cheering. and to simon, to his dad. this album was all of our journey, notjust mine. half—term holiday headaches. rules are eased this week for travellers coming back into the uk, but things aren't so simple in lots of popular destinations. i'll explain what the different restrictions are and how they'll affect your holiday plans. we are line from the alps this morning. we are line from the alps this morninu. �* . ., ., morning. but are we? charlotte bankes will _ morning. but are we? charlotte bankes will go _ morning. but are we? charlotte bankes will go for _ morning. but are we? charlotte bankes will go for olympic - morning. but are we? charlotte | bankes will go for olympic gold. aimee fuller is with us. cloud and outbreaks of rain by pushing southwards across england and wales are behind it brightening up with a few showers and gales in the north and west. all the details throughout the programme. it's wednesday 9th february.

the charity carers trust is calling for greater support and recognition from the government for the millions of unpaid carers in the uk, who provide vital help for loved ones in need. the charity says many unpaid carers often have to juggle their responsibilities with work, and need access to respite breaks and a ca rers' allowance. tim muffett reports. mark has kennedy's disease. a type of motor neurone dizzying that is making his muscles weaker and weaker. he was diagnosed eight years ago and is totally reliant on his wife katie. it is really intrinsic support, coming to terms with it is a step in the right direction. if i'm left alone, which i am sometimes, i can't do anything because if i fall over, or i get stuck on the toilet or something like that, i'm stuck and i have to phone someone to come and get me. katie had to give up herjob as a geography

teacher to care for mark. she now gets a carer's allowance of £67 per week. it starts from the moment that mark wakes up to the moment that he goes to bed and then even then, i am still worrying he might wake up in the night or need me and something like that. or something like that. so you are never off duty. i haven't had any respite, so any breaks from mark at all for eight, nine years since he has been diagnosed. i haven't gone off and had a weekend with friends or anything like that. it doesn't happen. you know, not even half an afternoon or something like that. there are an estimated 7 million unpaid carers like katie in the uk. it is thought around three in five people will be in this position at some point in their lifetime. some are spending an average of 50 hours or more per week caring for a relative.

many are struggling financially. almost half of unpaid carers told us they had to give up work or cut down their hours because of their caring responsibilities. many struggle to pay their bills, they struggle to make ends meet. three in ten unpaid carers told us they had to skip meals, they had to go without food. there are now renewed calls for carer's allowance to increase and for more respite and support. the government says it recognises the vital role carers play and that it is investing up to £25 million to improve the existing measures designed to help them. tim muffett, bbc news. west ham manager david moyes has defended his decision to select kurt zouma against watford last night — while police are investigating footage of him kicking his pet cat. booing. the french international was booed by fans at the london stadium,

following the release of a video showing the 27—year—old hitting, dropping and kicking his cat across the floor. the club says it unreservedly condemns him for his actions, but said it was a matter separate from the match. i'm a human being and i'm also a great animal lover. so i understand how people feel. but again, as i said, i am the football manager here and i have to find a way of getting the results here. and kurt zouma is one of the key players to us. a conservative party donor has told bbc news that borisjohnson�*s leadership is "past the point of no return". john armitage — a billionaire financier — said the current situation in government was tremendously upsetting and that the tory party needed to remake itself. we're joined now by political correspondent iain watson. this is a question i have asked a few times. how damaging is this for the prime minister?—

few times. how damaging is this for the prime minister? those questions come fast and _ the prime minister? those questions come fast and furious _ the prime minister? those questions come fast and furious over— the prime minister? those questions come fast and furious over the - the prime minister? those questions come fast and furious over the past l come fast and furious over the past weeks and this is another. it is damaging. john armitage has deep pockets. he contributed £3 million to the conservative party and under boris johnson's to the conservative party and under borisjohnson�*s leadership half a million. he said he is not giving financial support at this stage there that will be damaging but equally, a lot of conservative mps are worried about where boris johnson's leadership is going and some considering putting in letters of no confidence. if they see there is an electoral consequences to his leadership, perhaps at forthcoming local elections, or a financial consequence as we see there, that might encourage some of them to decide they want a ballot on whether he should continue as leader. that is not great news for him. john armitage made a wider point, and also attacked generally standards in british politics. if also attacked generally standards in british politics.—

british politics. if you do something _ british politics. if you do something or _ british politics. if you do something or say - british politics. if you do - something or say something which british politics. if you do _ something or say something which on the front_ something or say something which on the front page of the sunday times looks_ the front page of the sunday times looks terrible, and you do that consistently, and you betray a sense of not _ consistently, and you betray a sense of not really — consistently, and you betray a sense of not really caring, i think you should — of not really caring, i think you should leave. and i find the lack of honour_ should leave. and i find the lack of honour inherent in modern politics incredibly— honour inherent in modern politics incredibly distressing. what _ incredibly distressing. what he was also saying is that people should take responsibility and he seemed to scoff at the idea that things can be sorted out by appointing a new chief of staff. we had the mini reshuffle yesterday by borisjohnson, changing some boris johnson, changing some ministers. borisjohnson, changing some ministers. it does not sound as if that will cut much ice withjohn armitage. he is not a natural boris johnson supporter. he donated to the remain campaign rather than brexit and has donated a small amount to the labour party, £12,000. that

said, he is a member of the conservative party and said he will continue as a member but obviously not a financialbacking.— a cross—party group of mps says the uk's exit from the european union has so far only led to increased costs, paperwork and border delays for businesses. a report by the public accounts committee has warned ministers there remains a lot more work to do to ease the administrative and cost burden. the mps also urge the government to be "honest about the problems rather than overpromising". here's our global trade correspondent, chris morris. the focus on britain's borders continues. this report says trade volumes have fallen partly because of the impact of covid. the exit from the eu has clearly had an impact and new border arrangements have added costs to business. smaller firms with fewer resources have been hit the hardest. between the delays at the border, the extra costs and paperwork, a lot of businesses are saying it has been a struggle for them.

we have said to the government repeatedly, before brexit and again in this report, you need to step up and support smaller businesses. they have concentrated on volume businesses, the bigger ones, that are doing the most trade with europe. that is no consolation for those many people whose livelihoods, and sometimes jobs of other people, depend on their being able to do this trade with europe. the committee notes that a brexit support fund worth £20 million was initially created for small businesses. but only 6.7 million was paid out because it was so hard to access the money. more, the report says, needs to be done. outside dover, long queues of lorries have become the norm. the committee says it could get worse. it says there is potential for further disruption when more people start travelling again and passenger volumes at key ports like dover increase. there is also concern about extra delays later this year when the eu introduces new passport controls and the uk starts checking the import of food products.

the mps want more transparency from government about the problems businesses are facing. the government says it plans to create the most effective border in the world by 2025. the committee says that is a noteworthy ambition, but optimistic given where things stand today. chris morris, bbc news. seven out of 10 people have experienced potential rip—offs while shopping online, such as subscription traps and hidden charges, according to a study by the competition regulator. the competitions and markets authority has launched a campaign aiming to help shoppers identify misleading online practices. it says it's increasingly concerned about the tactics of some retailers, after the pandemic fuelled a surge in online shopping. when you are thinking about things like subscription traps, look very carefully to see are they asking for your payment details to collect further payments from you in the future when you think it's just a one—off? you could set yourself reminders in the future to make sure

you cancel subscriptions you don't want. things like fake reviews, you should look to compare as many reviews as you can, positive and negative. look to see if they are actually describing the product or service you are thinking about buying, orjust using really colourful language like brilliant or excellent without really getting into specifics. adele was the big winner at last night's brit awards, taking home the three top prizes — artist, song, and album of the year. there were also awards for billie eilish and ed sheeran — and after organisers scrapped specific male and female categories, women won nine of the 12 awards for solo artists. our music correspondent mark savage was watching. adele! adele, easy on me! it was almost inevitable. adele swept the board at the brits, winning three of the four categories she was nominated for,

including artist of the year and best album for her so—called divorce record 30. i'd like to dedicate this award to my son. cheering. and to simon, his dad. this album was all of our journey, notjust mine. i am very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album that was about something so personal to me. the star also gave a laid—back performance of i drink wine. on a set that echoed the las vegas show she so recently postponed. # how come both become a version of the person we don't like? but there was no reference to that setback as she took to the stage in london, sometimes with a little difficulty. what do i do? how do i get down there with two things in me hand? thank you. but not as much difficulty as anne—marie. luckily, she recovered enough to keep performing and, after she came off stage, she tweeted, "didn't need my left ankle, anyway."

meanwhile, ed sheeran opened the show, playing his number one hit bad habits with the sheffield rock band bring me the horizon. ed sheeran was also named songwriter of the year, while billie eilish won best international artist. billie eilish! thank you, guys, so much. i am so honoured and feel so lucky to be awarded this again. best new artist went to rapper a little simz and her mum. mum, look at what you've done, mum. best rap act went to dave. i want to say thank you to all of the artists that are in the same field as me, the rappers that have suffered for years and years and years and years and broken down so many barriers in this industry that i'm in right now. and rolling stone ronnie wood gave sam fender the award for best rock act. my favourite, sam fender!

cheering. but the person who appreciated winning the most was becky hill. she picked up best dance artist. i was always somebody that nobody really knew who i was and there will still be to this day people who sit on their sofa and go becky who? and this, for me, is proper recognition that i'm doing the right thing and i'm not necessarily wasting my life. in the first year without male and female categories, women prizewinners outnumbered men by three to one and adele had something to say about it. i understand why the name of this award has changed, but i really love being a woman and being a female artist. i do. mark savage, bbc news. i'm really proud of us, i really am. what a night she had. we have been talking about winners. ready for another? have a look at this incredible picture that has won

the wildlife photographer of the year people's choice award. what am i missing? where is the wildlife? 0h, wildlife? oh, there is some wildlife. that was a frozen lake in northern italy. we have all sorts of others. rattling through them now. lions in the rain. and kangaroos coming out from a wildfire. i'm sorry, i got distracted by the italian trees. i thought maybe there was an owl in there. maybe you could say took a picture of some trees, i am sure there was a mouse there. i'm sorry. surely it needs wildlife in it. there is definitely something living in that. we can't see it. we will tell you what the wildlife

is. now the weather with carol. it isa it is a mild start across many areas. parts of scotland, where it has been snowing, it is a cold start and watch out for ice, particularly where we have lying snow. you can see the snow. we also have showers and a band of rain. a lot of cloud associated with this. a weak weather front sinking south through the day. behind it, the sun comes out but still some showers. wintry in the hills in northern ireland and england. at lower levels in scotland. breezy with strong wind across the north and west. particularly the northern isles and western isles, gusting up to 60 mph which will continue through the day. temperatures up to 12 in london. overnight, the weather front moves south. drifting further north—east. the main action moving across

scotland. we have low pressure. it will bring rain, sleet and snow even to lower levels, notjust in the north, some of it further south. and gales or severe gales so the likelihood of blizzards. as we go through tomorrow, that is how we start the day, with gales and severe gales in the north, the snow moving away but snow showers following behind in scotland to low levels. snow on the hills of northern ireland and northern england. at lower levels, that will be rain. but equally some dry weather and sunshine. and look at the temperatures. one in lerwick, 28—9 in the of england. if you've been to cornwall recently, did you overhear anyone speaking the cornish language?

would you know? i not sure. the language is enjoying something of a resurgence with nearly six—thousand school children getting a taste of it in their lessons. martha dixon takes a look at why cornish is becoming so popular. cornwall, the stunning peninsula at the far west of england, largely spoke the celtic language of cornish until around 500 years ago. across this land, the cornish language slowly disappeared as the anglo—saxons spread west and english took over. up until ten years ago, the un said cornish was extinct. but that's now changing. cornish schools are now part of a new big push to increase the number of speakers. nearly 6000 pupils are now signed up to a new programme mixing cornish into lessons and everyday life. if you want to say hello to someone you can say "dydh da". and if you want to say "how

are they" you can say "fatla genes". it's cool because you can tune into the cornish language. fatla genes. the number of adults learning cornish has also gone up dramatically. going online has led to hundreds of people accessing classes, and more than 2000 learners are now registered on apps. it has just gone crazy. we have had so many more learners. this massive surge as opened up opportunities for more people to be employed, be actually working towards something that has a real value to it now. many new learners are from cornwall�*s diaspora population. i live in boston but my dad's side of the family is from cornwall and, a few years ago, we had to go to cornwall and we really started to plug in after that with facebook. after the pandemic, everything went online and i have been able to take several cornish language courses every week. so now we use cornish every day in my house.

so how do you bring back a dead language? street signs in cornish raise awareness. it is all part of a plan by cornwall council to bring cornish into people's lives. the council's head of cornish language also wants more technology. he is testing another new app with a cornish speaker. we were asked by other endangered languages in europe to take part, like basque and like sami, because they were interested in the impact an app could have on small, critically endangered language like cornish with a small number of speakers. we don't have any teachers, people don't hear the language, and an app means people can practise at home in their own time. he sings in cornish. and local musicians are also embracing the cornish language. will keating, who has a globalfollowing, now sings with cornish words. so i find singing in the cornish

language is really expressive. and the feedback i've got from all over the world is so positive. those cornish communities around the world that speak the cornish language, but also from visitors to cornwall who have never heard the cornish language before, they really take to it and they are really pleased to hear it. martha dixon, bbc news, cornwall. another language to learn. another one to master. trying to learn spanish at the minute. trying to wedge it much in my head as possible. how does that work? i am trying to learn piano, write a book and do spanish at the same time. do you do it on a listening app? yes. that is good. i am saying it, i do not think much is going on. nhs waiting lists make several of today's front pages, with the times reporting warnings from tory mps that borisjohnson�*s plan to clear the healthcare

backlog in england are "not ambitious enough". the metro leads on the "wagatha christie" libel case between rebekah vardy and coleen rooney. many papers include a picture of singer adele at the brit awards, speculating about the ring she wore on her engagement finger. there is an obsession with ring fingers. why is that? maybe it was just a nice piece ofjewellery. and the guardian features this image ofjudy dench who has been nominated for best actress at the oscars — it's her eighth nomination and, if she wins, she'd be the oldest actor to win at 87. she is amazing. do you want to see a dog? always. these works of pawgery were done by a talented dog. barksy. this is the dog in question and these are

the artworks. apparently, the dog uses his nose and paws to raise money for bristol animal rescue centre. it is paw and nose prints? barksy had a rough start in life. he has been passed through a few homes and is now looking for a considerate and is now looking for a considerate and patient home. i am sure we can sort that by the end of the morning. anyone looking for a newjob. end of the morning. anyone looking fora newjob. do end of the morning. anyone looking for a newjob. do you want to be king of queen? of? peel island in cumbria. it was once home to a plantagenet pretender.

they want a new king or queen whose main duty is to run the local pub. people have applied. how do you get there? in a little boat. the coronation, you would like this, you sit in a special chair wearing a special helmet holding a special sword. i mean... bring out the helmet! and the special sword. bring out the helmet! and the specialsword. it bring out the helmet! and the special sword. it sounds fun. ok, i cannot believe i have not applied already. tensions on the border between russia and ukraine were the backdrop for the two countries to face each other in the world of sport. the two sides made it to the semi—final of the futsal european championship a 5—a—side tournament which has attracted a growing number of fans. our correspondent in kyiv james waterhouse can explain. welcome to the sometimes painful world of futsal.

today, it is donetsk, in the blue check, against sumy in ukraine's national cup. there is a sense of ukrainian normality here. it is an intense, skilful sport. but donetsk, because of what is happening in the east of the country, are being are being forced to play their home games here in kyiv, which is 400 miles away. the team had to relocate when fighting started there eight years ago. in the end, donetsk took it 3—2. the manager tells us his side had been falsely accused of being pro—russian. translation: we were - warned to come back home, to our home stadium, to ourfans. but we understand it won't happen anytime soon. of course, we all live with one big hope to return to donetsk. it is not only sport where ukrainian unity is gaining momentum. this was a march in a cityjust 25

miles from the russian border. last weekend, thousands there turned out in a pro—ukrainian demonstration. but where patriotism was running highest was at one crunch futsal match. ukraine had made it to the semifinals of the euros against, you guessed it, russia. i have never watched this sport, but, today, we have a situation when we understand that russia is our enemy. afterfalling behind, ukraine fought back but couldn't get the win in the end. but with the country facing russia for the first time in years, it meant futsal has never been so popular. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. the tension there.

we have an exciting half hour coming up. you have watched encanto. how many times? our kids are obsessed. i like it, as well, but quite a few. when i make them do the dishwasher, they sing along. we have the director of encanto coming up in the next half hour. time now to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. every young londoner in need of support will have a personal mentor in two years' time. that's the aim of the mayor of london sadiq khan who says the scheme will include those who've been excluded from school or college, those living in poverty and those in the care system. he says he wants to put young people at the heart of london's recovery from the pandemic. a new report released today shows that britain's housing crisis is significantly damaging young

people's mental health. the report commissioned by the housing association, metropolitan thames valley housing, shows three in five young people say their current accommodation is affecting their mental health. it's particularly bad in london and the south east with high house prices and a lack of affordable housing. a new exhibition opens at the v&a this weekend telling the story of the children's author beatrix potter. in partnership with the national trust it features rarely seen objects, including personal letters, early sketchbooks and drawings from some of her most famous books, including the tale of benjamin bunny and the tale of mrs tiggy—winkle. the bbc turns 100 this year and to celebrate we're telling the stories of amazing people. one of those is marlene johnson, a head nurse at st george's hospital. as well as caring for her staff and patients, marlene helps to run a food bank in croydon. i'm used to seeing sick people in the hospital, and caring for those sick people,

they have specific needs. they want to get well, they want to be healed, they want to go home. but actually in the community, people also want to be healed in a different way. if you are heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. good service on all lines except for the ongoing part closure on the northern line. let's get the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a few changes happening in our weather. today is still looking mild for the time of year but there is a cold front gradually tracking its way south across the country and that's going to introduce a bit more in the way of cloud, may be a few outbreaks of rain but it won't amount to very much. eventually into thursday, some chillier feeling air. but also lots of sunshine for the end of the working week. and then over the course of the weekend, it's set to turn unsettled and milder once more. it's really quite wet and windy on sunday. let's backtrack to this morning, then. a mild start to the day, temperatures in high single figures.

quite a bit of early brightness around, some sunshine, lasting longest towards the south, but more cloud spilling down from the north through the morning. may be a few outbreaks ofjust light and patchy rain, we are set to keep that cloud for the rest of the day. top temperatures above the seasonal average again, 12 or 13 celsius. there's still that westerly wind going on. we will keep those layers of cloud overnight tonight. that rain could pep up for a time, a chilly start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow will begin with lots of cloud but that cloud will clear southward through the afternoon to leave us with some sunshine. maybe one or two afternoon showers, but generally dry and a widespread frost into friday. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on instagram and facebook and of course the website. now it's back to sally and dan. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning.

# the home of the family madrigal, we're on our way disney's �*encanto' features its first glasses—wearing heroine, mirabel, something which was requested by 12—year—old fan lowri in 2019. she joins us just before 7am alongside directorjared bush. we'll also chat to olympian tom daley, who is taking on a gruelling four—day challenge from london to plymouth by foot, water, boat and bike, all to raise money for comic relief. actor lesley manville tells us about her latest role in crime drama magpie murders and playing princess margaret in the upcoming series of the crown. . two it's half—term for millions of families next week and some

are heading abroad for their first foreign holiday since the pandemic began. uk travel restrictions will be eased on friday, making the return journey fairly simple but the rules do vary for different destinations. ben's looking into this one for us today. good morning. it will be nice and eas for good morning. it will be nice and easy for lots _ good morning. it will be nice and easy for lots of _ good morning. it will be nice and easy for lots of families - good morning. it will be nice and easy for lots of families when - good morning. it will be nice and. easy for lots of families when they return to the uk at the end of half term but as you say, there are still some strict rules and on vaccination and testing in some destinations. please have your passports and boarding cards ready for me. it may have been quite a while since you heard those words. but after two long years, lots of families are gearing up for their first holiday abroad since the pandemic began. that's because it's half—term for millions next week and because the uk rules are easing on friday. anyone who's fully vaccinated, and all under 18—year—olds, can return to the country without any pre—departure or arrival tests. people who haven't been vaccinated will still need to take a day two test and everyone will have to fill in a form.

but check the rules at your destination because lots of other countries still have restrictions in place. some popular holiday spots have put expiry dates on vaccination certificates. if you want to go to spain or france, you will either need a booster or have had your second jab within the last nine months for it to count. if you're heading to italy or austria, your second jab or booster will need to have been within the last six months. something else causing half—term headaches? the entry requirements for children vary from country to country. spain requires all uk travellers over 12 to show proof of vaccination. austria, belgium, france, germany, italy and some us states are also difficult to access for unvaccinated teenagers. then, of course, a few places are still totally closed to uk travellers. countries like australia and japan. all of that means holiday companies are seeing more interest in places where the rules are simpler

like mexico and turkey. but that's not an option for everyone, as our transport correspondent katy austin has been finding out. ben and his family have great memories of the canary islands. they were looking forward to making more last year, but restrictions forced them to postpone to this february. now, children over 12 need two jabs to enter spain, so the holiday is off. unfortunately, the 12—year—old has onlyjust turned 12, so doesn't have his second vaccination yet. so we cancelled, only cancelled a few days ago, we thought we would hold out until the 1st of february in case anything changed. but unfortunately we had to pull the plug. ben is far from alone. travel agents say lots of people want to go away at the moment, but they're having to keep their customers informed of an ever—changing international patchwork of covid rules. spain, including the canaries, is usually a half—term hit. you can get a little bit of heat, where your shorts,

sit outside and eat. the rule barring over 12s with only one or no vaccinations is having a big impact. 50% of our bookings were moved because actually, it's for families. they'll move destinations or move dates and plan for easter. it's a headache for tourism businesses in the canaries. they want the spanish government to relax the restrictions because many brits are heading for places like turkey or mexico instead. in tenerife, we have 2.5 million british citizens every normal year. when we talk about christmas, when we talk about february, we are talking about nearly 30% of the business. so that brings this loss to be nearly 1000 million euros if we do not take those measures out. from friday, it will get a lot easier to come into the uk. fully vaccinated travellers no longer to have to take any covid tests to enter this country. but people planning trips overseas still really need to know what the rules are at their destination.

because every country has its own requirements. and notjust for entry. in france, over 16s need a pass showing proof of vaccination to access certain activities including getting a ski pass. unvaccinated 12 to 15—year—olds can take daily tests. tour operators still expect a bumper easter and summer, but many families who hoped for winter sun are having to wait a little longer. katy austin, bbc news. keen to hear from you on this one. are you having to rethink your trip, or have you booked for somewhere different this half—term? do get in touch. worth remembering of course that lots of families are really struggling with the cost of living at the moment. so, any holiday abroad is out of the question. there's a wider point here though. the travel industry yesterday said covid restrictions caused a £7 billion hit to the uk economy last year. this half—term is a chance to recoup some of those losses,

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. every young londoner in need of support will have a personal mentor in two years' time. that's the aim of the mayor of london, sadiq khan, who says the scheme will include those who've been excluded from school or college, those living in poverty and those in the care system. he says he wants to put young people at the heart of london's recovery from the pandemic. a new report shows that britain's housing crisis is significantly damaging young people's mental health. it was commissioned by the housing association metropolitan thames valley housing, and found three in five young people believe their current accommodation is affecting their mental health. it's particularly bad in london where high house prices and a lack of affordable housing mean young people in particularfind it difficult to buy or rent property. an exhibtion opens at the v&a this weekend telling the story of the children's author

beatrix potter. in partnership with the national trust, it features rarely seen objects, including personal letters, early sketchbooks and drawings from some of her most famous books, including the tale of benjamin bunny. the bbc turns 100 this year and to celebrate we're telling the stories of amazing people. one of those is marlene johnson, a head nurse at st george's hospital. as well as caring for her staff and patients, marlene helps to run a food bank in croydon. i'm used to seeing sick people in the hospital, and caring for those sick people, they have specific needs. they want to get well, they want to be healed, they want to go home. but actually in the community, people also want to be healed in a different way. if you are heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. good service on all lines except for the ongoing part closure on the northern line. let's get the weather now with elizabeth rizzini

hello, good morning. a few changes happening in our weather. today is still looking mild for the time of year but there is a cold front gradually tracking its way south across the country and that's going to introduce a bit more in the way of cloud, may be a few outbreaks of rain but it won't amount to very much. eventually into thursday, some chillier feeling air. but also lots of sunshine for the end of the working week. and then over the course of the weekend, it's set to turn unsettled and milder once more. it's really quite wet and windy on sunday. let's backtrack to this morning, then. a mild start to the day, temperatures in high single figures. quite a bit of early brightness around, some sunshine, lasting longest towards the south, but more cloud spilling down from the north through the morning. may be a few outbreaks ofjust light and patchy rain, we are set to keep that cloud for the rest of the day. top temperatures above the seasonal average again, 12 or 13 celsius. there's still that westerly wind going on. we will keep those layers of cloud overnight tonight. that rain could pep up for a time, a chilly start to the day tomorrow.

tomorrow will begin with lots of cloud but that cloud will clear southward through the afternoon to leave us with some sunshine. maybe one or two afternoon showers, but generally dry and a widespread frost into friday. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on instagram and facebook — and of course the website.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today. crowd boos. booing on the pitch for footballer kurt zouma, as police confirm they are investigating footage of him kicking his pet cat. more care for the carers — the government is urged to come up with a plan to help the millions looking after others without pay or respite. adele! a triumphant return to the brit awards for adele as she takes home three prizes. i'd like to dedicate this award to my son. cheering. and to simon, to his dad. this album was all of our journey, notjust mine.

it is distressing video. the french international was booed by fans at the london stadium, following the release of a video showing the 27—year—old, hitting, dropping and kicking his cat across the floor. tim muffett reports. cat across the floor. crowd booing. cat across the floor. boos directed towards kurt zouma. cat across the floor. he played in last night's match against watford, despite widespread condemnation of a video shared on social media. after the game, west ham manager david moyes had this to say. i'm a human being and i'm also a great animal lover. so i understand how people feel. but again, as i said, i am the football manager here and i have to find a way of getting the results here. and kurt zouma is one of the key players to us. kurt zouma has issued an apology about the incident.

the player was criticised by the professional footballers' association whilst giving evidence to a select committee yesterday. it should not be happening. i have not seen the video but i have read the player has apologised which is a sign of him acknowledging this type of behaviour is not acceptable. i have been a player myself. sometimes the truth hurts, but we need to tell them what is right and what is not right. the rspca says it has received a number of messages about the video and that it will look into any complaints that were made. former player ian wright described kurt zouma as a coward on twitter. and presenter gabby logan said she would have got rid of a player who kicked and hit an animalfor laughs.

essex police has said it is looking into the matter following reports that the incident might have taken place in the county. tim muffett, bbc news. a conservative party donor has told bbc news that borisjohnson's leadership is "past the point of no return". john armitage — a billionaire financier — said the current situation in government was "tremendously upsetting" and that the tory party needed to "remake itself". mr armitage has also donated money to three labour mps. in response, a conservative spokesperson said �*the government remains fully focussed on delivering for the british people'. if you do something or say something which on the front page of the sunday times looks terrible, and you do that consistently, and you betray a sense of not really caring, i think you should leave. and i find the lack of honour inherent in modern politics incredibly distressing.

a cross—party group of mps says the uk's exit from the european union has so far only led to increased costs, paperwork and border delays for businesses. a report by the public accounts committee has warned ministers that more needs to be done to ease the administrative and cost burden. the mps also urge the government to be "honest about the problems rather than overpromising". the government says it is ensuring businesses get the help they need to trade with europe and elsewhere. health minister gillian keegan has apologised after continuing a meeting despite a positive covid lateral flow test. the conservative mp was speaking to three dads, who have each lost their daughters to suicide. she was told the result during the meeting but carried on with what she describes as "precautions". adele was the big winner at last night's brit awards, taking home the three top prizes — artist, song and album of the year.

there were also awards for billie eilish and ed sheeran, and after organisers scrapped specific male and female categories, women won nine of the 12 awards for solo artists. our music correspondent mark savage was watching. adele! adele, easy on me! it was almost inevitable. adele swept the board at the brits, winning three of the four categories she was nominated for, including artist of the year and best album for her so—called divorce record 30. i'd like to dedicate this award to my son. cheering. and to simon, to his dad. this album was all of our journey, notjust mine. i am very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album that was about something so personal to me. the star also gave a laid—back performance of i drink wine on a set that echoed the las vegas shows she so recently postponed. # how come both become a version

of the person we don't like? of the person we don't even like? but there was no reference to that setback as she took to the stage in london, sometimes with a little difficulty. what do i do? how do i get down there with two things in me hand? luckily, she recovered enough to keep performing and, after she came off stage, she tweeted, "didn't need my left ankle, anyway." meanwhile, ed sheeran opened the show, playing his number one hit bad habits with the sheffield rock band bring me the horizon. ed sheeran was also named songwriter of the year, ed was also named songwriter of the year, while billie eilish won best international artist. billie eilish! thank you, guys, so much. i am so honoured and feel so lucky to be awarded this — again. best new artist went to rapper a little simz and her mum. mum, look at what you've done, mum.

best rap act went to dave. i want to say thank you to all of the artists that are in the same field as me, the rappers that have suffered for years and years and years and years and broken down so many barriers in this industry that i'm in right now. and rolling stone ronnie wood gave sam fender the award for best rock act. my favourite, sam fender! cheering. but the person who appreciated winning the most was becky hill. she picked up best dance artist. i was always somebody that nobody really knew who i was and there will still be to this day people who sit on their sofa and go becky who? and this, for me, is proper recognition that i'm doing the right thing and i'm not necessarily wasting my life. in the first year without male and female categories, women prizewinners outnumbered men by three to one and adele had something to say about it.

i understand why the name of this award has changed, but i really love being a woman and being a female artist. i do. mark savage, bbc news. adele making a point, i think. it was nice to hear a big crowd. it was nice to hear a big crowd. i know. long gone, hopefully, are the days of empty stadiums. stadia. don't. here's carol. some of us are starting on a cloudy note, especially across england and wales. a weather front is moving south. it has rain in it. as it moves south, behind sun will come out and for many cold, but a day of sunshine and showers, breezy with

strong winds to gale force in northern and western scotland, especially the northern isles. overnight, we had snow at low levels in northern scotland and we will have the same today. these are the temperatures. where we have the weather front, temperatures. where we have the weatherfront, we temperatures. where we have the weather front, we are temperatures. where we have the weatherfront, we are in temperatures. where we have the weather front, we are in the temperatures. where we have the weatherfront, we are in the mild category, io—i2. overnight, the weather front goes to the south. low pressure comes in. we will have snow at lower levels, and some rain and sleet. the wind will be a feature with gales, even severe gales across the north of scotland, so there will be blizzards. and the risk of ice where we have lying snow. a cold night except in the south where we have a weather front, which tomorrow clears and as it does, the sun will come out. the gales and snow in northern scotland moving to the north sea. and then sunshine and showers. in scotland, showers will be wintry at lower levels but in

northern ireland and northern england, wintry on the hills. all of us will feel a draft. when you add on the wind chill, for some, it will feel us will feel a draft. when you add on the wind chill, for some, it will feel subzero. the charity carers trust is calling for greater support and recognition from the government for the millions of unpaid carers in the uk, who provide vital help for loved ones in need. the charity says many unpaid carers often have to juggle their responsibilities with work, and need access to respite breaks and a carer's allowance. the carers trust says there are around seven million unpaid carers in the uk, and anyone can become a carer at any time. it's believed three in five people will be in this position at some point in their lifetime and a large number of people are spending an average of 50 hours or more per week caring for a relative. a recent survey of almost 1500 carers by the charity found that more than half of them had to either reduce their hours or stop working altogether so they could care for someone. zoe conway has been to meet two families dealing

with caring responsibilities. mito is showing me a photo of her husband taken soon after they were married in 1973. you look very elegant. very elegant. weren't you? they grew up together. mito remembers meeting her husband when she was just six years old. they moved to birmingham from india 45 years ago and have four sons. these days, married life is about a strict routine. you are very organised. yes, see that board, it tells you the timing, the medication and regularity. mito cannot walk. she has had parkinson's disease for more than ten years. she also has lung cancer, brain cancer and diabetes. i heard you say you think that he does too much for you, that it is too much for him. yes.

he does. why do you say that? i just say it. because he works hard? yes. her husband was once an interpreterfor the nhs. his life now can be gruelling. whilst there are paid carers to help during the day, he is up every night at 2am and again at 6am to tend to mito. i am feeling under pressure. i get angry for myself as well. it is too much. he is not in perfect health himself would like to be able to take some time off. he thinks the government needs to do more to ensure carers can get some respite. even though i feel happy she is recovering, she is stable and we are actually getting what we are doing. but, physically and even mentally, i get tired, as well. so, for that, you need some sort of respite.

katie stiles knows all about that overwhelming need to have some time. she has been caring for her husband mark for more eight years. mark has kennedy's disease, a type of motor neurone disease, and it causes a progressive weakening and wasting of the muscles. in all the time that she has been looking after mark, katie has not been able to get away. i have not gone off and had a weekend with friends or anything like that. it doesn't happen. you know, not even half an afternoon or something like that. so it would be lovely to have some support and actually be able to go and visit some friends that i haven't seen for a long time. i would really appreciate that. and knowing that he was safe somewhere so i didn't have to worry. katie was a geography teacher before giving up work to care for mark. she calculated she was on roughly £150 a day. now she gets a weekly carer's allowance of £67.

£67 is nothing. we are doing a job, we should be treated as if we are doing a job. i am doing over 100 hours of caring a week. i mean, it is not enough money. and when you are hit by disability before retirement age, you haven't built up the reserves that you might expect. my pension — my work pension is shot to bits. mark used to be a civil servant. he explains what it can be like just trying to drink a cup of coffee. a double espresso, although it is decaf, in a cup like this is quite... ..acceptable. the harder i focus on keeping still, the more the tremor gets worse. it is called an intention tremor. my muscles just don't do what they are supposed to do. the feedback loop to my muscles

from my brain is broken. he says he cannot be left alone and realises how difficult life can be for katie. do you think it is hard for her? yes, because i am incredibly difficult to live with. genuinely. i mean, i was pretty — what's the word? — fussy before. but, you know, life closes in on you and so little things suddenly have an awful amount of importance. whether the floor is clean, whether this, that, or the other. i'm not very easy to live with at all. but i do my best. katie is an advocate for unpaid carers and is hopeful they can get more recognition and support. you have just been so incredibly positive all morning. how do you do it? it is perhaps a sad story in that the person that

who was physically fit, is now no longer as fit and active as he was. but i don't see it like that. i've still got the person that i love. i am very lucky like that. and we live a life that we have made together, and it might not be everybody�*s idea of a life, but it is ours and it is special and i love him to bits. zoe conway, bbc news. we asked the government for a response. the government told us it recognises the vital role carers play, and that it's investing up to £25 million to improve existing measures designed to help them. laura bennett from carers trustjoins us now. good morning. we heard some hard—hitting stories in that piece. how common are those stories? ceres

face the choice between staying in work and having to leave work and be an unpaid care of. we would like more choice and also carers to have more choice and also carers to have more breaks so when they are caring they do not feel exhausted. that came through in what carers told us in the survey. came through in what carers told us in the survey-— in the survey. katie was talking about them _ in the survey. katie was talking about them marrying _ in the survey. katie was talking about them marrying a - in the survey. katie was talking about them marrying a long - in the survey. katie was talking i about them marrying a long time in the survey. katie was talking - about them marrying a long time ago but they love each other, and it is a lovely relationship still. do you think sometimes people in that position find it difficult to ask for help because they feel almost a guilt because it is theirjob to look after this person? it guilt because it is their “0b to look after this person?h guilt because it is their “0b to look after this person? it can be difficult. even _ look after this person? it can be difficult. even the _ look after this person? it can be difficult. even the word - look after this person? it can be difficult. even the word carers i look after this person? it can bej difficult. even the word carers is not one that we would use about ourselves, we are someone's wife or brother for example. ourselves, we are someone's wife or brotherfor example. help is hard to find and if it is not there when you asked for it it can be difficult but most carers care because they love somebody and all they ask for in return is breaks and things like that. ~ , , ,

thank you. let us know what you think about that. you can send an e—mail or a message on social media. quizmaster bamber gascoigne coined the university challenge catchphrases "fingers on buzzers", "your starter for 10", and "i'll have to hurry you". i get that quite a bit. following his death yesterday, bamber has been credited with the show�*s success, despite the questions being beyond the knowledge of much of the audience. let's remind ourselves of his unique hosting style. university challenge. asking the questions, bamber gascoigne. . your first starter for ten. starter for ten. um... no, jesus, can you take it? no conferring. locomotive engineer. no, the full question to bradford, no conferring.

across the country and that's going to introduce a bit more in the way of cloud, may be a few outbreaks of rain but it won't amount to very much. eventually into thursday, some chillier feeling air. but also lots of sunshine for the end of the working week. and then over the course of the weekend, it's set to turn unsettled and milder once more. it's really quite wet and windy on sunday. let's backtrack to this morning, then. a mild start to the day, temperatures in high single figures. quite a bit of early brightness around, some sunshine, lasting longest towards the south, but more cloud spilling down from the north through the morning. may be a few outbreaks ofjust light and patchy rain, we are set to keep that cloud for the rest of the day. top temperatures above the seasonal average again, 12 or 13 celsius. there's still that westerly wind going on. we will keep those layers of cloud overnight tonight. that rain could pep up for a time, a chilly start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow will begin with lots of cloud but that cloud will clear southward through the afternoon

to leave us with some sunshine. maybe one or two afternoon showers, but generally dry and a widespread frost into friday. i'm back in an hour. until then there's plenty more on our social media and the website. now it's back to sally and dan. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. west ham manager david moyes has explained his decision to start defender kurt zouma in their clash with watford last night. it follows the release of a video showing the 27—year—old, hitting, dropping and kicking his pet cat across the floor. booing. the french international was booed by fans at the london stadium. the club says it "unreservedly condemns" him for his actions, but said it was a matter separate from the match. i'm a human being and i'm also

a great animal lover. so i understand how people feel. but again, as i said, i am the football manager here and i have to find a way of getting the results here. and kurt zouma is one of the key players to us. we have taken the decision not to show the video from kurt zouma plasma cas with his family. —— kurt zouma's house. both essex police and the rspca are investigating the matter. we can speak now to becky thwaites from the animal charity, blue cross, and also former liverpool and england goalkeeper chris kirkland. do you first of all, becky, i'm sure you have probably seen the photos or watched the video, how did you feel watching that and what do you think needs to be done? this a watching that and what do you think needs to be done?— needs to be done? as a cat owner m selfi needs to be done? as a cat owner myself i was _ needs to be done? as a cat owner myself i was completely _ needs to be done? as a cat owner myself i was completely appalled | needs to be done? as a cat owner l myself i was completely appalled to see the video, the sheer level of violence that occurred as was showing towards his cat is completely disgraceful. —— that kurt

event which has plenty of thrills and spills. unfortunately she did not manage to make the semifinal. only the top two go through. she finished third in her quarterfinal. she had been in brilliant form, first in her opening knockout event, but you can see how tight it is. four snowboarders out there jostling for position, you can see how tight it is out there, shoulder to shoulder racing, she was in the lead at one point, going really well but all four of them really tight at the end battling for those places which would have seen them go through to the semifinal. unfortunately for her, she was not able to take one of those and it will be disappointing. we have seen the mixed curlers, they were not able to get the medal they so desperately craved, and some of the other british athletes have not been able to produce performances just yet. charlotte bankes will be disappointed because she is world

gales is in the north of the country. we have had some snow showers down to low levels last night across parts of scotland. we have got a weather front which is pushing southwards. some sunshine coming through, still showers across wintry lower levels. a breezy day for all of us. don't forget the gales across the northern western isles in particular. these are the tip it is today. —— temperatures. this is the weather front leaving, taking the cloud with it. an area of low pressure comes on across the north of scotland, it is potent and will bring some rain, sleet and snow. snow to lower levels as well.

gales or severe gales. there will be blizzard conditions across some of the hills across northern scotland. it will be a cold night with the risk of ice where we have got a lying snow. not as cold as we push them towards the south where we have a weather front which will clear tomorrow. then we will see some sunshine coming on behind it. low pressure in the north claiming from the north of scotland, taking the gales with it. —— clearing from the north of scotland. then we will see a return to sunshine and showers, some will be wintry. we could see some will be wintry. we could see some at lower levels and heavier bursts across scotland but mostly in the hills across northern ireland and northern england. it will feel cold. these are the temperatures, across the uk. add on the wind chill and it will feel colder than that. it will feel more like —3 in the north of scotland. they wrap up warm. the rich of high pressure will

build across us, but then we have cold air ensconced across our shores. a widespread frost to start on friday, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and a lot of sunshine. through the day, the cloud will build in from the west. the breeze will strengthen and by the evening we will see some rain coming in to the west. and it is going to be cold day again. thank you very much. vinyl record sales in the uk are at the highest point for 30 years — but with only a handful of vinyl manufacturing plants, demand is outstripping supply. a team of entrepreneurs noticed this gap in the market and launched a new site in middlesbrough, which aims to produce 50,000 records a month. leejohnson reports. for many music lovers, vinyl can become an obsession. but for the team at press on,

it's also the chance to fill a big gap in the market. recorded quite a few artists, we wanted to put a compilation out on vinyl. and we've looked around everywhere and the lead times were really long back then. and even in 2019, we couldn't have got it done within five months which meant it would not have been done in time for christmas. so that got our brains going, and thought, how come it's so hard to get records manufactured and delivered to you? making records is a complex process. first, a master cut, grooves and all, is produced. that is then copied, and moulded, before it's pressed, and set aside to be packaged. there are only a handful of plants like this in the uk. most records are manufactured in europe. but demand is outstripping supply. vinyl is enjoying an incredible revival. last year, more than 5 million lps were sold, that's an increase of 8% on the previous year. and one in four albums sold last year was on the format. that's its highest sales

for more than 30 years. fitting, then, that this new teesside plant is also a nod to the northeast�*s heritage of making records. a0 years ago, rca records in washington produced lps by artists including elvis presley and david bowie. for press on's managing director, there was only one place they wanted to be based. middlesbrough is everything we're about. we all care passionately about the area. it is important that it's here. we've got a rich heritage and a rich history of manufacturing and creativity whether it be in industry or chemicals or pottery, and now we have got computer game manufacturers, as we've seen. so we are proud of that and we are proud to be a part of it. and that's good news for local bands like teesside group comparison, whose debut ep was the first off the production line. it's crazy, to be honest. to see it physically happening, it kind of set in stone how lucky we all, like, as the band we all are to have this opportunity. the vinyl revival shows

good morning, disappointment for gb's good morning, disappointment for gb's big medal hopes, snowboarder charlotte bankes. as great gb�*s big medal hopes, snowboarder charlotte bankes. as great britain awaits the first medal in beijing. your starter for ten. tributes to quiz master bamber gascoigne, who has died. we look at how university challenge inspired a generation. we inspired a generation. have a band of cloud and rai moving we have a band of cloud and rain moving south across england and wales and as it does we will see a return to sunshine, some showers and gales in the north and west. all the details later. it's wednesday, the 9th of february. the west ham manager david moyes has defended his decision to select kurt zouma against watford last nightm while police are investigating footage of him kicking his pet cat, which we aren't showing you. the french international was booed by fans at the london stadium, following the release of a video

showing the 27—year—old, hitting, showing the 27—year—old hitting, dropping and kicking his cat across the floor. tim muffett reports. crowd boos. boos directed towards kurt zouma. he played in last night's match against watford, despite widespread condemnation of a video shared on social media. after the game, west ham manager david moyes had this to say. i'm a human being and i'm also a great animal lover. so i understand how people feel. but again, as i said, i am the football manager here and i have to find a way of getting the results here. and kurt zouma is one of the key players to us. kurt zouma has issued an apology about the incident.

what he has done is sickening. to watch _ what he has done is sickening. to watch the — what he has done is sickening. to watch the video was awful. he should be prosecuted, he should be sacked. i am amazed west ham played him last night _ i am amazed west ham played him last night it_ i am amazed west ham played him last night it is_ i am amazed west ham played him last night. it is basically condoning what _ night. it is basically condoning what he — night. it is basically condoning what he has done and saying we will let you _ what he has done and saying we will let you off. — what he has done and saying we will let you off, that is fine. if he assaulted _ let you off, that is fine. if he assaulted a human being, he would not have _ assaulted a human being, he would not have played, so why is he playing — not have played, so why is he playing just because he is an animal? _ the rspca has said it has received a number of messages about the video and that it will look into any complaints that were made. isa is a cat owner i was appalled to see the video, the level of violence kurt zouma showed towards his character is disgraceful. while he apologised, at blue cross we would like to see in prosecuted because it is such a serious case of animal

cruelty. former player ian wright described kurt zouma as a "coward" on twitter. and presenter gabby logan said she would have got rid of a player who kicked and hit an animalfor laughs. essex police has said it is looking into the matter following reports that the incident might have taken place in the county. the charity carers trust is calling for greater support and recognition from the government for the millions of unpaid carers in the uk, who provide vital help for loved ones in need. the charity says many unpaid carers often have to juggle their responsibilities with work, and need access to respite breaks and a carer�*s allowance. the government says it is investing up to £25 million to fund new schemes and improving existing measures, but many carers say they need more help. £67 is nothing. you know, we're doing a job, we should be treated as if we are doing a job. i'm doing over 100 hours of caring a week. it's not enough money.

and when you're hit by disability before retirement age, you haven't built up the reserves that you might expect. my pension, my work pension, is shot to bits. a conservative party donor has told bbc news that borisjohnson's leadership is "past the point of no return". john armitage — a billionaire financier — said the current situation in government was "tremendously upsetting" and that the tory party needed to "remake itself". mr armitage has also donated money to three labour mps. if you do something or say something which on the front page of the sunday times looks terrible, and you do that consistently, and you betray a sense of not really caring, i think you should leave. and i find the lack of honour inherent in modern politics incredibly distressing.

in response, a conservative spokesperson said, "the government remains fully focussed on delivering for the british people." a cross—party group of mps says the uk's exit from the european union has so far only led to increased costs, paperwork and border delays for businesses. a report by the public accounts committee has warned ministers more needs to be done to ease the administrative and cost burden. the mps also urge the government to be "honest about the problems rather than overpromising". the government says it is ensuring businesses get the help they need to trade with europe and elsewhere. health minister gillian keegan has apologised for what she's described as an error ofjudgement after continuing a meeting despite a positive covid lateral flow test. the conservative mp was speaking to the 3 dads, who have each lost their daughters to suicide. we spoke them on the programme yesterday. the minister was told the result during the meeting but carried

on with what she describes as "precautions". great britain's hopes of winning olympic gold have been dashed this morning, as favourite charlotte bankes was eliminated at the quarter—final stage of the women's snowboard—cross. kat downes was watching the action from beijing and joins us now. this is hugely disappointing. we had high hopes for her. yes. this is hugely disappointing. we had high hopes for her.— high hopes for her. yes, it feels like this winter _ high hopes for her. yes, it feels like this winter olympics - high hopes for her. yes, it feels like this winter olympics has i high hopes for her. yes, it feels| like this winter olympics has yet high hopes for her. yes, it feels . like this winter olympics has yet to ignite for team gb. the curling team yesterday, the world champions in mixed doubles curling, fails to win the bronze medal, and 24—hour is later, a favourite for an olympic title, charlotte bankes, the reigning world champion, she was racing brilliantly this morning, coming through the heats in first position all morning. wearing the red paper. that is the leader's

redmere, which is when you know you are coming into the quarterfinal as the fastest. this was the quarterfinal and she was out in front, leading for much of it. she seemed to maybe have to do last minute correction coming down the sharp corner. that allowed the canadian and american through and charlotte bankes, you can see how close it was on the line, but her dreams of an olympic medal lost at the quarterfinal stage and as you can imagine, hugely disappointed when she was talking afterwards. i don't know what happened. it's frustrating to do it today. i've had a great season so far and kind of it's my worst result of the season. and having that at the olympics is tough. i'm just sorry for everybody that was watching and also all the team around me. we've worked so hard to get this far. yeah, it's tough for all that.

really disappointing for her. do we have any other hopefuls we can look forward to? the have any other hopefuls we can look forward to? , have any other hopefuls we can look forward to?— forward to? the sliding sports, we have enjoyed _ forward to? the sliding sports, we have enjoyed success _ forward to? the sliding sports, we have enjoyed success in _ forward to? the sliding sports, we have enjoyed success in sliding - forward to? the sliding sports, we. have enjoyed success in sliding with lizzy yarnold and laura deas. they have yet to begin. the bobsleigh, they had a world cup season that was good. there are other hopes. the curling, the men's and women's team are still in contention. they are just about getting under way in the men's and women's team competition. let me fill you in on how the boa rdercross let me fill you in on how the boardercross vinyl finish. it ended with a brilliant story. you might remember lindsey jacobellis in with a brilliant story. you might remember lindseyjacobellis in 2006, she was coming over to win the gold medal, started celebrating and showboating and crashed over the line and did not win the title. this

year, 16 years later, she came through in the final to win the gold medal. that is olympic redemption. disappointment for charlotte bankes, but a great end to the event. here's carol. let's find out what is happening with the weather because it will be cold in the coming days. you say there has been no snow but there will be real snow in beijing through the weekend. we have snow in the forecast and snow drops. you can see clear skies in lincolnshire. a fair bit of cloud pushing steadily south with outbreaks of rain. allowing a lot of sunshine behind. there will be showers that will be wintry at low levels in parts of scotland and higher ground in northern ireland and england. gales across northern and western isles today. we have had gusts up to 70

mph. these are maximum temperatures. 13 in london is way above the average of eight at this time of year. overnight, the weatherfront move south. we have an area of low pressure coming our way which will bring snow even at low levels in scotland in the north, but it will also bring gales, so blizzards in the hills in the north of scotland. and the risk of ice. some of the snow will get down to the southern uplands through the night. tomorrow we start with low pressure that moves away taking the gales and rain with it. showers behind but a fair bit of sunshine. the weather front clearing, meaning we will be in colder conditions. a day for wrapping up warm. adding on the wind—chill, especially in the north,

it will feel subzero. a year ago, shirley hepworth was given the devastating news that her four—year—old daughter beau has high—risk neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer. since then, beau's been undergoing various treatments and recently the family have been raising money for a specialist clinical trial in new york, and they've been overwhelmed with support from their local schools in west yorkshire. let's take a look at beau's journey. # you are my baby... beau sings. # and you are my baby. # every time, every time #.

wow. well done. we'rejoined now by beau and her mum shirley and also from westminster by their mp kim leadbeater. lovely to see you. beau is not feeling brilliant this morning so we will let her sit on your knee. tell me about how you got to this point in herjourney so far. she me about how you got to this point in herjourney so far.— in herjourney so far. she was diagnosed — in herjourney so far. she was diagnosed with _ in herjourney so far. she was diagnosed with high - in herjourney so far. she was diagnosed with high risk- diagnosed with high risk neuroblastoma in 2020. we have had a year of gruelling treatment. the front line treatment for neuroblastoma is relentless and unforgiving, but it is absolutely necessary to treat the disease. so we have had that the last year. she has had chemotherapy, she has had

stem cell harvest, major abdominal surgery, stem cell transplant, radiotherapy, immunotherapy. they radiotherapy, immunothera py. they have radiotherapy, immunotherapy. they have stopped at nothing. she has two more immunotherapy sessions left and she will finish front line treatment at the end of april. it is she will finish front line treatment at the end of april.— at the end of april. it is a lot to for ou at the end of april. it is a lot to for you and _ at the end of april. it is a lot to for you and had _ at the end of april. it is a lot to for you and had to _ at the end of april. it is a lot to for you and had to go _ at the end of april. it is a lot to for you and had to go through. | at the end of april. it is a lot to - for you and had to go through. the diaunosis for you and had to go through. ire: diagnosis must be for you and had to go through. iie: diagnosis must be heartbreaking. it has been an horrific yeah. me personally, people tell me they think i am strong. but i am carried by the strength of beau, and my other daughter red, who has been amazing. 3 other daughter red, who has been amazinu. �* . . , amazing. a challenge with this dia . nosis amazing. a challenge with this diagnosis is — amazing. a challenge with this diagnosis is the _ amazing. a challenge with this diagnosis is the treatment - amazing. a challenge with this diagnosis is the treatment has| amazing. a challenge with this i diagnosis is the treatment has to amazing. a challenge with this - diagnosis is the treatment has to be aggressive, it has to be relentless. why is it like that? the type of cancer it is, and it is probably the

same with other cancer, but you become an expert in the one your child has. i did not know about oncology before this. but they do not give it a chance to grow. for instance, when she had major abdominal surgery they gave her two weeks before starting high—dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant, which is the most terrific part of the treatment because it is so brutal. ladle terrific part of the treatment because it is so brutal. we can brina in because it is so brutal. we can bring in your— because it is so brutal. we can bring in your local _ because it is so brutal. we can bring in your local mp - because it is so brutal. we can | bring in your local mp listening because it is so brutal. we can i bring in your local mp listening to that. i am sure as an mp you get a lot of letters from constituents who are worried and need help. what was it about this that made you reach out? , ., ., ., ~ it about this that made you reach out? ,., ., ., ~ it about this that made you reach out? ,., ., ., . ., out? good morning. when i saw what ha--ened out? good morning. when i saw what happened to — out? good morning. when i saw what happened to beau _ out? good morning. when i saw what happened to beau and _ out? good morning. when i saw what happened to beau and surely - out? good morning. when i saw what happened to beau and surely i - happened to beau and surely i thaught— happened to beau and surely i thought we need to do something to help this _ thought we need to do something to help this family. this could happen to any— help this family. this could happen to any family, anyone's child or grandchild. it resonated. ialso

campaign. this campaign is what has given me the strength. he gave me strength to sit down and post the first post. that was us putting ourselves out there because we did a year of not putting anything on social media. we just got on with it. and that is me putting it out there. the success of the campaign is down to the community. everybody has been so amazing. they have jumped on the back of it and recognised that beau, a child of that community, they have done everything. the things people are doing and sacrifices they are making to get on board with this. to do everything _ to get on board with this. to do everything they _ to get on board with this. to do everything they can. _ to get on board with this. to do everything they can. tell - to get on board with this. to do everything they can. tell us - to get on board with this. to do i everything they can. tell us about the trip to new york. you mentioned the trip to new york. you mentioned the vaccine. what do you hope that might be able to do? iitlul’ith might be able to do? with neuroblastoma, _ might be able to do? with neuroblastoma, her- might be able to do? ii neuroblastoma, her treatment has gone well. it has been gruelling but it has gone well. the problem is at the point of diagnosis the children

journey, notjust mine. i am very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album that was about something so personal to me. the star also gave a laid—back performance of i drink wine on a set that echoed the las vegas shows she so recently postponed. # how come both become a version of the person we don't even like? # how come we both become a version of the person we don't even like? but there was no reference to that setback as she took to the stage in london, sometimes with a little difficulty. what do i do? how do i get down there with two things in me hand? thank you. but not as much difficulty as anne—marie. luckily, she recovered enough to keep performing and, after she came off stage, she tweeted, "didn't need my left ankle, anyway." meanwhile, ed sheeran opened the show, playing his number one hit bad habits with the sheffield rock band bring me the horizon. ed was also named songwriter of the year, while billie eilish won best international artist.

billie eilish! thank you, guys, so much. i am so honoured and feel so lucky to be awarded this — again. best new artist went to rapper a little simz and her mum. mum, look at what you've done, mum. best rap act went to dave. i want to say thank you to all of the artists that are in the same field as me, the rappers that have suffered for years and years and years and years and broken down so many barriers in this industry that i'm in right now. and rolling stone ronnie wood gave sam fender the award for best rock act. my favourite, sam fender! cheering. but the person who appreciated winning the most was becky hill. she picked up best dance artist. i was always somebody that nobody really knew who i was and there will still be to this day people

who sit on their sofa and go becky who? and this, for me, is proper recognition that i'm doing the right thing and i'm not necessarily wasting my life. in the first year without male and female categories, women prizewinners outnumbered men by three to one and adele had something to say about it. i understand why the name of this award has changed, but i really love being a woman and being a female artist. i do. mark savage, bbc news. she had a great night. and making a point. a great album. yes. you are not so sure? i have not listened to all of it. good. you're watching breakfast. still to come. your starterfor 10 now as we remember the wonderful quizmaster bamber gascoigne with the actor griff rhstones

who famously played him when "the young ones" created their own "university challenge". we'll also chat to his great friend and university challenge contestant, the journalist john simpson. i was not disagreeing with you, by the way. you will get me in trouble. time now to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. the mayor's announced that every young londoner in need of support will have a personal mentor by 2024. that includes those who've been excluded from school or college, those living in poverty and those in the care system, roughly 100,000 in total. the mayor says the aim is to put young people at the heart of london's recovery from the pandemic. a new report shows that britain's housing crisis is significantly damaging young people's mental health. it was commissioned by the housing association, metropolitan thames valley housing and found three in five young people believe their current accommodation

is affecting their mental health. it's particularly bad in london where high house prices and a lack of affordable housing mean young people in particularfind it difficult to buy or rent property. a new exhibtion opens at the v&a this weekend telling the story of the children's author beatrix potter. in partnership with the national trust, it features rarely seen objects, including personal letters, early sketchbooks and drawings from some of her most famous books, including the tale of benjamin bunny. the bbc turns 100 this year and to celebrate we're telling the stories of amazing people. one of those is marlene johnson, a head nurse at st george's hospital. as well as caring for her staff and patients, marlene helps to run a food bank in croydon. i'm used to seeing sick people in the hospital, and caring for those sick people, they have specific needs. they want to get well, they want to be healed, they want to go home.

but actually in the community, people also want to be healed in a different way. if you are heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. good service on all lines except for the ongoing part closure on the northern line. let's get the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a few changes happening in our weather. today is still looking mild for the time of year but there is a cold front gradually tracking its way south across the country and that's going to introduce a bit more in the way of cloud, may be a few outbreaks of rain but it won't amount to very much. eventually into thursday, some chillier feeling air. but also lots of sunshine for the end of the working week. and then over the course of the weekend, it's set to turn unsettled and milder once more. it's really quite wet and windy on sunday. let's backtrack to this morning, then. a mild start to the day, temperatures in high single figures. quite a bit of early brightness around, some sunshine, lasting longest towards the south, but more cloud spilling down from the north through the morning.

may be a few outbreaks ofjust light and patchy rain, we are set to keep that cloud for the rest of the day. top temperatures above the seasonal average again, 12 or 13 celsius. there's still that westerly wind going on. we will keep those layers of cloud overnight tonight. that rain could pep up for a time, a chilly start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow will begin with lots of cloud but that cloud will clear southward through the afternoon to leave us with some sunshine. maybe one or two afternoon showers, but generally dry and a widespread frost into friday. i'm back atjust after 9am. until then there's plenty more on facebook, instagram and the website. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. it's half—term for millions of families next week and some are heading abroad for their first foreign holiday since the pandemic began. uk travel restrictions will be eased on friday,

making the return journey fairly simple but the rules do vary for different destinations. ben's looking into this one for us today. good morning. absolutely right, it is going to be a lot simpler and a lot nicerfor people is going to be a lot simpler and a lot nicer for people returning to the uk at the end of half term, but there are still some testing and vaccination rules in place and they differ from country to country. good morning. please have your passports and boarding cards ready for me. it may have been quite a while since you heard those words. but after two long years, lots of families are gearing up for their first holiday abroad since the pandemic began. that's because it's half—term for millions next week and because the uk rules are easing on friday. anyone who's fully vaccinated, and all under is—year—olds, can return to the country without any pre—departure or arrival tests. people who haven't been vaccinated will still need to take a day two test and everyone will have to fill in a form. but check the rules at your destination

because lots of other countries still have restrictions in place. some popular holiday spots have put expiry dates on vaccination certificates. if you want to go to spain or france, you will either need a booster or have had your second jab within the last nine months for it to count. if you're heading to italy or austria, your second jab or booster will need to have been within the last six months. something else causing half—term headaches? the entry requirements for children vary from country to country. spain requires all uk travellers over 12 to show proof of vaccination. austria, belgium, france, germany, italy and some us states are also difficult to access for unvaccinated teenagers. then, of course, a few places are still totally closed to uk travellers. countries like australia and japan. all of that means holiday companies are seeing more interest in places

where the rules are simpler like mexico and turkey. but that's not an option for everyone, as our transport correspondent katy austin has been finding out. ben and his family have great memories of the canary islands. they were looking forward to making more last year, but restrictions forced them to postpone to this february. now, children over 12 need two jabs to enter spain, so the holiday is off. unfortunately, the i2—year—old has onlyjust turned 12, so doesn't have his second vaccination yet. so we cancelled, only cancelled a few days ago, we thought we would hold out until the 1st of february in case anything changed. but unfortunately we had to pull the plug. ben is far from alone. travel agents say lots of people want to go away at the moment, but they're having to keep their customers informed of an ever—changing international patchwork of covid rules. spain, including the canaries, is usually a half—term hit. you can get a little bit

of heat, wear your shorts, sit outside and eat. the rule barring over 12s with only one or no vaccinations is having a big impact. 50% of our bookings were moved because actually, it's for families. they'll move destinations or move dates and plan for easter. it's a headache for tourism businesses in the canaries. they want the spanish government to relax the restrictions because many brits are heading for places like turkey or mexico instead. in tenerife, we have 2.5 million british citizens every normal year. when we talk about christmas, when we talk about february, we are talking about nearly 30% of the business. so that brings this loss to be nearly 1000 million euros if we do not take those measures out. from friday, it will get a lot easier to come into the uk. fully vaccinated travellers no longer to have to take any covid tests to enter this country. but people planning trips overseas still really need to know what the rules

are at their destination. because every country has its own requirements. and notjust for entry. in france, over 16s need a pass showing proof of vaccination to access certain activities including getting a ski pass. unvaccinated 12 to is—year—olds can take daily tests. tour operators still expect a bumper easter and summer, but many families who hoped for winter sun are having to wait a little longer. katy austin, bbc news. worth remembering of course that lots of families are really struggling with the cost of living at the moment. so, any holiday abroad is out of the question. there's a wider point here though. the travel industry yesterday said covid restrictions caused a £7 billion hit to the uk economy last year. this half—term is a chance to recoup some of those losses, but the recovery might just take

a little longer than first hoped. thank you very much. olympic champion tom daley is obviously no stranger to hard work in the gym or the pool — but soon he's taking on a gruelling, new challenge to raise money for comic relief. it sounds really gruelling. tom's with our reporter fi lamdin at the london aquatics centre this morning, so let's find out more. good morning. at the london aquatics centre, the pool of champions, that is written at the end of the pool. we are with one of the biggest champions. goodman, tom. goad champions. goodman, tom. good mornina! champions. goodman, tom. good morning! we _ champions. goodman, tom. good morning! we are _ champions. goodman, tom.
