good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today. captain sir tom remembered by those who were closest to him in his final months. he wouldn't have wanted us to feel sorrow. he just wouldn't. and, look, i'm my father's daughter at the end of the day and he always said, when you're gone, you're gone. and he has gone and we had our lovely goodbyes. i don't feel cheated, none of us feel cheated. in theirfirst interview since his death, his daughter and grandchildren talk to this programme about protecting sir tom from online abuse, his pride in his fund raising, and his legacy in the years to come.

hospital leaders warn the prime minister not to ease lockdown in england until services are less stretched. they say it may take another six weeks. good morning. what is the future of hard cash? with more people using contactless payments, there are calls on the government to protect access to coins and notes for the most vulnerable. back to their best in budapest. a much needed win for liverpool in the champions league gives an elated jurgen klopp the advantage after a difficult few weeks for the club. after thousands respond to the case of the mountain rescue volunteer badly injured helping two people who broke lockdown, we look at the couragous work of the teams. today we had band of rain moving west to east, clearing most but

lingering in some areas, but i did sunshine and showers and a mild but windy day. it's wednesday the 17th of february. our top story. the family of captain sir tom moore have spoken for the first time about his final days before his death two weeks ago. the second world war veteran had become a symbol of hope and optimism during the pandemic after he raised almost £33 million for the nhs. now sir tom's daughter and grandchildren have told breakfast about coping with their loss, their pride in his achievements, and the online abuse they shielded him from. this report from john maguire contains flashing images. to the outside world, captain sir tom moore was a veteran of the second world war, a record—breaking fundraiser and an icon of our struggle with the pandemic. but here at his family home, he was first and foremost a father, father—in—law, and a grandfather.

hannah, good to see you. thanks very much for inviting us to talk to you. how are you feeling, how are you and the family getting on? thank you for asking, john. i mean, it's difficult, right? we've lost a fifth. we were a five and we have gone into a four. and that's really difficult to say. we've lost a huge part of our life. we've been together, he's been with us for over 13 years. and so it's the deafening silence, that's the way i can describe it. he died in hospital two weeks ago suffering pneumonia and having tested positive for covid—i9. when he went into hospital, we really all believed he'd come back out. we thought that the oxygen would help, and that he would be robust enough. the truth is, he just wasn't. he was old. his final hours were spent with his family at his bedside, something that hasn't always been possible for many over the past year.

in those, in that last day, we really did have some some super moments together. and, you know, we put photographs up and he engaged with us. it was amazing. being thrust into the white heat of public scrutiny has come with a very modern virus, a curse. the vitriol from a small minority on social media. we really have to use our family resilience, our emotional resilience. and we never told him. because i don't think he could ever have understood it. i think it would have broken his heart, honestly, if we had said to him, you know, people are hating us. i couldn't tell him. because how do you rationalise to a ioo—year—old man that something so incredibly good can attract such horror? his was a life most extraordinary.

at the minute, it's hard, really, really, really hard, but the legacy is hope and joy, isn't it? and i think the thing that i feel is that other people are grieving too for him. and that's amazing in as much as he touched all those people. i don't want to pass on to them grief that on to them grief that is unrequited, you know, it's ok, it's ok, i think, to be sad. it's ok to grieve. and we know that you're grieving with us. but let's never lose sight of the fact that for him, this was all about, tomorrow will be a good day, and being hopeful. and no reason to sit and mourn for too long. get on with it. and make a good job of it. he couldn't have said it better himself, could he? thanks for lending him to us for the last ten months. thank you. and there are of course many exciting things to come and we look forward to sharing them with you.

fewer people than in 2019 referred by their gps for treatment. if that many patients start returning to the system, the think tank argues, and capacity is still limited, the waiting list could hit 10 million in england by april. nhs england says twice as many nonurgent treatments were delivered and three times as many diagnostic checks carried out in the second covid wave compared with the first. and nhs providers, representing trusts in england, says restrictions should not be eased by the government until capacity has returned to levels where hospitals can treat all the patients they need to. hugh pym, bbc news. surge testing for the south african variant of covid—i9 is being expanded in several areas in england. the department of health and social care says testing will be set up in southampton, woking and parts of norfolk, where positive cases of the variant have been discovered. people in those areas should take a test this week,

whether they are showing symptoms or not. the un's top human rights body says it will raise the detention of princess latifa, the daughter of dubai's ruler, with the authorities in the united arab emirates. it's after the princess accused herfather, sheikh mohammed bin rashid al—makhtoum, of holding her hostage. in a series of secret videos obtained by the bbc, she describes how she fears for her life. the governments of dubai and the uae said that latifa is safe in the care of her family. vulnerable children must be at the heart of the government's plans to �*build back better�* after covid—i9. that's the message from england's outgoing children's commissioner, anne longfield, who in herfinal speech will warn of the long—term effects the pandemic on the life chances of young people. the government said protecting vulnerable children has always been a priority over the past year. the detention of myanmar leader by the country's military has been

called a violation of her human rights by prime minister borisjohnson. the lawyer for aung san suu kyi told reporters that the ousted leader had received further charges from the police yesterday. protests against the coup are continuing across the country despite attempts by the military to suppress them. texas has been placed into a state of emergency, after temperatures in some parts of the state plummetted to their lowest in more than 30 years. a surge in demand for electricity has led to widespread power cuts across the region and at least 11 deaths have been blamed on the widespread storm. the freezing storm has even reached northern and central parts of mexico. the time is nine minutes past six. those scenes aren't here, carol? no, thankfully, charlie, infact no, thankfully, charlie, in fact 73% of the us are covered by snow and

150 million people are affected. nothing here like that, very mild weather this week, and that is the story, windy and rainy at times. at the moment it is moving west to east, most will clear into the north sea but there is a hang back in southern areas, remaining rowdy and wet. that will edge a little bit further north into south wales, the midlands and east anglia. behind it, return to sunshine and showers. it will be a windy or blustery day, depending on where you are, the strongest winds in the west. north—west scotland could have gusts up north—west scotland could have gusts up to 70 miles an hour, these circles represent the sustained wind speeds. seven in north scotland, and 12 in hull and norwich. the band of rain in the south moves northwards, some snow in the hills of northern

ireland and in the mountains of scotland, and as it moves north, another band coming in from the west will move eastwards. still windy but not a particularly cold night, not expecting any fast. 0vernight lows of four and 9 degrees. a longer weather forecast with more details in half an hour. plans to raise the contactless limit for card payments in shops generated a massive response from breakfast viewers, when we were talking about it yesterday. yes, loads of you got in touch talking to us about concerns about struggling to find places where you can still use cash because shops are saying, we prefer you to use contactless. we know not everyone is comfortable with digital payments and cash remains essentialfor 8 million people. good morning, everyone. clearly lots of you are concerned about the future of cash, given

the rise in contactless payments. some shops have refused banknotes and coins during the pandemic. last year, we withdrew a lot less cash. £81 billion. that's still a huge amount of money but that's actually down nearly 40% on the amount we took out the year before. now despite that, the average uk consumer still took out £1,500 last year. so cash is not dead and for vulnerable people or those in rural communities it's more important than ever. the problem is the number of atms fell by 10% last year, and the post office has plans to cut a third of its cash machines over the next year or so. ruth runs a post office in a village in county durham. the nearby bank is closing and her post office atm was threatened too. but she wasn't having any of it and took action. not everybody just wants to use their card to pay for things, they like cash in their hands.

if they're, you know, if they're on a budget, more so if they're on a budget. it's vital for the community, it's vital to keep it so that there is a lot of vulnerable people, elderly people, who live within a budget and need access to free cash. and obviously it is a free cash machine, you're not charged to use it. so it was vital for the community and it was also vital for my viability to keep the business going. and what about banks? well, lots of plans for branch closure were put on hold last year. but hsbc, barclays, lloyds and tsb have all announced closures for this year. and consumer group which estimates 11 banks every week will close 40% of branches. the pandemic has sped up this decline and the worry is some people will be cut off. campaigners want the government to step in, and quickly. the government committed a year ago

it would legislate to protect cash. in the meantime, the pandemic has accelerated the decline of cash. and the reality is, our cash infrastructure is close to collapsing. every week seems to bring another announcement about bank branches closing, and thousands of atms are currently closed and may never reopen. and the problem is, once the infrastructure is gone, it's gone. we need legislation now and we really can't wait any longer. the government told us they are working on legislationas promised. they know how vital this is and have listened to the evidence. they're going to announce the next steps soon. and there are some trials going on at the moment testing out new ways of getting cash to people. so ordering money with your food delivery is one option, or getting cash back at the village shop without having to buy anything else. an army barracks and church hall are also being piloted as financial hubs. i'd love to know your

thoughts on this. what could the solution be? contact details are on the screen. please do get in touch. and i think what is really interesting is there are some creative ideas on how to tackle this issue. communities coming together to try and find some solution. thank you very much. let's take a look at today's papers. the times is leading on what it says is a provisional plan for the uk to return to a "new normal". it says under the scheme, 400,000 rapid lateralflow tests will be sent to homes and businesses daily. the paper also pictures dubai's princess latifa, who has accused herfather of keeping her hostage in a series of newly released videos. the guardian leads with the government's decision to ask a further 1.7 million people in england to shield. it reports that ethnicity and deprivation have now been recognised as significant risk factors. the financial times reports that some employers are drafting "no jab,

nojob" contracts, after the uk government said it was up to companies to decide whether they will require workers to have had a covid vaccine. and across the atlantic, the texas tribune is leading on the winter storms which have been blamed for at least ten deaths and left millions without electricity. the state is experiencing record low temperatures, with some places falling to minus 18 degrees celcius. we will be talking to a chief meteorologist from a tv station in texas here on the programme in about half an hour. i texas here on the programme in about half an hour-— half an hour. i was 'ust thinking, that a weather _ half an hour. i wasjust thinking, that a weather person? - half an hour. i wasjust thinking, that a weather person? is - half an hour. i wasjust thinking, that a weather person? is that i that a weather person? is that someone who does the weather on american tv?— someone who does the weather on american tv? , . , ., ., ., american tv? yes. that is what carol is, a meteorologist. _ american tv? yes. that is what carol is, a meteorologist. like _ american tv? yes. that is what carol is, a meteorologist. like carol- american tv? yes. that is what carol is, a meteorologist. like carol in - is, a meteorologist. like carol in america but _ is, a meteorologist. like carol in america but a — is, a meteorologist. like carol in america but a man. _ is, a meteorologist. like carol in america but a man. i'm - is, a meteorologist. like carol in america but a man. i'm hoping l is, a meteorologist. like carol in i america but a man. i'm hoping for some snow _ america but a man. i'm hoping for some snow i— america but a man. i'm hoping for some snow. i would _ america but a man. i'm hoping for some snow. i would like _ america but a man. i'm hoping for some snow. i would like to - america but a man. i'm hoping for some snow. i would like to draw. america but a man. i'm hoping for. some snow. i would like to draw your attention to — some snow. i would like to draw your attention to this _ some snow. i would like to draw your attention to this story _ some snow. i would like to draw your attention to this story in _ attention to this story in the telegraph. a lot of people in their families will have come across issue

around poor hearing and dementia. it is known that people who have come there is a clear link, although they don't really understand why, between dementia and hearing loss. this is a new study that has come out saying that hearing aids can stave off dementia for as long as five years, which is a very long time. a third of over 50s who wear hearing devices had not developed the condition over that period, since they were diagnosed. it's modest, these findings, even by the scientists who have done it, they say they are modest findings. this is a doctorate from ulster university, saying —— a doctor, saying that the use of hearing aids is a two—year slower conversion to the dementia condition. those timelines are crucial. it is a very interesting bit of research, people understand

anecdotally if not scientifically. do you want to know a giant tortoise, truffles, or a small wasp? the small wasp, please.— the small wasp, please. charlie's choice. it the small wasp, please. charlie's choice- it is _ the small wasp, please. charlie's choice. it is called _ the small wasp, please. charlie's choice. it is called the _ the small wasp, please. charlie's choice. it is called the sting, - the small wasp, please. charlie's choice. it is called the sting, i - choice. it is called the sting, i love the way they have written this, this story is about moths causing very serious problems particularly in national trust houses, and what the national trust is going to do is get these tiny wasps, send them in and they will kill off clothes moths which are currently drawing tapestries, bedding and clothes. these tiny wasps will be deployed to go and kill the moths. haifa these tiny wasps will be deployed to go and kill the moths.— these tiny wasps will be deployed to go and kill the moths. how small are the wasns? — go and kill the moths. how small are the wasns? not _ go and kill the moths. how small are the wasps? not .5 _ go and kill the moths. how small are the wasps? not .5 millimetres. -- i the wasps? not .5 millimetres. -- 0.5 millimetres. _ the wasps? not .5 millimetres. -- 0.5 millimetres. 0k, _ the wasps? not .5 millimetres. -- 0.5 millimetres. ok, that - the wasps? not .5 millimetres. -- 0.5 millimetres. ok, that small! l 0.5 millimetres. ok, that small! microsc0pic. _ 0.5 millimetres. ok, that small! microsc0pic. i — 0.5 millimetres. ok, that small! microscopic, i should _ 0.5 millimetres. ok, that small! microscopic, i should have - 0.5 millimetres. ok, that small! microscopic, i should have said. | 0.5 millimetres. ok, that small! | microscopic, i should have said. i was trying to related to a normal

wasp but that is very very small, invisible. ,., ., . ., . ., yesterday on breakfast we told you the story of chris lewis, the mountain rescue volunteer who suffered life changing injuries when he went to help two people who were breaking lockdown rules. since we heard from chris' friends and colleagues hundreds of thousands of pounds has been raised to help support him and his family after the accident. breakfast�*s graham satchell has been finding out about the life—saving work carried out by volunteers like chris. ijust remember thinking, i think he is going to die, i really think he is going to die. ijust remember hearing the defibrillator going off again and again, and again and again and again. and ijust kind of prepared myself that they were going to pull the yellow tent back and say, i'm really sorry. august bank holiday, three years ago, alex and her husband paul, a formerfirefighter, were walking in the lake district.

i remember being on the ridge at the top and just saying to alex, allegedly there's an easy path for myself and the dog to take. and that is all i can remember. paul still isn't sure how it happened, but he ended up falling 650 feet. he suffered terrible life threatening injuries. alex called mountain rescue. the only way paul was ever going to survive this was if the guys physically moved him down the most horrendous terrain as fast as they possibly could. and i mean, with speed. there have been a lot of rescues, but that's one rescue where we had a chance to really make a difference. he had some fight and he had a fighting chance that day. and all the emergency services worked together and we had a bit of luck, iihinic _ so yeah, that's definitely a satisfying rescue, yeah.

paul was carried to safety by members of the patterdale mountain rescue team and eventually airlifted to hospital. the extraordinary work done by mountain rescue has been brought into sharp focus in the last week. this is chris lewis, part of the patterdale team. chris was going to the aid of two campers who had broken lockdown rules when he slipped, fell and suffered life changing injuries. his colleagues and friends have set upjust giving page. it has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds in just 2a hours. it has been absolutely phenomenal. and the comments on that page are tremendous as well. his wife sent me a message to say it was just so heart—warming to see not only what his rescue team colleagues thought about him, but actually what the general public think about mountain rescue. and i think she sums it up really well. this is british mountaineer alan hinks. the mountaineering world devastated

by what has happened to chris. when something happens to someone like chris, who is experienced, for that mountain rescue team member it is more than tragic. they are unsung heroes to a certain extent. they don't like being called heroes. they are very, very committed, very, very professional. they're all volunteers. so they are professional volunteers, very experienced, dedicated people. it took paul months and months to recoverfrom his fall, but once he was fit enough he visited the patterdale team to say thank you. in the group photo, chris lewis. i've done 30 years in the fire service as a paid fire service member. and there guys, they provide that level of service as volunteers. you know, giving up their time, family time, children time. at the drop of a hat they come to your attention if you need it. and, eh...

..yeah, just thank you patterdale. i just feel so sorry for chris and his family, you know, but they are going to be ok. but yeah, it's... he's got a long journey ahead and i do feel sorry for them. chris remains in intensive care. his team say the money raised will be a vital help to his recovery. graham satchell, bbc news. since we brought you chris' story yesterday, the fundraising page to help support him and his family has nearly reached an incredible £350,000. i think it was about £1000 when we first talked about it. and i know it is so much appreciated. incredible,

isn't it? i suppose _ is so much appreciated. incredible, isn't it? i suppose in _ is so much appreciated. incredible, isn't it? i suppose in some - is so much appreciated. incredible, isn't it? i suppose in some ways i is so much appreciated. incredible, | isn't it? i suppose in some ways the money is one thing and that is remarkable, but it taps into something, these are people that don't normally get recognised. a lot of people say, they are out there, today, this weekend, all the time, we don't think about it and it makes you think. we don't think about it and it makes ou think. . ~ we don't think about it and it makes ou think. ., ,, i. we don't think about it and it makes ou think. . ~' ,, ,., we don't think about it and it makes ou think. ., ,, i. ,., . we don't think about it and it makes ou think. ., ,, i. . ., you think. thank you so much for eve one you think. thank you so much for everyone involved _ you think. thank you so much for everyone involved in _ you think. thank you so much for everyone involved in that - you think. thank you so much for everyone involved in that and - you think. thank you so much forl everyone involved in that and your incredible generosity. adjusting to the role of stay—at—home teacher has been a challenge for many parents as schools have been closed to most pupils. but esther, who is a mum to eight—year—old triplets, wants to encourage other families to hang in there during these difficult times and has created a video diary documenting what a day in the life of their new normal now looks like. hi, i'm yumi. hi, i'm wami. hi, i'm bemi. if you want, join in now! hi! wami, say hi. hi! hi, everyone, it's eight

o'clock in the morning. i have to go and get the kids up so we can start the day. my favourite thing about home—schooling is when its home time you can go on the trampoline. there is no trampoline in school. because they're upstairs, it enables me now to do some things. i need to do that as quick as possible before it's time for me to actually go and log in myself for work. the school has been very, very helpful. they've provided us with good software, good applications. where the kids can actually use it. it's not easy to do home—schooling. kids are going to be kids. we try to do our best, how the school wants us to do. and sometimes it's not very possible. so how i do things is once they've done the maths, and they've done the english from school, i give them 20 minutes of reading their novels.

once they have done that, i sometimes leave them to watch tv, i sometimes leave them to play. so i'm doing... gentleman become gentlemen. and child becomes children. we have already had that previous experience of the first lockdown, so we went out, we got second hand pcs for the kids. the positive side of this is it also gives me time to grow closer to my kids, i can be with them. the downside is, ifeel the trick of a teacher actually teaching them, i don't get it. sometimes i explain things like division. their dad will do things like maths with them and try his best, using simple examples. ijust hope to encourage others that are out there, mostly multiple birth parents like myself. i just want to say, hang on there. it will get better. there is light at the end of the tunnel. and we are doing it for a very good reason.

it is eight o'clock at night, and they're ready for bed. and tomorrow we will start all again, the same routine, so, yeah, say bye, guys! bye! they are all doing a greatjob! we will be speaking to them a little bit later on in the programme. aha, bit later on in the programme. theme that a lot of people have commented on, don't beat yourself up. if it isn't going perfectly, that's fine. if you have a good day, that's fine. if you have a good day, that's fine. if you have a good day, that's fine too. we are catching up with the family later on. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. the backlog of patients waiting for cancer treatment for more than 104 days, has nearly doubled in london since last year. national targets state cancer patients should be treated within 62 days of being referred. patients having to wait for more than 104 days is considered a "serious breach".

nhs england said that covid was to blame and that the advice is still to come forward and get checked if you have a worrying symptom. the number of referrals for substance misuse by parents has more than doubled in london since the start of pandemic. the new figures — released by the nspcc — show that the monthly average number of referrals for alcohol and drug abuse by parents rose from 37 to 76 per month in london. and if you've been affected by any of the issues, you can find information about support in confidence on the bbc action line website. a community store dedicated to tackling food poverty in lewisham says it's been busier than ever since the start of the pandemic. the evelyn community store aims to reduce food poverty, with members paying £3.50 a week for £25 worth of fresh fruit, vegetables and other groceries that have been donated by supermarkets. they also provide financial advice.

just to try and do what we can to help make their lives better. we don't know how warm or cold their flat is as well. yeah, and that's why we're doing it. it's freezing at the moment, absolutely freezing. if we can lighten the load on food, they can maybe perhaps use that money they're saving to use on electricity and heating. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service across all lines, apart from the planned closure of the waterloo & city line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a mild start again this morning. with the mild air though, of course, it's rather cloudy and we'll see further outbreaks of rain today, as another band of blustery, showery rain moves across. now these showers get stuck and through the afternoon we're

likely to see them linger. they could be heavy from time to time and one or two of them merging together as well. the temperature today, despite the strengthening breeze, we're looking at a maximum of 11, maybe even 12 celsius, so it's another mild day. 0vernight the showers will gradually clear, at least to start with. we'll get some dry, some clear spells. the wind actually strengthening as we head into thursday morning. cloud increasing and more showers tomorrow. minimum temperature down at seven celsius. as we head through tomorrow, another band of rain sweeps through in the morning. drier and brighter in the afternoon. looking dry at the moment for friday, but we're going to hang on to quite a bit of cloud. but as we head into the weekend, the risk of some rain for saturday. but the temperature is set to get milder, especially as we head towards sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning... we'll hear from the outgoing children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, as she calls for young people to be prioritised after the pandemic. the former england and great britain rugby league captain, jamie peacock, joins us with his tips on how to stay positive and look after our mental well—being during lockdown. and a glimpse into the life of home schooling eight—year—old triplets. we'll hear from their mum about how they've adjusted, and how half term has been so far. the family of captain sir tom moore have said they're thankful they had the chance to say goodbye to him, and that he wouldn't want people to be sad that he is gone. they've been speaking for the first time since his death two weeks ago. we'll have our full interview just after eight, but this is how captain sir tom's

grandchildren say they'll remember their grandfather. i've got so much more close to him, it's been amazing. i've sat with him. we were talking about the army, talking about his favourite songs, all of that has been so, so special to me, and thinking now that he's passed away, which is so sad, these memories i will hold forever. we used to go gardening in the garden and we used to do stamping painting, all those sorts of stuff. he was feeding the dogs treats and then our dog got overweight, so we had to say, "no!" you had to put your foot down? yes. benji and george are very kindly sharing their memories. what an extraordinary time they've had over this past year. john maguire there.

relief forjurgen klopp as well. jurgen klopp praised his sides mental strength as they won in the champions league last night. liverpool take a 2—0 lead back to anfield for the second leg of their last 16 tie with rb leipzig. after three consecutive defeats in the premier league, it was a comfortable victory in budapest, where the match was played because of covid restrictions. nesta mcgregor reports. sometimes when your domestic form is a little below par, all that's needed is a little european getaway. liverpool had tickets for germany, but covid meant they were re—routed to budapest. leipzig came closest to opening the scoring, denied only by the post. liverpool's best effort of the half, andy robertson from long range, just inches in it. liverpool may have been off the boil as of late, but mo salah remains red hot, pouncing on this defensive slip—up. commentary: salah doesn't miss from there. jurgen klopp elated, and probably relieved. minutes later, mane made

it two, another error at the back for leipzig. the premier league champions heading back home with two away goals as souvenirs and hopeful of continuing their european adventures. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. so, some encouraging signs of a return to form, but klopp said they weren't naive and that it didn't negate their recent bad run. look, we are not children any more, so that we now think, 0k, we won that game and now everything is fine again. so, for me, it's much more important that we played again good football. again, not for the first time. in the last few weeks, i understand it and respect it 100% that nobody�*s really happy with the results, that's clear. but the football we played, whatever they tried tonight, we had an answer. in the other last 16 match, kylian mbappe scored a hat—trick at the nou camp as paris saint—germain beat barcelona 4—1.

an extraordinary result for the side coached by the former tottenham head coach mauricio pochettino. psg may have to be wary though — four years ago they led barca 4—0 after the first leg, and lost the second leg 6—1. you are never you are never safe. world number one ashleigh barty has been knocked out of the australian open, ending hopes for a first home winner in 43 years. she lost in three sets to the 25th seed karolina muchova, who'll playjennifer brady in the semi—finals. daniil medvedev hasjust daniil medvedev has just beaten fellow russian andre rublev in straight sets. later this morning, stefanos tsitsipas will plays rafa nadal in the last match of the quarter—finals. it's a rest week in the six nations, and that's just as well for france as their head coach has tested positive for coronavirus. the whole squad is isolating after fabien galthie and another non—playing staff member returned positive tests. the players will be tested regularly

this week ahead of their match against scotland a week on sunday. so they will have to isolate for seven days to make sure that they're not asymptomatic and not spreading it among the bubble in france. just as well it is a rest week, because next up the play scotland. we don't want them spreading into the scotland squad, do we?! here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. 0nce good morning. once again today it is going to be a mild day otherwise. wendy, rain at times, at the moment we have a band of rain which is quite heavy in places moving from the west towards the east of the uk. that is this front here. it is the second one that will drag its heels across southern areas and remain there for much of the day, only

moving north later on. the rain we currently have it eventually pushes into the north sea. you can see in the south where we have got the remnants of that rain and it will move north through the afternoon, getting into south wales, the midlands and remaining in east anglia. behind it we are looking at a lot of sunshine, that of dry weather and some showers. windy towards the west. gusts with exposure and north—west scotland up to 70 mph. but blustery for much of the rest of the uk. these white circles indicate sustained wind speeds. temperature wise today we are looking at seven in the north, 11 to 12 in the south, but generally speaking we are above average for the time of the year. through this evening and overnight here comes the rain in the south, moving steadily northwards. it could deliver snow in scotland. a new weather front from the west. that is also going to be putting east. it will be a windy night. it is not going to be a cold

one. we are not anticipating any issues with frost. through the course of tomorrow here is our first front heading north. he is the second one coming in from the west, moving east through the day. as you can see from the isobar as it is another blustery day. windy for some especially with exposure in the north west. a band of rain continues to drift eastwards. it will be bringing some showery outbreaks of rain across northern and north—western scotland, into northern ireland and north—western parts of england and wales as well. but this front is a cold front, so note the temperatures. down a touch on where they have been. but having said that, most of us will still be around average orjust above. on friday we have got a weather front coming in from the west. heavy rain, mountain snow in scotland. it doesn't make particularly good in roads further east. so eastern areas, although it will cloud up, should largely stay dry and the wind changes direction again, more of a

southerly component, so temperatures go back it up. seven to 12 degrees. as we head into the weekend we have got a waving front. it is literally doing this. the position of the rain is uncertain. again there will be red in the forecast, the south east is likely to stay the driest, but what you can see are the yellows and ambers returning to the charts. the mildest day of the weekend is likely to be sunday. you can see where we have got some rain, some showers and some drizzle. 0n have got some rain, some showers and some drizzle. on sunday it is more likely to be somewhere in the south east that hits the dizzy heights of 16, possibly 17. elsewhere, still above average for the time of the year. if you are wondering what the averages are, they are between seven and 9 degrees in our capital cities. carroll, thank you. we are going to stay with the weather theme. we are going to talk to someone who does yourjob in texas. get some detail about what is going on there. the us state of texas is experiencing freezing winds,

power cuts and some of its coldest temperatures in more than 30 years. frank billingsley is chief meteorologist at kprc—tv news station in houston, and joins us. morning to you. the middle of the night for you, i morning to you. the middle of the night foryou, i imagine. how are things going? what is the latest? you know what, it is so cold. normally— you know what, it is so cold. normally our high would be 20. today we were _ normally our high would be 20. today we were at— normally our high would be 20. today we were at one. normally our low would _ we were at one. normally our low would be — we were at one. normally our low would be eight. this morning we had anywhere _ would be eight. this morning we had anywhere between —10 and —17. —10 was at _ anywhere between —10 and —17. —10 was at our— anywhere between —10 and —17. —10 was at our airport. some of your viewers — was at our airport. some of your viewers may— was at our airport. some of your viewers may have flown into bush airport _ viewers may have flown into bush airport -10 — viewers may have flown into bush airport. —10 tied a record from 1895 — airport. —10 tied a record from 1895 we _ airport. —10 tied a record from 1895. we were the coldest for this day that— 1895. we were the coldest for this day that we have been for over 100 years _ day that we have been for over 100 years it _ day that we have been for over 100 years. it wasjust day that we have been for over 100 years. it was just extremely cold. it years. it was just extremely cold. it continues — years. it was just extremely cold. it continues to be. and now we have

and for many it seems online learning will remain in place for the rest of the year. many feel they've missed out and are calling for financial compensation. the government says it has put £70 million into hardship funds to help the hardest hit. here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. usually robbie would drive to uni, but he's barely been in this year. he's studying biomedical sciences, but has had just two hours in the lab, not what he needs to get a job afterwards. if i was to apply for a job and then they asked me maybe certain questions, or my understanding of certain machinery which we would use in a normal clinical environment, i probably won't be that confident on what it is that i need to do and what machine i sort of use. he knows students aren't the only ones struggling, but says they'll be paying loans for years to come.

i think universities currently have got off quite lightly. people are still paying their tuition fees, they're still getting the whole amount of the tuition fees, and they're not providing the level of service that they should, to be allowed to keep that amount of money. a few hundred miles away sam is due to graduate this year. he says students feel forgotten and isolated, afraid they won't get the degree they had hoped for. we are worried that if our degrees are going to be less valuable, or we get a grade that, if we were to be knocked down a whole grade from a first to a 2:1, or a 2:1 to a 2:2, that our degree would have an inherent lack of value. but also, looking into the job market as it is currently, with fears over whether we will get jobs _ across england students feel they've missed out. economist say unis can't afford to give back tuition fees — even a one—off payment to students would cost hundreds of millions. if somebody says, right, you know, all of a sudden, here's a big bill, and all of a sudden you have to refund all students £1000 each, you know, this will drive many into overdraft and they have nothing

to back it up. empty campuses mean money lost from catering and conferences. at reading, staff were asked to consider a pay cut. the uni says there isn't extra cash to give to students. i recognise that students want some of that money back they have loaned or paid. but from a university perspective i would say it really can't come from us. we have delivered the teaching. but i do recognise that there are different ways of thinking about how can we recognise the students', yeah, diminished experience, particularly the extracurricular experience? in england, students can get help from hardship funds £70 million of extra government cash. but northern ireland has put £500 straight into students pockets, a gesture to recognise what they've lost. branwen jeffreys, bbc news.

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. the backlog of patients waiting for cancer treatment for more than 104 days has nearly doubled in london since last year. national targets state cancer patients should be treated within 62 days of being referred — patients having to wait for more than 104 days is considered a 'serious breach'. nhs england said that covid was to blame and that the advice is still to come forward and get checked if you have worrying symptoms. the number of referrals for substance misuse by parents has more than doubled in london since the start of pandemic. the new figures — released by the nspcc — show that the monthly average number of referrals for alcohol and drug abuse by parents rose from 37 to 76

per month in london. and if you've been affected by any of the issues, you can find information about support in confidence on the bbc action line website. a community store dedicated to tackling food poverty in lewisham says it's been busier than ever since the covid—19 crisis began. the evelyn community store aims to reduce food poverty, with members paying £3.50 a week for £25 worth of fresh fruit, vegetables and other groceries that have been donated by supermarkets. they also provide financial advice. just to try and do what we can to help make their lives better. we don't know how warm or cold their flat is as well. yeah, and that's why we're doing it. it's freezing at the moment, absolutely freezing. if we can lighten the load on food, they can maybe perhaps use that money they're saving to use on electricity and heating. let's take a look at the travel situation now.

0n the trains — no service on southeastern — between maidstone east and 0tford due to a signalfailure — trains are either cancelled or diverted. good morning. it is a mild start again this morning. with the mild air though, of course, it's rather cloudy and we'll see further outbreaks of rain today, as another band of blustery, showery rain moves across. now these showers get stuck and through the afternoon we're likely to see them linger. they could be heavy from time to time and one or two of them merging together as well. the temperature today, despite the strengthening breeze, we're looking at a maximum of 11, maybe even 12 celsius, so it's another mild day. overnight the showers will gradually clear, at least to start with. we'll get some dry, some clear spells. the wind actually strengthening as we head into thursday morning. cloud increasing and more showers tomorrow. minimum temperature

down at seven celsius. as we head through tomorrow, another band of rain sweeps through in the morning. drier and brighter in the afternoon. looking dry at the moment for friday, but we're going to hang on to quite a bit of cloud. but as we head into the weekend, the risk of some rain for saturday. but the temperature is set to get milder, especially as we head towards sunday. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today. captain sir tom remembered by those who were closest to him in his final months. he wouldn't have wanted us to feel sorrow. he just wouldn't. and, look, i'm my father's daughter at the end of the day and he always said, when you're gone, you're gone. and he has gone and we had our lovely goodbyes. i don't feel cheated, none of us feel cheated. in theirfirst interview since his death, his daughter and grandchildren talk to this programme about protecting sir tom from online abuse, his pride in his fundraising, and his legacy in the years to come.

hospital leaders warn the prime minister not to ease lockdown in england until services are less stretched. they say it may take another six weeks. a reboot for the reds. it's advantage liverpool in the champions league, after a dreadful run at home. jurgen klopp says they showed what they can do. if you are looking for tips on staying positive, why not ask a former great britain rugby league captain? jamie peacock will here with some tips, and it's not just about staying fit. good morning. today once again is a mild day, a band of rain moving west to east. behind that, sunshine and showers. the rain will linger in southern areas and it will be blustery, windy particularly in the north west. all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 17th of february. our top story. the family of captain sir tom moore have spoken for the first time

about his final days before his death two weeks ago. the second world war veteran had become a symbol of hope and optimism during the pandemic after he raised almost £33 million for the nhs. now sir tom's daughter and grandchildren have told breakfast about coping with their loss, their pride in his achievements, and the online abuse they shielded him from. this report from john maguire contains flashing images. to the outside world, captain sir tom moore was a veteran of the second world war, a record—breaking fundraiser and an icon of our struggle with the pandemic. but here at his family home, he was first and foremost a father, father—in—law, and a grandfather. hannah, good to see you. thanks very much for inviting us to talk to you. how are you feeling, how are you and the family getting on? thank you for asking, john. i mean, it's difficult, right? we've lost a fifth.

we were a five and we have gone into a four. and that's really difficult to say. we've lost a huge part of our life. we've been together, he's been with us for over 13 years. and so it's the deafening silence, that's the way i can describe it. he died in hospital two weeks ago suffering pneumonia and having tested positive for covid—19. when he went into hospital, we really all believed he'd come back out. we thought that the oxygen would help, and that he would be robust enough. the truth is, he just wasn't. he was old. his final hours were spent with his family at his bedside, something that hasn't always been possible for many over the past year. in those, in that last day, we really did have some some super moments together. and, you know, we put photographs up and he engaged with us. it was amazing.

being thrust into the white heat of public scrutiny has come with a very modern virus, a curse. the vitriol from a small minority on social media. we really have to use our family resilience, our emotional resilience. and we never told him. because i don't think he could ever have understood it. i think it would have broken his heart, honestly, if we had said to him, you know, people are hating us. i couldn't tell him. because how do you rationalise to a 100—year—old man that something so incredibly good can attract such horror? his was a life most extraordinary. at the minute, it's hard, really, really, really hard, but the legacy is hope and joy, isn't it? and i think the thing that i feel is that other people are grieving too for him. and that's amazing in as much

as he touched all those people. i don't want to pass on to them grief that i don't want to pass on to them grief that is unrequited, you know, it's ok, it's ok, i think, to be sad. it's ok to grieve. and we know that you're grieving with us. but let's never lose sight of the fact that for him, this was all about, tomorrow will be a good day, and being hopeful. and no reason to sit and mourn for too long. get on with it. and make a good job of it. he couldn't have said it better himself, could he? thanks for lending him to us for the last ten months. thank you. and there are of course many exciting things to come and we look forward to sharing them with you. it's so lovely hearing those reflections. there is an acknowledgement of the sadness within the family, but saying, it's ok to be sad. it isn't more than 0k to be sad. it isn't more than that and the important thing is all

the thing that captain sir tom brought to the table, his optimism, and all those things as well.- and all those things as well. lovely to hear that — and all those things as well. lovely to hear that a _ and all those things as well. lovely to hear that a note _ and all those things as well. lovely to hear that a note of— and all those things as well. lovely to hear that a note of optimism. i we will have an extended interview with hannah and sir tom's grandchildren on breakfast at around ten past eight. the nhs is likely to remain "at full stretch" for at least another six weeks, according to the body which represents hospital managers. chris hopson, the chief executive of nhs providers, has written to the prime minister warning that case numbers are still too high to ease lockdown. it comes as research from the think tank reform suggests waiting lists for non—urgent treatment in england could hit 10 million by april, as our health editor hugh pym reports. the total waiting list for routine operations, such as hip and knee replacements in england, has been rising steadily with hospitals having to cope with the surge in covid patient numbers. it went above 4.5 million in december. reform says that number understates the scale of the problem as last year there were nearly 6 million fewer people than in 2019 referred by their gps for treatment.

if that many patients start returning to the system, the think tank argues, and capacity is still limited, the waiting list could hit 10 million in england by april. nhs england says twice as many nonurgent treatments were delivered and three times as many diagnostic checks carried out in the second covid wave compared with the first. and nhs providers, representing trusts in england, says restrictions should not be eased by the government until capacity has returned to levels where hospitals can treat all the patients they need to. hugh pym, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. we have talked all week about the fact that we know on monday the prime minister will make an announcement and head of that, there are so many different parts of the economy, the nhs, talking to ministers about what they would like to see. the really there really are

and the warning comes from nhs providers, the people who operate nhs providers who provide a lot of services, and they say that they are really up against it, they are really up against it, they of services, and they say that they are really up against it, they of a group of medics who say we need to get of covid places really write down. it is about 10,000 per day at the moment, it should fall to 1000 per day before you should open up. on the other side of the debate, 0n the other side of the debate, businesses, certain sections of the economy and low growing number of the conservative mps saying that the country could live with a slightly in the higher number of covid cases, and it is worth living with that because you can protect people's livelihoods. that is a balance the prime minister has to judge at the end of the week and over the weekend as he finalises the road map which

we will get to see on monday. that debate will not end on monday with the publication of the road map. it will continue for months because at each stage of the unlocking, the government and the medics and the economy and all of us will have to look and work out whether we are prepared to take the risk of opening up prepared to take the risk of opening up based on where the cases are. so we will be talking about this probably until the summer. i imagine we will, probably until the summer. i imagine we will. thank _ probably until the summer. i imagine we will, thank you _ probably until the summer. i imagine we will, thank you for _ probably until the summer. i imagine we will, thank you for the _ probably until the summer. i imagine we will, thank you for the moment. i surge testing for the south african variant of covid—19 is being expanded in several areas in england. testing has already been taking place across other parts of the country. the department of health and social care have confirmed it will also be set up in southampton, woking and parts of norfolk, where positive cases of the variant have been discovered. similar tests will also be carried out in manchester after a mutation of the kent variant was detected. the un's top human rights body says it will raise the detention of princess latifa,

the daughter of dubai's ruler, with the authorities in the united arab emirates. it's after the princess accused herfather, sheikh mohammed bin rashid al—makhtoum, of holding her hostage. in a series of secret videos obtained by the bbc, she describes how she fears for her life. the governments of dubai and the uae said that latifa is safe in the care of her family. the detention of myanmar leader by the country's military has been called a violation of her human rights by prime minister borisjohnson. the lawyer for aung san suu kyi told reporters that the ousted leader had received further charges from the police yesterday. protests against the coup are continuing across the country despite attempts by the military to suppress them. we're joined now by our south east asia correspondentjonathan head. good morning. boris johnson good morning. borisjohnson adding his criticism to the country's military, talk us through the latest

development. the military, talk us through the latest development-— development. the decision to go ahead with _ development. the decision to go ahead with the _ development. the decision to go ahead with the trial— development. the decision to go ahead with the trial of— development. the decision to go ahead with the trial of aung - development. the decision to go ahead with the trial of aung san | development. the decision to go - ahead with the trial of aung san suu kyishe, ahead with the trial of aung san suu kyi she, a completely bizarre process, she was not at court, she was at home joined by video link, and her lawyer didn't even know about the hearing and had no idea where she was going to be given an extra charge. the charges are absurd, ithink extra charge. the charges are absurd, i think we can say that it safely. she is charged with illegally possessing walkie—talkies, which were used by her security detail of state of the country, —— as head of state in the country. and breaking covid—19 restrictions in part of the election campaign last year. borisjohnson and others across the world saying it is a sham. it has sparked off an enormous process. the military in its fortress—like capital, and you don't see them anywhere else, has been trying to put across the message that they are a violent, attacking the police, forcing civil servants to stop work, and that is a problem

because government services grinding to a halt. the numbers outside our enormous, they bought the centre of the city in the capital to a standstill. they are blocking roads by pretending to have cars break down. and any free every —— and every colour and group in society is here at the protest. it is a desperate scrabble by the military government to claim some kind of legitimacy. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it's looking mild today, good morning. today we have a band of rain coming in from the west and pushing eastwards, some of it is heavy and it will clear foremost, but it will also be windy especially in the west. here is the radar track of the rain, it is a little bit further east than this show is at the moment, and it will continue to journey into the north sea. look at

the hang back of rain into the channel islands and southern england. that will edge further north into the afternoon. for most of us, behind that it will be a day of us, behind that it will be a day of sunshine and showers. a blustery day, windy out towards the west, through the irish sea but particularly across north—west scotland. with exposure we could have gusts up to 70 miles an hour —— 70 miles an hour. temperatures seven in the north to 12 in the south. overnight, a band of rain ensconced in the south of england and it is pushing northwards, could deposit some snow in the hills of northern ireland and the mountains of scotland. at the same time the next weather front coming from the west will be drifting eastwards, and with all of this going on it will not be all of this going on it will not be a cold night. no issues with any first. —— any frost. the band of rain is journeying eastwards,

curling across scotland, northern england and the south west of scotland, so you can expect some showers here but a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. the wind is veering south westerly so a bit cooler than it has been. millions of people who are classed as clinically extremely vulnerable have been shielding at home to protect themselves from coronavirus since last year. but now an extra 1.7 million people in england will be advised to do the same after scientists developed a new way to determine who's most at risk. so what do the changes mean? currently around 2.3 million people in england living with specific conditions or undergoing certain types of treatment are being advised to shield until the end of march. but this new model takes into account factors like age, deprivation, ethnicity, weight, underlying health conditions and prescribed medications to work out their risk of becoming seriously ill if they were to catch covid—19.

that means more than a million people will be contacted by the nhs and advised to shield. and of those, around 820,000 people haven't yet had a vaccination so will be urgently prioritised for the immunisation. we're joined now by linda bauld, who's professor of public health at the university of edinburgh. good to speak to you, thank you for joining us. take us through this change, and what specifically moves people into this new group of having to shields. , l, l, l, , to shields. good morning, sure. colleagues _ to shields. good morning, sure. colleagues at — to shields. good morning, sure. colleagues at the _ to shields. good morning, sure. colleagues at the university - to shields. good morning, sure. colleagues at the university of i colleagues at the university of scotland and others have predicted eight risk model for covid which gives a cumulative score for individuals. this is a tried and tested approach we used to try and identify people's risk for different conditions and what they have done is based on lots of hospital data from people who were admitted in the first wave, they are able to

identify much better than we were in 2020 what the risk factors are. as you were saying an introduction, isn'tjust you were saying an introduction, isn't just about underlying you were saying an introduction, isn'tjust about underlying health but also about socio economic characteristics. so the area someone lives in, their six, their age, characteristics. so the area someone lives in, theirsix, theirage, but also —— their gender, their age, but also —— their gender, their age, but also obesity and health factors. that gives a risk score and they have identified 1.7 million people who are at more serious risk. so they are being advised to shield until the end of march. around 900,000 of that group have already had theirfirst group 900,000 of that group have already had their first group of the vaccine but just had their first group of the vaccine butjust under had their first group of the vaccine but just under that had their first group of the vaccine butjust under that amount now need to be bumped up the list. that is good news to these individuals because not only are they being given advice and access to vaccination earlier, but they are eligible for statutory sick pay,

known about this are so many months so why announce this now? the known about this are so many months so why announce this now?— so why announce this now? the key thin is so why announce this now? the key thing is these _ so why announce this now? the key thing is these models _ so why announce this now? the key thing is these models takes - so why announce this now? the key thing is these models takes time i so why announce this now? the key thing is these models takes time to j thing is these models takes time to build, the data needs to accumulate and they were not willing to release this because it has implications for people's ability to move around, they didn't want to release until it was right. criticism that it was too late but it is my own view that it is better that people have accurate and tailored advice for themselves. is this the same across all the nations in the uk?— nations in the uk? this risk prediction _ nations in the uk? this risk prediction model _ nations in the uk? this risk prediction model was - nations in the uk? this risk - prediction model was developed on the basis of information from england. i would expect that we will hear much more from the welsh, northern ireland and scottish government about what that means that populations. earlier in the pandemic, there were some peer—reviewed papers released on the risks to the population scotland but it was very similar. we are hearing

much more on tuesday about the road map in scotland. we much more on tuesday about the road map in scotland-— map in scotland. we know in scotland that some of — map in scotland. we know in scotland that some of the _ map in scotland. we know in scotland that some of the youngest _ map in scotland. we know in scotland that some of the youngest pupils - map in scotland. we know in scotland that some of the youngest pupils are l that some of the youngest pupils are returning to school, presumably they will be monitoring the impact of that very carefully?— that very carefully? yes, it is a aradual that very carefully? yes, it is a gradual easing. _ that very carefully? yes, it is a gradual easing. that _ that very carefully? yes, it is a gradual easing. that is - that very carefully? yes, it is aj gradual easing. that is primary that very carefully? yes, it is a - gradual easing. that is primary one to three and then 80% of the older pupils who are facing practical assessment in the final two years of secondary school will be going back. they are being advised to maintain two metre social distancing and face coverings as they had to do previously. the younger ones, it's important to get those young children back in the classroom but the government is committed to not changing anything else until three weeks after that so there is time to see what the effect is, even though it is relatively few people, it is likely to have an impact on the r, not so much what happens in the classroom but you have more people moving around and households mixing as a result of the people is returning. i as a result of the people is returning-— as a result of the people is returning. as a result of the people is returnina. , l, l, l, , l, returning. i 'ust want to ask you about what — returning. i just want to ask you about what is _ returning. i just want to ask you about what is going _ returning. i just want to ask you about what is going on - returning. i just want to ask you about what is going on in - returning. i just want to ask you about what is going on in the i returning. i just want to ask you i about what is going on in the nhs, we have had nhs providers are saying

to and waiting lists for nonurgent operations are running high. what is the pressure like at the moment? still very serious. we have almost as many people in hospital now as we had at the peak of the first wave in april. i'm most familiar with the data in scottish hospitals and in some parts of the country in the central belt there is a real strain is still on the services. and we have a huge backlog of people who have a huge backlog of people who have not had cancer treatment, orthopaedic procedures, many people who will still be waiting many months to get treatment and that is hugely worrying. it is one of the unintended harms of this crisis, that we have these other health conditions that we will be hearing much more about in the future that still need to be treated. still very serious situation for the nhs which is why nhs providers are saying, while we move out of the restrictions in the coming months, it must be done carefully and gradually so we don't put additional pressure on services in the future.

professor, great to talk to you as ever, thank you very much for your time. let's pick up on that theme of seeking treatment at the right time. sir andrew strauss, the former cricket captain who lost his wife to lung cancer, is one of a number of celebrities to back a new campaign urging people to get their persistent coughs checked. it's as nhs england research shows two thirds of people would avoid seeing their gp, even if their symptoms had lasted for more than three weeks and they'd tested negative for coronavirus. let's take a look. looking back on it, she never told us how she was feeling, she was always making sure that we were all 0k and making sure that my dad was ok. i remember sitting there on the phone to the doctor, and she said, "i'm afraid it is lung cancer." my wife, ruth, was diagnosed with non—smoking lung cancer. ruth was unbelievably fit and healthy. the sort of person that you never thought would get ill. let's talk now to professor peterjohnson who is the national clinical director

for cancer at nhs england, and shan evans, who was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2015. good morning to both of you. maybe i can start with you, shan. how are you now, first of all?— can start with you, shan. how are you now, first of all? good morning. i'm ve you now, first of all? good morning. i'm very well- _ you now, first of all? good morning. i'm very well- i'm — you now, first of all? good morning. i'm very well. i'm really _ you now, first of all? good morning. i'm very well. i'm really very i you now, first of all? good morning. i'm very well. i'm really very fit i i'm very well. i'm really very fit and well, thank you.— i'm very well. i'm really very fit and well, thank you. that's the most im ortant and well, thank you. that's the most important thing- _ and well, thank you. that's the most important thing. and _ and well, thank you. that's the most important thing. and your _ and well, thank you. that's the most important thing. and your story i and well, thank you. that's the most important thing. and your story is i important thing. and your story is exactly what we're talking about today. do you want to take us back today. do you want to take us back to a point in time, you had a cough, what happened next? i to a point in time, you had a cough, what happened next?— what happened next? i did. at the bearinnin what happened next? i did. at the beginning of— what happened next? i did. at the beginning of 2016, _ what happened next? i did. at the beginning of 2016, i _ what happened next? i did. at the beginning of 2016, i just _ what happened next? i did. at the beginning of 2016, ijust had i what happened next? i did. at the beginning of 2016, ijust had a i beginning of 2016, ijust had a little annoying cough. it wasn't anything much. and i probably wouldn't have taken any notice of it at all, but friends said to me, you ought to go to the doctor with that. and when i went to the doctors, there is said, you should get it seen to. —— the receptionist said you should get it seen to. i was

a community store dedicated to tackling food poverty in lewisham says it's been busier than ever since the covid19 crisis began the evelyn community store aims to reduce food poverty, with members paying £3.50 a week for £25 worth of fresh fruit, vegetables and other groceries donated by supermarkets. they also provide financial advice. just to try and do what we can to help make their lives better. we don't know how warm or cold their flat is as well. yeah, and that's why we're doing it. it's freezing at the moment, absolutely freezing. if we can lighten the load on food, they can maybe perhaps use that money they're saving to use on electricity and heating. the big issue is launching a new pilot scheme with linkedin to support vendors who have lost their livelihoods due to the covid—19 crisis. a number of magazine sellers have received specialist training from the networking site to help them build digital skills with the aim of reaching customers online.

let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the trains, no service on southeastern between maidstone east and 0tford due to a signalfailure. on the roads, there are queues towards the blackwall tunnel northbound. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a mild start again this morning. with the mild air though, of course, it's rather cloudy and we'll see further outbreaks of rain today, as another band of blustery, showery rain moves across. now these showers get stuck and through the afternoon we're likely to see them linger. they could be heavy from time to time and one or two of them merging together as well. the temperature today, despite the strengthening breeze, we're looking at a maximum of 11, maybe even 12 celsius, so it's another mild day. overnight the showers will gradually clear, at least to start with. we'll get some dry, some clear spells. the wind actually strengthening as we head into thursday morning. cloud increasing and

more showers tomorrow. minimum temperature down at seven celsius. as we head through tomorrow, another band of rain sweeps through in the morning. drier and brighter in the afternoon. looking dry at the moment for friday, but we're going to hang on to quite a bit of cloud. but as we head into the weekend, the risk of some rain for saturday. but the temperature is set to get milder, especially as we head towards sunday. i'm back in an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. the government is calling for a temporary ceasefire in all the world's conflict zones to allow people to be vaccinated safely. the foreign secretary will chair a meeting of the un security council later today, urging members to agree a resolution to prevent more than 160 million people being excluded from immunisations. foreign secretary dominic raabjoins us now. good morning to you. thank you for

this win didn't mean all their problems were over. look, we are not children any more, so that we now think, ok, we won that game and now everything is fine again. so, for me, it's much more important that we played again good football. again, not for the first time. in the last few weeks, i understand it and respect it 100% that nobody�*s really happy with the results, that's clear. but the football we played, whatever they tried tonight, we had an answer. kylian mbappe scored a stunning hat—trick for paris saint germain at the nou camp, as they beat barcelona 4—1. that's no guarantee of winning the tie though — four years ago psg led barca 4—0 after the first leg, and lost the second 6—1. world number one ashleigh barty has been knocked out of the australian open, ending hopes for a first

home winner in 43 years. barty led by a set and a break against 25th seed karolina muchova, but, after a medical time—out, muchova fought back to take the match in three sets. she'll playjennifer brady next in the semi—finals. in—form daniil medvedev has beaten his fellow russian andrey rublev in straight sets — that stretched his winning run to 19 matches. world number four medvedev is looking for a first grand slam title. on court next, it's stefanos tsitsipas against rafa nadal in the last of the quarterfinals. it's a rest week in the six nations and that's just as well for france as their head coach has tested positive for coronavirus. the whole squad is isolating after fabien galthie, and another non—playing staff member returned positive tests. the players will be tested regularly this week ahead of their match against scotland a week on sunday.

northern ireland and the mountains in scotland. the second half of the night in you weather front comes in from the west introducing some more rain. a windy night. it is not going to be a cold one. temperatures staying in single figures. for some of us, high single figures. tomorrow our weather front of us, high single figures. tomorrow our weatherfront slowly of us, high single figures. tomorrow our weather front slowly moves over towards the east. if you look at this big curl, that is going to produce some further showery outbreaks of rain in western areas. after a dry start in the east, here comes the rain. behind it, and brighten up. some sunshine. a blustery day. this is a cold front. winds will be westerly to south—westerly. temperatures down. more or less above average. a new weather front comes our way on friday, introducing all this rain and again, some snow on the hills of scotland. but the winds change their eggs into a southerly. the temperatures are going up again. we think it is going to stay dry but

the winds will build. temperatures are seven to 12. weekend forecast is giving us such a headache, and that is because we have got a waving front. as the name suggests, it is literally doing that. where the front is will determine where we are going to see some rain. at the moment it looks like a lot of us will see the rain. the south—east good side dry. —— could stay dry. the wildest day is likely to be —— the highest temperatures are likely to be on sunday, 16 to 17 degrees. that is in stark contrast to the maximum temperature in moscow, —12, -13. maximum temperature in moscow, —12, —13. you might be wondering why i am telling you that was stop i want to show you some cute pictures of a panda playing in the snow in moscow. it is not unusual at this time of the year to see snow in moscow or to see low temperatures for that matter either. but he does look like he is having a ball. he is very, very

none of us feel cheated. in theirfirst interview since his death, his daughter and grand children talk to this programme about protecting sir tom from online abuse, his pride in his fund raising, and his legacy in the years to come. hospital leaders warn the prime minister not to ease lockdown in england until services are less stretched. they say it may take another six weeks. good morning. what is the future of hard cash? with more people using contactless payments, there are calls on the government to protect access to coins and notes, for the most vulnerable. after thousands respond to the case of the mountain rescue volunteer badly injured helping two people who broke lockdown, we look at the couragous work of the teams. good morning, another mild day ahead of us but another band of rain moving from west to east, that will clear and then sunshine and showers except for in the south where we will hang on the rain much of the

day and it will windy. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 17th of february. in a few minutes we'll hear from the family of sir captain tom moore, as they speak for the first time since his death two weeks ago. they have been sharing their cherished memories of the second world war veteran, and their pride in his achievements and legacy. first here are some of today's other main stories. the nhs is likely to remain "at full stretch" for at least another six weeks, according to the body which represents hospital managers. chris hopson, the chief executive of nhs providers, has written to the prime minister warning that case numbers are still too high to ease lockdown. it comes as research from the think tank reform suggests waiting lists for non—urgent treatment in england could hit 10 million by april, as our health editor hugh pym reports. the total waiting list for routine operations,

such as hip and knee replacements in england, has been rising steadily with hospitals having to cope with the surge in covid patient numbers. it went above ij.5 million in december. reform says that number understates the scale of the problem as last year there were nearly 6 million fewer people than in 2019 referred by their gps for treatment. if that many patients start returning to the system, the think tank argues, and capacity is still limited, the waiting list could hit 10 million in england by april. nhs england says twice as many nonurgent treatments were delivered and three times as many diagnostic checks carried out in the second covid wave compared with the first. and nhs providers, representing trusts in england, says restrictions should not be eased by the government until capacity has returned to levels where hospitals can treat all the patients they need to. hugh pym, bbc news. case numbers need to come right the

way day so the virus doesn't bounce back like it did last year. we need the nhs to have the capacity to have all the treatments that we need to do and we have 17,000 patients with covid in english hospitals. we need the vaccination programme to provide adequate protection and if you remember, it is only when you vaccinate in all nine priority groups, not the four you have already done, that you get the 99% reduction in risk of unnecessary death. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. we have to wait until monday to find out what will happen next in terms of what will change, but in this time in between, some very important voices are talking about the reality of what's happening. fries. voices are talking about the reality of what's happening.— voices are talking about the reality of what's happening. yes, the prime minister will — of what's happening. yes, the prime minister will have _ of what's happening. yes, the prime minister will have to _ of what's happening. yes, the prime minister will have to make _ of what's happening. yes, the prime minister will have to make a - minister will have to make a judgment and strike a balance in the next few days before he publishes his road map on monday. the balance will be between on the one side, medics and scientists like we heard from nhs providers today saying that the number of cases should fall from

10,000 a, where it is now come up to 1000 a day before you start using a lockdown easing. and then on the other side, sectors of the economy and an increasing number of members of parliament in the conservative party saying there is an too much focus on the number of cases and we should live with a certain amount of cases in order to open up the economy and protectjobs. we will have to continue making that —— he will have to continue making this judgment over the next few months because this road map will propose lifting the lockdown slowly and in stages and at each stage the balance will have to be looked at. international diplomacy is quite tricky and a story over the last 26 hours has proved that, we are looking at the legit hostagetaking

we are a population of around 3.5 million texans and 2.4 million of them do not have power tonight. tha nkfully thankfully things are not the same here, are they, carol? good morning. no, good morning everybody. at the moment 73% of the united states of america is covered by snow. we don't have any snow in the forecast from a couple of hills but —— apart from in a couple of hills but we have a lot of rain. we have a damp start in wales, a band of rain moving from the west to the east will clear to the west to the east will clear to the north sea but remain across southern part of england. this is another weather front which will drift northwards as we go through the afternoon. for many of us, we are looking at a dry day with a fair bit of sunshine, showers out to the west and fairly windy with exposure around the outer hebrides, we could have cost as much as 70 miles an

hour. these are the sustained wind speeds. temperatures ranging from seven in the north to 13 in hull. a band of rain in the south tonight migrates northwards, depositing snow in the hills of northern ireland and the mountains of scotland. in the second half of the night a new weather front comes in from the west bringing more rain. afair weather front comes in from the west bringing more rain. a fair bit of cloud ahead of that, some clear skies, still windy but not anticipating any problems with frost. it will be quite mild for the time of year. tomorrow we start off with rain in the west and it is slowly pushing eastward through the day. brightening up behind it. it has also got a kernel of showery outbreaks of rain coming in behind it as well across northern ireland and parts of scotland especially in the north west of england and parts of wales. blustery and windy but the wind is coming from a different direction. more of a westerly component to it. this is a cold

front so temperatures will be down a touch from what we are looking at today. and certainly at the weekend. for the first time since captain sir tom moore's death two weeks ago, his family has spoken to breakfast about their pride in his achievements and adjusting to life without him. sir tom won the hearts of the nation and earned admiration around the globe when he raised almost £33 million for the nhs during the first lockdown last year. now those nearest to him want his legacy of hope and joy to be remembered. this report from john maguire has flashing images. to the outside world, captain sir tom moore was a veteran of the second world war, a record breaking fundraiser and an icon of our struggle

with the pandemic. but here at his family home, he was first and foremost a father, a father—in—law and a grandfather. this is my father's shed. there it is. there it is, granddad's fix—it shop. hannah, good to see you. thanks very much for inviting us to talk to you. how are you feeling? how are you and the family getting on? thank you for asking, john. i mean, it's difficult, right? we've lost a fifth. you know, we were five and we've gone to a four. and that's really difficult to say. you know, we've lost a huge part of our life.

you know, we've been together, you know, he'd been with us for over 13 years. and so it's the, you know, it's the deafening silence, that's the way i can describe it, you know. so my habit when i come out of my bedroom in the morning is to look left to his to see if his lights are on and see if i can hear him moving around. and it's a hard habit to break. but he wouldn't have wanted us to feel sorrow. he just wouldn't. and look, i'm my father's daughter at the end of the day. and he always said, "when you're gone, you're gone." and he has gone and we had our lovely goodbyes. i don't feel cheated. none of us feel cheated. we just feel sad. it's an ache because he's here. doing the first food shop without his things on it. it's really hard. so i, you know, really understand, we understand loss. he died in hospital two weeks ago, suffering pneumonia and having tested positive for covid—19. when he went into hospital, we really all believed

he'd come back out. we thought a bit of... the oxygen would help and that he would be robust enough. the truth is, he just wasn't. he was old and he just he just couldn't fight it. so there was a realisation, i think, pretty quickly that he wasn't going to come out. he and i were together, just he and i, and keep in mind that i'm in full ppe. so quite hard for him to have me sitting next to him like that, because it's not like seeing the real me, is it? so we got through it and we chatted. we were still able to chat then and we had some really lovely conversation. and i can... and this was before the final day. and i can honestly say the thing that he was so proud of and it just oozed out of him. he said, "i'm coming back out. there's more fundraising in me yet

and i'm coming back out to walk." and he felt so proud of the foundation. and he hadn't articulated it so passionately before, but he really articulated the pride that he felt in that lasting legacy. his final hours were spent with his family at his bedside, something that hasn't always been possible for many over the past year. isaid to him in, you know, the last few days, "so what are you going to eat when you come home?" and we decided it was steak and chips. and he really was really excited about coming out for steak and chips and getting his frame back outside and his walker. and in those in that last day, when my sister was on facetime, we really did have some super moments together. and, you know, we put photographs up and he engaged with us. and it was amazing. desperately sad. desperately, desperately sad, but really good.

and really hopeful. he moved here in his mid '805 with hannah and herfamily arriving at the same time. and he insisted on some modifications, such as a flagpole. and the flag would be hoisted, raised every day? no, he'd change it according to how he felt. if there was a major event, he'd change it. obviously, the welsh flag. most often we had the union flag, of course. and, um, and we felt that we should put it to half mast. their time was precious. i've got so much more close to him. it's been amazing. i've sat with him, we're talking about the army, talking about his favorite songs, all of that that's been so, so special to me and thinking that he's passed away, which is so sad. but these memories i will hold forever. we used to go gardening i in the garden and we used to do stamping, painting,

all those sorts of stuff. i he was feeding the dogs treats i and then our dog got overweight. so we had to say, no! you had to put your foot down. yeah. life living with a young family rejuvenated him, as did his incredible last year, culminating in a very special audience with her majesty the queen. i've joked with my friends and said, honestly, if it wasn't covid, i think they'd have gone off for a cup of tea and had a good chinwag into the afternoon because it was two similar souls. yeah. and i think she felt genuine loss. we had a lovely letter from her and i think that she feels genuine loss. it's another one of her generation, isn't it? the greatest generation. yeah. being thrust into the white heat of public scrutiny has come with a very modern virus, a curse, the vitriol from a small minority on social media.

we really had to use ourfamily resilience, our emotional resilience. and we never told him because i don't think he could ever have understood it. i think it would have broken his heart, honestly, if we'd said to him, you know, people are hating us. i couldn't tell him, because how do you rationalise to a 100—year—old man that something so incredibly good can attract such horror? so we contained it within the four of us and we said that we won't play to them. we're not talking to those vile minority. we're not, because we're talking to the massive majority of people who we just connect with. and latterly, when it was as pretty horrific as it could be, i didn't tell him. it didn't come close to him, but it really did, it really did hurt. and it really is really

hard to deal with. but we have dealt with it and they will not win. they will never make this amazing thing negative, noy ever. thing negative, not ever. we won't let them. on the rare occasions captain tom left home, he was able to witness first—hand the love people felt for him. it was just extraordinary. people would say they needed something to lean on. their knees were going and they would say, "oh, you made my year," just by seeing the family. and as we walked past mothers and fathers with their babies in the prams, they would literally be picking up their baby saying, "look at my baby." and he didn't really know how to cope with that of course. and he loved babies. so he was able to say, "oh, no, he looks so cute." and he meant it too. but who can ever prepare you for that? the family was invited to barbados for christmas, a trip from his bucket list, a trip of a long lifetime.

and he said before we went, i said, i think you need some shorts. and he went, "i haven't worn shorts for 30 years. and my legs are too thin. and i said, "but they're not. and anyway, nobody cares. nobody cares. you're captain tom. you can do what you like. most famous legs in the world. yes, fabulous. everyone wants to see your legs. so i bought him shorts and short sleeve shirts. and then literally the day before we were going, i said, "have you got sandals?" and he went, "i threw them out in 1975." one of the funniest people that we met out there, i'd actually no idea who he was at the start, but russ abbott, one of the funniest comedians i've seen in my entire life. and along with that, cliff richards, who was absolutely an honour to meet. he was lovely. and the conversation he had with grandad, it was gripping. they really enjoyed each other's company. and that was really lovely to see. and among the surprises, captain tom and his famous walker starred among the stars in london's new year's eve fireworks display. did you know anything about it? we did, yes, cos we'd said yes.

did he? no, i kept it secret from him. so we knew and we'd said, "quick, come and have a look." and unbelievable. he was just blown away by it. it was just a great moment, wasn't it, to see out the year. he was thrilled. he probablyjumped out of his chair. really, he was thrilled. his name will live on. his was a life most extraordinary. i mean, it's hard, really, really hard, but the legacy is hope and joy, isn't it? and i think the thing that i feel is that other people are grieving, too, for him. and that's amazing. in as much as he touched all those people and i don't want to pass on to them grief that's unrequited, you know, it's ok. it's ok, i think, to be sad.

it's ok to grieve. and we know that you're grieving with us, but let's never lose sight of the fact that for him, this was all about tomorrow will be a good day and being hopeful and no reason to sit and mourn for too long. you know, get on with it and make a good job of it. he couldn't have said it better himself, could he? thanks for lending him to us for the last ten months. well, thank you. and there are, of course, many exciting things to come and we look forward to sharing them with you. thank you. it's really wonderful to hear more about him and alsojohn makes the point, thank you for lending him to us. he has been so much part of so many of our lives as well. infer?r us. he has been so much part of so many of our lives as well. very much the sentiment _ many of our lives as well. very much the sentiment a _ many of our lives as well. very much the sentiment a lot _ many of our lives as well. very much the sentiment a lot of— many of our lives as well. very much the sentiment a lot of people - many of our lives as well. very much the sentiment a lot of people have, l the sentiment a lot of people have, he was adopted into their families. when you listen through to the way that hannah, and she says it so well, anyone who has lost

particularly an elderly relative knows those mixed emotions. the sadness, she described walking out and looking into the room, that makes you sad. then you have the other emotions, which is thejoy makes you sad. then you have the other emotions, which is the joy and the delight of the life led to the full. and he said it better than anyone. full. and he said it better than an one. �* ., , ., anyone. and it goes without saying, but let's say — anyone. and it goes without saying, but let's say it _ anyone. and it goes without saying, but let's say it one-month - anyone. and it goes without saying, but let's say it one-month time. i anyone. and it goes without saying, but let's say it one-month time. -- | but let's say it one—month time. —— one more time. a big thank you to captain sir tom's daughter, hannah, and grandchildren benji and georgia. we are all used to contactless payment, a lot less cash knocking around. you talked about this yesterday, and a lot of people picked up on it. not for everyone a great thing. yes, good morning. huge interest in this story today because cash remains essential for around 8 million people. not everyone is comfortable with digital payments and at the same time, atms and bank closures are continuing at pace.

good morning everyone. clearly lots of you are concerned about the future of cash, given the rise in contactless payments. some shops have refused banknotes and coins during the pandemic. last year, we withdrew a lot less cash. £81 billion. that's still a huge amount of money but that's actually down nearly 40% on the amount we took out the year before. now despite that, the average uk consumer still took out £1,500 last year. 50 cash is not dead and for vulnerable people or those in rural communities it's more important than ever. the problem is the number of atms fell by 10% last year, and the post office has plans to cut a third of its cash machines over the next year or so. and what about banks? well, lots of plans for branch closures were put on hold last year. but hsbc, barclays, lloyds and tsb have all announced closures for this year.

and consumer group which estimates 11 banks every week could close 40% of branches. steven runs a centre for people with learning disabilities and other special needs in botton village in north yorkshire. they've now got a brand new post office counter and atm. botton village supports around 60 people on site in supported living accommodation. and the people we support predominantly have learning disabilities. our local bank closed down, i believe, around about seven years ago so access to cash has been quite limited. we know we are entering an age of technology, but a lot of our people we support are used to handling cash and it also helps people to budget more smartly, more effectively. actually the feel of cash, counting out money, is really important to increase people's independence. the government told us they are working on legislation regarding access to cash. they know how vital this is and have

listened to the evidence. they're going to announce the next steps soon. and there are some interesting trials going on at the moment testing out new ways of getting cash to people. so ordering money with your food delivery is one option, or getting cash back at the village shop without having to buy anything else. lots of you have been getting in touch again this morning with some of your thoughts on how to tackle to this issue. shirley emailed in to say that 'cash is essential for many reasons. it helps to teach children maths and the value of money'. val from carrickfergus in northern ireland says her friend in her mid—70s had their local branch closed. she now travels seven miles on the bus to the city centre to do her banking. steven from lancashire told us he uses cash every week, spending notes and coins at local shops and cashing money at the bank, even though it's eight miles from home.

and pamela from the new forest emailed asking how a cashless society could impact street performers. her teenage daughter busks in the village to make some extra cash while studying. thank you for all your emails and comments. and it's worth remembering that although we're not using as much cash, there is still lots of it about. 29 billion coins to be exact. and another fact for you, the fatest growing notes the fatsest growing notes are 20 and 50 pounds. people have predicting the end of cash since the arrival of credit cards but the pandemic has accelerated that shift to a cashless society and highlighting these issues ever more. can society and highlighting these issues ever more.— society and highlighting these issues ever more. . y ., . issues ever more. can you lend me a fiver? i use — issues ever more. can you lend me a fiver? i use contactless, _ issues ever more. can you lend me a fiver? i use contactless, i— issues ever more. can you lend me a fiver? i use contactless, i can't - fiver? i use contactless, i can't remember— fiver? i use contactless, i can't remember the _ fiver? i use contactless, i can't remember the last _ fiver? i use contactless, i can't remember the last time - fiver? i use contactless, i can't remember the last time i - fiver? i use contactless, i can't remember the last time i had i fiver? i use contactless, i can't i remember the last time i had cash fiver? i use contactless, i can't - remember the last time i had cash on me apart from the £1 coin that i put

let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube minor delays on the hammersmith and city line due to train cancellations. also the waterloo & city line is closed for the time being for engineering works. on the trains, still no service on southeastern — replacement buses are now running between maidstone east and 0tford because of a signal failure. and on the roads, there are delays on the aijo into london from greenford to hanger lane. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a mild start again this morning. with the mild air though, of course, it's rather cloudy and we'll see further outbreaks of rain today, as another band of blustery, showery rain moves across. now these showers get stuck and through the afternoon we're likely to see them linger. they could be heavy from time to time and one or two of them merging together as well. the temperature today,

despite the strengthening breeze, we're looking at a maximum of 11, maybe even 12 celsius, so it's another mild day. overnight the showers will gradually clear, at least to start with. we'll get some dry, some clear spells. the wind actually strengthening as we head into thursday morning. cloud increasing and more showers tomorrow. minimum temperature down at seven celsius. as we head through tomorrow, another band of rain sweeps through in the morning. drier and brighter in the afternoon. looking dry at the moment for friday, but we're going to hang on to quite a bit of cloud. but as we head into the weekend, the risk of some rain for saturday. but the temperature is set to get milder, especially as we head towards sunday. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. 8:31am.

ijust remember hearing the defibrillator going off again and again, and again and again and again. and ijust kind of prepared myself that they were going to pull the yellow tent back and say, i'm really sorry. august bank holiday, three years ago, alex and her husband paul, a formerfirefighter, were walking in the lake district. i remember being on the ridge at the top and just saying to alex, allegedly there's an easy path for myself and the dog to take. and that is all i can remember. paul still isn't sure how it happened, but he ended up falling 650 feet. he suffered terrible life threatening injuries. alex called mountain rescue. the only way paul was ever going to survive this was if the guys physically moved him down the most horrendous terrain as fast as they possibly could. and i mean, with speed.

there have been a lot of rescues, but that's one rescue where we had a chance to really make a difference. he had some fight and he had a fighting chance that day. and all the emergency services worked together and we had a bit of luck, lthink~ _ so yeah, that's definitely a satisfying rescue, yeah. paul was carried to safety by members of the patterdale mountain rescue team and eventually airlifted to hospital. the extraordinary work done by mountain rescue has been brought into sharp focus in the last week. this is chris lewis, part of the patterdale team. chris was going to the aid of two campers who had broken lockdown rules when he slipped, fell and suffered life changing injuries. his colleagues and friends have set up a just giving page. it has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds in just 26 hours. it has been absolutely phenomenal. and the comments on that page

are tremendous as well. his wife sent me a message to say it was just so heart—warming to see not only what his rescue team colleagues thought about him, but actually what the general public think about mountain rescue. and i think she sums it up really well. this is british mountaineer alan hinckes. the mountaineering world devastated by what has happened to chris. when something happens to someone like chris, who is experienced, for that mountain rescue team member it is more than tragic. they are unsung heroes to a certain extent. they don't like being called heroes. they are very, very committed, very, very professional. they're all volunteers. so they are professional volunteers, very experienced, dedicated people. it took paul months and months to recoverfrom his fall, but once he was fit enough he visited the patterdale team to say thank you. in the group photo, chris lewis. i've done 30 years in the fire service as a paid fire service member.

and them guys, they provide that level of service as volunteers. you know, giving up their time, family time, children time. at the drop of a hat they come to your attention if you need it. and, eh... ..yeah, just thank you patterdale. i just feel so sorry for chris and his family, you know, but they are going to be ok. but yeah, it's... he's got a long journey ahead and i do feel sorry for them. chris remains in intensive care. his team say the money raised will be a vital help to his recovery. graham satchell, bbc news. so many of you have been really touched by chris's story. since we've been on air,

blustery, windy towards the west and those —— there is rain at times. you can see what is happening already. we have an arc of rain coming in from the west. it is moving east, depositing snow in the mountains of scotland. it is courtesy of these weather front drifting into the north sea. it is the second weather front in the southern areas that is still going to produce rain through the day. you can see how nicely that it clears. it leaves sunshine and showers behind. we have got the trailing front across the channel islands, southern england, getting into south wales and the midlands, east anglia. blustery but windy through the rac, especially windy with exposure around the outer hebrides. gusty winds around 70 mph. the wide circles represent sustained wind speeds. it will be fairly blustery. wherever you are. temperatures today, seven in lerwick, nine in glasgow, 12 in norwich and 13 in hull. this evening

and overnight the rain in the south will advance northwards, depositing snow in the hills of northern ireland and over the mountains of scotland. in the second half of the night we will see a new weather front coming in from the west. that will introduce some rain. another windy night. not a cold one. we are not anticipating any problems with frost. our weatherfront not anticipating any problems with frost. our weather front in the west bringing in the rain by the end of the night will stop through tomorrow it will slowly push eased. another windy day tomorrow. after a dry start in the east, but behind it sunny spells developing. we have got this big curl of rain towards the west. some of it will be fairly showery. there is more a westerly component to the weather. this is a cold front. 50 temperatures will be a little bit lower. in actualfact, they are more or less bang on where they are more or less bang on where they should be at this point in february. friday is looking rather unsettled. a new weather front

coming in from the west. once again introducing a fair bit of rain with some snow on the mountains of scotland. the wind will veer to a southerly direction. that is a much milder direction for us. temperatures back up again. seven to 12 degrees. the weekend forecast is still a little bit uncertain. that's because we have got what we call a waving front. you can see into doing literallyjust waving front. you can see into doing literally just that. waving front. you can see into doing literallyjust that. it is waving. wherever it waves will be where we will see the rain. the south—east will see the rain. the south—east will stay driest, the rest of us more prone to the rain. look at sunday, all of these ambers coming up. forecast for the weekend. saturday unsettled. temperatures picking up. on sunday, still some rain and showers. but we could see temperatures at 16 to 17 in the south—east. in other parts of the country temperatures will still be above average. what a gorgeous wee boy he was. he made my day. thank you.

and on that note, fletcher works at a slightly lower altitude than the rest of us. anything specific for him weather—wise? rest of us. anything specific for him weather-wise? ~ . , ., him weather-wise? weather-wise, no! it can be colder — him weather-wise? weather-wise, no! it can be colder sometimes _ him weather-wise? weather-wise, no! it can be colder sometimes closer- him weather-wise? weather-wise, no! it can be colder sometimes closer to i it can be colder sometimes closer to the ground. but then again it can be cold if you are right up there as well. he is lovely. i think it is probably my scottish accent. it’s probably my scottish accent. it's lovel to probably my scottish accent. it�*s lovely to see. thank you. university students are still waiting to find out when they can return to campus, and for many it seems online learning will remain in place for the rest of the year. many feel they've missed out and are calling for financial compensation. the government says it has put 70 million pounds into hardship funds to help the hardest hit. here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. usually robbie would drive to uni, but he's barely been in this year. he's studying biomedical sciences, but has had just two hours in the lab, not what he needs to get

a job afterwards. if i was to apply for a job and then they asked me maybe certain questions, or my understanding of certain machinery which we would use in a normal clinical environment, i probably won't be that confident on what it is that i need to do and what machinery i sort of use. he knows students aren't the only ones struggling, but says they'll be paying loans for years to come. i think universities currently have got off quite lightly. people are still paying their tuition fees, they're still getting the whole amount of the tuition fees, and they're not providing the level of service that they should, to be allowed to keep that amount of money. a few hundred miles away sam is due to graduate this year. he says students feel forgotten and isolated, afraid they won't get the degree they had hoped for. we are worried that if our degrees are going to be less valuable, or we get a grade that,

if we were to be knocked down a whole grade from a first to a 2:1, or a 2:1 to a 2:2, that our degree would have an inherent lack of value. but also, looking into the job market as it is currently, we have fears over whether we will get jobs. across england students feel they've missed out. economist say unis can't afford to give back tuition fees — even a one—off payment to students would cost hundreds of millions. if somebody says, right, you know, all of a sudden, here's a big bill, and all of a sudden you have to refund all students £1000 each, you know, this will drive many into overdraft and they have nothing to back it up. empty campuses mean money lost from catering and conferences. at reading, staff were asked to consider a pay cut. the uni says there isn't extra cash to give to students. i recognise that students want some of that money back they have loaned or paid. but from a university perspective i would say it really can't come from us.

we have delivered the teaching. but i do recognise that there are different ways of thinking about how can we recognise the students', yeah, diminished experience, particularly the extracurricular experience? in england, students can get help from hardship funds £70 million of extra government cash. but northern ireland has put £500 straight into students pockets, a gesture to recognise what they've lost. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. last year conservative mp tracey crouch was dealt an unexpected blow when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. thankfully, tracey�*s cancer was caught early, and since then she has been urging anyone concerned about their own health to see their gp. yesterday, after months of treatment, she celebrated her final round of radiotherapy, posting this on twitter to say she was off to "max out on life". tracey joins us now.
