if it isa if it is a recession, news at seven. if it is a recession, it is likely to be a short one. we will explain why it matters. a major surge in anti—semitic attacks in the uk since the start of the israel—gaza war, with incidents targeting jewish people at an all—time high. one person is killed and 21 others — including 11 children — are injured, after a shooting at the super bowl victory parade in kansas. a century of test caps now, for ben stokes, as england resume their series against india, while in the tightest of title races, rangers, go level on points with celtic at the top of the scottish premiership. good morning. today is going to be a very mild daily temperatures in some parts of the used reaching 17, 18. for all of us, fairly cloudy with outbreaks of rain. all of the details later on the programme. it's thursday the 15th of february.

our main story. figures released this morning will show how the uk economy has performed and whether it dipped into recession at the end of last year. the office for national statistics will publish its economic health check for the final three months of 2023 in the next hour. nick eardley is in shrewsbury this morning. it looks bright and lively but not necessarily a reflection of the economy. there are a lot of experts who think we will be talking about the uk having been in recession at the uk having been in recession at the end of 2023. we are entries we market to get some reaction and speak to traders, about how the economy feels to them. —— in shrewsbury market. it has been a tricky time with rising prices and interest rates and rent going up as well. what it will tell us at seven

is about the health of the economy. if the uk did fall into recession it is bad news, it is a bad sense things are not going particularly well for the economy. bad economic news, bad news for the prime minister as well. when he came up with his five pledges he wanted to deliver, one was growing the economy. the treasury will be watching this closely this morning to see what impact it has. another potential knock—on impact is if the economy is getting smaller, the government has less money to spend on things like services. there is talk in the ft this morning that the chancellor might be. you, or is he would put it,. to bring in more cuts to public services to bringing tax cuts. there is a lot at play in

these figures this morning. it will give us an idea of where the economy is that, whether it got smaller at the end of last year. one warning, if it is a recession, i do not think it will be long and particularly deep. it is likely to be short and the economy is likely to have shrunk by much. that is likely to be a silver lining. we will get those figures at seven o'clock. we will be in the beautiful shrewsbury market this morning to find out what it means for everybody and find out what it means for the state of the economy. more now on the figures which have come out today looking at attacks on jewish people. a charity, which monitors antisemitism across the uk, says there's been an increase in assaults and abuse targeting jewish people. the community security trust says there were more than 4,000 incidents of antisemitism across the uk in 2023, some involving jewish school children. here's our education correspondent,

elaine dunkley. there are guards and high—rise fences. security is tight. this is a jewish school in manchester. inside the king david high school, pupils tell me they feel safe. outside the school, they're experiencing increasing levels of anti—semitism. a few weeks ago, i was threatened and i reported it. and the police have dealt with that. personally, when i've been walking down the street, i've had stuff shouted to me from cars and it's had quite an impact. i get public transport to school and ijust feel a lot more wary actually coming to school. there's definitely been, like, an increased police presence around school. thisjewish girls school in london was targeted and vandalised in the aftermath of hamas's attacks on israel in october last year. today's figures, published

by the community security trust are compiled from people calling their helpline to report anti—semitic attacks they have experienced or witnessed and are also taken from police data. the report indicates anti—semitic incidents affecting school children have more than trebled compared to 2022. it says 87 incidents took place atjewish schools and 127 were recorded at mainstream schools. and there were 111 incidents affecting children travelling to or from school. what about food 7 rabbi benjy reichman has been working with different faith schools across manchester for more than a decade and says education is the key to tackling anti—semitism. when you can humanise the other, then you realize how much similarity exists between groups and over the years, before our student population became more diverse, we took ourjewish kids to muslim schools. we did quite a lot of activities with schools in south manchester.

some of the most beautiful moments is when you have those — there's real nuggets of education. when a young person goes, "0h, we're not so different after all." the government says it's ringfenced £7 million to help schools in england tackle anti—semitism. these school children are hundreds of miles away from the conflict in the middle east, but say their lives here in manchester have changed significantly. i think it's quite important to represent my identity, but it's the thing that makes me afraid. elaine dunkley, bbc news. one person has died and 21 people were wounded — including children — in a mass shooting at the superbowl victory parade in kansas city. president biden has made a new appeal for action on gun control. 0ur reporter will vernon has the details. gunshots ring out in central kansas city — the streets packed with families and sports fans. police rushed to the scene, as the injured are given first aid.

sky, skies, skies. this reporter for local tv about to go live as the chaos unfolds. eyewitnesses described scenes of panic. all of a sudden, people started crushing forward. everybody started running. there was screaming. we didn't know what was happening. but this day and age, when people run, you run. people had gathered for this — a victory parade to celebrate the local american football team's win in the super bowl — america's biggest sporting event. over 800 police had been deployed to protect the crowds. the mayor of kansas city said that shootings like this were becoming all too common in america. i think that's something that all of us who are parents, who are just regular people living each day have to decide what we wish to do about it. parades, rallies, schools, movies.

it seems like almost nothing is safe. the kansas city chiefs' star player posted on social media that he was heartbroken over the tragedy. travis kelce said, "kansas city means the world to me." another wrote simply, "praying for kansas city." in a statement last night, president biden said, "joy had been turned to tragedy," and he called on americans to find the resolve to end what he called the senseless epidemic of gun violence. will vernon, bbc news, washington. voters go to the polls in two by—elections today, in seats which were won by the conservatives in 2019. a vote in kingswood in gloucestershire was triggered by chris skidmore�*s resignation as an mp, while the wellingborough by—election in northamptonshire comes after peter bone lost his seat after a recall petition. polls open at 7am and close at 10pm tonight. the number of international students applying for uk university

undergraduate courses has risen for the second year in a row. the university admissions service, ucas, says almost 116,000 foreign students want places from september — an increase of 0.7% on last year. a memorial stone honouring the antarctic explorer, sir ernest shackleton, is to be dedicated at westminster abbey today. he is best known for saving the lives of his crew aftertheirship, endurance, became stuck in ice before sinking in 1915. the shipwreck was discovered in 2022. ukraine says it's destroyed another russian warship off the coast of occupied crimea. powerful explosions were heard around the black sea when the cesar kunikov — a large landing ship — was hit by drones and started to sink. the kremlin has so far refused to comment on the attack. at least seven people have been killed in israeli air strikes in lebanon.

growing international pressure on the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who has nevertheless vowed to press ahead with what he has described in the last 2a hours is a powerful ground offensive on the city. israel believes hamas fighters responsible for those attacks on october the 7th i still hold out in the southern city right at the bottom of the gaza strip. more than a million civilians are also sheltering in the city, having been displaced several times over. they are living in makeshift tented accommodation with limited access to food, water and supplies. canada, australia and new zealand have urged benjamin netanyahu to have a care, saying a ground offensive would be devastating. israel has promised to allow civilians to leave the city, what is effectively a battle zone. they have been warned there is

her relationship, for example, with spotify. but, of course, the big question on many people's minds since the king's cancer diagnosis is whether that and his treatment might help harry heal the rift with his family. of course, there's been tensions ever since he and meghan stepped back as royals and moved to california in the us. and we know that harry made a last—minute journey back to see his father last week, but we understand he only spent some 45 minutes with him — didn't see his brother william either. but he is now back out here, fulfilling his engagements, and supporting athletes at the invictus games, something we know means a lot to him. the us has successfully launched its first moon—landing rocket for more than 50 years. ignition and left of. go lunar

the front page of the telegraph quotes campaigner and actress sophie winkleman, who says schoolchildren should be given brick phones instead of smartphones to protect them from the "junk" of social media. the daughter—in—law of prince and princess michael of kent called on the government to get behind a campaign to ban smartphones for under—16s. take a look at this. queen camilla, and not one, but 12 dames. last night, the queen attended an event celebrating the works of shakespeare and was joined by a host of actors, including damejudi dench, dame twiggy lawson and dame vanessa redgrave. the host — gyles brandreth — gave her two matching jumpers with a heart on them as a valentine's day gift, and said he hoped they would keep the king and queen "warm on those cold winter nights." iam going to take you somewhere. i'm

going to take you somewhere. i'm going to take you somewhere. i'm going to take you to hendersonville in north carolina and an aquarium, a tank. in the tank is charlotte. charlotte is a stingray. charlotte has led a fairly uneventful life, according to scientists that look after her. she is rust coloured but is now the centre of a once—in—a—lifetime mystery. interest peaked? 0k. she hasn't come into any contact with males of her species for eight years. in captivity. always in captivity. she is in captivity, in a tank. charlotte is pregnant and is expected to give birth to pubs in a fortnight, hence the mystery. she has had no contact with males yet she is pregnant. a couple of theories. she could have produced asexually. this has been

seenin produced asexually. this has been seen in other sharks, skates and rays before but there is also an alternative theory. the staff have been observing charlotte and over recent times they have noticed bite marks on her. there was a young shark in the tank. they thought the other fish were shark in the tank. they thought the otherfish were nipping shark in the tank. they thought the other fish were nipping at her and these were the bite marks. then they clicked and built at this young male shark, when they make to grab a bite. there is a theory there could be a cross species created. the only way they are going to find out... is when she gives birth. marine biologist at the university of bristol said a stingray shark relationship would be the equivalent of a human mating with a camel. if you put it out there, it is very unlikely. they are anticipating the birth of these pups and they will

take a look. seahorses are both sexes, aren't they? don't the males carry the eggs? they carry the eggs and give birth to the eggs. is worms and give birth to the eggs. is worms and other one? did i make that up? we did have a conversation this morning, i think alligators might be able to asexually produce. the amount sheep farmers are paid for wool fleeces has been in steady decline since the 1950s — with most now recieving less than 26 pence per kilogram from british wool. farmers in lincolnshire have resorted to burning their fleeces in protest — and say the "measly" payments simply aren't worth their time and transport costs. 0ur reporter lindsey smith explains. this is british wool — burning onjade betts' lincolnshire farm. a protest at the price she and other farmers are paid for the fleeces

from their sheep. sadly, this is where we burn our wool from our beloved sheep and that's the sad situation that we're in. we burn the wool because it is not viable for us to try and send it to the wool board, which is quite a distance from us. the rigmarole that you have to go through to get it to them and then, for the small, measly cheque that you would get from them afterwards, it's not worth it. with 260 sheep, this would be classed as a small farm. it would cost around £3 per sheep to be sheared, around 30p per fleece to transport it to market, and jade said after that they could expect to cheque for about £30 —— expect a cheque for about £30 for their wool. at rand farm park, lambs are the main attraction. all last year's wool is piled up. it costs us around £3 per head to shear a sheep. we get roughly for each fleece £1.50, and we worked out transportation per fleece

would cost about 30p each. financially, we're losing but we shear our sheep as an event for our visitors, so we get that side from it as well. thousands of uk farmers still send their fleeces to british wool depots, but others across the country, like jade, are burning or burying it. karen hames couldn't bear such waste. here it is. yes, yes, yes. all in its glory. she's had tweed woven from her flock and believes persuading fashion designers to visit farms could be the answer. could rival scottish tweed, you know, who knows? fashion designers need to come and look at what farmers — what fleece they've got, what they can do with it. and that for me would be... that would be the icing on the cake. british wool says there will always be a gulf between the pennies farmers

are paid and retail prices. take the raw fleece from the sheep. to get it into an end product has to go through a number of different stages and all of those stages cost money. it ends up in the retail market and the retailer needs to make the money they need to make. it's not like synthetics — synthetics are very, very straightforward to make, and that's why they're so cheap. despite expected price rises, some tell us they simply won't give their products for others to profit. so expect more fleece fires soon. lindsey smith, bbc news. let's talk about a big event at the weekend. we witnessed the biggest nfl super bowl in history, as the kansas city chiefs beat the san francisco 49ers. but the worldwide viewing figures were thanks largely to the players but also to the presence of one woman, who was there cheering on her boyfriend. we are of course talking about taylor swift.

she's worth a staggering $1.1 billion — that's around £900 million. as herfame continues to rise, we've been trawling through the breakfast archives, and 15 years ago, at the age of 19, she was on the sofa chatting tojon sopel and louise minchin. all the dates we put up were sold out in minutes. i am so excited. i cannot wait to go out there and headline for the first time. it is a goal of mine to tour the world and do a tour here. but of course did happen.

her latest concert tour became a sensation, crashing ticketing sites, selling more than 11.3 million tickets. that brought in more than £800 million, and the tour is expected to generate a record £1.7 billion across its first 60 shows. that is a new record, according to pollstar, which tracks music sales. but back when she was on breakfast, the one thing she was most interested in was the british accent. i especially love it because they all pronounce my name tay—lor here. oh, yes. 0k. instead of... oh, i'm used to hearing it, tayla. that's how i'm used to hearing. i really you know, when they're outside the radio stations chanting, they're like taylor. and it's so pretty. after 8:30 this morning, we'll be talking to a couple of experts on the taylor swift effect, and discussing her rise since that interview here on breakfast 15 years ago. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. a very good morning — welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill a charity says there's been a signficant rise in the number of attacks on jewish people since the hamas assault on israel on the 7th of october. the community security trust says there were more than 4,000 anti—semitic incidents across the country last year — and that more than 70 per cent of them were in london. the data also revealed there was a sharp increase a group of londoners with long covid have helped put together a series of videos to help others cope with the condition it's part of the south east london long covid programme — run by guys and st thomas's hospital — which has seen more than 3000 people. the videos have been created based on the experience's of patients

my my first reaction when i saw the final bit together was why wasn't this available when i first started? the british museum says it's hopeful many items that were stolen from the institution and then sold to dealers around the world will be recovered. a member of staff was sacked after it was revealed that around 2,000 artefacts were taken over a number of years — but already some have been returned. now, an exhibition of those items including some gem stones is set to open later today. let's take a look at the tubes now there's minor delays on the central, district, hammersmith and city and severe delays on the piccidilly line. there's no service on the 0vergound between between barking and barking riverside. sticking with the london 0verground and its various lines are to be given names — to make the network easier to navigate. each of the six routes currently coloured orange on the tube map will be given different names to bring them in line with the rest of the underground. bosses say it will help ensure the network reflects london's rich

and diverse history. and you can see a list of the new names — on our website — just go to bbc.co.uk/london. now onto the weather with. katerina good morning. i'll start to the day and temperatures in double figures this morning and we will see decent sunny spells developers the day progresses. here is the picture this morning with a dry start of the day in the cloud breaking up nicely to for sunny spells and we stay dry for most of the day, just towards the end of the afternoon it will cloud over widely and that's when you'll start to get showers pushing in. highs today of around 15 or 16 celsius with a moderate southerly breeze. this evening the showers will shift and it will be dry for a time of clear spells but further outbreaks of rain will pushing through the course of the night and some heavy bursts in the rain too but most of the rain will clear by the end of the night. looking at lows of around nine to 10 celsius on friday morning. cloudy first thing that it will brighten up some sunny spells around for many of us it will be dry with a chance of one or two

isolated showers and it stays mild through the weekend and slightly cooler through next week. that's it from me — much on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now lets cross back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the latest gdp figures will be released in around half an hour, outlining the state of the uk economy. nick is at a market in shrewsbury for us and can run through what's expected. the thing about markets, market traders, they know the price of staff on how much it cost to buy them in and how much to sell and today we get the bigger picture that extrapolates everything that goes on in places like that. you

of the largest sea bird colonies in the world including gulls and gannets. a new study, by the rspb, has found that bird flu has had a devastating impact on the number of migrating species arriving in the uk. our reporter brendon williams has more. black headed gulls were red listed before bird flu 20 to anyone numbers have declined by 77% in recent years. and in its first—ever report, trying to quantify the effects of bird flu, rspb says, and some which turns have also seen a catastrophic drop of 40%. we turns have also seen a catastrophic drop of 4096-— drop of 40%. we are really concerned. _ drop of 40%. we are really concerned. we _ drop of 40%. we are really concerned. we don't - drop of 40%. we are really concerned. we don't know| drop of 40%. we are really - concerned. we don't know what the future holds. the seabirds are long—lived and only have one or two chicks per year and it could be another decade before we truly know what the impact of this is, even if

it were to stop today, so we are generally concerned that it poses a real threat for some species of extinction and the black headed gull in whale, this is the real tipping point and bird flu is what could tip them over the edge and that's why it's really important and why we are calling on the welsh government to draw up a well funded, well monitored seabird conservation strategy to tackle the other things and the other pressures facing the seabirds. ~ ., , ., . seabirds. when outbreaks occur in farmed birds. _ seabirds. when outbreaks occur in farmed birds, it _ seabirds. when outbreaks occur in farmed birds, it is _ seabirds. when outbreaks occur in farmed birds, it is possible - seabirds. when outbreaks occur in farmed birds, it is possible to - seabirds. when outbreaks occur in farmed birds, it is possible to try i farmed birds, it is possible to try and contain avian flu. in migrating whale species, it's practically impossible. but the rspb wants a strategy that protects them from other threats such as offshore energy and non—native species and fishing. the welsh government says there is currently no reported cases of bird flu among wild species but bearin of bird flu among wild species but bear in mind most of them aren't actually here yet and they will be making their way here in the coming

months and by mid april here will hopefully be buzzing with a variety of different species and there will be wardens and people monitoring their numbers in the hope that bird flu does not return. trying to boost resilience to avian flu will be the aim of the seabird conservation strategy which the welsh government says it's committed to this year. and birds like these will soon make the journey back to wales and the question is, how many, and will bird flu travel with them. the us has successfully launched its first moon—landing rocket for more than 50 years. that was in the last half hour.

which will touchdown on the moon in a week s time. take—off was due to happen yesterday, but was delayed due to technical problems. the mission aims to provide insights into precision landings, space weather and the lunar surface. we're now joined byjohn pernet—fisher, research fellow at the university of manchester. we will get to the science in a moment. what about the emotions? a rocket launching from earth, destination the moon. it’s rocket launching from earth, destination the moon. it's always a nerve-racking _ destination the moon. it's always a nerve-racking time _ destination the moon. it's always a nerve-racking time and _ destination the moon. it's always a nerve-racking time and you - destination the moon. it's always a nerve-racking time and you don't l nerve—racking time and you don't know— nerve—racking time and you don't know what— nerve—racking time and you don't know what can go wrong so there is that little _ know what can go wrong so there is that little twinge where you hope it's all— that little twinge where you hope it's all going to go well, and it has, _ it's all going to go well, and it has, so — it's all going to go well, and it has, so great.— it's all going to go well, and it has, so great. it's all going to go well, and it has, so areat. ., ., ., . ~ , has, so great. you want to talk us throu~h has, so great. you want to talk us through the _ has, so great. you want to talk us through the early _ has, so great. you want to talk us through the early stages - has, so great. you want to talk us through the early stages of- has, so great. you want to talk us through the early stages of the i has, so great. you want to talk us| through the early stages of the lift off? we want some pictures to show now. we have the take—off, or successful and then it splits. yes the main bulk— successful and then it splits. yes the main bulk of _ successful and then it splits. yes the main bulk of the rocket we see is full— the main bulk of the rocket we see is full of— the main bulk of the rocket we see is full of fuel and enough propulsion to get you out of earth four atmosphere and then it splits in a module that heads to the moon

a group of londoners with long covid have helped put together a series of videos to help others cope with the condition. it's part of the south east london long covid programme, run by guys and st thomas's hospital. the videos have been created based on the patient experiences. these videos are fantastic. we're all really proud of what we've managed to create. my first reaction when i saw the final bit together was why wasn't this available when i first started? the british museum says it's hopeful many items that were stolen from the institution and then sold to dealers around the world will be recovered. a member of staff was sacked after it was revealed that around 2,000 artefacts were taken over a number of years — but already some have been returned. now, an exhibition of those items including some gem stones is set to open later today. let's take a look at the tubes now.

there's minor delays on the central, district, hammersmith and city lines. the piccidilly line and 0vergound are both part suspended. sticking with the london 0verground and its various lines are to be given names — to make the network easier to navigate. each of the 6 routes currently coloured orange on the tube map will be given names that reflect londons rich diversity — and bring them in line with the rest of the underground. and you can see a list of the new names — on our website — just go to bbc.co.uk/london. now onto the weather with katerina good morning. a mild start to the day and temperatures in double figures this morning and we will see decent sunny spells develop as the day progresses. here is the picture this morning with a dry start of the day and the cloud breaking up nicely for sunny

spells and we stay dry for most of the day, just towards the end of the afternoon it will cloud over widely and that's when you'll start to get showers pushing in. highs today of around 15 or 16 celsius with a moderate southerly breeze. this evening the showers will shift and it will be dry for a time of clear spells but further outbreaks of rain will push in through the course of the night and some heavy bursts in the rain too but most of the rain will clear by the end of the night. looking at lows of around nine to 10 celsius on friday morning. cloudy first thing but it will brighten up. some sunny spells around for many of us. it will be dry with a chance of one or two isolated showers and it stays mild through the weekend and slightly cooler through next week. that's it from me — much on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with

naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... the uk at risk of recession — figures out show the economy has shrunk. a major surge in anti—semitic attacks in the uk, since the start of the israel—gaza war — with incidents targeting jewish people at an all time high. one person is killed and 21 others — including 11 children — are injured, after a shooting at the super bowl victory parade in kansas rugby league is back. we will be looking ahead to what promises to be the most open super league season in years, which kicks off tonight with the hull derby. today will be mild for the time of

tricky place. the uk is officially in recession. in the last six months of the year, the economy shrank. between july and of the year, the economy shrank. betweenjuly and september it went between july and september it went down betweenjuly and september it went down a small bit. 0.1% was the percentage the economy shrank. the statistics from the last few seconds are worse than most people were expecting. the economy shrank another 0.3% in the last three months of the year, that includes the busy christmas trading period. it creates a difficult picture for where the uk is, both in terms of the economy as a whole, impacting on public spending, what the government can or cannot do. a big political impact we can talk about later. rishi sunak promised to deliver economic growth. things are going the other way. i want to bring in an expert on some of the other stuff. chris from the centre for economic

what it means in terms of how bolts and budgets. —— households and budgets. you have figures relating to the rising number of attacks on jewish relating to the rising number of attacks onjewish people in the uk. a charity, which monitors antisemitism across the uk, says there's been an increase in assaults and abuse targeting jewish people. the community security trust says there were more than 4,000 incidents of antisemitism across the uk in 2023, some involving jewish school children. here's our education correspondent, elaine dunkley. there are guards and high—rise fences. security is tight. this is a jewish school in manchester. inside the king david high school, pupils tell me they feel safe. outside the school, they're experiencing increasing levels of anti—semitism. a few weeks ago, i was threatened and i reported it. and the police have dealt with that. personally, when i've been walking down the street, i've had stuff shouted to me from cars and it's

had quite an impact. i get public transport to school and ijust feel a lot more wary actually coming to school. there's definitely been, like, an increased police presence around school. thisjewish girls school in london was targeted and vandalised in the aftermath of hamas's attacks on israel in october last year. today's figures, published by the community security trust are compiled from people calling their helpline to report anti—semitic attacks they have experienced or witnessed and are also taken from police data. the report indicates anti—semitic incidents affecting school children have more than trebled compared to 2022. it says 87 incidents took place atjewish schools and 127 were recorded at mainstream schools. and there were 111 incidents affecting children travelling to or from school. what about food ? rabbi benjy reichman has been working with different faith schools across manchester for more than a decade and says

education is the key to tackling anti—semitism. when you can humanise the other, then you realise how much similarity exists between groups and over the years, before our student population became more diverse, we took ourjewish kids to muslim schools. we did quite a lot of activities with schools in south manchester. some of the most beautiful moments is when you have those — there's real nuggets of education. when a young person goes, "oh, we're not so different after all." the government says it's ringfenced £7 million to help schools in england tackle anti—semitism. these school children are hundreds of miles away from the conflict in the middle east, but say their lives here in manchester have changed significantly. i think it's quite important to represent my identity, but it's the thing that makes me afraid. elaine dunkley, bbc news. one person has died and 21 people were wounded, including children, in a mass shooting at the superbowl victory parade in kansas city.

president biden has made a new appeal for action on gun control. our reporter will vernon has the details. gunshots ring out in central kansas city — the streets packed with families and sports fans. police rushed to the scene, as the injured are given first aid. skies, skies, skies. this reporter for local tv about to go live as the chaos unfolds. eyewitnesses described scenes of panic. all of a sudden, people started crushing forward. everybody started running. there was screaming. we didn't know what was happening. but this day and age, when people run, you run. people had gathered for this — a victory parade to celebrate the local american football team's win in the super bowl — america's biggest sporting event.

over 800 police had been deployed to protect the crowds. the mayor of kansas city said that shootings like this were becoming all too common in america. i think that's something that all of us who are parents, who are just regular people living each day have to decide what we wish to do about it. parades, rallies, schools, movies. it seems like almost nothing is safe. the kansas city chiefs' star player posted on social media that he was heartbroken over the tragedy. travis kelce said... "kansas city means the world to me." another wrote simply... "praying for kansas city." in a statement last night, president biden said... "joy had been turned to tragedy," and he called on americans to find

the resolve to end what he called the senseless epidemic of gun violence. will vernon, bbc news, washington. in the last few minutes, polls have opened in two by—elections — in seats which were won by the conservatives in 2019. a vote in kingswood in gloucestershire was triggered by chris skidmore's resignation as an mp, while the wellingborough by—election in northamptonshire comes after peter bone lost his seat after a recall petition. polls close at 10pm tonight. the number of international students applying for uk university undergraduate courses has risen for the second year in a row. the university admissions service, ucas, says almost 116,000 foreign students want places from september — an increase of 0.7% on last year. a memorial stone honouring the antarctic explorer, sir ernest shackleton, is to be dedicated at westminster abbey today. he is best known for saving the lives of his crew aftertheirship, endurance, became stuck in ice before sinking in 1915.

the shipwreck was discovered in 2022. at least seven people have been killed in israeli air strikes in lebanon. it comes after a hezbollah rocket killed a soldier in israel. our correspondent, jenny hill, is injerusalem. good morning to you. there is this big international effort, isn't there, to get a pause in the fighting, to stop what is going on now. and yet these incidents, these retaliatory incidents happen and they push back the progress of these efforts. , ~ ., ., efforts. yes. i think what we are seeinu in efforts. yes. i think what we are seeing in northern _ efforts. yes. i think what we are seeing in northern israel- efforts. yes. i think what we are seeing in northern israel on - efforts. yes. i think what we are seeing in northern israel on the | seeing in northern israel on the border of lebanon is a reminder, as if we needed one, ofjust how easy the conflict in gaza intensifies tensions elsewhere in the region. the eyes of the world now are focused on the gaza strip and the

southern city of rafah. there have been calls on benjamin netanyahu to rethink his strategy there. he has vowed to press on with a powerful ground offensive, as he puts it, on this southernmost city where he believes hamas fighters responsible for the attack on october the 7th are holed up, hiding out. that city is also temporarily home to well over a million palestinians. many of them have been displaced multiple times, they have moved from the north of the gaza strip to the south, leading in tented accommodation. they cannot really go any further south, right against the border with egypt. that border is closed to them. overnight the leaders of canada, australia and new

zealand have emphasised their concern about the situation, warning benjamin netanyahu a ground offensive would be devastating. israel has promised to allow civilians to move out of what is in effect a battle zone. leaders of these various countries and aid organisations are saying there is simply nowhere left for them to go. the duke and duchess of sussex have travelled to a canadian ski resort to attend an invictus games training camp. prince harry attempted sit—skiing as he joined athletes, with his wife meghan, in whistlerfor an event promoting next year's winter games in the city. it comes as the couple look to refresh their media brand, as our north america correspondent emma vardy reports. the new website appears to be a moment to refresh their brand as a couple, and it describes their aim as shaping the future through business and philanthropy. and the invictus games is an event very close to harry's heart. it's a sporting event that he founded to help people, who've suffered life—changing injuries.

so the couple are here in the canadian ski resort of whistler, meeting athletes one year out from the games — the event including winter sports for the first time. and, of course, harry and meghan have been working to establish their careers in other areas since stepping back as working royals and becoming financially independent. meghan has recently signed a new podcast deal since ending her relationship, for example, with spotify. but, of course, the big question on many people's minds since the king's cancer diagnosis is whether that and his treatment might help harry heal the rift with his family. of course, there's been tensions ever since he and meghan stepped back as royals and moved to california in the us. and we know that harry made a last—minute journey back to see his father last week, but we understand he only spent some 45 minutes with him — didn't see his brother william either. but he is now back out here, fulfilling his engagements, and supporting athletes at the invictus games, something

we know means a lot to him. that was our north america correspondent, emma vardy, reporting from whistler in canada. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. morning to you. morning. a mild start to the _ morning to you. morning. a mild start to the day _ morning to you. morning. a mild start to the day but _ morning to you. morning. a mild start to the day but murky, - start to the day but murky, particularly in the north and west. as we go through the day, many others will see some rain. two weather fronts, others will see some rain. two weatherfronts, one moving north across scotland into the northern isles and the second one is coming in from the west further rain across western and central scotland, moving out of northern ireland. you can see more cloud and rain across parts of wales and the south west. pushed eastwards into the midlands and east

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. there's been a signficant rise in the number of attacks onjewish people here in london since the hamas, israel conflict started on the 7th of october. the community security trust says more than 4,000 anti—semitic incidents were reported across the country — with more than 70 per cent taking place in the capital. the data also revealed there was a sharp increase in incidents involving jewish schoolchildren. a group of londoners with long covid have helped put together a series of videos to help others cope with the condition(oov) it's part of the south east london long covid programme — run by guys and st thomas's hospital. the videos have been created based on the patient experiences these

on the patient experiences videos are really fantas�* and these videos are really fantastic and we are proud of what we've managed to create. my first reaction when i saw the final bit together was why wasn't this available when i first started? the british museum says it's hopeful many items that were stolen from the institution and then sold to dealers around the world will be recovered. a member of staff was sacked after it was revealed that around 2,000 artefacts were taken over a number of years — but already some have been returned. now, an exhibition of those items including some gem stones is set to open later today. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's minor delays on the central, district, hammersmith and city lines. the piccidilly line and 0vergound are both part suspended. sticking with the london 0verground and its various lines are to be given names — to make the network easier to navigate. each of the 6 routes currently coloured orange on the tube map will be given names that reflect londons rich diversity — and bring them in line with the rest of the underground.

and you can see a list of the new names on our website, just go to bbc.co.uk/london now onto the weather with katerina. good morning. a mild start to the day and temperatures in double figures this morning and we will see decent sunny spells developers the day progresses. here is the picture this morning with a dry start of the day in the cloud breaking up nicely to for sunny spells and we stay dry for most of the day, just towards the end of the afternoon it will cloud over widely and that's when you'll start to get showers pushing in. highs today of around 15 or 16 celsius with a moderate southerly breeze. this evening, the showers will shift and it will be dry for a time of clear spells but further outbreaks of rain will pushing through the course of the night and some heavy bursts in the rain too but most of the rain will clear by the end of the night. looking at lows of around nine to 10 celsius on friday morning. cloudy first thing, but it will brighten up some sunny spells around for many of us it will

be dry with a chance of one or two isolated showers and it stays mild through the weekend and slightly cooler through next week. that's it from me — much on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now lets cross back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. in the last half an hour, british gas has announced profits of £750 million for 2023, ten times the amount it made in the previous 12 months. let's speak now to our business editor simonjack. it's one of those moments where we think about the numbers and they

i've actually found it quite natural. i've enjoyed the challenges it's thrown at me, watching players grow individually and then the team knit together. so yeah, i'm really, really enjoying it. the sam burgess story is already the stuff of legend. and young burgess 17 years of age... a precociously talented teenager, incredibly one of four professional rugby league playing brothers, all of whom took their talent down under. the south sydney rabbitohs owned by russell crowe, was where sam excelled. he captained his country, playing alongside his brothers. his, theirs, is a rugby league dynasty that may never be matched. the transition to coach has been swift enough that former teammates, including the current england captain, are now under his charge. some of the young lads, he's their idol, which is it's great for them. they come in and they said, don't meet your heroes, they know me. but i think the lads have been buzzing off of me. i can't speak highly enough of him. and yeah, look, i played with him

and now he's my coach, which is great. but warrington, they've always had high hopes and now with a new superstar coach, could he be the inspiration to match that aspiration? well, they've already had the perspiration. sam's victory on tv show sas australia, leading to the pre—season military boot camp. yeah, three days we did. cold, wet, miserable. as you can imagine, sam said it'll not make you a better rugby player, but it'll make you a better team mate. and i think we got better at that. i think when the look back on it, you might see the reasoning for it, but whilst they're in the middle of it, they didn't quite enjoy it. but if it helps it a small bit then it was worth it. but a few sore heads at the end of it. still amidst the highs, it's a career that's overcome plenty. the burgess brothers lost theirfather, also a rugby league player, at a young age to motor neurone disease. much more recently, issues in sam burgess�*s private life

have made both front and back pages. i think i've been through some really tough times growing up as a player, as a retired player and as a coach. i'll probably go through some things. but know personally, i've grown as a as a human being since all that. overall, i think it'll make me a better coach. young sam burgess to plunge over. in a twist of sporting fate, the coach that gave him his chance as a player almost 20 years ago will also be the coach he comes up against in his first game in charge. when he was 17 and was a young adolescent trying to turn into a man, he was going through sort of things with his with his family, with his father's illness, with mnd. and to see a young man cope with that situation, to look after his father, not only that, to integrate into a dressing room and play super league, play internationals, that sort of image of all the achievements he's done in the in the sport. i think dealing with that as a young man in a family situation is as good an accolade, and that's

the most thing i'm most proud of him for. the return of sam burgess was a hot topic amongst those at the season's launch. still, there is plenty more to discuss, like who can stop reigning champions wigan or current world club champions st helens? it doesn't really matter who's won last year. now it's all down to this now this year. and obviously, you know, silverware is at the forefront of everyone's mind. but as long as we have the same, i guess, attitude of learning every week and trying to progress and things like that, it should all come together. it's the first time we're going in not as favourites for a long time, and there's that fresh feeling going in as chasing something as opposed to defending something is quite exciting. completing the super league line up this year is london. the broncos back once again as the sports tries to crack the capital conundrum. the season, though, begins in more traditional surroundings, a hull derby kicking off a super league commanding more attention than ever before. adam wild, bbc news. a massive match to begin with tonight— a massive match to begin with tonight and so much to look forward tonight and so much to look forward to and _ tonight and so much to look forward to and it's _ tonight and so much to look forward to and it's hard to call and potentially record crowds and

free. they all say business is pretty good. people are coming in and spending money, even if they are watching the pennies more. what these figures do as they give a picture of the economy as a whole and it is bad news. it is official the uk at the end of 2023 did enter recession. the figures we got this morning for the last three months were worse than most economists were expecting. we will go over the details in a second. we have experts to help us understand it better. the cost of living has had a big impact. most of us have less money to spend. that impact the economy as a whole. interest rates have had an impact as well. people are spending money on mortgages and rent. they do not have enough money to spend in the shops.

rishi sunak made five promises, one was to grow the economy. that is clearly not happening. we have had a statement from the chancellor in at last be minutes where he is putting it down to interest rates. that means it is not surprising that the economy shrank. labour says it shows the government because my plan to grow the economy is in tatters. a big battle for that going on already. i will bring in chris. you are an economist from the centre for economic and business research. help us understand. how bad are these figures, how worried should people be? ., . , . , figures, how worried should people be? ., ,, , figures, how worried should people be? ., ,, be? today it was surprisingly bad. we were expecting _ be? today it was surprisingly bad. we were expecting 0.1% - be? today it was surprisingly bad. we were expecting 0.1% and i be? today it was surprisingly bad. we were expecting 0.1% and it i be? today it was surprisingly bad. i we were expecting 0.1% and it came in at we were expecting 0.1% and it came inat 0~3%~ _ we were expecting 0.1% and it came in at 0.3%. this is a very shallow recession. — in at 0.3%. this is a very shallow recession, particularly if you think

trying to paint the picture essentially that things are improving, even though these figures paint a slightly different picture. there is no doubt at all these are bad figures for the government. they are going to be attacked by opposition parties in the next few months, saying you promised great and it is the opposite. not surprising the chancellor has said there is a plan they think will work. the question for the government is whether people see it in their see it in the broader economic picture. given inflation figures yesterday which showed the falling inflation had stopped, basically, given these recession figures, i think it would be a tricky day for the chancellor. thank you very much. you are going to pick up with a story. these are

figures in relation to attacks on jewish people. absolutely. a charity, which monitors antisemitism across the uk says there's been an increase in assaults and abuse targeting jewish people. the community security trust says there were more than 4,000 incidents of antisemitism across the uk in 2023, some involving jewish school children. here's our education correspondent, elaine dunkley. there are guards and high—rise fences. security is tight. this is a jewish school in manchester. inside the king david high school, pupils tell me they feel safe. outside the school, they're experiencing increasing levels of anti—semitism. a few weeks ago, i was threatened and i reported it. and the police have dealt with that. personally, when i've been walking down the street, i've had stuff shouted to me from cars and it's had quite an impact. i get public transport to school and ijust feel a lot more wary. actually coming to school,

there's definitely been, like, an increased police presence around school. thisjewish girls school in london was targeted and vandalised in the aftermath of hamas's attacks on israel in october last year. today's figures, published by the community security trust, are compiled from people calling their helpline to report anti—semitic attacks they have experienced or witnessed and are also taken from police data. the report indicates anti—semitic incidents affecting school children have more than trebled compared to 2022. it says 87 incidents took place atjewish schools and 127 were recorded at mainstream schools. and there were 111 incidents affecting children travelling to or from school. what about food 7 rabbi benjy reichman has been working with different faith schools across manchester for more than a decade and says education is the key to tackling anti—semitism. when you can humanise the other, then you realise how much similarity exists between groups and over the years, before our student

population became more diverse, we took ourjewish kids to muslim schools. we did quite a lot of activities with schools in south manchester. some of the most beautiful moments is when you have those — those real nuggets of education. when a young person goes, "0h, we're not so different after all." the government says it's ringfenced £7 million to help schools in england tackle anti—semitism. these school children are hundreds of miles away from the conflict in the middle east, but say their lives here in manchester have changed significantly. i think it's quite important to represent my identity, but it's the thing that makes me afraid. elaine dunkley, bbc news. one person has died and 21 people were wounded, including children, in a mass shooting at the superbowl victory parade in kansas city. president biden has made a new appeal for action on gun control. our reporter will vernon has the details.

gunshots ring out in central kansas city — the streets packed with families and sports fans. police rushed to the scene, as the injured are given first aid. skies, skies, skies. this reporter for local tv about to go live as the chaos unfolds. eyewitnesses described scenes of panic. all of a sudden, people started crushing forward. everybody started running. there was screaming. we didn't know what was happening. but this day and age, when people run, you run. people had gathered for this — a victory parade to celebrate the local american football team's win in the super bowl — america's biggest sporting event. over 800 police had been deployed to protect the crowds. the mayor of kansas city said that shootings like this were becoming

all too common in america. i think that's something that all of us who are parents, who are just regular people living each day have to decide what we wish to do about it. parades, rallies, schools, movies. it seems like almost nothing is safe. the kansas city chiefs' star player posted on social media that he was heartbroken over the tragedy. travis kelce said... "kansas city means the world to me." another wrote simply... "praying for kansas city." in a statement last night, president biden said... "joy had been turned to tragedy," and he called on americans to find the resolve to end what he called the senseless epidemic of gun violence. will vernon, bbc news, washington. voting is under way in two by—elections — in seats which were won by the conservatives in 2019. a vote in kingswood

thursday, quite different. temperatures could get up to 18 degrees and notjust in lincolnshire. for many of us a fair bit of cloud around, a fair bit of rain and mild. two bands of rain, one moving north. the one from the west will push east. you can see the cloud associated with it across south—east england and wales. in the midlands, east anglia and the south—east drier and brighter. when across the north of england and western scotland. eastern scotland largely dry but the rain will continue to push up into the northern isles. in the afternoon, as the weather front continues to journey east it will pick up toward south—west england, in south wales and the midlands. the rain will be persistent and falling on an already saturated ground. it could lead to issues with standing water and localised flooding. we could see 17,

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. there's been a signficant rise in the number of attacks onjewish people here in london since the hamas—israel conflict started on the 7th of october. the community security trust says more than 4,000 anti—semitic incidents were reported across the country — with more than 70 per cent taking place in the capital. the data also revealed there was a sharp increase in incidents involving jewish schoolchildren. a group of londoners with long covid have helped put together a series of videos to help others cope with the condition. it's part of the south east london long covid programme run by guys and st thomas's hospital. the videos have been created based on the patient experiences. these videos are fantastic. we are all really, really proud of what we've managed to create. my first reaction when i saw the

final bit together was why wasn't this available when i first started? the british museum says it's hopeful many items that were stolen from the institution and then sold to dealers around the world will be recovered. a member of staff was sacked after it was revealed that around 2,000 artefacts were taken over a number of years — but already some have been returned. now, an exhibition of those items including some gem stones is set to open later today. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's minor delays on the central, elizabeth and hammersmith and city lines. the piccidilly line has severe delays and the 0vergound is part suspended. sticking with the london 0verground and its various lines are due to be given names — to make the network easier to navigate. each of the six routes currently coloured orange on the tube map will be given new colours and names that reflect london's rich diversity. the move will bring them in line with the rest of the underground. and you can see a list of the new names on our website just go to bbc.co.uk/london. now onto the weather with

katerina. good morning. a mild start to the day and temperatures in double figures this morning and we will see decent sunny spells develop as the day progresses. here is your picture this morning with a dry start of the day in the cloud breaking up nicely to allow for sunny spells and we stay dry for most of the day, just towards the end of the afternoon it will cloud over widely and that's when you'll start to get showers pushing in. highs today of around 15 or 16 celsius with a moderate southerly breeze. this evening, the showers will shift and it will be dry for a time with clear spells but further outbreaks of rain will pushing through the course of the night and some heavy bursts in the rain too but most of the rain will clear by the end of the night. looking at lows of around nine to 10 celsius. friday morning, cloudy first thing, but it will brighten up some sunny spells around for many of us it will

be dry with a chance of one or two isolated showers and it stays mild through the weekend and slightly cooler through next week. that's it from me — much on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now lets cross back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the latest gdp figures were released earlier this morning, showing that the uk economy is in recession. nick is at a market in shrewsbury for us and can run through the details. i suppose the headline is, yes, recession, but the question is, is it as bad as was predicted? it’s it as bad as was predicted? it's actually a _ it as bad as was predicted? it's actually a bit — it as bad as was predicted? it�*s actually a bit worse. the figures we court this morning were slightly

worse than most economists were predicting, so this is for the final quarter of 2023, the last three months of 2023 which includes that busy christmas period where shops are normally doing pretty well. the economy shrank by 0.3% and as i say, economists thought it would shrink, but not necessarily by that much and it was definitely had but not necessarily by that much and it was definitely bad news and it's particularly bad news because it is the second three—month period in a row where the economy has got smaller and that is the definition used to determine when we are in recession so the uk at the end of 2023 was in recession. there are some big questions about how deep the recession is and how long it will last and by how much the economy is going to shrink, and the consensus is that it's not going to last long and we might be out of it already because these figures are until the end of 2023 and then it's not going to be that bad a

contraction for the economy but it is still a recession and i've been having a look at some of the numbers and there are particular bits that make for grim reading. gdp, economic output per head, for each person in the country, has gone down 0.7% over the country, has gone down 0.7% over the course of the year and that sounds pretty complicated but it pretty much means that the economy is not a great place and there are more people, so the amount of economic output is lower per person, so not good news. i suspect for a lot of people at home this will not be a surprise because we all see it every day. inflation, we got the figures yesterday, still about 4%, and prices are still going up and there is still a squeeze on household incomes and still high interest rates meaning mortgages are higher, rent is higher as well so the broad economic picture is frankly not great but let's have a chat with some of the traders here because they will be able to give us

there's a lot of games to go and we need to focus on ourselves not on how many goals of the teams have or not or whatever. it is focus on ourselves and that is what we will do in the next couple of months. there was quite a story at aberdeen, where the much travelled neil warnock used his nous and experience at the age of 75. his team were 3—0 down at home to motherwell inside half an hour. so what does he do? well, he drags two players off, brings on the man they call duke, and it works like magic. a goal before half—time and then a second half equaliser, to make it 3—3. and super duke got two of those. that's a first point for warnock since taking charge of aberdeen last week. ipswich are right back in the race for the second automatic promotion place, in the championship, after their first win in a month it was so comfortable, at millwall.

and its quite brutal and the fans are tough as well and they tell you straight, they wear their heart on their sleeves and all of the local lads, who play for hull fc, they wear their heart on the sleeve and i hope they get the win on thursday. it's massive for us and massive for them _ it's massive for us and massive for them and — it's massive for us and massive for them and for— it's massive for us and massive for them and for the city. we will be really _ them and for the city. we will be really looking forward to it to run out there — really looking forward to it to run out there on thursday night and we will make _ out there on thursday night and we will make sure we are the best prepped — will make sure we are the best prepped and whichever team takes it is the _ prepped and whichever team takes it is the trest— prepped and whichever team takes it is the best on the night, but we will he — is the best on the night, but we will be fully prepared for that. what — will be fully prepared for that. what a — will be fully prepared for that. what a great curtain raiser and we will show— what a great curtain raiser and we will show you _ what a great curtain raiser and we will show you what _ what a great curtain raiser and we will show you what happens - what a great curtain raiser and we - will show you what happens tomorrow. so much _ will show you what happens tomorrow. so much speed — will show you what happens tomorrow. so much speed and _ will show you what happens tomorrow. so much speed and impact— will show you what happens tomorrow. so much speed and impact and - will show you what happens tomorrow. so much speed and impact and they. so much speed and impact and they don't _ so much speed and impact and they don't mind — so much speed and impact and they don't mind a — so much speed and impact and they don't mind a bit— so much speed and impact and they don't mind a bit of— so much speed and impact and they don't mind a bit of rain— so much speed and impact and they don't mind a bit of rain making - so much speed and impact and they don't mind a bit of rain making the. don't mind a bit of rain making the surface _ don't mind a bit of rain making the surface wet — don't mind a bit of rain making the surface wet and _ don't mind a bit of rain making the surface wet and slippery _ don't mind a bit of rain making the surface wet and slippery so - don't mind a bit of rain making the surface wet and slippery so they. surface wet and slippery so they slide. _ surface wet and slippery so they slide. the — surface wet and slippery so they slide, the impact _ surface wet and slippery so they slide, the impact on _ surface wet and slippery so they slide, the impact on the - surface wet and slippery so they slide, the impact on the ground| surface wet and slippery so they- slide, the impact on the ground may be slide, the impact on the ground may he not _ slide, the impact on the ground may he not as— slide, the impact on the ground may he not as much _ slide, the impact on the ground may be not as much.— be not as much. quite a spectacle. absolutely- — be not as much. quite a spectacle. absolutely. fantastic— be not as much. quite a spectacle. absolutely. fantastic spectacle. i absolutely. fantastic spectacle. thanks. — absolutely. fantastic spectacle. thanks, mike. carol, iassume, although i should not assume things, not an expert on rugby league but an
