good morning. it's tuesday, the 3rd of january. millions of people are returning to work and school after the festive break today, but a fresh wave of rail workers�* strikes mean most of those who travel by train will need to make alternative arrangements. rmt members have started a 48—hour stoppage, with another two—day walkout planned for friday and saturday. some drivers will also strike on thursday. it's part of a long—running dispute over pay and conditions, as our business correspondent marc ashdown reports. a new year, but no end in sight in this bitter dispute. train passengers returning to work after the festive period are facing delays, disruption and cancellations. just 20% of the uk's rail network will operate today and tomorrow. if you're lucky enough to have trains running near you, they'll be starting much later, and will finish by early evening. it's a headache for people like corinne, who's on a zero hours

contracts, and will now struggle to get to work. i support the right to strike, absolutely. so i don't begrudge the strike. but how long it's going on for, it leads to accumulated stress and rage. the dispute over pay, working conditions and job security has been rumbling on since june last year. it involves around 40,000 members of the rmt union in a range ofjobs at 1a train operators, as well as network rail. union members will walk out for another 48 hours on friday. meanwhile, a 24—hour strike by train drivers at the aslef union on thursday, is also expected to result in widespread disruption. the unions say they are willing to get back around the negotiating table, but that the table is bare. rail operators and network rail say they've made fair and reasonable pay offers, and have once again apologised to customers for the ongoing disruption. the department for transport said the government was being reasonable and stood ready to facilitate an end to the rail disputes. marc ashdown, bbc news. our business correspondent

and have a fever, to avoid infecting others. and the advice is not just for children. the agency's chief medical adviser, susan hopkins, says adults who are unwell should also stay home and should wear a face covering if they have to go out. they should avoid health care settings and vulnerable people. the reason for the concern, a rising number of cases of flu, covid and scarlet fever, which is caused by the strep a infection. nhs england says 9,500 people are currently in hospital with covid. add on to that almost 4000 people with flu, and it means 13% of hospital beds in england are being occupied by people with those two illnesses. and all this comes with doctors saying some a&e departments are already in a complete state of crisis, to the extent that it's causing patients harm.

i come to work to treat patients, to make people better ultimately. that's why we go into it. it sounds very simple, but that's what we do. and it hurts to see that people are coming to harm. and to see people coming in sicker than they necessarily should have been, because of some of these problems that are occurring. and at the worst case — i've spoken to paramedics, for instance, who have arrived at the scene of patients after long delays, only to find they've already passed away. many hospital staff say they're already at their limit. and there's more strike action plan by nurses and ambulance staff over pay and conditions. jon donnison, bbc news. a procession through the streets of santos will take place later today for brazilian footballing legend pele, before a private family ceremony and his burial. the player, who was the only person ever to win the world cup three times, died last week at the age of 82. 0ur south america correspondent

katy watson reports. what a send—off for brazil's king of football as he began his final journey. pele came home to santos football club, his coffin laid on the pitch where he made his name. brazilians did not want to miss their chance to pay their respects, a moment for reflection, and sadness, that his great presence has gone. the queue began at dawn and grew throughout the day. despite the searing summer heat, brazilians young and old came from far and wide, to see the man who revolutionised football and made this country famous. he is the number one ambassador this country in the world, in my opinion. so, if you travel abroad and you talk about brazil, the first word you see coming back is, "you are from from pele's country. " we grew up with him, especially the streets where i grew up, he used to go to the supermarket.

every day we say hello to pele. that was normal for us. "i never saw him play," this little boy told me, "but we'll really miss him because he was the best footballer in the world." for those who knew him well, the memories kept flowing. translation: he was a fantastic person. - he had a generous heart, he was kind, notjust because he was the athlete of the century, but he was a simple man. he always looked after people in a really sincere way. he was humble. that's my biggest memory of him, of pele, as a man and a great athlete. as the sun went down the people kept coming. the queue kept on going through the day. and just look at it now come overnight. i spoke to one brazilian who said, "we don't have a monarchy. "pele was the closest thing to it. "people just want to say goodbye." tears, emotion and a celebration of the king.

his biggest fans said goodbye to pele in style. from here, the coffin will be taken through the streets of santos ahead of a private family burial. katy watson, bbc news in santos. prince harry has said he wants his father and brother back, in a new interview ahead of the release of his upcoming memoir spare. in a trailer for the sit—down interview with itv, he says, "they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile", although it is not clear who he is referring to. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph has more. they are the first hints of what this book will offer. the trailers from itv and cbs in america, released ahead of the publication of spare, point to a bitter family fallout. it never needed to be this way. the leaking and the planting. i want a family, not an institution. they feel as though it's better to keep us somehow as the villains. they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile. i would like to get my father back. i would like to have

my brother back. getting his father and his brother back won't be easy. the royal family presented a united front without harry and meghan this christmas. but harry has repeated his claims that the family is an institution that didn't support him with a media set against him. these new interviews have both been done by experienced journalists, and there is a sense that they may be more challenging. one of the criticisms that you've received is that, well, 0k, fine, you want to move to california, you want to step back from the institutional role. why be so public? you say you tried to do this privately. and every single time i've tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife. you know, the family motto is, never complain, never explain. but it's just a motto. it's hard to see how these interviews will help a family reconciliation. prince harry has again voiced his anger, his sadness and his frustration.

and buckingham palace has again made no comment. an assessment ofjust how damaging these new interviews will be, can be made when they're broadcast next weekend. daniela relph, bbc news. former earth, wind & fire drummer fred white has died at the age of 67. he was one of the founding members of the us band, and played on hits including september and boogie wonderland. the group won six grammys and four american music awards, as well as entering the rock and roll hall of fame in 2000. white's death was announced on instagram. they were some tunes. we should play them every morning. _ they were some tunes. we should play them every morning. i _ they were some tunes. we should play them every morning. i think— they were some tunes. we should play them every morning. i think we - they were some tunes. we should play them every morning. i think we will. i them every morning. i think we will. a bit of an update. _

thor the walrus has been on the move again — this time popping up in blyth. after spending new year's eve in scarborough, he's since migrated 100 miles north to the northumberland town where he's been relaxing on a pontoon. wildlife experts say it's a good sign that thor is heading in the direction of his natural habitat. people are being urged to leave the walrus in peace. don't go near. you would definitely leave him in peace! i don't go near. you would definitely leave him in peace!— leave him in peace! i feel a bit like a thaw _ leave him in peace! i feel a bit like a thaw at _ leave him in peace! i feel a bit like a thaw at the _ leave him in peace! i feel a bit like a thaw at the moment - leave him in peace! i feel a bit. like a thaw at the moment after christmas and new year. it is getting cold again. good morning. it is a cold start for some. we have got some frost in eastern scotland and northern england but milder air and eastern scotland and northern england but milderairand rain in the west. today is going to be a wet and windy day as we go through the

day. fog to watch out for it to the west of london. salisbury plain kind of area. you can see the rain piling in from the west. temperatures in the west went up through the night. any early brightness will be replaced by all these cloud and rain moving from the west towards the east with a transient period of snow on the hills in scotland. as the milder air does come in, we could see some issues with localised flooding. last week there were some issues in dumfries and galloway. this area in particular is sensitive to more rain. temperatures up on yesterday. i! to more rain. temperatures up on yesterday. 11 12th, 13th further south. in the sunshine and the high line is sensitive to more rain. temperatures up yesterday. iith, temperatures up yesterday. 11th, 12th, 13th further south. in the sunshine and the high lines we —— islands we are not in the milder air yet. 0vernight islands we are not in the milder air yet. overnight at the bands of rain pushed towards the east, pushed towards the east, push north as well. it is going to be windy tonight as we go through the night. some clear skies as well. a

significantly milder night than last night. these temperatures are higher than the daytime temperatures at this time of the year. through tomorrow we have this weather front fairly close to the south of england through the english channel. some showers. more cloud in southern counties turning the sunshine hazy. showers in the central swathe of the uk. in between, brighterskies. 0n uk. in between, brighterskies. on wednesday, 13, 1a, possibly even 15 degrees. so, mild. but temperatures are going up and down through the courts of the week. all change.- courts of the week. all change. you may remember a few months ago, we brought you a story about our bbc colleague sean dilley, whose guide dog sammy was retiring, leaving him facing a two year wait for a replacement. that's because during the pandemic the charity guide dogs had to pause its breeding and training programmes for the first time in its history. now the charity wants to recruit more volunteers to ensure more matches can be made.

sean's been to meet one of the puppy trainers. are you my little star? meet archie... ..and his puppy raiser, lisa. archie? touch! they're learning what makes a good guide dog. good boy. so the reason that we use hand touch is so when archie is placed with a visually impaired person, obviously they can't see when he's running back, when he's coming. so they can pop out this hand as a target. and archie's getting his head around some things he may need to quit if he's to win a working harness. he'll have to learn what this is for. lisa's is one of more than 2000 households giving their time for free to help raise guide dog puppies for around a year. it's opened up a whole new world. i've made lots of new friends, ifeel part of a community that i wasn't before. not only that, obviously you're doing something very good at the end of the day. it's all around really rewarding. soon we'll follow lisa as she hands herfirst

puppy, fergal, into guide dogs for his advanced training. what are the emotions that are going through your head today? if i'm honest, i'd say proud. i think that's my biggest one. so proud of what i've done. really proud of him! lisa hopes that both of her dogs will give somebody their independence. i honestly think they are doing their absolute best. like me, kelly is waiting to train with a new guide dog. that means getting out is a lot harder. walking with a cane is like walking with one hand tied behind your back. it is really, really difficult. kelly's second dog, river, retired lastjuly. she's waiting for the right match. this doesn't only affect her, but her 15—month—old daughter. i'm the one who can't take her out when i want to, i have to say. "well, let's wait for daddy", or, "let's wait till we go see anna and granddad". i can do everything else she needs,

and i'm her mummy and i love her, and i'm the one that's there when she has her nightmares and i play with her. it doesn't impact on our relationship, but i think it impacts on how i feel about the job i'm doing as a mum. watch the tree. so why do guide dog users like me and kelly find ourselves in between dogs? the answer lies here at the charity's national breeding centre. good girl! bill's been explaining to me that the waiting lists are currently a bit longer than guide dogs would like them to be for life—changing guide dogs. purely for research purposes, you understand, i might have to stroke puppies like bill and many, many other puppies. is this the bestjob in the world, or what?! guide dogs is the largest breeder of assistance animals in the world. before the pandemic, they bred as many as 1500 dogs in a year. but during that time they stopped for five months and lost a third of their puppy raisers. so, that is our puppy reception. the breeding programme is recovering,

but guide dog says what it needs now is more people. guide dogs could not do what we do with our volunteers. so we are, at the moment, looking very heavily to recruit lots of volunteers. and we've been very lucky that a lot of people have been so generous with their time. and we are in recovery mode and we are hopeful for the future. but we do need a little bit of patience for a little bit longer, as these dogs make their way through the system. as you said, these little puppies here, that we saw today, it will take about two years for them to make partnership. paige? hi, pup! are you a puppy? yes, you are! this may seem odd and a little dramatic. big eyes and floppy ears. but it's one way social skills are assessed. you're such a good puppy! sniff it. and these are some of the problem solving skills paige will need if she's to make it as a guide dog. at around seven weeks old, these pups will be dropped off to their puppy raising families. for lisa's first pup, fergal,

it's the end of one journey, but the start of another. i've got all this. i'm packing the three toys up from home. his biscuits that i always give him — half a biscuit at bedtime. this, i've had it made and had his name put on it and his id number. the day has come for fergal to start his advanced training. that means lisa must say a painful goodbye. i want him as upset as little as possible. they're his toys. there you go, you get a big boy lead now. bye—bye, sweetheart. many guide dog users stay in touch with their puppy raisers. but many do not. thanks a lot. i'll ring you tomorrow. lisa knows this could be the last time she sees fergal. yeah, i'm fine.

it's hard, but you've got to remember why you're doing it. guide dogs say they need more volunteers like lisa to help cut waiting times. people like us are needed so much to help people like you. the tears are worth it. wow. are you all right? no! i don't thinki wow. are you all right? no! i don't think! can — wow. are you all right? no! i don't think i can carry — wow. are you all right? no! i don't think i can carry on. _ wow. are you all right? no! i don't think i can carry on. what - wow. are you all right? no! i don't think i can carry on. what an - think i can carry on. what an incredible thing to do, to work with a dog like that and handed on to the next stage. i a dog like that and handed on to the next staue. ., , ., , next stage. i thought they would be eo - le next stage. i thought they would be peeple queueing — next stage. i thought they would be people queueing around _ next stage. i thought they would be people queueing around the - next stage. i thought they would be people queueing around the block. | people queueing around the block. but i guess it is a huge commitment. we arejoined by but i guess it is a huge commitment. we are joined by somebody later in the programme who can talk us through the reality of the job, the challenges. and we have got a dog coming in. d0 challenges. and we have got a dog cominu in. i. ~ ., challenges. and we have got a dog cominu in. ,, ~ ., ., coming in. do you know what we really need _ coming in. do you know what we really need now? _ coming in. do you know what we really need now? some - coming in. do you know what we | really need now? some beautiful pictures of guide dogs? let's look

thursday. there's to be an urgent review into how some people managed to — in the words of police — "force their way past hoardings and fencing" during the new year's eve fireworks event along london's embankment. the mayor of london said the circumstances will be reviewed to ensure lessons were learnt. at one point officers had to draw their batons, but there were no injuries. gatwick airport is urging anyone who got a drone for christmas to not fly them near the airport. a 5km exclusion zone exists around all airports — that's just over three miles — but a drone flying near gatwick a few years ago caused chaos for passengers and staff, as it delayed and cancelled over 1,000 flights. this is why it matters. if a drone were to be spotted near an airport, then the airport would generally divert all its flights and that would cause major disruption for the airport of course. because they have to err on the side of

caution, even though you might think, "it's a tiny little drone, what could it possibly do to a huge airliner?" you know that's not the logic they have to follow. let's take a look at the tubes now. i've told you about the rail strike — and that's having an impact on several tube lines — like the bakerloo, district and elizabeth line. it means part—suspensions are in place. other reasons for delays this morning include train cancelations — and a faulty train on the northern line. so do allow more time for your journey. now onto the weather with sara. morning to you. yesterday for the bank holiday we had some lovely sunshine and a cooler feel to things. it gave us a chilly night — earlier on in the night we had a bit of frost. but the temperatures are lifting now. we have got cloud pushing in as well. outbreaks of patchy rain this morning. the winds picking up. there will be quite a bit of dry weather through the day today. it's later on we see more

organised rain pushing in. but the temperatures are up a good few degrees above what we saw yesterday. and then the bigger picture for the next few days, we will continue to show these tightly packed isobars, these white lines suggesting we will have fairly windy conditions. there will also be some more rain around as well. but it does look as though we have a bit of dry weather into wednesday. a lot of cloud, you can see, there will be a bit of patchy drizzle at times. and crucially it will still be windy, both today and tomorrow wind gusts in excess of 30, 35mph. but actually it is going to be mild. so for tomorrow a top of temperature potentially into the low teens, 1a, 57 in fahrenheit, stays changeable until next weekend. that's it. there's more travel news on bbc radio london and on twitter @bbctravelalert.

tuesday things getting back to normal. hello this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning: we'll find out how blind people are facing waits of up to two years to be paired with a suitable dog due to a shortage of volunteers. trainee guide dog duggie will be here with us on the sofa. eight years after being axed, waterloo road is back with some new and old faces. we'll be chatting to actors angela griffin and james baxter about the revamp of the school—based drama. the hairy bikers are back on a mission to get restaurants to shop local. one half of the duo, celebrity chef dave myers, will be here to tell us all about their new show. looking forward to that. but first we want to talk about business. businesses under pressure from soaring energy bills say they urgently need a decision from the government on how it will support them. ben's been having

a look at this for us. they were meant to find out before christmas. but are still waiting for details. yes, the help that businesses are currently getting for their energy bills ends in march. it works a bit like the price cap we have for our energy bills at home — basically capping what businesses pay per unit of energy. the government says its energy bill relief scheme means some businesses are paying less than half the actual wholesale cost for energy this winter. but it comes at a cost to the taxpayer of £18 billion. in the autumn, the chancellor jeremy hunt said that level of spending is "not sustainable" and warned the level of support offered in the future would be significantly lower. but we know the support has proved vital to so many businesses. one estimate suggests that a quarter of small—sized firms will have to close, downsize or restructure if the support ends completely. figures seen exclusively by bbc breakfast from the energy market researchers cornwall insight show the bill rises that businesses are facing in april. if the support continues in its current form,

a typical business will pay £191,000 for electricity next year. if the government's support ends, they'll face an annual electricity bill of £205,000. that's a rise of 7%. for many, that's still a two or three fold increase in their bills since 2020, even with government help. hannah miller has been to see the impact rising energy costs are having on businesses. while this bar may be a little calmer in the aftermath of the festive rush, the owner here is feeling far from relaxed. in march, his fixed term energy contract comes to an end at the same time as the current government support package and when another site had to be renegotiated last year, the bills more than doubled, even with the

financial help that's been in place. we were looking at £17,000 a month. well, you know, that's wholly you know unsustainable for any business. if we had those sort of margins, i wouldn't be here now, i would be sat on a yacht in monaco! how urgent is the need to know? how can i explain how urgent it is? we needed to know months ago and we needed to know for the long—term. as new year's resolutions begin at this gym and health club, the boss agrees the government must commit to a plan for energy costs that brings an end to uncertainty. that's really the frustration for us at the moment, it's a material difference to our operating model at the moment. it will increase our utility costs from 20% of my overall costs at the moment, they will become 60% of our overall cost. so that's whopping. and so being able to plan for that with some lead time is really important. it will take months

of planning to work around it. at this aluminium casting factory, melting metal uses 2 million units of gas every year. the government has suggested there will be greater support for industries that are particularly energy—intensive, but here they'd like to see a longer term solution to help make this industry sustainable. we are micromanagingl energy on a daily basis. we are looking at every machine, the energy it uses and _ trying to reinvent things, - we are looking at automation. we need major investment. obviously the green policies are there, but we are a - major user of energy. so, the amounts we use, we literally need a - | nuclear power plant at the side | of us to take our problem away. the government says it's working on an announcement that will ensure longer term affordability and value for money for the taxpayer, but businesses are already trying to plan for several years ahead to make sure they have a solid future.

hannah miller, bbc news. yes, a reminder the government had promised businesses a decision before christmas. but that got delayed. we're expecting it within the next week or two. businesses are anxious that could mean a big cut in the support available to them. joining me now is martin mctague, national chair, at the federation of small businesses. why the urgency? it is only january, businesses have support until march, the next couple of weeks is fine isn't it for them to find out? trio. isn't it for them to find out? no, it is disappointing _ isn't it for them to find out? tip, it is disappointing there has been this delay, if you think about the survey results you mentioned in your report, one in four businesses are now seriously considering whether there is any future. and the more you delay that, the more certain it is that the owners of the businesses may decide that, look, if i'm going to retain any value at all from my

business, i'm going to have to close it down now. with 16 million people employed by small businesses, that could be absolutely crucial to a lot of families at a vulnerable time. if of families at a vulnerable time. if it came to a choice between a scheme, well, the government says the current scheme is too expensive, if it was a choice between support for a smaller number of businesses with high energy costs, or a broader base of support for many more businesses, but each business gets less, which do you think would be preferable? taste less, which do you think would be preferable?— preferable? we think in terms of vulnerability _ preferable? we think in terms of vulnerability that _ preferable? we think in terms of vulnerability that ought - preferable? we think in terms of vulnerability that ought to - preferable? we think in terms of vulnerability that ought to be - preferable? we think in terms of| vulnerability that ought to be the determining factor as far as the government's decisions are concerned. typically small businesses only have about three months' worth of income, sorry cash left in their businesses at any particular time f they're going to

survive this kind of crisis, they're going to have to know that the government's going to act and provide them with the security to get through that three months. i think a will the of other bigger firms, even if they're in energy intensive areas have the resources to cope with this kind of crisis. then, when welike at the look at the cost of energy relief scheme, £18 billion, is that money that could be spent better helping households? well, look, ithink spent better helping households? well, look, i think you are making a false difference here. because as far as many small businesses employing less than ten people, and accounting for 16 million people up and down the countryf accounting for 16 million people up and down the country f they decide close, then families will be hit really hard. if they're out of work, they won't be able to afford their energy bills. so it is important that the government makes sure that

they put the help in place to help people change their energy consumption and most small businesses have done the obvious. they're closing for longer, they're reducing their hours when they're open, but investing in green technology is expensive and the government can do more to help with that, by providing grants to buy the expensive equipment they need to reduce their energy consumption. martin, thank you. so he gave is a accepts a sense of urgency business needs and the government is expected to give some update within a couple of weeks. john is back with the sport. good morning.— of weeks. john is back with the sport. good morning. en'oyed a new ear's sport. good morning. en'oyed a new yea-s break? — sport. good morning. en'oyed a new year's break? yeah. _ sport. good morning. en'oyed a new

managed in a lifetime — the world now sees them in a new light, as a team that can surprise even liverpool. in fact as he acknowledged, it wasn't mee, but instead konate's knee that made the difference. the half would be dominated by replays. twice wissa had goals disallowed for offside, but after this header, the technology brought him better news — it was two. easy for this to seem a dream and in the second half back inevitably came liverpool. alex 0xlade—chamberlain's goal reflected a new urgency. after all this season jurgen klopp's side have given themselves much to do. and in the last ten minutes they found themselves suddenly overworked. bryan mbuemo, brentford hero, despite liverpool's objections, the goal stood. a famous brentford victory was confirmed and what started as a light show finished... ..asa disco. patrick gearey, bbc news.

in scotland, rangers were two minutes away from winning the old firm derby and reducing the gap on celtic at the top of the premiership to six points. celtic had taken an early lead, but rangers fought back with this goal from ryan kent, and a james tavernier penalty. but ange postecoglou's side would not be beaten — right in the closing stages kyogo furuhashi salvaged a point. which means they stay nine clear of their rivals. it's a big part of this team, it isn't the first time we've done it, it won't be the last, you know. like i said 2—1 away from home at a place like ibrox, you'd say it's going to be hard for us to get back into it, but you know like i said the lads have shown tremendous character all the way through and again when the moment was required they stepped up. an nfl game was suspended overnight after american footballer damar hamlin collapsed on the field of play, he's now in a critical condition. in shades of the incident that affected footballer christia eriksen,

the buffalo bills player fell to the ground after colliding with an opponent during the first quarter of a match against the cincinnati bengals. he received on—field medical attention for more than half an hour before being taken to hospital. the nfl called the game off afterwards. he remains in a critical condition. martina navratilova says she'll fight with all she's got, after being diagnosed with throat and breast cancer. the nine—time wimbledon singles champion, who previously had breast cancer in 2010, will start treatment in new york later this month. navratilova, who's 66, says both cancers have been caught at an early stage. she's called it a �*double whammy�*, which she says is serious, but fixable, and she's hoping for a favourable outcome. the stage is set in the pdc world darts final tonight, michael van gerwen up against michael smith. the favourite van gerwen was in devastating form

as he whitewashed belgium's dimitri van den burgh by 6—0 at alexandra palace, whilst smith beat gabriel clemens 6—2. van gerwen will be going for a fourth world title, whilst smith is looking for his first. and anyone heading back to work today after the new year break, will you be getting this sort of welcome... after a christmas and new year break. argentina's alexis mac allister, linking back up with his team mates at brighton after those incredible celebrations in his homeland, beating france in that final. welcome back from qatar. i didn't aet welcome back from qatar. i didn't net the welcome back from qatar. i didn't get the ticker _ welcome back from qatar. i didn't get the ticker tape. _ welcome back from qatar. i didn't get the ticker tape. did _ welcome back from qatar. i didn't get the ticker tape. did you - welcome back from qatar. i didn't get the ticker tape. did you not i welcome back from qatar. i didn'tl get the ticker tape. did you not see that? my fault _ get the ticker tape. did you not see that? my fault for _ get the ticker tape. did you not see that? my fault for being _ get the ticker tape. did you not see that? my fault for being late. - that? my fault for being late. you're so _ that? my fault for being late. you're so used _ that? my fault for being late. you're so used to _ that? my fault for being late. you're so used to it. - that? my fault for being late. you're so used to it. it - that? my fault for being late. you're so used to it. it is - that? my fault for being late. you're so used to it. it is not| you're so used to it. it is not every day — you're so used to it. it is not every day you _ you're so used to it. it is not every day you win _ you're so used to it. it is not every day you win the - you're so used to it. it is not every day you win the world | you're so used to it. it is not - every day you win the world cup. how brilliant for every day you win the world cup. firm brilliant for brighton. every day you win the world cup. how brilliant for brighton. good _ every day you win the world cup. how brilliant for brighton. good to - every day you win the world cup. how brilliant for brighton. good to have i brilliant for brighton. good to have

it is falling on already saturated ground in south—west scotland in particular, so there is the risk of some localised flooding. temperatures up on yesterday, up to 12 or 13. and it is going to be windy. that leads us into a windy night. a front still pushing towards the east, and then we have got further rain coming in across england and wales. some clear skies. behind the rain there will be some showers. but it is going to be significantly milder than it was last night. these temperatures here are higher than we expect as a maximum daytime temperatures. still colder in the north of scotland with lows of five degrees. as we head into wednesday, you can see the curl of rain moving away. we have further rain coming in across northern ireland, northern england and southern scotland and the weather front close to the channel islands will bring in some rain. but as it is close to the south coast, any

sunshine will turn hazy and there will be bit of sunshine around tomorrow. but the gust strength of wind is in excess of 50mph in southern areas. lighter winds across scotland. temperatures still in the mild conditions, 12, to 15 degrees. temperatures in scotland five to 10 degrees. as we move into thursday, this front has been giving us a headache as to where it is going. yesterday, we thought it would cross england and wales. now it looks like it will clip northern england, with some showers across england and wales, but the heaviest rain northern england, northern ireland and parts of scotland. also some snow on its leading edge. if it doesn't come as far north, the snow will be further south. temperatures will be further south. temperatures will mild, 12 to 13. in the north

cooler. but then the cooler air penetrates further south during the course of friday. so temperatures are flip flopping all over the place. ray thank you. jon you were right with your weather predictions. it is going to rain! elephants have been a huge tourist attraction in thailand for decades but when covid struck their owners were left struggling to feed them. although tourist numbers have started to recover, the industry faces another challenge, because many visitors now see using the animals for entertainment as unethical. the bbc�*s south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, has been looking at how the country's three thousand captive elephants can be supported in the future. there is a place in thailand where people and elephants have lived and worked together for centuries. they used to travel the country to entertain tourists. but when covid struck,

they moved back here to surin, where they have been struggling to make a living. this charity is offering these elephants free health checks and medication. they often have problems with their digestive systems, says this volunteer, because of the stress of moving or because they are now getting the wrong kind of food. the sheer size of these animals makes them hugely expensive, they cost as much as a luxury car to buy, and eat hundreds of food kilos every day, but there is another challenge to thailand's elephant economy, and that is that the tourists who sustained it for so long now have ethical concerns about all the various tricks they have been trained to perform. joy lives with three generations of elephants, descendants of animals passed down to her by her parents and grandparents. covid forced her to bring them

back from the holiday island of phuket where they have been doing tourist shows. these days, she posts videos of them on social media, but the donations she gets from their online fans are never enough. she is hoping that as the tourists return, some at least will still be willing to pay to watch the elephants perform. translation: i think there may not be as many elephant shows as they used to be because we know that some foreign tourists think that people who keep elephants don't love them. or treat them badly by making them perform. so they might not want to feed the elephants or watch the show like before. everywhere we went in surin, we found people live streaming their elephants through their phones, trying to cover their costs. because there is no easy

exit from this business. translation: whatever the future is, i think we still have to keep them. if the economy was better, or someone wanted to buy them, we might consider selling. but with the economy like this, there is no way out, we have to take care of them. there are thought to be more than 3,000 captive elephants in thailand. these are very long—lived animals. if their use as tourist entertainment is increasingly viewed as unethical, it is not clear how else their livelihoods can be funded. jonathan head, bbc news, north—eastern thailand. we've got a big birthday coming up later this month. breakfast is turning a0 and we'd love you to help us celebrate. yes, we're after your memories of watching the programme over

i'm afraid you'll be dealing with the same problem when it comes to strikes that ended last year. there are five days of rail strikes in one form or another this week. it's over pay, jobs and working conditions. passengers are being told to avoid travelling by rail if at all possible. the underground is running in london, but workers on the elizabeth line are scheduled to go on strike next thursday. there's to be an urgent review into how some people managed to, in the words of police, force their way past hoardings and fencing during the new year's eve fireworks event along london's embankment. the mayor of london said the circumstances will be reviewed to ensure lessons were learnt. at one point officers had to draw their batons, but there were no injuries. gatwick airport is urging anyone who got a drone for christmas, to not fly them near the airport. a five kilometre exclusion zone exists around all airports — that's just over three miles — but a drone flying near gatwick a few years ago, caused chaos

for passengers and staff, as it delayed and cancelled over a thousand flights. this is why it matters. if a drone were to be spotted near an airport, then the airport would generally divert all its flights and that would cause major disruption for the airport of course. because they have to err on the side of caution, even though you might think, "it's a tiny little drone, what could it possibly do to a huge airliner?" you know that's not the logic they have to follow. let's take a look at the tubes now. i've told you about the rail strike, and that's having an impact on several tube lines like the bakerloo, district and elizabeth line. it means part—suspensions are in place. other reasons for delays this morning include train cancellations and a faulty train on the northern line. so do allow more time for your journey. now onto the weather with sara. morning to you. yesterday for the bank

holiday we had some lovely sunshine and a cooler feel to things. it gave us a chilly night — earlier on in the night we had a bit of frost. but the temperatures are lifting now. we have got cloud pushing in as well. outbreaks of patchy rain this morning. the winds picking up. there will be quite a bit of dry weather through the day today. it's later on we see more organised rain pushing in. but the temperatures are up a good few degrees above what we saw yesterday. and then the bigger picture for the next few days, we will continue to show these tightly packed isobars, these white lines suggesting we will have fairly windy conditions. there will also be some more rain around as well. but it does look as though we have a bit of dry weather into wednesday. a lot of cloud, you can see, there will be a bit of patchy drizzle at times. and crucially it will still be windy, both today and tomorrow wind gusts in excess of 30, 35mph. but actually it is going to be mild. so for tomorrow a top of temperature potentially into the low teens, 1a, 57 in fahrenheit, stays changeable until next weekend.

there's more travel news on bbc radio london and on twitter @bbctravelalert. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. fresh rail strikes on the first working day of the new year — union leaders say they want a settlement, the government says passengers have had enough. wear a face covering if you're going out — the latest advice to adults who are feeling unwell, amid high cases of flu and covid a british couple are among four people killed, after two helicopters collide over a tourist spot on australia's gold coast good morning. how brentford's brilliance leftjurgen klopp frustrated as liverpool are well beaten. a defibrillator for every school in england —

facing delays, disruption and cancellations. just 20% of the uk's rail network will operate today and tomorrow. if you're lucky enough to have trains running near you, they'll be starting much later, and will finish by early evening. it's a headache for people like corinne, who's on a zero hours contract, and will now struggle to get to work. i support the right to strike, absolutely. so i don't begrudge the strike. but how long it's going on for, it leads to accumulated stress and rage. the dispute over pay, working conditions and job security has been rumbling on since june last year. it involves around a0,000 members of the rmt union in a range ofjobs at 1a train operators, as well as network rail. union members will walk out for another a8 hours on friday. meanwhile, a 2a—hour strike by train drivers at the aslef union on thursday, is also expected to result in widespread disruption. the unions say they are willing to get back around the

negotiating table, but that the table is bare. rail operators and network rail say they've made fair and reasonable pay offers, and have once again apologised to customers for the ongoing disruption. the department for transport said the government was being reasonable and stood ready to facilitate an end to the rail disputes. marc ashdown, bbc news. mick lynch is the head of the rmt. he joins us now from the picket line at london euston. good morning. can we start with the lady we just heard in that report. she can't get to work on a strike days, she has lost the equivalent of a month's rent when you have been on strike. she says that means stress and rage. she wants to know how much longer this can go on? well. and rage. she wants to know how much longer this can go on?— longer this can go on? well, we're sorry about _ longer this can go on? well, we're sorry about that _ longer this can go on? well, we're sorry about that and _ longer this can go on? well, we're sorry about that and we're - longer this can go on? well, we're sorry about that and we're sorry i sorry about that and we're sorry this action — sorry about that and we're sorry this action has had to take place today _ this action has had to take place today we — this action has had to take place today. we gave plenty of notice, three _ today. we gave plenty of notice, three weeks' notice, and it is several— three weeks' notice, and it is several weeks ago since we gave that

back won't be easy. the royal family presented a united front without harry and meghan this christmas. but harry has repeated his claims that the family is an institution that didn't support him with a media set against him. these new interviews have both been done by experienced journalists, and there is a sense that they may be more challenging. one of the criticisms that you've received is that, well, ok, fine, you want to move to california, you want to step back from the institutional role. why be so public? you say you tried to do this privately. and every single time i've tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife. you know, the family motto is, never complain, never explain. but it's just a motto. it's hard to see how these interviews will help a family reconciliation. prince harry has again voiced his anger, his sadness and his frustration. and buckingham palace has again made no comment. an assessment ofjust how damaging these new interviews will be,

can be made when they're broadcast next weekend. daniela relph, bbc news. here is the update you have all been waiting for this morning. thor the walrus has been on the move again, this time popping up in blyth. he: spent new year's eve in scarborough. he has now migrated 100 miles north to northumberland. he has been relaxing there on the pontoon. wildlife experts say it is a good sign he is heading in the direction of his natural habitat. 100 miles that quickly, are we sure it is the same walrus?— that quickly, are we sure it is the same walrus? maybe it is his body double. if same walrus? maybe it is his body double- if you _ same walrus? maybe it is his body double. if you see _ same walrus? maybe it is his body double. if you see him _ same walrus? maybe it is his body double. if you see him or- same walrus? maybe it is his body double. if you see him or his - same walrus? maybe it is his body double. if you see him or his body| double. if you see him or his body double, don't go near them. they are dangerous. leave them in peace. would you approach a walrus? ho. would you approach a walrus? no. have ou would you approach a walrus? no. have you seen _ would you approach a walrus? ijr>. have you seen the tusks?! carol is

the weather. good morning. this morning it is a chilly start to the day in eastern areas but in stark contrast in the west it is quite mild as temperatures pick up and a band of rain moves in, journeying east through the day, followed by another one. mild air comes in with a. it will be windy wherever you are. this is the first band of rain from the west are pushing east. some will be heavy. we will also have a period of transient snow on higher ground in scotland. then the second one comes in right behind it. also quite showery. whichever way you look at it for scotland, northern ireland, england and wales, it is going to be wet and windy. noticeably windy. gusty winds. through the day the first band plays away. the second one comes in. it is going to be pushing east through the day. temperatures around about ten, 11, 12 further south. in the highlands,

where we stay in the sunshine, behind the first band of rain, we are looking at between four and 6 degrees. this evening and overnight at the rain crosses once again from the west towards the east. we will have a hang back towards northern scotland and northern ireland. behind that, some showers. significantly milder tonight, with overnight lows higher than we expect the daytime maximum temperatures to be. the other thing is it is going to be windy. tomorrow that leads us into another windy day. the rain clearing the south east but hanging around the english channel. white in the channel islands. eventually the rain clears into the northern as. rain in the central swathe. still very mild for the time of the year. we could see 15 degrees somewhere. thank you. adults who are unwell are being urged to wear a face covering outdoors, in new advice to try and stop the spread of flu

and covid. it all sounds and seems familiar. the uk health security agency has also issued back—to—school advice, asking parents to keep children off school if they are showing symptoms of scarlet fever, such as a high temperature. jon donnison reports. with doctors warning the nhs has already gone past breaking point, concerns today that schools going back could add further pressure. the message from the uk health security agency is to keep children home if they're unwell and have a fever, to avoid infecting others. and the advice is not just for children. the agency's chief medical adviser, susan hopkins, says adults who are unwell should also stay home and should wear a face covering if they have to go out. they should avoid health care settings and vulnerable people. the reason for the concern, a rising number of cases of flu, covid and scarlet fever, which is caused by the strep a infection.

nhs england says 9,500 people are currently in hospital with covid. add on to that almost 4000 people with flu, and it means 13% of hospital beds in england are being occupied by people with those two illnesses. and all this comes with doctors saying some a&e departments are already in a complete state of crisis, to the extent that it's causing patients harm. i come to work to treat patients, to make people better ultimately. that's why we go into it. it sounds very simple, but that's what we do. and it hurts to see that people are coming to harm. and to see people coming in sicker than they necessarily should have been, because of some of these problems that are occurring. and at the worst case — i've spoken to paramedics, for instance, who have arrived at the scene of patients after long delays, only to find they've already passed away.

many hospital staff say they're already at their limit. and there's more strike action plan by nurses and ambulance staff over pay and conditions. jon donnison, bbc news. we're joined now by matthew taylor, chief executive of nhs confederation, which represents health bosses. morning to you. just listening to that report we are hearing about the really intense pressures lots of nhs staff are under at the moment. how worried are you about how bad the situation could get?— situation could get? well, there is no doubt the _ situation could get? well, there is no doubt the situation _ situation could get? well, there is no doubt the situation is _ situation could get? well, there is no doubt the situation is very - no doubt the situation is very difficult _ no doubt the situation is very difficult. that is why many trusts have _ difficult. that is why many trusts have declared critical incidents. we are not— have declared critical incidents. we are not able to provide a level of service _ are not able to provide a level of service we — are not able to provide a level of service we want to provide. the nhs is there _ service we want to provide. the nhs is there for— service we want to provide. the nhs is there for you if you need it. but it is also— is there for you if you need it. but it is also important to be clear with— it is also important to be clear with the — it is also important to be clear with the public about the situation we are _ with the public about the situation we are in — with the public about the situation we are in. there are ways the public

it's back to work for many people today and if you're one of them i'm afraid you'll be dealing with the same problem when it comes to strikes that ended last year. there are five days of rail strikes in one form or another this week. it's over pay, jobs and working conditions. passengers are being told to avoid travelling by rail — if at all possible. the underground is running in london, but workers on the elizabeth line are scheduled to go on strke next week on thursday. there's to be an urgent review into how some people managed to — in the words of police — "force their way past hoardings and fencing" during the new year's eve fireworks event along london's embankment. the mayor of london said the circumstances will be reviewed to ensure lessons were learnt. at one point officers had to draw their batons but there were no injuries. gatwick airport is urging anyone who got a drone for christmas to not fly them near the airport. a 5km exclusion zone exists

around all airports — that's just over three miles — but a drone flying near gatwick a few years ago caused chaos for passengers and staff, as it delayed and cancelled over a thousand flights. this is why it matters. if a drone were to be spotted near an airport, then the airport would generally divert all its flights and that would cause major disruption for the airport of course. because they have to err on the side of caution, even though you might think, "it's a tiny little drone, what could it possibly do to a huge airliner?" you know that's not the logic they have to follow. let's take a look at the tubes now. i've told you about the rail strike and that's having an impact on several tube lines, like the bakerloo, district and elizabeth line. it means part—suspensions are in place. other reasons for delays this morning include train cancelations and a faulty train on the northern line. so do allow more time

for your journey. now onto the weather with sara. morning to you. yesterday for the bank holiday we had some lovely sunshine and a cooler feel to things. it gave us a chilly night — earlier on in the night we had a bit of frost. but the temperatures are lifting now. we have got cloud pushing in as well. outbreaks of patchy rain this morning. the winds picking up. there will be quite a bit of dry weather through the day today. it's later on we see more organised rain pushing in. but the temperatures are up a good few degrees above what we saw yesterday. and then the bigger picture for the next few days, we will continue to show these tightly packed isobars, these white lines suggesting we will have fairly windy conditions. there will also be some more rain around as well. but it does look as though we have a bit of dry weather into wednesday. a lot of cloud, you can see, there will be a bit of patchy drizzle at times. and crucially it will still be windy, both today and tomorrow wind gusts in excess of 30, 35mph. but actually it is going to be mild. so for tomorrow a top of temperature potentially into the low teens, 14, 57 in fahrenheit,

the hard work, the togetherness, everything they put together to beat a team like liverpool is simply impressive that we beat city away, draw with tottenham, where we should have won and now beat liverpool. we should have scored tonight obviously, lot of goals as well. when we were direct and when we had runs in behind, we were pretty much always dangerous. i think first half, the chance darwen has, the chance costa has, not sure if it was offside, they're big ones and well played as well. to that's obviously, but in the end it became they wanted, much less the game we wanted obviously. in scotland, rangers were two minutes away from winning the old firm derby and reducing the gap on celtic at the top of the premiership to six points. celtic had taken an early lead, but rangers fought back with this goal from ryan kent,

and a james tavernier penalty. but ange postecoglou's side would not be beaten — right in the closing stages kyogo furuhashi salvaged a point. which means they stay nine clear of their rivals. to come back into the club four or five weeks ago and with all the injuries and all the doubt, i think we've taken away a lot of the doubt. what we need to do now is play at this level consistently and win games consistently as well. there is a lot of football to be played this season. we are no further ahead than we were four or five weeks ago in the league, but in our performance level and in our mind, i think we are maybe one or two steps ahead. an nfl game was suspended overnight after american footballer damar hamlin collapsed on the field of play, he's now in a critical condition. in shades of the incident that affected footballer christia eriksen, the buffalo bills player fell to the ground after colliding with an opponent during the first quarter of a match against the cincinnati bengals. he received on—field medical attention for more than half an hour

before being taken to hospital. the nfl called the game off afterwards. he remains in a critical condition. martina navratilova says she'll fight with all she's got, after being diagnosed with throat and breast cancer. the nine—time wimbledon singles champion, who previously had breast cancer in 2010, will start treatment in new york later this month. navratilova, who's 66, says both cancers have been caught at an early stage. she�*s called it a �*double whammy�*, which she says is serious, but fixable, and that she�*s hoping for a favourable outcome. the stage is set in the pdc world darts final tonight, michael van gerwen up against michael smith. the favourite van gerwen was in devastating form as he whitewashed belgium�*s dimitri van den burgh 6—0 at alexandra palace, whilst smith beat gabriel clemens 6—2. van gerwen will be going for a fourth world title, whilst smith is looking for his first.

raise thank you. plans to put a defibrillator in every school across england look set to go ahead, thanks largely to a campaign started by mark king, in memory of his son oliver. oliver was 12 when he had a cardiac arrest during a swimming lesson, there was no defibrillator on hand, and it took an ambulance 20 minutes to reach him. in the years following oliver�*s death, his dad mark has called on politicians, sportspeople and celebrities to support his campaign for better access to the equipment. many schools already have them but the government says it aims to "plug the gaps" by funding a further 20,000 kits. mark king joins us now. we�*re alsojoined by naomi rees—issitt, who�*s sonjamie died almost a year ago following a cardiac arrest and james cant from the resuscitation council uk.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. wear a face covering if you�*re going out — the latest advice to adults who are feeling unwell amid high cases of flu and covid. fresh rail strikes on the first working day of the new year — union leaders say they want a settlement, the government says passengers have had enough it's it�*s a new year but the same old story. passengers are bracing themselves for even more disruption. a two—day strike is and there is more to come in the week. —— is

under way. a british couple are among four people killed, after two helicopters collide over a tourist spot on australia�*s gold coast businesses facing soaring energy bills say they urgently need a decision from the government on how it will help them this year. the current support is due to end in march, with no clarity yet on what will replace it. how brentford�*s brilliance leftjurgen klopp frustrated as liverpool are well beaten. hi, pup! the urgent need to find more people willing to train guide dogs — and the lengthy wait for the blind and visually impaired people who desperately need them. walking with a cane is like walking with one hand tied behind your back. it is really, really difficult. good morning. pack your belly because today it is going to be wet and windy. some

transient snow on the hills of northern scotland. wherever you are it is going to be mild. details later in the programme. good morning. it�*s tuesday, the 3rd of january. adults who are unwell are being urged to wear a face covering outdoors, in new advice for england to try and stop the spread of flu and covid. the uk health security agency has also issued back—to—school advice, asking parents to keep children off school if they are showing symptoms jon donnison reports. with doctors warning the nhs has already gone past breaking point, concerns today that schools going back could add further pressure. the message from the uk health security agency is to keep children home if they�*re unwell and have a fever, to avoid infecting others. and the advice is not just for children. the agency�*s chief medical adviser, susan hopkins, says adults

who are unwell should also stay home and should wear a face covering if they have to go out. they should avoid health care settings and vulnerable people. the reason for the concern, a rising number of cases of flu, covid and scarlet fever, which is caused by the strep a infection. i welcome this new advice about people wearing masks and not going out if they are ill, keeping children off school, because we need to do everything we can to avoid unnecessary illness. the simple reality here is that of the health service is caught between the fact it has limited capacity, particularly when it comes to workforce, 130,000 vacancies, and a level of demand it is difficult to meet in ordinary times. when you add in flu and covid, which doesn�*tjust affect patients but also means any staff off ill, that is when you get

to this difficult situation we are in. nhs england says 9,500 people are currently in hospital with covid. add on to that almost 4000 people with flu, and it means 13% of hospital beds in england are being occupied by people with those two illnesses. and all this comes with doctors saying some a&e departments are already in a complete state of crisis, to the extent that it�*s causing patients harm. i come to work to treat patients, to make people better ultimately. that�*s why we go into it. it sounds very simple, but that�*s what we do. and it hurts to see that people are coming to harm. and to see people coming in sicker than they necessarily should have been, because of some of these problems that are occurring. and at the worst case — i�*ve spoken to paramedics, for instance, who have arrived at the scene of patients after long delays, only to find they�*ve already passed away. many hospital staff say they�*re already at their limit. and there�*s more strike action plan

by nurses and ambulance staff over pay and conditions. jon donnison, bbc news. millions of people are returning to work and school after the festive break today. but a fresh wave of rail workers�* strikes mean most of those who travel by train will need to make alternative arrangements. rmt members have started a 48—hour stoppage, with another two—day walk—out planned for friday and saturday. some drivers will also strike on thursday. it�*s part of a long—running dispute over pay and conditions, as our business correspondent mark ashdown reports. a new year, but no end in sight in this bitter dispute. train passengers returning to work after the festive period are facing delays, disruption and cancellations. just 20% of the uk�*s rail network will operate today and tomorrow. if you�*re lucky enough to have trains running near you, they�*ll be starting much later, and will finish by early evening.

it�*s a headache for people like corinne, who�*s on a zero hours contracts, and will now struggle to get to work. i support the right to strike, absolutely. so i don�*t begrudge the strike. but how long it�*s going on for, it leads to accumulated stress and rage. the dispute over pay, working conditions and job security has been rumbling on since june last year. it involves around 40,000 members of the rmt union in a range ofjobs at 14 train operators, as well as network rail. union members will walk out for another 48 hours on friday. in effect the gut torpedoed the talks with the train operating companies by putting comp —— conditions in that they know we can never accept. that is not a clever negotiation tactic when you are trying to move anything towards a resolution. —— move anything. meanwhile, a 24—hour strike by train drivers at the aslef union on thursday, is also expected

to result in widespread disruption. the unions say they are willing to get back around the negotiating table, but that the table is bare. rail operators and network rail say they�*ve made fair and reasonable pay offers, and have once again apologised to customers for the ongoing disruption. the department for transport said the government was being reasonable and stood ready to facilitate an end to the rail disputes. marc ashdown, bbc news. our business correspondent theo leggett is at london euston. theo, these strikes caused misery for rail passengers last year and now we start this year with more of the same? what is the situation? absolutely. we had _ what is the situation? absolutely. we had strikes in mid—december, the end of— we had strikes in mid—december, the end of december, over christmas, now the first— end of december, over christmas, now the first working week back. we have a 48-hour _ the first working week back. we have a 48—hour strike beginning today. that means a fifth of normal services _ that means a fifth of normal services will be running. half of the rail— services will be running. half of the rail network won't be running at all. the rail network won't be running at all 0n— the rail network won't be running at all. on thursday it is the turn of train _ all. on thursday it is the turn of train drivers— all. on thursday it is the turn of train drivers belonging to the aslef union _ train drivers belonging to the aslef union. friday and saturday it is

a procession through the streets of santos will take place later today, for brazilian footballing legend pele, before a private family ceremony and his burial. the player, who was the only person ever to win the world cup three times, died last week at the age of 82. brazilians have been queuing through the night to pay their respects at the wake in the santos stadium. it is 13 minutes past eight. you are watching breakfast. carol has the weather. good morning. today, if you haven�*t got the rain yet, it is on its way. it will be a wet and windy day. it will be a bit milder than yesterday. you can see the rain coming in from the west. with it, milder conditions. as it bumped into the cold air as it travelled eastwards, we did see some snow and still have some snow. it is fairly transient because the mild air will follow

behind and that snow will melt. as that front clears, there will be a drier interlude before the next batch of rain comes in. a lot of cloud ahead of it and wherever you are today it will be windy. the sunnier skies will be across the highlands. temperatures ranging from seven to 13 degrees. this evening and overnight this rain moves steadily from the west towards the east, lingering longest in northern scotland and south east england, with some showers following on. once again it is going to be windy. significantly milder than it was last night. ten to 13 degrees is higher than we expect is the maximum daytime temperatures at this time of the year. the rain cleared smartly from the south—east tomorrow. it is slow to clear from north—east scotland and remains in the northern isles. for northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england, further showery outbreaks of rain. tomorrow we could get 14 or

15 degrees, which is pretty high for this time of the year. in the south what you will find is we have a lingering front. that would produce some rain in the channel islands. at times the cloud will move towards the south coast, turning the sunshine hazy. after that the temperatures are up and down, as sunshine hazy. after that the temperatures are up and down, as i will show you in half an hour. oh, you tease!— oh, you tease! thank you. pleasure! _ oh, you tease! thank you. pleasure! look _ oh, you tease! thank you. pleasure! look at - oh, you tease! thank you. pleasure! look at this. - oh, you tease! thank you. | pleasure! look at this. how oh, you tease! thank you. _ pleasure! look at this. how gorgeous are these? you may remember a few months ago we brought you a story about our bbc colleague sean dilley, whose guide dog sammy was retiring, leaving him facing a two year wait for a replacement. that�*s because during the pandemic the charity guide dogs had to pause its breeding and training programmes for the first time in its history. now the charity wants to recruit more volunteers to ensure more matches can be made. sean�*s been to meet one of the puppy trainers. are you my little star? meet archie...

..and his puppy raiser, lisa. archie? touch! they�*re learning what makes a good guide dog. good boy. so the reason that we use hand touch is so when archie is placed with a visually impaired person, obviously they can't see when he's running back, when he's coming. so they can pop out this hand as a target. and archie�*s getting his head around some things he may need to quit if he�*s to win a working harness. he�*ll have to learn what this is for. lisa�*s is one of more than 2000 households giving their time for free to help raise guide dog puppies for around a year. it�*s opened up a whole new world. i�*ve made lots of new friends, ifeel part of a community that i wasn�*t before. not only that, obviously you�*re doing something very good at the end of the day. it�*s all around really rewarding. soon we�*ll follow lisa as she hands herfirst puppy, fergal, into guide dogs for his advanced training. what are the emotions that

are going through your head today? if i�*m honest, i�*d say proud. i think that�*s my biggest one. so proud of what i�*ve done. really proud of him! lisa hopes that both of her dogs will give somebody their independence. i honestly think they are doing their absolute best. like me, kelly is waiting to train with a new guide dog. that means getting out is a lot harder. walking with a cane is like walking with one hand tied behind your back. it is really, really difficult. kelly�*s second dog, river, retired lastjuly. she�*s waiting for the right match. this doesn�*t only affect her, but her 15—month—old daughter. i'm the one who can't take her out when i want to, i have to say. "well, let's wait for daddy", or, "let's wait till we go see nana and granddad". i can do everything else she needs, and i'm her mummy and i love her, and i'm the one that's

there when she has her nightmares and i play with her. it doesn't impact on our relationship, but i think it impacts on how i feel about the job i'm doing as a mum. watch the tree. so why do guide dog users like me and kelly find ourselves in between dogs? the answer lies here at the charity�*s national breeding centre. good girl! bill�*s been explaining to me that the waiting lists are currently a bit longer than guide dogs would like them to be for life—changing guide dogs. purely for research purposes, you understand, i might have to stroke puppies like bill and many, many other puppies. is this the bestjob in the world, or what?! guide dogs is the largest breeder of assistance animals in the world. before the pandemic, they bred as many as 1500 dogs in a year. but during that time they stopped for five months and lost a third of their puppy raisers. so, that is our puppy reception. the breeding programme is recovering, but guide dog says what it needs now is more people.

guide dogs could not do what we do with our volunteers. so we are, at the moment, looking very heavily to recruit lots of volunteers. and we�*ve been very lucky that a lot of people have been so generous with their time. and we are in recovery mode and we are hopeful for the future. but we do need a little bit of patience for a little bit longer, as these dogs make their way through the system. as you said, these little puppies here, that we saw today, it will take about two years for them to make partnership. paige? hi, pup! are you a puppy? yes, you are! this may seem odd and a little dramatic. big eyes and floppy ears. but it�*s one way social skills are assessed. you're such a good puppy! sniff it. and these are some of the problem solving skills paige will need if she�*s to make it as a guide dog. at around seven weeks old, these pups will be dropped off to their puppy raising families. for lisa�*s first pup, fergal, it�*s the end of one journey, but the start of another.

i�*ve got all this. i�*m packing the three toys up from home. his biscuits that i always give him — half a biscuit at bedtime. this, i�*ve had it made and had his name put on it and his id number. the day has come for fergall to start his advanced training. that means lisa must say a painful goodbye. i want him as upset as little as possible. they�*re his toys. there you go, you get a big boy lead now. bye—bye, sweetheart. many guide dog users stay in touch with their puppy raisers. but many do not. thanks a lot. i'll ring you tomorrow. lisa knows this could be the last time she sees fergal. yeah, i�*m fine. it�*s hard, but you�*ve got to remember why you�*re doing it.

guide dogs say they need more volunteers like lisa to help cut waiting times. people like us are needed so much to help people like you. the tears are worth it. that was lisa, a guide dogs volunteer, who spent the past year training little fergal. he�*s now off to a new home, where he�*ll be able to assist a visually impaired person, like our reporter sean dilley. helen whiteside from the guide dogs charity. and daniella higson, and her adorable trainee guide dog duggie, join us in the studio. look how good duggie is! it is great to see you all. tell us about the experience of looking after duggie and what it has been like for you?

peter and his puppy biscuit have been watching our programme this morning in bangor. look at that face. and guide dogs come in all shapes, sizes and ages. and this little one sent in by shirley from the east midlands is just 22 days old. duggie is not impressed. he is like, what about me? i thought this was about me. i thought this was my moment. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london i'm asad ahmad. it's back to work for many people today and if you're one of them i'm afraid you'll be dealing with the same problem when it comes to strikes that ended last year. there are five days of rail strikes in one form or another this week. it's over pay, jobs and working conditions. passengers are being told to avoid travelling by rail — if at all possible.

the underground is running in london, but workers on the elizabeth line are scheduled to go on strke next week on thursday. there's to be an urgent review into how some people managed to — in the words of police — "force their way past hoardings and fencing" during the new year's eve fireworks event along london's embankment. the mayor of london said the circumstances will be reviewed — to ensure lessons were learnt. at one point officers had to draw their batons, but there were no injuries. gatwick airport is urging anyone who got a drone for christmas to not fly them near the airport. a 5km exclusion zone exists around all airports — that's just over three miles — but a drone flying near gatwick a few years ago caused chaos for passengers and staff, as it delayed and cancelled over a thousand flights. this is why it matters. if a drone were to be spotted near an airport,

then the airport would generally divert all its flights and that would cause major disruption for the airport of course. because they have to err on the side of caution, even though you might think, "it's a tiny little drone, what could it possibly do to a huge airliner?" you know that's not the logic they have to follow. i've told you about the rail strike and that's having an impact on several tube lines like the bakerloo, district and elizabeth line. it means part—suspensions are in place. other reasons for delays this morning include train cancelations and a faulty train on the northern line. so do allow more time for your journey. now onto the weather with sara. morning to you. yesterday for the bank holiday we had some lovely sunshine and a cooler feel to things. it gave us a chilly night — earlier on in the night we had a bit of frost. but the temperatures are lifting now. we have got cloud pushing in as well. outbreaks of patchy rain this morning. the winds picking up. there will be quite a bit of dry

weather through the day today. it's later on we see more organised rain pushing in. but the temperatures are up a good few degrees above what we saw yesterday. and then the bigger picture for the next few days, we will continue to show these tightly packed isobars, these white lines suggesting we will have fairly windy conditions. there will also be some more rain around as well. but it does look as though we have a bit of dry weather into wednesday. a lot of cloud, you can see, there will be a bit of patchy drizzle at times. and crucially it will still be windy, both today and tomorrow wind gusts in excess of 30, 35mph. but actually it is going to be mild. so for tomorrow a top of temperature potentially into the low teens, ia, 57 in fahrenheit, stays changeable until next weekend. that's it. there's more travel news on bbc radio london and on twitter @bbctravelalert.

they urgently need a decision from the government on how it will support them. ben's been having a look at this for us. yes, the help that businesses are currently getting for their energy bills ends in march. it works a bit like the price cap we have for our energy bills at home — basically capping what businesses pay per unit of energy. the government says its energy bill relief scheme means some businesses are paying less than half the actual wholesale cost for energy this winter. but it comes at a cost to the taxpayer of £18 billion. in the autumn, the chancellor jeremy hunt said that level of spending is "not sustainable" and warned the level of support offered in the future would be significantly lower. but we know the support has proved

vital to so many businesses. one estimate suggests that a quarter of small—sized firms will have to close, downsize or restructure if the support ends completely. figures seen exclusively by bbc breakfast from the energy market researchers cornwall insight show the bill rises that businesses are facing in april. if the support continues in its current form, a typical business will pay £191,000 for electricity next year. if the government's support ends, they'll face an annual electricity bill of £205,000. that's a rise of 7%. for many that's still a two or three fold increase in their bills since 2020, even with government help. hannah miller has been to see the impact rising energy costs are having on businesses. while this bar may be a little calmer in the aftermath of the festive rush, the owner

here is feeling far from relaxed. in march, his fixed term energy contract comes to an end at the same time as the current government support package and when another site had to be renegotiated last year, the bills more than doubled, even with the financial help that's been in place. we were looking at £17,000 a month. well, you know, that's wholly you know unsustainable for any business. if we had those sort of margins, i wouldn't be here now, i would be sat on a yacht in monaco! how urgent is the need to know? how can i explain how urgent it is? we needed to know months ago and we needed to know for the long—term. as new year's resolutions begin at this gym and health club, the boss agrees the government must commit to a plan for energy costs that brings an end to uncertainty. that's really the frustration for us at the moment, it's a material difference to our operating model at the moment. it will increase our utility costs from 20% of my overall costs at the moment, they will become 60%

of our overall cost. so that's whopping. and so being able to plan for that with some lead time is really important. it will take months of planning to work around it. at this aluminium casting factory, melting metal uses 2 million units of gas every year. the government has suggested there will be greater support for industries that are particularly energy—intensive, but here they'd like to see a longer term solution to help make this industry sustainable. we are micromanagingl energy on a daily basis. we are looking at every machine, the energy it uses and _ trying to reinvent things, - we are looking at automation. we need major investment. obviously the green policies are there, but we are a - major user of energy. so, the amounts we use, we literally need a - | nuclear power plant at the side |

of us to take our problem away. the government says it's working on an announcement that will ensure longer term affordability and value for money for the taxpayer, but businesses are already trying to plan for several years ahead to make sure they have a solid future. hannah miller, bbc news. so a remider that the the government had promised businesses a decision before christmas. but that got delayed. we're expecting it within the next week or two but in the meantime as you can see from hannah's report businesses are anxious that could well mean a big cut in the support available to them — and bigger bills on the horizon. the thing is we might thinkjanuary, still got a couple of months before the scheme ends, but businesses plan months in advance. so they want clarity. how much can they give staff a pay rise? that is why they're desperate for an answer on

what support they will have with energy bills. thank you. after the world cup break, the premier league resumes. ~ ., , world cup break, the premier league resumes. ~ . , . , , resumes. what is happening. brentford _ resumes. what is happening. brentford keep _ resumes. what is happening. brentford keep producing - resumes. what is happening. - brentford keep producing brilliant results _ brentford keep producing brilliant results and they beat liverpool last i'ii l ht results and they beat liverpool last night to _ results and they beat liverpool last night to add to wins over manchester city and _ night to add to wins over manchester city and manchester united. the first time — city and manchester united. the first time since the 1930s they have beaten _ first time since the 1930s they have beaten liverpool. that first time since the 1930s they have beaten liverpool.— beaten liverpool. that was quite a -a beaten liverpool. that was quite a party after? _ beaten liverpool. that was quite a party after? yes. _ beaten liverpool. that was quite a party after? yes, christmas - beaten liverpool. that was quite a party after? yes, christmas isn't l party after? yes, christmas isn't over at the _ party after? yes, christmas isn't over at the community - party after? yes, christmas isn't over at the community stadium. j morning. it's been some season for brentford a side only promoted two seasons ago. springing surprises against the league's top sides, liverpool the latest. they're up to seventh after a memorable 3—1victory. and as the spotlight deservedly falls on them, the victory illuminating liverpool's shortcomings. a warning patrick gearey�*s report contains some flashing images.

the show that brentford fans have been witnessing is more dazzling than anything their club's managed in a lifetime — the world now sees them in a new light, as a team that can surprise even liverpool. in fact as he acknowledged, it wasn't mee, but instead konate's knee that made the difference. the half would be dominated by replays. twice wissa had goals disallowed for offside, but after this header, the technology brought him better news — it was two. easy for this to seem a dream and in the second half back inevitably came liverpool. alex oxlade—chamberlain's goal reflected a new urgency. after all this season jurgen klopp's side have given themselves much to do. and in the last ten minutes they found themselves suddenly overworked. bryan mbuemo, brentford hero, despite liverpool's objections, the goal stood. a famous brentford victory was confirmed and what started as a light show finished... ..asa disco.

patrick gearey, bbc news. in scotland, rangers were two minutes away from winning the old firm derby and reducing the gap on celtic at the top of the premiership to six points. celtic had taken an early lead, but rangers fought back with this goal from ryan kent, and a james tavernier penalty. but ange postecoglou's side would not be beaten — right in the closing stages kyogo furuhashi salvaged a point. which means they stay nine clear of their rivals. it's a big part of this team, it isn't the first time we've done it, it won't be the last, you know. like i said 2—1 away from home at a place like ibrox, you'd say it's going to be hard for us to get back into it, but you know like i said the lads have shown tremendous character all the way through and again when the moment was required they stepped up. an nfl game was suspended overnight after american footballer damar hamlin collapsed on the field of play.

in shades of the incident that affected footballer christia eriksen, the buffalo bills player fell to the ground after colliding with an opponent during the first quarter of a match against the cincinnati bengals. he received on—field medical attention for more than half an hour before being taken to hospital. the nfl called the game off afterwards. he remains in a critical condition. martina navratilova says she'll fight with all she's got, after being diagnosed with throat and breast cancer. the nine—time wimbledon singles champion, who previously had breast cancer in 2010, will start treatment in new york later this month. navratilova, who's 66, says both cancers have been caught at an early stage. she's called it a 'double whammy�*, which she says is serious, but fixable, and that she's hoping for a favourable outcome. the stage is set in the pdc world darts final tonight, michael van gerwen up against michael smith. the favourite van gerwen was in devastating form

as he whitewashed belgium's dimitri van den burgh 6—0 at alexandra palace, whilst smith beat gabriel clemens 6—2. van gerwen will be going for a fourth world title, whilst smith is looking for his first. and talk about pushing the boat out. look at this for a welcome home... argentina's alexis macalister returning to his club side brighton after winning the world cup. hugs and handshakes all round. there was even a trophy. and if that wasnt enough, ticker tape, lots of ticker tape. quite handy their club colours, the same as argentina's colours. it is like when you got back. the club colours _ it is like when you got back. the club colours are _ it is like when you got back. the club colours are the same as argentina's. maybe they grabbed some left overs. , �* u, left overs. sorry we didn't welcome ou back left overs. sorry we didn't welcome you back with _ left overs. sorry we didn't welcome you back with more _ left overs. sorry we didn't welcome you back with more than _ left overs. sorry we didn't welcome you back with more than a - left overs. sorry we didn't welcome you back with more than a biscuit l you back with more than a biscuit and a _ you back with more than a biscuit and a cup — you back with more than a biscuit and a cup of— you back with more than a biscuit and a cup of tea.—

can see the blues in many areas. but they don't last long. temperatures will be up and down. today our first band of rain will push into the north sea, but then another one coming in. some of that will be heavy with a lot of cloud and it is going to be windy. sunnier skies in the far north of scotland. temperatures up to 13 degrees. tonight our band of rain continues from the west to the east. lingering longest in northern scotland and also south—east england. and behind it we will see some clearer skies, but some showers. and still windy. but significantly milder over night thanit but significantly milder over night than it has been. these temperatures you can see, 10 to about 13 degrees are higher than we would expect our maximum day time temperatures to be at this time of year. so tomorrow the band of rain in the south—east clears swiftly. the band of rain in

northern scotland pushes off into the northern isles. and then a lot of dry weather and sunshine. but showers in northern ireland, southern scotland and also northern england. and it is going to be windy form, gusty winds, windier than today actually. through the channel we have the dregs of our old front and there will be a fair bit of cloud and showers across the channel island and the cloud could turn the sunshine hazy. temperatures the six to 10 in the north, i2 sunshine hazy. temperatures the six to 10 in the north, 12 to 15 in the south—east. beyond that, it gets more complicated. this system has been giving us a headache as to where it is going to end up this week and the timing of it. we think at the moment cloudy for many of us, some showers pushing north, heavier rain in northern ireland, possibly northern england and scotland. now, this could change and the timing and the position of it could change. it

could come in faster and we will see more rain push north and further rain across the west. and it will also be windier. thursday is definitely a day to watch. you can see still we are looking at mild conditions for the time of year. and then as we head into friday and the weekend, friday we have a ridge of high pressure, that will be more settled. but we have these fronts waiting in the wings. so on friday drier one or two showers. but that is about it. later the cloud will build in the west and we will see some rinne and that —— rain and that clears and still blustery with sunshine and showers. thank you. waterloo road returns to our screens tonight eight years after it was axed and there are some
