she described all of priorities. she described all of thatis priorities. she described all of that is a blatant attempt to get revenge after his sacking. jonathan reynolds, the opposition saying the allegations about delays of payments till after the election could not be more serious and now he said you have completely contrasting competing accounts, only one can be true. he called for more transparency and scrutiny. let's go to westminster. our correspondent was listening to that. she didn't mince her words in terms of a response. but what was your headline tour from what you heard? she response. but what was your headline tour from what you heard?— tour from what you heard? she didn't hold back, did — tour from what you heard? she didn't hold back, did she? _ tour from what you heard? she didn't hold back, did she? clearly _ tour from what you heard? she didn't hold back, did she? clearly hurt - tour from what you heard? she didn't hold back, did she? clearly hurt by i hold back, did she? clearly hurt by this interview given to the sunday times at the weekend. he made a series of allegations in there, and she went through three of them in

particular that she wanted to dismiss, really, to kind of completely put to bed. her argument very strongly in terms of the phone call when she called him up to sack him last month, this idea that she told him that someone had to take the rap for the delays in getting compensation to the sub—postmaster is an postmistress is just wasn't true, she said she was going to put on record the minutes from that phone call in the library, presumably we will see that posted online in the next few minutes or so. he says that he has his own recording, he took notes and insists that what he said to the sunday times was true. it is very much a he said, she said. as the shadow business secretary pointed out, there are two separate accounts and it is hard to work out what the truth is. but she insisted that this idea that the government was trying to stall the process of compensation

couldn't be further of the truth. she pointed to a letter sent to him when he first got the job, making clear it was a big priority in that job. she has not been able to disprove this allegation that a senior civil servant told him on the phone, although she said there is no evidence of this, that that process should be stalled. it is a bit murky, this one, but we have a cabinet minister absolutely sure of herself at the dispatch box. we will wait to see what henry staughton has to say in response. we have this big row about a scandal that was dominating the headlines at the start of the year. that dominating the headlines at the start of the year.— start of the year. that last allegation _ start of the year. that last allegation of _ start of the year. that last allegation of stalling - start of the year. that last allegation of stalling on i allegation of stalling on compensation payments perhaps the most serious. so we will see how this plays out in the coming hours, with labour's calls for

transparency, greater scrutiny. with labour's calls for transparency, greaterscrutiny. in transparency, greater scrutiny. in about transparency, greaterscrutiny. in about 25 minutes' time, we'll be speaking to the conservative mp who was such a driving force in the campaign to getjustice for the sub—postmasters. that will be in about 25 minutes. you were watching bbc news. now for today's business news. we start with uk electrical store chain currys — its shares have surged around 38% on hopes of a takeover battle for the struggling firm. over the weekend, currys said it had rejected an offer by us—based investors elliott and, early on monday, chinese online retailer jd.com confirmed it's also considering making a bid. currys has about a quarter of the market for electrical goods here in the uk, as well as businesses abroad. but it has been suffering amid the cost of living crisis that has seen consumers put off buying "big ticket" items. and, of course, it has faced cut—throat competition

from online rivals. i spoke to retail expert kate hardcastle and asked her why — given the challenges — these overseas buyers are interested in currys. very challenging time for retail sale. and we know that certainly brands who have a high street presence really have to invest in perhaps one of two roads, which is, do they look at price and get really competitive there or the store infrastructure and the service and the environment in which you sell? i think the interesting thing outside in on currys is that they've dealt with many of us here in the uk — up to 80%, it reckons, of households. and that could be really interesting for a brand that maybe wants to come in and make a quick opportunity work for it within the marketplace. and if you do look atjd.com, or indeed the other people mentioned, it would give them, as online experts, a really instant database and one which was with a trusted brand here in the uk.

and the issue for so many of these retailers, notjust currys, is how they combine that online price and convenience with service. and it's the likes ofjohn lewis used to do this really well. you could go in, touch it, play with it, work out if you liked it before you bought it. is there still a niche for retailers who do that bit of service very well? i think so. as technology becomes more complicated for many of us, we do look for that guidance and expertise. but i visited a currys store just this weekend and what i did find is it's still very much a house of brands. that means that showrooming becomes really quick and easy for those who've got a mobile phone in hand and can quickly look at that brand and that product or something similar online and just really be motivated by cost. the opportunity for electrical, obviously is if you can create a brand that offers those service packages. now we know that currys have done a lot in this environment, including the idea that you can dial live through a video, link into a store to speak to a representative to guide you through some of those purchases. so they're looking at ease

and convenience all the way through, whether that's enough to keep them salient as one of our biggest technology brands here in the uk, or that makes them ripe for the takeover, we've yet to see. but what we do know is, this year, as we've just heard, we've gone to recession now in the uk that idea of spending things that perhaps you don't have to buy, the items that perhaps can be put to one side or you can wait a little bit longer, is going to be more prevalent for consumers wanting to tighten the budget again. we will certainly keep and ion whether there are any further development in that story. let's turn to climate change now, because one of the world's busiest airports — singapore — has announced today that all planes taking off from 2026 will have to use sustainable aviation fuel. it's part of the industry's global effort to achieve net—zero emissions by 2050. but where will it come from, and will there be enough to meet growing demand? the bbc�*s monica miller has been taking a look at how it's made, from the fryer to the refinery. this cooking oil may seem like it's

already served its purpose, but for the aviation industry, it's liquid gold, as it looks for ways to cut its carbon footprint. the fleet in malaysia is constantly growing. we're about 100 vehicles at the moment. every month we constantly deploy more vehicles. fathopes energy collects recycled cooking oil from fast food chains like mcdonald's and kfc, as well as food production plants in kuala lumpur and singapore. the company gathers between five and 11 tonnes of used oil per month. the energy portfolio of the future is going to be extremely diversified and extremely indigenous. by some estimates, aeroplane engines account for 3.5% of global warming. but by 2050, this sector has set its sights on being net zero. or, as the british government calls it, jet zero. one way to get there is by using sustainable aviation fuel, which is made up of vegetable oils and animalfats rather

than fossil fuels. but right now, it makes up less than i% of the aviation fuel supply. the industry is going to need almost 500 tonnes to meet its decarbonisation goal. to get there, a lot of chips in the fryer. how big are they? what's in them? how many of them... finnish company neste, the world's largest producer of saf, recently built a $1.8 billion refinery here in southeast asia. but here's the challenge — sustainable aviation fuel is three—to—five times more expensive than traditionaljet fuel. it's not easy for airlines to just switch to more costly, sustainable aviation fuel if their competitors are not required to do the same. and that's why regulatory actions to set minimum requirements for sustainable aviation fuel use in the airports is critical in creating that demand. industry experts also warn this alternative fuel isn't a silver bullet. until we have an alternative mode of propulsion, such

as hydrogen, for instance, we are stuck with having to have a fuel. and here the beauty is with a sustainable aviation fuels is that they are made entirely from renewable inputs. so we completely replace the source of the fuel when we use saf, but we cannot totally eliminate the emissions because it's still a combustion engine. the aviation industry was built on finding ways to defy gravity, but without concrete mandates to boost investment from governments, a jet—zero operation could face substantial headwinds. monica miller, bbc news, singapore. that is what sustainable fuel is, but what does it mean for the industry? for more on this, i spoke to guy gratton, associate professor of aviation and environment at cranfield

university here in the uk. he began by explaining what this so—called sustainable aviation fuel is. it is biofuel, it is basically quite a clean form of biodiesel using a wide range of feedstocks, agricultural waste, wide range of feedstocks, agriculturalwaste, chip wide range of feedstocks, agricultural waste, chip fat, you name it. to create something chemically similarfossilfuels, but because you were not using new oil out of the ground, it is inherently got a lower carbon footprint than pure fossil fuels, but it is still not zero. the good ones are typically around 40% of the carbon footprint of fossil jet fuel. we footprint of fossil 'et fuel. we know that h footprint of fossiljet fuel. we know that the industry desperately is trying to find a way to be greener, to reduce emissions. it is one of the biggest emitters in the world. if i one of the biggest emitters in the world. .., one of the biggest emitters in the world. , .,, i. world. if i can stop you there, it is not. world. if i can stop you there, it is not- the _ world. if i can stop you there, it is not. the aviation _ world. if i can stop you there, it is not. the aviation industry - world. if i can stop you there, it is not. the aviation industry is l is not. the aviation industry is responsible for around 2.5% of the wilds c02

grow all of our ownjet united kingdom, and if he were to grow all of our own jet fuel in the uk, we would have to use about two thirds of our farmland, which uk, we would have to use about two thirds of ourfarmland, which is clearly not possible because you cannotjeopardise clearly not possible because you cannot jeopardise few security to solve climate change. globally, almost certainly there is nowhere near enough supply of feedstock to provide the amount ofjet fuel that the world requires. so we do need other solutions. these biofuels are a good idea, but they are a stopgap, they won't solve the long—term problem. if you want to learn more about the airline industry's move towards net zero and sustainable aviation fuel, check out the bbc�*s podcast, the climate question. those are your top business news this hour. people living in bath say this is not only an eyesore, but it is

now some breaking football news, and former england boss roy hodgson has stepped down as manager of premier league strugglers crystal palace, just hours before their crucial clash with relegation rivals everton. hodgson, who's 76, was taken to hospital last thursday, after falling ill during training. let's speak to bbc football reporter, alex howell. alex, i suspect this was pretty inevitable, once we heard of the details of that collapse in training last week. ., �* , details of that collapse in training last week. . �* , ., , last week. that's right. it was actually coming, _ last week. that's right. it was actually coming, crystal - last week. that's right. it was l actually coming, crystal palace last week. that's right. it was - actually coming, crystal palace were planning to make a change in manager ahead of the news that he had fallen ill. it was being reported that they were close to agreeing a deal with the former frankfurt manager. the fact that roy hodgson fell ill made it a very delicate situation in how they were going to move forward. theirform in the they were going to move forward. their form in the league they were going to move forward. theirform in the league is bad and

the club wanted it to be known that they were prioritising his health first, but they did have to look after the future of the club. so the change of manager news isn't a shock, but the timing may be for some people. shock, but the timing may be for some maple-— shock, but the timing may be for some --eole. , some people. last season, he saved them when — some people. last season, he saved them when they _ some people. last season, he saved them when they were _ some people. last season, he saved them when they were in _ some people. last season, he saved them when they were in such - some people. last season, he saved l them when they were in such trouble. he is —— he has such a great history. when you look back at the managerial club level and national level that roy hodgson has been involved in. hf level that roy hodgson has been involved in-_ involved in. if you look at crystal palace, involved in. if you look at crystal palace. he _ involved in. if you look at crystal palace, he has— involved in. if you look at crystal palace, he has been _ involved in. if you look at crystal palace, he has been in _ half the time they have been in the premier league in this long stint. he has had a career that spanned nearly 50 years in the dugout, has been to sweden, won five consecutive league titles, they had a part of the stadium named after him. a

former england manager and liverpool manager, he took fulham to the final of the europa league, and now with crystal palace he created a reputation as a manager in the top—flight that it would make teams hard to beat. most managers you speak to who are up and coming in the game, especially in the premier league, speak about their respect for him at what he managed to achieve and how he has adapted over such a long career. you achieve and how he has adapted over such a long career.— such a long career. you are absolutely _ such a long career. you are absolutely right _ such a long career. you are absolutely right about - such a long career. you are j absolutely right about that. such a long career. you are - absolutely right about that. thank you for that analysis after we heard a while ago about that breaking development from crystal palace. thank you. a bbc panorama investigation has discovered that uk special forces blocked troops from the afghan units they fought alongside from relocating to the uk, after the taliban came into power. leaked documents show that uk special forces rejected applications despite some containing compelling evidence of service alongside the british military. the uk ministry of defence says it is conducting an independent review. with me is bbc

back at westminster to get the latest from government spokespeople and a variety of mps who are bound to have a say over those dreadful events that we learned out of moscow on friday. that is all coming up here on bbc news. the bbc has discovered that many nhs patients in england are stuck on hidden waiting lists, potentially running into millions. people who are referred to a specialist for treatment for cancer or heart failure, for example, are no longer counted on the main waiting lists. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, has more. rigby, come on. rigby! here. 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, then nothing. the waiting has taken a toll. you can hit really low spots.

i think my kids and my grandchildren and my husband as well, they are what keep me going, because i think i would have given up before now. you think, well, i can't do any more. every month we report on the latest waiting times for nonurgent 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 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 is 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 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.

the emergency services are great. anything else, i'm terrified. you know, it's one of those things now... you know, 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's frightening. dominic hughes, bbc news. two police officers have been disciplined over a a whatsapp message about the fatal knife attacks on three people in nottingham lastjune. the force described the message as "crude and distasteful". our reporter aruna iyengar has more details. the two students and a school tech cocoa stabbed to death injune last year. there was disbelief from the

relatives when he received a sentence for manslaughter on the grants of diminished responsibility. the deaths shocked the country and united the city. families have found out that officers shared in inappropriate 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 in january, but they admitted 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 is described as a management intervention, another has been given a final warning. the mother of barnaby webber said it was an apparent way to conduct an investigation and said the families hadn't been made aware of the data

breach. she has previously criticised the police investigation and spoke about her concerns to the bbc last month. it is and spoke about her concerns to the bbc last month.— bbc last month. it is also the failinus bbc last month. it is also the failings of — bbc last month. it is also the failings of the _ bbc last month. it is also the failings of the police - bbc last month. it is also the failings of the police to - failings of the police to investigate and act accordingly up to the attacks, and also the investigation of the case we have real concerns about. and the way we have 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. after the break, we will have the latest on the death of alexei navalny. we heard his widow's statement earlier. we will get the latest live from moscow. we also have a government statement in the house of commons on the death of

alexei navalny. also that post office story we were hearing about, with the allegation that the government asked the head of the post office to stall on compensation payments. we will talk to the mp who was such a campaigner for sub postmasters. that is coming up live on the programme after the next little while. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello there. it's staying mild for the time of year for the first half of this week, but towards the end of the week, things are set to turn colder as we pick up north—westerly winds, with increasing chance of wintry showers on hills in the north. tomorrow, though, it's going to be another mild day, and we'll see a band of rain spreading southwards across the country. but tonight, many places will be dry, variable cloud, some clear spells. most of the cloud in northern and western areas, and then we'll start to see that weather front pushing into western scotland, northern ireland, bringing outbreaks of rain here and strengthening winds. so temperatures lifting here, but some chillier sparks further south and east under the clear skies. so, for tuesday then, here's this weather front

moving its way southwards and eastwards gradually through the course of the day. ahead of it, it stays mild, rather cloudy, some glimmers of brightness here and there. but the rain, heavy at times, will spread across scotland and northern ireland through the morning period, and then start to spread southwards and eastwards across england and wales as we head into the afternoon. but behind it, it brightens up for scotland and northern ireland, sunshine, some blustery showers — a few of these could be heavy — hail and thunder across north—west scotland. ahead of the rain band, it's going to be another largely cloudy day, but very mild, 13—14 degrees here. something a bit cooler further north. that weather front moves southwards, fizzles out. it's dry, clear and chilly for a while for the first part of the night. but then the next low pressure system hurtles in off the atlantic, and the increasing cloud, wind and rain will lift those temperatures, certainly across southern and western areas. so here it is, then, a more active system to move through for wednesday. more isobars on the charts, so it will be windy. we're looking at gales around coastal areas, particularly across northern areas, and a very wet start. some of this rain could be quite heavy, and in fact, it's falling on saturated ground,

we could see some issues with localised flooding. but the rain mostly clears out into the north sea into the afternoon. skies brighten up, although obviously there'll be some blustery showers to clear across northern and western areas. bit of a hangback of cloud for eastern england and the south—east. fairly mild again, eight to 12 or 13 degrees, but that's the last of the mild days through this week. from thursday onwards, we open the floodgates to a north—westerly wind. you can see the blue colours taking over, so it will be turning chillier for all areas. and because low pressure will be nearby, it will tend to remain fairly unsettled. so temperatures dipping for all areas closer to the seasonal norm. some of the showers in the north could have a wintry element to them.
