6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. an historic breakthrough in the treatment of alzheimer's — a clinical trialfinds a drug can slow down the progression of the early stages of the disease. delight for england, but disappointment for wales as last night's defeat means the end of their world cup dream. yes, a very good morning from doha, where those welsh fans will be feeling that this appointment this morning as they prepare to head home, and england getting the win that sends them through to the last
6:01 am
16 of this world cup. health chiefs urge parents of toddlers to vaccinate their children against the flu, after an increase in hospital admissions. close to collapsing into chaos. that is the warning from business leaders across the north of england, where 80% of rail services have been cancelled this year. they say it could get worse before christmas. then they're is meeting the government later to say enough is enough. another grey, misty and cold day across most of the uk. a few sunny spots. good morning. it's wednesday, the 30th of november. a major trial of an experimental dementia drug has shown, for the first time, that the progression of early stage alzheimer's disease can be slowed down. nearly 2,000 patients took part in the study, including some in the uk.
6:02 am
full results have been published in the new england journal of medicine. the effects of the treatment, called lecanemab, were small, but have prompted huge excitement among researchers. 0ur medical editor, fergus walsh, reports. could you get the broccoli out of the fridge for me, please, love? yeah, 0k. david essam is 78 and has early stage alzheimer's. it's taken away his independence. he's now totally reliant on me or other people around him. he used to be a joiner, but no longer remembers how to use his woodworking tools. i would have liked to have still been making my furniture, which i can't do. so i'm just going to show you the hippocampus. i and that's where all our - short—term memory is stored. alzheimer's gradually destroys key areas of the brain involved
6:03 am
in memory and understanding. david is one of nearly 2,000 patients who took part in a major trial of a new drug — lecanemab. as normal, if you just - lift your arm up there for me. it involved having an infusion every two weeks. lecanemab didn't stop alzheimer's... i'lljust get you started here. ..but over 18 months, it's slowed its progression by about a quarter. this is so exciting because now we're getting results, - the first results that - are indicating that the drug is successfully treating _ the underlying cause and is slowing down the symptoms of cognitive impairment, and also— the behavioural symptoms associated with alzheimer's disease. _ david and his wife cheryl can't be sure if the drug is making a difference, but they're delighted to have taken part in the trial. when we first began this two and a half years ago, we didn't necessarily think it
6:04 am
would help us, but we felt we were doing something and could help future generations. it's just a horrible, nasty thing because if you... if you... if somebody can slow it down, and then eventually get it stopped altogether, you know, it'd be brilliant. at least half a million people across the uk are living with alzheimer's — by far the most common form of dementia. lecanemab is designed to help those in the early stages of the disease, but if it gets approved, that will still mean there'll be a huge demand for the drug. you look good when you laugh. you look happy. the drug has potential side effects, such as brain swelling, but despite all the limitations, this is a significant moment in the fight against alzheimer's. fergus walsh, bbc news. fergusjoins us now.
6:05 am
so fergus, a really interesting developments that you can tell us about this morning. significant results from this trial. what does it mean in practice?— it mean in practice? well, it is ureat to it mean in practice? well, it is great to be — it mean in practice? well, it is great to be reporting - it mean in practice? well, it is great to be reporting on - it mean in practice? well, it is- great to be reporting on something positive _ great to be reporting on something positive at— great to be reporting on something positive at last in the field of alzheimer's, which has been littered with failure — alzheimer's, which has been littered with failure after failure over the decades — with failure after failure over the decades i— with failure after failure over the decades. i remember so many trials where _ decades. i remember so many trials where people were hoping that we would _ where people were hoping that we would see some effect on the underlying disease that causes alzheimer's, only forthis underlying disease that causes alzheimer's, only for this to end in failure _ alzheimer's, only for this to end in failure but— alzheimer's, only for this to end in failure. but here we know that this dru- failure. but here we know that this drug works — failure. but here we know that this drug works by clearing a rogue protein— drug works by clearing a rogue protein called amyloid that builds up protein called amyloid that builds up in _ protein called amyloid that builds up in the — protein called amyloid that builds up in the brain. and now for the first— up in the brain. and now for the first time — up in the brain. and now for the first time we also know that in a very— first time we also know that in a very modest way this is not a perfect — very modest way this is not a

listen earlier to welsh voices and you could still find faith, but they knew even a first win over england since 1984 might not have been enough to keep them at this world cup. face at the break.

6:15 am
correspondent katy austin. delays, crowds and cancellations have become a fact of life for many rail passengers — and not only when there's a strike. commuters in manchester told us they were fed up. well, i had that random cancellation on friday and it absolutely wrecked my day. my train out of euston was just cancelled. that was it. and then all the trains after that were sold out. so i end up getting on a train late, late in the evening. so you'd like to think that that's an irregular occurrence, but it isn't. it's every day i wake up and check the app and it's sort of, you know, hit or miss, whether it's going to run that day, whether it's going to be on time. forjenna, getting to herjob as a vet has become increasingly stressful. when i'm at this branch anyway, it should be chester, manchester, and just change at warrington — so it should be a fairly easy kind
6:16 am
of within an hour — nice, nice and simple. but i would say regularly i'm stuck in warrington for a good hour or so, or i have to get a taxi. a taxi costs her about £40 each time, and delays can mean not getting home until 9pm. so what impact is this all having on you in your life? i mean, everything — it's... emotionally, it's exhausting — it's absolutely exhausting to constantly have to look at the train times every single day and hope beyond hope that it's not... i'm not going to be stranded anywhere. financially — oh! it's a lot because you're coming to work to make money and then you spend literally more than your day's wage on getting home. and it's exhausting. in the year up to the 12th of november, 3.8% of britain's trains have been cancelled — that's the highest since these records began eight years ago. avanti west coast had the highest proportion of cancellations at 8%. govia thameslink — which runs southern, thameslink, great northern, and gatwick express — was second at 6.5%.
6:17 am
next, transpennine at 5.8%. those stats include problems caused by infrastructure or weather, but not strike days, or trains cancelled in advance. train companies have apologised for disruption. avanti and transpennine say they've had lots of staff off sick, and a backlog of drivers training. govia thameslink said the long—term effect of the pandemic and staff sickness had affected its performance, plus other problems like severe weather. it said it had a plan to improve. there's been such concern about the impact on passengers and the economy in the north of england, that a group of mayors wrote to the government last month asking for an urgent meeting. and today the transport secretary, mark harper, is expected to come here to manchester to meet them to discuss the situation, and what can be done about it. avanti is still running a reduced timetable after drivers stopped offering to work overtime in the summer. it's gradually increasing services again, and says its new timetable won't rely on overtime.
6:18 am
transpennine also says not having a rest day working agreement in place with drivers gives it less flexibility with the rota. whatever the problems, passengers just want solutions to come down the track. katy austin, bbc news. in their first international trip since becoming prince and princess of wales, william and catherine will arrive in boston today, for the second annual earthshot prize awards ceremony, which is taking place in the city on friday. the prize was launched by prince william to reward environmental innovation, and is expected to be a star—studded event, with performances from billie eilish and annie lennox. 0ur royal correspondent, daniela relph, reports from boston. it is a first visit to boston for the prince and princess of wales, a three—day trip culminating in the earthshot prize ceremony. william and catherine come here with a sense of history. the royal couple arrived in washington this afternoon, for their first visit together to the united states. diana was the last princess
6:19 am
of wales to visit america. the princess' bright red woollen suit, with its crystal carrington shoulder line, drew the crowd's admiration. her star power made a huge impact, but her son and his wife are said to want to carve out their own way of doing things. it is boston that will also be on show this week, with the city's mayor as host. i remember growing up as a young girl in an immigrant family. my mother barely spoke english, but she followed princess diana every step and just felt so connected. that is the power that i think the royal family has, the legacy, moulding that to this current moment and the actions and the challenge to come together that we really need. boston is, of course, home to american royalty. president kennedy was born here, and his family remain strongly connected to the city. we choose to go to the moon. the work and words
6:20 am
oijk still matter. his moonshot speech in 1962 inspired the whole earthshot vision. we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. he wanted ambition and urgency in space travel. earthshot shares the same values, fighting climate change. this is an important trip for the prince and princess of wales, both professionally and personally, a chance to establish themselves in their new roles on a global stage. but it's also the first time they've been to america since the duke and duchess of sussex moved here. there are currently no plans for william and catherine to meet harry and meghan. now boston and beyond are preparing to welcome the prince and princess of wales. final preparations are under way... for the local media, a royal visit makes headlines. i think people are excited to see them. the places that they've
6:21 am
chosen to go show a desire to really interact with bostonians. boston can be a very tough town. people here don't like a phoney. the prince and princess of wales will get to know this city well over the coming days, as they take their message stateside. daniela relph, bbc news, boston. it is 21 minutes past six. letsjoin the mat with the weather. it was chilly outside this morning will stop it was. it was yesterday as well. good morning. i struggled to warm up yesterday. there is more of that grey, misty, murky weatheraround this morning. a few sunny spells breaking through. staying on the chilly side. fog is not quite as extensive this morning as it was. quite mostly. the foggiest spots
6:22 am
around the borders of north—west wales, south—west england, and towards the moray firth. this is where we have some dense patches of fog that will slow your morning commute. the clearest of these guys overnight in parts of northumberland, the borders, also for aberdeenshire, northumberland, the borders, also foraberdeenshire, parts northumberland, the borders, also for aberdeenshire, parts of the highlands. down to —6 at the moment in aviemore. whilst we have some fog forming in these areas, also the areas most likely to see some sunshine first thing. a little bit of sunshine breaking through wales and the south—west every now and again. a lot of cloud for most today. a few showers around the thames estuary. take a cloud in northern ireland and outbreaks of rain. elsewhere, you'll see some drizzle. this evening and overnight for the rain for a time in northern ireland. and across the north and west of scotland. most will have a
6:23 am
dry night. fog patches possiblejust about anywhere. temperatures could drop low enough for a touch of frost. another chilly day tomorrow. and indeed through tomorrow and into friday, more low cloud. potentially more brightness breaking through in southern areas. more of an easterly breeze. it will start to feel that bit colder still. we have been warned. thank you. china's ambassador to the uk was summoned to the foreign office yesterday, to respond to the arrest and beating of a bbc camera journalist in shanghai. ed lawrence, who was covering the widespread protests against strict covid measures, was held for several hours on sunday. there's growing concern about how authorities have clamped down on the situation. our analysis editor ros atkins has been investigating. there's a crackdown taking place in china. police are being deployed in many
6:24 am
cities because, at the weekend, widespread protests erupted over strict covid rules. translation: | think - we should go back to normal. we should go back to normal lives. that was in beijing. this footage is shanghai. it was filmed by the bbc�*s edward lawrence, who later was beaten by police and held for several hours. call the consulate now! there were also protests in chengdu, xi'an, wuhan and urumqi, where the first protest was seen. and there have been rare calls for the president to stand down. chanting. these protesters are saying, "down with the chinese communist party! down with xijinping!" now, localised protests aren't uncommon in china — widespread ones are. but, as the world has opened up after the pandemic, mass testing, quarantines and lockdowns are all still used in china. and when ten people died in a fire
6:25 am
in urumqi last week, some said lockdown rules had slowed the response. not that the government accepts this. translation: forces with ulterior motives have used social media i to link the fire to the zero—covid policy, but the local government has combated these rumours and smears. the chinese state is certainly seeking to exert control online. the social media platform weibo has removed nearly all footage of the protests. the authorities also want to stop the footage ever getting online. this video — also from the bbc�*s edward lawrence — shows a woman being forced to delete photos. we're getting reports of police using cell—phone data, for example, to track people who are at protests. we're starting to see them use that system to exercise control. the surveillance and censorship doesn't stop there. white pieces of paper have become a symbol of the protests, and online searches for them are being restricted. and while the government restricts
6:26 am
the protesters, its allies are getting their message out. nationalist accounts on weibo are speculating that the discontent is being instigated by foreign forces. there's no publicly available evidence of that. there is, though, evidence that covid is spreading. zero—covid has kept numbers low in china but, as you can see, they're rising now. and on zero—covid, there's no end in sight. this seems to be indefinite, and that sense of no hope and hopelessness is what's driving the current protests. the government censors appear mindful of this. chinese state media's not mentioning the protests, and on coverage of the world cup — as the bbc�*s stephen mcdonell notes — it's being edited, so chinese viewers don't see thousands of fans without masks. zero—covid has meant the chinese state constraining the virus and its own people. and as covid spreads, and protesters call for change, the government continues its efforts to control both.
6:27 am
ros atkins. let's have a look at today's papers. and most of the front pages carry photos of england's victory over wales in the final group game at the world cup last night. the mirror leads with the headline, 'bish rash bosh', next to an image of double goalscorer marcus rashford. 'rash bang wallop' says the sun, as it quotes rashford as saying, "this is what i play football for". he is quite good, isn't he? i like the look of him. he he is quite good, isn't he? i like the look of him.— the south wales evening post leads with the words, 'we wouldn't have missed it for the world', adding that wales can be proud of its growing reputation on and off the field. and the guardian's lead story — as we've also been reporting this morning — focuses on the clinical trial of a drug which has been found to slow decline in patients in the early stages of alzheimer's.
6:28 am
to slow down that decline. a real breakthrough- — to slow down that decline. a real breakthrough. we _ to slow down that decline. a real breakthrough. we will _ to slow down that decline. a real breakthrough. we will be - to slow down that decline. a real breakthrough. we will be talking | breakthrough. we will be talking about is that all morning and speaking to the head of alzheimer's research in the next hour.— research in the next hour. another health story _ research in the next hour. another health story in _ research in the next hour. another health story in the _ research in the next hour. another health story in the uk _ research in the next hour. another health story in the uk here - research in the next hour. another health story in the uk here this . health story in the uk here this morning. lots of parents and grandparents will be interested in this. uk health officials say there's been a 70% increase in the number of under fives being admitted to hospital with flu. cases generally are on the rise, and the uk health security agency says covid restrictions have meant very young children haven't had the chance to build up any natural immunity to the virus. we are going to get a sense this morning of what we are supposed to be doing in terms of vaccines. parents are being urged to get two and three—year—olds vaccinated, as john maguire reports. rafa is a happy, healthy two—and—a—half—year—old who, along with so many children of his age, is obsessed by thomas the tank engine. but this was him just a month ago, critically ill in hospital with flu.
6:29 am
and he had to be intubated, so he was put into a coma and put on a life support machine. and he was on that for a couple of days. his parents are both doctors, but even they were taken aback with how seriously ill rafa became. it's every parent's worst nightmare. he was in a coma with a breathing tube, connected to a life support machine just to give him a chance to recover, have treatment and improve. and unfortunately, rafa, at that time, had not yet had his flu vaccination, so i think that was, yeah, a bit of a shock for us, really. rafa was born at the beginning of the first lockdown, and because of the subsequent covid restrictions, young children haven't been exposed to the normal winter spread of seasonal flu and so their natural immunity hasn't developed. the uk health security agency says cases are increasing rapidly, with more than 200 under—fives
6:30 am
hospitalised. rafa has now been vaccinated and ben and anjali are urging other parents to do the same. a lot of children being admitted with influenza and it's really taken over this winter. i think if there's any message that we send out, it's to parents of toddlers, do go and get your children vaccinated. so, so important. it was a terrifying time and they're extremely grateful for the care rafa received. amazing care, second to none, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. so, they say, make sure your children are protected from flu, a virus many may take for granted but should never be underestimated. john maguire, bbc news, bristol.

bless him. good to see rough at feeling better. a worrying time. we will have some advice just after eight o'clock this morning about what parents need to know. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of two 16—year—old boys in south east london at the weekend have made two more teenage arrests. they're being questioned on suspicion of murdering charlie bartolo and kearne solanke in abbey wood and thamesmead. detectives say they're keeping an open mind about the motive for the stabbings, and are chasing several lines of enquiry. software previously used to track down county lines drug gangs is being used by the met for the first time to bring stalkers to justice. 0nly around 12% of stalking cases reported to the force

result in a charge. data from mobile phones can be used as evidence — but detectives say it can take months to analyse. the new software should allow them to do it in minutes. this is a game—changerfor us in that we can do this on the day — we're not having prolonged periods of time where victims are without digital devices — but mainly we can present this case, you know, literally within the day, even the next day, to the crown prosecution service. as more than 100,000 royal mail workers begin a fresh 48—hour strike, people living in east dulwich have told bbc london their post is often more than six weeks late. 0ne resident ended up in court after a parking fine never arrived. another person's mortgage deal was jeopardised when paperwork failed to arrive. the royal mail says the delays are due to sickness and strike action. tennis star emma raducanu has said she is "extremely grateful" after meeting the king and receiving her mbe. the 20—year—old was awarded the honour for services

6:34 am
so some bright spells coming through, bit of sunshine, maybe, and temperatures in that will rise to around eight to ten degrees celsius. it will stay dry and the winds are light. now, through this evening and overnight, we'll do the whole thing all over again, so more mist and fog forming. it's going to be a chilly start to the day tomorrow — temperatures dipping to low to mid single figures. we draw in more of an easterly wind on thursday. for the rest of the week, it is going to feel a little colder again. that's it — back tojon and sally. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... # cos i. # ijust can't explain. # even in the rain. # you love me with your flame. stormzy�*s taking on taylor swift — and sir cliff richard —

6:36 am
fans. time to get the sport from john in doha now. real mixed emotion for all those fans who made the journey. good morning. hello, everybody. it is the feeling of the morning after the night before after all the excitement and build—up last night is as a case of what might have been for wales as they couldn't get the win they needed against england to keep their world cup dream alive. we are here in the souk this morning, off one of the main streets through the souk, and you get a feel of what doha is really like. so many side and back alleys that lead off that main street and you can see there is so much here that you can buy. bags, scarves, loads of fabrics. good morning. we have fabrics. you name it, it is here, and it is a wonderful place to lose yourself for
6:37 am
a few hours. you can get out of the heat, very cool, and you get that rich smell of some of the spices. so many of these side alleys selling clothes and spices and food and it is where the fans have been coming throughout the tournament and i'm sure many of them will come down here once again this morning. unfortunately for the wales fans they are heading home, packing their bags as they prepare to head home after that result last what after that result last "eight. telhat it after that resett last "eight. tacittat it mean after that resatt last hiaht. what it mean now? rob page was does it mean now? rob page was speaking after the 3—0 defeat. he says there is disappointment but it is all about building for the future now for this wales team who qualified for their first world cup since 1958. the result leaves them bottom of their group, picking up just a point in the first world cup in such a long time. the draw against the usa in their opening game. so what has the welsh manager learnt from this experience? learning from things liked happened this tournament and building on it and understanding what we need to address to make ourselves compete in tournaments like this. we've qualified, we're chipping away at it all the time. and we need to keep improving,
6:38 am
we need to keep developing these younger players through, and that's going to be the plan. cash marcus rashford scored two of england's goals — including this stunning free—kick. it takes him to three goals at the tournament — the joint—highest—scorer. a really special moment for him after he celebrated. as part of his celebration he pointed to the sky and explained why. unfortunately, i lost one of my friends a couple of days ago — he's had quite a long battle with cancer, so it's... you know, i'm pleased that i managed to score for him. he's always been a big supporter of mine. and, yeah, he'sjust a great person that i'm pleased to have come into my life, really. so, yeah, that was it. as the england fans prepare to watch marcus rashford and the england team
6:39 am
continue their world cup journey, marcus rashford and the england team continue their world cupjourney, we know the welsh fans will be preparing to head home this morning, and many will come down here to the souk perhaps to speak to some of the other fans before they prepare to fly back to the uk. after that defeat, i caught up with both sets of fans as they left the stadium. marcus rashford's screamer of a goal. wow! what a goal. yes. i don't think anyone would have kept that out — like a bullet. still good friends. great... well, not as good as before the game! great result for us. a better team, better- performance, more energy. and england won number three! they did win by three! and walesjust had zero! rashford played very good. wish england all the best, but... we're going home but i thinkl they won't be long behind us! yeah, memories made at this world cup for both england and wales fans. for england it means they go on to face senegal in the last 16 on
6:40 am
sunday after senegal beat ecuador at 2-1 sunday after senegal beat ecuador at 2—1 in a straight shoot—out between these two to see who would qualify for the knockout stages. chelsea's kalidou koulibaly with the winner. they finish second in group a to set up that game with england. the united states are into the last 16 after beating iran 1—0 in group b's other game. they finished second behind england. another chelsea player — christian pulisic — scored the only goal of the match. elsewhere the netherlands finished top of group a. jayne mccubbin is back in swansea this morning, at the former school of welsh playerjoe rodon. the welsh defender. jayne, what are the emotions like there this morning? it was chios yesterday, how does everyone feel this morning? well, all quiet here this morning. it was wild yesterday. everybody was
6:41 am
giddy with excitement but i know that even though there were no goals wales 77 77 wales night 77 wales night it 77 wales night it doesn't 77 wales night it doesn't mean for wales last night it doesn't mean there was no pride. i know that because, if you are watching yesterday were you will have seen how it teeny tiny football pundit, preston, who gave a pep talk to the team from this hall yesterday, and he was brilliant. last night i went to his house to watch the game with him and his grandad wayne. grandad wayne said, just like gareth bale said, this tournament was always going to be about so much more than football. it is about pride and culture and identity and... have a look at this. it really was quite moving to be there with the family. these images might have closed wales' world cup tournament... a disappointing end to a disappointing showing in qatar. until the next attempt.
6:42 am
into this tournament. hello, again. hello. last night we arrived in swansea to see the game with preston and grandad wayne. nice to meet you! thanks for letting me come round. we've taken preston to football from baby dribblers when he was three year old. football is at the heart of your relationship. yes, of course it is. i mean, he's football mad. come on, let's see this half out now. cos i did say, didn't i? yeah. foryou, 0—0, half time. oh, what a save! my life flashed before my eyes! 0h! 0h, joe allen! joe allen, that's our first shot. many more to come. yesterday on breakfast, preston had given a pep talk to the team ahead of the match. look, it doesn't matter if we win or lose. we've made history. we've overcome 64 years. so come on!
6:43 am
come on! cheering. it's all right. just before the world cup i said, "come on, boy." i said, "you will see history." keep possession! and he will tell his children — and his grandchildren, hopefully — that he was able to watch it with his grandfather. well done, neco, boy. wales is a small country. right? it's a small country. i mean, two and a half, three million people — we punch way, way above our weight. good defending. we are there. it's history. preston, you need to go in there, then, and give them that speech. by half—time, wales were holding on to a draw against a stronger team. well, it's half—time. and frustration for england, but for wales there still remains hope. -
6:44 am
but right at the start of this tournament, gareth bale had said this. "this isn't just about football. it's about the growth of our country. it's about where we came from and where we're going." 0h! that was amazing! well done. well done, roberts. for wales to have their country in the world cup will be - an incredible thing for notjust the youngsters, but _ for the whole nation. everybody's dreamt of it for such a long time. - to grow football in our country, to inspire another generation, i to get more kids playing football. in, say, 20 years' time, - if they are sat where i am now and say wales qualifying l for the world cup in 2022 i is what inspired us all to playl football and to love it, then... yeah, it's an incredible story to have. -
6:45 am
granddad and grandson were part of that story last night. oh, my god! how?! oh, no! not another one! again?! are you kidding me?! rashford. .. 0hhh! wales lost. but as a nation it has gained. and it is so important and it's so important to the country. it's massive. i went to america and, "where are you from?" and i said, "from wales." "is that england ? " i said, "no, it's not england! it's not england ! " and i said, "you'll see the red wall, you know wales are. the red wall, you know who wales are. we're a tiny little country, but we do exist."
6:46 am
the big thing is we're here. we are here. the better team won and the better team won well. itjust wasn't our year. you're still proud of your team, aren't you? why wouldn't i be? you know, it's so hard to make it to a world cup. hopefully we manage to qualify for the 2026 world cup, and hopefully we can make some improvements right there. aw, never mind, boy. hey, you've seen it anyway. yeah. you witnessed it, haven't you? just go sponsor listening to those thoughts there. good morning from the dream team.— thoughts there. good morning from l the dream team._ bore the dream team. good morning. bore da. how the dream team. good morning. bore da- how are — the dream team. good morning. bore da- how are you _ the dream team. good morning. bore da. how are you feeling, _ the dream team. good morning. bore da. how are you feeling, and - the dream team. good morning. bore da. how are you feeling, and most. da. how are you feeling, and most importantly what will you be saying to the kids when they come in and about one hour?— to the kids when they come in and about one hour? preston hit the nail on the head — about one hour? preston hit the nail on the head yesterday, _ about one hour? preston hit the nail on the head yesterday, and - about one hour? preston hit the nail on the head yesterday, and grandad| on the head yesterday, and grandad wayne. the children are resilient, we teach them resilience and we will say to them, look, the game

6:55 am
operating an emergency timetable and already had that warning from government that things have to improve. meanwhile, trans pennine express, the main line that links northern cities east to west, that has had big problems, as well, and business leaders are saying it has a huge detrimental impact on our growth. interaction between those northern hubs is suffering. leaders from across the north have long said that this would not be tolerated in london and that different rules apply up here. this rail chaos that we've seen across the north for the last few months is having a detrimental impact on our communities and our economy. people unable to get to work, cancellations, missing opportunities and appointments, young people unable to get to college. and if this was happening in london, in the south east, there would be uproar. so the secretary of state is someone that could resolve this problem and find the solution, so that's what we'll be saying to him today.

6:58 am
and kearne solanke in abbey wood and thamesmead. detectives say they're keeping an open mind about the motive for the stabbings, and are chasing several lines of inquiry. software previously used to track down county lines drug gangs, is being used by the met for the first time to bring stalkers to justice. 0nly around 12% of stalking cases reported to the force result in a charge. data from mobile phones can be used as evidence, but detectives say it can take months to analyse. this new software should allow them to do it in minutes. this is a game—changerfor us in that we can do this on the day — we're not having prolonged periods of time where victims are without digital devices — but mainly we can present this case, you know, literally within the day, even the next day, to the crown prosecution service. as more than a hundred thousand royal mail workers begin a fresh 48—hour strike, people living east dulwich, have told us they're post is often
6:59 am
more than six weeks late. 0ne resident ended up in court after a parking fine never arrived. another person's mortgage deal was jeopardised when paperwork didn't arrive. the royal mail says the delays are due to sickness and strike action. tennis star emma raducanu says she's "extremely grateful" after meeting the king and receiving her mbe. the 20—year—old was awarded the honour for services to tennis, at a ceremony at windsor castle yesterday. raducanu, from bromley, won the us open in september last year, when she was just 18 years old. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's minor delays on thejubilee line this morning. other than that, all looking good. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. the cold and dry theme is just set to continue across the capital as we head through the rest of this week with high pressure dominating. there'll also be some rather
7:00 am
misty mornings still in the forecast, including today. so mist and fog formed last night — it's quite dense in places and it will be slow to lift and clear. reduced visibility, of course, for many on our roads for a good while this morning. it's lifting into low cloud, but for many we will keep that low cloud for much of the rest of the day. it will affect the temperatures — it will feel chilly and damp again — but it should brighten up for many spots a bit more readily than it did yesterday. so some bright spells coming through, bit of sunshine, maybe, and temperatures in that will rise to around eight to ten degrees celsius. it will stay dry and the winds are light. now, through this evening and overnight, we'll do the whole thing all over again, so more mist and fog forming. it's going to be a chilly start to the day tomorrow — temperatures dipping to low to mid single figures. we draw in more of an easterly wind on thursday. for the rest of the week, it is going to feel a little colder again. i'm back in half an hour. now back tojon and sally. bye—bye.
7:01 am
good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. an historic breakthrough in the treatment of alzheimer's — a clinical trialfinds a drug can slow down the progression of the early stages of the disease. heartbreak for wales as last night's defeat to england ends their world cup dream.
7:02 am
a very good morning from doha. disappointment for wales this morning. they brought the colour to this world cup but if they are preparing to head home as england win a 3—0. next for england it is senegal on sunday. close to collapsing into chaos. that is the warning from business leaders across the north of england, where 80% of some services have been cancelled so far this year. things are set to get worse as we head into christmas. mayors will tell the government this can't go on. the weather is rather grey and damp today. there will be sunny moments. i will find them for you. good morning. it's wednesday, the 30th of november. our main story. a major trial of an experimental dementia drug has shown — for the first time —
7:03 am
that the progression of early stage alzheimer's disease can be slowed down. nearly 2000 patients took part in the study, including some in the uk. full results have been published in the new england journal of medicine. the treatment is called lecanemab. its effects were small, but have still prompted huge excitement among researchers. 0ur medical editor, fergus walsh, reports. could you get the broccoli out of the fridge for me, please, love? yeah. ok. david essam is 78 and has early stage alzheimer's. it's taken away his independence. he's now totally reliant on me or other people around him. he used to be a joiner, but no longer remembers how to use his woodworking tools. i would have liked to have still been making my furniture, which i can't do. so i'm just going to show- you the hippocampus, and that's
7:04 am
where all our short—term memory is stored. - alzheimer's gradually destroys key areas of the brain involved in memory and understanding. david is one of nearly 2,000 patients who took part in a major trial of a new drug — lecanemab. as normal, if you just - lift your arm up there for me. it involved having an infusion every two weeks. lecanemab didn't stop alzheimer's... i'lljust get you started here. ..but over 18 months, it's slowed its progression by about a quarter. this is so exciting because now we're getting results, - the first results that - are indicating that the drug is successfully treating the underlying cause i and is slowing down - the symptoms of cognitive impairment and also the behavioural- symptoms associated - with alzheimer's disease. david and his wife cheryl can't be sure if the drug is making a difference, but they're delighted to have taken part in the trial.
7:05 am
when we first began this two and a half years ago, we didn't necessarily think it would help us, but we felt we were doing something and could help future generations. it's just a horrible, nasty thing because if you... if you... if somebody can slow it down, and then eventually get it stopped altogether, you know, it'd be brilliant. at least half a million people across the uk are living with alzheimer's — by far the most common form of dementia. lecanemab is designed to help those in the early stages of the disease, but if it gets approved, that will still mean there'll be a huge demand for the drug. you look good when you laugh. you look happy. the drug has potential side effects, such as brain swelling, but despite all the limitations, this
7:06 am
is a significant moment in the fight against alzheimer's. fergus walsh, bbc news. we're joined now by susan kohlhaas, director of research at alzheimer's research uk. morning to you. lots of people watching this morning will see this story, see the headline and then, at last, something. haifa story, see the headline and then, at last, something.— last, something. how positive is this? this _ last, something. how positive is this? this is _ last, something. how positive is this? this is an _ last, something. how positive is this? this is an historic - last, something. how positive is this? this is an historic moment| last, something. how positive is i this? this is an historic moment for alzheimer's— this? this is an historic moment for alzheimer's research because it is the first— alzheimer's research because it is the first time we have shown we could _ the first time we have shown we could slow — the first time we have shown we could slow cognitive decline in people — could slow cognitive decline in people with early—stage alzheimer's. we have _ people with early—stage alzheimer's. we have had many failures in drug trials _ we have had many failures in drug trials in _ we have had many failures in drug trials in recent years. this is the first— trials in recent years. this is the first time — trials in recent years. this is the first time we have shown that a drug does what _ first time we have shown that a drug does what it— first time we have shown that a drug does what it is meant to do, which is fantastic — does what it is meant to do, which is fantastic news for people. so for eo - le is fantastic news for people. so for people like — is fantastic news for people. so for people like david _ is fantastic news for people. so for people like david we _ is fantastic news for people. so for people like david we just _ is fantastic news for people. so for people like david we just saw - is fantastic news for people. so for people like david we just saw in i is fantastic news for people. so for| people like david we just saw in the report, he has been involved in the trial and is seeing benefits. but for people watching this morning thinking, when can i get my hands on this? what do the next few months

my mother barely spoke english, but she followed princess diana every step and just felt so connected. that is the power that i think the royal family has, the legacy, moulding that to this current moment and the actions and the challenge to come together that we really need. boston is, of course, home to american royalty. president kennedy was born here, and his family remain strongly connected to the city. we choose to go to the moon. the work and words oijk still matter. his moonshot speech in 1962 inspired the whole earthshot vision. we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. he wanted ambition and urgency in space travel. earthshot shares the same values, fighting climate change. this is an important trip for the prince and princess of wales, both professionally and personally, a chance to establish themselves in their new roles on a global stage.
7:19 am
but it's also the first time they've been to america since the duke and duchess of sussex moved here. there are currently no plans for william and catherine to meet harry and meghan. now boston and beyond are preparing to welcome the prince and princess of wales. final preparations are under way... for the local media, a royal visit makes headlines. i think people are excited to see them. the places that they've chosen to go show a desire to really interact with bostonians. boston can be a very tough town. people here don't like a phoney. the prince and princess of wales will get to know this city well over the coming days, as they take their message stateside. daniela relph, bbc news, boston. boston looking beautiful. not sure
7:20 am
it is quite so beautiful here. matt can tell us more. good morning. a bit misty and murky out there this morning. this is the view a short while ago in edinburgh. pretty chilly in the south of scotland. not as foggy as it has beenin scotland. not as foggy as it has been in recent days. the main fog areas towards the south—west. also around the borders of south—east scotland and north—east england, and a few other spots on the hills. parts of scotland and north—east england is where we have the coldest conditions. the last day of meteorological autumn today and the coldest one of the season. temperatures in aviemore drop to —6. a struggle to lift those today. a little bit of sunshine here and there across this part of scotland and north—east england. brighter spells in west wales and south—west england. not as much sunshine as yesterday. the small chance of a shower in the thames estuary. damper later in the western isles and

7:41 am
absolutely. so far so good, this morning at manchester piccadilly. a decent flow of passengers coming and going. a couple of cancellations but not many but that isn't always the case. the opposite of levelling up is what one big business leader has told the bbc this morning about the chaos we have seen on the railways this year. it is an accepted economic truth that if the economy in the north of england is to grow it is heavily dependent on connectivity between the big cities. now, if you don't know that your trains are going to turn up on time, if you don't know that your trains are going to turn up at all, well, that simply cannot happen. today the transport secretary will talk to mayers in the north of england who are frankly furious that we are still having this conversation —— talk to mayors. this is a call to action we have heard so many times before, and in the meantime it is thousands of passengers and businesses who are suffering. as
7:42 am
katy austin reports. delays, crowds and cancellations have become a fact of life for many rail passengers — and not only when there's a strike. commuters in manchester told us they were fed up. well, i had that random cancellation on friday and it absolutely wrecked my day. my train out of euston was just cancelled. that was it. and then all the trains after that were sold out. so i end up getting on a train late, late in the evening. so you'd like to think that that's an irregular occurrence, but it isn't. it's every day i wake up and check the app and it's sort of, you know, hit or miss, whether it's going to run that day, whether it's going to be on time. forjenna, getting to herjob as a vet has become increasingly stressful. when i'm at this branch anyway, it should be chester, manchester, and just change at warrington — so it should be a fairly easy kind of within an hour — nice, nice and simple. but i would say regularly i'm stuck in warrington for a good hour or so, or i have to get a taxi.
7:43 am
a taxi costs her about £40 each time, and delays can mean not getting home until 9pm. so what impact is this all having on you in your life? i mean, everything — it's... emotionally, it's exhausting — it's absolutely exhausting to constantly have to look at the train times every single day and hope beyond hope that it's not... i'm not going to be stranded anywhere. financially — oh! it's a lot because you're coming to work to make money and then you spend literally more than your day's wage on getting home. and it's exhausting. in the year up to the 12th of november, 18% of britain's trains have been cancelled — that's the highest since these records began eight years ago. avanti west coast had the highest proportion of cancellations at 8%. govia thameslink — which runs southern, thameslink, great northern, and gatwick express — was second at 6.5%. next, transpennine at 5.8%. those stats include problems caused by infrastructure or weather, but not strike days,
7:44 am
or trains cancelled in advance. train companies have apologised for disruption. avanti and transpennine say they've had lots of staff off sick, and a backlog of drivers training. govia thameslink said the long—term effect of the pandemic and staff sickness had affected its performance, plus other problems like severe weather. it said it had a plan to improve. there's been such concern about the impact on passengers and the economy in the north of england, that a group of mayors wrote to the government last month asking for an urgent meeting. and today the transport secretary, mark harper, is expected to come here to manchester to meet them to discuss the situation, and what can be done about it. avanti is still running a reduced timetable after drivers stopped offering to work overtime in the summer. it's gradually increasing services again, and says its new timetable won't rely on overtime. transpennine also says not having a rest day working agreement in place with drivers gives it less flexibility with the rota. whatever the problems,
7:45 am
passengers just want solutions to come down the track. katy austin, bbc news. when we arrived at 5am this morning we thought the first thing we will do is talk to passengers, try to find out whether things are improving. have they? have a listen. the delicate they are inconsistent so lots of services are cancelled. i travelled to leeds every day and every day there is a cancellation that affects me, and then often the carriages are insufficient, so three carriages are insufficient, so three carriages instead of six. i have to stand for part of the way, so, yeah, not really good enough.— stand for part of the way, so, yeah, not really good enough. yesterday at m train not really good enough. yesterday at my train was — not really good enough. yesterday at my train was cancelled, _ not really good enough. yesterday at my train was cancelled, i _ not really good enough. yesterday at my train was cancelled, i commute i my train was cancelled, i commute every— my train was cancelled, i commute every day— my train was cancelled, i commute every day from here to kendal and they are _ every day from here to kendal and they are either late or cancelled pretty— they are either late or cancelled pretty much every day. the recent announcement of strikes, as well... it is what _ announcement of strikes, as well... it is what it— announcement of strikes, as well... it is what it is, — announcement of strikes, as well... it is what it is, what can i say? i know_ it is what it is, what can i say? i know people are being underpaid and i feel know people are being underpaid and ifeei sorry— know people are being underpaid and

7:48 am
many, rather grey and in some spots temperatures barely above freezing. it was chilly. more of those contrasts come today. the vast majority of us sticking with the rather grey and cool conditions. a few spots of light rain and drizzle around. not quite as foggy as it has been the past few moments for some of you. watch out on the move in south—west england lafargue, dense patches in these parts. some fog in a few other spots, as well and towards parts of north—east england, south—east scotland and northern scotland, cold conditions. temperatures down to —5 or —64,102 but some sunshine for a few. few bright breaks appearing. most staying cloudy, cloud thickening in northern ireland, western scotland ate it with outbreaks of rain, it may be an odd spot to the thames estuary and where the cloud is thick enough it will be drizzly. a cool day again, temperatures a bit optimistic for the most part.
7:49 am
through this evening and overnight, drizzle for parts of northern ireland, extending into northern parts of western scotland, but nothing too heavy. away from that, most places dry, if you mist and fog patches in due tomorrow and where you have any clear skies there will be frost around. the big picture at the moment for the foreseeable, high pressure across scandinavia and into parts of western pressure which is giving these weather fronts largely at bay. not because of them reaching across the north and west of scotland, southerly breeze in these areas will bring something milder. away from that, another misty, grey, cool day for many, temperatures percent lower than it suggests here but notice the yellow on the chart, western scotland, northern ireland, around 12 or 13. similar conditions in the north and west on friday but may be my sunshine as the breeze picks up. a bit drizzly to the north—east of scotland and a greater chance, east anglia, south—east, have a few showers. as the breeze picks up we could see a few more
7:50 am
sunny outbreaks but still a lot of cloud to come through friday and indeed into the weekend and beyond. high pressure still there across scandinavia and northern pressure. it may edge further northwards and, in doing so, low pressure developing through the mediterranean means we will see more of a breeze. this weekend and into next week it will still bring large areas of cloud in and drop the temperature even further. as we go through the end of the week into next week, it will feel even colder, temperatures next week, most around 6 or 7 degrees for most. back to you both. thank you! sorry, we were chatting. we were talking about footwear and we will explain why. he's one of the biggest names in the uk music scene — and after two years out of the spotlight, stormzy is back. last time he was here he was wearing slippers so we are keen to find out what he is wearing this time. he's taking on taylor swift — and sir cliff richard — in the race for this year's christmas number one. and he's hoping his new album

and it is grey, misty and cool out there for many. a few sunny spots. full forecast coming up. good morning. it's wednesday, the 30th of november. we start this morning with some really encouraging health news. a major trial of an experimental dementia drug has shown, for the first time, that the progression of early stage alzheimer's disease can be slowed down. nearly 2,000 patients took part in the study, including some in the uk. full results have been published in the new england journal of medicine. the treatment is called lecanemab. its effects were small, but have still prompted huge excitement among researchers. our medical editor, fergus walsh, reports. could you get the broccoli out of the fridge for me, please, love? yeah. 0k. david essam is 78 and has early stage alzheimer's. it's taken away his
8:04 am
independence. he's now totally reliant on me or other people around him. he used to be a joiner, but no longer remembers how to use his woodworking tools. i would have liked to have still been making my furniture, which i can't do. so i'm just going to show- you the hippocampus, and that's where all our short—term memory is stored. - alzheimer's gradually destroys key areas of the brain involved in memory and understanding. david is one of nearly 2,000 patients who took part in a major trial of a new drug — lecanemab. as normal, if you just - lift your arm up there for me. it involved having an infusion every two weeks. lecanemab didn't stop alzheimer's... i'lljust get you started here. ..but over 18 months, it's slowed its progression by about a quarter. this is so exciting because now
8:05 am
we're getting results, - the first results that - are indicating that the drug is successfully treating the underlying cause i and is slowing down - the symptoms of cognitive impairment and also the behavioural- symptoms associated - with alzheimer's disease. david and his wife cheryl can't be sure if the drug is making a difference, but they're delighted to have taken part in the trial. when we first began this two and a half years ago, we didn't necessarily think it would help us, but we felt we were doing something and could help future generations. it's just a horrible, nasty thing because if you... if you... if somebody can slow it down, and then eventually get it stopped altogether, you know, it'd be brilliant. at least half a million people across the uk are living with alzheimer's — by far the most common
8:06 am
form of dementia. lecanemab is designed to help those in the early stages of the disease, but if it gets approved, that will still mean there'll be a huge demand for the drug. you look good when you laugh. you look happy. the drug has potential side effects, such as brain swelling, but despite all the limitations, this is a significant moment in the fight against alzheimer's. fergus walsh, bbc news. fergusjoins us now. morning. for people who have just watched that report, this is incredibly positive news. but who will it benefit _ incredibly positive news. but who will it benefit the _ incredibly positive news. but who will it benefit the most? - incredibly positive news. but who will it benefit the most? people | incredibly positive news. but who i will it benefit the most? people who already have a diagnosis, or people who may be diagnosed in the next decade? it’ll]! who may be diagnosed in the next decade? �* , ., ,, who may be diagnosed in the next decade? �* ,., _, who may be diagnosed in the next decade? �* ,.,,.,_, who may be diagnosed in the next decade? �* , ., decade? it'll probably be those who are diagnosed _ decade? it'll probably be those who are diagnosed in _ decade? it'll probably be those who are diagnosed in the _ decade? it'll probably be those who are diagnosed in the next _ decade? it'll probably be those who are diagnosed in the next decade i are diagnosed in the next decade because — are diagnosed in the next decade because first of all, this drug

8:16 am
william and catherine come here with a sense of history. the royal couple arrived in washington this afternoon, for their first visit together to the united states. diana was the last princess of wales to visit america. the princess' bright red woollen suit, with its crystal carrington shoulder line, drew the crowd's admiration. her star power made a huge impact, but her son and his wife are said to want to carve out their own way of doing things. it is boston that will also be on show this week, with the city's mayor as host. i remember growing up as a young girl in an immigrant family. my mother barely spoke english, but she followed princess diana every step and just felt so connected. that is the power that i think the royal family has, the legacy, moulding that to this current moment and the actions and the the challenge to come together that we really need. boston is, of course,
8:17 am
home to american royalty. president kennedy was born here, and his family remain strongly connected to the city. we choose to go to the moon. the work and words ofjfk still matter. his moonshot speech in 1962 inspired the whole earthshot vision. we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. he wanted ambition and urgency in space travel. earthshot shares the same values, fighting climate change. this is an important trip for the prince and princess of wales, both professionally and personally, a chance to establish themselves in their new roles on a global stage. but it's also the first time they've been to america since the duke and duchess of sussex moved here. there are currently no plans for william and catherine to meet harry and meghan. now boston and beyond are preparing
8:18 am
to welcome the prince and princess of wales. final preparations are under way... for the local media, a royal visit makes headlines. i think people are excited to see them. the places that they've chosen to go show a desire to really interact with bostonians. boston can be a very tough town. people here don't like a phoney. the prince and princess of wales will get to know this city well over the coming days, as they take their message stateside. daniela relph, bbc news, boston. boston looking lovely. not quite so lovely here. a bit of fog around. here is mad. lovely here. a bit of fog around. here is mad-— lovely here. a bit of fog around. here is mad. ,., ., ., ~ ., , here is mad. good morning. a double whammy for— here is mad. good morning. a double whammy for some. _ here is mad. good morning. a double whammy for some. take _ here is mad. good morning. a double whammy for some. take a _ here is mad. good morning. a double whammy for some. take a look i here is mad. good morning. a double whammy for some. take a look at i here is mad. good morning. a double| whammy for some. take a look at this in berwick—upon—tweed in the last half an hour. not only is there fog but we have frost on the rooftops and on the ground. a particularly chilly start. another cool day. most
8:19 am
and fog. the fog may not be as extensive as yesterday morning but around the south—east scotland and north—east england, one of the areas where it is pretty dense, parts of south—west england, there is fog on the hills if you are about to set out on the roads. that might slow your morning commute. and it is pretty cold as well. northumberland, the borders and parts of the islands. the coldest morning of autumn, the last morning of autumn mature unted cazoo speaking. —— meteor logically speaking. extensive low cloud could produce the odd spot of drizzle. many people will be dry. the greater chance of showers close to the thames estuary. later, some outbreaks of rain in the western isles and northern ireland. temperatures probably four to 5 degrees for many. double figures
8:20 am
again in the brighter areas in the southend west. this evening and overnight rain and drizzle in northern ireland and north and west scotland. extensive low cloud. where you get any breaks there will be patches of frost and fog forming tomorrow morning. we do it all again into the start of the weekend. the main message is expect lots of cloud. in developing easterly breeze. it will stay on the chilly side. if not side. if not getting side. if not getting a side. if not getting a bit side. if not getting a bit chillier. side. if not getting a bit chillier. thank you. if not getting a bit chillier. thank ou. , . ., some important health news. uk health officials say there's been a 70% increase in the number of under fives being admitted to hospital with flu. cases generally are on the rise, and the uk health security agency says covid restrictions have meant very young children haven't had the chance to build up any natural immunity to the virus. we are going to get some medical
8:21 am
advice any moment. parents are being urged to get two and three—year—olds vaccinated, as john maguire reports. rafa is a happy, healthy two—and—a—half—year—old who, along with so many children of his age, is obsessed by thomas the tank engine. but this was him just a month ago, critically ill in hospital with flu. and he had to be intubated, so he was put into a coma and put on a life support machine. and he was on that for a couple of days. his parents are both doctors, but even they were taken aback with how seriously ill rafa became. it's every parent's worst nightmare. he was in a coma with a breathing tube, connected to a life support machine just to give him a chance to recover, have treatment and improve. and unfortunately, rafa, at that time, had not yet
8:22 am
had his flu vaccination, so i think that was, yeah, a bit of a shock for us, really. rafa was born at the beginning of the first lockdown, and because of the subsequent covid restrictions, young children haven't been exposed to the normal winter spread of seasonal flu and so their natural immunity hasn't developed. the uk health security agency says cases are increasing rapidly, with more than 200 under—fives hospitalised. rafa has now been vaccinated and ben and anjali are urging other parents to do the same. a lot of children being admitted with influenza and it's really taken over this winter. i think if there's any message that we send out, it's to parents of toddlers, do go and get your children vaccinated. so, so important. it was a terrifying time and they're extremely grateful
8:23 am
for the care rafa received. amazing care, second to none, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. so, they say, make sure your children are protected from flu, a virus many may take for granted but should never be underestimated. john maguire, bbc news, bristol. joining us now to discuss these latest figures is the gp, dr helen wall. these figures are going to be worrying for a lot of families. you have seen this in your practice. young children getting pally with flu? iterate young children getting pally with flu? ~ . , , ., young children getting pally with flu? . ., , , ., . flu? we are seeing young children caettin flu? we are seeing young children getting pally _ flu? we are seeing young children getting pally with _ flu? we are seeing young children getting pally with all _ flu? we are seeing young children getting pally with all sorts - flu? we are seeing young children getting pally with all sorts of- getting pally with all sorts of viruses. _ getting pally with all sorts of viruses, much more than during covid _ viruses, much more than during covid we — viruses, much more than during covid. we had lots of restrictions in place — covid. we had lots of restrictions in place during covid. the majority of these _ in place during covid. the majority of these children have spent most of their young — of these children have spent most of their young life in lockdown. so they— their young life in lockdown. so they haven't built that immunity. fvery— they haven't built that immunity. every time — they haven't built that immunity. every time we come into contact with any virus. _ every time we come into contact with anyvirus, our— every time we come into contact with

8:31 am
were killed a mile apart in abbey wood and thamesmead at the weekend. a 15— and 16—year—old are being questioned on suspicion of murder. detectives say they're keeping an open mind about the motive and are chasing several lines of inquiry. software previously used to track down county lines drug gangs, is being used by the met for the first time to bring stalkers to justice. only around 12% of stalking cases reported to the force result in a charge. data from mobile phones can be used as evidence, but detectives say it can take months to analyse. this new software should allow them to do it in minutes. this is a game—changerfor us in that we can do this on the day — we're not having prolonged periods of time where victims are without digital devices — but mainly we can present this case, you know, literally within the day, even the next day, to the crown prosecution service. the london ambulance service could be hit

8:33 am
the cold and dry theme is just set to continue across the capital as we head through the rest of this week with high pressure dominating. there'll also be some rather misty mornings still in the forecast, including today. so mist and fog formed last night — it's quite dense in places and it will be slow to lift and clear. reduced visibility, of course, for many on our roads for a good while this morning. it's lifting into low cloud, but for many we will keep that low cloud for much of the rest of the day. it will affect the temperatures — it will feel chilly and damp again — but it should brighten up for many spots a bit more readily than it did yesterday. so some bright spells coming through, bit of sunshine, maybe, and temperatures in that will rise to around eight to ten degrees celsius. it will stay dry and the winds are light. now, through this evening and overnight, we'll do the whole thing all over again, so more mist and fog forming. it's going to be a chilly start to the day tomorrow — temperatures dipping to low to mid single figures. we draw in more of an easterly wind on thursday. for the rest of the week, it is going to feel a little colder again.
