and says the damage will cost many what and says the damage will cost many you see here i belongings what you see here is that all of our belongings are completely ruined. we haven't even had a chance to finish unpacking our boxes. we haven't had a chance to finish moving even some of our utility bills haven't been brought over from the previous match, and you even haven't had a chance to take out contents insurance. thames water says loss adjusters have been on site making contact with those affected. it's apologised for the damage caused and says water supplies have now been restored to most properties. police have set up a web page for people to upload pictures and videos — of a crush outside the brixton academy last week, which killed a woman. it's hoped it'll give important clues as to how — during a show by afropop artist ashakay — the crush happened. 33—year—old mother of two — rebecca iku—melo, from newham, died from her injuries. two other women in their 20s are in hospital. hannukha, the jewish festival of light, began last night and will last

eight days with menorahs or candelabras being lit each day in homes and public spaces across london. it's a time of celebration but in the words of a rabbi in ealing, the occasion is about more than just lighting candles. it is about creating light into the outside world. let's take a look at the tubes now. apart closure on the bakerloo and overground, as well from central to north west london because of work going on and replacement buses are taking place of those lights. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a very different start to the morning compared to the last week or so. it is significantly milder. night time temperature stayed in double figures. also today we are going to see some outbreaks of rain. the breeze is a south south—westerly breeze pushing in these outbreaks of rain. some of those could be quite heavy but it's also bringing the milder air.

temperatures today reaching 1a. so a huge leap in daytime temperatures compared to the last week or so. overnight it stays breezy, we got further outbreaks of rain and the temperature remains mild overnight as well. again in double figures. the minimum being 10 celsius. for tuesday, anotherfront the minimum being 10 celsius. for tuesday, another front will move through bringing spells and sudden so pretty breezy but the rain would clear out of the way and we'll start to see some sunshine developing once the cloud clears too. temperatures tomorrow, again mild looking at a maximum of round 13. as we had further through the week it's going to stay unsettled but it is going to stay very mild. night—time temperatures, frost free, daytime temperatures, frost free, daytime temperatures in double figures. a, temperatures in double figures. a lot more miles than it was this time last week end. that's it. back in half an hour. bye bye. good morning, you're watching breakfast with john

good morning, you're watching breakfast withjohn and nina. a week before christmas, we shouldn't really be talking about diets, should we? leave that untiljanuary. but we are talking this morning about energy diets. back in september, our climate editorjustin rowlatt metjade and her son eric, who live in gloucester, and he put them on a so—called energy diet. the idea was to see how much they could reduce their bills and carbon footprint with some simple tips. nowjustin's been back to see how they got on. meetjade meet jade and her seven—year—old meetjade and her seven—year—old son eric. they live in gloucester and, like the rest of us, jade is worried about soaring energy prices. so she has agreed to an experiment. we are putting jade and eric on an energy diet to see how much money they can save and how much they can reduce their impact on the climate along their impact on the climate along the way. right, let's start with heating because that is the biggest user of energy in your home and the first thing we are going to do is

turn this down to 20 or 18. 20. keep it on 20 and next time i look at the boiler. return the boiler temperature down too. i'm going to turn this down a notch and see how that works for you. all the way down below one. and the radiators in all the bedrooms. eric got an extra duvet, jade has got an electric blanket. so, jade, the idea is you keep this area, lounge and kitchen warm. keep that door shut. and then how about this, if you're watching telly with eric in the evening you can turn the heating down and maybe use a blanket? tqm. can turn the heating down and maybe use a blanket?— use a blanket? 0k, we will give it a t . if use a blanket? 0k, we will give it a try- if you're _ use a blanket? 0k, we will give it a try. if you're making _ use a blanket? 0k, we will give it a try. if you're making a _ use a blanket? 0k, we will give it a try. if you're making a cup - use a blanket? 0k, we will give it a try. if you're making a cup of- use a blanket? 0k, we will give it a try. if you're making a cup of tea, l try. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, try. if you're making a cup of tea, jade. measure — try. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it _ try. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out _ try. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in _ try. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in the - try. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in the cap. l try. if you're making a cup of tea, i jade, measure it out in the cap. we had some other tips too, always use the microwave when you can come it's more efficient, and lights out when you're not in the room, and your washing machine can run at 30 not 40.

with the energy price rises, her bills would have gone up by 60% but energy she has saved and the support from the government, her monthly payment is now 45% less than it was last year. and she has reduced carbon footprint too, cutting her household emissions by 223 kilograms of carbon dioxide, that's about the same as a one—way flight to tenerife. same as a one-way flight to tenerife-_ same as a one-way flight to tenerife. �* . , , , , tenerife. i'm really surprised actually- _ tenerife. i'm really surprised actually- l — tenerife. i'm really surprised actually. i didn't _ tenerife. i'm really surprised actually. i didn't think i tenerife. i'm really surprised actually. i didn't think it i tenerife. i'm really surprised. actually. i didn't think it would have that much of an impact. so here is the big question. _ have that much of an impact. so here is the big question. will— have that much of an impact. so here is the big question. will they i have that much of an impact. so here is the big question. will they stick i is the big question. will they stick with our energy diet?— with our energy diet? yeah. i like it. i with our energy diet? yeah. i like it- i would — with our energy diet? yeah. i like it. i would do _ with our energy diet? yeah. i like it. i would do it. _ with our energy diet? yeah. i like it. iwould do it. i— with our energy diet? yeah. i like it. iwould do it. ithink— with our energy diet? yeah. i like it. i would do it. i think i - with our energy diet? yeah. i like it. i would do it. i think i would i it. iwould do it. ithink i would keep most _ it. iwould do it. ithink i would keep most things. _ it. iwould do it. ithink i would keep most things. so - it. iwould do it. ithink i would keep most things. so i i it. iwould do it. ithink i would keep most things. so i think, i it. i would do it. i think i would i keep most things. so i think, what do ou keep most things. so i think, what do you reckon. _ keep most things. so i think, what do you reckon, guys, _ keep most things. so i think, what do you reckon, guys, you - keep most things. so i think, what do you reckon, guys, you can i keep most things. so i think, what do you reckon, guys, you can turn| do you reckon, guys, you can turn the heating up for christmas? yes. do you reckon, guys, you can turn the heating up for christmas? yes, i think 21 degrees. _ the heating up for christmas? yes, i think 21 degrees. no! _ think 21 degrees. no! # let it _ think 21 degrees. no!

one last thing remaining for him to win and he has done it and we talked about the greatest of all time. he is further cemented his status as the legend of the sport. it was a titanic battle against france in that final, early doors, lionel messi with a penalty putting argentina in front. and doubled their lead shortly after the half hour mark this one of the great world cup final goals. from their own half, just six touches which eventually saw brighton's alexis macallister play informer manchester united man angel di maria who fired first time past spurs captain hugo lloris brillianty. argentina held that lead until the 80th minute, but the match turned when kylian mbappe scored a penalty. and barely a minute later, after being outplayed virtually all match somehow france found themselves level. mbappe played a one—two with substitute marcus thuram before smashing a brilliant volley past emi martinez and suddenly all the momentum was with them. 2-2.

but here were no further goals during normal time and after a goalless first period argentina thought they'd won it in the 108th minute when messi — who else — tucked home the rebound for his seventh goal of the finals — very clearly across the line. it looked like it was surely going to be their night. but this astonishing final still had one more twist. with time ticking down, substitute gonzalo montiel was adjudged to have blocked kylian mbappe's effort with his elbow in the box, thus handing him the chance to draw france level again. mbappe. it was 3—3. becoming only the second person since sir geoff hurst in 1966 for england to score a world cup final hat trick. but it was hat—trick to heartbreak for him in the end because in the penalty shoot—out it was argentina that held their nerve. this is gonzalo montiel to win it. that's three world cup titles for argenitina —

and moves them fourth behind brazil, germany and italy and crown surely one of the most dramatic nights in world cup history. and these were the pictures the world was waiting to see — lionel messi at 35 with his hands on the one trophy that was missing from his collection. emulating maradona in guiding his country to world cup glory. that's the villa goalkeeper emi martinez behind him arms aloft, his saves during the match and in the shoot—out crucial. and a night that brighton's alexis macallistar will never forget — paying tribute to messi afterwards. i think he's the best player in the world. the best player at all times. he is amazing. he's a really nice quy- he is amazing. he's a really nice guy. he is humble. he has everything to be the best player in the history of the game so it's amazing to share the dressing room with him. and i am very grateful. delight for the players — but for argentina's fans who were in qatar in their tens of thousands it was unforgettable. and back home in buenos aires, for a country where football is a religion, the scenes were every

bit as memorable. our south america correspondent, katy watson, was watching the outpouring of emotion in the argentinian capital: cheering celebration and relief. after an epic final game. thejoy celebration and relief. after an epic final game. the joy people shared in the first half, the hope argentina could win this easily and quickly turned to stress in the second. many were unable to watch the penalties by the end. this has been a personal crusade for argentinians. wanting to win a third world cup, yes, but wanting to win it for lionel messi. the finaljune in the crown for their footballing legend after a glittering career. their mission accomplished, hundreds of thousands of lionel messi fans all with their number ten shirts, came out onto the streets across the

believing and what a story in the end. that was the final, neither team gave up and they both had the upper hand at various points but never let go. the two best teams in the end of this competition are the two best players, a fitting final. thank you very much. if they think that a long time coming... try living here. don't go there. we go to other prizes no. film awards. the film award season is under way and one early contenderfor some big prizes is called "tar". it's about a celebrated conductor — played by cate blanchett — in the male—dominated world of classical music. our culture editor katie razzall has been speaking to cate blanchett, and to the film's director todd field. lydia macro—photo is many things. this is very much cate blanchett is a movie written specifically for her, the actor tipped for another oscarfor her her, the actor tipped for another oscar for her role as fictional conductor and composer lydia tar.

you would think that with all the train strikes and high fuel prices that more of us would be taking advantage of the bus wouldn't you. for most of us, buses are — at least at some point — a part of everyday life. that might for getting to school, work, for an evening out or especially if you live in a rural area and want to get around. although it remains the uk's most used form of transport, passenger numbers and the number of routes running have generally been falling over the last few decades. to try to reverse that, the department for transport is freezing bus fares at just £2 from january until march. at the moment, the average single fare is £2.80 so buses are a bit more affordable than taking the train or car. but the hope is that the fare cap will benefit longer and more rural journeys. the scheme was announced several months ago but more details have just been released. more than 130 bus and coach operators running thousands of routes will take part. overall this idea will cost £60 million and is initially only for england.

worth mentioning — it does not include london. and the metro mayors in greater manchester and west yorkshire already decided to freeze fares earlier this year. the question is — will it work? the benefits for passengers are fairly considerable so the average fare for a passenger in the uk is about £2 80. obviously the fair at £2 gives you a third off but on some very rural or long distance routes the fair can be £10 for a single. and the £2 still applies, so it's good news for customers. let's see if we can get some passengers interested in the january, february, march period. like most sectors, bus operators have faced problems this year. some routes have been cut. passenger numbers are still below what they were before the pandemic and much lower than a number of decades ago when fewer people had a car.

firms have also had problems attracting drivers. nationally, vacancy rates are averaging 10%. there have also been strikes over pay and conditions in various disputes across the country. passenger groups have welcomed the new scheme, but they say bus fares need to come down permanently and they want the government to invest more widely in the bus network to try to cut the number of cars on the road. it's choking up every city and town in the country at the moment in thing the government could do more to help everybody get their way through congestion is investing more in letting the bass go first, whether it is bus lanes or traffic light signals which promote bass only streams, getting more people to use the bus because it's quicker and more reliable won'tjust help the people who are using the bus, but will help the people who, for whatever reason, needed to use their car for a whatever reason, needed to use their carfor a particular whatever reason, needed to use their car for a particularjourney. whatever reason, needed to use their carfor a particularjourney. 1instill car for a particular 'ourney. will

have to wait h car for a particular 'ourney. will have to wait and _ car for a particularjourney. will have to wait and see whether this will get us on the buses long term. interesting to note one example, the route between hull and york, a distance of a0 miles would normally cost you in the region of eight pound 51 way will now only be two pounds, so there are going to be some bargains out there for people who may not have realised or even thought to take the bus, but a long term solution to reverse a long decline in bus travel, we will see. that's a complaint from a lot of people, i would use the best but it's not reliable, affordable but it is the price down. i think it's about the incentives, and the reliability as well, the times you don't want to be standing that long at a bus stop so all of those factors, they say the bus fares are a good first move but i think the firms think actually a lot more needs to be done to make the much an attractive option. thank you. really do waiting at the bus stop this morning because it could be milder. here's matt with a look at the weather. good morning. i'm not mild at the

bus stop this morning that's for sure but you would have been swapping the gloves and hats may be for an umbrella this morning because to go with a milder weather we do have some rain around certainly to the south and west of the country. let me show you how mild it is out there. temperatures in the next hour well into double figures for the vast majority of the country, lifting up a little bit now across parts of eastern scotland and north east england but we still have snow on the health and some minor flooding across southern parts of england where we could see some more heavy rain coming through later this morning, clearing by lunchtime. rain will come and go through the day be forced parts of wales, northern ireland brighten up later with some sunny spells fourth and elsewhere the odd glimmer of sunshine punctured in the cloud by the strength of the wind and it will touch 50—60 across western areas at times. the wind will temper the milderfeeling a times. the wind will temper the milder feeling a little times. the wind will temper the milderfeeling a little bit times. the wind will temper the milder feeling a little bit but still 12-14 milder feeling a little bit but still 12—14 above the 6—9 we should be at this stage of the year. tonight, more rain to come to the

south and east of england. south—east wales. a few showers north and west with mist and fog around and it means it could be a cooler night tonight. we are not back into the frost levels we've seenin back into the frost levels we've seen in recent nights but temperature is not as high as this morning and then for tuesday, a weather front clearing away to the south—east of sunshine and showers for many. more details throughout the programme. back to you both. see you later. i am relieved. the roads have been a bit icy over the last few days but that was never going to be a problem for an event in liverpool which has become a festive tradition. more than 100 tractors processed through the streets last night decked out in lights, tinsel and the odd inflatable reindeer. it's organised by a local farmer to raise money for good causes. katie barnfield was there to see it. they certainly brought the party. a convoy of christmas tractors driving through the streets of liverpool to bring some cheer to the children of

we haven't had a chance to finish moving, even some of our utility bills haven't been brought over from the previous match, and we even haven't had a chance to take out contents insurance. thames water says loss adjusters have been on site making contact with those affected. it's apologised for the damage caused and says water supplies have now been restored to most properties. police have set up a web page for people to upload pictures and videos of a crush outside the brixton academy last week, which killed a woman. it's hoped it'll give important clues as to how, during a show by afropop artist asake, the crush happened. 33—year—old mother of two rebecca ikumelo, from newham, died from her injuries. two other women in their 20s are in hospital. hanukkah, the jewish festival of light, began last night and will last eight days with menorahs or candelabras being lit each day in homes and public spaces across london.

of football for the third time! for one man and one nation, it meant so much. argentina, winners on penalties. the kick to seal it was simple. but how they got there was extraordinary. it was all set up as the superstar show. france's kylian mbappe against lionel messi. in his fifth world cup and second final, still he found a way to records. a faint touch on his team—mate, a first penalty, and messi's introduction. messi scores. that made him the first man to score in every knockout round. he is the 35—year—old heart of a team he inspires. argentina's second took a nation's breath away. go, go, go, go! goaaal! for 80 minutes, france had been flat. there had been reports of a virus in their camp.

but recovery came with their first spot kick. mbappe dragged them off the canvas and led a bolt from les blues. mbappe gets the return. in a 90—second turnaround, remarkably it was 2—2. paris was ecstatic. buenos aires disbelieving. argentina's 36—year wait would have to go on half an hour. extra time can be slow, but this was enthralling. lloris in the way! was it off the line or over the line? the referee has pointed to the middle and said goal. messi forced it in with 12 minutes to go. for the man who has won it all bar the world cup, it would have felt like a fairy tale. but once again, this match went off script. there is another change around here, a france penalty. mbappe stepped up for his hat—trick, the first man to score one in the final since sir geoff hurst in '66.

france within a bootlength from a win at the end, but emi martinez saved with his feet and set up his platform. a penalty shoot—out. saved by martinez! martinez�*s route here has been through arsenal reserves and oxford united. now his mind games forced france to miss twice. defender gonzalo montiel would finish thejob. it's argentina, and the tears will fall. this was argentina's first world cup in their summer, and the first since the death of diego maradona. the history and the poignancy spilled into the streets. absolutely amazing. i have actually no words to describe this. i had to come to a quiet street to be able to do this interview. i cannot even describe how many people is here. it's such an emotional feeling, it's beautiful. the controversial stage of qatar had its captivating end.

more than 800 players were there at the start, and so many look up to messi. this may well be his last world cup, but with this he had sealed a legacy this sport will remember, in a match it won't forget. joe lynskey, bbc news. it really was an unforgettable match. let's see how some legends of the game reacted to the match. england's1966 hero sir geoff hurst, who until yesterday was the only man to score a hat—trick in a world cup final, congratulated kylian mbappe on matching that record. he said "i've had a great run!" do you reckon he's a bit annoyed? having to share it?— the brazilian great pele wrote that "diego is smiling now" — a reference to the last argentinian captain to lift the world cup, diego maradona, who died two years ago. gary lineker described the match as "glorious. truly glorious. congratulations argentina. you deserved it.

messi deserves it." it was interesting watching gary last night, he was almost silenced by all of the... all of the commentators didn't know what to say by the end. and england's jack grealish spoke for millions of us during that roller—coaster of a game when he tweeted: "wow, what am i seeing?". i think that's right, isn't it? people couldn't believe it. when you have got games which are so hyped, particularly finals, they don't live up particularly finals, they don't live up to it but it had it all.— up to it but it had it all. there was no moment _ up to it but it had it all. there was no moment of, _ up to it but it had it all. there was no moment of, i - up to it but it had it all. there was no moment of, i will- up to it but it had it all. there was no moment of, i will put| up to it but it had it all. there i was no moment of, i will put the kettle on, once he got extra time you were glued to it. i kettle on, once he got extra time you were glued to it.— kettle on, once he got extra time you were glued to it. i missed one ofthe you were glued to it. i missed one of the france _ you were glued to it. i missed one of the france goals _ you were glued to it. i missed one of the france goals because i i you were glued to it. i missed one of the france goals because i had | you were glued to it. i missed one i of the france goals because i had to take the dog out. let's get back down to earth with a bump. the health secretary steve barclay has told unions they need to make sure that life—threatening situations are covered as the uk faces a week of the most disruptive strike action so far this winter. eight different groups of workers, including nurses and ambulance

staff, are set to walk—out in the lead up to christmas, in a row over pay and conditions. our political correspondent iain watson has the latest. what's the address of the emergency? on a visit to an emergency call centre in essex, the the health secretary expressed concerns about wednesday's strike by ambulance crews in england and wales. he says the unions now have to provide greater clarity on what level of cover they will provide on strike days. it's absolutely essential that in terms of the ambulance strikes, we get confirmation from the trade unions that they will prioritise emergency calls, life threatening calls, and ensure that there is sufficient cover for those to protect patient safety. the unions say they will respond to life—threatening emergencies and are discussing detailed plans for cover with ambulance trusts. they also say the strikes could be stopped if the government was willing to talk about pay. what do we want? fair pay! when the health secretary was asked if he'd considered giving nurses a one—off payment, but had been blocked by downing street, he tried to remain tight—lipped but this

did not really sound like a denial. any discussion between the department and the centre is private as part of those regular discussions. health unions say unless ministers move on play, there will be more strikes injanuary and more hospitals will be affected. further strike days will be announced, those will cover longer time periods, and will involve wider groups of staff. christmas is traditionally a time of hope but the prospect of avoiding this week's multiple disputes seems to be every bit as bleak as the winter weather. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. i was just looking i wasjust looking on i was just looking on the i wasjust looking on the bbc i was just looking on the bbc news website, they have got a calendar of all of the different days and strikes. it looks like it is going to be a very difficult week across so many sectors, any chance of any agreements to put off some of these

tracks at least? it’s agreements to put off some of these tracks at least?— tracks at least? it's an extraordinary - tracks at least? it's an extraordinary week, i tracks at least? it's an extraordinary week, if| tracks at least? it's an i extraordinary week, if you tracks at least? it's an - extraordinary week, if you look tracks at least? it's an _ extraordinary week, if you look at it, jon. you have got nurses, paramedics, border force staff, rail staff, and a lot of others all taking strike action. a lot of us are really going to feel the disruption this week. to answer your question directly, it doesn't look a lot to me at all like there are going to be any breakthroughs. we have heard ministers say over the weekend that they feel they have to be really resolute in this, there isn't more money to pay for a bigger pay rise, they don't think, they think it would be irresponsible to give significantly higher pay rises to people in the public sector. in terms of nurses and paramedics, the health secretary once more talks with the unions, but what on the table in those talks is conditions and broader issues, it's not the pay which is the crux of these disputes.

so that said it doesn't look a lot to me at all like we are going to see much movement in the next few days. there is a cobra meeting today, government's emergency committee which is looking at how to mitigate disruption, but it is about mitigation, not striking —— stopping the strikes altogether. there is some concern in government that they don't know for sure what levels of paramedic support will be offered on wednesday during their strike, they want more clarity on what emergency calls will be staffed during that strike. so expect that to be something which is discussed today at the cobra meeting. unions say that will be dealt with on a local basis. the broad point here, we talk about this quite a lot on breakfast, the broad point is not changing. ministers say, we cannot talk about pay because the money is not there and if we did go with big pay rises,

it will make innovation worse. unions are saying, this is all the government's —— it will make inflation worse. the union says is all the governments fault because they have handmade real term cuts and they need to be prepared to talk about it before the strikes will be called off them at the moment it is a stalemate and it's hard to how it ends. . ~ , ., a stalemate and it's hard to how it ends. . ~' , ., , a stalemate and it's hard to how it ends. . ~ y., , . the ukrainian capital kyiv has been hit by more explosions overnight, according to authorities in the city. they say they came under attack from more than 20 drones. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. good morning, hugo. how significant is the damage?— is the damage? good morning, nina. we had an update _ is the damage? good morning, nina. we had an update from _ is the damage? good morning, nina. we had an update from the _ is the damage? good morning, nina. we had an update from the mayor. is the damage? good morning, nina. | we had an update from the mayor who said critical infrastructure was again hit this morning. houses were also hit, he said two people have been injured. we are again seeing these iranian drones being used by

these iranian drones being used by the russians. what is different is attack happened at night, we had the first air attack happened at night, we had the firstair raid attack happened at night, we had the first air raid alert add 2am when people were sleeping. the authorities are saying that the attacks are unlikely to stop, they say that russia has been using winter as a weapon, perhaps trying to demoralise ukrainians as temperatures plummet across the country. it is cold here in kyiv this morning, the sun is coming out but it is —7 degrees. it is cold and it is going to get colder. what ukrainians have been saying is that they are tired, because these frequent attacks need that they have to endure very long blackouts, and they believe the russians, civilians have become the target and president zielinski again last night asked for more air defence capabilities to help protect this country. the thai navy says 31 sailors are missing after a warship carrying

more than 100 crew capsized and sank during a storm. the ship lost power in the gulf of thailand after water flooded its controls. authorities say they have rescued 75 crew and will keep looking for the missing 31. a new law which will force venues to be better prepared against terrorist attacks will be introduced in parliament early next year. it's named after martyn hett, who died in the manchester arena bombing in 2017, and will require venues and local authorities to draw up preventative action plans against terror attacks. it follows a long campaign by martyn's mum, figen murray. he will bejoining us he will be joining us a little he will bejoining us a little bit later on here. == he will be joining us a little bit later on here.— later on here. -- she will be 'oinin: later on here. -- she will be joining us- _ later on here. -- she will be joining us- it _ later on here. -- she will be joining us. it was _ later on here. -- she will be joining us. it was freezing i later on here. -- she will be i joining us. it was freezing last week. this morning, we haven't been outside, it is much milder but much wetter. it's incredible how quickly it has changed. indeed, take out the rain and it is almost like stepping out on holiday.

let's have a look at the temperatures compared to last friday. on the outskirts of oxford we are at 20 degrees warmer than we were. there is some flooding warnings in south—west england with the big thaw, still some snow in the pennines in scotland affecting the higher rates. but we have got rain in southern and western areas, heavy rain in orkney and shetland. brighter moments in the north—east of england and east of wales, plenty of england and east of wales, plenty of cloud around, heavy rain in time through the morning in east anglia and the south—east. clearing at lunchtime but then further bouts of rain before northern ireland and wales will turn drier and brighter. 15 to 16 volt —— wales will turn drier and brighter. 15 to 16 volt -- 50 wales will turn drier and brighter. 15 to 16 volt —— 50 to wales will turn drier and brighter. 15 to 16 volt -- 50 to 60 wales will turn drier and brighter. 15 to 16 volt —— 50 to 60 mile an hour gusts, tempering things but well above average and well above what we have had of late. this evening and overnight more rain to

moving, even some of our utility bills haven't been brought over from the previous match, and we even haven't had a chance to take out contents insurance. thames water says loss adjusters have been on site making contact with those affected. it's apologised for the damage caused and says water supplies have now been restored to most properties. police have set up a web page for people to upload pictures and videos of a crush outside the brixton academy last week, which killed a woman. it's hoped it'll give important clues as to how during a show by afropop artist ashakay the crush happened. 33—year—old mother of two rebecca ikumelo, from newham, died from her injuries. two other women in their 20s are in hospital. hannukha — thejewish festival of light — began last night and will last eight days with menorahs or candelabras being lit each day in homes and public spaces across london. it's a time of celebration but in the words of a rabbi in ealing the occasion is about more than just lighting candles it is about creating light into the outside world.

let's take a look at the tubes now. a few issues to tell you about. part closure — bakerloo and overground in north west london. minor delays on the jubilee minor delays on thejubilee line because of train cancellations this morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a very different start this morning compared to the last week or so. it is significantly milder. night time temperature stayed in double figures. also today we are going to see some outbreaks of rain. the breeze is a south south—westerly breeze pushing in these outbreaks of rain. some of those could be quite heavy but it's also bringing the milder air. temperatures today reaching 14 celsius. so a huge leap in daytime temperatures compared to the last week or so. overnight it stays breezy, we've got further outbreaks of rain and the temperature remains mild overnight as well. again in double figures, the minimum being ten celsius. for tuesday, another front will move through bringing spells of rain, still pretty breezy but as we head through the afternoon the rain will start to clear out of the way and we'll start to see some sunshine

developing once the cloud clears too. temperatures tomorrow, again mild looking at a maximum of 13 celsius. as we head further through the week it's going to stay unsettled but it is going to stay very mild. night—time temperatures, frost free, daytime temperatures in double figures. that's it. we're back in an hour. bye bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. good morning, everybody. the week before christmas. i'm afraid we are talking about strikes. let's return now to the looming strikes which are set to cause serious disruption in the run—up to christmas. we'll focus on the health service after eight but let's look now at travel by road, rail and air, which will all be affected. rail and bus workers will continue their industrial action this week,

with the rmt and some bus staff striking from christmas eve. from thursday, some national highways traffic officers working in london and the south—east of england will stop work until after christmas. it's a rather bleak advent calendar, this, isn't it? and from friday, border force staff begin a four—day strike, with significant disruption expected at major airports. a knock on for a lot of people already cancelling plans. sue ashley is going to miss out on a long—awaited trip to london because of train strikes. we are unable now to go to london, cancelled three times birthday present due to covid, infections, we have got a hotel and a restaurant booked and we are going to miss both things because we can't get there. everybody is entitled to strike and

i understand all that side of things, but from our point of view, the commuters who they need, it is affecting us and we are running at a few hundred pounds loss of both the restaurant and the hotel because both are non—refundable and aren't able to be booked again. that both are non-refundable and aren't able to be booked again.— able to be booked again. that is a stinuer able to be booked again. that is a stinger when _ able to be booked again. that is a stinger when you _ able to be booked again. that is a stinger when you can't _ able to be booked again. that is a stinger when you can't get - able to be booked again. that is a stinger when you can't get your. stinger when you can't get your money back. a sense of frustration. lots of you have been getting in touch with breakfast over the last couple of days. and julian gold is worried his daughter won't make it home for christmas because her shift finishes after the rail strike begins. i'm broadly supportive of the strike — i'm broadly supportive of the strike it _ i'm broadly supportive of the strike. it does make me question who the strikes _ strike. it does make me question who the strikes are meant to be hurting, if they— the strikes are meant to be hurting, if they start — the strikes are meant to be hurting, if they start to hurt ordinary families— if they start to hurt ordinary families at christmas time rather than the — families at christmas time rather than the people who are perhaps more key and _ than the people who are perhaps more key and in _ than the people who are perhaps more key and in a _ than the people who are perhaps more key and in a position to do something about this strike. we think— something about this strike. we think it — something about this strike. we think it can work out but there is a

disruption so we've got problems between london and stevenage on the east coast main line and then the outer reaches of south western railways in dorset, wiltshire, hampshire, problems with high wind and speed restrictions but that's what you kind of expected this time of year. you have four days to get to your destination, please try and get there by thursday night because, sorry friday night, because on saturday, when you have got the christmas eve strike by network rail, although the strike doesn't begin until 6pm officially, rail companies are cancelling things. to give you some idea, lner, from edinburgh to newcastle, and london, the last train on christmas eve is at eight o'clock in the morning. and that's being repeated right across the country. if you travel in the next four days it will be great.

friday the 23rd is going to be a really busy day, so try to avoid that. and then, the strike carries on into the 27th of december. it's going to completely wipe out all eurostar trains on boxing day, 43 trains, more than 20,000 people found out over the weekend their trains had been cancelled because of this. when things start getting back to normal, late morning on the 27th, you are into festive engineering works which always happens, so big problems at liverpool street to east anglia. lots of work on various parts of the west coast main line and lots of disruption around york. 50 then those finishing 2nd of so then those finishing 2nd of january and we're onto the next round of national rail strikes. so if you want to have a trouble—free journey, journey, try to get it done before friday or after the 8th of january. before friday or after the 8th of janua . ._ before friday or after the 8th of janua . , , . , january. even friday will be really busy because _ january. even friday will be really busy because people _ january. even friday will be really busy because people will - january. even friday will be really busy because people will be - january. even friday will be really. busy because people will be dodging

peak times, it will be worthwhile. chris rea never sang about this. some people can avoid peak time but others can't. people and shift work for example. the front page of the times this morning, a warning about borderfor times this morning, a warning about border for strikes, times this morning, a warning about borderfor strikes, some times this morning, a warning about border for strikes, some airports tried to wreak havoc is the headline. warnings you might have to stay on your plane if you arrive in the uk for some time as they sift through immigration.— the uk for some time as they sift through immigration. yes, the pcs union, members _ through immigration. yes, the pcs union, members of— through immigration. yes, the pcs union, members of the _ through immigration. yes, the pcs union, members of the uk - through immigration. yes, the pcs union, members of the uk borderl union, members of the uk border force and six uk airports are going on strike. heathrow, gatwick, manchester, birmingham, cardiff and glasgow. bake airports. the biggest three in the uk indeed. if you're flying from anywhere else, don't worry. you won't be affected. —— big airports. here's the scenario everybody is worried about. the first wave of flights, and i checked, eight nations ten airports, their busiest day is going to be for departures on friday. people coming

in. heathrow has 50 flights from around the world before seven o'clock in the morning. that's over 10,000 people. and if they all experience slow processing going through immigration, then you might have to have people held on planes. if that happens, the departing passengers can't get on the plains and if that happens then you get delays, diversions and cancellations. that's what everybody is worried about, so if you have a passport, if you possibly can, and this doesn't work for families, use the e gate, and the airport, gatwick in particular, are saying don't wear a hat, don't wear glasses, don't have earphones in because that could slow down your process through the gate. it’s slow down your process through the ate. �* , , ., slow down your process through the ate, �*, , ., gate. it's so frustrating when someone _ gate. it's so frustrating when someone hasn't _ gate. it's so frustrating when someone hasn't taken - gate. it's so frustrating when someone hasn't taken the i gate. it's so frustrating when l someone hasn't taken the bits gate. it's so frustrating when - someone hasn't taken the bits and bobs. , , ., , someone hasn't taken the bits and bobs. , ,~ . bobs. just to be absolutely clear, heathrow says — bobs. just to be absolutely clear, heathrow says all _ bobs. just to be absolutely clear, heathrow says all departing - heathrow says all departing passengers will travel as normal and there could be hiccups with arriving passengers. gatwick says it's going to be fine, manchester is already

really good page to look at because it's notjust really good page to look at because it's not just travel. really good page to look at because it's notjust travel. we are also looking ahead to the nurses strike and ambulance workers on strike this week. it's going to be massive. massive ramifications for the nhs. the weather is looking better. don't take my word for it but listen to someone who knows. good morning, yes, not so icy on the road this week, but it could be colder later in the week but it will be wind and rain at times which could slow down your journey across country. certainly keeping across the forecast here and on the bbc weather app, but for today, what a difference it feels almost tropical out there compared with the end of last week and temperatures the moment across the uk are well into double figures. for some, over 20 celsius warmer than the exact same time on friday. it doesn't mean there's lots of sunshine around to go with it. there will be a bit of

brightness to the east of wales, north—east england and scotland but outbreaks of rain for many particularly in east anglia, the south—east of the channel islands, and further showers coming through. outbreaks of rain will come throughout the day. northern ireland, wales, finishing the day brightest of all. it's pretty windy out there with wind touching gale force for many, 50—60 miles an hour. that will temper the feel somewhat but considering the stage in december we should be 6—9, well above that. 14—15. overnight, rain again for the south and east are leading to some minor flooding for some. clearskies leading to some minor flooding for some. clear skies to the north and west. one or two showers but nowhere nearas west. one or two showers but nowhere near as mild as the nightjust gone with temperatures dropping back into low single figures in one or two rural spots. the exception being east anglia and the south—east. tuesday, low pressure with us but shifted positions it means the air is coming in from the west so it won't be quite as mild as today. weather fronts but outbreaks of rain

across east anglia and the south—east. slowly brightening up in the channel islands. a lot more sunshine tomorrow compared to today. blessed rate of the north and west where we will see showers are times that many of you will get through the day largely dry. temperatures, 7-13. still the day largely dry. temperatures, 7—13. still above where we should be for this stage of the year. as we go into wednesday, that brighter theme continues force in central areas but it looks like we'll see some more cloud and rain across southern england and wales. showers are wintry in northern scotland on the hills and there's a chance things will turn a bit colder towards the end of the week and into christmas weekend. we will keep you updated. thank you. monday morning and we are all still recovering from the football. exhausting. so much adrenaline. it was a properfinal. i think it stands up with one of the greats. any sport but the football world cup final, the two best players, lionel

messi and mbappe, there was a worry would it live up to expectations and for 80 minutes it was an light match and then a kata petals —— catapulted into something amazing. the one trophy which eluded lionel messi. he's got his own little step there, i see. he's got his own special everything. in a way will get accused of only talking about him but you saw what it meant to his team—mates and the fans, and people backin team—mates and the fans, and people back in argentina for a player widely regarded as the greatest of all time or at least one of the greatest of all time. he got his hands on the world cup. the match started with his goal, a penalty and then they doubled their lead. have a look at this. one of the great girls of any world cup final. argentina just six catches eventually seeing mcallister playing in his former

team player maria. angel di maria who fired first time past spurs captain hugo lloris brillianty. argenitina held that lead until the 80th minute, but the match turned when kylian mbappe scored a penalty. and barely a minute later, after being outplayed virtually all match somehow france found themselves level. mbappe played a one—two with substitute marcus thuram before smashing a brilliant volley past emi martinez and suddenly all the momentum was with them. two all after 90 minutes, messi and mbappe would score again in extra time, with the match decided on penalties. and in the shoot—out it was argentina that held their nerve. this is gonzalo montiel to win it. that's three world cup titles for argentina and moves them fourth behind brazil, germany and italy and crown surely one of the most dramatic nights in world cup history. tea rs, tears, emotion. these are the pictures the world was waiting to see. lionel messi at 35 with his hands on the one trophy that was missing from his collection. emulating maradona in guiding his

country to world cup glory. taking all of that in for us in doha was arlene foster who joins us now. we have seen —— arlene olly foster is in doha for us. olly, we've seen the epic party in buenos aires. how did they celebrate in qatar, and what's it like there now? it's quieter. i can see a few very tired argentina _ it's quieter. i can see a few very tired argentina fans _ it's quieter. i can see a few very tired argentina fans around - it's quieter. i can see a few veryi tired argentina fans around me. it's quieter. i can see a few very - tired argentina fans around me. you said it there, it was there lionel messi and mbappe final. the winning penalty were scored by montiel but there argentina players ran to lionel messi and embraced him in a group and i thinkjust lasted forever and it will still be going on now and there was a parade around the stadium as well for all their adoring fans, those who couldn't get in, about 60,000 inside the stadium there. they fastly add number the

french. you are right. it was a strange old final because argentina were just romping to their third title until the french poster boy mbappe finally woke up. can you imagine scoring a hat—trick in the final? and still being on the losing side? geoff hurst was the last man to do it in 1966 and he tweeted saying well done, my run is over, whatever happens, you have had a great tournament. it has been lionel messi's tournament. the climax of the organisers were not wanted here. we shouldn't have been surprised by the way that final went because that epitomised this tournament for the last four weeks. 50 many twists and turns, shocks and surprises. morocco, but argentina, fairy tales do come true for lionel messi, don't they? do come true for lionel messi, don't the ? ., ., do come true for lionel messi, don't the? ., ., they? you mentioned morocco. japan, south korea. — they? you mentioned morocco. japan, south korea, australia, _ they? you mentioned morocco. japan, south korea, australia, so _ they? you mentioned morocco. japan, south korea, australia, so many - south korea, australia, so many great moments at the world cup on the pitch. off it there are plenty

of talking points so what do you think this world cup will be most remembered for? the think this world cup will be most remembered for?— remembered for? the football, because it _ remembered for? the football, because it has _ remembered for? the football, because it has been _ remembered for? the football, because it has been perfectly . because it has been perfectly executed. the supreme committee in qatar should be very proud of themselves with delivering that but also all the issues we have raised, migrant worker deaths, the fact of this nation criminalises same sex marriage as well, there are big issues with women's rights, and male guardianship, which means women can't make a decision about their own lives. remember, this is a tournament 12 years ago that was awarded to qatar by possibly one of the most corrupt organisations we've ever seen, the most corrupt organisations we've everseen, fifa, the most corrupt organisations we've ever seen, fifa, at the time. jannie infantino inherited qatar and said he hoped the western supporters will have their eyes open to arab culture but at the same time fifa i think will think twice again before handing it to a nation such as this.

0k, handing it to a nation such as this. ok, we will leave it there. thank you. looking back on a historic night. lionel messi and for argentina. is it too early to talk about the next world cup? that's the usa and canada and mexico sharing that tournament but will give argentina a bit of time to enjoy their success at the moment. it's true that there was this cloud over it, the perception that the issues around it would overshadow the football but the football has been incredible. the upsets in the drama around it. it's been a difficult, challenging world cup, and you can't separate those two issues when it comes to on the pitch, so many incredible stories which football fans will be remembering but those issues around quite are hosting the world cup will not go away. absolutely. thank you very much indeed. luke evans has been busy. he's got a new album out, he's the voice of scrooge on the netflix version of a christmas carol, and he plays the lead role in apple's thriller series

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our headlines today. argentina, champions of the world's greatest game! the most controversial of world cups is won in qatar with arguably the greatest final ever. huge crowds celebrate into the night in the argentinian capital buenos aires. it means a lot, it means everything for us. we are just, we are just speechless. this is stunning, i can't believe it, i cannot believe it. and a fairy tale finish for lionel messi. a world cup winner at last. on an unforgettable night where surrounded by family he emulated his hero diego maradona. but it was heartbreak for france and their star kylian mbappe. a week of strike action in the run up to christmas with the coming days are set to be the most disruptive yet. martyn's law, new anti—terrorism rules for venues, will be

introduced in the new year, named after martyn hett, one of those killed in the manchester arena bombing. it is the most commonly used form of transport in the uk and now a new scheme is encouraging more us to take the bus by capping all single fares at £2. i'll have the details. # it's beginning to look a lot like christmas. it certainly is. russell watson and aled jones will have all the festive classics before 9 this morning. it's no longer looking like christmas out there, we have gone from the big freeze to the big thaw. temperature 20 degrees warmer than they were on friday morning. but will it last all the way into christmas? join me for the full forecast here on breakfast.

it's monday the 19th of december. millions of football fans have taken to the streets of argentinian towns and cities to celebrate their world cup victory. to celebrate their the win over france, which was hailed as one of the most thrilling football finals ever, marked the end of a tournament which had been mired in controversy over claims of corruption, the mistreatment of migrant workers, and human rights abuses. joe lynskey reports. the world cup final is the greatest stage in football. this was perhaps the greatest match. it's argentina, kings of football for the third time! for one man and one nation, it meant so much. argentina, winners on penalties. the kick to seal it was simple. but how they got there was extraordinary. it was all set up as the superstar show. france's kylian mbappe against lionel messi. in his fifth world cup and second final, still

he found a way to records. a faint touch on his team—mate, a first penalty, and messi's introduction. messi scores. that made him the first man to score in every knockout round. he is the 35—year—old heart of a team he inspires. argentina's second took a nation's breath away. go, go, go, go! goaaal! for 80 minutes, france had been flat. there had been reports of a virus in their camp. but recovery came with their first spot kick. mbappe dragged them off the canvas and led a bolt from les blues. mbappe gets the return. in a 90—second turnaround, remarkably it was 2—2. paris was ecstatic. buenos aires disbelieving. argentina's 36—year wait would have to go on half an hour. extra time can be slow, but this was enthralling.

lloris in the way! was it off the line or over the line? the referee has pointed to the middle and said goal. messi forced it in with 12 minutes to go. for the man who has won it all bar the world cup, it would have felt like a fairy tale. but once again, this match went off script. there is another change around here, a france penalty. mbappe stepped up for his hat—trick, the first man to score one in the final since sir geoff hurst in '66. france within a bootlength from a win at the end, but emi martinez saved with his feet and set up his platform. a penalty shoot—out. saved by martinez! martinez�*s route here has been through arsenal reserves and oxford united. now his mind games forced france to miss twice. defender gonzalo montiel would finish thejob. it's argentina, and

the tears will fall. this was argentina's first world cup in their summer, and the first since the death of diego maradona. the history and the poignancy spilled into the streets. absolutely amazing. i have actually no words to describe this. i had to come to a quiet street to be able to do this interview. i cannot even describe how many people is here. it's such an emotional feeling, it's beautiful. the controversial stage of qatar had its captivating end. more than 800 players were there at the start, and so many look up to messi. this may well be his last world cup, but with this he had sealed a legacy this sport will remember, in a match it won't forget. joe lynskey, bbc news. i don't think any of us will forget

roller—coaster of a game when he tweeted: "wow, what am i seeing?" it was a lock to take in. —— lots are taken. we will have more reflections on the football of the programme goes on. but let's go back to serious matters at home. the health secretary steve barclay has told unions they need to make sure that life—threatening situations are covered as the uk faces a week of the most disruptive strike action so far this winter. eight different groups of workers, including nurses and ambulance staff, are set to walk—out in the lead up to christmas, in a row over pay and conditions. our political correspondent iain watson has the latest. what's the address of the emergency? on a visit to an emergency call centre in essex, the health secretary expressed concerns about wednesday's strike by ambulance crews in england and wales. he says the unions now have to provide greater clarity on what level of cover they will provide on strike days. it's absolutely essential that in terms of the ambulance strikes, we get confirmation from the trade unions that they will

prioritise emergency calls, life threatening calls, and ensure that there is sufficient cover for those to protect patient safety. the unions say they will respond to life—threatening emergencies and are discussing detailed plans for cover with ambulance trusts. they also say the strikes could be stopped if the government was willing to talk about pay. what do we want? fair pay! when the health secretary was asked if he'd considered giving nurses a one—off payment, but had been blocked by downing street, he tried to remain tight—lipped but this did not really sound like a denial. any discussion between the department and the centre is private as part of those regular discussions. health unions say unless ministers move on play, there will be more strikes injanuary and more hospitals will be affected. further strike days will be announced, those will cover longer time periods, and will involve wider

groups of staff. christmas is traditionally a time of hope but the prospect of avoiding this week's multiple disputes seems to be every bit as bleak as the winter weather. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. the weather isn't great, matt has the forecast later but let's have a look at the forecast for these strikes. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. it looks like a challenging week in many different sectors from the nhs to transport, any chance any of these strikes could be called off and we get some kind of last—minute agreement before christmas? and we get some kind of last-minute agreement before christmas? morning, jon. it's agreement before christmas? morning, jon- it's worth — agreement before christmas? morning, jon. it's worth pointing _ agreement before christmas? morning, jon. it's worth pointing out _ agreement before christmas? morning, jon. it's worth pointing out that - jon. it's worth pointing out that negotiations on these strikes are often between different groups. 50 with rail, it's the employers, and the unions, when it comes to nurses and ambulance staff it is the government because it is the employer. with the union. so it's not all universal. i've got to say, in the once the government is

directly involved with, i don't think there is much prospect of a breakthrough at the moment. the health secretary steve barclay said that he wanted to meet the royal couege that he wanted to meet the royal college of nursing to talk about the nurses strike again, but when he's in that meeting, he doesn't want to talk about pay, he wants to talk about conditions and other non—pay issues as government insiders call them. because the union is so adamant that pay is a big thing that needs to be on the table, it's really hard to see at the moment how there is going to be any breakthrough on this. there is a meeting of the government's cobra committee which is going to talk about mitigating some of the disruption we see this week, but it is about mitigation, not about stopping these strikes altogether. as you are hearing, there is some concern about the level of emergency care which is on offer from

ambulance workers on wednesday. the government wants more detail on what exact calls ambulance workers will be prepared to respond to. so expect to hear a bit more about that today, may be some more on the specifics. but we keep talking about this on breakfast, the fundamentals are difficult. unions say the government will not budge and it's their fault because they are not offering enough money. the government says there isn't more money near there, and trying to get inflation down, you need to be responsible when we are coming to pay rises so for the moment it is stuck.— coming to pay rises so for the moment it is stuck. thank you, for now. the thai navy says 31 sailors are missing after a warship carrying more than 100 crew capsized and sank during a storm. the ship lost power in the gulf of thailand after water flooded its controls. authorities say they have rescued 75 crew and will keep looking for the missing 31. inquests into the deaths of four boys who fell into an icy lake in solihull will be opened today.

the boys, who were aged six, eight, ten and 11, were on the ice in babbs mill park when it gave way last sunday. the inquests will be opened by the solihull coroner. a memorial service to celebrate the life of scottish rugby legend doddie weir will take place this afternoon. doddie died last month, aged 52, from motor neurone disease. the service will be held at melrose parish church, in the scottish borders, and shown on screens at melrose rugby club, where doddie played for many years. sets to be a great celebration of life. it sets to be a great celebration of life. . . , , �* , sets to be a great celebration of life. . . , , �*, . . life. it certainly is. let's have a look at the _ life. it certainly is. let's have a look at the weather _ life. it certainly is. let's have a look at the weather now. it i life. it certainly is. let's have a look at the weather now. it is i life. it certainly is. let's have a i look at the weather now. it is all change, matt. it is, and quite some change as well. good morning. look at the big temperature difference between the friday morning commute and today, over 20 celsius warmer in some places. a completely different feel

to things, it looks different as well, gone are the crisp blue skies and instead we have got heavy rain working through the channel into east anglia. outbreaks in the west through the day. a bit of brightness in eastern wales, north—east england and scotland but even here we will see cloud and a bit of rain at times. later on, northern ireland and wales should see something brighter to see the day out. wherever you are it is going to be a blustery day, windows at their strongest around the hills and coasts in the south—west, 60 miles an hour, which tempers the feel of things a little bit. with the southerly winds, we should be six to 9 degrees at this point, and we will be well above that. tonight will be fresh, rain in the south and east of england which could be heavy with minor flooding as the rainfall total totals top up. it will not feel as

good morning, a very busy week ahead. and concerns from the health secretary, that urgent care will not be covered, do you share those concerns? l be covered, do you share those concerns?— be covered, do you share those concerns? ~' , ., concerns? i think the first thing to sa is that concerns? i think the first thing to say is that trust _ concerns? i think the first thing to say is that trust leaders _ concerns? i think the first thing to say is that trust leaders across i say is that trust leaders across both hospitals and ambulance services will be doing everything that they can to put in place services that keep patients and the public safe as possible. it's really important that people do remember that. and that 999 calls which affect life and limb, there's real emergencies, will be answered, that's the most important thing to say. however it's worth remembering that this is going to be a very challenging a disrupted week, not only because we have the ambulance service coming out on strike across nearly every region but also because we have got these sequential strikes, so nurses, industrial action on tuesday, and then

ambulance services on wednesday. and i think one will impact the other. it is going to be a challenging week. but we do know that there have been those negotiations nationally and locally between ambulance services and trust leaders, to work out what should be exempted from strike action. find out what should be exempted from strike action-— strike action. and there is some concern about _ strike action. and there is some concern about people _ strike action. and there is some concern about people getting i strike action. and there is some | concern about people getting out strike action. and there is some i concern about people getting out of hospital. on friday the government ordered hospitals to get patients home in order to prevent overcrowding, telling hospital managers to do so. the telegraph this morning reporting that owing to the nurse and ambulance strikes, elderly patients will be stuck in hospital over the christmas period. are you hearing that they are managing to get patients out to free up managing to get patients out to free up beds? l managing to get patients out to free u- beds? ~ , ., ., managing to get patients out to free u- beds? ,, , ., ., . , managing to get patients out to free u- beds? ,, , . , ., up beds? i think it is too early to sa the up beds? i think it is too early to say the state _ up beds? i think it is too early to say the state as _ up beds? i think it is too early to say the state as that. _ up beds? i think it is too early to say the state as that. we - up beds? i think it is too early to say the state as that. we have i up beds? i think it is too early to i say the state as that. we have still around 13,000 patients in hospital who should not be there, who should be in another setting. discharging patients is a particular challenge

for the nhs at the best of time. i think we can expect the knock—on effect there. there is always as much effort as possible in the run—up to christmas to discharge patients, because obviously everyone wants people to spend christmas where they would rather be, or at least outside of a hospital setting. because it's not the best place to be if you are medically fit. we do know that there are going to be some challenges here with strike action on tuesday and wednesday from different parts of the nhs, and also the extreme challenges we have got in social care at the moment.

that sort of talk can wait untiljanuary, but energy diets are different matter. back in september, our climate editorjustin rowlatt met jade and her son eric and he put them on a so—called energy diet. the idea was to see how much they could reduce their bills and carbon footprint with some simple tips. nowjustin's been back to see how they got on. meetjade and her seven—year—old son eric. they live in gloucester and, like the rest of us, jade is worried about soaring energy prices. so she has agreed to an experiment. we are putting jade and eric on an energy diet to see how much money they can save and how much they can reduce their impact on the climate along the way. right, jade, let's start with heating because that is the biggest user of energy in your home and the first thing we are going to do is turn this down to 20 or 18? 20. keep it on 20 and next,

i'm going to look at your boiler. we've turned the boiler temperature down too. i'm going to turn this down just a notch and see how that works for you. all the way down below one. and the radiators in all the bedrooms. eric got an extra duvet, jade has got an electric blanket. so, jade, the idea is you keep this area, the lounge and the kitchen warm. keep that door shut. and then how about this, if you're watching telly with eric in the evening you can turn the heating down and maybe use a blanket? ok, we will give it a try. excellent. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in the cup. we had some other tips too, always use the microwave when you can, it's much more efficient. lights out when you're not in the room, and... your washing machine can run at 30 not 40. # oh, the weather

outside is frightful... it is two months later and just look at the weather, it's absolutely freezing. so what i want to know is how are jade and eric getting on? eric! sunday the 11th of december, and we have had loads of snow. jade has been recording a video diary. it's pretty cold. just stood near the door. just finished work, had a really busy day, and i'm about to go home. i would love to have a really nice hot bubble bath just to help me chill out this evening. but obviously on my energy diet i'm not allowed to do that, so i guess i will be going home, having a quick shower. we've just been out in the snow to eric's birthday party. we have just got back and he's opening his presents and i'm sat with my blanket and the door closed.

just making myself a coffee. measured the water. i find that in the lounge where we keep the door shut it's ok, especially because we have layers on, and our blankets, but when you come out into the hall it's really chilly so it's not fun when it's time to go to bed. ready? so how have jade and eric done? what has the hardest thing been? i think being a bit chilly in the evenings. yeah. so i'vejust gone to bed early. is that what you've done? so we've actually changed your lifestyle? yeah, i think i find it harder than eric with the cold. yeah. you haven't had to use your electric blanket, have you? no, i haven't. are you quite pleased you are managing without the heating? yeah, i like it. you like it? why? i like being cold. but it turns outjade didn't always follow the rules with the thermostat.

she turned it over 20 a bit, the heating. once! so i turned it down to 19. you have outed her! you have exposed her! you did sneak it up once? only once! wasn't it only once? yeah. and i got told off. really? wow! and that's not all. yesterday i did have one bath. as a treat. oh,jade! right, jade, eric, this is the moment of truth. jade has been on our energy diet for 11 weeks and she has cut her total energy use by 45%. mostly by saving on gas for heating. with the energy price rises, her bills would have gone up by 60%, but with the energy she has saved and the support from the government,

her monthly payment is now 45% less than it was last year. and she has reduced her carbon footprint too, cutting her household emissions by 223 kilograms of carbon dioxide, that's about the same as a one—way flight to tenerife. i'm really surprised actually. i didn't think it would have that much of an impact. so here's the big question. will they stick with our energy diet? yeah, i like it. i would do it. i think i would keep most things. you've got no choice! so i think, what do you reckon, guys, you can turn the heating up for christmas? yes, i think 21 degrees. no! # let it snow...

she is definitely still sneaking up a bit early. eric is having none of it, he has hardcore.— it, he has hardcore. really encouraging _ it, he has hardcore. really encouraging when - it, he has hardcore. really encouraging when you i it, he has hardcore. really encouraging when you see \ it, he has hardcore. really- encouraging when you see the reduction in carbon emissions by making those tweaks, a flight to tenerife is significant. qe’s making those tweaks, a flight to tenerife is significant.— tenerife is significant. 45% less ener: , tenerife is significant. 45% less energy. that — tenerife is significant. 45% less energy. that is _ tenerife is significant. 45% less energy, that is remarkable. - we're on bbc one until quarter—past nine this morning, then it's time for morning live. kym and gethin can tell us what they've got lined up. we are ready for you this morning! coming up on morning live. with millions of people unable to heat their homes this christmas, we're shining a light on families taking health and safety risks by using candles to heat rooms and discover how warm banks are saving lives. plus, with only 12 days left of 2022, dr xand is looking back at the year's big health stories that continue to dominate the headlines. with 19 recorded deaths from strap

a... i'll be reminding you of the symptoms to watch for as well as talking about how dame deborahjames' legacy continues to inspire a record number of people to get checked for bowel cancer. also today, former sprinter iwan thomas is sharing why he had a one track mind when returning to the celebrity masterchef kitchen for the christmas special and why his unusual festive sauce has caused quite a stir. i'll give you a hint, it involves ketchup and cranberry sauce! were not sure about that one. not sure about — were not sure about that one. not sure about that concoction! there's never too many cooks in our kitchen, chef briony may williams is showing us how to make her show—stopping raspberry and ginger trifle — which costs just 67 pence per serving. so get cranberry sauce, that is more like it! and rudolph's busy getting ready for christmas so we're meeting his pal reuben instead, as we go dancing and prancing live at animal park. see you at 9:15. did you enjoy the strictly final?

what you see here is that all of our belongings are completely ruined. we haven't even had a chance to finish unpacking our boxes. we haven't had a chance to finish moving, even some of our utility bills haven't been brought over from the previous match, and we even haven't had a chance to take out contents insurance. thames water says loss adjusters have been on site making contact with those affected. it's apologised for the damage caused and says water supplies have now been restored to most properties. police have set up a webpage for people to upload pictures and videos of a crush outside the brixton academy last week, which killed a woman. it's hoped it'll give important clues as to how, during a show by afropop artist ashakay, the crush happened. 33—year—old mother of two rebecca ikumelo, from newham, died from her injuries. two other women in their 20s are in hospital. hannukha — the jewish festival of light — began last night

and will last eight days with menorahs or candelabras being [it each day in homes and public spaces across london. it's a time of celebration but in the words of a rabbi in eating, the occasion is about more than just lighting candles, it is about creating light into the outside world. let's take a look at the tubes now. part closure — bakerloo and overground in north west london. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a very different start this morning compared to the last week or so. it is significantly milder. night time temperature stayed in double figures. also today we are going to see some outbreaks of rain. the breeze is a south south—westerly breeze pushing in these outbreaks of rain. some of those could be quite heavy but it's also bringing the milder air.

temperatures today reaching iii celsius. so a huge leap in daytime temperatures compared to the last week or so. overnight it stays breezy, we've got further outbreaks of rain and the temperature remains mild overnight as well. again in double figures, the minimum being ten celsius. for tuesday, another front will move through bringing spells of rain, still pretty breezy but as we head through the afternoon the rain will start to clear out of the way and we'll start to see some sunshine developing once the cloud clears too. temperatures tomorrow, again mild looking at a maximum of 13 celsius. as we head further through the week it's going to stay unsettled but it is going to stay very mild. night—time temperatures, frost free, daytime temperatures in double figures. that's it. we're back in half an hour. bye bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. a new law which will force venues

to be better prepared for dealing with terrorist attacks will be introduced in parliament early next year. named after martyn hett, who was killed in the manchester arena bombing, it will also ensure that local authorities have preventative action plans in place. robin brant reports. 29—year—old martyn hett was among 22 people who were killed in the manchester arena attack. since then, his mum has campaigned for change. change to prevent more attacks, and change to make sure venues, business and local authorities are better prepared to deal with terrorism. we will observe a minutes silence to remember those who were killed in the arena attack. the inquiry into the attack has exposed, in harrowing detail, the failings on that night. there were significant failings by a number of organisations in preparation and training for an emergency such as this and in their actions

on the night of the attack. after a long, drawn—out process, the government has now confirmed a draft law will be published in the early spring. smaller venues holding fewer than 100 people will have to be better prepared, with training on simple measures like locking doors and first aid. bigger venues holding more than 800 people, like the manchester arena, will need staff to be more vigilant, and systems to allow better consideration of security. industry bodies have welcomed the plan but have raised some concerns about extra cost and staffing. with cost inflation at the moment, we've got to be very conscious of some of these businesses and their financial position. some of the bigger spaces already are working towards ensuring that they are compliant. as you can appreciate, we can't be completely compliant until we've got the full details. robin brant, bbc news. martyn hett�*s mum, figen murray, joins us now.

not costly at all, actually, virtually no cost, because we are asking those 100 plus venues train their staff in the free of charge e—learning which is already available for any adult in this country on the protect uk app. anybody can do it. we are asking people to get your staff to do that training and that raises awareness of what to do in a terrorist attack, what to look out for, and just make you far more alert to dangers. it’s you far more alert to dangers. it's uuite you far more alert to dangers. it's quite easy — you far more alert to dangers. it's quite easy to put into place. totally. quite easy to put into place. totall . ~ ., , ., totally. what comes next for you because you've — totally. what comes next for you because you've gone _ totally. what comes next for you because you've gone from - totally. what comes next for you because you've gone from a - totally. what comes next for you . because you've gone from a grieving parent to somebody with an encyclopaedic knowledge of health and safety regulations? once this is over the line, will you carry on campaigning?! over the line, will you carry on campaigning?— over the line, will you carry on camaiaunin ? ~' ., campaigning? i think then the real work starts — campaigning? i think then the real work starts because, _ campaigning? i think then the real work starts because, with - campaigning? i think then the real work starts because, with any - work starts because, with any change, its not straightforward, is it? these are changes we are asking for but obviously it will take time to embed any change, so we will be

katie barnfield was there to see it. horns honk. they certainly brought the party. a convoy of christmas tractors driving through the streets of liverpool to bring some cheer to the children of alderhey hospital. very good. what did you think of the tractors? did you like the lights? yeah. kieran on his wheelchair with a big tractor on it. oh, so you love tractors? he loves tractors. did you see the green lights? yes, they were my favourite. that was your favourite. the convoy is the brainchild of farmer olly harrison. i visited alderhey hospital once and there were some sick children in there at christmas and i thought it's rubbish and what can we do to make it better? i saw it done on the isle of man a few years ago and i thought we can do it bigger and better over here because there's more tractors and that's what we're doing. a lot of time has gone into it. this has got 4,000 lights on it. this is now the third year olly�*s organised the convoy and it takes

weeks to plan the route and decorate the tractors. each year it raises tens of thousands in donations for alderhey and this time with more tractors than ever taking part, olly has set the biggest target yet. this year i want to raise 100,000 if possible. they want to build a new ward at the children's hospital, so it's to go towards that really and they need to raise three million so if we could raise 100,000, we're a little bit there, aren't we? farmers have come from all around the country to drive the tractors and it takes a bit of skill as i found out. oh my goodness! ooh, god! there are 110 of these tractors taking part this year and they are decked out with everything from fairy lights to snow machines and even air horns. horns honk. we probably put about i don't know five hours on each tractor getting the lights ready. that inflatable, what is it? father christmas in a truck and i thought it looks like a tractor so, you know, close enough. we've got two big

snow cannons on here. we've got a dj booth. we've got lights that are going up to the skies, skyscraper lights. we've got lights that shine off the building. it's a pretty impressive feat to get this all set up. yes, considering we only started last night at tea—time and my wife had a baby yesterday. did she really? yeah. we had to get going last night. lights on, giant snowmen inflated, it was time to set off. horns honk. and after an hour driving to liverpool, the arrival at alderhey met by some very excited spectators. it cheered them up from being in the ward all the time. it was a shock to see the way they were dancing and singing but he wasjust happy. i didn't expect it. i did have plans to go back home to have christmas, i but that's not going to happen. they said we've got to be here for christmas. - i thought bring him down because it is first christmas so we thought we'd do a good present for him and he loved it and was giggling away smiling.

so far they are on track to beat the £65,000 they raised last year to make a difference to the lives of these children, notjust at christmas, but all year round. katie barnfield, bbc news, liverpool. they don't do it by heart, do they? good work by the community there. almost as frantic as it was on the streets of when azeris last night. oh my goodness, nobody missed a match last night, but it was incredible. for me, it was the extra time. it was almost like it was fine and then 80 minutes, 90 minutes, extra time, so it ramped up. if you're going to write a script for a world cup final you will take things out in the end because people will say it's not believable. after 80 minutes, you think argentina are coasting is going to happen for

messi and then mbappe happened and then 2—2, then 3—3 and off the scale in terms of the drama of the stakes being that high and there were so many stories playing out. martinez, controversial figure, many stories playing out. martinez, controversialfigure, but has been instrumental to argentina's success. mcallister, as well, but it's all about my no messy. it was billed as the messi vs mbappe final and it lived up to that billing. the latter scoring a hat—trick. this goal was the pick of the bunch. france were 2—0 down, having been virtually outplayed all match, ten minutes from time mbappe scored one and barely a minute later made it two all here. the momentum was with france and their talisman at this point. he scored earlier on. but lionel messi wasn't done. this was ultimately his night and in extra time he made the breakthrough, in the 108th minute tucking home the rebound for his seventh goal of the finals. it looked like argentina had won the match but mbappe's penalty took the game to a shoot—out which argentina won.

messi with that fist pump all night long, sending the argentina fans wild. olly foster is in doha for us where it's the day after the night before. olly, how are people reflecting on the final there? well, everybody in an argentina shirt smiling, just getting a few last—minute souvenirs, but not as great as souvenir as lionel messi has in his hands taken back to argentina. they left early, had a parade outside the stadium, a sight to behold, goodness knows what they will find on their return to buenos aires. with me from when azeris is agustin who was at the final last night. it wasn'tjust agustin who was at the final last night. it wasn't just a agustin who was at the final last night. it wasn'tjust a final, you are there from the very start, you've been to all seven argentina matches. starting with a saudi arabia defeat. my word, what a ride you have been on for the last month. it was incredible. we started

wasn'tjust world doing their bit as well, so it wasn't just about europe world doing their bit as well, so it wasn'tjust about europe and south america. morocco, tunisia, japan, saudi arabia with that result they got, australia too. we will see more teams of the next world cup as well, so i'm not saying that domination is about to end anytime soon but there is a sense this is a global world cup and all eyes will on lionel messi. seven ban on tour, four champions league, copa america, la liga crown and our world cup champion as well. that's the one he wanted, that's the one that was missing. what a homecoming that's going to be. that's before the team is even got back, so what's it going to be like when they get back will be incredible. one day it will be ours. i hope so. thank you very much indeed. we've talked many pairings but we are going to talk christmas duos no. there are certain pairings which you just can't beat at this time of year — holly and ivy, mince
