wa nt to you know that feeling when you just want to start again! carol's here. will get milder through the week but once again it will be a cold day and the main feature will be the wind especially in the west and south—west, touching gale force wind than severe gales. today some will see some sunshine and i'll tell you where in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. pensioners are, on average, better off than people of working age according to a new study. the think tank the resolution foundation campaigns for lower earners. it says pensioner households are now £20 a week better off than working age households because they are more likely to own their home, have generous private pensions and still be working, as keith doyle reports. it's those who retired recently who are enjoying higher incomes according to the study. the rising pensioner incomes comes as working households are seeing their income squeezed. the resolution foundation says the typical pensioner household is now £20 a week better off than one with people of working age after
6:03 am
housing costs are taken into account. 15 years ago the average pensioner was £70 a week worse off than younger working households. the changes are attributed to a number of factors, the proportion of pensioner households in which at least one person still works has grown from one in eight in 2001 to nearly one in five. many newly retired people also have generous occupational pensions and own their own homes, and all have enjoyed a rise in pension benefits. at the same time working age households have experienced a low income growth. but the report also reveals a sharp divide. the poorest fifth of pensioner households rely solely on welfare payments. and it says future generations will be less likely to own their own homes or enjoy such generous workplace pensions. keith doyle, bbc news. britain's biggest supermarket has pledged to take immediate action following a bbc investigation revealed overcharging. over three months a team from bbc inside out visited 50 branches across england and found multi—buy deals
6:04 am
still being advertised days, weeks and in some cases months after the deductions were no longer valid at the till. jonathan gibson reports. when we see a special offer on the supermarket shelves, we expect to pay that price at the till. but it's not always the case at tesco. and here's why. the bbc visited 50 tesco stores across england, and was overcharged in 33 of them. tesco did not want to do an interview, but after reviewing the bbc‘s evidence, said... but that's just the start.
6:05 am
following our investigation, britain's biggest supermarket has said it will be doublechecking the accuracy of every price in every store. that's more than 3,500 stores across britain. jonathan gibson, bbc news. and ben's here to tell us more. how do you even know you're paying the wrong price? that's what many people don't know, they get to the till, they see something advertised ona till, they see something advertised on a shelf that says 2—for—1, you get to the till and if you're putting everything else through the till you don't notice that one thing. then you think maybe you made the mistake and you bought something not part of the offer and that's what is so confusing. as far as tesco is concerned, there's no indication this is on purpose but
6:06 am
the speed at which they change the offers is such that they're not able to change the signage on the shelf. you all here in that piece that some of the staff in the store said there's not enough staff to keep changing the shelf labels, and some of the figures are interesting. as you said, two thirds of the stores that were visited in this enquiry we re that were visited in this enquiry were found to have the wrong prices on the shelves. that's over the course of three months. even after the bbc investigation and the reporter pointed it out to staff at those stores that these prices and advertisements on the shelves are wrong, they hadn't changed. tesco said it takes this very seriously and it will review how it does it. we should say further indication that this is only a store only problem, none of this was reported on the website, that is done automatically because when they change things the website is updated automatically. this is old tech against new tech, labels on the side of the shelves meeting the new
6:07 am
technology and the speed at which these offers go through the shelves. the full investigation can be seen in most english regions tonight on inside out at 7:30pm on bbc one, and on the bbc iplayer. let us know what you think about that story as well via the usual channels. tens of thousands of people in northern california have been told to evacuate their homes after the tallest dam in america was weakened by heavy rainfall. quite extraordinary pictures! officials say the emergency spillway of the 0roville dam could collapse at any moment. it's the first time the lake has experienced such an emergency in its near 50 year history. david lee reports. the 0roville dam, which is about 150 miles north—east of san francisco, is the tallest in the us. 0ver miles north—east of san francisco, is the tallest in the us. over the weekend and after weeks of historically heavy rain in california, residents in the surrounding towns were ordered to evacuate. the dam itself is not at risk of bursting, the authorities said, but one contingency measure to
6:08 am
prevent flooding failed last week and on sunday afternoon the emergency backup plan was about to fail too. the emergency spillway, which has until now never been needed, began to rapidly erode when water was channelled through it, creating a 30 foot deep hole. at one point residents were told the spillway could fail within an hour, provoking thousands to take to their ca i’s provoking thousands to take to their cars and head away from affected areas. 0n cars and head away from affected areas. on sunday evening authorities said the pace of the erosion had slowed and its plan to plug the hole by dropping in large rocks appeared to be working for the time being. more rain is expected this week. dave lee, bbc news. we will keep you up to date on that through the morning. a bbc investigation has found evidence of major security failings at a privately—run prison in the north—east of england. a reporterfrom the panorama programme filmed undercover at the jail in morpeth while working as a prison officer; he discovered that alarms on two doors didn't work, searches weren't conducted properly and there was a hole in a fence.
6:09 am
and after 7am we'll get reaction to this from the prison officers association. firefighters in australia are still battling around eighty bushfires in new south wales. many properties have been destroyed but so far there are no reports of any lives lost. however, forecasters are warning conditions could become dangerous again by the end of the week. the united states, japan and south korea have requested an urgent meeting of the united nations security council to discuss north korea's latest missile test. yesterday it was confirmed a ballistic missile was fired. the state is already subject to a range of sanctions over its missile and nuclear bomb tests. analysts believe the country is still years away from developing an effective nuclear missile. a bit ofa a bit of a shock there we're all a.

6:11 am
whole the association says the downturn in figures can be seen as a good thing because it shows the public regards cosmetic surgery as a serious commitment, not a quick fix. andy moore, bbc news. it was a big awards night, the grammys and the baftas! let's start with the baftas. la la land has dominated the baftas, scooping five awards, including best film and best actress for emma stone. there were also awards for lion, including best supporting actor for dev patel, and ken loach‘s i, daniel blake, which was named outstanding british film at the london ceremony. thank you to the academy for endorsing the truth of what the film says, which hundreds of thousands of people in this country know, and thatis people in this country know, and that is the most vulnerable and the poorest people are treated by this government with a callous brutality thatis government with a callous brutality that is disgraceful. it was a successful night for adele at the 59th annual grammy awards,
