: h—"nw department of health says it encourages breast—feeding babies for the first six months with support from midwives or health visitors. the vouchers were raised —— funded by public health england, which researchers say is a small price tag with long—term benefits to babies, mothers and the nhs. darren is here with the latest weather, and you are right, it was very cold. yes, still the risk of icy stretches from many parts of the country. many parts of the country still barely above freezing at the moment. a bright and sunny picture here in suffolk but there are changes taking place in northern ireland where we have seen the cloud increasing and outbreaks of rain as well. things are changing, we have the cold air across the uk but coming into that cold air we have a mass of cloud which will bring wet weather and as it runs

into the cold air there is a risk of icy stretches and even some smoke as the wet weather moves in across the northern half of the uk where it is still very cold. we may even find snow falling in scotland, that will lift onto the hills by the evening. by lift onto the hills by the evening. by this stage the wet weather has cleared away from northern ireland. snow over the pennines into the cumbrian fells as well. further south, more rain. whilst we are seeing increasing cloud, it is still called this evening and frosty with a good covering of snow around as well. so icy conditions likely through this evening as the wet weather pushes eastwards. it will sweep across the whole again. sufficiently close to zero to bring the risk of more ice, and the

greatest risk of disruption due to icy weather may well be across scotla nd icy weather may well be across scotland and northern england. through the morning tomorrow, we will see cloud and showery outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards across all areas. it will be replaced by more sunshine in the afternoon, showers turning wintry in scotland and northern ireland. across southern parts of england and wales, you could be up at around nine, even 10 celsius, albeit rather briefly. this snow could be an issue through the evening across northern ireland, scotland, perhaps northern england and wales, even to lower levels for and wales, even to lower levels for a while. that moves through and then as we head into thursday the wind is picking up. showers could be wintry, snow more likely over the higher ground. temperature is beginning to drop away again. seven celsius across southern england. wintry showers will continue into friday but the wind direction will change. we will start to get our air from

the antarctic once again, nowhere near as cold as it has been recently, but the threat of snow and ice is set to continue. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime... the squeeze on household budgets continues as inflation hits its highest level for almost six years. that's all from the bbc news at one so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. you're watching bbc news. i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. arsenal manager arsene wenger says he can understand how the manchester derby on sunday ended in a fracas outside the old trafford dressing rooms following city's win. a carton of milk was thrown and city coach mikel arteta also suffered a cut head. that brought back memories of 2004, when united beat wengers arsenal and sir alex ferguson was hit by a slice of pizza thrown by cesc fabregas in an altercation between those teams.

sometimes it can happen, in fact you are always very good, the press, you build these things up like its life oi’ build these things up like its life or death and if something happens after you were surprised, it's part of the intensity of the game, i game can goa of the intensity of the game, i game can go a bit overboard. it happened to worse, it happened to them and it's unfortunate but ideally you would commit 200% on the pitch and the injured after but it is not a lwa ys the injured after but it is not always the case. manchester city and manchester united are holding scheduled conferences right now ahead of their match tomorrow night. city are expected to release a

statement regarding sunday's incident. england's cricketers are gearing up for the third test that starts tomorrow night in perth. they are 2—0 down in the ashes series, so can't afford to lose at the waca. there's been criticism of their performances and they have also had to deal with off—field disciplinary issues, bar—room incidents. former captain michael vaughan says they are behaving like students and that the senior players need to step up and be role models. alastair cook was asked for his take on england's conduct. i don't think we are getting painted fairly in the media on our culture. clearly there have been a couple of things which, it sounds silly to say it, in the media have been brought up, but the world's change after the september incident, so it is up to us to adjust to that quickly and we can't afford any mistakes because we understand that they have had it with the ecb and trying to make kids play cricket, which is what we want to do. a little earlier i spoke to another former england captain, david gower, who was heavily fined along with his team—matejohn morris for their antics in a bi—plane on the ‘91 ashes tour.

he says that results will temper how any off—field indiscretions are reported. the key thing, as ever in these situations, if you are producing the right results on the pitch, then people are very forgiving. i remember years ago in manchester we won the international against new zealand and were found in a wine bar at 1am, they had headlines ready to go in the papers the next day slamming us for being out of order but as we won the game the headline was hic hic hurray. some rugby union news, the longest serving director of rugby in the premiership, northampton‘s jim mallinder has been sacked. saints were champions three years ago but lie in tenth in the table and are on the brink of a european cup exit after defeat to ospreys at the weekend.

mallinder had been in the role for ten years. attack coach alan dickens takes temporary charge. the russian olympic committee will give support to their athletes who want to compete under a neutral flag at next year's winter games. that's the only way that russians will be able to go to south korea, after the ioc banned russia because of systematic state—sponsored doping over a number of years. neutral athletes will have to prove they are cleaned by having been tested outside the russian anti—doping system that was proved to be corrupt. that's all the sport for now. don't forget the bbc website with more on all those stories and they will bring you up to date on the manchester united and manchester city news conferences taking place right now. the department of health is defending the decision to put one of england's top nhs trusts into "special measures". king's college hospital in south london is predicting a deficit of £92 million at the end of the financial year, with its chairman — lord kerslake —

resigning, blaming government cuts. labour was granted an urgent question in the house of commons. will he face up to the fact that problems caused by lack of money will not be solved by changing leadership? kings is an amazing hospital, a specialist world centre of research. it is there for local people, they're after the grenfell tower fire and after the terror incidents. is it too much to ask the government to recognise the reality of the situation, pull back from imposing these further cuts that will make patients suffer? no amount of changing the faces at the top will make that difference. it's his responsibility. this isn'tjust about numbers but the way the trust is managed and the honourable gentleman asked if i have been there, i have been there and met the chairman and the finance director and they were not

addressing the problems in the way they should have done. the former partner of serial killer levi bellfield has told the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire programme she constantly questions whether she should have reported him to the police sooner. jo collings says he regularly used to attack her and she now believes she was "target practice" to prepare himself for the murders of 13—year—old milly dowler, 19—year—old marsha mcdonnell and amelie delagrange who was 22. he's currently serving a life sentence for their murders, which took place between 2002 and 2004, and the attempted murder of another woman. you'd get punched and kicked, strangled, burned with cigarettes. strangling was quite a good one of his. if he punched you, he would keep punching you in the one spot and keep punching you in that spot

because he knew how much it would hurt. were there are moments where you thought he might end up killing you? there were a couple. but because i fought back, it was a bit of a competition for him. you say he also sexually abused you and you have waived your right to anonymity to talk to us about that for which we are very grateful. can you give us an insight into what he would do? the rapes became quite common, we were his property and we belonged to him, whatever he wanted, he did. you did not say no to him and you did not argue or question, you became a shell and he just chipped away and broke you. do you know how many times he raped you? i could not tell you, hundreds, over the years. did you consider reporting him to the police?

i considered reporting him, i wanted him to leave because he lived with me and my mum and my mum's house but he did not go, he would not go. do you know why you didn't go to the police after considering it? you're too frightened. the one time i did call the police the abuse i got, it was full. from bellfield? yes, i think i was the only one to ever get an injunction served on him and within half an hour he had ripped it up, written on the envelope and posted it back to my letterbox. even an injunction did not stop him. should pro—life supporters be banned from standing outside abortion centres and urging women to change their mind? the government is considering whether there should be so—called buffer zones surrounding clinics.

leila nathoo visits one clinic in london to hear whether the right to freedom of expression has crossed over into intimidation. this is an abortion clinic in west london. anti—abortion activists have been campaigning outside it for yea rs been campaigning outside it for years but should they be allowed to? tell me a better place i could go to try to convince people not to do this. staff at the mary stopes clinic have been collecting examples of what they say is intimidating behaviour. this is the log that we have kept. any time a patient comes in and has had a difficult time outside with the protester and is happy for us to record that. here is

an entry, client distressed but being approached by protester, would not allow her to pass. became tearful after being called a murderer. it's notjust happening in london. kitty had a similar experience in manchester when she had an abortion last year. what were their tactics? they would justify their tactics? they would justify their behaviour by saying were not breaking any laws or shouting or upsetting people but they are. i didn'tjust upsetting people but they are. i didn't just wake up upsetting people but they are. i didn'tjust wake up and say i wanted an abortion, i had to think about my future and how i wanted it to go, so for them to think that handing me a leaflet could change my mind is insulting, so it angers me but they do it peacefully so people think that's ok. in west london this councillor is trying to move people away from the clinic. i can see one by the entrants who will approach

anyone going into the clinic and try to change their mind about having an abortion. this debate isn't about to change their mind about having an abortion. this debat a isn't about to change their mind about having an abortion. this debat a woman's t g 2 al health care with g a group h care with g a group called with g a group called sisters anonymity. a group called sisters support has also set up a stand to show solidarity with women who come here and keep a record of what they say. we also saw someone holding a model foetus like this. we're not anti—religious in any way, we're not necessarily pro—abortion but we believe it is a woman's right to choose. but they also add to the crowd on the pavement. if you are approaching the clinic, there is some trepidation to see people standing outside the gate, i think its intimidating. i wanted to know why these anti—abortion activists felt they had this done right by the entrance. the obvious place to stand

to convince people what they are doing is wrong is outside where they are going. but isn't this harassing? how can it be harassing? harassment is when you really intimidate somebody and call them names. a lot of people would argue the presence of people would argue the presence of people would argue the presence of people outside the clinic is intimidating. this is a new interpretation of the word harassment, it's not in the dictionary. would you still feel you wa nted dictionary. would you still feel you wanted to do this if you had to go down the street? it's best to be in the area. babies are suffering. councillors in the area and around the country are now looking for ways to protect women going to abortion clinics. one option is to ban people gathering outside. members of this network offer support and claim

hundreds of women have supported it. women who felt they had no alternative and booked an abortion when they found they were pregnant have an alternative. so it wouldn't satisfy you to go be within 100 metres of a satisfy you to go be within100 metres of a clinic and offer prayers there? it would be a loss of help, some women wouldn't notice it and thatis some women wouldn't notice it and that is what clinics and protesters are hoping for so we would fight any means to limit our presence. this is not about whether abortion is right or wrong or whether people should protest but what people are doing here and whether that crosses the line into harassment. in a moment, a summary of the business news, but first, the headlines. inflation has increased to its highest level

in nearly six years — the consumer prices index rising to 3.1%. five people are being questioned by police over the suspected murder of three children who died in a house fire in salford. plans to change the rules on using people's organs after they die are being set out by the government in england. in the business news: as we just heard — inflation rose to 3.1% in november, the highest in nearly six years. that's been fuelled by more expensive food and transport. wages are lagging — only going up by 2.2%. the owner of westfield shopping centres is being bought for around £18.5 billion. it's being sold to the french company unibail rodamco, which already has 71 shopping malls around europe. the price of brent crude continues to rise after the closure of the forties oil pipeline in scotland after a crack was found. crude has been trading above $65 a barrel for the first time in more than two years.

some sobering news from the country's employers. according to a survey from the recruitment specialists manpower, employer confidence is at a low and the jobs market could be cooling off. james hick is the managing director of manpower and joins me now. why the gloom? i guess we had been feeling this slight slide in employer confidence and although the outlook is less confident than it has been, its not all doom and gloom. some sectors are not performing very well but others will performing very well but others will perform really strongly next year. performing very well but others will perform really strongly next yearlj understand we have quite a strong market overall, the jobs understand we have quite a strong market overall, thejobs market, unemployment at its lowest rate since around 1975 so what is the

cause of that lack of confidence? there is no doubt that brexit is having an effect on people's sentiment, their willingness and organisations' willingness to hire and invest and more uncertainty there is for business, that hold people back from making decisions but it's not all about brexit, there are other parts of the economy not performing well. you mentioned that there is this fear over what will happen with the exit from the eu. is that white london is especially hard—hit? that white london is especially hard-hit? london is the lowest performing region in the uk, its lowest since 2013 so that is a worrying sign. london has a third of all financial services and employment associated with it so when london isn't doing well and the wider south—east, it is a worry, and

up wider south—east, it is a worry, and up in the north we seem to see a more confident outlook. you mentioned earlier some of the upside is, what are they? the area we see in the sector that is likely to perform the most strongly from an employer perspective is that transport logistics area. traditionally that is a peak period but this is likely to continue for the first quarter of next year as you see a shortage of drivers, paid going up for drivers and that is a strong area, also the business services area, especially the west midlands remain strong. james, thank you forjoining us. in other business stories we've been following, apple has confirmed it's buying uk music recognition app shazam for £300 million. the app allows you to identify music by listening to just a few seconds of it. it's thought apple wants to combine the technology with its own software. carpetright has issued a profit warning

after profits for the first half of the year plunged 92% to £300,000. the company says full year profits will be at the lower end of expectations. comcast has pulled out of talks to buy sky's largest shareholder fox. it paves the way for fox to do a deal with disney. if that deal is done it could mean the murdoch family would no longer have any interest in sky in the uk. let's catch up with what the markets are doing. fall positive news there from the ftse100. big driver on the markets is thejump in oil prices. they spiked after the shutdown of a north sea pipeline because of a crack. it's above $65 a barrel. that rise is reflected in the shares of big energy companies — bp, shell and centrica which owns british gas — are all higher. sterling is slightly higher against the euro. that's it from me. the bad weather has been causing chaos across europe — where heavy snow has meant disruption for millions of people.

hundreds of flights were cancelled notjust here in the uk, but also in the netherlands, germany and belgium. and there was disruption in italy and france, where an atlantic storm took its toll. tim allman has the latest. for these passengers, it must have felt like the wait would never end. hundreds of flights cancelled at one of europe's busiest airports. six o'clock, i came. it is already 12 o'clock. we're still haven't reached the counter. we're still waiting. hopefully one more hour, i should be there. a similar story at heathrow. sunday's destruction causing a knock—on effect, hundreds of flight crews now in the wrong place come so hundreds more flights cancelled. in italy, it was the train network that seemed to bear the brunt. stranded passengers are given food at milan's central station. this was the rush hour in brussels. some roads were deserted,

but others where bumper—to—bumper. translation: it is a disaster. we got stuck here. i start work at ten o'clock. it is 10:38 and we are still blocked. for much of southern france, snow was not the problem. storm hanna was. winds of up to 150 kilometres per hour battering the atlantic coast. this dramatic weather has caused chaos and disruption across much of western europe, but for some, especially those who didn't have to go to school, it was an opportunity to have a little fun. and you can keep up to date with the latest disruption on our website. the american space agency, nasa, has been ordered by president trump to send astronauts back to the moon, and then to mars. the president said it would allow america to reclaim

what he called its destiny in space. the last time america sent astronauts to the moon was in 1972 on apollo 17. russell trott has the story. one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. ten words that came to encapsulate american 20th—century technological achievement. but since the first lunar landing in 1969, the dream of inhabiting the moon has largely been sidelined as too costly. now, donald trump and his vice president mike pence want to reignite america's space programme. this is very exciting and very important for our country. at a white house signing ceremony attended by former astronaut buzz aldrin and harrison schmitt, one of the last americans to walk on the moon 45 years ago, as well as current astronaut peggy whitson, who spent more time and space than any other american, the president said returning to the moon was just the beginning. this time, we will not only plant

our flag and leave our footprint, we will establish a foundation for eventual missions to mars and perhaps someday to many worlds beyond. nasa has sent an unmanned spacecraft to mars and wants to send another unmanned rover in 2020. they are planning to send humans by 2030. back injune, china announced plans to send a man to the moon. the trump administration hasn't revealed just how the new objective is to be achieved, and on what timescale. butjust as injuly 1969, one thing is sure, it won't be cheap. time for a look at the weather. -13 —13 last night was the lowest

temperature, it won't be as cold tonight but there is still the risk of some ice, it's still pretty frosty across many parts of the country can cover across east anglia and the south—east than it has been recently that we're seeing some changes across northern ireland, some outbreaks of rain and that is coming into the cold air sitting over the uk, this area of cloud responsible for the rain and possibly some snow, as it comes into the cold air it means the risk that wet weather on frozen surfaces so it could be icy. as the wet weather moves east we could see some snow in scotland, lifting onto the hills, but by 6pm we have dry weather back in northern ireland. notjust rain but hill snow for northern england, some wet weather coming into wales and the south west, temperatures lifting as the breeze picks up,

increasing cloud ahead of that but in the evening it still drive across much of eastern england and quite frosty with lying snow, so icy patches ahead of that rain that moves patches ahead of that rain that m oves a cross patches ahead of that rain that moves across all areas and then we get a westerly wind, the cloud will break up ahead of this wet weather to allow temperatures to dip close to allow temperatures to dip close to freezing and again bring the risk of ice in early tomorrow and probably the greatest risk of disruption will be across scotland and northern england. we will see some more wet weather tomorrow, a lot of cloud coming in the east and some outbreaks of rain, a little heavy at times, and behind it some sunshine coming from the north—west in the afternoon and showers, increasing the wintry in scotland and northern ireland. temperatures could be as high as nine or ten briefly across parts of southern england for wales but let's keep an

eye on the snow, falling in lower levels in scotland and northern england and wales before it pushes through as we head into thursday and the winds pick up, that will blow a mixture of sunshine and showers, those will be quite wintry with snow likely on the hills, temperatures dropping away, highs of seven or so across southern areas of england and wales and it gets colder on friday, fuller isobars all the way up to the arctic, colder air to arrive again on friday, not as cold as we saw in the past day but it will continue the past day but it will continue the risk of wintry showers and icy patches. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i am martine croxall. today at 2pm. squeeze on households, inflation climbs to 3.1%, its highest level in nearly six years. hundreds of schools remain closed because of the snow and ice

across much of the uk. five people are questioned by police over the suspected murder of three children who died in a house fire in salford. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with olly foster. more on the rumble in the tunnel. we have heard from the manchester city manager in the last few minutes. he says their celebrations at manchester united weren't over the top but he's not saying what sparked that post—match melee between the players. darren bett has all the weather. just how cold did it get last night?
