6:02 am
right—wing extremists. they make up a growing amount of work for counterterrorism detectives and now there are concerns the heated debate over brexit could stir things up further. we saw a spike in hate crime after the referendum. that has never really receded. so there is a lwa ys never really receded. so there is always a possibility of people being radicalised by the kind of febrile atmosphere we have at the moment and we wa nt atmosphere we have at the moment and we want people to report anything that we think is going to lead to violent confrontation and people need to calm down. a new campaign is being launched to encourage people to report suspicious activity. the message, communities defeat terrorism. the new counterterrorism to will be shown at 120 cinemas across the country, reaching a potential audience of 5 million people. it comes at a time when the terror threat level remains at severe with police carrying out a record number of investigations. counterterrorism officers say in terms of operational security no—deal brexit would be a very bad

6:14 am
wintry showers across the south—east, wet and rain. a fair bit of low cloud. similar story with some wintry showers in places, some rain showers in others, the risk of ice. moving north, dense fog across parts of greater manchester but not just exclusively here, northern ireland and scotland at risk of ice on untreated surfaces. could well be some treacherous conditions. in some of the heavy showers, some of that to lower levels and not too far away from parts of suffolk and also essex. a cold evening once again under clear skies, the temperatures quickly dropping away. it is visiting —— sinking steadily southwards. these are the temperature values. 0nce southwards. these are the temperature values. once again,
6:15 am
there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces if you are heading out early in the day. as we had on into thursday, not much in the breath of wind in that case, and other front coming the breath of wind in that case, and otherfront coming in the breath of wind in that case, and other front coming in from the west. we start off with the remnants of wintry showers pushing south eastwards. as this next system comes in from the west introducing more cloud and patchy rain, note the difference in the temperatures. in the west, it is going to be less cold than it is going to be in the east. that's quite significant. what is happening, we got a weather front coming our way. it's a warm front. hot on its heels in the north, we have a cold front. tomorrow, milder airand have a cold front. tomorrow, milder air and we've had in the last couple of days. as the weather front moves from west to east, it takes cloud with it and is going to take rain. the second weather front, more
6:16 am
persistent rain, particularly across western scotland. note the temperatures. not as cold anywhere. in between these two fronts, it's a warm sector. behind the warm front and looking at sixes, up to ten in some parts. then as we move on into the weekend, the cold front in the north on friday will sink south, taking rain with it as it does so. by taking rain with it as it does so. by the time we get to sunday, is going to be colder but potentially brighterfor going to be colder but potentially brighter for many of us in that northerly wind. look at those temperatures, back down to sixes and sevens. the new working week is looking unsettled. rain and snow in the forecast. lots of pictures people sending me of little dusting is of snow. it was nice to get out to the pennines early. ijust strolled in, pulled in

6:18 am
kill my daughter. that's a quote from paul russell, whose14—year—old daughter molly took her own life after viewing images on the photo—sharing site which seem to glorify self—harm and suicide. the daily mail there. and the daily mirror reports on the "rage" ofjames bulger‘s parents after a film about their son's murder was nominated for an oscar. it also shows a picture of holly willoughby at last night's national television awards. they will be celebrating, won't they? 0ne they will be celebrating, won't they? one of my favourite things about those awards is the way they celebrate. they really know how to celebrate. they really know how to celebrate. they've got a bit of time. that's true. they've not had to walk all night. we also haven't had to celebrate. the big day of business news. loads of stuff going
6:19 am
on. probably the biggest headlines of the day was something all the papers are picking up on. the decision of dyson to move its headquarters to singapore from the uk. very successful businessman, james dyson, phenomenal business but the daily mail's take on it, the business editor, hypocrite's shameless desertion. sirjames dyson was one of the biggest backers of brexit, the uk leaving the european union, and there's been a lot of criticism, if you are backing us to leave, and go our own way with our own trade deals, why would you move their headquarters abroad? the people who run the business, the board and chief executive of said, we are a global company. we make huge amounts of money in asia, a lot of our mac huge amounts of money in asia, a lot of ourmac —— huge amounts of money in asia, a lot of our mac —— vacuum cleaners in
6:20 am
asia. it makes sense for us to move. there is some criticism around, actually. this is the time for sir james dyson. it wasn't him delivering. another quick one. patisserie valerie went into administration. 900 gone already. that fly has been bothering you for a while. mr miyagi. you mentioned victoria pendleton, she is given the next ordinary interview to the daily telegraph. she talks about wanting to harm herself. she is talking about crippling depression after her attempt to climb everest. she talks
6:21 am
about the team gb psychologist steve peters and says she thinks she might not be around now, talks about a scary time this summer when she did not know what she was doing and spoke about how desperate she was feeling. she went to costa rica where no—one knew her and went into the sea every day and says that's the sea every day and says that's the think —— that's the things she thinks has saved her that she has ongoing mental health issues she is talking about really publicly because she thinks that's the only way for people to recognise that lots of people are in a similar boat. another couple of things. this is from the telegraph. pushy pa rents. is from the telegraph. pushy parents. damian hinds is saying... i wasn't looking at you. the education
6:22 am
secretary says teachers should not be spending their evenings and weekends responding to emails from pushy parents. teachers should shun the huge email volume compounds. he has been speaking about this. i'm presently digitally untethered. i don't know whether i will look —— when i will look at this email, brilliant. it's like a conscious uncoupling. i mentioned mr miyagi. this is britain's youngest blackbelt. here he is on the left hand. he is only is only eight years old and his name is mayon
6:23 am
jayawickrama, and he trains with his mum. they're of singh karate kid. i've seen karate kid in french. the things you remember. how does he retain these bits of really useful information? i wouldn't class the french title of the film karate kid as useful. proton beam therapy is a form of radiotherapy used to treat certain types of cancer. the state—of—the—art treatment was introduced on the nhs at the christie hospital in manchester last month. breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet 15—year—old mason, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in october, and is one of the centre's first patients. it looks like something out of star trek and proton beam therapy using charged particles from a cyclotron
6:24 am
sounds like science fiction but this specialised form of radiotherapy, the first in the uk, is now up and running at the christie hospital in manchester. 30, 40! 15—year—old mason is one of the first to be treated here. he was diagnosed with a brain tumour last october and is come here from west sussex. the worst news possible to get as apparent, to have a phone call, your child has a brain tumour. it has been a difficult time for the whole family. hi, mason, iron and i'm going to show you the men —— the machine you are going to be having your treatment on. mason is being given a guided tour of the therapy room. sue is the green bin where it is aiming it? proton therapy works by targeting cancer is very precisely. it causes less damage than normal radiotherapy and is
6:25 am
particularly effective. children have tissues which are still developing, anything you can do despair those normal tissues from the effects of radiation treatment, the effects of radiation treatment, the better it will be to them in the long—term. the better it will be to them in the long-term. how i feel about this is very nerve—racking, and am quite nervous about it but it makes me better i'm happy about it and it will make me a bit happier. proton beam therapy first hit the headlines four years ago when the parents of asher king took their child abroad to get the treatment. he eventually had that therapy in the czech republic and his parents say he is cancer free. the new republic and his parents say he is cancerfree. the new centre in manchester will see up to 750 patients a year and another centre will open in london in 2020, meaning fewer people will have to travel to europe and america. mason's treatment starts today, it will take
6:26 am
six weeks and he is already looking forward to life after proton therapy. i'm going to try to get in school again, in science like i a lwa ys school again, in science like i always love, and try to go to university and become a doctor.|j always love, and try to go to university and become a doctor. i am proud of him whatever he wants. but whatever it is, it will be fantastic. there is hope here of a better future. good luck to mason today. we'll be speaking to the lead radiographer for proton beam therapy at the christie just after 8. hospital, that programme, i was watching and one of the kids had to go to germany for proton beam therapy. there is another centre opening in london in a couple of yea rs' opening in london in a couple of years' time so it does make a difference. still to come on breakfast, learning to programme computers — or coding as its known — is now taught in primary schools. we'll find out about a new teaching aid which helps visually impaired children learn coding skills.

later this summer. there's also a home world cup to look forward to, and england start 2019 in good form having recently beaten india and sri lanka. it is an exciting summer. there is a huge amount of really exciting cricket to come with the world cup, ashes around the corner as well. it's something that everyone is really looking forward to. it has been a really strong message within the dressing room that we are here to do the dressing room that we are here todoa the dressing room that we are here to do a job and make sure that the full focus for this tour is to make sure that we are doing everything we can individually, collectively to win the series. and in perhaps the least surprising news of the day, usain bolt has retired from football. the eight—time olympic champion tried his best to become a footballer after retiring from athletics. he trained with loads of clubs, most significantly with the central coast mariners in australia. but they couldn't afford to offer him a contract, so he's off to try something new. perhaps...
6:41 am
he i see him i] m yeah. i could see him acting. could gear? yeah. i could see him acting. could §~é yes, = yeah. i could see him acting. could g; yes, i = yeah. i could see him acting. could g; yes, i could. yeah. i could see him acting. could é? yes, i could. eric cantona... you? yes, i could. eric cantona... he had a double. he did really well. yes. thank you. see you later. we are going to return to a story we have been talking about with sally. after scouring more than 1,000 square miles of the channel, emiliano sala say conditions remain challenging. rescuers searching for traces of the plane carrying footballer emiliano sala say conditions remain challenging. after making a record signing for cardiff city at the weekend, sala was flying to wales from france tojoin the premier league club, when air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane near guernsey. we're joined now by cardiff city supporters club spokesman, vince alm. really appreciate you coming on the programme this morning. it is an incredibly sad story. as time goes on obviously hope of any sort of positive end to this really does diminish. what has been the reaction
6:42 am
from yourself and from so many of the cardiff city fans who were delighted with the signing and looking forward to him playing for your club? yes, there was a lot of shock, there has been devastation, and to stress among some of the fans. empathy towards sala, the pilot and the family, and just praying and hoping that a positive outcome will come. as time goes on, as you say, things have become very desperate now and people are starting to accept that maybe they are not going to be found, especially with some of the stories now knocking around, as things become clearer. give us an idea of what it was like when you knew you we re what it was like when you knew you were signing someone, he has a good goalscoring record in the french league, and someone, every football pundit looks at cardiff and teams in your position and says, you need to score goals and hopefully this was going to be the guy. it was, yes, we
6:43 am
have been hearing about it for a few months, but the last few weeks while the deal has been getting done we haven't been scoring goals at all. i don't think we have scored a goal this year yet. and people, myself included, thought this was the guy, seeing videos of him scoring goals with both feet, his head, hard—working, scoring with both feet, his head, ha rd—working, scoring penalties, with both feet, his head, hard—working, scoring penalties, we thought if we give this guy the service he will get us and keep us in the division so there was a lot of hope and expectation on this player to be the catalyst to keep us in this division, and obviously we are shocked and devastated that we may not have that opportunity seeing him play for us, but he had become not our own, you know, with the starting 11 for arsenal to play with him, so he was always... he had become part of the club in the last two or three weeks. we have been waiting for him to come. everybody was excited to watch him play and
6:44 am
hopefully score the goals for us. and now we are not going to get that opportunity. i am sure you have seen the pictures from france where fans of his club have been gathering together to pay tribute to their former player. i wonder if you could tell us how sound of cardiff city have come together with this terrible news. we are laying out tributes here, we have a statue outside the ground here with people laying flowers and flags and reflecting. we have groups gathering around. last evening i was with a group of supporters. and people paying tribute. he was a nice guy. you listen to his interviews, you hear him talking about his mum, he came across as a really nice fellow. and it isjust came across as a really nice fellow. and it is just a sad came across as a really nice fellow. and it isjust a sad human side of it as well, you know, such a nice person with his life ahead of him, a young man having the dream of premier league football, and it
6:45 am
looks as if that could be taken away from him now as time goes on. at cardiff fa ns from him now as time goes on. at cardiff fans have reflected on that and they have reflected on the human side of it. and it is galvanising when something like this happen. we have all come together. and i am sure that as time goes on, it is raw at the moment, there will be more tributes and some fitting stuff will happen with the home game against bournemouth. really appreciate your time this morning, thank you so much. i know that it's been difficult forfans much. i know that it's been difficult for fans to hear the story and to also know that there is no real confirmation of that story yet, but as you said most are fearing the worst. it is so incredibly sad. the stories in the papers about him sending messages to family and friends in argentina to say i am worried about this plan, if you don't hearfrom me, you know what's happened. really sad times for the clu b happened. really sad times for the club and obviously the investigation is ongoing and we know that they will start looking for the plane early this morning but conditions
6:46 am
have been difficult as well. there is the risk but there is the risk of ice. the met office has a yellow weather warning. it was like an as ring. dense fog patches. parts of north—west england. a lot of low cloud and the south—east. there is ice dotted around the charts. it is of course on untreated surfaces. some of the heavier bursts like
6:47 am
yesterday, some down to lower levels. not as widespread as yesterday. in between wintry showers, across parts of the south—east in the west, there will bea south—east in the west, there will be a lot sunshine around. a cold day to most. introducing picket cloud. it is going to be another cold day. northern england, introducing some wintry showers. by the end of the night, they are going to be resting rust —— from the wash into wales. clear skies, frosty, the risk of ice. temperatures won't be as low. 0ur
6:48 am
ice. temperatures won't be as low. our little system and then we have this warm front coming in, with a cold front not too far away but in between these two, it is a warm sector. it's not go to be as cold behind this front coming in. the front will introduce a lot of cloud. meanwhile, our other weak system pushes down to the south—east. he could see some of that even at lower levels. it will clear away. a bit more cloud around tomorrow. some brightness as well. as we had in from thursday to friday, our warm front from thursday to friday, our warm fro nt m oves from thursday to friday, our warm front moves across, taking rain with it. this cold front comes in and we will see cold air. here is the cold front coming across the north—west. persistent rain. temperatures wise, quite a change from what we've been
6:49 am
used to. there is a mild air behind the warm front. look at the cold air sta rts the warm front. look at the cold air starts to filter it further south. do the weekend, wind change. a cold direction price anyway. by the time we get to sunday, once again, we could be looking at further wintry showers. look at all the cold are above us. ever struggled to find a cash machine? the country's atm network says it's going to do more to try and keep free cash machines available. sean has all the details. sean? we will look at the german cash has seen its work next week. good morning everybody. that's right: there's been a lot of criticism of the closure of cash
6:50 am
machines in remote or poorer areas. this is all about trying to change that. every cash machine in the country is connected to a network called link. that's some 70,000 atms. most run by banks or private companies. around 50,000 of these are free to use. but who pays? well each time you use a machine the operator is paid a fee by your card issuer. to cover costs and provide a bit of profit on top. the standard fee at the moment is 22 pence. but because people have been using less cash, fewer withdrawals are being made and so cash machine operators are finding it harder to keep some machine open that don't get used much. link already pays more to operators in remote or deprived areas. but from next april, it's introducing what it calls a super premium. operators of machines in some of the most vulnerable and remote areas will get up to £2.75 per withdrawal. it's all in a bid to make sure free—to—use atms stay
6:51 am
where they are needed. (ani off) the —— will it be enough? age and roberts, do you think it will be profitable, what difference will be profitable, what difference will help? you are absolutely right, the weight which we pay is changing. that means we are using atms less. there are large numbers of people who still choose atms. it's important we maintain this geographic coverage and why we are
6:52 am
choosing these premiums. it's about increasing the level of financial support. making sure they continue to be commercially viable as they use them less and to ensure they stay open and they don't change to become paying machines. have you spoken to members, if you pay us to pounds 75 of these transactions, we will definitely keep them open? we've been planning this for a number of months, will spoken to members and regulators, and have had lots of feedback to say this will absolutely help to maintain the geographic footprints. does that mean no more closures? link doesn't own or operate atms, however what we can do is offer commercial incentives such as this one we are talking about. you come to £2 75, is
6:53 am
that a level which. more closures around the country? £2 75 as a premium is much higher, about £1 65. this premium is far higher and should remove any economic reason why would close. it seems we could well be heading for my closing cash machines. you don't know your members won't close more. atms are closing but that's because it's less. most of them are on busy high streets. what link is really concerned about is the atms in the remote, rural and deprived areas where there are less alternatives. link is committed to maintaining these atms. consumers really have nothing to worry about because of the strength of that commitment. talking about the busy machines, a big increase in ram raids.
6:54 am
horrendous pictures being shared on social media about a ram raiding of atms. doubled we heard last month, compared to the year before. what are you doing to put off people attacking your machines? link takes atm crime very seriously, we work with law enforcement agencies, and we share information. we also offer rewards and if anybody has information, do contact crimestoppers. we are continually sharing information to increase security. thank you very much. across the uk, that may help fewer closures of cash machines. learning to programme computers — or coding as it's known —
6:55 am
is becoming an essential skill, and one that children are being taught in primary schools. it presents particular challenges for visually impaired children, but there is help on hand in the form of a new teaching aid, as our technology correspondent, rory cellan—jones reports. i think we need six... theo, who's blind, and his sighted friend, 0llie, have a common passion — computer programming or coding. and now there is a way they can do it together — a system where theyjoin up these pods to build a programme. music plays. 0k, and then we need to loop all of that. at the moment, many children start learning coding with a simple visual programme called scratch, but that doesn't really work if you're visually impaired. well, sadly, i wasn't able to do any coding before this came along because what was happening was the class were doing scratch and i wasn't able tojoin in. how interested are you in computer coding generally? very interested!
6:56 am
on a scale of one to ten, it's definitely ten. this physical computer coding language will now be available to schools around the world. it's taken four years to develop and the microsoft researcher in charge of the project had a very personal reason the getting involved. plays piano. cecily morrison's son ronan was born blind and that got her thinking about how visually—impaired children could be included in coding lessons. so we need one play statement and we put it in a loop... working with her microsoft colleagues, she decided that what was needed was something that combined music with a physical coding language. each of these is a single line of code. it's one statement in your programme and children connect these pods together to create multiple lines of code and then they can run their code and to understand how their code is working. dozens of children have been testing what's now called code jumper. i think it's an excellent invention. it really helps visually—impaired people to code. and it helps the two of you kind
6:57 am
of cement your friendship? yeah. yes. now codejumper is coming out of testing and into the real world, the hope is that it make learning to code easier and more fun for everyone. what a wonderful and absolutely brilliant idea. i love that it was his mum who came up with it. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. "it feels like a civil war running on our streets", those were the words of a grieving uncle during bbc london's debate on knife crime.
6:58 am
an audience of young people and youth workers discussed the causes of violence and how to put a stop to the stabbings which have claimed 3 lives so far this year. chris preddie — who mentors teenagers — says it's down to communities to step up. they keep saying to us we need to take ownership and every same time, keep pointing the fingers, pointing the fingers. stop and search your kids before they leave the house. we need to start pointing the fingers at the police and the government because guess what, they are only dealing with the problem when it actually happens. we know what's going on in the community. how much of that is building rapport? and you can watch london's knife wars: what's the solution? that's tonight at 10.45 on bbc one. you can also listen to the debate on bbc radio london — where there'll be a phone—in afterwards. londoners receive the worst care for asthma in the uk, putting them at risk of a life—threatening attack. that's according to an asthma uk report, which found two thirds of sufferers in the capital are not getting
6:59 am
the care that could keep them out of hospital, including having a review every year and being on the right medication. time now for this morning's travel. first let's take a look at the tubes — there are minor delays on the northern line following an earlier faulty train. the 0verground is part suspended from romford to upminster and tfl rail services are running with minor delays. moving onto the roads — these are the westbound delays on the north circular heading out of chingford towards edmonton following a breakdown at the exit of the fore street tunnel. and in walthamstow, forest road remains closed between the chingford road at the bell junction to shernhall street following a collision overnight. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a cold start this morning. we had some snowfall last night, didn't settle everywhere but parts of north—west london, parts of hertfordshire, buckinghamshire did see a little bit of a coverage, so a cold start this morning, a very
7:00 am
icy start but it is at least dry. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for us, the danger of slippery roads and surfaces. now, even if it fell as rain, it is likely to freeze this morning as the temperature is down below zero. we have variable amounts of cloud today, but some bright spells mixed in there as well, the showers really sticking out towards these perhaps parts of the essex coast, the north kent coast, you may get! or 2, temperatures between 2 and 4 celsius, so a very cold day. 0vernight tonight will see the temperature drop again, down below zero. lengthy clear spells, so we're looking at —2, maybe —3 by dawn tomorrow morning. a very chilly start to thursday, quite a bit of cloud will start to move in through the course of the day, and the temperature, a little less cold, and that's really the trend for the next few days. we have temperatures rising just a little towards the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom
7:01 am
in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: the search for a light aircraft carrying footballer emiliano sala will resume in the channel at first light. the uk's top counter—terrorism officer warns that right—wing extremists could exploit people's worries around brexit and calls for calm. when is an instagram post an advert? 16 celebrities with 70 million followers between them admit they must be clearer when they're being paid to endorse products and services. serena williams is out of the australian open. she loses four match points and then loses the match to karolina pliskova. an emotional night at the national television awards, as ant and dec win best presenters for the 18th time. the one reason we have won the award is because of this guy,
7:02 am
his hard work, dedication, wit and being the best mate there is out there. love you, man. well done. it isa it is a cold and frosty start of the day with the risk of widespread ice on untreated surfaces. wintry showers in the east and west but in between there will be sunshine. i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's wednesday, january 23. our top story: britain's most senior counter—terrorism police officer has warned that right—wing extremists could exploit what he described as the febrile atmosphere around brexit. assistant commissioner neil basu said he was concerned about the creeping threat posed by far—right groups. here's our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. march 2017, the murderous attack by khalid masood outside houses
7:03 am
of parliament was the first of five terror attacks in six months. since that day, police and the security service m15 have foiled 18 other plots, most of them islamist inspired. four plots involved right—wing extremists. they make up a growing amount of work for counterterrorism detectives, and now there are concerns the heated debate over brexit could stir things up further. we saw a spike in hate crime after the referendum. that has never really receded. so there is always a possibility that people are being radicalised by the kind of febrile atmosphere we have at the moment, and we want people to report anything that we think is going to lead to violent confrontation, and people need to calm down. a new campaign is being launched to encourage people to report suspicious activity. the message — communities defeat terrorism. the new counterterrorism film will be shown at 120 cinemas across the country, reaching a potential audience of 5 million people. it comes at a time when the terror threat level remains at severe, with police carrying out a record
7:04 am
number of investigations. counterterrorism officers say, in terms of operational security, no—deal brexit would be a very bad thing, though the home office maintains the uk will continue to be a very safe country. that's return to the top story now. argentinian striker emiliano sala, who went missing after the plane he was travelling in disappeared on monday, reportedly sent a message to his family expressing concern about the aircraft. the search for the missing aeroplane is resuming in the english channel this morning. let's speak to our reporter tomos morgan, who is at the cardiff city stadium. it is one of those stories, isn't it, we fear the worst because it has been such a long time, but there is still the search ongoing this morning as soon as we get first light. that is exactly right. the
7:05 am
search took place all day yesterday. they carried around 1000 square miles of the english channel searching for any sign of the plane that disappeared late on monday night. nothing of significance has been found just yet. the only sighting was a flair that was reported to have been seen around the time that the plane was said to have lost contact with air traffic control, but as i say nothing of significance has been reported to have been found just yet. and the search and rescue services on the channel islands have said that the chances of finding any survivors are slim due to the severe weather that the plane was travelling through, but also due to the freezing cold temperatures of the channel and what those individuals could have been
7:06 am
subject to have they gone down. now, of course, this news has had a devastating impact on both supporters of his former club and of course in cardiff city here, and cardiff city supporters trust have spoken about the impact this has had on bluebird fans. there was a lot of shock, devastation and distress among some of the fans. empathy towards sala, the pilot and the family, and just praying and hoping that a positive outcome will come. as you say, things have become very desperate now and people are starting to accept that maybe they are not going to be found. now, the argentinian footballer has been one of the top scorers in the top—flight french football for the last couple of years, he is third at the moment,
7:07 am
well, he was third for the french footballing charts with 12 goals and it was seen as quite a coup to sign him for £15 million from nantes with a number of other premiership clubs after his signature, so now doubt this has had an impact on maybe their future and their season, but of course the news of the moment, what has happened to emiliano sala, the 28—year—old argentine and the pilot. and as i say the search will continue at first light in the next hour. tomos morgan, thank you for that. that is covered on the front pages and many of the back pages with lots of the page paying tribute to the player at his old club in nantes. some reports as well that he had been talking to friends while he was on the plane, saying that he was scared, saying that the plane seemed to be falling to pieces. so, real concern about
7:08 am
what may have happened. the search continues. still slender hope. yes. some of the biggest names on social media have agreed to be more explicit when they've been paid to promote something online. sean's got all the details on this one for us. it is specific about a number of people. 16 celebrities including ellie golding, michelle keegan, and it's all about endorsements online. we are used to scrolling through twitter, instagram, facebook, and you see the pictures celebrities put on about their day to day life, and the things they may be using. the difference is when they are wearing a nice dress or they say they had a great time somewhere that they went out, if they were being paid to say that, like your tv advert that you might see in a break, they need to
7:09 am
make it really clear that that is the case, because you can't differentiate between them. so the competition and markets authority the regulator is trying to clamp down on this to make it more transparent for people who are following these celebrities, so they know that when they are being influenced by a big business paying them somewhere and when it is just their day happened to be wearing and what they like doing. there are some celebrities who clearly say this is an endorsement in partnership with... yes, exactly. and a lot of these celebrities we mentioned in this 16 will at some point have done that as well, but are they doing it often enough? are they putting the little #spon that you see under the instagram post? 0r little #spon that you see under the instagram post? or even under their handle on instagram, it might say, paid for by someone so, all backed by whichever company. and we will speak with the boss of the competition and markets authority to
7:10 am
see how they will enforce this because there could be unlimited fines and jail sentences. thank you very much. when are you doing that? half—an—hour. thank you. former chancellor george osborne has likened leaving the eu without a deal to playing russian roulette with the uk economy. he told the bbc at the world economic forum that delaying brexit after the 29th march is the most likely option and would allow time to explore alternative deals. well, the gun is held to the british economy's head, if you like. you know, russian roulette is a game which you should never play, in which there is a one in six chance that the bullet goes into your head. and if you start pretending that we might leave without a deal, then that might become a reality. and i think it's interesting that my successor philip hammond has sensibly told british business leaders that that's not a possibility. but we now need to hear it from the british prime minister. we'll speak to international trade secretary liam fox at 7:20am. victims of sexual or violent crime who claim compensation
7:11 am
can find the process so stressful it can re—trigger trauma, according to the victims' commissioner for england and wales. in a review, baroness newlove says the process can have a detrimental impact on the wellbeing of survivors and the compensation process needs to be simplified. the ministry ofjustice says it is "committed to ensuring that victims receive the help and support needed to rebuild their lives" and says a review of the system is ongoing. zimbabwe's human rights commission has accused security forces of using systematic torture against protesters. there have been numerous reports of assaults allegedly carried out by the military, since violent protests broke out more than a week ago following a sharp rise in fuel prices. the president insists abuse against civilians will not be tolerated. flights were grounded at newark international airport in the us state of newjersey after two drones were spotted flying nearby. a pilot told air traffic control that one of the drones came within 30 feet of his aircraft. he was flying at a nearby private airport, but officials closed newark international as a precaution.
7:12 am
the airport is the 11th busiest in the us, with 20 million people boarding there each year. ant and dec were named as best presenters for the 18th time at the national television awards last night. applause. there are crowds in the studio! laughter. we are not used to that! that's despite ant mcpartlin taking a break from a number of tv shows, after his arrest for drink driving last year. the biggest winners of the night were bodyguard and emmerdale, both taking home two awards. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba was there. it's the biggest night of celebration for tv‘s most popular shows and stars. up until this year, and and dec had won best presenter 17 times in a row, but after ant‘s drink—driving conviction many wondered whether the public would vote them winners again. they did...
7:13 am
and and dec. cheering. ..for a record—breaking 18th time. the one reason we won the award this year is because of this man. this is ps bud, the new ppo. pleasure to meet you. tense drama bodyguard was a double winner, star richard madden winning best drama performance, and the show which had record—breaking viewing figures won best new drama. it was great, thrilling to see that, and for the amount of people that enjoyed that week—to—week and managed to go through all of these stories in our head and do it together was something different and new. for the fourth year in a row, the prize for best talent show went to... strictly come dancing! cheering. where are you going?! peter kay's car share won best comedy. get back in the car! best serial drama performance went to eastender‘s danny dyer. victims of sexual or violent crimes
7:14 am
are able to claim compensation to help them access counselling or improve safety measures around their home. the process requires victims to constantly repeat and relive what happpened to them, which can re—trigger their original trauma. the victims' commissioner for england and wales, baroness newlove, is calling for reform of the system and joins us now from our london newsroom. very good morning to you, thank you for joining very good morning to you, thank you forjoining us. it is good to speak to you again. tell us a little about this experience people seem to be having in the retelling, how do you see it affecting people? this review is very important because the injuries compensation is there to heal victims of serious crime, and so for me this is not about traumatising them to go through the process that is supposed to help them recover. so how should it
7:15 am
change, do you think?|j them recover. so how should it change, do you think? i am asking the government in this review to look at my recommendations, looking ata look at my recommendations, looking at a support package, because it's not seem as a support service, but a transactional service, and i want a named caseworker. at the moment there is nothing people can put a name or number two. secondly i am also asking for free legal advice for victims, because this review showed 40% were turning to a third party, namely solicitors, which in adverse effect of that is they take 2596 adverse effect of that is they take 25% of their award. so we have to make this a lot better to make them recover. you have to negotiate your way through this as well. yes, it is very much justifying every bit as you've gone through the court trial. the police —— the police records will have all the information. the police —— the police records
7:16 am
will have all the informationm the police —— the police records will have all the information. it is also fear to go to go to counselling. it's very traumatic. we shouldn't put we shouldn't put them through and traumatise them the records to them to carry on seamlessly. you had to go through the process yourself, how did you find it? i found it very traumatic. asa find it? i found it very traumatic. as a legal pa, in 2008 this was, but i have to say, i was up early hours trying to complete them, making sure that everything was in order but it's such a lengthy process and again, there was no caseworker and no support and again, they advise you to go and see a solicitor but you to go and see a solicitor but you shouldn't, we are suffering and trying to get support to move on. picking up that bought about helping
7:17 am
victims, it's not necessarilyjust about money, is it? were big it's all about, when you mention the word compensation, it's about pound signs, victims are put off applying to criminal injuries because the defence barrister may cross—examine them in court and say they are in it for the them in court and say they are in it forthe mining. we them in court and say they are in it for the mining. we look at the time limit because if victims do not apply to an application within two yea rs, apply to an application within two years, they are out of time. so one of the recommendations is, they can either log it or they can have 12 months after a court case. people are missing out because of court cases going on so long. most victims are going to a third party. some victims are going to other victims
7:18 am
to co m plete victims are going to other victims to complete these important forms. victims are going to other victims to complete these important formslj am asking for a reform of the compensation process because it's out there to help them. it shouldn't be the last resort and they shouldn't feel as if it's a begging bowl for them. the ministry of justice says they are making changes as part of the review. is that enough for you? it's a positive. but we have victims going through this system already and we need to move quicker and look at the ratten —— the recommendations. we can get this system better for victims. because we traumatising victims isn't the way forward. we have to help them to move on in the best way we can and this needs to be looked at immediately. baroness, thank you to talking to us. there would be snow at that. definitely dusting is. look at that. definitely dusting is. look at that. definitely dusting is. look at that for a picture. good morning
7:19 am
both, some of us saw a lot more than a dusting and it still snowing in places. snow across parts of the north—west. still some in the forecast. it's cold start. as if that wasn't enough, we also have boggedin that wasn't enough, we also have bogged in this morning's forecast, fog across greater manchester into cumbria, southern scotland and also shropshire. the biggest hazard this morning is ice. looking at widespread ice. your bbc local radio station will keep you updated. there is also a lot of low cloud which will eventually think and break. 0ne to showers coming in. could have a wintry element. still the risk of
7:20 am
ice and untreated surfaces. the same to northern england and ireland. northern ireland, seeing showers. turning back to rain through the day. across northern and western scotland, still some wintry showers. we will see some of that getting down to lower levels. to the course of that day there will be some sunshine, quite a lot actually and it's going to be a cold, crisp day. how towards the west, cloud coming out. as a result, temperatures a bit higher. do this evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies around. by the end of the night, resting somewhere from the washington north wales. that's likely to have a wintry element as well. in some of the heavier bursts, well. in some of the heavier bursts, we could see that. behind it, clear skies. there is also going to be some frost. but not so in the west
7:21 am
we re we some frost. but not so in the west were we still have a system approaching, introducing cloud and also some light rain at this stage. temperatures here are a bit higher. elsewhere, mostly freezing. that is towns and cities. in our system does make an appearance. it's a warm front. i did, make an appearance. it's a warm front. idid, it's make an appearance. it's a warm front. i did, its not going to be as cold. first thing in the morning, the progress of that little system moving towards south—east. some sleet, may be snow at lower levels. meanwhile, we do have all this cloud. temperatures a little bit higher. friday, less called for a saw. thank you very much. movers and shakers from the world of international politics and business are in the swiss ski resort of davos and there's one topic that's dominating
7:22 am
the agenda: brexit. the northern ireland backstop continues to grab the headlines but there's also the matter of britain's trading future to negotiate. international trade secretary liam fox is there and he joins us now. george osborne was not too far away from where you are. leaving the eu without a deal would be like way —— playing russian roulette the uk economy, he says. is he right? we don't want to leave without a deal, that's the point. the best way to have no deal is to agree a deal and thatis have no deal is to agree a deal and that is what the prime minister is exploring with parliamentarians, to see the can find a consensus in parliament and to talk to the european union about that. you say that brags it is a big issue. the
7:23 am
rise of protectionism and what the uk is doing is to say we are staunch defenders of free trade system. the debate is much bigger here than bridge —— brexit. debate is much bigger here than bridge -- brexit. brexit is free much on your agenda, i imagine. bridge -- brexit. brexit is free much on youragenda, i imagine. 0ne thing that george osborne —— 0sborne said was the extension of the time period. is that likely?” said was the extension of the time period. is that likely? iwouldn't be betting on that at all. the law says, we will be leaving on the 29th of march because the treaties won't be enacted. the question now is, can we reach a deal with the european union? 0n the issue that seems to be the big sticking point, the irish backstop, the irish prime minister has again said would help a minister
7:24 am
has again said would help a minister has said, none of us want to see a hardboard has said, none of us want to see a ha rdboa rd and ireland. has said, none of us want to see a hardboard and ireland. we believe thatis hardboard and ireland. we believe that is the best way to maintain peace and security across the island of ireland. can we now find an mechanism which makes that possible while removing the backstop that would track the united kingdom in a customs union. that is what is happening, and we will leave no stone unturned which allows us to leave the european union with a deal and avoids any potential disruption to our economy. he talked about free trade a couple of times. ijust wonder, is there a point at which you regret some of the confidence expressed? you regret some of the confidence expressed ? 0rganising you regret some of the confidence expressed? 0rganising the free—trade agreements would be some of the easiest in human history. did you or any others fail? before you continue, that is absolutely incorrect. i have listened again, july 200017. incorrect. i have listened again, july 2000 17. what i said
7:25 am
incorrect. i have listened again, july 200017. what i said was, the free—trade agreement with the european union, which occurs after we have left the european union, should technically be one of the easiest because we begin with absolutely regulatory and legislative —— legislative equivalents which is not normal in a trade agreement. normally trade agreements, countries are apart. this is unusual in that we begin at the same place. that is not the same as the withdrawal agreement. you also said those deals would be in place one minutes before midnight. it may not be possible to get all of them. one of the reasons i am other ministers i hear is to convince other countries that no deal is a genuine possibility. they need to prepare for that. because they don't prepare, even if it's temporary. the
7:26 am
trading relationship we have these countries, preferential basis. we can trade with them but that's not as favourable to either side so getting them to understand that no deal is possible is very vital, people say no deal simply won't happen or the period will be delayed, it actually diminishes the impetus for some of these other countries to come to that agreement for the united kingdom. we had to be very careful. i think it's important how these deals are progressing. some countries want willing to talk, are they not an string of phone? at what stage are some negotiations at the moment? we actually signed the mutual recognition agreement with australia last friday and new zealand last monday. it is likely that we will sign switzerland and chile in the next week. israel,
7:27 am
malaysia, columbia and other countries. then they have to go to parliament to ensure that we get parliamentary scrutiny and approval. then they would become the law. the process continues. we try to push them as fast as we can. indirect a nswered them as fast as we can. indirect answered to the question, it's not that countries are not speaking to us, it's looking at uk politics. we get the idea that it's not a possibility. my message to them is, no deal is certainly on the table. if we are unable to get an agreement, i hope we will get one but we need to be prudent and prepare for no dealing case that comes about. dr liam fox, we appreciate your time. it appears that lots of people are booking their summer holidays.
7:28 am
596 5% up. i was surprised, and then i remember we booked our summer holiday last week sir there you go. good on you. i have not done that. i'm not usually disorganised. my wife puts the wheels in order. time to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. "it feels like a civil war running on our streets", those were the words of a grieving uncle during bbc london's debate on knife crime. an audience of young people and youth workers discussed the causes of violence and how to put a stop to the stabbings chris preddie — who mentors teenagers and was awarded an 0be for his work — says it's down
7:29 am
to communities to step up. they keep saying to us we need to take ownership and every same time, keep pointing the fingers, pointing the fingers. stop and search your kids before they leave the house. we need to start pointing the fingers at the police and the government because guess what, they are only dealing with the problem when it actually happens. we know what's going on in the community. how much of that is building rapport? you can watch london's knife wars: what's the solution? tonight at 10.45 on bbc one. and you can have your say on bbc radio london's phone—in which will be taking place after the debate. londoners receive the worst care for asthma in the uk, putting them at risk of a life—threatening attack. that's according to an asthma uk report, which found two—thirds of sufferers in the capital are not getting the care that could keep them out of hospital. this includes having a yearly review and being on the right medication. time now for this morning's travel. starting with the tubes — there are minor delays on the northern line following an earlier faulty train. the 0verground also has minor delays between euston and watford junction and tfl rail services
7:30 am
still have minor delays too. moving onto the roads — westbound delays continue on the north circular as you can see here. heading out of chingford towards edmonton following a breakdown at the exit of the fore street tunnel. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a cold start this morning. we had some snowfall last night, didn't settle everywhere but parts of north—west london, parts of hertfordshire, buckinghamshire did see a little bit of a coverage, so a cold start this morning, a very icy start but it is at least dry. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for us, the danger of slippery roads and surfaces. even if it fell as rain, it is likely to freeze this morning as the temperature is down below zero. variable amounts of cloud today, but some bright spells mixed in there as well, the showers really sticking out towards these perhaps parts of the essex coast, the north kent coast, you may get! or 2, temperatures
7:31 am
between 2 and 4 celsius, so a very cold day. 0vernight tonight will see the temperature drop again, down below zero. lengthy clear spells, so we're looking at —2, maybe —3 by dawn tomorrow morning. chilly start to thursday, quite a bit of cloud will start to move in through the course of the day, and the temperature, a little less cold, the trend for the next few days. temperatures rising just a little towards the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: argentinian striker emiliano sala, who went missing after the plane he was travelling in disappeared on monday, reportedly sent a message
7:32 am
to his family expressing concern about the aircraft. the search for the missing aeroplane is resuming in the english channel this morning. let's speak to our reporter tomos morgan, who is at the cardiff city stadium. good morning. we still don't know what happened to this plane. more details emerging of things he was saying when he was on the plane. that's right, argentinian media have been reporting overnight that the argentinian 28—year—old had been sending voice messages via whatsapp to his family when he was on the piper malibu aircraft, saying i'm on a plane that looks like it's going to fall apart, clearly worried and scared about the journey that was taking place from nantes to cardiff on monday evening through some severe weather conditions, some more details on the state of what's
7:33 am
happening on that evening. but at the moment, still not closer to finding out what the result of that plane journey was. we know that the search is resuming this morning, but it is really difficult times for fa ns it is really difficult times for fans at cardiff city, isn't it? yes, imean, fans at cardiff city, isn't it? yes, i mean, emiliano sala, £15 million signing from nantes, he had been one of the top goalscorers in the last couple of years, fans hoping he would be able to provide much needed goals which would save the bluebirds from relegation. earlier we were speaking to and member of the cardiff supporters trust, who said how much of an impact it had on bluebird fans. it is a lot of shock, devastation, distress among some of the fans. empathy towards sala, the pilot and the family. and just
7:34 am
praying and hoping that a positive outcome would come. as time goes on as you say, things have become very desperate now. people are starting to accept that maybe they are not going to be found. the air rescue tea m going to be found. the air rescue team and the search and rescue teams that were searching yesterday covered at huge area of 1000 square kilometres. nothing of significance was found. the only sighting was a flair that was seen when the plane went down on monday evening. however, the rescue teams have also said that it seems very slim now is the word they use that any survival would happen now considering the amount of time that has happened in between monday night and now but also the freezing temperatures of the channel. thank you. britain's most senior counter—terrorism police officer has warned that right—wing extremists could exploit what he described as the febrile atmosphere around brexit. assistant commissioner neil basu said he was concerned about the creeping threat posed by far—right groups. he also warned that leaving the eu without a deal would be very bad
7:35 am
in terms of operational security. we saw a spike in hate crime after the referendum. former chancellor george osborne has likened leaving the eu without a deal to playing russian roulette with the uk economy. he told the bbc at the world economic forum that delaying brexit after the 29th march is the most likely option and would allow time to explore alternative deals. well, the gun is held to the british economy's head, if you like. you know, russian roulette is a game which you should never play, in which there is a one in six chance that the bullet goes into your head. and if you start pretending that we might leave without a deal, then that might become a reality. and i think it's interesting that my successor philip hammond has sensibly told british business leaders that that's not a possibility. but we now need to hear it from the british prime minister. zimbabwe's human rights commission has accused security forces of using systematic torture
7:36 am
against protesters. there have been numerous reports of assaults allegedly carried out by the military, since violent protests broke out more than a week ago following a sharp rise in fuel prices. the president insists abuse against civilians will not be tolerated. victims of sexual or violent crime who claim compensation can find the process so stressful it can re—trigger trauma, according to the victims' commissioner for england and wales. the ministry ofjustice says it is "committed to ensuring that victims receive the help and support needed to rebuild their lives" and says a review of the system is ongoing. earlier on the programme baroness newlove told us how she would like to see the compensation process improved. in last night's national television awards, ant and dec won best entertainment presenter for the 18th time in a row, despite ant mcpartlin's absence from a number of shows following a drink drive conviction. bodyguard and emmerdale were the biggest winners of the night, both taking home two
7:37 am
awards, but the recognition for ant and dec came as a surprise for the pair, who appeared on a live feed from the britain's got talent auditions. i am shaking here. we want to say thank you to everybody. i mean, i really don't feel like i can accept this award this year. the one reason we have won the award is because of this guy, his hard work, dedication, wit, and being the best mate there is out there. love you, man. well done. i must lead —— i'm a celebrity won. yes. they could still be celebrating. pulling another or lighter —— all
7:38 am
nighter. we have tennis to talk about this morning. yes, and we will keep you updated on the situation with the missing plane throughout the programme of course, but a surprise when you think that serena williams is out of the italian open. she looked in incredible form. she lost to karolina pliskova in melbourne. she lost to the seventh seed karolina pliskova in melbourne but she had her chances to win it. she was 5—1 up in the third set and had four match points, but rolled her ankle and lost all of them. pliskova through to the semi—finals. there is nothing i did wrong on those match points. i didn't do anything wrong. i stayed aggressive and she just literally hit the lines on some of them. and one she hit an ace, or, you know, unreturnable serve. i did everything i could of those matchpoint. it's not like i, yeah, i can't say that i choked on those match points. she literally played her best tennis ever on those shots. well, pliskova will play the us open champion naomi 0saka in the semis. 0saka just goes from strength to strength and beat elina svitolina in straight sets.
7:39 am
the 21—year—old from japan is becoming a real star in women's tennis. the double olympic champion victoria pendleton says she came very close to taking her own life last summer. in a very honest interview with the telegraph newspaper this morning she reveals the extent of her depression, and says an early morning phone call to sports psychologist dr steve peters saved her life. pendleton won cycling gold in beijing in 2008 and in london four years later. spare a thought for fans of burton albion. they're heading to the second leg of their league cup semi—final against manchester city tonight knowing they've got absolutely no chance of making it to the final. i feel bad saving it. they're nine, yes, nine nil down from the first leg, and city only need three more to set a record for the biggest ever win on aggregate in the competition.
7:40 am
the approach is to improve every single game can help us to improve what we want to do. for example, the last game was not perfect to understand the way to attack. because it was difficult for many reasons. it depends on the way they are going to defend how we are going to attack, more slowly, more better. england's cricketers are in the west indies at the start of what will be a cracking year. the first test against the west indies starts later today, look at that glorious sunny sky — and it's england's last test series before the ashes at home later this summer. there's also a home world cup to look forward to, and england start 2019 in good form having recently beaten india and sri lanka. and in perhaps the least surprising news of the day, usain bolt has retired from football. the eight—time olympic champion tried his best to become a footballer after retiring from athletics. he trained with loads of clubs, most significantly with the central coast mariners in australia.
7:41 am
but they couldn't afford to offer him a contract, so he's off to try something new. i don't know... what have you retired from recently? singing. that is disappointing. sorry, i apologise, i have retired quite early. his football career, i am apologise, i have retired quite early. his football career, iam not sure how successful it really was when you compare it to his athletics career. can ijust check when you compare it to his athletics career. can i just check something with you? anything. does it smell in here today? it is the elephant in the room, it does. i think it smells like someone has eaten some sort of vegetable soup and spilt it on the sofa. i did have a coffee spill recently, but i did clear it up. every time sally comes near me she does that... it smells like sprouts. it is not ours, 0k? it smells... and ican it is not ours, 0k? it smells... and i can reveal it is also a bit whiffy
7:42 am
outside. i think it is the whole building. it is a building issue. i suggested we open a window, but we don't have one. that is a relief, louise. laughter. i feel so don't have one. that is a relief, louise. laughter. ifeel so much better, thank you. everyone smells, not just us. better, thank you. everyone smells, notjust us. apologies better, thank you. everyone smells, not just us. apologies to better, thank you. everyone smells, notjust us. apologies to anyone who comes to be interviewed today. drones come in all shapes and sizes, from large ones to small ones. they are amazing gadgets but, if used illegally, are capable of causing major disruption — as we saw with the three—day closure of gatwickjust before christmas and of course overnight at newark in the us. many airports are now trialling new drone detection systems and breakfast‘s tim muffett has been given rare access to see one method in operation. london's southend airport, and on the control tower, there is a new kit. this is the control tower and what we're looking to do is monitor activity around the control. a remote control and a drone need to have some form of an indication, so we're not looking
7:43 am
for everything in spectrum, we are looking for specific activity a drone frequency operates at. so when a drone enters the airspeed, what that will do is operate asa warning. as this demonstration shows, drones can be hard to identify. the system confirms the one really is close by. how big an issue is this that is airport and others? so for us it is an increasing issue. obviously, the risk of a collision with a drone is still relatively low, but we have got to keep ahead of the game. that is the key thing, will want to prevent it happening in the first place and then also increasing powers for police as well. drones sightings at gatwick before christmas close the airport for three days, disruption huge.
7:44 am
the person or people responsible have still not been caught. the government recently announced that, from november, the rules surrounding drone use will be strengthened. all pilots will need to an online safety course, drones over 25g will have to be registered, and exclusion zones around airports will be increased. as things stand, anyone can buy or fly a drone. but at the drone pilot academy near milton keynes, operators are given full training. we are all doing it the proper way, but there are a lot of people out there who are not doing the proper way, and it is frustrating. from surveying the ground to shooting a film, drones are transforming many businesses. my wife thought it was just a boy's toy when i bought it, and she has seen already, the images you can get from it, you could not get in any other way. detecting a drone near an airport is one thing, getting rid of it is much harder.
7:45 am
first of all, you could fire guns at them, orfire missiles, and that is not going to work with the united kingdom environment. you could effectively blast, with a magnetic pulse, the sort of environment. the problem with that is that will probably cancel your mobile phone, white navigation aids on aeroplanes. are you saying that actually there is not much that can be done? nowhere in the world has got to a place that it is satisfactory. at the moment, what we can certainly do is track and attack. the system southend has now been installed at other uk airports. the latest attempt to prevent the huge disruption a drone citing can bring. —— sighting can bring. we will be looking at it in more detail later. huge variation. 25, 30 quid. but the one we are going to bring in later with thousands of pounds. what is it like out there,
7:46 am
carol? it's cold. good morning. a cold start. temperatures —9 in strathallan. after the snow that fell yesterday and overnight, it's freezing. there is a risk this morning of ice on untreated surfaces. the met office has a yellow warning out to that end. you can find out what's happening on your bbc local radio station. currently, wintry showers across kent. many of us, it's dry but it is a cold start. temperatures widely below freezing. the risk of ice is very much prevalent. showers could be wintry in nature. a lot of them, it is with height. shropshire, fog view this morning. the centre cumbria, greater manchester. that could be slow to clear. wintry showers across northern ireland. there will be a lot of sunshine and
7:47 am
low cloud. a fair bit of sunshine developing through the day. it could be crisp, cold and sunny for many but look what's happening out towards the west. more cloud building. she ran from that of the least it's keeping the temperature ata least it's keeping the temperature at a more reasonable level. as we head on through the evening and overnight, we still have some showers around. more coming across south—west scotland. heading down by the end of the night from a line roughly wales to the wash. you could see some of that getting down to lower levels. behind a clear skies, the risk of ice once again. some frost as well as temperatures drop. 0ut towards the west as the system approaches, again we are looking at the cloud in the first signs of patchy light rain. that will help keep the temperatures above freezing but these temperatures indicate what you can expect in towns and cities. it will be lower than that. taking
7:48 am
wintry showers with tomorrow morning. in this next one is warm front, coming in from the west. but it is here. it's finally made it, bringing in august summer rain. wintry showers across wales and the wash, sinking down to the south—eastern once again, with some of the heavy ones, we could see that at lower levels. temperatures rise, got the cloud and rein in western areas. temperatures are little bit higher but still cold as we head out towards the east. dream course of the night, the front eventually makes it over, taking patchy rain with it. that's a cold front. the first thing in the morning, cloudy, we say goodbye to that band of rain from the warm front. still quite mild behind it but fairly cloudy. then look at this cold front coming in. some persistent rain. also eventually, it's going to pull in northerly winds and colder as well. it's lovely. one of those soap
7:49 am
shots. something sticking in the back of my throat. it will be better ina minute. during the bleak mid—winter, plenty of us are dreaming about the summer holidays — and many are making those dreams a reality by snapping up good deals when we see them. travel industry figures show that summer holiday sales are up 5 per cent, compared with this time last year — and packages to non—eu destinations, including turkey, tunisia and egypt up 19 per cent. we're joined in the studio by emma brennan from the association of british travel agents. it seems extraordinary we talk about worries and difficulties but right now, the travel booking is up, is it? absolutely. there are certainly a nation of holiday lovers. the matter what's going on, people want
7:50 am
to go ona matter what's going on, people want to go on a holiday and we are seeing, as the figures show, bookings are up so far. this is the busiest time of year for the travel industry, lots of people are booking holidays and thinking about where they want to go over the summer.“ there an indication of why that's happening? what would make you book this, all waiting a lot of time to book it? a lot of people want to book it? a lot of people want to book early because time off work and to secure those dates. there are a lot more options. if you have specific requirements for a specific place, also particular butcher in mind, there are quite a lot of good deals out there, free child places, lots of choice, lots of deals and it's a good time to get in early. i seemed everybody in some ways, it's easy now. you can go on line, you can look up a hotel and book the flight can look up a hotel and book the flight and do—it—yourself but actually people are looking to
7:51 am
travel agents to be doing things. 40% of people last year actually booked a holiday through a travel agent is looking on line is still really popular but it can be much easier to book an expert who knows all of the destinations, who knows when flights are going and can really actually find the right holiday for you. people feel more confident as well. holidays probably one of the most expensive things are going to buy this year are not eve ryo ne going to buy this year are not everyone feels comfortable spending that money on line and sometimes the amount of choice on line can a whelming soap having a travel agent who can narrow it down for you is really helpful. this picture is behind us are making me feel idyllic. pictures to play a major part. the role of social media in our travel and holiday habits.“ that play a part? people like to go on holiday and some of them are choosing a destination to have the best bragging rights when it comes
7:52 am
to instagram or twitter for their facebook pages but we know that people are really keen to get off the beaten track and try and find a more authentic experience. they will often work with a travel agent to try and sort that out. i dread to bring up the word, brexit. is that affecting the destinations that people are choosing? not necessarily now. one of things with from brexit for a few years is the value of the pound against the euro and also against the dollar as well so that's why the places like turkey, tunisia, and each of the become really popular. because they don't have the euro and they are offering a really good value destination.” euro and they are offering a really good value destination. i was still booking a holiday is in the holiday season? yes, people are preserving that but also looking to winter sun as well. 2% up on the number of
7:53 am
people who plan on going to a winter break. the weather is getting colder. not ever and can wait for the summer for a bit of warmth. that's interesting, tells what you've done. we are incredibly well—organised. that is a really useful thing, to have friends were organised. breaking news this morning involving some of the most well—known celebrities on social media. sean's across this one for us. what's this all about sean? 0ther other people who follow them read into whatever they are posting. we're talking about celebrities, vloggers and instagram and twitter personalities. they often have millions of followers and can have serious influence over what we spend our cash on. alexa chung, rita 0ra and others. they have agreed to be more
7:54 am
transparent about when they are being paid. some big brands have chosen to pay online stars thousands of pounds rather than use traditional advertising. but sometimes it's not been totally clear on the posts that the celebs have actually been paid to endorse something. that's why the competition and markets authority have been looking into this. george lusty, the senior director for consumer protection at the cma, is in our london newsroom. how widespread is this? followers and instagram for example, not being treated transparently. we were concerned when we looked at a number of posts. 74 million people, it's a really big deal. people trust what they see on social media and therefore its really important that pay for arrangements are disclosed. what is it specifically? when we see that post, they agree to do something that wasn't happening before. all of these individuals have agreed they will firmly state if they have been paid or received a
7:55 am
gift, loan or product before making a post on social media because it can a post on social media because it ca n affect a post on social media because it can affect the decisions we make, whether we decide to buy something we see. in terms of what that means. there are 30 have stags? is that enough? to say they are sponsored. i don't think it is clear enough. it needs to be clear from the first by the average member of the public that it the average member of the public thatitis the average member of the public that it is a paid for partnership. they use some of the paid for partnership arrangements on instagram. they be paid to make that close that post. pushing us to the limit. the real problem here was a
7:56 am
number of these individuals were signalling not have the disclosure is hidden halfway down a list of content. he behaved very different if you know a particular person you trust had been paid to make that. many celebrities today, some that i named, improving their practices. do you expect that fines will be on the way? it is now clearly on notice that many had to change their behaviour. warning about these behaviours. they don't hesitate to ta ke behaviours. they don't hesitate to take people to court about ensuring people play by the rules in the future. thank you very much, the competition in markets authority regulator. this is a big first step.
7:57 am
maybe we'll see more clamping down on celebrities. it is in a long list. i didn't know that when sponsorship. an update on tony yesterday. he was here at about 8:10 a.m. if you didn't seek yesterday. he was here at about 8:10 a. m. if you didn't seek yesterday, you get that fly past sorted. bbc brea kfast you get that fly past sorted. bbc breakfast will be there. so many have got in contact with us over the next —— the last 24 hours. yesterday, you've got an amazing message from the nephew of the pilot who flew the plane in 1944. he was one of those who died sheffield. his nephew got in contact to say they
7:58 am
are following the story from america. he was amazed by tony's service, doing an amazing job maintaining that memory. i'm going to ring tony today, see him in the park and tell him that even family members of the people flying the plane now know what's going on. you can watch it again if you want more tea rs can watch it again if you want more tears in your eyes on iplayer. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. "it feels like a civil war running on our streets", those were the words of a grieving uncle during bbc london's debate on knife crime. an audience of young people and youth workers discussed the causes of violence and how to put a stop to the stabbings which have claimed 3 lives so far this year. chris preddie — who mentors teenagers and was awarded an 0be for his work — says it's down to communities to step up. they keep saying to us we need to take ownership and every same
7:59 am

mate there is out there. i love you, man. well done. good morning. a cold and frosty star and also the risk of widespread ice on untreated surfaces. some sunshine in between. i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's wednesday 23rd january. our top story: argentinian striker emiliano sala, who went missing after the plane he was travelling in disappeared on monday, reportedly sent a message to his family expressing concern about the aircraft. in the last few minutes, rescue workers have resumed their search for the missing aeroplane in the english channel, as ben ando reports. argentine striker emiliano sala joined cardiff city at the weekend from the french side, nantes, for £15 million. his father told reporters in argentina that his son had been delighted to be joining a bigger club. the 28—year—old had returned to france to say goodbye to his
8:04 am
former team—mates. argentine media are reporting that he sent a whatsapp message to say, to his family, allegedly," i'm on a plane that looks like it's going to fall apart. adding that he was "really scared". in france and in wales, there have been tributes in tears. a lot of shock. there has been devastation. and distress amongst some of the fans. empathy towards sala, the pilot and the family and just praying and hoping that a positive outcome will come of this, but as you say, things have become very desperate now and people are starting to accept that maybe they are not going to be found. rescue boats scoured the light aircraft's last known position on monday night and yesterday and will resume the search later, but hopes are fading of finding either man alive, after spending such a long time

in the chilly waters of the english channel. britain's most senior counter—terrorism police officer has warned that right—wing extremists could exploit what he described as the "febrile" atmosphere around brexit. assistant commissioner neil basu said he was concerned about the "creeping threat" posed by far—right groups. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. march 2017 — the murderous attack by khalid masood outside the houses of parliament was the first of five terror attacks in six months. since that day, police and the security service, m15, have foiled 18 other plots, most of them islamist inspired. four plots involved right wing extremists. they make up a growing amount of work for counterterrorism detectives, and now there are concerns the heated debate over brexit could stir things up further. we saw a spike in hate crime after the referendum. that's never really receded. so, there's always a possibility that people are being radicalised by the kind of febrile atmosphere we've got at the moment and we want
8:06 am
people to report anything that we think is going to lead to violent confrontation and people need to calm down. a new campaign is being launched, to encourage people to report suspicious activity. the message — communities defeat terrorism. the new counterterrorism film will be shown at 120 cinemas across the country, reaching a potential audience of 5 million people. it comes at a time when the terror threat level remains at severe, with police carrying out a record number of investigations. counterterrorism officers say in terms of operational security, a no—deal brexit will be a very bad thing, though the home office maintains the uk will continue to be a very safe country. danny shaw, bbc news. former chancellor george osborne has likened leaving the eu without a deal to playing russian roulette with the uk economy. he told the bbc at the world economic forum that delaying brexit after the 29th march is "the most
8:07 am
likely option" and would allow time to explore alternative deals. earlier on breakfast, international trade secretary liam fox stessed the importance of leaving the eu with a deal. we don't want to leave without a deal, of course, that's the point. and the best way to have no deal is to agree a deal. and that's what the prime minister is exploring with parliamentarians, to see if we can find a consensus in parliament and to talk to the european union about that. victims of sexual or violent crime who claim compensation can find the process so stressful it can re—trigger trauma, according to the victims' commissioner for england and wales. the ministry ofjustice says it is "committed to ensuring that victims receive the help and support needed to rebuild their lives", and says a review of the system is ongoing. earlier on the programme, baroness newlove told us how she would like to see the compensation process improved. my recommendations are looking at a support package.
8:08 am
because it is not seen as a support service, it is more of a transactional service. i also want a named caseworker. because at the moment there is nothing that people can put a name to, or number. and secondly, i am also asking for free legal advice. zimbabwe's human rights commission has accused security forces of using "systematic tortu re" against protesters. there have been numerous reports of assaults allegedly carried out by the military, since violent protests broke out more than a week ago — following a sharp rise in fuel prices. the president insists abuse against civilians will not be tolerated. a 21—year—old woman has died following a collision with a police car responding to an emergency call in london. it happened on forest road in walthamstow at quarter to midnight. the police car stopped and officers gave first aid before an ambulance arrived, but the woman died at the scene. officers are trying to trace her next of kin, who are believed to be outside the uk. within the last hour,

some of the biggest names on social media have agreed to be more explicit when they've been paid to promote something online. you have been talking to the regulator, what has changed, what are they concerned about? regulator, what has changed, what are they concerned abounm regulator, what has changed, what are they concerned about? it depends how transparent celebrities are when they are paid to post something that they are paid to post something that they are paid to post something that they are promoting. whether it is something they are wearing or somewhere they have just been, they need to be really clear about whether they've been paid for that or not. because when you are strolling through your instagram and twitter feeds and seeing pictures posted by the celebrities you follow, it can be very difficult to differentiate or even cross your mind to think actually, that's not just an authentic liking of a product by somebody, that is then being paid for it. i spoke to the regulator about this a little earlier, saying exactly what kind of things do they need to be changing?
8:10 am
the real problem here was a number of these individuals weren't actually signalling at all that there was a paid for arrangement. but it is also not acceptable if the disclosure is hidden halfway down a long list of contents. it has to be the first thing you notice when you look at a post, because you behave very differently if you know a you trust had been paid to make that stop there are some celebrities and ways of making it extremely clear it isa ways of making it extremely clear it is a promotion... they do make it clear. paid partnerships. what are the regulator is going to do about it? in their remit, their powers, they can take them to court and that could end up with unlimited fines or even a jail sentence. the first thing they are doing today is warning all celebrities, many more celebrities than just the 16 we have mentioned who have agreed to this now, that they need to up their game. just one small hashtag in a long list of hashtags is not enough.
8:11 am
they need to be clear, have something at the top flight paid partnership something high up in the comments which they are being paid for it. sometimes they put #spon, which means paid sponsorship. yes, but it is escalating, a multi—million dollar business through influencers like these people. very interesting, thank you. all the news from the national television awards coming your way shortly. elsewhere this morning... flights were grounded at newark international airport in the us state of newjersey after two drones were spotted flying nearby. a pilot told air traffic control that one of the drones came within 30 feet of his aircraft. he was flying at a nearby private airport, but officials closed newark international as a precaution. the airport is the 11th busiest in the us, with 20 million people boarding there each year. in the next 45 minutes or so we are talking about what airports here are doing specifically to combat and what is going on with drones.
8:12 am
embracing a bit of technology, a drone detection scheme. happening at southend airport. it is 8:12am. proton beam therapy is a form of radiotherapy used to treat certain types of cancer. the state—of—the—art treatment was introduced on the nhs at the christie hospital in manchester last month. brea kfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet 15—year—old mason, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in october, and is one of the centre's first patients. it looks like something out of star trek, and proton beam therapy using charged particles from a cyclotron sounds like science fiction. but this specialised form of radiotherapy, the first in the uk, is now up and running at the christie hospital in manchester. 11,12,13,14! 15—year—old mason is one of the first to be treated here. he was diagnosed with a brain tumour last october. it's worst news possible to get as a parent, to have a phone call, "your child has a brain tumour."
8:13 am
it has been a difficult time for the whole family. hi, mason, i'm ed, and i'mjust going to show you the machine you're going to be having your treatment on. mason is being given a guided tour of the therapy room. so, is the green beam where it's aiming it? proton therapy works by targeting cancers very precisely. it causes less damage to surrounding areas than normal radiotherapy and is particularly effective. children have tissues which are still developing, and are very, very sensitive to radiation, so anything you can do despair those normal tissues from the effects of radiation treatment, the better it will be for them in the long term. how i feel about this is, it's very nerve—racking, and i'm quite nervous about it, but if it makes me better, i'm happy about it and it will make just make me feel happier. proton beam therapy first hit
8:14 am
the headlines four years ago when the parents of asher king took their child abroad to get the treatment. asher eventually had the therapy in the czech republic and his parents say he is now cancer—free. the new centre here in manchester will see up to 750 patients a year. another centre will open in london in 2020. it will mean fewer people will have to travel to europe and america. mason's treatment starts today — it will take six weeks. he's already looking forward to life after proton therapy. i'm going to try to get in school again, in science, like i always love, and try to go to university and try and become a doctor. i'd be proud of whatever he wants to be. but i'm sure whatever it is, he'll be fantastic. there is hope here of a better future. graham satchell, bbc news, manchester. and mason's treatment starts today
8:15 am
is so very good luck to him in the six weeks and the time after that. a lovely family. we can speak now to hazel pennington. she's the lead 0perational radiographer for proton beam therapy at the manchester christie hospital. good morning. this has been an amazing investment, hasn't it? tell usa amazing investment, hasn't it? tell us a bit about the machine itself. it is an amazing investment. the machine, proton therapy, the treatment is radiation therapy but instead of using high energy x—rays it is using protons. the protons are generated in the cyclotron, about the size of a small car that weighs 90 tonnes. it accelerates the protons to a high speed so they are at the right energy and it comes into one of the treatment rooms. 0ut of the nozzle comes the protons and the patient, mason who we saw in the film, would lie under the nozzle and
8:16 am
to receive the protons. it enables you to target specific areas where you to target specific areas where you are trying to hit those tumours. from what i was reading, sometimes the sessions can last quite a bit of time. a lot of that is positioning the patient so you can hit the right spot? that is right. mason will be in the room for about 30 minutes, but that involves getting onto the treatment couch, getting in the right position. we take some images to make sure he's in the right position and deliver the treatment. the treatment delivery time is minutes but it is everything else to make sure we deliver it accurately. who would be treated by this, who is it relevant for, this particular treatment? proton therapy is releva nt for a treatment? proton therapy is relevant for a small proportion of cancer patients. conventional radiotherapy is still a very good treatment choice for many cancers. proton therapy can be used for children. that is because the tissues are still developing and with proton therapy, you can minimise radiating healthy tissue,
8:17 am
which is important to minimise long—term later effects. we also use it for adults as well. they tend to be patients where their cancer is lying close to critical organs, the brainstem of the spinal cord.” don't know if you watch the programme hospital but there was a family on there, alder hey in liverpool last year, and they had to ta ke liverpool last year, and they had to take their son to germany for this treatment which i think because the nhsa treatment which i think because the nhs a £440,000. i know this is an incredibly expensive piece of equipment. —— michael hundred and £40,000. the project costs 125 million, to buy the equipment, the project team to set up the service. in terms of the difference it makes to have this in the uk and further plans to have something else similar in london in a few years' time, what difference will it make to patients? the difference to patients are huge because they are currently being sent overseas and that is a huge wrench for the family, for the
8:18 am
patient to be away from home for months at a time. having the opportunity to have the treatment in england, and even though it might be away from home, you are so much more accessible and grandparents can come visit at weekends, siblings, and you still have much more accessibility to that support network, which is very important at a time when you are having cancer treatment. so this one is in manchester and another one due to come online next year? yes, at university college hospital in london. thank you for coming to see us and pass on our best wishes to mason. wonderful to learn how technology works. fascinating. if you have been out this morning i expect it is cold. foggy and cold and icy. but you have dog pictures, so this is good. yes, lovely. 0ne yes, lovely. one of the picture showing of snow falling yesterday. it isa showing of snow falling yesterday. it is a cold start. the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and fog which
8:19 am
is in shropshire, greatest manchester and scotland. you might run into some hill fog elsewhere but these are the main areas currently. perhaps a wider hazard is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. a lot of ice on untreated surfaces. a lot of us are some rain, sleet or snow yesterday. 0vernight with the low temperatures, it has frozen. roads and pavements could be slippery. disruption is possible from this and you can find out more about where you can find out more about where you are on your bbc local radio station. you can see where we have had thus snow since five o'clock this morning. across the north and west of the uk and also up across parts of the uk and also up across parts of the uk and also up across parts of the east, still snowing in kent. through the course of today, a little ridge across us so it will be a quieter day for many of us. met later, clow building in from the west. we start where we have seen the snow showers with them still in the snow showers with them still in the south—east a lot of those will fade through the day. wintry showers in northern ireland will turn to rain through the day but hanging
8:20 am
onto them across the north and west of scotland, even to lower levels. bush east and we will see some sunshine for some more cloud coming in across northern ireland, with no showers. more cloud across pembrokeshire and south—west england. here, you will find the temperatures are that little bit higher. for the rest of us, a cold day. but there will be a fair bit of winter sunshine around. through this evening and overnight, we still have the wintry showers in the north and west. a new system then produces some wintry showers across south—west scotland, into northern england, heading towards the wash and north wales by the end of the night with these wintry showers. heavier ones to lower levels. behind it, frosty and there will be some ice. ahead of it for our summer thus, frosty. i say some because out towards the west, as the warm front approaches, there will be some cloud, some rain and higher temperatures. tomorrow morning, starting with the wintry showers pushing across east anglia into the south—east, before clearing away. then a drier slice
8:21 am
from yorkshire down towards the midlands. but the cloud is all the time building in the west as the weather front advances in, time building in the west as the weatherfront advances in, taking it rain. western areas will have higher temperatures tomorrow compared to the east. by the time we get to friday, here is our warm front, moving out towards the north sea, taking its cloud and rain with it. then we have a cold front coming in from the west, introducing more persistent rain. 0n from the west, introducing more persistent rain. on friday, it will bea persistent rain. on friday, it will be a quieter day. a very quick peek saturday. all that rain pushes south, some hills know with it as it does so foster behind it, when turning to northerly, colder conditions coming our way with wintry showers. so all time by —— all change by sunday. look at that rain on saturday! thank you very much. see you shortly. not sure what you are up to last night but an evening of glitz and glamour at the national television awards. i
