6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. prince harry accuses some of his family of "getting into bed with the devil", by planting stories in the press but defends his decision to speak out well, they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile up until this point. and i'm not sure how honesty is burning bridges, you know? silence only allows the abuser to abuse. in tv interviews that aired here and in the united states, he also revealed his strained relationship with his brother william and king charles. do you speak to your dad?
6:01 am
we aren't... we haven't spoken for quite a while. um, no, not recently. health, teaching and rail unions are to hold talks with ministers today, to try to head off another wave of industrial action. businesses will find out later, exactly how much support they'll get with their energy bills. the amount of government help available is expected to more than halve from the spring, with firms facing rapidly rising costs. thousands of supporters of the far right former brazilian president, jair bolsonaro, have attacked government buildings in the capital. drama in the fa cup in what was one of the upsets of the weekend. how stevenage of league 2 knocked out aston villa in two madcap minutes in yesterday's third round tie. good morning. if you are just stepping out is a chilly start in the east. then we are in for a day of sunshine and
6:02 am
showers. some will be heavy and thundery. it will be breezy. the outlook for the rest of the week remains unsettled. details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday, the 9th of january. our main story. prince harry has accused members of his family of being complicit in the pain and suffering endured by his wife, meghan. in two television interviews — which were broadcast on itv and the american broadcaster cbs — he admitted his relationship with his brother and father was strained, but insisted he hoped for reconciliation. the palace has not commented on either interview, which were given in advance of the official release of prince harry's memoir. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. harry, the interview. what an original name! the themes of the interviews were familiar. fury at the british media, frustration with his own family, pain at losing his mother. during the first interview excerpts
6:03 am
from harry's audiobook were played. here, he described seeing photos of the paparazzi as his mother lay dying at the crash scene in paris. they'd never stopped shooting her while she lay between the seats, unconscious, or semi—conscious. and in their frenzy they'd sometimes accidentally photographed each other. not one of them was checking on her, offering her help, not even comforting her. they were just shooting, shooting, shooting. of his family, the criticism is direct. his brother and wife didn't get on with meghan from the start, he says. he accuses buckingham palace of not defending her, describing their silence is deafening. the sibling rivalry with william is portrayed as intense and damaging. it is now, he says, his life's were to change the media landscape in the uk. and he again talked about his family planting stories with the press
6:04 am
to enhance their reputation. and after many, many years of lies being told about me and my, my family, there comes a point where, again going back to the relationship between certain members of the family and the tabloid press, those certain members have decided to get into bed with the devil. there were at times contradictions and pettiness, perhaps as there are with all family fallouts, but he insisted he still loved his father and brother, and wanted things to be different. one might say, look, you haven't so much burn your bridges as taking a flame—thrower to them by being this honest in the book. they might say to you, look, you've just destroyed any chance of a reconciliation? well, they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile up until this point. and i'm not sure how honesty is burning bridges. silence only allows the abuser to abuse, right?
6:05 am
so i don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better. there is genuinely what i believe. harry discusses the interview meghan did with oprah winfrey, when she said a member of the royal family question what their son archie's skin colour would be. he says neither he nor meghan viewed his question as racist. and he also shows his support for lady susan hussey, the former lady in waiting to the queen, accused of racism towards charity founder ngozi fellaini at a buckingham palace reception in november. i'm very happy for ngozi fellaini to be invited into the palace to sit down with lady susan hussey, and to reconcile, because meghan and i love susan hussey. we think she's great! and i also know that what she meant, she never meant any harm at all. i will sit here and speak... in his interview for cbs in america, he again discusses his own family
6:06 am
leaking stories to the media, focusing on his stepmother, camilla queen consort, who he said had used the media to rehabilitate her public image. that made her dangerous because of the connections she was forging within the british press. and there was open willingness on both sides to trade information. and with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on her way to being queen consort, there was going to be people, or bodies, left in the street because of that. harry told presenter anderson cooper that he had been in therapy for seven years, and had used experimental medication as part of that process. he was also asked about his current relationship with his brother and his father. do you speak to william now? do you text? eh, currently, no. but i look forward to us being able to find peace. how long has it been since you spoke? um, a while. do you speak to your dad?
6:07 am
we haven't spoken for quite a while. um... no, not recently. harry said he didn't think his father or his brother would read his new book. but he said writing it had been both painful and cathartic. where are you now? i think that's one question people have at the end of all this. are you... are you happy? yes, i'm very, very happy. i'm very at peace. i am in a better place than i've ever been. daniela relph, bbc news. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is outside buckingham palace. two big interviews last night, two more to come today in america, but nothing from the palace? ha. more to come today in america, but nothing from the palace?— nothing from the palace? no. as there hasn't _ nothing from the palace? no. as there hasn't been _ nothing from the palace? no. as there hasn't been throughout - nothing from the palace? no. as there hasn't been throughout all| nothing from the palace? no. as i there hasn't been throughout all of this, whether it was the netflix documentary or these interviews, the tom bradby—

6:13 am
the british medical association union will ballot around 16,000 of its members from today. our health reporter katharine da costa has this report. it's busy. it's relentless. dr matt bilton is in his third year of work after medical school. he's got £70,000 worth of student debt, and says the current pay deal has leftjunior doctors feeling undervalued. utterly demoralised, frankly. i've worked incredibly hard to get to the position that i'm in at the moment. i've studied for many, many years, and trained for more, and a doctor with three years of experience earns £20 an hour and might be the doctor that's first to find someone whose heart's stopped in the middle of the night and start cpr. it's brought into sharp focus what i might want to do with my future, and whether or not my future lies in the nhs as a doctor, or even in the country. junior doctors last went on strike in 2016, in a dispute over their contracts. this time, if bma members back
6:14 am
industrial action, the plan is to walk out for 72 hours in march, and withdraw emergency care. the union says it's the only way to press the government on pay. the basic salary of a junior doctor in their first year isjust over 29,000, not including overtime and night payments. junior doctors in england received a 2% rise in april as part of a four year deal, but the bma estimates their pay has fallen by more than a quarter over the last 15 years, as a result of rising inflation. while there's been a substantial increase in the number of students being accepted into medical schools, the junior doctor's salary has fallen in real terms, and these students are leaving their studies with about 50 to £90,000 worth of debt. so it creates real problems in terms of how you recruit and retain these students in the nhs. the department of health says junior doctors pay has risen by 8% in the four years to march this year, and there's been extra investment to provide more money for the most experienced junior
6:15 am
doctors, as well as extra funds for those working frequent weekends and night shifts. the government says it'll discuss pay once this current deal comes to an end, but trust leaders say they're still concerned. what that means is that we're - going to lose more and more staff, which makes the front line task more difficult. - | what we need is a fully funded, j costed workforce plan, and staff need to know the cavalry is coming. junior doctors in the rest of the uk have been offered a pay rise of 4.5%. the bma in scotland is set to ballot members within months, and in england the ballot result�*s expected in six weeks' time. catherine da costa, bbc news. a new scheme to support firms with their energy bills will be announced in the house of commons today. it comes after the current support, which caps the unit cost of gas and electricity, ends in march. ben has this details. a lot of businesses desperately
6:16 am
waiting to get more information? yes, they have been waiting a while. they should get the details later today. well, the current scheme which caps the cost per unit of gas and electricity for all businesses expires at the end of march. remember, it caps the unit price, not the total bill. so the more they use, the more they pay. it will be replaced by a new scheme which will give businesses a discount on wholesale prices rather than a maximum, fixed price. the treasury has said that sectors which use a lot of energy, such as steel, glass and ceramics, are expected to get a larger discount than others. but the total level of government support is expected to fall sharply. the new scheme is expected to be worth less than half the current scheme, which is estimated to have cost £18.4 billion over six months, by the time it ends in march.
6:17 am
even with the new scheme, all businesses can expect the costs to rise after march. at the same time households will see support from the government become less generous. the typical bill will be £3000 for average usage, rather than the current £2500. that leaves families with less money to spend on goods and services that firms provide, these same firms are seeing their own costs rise. a bit of a concerning time for businesses as they plan going into the next financial year. thank you very much indeed. you are going to talk mortgages later? yes. going to talk mortgages later? yes, another big issue _ going to talk mortgages later? yes, another big issue for _ going to talk mortgages later? is: another big issue for many people, especially with those renegotiating deals. we will have more on that later. ., ~ deals. we will have more on that later. . ,, , ., brazilian police have regained control of the country's parliament after it was stormed by protestors. thousands of supporters of the former president, jair bolsonaro, smashed their way into a number of key government buildings. our south america correspondent katy watson has more. total chaos in brasilia, as thousands of hard line protesters invaded
6:18 am
government buildings. authorities responding with tear gas to try and regain control of brazil's capital. this was a scenario many here feared might happen, after a divisive election back in october. these images are clearly reminiscent of what happened in the us capitol two years ago. after all, former president jair bolsonaro is nicknamed "the trump of the tropics" by some. but while far right protesters here have been emboldened by the former us president, this was more than just a copycat insurrection. and it goes beyond bolsonaro, too. what angers protesters most is not so much that bolsonaro lost, but the fact that lula won — a man they see as belonging in prison, not the presidential palace. there's been no evidence of fraud, despite what these protesters claim. but no matter. what these people want is military intervention. it's the only way, in their view, that brazil can be saved from what they see as a stolen election. lula, though, the elected
6:19 am
president, who's been in the job forjust a week, condemned what happened, calling the protesters fanatical fascists. translation: all those people who did this will be _ found and punished. they will realise that democracy guarantees the right to freedom and free speech, but it also demands that people respect the institutions created to strengthen democracy. police siren. by nightfall, people had been cleared from the buildings, and police were clearing the remaining protesters from the streets. at best, authorities were caught out unprepared. at worst, they're suspected of being involved. the supreme court has been asked to issue an arrest warrant for the man in charge of brasilia's security, a former minister under jair bolsonaro, who was dismissed after sunday's events. the calm may have been restored for now, but the political division remains. katy watson, bbc news in sao paulo.

6:22 am
tomorrow, that will move towards the north and the east, some of it will be heavy. the met office has yellow weather warnings out for parts of north—west england and wales, especially on higher ground, we could see up to 100 millimetres of rain. that will exacerbating the flooding issue. another weather front coming in behind. this is a weak affair with a narrow band of rain but it will produce rain. in between, something drier and brighter. it will be windy. these are the gusts you can expect. stronger in the western hills and coast. these are the temperatures. something milder coming our way tomorrow. ., ~ something milder coming our way tomorrow. ., ,, , ., let's take a look at today's papers. guess what dominates? last night's itv and cbs interviews with prince harry lead most of the front pages. the daily mail focuses on the prince's remarks about his wife, meghan, and comments by him that his family was, in his words, complicit in the "pain
6:23 am
and suffering" she has endured. �*we never called royals racist�*, is the headline on the front of this morning's sun. the paper says his remark that he had never called his family racist was "bizarre", and a u—turn from "previous incendiary claims", as they put it. the daily telegraph focuses on remarks by the duke of sussex, in which he said stereotypes about meghan, as a divorced, bi—racial, american actress, were heightened by the press, and those stereotypes had been a barrier to his brother and sister—in—law william and kate, "welcoming her in" to the family. elsewhere, the guardian's lead article says the government is now considering a one—off payment to help bring an end to the nurses' strike. the paper cites comments made by the prime minister rishi sunak in a bbc interview yesterday, in which he suggested he was willing to have conversations about pay with union leaders.

6:26 am
she helped set up three and a half years ago. # some days it won't take much at all # you can falljust a semi—tone...# sunderland community soup kitchen — what is that? it's a place where people can come and get fed for free. ijust vowed that nobody in sunderland would ever go without food again. and now they don't. the soup kitchen, known as albert's place, now has 71 volunteers, allotments, a warehouse, and now a song. the idea came from radio two's folk programme, to compose five songs based on real lives in britain today. and this is andrea's, composed and performed by martynjoseph. the song is about the reality of life, sadly, for many people in the uk and other countries right now, as we try to go through a very difficult time. and i would want us generally to become more compassionate and have a greater understanding of
6:27 am

6:30 am
which flooded homes on friday. some residents had to be rescued in blackheath following the flood which also affected the firestation. thames water says the repairs on the a20 could take up to a week to be completed. now, two teenagers who dreamt of becoming racing drivers have been getting some tips from their idol sir lewis hamilton. reuben and lewis have been go—karting since they were young. theirfamilies have now teamed up to help them work towards their goal of driving in formula 1 and were recently invited to mercedes headquarters to meet their hero. the problem with our sport is that it is expensive. yeah. but there are a lot of people out there today, companies that are looking for improving diversity and inclusion. there's a lot of companies out there that want to be partnered with the right message. so it's notjust what you do on track, but it's also how you present yourself. there's nothing that you cannot do. i wish you guys all the best.
6:31 am
thank you very much. what an inspirational story — and you can see the full report this evening on we are england on bbc one at eight o clock — or indeed you can watch it and the entire series online by going to the bbc iplayer. let's take a look at the tubes and how they're looking this morning. there's minor delays on thejubilee line — but other than that there's a good service on all other lines. now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. it's looking really rather unsettled weather—wise as we head through the rest of this week across the capital with temperatures still at or above the seasonal average, but today a lot calmer than it was yesterday. it won't be as wet or as windy. it's been a chilly start to the morning. temperatures having dropped back to low to mid single figures for many last night with plenty of early sunshine around. then it will tend to cloud over as we head through the middle part of the day. watch out for one or two showers that could blow down on a now northwesterly wind. but with the change in wind direction, we're also well favoured to see plenty of dry weather
6:32 am
as we head throughout the day. some sunny spells again emerging towards the end of the afternoon. temperatures on a par with yesterday's but still with a noticeable breeze. as we head through this evening and overnight, initially, it's going to feel quite chilly. temperatures dropping back again to mid single figures, clear spells, but the air will turn milder into tomorrow morning and there'll be outbreaks of rain as we start off tuesday. the southwesterly winds will start to pick up once again. it's looking wet and windy for much of the day. also milder, temperatures are returning back up to double figures. that's it from me — much more on our website and on bbc radio london — but for now it's back to jon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on this morning's programme... we'll be live in newquay,
6:33 am
as excitement builds ahead of tonight's rocket launch that's been hailed as a breakthrough moment in the uk's space race. piano playing if you fancy having that sound in your own home, we'll tell you all about the scheme helping to find new owners for abandoned pianos. and actor simon bird willjoin us before eight to tell us all about his latest comedy, following the lives of religious family preparing for armagedon. comedy. of course. let's return now to our top story — and those two television interviews given by prince harry to promote his memoir. the first was broadcast last night on itv. the second went out in the early hours — uk time — on the american broadcaster cbs. in that interview, the host
6:34 am
anderson cooper asked harry about a comment in his book that his step—mother camilla's relationship with the media was "dangerous". how was she dangerous? because of the need for her to rehabilitate her image. that made her dangerous? that made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the british press. and there was open willingness on both sides to trade of information. and with a family built on hierarchy and with her on the way to being queen consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street because of that. in the same interview prince harry also spoke about his hopes for a reconciliation with his family — and what it would take for that to happen. a constructive conversation, one that can happen in private that doesn't get leaked. i assume they would say, "well, how can we trust you? "how do we know that you're not going to reveal whatever conversations we have in an interview somewhere?" this all started with them briefing daily against my wife with lies to the point of where my wife
6:35 am
and i had to run away from our, from my country. powerful words. let's hear how that interview has been received in the united states. kj matthews is an entertainment journalist based in los angeles. thank you for talking to us. obviously we are talking about it here on bbc one this morning, it is on the front page of almost every paper, how it is being received in the united states? we paper, how it is being received in the united states?— the united states? we can't get enou:h of the united states? we can't get enough of it- — the united states? we can't get enough of it. right _ the united states? we can't get enough of it. right before - the united states? we can't get enough of it. right before the i enough of it. right before the interview went on here in the states, three of my friend said are we going to do a whatsapp chat with popcorn. it was like an awards show, people can't get enough of meghan and harry ever since their series came out and with these revelations and the book every single day there
6:36 am
is something else and people are mesmerised here.— mesmerised here. people are mesmerised _ mesmerised here. people are mesmerised a _ mesmerised here. people are mesmerised a lot _ mesmerised here. people are mesmerised a lot of - mesmerised here. people are mesmerised a lot of them - mesmerised here. people are mesmerised a lot of them i i mesmerised here. people are i mesmerised a lot of them i think over on the side of the atlantic, quite divided as well about whether he should be speaking or whether what he says it is fair, how is he perceived across america, can you generalised? it is perceived across america, can you generalised?— generalised? it is really interesting. _ generalised? it is really interesting. these - generalised? it is really interesting. these are l generalised? it is really - interesting. these are three coats and tweets i have seen from prominent people in the us, one says harry recalling a thing a thing, another says this prince harry interview on 60 minutes is powerful, and even the new york times has an op—ed saying why hazarika fallen so hard for meghan and harry, so it seems to be more team at megan and team prince harry in the states but people in the united states are aware they are very polarising figures to the british population and we understand that but it does tend to sway in this direction. i will say it is very interesting, it comes down to political divides as
6:37 am
well because i see a lot of people who tend to lean left, more liberal in this country, are very much pro prince harry and pro meghan markle. the people who identify themselves as conservatives in this country have really said they need to go away, quit complaining and they have been bashing them so i find it really interesting that there is a political divide when it comes to the support were not so much support for the both of them here in the us. i am interested to know how it has been received over their when we heard prince harry talk about the fact he was dating in his words an american actress and that was perhaps a barrier to his brother and sister—in—law welcoming her, how has that been received with there? i that been received with there? i think a lot of people particularly people of colour in the us have thought it was a number of things, the fact she was married and divorced, that she was older than
6:38 am
him, that yes, she is an american actress but most importantly a lot of people felt her heritage, being biracial was at the top of the list, so hearing him confirm that probably will not be very surprising to them. we are looking at pictures now of that fairy tale wedding day which seems like ages ago now, but if you go to windsor, to buckingham palace, you will hear so many american tourists on the streets become here drawn to the uk because of the whole royal family thing. you think this harry interview, this whole story, does it affect the way americans view britain and the royal family? does it affect the way americans view britain and the royalfamily? i view britain and the royal family? i think it does a little bit. i was there when kate and william got married and very excited. we have been a country here because we don't have royals, we have been mystified by the whole royal family and love the royal monarchy. i think though
6:39 am
with meganjoining the the royal monarchy. i think though with megan joining the royal the royal monarchy. i think though with meganjoining the royalfamily and with prince harry coming out and doing the series and book at pulling back the curtain of what is actually happening in the royalfamily according to them, it has been very interesting and i do see people i don't want to say not as enthused with the royal family any more but really understanding they are normal people like any other families and they are not on this principle so i think we are viewing them a bit differently, i don't know if it is negative or positive but we see them in a different light definitely. fascinating to hear what is happening in the united states. thank you for talking to us. now the sport and more socks and drama.
6:40 am
it is what the fa cup is all about. if you missed it, thought we'd relive some of the magic from yesterday. it looked for all the world that aston villa would be booking their spot in the fourth round, after taking the lead in the first half thanks to this goal. and that's how it remained but edging towads full time, cue two mad—cap minutes. villa a team with a raft of internatioals, gave the ball away and a penalty, leander dendocker handed a straight red card, jamie reid scored from the spot after dean campbell had been fouled. the comeback was on, that set up a possible replay. but stevenage, 59 places below them, were not done there, and with villa park still reeling from the equaliser, dean campbell stunned them further with the winner, putting stevenage into the fourth round where they face stoke city next. and this was the dressing room post match, manager steve evans in there, club chairman phil wallace getting into the spirit of things himself too, a day that's been labelled one
6:41 am
of the club's greatest. it is very special. i think it's probably, the chairman just said to me it's the greatest day in his club's life. and he's at the club for 26, 27 years. certainly a fantastic day for the town. but we don't kid ourself. you know, this is a fantastic football club, we'll enjoy the moment. these guys will have their own days and they've treated us absolutely fantastic since we walked into the building earlier today. and we'll now be humble and get on with ourjobs for saturday. and you wonder if they've come down off the ceiling. the honeymoon period though definately over for graham potter at chelsea, the manager appointed after thomas tuchel�*s sacking and the club's takeover by new american owners. but after losing 4—0 to manchester city in the cup yesterday, questions over how much time he might be given. andy swiss rounds up yesterday's action. first, a chance to remember. an ovation for the late, great gianluca vialli
6:42 am
as his former club chelsea, and manchester city paid tribute. the teams had met in the league less than 72 hours earlier. city won that, and they were soon winning this. it's a stormer! riyad mahrez with a free kick of pure pinpoint perfection. and it was just the start. handball by havertz, penalty to city, and julian alvarez did the rest. alvarez scores! and from there, chelsea's challenge got even greater. pulled back, foden! city utterly dominant as they ultimately cruised to a 4—0 victory. delight for them but, for chelsea and their under pressure manager graham potter, these are worrying times. earlier, there was some drama at cardiff. 21 years after they famously knocked out leeds, the championship side seemed to be at it again. goals from jaden philogene and sheyi ojo putting them 2—0 up. at half—time, cardiff were in dreamland. but after it, it was
6:43 am
back down to earth. first, rodrigo pulled one back, and, although leeds then missed a penalty deep in injury time, guess what? and it's in! sonny perkins rescuing a 2—2 draw. the replay has a lot to live up to. andy swiss, bbc news. now, staying with football and rangers reduced the gap to celtic at the top of the scottish premiership to nine points after a hard—fought win against dundee united at tannadice. after a goalless first half, rangers scored twice in three minutes after the break. fashion sakala opened the scoring, before malik tillman wrapped up the points moments later. must have been something in the water this weekend after a dramatic opening day of the masters snooker at alexandra palace with defending champion neil robertson and three—time winner mark selby both crashing out. the australian was beaten by the 2015 winner shaun murphy by six frames to four. murphy led 5—1 before robertson fought back, but, he held on and will now face either kyren wilson or stuart bingham in the quarterfinals.
6:44 am
debutant hossein vafaei knocked out a rather glum—looking selby. he's not even in the world's top 16 and didn't even qualify automatically, only taking zhao xintong's place after the chinese star became one of ten players suspended from the tour amid an investigation into match—fixing. vafaei made three half—centuries and two century breaks on his way to a 6—2 victory. an emotional night in america as the buffalo bills played their first game since damar hamlin's cardiac arrest. there were tributes across the league, his number three on the pitch and worn by players and coaches, including the head coach of the team they were playing, the bills going on to beat the new england patriots 35—23. and the good news is hamlin is up and responsive in hospital, which meant he wasn't going to miss it. tweeting "gametime" with an image of himself and two of his family. and he continued to react to the game on social media throughout the night.
6:45 am

6:46 am
in the north and west but you can see the effect on temperatures is represented by the blues. cooler today. a lot of showers around already across the north and west, some of those across the south. some of them wintry above a50 metres and these showers across england and wales today will be drifting steadily eastwards, aided by this brisk breeze. further showers coming in from a second weather front across western scotland and northern ireland and through the day they will slowly move eastwards, getting into north—west england and also north wales but it should dry up in eastern areas. these other temperatures, seven in the north, ten in the south. tonight some showers to start with, many will ease, high pressure comes across us and then the next weather system comes in introducing some heavy rain and strengthening winds. that is a warm front represented by the red
6:47 am
semicircles, pushing steadily eastwards and later in the day a cold front coming in but in between both these were the plants we have some mild air coming race so temperatures will be 13 or 1a. this rain will be heavy particularly across north—west england and wales and particularly on the hills. it could exacerbate the flooding risk with the ground already saturated and a second front coming behind it with a narrow band of rain but it will still be wet and it will also be windy tomorrow. windy wherever you are but especially with exposure in the north and west from the coasts and hills. these temperatures, 13 or 1a, further north still about 7—9. wednesday is a showery day. blustery showers, quite strong winds, some showers will be wintry on higher ground in pennines for example and western
6:48 am
scotland and also looking at temperatures down, 6—10 north to south. the outlook beyond that remains unsettled, showery and by next weekend we will start to pull in more of a northerly so temperatures will go down and we will feel the draft. there are other events unsettled, wet and windy, surging temperatures through tomorrow as a warm sector comes our way and after that it remains unsettled. way and after that it remains unsettled-— way and after that it remains unsettled. ~ , ., ., ., unsettled. we need you more than ever. unsettled. we need you more than ever- thank _ unsettled. we need you more than ever. thank you. _ as the squeeze on household budgets continues, our homes are not immune to the rising cost of living either. millions of people are likely to experience higher mortgage repayments this year. ben has been looking at this for us — how are people going to be impacted?
6:49 am
yes, cast your mind back to last september — remember that ill—fated mini budget of former prime minister liz truss? one of the big fall—outs was a jump in mortgage rates. it did not immediately affect a lot of homeowners — because most have fixed deals. but as people come to renegotiate those, they will almost certainly pay more each month. there are estimated to be as many as two million fixed rate mortgage deals due to come to an end this year. even the best rates that people can get when they renew will mean higher repayments. that's because the average two—year fixed rate mortgage deal currently sits at 5.8%. that's down slightly from over 6% in the autumn. but still higher than they were this time last year. property experts expect that to come down a bit more. but the bank of england is expected to raise interest rates again
6:50 am
from the current 3.5% — putting an end to super low rates and cheap borrowing. meanwhile, the housing market is beginning to slow. the halifax building society confirmed last week that average house prices fell for the fourth month in a row in december. in theory, that's good for anyone saving to buy their first home. but remember mortgage rates are rising — and the number of mortgages being approved is the lowest it's been for two years. even having a good income and a deposit saved up is no guarantee of securing a mortgage right now — as kathryn from wales found out. we'd managed to get a deposit together, which had been over a number of years, which we've been very lucky to be able to do that. so we had a decision in principle once we'd found a house, and unfortunately that got declined in the end, because something was brought up on a credit report. then that mistake on the credit report was rectified. so that was all fine.
6:51 am
went to put in a new application and that new application came through at over £1,000 for a mortgage, and we'd gone over pretty much £350, so not affordable for us unfortunately. we were able to find actually a three—bedroom house for 150,000, which is really, really good where i come from. but, yeah, it was, you know, it's just taken so long and then you get all those emotions of "oh great, you know, we're finally getting somewhere" to then have your bubble burst. and we were just so deflated. and i'vejust kind of thought, "do you know what, i'm not going to bother now. i just want to rent for a little bit until things calm down if they do calm down." there is a mortgage calculator on the bbc website. it will calculate the bbc website. it will calculate the best rate and give you an estimate. the bank of england warned in december that about four million
6:52 am
uk households will face higher mortgage payments this year. the typical payment up by £250 — meaning the average monthly mortgage bill would go up from £750 to £1,000. not only will that put pressure on thousands of households — but also businesses — as families are left with less money each month to spend on buying and doing things — which firms provide. and this has a knock—on for the rental market. abs, and this has a knock-on for the rental market.— and this has a knock-on for the rental market. a lot of landlords have mortgages _ rental market. a lot of landlords have mortgages which _ rental market. a lot of landlords have mortgages which they - rental market. a lot of landlords have mortgages which they own | rental market. a lot of landlords - have mortgages which they own their property three. if their interest rates and the mortgages go up they are likely to pass that on to the people who rent from them so people in the rented sector will also feel the effects and anyone who has been searching for a rented home will now there is such high demand and when there is such high demand and when there is such high demand and when there is high demand that also pushes prices up. increased costs for households whether they own through a mortgage or renting. difficult times for people to trying
6:53 am
to rent or buy. thank you. i think we need some music. before television came along, the focal point of many living rooms was a piano. as they fell out of fashion, they were often dumped or even smashed up. now a scheme in edinburgh is trying to find new owners — and some new uses — for old pianos. joanne macaulay has been finding out more. this piano was destined for the dump. but it's been restored and given a second chance. many more unwanted instruments have been rescued by the adopt a piano team in edinburgh. people often think that an electric piano is the same thing as an acoustic piano, which simply isn't the case. you can't do this
6:54 am
with an electric piano. woop! you can hear it sounds like a whole kind of building inside there. there's an amazing acoustic even before you play any of the notes. and then just have these incredibly complex, interesting sounds. and that's not even to start talking about what a beautiful thing a piano is. in the 19505 and �*60s, piano smashing became something of a sport and an anti—establishment statement. but now trainee piano tuner mirror canon is doing the opposite, bringing them back to life. there's something about a tone that's kind of off and you can hear it. and then slowly, as you as you turn that hammer, it sinks and then it becomes one. something very beautiful about that and kind of it calms me down. and i really like to bring that sense of unison in my life. these once condemned instruments
6:55 am
are now getting a bit of attention, and soon many of them will be ready for new owners and they'll be making music again. some are past their best, but finding new uses as artwork or as the pianodrome, an auditorium made entirely of old pianos. you've got a combination of all of this wood at different lengths from the centre, which is reflecting the sound in different ways. and you also have this lovely reverb which comes about because the strings are sympathetically resonating with the sounds on the inside of the pianodrome. so wherever we put the pianodrome, it creates this amazing acoustic and this warmth. and, you know, when you're in the pianodrome, you really feel sort of held by all of these pianos and all of their histories. and any prospective piano adopters are invited to come and have a try.
6:56 am
what a great idea. i have got old piano but the problem is you have to practice and play. find piano but the problem is you have to practice and play-— practice and play. and you have to keep them — practice and play. and you have to keep them chained, _ practice and play. and you have to keep them chained, you _ practice and play. and you have to keep them chained, you can't - practice and play. and you have to keep them chained, you can'tjust| keep them chained, you can'tjust rely on it. keep them chained, you can't 'ust rel on it. ~ . , rely on it. mine looks nice but it doesnt rely on it. mine looks nice but it doesn't sound _ rely on it. mine looks nice but it doesn't sound great. _ rely on it. mine looks nice but it doesn't sound great. but - rely on it. mine looks nice but it doesn't sound great. but you i rely on it. mine looks nice but it| doesn't sound great. but you are uuite doesn't sound great. but you are quite good- _ doesn't sound great. but you are quite good- you _ doesn't sound great. but you are quite good. you have _ doesn't sound great. but you are quite good. you have not - doesn't sound great. but you are quite good. you have not any i doesn't sound great. but you are i quite good. you have not any more. practice. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a man has been charged with murder after human remains were found in a pond in harlow on new year's eve. 59—year—old phillip lewis's body was discovered in oakwood pond after being spotted by a member of the public. police remain at the scene and are continuing to drain and search the pond for evidence. lee clark, from harlow, is due
6:57 am
to appear in court later today. the a20 in south—east london remains closed today while engineers repair a burst water main which flooded it, and homes, on friday. some residents had to be rescued from their properties in blackheath following the flood, which also affected the firestation. thames water says the repairs could take up to a week to be completed. now, two teenagers who dreamt of becoming racing drivers, have been getting some tips from their idol sir lewis hamilton. reuben and lewis have been go—karting since they were young. theirfamilies have now teamed up to help them work towards their goal of driving in formula 1 and were recently invited to mercedes headquarters to meet their hero. the problem with our sport is that it is expensive. yeah. but there are a lot of people out there today, companies that are looking for improving diversity and inclusion. there's a lot of companies out
6:58 am
there that want to be partnered with the right message. so it's notjust what you do on track, but it's also how you present yourself. there's nothing that you cannot do. i wish you guys all the best. thank you very much. what an inspirational story. and you can see the full report this evening on we are england on bbc one at eight o'clock. or indeed you can watch it and the entire series online by going to the bbc iplayer. let's take a look at the tubes and how they're looking this morning— there's minor delays on thejubilee line. but other than that, there's a good service on all other lines. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. it's looking really rather unsettled weather—wise as we head through the rest of this week across the capital with temperatures still at or above the seasonal average, but today a lot calmer than it was yesterday. it won't be as wet or as windy. it's been a chilly start to the morning. temperatures having dropped back to low to mid single figures for many last night with plenty of early sunshine around. then it will tend to cloud over as we head through

7:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. prince harry accuses some of his family of "getting into bed with the devil", by planting stories in the press, but defends his decision to speak out. well, they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile up until this point. and i'm not sure how honesty is burning bridges, you know? silence only allows the abuser to abuse. in tv interviews that aired here and in the united states, he also revealed his strained relationship with his brother william and king charles. do you speak to your dad? we aren't... we haven't spoken for quite a while. um, no, not recently. health, teaching and rail unions are to hold talks with ministers today, to try to head off another wave of industrial action. businesses will find out later how much support they'll get
7:01 am
with energy bills beyond march. the amount of government help available is expected be less than half the value of the current scheme, with firms paying more. thousands of supporters of the far right former brazilian president jair bolsonaro have attacked government buildings in the capital. drama in the fa cup in what was one of the upsets of the weekend. how league two stevenage knocked aston villa out in two madcap minutes in their third round tie. good morning. if you are just stepping out is a chilly start in the east. for all of us it is a day of sunshine and showers. it will be breezy. for the rest of the week the weather looks unsettled. details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday, the 9th of january. our main story. prince harry has accused members of his family of being complicit in the pain and suffering endured by his wife, meghan. in two television interviews, which were broadcast on itv
7:02 am
and the american broadcaster cbs, he admittted his relationship with his brother and father was strained, but insisted he hoped for reconciliation. the palace has not commented on either interview, which were given in advance of the official release of prince harry's book spare. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. harry, the interview. what an original name! the themes of the interviews were familiar. fury at the british media, frustration with his own family, pain at losing his mother. during the first interview excerpts from harry's audiobook were played. here, he described seeing photos of the paparazzi as his mother lay dying at the crash scene in paris. they'd never stopped shooting her while she lay between the seats, unconscious, or semi—conscious.
7:03 am
and in their frenzy they'd sometimes accidentally photographed each other. not one of them was checking on her, offering her help, not even comforting her. they were just shooting, shooting, shooting. of his family, the criticism is direct. his brother and wife didn't get on with meghan from the start, he says. he accuses buckingham palace of not defending her, describing their silence is deafening. the sibling rivalry with william is portrayed as intense and damaging. it is now, he says, his life's work to change the media landscape in the uk. and he again talked about his family planting stories with the press to enhance their reputation. and after many, many years of lies being told about me and my, my family, there comes a point where, again going back to the relationship between certain members of the family and the tabloid press, those certain members have decided to get into bed with the devil.
7:04 am
there were at times contradictions and pettiness, perhaps as there are with all family fallouts, but he insisted he still loved his father and brother, and wanted things to be different. one might say, look, you haven't so much burnt your bridges as taking a flame—thrower to them by being this honest in the book. they might say to you, look, you've just destroyed any chance of a reconciliation? well, they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile up until this point. and i'm not sure how honesty is burning bridges. silence only allows the abuser to abuse, right? so i don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better. that's genuinely what i believe. harry discusses the interview meghan did with oprah winfrey, when she said a member of the royal family question what their son archie's skin colour would be. he says neither he nor meghan viewed
7:05 am
this question as racist. and he also shows his support for lady susan hussey, the former lady in waiting to the queen, accused of racism towards charity founder ngozi fellaini at a buckingham palace reception in november. i'm very happy for ngozi fellaini to be invited into the palace to sit down with lady susan hussey, and to reconcile, because meghan and i love susan hussey. we think she's great! and i also know that what she meant, she never meant any harm at all. i will sit here and speak... in his interview for cbs in america, he again discusses his own family leaking stories to the media, focusing on his stepmother, camilla queen consort, who he said had used the media to rehabilitate her public image. that made her dangerous because of the connections she was forging within the british press. and there was open willingness on both sides to trade information.
7:06 am
and with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on her way to being queen consort, there was going to be people, or bodies, left in the street because of that. harry told presenter anderson cooper that he had been in therapy for seven years, and had used experimental medication as part of that process. if he was also asked about his current relationship with his brother and his father. do you speak to william now? do you text? eh, currently, no. but i look forward to us being able to find peace. how long has it been since you spoke? um, a while. do you speak to your dad? we haven't spoken for quite a while. um... no, not recently. harry said he didn't think his father or his brother would read his new book. but he said writing it had been both painful and cathartic. where are you now? i think that's one question people
7:07 am
have at the end of all this. are you... are you happy? yes, i'm very, very happy. i'm very at peace. i am in a better place than i've ever been. daniela relph, bbc news. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is outside buckingham palace. sarah, prince harry said he wants a reconciliation with the royal family, but he didn't pull any punches in these interviews. do we expect any reaction from the palace? good morning. there hasn't been any so far, as there _ good morning. there hasn't been any so far, as there hasn't _ good morning. there hasn't been any so far, as there hasn't been - so far, as there hasn't been throughout this process. the netflix documentaries, the revelations from the book— documentaries, the revelations from the book we had through the leaked copies. _ the book we had through the leaked copies, and now these interviews. there _ copies, and now these interviews. there are — copies, and now these interviews. there are more interviews to come. you heard _ there are more interviews to come. you heard a — there are more interviews to come. you heard a lot of it from daniela. the w _ you heard a lot of it from daniela. the itv interview was an hour and a half, _ the itv interview was an hour and a half. the _ the itv interview was an hour and a half, the anderson cooper was shorten — half, the anderson cooper was shorter. there's a lot to go

7:12 am
are expected to get a larger discount than others. but the total level of government support is expected to fall sharply. the new scheme is expected to be worth less than half the current scheme — which is estimated to have cost £18.a billion over six months, by the time it ends in march. even with a new scheme, all businesses can expect their energy bills to rise after march. at the same time, households will see support from government become less generous as the bill for a typical household will rise from £2500 a year to £3000 a year from april — leaving families with less money to spend on goods and services that firms provide. thank you. brazilian police say they've regained control of the congress building in the capital,

brasilia, after it was stormed by thousands of supporters of the former president, jair bolsanaro. the demonstrators are refusing to accept that he lost last year's election and want the military to intervene. the country's new leader, luis inacio lula da silva, described the protesters as fascist vandals and promised to punish them. single—use items like plastic cutlery, plates and trays will be banned in england, the government has confirmed. a date for the implementation of the ban has not yet been confirmed, but it follows similar moves already made by scotland and wales. we had a very cold week. then we had a very wet week. what is the new week got in store? carol can tell us. good morning. a bit of everything. it will be unsettled. some mild conditions, particularly tomorrow. wet and windy at times as well. today what we have is a mixture of sunshine and showers. and it's also breezy. we

7:16 am
they've taken action. the basic salary of a junior doctor in their first year isjust over £29,000. that's not including overtime and night payments. they received a 2% pay rise this year, as part of a four—year deal worth a total of 8%. but their union, the bma estimates their pay has fallen by more than a quarter over the last 15 years as a result of rising inflation. the department of health has said junior doctors' pay will be looked at in the next pay review. we're joined now by dr vivek trivedi, co—chair of the bmajunior doctors' committee. you are an anaesthetist. what is life like for you as a junior doctor? as an anaesthetist, day—to—day work in theatre, making sure that patients are safe while
7:17 am
they have operations. i also work in intensive care, seeing the most critically unwell patients as they come into the hospital, and making sure they are ok during their stay. thankfully, the nhs and the hospital system as a whole is at breaking point. it is hard not to feel the sense of despair when you come home after a shift feeling like you are doing a disservice to the patients because you know you are being set “p because you know you are being set up to fail. with over 9000 doctor vacancies across the us —— nhs, there are gaps in the workforce. this leads to patients waiting longer for treatment in clinics and in hospital, and it is hard not to feel demoralised when you come home. this is burning staff out and only fuelling our workforce crisis, which we need to do something about and address. we are getting a really clear picture at the moment about the situation for patients. what are the situation for patients. what are the prices you are under? tell us about the pressures on the staff? we
7:18 am
have a situation where staff are burning out. the remaining staff are picking up work like that would have been spread over more people. we are already on the back foot with the low number to begin with. people are working harder, missing breaks, coming home feeling like they are not able to do a good job. and these are all professionals, highly trained professionals who have gone into the profession wanting to do the best they can for their patients, but feeling like we are just not given the resources and the funding in order to do this. is a strike the right way of this out. people will be worried about their own appointments been cancelled. it may be adds to the backlog and the stress on you ultimately? definitely. no doctor inherently wants _ definitely. no doctor inherently wants to — definitely. no doctor inherently wants to go on strike, just as i'm sure _ wants to go on strike, just as i'm sure no— wants to go on strike, just as i'm sure no health care professional wants— sure no health care professional wants to — sure no health care professional wants to go on strike. we have written — wants to go on strike. we have written to _ wants to go on strike. we have written to the government on a number— written to the government on a number of— written to the government on a number of occasions, to the various secretaries — number of occasions, to the various secretaries of state that have come over the _ secretaries of state that have come over the past few months, but we have _ over the past few months, but we have been— over the past few months, but we have been met with nothing but

7:21 am
we will keep across that story. final preparations are under way in cornwall ahead of a satellite launch that could prove to be a landmark moment in the uk's space race. a repurposed jumbo jet will leave newquay airport later today, carrying the rocket under its wing, before launching it into space mid—flight. rebecca morelle has gone behind the scenes as the mission counts down to take—off. five, four, three, two, one... lift-off! in newquay, cornall, the children of the bishop's academy are having a crash course in rocket science. they're taking a special interest in space because a launch is about to happen just down the road from them. i'm just excited because we might actually get a chance to see it or break newquay, and there's going to be like are probably lots
7:22 am
of people there watching it. even though it's very late i am going to beg my mum that i can watch it, because i'm really excited about it. the launch is taking place at newquay airport, home to spaceport cornwall. but it is a left off with a difference. the rocket is attached to this jumbo jet and will be released mid flight, firing its engines to send satellites into orbit, the first time this has been done from british soil. it has been a huge team effort to get to this place. we are the guinea pig. it is the first time any of us have done this. it has been quite a learning experience and something we are really proud of, but something we want to look at, how do we make it more efficient going forward and share the lessons learned. the rocket and aircraft belong to virgin orbit. we have given a rare chance to look inside. on the lower deck, all the seats have been stripped out to save weight, because a rocket full of fuel is a heavy load. but at the front, a small modification will have a big effect.
7:23 am
here in the cockpit are all the usual controls that you need to fly a plane, but there is one big difference. and it's this. this red square is a release button. and about an hour into the flight the pilot will present these to drop the rocket. until now, these launches have been carried out from california. the drop happens at a 35,000 feet and it's a perilous manoeuvre. everything has to work perfectly to get the rocket on its way. for the uk flight, raf pilot matthew stannard will be at the controls. we enter what is called a terminal count procedure. and that's when things for us certainly get more interesting as we go into that sequence of pressurising the tank, chilling the lines. at the end of that 15 minute terminal count, the rocket says, i'm ready to go now. and it's myjob to make sure the aeroplane is in the right bit of the sky, in the right position,
7:24 am
so when the rocket says, i'm ready to go, away she goes. on the ground at mission control the launch team will be monitoring every minute of the flight. it will be a tense time. i wouldn't say it's a nervous atmosphere. i think we all run off of adrenaline, for sure, but we are all pretty calm because we have rehearsed, we are confident in our systems since we have done all our checkouts. and we are ready to go, basically. this is one of nine satellites being painstakingly prepared to launch. almost all of them have been built in the uk. until now though, they would have been shipped abroad to be sent into orbit. but this mission is about to change that. this satellite belongs to a cardiff—based company. it is a mini factory that could make new materials while in orbit. in space, with the absence of gravity, you can mix together any different material you want. there are billions of new alloys
7:25 am
you can now make, that you couldn't make on earth. now, 99.9% of them want to be useful, but there will be a small fraction that are really useful, can be used in next—generation, more efficient electric cars, planes, aircraft, faster computing, that material sciences are crying out for right now. there's a lot riding on this rocket. if the launch goes to plan, it will be a major milestone for the uk. the first step in becoming a global player in space. rebecca morelle, bbc news, newquay. liftoff is at about ten o'clock tonight. now we're joined by our reporterjenny kumah, who is in cornwall ahead of the launch. morning, jenny. prepared for lift off? , , off? morning. it is a bit windy here. i off? morning. it is a bit windy here- i am — off? morning. it is a bit windy here. i am beside _ off? morning. it is a bit windy here. i am beside a _ off? morning. it is a bit windy here. i am beside a replica i off? morning. it is a bit windy here. i am beside a replica of| off? morning. it is a bit windy i here. i am beside a replica of the rocket _ here. i am beside a replica of the rocket you — here. i am beside a replica of the rocket you saw in that report. it will be — rocket you saw in that report. it will be strapped onto the wing of that modified 7a7. will be strapped onto the wing of that modified 747. there is a real sense _ that modified 7a7. there is a real sense of— that modified 747. there is a real sense of excitement and anticipation about— sense of excitement and anticipation about this _ sense of excitement and anticipation about this historic moment. lots of

7:30 am
affected the firestation. thames water says the repairs could take up to a week to be completed. now, two teenagers who dreamt of becoming racing drivers have been getting some tips from their idol sir lewis hamilton. reuben and lewis have been go—karting since they were young. theirfamilies have now teamed up to help them work towards their goal of driving in formula 1 and were recently invited to mercedes headquarters to meet their hero. the problem with our sport is that it is expensive. yeah. but there are a lot of people out there today, companies that are looking for improving diversity and inclusion. there's a lot of companies out there that want to be partnered with the right message. so it's notjust what you do on track, but it's also how you present yourself. there's nothing that you cannot do. i wish you guys all the best. thank you very much. what an inspirational story — and you can see the full report this evening on we are england
7:31 am
on bbc one at eight o clock — or indeed you can watch it and the entire series online by going to the bbc iplayer. let's take a look at the tubes and how they're looking this morning. there's minor delays on thejubilee line — but other than that there's a good service on all other lines. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. it's looking really rather unsettled weather—wise as we head through the rest of this week across the capital with temperatures still at or above the seasonal average, but today a lot calmer than it was yesterday. it won't be as wet or as windy. it's been a chilly start to the morning. temperatures having dropped back to low to mid single figures for many last night with plenty of early sunshine around. then it will tend to cloud over as we head through the middle part of the day. watch out for one or two showers that could blow down on a now northwesterly wind. but with the change in wind direction, we're also well favoured to see plenty of dry weather as we head throughout the day. some sunny spells again emerging towards the end of the afternoon. temperatures on a par with yesterday's but still with a noticeable breeze.
7:32 am
as we head through this evening and overnight, initially, it's going to feel quite chilly. temperatures dropping back again to mid single figures, clear spells, but the air will turn milder into tomorrow morning and there'll be outbreaks of rain as we start off tuesday. the southwesterly winds will start to pick up once again. it's looking wet and windy for much of the day. also milder, temperatures are returning back up to double figures. that's it from me — much more on our website and on bbc radio london — but for now it's back to jon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it is an important day with all the industrial action we have seen recently. leaders of the unison, unite and rcn unions will meet with health secretary steve barclay later today — as a wave
7:33 am
of planned strikes threaten to add to nhs pressures. shadow health secretary wes streeting joins us live now from westminster. good morning. with all these meetings due to happen today at various different times what would you be saying if labour was in power to the people around the table? the to the people around the table? fie: government should to the people around the table? tu9: government should get all to the people around the table? tu9 government should get all round the table together and negotiate with pay and terms of conditions and the wider issues they are raising on behalf of nurses, ambulance drivers, and i think they are speaking for the wider nhs workforce which is partly a course about their pay and conditions in terms of their employment but i think what we are seeing through the strikes is a broader cry for help about the state of the nhs and what these front line staff are seeing day in, day out, going home at the end of very long top shifts having slogged their guts out worried that despite their best efforts of patients aren't receiving the care they need and they are
7:34 am
waiting for too long and there are life and i think for all of us who are patients in the nhs and worried about the nhs i do think we should be and night out about how to are feeling a real sense of moral injury about the conditions are working in and the impact of the selling of patients. we and the impact of the selling of atients. ~ ~' :, and the impact of the selling of atients. 9 ,, :, . �*, :, patients. we know labour's plan to raise money _ patients. we know labour's plan to raise money by _ patients. we know labour's plan to raise money by revoking _ patients. we know labour's plan to raise money by revoking non-doml patients. we know labour's plan to i raise money by revoking non-dom tax raise money by revoking non—dom tax status would raise 1.6 point pounds, is that enough of the reforms that need to happen? lt is is that enough of the reforms that need to happen?— is that enough of the reforms that need to happen? it is a serious on the workforce _ need to happen? it is a serious on the workforce part _ need to happen? it is a serious on the workforce part of _ need to happen? it is a serious on the workforce part of what - need to happen? it is a serious on the workforce part of what we - need to happen? it is a serious on the workforce part of what we are | the workforce part of what we are looking out, the nhs has been underinvested from more than a decade and we are conscious of that but i think one thing we are also conscious of is we think about our manifesto for the next election is because the conservatives across the economy and we have had more than a decade of low growth and low productivity the public finances are an absolute mess so we are looking really carefully at the sorts of choices we will need to make, the priorities we have come at the nhs will always be your priority for labour and i will always be your priority for
7:35 am
labourand i think will always be your priority for labour and i think people know that but we want to make sure that manifesto that people read at the next election is one that is credible, that can be delivered and we are very clear about what we will spend and how we will raise it so we are completely transparent about that but i don't deny that because of the way the economy has been mismanaged and the state of the public finances under the conservatives think will be a lot harder for a conservatives think will be a lot harderfor a labour conservatives think will be a lot harder for a labour government after the next general election which is why we are being very careful about the promises we make. fine why we are being very careful about the promises we make.— the promises we make. one of the thins ou the promises we make. one of the things you have — the promises we make. one of the things you have suggested - the promises we make. one of the things you have suggested is - the promises we make. one of the things you have suggested is that l things you have suggested is that gps should come salaried members of staff rather than running practices as private businesses, are you aware how divisive an issue that is a town unpopular it bite me among gps was held there is definitely split opinion amongst primary and there are lots of gp _ opinion amongst primary and there are lots of gp partners _ opinion amongst primary and there are lots of gp partners who - opinion amongst primary and there are lots of gp partners who run - are lots of gp partners who run practices as businesses in the way nhs has since it has created who i think you are very good account of the equipment they show the benefits of that model what has changed is increasingly people coming into
7:36 am
general practice now prefer to be salaried, that is the trend now, by 2026 they will be the majority so i am asking in a very open way is that the model we should pursue in the future because the front door to the nhs is broken, more than 2 million people waited more than a month back in october to see a gp, we know gps are providing more appointments now than pre—pandemics of this is an issue of demand as well as a lack of gps, we lost nearly 5000 in the last decade, labour is committed to recruiting more gps, the biggest expansion of nhs staff in history but we are having to think quite radically about how we fix the front door to the nhs and how we can create other routes into the nhs whether that is through community pharmacies, three people being able to access some services like mental health directly rather than going through gps, so we are thinking radically because i think people can see the nhs is broken and we will
7:37 am
need to work with people, with patience and the profession to come up patience and the profession to come up with our serious plant notjust to grip the current crisis in the nhs but to make it fit for the future because i want to make sure in this the 75th year of the nhs that in the next 25 years we have an nhs that is free at the point of use providing fast high quality care and an nhs that we can generally say is the envy of the world and we are a far cry from that today because what the conservatives have done over the last 13 years. the conservatives have done over the last 13 years-— last 13 years. let's talk about specifics. _ last 13 years. let's talk about specifics, had _ last 13 years. let's talk about specifics, had come - last 13 years. let's talk about specifics, had come in - last 13 years. let's talk about specifics, had come in from | last 13 years. let's talk about i specifics, had come in from the last 13 years. let's talk about - specifics, had come in from the rcn has said they will consider during meetings reducing their pay demands from a 19% pay rise down to 10%, what do you think of that number for nurses, 10%? what do you think of that number for nurses. 10%?— nurses, 10%? what i can say for pat cullen, nurses, 10%? what i can say for pat cullen. she — nurses, 10%? what i can say for pat cullen. she is _ nurses, 10%? what i can say for pat cullen, she is a _ nurses, 10%? what i can say for pat cullen, she is a tough _ nurses, 10%? what i can say for pat cullen, she is a tough negotiator . cullen, she is a tough negotiator and she is representing the opinion
7:38 am
of nurses, she offered to call off the strike before christmas if the government would sit down and negotiate on pay and she is offering to meet the government halfway, surely that is the starting point. i don't expect the health secretary to come on the programme to negotiate live on airand come on the programme to negotiate live on air and i am not going to do that either, but i do think she has shown a degree of reasonableness in the face of government unreasonableness and i think we all know what nurses do for us and i think we all want to be there for nurses now and the lisa government can do is treat them with respect and get them round the table and does. since they are planning to float in the house of commons next week where they are threatening to sack nurses if they go on strike with their sack the nurses bill, let's not let on the head, treat them round with respect, get a deal thatis them round with respect, get a deal that is fair for nurses and understands the public finances but also gives a sense of hope about the

smoke—free by 2030 at the government is on course to miss it and there are a number of recommendations made by the former chief executive of barnardo's including a levy on big tobacco to fund public health and also in new zealand style barn where they gradually raise the age of which people can buy cigarettes over time. i'm interested in asking the public what they think about all of the measures that he proposed. harper the measures that he proposed. how would ou the measures that he proposed. how would you do — the measures that he proposed. how would you do that? the _ the measures that he proposed. how would you do that? the new- the measures that he proposed. how would you do that? the new zealandj would you do that? the new zealand government — would you do that? the new zealand government is _ would you do that? the new zealand government is doing _ would you do that? the new zealand government is doing it. _ would you do that? the new zealand government is doing it. we - would you do that? the new zealand government is doing it. we are - government is doing it. we are approaching it with an open mind. i am not entirely convinced, i saw some of the headlines this morning following an interview yesterday, i am not entirely convinced the ban would be workable. we already have issues in this country where people bring cigarettes and tobacco into the country illegally to avoid duties and paying their proper tax on the products, so we have to take into account those sorts of issues but i am in a very open—minded way going to have a big conversation

with the public and health professionals this year not only about how we treat illness but crucially how we prevent it and how we not only live longer but live well for longer, with the death likely need to tackle smoking the biggest cause of cancer in the country, the smoking ban of the last labour government was successful, to be fair to the coalition government and luciana berger, she campaigned for bands in cars, i think big tobacco plays a big role in our nation pose like ill—health and in driving cancer and we have to tackle that and i am pretty open—minded about how we do that but we need to debate these issues and labour is not afraid of debating big ideas and engaging with the public about what we can do to keep well, reduce the demand on the nhs and make sure that £6 billion being wasted on obesity could be spent to much better effect elsewhere. 9. ~ could be spent to much better effect

elsewhere. :, ,, , :, i wonder how many people are up in this morning. i wonder how many people are up in this morning-— this morning. they are probably havin: a this morning. they are probably having a lion. _ morning. there is a feeling about the fa cup and people say too many matches and and people say too many matches and a distraction from the premier league and a sense that football is the preserve of those who watch the teams in the premier league, tell that to the stevenage fans. that is what it is all about, one of the greatest days in their history. this is when they _ greatest days in their history. tt 59 is when they get completely carried away. if you missed it, thought we'd relive some of the magic from yesterday. it looked for all the world that aston villa would be booking their spot in the fourth round, having taken the lead in the first half. and that's how it remained but edging towads full time, cue two mad—cap minutes.
7:43 am
villa a team with a raft of internationals, gave the ball away and a penalty, leander dendocker handed a straight red card, jamie reid scored from the spot after dean campbell had been fouled. the comeback was on for the league two side as stevenage, 59 places below villa, with the ground silenced by the equaliser, dean campbell stunned them with the winner in the 90th minute and they'll face stoke next. and for anyone who doubts the magic of the cup, tell that to stevenage manager steve evans and club chairman phil wallace and the club's players, who were dancing in the dressing room after the win, undoubtedly one of the greatest days in the club's history. from the highs to the lows. the honeymoon period is over for graham potter at chelsea, beaten 4—0 by manchester city as they crash out and their poor run continues. and perhaps signs of a tough afternoon. how about this for an opener from riyad mahrez, who scored the only goal in thursday's premier league meeting between the two sides, got the ball rolling
7:44 am
with a sublime free kick. ajulian alvarez penalty made it 2—0. phil foden added a third after 15 minutes, before mahrez got their fourth from the spot. "unacceptable", "embarrassing" and "pathetic" is how alan shearer called it in analysis. amid growing pressure, this was how the manager sees it. is this the biggest task of your managerial career today? well, yeah, because of the size of the club, the size of the challenge we have. what we need to do, where we are at the moment, yeah, it's a big challenge. but i also knew that there'd be some moments where it's going to be really tough. and clearly this is one of those moments. and it was a weekend of great entertainment, league one sheffield wednesday beating newcastle, and how about non—league wrexham beating coventry of the championship? club owner and hollywood a—lister ryan reynold tweeted to say he was speechless. i tell you what, it's not often you see a hollywood actor lost for words, is it?
7:45 am
guess that's what football does to you. �*what a town, what a club, wrexham afc forever,�* he wrote. rangers reduced the gap to celtic at the top of the scottish premiership to nine points after a hard—fought win against dundee united at tannadice. after a goalless first half, rangers scored twice in three minutes after the break. fashion sakala opened the scoring, before malik tillman wrapped up the points moments later. must have been something in the water this weekend after a dramatic opening day of the masters snooker at alexandra palace with defending champion neil robertson and three—time winner mark selby both crashing out. the australian was beaten by the 2015 winner shaun murphy by six frames to four. murphy led 5—1 before robertson fought back, but he held on and will now face either kyren wilson or stuart bingham in the quarterfinals. debutant hossein vafaei knocked out a rather glum—looking selby. he's not even in the world's top 16 and didn't even qualify automatically,
7:46 am
only taking zhao xintong's place after the chinese star became one of ten players suspended from the tour amid an investigation into match—fixing. vafaei made three half—centuries and two century breaks on his way to a 6—2 victory. talking of drama, you wonder if it will continue tonight because it is oxford united against arsenal, the league leaders.— oxford united against arsenal, the league leaders._ after | league leaders. could they? after this weekend? _ here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it has been a really busy few days for you. it has been a really busy few days foryou. plenty it has been a really busy few days for you. plenty of weather to talk about this morning. this week the forecast remains unsettled. if you're just stepping out at the moment the temperature in balmoral is one. in belfast it is four and over by the watch it is three so it
7:47 am
is a cold start for some of us. this week will often be wet and windy and it will remain unsettled but mainly mild, especially tomorrow when we see a surge in our temperatures. today we have isobars which are quite close together, breezy, a weather front coming in from the west, introducing some showers. the direction of the wind is going from the north—west, straight of the atlantic so we have a cooler day ahead of us today is represented by the blues. a lot of showers already in the north and the west and south. showers are crossing it that way is through today will continue to move towards the east and eventually they will clear. we have another weather front coming in across the north and west which will introduce some heavier more frequent showers at some of those will be country and have some hail embedded as well. drying up across southern and some eastern areas as we go through the day with temperature range six in aberdeen to about ten in plymouth.
7:48 am
through the evening of overnight we start on a breezy note but that gives way to some clearer skies and dry conditions and in comes the next weather front introducing heavy rain and also the stronger winds. temperatures overnight three in aberdeen to 11 in plymouth. tomorrow if we pick up this weather front it is a warm front having heavy rain on it as it pushes the crosses, and then later we have another weather front coming in which is a cold front coming in which is a cold front bringing a narrow band of rain but in between look at the colours, the yellows and numbers representing that it will turn milder as a wind comes from the south—west, in between these weather fronts. here is a heavy rain, heaviest on the hills in the north—west of angled and also wales and it will continue to push northwards and eastwards through the day and here comes the second one coming in again across parts of northern ireland, england and also wales. in between a lot of cloud around and it will be overcast and it will be pretty wet across
7:49 am
scotland and northern ireland. the wind will be a feature tomorrow. the strongest will be in the north and west along the coast and on the hills. look at the temperatures, 7—9 in scotland, 11—14 across england, wales and also northern ireland. but the weather doesn't settle down then. it will remain unsettled for then. it will remain unsettled for the rest of the week with the temperatures changing on a daily basis up and down. tv sit—coms never used to be like this — a religious family devoted to preparing for armageddon and avoiding eternal damnation. but that's the basis of a new comedy hitting our screens $0011. simon bird, best known for making us laugh as will mckenzie in the inbetweeners, is starring in the six—part series called "everyone else burns". let's have a look. yes, aaron.

8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. prince harry accuses some of his family of "getting into bed with the devil" by planting stories in the press, but defends his decision to speak out. well, they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile up until this point. and i'm not sure how honesty is burning bridges, you know? silence only allows
8:01 am
the abuser to abuse. in tv interviews that aired here and in the united states, he also revealed his strained relationship with his brother william and king charles. do you speak to your dad? we aren't... we haven't spoken for quite a while. um, no, not recently. health, teaching and rail unions are to hold talks with ministers today, to try to head off another wave of industrial action. businesses will find out later how much support they'll get with energy bills beyond march. the amount of government help available is expected be less than half the value of the current scheme, with firms paying more. thousands of supporters of the far right former brazilian president jair bolsonaro have attacked government buildings in the capital. drama in the fa cup in what was one of the upsets of the weekend. how league 2 stevenage knocked aston villa out in the third round of the fa cup. good morning.
8:02 am
todayis today is a day of bright spells, sunshine and showers. the heaviest will be in the north and west. it is going to be breezy. details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday, the 9th of january. did you watch it? what did you think? prince harry has accused members of his family of being complicit in the pain and suffering endured by his wife, meghan. in two television interviews — which were broadcast on itv and the american broadcaster cbs — he admitted his relationship with his brother and father was strained, but insisted he hoped for reconciliation. lots of reaction this morning. the palace has not commented on either interview, which were given in advance of the official release of prince harry's book spare. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. harry, the interview. what an original name! the themes of the interviews were familiar. fury at the british media,
8:03 am
frustration with his own family, pain at losing his mother. during the first interview excerpts from harry's audiobook were played. here, he described seeing photos of the paparazzi as his mother lay dying at the crash scene in paris. they'd never stopped shooting her while she lay between the seats, unconscious, or semi—conscious. and in their frenzy they'd sometimes accidentally photographed each other. not one of them was checking on her, offering her help, not even comforting her. they were just shooting, shooting, shooting. of his family, the criticism is direct. his brother and wife didn't get on with meghan from the start, he says. he accuses buckingham palace of not defending her, describing their silence is deafening. the sibling rivalry with william is portrayed as intense and damaging. it is now, he says, his life's
8:04 am
work to change the media landscape in the uk. and he again talked about his family planting stories with the press to enhance their reputation. and after many, many years of lies being told about me and my, my family, there comes a point where, again going back to the relationship between certain members of the family and the tabloid press, those certain members have decided to get into bed with the devil. there were at times contradictions and pettiness, perhaps as there are with all family fallouts, but he insisted he still loved his father and brother, and wanted things to be different. one might say, look, you haven't so much burnt your bridges as taken a flame—thrower to them by being this honest in the book. they might say to you, look, you've just destroyed any chance of a reconciliation? well, they've shown absolutely no
8:05 am
willingness to reconcile up until this point. and i'm not sure how honesty is burning bridges. silence only allows the abuser to abuse, right? so i don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better. that's genuinely what i believe. harry discusses the interview meghan did with oprah winfrey, when she said a member of the royal family question what their son archie's skin colour would be. he says neither he nor meghan viewed this question as racist. and he also shows his support for lady susan hussey, the former lady in waiting to the queen, accused of racism towards charity founder ngozi fellaini at a buckingham palace reception in november. i'm very happy for ngozi fellaini to be invited into the palace to sit down with lady susan hussey, and to reconcile, because meghan and i love susan hussey. we think she's great! and i also know that what she meant, she never meant any harm at all.
8:06 am
i will sit here and speak... in his interview for cbs in america, he again discusses his own family leaking stories to the media, focusing on his stepmother, camilla queen consort, who he said had used the media to rehabilitate her public image. that made her dangerous because of the connections she was forging within the british press. and there was open willingness on both sides to trade information. and with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on her way to being queen consort, there was going to be people, or bodies, left in the street because of that. harry told presenter anderson cooper that he had been in therapy for seven years, and had used experimental medication as part of that process. he was also asked about his current relationship with his brother and his father. do you speak to william now? do you text? eh, currently, no. but i look forward to us
8:07 am
being able to find peace. how long has it been since you spoke? um, a while. do you speak to your dad? we haven't spoken for quite a while. um... no, not recently. harry said he didn't think his father or his brother would read his new book. but he said writing it had been both painful and cathartic. where are you now? i think that's one question people have at the end of all this. are you... are you happy? yes, i'm very, very happy. i'm very at peace. i am in a better place than i've ever been. daniela relph, bbc news. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is outside buckingham palace. sarah, prince harry said he wants a reconciliation with the royal family, but he didn't pull any punches in these interviews. he talked about the palace strategy being never explain, never complain. the palate not explaining any this

8:18 am
authorities responding with tear gas to try and regain control of brazil's capital. this was a scenario many here feared might happen, after a divisive election back in october. these images are clearly reminiscent of what happened in the us capitol two years ago. after all, former president jair bolsonaro is nicknamed "the trump of the tropics" by some. but while far right protesters here have been emboldened by the former us president, this was more than just a copycat insurrection. and it goes beyond bolsonaro, too. what angers protesters most is not so much that bolsonaro lost, but the fact that lula won — a man they see as belonging in prison, not the presidential palace. there's been no evidence of fraud, despite what these protesters claim. but no matter. what these people want is military intervention. it's the only way, in their view, that brazil can be saved from what they see as a stolen election.
8:19 am
lula, though, the elected president, who's been in the job forjust a week, condemned what happened, calling the protesters fanatical fascists. translation: all those people who did this will be _ found and punished. they will realise that democracy guarantees the right to freedom and free speech, but it also demands that people respect the institutions created to strengthen democracy. by nightfall, people had been cleared from the buildings, and police were clearing the remaining protesters from the streets. at best, authorities were caught out unprepared. at worst, they're suspected of being involved. the supreme court has been asked to issue an arrest warrant for the man in charge of brasilia's security, a former minister under jair bolsonaro, who was dismissed after sunday's events. the calm may have been restored for now, but the political division remains. katy watson, bbc news in sao paulo. a new scheme to support firms with their energy bills will be announced in the house

indeed. all that blue. _ all that blue. just over three years ago, andrea bell decided she would set up a potato stand offering free food after meeting a mother unable to feed her seven children. her project has since grown, and she now feeds more than 100 people every night in sunderland with a group of volunteers. that story has now been turned into a song. our reporter david sillito went to meet her. a friend had just said, "you will be perfect for this." did you know what you were letting yourself...? no, absolutely no. i'm a cliffjumper. ijustjump off cliffs, and then hope for the best. # rain seeps through the only coat she knows...# we're in sunderland, and this is andrea, listening to a song that's been written about her, or rather about the soup kitchen and food bank she helped set up three and a half years ago. # some days it won't
8:25 am
take much at all # you can falljust a semi—tone...# sunderland community soup kitchen — what is that? it's a place where people can come and get fed for free. ijust vowed that nobody in sunderland would ever go without food again. and now they don't. the soup kitchen, known as albert's place, now has 71 volunteers, allotments, a warehouse, and now a song. the idea came from radio two's folk programme, to compose five songs based on real lives in britain today. and this is andrea's, composed and performed by martynjoseph. the song is about the reality of life, sadly, for many people in the uk and other countries right now, as we try to go through a very difficult time. and i would want us generally to become more compassionate and have a greater understanding of people'sjourneys, and realise that we're all very close to that border sometimes.
8:26 am
and this was its first performance in front of an audience of one, andrea. so what did she make of it? well, we'll let you watch. you decide. # humanity # and a cup of love # head bowed low, she walks on through her city # rain seeps through that only coat she owns # but on high street west, there's a place # there's a place she knows...# i'm quite a tough character. but that day i was overcome with emotion because i never imagined the song would be so fitting. incredible. the thing is as well, this is sort of myjourney and that just says it all, doesn't it? thank you. aw. you'll have me going in a minute!

8:31 am
it's going to feel quite chilly. temperatures dropping back again to mid single figures, clear spells, but the air will turn milder into tomorrow morning and there'll be outbreaks of rain as we start off tuesday. the southwesterly winds will start to pick up once again. it's looking wet and windy for much of the day. also milder, temperatures are returning back up to double figures. that's it from me — much more on our website and on bbc radio london — but for now it's back to jon and sally. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. thank you for being with breakfast. the one show presenter alexjones has been busy — retraining in a project that is very close to her heart. she spent six months helping out as a fertility assistant

8:42 am
for 26, 27 years. certainly a fantastic day for the town. but we don't kid ourself. you know, this is a fantastic football club, we'll enjoy the moment. these guys will have their own days and they've treated us absolutely fantastic since we walked into the building earlier today. and we'll now be humble and get on with ourjobs for saturday. chelsea fans have begun to turn on manager graham potter as boos rang out — dumped out 4—0 by manchester city. riyad mahrez, who scored when they beat chelsea in the league on thursday with a brilliant free kick. phil foden got their third, the others came from the spot. it means chelsea are out of both domestic cup competitions, tenth in the league, their sole hopes now lie in the champions league. amid growing pressure, this is how the manager sees it. is this the biggest task of your managerial career today? well, yeah, because of the size of the club, the size of the challenge we have. what we need to do, where we are at the moment, yeah, it's a big challenge.
8:43 am
but i also knew that there'd be some moments where it's going to be really tough. and clearly this is one of those moments. no doubt it was a weekend of great entertainment and someone who knows all about putting on a show... hollywood actor ryan reynolds. the wrexham owner reacted to his side beating coventry of the championship, simply tweeted he was speechless. it's not often you see a hollywood actor lost for words, is it? guess that's what football does to you.

8:44 am
the focal point of many living rooms was a piano. as they fell out of fashion, they were often dumped or even smashed up. now a scheme in edinburgh is trying to find new owners — and some new uses — for old pianos. joanne macaulay has been finding out more. this piano was destined for the dump. but it's been restored and given a second chance. many more unwanted instruments have been rescued by the adopt a piano team in edinburgh. people often think that an electric piano is the same thing as an acoustic piano, which simply isn't the case. you can't do this with an electric piano. woop! you can hear it sounds like a whole kind of building inside there. there's an amazing acoustic even before you play any of the notes.
8:45 am
and then just have these incredibly complex, interesting sounds. and that's not even to start talking about what a beautiful thing a piano is. in the 19505 and '605, piano smashing became something of a sport and an anti—establishment statement. but now trainee piano tuner mirra kannan is doing the opposite, bringing them back to life. there's something about a tone that's kind of off and you can hear it. and then slowly, as you as you turn that hammer, it sinks and then it becomes one. something very beautiful about that and kind of it calms me down. and i really like to bring that sense of unison in my life. these once condemned instruments are now getting a bit of attention, and soon many of them will be ready for new owners and they'll be making music again. some are past their best, but finding new uses as artwork or as the pianodrome,
8:46 am
an auditorium made entirely of old pianos. you've got a combination of all of this wood at different lengths from the centre, which is reflecting the sound in different ways. and you also have this lovely reverb which comes about because the strings are sympathetically resonating with the sounds on the inside of the pianodrome. so wherever we put the pianodrome, it creates this amazing acoustic and this warmth. and, you know, when you're in the pianodrome, you really feel sort of held by all of these pianos and all of their histories. and any prospective piano adopters are invited to come and have a try. gorgeous, i love an old piano. you are lloin gorgeous, i love an old piano. you are going to _ gorgeous, i love an old piano. you are going to play — gorgeous, i love an old piano. gm. are going to play today? gorgeous, i love an old piano. you

8:48 am
fixed rate mortgage deal currently sits at 5.8%. that's down slightly from over 6% in the autumn. but still higher than they were this time last year. property experts expect that to come down a bit more. but the bank of england is expected to raise interest rates again from the current 3.5% — putting an end to super low rates and cheap borrowing. meanwhile, the housing market is beginning to slow. the halifax building society confirmed last week that average house prices fell for the fourth month in a row in december. in theory, that's good for anyone saving to buy their first home. but remember mortgage rates are rising — and the number of mortgages being approved is the lowest it's been for two years. even having a good income and a deposit saved up is no guarantee of securing a mortgage right now — as kathryn from wales found out. we'd managed to get a deposit together, which had been
8:49 am
over a number of years, which we've been very lucky to be able to do that. so we had a decision in principle once we'd found a house, and unfortunately that got declined in the end, because something was brought up on a credit report. then that mistake on the credit report was rectified. so that was all fine. went to put in a new application and that new application came through at over £1,000 for a mortgage, and we'd gone over pretty much £350, so not affordable for us unfortunately. we were able to find actually a three—bedroom house for 150,000, which is really, really good where i come from. but, yeah, it was, you know, it's just taken so long and then you get all those emotions of "oh great, you know, we're finally getting somewhere" to then have your bubble burst. and we were just so deflated. and i'vejust kind of thought, "do you know what, i'm not going to bother now. i just want to rent for a little bit
8:50 am
until things calm down if they do calm down." you can look at the mortgage calculator on the bbc website, give you an estimate of how your monthly payments might change. the bank of england looked at this in december and it is estimated the average increase in people's monthly mortgage bills for those who are new this year will be £250 a month taking the average repayment from 750 to £1000 a month. we were talking about energy costs of businesses, households have less money after to go out and spend so it adds pressure on businesses who are also facing the same pressures. it is a lot of cash. balancing motherhood and medicine — that's the focus of the latest
8:51 am
medical drama to hit our screens — following the lives of three doctors. "maternal", which starts on itv next week, will take a look at the demands of being a new mum — combined with the pressure of working in a post—pandemic nhs. take a look. you ready? absolutely. screaming they'll be all right in five minutes, right? yeah. oh, wow. here she comes. i don't even think i brushed my teeth this morning. i how did she get a car seat in that car? say bye—bye. what did you do, just- throw her in from the door? she's fine. let's use our brains.
