good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today... a third major storm in less than a week. strong winds hit much of the uk as hundreds of people are evacuated from their homes over fears of flooding. there are 181 flood warnings in forcing england at the moment, two on the river mersey. busts of winds in excess of 70 miles an hour, all from storm franklin. travel delays are quite likely today. the queen will carry out light duties after testing positive for coronavirus.

the palace says she is experiencing "mild" symptoms. is it the end of all covid restrictions in england? borisjohnson will set out his plans today, including scrapping the legal requirement to self—isolate. apres ski. we bid farewell to beijing. we'll be reflecting on the highs and lows of the winter olympics as team gb return home with just one gold and one silver medal. it is monday, the 21st of february. a third named storm in less than a week is sweeping across the uk this morning, bringing high winds and heavy rain. storm franklin has already caused severe flooding in parts of northern ireland, while, in yorkshire and greater manchester, people have been forced to leave their homes for safety. will bachelor has more. it came from the west. storm franklin battered the irish coast before causing heavy rainfall across northern ireland. counties londonderry and tyrone suffered the worst of the flooding,

with the river in 0magh among those close to bursting its banks. an amber wind warning is in force for the north of northern ireland until 7am today. wales, too, was badly hit by flooding. this torrent in powys is usually a small stream. last night, in nearby llandinam, seven people were rescued by boat after the river severn burst its banks. siren wails northern england may have avoided the worst of storms eunice and dudley, but it's bearing the brunt of franklin. that's the flood warning siren for todmorden in west yorkshire. this equipment was supposed to be working on future flood defences on the river aire at kirkstall until it was washed away. in hebden bridge, the river close to bursting its banks and more high water in matlock, sheffield, barnsley, kirklees. this is knaresborough, where residents and their pets were rescued from a flooded holiday park. and in south manchester,

more than 400 homes were being evacuated last night after two severe flood warnings on the river mersey indicated a danger to life. in liverpool, the mersey looked extremely choppy as this tug boat went to work. and a bumpy ride too for this police helicopter above the wirral. plenty more journeys will be disrupted by franklin this morning, as train lines are flooded and blocked with fallen trees. south western, great western and of avanti among the operators urging passengers to cancel or delay their journey. and with wind warnings still in place this morning, the full extent of the damage is yet to be assessed. will batchelor, bbc news. in a moment, we will get the latest from northern ireland but first our reporter nick garnett is in south manchester this morning. nick, what's the situation like there now? good morning. what is happening?

this is south of manchester. just in front of me is the m56 motorway. behind me as a bridge with so much water underneath it. this is the debris that has blown up from the river mersey and completely closed the road. there are but bulls, carpet which has been dragged down by the water as well. lots and lots of trees. i have been speaking to a chap whose job it is to try to clear the road and try to play the golf course behind me. the problem is thatis course behind me. the problem is that is underwater at the moment. huge floodgate have been open to try to relieve the pressure on the river mersey which flows from here out to see. that water has been coming over the top of all the water banks and flood banks. it hasjust

the top of all the water banks and flood banks. it has just started to rain as well. 430 homes identified in manchester as being at risk of flooding. the owners were told they could leave their houses and go to a rest centre that was being set up overnight. 150 flood warnings are in place, all across the north of england. at times yesterday when the rain was falling, it felt like you were being hit by buckets of water and they were being thrown at you. horrendous, torrential rain! 0vernight there had been high winds making problem even more problematic. most of the main roads have been driveable and open but little roads like this other problem really. it will take some time to clear up. people here have said it is the highest they have seen the water and they do not know how it

has ended up not affecting any of the houses. the highest point was at midnight and levels have dropped by a metre, 1.5 metres. it looks like the worst is over and most houses managed to escape from any flooding but you can see what is left in its wake. , ., , ., , wake. interesting to see that this morninu. northern ireland has also been hit by severe flooding over the past 24 hours. 0ur correspondent, louise cullen, is in ballycastle and joins us now. louise, what's the latest? good morning. iam here on good morning. i am here on the north coast, one of the amber warning areas for this storm. it has been pretty horrendous overnight. there have been a fair few sleepless nights along this coast and the wind is still strong this morning. the amber alert expires at seven o'clock the wind is still strong. flooding in the last 24—hour is, particularly in the last 24—hour is, particularly in county to round and londonderry where pumps brought in. a lot of

trees are down with roads blocked across northern ireland and there are a host of power cuts, from as few as ten houses right up to 1000 in several areas. it has been 24 hours of horrendous weather. travel conditions have been very tough stop berries had been cancelled, flights had been cancelled or delayed. —— ferries had been cancelled. as you can tell, i am being buffeted by the wind. the boats in the harbour are clanking as they rock. it will take some time for the clean—up to get under way but all the damage will have to be assessed first.- under way but all the damage will have to be assessed first. thank you ve much have to be assessed first. thank you very much indeed _ have to be assessed first. thank you very much indeed for— have to be assessed first. thank you very much indeed for the _ have to be assessed first. thank you very much indeed for the latest. - the queen will continue with "light duties" today after she tested positive for covid. palace officials say her symptoms are mild and that she'll be receiving medical attention

and following all guidelines. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph is outside windsor castle. good morning to you. the statement from the palace appears to be quite positive, doesn't it? yes. from the palace appears to be quite positive, doesn't it?— positive, doesn't it? yes, ithink it is cautious _ positive, doesn't it? yes, ithink it is cautious and _ positive, doesn't it? yes, ithink it is cautious and no _ positive, doesn't it? yes, ithink it is cautious and no sense - positive, doesn't it? yes, ithink it is cautious and no sense of. positive, doesn't it? yes, i think. it is cautious and no sense of alarm is the best way to describe it. we have been told by palace officials the queen has mild, cold like symptoms at this stage. a statement yesterday said she tested positive but there was not a lot of information in it. a couple of significant bits. firstly, she wants to carry on with light duties this week. it gives a sense she wants as much as possible to carry on as normal. that will mean things like dealing with paperwork, looking through correspondence and perhaps even taking a phone call. in addition they said the queen had been well enough yesterday morning

to sign off the message of congratulations she sent to the olympic curling team, just giving 0lympic curling team, just giving that sense she is able to carry on as normal as much as possible. there are a couple of aggravating factors. firstly, the queen is 95, almost 96 years old, which immediately puts her in the vulnerable category. she is thinner and frailer than she was even a year ago and i will be an issue for the medical team around her. we can expect them to be monitoring her over the coming days. it is about seeing how she is doing, watching her condition and seeing if there is any change. we will not be getting updates from palace officials, they simply say if there is a significant change they will tell us. it is a significant change they will tell us. , . . , , is a significant change they will tellus. ,. ., , , ., the last remaining covid restrictions in england

are set to be lifted, including the legal requirement to self—isolate after testing positive. the prime minister will outline his plans later today but critics say the move is premature and driven by political considerations. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. morning, to see you. —— great to see you. adam, how will this be received by mps? a big chunk of conservatives will be delighted. it is being posed by the labour party and the trade unions. and some scientists have said it is being driven by political timetable rather than what data suggests. a plan is being drawn up about living with covid over the next years. people will note the legal duty to isolate at home if found positive. with testing will be a gradual phasing out of the idea of having

universal free pcr tests or lateral flow test for everyone much more focused in future. lots of the burden for protecting the country. on the vaccines, probably people who 0n the vaccines, probably people who are more vulnerable because of their age and health will be in line for getting boosters for quite some time yet. this is being presented by borisjohnson is a moment of national pride, a moment of getting together and saying we had only got together and saying we had only got to this place because everyone followed the rules and did the right thing up until now. scientists are warning coronaviruses itself will circulate in the world probably for ever, it is not going to disappear for good. it may become milder but we will also have to look out for it becoming more serious. we will have to keep anionic probably for the rest of our lives. —— and i on it. us presidentjoe biden has agreed, in principle,

to hold talks with the russian leader, vladimir putin, to discuss the crisis in ukraine. the white house said the meeting will only go ahead if russia does not invade its neighbour. let's speak to our kyiv correspondent, james waterhouse. morning, james. are we closer to a diplomatic solution this morning? morning. i think it is a case of diplomacy continuing potentially. yesterday the us said we are on the rink of four after russia made the decision to leave an estimated 30,000 troops in belarus to the north after planned military exercises finished. we wake up this morning and president macron of france has had a three hour phone call with president putin yesterday. in president putin blamed ukraine for escalating tensions in the east of the country where russian backed militants occupied territories. he agreed to a potential meeting with

president biden. they called president biden. they called president biden. they called president biden for 15 minutes where a meeting was agreed in principle. the diplomats and foreign secretaries will meet on thursday to thrash out what will be discussed. that is only on the premise that russia does not invade ukraine. some us media reporting he had already given the order. ukrainian ministers once again give a different assessment of things. they said they had seen no intelligence to suggest russia is about to strike because they have not seen groupings of soldiers along the border. talks will continue but there are concerns about a rise in fighting in the east of ukraine as well as militants and ukrainian forces blaming each other. chess, which is all part of moscow creating a fake reason, a fake justification to invade.

australia has opened its international borders for the first time in nearly two years, after easing some of the world's strictest covid travel restrictions. from today, fully vaccinated tourists can enter parts of the country. but travellers, who have not received a jab, must still quarantine in a hotel for up to 14 days. the state of western australia will remain closed until the 3rd of march. tributes are being paid to music entrepreneurjamal edwards, who has died at the age of 31. he founded the music platform sbtv, which helped launch the careers of artists like dave, ed sheeran and jessiej. the organisers of the mobo awards said his groundbreaking work and legacy in british culture would live on. it's 6:14am. we have been talking about the storms over the last few days already. storms over the last few days alread . ., ., , ~ . storms over the last few days alread . ., ., , . ., storms over the last few days alread . . ., , . ., already. parodies here. what can you tell us? -- — already. parodies here. what can you tell us? -- carol— already. parodies here. what can you tell us? -- carol is _ already. parodies here. what can you tell us? -- carol is here. _

degrees north to south. if you are feeling the wind, that is academic. i will be looking ahead to the rest of the week in about half an hour. see you then. later today, the prime minister will lay out his vision for repealing all remaining covid restrictions in england, saying his plan will bring the country "towards a return to normality." despite this, he's warning that we shouldn't "throw caution to the wind" as the virus still remains dangerous for some. so, what will change? it's expected that by the end of the week the legal requirement to self—isolate will be scrapped for those who test positive, and will be replaced with advice instead. free lateral flow and pcr testing are likely to be rolled back. the vaccine programme will remain open to anyone who hasn't had their doses yet. across the rest of the uk, in northern ireland, restrictions are no longer legally—binding. wales is at alert level zero, which is the lowest

level of covid rules. and in scotland, the first minister is due to update msps tomorrow. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been speaking to people across england about the incoming changes. it's been a while since i've worn this level of ppe for an interview, but you'll understand why when you consider that juliette coffa, who has a severe lung condition, hasn't left her home for more than 850 days. thre are days when i feel like literally the house is closing in on me. there's days i want to see the sea. there's days i want to go and see my parents. all these things that people do normally. when people start going out and you see their facebook posts, and you see people at adventure parks or at dinner, or out with friends and you think, "the world's leaving me behind here." and you do get that sense that we're very much left behind

because there's not enough measures in place to make it safe for us to be out. juliette is extremely clinically vulnerable and extremely concerned that all restrictions in england are being swept away. i don't understand why people can't put a mask on when they're in an enclosed area, why they can't stay home where they are covid positive. and ijust don't get why my life isn't valuable enough for society to take on those measures, so that everybody can have a plan to live with covid. notjust the people who are able to. community pharmacies have been among the unsung heroes of the fight against the pandemic, providing front line care support and advice to millions of people. andy williams is anxious that the gains we've made against covid could

now be undermined. we have also seen lots of people, whose journey during the pandemic has been quite traumatic. they have really worked, you know... they're making tender steps out because of their own personal frailties. and what we don't want to do is to see that they feel that the rug is being pulled underneath their feet, and in some way, they need to then make a decision to absorb themselves away from our wider society. we've got three different rolls of material. - we have a blue, which is waterproof, slightly waterproof, _ i we have the antibacterial layerl and we have the welding layer — a transparent material. when the pandemic began to take hold two years ago, this air filtration firm used its expertise to start manufacturing facemasks. they set up this factory in rural herefordshire, where they make a million masks a day and will continue to do so. the requirement, even

a medical grade type 2, ask in all of the hospitals around europe pre—pandemic is related maybe to only 1% of our production capacity. so we are going to continue and we are going to continue to provide to the united kingdom and europe, making us, as a nation, independent from those overseas suppliers. two lots of ear loop. few lives have been left untouched by the impact of covid. roger powell lost his job in the first lockdown, but was then employed here when production ramped up. i couldn't have asked for a better outcome. two years ago, i was looking for probably a part time job because people won't want to take a 64—year—old. but dean offered me the job and i haven't looked back. it's been fantastic. this group of builders merchants, who work for selco across the uk haven't got together socially for two years —

until tonight — where they're striking out at the lanes bowling alley in bristol. we used to have an occasion like this once a month, yeah. so we've missed out mostly two years' worth of it. yeah. i mean, how important is it to do something like this? very. they work in birmingham, we work in bristol, people work in wales, and it's times when you meet up like this, you can actually discuss things that you don't normally discuss. so when it's about the business side of it, but then again, it's building bonds with the guys in birmingham. so yeah, it is important. the debate about if, when and by how much restrictions should be lifted goes on. meanwhile, what was once mandatory now becomes discretionary. the decisions are all ours to make. john maguire, bbc news.

we are going to be talking a lot more about that throughout the day. we are. let's take a look at today's front pages. the telegraph features a picture of the queen, who has tested positive for covid but "vows to carry on working". the paper also suggests that over—80s could continue to access free covid tests once they are scrapped for most of the public, under the government's "living with covid" plan, which will be announced today. the times says the prime minister will hail a "moment of pride" as all covid restrictions are lifted in england. the paper adds that vaccines will be used for the "foreseeable future". the guardian reports "desperate last—minute" efforts have been launched to avoid a russian invasion of ukraine, with french president emmanuel macron saying he has persuaded president putin to endorse urgent talks aimed at securing a ceasefire. the sun reports that the queen is "determined to carry on" despite having covid — by working from home at windsor. the paper says just hours

after her positive test, the queen signed off a statement congratulating team gb�*s 0lympic medal—winning curlers. a really interesting front page. saying hrh to wfh. she is hm, the queen. not hrh. you never lift your hand till she raises hers to shake yours. do you wait for her to speak? you are not allowed to say anything. how did you manage not speaking. she turned up early. can you imagine the pandemonium? we had a lovely chat, i

had nearly three minutes with her. i was in the middle of a story when she was asked to move on. efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis in ukraine are being stepped up this morning — with us presidentjoe biden agreeing in principle to hold a summit with russian president vladimir putin. however, the threat of a russian invasion is already having a significant impact on the lives of thousands of civilians who have been uprooted from their homes in the separatist territories of ukraine. 0ur correspondent caroline davies has been to meet some of them. overlapping chatter. some sweet snacks after hours on the road. evacuees from the rebel—held areas of ukraine arrived in a convoy of buses to russia. yulia left more than 24 hours ago with her three children. how's that been with a small child? "it was very hard — unbearable," she tells me. "i did it for my children. if it was not for them,

we probably wouldn't have left." this is why many did get on the buses. on friday, a separatist leader told women, children and the elderly to evacuate. he says the decision was made that day because of ukrainian shelling. but looking at the metadata, it suggests this video was filmed two days before the flare—up. the west has repeatedly warned that russia plans to stage a fake crisis to give a reason to attack. the fallout is already real for some, like the evacuees who'll spend the night in this sports hall. ekaterina and 6—month—old miroslav packed up their lives in hours. she worries that she'll be sent further away from home. translation: we would go somewhere near, but what they're offering, - we don't want to go there. we are so tired. we want to sleep, to take shower — the basic things for a person and a child.

minds here are on those that stayed. men have been told they must fight. many have not been allowed to leave, including victoria's husband. "he wasn't let out," she tells me. "i'm very worried." her daughter asks her, "why are you crying?" the evacuees have been told its ukraine that's trying to start an offensive. it's a baseless claim that's strongly disputed by ukraine and many who say that provoking a war while surrounded by thousands of russian troops would be inconceivable. some are on the move. sent to the station, handed paperwork to apply for the equivalent of around £100 per person promised by president putin, and put on a train. so this is the third coach—load of families we've seen getting off here in the course of the last ten minutes, and many on board didn't know where they were going,

but we've just been told by the authorities that they're being taken to a city that's just to the east of moscow, which is more than 1,000 kilometres away from here. some worry that if they were expected to come back soon, they wouldn't be sent so far. but these decisions are in russia's hands, and as the geopolitical wrangling continues, no—one is certain what's planned next. caroline davies, bbc news, taganrog. plenty more coming up here on the programme in the next couple of hours for you. we are jam—packed today. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. days after storm eunice hit the capital, storm franklin is on its way. the met office has issued a yellow warning for london and the south east. it says strong winds could be a risk to buildings, trees and cause power cuts.

the environment agency has issued three flood alerts for the capital. network rail has spent the weekend clearing debris on the tracks and says it's trying to minimise disruption. thousands of rail colleagues have been out over the last few days and nights clearing up the wreckage. we're doing our absolute best to keep the railways open, but my advice before you travel today or tomorrow is to check before you travel with your train operator, to check that your train is running. the o2 arena will remain closed until later this week, after it was damaged in friday's storm. in a statement the venue said it would stay shut until the 25th february to give it time to carry out necessary works on the roof. shows and events due to take place over the next few days will be rescheduled. british airways passengers arriving at heathrow claim they had to wait up to four hours for their luggage, while some had to go home without it. pictures from this weekend appear to show suitcases

piled up at the airport. ba has apologised and said it's dealing with "operational issues" due to the bad weather". it's now sending the bags to their owners and offering compensation. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. the metropolitan line is part suspended, as is the 0verground. and there are severe delays on thejubilee line. 0nto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. we're starting off the new working week with yet another met office weather warning in place for the strength of the winds — this time from storm franklin. now this is a yellow weather warning — it's the lowest level of alert, but still to be taken seriously. plenty of structures already weakened by storm eunice, of course, on friday. we could still see gusts today of around 50 to 60 miles an hour — they wentjust over 60 miles an hour yesterday as that squall line came through, you'll have noticed that. the warning is in place until one o'clock this afternoon,

but the winds are fairly light at first — 20—30mph gusts — it's also quite a chilly start to the morning. the winds will ramp up as we head through the morning — those gusts of maybe just over 50 to 60 miles an hour. some areas of rain and some cloud just coming down from the northwest on that brisk wind. but there'll be lots of sunshine into the afternoon. the warning expires and the winds will lighten. top temperatures between 11 and 13 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, yes, the winds are lighter. clear skies at first, temperatures dropping to four or five degrees celsius. but then we've got another front coming through into tomorrow morning, so the temperatures will rise and there'll be a lot more in the way of cloud. highs tomorrow of around 14 degrees celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. and if you are affected by the storm, get in touch — hellobbclondon@bbc. co. uk. now, though, it's back to sally and dan. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... wedding vows by candlelight — why storm eunice couldn't stop this couple from tying the knot, thanks to the power of social media. we catch up with manchester arena bombing survivor martin hibbert, who is in training to scale mount kilimanjaro this summer for a very special cause. and they battled sleep deprivation, salt sores and exhaustion to make it across the atlantic in record—breaking time. we hear the very personal story that inspired this mammoth rowing challenge. let's return now to the news that the queen has tested positive for coronavirus. palace officials say her symptoms are mild and she's still taking on "light duties" — but of course it's concerning when any 95—year—old catches the virus.

dr sarahjarvis is one of our regular breakfast gps and she joins us from london. good morning. lovely to speak to you. as sally said, take out the fact that she is the queen. how concerning is it that there is a 95—year—old with covid? concerning is it that there is a 95-year-old with covid? well, a ureat 95-year-old with covid? well, a great deal _ 95-year-old with covid? well, a great deal less _ 95-year-old with covid? well, a great deal less concerning - 95-year-old with covid? well, a great deal less concerning than | 95-year-old with covid? well, a | great deal less concerning than it would have been if she was, for instance, not fully vaccinated, and i have no doubt she is. we know she has had one, i have no doubt, seen for instance the example he set the nation at the funeral of her husband that she will have had all three. notjust because she thinks it is a good thing to do and will have been advised to, but because she wants to set an example. that will enormously reduce her risk. she is also almost certainly going to be advised by her doctors about various treatments which are now available for people who are very vulnerable to serious complications and they have been proven to be very effective. i’m

proven to be very effective. i'm sure you _ proven to be very effective. i'm sure you will — proven to be very effective. i'm sure you will have _ proven to be very effective. i'm sure you will have seen that statement from the palace talking about light duties, which sounds positive. in terms of those mild symptoms which somebody who is fully vaccinated might get, what sort of things are we talking about? interestingly we haven't seen anything like the same number of people getting a change or loss of sense of smell or taste with 0micron. we have seen a lot more people getting bunged up, cold like symptoms, runny nose, blocked nose and feeling a scratchy, itchy throat. she may well have a fever and she is highly likely to be feeling extremely tired. so i would advise that those light duties probably ought to be very light indeed. ., ., .,, , indeed. you mentioned those newly a- roved indeed. you mentioned those newly approved anti-viral— indeed. you mentioned those newly approved anti-viral drugs. - indeed. you mentioned those newly approved anti-viral drugs. what - indeed. you mentioned those newly i approved anti-viral drugs. what more approved anti—viral drugs. what more do we know about them? are they readily available to members of the public? readily available to members of the ublic? ., ., ., , , readily available to members of the ublic? ., ., ._ , ., public? there are two ways of caettin public? there are two ways of getting hold _ public? there are two ways of getting hold of _ public? there are two ways of getting hold of them. - public? there are two ways of getting hold of them. if - public? there are two ways of getting hold of them. if you i public? there are two ways of. getting hold of them. if you are very vulnerable, including people for instance whose immune system is suppressed, people who have had

" it led up to the occasion _ a six—goal thriller — a 4—2 win for manchester united that tightens their grip in the top four in the premier league but the tension between these two sides did go too far at one point, after manchester united re—took the lead in the second half. fred scored their equaliser and, in the celebrations, young swedish winger anthony elanga was struck by an object, thought to be a coin, from the crowd while united were celebrating. he was fine to continue, and even went on the score their fourth. united play in the champions league last 16 next on wednesday. this is what we have to show. this is exactly that kind of attitude that we need if we want to be successful in the end this season — both in the premier league and in the champions league. and i think this — not only the result, but the way that we achieved it, the way that we played — could really be of help for the future, as well — for wednesday, and for the upcoming games of the premier league. wolves are still very much

in the hunt for the champions league places after they beat leicester 2—1 at molineux. daniel podence scored the winning goal — his first in the league this season. yesterday was perhaps a pivotal day in the scottish premiership. celtic are now three points clear at the top after they came from behind to beat dundee 3—2 at celtic park. greek striker giakoumakis scored all three to put celtic in pole position to win the title. their rivals rangers dropped points on the road again — they drew 1—1 at dundee united and are yet to win away from home in 2022. england lionesses continued their preparations for the euros later this year, as they took on spain in the arnold clark cup. they maintained their unbeaten run under manager sarina wiegman as they drew 0—0 with an in—form spanish side, lauren hemp coming the closest to breaking the deadlock — her effort bouncing off the post.

it's good that we play a team like this, like spain, because they have developed so much over the years, and that's what you can see, and i'm also very happy that we played germany and that we already played canada, because we need these games to develop and to be experts at the highest level. team gb are on their way home from beijing, due to land later this evening, after a winter olympics that saw them pick up just two medals. the curlers — who won gold and silver — got to show off their bling in the closing ceremony at the bird's nest stadium. gb won five medals in sochi and pyeongchang, and fell short of their uk sport target in beijing — so can these games be considered a success? i've heard brilliant stories over the last couple of weeks of ice rinks and snow domes being packed to the rafters, and people desperate to get in the doors. and for us at uk sport, success is more thanjust the medal. the medal moments make us feel fantastic and we are so thrilled

that we've got, you know, so many athletes — ten athletes going home with medals around their necks that are from these games. but the definition of success for us is wider than simply the medals. and we'll be speaking to former winter olympian aimee fuller and chair of uk sport dame katherine grainger at 7:50 to reflect further on the winter olympics. no six nations this weekend, but plenty of rugby on, as exeter edged past newcastle in the premiership after a late joe simmonds penalty. the hosts were leading going into the closing stages, before this kick saw the chiefs nick it byjust a point — 15—14. exeter are up to fifth whilst newcastle stay in 11th. ulster are up to second in the united rugby championship after beating the dragons 12—0. the game was played in tough conditions, but a a couple of tries from the away side — including this one from john andrew — saw them over the line.

and finally... we've already had one hat—trick for celtic this morning — how about another? on paper, well, it's perfect. left foot. right foot. header. however, new zealand's meikayla moore did just that at the shebelieves cup against the usa. the only problem? they were all own goals — and all inside the first 36 minutes of play. 0h, oh, dear! she had actually scored the first two within six minutes, and then when the third went in her manager, surely out of sympathy rather than anything else, decided to substitute her. the liverpool player was then comforted by her team—mates on the bench. ican imagine i can imagine it is a hard time for her~ _ i can imagine it is a hard time for her. , . it is i can imagine it is a hard time for her-_ it is a _ i can imagine it is a hard time for her._ it is a record. - i can imagine it is a hard time for her._ it is a record. it i i can imagine it is a hard time for. her._ it is a record. it has her. dear me. it is a record. it has been done — her. dear me. it is a record. it has been done before, _ her. dear me. it is a record. it has been done before, in _ her. dear me. it is a record. it has been done before, in the - her. dear me. it is a record. it has been done before, in the german | been done before, in the german league _ been done before, in the german learue. �* been done before, in the german league.- there _ been done before, in the german league.- there are - been done before, in the german league.- there are bad i been done before, in the german i league.- there are bad days league. don't. .. there are bad days and there are _ league. don't. .. there are bad days and there are bad _ league. don't. .. there are bad days and there are bad days. _ league. don't. .. there are bad days

think people will be hoping that potentially we can see some evidence of that this week, maybe a photograph, may be a video, so we can see for ourselves how she is doing. can see for ourselves how she is doint. ~ . can see for ourselves how she is doin _ . ., , , can see for ourselves how she is doina.~ . i, ., can see for ourselves how she is doint. . i, ., doing. what type of medical care will the queen _ doing. what type of medical care will the queen be _ doing. what type of medical care will the queen be having - doing. what type of medical care will the queen be having at i doing. what type of medical care will the queen be having at the l will the queen be having at the moment? i imagine it is pretty intense. ~ ., , intense. well, potentially. the alace is intense. well, potentially. the palace is saying _ intense. well, potentially. the palace is saying she _ intense. well, potentially. the palace is saying she is - intense. well, potentially. the| palace is saying she is receiving medical attention but not being specific about what that means but we do know he is at windsor castle, not in a medical setting, so that suggests nothing too intensive. she is being monitored by the medical household, which is their department of the royal household, and i'm sure absolutely every precaution will be taken if they feel it is necessary but for now it very much seems a case of letting her carry on as normal as much as is possible. she has had a really difficult start to the platinum jubilee year, hasn't she? tricky on many fronts for her. could her duties perhaps be scaled back a little more than we expected?

you are right, it has been a very challenging start to the platinum jubilee year for the royal family, challenging start to the platinum jubilee yearfor the royalfamily, a number of controversies surrounding different members of the family. when it comes to the queen, however, polling does show interestingly that her popularity really hasn't changed despite the controversy. it has remained very consistently high and i think with something like this, the overwhelming feeling from the public wishing her well and really looking to her, very popular head of state, and hoping that over the next couple of weeks we can see her come through this covid period but there is obviously this wider question about her health. she has been unable to fulfil her duties in the house she would have liked for several weeks and months now due to various different forms of ill—health and i think there is starting to be an increasing awareness that there is a realisation now that they do have to be continued concessions moving forward to her advancing years. victoria murphy outside windsor castle, thank you. time to pay very close attention to

what carol is saying because we have another storm in the space ofjust a few days. what is storm franklin bringing the uk? it is few days. what is storm franklin bringing the uk?— few days. what is storm franklin bringing the uk? it is bringing very stron: bringing the uk? it is bringing very strong winds- _ bringing the uk? it is bringing very strong winds. we _ bringing the uk? it is bringing very strong winds. we have _ bringing the uk? it is bringing very strong winds. we have had - bringing the uk? it is bringing very strong winds. we have had gusts l bringing the uk? it is bringing very| strong winds. we have had gusts in excess of 70 mass per hour on the north coast of northern ireland. the coast of cumbria, as well. in addition, a lot of flood warnings across england, wales and also scotland. currently there are 228 flood warnings in force. two severe ones on the river mersey, so flood warnings means danger to life. the met office has an amber weather warning out for northern ireland. that expires at 7am today but concurrently we have a yellow weather warning from the met office for northern ireland, southern scotland, england and also wales and that runs until this afternoon, when eventually the wind will start to ease. this is storm franklin, this low pressure, but look at the size of it. you can see behind a lot of

isobars before this little ridge comes in and settle things down. today we are looking at strong winds, even through the course of this morning, up to lunchtime across england, wales. gusts of 50 to 60 mph are possible, 70 mph along the coasts. these are damaging and destructive gusts and then it slowly eases as we go through the course of the afternoon. the afternoon will be quite different from the morning and we will see some sunny spells. this morning we also have hill snow and rain crossing england and wales, sinking south and weakening, but the wind will be the future. weakening a touch in northern ireland, southern scotland through the morning, but still gusting with exposure 70 mass per hour and i stress again, about 50 to 60 in london gusts across england and wales. —— inland gusts. they will still be branches that could come down, still some disruption and of course there is a risk of flooding, as well. temperatures ranging from six in the north to about 13 in the south.

through this evening and overnight, clear skies to start, a touch of frost around. cloud builds out from the west, we will see showers and drizzle before the next band of rain arrives. this band of rain is also going to be accompanied by a squally winds so if we pick that up, this cold front. once again, look at the isobars, another windy day with gusts of wind widely 40 to 50 mph. 50 with exposure. here is this rain, some will be heavy as it continues to push southwards. not helping with the flooding situation at all. it will weaken as it gets down into the far south—east and behind it we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers and some will be it wintry, especially so in the hills in the north. as we head into wednesday, we go all again. we start off on a quiet note with a little bit of sunshine, then this next band of rain comes in, the wind strengthens, gales, especially in the north of the country. lots going on at once

again this week with the weather. thank you very much indeed. we are staying on that same subject. more than 180 flood warnings are in place across the uk this morning — as work continues to limit the impact of heavy rains brought by storm franklin. in yorkshire and manchester, some residents have been forced to leave their homes for safety. we can speak now to peterjozefczyk from glossop mountain rescue. he can bring us up to date what is happening there. what situation are you facing? happening there. what situation are ou facin: ? ,., ., ., you facing? good morning. the situation we _ you facing? good morning. the situation we are _ you facing? good morning. the situation we are facing - you facing? good morning. the situation we are facing at i you facing? good morning. the situation we are facing at the l situation we are facing at the moment is, it seems to have quietened down. the wind is still very strong. yesterday the team was involved with evacuating eight residents from the woolly bridge area of glossop, which is on the main alpha macro 57 road —— on the

she'd just won soldier of the year. thank you. is it hot? no, it's ok. the domestic violence attack left lady—marie paralysed from the chest down. she is doubly incontinent, relies heavily on carers. it's a profound injury... thank you. ..that took years to come to terms with. in the beginning stage, you know, denying that this has happened, that i'm going to be able to walk again, there's no way i'm going to accept this. and then getting very angry at the fact that nothing was happening, i'm not... you know, i'm not able to manage my own condition, all my independence had gone, i have to rely on people to do things that were once private. i started to bargain with god. i said, "well, if you heal me, then i will do this and i will do that," and of course, got to the point where i had to accept, well, this has happened, so what do i do with my life?

lady—marie went to college and university — she got a law degree. she then decided to dedicate her life to helping other people with spinal—cord injuries. how are you? nice to see you again. rose suffered severe damage to her spine after a life of helping to lift patients. she was a senior nurse in the nhs. have you spoken to her spinal nurse? yes, i spoke to... lady—marie works for the charity the spinal injuries association. she guides people to vital support. it's physical, emotional, psychological, financial — the whole gamut. i mean, it's a total toolkit, and i can only say, thank god for lady—marie coming into my life. the light has come in and it was badly needed — badly needed, indeed. take care. i look forward to seeing, catching up very soon. sustaining a spinal—cord injury doesn't mean that your life is over, because you can still be a contributor to society. all we need isjust a little help.

mount kilimanjaro — the highest peak in africa. in the summer, it will be the setting for an extraordinary challenge. martin hibbert will attempt to reach the summit in a modified wheelchair — he's hoping to raise money for the spinal injuries association. martin was left paralysed after the manchester arena terror attack. i think it's a brilliant idea, of what martin is actually trying to achieve, because it's so important for spinal—cord injury to be highlighted because it can happen to anyone at any time. i think there's not that much help out there. occupational therapy, district nursing services — there's a severe shortage, and therefore people struggle. so if we can raise the funds through what martin is doing to provide this service,

it can only go to help people with spinal—cord injury. 20 years after her injury, lady—marie started driving again in a specially modified car. she advises rail companies and airports on accessibility. she's been a consultant on the show eastenders. she is living proof that, with help, a spinal—cord injury can be overcome. i've been skiing again, which was fantastic because itjust showed me the possibilities. i went to sweden, i skied at night, saw the northern lights. i took the challenge of going over the 02 to do some fundraising. i've been rock climbing — indoors and outdoors — i've been abseiling, off—road biking. i've been... done archery. itjust goes to show that, you know, in spite of everything, we can give something back — we can still live a fulfilling life.

we'll be speaking live to lady—marie, along with martin hibbert, just after 8:30 this morning. really looking forward to that. lots to fit in for you today. we have got the very latest from carol through the morning on the latest storm, storm franklin, which is affecting quite a few people across the uk. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. days after storm eunice hit the capital, storm franklin is on its way, bringing three flood alerts for the capital. the met office has issued a yellow warning for london and the south east. it said strong winds could be a risk to buildings, trees and cause power cuts. once again most of london's train operators are urging

passengers not to travel unless it's absolutely essential. network rail has spent the weekend clearing debris on the tracks and says it's trying to minimise disruption. thousands of rail colleagues have been out over the last few days and nights clearing up the wreckage. we're doing our absolute best to keep the railways open, but my advice before you travel today or tomorrow is to check before you travel with your train operator, to check that your train is running. the o2 arena will remain closed until later this week, after it was damaged in friday's storm. in a statement, the venue said it would stay shut until the 25th february to give it time to carry out necessary works on the roof. shows and events due to take place over the next few days will be re—scheduled. british airways passengers arriving at heathrow claim they had to wait up to four hours for their luggage, while some had to go home without it. pictures from this weekend appear to show suitcases piled up at the airport. ba has apologised and said it's

dealing with "operational issues" due to the bad weather. it's now sending the bags to their owners and offering compensation. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. the overground is part suspended. and there are severe delays on thejubilee and metropolitan line. on to the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. we're starting off the new working week with yet another met office weather warning in place for the strength of the winds — this time from storm franklin. now this is a yellow weather warning. it's the lowest level of alert, but still to be taken seriously. plenty of structures already weakened by storm eunice, of course, on friday. we could still see gusts today of around 50 to 60 miles an hour — they wentjust over 60 miles an hour yesterday as that squall line came through, you'll have noticed that. the warning is in place until one o'clock this afternoon, but the winds are fairly light

at first — 20—30mph gusts — it's also quite a chilly start to the morning. the winds will ramp up as we head through the morning — those gusts of maybe just over 50 to 60 miles an hour. some areas of rain and some cloud just coming down from the northwest on that brisk wind. but there'll be lots of sunshine into the afternoon. the warning expires and the winds will lighten. top temperatures between 11 and 13 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, yes, the winds are lighter. clear skies at first, temperatures dropping to four or five degrees celsius. but then we've got another front coming through into tomorrow morning, so the temperatures will rise and there'll be a lot more in the way of cloud. highs tomorrow of around 14 degrees celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today... a third major storm in less than a week. strong winds hit much of the uk, as hundreds of people are evacuated from their homes over fears of flooding. and although the amber weather

warning. frank and for northern ireland expires at seven in still another wind warning out across england, wales, northern ireland and southern scotland for damaging wind gusts and disruption. the queen will carry out light duties after testing positive for coronavirus. the palace says she is experiencing "mild" symptoms. is the end of all covid restrictions in england? the prime minister will set out his plans later today, including scrapping the legal requirement to self—isolate. i will be speaking businesses and staff here in the midlands. biden agrees to meet putin in a last—ditch effort to prevent war in ukraine. apres ski. we bid farewell to beijing.. we'll be reflecting on the highs and lows of the winter olympics as team gb return home with just one gold and one silver medal. it is monday, the 21st of february.

a third named storm in less than a week is sweeping across the uk this morning, bringing high winds and heavy rain. storm franklin has already caused severe flooding in parts of northern ireland, while in yorkshire and greater manchester people have been forced to leave their homes for safety. will bachelor has more. it came from the west. storm franklin battered the irish coast before causing heavy rainfall across northern ireland. counties londonderry and tyrone suffered the worst of the flooding, with the river in 0magh among those close to bursting its banks. an amber wind warning is in force for the north of northern ireland until 7am today. wales, too, was badly hit by flooding. this torrent in powys is usually a small stream. last night, in nearby llandinam, seven people were rescued by boat after the river severn burst its banks. siren wails northern england may have avoided the worst of storms

eunice and dudley, but it's bearing the brunt of franklin. that's the flood warning siren for todmorden in west yorkshire. this equipment was supposed to be working on future flood defences on the river aire at kirkstall until it was washed away. in hebden bridge, the river close to bursting its banks and more high water in matlock, sheffield, barnsley, kirklees. this is knaresborough, where residents and their pets were rescued from a flooded holiday park. and in south manchester, more than 400 homes were being evacuated last night after two severe flood warnings on the river mersey indicated a danger to life. in liverpool, the mersey looked extremely choppy as this tug boat went to work. and a bumpy ride too for this police helicopter above the wirral. plenty more journeys will be disrupted by franklin this morning, as train lines are flooded and blocked with fallen trees.

south western, great western and avanti among the operators urging passengers to cancel or delay their journey. and with wind warnings still in place this morning, the full extent of the damage is yet to be assessed. will batchelor, bbc news. in a moment, we will get the latest from northern ireland but first our reporter nick garnett is in south manchester this morning. nick, what's the situation like there now? right, the water levels are dropping, and that is the good news. they are dropping from the highest level ever. there is so much water. it has brought up so much debris to completely close this road. it is only going down to the golf course. probably not going to be much golf there today because it is used as a flood plain. the golf course is

completely covered just to alleviate some of the worst water levels. the water levels have already dropped by two metres and you can see how high they are now, which means there was an awful lot of water in there. 430 homes were identified as being at risk. they were told to leave their homes and move to other accommodation or at least be ready to go to other accommodation. most people stayed in their homes. at about midnight water levels began to drop. you can see from here, there are carpets, football is good trees, branches. an absolutely huge task to try and get this amount of wood and debris cleared from here. it will take an awful long time before this road is open. the great news is it looks as though houses have been protected. looks as though houses have been rotected. , ., , looks as though houses have been rotected. , .,, ,., looks as though houses have been rotected. , .,, y., northern ireland has also been

hit by severe flooding over the past 24 hours. our correspondent, louise cullen, is in ballycastle and joins us now. louise, what's the latest? well, the amber warning. winds has just lapsed but yellow warning remains in place till midday and it is still very blustery. some of the wind speeds recorded overnight right down to county down have been close to 80 miles an hour. inland, speeds of 60 mph had been recorded. that has brought down trees and caused power cuts across northern ireland with more than 5000 homes without power at the minute. northern ireland electricity says that is half as many as were off at the peak of the storm overnight. has also been severe flooding, counties londonderry and tyrone have been worst affected. there have been

pumps put into place. as i say, the amber warning hasjust pumps put into place. as i say, the amber warning has just lapsed. there are continuing strong winds this morning which has impacted travel. roads are blocked with fallen trees but there have also been delays and cancellations for ferries and flights overnight yesterday and continuing now into this morning. the advice is to be careful, stay safe if you do have to travel this morning. the lights starting to come up morning. the lights starting to come up with boats clanking in the harbour in the strong wind. the damage will be assessed in daylight and then of course the clean—up begins. and then of course the clean-up beains. . ~' ,. and then of course the clean-up betins. . ~' ,. , and then of course the clean-up betins. ., ,, y., , ., ., the queen will continue with "light duties" today after she tested positive for covid. palace officials say her symptoms are mild and that she'll be receiving medical attention and following all guidelines. our royal correspondent daniela relph is outside windsor castle. daniela, the palace statement is quite positive. will there be more

concern in private? morning. i think the mood at windsor castle is one of caution. no major cause for alarm. officials say the queen is suffering from mild cold like symptoms at the moment. we had a short statement from them yesterday confirming the queen had tested positive for covid. a couple of interesting extra bits which give a clue as to how things are in that statement. firstly that she does want to carry on with light duties, as officials put it this week. that means going through the paperwork in state boxes, looking through correspondence and perhaps taking a phone call. giving a sense it will be business as usual as much as possible for the queen. she signed off yesterday morning the message of congratulations to the olympic hurlers. a sense of business as

usual in the queen carrying on as usual. . there are serious aggravating factors here. the queen is 95, nearly 96 years old and considerably frailer than a year ago. we can expect a medical team to keep a close eye on her over the course of the next few days. the last remaining covid restrictions in england are set to be lifted, including the legal requirement to self—isolate after testing positive. the prime minister will outline his plans later today but critics say the move is premature and driven by political considerations. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, how will this be received by mps? morning. there will be lots of conservative mps who will be very pleased about this. they will even be light touch covid restrictions were too heavy for them. labour is

making a point this may be being done on a political timetable to please them rather than the right time for the country. scientists seem to be split but plenty of scientists say the balance of risk has changed and the cost of covid restrictions and lots of testing are greater than the risk of covid now so many people have been vaccinated. we will find out the details around 3:30pm when the prime minister goes to parliament and he will do a televised news conference around tea—time. we think the key thing will be the removal of the legal restriction in england if you test positive. then what will happen with testing? it looks like universal provision of free lateral flow test and pcr tests will gradually be phased out and then it will be more targeted. the onus will full on the vaccines. suggesting people who are vulnerable because of age and

underlying health conditions will still be getting visitors. in time yet. we will have to keep an eye on the virus itself, which is still circulating around the world and will continue to circulate because it will never disappear entirely. we will have to keep a night on mutations and variations in case it gets more dangerous. the prime minister will wrap this up in a message of national pride that we have got this far, we have survived this far. there will be a balance, acknowledging the fact some people will be sick from covid and many will be sick from covid and many will be sick from covid and many will be anxious about the decisions they may have to make for themselves.— they may have to make for themselves. ., ,, , ., ., ., us presidentjoe biden has agreed, in principle, to hold talks with the russian leader, vladimir putin, to discuss the crisis in ukraine. the white house said the meeting will only go ahead if russia does not invade its neighbour. let's speak to our kyiv correspondent, james waterhouse. morning, james, are we closer to a diplomatic solution this morning?

morning. i don't think we are close about the search does continue, which will be welcome news to everyone here, i think. yesterday, in response to russia's decision to leave an estimated 30,000 troops to the north in belarus, the us said we could be on the brink of war. some us media reporting vladimir putin had already given the order, in fact. today president macron, who is seeing himself as a mediator, we had heard details of his cool with vladimir putin yesterday. they spoke for three hours and vladimir putin talked about his security concerns and potential membership of ukraine to nato. he also talked about the escalation of things in the east of the country with russian backed militants. he agreed once again to engage with the peace process, the until now failed peace process in

that region. president biden has agreed to a potential meeting on the basis russia does not invade that officials will thrash out the details. there has been an increase in fighting details. there has been an increase infighting in details. there has been an increase in fighting in the east of the country. the militants, the separatist militants and the army accusing each other of shell attacks. as far as the west is concerned this is moscow trying to have a false justification for of ukraine. putin says that is why he is leaving more and not his troops on the border of ukraine. tensions are by no means going down but the diplomatic search for an answer for now is continuing. tributes are being paid to music entrepreneurjamal edwards, who has died at the age of 31. he founded the music platform sbtv, which helped launch the careers of artists like dave, ed sheeran and jessie j. the organisers of the mobo awards said his groundbreaking work

and legacy in british culture would live on. it's 7:13am. lots of you are probably waking up around now wondering what the weather will be like today if you are about to leave the house. it is windy. slightly more complicated than that. the amber weather warning the met office had out. franklin for northern ireland has nowjust expired. there is still a yellow weather warning enforceable much of the uk. still the risk of damaging and disruptive dusts. in northern ireland they have had gas at 270 mph. —— gusts. it is a windy start to the day. storm franklin continuing to push away onto the

near continent. it is a huge area of low pressure. until the ridge of high pressure comes in later we are not out of the woods yet. the strongest winds continuing to push across the country in southern scotland, england and wales through the rest of the morning. inland gas at 50 miles an hour, possibly more. exposure along the irish sea, we could have gusts up to 70 mph. we have had two storms already and debris flying around. still the potential of more of that before storm franklin moves away. very slowly the winds will ease this afternoon. it will still be windy into the afternoon and temperature —wise we're looking at between to 12 degrees. the end of the day will be vastly different to the start. —— between five to 12 to —— degrees.

as we've been reporting this morning, the prime minister boris johnson is expected to announce an end to the remaining covid restrictions in england. but what will it mean for employers and employees? sarah's at a workplace in the east midlands to find out. yes, good morning. this is a big shift for businesses. not only are they starting to welcome more staff back into the office, they are setting out their own covid policies. welcome to the office of cooper parry — an accountants based here at east midlands airport. they have got a free breakfast on this morning to encourage more staff back into the office. the prime minister is expected to set out his living with covid plan later. that is likely to include dropping all rules in england. that has thrown up some questions for companies and staff, especially around financial support. at the moment those on low

incomes can claim up to £500 if they are off with covid. it is unclear at this stage whether that will continue. what about statutory sick pay? at the moment you can claim on day one of covid. unions are worried that could be dropped and unions will pay on day four, bringing it in line with other businesses. lots to talk about. what are your rights as a worker? let's have a chat with april at the chief people officer here at cooper parry. some people may feel nervous that restrictions are being lifted, especially if they are being lifted, especially if they are clinically vulnerable with underlying health concerns. how would you address some of the worries? brute would you address some of the worries? ~ . ., ., , , worries? we have a really flexible at roach worries? we have a really flexible approach to _ worries? we have a really flexible approach to work _ worries? we have a really flexible approach to work and _ worries? we have a really flexible approach to work and have - worries? we have a really flexible approach to work and have a i worries? we have a really flexible approach to work and have a work from _ approach to work and have a work from anywhere for ever so people can decide _ from anywhere for ever so people can decide what— from anywhere for ever so people can decide what is best for them. we are asking _ decide what is best for them. we are asking people to behave responsibly.

people who were hired to work for a design agency that turned out to be fake. through an online web of phoney profiles, stolen work and lies, the group was led to believe they were joining a successful business. catrin nye has been investigating the story. just over a year ago, james harris from york was desperately searching forjobs online. he'd applied for more than 2,000 before landing a great—looking role with a glamorous design agency called mad bird. i was buzzing — absolutely buzzing that i'd finally found a job that i knew i could, like, progress in. one of my best friends, helen was like, "oh, my god, this is it, jim — this is it!" more than 50 people from all over the world got a job at mad bird between mid 2020 and early 2021 — when the pandemic was raging. they were impressed by the company's client list. nike, samsonite, national geographic — that sounds like big budget, as well. and i showed it to lots of people who i know who are in the same industry as me, and they all agreed — it looked great. it's established. it's based in kensington. mad bird's ambitious recruits were told they'd only earn commission for the first six months,

before getting a salary if they pass their probation. that didn't seem like a problem, given the impressive clients the agency already had. are you web—based ? everyone worked remotely — some for almost six months. the sales team was in talks with some big clients. if you guys have any questions, feel free to ask me. have a good weekend. but then, everything changed. i've received an e—mail from jane smith, who i wasn't familiar with. the rest of the mad bird employees were ccd in. i'm like, "jane smith? who's jane smith? " "for the attention of mad bird employees. some shocking evidence has come to light regarding mad bird." and as i was reading the e—mail, my mouth kept dropping, like... "we have strong reason to suspect that the founders of mad bird have knowingly participated in the following activities." all of the work was stolen.

that bombshell e—mail from an unknown whistle—blower claimed to have evidence that mad bird was a fake design agency. the work on the website was stolen, several staff members didn't really exist, and mad bird's impressive client list wasn't real. i've literally been here for, like, two months. working for, like, how many hours, not getting paid, telling people to do this. recruiting people to a fake company... i've spent the last year investigating the truth behind mad bird. i found many more victims and reams of fakery. one of the co—founders of the company didn't exist — his picture turned out to belong to a beehive designerfrom prague — and other staff members turned out to be fake, too. an entire pitch document that staff had been using to try and get work was stolen from another design agency. so who was behind this elaborate con? our investigations all led us to one man — mad bird's charismatic boss ali ayad.

he was the director of the company, he looked like an influencer — appearing in gq magazine — and had claimed to have worked for nike. but all that turned out to be lies, too. we needed to speak to ali. hi, ali ayad. my name's catrin nye, i'm from the bbc. come on, it's time to talk to us, ali. why did you make up a fake company and then take advantage of people when they were at their most desperate? your version of the story. 0k? we have been waiting to hear your version of the story, ali, for months. you don't know all the things behind the story. you have heard one version of the story. you need to see two sides of the story. will you say sorry to the people who you hurt? i'm s o rry? whose lives and time you wasted? if i hurt somebody — if i hurt somebody, of course i'm sorry, but i'm telling you there's another version of the story. was there another version of the story? as far as we knew, ali ayad didn't make any money from mad bird — he insisted he was trying to create opportunities for people

during the pandemic. one thing we did know — many people around the world had been job—fished and needed answers. catrin nye, bbc news. you can watchjobfished on bbc three at 9pm tonight. it will also be available on the bbc iplayer. ididn't i didn't know about that phrase until today. over the last two years, australia has seen some of the world's toughest covid travel restrictions. but today the country is finally opening its borders to vaccinated tourists. the independent�*s travel correspondent, simon calder, was on the first international flight to arrive into sydney this morning. hejoins us now. a beautiful backdrop. good morning. simon, lovely to speak to you on the programme. given idea of what sort of travel restrictions you have to go through. what was it like to be

my red flowering gun. it was a great scene of welcome. you can tell why. i came down to the harbour, walking around the wonderful opera house. you have the harbour bridge over here. what you don't have is any tourists. the two main markets are china and new zealand. they are basically closed with a not sending anybody anywhere. instead of having coming here we are now at 5:30pm, this would usually be thronged with tourists. there are a few locals around and that is it. we tourists. there are a few locals around and that is it.— tourists. there are a few locals around and that is it. we do love a koala run the _ around and that is it. we do love a koala run the programme. - around and that is it. we do love a koala run the programme. that. around and that is it. we do love a koala run the programme. that is| around and that is it. we do love a i koala run the programme. that is the most exciting thing we have seen so far today, great. most exciting thing we have seen so fartoday, great. —— a most exciting thing we have seen so far today, great. —— a koala on the programme. they are heading into autumn and winter and the traditional tourist season is months away. i

yourself. that's not happening, no witchcraft climbs today, for example. —— bridge climbs. also hoping that people have not written it off because they had to keep out signs for a couple of years. how has the average — signs for a couple of years. how has the average aussie _ signs for a couple of years. how has the average aussie been _ signs for a couple of years. how has the average aussie been feeling - the average aussie been feeling about this?— the average aussie been feeling about this? . ~ ., , ., , about this? talking to people in the tourism industry, _ about this? talking to people in the tourism industry, they _ about this? talking to people in the tourism industry, they desperate i about this? talking to people in the| tourism industry, they desperate for people to come back. this is a tourist city. looking around here, you are simply not seeing the numbers you would normally expect. they hope numbers will start to build up that they are going into winter. you can see there is a bit of a storm coming, winter is coming. they have been very welcoming. in particular, if you are a younger person, they are desperate for working holiday—makers out here.

anyone aged 18 to 30, so that will suit the two love you, you pan come out and get a job in a bar basically now. one lady in a cafe was asking for anyone who could come and work. i am on my way! great to see you. it is incredible to think that is the first time simon has been out in a really long time. not as sunny as i was hoping but i still feel i have had a bit of february sunshine. the storm was coming. i hope that has picked you up. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. days after storm eunice hit the capital, storm franklin is on its way. bringing three flood alerts to the capital. the met office has issued a yellow warning for london and the south east.

it says strong winds could be a risk to buildings, trees and cause power cuts. most of london's train operators are urging passengers not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary. network rail has spent the weekend clearing debris on the tracks and says it's trying to minimise disruption. thousands of rail colleagues have been out over the last few days and nights clearing up the wreckage. we're doing our absolute best to keep the railways open, but my advice before you travel today or tomorrow is to check before you travel with your train operator, to check that your train is running. the o2 arena will remain closed until later this week, after it was damaged in friday's storm. in a statement the venue said it would stay shut until the 25th february to give it time to carry out necessary works on the roof. shows and events due to take place over the next few days will be rescheduled. british airways passengers arriving at heathrow claim they had to wait up to four hours for their luggage,

while some had to go home without it. pictures from this weekend appear to show suitcases piled up at the airport. ba has apologised and said it's dealing with "operational issues due to the bad weather". it's now sending the bags to their owners and offering compensation. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. we're starting off the new working week with yet another met office weather warning in place for the strength of the winds — this time from storm franklin. now this is a yellow weather warning — it's the lowest level of alert, but still to be taken seriously. plenty of structures already weakened by storm eunice, of course, on friday. we could still see gusts today

of around 50 to 60 miles an hour — they wentjust over 60 miles an hour yesterday as that squall line came through, you'll have noticed that. the warning is in place until one o'clock this afternoon, but the winds are fairly light at first — 20—30mph gusts — it's also quite a chilly start to the morning. the winds will ramp up as we head through the morning — those gusts of maybe just over 50 to 60 miles an hour. some areas of rain and some cloud just coming down from the northwest on that brisk wind. but there'll be lots of sunshine into the afternoon. the warning expires and the winds will lighten. top temperatures between 11 and 13 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, yes, the winds are lighter. clear skies at first, temperatures dropping to four or five degrees celsius. but then we've got another front coming through into tomorrow morning, so the temperatures will rise and there'll be a lot more in the way of cloud. highs tomorrow of around 1a degrees celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. bye for now.

happy that we played germany and that we already played canada, because we need these games to develop and to be experts at the highest level. also in england's group at the euros, northern ireland. they put in an impressive showing as simone magill scored twice to draw 2—2 with switzerland — a team 29 places higher than them in the world rankings. no six nations this weekend, but plenty of rugby on, as exeter edged past newcastle in the premiership after a late joe simmonds penalty. the hosts were leading going into the closing stages, before this kick saw the chiefs nick it byjust a point — 15—1li. exeter are up to fifth whilst newcastle stay in eleventh. ulster are up to second in the united rugby championship after beating the dragons 12—0. the game was played in tough conditions but a a couple of tries from the away side, including this one from john andrew saw them over the line.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today... a third major storm in less than a week — strong winds hit much of the uk as hundreds of people are evacuated from their homes and some train lines are flooded. strongest gusts of wind and leading away from northern ireland but they are pushing east across the rest of northern ireland, southern scotland, england and wales causing damage. the queen will carry out light duties after testing positive for coronavirus. the palace says she is experiencing "mild" symptoms. good morning. is it the entity will covid restrictions in england? the prime minister will set out his plans later today, including scrapping the legal requirement to self—isolate. i will speak to businesses and employees here in the

east of england. presidet biden agrees to meet putin in a last—ditch effort to prevent war in ukraine. team gb head home from beijing. as the olympians board their planes back to great britain, uk sport is forced to reflect on why they're returning with just one gold and one silver medal. it is monday, the 21st of february. a third named storm in less than a week is sweeping across the uk this morning, bringing high winds and heavy rain. storm franklin has already caused severe flooding in parts of northern ireland, while in yorkshire and greater manchester people have been forced to leave their homes for safety. will batchelor has more. it came from the west. storm franklin battered the irish coast — this is county mayo in the republic — before causing heavy rainfall across northern ireland. counties londonderry and tyrone suffered the worst of the flooding, with the river in omagh among those close to bursting its banks. an amber wind warning is in force for the north

of northern ireland until 7am today. wales, too, was badly hit by flooding. this torrent in powys is usually a small stream. last night, in nearby llandinam, seven people were rescued by boat after the river severn burst its banks. siren wails northern england may have avoided the worst of storms eunice and dudley, but it's bearing the brunt of franklin. that's the flood warning siren for todmorden in west yorkshire. this equipment was supposed to be working on future flood defences on the river aire at kirkstall until it was washed away. in hebden bridge, the river close to bursting its banks and more high water in matlock, sheffield, barnsley, kirklees. this is knaresborough, where residents and their pets were rescued from a flooded holiday park. and in south manchester, more than 400 homes were being evacuated last night after two severe flood warnings on the river mersey

indicated a danger to life. in liverpool, the mersey looked extremely choppy as this tug boat went to work. and a bumpy ride too for this police helicopter above the wirral. plenty more journeys will be disrupted by franklin this morning, as train lines are flooded and blocked with fallen trees. south western, great western and avanti among the operators urging passengers to cancel or delay their journey. and this was the scene at rotherham station last night. no trains there today nor bus replacement services. and with wind warnings still in place this morning, the full extent of the damage is yet to be assessed. will batchelor, bbc news. in a moment, we will get the latest from northern ireland but first our reporter nick garnett is in south manchester this morning. we can see behind you the sort of damage the weather has caused. just

what we damage the weather has caused. jut what we didn't need, it has been heavily raining for the last few minutes as well. look at the river mersey! there is so much water in their it has brought down trees which has brought all this rubbish and debris into the lane. no way through there today. 430 homes were deemed to be at risk of flooding overnight stop people were told that they wanted to leave they couldn't stay in rest centres. in the end not many did. the flooding has been saved by the opening of huge floodgates further downstream which have flooded a golf course and a woodland as well to try and make sure the flooding did not affect the actual houses stop the problem is on the roads and the railway. the m 60, there is a closure to to a lorry

overturning in high whence. rotherham station this morning looks like a venetian canal. —— hi winds. north and say there are lots of problems. an awful lot of the network is effected —— is affected. they are urging people not to travel unless absolutely essential. northern ireland has also been hit by severe flooding over the past 2a hours. our correspondent, louise cullen, is in ballycastle and joins us now. louise, what's the latest? it looks to me like things are getting worse than earlier, what is it like now? we getting worse than earlier, what is it like now?— it like now? we have had this discussion. _ it like now? we have had this discussion. it _ it like now? we have had this discussion. it felt _ it like now? we have had this discussion. it felt like - it like now? we have had this discussion. it felt like the - it like now? we have had this. discussion. it felt like the wind had eased but it has picked up our. there is a yellow warning in place

right through to midday. —— picked up right through to midday. —— picked up now stop the number of houses without electricity has more than halved since the peak of the storm during the night. there been transport disruptions with berries and flights facing cancellations and delays. certainly this morning. flooding was a major issue, certainly in county tyrone where pumps were deployed. there have been other sports grounds around the country which had been submerged with floodwaters as well. the window still is pretty strong. power is returning. roads are being cleared and people will be coming out this morning looking at the bruce and trying to see what damage has been done. —— at their roofs. wind speeds

of almost 80 mph were recorded in county derry and county down, the length of the coast. what is thought to have been the highest wind gust overnight was recorded in county donegal, just over 80 mph. it has been buffeted few days with the storms. lots of damage to repair and the cost of the damage still to be assessed. all the eyes will be on the weather forecast for the next few days. the weather forecast for the next few da s. . ~ the weather forecast for the next few da s. ., ,, i. the weather forecast for the next few da s. . ~' ,, , the weather forecast for the next fewda s. ., ,, , . the weather forecast for the next fewda s. ., , . few days. thank you very much. more from carol in — few days. thank you very much. more from carol in the _ few days. thank you very much. more from carol in the next _ few days. thank you very much. more from carol in the next hour. _ the queen will continue with "light duties" today after she tested positive for covid. palace officials say her symptoms are mild and that she'll be receiving medical attention and following all guidelines. our royal correspondent daniela relph is outside windsor castle. daniela, the palace

statement is quite positive. yes. i think it does. i would describe it as cautious, no sense of alarm at this point stop we know the queen are suffering from mild, cold like symptoms. the statement we got yesterday confirming she had tested positive for covid. not a lot more information but a bit of information to give sa few clues to the mead music around windsor castle. —— give us a few clues. she wants to continue with light duties, like dealing with some of the paperwork in the red boxes of state she has. even taking phone calls if she feels well enough. yesterday morning she signed off the message of congratulations to the olympic

curling team. there are really important aggravating factors which need to be considered. the queen is 95, nearly 96. that puts her immediately on the vulnerable category. she is looking a lot thinner and frailer than she was a year ago and doctors will be monitoring had very closely this week. do not expect daily updates from royal officials but they will tell us if there is something significant to say.— tell us if there is something significant to say. the last remaining covid restrictions in england are set to be lifted, including the legal requirement to self—isolate after testing positive. the prime minister will outline his plans later today but critics say the move is premature and driven by political considerations. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, how will this be received by mps? morning. how will this be received by mps today?— by mps today? quite a lot of conservative _ by mps today? quite a lot of conservative mps _ by mps today? quite a lot of conservative mps will - by mps today? quite a lot of conservative mps will be - by mps today? quite a lot of| conservative mps will be very by mps today? quite a lot of - conservative mps will be very happy because they thought even light

touch covid restrictions were too heavy—handed. labour is saying the prime minister is acting to a political timetable rather than looking at the data. the prime minister first suggested these restrictions would be lifted earlier than planned right when his leadership seemed most under threat a couple of weeks ago. the cabinet will look at the long—term plan for living with covid shortly and i will be a statement in parliament mid—afternoon. they are thinking about doing a downing street conference at tea—time as well. in terms of what it will contain, they think they will see the end of legal requirement to isolate if you test positive. we also think there will be a gradual phasing out of the three universal covid testing, both the pcr and lateral flow tests. that will be targeted at saving money. focus will be on the continued

vaccination programme. more boosters for people who are vulnerable due to age or underlying health conditions. you do get scientists advising the government that covid will circulate in the world pretty much forever, it will not be completely eradicated and we will need to keep an ion any variations. it could get milder, like omicron, or it could get more severe as with other variants over the years to come. us presidentjoe biden has agreed, in principle, to hold talks with the russian leader, vladimir putin, to discuss the crisis in ukraine. the white house said the meeting will only go ahead if russia does not invade its neighbour. let's speak to our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg. morning, steve. are we nearing some sort of diplomatic solution, do you think? well, possibly. ithink diplomatic solution, do you think? well, possibly. i think we need to be a bit cautious about all of this. the kremlin has not confirmed any of

this. although the white house and the nsa palace have said the principle of the us, russia summit has been agreed they also say it can only happen if there is no russian military escalation in ukraine. america is still saying it believes russia is continuing preparations for a full—scale assault on ukraine, thatis for a full—scale assault on ukraine, that is the first thing. the second thing, for such a summit to materialise, there is lots of diplomacy still to be done. anthony benton will reach the russian foreign minister to prepare the substance, if you like, for such a summit. if that will happen, it will need the political will of the kremlin and it will also require the very fee bra situation in eastern ukraine not to spin out of control. —— very febrile. i was watching

russian tv�*s flagship new show last night. it was saying, who needs war in ukraine, the programme asked. the anchor reeled off a whole list of names, joe biden, borisjohnson, prince charles and prince andrew. an extraordinary alternative reality. one may not in the list was vladimir putin. tributes are being paid to music entrepreneurjamal edwards, who has died at the age of 31. he founded the music platform sbtv, which helped launch the careers of artists like dave, ed sheeran and jessie j. the organisers of the mobo awards said his groundbreaking work and legacy in british culture would live on. those are some of the main story is

this monday morning. one thing we were talking a lot about today and at the weekend is the weather. another storm. we started this morning and yesterday with an amber weather warning from the met office for northern ireland. to wins. there is a yellow weather warning, valid for northern ireland, southern scotland, england and also wales for the next few hours. it runs out at one o'clock today. we are not out of the woods in terms of the strength of wind. it is starting to ease slightly. forthe of wind. it is starting to ease slightly. for the rest of northern ireland, southern scotland, england and wales we are looking at gusts over 60 miles an hour. still damaging and disruptive gusts. this afternoon original high pressure starts to build across us. it will

still be a pretty windy day. bear in mind we have just had two storms hot on the heels of each other. this one, things are fairly loose so you may well find structural damage are possibly treat still to come down for the temperatures today ranging from five in the north to 12 in the south. also a band of raymond hill snow sinking south. as it moves south—east it will peter out. this evening and overnight we start off dry with clear skies. not long before more cloud and showers come in from the west. then this band of rain which will be heavier. when it will also come squarely wins and we will also come squarely wins and we will have them with us tomorrow. they're not out of the woods yet in terms of the wind. it will not be as strong as it has been or will be today. important information for you. later today, the prime minister will lay out his vision

for repealing all remaining covid restrictions in england, saying his plan will bring the country "towards a return to normality." despite this, he's warning that we shouldn't "throw caution to the wind" as the virus still remains dangerous for some. so, what will change? it's expected that by the end of the week the legal requirement to self—isolate will be scrapped for those who test positive, and will be replaced with advice instead. free lateral flow and pcr testing are likely to be rolled back. the vaccine programme will remain open to anyone who hasn't had their doses yet. across the rest of the uk, in northern ireland, restrictions are no longer legally—binding. wales is at alert level zero, which is the lowest level of covid rules. and in scotland, the first minister is due to update msps tomorrow. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been speaking to people across england about the incoming changes. it's been a while since i've worn this level of ppe for an interview, but you'll understand why when you consider that juliette coffer, who has a severe lung condition,

hasn't left her home for more than 850 days. thre are days when i feel like literally the house is closing in on me. there's days i want to see the sea. there's days i want to go and see my parents. all these things that people do normally. when people start going out and you see their facebook posts, and you see people at adventure parks or at dinner, or out with friends and you think, "the world's leaving me behind here." and you do get that sense that we're very much left behind because there's not enough measures in place to make it safe for us to be out. juliette is extremely clinically vulnerable and extremely concerned that all restrictions in england are being swept away. i don't understand why people can't put a mask on when they're in an enclosed area, why they can't stay home where they are covid positive.

and ijust don't get why my life isn't valuable enough for society to take on those measures, so that everybody can have a plan to live with covid. notjust the people who are able to. community pharmacies have been among the unsung heroes of the fight against the pandemic, providing front line care support and advice to millions of people. andy williams is anxious that the gains we've made against covid could now be undermined. we have also seen lots of people, whose journey during the pandemic has been quite traumatic. they have really worked, you know... they're making tender steps out because of their own personal frailties. and what we don't want to do is to see that they feel that the rug is being pulled underneath their feet, and in some way, they need to then make a decision to absorb themselves away

from our wider society. we've got three different rolls of material. - we have a blue, which is waterproof, slightly waterproof, _ i we have the antibacterial layerl and we have the welding layer — a transparent material. when the pandemic began to take hold two years ago, this air filtration firm used its expertise to start manufacturing facemasks. they set up this factory in rural herefordshire, where they make a million masks a day and will continue to do so. the requirement, even a medical grade type 2 mask in all of the hospitals around europe pre—pandemic is related maybe to only i% of our production capacity. so we are going to continue and we are going to continue to provide to the united kingdom and europe, making us, as a nation, independent from those overseas suppliers. two lots of ear loop. few lives have been left untouched

by the impact of covid. roger powell lost his job in the first lockdown, but was then employed here when production ramped up. i couldn't have asked for a better outcome. two years ago, i was looking for probably a part time job because people won't want to take a 64—year—old. but dean offered me the job and i haven't looked back. it's been fantastic. this group of builders merchants, who work for selco across the uk haven't got together socially for two years — until tonight — where they're striking out at the lanes bowling alley in bristol. we used to have an occasion like this once a month, yeah. so we've missed out mostly two years' worth of it. yeah. i mean, how important is it to do something like this? very. they work in birmingham, we work in bristol,

people work in wales, and it's times when you meet up like this, you can actually discuss things that you don't normally discuss. so one it's about the business side of it, but then again, it's building bonds with the guys in birmingham. so yeah, it is important. the debate about if, when and by how much restrictions should be lifted goes on. meanwhile, what was once mandatory now becomes discretionary. the decisions are all ours to make. john maguire, bbc news. we're joined now by our regular covid panel, virologist dr chris smith and public health expert professor linda bauld, to answer any of your questions about the changes. carol asks:

how will we track new variations of covid after we "get back to normal?" good question. this is a heated debate about this as we look to less testing availability around the uk. how we pick up new variants is through genomic sequencing. we get a sample of the virus, normally from the pcr test, one of the throat and no swaps you take at the moment if you have symptoms. we look for genetic material of the virus. we then do surveillance, so we combine it with epidemiological information and try to identify whether there is and try to identify whether there is a variant and how common it is. we do with the samples as we have already sequenced... we normally sequence a proportion of them, 20% of the test in the uk, or 10%.

really important we continue to do that. a consortium of many academic groups around the uk has sequenced around half of the samples we have had for sequencing around the world and picked up the alpha variant in kent, scientists in south africa through genomic sequencing picked up omicron. it is really important to continue that work and that means we will continue to have samples. not at the scale we do, testing is reduced. but there are still samples that might be in health care settings or maybe for some people travelling, etc. really important to continue that. when we have a variant in the future we worry about. there is a query about how many test will be sequenced in future. chris, julie asks: why can't older people, or those with underlying health conditions, get a fourth jab or second booster, especially if there is a higher risk of becoming seriously

ill from covid? everyone seems to be talking about getting back to normal. there are many for whom normality seems to be a very long way off. what do you make of that? the a very long way off. what do you make of that?— a very long way off. what do you make of that? the answer at the moment is _ make of that? the answer at the moment is we — make of that? the answer at the moment is we do _ make of that? the answer at the moment is we do not _ make of that? the answer at the moment is we do not know. - make of that? the answer at the moment is we do not know. we| make of that? the answer at the i moment is we do not know. we are make of that? the answer at the - moment is we do not know. we are in listening _ moment is we do not know. we are in listening and — moment is we do not know. we are in listening and learning mode. we have 'ust listening and learning mode. we have iust gone _ listening and learning mode. we have just gone through the vista programme. actually what researchers are doing _ programme. actually what researchers are doing is _ programme. actually what researchers are doing is collecting samples from people _ are doing is collecting samples from people and seeing how the protections that are being conferred on recipients play out. how long will protection last for? will it be long—lived? it will not confer any additional— long—lived? it will not confer any additional benefit. at the moment it is observation only, we are very well— is observation only, we are very well protected as a community having been vaccinated and booster, now it is about _ been vaccinated and booster, now it is about determining what the booster— is about determining what the booster does long—term to our immune

trial from are receiving. it was tested in a trialfrom pfizer. children are smaller in stature and researchers were particularly interested to see if there were any side—effects, of which they found very few in the trial. children vaccinated in the us used that dose. i would not say skip it now. the main reason i would say take it up if you want, and it is an offer to parents and children in five to 11—year—olds go beyond the group at clinical risk that were identified, the reason i would say take it now is for a couple of things. there may be12—year—olds who receive these lower doses because the practicality rolling out the system for example for a year group, where you might have those aged 11 and 12 in a year group. they have said we will give the doses to younger children to prepare for

future waves of infection. better to get it now because you never know after the two doses 12 weeks apart, they may get another dose. if it is convenient, come forward and take up the vaccine for the 11—year—old. when you are at secondary school there may be another round but we do not know that yet. good advice. take up the vaccine if you are given the chance. thank you for answering all those questions and thank you for everyone who wrote in with the questions this morning. i think they have answered hundreds and hundreds of questions haven't they? you keep sending their men and we will continue to ask the questions for you. carol is with us in the next half an hour telling us what the weather will be like for the next few days. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. days after storm eunice hit the capital, we now

have storm franklin — bringing three three flood have storm franklin — bringing three flood alerts. the met office has issued a yellow warning for london and the south east. it says said strong winds could be a risk to buildings, trees and cause power cuts. once again most of london's train operators are urging passengers not to travel unless it's absolutely essential. network rail has spent the weekend clearing debris on the tracks, and says it's trying to minimise disruption. thousands of rail colleagues have been out over the last few days and nights clearing up the wreckage. we're doing our absolute best to keep the railways open, but my advice before you travel today or tomorrow is to check before you travel with your train operator, to check that your train is running. the 02 arena will remain closed until later this week, after it was damaged in friday's storm. in a statement the venue said it would stay shut until the 25th february to give it time to carry out necessary works on the roof.

shows and events over the next few days are being rescheduled. british airways passengers arriving at heathrow claim they had to wait up to four hours for their luggage, while some had to go home without it. pictures from this weekend appear to show suitcases piled up at the airport. ba has apologised and said it's dealing with "operational issues due to the bad weather". it's now sending the bags to their owners and offering compensation. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. we're starting off the new working week with yet another met office weather warning in place for the strength of the winds — this time from storm franklin. now this is a yellow weather warning — it's the lowest level of alert,

but still to be taken seriously. plenty of structures already weakened by storm eunice, of course, on friday. we could still see gusts today of around 50 to 60 miles an hour — they wentjust over 60 miles an hour yesterday as that squall line came through, you'll have noticed that. the warning is in place until one o'clock this afternoon, but the winds are fairly light at first — 20—30mph gusts — it's also quite a chilly start to the morning. the winds will ramp up as we head through the morning — those gusts of maybe just over 50 to 60 miles an hour. some areas of rain and some cloud just coming down from the northwest on that brisk wind. but there'll be lots of sunshine into the afternoon. the warning expires and the winds will lighten. top temperatures between 11 and 13 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, yes, the winds are lighter. clear skies at first, temperatures dropping to four or five degrees celsius. but then we've got another front coming through into tomorrow morning, so the temperatures will rise and there'll be a lot more in the way of cloud. highs tomorrow of around iii degrees celsius.

on the floor and broke my neck. at the time of her injury, lady—marie was a physical instructor in the army. she'd just won soldier of the year. thank you. is it hot? no, it's ok. the domestic violence attack left lady—marie paralysed from the chest down. she is doubly incontinent, relies heavily on carers. it's a profound injury... thank you. ..that took years to come to terms with. in the beginning stage, you know, denying that this has happened, that i'm going to be able to walk again, there's no way i'm going to accept this. and then getting very angry at the fact that nothing was happening, i'm not... you know, i'm not able to manage my own condition, all my independence had gone, i have to rely on people to do things that were once private. i started to bargain with god. i said, "well, if you heal me, then i will do this and i will do

that," and of course, got to the point where i had to accept, well, this has happened, so what do i do with my life? lady—marie went to college and university — she got a law degree. she then decided to dedicate her life to helping other people with spinal—cord injuries. how are you? nice to see you again. you ok? have you spoken to her spinal nurse? yes, i spoke to... lady—marie works for the charity the spinal injuries association. she guides people to vital support. it's physical, emotional, psychological, financial — the whole gamut. i mean, it's a total toolkit, and i can only say, thank god for lady—marie coming into my life. the light has come in and it was badly needed — badly needed, indeed. take care. i look forward to seeing, catching up very soon. sustaining a spinal—cord injury doesn't mean that your life is over, because you can still be

a contributor to society. all we need isjust a little help. mount kilimanjaro — the highest peak in africa. in the summer, it will be the setting for an extraordinary challenge. martin hibbert will attempt to reach the summit in a modified wheelchair — he's hoping to raise money for the spinal injuries association. martin was left paralysed after the manchester arena terror attack. i think it's a brilliant idea, of what martin is actually trying to achieve, because it's so important for spinal—cord injury to be highlighted because it can happen to anyone at any time. i think there's not that much help out there. occupational therapy, district nursing services — there's a severe shortage, and therefore people struggle. so if we can raise the funds

through what martin is doing to provide this service, it can only go to help people with spinal—cord injury. 20 years after her injury, lady—marie started driving again in a specially modified car. she advises rail companies and airports on accessibility. she's been a consultant on the show eastenders. she is living proof that, with help, a spinal—cord injury can be overcome. i've been skiing again, which was fantastic because itjust showed me the possibilities. i went to sweden, i skied at night, saw the northern lights. i took the challenge of going over the 02 to do some fundraising. i've been rock climbing — indoors and outdoors — i've been abseiling, off—road biking. i've been... done archery. itjust goes to show that, you know, in spite of everything, we can give something back —

we can still live a fulfilling life. what an inspiration. lady—mariejoins us from south london, and martin is here with us on the sofa. thank you very much for being with us. lady—marie, it is wonderful to hear your story and how you positively look at what you can do. i wonder, when you look back now, what was the hardest part for you of overcoming injury? was it physical, mental, ora overcoming injury? was it physical, mental, or a mixture of both? find j mental, or a mixture of both? and i will sa it mental, or a mixture of both? and i will say it was _ mental, or a mixture of both? and i will say it was a _ mental, or a mixture of both? and i will say it was a mixture _ mental, or a mixture of both? and i will say it was a mixture of - mental, or a mixture of both? and i will say it was a mixture of both. . will say it was a mixture of both. looking — will say it was a mixture of both. looking at — will say it was a mixture of both. looking at the time not knowing what was possible, what was difficult to deal with — was possible, what was difficult to deal with and at the time my daughter was six months old when i sustained _ daughter was six months old when i sustained my injury and one of the things— sustained my injury and one of the things i_ sustained my injury and one of the things i always wanted to do was to be able _ things i always wanted to do was to be able to— things i always wanted to do was to be able to comb her hair and i was notable— be able to comb her hair and i was not able to— be able to comb her hair and i was not able to do it because i could not able to do it because i could not move — not able to do it because i could not move my hand any more. that was quite _ not move my hand any more. that was quite difficult _

storm dudley and storm eunice. this is storm franklin pushing on to the near continent, it will remain windy for a time until the afternoon and this ridge of high pressure building and things start to come down. the other thing we have is rain and hills no thinking southward, petering out all the time. still some winteriness, especially over the hills across scotland. the north of scotland will not be as windy as the rest of the country unless you are on the top of ken ground, which i do not recommend. you can see the gusts in northern ireland, —— on the top of the cairngorms. we are looking at 11am, only slowly as we move into the afternoon that the wind starts to ease down. if we pick that up and go through the rest of the day, many of the shallows will fade. still some coming along the north sea coastline and there will be some sunshine. the end of the afternoon will be very different to the start of the morning, with more sunshine and also at lighter winds. already the cloud is gathering out towards the west. this is the

arrival of another weather front which overnight under clear skies we will see some frost, but the cloud coming in with some light rain and drizzle to the west with temperatures going up and then we have a new weather front which will bring in some heavy rain and some squally winds. that is a cold front. here it is. through the course of tomorrow it will be pushing southward and eastward. again you can see from the isobars that it will be another windy day, but not quite as windy as today. in the south we get a brighter interlude but this rain will be chasing that brighter interlude the switch through the day, the rain weakening all the time but it will be windy. gusty winds, a0 to 50 mph, especially so with exposure across the north and west and these are our temperatures, five to maybe 13 degrees. as we continue through the week, and the weather front comes our way. again across the north—west of the country, introducing rain and also, again, strong winds. the wind is picking up as you go through the course of the day, behind this

weather front we see increasingly some snow falling at low levels. ahead of it, remaining largely dry after a cold start, there will be sunshine but all the time the cloud will build. as we head towards the end of the week, thursday looks like the coldest day of the week, we start off with some frost. again it will be windy on thursday, friday sees an area of high pressure across us so it will be much calmer. then down south we have a new area of low pressure coming our way at the weekend. it pressure coming our way at the weekend. . pressure coming our way at the weekend. , , , . ~ pressure coming our way at the weekend. , ,, . ,, a. weekend. it is relentless! thank you ve much weekend. it is relentless! thank you very much indeed. _ weekend. it is relentless! thank you very much indeed. pleasure. - now to the remarkable story of three friends who set off on an epicjourney rowing across the atlantic ocean on christmas day. after 3,000 miles of battling sleep deprivation, salt sores and exhaustion, not only did they reach the finish line, but they knocked seven days off the previous world record attempt. and it was all in aid of charity — after one of the rowers, kat, was diagnosed with incurable cancer. let's look back at their journey. music: great heights.
