could see with the torch, there was definitely something wrong with his right eye. like any hospital, the day here at the cornwall seal hospital starts with ward rounds. and for the head vet, the first chance to examine a patient who was rescued and brought in last night. i'm having to listen to the lungs, and his breathing is nice and relaxed. like the storms that so often are the seal pups' main threat, they�* re given names. the current theme is dogs. and so this is dingo. honking the fact that he's so vociferous is a good sign. he has enough energy to complain and doesn't of course realise that the staff here are saving his life. we're kind of doing that intensive care period where they need a lot of veterinary attention each day and they need help feeding themselves as well. so initially, they will be rehydrated with fluids for the first sort of 2a to 36 hours and then we'll focus on starting to get some fish introduced to them and try and get them eating fish

on their own as quickly as possible. being a seal pup is tough. they only stay with their mothers for three weeks after birth and at that point should weigh more than 30 kilos. all the patients here are underweight and struggled to fend for themselves in the winter seas. so then the last one that we have is jack russell, who came in yesterday from newquay town. lizzie started out by caring for the rescued pups in her garage, but now the operation has expanded into this purpose built hospital in somercotes, near newquay, where they are busier than ever before. so loads of challenges. so predominantly things like climate change causing more storms at the time that seal pups are really small and having to learn how to make their way in the world. they have to fight against swell. they become malnourished, dehydrated, bashed up against rocks. so that's a big issue that's human—caused. disturbance. people getting way too close to these animals could cause things

like separation between mums and pups. and then we have things like entanglement issues with things like ghost fishing nets, which can cause a huge hazard to these animals. and this is an example of that abandoned fishing gear. ghost gear, as it's known. 11 metres long and obviously hazardous. this is actually the largest piece of net we've taken off a live seal in the charity. this was a couple of years ago near st ives. what happened 7 the flippers get stuck in there? this is an old piece of gear. it has got holes in it in places where the net has actually already been damaged from being dashed on rocks in storms. and the seal had managed to get its head through there, but luckily it was found before any real damage had been done. but this pup only weighs 13 kilos. remember, three weeks old, once they've left their mother, they should be something like 30 or a0 kilos. you can tell that he's undernourished because of the folds in his skin. if he was up to weight, he'd look like a blimp. but as you can see, he really is underfed.

all right, then. all right. thank you. this time of year, they receive up to 20 calls a day. are you alright to do that? yeah. so we're going right now? so apparently down the stairs, they said, but imagine steps. 0k. and on the right. so lizzie�*s just had a call about a pup that's on one of the beaches on the north cornwall coast. so we're just going to go and see if it needs rescuing. it may not, it may be in good enough condition, but the people who called in thought that it was vulnerable. so we'll see what happens. no, no sign? maybe it's not there. there's one in the water. the pup looks like it's quite awake and alert when it's looking back out at us. it means it's either been disturbed by people or it may have just gone back out of its own accord. but yeah, we like to see them out in the wild and quite often when we come out on call outs, that happens. it's obviously gone out and it's probably quite happy. fingers crossed. yeah, fingers crossed. we'd better have that outcome than bring them into us. and they'll probably be happier if we get off the beach. i think so. i think so, yeah.

so a positive outcome. and just as well, as this is already a record year for rescues and welfare centres are full. so the best thing for pups is for them to be fit, fat and happily fishing in the sea. john maguire, bbc news, cornwall. stormy seas and stormy weather has been a blight, which is an understatement in recent months and weeks and now we have a bit of snow on the way, and notjust a bit. carol, you will take us through a load of pictures that you have been sent this morning.— sent this morning. that's right. good morning. _ sent this morning. that's right. good morning. starting - sent this morning. that's right. good morning. starting to - sent this morning. that's right. | good morning. starting to snow across_ good morning. starting to snow across parts of northern england and north_ across parts of northern england and north wales and we've had snow overnight— north wales and we've had snow overnight in the north and west of scotland — overnight in the north and west of scotland and this is one of the weather— scotland and this is one of the weather watchers pictures taken weather watchers pictures ta ken earlier _ weather watchers pictures taken earlier in— weather watchers pictures taken earlier in staffordshire and you can see it _ earlier in staffordshire and you can see it starting to fall now. this one in— see it starting to fall now. this one in barnsley, and another in buxton — one in barnsley, and another in buxton and some of these areas are covered _ buxton and some of these areas are covered by— buxton and some of these areas are covered by the met office weather warning _ covered by the met office weather warning which i will show you in a
