soon our bodies are just going to be covered with, like, reallyjust going to look like the same person, you're not even going to be able to identify our dead body by the tattoos was because we are going to have the same tattoos! # you may be crying, but boy, i'm not #. flo, congratulations to them. now the weather forecast, with flo, congratulations to them. now the weatherforecast, with ben rich. the feel of 2023 has been mild and it set to stay that way in the next few days. a tranquil scene in cornwall but the winds will pick up through the rest of today and tonight, we'll see rain pushing eastwards as well, all tied in with this area of cloud on the satellite picture and where you see this hook in the cloud here it shows we are developing quite a deep area of low pressure, passing to the north—west

of us. ahead of that a band of rain, some of that heavy, accompanied by squally, gusty winds but for much of england and wales this afternoon there will be some bright eclipses. the winds really starting to strengthen particularly in western scotland. those were the wind gusts and these are the temperatures, 9-14 , and these are the temperatures, 9—11; , above where we should be in early january. 9—11; , above where we should be in earlyjanuary. as 9—11; , above where we should be in early january. as we go into this evening this band of rain, this active weather front, will push southwards and eastwards with squally winds and as the low passes to the north—west of scotland there will be some really strong winds, gusts of 60—70 mph for exposed western parts and strong winds funnelling through the central belt for a time. it's going to be a mild night generally, 6—10 the minimum temperatures. tomorrow, a plus to restart particularly in scotland where there will be some showers. those will slowly fade. the winds will tend to ease for a time. this is a window of drier, brighter weather although with more cloud

rolling into the west and perhaps some rain here later in the day. perhaps not quite as male yesterday, but still 9—12, above the norm for the time of year —— not quite as mild. the weekend, the wind will be a feature, a blustery wind and rain a feature, a blustery wind and rain a feature, a blustery wind and rain a feature at times because of another area of low pressure, a big low with this frontal system running ahead of it. the front is going to be quite slow moving during friday night into saturday, so some heavy rain for many, clearing the eastern side of england through the day. behind its spells of sunshine but plenty of heavy, blustery showers. maybe the odd rumble of thunder. temperatures between 9—12. through saturday night into sunday the area of low pressure is going to pass to the north—west of the uk. lots of white lines, lots of isobars on the chart. that shows we'll have strong winds to take them to sunday. it's a sunshine and showers day, some of the showers heavy with hail, wintry over the higher ground in the north.

a bit chilly but 7—9 degrees is good going for this time of year. a reminder of our top story... prince harry claims he was physically attacked by his brother prince william, according to the guardian newspaper, which says it seen harry's forthcoming memoir. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. 0n bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. do have a very good afternoon. good afternoon. i'm qasa alom, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. emma raducanu has 11 days to prove herfitness after an injury forced her to retire from her second round match at the asb classic in auckland. the 20—year—old took the first set against her slovakian

oppenent easily 6—0, before viktoria kuzmova fought back to take the second set 7—5. at the start of the third set, raducanu took a lengthy medical timeout after rolling her ankle and retired from the match in tears. it's the latest in a series of injury—related retirements by the british player who shot to fame by coming through the qualifiers to win the us open in 2021. on the men's tour, novak djokovic is laying down an early marker in his bid for a record extending 10th australian open title. the 35—year—old former world number one came through a stern test against contan aliss at the adelaide international to reach the quarter finals. djokovic was a break down in the first set against the world number 64, but outlasted the frenchman to take the first set on a tie break. and it was much the same story in the second as alisss, pushed the 21—time grand slam champion hard, but djokovic ultimately had too much.

he'll now face denis shapovalov in the last eight on friday. it's difficult to play on this kind of court. it's really fast. it kind of favours the server. if you are serving well, it's tough to break a serve like him today, so the tie—breaks were probably the most realistic score of today's match. i'm just glad to overcome a tough challenge. at the top of end of the table, champions manchester city travel to chelsea tonight on the hunt to chase down league leaders arsenal. last season's premier league champions are currently eight points behind the gunners with a game in hand. city will be without ruben dias, who has a hamstring problem, but forward julian alvarez could feature for the first time since winning the world cup with argentina. what i want to see is we are not afraid.

we don't give up. not now. until the last chance. drop of water, we can fight and win the premier league. in the moment, we are not able to do that. they have to be ready to compete next season. this is when the teams are really, really good. everton�*s frank lampard, who met with the club's hierarchy after their 4—1 home loss to brighton earlier this week, is set to be in charge of the toffees fa cup tie against manchester united on friday. lampard has come under increased pressure of late with the club having won just once in ten premier league games. they've have now slipped into the bottom three on goal difference. bbc sport understands the club wishes to give lampard time to turn things around. he is the seventh manager to be in charge since owner farhad moshiri took over at the club in 2016.

england opener zak crawley hit an unbeaten half century in his big bash league debut, but it wasn't enough for his side hobart hurricanes as adelaide strikers secured victory after an impressive run chase. the strikers chose to bowl first, but ben mcdermott, calebjewell and then crawley, who you'll see here, all passed the 50 runs mark. it helped the hurricanes to a 229—4 from their 20 overs — their highest—ever score. in response, the adelaide strikers led by captain matt short got the job done. this boundary not only sealed the seven—wicket win but shorts' century as well. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. thank you very much indeed. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has laid out part of his vision for government in a new year speech promising to devolve more powers to people, towns and cities.

the labour leader acknowledged that people had voted for brexit because they wanted greater control over their own communities and said a new �*take back control�* bill would be aimed at "spreading control out of westminster". the argument is devastatingly simple. the decisions which create wealth in our community should be taken by local people with skin in the game. and a huge power shift out of westminster can transform our economy, our politics and our democracy. i go back to brexit. yes, a whole host of issues where on that ballot paper. but as i went round the country campaigning for remain, i couldn't disagree with the basic case so many leave voters made to me, people who wanted public services they could rely on, high streets they could be proud of,

opportunities for the next generation, and all of this in their town or city. it was the same in the scottish referendum in 2014. many of those who voted yes did so for similar reasons. and it's not an unreasonable demand. it's not unreasonable demand. it's not unreasonable for us to recognise the desire of communities to stand on their own feet. it is what take back control meant. the control people want is control over their lives and their communities. so we will embrace the take back control message, but we'll turn it from a slogan into a solution, from a catchphrase into change. we will spread control out of westminster, devolve new powers over employment, transport, energy, climate change, housing, culture, childcare provision and how councils run their finances and we will give communities a new right to request power which goes beyond even that.

all this will be in a new take back control bill, a centrepiece of our first kings speech. that the bill will deliver on the demands for a new britain, a new approach to politics and democracy, a new approach to growth and our economy. applause 2022 killed the tory idea that it's only those of the top who grow our economy. 2023 will be the year labour shows a new plan for growth. the year when we accept that if the south—east races ahead redistribution can't be the one weird plan for the rest of britain. that was also part of the brexit moment. working people want their town and city to prosper by standing on their own two feet. they want

growth from the grassroots to create wealth on their terms and in their way. so let me spell it out. no more short cuts. strong dynamic government is necessary but it's not sufficient. communities need strong public services but that's not enough on its own. for national renewal, there is no substitute for a robust private sector creating wealth in every community. you can see this in the precision engineers and life scientists in glasgow. the video game visionaries in dundee. the cyber security firms in the valleys and south wales, the hydrogen corridor in teesside, nano manufacturing in northern ireland, ceramics in staffordshire, the west midlands, robotics in manchester, we need to turbo—charge this potential but westminster can't do that on its own. it can only do it with communities. that's why labour will

give them the trust, the power and the control. we won't accept decline. won't write off our country. won't leave britain in a brace position buffeted from crisis to crisis holding on trying to make it through. that's no way to live. and it's no way to run a country. applause so this year, in place of sticking plaster politics, we will set out a case for change. the case for a new britain, the case for hope that the country will get better, politics will be a force for good, britain can be run in the interests of working people. we can't feel the public looking at it again, and we won't let up, we will work every day to end their trust, show them a new

way of governing, and lead them to the fairer, greener, more dynamic britain where aspiration is rewarded, working people succeed, commuters control their own destiny and where politics doesn't hide from the big challenges that face our children. thank you very much. applause annex said they are from sir keir starmer�*s beach earlier on today. a man from barrow who said he was accused of multiple rapes feels like he was not his life back after it accused was found guilty this week are perverting the course of justice. eleanor williamson claimed she was the victim of a grooming gang that had been trafficking her for sex across the north of england but a jury convicted her of making it up. sincejordan�*s life was ruined by eleanor williams lies in 2019, he's moved out of barrow and become a dad. but at least until now, he hasn't been able to move on.

the headlines on bbc news. prince harry claims he was physically attacked by his brother prince william, according to the guardian newspaper which says it's seen harry's forthcoming memoir. sir kier starmer promises a labour government would devolve power from westminister to local communities in what he calls a bill for people to take back control. last year was officially the warmest on record in the uk — with an average annual temperature more than 10 degrees. there are hopes one of the oldest copper mines in the world could be used to mine for minerals again. a recent survey at mynydd parys on anglesey, showed there were more deposits of copper and other minerals than originally thought. the company say they're confident the site could be used to provide

thousands of tons worth of copper in the future, as liam evans reports. in a landscape that looks more like the planet mars than earth, there is hope for a brighterfuture. this dramatic setting was once the copper powerhouse of the world, exporting over 3 million tonnes of copper across the world. by now, it's more of a tourist destination than a place for heavy industry. though there's renewed hope the fortunes here could once again be felt. this red and brown landscape that you can see behind me is truly mesmerising, and it paints a picture of what could lie underneath. now, according to recent surveys, there are more copper reserves in this area than were originally thought, with the hope then of returning mining to this part of anglesey in the near future. the company anglesey mining, say the next 12 months will be vital for securing future permits. their emphasis on local employment. it's a cautious yet positive response locally. well, it's showing that

the company will be looking to investigate the site further. and it's positive news. it's a positive step forward in the right direction. we welcome that from the company. they realise the importance of creating opportunities for local people and that is to be welcome. anglesey mining say they're confident this site could once again provide the desired investment in the north of the area. but this is an area that has felt the effect of a declining industry and many say, a lack of investment. i've not lived there that long, but it needs something. there's not much round here for people. so i'd go for a job there, save me travelling. i'm looking needs a lot _ of investment in the copper mines. could be something - important going forward. not quite, but it should be. we've seen this that many times. 150 jobs. i don't know how many times we've heard it. this power banks used to be booming,

used to have the cartel that's closed down, real plastics that's closed down. and this talk of things come in. nothing ever does. anglesey council say in principle they support mining here. however, say any developments would have to benefit the local community and economy. they say they will continue to discuss with partners about the site's future. anglesea mining say securing a local workforce if anyjobs were created would be a priority. there's some time yet before a decision is made on that, but strong hopes that this former powerhouse can return some prosperity to this remote part of wales. liam evans reporting. oscar—winning director sam mendes' new film "empire of light" features a star—studded cast, including fellow oscar—winners olivia coleman and colin firth. however the real star of the show is the seaside resort of margate, with its sands, seafront and the bright lights of dreamland serving as the film's backdrop. leanne rinne reports.

this just one of 200 or so elvis impersonators and fans heading up from sydney's central station. less blue suede shoes — more blue suede thongs. forget viva las vegas, this is viva new south wales. it's the best five days of the year. everyone is there to have a great time. it's like one big happy family, it's like you are back in high school and everyone talks to everyone. it is just pure fun. i think it's great, because i'll be comfortable on the 29 degrees heat out at parkes, i'll be able to dance freely. then it's all aboard the elvis express for a six—hour journey to the festival itself. nearly 25,000 people are expected to attend — twice the population of the town.

he'll never die while i'm alive. the festival runs for five days, ending on what would have been elvis' 88th birthday. and what would the king have to say? how about, "thank you very much"? tim allman, bbc news. martin will be with you from 2pm. she is a big elvis fan by the way. a bit of information you may not have known. now it's time for a look at the weather, with ben rich. good afternoon. there is nothing particularly cold in our forecast for the next few days. in fact, it is going to stay relatively mild. but, often windy, certainly some strong winds over the next 24 hours, with some outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards on at the earlier satellite picture you can see this area of cloud has been running in from the atlantic, just about here is hook in the cloud. we are developing an area of low pressure, quite a deep blow that will pass close to the north—west in the uk later on today, this band of

rain pushing its way southwards and eastwards, accompanied by some squally gusty winds under the same time the winds more generally picking up across the western side of scotland. but, it is mild at the temperatures this afternoon between eight and 13 degrees. as we go through this evening and tonight this band of rain, this weather front is going to push its way eastwards with some squally gusty winds and as i area of low pressure approaches the north—west of scotland, the ice are squeezed together, we will see gales, may be severe gales, gusts of 60—70 mph for exposed western powers, will turn very well be as well through the central belt for a time. it will be mild overnight, temperatures north to south between five and 10 degrees. into tomorrow, a windy start across scotland, some showers here as well in the winds will slowly ease, friday has a slice of slightly drier and quieter weather, some spells of sunshine, more cloud rolling in from the west later. a little bit of rain into western fringes through the late afternoon. temperatures between nine and 13 degrees.

then we get into the weekend and here comes another deep area of low pressure, add a bit weather front, slow—moving weather front, so that will bring a band of heavy rain through friday night and into saturday, that rain moving quite slowly across the eastern half of england, through the day, on saturday, behind that sunny spells but showers working in. it will stay windy. again temperatures in that range between nine and 12 degrees. through saturday night and into sunday this area of low pressure again passes close to the north—west of the uk, the white lines squeezing together, we will have some really strong winds, quite widely, on sunday. some very heavy downpours, perhaps with some sand and some hail mixing in. wintry showers towards the north. and temperatures of 7—9.
