yes, it's now about finding the time and the date are getting it all organised. i think probably in the autumn sometime will be the sort of time everybody is looking at. but we can't fix a date yet, we've got to look at everybody‘s diaries. it is a bit more complicated than that. but today, it's their day and i'm just completely overjoyed for them and wish them every happiness. a charity says one in three young women in the uk are embarrassed to attend smear tests for cervical cancer because of issues with body image. jo's cervical cancer trust, which surveyed more than 2000 women aged between 25 and 35, said it was worried about the impact on screening rates, which have fallen to a 20—year low. the key finding that's come out is one in three women that we researched said that body image is a
1:40 pm
significant factor for not attending screening. that's a big concern. for those under 35 it's the most common cancer and if women are not getting screened them potentially their lives are put at risk. a 5a—year—old man, arrested after an eight—year—old girl was stabbed to death near walsall in the west midlands is understood to be her father. mylee billingham died in hospital after being found seriously injured on saturday evening. 0ur reporter, bob hockenull, is in walsall for us. bring us up—to—date with what the police are saying this lunchtime? well police and forensic teams have still been working at the house all morning looking for evidence. it was quarter past nine on saturday night when the emergency services were called here. sadly nothing could be done to save mylee who is eight. she suffered from stab wounds. the police also arrested a 5a—year—old man at the scene with the bbc
1:41 pm
understands to be herfather understands to be her father known locally as bill billingham. he had also suffered a stab wound to the stomach and is expected to undergo surgery. stomach and is expected to undergo surgery. a postmortem examination is due to be carried out this afternoon, meanwhile there has been afternoon, meanwhile there has been a steady stream of people bringing flowers to the scene. as you would expect this incident has shocked the whole community. mylee went to school at saint james ‘s primary which is a short distance from here. this morning her headteacher andy nicol is read out a statement paying tribute to her where he said we are all numb, we are all in shock. everyone in the school is devastated. he said mylee was dearly loved by everyone, her smile lit up the room and he said she had taken an active role in school activities particularly enjoying singing and performing. he ended the statement saying she was just a lovely little girl, our hearts go out to her family. the police say this was a
1:42 pm
tragic set of circumstances, they are treating it as a domestic incident. the sevilla at the early stages of understanding what exactly happened and why. but they have confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with this investigation. thank you. more than a million elderly people in the uk are suffering from malnutrition. that's according to a parliamentary report, seen exclusively by bbc news. the report says money given to wealthy pensioners to help pay their heating bills should be used instead to help tackle hunger among the elderly. john maguire reports. do you always manage to finish what we deliver to you? yeah. janet is receiving a check up—this morning from annabel martin, a nutritionist from the hertfordshire independent living service. 0k, and that's a slightly more than you were last time so that's absolutely fantastic. she is malnourished but today there is good news, she's putting on weight. malnourishment is defined
1:43 pm
as when the body doesn't get the nutrients it needs to function properly. a parliamentary report published today says it affects 1.3 million elderly people, but it's an estimate. the data comes from 2011 so it's calling for updated information. those who provide meals on wheels suspect it's a much bigger problem. well, we're dealing with malnutrition on a daily basis. we've done our own research screening clients when they first come to our meals on wheels service and we discover that aa% of them are malnourished to some extent. it seems crazy to me that hunger amongst the elderly is something which is still prevalent in this country. and the best guess for the cost of the problem is almost £12 billion and rising. partly about ageing population, maybe partly through poverty, more so because of isolation but none of that is a reason for the government not thinking more
1:44 pm
imaginatively how it might spend a very small part of the pensioner budget in a way which really meets people in dire need. turn it up a bit. the report makes several recommendations. they include taking winter fuel payments from the wealthiest pensioners to help fund community support. more meals on wheels, not only to provide food but also tackle isolation and loneliness. and an increased role from supermarkets to offer slower shopping lanes and lunch clubs for the in—store cafe. hello, ruth. ruth hasjust turned 91... hi, ruth. and still cooks for herself in the evening but has a daily lunch delivery. lemon chicken today. oh, that looks nice. 0n rice. that looks lovely. she is well nourished and enjoys the social contact. i can't grumble because they never miss, they always come every mortal day regardless of the climate
1:45 pm
and the weather. the report recognises that government and local authority budgets are under pressure but social services directors say their work needs proper funding. the money talked about in the report, in my view, would be significantly insignificant when we talk about the amount of money that's required to truly put social care on a sustainable footing. national governments across the uk say they're taking steps to tackle malnutrition and in england, for example, the care act makes sure that vulnerable people's needs are met by the local authorities. but today's report is a challenge to us all to do something about it. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first,
1:46 pm
the headlines on bbc news: six key figures in ukip resign in protest over henry bolton's decision not to step down as party leader. britain's military risks falling behind that of its enemies without extra money — a warning from the head of the british army in a rare public intervention. an ejector seat manufacturer admits breaching health and safety laws over the death of a red arrows pilot. i'm jamie robertson — in the business news: never mind brexit, the uk economy is on the move, and will do better than anyone expected, says lord o'neill, a former minister and a remain supporter. keir group has offered to take on more than 200 carillion workers as it takes over its contracts on smart motorway and high speed rail projects. it's also been reported that balfour beatty and galliford try will take on 80 carillion staff as they take over contracts on the aberdeen western peripheral route.

len mccluskey, general secretary of the union unite has had what he calls "encouraging" talks with the head of peugeot, carlos tavares in paris. peugeot has announced 650 job cuts at vauxhall‘s ellesmere port plant. mr mcclusky said mr tavares talked of "working with unite to construct a roadmap for future operations in the uk." "britain's economy should be prepared for a much more optimistic 2018". that's the view of lord jim o'neill, the former treasury minister. he supported britain remaining inside the european union and has been speaking to our economics editor kamal ahmed. in principle, i share the views of many that brexit is a really weird thing for the uk to impose on itself, from an economic perspective. but i quickly add at the same time, i have felt for a good couple of years, as important as brexit is, it isn't the most important thing facing britain's future. things like regional inequalities
1:48 pm
and the underlying and related productivity problems, much bigger issues. do you think now, with this global growth and possibility of productivity being better, the british economy is going to do far better than you expected a year and a half ago? i certainly wouldn't have thought the uk economy would be as robust as it currently seems. but, that is because it looks to me like some parts of the country, led by the north west, are actually doing way better than people seem to realise or appreciate. as well as this crucial fact, the rest of the world is doing way better than many people would have thought a year ago. so it makes it easierfor the uk. this week is big energy saving week, a national campaign to help consumers cut their fuel bills, save money and save energy. the energy saving trust, the department for business, energy and industrial strategy are all behind it. they are hoping to guide consumers
1:49 pm
through the different ways they can reduce energy consumption. they have held this week injanuray for the last four years. philip sellwood, chief executive of the energy saving trust. point out exactly what you're trying to achieve? to persuade people that it's really financially worthwhile to switch suppliers. the average person can save around £300 by switching supplier. so it's not too much about saving energy it's to do with saving money? it's about initially saving money but what we try to do is also put in a message about energy efficiency so people can save money and energy at the same time. you said it's all about switching, in a way it encourages competition but it doesn't encourage saving energy? what we find is as we
1:50 pm
get people more aware of the cost of energy switching is one means by which we can almost guarantee they will save money. it is a case that we find household to take part in the campaign start a look at their energy use and start to reduce energy use and start to reduce energy consumption. you have been holding this week for several years, does it work? it does, but i must point out there are still 35% of uk households who have not ever change their energy supplier. so we still have a way to go. how do you know if it works? we have done quite a lot of research, both with individual households and i can only cite myself, if i may. isupplier, electricity and gas and saved about £2a0 a year as a result. we have got pretty good evidence that it works. thank you very much indeed. the

financial conduct authority has launched a consultation on plans to give more small businesses access to the financial ombudsman service which follows a review of the protections available to small and medium—sized enterprises. at the moment only individual consumers and micro—emperor prizes can access the ombudsman if they are in dispute but they believe many smaller businesses within the groups struggle to do so in practice. shares in bookmakers have tumbled this morning. it's to do with a possible change in the rules on the maximum stakes you can put on fixed—0dds betting terminals. the limit is £100 now. the government says it wants it below £50. now the sunday times is reporting they could be cut to just £2. dixons carphone says profits won't be as good as they had hoped — £385 million tops, not the £a00 million some had expected. chief executive sebjames blamed poor boxing day sales, but he did say even if sales were weak, the company is still holding on to market share.

amazon is opening its first supermarket without checkouts — human or self—service — on monday. how does it work? it uses ceiling—mounted cameras and electronic sensors. it spots each customer, tracks what they take out the store, and bills their credit cards as they leave. called amazon go it's not yet in a store near you — just san francisco — but, give it time. let's look at the markets. particularly these two, ladbrokes down 8.5%, bojan held down 11%, its all the effect of this story, it's not white, but just a story that the state in a fixed betting terminal could be reduced to £2 which would really affect those companies profits. that's the business for now. more

later. just a day before the oscar nominations are announced, gary oldman has cemented his status as the one to watch, after being awarded ‘best actor‘ at the screen actors guild awards. he was recognised for his portrayal of winston churchill in darkest hour. the screen actors guild awards, are voted on purely by actors, and gave the chance for some of entertainment‘s biggest stars to once again voice their concerns over sexual misconduct allegations and the issue of equality. from los angeles, peter bowes reports. an awards season like no other. rarely has a single issue dominated talk on the red carpet like the sexual harassment scandal and the ‘me too' and ‘time's up' movements. but this is hollywood's response to months of revelations about some of its most prominent figures. for these women to have these stories now out and being told is so important. to keep reiterating we believe you, we are listening to you, and we are doing what we can to change it. for the first time in its history,
