while a minute's applause was held at all the grounds to remember brazilian football legend pele, who died this week. patrick gearey reports. rest in peace, pele, written in portuguese on the chest of a brazilian, in the heart of everyone. i love of football, the great man would surely have enjoyed arsenal this season. they were up just over a minute. while the world waits for a minute. while the world waits for a slide, this is a team that keeps surprising. it finished 4—2 and arsenal sit at the top of the leg at the start of 2023. once more they will begin the new year 7—point scale. so what of the chases? manchester city, the mid— had been a cheerful, a reunion forjack relish with a young fan who was the

0bviously obviously we will look ahead to 2023 and the big events everybody needs to mark in the calendar. we have the women bulk up and the lionesses go into that with a huge pressure after winning the euros. ireland wally funk for the first world cup which is really good. that qualifying for their first welcome. that would be their first welcome. that would be the focus of the summer. we have the cricket world cup, t20 women's world cup, the world cup in france. the rider in italy. an others as well so pretty big events coming up for the next year. i know we had a pack year but this will be big also. you next year. i know we had a pack year but this will be big also.— but this will be big also. you did one of those _ but this will be big also. you did one of those reviews? _ but this will be big also. you did one of those reviews? it - but this will be big also. you did one of those reviews? it was -

picture of a boiler in black and white on television and the dream just crumbled. i switched my career to banking and started searching for a way to go. i was not sure how i was going to get to titanic but i knew i had to go. i'm not a millionaire. i have been saving money for a long, long time. i made a lot of sacrifices in my life to be able to go to titanic. i do not have able to go to titanic. i do not have a car, i do not have children, did not get married, all those decisions have all been because i wanted to go to titanic. when i met him, i told him, here is my money and he said, wait a him, here is my money and he said, waita minute, we him, here is my money and he said, wait a minute, we have not even built the sub. applause.

just quick orientation for the sub. this is a forward dome, which opens and closes. we have the pressure hole in the centre — that's 5—inch thick carbon fibre. vertical and horizontal thrusters you can see there. i like to tell people, "this is not your grandfather's "submarine." it's got one button, and that's it. yeah, so we run the sub with this game controller. it's made by logitech but it's basically a sony playstation—style controller. if you want to go forward, you press forward. if you want to go back, you press back. if you want to turn to the left, it's like that. you want to turn to the right, you turn to the right. test at 12 volts. go ahead. i started off with a partly finished home—build sub that i'd built myself. then i formed the business and acquired a sub that we modified heavily and sort of figured out what we wanted. then we made the first level prototype of this which was cyclops i, that was very similar but was a steel hull

that already existed, but it had some of the similar electronics. and then, this was the ultimate version that we always wanted. so, just another additional backup. it's a miracle it can do - what it does when you look at it there, because| when you look at it, it is very small. it looks like it's put together with pieces of string. - but it's not, obviously. but it's exciting. - in general, the biology theme is one of documenting biodiversity — that hasn't been done well on this wreck. there's sort of a race to try to understand the deep sea, which is largest environment in the oceans and the most poorly explored. here, we're trying to give that experience, check off your box to see the titanic but, at the same time, contribute to something that has

a wider application. so, this is pretty typical of what we saw on the dive. you can see this black igneous rock, but look at the number of sponges, and that's what really hit us right away. i was asked by 0ceangate to be the chief scientist of their expeditions. that involves organising a science team and establishing long—term monitoring stations on the wreck. the deep sea drives the earth's climate. most of the oxygen that's produced comes from marine plankton, so changes in the ocean have a huge impact over the whole globe. the team always says, you know, there's no guarantee you're

gonna see the bow, there's no guarantee you're gonna get down there because there are so many variables, you know. some are man—made, some are nature, sometimes it's both put together. i was able to join their expedition last year. we took the dive and dove for about two hours and maybe 15 minutes or so. i heard we got within like two football fields of the titanic, and then suddenly stockton says, "oh, we got to turn around." and at first i thought he was joking because we were over two hours into our expedition and so close to the bottom. but then he explained one of the batteries kind of went kaput and we were having trouble using the electronic drops for the weights, so it would be hard for us to get back up to the surface. the stakes were quite high at that point. i was really intrigued with, like, ok, so we can't get to the site tonight, what are our options? we had discussed actually staying, just sleeping at the bottom of the ocean

in the submersible. we have special weights on the submersible that will dissolve after 2a hours, so they would just drop off and then we would be able to get up to the surface. that's one option. we're down here for another 16 to 2a hours. we will drift down, we will hit the bottom. we will have communications, we can talk to them. i'm fine with staying here. it's your call, stockton. it's only if...renata and jaden, mostly. yeah, well. yeah, i'm fine with staying down here. i was all about sleeping in the submersible overnight. i think me and someone else were, but then the other half of the crew were not as happy about that. are you still pumping? yeah. what do you have, pressure wise? 58. somehow stocktown managed to hydraulic pump it manually so gently that it was able to slowly release the weights. wait a second. we are starting to come up. we are? yeah. ok. we're definitely coming up. i think you did it, -

stockton, you 98% did it. hey, there's some luck here! high five! high five on my count, yes, here we go. ok, maybe a win—win. maybe. yeah, or maybe they want... this is why you want your pilot to be an engineer. l it's an open book here, if you have any questions about what's going on, about acoustic monitoring, about carbon fibre, problems we had, rumours of problems we had, actual problems we had, you know, feel free to ask me, we're happy to show everything. we want everyone going into this fully informed. this is an experimental sub, this is dangerous environment, it's 6000 psi. very few people have been down there, and so we want to make sure that you're going in with an open eye and understand what's going on. if you don't want to do it at any time, feel free to say, "hey, i want to take a pass," and we can work something out. you know, maybe bring you another year or something else. but i really want to make sure that you're aware of all this. on a mission four, when we got to the surface —

scott was piloting — we hear a really loud bang, not a soothing sound. no. but on the surface, as the inaudible will attest, almost every deep diving sub makes a noise at some point. i don't know. i don't have expectations of how i'm going to feel. i know when i think about it, i cry, so there will probably be a lot of crying when i'm down there. um, but i don't know, we'll see. every night before a dive, everyone gets together and draws on some of these styrofoam cups. they attach them to the submersible before they do the dive and go down. and when they go underwater, they are under lots of pressure and they compress. and when they come up we have all these little, tiny mini cups. so i think everyone does a bunch and brings them back to their friends and family as a little souvenir. so, my alarm just went off.

it's about 3:30 in the morning. we're supposed to be on the back deck by 4am to start the process of loading up and everything. so, it's not very often i wake up this early but it seems worth it for today. i was pretty grumpy waking up at 3:30, but when i think about the passengers who might've also have woken up really early to catch their horse and carriage, or whatever, to take them to the dock, it made me feel like a kinship with them and also kind of grounded me

in what i was doing. the dome is open and i step up into the sub, um, you know, i get chatting with the fellow passengers — which is probably what the titanic passengers did, as they all kind of boarded at the same time. alright, happy day. i know i'm going to be seasick, so i sort of commandeered the front of it so that i can get to the port hole, and then the dome slowly, slowly closes in front of me, and i have this moment of, like — this is the point of no return. i am not claustrophobic by any means but in that moment, i'm like, well, if there was any point to freak out, now would be the point to freak out.

and i sort of did a — i do a gut check with myself, and i say, "nope, not freaking out." i'm actually excited. the — the — i think the nerves in the stomach was not of anxiety, it was of excitement. we are overall comfortable, here in the sub. we've got the scrubber on, oxygen is flowing. and we are standing by for vacuum. in the last 35 years, i did 37 dives to the titanic. each expedition, you can see more and more. here, for example, the deck of the ship collapsed on each other and step by step they disappeared, and we can see through the deck. of course, the deterioration is bad,

but at the same time, the wreck is like a sanctuary for the marine life. we're just in limbo now. just at the beginning of the roller—coaster. no turning back now. it is always interesting to get on the outside of the sub. you spend most of the time diving on the inside the sub, so it is a different tempo out here, different things happening. if we have a contaminated atmosphere here, we've got some smoke hoods. those are located directly below jaden, and we'll be getting those out and put them on as needed if we have a contaminated atmosphere. if you smell anything in the sub, weird, let me know immediately. no two launches or recoveries are the same.

there is always something different. and that's the problem — there's so much that can go wrong. it feels just like a ride at disneyland. this is part of the experience. you know, blake is a super—solid diver. i don't worry about him one bit. and communication — he'll get you all communicating. should i worry about you? i haven't had another bad recovery. i worry about him when he is not in the water. i worry about him when he's breathing surface air. i'm sure — not only i but the other people with me — will have mixed emotions when we go down. you're bound to have mixed emotions. i'd say quite strongly so.

it is in irish folklore, for want of a better word, you know, it was built in ireland, it was the biggest ship in the world, it was incredible and it was its maiden voyage. i mean, it perished on its maiden voyage, effectively. you know, so it's — it's, yeah, very poignant. you've got to think of those people. there were a lot of people — irish, english, from all over the world — and, you know, it's sad, there's no doubt that it's tinged with sadness. all stations are reporting the dive is a go. please, stand by. soft music plays. the sub is in the water.

machine beeps.

soft music plays. i — to be honest, i'm so... ijust need to get there.

even if it's just the debris field, i'll be very happy with just paying my respects in the debris field. for about 2.5 hours, we see nothing but darkness and then all of a sudden, you see the earth come up to you and it does feel like it is coming up to you, because you're descending so quickly. seeing the natural bottom of the ocean come up at you was sort of spectacular. we saw plates. a plate just came out — a big dinner plate, just sitting there on its own. then we saw a wash hand basin

with the taps still attached. and we were only about 300 metres, apparently, from the wreck. is something going on with my thrusters? um, i'm thrusting and nothing's happening. i don't know what's going on. one is thrusting forward, one of the thrusters is thrusting backwards right now. so, the only thing i can do right now is a 360. we're literally 300 metres from titanic and although we are in the debris field, we can't go anywhere but go in circles. oh, my god...

while firework displays have been marking the start of the new year across much of the uk, they didn't go quite as planned in scarborough. the seaside town's main display was called off at the last minute due to concerns for an arctic walrus which showed up on the harbour. let's talk more about this now with rspca inspector geoff edmond. good morning to you. we are grateful to you for taking the time. explain how the walrus ended up in scarborough and what an impact he had? yes, well indeed. thor arrived in scarborough harbour late on friday evening decided to rest on one of the slipways in the harbour attracting a lot of interest, we had the police and people want to see him understandably but he wanted to rest, we know thor was in southampton in early december, he swung between early december and

this weekend who knows. but wanted to spend the weekend in scarborough. he was watched in wanted and half past four yesterday afternoon he swam back out to sea hope he is safe and well in the marine environment. who knows where he will pop up next? we saw him in southampton and with much excitement in scarborough yesterday? much excitement in scarborough esterda ? . much excitement in scarborough yesterday?— much excitement in scarborough esterda ? , ., , ., ., yesterday? these walruses are a long wa from yesterday? these walruses are a long way from where _ yesterday? these walruses are a long way from where they _ yesterday? these walruses are a long way from where they should - yesterday? these walruses are a long way from where they should be i yesterday? these walruses are a long way from where they should be we i way from where they should be we hope he is heading back north, we have had been three we have been made aware of around the british isles in recent times, it's very unusual, i've never seen one before and never expected to see one one of the many rescues we get called to do, we are working with other partners to make sure he was safe. why he chose scarborough i don't know it is a nice seaside resort so he was most welcome. you mentioned other rescues —

rescues that we do we are a rescue organisation that is out there to help animals, it is an honour and privilege to do it to help the public who report them to us and get them to assist the animal whatever it may do, domestic or wildlife. interestingly talk about the fox and animals do the strangest things, but there is a serious point to it, we saw while you were talking a photo of a fox with its head stuck in a tin can, presumably that is letter, it has become trapped in, there is a serious point for all of us here to try to help wildlife around us by not chucking stuff away like that. the reason that is quite a serious issues we conduct with many issues of animals caught in the letter, you think about the foxes, they are a nocturnal animal, they are looking forfood, this nocturnal animal, they are looking for food, this sense of smell is a

lot greater than ours any traces of food left in the camp they will get ahead start, we really need to think about disposing of which are ostensibly and responsibly and not leaving it in the situation where it could cause entrapment to an animal. what is the strangest one you have been called to? ii what is the strangest one you have been called to?— what is the strangest one you have been called to? if you asked me that a cou-le been called to? if you asked me that a couple of — been called to? if you asked me that a couple of days _ been called to? if you asked me that a couple of days ago _ been called to? if you asked me that a couple of days ago lots _ been called to? if you asked me that a couple of days ago lots of- a couple of days ago lots of examples, i would have to say the memory of the walrus. i'm examples, i would have to say the memory of the walrus.— memory of the walrus. i'm sure everybody _ memory of the walrus. i'm sure everybody in — memory of the walrus. i'm sure everybody in scarborough i memory of the walrus. i'm sure everybody in scarborough will. everybody in scarborough will remember that and he was in southampton with popped up earlier in the month. this southampton with popped up earlier in the month-— in the month. this is a very rare occurrence. _ in the month. this is a very rare occurrence, when _ in the month. this is a very rare occurrence, when we _ in the month. this is a very rare occurrence, when we have i in the month. this is a very rare occurrence, when we have got l in the month. this is a very rare} occurrence, when we have got a walrus or arctic or us to shortages, we are on alert, organisations do the police and coastguards in seabird, to prevent and look at it not been disturbed, we know there is a likelihood we will turn up but we

cold, wet. but content, happy. i've done myjob. bell rings. i've run 365 marathons and it looks like we've raised £1 million so, yeah, i'm happy. job done? job done. i always said that the running sort of finished yesterday. today was about completing what people didn't think i would complete. 11i mile in, absolute soaked to the skin. every day in 2022, he laced up his trainers and ran 26.2 miles. are you the marathon man? not stopping for rain, ice, heat waves... nice to see you with a big smile on your face on this red—hot day! ..not even christmas! jazzy music plays. cheering and applause. dozens of people gathered in the cold on new year's eve to make sure gary got a proper send—off on his final marathon. are you ready?

three, two, one... go! cheering and applause. gary set his sights on raising £1 million for two charities — macmillan cancer support and hospice at home west cumbria. bell rings. horns play the final countdown by europe. gary'sjust a phenomenon. he's fundraised for macmillan for 20 years now and he always goes one better every challenge he does, and the money he'as raised isjust amazing and we couldn't have provided a lot of the services that we do without the support of gary. cheering and applause. his final marathon a victory lap and a chance to thank all those people who've helped him. tea ? at the halfway point, stopping for one of bill's brews. every day, bill and janet have greeted the tired runners with a cup of tea 13 miles into theirjourney.

there've been some very difficult days — janet will tell you that. she's been wiping the tears from my eyes, watching him battle through it, you know, just in his usual stoic manner. absolutely incredible. it wasn't a given by any means, this. a lot of people, i think, think "oh, it's just that gary mckee doing another marathon," and he suffers from, you know, the success and reputation he's built up, but this one's just off—scale. the daring challenge has inspired people both at home and far afield, somejoining him for the run, others spurring him on. i grew up with gary — i was born on the same street as him, i've known him all my life. he's a very, very determined man, extremely determined. very selfless as well. and he's absolutely driven to help other people.

gary's a local legend and just to know that there's this many people supporting him is beautiful. it's absolutely fantastic. he's inspired the whole of west cumbria to run. he's a machine, he's an absolute legend, and he should be knighted. this has been a challenge notjust for gary but his whole family, putting aside holidays and trips to support or take part in his incredible achievements. really proud. i don't even have words to explain. there probably isn't even words to explain it. i'm, like, speechless. it's unbelievable how many people come tojust support him and be behind him and see him finish. as a new year begins, gary's calendar is emptier than it was at the start of 2022. i'm looking forward to a big cooked breakfast in the morning. we've got an event in the rugby club behind us and we're going to have a good time. applause. it would make sense for gary's new year resolution to include a well—deserved rest but the last 365 days, 365 marathons, have shown you should never say never where the marathon man is concerned. abi smitton, bbc news. garyjoins us now.

what i needed to do to get through it. there were some difficult periods and i picked up a bit of injury so i had to slow myself down. anybody looking at my times, the first six months my marathons were all running around three hours 45 minutes so i was pretty quick but by slowing down it meant more people could join me at the time i finished were nearly 200 people had done a full marathon distances with me, some for the first time so it's incredible to see what we have brought hopefully sustained in west cumbria. a lot of people about running because of what we have done. it wasjust running because of what we have done. it was just running. running because of what we have done. it wasjust running. is, running because of what we have done. it wasjust running. done. it was 'ust running. a master of done. it wasjust running. a master of understatement. _ done. it wasjust running. a master of understatement. you _ done. it wasjust running. a master of understatement. you mentioned j of understatement. you mentioned picking up an injury. i suppose in a normal situation your body and everybody around you will say take a couple of days off, t lap and then go back. you didn't do that. —— let

to come as well as lots more reflections of celebrations of the new year around the world. thank you for watching and for one final time, happy new year.

hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson. thank you for staying with us on the bbc news channel. pope francis will address worshippers in st peter's square this morning, a day after the death of his predecessor, benedict xvi. preparations are under way for his funeral on thursday, which the vatican says will be simple, solemn and sober. our correspondent bethany bell joins us now from rome. bethany, what can we expect to happen in the coming days? well, tomorrow morning, the body of

pope benedict will be brought to saint peters basilica, and it will lie in state so that the public can, and pay their respects to the former pope benedict. then, of course, preparations will be under way for the funeral on thursday, which will be presided over by pope francis himself. this is new territory for the church. pope benedict's biographer told the bbc that this will be the first time that is sitting pope will preside over the funeral of his predecessor. we have heard tributes pouring into pope benedict from all around the world. yesterday, pope francis called benedict a noble, kind man. but, the reactions to him have been mixed, and survivors of the sexual abuse

scandals that have rocked the church have said that pope benedict's legacy was tarnished by the way he handled those sex abuse scandals by priests around the world. a complicated legacy for a man who was very much an upholder of the conservative, traditional doctrines of the catholic church. he's spoken out and vote abortion, homosexuality, as opposed to pope francis. many will be looking to see how pope francis acts no that his predecessor is no longer there, there are no longer two men in white in the vatican at the same time. thank you very much. preparations are under way for the funeral of pope benedict xvi, who died

yesterday. sarah is here with the sport. normally on an new year's de we are looking forward to football. we can see the arsenal team celebrating a big win for them in the new year. we were chatting in the last error saying, mikel arteta was under all sorts of pressure last year, and the work is done with this arsenal team, they are genuine contenders, he is trying to play that down. everybody is waiting for them to slip up in this title race, for they have not so far. so a very good year, or start to the year for arsenal and theirfans.

it's a happy new year for arsenal who have a 7—point lead at the top of the premier league going into 2023, after a 4—2 win at brighton. it came after manchester city dropped points against everton — while a minute's applause was held at all the grounds to remember brazilian football legend pele, who died this week. patrick gearey reports. rest in peace, pele, written in portuguese on the chest of a brazilian in the hearts of everyone. a lover of football as well as a master of it, the great man would surely have enjoyed this season's arsenal. bukayo saka put them ahead against brighton afterjust over a minute. while the world waits for a slide, this is the team that keeps surprising. martin odegaard made it 2—0. it finished 4—2 and arsenal sit at the top of the league at the start of 2023. what's more, they will

begin the new year seven points clear. so what of the chasers at manchester city? earlier, the mood had been cheerful. a reunion forjack grealish with finlay fisher, the young fan who was the inspiration for this celebration. and grealish was involved in the move which would end up almost inevitably in erling haaland scoring his 21st league goal of the season, celebrated without choreography. but everton held out against further damage and then almost from nothing. demarai gray produced a spectacular change of course, a thumping jolt to city, a more gradual drain of momentum for in—form newcastle at a soak st james's park. they couldn't find a way past leeds, but finish 2022 in third. manchester united were hoping to go fourth, but the molineux bench was acting as the naughty step for marcus. rashford dropped as he'd overslept and turned up late for a meeting. his manchester united team—mates were a little drowsy themselves in the first half against wolves,

so at half time rashford came out of the doghouse and onto the pitch, and when it mattered, he was in the right place at the right time. still, rashford! i woke up and fell asleep. but like i said, it can it can happen. and it's important not tojust draw a line under it. i don't have a lot of complaints, don't really want to make a thing out of it. it's not. three points earned. lesson learned. we know what his new year's resolution will be. patrick gearey, bbc news. chelsea manager graham potter says his side have gone through a "real tough period" as they look to close the gap on the champions league places later. they would move to within five points of fourth if they win at nottingham forest. potter's chelsea lost three consecutive games before the world cup break, but came back with a win over bournemouth. ajob andi ajob and i was a job and i was trying to ajob and i was trying to many people back as we can. it has been a real tough period, as challenging as it has been in my time as a coach.

we are at chelsea, and people don't want to hear of the reasons or excuses. you have to get on with it, try your best, and find the answers. in rugby union, saracens also go into the new year with a big lead — they're 10 points clear at the top of the premiership, after a comprehensive win over rivals exeter. alex lewington scored the bonus—point—winning fourth try as they won 35—3, their biggest ever victory over exeter. owen farrell providing that magical pass. so sarries head into 2023 top of the league with only one defeat in their opening eleven matches. and a santiago carreras penalty after 80 minutes gave gloucester a thrilling 8—6 victory over london irish. elsewhere bath beat newcastle 24—16. that is the rugby. we have lots to look forward to in rugby in the new year, if we are looking ahead at all the big sporting events we have the

rugby world cup in france a bit later this year. france, rugby world cup in france a bit laterthis year. france, of rugby world cup in france a bit later this year. france, of course, in great form. they are hosting it, they have really change their fortunes. that is the rugby world cup, which will be really good to see. it will be interesting to see how the cognitions get on. a big summerfor those how the cognitions get on. a big summer for those following the lionesses in the summer. a lot will be keeping their eyes open early in the morning, because it is in australia and new zealand. a lot of expectations for that. those are two big sporting events to look forward to in 2023. today marks 250 years since the hymn amazing grace was first performed. the words were written for a new year's day service in a small church in buckinghamshire. now, a museum is calling for people across the globe to join together to create one of the biggest singalongs ever undertaken.

harry farley reports. # amazing grace, how sweet the sound # that saved a wretch like me.# in milton keynes, a church choir is rehearsing one of the most popular hymns of the last 200 years. # was blind but now i see.# i first heard it in gikuyu in my language, and it's a song of redemption, a song that says anybody can come as they are, that god loves me regardless. and the way it comes out through in my language isjust like, i feel special. amazing grace became an anthem of the civil rights movement. in 2015, former president obama used

it for his speech at the funeral of the reverend clementa pinckney, who was shot in a racially motivated attack in charleston in may. # amazing grace # how sweet the sound.# it was here at this church in buckinghamshire thatjohn newton wrote the words to amazing grace for his new year's day service in 1773. before joining the priesthood, newton was notorious as the captain of several slave ships in barbaric conditions. he transported people from west africa to be sold in the caribbean before he had what he said was a dramatic conversion. the local museum in olney is hosting an exhibition to mark the anniversary. it's all about hope. and you look at the words ofjohn newton, he talks about the desperate situation of his life and how he ultimately found grace. and to me, that says that

however bad life may seem, there's always hope that you can turn it around. and i think therein, for a large part of the population who aren't even particularly religious, that for them has a meaning. but for others, john newton's background as a slave trader hangs over the anniversary. i know that my great—grandmother was an enslaved person, taken out of africa and taken down to guyana. this was what my ancestors had to go through in order to build a colony somewhere in some other country. it saddens me and it fills me with a tremendous amount of grief and remorse. so this hymn is talking about as a slave trader, feeling forgiven. do you feel able to forgive him? no. i find it very difficult. very, very difficult. # amazing grace.

# how sweet the sound.# 250 years on, this hymn's themes of forgiveness and grace are as challenging as ever. harry farley, bbc news. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. happy new year, what a start to the new year it is. if i show you this chart, it shows you how temperatures compare with the norm for this time of year. but as we have blue colours to the north of the uk, things were colder here, but across the heart of europe the dark reds. it was a record—breaking end to 2022 for some, particularly in belgium and poland. notice today, temperatures sum up to about 15 or 16 degrees above where they should be at this time of year. that warmth

continues for the first few days of 2023 as well. the temperature contrast for us starting to even out during the next 24 hours, silver colder air to the north of scotland helping snow to fall across the high ground of central and northern scotland. icy conditions as well, an area of heavy and at times thundery rain to wales and north—west england. that will push eastwards into other parts of northern england. some heavy showers to the north—east which were gradually clear way. still some showers across the areas that have been affected at the areas that have been affected at the moment. a cloudy day in northern ireland and scotland, although the rain and sleet and snow is starting to turn patchy and brighter in the north—west. temperatures in scotland above freezing, but around 12 to 13 celsius in the south—east. some rain

in the channel islands and the south—east of england. a few showers tossed around elsewhere, becoming more confined to the south—east of scotland and northern england. any skies here, ice also where we see temperatures planet below freezing. still relatively male in the south—east, but no where near as mild as it has been. a ridge of high pressure builds in on monday, that will turn things a bit quieter across the uk compared to what we had. but, slightly colder air will be towards the south from the milder conditions return. on monday in southern scotland and northern england will see plenty cloud, a few showers towards west of scotland, but free most of you on monday it is a great day to go out and clear the excess from the head of christmas and new year. a little on the fresh side.

it's almost a year since russia's invasion of ukraine which changed the lives of so many. invasion of ukraine among those who fled the conflict were a troupe of more than 70 displaced ballet dancers. they are now living and training together at the former royal conservatoire in the dutch capital, the hague. our correspondent kate vandy has been to visit them. moving gracefully around the stage, you wouldn't know these performers had recently fled war. when russia began its invasion of ukraine last year many feared it would be the end of their careers. svetlana was one of them. i didn't have work and i was trying to find the job and then i found this place and came here and i start to feel myself really, really good like before i didn't want to do ballet and was depressed and had no inspiration for life. svetlana fled ukraine shortly after war broke out,

leaving her entire family behind. she thinks all ukrainians have a battlefield now and the stages is hers. i try to enjoy the stage and give dance and energy to people, but most important is to help our country to recover, to help ukraine and people who really need help. in this way i'm trying to help our country. she is one of more than 70 displaced dancers who make up the united ukrainian ballet, an ngo founded to protect and spread a culture that has been threatened by this conflict. it is a little room but i love it. fellow dancer valeria is grateful for the possibility to be living and training here at the hague. translation: the war is a big | tragedy not only because people are dying, but also for me, and the big tragedy is a lot of talented artist will not have a chance to realise

themselves on stage. to do what they were born for. valeria hasjust finished touring swan lake, a ballet by russian composer tchaikovsky. some of the groups' dancers refused to perform it, while others like valeria take it to the stage with new meaning. translation: | express | myself through the dance, my feelings, my spirit of resistance to something i can't necessarily influence, but i have to react to what is happening somehow, a protest dance. and it's clear to see that for all these ballerinas, their dance is no longer just one of performance, it's now one of defiance. kate vandy, bbc news. that's all from breakfast this morning, a very happy new year from all of us. we'll be back tomorrow from six, but we'll leave you with click as it celebrates the 100 year anniversary of the bbc. goodbye.

today we are literally stepping into history. we are at alexandra palace and this place has seen it all. that's the studio in there. 2022 marks 100 years of the bbc. goodness me. what began with a single radio transmission has transformed into a global broadcaster. in that time, it has covered the biggest events of successive generations, working to inform, educate and entertain the nation. and throughout those hundred years, the bbc has been pushing the boundaries of broadcasting, embracing and sometimes even creating the latest technology.

100 years of broadcasting — it is amazing when you think of it. you don't look a day over 30. and this studio in alexandra palace has a very special place in bbc history. in 1936, the bbc television service was launched right here on this spot. performers and orchestra would have been here. and a huge camera here! she sings and what viewers saw was this. this is adele dixon performing with the bbc television orchestra. she is singing a song called television, which was written especially for the opening night of... ..television. it was broadcast to viewers across london and the home counties through the transmitter on alexandra palace, marking the beginning of what was then referred to as high definition television. yeah, don't laugh. before that, television was just an odd fuzzy experiment to small selected audiences.

and behind—the—scenes there was a bit of a battle going on. see, the bbc had actually opened up two studios at alexandra palace. this, studio b was a mechanical system which was made byjohn logie baird and it produced an image like this. meanwhile, in studio a, they were trialling an electrical system by em! and what they would do is they would alternate studios and systems on different days so they could compare the results and it turned out that emi's images at 25 frames per second were double the quality of the baird system. it had other advantages too. the baird camera was enormous. the emi one was somewhat more portable. and if you are filming with the baird system, you need quite a lot of make—up too. well, this is how it was, playmates. black and white, you see? and a bit of blue down each side of the nose.

very sexy. the emi system on the other hand could capture a well lit studio perfectly fine, so the winner really wasn't hard to choose. under the lid of the emitron was this, a cathode—ray tube which is basically an old tv working in reverse, capturing the pictures instead of showing them. the emitron stayed in use without much change for many, many years. the coronation of king george vi was the first time the cameras were used outside and the broadcast was watched by about 50,000 viewers. we have got two of our cameras high up and the gate ourselves. _ however, it was the coronation of his daughter that really brought television into our homes. 70 years later, many millions of us watched the queen's funeral on smart tvs, phones, laptops, or on huge screens around the country, demonstrating just how far technology has moved on.

now, if you are a fan of radio, i mean, really a fan of radio, then you will know what this is. pips they are called the pips, and when you hear them, you will know it is something o'clock. i find them quite soothing. but have you ever wondered why they exist? ships. the pips tell ships what time it is and help them navigate. at the height of the british empire, britain had a lot more ships than anyone else anywhere in the world and their maps all needed to follow a strict format so they could figure out where they were. the centre of all british nautical charts was the greenwich meridian, 0 degrees, and each vessel also kept a fancy clock on board that told the local time at the meridian and helped them to calculate their position really precisely. but over long journeys, how could the captains keep those

clocks accurate to the second? well, to bring in the new year in 1923, the bbc ran an experiment to broadcast the midnight bongs of big ben on the radio. big ben bongs it was a bonging success, and the following year the first fully accessible time signal, the greenwich time signal, started to be broadcast every hour — and it hasn't stopped since. the pips, as they were known, were generated by a swinging pendulum fitted with electrical contacts. so now you could have accurate greenwich mean time literally anywhere that you had a radio. the pips have become legendary, a symbol of bbc radio, and who better to tell us about them than another legend of bbc radio, tony blackburn. archive: welcome along i to the tony blackburn show this morning for this tuesday 9th december. my thanks, as always tojohn dunn for swinging us up until the seven o'clock hour.

the pips have always been a favourite of mine since 1967 when ijoined the bbc and opened up radio 1. archive: good morning everyone, welcome to the exciting _ new sound of radio 1. everybody else finds it a bit weird that i like them but i do. i love them. on my programmes, i used to promote them, particularly as my favourite pip is always the last one because it is slightly extended. the original clock that kept the time still sits in the museum at the royal observatory. in the '60s, though, an atomic clock started doing the job which stayed in use until the 1990s, when it transmitted its last pips from the royal observatory. ever since then, the bbc has generated its own pips from its atomic clock buried deep inside broadcasting house which uses gps signals to stay synchronised. so the next time you hear these, you know that they come from this.

meanwhile at manchester's science and industry museum, 100 years of the bbc is being celebrated with an exhibit featuring broadcast artefacts, plus a few more recent additions. this funky—looking box was a prototype which was an early part of the bbc�*s research and development project for storing your data yourself, so the idea was that the device would keep track of what you are listening to and watching, but that data was just yours, unless you chose for it not to be. it was inspired by a new vision that sir tim berners—lee has for the web, to rethink the ownership of our data. back in 2018, he told us about what he calls a mid—course correction for the internet, an idea called solid. instead, imagine a world where before you use an app it says to you, where do you want to store this data? all across the data spectrum. you have complete control over your private and personal data,

which is very exciting, an exciting vision, i think for those people who get an inkling of what it's going to be like. right now when we interact with companies over the internet, often without even thinking about it, we give them our data — lots of it. every website, app or streaming platform gathers information on us — our name and age, what we like to share, ourfiles, photos, all of our online browsing habits. platforms use this data to create recommendations, improve algorithms, or sometimes just for the purpose of selling it. but tim berners—lee�*s idea turns this on its head, giving power back to the individual. with solid, as users travel across the internet, all their data is stored in something called a pod. this is an individual�*s data bank in the cloud which only they, or those they give permission to, can see.

so instead of the data freely flowing to companies when they want to access it, they have to ask for the user's permission. if this is approved, they can look into the pod to view or add information. with pods, because you are in control, you can share what you have watched or listened to on one platform with the others, something the companies would never want you to be doing, but it means you could get more personalised recommendations. and if you want to stop using a service, you can cut off access to your data. or you could, even more dramatically, delete the pod, destroy all the data, and remove all trace of anything you have ever done on the internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, but it is not a ridiculously huge endeavour. what is exciting right now is just at the point when we should be broadcasting this, we now have also a start—up, inrupt. four years on, it is a reality with bbc r&d working with inrupt

to bring it to life. charlie, you have invited me to a party but it is no ordinary party. no, no, it's not. it is bbc together, it's a watch party, but the particular difference here is your data is being protected in a new way. watch parties allow friends to stream the same content at the same time, and they have exploded in the last few years. something like a third of under 30s actually had a watch party in the last 12 months, and it is really growing, so we have kind of built on the bbc�*s watch party and added the data pod element to it. as users log in, behind—the—scenes the software creates a pod for each person. here we go. and when you stop watching, this bbc trial shows you what data has been collected. we couldn't do a watch party without storing some data about you. the difference here is we are storing that data away from us,

in your pod that you control. solid is just one of many ideas aiming to help us own our data. others, even allowing us to sell it, have failed to take off at scale — maybe the incentives haven't been right. but that could change. bbc r&d and tim berners—lee certainly think it might, and they have both been right before. so there you have it, 100 years of the bbc in 11 minutes. if you would like 100 years of the bbc in 23 minutes, the full—length version of this programme is available for you right now on iplayer. we will be back next week. thanks for watching. see you.
