this is bbc news. the headlines at 7: recognised in the new year honours list, but the cabinet office apologises, after the home addresses of more than a thousand recipients were accidentally published online. one of recipients was 94—year—old d—day veteran harry billinge who was awarded an mbe — after raising over £25,000 for a national memorial. it was far from my mind that i was ever going to be recognised for doing a bit of a collection. a woman whose husband and two children drowned, on christmas eve, in a swimming pool in spain, says all 3 could swim, and blames a fault with the pool. more than 70 people are believed to have been killed in a car

bomb attack in somalia, many of the dead were students. campaigners call for a radical overhaul of britain's railways, including majorfare reforms and an end to "nightmare journeys". and we'll get a round up of all of the day's sport — that's in sportsday at 7.30. a list of more than a thousand home addresses of people receiving new years honours — including police officers, politicians and celebrities — was accidentally published by the government. the department responsible has apologised and said the information was removed as soon as the error was discovered. 0ur correspondent katy austin reports.

among more than a thousand people to receive an award in the new year honours list this year are celebrities and sports people but also senior politicians, police and security personnel. at some point last night a list containing recipients‘ addresses was published, meaning some people were able to download the information. many appeared to be personal addresses although no contact information appears for six ministry of defence staff. the document was discovered by a member of the public. i saw the new year's honours list was coming out, wondered who was on it, went to the gov.co.uk website and downloaded a csv file of all of the recipients, opened it up and it had full names and addresses of all the recipients including street numbers, names and postcodes, everything, which was quite remarkable. a cabinet office spokesperson said...

it is believed the document was online forjust under an hour before being removed, but there are questions to answer about how it got there in the first place. well, katy‘s also given us this update on the next course of action. the cabinet office has reported itself to the information commissioners office which can levy fines for data breaches. the ico to date has tended to levy its biggest fines for much bigger breaches on the much larger scale where maybe hundreds of thousands of documents have been leaked. it is certainly embarrassing for the government and in the wrong hands this information could potentially pose a security risk to certain

individuals. well, household names and unsung volunteers made up the new year honours list. sir eltonjohn has received the highest accolade — he's been made a companion of honour. 0ther singers feature — 0livia newtonjohn becomes a dame, and billy ocean is made an mbe. kathryn stanczysyn reports. # you're the one that i want... olivia newton—john says she is grateful beyond words to be made a dame for services to charity. a damehood, too, forformer tv presenter floella benjamin for her lifelong work with children's charities. volunteering always features heavily in honours lists, with many who aren't household names being rewarded. i'm no hero, i was lucky. i'm here. all the heroes are dead and i'll never forget them as long as i live. thank you, darling. people like d—day veteran harry billinge, who becomes an mbe in recognition of his efforts fundraising for veterans. when i'm doing this collection, a wonderful calm comes over me, because i'm doing something

for the boys. back in 2012, rhian mannings's one—year—old son george died. her husband paul took his own life five days later. she now runs a charity in wales to help those experiencing bereavement and is now an mbe. it still hasn't sunk in, i still can't believe it. i'm pretty overwhelmed, i haven't slept very much. bittersweet in a way, but i'm extremely proud, i really am. in the world of politics, some controversy. the decision to award a knighthood to the former work and pensions secretary iain duncan smith has been criticised by opposition parties over his introduction of universal credit. and some questions over a damehood forformer director of public prosecutions alison saunders after a number of scandals. in entertainment, there were knighthoods for two british film—makers, steve mcqueen, who directed the oscar—winning 12 years a slave,

and sam mendes, who directed bond films skyfall and spectre. and in sport, eoin morgan, who captained england to victory in the cricket world cup, becomes a cbe. ben stokes an 0be, jos buttler and joe root both mbes. an mbe also for england star jill scott, for services to women's football. joining me on the phone is taekwondo world and double 0lympic champion jade jones. congratulations, i think it is fair to say this is not your first honour, you have been upgraded. yes, first i got an mbe so now, it is amazing in such an honour. absolutely, what does it mean to you to be recognised in this way?” think it is amazing. i put my life

and everything into tae kwon do so to be recognised on the highest level and to be going to the palace again to receive an honour is amazing. i was so young last time getting it so i feel i will appreciate it even more this time. we are watching some pictures of you celebrating back in 2012 when you wa nt celebrating back in 2012 when you want your 0lympic title. you talked about the feeling of being at the palace are getting that honour. give us palace are getting that honour. give usa palace are getting that honour. give us a sense palace are getting that honour. give us a sense of how the day unfolds. it was so special, i remember my mum, nan and grandad being there, even for them getting to go to the palace. i remember being dead emotional. being in the palace, it was just surreal and still magical. and people often make something of the fact you get told about this quite a long time before you are allowed to say anything, you have to keep the secret. yes, it is hard, i

got told and they say you are not allowed to tell anyone. i told my mum and told her not to tell anyone, i know what she is like for keeping secrets so she found it very hard but i am glad it is out in the open andi but i am glad it is out in the open and i can say it proudly celebrate and i can say it proudly celebrate and be happy. what kind of a difference do you think this kind of recognition makes, especially for the sport of tae kwon do and women who are competing in sport?” the sport of tae kwon do and women who are competing in sport? i am proud to be a woman in sport, it is getting bigger and bigger, proud to be a woman in sport, it is getting biggerand bigger, and proud to be a woman in sport, it is getting bigger and bigger, and also tae kwon do, it started off such a minority sport. to see it grow and how much funding it is getting and recognition it is getting now, it is just amazing. it makes me really proud and hopefully i can pass stuff onto the next generation and make them look up to it and want to achieve great things themselves. absolutely. today's story about the

honours list has been overshadowed may be too strong a word, but there has been controversy because there has been controversy because there has been controversy because there has been a data breach. when did you become aware of the fact that your address may be temporarily visible to people looking online?” address may be temporarily visible to people looking online? i didn't even know until i was listening to it now. this is the first i have heard of it. obviously, mistakes can be made. i know it is dangerous about people's addresses getting out but i am sure they didn't do it on purpose. our concern is it to you that people might be able to see where you live and find out information that normally would be private? it is scary but it is a good job i do tae kwon do. we have heard the cabinet office is trying to co nta ct heard the cabinet office is trying to contact people but from what you are saying, you have not had a phone call or any contact to tell you about what had happened. no, not as of yet. but you would hope to hear directly from them about what has

been done and what they are doing now? definitely, for me it wouldn't be my address, it would be my mum's address so hopefully in my address has gone out, i would like to know about it. tell us about looking ahead to the future because tokyo 2020 could be a third 0lympic title for you. yes, it is so exciting. i'm a little bit stressed because there isa a little bit stressed because there is a lot of pressure but especially 110w is a lot of pressure but especially now going into 2020, i am really excited and feel very privileged and honoured to really do have the chance to try and make history. going to my third 0lympics, chance to try and make history. going to my third olympics, and to have the chance to have that shot is just amazing. i will put my heart and soul on the mat and give everything i have got to get that third gold. fantastic, i am sure a lot of training to be done. we wish you well and huge congratulations on your mbe. let's speak to rowenna fielding

who is the head of individual rights & ethics, at the data protection specialists — protecture limited. get a little bit more on that data breach. we were hearing from jade jones, she hadn't been aware of this untiljust a jones, she hadn't been aware of this until just a short jones, she hadn't been aware of this untiljust a short while ago. how serious is it? the answer to the data protection question is always it depends. i think it is going to be potentially serious for some people, certainly those with personal security being something they need to pay attention to. if it is going to be serious for everybody, probably not. the ministry of defence officials, their address is actually banned. there is some process of data minimisation there. i think the fallout will

probably continue for a little while. 0bviously, probably continue for a little while. obviously, it is very embarrassing for the regulatory... we are struggling to hear a little bit but we will try to carry on. you are talking about the regulator, it isa are talking about the regulator, it is a technical issue. in terms of the regulator, what will they be looking to establish now? they will be looking for evidence that risks have been thought about and managed before the process was actually carried out. being that this is the first time the honours list has been, and permission has been breach like this, it is possible to publish that data securely. they will be looking at the reasons and the factors that contributed to the access information coming out this time. they will be looking at processes , time. they will be looking at processes, they will be looking at staff training, they will be looking

at the tools and resources that staff have to use in order to be able to do theirjobs, to see whether or not those have been analysed for adequate security. your instinct, and of course, we don't know yet, this was a document people could download. is your instinct that this was just initially uploaded wrongly? someone hit the wrong thing and attach the wrong document to the page?” wrong thing and attach the wrong document to the page? i think it is more likely there was some data intended to be published, so it list but that data perhaps, the file itself wasn't scrutinised to make sure that the minimum data was published before it was uploaded. we see that happen quite a lot with spreadsheets. certainly the ico has issued warnings to government departments in the past because they have responded to freedom of information requests with spreadsheet files, see sb files, and

they haven't properly removed or hidden some of the information, so thatis hidden some of the information, so that is a known problem. that is quite likely to be the case. the information wasn't properly removed before just a list of names was published. 0k, very good of you to join us. many thanks indeed. we will find out how that story is covered in tomorrow's front pages. — our guestsjoining me tonight are the broadcaster, lynn faulds wood and senior reporter at the sunday times, rosamund urwin. the hotel in spain where a british father and his two children died has insisted the swimming pool where they drowned was working normally. it comes after the mother of the children said all three could swim, and has said there must have been something wrong with the pool.

helena wilkinson reports. it was in this swimming pool where on christmas eve a father and his two children got into difficulty and drowned. but exactly what happened is still not clear. 0lubunmi diya, the wife of gabriel diya and the mother of comfort, pictured here, thinks there was something wrong with the swimming pool, but the resort where the family was staying issued a new statement disputing that, and it said the claims made by mrs diya were at odds with the findings of the police report. it said... the civil guard also said they'd been told mr diya could not swim. a spokesman said his widow confirmed that to them, saying she had not seen him swimming while they were together. but mrs diya insists her husband, son and daughter all knew how

to swim, and she says her children went into the pool by the steps but found themselves dragged into the middle where it was deeper. her husband jumped in to help, not long after all three were underwater. the police have described it as a tragic accident but the wife and mother of the victims appears to still have many questions as to exactly how this happened. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... recognised in the new year honours list — but the cabinet office apologises, after the home addresses of more than a thousand recipients were accidentally published online. a woman whose husband and two children drowned, on christmas eve, in a swimming pool at a resort in spain, says all 3 could swim. she blames a fault with the pool. more than 70 people have died after a car bomb exploded in the somalian capital,

mogadishu. campaigners are calling for a radical overhaul of britain's railways to try to improve travel. the pressure group, campaign for better transport — argues there should be a major fares reform, a single national railcard and more control of services given to major cities outside london. 0livia richwald has the details. tannoy: the train to nottingham has been cancelled... leeds station this morning where passengers faced delays and cancellations. britain's trains have been described as expensive, overcrowded and unreliable by the campaign for better transport, and today the group is calling for a radical overhaul of the way the railways are run. it suggests that franchises should be scrapped and fares reformed, but it doesn't estimate how much that would cost. before today's report, the government was already considering big changes.

within the next few weeks the department for transport is expected to publish plans which it says will put passengers first and create a fairer and more effective system and that is something that people here in leeds think is overdue. there was a week about two months ago where i got about 1k trains that week and every single one was delayed by about ten minutes or more. every time we have ever been on a train it has either been cancelled or delayed or it is so busy. if it is more effective to have it brought back into the council and they actually have control over what is going on i think that probably could be quite good. you need the service but you can't guarantee it. and that is the biggest frustration for me personally. another suggestion is handing more control of the railways to cities and regions, something which has been welcomed by the mayor of greater manchester. if we had more control we could integrate the trains with our trams, buses, we could make it a london style integrated transport system, and that is what a city like manchester needs if we are to

go up to the next level. it can't be right that it costs much more to travel around manchester than it does to travel round london. meanwhile, train fares are due to increase by an average of 2.7% in just three days' time. 0livia richwald, bbc news, leeds. the family of a swedish man shot dead in south london on christmas eve say they are in a "state of shock". flamur beqiri was shot in front of his wife and young child. police say they believe he could have been involved in crime in his native sweden. in a statement today his family said: "to have so much sadness at this time of the year is heartbreaking." flags are flying at half mast, across kazakhstan in a day of mourning, for the victims of friday's plane crash, which killed 12 people and left 47 others in hospital. the plane was carrying 90 passengers and 5 crew members when it crashed into a building, in freezing weather, shortly after take—off from almaty airport.

the country's aviation committee has since suspended all flights operated by the budget airline, bek air, as well as those involving fokker 100 aircraft — pending the results of an investigation. at least 70 people are reported to have been killed after a car bomb exploded during morning rush hour in the capital of somalia. the blast took place at a checkpoint at a busy intersection in mogadishu. around 90 people were wounded, many of them university students. andrew harding reports. moments after the blast, an eyewitness films the scene. smoke still billowing from a vehicle, the remains of what is thought to have been a massive car bomb. shocked civilians move in to look for survivors. the attack was timed to catch the morning rush—hour in mogadishu. many students had been heading to classes.

dozens were killed when the bomb exploded at a busy intersection in the somali capital. attacks like this are not unusual here, but they are seldom so deadly. this man said the blast caught him as he was getting out of a minibus heading to work, his leg injured. within minutes, emergency workers were at the scene. somalia, plagued by violence for decades, is still wrestling with extremism. the country's president quickly blamed the islamist militant group al—shabaab. he said their aim was to instill terror and to prevent the country from rebuilding. they will never succeed, he said. but this devastating attack is a reminder that somalia's long journey from failed state to stable democracy is still a troubled work in progress. andrew harding, bbc news. a navy seal diver, who helped rescue a youth football team, trapped in a flooded cave

in thailand, has died from a blood infection, he picked up during the rescue. petty officer beirut pakbara had been under medical supervision, since the rescue 18 months ago — but his condition worsened and he died yesterday. riot police have clashed with protesters, inside a major shopping centre, near hong kong's border with mainland china. pepper spray and batons were used by security forces, after demonstrators marched through the mall in sheung shui. the retail outlet near the chinese city of shenzhen, is popular with shoppers from the mainland. protesters in hong kong, have been targeting shopping centres across the area in recent days. one of the world's rarest birds — the spoon—billed sandpiper — has been successfully reared in captivity for the first time, raising hopes the species can be saved from extinction. it's taken almost a decade, from rescuing eggs in russia's far east wetlands — to breeding 2 of the birds,

at the wildfowl and wetlands trust in gloucestershire. victoria gill reports. the first sign of a conservation breakthrough. these spoon—billed sandpiper chicks, hatched from eggs collected in the far east of russia and brought into captivity in the uk. that rescue mission was eight years ago. now, at last, those critically endangered birds have reared their own chicks — the first ca ptive—bred spoon—billed sandpipers. we have to cover up our outdoor clothes, so everything from rubber boots that we can wash on the way in, to overalls, to this very attractive hairnet, because we do not want to be taking anything in there, into the aviary, where these very precious birds are, that might hurt them or make them sick. this is their breeding aviary that they now live in. i guess they're kind of still babies, or are theyjust a few months old? they're classed as juveniles now. they would've been on their migration now, really. they would?

yeah, yeah, so... but we still see them as babies. your babies. yeah. this long mission, though, has been punctuated by highs and heartbreaking lows. chicks first hatched here back in 2016, but they survived only a few days. it's taken just under ten years, and what feels like a lifetime of no sleep, to find the recipe, or close to the recipe, for breeding spoon—billed sandpipers in an arc, in a captive situation. there are about 50 million other water birds that use the same places as the spoonies, so if we could save it — and we're starting to do so — we can save a lot of other birds and plants and people who depend on the wetland sites where those animals survive. 2019 was the year that scientists put a very big number on the extinction crisis. a global report published this year estimated that around a million species of animals and plants

are at risk of extinction. the loss of natural habitats in our human—engineered environment is an increasing threat, so conservationists hope this will go much further than one charismatic little bird and that protecting the spoon—billed sandpiper and the wetlands it depends on will prevent many other species from being lost. 60 years after ivor the engine first steamed onto our television screens — his creators want to shunt him out of the retirement shed — and onto the silver screen. the tales of the small steam locomotive were inspired by the poetry of dylan thomas — and created by hand, in a cow shed. tomos morgan reports. snow was falling in the top left—hand corner of wales. ahead of its time, it was one of the uk's first tv cartoons. "are you ready, ivor?"

ivor toots his horn. some may remember the adventures of the small green steam locomotive who worked for the merioneth and llantisilly railway traction company limited in north wales. snowdrifts lay deep on the railway line, but ivor charged through them and split them like meringues! the programme was the brainchild of the late legendary animator oliver postgate, who wrote the scripts, filmed the scenes and voiced many of the characters, along with artist peter firmin for a budget ofjust £10 a minute. my dad would put them together using blu—tack. you'd move the foot along, take a photograph... nowadays, digital animation costs a fortune, with high—tech computers and sophisticated software bringing creations to life in 3d. ivor the engine, however, was made using paper and cardboard cut—out watercolours in a farmhouse barn in rural kent. he wanted to find a way of animating which didn't involve too much of people walking around, because that was

difficult to animate. so ivor was quite good, because he had wheels. "edwinjones, we have an emergency! "eli the baker is out of flour!" a friendship with a welsh fireman fondly described how steam engines came to life when you rode on them, and there were strong welsh influences throughout. ivor toots his horn. he came up with the idea that there was a steam locomotive who wanted to sing in the welsh choir, and that was the starting point. he loved under milk wood and dylan thomas and he loved the whole magic and feel of how he felt about wales. "oh, dear!" although he probably wasn't the most famous cartoon train that graced our tv screens, ivor was the inspiration for oliver postgate's more successful titles... yawns. ..such as bagpuss. bagpuss gave a big yawn

and settled down to sleep. after the success of daniel's recent remake of the clangers — another of his father's classics — on the 60th anniversary that ivor first hit television, could there finally be a comeback, but this time to the silver screen? i was interested in the idea of a live—action story of ivor, because i think although it is a children's programme, it also has a lot of interesting characters. but you need to find lots of money to do things like that! ivor felt really happy. so, after over half a century, it may not quite be the end of the line for ivor, jones the steam and dai the station. ..as he pounded down the line. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. i know of bagpuss. thank you very much. good evening, the weather has

been pretty great today, brightness and very short supply. we have had a lot of cloud around, it is still quite murky in places. it should start to break a little bit for northern ireland, some breaks in the cloud for southern and eastern parts of scotla nd cloud for southern and eastern parts of scotland mab into east anglia and the south—east later in the night. can turna the south—east later in the night. can turn a little bit chilly across eastern england, a mild night generally, tomorrow, a very miles to once again a cloudy one. stick with it, there is a better of sunshine, parts of south anglia in the south—east will stop also for northern ireland, southern and eastern scotland, still rain across the far north—west of scotland. it is going to be mild for all but especially across the northern half of the country, we could get to 1a 01’ of the country, we could get to 1a or 15 degrees. we see rain on the north on monday, lots of sunshine in the south. it will be dry but a little bit cooler for all of us on the last day of the year.
