press c0 nfe re nce andy murray will have wanted this press conference to be about his return and recovery. his body was telling him otherwise. one of the sport's steely as the characters forced to take a break from the questions. he came back, he always does. andy murray, does that mean this might be your last tournament? yes, ithink... yes, i think... i think there's... there's a chance of that, yes, for sure. yes, there's a chance of that, for sure, because... yes, like i said, i'm not sure. i'm not sure i am able to... to play through the pain, you know, for another four

am able to... to play through the pain, you know, foranotherfour or five months. it has been caused by a lifetime's exertion. incredible strength, mental, physical and emotional, which won him the 2013 wimbledon title, ending a 77 year wait that had become a national accession. murray won it again three yea rs accession. murray won it again three years later, the same year he won his second olympic gold medal. but a 2017, the problems with his hip were obvious. despite surgery, here, finally, was his limit. one last wimbledon now his last goal. is i think i think i can get through this and to wimbledon. that is where i would like to... that's where i would like to... that's where i would like to stop, stop playing. but i'm also not certain unable to do that. murray's plan may succumb to the pain. one of britain's

reddest sportsman will summon the energy to play agut next week in melbourne. it may be the last time we see him on a tennis court. around 15,000 families with three or more children will not have their universal credit capped, in another government u—turn on the benefit payment. the new work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, recently accepted there were problems with the system, as our political correspondent nick eardley reports. the government's flagship benefit reform has been controversial, dogged by delays in its rollout. opponents of universal credit say it has left some worse off, and forced others to use food banks to make ends meet. the new work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, has pledged to listen concerns. i know that there are problems with universal credit, despite its good intentions. i've seen them for myself. i will be listening and learning from the expert groups in this area who do such good work. i know it can be better.

today, she will set out how she intends to address some of them. plans to extend the policy which limits benefits claims to two children will be scrapped. they will still apply to children born after april 2017, but not to those born before. plans to move 3 million people onto universal credit have been delayed. instead, 10,000 will be moved so the government can study the impact. and a pilot scheme will look at more frequent payments, after complaints some were being left short. amber rudd says universal credit does work for the majority of people, but she will acknowledge today it needs to offer flexibility. her opponents say the measures announced don't go far enough, and have called on her to scrap the two—child benefit cap completely. nick eardley, bbc news. if you are thinking of starting the new year by going on a diet, a major review has confirmed that eating food high in fibre reduces the risk of heart attack,

stroke and other diseases. the study published in the lancet is a review of research going back almost a0 years. here is our health correspondent jane dreaper. the researchers say eating more fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and whole grains and brea kfast seeds, and whole grains and breakfast cereals, breads and pastor, is linked to lower weight, low pressure and cholesterol levels, and it helps protect against illnesses such as bowel cancer —— pasta. adults in the uk are recommended to eat 30 g of fibre a day, but only 9% of us manage that. two thick slices of wholemeal toast provide about a fifth of the total. so how do you eat more fibre? you could choose a higherfibre brea kfast could choose a higherfibre breakfast cereals such as plain wholewheat diskettes, opt for wholemeal bread and whole grains like round white, and make sure you eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables each day —— brown rice. the world health organization

asked for this review ahead of new global guidelines about diet. low carb diets have become popular in recent yea rs, carb diets have become popular in recent years, but experts have warned that today's work shows people trying these could end up missing out on fibre from whole grains. new research suggests that an increasing number of secondary schools in england are in deficit. a report by the independent think—tank the education policy institute says that a third of secondaries were overspent by the end of the last financial year. here is our education correspondent frankie mccamley. rising school bills, including teachers' pay and pension cost, mean the amount being spent on pupils in england has gone down since 2010, and outside the classroom, parents are increasingly being asked to pay for extras, so head teachers are feeling the pressure. which led to thousands of them marching through westminster last september, protesting against budget cuts. some schools are managing to keep their

heads above water, but a report has found increasing numbers are falling into the red, with one in three local authority secondary schools 110w local authority secondary schools now unable to cover their cost, a sharp increase in recent years, and half of secondary academies spending more than they have coming in. the report also found, while some schools are struggling with budget deficits, others do have a surplus. there are some schools, some of them primary schools, some of them secondary schools, that have done the right thing. they've put the money aside maybe for special project that they've got, maybe because they know that there will be some staff shortages and they will have to take people on from a supply agency. that is a good thing to be able to do. so we need to notjump to conclusions because some schools have surpluses. the biggest story coming out of today is there is not enough funding for education. the government argues that schools spending is rising and while it recognises the budget challenges schools face, it says overall, standards are still going up.

children with mental health conditions are being failed by the nhs, according to an influential committee of mps. the department for health insists it has made children and young people's mental health services its key priority as part of the nhs‘s longterm plan. but the commons public accounts committee says ministers must increase staff numbers, as recruitment has progressed more slowly than planned. we have yet to see how the nhs plan will really work for young people with mental health problems. it is at the moment top—level ambitions. what we need to see is real resulting in schools, as well as in the nhs. we need to see support so that young people can get a quick diagnosis, or indeed better preventative works. they don't need the heavy mental health support later on in their lives. the winner of the bbc music sound of 2019 is octavian, a 23—year—old rapperfrom london who was previously homeless as a teenager. the award goes to performers who have never had a top—ten hit, and aims to boost the profile of new music talent. previous winners include adele and sam smith.

here is our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. meet octavian. a rapper who grew up in south london and who is one of music's most exciting new talents. the 23—year—old, who was once a homeless teenager on the capital's streets, says he is overwhelmed to top the sound of 2019 list. a year ago, i was like, i was poor. i was i had no money. so to have, like... to be nominated for, like, the bbc sound poll, and to win it, like... it is amazing. it is crazy, it's crazy. he follows in the footsteps of previous winners like sam smith and adele. octavian is hopeful that

his music's message can help inspire younger people, who have also had problems in their lives. a lot of my music from then until now has been about poverty, and making it out of poverty. because that is what i was going through, so my message then was, like, just to believe in yourself, and anything is actually possible, because i've lived it. lived that polite. his win means his music will now reach a much wider audience, and perhaps lead to even greater success audience, and perhaps lead to even greater success throughout 2019 and beyond. i think we are all really sad this morning about the andy murray news, we? we are shocked, in a way. well, not completely shocked, because i went to bed last night knowing he was going to speak in melbourne, and i was thinking he didn't look right against novak djokovic in that practice match. exactly, 6-1, 4-1.

but he was so far off the pace, so far off the mark. he has a tough first round draw in the australian open. but he may struggle to get through that, but the rest of the year could have been about his comeback, a bit like novak djokovic. the same age, 31, could he get back to his best? and then you hear that it really is as bad as him thinking not only may he not make wimbledon, but this could be his last tournament. and he has always been a person, not just tournament. and he has always been a person, notjust a sports person, who wears his heart on his sleeve. the emotions have always been very close to the surface of the man. that is one thing that really changed once he became wimbledon champion. before that people accused him of being a bit shy, a bit quiet, but after that, him going up to his mum in the stands, and the tears then, he lived his emotions through then, he lived his emotions through the public, didn't he, in a way, and he was very open. the tributes are starting to come in and obviously

the news came in overnight. on twitter overnight still quite limited, but andy roddick responded, saying i could make up to andy murray, an real results in a brutal era. ijust hope he can finish strong and healthy. —— unreal results. he is the man who enabled british tennis fans to dream again, winning three grand slams and two wimbledon titles. but due to his hip injury, he has only played four matches in the last 18 months, and after appearing way short of proper fitness in a practice match against novak djokovic this week, there were fears about his longterm future in the sport. now we know he fears he may struggle to get past the australian open, which starts on monday. away from our main story this morning, spanish police have arrested 15 people after a year—long investigation into match—fixing in tennis. police say 28 of the 83 people implicated are professional players, including one who played in last year's us open. juventus are currently leading the race to sign arsenal and wales midfielder aaron ramsey.

ramsey's contract is due to end this summer, but it is thought that juventus are his preference at the moment. the man himself has yet to make a decision, and will consider offers from more leading european clubs. and west ham insist marko arnautovic is not for sale, despite interest from an unnamed chinese club. we will have plenty more in the papers ina we will have plenty more in the papers in a moment, which seemed to really reflect what was happening around andy murray, even though a lot of them were printed before the news of his impending retirement came out. thank you. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a case of, we are used to it 110w it is a case of, we are used to it now weatherwise, but lots of cloud over the next few days. into this weekend, we stick with the mild theme unlike other parts of europe and turning increasingly windy. the rest of the sunny breaks as we go

into the weekend, like today, going into the weekend, like today, going into eastern areas. we have seen plenty of cloud built around this high—pressure system. we are pending with these weather front sweeties this area where we have the weather conditions. most places completely frost free. conditions warm up over the south—east. patchy rain or drizzle over wales and the south—east. a few showers over scotland. lots of cloud around, especially in the west, best of any brea ks especially in the west, best of any breaks into eastern areas where we have sunshine. the winds today fairly light and temperatures are notch up above where they should be this time of year at around 8— 11 degrees. this represents a slightly milder that theme. other parts of europe have got the cold weather. temperatures well below freezing and in those really badly hit areas around the alps, particularly austria, no snow coming to light and we could see another metre— two metres to snow in one or two areas. the problems there ongoing. no snow

frost tonight. outbreaks of rain pools across scotland and northern ireland tonight and meant a little bit. -- ireland tonight and meant a little bit. —— outbreaks of rain push across. could be a touch of frost here and there across parts of eastern scotland that most frost free into the start of the weekend. like this this morning, patchy rain 01’ like this this morning, patchy rain or drizzle across the southern areas and then brightening up but after a dry enough start in the north of the uk, this is where we will see cloud increase and turning wet across western scotland, parts of northern ireland, north—west england and northwest wales later in the day. temperatures higher than today's values. the breeze picks up further into sunday. high pressure still close by but not close enough to stop these weather fronts pushing their way southwards. bringing a few showers across parts of england and wales to start sunday but then a lot more sunshine i think on sunday across southern and eastern areas depend —— compare to today and tomorrow. scotland will continue to see showers pushing but here and eastern areas we will see gale force

winds up to 50 mph. temperatures still for many in double figures. where is the cold air? it isn't1 million miles away. it is across europe at the moment. looking at the temperature forecast for leeds into next week, parts of the uk, all notice how to bridges are most likely going to drop away the second half of the week —— temperatures. cold air will be in place for the next weekend and the end of the month as well. no guaranteed to snow but certainly looking cold as we go into next week and paid with this weekend. back to you both. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian has one of our main stories on its front page — the world health organization review that suggests that eating high levels of fibre reduces the likelihood of heart disease and early death. the photo shows people in the democratic republic of congo celebrating after election results yesterday. looking at what would you can do

give you increase the fibre in your diet. we all looking at not eating carbs, not eating father. we will have a look. and finally, the financial times leads with the news that 11,500 job cuts will be made at the uk's largest carmaker, jaguar land rover. over the day, ford and honda are coming out with announcement as well. a lot of questions of out, you

know, obviously, in relation to brexit and the rest of the car industry. there are announcements about the factories. they are looking to enable themselves to have that week it was they don't know what going to happen. a week to handle any change. the supply chain. if there are breaks in the supply chain, they can't get it all together. the british car industry has been successful because everything comes in on time and goes out on time perfectly. getting to that in half—an—hour. a couple of headlines in the business world. mark ashley, debenhams, kicking off again. after the horrendous sales results yesterday morning, there was an annual general meeting where people vote for the board. mike ashley volk —— overload of shares in debenhams and they voted off the chairman and the cheek of —— chief executive from the board. and there

is loads of stuff going on in the tech world over in lost vegas. what else do you want when it comes to smart living? do you want a smart mirror to tell you if you look sleep deprived? i don't need that. terrifying when you listen back. a bit of snoring going on, a bit of chatting. would it put you to sleep listening to you sleeping? you start worrying about the things you do in your sleep and it keeps you awake even more. listening to yourself sleep? there are ways of wasting time, but.... sleep? there are ways of wasting time, but. . .. the sleep? there are ways of wasting time, but.... the timing sleep? there are ways of wasting time, but. . .. the timing of the andy

murray story overnight. the male, they report and he's last day of his career they report and he's last day of his career could be monday. there are lots of pictures of him looking despondent so maybe people knew there was a big announcement coming after that match against novak djokovic, the practice match, he looked despondent because of the way he was so far off the pace and in fa ct, he was so far off the pace and in fact, we talk about andy murray's sense of humour not being appreciated. he went to apologise to fans afterwards. sorry i didn't give you much entertainment there, due at some tickets for my first australian open game. he gave them tickets. ——do you want. open game. he gave them tickets. --do you want. we will talk more about that. you might have seen a bit about this. this is a pantomime. it is in chippenham. jack and the beanstalk, produced by ooh aah productions. it had just three actors in it and apparently none of them could sing or dance. it ran for three performances and all of the

people had the money given back to them. it was awful, said natalie. there were only three people. no scenery. they couldn't sing or dance. at one point, they were talking to voices in the wings as they ran out of people. apparently they ran out of people. apparently the venue has apologised and that company are investigating the matter. it sounds like a must watch! should we go outdoors? get a bit of fresh air? the biggest ever review into england's national parks is taking place, 70 years after they were first created. the peak district was one of the first areas to be given protected status — brea kfast‘s tim muffett is there this morning.

iam in i am in the peak district, some 500 square miles. we have come to a lovely pa rt square miles. we have come to a lovely part about 12 miles from chesterfield. we are talking about this review is to england's national park. what can be done to improve them and help visitor numbers. are they pit —— fit for purpose for the zist they pit —— fit for purpose for the 21st century? let's have a reminder about the story of our national parks. what should be made into national parks, mountains, laws, they should be protected. by the 1940s, following decades of industrialisation covered the national parks campaign was getting louder. inspired by the likes of your sanity in california, and a national park in south africa. ——

yosemite. we have none, why? the first four national parks were designated. the peak district, the la ke designated. the peak district, the lake district, snowdonia and dartmoor. since then, the list has grown. there are now ten national parks in england, three and wales and two in scotland. as will as 46 areas of outstanding natural beauty across the uk. but the review is currently assessing how national parks in england meet our needs in the 21st—century. should there be more of them? should more be done to support those who live and work in them? 70 support those who live and work in them ? 70 years support those who live and work in them? 70 years on from the legislation that created national parks, the question is how best to secure their future. it's a bit cold out there so we've come inside. we are talking to a localfarmer in a moment come inside. we are talking to a local farmer in a moment and julian glover, you are putting this report

together, aren't you? why do our national parks need to be reviewed? as you just heard, it 70 years since they were created. we are at the very first here in the peak district. hugely popular, lots of visitors but the pressure has changed. 70 years ago, our country was a very different place and we need to make sure we look after the people who live in the parks and winnie to help visitors, everybody who can come in in britain. ——we need. we need to make sure all the people in sheffield know the park is for them and increasingly, we need to look after nature, it is really under pressure in modern britain after lots of development and lots of changes. we can do better than we do. we can protect them from another 70 years. now, you live and work in a national park which sounds you delete but what are the challenges? i think the youngsters need housing facilities —— idyllic. the villagers themselves have become sort of like

retirement villages. we need the vibrancy of youth to create new opportunities. people often don't think about the restrictions on building. people don't think about it. there is a real pressure on housing young people and we need to address that. thanks ever so much. we'll be talking more a little later. this review is due to be published in the autumn and as we heard, a lot of things you wouldn't normally think about like the restrictions of living within what isa restrictions of living within what is a beautiful, stunning area. a lot of things coming up a little later andi of things coming up a little later and i will hand back to you now from the peak district. have a good morning. we will have coffee to warm up. what a glorious way to spend a morning. quite envious. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news,

here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: in a dramatic and tearful press conference overnight, andy murray has announced his intention to retire from tennis. speaking in melbourne, the former world number one, who has been struggling with a hip injury, said he hopes to bow out after wimbledon, but that he could be in too much pain to continue playing following the melbourne grand slam. andy, does that mean this might be your last tournament? um...yeah, ithink...

i think there's — there's a chance of that, yeah, for sure. yeah, there's a chance of that, for sure, because — yeah, like i said, i'm not sure. i'm not sure i'm able to — to play through the pain, you know, for another four or five months. around 15,000 families with three or more children will not have their universal credit capped, in another government u—turn on the benefit payment. the two—child limit came into effect in april 2017, but did not initially apply to claimants whose children were born before that date. the exemption was due to end next month, but will now continue. we should be eating more fruit and vegetables, as well as plenty of nuts and seeds, after the benefits of a high—fibre diet were confirmed by a major review. foods which are high in fibre also include wholegrain breakfast cereal, bread and pasta, and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and other diseases. the study published in the lancet is a review of research going back almost a0 years.

new research suggests that an increasing number of secondary schools in england are in financial deficit. a report by the independent think—tank the education policy institute says that a third of secondaries were overspent by the end of last year. the government insists that spending on pupils is rising. children with mental health conditions are being failed by the nhs, according to an influential committee of mps. the commons public accounts committee says more staff are needed, as recruitment hasn't progressed quickly enough. the government insists it has made children and young people's mental health services its key priority. the winner of the bbc music sound of 2019 is octavian, a 23—year—old rapperfrom london who was previously homeless as a teenager. the 23—year—old began to attract wide attention after high—profile musicians began sharing his music on social media. the award goes to performers who have never had a top—ten hit, and aims to boost the profile of new music talent. previous winners include adele and sam smith. so look out for octavian. making an

enormous assumption that i am not familiar with him. acu nodding along to the tune. do you know what, he was nodding and confusion —— icu. do you know what, he was nodding and confusion —— icu. and you are going to talk us through a dramatic event last night, all of the tennis players are doing these press c0 nfe re nces , the tennis players are doing these press conferences, and we saw this unfold. that long silence, and you

really felt what murray was going through, probably because it was dawning on him as much as the rest of us that this will not be his comeback year like many of us were hoping, a bit like novak djokovic has done at the same age, 31. with andy murray, the hip injury is a different story, and is it the beginning of the end, or the end could be in the next couple of weeks in terms of his playing career at the australian open. there are so many thoughts, i think the reason that we engage so much with him is that we engage so much with him is that we engage so much with him is that we have gone through this emotionaljourney that we have gone through this emotional journey with that we have gone through this emotionaljourney with him, where he was so emotionaljourney with him, where he was so reserved and shy, and he has learnt to cope with the media and be more connected with fans, and we have embraced that with him. more connected with fans, and we have embraced that with himm more connected with fans, and we have embraced that with him. it has been a rollercoaster, when he almost got there in 2012, finally got there in 2013, and all the success since then, a world number one, of course, at one point. of course, there has been a lot of reaction to the news online. former world number one andy roddick shared his disbelief. really recognising his contribution

on and off the court. well, the british women's number one player, johanna konta, says she cannot imagine the sport without murray, and sympathises with the way injury is potentially curtailing his career. if he is unable to retire on his own terms and is forced to retire, i think that is something that no athlete wants to be put through. so i think everyone has a lot of compassion and a lot of... yes, a lot of sadness for him, if he is being put into that decision with his hip. so, i mean... yes, honestly, i think ijust can't imagine the sport without him, to be honest, because he hasjust been there all the time. that reaction coming in in the last half—hour from australia. murray himself was in tears as he spoke to journalists in melbourne earlier today, revealing he may not play on beyond this austrlian open. we can speak now to times reporter stuart fraser, who was at the press conference.

talk us through the reaction in the room when it became clear what murray was saying. what was it like, then? what was the reaction around you from fellow journalists when it became clear what murray was a? good morning, it was quite emotional, actually. we had suspected it was going to come to this point eventually. it has been an ongoing saga now for 18 months. murray has gone through rehab, surgery, more reconditioning, in philadelphia, with a world—renowned expert, but sadly it hasn't worked. that was evident yesterday when he practised with novak djokovic. you know, he has fallen so far behind his great rival, it was difficult to watch. so a press c0 nfe re nce rival, it was difficult to watch. so a press conference was scheduled for this morning. we were told he wasn't going to pull out of the tournament, and he is still in it at the moment, of course, but he came in and he was asked one question. how are you feeling, how is the hip? he said not

great, broke down in tears and then had to leave the room and compose himself before coming back. it was all very sad. gosh, it must be one of those moments in the room where it must have just gone silent. and then as it became clear, what is your own feeling? will this be his last tournament, as he has hinted at? yes, it is quite hard to say, because andy has put in so much into his rehab, to try and get back to a level to compete with the world's best players, and he is realising now he is not capable of doing it. he is still going to play his match here, afterwards he will make the decision. can he continue on for four or five decision. can he continue on for four orfive more months, get to wimbledon, and have what would be fitting swa nsong ? wimbledon, and have what would be fitting swansong? that would be nice, at least, obviously very sad that he has the call an end to his career that he has the call an end to his career at 31, he will be 32 by the time wimbledon comes along, but at least there he can say farewell in a decent way. if he wasn't to make

wimbledon, again, it would just be so wimbledon, again, it would just be so sad. it is going to be hard, though. he is really struggling with the pain. he said today that he is struggling to put his socks on the morning, it is that. itell you, one of the things we were talking about is the extreme length that athletes these days have to go to, and he made very clear that he has got a child. he wants to be running around with his child now, so this new operation that he could perhaps have doesn't guarantee that he will play more, but he can think about life after tennis, as well. yes, he has got a couple of options in terms of trying to restore his body back to a decent level of normality. he can have a hip replacement, which he is considering, after he finishes playing, or he can have what he terms is a more playing, or he can have what he terms is a more severe playing, or he can have what he terms is a more severe operation, in which you don't have to necessarily replace the hip, but you more resu rfa ce replace the hip, but you more resurface it. and yes, he doesn't wa nt to resurface it. and yes, he doesn't want to be limping around with his

children, you know, as they grow older. he said actually, today, that he wants to do things like play five a side football with his mates, go and play a round of golf, go and play 18 holes. you know, we have seen play 18 holes. you know, we have seenin play 18 holes. you know, we have seen in recent years respect, you know, he had some injury problems, and he has been limping around, and the shadow of the player he once was, in, when he was diving around the court at wimbledon. and i'd be very sad if andy was to go that way. but he is thinking about the future beyond tennis, and trying to restore his body to normality. we have to leave it there, i can see you are as moved as the rest of us. thank you very much indeed for your time this morning. it is funny you are saying about boris becker, remember so vividly, it might have been last year when boris came in to see us in the studio here, and he could barely walk. his particular problem was in his ankle, i think, in his foot. the toll it takes on these guys. andy

roddick mentioned the brutal injuries. manchester united caretaker boss ole gunnar solskjaer says the speculation around tottenham manager mauricio pochettino is there for a reason. solskjaer has won his first five games whilst in charge, but pochettino is still considered the favourite to replace jose mourinho as united manager in the long term. that speculation is... is a reason, because he has done well. but then again, it's not myjob to rate all the different managers. it is... my focus is on me and my team. juventus are currently leading the race to sign arsenal and wales midfielder aaron ramsey. ramsey's contract is due to end at the end of this season, and although it is thought his preference at the moment is to join the italian champions, he is yet to make a decision and will continue to consider offers from a number of europe's leading clubs, including paris st—germain. arsenal manager unai emery praised ramsey's attitude despite the speculation surrounding his future. they are changing the name

on the manager's office at stoke again. just over a year ago they were a premier league club under mark hughes. they've had three managers since then. the latest is this man, nathan jones. this is the biggestjob of his career but he was unusually honest about how hard it's been leaving his old club, luton town. the amount of text messages i've had from players already, they sent me good stuff, and things. when i think about it, it makes the emotional, because i have had a good time you. i was married to the club. but the natural progression from me, this was the right step. it is a calculator gamble, but it is the right step from me. plenty more on andy murray to come. i will dig plenty more on andy murray to come. iwilldig up plenty more on andy murray to come. i will dig up more reaction which is just coming in, i am sure. if your home is one of those with a combined tv and broadband package, and you've had the same supplier for quite some time, you could be overpaying by as much as £700 a year. many customers also pay for their phone line as part

of their bundle, but are being penalised for their loyalty. let's talk to consumer telecoms analyst dan howdle. good morning to you. good morning. there is an eye watering figure in amongst what we just read there. worse off by up to £700 a year. the irony is that it is actually the product, we are a very healthy broadband market in the uk, there are countries around the world where you have one or two providers, the united states is notorious for having a duopoly in that respect. one of the aspects is the enticement deals, and one of those things is in the shorter term, over the first 12 months of the contract, to actually offer what they consider to be a discount price. so a lot of the prices that you see advertised to entice you into the deal, £20, £25 a month for what seems like very fast rabanne, perhaps

month for what seems like very fast ra banne, perhaps £35 month for what seems like very fast rabanne, perhaps £35 a month with tv donald then, —— very fast broadband. --tv donald then, —— very fast broadband. —— tv bundled in. so maybe you have a set—top box, annual programmes recorded. we're often told, as consumers, it is your own fault if you don't switch, for insurance providers or electricity, utility providers. in this case, it involves a whole new box, a whole new system, reconnecting your tv, it seems like a lot more hassle to do that. is that what these companies... because it is not just that what these companies... because it is notjust one company we are looking at. it is of them that have been shown we are overpaying if we are loyal. i think it is especially the case if you are subscribing to broadband and tv together. if you are subscribing to tv, chances are you are with urgent or sky, they will put a satellite dish on the side of your house —— virgin. there isa side of your house —— virgin. there is a fact virgin will run a cable

into your house, and of course, the equipment they provide you, people can become quite attached to. bye for now. i have been with my supplierfor maybe three years. what do i say on the phone this morning? i want a better deal. if you are currently paying for tv, the sake sky and virgin, you have got to be realistic about what your alternatives are. it used to be that sky in particular was difficult to haggle with because it knew that no—one could really offer you a service that competes. on the whole, the evidence, if somebody wants the same service but wa nts to somebody wants the same service but wants to pay less, on the whole, are they going to come out of that phone call with a better deal? it's a bit annoying, isn't it? i would say, you

know, on the whole, you are going to find that if you've been with them for a very long time then you are going to find that you usually would get some kind of traction and result that you want. it is a good —— thing to make yourself familiar with the competing services. blair it will literally show you that you can vote with your feet. they will call your bluff on it. if you are with virgin media and you have a fast broadband, it you will see will go elsewhere because you can't compete with it. it will be interesting to see what people think at home. i know lots of people think at home. i know lots of people who have tried it, i've tried it and it doesn't work. for the same reasons, various providers. they know you are stuck and one part of

that service is better than everyone else. we want to hear about people paying £100 less. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. you always get a good deal with matt, i think. you always get a good deal with matt, ithink. i you always get a good deal with matt, i think. i think you might be disappointed again. it is friday morning. the end of the week, heading into the weekend. it is maybe winter. some parts of europe struggling along but we stay on the mild side. today, often large amounts of cloud around. quite a grey day today. pushing a little bit further southwards and westwards away from us. that will let the cloud toppled in. with the thicker cloud toppled in. with the thicker cloud across southern england, wales, this morning, we have lied rain or drizzle. a few showers throughout the day in the far north and west of scotland. most of us

will be dry with large amounts of cloud, grey, best of any breaks towards the east. across the board, the winds aren't strong. the temperatures are close to, if not, just above where they should be for this time of year. it is of course a quiz —— complete contrast to what we have seen quiz —— complete contrast to what we have seen across quiz —— complete contrast to what we have seen across europe. you can quiz —— complete contrast to what we have seen across europe. you can see that have seen across europe. you can see that elude in the chart where temperatures will stay below freezing all day today. the same areas badly hit by snow, austria and germany, could see more snow today. it could amount up to a metre or two metres of fresh and though for a snow for us tonight, it is rain the forecast, pushing across scotland and into the second half of the night showers through northern england, north wales and into the north midlands. either side of that, there will be clear skies with patchy drizzle. temperatures are bit lower than last night. but like today, tomorrow morning in the far south, occasionally in and

lightening up through the day. further north, after some bright weather in the morning, lots of cloud in the afternoon. western scotland, north—west england, northwest wales, could see outbreaks of rain. averages 9— 10 degrees. staying with those mild north—westerly winds as we go to sunday that the isa bras getting closer in the chart. —— isobars. a few showers across the south initially but a lot more search —— showers around on sunday. the showers around on sunday. the showers keep going across parts of northern scotland and temp which is asked deal around 10— 12 degrees. that's how would —— that is how it is looking. it was a sobering day for the british car industry yesterday with a set of negative headlines. the of negative headlines. industry, how is it reacting? yesterday the industry, how is it reacting? yesterday morning, we knew that jaguar and land rover will be

announcing lots of job jaguar and land rover will be announcing lots ofjob cuts. it came in later in the day. we had ford and honda also talking. let's start off with jaguar land rover and what they actually said. 11.5 thousand jobs to go forjaguar and land rover across their business worldwide. the vast majority of those will be in the uk. management, administration. £2.5 million worth of cuts win you had to be put in place by the business. this is a confirmation of how they we re this is a confirmation of how they were going to do it. those people whose jobs are were going to do it. those people whosejobs are on were going to do it. those people whose jobs are on the line, a horrendous day yesterday. we have heard about the reasons why. they sell load of cars to china and there has been a consumer slowdown. we know about the reputation of diesel. and also brexit, there has been questions about no deal particularly, what might happen to their business on the back of it. their boss yesterday gave us a bit

more information on. we are producing around 3000 vehicles, in the uk, daily. and also even more engines for the global demand. that means anita cobby 5 million part everyday. —— means anita cobby 5 million part everyday. — — i means anita cobby 5 million part everyday. —— i need 25 million. fair for, we have two know how this brexit deal will be orchestrated to be flexible and agile to work accordingly. we also went on to talk about the viability of the business. it might be at risk if there is no deal and they can't get the parts into the factories on time quick enough to be able to make that cars quick enough to get them out and sell enough to make enough money. but the difference, what with the difference with jaguar land rover compared to all the other carmakers? with the prospect of no deal... the problems they have got a not

entirely because of brexit issues. they are not as big a car company as safe for all honda or bmw, for example. they are going to be more effect did, they have had a brilliant a few years, they will be a bit more sensitive to any major moves going on around the world which is what is happening a little bit. ford and honda are talking. massive global business. in europe, they have not been doing well for a very long period of time. their market share, their strength in europe has been deteriorating for yea rs europe has been deteriorating for years and years and years and it has not been profitable. they have had to make business —— big decisions. there will be our restructuring, thousands of jobs there will be our restructuring, thousands ofjobs will go and we haven't got anything like what we haven't got anything like what we have from jaguar and land rover. but big plant in the uk, talk of some of

thejob big plant in the uk, talk of some of the job cuts big plant in the uk, talk of some of thejob cuts being in the uk at some point. will they be in production? we are not too sure yet but again, with brexit, nothing is off the table. they say that if there is no deal, we will have to reassess everything. honda gave a simple story which was to do with brexit. a said we need a six—day production shutdown of our factory in the uk where we make a civic and honda. just to make sure almost as a backup, whatever disruption there is, it will give us a few days after we leave the european union to hand over all put pans —— plans in place. we will be talking about it a lot obviously. thank you very much. it is six minutes to seven. this is a handbrake turn. we will talk about moral and hardy now. regarded around the world is the greatest comedy act ever. many people have been inspired by their work and why they have perfected the art of slapstick, it

wasn't always a laugh a minute. a new film ‘stan and ollie' tells their story during the final throws of their career. i've been to meet its stars, john c reilly and steve coogan. congratulations because you have just been nominated for a bafta. it makes you wonder how these things work. it seems especially cool to separate these two guys. steve

doesn't feel conflicted at all.|j did feel conflicted for about 15 minutes but the thing is, it is odd because this really is, very few films are equally weighted. looking for a films are equally weighted. looking fora fair films are equally weighted. looking for a fair price for a laurel and hardy picture and you know it. we haven't got a dime. that is because you are a cheapskate. people will think, looking at you now, there is naturally some resemblance. the two a few sitting here now, two of you don't look at them that there is naturally a physical likeness. well, that was my real moustache that i was wearing. i had something in my teeth to shove myjaw out a little bit. oliver was curiously light on

his feet for a big man, wasn't he? people familiar with his physical comedy, he was incredibly gifted. the psychological gesture of working in opposition to your weight, pretending like you are gene kelly when in fact you are much bigger than gene kelly is a really interesting thing about all of our because in their performance, in our act, that is what he was constantly doing, striving for higher starters than he was, striving for a more romantic version of his life than he had, they were always being ambitious beyond their station. in a way that, that gesture of carrying yourself like a lighter man, it is another part of the joke. there was nothing slothlike about all of us. -- all nothing slothlike about all of us. —— all of us. —— secretary.

nothing slothlike about all of us. -- all of us. -- secretary. stamm carried on writing material is that there was a period of 45 years. —— sta n there was a period of 45 years. —— stan —— for all five years. leigh standard lived to work. —— stan lived to work and all —— oliver worked to live. start with the rest of stanley with the rest went oliver left the world. —— —— bereft. the likenesses they created is

outstanding. stan and ollie is out today. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm victoria hollins. the family of a fifteen—year—old girl who has been missing for a week are appealing for information about her. hannah lees is from wandsworth. she's thought to be in the brixton or stockwell area. she went missing on the 3rd of january after attending southside shopping centre. anyone with information is asked to contact the met police. the london air ambulance is looking to introduce a new life—saving technique of freezing the bodies of patients at the roadside. 30 years after it launched, the service is regarded as a world leader in treating patients before they get to hospital. as part of bbc london's behind the scenes look at the air ambulance, one doctor explains how the technology works. taking somebody‘s body temperature right the way down to 18 degrees or so if they are really,

really cold, holding the person there so they don't blood or oxygen going around the body and then getting to the operating team so they can fix the holes, fix the bits that are broken and then warm the patient back up, it's something that is really exciting and feasible. and you can watch the third part of our series on london's air ambulance on tonight's programme at six thirty. london's very first ‘borough of culture' will be officially launched tonight with a series of events in walthamstow. waltham forest beat boroughs across london who bid for the title last year. it's a city hall initiative to make culture a biggerfocus, and encourage communities to work together showcasing creative talent. 3.5 million pounds has been spent on the scheme so far. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube there are minor delays on the district line between upminster and earls court due to an earlier signal failure. on the roads: traffic building on the m4 in both directions on the brentford

elevated section. a lane is closed on a40 oxford street northbound at the junction with tottenham court road for pavement works. gunnersbury lane remains closed southbound at the junction with acton fire station for burst water main repairs. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. not feeling quite as cold as it was yesterday. some grey, drizzly, damp starts today but the temperature will fill a little bit more mild. it will continue as we head into the weekend. some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle first thing this morning but gradually that will clear away south. some brightness this afternoon, glimmers of sunshine here and there but still quite a bit of cloud still around. the wind still not quite as strong as yesterday so not as cold. maximum temperature between seven and eight celsius. overnight tonight, more cloud piling in from the north—west. the wind will also strengthen overnight as well which will lead into a very blustery weekend.

minimum temperature between three and five celsius. the saturday morning, will be a breezy start. you might get one or two outbreaks of rain ahead of it clearing south through the afternoon and temperatures over the week on the climb. for sunday, despite it being a windy day, we are getting up to 12 celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: and ear, does that mean that this might bea and ear, does that mean that this might be a last tournament? —— andy. an emotional andy murray announces his intention to retire from tennis. i'm not sure, um...

i'm not sure i am able to — to play through the pain, you know, for another four orfive months. the man who enabled british tennis to dream again by finally ending the wait for a men's wimbledon champion has been struggling with a hip injury, and fears next week's australian open could be his last tournament. another u—turn on universal credit. about 15,000 families will no longer face having their benefits capped. from the dourness at debenhams to the triumph at tesco. after hearing from our retailers all week, what is is that shoppers actually want? carbs are back on the menu. a world health organization review says eating more high—fibre food will cut the chance of early death. and milder areas back on the weather menu today and this weekend, but through the weekend it is set to get increasingly windy. i will have all the details right here on breakfast. it is friday 11 january. our top story: in a dramatic and tearful press conference overnight, andy murray has announced his intention

to retire from tennis. the 31—year—old says he plans to quit after this year's wimbledon, but fears next week's australian open could be the final tournament of his career. the former world number one, who has won three grand slam titles, is struggling to recover from hip surgery, as patrick geary reports. andy murray will have wanted this press conference to be about his return and recovery. his body was telling him otherwise — one of the sport's steeliest characters forced to take a break from the questions. he came back — he always does. andy, does that mean that this might be your last tournament? um...yeah, ithink...

i think there's — there's a chance of that, yeah, for sure. um...yeah, there's a chance of that, for sure, because — yeah, like i said, i'm not sure. i'm not sure i'm able to — to play through the pain, you know, for another four or five months. it has been caused by a lifetime's exertion — the incredible strength, mental, physical and emotional, which won him the 2013 wimbledon title, ending a 77—year wait that had become a national obsession. murray won it again three years later, the same year he won his second olympic gold medal. but by 2017, the problems with his hip were obvious. despite surgery, here, finally, was his limit, one last wimbledon now his last goal. i said to my team, look,

i think i can kind of get through this until wimbledon. that's where i'd like to... that's where i would like to stop, stop playing. but i'm also not certain i'm able to do that. murray's plan may succumb to the pain. one of britain's greatest sportsmen will summon the energy to play roberto bautista agut next week in melbourne. it may be the last time we see him on a tennis court. of course, there has been a lot of reaction to the news online. former world number one andy roddick shared his disbelief. and we will have more on andy murray's situation and the announcement of his retirement later in the programme. around 15,000 families with three

or more children will not have their universal credit capped, in another government u—turn on the benefit payment. after a barrage of criticism, the new work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, recently accepted there were problems with the system. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. the government's flagship benefit reform has been controversial, dogged by delays in its rollout. opponents of universal credit say it has left some worse off, and forced others to use food banks to make ends meet. the new work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, has pledged to listen concerns. i know that there are problems with universal credit, despite its good intentions. i've seen them for myself. i will be listening and learning from the expert groups in this area who do such good work. i know it can be better. today, she will set out how she intends to address some of them. plans to extend the policy which limits benefits claims to two children will be scrapped. they will still apply to children born after april 2017,

but not to those born before. plans to move 3 million people onto universal credit have been delayed. instead, 10,000 will be moved, so the government can study the impact. and a pilot scheme will look at more frequent payments, after complaints some were being left short. amber rudd says universal credit does work for the majority of people, but she will acknowledge today it needs to offer flexibility. her opponents say the measures announced don't go far enough, and have called on her to scrap the two—child benefit cap completely. nick eardley, bbc news. if you are thinking of starting the new year by going on a diet, a major review has confirmed that eating food high in fibre reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and other diseases. the study published in the lancet is a review of research going back almost 40 years. here is our health correspondent jane dreaper. the researchers say eating more fruit and vegetables,

nuts and seeds, and whole grains and breakfast cereals, breads and pasta, is linked to lower weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and it helps protect against illnesses such as bowel cancer. adults in the uk are recommended to eat 30g of fibre a day, but only 9% of us manage that. two thick slices of wholemeal toast provide about a fifth of the total. so how do you eat more fibre? you could choose a higher—fibre breakfast cereal such as plain wholewheat biscuits, opt for wholemeal bread and whole grains like brown rice, and make sure you eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables each day. the world health organization asked for this review ahead of new global guidelines about diet. low—carb diets have become popular in recent years, but experts have warned that today's work shows people trying these could risk missing out on fibre from whole grains.

facebook is to roll out a team of independent fact checkers in the uk next week, in the site's ongoing battle with fake news. the social media giant, which has been criticised in recent years due to users spreading misinformation online, will be working with fact—checking charity full fact to flag content which is deemed as incorrect or misleading. the winner of the bbc music sound of 2019 is octavian, a 23—year—old rapperfrom london who was previously homeless as a teenager. the award goes to performers who have never had a top—ten hit, and aims to boost the profile of new music talent. previous winners include adele and sam smith. here is our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. meet octavian, a rapper who grew up in south london, and who is one of music's most exciting new talents. the 23—year—old, who was once

a homeless teenager on the capital's streets, says he is overwhelmed to top the sound of 2019 list. a year ago, i was like — i was poor. i was — i had no money. so to have, like — to be nominated for, like, the bbc sound poll, like, and to win it, like, it's mad, it's mad. it's crazy, it's crazy. he follows in the footsteps of previous winners like sam smith and adele. octavian is hopeful that his music's message can help inspire younger people who have also had problems in their lives. a lot of my music from then ‘til now has been about poverty, and making it out of poverty, you know, ‘cause that's

what i was going through. so my message then was, like, just to believe in yourself, and anything is actually possible. because i've lived it, lived that life. his win means his music will now reach a much wider audience, and perhaps lead to even greater success throughout 2019 and beyond. customers who bought tickets for a pantomime which was described as spectacularly bad have been offered refunds. jack and the beanstalk, which was on at the neeld in chippenham, promised a sparkling set and glittering costumes, as these publicity pictures show. but in reality, audiences said there were only three people, no scenery, and the actors couldn't sing or dance. the venue has apologised. apart from that, it was brilliant.

everyone is getting their money back, and an investigation is under way. there is always something kind of wonderful about a particularly bad performance, maybe not if you are in the audience. we will have the weather and sport coming up later on. many secondary schools in england are struggling to balance their books, spending more than they receive each year, with a sharp rise in the number of local authority schools reporting an overspend. that is according to research by the think—tank the education policy institute. the government, though, argues that spending on pupils is rising. let's talk to jason roberts, head teacher of a secondary school in liverpool. very good morning to you. so paint usa very good morning to you. so paint us a picture of finances in your school. it is a challenge. every year you have got to try and work out where the money is going to come from to balance the budget. and you

have to look at how are you deliver the curriculum, how you managed to staff —— manage the staff and resources you have in your building to make sure you are offering best value for children. if i was the phrase that differently, challenging is one of those words that can mean all sorts of things, have you got enough money? i haven't got enough money, no. iwould like enough money? i haven't got enough money, no. i would like a lot more money, no. i would like a lot more money than what comes into the building. i understand that that is not always possible, but when you are talking about challenging, it is really, really difficult. and my school along with lots of other schools in the north—west and across the country are really, really struggling. with how are we going to balance our budgets. talk to me about your school in particular. the school your head teacher of was in special measures, after an ofsted investigation and report, it has moved out of special measures. when you are a school that is in special measures, the invitation is, and please correct me if i'm wrong, that

teaching standards all pupils are not getting what they need, and therefore you need more help, you need more staffing, more resource m, need more staffing, more resource in, better teaching, whatever. need more staffing, more resource in, betterteaching, whatever. do you get extra money? no, you don't, you get extra money? no, you don't, you don't get any extra money for that. so how are you supposed to pay for those improvements? out of the money shift to get you out of special measures, for example? you have to be really creative in identifying where the weaknesses are within the school, identified those weaknesses, challenge those witnesses, and use the stuff that you have got —— challenge those weaknesses. and when you do overspend, do you overspend? are you one of those schools that has overspent? yes, we have overspent. what happens to the budget for next year? it is in deficit, so you are in debt. is the option to keep overspending? no, you have to try and get to a balanced budget at some point. who tells you that you have to do that? as far as i can see, a school should be able to spend as much money as it needs to give pupils the best education. so who

says to you, no? you have done as much as you can, but no, you just have to suffer. the local authority, they will ask why, what are you spending. it's important that you don't just keep handing over money. and things aren't getting better. it's really important that education standards continue to improve. is doubly difficult because you are not really allowed to recruit new qualified teachers. why would they go to a school that is not doing well if that got the option, new teachers? you have got to sell your school. the ethos of your school, the culture of your school. this is actually what we are doing and why we are doing it. the government will

come up with statistics to say that funding is at its highest ever level., for funding is at its highest ever level. , for example. can funding is at its highest ever level., for example. can you illustrate for us at some of the practical decisions you have been forced to make as a result of the budgets that you see in front of you, the spreadsheets? can you give us an example of something you've wa nted us an example of something you've wanted to do that you haven't been able to do. with food technology, we did our curriculum, we wanted to recruit a food technology teacher. it wasn't possible because our budget was in a quite a difficult position. we've had to look within the school and look at teachers that we re the school and look at teachers that were able to teach. or may have had a food background from previous career. a food background from previous career. and do it that way. as a head teacher, you are knowingly making a decision that you know is limiting what you are able to offer your students because you are forced

to make that decision? yeah, because you can't afford it. some the use of —— sometimes you simply cannot afford to recruit more teachers or another staff member to do something because your budget is so stretched. you can't take someone onto the school books knowing that within 8-12 school books knowing that within 8—12 months, you might have to make them redundant. it's just 8—12 months, you might have to make them redundant. it'sjust poor management. we thank you for your time this morning. are you teaching this morning? not this morning, i did yesterday. i teach humanities, english, maths. it's apt, isn't it? it has been mild lately, hasn't it? good morning, matt. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather. the mild story not only continues

today that into this weekend as well. it will become increasingly windy as we go through. although the winds are fairly light across the country, high—pressure trust of the south—west, it usually high it means a dry but we have seen weather fronts push through and it will pick up fronts push through and it will pick up the cloud apart —— around parts of england and wales. the fault will clear and thereafter large amounts of cloud. showers to the far north and west of scotland but most places will be dry through the afternoon. asi will be dry through the afternoon. as i said, a cloudy day and the best of any the high ground. winds are light and temperature is higher than yesterday even with the lighter winds at around 8— 11 degrees. as a go into this afternoon, we have the slightly milder air that it is not the same across europe. some pretty severe winter weather have been in eastern areas. the blue areas of the chart are where things will get above freezing. more snow to come today and we could see an extra 1—

two metres worth of snow in those areas of austria and germany. no snow fast. rain, tonight. there are clear spells returning —— clear spells. rain returning to the midlands and north wales. a bit of patchy drizzle potentially. temperatures above freezing, is to bus. to start the weekend, the same story. still lots of cloud and through the afternoon, western scotland, northern ireland, wales, will turn gap and drizzly with heavy bursts of rain in the highlands. temperatures holding up as they will do into sunday and the winds will come in off the atlantic and become stronger. by sunday, we could see gales across northern and eastern areas. one weather front bringing weather southwards. most places dry but the best part of the sunshine are on sunday as the clouds whip up

—— the showers of grip of the cloud. 40-50 —— the showers of grip of the cloud. 40—50 mph gusts possible in scotland. temperatures 10— 12 degrees. i mentioned the snow in austria. it has notjust in there. let's see the rain —— snow in norway. heavy snow. the wintry weather has been seen even south towards lebanon. march was whisking us around the world fair. —— matt. the biggest ever review into england's national parks is taking place, 70 years after they were first created. the peak district was one of the first areas to be given protected status — brea kfast‘s tim muffett is there this morning. we are outside the hotel. you won't

see much at here because it is dark. we are talking about the review into britain's breathing spaces, as they have been dubbed, the national park. it is 70 years since the first legislation was passed which made them be placed into being. a lot of things to talk about. a reminder into how a national park story began. archive: what should be made into national parks, mountain, moor, forest and heath, must be protected. by the 1940s, following decades of industrialisation, the national parks campaign was getting louder. inspired by the likes of yosemite in california, and kruger national park in south africa.

archive: many other countries have national park systems but we have none, why? in 1951, the first four national parks were officially designated. the peak district, lake district, snowdonia and dartmoor. since then, the list has grown. there are now ten national parks in england, three and wales and two in scotland. as well as 46 areas of outstanding natural beauty across the uk. but a review is currently assessing how national parks in england meet our needs in the 21st—century. should there be more of them? should more be done to support those who live and work in them? 70 years on from the legislation that created national parks, the question is how best to secure their future. gillian, first of all, why do we

need a review into our national parks.? need a review into our national parks. ? it is 70 years. we are in the peak district. lots of going well. huge pressures, too. pressures on local people, crucially, pressures on nature. massive declines in urban numbers, wildlife across the whole of england. national parks should be special places and we need to make sure we help them recover and help the next 70 years be even more successful than the last 70. what are the main challengers from the wildlife perspective? people come to national parks to enjoy wildlife and make the most of nature. we want our national parks to be much wilder. we are

disappointed they are not better than areas outside the rest of the country and we think that needs to change. what we would like to see it much more wildlife friendly spaces andl much more wildlife friendly spaces and i want people to be able to come toa and i want people to be able to come to a national park and feel proud and excited about the wildlife that they see. at the moment, i want people to get out there and the really exciting wildlife that these experiences are really rare. there are experiences are really rare. there a re calls experiences are really rare. there are calls for more homes but did you think that would damage wildlife? if thejuggling act, isn't it? we think that would damage wildlife? if the juggling act, isn't it? we do think housing would damage wildlife but we think every time somebody makes a decision about how the national park should be used, they should be taking nature and wildlife into consideration so we know that some really good housing developers out there could some houses and put in some swift boxes. they could put in the bricks in the walls, they could put hedgehog walls in their

fences. we know that they can create really wild spaces and what we want isa really wild spaces and what we want is a major recovery network so we wa nt is a major recovery network so we want a network of spaces and we know that everybody can contribute towards those spaces so we know that whether that is farmer, —— are farmer creating a hedge road or a family creating a wildlife garden. everybody can create wild space.|j will pause you. thanks for that, lots to discuss as the report is due to be published in the autumn, i gather. there we go, some views on the national park situation at the moment and what can be done to make them even more attractive. we will talk more about them later and join some of the lovely views. first, here is the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm victoria hollins. the family of a fifteen—year—old girl who has been missing for a week are appealing for information about her. hannah lees is from wandsworth. she's thought to be in the brixton or stockwell area. she went missing on the 3rd of january after attending southside shopping centre. anyone with information is asked to contact the met police. the london air ambulance

is looking to introduce a new life—saving technique of freezing the bodies of patients at the roadside. 30 years after it launched, the service is regarded as a world leader in treating patients before they get to hospital. as part of bbc london's behind the scenes look at the air ambulance, one doctor explains how the technology works. taking someone's body temperature right the way down to 18 degrees or so, so really, really cold, holding the person there so they don't have oxygen going around the body, they don't need blood going around the body, and then getting to the operating team so they can fix the holes, fix the bits that are broken and then warm the patient back up, it's something that is really exciting and feasible. and you can watch the third part of our series on london's air ambulance on tonight's programme at 6:30. london's very first ‘borough of culture' will be officially

launched tonight with a series of events in walthamstow. waltham forest beat boroughs across london who bid for the title last year. it's a city hall initiative to make culture a biggerfocus, and encourage communities to work together showcasing creative talent. 3 and half million pounds has been spent on the scheme so far. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube there are minor delays on the district line between upminster and earls court due to an earlier signal failure. on the roads: traffic building on the m4 in both directions on the brentford elevated section. a lane is closed on a40 oxford street northbound at the junction with tottenham court road for pavement works. acton: gunnersbury lane remains closed southbound at the junction with acton fire station for burst water main repairs. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. not feeling quite as cold as it was yesterday. some grey, drizzly, damp starts today but the temperature will fill a little bit more mild.

it will continue as we head into the weekend. some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle first thing this morning but gradually that will clear away south. some brightness this afternoon, glimmers of sunshine here and there but still quite a bit of cloud around. the wind still not quite as strong as yesterday so not as cold. maximum temperature between seven and eight celsius. overnight tonight, more cloud piling in from the north—west. the wind will also strengthen overnight as well which will lead into a very blustery weekend. minimum temperature between three and five celsius. the saturday morning, will be a breezy start. you might get one or two outbreaks of rain ahead of it clearing south through the afternoon and temperatures over the week on the climb. for sunday, despite it being a windy day, we are getting up to 12 celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. in a dramatic and tearful press conference overnight, andy murray has announced his intention to retire from tennis. at a press conference in melbourne, the former world number one, who has been struggling with a hip injury, said he hopes to bow out after wimbledon, but also warned he could be in too much pain to continue playing following next week's australian open. he gave this emotional reaction when he was asked if it could be his last event. andy, does that mean that this might be your last tournament? um...yeah, ithink... i think there's — there's a chance of that, yeah, for sure.

um...yeah, there's a chance of that, for sure, because — yeah, like i said, i'm not sure. i'm not sure i'm able to — to play through the pain, you know, for another four or five months. i think ithinki i think i am not alone in saying hearts were breaking. it is hard to watch, and it is worth saying mike will be here with the sport in a few minutes. we will talk about that. around 15,000 families with three or more children will not have their universal credit capped, in another government u—turn on the benefit payment. the two—child limit came into effect in april 2017, but did not initially apply to claimants whose children were born before that date. the exemption was due to end next month, but will now continue. new research suggests that an increasing number of secondary

schools in england are in financial deficit. a report by the independent think—tank the education policy institute says that a third of secondaries had overspent their budgets by the end of last year. the government insists that spending on pupils is rising. children with mental health conditions are being failed by the nhs, according to an influential committee of mps. the commons public accounts committee says more staff are needed as recruitment hasn't progressed quickly enough. the government insists it has made children and young people's mental health services its key priority. the winner of the bbc music sound of 2019 is octavian, a 23—year—old rapperfrom london who was previously homeless as a teenager. the 23—year—old began to attract wide attention after high—profile musicians began sharing his music on social media. the award goes to performers who have never had a top—ten hit, and aims to boost the profile of new music talent. previous winners include adele and sam smith. coming up: we will get

the weather with matt. right now mike is here with the sport. and it is worth painting a picture of that scene. everyone knew that andy murray was struggling with his fitness and health going into the tournament. but that doesn't change that moment of time when he walked out and as i understand that he walked into the press conference, the first question, how are you, he couldn't answer and stepped out for a moment to try and compose himself. and his team, as well, behind—the—scenes when he was hugging his coaching team, they were all in tears as well. it has almost dawned on them just before we are told ourselves, at the start of the year andy murray was hoping it might be his comeback year, a bit like novak djokovic did last year, coming back from his hip trouble, but the

warmup match against novak djokovic, it might have dawned on him that he can't go on with his pain. it is about more than tennis, it is about being a father and being able to move around the garden, basic things that a lot of people take for granted. and it is worth noting, it is hard to imagine anyone has had such an impact on his sport. when you think of those years and generations, it was unthinkable that britain would have a wimbledon men's champion, and winning the davis cup, the olympic gold. also a man who has used his voice to promote equality in tennis, to speak up. billiejean king is one of those who have tweeted about him, saying his legacy will be far beyond what he has done on the court. here's a role model in so on the court. here's a role model in so many ways. it is to imagine we will go back to the days of wimbledon without the likes of andy murray they are. it has been a privilege and an honour, we realise how lucky we are to be in this area and to have seen it and reported on

it, to have been there. lets now get the reaction of the current british number ones. in a moment, kyle edmund. but first, johanna konta, who cannot imagine the sport without murray, and sympathises with the way injury is potentially curtailing his career. if he's unable to retire on his own terms, and is forced to retire, i think that's something that no athlete wants to be put through. so i think everyone has a lot of compassion, and a lot of — yeah, a lot of sadness for him, if he's being put into that decision with his hip. so, i mean... yeah, honestly, i think ijust can't imagine the sport without him, to be honest, because he'sjust been there all the time. he has been my biggest role model, out of any tennis player. obviously being british, and he is obviously britain's greatest tennis player ever and you could save maybe written's best sportsman ever. so to

be able to have the experience as i have had with him, and memories in terms of training with him, and getting to know personally, and seeing what he has done on the court... —— britain's best sportsman. kevin anderson tweeting tennis is better with andy murray.|j kevin anderson tweeting tennis is better with andy murray. i don't think he will be out of the game. no, he has the foundation and passing it onto generations to come, he has ruled out playing in doubles in the later stages of his career. we won't lose him from the game. his influence will carry on, but let's hope he can get through the australian open, and it may be a tall order to get the wimbledon and go out on a high at wimbledon, being out on centre court again, wouldn't that be amazing. much more on that to come throughout breakfast. manchester united caretaker boss ole gunnar solskjaer says the speculation around tottenham manager mauricio pochettino,

is there for a reason. solskjaer has won his first five games whilst in charge, but pochettino is still considered the favourite to replace jose mourinho as united manager in the long term. that speculation is... there's a reason, because he's done well. but then again, it's not myjob to rate all the different managers. it's — my focus is on me and my team. juventus are currently leading the race to sign arsenal and wales midfielder aaron ramsey. ramsey's contract is due to end at the end of this season. and although it is thought his preference at the moment is to join the italian champions, he is yet to make a decision, and will continue to consider offers from a number of europe's leading clubs, including paris st—germain. arsenal manager unai emery praised ramsey's attitude, despite the speculation surrounding his future. they are changing the name on the manager's office at stoke again. just over a year ago,

they were a premier league club under mark hughes. they have had three managers since then. the latest is this man, nathan jones. this is the biggestjob of his career, but he was unusually honest about how hard it has been leaving his old club, luton town. the amount of times i've cried from text messages i've had from players already, they sent me good stuff, and things. when i think about it, it makes the emotional, because i've had a good time here. i was married to the club. but the natural progression from me — this was the right step. it's a calculated gamble, but it's the right step for me. and who said darts isn't a sport for the youth? 13 year—old leighton bennett became the youngest player ever to win the bdo world youth championship yesterday. he ended with a flourish, a 121 checkout that included a bullseye finish. leighton is only the second english player to win the competition, and he picks up a cheque of £5,000 and said he was over the moon, as you can see. great scenes there. yes, 13! what

would a 13—year—old do with £5,000? big hugs, even for the referee. bit of history in darts, amazing. it is where we post our photos, our relationship updates, and in some cases our political points of view. but in recent years, facebook has been marred by the spread of fake news. in its latest move to stop disinformation, the social media giant is working with fact checkers in the uk to tell us if what we are sharing is true, false, or somewhere in between. joining us now is will moy, director of the fact—checking charity full fact, which is working with facebook. good morning to you. some people are familiar with you, having done your work sort of in other media outlets. just explain how it will work, the relationship with facebook. well, it all relationship with facebook. well, it a ll starts, relationship with facebook. well, it all starts, actually, with what you are seeing on facebook and whether you trusted or not. you have the option to report posts and one of the ways you report them is by

saying i think this might be false news. facebook is going to send us a list of content that it thinks might be false news, partly based on what people have reported to it, and then our team of fact—checkers, we have six fact—checkers with years of experience in trying to suss out whether things are true or not, will go through and try and trace it back to original sources, work out where they come from and whether it can be trusted and return that information back to facebook and its users. facebook is huge, it has millions and millions of users. what kind of workload are you expecting? how many, roughly, fake news post, streams, are you expecting to be asked to investigate, say, per week? so we really don't know. it does depend on what is out there, but it is very obvious that we can't check everything on facebook. we couldn't even begin to try. so the thing is, what are the things that are going to make the most difference? there are three areas where we think real harm can come from inaccurate information. one is in emergencies,

another is in elections, and another is people's health. let's take emergencies, for example the manchester arena bombing. there were lots of things that were put out on social media, for example, say, a person is missing, within two days, or even one day, this can spread through people. everyone who is not familiar with facebook, you have a profile and you follow other people's profiles, how quickly does that get passed up to you, notified as fake and then remedied? how quick is that process able to be? well, it does depend on what the problem with the content is. sometimes it is possible to spot things very, very quickly or respond very, very quickly. after the attacks in manchester, we saw images floating around suggesting they were missing people and people were sharing them trying to be helpful, but they were faked images using photos from elsewhere on the internet, pretending these people were missing. you can imagine the agony that causes for people who are

waiting at home for their loved ones. you can actually traced images that have been used elsewhere on the internet are using something called reverse image search, and that can be done very quickly. the fact checkers can do that, find the photos somewhere else, which has nothing to do with the concert in manchester, and let them know so people can know straightaway that that image shouldn't be shared through facebook. and how should you be notified? so it is entirely up to you what you share, nobody is telling you what you can or cannot do, but if you were to try and sherratt, you would get a message —— share it, you would get a message saying this has been checked by fact checkers. i am not seeking to impugn full fa ct checkers. i am not seeking to impugn full fact in any way whatsoever, but isa full fact in any way whatsoever, but is a complicated in relation to fake news. how do people know that full fa ct news. how do people know that full fact will give us the full faq ‘s? presumably you are being paid by facebook, so some people might immediately think hold on a minute... do you know what i mean? it becomes more and more

complicated. we are going to you as the definitive, but will someone else check the facts on full fact? well, i hope so. the answer is you shouldn't come to us as the definitive. what we do is give you sources you can check for yourself. we're not saying here is the right answer, take our word for it. we are saying here is the right answer, this is where we have gone to find it, have a look for yourself and make your own mind up whether you wa nt to make your own mind up whether you want to sherratt or not. and we do that with all our work. —— share it or not. we have fact checked three general election since 2010, three major elections, all bitterly contested in many ways, and we have come out of that and people on all sides have managed to use our work and say actually, yes, because i can see for myself where it has come from, i willjudge it for myself. it doesn't mean we're right all the time. if we make mistakes we have the correct it, just like everyone else. there is another issue, that facebook has been accused of asking its fa ct facebook has been accused of asking its fact checkers to look at things

that benefit its advertisers, not necessarily as users. can you shed some light on that? yes, so one person made that allegation, who isn't currently working for a fact checker, so it was a bit of a surprising thing. we have obviously done months of due diligence before we started this project, so facebook came to us in the first half of last year to talk about this, and we spent months talking with them to satisfy ourselves that we can do it independently. one of the safeguards we built in is that every three months we are going to be reporting publicly on how this scheme is working, completely independently of facebook, and they can respond to it publicly if they want to and say their side of events, but we will say what we have done, what we have found, how well we think it is working, so all of that will be out in the open, because we think that conversation is something everyone should see. so in three months we can expect you back on the server? bring me back, i would love to talk about it. thank you for explaining everything. matt, you deal in facts. it is only

fa cts matt, you deal in facts. it is only facts with matt and the weather.m is factual as we see it, all the way. very good morning. the facts today are it is not as cold as it was yesterday morning, and today will be a much milder day by and large. we will notice the winds picking up. out there today and this weekend, we will deal with large amounts of cloud. high—pressure nearby. it is bringing the moisture in the atlantic. hence the cloud sheet with the overhead. thick enough over south wales this morning for light rain or drizzle. it will clear through, maybe a bit writer, the best of any bright breaks will be to that east of high ground —— brighter. if you showers continue throughout the north and west of scotla nd throughout the north and west of scotland but for most, dry this afternoon, light winds and to riches

up afternoon, light winds and to riches up on yesterday's values of 7—11. much loved than across parts of europe. the snowfall we have seen in austria. more snow to come. also down to alpine regions. we could see as much as one or two metres worth of snow. second half of the night, showery, spreads across northern england and into the north midlands. either side, drizzle around, england and into the north midlands. eitherside, drizzle around, cloud, frost free. tomorrow morning, like this morning, southern counties will start with outbreaks of rain, brightening up into the afternoon. better sunshine here and there. most of the country will stay cloudy and we will see rain develop widely west of scotla nd we will see rain develop widely west of scotland through the day with patchy rain and drizzle. staying

mild but increasingly windy. wind strength further into sunday. another weather front working southwards into the night and morning which will bring showers to england and wales but with stronger winds, the chance of the cloud breaking up. we could see winds top 40 or 50 mph. breaking up. we could see winds top 40 or50 mph. on the breaking up. we could see winds top 40 or 50 mph. on the gust chart, winds getting close to gale force. temperatures on sunday may be higher than saturday, 10—12. if you wonder whether cold air for us is, than saturday, 10—12. if you wonder whether cold airfor us is, it than saturday, 10—12. if you wonder whether cold air for us is, it could be on the way next week. the temperature trend for leeds and central parts of the uk shows that after a brief lift, it will give away. it will run up to the end of the mark. it doesn't guarantee snow that certainly colder than it will be this weekend. so that guarantee

is not a fact. you are in trouble, you are. we've been hearing from all the big shops and supermarkets over the past couple of weeks and the analysts and experts have given us their opinions. but what do shoppers think about the state of retail? sean's planning to find out. sean? widow are winners and losers in all of the papers this morning we have been talking about debenhams and tesco's. what can they learn from the people that matter, the actual shoppers? jane, dawn and danny. so many issues. we have supermarkets, we have department stores, you are a blogger about budgetary issues. what

is the way your shopping at the minute? you are enticed to the bargain. you might have a few extra things in the trolley that you might have not that make you shouldn't. there is a lot of temptation. do you notice the way shoppers are behaving

now? we are seeing a difference in the way consumers act. particularly expectations reasoning —— that rising a lot. because you have consta nt rising a lot. because you have constant social media available, it is so much easier to do that. the last thing you want to do that. the last thing you want to do is q4 hours. do that. the last thing you want to do is 04 hours. i see that you do loads of shopping online. christmas is one of those times you can really get customers back in to your doors. but then if you have the bad experience, you don't want to go back and that is when you go back online. idid back and that is when you go back online. i did go into a shop because i wanted to look and see the products but a few of the things i

wanted a couldn't get and then there we re wanted a couldn't get and then there were massive lineups. danny, do you get the service you want in the shops? the big criticism of debenhams is you go in and it's not the greatest experience. service is important for me. if i go in and have bad experience, i might not go back. that is a thing. i stick to the brand i know i have been into before and i will get good service. what is winning the us in it? people that can recommend a good product to me. “— that can recommend a good product to me. —— for you at the minute. people saying hello, good morning and talk to me and recommend things. kate? i

think you don't need budget price for budget experience. i shop online for budget experience. i shop online for convenience. i advocate the high street and i am personally very worried about the demise of it. i think it is an issue that if we don't use it, we will lose it. we need to go into the town centre. hold your thoughts because we will talk about this a lot more in the next hour. what do you want for 2019? laurel and hardy are regarded throughout the world as the greatest comic double act ever — and while they perfected the art of slapstick, behind the scenes it wasn't always a laugh a minute. a new film ‘stan and ollie' tells their story during the final throws of their career. i've been to meet its stars, john c reilly and steve coogan.

john, steve, lovely to see you. first thing i should say is congratulations to both for the awards because you have just been nominated for a bafta for best actor. john was nominated for a golden globe, so... yeah, steve was acknowleged by his country and i was acknowleged by the hollywood foreign press. it makes you wonder a little bit about how those things work. does it seem... it seems especially cruel to separate these two guys. that's what i think! i felt really conflicted when i was given that without steve. the thing is, though... steve doesn't feel conflicted at all, though. i did feel conflicted, for about 15 minutes, but the thing is, it's odd because this really is, very few films actually are equally weighted and this film is definitely a properly two—hander. i'm looking for a fair price for a laurel and hardy picture and you know it.

our pictures sell all around the world and we haven't got a dime. that is because you keep getting divorced! no, it's because you're a cheapskate who got rich off our backs. oh, come one, now, stan. he is, he's a cheapskate, a skinflint and a parvenu. a parvenu? people will think, looking at you now, i mean, there is naturally some kind of resemblance. the two a few sitting here now, you obviously don't look like them but there is naturally a physical likeness. well, that was my real moustache that i was wearing. did you have to wear some kind of mouthpiece? i had something in my teeth to shove myjaw out a little bit, it's a bit square like that, you know, it kind of sticks out. oliver was curiously light on his feet for a big man, wasn't he? i mean, people will be familiar with some of the dance routines, the physical comedy, he was incredibly gifted. you know, that psychological gesture of working in opposition to your weight, pretending like you're gene kelly when in fact you are much bigger than gene kelly is a really interesting thing about oliver because in their performance, in our act, that is what he was constantly doing, striving for higher status than he was, striving for a more romantic version of his life

than he had, they were always being ambitious beyond their station. that's right. in a way that, that gesture of carrying yourself like a lighter man, it is another part of the joke. there was nothing slothlike about oliver. # i am lonesome for you #. after ollie died, stan carried on writing material for them, didn't he? there was a period of about 4 or 5 years where he just carried on. that's right because stan was, and we always say, stan lived to work but oliver worked to live. oliver enjoyed his life more and stan was so consumed with his work, it was all he had. stanley was bereft went

oliver left the world. their performances are remarkable. it isa their performances are remarkable. it is a beautiful story, a love story,. stan and ollie is out today. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm victoria hollins. the family of a fifteen—year—old girl who has been missing for a week are appealing for information about her. hannah lees is from wandsworth.

she's thought to be in the brixton or stockwell area. she went missing on the 3rd of january after attending southside shopping centre. anyone with information is asked to contact the met police. the london air ambulance is looking to introduce a new life—saving technique of freezing the bodies of patients at the roadside. 30 years after it launched, the service is regarded as a world leader in treating patients before they get to hospital. as part of bbc london's behind the scenes look at the air ambulance, one doctor explains how the technology works. taking someone's body temperature right the way down to 18 degrees or so, so really, really cold, holding the person there so they don't have oxygen going around the body, they don't need blood going around the body, and then getting to the operating team so they can fix the holes, fix the bits that are broken and then warm the patient back up, it's something that is really exciting and feasible. and you can watch the third part of our series on london's air ambulance on tonight's programme at 6:30.

some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle first thing this morning but gradually that will clear away south. some brightness this afternoon, glimmers of sunshine here and there but still quite a bit of cloud around. the wind still not quite as strong as yesterday so not as cold. maximum temperature between seven and eight celsius. overnight tonight, more cloud piling in from the north—west. the wind will also strengthen overnight as well which will lead into a very blustery weekend. minimum temperature between three and five celsius. the saturday morning, will be a breezy start. you might get one or two outbreaks of rain ahead of it clearing south through the afternoon and temperatures over the week on the climb. for sunday, despite it being a windy day, we are getting up to 12 celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

bye for now. good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: andy, does that mean this might be your last tournament? an emotional andy murray announces his intention to retire from tennis. i'm not sure, i'm not sure i'm able to play through the pain you know, for another four or five months. the man who enabled british tennis to dream again by finally ending the wait for a men's wimbledon champion has been struggling with a hip injury and fears next week's australian open could be his last tournament. another u—turn on universal credit — about 15,000 families will no longer face having their benefits capped. from the dourness at debenhams to the triumph at tesco...

after hearing from our retailers all week, what is is that shoppers actually want? nowhere near as cold this morning and the mild theme will continue into the weekend but it will be increasingly windy. all the details here on breakfast. it's friday the 11th of january. our top story. in a dramatic and tearful press conference overnight, andy murray has announced his intention to retire from tennis. the 31—year—old says he plans to quit after this year's wimbledon, but fears next week's australian open could be the final tournament of his career. the former world number one, who's won three grand slam titles, is struggling to recover from hip surgery, as patrick geary reports. andy murray will have wanted this press conference to be about his return and recovery.

his body was telling him otherwise — one of the sport's steeliest characters forced to take a break from the questions. he came back — he always does. andy, does that mean that this might be your last tournament? um...yeah, ithink... i think there's — there's a chance of that, yeah, for sure um...yeah, there's a chance of that, for sure, because — yeah, like i said, i'm not sure i'm not sure i'm able to — to play through the pain, you know, for another four or five months. it has been caused by a lifetime's exertion — the incredible strength,

mental, physical and emotional, which won him the 2013 wimbledon title, ending a 77—year wait that had become a national obsession. murray won it again three years later, the same year he won his second olympic gold medal. but by 2017, the problems with his hip were obvious. despite surgery, here, finally, was his limit, one last wimbledon now his last goal. i said to my team, look, i think i can kind of get through this until wimbledon. that's where i'd like to... that's where i would like to stop, stop playing. but i'm also not certain i'm able to do that. murray's plan may succumb to the pain. one of britain's greatest sportsmen will summon the energy to play roberto bautista agut next week in melbourne.

it may be the last time we see him on a tennis court. patrick geary, bbc news. of course, there's been a lot of reaction to the news online. former world number one, andy roddick, shared his disbelief. billie jean king called him a "champion on, and off the court". and in the last half—hour, the former british number one

greg rusedski has tweeted... "andy murray is our best british tennis player in the open era. he is one of the best athletes, tacticians and competitors to grace our sport. he should be so proud of his incredible career." and we'll be talking to greg in about 30 minutes' time. around 15,000 families with three or more children will not have their universal credit capped, in another government u—turn on the benefit payment. after a barrage of criticism, the new work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, recently accepted there were problems with the system. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. the government's flagship benefit reform has been controversial, dogged by delays in its rollout. opponents of universal credit say it has left some worse off, and forced others to use food banks to make ends meet. the new work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, has pledged to listen concerns. i know that there are problems with universal credit, despite its good intentions. i've seen them for myself. i will be listening and learning from the expert groups in this area

who do such good work. i know it can be better. today, she will set out how she intends to address some of them. plans to extend the policy which limits benefits claims to two children will be scrapped. they will still apply to children born after april 2017, but not to those born before. plans to move three million people onto universal credit have been delayed. instead, 10,000 will be moved, so the government can study the impact. and a pilot scheme will look at more frequent payments, after complaints some were being left short. amber rudd says universal credit does work for the majority of people, but she will acknowledge today it needs to offer flexibility. her opponents say the measures announced don't go far enough, and have called on her to scrap the two—child benefit cap completely. nick eardley, bbc news. carbohydrates are back on the menu, as a new report for the world health organization says we're not getting enough fibre. fruit and vegetables,

as well as plenty of nuts and seeds, are being recommended, after the benefits of a high fibre diet were confirmed by a major review. the study, published in the lancet, looks at research going back almost 40 years. it says fibre reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and other diseases. it also recommends eating wholegrain breakfast cereal, bread and pasta. children with mental health conditions are being failed by the nhs, according to an influential committee of mps. the department for health insists it's made children and young peoples' mental health services its key priority, as part of the nhs long term plan. but the commons public accounts committee says ministers must increase staff numbers, as recruitment has progressed more slowly than planned. we have yet to see how the nhs plan will work for young people with mental health problems. what we need to see is real resourcing in schools as well as in the nhs. we need to

see support so young people can get a quick diagnosis or better preventative work, so they don't need the heavy support later on in their lives. facebook is to roll out a team of independent fact checkers in the uk next week, in the site's ongoing battle with fake news. the social media giant, which has been criticised in recent years due to users spreading misinformation online, will be working with fact—checking charity full fact to flag content which is deemed as incorrect or misleading. we give you sources you can check for yourself. we say, this is the right answer, this is where we got it from, have a look for yourself and make your mind up if you want to share it or not. the winner of the bbc music sound of 2019 is octavian, a 23—year old rapperfrom london who was previously homeless as a teenager. the award goes to performers who've never had a top ten hit, and aims to boost the profile of new music talent. previous winners include adele and sam smith. here's our entertainment

correspondent lizo mzimba. meet octavian, a rapper who grew up in south london, and who is one of music's most exciting new talents. the 23—year—old, who was once a homeless teenager on the capital's streets, says he is overwhelmed to top the sound of 2019 list. a year ago, i was like — i was poor. i was — i had no money. so to have, like — to be nominated for, like, the bbc sound poll, and to win it, like, it's amazing. it's crazy, it's crazy. he follows in the footsteps of previous winners like sam smith and adele. octavian is hopeful that his music's message can help inspire younger people who have also had problems

in their lives. a lot of my music from then until now has been about poverty, and making it out of poverty, because that's what i was going through. so my message then was, like, just to believe in yourself, and anything is actually possible. because i've lived it, lived that plight. because i've lived it, lived that life. his win means his music will now reach a much wider audience, and perhaps lead to even greater success throughout 2019 and beyond. there is a pantomime story which has carried on for quite a while. customers who bought tickets for a pantomime which was described as "spectacularly bad" have been offered refunds. "jack and the beanstalk" which was on at the neeld in chippenham, promised a "sparkling set and glittering costumes" — as these publicity pictures show.

but in reality audiences said there were only three people, no scenery and the actors couldn't sing or dance. the venue has apologised. it has tickled us this this morning. i think they only did three shows in the end. not many happy customers. but is kudos, to have been then now given how bad it was. i am intrigued to see it. in theatre it is almost better if it is really bad or really good. your diet? low carb? it is very confusing. low carbohydrate, high—protein diets have become popular in recent years, but a new report for the world health organization says this could mean we're not getting enough fibre. eating fibre—rich food reduces the chance of suffering from heart disease and stroke, according to research

published in the lancet. so what foods should you eat and how much of them do you need? here to tell us is dietitian ursula philpot from leeds beckett university. good morning. you come in very regularly to talk about diet related issues. what are you seeing from this world health organization and they have looked at a lot of studies, 40 years worth of research? yes, 1.3 million people were included. it was observational data looking at what people eat day to day and how they go on to develop diseases later on. it also looked that intervention studies where they altered deliberately, the type of diet people eat to see if it improve their health markers. what is the snapshot? on both of those levels, fibre is good. there was a clear relationship between how much fibre people have in their diets and a reduction in thing like

cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes, rectal cancers. a clear relationship, if you eat more fibre your disease risk gets reduced. relationship, if you eat more fibre your disease risk gets reducedlj use your disease risk gets reduced.” use the word confusing when we introduced this article because we have been told stay away from bread, you can see all the wheat and the bread behind us, high—protein, will help you lose weight, follow a mediterranean diet. it is really confusing. it depends what your primary aim is. if your primary aim is weight loss you might want to shift your diet towards a higher protein end. but the general health and well—being we don't suggest people exclude carbohydrates. you will not get the essential fibre, you won't get all the vitamins and minerals you need. how much fibre do we need? in this study they looked up we need? in this study they looked up people with 25 to 30 grams of

fibre a day had optimal health and there seemed to be benefits of going even higher than that for some populations, going higher than 30 grams. this is about 30 grams of fibre here. bran flakes? super high—fibre cereal to kick you off at eight grams of fibre in the morning. the main point is, each of these meals have fruit and vegetables with them and that is what we are looking for. if you can concentrate in getting your fruit and vegetable inta ke getting your fruit and vegetable intake up and you will hit your fibre targets and he will get the nutrients that will help with other things. it seems like eating the skin ona things. it seems like eating the skin on a jacket potato, but a lot of people don't, what are the things we should be thinking about that we have tended to leave out? in this country it would be switching from our reliance on white bread onto 50-50 our reliance on white bread onto 50—50 or multigrain bread if you can

do it. maximising fruit and vegetables, keeping the skin on things like potatoes, carrots, those vegeta bles things like potatoes, carrots, those vegetables you can leave the skin on, casseroles and soups, definitely keep the skin on. having more beans, peas and pulses. lentils and beans, adding them to things other than your meat products. a lot of the m essa g es your meat products. a lot of the messages in the fibre message are consistent with other health messages. fruit and vegetables, pulses, beans, fibres if you're going to eat carbohydrates. how does pasta fit in? we would say go for wholemeal pasta. people say it doesn't taste as good, but you do get used to the taste quickly. if you can't have it in your everyday meals, coming home from work and school. keep the high—quality white

pasta for a treat on the weekend. it is 0.4 grams. charlie says you come ona is 0.4 grams. charlie says you come on a lot, but this is important and the advice is changing all the time. is this report, in your head, perhaps one we can say, this is the ultimate report because the messages are confusing and numerous? they are. it confirms what we already know and what is already out there, we already have a government recommendation for 30 grams of fibre a day. this confirms what we already know. it is saying eat more things, eat more fruit and veg, eat more whole grains and pulses. as a dietician, it is a nice message to bring to people because it doesn't conflict with anything. you have talked about but high carb, sorry low carb for dieting, but this reiterates what we always say, fruit

and veg, have a carbohydrate diet that suits you and your body shape. thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. have you had your fibre this morning? i have, i have had my porridge. it is warmer this morning. the milder theme will continue through the weekend. increasingly windy, as i will show you. high—pressure is a us on down to the south—west, we are bringing moisture in off the atla ntic bringing moisture in off the atlantic in the form of layers of cloud and across southern areas this morning the cloud taking for patchy rain and drizzle. that will clear through and the skies will brighten a touch. not as much showing on the

charts but we will see a few sunny brea ks charts but we will see a few sunny breaks across eastern part of england and eastern scotland. a cloudy picture and a few showers to north and west scotland. winds are lighter today than they were yesterday and it will be milder, temperatures between seven and 11 degrees. as you go into tonight, we start off largely dry with a few brea ks start off largely dry with a few breaks in the cloud in eastern areas. any lengthy breaks, temperatures down into the lower single figures. rain spread across scotla nd single figures. rain spread across scotland and northern ireland in the first part of the night and then it comes into northern england and north wales. most of you will be frost free into the start of tomorrow morning. but like today, lots of cloud and southern areas producing the odd shower to begin with. writing into the afternoon and a few sunny breaks. large amounts of cloud across the country and showers into north wales and north—west england and then into northern ireland western scotland. persistent

rain in the highlands. we continue with showers across the south. they will continue throughout the day in the far north and west of the country. more persistent rain in the north of scotland. but what will happen on sunday, the winds will pick up touching gale force across many northern and eastern areas through the day. that will break up the cloud. temperatures even higher, 11 to 12 celsius. temperatures are set to drop during the second half of next week. no sign of winter weather they are experiencing across europe. these pictures are from austria yesterday afternoon. they could see another metre or two this weekend. the severe winter storm in norway yesterday. blizzards with severe gales and the cold, wintry weather has been as far south as lebanon. stunning brochure showing

the mountains of lebanon. it is not unusual but the levels we are seeing across the middle east and europe at the moment, that is the big surprise. breaking news this morning on the future of budget airline flybe. sean has all the details on that and the other main business stories today. good morning. that's right, we've got an update on the future of flybe. we knew the airline was in trouble and was looking for someone to buy the business. today virgin atlantic, stobart air, owned by the famous truck company, and cyrus, a firm which has investment in other airlines, says it has made an offer to buy flybe. if the deal goes through the airline would fly under the virgin brand. hitachi has not made a decision on the nuclear power plant in wales after reports it would stop construction.

you realise how crucial it was for the regional economy. that will be one for us to watch closely. bit more retail if you haven't had enough over this week. ao world says growth slowed over christmas but still on track. liddell saw an increase in sales about 8% before christmas. partly because they increased the number of stores by 7% last year as well. loads ofjoke about when we get into retail a bit more with our focus group a little bit later. what is it the shoppers wa nt bit later. what is it the shoppers want in 2019? i will give you my shopping list later. more than 800 million people across the world still don't have access to clean drinking water, but a recent breakthrough at manchester university could pave the way to solving that problem. researchers are pioneering a way of using graphene, a material a million times thinner than a human hair, to filter sea water.

joining us now is scientist rahda boya. thank you for talking to us. i know you have brought this model in so lehman's explanation on how graphene can filter water? yes, graphene is a honeycomb structure and it is carbon. they are carbon atoms in the form of honeycomb ladders. that is 1,000,000th of a hair? yellow mapei yes. but this is obviously bigger. one layer from graphite which yes. but this is obviously bigger. one layerfrom graphite which is yes. but this is obviously bigger. one layer from graphite which is the layers of graphene. what we do is to remove one layer to make graphene. if we were to remove the layer of graphene from the middle. there is a tunnel which runs across the

crystal. so this makes it in the form of a pipe. it is like a pipe. if you were to remove one layer than the pipe is about one atom thick. the size of the pipe is almost the size of the water molecule. this lets only water pass through both filters out everything else. the pipe thickness is smaller or greater than the water molecule? it is the size of the water molecule. so if it's perfectly and runs through but that means nothing else can get through, said that is the filtering system ? through, said that is the filtering system? yes. how long can we see something like this constructor?m has been demonstrated in the lab. it is like a chip that you can hold in your hand and you can filter only tiny bits of water. so it takes a day to make it, but if we had to

make it in form of a commercial plant, it will probably take, scaling up the production, which will take probably a few years. but the study itself shows it is possible to make such a small filter, small size filter and it is definitely working. it filters everything else and filters only water. in essence, how close are you to the notion of some ongoing with a bucket into the example or into some other form of water, bucket into the example or into some otherform of water, taking bucket into the example or into some other form of water, taking that to another vessel, pouring it in and then having a product you could drink? yes, so we are a few years from that using this product. but they are already commercially available membranes which are much larger in size. the work we are doing helps making it much smaller.

is it expensive? because it sounds if you are taking tiny, very, very thin layers of graphene out of graphite, what is the process? the whole idea is, if this works and comes to fruition, third world countries, countries that don't have access to clean water? graphene isn't that expensive. when it was made ten years ago it was more expensive, but now with the commercial availability, graphene and many companies making graphene, it is not that expensive. it is fascinating, thank you for explaining. it is hard to comprehend that that whole will be the size of a water molecule. thank you for explaining it. coming up on breakfast, steve coogan and john c reilly tell us about their heartfelt and hilarious tribute to laurel and hardy. we had to distinguish between the

private stan and ollie and the public laurel and hardy, as it were. you have seen the film, so it is more about the relationship backstage? yes, also it is about the twilight years of their career and people did not want to go and see them and their movie career had ended and they were doing a tour of the uk. it was a difficult time for the uk. it was a difficult time for the pair. and as you can see, remarkable likenesses. it is now time to get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. it as another cloudy start but the

cloud will break up as we go through the day a little bit. for most of us it will be dry despite that drizzle in the south. high pressure is still dominating things, we have been looking at this weather chart for a good week or so now. settled conditions. but underneath the high pressure there still a lot cloud. that will thin and break at times across central and eastern areas in particular. many of us will have a dry day but it will be drizzly for southern areas and that might continue for a time. maximum social will be higher than they were yesterday across southern areas. overnight tonight, we will continue to see some cloud and rain moving into scotland and northern ireland and an increasing wind as well as we get into the early hours of saturday morning. it's not going to be a cold

night, once again, temperatures about 4—5 overnight traffic the weekend will be willing quite windy, especially on sunday. we keep those fairly high temperatures and there will be a mixture of sunshine and showers. we will see quite a few showers. we will see quite a few showers moving into northern and western areas, a few of them drifting into england and wales trust there will be some sunny spells in between the showers, quite a blustery wind to be expected and maximum temperatures getting up to about 9—10 celsius. so we keep those mild conditions. moving into sunday, looking at the isobars, they're quite close together, indicating stronger winds, more rain coming south and east during the day but again there will be some sunny spells in between the showers. this is business live from bbc news with david eades and maryam moshiri. the cheque's not in the post. the us government shutdown means thousands of workers

won't get paid today. live from london, that's our top story on friday 11th january. much of the us government is paralysed by a political standoff over donald trump's plans to build a wall on the border with mexico. but for thousands of workers, the political just became very personal. also in the programme... former nissan boss carlos ghosn is slapped with two new financial misconduct charges in japan.
