6:07 am
the safe areas that were declared no longer safe, and if these people have to move, where i move? can they moved to the beach area, which is already overcrowded? we don't have the supplies available to take him, to accommodate them, to support them, because the environment there is not conducive for humanitarian operation of this kind. so we are really fearful of the horrific nature of where we are. it could only ever get worse. donald trump has said he would encourage russia to attack any nato member that fails to pay its bills as part of the military alliance. members of nato commit to defend any nation in the bloc that gets attacked, but speaking during a rally in south carolina, mr trump said he had told the leader of another country he wouldn't do so if they didn't meet their financial obligations. one of the presidents of a big country said, well, sir, if we don't pay and we are attacked by russia,

"heartfelt thanks," he wrote, "for the many messages of support and good wishes i have received in recent days." the king is normally the one demanding more public engagements, more meetings, more time to talk. but now this public work has
6:09 am
ended, and the king is, like many of his age, a cancer patient. by the usual royal standards, the palace has been pretty open about the king's health. in his message, the king wrote how heartened he is that sharing his diagnoses had helped remote public understanding. a more open palace and a more open king, as monarch and man face a threat so many have seen and understand through friends and relatives. jonny dymond, bbc news. police are continuing to search
6:10 am
the river thames for the body of abdul ezedi, the suspect in the clapham chemical attack. detectives believe ezedi entered the waterfrom chelsea bridge in west london on 31 january, just hours after he threw a corrosive substance over a mother and her two young children, causing serious injuries. the housing secretary, michael gove, is expected to announce a new law allowing empty high street shops to be quickly converted into homes. the relaxation of planning laws would allow commercial buildings to become dwellings without planning permission and without the need to first stand empty. incentives to encourage developers to build on brownfield land are also expected. the government says it is cracking down on parents who don't pay child maintenance by allowing missing payments to be chased up afterjust six weeks, rather than six months. our political correspondent helen catt has the details. when a parent is deliberately
6:11 am
avoiding trying to pay maintenance for their child, avoiding trying to pay maintenance fortheir child, usually avoiding trying to pay maintenance for their child, usually the child maintenance service will try to recover that money through things like directly from the parents�* employer or from like directly from the parents�* employer orfrom other like directly from the parents�* employer or from other bank accounts. but if that doesn't work on any subject of enforcement action, like sending in the bailiffs or disqualifying someone from holding a driving license, then they would need to go to a court to get a court order as it currently stands. what the government is changing is to say that instead of doing that, the cms will itself be able to issue something called an administrative liability order, which will allow them to take those actions. and what ministers say is that will speed up the enforcement time from around six months to around six weeks. now, there will still need to be some legislation that put through parliament to make this change, so that we are expecting to happen in the spring. there will be one change, though, that happens very quickly. there is at the moment a £20 fee to access the child maintenance service. that is going to be scrapped, and that changes

coming in on 26 february. we will be discussing that issue in more detail a little bit later on. about a sheep race, dubbed the lamb national, being cancelled. well, the organisers have done a ewe turn. the barton carnival in lincolnshire initially bowed to complaints that the animals didn't consent to the race. the committee now says that decision was rash, and it is satisfied the event should go ahead. that is a relief. i was trying to think of some sort of spun around sheep following the crowd and giving in to pressure —— some sort of pun. good morning, simon. a lovely view behind you. good morning, simon. a lovely view behind vom— good morning, simon. a lovely view behind yon-— good morning, simon. a lovely view behind you. yes, good morning. this was yesterday _ behind you. yes, good morning. this was yesterday in _ behind you. yes, good morning. this was yesterday in north _ behind you. yes, good morning. this was yesterday in north wales. - behind you. yes, good morning. this was yesterday in north wales. many | was yesterday in north wales. many of us it is has been a bit quieter thanit of us it is has been a bit quieter than it has been over the last few
6:13 am
days but today there will be some rain and fog. quite nasty conditions this morning, actually, for some of you. yes, good morning. but the rain in the fog should tend to clear away, and for most of us today we are looking at some bright spells and also a few showers moving their way in as well. let's have a look at the radar picture. this is where the rain is falling at the moment. you can see some showers towards the south and southwest, but this area of rain here moving its way north and into eastern scotland, some foggy conditions beneath that area of rain. dense fog in central and southern scotland, north wales in north—west england. that will gradually tend to clear away. and then there will be some spells developing across many areas, and you can see that ran clearing away from eastern parts of england, the eastern and north—east of scotland holding on to the rain into the afternoon. elsewhere, some showers moving their way in a maximum temperatures this afternoon at six to eight celsius in scotland, slightly less cold than it was yesterday, about nine to 11 degrees elsewhere. through tonight, some
6:14 am
showers moving their way eastward, but actually we will have some clear skies across many areas and further showers moving their way into the west. it will turn quite chilly overnight tonight. temperatures around about zero to two or three celsius. there will be a touch of frost to start off on monday morning. and then we have this area of low pressure just situated to the north of the uk. now, around an area of low pressure, the winds go in and anticlockwise direction, and that means we will pick up some cold air from scandinavia. it comes into iceland, into the north atlantic, and you can see there we have that cold air mass across most parts. so, yes, chilly start on monday morning. plenty of dry, plenty of sunny weather for many of us. showers, though, moving their way into the west, and there will be some snow, but that will be over the higher ground across western scotland, perhaps northern england as well. temperatures about eight or nine celsius. forthe temperatures about eight or nine celsius. for the rest of the week, we lose the area of low pressure but we lose the area of low pressure but we will have areas of low pressure moving their way in from the southwest, and that will bring some further spells of rain. on tuesday,
6:15 am
the most across northern and eastern areas. that southwesterly winds, though, means that we will start to see the cloud thickening with some outbreaks of rain moving their way across parts of england, wales, northern ireland into the afternoon. temperatures coming up a touch by tuesday, about seven to 10 celsius. but as we go through the rest of the week, those temperatures will rise even further because that milder southwesterly airflow continues to move in. it isjust the southwesterly airflow continues to move in. it is just the far north of scotland that will continue with a bit of cold air here, but as we go through the week, for many of us it is a bit of a mixed picture. there will be some sunshine, rain at times, moving its way through from the southwest to the north—east. as i said, temperatures will start to rise. ten to 14 celsius in london for the end of the week, about eight or nine degrees further north. at least it is consistently _ degrees further north. at least it is consistently wet _ degrees further north. at least it is consistently wet everywhere! i is consistently wet everywhere! don't be so pessimistic, it will not be raining all the time and all of these places. it

schools across england could soon become unsafe as cash—strapped head teachers plan to cut staff numbers amid growing budget deficits. the department for education told the paper that school funding was due to increase. a mixed bag inside the papers this morning. ijust pulled one out, sir eltonjohn, holding an auction of his personal memorabilia, 1000 items, hoping to raise £8 million for charity and among them, costumes, shoes, sculptures, a grand piano! some of his wigs and his bentley, and i cut this out based on the headline which reads" fans to pay for elton's wigs". aha, the headline which reads" fans to pay for elton's wigs".— pay for elton's wigs". a lot to cover this _ pay for elton's wigs". a lot to cover this morning. - pay for elton's wigs". a lot to cover this morning. but - pay for elton's wigs". a lot to cover this morning. but this i pay for elton's wigs". a lot to | cover this morning. but this is pay for elton's wigs". a lot to - cover this morning. but this is bbc breakfast. cover this morning. but this is bbc iztreakfast- a _ cover this morning. but this is bbc breakfast. a lovely _ cover this morning. but this is bbc breakfast. a lovely idea _ cover this morning. but this is bbc

6:20 am
this is where the worst album collection began — five men's faces on rabbits. steve goldman, whose collection it is, had this album. he thought, "well, maybe i could collect other naff covers," and it started him off. the world's worst album covers is at the bailiffgate museum and gallery until the end of april. some of those are pretty special! some of those are pretty special! some of those are pretty special! some of them are the stuff of nightmares, playing the guitar in your boxer shorts! adam powell reporting there. we'd love to see some of the dodgy artwork in your record collection. go and have a look through your albums, find the naffest cover, and send us a pic. you can use whatsapp, e—mail or x — the details are all on screen and please remember to include your name. i listen to music mostly now on the

we are on swift watch. according to us news networks she has been —— landed. so those people sweating over their breakfast can be relieved. people have been calling it the taylor swift super bowl, fairly or unfairly, 150 million people in the us alone watch last year and they expect that to be higher this year because of the interest that she has brought to the game. but you know what it will be like. just like here, purists will say forget the taylor swift stuff, you have patrick mahomes, two amazing quarterbacks, so many stories in this super bowl that should be taking precedence. but it is an event, it is entertaining. it is an event, it is entertaining. it is an event, it is entertaining. it is about the (half—time is an event, it is entertaining. it is about the (half-time whistle), all that sort of stuff. bud is about the (half-time whistle), all that sort of stuff.— all that sort of stuff. and the half-time — all that sort of stuff. and the half-time show, _ all that sort of stuff. and the half-time show, and - all that sort of stuff. and the half-time show, and usher, | all that sort of stuff. and the . half-time show, and usher, and all that sort of stuff. and the - half-time show, and usher, and all half—time show, and usher, and all

6:34 am
towards its war machine. iran's client groups around the middle east get a hammering from us missiles. but what's the point of having the americans in the region? maintaining counterterrorism efforts against isis, and also, they check iranian influence in syria, in iraq, in lebanon. and, is ethiopia yet again going to be a byword for hunger and despair? this is the moment to try and fix this problem, - not six months down the line l when an awful lot more people have died and it's much harderl to turn the whole thing around. russia invades its neighbour after signing solemn undertakings that it wouldn't. some of the richest countries on earth impose crippling sanctions on it.
6:35 am
and the invasion, far from being the walkover russia assumed, is only partly successful and hideously expensive. missile fire. so, what would you expect the result on russia's economy to be, two years after the invasion? well, the international monetary fund estimates that the russian economy grew by 3% in 2023. russian factories are operating flat out. russian banks have little trouble moving money around. russian oil and diamonds are earning huge amounts. so what can the west do about it? the bbc�*s economics editor, faisal islam, has been listening to the ideas of several political and economic leaders. well, the context is, obviously when russia invaded ukraine, there was the most extraordinary attempt at economic containment of russia from the west that went further than anyone has seen before, in terms of seizing central bank
6:36 am
assets, sovereign assets. and yet, the russian economy has proved to be far more resilient, and resilient somewhat underplays it. there's two. . .there's two reasons for that. despite some restrictions on export, obviously, to western nations... ..the price being paid for the oil and gas that was still flowing meant that revenues were still bumper. the kremlin and its war machine kept on being lubricated with the proceeds of these... ..of these sales. but then on top of that, the central bank was quite skilful in, if you like, putting up buffers around its economy to protect the foreign exchange that was in russia. and then the next stage of that has been a quite extraordinary transformation of the russian economy into a war economy, with massive defence spending, with the reorientation of its industrial base
6:37 am
towards its war machine. so when you were in davos, what did you pick up about how the west is going to counter all this? we hear of stalemates, of the fact that the ukrainian offensive didn't work. you know, this extraordinary resilience of the russian economy is also feeding in to what i heard at the world economic forum and other places from world leaders about where they think this is going. the common presumption is that throughout this year, that situation of stalemate doesn't fundamentally alter. and so they're looking for other ideas and new thinking. 0k. what other ideas? it was pretty radicaljust to freeze the $300 billion worth of foreign exchange reserves. they've been sitting there frozen for two or three years. now the move is — this was in a public statement from volodymyr zelensky, the ukrainian president, obviously, from him — that he thinks the whole 300 billion should be redeployed towards ukraine. these assets were frozen, predominantly in european sort of central banks and what's
6:38 am
known as clearing houses, which are kind of exchanges where you sort of deposit these assets. but they belong still to russia... they belong to the... yeah. ..in technical terms? well, in legal terms... in legal terms. ..they belong — in every terms, they belong to russia. this is a very interesting balancing act. on the one hand, a handy pot of potential money to solve a problem caused by the fact that the war�*s going on and the americans, some americans are losing the appetite for it. but what's at the back of the mind of some central bankers, some of the financiers, too, is the unintended consequences of going for this russian money, in terms of the perception of the safety of europe as a financial piggy bank... ..for other nations, who... ..for whom there is questions or controversy about their
6:39 am
human rights record or their local diplomatic spats. you would have to factor that in, wouldn't you? if you're going to think of where to put your money, you'd have to wonder, "well, if they did that to the russians, "maybe they could do that to us?" so what you're now seeing is various efforts trying to deploy the assets, the russian assets, somehow, without scaring the horses around the world. so there's various sort of slightly innovative and interesting ways they try and do that. well, ok, we'll leave the 300 billion in place, but after one, two or three years with the rate of interest and inflation... ..the value, even of the annual proceeds of those assets, is in the tens of billions. hmm. that could be enough. yeah. it's still dodgy, isn't it? i mean, you know, if you've got £50,000 in the bank, the bank manager doesn't like you, the bank manager then says, "well, we won't... "we're not taking the principal, but we'll use
6:40 am
"the income from that." i mean, that's unthinkable. well, the russians have already talked about taking this to court, which raises a completely — i mean, it could be a somewhat farcical situation. i don't know if they'd go to the high court here in london or the european court ofjustice or something like that. you know, they're already thinking this through. it's definitely focused the attention, i think, of moscow that this could happen. where does that take us? where does that take russia? i think the question that's being put in financial and diplomatic circles is almost the opposite question, which is if it doesn't happen, where is the money going to come from for ukraine to hold the line, to defend... yes, well, that's the other... ..to defend itself? yes. it is literally going to run out of cash. it's extraordinary that it comes to this. but this big decision is definitively on the cards, if... i would say it is going to happen in some form. the precise form could have significant consequences.
6:41 am
together: allahu. . .allahu akbar. it's not an outright war yet, but iran's client groups around the middle east have been attacking american installations and killing american soldiers, and the us has been striking back hard. but what's been the real effect? i spoke to samia hosny, middle east specialist at bbc monitoring. several senior commanders of these militias were killed. that's first. also in syria, we've seen retaliatory strikes from the same militias. we saw a number of syrian kurdish fighters killed in retaliatory strikes on us bases in the northeast of syria. recently also, there was a report by reuters suggesting that iran will scale...scale back its operations in syria. it seems that they have started to withdraw their senior officers in damascus and in deir ez—zor, in eastern syria, and they'll be apparently operating remotely
6:42 am
to try to avert a direct confrontation. the whole question of whether the united states keeps its troops in in iraq, obviously, under biden, they're going to do that. do people in the region think that if donald trump becomes president, he will move out of iraq? well, in 2019, donald trump ordered a partial withdrawal of us forces in the northeast of syria. mm. obviously, he was trying to win support of a conservative base in the united states that is strongly supportive of the idea of an isolationist foreign policy. but that would be a sensational defeat for the united states on the world stage, wouldn't it?
6:43 am
though militarily insignificant, the small numbers of us forces in both iraq and syria are instrumental in maintaining counterterrorism efforts against isis. also, they support the syrian kurds, the syrian democratic forces in the northeast of syria. and also they check iranian influence in syria, in iraq, in lebanon, and they might be able to prevent further offensives by turkey in northern syria against the kurds. can ijust take you back to the question of isis? it's a much shrunken organisation nowadays, isn't it? well, first of all, it hasn't got a territory. it lost its vast territories in iraq and syria. it's not a coherent organisation in these two countries, syria and iraq.
6:44 am
injanuary, it launched a new global campaign to hit back at its enemies. so we've seen an escalation of attacks in syria, in iraq, in afghanistan, in the philippines, in african countries. i mean, it's not on a grand scale. if the united states was taken out of the equation, the effects would be really quite intense, wouldn't they? so on the counterterrorism front, isis has been significantly weakened. so some argue that local actors in iraq and syria, so the iraqi security forces and the syrian kurds may be able to sustain these counterterrorism efforts without having to have direct american support. and also, america can strike isis remotely without having bases in syria or iraq.
6:45 am
but that's not how it's going to be presented, is it? it will be seen as a major defeat for the us, wouldn't it? a major victory for iran, for russia, for proxy groups, for hezbollah, for assad in syria. and, of course, a major defeat for syrian kurds, a major betrayal. let's recall that, in 2019, when us troops withdrew partially from northern syria, there was a sense of disappointment and betrayal, basically. they feel repeatedly let down by their western allies. archive: dawn - and as the sun breaks through the piercing - chill of night on the plain... no—one who watched the bbc�*s famous pictures of the ethiopian famine in 1984, 40 years ago now, will everforget them. they brought about a huge outpouring of public generosity
6:46 am
around the world, even if, at the same time, they fixed a largely false image in our minds of africa as a failing continent, unable to care for itself. in the years since then, ethiopia has enjoyed some success, politically and economically. but the impact of war and climate change in the horn of africa is hard to protect against and the threat of widespread hunger is returning to ethiopia. james landale, the bbc diplomatic correspondent, spoke to me from addis ababa, where he's been travelling with the british minister for africa, andrew mitchell. the problem with so many of these food crises that if they occasionally do become full—blown famines, they're much harder to deal with once they are famines. and i think what andrew mitchell and others are saying here at the moment, and the un, is, "look, this is the moment "to try and fix this problem, not six months down the line "when an awful lot more people
6:47 am
have died and it's much harder "to turn the whole thing around." i remember being in afghanistan a couple of years ago and seeing all the signs of a pre—famine like you've got there. but the food supplies were made available, the crisis went away. i mean, is that a possibility? as a result of this conflict here in ethiopia that only, you know, ended over a year ago, there are still four million people who are displaced from their homes. that means they're not in their farms actually trying to feed themselves, be resilient, and the reason they can't go back is because their homes are still occupied by amharan forces or eritrean forces or different militias. then you've got a kind of...a sort of economic problem here, which is the economy in ethiopia is not good and strong at the moment, so it's struggling to find the money to fill those budgets to do its own welfare. and then, as i say, you've got the problem that the aid agencies at the moment, the united nations and others,
6:48 am
their budgets going forward in the future for the rest of this year are looking pretty empty because all the money has just been going elsewhere — to ukraine and other parts of the middle east. the other problem they've got is this — last year, international aid was suspended for about five months because it was suddenly discovered that huge amounts of aid that was coming in here was being siphoned off, stolen, and ending up in the hands of various armed forces and, as a result of that, the united nations, the united states, they suspended their aid. i suppose there will be people that say it's endemic really in the horn of africa, generally, the lack of food supplies. i mean, maybe it's because of global warming, maybe it's because of politics on the ground, that there's nothing anybody can do long term about it. all you can do isjust put sticking plasters on the situation, like the one where you are. this is an incredibly vibrant, populous country. there are parts of it that
6:49 am
are incredibly fertile. you know, there are governance issues, the nature of the federal system, the relationship between the regions and the federal authorities here. there is the fact that there are some pretty large standing armies in this country, and that means that there's a bunch of people, a lot of them sitting around, not being economically productive. what we're seeing at the moment is a confluence of events. you've got a drought, you've got the consequences of civil war. there are still parts of this country, as i say, where there are little bits of fighting going on, and they're inaccesible, a little bit of disease creeping in and a lot of inflation. all of that together with the international communityjust sort of distracted elsewhere, that's what's leading to the crisis at the moment. and some of those issues can be changed. they�* re not permanent. is it your impression, generally speaking, that we, the international community, are actually getting a bit better about sorting out these things than we were, say, 40 years ago,
6:50 am
when the great, the appalling ethiopian food crisis arose? i think we are getting better at it. i think that obviously information and technology has improved dramatically. it means that people are able to report much quicker what's happening on the ground in a way that before they wouldn't. that's why i think the scenes that we saw in the—mid 1980s, i think it would be very hard to reach that point, because i think that the international community would be forced to act before we got to that situation. that said, we might know more — does it mean the international community responds better? i think, as ever, the international community sometimes isjust distracted by crises. there are always other crises going on, and so i think that there are lots of things that still take place in the world that go unreported, that don't actually
6:51 am
get the same attention that other crises do. we in the media are always, i think, as guilty of that as governments. whenever i talk to leaders and politicians here in africa, or in asia or elsewhere, and i was saying to them sort of, "are you concerned by russia's invasion "of ukraine", for example, "or what's happening "in the middle east?" they sort of look at you and just say, "well, "we have our wars too and many, many people die in those wars, "and the international community seems slightly less engaged with our wars than it is with these other conflicts." another unforgettable image, this time much more recent — gang members in the central american state of el salvador imprisoned and humiliated. the country, which only a few years ago had the highest
6:52 am
murder rate in the world, has seen an extraordinary reduction in killings. and the man who oversaw it, president nayib bukele, who's of christian palestinian origin, hasjust been re—elected by an overwhelming majority. translation: in all the history of the world, since democracy l has existed, never has a project won with the amount of votes that we have won today. it is literally the highest percentage in all history. which is curious, because the salvadorian constitution limits its presidents to one term only. so what's going on there with president bukele? leire ventas of bbc mundo is in the capital, san salvador. on election evening, he claimed he secured 85% of the votes and also that his party, nuevas ideas, has secured almost all the seats of the national assembly.
6:53 am
so that would be an overwhelming majority. he insisted on the fairness of the process. he said this will be the first time in history that one single party will rule a country within a fully, completely democratic system. there have been some claims of irregularities, but still the government thinks it's been fair, and, yeah, the support is huge for bukele. and people are generally accepting what looks like the result? yes, there's calm and tranquillity, and i've been travelling around the country these days, so i've visited different cities, i've been in marginalised neighbourhoods and markets and coastal areas and, yeah, the sense i got is that his support, its big. now, the salvadorian constitution says that
6:54 am
you can't run more than once. how come he's running for a second time? yes. his presidential bid was condemned by critics because it was approved by loyalists he appointed in the supreme court's constitutional chamber. but it seems that people really don't care. theyjust want him to remain in power. it's not very long — i think 2015 — that 103 people out of every 100,000 were being murdered in el salvador, the highest rate of murder in the world, and that's gone dropping right down to something like 17 per 100,000. are those figures genuine? and how has it been done? as we already mentioned, bukele's a very popular leader
6:55 am
and his popularity is mainly linked to his results on security. the security situation has changed completely. during bukele's mandate, it dropped to the lowest in the last 30 years. so how did he do it? two years ago, he started a crackdown on gangs. gangs used to control almost the whole territory — rival gangs, very violent ones. and he put in place some special measures that he's been... ..the assembly has been renewing every now and then. so that special measures, these draconian powers to the police and the military also, critics say, limit civil rights. families of detainees say they haven't been able to see them. some of them were detained without evidence or without due process. there have been big critics on that too. but still, during his speech,
6:56 am
one of the bits that was most cheered was when bukele talked about these emergency measures, of these exceptional measures. i read somewhere that 1% of the entire country's population are in prison. is that correct? with more than 75,000 people arrested in the last two years, now el salvador is one of the countries with the highest imprisonment rate in the world. is it possible, do you think, that bukele will be president for life? i think we need to see what happens in the next five years. we've seen this story in other countries too, but he hasn't mentioned anything like that. but he will have a huge majority in the assembly, he will be president with an unprecedented backing. so we have to see what happens and what his next moves are. leire ventas speaking
6:57 am
from san salvador. hard to believe, but iran's islamic revolution is 45 years old. after the shah left, ayatollah khomeini flew to tehran from exile in paris on 1st february, 1979. his support wasn'tjust based on radical religious activists. far—left—wing revolutionaries had supported him too, and soon the factions fell out and started fighting. then, the following year, 1980, iran's neighbour, saddam hussein of iraq, invaded, kicking off a war that lasted eight long years. iran only survived by mobilising genuine and patriotic support, and by repression. i often visited iran in the '80s and '90s and though the rule of the ayatollahs felt stable, it never seemed permanent. and yet it's overcome several popular uprisings from 2009 onwards.
6:58 am
its leadership apart, iran is remarkably sophisticated and quite wealthy, and a lot of middle class people are strongly influenced by western ideas. the only way the regime can carry on is by a pretty crude use of force. and yet, urban women, in particular, challenge the rules of the regime on a daily basis. despite this weakness at home, though, iran's government has turned itself into a major player in the middle east, challenging israel and the western powers and becoming a leading producer of military drones. but the ayatollahs know that large numbers of their own citizens long for an end to the islamic republic, so they've got to tread very carefully. will the revolution be around to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2029?
6:59 am
it hardly seems likely, but then most of us never thought it could reach 45. well, that's it from this edition of unspun world. from the team and from me, goodbye until we meet again. bases in syria or iraq. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with ben thompson and nina warhurst. our headlines today: a vigil is to be held in memory of brianna ghey, a year after the teenager was stabbed to death in a warrington park. foreign secretary lord cameron says he is deeply concerned about israel's plans to launch a military offensive in the city of rafah, where more than a million
7:00 am
palestinians are sheltering. king charles has given his heartfelt thanks for messages of support after he was diagnosed with cancer. scotland couldn't quite get over the line against france — or did they? spot the ball in all that. a controversial late call denies them victory in the six nations. and good morning. it's a rather foggy and wet start to the day for many of us, but that rain is going to clear. there'll be some sunny spells and some showers into the afternoon. i'll have the full forecast shortly. it's sunday 11 february. our main story: a vigil will be held today to celebrate the life of brianna ghey, exactly a year since the 16—year—old was murdered in warrington. brianna was stabbed 28 times by two teenagers she had arranged to meet. her mum, esther, will address the crowd at today's event, as yunus mulla reports.
7:01 am
brianna ghey, a ball of energy, fearless and strong — that side of her shared with thousands of followers on tiktok. there was public outrage and huge shock after the 16—year—old was murdered. brianna was tra nsgender. it didn't define her, but vigils were held across the country and part of the world. brianna was so complex. she came across as being really outgoing, and she was. she was confident, she was outgoing, she was lively. but on the other hand, she was struggling with her mental health, and as a parent, that's really difficult to deal with. brianna was lured from her home by someone she trusted. that friend and another boy executed a plan and stabbed the 16—year—old 28 times. scarlettjenkinson and eddie ratcliffe are serving life sentences. they watched violent videos on the dark web and plotted the murder using messaging apps.
7:02 am
esther ghey wants the law changed to restrict under—16 access to some apps on smartphones. at a vigil here in warrington today, brianna ghey�*s family, and those close to her, and campaigners want to celebrate the teenager for who she was and move the focus away from the horrific and tragic events of 12 months ago, by continuing their efforts to create a lasting legacy for brianna. this cherry blossom tree is a symbol of that campaign. mindfulness helped brianna's mother in the early stages of grief. the aim — at least one teacher in every school especially trained in the calming technique. it's building mentalfitness, the same way that if you would go to the gym and build muscles by using heavier weights. it's the same kind of thing, so it's just exercise for your brain. and yeah, like i say, it can increase empathy,

it can increase self—compassion, and i think mental resilience is such a big one. like so many teenagers, brianna lived her life on her phone. her family say young people need to be supported and protected. yunus mulla, bbc news, warrington. and ben has a round—up of some of the day's other stories. the foreign secretary, lord cameron, has said he is deeply concerned over israel's plan to launch a military offensive in the gazan city of rafah. he said the priority should be an immediate pause in fighting to allow aid in and hostages out. our correspondent barbara plett usher is injerusalem. there are further warnings, are they making any difference? weill. there are further warnings, are they making any difference?— making any difference? well, the authority say _ making any difference? well, the authority say that _ making any difference? well, the authority say that rafah - making any difference? well, the authority say that rafah is - making any difference? well, the authority say that rafah is the - making any difference? well, the| authority say that rafah is the last remaining stronghold of hamas fighters and in order to win the war they have to go in. they also seem to believe that key members of the leadership are there, but equally,
7:04 am
these warnings are also very serious. you have a million people crowded into rafah in the last four once, many of them living in tents, they don't have enough food, water and medicine and they have already been following israeli evacuation orders, which now cover about two—thirds of the gaza strip. the question is, where could they go? i asked the un humanitarian co—ordinator that question. the safe areas that were declared are no longer safe, and if these people have to move, where can they move? they can't move to the beach area, which is already overcrowded. and we don't have the supplies available to take them, to accommodate them, to support them, because the environment there is not conducive for a humanitarian operation of this kind. so we are really fearful of the horrific nature of where we are. it could only ever get worse. it's unimaginable, you would have thought. _ it's unimaginable, you would have thought, that it could get worse. and isreel—
7:05 am
thought, that it could get worse. and israel say they have found further tunnels under gaza. what can you tell us? the further tunnels under gaza. what can you tell us?— you tell us? the latest hamas panel runs under the _ you tell us? the latest hamas panel runs under the headquarters - you tell us? the latest hamas panel runs under the headquarters of - you tell us? the latest hamas panel runs under the headquarters of the l runs under the headquarters of the un agency that deals with palestinians, known as unrwa. they said that palestinians are using the un's electricity and they found weapons inside the building itself. some people see this as the latest chapter in an israeli campaign against unrwa, which they accuse of collaborating with hamas, and it is worth noting that hannah was 18 metres deep and did not have a shaft that directly connected it to the unrwa facility. the head of the organisation has spoken out and said the un agency does not have the capacity to find out what is beneath its premises. it doesn't have that sort of expertise. he said that the building had been last inspected in september and that it had been evacuated in october when the war began, so it had no information about how the facility was being used. ., ., ., , . the former us president donald trump has said he would encourage russia
7:06 am
to attack any nato member that fails to pay to be part of the military alliance. members of nato commit to defend any nation in the bloc that gets attacked, but speaking during a rally in south carolina, mr trump, who is seeking re—election as president, said he had told the leader of another country he wouldn't do so if they didn't meet their financial obligations. one of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by russia, will you protect us? i said, you didn't pay — you're delinquent? he said, yes, let's say that happened. no, i would not protect you. in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. you got to pay your bills. bosses at the technology company fujitsu were paid more than £1 million a year on average during the horizon contract which led to the post office scandal. the company has apologised
7:07 am
for its role and says it will make a contribution to compensation for those who were wrongly accused of theft and fraud. here is our business correspondent ben king. fujitsu was the company that built horizon, and it has admitted there were bugs in the system from the very start. finally, 555 of us now, ready to tell our stories to a court. more than 900 sub—postmasters have been convicted using evidence from that flawed system, while the bosses at fujitsu made millions. fujitsu's uk accounts don't tell us how much each individual board member made. they just tell us what the highest—paid director made in total, and at most companies, that would be the chief executive. i swear by almighty god... ..that the evidence i shall give... keith todd was boss of icl, as it was called then, when horizon was switched on in 1999.
7:08 am
he left the following year, and icl paid £4.4 million as compensation for loss of office. in 2008 the top earner, presumably the top director, david courtley, earned up to £2.3 million. four years later, duncan tait took over. in 2019, the highest—paid director earned £2.4 million. fujitsu apologises and is sorry for our part in this appalling miscarriage of justice. the current boss is paul patterson, who appeared in front of mps last month. he earned up to £408,000 last year. since 1999, top bosses have made a total of £26 million. alison hall ran a post office in west yorkshire. she was wrongly convicted of false accounting because of horizon errors. that was overturned three years ago. every bonus what's been paid to any of them, and even post office ltd,
7:09 am
it should all be handed back. all of them — every single one of them. they shouldn't get a penny, none of them. they don't deserve it. the former sub—postmaster kevinjones has campaigned for years and now sits on the board overseeing compensation. they've quite clearly been paid millions of pounds for failure, but that failure had consequences. it ended up in people's lives being ruined, but also individuals being sent to prison. and that, i think, is something which fujitsu needs to explain. paul patterson, david courtley and keith todd declined to comment. duncan tait said he was sorry for the damage done and any role fujitsu played. fujitsu has offered its deepest apologies and says it will make a contribution to compensation for the victims based on the findings of the inquiry. the housing secretary, michael gove, is expected to announce a new law allowing empty high street shops to be quickly converted into homes. the relaxation of planning laws would allow commercial buildings to become dwellings without planning permission and without the need to first stand empty. incentives to encourage developers to build on brownfield land are also expected.
7:10 am
the government says it is cracking down on parents who don't pay child maintenance. it can currently take six months for the child maintenance service to apply for extra powers through the courts to send bailiffs or seize goods to recover the money, but this could drop to as little as six weeks. king charles is expected to attend church at sandringham today after thanking the public for the support he has received following his cancer diagnosis. in a written statement, the king also praised the organisations which support cancer patients and their families. our royal correspondent jonny dymond has more. six days after the revelation of cancer and the start of treatment, a message from the king beginning with thanks. "heartfelt thanks," he wrote, "for the many messages of support and good wishes i have received in recent days." the king is normally the one demanding more public engagements, more meetings, more time to talk.
7:11 am
but now this public work has ended, and the king is, like many of his age, a cancer patient. by the usual royal standards, the palace has been pretty open about the king's health. in his message, the king wrote how heartened he is that sharing his diagnosis had helped remote public understanding. a more open palace and a more open king, as monarch and man face a threat so many have seen and understand through friends and relatives. jonny dymond, bbc news.

moment, until around april. in terms of this estate, there are elements of this estate, there are elements of it that i completely closed off, so this is a private royal estate for the king. as you have been hearing, though, he has made his cancer diagnosis public, as well as he did the enlarged prostate diagnosis. so there is an element of, of course, and he has said he wants to raise awareness, to enable people to see that he is going through something that so many other people go through as well. but then there is also that private side of him, because he isjust a human being, at the end of the day, and here he is able to have some sense of previously with everything that he is going through. for of previously with everything that he is going through.— he is going through. for now, louisa, thanks _ he is going through. for now, louisa, thanks very _ he is going through. for now, louisa, thanks very much. . he is going through. for now, | louisa, thanks very much. we he is going through. for now, - louisa, thanks very much. we will talk to you later. it's super bowl sunday — a feast of both american football and snacking. and a baker from walsall has created the ultimate treat for the big day — a life—sized taylor swift cake.

7:15 am
you are travelling this morning, some dense fog patches and low visibility. rain affecting eastern areas as orbit through today the rain should ease off and i think we will see some sunny spells and scattered showers as we go into this afternoon. where is the rain? moving its way north and eastern areas, heavy and persistent. showers across the south and southwest and that will continue. foggy conditions in these parts and it would take a few more hours until the fog clears away and sunny spells developing into the afternoon. the rain clearing from the northeast of england but the east northeast scotland, rather went into afternoon. showers in the south and a few showers elsewhere developing. some sunny spells also but temperatures getting to about eight degrees or nine —— 11 degrees in the southeast. through tonight,
7:16 am
the rain were clear away from the northeast of scotland. further showers spreading into western areas but there will be lots of clear spells and turning chilly tonight. temperatures getting close to freezing and there could be a touch of frost on monday morning. the reason is this area of low pressure sitting towards iceland. the wind travels anticlockwise around low pressure and that means we draw colder air from scandinavia through the north atlantic and that is why we have the temperatures lower on monday morning. with that, some wintry showers mostly over higher ground over the highlands and perhaps northern wales. elsewhere, for most of us, a dry day with sunny spells and temperatures about 7— 10 degrees. forthe spells and temperatures about 7— 10 degrees. for the rest of the week, we lose the colder north—westerly wind and milder southwesterly winds and that brings in areas of low
7:17 am
pressure and some rain so while tuesday will start dry, the client will increase in rain moving through to northern ireland, wales and the southwest of england spreading its way north and east and temperatures still by this point about 7—10 or 11 celsius but as we go through the week, the southwesterly is bringing milder conditions. the far north of scotland will continue with colder weather with the colder air mass there and temperatures will start to pick up as we go through the week particularly around southern areas, 13 or 14 degrees.— 13 or 14 degrees. warmer, but wetter! yes- _ we already know that vaping is bad for young people's health. that's one of the reasons the government recently announced plans to ban the disposable ones. but they also pose another risk to children's safety, with predators using vapes to groom youngsters into sexual abuse and crime. hayley hassall has the story.

7:22 am
is exciting, they should be as exciting as nicotine patches but it's clear that people are trying to get youngsters to pick up vaping. i would say that key part of exploitation grooming is identifying the emotional need and that is the biggest challenge because a lot of young people have these emotional needs that they feel are not being met by their family or conventional friendship groups or their school. when people who are good at manipulating offer this, it'sjust a means to an end. it is emotional control is what they are looking for. some children are able to get that control over them. so for. some children are able to get that control over them.— that control over them. so the auestion that control over them. so the question is _ that control over them. so the question is how _ that control over them. so the question is how can _ that control over them. so the question is how can this - that control over them. so the question is how can this be - that control over them. so the - question is how can this be fixed? what is the solution to prevent it getting to the stage where they need to rely on people to provide these things and get into that dependent relationship? i things and get into that dependent relationship?— relationship? i would say it's very much about _ relationship? i would say it's very much about early _ relationship? i would say it's very much about early education - relationship? i would say it's very much about early education and i much about early education and

intervention. we need more around grooming and vulnerability in ps heatin grooming and vulnerability in ps heat in schools and the concept of grooming, it runs across many areas whether it is knife crime, county lines, sexual exploitation, domestic abuse, so many of these awful scenarios start from someone trying to engage you who has other intentions that are not good. and getting youngsters to understand there is no such thing as a free lunch and if it is too good to be true it probably is and that is a difficult message because youngsters don't want to believe that. they want to experience life and have fun and most managed to double in these things and it is not that dangerous, but we do need better awareness and parents have to be very conscience of understanding that their child may be one of those ones that could be easier to pressure in these ways — such conscious so we can support them very early when it is just a

7:25 am
if you think your child has been behaving differently or the behaviour is a worry to you, they are doing things that do not fit with your idea, you know them best, so if you are worried you need to talk to people and run what you are seeing past people more. it's possible to list things but as we are saying with a vapes today, tomorrow it can be something else. it is hard to give a definitive checklist to what to look for but it is the behaviour. if you think they are really consumed for something, if you think they are meeting people you are not aware of, that is a sort of thing you need to pick up on and then some great organisations that you can talk to online or talk to on the phone and talk it through and find out if your concerns are genuine what you can do next. thank ou so genuine what you can do next. thank you so much — genuine what you can do next. thank you so much for— genuine what you can do next. thank you so much for your _ genuine what you can do next. thank you so much for your time _ genuine what you can do next. thank you so much for your time and - you so much for your time and particularly for those pointers on what parents can and could be looking out for.

7:45 am
moment. not good news. three today, rain will ease and some sunny spells and showers for many of us. this is where the rain is at the moment, particularly heavy and persistent in eastern areas moving northward. heavy showers in the south and southwest with misty patches but the fog in north wales in north—west england and midlands and central areas of scotland, misty and murky conditions. three today, the rain will clear away from the northeast of england but hang around the northeast of scotland and showers moving their way in from the west. they continue in the south east into the afternoon and could be on the side, temperatures getting 8— 11 celsius. rain clearing in the northeast tonight, clear spells for many of us but showers will come backin many of us but showers will come back in the western areas and some of those are still a bit wintry in the higher grounds of scotland in quite a few chilly nights and a touch of frost to start monday
7:46 am
morning and these are the temperatures, but in the countryside it will be below. the reason for thatis it will be below. the reason for that is the area of low pressure, and the wind goes in that direction and the wind goes in that direction and it is picking up some of the cold conditions from scandinavia and iceland so all of us in the blue colour, the hermas is on the chilly side and continue to bring snow showers —— the air mass. dry day on monday and temperatures up around nine degrees. for the rest of the week, picking up southwesterly winds, bringing in areas of low pressure. it will not be raining all week but there will be periods of rain as we go through the week and certainly on tuesday, a dry and bright start for many eastern areas. rain spreading into northern ireland and wales, southwest england into
7:47 am
the afternoon, temperatures 7— 10 celsius which is still on the cool side but as we go through the week will pick up the milder southwesterly winds, meaning temperatures will rise again as we go through wednesday and thursday. still cold air affecting north of scotland but temperatures will be up around 15 degrees on southern areas with rain at times through the week. there is a daffodil there in the background. back with headlines at eight o'clock. now it's time for the latest technology news on this week's edition of click. if you ever wondered where your old laptops,
7:48 am
phones and tvs go to die, well, every year our planet generates over 50 million tonnes of electronic waste. the problem is things just don't last as long these days. take phones, for example. the entire industry seems geared around us replacing our handset every couple of years or so. but only about a quarter of that e—waste is properly recycled. and that's really bad because our devices contain potentially toxic chemicals. well, michael kaloki has been looking at how one company is trying to combat this in kenya. this is dandora. this community on the outskirts of nairobi is home to one of the largest dump sites, not only in kenya but east africa. although it was declared full 20 years ago, over 800 tonnes of garbage is still dumped on this sprawling 30—acre site every day.
7:49 am
and in recent years, an increasing proportion of this is e—waste. men, women and even children scour the stacks of waste for discarded electronics, breaking them apart for their motherboards, batteries, wiring, anything that can be resold for parts. it's become an important income stream in what is a desperately deprived area. i've come to this part of the dump site to meet an e—waste collector. there are thousands of people who work in the dump site and it's a dangerous environment to work in. stanley mwangi is one of them. translation: we get a lot of e-waste here, as you can see. _ we find items like motherboards. we repair some of the motherboards and others we just use as replacement parts. anything we can't use, we sell to chinese traders.
7:50 am
there are many buyers for us materials, but the e—waste is not easily found. the items are few and the buyers are many, so the price shoots up. we sell the e—waste by the kilo. traders pay 1,500 shillings, which is about $6 per kilo. he's worked on the dump since 2002 and, as a single parent, says he has no other choice. it is dangerous work, but we have to do it. if we do not, we will go hungry. one of these fingers got chopped off working here, but i had to keep working here to make ends meet. he says the injury was caused by a shard of glass. and while such injuries are common where people don't have access
7:51 am
to any protective gear, there are arguably greater dangers to working here. they are exposed to toxic chemicals such as lead, mercury and cadmium. these chemicals can leach into local water supplies and noxious fumes inhaled when any unwanted e—waste is burned. but while kenya only recycles 1% of its e—waste, this is farfrom being just a kenyan or an african problem. for example, north america only recycles about 15% of its e—waste. while the informal and partial recycling of electronic waste has been the status quo in kenya for decades, one organisation is hoping to change that. so some of the waste from landfills like the one in dandora ends up in e—waste centres such as this one. well, i'm here to find out what the process is when the waste gets here. the waste electrical and electronics equipment centre collects and recycles a variety of e—waste, ranging from computers and phones to solar panels and refrigerators.
7:52 am
at its nairobi headquarters, these are then channelled to the relevant workshop. in one, technicians test and refurbish laptops and tablets so they can be used again. and any device or appliance deemed beyond repair is sent to the dismantling room to be stripped for usable parts. and in another room, hundreds of batteries are upcycled, saving them from contaminating the soil in dumpsites like dandora. at the moment, we are able to receive 240 tonnes i of used per year, though- we have the capacity to process 200 tonnes per month, _ which means we are performing way, way, way below capacity. the e—waste that is produced i is as a result of electronic devices that have been imported to this country. - some of them are coming as good devices that are able _ to last for a long time, i others a very short life span. we also have other devices that are coming to the country- through illegal channels. they do not go through the required tests. i but of course, we also have i electronic devices coming to this country disguised as donations. you can't use them for more
7:53 am
than even two months. - but despite these hurdles and the prediction that the amount of global e—waste could double by 2050, joseph hopes that organisations such as his could start to make a positive difference. but what difference that could have on the livelihoods of people like stanley who rely on dumps like dandora to survive is now uncertain. translation: i've been able to open a repair shop - with the money i've made here, so i will keep going. i will only stop working when my body gives up. that was michael. and we're staying in kenya now to look at the issue of maternal health. yeah, yasmin morgan—griffiths has been looking at attempts to widen access to vital health care
7:54 am
in remote parts of the country. a woman dies every two minutes due to complications in pregnancy or childbirth. the majority of all maternal deaths are in sub—saharan africa. and in kenya, the problem is actually getting worse. 70% of the population lives in remote rural areas where they're cut off from life—saving infrastructure. not all mums are able to access the right kind of care, transport — getting to the hospital is always an issue. we don't have enough health care workers for the population. big problems, i would say. not all maternal health clinics
7:55 am
across kenya are as well—equipped or as well—staffed as this one in nairobi. but it's hoped the technology being trialled here could help ensure that more mothers—to—be get access to potentially life—saving treatment. this is janefer�*s first glimpse of her baby. the legs. oh, wow. ultrasound scans like these play a key role in ensuring a pregnancy goes smoothly. unfortunately, there's been some bumps in the road forjanefer. last month, i had a complication. i had a discharge. she was advised to go straight to hospital to get checked out. i was scared. yeah, i was scared. i was like, "maybe i'm losing the baby or something." - luckily, janefer and her baby are both fine, but she also had problems in her previous pregnancy. i had to go for caesarean section. and did your doctors tell you that it could have been prevented if you'd had an ultrasound earlier? yeah, they said it could
7:56 am
have been prevented. l where you live, is it difficult to get an ultrasound during your pregnancy? it's quite expensive and you have | to go for a long distance to get it. jacaranda health, the organisation that runs this clinic, has partnered with tech giant google to trial a solution that could help save lives. this ultrasound probe sends video output to a tablet or smartphone, making this system cheaper and much more portable than traditional ultrasound scanners. artificial intelligence then interprets the image without the need for a sonographer. the information that i'll get here will help me to save the life of a mother and also save the life of the foetus. i've come to google�*s offices in nairobi to find out more about how their ai models are being developed and how people who aren't sonographers can be trained to use it.
7:57 am
if this technology is intended to be so easy that you could train anybody to do it, do you think that i could have a go? i think you definitely could. first, i need to measure the size of the bump and apply my ultrasound gel. i need to do six sweeps over the abdomen, and the app gives me instructions for every step of the process. the ai models then analyse the image. they give two vital pieces of information. the gestational age — that's how many weeks old the foetus is — and the foetal position, or the direction the foetus is facing inside the uterus. we're not trying to replace sonographers. humans are very important to providing care, and wejust want to give them additional tools in their toolset. you know, obviously, we've done this on a model that is created for training purposes. are there challenges to doing this on real human beings who might vary from each other? the models were trained on thousands of patients from different backgrounds, and so the model's seen a lot of different variations.
7:58 am
but google needs to collect an even greater diversity of patient data to ensure the system can work for as many people as possible. around 100 scans have been collected in clinical settings in kenya so far. a lot more than that will be needed before the system is ready for routine use. although the research is still in its early stages, jacaranda health hopes the trial marks the beginning of better days for maternal health in kenya. 10% of mums in rural kenya have access to ultrasound services. if this is available, it will definitely be a game—changer. and that's all we've got time for on the short version of click. the full length version is waiting

for you right now on iplayer. we shall be back next week. thanks for watching. good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. our headlines today. this a vigil�*s to be held in memory of brianna ghey, a year after the teenager was stabbed to death in a warrington park. foreign secretary lord cameron says he's deeply concerned about israel's plans to launch a military offensive in the city of rafah, where more than a million palestinians are sheltering.

king charles has given his heartfelt thanks for messages of support after he was diagnosed with cancer. scotland couldn't quite get over the line against france. or did they? spot the ball in all that. a controversial late call denies them victory in the six nations. it isa it is a rather foggy and where to start to the day for many but the rain will clear, there will be sunny spells and showers into the afternoon. the full forecast shortly. good morning. it's sunday, the 11th of february. our main story. it's sunday, the 11th of february. a vigil will be held today to celebrate the life of brianna ghey, exactly a year since the 16—year—old was murdered in warrington. brianna was stabbed 28 times by two teenagers she'd arranged to meet. her mum esther will address the crowd at today's event as yunus mulla reports. brianna ghey, a ball of energy, fearless and strong.
8:01 am
that side of her shared with thousands of followers on tiktok. there was public outrage and huge shock after the 16—year—old was murdered. brianna was tra nsgender. it didn't define her, but vigils were held across the country and parts of the world. brianna was so complex. she came across as being really outgoing, and she was, she was outgoing, she was confident, she was lively, but on the other hand she was struggling with her mental health, and as a parent that's really difficult to deal with. brianna was lured from her home by somebody she trusted. that friend and another boy executed a plan and stabbed the 16—year—old 28 times at culcheth linear park. scarletjenkinson and eddie ratcliffe are serving life sentences. they watched violent videos on the dark web and plotted the murder using messaging apps. esther ghey he wants the law changed to restrict under 16 access to some apps on smartphones. at a vigil here in warrington
8:02 am
today, brianna ghey�*s and those close to her, and campaigners, want to celebrate the teenager for who she was and move the focus away from the horrific and tragic events of 12 months ago, by continuing their efforts to create a lasting legacy for brianna. this cherry blossom tree is a symbol of that campaign. mindfulness helped brianna's mother in the early stages of grief. the aim, at least one teacher in every school is specially trained in the calming technique. it's building mentalfitness. the same way that if you would go to the gym and he would build muscles by using heavier weights, it's the same kind of thing. so it's just exercise for your brain. and like i say, it can increase empathy, it can increase self compassion, and i think mental is such a big one. like so many teenagers, brianna lived her life on her phone.

8:04 am
are there. they seem quite focus. the warnings are also quite serious because you have more than a million people who have crowded into rafah in the last four months, many don't have enough food, water and medicine, and they have also already been following israeli evacuation orders, two thirds of the gaza strip under those at the moment. where were these people go? i asked that question to the un humanitarian coordinator, jamie mcgoldrick. the safe areas that were declared are no_ the safe areas that were declared are no longer safe, and if these people — are no longer safe, and if these people have to work —— move, where can they— people have to work —— move, where can they move? they will move to the beach _ can they move? they will move to the beach area, _ can they move? they will move to the beach area, which is already overcrowded. we don't have the surmlies— overcrowded. we don't have the supplies to take them, to accommodate them, to support them, because _ accommodate them, to support them, because the _ accommodate them, to support them, because the environment is not conducive — because the environment is not conducive to a humanitarian organisation of this kind. we are really— organisation of this kind. we are really fearful of the horrific nature _ really fearful of the horrific nature of where we are, could only ever get _ nature of where we are, could only ever get worse. it's unimaginable or you thought, it could get worse. israel's — you thought, it could get worse. israel's stated aim of this war is
8:05 am
to get rid of hamas. israel sang overnight they have found further tunnels in gaza. what do we know? what the israeli army is saying about these tunnels is that very go underneath the headquarters of the un agency which deals with palestinians, which is known as unrwa. the army says that hamas was using the un's electricity, and also that they found weapons in the building itself. you know, some people see this as the latest chapter in israel's campaign against unrwa, which they accuse of collaborating with hamas. it is worth noting this tunnel was 18 metres deep and did not have a shaft that corrected it —— collected a giddy building. the head of the has responded. he said on my does not know what lies beneath their premises, does not have the expertise and a capacity to inspect and find out. he said the last time this particular building was in september of the un evacuated in early october when the war started.
8:06 am
so, couldn't say sense then how the building had been used. thank you very much. barbara plett usher live rock injerusalem. the former us president donald trump has said he would encourage russia to attack any nato member that fails to pay to be part of the military alliance. members of nato commit to defend any nation in the bloc that gets attacked. but speaking during a rally in south carolina, mr trump, who is seeking re—election as president, said he'd told the leader of another country he wouldn't do so if they didn't meet their financial obligations. one of the presence of a big country stood up and said, well so, if we don't pay and we are attacked by russia, will you protect us? i said, you didn't pay, you delinquent? he said, yes, let's say that happened. no, i would said, yes, let's say that happened. no, iwould not said, yes, let's say that happened. no, i would not protect you. in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. you got to pay. you got to pay your bills. bosses at the technology company, fujitsu, were paid more
8:07 am
than a million pounds a year on average during the horizon contract, which led to the post office scandal. the company has apologised for its role and says it will make a contribution to compensation for those who were wrongly accused of theft and fraud. here's our business correspondent, ben king. fujitsu was the company that built horizon and it has admitted there were bugs in the system from the very start. finally, 555 of us now, ready to tell our stories to a court. more than 900 sub—postmasters have been convicted using evidence from that flawed system, while the bosses of fujitsu made millions. fujitsu's uk accounts don't tell us how much each individual board member made. they just tell us what the highest—paid director made in total. and at most companies that would be the chief executive. i swear by almighty god... that the evidence i shall give. ...that the evidence i shall give...
8:08 am
keith todd was boss of icl, as it was called then, when horizon was switched on in 1999. he left the following year, and icl paid 4.4 million as compensation for loss of office. in 2008, the top director, presumably chief executive david courtley, earned up to £2.3 million. four years later duncan tait took over. in 2019 highest—paid director earned £2.11 million. fujitsu apologises and is sorry for our part in this appalling miscarriage ofjustice. the current boss is paul patterson, who appeared in front of mps last month. he earned up to £408,000 last year. since 1999, top bosses have made a total of £26 million. alison hall ran a post office in west yorkshire. she was wrongly convicted of false accounting because of a errors. that was overturned three years ago. any bonuses what's being paid to any of them, and even post office limited, they should all be handed back. all of them. every single one of them.
8:09 am
they shouldn't get a penny, none of them. they don't deserve it. the former sub—postmaster kevin jones has campaigned for years, and now sits on the board overseeing compensation. there were quite clearly being paid millions of pounds forfailure. but that failure had consequences. it ended up in people's lives being ruined, but also individuals being sent to prison. and that, i think, is something which fujitsu needs to explain. paul patterson, david courtley and keith todd declined to comment. duncan tait said he was sorry for the damage done and any role fujitsu played. fujitsu has offered its deepest apologies and says it will make a contribution to compensation for the victims based on the findings of the inquiry. ben king, bbc news. the housing secretary michael gove is expected to announce a new law allowing empty high street shops to be quickly converted into homes. the relaxation of planning laws would allow commercial buildings to become dwellings without planning permission, and without the need to first stand empty. incentives to encourage developers

to build on brownfield land are also expected. the government says it's cracking down on parents who don't pay child maintenance, by allowing missing payments to be chased up afterjust six weeks, rather than six months. our political correspondent tony bonsignore joins us now. how significant are these changes? morning. this is part of a consultation that's been out for a while. the government is going to give its formal response tomorrow. but they say this will make a real difference. a fact that around 10,000 parents, they say, who currently have on paid child maintenance. so the difference, they say, will be this. so when there is that situation, the child maintenance service, instead of having to go through the courts,
8:11 am
which can be a very lengthy, difficult, costly process, can take around six months, they say that cms will be given the powers use what is known as an administrative liability order. it's more procedural. they can move much more quickly, the government says, the child maintenance service, and it should take about six weeks instead of six months. they are also plans to write off small amounts of debts. so whether are debts of less than £7, it wants to write off those debts to focus on the bigger cases. and one other change. this was announced previously but we have a date now. the government are saying that parents who need to go to the child maintenance service to apply for help in recovering unpaid child maintenance, they will no longer, from the 26th of february, have to pay the current £20 charge. the government says that is to help parents who desperately need to get
8:12 am
help, to get money for their children. tony, thank you. king charles is expected to attend church at sandringham today, fter thanking the public for the support he's received following his cancer diagnosis. in a written statement, the king also praised the organisations which support cancer patients and their families. our royal correspondent jonny dymond has more. six days after the revelation of cancer and the start of treatment, a message from the king beginning with thanks. heartfelt thanks, he wrote, for the many messages of support and good wishes that he has received in recent days. the king is normally the one demanding more public engagements, more meetings, more time to talk. but now this public work has ended and the king is, like many of his age, a cancer patient.
8:13 am
all of those, he wrote, who have been affected by cancer will know such kind thoughts are a great comfort and encouragement. by the usual standards, the palace has been pretty open about the king's l. in his message the king wrote how heightened he is that sharing his diagnosis had helped to promote public understanding. "my lifelong admiration," he wrote, "for their tireless care is greater as a result of my own personal experience." a more open palace and a more open king, as monarch and man face a threat so many have seen and understand through friends and relatives. johnny dymond, bbc news. our reporter louisa pilbeam is outside the king's estate at sandringham in norfolk.
8:14 am
people would be glad, happy to see him out and about this morning? == him out and about this morning? -- will be glad. yes, we have spoken to people on the sound estate hoping to get a glimpse of the game. he came here mid week with his wife queen camilla and since then he has been enjoying the relaxation and recuperation that this kind of place will offer him. where we are at the moment on the sandringham estate, this part is parkland and it's open to the public. we have seen people walking through, running, and people are walking their dogs. but the part of the estate where he lives, it is the royal residence here in norfolk. he is able to enjoy that privacy because it becomes a private royal home. and the charge that he will be attending, we believe, round about 11 o'clock when services begin, is just over the way. i can see the gate there. some members of the public tend to wait at that gate and try and catch a glimpse of the game.
8:15 am
because he has made his cancer diagnosis, as we have been hearing, very public. but he also has this private experience that he will be going through as a family and as a human being, of course. so here on the estate we may catch a glimpse of him and he may well have more words for us as he has been doing so in this very public statement. thank you. what are past eight. —— a quarter past eight. on yesterday's breakfast you might have seen an item about a sheep race — dubbed the "lamb national" — being cancelled. well, the organisers have done a ewe turn.. you could say it was for the chop. that is courtesy of our cameraman martin. the barton carnival, in lincolnshire, initially bowed to complaints that the animals didn't consent to the race. the committee now says that decision was rash — and it is satisfied the event should go ahead. i wonder how they give the consent
8:16 am
of that signalled the u—turn. thank you to maisie who got in touch and said it may be the u—turn came about because they all make good jumpers. get it, simon? film. because they all make good 'umpers. set at, simm— get it, simon? oh, yeah. i 'ust wasn't laughing, i get it, simon? oh, yeah. i 'ust wasn't laughing, sorry. i wasn't laughing, sorry. there might be a sheep on that from behind you! there might be a sheep on that from behind ou! , , behind you! there might be. very fou . behind you! there might be. very foggy conditions _ behind you! there might be. very foggy conditions out _ behind you! there might be. very foggy conditions out there. - behind you! there might be. very foggy conditions out there. if - behind you! there might be. very foggy conditions out there. if you | foggy conditions out there. if you are travelling on the roads, do bear that in mind. these abilities are very low in some parts of the uk this morning. there is also some rain. stillabout100 this morning. there is also some rain. still about 100 flood warnings in force across england and wales. further rain is not great news. it will eventually clear away today and they will be sunny spells and showers for many. let's look at where the rain is now. rain in eastern areas of england, pushing into eastern scotland, showers across the far south of england. and
8:17 am
also, mist and fog. especially thick and dense across parts of north wales, the midlands, north—west england coming to central areas scotland as well. pretty misty conditions beneath this rain. it will eventually clear away except in the far north—east of scotland. showers continuing into the afternoon, particularly in the south—east of england, up towards the midlands, western scotland. temperatures are higher in northern scotland compared to yesterday. a bit lower for england and wales, ten or 11 celsius. tonight that rain will clear away to the north—east and we are looking at some further showers driven away into western areas. it will be quite a cold night. in the towns and cities temperatures are staying above freezing but there could be a touch of frost first thing on monday morning, especially in the countryside. that's because we have an area of low pressure situated to the south of iceland. the air travels around that in an anticlockwise direction. that means
8:18 am
the air is coming from scandinavia, iceland, the north atlantic, pushing into the uk. that is why it is going to be a cold start. that colder weather may give some wintry showers, particularly over higher ground in scotland, perhaps northern england as well. showers elsewhere, of rain, but they will also be lots of rain, but they will also be lots of dry and sunny weather throughout monday as well, and maximum temperatures around seven to 10 celsius. we then lose that colder air. we have these milder south—westerly. that would bring in further bouts of rain as we go through this week. they will be areas of rain moving through. it will not be completely wet or weak. certainly on tuesday lots of dry weather to start the day across central, eastern and northern areas. staying largely dry. rain moving from the south—west. maximum temperatures seven to 11 degrees. they will increase as we go through the rest of the week because we have got those milder south—westerly winds. you can see that on the air mass. the far north, north—west of
8:19 am
scotland mayjust stick out in the colder air. scotland mayjust stick out in the colderair. elsewhere, scotland mayjust stick out in the colder air. elsewhere, temperatures will be on the rise. you can see in london, for example, by the end of the week, temperatures about 13, 1a celsius, similar conditions in south wales. as we go through to scotland and northern ireland, temperatures eight to 11. while there are lots of rainy symbols on here, it will not be a complete wash—out. some drier periods. some bouts of rain moving through from time to time. the fact you had to say it's not be completely wet or weak, tells me it is going to be fairly wet. positivity. half term for many this week. that's why she talks like that because it is half term. just turned 20 minute past eight. good morning. now, many of us may think we spend a little too much time on our phones. but what if the amount of time you spend online is damaging your work, relationships or even health? digital addiction is a condition not yet recognised by the nhs,
8:20 am
so some people are turning to self—help groups or private treatment. our reporter clodagh stenson has been to one of these groups in oxford. i'd spend maybe 1a hours on minecraft, and my mum had come home and like my eyes were bloodshot and she said, "what's happened to you?" when i got to university, very quickly, i found myself binging all day, all night. i couldn't get to class. i couldn't shower. if i were living in- the middle of the desert, or in the arctic, - when i get an urge, i would find a way to use. the internet was once escapism for sophia, abby and maggie, but they say their tech use ruined their lives. i was 15 when i realised my social media use was a problem, but i was nine years old when i knew i had an addiction.
8:21 am
i couldn't spend five minutes doing something else. i couldn't get out of bed. if i wanted to get out of bed, it's like i had to use my ipad to take the edge off. aged 15, sophia quit social media, but her compulsions didn't go away. i couldn't stop myself from consuming self—help, because the idea that this next bit of information, if you just scroll one more, just one more video, just one more article. during the whole lockdown period i was using for like 16 hours a day. my relationships were in shambles and i've barely any memories to speak from my teenage years. my academic suffered and i was suicidal. abby�*s compulsions were around streaming services and youtube, and she'd binge almost every day. i think it was easily 16 hours from the moment i would wake up until like three, four, 5am or later. the dishes would be piled up, literally for weeks and weeks. i was lonely, very, very lonely. and i was so ashamed, you know.
8:22 am
so i wasn't being honest with anyone about how i was really spending my time. like abby, maggie's addiction is related to video content, and she says the stress of a newjob led her to longer and longer binges. got dressed for work, and just got back into bed and i started watching youtube, and, erm, it shocked me, actually, - really shocked me, because i'd never done anything like that before, you know, just not show up. i and then the following week, four days, i didn't go in. - i didn't call in sick, i and it just got worse. in the depths of their internet binges, all three say they researched addiction online, sought help from gps and mental health services, but they struggled to find suitable support. and in an act of desperation, maggie says she turned up at a narcotics anonymous meeting. suddenly i'm in a room with people who, you know, if i just substitute the word drugs for youtube, it was exactly the same story. eventually, all three found internet and technology addicts anonymous,
8:23 am
a recovery programme modelled on the 12 steps popularised by alcoholics anonymous. formed in 2017, itaa says it's a self—supporting community of individuals, basically addicts helping addicts through one on one sponsorships, in—person meetings and online zoom meetings. itaa invited me to observe one of their online daily meetings, and it was really interesting. there was people from all over the world on the meeting, and they were sharing stories of frustration and of hope, and of binges and recovery. but it was clearjust what a lifeline these meetings are for the people on them. professorjohn mceleney has been studying digital addiction for over ten years. so it's very hard to separate sometimes the kind normal, healthy use, from what might be problematic use. and since there's not really a universally agreed criteria of how to diagnose digital addiction, it makes it even more complicated. what we say in general in psychology is something becomes
8:24 am
a problem when it's causing harm to you or to people around you. so if someone is using an internet device or digital device in any way which is causing them to miss work, or not study as much as they should be, that's the kind of situation where it might be a problem. itaa meetings both online and in person were life changing for sophia, abby and maggie, all now in recovery. ijust remember crying so much like throughout most of the meeting because they were sharing my story, you know, that i could really relate. there were people like me and i'd never heard someone sharing these similar experiences before. the in—person meetings, i'd say, is one of the most important things in my recovery. it's just different in person, you know? like, you can't ever replace that. but an increasingly digital world means they can't go entirely offline. abby now abstains from video sites and tv. maggie uses library computers for online access. and sophia's sponsor keeps her in check when she needs to use the internet.
8:25 am
thank you to sophia, abby, and maggie for sharing their stories with our reporter clodagh stenson. we're joined now by martin preston, founder of addiction clinic delamere. good morning. we were discussing the fact that we wake up in the morning, open a social media app, look at our e—mails. how do we know when these habitual things we do every day are tipping over into addiction? it is tipping over into addiction? it is the oint tipping over into addiction? it is the point at _ tipping over into addiction? it 3 the point at which one's life becomes unmanageable. so, a casual user of the internet uses the internet like a tool. they have something to do, they get it done, and then they get on with the rest of their life. if someone is struggling with intranet addiction, they linger online and lose a lot of time. ~ ., , time. -- internet. where does the addiction coming? _ time. -- internet. where does the addiction coming? you _ time. -- internet. where does the addiction coming? you can - time. -- internet. where does the addiction coming? you can see - time. -- internet. where does the addiction coming? you can see if i time. -- internet. where does the| addiction coming? you can see if it is something like smoking or may be

drugs, there is a chemical process going on that you are physically craving something. is that also true of screens, gaming, social media, the internet, that sort of thing? very similar in that using the intranet will trigger dopamine, just intranet will trigger dopamine, just in the way that drinking alcohol or taking cocaine might. so, very closely aligned with substance addiction. and not dissimilarfrom behavioural addictions like gambling orsex behavioural addictions like gambling or sex as —— or shopping. fir, behavioural addictions like gambling or sex as -- or shopping.— or sex as -- or shopping. a study by the university _ or sex as -- or shopping. a study by the university of— or sex as -- or shopping. a study by the university of cambridge - or sex as -- or shopping. a study by the university of cambridge said - the university of cambridge said almost half british teenagers say they have been addicted to social media, and like digital addiction is not a condition recognised the nhs. talk to is about how your initial treatment came about and the growth in that area? irate treatment came about and the growth in that area?— in that area? we opened delamea in cheshire four— in that area? we opened delamea in cheshire four years _ in that area? we opened delamea in cheshire four years ago. _ in that area? we opened delamea in cheshire four years ago. we -

8:28 am
have to live in the world. so, very difficult to navigate life without using the intranet.— difficult to navigate life without using the intranet. there is a real distinction _ using the intranet. there is a real distinction that _ using the intranet. there is a real distinction that some _ using the intranet. there is a real distinction that some of - using the intranet. there is a real distinction that some of those - distinction that some of those substances are regulators, aren't they? as you said, the nhs, health authorities, will recognise they are authorities, will recognise they are a problem. when it comes to things like digital addiction, not only are there not recognised, but it feels that the phone behind them actively want them to be addicted. they are shiny, they are colourful, they are made to appeal to people and they are directly targeting their users? content and platforms are sticky, aren't they? algorithms are sophisticated. and for some it's like digital sugar. websites are designed to extract time from us and keep us locked in. it’s designed to extract time from us and keep us locked in.— keep us locked in. it's so easy, isn't it? as _ keep us locked in. it's so easy, isn't it? as you _ keep us locked in. it's so easy, isn't it? as you say, _ keep us locked in. it's so easy, isn't it? as you say, you - keep us locked in. it's so easy, isn't it? as you say, you have l keep us locked in. it's so easy, | isn't it? as you say, you have to keep us locked in. it's so easy, - isn't it? as you say, you have to be online. i pay my council tax, my utility bills there. you do hmrc

8:31 am
# it's a roller coaster. # just got to ride it. # 0h-oh.# victory park, home to chorley fc. a humble ground, but today with a bit of celebrity sparkle. # love me for a reason # let the reason be love.# it's an unlikely duet that not many saw coming — this non—league club and boyzone. turn round, let's make the sun shine. well, guys, it's great to see you. how are you feeling today being here with chorley fc? good, it's exciting. we've kind of been talking about it for a while, haven't we? finally, we're here to see it all kind of come into fruition. the whole town is out here to support our team, and i've already fallen in love with the place. it's incredible. so what's happening then? what involvement are you going to have? look, we're here. we're here to see the game tonight. there's lots of conversations to be had, but the back story is really simple. so they invited me down, i fell in love with the place they asked me would i like to help out, and i called a couple of boys.
8:32 am
and the boys said, "come on, shano" — they call me shano — "come on, shane, we're in. " so, shane, you've obviously been here before. keith, is this your first time then here? yeah, i'm a chorley virgin! wearing the shirt though, eh?! and how are you finding it is so far? you know, it's like i said already, we're, you know, from a working class background in the northside of dublin. and it's all about family, it's all about community. and coming in here today, it's like being home. # love me for the reason # let the reason be love. # chorley has come alive this week. it has come alive! it's like royalty is coming to chorley! i went yesterday, i had my nails painted. the girl at the side of me, she was like, "i've had to fix my nail because boyzone are coming into town! " for boyzone to come in is out of this world. making the suggestion that they've got
8:33 am
and for the town, and the area, it's what's needed. and little did the boys know they're already attracting new fans of the club. i'll be honest, i'm not really from around here. well, i'm only down the road, to be fair, i'm from bolton. so, are you even a chorley fan? well, lam now, obviously! although there's still no confirmation the irish stars are going to invest in the club, there are hopes chorley could follow in the footsteps of wrexham, who've reached the football league under hollywood owners ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney. you know, what they've done at wrexham is formidable. from someone who's been involved in the club for over 20 years, you know, the excitement of potentially something like that happening is, is great. i want in 30 or 40 years' time chorley fc to be up here and for me to say to my grandkids and my kids, i was a part of that. despite a 3—0 loss on saturday, optimism is in the air for the magpies, so here's hoping the lads will love chorley for a season no matter what. molly brewer, bbc news.

to as little as six weeks. and later this month, a £20 application fee for parents seeking help from the child maintenance service will be scrapped. we're nowjoined by victoria benson from the single parent charity gingerbread. we welcome the changes but they are 'ust we welcome the changes but they are just scraping the surface on the issue _ just scraping the surface on the issue that — just scraping the surface on the issue that many parents face when they deal— issue that many parents face when they deal with the child maintenance service _ they deal with the child maintenance service. just they deal with the child maintenance service. , , , . . they deal with the child maintenance service, , , . . service. just explain that, if ou're service. just explain that, if you're a _ service. just explain that, if you're a parent _ service. just explain that, if you're a parent trying - service. just explain that, if you're a parent trying to - service. just explain that, if| you're a parent trying to use service. just explain that, if- you're a parent trying to use the service, why is so difficult? mange service, why is so difficult? many nonresident _ service, why is so difficult? many nonresident parents _ service, why is so difficult? many nonresident parents refused - service, why is so difficult? many nonresident parents refused to pay any maintenance so it is over one third _ any maintenance so it is over one third of— any maintenance so it is over one third of nonresident parents pay no maintenance in the last quarter and there _ maintenance in the last quarter and there is— maintenance in the last quarter and there is over half £1 billion currently owed. resident parents reatiy _ currently owed. resident parents really rely on that money to support

8:40 am
plenty of talking points from both matches yesterday — because at twickenham england came from behind to beat a spirited wales side by 16 points to 14 — to go top of the six nations table with two wins from two. a memorable day forjamie george, in his first home game as captain. rounding up an eventful day — joe wilson reports. an innovation from england's new captain. a long march to the ground through the twickenham public. you are with us and we are with you. right. but this is wales. they scored two tries in the first half. young players maturing by the minute. alex mann is just 22. the half time lead was nine. england have their new recruits. this was the first game at twickenham for fraser dingwall. in at the corner. england were one point behind. fraser dingwall. welsh discipline, so strong early on now allowed england penalties. this one was decisive. england only led in
8:41 am
the last ten minutes. they won the game 16—14. it's a young side. we know we've got lots to learn. we will grow together. but ultimately it's the team that stays in the fight and i am very proud of that. in your home matches in the six nations, it's so important to bring the crowd with you and england did eventually manage that here. in edinburgh, scotland were hoping for something similar. prematch optimism, first—half finishing. could ben white hold the ball and slide to the line? yes and yes. try given. france were still behind with ten to play until louis bielle—biarrey. louis bielle—biarrey chasing down his own kick. now france led. now frantic stuff. seconds left. inches left. scotland needed a try to win. what can you see there? no try said the onfield ref. replays and replays, is there a white flash of ball touching the turf? inconclusive.
8:42 am
no try was the final decision which did not stop defeated scotland seeing it differently. joe wilson, bbc news. scotland with missed opportunities earlier in that game were left to rue that decision from the officials at the end. understandable frustration for their head coach gregor townsend afterwards: it was emotionalfor it was emotional for everybody that was in the stadium. we were celebrating in the box because we could hear the tmo saying the ball was on the ground and we could see the ball on the ground so obviously huge disappointment that i was not awarded at the end. ireland will hope to move top of the table again later and make it two wins from two when they face italy. it's their first game back in dublin since before the world cup. last week in rome the italians pushed england hard — and coach andy farrell knows his side will need to be at their best: i think everyone who watched the game last week knows they will be a threat and our fans will get behind
8:43 am
their side. threat and our fans will get behind theirside. first threat and our fans will get behind their side. first time since the world cup, and it is something the players have talked about and are excited about this week. liverpool remain the team to catch at the top of the premier league — after beating burnley at anfield. defeat to arsenal last week meant this one felt like a must win match — it was nervy at times but darwin nunez�* goal here, ten minutes from time wrapped up a 3—1win. manchester city remain just two points behind liverpool, with a game in hand, after they beat everton 2—0. city were frustrated for large periods before erling haaland scored twice late on to make it ten wins in a row in all competitions. it also brought an end to a mini drought for haaland — those were his first goals since he returned from a two—month injury absence. there was late drama at the tottenham hotspur stadium as spurs came from behind to beat brightonln the sixth minute of stoppage time, son heung min, back from the asian cup, set up brennanjohnson for the winner. 2—1 it finished. victory moving tottenham into fourth. two goals from bruno guimares helped newcastle to victory
8:44 am
at nottingham forest. he opened the scoring but twice newcastle were pegged back. ultimately it was this goal — what a strike — that ensured his side left with all three points. 3—2 it finished, newcastle up to seventh, forest remain two points above the relegation zone. the remaining two scottish cup fifth round ties take place later including defending champions celtic who are at st mirren. rangers will be waiting in the quarter—final draw, they saw off the challenge of championship side ayr united, fabio silva's emphatic finish sealing a 2—0 win at ibrox. there were also wins foraberdeen, hibernian, kilmarnock and livingston. there was a crushing defeat for harry kane's bayern munich in the bundesliga title race. they are now five points behind bayer leverkusen after a 3—nil defeat to the league leaders, jeremie frimpong's goal in stoppage time putting the cherry on top of a stunning performance by xabi alonso's side — who remain unbeaten after 31 games. it was a better day for kane's england team—matejude bellingham,
8:45 am
who scored twice to help real madrid go five points clear at the top of la liga. with a 4—0 win over fellow title challengers girona at home. bellingham's two goals takes him to twenty in all competitions for the season, although he was taken off with an apparent ankle injury shortly after the second. ronnie o'sullivan has withdrawn from next week's welsh open to protect his mental health. o'sullivan has been in scintilating form this season winning both the uk championship and the masters. but says he'll be unable to compete in wales because of "stage fright". the world number one withdrew from the german masters in berlin last week to prioritise his "health and wellbeing". one of the biggest events in the sporting calendar is nearly upon us. tonight the kansas city chiefs face the san francisco 49ers in super bowl 58. it's taking place under the lights of las vegas for the first time.
8:46 am
pop star taylor swift has supercharged interest in american football's biggest game with herfans hoping she'll make it from japan, where she's been performing, in time to cheer on her boyfriend travis kelce. from the us, nesta mcgregor reports. las vegas, known for putting on a show. welcome to vegas. in a rematch from four years ago, will it be victory again for the kansas city chiefs or revenge for the san francisco 49ers. a city gripped by football fever. go, chiefs. symptoms include arguments, even between lifelong friends. bang bang, 49er gang. get that out of your soul because they are going to eat you up. you have got to let super bowl goal, because we have more where that came from. all i will say is people like him are always blowing the pass. i will let him keep talking the talk and we will let
8:47 am
the game do what it do. after a week of build—up, to make the focus will switch from the strip to a venue which is hosting nevada's after a week of build—up, tonight the focus will switch from the strip to a venue which is hosting nevada's first—ever super bowl. this is the stadium in all its glory. this is what £2 billion gets you. known as the greatest arena on earth, 65,000 fans. it is covered which means we are protected from the elements and it is a fitting venue for the biggest day in the us sporting calendar. there are still tickets left if you have a few thousand pounds to spare. if you have not, there are other things to do. for the estimated 300,000 extra visitors this weekend. this is a super bowl experience where fans can replicate their heroes. and some games, just comes down to the final kick. have i still got it? never in doubt. although later tonight it is more likely a quarterback�*s arm will prove the designer. in brock purdy, the 49ers have a player who continues to silence his doubters while the chiefs's patrick mahomes is one of the best to ever do it, thanks in part to mum. he has never not thrown something for me to catch.
8:48 am
whether easter egg or a pair of socks. you were his first coach, so you get all the credit. absolutely. and i used to through the bowl as far away from him as he could so it would give me more time to read my book. on the subject of time, someone without much of it is usher. the r&b singer is performing a half time show, a 30 year career squeezed into less than 15 minutes. at this celebrity event, who mightjoin him on stage is what everyone is talking about. if he was to bring out beyonce and get a little on stage dancing, that would be cute. but i don't think he needs to bring anybody out, like, that is his moment. i want to know he can do it. he is from the 1900s like me, i know he can kill it. i am expecting a lot— of camaraderie and friendship out there so it should be good. it's usher, he can do whatever he wants. i he has hits, we've
8:49 am
got such a surprise, from atlnta i already know who it is. tt, tt, tt. another question which remains unanswered is whether taylor swift will be at the game to support the chiefs and her boyfriend travis kelce. word at the party is she will be there. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, las vegas. will she be there? breaking news, she is in the us. us networks have been rolling that taylor swift will been rolling that taylor swift will be at super bowl lviii. she was performing in tokyo but she has made it so herfans performing in tokyo but she has made it so her fans will be happy. performing in tokyo but she has made it so herfans will be happy. i performing in tokyo but she has made it so her fans will be happy. i was messaged by someone who said they are not introduced —— interested in super bowl, just remember portsmouth are playing. i grew up in portsmouth but a lot of people do care about the taylor smith —— mike taylor swift super bowl. she is not
8:50 am
performing. no, but the relationship she has with travis kelce has got everyone excited. we should think about the quarterbacks themselves. patrick mahomes, the story is he's trying to make history. we have brock purdy there on the left, the two standout players and a lot of people are annoyed that they have been pushed aside by taylor swift and travis kelce. she would perform with usher? i don't think it will happen. they might get her to perform next year if she is still with travis kelce. even if she is not with him, even more drama. thank you, get those matchsticks out for tonight, good luck. if you're lucky enough to have a friend you can rely on, you'll knowjust how important that can be when things get
8:51 am
tough. can be when things get for two young penguins in hampshire — one partially sighted and the other so ill it nearly died at birth — their unique bond has meant they haven't just survived. they've thrived. sean sellick has been to meet them. these two juveniles had difficulties from birth and have looked out for each other for the past three years. this one named squid had developed cataracts at a few weeks old and cannot see her way around so well. this male penguin was so ill at birth he was not expected to survive so was not given a name and simply became known as penguin. he eventually became well enough to join the colony but find it difficult to fit in. however squid and penguin became friends and have helped each other ever since. thea;r helped each other ever since. they have developed _ helped each other ever since. they have developed this _ helped each other ever since. they have developed this relationship from _ have developed this relationship from quite a young age when they

8:54 am

8:55 am
scandinavia, iceland and into the north atlantic so all of us in that colder air as well start off a new working week. showers again, wintry over high ground in scotland. elsewhere a few showers living in but plenty of dry and sunny weather in the afternoon. back to 10 celsius. thank you, simon. if you're one of the millions of people who still love a vinyl record, you'll know that part of the appeal is the artwork. but of course they can't all be masterpieces like the beatles�* sergeant pepper, or pink floyd's dark side of the moon. some album covers are truly terrible. now a gallery in alnwick, northumberland, has put on a display of some of the worst offenders. adam powell went for a look. music: top of the pops.
8:56 am
when it comes to art work, these album covers are most definitely flops. it's basically about humour, a smile. many of them do make you smile and if not, actually laugh out loud. they are rather weird, a man's head on a piece of pineapple. it looks like the pineapple has got some tomato sauce on it, a bit of lettuce. the bizarre. a set of dentures and a goldfish in a glass. i had this album. i used to work in a record shop. booker t washington. brilliant rural blues guitarist, so somebody thought it would be a good idea to have a glass with toothpaste, a set of dentures and a goldfish. and an old toothbrush. quite why, i don't know. some arejust odd. a man playing his classical guitar in boxer shorts. he is wearing a dinnerjacket, he has a classical guitar on his knee but he is not wearing any trousers. the exhibition includes oddities like muhammad ali encouraging kids to brush their teeth. ali and his gang
