good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today... patients at risk and some a&e departments in a "complete state of crisis" — that's the warning from a group of senior emergency care doctors as the nhs battles extreme winter pressures. two men charged with the murder of footballer cody fisher will appear at birmingham magistrates�* court today. after a tough couple of years for the travel industry, airlines and travel agents are hoping for a new year boost, as people start planning their summer holidays. i'll be finding out if now is the best time to snap up a good deal. the pressure increases on tottenham boss antonio conte —

spurs lose to aston villa, and have now won only two of their past seven matches. good morning. and happy new year. today is a cold start for many. it will be a sunny one when we lose the showers. the outlook for the rest of the week remains fairly changeable. details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday, january 2nd. senior doctors are warning that some a&e departments are in a "complete state of crisis" because of the extreme pressures facing the nhs this winter. the royal college of emergency medicine says it's impossible to provide the best standard of care, and there is no doubt that patients are being harmed. louisa pilbeam has the details. patients lying in a&e corridors... ...ambulance delays, and staff who say they're at breaking point,

and surging flu cases, all at a critical time for the nhs. the diagnosis from a leading emergency care doctor? unless there's more investment in services, patients are at risk. there is no doubt that when we are trying to treat frail, vulnerable, elderly patients on trolleys in corridors, they are bound to come to harm, and there is absolutely bound to be an association with unnecessary deaths as a result. these are human beings in the middle of this. meanwhile, the president of the royal college of emergency medicine, dr adrian boyle, told times radio he estimates those unnecessary debts deaths could reach between 300 and 500 every week. in december, a&e waiting times and ambulance response times hit their worst levels on record across the uk. in november 2021, just under 11,000 people waited more than 12 hours in a&e in england for a decision on being admitted. by november this year, that figure had leapt

tojust under 38,000. senior doctors in scotland and wales have made similar warnings about hospitals under pressure. the government say they recognise the pressures, and say they are providing £1“ billion in additionalfunding for health and social care over the next two years, and an extra £500 million to try to free up hospital discharges and hospital beds. cheering. however, these warnings come as nhs staff prepared to take further action over pay with more strikes by ambulance workers and nurses planned this month. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. two men will appear in court today, charged with the murder of cody fisher, who was killed at a nightclub in birmingham on boxing day. zoe conway reports. 23—year—old cody fisher was a semi—professional footballer who played for bromsgrove sporting, stourbridge, and stratford town football clu bs.

just before midnight on boxing day, police say he was stabbed to death on the dance floor of the crane nightclub in the digbeth district of birmingham. 21—year—old kami carpenter and 22—year—old remy gordon have been charged with his murder and will appear at birmingham magistrates�* court today. in a statement, west midlands police said... since cody's death, the crane has had its licence suspended for 28 days. it followed accusations by west midlands police of serious management failings at the club on the night he died. the crane says it is conducting a full and detailed review of its security procedures and says it is assisting fully with the police inquiry.

together in a statement earlier this week, cody fisher's family said. a minute's silence was held in memory of cody at the start of the birmingham city and hull city match on friday. and his football club, stratford town, say they will be arranging a memorial game to raise money for his family. zoe conway, bbc news. russia has fired another wave of missile and drone attacks on ukraine overnight. it's the latest in series of strikes which have continued for several days over the new year period. officials in kyiv said one attack, which beganjust before midnight, damaged critical infrastructure and caused power cuts. network rail has said part of the main railway line

between glasgow and london will remain closed until friday. it was blocked last week by a landslide near carstairs in lanarkshire. it's thought there may be further travel disruption as yellow warnings for ice are in place across scotland, northern ireland and much of northern england. nearly 50 uk shops a day closed down last year, causing the loss of more than 150,000 jobs. that's according to new data from the centre for retail research, which says the trend is likely to continue this year. our business correspondent marc ashdown reports. sofa workshop, tm lewin and made, just a few well—known names to disappear from the high streets last year. 2022 was a brutal year for the retail sector, and for many famous brands it has been a fight for survival. a fight which not all of them won. figures from the centre for retail research show that 17,145 shops on high streets at major shopping destinations, and in towns and villages, pulled down

the shutters for the final time last year. the previous year it was just 11,449. 2022 then saw a rise of almost 50% in the number of permanent store closures compared to the previous year, about a third of businesses of all sizes simply going under. but the bulk was due to larger chains closing some branches to try to cut costs. far fewer large retailers, those with ten or more sites, went bust last year, suggesting well—known brands are surviving by tightening their belts. in reality it's very, very difficult. what retailers have got to do is change the way they operate their business. most of the big retailers now have 40% or more of the sales coming from online, which means that probably compared to let's say ten years ago, they have now got too many shops.

and so they need to look at, very carefully, each shop and close the poor performing ones. when shops go, so dojobs. this research showed that 151,000 retailjobs were lost last year, including some from online businesses. that's up 45,000 in 2021. experts are calling for reforms to business rates on empty retail spaces, as more shops struggle to survive. marc ashdown, bbc news. detectives in northern ireland are investigating alleged abuse and unlawful adoptions at institutions for unmarried mothers during the last century. so far, 80 people have made statements, some of which contain allegations that they were moved across the irish border illegally. chris page has been hearing their stories. i was born to be neglected — and that was by every authority figure who came into my life. the girls were something that had to be dealt with. they were a problem and we were the embodiment of their sin. for decades, these institutions across ireland were symbols of shame.

becoming pregnant outside marriage was regarded as a moral disgrace. women and girls sent to do exhausting work in laundries. the legacy is generations of trauma. i went to the wee school down behind it. up here, the creggan, st mary's chapel, i lived with the foster family about three streets away from there. marie's experience in londonderry in the 19605 shows how fostering was open to abuse. she says a woman went to aid children's home and asked this. there's a girl there and her wee brother. can i have them? like we were buy one, get one free items. she was getting paid to look after us, but we were doing all the housework. and, mentally, she was torturing me. she would lock me in a coal shed and that. when marie was 18, she became

pregnant and was sent across the irish border to an institution in dublin. one moment stands out in her memory. when i was going to see my son, after he was born and i was brought back into the home, the nuns tell me that i couldn't cuddle him or kiss him — that he wasn't mine any more. mark was one of the children born into the system. he was moved from northern ireland to the republic of ireland as a baby. he found out who his birth mother was after she died. kathleen mcguire had been searching for mark using the name she had given him. when kathleen came looking for a paul anthony mcguire, he didn't exist. my name was now mark mccollum. so this is the way the systems were set up to keep people apart. nobody would actually say we are going to stop you, we are going to prevent you, but they put up so many barricades and brick walls almost to thwart you and to deter you — to make it as difficult so you would just go, "yeah, i'm going to give up." police are trying to encourage

survivors to contact them. 80 have reported an alleged crime so far, mostly relating to illegal adoption. we are here when they are ready. we are not trying to rush through anything. it's important we go at the pace of the person who wants to come forward. the devolved government in belfast have commissioned an investigation, but a political crisis has put ministers out of power. one of the inquiry�*s designers is concerned by delays. i'm very disappointed at the slowness in the process. the actual taking of people from their birth mothers without any knowledge of where they were going, it is one of the greatest scandals of our time. officials say there has been significant progress and an inquiry panel will be recruited this month. survivors want answers and action from the church and state. we need the momentum and we need the willingness

to push this forward. if it's not going to come from stormont, it has to come from westminster. what would you like the outcome of this whole process to be? accountability. that they put their hands up and they say, yes, this should never have happened. that was marie arbuckle finishing chris page's report. the hollywood actor jeremy renner is reportedly in critical but stable condition after he had an accident while ploughing snow over the weekend. a spokesperson for the hawkeye star told the hollywood reporter he is receiving excellent care and is with his family. renner has received two 0scar nominations and is currently starring in the crime thriller, mayor of kingstown. if you've ever been to a party when a couple of guests break into song at the piano, you'll know it can either be good news or bad news — depending on their talent.

a week could be dying due to emergency care delays. the times reports dr boyle's warning comes as hospitals struggle with staff shortages and surgery backlogs. the paper also features a picture from london's new year's day parade, which came back for the first time since 2020. the guardian warns that nhs strikes could continue for months, amid anger over government plans to raise staff salaries by only 2% next year. the paper says health unions have described the plans as another real terms pay cut. the "gloves are off" for prince harry and prince william, claims the sun. the paper reports the duke of sussex's new book, spare, will take the brothers' conflict to what it describes as "a new level". that comes out in the next few days. shall we look at the inside pages?

and travel businesses, the last couple of years have been very difficult. 0ne popular booking site told us that searches in the last week of december for flights leaving the uk were up 90% on the same week in november. airlines and travel agencies are of course keen to get people booking, so while january is always a popular time to book, experts are saying that you are likely to get a better deal the earlier you book given that inflation remains stubbornly high and costs continue to rise for most industries. and with all of us watching those pennies at the minute, it is expected that demand will soar in particular for package holidays and for other type of all—inclusive deals, where essentially all your costs are up front. in terms of the options of where to go, with covid restrictions lifted in many parts of the world airlines are keen to get people back on board, and there will be new routes operating, including flights to the greek capital athens from a number of uk airports. and if you're feeling more adventurous, you'll be able to travel directly to guyana in the caribbean

and from edinburgh to calgary in canada. so reasons to be cheerful. and later in the programme we'll speak to travel expert simon calder on where you should be going, when you should be booking and what the best values is out there, so send in any questions you have. we will try to put those back to simon when we speak to him later. it's funny, speaking to friends on new year's eve, and we were already talking about holiday dates, trying to lock them in, try to get those deals before the prices go up. we need to deals before the prices go up. - need to get organised. i love the fact we are talking about the sunshine while carol is talking about the rain. find sunshine while carol is talking about the rain.— sunshine while carol is talking about the rain. �* , , about the rain. and we will still be doinu that about the rain. and we will still be doing that in _ about the rain. and we will still be doing that in the _ about the rain. and we will still be doing that in the summer- about the rain. and we will still be doing that in the summer as - about the rain. and we will still be doing that in the summer as well! | doing that in the summer as well! thank you. doing that in the summer as well! thank you-— thank you. can you believe the premier league _ thank you. can you believe the premier league is _ thank you. can you believe the premier league is back- thank you. can you believe the premier league is back again? | thank you. can you believe the i premier league is back again? it thank you. can you believe the - premier league is back again? it is a strange time. find

the defeat means that spurs have only won two of their last seven matches in the league. the team was booed off by some home fans at full—time. the club knows very well which is my opinion about the situation, and i continue to repeat that before to become competitive, to win, you have to create a solid foundation, to put important players, quality players. and for quality players you have to invest much money to do it. this is a process. this is the process if you want to win. nottingham forest drew 1—1 with chelsea at the city ground. serge aurier�*s equaliser followed raheem sterling's opener. chelsea are eighth, forest move up a place to third from bottom. it's always tough because you've got a lot of big teams, with lots of good players, top coaches, fighting for four spots. i think the mistake for us would be to worry about that. we have to focus on the next match. clearly we have a long way to go

in terms of how we want the team to look and the performance level of the team. so our focus is on the next game rather than what's potentially going to happen in five months' time. preparations are underway in the brazilian city of santos ahead of the funeral of football legend pele on tuesday. pele's coffin will be laid in the centre of the pitch at the vila belmiro stadium, with the public wake expected to begin this morning. tomorrow there will be a funeral cortege through the streets of santos ahead of a private burial. northampton put a big dent in harlequins' premiership title hopes, thrashing them by 46—17 at franklin's gardens. james ramm crossed the line twice, with the saints running in six tries. they move up to fifth place while harlequins remain third. there was a thrilling finish to 0spreys' match with cardiff in the united rugby championship. with the game in the 85th minute, jarrod evans had the chance to kick cardiff level

with a penalty. the ball bounced back from the line, and somehow 0spreys managed to steer it out of harm's way, and they won 22—19. scarlets recorded only their second league win this season. they beat fellow strugglers dragons with johnny mcnicholl scoring the third of their three tries. and ben healy scored a try for munster in the final seconds, to help them beat rivals ulster in belfast. healy then went on to convert the try himself, with the final score 15—14 to munster. elsewhere, leinster beat connacht 41—12. there's been a big upset at the world darts championship at alexandra palace. gabriel clemens knocked out world number one gerwyn price, beating the welshman 5—1 in their quarter—final. price controversially took to the oche wearing ear defenders in the fifth set in an attempt to drown out the crowd noise, but it wasn't enough, as clemens has made history becoming the first

german to reach the semifinal stage. he'll play england's michael smith later. three—time world champion michael van gerwen is also into the last four. the dutchman swept aside england's chris dobey, winning by 5—0, and will face dimitri van den bergh this evening. can wejust can we just talk about ear defenders? earmuffs, as i called them earlier. turns out they don't work. . , . them earlier. turns out they don't work. ., , ., ., . work. that is all i am saying. we could all do _ work. that is all i am saying. we could all do with _ work. that is all i am saying. we could all do with some. - work. that is all i am saying. we could all do with some. it - work. that is all i am saying. we could all do with some. it can . work. that is all i am saying. we | could all do with some. it can get work. that is all i am saying. we i could all do with some. it can get a bit rowdy at — could all do with some. it can get a bit rowdy at the _ could all do with some. it can get a bit rowdy at the darts. _ bit rowdy at the darts. that's true. a bit like you're in the morning. he that's true. a bit like you're in the morning-— that's true. a bit like you're in the mornin:. ., ., ~ , .,, the morning. he looked well pleased with his result. _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

that will last on and off through the afternoon. it will be cloudy and it will feel milder. temperatures starting to come up. wednesday, largely dry. it will be rather blustery. there will be some more rain by the time we get to thursday. that's it from me. more on our website and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, you're watching breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we've got all your news and sport between now and 9.15 this morning. thus, we look back at whether a record breaking stories from 2022. this time on weather world, we are at raf coningsby which set the uk's highest temperature record this summer during our hottest heatwave. and i will be finding out what it was like that day and how heat and other severe weather affects operations here. i am here at the uk's national meteorological archive and i will be finding out how that new record temperature

and all weather observations are used to paint a picture of the uk and the world's changing climate. if we want to understand our climate of the future, the first step is we need to understand our climate now and we also need to understand our climate going back into the past. all these sleeping bags and tents are for people in pakistan still homeless after one of the country's most devastating floods. i will report on 2022's biggest storms and look at what happens after weather disaster strikes. i am at raf coningsby, not only a place very close to my heart in that it is where i began my forecasting career, but to british meteorology it's a very important place, because this july at this

very stevenson screen, we recorded the uk highest temperature of 40.3 celsius. good evening. it has been a day of record—breaking temperatures across the uk. more than 40 celsius for the first time. july the 19th, the uk's hottest day, but as temperatures soared after the driest start to the year since 1976, drought and fire resulted. here in wennington in east london, a small blaze soon became an inferno that destroyed 19 homes. the met office says more than half of the uk's oldest weather stations recorded their hottest day during the heatwave, so extreme it was virtually impossible without human—induced climate change. it was europe's hottest summer, with spain enduring multiple heatwaves, including its most intense on record. in france, rivers dried up in the country's worst drought on record and the scale of the drought that spread across europe was said to be the worst in 500 years. a crippling water shortage

across parts of asia too, including here in china after its worst heatwave on record. and for the first time, japan hit 40 degrees in the month ofjune during its second hottest summer which was then followed by its warmest autumn. but the most haunting image from that hot summer is of spanish farmer angel martin arjona, hailed as a hero as he used his bulldozer to dig a trench to stop a fire from spreading. although he escaped the flames alive, he suffered severe burns and tragically died from his injuries in october. figures show the number of excess deaths reported during the heatwaves in spain, france, germany and the uk numbered more than 20,000. raf coningsby is home to front line combat—ready squadrons protecting uk airspace whatever the weather, so it's crucial they get the most accurate forecast. so here we are in the met office forecast office. it's 20 years since i've been in this particular room. it has changed a little bit.

in the chair where i used to once sit is our forecaster today, alice summerfield. you were here on that day back injuly when we saw the temperature of 40.3 celsius recorded here in coningsby. what was it like to see that here? it was something that was never expected in the uk. and here at coningsby it was even more incredible and remarkable because our previous max temperature was nowhere near, i think we beat it by about 5.5 degrees on that day, so it was extreme for the uk as a whole and even more extreme for the local area. at what point did you realise that coningsby was going to be the hottest place ever recorded in the uk? it has to go through quite vigorous quality control before we actually officially get the record, so obviously by the evening, we were pretty sure no one was going to beat us, beat that 40.3 record, but we actually were not officially holding the uk record until a few days later when they came and did the quality control

on the obs equipment outside. as a forecaster, i did not think i would see 40 celsius this soon here in the uk. do you think we will see that again anytime soon? we know it is possible to reach that, so it definitely can happen again and it is something that is going to be increasingly likely with the effects of climate change. looking out the window today, a big contrast to what we saw back then injuly. it is misty and foggy at the moment. are they likely to be flying later? so, you can see on the satellite picture here, this is the area of fog, so it's very widespread today. we are not really expecting it to clear until we get an air mass change, so, for us, probably not until around midnight tonight. that may stop some flying but of course you have got the quick—reaction alert squadrons here and they have to be up in any weather? yes, so they will go regardless of the weather. we just have to tell them what the weather is doing at the time and they will still have to go because that is obviously operationally important.

so that contact between the forecaster and also the squadrons and pilots is crucial, isn't it? yes. so we add value to the forecast that they could get off the website or from anywhere else by briefing the pilots, so we show them the satellite images and the charts that are made elsewhere in hq and then we also make our own products and show them those as well. more to come from coningsby later when i will be talking to pilots of aircraft new and old about how heat and severe weather can affect operations here. that new record of 40.3 celsius at coningsby is a significant moment in weather history. but every temperature reading, every weather observation plays its part in our understanding of how our climate is changing and that is why i have come here to the met office's national meteorological archive in exeter. it is home to daily uk weather reports from 1860 to the present day, among a vast collection of data that make up one of the most

comprehensive collections on meteorology anywhere in the world. i am joined now by mike kendon, a climate information scientist here at the met office, and mike, we are amongst this huge collection of historical weather data. looking at some of these very oldest weather observations, thinking particularly about temperature, how is that used alongside our newest data to compare how our climate is changing? sure, it's a great question, isn't it? when we look at these records here, these are from durham 0bservatory back in 1890, and it can be quite difficult to read at times, but they were very systematic and careful. when we think about observations, we think about how they are used for weather forecasting, for the weather forecast we generate in the met office, there are observations coming in from a huge load of sources and of course observations are also very important to understand our climate and if we want to understand our climate of the future, the first step is we need to understand our climate now and we also need to understand our climate going back into the past.

so we have got all of those standardised and scientifically robust observations, just like the 40.3 from coningsby earlier this year. how has that fed into models to create a bigger picture on a wider scale of what is happening to our climate? we calculate values across the whole of the uk. if we calculate an average of all those points, that can provide us with a uk statistic. these maps show long—term average, annual mean temperature for, on the left, 1961—1990, and on the right, 1991 to 2020. comparing these two averaging periods is how the darker reds, the warmer areas, the areas have expanded across a larger extent of the map. between these two periods, the uk has warmed by roughly one degree. 2022 will go down in the history books, not only because it was the first time we broke that 40 celsius barrier, but also its likely to be the hottest year on record in the uk. we shouldn't necessarily be too surprised by that, because it follows the pattern of what we might expect as our climate warms.

we expect more high temperature extremes of this type. so this is showing the uk average daily temperature over the course of the year. the black line in the middle shows the long—term average that we might typically expect. the areas in red show the times of year which have been warmer than average. the areas in blue show where it has been colder than average and what is immediately apparent is that we have had so much more of the year which has been warmer than average compared to colder than average. just look at these spells through the year, through the summer and through the autumn in particular. the other thing i willjust point out is this huge spike in the observations injuly when we reached 40 celsius in the uk for the first time. thank you so much for now, mike. 2022 in the uk will notjust be remembered for extreme heat, it was stormy at times too. a lorry overturns in extreme winds in 0xfordshire during storm eunice, the second and most powerful

of three named storms to hit the uk in just one week in february. thankfully, the driver was not seriously hurt. falling trees caused damage and widespread travel disruption. gasping oh, my god! i caught that on video. and another weather record was set here on the coast of the isle of wight. a gust of 122 miles per hour became the strongest ever recorded in england. and the uk recorded its coldest day since 2010. the worst weather disasters can often lead to a huge and global response and one of the biggest needs in 2022 followed those devastating floods in pakistan.

and here in west london, there is another batch of much—needed things waiting to go out there, food, toothpaste, sanitary products. we have already seen lots of tents and sleeping bags, all ready to go on a flight to pakistan to help those still homeless and trying to get through winter. thousands of people are still living in makeshift camps with no access to clean drinking water and the fear of disease spreading in these conditions. the force of the floods was felt as early as may, when a glacial lake outburst led to this bridge collapse during a worsening pre—monsoon heatwave. by august, destruction was widespread. this new hotel was washed away within minutes. pakistan had its wettestjuly and august on record and the country's climate minister said a third of the country was under water. more than 1,000 people died and over half a million homes had been destroyed. joining me now is abdullah ali, one of the people who has been helping putting all of this aid together, and what is

the ongoing need out there? because of course we are several months after the main flood, but loads of people are still homeless? at the moment there's loads of people that haven't got any houses or any shelter out there, so we need to gather tents, any shelter that can help them — tents, food items, and try to rebuild houses over there for them. what do you feel about the response that you've had to get all of this stuff together for pakistan? it's absolutely amazing, the response we've received so far is absolutely phenomenal. i really appreciate everyone that has been helping, especially all the donors and volunteers that come down, really appreciate it. i know you are particularly interested to try to get tax relief on this all of this stuff when it reaches pakistan. tell me about that. that is correct. at the moment we are getting tax and dutied over there for our containers and air shipments that are being sent out, so we are trying to do something that will waive that off, try and help as much as it can. it would be absolutely great. what does it make you feel like knowing that there has been this response?

me, personally, ifeel really great because we are coming together as a community, like even muslims and non—muslim people have come together to donate stuff towards the people that are poor. well, good luck with all of your ongoing efforts to get that relief out there. thank you so much. 2022 has brought more shocking scenes of flash floods and landslides. here on the italian island of ischia in november, during the night, mud surges towards the sea taking everything with it after several days of intense downpours. in october, on the greek island of crete, cars were swept into the sea by a powerful flood that locals say caught them by surprise, also at night, after a day of rain. brazil endured rounds of severe storms that caused deadly flash flooding. this is the aftermath of a landslide that swept onto a motorway in early december. and here in petropolis in february, over 200 people died in a catastrophic mudslide that followed several hours of torrential rain.

still to come on weather world, the science behind storm surge, as hurricane ian wreaks havoc in florida. welcome back to raf coningsby. this base has a special place in my heart, because it is where i started forecasting and it is of course the place where the highest uk temperature ever was recorded this summer, 40.3 celsius. behind me are some of the typhoon aircraft based at this station, but what sort of impact do the temperatures have on operations here? well, tojoin me to tell me more is the station commander group captain billy cooper. good to meet you, billy. let's first go back to that day injuly. record—breaking temperatures above 40 degrees. what sort of impact does that have on operations here at coningsby? so any extremes of weather and particularly temperature can have an effect even on very modern aircraft. in particular the performance

of the engines, either at very high altitude or very high temperature. we find also the density of the fuel will change, so the way in which the maintainers operate with the aircraft can also be quite different. at coningsby, you have the quick—reaction alert squadron who have to be up in the air at almost a moment's notice. what sort of weather impacts do they look out for? we have to be aware of what the weather conditions are, not only here at coningsby but across all of the uk and into europe as well. so we'd be particularly concerned about thunderstorms, if any areas were particularly cloudy, which might make it very difficult for us to intercept any other aircraft. but it's notjust modern—day aircraft in operation here at coningsby, it's also home to the battle of britain memorial flight. these priceless artefacts are kept in airworthy condition and can be seen in the skies above all sorts of events over the summer months, keeping their rich history alive. and here we are in the hangar of the battle of britain memorial flight.

behind me, just one of only two operational lancaster bombers in the entire world. it is here with other aircraft, and in charge of them all is squadron leader mark sugden. thank you very much for having us here. it's an amazing, amazing site. we were with the station commander earlier, chatting about typhoons, the technology involved in them. of course, this is historic aircraft. what sort of weather requirements do you have? we fly national treasures and safety and preservation are at the forefront of what we do and weather plays a very big part of that. 0ur planning before we go anywhere near the aeroplanes, it always starts with the weather and getting a really good understanding of what is out there. we fly around the country, we ask an awful lot of the met office. you know, i know they do not have a crystal ball and it's not an exact science, we know that, but like i say, our limits are far less than say a typhoon and we need to have a really good understanding of the weather before we take them flying. we had that record heat this summer. what sort of impact did that

have on your operations? the engines create a huge amount of heat and certainly on the ground they get hot really quickly, which back in the �*40s, was great. they were from the scramble bell going to being airborne quickly, you want the engine to get up to temperature. but for us, for example the aeroplane behind me, on a normal summer's day probably from starting the engine on the ground you have eight minutes before she'll overheat. with the temperatures we have been having this summer, you can imagine that makes that problem even worse. back in the day, they were operational fighter planes, weren't they, and of course they had to fly in some pretty tricky conditions? exactly that, and you said, you know, the precise words were "they needed to", there was no choice for them. back in the 1940s, flying at night, flying in really challenging conditions, yes, we lost aircrew through no enemy action and just because of the weathers that they were having to fly in. well, they are stunning and as you said, national treasures to be looked after. they are. thank you very much forjoining us. thank you, matt. i am here at the uk's national meteorological archive

looking at how weather data is collected and used to inform us about how our climate is changing. earlier, i looked at temperature. now we're going to turn our attention to rainfall. mike, of course one of the most important types of weather data that is recorded is rainfall, but how do we record rainfall at specific sites and then interpret that to say for instance back on the 3rd of october 2020 it was the uk's wettest day on record? so we do monitor it carefully. how do we take those observations? from a network of approximately 2,000 rain gauges across the uk, we interpolate these data onto a gridded data set covering the uk, and the result of that are products like this map that you can see here of rainfall on the 3rd of october 2020. this was the wettest day on record with 30.1 millimetres. that statistic is basically an average across the uk, but when we do the maths on that, 30.1 millimetres comes up as 7.6 cubic kilometres,

which is approximately enough rain to fill loch ness, so quite a remarkable amount. once we have got that system for knowing just how much rain fell right across the uk, talk me through this one which goes back over 180 years. just how has rainfall changed in the uk over time? so this is a uk national rainfall series. there is a lot of natural variability in our weather from one year to another, so this line is going up and down. what we have done is we have put a trend line through this data. you can see there are fluctuations in this data, but what we can see most apparent towards the end of the data is we can see this increase in rainfall and that is broadly as we expect, that as our climate gets warmer, it also gets wetter. and in 2022, the met office was able to extend the uk's official rainfall record back even further in time, an extra 26 years to 1836. that's after thousands of volunteers helped to digitise millions of handwritten rainfall observations in the extra spare time they had

during the pandemic. all of this is bound for pakistan for the victims of that catastrophic flooding. just one of a number of weather—related disasters in 2022. another is drought in east africa. a huge aid effort continues there as famine looms following four failed rainy seasons. but in west africa, the problem is too much rain and the worst floods in a decade in nigeria. declared an overwhelming disaster, the floods here killed more than 600 people and over 200,000 homes were destroyed. rainfall levels in the north and east of the country were estimated to have been up to 75% above normal. the european union has partnered with countries across west africa on fanfar, a project to improve flood warnings in the area. nigeria's flood agency says that without its enhanced short—term forecasts, the devastation would have been even worse.

october in australia, and yet more flooding rain. these scenes from the state of victoria, as the country went on to record its second wettest spring. a rare third consecutive la nina weather pattern produced deluge after deluge in the south—east of the country. and for sydney, a truly remarkable year — its wettest in data going back to 1859, a record the city broke with nearly three months of the year still left. few places have been harder hit than lismore, one of the most flood—prone places in new south wales. but even here, the floods in february were the worst they'd known. we literally had water coming up from the ocean, water coming down from the catchment, and 800 millilitres of rain in about 24 hours landing on top of lismore, and it was literally the perfect storm. you know, there's no doubt

that there is an issue with climate change. when it comes to tropical cyclones in 2022, super typhoon noru was one of the fastest—strengthening storms ever recorded in the pacific as it approached the philippines in september. good afternoon, everyone. we are coming on the air because hurricane ian i is about to make landfall. in the usa, few hurricanes are as costly as ian, which hit florida in september, causing so much damage that losses are expected to exceed $50 billion. these scenes from fort myers show the scale of destruction from a storm tide as the fifth strongest hurricane ever to make landfall in the usa. ian's most devastating impacts came from its storm surge. susan powell explains what a storm surge is and why they can be so damaging. when powerful hurricanes

and typhoons hit the headlines, there is much focus on their wind speeds and categorisations. but for coastal areas, the biggest concern by far is storm surge. storm surge is known to be the biggest threat to life and livelihoods. storm surge is a rise in water level above normal tides generated by the storm. heights of over 8.5 metres, 28 feet, have been recorded. how do storms produce this surge? a small part, only around 5% of the surge, comes from a fall in atmospheric pressure above the storm. relatively less pressure of the atmosphere pushing down lets water upwell. the major driver by far, however, is wind. the stronger the winds, the more force that can be applied to the water's surface and literally push up an increasingly large body of water. as storms approach landfall, where wind direction is onshore, the mass of water literally pushes inland. the opposite, however, can apply.

where storm winds are offshore, a negative storm surge can suck water away from the coast. predicting surges is a complex process. storm intensity, forward speed, size and angle of approach all play a part, as does the shape of a coast. 2022 saw another united nations cop climate conference. this one in egypt needed an extra second day to finally reach agreement on loss and damage — a pooled fund for countries most affected by climate change. i hear no objections, it is so decided. - but that deal comes in a year when the world meteorological organisation says atmospheric concentrations of key greenhouse gases reached record levels. we are in the fight of our lives and we are losing. greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. global temperatures keep rising.

and our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. and finally, when there is too much snow and it is coming at you too quickly, this is one of 2022's luckiest escapes. an avalanche caught on camera and heading towards british hiker harry shimmin in kyrgyzstan injuly. oh, my... bleep. he was on the edge of a cliff with no escape and his excitement at what initially seemed so far away turned to fear as the snow and ice surged towards him. 0h, deargod! snow was pouring over the top of me. for a second, itjust - carried on getting worse and that is when i did not reallyi know what was going to happen, which is probably, you know, a moment that i will not - forget too soon. and then itjust kind -

of steadily turned into this weird kind of blizzard, i suppose, from the air displacement - or something, i'm not sure. but, yeah, literally alljust blew over. i i was not covered in more than a few i inches, so i was able tojust stand i up straightaway and, l yeah, be grateful i was still there, really. that is it for weather world and our review of 2022, another of the world's top ten warmest years, and for the uk, warmest years and, for the uk, one of the warmest. that is what will go down on record here in the national meteorological archive. and of all the weather records here and globally, it is the hot ones that are overwhelmingly being broken the most often. from nick, mattand me, until next time, goodbye.

you will have the weather closer to home in the next 15 minutes. what a year. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london i'm thomas magill. an urgent review of security arrangements at the new year's eve fireworks show is continuing, after a number of people forced their way through several barriers. this was near westminster abbey, while there was similar scenes on the southbank. the met says they were forced to draw their batons to control the crowds before bringing the situation under control. eight people were arrested during the evening. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman from deptford.

maureen gitau was reported missing on the 10th of december, having last been seen five days earlier as she left her home in evelyn street. the 54—year—old man was arrested on friday. passengers travelling to scotland on avanti services from euston via the west coast mainline are being told to avoid the station. the line will be shut until friday due to a landslide near carlisle. customers are being advised to use the east coast mainline out of kings cross instead. meanwhile, train services across much the capital will be severely disrupted from tomorrow as the first in a series of national rail strikes gets underway. staff from the rmt union will walk out tomorrow, and then again on wednesday, friday and saturday, in a dispute over pay and working conditions. and then on thursday train drivers from the union aslef will also strike, affecting 15 train companies.

these national discussions, they are ongoing. rail delivery group are owning those discussions on behalf of all the train operating companies. we are very much looking forward to them making a breakthrough and for people getting back around the table in the new year so we can get a quick resolution to the dispute. let's see how the tube is looking on this bank holiday monday. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning and a very happy new year to you. it will be quite unsettled weather wise as we had three this week, so wet and windy at times. there will be various weather fronts coming through. but, today, it is quite quiet and a decent day of weather. starting off on a chillier note than we saw the last few days, so 5—6 celsius. there will be lots of sunshine developing and it should stay largely dry for most of the day. the winds are lighter than we saw yesterday. temperatures peaking between 7—9 celsius. 0vernight tonight, we keep the clear skies. temperatures are likely to drop

low enough to perhaps get a touch of frost. certainly low single figures. but then temperatures starting to rise from the west as we head into tomorrow morning. it will be turning wetter and windier. the weather front tomorrow morning will give us outbreaks of rain. that will last on and off through the afternoon. it will be cloudy and it will feel milder. temperatures starting to come up. wednesday, largely dry. it will be rather blustery. there will be some more rain by the time we get to thursday. that's it from me. more on our website, and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. let's cross back to sally and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. patients at risk and some a&e departments in a complete state of crisis —

that's the warning from a group of senior emergency care doctors, as the nhs battles extreme winter pressures. two men charged with the murder of footballer cody fisher will appear at birmingham magistrates' court today. spurs boss antonio conte calls for patience after another defeat. tottenham lose to aston villa and have now won only two of their past seven matches. my my particular shipmate said, make the most of your 25th, hurry, because the way this is going, you may not see your 26. the extraordinary story of 106—year—old harry waddingham, who was one of only 24 crew members who survived after his ship was torpedoed during the second world war. good morning. hgppy happy new year. today we are starting on a cold note. some showers. for most of us it is going

to be dry and sunny with light breezes. the weather this week will be fairly changes. details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday, january 2nd. senior doctors are warning that some a&e departments are in a "complete state of crisis" because of the extreme pressures facing the nhs this winter. the royal college of emergency medicine says it's impossible to provide the best standard of care, and it adds there's no doubt patients are being harmed. louisa pilbeam has the details. patients lying in a&e corridors... ...ambulance delays, and staff who say they're at breaking point, and surging flu cases, all at a critical time for the nhs. the diagnosis from a leading emergency care doctor? unless there's more investment in services, patients are at risk. there is no doubt that when we are trying to treat frail, vulnerable, elderly patients on trolleys in corridors, they are bound to come

to harm, and there is absolutely bound to be an association with unnecessary deaths as a result. these are human beings in the middle of this. meanwhile, the president of the royal college of emergency medicine, dr adrian boyle, told times radio he estimates those unnecessary debts deaths could reach between 300 and 500 every week. in december, a&e waiting times and ambulance response times hit their worst levels on record across the uk. in november 2021, just under 11,000 people waited more than 12 hours in a&e in england for a decision on being admitted. by november this year, that figure had leapt tojust under 38,000. made similar warnings about hospitals under pressure. the government say they recognise the pressures, and say they are providing £14.1 billion in additionalfunding for health and social care over the next two years, and an extra £500 million to try to free up hospital

discharges and hospital beds. cheering. however, these warnings come as nhs staff prepare to take further action over pay with more strikes by ambulance workers and nurses planned this month. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent iain watson. morning. this pressure on the nhs coming as many staff have taken strike action and union is one of more to come.— strike action and union is one of more to come. ~ ., ., , more to come. what have they said? yes, more to come. what have they said? yes. unions — more to come. what have they said? yes. unions are _ more to come. what have they said? yes, unions are concerned _ more to come. what have they said? yes, unions are concerned not - more to come. what have they said? yes, unions are concerned notjust . yes, unions are concerned notjust aboul— yes, unions are concerned notjust about this — yes, unions are concerned notjust about this year's pay award, but next _ about this year's pay award, but next year's _ about this year's pay award, but next year's. pay review bodies, which _ next year's. pay review bodies, which are — next year's. pay review bodies, which are meant to be independent, are supposed to report in april. but unions _ are supposed to report in april. but unions are — are supposed to report in april. but unions are highlighting a letter sent by— unions are highlighting a letter sent by the health secretary last year. _ sent by the health secretary last year. in — sent by the health secretary last year, in november, setting out some of the _ year, in november, setting out some

since cody's death, the crane has had its licence suspended for 28 days. it followed accusations by west midlands police of serious management failings at the club on the night he died. the crane says it is conducting a full and detailed review of its security procedures and says it is assisting fully with the police inquiry. in a statement earlier this week, cody fisher's family said. a minute's silence was held in memory of cody at the start of the birmingham city and hull city match on friday. and his football club, stratford town, say they will be arranging a memorial game to raise money for his family. zoe conway, bbc news.

russia has fired another wave of missile and drone attacks on ukraine overnight. it's the latest in series of strikes which have continued for several days over the new year period. officials in kyiv said one attack, which beganjust before midnight, damaged critical infrastructure and caused power cuts. tens of thousands of people are expected to pay their respects to the former pope benedict the sixteenth — when his lying in state begins in about an hour. the former pontiff died in new year's eve at the age of 95, almost a decade after he stood down because of ill health. he will lie in state in the vatican for three days before his funeral on thursday. nearly 50 uk shops a day closed down last year, causing the loss of more than 150—thousand jobs.

that's according to new data from the centre for retail research, which says the trend is likely to continue this year. the hollywood actor jeremy renner is reportedly in critical but stable condition after he had an accident while ploughing snow over the weekend. a spokesperson for the hawkeye star told the hollywood reporter he is receiving excellent care and is with his family. renner has received two 0scar nominations and is currently starring in the crime thriller, mayor of kingstown. it is nine minutes past seven. it is monday morning. monday. it is monda . monday morning. monday. it is monday- it _ monday morning. monday. it is monday- it is — monday morning. monday. it is monday. it is a _ monday morning. monday. it is monday. it is a bank holiday. carol is the weather if you are thinking about going for a walk. you may need a brolly. not so much today but tomorrow you are absolutely right. we are looking at heavy rain coming our weight today and tomorrow. today there are some

showers. but for most it is going to be dry and it is going to be sunny. that is following on from a cold start. the risk of ice across parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern in them. in the south there are a few showers in the far south—east. but for most a dry and sunny start. as we push not it is the same across northern england. most of northern ireland. showers in the north—west. showers in northern and western scotland. for the rest of scotland, dry and sunny. some of these showers could prove to be wintry. mostly on the hills. you may see wintriness at lower levels but nothing significant. with light winds, temperatures, if you are heading out for that walk, will be roughly three in glasgow and aberdeen, four in belfast and newcastle and nine in london and plymouth. we start on a cold note as we head into the evening period under clear skies. we head into the evening period under clearskies. but we head into the evening period under clear skies. but then we have a band of heavy and persistent rain moving in from the west. it will be

accompanied by strong winds. milder airfollows behind. all this rain pushing steadily eastward through the course of tomorrow. some snow, mostly on high ground, and another band of rain follows behind. not as cold tomorrow as today. you are quite right, you will need your brolly. look at that rain. ., ,, , ., looking after an ill parent or relative is one of the most importantjobs — and it can be one of the toughest — but there are thousands of young carers who don't even realise they're doing anything special. that's according to the carers trust charity, which says those young people need more help. the scottish government also says more needs to be done, and it has created a national strategy to ensure they're not left feeling isolated, as our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. they're going to get my medicines down. and i'll take them just now. thanks. i help my mum with personal hygiene, like washing her hair. sometimes i go to the shops

after school and buy stuff. i help my mum a lot with emotional support, because it's hard on her as well. 13—year—old elise helps care for her mum, liz, who has reactive arthritis and adrenal insufficiency. elise's dad works six days a week as a delivery driver, so the family have to rely on elise to help. i think she's just something else, and she does it with good humour all the time. she's a teenager and she should be grumpy with me. and, yeah, there are grumpy moments, but nothing like you would think. and she just will say, yeah, no problem, go and do it. but i feel so guilty that i have to ask her to do these things. for elise, looking after her mom is almost a full time job on top of her schooling. her daily responsibilities are very different from her peers. i'm proud of what i do. but kids don't understand how lucky they are. like, i wish i could go out.

sorry! i wish i could go out and have a day with my mum. and do all that stuff, because you don't realize how lucky you are until one day, like that, someone's ill. they are a very close family. other support comes from a local charity. those using the center said it helps spending time with other kids who have similar duties at home. it's made a difference of me being more confident in myi social skill and physical skill. some of the young people here told me it took time to realize they'd taken on a caring role. i didn't know i was a young carer when i was helping my mum last year, because my mum had a stroke, and then me and my dad just hadn't... when she came back home in december, my dad was struggling at first. so i helped them, and i've been here ever since.

and they feel that more formal support in their homes, and at school, should be available. we don't get enough support and sometimes we go unnoticed and we feel low, because we don't have support there. and to anybody that is a young carere and doesn't come to group or doesn't have anything, don't be scared to ask for support, as you do need help. the scottish government estimates those here are among the 30,000 young people who take on an unpaid, caring role in scotland. elise and her friends say their goal by sharing their experience is to show others they are not alone. lorna gordon, bbc news, west dunbartonshire. kirsty mchugh is the chief executive of the carers trust, and shejoins us now from south london. morning to you. some incredible stories that we have just listened

member of this congregation, harry waddingham, in his 107th year, was barely out of his teens when he joined up. he's a navy man through and through with stories of sea battles, comradeship and good fortune. like the day off the beaches of dunkirk when his ship was destroyed in a sudden attack. really, you never slept. and my memory of those nights was of constant tiredness. hardly able to stand on one foot and take the roll of the ship. and wherever i stood, i used to hold on to a locker handle or something, and then almost nod off. it was a torpedo from a german boat. suddenly there was a bang and the ship went down. those who are on the outer parts of the upper deck must

have been catapulted into the air and dropped in the sea. and others still with it. and of course, the ship was packed, wasn't it? soldiers, 600 soldiers, plus a crew of about 200. and only those on the upper deck survived. harry was transferred to hms mendip, patrolling the east coast, and once again faced frequent air and sea battles. the class destroyers were generally only 900 tonnes, which in ship terms is very small. but they were over—gunned for their size. that's why they were a bit top heavy always. pandemonium, action stations, really was. and the scamper of feet... you were expected to be all positions ready in two to three minutes.

now, if you're go going from the deck, it's a long way to go. i had a balaclava. then i had a leather motorcycle helmet. then i had another balaclava with holes cut out for the eyes. i wore that back to front, which kept me reasonably warm. at the four corners around the gun, which is constantly swivelling from left to right, according to whether they're firing, there are four flat hatches, spring loaded. yourjob is to grasp this oil covered projectile and pull the whole projectile with a brass cartridge attached out from the deck. when the gun fires, it ejects just brass cartridge quite rapidly enough if it hit you to not go over. so you have to keep out of the way

of ejected brass cartridges. and at the same time, keep groping around below foot level to pull out another cartridge. your hands are cold. you can't wear gloves, because they'll be caught in the mechanism of the gun. harry's memory for detail fascinates everyone who hears his experiences. among them, his wife, colette, who spent her war as a child in occupied paris. i'm extremely proud of what he went through and what he did. i've heard the stories so many times i could almost, you know, recount some of them. what all of them went through, you know, we wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for them. i love him for what he is and what he went through. i spent my 25th birthday in a destroyer�*s mess tent,

when everybody offered you his rum. and my shipmate, particular shipmate, said, "make the most of your 25th, harry, because the way this is going, you may not see your 26th." and i remember that. # happy birthday to you... 80 birthday is on from that day, hurry wadding and's pride in their duty well done still shines as brightly as the medals on his chest. robert hall, bbc news, east sussex. what an incredible man. remarkable. do you or someone you know have a story to share

about world war two? ahead of its 80th anniversary, in 2025, the bbc is trying to gather as many first—hand accounts from surviving veterans as possible, to preserve them for future generations. you can contact us here at www. bbc.co.uk/wewerethere, or visit the bbc news website and search "we were there". time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. an urgent review of security arrangements at the new year's eve fireworks show is continuing after a number of people forced their way through several barriers. this was near westminster abbey, while there was similar scenes on the southbank. the met made eight arrests on the evening and say they were forced to draw their batons before bringing the situation under control. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman from deptford. maureen gitau was reported missing on the 10th of december, having been last seen five days earlier as she left her home

0vernight tonight, we keep the clear skies. temperatures are likely to drop low enough to perhaps get a touch of frost. certainly low single figures. but then temperatures starting to rise from the west as we head into tomorrow morning. it will be turning wetter and windier. the weather front tomorrow morning will give us outbreaks of rain. that will last on and off through the afternoon. it will be cloudy and it will feel milder. temperatures starting to come up. wednesday, largely dry. it will be rather blustery. there will be some more rain by the time we get to thursday. that's it from me. i'll be back in an hour but let's cross back to sally and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. mps will be returning to westminster

next monday for the first parliamentary business of 2023 — and it's fair to say they'll be hoping for a slightly less turbulent year than last year, which saw three prime ministers and four chancellors. so, what are the chances? let's speak to a pair of politicaljournalists — the guardian's aletha adu and george parkerfrom the financial times. good morning. we can look back at 2022. i will ask for your memorable moments. i know there are probably a few but what sticks in your mind at the moment when you thought whatever next? , ., ., ., the moment when you thought whatever next? ,., ., ., “ next? good morning. ithink it robabl next? good morning. ithink it probably has _ next? good morning. ithink it probably has to _ next? good morning. ithink it probably has to be _ next? good morning. ithink it probably has to be boris i next? good morning. i think it i probably has to be boris johnson's probably has to be borisjohnson's final hours, so many mps coming into the commons, chatter on how long he will last. it was getting to the final night when i think he was spoken to by a number of cabinet ministers. a few hours before we had

heard the chief mischief maker michael gove was potentially on the brink of quitting. they had a massive feud that had gone on years. at that point, it was like could hear last a summer, a year? it was literally his final act as prime minister in authority. it was incredible. to add a funny and bizarre moment, rishi sunak, as chancellor, essentially comparing himself to will smith. when he slapped chris rock on stage. when he was defending his wife and there was chatter about his wife's non—domicile status. he said i will always defend my family but at least i have not slapped anybody. and now he is prime minister. 51am i have not slapped anybody. and now he is prime minister.— he is prime minister. such an incredible _ he is prime minister. such an incredible year. _ he is prime minister. such an incredible year. we _ he is prime minister. such an incredible year. we are i he is prime minister. such an i incredible year. we are watching pictures of rishi sunak as chancellor and then prime minister. george, can you believe it when you look back at the last 12 months? i

have been doing this quite a few years— have been doing this quite a few years and — have been doing this quite a few years and there has been nothing quite _ years and there has been nothing quite as— years and there has been nothing quite as crazy as the last year. mentioning borisjohnson's downfall, mentioning boris johnson's downfall, my mentioning borisjohnson's downfall, my memory was the night when the conservative party had a breakdown it seemed _ conservative party had a breakdown it seemed when liz truss was prime minister— it seemed when liz truss was prime minister and there was a vote in the commons _ minister and there was a vote in the commons where the discipline of the party breakdown. liz truss, in the end, _ party breakdown. liz truss, in the end, bunkered in numberio. it was obvious— end, bunkered in numberio. it was obvious she — end, bunkered in numberio. it was obvious she could not survive. a funny— obvious she could not survive. a funny moment for me was an incident involving _ funny moment for me was an incident involving neil parish, looking for combine — involving neil parish, looking for combine harvesters on his phone and ended _ combine harvesters on his phone and ended up— combine harvesters on his phone and ended up looking at pornography. and that ended _ ended up looking at pornography. and that ended up to money being released — that ended up to money being released to rebuild my old school in tiverton _ released to rebuild my old school in tiverton with the lib dems winning the election there and after the campaign started to rebuild the school, — campaign started to rebuild the school, the money was available. did ou ever

are being put in hotels. a lot of constituents feel it is destabilising for the community spirit. but obviously these people need help. suella braverman has made quite the mark as home secretary. but we have heard from her predecessor that an issue like this has got worse and is bringing the conservative party into disrepute. we have inflation. 0ne huge thing that rishi sunak needs to get a grip on. and migration is something he needs to tackle sooner rather than later if he wants to stay in number 10. i later if he wants to stay in number 10. ., , ., later if he wants to stay in number 10. . , ., y ., 10. i am interested in what you think about _ 10. i am interested in what you think about this. _ 10. i am interested in what you think about this. we _ 10. i am interested in what you think about this. we expect i 10. i am interested in what you think about this. we expect a l think about this. we expect a general election next year. how our party is preparing?— party is preparing? might it happen sooner? you _ party is preparing? might it happen sooner? you occasionally _ party is preparing? might it happen sooner? you occasionally hear- party is preparing? might it happen i sooner? you occasionally hear people say boris _ sooner? you occasionally hear people say borisjohnson might make a dash for the _ say borisjohnson might make a dash for the polls but i cannot see why

he would — for the polls but i cannot see why he would do that. the opinion polls, the conservatives typically 20 points — the conservatives typically 20 points behind labour. the only person— points behind labour. the only person who can call an election is the prime — person who can call an election is the prime minister. i cannot see why rishi sunak— the prime minister. i cannot see why rishi sunak would do that, especially as he expects things to .et especially as he expects things to get better in 2024. the conservative party strategy is to ride out 2023 and hope — party strategy is to ride out 2023 and hope in 2020 for the economy picks— and hope in 2020 for the economy picks up— and hope in 2020 for the economy picks up and they will run a campaign at the end of 2024 saying we are _ campaign at the end of 2024 saying we are on— campaign at the end of 2024 saying we are on the right track, do not turn _ we are on the right track, do not turn back, — we are on the right track, do not turn back, do not let labour mess it up. turn back, do not let labour mess it up i_ turn back, do not let labour mess it up i do— turn back, do not let labour mess it up i do not— turn back, do not let labour mess it up. i do not think it likely there will be — up. i do not think it likely there will be an— up. i do not think it likely there will be an election in 2023 but as we have — will be an election in 2023 but as we have seen, things can be unpredictable in british politics. thank— unpredictable in british politics. thank you both. we will speak again about that in the months ahead. hgppy about that in the months ahead. happy new year. the safest thing is not to predict anything in politics or sport. 0n the subject of which...

do not predict anything particularly in the premier league. antonio conte behind you, not looking happy but he never does. that is his happy face. it is frustrating because results have not been that bad. but it is when you compare it to the beginning of the season when tottenham had the best start in history. they might have got a little bit excited but now he is telling them to maybe be more realistic because there is pressure mounting now. after his side lost 2—nil at home to aston villa in the premier league. emi buendia opened the scoring for villa, before douglas luiz doubled the lead. the defeat means that spurs have only won 2 of their last seven matches in the league. the team was booed off by some home fans at full—time. the club knows very well which is my opinion about the situation, and i continue to repeat that before to become competitive, to win, you have to create a solid

foundation, to put important players, quality players. and for quality players you have to invest much money to do it. this is a process. this is the process if you want to win. nottingham forest drew 1—all with chelsea at the city ground. serge aurier�*s equaliser followed raheem sterling's opener. chelsea are eighth, forest move up a place to third from bottom. preparations are under way in the brazilian city of santos . in the brazilian city of santos ahead of the funeral of football legend pele tomorrow. a hearse carrying his body set off this morning and will be laid in the centre of the pitch at the vila belmiro stadium, with the public wake taking place later. tomorrow, there will be a funeral cortege through the streets of santos ahead of a private burial. northampton put a big dent in harlequins' premiership title hopes, thrashing them by 46 points

to 17 at franklin's gardens. james ramm crossed the line twice, with the saints running in six tries. they move up to fifth place while harlequins remain third. there was a thrilling finish to 0spreys' match with cardiff in the united rugby championship. with the game in the 85th minute, jarrod evans had the chance to kick cardiff level with a penalty. the ball bounced back from the line and somehow 0spreys managed to steer it out of harm's way, and they won 22—19. scarlets recorded only their second league win this season. they beat fellow strugglers dragons with johnny mcnicholl scoring the third of their three tries. and ben healy scored a try for munster in the final seconds to help them beat ulster in belfast. healy then went on to convert the try himself, with the final score 15—14. elsewhere, leinster

beat connacht 41—12. leinster have apologised after a pro ira song was played after their win over connacht. in statement, the club said it has taken measures to ensure it doesn't happen again and apologises sincerely for any offence caused. there's been a big upset at the world darts championship at alexandra palace. gabriel clemens knocked out world number one gerwyn price beating the welshman 5—1 in their quarter—final. price controversiallly took to the oche wearing ear defenders in the fifth set in an attempt to drown out the crowd noise, we think, but it wasn't enough as clemens made history becoming the first german to reach the semi—final stage. he'll play england's michael smith later. three—time world champion michael van gerwen is also into the last four. the dutchman swept aside england's chris dobey, winning by five sets to nil, and will face dimitri van den bergh this evening.

novak djokovic is playing in the adelaide international this week as a warm—up to the australian open, 12 months after he was deported from the country amid a covid—19 vaccine storm that created headlines around the world. the bbc�*s shaimaa khaliljoins us now from adelaide. what a difference a year makes. banned from the country for three years, now he's back. what's the reaction been like there? i think this is very different way of starting the year than what he had last year. happy new year to you, happy new to sally and jon. the last time i reported on novak

djokovic, i was not standing outside a tennis court, i was not speaking about him playing tennis, i was outside a detention centre in melbourne where he was held after he arrived because he was questioned by immigration authorities. he had failed australia's covid—19 vaccination requirements and was held for ten days and despite successful legal challenge, he was deported on the eve of the australian open and denied the chance to clinch his tenth title. 12 months on, the decision has been overturned and he has been allowed back. he has started his first competition, his first match today. a doubles which he lost. not the best way to start his 2023 campaign. he hopes for a win tomorrow in his first singles. but he said he is happy to be back in australia and despite loving being here, this is where he plays his best tennis, he

says he will not forget what happened 12 months ago. we are lookin: happened 12 months ago. we are looking forward _ happened 12 months ago. we are looking forward to _ happened 12 months ago. we are looking forward to seeing - happened 12 months ago. we are looking forward to seeing him i happened 12 months ago. we are looking forward to seeing him in | looking forward to seeing him in action in the singles. thank you and happy new year to you. and from us, happy new year. the australian open starts two weeks today. i say this every year like it is a surprise. interesting to see him back and talking about the tennis this year. it was overshadowed last year. that was a crazy time. i cannot believe it was a year ago. i cannot believe it. we are getting old, time passes too quickly. speak for yourself. here's carol. there is a bit of ice around. that is right, i see in parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england and not surprising, lying snow especially in scotland. still cold as we can further south but not as cold. something worth

bearing in mind if you are stepping out. the rest of this week, the weather will be changeable, mostly mild but some colder it interludes and rain at times and often windy. at the moment, we have high pressure. rain pushes away and another weather front comes our way later. we are still in the cold air but tonight and tomorrow, mild air is coming and will push the cold air out of the way. a lot of dry weather this morning and some sunshine. showers pushing away from the south—east. further showers across parts of the west, but many will miss them. some of them could be wintry, even at low levels in the west of scotland. these are the maximum temperatures. this evening,

under clear skies, maximum temperatures. this evening, under clearskies, it maximum temperatures. this evening, under clear skies, it will be cold. some temperatures fall below freezing but it will not last because the weather front coming in from the west will not only bring heavy and persistent rain and strong winds, it will be accompanied by mild air. temperatures will actually rise through the night. tomorrow, this is the same whether front pushing eastwards. there will be a gap, it will be windy, then the next front comes in from the west. you can see the mild air pushing away the cold air represented by blue. more of a south—westerly wind, hence the mild conditions. as the rain bumps into the cold air across northern scotland and england, we could see transient snow but it will turn back to rain. these are the temperatures. moving from wednesday into thursday, we lose the area of low pressure and

you can see from the isobars it will be windy. we have the next system coming in on thursday. at the moment it looks like it will largely affect england and wales but the position of it might take it further north in which case northern ireland and scotland will see rain from that. into friday, wet weather in the south. drier conditions and fewer showers in the north. into the weekend, it remains unsettled. temperatures, always milder in the south. not a surprise. as the cost of living crisis continues to bite, many people are struggling to heat their homes. but they're not always aware of the help and support available. that's why one council has a team of advisers who are hitting the road in a bright blue van to spread the word. jo black reports. a little blue bus on a big mission. as more of us grapple

with the squeeze on our incomes and the cost of living, a team of council advisers is on the move across east cambridgeshire. they are seeking out people who need help. in ely, we meet this 61—year—old. she has been employed all her life. but a recent cleaning job has now come to an end. she wants to work but, for now, needs advice from the team about jobseeker�*s allowance. and she tells us just how stressed she feels about her finances. sleepless nights. i mean, i'vejust never sort of experienced this kind of worry before. it's really scary. away from the city, eight miles down the road, is haddenham. this time, the bus is parking up the village social club, where volunteers run a warm hub —

a place where local residents come to escape the cold and try to reduce costly heating bills at home. the government say you should live on £185 a week. virginia and her colleagues set to work. the fact that people have to come out of their houses to get warm because they cannot afford to heat their own houses is disgusting. i can't tell you how many phone calls we have daily to say they are struggling. we have people phoning up in tears. the crisis is real and people are struggling. people are struggling to feed their children. they are using food banks more than ever. what is it like at the moment? painful. it is very tough, very tough. we have to scrimp and save every single penny that we can. the way we do our shopping, the way we heat the house, the way we charge our phones, even. everything we take into consideration with what we do. every single penny is paramount to how we live our life,

which can be very, very tiring. it's nice to come where there is somewhere warm, and it's better than heating the whole house just for the two of us. i don't want him to be cold in the day, but, also, oil is very expensive. yeah, wejust come and hang out and have a nice cup of tea and chat to everyone. it's good. robin is the lead volunteer here. he says people who are not coping financially can become lonely. he hopes the warm hub means people do not have to choose between heating or eating. we are very proud of what we do here. we are sad, sad that we have to provide a facility like this. but we are proud of what we are doing here. so many people come and visit us. another day and another location. this time, the bus is on its way to littleport. in the village, richard visits the bus, also looking for advice about his fuel bills. he, too, says he is struggling. on my gas is one radiator and the hot water.

and that still costs me nearly £8 a day. for angela and her team, getting out and about with this bus is key, especially in a rural district like this one. we are seeing a lot of people who have never accessed services before. so they don't always want to walk into a council building. so we are taking it out on the road. we are seeing people we have never seen before. that is really good. as the new year comes in, this cost of living bus tour will continue, finding more people means there are plenty more miles to cover. the government says it's providing support worth £37 billion to help with bills this financial year, including a £15 billion energy bill rebate package. you might think the soaring cost of heating, food and fuel would reduce the amount we're giving to charity. that doesn't appear to be the case. the websitejustgiving — which provides a platform

for fundraisers — says it received more donations in 2022 than any previous year. 0livia hutchinson has more. we are all feeling the pinch at the moment and facing increases in things like food, utilities and rent. but it seems that is not necessarily putting us off giving money to charity. the online fundraising platform justgiving says it received more than half a billion pounds in donations last year. but as times change, so is the way people are parting with their money. the trend is that, overall, slightly fewer give but those who feel they can give give more. in the second half of last year, the average donation increased from £33 to £36, which more than made up for the fact that some people quite understandably felt they could not give any longer at all. these charity givers in salford told breakfast they will probably have to re—evaluate themselves. definitely still want to give but it will maybe be less. see what is realistic. i would like, if i am struggling, somebody to help me. so i would love to still help

someone, even if i am struggling myself, because we just have to care for each other. especially with rising electricity prices, you have got to see i where your money is coming out. yeah, i think it is harder to have that regular payment. you would probably do it more spontaneously now, rather than, like, knowing that it is coming out every month. while the future may look uncertain for many charities as the cost—of—living crisis continues, it appears there is still some hope when it comes to helping those in need. the youngest person to raise money onjustgiving last year was violet morley, who was just 16 months old when she collected nearly £600 for yorkshire's brain tumour charity. violetjoins us now with mum sarah and dad simon. we can also say hello to the charity's boss marie peacock. good morning, everyone, but

particularly to violet. can you give me a little wave, please? hello. she did wave a minute ago. are you going to wait? lia. hello. she did wave a minute ago. are you going to wait?— are you going to wait? no. tell us about violet _ are you going to wait? no. tell us about violet and _ are you going to wait? no. tell us about violet and her— are you going to wait? no. tell us about violet and her amazing i about violet and her amazing contribution. brute about violet and her amazing contribution.— about violet and her amazing contribution. ~ . ., ., ., contribution. we decided to do it to rive back contribution. we decided to do it to give back to — contribution. we decided to do it to give back to the _ contribution. we decided to do it to give back to the charity _ contribution. we decided to do it to give back to the charity because i give back to the charity because they helped us so much, after my diagnosis with the brain tumour. we thought it would be a way to give back. violet had just started walking so the first couple of days she was still wobbly. but she did really well with the steps. she smashed the target straightaway. 16 months we did 1600 as the target. but she managed to do over 2000 steps. we but she managed to do over 2000 ste s. ~ .., but she managed to do over 2000 ste s. ~ .. ., but she managed to do over 2000 stes. ~ ., , steps. we can rewind a second because not — steps. we can rewind a second because not everyone - steps. we can rewind a second because not everyone will i steps. we can rewind a second because not everyone will have j because not everyone will have caught what you said at the start.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. patients at risk and some a&e departments in a "complete state of crisis" — that's the warning from a group of senior emergency care doctors as the nhs battles extreme winter pressures. two men charged with the murder of footballer cody fisher will appear at birmingham magistrates' court today. after a tough couple of years for the travel industry, airlines and travel agents are hoping for a new year boost as people start planning their summer holidays. i'll be finding out if now is the best time to snap up a good deal. thousands of brazilians prepare to say goodbye to football legend pele. his coffin has been taken to the stadium of the club where he first found fame, with a public wake due to take place later. and my shipmate, particular shipmate, said, "make the most of your 25th, harry, because the way this is going, you may

not see your 26th." the extraordinary story of io6—year—old harry waddingham, who was one of only 2a crew members who survived after his ship was torpedoed during the second world war. good morning. happy new year. for many it is a cold start. a lot of dry weather. a fair bit of sunshine. a few showers in the north and west and light winds. the weather beyond today is changeable. details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday, january 2nd. senior doctors are warning that some a&e departments are in a "complete state of crisis" because of the extreme pressures facing the nhs this winter. the royal college of emergency medicine says it's impossible to provide the best standard of care, and it adds there's no doubt patients are being harmed. louisa pilbeam has the details. patients lying in a&e corridors...

...ambulance delays, and staff who say they're at breaking point, and surging flu cases, all at a critical time for the nhs. the diagnosis from a leading emergency care doctor? unless there's more investment in services, patients are at risk. there is no doubt that when we are trying to treat frail, vulnerable, elderly patients on trolleys in corridors, they are bound to come to harm, and there is absolutely bound to be an association with unnecessary deaths as a result. these are human beings in the middle of this. meanwhile, the president of the royal college of emergency medicine, dr adrian boyle, told times radio he estimates those unnecessary deaths could reach between 300 and 500 every week. in december, a&e waiting times and ambulance response times hit their worst levels on record across the uk. in november 2021, just under 11,000 people waited more than 12 hours in a&e in england for

a decision on being admitted. by november 2022, that figure had leapt tojust under 38,000. senior doctors in scotland and wales have made similar warnings about hospitals under pressure. the government say they recognise the pressures, and say they are providing £1“ billion in additionalfunding for health and social care over the next two years, and an extra £500 million to try to free up hospital discharges and hospital beds. cheering. however, these warnings come as nhs staff prepare to take further action over pay with more strikes by ambulance workers and nurses planned this month. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent iain watson. pressure on the nhs, winter pressures anyway, but strike action

smoother 2023. the signs are that demand for travel will be there. indeed it's estimated that more than two thirds of us are already prioritising a trip abroad this year, especially as the last couple of years have been very difficult for customers and travel businesses alike. one popular booking site told us that searches in the last year of december flights leaving the uk were up december flights leaving the uk were up 90% compared with the same week in november. of course, january is always a popular time to book, but the experts say you are likely to get a better deal if you book early. that is because inflation remains stubbornly high and costs continue to rise for most industries. and with many of us watching our spending at the moment, it's expected demand will soar, in particularfor package expected demand will soar, in particular for package holidays and for other type of all—inclusive deals, where essentially you know what you are paying up front. what about where to go? let's speak to

but then temperatures starting to rise from the west as we head into tomorrow morning. it will be turning wetter and windier. the weather front tomorrow morning will give us outbreaks of rain. that will last on and off through the afternoon. it will be cloudy and it will feel milder. temperatures starting to come up. wednesday, largely dry. it will be rather blustery. there will be some more rain by the time we get to thursday. that's it from me. more on our website and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. on bank holiday monday. it is a bank holiday? it is monday and a bank holiday. holly is here. a

momentous few days coming up in brazil. huge couple of days for the world of football, south america, brazil, and a time to say goodbye to pele. when the news came it was not a huge shock. he had not been well. but i think the world of football has needed the past days to come to terms with this loss. we have heard incredible tributes. i think the coming days in brazil we will see exactly what this man means to this country with a public wake taking place throughout the day. pele's coffin has been taken to his former club santos where thousands of fans will pay their respects ahead of tomorrow's funeral cortege. i'm joined now by south american footballjournalist tim vickery who's there. i have heard your tributes. you know what this man means that the country. talk me through what has been happening and the process of grieving since thursday. it has

been happening and the process of grieving since thursday. it has been on the back — grieving since thursday. it has been on the back burner— grieving since thursday. it has been on the back burner the _ grieving since thursday. it has been on the back burner the past - grieving since thursday. it has been on the back burner the past couple l on the back burner the past couple of days first because of new year's eve and yesterday the inauguration of the new president in brazil. lula returning. there has been a pause in the mourning. that pause has given time for the news to sink in. when we heard he had died, it did not come as a surprise. the nation was braced, in a way, for this news. over the past couple of days, there has been time for it to sink in that wow, he is gone. someone who has always been there as a reference. it feels like we are saying goodbye to a part of our own inner child. so there is even more gravitas to the

occasion after the couple of days when the focus has been on other things. irate when the focus has been on other thins. ~ ., ., ., , ., ,., things. we have had details about what will happen _ things. we have had details about what will happen today _ things. we have had details about what will happen today and - things. we have had details about - what will happen today and tomorrow. his final resting place somewhere he had picked himself. and his final resting place somewhere he had picked himself.— had picked himself. and the location ofthat had picked himself. and the location of that is significant. _ had picked himself. and the location of that is significant. it _ had picked himself. and the location of that is significant. it is. _ had picked himself. and the location of that is significant. it is. what - of that is significant. it is. what will happen is the body, we are at 5.30 in the morning in brazil. please cut me some slack! the body arrived an hour and a half ago, coming down the hill from sao paulo to santos and even at that time of the morning was greeted by lots of fans. from 10am, the coffin is placed in a centre circle and open to the public for a period we expect around 24—hour is. the body has been embalmed and therefore it is an open coffin. people can come in and see. i think lots of people have

travelled from afar to be part of this process. tomorrow, after the wake, there will be a procession through the streets of santos which is expected to pass by the house where his mother still lives at the age of 100, before going to the cemetery he picked himself. it is in the guinness book of records, a vertical cemetery standing tall. pele will be on the ninth floor with a view of the stadium at santos he graced for so long. he picked it himself. he said it is a last resting place with peace and tranquillity. his sister, she was talking about the last conversation she had with her brother and she said he went in peace. so that is some comfort, as well, to millions of fans all around the world. we are

all thinking of part of our inner child. ., ., . ., , child. you touched on it, it is still early _ child. you touched on it, it is still early in _ child. you touched on it, it is still early in the _ child. you touched on it, it is still early in the morning - child. you touched on it, it is still early in the morning but| child. you touched on it, it is| still early in the morning but i child. you touched on it, it is - still early in the morning but i am not surprised to hear there are people already out, wanting to pay respects. we are talking about someone who feels almost like royalty where you are. everybody wants to be a part of what is history. wants to be a part of what is histo . . , wants to be a part of what is histo . ., , , ., ., history. royalty. this word, a king. it is so significant. _ history. royalty. this word, a king. it is so significant. this _ history. royalty. this word, a king. it is so significant. this is _ it is so significant. this is someone born 52 years after brazil abolished slavery. a poor black kid, abolished slavery. a poor black kid, a one—time shoeshine boy who ended up a one—time shoeshine boy who ended up shining more brightly than anyone else in the history of football. and this descendant of recently enslaved leaves the stage as the undisputed king of the global game. a wonderful life story that pays tribute to the democratic nature of football. you

do not need expensive equipment, it is open to everyone, and also the unbelievable talent and dedication of someone who became so good in this most competitive fields. l of someone who became so good in this most competitive fields. h mm this most competitive fields. i am sure today — this most competitive fields. i am sure today and — this most competitive fields. i am sure today and tomorrow will feel surreal for someone who has followed his career so closely. thank you. the pressure is mounting on tottenham boss antonio conte after his side lost 2—0 at home to aston villa in the premier league. emi buendia opened the scoring for villa, before douglas luiz doubled the lead. the defeat means that spurs have only won two of their last seven matches in the league. the team was booed off by some home fans at full—time. the club knows very well what is my opinion about the situation, and i continue to repeat that before to become competitive, to win, you have to create a solid foundation, to put important players, quality players.

and for quality players you have to invest much money to do it. this is a process. this is the process if you want to win. nottingham forest drew one—all with chelsea at the city ground. serge aurier�*s equaliser followed raheem sterling's opener. chelsea are eighth, forest move up a place to third from bottom. northampton put a big dent in harlequins' premiership title hopes, thrashing them by 46 points to 17 at franklin's gardens. james ramm crossed the line twice, with the saints running in six tries. they move up to fifth place while harlequins remain third. there was a thrilling finish to ospreys' match with cardiff in the united rugby championship with the game in the 85th minute, jarrod evans had the chance to kick cardiff level with a penalty. the ball bounced back from the line, and somehow ospreys managed to steer it out of harm's way, and they won 22—19. scarlets recorded only their second

league win this season. they beat fellow strugglers dragons with johnny mcnicholl scoring the third of their three tries. and ben healy scored a try for munster in the final seconds to help them beat ulster in belfast. healy then went on to convert the try himself, with the final score 15—11t. elsewhere, leinster beat connacht1t1—12. leinster have apologised after a pro ira song was played after their win. in statement, the club said it has taken measures to ensure it doesn't happen again and apologises sincerely for any offence caused. there's been a big upset at the world darts championship at alexandra palace. gabriel clemens knocked out world number one gerwyn price beating the welshman 5—1 in their quarter—final. price controversiallly took to the oche wearing ear defenders

in the fifth set in an attempt to drown out the crowd noise, but it wasn't enough as clemens made history becoming the first german to reach the semifinal stage. he'll play england's michael smith later. three—time world champion michael van gerwen is also into the last four. the dutchman swept aside england's chris dobey, winning by five sets to nil and will face dimitri van den bergh this evening. all coming to a head. i do not know if we will see any more ear defenders. they drown out the fireworks, that helps. i think they would be distracting. i am not a darts player but there has to be balance. defenders would be distracting? yes. you would think the noises distracting but is that not part of it? it is part of it, surely. christmas is not over until the

darts is over. thank you. around 60,000 babies a year are born prematurely in the uk and cared for in neonatal units, but it's hard to find tiny clothes which can be easily removed for medical observations and treatment. a mum from nottinghamshire has teamed up with a neonatal nurse to design and hand—make premature baby clothes, so that every parent has the chance to dress their child for the first time. rebecca brice reports. he had various wires and monitors. i couldn't really see his face. i could just see this bright red, very fragile, very skinny baby very skinny baby that looked, honestly, to me, more like a broken bird. kayden was born nine weeks prematurely. he was immediately put on an incubator and fed through achieved. incubator and fed through a tube. ijust looked at him and i was just really scared.

i was scared for him and scared for his future and overwhelmed and fearful. lorna is now turning the trauma into a positive by making specialist vests for tiny babies in neonatal care units. this one is called little pickle and it is up sfive lb. and we make one even smaller which is called dinky, and that is up to 3lb. beth morris, a neonatal nurse, collaborated on the design to make sure medics can easily get to the babies and equipment. we started superdinky because we wanted to give parents that first moment of dressing your child. it is something we take for granted when babies are born at term, but actually finding clothes small enough for tiny premature babies, clothes this small, it is really hard. there just isn't much choice and beautiful, joyful prints out there. this is an outfit that he wore, i think he was a month old when he wore this one. i think even our friends and family were in a state of shock. we were googling survival rates and looking at the long—term disability rates. i think there was this real feeling of fear rather than celebration. nearly four years on, kayden is a thriving child and the business has given lorna

a supportive online community. parents can talk to each other, share tips and validate and see each other's experiences, because that is such an important part of healing. lorna is now pregnant with her second child. i definitely feel supported and uplifted and brave enough to go for another pregnancy where there is a risk of prematurity because of that community. that was rebecca brice reporting. it isa it is a bank holiday. you might be going outside. here's carol. you can tell us what to wear, crucially. i would say wrap up warm today. a cold start today. ice on untreated services in scotland, northern ireland and england. the rest of this week, the weather will be changeable. mostly mild. there will be rain at times. then we will

see chilly interludes. i want to see that on the charts. tomorrow, mild air streams across, represented by yellow, and then the blue comes back as we head towards the end of this week and into the weekend. this morning, showers moving from the far south—east. showers in parts of the north and west and some will be wintry in scotland. largely on higher ground. a lot of dry weather and blue skies and light wind. feeling cooler than yesterday. 4—11. under clear skies, when it gets dark, the temperature will fall away and it will be a cold evening. by the end of the night, the weather front comes in introducing rain and strong winds. mild air follows behind. in the west in particular, temperatures go up by the time we get to the end of the night.

tomorrow, a band rain drifts east. as it bumps into colder air in the east, we will see transient snow. a dry interlude before the next band of rain. tomorrow will be more windy. also mild. five in aberdeen. 12 in cardiff. wednesday, rain clears from the south—east and then it is a day of bright spells, showers. once again windy, more so than on tuesday. also mild. some parts of the south and east could get up to 1a, possibly 15. in the north and west, 7—11. on thursday, all change once again with atlantic fronts coming in. we think it will be cloudy and wet in england and wales but this could drift north, taking rain across northern ireland

and scotland, where it will be cloudy. temperatures, they will be 7-13. cloudy. temperatures, they will be 7—13. towards the latter part of the week, on friday, it looks like it will be dry cooler. some showers. saturday and sunday, cold and unsettled. windy at times. showers and longer spells of rain and some of those wintry on the hills. the weather this week will be fairly changeable. it will keep you on your toes. it's time now for another story from the bbc�*s "we were there" collection of interviews with veterans of the second world war. harry waddingham was just 16 when hejoined the royal navy in 1932. he's now 106 but — as you'll hear — his memories of the war, and his part in it, remain incredibly vivid. robert hall went to meet him.

at st peter's church in bexhill on sea, a moment to celebrate a special occasion and a special member of this congregation. harry waddingham, in his 107th year, was barely out of his teens when hejoined up. he's a navy man through and through with stories of sea battles, comradeship and good fortune. like the day off the beaches of dunkirk when his ship was destroyed in a sudden attack. really, you never slept. and my memory of those days was of constant tiredness. hardly able to stand on one foot and take the roll of the ship. hardly able to stand on one's feet and take the roll of the ship. and wherever i stood, i used to hold on to a locker handle or something, and then almost nod off. it was a torpedo from a german boat. suddenly there was a bang

and the ship went down. those who were on the outer parts of the upper deck must have been catapulted into the air and dropped in the sea. and others still with it. and of course, the ship was packed, wasn't it? soldiers — 600 soldiers, plus a crew of about 200. and only those on the upper deck survived. harry was transferred to hms mendip, patrolling the east coast, and, once again, faced frequent air and sea battles. the class destroyers were generally only 900 tonnes, which in ship terms is very small. but they were over—gunned for their size. that's why they were a bit top—heavy always. pandemonium,

action stations, it really was. and the scamper of feet... you were expected to be all positions ready in two to three minutes. now, if you're going from the deck, it's a long way to go. i had a balaclava. then i had a leather motorcycle helmet. then i had another balaclava with holes cut out for the eyes. i wore that back to front, which kept me reasonably warm. at the four corners around the gun turret, which is constantly swivelling from left to right, according to whether they're firing, there are four flat hatches, spring loaded. yourjob is to grasp this oil covered projectile and pull yourjob is to grasp this oil—covered projectile and pull the whole projectile with a brass cartridge attached out from the deck.

when the gun fires, it ejects just brass cartridge quite rapidly enough if it hit you to not go over. so you have to keep out of the way of ejected brass cartridges. and, at the same time, keep groping around below foot level to pull out another cartridge. your hands are cold. you can't wear gloves, because they'll be caught in the mechanism of the gun. harry's memory for detail fascinates everyone who hears his experiences. among them, his wife, colette, who spent her war as a child in occupied paris. i'm extremely proud of what he went through and what he did. i've heard the stories so many times i could almost, you know, recount some of them. what all of them went through, you know, we wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for them. i love him for what he is and what he went through.

i spent my 25th birthday in a destroyer�*s mess tent, when everybody offered you his rum. and my shipmate, particular shipmate, said, "make the most of your 25th, harry, because the way this is going, you may not see your 26th." and i remember that. # happy birthday to you...# 80 birthdays on from that day, harry waddingham's pride in a duty well done still shines as brightly as the medals on his chest. robert hall, bbc news, east sussex.

well done harry. 106. you might know somebody like harry who has a story to share, maybe he has not talked publicly about his experiences before. we would love to hear some more of those stories. that is because the bbc will gather as many first—hand accounts from surviving veterans as possible to preserve them for future generations. you veterans as possible to preserve them forfuture generations. you can e—mail or get in touch on the bbc news website. look forward to hearing those. it is the 2nd of january. look forward to hearing those. it is the 2nd ofjanuary. if look forward to hearing those. it is the 2nd of january. if you look forward to hearing those. it is the 2nd ofjanuary. if you made look forward to hearing those. it is the 2nd of january. if you made a new year resolution, are you still with it? is it still intact? can you survive with it? dr rangan chatterjee should be able to help. he is here to talk about how we can feel a little bit better because it

is five years since you have talked on your podcast about changing our lives, attitudes. the 2nd of january, here we are. with that experience as a former gp and 125 million listens to your podcast, what is the top tip on the 2nd of january to start 2023? this what is the top tip on the 2nd of january to start 2023?— january to start 2023? this is something — january to start 2023? this is something i _ january to start 2023? this is something i have _ january to start 2023? this is something i have thought - january to start 2023? this is i something i have thought about january to start 2023? this is - something i have thought about over my two decades of practice. why is it that people with the best intentions at this time of year, because nobody lacks motivation and willpower now, why is it that many resolutions fail by the end of january? i think there are two key rules of behaviour change people are not following at this time of year which is why they struggle. the two rules, we need to apply them in our life. number one, you have to make the new behaviour easy. we make them too hard and the problem with that is we overly rely on motivation.

motivation goes up and down. you have to plan for your motivation being down. i do a five minute strength work—out every morning. because it is five minutes only i do it every day. make it easy and the second rule is where are you going to put this new behaviour? a lot of us do not think about it. the most effective way is you stick the new behaviour onto existing habits. i do my work—out as i make my coffee. that is a habit, i do not need a reminder to do it, it will happen. as it brews i do my five minute kitchen work—out in my pyjamas. if people think about things they have tried to do in the past and may be tried to do in the past and may he failed, i encourage them to think about following those rules. if people want to know more about habits, the latest podcast is about habits, the latest podcast is about habits and how we can make new

habits and how we can make new habits stick. latte habits and how we can make new habits stick.— habits stick. we over commit ourselves. — habits stick. we over commit ourselves, over _ habits stick. we over commit ourselves, over promise? - habits stick. we over commit | ourselves, over promise? we habits stick. we over commit - ourselves, over promise? we could never do it? — ourselves, over promise? we could never do it? we _ ourselves, over promise? we could never do it? we wake _ ourselves, over promise? we could never do it? we wake up _ ourselves, over promise? we could never do it? we wake up think - ourselves, over promise? we could never do it? we wake up think i - ourselves, over promise? we could never do it? we wake up think i am going spinning forfour never do it? we wake up think i am going spinning for four times a week and for the first two weeks they managed to do it but what happens two weeks in is real life happens. stressful day, kids need help with homework, are relativistic. something happens and gets in the way. if your goal is to go to the gym to a spinning class for one hour, you will not do it. the reason i have not missed a day in three years of the morning work—out is nothing to do with motivation. i do nothing to do with motivation. i do not have more motivation than any of the viewers, ijust not have more motivation than any of the viewers, i just applied not have more motivation than any of the viewers, ijust applied those rules and that is why it happens. habits are interesting. people might have unhealthy habits they want to break. if you have people watching

who perhaps want to stop eating chocolate, stop smoking, cut down on drinking. do you just try to stop, or do you have to replace a habit with something else? we or do you have to replace a habit with something else?— with something else? we are all different. there _ with something else? we are all different. there are _ with something else? we are all different. there are many - with something else? we are all different. there are many ways. with something else? we are all. different. there are many ways to tackle this. what you want to do is look at your environment. the environment influences behaviour more than we think. if you do not want to eat so much chocolate or as many crisps, do not keep them in the house. it is that basic? it is because if they are there, you will crack at some point and have them. i'm not saying they should or shouldn't. i have a rule myself. i do not keep biscuits and chocolates in the house. if on a stressful day... i would in the house. if on a stressful day... iwould be in the house. if on a stressful day... i would be searching around the cupboards looking for something and all i can see is nuts and olives. and i think i don't want that at this time. when it comes to

food at least, take a pause. if you have a craving for sugar, ask yourself what am i really feeling? am i really hungry? is this an emotional hunger? am i stressed out? has the bedtime for the children gone too long, have i had a row? i have had a day when i am online all day and ifeel have had a day when i am online all day and i feel yucky and this is a treat. if you identify it, you might still have it, but you now understand that next time you're stressed, maybe you do not need chocolate but maybe you need a bath. this is what we try to cover on the podcast each week. habits change, happiness, nutrition, and sleep. it is not as hard as we think. that is why i am keen to spread the messages. do we make it too hard? we do. i have been here many times

before. on the podcast i try to show people health has become over complicated. 80—90% of what we see is doctors is in some way connected to modern lifestyles. i am not putting blame on people. i know life is tough and people struggle to pay bills and struggle with stress. but this is causing problems. the reason why i keep doing the podcast five years on is because i get hundreds if not thousands of messages every week saying it has helped me reverse depression, my anxiety is better, i no longer have type 2 diabetes, my relationship is better. all of these things play into health, it is not just one thing. things play into health, it is not just one thing-— things play into health, it is not 'ust one thin. . ~ ., just one thing. thank you. i did not want chocolate _ just one thing. thank you. i did not want chocolate until— just one thing. thank you. i did not want chocolate until you _ just one thing. thank you. i did not want chocolate until you talked - want chocolate until you talked about it and now i want it. you need to listen to the podcast. rangan's podcast is called feel better, live more.
