6:02 am
questions about what may or may not be left out. it is understood sue grey had been keen not to have to or blank out large parts of it, but she will abide by the requirement not to the police investigation. last night the police investigation. last night the met police said they had received all the material requested from the cabinet office to support its investigation, and will examine its investigation, and will examine it in detail without fear or favour. they have asked that sue grey's report contains minimal reference to the events they are looking at, so that detectives are given the most reliable picture of what happened. some tory mps have joined the opposition in saying the full report needs to come out. i opposition in saying the full report needs to come out.— opposition in saying the full report needs to come out. i think number ten, the metropolitan _ needs to come out. i think number ten, the metropolitan police - needs to come out. i think number ten, the metropolitan police and l needs to come out. i think number l ten, the metropolitan police and sue grey should get around a table and worked out a way so that this report can be published in full unredacted, so that notjust mps but our constituents, more importantly, can make a judgement on what has happened. figs make a judgement on what has happened-— make a judgement on what has hauened. r ., . , ~' , ., happened. as for what is likely to ha en to happened. as for what is likely to happen to anyone _ happened. as for what is likely to happen to anyone found - happened. as for what is likely to happen to anyone found to - happened. as for what is likely to happen to anyone found to have i happen to anyone found to have broken rules, the met says, if

proven, defences would usually result in a fixed penalty notice, and that its actions would be proportionate to that. it has denied delaying the report answers the timing of its release is up to the cabinet office. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. changes to the highway code come in today, aimed at boosting safety for vulnerable users like pedestrians, cyclists and horseriders. there are concerns that not all drivers are aware of the new rules, as our transport corresponding katy austin reports. if you are out and about on the roads for today, there are major updates you need to be aware of. updates to the highway code. one example is, if you are driving and want to turn at a junction, you should give way to any pedestrians waiting to cross, as well as those already crossing, even if there is traffic waiting behind you. other updates include that cyclists going straight ahead atjunctions have priority over traffic wanting to turn, and in some situations such as
6:04 am
slow traffic, they are advised to ride in the centre of a lane to be clearly visible. cyclists are reminded they can ride two abreast, which can be safer, for example, in large groups, and drivers are told to leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking. and what about horseriders? drivers and motorcyclists are advised to leave two metres when overtaking them, and pass at less than ten mph. paula thinks many don't realise the risks. there have been some major incidents. the main causes, people arejust incidents. the main causes, people are just driving too close to us. we've had a glazier�*s than that hit a horse, took the stirrup from the horse, and dragged the horse backwards with the rider on it. —— glazier�*s van. i've been hit as well, it was a delivery van that came around the corner and hit my leg when he was driving past. the highway code is amazing, it's a really good start. we now need to keep the momentum going. the government _ keep the momentum going. the government is — keep the momentum going. the government is planning an awareness

6:25 am
no, but if i did, which direction would i have to launch it? not upwards. not up! because if i did, it'd come straight back down again. that's gravity. that's gravity! no, if you wanted this to go into orbit, you would have to make it go really fast sideways, about 17,000 miles an hour, so as it fell, it missed the surface of the earth and just went around it. that's why rockets need so much fuel. exactly! which has been a problem since forever. but there is another way to get this apple to go that fast. any ideas? go on, amaze me. so, you could attach it to a long arm and then start spinning it round and round and round, and round and round, getting faster and faster, and once you're at the right speed...you let it go! that's bananas! no, it's an apple. all right, here we go. oh, my gosh! robotic voice: 200 miles an hour. # hey! you're not going to believe what i can see through this window. in fact, you're going
6:26 am
to have a hard time believing this story at all. i certainly did to start with. in this chamber is a new way to launch satellites into orbit. oh, my gosh — it's becoming a blur. 400 miles an hour. and it's just that far away from us! yes. and can you, just one more time, go over what it is you're planning to do, because it's like... i still can't believe it. so, spinlaunch is capable of literally throwing satellites into space. laughs we'll cut the laughing. yep, you heard it right. david and i are currently looking at a live video feed of a prototype spinlauncher in new mexico. when the full—size one is built, it will take a small satellite, stick it inside a giant dart, load it onto a 100m—long arm, gradually spin it round and round, faster and faster, and then... ..let it go at 5,000 miles an hour.
6:27 am
don't believe me? i don't blame you! this idea sounds completely nuts. well, you know what's nuts is rockets. rockets are combustion chambers that burn cryogenic propellants at temperatures that are greater than, like, the surface of the sun. they have thousands of components that are made out of the most exotic materials known to man and they're on the verge of blowing apart at any possible minute. i think spinlaunch is quite a bit less nuts than a rocket. and, look, as the day's gone on, i've started to believe it. by getting the projectile above the atmosphere, you've done away with the need for most of your fuel and most of your weight. without air resistance, a much smaller rocket can then get the satellite up to 17,000 miles an hour and into orbit. the vehicle
6:28 am
is passively stable, so you can see it has a heavy tip in the front, fins in the back. that provides passive stability that stabilises it like a dart. so if it comes out a little bit sideways, it automatically stabilises. how many gs is this thing pulling as it goes around? so, the system pulls 10,000 gs at peak speed. you can't put people in this, can you? you cannot put people. i mean, you could put people in, but you won't get people out. to prove it works, these guys put an iphone 4 into the accelerator and got it up to 12,500 g. it still works. oop! hmm. the company says it's eventually planning for up to five launches a day and it will cost about $500,000 per launch compared to $7 million for a rocket launch. before then, testing is ongoing using the 33m arm in new mexico and a 12m arm here in long beach, california. and i've been invited to witness a test launch
6:29 am
first—hand. now, the 12m accelerator won't be launching into the air. this much smaller projectile be fired down a tube and straight into a steel plate. what happens to this after it's launched from that? so this mostly turns to dust as it hits the end of the tunnel. oh, my gosh. dramatic music now, where were we? oh, yeah! 500 miles an hour. so now you're going about as fast as a jet. the actual projectiles and the spinning arm are made of carbon fibre — pretty much the only substance that can withstand the forces involved. 700 miles an hour. and in order to spin up to nearly 1,000 miles an hour today, this entire chamber needs to be a near vacuum,
6:30 am
and that's why we can hardly hear anything. system is supersonic. if this were full of air, we'd get a sonic boom on every single revolution. you can hear a little bit. can you hear it? just a little bit. a little bit of vibration too. arming system... here we go. so he's doing the launch sequence now. ten... nine, here we go. ..seven, six, five, four, three, two, one... launching. whoa! that was it. applause yeah! decelerating system. in my mind, this has gone from nonsense to plausible in the space of a few hours. and in october last year, the first test launch in new mexico proved that the carbon—fibre dart could not only launch, but also survive a landing in which it buried itself in the desert. that was going supersonic straight towards us. yeah! and then it went round. and then it came towards us again.
6:31 am
multiple times per second. oh, wow. yeah, multiple times per second. thank you for letting go at the right point! yeah, it's all in the timing. you have to... laughs yeah. beneath the bright lights of this city that never sleeps seems to be a sensible side. it's now gambling on becoming a world—leading smart city — a safe, efficient and sustainable still kind—of—noisy oasis. las vegas isn't the obvious place to be trying to be a sustainable city. it's full of big, bright lights, you've got a huge casinos, loads of air con... why not?! why not las vegas? everything else here is big, over the top. we're the capital of entertainment around the world. why not be the world's smartest city, the city that is leading edge? right above you are these palm trees
6:32 am
that are made out of steel, but they're actually solar panels. so, sustainability is kind of in our dna. all the electricity the city of las vegas uses or consumes is actually we produce. so, we're actually, in that regard, net neutral on the ability to consume and generate electricity. there are several solar initiatives in las vegas, in and around the nevada valley, which provide that sustainability effort. it turns out that because of the issues to do with climate, water management and so on, vegas really has to be at the tip of the sphere in sustainability initiatives. ok, and it seems to mean business, starting with this pilot that's taken to the streets. all around las vegas, so many cameras and sensors have been installed, and they're collecting enormous amounts of data. right here's a lidar sensor, and that's keeping track of pedestrians and vehicles, to check that they're moving around efficiently and safely. there's even a sensor just above this street sign, which is triggered by emergency vehicles,
6:33 am
so that the lights can turn green for them as soon as it's safe to do so. carbon monoxide monitors have also been built in to monitor the flow of carbon—heavy traffic. and we know this isn't a city polluted only by day. at night—time, this is one of the busiest spots in vegas. there are delivery vehicles dropping off, minicabs picking up, so that curbside activity is being tracked by cameras and sensors, and as soon as a vehicle stops, it'll feature here on this screen. it has 2.5 minutes to do whatever it needs to do, and once that counts down to zero, an alert will be sent to a local traffic warden to come and give them a ticket. siren wails this can also help keep law and order. in this spot, video analytics are being used to see if anybody�*s climbing up on this sign or doing any other sort of vandalism. there'll be an alert triggered and then a speaker
6:34 am
will tell them that they need to get down. it's also looking at how much rubbish there is around, so if there's a fair bit to clear up, somebody will be told to come and do so. and this is just the start. next is the tracking of the huge, sprawling buildings here and how they use their energy. but at the heart of all this is data, and that data is being shared through what's called a digital twin. what we are building is, essentially, a digital brain for a city. this enables all of the sensors placed around the city — which are monitoring everything from air quality to traffic, pedestrian movements, security — to all be brought into a single system and then processed using artificial intelligence. you'll be able to go anywhere in the city virtually and see things like how many spaces are available in the car park or how many, you know, watts of electricity are being used by vehicle chargers and that sort of thing. the technologies employed in this project are 5g, artificial intelligence or ai, another one is blockchain, another one is digital twins,
6:35 am
and we're going to use the internet of things, and that means everything around us is becoming smart and connected and we are able to tap into that in a very safe and secure way. so whilst las vegas benefits from a bit of smarting up now, the hope is that this could easily be replicated in other cities. and that's it from los angeles, las vegas and london! yeah! this is the short version of this week's programme. you can see the full—length version, you can also see omar training with arsenal football club, and nick meditating. we all need a bit of that, don't we? we certainly do. that's in the full—length version, which is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye— bye.

6:50 am
is mark kermode, as usual. what do we have this week? it�*s a packed week. we have parallel mothers which is a new film by pedro almodovar. we have a new british horror movie, amulet. and sing 2, more singing animals. that�*s quite the mixture. so, parallel mothers, lots of sort of excitement about almodovar�*s latest film. and a nine—minute ovation when it premiered at venice. parallel mothers is about single mothers sharing birth together in a hospital and they give birth together and their babies go into observation togethre and when they leave hospital they swap phone numbers. and perhaps a bit more, here is a clip.
6:51 am
so, that�*s one strand of the story. in another strand, penelope cruz�*s character is trying to excavate a mass grave in her hometown from the civil war, so there are two stories. parallel mothers, parallel stories, personal and political, which sounds like a really fascinating combination. if you think of the films of guillermo del toro, like the devil�*s backbone or pan�*s labyrinth, he�*s managed to do exactly that with the spanish civil war.
6:52 am
here�*s the thing with this, it�*s beautifully designed and beautifully played and a well—written script with great performances and a wonderful score. and it sounds like a perfect match. the problem for me is it�*s not so much parallel stories, it is tangential stories. you have the spanish civil war story, which appears and gets sidelined. you have the personal story which is full of melodramatic contrivance which you are meant to buy into because, hey, it serves the story. and then we move back to the spanish civil war so now, i have to say, i�*m in the minority here. most people i have spoken to think this is great. and i am a big fan and love his films, but it felt to me like this is not one of his best works. it has some great elements in it, and it has some things in it that i will cherish, but it did feel like two films and like i said not so much parallels, but kind of tangential. how fascinating. he doesn�*t usually the politics, does he?
6:53 am
he has done political comedy before, but it�*s never really landed for me. but this is a serious work. it�*s serious, and it�*s very personal and heartfelt. i wish i liked it more than i did. which brings me rather nicely onto amulet, which is a british horror movie written and directed in her directorial debut, and the story is an ex—soldier from an unnamed european conflict finds himself destitute in london and taken in by a nun. in a horror movie, which is never a good sign and she says i can give you a house to stay in but you have to do the house up and incidentally in the house is magda, who is her mother who is in the attic and her presence is heard through screaming and banging and there is something deeply, deeply disturbing going on. the film starts with this real kind of slow burn atmosphere and then there are a couple of creepy moments with what�*s going on upstairs and there�*s a couple of pretty good jump scares and then in the third
6:54 am
act it goes absolutely full on altered state weird. and i loved it. i thought the performances were great and i thought it was very wry and funny. it�*s very grounded. i mean, it�*s about gender politics and it�*s very grounded in the gender war playing out in the house. you never know what the character�*s motives really are. brilliant soundtrack, and it�*s the first film that she has scored. fantastic soundtrack using human voices and really creepy, and i don�*t know whether you are a horror film fan. hmm, not so much. i think you would absolutely love it. you have sold it to me. romola garai, is this herfirst... this is her first directorial feature debut. she has done some shorts before and i interviewed her recently, and she is a total horror fan and she knows horror inside out and you can tell when you see this
6:55 am
it has references to possession and films that really only horror fans know, but i think anyone could watch this, if you�*re not a horror fan, it�*s not a horror film but it is. we�*ve got sing 2. sing made 600 million worldwide so now we have sing 2. so in sing... i wonder why. yeah, the film feels very much... in sing 2 you have matthew mcconaughey as buster miller who wanted to say that the editor and now he�*s put on a production that he wants to be picked up for the big time, they haven�*t impressed the talent scouts but that has not taken the wind out of his sails. here is the clip. that scout did not think we were good enough. she sounds like a jerk. totaljoke! but she is wrong, dead wrong. there is a reason our show sold out every night and her boss will love it. maybe we could just do a different show. j maybe we could just do - a different show, you know? i got this. seriously i have this idea for a space musical! -
6:56 am
truck horn blares. all right, we are rolling out. do you not want to hear about a space musical? | guys, come on! wait! music plays. listen, you guys! i have dreamt of performing in the city since i was a little kid. and besides, ijust convinced my husband to babysit for the next 24 hours and i'm not going to waste an opportunity like that. so, come on! we've got nothing to lose! reeta laughs. so the voice cast, everyone, reese witherspoon, scarlettjohansson, jennifer saunders, and bono as in u2�*s bono — as a retired rock star who he promises that he knows and says he will get him out of retirement to put on the show which he has pitched which he has not written and does not exist
6:57 am
which is a sci—fi extravaganza, out of this world, featuring this retired rock star. so ok, there�*s a lot of stuff and lots of names and lots of spectacular stuff on screen, and it�*s from illumination, the people that gave us the minions movies. the thing is, the first film had a weirdly kind of old—fashioned you know, judy garland—mickey rooney, let�*s do this show in a barn kind of feel, and that�*s what i liked about it. this feels like we had a huge success, we need to do it bigger and we need to do it louder, and we need to do it more spectacular, we need to have more stars, and as a result, it�*s kind of lost some of the oddball charm of the original. and ifound myself watching it thinking i was surprised by how much i liked the original because the idea didn�*t sound great at all because it�*s garthjennings who�*s a very interesting film—maker. but in the case of this, it�*s when you said "no wonder we have another one", it did feel like a numbers game and it�*s not to say i don�*t think
6:58 am
kids won�*t enjoy it because there�*s lots to distract you, but what there isn�*t is any of that sense of timelessness, that sense of old—fashioned charm and solid storytelling. this sounds like a weird thing to say about film which features flying elephants in space, but it doesn�*t make much sense, you know, emotional sense. it�*s just stuff and a lot of stuff. so bigger is not necessarily better. no, biggerand louder is not necessarily better. you mentioned guillermo del toro when you were talking about the almodovar film, parallel mothers, and very happily the next film. best out is nightmare alley, i reviewed this last week and i think it�*s great. this is a remake of a 19a0s film. it has a great performance by bradley cooper. again, star—studded cast, cate blanchett, rooney mara, many more. what�*s great about it is is it a modern film, it�*s a neo—noir and it�*s very dark. it�*s very stylish and the first half
6:59 am
of the film takes place in a carnival and the second half takes place in the city and it�*s no surprise to discover the carnival is the more kind and caring part of that story. on the one hand it�*s kind of paying tribute to the classic film noirs of the �*30s and �*a0s but it�*s also as with all of del toro�*s stuff, it feels very modern. and it feels, there is a piece written about it by martin scorsese about how much he loves it and i can see why because it�*s that kind of film, but i thought it was terrific and i�*m a big fan of del toro. have you seen this? i haven�*t seen it, it looks beautiful. bu don�*t let that convince you that it�*s all surface, it�*s got a lot of substance and one of the darkest endings of a film in ages. i was left at the end thinking, wow, they really went for it. you come out thinking well done. dvd streaming. censor is out on dvd.
7:00 am
this is a feature debut. brilliantly put together. it�*s a story set during the 1980s video nasties scare. i watched this thinking this is a film made for me! and it�*s about a censor who starts watching video nasties and seeing in them something more than she expected. the film is, on the one hand, a nostalgic invocation of that particular time when video just began and the video stores were filmed with all these films that were illegal but suddenly they were available, but also it�*s about the way which horror cinema and her affection is a place in which you can think for yourself and which is weirdly redeeming, and i say this as somebody — i�*m a big horrorfrom all my life — it�*s lovely to see a film about horror made by somebody who loves horror rather than a film made about horror by somebody who thinks, oh,
7:01 am
it�*s all disgusting and nasty. it�*s a smart movie. the performances are great. there�*s a really brilliant performance by michael smiley and i think that anybody could find something in this, but if you are of a certain age and if you grew up with a great nostalgia for a time when things were available in your local video story, this will hit the nail on the head. thank you very much for all of that. mark kermode as always. that does make it for this week. thank you very much for watching. —— that�*s it for this week. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines: after days of confusion, the downing street lockdown party parties report is now expected to be delivered without waiting for the police enquiry. safer roads for pedestrians, cyclists and horseriders —
7:02 am
changes to the highway code come into force today. borisjohnson will tell vladimir putin to step back, as he prepares to visit eastern europe to discourage any russian invasion of ukraine. good morning. the expectations of a nation, and ash barty is loving the pressure, as she aims to become the first australian to win an australian open title in aa years this morning. goad title in aa years this morning. good morninr. title in aa years this morning. good morning. weather _ title in aa years this morning. good morning. weather warnings are in force _ morning. weather warnings are in force across — morning. weather warnings are in force across the northern half of the united kingdom, with severe gates— the united kingdom, with severe gates in— the united kingdom, with severe gales in the forecast for today. and there's— gales in the forecast for today. and there's more very windy weather to come _ there's more very windy weather to come later— there's more very windy weather to come later in the weekend, so i will have all— come later in the weekend, so i will have all the — come later in the weekend, so i will have all the details here on breakfast. good morning, it is saturday, january 29. our main story this morning, the long—awaited report into alleged to lockdown parties in downing street is expected to be delivered to the prime minister shortly. its release had been thrown into doubt after the metropolitan police requested the report make only
7:03 am
minimal reference to the events also being investigated by the force. officers say they have now received the material they have asked for. helen catt has more. after weeks of waiting, sue gray�*s report still hasn�*t been delivered to number ten, but it will be shortly, before the metropolitan police have completed their work — which is raising questions about what may or may not be left out. it�*s understood sue grey had been keen not to have to redact or blank out large parts of it, but she will abide by the requirement not to jeaopardise the police investigation. last night the met police said they�*d received all the material requested from the cabinet office to support its investigation, and will examine it in detail without fear or favour. they�*ve asked that sue gray�*s report contains minimal reference to the events they�*re looking at, so that detectives are given the most reliable picture of what happened. some tory mps have joined the opposition in saying the full report needs to come out. i think number ten,
7:04 am
the metropolitan police and sue gray should get round a table and work out a way so that this report can be published, infull, unredacted, so that notjust mps but our constituents, more importantly, can make a judgement on what�*s happened. as for what�*s likely to happen to anyone found to have broken rules, the met says if proven, the offences would usually result in a fixed penalty notice, and that its investigative actions would be proportionate to that. it has denied delaying the report and says the timing of its release is up to the cabinet office. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. let�*s speak now to our political correspondence, lone wells. good morning to you. looking at the language being used, and to be honest about this, it is frustrating, now we are saying... pick a word, shortly and imminently? i mean, where does that get us? that
7:05 am
is rirht, i mean, where does that get us? that is right. we — i mean, where does that get us? that is right. we are _ i mean, where does that get us? that is right, we are now— i mean, where does that get us? “inst is right, we are now expecting this report shortly, as you say. what we don�*t know is exactly what that report is going to look like. number ten have said they will publish the report as they receive it, but that has now been thrown into question, because we know that sue grey will not be waiting for the police to finish their enquiry before she sends a report to number ten, and we also know that her team and the metropolitan police are in discussions to make sure that anything that she publishes won�*t cut across or jeopardise anything that she publishes won�*t cut across orjeopardise their enquiry. so from that we can assume that they may need to be some details of sue grey�*s reports that are now changed, perhaps even some missions made to it as well. i think politically leaders has big repercussions in terms of next week. if next week anything other than a full report is published, i think firstly, we can expect the opposition parties to be not particularly happy with that, saying that this is buying borisjohnson more time. then there is of course some conservative mps who are
7:06 am
waiting on sue grayposmac report to essentially give them the cover to call for the prime minister to go. they may hold off until that police enquiry is complete. but i wouldn�*t necessarily go as far as to say that this is going to make things suddenly easierfor this is going to make things suddenly easier for borisjohnson at the moment, because there are some even within his own party, some conservative mps, who also feel that the way this has been handled, the whole process, and now the fact that we may not even see the full report as we were expecting next week, has eroded trust both in the political system, but also indian —— the accountability of the people who need it as well.— accountability of the people who need it as well. ione wells, thank ou ve need it as well. ione wells, thank you very much- — changes to the highway code come in today, aimed at boosting safety for vulnerable users like pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. there are concerns that not all drivers are aware of the new rules, as our transport corresponding katy austin reports. if you�*re out and about on the roads from today, there are some major updates you need to be aware of. updates to the highway code. one example is, if you�*re driving and want to turn at a junction,
7:07 am
you should give way to any pedestrians waiting to cross, as well as those already crossing, even if there�*s traffic waiting behind you. other updates include that cyclists going straight ahead atjunctions have priority over traffic wanting to turn, and in some situations such as slow traffic, they�*re advised to ride in the centre of a lane to be clearly visible. cyclists are reminded they can ride two abreast, which can be safer, for example, in large groups, and drivers are told to leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking. and what about horse riders? drivers and motorcyclists are advised to leave two metres when overtaking them, and pass at less than ten miles per hour. paula thinks many don�*t realise the risks. there have been some major incidents. the main causes, people are just driving too close to us. we�*ve had a glazier�*s van that hit a horse, took the stirrup from the horse, and dragged the horse
7:08 am
backwards with the rider on it. i�*ve been hit as well, it was a delivery van that came around the corner and hit my leg when he was driving past. the highway code is amazing, it�*s a really good start, we now need to keep the momentum going. the government is planning an awareness campaign about the updates. critics say there hasn�*t been enough advance publicity, which could lead to confusion. a significant change is setting out a so—called "hierarchy" of road users, so quicker or heavier modes of travel have the greatest responsibility to reduce the threat they could pose. this video was taken by cyclist phil in sheffield, the second serious crash he�*s had involving a vehicle. every single journey, i would say, i worry about whether it�*s going to be my last day on earth. he welcomes the hierarchy. it helps make people aware of those who are more vulnerable than them on the roads, and i think that�*s a good thing. never go alongside a truck
7:09 am
round a roundabout, stay behind. but this haulage firm fears it will make lorry driving a less attractive job, and the boss says his industry has strict safety rules. they�*re strongly controlled, and there�*s big penalties for not complying with those things. the emphasis should be on making people that are at risk think about themselves more, rather than passing the burden of that risk to someone else. motoring groups say it�*s vital people take time to understand updates which are aimed at driving safer roads for everyone. katy austin, bbc news. downing street has announced plans for the prime minister to travel to eastern europe next week, as the uk steps up diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis between russia and ukraine. borisjohnson�*s also expected to speak on the phone with russian president vladimir putin, whose forces have been gathering at the border with ukraine in recent weeks. simonjones has this report. preparing for a possible war.
7:10 am
britain is already bolstering ukraine�*s defences. ukrainian soldiers are being trained to use anti—tank missiles provided by the uk. borisjohnson says he�*s determined to do all he can to avoid bloodshed. he�*ll visit the region in the coming days, and he�*ll call president putin with the message russia needs to "step back" and engage diplomatically. at a meeting here at the ministry of defence, top officials outlined a range of options to counter what�*s being described as growing russian aggression in the region. one option would see more british troops sent to reinforce nato defences. that�*s something borisjohnson will consider over the weekend. the us is also sending equipment to the ukraine, and some soldiers will also be moved to eastern europe. the us says the russian troop build—up on ukraine�*s border is the largest since the cold war. given the type of forces
7:11 am
that are arrayed — the ground manoeuvre forces, the artillery, the ballistic missiles, the air forces, all of it packaged together — if that was unleashed on ukraine, it would be significant, it would be horrific, it would be terrible. and it�*s not necessary, and we think a diplomatic outcome is the way to go here. but russian training exercises continue. president putin reportedly told the french president that he had no plans for an offensive, but he said the us and nato had failed to address russia�*s main demands: for nato forces to withdraw from eastern europe. borisjohnson, though, is warning that if diplomacy fails, thousands of lives could be lost. simon jones, bbc news. canadian singer—songwriter joni mitchell hasjoined neil young in calling for her music to be taken off spotify. the pair are protesting against the us podcasterjoe rogan, who they accuse of spreading covid vaccine disinformation. joe rogan, who has an exclusive deal
7:12 am
with spotify, denies that claim. spotify says it wants to balance safety for listeners with freedom for creators. coming up to 7:12 a.m., ben can painta picture. what coming up to 7:12 a.m., ben can paint a picture. what is that picture telling us? it is telling us that we have turbulence, windy, even stormy weather on the way, especially across the northern half of the uk. severe gales in the forecast for today. sunshine and showers pretty much covers the weather, but it is going to be turning colder through the day, after what is a very mild start. the culprit for that stormy weather is this little hook of cloud you can see developing here on the earlier satellite picture. this is an area of low pressure that has been named, actually, by the danish weather service, for impact it is going to have in denmark later in the weekend. here, all these white
7:13 am
lines on the chart and all these isobars squeezing together, that shows they will be some very strong winds. a met office amber wanted to parts of eastern scotland and north—eastern england, widely in this area gusts of up to 60—70 miles an hour, 80 mph in the most exposed spots. in the areas covered by this yellow warning, most of the north of the uk, we will see similar wind strengths, 50—70 mph or a little more. so, severe gales and without a abound of rain sinking south. this is moving quite quickly south, actually. ahead of it, a lot of cloud, a bit of a damp and drizzly but mild start behind the rain band, welcome the sun will come out, we will see brighter skies but also some showers. especially for coasts exposed to dust north—westerly wind. some of the showers wintry over high ground in the north, and these are the afternoon temperatures, 6— 13 degrees, actually turning colder as the day wears on. now, through this evening and tonight, things will come down. the winds will ease, the skies were clear. that�*ll allow a few folk patches to development will
7:14 am
also allow temperatures to drop. those other values in the town and city centres, out in the countryside, temperatures could well drop low freezing, so a touch of frost tomorrow. it is quite a calm and quiet start to sunday. much of england and wales will hold onto dry weather and some sunshine, however, not so the ireland and scotland. wardle will thicken and we will see outbreaks of rain. snow at a high ground in scotland, and the winds will start to pick up once again. they windy started a weekend, a windy and to the weekend. temperatures 5— 10 degrees, this area of low pressure here, this next flow is going to cross the north of the uk during sunday night into the first part of monday, but will bring another spell of gales across northern areas, and through the week ahead, quite a chilly start, it will turn very mild for a time around the middle of the week and then colder again later, with some rain at times. quite a mixed weather picture, but windy for the weekend. back to you two. thank you, ben.

7:23 am
don�*t think it is difficult to see who is going to struggle now in the coming months with this cost—of—living crisis yet the government says it is sticking to its plans, this rise in national insurance, for example, and saying it is going to put efforts yeah it has put efforts in place to ease the problems. the likelihood is it isn�*t enough. it problems. the likelihood is it isn't enourh. ., �* , ., ., enough. it won't be enough for thousands _ enough. it won't be enough for thousands and _ enough. it won't be enough for thousands and thousands of i enough. it won't be enough for- thousands and thousands of people across this country stop there are a series of crunches coming. as we have heard already in the prices in the shops have gone up and they are about to go up much higher in april and then that is going to coincide almost exactly with when this big tax rises coming in which will hit every working family in the country and that is a very, very difficult situation for the prime minister to find himself in because it is very easy for opposition mps and mps in his own party to build the pressure on him to not go ahead with that tax and i think he will find it very

7:44 am
from the met office across north—eastern england and eastern scotland. 80 mph in the most exposed spots. throughout this yellow warning area across much of the north of the uk, we will see similar wind gust strengths, up to 70 or maybe 80 miles an hour in some places. very windy to start the day across northern areas. the bad rain sinking south through the day. a lot of that, doubt unjustly to start off, behind the weakening band of rain, the sun will emerge, we will see blue skies, one or two showers in of that north—westerly wind, some of which would be wintry or high ground in the north. temperatures today coming down as the day wears on between six and 13 degrees through the middle of the afternoon. tonight, we lose that band of cloud from the south, the skies were clear, the winds will ease, it is going to turn karma, largely clear and starry skies overhead, that will allow for patches to form. it will also allow for some of us a touch of frost. these temperatures are for

7:49 am
a bit of art for you. we will be back with headlines. time now for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch, with me samira ahmed. were those hours and days looking forward to sue gray's report to be published time well spent for journalists? and why is ofcom now investigating this bbc report on an alleged anti—semitic incident after a complaint was partially upheld? watching and waiting were the hallmarks of this week in news, as day after day, the publication of sue gray's report into lockdown gatherings in westminster failed to appear. the prime minister did appear in front of the cameras on monday but he didn't have much to say about the issue dominating the minds ofjournalists. can you guarantee that no more embarrassing allegations about alleged breaches of lockdown
7:50 am
within downing street will come out before that report is published? what i can guarantee is that this government is focused 100% on dealing with the big problems that we have. but on the sue gray report... crosstalk. do you think change is now inevitable in downing street after that report has come out, specifically on the sue gray report? i know that, you know, i perfectly understand that people want to ask questions about that. i think you've got to wait for that to come out but what i will say, this government is focused on the stuff that i think people want us to focus on. magda walter was watching that and immediately got in touch with us to say...
7:51 am
there were also strong feelings on the opposite side of the political divide following headlines like that night's news at ten. tonight at ten, downing street admits that staff gathered inside during the first lockdown to wish borisjohnson a happy birthday. in the cabinet room at number 10, it's claimed up to 30 people were present at a time when indoor gatherings of more than two people were banned. # happy birthday to you.# an s williams e—mailed. an anonymous caller to our phone line on wednesday was clear in her views. i am absolutely disgusted
7:52 am
with the bbc news. all that could be happening with russia and ukraine and what do you put first in the headlines? all about boris johnson. parties, parties, parties, i'm sick of it. all the while, plenty of airtime was being spent just waiting for you know what. well, we're still not sure when we're going to see the famous report by sue gray because it hasn't actually, we understand, been handed in to number 10 downing street. once it is, it is going to take a bit of time for the prime minister to absorb undigested and his officials, and for it then to be released, so whether we're going to get it this afternoon or tonight or maybe tomorrow, we're still not sure. perhaps our political correspondent nick eardley, who's at westminster, can shed a bit of light on that. although, i'm afraid i doubt it. but, nick. i wish i could, ben, i wish i could tell you the time it's coming, but we just
7:53 am
don't know at the moment. the reaction of ann brooks. well, we still hope to speak to someone from the bbc�*s political unit to get answers to some of those questions. safe to say, the gray report will still be on the agenda next week. now, for some weeks, there have been vociferous complaints about how the bbc reported an alleged anti—semitic incident in london at the end of november. the bbc news website carried an article on the subject and it also featured on bbc london's early evening news bulletin. what we know that this
7:54 am
incident is that it took place on monday evening. round about 30 to 1:0 jewish teenagers were on a bus that had been hired to take them into the centre of town to celebrate the festival of hanukkah, and then this happened. music plays. muffled voices. whoa, whoa! and the footage shows the mob spitting, hurling abuse, and even appearing to perform nazi salutes. well, the metropolitan police are treating this as an alleged hate crime. i should say, though, that we at bbc london did watch this footage and you can hear some racial slurs about muslim people, which does come from the bus. it's not clear at the moment, for the person that said that, what role that may have played in this incident. that mention of an anti—muslim slur infuriated some members of the situation community, with marie van der zyl from the board of deputies of britishjews writing to the bbc�*s director general and chairman in these terms.
7:55 am
the matter was referred to the bbc�*s executive complaints unit, which on wednesday announced it had partially upheld the complaint, finding that report should have recognised there was genuine doubt over whether a racist slur was heard from the bus. the bbc issued this statement.
7:56 am
the matter is now being investigated by the regulator ofcom but so far many of those who raised the complaints are far from satisfied. the campaign against anti—semitism had this reaction. do let us know your thoughts
7:57 am
on any of the subjects we're covering in this programme. and stay watching for details of how to contact us. and if one week you miss us for any reason, remember that newswatch is shown on the news channel on friday nights at 8:45pm and for night owls 3:45am, as well as on bbc one on saturdays at 7:45am, as part of breakfast. we are also on the iplayer. now, bbc one's weekly debate programme question time aims to provide a spectrum of opinions, both on its panel and in the audience. sometimes the result is a robust, even rowdy exchange of views, which some viewers have told us they think can provide more heat than light. so, it raised some eyebrows last week when the programme's presenter fiona bruce tweeted this invitation to share their views to those who've declined the covid vaccine. mr apple posted this comment.
7:58 am
we issued an invitation of our own to those in charge of question time to come and discuss this. they declined and gave us this statement. finally, two music stories from the end of last week, which elicited similar complaints. first, there was the news that the singer adele
7:59 am
was postponing her residency at las vegas 21: hours before the opening night. half my crew, half my team are down with covid, they still are. and it has been impossible to finish the show. and i can't give you what i have right now. and i'm gutted. mary o'brien wondered, why did bbc news think that reporting on adele cancelling shows in america is an important topic? on the same day, the death was announced at another singer, meatloaf. the us rock star meat loaf has died at the age of 7a. he sold more than 100 million albums in a career that spanned six decades. bat out of hell, which was released in 1977, remains one of the bestselling albums of all time.
8:00 am
here's keith gibson with a familiar refrain. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see, read, or here on bbc news, on tv, radio, and social media... that's all from us, we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today:
8:01 am
after days of confusion the downing street "lockdown parties" report is now expected to be delivered before the police inquiry ends. safer roads for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders changes to the highway code come into force today. boris johnson will tell vladimir putin to "step back", as he prepares to visit eastern europe to discourage any russian invasion of ukraine. ash barty is hoping to become the first australian to win an australian open singles title in 41! years. 80 years of desert island discs we take a look back at the famous faces who have been cast away. this weather warnings and force across the northern half of the uk
8:02 am
with severe gales in the forecast today, and more very windy weather today, and more very windy weather to come later in the weekend. i will have all the details here on breakfast. it's saturday the 29th of january. the long awaited report into alleged lockdown parties in downing street is expected to be delivered to the prime minister imminently. its release had been thrown into doubt after the metropolitan police requested the report make only "minimal reference" to the events also being investigated by the force. officers say they've now received the material they've asked for. our political correspondent helen catt reports. after weeks of waiting, sue gray's report still hasn't been delivered to number ten, but it will be shortly, before the metropolitan police have completed their work — which is raising questions about what may or may not be left out. it's understood sue grey had been keen not to have to redact or blank out large parts of it,
8:03 am
but she will abide by the requirement not to jeaopardise the police investigation. last night the met police said they'd received all the material requested from the cabinet office to support its investigation, and will examine it in detail without fear or favour. they've asked that sue gray's report contains minimal reference to the events they're looking at, so that detectives are given the most reliable picture of what happened. some tory mps have joined the opposition in saying the full report needs to come out. i think number ten, the metropolitan police and sue gray should get round a table and work out a way so that this report can be published, infull, unredacted, so that notjust mps but our constituents, more importantly, can make a judgment on what's happened. as for what's likely to happen to anyone found to have broken rules, the met says if proven, the offences would usually result in a fixed penalty notice, and that its investigative actions would be proportionate to that. it has denied delaying the report and says the timing of its release

8:07 am
they're advised to ride in the centre of a lane to be clearly visible. cyclists are reminded they can ride two abreast, which can be safer, for example, in large groups, and drivers are told to leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking. and what about horse riders? drivers and motorcyclists are advised to leave two metres when overtaking them, and pass at less than ten miles per hour. paula thinks many don't realise the risks. there have been some major incidents. the main causes, people are just driving too close to us. we've had a glazier�*s van that hit a horse, took the stirrup from the horse, and dragged the horse backwards with the rider on it. i've been hit as well, it was a delivery van that came around the corner and hit my leg when he was driving past. the highway code is amazing, it's a really good start, we now need to keep the momentum going. the government is planning an awareness campaign about the updates. critics say there hasn't been enough advance publicity, which could lead to confusion.
8:08 am
a significant change is setting out a so—called "hierarchy" of road users, so quicker or heavier modes of travel have the greatest responsibility to reduce the threat they could pose. this video was taken by cyclist phil in sheffield, the second serious crash he's had involving a vehicle. every single journey, i would say, i worry about whether it's going to be my last day on earth. he welcomes the hierarchy. it helps make people aware of those who are more vulnerable than them on the roads, and i think that's a good thing. but this haulage firm fears it will make lorry driving a less attractive job, and the boss says his industry has strict safety rules. they're strongly controlled, and there's big penalties for not complying with those things. the emphasis should be on making people that are at risk think about themselves more, rather than passing the burden of that risk to someone else.
8:09 am
motoring groups say it's vital people take time to understand updates which are aimed at driving safer roads for everyone. katy austin, bbc news. downing street has announced plans for the prime minister to travel to eastern europe next week as the uk steps up diplomatic efforts to help resolve the crisis between russia and ukraine. borisjohnson is also expected to have a phone call with the russian president, vladimir putin, whose forces have been gathering at the border with ukraine in recent weeks. simonjones has this report. preparing for a possible war. britain is already bolstering ukraine's defences. ukrainian soldiers are being trained to use anti—tank missiles provided by the uk. borisjohnson says he's determined to do all he can to avoid bloodshed. he'll visit the region in the coming days, and he'll call president putin with the message russia needs to "step back" and engage diplomatically.
8:10 am
at a meeting here at the ministry of defence, top officials outlined a range of options to counter what's being described as growing russian aggression in the region. one option would see more british troops sent to reinforce nato defences. that's something borisjohnson will consider over the weekend. the us, too, is sending equipment to ukraine, and some soldiers will shortly be moved to eastern europe. the us says the russian troop build—up on ukraine's border is the largest since the cold war. given the type of forces that are arrayed — the ground manoeuvre forces, the artillery, the ballistic missiles, the air forces, all of it packaged together — if that was unleashed on ukraine, it would be significant, it would be horrific, it would be terrible. and it's not necessary, and we think a diplomatic outcome is the way to go here. but russian training exercises continue. president putin reportedly told
8:11 am
the french president that he had no plans for an offensive, but he said the us and nato had failed to address russia's main demands: for nato forces to withdraw from eastern europe. borisjohnson, though, is warning that if diplomacy fails, thousands of lives could be lost. simon jones, bbc news. canadian singer songwriterjoni mitchell hasjoined neil young in calling for her music to be taken off spotify. the pair are protesting against the us podcasterjoe rogan who they accuse of spreading covid vaccine disinformation. joe rogan, who has an exclusive deal with the streaming service, denies that claim. spotify says it wants to balance safety for listeners with freedom for creators. this week, the name sue gray has rarely been out of the headlines. she, of course, is the senior civil servant whose report into alleged lockdown parties at

8:17 am
mention in sue gray's a report of the party is being investigated by the party is being investigated by the met so the case isn't prejudiced. if you can, using your knowledge, what does that mean? t knowledge, what does that mean? i think the prejudice that they're talking here isn't the idea of prejudicing a jury at a trial because they will not be a jury and there probably won't be any trials. what the police are intending to do if they find lockdown regulations were breached is to issue fixed penalty notices. i think the prejudice they're talking about here is spoiling the investigation, really, to what they don't want to happen when they're interviewing people or investigating the allegations as for other people, people to tell their witnesses are suspect what other people have said. ok, i'm trying to piece my way through that. is this normal practice? i am thinking when police
8:18 am
investigate things they often use information from other places, much of which will it be in the public domain. why is this different? the olice will domain. why is this different? tt9 police will use whatever information they have but when police interview suspects they like to disclose exactly what it is, what they choose to disclose, they may want to keep certain information back. so people cannot trim their stories in order to fit in with what they know other people have been saying. this to fit in with what they know other people have been saying. this was a reauest people have been saying. this was a request from — people have been saying. this was a request from the _ people have been saying. this was a request from the met _ people have been saying. this was a request from the met police - people have been saying. this was a request from the met police to - people have been saying. this was a request from the met police to the l request from the met police to the sue gray inquiry. am i right in thinking, she could have said, what i'm going to do is print everything and you can do whatever you wish to do. , , . :, ., ., and you can do whatever you wish to do. , , . :, ., :, , do. yes, she could have done. it is a request — do. yes, she could have done. it is a request and _ do. yes, she could have done. it is a request and the _ do. yes, she could have done. it is a request and the police _ do. yes, she could have done. it is a request and the police have - do. yes, she could have done. it is a request and the police have no i a request and the police have no power to force sue gray to change her inquiry are adapted inquiry. if

8:20 am
parking fines for two reasons. firstly some of the fines potentially payable are in the thousands of pounds. some are very low, in the low hundreds but some are much greater than that, that's quite a significant sum of money for some people. secondly, people's reputations, potentially, and livelihoods are on the line, the whole country is looking at the police inquiry and the sue gray inquiry and one can understand the police would want to take this very seriously indeed. they have appointed a senior officer to run the investigation and they want to do it properly. and whilst i am certainly not here to defend the police's public relations, i think one has got to be a little bit careful because the police were criticised at one stage for not doing anything and now it seems they have been criticised by some people for trying to do it properly. i

8:22 am
they are asking people to give the response in writing or whether they will then be be invited to a police station for a recorded interview under caution. that clearly equates to time, a process that will take time. t could take a very long time, it depends obviously how many police officers are deployed for this investigation. there is a lot of potential witnesses and potential parties or gatherings being investigated. if they want to do it properly, it will take a lot of police man—hours. properly, it will take a lot of police man-hours.— properly, it will take a lot of olice man-hours. . , , police man-hours. really interesting talkinu police man-hours. really interesting talkin: to police man-hours. really interesting talking to you- _ police man-hours. really interesting talking to you. thank _ police man-hours. really interesting talking to you. thank you _ police man-hours. really interesting talking to you. thank you so - police man-hours. really interesting talking to you. thank you so much i talking to you. thank you so much for your time this morning. matthew scott, a criminal barrister, taking us through some of the legal issues in relation to the met inquiry and the soux great report which we are told is due to be released in some form imminently.
8:23 am
it it's a very mild start but i don't think that's the main aspect of the forecast today, some really strong winds in places, severe gales across the northern half of that uk sunshine and showers and after that i'll start it will turn colder as the day goes on. brisk winds courtesy of this area of cloud on our earlier satellite picture, low pressure that has been named by the danish weather service for effect may have in denmark later in the weekend, it has been named storm malik. and we are going to have strong winds indeed. this amber weather warning, 50—60 miles per gost, 80 mph in the most exposed spots, right across this broader yellow area we can expect similar
8:24 am
wind gusts. very strong winds, severe gales and places, outbreaks of rain pushing southwards, this band of rain working through england and wales throughout the day with some cloud ahead of it. behind our weather front the skies will brighten, sunshine, showers on north—westerly winds, some will be wintry over a high ground and temperatures coming down through the afternoon. continuing to fall into the evening, winds also falling light. things are turning quite calm for a time through the early hours of sunday with clear skies overhead, there could be some fog patches and a touch of frost, towns and cities hovering around freezing, some countries it spots easily below. a calm and quiet start to sunday morning, for england and wales will hold onto dry weather, although cloud will increase from the west.
8:25 am
northern ireland and scotland, another weather system pushes in, bringing outbreaks of rain, snow over high ground in scotland, temperatures of 5—10 c and also with this weather system and other bouts of very strong winds, gales, possibly severe once again across the northern uk through sunday and into first part of monday. windy start today the weekend and when the end, what about the week ahead? it's a mixed weather story, starting off chilly with one or two showers, turning milder through tuesday and wednesday, really quite mild for the time of year. and cooling off by the end of the week with some outbreaks of rain. it is there is a brisk winds for this weekend that could cause some disruption across the northern half of the uk. back to you. thank you very much. a british bride's wedding gown worn
8:26 am
84 years ago has been discovered in a skip, half way across the world in australia.
8:27 am
the gloves that her husband wore, dried roses, little wax buds from their wedding cake, then at the very bottom came the dress, this beautiful, like, liquid, ithink it's called liquid silk. the seller told claire her auntie had rescued the box from a rubbish skip in the city of perth. she said the children or grandchildren, she wasn't quite sure, had been quite ruthless in clearing out a house at a deceased estate. how could anyone do that? this was a treasure box. you know, a self—contained treasure box. rather than write a diary, she's kept a visual and tactile diary of that day and the events leading up to it. it is of historical value. so, how did the dress get from plymouth to perth? fred and gertrude never had children, and when they died
8:28 am
the box and its contents were handed down through the extended family, finally being sent to a distant relative in australia. why it ended up in the rubbish isn't clear. getrude's dress and her box of memories now have pride of place in an exhibition of bridal gowns in castlemaine, victoria. this lady preserved it for all those years. i to see it back out of the dumpster and looking beautiful is i think- a great end to the story. ultimately, bride to be claire didn't wear the dress on her big day, but she did carry gertrude's mother—of—pearl hair clip in her purse. in my heart i sort of asked gertrude, "is it ok if i keep this for my wedding?" and i felt like it was a yes. i'm planning to send that to be, in the collection, so it can be reunited. stunningly beautiful, elegant dress.
8:29 am
remarkably well preserved. stunning. a little music for you now, what does this make you think of? it puts you on a beach, doesn't it? relaxing. what would you do on a desert i link? of course bbc radio 4's desert i link? of course bbc radio it's at desert island discs is the music we are listening to and it is now 80 years since the show began. in fact, the show is 80 years old today and to mark the occasion we've a very special look back at some of the most memorable episodes. stay with us that's just before nine o clock. here on breakfast, we've been following the story of paralympic swimmer will perry who has spoken publically about the abuse he's received because of his dwarfism. his honestly has prompted a huge response, and this week he met the prime minister to discuss his experience. james burridge has the story.
8:30 am
out of the pool and into the classroom for will perry, educating this group of teenagers about disability and its impact. i'm here today because i really want to educate the younger generation about my campaign and what i'm fighting so strongly for. i've come to talk about the abuse of dwarfism, my experience with the paralympics, and how how we all feel generally as people with dwarfism. and i love to also get their own mindset on what it's like when they see someone wandering around with dwarfism, their opinions on bullying, abuse. two weeks ago, will spoke to us about the abuse he continues to receive, and his story went viral. so, how do these students feel such cruelty can be stopped? i think it's just the hive mentality that a lot of teenagers have, they want to impress their friends and they want to be a part of the group, and i think once
8:31 am
we sort of eliminate that and tell people that it's not cool and it's not going to impress people if you discriminate against people, then i think that's how we can eliminate this. if we all, like, put our mind to it and if we all think it'sjust not right, we shouldn't be doing it, it should be pretty easy. but for others, i think theyjust think they're better than other people and that i think that will be hard for them to get their head around it. when will was a teenager, he was repeatedly bullied at school. his family want to make sure other children with disabilities don't suffer similar hurt. i always thought that, well, bullying is easy to deal with, he needs school, just needs to sort it out, but i think it's more complicated than that. it definitely leaves you feeling powerless. you can deal with practicalities, you can make things better yourself, you can make things work for you as a family, but when something is out of your control like that and it's making him miserable, that's probably the hardest. but if children can grow up knowing what it is, why people are small, like will, understand that actually
8:32 am
it's a medical condition and it causes medical problems too. it's notjust about being small. but there is hope. this week, will held a meeting with the prime minister and the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, who have backed his campaign. in a statement on twitter, borisjohnson said: he really sat down, looked me in the eye and was genuinely saddened by what i had to say, and he offered me his full unconditional support, which is more than i can have ever ask, which means it reaches far more people than it could ever have done. so, i'm flattered, i'm blown over. will has been inundated with support these past few weeks, and he wants to organise more school visits like this to spread his message. james burridge, bbc news.

9:02 am
its release had been thrown into doubt after the metropolitan police requested the report make only "minimal reference" to the events also being investigated by the force. officers say they've now received the material they've asked for. our political correspondent helen catt reports. after weeks of waiting, sue gray's report still hasn't been delivered to number ten, but it will be shortly, before the metropolitan police have completed their work — which is raising questions about what may or may not be left out. it's understood sue grey had been keen not to have to redact or blank out large parts of it, but she will abide by the requirement not to jeaopardise the police investigation. last night the met police said they'd received all the material requested from the cabinet office to support its investigation, and will examine it in detail without fear or favour. they've asked that sue gray's report contains minimal reference to the events they're looking at, so that detectives are given the most reliable picture of what happened. some tory mps have joined
9:03 am
the opposition in saying the full report needs to come out. i think number ten, the metropolitan police and sue gray should get round a table and work out a way so that this report can be published, in full, unredacted, so that notjust mps but our constituents, more importantly, can make a judgment on what's happened. as for what's likely to happen to anyone found to have broken rules, the met says if proven, the offences would usually result in a fixed penalty notice, and that its investigative actions would be proportionate to that. it has denied delaying the report and says the timing of its release is up to the cabinet office. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. let's speak to our political correspondent, lone wells. good correspondent, lone wells. morning. let me get tt straight good morning. let me get this straight in my head, we know the report or told it will be published in full. however, the fullness of the report, that is now being speculated about.— the report, that is now being speculated about. that's right.

9:05 am
certainly planning to say that this essentially will by the prime minister more time and they will demand seeing that report in full at some stage. also implications for the tory party. there were some tory mps who were waiting for this sue gray report to essentially give them cover to call for the prime minister to go on some of them may be waiting longer until the police inquiry has finished before they come out to make a final decision. having said that, i don't think this necessarily means borisjohnson is out of the woods. there are a number of tory mps also saying the weight this has been handled and the fact that may not be the full report available in the first instance, means people's trust in the political system and leadership at the top of the party is being eroded which is still a concern in the minds of many conservative mps.—

concern in the minds of many conservative mps. thank you for that. cycling campaign groups have welcomed the changes although there is some worried that drivers are not aware of the challenges to changes. downing street has announced plans for the prime minister to travel to eastern europe next week as the uk steps up diplomatic efforts to help resolve the crisis between russia and ukraine. borisjohnson is also expected to have a phone call with the russian president, vladimir putin, whose forces have been gathering at the border with ukraine in recent weeks. simonjones has this report. preparing for a possible war. britain is already bolstering ukraine's defences. ukrainian soldiers are being trained to use anti—tank missiles provided by the uk. borisjohnson says he's determined to do all he can to avoid bloodshed.
9:07 am
he'll visit the region in the coming days, and he'll call president putin with the message russia needs to "step back" and engage diplomatically. at a meeting here at the ministry of defence, top officials outlined a range of options to counter what's being described as growing russian aggression in the region. one option would see more british troops sent to reinforce nato defences. that's something borisjohnson will consider over the weekend. the us, too, is sending equipment to ukraine, and some soldiers will shortly be moved to eastern europe. the us says the russian troop build—up on ukraine's border is the largest since the cold war. given the type of forces that are arrayed — the ground manoeuvre forces, the artillery, the ballistic missiles, the air forces, all of it packaged together — if that was unleashed on ukraine, it would be significant, it would be horrific, it would be terrible. and it's not necessary, and we think a diplomatic outcome is the way to go here. but russian training
9:08 am
exercises continue. president putin reportedly told the french president that he had no plans for an offensive, but he said the us and nato had failed to address russia's main demands: for nato forces to withdraw from eastern europe. borisjohnson, though, is warning that if diplomacy fails, thousands of lives could be lost. simon jones, bbc news. canadian singer songwriter joni mitchell hasjoined neil young in calling for her music to be taken off spotify. the pair are protesting against the us podcasterjoe rogan who they accuse of spreading covid vaccine disinformation. joe rogan, who has an exclusive deal with the streaming service, denies that claim. spotify says it wants to balance safety for listeners with freedom for creators. it is eight minutes past nine, ben

scientists believe they've made a breakthrough in why people living with sue gray long covid traditional have not identified the problem —— living with long covid. our health correspondent explains. flo van diemen van thor was never one forjust sitting down inside, but she says long covid has been a horror show. it was not just a breathlessness, that was really hard. it was muscle weakness, so legs like jelly and just thinking if i try to go down the stairs they might not carry me. and i found that really hard to live with on a mental level. i found that really distressing. but this is the ct scan of flo's lungs and like so many long covid patients, everything looks normal and healthy. i thought, well, the technology is letting us down! laughs. these are my lungs, i've had them all my life. i know there's something wrong with them. there is still so much we don't
9:13 am
know about long covid. flo is taking part in a study in oxford. breathe in, and out. researchers think they're the first in the world to be able to show abnormalities in the lungs of long covid patients. flow and the other volunteers have an mri scan as they suck in xenon gas. it behaves like oxygen and should cross from their lungs into the bloodstream. the numbers are small so far — 36 patients, 11 who didn't need hospital care when they were first infected but went on to get long covid. it's a very exciting and very encouraging first step. so what we have here is one of the patients from our trial, and the ct scan is entirely normal. they've then gone on and had a xenon gas mri, and xenon behaves the same as oxygen, and you can see here — this is the xenon getting through normally into the bloodstream from their lungs and the blacker areas are where the xenon gas or oxygen would struggle to get through. and this is what it
9:14 am
should look like? and this scan over here is a normal volunteer and it should be as clear as that. it's early days for this study and there are still lots of questions including exactly what is causing these abnormal lung scans. in the meantime there aren't many of these specially adapted mri scanners across the country. if this research proves they're worthwhile, it would take some serious investment and several months to scale them up across the nhs. the team is recruiting more volunteers through long covid clinics but says help is out there right now. at the moment it is frustrating having people come into the clinic and not be able to explain to them exactly why it is that they are breathless, and i really do hope this research will shed more light on that. i think what we are able to do is help people with their breathlessness, and there are strategies that we're putting in place that really are making a difference.
9:15 am
and breathe out. lovely, really good, really good. flo says this was the turning point for her — learning breathing techniques with a respiratory physiotherapist. try and slow... it might take her longer to recover after exercise now, but she's moved up a level in karate. she's not back to normal yet but thinks she will get there. catherine burns, bbc news. let's get more now on that story and all of this week's latest covid news. we're joined by our regular saturday panel virologist, dr chris smith and professor of public health, linda bauld. good morning to both of you. chris, for us _ good morning to both of you. chris, for us watching that film, the moment— for us watching that film, the moment when you see at those scans, the pictures— moment when you see at those scans, the pictures of the lungs and what information the scientists are learning. _ information the scientists are learning, it is really interesting and possibly something of a breakthrough. we _ breakthrough. we don't agree or have any consensus
9:16 am
as to what long covid really is, there is no test or a unifying diagnosis and probably what it is as an umbrella term which is embracing an umbrella term which is embracing a whole constellation of disorders that are united by a common prior coronavirus infection and therefore long covid probably means different things to different people. certainly there will be a group of people, because this is a respiratory infection, for whom this is chiefly targeting their lungs and the manifestations and aftermaths of respiratory ones but other people may have metabolic or immune or neurological manifestations in the aftermaths are what we need to do at this stage is champion and welcome research like this and also notjust focus exclusively on one sector of the body. what we understand about this is it almost certainly is affecting every part of the body in affecting every part of the body in a range of ways for a range of
9:17 am
people and therefore with a range of different consequences. yes, it is to be welcomed but it is one small part of a bigger picture that we're onlyjust beginning to get the measure of. unsurprisingly, we're barely two years into this. good linda. we have a question, when will we know if omicron could lead to a large number of cases of long covid? it is relatively new, lots of people with long covid suffering from delta from before. :. long covid suffering from delta from before. :, :, :, , :, a before. thanks for that question. as chris said, before. thanks for that question. as chris said. we _ before. thanks for that question. as chris said, we don't _ before. thanks for that question. as chris said, we don't know— before. thanks for that question. as chris said, we don't know lots - before. thanks for that question. as chris said, we don't know lots aboutt chris said, we don't know lots about lon- chris said, we don't know lots about long covid _ chris said, we don't know lots about long covid but we have a definition set by _ long covid but we have a definition set by the — long covid but we have a definition set by the who which indicates people — set by the who which indicates people experiencing symptoms beyond three months, that's the formal case definition _ three months, that's the formal case definition. the symptoms are wide—ranging. will we know how many cases— wide—ranging. will we know how many cases of— wide—ranging. will we know how many cases of long covid omicron 0cause? we do _ cases of long covid omicron 0cause? we do not _ cases of long covid omicron 0cause?

9:21 am
occur either because the virus changes in a way of putting it beyond the reach of the immune response or the immune response changes, as in, dwindles because it is costly to the body to keep a strong immune response to things you meet in frequently so the body tends to turn down the resources inputs towards certain parts of our immune response. or it could be a combination of both. coronaviruses don't produce really long—term robust immunity. at least two acute infection. what you probably get is quite good immunity in that long to severe disease and i think that is why what we're seeing is all that we've got cases we are seeing fewer consequences now because people as a population are building up an underlying level of protection against severe disease so although you become susceptible and vulnerable to infection again, you do not get the big consequences. this is probably occurring because the big consequences tend to happen when you have a very severe
9:22 am
infection that gets into the deep reaches of your lungs, for instance. that is much less likely to happen with even a low level of immunity, you need a much higher level to stop the virus getting into it, say, your nose and throat where it produces trivial symptoms but are still infectious. i think that's probably at the heart of it. that leads into this question who says, i am triple jab and wondering how long the vaccine the last because what you are saying is this something that needs to be of concern if that is immunity in that community? at the moment we don't know. we don't know if this current boost that will be the last one that we need because it may be if enough people who are sufficiently vulnerable with enough protection in the future when the incident late run into this new coronavirus they will have enough on the line protection it won't be a problem for them. at the moment we don't know because we don't have a time machine
9:23 am
and we cannot race forward in time and we cannot race forward in time and look back to see how long people remain protected after being vaccinated three times or even more. what the government and faze other researchers are doing now is a real time experiment, —— what the government and other researchers, they are following the immunity and level of infection so we can get the measure of how well protected we are against what amounts to a moving target. the virus is changing as well and so there is an extra degree of freedom which makes it even trickier to make these sorts of predictions. it's really a question of wheat see what happens, learn and that informs our future strategy. there will always be an element of guesswork. we know people will be familiar at the time you have to isolate has changed but this question is an interesting one. he says, itis a positive last friday, 21st of january but one week later i'm still
9:24 am
showing positive results, should i continue testing until i get consecutive negative results? anecdotally, hearing from people who are nine or ten days in and still showing positive results. r , one of the sectors we run about its education and speaking to teachers _ its education and speaking to teachers who welcome the changes to self—isolation but noted try to cut it to five — self—isolation but noted try to cut it to five full days is tricky because _ it to five full days is tricky because a number are still testing positive — because a number are still testing positive. the way the system works now is _ positive. the way the system works now is if— positive. the way the system works now is if you've gone through five full days — now is if you've gone through five full days and you then take at lateral— full days and you then take at lateral flow test, if that is negative, and also negative at the next day _ negative, and also negative at the next day a — negative, and also negative at the next day a you record those tests, which _ next day a you record those tests, which is _ next day a you record those tests, which is important, you can end isolation — which is important, you can end isolation early. if you are still testing — isolation early. if you are still testing positive, you need to complete the full ten days. at old number _ complete the full ten days. at old number we were used to. and even if

to previous strains but also healing of a new one. it's tempting and tantalising and sort of supported by history and experience.— history and experience. there are a number of examples _ history and experience. there are a number of examples where - history and experience. there are a number of examples where when i number of examples where when viruses have jumped the species barrier and gone from one animal host into a new one initial that usually have very dramatic consequences because the virus is ill adapted to that new species but over time there is an adaptation on both sides and the virus changes to become a better bedfellow in the house changes to become more accommodating of its viral passenger. the two tend to rub along better in future. this has happened with previous flue, and previous coronavirus, one of the other examples of coronaviruses causing pandemics came from the late 1800s when we had what we thought was a flu pandemic, they call that russian flu pandemic, they call that russian flu but turns out it was probably a
9:27 am
cow coronavirus that jumped flu but turns out it was probably a cow coronavirus thatjumped the species barrier and it's still here today and it is one of the common human coronaviruses that causes cold symptoms every winter in about 5% of people. the evidence is that tends to happen but it's not a given. there is a good rule of thumb which is you never say never in medicine because otherwise you will always be wrong. good rule for life, not necessarily for medicine. chris and linda, thank you so much. always good having you with us every saturday. matt is taking over on the saturday kitchen at ten o'clock.— kitchen at ten o'clock. feeling better? i am _ kitchen at ten o'clock. feeling better? i am much _ kitchen at ten o'clock. feeling better? i am much better. - kitchen at ten o'clock. feeling i better? i am much better. thank kitchen at ten o'clock. feeling - better? i am much better. thank you for your— better? i am much better. thank you for your concern. thanks to all the love that _ for your concern. thanks to all the love that people who looked after me

horseback, there aren't new rules in place. —— there are no rules in place. changes to the highway code come in today, aimed at boosting safety for vulnerable road users like pedestrians, 0h oh my did her 0h cyclists and horse riders. however, there are concerns that not all drivers are aware of the new rules as our transport correspondent, katy austin, reports. if you're out and about on the roads from today, there are some major updates you need to be aware of. updates to the highway code. one example is, if you're driving and want to turn at a junction, you should give way to any pedestrians waiting to cross, as well as those already crossing, even if there's traffic waiting behind you. other updates include that cyclists going straight ahead atjunctions have priority over traffic wanting to turn, and in some situations such as slow traffic, they're advised to ride in the centre of a lane to be clearly visible. cyclists are reminded they can ride two abreast, which can be safer, for example, in large groups, and drivers are told to leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking. and what about horse riders?
9:32 am
drivers and motorcyclists are advised to leave two metres when overtaking them, and pass at less than ten miles per hour. paula thinks many don't realise the risks. there have been some major incidents. the main causes, people are just driving too close to us. we've had a glazier�*s van that hit a horse, took the stirrup from the horse, and dragged the horse backwards with the rider on it. i've been hit as well, it was a delivery van that came around the corner and hit my leg when he was driving past. the highway code is amazing, it's a really good start, we now need to keep the momentum going. the government is planning an awareness campaign about the updates. critics say there hasn't been enough advance publicity, which could lead to confusion. we went to a car park in eastleigh to see what motorists fought. t to see what motorists fought. i think it's going to cause a lot

9:34 am
never go alongside a truck round a roundabout, stay behind. but this haulage firm fears it will make lorry driving a less attractive job, and the boss says his industry has strict safety rules. they're strongly controlled, and there's big penalties for not complying with those things. the emphasis should be on making people that are at risk think about themselves more, rather than passing the burden of that risk to someone else. motoring groups say it's vital people take time to understand updates which are aimed at driving safer roads for everyone. katy austin, bbc news. we can now talk to nick chamberlin from british cycling and tracey benson, who is a personal injury lawyer at nick, if someone is watching this morning and thinking, some of those has slightly passed me by, may be a

evocative and compelling. we take back the streets, we take back law and order! you murder innocent men, and boys! it was conceived over several years by the late liam campbell. as a writer, the first challenge for me was not so much, what do you write, but what do you leave out? because in almost every aspect, every microcosm of the stories, when you begin to do your research, behind the headlines, if you like, of bloody sunday, every story is a play in and of itself. this scene depicts peggy deery, a widowed mother of 14 children who was injured. her pleading with a soldier is a particularly powerful moment. do not murder me and orphan my children! stop talking at me — lie down! we don't want this to be simply a story of tragedy and sorrow and loss, but of course it is. we want to bring more to it, and we want to step out from the chronological nature of the events that happened that day, and offer a more universal

reflection upon the nature of conflict, upon the nature of injustice and on the nature of innocence. # why have you come here to this land? - the arts can help to heal the hurts of history. the director of the white handkerchief is reminded of a quote. "grief is love that has nowhere to go." and the countless stories that existed there, if a writer puts that story to paper, and it takes from page to stage, then perhaps that love has somewhere to go. the sense of trauma remains sharp for bereaved relatives, like jackie duddy�*s sister, kay. he was a great amateur boxer, he loved bringing home his trophies and that. me dad, he was so proud. you often wonder, would he have boxed in the olympics? would he have turned professional? would he have married? it just left so many unanswered questions. it'sjust — it'sjust too sad for words. the consequences of bloody sunday are felt most profoundly, of course,

playwright liam campbell who died last month ending that report. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. isuspect good morning. i suspect a few live in the northern half of the uk, you may already have heard the weather this morning because it is very windy out there, quite stormy conditions in place thanks to a storm named by the danish weather service. already bringing us because of women in excess of 80 mph. it is the hook of cloud that is responsible, an area of low pressure, it has been named storm malik, it will bring big impacts of wind and snow in denmark. for others, lots of isobars on the chart, meaning strong winds. met office amber warning in force for
9:50 am
parts of eastern scotland and north—east and scotland. throughout this yellow warning earlier, a gust of 60-80 this yellow warning earlier, a gust of 60—80 mph in a few places. also some outbreaks of rain living across scotland, a band pushing southwards across england and wales right now. i had of it, quite a mild feel to the weather. behind that weakening ray ban, sunnier skies, scattering is of showers, particularly in spots exposed to that wind. temperatures will continue to drop this evening and tonight. the winds will fall light, these skies will clear, allowing fog patches to potentially form and also a touch of frost. a chilly start to sunday. this is
9:51 am
probably the calmest part of the weekend. some light winds, some spells of sunshine. northern ireland and scotland will see thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain, some snow over higher ground in scotland, winds picking up again. through sunday night, another area of low pressure crossing across the uk. again the summer strong winds, a spell of gales for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. strong winds to start and end at the weekend, and the week looks decidedly mixed. much milderfor tuesday and the week looks decidedly mixed. much milder for tuesday and wednesday. colder again for at the end of the week with some rain at times. due to kit out there, those strong winds could cause damage and destruction. —— do take care.
