good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today: thousands are without power and many face travel disruption after storm dudley hits the uk — and there's a warning of worse to come. on friday morning we have storm eunice coming our way, that will bring dots of 60—70 mph across parts of england and wales, more than that along the coast and in the northern half of the country we will see significant snowfall and some blizzards so all this is likely to lead to some disruption.

senior officials in the us cast doubt over russian claims it's moving troops away from the border with ukraine. as it's confirmed children aged between five and 11 across the uk will be offered covid vaccines, we look at the thinking a call for quicker help for the victims of the post office software scandal. mps say the government must speed up compensation for all sub—postmasters wrongly accused of theft. it's advantage liverpool in the champions league. they've taken a big step towards the quarterfinals, after a battling victory at the home of the italian champions, inter milan. it's thursday the 17th of february. our top story: there has been some horrendous weather overnight. heavy rain and strong winds have battered parts of the uk overnight, bringing down trees, railway cables and power lines. thousands of people

were without power in the north of england and scotland where trains have also been cancelled. the met office has issued a danger to life warning ahead of a second, more powerful storm which is due to hit tomorrow. jean mackenzie reports. ferocious winds flipped vehicles in their tracks and on the rail tracks in wales, it was a flyaway trampoline causing chaos. across the north—east of england thousands of people have been left without power and it's unclear when all supplies will be restored. i'm just bring my grandma some lights, some emergency lights. my nan is partially sighted as well so it's a bit dangerous for her. how are you coping? not too bad. i'll have a vodka later and i'll be all right. . i've missed all my soaps, mind. but in this house the electric bottle making machine has been missed the most. we've had to make a bottle the old way and he's been screaming for about an hour while we've been doing that. he's all right.

it's a good thing we've got candles because it doesn't seem like a lot of people do. others took to their cars to keep warm. we just run about trying to get warmed up because there's obviously no heating, so on we go. across the uk people, bewildered, have taken to social media to document almost supernatural events. this in cumbria, a waterfall in reverse. at this beach in county down, sand on the run. and here a football turned boomerang. on the railways, falling trees have damaged overhead cables, meaning yesterday's disruption is expected to continue for much of the day. people are being urged to check before they travel, but storms and disruption are becoming all too normal. here in gateshead, taylor's neighbour's roof was ripped off by storm malik a couple of weeks ago and last night's howls made him jittery.

every time you hear a little bit of wind, even if it's nothing major, you get worried and think what's going to happen now, but yeah, it's all right. but storm dudley is just a precursor. people are being told to prepare for worse. storm eunice is arriving on friday. she could bring even stronger winds and possible blizzards. today offers a very brief calm between the storms. jean mackenzie, bbc news. been a horrible night. our correspondent danjohnson is in county durham for us this morning. most of the wind has now gone through but you are left with the impact which is now power. that's ri . ht, impact which is now power. that's right. there _ impact which is now power. that's right, there are _ impact which is now power. that's right, there are thousands - impact which is now power. that's right, there are thousands of - impact which is now power. triat�*s right, there are thousands of homes that have been affected by power cuts, some were reconnected last night but northern grid says across the north over 1a,000 properties

were without power at some point. he reckons 10,000 of those have got power restored but we are still talking about 4000 houses awaiting power and this is one community in county durham that has had cold and dark homes throughout the night and i was talking to those people just up i was talking to those people just up the road last night who were struggling to feed themselves, they were a lot of harm takeaway delivery is arriving last night, they were the real heroes, relatives bringing food and torches and battery lights for people to try to get through the evening, people struggling to feed their babies. there were people spending time outside in their cars because the cars were warmer than the houses and people weren't getting much of an idea how long it would take to reconnect power. some were told to expect reconnection last night, some were told it could be well into this afternoon and for

some of these people this is what they went through a couple of weeks ago and it might be the third time for them. �* . , ., ., ., for them. and a first time tomorrow because we — for them. and a first time tomorrow because we were _ for them. and a first time tomorrow because we were expecting - for them. and a first time tomorrow because we were expecting another| because we were expecting another storm. struggling to smile, it's been horrible. if you have been affected and have any photos or videos of how your property has been affected, let us know. we will be keeping up with that story with reporters out and about. the foreign secretary has urged the west not to be lulled into a false sense of security by russia's claims that its forces are pulling back from the border with ukraine. liz truss has made the comments ahead of a trip to ukraine this week. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. adam, what will the foreign secretary be hoping to achieve from the visit? there has been so much diplomacy and rhetoric. , ., .,

rhetoric. there will be more over the next few _ rhetoric. there will be more over the next few days _ rhetoric. there will be more over the next few days because - rhetoric. there will be more over the next few days because liz . rhetoric. there will be more over. the next few days because liz truss has headed off to ukraine and then she will stop off in poland and spend a weekend at a security conference in germany attended by lots of bigwigs thinking big thoughts about the future of the world and also the crisis in ukraine and she has the right messages today which he has backed up in an article in the telegraph, first this idea that russian troops and tanks are pulling back from the ukrainian border, it looks like the uk does not believe that is meaningful, she says the troop build—up is still there and is still something to worry about so that was a bit of false hope early in their wake. her second point which she thinks this could last for months, so we should get used to this situation and russia will be using that period as an opportunity to test the strength of the western alliance. her third point was that this isn't just about russia and ukraine, where that is important she says this is an

element in the international system and if the uk and its allies allow russia to intimidate ukraine, other countries will feel they are able to intimidate other countries so making the bigger point that it's notjust about the crisis in that region at this point but we will be hearing more from liz truss over the next few days and last night boris johnson spoke to the secretary general of the united nations because the un security council will discuss the situation today, don't you wonder how far that discussion can get because on the security council art russia and their allies china. ~ . ., ., let's speak now to our kyiv correspondent, james waterhouse. all this talk about de—escalation but what is the reality in ukraine? ukraine's government says it has a route not to believe what you hear

from russia when it makes the statements but what you say. president zelensky took part in the unity day tour yesterday, touring the country and that helicopter, appearing in green uniform watching his army conduct military drills, a continuation of this show of strength. he addressed soldiers, described them as heroes and people not frightened by forecast. many were predicting an invasion would happen this week, notably yesterday. that did not materialise, as far as ukrainians are concerned they don't believe these carefully choreographed russian statements that they are pulling back from military drills as planned. as far as they are concerned it's military drills as planned. as far as they are concerned its business as they are concerned its business as normal. it's not a nice business but it is a prevention of further escalation. there is that continued uncertainty and it interesting hearing jens stoltenberg, the boss

of nato talking about this not only being a crisis but being the new normal for russia is willing to use military force to challenge this traditional european security order. what can we read from that? this crisis may drag out a lot longer than we think.— crisis may drag out a lot longer than we think. at least 94 people have died in landslides and flash flooding in the brazilian city of petropolis. the city, which is located in the mountains north of rio dejaneiro, was hit with more than a month's worth of rain in just a few hours. it's being reported that the prince of wales would be "happy" to help a metropolitan police investigation into an alleged cash—for—honours scandal involving his charity. the investigation relates to claims that "offers of help" were made to secure honours and british citizenship for a billionaire saudi donor. clarence house says prince charles had no knowledge of the allegations. the labour mp andy mcdonald has said

he intends to raise whether public money will be used to pay for prince andrew's legal settlement. the duke of york has agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to his accuser virginia giuffre. he's always denied the allegations and hasn't admitted liability. mr mcdonald says the questions over the money are unlikely to go away until the public has answers. there's speculation the total legal bill could be in the region of £12 million. i'm going to take the opportunity to raise this in parliament because the issue isn't going to go away until people have that information and receive assurances that public money is not going to be used to in any way contributed to the settlement. schools in england are being given official guidance on how to tackle controversial political and social issues in the classroom. the education secretary, nadhim zahawi, says no topics are off limits, but teachers must be impartial and not promote contested theories as fact.

the new guidance will help them navigate issues such as the israeli—palestinian conflict and the legacy of the british empire. if you've ever had a picnic or an "alfresco" meal ruined by dive—bombing seagulls, we've got the perfect spot for you. it is rather a long way, though. this is the popular bar and restaurant area near sydney opera house, where dogs are now on patrol to chase off hungry gulls. it's not working, is it? oh, maybe. one restaurant owner said aerial attacks on their customers' food had reduced by 80% since the patrols began. what's more annoying, the seagulls or the dogs racing around chasing them? have you been dive—bombed? every year i have to go down to cornwall, it's never been this bad before but it always is.

i would like to see it try. people get terribly injured. don't get between me and a bag of chips. maybe we just send now get out. like a patrol. we have problems in coastal communities and on land and it will get worse tomorrow, we need to pay extra attention to carol, we are always listening but were listening to good and hard today. if listening to good and hard today. if you have plans for tomorrow you might want to reconsider them. storm dudley packed a punch yesterday, some large waves coming in, wind speeds between 50 and 60 mph. this morning the winds are slowly starting to come down, this is an idea what kind of gust you can expect if you are heading out now so still gusty and throughout the day the wind will continue to ease. we

have a weather front across the north of scotland producing rain and snow, another one across northern ireland, england and wales heading east that is also producing rain and snow on the hills and a lot of dry weather, temperatures 5—12 so an improving picture but you can see behind make this area of rain. storm units will come our way through the night so if we pick up the charts tomorrow at 5am we have all this rain spreading steadily north and some significant snow across northern ireland, northern england and scotland, as much as 10—30 centimetres. the higher totals will be on higher ground but we will see this on low levels as well. it will be windy tomorrow because of storm units, not as windy in the north but there will still be blizzards on the hills and drifting snow, same for northern ireland and northern

england, further south gusts of 69 around manchester, 64 around birmingham, but it's the coastal regions, west wales and the coast of south—west england, we could have 90 mild and hour gusts of wind, potentially 100 miles per hour and inland we will see gusts of 60—70, potentially 80 mph gusts. these are damaging gusts of wind, likely to cause disruption, if you have travel plans you might want to consider these, there will be flying the breeze and huge waves coming onshore, they will bring stuff onto the shore line so probably not a good day to go there and i will keep you updated on all of this throughout the morning. i you updated on all of this throughout the morning. i think the overall message _ throughout the morning. i think the overall message to _ throughout the morning. i think the overall message to every _ throughout the morning. i think the overall message to every one - throughout the morning. i think the overall message to every one is - throughout the morning. i think the overall message to every one is to l overall message to every one is to try to stay safe at this moment in time. carol, thank you so much. such a huge area, it's unusual to have such a big area covered by one

storm. all this week, we've been hearing some of the shocking stories of those caught up in the post office computing scandal. this morning, a group of mps says the government must do more to ensure everybody involved is properly compensated. ben's taking a look at this. we understand that compensation process is going through but it is now time, it needs to be done quickly. now time, it needs to be done cuickl. ,, .._ now time, it needs to be done cuickl. ,, quickly. especially when you consider how _ quickly. especially when you consider how long _ quickly. especially when you consider how long this - quickly. especially when you consider how long this has l quickly. especially when you - consider how long this has been hanging over the people caught up in that who have been fighting to prove their innocence for years. this is to make sure they are compensated quickly but fairly. it's been called the most widespread miscarriage ofjustice in british legal history. more than 700 sub—postmasters were wrongly convicted of stealing thousands of pounds from their post offices. it was all to do with the post office it system, known as horizon, which was faulty and kept recording cash shortfalls. sub—postmasters like gillian raised concerns but were ignored. she found out she was

being prosecuted on her daughter's wedding day. on the morning of their wedding day, as we were leaving, the cars were outside and we were all ready for leaving, the postman had made a delivery, a recorded delivery and they said you've got to open it, mum. i said no, hayley, we know who this is from. she said mum, you cannot leave, you've got to open it and i did and it was the letter to say they were prosecuting me. worst day of my life. we we re we were all robbed of that wedding day. gillian was speaking there at the public inquiry. it's looking at whether the post office knew about the fault and why staff were left to shoulder the blame. 72 sub—postmasters have so far had their names cleared

with more to follow. anyone whose convictions have been overturned will be in line for a payment of up to £100,000 — which the post office has promised to pay as soon as possible. but a group of around 500 others who took a lower settlement from the post office earlier in this process aren't currently eligible to apply for the full compensation. this morning, a group of mps is calling for changes. let's speak to one of them — labour mp darrenjones, the chair of the business select committee. why is it some people are frozen out of these compensation payments? this initial a-rou of these compensation payments? this initial group of claimants, the so-called _ initial group of claimants, the so—called 555 who brought this issue to court_ so—called 555 who brought this issue to court to _ so—called 555 who brought this issue to court to expose this huge miscarriage ofjustice entered into a settlement agreement when they got compensation which blocked them from having _ compensation which blocked them from having access to future compensation but what _ having access to future compensation but what that has meant is there is a 555_ but what that has meant is there is a 555 who — but what that has meant is there is a 555 who have allowed all these other_ a 555 who have allowed all these other victims to come forward to

the telegraph has the royal story but it leads on those comments by the foreign secretary liz truss, warning of the need for caution over russian claims to be withdrawing troops from the ukrainian border. and the guardian has a spectacular weather picture on its front page. that's blackpool looking particularly bracing yesterday. of course carol is going to keep us up of course carol is going to keep us up to date with that throughout the morning. just had a message from tommy, we were talking about dive—bombing seagulls, he said he was dive—bombed inside brighton train station, had a bacon sonic nicked off his lap so it's notjust outdoors we have to be careful. more than 14,000 men in england who don't know they have prostate cancer are being urged to come forward for treatment. new figures show it accounts for a third of cancers not treated due to the pandemic. our health correspondent dominic hughes has been to meet two people whose lives have been touched by the disease. he was my best friend. he was and he will always be my best friend.

literally we used to say we were each other�*s twin, we had the same mindset and we were very, very close so it's very difficult without him. danielle wasjust 25 when her dad johnny died after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. he was only 63. they were really close so losing her dad to a disease that, if caught early enough, is very treatable has been hard to take. his diagnosis came as a shock so it was in 2015. he did have some symptoms, now i realise, probably must have started a couple of years beforehand. but for that diagnosis you just don't think it's ever going to happen to you, you don't think it's going to affect your family. johnny died two years after being diagnosed. the charity prostate cancer uk and the nhs are both worried there could be thousands of men who are living with the cancer but don't yet know it. since april 2020 more than 58,000 men have begun treatment

for prostate cancer but that's 14,000 fewer than would have been expected when compared with pre—pandemic numbers. one in eight men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. men over 50, black men and those with a history of it in their family are at even greater risk. my dad's 80th there. that was the case for andrew. that was after the operation. his dad had lived with prostate cancer for years. then in 2020 a routine screening blood test revealed some worrying signs and a prostate cancer diagnosis soon followed. his advice for other men now is simple. don't just sit there thinking it will be right like i did, there could be something happening there and one thing i found out since about prostate cancer is that it's very aggressive and once it takes hold of the rest of your body it canjust be a chasing game. i was very lucky, i didn't need any radiotherapy, didn't need any chemotherapy. the operation did it for me.

for andrew the road to recovery has been hard at times but he's now back to running and playing five—a—side. a simple blood test saved his life. i think i've used all my luck up in one go and if that's the only luck i'm going to have in my life, i'll take that. one disease, two very different outcomes but the same message for thousands of men thought to be living with prostate cancer. where i am now in life compared to what the alternative could have been, it's a no—brainer. if anyone is worried about it, just go take a test. raising awareness now is key to recognising the symptoms and get treatment if you do have cancer, it's to get that early treatment and save your life. dominic hughes, bbc news. an important message and we will hear later from

an important message and we will hear laterfrom a an important message and we will hear later from a gentleman who an important message and we will hear laterfrom a gentleman who had no symptoms, went for a test and now is being treated but he has an important message for all of us. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. the mayor is calling on health workers to play a greater role in informing patients about the risk of london's air pollution and how to protect themselves. sadiq khan is meeting with health and environment officials and campaigners later at a clean air summit. it's thought they'll also discuss pollution alert systems and updated guides on health impacts in each borough. citizens advice is calling on the communications watchdog ofcom to investigate royal mail's performance, after more than a third of londoners suffered postal delays over christmas. the charity says willesden and upminster, as well as chelmsford in essex, were among the worst affected areas in the country with some bills and medical documents missing for eight weeks.

royal mail says services are now much improved and were hit by staff off sick or isolating with covid. the history of stonehenge is being explored at a major new exhibition opening at the british museum today. it features more than 400 artefacts to help explore the human stories behind the wiltshire monument and what it was used for. in the exhibition, we showed there was no one stonehenge, there were actually several different monuments built at different times and it meant different things to different people, so we were really able to tease apart, thanks to new discoveries, a more fine—grained story of stonehenge and get that across in the exhibition. travel now. no northern line between moorgate and kennington due to ongoing works. there are major disruptions to

thames links strains from st pancras after a tree fell on overhead power lines. no trains until 7am and then a reduced timetable. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. a very blustery day of weather yesterday with gusts of wind just over 50 miles an hour in the london area but worse is yet to come tomorrow from storm eunice. the met office have issued a amber weather warning, the second highest level of alert valid from three o'clock tomorrow morning until nine o'clock in the evening and there could be gusts of wind of around 70 up to 75 mph, possibly a bit higher in more exposed locations and that's enough to cause some widespread disruption and tricky travelling conditions of cause and possibly some flying debris as well. today though, not quite so windy but a very blustery start to the morning and gusts of around 40 to 45 miles an hour through the first half of the day and a mild start to the morning with temperatures in the high single figures. there will be some early brightness around then we see this band

of showery rain and some cloud through the middle part of the day and they will be some brightness following on behind. a brisk south—westerly wind, of course, but that eases down to the end of the afternoon with temperatures still in double figures and we are still in the mild air and not as high as they were yesterday. we start off with fairly light winds overnight tonight and then storm eunice will barrelled him from the west and we start the day with winds gusting up to 40 or 45 miles an hour and the worst of the winds are likely to be around lunchtime. keep an eye on the forecast. i'm back in half an hour. lots more over on our website at the usual address, now it's back tojon and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. coming up on the programme this morning. we'll be finding out everything you need to about covid jabs for 5—11—year—olds as all uk nations approve them.

but it was firmino, off the bench, to score the opener. a deflection helped salah with the second. 2—0 the winning score. it was second in the premier league versus second in serie a. first place for liverpool, but with the second leg still to play. in women's international football, 8 nations are in spain, playing for the pinatar cup, and reigning champions scotland, have been knocked out by wales, star of the show wasjess fishlock, who helped them turn the game around, with a couple of goals, in the 3—1victory. wales will face slovakia or belgium in the semi—final. hopes of that elusive first medal for team gb at the winter olympics in beijing have been raised, in the half pipe free style skiing, thanks to a really impressive display, by british teenager, zoe atkin. she cruised into the final, qualifying in fourth place and says she may include some fresh tricks, in tomorrow's final, which she hopes will push her into the medal

positions. she was born in america, and is the sister of izzy atkin, who won britain's first olympic medal on skis at the last games. i was really nervous. sometimes qualifying can be even more nerve—racking than finals. so, ijust wanted to put it down and after i'd laid down the first round i thought, oh, the pressure is off. and i put an extra trick in there that i hadn't trained just to try it, and i'm really happy that i landed it and i'm in the finals tomorrow. and britain's gus kenworthy has just made into the men's final by the finest of margins. his second run, was much improved on his first, when he'd fallen and he had a nervous wait before discovering he'd got the final qualifying spot for saturday's final. later this morning team gb have a huge chance of guaranteeing a medal. the men's curling team have their semi final against the usa.

and they're the form team, warming up for the semi, with yet another win, this time over canada, in theirfinal round robin match to finish top of the group. so the brits, have only lost, one of their nine matches, so far, but that was to the united states, whom they face, just after 12 today. they are better now than when they face the _ they are better now than when they face the usa in the round robin because — face the usa in the round robin because they are top of the group, the tails _ because they are top of the group, the tails are up and they have the momentum and that is everything in sport— momentum and that is everything in sport so— momentum and that is everything in sport so we — momentum and that is everything in sport so we will know by about half past one _ sport so we will know by about half past one today when the team gb are guaranteed _ past one today when the team gb are guaranteed a medal because if they make _ guaranteed a medal because if they make the _ guaranteed a medal because if they make the final, they will get gold or silver. — make the final, they will get gold or silver, so the usa is at noon. how— or silver, so the usa is at noon. how many— or silver, so the usa is at noon. how many days have we got left of the games?— how many days have we got left of the names? , ., ., ,, ._ the games? they go to sunday. the women are — the games? they go to sunday. the women are struggling _ the games? they go to sunday. the women are struggling to _ the games? they go to sunday. the women are struggling to make i the games? they go to sunday. the women are struggling to make the i women are struggling to make the semifinals of the curling. a couple of hopes— semifinals of the curling. a couple of hopes may be in the bobsleigh for

look at the weather. absolutely. they caused problems yesterday and then today and then eunice comes tomorrow. you can see this huge wave at troon caused by storm dudley, if you look at this, 100 miles an hour and it's very high, so that's not terribly surprising. also high at 85 mph but as we come toward sea level still 50 or 60 mph, damaging gusts of wind at that. this morning we have rain and snow across parts of scotland so there is the risk of ice for a while and bear that in mind there is the risk of ice for a while and bearthat in mind if there is the risk of ice for a while and bear that in mind if you're heading out early on. and as we go through the course of the day, all of that will be continuing to push steadily northwards and we are looking at gusty winds to start the day, not as strong as yesterday or the early part of last night and the wind will slowly be tempering as we go through the course of the day and a weather front is pushing

north—east and will have rain and snow in it and there will be showers across scotland and another weather front coming in across northern ireland, wales and england will introduce some showers but there will be a lot of dry weather today and in its improving picture, temporarily improving picture and temperatures between five and 12 degrees. but you can already see storm eunice waiting in the wings. eunice is a potent storm and intensifying rapidly and will be coming in in this direction from the south—west towards the north—east ringing snow, and if you look at the southern flank, very tightly packed isobars and will be windy so we start with the snow through tomorrow and it moves with the snow which covers northern ireland, scotland and northern england and we will have between ten and 30 centimetres, which will be largely on the higher ground but some of the snow will fall at lower levels, especially across scotland so these black circles represent the strength of the wind and it will not be strong across scotland but nonetheless it

will still blow and drift in the same for the hills of northern ireland and northern england. there will be blizzards for some on the hills and also drifting off the snow generally and as we come further south, these represent the wind gusts we will see further south and the met office has an amber weather warning in force and it does mean that there is an increased risk of impacts due to the severity of the weather and in this case it is the wind, so widely in land we are looking at 60 or 70 miles an hour gusts of wind and 80 is also quite possible and along the west coast of wales and the south—west coast of england, here we are looking at potentially 90 miles an hour but even possibly 100 miles an hour. this is going to be disruptive and damaging and you will find your travel arrangements will be delayed or changed or cancelled altogether and there could be flying debris, power cuts and in the north of the country with the snow falling on power lines it could potentially bring some of them down so there

could be some power cuts for you as well, so a lot going on with the weather and the storms for the next couple of days. we will come back to later because it is changing the time. 5—to—11—year olds in england will now be offered a low—dose covid vaccine, to help prevent a very small number of children becoming seriously unwell. the health secretary sajid javid says the rollout will be "non—urgent", as advised by thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. in the uk, the welsh government was the first to announce it would be offering jabs to young children on tuesday. but it wasn't long before the other nations followed suit. on wednesday — scotland went first, followed by england and northern ireland. and with the roll out there's an emphasis on parents choosing whether to get their children vaccinated. it it is estimating that vaccinating it it is estimating that vaccinating 1 million children would prevent 98

hospitalisations with the next wave was more severe, like previous early variance of covid and 17 hospitalisations if the next wave was relatively mild, like omicron. in a moment we're going to be speaking to our regular gp, dr nighat arif — but first she's been taking a personal look at the impact of long covid in children. i've been in touch with a respiratory consultant whose own child has long covid. jasmine was ten when she originally came down with covid and it was just over 12 months ago and she just never really recovered. before, she was a really healthy, happy child who was really active and now she is requiring a wheelchair to mobilise distances outside of the house, so it's been absolutely devastating. i don't feel good. she says the lack of research is frustrating. i think we all know what happens when we as a country get behind something like we've seen with the vaccination roll—out and vaccination

development, but we're just not seeing that same urgency when it comes to the treatment of long covid. today, i'm going to see zara, a teenager with long covid. i want to find out more about her symptoms and how she is coping. good job. so, zara, so lovely to see you with maureen. so talk me through when you got covid. i got covid late june last year. had you not had the vaccine yet? not at that time. tell me what it's been like since you had covid and the after effects of it? i think fatigue is the biggest one. you are so tired that you cannot get up, and sometimes it's even a struggle getting out of bed. i have brain fog and headaches, really bad headaches, they feel like they are squeezing your brain. every day for school, i've got up, got changed and sometimes i've made it down stairs and seeing whether i am well enough to go to school on, and it's very rare that i am. and dr nighatjoins us now.

i don't understand, why us? so how has it been in the last nine or ten months since your ian passed away. it has been hard because it was so sudden and we weren't expecting it. i still miss him and i think i always will. money raised by comic relief helped to pay for the training of bereavement counsellors who work with children before and after a parent dies. i thought i was failing matilda as a parent because i was dealing with my own grief and i didn't know how to support her, so balloons were very supportive in helping her, which helped me, really. they've helped me because i had someone to talk to and it's been helpful like that. they are talking about the future and what the future is going to be like. your donations will help ensure that when times are tough more children like matilda get access to the mental health support that they need. there are other projects

that now need your help. tom has only had nine hours recovery time and is in that room up there, still asleep and we are trying to keep our voices down so he can get as much sleep and he will quickly have some breakfast and then join us out here at 8:30am. it's pretty windy, but hopefully less windy than yesterday. this is where he will be setting offjust yesterday. this is where he will be setting off just after 8:30am, yesterday. this is where he will be setting offjust after 8:30am, there will be and all sorts, so make sure you see him and join us at 8:30am as tom sets off on the final leg of this journey. tom sets off on the final leg of thisjourney. brute tom sets off on the final leg of thisjourney— tom sets off on the final leg of this journey. tom sets off on the final leg of this 'ourne . ~ ., , ,., , , this journey. we absolutely will be with ou. this journey. we absolutely will be with you- grab _ this journey. we absolutely will be with you. grab a _ this journey. we absolutely will be with you. grab a cup _ this journey. we absolutely will be with you. grab a cup of— this journey. we absolutely will be with you. grab a cup of tea - this journey. we absolutely will be with you. grab a cup of tea and i this journey. we absolutely will be | with you. grab a cup of tea and get warm because i think it's going to get more blustery. keep yourself sorted and nice and warm as well. that is where he got married. the hotel where he got married. a special location as he heads home to plymouth. time now to get the news, travel and weather where

you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. the mayor is calling on health workers to play a greater role in informing patients about the risk of london's air pollution and how to protect themselves. sadiq khan is meeting with health and environment officials and campaigners later at a clean air summit. it's thought they'll also discuss a review of pollution alert systems. citizens advice is calling on the communications watchdog ofcom to investigate royal mail's performance after more than a third of londoners suffered postal delays over christmas. the charity says willesden and upminster, as well as chelmsford in essex, were among the worst affected areas in the country, with some bills and medical documents missing for eight weeks. royal mail says services are now much improved and were hit by staff off sick or isolating with covid. the history of stonehenge is being explored at a major new exhibition opening at the british museum today.

it features more than 400 artefacts to help explore the human stories behind the wiltshire monument and what it was used for. in the exhibition, we show there was no one stonehenge, there were actually several different monuments built at different times and it meant different things to different people, so we were really able to tease apart, thanks to new discoveries, a more fine—grained story of stonehenge and get that across in the exhibition. travel now. no northern line between moorgate and kennington due to ongoing works. other lines appear to be running as normal at the moment. and there's major disruption to thameslink trains from st pancras international after a tree fell on overhead power lines yesterday — no trains till at least 7am and then a reduced timetable in place. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. a very blustery day of weather yesterday with gusts of wind just over 50 miles an hour in the london

area but worse is yet to come tomorrow from storm eunice. the met office have issued a amber weather warning, the second highest level of alert valid from three o'clock tomorrow morning until nine o'clock in the evening and there could be gusts of wind of around 70 up to 75 mph, possibly a bit higher in more exposed locations and that's enough to cause some widespread disruption and tricky travelling conditions of cause and possibly some flying debris as well. today though, not quite so windy but a very blustery start to the morning and gusts of around 40 to 45 miles an hour through the first half of the day and a mild start to the morning with temperatures in the high single figures. there will be some early brightness around then we see this band of showery rain and some cloud through the middle part of the day and there will be some brightness following on behind. a brisk south—westerly wind, of course, but that eases down towards the end of the afternoon with temperatures still in double figures and we are still in the mild air and not as high as they were yesterday. we start off with fairly light winds

overnight tonight and then storm eunice will barrel in from the west and we start the day with winds gusting up to 40 or 45 miles an hour and the worst of the winds are likely to be around lunchtime. keep an eye on the forecast. if you have a story we'd love you to get in touch. email hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today: thousands are without power and many face travel disruption after storm dudley hits the uk with 100mph gusts — and there's a warning of worse to come. tonight and tomorrow we have storm units crossing our shores with widespread damaging gusts of wind, as much as 80 mph on land, more than

that on the coast and in the north of the country we will have significant snowfall and the potential for some blizzards, significant snowfall and the potentialfor some blizzards, all likely to lead to some disruption. senior officials in the us cast doubt over russian claims that it is moving troops away from the border with ukraine. it's advantage liverpool in the champions league. they've taken a big step towards the quarterfinals, after a battling victory at the home of the italian champions, inter milan. we meet the 85—year—old grandad who has found fame performing duets with his grandaughter on tiktok. it's thursday the 17th of february. our top story: heavy rain and winds of more than 100 mphhave battered parts of the uk overnight, bringing down trees, railway cables and power lines. thousands of people

were without power in the north of england and scotland where trains have also been cancelled. the met office has issued a danger to life warning ahead of a second, more powerful storm which is due to hit tomorrow. our correspondent dan johnson reports. here on the a6 96 near northumberland in strong winds flipped this is gv on its side while in wales it was a flyaway trampoline bringing disruption to the rail network. across parts of scotland and the north of england, thousands were left without power. i’ee and the north of england, thousands were left without power.— were left without power. i've 'ust run m were left without power. i've 'ust my gram fl were left without power. i've 'ust my gram at i were left without power. i've 'ust run my gram at some i were left without power. i've just run my gram at some emergency lights. run my gram at some emergency lirhts. ,, �* , run my gram at some emergency lirhts. ,, �*, ., , run my gram at some emergency lirhts. ,, �*, ., i, lights. she's partially sighted so it's a bit dangerous. _ lights. she's partially sighted so it's a bit dangerous. how- lights. she's partially sighted so it's a bit dangerous. how are i lights. she's partially sighted so| it's a bit dangerous. how are you coin: ? it's a bit dangerous. how are you coping? not— it's a bit dangerous. how are you coping? not too _ it's a bit dangerous. how are you coping? not too bad. _ it's a bit dangerous. how are you coping? not too bad. i _ it's a bit dangerous. how are you coping? not too bad. iwill- it's a bit dangerous. how are you coping? not too bad. i will have| it's a bit dangerous. how are you | coping? not too bad. i will have a vodka later— coping? not too bad. i will have a vodka later and _ coping? not too bad. i will have a vodka later and i _ coping? not too bad. i will have a vodka later and i will _ coping? not too bad. i will have a vodka later and i will be - coping? not too bad. i will have a vodka later and i will be all i coping? not too bad. i will have a vodka later and i will be all right. | vodka later and i will be all right. i've vodka later and i will be all right. we missed — vodka later and i will be all right. i've missed all my soaps. in vodka later and i will be all right. i've missed all my soaps.- i've missed all my soaps. in this house it was _ i've missed all my soaps. in this house it was getting _ i've missed all my soaps. in this house it was getting the - i've missed all my soaps. in this house it was getting the baby i i've missed all my soaps. in this| house it was getting the baby fed that was the biggest issue.

no, all these homes in county durham have been without power all night and they are among 4000 across the north of england still without power this morning. we understand at some point last night at northern power grid said that 14,000 homes were without electricity but they have managed to reconnect about 10,000 but still thousands of people who had been without light and heat during a very cold and blustery night so it wasn't just during a very cold and blustery night so it wasn'tjust coronation street people were missing, we were seeing people having food delivered to their homes because they could not cut, you saw that couple struggling to feed their baby, people bringing torches and battery lights trying to look after relatives who were stuck in the dark for many hours and some with no information about how long it would take to reconnect them. these people are still not sure when their

heating and lighting will come back and they are among thousands across the north of england and the south of scotland and for some of these people it's the third time this has happened this year and there is potential for even more disruption to our with another storm which could bring more trees down onto power lines, bringing more disruption and trains have been affected, disruption to the main east and west coast train routes and some of the local rail networks in this part of the northeast have also been affected by the storms. i guess it's affected by the storms. i guess it's a case of using this brief pause between the two storms to try to get things fixed. thank you for now. the foreign secretary has urged the west not to be lulled into a false sense of security by russia's claims that its forces are pulling back from the border with ukraine. liz truss has made the comments ahead of a trip to ukraine this week. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. adam, what will the foreign secretary be hoping we have seen liz truss make trips

before and we have seen the diplomatic effort be ramped up. more meetings on the cards to date but what will reassure us? this meetings on the cards to date but what will reassure us?— meetings on the cards to date but what will reassure us? this is more diloma what will reassure us? this is more diplomacy along — what will reassure us? this is more diplomacy along a _ what will reassure us? this is more diplomacy along a similar— what will reassure us? this is more diplomacy along a similar track- what will reassure us? this is more diplomacy along a similar track to i diplomacy along a similar track to what they have been doing already so this combination of supporting the ukrainian government, sending a strong message to russia and trying to build up the deterrence so vladimir putin sees the cost of a military invasion of ukraine. the main message from the foreign secretary as she heads off to ukraine and then poland and then a security conference in germany over the weekend is that this apparent pull—back of russian forces from the ukrainian border doesn't seem to be real, that was a bit of false hope, second she warned this crisis could last several months. it might not be overin last several months. it might not be over in a couple of days or weeks, even though we could see an escalation in a couple of days or weeks, and she makes the broad point that this isn'tjust

weeks, and she makes the broad point that this isn't just about russia versus ukraine but all about how much is the uk and its other allies, france, germany, the us, willing to defend other countries in the face of aggression from their opponents so it is as much an issue about russia is about iran, china and north korea and those are the points she will make over at the next few days. the prime minister last night spoke to the australian prime minister and the secretary general of the un, there will be a meeting of the un, there will be a meeting of the un, there will be a meeting of the security council in new york but difficult to see how much they can achieve when russia and china are important members of that organisation. so are important members of that organisation.— are important members of that orranisation. ., , , ., organisation. so all this diplomacy, what the reality _ organisation. so all this diplomacy, what the reality on _ organisation. so all this diplomacy, what the reality on the _ organisation. so all this diplomacy, what the reality on the ground i organisation. so all this diplomacy, what the reality on the ground in i what the reality on the ground in ukraine? let's speak now to our kyiv correspondent, james waterhouse. james any signs of de—escalation there?

ukrainians have been expressing their relief as well as scepticism online about all this talk of russian troops pulling back as planned from these military drills. every ukrainian we spoke to yesterday in kyiv doesn't buy it, and ministers say the same, they say they have a rule when russia make such statements not to believe what we hear but what we see. it's fair to say it has been a strange week in the capital or you have had some predicting an invasion would happen, notably yesterday, ukraine's government instilled called a day of unity with national flags everywhere and president zelensky toured the country in a green military uniform, he met troops and called them heroes and people who were not frightened by forecasts, so he's continuing this town of camp but visuals are starting to change, he is starting

to show some strength, he witnessed military exercises himself but some political commentators here think as well as what you have just heard from traore, we are in it for the long haul, they are expecting russia to use its military muscle to base themselves on the border for some time to keep making the point to the west that it doesn't want ukraine to join nato. one russian diplomat wants nato to say it publicly, no sign of that happening but for many ukrainians it means that uncertainty and frankly tiredness is set to continue. , . , ., , , continue. james, life for us in kyiv and we will _ continue. james, life for us in kyiv and we will speak— continue. james, life for us in kyiv and we will speak to _ continue. james, life for us in kyiv and we will speak to the _ continue. james, life for us in kyiv and we will speak to the uk's i continue. james, life for us in kyiv l and we will speak to the uk's armed forces ministerjames cp on breakfast in about 20 minutes and try to get any intelligence he might have received about activity in ukraine. at least 94 people have died in landslides and flash flooding in the brazilian city of petropolis. the city, which is located in the mountains north of rio dejaneiro,

was hit with more than a month's worth of rain in just a few hours. it's being reported that the prince of wales would be "happy" to help a metropolitan police investigation into an alleged cash—for—honours scandal involving his charity. the investigation relates to claims that "offers of help" were made to secure honours and british citizenship for a billionaire saudi donor. clarence house says prince charles had no knowledge of the allegations. the labour mp andy mcdonald has said he intends to raise whether public money will be used to pay for prince andrew's legal settlement. the duke of york has agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to his accuser virginia giuffre. he's always denied the allegations and hasn't admitted liability. there's speculation the total legal bill could be in the region of £12 million. i'm going to take the opportunity to raise this in parliament because the issue isn't going to go away until people have that information and receive assurances that public money is not going to be

used to in any way contribute to this settlement. the time is 7:12am and we need to checkin the time is 7:12am and we need to check in with carol, a look at the weather because it's been horrible so far and is threatening to be even worse in the next 24 hours? it could prove to be worth more widespread. yesterday wester dudley we had pictures like huge waves, dudley�*s wind speeds are now starting to come down but these are the current ones so you can see still gusting 56 mph and barry had 43 mph. we have rain and snow across the north of scotland, snow showers at low levels in other parts of scotland and throughout the day the weather front moves from the

south—west to the north—east, we will get that for wales and northern england but temperatures between five and 12 degrees in the first signs of storm eunice waiting in the wings, that will come our way through the night so by tomorrow morning you can expect rain and significance now moving across northern ireland, scotland and northern england. these are the snow depths we are looking at, 10—30 centimetres, 30 centimetres largely on higher ground but we will see some snow at lower levels. wind speeds will not be as high across scotland as further north but it still means blizzards on the hills and drifting snow, and we will have drifting snow in northern ireland and northern england. as we come further south you can see the gusts of wind we are looking at but they are variable, the met office has an amber weather warning in force, this

has increased impact due to the severity of the weather and we are talking about winds, inland breezy gusts at 70 or even 80 mph and along the west coast of wales and also the south—west of england along the coast, we could have gusts of 90 mph, possibly100 coast, we could have gusts of 90 mph, possibly 100 so widespread disruption and damage is likely and as we have been hearing in the news already, disruption to travel so if you have travel plans tomorrow, maybe reconsider them. thank you, carol. a dramatic picture. carol. a dramatic picture. carol was talking about the disruption to travel. our correspondentjames shawjoins us now from glasgow. james, what's the latest? like carol was saying, storm dudley

has definitely passed through, that pavements are still wet and you can see what's left of the overnight rain but this guy still looks great and the main impact is on travel services. outside central station, about 40 minutes ago when i looked at the departures and arrivals board, everything was cancelled, every service, local and cross—border services, more recently in the last 20 minutes it looks like some services are starting to get up and running, some are still delayed. we do know that services between glasgow and edinburgh are still running so that's an important commuter route in the central belt and then there is the impact on ferries, the first sailing from the town of oban on the west coast to the island of mull and also services between the mainland and the isle of arran. we haven't heard about power cuts and that is potentially good

news given the extraordinarily high winds in some places, 70 mph in parts of north ayrshire and lanarkshire, up to 101 at alnwick more north of ben nevis so we will perhaps get an update on whether people had been affected in terms of power supplies later in the day but at least for the moment that situation appears not as bad as it might have been.— situation appears not as bad as it might have been. james, thank you. you look after _ might have been. james, thank you. you look after yourself. _ there's expected to be disruption to the road networks across parts of scotland and northern england today. and in other parts of the uk tomorrow. tony rich from the aa joins us now. thanks for wearing that badge, that always helps. how was it looking this morning? hat always helps. how was it looking this morning?— always helps. how was it looking this morning? not too bad at the mornin: this morning? not too bad at the morning but _ this morning? not too bad at the morning but when _ this morning? not too bad at the morning but when people i this morning? not too bad at the morning but when people get i this morning? not too bad at the morning but when people get up| this morning? not too bad at the l morning but when people get up to this morning? not too bad at the i morning but when people get up to go to work that's when the disruption will really start, so i would say to people to be prepared, make sure you have plenty of fuel, if you have an

electric vehicle plenty of charge because you could be facing diversions so if you normally use country lanes or rural roads, we suggest keeping to main roads because if there are trees down or whatever, the main roads will be the roads that are serviced first rather than country lanes and there's more hazard on those roads. you than country lanes and there's more hazard on those roads.— hazard on those roads. you could think about _ hazard on those roads. you could think about the _ hazard on those roads. you could think about the extra _ hazard on those roads. you could think about the extra time i hazard on those roads. you could think about the extra time it i hazard on those roads. you couldl think about the extra time it takes but if you just end up stopping for an hour because there has been an accident, what should you have in your car anyway? accident, what should you have in your caranyway? in accident, what should you have in your car anyway?— accident, what should you have in your car anyway? in an ideal world ou your car anyway? in an ideal world you would — your car anyway? in an ideal world you would have — your car anyway? in an ideal world you would have something - your car anyway? in an ideal world you would have something warm i your car anyway? in an ideal world | you would have something warm to wear, if you were going to switch engine off so you could stay warm, a flask may be some snacks or whatever, but keep them in the boot because it's best not to dip into them too early. but if you will is them too early. but if you will is the main thing because your stress levels will already be raised

because you are delayed when you didn't expect to be so if you are looking at the fuel gauge and the light is coming on and that's just extra stress you don't need. lloathed light is coming on and that's 'ust extra stress you don't need. what is the etiquette. _ extra stress you don't need. what is the etiquette. if _ extra stress you don't need. what is the etiquette, if you _ extra stress you don't need. what is the etiquette, if you are _ extra stress you don't need. what is the etiquette, if you are stuck i extra stress you don't need. what is the etiquette, if you are stuck and l the etiquette, if you are stuck and that happened to me not long ago, stuck on the motorway, there was an accident and i was stuck for an hour and a half and it was freezing cold outside, so do you keep the engine going? i had an extra coat sol could put detente and then i saw people getting out of cars and chatting because they weren't moving anyway, so it was 45 minutes and what is the etiquette? if anyway, so it was 45 minutes and what is the etiquette?— anyway, so it was 45 minutes and what is the etiquette? if you were in a stationary _ what is the etiquette? if you were in a stationary position _ what is the etiquette? if you were in a stationary position on - what is the etiquette? if you were in a stationary position on the - in a stationary position on the motorway, getting out of the car is really at the last thing you want to do because there could be emergency services coming through, police motorbikes that you will not see, you will either be in the way or start a risk of getting injured so stay in the vehicle. if you're thinking about the environment, switch the engine off but health

would have to come before that because you don't want to be protecting the environment and then freezing, so... protecting the environment and then freezing. s0- - -_ protecting the environment and then freezing, so... common sense. carol said what's — freezing, so... common sense. carol said what's unusual _ freezing, so... common sense. carol said what's unusual about _ freezing, so... common sense. carol said what's unusual about this - freezing, so... common sense. carol said what's unusual about this set. said what's unusual about this set of storms is you have two of such magnitude back—to—back with only a few hours in between. would that be the challenge for the emergency services to get out and do the repairs and clear roads before the next one heads charisma the people attending, so the road repair crews and companies like ourselves, we also have to get there, so if there are delays, we are delayed as well. so that window between the two storms is vital for the cruise to get there and get the area cleared and may be doing the same again on saturday. and may be doing the same again on saturda . . , ., , ., and may be doing the same again on saturda . ., , ., , ., , and may be doing the same again on saturda . ., , ., , ., saturday. have you brought loads of extra staff in? _ saturday. have you brought loads of extra staff in? we _ saturday. have you brought loads of extra staff in? we are _ saturday. have you brought loads of extra staff in? we are well- extra staff in? we are well resourced _ extra staff in? we are well

it's kind of crazy to look at myself now and think oh, my god, i've got my dream job, i've got a flat, i've got a girlfriend, two cats and a family. the couple, who are both 2a, support reform of scotland's gender recognition act to make it less intrusive. you need to have so much evidence, it's really invasive and it puts you in a position of being mentally and physically exhausted with having to do it. but zac feels it's important to be sure. i definitely support it. i think people who are younger, they need to explore themselves. they need to get to know themselves. like, i didn't even know whatjob i wanted to do when i was 16. some people might not even know that, let alone what gender they wanted to sit in for the rest of their life. in a poll commissioned by the bbc, more than half of those questioned were in favour of making it easier to get a gender recognition certificate. a fifth opposed it, but on some of the specific proposals, opinion was more finely balanced. there were almost equal levels of support and opposition for allowing transgender people

to self—identify by removing the requirement for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria. 44% of those questioned opposed reducing the time someone must have lived in their gender identity from two years to six months. 37% supported it, and a slight majority opposed reducing the legal age a person can transition from 18 to 16 orjust under a third were in favour. the survey also suggests more support than opposition for transgender people to access single sex spaces, such as changing rooms. 35% said they should be able to do so only if they'd legally changed sex and had a gender reassignment surgery. 28% said this should be allowed even if they had not had surgery. for some people, this is a fundamental and polarising issue with protests on both sides. we believe this proposal should bring in self—identification will mean that we will not be able to confront any male that is in

within our changing rooms. we might actually be breaking the law, be perceived as being transphobic by questioning why a male was there as they were. they willjust stand up and say, oh, but i self—identify as a woman, i am allowed to be in this space. already access services like rape and domestic violence support. we have no concerns about the proposed reforms. we know that trans women access women's services anyway. we do not believe there are any proposed changes in the bill that will impact on single sex spaces, which already operate on a basis of self—id. the scottish government is likely to bring this bill to parliament in the next few weeks. some people have clear and strongly held positions on this issue, but this poll suggests many others are undecided. lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh.

the history of stonehenge is being explored at a major new exhibition opening at the british museum today. it features more than 400 artefacts to help explore the human stories behind the wiltshire monument and what it was used for. in the exhibition, we show there was no one stonehenge, there were actually several different monuments built at different times and it meant different things to different people, so we were really able to tease apart, thanks to new discoveries, a more fine—grained story of stonehenge and get that across in the exhibition. travel now. no northern line between moorgate and kennington due to ongoing works. other lines appear to be running as normal at the moment. and there's major disruption to thameslink trains from st pancras international after a tree fell on overhead power lines yesterday. a reduced timetable is in place. just one train an hour at the moment. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini.

good morning. a very blustery day of weather yesterday with gusts of wind just over 50 miles an hour in the london area but worse is yet to come tomorrow from storm eunice. the met office have issued a amber weather warning, the second highest level of alert valid from three o'clock tomorrow morning until nine o'clock in the evening and there could be gusts of wind of around 70 up to 75 mph, possibly a bit higher in more exposed locations and that's enough to cause some widespread disruption and tricky travelling conditions of cause and possibly some flying debris as well. today though, not quite so windy but a very blustery start to the morning and gusts of around a0 to 45 miles an hour through the first half of the day and a mild start to the morning with temperatures in the high single figures. there will be some early brightness around then we see this band of showery rain and some cloud through the middle part of the day and there will be some brightness following on behind. a brisk south—westerly wind, of course, but that eases down towards the end of the afternoon with temperatures still in double

figures and we are still in the mild air and not as high as they were yesterday. we start off with fairly light winds overnight tonight and then storm eunice will barrel in from the west and we start the day with winds gusting up to a0 or 45 miles an hour and the worst of the winds are likely to be around lunchtime. keep an eye on the forecast. i'm back in an hour. lots more over on our website at the usual address. now it's back tojon and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. the foreign secretary has warned the west should not be lulled into a false sense of security by russian claims that its troops are pulling back from the border with ukraine. let's talk about this with the minister for the armed forces, james heappey. thank you for talking to us this morning. what is the situation at the border? i’m

large waves will come our way especially the course of wales and south—west england. this morning we have snow and rain across scotland and the risk of ice on untreated services and we also have showers in northern ireland and northern england and some of them are wintry on the hills and although dudley�*s strongest winds are easing we still have gusty winds first thing this morning as well as that we have a weather front draped across the north of scotland which is introducing a lot of rain and also some snow, even at lower levels and we have snow showers coming down across other parts of scotland and rain moving in across northern ireland and also across england and wales which is pushing north—east through the day. temperature is about five in lerwick up to 12 in london. you can see behind me the first signs of storm eunice in the shape of some rain and it comes in from the south—west and will be

pushing steadily north—east taking notjust rain but significant snowfall and gusty winds that we were telling about. first thing in the morning this is what you can expect. the rain will push north—east and snow coming in across northern ireland, scotland and also northern england, as much as ten or 30 centimetres with 30 centimetres largely being on higher ground. it will not be as windy across scotland as it will be across the rest of the uk but it is still going to be windy so there will still be blizzards on the hills with drifting snow as well and the same for the hills in northern ireland and northern england and you can expect blizzards and some drifting and as we come further south, these are the gusts of wind we expect and as you will already know, they are variable but the met office does have out this amber weather warning for tomorrow. storm eunice and that means an increased likelihood of impact due to the severity of the weather. inland, we are looking at gusts of

between 70 or 80 miles an hour which is quite unusual and towards the coast, with exposure, 19, potentially 100 miles an hour so widespread disruption and damage is likely and travel disruption is inevitable and you could find trees coming down, branches coming down, flying debris, that kind of thing. but as we saw, storm eunice will move away quickly and as we head into the weekend we've got other fronts coming our way bringing some rain, but look at what happens on sunday. once again, another deep area of low pressure looks like it will cross the north of scotland and sunday is set to be another windy day. it doesn't stop. keeping you busy. as long as everyone is safe. that is the main thing.

if you thought tik tok was just for cool young people, think again. i don't do it but i'm aware of the phenomenon and i have heard about it. an 85—year—old grandad has found global fame on the social media platform — performing duets with his granddaughter. his name isjohn tucker. more than four million people have watched his videos and now he's been asked to star on american tv. andrea ormsby has been to meet him. # wise men say only fools rush in... hanging with her grandad, 22—year—old singer songwriter yazzy and her 85—year—old grandad are attracting a lot of attention with their singing. it's been pretty crazy. i didn't expect the response, but obviously i love grandad, so i knew everyone else would love grandad. the pair started singing together during lockdown whenjohn couldn't get to choir practice. from the day i was, born,

i think i was in a choir. we were born methodist, singing carols, songs and hymns, and of course, they were the most beautiful hymns in the book and that is how it started. now one of their duets has gone viral. it's one of our most recent videos on tiktok which is a cover of hallelujah and has hit 4.5 million views which is really crazy. # it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth — # the minor falls, the major lifts... well, i don't think it's really sunk in yet. i mean, that's a lot of people, isn't it? if i could see them in front of me, i don't know what i would do. theirfame is spreading with an appearance on television in the usa. this granddaughter and her-

grandfather in the united kingdom are showcasing their beautiful voices and beautiful bond. - so many people around. the world are seeing this and really loving your videos. # but i can't help falling in love with you... this grandad and granddaughter plan to keep singing together for as long as they can. now you can do it. followjohn tucker. well done, john, you heard him here first. irate tucker. well done, john, you heard him here first.— tucker. well done, john, you heard him here first. we have changed the back round him here first. we have changed the background a _ him here first. we have changed the background a bit _ him here first. we have changed the background a bit and _ him here first. we have changed the background a bit and gone _ him here first. we have changed the background a bit and gone to - him here first. we have changed the background a bit and gone to the - background a bit and gone to the night sky. an ancient bronze disc, thought to be the world's oldest map of the stars, will go on display at the british museum today as part of an exhibition on stonehenge. the nebra sky disc, which is widely believed to date back to the bronze age, is considered one of the most important archaeological finds

good morning and welcome

to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today: thousands are without power and many face travel disruption after storm dudley hits the uk with 100mph gusts — and there's a warning of worse to come. the route tonight and tomorrow storm eunice will cross our shores with damaging wind gusts in the southern half of the country, as much as 18 mph, and although the wind won't be as strong in the north, here we will have snout, the risk of blizzards and drifting so disruption is likely. senior officials in the us cast doubt over russian claims that it is moving troops away from the border with ukraine. as it's confirmed children aged between five and 11 across the uk, will be offered covid vaccines, we look at the thinking behind the decision. a call for quicker help for the victims of the post office software scandal. mps say the government must speed up

compensation for all sub—postmasters wrongly accused of theft. tom daley�*s marathon homecoming for comic relief — after three days of rowing, swiming, cycling and running we catch up with him on the final leg of his journey. it's thursday the 17th of february. heavy rain and winds of more than 100mph have battered parts of the uk overnight bringing down trees, railway cables and power lines. thousands of people were without power in the north of england and scotland where trains have also been cancelled. the met office has issued a "danger to life" warning ahead of a second, more powerful storm which is due to hit tomorrow. our correspondent dan johnson reports. here on the a696 near northumberland, strong winds flipped this hgv over on its side,

while in wales it was a flyaway trampoline bringing disruption to the rail network. across parts of scotland and the north of england, thousands were left without power. i've just brung my grandma some lights, some emergency lights. my nan�*s partially sighted as well so it's a bit dangerous for her. how are you coping? not too bad. i'll have a vodka later and i'll be all right. i've missed all my soaps, mind. in this house it was getting the baby fed that was the biggest issue. we've had to make a bottle - the old way and he's been screaming for about an hour while we've been doing that, which is great. - but he's feeding now? yeah, he's all right. it's a good thing we've got candles because it doesn't seem _ like a lot of people do. others took to their cars to keep warm. we're just running about trying to get warmed up because there's obviously no heating, so on we go. and people have been on social media to document events.

in cumbria, a waterfall in reverse. and a sandstorm across this beach in county down. here in scotland, falling trees have damaged overhead cables, bringing chaos to the rail network with disruption expected to last much of the day and now people are being told to prepare for worse to come as storm eunice is set to make landfall overnight. dan is in county durham for us this morning. r , dan. good morning. what the situation like where you are? mil situation like where you are? all these situation like where you are? fill these streets are without power so these streets are without power so these homes have had a very dark and cold night and are waking up this morning without any electricity and they don't know how much longer that will last. northern power grid said

yesterday there were 111,000 houses affected. they have managed to reconnect some of those but by no means all, there are 4000 people still without electricity in the north of england this morning and as we have heard the south of scotland has been badly affected and for some of these people it's the third time this has happened this year because the storms have come again and again and there is potentialfor the storms have come again and again and there is potential for it all to happen again tomorrow so we may see the candles coming back out, relatives bringing food and porches, take away is being delivered because people cannot cut, the television being off and babies being fed the old—fashioned way. it is disrupting life for people in the north of england and scotland and disruption on the travel networks as well. the power companies say teams are out

trying to get people reconnected but lots of work to do and it looks like the disruption could last into tomorrow and throughout the weekend. dan, thanks for bringing us up to date. if you are thinking the sun is shining now and the wind seems to have dropped... but shining now and the wind seems to have dronped- - -— shining now and the wind seems to have dropped... but they haven't got ower. it have dropped. .. but they haven't got power- it will— have dropped... but they haven't got power. it will get _ have dropped... but they haven't got power. it will get worse _ have dropped... but they haven't got power. it will get worse for _ have dropped... but they haven't got power. it will get worse for some - power. it will get worse for some eo - le power. it will get worse for some peeple because _ power. it will get worse for some people because there _ power. it will get worse for some people because there is - power. it will get worse for some people because there is this - power. it will get worse for some | people because there is this other storm coming in. carol can tell us what will happen. today the wind will ease down so there is a bit of a respite because there is a bit of a respite because the next storm is coming our way. storm dudley did pack a punch, we have been hearing gusts of wind of 101 mph, but generally these are the guts we are looking at now so still gusty but starting to ease the route today. we have a weather front across the north of scotland producing shari outbreaks of rain,

some snow showers across other parts of scotland with more shoppers coming in across england, wales and northern ireland, temperatures of five in the north to 12 in the south but by the end of the afternoon you can see the first signs of a storm eunice so tomorrow morning you can see we have rain but also significant snow across northern ireland, northern england and scotland, 10—30 centimetres. 30 will be the totals we see on the tops of the hills, ten or more likely at lower levels and although the wind gusts would be as strong in scotland it will still be windy so there will be blizzards on the hills and mountains and drifting snow and it's the same on the hills across northern ireland and england, expect drifting snow. further south these are the inland wind gusts, unusual for this area to have got this high and the met office still has this

amber weather warning in force, it runs from 3am tonight until 9pm tomorrow, just widely inland between 60, 70, possibly 80 tomorrow, just widely inland between 60,70, possibly 80 mph and tomorrow, just widely inland between 60, 70, possibly 80 mph and with exposure in wales and south—west england, possibly100 exposure in wales and south—west england, possibly 100 so widespread disruption and damage is possible and with the snow in the north of the country, it's wet and sticky snout that will stick to power lines and there is a chance that they could be affected and some could come down so well up to play for. it will move away quickly but still be windy as it clears our shores. is there any chance that amber warning could be upgraded to a full red warning in the next few hours? there is a good chance it could but thatis there is a good chance it could but that is purely a decision for the met office and they will be looking at that and deciding what to do,

because the storm is now going through that cyclogenic process we have been talking about and starting to develop and we will be starting to develop and we will be starting to see the track the storm will take and work will be worst affected by it and with that knowledge they can decide whether this will go red, red warnings are as rare as hens teeth but that's very much up to them. thank you, carol, you have kept us across all the detail and i know you and the bbc weather team will be flat out over the next 2a hours so keep a cross that, everybody, online and on telly and radio. the foreign secretary has urged the west not to be lulled into a false sense of security by russia's claims that its forces are pulling back from the border with ukraine. liz truss has made the comments ahead of a trip to ukraine this week. let's speak to our defence correspondent, jonathan beale. jonathan, what's the latest? you are in brussels where talks are

continuing. we heard from the armed forces minister on breakfast this morning and he said he was deeply concerned about the situation. i think that is shared by nato defence ministers, secretary generaljens stoltenberg made clear russia still has forces in place and is building up has forces in place and is building up those forces and is capable of launching an invasion on ukraine at any time. i was speaking to one senior western intelligence official who said they wanted to see deeds, not words, and that it was time for russia to put that loaded gun, as he put it, back in its holster. the uk defence secretary ben wallace has just arrived and i asked whether he thought the russians were telling the truth when they said they were pulling back forces. i the truth when they said they were pulling back forces.— the truth when they said they were pulling back forces. i think we have seen the opposite _ pulling back forces. i think we have seen the opposite of— pulling back forces. i think we have seen the opposite of some - pulling back forces. i think we have seen the opposite of some of - pulling back forces. i think we have seen the opposite of some of the l seen the opposite of some of the statements, we have seen an increase in troops _

australian media is reporting that the victim of a great white shark attack off the coast of sydney yesterday is a british diving instructor. 35—year—old simon nellist was reported to be in training for an ocean swim this weekend when he was attacked. it is the first fatal shark attack in the australian city in more than sixty years. mr nellist is believed to have grown up in the uk and was engaged to an australian woman. at least 94 people have died in landslides and flash flooding in the brazilian city of petropolis. the city, which is located in the mountains north of rio dejaneiro, was hit by torrential rainfall as wendy urquhart reports. more than a month's worth of rain fell in petropolis in a matter of hours and from the air, the devastation is clear to see. a huge swathe of this city has been washed down the mountainside by horrific landslides, leaving a pile of mud and debris in their wake. at least 400 firefighters, civil defence teams and local residents are working round the clock, desperately searching for survivors. translation: the teams work 24 hours a day. -

they will not stop the search at all. it will continue unless, for technical reasons, it has to stop for one or two hours. but if everything goes to plan, we won't stop at all. around 10,000 poor people built homes on this mountainside because there wasn't enough housing in the area, but they were precarious at best and just not strong enough to survive this kind of deluge. many have lost everything, and some have paid the ultimate price. schools and shelters have been set up to house some 300 people who've been left homeless by the floods, and it might not be over yet. more heavy rain is forecast in the coming days. wendy urquhart, bbc news. it's being reported that the prince of wales would be "happy" to help a metropolitan police investigation into an alleged cash—for—honours scandal involving his charity. the investigation relates to claims that "offers of help" were made

to secure honours and british citizenship for a billionaire saudi donor. clarence house says prince charles had no knowledge of the allegations. the labour mp andy mcdonald has said he intends to raise whether public money will be used to pay for prince andrew's legal settlement. the duke of york has agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to his accuser virginia giuffre. he's always denied the allegations and hasn't admitted liability. there's speculation the total legal bill could be in the region of £12 million. i'm going to take the opportunity to raise this in parliament because the issue isn't going to go away until people have that information and receive assurances that public money is not going to be used to in any way contribute to this settlement. it is 8:15am on thursday morning and some big changes in the way vaccines

are administered across the uk. five to 11—year—olds in england will now be offered a low—dose covid vaccine, to help prevent a very small number of children becoming seriously unwell. the health secretary sajid javid says the rollout will be "non—urgent", as advised by the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation. let's ta ke let's take you through what is happening now. in the uk, the welsh government was the first to announce it would be offering jabs to young children on tuesday. but it wasn't long before the other nations followed suit. on wednesday, scotland went first, followed by england and northern ireland. and with the rollout there's an emphasis on parents choosing whether to get their children vaccinated. why is this being recommended? the jcvi estimates that vaccinating one million children would prevent 98 hospitalisations if the next wave was more severe like previous variants. and 17 hospitalisations if the next wave was relatively mild, like omicron. in a moment we're going to be speaking to our regular gp,

dr nighat arif, but first she's been taking a personal look at the impact of long covid in children. tough two years working through the pandemic. the vaccine roll—out has made a huge difference and that has cut the number of people becoming seriously ill. what i'm seeing now is infections in the unvaccinated. i've been in touch with a respiratory consultant whose own child has long covid. jasmine was ten when she originally came down with covid and it was just over 12 months ago and she just never really recovered. before, she was a really healthy, happy child who was really active and now she is requiring a wheelchair to mobilise distances outside of the house, so it's been absolutely devastating. i don't feel good. she says the lack of research is frustrating. i think we all know what happens when we as a country get behind something

like we've seen with the vaccination roll—out and vaccination development, but we're just not seeing that same urgency when it comes to the treatment of long covid. today, i'm going to see zara, a teenager with long covid. i want to find out more about her symptoms and how she is coping. good job. so, zara, so lovely to see you with maureen. so talk me through when you got covid. i got covid late june last year. had you not had the vaccine yet? not at that time. tell me what it's been like since you had covid and the after effects of it? i think fatigue is the biggest one. you are so tired that you can't get up, and sometimes it's even a struggle getting out of bed. i have brain fog and headaches, really bad headaches, they feel like they're squeezing your brain. every day for school, i've got up, got changed and sometimes i've made it down stairs and seeing whether i am well enough to go to school on,

and it's very rare that i am. addenbrooke's hospital in cambridge is home to one a 15 specialist paediatric hubs are set up to help long covid sufferers. irate paediatric hubs are set up to help long covid sufferers.— long covid sufferers. we can help them manage _ long covid sufferers. we can help them manage those _ long covid sufferers. we can help them manage those symptoms, | long covid sufferers. we can help i them manage those symptoms, the actor will effect the illness is having on their lives, we would look at offering them advice around fatigue management, around pacing activities, around sleep management, sleep hygiene, making sure everything is set up so they can sleep as well as they can. the jcvi have now decided _ sleep as well as they can. the jcvi have now decided that _ sleep as well as they can. the jcvi have now decided that 6 _ sleep as well as they can. the jcvi have now decided that 6 million i have now decided that 6 million children in england aged five to 11 will be offered the jab. the roll—out is expected from april and it's hoped the jabs will increase their protection against severe illness in advance of a potential future wave of covid—19.

let's speak now to professor adam finn, who's a paediatrician and member of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. thanks forjoining us. there will of course, despite some of the messages in that report, be a lot of parents thinking i don't want my child he might only be five years old to be getting a jab. what would you say to them based on what you understand? actually i think it's reasonable for them to feel that way. there are many parents who clearly do want to have their children immunised, children of this age because there is a risk from covid in the future and they may get seriously ill and we do know the vaccine will prevent that but there are equally a lot of parents who feel justifiably that this is a mild illness in the vast majority of children of primary school age, majority of children of primary schoolage, many majority of children of primary school age, many of whom have

already had the infection now and i don't see an urgent need to have them immunised with this vaccine, so them immunised with this vaccine, so the advice we are offering is that those who wish to have their children in the night may do so but those who don't don't need to feel bad about it, it's a reasonable decision to take either way. and decision to take either way. and it's a smaller— decision to take either way. and it's a smaller dose _ decision to take either way. and it's a smaller dose than adults are being given. the it's a smaller dose than adults are being given-— it's a smaller dose than adults are being given. the manufacturers of this vaccine. _ being given. the manufacturers of this vaccine, pfizer _ being given. the manufacturers of this vaccine, pfizer biontech, - being given. the manufacturers of| this vaccine, pfizer biontech, have done trials with a third of the doubt is that we older folks have all received so a ten micrograms dose instead of a 30 micrograms dose. that reduces the rate of side effects, which is great, but it produces an adequate immune response and protection against the virus so it's a lower dose and the uk recommendations will space those doses out by 12 weeks so further apart and what we have seen in older

children and young adults is that spacing those doses are part reduces the incidence of side effects. reduces the incidence of side effects but some parents will still have read about side effects, some rare cases involving instances with children's hearts or adult hearts so what would you say to reassure them? these cases do occur but they're extraordinarily rare and a lower dose and wider spacing seems to make them rarer still so overall on the information we have, assuming there is a future wave of coronavirus infection, the risks children face of serious illness from the virus are greater then the risks of side effects from the vaccine which is why we have made the recommendation we have but we wanted to be as sure as we could be that that balance was in favour of benefit over risk before we made the recommendations and we have got that information now

from the united states where they have been giving younger children the vaccine some time. quite have been giving younger children the vaccine some time.— have been giving younger children the vaccine some time. quite a lot of countries _ the vaccine some time. quite a lot of countries have _ the vaccine some time. quite a lot of countries have been _ the vaccine some time. quite a lot of countries have been doing - the vaccine some time. quite a lot of countries have been doing this. | of countries have been doing this. the united states and israel got going early officer had been able to provide us with safety information we needed. other countries have moved more quickly than the uk. we have been more cautious and in fact throughout the pandemic we have made fast decisions where we could see they need to be made urgently and have gone much more carefully when we could see there was a more narrow risk—benefit balance because above all else the principle that drives us is at first we must not do any harm and being sure about that is what generates the trust we enjoy in this country for our vaccine programmes. i this country for our vaccine programmes-— this country for our vaccine programmes. this country for our vaccine rourammes. , , . ., programmes. i suppose the challenge in persuading — programmes. i suppose the challenge in persuading parents _ programmes. i suppose the challenge in persuading parents for _ programmes. i suppose the challenge in persuading parents for the - in persuading parents for the government will be if you go out and about over the last couple of weeks,

action but that is just one situation where they have managed to sort the problem out. there are lots of other areas they need to check. also disruption and ferry services between the west coast town of obama and the island of mull, problems there and the ferry service between ardrossan on the mainland and robert on the isle of arran. power cuts, the situation doesn't seem too bad as far as we know, there have been some small localised albums at least thatis some small localised albums at least that is one thing people are not having to cope with.— that is one thing people are not having to cope with. james shaw, thank ou having to cope with. james shaw, thank you because _ having to cope with. james shaw, thank you because we _ having to cope with. james shaw, thank you because we are - having to cope with. james shaw, thank you because we are now . having to cope with. james shaw, . thank you because we are now joined thank you because we are nowjoined by ross easton from the energy networks association. you may have heard james allude to the situation in terms of who has power, do you have a picture?— have a picture? james is right,

the good news is that the majority of customers have now been reconnected so i believe there were about 20,000 customers in the north—east without power last night when the storm hit and now we are down at just over when the storm hit and now we are down atjust over 1000 customers so the engineering team is working hard to make sure people are reconnected as quickly as possible and taking the lessons from storm arwen. ii the lessons from storm arwen. if someone is out of power, what should they expect, ofgem is taking an investigation into the way that storm arwen was dealt with but can people be reassured there will not be days without power the ofgem review and a government review, we have been participating in those and believe the interim report will be out soon and one lesson was that

communication point and that is why earlier in the week customer service teens have been contacting customers in vulnerable situations to inform them of the storm situation and make sure they are as prepared as they can bake and in terms of the timescale point, engineers working right now to reconnect those thousand plus customers who were in the north—east of england had hoped they would be working as hard as possible to reconnect them as quickly as they can. how concerned are you about storm eunice, because this is storm dudley at the moment, storm eunice is literally around the corner. figs literally around the corner. as carol was telling us there are potentially 100 mph winsor what is concerning notjust from the energy side of things but also travel services so we are making preparations for that, we are aware of storm eunice coming along but

that forecast at the moment it looks challenging from that point of view. ross easton, thank you forjoining us on breakfast. carol and the weather team had been through the day to and they will have an update on storm eunice and we will also talk to tom daley, about to run into a storm as he heads home from dartmoor to plymouth. find out what's happening where you are. good morning. i'm sonja jessup. citizens advice is calling on the communications watchdog ofcom to investigate royal mail's performance after more than a third of londoners suffered postal delays over christmas. the charity says willesden and upminster, as well as chelmsford in essex, were among the worst affected areas in the country with some bills and medical documents missing for eight weeks. royal mail says services

are now much improved, and were hit by staff off sick or isolating with covid. the mayor is calling on health workers to play a greater role in informing patients about the risk of london's air pollution and how to protect themselves. sadiq khan is meeting with health and environment officials and campaigners later at a clean air summit. it's thought they'll also discuss a review of pollution alert systems. the history of stonehenge is being explored at a major new exhibition opening at the british museum today. it features more than 400 artefacts to help explore the human stories behind the wiltshire monument and what it was used for. in the exhibition, we show there was no one stonehenge, there were actually several different monuments built at different times and it meant different things to different people, so we were really able to tease apart, thanks to new discoveries, a more fine—grained story of stonehenge and get that across in the exhibition.

travel now. no northern line between moorgate and kennington due to ongoing works and there's major disruption to thameslink trains from st pancras international after a tree fell on overhead power lines yesterday. a reduced timetable is in place— just one train an hour— the latest we're hearing it's unlikely to be fixed till 8 tomorrow morning. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini good morning. a very blustery day of weather yesterday with gusts of wind just over 50 miles an hour in the london area but worse is yet to come tomorrow from storm eunice. the met office have issued a amber weather warning, the second highest level of alert valid from three o'clock tomorrow morning until nine o'clock in the evening and there could be gusts of wind of around 70 up to 75 mph, possibly a bit higher in more exposed locations and that's enough to cause some widespread disruption and tricky travelling conditions of course and possibly some flying debris as well. today though, not quite so windy but a very blustery start

to the morning and gusts of around 40 to 45 miles an hour through the first half of the day and a mild start to the morning with temperatures in the high single figures. there will be some early brightness around then we see this band of showery rain and some cloud through the middle part of the day and there will be some brightness following on behind. a brisk south—westerly wind, of course, but that eases down towards the end of the afternoon with temperatures still in double figures and we are still in the mild air and not as high as they were yesterday. we start off with fairly light winds overnight tonight and then storm eunice will barrel in from the west and we start the day with winds gusting up to 40 or 45 miles an hour and the worst of the winds are likely to be around lunchtime. keep an eye on the forecast. i'm back in half an hour. lots more over on our website at the usual address, now it's back tojon and naga. bye for now.

you saw the weather there and tom said it was calm at that moment in time but the wind has been buffeting him through all the legs of his challenge and we know that buffeting is a mild way of saying what will be happening across big parts of the country. happening across big parts of the count . ., ., �* . ., , country. you don't even want to use the proper _ country. you don't even want to use the proper word — country. you don't even want to use the proper word that _ country. you don't even want to use the proper word that would - country. you don't even want to use the proper word that would reflect l the proper word that would reflect it. there is another storm coming in,. that's a very dramatic picture. talk us through it. this is from one of our weather watchers which were sent in this morning from north tyneside and storm dudley really did cause some damage and also a lot of disruption.

still gusty winds today but they are going to continue to ease down. i will turn your attention to storm eunice, the next one coming our way. it's been forming in the mid—atlantic and you can see the circle here but now it's going through a process of explosive cyclo genesis meaning the pressure falls away rapidly and the storm is deepening and you can see it rattling towards our shores. here is the area of low pressure that is storm eunice and through the course of tonight and tomorrow it is going to cross us and take the strongest winds with us but tomorrow it will still be windy evening to saturday it will still be windy so some large waves to come. gusty winds with the other storm but that crossed us last night and we can see the gusts we are looking at but they will continue to ease through the course of the day and we have some rain producing snow across the north and scotland and showery outbreaks across parts of england and wales and these are the temperatures

between five and 12 degrees. later you can see the first signs of storm eunice coming our way so to show you the pressure chart again, it is moving in from the south—west and pushing north—east as we go through the course of thursday night and into friday night. it's not the wind that will be a feature it or bring heavy rain and also significant snow. the snow will be falling on northern ireland and also northern england and we could see as much as 1030 centimetres and highest totals will be on higher ground but a lot of it will get to lower levels across scotland where the wind will not be a strong but it will still be windy so there will be blizzards on the hills and drifting of the snow and also on the hills of northern ireland and northern england you can expect drifting as well and as we come further south the black circles represent the strength of the gusts of wind and quite unusual to have them so strong across inland areas especially at the moment and we have gusts in the met office and the

weather warning, as much as 70 or 80 miles an hour inland and on exposed coasts potentially 90, maybe even 100 miles an hour so widespread destruction is likely. we've already been hearing about some travel disruption which is likely to continue and also things like trees being uprooted, branches coming down, flying debris and huge waves so how long will it continue quest but let's follow the track. into the weekend it will clear off and we have more areas of low pressure across the north of scotland and it looks like a deep area of low pressure and there will be widespread rain and sunday in particular looks like it is going to be another windy day so we are not out of the woods just yet. certainly not, and you would want to be in the woods. thank you very much, carol.

it's thought there are more than 111,000 men in england who have prostate cancer — but don't know it. partly because fewer men have been tested during the pandemic. now they are being urged to come forward and get checked. our health correspondent dominic hughes has been to meet two people whose lives have been touched by the disease. he was my best friend. he was and he will always be my best friend. literally we used to say we were each other's twin, we had the same mindset and we were very, very close so it's very difficult without him. danielle wasjust 25 when her dad johnny died after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. he was only 63. they were really close so losing her dad to a disease that, if caught early enough, is very treatable has been hard to take. his diagnosis came as a shock so it was in 2015. he did have some symptoms, now i realise, probably must

have started a couple of years beforehand. but for that diagnosis you just don't think it's ever going to happen to you, you don't think it's going to affect your family. johnny died two years after being diagnosed. the charity prostate cancer uk and the nhs are both worried there could be thousands of men who are living with the cancer but don't yet know it. since april 2020 more than 58,000 men have begun treatment for prostate cancer but that's 111,000 fewer than would have been expected when compared with pre—pandemic numbers. one in eight men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. men over 50, black men and those with a history of it in their family are at even greater risk. my dad's 80th there. that was the case for andrew. his dad had lived with prostate cancer for years. that was after the operation. then in 2020 a routine screening blood test revealed some worrying signs and a prostate cancer diagnosis soon followed. his advice for other

men now is simple. don't just sit there thinking it will be right like i did, there could be something happening there and one thing i found out since about prostate cancer is that it's very aggressive and once it takes hold of the rest of your body it canjust be a chasing game. i was very lucky, i didn't need any radiotherapy, didn't need any chemotherapy. the operation did it for me. for andrew, the road to recovery has been hard at times but he's now back to running and playing five—a—side. a simple blood test saved his life. i think i've used all my luck up in one go and if that's the only luck i'm going to have in my life, i'll take that. one disease, two very different outcomes but the same message for thousands of men thought to be living with prostate cancer. where i am now in life compared to what the alternative could have been, it's a no—brainer. if anyone is worried about it,

just go take a test. raising awareness now is key to recognising the symptoms and get treatment if you do have cancer, it's to get that early treatment and save your life. dominic hughes, bbc news. joining us now isjoe appiah who was diagnosed with prostate cancer injuly 2021 and chiara de biase from prostate cancer uk. we were talking about these figures, the thousands of men out there, some of them watching this morning, who don't know what they have got because they have not been tested and i guess you were recently one of them until recently and you had no idea. i them until recently and you had no idea. . ., . , , them until recently and you had no idea. ., ., ., , , idea. i had no idea my very good friend called _ idea. i had no idea my very good friend called me _ idea. i had no idea my very good friend called me out _ idea. i had no idea my very good friend called me out of - idea. i had no idea my very good friend called me out of the - idea. i had no idea my very good friend called me out of the blue| friend called me out of the blue and said we _ friend called me out of the blue and said i've got prostate cancer and i said, _ said i've got prostate cancer and i said. what— said i've got prostate cancer and i said, what you mean, he was roughly the same _

flood warnings have been issued in parts of cumbria and ayrshire — a record wind gust of ioimph was recorded near fort william. all scotrail services were suspended yesterday afternoon, and the rail operator says disruption is expected to continue throughout the morning northern powergrid says around 1,000 properties are still without power in county durham — but they say the peak is yet to arrive and that the company is on full alert. and as storm dudley moves away, more severe weather is forecast with the arrival of storm eunice tomorrow. the met office has issued an amber weather warning for very strong winds covering most of england and all of wales. gusts of up to 80mph have been forecast inland, with those winds strengthening to 100mph in some coastal areas. our first report is from our correspondentjean mckenzie. ferocious winds flipped vehicles in their tracks and on the rail tracks in wales, it was a flyaway trampoline causing chaos.

across the north—east of england thousands of people have been left without power and it's unclear when all supplies will be restored. i've just brought my grandma some lights, some emergency lights. my nan's partially sighted as well so it's a bit dangerous for her. how are you coping? not too bad. i'll have a vodka later and i'll be all right. i i've missed all my soaps, mind. but in this house the electric bottle making machine has been missed the most. we've had to make a bottle the old way and he's been screaming for about an hour while we've been doing that, but he's great. he's feeding now? yeah, he's all right. it's a good thing we've got candles because it doesn't seem like a lot of people do. others took to their cars to keep warm. we just run about trying to get warmed up because there's. obviously no heating, so on we go. - across the uk people, bewildered, have taken to social media to document almost supernatural events.

in cumbria, a waterfall in reverse. at this beach in county down, sand on the run. and here a football turned boomerang. on the railways, falling trees have damaged overhead cables, meaning yesterday's disruption is expected to continue for much of the day. people are being urged to check before they travel, but storms and disruption are becoming all too normal. here in gateshead, taylor's neighbour's roof was swept off by storm malik a couple of weeks ago and last night's howls made him jittery. every time you hear a little bit of wind, even if it's nothing major, you get worried and think what's going to happen now, but yeah, it's all right. but storm dudley is just a precursor. people are being told to prepare for worse. storm eunice is arriving on friday. she could bring even stronger winds

and possible blizzards. today offers a very brief calm between the storms. jean mackenzie, bbc news. danjohnson is at a service station without power in durham for us now. a service station without services because of storm dudley. yes. a service station without services because of storm dudley. yes, no resite because of storm dudley. yes, no respite even _ because of storm dudley. yes, no respite even for _ because of storm dudley. yes, no respite even for drivers _ because of storm dudley. yes, no respite even for drivers out - because of storm dudley. yes, no respite even for drivers out on i because of storm dudley. yes, noi respite even for drivers out on the roads this morning because even the service station doesn't have power so it can't open this morning. it's a sign of how bad things are across the north—east, across the north of england and south of scotland as well. there are thousands of homes without power, just across the a1 there is part of one village where there is part of one village where the streets are dark, the street lights were off last night, homes are without electricity, without light. we saw people last night struggling to keep warm. some are spending time in their cars because

the houses were so cold. some are having food brought to them, take a ways or relatives where bringing meals around because people were struggling to cook. we saw people struggling to cook. we saw people struggling to cook. we saw people struggling to make bottles for their babies. it's been a tough night for some people, the power company northern powergrid says at one point yesterday there were 111,000 homes without electricity. they've managed to reconnect most of them but still this morning they reckon there are 4000 people to be reconnected and people haven't got a sense of exactly how long the disruption will last. forsome exactly how long the disruption will last. for some it could be until this lunchtime into the afternoon. perhaps even longer and then they are priced already for another storm tomorrow which could bring the misery back again, could make things worse. forsome misery back again, could make things worse. for some people this is the second or third time this year they've felt the effect of the storm with these repeated storms coming through. trees coming down, disrupting power lines and railways as well. it's a difficult morning,

notjust as well. it's a difficult morning, not just for drivers but for passengers trying to get on trains too. and for people stuck at home without power, without light. even the traffic lights are out. it gives you a sense of the disruption that's been caused but perhaps things are not quite as bad as had been forecast yesterday. the disruption is patchy, in places, rather than as widespread as we saw with the last storm but certainly some people are struggling and there is no respite to be had here. i struggling and there is no respite to be had here.— to be had here. i 'ust wonder if uiven to be had here. i 'ust wonder if given that _ to be had here. i 'ust wonder if given that storm — to be had here. ijust wonder if given that storm eunice - to be had here. ijust wonder if given that storm eunice is - to be had here. ijust wonder if given that storm eunice is on l to be had here. ijust wonder if. given that storm eunice is on the way, is there going to be an opportunity for all of those repairs to be done? the utility companies to get lines fixed, for rail lines to be cleared, etc, before the next storm? , ., , be cleared, etc, before the next storm? , . , . ., , storm? yes, that is certainly the focus now. _ storm? yes, that is certainly the focus now. a _ storm? yes, that is certainly the focus now, a major— storm? yes, that is certainly the focus now, a major effort. - storm? yes, that is certainly the focus now, a major effort. our i focus now, a major effort. our company say they've got extra teens on hand to answer phones and teens on hand to answer phones and teens on the roads, in the fields, trying

to get those power lines up and running once again —— extra teams. it's difficult working out which lines will be disrupted and chasing around trying to fix everything in the disruption is patchy. so it is a difficultjob for the the disruption is patchy. so it is a difficult job for the power the disruption is patchy. so it is a difficultjob for the power networks and forecasting exactly where the storm is going to hit. there is a bit of a lull today, the sun is out, it is dry, still blustery but nowhere near as bad as it was last night. it's been a cold night for a lot of people in this part of the country. and the prospect is they are going to face the same again tonight, more disruption tomorrow and that could last through the weekend. . ~ and that could last through the weekend. ., ~ , ., let's go to glasgow and get the latest from our correspondent james shaw. good morning. bring us an update on the situation across scotland. badly hit by storm dudley and what are the key messages for the public this morning? key messages for the public this mornin: ? ~ , , ,

morning? well, the sun is shining now in glasgow. _ morning? well, the sun is shining now in glasgow. storm _ morning? well, the sun is shining now in glasgow. storm dudley - morning? well, the sun is shining| now in glasgow. storm dudley has definitely passed but he's left a real mess in his wake. the main thing people need to be aware of is the disruption focusing on this location, this is central station in the heart of glasgow, services are going up to the west coast of scotland and down south into lanarkshire. the last time i checked on the departure and arrivals board, there were ten panels showing different services, eight of those showed cancellations. there were two services which were due to depart around about now, one was to carlisle and one to iraq on the west coast. that gives you a sense of the disruption this has been. we know that trees have fallen on lines, power countries have been damaged. there was one particular situation in north ayrshire where a power gantry collapsed onto the track and we know that network rail were able

to get to that and repair it and get that track working again. scotrail say there are 11100 miles of track that need to be checked and so there's going to be disruption throughout the morning. i think they are aiming to try and get things back as much as they can to normal from after 10am but it will take them awhile and as we heard earlier on, storm eunice is coming in the wake of storm dudley and you have to wonder how much they are going to be able to get things back to normal before the next wave of bad weather hits. . ~ , ., before the next wave of bad weather hits. . ~' , ., , before the next wave of bad weather hits. . ~ y., , . �*, hits. thank you very much. let's get up-to-date — hits. thank you very much. let's get up-to-date with _ hits. thank you very much. let's get up-to-date with our _ hits. thank you very much. let's get up-to-date with our weather - up—to—date with our weather presenter matt taylor in the studio from the bbc weather centre. good morning. ee has been, still some impact because of that storm of course. ring is up—to—date. it’s

the breakfast rush hour and then transfer eastwards. it's going to be england and wales with the greatest impacts but it's notjust about the wind, some parts of northern england, central southern scotland and northern ireland there could be heavy snow, up to 30 centimetres on some hills. ~ �* , ., ~ ., some hills. we'll be talking about it a lot over— some hills. we'll be talking about it a lot over the _ some hills. we'll be talking about it a lot over the next _ some hills. we'll be talking about it a lot over the next 24 _ some hills. we'll be talking about it a lot over the next 24 hours - some hills. we'll be talking about| it a lot over the next 24 hours and keeping viewers up—to—date pot in advance of storm eunice, what's the advice? obviously, things like making sure you batten down your garden. making sure you batten down your carden. ., �* ., ., , , garden. you've got a quiet spell now, garden. you've got a quiet spell now. start _ garden. you've got a quiet spell now, start making _ garden. you've got a quiet spell now, start making plans, - garden. you've got a quiet spell now, start making plans, check| garden. you've got a quiet spell- now, start making plans, check your garden for loose items. how are banks, make sure you've got extra power if you need it should the power if you need it should the power go out. if you're going to travel, is it really essential tomorrow? please check the forecast. the met office will be updating warnings this morning, check the latest because it's probably not worth it. . ~ latest because it's probably not worth it. ., ~ , ., latest because it's probably not worth it. . ~' , ., , latest because it's probably not worth it. ., ~ , . worth it. thank you very much, good advice to make _ worth it. thank you very much, good advice to make sure _

despite claims from moscow that troops are leaving the region. speaking at nato headquarters in brussels, mr wallace said up to 7,000 more russian troops have arrived in the last 48 hours, and a bridge is being built in belarus close to the border with ukraine. moscow continues to deny it plans to invade. tim allman reports. this doesn't look much like a withdrawal. these satellite images from a private american company appear to show a build—up of armoured vehicles, helicopters and artillery. then there's this, what looks like a pontoon bridge, built across the pripyat river, not far from ukraine's border with belarus. translation: the situation is controlled by our military. j we don't see any changes now, we see a large accumulation of troops, we are seeing small rotations. i wouldn't call these rotations the withdrawal of forces by russia, we just can't say that. russia insists you can. they released video footage showing

tanks being loaded onto a train. their final destination, we are told, their home base, now that military exercises have come to an end. but washington remain sceptical there's no withdrawal. quite the opposite, in fact. we are in the window where we believe an attack could come at any time, and that would be preceded by a fabricated pretext that the russians use as an excuse to launch an invasion. we've talked about this a bit in here, we've seen these tactics used in the past. although the us says there will be no military response if russia does invade, america is building up its presence in the region — several hundred more troops arriving in poland, reassuring nato allies, while hoping the worst won't happen. we can talk about ways of avoiding russia feeling unnecessarily threatened, and we should continue to explore all of those options, in order to avert what would be an absolutely catastrophic large—scale war in the centre of europe.
