6:00 am
the conjoined twins, expected to survive for a just a few days — now seven years old — living with their dad in cardiff. in sport... manchester united heading in one direction. harry styles brought the stardust, rasmus hojlund the goals, as united beat luton. good morning. a band of rain pushing south and east. weakening as it does so. behind it sunshine and showers. a mild day for the time of year. all the details later in the programme. it's monday, the 19th of february. our main story. headteachers in england have been given government guidance on how to stop children from using mobile phones in schools.
6:01 am
ministers had already committed to introducing a ban last year but many schools already have their own restrictions in place and there are questions over how much difference this new advice will make. yunus mulla reports. i need that one too. good friends and in the first year of high school. but with year seven, there's also more time on their mobiles and screen time away from home. i can't find my friends at school because we normally have different... sometimes we have different lessons. sometimes i need to contact my parents. perhaps no surprise to find talk of taking those devices away during school hours hasn't gone down well. like when you're trying to learn, it can be distracting. but like, i don't really see the harm at, like, lunchtime or break. i think it would, like, take away your freedom when you needed to call your parents or talk about something you don't know how to talk to a teacher about. for parent olivia, her daughter having a mobile away
6:02 am
from home is reassuring. and although the school has a strict policy, there are concerns. outside influences, i guess, sort of having access to the internet — that worries me and that she's not concentrating at school. and again, bullying is probably the biggest thing for me. according to government data, almost a third of secondary school pupils said mobile phones were being used without permission. one survey found 44% of primary school parents are concerned about the time their children spend on electronic devices. that figure increases to half of all parents in secondary schools. many schools already have restrictions in place when it comes to using mobiles in classrooms and on school premises. the guidance is aiming to make that approach consistent across all schools and they will be supported. in recent weeks, the mother of brianna ghey has called for tougher regulations on the use of social media. her daughter's killers had accessed and watched harmful and extremely
6:03 am
violent material on their phones. i would like to see the law changed, so that children only have access to children's mobile phones. that could look exactly the same as an adult�*s mobile phone, but without the ability to download social media apps. year six is kind of the prime... you know, they're that little bit older, it's that transition to secondary school. tony guys is currently the longest serving secondary school headteacher in calderdale, west yorkshire. he doesn't know of a single headteacher, who hasn't already taken action. the problem isn't the phones. the problem is what's on the phones. it's the social media and access to social media on the phones that is causing the issue. isn't it a sign that government is making this a priority for you? when i go into school on monday, this isn't going to be on the top of my to do list. finding the next maths teacher, the next science teacher will be. balancing my next budget
6:04 am
where school funding has not kept up with inflation. that's on my to do list. wondering which bit of the roof was blown off in the storm or which leaks i'm going to have to patch because of the rain — that'll be on my to do list. but actually we implemented a mobile phone policy a long time ago. the move is being seen as bringing england in line with other countries, including france and italy. but some will question if it is too little too late. yunus mulla, bbc news. we will be putting some of those issues to education secretary gillian keegan at half past seven. two police officers have been disciplined in connection with a whatsapp message, relating to the fatal knife attacks on three people in nottingham lastjune. the force described the texts as "crude and distasteful". our reporter aruna iyengar has more. the two 19—year—old students, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and school caretaker ian coates were stabbed to death by valdo calocane in june last year. there was disbelief from their relatives when calocane
6:05 am
received a sentence of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. the deaths shocked the country and united a city. now the families have found out officers in nottinghamshire police shared an inappropriate whatsapp message about the killings in the days after the incident. this was also shared with people outside the police force. last night, nottinghamshire police defended themselves, saying they took immediate action when they found out about the message. a disciplinary hearing was held injanuary, but they admitted that some of the words in the message were crude and distasteful, adding that all officers have been reminded of the appropriate use of whatsapp as a result of this misconduct hearing. one officer is being dealt with in what's described as a management intervention. another has been given a final warning. the mother of barnaby webber, emma, said it was an abhorrent way to conduct an investigation and said the families hadn't been made aware of this data breach.
6:06 am
she's previously criticised the police investigation and spoke about her concerns to breakfast last month. it's also the failings of the police to investigate and act accordingly up to the attacks and also the investigation of the case we've got real concerns about, and the way that we've we've been managed by the cps. nottinghamshire police say no other officers were found guilty of misconduct. the families of the three victims are calling for a public inquiry into the handling of the case. arun iyengar, bbc news. a 42—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after three children were found dead at a property in bristol. avon and somerset police made the discovery when officers attended a concern for welfare call in the early hours of yesterday morning.
6:07 am
the arrested woman is in police custody in hospital. a major search is continuing this morning, for a two—year—old boy who fell into the river soar in leicester. police say the child was with his family when he fell into the water yesterday afternoon. the public have been asked to stay away from the area due to rising water levels. a minister in israel's war cabinet has warned that unless hamas frees all hostages held in gaza by ramadan, which starts on the 10th of march, an offensive will be launched in rafah. around 1.5 million palestinians are currently sheltering in the southern city. our correspondentjenny hill is in jerusalem. how likely is it that some kind of deal can be done to that military action in rafah? fist deal can be done to that military action in rafah?_ action in rafah? at this stage extremely — action in rafah? at this stage extremely unlikely. _ action in rafah? at this stage extremely unlikely. qataris . action in rafah? at this stage l extremely unlikely. qataris had
6:08 am
action in rafah? at this stage - extremely unlikely. qataris had been leading negotiations and they are saying the prospects for any kind of settlement don't look particularly good. if israel is serious about this deadline, it is the first time we have had any kind of timescale from them, it means three weeks to move those civilians out of harm's way. israel has promised it will do so before it begins any ground offensive. it is yet to publish any kind of detailed plan. it is hard to see where those people would go. this is the southernmost tip of gaza, the southernmost city. people could try to go to the north and west to a little patch of open ground for that they could try to cross the border with egypt which is currently closed to them. reports suggest egypt might be building a walled enclosure at the border which looks like it could be a fiddly deal though egyptian authorities deny making such a plan. there is huge
6:09 am
and mounting international pressure on benjamin netanyahu to spare rafah. aid agencies and foreign governments are hugely concerned about the reportedly high number of casualties sustained during israel's operation in gaza following the october the 7th attacks. benjamin netanyahu seems determined to press ahead. he says there are battalions of hamas fighters still in rafah. he has insisted he will forjohn and, as he per click, get thejob done. thank you very much indeed. the widow of alexei navalny will meet eu foreign ministers in brussels today after the death of the russian opposition leader was announced on friday. it comes as questions still remain over the circumstances of navalny�*s death and the whereabouts of his body. our eastern european correspondent sarah rainsford joins us now. sarah, what's likely
6:10 am
to be discussed? i think first and foremost this is about eu foreign ministers and eu as about eu foreign ministers and eu as a whole showing it support for the wife of alexei navalny. she spoke on friday very soon after the first report that alexei navalny may have died. there was a report from the prison service and she was at the security conference. she came out and made a very emotional speech. she did not know if it was true. if it was she wanted vladimir putin and his entire entourage to be held responsible for that. it was an extremely strong speech. she was holding back her tears and emotion. it was very moving for people who were listening. now she is in brussels and is meeting eu foreign ministers. she will go to press that
6:11 am
message home. while we do not know the reasons and causes of the death of alexei navalny in prison, his wife and his entire political team do believe that ultimately puke in matt russia and putin himself are responsible, because vladimir putin put him in prison, he was a greater challenge to him and charges against him were politically motivated. it is clear they want political responsibility for mr putin and his team. the business secretary kemi badenoch will make a statement to mps today, after accusing the former chairman of the post office of misrepresenting the circumstances of his departure. it follows a newspaper interview in which henry staunton claims he was told by a senior civil servant to stall compensation payments for victims of the post office scandal. mr staunton was appointed in december 2022, but left the post last month, after ms badenoch said "new leadership" was needed.
6:12 am
the british medical association will announce this afternoon ifjunior doctors in northern ireland have voted to strike over pay. the union is asking for an above inflation pay increase because it says junior doctors' salaries have fallen by 30% over the last 15 years in real terms. if action does go ahead it will mean a 24—hour walkout on march 6th. ramblers say hundreds of areas of open countryside in england are currently inaccessible because they are surrounded by private property. a campaign group found that 6,500 acres of land where there is a right to roam, are actually only accessible by trespassing. the government says it's considering how to deal with the problem. did you watch the baftas last night?
6:13 am
oppenheimer was the big winner last night. it took home seven prizes — including for best film and director. but, there was nothing for barbie, which was the biggest box office hit of last year. our culture editor katie razzall has the story of the night. last night, london was a who's who of the film world. britain and america united to celebrate movies, with the irish out in force. all in front of the world's photographers, and the president of bafta — the prince of wales. this red carpet is heaving with the kind of star power only the biggest night of the british film calendar can deliver. a night to celebrate talent on screen and behind the camera here in britain and across the world. it is no exaggeration to say this room has in it the greatest actors in the world. yes.
6:14 am
inside the royal festival hall, master of ceremonies, david tennant, got down to business. right. let's give out some baftas. a night of laughter, but also emotion, particularly when da'vinejoy randolph picked up best supporting actress for playing mary lamb, a bereaved mother and school cook in the holdovers. there have been countless marys throughout history, who have never got a chance to wear a beautiful gown and stand on this stage here in london. best actress went to emma stone for poor things. the frankenstein style fantasy walked away with five awards in all. i really want to just thank my mom because she's the best person i know in the whole world. and she inspires me every single day. and stone beat, amongst others, margot robbie. barbie, the biggest—grossing movie of the year, was entirely snubbed at the baftas. bradley cooper's maestro and martin scorsese's killers of the flower moon also walked away with nothing. the zone of interest. instead, a british film in german,
6:15 am
about the holocaust triumphed. the zone of interest picked up three awards. best sound, outstanding british film and film not in english. the award for rising star went to mia mckenna—bruce, whose performance in how to have sex has won so much praise. to kind of get to do the thing that i love most in the whole entire world, and people be like, "yeah, that's kind of cool." it's amazing. cillian murphy. murphy's acclaimed director, christopher nolan, had never won a bafta. oppenheimer, his film about the father of the atomic bomb, now has seven — including best actor. one man's monster is another man's hero. and that's why i love movies, because we have a space to celebrate and interrogate and investigate that complexity. oompa loompa. dumpa—dee—dee. wonka's hugh grant riffed on his character. now the best director category.
6:16 am
christopher nolan, oppenheimer. it's an incredible honour being back home, getting this from bafta - in the festival hall, _ where my mum and dad used to drag me to make me have some culture. michaelj fox, diagnosed with parkinson's disease 30 years ago, got a standing ovation. it can change your day. it can change your outlook. sometimes, it can even change your life. in a surprise appearance, he handed out the biggest award — best film. oppenheimer. oppenheimer�*s night to celebrate — a night that mayjust be repeated at the oscars in three weeks. katie razzall, bbc news. what a night! whata night! i what a night! i loved hugh grant channelling his oompa lumpa in a really grumpy way.
6:17 am
here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. the weather this week, for the first half, is fairly quiet. second half we will be talking about winter conditions, cooler temperatures. some of us may see snow, especially on higher ground. today have a band of rain crossing us. this is the rain that has been coming in from the north—west. it has been heavy overnight across parts of scotland and it is continuing to push down towards the south—east. to clear the far south—east. to clear the far south—east by lunchtime. behind it we are looking at sunny spells and scattered showers. with high cloud building in the west some of the sunshine in the west could be hazy. the new weather front comes in across the north west with stronger wins and when. these are the temperatures. the amount a day in lerwick. temperatures are down a
6:18 am
touch on yesterday. yesterday an gospel reached 17. the average at the time of year is about eight, nine. this evening and overnight rain from western scotland will push east. another band of rain bringing in cloud ahead of it. misty and murky conditions and brain and strengthening winds in the west. there will be clear skies in the east. this is where temperatures will be at their lowest, four in east anglia. widely 68 degrees. the band of rain continues to sink steadily southwards. behind it we are back in to sunshine and showers. doesn't get into the far south—east till much later in the day. these are the temperatures, six to 8 degrees. when conjoined twins marieme and ndeye were born in senegal, doctors only expected them to survive for a few days.
6:19 am
at the age of two, they moved to the uk for treatment at great ormond street hospital, and since then the girls have defied all the odds and recently celebrated their seventh birthday. our reporter lucy owen has their story. what is it now? marieme and ndeye enjoying playing with their friends at mount stuart primary. theirfather always hoped they'd go to mainstream school. it's a way for me to show that they are part of society. this is what i wanted — for them to have a normal life. to see kids, to play with them, to laugh with them, to make friends, to develop as individuals. they don't have to hide from anybody. dad applied for them to come to nursery here because we were local. they were three at that point and joined our nursery part time and we were frightened and we were scared that we'd get it wrong.
6:20 am
but we knew that we could build a good relationship with dad and that if we could build the relationship with dad, that we could make it work. the wonderful thing about children is they only see their friend. they're both so pretty. i like cats too and they like cats. they're really kind to us and they're really nice to play with. ndeye's favourite colour . is my favourite colour too. that's why they're stuck together — because they really love each other. and we always do girl power with them. girl power! the twins need regular monitoring and hospital checkups. the doctor will listen to your heart. thanks. can you feel it? where can you feel it? can you feel it there? are you going to tell me? are you already training to be a doctor? - they've got one pair of legs .
6:21 am
between them and one pelvis. moving up through their abdomen, they've got a lot— of different organs. so we've got bowels and we've got a urinary system. - they've got two totally separate i spinal cords with all their nerves, yet somehow they completely co—ordinate and they don't . have to tell each other how to move an arm or how to move a leg. - itjust works. and again, two separate hearts. but we know they're linked - and they can't survive on their own. this is an x—ray of the girls' pelvis and the lower abdomen. and what you can clearly see here are two spines. normally, you'd have a spine going straight up out of the pelvis but here we've got one here and one here. so this is illustrating the approximate place of where they are joined. when we first met them, i you know, they were babies and i think there's i a lot of uncertainty. could they be separated or what might happen? i and, having worked through those
6:22 am
very, very difficult conversations, i now we've just had two years i where we've hardly seen them in hospital, and that's been really, really good. - i think there is no doubt their life is going to be complex. i think we've still got serious risks of infection and serious risks to their hearts. i think that is probably the area where they're going to struggle. if you develop an infection in your bladder or your kidneys and you can't get on top of it with antibiotics, there is a risk of that evolving into sepsis. so that's a real risk for them. and, also heart failure. it's getting a balance between being prepared, being realistic, but not talking about that all the time. shall we go and show everybody in the classroom? yeah. one of the main hopes for marieme and ndeye is that they will be able to stand and perhaps one day walk. at school, they spend time in a standing frame to get them used to being upright. they have a standing frame because if you've been in a wheelchair
6:23 am
all your life, you're not used to being upright. so we're training them to get some strength in their legs. what does everybody say when you're in the standing frame, girls? oh, you look tall! whatever challenges the girls face, their dad believes their courage can inspire others. as i say to many people, "we're going to live." how long? i don't know. i don't want to know now. i don't want to know. ijust concentrate on the present and making every day a surprise and celebrating life. amazing girls. just goes to show with their pals at school, they don't see the difference. they talk about favourite colours and girl power. the dad wants to make every day special. wonderful. you can see more on that story, called
6:24 am
inseparable sisters will air on wednesday night at quarter to ii on bbc one and on the bbc iplayer. this week marks the second anniversary of the start of the war in ukraine and, as russian forces make advances in the east, there are concerns over what a third year of conflict may bring. our correspondent andrew harding has returned to the town of lyman, close to the frontline, to find out how people there are feeling. how do you judge the mood of a country this big and this broken? we've come back to a frontline town — lyman — a place seized by russian forces and then liberated by ukraine back in 2022. since then, the closest frontlines have remained just up the road. this was aleksander a year ago with his cats. aleksander? yes. andrew from bbc. today he's still here. "yes, i remember you," he says.
6:25 am
he shows me the wreckage of his old apartment block, hit by russian missiles. and he says he sees this war differently now. i want peace, peace, peace. so has your opinion changed? changed — many changed. so this is interesting. he's changed his opinion over the course of the last year. before, he said ukraine had to win this war. now he's saying there's been too much death, too much suffering. he wants talks, even if it means giving up land. peace is more important than victory. you can feel the weariness on the streets of lyman. british aid distributed here, mostly to pensioners, who ignore the sound of another explosion on the front lines. "our youth are being exterminated." "if this continues, there'll be no ukraine left," says nadezhda.
6:26 am
"this war will go on for a long time yet," says pasha. but it's not all gloom here. council workers are out doing what they can and a younger generation isjust getting on with life. school is mostly online, but not entirely. "i've got everything i need," she says. a year ago, we found families hiding from the war in these cellars. and today, the dmitrichenko family are still here. but there's regular electricity now — waterfrom a pump outside, and irina, an accountant, is quietly determined. "we're waiting for victory," she says. "we are all tired, but i don't see how we can negotiate with murderers."
6:27 am
still, lyman�*s mayor is worried that america will stop supplying weapons to the ukrainian troops protecting his town. "we're fighting a monster," says aleksander. "so we need more outside military help. our soldiers are doing their best, but they're running out of guns and ammunition." this small town feels torn between determination and despair. what unites it now is sheer exhaustion, the knowledge that this war will not be quickly won, and increasingly, the fear that ukraine's fate may yet be decided by foreign politicians in faraway capitals. andrew harding, bbc news in eastern ukraine. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
6:28 am
hello, good morning from bbc london, i'mjim wheble. serial rapist david carrick has been stripped of his state—funded metropolitan police pension. the former officer was jailed last year after admitting dozens of sexual offences against 12 women. the mayor's office said it was removing all employer contributions to his pension which is the maximum they can do under the current law. in terms of the overall rules around gross misconduct, we have lobbied very hard to the government to make it quick and easier for any police force, obviously in this case the metropolitan police force, to get rid of people and if we think it should be getting rid of, you know, take people's pensions away should be easier if it's damaging the trust and confidence of communities. heathrow airport is aiming to have new security scanners in all terminals by summer, which will end the restrictions on liquids in hand luggage. there was a deadline to bring in the technology by 2022,
6:29 am
but the date was then moved tojune this year. it means passengers soon won't have to put toiletries into see through plastic bags. councils will have greater power to control short—term lets with the aim of helping to regulate the market and the supply of local housing. the new law will mean anyone letting out their property as a holiday home will need to get permission from the local authority although the rules won't apply to those renting their home for 90 days a year or less. new designs in the running for the next fourth plinth are being revealed today. the huge commission in trafalgar square is now in its 25th year. previous works include a dollop of cream with a cherry on top, a bright blue cockerel and a ship in a bottle. let's take a look at the tubes now and there's a good service on all lines this morning. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, and a very good morning to you.
6:30 am
it's a cloudy start to the day and there's some outbreaks of patchy rain in places but that will clear and it becomes drier and brighter as the day progresses. it's a weak weather front that's bringing that rain and drizzle for a time, cloudy and damp weather clearing to allow much more in the way of drier and brighter weather, some spells of sunshine although it will be hazy at times and temperatures reaching around 12 to 14 celsius with the breeze. into the evening, dry, clear skies, some patches of cloud around as well. and temperatures overnight will dip to around 4—7 celsius and for tuesday it should be largely dry. there will be quite a lot of cloud around, though, but we have this waving weather front that will arrive later for wednesday bringing some wet and windy weather for a time, quite unsettled conditions. it will stay mild for the time being so temperatures for the next few days still 12 to 14 celsius. after the rain on wednesday, it stays quite unsettled for thursday as well but temperatures gradually back to around average for the time of year. that's it from me, but take
6:31 am
a look at our website, you may have seen the other day that parts of the london overground have been given names. there's a piece that explains just what goes in to doing that, more then you think. but for now back to nina and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. we've been talking this morning about new government guidance that's been issued to headteachers in england, aimed at stopping children from using mobile phones in schools. let's take a look at some of the policies being suggested. headteachers could decide to completely ban phones from being brought into schools, telling pupils to leave them at home. or they may decide that access before and after school is allowed but on arrival pupils should hand their devices to staff.
6:32 am
another option suggested by the government is for schools to implement a policy where phones are placed in lockers or storage for the duration of the day. or some schools may choose to allow pupils to keep possession of their devices on the strict condition that they are never used, seen or heard. we're joined now by geoff barton, the general secretary of the association of school and college leaders. those are the possibilities being sent out as guidance to head teachers. sent out as guidance to head teachers-_ sent out as guidance to head teachers. ,., ., ., , .,' teachers. good morning, geoff. the government— teachers. good morning, geoff. the government has _ teachers. good morning, geoff. the government has talked _ teachers. good morning, geoff. the government has talked about - teachers. good morning, geoff. the government has talked about a - government has talked about a banner. as you see it is this a ban on mobile phones at? i banner. as you see it is this a ban on mobile phones at?— banner. as you see it is this a ban on mobile phones at? i have no idea until i was sent _ on mobile phones at? i have no idea until i was sent the _ on mobile phones at? i have no idea until i was sent the guidance - on mobile phones at? i have no idea until i was sent the guidance last - until i was sent the guidance last night by the bbc i had not seen anything about it. i don't want to be sceptical about things that the number of times i have been wheeled
6:33 am
out to talk to you and nina about another crackdown on mobile phones, its pretty eye watering, really. i was a head teacher for 15 years, it's probably 12 years ago when i was a head teacher and we banned mobile phones. what you havejust outlined with nina is the most important, what does it mean in practice, what schools are already doing. they are not saying, you are not allowed to have a mobile phone because you're a teenager, they are probably saying, you can't your phonein probably saying, you can't your phone in school and if we see it we will confiscate it. that's the way we did it. i think there is a little bit of a sense of deja vu all over again, of a government that wants to seem like it is saying something powerful but could they do it on the things that metal —— matter, funding, special needs? the need to be able to stop crumbling schools? all of those are big issues for parents rather than something about mobile phones in schools yet again. we know that this is a big issue for
6:34 am
parents, they are worried about kids having access to phones all kinds of times especially when they are learning in lessons and i guess the government was my calculation is that this is something that matters to mums and dads so they want to be seen to be doing something. the? seen to be doing something. they want to seem _ seen to be doing something. they want to seem to _ seen to be doing something. they want to seem to be _ seen to be doing something. tie: want to seem to be doing something, your phrase, all kinds of times, thatis your phrase, all kinds of times, that is the most important thing. largely what we have got and the press release says this is schools that have already one way or another got the ability to say to young people, the phone is something that you might want to have all your parents might want to have but you cannot use it in school. there are all kinds of ways that schools can do that. more important for parents is, how do i navigate this complicated world without my child having this phone at other times in school? when do they say that it should be switched off? at what age should be switched off? at what age should children be given a phone at the first place? that is the most interesting and challenging territory and because it is more
6:35 am
interesting, it does not give way to a breathy press release on the kind of thing we have got today. particularly in the light of recent circumstances, the more we get big tech companies to take their part and their responsibility, the better. . . and their responsibility, the better. , , ., . ., better. this is guidance at the moment. _ better. this is guidance at the moment. are _ better. this is guidance at the moment, are you _ better. this is guidance at the moment, are you saying - better. this is guidance at the moment, are you saying that| better. this is guidance at the i moment, are you saying that the government needs to go further, that it needs to enforce the law, change the law, and it's really going to crack down on a phone use in schools? i crack down on a phone use in schools?— crack down on a phone use in schools? , , �* ., schools? i guess i'm saying two thins. i schools? i guess i'm saying two things. ithink— schools? i guess i'm saying two things. i think i'm _ schools? i guess i'm saying two things. i think i'm saying - schools? i guess i'm saying two things. i think i'm saying first . schools? i guess i'm saying two | things. i think i'm saying first of all that the vast majority of schools and colleges will already be enforcing one way or another the sense that if you are a youngster when you are in school, we don't see your phone or they will be consequences. there are different ways of doing that. when i was ahead with 1600 young people, it probably would not have even been feasible to have all of them queueing up to hand a phone in or put them in a locker so that isn't how we did it. we did it through saying that there would
6:36 am
be consequences and if we saw the phone we were confiscated. there are logistical issues but i don't think we need new guidance. the second issue is, there are issues around this. the guidance is helpful if you are a parent and your child is in school this weekend the school confiscate your child's phone because they had their phone out, the guidance says that the child should not have had their phone out. it's probably useful to set down a marker around i'm also saying that the bigger issue is why do young people have access to things they should not have access to, and where is the government putting the pressure on big tech companies for them to step up so they cannot have access to those things in the first place? that is the bigger and more important argument to me. we heard from esther — important argument to me. we heard from esther ghey _ important argument to me. we heard from esther ghey here _ important argument to me. we heard from esther ghey here on _ important argument to me. we heard from esther ghey here on breakfast i from esther ghey here on breakfast last week, the mother of brianna ghey who was tragically murdered,
6:37 am

6:40 am
scoring again, for a sixth game in a row, two goals for him. and whilst luton pulled one back, a late ross barkley header almost claimed a vital point for luton. we have to stay focused during the whole game. when you switch off, and i will not even say switch off but do a little bit less, then you get punished. and we can't afford this. so we have to be the whole time 100% focused, do yourjob, work together, in and out of possession, then you can control the game because otherwise you give what could have been an easy win, now it was a difficult win. we created chances, we found our way back in the game, 2—1 at half—time i really felt that we could go and notjust get something from it, go and win it. but we didn't. and it's not from lack of effort, it's not from a lack of endeavour from the players, it was just that little bit of quality was missing today. so united heading in one direction, sheffield united only looking down.
6:41 am
they had a player sent off after against brighton, who they lost to 5—0. simon adingra scoring twice as brighton piled on the misery for chris wilder's side, who remain bottom and have conceded more goals than any other side at this stage of a premier league season. we've been saying how we've got a title race on in the scottish premiership. rangers out in front now though, two points clear at the top after beating stjohnstone 3—0. two james tavernier penalties put the icing on the cake after this goalfrom mohamed diomande in the first half. so rangers go top with 12 games left, but manager phillipe clement isn't getting carried away. it was the worst english test defeat in terms of runs since 193a, but captain ben stokes says they won't change their style, just execute it better. they slumped to a huge 434 run defeat — only a loss to australia
6:42 am
before the second world war was by a bigger margin in terms of runs. and it's led to questions about their aggresive style of play as they went 2—1 down in the series with two tests to play, but stokes rejected the notion they need to change their tactics. i don't think we need to temper anything. i think we just need to look at our execution on some of the shots throughout this week. was it how we executed the shots that led to our downfall? and i think a lot of us would say, ijust did not execute what i wanted to do as well as i wanted. britain's alfie hewett has won the rotterdam open men's wheelchair tennis final for a fifth consecutive time. it came after seeing off belgian sixth seed joachim gerard in straight sets. he moved to within one tournament win of 60 international singles titles acrossjunior and senior competitions. great britain'sjemma reekie posted the second fastest indoor 800 metres time this year, as she won the uk championship. she raced away from the field
6:43 am
on the final lap in birmingham, putting in arguably the performance of the weekend to take the gold medal. it means she's in good form going into the world championships which take place in glasgow on the first weekend of march. and scotland's laura muir must also be looking forward to performing in front of another home crowd at the world indoors. the scot dominated the women's 3000 metres to take the uk national title for the third time in her career. that bodes well, it is going to be a big summer of sport ahead not least at least with the olympics in the offing. now back tojon. can you help this man find out who he really is? tony woodcock made his name in football as a fast—paced striker playing for nottingham forest and england. in 1979, he went on to win the european cup with nottingham forest, his hometown club. he also represented fc koln
6:44 am
in germany, signed for arsenal and played in the 1982 world cup for england. tony retired in 1990, and now at the age of 68 he's discovered that his dad isn't his biological father. so, tony is searching to find his real dad and believes the truth lies somewhere in the east midlands. by all accounts, he knew i was born. he must have known my surname or what my surname was going to be. so there's always that thought process that, yes, did he follow football? was he a football fan? he knew my name. did he follow my so—called successes in football or not? and it's well worked in by woodcock, all on his own and he had the shot.
6:45 am
tony woodcock was once a king amongst men for what he did with forest, arsenal and england. now he's enlisting the help of people who discovered an actual king to help find his long lost father. woodcock will try and claim the opening goal now because then he would have a hat trick. hello! hello, oh, my goodness, it's so lovely to met you. nice to meet you face to face. good to see you. come on in. 0k. that's where i'm zooming in on, north east birmingham, yeah? yeah, and it's really, so if you look at your percentage that you've got, it's really, really high. well, she's the best in the business as far as i'm concerned. that's the reason i got in touch with her. so i said, well, we've got certain tidbits of information, we know the name, we know where he worked, we know roughly he came in from poland. we think he was in the war. he was studying to be
6:46 am
a doctor in the early years. you know, this is not a rushjob that's got to be done next week, it may take a few years, but it's important. it's important for my family that we know where i come from. he knows bits and pieces like his biological father was named peter. he was the head dyer at gilt brook. so we know a little bit about where he worked. we've gotten in touch with them. do they have any records? does anybody remember peter? and if anybody does, if they'd be willing to come forward and chat to us and hopefully do a dna test, then hopefully that can lead us to help tony to find out who his dad was. back in eastwood, where tony was born in 1955, he only has snippets of information and a distant memory to cling to. my mother had a friendship with a gentleman, and things were a little bit difficult all those years ago. you couldn'tjust think, i'm moving on.
6:47 am
once i was taken by my mother over to the dye house and by all accounts, the gentleman in the dye house, the head dyer, is my biological father. didn't know at the time, obviously. didn't know for many, many years after, obviously. but it's quite significant that i was taken there once and once only. ijust think it's so incredibly important for people to be able to find out where they're from. i think it's a bit of a right. dna tests have been taken. but i still need the people in the east midlands, their help. whether you come from eastwood, langley mill, kimberley, the outskirts of nottingham, start looking deep into your memories and see if you can come up with any sort of information of what we've been chatting about. i need your help. best of luck. get in touch with the bbc if anyone's got the slightest piece of information.

let's hope somebody out there has some information because he would really love that. carol is here with the weather, a lovely picture behind you, carol? isn't it? a lot of people will have a lot of people similar in terms of the sky. todayit people similar in terms of the sky. today it is cloudy for many, a weakening band of rain seeking sales, then it will be mild for the time of year. the weak weather front is pushing away from the south east, sunny spells behind but also scattered showers across parts of scotland, northern england into northern ireland, and it will be breezy. again for the midlands into wales, parts of east anglia will brighten up through the morning, in the south—west, you can see where we have got the cloud and rain are pulling away. more high cloud into the west through the afternoon so the west through the afternoon so the sunshine for you will be hazy
6:50 am
and then later the cloud thickens up across the north west and we will see some rain arrive and the wind will strengthen. temperatures eight in the north to 1a in the south. down a little bit from yesterday. this evening and overnight, the band of rain pushes east across scotland, and another weather front comes in introducing more cloud, some rain and strengthening winds. quite misty and strengthening winds. quite misty and murky around the coast and the hills in the west but clearer skies in the east where it will be colder. tomorrow a band of rain pushing slowly south, ahead of it a bit of cloud around, some brighter breaks and behind it we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers with highs up to 1a degrees. thank you. subscriptions, millions of us have them and they're an increasingly—common part of our monthly budgets. but what happens if there are changes to the price we agreed to when we signed up?
6:51 am
especially if we don't seem to be getting anything more for our money. like customers of ring door bells, who pay £34.99 a year per device to access a service which allows them to store footage online, download clips and get discounted products. but earlier this month, amazon, who own ring, announced that their prices would be changing to £49.99 per year, an increase of 43%, and customers weren't happy. at the time, amazon said that since ring launched in 2015 they had "regularly found ways to enhance the plan to give our customers more value." but it's notjust ring door bells, take streaming services like netflix who announced last october that monthly charges for its basic service would rise by £1 to £7.99 and the premium option will increase by £2 to £17.99. these are both increases
6:52 am
of more than ten percent. music streaming giant spotify also announced last year that in the uk, subscriptions will rise by £1 a month to £10.99 for an individual plan and to £14.99 for a premium duo plan. at the time, spotify said it was raising prices "to help continue to deliver value to fans and artists on our platform". there are plenty of other examples so what can we do if we sign up to something and then the price changes? consumer law expert lisa webb from which joins us now to tell us more about our rights. we to tell us more about our rights. say, what can we providing we say, what can we do, they are providing the service, they are setting the price, is there anything at all we can do?— at all we can do? absolutely there is. a lot at all we can do? absolutely there is- a lot of— at all we can do? absolutely there is. a lot of the _ at all we can do? absolutely there is. a lot of the time _ at all we can do? absolutely there is. a lot of the time it _ at all we can do? absolutely there is. a lot of the time it will - at all we can do? absolutely there is. a lot of the time it will depend | is. a lot of the time it will depend on your— is. a lot of the time it will depend on your terms and conditions, the contract _ on your terms and conditions, the contract you — on your terms and conditions, the contract you agreed to when you signed _ contract you agreed to when you signed up — contract you agreed to when you signed up to it. very often these subscriptions you are talking about

good morning. serial rapist david carrick has been stripped of his state—funded metropolitan police pension. the former officer was jailed last year after admitting dozens of sexual offences against 12 women. the mayor's office said it was removing all employer contributions to his pension — which is the maximum they can do — under the current law. in terms of the overall rules around gross misconduct, we have lobbied very hard to the government to make it quicker and easier for any police force, obviously in this case the metropolitan police force, to get rid of people and if we think it should be getting rid of, you know, take people's pensions away should be easier if it's damaging the trust heathrow airport is aiming to have new security scanners in all terminals by summer, which will end the restrictions on liquids in hand luggage. there was a deadline to bring

6:58 am
now onto the weather with kawser. hello, and a very good morning to you. it's a cloudy start to the day and there's some outbreaks of patchy rain in places but that will clear and it becomes drier and brighter as the day progresses. it's a weak weather front that's bringing that rain and drizzle for a time, cloudy and damp weather clearing to allow much more in the way of drier and brighter weather, some spells of sunshine although it will be hazy at times and temperatures reaching around 12 to 14 celsius with the breeze. into the evening, dry, clear skies, some patches of cloud around as well. and temperatures overnight will dip to around 4—7 celsius and for tuesday it should be largely dry. there will be quite a lot of cloud around, though, but we have this waving weather front that will arrive later for wednesday bringing some wet and windy weather for a time, quite unsettled conditions. it will stay mild for the time being so temperatures for the next few days still 12 to 14 celsius. after the rain on wednesday, it stays quite unsettled for thursday as well but temperatures gradually back to around average
6:59 am
for the time of year. that's it from me, but take a look at our website, you may have seen the other day that parts of the london overground have been given names. there's a piece that explains just what goes in to doing that. but for now back to nina and jon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our headlines today... new guidance on restricting the use of mobile phones in schools. but some headteachers say it will make no difference. when i go into school on monday, this isn't going to be on the top of my to do list. finding the next maths teacher, the next science teacher will be, balancing my next budget, where school funding has not kept up with inflation. that's on my to do list. a nottinghamshire police officer is disciplined for sharing what are described as "crude and distasteful" text messages about the killing of two students

7:01 am
have their own restrictions in place and there are questions over how much difference this new advice will make. yunus mulla reports. i need that one too. good friends and in the first year of high school. but with year seven, there's also more time on their mobiles and screen time away from home. i can't find my friends at school because we normally have different... sometimes we have different lessons. sometimes i need to contact my parents. perhaps no surprise to find talk of taking those devices away during school hours hasn't gone down well. like when you're trying to learn, it can be distracting. but like, i don't really see the harm at, like, lunchtime or break. i think it would, like, take away your freedom when you needed to call your parents or talk about something you don't know how to talk to a teacher about. for parent olivia, her daughter having a mobile away from home is reassuring. and although the school has a strict
7:02 am
policy, there are concerns. outside influences, i guess, sort of having access to the internet — that worries me and that she's not concentrating at school. and again, bullying is probably the biggest thing for me. according to government data, almost a third of secondary school pupils said mobile phones were being used without permission. one survey found 44% of primary school parents are concerned about the time their children spend on electronic devices. that figure increases to half of all parents in secondary schools. many schools already have restrictions in place when it comes to using mobiles in classrooms and on school premises. the guidance is aiming to make that approach consistent across all schools and they will be supported. in recent weeks, the mother of brianna ghey has called for tougher regulations on the use of social media. her daughter's killers had accessed and watched harmful and extremely violent material on their phones.
7:03 am
i would like to see the law changed, so that children only have access to children's mobile phones. that could look exactly the same as an adult�*s mobile phone, but without the ability to download social media apps. year six is kind of the prime... you know, they're that little bit older, it's that transition to secondary school. tony guise is currently the longest serving secondary school headteacher in calderdale, west yorkshire. he doesn't know of a single headteacher, who hasn't already taken action. the problem isn't the phones. the problem is what's on the phones. it's the social media and access to social media on the phones that is causing the issue. isn't it a sign that government is making this a priority for you? when i go into school on monday, this isn't going to be on the top of my to do list. finding the next maths teacher, the next science teacher will be. balancing my next budget where school funding has not kept up with inflation. that's on my to do list. wondering which bit of the roof was blown off in the storm
7:04 am
or which leaks i'm going to have to patch because of the rain — that'll be on my to do list. but actually we implemented a mobile phone policy a long time ago. the move is being seen as bringing england in line with other countries, including france and italy. but some will question if it is too little too late. yunus mulla, bbc news. something most parents will have a view on this morning. we will be putting some of those issues to the education secretary at half past seven. now for some of the other stories today. two police officers have been disciplined in connection with a whatsapp message, relating to the fatal knife attacks on three people in nottingham lastjune. the force described the texts as "crude and distasteful". aruna iyengar has more. the two 19—year—old students, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and school caretaker ian coates were stabbed to death by valdo calocane in june last year. there was disbelief
7:05 am
from their relatives when calocane received a sentence of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. the deaths shocked the country and united a city. now, the families have found out officers in nottinghamshire police shared an inappropriate whatsapp message about the killings in the days after the incident. this was also shared with people outside the police force. last night, nottinghamshire police defended themselves, saying they took immediate action when they found out about the message. a disciplinary hearing was held injanuary, but they admitted that some of the words in the message were crude and distasteful, adding that all officers have been reminded of the appropriate use of whatsapp as a result of this misconduct hearing. one officer is being dealt with in what's described as a management intervention. another has been given a final warning. the mother of barnaby webber, emma, said it was an abhorrent way to conduct an investigation and said the families hadn't been made aware
7:06 am
of this data breach. she's previously criticised the police investigation and spoke about her concerns to breakfast last month. it's also the failings of the police to investigate and act accordingly up to the attacks and also the investigation of the case we've got real concerns about, and the way that we've we've been managed by the cps. nottinghamshire police say no other officers were found guilty of misconduct. the families of the three victims are calling for a public inquiry into the handling of the case. aruna iyengar, bbc news. a 42—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after three children were found dead at a property in bristol. our reporter fiona lamdin is there for us this morning. fiona, what more do we know?

7:09 am
to broker some kind of temporary ceasefire and secure the release of those hostages have set themselves over the weekend the prospects do not look good at all. both sides completely reject each other�*s demands. benjamin netanyahu described once again the demands of hamas during the negotiations as delusional. it doesn't look good. if the israelis are serious about this deadline and it is the first time we have had any kind of timescale from them, that means there are just three weeks for israel to publish a plan to make sure that the more than 1 million displaced civilians now stuck in temper macro can be moved out of harm's way. israel has promised that will be something they will do, those civilians will be allowed to move. there is no plan as yet. that has led to international concern. the us and aid agencies

7:20 am
there are 7.6 million people on the nhs waiting list in england but the true scale of the backlog is likely to be much higher. that's because a significant number of people are stuck on so called hidden waiting lists, where they have started treatment but are still waiting for vital ongoing care, for conditions such as cancer, heart failure and eye disease. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. rigby! come on, sit. good boy. margaret is living with the knowledge she has skin cancer and yet has not had any treatment for years. good boy! she was diagnosed and referred to see a specialist, but then nothing. the waiting has taken a toll. you can hit really low spots. i think my kids and my grandchildren, my husband as well, they're what keep me going because i think i would have
7:21 am
given up before now. you think, i can't do it any more. every month we report on the latest waiting times for non—urgent treatment in the nhs in england. currently that figure is around 7.6 million people. but once you've been referred to a specialist, you're no longer counted on that main nhs waiting list. and you could end up like margaret, one of potentially tens of thousands of people who are waiting for follow—up treatment. now that could be things like physiotherapy, cancer checks, regular treatment to help preserve eyesight, even surgery. it's not known exactly how many people are facing delays on these hidden waiting lists, as nhs england doesn't collect the figures. every month around 1.4 million people are taken off the national waiting list because they've started treatment. we contacted 30 of the biggest hospital trusts in england, around a quarter of the total, to ask whether they keep a check on that backlog of delayed care. but only three trusts could provide
7:22 am
us with data showing they were recording the number of patients affected. there are patients who might have chronic conditions, which could, if they were left untreated, deteriorate further. so, for example, patients with certain kinds of eye diseases where they might lose their sight. it's very difficult to get an idea of the number of patients who are waiting for overdue appointments. it's not quite clear which hospitals record it and which ones don't. so really we have no idea. but i would guess that it's in the millions. a spokesman for nhs england says there's clear guidance that if a treatment becomes overdue and a patient is left waiting, they should be added back onto the waiting list and would then be included in the nationalfigures. when she had a stroke a few years ago, margaret experienced the very best of the nhs's emergency care. but now waiting months for treatment, she feels trapped and anxious.
7:23 am
the emergency services are great, but anything else? i'm terrified. you know, it's one of those things now, when something else goes wrong. when you're young and healthy, you don't think about these things, but when things start going wrong, it is frightening. dominic hughes, bbc news. we're joined now by our health correspondent, dominic hughes. morning. it must be really frightening for people like margaret, and shopping they are not among the 7.6 million we hear about on the news. you among the 7.6 million we hear about on the news-— on the news. you heard margaret. it is very frightening _ on the news. you heard margaret. it is very frightening and _ on the news. you heard margaret. it is very frightening and distressing i is very frightening and distressing when you are waiting, waiting, waiting for treatment. the 7.6 million new referred to, they are waiting to be referred for treatment. when you start treatment, you drop off that list. we are

7:28 am
obviously in this case the metropolitan police force, to get rid of people and if we think it should be getting rid of, you know, take people's pensions away should be easier if it's damaging the trust and confidence of communities. heathrow airport is aiming to have new security scanners in all terminals by summer, which will end the restrictions on liquids in hand luggage. there was a deadline to bring in the technology by 2022, but the date was then moved tojune this year. it means passengers soon won't have to put toiletries into see through plastic bags. councils will have greater power to control short—term lets with the aim of helping to regulate the market and the supply of local housing. the new law will mean anyone letting out their property as a holiday home will need to get permission from the local authority although the rules won't apply to those renting their home for 90 days a year or less.

new designs in the running for the next fourth plinth are being revealed today. the huge commission in trafalgar square is now in its 25th year. previous works include a dollop of cream with a cherry on top, a bright blue cockerel and a ship in a bottle. let's take a look at the tubes now and there's a good service on all lines this morning apart from minor delays on the central line. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, and a very good morning to you. it's a cloudy start to the day and there's some outbreaks of patchy rain in places but that will clear and it becomes drier and brighter as the day progresses. it's a weak weather front that's bringing that rain and drizzle for a time, cloudy and damp weather clearing to allow much more in the way of drier and brighter weather, some spells of sunshine although it will be hazy at times and temperatures reaching around 12 to m celsius with the breeze. into the evening, dry, clear skies, some patches of cloud around as well. and temperatures overnight will dip to around 4—7 celsius
7:30 am
and for tuesday it should be largely dry. there will be quite a lot of cloud around, though, but we have this waving weather front that will arrive later for wednesday bringing some wet and windy weather for a time, quite unsettled conditions. it will stay mild for the time being so temperatures for the next few days still 12 to 1a celsius. after the rain on wednesday, it stays quite unsettled for thursday as well but temperatures gradually back to around average for the time of year. that's it from me, but take a look at our website, you may have seen the other day that parts of the london overground have been given names. there's a piece that explains just what goes in to doing that. more than you think. but for now back to nina and jon. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay.
7:31 am
john has been celeb spotting. yes, we are talking united but there was a celebrity in the crowd. this is heading _ was a celebrity in the crowd. this is heading in _ was a celebrity in the crowd. this is heading in one _ was a celebrity in the crowd. ms is heading in one direction! was a celebrity in the crowd. this is heading in one direction! very| is heading in one direction! very aood. yes, look who popped up at kenilworth road. harry styles is known for being a unietd fan, he's appeared on stage in a united kit before. did he like what he saw? it was a case of �*as it was' for united, winning again, rasmus hojlund scoring again. two goals in seven minutes as styles watched him take centre stage. and there was almost a twist as luton went close late on, but united held on for a 2—1win. we have to stay focused during the whole game. when you switch off, and i will not even say switch off but do a little bit less, then you get punished.
7:32 am
and we can't afford this. so we have to be the whole time 100% focused, do yourjob, work together, in and out of possession, then you can control the game because otherwise you give what could have been an easy win, now it was a difficult win. so united heading in one direction, sheffield united the other. they had a player sent off against brighton, losing 5—0. simon adingra scored twice, brighton piled on the misery for chris wilder's side, who remain bottom and have conceded more goals than any other side at this stage of a premier league season. we've been saying how we've got a title race on in the scottish premiership. rangers out in front now though, two points clear at the top after beating stjohnstone 3—0. two james tavernier penalties put the icing on the cake after this goalfrom mohamed diomande in the first half. so rangers go top with 12 games left, the england striker harry kane is in danger of seeing his season
7:33 am
at bayern munich peter out. they lost a third straight game in all competitions. they're now eight points behind leaders bayer after losing to bochum yesterday. bochum went three one up. kane did eventually score but it was too little too late. it was the worst english test defeat in terms of runs since 193a, but captain ben stokes says they won't change their style, just execute it better. they slumped to a huge 434 run defeat — only a loss to australia before the second world war was by a bigger margin in terms of runs. and it's led to questions about their aggresive style of play as they went 2—1 down in the series with two tests to play, but stokes rejected the notion they need to change their tactics. you can obviously see the difference between the two teams about how they
7:34 am
play, their approaches to playing out in india. the last two games, india have put runs on the board in the way in which they want to operate. we have been able to do it at times, we havejust operate. we have been able to do it at times, we have just not been able to sustain it as long as what we wanted to. great britain ended the world aquatics championships with 18 medals in total, four of them gold. the final one in doha was provided by freya colbert who took the world title in the 400 metres individual medley. that came after max litchfield took silver in the men's final. really good performances there. and thatis really good performances there. and that is also me for now, back to you guys. thank you, john. we've been talking this morning about new government guidance that's been issued to headteachers in england, aimed at stopping children from using mobile phones in schools. although the advice has been welcomed by some there are questions over how much of a difference the guidance will make. earlier, geoff barton
7:35 am
from the association of school and college leaders told breakfast the government should be focusing on other, more urgent, situations facing schools. i think there is a little bit of a sense of deja vu all over again, of a government that wants to seem like it is saying something powerful but if it wants to seem like it is saying something powerful, could they do it on the things that matter, funding, special needs? the need to be able to stop crumbling schools? all of those are big issues for parents rather than something about mobile phones in schools yet again. we can speak now to the education secretary, gillian keegan. good morning to you. part of that interview, jeff burton also said 12 years ago he banned mobile phones in his school, what teachers are saying is that this is already happening, what will change today? we is that this is already happening, what will change today? we think it is happening _ what will change today? we think it is happening in _ what will change today? we think it is happening in about _ what will change today? we think it is happening in about half- what will change today? we think it is happening in about half of- what will change today? we think it is happening in about half of our. is happening in about half of our schools, may be a little over half. it's not consistent. so some schools
7:36 am
allow the use of phones during break times or lunchtimes, some have an outright ban. what we really want to do is have consistency, to reset the social norm that mobile phones, there is no place for them in our schools. all the way through the schools. all the way through the school day. so that is something that many head teachers, we spoke to them before issuing this guidance, and asked whether it was going to be useful or not and they said it absolutely would, it would empower them with the parents and conversations with parents and conversations with parents and conversations with parents and conversations with children as well. it would also ensure consistency. one thing you do not have to are many parents know this and worry about this is consistency across schools. �* ., , �* ., ~ schools. and if it doesn't work, if a near 5096 _ schools. and if it doesn't work, if a near 5096 of — schools. and if it doesn't work, if a near 5096 of schools _ schools. and if it doesn't work, if a near 5096 of schools are - schools. and if it doesn't work, if a near 5096 of schools are still i schools. and if it doesn't work, if| a near 5096 of schools are still not a near 50% of schools are still not enforcing guidance, would you go further with legislation, and how would that look? we further with legislation, and how would that look?— further with legislation, and how would that look? we would consider what more needed _ would that look? we would consider what more needed to _ would that look? we would consider what more needed to be _ would that look? we would consider what more needed to be done - would that look? we would consider what more needed to be done if- would that look? we would consider what more needed to be done if it i what more needed to be done if it didn't work. i'm very hopeful that it would work. because i think most
7:37 am
schools want this, they can see now the impact on mobile phone use in schools on our children. they can see destruction and bullying being amplified, people spending time with messages or what they are doing, a quarter or more of that in schools say there are surreptitious use in classrooms. we need to reset the social gnome and make sure we empower head teachers to make sure that headphones are not in use in the schools. i think to be honest —— that phones are not in use in schools. i think we'll see this being successful, because where it is successful we have seen an improvement in behaviour, performance and the improvement in school culture is tangible so i think many head teachers want to do this and this helps empower them to do it. we are not the first country
7:38 am
in the world, others have done this but what we wanted to do is be consistent and ensure consistency across our schools and reset the central norm. i across our schools and reset the central norm.— across our schools and reset the central norm. ~ .,, w , central norm. i think most teachers and parents — central norm. i think most teachers and parents would _ central norm. i think most teachers and parents would say _ central norm. i think most teachers and parents would say that - central norm. i think most teachers and parents would say that we - central norm. i think most teachers | and parents would say that we would aspire to a reset of the social norm that head teachers say that this is at the bottom of their list, it is things like shortages, paying the wage bill, crumbling buildings, so the expectation they would have the resources to enforce this guidance to remove mobile phones for example is unrealistic. we to remove mobile phones for example is unrealistic-— is unrealistic. we are funding our schools at _ is unrealistic. we are funding our schools at the _ is unrealistic. we are funding our schools at the highest _ is unrealistic. we are funding our schools at the highest in - is unrealistic. we are funding our schools at the highest in our- schools at the highest in our history at £60 billion per year. no matter which way you look at it, real terms per pupil and with inflation, that is the highest we have funded our schools. we are doing other things to make sure we improve educational standards so our
7:39 am
children are now fourth in the world for reading. when we introduced phonics that led to that many unions said that was a distraction but we beg to disagree, it has had a great impact on improvements for children. we have delivered many of the guidances that head teachers are looking for. recruitment and retention, we have a recruitment and retention, we have a recruitment and retention strategy, we are working on taking more hours out, we have a workforce reduction task force, we are working on many things at once to improve standards of behaviour in our schools and outcomes in our schools and this is just one piece. in terms of schools, we have identified the raac issue, 1% of our schools have it and we have announced the plan to remove raac from those schools so we are getting on with delivering all of these

things in the same time. this is something i announced i would do in october, and i think it is time to reset the social norm. i think parents are worried about phone use in under 16, parents are worried about phone use in under16, and parents are worried about phone use in under 16, and school is one place where we can say it is not acceptable to have your phone in school, look up from the phone and talk to your classmates and start to build those vital relationships that take you all the way through your life. i met my best friend when i was ten, i might not have seen that if i had been scrawling on my phone all day. as if i had been scrawling on my phone all da . �* ., ., if i had been scrawling on my phone allda. ., ., , if i had been scrawling on my phone allda .�* ., ., , ., all day. a lot of people might argue it is not the — all day. a lot of people might argue it is not the phones _ all day. a lot of people might argue it is not the phones in _ all day. a lot of people might argue it is not the phones in and - all day. a lot of people might argue it is not the phones in and of- it is not the phones in and of themselves, it is what children and young people are looking at them. esther three ghey —— s 23 saying that phones should be different for young people. —— esther ghey. we
7:41 am
young people. -- esther ghey. we need to young people. —— esther ghey. , need to help parents have that conversation. the reality is that we can buy phones with all of those apps disabled, you can buy those today but there is often peer pressure amongst children and amongst other parents as well. this starts to change the conversation which is, you are not allowed your phonein which is, you are not allowed your phone in school, so how do you have that conversation about what you do outside of school, we can help with those discussions as well. but of course esther ghey has called for us to go further, this is a step we can take in schools to help that conversation, we have the online safety act as well that we really ma ke safety act as well that we really make sure that a lot of the things that were prevalent in that case which was dreadful, we can make sure that that content is simply not there and not appropriate for children, so those things will not be on their phones.— children, so those things will not be on their phones. teachers and arents be on their phones. teachers and parents don't _ be on their phones. teachers and parents don't think _ be on their phones. teachers and parents don't think the _ be on their phones. teachers and l parents don't think the government is doing enough of these apps. jeff

barton spoke about feeling powerless, saying there was a lack of urgency from the government, a teacher this morning saying, we don't like the phones in the classroom but it is what they are seeing which is more of an issue than the destruction themselves. if you don't have a phone in the classroom you won't see anything. the impact of what they see is being brought into the classroom. the first thing is _ brought into the classroom. the first thing is to _ brought into the classroom. ila: first thing is to make sure brought into the classroom. i12 first thing is to make sure that they don't have the phone in the classroom. in terms of the online safety act, that has been passed now and that will start to be implemented. there was a lead up to a number of areas of guidance that will be sent out and the number of things that will be implemented. you may not have seen all of the impacts of that, it is a relatively new act but it is world leading in terms of taking on this issue and trying to resolve notjust taking on this issue and trying to resolve not just the taking on this issue and trying to resolve notjust the content but also, after today, the use of mobile phones in schools. and this is changing the conversation, and it is a conversation that we need because
7:43 am
very parents many parents are worried sick about what their children are looking at on their phones. there will be improvement as a result of both the online safety act and this policy. i a result of both the online safety act and this policy.— act and this policy. i know that a lot of parents — act and this policy. i know that a lot of parents talk _ act and this policy. i know that a lot of parents talk about - act and this policy. i know that a lot of parents talk about this - lot of parents talk about this ironically on their whatsapp groups. give your time this morning. —— thank you for your time this morning. the story of the d—day landings has been immortalised around the world in films, tv programmes and books, and now an army of volunteers are hoping to knit their way into history. are crocheting different scenes from the invasion to commemorate its 80th anniversary. our reporterjohn maguire has been chatting to some of them. we're well used to seeing wars commemorated in bronze and in stone, but not perhaps in wool and yarn. it all started with these, postbox toppers knitted or crocheted for major royal,
7:44 am
sporting or national events. so for a brit living in northern france, the idea to mark 80 years since d—day took shape. and i thought, why don't i do a topper for my garden gate for the 80th anniversary? and then i mentioned it to someone and they said, "what a great idea." and then we decided, we'll do my front wall. and then itjust sort of like suddenly got bigger and it suddenly went along the lines of the bayeaux tapestry and ended up as 80 metres representing 80 years and the 80 days of the normandy battle before they got through to paris. so that's in a nutshell how it all started. but she needed an army of volunteers which, after seeing her idea online, all signed up to help. among them, diana and jenny, old school friends who've reconnected in recent years and are sharing the workload on two panels. it's work that's taken more than 800 hours so far.
7:45 am
this scene depicts a real soldier, harry kulkowitz, and his signals unit listening in to german army phone calls after landing on d—day. they're intercepting. they're attaching another wire that's going to be hooked up to the radio. and then harry's listening in to try and hear what the germans are saying. they've been inspired by the creative challenge, but also their own family stories. my father—in—law was in the tank corps. i picked the the tank panel in memory of him. i mean, he survived the war, but obviously has now died. and, you know, it's very close to my heart. my husband's grandfather and uncle were killed in the australian army in the war in asia. so in fact you feel again, we shouldn't forget. so it was quite a good way of keeping people's memories alive. the detail is painstaking.
7:46 am
in the original first panel we did was british soldiers and we'd done about 40 of these soldiers and we'd put them all in brown boots. and then we discovered through the historian who's with us that actually they should have all been black. so then we had to go round and change all the black boots. so a bit of a pain! many of the 80 scenes are derived from the war movie the longest day. so this project is called the longest yarn. like the invasion force, the knitters come from all over the world. robin is in virginia in the us and her panel is also based on a real person. his name is corporal waverly woodson. he was wounded coming into omaha beach, and he was one of the only all african american battalion to come ashore early on omaha beach. i wanted to represent him and i am. reid is an american living in germany and chose to depict
7:47 am
the massive logistical effort behind the allied invasion. again, influenced by a family story. my grandfather was involved in the european theatre, but he was down in the persian gulf. he worked with supply lines, so doing all of the ships getting loaded up felt like kind of a cool project. and so with a little more research and suggestions from other people in the group, i've actually learned a ton of history about the events just from other people in the group. the eighty panels will be dismantled, then reassembled and stitched together in normandy. tansey is hoping for more help with the logistics. the finished work will go on display in may and a large church in carentan, the scene of a fierce battle in 1944. so give me an idea of how long that would take to make. well, probably about three days, sort of doing it probably six hours a day. just a little thing like that.
7:48 am
at her home in dorset, lynn's creating large items that will decorate the french town's shops and businesses. i've learnt so much about history and all sorts since i've been doing this and also my grandchildren come in and they say to me, "oh, nanny, what's that?" and they're learning so much. a learning curve for all of us because we never want it forgotten. in the autumn, the longest yarn may then come to the uk and there's been interest from the united states. but this labour of love telling the extraordinary story of d—day will first see the light of day, the longest day, in normandy. john maguire, bbc news. a good team effort. a global team effort. we will— a good team effort. a global team effort. we will see _ a good team effort. a global team effort. we will see that _ a good team effort. a global team effort. we will see that as - a good team effort. a global team effort. we will see that as it - a good team effort. a global team | effort. we will see that as it comes to fruition in the weeks ahead. we've got a remarkable story for you now about an incredible

couple and a dog called cola. john and gill daley retired and moved to thailand to set up a dog rescue charity. but a year after they arrived, gill contracted a viral infection while carrying out a rescue, which led her to have a double leg amputation. 12 years later she met a rescue dog who had also lost both his legs, after suffering terrible abuse and the pair struck up an incredible bond. so cola could live life to the fullest, the couple had prosthetics made for him so he could do everything other dogs could do. but now living back here in the uk, cola's first set of legs have become worn, but soon he will get a brand new pair. cola and john are here with us now. good morning to both of you. good

heathrow airport is aiming to have new security scanners in all terminals by the summer. there was a deadline to bring in the technology by 2022, but the date was then moved tojune this year. it means passengers soon won't have to put toiletries into see—through plastic bags. new designs that are in the running for the next fourth plinth in traflagar square are being revealed today. previous works include a dollop of cream with a cherry on top, a bright blue cockerel and a ship in a bottle. now for the travel. let's take a look at the tubes now. and there's a good service on most lines this morning apart from severe delays on the piccadilly line and minor on the central line. and the weather today will see cloudy skies bringing some rain in places but then it will be drier and brighter this afternoon. top temperature 14c. ok, that's it from me, but take a look at our website. you may have seen the other day that parts of the london overground

have been given names. there's a piece that explains just what goes in to doing that. but for now back to nina and jon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our headlines today... new guidance on restricting the use of mobile phones in schools. but some headteachers say it will make no difference. when i go into school on monday, this isn't going to be on the top of my to do list. finding the next maths teacher, the next science teacher will be, balancing my next budget, where school funding has not kept up with inflation — that's on my to do list. a nottinghamshire police officer is disciplined for sharing what are described as "crude and distasteful" text messages about the killing of two students and a school caretaker.

the conjoined twins, expected to survive for just a few days — now seven years old — living with their dad in cardiff. in sport... harry styles brings the stardust... ..rasmus hojlund the goals. it's as it was for manchester united against luton. good morning. a weakening band of rain pushing south and east. behind it a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. still mild for the time of year. all of the details later on in the programme. it's monday, the 19th of february. our main story. headteachers in england have been given government guidance on how to stop children from using mobile phones in schools. ministers had already committed to introducing a ban last year but many schools already have their own restrictions in place and there are questions over how much difference this new advice will make. yunus mulla reports.
8:03 am
i need that one too. good friends and in the first year of high school. but with year seven, there's also more time on their mobiles and screen time away from home. i can't find my friends at school because we normally have different... sometimes we have different lessons. sometimes i need to contact my parents. perhaps no surprise to find talk of taking those devices away during school hours hasn't gone down well. like when you're trying to learn, it can be distracting. but like, i don't really see the harm at, like, lunchtime or break. i think it would, like, take away your freedom when you needed to call your parents or talk about something you don't know how to talk to a teacher about. for parent olivia, her daughter having a mobile away from home is reassuring. and although the school has a strict policy, there are concerns. outside influences, i guess, sort of having access to the internet —
8:04 am
that worries me and that she's not concentrating at school. and again, bullying is probably the biggest thing for me. according to government data, almost a third of secondary school pupils said mobile phones were being used without permission. one survey found 44% of primary school parents are concerned about the time their children spend on electronic devices. that figure increases to half of all parents in secondary schools. many schools already have restrictions in place when it comes to using mobiles in classrooms and on school premises. the guidance is aiming to make that approach consistent across all schools and they will be supported. in recent weeks, the mother of brianna ghey has called for tougher regulations on the use of social media. her daughter's killers had accessed and watched harmful and extremely violent material on their phones. i would like to see the law changed, so that children only have access
8:05 am
to children's mobile phones. that could look exactly the same as an adult�*s mobile phone, but without the ability to download social media apps. year six is kind of the prime... you know, they're that little bit older, it's that transition to secondary school. tony guise is currently the longest serving secondary school headteacher in calderdale, west yorkshire. he doesn't know of a single headteacher, who hasn't already taken action. the problem isn't the phones. the problem is what's on the phones. it's the social media and access to social media on the phones that is causing the issue. isn't it a sign that government is making this a priority for you? when i go into school on monday, this isn't going to be on the top of my to do list. finding the next maths teacher, the next science teacher will be. balancing my next budget where school funding has not kept up with inflation. that's on my to do list. wondering which hit of the roof has blown off in the storm or which leaks i'm going to have to patch because of the rain — that'll be on my to do list.
8:06 am
but actually we implemented a mobile phone policy a long time ago. the move is being seen as bringing england in line with other countries, including france and italy. but some will question if it is too little too late. yunus mulla, bbc news. something every parent talks about. now a round—up of some of the day's other stories. two police officers have been disciplined in connection with a whatsapp message, relating to the fatal knife attacks on three people in nottingham lastjune. the force described the texts as "crude and distasteful". aruna iyengar has more. the two 19—year—old students, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and school caretaker ian coates were stabbed to death by valdo calocane in june last year. there was disbelief from their relatives when calocane received a sentence of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. the deaths shocked the country and united a city. now, the families have found out
8:07 am
officers in nottinghamshire police shared an inappropriate whatsapp message about the killings in the days after the incident. this was also shared with people outside the police force. last night, nottinghamshire police defended themselves, saying they took immediate action when they found out about the message. a disciplinary hearing was held injanuary, but they admitted that some of the words in the message were crude and distasteful, adding that all officers have been reminded of the appropriate use of whatsapp as a result of this misconduct hearing. one officer is being dealt with in what's described as a management intervention. another has been given a final warning. the mother of barnaby webber, emma, said it was an abhorrent way to conduct an investigation and said the families hadn't been made aware of this data breach. she's previously criticised the police investigation and spoke about her concerns to breakfast last month. it's also the failings of the police
8:08 am
to investigate and act accordingly up to the attacks and also the investigation of the case we've got real concerns about, and the way that we've been managed by the cps. nottinghamshire police say no other officers were found guilty of misconduct. the families of the three victims are calling for a public inquiry into the handling of the case. aruna iyengar, bbc news. a 42—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after three children were found dead at a property in bristol. our reporter fiona lamdin is there for us this morning. it isa it is a distressing story. what we know about what has happened? goad know about what has happened? good morninr. a know about what has happened? good morning- a very _ know about what has happened?

police say the child was with his family when he fell into the water, in the aylestone area of the city yesterday afternoon. the public have been asked to stay away from the area due to rising water levels. a minister in israel's war cabinet has warned that unless hamas frees all hostages held in gaza by ramadan — which starts on 10th march, an offensive will be launched in rafah. it's the first time israel has said when its troops might enter gaza's overcrowded southern city, where some 1.5 million palestinians are sheltering. israeli officials have not given any details of an evacuation plan. supporters of the russian opposition leader alexei navalny — whose death in custody was announced on friday — say the prison authorities are lying and "buying time" by extending the investigation into how he died. mr navalny�*s widow yulia is meeting eu leaders in brussels today — she's calling for president putin to be held responsible. the british medical association

badenoch responded very forcefully on social media by accusing henry staunton of lying. straightout she said he was telling a pack of lies. actually he was sacked because of a claim of misconduct against him and his own decision, she claimed were to block an investigation into the allegation of misconduct. we understand henry staunton stand by what he said. we will get more information from kemi badenoch later on today. this row is not a two dating and the story is not going away. dating and the story is not going awa . . ., ., ., ., away. full coverage throughout the da . the film oppenheimer had a great night at the baftas last night. it won seven awards including best film and director. poor things came away with five awards including leading actress for emma stone. but the biggest grossing movie of last year, barbie, didn't get any love in the end. lots of love from us.

8:30 am
the former officer was jailed last year after admitting dozens of sexual offences against 12 women. the mayor's office said it was removing all employer contributions to his pension which is the maximum they can do under the current law. in terms of the overall rules around gross misconduct, we have lobbied very hard to the government to make it quick and easier for any police force, obviously in this case the metropolitan police force, to get rid of people and if we think it should be getting rid of, you know, take people's pensions away should be easier if it's damaging the trust and confidence of communities. heathrow airport is aiming to have new security scanners in all terminals by summer, which will end the restrictions on liquids in hand luggage. there was a deadline to bring in the technology by 2022, but the date was then moved tojune this year. it means passengers soon won't have to put toiletries into see through plastic bags. councils will have greater power to control short—term lets

8:32 am
it's a weak weather front that's bringing that rain and drizzle for a time, cloudy and damp weather clearing to allow much more in the way of drier and brighter weather, some spells of sunshine although it will be hazy at times and temperatures reaching around 12 to 14 celsius with the breeze. into the evening, dry, clear skies, some patches of cloud around as well. and temperatures overnight will dip to around 4—7 celsius and for tuesday it should be largely dry. there will be quite a lot of cloud around, though, but we have this waving weather front that will arrive later for wednesday bringing some wet and windy weather for a time, quite unsettled conditions. it will stay mild for the time being so temperatures for the next few days still 12 to 14 celsius. after the rain on wednesday, it stays quite unsettled for thursday as well but temperatures gradually back to around average for the time of year. that's it from me, but take a look at our website, you may have seen the other day that parts of the london overground

have been given names. there's a piece that explains just what goes in to doing that. more then you think. but for now back to nina and jon. welcome back. can you help this man find out who he really is? tony woodcock made his name in football as a fast—paced striker playing for nottingham forest and england. in 1979, he went on to win the european cup with nottingham forest, his hometown club. he also represented fc koln in germany, signed for arsenal and played in the 1982 world cup for england. tony retired in 1990, and now at the age of 68 he's discovered that his dad isn't his biological father. so, he's now on a search to find him and believes the truth lies somewhere in the east midlands.
8:34 am
by all accounts, he knew i was born. he must have known my surname or what my surname was going to be. so there's always that thought process that, yes, did he follow football? was he a football fan? he knew my name. did he follow my so—called successes in football or not? and it's well worked in by woodcock, all on his own and he had the shot. tony woodcock was once a king amongst men for what he did with forest, arsenal and england. now he's enlisting the help of people who discovered an actual king to help find his long lost father. woodcock will try and claim the opening goal now because then he would have a hat trick. hello! hello, oh, my goodness,
8:35 am
it's so lovely to met you. nice to meet you face to face. good to see you. come on in. 0k. that's where i'm zooming in on, north east birmingham, yeah? yeah, and it's really, so if you look at your percentage that you've got, it's really, really high. well, turi's the best in the business as far as i'm concerned. that's the reason i got in touch with her. so i said, well, we've got certain tidbits of information, we know the name, we know where he worked, we know roughly he came in from poland. we think he was in the war. he was studying to be a doctor in the early years. you know, this is not a rushjob that's got to be done next week, it may take a few years, but it's important. it's important for my family that we know where i come from. he knows bits and pieces like his biological father was named peter. he was the head dyer at gilt brook. so we know a little bit about where he worked. we've gotten in touch with them.
8:36 am
do they have any records? does anybody remember peter? and if anybody does, if they'd be willing to come forward and chat to us and hopefully do a dna test, then hopefully that can lead us to help tony to find out who his dad was. back in eastwood, where tony was born in 1955, he only has snippets of information and a distant memory to cling to. my mother had a friendship with a gentleman, and things were a little bit difficult all those years ago. you couldn'tjust think, i'm moving on. once i was taken by my mother over to the dye house and by all accounts, the gentleman in the dye house, the head dyer, is my biological father. didn't know at the time, obviously. didn't know for many, many years after, obviously. but it's quite significant that i was taken there once and once only.
8:37 am
ijust think it's so incredibly important for people to be able to find out where they're from. i think it's a bit of a right. dna tests have been taken. but i still need the people in the east midlands, their help. whether you come from eastwood, langley mill, kimberley, the outskirts of nottingham, start looking deep into your memories and see if you can come up with any sort of information of what we've been chatting about. i need your help. best of luck. get in touch with the bbc if anyone's got the slightest piece of information. you never know, that little nugget of info might be the key to unlocking the story.- of info might be the key to unlocking the story. there are interesting — unlocking the story. there are interesting clues _ unlocking the story. there are interesting clues and - unlocking the story. there are i interesting clues and information there, the polish peter, essentially, the dye networks, if that makes sense to you, you have heard tony, he is desperate to know

more. so if you're from the east midlands area and have any information about who his father could be please do get in touch with us. you can imagine first of all the shock of finding out and then thinking, iam shock of finding out and then thinking, i am curious, shock of finding out and then thinking, iam curious, i shock of finding out and then thinking, i am curious, i want to know more. thinking, i am curious, i want to know more-— thinking, i am curious, i want to know more. , ., , ., know more. some people might not want to know _ know more. some people might not want to know but _ know more. some people might not want to know but he _ know more. some people might not want to know but he obviously - know more. some people might not| want to know but he obviously really does. the number is on the screen. you can use the camera on your phone to zap that qr code. always include your name and where you are getting in touch from. the e—mail address might be good because you could have a bit more information to give us. it would be great if we could get tony some answers.— it would be great if we could get tony some answers. yes, he could be out there or — tony some answers. yes, he could be out there or someone _ tony some answers. yes, he could be out there or someone who _ tony some answers. yes, he could be out there or someone who knows - tony some answers. yes, he could be| out there or someone who knows him. when referee andrew jarvis collapsed during a football match in 2021, his life was saved by the quick thinking of a colleague and a defibrillator. the club now has three more of the devices after a fundraising campaign but says it could have had four —
8:39 am
if it didn't have to pay vat. our reporterjames vincent has more. all right, how you doing? you all right? not too bad, how are you? i've got to thank football for saving my life. without the defib i'm pretty sure i wouldn't be standing here. 3:00, saturday football, former ref andrew jarvis won't be taking this for granted again because it was nearly the last thing he ever saw. went to check the nets, walking back towards the touchline. i got an overwhelming feeling that i was going to pass out. next thing i knew, it was 6:30 the following morning, waking up in intensive care. there's no doubt about it. shannon definitely saved my life on that day. how are you doing? how do you thank somebody who saved your life? since shannon and the defib saved andrew, she's raised money for three more, but says a tax cut would have helped for another. the vat from three defibs would definitely more or less add up to a fourth. if not, we'd only need to fund for a little bit more.
8:40 am
and obviously having a fourth would help in another community or another football team. well, we'd have anotherfour defibrillators in the area if we didn't pay vat. because it could happen to anyone. jessica lally from kimber worth was 26 when she died from cardiac arrest. so far, herfamily have raised money for 17 defibrillators around her home town of kimber worth. i am proud that they're there. and, you know, it keeszessica's name alive, shall we say. jessica's family have been helped out by a rotherham charity, and they think it wouldn't cost the government much to drop vat. the consumables, the pads that you have to use, vat again. in the great scheme of things nationally i'm sure that vat on defibrillators is not, you know, a big thing. the cost is minimal. it doesn't even trouble the treasury when it does its figures at a budget. and i've done five budgets as a treasury minister, so the chancellor could do it. he could do it with this budget
8:41 am
and it would help so many people. the government told us... they also told us there was a pot of £1 million that communities could bid for so they can buy more defibs. 1—0 to worksop and andrew's having a good afternoon, but he has got a message for the chancellor. i find it totally unbelievable that there is vat on something that clearly saves lives. it saved my life. why would anybody want to put vat on something like that? i just don't know. that was andrew jarvis speaking to us there, as part of james vincent's report. we have got some spot now. i would be curious to see if they cuts to taylor swift at the super bowl more

other side at this stage of a premier league season. there's been no further update on roy hodgson ahead of his side's match with everton later. he was taken to hospital on friday having fallen ill, prior to rumours he was about to be sacked. it's unlikely he'll be in the dugout at goodison park. hodgson was said to be feeling better over the weekend. we've been saying how we've got a title race on in the scottish premiership. rangers out in front now though, two points clear at the top after beating stjohnstone 3—0. two james tavernier penalties put the icing on the cake after this goalfrom mohamed diomande in the first half. so rangers go top with 12 games left. the england striker harry kane is in danger of seeing his season at bayern munich peter out. they're now eight points behind leaders bayer leverkusen after losing to bochum yesterday.
8:44 am
a third straight defeat in all competitions. kane did eventually score but signs all is not well. thomas tuchel admitted kane hasn't been happy with the way he's been used. it was the worst english test defeat in terms of runs since 1934, but could captain ben stokes be about to bowl again to try and save the series with india? it's after slumping to a huge 434 run defeat. only a loss to australia before the second world war was by a bigger margin in terms of runs. but after knee surgery, and bowling in trainingagain, is stokes ready to bowl again? i'm not saying yes, i'm not saying no. i think i have progressed a lot faster than what i thought i would have done. but, you know, me being me i'm always very optimistic about most things. and that will be a more

realisation chat more than anything with the medical team about work workload i have done to actually pass me off of not being at massive risk, if that makes sense. formula 1 has urged red bull to resolve the controversy surrounding christian horner as soon as possible. red bull's team principal is facing allegations of inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards a female colleague. horner has denied the allegations. formula 1 say they "hope that the matter will be clarified at the earliest opportunity after a fair and thorough process". red bull keen for that to be resolved quickly. formula 1 as a whole want that to be resolved as well. back to you guys. when conjoined twins marieme and ndeye were born in senegal, doctors only expected them to survive for a few days.
8:46 am
at the age of two, they moved to the uk for treatment at great ormond street hospital and since then the girls have defied all the odds and recently celebrated their seventh birthday. our reporter lucy owen has their story. what is it now? marieme and ndeye enjoying playing with their friends at mount stuart primary. theirfather always hoped they'd go to mainstream school. it's a way for me to show that they are part of society. this is what i wanted — for them to have a normal life. to see kids, to play with them, to laugh with them, to make friends, to develop as individuals. they don't have to hide from anybody. dad applied for them to come to nursery here because we were local. they were three at that point and joined our nursery part time and we were frightened and we were scared that we'd get it wrong.
8:47 am
but we knew that we could build a good relationship with dad and that if we could build the relationship with dad, that we could make it work. the wonderful thing about children is they only see their friend. they're both so pretty. i like cats too and they like cats. they're really kind to us and they're really nice to play with. ndeye's favourite colour i is my favourite colour too. that's why they're stuck together — because they really love each other. and we always do girl power with them. girl power! the twins need regular monitoring and hospital checkups. the doctor will listen to your heart. thanks. can you feel it? where can you feel it? can you feel it there? are you going to tell me? are you already training to be a doctor? -

they've got one pair of legs i between them and one pelvis. moving up through their abdomen, they've got a lot— of different organs. so we've got bowels and we've got a urinary system. - they've got two totally separate i spinal cords with all their nerves, yet somehow they completely i co—ordinate and they don't have to tell each other how to move an arm or how to move a leg. i itjust works. and again, two separate hearts. but we know they're linked - and they can't survive on their own. this is an x—ray of the girls�* pelvis and the lower abdomen. and what you can clearly see here are two spines. normally, you'd have a spine going straight up out of the pelvis but here we've got one here and one here. so this is illustrating the approximate place of where they are joined. when we first met them, you know, they were babies and i think there was a lot of uncertainty. could they be separated or what might happen? and, having worked through those very, very difficult conversations, now we've just had two years
8:49 am
where we've hardly seen them in hospital, and that's been really, really good. i think there is no doubt their life is going to be complex. i think we've still got serious risks of infection and serious risks to their hearts. i think that is probably the area where they're going to struggle. if you develop an infection in your bladder or your kidneys and you can't get on top of it with antibiotics, there is a risk of that evolving into sepsis. so that's a real risk for them. and, also heart failure. it's getting a balance between being prepared, being realistic, but not talking about that all the time. shall we go and show everybody in the classroom? yeah. one of the main hopes for marieme and ndeye is that they will be able to stand and perhaps one day walk. at school, they spend time in a standing frame to get them used to being upright. they have a standing frame because if you've been
8:50 am
in a wheelchair all your life, you're not used to being upright. so we're training them to get some strength in their legs. what does everybody say when you're in the standing frame, girls? oh, you look tall! whatever challenges the girls face, their dad believes their courage can inspire others. as i say to many people, "we're going to live." how long? i don't know. i don't want to know now. i don't want to know. ijust concentrate on the present and making every day a surprise and celebrating life. amazing story. for more on the twins' story a documentary called inseparable sisters will air on wednesday night at quarter to 11 on bbc one and on the bbc iplayer. lovely seeing them playing with their pals. it’s lovely seeing them playing with their als. �* , ., lovely seeing them playing with their als. h ., , ., , their pals. it's quite a story. yeah, their pals. it's quite a story. yeah. it's — their pals. it's quite a story. yeah, it's lovely. _ hospitality groups say pubs,
