pele has scored. a sporting icon, who made football beautiful. commentator: rivellino centres... described by the brazilian football confederation as the greatest sportsperson of all time. archive: pele, - the 17-year-old wonder. he burst onto the international stage at the world cup in 1958, when he was just 17. he scored six goals in four matches. commentator: in the last minute, it's 5-2 for brazil. _ he'd win the world cup three times, the only player ever to achieve this. in mexico in 1970, his skill, electrifying speed and deadly accuracy were all on display. in a career that spanned two decades, he scored more than 1,000 goals. fans have been gathering outside the stadium in sao paulo that became synonymous with pele. and at the hospital where he died, for some, it's proving too much to bear. translation: pele was part of our life. |

seems like we're losing a family member. who didn't dream of being pele? translation: pele's death transcends the mere - question of being a fan or not. in fact, for the past 40 years, he's really been a worldwide icon. a message posted on pele's twitter account read... his daughter, kellie nascimento wrote... the brazilian star neymar said... and england's world cup winner, sir geoff hurst, said...

last night, wembley�*s arch was lit in the colours of brazil, the colours of pele, a tribute to an icon mirrored in rio de janeiro. we feel a void. we feel sad. but actually, we never lose him. we never lost him. he's forever with us. he's forever with everyone. off the pitch, pele campaigned to improve conditions for the most deprived in society. looking back at his long career, he said he had no regrets. if i have to do every single game again since i was born until now, i would do everything again. and i thank god. pele's great achievements were marked at this year's world cup in qatar, as concern for his health grew. the brazilian government has now declared three days of national mourning to pay tribute

to a national idol. brazil has announced three days of national mourning following the death of the footballing great. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson has sent us this report from outside the hospital in sao paulo where pele died. this is a moment that so many people knew was going to happen but at the same time dreaded of course happening. and now you can see the world's media as well as fans, who have come to pay their respects, have gathered outside the hospital where he died. even the hospital put out a statement saying that they shared in the pain and the suffering that came with the loss of their beloved king of football. i think itjust shows how important he was for so many millions of people, whether you watched him play as a young footballer or you were a younger brazilian, who was told about his phenomenal skills. he united this country and i think that's so important in a country that has been torn apart by partisan

politics these last few years. he didn't get involved in politics. at times he was criticised for not getting involved, but at the same time that meant that he remained a universal icon for so many millions here. the president elect, lula da silva, who takes over from sunday, he said there was no number 10 shirt like him. he really was the king here in brazil. and, of course, this country is now in mourning. as we've been hearing, tributes for pele have been pouring in from around the world. cristiano ronaldo shared this picture and said: "a mere goodbye to the eternal king pele will never be enough to express the pain that is enveloping the whole of the football world right now." french star kylian mbappe also described pele as...

"the king of football", adding "his legacy will never be forgotten". and former president barack 0bama said "pele was one of the greatest to ever to play the beautiful game. and as one of the most recognisable athletes in the world, he understood the power of sports to bring people together." and now to the loss of another icon, as the world of fashion remembers the british designer dame vivienne westwood, who has died at the age of 81. dame vivienne was widely regarded as a pioneer of the punk movement, and her designs were worn by supermodels to royalty. she was also a vocal activist, and championed causes like the environment and animal rights. sarah campbell has this look at her life and career. it contains some flashing images. # i am an antichrist. # i am an anarchist. # don't know what i want but i know how to get it. # i want to destroy...# she gave birth to punk, conquered the catwalk and built a globalfashion empire. a grammarschool girl

from glossop in derbyshire, vivienne westwood was a would—be revolutionary who both shocked and inspired, transforming british fashion. the trousers all come with a little loincloth on the back. everybody wants to know what that's for. it is just a loincloth, it's just a gesture. her empire started here, a shop on london's kings road. she, along with her creative partner malcolm mclaren, dressed the sex pistols and made bondage gear and swastika trousers fashion must—haves. i think it is very sane for young people to be angry. and that is what we were doing, and i wanted this look of an urban guerrilla, and that's what we were after. in the �*80s, she moved from london to the paris catwalks, initially with mclaren, and then on her own. the fashionistas loved her. you have to go where you have to go. you have to do what you have to do, and i certainly don't want to be underground. i want to be at a place the most

focused that i can find. she used traditional fabrics such as harris tweed and designs from the history books. the supermodels of the day wanted to show for her, even when asked to walk in nine—inch platforms. this fall only added to naomi campbell's fame. laughter. the general public found some of her designs somewhat baffling. ms westwood was bemused by the reaction from this television audience in the late �*80s. if they don't stop laughing, i shall tell the next person not to come on. oh, dear. you're not to laugh! so many of her ideas ended up on the high street, it was she who would have the last laugh. and she wasn'tjust passionate about clothing. she regularly used her profile to push causes she supported. this tank would end up outside david cameron's house. i declare war on fracking! ever the rebel, she chose not to wear any knickers while receiving her obe from the queen. that didn't stop her being

made a dame in 2006. when sex and the city's iconic character carrie bradshaw needed a wedding dress, she turned to vivienne westwood. my maxim — if in doubt, dress up. don't ever dress down, you'll be so disappointed. her influence as a designer spanned five decades. she was both a commercial and critical success, managing to rise up the ranks of the establishment without abandoning her antiestablishment credentials. and overnight, tributes have been coming in for dame vivienne westwood. singer boy george tweeted this photo, saying:

the us fashion designer machacobs said he was heartbroken and added: "you never failed to surprise and to shock. rest in peace dear vivienne, although, somehow peace seems like the wrong word to use." and the v&a museum of art, design and performance, in london called her a "true revolutionary and rebellious force in fashion." a third person has been arrested over the death of ellie edwards, who was shot dead at a pub in wallasey on christmas eve. two other people — a 30—year—old man and a 19—year—old woman — are still being questioned. 0ur reporter geeta pendse is in wallasey this morning. just bring us right up to date with the investigation.— just bring us right up to date with the investigation. good morning. it is very much _ the investigation. good morning. it is very much alive _ the investigation. good morning. it is very much alive investigation. i is very much alive investigation. you can still see a police presence here this morning. merseyside police

say they are working relentlessly to try to find the killer of ali edwards and target anyone who might be harbouring them. it was six days since ellie was killed, she died after shots were fired outside the lighthouse pub here in wallasey village on christmas eve. four other men were also injured at the time. the pub was packed full of people, mainly young people enjoying an evening out. this is a developing case. currently police are questioning three people in connection with ellie's death. they have released cctv footage showing the moment one of the suspect was arrested. yesterday police were given more time to question two suspects arrested on boxing day, a 30—year—old man from tranmere was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and a 19—year—old woman arrested on suspicion of

conspiracy to murder. a third person yesterday, at 31—year—old man, also arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. they do not believe ellie was targeted when it came to the shooting, she was enjoying an evening with her sister and friends. a strong message from the police was for anyone who might still have information to come forward. at least 30 children have died in the uk from invasive strep a since september. group a strep bacteria can cause different infections, including the skin infection impetigo, scarlet fever and strep throat and while the majority of cases are relatively mild, sometimes strep can cause a life—threatening invasive infection, when it gets through the body's defences and passes into areas it is not normally found, such as in the blood, lungs or muscles. official files from 2001 show the then prime minister, tony blair, argued for president putin to be given a seat at the international "top table," despite concerns from officials. mr blair thought

it was important for the russian leader to be encouraged to adopt western values. but an internal number ten briefing note highlighted issues, including a resurgence in russian espionage activities and fears he couldn't be trusted. you may remember that earlier this week we had a beautiful dog called snowdrop on the programme, who was looking for a new home. well, we have some good news. after her appearance on breakfast, dogs 4 rescue were inundated with offers to rehome snowdrop — and it seems she's found a new family to take her in after michelle got in touch. the two of them have now met and it looks like they're already firm friends. snowdrop was being used to breed poppies relentlessly when she was

being rescued. so pleased she has found a new home. now the weather with matt. good morning. today will get better for many parts of the country. some brighter conditions later. some of the rain will be especially happy in south—west scotland. a real risk of flooding. the met office has an amber warning out for heavy rain to take us through till lunchtime. as you can see from the forecast chart, the rain is notjust limited thathe. heavy bursts of rain to take it through the next the row is pushing east. significant snow over the mountains in the north of scotland. this rain in the west is pushing east. 0nly part of the story. you can notice wind gusts, 40, 50, 60

miles an hour. when the dan yesterday. the rain is heavy at times and pushing east. the far north of scotland will continue to see outbreaks of rain pushing in. staying fairly windy and chilly as well. on a sunny spells, further south, 12 or 13. a particularly windy spell to come tonight across the far north of scotland with rain, sleet and snow. there could be a temporary touch of frost. milder conditions starting to return from the south with outbreaks of rain. 0n the south with outbreaks of rain. on new year's eve expect rain at times. the big exception as areas around scotland when it will be much colder with the chance of sleet and snow as well. a full full cast coming up for you later on in the programme. back to you both. let's take a look at today's papers. the death of footballing icon pele dominates the papers.

the daily mirror devotes its whole front page to a picture of him after his world cup triumph in mexico in 1970, describing him as a "divine genius who made football beautiful". the sun focuses on tributes to the "king of football" from current and former stars of the game. the paper reports that gary lineker and current france star kylian mbappe were amongst those praising pele. the times reports that the government expects unions will be forced to back down because of the cost of strike action. but senior union figures have criticised the comments, accusing ministers of trying to "sabotage" negotiations. and the daily mail reports that millions of families are "struggling with a growing mountain of personal debt" over the cost of living crisis. the paper says "startling research" has revealed the standard household has an average of £16,200 in "unsecured debt" like loans, overdrafts and credit card borrowing.

it's new year's eve tomorrow, one of the most important nights of the year for many pubs, clubs and other hospitality venues. but with the cost—of—living crisis, and ongoing rail strikes, many businesses are worried a lot of people will stay at home. ben is at a cocktail bar in central london. it has been worrying for some time for the hospitality industry. they hope to make big money on nights like new year's eve. the hope to make big money on nights like new year's eve.— like new year's eve. the cocktail shakers are _ like new year's eve. the cocktail shakers are ready, _ like new year's eve. the cocktail shakers are ready, the _ like new year's eve. the cocktail shakers are ready, the glasses . like new year's eve. the cocktail i shakers are ready, the glasses are lined up, all they need our customers to get the tills ringing. we are in covent garden in central london. venues like this up and down the country are hoping for a busy new year's eve to make up what has been a rather disappointing christmas and festive period, a time when they normally make enough to

see them through the traditionally quieter months ofjanuary and february. let's have a look atjust how tough things had been. it is thought one in three bookings were cancelled over christmas and december. overall that has cost the hospitality industry an estimated £2 billion. may be slightly more in lost takings. some businesses making half of what they usually word in that takings. some businesses making half of what they usually word enactments with the ongoing train strikes as well as the bad weather that we have been seeing. it is thought that something like 400 pubs over the course of the last year have had to shut their doors for good, more than 30 every single month. others are looking at reducing opening hours, making changes like that in order to survive the quieterjanuary and february period. many are saying that without more government support they feared that businesses like

these will go under, resulting in job losses. let's speak to the owner of this bar here is with us this morning. how tough has december and the christmas period being? realize the christmas period being? really tou~h. the christmas period being? really tough- peeple _ the christmas period being? really tough. people have _ the christmas period being? really tough. people have not _ the christmas period being? really tough. people have not been - the christmas period being? really tough. people have not been coming into town _ tough. people have not been coming into town with the rail disruption and leaving earlier, it has really hurt _ and leaving earlier, it has really hurt the — and leaving earlier, it has really hurt the takings.— and leaving earlier, it has really hurtthe takinus. ., , _ ., , . hurt the takings. how busy do expect new year's eve _ hurt the takings. how busy do expect new year's eve to _ hurt the takings. how busy do expect new year's eve to be? _ hurt the takings. how busy do expect new year's eve to be? they - hurt the takings. how busy do expect new year's eve to be? they are - hurt the takings. how busy do expect | new year's eve to be? they are down aaain. new year's eve to be? they are down again- peeple — new year's eve to be? they are down again- peeple are _ new year's eve to be? they are down again. people are losing _ new year's eve to be? they are down again. people are losing faith - new year's eve to be? they are down again. people are losing faith in - again. people are losing faith in the transport system and are worried about— the transport system and are worried about getting home at night. people tend not_ about getting home at night. people tend not to come to london when they have those _ tend not to come to london when they have those problems.— have those problems. when you look at the pandemic— have those problems. when you look at the pandemic and _ have those problems. when you look at the pandemic and the _ have those problems. when you look at the pandemic and the restriction i at the pandemic and the restriction is how much is riding on new year's eve in the period that has led up to it? it eve in the period that has led up to it? , ., , , . eve in the period that has led up to it? , ., , f . . ., it? it is really difficult. we have lost three _ it? it is really difficult. we have lost three christmases, - it? it is really difficult. we have lost three christmases, the - it? it is really difficult. we have - lost three christmases, the pandemic and now_ lost three christmases, the pandemic and now we _ lost three christmases, the pandemic and now we have had disruption and share _ and now we have had disruption and share with _ and now we have had disruption and share with the rail strikes, three years— share with the rail strikes, three years where we had not made money at christmas _ years where we had not made money at christmas and that is crucial for

than ever to taking flight. at the moment, there are only two airworthy sopwith strutters in the world, if the team are successful, this will be the third. 0ur correspondent lorna gordon has been to take a look. these magnificent men and theirflying machine. for more than 20 years, these volunteers have spent much of their spare time in a cold hangar building a world war i plane. tighten that up again. they have dedicated thousands of hours to painstakingly constructing the sopwith strutter and now they are finally fitting the propeller. brian, what's alan doing here? wire locking one bolt to the other one. it's purely a safety device — safety measure. for engineers used to working on more modern aircraft, this was an entirely new challenge. it's completely different. wood and canvas, which i knew nothing about, obviously. but we're getting there. do you guys have a laugh? 0h, every day we insult each other and get into each other.

that's it. it's all part of this thing. yeah, yeah. it's fun. 0h, of course it is — it's great fun. it has to be. great fun and great friends. yes. if you could switch - on the power, please. as the plane was being built, friendships were too. there seems to be a great group of guys here as well. how do you feel about all this? oh, yeah, definitely. i mean, unfortunately, there's some of them passed away in the interim who were, again, really dedicated chaps. and we always keep them in mind. it's a bittersweet time. happy, but memories as well. yes. oh, yes. well, we've always given them credit for what they did. you know, it was quite... i get quite emotional when i think about it, to be honest. this is not a museum piece. they want to fly it eventually, which means wheeling it out into the winter sunshine for a crucial test of its new propeller and engine. that's good. this is massive because the manpower

to build something like this is enormous. it's a modern engine, but the rest of it is built exactly to the drawings, using the same tools, the same principles. it was made with hacksaws and files and planes, and it uses the same nuts and bolts and the same cables. so we haven't changed anything. clear. checks done, the engine has started. the aim to reach full - power for the first time. if they do, they'll go - ahead and fit the wings. there are only two airworthy . sopwith strutters in the world. the team are hoping | this will be the third. very excited. it's... you know, so many people have put so many hours into it. it's very fulfilling. that's music to our ears. really? we waited for many years

to use that lovely noise. to hear that lovely noise. purring beautifully. just a beautiful sound. beautiful sound. lovely to see and lovely to hear. these aviation enthusiasts have already started building a second aircraft and are hoping to attract a younger generation to their work. first, though, this long labour of love will finally take to the air. they're hoping that will happen within the next few months. yes! lorna gordon, bbc news, east lothian. what a moment that will be! fascinating to see that. you can feel the emotion. what a strange thing to see a plane without wings. very obvious. they do need wings, don't they? typically. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle.

london ambulance service is urging people to only call if it's absolutely necessary as it prepares for its busiest time of the year. it's expecting more than 8,000 emergency calls over new year's day — 45% more than usual a typical day before the pandemic. there'll be extra staff in the control room but the advice is to celebrate safely. meanwhile, gatwick airport is preparing for a busy 24 hours with more departures expected over the next day than any other during the festive period. it comes as border force staff continue their strikes across london's airports over pay, jobs and conditions. gatwick says most passengers will remain unaffected. a stately home in hertfordshire, which was once home to henry viii is to open to the public. the owners of ashridge house in berkhamsted want to help meet running costs. so far it's been used for tv series the crown, and in future will welcome visitors for tours. you may have seen poems, quotes or even jokes at tube stations, but have you ever wondered

who writes them? the messages known as �*all on the board' have been popping up on the underground since 2017. it's all down to tfl workers ian redpath and jeremy chopra — who've made it their mission to make commuters smile. a spark of inspiration from an event that was going on made us write a poem and it went down well with customers so we kept on doing more and more of these and itjust got bigger and bigger and bigger. i get anxiety attacks and depression and it's an outlet and we've realised doing it over the last five years that it helps many others too. "you truly deserve happiness and all of the good things in life. please see this message as a way of honouring you, yes, you. thanks for being you." travel now, and this is how the tubes are looking. the 0verground has a number of different closures until the 2nd ofjanuary, so do check before you travel. now onto the weather with katerina. hello there. good morning to you. an unsettled day ahead. plenty of cloud through this morning

with outbreaks of rain. some of that rain could fall pretty heavy in places and it is quite windy out there at the moment too. we'll stay windy through this afternoon. the majority of that rain should have cleared away and we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. so here's your picture through this morning. any clear spells will be replaced by plenty of cloud, outbreaks of rain, some heavy bursts in that rain, and it will persist through this morning. now, by about one o'clock this afternoon, the majority of that rain will clear out to the east. it will stay windy, but we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. highs today of around 12—13, so with these temperatures, it is going to be feeling quite mild. and we'll start off on a dry note through this evening with clear spells. through the overnight period, more cloud will start to build with some showery outbreaks of rain. again in that rain, there could be some pretty hefty bursts and it will stay rather breezy. temperatures tonight will dip to around 9—11. so a mild start to our new year's eve, but it will be rather unsettled. plenty more rain on the way, heavy at times, and it will stay rather windy.

there's lots more on our website and social media including new data showing which pets are the most targeted by thieves. that's it for now. i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. good morning to you. sarah joins us now. it's an extraordinary day in sport because of the death of pele puts all those read reviews before about people, iconic, legendary figures, but if ever those are appropriate, this is the day. this is the moment, this is the day. this is the moment, this is the athlete who was more than an athlete. you know, he was a footballer with such grace and speed and accuracy and skill and a big smile when he competed, but he was

also a huge ambassador for the game, for the community that he came from. he advocated for those who have grown up in poverty, for children with medical issues, and also he loved brazil and he was, you know, a great advocate for his country and what he believed his country could be. you know, for me growing up, when you start playing football, you instantly know about pele, don't you? we hear it everywhere around us. footballand you? we hear it everywhere around us. football and palais were almost the same thing growing up and he has this icon that has transcended the generation and mean something very specialfor generation and mean something very special for us generation and mean something very specialfor us all and he generation and mean something very special for us all and he did that because of his achievement on the pitch for brazil. i was watching some of the old footage last night. he won the first world cup with brazil in 1958 as a 17—year—old. he just burst onto the scene, fabulous skill, and there was this moment

when he was in absolute tears afterwards as to what he had achieved and what it meant to brazil and then we saw him, you know, go through and win two more world cups on the one in 1970 particularly iconic. that was almost his journey as a human, because he burst onto the scene as a 17—year—old fun of this youthful innocence, wide—eyed, but by 1970 he had wanted to give up football before that, retired from the national team, got kicked out of the national team, got kicked out of the 1966 world cup, he was injured massively within it, and he felt he couldn't win it, that he was bad luck for brazil, and it took a lot of coaxing him around to get back to competing in that team for brazil, and even through that 1970 tournament he grew into it. his players supported him and the relief when they won that in the way that they did with the fabulous team, it represented a journey a lot of people can relate to. as we were showing some of those images a moment ago, one of the things it brings apart from anything else is

me start with black and white footage, don't we, of the very early days, those first world cup images? and then time is passing and it gets into colour and we see the famous colours of brazil. and then we fast forward to much more recently, when his story still resonated and everyone in football wanted a picture with palais. —— pele. you don't need to be a football fan to know him. he was footballs first superstar. he went beyond football. even he ended his career in new york trying to promote the game of football because it was such an icon, the first football millionaire we had in the world. i saw somebody comparing him to elvis. he was that sort of impact in terms of being a superstar, getting beyond it. you don't have to like this want to know who pele was and to know he was

significant. this is wembley yesterday evening. paying tribute. there's been so many tributes to him because of his stature so that was the arch being lit up at wembley and so many tributes as i'd been saying so many tributes as i'd been saying so let's hear this one now from the former england striker of course and match of the day host gary lineker. well, pele is, of course, regarded as a legend, but he actually is a legend, certainly in football terms. he won three world cups and was a majorfigure in doing those. one of the greatest players of all time. won his first world cup in 1958 when he was just 17 years old and scored a hat—trick in the semifinal and then two in the final, including one where he flicks it over his head, over a defender, and volleys it into the back of the net. he followed that up with success in �*62 and then again in �*70, the only player to win three world cups. so i think it's very easy to explain why he's a legend. he's unquestionably one of the greatest football players that ever lived and you have to be a certain age, of course,

and i'm one of those people that were lucky enough to see him. gary lineker there. lots more tributes of course coming in. sir bobby charlton played against pele for england next. the 1966 world cup winner said, "pele was a truly magical footballer and a wonderful human being. it was an honour to have shared a pitch with him." brazilian star of the present neymar said that pele turned football into art, into entertainment, he gave voice to the poor. and argentina's captain lionel messi simply wrote, "rest in peace, pele." there's so many more tributes to him. it's lovely because it feels like a celebration of life, doesn't it? definitely, that's the important thing, because we'd been perhaps expecting it for a while, he's been suffering with health issues, and last night when the story started coming and it was a moment to reflect on what he has achieved. all

the magic. thank you, sarah. the time now is 6.35. from a long—awaited mission to the moon, to the stunning new images from the world's most powerful telescope, it's been a big year for space exploration. 0ur science editor rebecca morelle has been taking a look back at some of the biggest stories of 2022. and here we go. three. . .two. ..one. .. ..and lift—off of artemis 1. it was the start of the historic artemis mission. in november, nasa's new moon rocket was finally on its way. over the course of the next 26 days, the spacecraft performed a close flyby of the moon, capturing stunning images. and it flew far beyond further than any spacecraft built for humans. no people were on board this time, just mannequins covered in sensors. it was a test flight. the next step is to get astronauts on board and eventually land them on the lunar surface. i wanted to be an astronaut from the time that i was five years old. and, you know, for anybody that has a dream or some kind of aspiration, if they see somebody that they can

identify with a little bit, it puts them into a totally different perspective where they can say, well, wait a minute, that person was just like me and they did it so i can do it too. finally, after traveling more than a million miles, it was time for the spacecraft to come home. and there it is. high over the pacific, america's new ticket to ride to the moon and beyond now in view. then splashdown. the artemis mission was complete. nasa's now poring over the data from the spacecraft to get ready for astronauts to take the next ride in two year's time. 2022 also saw the first astonishing new images captured by the james webb space telescope. these are the cosmic cliffs of the carina nebula. amidst the dust, stars are being born. there was a new view of the pillars of creation, one of the most beautiful sights in the cosmos, and the deepest ever view of space. it's teeming with galaxies, some from just a few hundred million years after the dawn of the universe.

we can look further back towards the origin of the universe so it can see the first stars and galaxies forming. and, amazingly, it can look into the atmospheres of planets around distant stars, trying to understand what those atmospheres are like. and possibly, who knows if you saw oxygen in a planet, the planetary atmosphere, you might be looking at photosynthesis on a planet beyond the solar system. this year, the european space agency also announced its new astronauts, and this included the first ever para—astronaut, john mcfall. he's a paralympian sprinter. his right leg was amputated above the knee after a motorbike accident. he was selected using exactly the same criteria as all european astronauts. the only difference is he has a disability. i thought i would have the skills, a mix of skills and scientific background that i could really help them answer this very aspirational question of can we get someone with a physical disability

into space to work in space safely? and i thought i could be that person. the red planet was also a focus this year. nasa's perseverance rover started the most important parts of its mission hunting for signs of life on mars. it's been drilling into the most promising rocks, collecting samples to look for signs of ancient martian microbes. and there was the first ever planetary defence test. these images were beamed back from seven million miles away as a nasa spacecraft approached an asteroid. this space rock wasn't a threat to the earth, but this was a test to see if it could be knocked off course by smashing into it. fantastic! 0h, fantastic. i definitely think that as far as we can tell, j i our first planetary defence testl was a success and i think we can clap to that, everyone. so right? so yeah, i think earthlings

should sleep better. - definitely i will. people working here are definitely going to sleep better? _ the targets of the spacecraft was a twin asteroid system. the crash into one of the rocks gave it a kick and altered its speed and orbit. today, this mission shows that nasa is trying to be ready for whatever the universe throws at us. so what's next for 2023? the uk should see its first space launch from british soil from cornwall. the rocket is attached to this jumbo jet and it will be released mid—flight. release, release, release. firing its engines to blast off, paving the way for another remarkable year of space exploration. rebecca morrell, bbc news. here on breakfast, we've been following the story of three dads — mike, andy and tim — who became friends, and now campaigners, after their daughters took their own lives.

they've walked almost a thousand miles together, and raised more than £1 million for charity. alison freeman has been looking back at their most recent challenge. if you've been through something like we've been through and our families have been through, you've got to try and get something positive out of it. it's a mindset. you just got to just keep going, keep going as a human being. but if you can make it slightly better for another person, that gives you hope and it gives them hope as well. when it happens to you, this thing that doesn't happen, doesn't come into your lives suddenly has, one of the very first things that you rediscover off the back of that is that suicide is the biggest killer of young people in the uk. if that's the case, why aren't we doing something about it?

what are we? we're three dads. i suppose you get the male stereotype that doesn't talk. we do talk. we will talk about what's happened to us and how we feel. we believe we can prevent so many young suicides. if the government really want to and they debate this, if we can push it, it'll make a massive difference. let's stride like we mean it. we're like three old men. in september, these three dads set out on a mission. it was the second time they'd put on their walking boots to try to bring about change. having each lost a daughter to suicide, raising money and awareness wasn't enough. they wanted a change in legislation, a change in the way young people learned about the risk they pose to themselves. tim, andy and mike. the three dads walking, three dads to three daughters who all took their own lives.

emily, sophie and beth. it all started in 2021, when they were brought together by their grief and decided to shine a light on the issue. there they go. andy, mike and tim walking 300 miles over the next 15 days to raise money and awareness about suicide prevention. on that walk, they raised almost £1,000,000, but the dads knew that finishing that challenge was not the end of their work. and there would be a glaring gap that we should be talking about young people and one of the solutions would be to actually get the schools involved. i think when we crossed the line, you know, when you said to me about was it like to finish, it's like, well, we're not finished. it was really we knew then we weren't finished, but we didn't know what it what it was going to be.

you knew the shape of it? not at all, not at all. it was a logical progression — where do we take this next? we've done our homes. we needed to take it to london. i just always saw us walking into westminster. their plan took shape. the three dads would walk 600 miles between all four uk parliaments to try to get suicide prevention made a compulsory part of the school curriculum. on their first walk, they'd caught the eye of celebrities like daniel craig and nicole kidman, who each donated £10,000 to the cause. nicole kidman saying she'd been moved after seeing their story on tv. the evening before the dads set out on this latest challenge,

they sat down to messages from their friends, family and a few famous faces. hello, tim, mike and andy. it's george ezra here just with a little message - to say congratulations - on everything you're doing. yeah. thank you for what you're doing. andy, mike, tim. just incredible what you achieved last time around, and what you're about to do now is just truly, truly heroic. i'm sending you love, my best wishes. shout loudly. i know you'll be heard, all my very best. good luck. flipping heck! absolutely brilliant. oh, wow. wow. amazing. ileaked again! i've got to say, it's very easy for me to be very flippant and say it obviously, because it's envious about our bodies and the way

we conduct ourselves. to see him, you know, wishing us good luck and telling us to shout loudly it was like, wow, ok, that's another personjust pushing us in the right direction, just constantly giving a support. it's lovely to have that support not from just famous people. it's great, but also from the members of the public and the people they've met along the way have in many cases become theirfriends. we lost our son, jamie, two years ago. pete was, last year, was broken. he was shattered, absolutely shattered into a million pieces. and this year, when we met him, he bounced along, didn't he? came and met us, told us about all the running. he's got things in the future that he's looking forward _ to and he's doing them | for a reason, you know. and it's... yeah.

just that hope, isn't it? just that hope. i've recently lost my daughter to suicide. and ijust need to understand why. well, that was martin, that's where we met him last year. it was three weeks after he lost his daughter and he came to talk to us, really to find out how you stay alive really. this year, the dads stayed with martin on their way through lancashire. we're in a club no—one wants to be in. but you know, you meet these people, you realise you have great respect for them because you don't know how they even get out of bed in the morning with the grief they carry. but they do and they want to make a difference. having walked through northern ireland to stormont, they then started out from edinburgh to wales. there were many surprises along the way. as they passed through andy's home county of cumbria. there was an emotional moment when the folk band, the young'uns, sang a song they'd penned

in the dad's honour. sang a song they'd penned in the dads�* honour. # my dad's world was torn into. # no words can hold the pain he knew. # but there was one thing he could do. # so my dad's walking on. more high profile names offer their support. well, this will keep you going tomorrow. yeah, this is good. this is awesome. i think what they're doing is just tremendously important. it's a conversation the nation needs to have and actually putting it into the curriculum and encouraging a conversation with younger people is just just where we've got to go with this. it's bizarre, isn't it? you staying in someone's house, as in andy burnham's house, and you come down for tea, not expecting anything but a curry that andy was preparing in the kitchen. and then sam allardyce walks in and then robbie fowler walks in. i mean, there was a lot of bravado in football. it's probably now people. are starting to talk about,

you know, things are looking up. do you find it quite a sort of reflection of what the level of attention that you have managed to get for this? you've opened some doors there, haven't you? well, it shows where it shows where the next. thank you. that's the way you've put it. doesn't discriminate. so many people have helped us along the way. just because you're famous doesn't mean you don't need to reach out, you know? i think it's down to sheer determination. in all fairness, they don't look the fittest, do they? they strode across the border and into wales. the all—too—familiar stories of loss kept coming as parents turned out to walk and talk with the dads.

suicide is a scary word for parents out there. but, you know, losing your child to suicide and realising you've got to live the rest of your life without them is a million times scarier than that. rhyddian was well, he was just a funny, loveable, loving boy. he was rugby mad. he just got lost. he just didn't know where he was going or what he had to look forward to. on 4th november 2020 he committed suicide. crowds accompanied the dads to the welsh senate in cardiff, where the deputy minister for mental health gave them her backing. there's always more that we can do and i'm really committed to looking at using all the avenues we've got to make sure that we can have those safe, appropriate conversations about mental health and suicide in our schools.

i've seen her determination and what she's trying to do, which is absolutely in sync with what we tried to do. it fills me with great hope. the challenges have never deterred the dads from their mission. nettles! who brought us in here? this is a special video because andy | reckoned this footpath, apparently, j and is a total muppet! let it rain. we'll go through it. we feel good. some of us have waterproof trousers, others haven't. they're broken. naming no names. the dads then crossed back into england and headed towards the capital. people were in the hotel and they came from across the country.

we'd never met them before to walk with us on that final morning. and these are total strangers. they were excited about walking with us. when you learned why they were walking, you know, because they'd lost a son, they'd lost a daughter, and it was pitch black and it was cold. so to have just to have that support was absolutely incredible. and then when we set off to walk down the mall, it was like pied piper style stuff, wasn't it? as we came around the corner, it was like a big train of people following us along the road. they'd set up a petition calling on the government to debate their calls to make suicide prevention a compulsory subject in schools. and as their walk ended, the number of signatures shot up. look at these guys. this is life in abundance. everybody wants to see good news

these days in these tough times. and just in the couple of minutes that we've been on air, it's gone up 5,000 signatures. then by the end of that day, they'd reached the 100,000 needed. it felt like things were moving. but here we are, a couple of months later filming this, and it's not moved yet. so we've got to keep pushing. we need action. and i do believe that the government really have to act, not just talk about it. we can keep walking - and we could keep talking, but it's the power makers, i it's the politicians that need to make a difference now. we can always walk for longer than they're in power. - now you tell us! and they have kept pushing, their message, staying in the news agenda with their campaigning winning them a pride of britain award. again, getting them noticed by those in the public eye. well, you guys on tv,

you're incredible. you make me cry when i watch. we made a lot of people cry. i honestly don't know how i'd react | in situations like that, but they've| been absolutely brilliant. they are incredible. and to get everybody talking about this with young people and all the people who've joined you on the walk, we've told you their stories. i think it's a lot bigger than we recognised. there may not be any more plans to walk at the moment, but the dads remain committed to making ministers take notice. being bereaved by suicide is such a kind of exquisite pain. it's horrible. it's just excruciatingly painful. so when it first happens, you do wonder how you're going to survive. you know, i've got a sophie—sized hole in my life which can never be filled. it can't be. but by doing something that helps other people, you become more protected

from that gaping void. what do you think your girls would be making of what has happened over the past couple of years? i don't think em would have believed it. i don't think she would have thought she deserved to be on the national stage. but if she can make a difference, she was always a very caring person. she was a massively caring person, hated injustice in the world. and i think she would have been really proud the way we going to with it. and if she can make a difference in other people's lives, that's a good thing. i never believed that beth really wanted to take her own life. you know, i think if she was looking down, she'd say, "you know, dad, don't let others do what i did."

we've had the pleasure of meeting them many times here on breakfast right here on the sofa and it is always a very charming experience, full of laughter, and it's amazing what they have achieved in such a short period of time. the strength they get from one another but also they get from one another but also the people they met along the way as you heard there, gave them enormous strength to have been to experiences similar. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. london ambulance service is urging people to only call if it's absolutely necessary as it prepares for its busiest time of the year. it's expecting more than 8,000 emergency calls

over new year's day — 45% more than usual a typical day before the pandemic. there'll be extra staff in the control room but the advice is to celebrate safely. meanwhile, gatwick airport is preparing for a busy 24 hours with more departures expected over the next day than any other during the festive period. it comes as border force staff continue their strikes across london's airports over pay, jobs and conditions. gatwick says most passengers will remain unaffected. a stately home in hertfordshire, which was once home to henry viii, is to open to the public. the owners of ashridge house in berkhamsted want to help meet running costs. so far it's been used for tv series the crown and in future will welcome visitors for tours. you may have seen poems, quotes or even jokes at tube stations, but have you ever wondered who writes them? the messages known as all on the board have been popping up on the underground since 2017. it's all down to tfl workers ian redpath and jeremy chopra,

who've made it their mission to make commuters smile. a spark of inspiration from an event that was going on made us write a poem and it went down well with customers so we kept on doing more and more of these and itjust got bigger and bigger and bigger. i get anxiety attacks and depression and it's an outlet and we've realised doing it over the last five years that it helps many others too. "you truly deserve happiness and all of the good things in life. please see this message as a way of honouring you, yes, you. thanks for being you." travel now, and this is how the tubes are looking. the 0verground has a number of different closures until the 2nd of january so do check before you travel. now on to the weather with katerina. hello there. good morning to you. an unsettled day ahead. plenty of cloud through this morning with outbreaks of rain. some of that rain could fall pretty heavy in places and it is quite windy out there at the moment too.

it will stay windy through this afternoon. the majority of that rain should have cleared away and we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. so here's your picture through this morning. any clear spells will be replaced by plenty of cloud, outbreaks of rain, some heavy bursts in that rain, and it will persist through this morning. now, by about one o'clock this afternoon, the majority of that rain will clear out to the east. it will stay windy, but we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. highs today of around 12—13, so with these temperatures, it is going to be feeling quite mild. and we'll start off on a dry note through this evening with clear spells. through the overnight period, more cloud will start to build with some showery outbreaks of rain. again in that rain, there could be some pretty hefty bursts and it will stay rather breezy. temperatures tonight will dip to around 9—11. so a mild start to our new year's eve, but it will be rather unsettled. plenty more rain on the way, heavy at times, and it will stay rather windy. riz lateef is on bbc radio london's breakfast show from 7,

player of all time — who has died at the age of 82. during his two decades on the pitch, pele scored a world record of more than 1,200 goals in around 1,300 appearances,and became the only player to win the world cup three times. simonjones has this report. commentator: rivellino, and it's pele. _ he's got it. pele has scored. a sporting icon, who made football beautiful. commentator: rivellino centres... described by the brazilian football confederation as the greatest sportsperson of all time. commentator: pele, | the 17-year-old wonder. he burst onto the international stage at the world cup in 1958, when he was just 17. he scored six goals in four matches. commentator: in the last minute, it's 5-2 for brazil. _ he'd win the world cup three times, the only player ever to achieve this. in mexico in 1970, his skill, electrifying speed and deadly accuracy were all on display. in a career that spanned two decades, he scored

more than 1,000 goals. fans have been gathering outside the stadium in sao paulo that became synonymous with pele. and at the hospital where he died, for some, it's proving too much to bear. translation: pele was part of our life. | seems like we're losing a family member. who didn't dream of being pele? translation: pele's death | transcends the mere question of being a fan or not. in fact, for the past 40 years, he's really been a worldwide icon. a message posted on pele's twitter account read... his daughter, kellie nascimento wrote... the brazilian star neymar said...

last night, wembley�*s arch was lit in the colours of brazil, the colours of pele, a tribute to an icon mirrored in rio dejaneiro. we feel a void. we feel sad. but actually, we never lose him. we never lost him. he's forever with us. he's forever with everyone. off the pitch, pele campaigned to improve conditions for the most deprived in society. looking back at his long career, he said he had no regrets. if i have to do every single game again since i was born until now,

i would do everything again. and i thank god. pele's great achievements were marked at this year's world cup in qatar, as concern for his health grew. the brazilian government has now declared three days of national mourning to pay tribute to a national idol. simon jones, bbc news. brazil has announced three days of national mourning following the death of the footballing great. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson has sent us this report from outside the hospital in sao paulo where pele died. this is a moment that so many people knew was going to happen but at the same time dreaded of course happening. and now you can see the world's media as well as fans, who have come to pay their respects, have gathered outside the hospital where he died. even the hospital put out a statement saying that they shared in the pain and the suffering that came with the loss of their beloved king of football. i think itjust shows how important he was for so many millions of people, whether you watched him

play as a young footballer or you were a younger brazilian, who was told about his phenomenal skills. he united this country and i think that's so important in a country that has been torn apart by partisan politics these last few years. he didn't get involved in politics. at times he was criticised for not getting involved, but at the same time that meant that he remained a universal icon for so many millions here. the president elect, lula da silva, who takes over from sunday, he said there was no number 10 shirt like him. he really was the king here in brazil. and, of course, this country is now in mourning. as we've been hearing, tributes for pele have been pouring in from around the world. cristiano ronaldo shared this

picture and said: "a mere goodbye to the eternal king pele will never be enough to express the pain that is enveloping the whole of the football world right now". french star kylian mbappe also described pele as... and former president barack 0bama said... we're joined now by fernando duarte, who is a brazilian football journalist living in the uk, who has also met pele. i suppose that is a good place to start. we have a picture you can share with us this moment in time. what was happening?— share with us this moment in time. what was happening? there can only be two pictures- _ what was happening? there can only be two pictures. if— what was happening? there can only be two pictures. if it _ what was happening? there can only be two pictures. if it is _ what was happening? there can only be two pictures. if it is the _ what was happening? there can only be two pictures. if it is the one - be two pictures. if it is the one where we are both holding a sshh...

that is the only time he broke his own rule of not having a photo. you would, wouldn't you? and now to the loss of another icon, as the world of fashion remembers the british designer dame vivienne westwood, who has died at the age of 81. dame vivienne was widely regarded as a pioneer of the punk movement — and her designs were worn by supermodels to royalty. she was also a vocal activist, and championed causes like the environment and animal rights. sarah campbell has this look at her life and career — it contains flashing images. # i am an antichrist. # i am an anarchist. # don't know what i want but i know how to get it. # i want to destroy...# she gave birth to punk, conquered the catwalk and built a globalfashion empire. a grammarschool girl from glossop in derbyshire, vivienne westwood was a would—be revolutionary who both shocked and inspired, transforming british fashion.

the trousers all come with a little loincloth on the back. everybody wants to know what that's for. it is just a loincloth, it's just a gesture. her empire started here, a shop on london's kings road. she, along with her creative partner malcolm mclaren, dressed the sex pistols and made bondage gear and swastika trousers fashion must—haves. i think it is very sane for young people to be angry. and that is what we were doing, and i wanted this look of an urban guerrilla, and that's what we were after. in the �*80s, she moved from london to the paris catwalks, initially with mclaren, and then on her own. the fashionistas loved her. you have to go where you have to go. you have to do what you have to do, and i certainly don't want to be underground. i want to be at a place the most focused that i can find. she used traditional fabrics such as harris tweed and designs from the history books.

the supermodels of the day wanted to show for her, even when asked to walk in nine—inch platforms. this fall only added to naomi campbell's fame. laughter. the general public found some of her designs somewhat baffling. ms westwood was bemused by the reaction from this television audience in the late �*80s. if they don't stop laughing, i shall tell the next person not to come on. oh, dear. you're not to laugh! so many of her ideas ended up on the high street, it was she who would have the last laugh. and she wasn'tjust passionate about clothing. she regularly used her profile to push causes she supported. this tank would end up outside david cameron's house. i declare war on fracking! ever the rebel, she chose not to wear any knickers while receiving her 0be from the queen. that didn't stop her being made a dame in 2006. when sex and the city's iconic character carrie bradshaw needed a wedding dress,

she turned to vivienne westwood. my maxim — if in doubt, dress up. don't ever dress down, you'll be so disappointed. her influence as a designer spanned five decades. she was both a commercial and critical success, managing to rise up the ranks of the establishment without abandoning her antiestablishment credentials. and overnight tributes have been coming in for dame vivienne westwood. singer boy george tweeted this photo, saying... the us fashion designer machacobs said he was heartbroken and added:

and the v&a museum of art, design and performance in london called her a "true revolutionary and rebellious force in fashion." a third person has been arrested over the death of ellie edwards, who was shot dead at a pub in wallasey on christmas eve. two other people — a 30—year—old man and a 19—year—old woman — are still being questioned. 0ur reporter geeta pendse is in wallasey this morning. geeta, what more can you tell us? as you can probably see, there is still a very strong police presence here in wallasey as part of that investigation but also to reassure the community. eddie edwards died after shots were fired outside the lighthouse park on christmas eve, just before midnight on christmas eve and four men were also injured

at that time. police say the pub had been packed full of people, mostly young people enjoying a night out. as he mentioned this is a developing case. three people had been arrested tjy case. three people had been arrested by merseyside police and are currently being questioned by then. the police have also released footage showing the moment when one of the suspects was arrested. yesterday officers were given extra time to question two suspects, who were arrested on boxing day, as 30—year—old man from tranmere arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and a 19—year—old woman arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. at 31—year—old yesterday was also arrested suspicion of conspiracy to murder. police do not believe ellie was the target of the shooting. since her death there has been an outpouring

of grief with so many tributes left in her memory. the police have one message me if anyone has information please come forward and they will be relentless in finding the killer of ellie. ., ~ relentless in finding the killer of ellie. . ~ i. the controversial online influencer, andrew tate, has been detained in romania as part of a human trafficking and rape investigation. mr tate, who was detained alongside his brother tristan, had his house raided in the capital, bucharest. the brothers have been under investigation since april alongside two romanian nationals. at least 30 children have died in the uk from invasive strep a since september. the majority of cases are usually mild, but sometimes strep can be life—threatening when it gets through the body's defences and passes into areas it is not normally found — like in the blood, lungs or muscles. the ousted myanmar leader, aung san suu kyi, has been sentenced to a further seven years in prison, bringing her overall

jail time to 33 years. the 77—year—old has been under house arrest since a military coup in february 2021. since then, she's faced 18 months of trials on 19 charges, which rights groups say are a sham. official files from 2001 show the then prime minister, tony blair, argued for president putin to be given a seat at the international "top table", despite concerns from officials. mr blair thought it was important for the russian leader to be encouraged to adopt western values. but an internal number ten briefing note highlighted issues including a resurgence in russian espionage activities and fears he couldnt be trusted. you may remember that earlier this week we had a beautiful dog called snowdrop on the programme, who was looking for a new home.

she had been rescued because she had been used to make puppies and never treated as a pet. what was really interesting, a charity that brought her and said the moment she was showing some human affection, it was lovely. it was beautiful. introduced to her new owner. immediately. all done. that is michelle. a lovely match. ican i can report to you in the north—west there is a lot of bluster going on. there is. good morning. from the heart—warming still of the —— story of the dog, a pretty wet morning install. 0ut there this

morning install. 0ut there this morning rain is particularly heavy across parts of south—west scotland. the met office has issued an amber weather warning for heavy rain. further flood warnings in forceful central and southern scotland. starting to clear from the west of northern ireland. there will be a narrow band are pretty intense rain and snow on the scottish mountains. it is the persistence of the rain that will cause issues. dry in eastern parts of england. towards the south—west, south—west wales things will gradually brighten up. that is by nine o'clock this morning. notice how the rain continues to march east. brightening up continues to march east. brightening up across many other parts into the afternoon. still showers around a more persistent rain across 0rkney and shetland where it'll be another chilly day. a milder day with rain and sunshine out later across the

south. the wind will strengthen further tonight across northern scotland for a time, causing damage and disruption. elsewhere after clear skies through the night we will start to see rain pushing north. could cause icy conditions on the northern edge into the start of new year's eve. it will split the country in two. scotland will be cold and for some wintry new year's eve. the rest of us rain at times amount in the south. details on all of that later. back to you. restrictions on passengers arriving into the uk from china are currently being reviewed by the government. countries including the us, italy and japan have already introduced mandatory testing for visitors from china after a surge of covid cases in the country. we'rejoined now by calum semple, professor of outbreak medicine and child health at the university of liverpool. good to see you, as ever. what should be the reaction? when someone

like china which delayed in the way they responded, what should the reaction be from the government? the aood reaction be from the government? tie: good news is is that the sequences shared by chinese scientist in the last few weeks will show the virus going around in china is closely related to viruses going around the rest of the world in the last six months. the vaccine we have got in the uk, the new vista one not the old one covers you against the 0micron strains. i'm going to take the approach should keep calm, we have got this covered.— have got this covered. carrying on from that, — have got this covered. carrying on from that, lots _ have got this covered. carrying on from that, lots of _ have got this covered. carrying on from that, lots of people - have got this covered. carrying on from that, lots of people are - from that, lots of people are weighing up at the moment whether or not to have a booster. perception is we have built up immunity and had possibly had covid more than once, we have built up immunity, why have another? the we have built up immunity, why have another? ., we have built up immunity, why have another? . ., another? the great thing about the booster is it _ another? the great thing about the booster is it is _ another? the great thing about the booster is it is bivalent _

pressure when they get here. it is early days and i do not know what the policy will be. that early days and i do not know what the policy will be.— the policy will be. that brings in a lot of practical — the policy will be. that brings in a lot of practical questions - the policy will be. that brings in a lot of practical questions as - the policy will be. that brings in a lot of practical questions as to - the policy will be. that brings in a| lot of practical questions as to how it can be implemented and that is outside your domain because it is more to do with implementation and politics. going back to the principle point you may before, ultimately our best protection right now, almost notwithstanding what happens elsewhere, there are big rises in china at the moment, is the fact we are well protected here and more people could get more protected. more people could get more protected-— more people could get more rotected. . ., , ., protected. there are a number of ounuer protected. there are a number of younger people — protected. there are a number of younger people who _ protected. there are a number of younger people who are - protected. there are a number of younger people who are at - protected. there are a number of younger people who are at risk. protected. there are a number of younger people who are at risk of severe disease because of underlying health problems and their relatives who, for complex reasons, cannot be vaccinated effectively. i will touch people to take the vaccine committee shown to be safe, it can prevent severe disease. not as good as preventing transmission as it was originally. preventing transmission as it was oriainall . ~ , preventing transmission as it was originally._ there - preventing transmission as it was originally._ there are l preventing transmission as it was i originally._ there are two

brand—new bus shelters up - and we've got no buses. a couple of miles away, i met graham, a local bus user and campaigner. a lot of the routes have been cut and the trouble is also that even if you look at the timetable for the reduced services, the buses often just don't turn up at all and it leaves people being late for appointments, it means people can't get to church, it means a lot more people will be using their cars and it means we're getting worse and worse pollution in our area. we've some of the highest pollution in sheffield in burngreave, it's a disadvantaged area. a charity which calls for more and improved public transport says it's an issue across the country. we hear from people almost on a daily basis to let us know that their bus service has been cut, the route has been changed, that they're having real difficulties getting the places they need to go by bus. our research, at campaign for transport, showed that they've

disappeared by quarter — the number of bus services in the last decade and we are still seeing cuts. unfortunately, there's a funding issue and unless there is more funding for local bus services, we will see more cut. the provision of bus services has been declining for a number of years and the pandemic has had a big impact on top of that. passenger numbers still haven't recovered to what they were before. and despite emergency funding from the government over the past couple of years, some operators say a number of routes just aren't viable any more. their trade body insists operators try to thin out services rather than withdraw them. but sometimes there's no alternative. 0ur costs are up about 25% through rising fuel prices, rising cost of living, which is feeding through into the amount we need to pay our drivers. at the same time, passenger numbers are down considerably. some areas, including sheffield, have already brought in a £2 cap on the cost of single bus journeys. the buses minister said the same fare cap being available across most of england for three months from january would encourage more people back on to buses.

he said the government had already put millions in to supporting services. what i want to see is a reliable service for the future, which people can know it's going to be there when it says it's going to be there and it's also affordable for people to use. and that's why i think it's really important to try and have schemes to get that ridership back on because if you don't get that ridership back on, all we end up doing is paying hundreds of millions of pounds more in subsidy. what i want to see is that money going towards actually delivering services. the bus industry says it's trying to keep as many routes as possible, but challenges still lie ahead. some passengers worry services they relied on have gone for good. katy austin, bbc news in sheffield. more of those tributes being paid to pele. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. london ambulance service is urging people to only call if it's absolutely necessary as it prepares for its busiest time of the year. it's expecting more than 8,000 emergency calls over new year's day — 45% more than usual a typical day before the pandemic. there'll be extra staff in the control room, but the advice is to celebrate safely. meanwhile, the met says thousands of officers will be on duty tomorrow across the capital and in central london. scotland yard said it'll be working with british transport police and stewarding teams helping to manage the fireworks display on the banks of the thames. they're reminding people that the area will be very busy and to watch the event from home if you don't have a ticket. a stately home in hertfordshire which was once home to henry viii is to open to the public. the owners of ashridge house in berkhamsted want to help meet running costs. so far it's been used for tv series the crown, and in future will welcome visitors for tours.

you may have seen poems, quotes or even jokes at tube stations, but have you ever wondered who writes them? the messages known as �*all on the board' have been popping up on the underground since 2017. it's all down to tfl workers ian redpath and jeremy chopra who have made it their mission to make commuters smile. a spark of inspiration from an event that was going on made us write a poem and it went down well with customers so we kept on doing more and more of these and itjust got bigger and bigger and bigger. i get anxiety attacks and depression and it's an outlet and we've realised doing it over the last five years that it helps many others too. "you truly deserve happiness and all of the good things in life. please see this message as a way of honouring you, yes, you. thanks for being you." travel now and this is how the tubes are looking. the 0verground has a number of different closures until the 2nd of january so do check before you travel. and minor delays on the metropolitan line. now onto the weather with katerina.

hello there. good morning to you. an unsettled day ahead. plenty of cloud through this morning with outbreaks of rain. some of that rain could fall pretty heavy in places and it is quite windy out there at the moment too. we'll stay windy through this afternoon. the majority of that rain should have cleared away and we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. so here's your picture through this morning. any clear spells will be replaced by plenty of cloud, outbreaks of rain, some heavy bursts in that rain, and it will persist through this morning. now, by about one o'clock this afternoon, the majority of that rain will clear out to the east. it will stay windy, but we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. highs today of around 12—13, so with these temperatures, it is going to be feeling quite mild. and we'll start off on a dry note through this evening with clear spells. through the overnight period, more cloud will start to build with some showery outbreaks of rain. again in that rain, there could be some pretty hefty bursts and it will stay rather breezy. temperatures tonight will dip to around 9—11. so a mild start to our new year's eve, but it will be rather unsettled.

plenty more rain on the way, heavy at times, and it will stay rather windy. riz lateef is on bbc radio london's breakfast show discussing the new year's day parade. that's it for now. i'm back in around half an hour. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. sarah's here with the sport. charlie stayt and nina warhurst. the charlie stayt and nina warhurst. world paying tribl and the world paying tribute to the one and only pele. he is a one—off, one of those names, for letters, everybody around the world every generation knows him.— everybody around the world every generation knows him. why? brazil and football. _ generation knows him. why? brazil and football, isn't _ generation knows him. why? brazil and football, isn't it? _ generation knows him. why? brazil and football, isn't it? you - generation knows him. why? brazil and football, isn't it? you say - generation knows him. why? brazil and football, isn't it? you say pele| and football, isn't it? you say pele you instantly think about brazil the country and the football he played and there was a lovely line from neymar, a really nice tribute actually, one of the younger generation of brazilian footballing talent, and he said before pele,

at this morning's weather. how are you? very well, thank you. i hope you are well too so it's the last few days of 2022 and certainly a lot to come today for some of you this morning but things will brighten up later and it will be a wash—out of a day. from space, not some cloud across the atlantic being fired up about pretty active jet stream is caused by the severe weather we've seen over the usa and underneath that cloud is where the rain has been so far today. some areas of eastern england still dry at the moment and the north of england but there will be rain with the very shortly. the heaviest rain is in northern ireland and scotland with snow on the hills in scotland as well but the rainfall totals have been totalling up and dumfries, galloway, an amber weather warning for heavy rain. 22 flood warnings in southern scotland. before the rain clears northern ireland in the next few hours, a band of heavy rain will push across scotland before it

clears by the end of lunchtime. rain spreads across the rest of england and wales, but into the afternoon most places brighten up. a few showers in the north and west. a cool day to come in 0rkney and shetland. 4 degrees. some sunshine to end the day for many. tonight severe winds across scotland for a time with wintry weather. the windfalls light before picking up. rain spreads its way northwards through the night so there will be a touch of frost around and a bit of a cool start to the day across the northern half of the uk and it's here on new year's eve where they will be at times, snow in the north, rain in the south which will turn to snow as it hits a colder air. northern ireland will see rain at times and england and wales, the heaviest of the rain will be through the afternoon across southern and eastern parts of england where we could hit around 15 but up to midnight, further rain sweeps northwards. clear skies in its wake

as we had to midnight. the wet weather will be across the far north of ireland, southern scotland and sleet and snow too across scotland to see in the brand—new year. but, as for new year's day itself, get out and clear your head in a bit. some of the weather fronts travelling across southern scotland and northern ireland to begin with pushing northwards, more extensive snow across the mountains on new year's day. elsewhere, it's going to be a case of get some waterproofs on and just be prepared. heavy and thundery showers around across parts of northern england, wales, southern scotland, northern ireland during the day. the south—east could see rain early doors were brightening up later, so are better afternoon i think to southern and eastern areas compared with the morning. still miles across southern parts. chili to the north once again and the coldest weather throughout the next few days will be in scotland but next week temperatures will drop a little bit for england and wales and it will be a little bit drier to see in the first few days of 2023. but

certainly plenty of weather around to get us over the last few days of 2022. �* ., . ~ to get us over the last few days of 2022. i, . ~ ., to get us over the last few days of 2022. n, . ~ ., _, to get us over the last few days of 2022. ., ., ~ to get us over the last few days of 2022. ., ., 2022. back to you both. thank you. if ou 2022. back to you both. thank you. if you delve — 2022. back to you both. thank you. if you delve into _ 2022. back to you both. thank you. if you delve into your _ 2022. back to you both. thank you. if you delve into your statistical i if you delve into your statistical whether brain, can you do that for us? new year's eve, 15, that seems incredibly warm? tt is us? new year's eve, 15, that seems incredibly warm?— incredibly warm? it is very warm indeed. incredibly warm? it is very warm indeed- the _ incredibly warm? it is very warm indeed. the warmest _ incredibly warm? it is very warm indeed. the warmest new- incredibly warm? it is very warm | indeed. the warmest new year's incredibly warm? it is very warm i indeed. the warmest new year's eve though was 16.8 recorded in wales and across england so not the warmest on record but incredibly mild for the last day of the year. you did very well there. he pulled it out for statistical brain just like that. it's all there. thank you. 7.45 is the time now. pollution, overfishing and avian flu have been named as some of this year's biggest threats to the uk's seas and coastlines. they're the findings from the wildlife trusts�* annual marine review, but the report also noted some highlights, including the discovery of a new species of coral, a 100—year—old shark, and a very special albatross. we're joined now by lissa batey, the head of marine conservation at the wildlife trusts.

species, new individualsjoining so it's marvellous we've got new species, new individuals joining the pods. we've also had a neon disco sea slug that only measures two centimetres in length found on the isles of scilly. others perhaps have seen this purple pink and yellow creature before but this is the first official recording, so it's been an absolutely marvellous year, not to mention their dream shark. taste not to mention their dream shark. we are looking at their sea slugs at the moment. they are beautiful and technicolour so what's it like when you have a moment of discovery like that, the coral for example off the coast of scotland which presumably has been there for a very long time but is new to our eyes, it must be amazing? but is new to our eyes, it must be amazin: ? �* , but is new to our eyes, it must be amazinu? �*, , but is new to our eyes, it must be amazinu? , ., . amazing? it's absolutely fantastic and it shows _ amazing? it's absolutely fantastic and it shows that _ amazing? it's absolutely fantastic and it shows that we _ amazing? it's absolutely fantastic and it shows that we just - amazing? it's absolutely fantastic and it shows that we just still i and it shows that we just still don't know everything there is to know about the marine environment. there are new discoveries to be made, exciting moments to have, breathtaking moments, the sorts of

things most of us have beamed into our living rooms and lounges when the bbc covered the blue planet. most people don't think about those moments off of our shores. we are an island nation surrounded by the sea and the creatures are there but only if we have our binoculars out, our eyes peeled, and to realise that these brightly coloured individuals and blue planet moments can be there for all of us to discover.— for all of us to discover. because to see it is _ for all of us to discover. because to see it is to — for all of us to discover. because to see it is to believe _ for all of us to discover. because to see it is to believe it, - for all of us to discover. because to see it is to believe it, isn't i to see it is to believe it, isn't it? images like this off our coastline as we think of as being not that diverse, we saw bottlenosed dolphins off the coast in scotland are people in yorkshire were being treated to them as well? yes. are people in yorkshire were being treated to them as well?— treated to them as well? yes, the individuals — treated to them as well? yes, the individuals in _ treated to them as well? yes, the individuals in scotland _ treated to them as well? yes, the individuals in scotland have i treated to them as well? yes, the individuals in scotland have been | individuals in scotland have been photo identified and we have discovered that they have been holidaying if you like, spending the

about where they are going and where they are letting the dog. we want people to walk the coastline, we want them to be out on the cliff tops looking out for their wales which could be passing within sight, but also about responsible boat use and that always makes the news in the summer because people, most of the summer because people, most of the time it's their excitement and their wish to get close, but it means that they can cause a disturbance to seal colonies or maybe get a bit too close to dolphin groups, so we would always advise people to keep their distance and allow the wildlife to come to them are not the other way around. shah are not the other way around. an important warning. thank you so much for the beautiful images. who knew they were living just off our shores? the i'm now a 7.50. now, for many of us, the festive period is a chance to relax and rewatch some of our favourite nostalgic tv programmes. one of those classics, the sitcom �*allo �*allo!, is celebrating its 40th birthday,

forecast — parts of southern scotland. the forecast to take you into the new year here — forecast to take you into the new year here on breakfast. it's friday, the 30th of december. our main story. tributes are being paid to the brazilian football legend pele — widely regarded as the greatest player of all time — who has died at the age of 82. during his two decades on the pitch, pele scored a world record of more than 1,200 goals in around 1,300 appearances — and became the only player to win the world cup three times. simonjones has this report. commentator: rivellino, and it's pele. _ he's got it. pele has scored. a sporting icon, who made football beautiful. commentator: rivellino centres... described by the brazilian football confederation as the greatest sportsperson of all time. archive: pele, - the 17-year-old wonder. he burst onto the international stage at the world cup in 1958, when he was just 17. he scored six goals in four matches. commentator: in the last minute, it's 5-2 for brazil. _

he'd win the world cup three times, the only player ever to achieve this. in mexico in 1970, his skill, electrifying speed and deadly accuracy were all on display. in a career that spanned two decades, he scored more than 1,000 goals. fans have been gathering outside the stadium in sao paulo that became synonymous with pele. and at the hospital where he died, for some, it's proving too much to bear. translation: pele was part of our life. | seems like we're losing a family member. who didn't dream of being pele? translation: pele's death | transcends the mere question of being a fan or not. in fact, for the past 40 years, he's really been a worldwide icon. a message posted on pele's twitter account read... "inspiration and and loved mark the journey of king pele,

who peacefully passed away. love, love and love forever." his daughter, kellie nascimento wrote... and england's world cup winner, sir geoff hurst, said... last night, wembley�*s arch was [it in the colours of brazil, the colours of pele, a tribute to an icon mirrored in rio dejaneiro. we feel a void. we feel sad. but actually, we never lose him. we never lost him. he's forever with us. he's forever with everyone. off the pitch, pele campaigned

to improve conditions for the most deprived in society. looking back at his long career, he said he had no regrets. if i have to do every single game again since i was born until now, i would do everything again. and i thank god. pele's great achievements were marked at this year's world cup in qatar, as concern for his health grew. the brazilian government has now declared three days of national mourning to pay tribute to a national idol. mourners across brazil have been out on the streets to pay tribute to the footballing great. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson has sent us this report from outside the hospital in sao paulo where pele died. this is a moment that so many people knew was going to happen but at the same time dreaded of course happening. and now you can see the world's media as well as fans, who have come to pay their respects,

have gathered outside the hospital where he died. even the hospital put out a statement saying that they shared in the pain and the suffering that came with the loss of their beloved king of football. i think itjust shows how important he was for so many millions of people, whether you watched him play as a young footballer or you were a younger brazilian, who was told about his phenomenal skills. he united this country and i think that's so important in a country that has been torn apart by partisan politics these last few years. he didn't get involved in politics. at times he was criticised for not getting involved, but at the same time that meant that he remained a universal icon for so many millions here. the president elect, lula da silva, who takes over from sunday, he said there was no number 10 shirt like him. he really was the king here in brazil. and, of course, this

country is now in mourning. as we've been hearing, tributes for pele have been pouring in from around the world. cristiano ronaldo shared this picture and said: "a mere goodbye to the eternal king pele will never be enough to express the pain that is enveloping the whole of the football world right now". french star kylian mbappe also described pele as... and former president barack 0bama said... and now to the loss of another icon, as the world of fashion remembers the british designer dame vivienne westwood, who has died at the age of 81. dame vivienne was widely regarded as a pioneer of the punk movement —

and her designs were worn by supermodels to royalty. she was also a vocal activist, and championed causes like the environment and animal rights. sarah campbell has this look at her life and career — it contains flashing images. # i am an antichrist. # i am an anarchist. # don't know what i want but i know how to get it. # i want to destroy...# she gave birth to punk, conquered the catwalk and built a globalfashion empire. a grammarschool girl from glossop in derbyshire, vivienne westwood was a would—be revolutionary who both shocked and inspired, transforming british fashion. the trousers all come with a little loincloth on the back. everybody wants to know what that's for. it is just a loincloth, it's just a gesture. her empire started here, a shop on london's kings road.

she, along with her creative partner malcolm mclaren, dressed the sex pistols and made bondage gear and swastika trousers fashion must—haves. i think it is very sane for young people to be angry. and that is what we were doing, and i wanted this look of an urban guerrilla, and that's what we were after. in the '80s, she moved from london to the paris catwalks, initially with mclaren, and then on her own. the fashionistas loved her. you have to go where you have to go. you have to do what you have to do, and i certainly don't want to be underground. i want to be at a place the most focused that i can find. she used traditional fabrics such as harris tweed and designs from the history books. the supermodels of the day wanted to show for her, even when asked to walk in nine—inch platforms. this fall only added to naomi campbell's fame. laughter. the general public found some of her designs somewhat baffling. ms westwood was bemused

by the reaction from this television audience in the late '80s. if they don't stop laughing, i shall tell the next person not to come on. oh, dear. you're not to laugh! so many of her ideas ended up on the high street, it was she who would have the last laugh. and she wasn'tjust passionate about clothing. she regularly used her profile to push causes she supported. this tank would end up outside david cameron's house. i declare war on fracking! ever the rebel, she chose not to wear any knickers while receiving her 0be from the queen. that didn't stop her being made a dame in 2006. when sex and the city's iconic character carrie bradshaw needed a wedding dress, she turned to vivienne westwood. my maxim — if in doubt, dress up. don't ever dress down, you'll be so disappointed. her influence as a designer spanned five decades. she was both a commercial and critical success, managing to rise up the ranks of the establishment

without abandoning her antiestablishment credentials. and joining us now is fashion designer patrick cox, who's worked alongside dame vivienne westwood. morning dame vivienne westwood. to you. we heard in tha report morning to you. we heard in that report machine is known as rebellious, flamboyant, all that land. you met her when you were 21 and became firm friends with her. one—on—one, as a friend, what is she like? t one-on-one, as a friend, what is she like? ., . , like? i loved her. in the nicest ossible like? i loved her. in the nicest possible way _ like? i loved her. in the nicest possible way it _ like? i loved her. in the nicest possible way it was _ like? i loved her. in the nicest possible way it was like - like? i loved her. in the nicestj possible way it was like having like? i loved her. in the nicest l possible way it was like having a bad english aunt. she was eccentric, kind, loving. i remember one day working in the studio, really broke at that point of her career, she was in the middle of knitting a cardigan, literally making it

then the lorry arrived and there was some outfits and the italian said to make your own close. we had to find people to come backstage and help to make the clothes. the show went on two hours late and that is the one i especially did the shoot still. i did the shoots she wanted but i threw in a design of my own, the gold platforms. remember delivering shoes backstage the night before, how 705, platforms! it came back to haunt because it became her most iconic shoes. backstage there was chaos. somehow the gold platforms got thrown in and they were worn on the runway repeatedly and that was my first breakthrough and the first moment using platforms. t am my first breakthrough and the first moment using platforms.- moment using platforms. i am not sure ou moment using platforms. i am not sure you are _ moment using platforms. i am not sure you are seeing _ moment using platforms. i am not sure you are seeing what - moment using platforms. i am not sure you are seeing what we - moment using platforms. i am not sure you are seeing what we are i sure you are seeing what we are putting out on a television right now. this is an image of you and

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. london ambulance service is urging people to only call if it's absolutely necessary as it prepares for its busiest time of the year. it's expecting more than 8,000 emergency calls over new year's day — a5% more than a typical day before the pandemic. there'll be extra staff but the advice is to celebrate safely. meanwhile, the met says thousands of officers will be on duty tomorrow across the capital and in central london. scotland yard said it'll be working with british transport police and stewarding teams helping to manage the fireworks display on the banks of the thames. they're reminding people that the area will be very busy and to watch the event from home if you don't have a ticket. new documents have revealed the millenium dome could have been dismantled and moved to swindon. the 02 as it's now known — only attracted half the expected visitors when it was first launched over 20 years ago. papers released to the national archives in kew show plans sent to the government calling for it be

turned into a museum to the west of london. you may have seen poems, quotes or even jokes at tube stations, but have you ever wondered who writes them? the messages known as 'all on the board' have been popping up on the underground since 2017. it's all down to tfl workers ian redpath and jeremy chopra, who have made it their mission to make commuters smile. a spark of inspiration from an event that was going on made us write a poem and it went down well with customers so we kept on doing more and more of these and itjust got bigger and bigger and bigger. i get anxiety attacks and depression and it's an outlet and we've realised doing it over the last five years that it helps many others too. "you truly deserve happiness and all of the good things in life. please see this message as a way of honouring you, yes, you. thanks for being you." travel now and this is how the tubes are looking. the 0verground has a number of different closures until the 2nd of january so do check before you travel. and minor delays on the central line.

now onto the weather with katerina. hello there. good morning to you. an unsettled day ahead. plenty of cloud through this morning with outbreaks of rain. some of that rain could fall pretty heavy in places and it is quite windy out there at the moment too. we'll stay windy through this afternoon. the majority of that rain should have cleared away and we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. so here's your picture through this morning. any clear spells will be replaced by plenty of cloud, outbreaks of rain, some heavy bursts in that rain, and it will persist through this morning. now, by about one o'clock this afternoon, the majority of that rain will clear out to the east. it will stay windy, but we'll get some decent spells of sunshine. highs today of around 12—13, so with these temperatures, it is going to be feeling quite mild. and we'll start off on a dry note through this evening with clear spells. through the overnight period, more cloud will start to build with some showery outbreaks of rain. again in that rain, there could be some pretty hefty bursts and it will stay rather breezy. temperatures tonight will dip to around 9—11. so a mild start to our

new year's eve, but it will be rather unsettled. plenty more rain on the way, heavy at times, and it will stay rather windy. there's lots more on our website and social media including which pets are the most targeted by thieves. that's it from me. enjoy your morning. hello. this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. welcome back. sarah's here with the sport. many, many tributes from all sorts of people, notjust from football for pele today, but from all walks of life? ~ . for pele today, but from all walks oflife?~ ., .., , of life? we have politicians, we have film stars, _ of life? we have politicians, we have film stars, we _ of life? we have politicians, we have film stars, we have i of life? we have politicians, we have film stars, we have just i have film stars, we have just general punters, sportsjournalists, general punters, sports journalists, journalists, general punters, sportsjournalists, journalists, just people who loved football, loved pele because it was almost the first thing you learned about football when you were growing

up, wasn't it, about pele and his impact? the fact it was the only player so far to have won three world cups, the record goal—scorer over 1200, 77 for brazil. he won the world cup in 1958 and although he was injured in the 19 city to world cup, he was kicked out of the 66 world cup, very heavy tackles, but came back in 1972 win with brazil and some of the action you can see there. he was almost known for that miss the end, the greatest goals never to be scored as well because such was his mastery on the pitch, he was just a magician on it. such was his mastery on the pitch, he wasjust a magician on it. so everybody paying tribute to pele, the greatness of him. let's hear from gary lineker. well, pele is, of course, regarded as a legend, but he actually is a legend, certainly in football terms. he won three world cups and was

a major figure in doing those. one of the greatest players of all time. won his first world cup in 1958 when he was just 17 years old and scored a hat—trick in the semifinal and then two in the final, including one where he flicks it over his head, over a defender, and volleys it into the back of the net. he followed that up with success in '62 and then again in '70, the only player to win three world cups _ so i think it's very easy to explain why he's a legend. he's unquestionably one of the greatest football players that ever lived and you have to be a certain age, of course, and i'm one of those people that were lucky enough to see him. gary lineker with his memories there. sir bobby charlton played against pele for england. the 1966 world cup winner said, "pele was a truly magical footballer and a wonderful human being. it was an honour to have shared a pitch with him." brazilian star of the present neymar said that pele turned football into art, into entertainment, he gave voice to the poor.

and argentina's captain lionel messi simply wrote, "rest in peace, pele." all the tributes coming into pele whose died at the age of 82. itruthat all the tributes coming into pele whose died at the age of 82. what we need is someone _ whose died at the age of 82. what we need is someone who _ whose died at the age of 82. what we need is someone who met _ whose died at the age of 82. what we need is someone who met him i whose died at the age of 82. what we need is someone who met him and i whose died at the age of 82. what we i need is someone who met him and who knew him. that's what we need. yes, we've got one right here with us. dennis, very good morning to you. let's introduce you. in 1978, the former england international dennis tueart became the man to replace pele at the legendary new york cosmos. 1978, yeah, pele went over there in 1967~_ 1978, yeah, pele went over there in t967~ i_ 1978, yeah, pele went over there in 1967. i thought this is a good opportunity and i was only 28, still in the _ opportunity and i was only 28, still in the england squad but i fancy the pioneer— in the england squad but i fancy the pioneeriob— in the england squad but i fancy the pioneerjob and i went over there to si-n pioneerjob and i went over there to sign my— pioneerjob and i went over there to sign my forms and i was watching a video— sign my forms and i was watching a video of—

northern ireland and by the time it's cleared, an inch of rain in northern ireland. double that in scotland. snow in the mountains. the heaviest rain will be in the next few hours and then as a met office weather warning for heavy rain throughout this morning across dumfries and galloway and the borders and further flooding is possible. the rain becomes more intense for a time before it clears. heavy rain spreading through east anglia where you have been dry so far. it's an improving sort of day. into the afternoon, most places brighten up with sunshine around. fairly blustery on a windy day but there will be some showers across northern ireland, scotland and more persistent rain in the western isles, shetland where come into tonight, some very windy weather for a time could cause some damage and disruption. rain, sleet and snow. a brief gap before we seem more rain spread northwards across england and wales into scotland by the end of the night. temperatures close to freezing. an icy start to new year's eve across scotland where it will be

a cold day on new year's eve. rain initially in northern england, southern scotland, northern ireland, petering out, dry elsewhere but then more rain will work across england and wales from mid—to—late morning onwards. lingering until the end of the afternoon in east anglia and the south—east. quite a temperature contrast during the afternoon. 1a—15 in the south—east. barely above freezing for some in scotland. further wintry weather here. as we head up to the all—important final hour of 2022, let me run you through the graphics. rain in the south—east will temporarily clear. rain working northwards to england and wales and into southern scotland, northern ireland as we hit midnight, and the bells toll. it mayjust be clear of glasgow and edinburgh and belfast and sleet and snow to the north of that. best for starry skies though to see in 2023 will be the far north of scotland, parts of the midlands and the south i suspect, but it will be quite breezy and mild in the south. that's how it looks as we go

into the start of the brand—new year. low pressure out towards the west. rain around and some hill snow across parts of scotland for the first day. elsewhere, if you have got any plans to come out for a walk to clear your head, take something waterproof. plenty of showers around but equally a little bit of sunshine too and it will feel a bit cooler once again. that's how it's looking. back to once again. that's how it's looking. back to you once again. that's how it's looking. back to you both. once again. that's how it's looking. back to you both. thank once again. that's how it's looking. back to you both. thank you. once again. that's how it's looking. back to you both. thank you. i once again. that's how it's looking. back to you both. thank you. i don't know if you are listening to dennis talking about pele, he was sitting here, chatting because the stories are so good, someone who knew him directly. it's so lovely when you can talk to somebody like that. he was saying... goodbye. i'mjust going to shame of the audience because he was telling us, i will tell you. dennis was telling us he was only five foot eight and had thighs out to hear and could leap in the air like you wouldn't imagine. he knew where everybody was on the

pitch instantly. an incredible talented athlete. just sharing with you, that's all. i appreciated. thank you, charlie. we like to share. i bet he's got great stories. it's taken thousands of hours and more than 20 years. but now the dream of a group of retired aviation enthusiasts in scotland to build a world war one plane from scratch is closer than ever to taking flight. at the moment there are only two airworthy sopwith strutters in the world. if the team are successful, this will be the third. correspondent lorna gordon has been to take a look. these magnificent men and theirflying machine. for more than 20 years, these volunteers have spent much of their spare time in a cold hangar building a world war i plane. tighten that up again. they have dedicated thousands of hours to painstakingly constructing the sopwith strutter and now they are finally

fitting the propeller. brian, what's alan doing here? wire locking one bolt to the other one. it's purely a safety device — safety measure. for engineers used to working on more modern aircraft, this was an entirely new challenge. it's completely different. wood and canvas, which i knew nothing about, obviously. but we're getting there. do you guys have a laugh? 0h, every day we insult each other and get into each other. that's it. it's all part of this thing. yeah, yeah. it's fun. 0h, of course it is — it's great fun. it has to be. great fun and great friends. yes. if you could switch i on the power, please. as the plane was being built, friendships were too. there seems to be a great group of guys here as well. how do you feel about all this? oh, yeah, definitely. i mean, unfortunately, there's some of them passed away in the interim who were, again, really dedicated chaps. and we always keep them in mind. it's a bittersweet time. happy, but memories as well.

yes. oh, yes. well, we've always given them credit for what they did. you know, it was quite... i get quite emotional when i think about it, to be honest. this is not a museum piece. they want to fly it eventually, which means wheeling it out into the winter sunshine for a crucial test of its new propeller and engine. that's good. this is massive because the manpower to build something like this is enormous. it's a modern engine, but the rest of it is built exactly to the drawings, using the same tools, the same principles. it was made with hacksaws and files and planes, and it uses the same nuts and bolts and the same cables. so we haven't changed anything. clear. checks done, the engine has started.

the aim to reach full i power for the first time. the aim to reach full powerfor the first time. if they do, they'll go ahead and fit the wings. there are only two airworthy sopwith strutters in the world. the team are hoping this will be the third. very excited. it's... you know, so many people have put so many hours into it. it's very fulfilling. that's music to our ears. really? we waited for many years to use that lovely noise. to hear that lovely noise. purring beautifully. just a beautiful sound. beautiful sound. lovely to see and lovely to hear. these aviation enthusiasts have already started building a second aircraft and are hoping to attract a younger generation to their work. first, though, this long labour of love will finally take to the air. they're hoping that will happen within the next few months. yes! lorna gordon, bbc

news, east lothian. what a moment that will be for the team. would you fancy hopping on board? yes, with wings is my preference. yes, detail. 8.a9 is the time now. from a long—awaited mission to the moon, to the stunning new images from the world's most powerful telescope, it's been a big year for space exploration. our science editor rebecca morelle has been taking a look back at some of the biggest stories of 2022. and here we go. three. . .two. ..one. .. ..and lift—off of artemis 1. it was the start of the historic artemis mission. in november, nasa's new moon rocket was finally on its way. over the course of the next 26 days, the spacecraft performed a close flyby of the moon, capturing stunning images. and it flew far beyond further than any spacecraft built for humans. no people were on board this time, just mannequins covered in sensors. it was a test flight. the next step is to get astronauts on board and eventually [and them

on the lunar surface. i wanted to be an astronaut from the time that i was five years old. and, you know, for anybody that has a dream or some kind of aspiration, if they see somebody that they can identify with a little bit, it puts them into a totally different perspective where they can say, well, wait a minute, that person was just like me and they did it so i can do it too. finally, after traveling more than a million miles, it was time for the spacecraft to come home. and there it is. high over the pacific, america's new ticket to ride to the moon and beyond now in view. then splashdown. the artemis mission was complete. nasa's now poring over the data from the spacecraft to get ready for astronauts to take the next ride in two year's time. 2022 also saw the first astonishing new images captured by the james webb space telescope. these are the cosmic cliffs of the carina nebula. amidst the dust, stars are being born. there was a new view of the pillars of creation,

one of the most beautiful sights in the cosmos, and the deepest ever view of space. it's teeming with galaxies, some from just a few hundred million years after the dawn of the universe. we can look further back towards the origin of the universe so it can see the first stars and galaxies forming. and, amazingly, it can look into the atmospheres of planets around distant stars, trying to understand what those atmospheres are like. and possibly, who knows if you saw oxygen in a planet, the planetary atmosphere, you might be looking at photosynthesis on a planet beyond the solar system. this year, the european space agency also announced its new astronauts, and this included the first ever para—astronaut, john mcfall. he's a paralympian sprinter. his right leg was amputated above the knee after a motorbike accident. he was selected using exactly the same criteria as all european astronauts. the only difference is he has a disability.

i thought i would have the skills, a mix of skills and scientific background that i could really help them answer this very aspirational question of can we get someone with a physical disability into space to work in space safely? and i thought i could be that person. the red planet was also a focus this year. nasa's perseverance rover started the most important parts of its mission hunting for signs of life on mars. it's been drilling into the most promising rocks, collecting samples to look for signs of ancient martian microbes. and there was the first ever planetary defence test. these images were beamed back from seven million miles away as a nasa spacecraft approached an asteroid. this space rock wasn't a threat to the earth, but this was a test to see if it could be knocked off course by smashing into it. fantastic! 0h, fantastic. i definitely think that as far as we can tell, j i our first planetary defence test|

was a success and i think we can clap to that, everyone. so right? so yeah, i think earthlings should sleep better. i definitely i will. people working here are definitely going to sleep better. _ the targets of the spacecraft was a twin asteroid system. the crash into one of the rocks gave it a kick and altered its speed and orbit. today, this mission shows that nasa is trying to be ready for whatever the universe throws at us. so what's next for 2023? the uk should see its first space launch from british soil from cornwall. the rocket is attached to this jumbo jet and it will be released mid—flight. release, release, release. firing its engines to blast off, paving the way for another remarkable year of space exploration. rebecca morrell, bbc news.

we're joined now by the astrophysicist, dr emma alexander, from jodrell bank observatory. good morning to you. in many ways, this year hasn't been a vintage year, a lot of pain and misery, so it's exciting to see space exploration and the breakthroughs. what's the biggest one for this year? what's the biggest one for this ear? ., , , , . year? for me, the best things have been the data _ year? for me, the best things have been the data and _ year? for me, the best things have been the data and images - year? for me, the best things have been the data and images that - year? for me, the best things have. been the data and images that we've got from the james webb space telescope. it launched almost a year ago and since then, we have been getting some wonderful data, wonderful images from space, and it really is revolutionary, so that definitely been the highlight of 2022. ~ , , definitely been the highlight of 2022. y , ., ., ., definitely been the highlight of 2022. ~ , , ., ., ., it's 2022. why is it revolutionary? it's 'ust 2022. why is it revolutionary? it's just better — 2022. why is it revolutionary? it's just better than _ 2022. why is it revolutionary? it's just better than what _ 2022. why is it revolutionary? it's just better than what we - 2022. why is it revolutionary? it's just better than what we had - 2022. why is it revolutionary? it's i just better than what we had before so comparisons can be made to the hubble space telescope, which is another space telescope that we have had many beautiful images from over the years. butjames webb, it can see finer detail, has better

the launch of the juice mission which will look at some ofjupiter is moon's. we have got the return of an asteroid coming back to earth this year. there's all sorts really, but all these things we are expecting but what i also love is that they will be so many new things we weren't expecting, and that for me is the highlight of looking forward into discoveries, and we don't know what they will be. surprises from space. can you talk to us about the dark mission? so many disaster films been to us about the dark mission? so many disasterfilms been made to us about the dark mission? so many disaster films been made about it, it's kind of what kids think about when they first learn about space, meteorites and asteroids. can we sleep safer? i space, meteorites and asteroids. can we sleep safer?— we sleep safer? i can safely say that the mission _ we sleep safer? i can safely say that the mission itself, - we sleep safer? i can safely say that the mission itself, there i we sleep safer? i can safely say i that the mission itself, there was never any risk involved with it. one of the reasons why they targeted the system that they did was that there

was no worries of it going wrong. but it is a really important test of how we might be able to change the orbit of something in space. the objects we went to for this mission, they are in a middle ground of size, small enough that they can slip under the radar and they might be missed in detecting them, but they could be big enough to cause damage, so this is something that's really important for the long—term... if important for the long—term... if the time comes? we were discussing if there were worms in space just before we went live on the space station. we are not sure. i’m before we went live on the space station. we are not sure.- station. we are not sure. i'm not entirely certain _ station. we are not sure. i'm not entirely certain but _ station. we are not sure. i'm not entirely certain but i _ station. we are not sure. i'm not entirely certain but i would - station. we are not sure. i'm not. entirely certain but i would imagine that worms being on a space station would be something that would make sense. they do a lot of experiments
