6:02 am
a suspended sentence for causing the death of the teenage motorcyclist in northamptonshire in 2019. harry's mother charlotte welcomed the verdict, but has criticised the actions of the us government in not handing mrs sacoolas over to uk authorities. tim muffett reports. a three year quest forjustice, finally delivered at the old bailey. harry dunn's parents had fought long and hard to ensure anne sacoolas was held accountable for her actions — actions which led to the death of their 19—year—old son in 2019. having pleaded guilty in october to causing death by careless driving, anne sacoolas, appearing in court yesterday via video link from america, was told of her sentence. you are disqualified from driving for 12 months for the offence of causing the death of harry dunn by your careless driving. the sentence is eight months�* imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. job done.
6:03 am
promise complete. properly — properly complete now. you know, anne sacoolas has a criminal record for the rest of her life. that was something that, you know, she never thought she'd see, the us government never thought that they'd see. and we've worked tirelessly and relentlessly to make sure that she, in the end, still had to do what you and i would have had to have done. so, yeah, harry, we've done it! harry dunn was killed when his motorcycle was hit by a car being driven by anne sacoolas on the wrong side of the road. it happened less than a mile from a secret american air force base, raf croughton in northamptonshire. she had previously worked for the cia, and claimed diplomatic immunity because her husband also worked for us intelligence. a few weeks after the crash, anne sacoolas left the country. harry's family campaigned hard on their late son's behalf. they met president trump, who refused to send sacoolas back to the uk.
6:04 am
but following discussions between the then prime minister borisjohnson, and a new president, joe biden, she was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. in october, anne sacoolas pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of causing death by careless driving. the judge urged her to attend yesterday's sentencing at the old bailey in person. harry dunn's family were horrified when she refused to do so, following advice from the us government. after yesterday's sentencing, others condemned her absence. the outcome is not particularly satisfactory in terms of punishing the person who committed the crime, but it at least attributes the blame properly, attributes the sentence, even though that sentence will never be served. but what it does leave us with is a feeling that this treaty that it's happened under, is not right and has to be put right. in a statement, anne sacoolas extended her sincerest condolences to harry dunn's family and friends. she said she lived with the regrets
6:05 am
of her tragic mistake every single day, and offered to meet and apologise to them in person. harry's family said they were no longer interested in doing so. the offer, they said, was too little, too late. tim muffett, bbc news. harry dunn's mother spoke to reporters after the sentencing yesterday. she willjoin us just after eight o'clock this morning. postal workers at royal mail have begun a wave of strikes in the run—up to christmas, in a row over pay and conditions. 15,000 members of staff will attend a rally outside parliament today, in what's being described as the biggest postal worker's demonstration in living memory. 0ur reporter zoe conway is at one of royal mail's sorting depots for us this morning. i know you are going to be talking to both sides. i have seen some

6:08 am
to retrace her course. and by now, an urgent call to the coastguard has brought lifeboats racing to the scene, followed by a small fleet of fishing boats anxious to join the search, fearful that one of their own may have been involved. a large number of local fishing vessels have also been helping with the search. i like to express my thanks to them. we also have deployed drones, beach lifeguards on jet skis and honorary police officers on the beach. the vessel is believed to have sunk in approximately a0 metres of water, which will require specialist diving resources to examine. as the tide fell, the worst news was confirmed. one of the fishing vessels had spotted the lost trawler using its underwater radar. among the missing was experienced and respected local skipper michael michieli. jersey's fishing family, and those of their french neighbours, shared shock and disbelief. fishermen will rally together, and they do rally together, regardless of nationality.
6:09 am
we see this in previous incidents. it's good to see the boys all out on the scene. it was one of our fishing vessels that located the wreckage on the sea bed around 9am this morning. they had been there since before daylight. the underwater survey, and the search for the missing, were due to continue into the evening. meanwhile, the marine accident investigation is gathering pace, and the question it has to answer is how tragedy overtook two vessels and two crews so familiar with these waters. robert hall, bbc news, channel islands. a major overhaul of the uk's financial sector will be announced by the chancellor today, in a bid to boost growth. at a speech in edinburgh, jeremy hunt will introduce more than 30 regulatory reforms, including a loosening of rules on banks and their staff introduced after the financial crisis in 2008. but critics say it could be dangerous to forget the lessons of the past.

"stop this royal circus", declares the daily mirror, as it reports prince william was said to be "utterly furious" at claims in the series about poor treatment. the paper says as the brothers continue their squabble, ordinary people are worrying about paying their bills. the guardian's front page covers the reaction from harry dunn's family over the suspended sentencing of anne sacoolas for causing the 19—year—old's death.

the times report that parents could be benefiting their heart without realising it, by running around after their child forjust 60 seconds. researchers looked at whether gains to people's could be made from brief spells of vigorous activity embedded in everyday life, such as climbing stairs. i'm always a sucker for anything about william shatner, former captain kirk. about william shatner, former captain kirk-— about william shatner, former captain kirk. about william shatner, former catain kirk. �* ., , ., captain kirk. and who has been into sace in captain kirk. and who has been into space in real— captain kirk. and who has been into space in real life. _ captain kirk. and who has been into space in real life. has— captain kirk. and who has been into space in real life. has been - captain kirk. and who has been into space in real life. has been into - space in real life. has been into sace, space in real life. has been into space, extraordinarily. - space in real life. has been into space, extraordinarily. a - space in real life. has been into space, extraordinarily. a little l space, extraordinarily. a little peace in the diary. ian hislop, captain of height —— have i got news for you, was asked who is his favourite of the 123 guest hosts on the programme. 123. who is ian hirst —— ian hislop is my favourite? william shatner, without a doubt, he says. the star trek actor didn't

6:18 am
insulation in their homes. that money won't be available until the spring for many households. and without proper insulation one charity says some homes could be losing up to 45% of their heat. it is not the uk has some of the worst insulated properties in europe. the energy savings trust says a typical three bedroom semi with proper draught proofing and loft insulation could save £555 a year on their energy bill. the government grants that have been made available, because they are not available until the spring, there are many businesses and charities who feel they should go further, as i've been finding out. 78—year—old audrey is living injust one room of her home. she has several health issues, including arthritis and poor circulation, but says this is the only way she can manage to keep warm. i can't really afford to keep warm, only this way. so i'm going to have tojust lie in bed. audrey lives in what's been identified by friends of the earth as one of the country's coldest
6:19 am
neighbourhoods, where low energy efficiency and low incomes combine to put health and well—being at risk. the charity wants to see more government intervention to help people insulate their homes. i can't afford to get the jobs done anyway. it makes you fed up being really isolated and cold, especially the cold. i've never known cold like it. and i have been doing this for a few years, because i know i can't afford the prices before. so now they've gone up more, it's terrible, really. so it's going to help you identify the cold spots in your house. in london, waltham forest council started loaning out thermal imaging cameras, so residents can see where they're losing heat. blue and purple means it's cold. those most in need will get money to better insulate their homes. shall we have a little look inside? and as gary faces his first winter in his new property,
6:20 am
it's helping him to see what improvements he could make. it's really noticeable, i think. when i look at the door, i the contrast in the colours, like, most of it's orange, but down the bottom - and in the corners of the door it's quite dark blue. so there must be quite a lot of cold air seeping through. - i think there's a bit of a gap - between the frame and the door. seeing all the images now, i'm like, oh, actually there's _ all these little bits. and bobs potentially. i can look at ways to try and, you know, either block somej of the cold air coming in, - orjust look at different options. so yeah, i think it's really good. the government's recently expanded a scheme that works with energy suppliers to install insulation, but for many households it won't be available until next spring. and the boss of one of the country's biggest diy stores is calling for a rethink. do you think that scheme as it stands is fit for purpose? not really. it's not simplified enough and it's just putting another person in, a bit of bureaucracy, and i don't think it's really solving the grassroots problem that we've got.
6:21 am
this is a big issue that's going to be with us for a long time. we need to get to the root causes here, and i think we need to create a fundamental step change in the uk that it's cool, chic — i don't know what the up to date word is — to make your house energy efficient. and as people brace for icy temperatures this weekend, many may wish they'd taken action like that much sooner. i want one of those cameras. can you imagine how fascinating it would be to see all the bits, all the drafts, in your home? what support is available at the moment? first, let's talk about the support available last week. households will be able to access grants of up to £1500 for insulation — it's for homes that haven't had other cost of living support. the vast majority of properties are eligible. it's linked to your council tax band and the energy performance
6:22 am
rating of your home. there isn't much detail yet on how to apply. you get the sense it is being worked out. there are a number of schemes already running. councils and social housing providers can help people on the lowest incomes. and energy suppliers are actually required to support some of the lowest income households, to make improvements to their homes under the energy company obligation scheme. contact your energy supplier if you think you may be eligible. as we have seen from talking to charities and businesses, there is a sense that something more fundamental needs to change and our attitudes towards this, to try to put heating, insulation, the front and centre of people's decisions when they are thinking about where they want to live and how they are going to help themselves. it is clearly not the answer to the bigger question about insulation and cost, because there is a definite cost, because there is a definite cost, but i am sure a lot of people are doing little things around their
6:23 am
own homes. you are saying about it front doors, just blocking it with something. really basic stuff. it can make a difference. and something. really basic stuff. it can make a difference.— something. really basic stuff. it can make a difference. and you can aet a can make a difference. and you can get a draught _ can make a difference. and you can get a draught proof _ can make a difference. and you can get a draught proof is _ they are not hugely expensive. they can make a massive difference to those particularly draughty areas. thank you. remember there's more information, support and advice online at the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for bbc cost of living in your browser. it's one of the biggest challenges facing the healthcare system — how to improve home care support so that hospital beds are kept free for those who need them most. in manchester, one organisation says it's pioneering a new way of working — that helps ease the pressure on nhs services. 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes, has been finding out more. it is the first call—out of the day.

we'll see you in half an hour. welcome back. we're getting into the business end of the football world cup now, with the first quarterfinals getting underway today. let's get the latest from john in qatar. we from john in qatar. are back on the beach not far from we are back on the beach not far from the england team hotel, where you can imagine preparations are well way i have a huge games are come against france, the quarterfinal of the world cup, things get a very serious. brazil and argentina are in action. captain southgate will be back at the helm, let's hope you will steer his ship a little better than the captain of this one, it has seen better days. good news for england, raheem sterling will be returning. he returned home following a robbery at his home back in england. we went back to be with his family, but he is now returning, so will link up with the team once again ahead of the match against france tomorrow.
6:33 am
we know france are the holders, they won the world cup last time out no less, some things to fear as far as france are concerned, but certainly things to feel confident about when you think about some of the quality, some of the players, that england have at their disposal. how will this play out? we have drawn on the expertise of the french football expert. expertise of the french football exert. ., ,., , expertise of the french football exert. , , expertise of the french football exert. ., , , ., expert. three reasons why england should be worried _ expert. three reasons why england should be worried about _ expert. three reasons why england should be worried about facing - should be worried about facing france tomorrow. the first one is pretty simple, kylian mbappe. he is the best player in the world, not just in the stormont where he has five goals as two assists, nobody is better than him and the entire world. when you have kylian mbappe against you, really i think it is very difficult. 0nce against you, really i think it is very difficult. once you have double kylian mbappe, let's not forget we are still the world champions,
6:34 am
technically until the 18th of december we are to still be world champions, and world champions do not give away their crown that easily. so watch out for the pride of the champions. the third reason why england should fear france as we are so used to these crunch games, vinyls, semi finals, quarterfinals, with us for you guys, i think the last time you beat a big mission in the knockout stages of the world cup was back in 1966, that long ago. i was back in 1966, that long ago. i was not even born at that time, and neither were the players that will face against france. there are also reasons why france will fear england, of course, the first one is you attacking power. apart from brazil may be, nobody else has had kane, bukayo saka, jack grealish, marcus rashford, phil foden, james maddison, all in the same squad, and if you use it well, i think that can help defence. and as of the
6:35 am
attacking part was not enough, you also have the best midfielder in this tournament so far in thejude bellingham. he is only 19, this tournament so far in thejude bellingham. he is only19, it this tournament so far in thejude bellingham. he is only 19, it is at the beginning for him in his career, but he is so talented, and i am worried he will run this midfield, he will control that area, one of the key areas of the game. and i think withjude bellingham and your team, i think the french have to be really worried. —— in your team. team, i think the french have to be really worried. —— in yourteam. 0ne really worried. —— in yourteam. one of the things england should be worried about is the fact that you have not beaten any of the other big nations in a knockout world cup status since 1966. what a wally defence right now is that that cannot last forever. eventually, finally there will be a point where you are going to do it, and the french will worry that the state is going to be saturday.— french will worry that the state is going to be saturday. there you go. that sets the _

going to be saturday. there you go. that sets the scene. _ going to be saturday. there you go. that sets the scene. one _ going to be saturday. there you go. that sets the scene. one more - that sets the scene. one more newsline away from mnc at the world cup. chelsea are on course to qualify for the quarter—finals of in the women's champions league after a 1—1 draw at real madrid. they came from behind to keep top spot in group a. chelsea's equaliser was given as an own goal by misa rodriguez after guro reiten's penalty came back off the post and rebounded in off the unlucky real madrid keeper. we are talking quarterfinals here, we see argentina in action today against the netherlands, what a matchup that will be. you have brazil versus croatia. and then tomorrow, england against france and morocco, one of the surprise packages of this tournament so far, taking on portugal. you can only wonder what gareth southgate and his team are talking about at the moment as they gear up for that match tomorrow. using a proud frenchman, i thought it was very objective there in his assessment of how this is going to play out for england
6:37 am
tomorrow. a very evenhanded approach, i thought. tomorrow. a very evenhanded approach, ithought. very tomorrow. a very evenhanded approach, i thought. very fair, tomorrow. a very evenhanded approach, ithought. very fair, if you are going to get a frenchman to a kind of look ahead to a quarterfinal in the world cup, you thought it might be a little skewed, right, in favour of the french? but not so. very fair, very objective take on the game. thanks, john, we will see you later on. as we've been hearing, it's crunch time for england as they get ready to face france in tomorrow's quarter—final. all eyes here will be on one of the emerging stars of gareth southgate's team — 19—year—old jude bellingham. mike is at his primary school in hagley. mike, you are always such a good performer, and look at you up on stage surrounded by the team. this
6:38 am
is the nativity _ stage surrounded by the team. try 3 is the nativity stage, does that kind of year. what a contrast to john on the beach in qatar, a bit of snow on the ground outside here. this is the stage wherejude bellingham would have been in the nativity, he only left here eight years ago, so not long ago. i must find out what he was in the nativity when he was here. i think i was sheep numberfour, that was when he was here. i think i was sheep number four, that was about as good as i got. he means so much than here, talk about him, they are so excited that now the world is seeing what the school and the area around here so all those years ago, the skill, the amazing talent to the world is now seeing on the world stage, but alsojude the human being, the humble man comedy boy that he was, helping others all the time. and right across the city of birmingham, about half an hour away, he has already left this legacy, including youngsters who have been named after him. i went to see one yesterday.
6:39 am
this is littlejude from birmingham. he's nearly three and loves his football and he won't remember the time that he met big jude, england starjude bellingham, when he was just six weeks old. when was he born? when bellingham was playing for birmingham city, and who babyjude was named after, having been born on the 22nd of december, jude bellingham's shirt number. and it's in from bellingham! what a moment. parents paige and james still cherish the gifts that bellingham gave babyjude that day. and it gives him such pride now to see their football prodigy showing the world, the player and person that they saw. to see him whenjude was six weeks old was 16 and now is 19, and he'sjust progressing so much and itjust makes us feel really proud. the family connections don't end here.
6:40 am
jude now has a baby brother, arlo, born also on the 22nd, but was due onjune the 29th, bellingham's actual birthday. it was only 16 years ago that jude bellingham himself was a three—year—old growing up in stourbridge in the west midlands. althouthude says he didn't really enjoy football at first, he kept going to keep his dad happy. and then when he was six, it clicked and he fell in love with the game, and was up and running. just over a decade later, and bellingham's status and legacy are etched into the heart of the community in stourbridge. and on this chilly night, i brought our version ofjude bellingham back to his hometown of stourbridge, right to the centre just down the road from the football club where his dad played and wherejude himself took his first steps in the beautiful game, where they kick every ball with him, and they'll be cheering him to the rafters. the star to put fear into all of france football. # hey, jude #.
6:41 am
it'sjust incredible, - the talent that he has, making the town proud. ijust genuinely think everybody is in awe, and itjust keeps a focal point for anybody who thinks and dreams of being a better player and in getting to where he is now. this young lad honestly got in my eyes as being the star of the world cup. they see him as still one of them, the humble kid who found us football and fit here. little dude has already been so inspired by big jude, we thought it was only fair to help of his latest ambition. happy birthday, there is the latest england kit, and the shorts. wejust need the back. england kit, and the shorts. we 'ust need the back.�* need the back. definitely going to ut need the back. definitely going to -utjude need the back. definitely going to put jude and _ need the back. definitely going to put jude and 22 — need the back. definitely going to put jude and 22 on _ need the back. definitely going to put jude and 22 on the _ need the back. definitely going to put jude and 22 on the back. -

6:49 am
last thing. thanks very much, matt. that cold weather has been particularly hard for the residents of one village just outside sheffield. for the past week, hundreds of homes in stannington have been without gas, after a burst water main flooded the supplies. cathy killick has been speaking to some of those affected. 78—year—old edna jones has been given a heat pad by the gas company cadent. it's helping, but she's in remission from bowel cancer and is vulnerable to the cold. well, i've got heaters, but it only blows so much out. and you move out to that room and it's freezing in the next room, and it's just one thing after another. a media briefing by sheffield city council, cadent, and yorkshire water was interrupted by a couple of residents fed up with the situation and wanting answers about how it happened.
6:50 am
it's absolutely deplorable, this. the infrastructure has changed very little since we were in public ownership back in the 1980s. they're more concerned about the shareholders rather than the citizens of stannington and surrounding areas. yorkshire water couldn't tell them much. what led to the rupture of the main in the first place? so at the moment, we're looking into that. but it's an asbestos cement main that failed. we're just trying to identify exactly the reasons for that failure. how old was it? it was installed in 1970. 200 cadent engineers are on site pumping water out of the gas system of each affected household and restoring supply, to the last 500 households, hopefully by the weekend. 157 properties may take longer. it's a worry for the council which has this message for residents.
6:51 am
the number to call is 011a 273 4567. that's the council's incident support helpline. and we will make sure that we get people out if you've got any concerns at all about any vulnerable residents. in the meantime, the village shop, itself without gas, is cooking sausages for residents in its electric ovens. the community has pulled together admirably, but patience is wearing thin as the cold truly begins to bite. cathy killick, bbc news. 0ur reporter mark ansell is in stannington for us this morning. mark, how are residents coping? we are in edna's home here today in stannington, and thus burst water main has affected the gas supply, and initially affected 2000 homes, but there are hundreds of people
6:52 am

6:57 am
are expected throughout the week, as trains and staff may be in the wrong place. are the rail strikes changing your plans next week or in the lead up to christmas? we want to hear what they will mean for you. get in touch with us by emailing to share your and we could be featuring you on our programme next week. a former senior met police officer says he backs a new report which wants wholesale changes to the way police use stop and search powers. neil basu, who was an assistant commissioner with the met, says he was stopped and searched as both a child and adult, so has direct experience of the policy. the new report says the police need to focus on how front line officers are recruited and trained. two female rugby referees from chelmsford are hoping to inspire other women to pick up a whistle and join in. there's a shortage of match officials in rugby, particularly amongst women.
6:58 am
yueli ang and amanda arnold have been named as two inspiring referees by the rugby football union, who aim to recruit 500 new female officials over the next two years. i say we don't say it in the first instance. one person in a new club with 30 people on the field that you have to be responsible for. but people in rugby is just so welcoming. so every club i've been to have been great and i've been loving the experience, learning something new. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, apart from minor delays on the circle line due to train cancellations. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, there's a lot more cloud around this morning, but still, it's another bitterly cold start to the day. just watch out for a few icy stretches and maybe one or two wintry flurries here and there as well. but it really won't amount to very much at all.
6:59 am
and for the vast majority of us, it will stay dry. a few patches of freezing fog. where we've got that, it will be very slow to lift and clear. but a lot of the cloud will tend to break up as we head through the afternoon to give us some brighter spells here and there. so a bit of sunshine as we end the day. for most, top temperatures only between 2—4 degrees celsius. so again, very cold overnight tonight, another widespread air, frost developing, clearskies, light winds, and temperatures will drop perhaps as low as —4 or —5 degrees celsius. into tomorrow morning, there'll be some more freezing fog patches developing as well. they should lift and clear as we head through the morning to give us some brighter spells. but sunshine again on saturday afternoon for most of us. but there'll be some more freezing fog on sunday, and this time, it could linger for much of the day, so temperatures may not make it much past1 celsius. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now.

hello from qatar, head of the start of the world cup quarterfinals, with both brazil and argentina in action today. here, a short distance from the england team hotel, their preparations continue ahead of the huge game to come against france tomorrow. eurovision success and topping the charts — 2022 has been quite a year for sam ryder, and he's here to tell us how he's seeing it out in style. it is cold. it is staying cold as well. there is some snow, some ice. this weekend we add freezing fog into the mix. full forecast on breakfast. good morning. it's friday, december 9th. the family of harry dunn is calling for a review of the us uk extradition treaty, ahead of a meeting with the foreign secretary, james cleverly. it comes after an american woman, anne sacoolas, was yesterday handed a suspended sentence for causing
7:02 am
the death of the teenage motorcyclist in northamptonshire in 2019. tim muffett reports. a three year quest forjustice, finally delivered at the old bailey. harry dunn's parents had fought long and hard to ensure anne sacoolas was held accountable for her actions — actions which led to the death of their 19—year—old son in 2019. having pleaded guilty in october to causing death by careless driving, anne sacoolas, appearing in court yesterday via video link from america, was told of her sentence. you are disqualified from driving for 12 months for the offence of causing the death of harry dunn by your careless driving. the sentence is eight months' imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. job done. promise complete. properly — properly complete now. you know, anne sacoolas has a criminal record for the rest
7:03 am
of her life. that was something that, you know, she never thought she'd see, the us government never thought that they'd see. and we've worked tirelessly and relentlessly to make sure that she, in the end, still had to do what you and i would have had to have done. so, yeah, harry, we've done it! harry dunn was killed when his motorcycle was hit by a car being driven by anne sacoolas on the wrong side of the road. it happened less than a mile from a secret american air force base, raf croughton in northamptonshire. she had previously worked for the cia, and claimed diplomatic immunity because her husband also worked for us intelligence. a few weeks after the crash, anne sacoolas left the country. harry's family campaigned hard on their late son's behalf. they met president trump, who refused to send sacoolas back to the uk. but following discussions between the then prime minister borisjohnson, and a new president, joe biden, she was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. in october, anne sacoolas pleaded
7:04 am
guilty to a lesser charge of causing death by careless driving. the judge urged her to attend yesterday's sentencing at the old bailey in person. harry dunn's family were horrified when she refused to do so, following advice from the us government. after yesterday's sentencing, others condemned her absence. the outcome is not particularly satisfactory in terms of punishing the person who committed the crime, but it at least attributes the blame properly, attributes the sentence, even though that sentence will never be served. but what it does leave us with is a feeling that this treaty that it's happened under, is not right and has to be put right. in a statement, anne sacoolas extended her sincerest condolences to harry dunn's family and friends. she said she lived with the regrets of her tragic mistake every single day, and offered to meet and apologise to them in person. harry's family said they were no longer interested in doing so.
7:05 am
the offer, they said, was too little, too late. tim muffett, bbc news. it was obviously a very emotional day yesterday. we'll be speaking to harry's mother charlotte charles, just after eight this morning. rescue teams are searching for three people missing from a fishing boat off the island ofjersey. the vessel is believed to have sunk early yesterday morning after colliding with a cargo ferry. robert hall reports. in port and visibly damaged, the freight ferry commodore goodwill is a regular visitor to the channel islands, travelling the route from portsmouth to jersey and guernsey with passengers and supplies. yesterday morning, on calm seas, she turned south intojersey�*s wide st 0uen's bay en route for st helier. an online tracking app captures the sequence
7:06 am
of events that unfolded. ahead of the goodwill, is thejersey trawler l'ecume ii. the two vessels converge. the moment of collision is clear. the goodwill then turns back to retrace her course. and by now, an urgent call to the coastguard has brought lifeboats racing to the scene, followed by a small fleet of fishing boats anxious to join the search, fearful that one of their own may have been involved. a large number of local fishing vessels have also been helping with the search. i'd like to express my thanks to them. we also have deployed drones, beach lifeguards on jet skis and honorary police officers on the beach. the vessel is believed to have sunk in approximately 40 metres of water, which will require specialist diving resources to examine. as the tide fell, the worst news was confirmed. one of the fishing vessels had spotted the lost trawler using its underwater radar. among the missing was experienced and respected local skipper michael michieli. jersey's fishing family, and those
7:07 am
of their french neighbours, shared shock and disbelief. fishermen will rally together, and they do rally together, regardless of nationality. we have seen this in previous incidents. it's good to see the boys all out on the scene. it was one of our fishing vessels that located the wreckage on the sea bed around 9am this morning. they had been there since before daylight. the underwater survey, and the search for the missing, were due to continue into the evening. meanwhile, the marine accident investigation is gathering pace, and the question it has to answer is how tragedy overtook two vessels and two crews so familiar with these waters. robert hall, bbc news, channel islands. a major overhaul of the uks financial sector will be announced by the chancellor today, in a bid to boost growth. at a speech in edinburgh, jeremy hunt will introduce more than 30 regulatory reforms, including a loosening of rules

7:27 am
or in the lead—up to christmas? we want to hear what they will mean for you. get in touch with us by emailing hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk to share your story, and we could be featuring you on our programme next week. nuisance and noisy drivers in east london could face £100 fines from the new year, after complaints cars have been using some areas "as a race track." newham council has brought in a public space protection order around beckton, the royal docks, and stratford. there have been increasing reports of street racing, engine revving, and car meets in the area. a former senior met police officer says he backs a new report which wants wholesale changes to the way police use stop and search powers. neil basu — who was an assistant commissioner with the met — says he was stopped and searched as both a child and adult, so has direct experience of the policy. the new report says the police need to focus on how front line officers are recruited and trained. essex police say their officers have made 65 arrests in connection with their latest anti—drink and drug—driving campaign.
7:28 am
they're targeting potential offenders during the world cup tournament and in the run—up to christmas. 29 people were questioned on suspicion of drink driving, 23 on suspicion of drug driving and 13 for failing to provide a specimen. there's a mostly good service on the tubes this morning. minor delays on the circle and bakerloo lines due to cancellations. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, there's a lot more cloud around this morning, but still, it's another bitterly cold start to the day. just watch out for a few icy stretches and maybe one or two wintry flurries here and there as well. but it really won't amount to very much at all. and for the vast majority of us, it will stay dry. a few patches of freezing fog. where we've got that, it will be very slow to lift and clear. but a lot of the cloud will tend to break up as we head through the afternoon to give us some brighter spells here and there. so a bit of sunshine as we end the day. for most, top temperatures only between 2—4 degrees celsius. so again, very cold overnight tonight. another widespread air,
7:29 am
frost developing, clear skies, light winds, and temperatures will drop perhaps as low as —4 or —5 degrees celsius. into tomorrow morning, there'll be some more freezing fog patches developing as well. they should lift and clear as we head through the morning to give us some brighter spells. but sunshine again on saturday afternoon for most of us. but there'll be some more freezing fog on sunday, and this time, it could linger for much of the day, so temperatures may not make it much pasti celsius. that's it — if you want to find out more details about next week's strikes, head to our website. we'll see you in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. reaction to harry and meghan's new netflix series dominates many of today's front pages. here's just some of them. in the first three episodes, the couple go into detail about their relationship,
7:30 am
press intrusion, and racism. the final episodes will be released on december 15. let's speak now to our royal correspondent sarah campbell. what have we found out from the first three episodes? morning, charlie. as we saw yesterday i think initially, the bombshell revelations which had been talked about it did not really emerge, but even so, as you have seen that there, because they are one of the most talked about couples in the world, they are still all over the front pages. so be first three episodes took us up until the day before their wedding, lots of personal detail, the fact they sort of met over instagram, there were videos of archie, pictures of lonely bet, all sorts of personal detail, i
7:31 am

charles barely merited a mention, harry's late mother diana was mentioned frequently throughout the series, and one comment by harry has been picked up by men newspapers today because of the potential might potentially cold, because much of the royal men as he talking about in this clip? for the royal men as he talking about in this cli - ? ., ,., the royal men as he talking about in this cli? ., . , the royal men as he talking about in thiscli? ., . , , this clip? for so many people in the famil , this clip? for so many people in the family, especially _ this clip? for so many people in the family, especially men, _ this clip? for so many people in the family, especially men, there - this clip? for so many people in the family, especially men, there can i this clip? for so many people in the| family, especially men, there can be a temptation — family, especially men, there can be a temptation to _ family, especially men, there can be a temptation to marry— family, especially men, there can be a temptation to marry somebody - family, especially men, there can bei a temptation to marry somebody who would _ a temptation to marry somebody who would fit _ a temptation to marry somebody who would fit the — a temptation to marry somebody who would fit the mould _ a temptation to marry somebody who would fit the mould as _ a temptation to marry somebody who would fit the mould as opposed - a temptation to marry somebody who would fit the mould as opposed to . would fit the mould as opposed to somebody— would fit the mould as opposed to somebody we _ would fit the mould as opposed to somebody we perhaps _ would fit the mould as opposed to somebody we perhaps are - would fit the mould as opposed to| somebody we perhaps are destined would fit the mould as opposed to - somebody we perhaps are destined to be with. _ somebody we perhaps are destined to be with. the _ somebody we perhaps are destined to be with, the difference _ somebody we perhaps are destined to be with, the difference between- be with, the difference between making — be with, the difference between making decisions— be with, the difference between making decisions with _ be with, the difference between making decisions with your- be with, the difference between| making decisions with your head be with, the difference between. making decisions with your head or your heart — after the documentary aired, there was some confusion over whether the royal family and the palaces were given the right to reply. at the start of each episode, i think there was a nod to that.
7:33 am
absolutely, the start of the very first episode, teddy cleary said, members of the royal family declined to comment on this series. the palace came back and said we were not contacted. netflix doubled back and said we did contact them, a right to the plight further clarification from the royal palaces, that they did receive an e—mail purporting to be from a third—party production company via an e—mail address. they sought clarification from netflix and the sussexes' production company, they said that there location was not forthcoming, therefore no response was provided to the said that verification was not forthcoming. certainly what we can say is that there once no comment after the three episodes were aired yesterday. sarah, ithink three episodes were aired yesterday. sarah, i think the phrase you used, there was not the bombshell revelations that possibly people had been thinking about. but we have three more episodes, three more hours to come.
7:34 am
three more episodes, three more hours to come-— three more episodes, three more hours to come. absolutely, i watch them at home _ hours to come. absolutely, i watch them at home yesterday, - hours to come. absolutely, i watch them at home yesterday, and - hours to come. absolutely, i watch them at home yesterday, and i - hours to come. absolutely, i watch i them at home yesterday, and i think you got the real sense when you watched them back to back that this was setting up the context for what is going to happen in the next three episodes. you will not be surprised to hear that netflix gave us a little teaser. here it is. everything that has happened to us was always— everything that has happened to us was always going _ everything that has happened to us was always going to _ everything that has happened to us was always going to happen - everything that has happened to us was always going to happen to - everything that has happened to us was always going to happen to us. i was always going to happen to us. suddenly— was always going to happen to us. suddenly what _ was always going to happen to us. suddenly what clicked _ was always going to happen to us. suddenly what clicked in _ was always going to happen to us. suddenly what clicked in my- was always going to happen to us. suddenly what clicked in my head i suddenly what clicked in my head was, _ suddenly what clicked in my head was, it— suddenly what clicked in my head was, it is— suddenly what clicked in my head was, it is never going to stop. there — was, it is never going to stop. there was— was, it is never going to stop. there was no other option at this point _ there was no other option at this point so— there was no other option at this oint. ,., there was no other option at this oint. i. , , there was no other option at this oint. ,, , , . there was no other option at this oint. i. , , . , point. so you get the sense that is the wedding _ point. so you get the sense that is the wedding to _ point. so you get the sense that is the wedding to come, _ point. so you get the sense that is the wedding to come, the - point. so you get the sense that is i the wedding to come, the pregnancy, the wedding to come, the pregnancy, the south africa trip where meghan first opened up to the camera is about her unhappiness. that is the split, the sandringham summit, the fact they wanted to be half and half out royals, and the royal family, the queen, decided that that wasn't going to be the case. 50 no doubt it'll be a fascinating watch, and much to come. the rest of the royals
7:35 am
are carrying on, it is business as usual, the king and the queen consort will be in wrexham today celebrating their city status. they have not given that any comment. is there sadness as to what has happened? i think undoubtably there must be, this is prince harry, this is their son, their brother, but there's more to come. whether there will be comment after next week's episode two, we have to wait to see, but we have episodes four, five and six dropping at 8.00am next thursday morning, we will have to wait and see what is in them. back to you. sarah, thank you very much. we have had a couple of those break from the football, but it begins again today. —— a couple of days. let's get the latest from john in qatar.

certain, and one coach in their way has beaten greater odds. to make use quarterfinal is to come today, england and then morocco against portugal as well, potentially awaiting england in the semifinals if of course they can get past france tomorrow, a big if. chelsea are on course to qualify for the quarterfinals of in the women's champions league after a 1—1 draw at real madrid. they came from behind to keep top spot in group a. chelsea's equaliser was given as an own goal by misa rodriguez after guro reiten's penalty came back off the post and rebounded in off the unlucky real madrid keeper. away from football, and it's the first day of the second test between england and pakistan. england secured a brilliant win in the first test in rawalpindi, and another here would give them their first series win in pakistan since 2000.

good covering, especially over hills but into lower levels. more wintry showers in northern ireland, the isle of man, and will start to see them encroach into north—west wales and the north west midlands as we go through the afternoon, too. a bit more class towards the south—east competitor yesterday, and after that goal start, temperatures were struggling to lift up, it will be another cold one. then we go into tonight, icy conditions possible, could be more wintry showers compared with recent notes. away from that, some mist and fog forming toward some eastern counties of england, and another widespread frost. not at school for cumbria and towards northerly parts of wales. this zone as it was last night, but elsewhere, we could see temperatures again of 96,—7 in a few spots. then as we go to the weekend, storm cold, but an increasing chance of freezing fog around, freezing fog for some eastern areas as we go through saturday to begin the east, but moore knew wintry showers in north—west england and parts of wales. snow in scotland also
7:59 am
affecting moisten areas as we go through saturday. elsewhere, sunny spells as you are, it will feel quite chilly. then as we go through into sunday, low pressure is actually above us instead of high pressure, but the isobars opening out, meaning winds are lighter, greater chance of fog more widely across england and wales, but also because it is low pressure, the airlifting up, there will be a few more showers around. where you have fog, temperatures will stick below freezing, and the cold weather will continue all the time we go into next week, that is how the weather is looking. matt, thanks very much. we will be back shortly with the headlines.
8:00 am
this good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. the family of harry dunn will meet the foreign secretary to call for a review of extradition laws. it follows the sentencing of the american woman who caused his death. royal mail workers begin a wave of strikes that will disrupt christmas deliveries. good morning. charities and businesses warn the government is not doing enough to help people insulating their homes this winter, as temperatures dropped i will be

looking at the options you have to help keep your home warm. good morning from doha, as the quarter finals get underway. brazil and argentina in action today whilst england gear up for that huge match against france tomorrow raheem sterling will return and link up raheem sterling will return and link up with his team—mates today. good morning. it's friday, december 9th. the family of harry dunn is calling for a review of the us uk extradition treaty, ahead of a meeting with the foreign secretary, james cleverly. it comes after an american woman, anne sacoolas, was yesterday handed a suspended sentence for causing the death of the teenage motorcyclist in northamptonshire in 2019. tim muffett reports. a three year quest forjustice, finally delivered at the old bailey. harry dunn's parents had fought long and hard to ensure anne sacoolas was held accountable for her actions — actions which led to the death
8:02 am
of their i9—year—old son in 2019. having pleaded guilty in october to causing death by careless driving, anne sacoolas, appearing in court yesterday via video link from america, was told of her sentence. you are disqualified from driving for 12 months for the offence of causing the death of harry dunn by your careless driving. the sentence is eight months' imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. job done. promise complete. properly — properly complete now. you know, anne sacoolas has a criminal record for the rest of her life. that was something that, you know, she never thought she'd see, the us government never thought that they'd see. and we've worked tirelessly and relentlessly to make sure that she, in the end, still had to do what you and i would have had to have done. so, yeah, harry, we've done it! harry dunn was killed when his motorcycle was hit by a car
8:03 am
being driven by anne sacoolas on the wrong side of the road. it happened less than a mile from a secret american air force base, raf croughton in northamptonshire. she had previously worked for the cia, and claimed diplomatic immunity because her husband also worked for us intelligence. a few weeks after the crash, anne sacoolas left the country. harry's family campaigned hard on their late son's behalf. they met president trump, who refused to send sacoolas back to the uk. but following discussions between the then prime minister borisjohnson, and a new president, joe biden, she was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. in october, anne sacoolas pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of causing death by careless driving. the judge urged her to attend yesterday's sentencing at the old bailey in person. harry dunn's family were horrified when she refused to do so, following advice from the us government. after yesterday's sentencing,
8:04 am
others condemned her absence. the outcome is not particularly satisfactory in terms of punishing the person who committed the crime, but it at least attributes the blame properly, attributes the sentence, even though that sentence will never be served. but what it does leave us with is a feeling that this treaty that it's happened under, is not right and has to be put right. in a statement, anne sacoolas extended her sincerest condolences to harry dunn's family and friends. she said she lived with the regrets of her tragic mistake every single day, and offered to meet and apologise to them in person. harry's family said they were no longer interested in doing so. the offer, they said, was too little, too late. tim muffett, bbc news. we'll be speaking to harry's mother charlotte charles in a few minutes.
8:05 am
four minutes past eight. postal workers at royal mail have begun a wave of strikes in the run—up to christmas, in a row over pay and conditions. the walkouts involve 115,000 workers and will impact deliveries across the uk. the union has said its members want a pay rise that matches the soaring cost of living. but royal mail insist they are unable to fund the pay offer, without changes being made. rescue teams are searching for three people missing from a fishing boat off the island ofjersey. the vessel is believed to have sunk early yesterday morning after colliding with a cargo ferry. meghan owen is in saint helier. she can bring us up to date with the search. ii i she can bring us up to date with the search. ii , i, i, , , search. yeah, it is a really sombre mood this — search. yeah, it is a really sombre mood this morning. _ search. yeah, it is a really sombre mood this morning. i _ search. yeah, it is a really sombre mood this morning. i am - search. yeah, it is a really sombre mood this morning. i am sure - search. yeah, it is a really sombre mood this morning. i am sure it i mood this morning. i am sure it

8:09 am
it's absolutely deplorable, this. the infrastructure has changed very little since we were in public ownership back in the 1980s. they're more concerned about the shareholders rather than the citizens of stannington and surrounding areas. yorkshire water couldn't tell them much. what led to the rupture of the main in the first place? so at the moment, we're looking into that. but it's an asbestos cement main that failed. we're just trying to identify exactly the reasons for that failure. how old was it? it was installed in 1970. 200 cadent engineers are on site pumping water out of the gas system of each affected household and restoring supply, to the last 500 households, hopefully by the weekend. 157 properties may take longer. it's a worry for the council which has this message for residents. the number to call is 011a 273 4567.
8:10 am
that's the council's incident support helpline. and we will make sure that we get people out if you've got any concerns at all about any vulnerable residents. in the meantime, the village shop, itself without gas, is cooking sausages for residents in its electric ovens. the community has pulled together admirably, but patience is wearing thin as the cold truly begins to bite. cathy killick, bbc news. well, yorkshire water has apologised for the _ well, yorkshire water has apologised for the situation. they say in a statement, we constantly monitor our pipes so— statement, we constantly monitor our pipes so we _ statement, we constantly monitor our pipes so we can reduce the risks of bursts, _ pipes so we can reduce the risks of bursts, and — pipes so we can reduce the risks of bursts, and a pipe in stannington here, _ bursts, and a pipe in stannington here, which— bursts, and a pipe in stannington here, which was put in in 1970, hasn't — here, which was put in in 1970, hasn't bursting almost a decade.

jeremy hunt will introduce more than 30 regulatory reforms — including a loosening of rules on banks and their staff introduced after the financial crisis in 2008. but critics say it could be dangerous to forget the lessons of the past. the singer celine dion has revealed she's been diagnosed with a rare, neurological disorder. speaking on instagram she said the condition is affecting her movement and voice, which has forced her to reschedule next year's uk and european tour, as wendy urquhart reports. celine dion has topped the charts all over the world and her songs have won countless awards, but her lifestyle is about to change drastically. the 54—year—old fought back tears on thursday, as she told her 5.2 million instagram followers that she is suffering from stiff person's syndrome, sps,
8:13 am
a rare neurological disorder with autoimmune disease symptoms which affects around one in a million people worldwide. unfortunately, the spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when i walk, and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way i'm used to. celine dion was due to tour in europe and the uk in spring next year, but fans will have to wait a bit longer to hear their favourite songs live, while she concentrates on getting better. but cancelling those concerts is clearly breaking her heart. i have to admit, it's been a struggle. all i know is singing.
8:14 am
it's what i've done all my life. and it's what i love to do the most. she is working with a team of doctors and gaining the strength to carry on from her family. but she had this sweet message for herfans. i love you guys so much. and i really hope i can see you again real soon. and there has been lots of reaction to celine dion's video there. it has been very welcome, just to highlight the condition. charities have been saying that people who do open up about road conditions like this can help with them as well. we wish

two female rugby referees from chelmsford are hoping to inspire other women to pick up a whistle and join in. there's a shortage of match officials in rugby, particularly amongst women, and yueli ang and amanda arnold have been named as two inspiring referees by the rugby football union, who aim to recruit 500 new female officials over the next two years. it's daunting in the first instance. one person in a new club with 30 people on the field that you have to be responsible for. but people in rugby are just so welcoming, so every club i've been to have been great and i've been loving the experience, learning something new. there's a mostly good service on the tubes this morning.

minor delays on the district and bakerloo lines due to cancellations. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, there's a lot more cloud around this morning, but still, it's another bitterly cold start to the day. just watch out for a few icy stretches and maybe one or two wintry flurries here and there as well. but it really won't amount to very much at all. and for the vast majority of us, it will stay dry. a few patches of freezing fog. where we've got that, it will be very slow to lift and clear. but a lot of the cloud will tend to break up as we head through the afternoon to give us some brighter spells here and there. so a bit of sunshine as we end the day. top temperatures only between 2—4 degrees celsius. so again, very cold. overnight tonight, another widespread air frost developing, clear skies, light winds, and temperatures will drop perhaps as low as “i! or —5 degrees celsius into tomorrow morning. there'll be some more freezing fog patches developing as well. they should lift and clear as we head through the morning to give us some brighter spells.
8:31 am

8:38 am
let's get the latest from john in qatar. we are here on the beach just a short drive out of doha, and very close to where the england team hotel is at the moment. we have got brazil in action today, we will be seeing argentina as well, england of course taking on france tomorrow, and then it is portugal and morocco rounding off the quarterfinal line—up, all of those nations bidding now to get through to the semifinals of this world cup, and you wonder how gareth southgate and his team will be shown at the moment, as we edge ever closer towards kick off tomorrow. the big news from the england camp here this morning is that raheem sterling will be returning to link up with his team—mates, having returned home following that robbery at his home ahead of the match with senegal. he of course started two of england's matches, but headed back home so he could be with his family, but that will prove a real boost to the team here as he prepares to return. ahead
8:39 am
of that quarterfinal, there's this perception, this feeling, that when it comes to playing the bigger nations in the knockout matches at world cups, england tend to come out on the wrong side of them. but kalvin phillips, the england midfielder, has been playing that down, and he says that this england team have come a long way since they lost that euro is final to italy. i believe that we are stronger as a group, we are a lot better now going forward and defensively, so i believe that confidence is running through us and we are very confident to go out in the next few days and hopefully try and beat france. how do you decide this one? england versus france, the first time they have faced each other in a knockout match at a world cup. we know there's plenty to fear in the front side, but i think france promel have
8:40 am
a few things to fear from the english side of things as well. the french football writer and broadcasterjulien laurens explains just how a big a threat the team are. three reasons why england should be worried about facing france tomorrow. the first one is pretty simple — kylian. kylian mbappe is the best player in the world, not just in this world cup, where he has five goals and two assists — nobody is better than him in the entire world. when you have kylian mbappe against you, really i think it is very difficult. once you have dealt with kylian mbappe, let's not forget we are still the world champions, technically until the 18th of december we will still be world champions, and world champions do not give away their crown that easily. so watch out for the pride of the champions. the third reason why england should fear france is we are so used
8:41 am
to these crunch games, finals, semifinals, quarterfinals, with us for you guys, i think the last time you beat a big nation in the knockout stages of the world cup was back in 1966, that long ago. i was not even born at that time, and neither were the players that will face against france. there are also reasons why france will fear england, of course, the first one is you attacking power. apart from brazil maybe, nobody else has harry kane, bukayo saka, jack grealish, marcus rashford, phil foden, james maddison, raheem sterling, mason mount, all in the same squad, and if you use it well, i think that can hurt the french. and as if the attacking part was not enough, you also have the best midfielder in this tournament so far in jude bellingham. he is only 19, it is the beginning for him in his career, but he is so talented,
8:42 am
and i am worried he will run this midfield, he will control that area, one of the key areas of the game. and i think withjude bellingham in your team, i think the french have to be really worried. i said one of the things england should be worried about is the fact that you have not beaten any of the other big nations in a knockout world cup stages since 1966. what will worry the french right now is that that cannot last forever. eventually, finally there will be a point where you are going to do it, and the french will worry that this day is going to be saturday. afair a fair assessment from a proud frenchman, very impartial there, we have some argentina fans on here, a very good to you. their big game to come against the netherlands later. brazil against croatia as the get under way. brazil against croatia as the get underway. england brazil against croatia as the get under way. england of course against
8:43 am
france tomorrow, morocco against portugal, who will face the england of either england or france. and being here this morning, you get a sense of why gareth southgate picked this place, a very calm and see here, beautiful beach, fairly quiet. you get the sense of the relaxed nature of this place. we know how stressful it is watching england in a knockout match on a major tournament, you need a bit of coming down, it would of relaxation, don't you? but sadly, starting to rain here this morning. i hope that is not a sign of things to come. paar not a sign of things to come. poor ou, not a sign of things to come. poor you. john! — not a sign of things to come. poor you. john! i _ not a sign of things to come. poor you, john! i loved _ not a sign of things to come. poor you, john! i loved julien's - you, john! i loved julien's approach, you know i do not really know my football, but i'm doing not permit from were quite a lot of people are doing, i absorb other people's expertise, so when somebody asks nick and i can say isn't it interesting how the french have done so well against bigger nations in the past and we have not done so well? asjulien explained it so nicely. well? as julien explained it so nicel . , well? as julien explained it so nicel. �* ., nicely. exactly, if you're having

those conversations _ nicely. exactly, if you're having those conversations today - nicely. exactly, if you're having those conversations today in i nicely. exactly, if you're having. those conversations today in the lead up to be much, you have got julien's takes on how it is to go. john, i hope you can weather the storm of that bit of drizzle for you in qatar. good morning from jude bellingham 's former primary school. a very special nativity performance. they are in fine voice here this morning, anything but calm here. we have the skills being practised, jude bellingham's control and technique. some of these kids play for the school and play for stourbridge, just likejude bellingham started out doing. he is an inspiration right across birmingham, some half
8:45 am
an hour away, he played of course for birmingham city first of all. in the city there, some people have been so inspired by him that they have even named their children after jude bellingham, as i saw yesterday. this is littlejude from birmingham. he's nearly three and loves his football and he won't remember the time that he met big jude, england starjude bellingham, when he was just six weeks old. when was he born? 22nd of december. when bellingham was playing for birmingham city, and who babyjude was named after, having been born on the 22nd of december, jude bellingham's shirt number. and it's in from bellingham! what a moment. parents paige and james still cherish the gifts that bellingham gave babyjude that day. and it gives him such pride now to see their football prodigy showing the world the player
8:46 am
and person that they saw then. to see him whenjude was six weeks old was 16, and now he's19, and he'sjust progressing so much and itjust makes us feel really proud. the family connections don't end here. jude now has a baby brother, arlo, born also on the 22nd, but was due onjune the 29th, bellingham's actual birthday. it was only 16 years ago that jude bellingham himself was a three—year—old growing up in stourbridge in the west midlands. althouthude says he didn't really enjoy football at first, he kept going to keep his dad happy. and then when he was six, it clicked and he fell in love with the game, and was up and running. just over a decade later, and bellingham's status and legacy are etched into the heart of the community in stourbridge. and on this chilly night, i brought our version ofjude bellingham back to his hometown of stourbridge, right to the centre just down the road from the football club where his dad played and wherejude himself took his first steps in the beautiful game, where they kick every ball with him, and they'll be
