good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. around 20,0000 paramedics and ambulance staff go on strike in the second walk—out of the winter over pay. health bosses warn the impact is likely to be worse than last month's action — the unions say the most urgent cases will still be covered. an apology from delivery firm evri, after hundreds of you shared your stories of parcel problems. they've been told tougher regulations are coming if things don't improve. prince harry defends comments in his new book about the number of people he killed in afghanistan, saying they've been taken out of context.

without doubt the most dangerous lie that they have told is that i somehow boasted about the number of people that i killed in afghanistan. newcastle ease past leicester at st james�* park and book their place in the league cup semi—finals. good morning. it is going to be a colder day to day than yesterday. although some of us are starting with some sunshine, already there are showers in the west. they will develop widely. some will be heavy and thundery, and it is going to be windy. details later in the programme. good morning. it's wednesday, 11th january. our main story. more than 20,000 ambulance workers in england and wales are on strike today, for a second time over pay. nhs providers, which represents hospital and ambulance trusts, said the pressure facing the health service meant it was in an even more "precarious position" than the previous strike three weeks ago.

paramedics, call handlers and ambulance dispatchers are all taking part in today's industrial action. health secretary steve barclay warned there will inevitably be some disruption, but urged patients to still call 999 for life—saving care, as gareth barlow reports. it's the second walk—out by ambulance staff this winter. workers, including paramedics, emergency care assistants, ambulance technicians, other 999 crew and control room staff across england and wales, are striking over pay, with nhs managers warning this round of action will be more severe than the last. more than 20,000 ambulance workers across england and wales are due to walk out. only the east of england ambulance service and the isle of wight nhs trust are unaffected. the strike will involve all staff, including paramedics and call handlers who are unison or gmb members. between them, the two unions represent about two thirds

of ambulance workers. some of the walk—outs started at midnight, but the duration and scale of disruption will vary across different parts of england and wales. services in scotland and northern ireland are unaffected. and where walk—outs do take place, categoryi calls for for immediately life—threatening emergencies, such as cardiac arrest, will be covered. but not every emergency in the next category down will receive an ambulance response. our main focus is making sure that those people who have life—threatening illnesses have safe services, and that's why i am confident in saying to the public, ring 999. that is the most important message i can get. there will be disruption on the strike day. that is going to be inevitable. and so if you don't have a life—threatening illness, but you need an ambulance, your call handler may advise you that you may have to wait longer than normal for an ambulance, or that you may have

to make your own way to hospital. despite those reassurances, the government has warned that a national deal to agree a minimum level of cover hasn't been agreed, with crews already struggling to respond in time to calls for emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes. ambulance staff, along with other nhs workers, have been offered a pay rise averaging 4.75%. but unions want an above inflation pay increase, saying that low wages are contributing to staffing issues across the service. despite the strikes, the vital message to the public is, if it is a critical, life—threatening emergency, do still call 999. gareth barlow, bbc news. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan is on a picket line in newport. tomos, what impact will this strike have in wales? yes, a real sense of deja vu here

today. very similar to that week before christmas. it is just the gmb union striking here today in wales. they make up around a quarter of the workers who work in the ambulance service. they will be on a 24—hour strike on picket lines from roughly around now until 6pm or 7pm. 0n the 23rd, there will be another strike. that will be the big one here because they will be two unions striking, similar to what is going on in a lot of areas across england. the big thing is the pay deal. mark drakeford, the first minister, possibly —— the deadline possibly giving a one—off payment on monday. details have not gone through. they will be talks on thursday with the unions. the information is that the one—off payment is not what the unions want. it is a short—term gap. what they want is salary rises and fair pay and a fair work environment.— fair pay and a fair work environment.

despite pay talks between unions and the government ending without an agreement, there have been reports that the mood could be shifting on both sides. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminster. so what are you hearing? is there the potential for a so what are you hearing? is there the potentialfor a compromise? the potential for a compromise? yeah. the potentialfor a compromise? yeah. i think there probably is more than there has been, as we were discussing earlier in the week there were some options on the table. a one—off payment similar to the one thomas morgan was talking about in wales. there is also the possibility that some of the pay deal for next year could be backdated by a few months. but i would add a caveat, which is we don't know what the details are, we don't know when an offer might be made, if it is made, we don't know if the unions would accept it. and i think the honest answer is that the relationship between the government and the unions is quite complicated right

now. yes, there is a bit of optimism when it comes to pay, but the unions are absolutely furious about the legislation introduced in parliament yesterday, which is designed to ensure minimum service levels during strikes in areas like the ambulance service. it would have been affected —— it would have affected today's strike if it had been in place already. they are angry about that. there is also a row brewing about what is going to be on offer today for people who phone for an ambulance, category one, life—threatening cases will be answered around the country. but category two, which is heart attacks, serious burns, that depends on the agreement being struck up in a local area in england. and the government is really angry about that. they say that means there is going to beat patchy service. that can't be allowed to continue. it is one of the reasons, they say, they need this legislation. the unions

say it is nonsense. they come to agreement all over the country about what calls would be responded to by striking workers. 0n pay, may be a bit more optimism. but with the caveat that nothing is guaranteed. in other areas the relationship still pretty poor.— secondary school teachers across scotland are going on strike today, after similar strike action at primary schools yesterday. unions have demanded a 10% pay rise for their members. the scottish government has offered 5%, and almost seven for the lowest—paid staff. last minute talks on monday ended without an agreement. counter—terrorism police are investigating how scrap metal containing traces of uranium arrived at london's heathrow airport last month. the bbc understands that one line of inquiry is whether it was the result of poor handling in pakistan, which was the country it came from. uranium can have nuclear—related uses once it has been refined, but police say in this case there was no threat to the public. the family of one of the two british men missing in ukraine say

they're "very worried" about his health and whereabouts. chris parry, who is 28, was last seen on friday with andrew bagshaw, heading to the town of soledar, which has seen intense fighting in recent days. in a statement, chris' family said he is "an extraordinary person who is compassionate and caring and would not be dissuaded from his work in ukraine". his family added that they are very proud of him. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. what more can you tell us about these missing men?— what more can you tell us about these missing men? good morning. we haven't had any — these missing men? good morning. we haven't had any update _ these missing men? good morning. we haven't had any update from _ these missing men? good morning. we haven't had any update from the - haven't had any update from the police in donetsk. it has been five days since christopher parry and andrew bagshaw went missing. they were travelling to the town of soledar, where fighting has been intense. it is a difficult search operation because reports suggest that russian forces have taken control of most of these town in the

east of the country. last night there were claims by a mercenary group, the wagner group, which has been leading the russian offensive in this town, and this group is now claiming that most of the town is now under russian control. so, it seems that the police, the ukrainian police, don't have access to parts of this town to carry out this operation. we understand some volunteers are also searching for these men, but again, we haven't had any update on this operation. as you can see, it is incredibly cold here in kyiv. it has been incredibly cold in kyiv. it has been incredibly cold in that part of the country as well. -10, -12 in that part of the country as well. —10, —12 degrees in that part of donetsk. so, a very difficult search operation for these men. five days after they went missing.— operation for these men. five days after they went missing. hugo, thank ou. tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes across the us state of california, as life—threatening storms bring

heavy rain and widespread flooding. at least seventeen people are now known to have died, with officials warning the conditions could lead to dangerous landslides. president biden has declared a state of emergency across the region. prince harry said claims he boasted in his new book about killing 25 taliban fighters while on duty in afghanistan, are a "dangerous lie". he has been criticised for discussing killings in his memoir, with some military figures saying it was wrong to refer to the dead as chess pieces. but on us tv, harry accused the press of taking his words out of context, saying it endangered his family. without doubt the most dangerous lie that they have told is that i somehow boasted about the number of people that i killed in afghanistan. it wasn't like — here's just one line. they had the whole section, they ripped it away and just said, here it is, he's boasting on this, when, as you say, that you've read it and everybody else will hopefully have a chance to read it. and that's dangerous.

and my words are not dangerous. but the spin of my words are very dangerous. so that is, as far as we know, the last of prince harry's interviews about the book which came out yesterday. four or five big ones yesterday. four orfive big ones across —— on both sides of the atlantic. that was stephen colbert. his last one. 12 minutes past six. it is a busy morning with the strikes. lots of coverage. we also need to keep an eye on the weather. i got soaked yesterday. it was wet everywhere. blue skies today? for some of us, yes. we will see some sunshine today. good morning. it is going to be a cooler day than yesterday. heavy downpours in the sense of showers. some of them merging and also strong, gusty winds. you will notice that if you are out and about. a lot of dry weather to start with. some sunshine. showers in the north and west get going through the

day. some of them merging as they cross england and wales. if you are in the west as we go through the afternoon. there will still be some. windy wherever you are, with gales with exposure in the west and also in the south. temperatures today, we are looking at roughly seven in lerwick to 12 in st helier. we have lost the 13s and “is that some of us had yesterday. as we head into the evening and overnight, the rain clears from the south—east to be replaced by another band coming in across northern ireland, england and wales, could clip southern scotland. behind it, drier conditions. it is still going to be windy. and of course where we have the showers and these low temperatures, there could be the risk of ice in some sheltered glens. we could also see a touch of frost. northern ireland, northern england and parts of scotland. tomorrow we start with this rain in the south. windy, gales across

coastal counties across the english channel and the southwest. you can see all the showers moving and once again from the west to the east. some will be wintry on higher ground. as one batch goes through, this is what we call a wraparound occlusion, further showers in northern and western scotland and northern ireland. temperatures tomorrow, six in lerwick to 12 or 13 in the south—eastern corner. then the weather remains unsettled. well, there's a surprise. thank you. at least we know. we have been warned. could we see a crackdown on parcel delivery times? maybe. hundreds of you have been sharing your stories in the past couple of days. we have had an apology from evri and a warning from the industry watchdog after coverage of this story yesterday. nina has all the details. they have said sorry.— yesterday. nina has all the details. they have said sorry. yes, we got so many messages _ they have said sorry. yes, we got so many messages with _ they have said sorry. yes, we got so many messages with viewers - many messages with viewers yesterday. good morning. you told

us, they listened. we have had hundreds of stories of bad service from evri. from parcels being delivered to the wrong place do not showing up at all. and now, evri have apologised and acknowledged things were not good enough. they have also been warned they could face tougher regulations unless things get better. a reminder of what's been happening. 0n things get better. a reminder of what's been happening. on top of the usual december precious, parcel firms say the royal mail strike added to the sheer volume of deliveries. thank you for letting us know about your experiences. we have let evri know some of your stories. here are some of them. i'd sort of set my heart on these four presents. so i couldn't get them. in the end i had tojust give money vouchers. so, i don't know really that i would want to use evri again, because i don't feel like i can actually rely on them. and certainly if a company was using evri now, i'd think twice before i would actually

purchase anything from them. i left a clear notice asking them to deliver my parcel, an espresso machine worth hundreds of pounds, to a neighbour. as you can see, it was left on my doorstep next to the notice. my frustration is because i am| a small business, we have lost customers obviously through it, because they look at it - personally, that it's . actually our business, about our failing toi provide their goods. and that's the most frustrating thing i find of all. _ i have had evri deliver a parcel, leave it out at the back of the house and out in the rain without letting us know it had been delivered. all i can say is, thank you evri. i'm aware that my experience isn't the same as lots of other people, but our personal experience is that we have had great service from evri. 0ur delivery person has been consistent for at least the last couple of years.

yvonne is always really friendly, smiley, but most importantly, always ensures that our parcels are delivered safely and securely. she perseveres to make sure that they get to us. on december the 18th, i we booked evri to collect two parcels from us. it is nowjanuary the 10th, and both are still here. i another we sent arrived ten days late and damaged. - it looked as if someone had kicked it around. i i ordered a collectable item from the states in september. evri said they delivered it, but they'd actually dumped it outside on a communal doorstep near to a block of flats where i live. it took some time to wrench a refund, but i managed to find it again in the uk and this seller sent it to me again. and they have lost it. and i can't contact evri to find out where it is. it'sjust gone missing.

well, in response, evri have said, "we are sorry that some customers are experiencing short, localised delays in receiving their parcels." the firm says it has been "impacted by high demand, staff shortages and bad weather conditions". evri admitted the service has "not been as good as we would have liked", and said it will focus on recruitment. the regulator 0fcom told us that the service some people receive when a delivery goes wrong, simply isn't good enough, and said it's strengthening regulations make sure people are treated fairly. it's warning delivery firms to get better at handling complaints, introduce better protections for disabled customers, and says it'll consider enforcement action if there's no significant improvements. let's find out more now about some of the pressures the parcel firms are facing. kylie aldridge has her own logistics company, which delivers packages for evri, and joins us now. good morning. thank you forjoining us. we heard they are from people who had been in touch with breakfast. some people have had a

very good experience with evri. 0thers very good experience with evri. others have had a howler where they are still waiting for things to be delivered from november. why is there such a difference depending on where you live?— where you live? well, it is a good model. it where you live? well, it is a good model- it is _ where you live? well, it is a good model. it is built _ where you live? well, it is a good model. it is built on _ where you live? well, it is a good model. it is built on having - where you live? well, it is a good model. it is built on having your. model. it is built on having your own local, friendly delivery driver, who is perfectly contactable, who gets to know exactly where you would like your parcel left. and where that model works, the service is going to be fantastic and people are going to be fantastic and people are going to be really pleased, because they know the person that is going to be delivering to them and they know the service they are going to get. so, that is how it is meant to work. unfortunately, there is an issue with recruitment across the entire industry. lots of people during the pandemic were on furlough and there were lots of people lining up and there were lots of people lining up to take deliveryjobs. and as that situation has settled down, there just isn't, we don't have that level of people looking for work in

the industry. so there is some inconsistency. i5 the industry. so there is some inconsistency.— the industry. so there is some inconsistency. is there an issue with working — inconsistency. is there an issue with working conditions - inconsistency. is there an issue with working conditions for - inconsistency. is there an issue - with working conditions for drivers? i spoke to one who said he gets pennies for parcels, one day it might be a few, the next day he is overwhelmed. it's difficult for him to plan his budget. who would want a job like that?— job like that? when people 'oin the com an job like that? when people 'oin the company they * job like that? when people 'oin the company they know fl job like that? when people 'oin the company they know that h job like that? when people join the company they know that the - job like that? when people join the company they know that the price i company they know that the price varies on the amount of parcels that are available on that day. thatjust depends on how many parcels are in the network. literally how many parcels you, the general public, are ordering. but, yeah, ithink over time we have been really impacted by things like rising fuel costs. the company have tried to put some things in place. is it enough? i don't think so. so, yeah, i think drivers could be paid more. there is a process as well where people can

apply to have a higher rate, to have their rate looked at. and across the board, my personal opinion is that, yes, curriers should be having an increase where we are now seeing this rising cost of living. —— careers. that is going to make a massive impact on whether or not drivers, once they have entered the business, whether they stay or not. do you think more widely the delivery industry needs to catch up with how the market is changing? absolutely. it is notjust evri. it is across the entire industry. i feel it is a real shame that evri have been accused of ruining christmas throughout the media. the reason that we are so overloaded is because other delivery companies haven't been delivering their parcels, so that means that we have had more than we would normally have at christmas. it is normally high anyway at christmas. the other thing

that we find is that usually we look for... after christmas there is a bit of a january slump and everybody gets a break. if there is anything to catch up on, that is the perfect time. unfortunately, this year, where there are still strikes, a calendar of strikes, in fact, people are still choosing to use alternative delivery services where they may have used other ones. that has meant that we have been continuously overloaded. so those volumes haven't dropped like they would normally do. thank you so much for your time. that was a really good explanation of how it works and why there is so much pressure on the industry. good luck. it doesn't look like this is calming down any time soon. it is not going to get easier. don't go too far away because we have a story in the newspaper review you might be interested in. does it involve food?!

yes! more specific than that, inspired by yesterday. let's take a look at today's papers. many of today's front pages focus on government plans to bring in anti—strike legislation. the metro labels the proposals a �*strike against strikes', reporting that ambulance, fire and rail staff could face the sack unless some stay at work during industrial action, if the laws are passed. the times looks at new figures suggesting 50,000 more people than normal have died over the past 12 months. the paper points to nhs delays for the excess deaths. the sun leads with the news that an investigation by counter—terrorism officers is under way, after uranium was seized at heathrow. a source told the paper that the race is on to find everyone involved. and the curious case of the missing former prime minister features on the front page of the guardian. the picture below was tweeted out by grant shapps recently, and eagle—eyed social media users noted that borisjohnson appeared

to have been airbrushed out from the original. mr shapps' office said he wasn't aware the photo had been edited. i thought this picture we would —— we are about to show you was edited. this is what we need to show nina. you were in a pasty factory yesterday. look, to try to stop you eating all of them, they have sent one into space. this combined two var stories for this week. a cornish pasty into space. wasn't it from the como spaceport? yes, the satellite launch we were talking about yesterday failed, but they sent this up by helium balloon and it has gone all the way. where has it landed? has it landed ? i has it landed? i can take or leave a cornish pasty. i can take or leave a cornish pasty. i know that is controversial. the ratio of filling to pastry is not for me. too much pastry around the edge. can i tell you what happened

yesterday? i took a stake slice home. really looking forward to it for my lunch. came downstairs and my husband said, delicious steak slice, that. is he still alive? barely. he is going to be minced and put in the pasty. the pasties you are eating yesterday, they were different from cornish pasties? the pastry is thinner, they are rectangular. they don't have that ridge around the edge. come on you are from the south—west! you can start a civil war if utah —— start talking about pasty wars. i will do a taste test of the job requires it. to get in touch if you have an opinion on pasties. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm alice salfield. today ambulance staff across london are taking part in their second day

of strike action this winter. aongside paramedics, control room staff who take calls and assign crews, are walking out in a dispute over pay. londoners are being warned there will be fewer ambulances on the roads. what we would ask the public is what they did for us in december, in the last industrial action, is only phone us if they have a life and limb threatening emergency. because when that happened, call volumes went down by a third. if the public phone us only when they have a life—threatening, life or limb threatening emergency, then we are confident we can carry on providing a good standard of care. there are more homeless children in london than the rest of the country put together, according to figures from the charity shelter. 0verall, there are 150,000 homeless people in london. almost half are children. newham has the highest level of homelessness in the capital with one in 21 without a permanent home.

0ur advisers are doing everything that they can right now to help people fight for their home and get out of homelessness. but it is really tough out there with rents rising, with energy bills skyrocketing, and people are finding it very tough and we're very worried there could be a massive increase in homelessness. the department for housing says the government has given councils £366 million this year to help provide temporary housing. a soho strip club has been shut down for three months after several customers claim to have lost thousands of pounds after having their drinks spiked. the venue suggests the allegations come from men who did not want their partners to find out they had spent money on strippers. the club, vanity bar and nightclub, denies any wrongdoing. let's take a look at the tubes now. the 0verground is part suspended between gospel 0ak and upper holloway and between willesdenjunction and camden road. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. plenty more wet and windy weather

to come in the forecast for much of the rest of the week across the capital with low pressure largely dominant. but for this morning, well, it's a dry and bright start to the day. temperatures generally between six and eight celsius. a lot of morning sunshine and a noticeable westerly wind. but things will steadily go downhill. there is a rash of showers out towards the west and through the afternoon, they are going to be sweeping their way eastwards. there will be some heavy downpours at times, especially towards the end of the day. and the winds will start to ramp up as well. so a brisk westerly wind blowing, top temperatures a little lower than they were yesterday, but still above the seasonal average. as we head through this evening and overnight, there will be some dry weather around, but not for very long. our next system pushes its way in from the west and it will be stay very windy as well. temperatures down to around six and 8 degrees celsius into thursday. on thursday we see outbreaks of rain going on and off throughout the day. always plenty of cloud but it stays windy but it should be drier and brighter on friday.

that's all for now but there's plenty more on our instagram including a video of the moment a meteror lit up the sky over west london. now it's back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning. the stars of hollywood hit the red carpet overnight for the 80th golden globes. we'll hear who the big winners were just before seven. 0ur winners tonight will go home with the title of best couple. 0ur losers willjust go home. the married comediansjon richardson and lucy beaumont will be here to talk about their new panel show which features celebrity couples putting their relationships to the test through a series of challenges. should we be worried? i don't know! and if you fancy camping

inside a converted german fire truck, or an old american school bus, thenjohnny vegas will be here to talk all about his vintage vehicles glamping experience that's returning this spring. as we've been hearing, more than 20,000 ambulance workers will be striking across england and wales today, in an ongoing pay dispute. paramedics, ambulance technicians, and control room staff will be among those on the picket lines. zoe conway has been to meet some of them, who've told her about the physical and emotional pressure they work under day to day. emergency ambulance, is the patient breathing? this is what a relatively good day looks like at the london ambulance call centre. the wait time is approximately 18 to 20 minutes. they're meeting their response time targets, 18 to 20 minutes for people with serious conditions who are not at immediate risk of dying. but it's stressful work. there are patients who are nervous. gather any medications and unlock the door.

anything changes, please call us back immediately. relatives who are frightened. i understand you're distressed. some call handlers at this service are walking out today. they're demanding better pay. ambulance emergency centre call takers are paid between just over £20,000 and just over £21,000. call handlers talk about the emotional toll it takes to do theirjob. simone has been a call takerfor 15 years. when we got our first call and when a patient�*s maybe got chest pains, or level of consciousness is low, and then we get a second call 20 minutes later and the patient has stopped breathing, that's really upsetting. we take these kind of calls home. it's not easy on our mental health and we're upset and hurt for the patient and their families. when an ambulance is dispatched, a paramedic will be on board. a newly qualified paramedic could earn anything from £27,000 to nearly £33,000.

but most paramedics are on a higher salary of more than £110,000. david says he became a paramedic in 1989 so that he could look after people. but every day, he says, it gets harder to do so. a hundred ambulances out per day, and on average per day there's roughly between 20 to a0 ambulances stuck at the a&e department per day. so that has a significant impact on your resources you've already put out there. david believes that patients are dying unnecessarily. patients' safety is at huge risk, huge risk. you know, i never thought that... from time to time i've had patients that have actually died on the ambulance. but that's because of the nature of their illness or the seriousness of the road accident, for example. but i've never experienced where patients have to wait outside in an a&e department, a definitive care where you expect to be in and treated for the appropriate condition,

dying in the ambulance. it's soul destroying. paramedics aren't the only people who respond to calls. there are also ambulance technicians. they're not as qualified as paramedics, but they can give emergency care. their starting salary is nearly £24,000, but with experience, they could earn nearly £33,000. ambulance workers talk about being constantly on the go. it means there's no time to stop and recover from those harrowing moments. sean will never forget the day a baby went into cardiac arrest. everyone at the service did their best, he says. but the child died. what broke me, and what wakes me up now to this day, is the noise that mum made when baby was declared dead. and it's those sorts of things, those sorts of parts of the job that people don't see. so i delivered baby to resus,

the consultants and everybody were working on it. i was cleaning up my trolley and as i'm walking out, i heard her scream, and that scream, being a dad, i knew exactly what that was. so it's these pressures that are out there that stay with you. that don't go away, don't leave you. but that's why we do the job. we do the job to do what we can for people. ambulance workers taking part in this strike say that this dispute is about so much more than pay. they also want people to know of the pressure they're under, of the days when they feel they failed the public they so desperately want to serve. zoe conway, bbc news. we'rejoined now byjon richards, the assistant general secretary for unison, one of the unions representing the ambulance workers. good morning. harrowing stories in

that reportjust good morning. harrowing stories in that report just there. good morning. harrowing stories in that reportjust there. and we are hearing ambulance staff talking about non—strike days, the conditions that they are working under, can you give us an idea of what the situation will be like today? if that is a non—strike day, what is today going to be like, for us, for people watching at home, anyone who needs to call for an ambulance today?— anyone who needs to call for an ambulance today? inevitably there will be more _ ambulance today? inevitably there will be more disruption _ ambulance today? inevitably there will be more disruption than - ambulance today? inevitably there will be more disruption than there| will be more disruption than there is on a normal day. and it's not something, a position that we want to do people in. but we have been trying to resolve this dispute for several months, 61 since we started, and we have been trying to talk to the government about pay for a long time. only on monday did they finally start to talk to us about the basis of our dispute. so finally start to talk to us about the basis of our dispute. so do you think ou the basis of our dispute. so do you think you are _ the basis of our dispute. so do you think you are getting _ the basis of our dispute. so do you think you are getting closer- the basis of our dispute. so do you think you are getting closer to - the basis of our dispute. so do you think you are getting closer to a i think you are getting closer to a resolution? i think you are getting closer to a resolution?— think you are getting closer to a resolution? ~ ., , ., resolution? i think we have seen a chink of light. _ resolution? i think we have seen a chink of light, and _ resolution? i think we have seen a chink of light, and we _ resolution? i think we have seen a chink of light, and we are - resolution? i think we have seen a chink of light, and we are pleased | chink of light, and we are pleased about that. the government have started to talk about pay. it is a dispute fundamentally about pay but the consequence of not paying

ambulance workers enough, particularly at the times when inflation and cost of living is increasing at such a rate, the problem is that has a knock—on effect on the service. it's fundamentally about pay but it is about pay and the impact that has in the service. so, yes, we see some progress, but we have not had an offer, we have not had anything in writing yet and we need to have that before we can make progress. what writing yet and we need to have that before we can make progress. what is makin: ou before we can make progress. what is making you hopeful, _ before we can make progress. what is making you hopeful, is _ before we can make progress. what is making you hopeful, is it _ before we can make progress. what is making you hopeful, is it that - before we can make progress. what is making you hopeful, is it that the - making you hopeful, is it that the mood is changed? we have seen the suggestion that there could be a one—off payment, a lump sum offered, does that make you hopeful? irate one-off payment, a lump sum offered, does that make you hopeful?— does that make you hopeful? we have heard that, the _ does that make you hopeful? we have heard that, the only _ does that make you hopeful? we have heard that, the only person _ does that make you hopeful? we have heard that, the only person who - does that make you hopeful? we have heard that, the only person who has . heard that, the only person who has said that formally has said mark drakeford in wales who has said that, that is promising. the government tone has changed, before christmas they were condemning the strikers and saying unhelpful things about deliberate patient harm which is not true. you have seen from that, there is no way that ambulance workers or the wider health service are doing that to cause harm. that

tone has changed. the meeting that my colleague said on monday, they noticed a difference. there is a long way to go and there is nothing formal but we are always hopeful, we are pragmatic and we want people to get back to work. we are part of the solution. i get back to work. we are part of the solution. ~ ., , ., ., ., ., solution. i know you are going to sa ou solution. i know you are going to say you don't _ solution. i know you are going to say you don't want _ solution. i know you are going to say you don't want to _ solution. i know you are going to say you don't want to negotiate i solution. i know you are going to i say you don't want to negotiate on air, and say the specifics of the negotiations on air, but for people who are watching you are concerned who are watching you are concerned who want to know what is going to happen who want to feel safe and baby, support the ambulance workers, what would be acceptable to you and your workers? at what point will you say, we can call off the strikes and keep talking?— keep talking? that isn't a decision for me. i keep talking? that isn't a decision for me- ican't _ keep talking? that isn't a decision for me. i can't negotiate - keep talking? that isn't a decision for me. i can't negotiate on - keep talking? that isn't a decision for me. i can't negotiate on air, i keep talking? that isn't a decision for me. i can't negotiate on air, it| for me. i can't negotiate on air, it would not be right for us to do so. we have to have those negotiations... we have to have those negotiations. . ._ we have to have those negotiations... we have to have those neuotiations... �*, , ., ., negotiations... it's 'ust how far down that t negotiations... it's 'ust how far down that line _ negotiations... it's 'ust how far down that line of _ negotiations... it'sjust how far down that line of pay _ negotiations... it's just how far i down that line of pay negotiations you have to go before this garics up colder. —— the strikes are called off.

windy, two weather fronts are coming our way with some showers, but we are starting on a dry or bright and sunny note. strong winds towards the west and the south, gales with exposure. the weather fronts, west and the south, gales with exposure. the weatherfronts, the showers will merge to give some longer spells of rain as they travel west to east and it will not just longer spells of rain as they travel west to east and it will notjust be windy with exposure, inland you will notice the strength of the gusts of wind. temperatures down a touch on where we were yesterday, highs of seven in the north to 12 as we push down towards the south. this evening and overnight, we carry on with some showers for a time, and that this next batch of rain moves in across northern ireland, southern scotland, england and wales. behind it we will see some clearer skies coming in, are cold elect across scotland, northern england, —— a colder night across scotland, a touch of ice on untreated surfaces that we could see a touch of frost in the north, but in the south, double figures.

tomorrow, the weather front in the south will develop what we call a wave, so that will enhance the rain on it. and another weatherfront thinking south and they will merge. but we are back to the yellow, the wind is coming from the south—west thatis wind is coming from the south—west that is a milder direction. it will be windy across some coast of wales and the south—west and english channel, some rain in the south merging with the rain coming in from the west, and if we follow the curl around, you can see further showers coming in across northern and western scotland, northern ireland and north—west england. in between all of that, some dry conditions and to some sunshine. while there comes back on the south—westerly, 11 to 13 in england and wales, six to nine in scotland and northern ireland. from thursday into friday, we say goodbye to these weather fronts, still a lot of isobars of the charts, still windy. the low pressure pulls away. during the course of friday we will

have some showers around, and quite a bit of cloud coming in across the north and west of scotland. these showers coming in from the west, but equally acquire today, a lot of drier weather around. equally acquire today, a lot of drierweatheraround. it equally acquire today, a lot of drier weather around. it is not going to be as windy, temperatures down again, four in lerwick about 12 towards plymouth. by the time we get towards plymouth. by the time we get to sunday, the temperatures on their way down once again. thank you, all change. let's get the sport now. big smiles on tyneside. what a difference a few days makes! newcastle knocked out of the fa cup and here they are now into the semifinals of the league cup. and a great night for local night dan burn, six foot six, you can't miss him!

is something brewing in the north east? newcastle into a first cup semi final in 18 years, with fans daring to dream the season could end with silverware. someone who was in dreamland was defender and fan dan burn. he was let go by the club aged 11, made his way back through the lower leagues, before making a return to his boyhood club after the takeover, he got his first goal for the club last night, theirfirst in a 2—0 win over leicester to help streer them theirfirst in a 2—0 win over leicester to help steer them into the league cup semi finals. and a goal of such significance deserves a celebration. what was that? do you think he honed his dance moves as a youngster in the north east as well? i can't quite believe what he is saying. i can't quite believe what he is sa int. ., , ., that is saying. that is some move! that is hel . ed saying. that is some move! that is hel-ed b saying. that is some move! that is helped by the _ saying. that is some move! that is helped by the heights. _ amazing what it spawned. these were the streets of newcastle last night. everyone is at it! wonder what they'll be doing if they win it? i wonder what you will be doing, john! i i wonder what you will be doing, john! ., ., ., ., , . i wonder what you will be doing,

still searching for more, says they need to be more clinical. making a return too, england fast bowlerjofra archer, after 17 months out. long seen as one of the most exciting prospects in world cricket, he had two surgeries on an elbow injury, a stress fracture in his back, so his first competitive return coming for the mumbai indians cape town was being closely watched by england, where he took three wickets, and more importantly came out unscathed. and the masters snooker well under way with one or two surprise spectators. former winner mark williams looked a little shocked when a wasp landed in an uncomfortable spot. he was forced into some evasive action. before he drafted in some backup from the match referee. i thought he was doing that dance as well! but it was showing no signs of leaving him alone. when you need a steady hand, as you

yeah, i think it has been a roller—coaster year since the invasion of ukraine, with prices fluctuating almost week by week. and there has been a lot of volatility in the oil and commodities market, and obviously, the russian invasion put a squeeze on resources. july saw the highest prices of diesel almost £2, and petrol not much below. as you say, there is no glimmer of hope, prices have come down to just below £1 50. but the market is still a bit of a mess. we saw yesterday, in various rural areas, wales and northern ireland, prices were 10p per litre cheaper than in some of the urban areas, which really makes no sense, because you would think that those garages that have more throughput in the urban areas could a chilly afford cheaper prices. i

think one of the things that has happened in the last couple of years, there is less competition from the supermarkets. the supermarkets always used to be the market leaders, they would cut prices, there would be a price war, other garages would put their prices down. now supermarkets seem to be competing more in the aisles of the shop, ratherthan competing more in the aisles of the shop, rather than on the forecourts. and i think that has had quite a dramatic effect. naturally, that keeps some of the prices artificially high. it's tricky to tredict, artificially high. it's tricky to predict. it — artificially high. it's tricky to predict. it is _ artificially high. it's tricky to predict, it is a _ artificially high. it's tricky to predict, it is a very - artificially high. it's tricky to - predict, it is a very unpredictable market at the moment and the price of diesel is still high, why is that? , , , . , ., of diesel is still high, why is that? diesel prices tend to be a bit hither in that? diesel prices tend to be a bit higher in winter _ that? diesel prices tend to be a bit higher in winter anyway _ that? diesel prices tend to be a bit higher in winter anyway because i that? diesel prices tend to be a bit. higher in winter anyway because more diesel is used for heating and for industry. so that keeps the prices higher. the other thing that might be reflected here, there is slightly less demand for diesel as more people switch to petrol and electric

vehicles. but i guess the other thing is, what will happen in march, there is a budget in march, and the 5p there is a budget in march, and the 5p cut that the chancellor introduced last march, they said that was just for 12 months. so introduced last march, they said that wasjust for 12 months. so in theory, that could be reinstated this march. so we are certainly pleading to the government that that really should not be the case. and if duty was increased again, it would fuel inflation. because whether we like it or not, we are dependent on fuel forgetting our goods to market, everything that turns up in our shops, that is transported to the ports, the vast majority goes by road, and most of thatis majority goes by road, and most of that is diesel. it is very important for economic recovery. the thing drivers can do, you can shop around, there are differences in prices, and also look at your driving style. if you slow down, drive more smoothly, get rid of the roof rack you are not

using, you can save up to 15% of your fuel consumption using, you can save up to 15% of yourfuel consumption by using, you can save up to 15% of your fuel consumption by doing that. good advice, edmund king, thank you very much indeed. red carpet season has arrived. the stars of hollywood turned out for the 80th golden globes last night with the film banshees of inisherin being one of the big winners of the evening. there'd been some uncertainty around who would attend the awards following two years of controversy, with accusations of a lack of diversity with the organisation that runs the globes. but it was still a star—studded event, with a—listers like colin farrell, eddie redmayne and margot robbie in attendance. let's take a look. and the golden globe goes to... steven spielberg. i told this story in steven spielberg. ! told this story in part— steven spielberg. i told this story in part and parcel all through my career~ _ in part and parcel all through my career~ et— in part and parcel all through my career. et has a lot to do with this story _ career. et has a lot to do with this sto . f .

hollywood journalistjeannie hollywood journalist jeannie wolf joins us. hollywood journalistjeannie wolf joins us. good morning. i know you didn't go to the event that you have watched it for us, how was it and have the golden globes recovered from a scandalous couple of years? i think they made a big intent to recover. the show started with an mc named jerrod carmichael, and he joked about the golden globes and said, the only reason i am here is because i'm a black. and i surprising opening. —— because i'm black. what a surprising opening, but he never got off that mood and he tamped things down so i was longing for ricky gervais is at the end and i never thought i would say that. what was really meaningful is you saw people like michelle yeo, stephen spielberg, ke huy quan who

won four everything everywhere all at once, he was in indiana jones when he was 12 years old, 30 years later he wins best supporting actor, he had not done a film sense. colin farrell, you saw how emotional he was. and austin butler, who played elvis, he was elegant and emotional. and wonderful. it meant a lot to everybody. so the overwhelming feel of the night was kind of a sincere appreciation and an acknowledgement of change, not because of the golden globes, but in the world. as to the acceptance of diversity. but it certainly wasn't the party of the year. a couple of people admitted they were drunk! someone said, i'm drunk and they didn't give me enough food! but to the reputation of the

what we would ask the public is what they did for us in december, in the last industrial action, is only phone us if they have a life and limb threatening emergency. because when that happened, call volumes went down by a third. if the public phone us only when they have a life—threatening, life or limb threatening emergency, then we are confident we can carry on providing a good standard of care. there are more homeless children in london than the rest of the country put together, according to figures from the charity shelter. overall, there are 150,000 homeless people in london. almost half are children. newham has the highest level of homelessness in the capital, with one in 21 without a permanent home. our advisers are doing everything that they can right now to help people fight for their home and get out of homelessness. but it is really tough out there with rents rising, with energy bills skyrocketing, and people are finding it very tough

and we're very worried there could be a massive increase in homelessness. the department for housing says the government has given councils £366 million this year to help provide temporary housing. a soho strip club has been shut down for three months, after several customers claim to have lost thousands of pounds after having their drinks spiked. the venue suggests the allegations come from men who don't want their partners to find out they've spent money on strippers. the club — vanity bar and nightclub — denies any wrongdoing. now let's look at the tubes. there are minor delays on the bakerloo line, and the 0verground is part suspended with severe delays. next, the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. plenty more wet and windy weather to come in the forecast for much of the rest of the week across the capital with low pressure largely dominant. but for this morning, well, it's a dry and bright start to the day. temperatures generally between six and eight celsius.

a lot of morning sunshine and a noticeable westerly wind. but things will steadily go downhill. there is a rash of showers out towards the west and through the afternoon, they are going to be sweeping their way eastwards. there will be some heavy downpours at times, especially towards the end of the day. and the winds will start to ramp up as well. so a brisk westerly wind blowing, top temperatures a little lower than they were yesterday, but still above the seasonal average. as we head through this evening and overnight, there will be some dry weather around, but not for very long. our next system pushes its way in from the west and it will be stay very windy as well. temperatures down to around six and 8 degrees celsius into thursday. on thursday we see outbreaks of rain going on and off throughout the day. always plenty of cloud but it stays windy but it should be drier and brighter on friday. that's it. there's plenty more on our instagram though, including a video of the moment a meteror lit up the sky over london on monday evening. i'll see you soon. bye—bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. around 20,000 paramedics and ambulance staff go on strike over pay in the second walk—out of the winter. health bosses warn the impact is likely to be worse than last month's action — the unions say the most urgent cases will still be covered. you told us — they say they're listening. the delivery firm evri issues an apology after hundreds of you tell us about your late, missing, and damaged parcels. they are warned — get better, or face tougher regulations. prince harry defends comments in his new book about the number of people he killed in afghanistan, saying they've been taken out of context without doubt the most dangerous lie that they have told is that i somehow boasted about the number of people that i killed in afghanistan. the stuff of dreams — how local lad dan burn helped steer newcastle into their first cup semi final in 18 years.

good morning. it isa it is a cooler day today than yesterday. it is also a day of sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be heavy and boundary. wintry on higher ground and it is going to be windy. details later. good morning. it's wednesday, 11th january. our main story. more than 20,000 ambulance workers in england and wales are on strike today, for a second time over pay. nhs providers, which represents hospital and ambulance trusts, said the pressure facing the health service meant it was in an even more precarious position than the previous strike three weeks ago. paramedics, call handlers and ambulance dispatchers are all taking part in today's industrial action. health secretary steve barclay warned there will inevitably be some disruption, but urged patients to still call 999 for life—saving care, as gareth barlow reports.

it's the second walk—out by ambulance staff this winter. workers, including paramedics, emergency care assistants, ambulance technicians, other 999 crew and control room staff across england and wales, are striking over pay, with nhs managers warning this round of action will be more severe than the last. more than 20,000 ambulance workers across england and wales are due to walk out. only the east of england ambulance service and the isle of wight nhs trust are unaffected. the strike will involve all staff, including paramedics and call handlers who are unison or gmb members. between them, the two unions represent about two thirds of ambulance workers. some of the walk—outs started at midnight, but the duration and scale of disruption will vary across different parts of england and wales. services in scotland

and northern ireland are unaffected. and where walk—outs do take place, category1 calls for immediately life—threatening emergencies, such as cardiac arrest, will be covered. but not every emergency in the next category down will receive an ambulance response. our main focus is making sure that those people who have life—threatening illnesses have safe services, and that's why i am confident in saying to the public, ring 999. that is the most important message i can give. there will be disruption on the strike day. that is going to be inevitable. and so if you don't have a life—threatening illness, but you need an ambulance, your call handler may advise you that you may have to wait longer than normal for an ambulance, or that you may have to make your own way to hospital. despite those reassurances, the government has warned that a national deal to agree a minimum level of cover hasn't been agreed, with crews already struggling to respond in time to calls for emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes.

ambulance staff, along with other nhs workers, have been offered a pay rise averaging 4.75%. but unions want an above inflation pay increase, saying that low wages are contributing to staffing issues across the service. it is fundamentally about pay, but it is a _ it is fundamentally about pay, but it is a better pay and the impact it has on _ it is a better pay and the impact it has on the — it is a better pay and the impact it has on the service. so yes, we see some _ has on the service. so yes, we see some progress, but we haven't had an offei’, _ some progress, but we haven't had an offer. we _ some progress, but we haven't had an offer, we haven't had anything in writing _ offer, we haven't had anything in writing yet, and we need to have that _ despite the strikes, the vital message to the public is, if it is a critical, life—threatening emergency, do still call 999. gareth barlow, bbc news. the strikes have started in some places. in gateshead, union members of the north east ambulance service have begun their strike action. sharon barbour is on the picket line for us this this morning. we can see them out. what is the atmosphere?— we can see them out. what is the atmosphere? well, they have been

who is compassionate and caring and would not be dissuaded from his work in ukraine". his family added that they are very proud of him. in the us, tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes as life—threatening storms bring heavy rain and flooding to large parts of california. at least 17 people have died since the storms began, with officials warning the conditions could lead to further, dangerous landslides. our north america correspondent james clayton sent us this report from santa cruz. this is supposed to be a picturesque beach but it is covered in detritus, wood, even entire trees that have been swept into the sea by swollen rivers. a state of emergency has been declared here. it isn'tjust the coast that has been hit. in the mountains the small town of felton has been under water as the local

river burst its banks. karen hendrick realised that the water was coming up to her house too late. she couldn't get out, stuck above the water as it rose around her home. is it scary when you're surrounded by floodwater like that? this was the first time that i was scared, yeah. in the past i always thought, you know, we'll get three, four, even five feet of floodwater coming through. this one didn't seem like it was going to stop, and i was imagining, you know, ten, 12 feet of water, so that was pretty scary. 24—hours ago, the floodwater was about up here to my chest. it's now receded, but what's left is this thick, glutinous mud, which has covered what is, in fact, a paved road. and of course, the mud has not just stuck to the streets. it has covered the inside of people's homes too. audrey baxter is a student who lives in the town. she lost childhood memories memories. my art portfolios from when i was younger, all in here. can i have a look?

there might be in one of the trash bags, but these are alljust like, games and books. and can you show me that? this is just silly sally. and it'sjust something i used to read as a child, and it's alljust soaked all the way through. santa cruz isn't alone. many other areas across california are being deluged. floods, landslides and blackouts. it has left the governor of california scrambling for resources, and worried about what's to come. have you ever seen anything like it? not at this scale. i mean, i've seen isolated incidents. these experiences are unique. in that respect, they're novel. but they are also predictable, because this is our lived reality with this weather whiplash and the extremes, and it's likely we'll see more of this in the future. each weather system that hits california wouldn't do much damage by itself. but it's the insistent nature of the weather, storm after storm, that is pummelling the state. and with no end in sight, california is braced for yet more rain and yet more damage to come. james clayton, bbc news, santa cruz.

causing serious disruption. you don't expect peaches like that out of california. it was pouring down here yesterday. luckily, nothing as devastating as the pictures we have seen from the states. carol can tell us of the wet weather is set to continue. good morning. it is indeed. we have got rain, showers and it is going to be windy for the next few days. these are the temperatures this morning if you are stepping out. seven as we push down towards the isle of wight. what is happening todayis isle of wight. what is happening today is we have got a lot of showers around. as the moment a lot of them are in the north and the west. some of them are heavy. there will be thunder and hail embedded in them. wintry on the tops of the mountains in scotland. we have also got them across northern ireland, northern england, wales, down towards the south—west. voice

further east and we are starting off in a drier note. for example, in the south—east, with some sunshine. two weather fronts will bring in two lines of showers, some merging to give heavier downpours. and it's going to be a windy day wherever you are. but especially around the coasts and hills in the west and the south. the temperatures today not as high as yesterday. likely to get up to 11 degrees. tonight we will have some showers might be for this band of heavy rain moves in across northern ireland, england, wales and southern scotland. you can see the tail of it across the southern areas across the course of the morning. these areas, wales and the south—west, which of course have already got saturated ground, this will exacerbate the flooding risk here. still mild in the south, colder in the north, where we could see some frost, possibly some ice. tomorrow, we still have the weather front and southern areas. another one coming in, moving south—east,

will merge with this one. a few showers in the north and west. in between these two areas, a fair bit of sunshine, more bright spells and still mild in the south but cooler in the north. carol, thank you. tv presenter sue perkins has revealed that she's recently discovered she has adhd, and she's not alone. it affects people's ability to concentrate. research by the adhd foundation shows the number of uk adults seeking a diagnosis has increased by 400% since 2020. sue opened up about her condition while responding to a tweet from gomez guitarist tom gray, who told his followers that he'd been strongly advised to seek a diagnosis himself. sue offered reassurance, and said after she found out, "suddenly everything made sense to me and those who love me". we're joined now by tony

now, now that it is better understood, who are beginning to realise that maybe a lot of the reasons they have struggled were in fact adhd. many have been treated for years for things like anxiety and depression. and realise that actually, now they have a better understanding of what adhd is, perhaps that is the reason why, particularly women.— particularly women. jenin is nodding- — particularly women. jenin is nodding. this _ particularly women. jenin is nodding. this all— particularly women. jenin is nodding. this all makes i particularly women. jenin is i nodding. this all makes sense to you. thank you for coming in and to telling us your story. you are one of those who relatively recently has been diagnosed. what your friends said to you —— if one of your friends asked you what adhd is, what is it to you? it is friends asked you what adhd is, what is it to ou? , ., friends asked you what adhd is, what is it to ou? _, , is it to you? it is a different operating — is it to you? it is a different operating system. - is it to you? it is a different operating system. my - is it to you? it is a different operating system. my brain is it to you? it is a different i operating system. my brain is is it to you? it is a different - operating system. my brain isjust as good _ operating system. my brain isjust as good as — operating system. my brain isjust as good as everybody's else's. it is working _ as good as everybody's else's. it is working typically. there are areas where _ working typically. there are areas where it _ working typically. there are areas where it is — working typically. there are areas where it is stronger and different. some _ where it is stronger and different. some of— where it is stronger and different. some of the challenges i face are perhaps— some of the challenges i face are perhaps less socially acceptable. things _ perhaps less socially acceptable. things like having time blindness, struggling with being places on time, _ struggling with being places on time, prioritising things, understanding how long things will

really within our education system. what we have done is we label people disordered rather than seeing them as having a different type of intelligence. one in ten people have got dyslexia, for example. it doesn't mean you have got a low iq. most children with dyslexia finish school not knowing they've got dyslexia, underachieving and thinking they are not very bright or employable. it is the same with adhd. the two frequently cooccur. often you have both.— often you have both. listening to some of the _ often you have both. listening to some of the ways _ often you have both. listening to some of the ways your _ often you have both. listening to some of the ways your life - often you have both. listening to some of the ways your life has i often you have both. listening to i some of the ways your life has been affected, timekeeping, things like your parking metre, there will be loads of people watching this morning thinking, i sometimes get the parking metre run and i am rubbish with parking management. where is the line between adhd and not adhd? . , ., ., , not adhd? that is a really good cuestion. not adhd? that is a really good question- it _ not adhd? that is a really good question. it is _ not adhd? that is a really good question. it is determined - not adhd? that is a really good question. it is determined by i not adhd? that is a really good question. it is determined by a| question. it is determined by a whole set of diagnostic metrics. we can all be forgetful sometimes. we

can all be forgetful sometimes. we can all be a bit disorganised. we can all be a bit disorganised. we can all be a bit disorganised. we can all find it difficult to concentrate sometimes. often that is sometimes because we are under stress or pressure. but for people with adhd that is constant. and when somebody is being assessed for adhd, we are looking at how those characteristics are affecting them at home, at work and socially. and, you know, different people, we are also the product of our own experiences. sometimes if you have had traumatic events as well, you are more vulnerable to people —— things like ptsd, anxiety or depression. it is something that needs to be done properly by a clinician. l needs to be done properly by a clinician. . , .,. clinician. i was the teacher trainin: clinician. i was the teacher training going? _ clinician. i was the teacher training going? oh, - clinician. i was the teacher training going? oh, that l clinician. i was the teacher l training going? oh, that was clinician. i was the teacher - training going? oh, that was a long time auo training going? oh, that was a long time ago now _ training going? oh, that was a long time ago now- l— training going? oh, that was a long time ago now. i taught _ training going? oh, that was a long time ago now. i taught for- training going? oh, that was a long time ago now. i taught for a - training going? oh, that was a long time ago now. i taught for a while. | time ago now. i taught for a while. i'm no— time ago now. i taught for a while. i'm no longer teaching. time ago now. i taught for a while. i'm no longerteaching. i time ago now. i taught for a while. i'm no longer teaching. i work solely— i'm no longer teaching. i work solely supporting people with adhd now. solely supporting people with adhd now it _ solely supporting people with adhd now it is _ solely supporting people with adhd now. it is a huge turnaround. 0riginally— now. it is a huge turnaround. originally when my daughter had adhd, _ originally when my daughter had adhd, and ultimate —— autism diagnosis. _ adhd, and ultimate —— autism diagnosis, i didn't believe in adhd

there are. they theoretically collect and deliver parcels to your doorstep. we talked about it yesterday. honestly, literally hundreds of messages from viewers in ourinbox, hundreds of messages from viewers in our inbox, our social media. we have had more this morning. claire in somerset is waiting for a person sent using the next day service on the 15th of december. she contacted them and they said it would be ten days. since then, communications have gone dead. liam said it so frustrating. it's ok it has not gone smoothly, but we need to be able to communicate with them. brendan says, i never buy from firms who use evri. that highlights what we said earlier. the knock—on effect for businesses who use them as a service. sara got in touch and i have to stress we have had a few of these. "my career is amazing. he is usually early, never late, the best career we have ever had." it is quite literally a postcode lottery when it comes to evri drivers. evri

have apologised. they told us they know things aren't good enough and will focus on recruitment. the regulator, ofcom said, they will have to pull their socks up or face tougher regulations. we spoke with a logistics operator earlier. she said recruitment is an issue. part of thatis recruitment is an issue. part of that is the working conditions for drivers. some are paid pennies for parcels. that doesn't bode well for staff retention. they also stress it is notjust evri. there has been extra volume and every delivery service because of royal mail strikes. i think itjust shows that over lockdown we increased our online shopping, it put pressure on delivery services, the infrastructure, the regulation isn't there yet. it's quite seasonal as well, isn't it? i did get a christmas present through the post on monday. that was a nice late surprise. you don't have to send it back, do you? oh no, it's lovely. no complaint to santa them?

not this year. that story came from you. always let us know things going on at home in your lives we should be investigating and get in touch. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm alice salfield. today ambulance staff across london are taking part in their second day of strike action this winter. alongside paramedics, control room staff who take calls and assign crews, are walking out in a dispute over pay. londoners are being warned there will be fewer ambulances on the roads. what we would ask the public is what they did for us in december, in the last industrial action, is only phone us if they have a life and limb threatening emergency. because when that happened, call volumes went down by a third. if the public phone us only when they have a life—threatening, life or limb threatening emergency, then we are confident we can carry on providing a good standard of care.

there are more homeless children in london than the rest of the country put together, according to figures from the charity shelter. overall, there are 150,000 homeless people in london. almost half are children. the government says it has given councils £366 million this year to help provide temporary housing. the metropolitan police commissioner says over the next year the force will use data to identify the most dangerous 100 predatory men in london. during a speech in central london last night, sir mark rowley outlined plans to use technology to help target resources. he also said the pay system needed to be reformed to attract people with a range of skills including more cyber experts. a soho strip club has been shut down for three months after several customers claim to have lost thousands of pounds after having their drinks spiked. the venue suggests the allegations come from men who don't want their partners to find out they've spent money on strippers.

the club, vanity bar and nightclub, denies any wrongdoing. now let's look at the tubes. there are minor delays on the bakerloo line and the 0verground is part suspended with severe delays. next the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. plenty more wet and windy weather to come in the forecast for much of the rest of the week across the capital with low pressure largely dominant. but for this morning, well, it's a dry and bright start to the day. temperatures generally between six and eight celsius. a lot of morning sunshine and a noticeable westerly wind. but things will steadily go downhill. there is a rash of showers out towards the west and through the afternoon, they are going to be sweeping their way eastwards. there will be some heavy downpours at times, especially towards the end of the day. and the winds will start to ramp up as well. so a brisk westerly wind blowing, top temperatures a little lower than they were yesterday, but still above the seasonal average. as we head through this

evening and overnight, there will be some dry weather around, but not for very long. our next system pushes its way in from the west and it will stay very windy as well. temperatures down to around six and 8 degrees celsius into thursday. on thursday we see outbreaks of rain going on and off throughout the day. always plenty of cloud but it stays windy but it should be drier and brighter on friday. that's it. there's plenty more on our instagram though including a video of the moment a meteor lit up the sky over london hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. as we've been hearing, more than 20,000 ambulance workers are going on strike today in england and wales for the second time over an ongoing dispute about pay. let's talk now to the health secretary, steve barclay. good morning. last time they went on

strike, you said they had made a conscious choice to inflict harm on patients, do you agree that is what they are doing this time as well? i think it is extremely regrettable given the very severe pressure the nhs is under, we saw a sevenfold increase in flu admissions injust one month, 100 times more patients in hospital with blue compared to this time last year and that comes on top of already severe pressures from covid, more than 9000 patients in hospital with covid. the nhs is under pressure. we accepted in for the independent pay regulator... i5 the independent pay regulator... is it independent? the _ the independent pay regulator. .. is it independent? the pay— the independent pay regulator... is it independent? the pay review i it independent? the pay review rocess it independent? the pay review process is. _ it independent? the pay review process is. it — it independent? the pay review process is, it is _ it independent? the pay review process is, it is supported i it independent? the pay review process is, it is supported by i it independent? the pay review. process is, it is supported by the opposition as well, it is something governments of different colours have done over a number of years. you appoint to the people on that committee, don't you, and you set the parameterfor committee, don't you, and you set the parameter for the committee, don't you, and you set the parameterfor the paid decision

so it's not really independent. it’s so it's not really independent. it�*s something other governments have done over the years, it's something the opposition say they themselves support in terms of having a pay review body process. it is no way that you look at both the needs of the —— it is a way that you look at the —— it is a way that you look at the needs of the individual health sector and what is affordable to your viewers, sector and what is affordable to yourviewers, many sector and what is affordable to your viewers, many of whom are facing significant pressure on cost of living in their own jobs. facing significant pressure on cost of living in their ownjobs. it's right to have a balanced approach. we met with the trade unions on monday to discuss this year is coming evidence to the pay review body, so that we can ensure that it does reflect the pressure we have seen on inflation, the pressure we have seen on the cost of living and we want to work constructively with the trade unions to recognise that the trade unions to recognise that the nhs is under particular pressure. salaries and cost of living is also a challenge, and we want to make sure the evidence that goes to the pay review body reflects there is concern. you goes to the pay review body reflects there is concern.— there is concern. you say you have been talking _ there is concern. you say you have been talking to _ there is concern. you say you have been talking to them _ there is concern. you say you have been talking to them about - there is concern. you say you have been talking to them about next i been talking to them about next year's pay, they are striking about

this year's arrangements, aren't they? i want to talk about this idea of a one—off payment, a potential lump sum which might be offered which might try to get some kind of agreement. have you talked to the prime minister and the chancellor about offering a one—off payment? well, what i was talking to them on monday about was this coming year's pay review body, that will take effect from april, rather than looking retrospectively going all the way back to last april in last year. so it is important that we look at this coming year and get the evidence right there. of course in terms of discussions, i have discussions with the prime minister and the chancellor and other departments, and the departments were also looking at their discussions with trade unions, it's notjust myself discussions with trade unions, it's not just myself with discussions with trade unions, it's notjust myself with health trade unions but the education secretary was meeting with the teaching unions this week, the transport secretary was meeting with the rail unions. so other departments are also having these conversations to ensure that

handover in ambulance delayed is largely caused by the fact that we have got 13,000 patients in hospital who are ready to leave hospital, they are ready and medically fit but are delayed because of challenges in social care. find are delayed because of challenges in social care. s , ., are delayed because of challenges in social care. . , ., ., are delayed because of challenges in social care. s . , social care. and you have been in ower social care. and you have been in power for — social care. and you have been in power for 13 _ social care. and you have been in power for 13 years _ social care. and you have been in power for 13 years and _ social care. and you have been in power for 13 years and have i power for 13 years and have repeatedly said you have got a plan for social care. we repeatedly said you have got a plan for social care.— for social care. we invested an extra 95 _ for social care. we invested an extra £7.5 billion _ for social care. we invested an extra £7.5 billion in _ for social care. we invested an extra £7.5 billion in the - for social care. we invested an l extra £7.5 billion in the autumn statement, the chance of a set that out for two years. i5 statement, the chance of a set that out for two years.— out for two years. is that enough? when ou out for two years. is that enough? when you say _ out for two years. is that enough? when you say 12 — out for two years. is that enough? when you say 12 or— out for two years. is that enough? when you say 12 or 13 _ out for two years. is that enough? when you say 12 or 13 years, i out for two years. is that enough? when you say 12 or 13 years, all. when you say 12 or 13 years, all systems as a consequence of the pandemic, my french counterpart has been talking about pressure, the german system is under pressure, if you look at the comments of the first minister in scotland, she said on monday that scotland's hospitals were nearly completely full, if you look at the pressure in wales, more than 50,000 patients waiting more than 50,000 patients waiting more than two years for an operation. so health systems as a consequence of

the pandemic have been under massive strain. so what we saw over christmas was a sevenfold increase in the surge of flu cases, more than 100 times the number of patients in hospital with a flu competitor last year which created massive pressure. not only do you get with blue the demand challenge —— with flu the demand challenge —— with flu the demand challenge —— with flu the demand challenge in terms of patients, it has an impact on staff absences because they are often also affected by flu when it spikes in that way. health systems across europe and the uk have been under massive pressure from covid and flu which is why the chancellor has invested additional funding which is why the chancellor has invested additionalfunding into which is why the chancellor has invested additional funding into our nhs. ., ,, , invested additional funding into our nhs. ., ~ ., nhs. you keep saying flu and you can sin covid nhs. you keep saying flu and you can sign covid but — nhs. you keep saying flu and you can sign covid but our _ nhs. you keep saying flu and you can sign covid but our viewers _ nhs. you keep saying flu and you can sign covid but our viewers and - nhs. you keep saying flu and you can sign covid but our viewers and nhs i sign covid but our viewers and nhs staff keep telling us that this is notjust staff keep telling us that this is not just this winter and staff keep telling us that this is notjust this winter and it is not just flu and covid. we spoke to an ambulance dispatcher in the north west who said to us that this job is now crushingly depressing, stressful, embarrassing. ifeel

stressful, embarrassing. i feel destroyed. stressful, embarrassing. ifeel destroyed. the feeling of saving lives has been taken over by how many we cannot kill. and that's not due to covid or flu, many we cannot kill. and that's not due to covid orflu, that many we cannot kill. and that's not due to covid or flu, that is many we cannot kill. and that's not due to covid orflu, that is due, they would say committee years of squeezing the funding on the nhs. == squeezing the funding on the nhs. -- they would say, years of squeezing funding on the nhs. there is a marked difference in the pressure on the nhs pre—pandemic to what we are experiencing today and that is something common across europe, you can see that in other countries and in the nhs in wales and scotland. that is not something which is unique to england. we recognise that concerns that you quote there, we are recognising them in terms of the nhs is under serious pressure, we can all see that, we see that in the coverage on the bbc itself. that is why we are targeting how we get to those patients who are ready to leave hospital out. investing in better integration between our social care and our nhs. if we get those patients out of hospital, that in turn helps relieve the pressure

on emergency departments, which in turn enables the ambulances to bring down handover delays. when i talk to paramedics, their principal concern, they say to me, isn't the issue of pay, it is their frustration with those very long ambulance handover delays. that's what we have been working so hard on and that's why we had this statement on monday, further investment in emergency departments, particularly targeting how we get patients who are fit to leave hospital out into social care. so many of them are also telling us that the problem is starting, there is not enough staffing, 130,000 vacancies in the nhs this morning. another quote for you, another ambulance dispatcher told us, i never thought i would leave the nhs but right now i would take a job at alty, | but right now i would take a job at alty, i would take a job cleaning, i would do anything, how are you going to fill the gaps and recruit behind somebody like that? hate to fill the gaps and recruit behind somebody like that?— to fill the gaps and recruit behind somebody like that? we have a 4096 more ambulance _ somebody like that? we have a 4096 more ambulance staff— somebody like that? we have a 4096 more ambulance staff than - somebody like that? we have a 4096 more ambulance staff than we i somebody like that? we have a 4096 more ambulance staff than we did i somebody like that? we have a 4096 more ambulance staff than we did in j more ambulance staff than we did in 2010, 50% more consultants than we

we have won 3—0 so that's good. but of course, i think we have to be more clinical. but i think we have scoring players in our team and i think the most now that you see is rashy. that's quite obvious. it wasn't in the start of the season but now he's in the right run. city face southampton later hoping to reach the semis. but pep guardiola's mind is clearly on saturday's derby as well. he says he's got some ridiculous ideas to ensure city come out on top. i have a few ideas, thoughts, particularly when it's united. but still i didn't watch the last games. i have to say the way we play at home, and the way to change something, i have to still review. that's why i don't have clear the line—up against united.

iith, has been pretty wet as these figures tell you. so far we have had 148 millimetres in wales, the january average is 154, even closer to the average in blackpool, where we have had 75, and the average is 78. this week there are more rain and showers in the forecast. today is no exception, showers in the north and west, heavy through the day and some falling as snow on higher ground, especially in scotland. at the moment we have two weather fronts coming in, scotland. at the moment we have two weatherfronts coming in, they scotland. at the moment we have two weather fronts coming in, they are both enhancing the showers as they move from the west to the east, and look at the array of isobars. they are squeezed, meaning it will be windy wherever you are, but gales is developing around the coastal hills in the west and south through the day. showers merging as they push across england and wales, showers across england and wales, showers across northern ireland and scotland, some of them wintry. as we go through the day, the showers will

become fewer but they will not absolutely dry up in the west, and it is going to be windy wherever you are. gusty winds once again, with temperatures seven to ii or 12 degrees so down a notch on where they were yesterday. this evening and overnight, the first bout of showers moves away but then we have got heavy rain coming in across northern ireland, wales and the south—west, the rain is falling on saturated ground so the flood risk will be situated. further north under clearer skies it will be colder and they could be a touch of frost or some ice on untreated surfaces. into tomorrow we have rain in southern areas, a new band of rain coming in from the west pushing south—east and it will merge with this band and it is pushing north—east, the other end of it. as we move around this area of rain,

what is cold a wraparound occlusion, showers in northern ireland and scotland. in between drier and brighter and some sunshine. mild across england and wales for the time of year, 11 to 13, six nine in northern ireland and scotland. the weather fronts clear away overnight on thursday, the isobars are close together for a time and a ridge of high pressure builds in. so basically that all means that friday is going to be quieter, more drier weather around, a bit more cloud around the north of scotland, and quite a few showers coming in from the west, but it will not be as windy. for most it will be more dry with temperatures for 211 degrees, and by sunday, those temperatures going to slip a bit more —— temperatures on friday will be four to 11 degrees.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. around 20,000 paramedics and ambulance staff go

on strike over pay in the second walk—out of the winter. health bosses warn the impact is likely to be worse than last month's action — the unions say the most urgent cases will still be covered. you told us, they say they're listening. the delivery firm evri issues an apology after hundreds of you tell us about your late, missing, and damaged parcels. they are warned — get better or face tougher regulations. prince harry defends comments in his new book about the number of people he killed in afghanistan, saying they've been taken out of context without doubt the most dangerous lie that they have told is that i somehow boasted about the number of people that i killed in afghanistan. in sport this morning, dan's the man. it's the stuff of dreams for local lad dan burn, who helps newcastle reach theirfirst cup semi final in 18 years. good morning. it is not going to be as mild as it

was yesterday. we have got a lot of showers. some heavy and thundery. in between, some sunshine. also another windy day. details later. good morning. it's wednesday, 11th january. more than 20,000 ambulance workers in england and wales are on strike today, for a second time over pay. nhs providers, which represents hospital and ambulance trusts, said the pressure facing the health service meant it was in an even more precarious position than the previous strike three weeks ago. paramedics, call handlers and ambulance dispatchers are all taking part in today's industrial action. health secretary steve barclay warned there will inevitably be some disruption, but urged patients to still call 999 for life—saving care, as gareth barlow reports. it's the second walk—out by ambulance staff this winter. workers, including paramedics, emergency

care assistants, ambulance technicians, other 999 crew and control room staff across england and wales, are striking over pay, with nhs managers warning this round of action will be more severe than the last. more than 20,000 ambulance workers across england and wales are due to walk out. only the east of england ambulance service and the isle of wight nhs trust are unaffected. the strike will involve all staff, including paramedics and call handlers who are unison or gmb members. between them, the two unions represent about two thirds of ambulance workers. some of the walk—outs started at midnight, but the duration and scale of disruption will vary across different parts of england and wales. services in scotland and northern ireland are unaffected. and where walk—outs do take place, category1 calls for immediately life—threatening emergencies, such as cardiac arrest, will be covered.

but not every emergency in the next category down will receive an ambulance response. our main focus is making sure that those people who have life—threatening illnesses have safe services, and that's why i am confident in saying to the public, ring 999. that is the most important message i can give. there will be disruption on the strike day. that is going to be inevitable. and so if you don't have a life—threatening illness, but you need an ambulance, your call handler may advise you that you may have to wait longer than normal for an ambulance, or that you may have to make your own way to hospital. despite those reassurances, the government has warned that a national deal to agree a minimum level of cover hasn't been agreed, with crews already struggling to respond in time to calls for emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes. ambulance staff, along with other nhs workers, have been offered a pay rise averaging 4.75%. but unions want an above inflation pay increase, saying that low wages are contributing to

staffing issues across the service. it is fundamentally about pay, but it is about pay and the impact it has on the service. so yes, we see some progress, but we haven't had an offer, we haven't had anything in writing yet, and we need to have that. despite the strikes, the vital message to the public is, if it is a critical, life—threatening emergency, do still call 999. gareth barlow, bbc news. in gateshead, our correspondent sharon barbour is on the picket line with members of the north east ambulance service. good morning. the wind is blowing, but they are all out there on the picket line?— but they are all out there on the icket line? . , , , .., picket line? yeah, it is pretty cold but very determined _ picket line? yeah, it is pretty cold but very determined striking - but very determined striking ambulance staff here in gateshead. behind them, ambulances ready to respond to category one call group two. —— calleds. before we talk

about the strike, let's talk about the impact of the last strike, which will give us some indication of what the impact of this strike is going to be. bear in mind this strike has been escalated because call handlers and patient transport is involved as well. brian, you took part in the last strike on the 21st of december. what was the impact of that? in the last da of what was the impact of that? in the last day of action _ what was the impact of that? in the last day of action the _ what was the impact of that? in the last day of action the call _ what was the impact of that? in the last day of action the call volume i last day of action the call volume was down by 36%. crews that were responding — was down by 36%. crews that were responding on strike from the picket line were _ responding on strike from the picket line were actually busier that day than they— line were actually busier that day than they were the day before. customers want queueing as much as they were _ customers want queueing as much as they were in — customers want queueing as much as they were in hospital.— they were in hospital. there is talk ofthe they were in hospital. there is talk of the introduction _ they were in hospital. there is talk of the introduction of _ they were in hospital. there is talk of the introduction of a _ they were in hospital. there is talk of the introduction of a new - they were in hospital. there is talk of the introduction of a new law i of the introduction of a new law which would make this strike action different in future possibly if it goes through. ijust different in future possibly if it goes through. i just wonder different in future possibly if it goes through. ijust wonder if different in future possibly if it goes through. i just wonder if that does go through and your name is down not to strike, what will you do? , ., ., , ., ~' do? personally, iwill take the chance and — do? personally, iwill take the chance and i _ do? personally, iwill take the chance and i will— do? personally, iwill take the chance and i will still- do? personally, iwill take the chance and i will still take i do? personally, i will take the i chance and i will still take action.

us now from westminster. what else that the health secretary say? he is not giving much away when it comes to the specific details, but let me tell you what we know. we know that he is looking at the idea of a one—off payment for health staff, or potentially introducing next year's increased pay a bit earlier to try to end the stalemate in talks with the unions. we have been hearing from some of the unions this morning, who have been saying they're absolutely going to look at that if the government comes up with a concrete offer. the problem we have at the moment when it comes to judging how realistic this is to ending the strikes, is we don't actually know what that concrete offer is going to be. there is no money on the table. there isn't a figure on the table. we don't know when it might happen. we don't know if it will be enough for the unions. or we can really say with any

certainty is that the government is making more positive noises. —— all we can say. the fact they put it on the table and they are prepared to discuss it, means that it is quite hard to back down from coming up with some sort of offer. but the health secretary was asked whether a new offer was going to be put on the table. here is what he said about the talks so far. we met again with the trade unions on monday— we met again with the trade unions on monday to discuss this year's coming — on monday to discuss this year's coming evidence to the pay review body, _ coming evidence to the pay review body, so _ coming evidence to the pay review body, so that we can ensure that it does _ body, so that we can ensure that it does reflect — body, so that we can ensure that it does reflect the pressure we have seen _ does reflect the pressure we have seen on _ does reflect the pressure we have seen on inflation, the pressure we have _ seen on inflation, the pressure we have seen— seen on inflation, the pressure we have seen on the cost of living, and we want _ have seen on the cost of living, and we want to— have seen on the cost of living, and we want to work constructively with the trade _ we want to work constructively with the trade unions to recognise that the trade unions to recognise that the nhs _ the trade unions to recognise that the nhs is — the trade unions to recognise that the nhs is under particular pressure. salaries and cost of living — pressure. salaries and cost of living is— pressure. salaries and cost of living is also a challenge. and we want _ living is also a challenge. and we want to— living is also a challenge. and we want to make sure the evidence that .oes want to make sure the evidence that goes to— want to make sure the evidence that goes to the — want to make sure the evidence that goes to the pay review body reflects those _ goes to the pay review body reflects those concerns. as

some of the tensions with the union is playing out. thank you. secondary school teachers across scotland are going on strike today, after similar strike action at primary schools yesterday. unions have demanded a 10% pay rise for their members. the scottish government has offered 5%, and almost seven for the lowest—paid staff. we're joined now by our scotland correspondent lorna gordon. lorna, how likely is a resolution to this dispute? i think there has been a slight shift in the language of this week. all sites describing recent talks as positive. the scottish government minister in charge of the negotiations with the teaching unions saying she would leave no stone unturned in her attempts to resolve this dispute. but it has to be said, both sides, their positions are still very far apart. the unions

want that 10% pay rise. shirley and sommerville says that is simply unaffordable. the unions are hoping for a better pay offer to be put on the table this week, but they say it does have to be a substantially improved pay offer. but of course there are a lot of children missing school today. 1800 at this school alone. around 300,000 right across scotland. some amazing preliminary exams. they will have to be rescheduled. parents are concerned. many of them, however, are supportive, many of those i spoke to are supportive of teachers' demands. teachers say their pay has to keep pace with inflation. but if there isn't a substantially improved pay offer made to them of this week, there will be more strikes starting again next week. it will take a different form. it will be rolling

strike action starting from next monday, hitting two council areas on different days, but more disruption is threatened if this dispute is not resolved soon. for now, thank you. counter terrorism police are investigating how scrap metal containing traces of uranium arrived at london's heathrow airport last month. the bbc understands that one line of inquiry is whether it was the result of poor handling in pakistan, which is where it came from. we're joined now by home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. morning to you. what can you tell us? this all happened on the 29th of december when a detector at heathrow airport, and it turns out they do have detectors which can pick up radiation, triggered an alarm and counterterrorism police officers were called in because there was a consignment of metal which seems to be emitting radiation, and what they found was what was described as a very small amount of uranium, highly

radioactive material, within this consignment of scrap metal. obviously that cause great concern. why would somebody be potentially smuggling in the uranium into the country? the risk of something like a dirty bomb. i am told that so far, in terms of how the investigation is going, that is not what seems to be the most likely scenario. it looks like this might be some kind of error almost, and is to do with poor handling of materials in pakistan, thatis handling of materials in pakistan, that is one of the most likely lines of inquiry. i should say this investigation is not complete, so, of course, it can still change and new avenues can still open up in the investigation. thank you. several people have been injured by a man who witnesses say was wielding a knife in one of france's busiest stations, the gare du nord in paris. a man has now been arrested, with police firing at the suspect to end the incident.

france's interior minister has tweeted his thanks to security forces for their "brave and effective" action. prince harry said claims he boasted in his new book about killing 25 taliban fighters while on duty in afghanistan, are a "dangerous lie". he has been criticised for discussing killings in his memoir, with some military figures saying he was wrong to refer to the dead as chess pieces. but on american tv, harry accused the press of taking his words out of context, saying it endangered his family. without doubt the most dangerous lie that they have told is that i somehow boasted about the number of people that i killed in afghanistan. it wasn't like — here's just one line. they had the whole section, they ripped it away and just said, here it is, he's boasting on this, when, as you say, that you've read it and everybody else will hopefully have a chance to read it. and that's dangerous. and my words are not dangerous. but the spin of my words

are very dangerous. that is his final big set piece interview, we think, for now. one of four. quarter past eight. in fact, 16 minutes past eight. here is carol with the weather. good morning. the weather for the here is carol with the weather. good morning. the weatherfor the next few days exchangeable. don't forget, if you want to know what it is going to be like where you are, check out the bbc weather app. there you will see the weather by the hour, by the day and by the week where you are, or maybe where you are going. today we have got strong, gusty winds and heavy downpours. not going to be as mild as yesterday. look at the amber plural marker and the others. on friday something milder comes our way. it turns cold on sunday. unsettled and changeable. that sums it up quite nicely. today we have showers coming in from the west

across wales and south—west england. a dry on a sunny start further east. as we push north into northern ireland, further showers. showers getting into northern ireland and also through northern and western and central parts of scotland, warily tops of the mountains, some of those will be wintry. the other thing today is it is going to be a windy day wherever you are, with gales with exposure in the west and south. some of the showers will merge across england and wales pushing into the south—east, and still some showers coming in across western scotland and northern ireland. in between, something drier. not as mild as yesterday, seven to 12 north to south. tomorrow, we lose the rain from the south—east for a time, then heavy rain comes in across northern ireland, southern scotland, england and wales. windy across much of england and wales. gales around the exposures in the south—west and cooler as we push further north. called for some, with a touch of frost. the potential for

called for some, with a touch of frost. the potentialfor ice called for some, with a touch of frost. the potential for ice on untreated surfaces. tomorrow we have got rain in the south, a dry start further north. then rain comes in and that will push south eastwards, merge with this band and push north eastwards across scotland. in between, something brighter. still mild in the south. cooler in the north. still windy with gales around the coasts and hills. so the weather is messy. i can think of another word but iam not i am not going to use it. thank you. could we see a crackdown on parcel delivery firms? hundreds of you have been sharing your stories over the last couple of days. stories of delays and damage to parcels. now we've had an apology from evri, and a warning form the industry watchdog. nina has the details it has really gathered pace, hasn't it? because it is so frustrating when it goes wrong. it should be a simple

process and then you enter up spending time and money. yes, you told us, they listened. since yesterday's breakfast, we've been inundated with stories of bad service from evri. from parcels being delivered to the wrong place, to not showing up at all. and now, evri has apologised and acknowledged things weren't good enough. and it's been warned it'll face tougher regulations unless things get better. a reminder of what's been happening. on top of the usual december pressures, parcel firms say the royal mail strike added to the sheer volume of deliveries. thank you so much for getting in touch. we have let evri know about your stories. here are some of them. i'd sort of set my heart on these four presents. so i couldn't get them. in the end i had tojust give money vouchers. so, i don't know really that

i would want to use evri again, because i don't feel like i can actually rely on them. and certainly if a company was using evri now, i'd think twice before i would actually purchase anything from them. my frustration is because i aml a small business, we have lost customers obviously through it, i because they look at it personally, that it's actually our business, that are failing to _ provide their goods. and that's the most frustrating thing i find of all. _ i'm aware that my experience isn't the same as lots of other people, but our personal experience is that we have had great service from evri.

our delivery person has been consistent for at least the last couple of years. yvonne is always really friendly, smiley, but most importantly, always ensures that our parcels are delivered safely and securely. she perseveres to make sure that they get to us. i ordered a collectable item from the states in september. evri said they delivered it, but they'd actually dumped it outside on a communal doorstep near to a block of flats where i live. it took some time to wrench a refund, but i managed to find it again in the uk and this seller sent it to me again. and evri have lost it.

and i can't contact evri to find out where it is. it'sjust gone missing. you can feel the frustration. so what are your rights when things go wrong? helen dewdney is a consumer rights expert and joins me now. i want to start by saying we have had lots of messages this morning saying they built up a good relationship with their company mike driver compared to stories we heard there. why is there this variation? —— evri. a mixture of things. pressure on the system. that they can't recruit in some places, they can't recruit in some places, they can in others. it varies around the country as to what the problems are in equipment. it is country as to what the problems are in equipment-— in equipment. it is actually pot luck. if things _ in equipment. it is actually pot luck. if things go _ in equipment. it is actually pot luck. if things go wrong - in equipment. it is actually pot luck. if things go wrong and i in equipment. it is actually pot l luck. if things go wrong and they disappear, ultimately where this

responsibility lie? should we be chasing the delivery company or the retailer? it chasing the delivery company or the retailer? , . ._ , retailer? it is always with the retailer. so, _ retailer? it is always with the retailer. so, whoever- retailer? it is always with the retailer. so, whoever you i retailer? it is always with the i retailer. so, whoever you have paid the money too. so, if you have paid your money to company x and they have used the courier company, it is still them. whenever they say contact the courier, don't. your contract is with them. let them find the parcel or give you a refund. keep pushing with the retailer, however has taken your cash. what about sending parcels? we have heard from people that things have not arrived. what do you do if you can't get hold of them? it is arrived. what do you do if you can't get hold of them?— get hold of them? it is really difficult. you _ get hold of them? it is really difficult. you can _ get hold of them? it is really difficult. you can go - get hold of them? it is really difficult. you can go on i get hold of them? it is really difficult. you can go on their| difficult. you can go on their online chat. if you do, keep a record. take a screenshot so you can take it further if need be. go on the ceo e—mail website and get the ceo details. the ceo will not respond directly but if you have that written correspondence and something escalating, as you

possibly need to take out insurance if it is available for big items. it sounds like you have to be doubly vigilant if you are sending rather than receiving parcels? i vigilant if you are sending rather than receiving parcels?- vigilant if you are sending rather than receiving parcels? i think so. we are seeing _ than receiving parcels? i think so. we are seeing more _ than receiving parcels? i think so. we are seeing more problems i than receiving parcels? i think so. | we are seeing more problems with couriers. the other reason we are seeing more problems is because there is an increase in the use. it may still be the same percentage that have got it wrong, but there is more. . y ., that have got it wrong, but there is more. . i. ., ., that have got it wrong, but there is more. . ., , ., , more. can you ask to use a different delivery service? _ more. can you ask to use a different delivery service? you _ more. can you ask to use a different delivery service? you can _ more. can you ask to use a different delivery service? you can ask. it i more. can you ask to use a different delivery service? you can ask. it is l delivery service? you can ask. it is very unlikely _ delivery service? you can ask. it is very unlikely because _ delivery service? you can ask. it is very unlikely because the - delivery service? you can ask. it is very unlikely because the retailers| very unlikely because the retailers will have their contract with which other career they are using. so, it might be that if surgeon couriers companies don't get their act together, the retailer might change their courier company. egri together, the retailer might change their courier company.— their courier company. evri have said to us. _ their courier company. evri have said to us, things _ their courier company. evri have said to us, things went - their courier company. evri have said to us, things went wrong, l their courier company. evri have i said to us, things went wrong, we are sorry, 0fcom have said they could face tighter regulations if they don't pull their socks up. what would that look like? what would that mean for us? it

with evri. what have you heard? some of the stories are horrific. _ with evri. what have you heard? some of the stories are horrific. what - with evri. what have you heard? some of the stories are horrific. what we i of the stories are horrific. what we really need to remember is it is less of a problem for the drivers and far more of a problem for the company, because a lot of these drivers are not directly employed and they get paid per parcel, and many of them are probably working four hours into an eight hour working day and they have not earned a penny because they are stuck in car parks waiting for delivery vans to bring them their stock, they are having to pay their own storage facilities, then they are very often trying to deliver a badly wrapped and badly addressed parcels. so, you know, i don't want to demonise the drivers here. the company need to take responsibility. but also, there are retailers, small one—man band retailers, be an artisan craft, they are using this company. they are having to refund the purchase. so very often small businesses are going out of business because they can't afford to keep up with the problems caused by this company. so

evri need to take responsibility for the service they are allegedly meant to be providing. l the service they are allegedly meant to be providing-— to be providing. i believe you asked a auestion to be providing. i believe you asked a question about _ to be providing. i believe you asked a question about this _ to be providing. i believe you asked a question about this at _ to be providing. i believe you asked a question about this at the - a question about this at the business select committee. what response did you get? ihlot business select committee. what response did you get?— response did you get? not very ositive, response did you get? not very positive, which _ response did you get? not very positive, which was _ response did you get? not very positive, which was quite i positive, which was quite frustrating. i don't intend to leave it there, viz to. i will be using my platform to make sure we get some justice for not only people who are customers, but people who are working for this company, because they too have been demonised by a company that is unprofessional. lmilton company that is unprofessional. when ou look at company that is unprofessional. when you look at it — company that is unprofessional. when you look at it really _ company that is unprofessional. when you look at it really precisely, it is 0fcom responsible for the sector. does the fault lie there? is that where you may need to go rather than the government? the where you may need to go rather than the government?— the government? the problem at the moment is. — the government? the problem at the moment is. like _ the government? the problem at the moment is, like we _ the government? the problem at the moment is, like we have _ the government? the problem at the moment is, like we have just - the government? the problem at the moment is, like we have just heard, | moment is, like we have just heard, it is the seller that is responsible for the refund. if you are a big organisation you can potentially cover that cost a lot better than a small one—man band effectively having to provide the product or the money twice. there should be some kind of legislation which puts the

responsibility on the delivery company. if you charge someone for doing something, surely you need to comply with that. i think we need to be looking at the way the legislation is framed, so there is some responsibility on the company to take responsibility for what they are not doing. the to take responsibility for what they are not doing-— to take responsibility for what they are not doin.. _, , ., . are not doing. the 0fcom research we have seen suggests _ are not doing. the 0fcom research we have seen suggests it _ are not doing. the 0fcom research we have seen suggests it is _ are not doing. the 0fcom research we have seen suggests it is disabled i have seen suggests it is disabled people who are more affected by this situation than anybody else. how can that be taken into account? l’gre situation than anybody else. how can that be taken into account?— that be taken into account? i've not heard of that. _ that be taken into account? i've not heard of that, if _ that be taken into account? i've not heard of that, if i _ that be taken into account? i've not heard of that, if i am _ that be taken into account? i've not heard of that, if i am honest, i that be taken into account? i've not heard of that, if! am honest, so i. heard of that, if i am honest, so i wouldn't want to comment on that. that is not what i am hearing. i am hearing that it is right across the board, that nobody is more disadvantaged. haste board, that nobody is more disadvantaged.— board, that nobody is more disadvantaged. board, that nobody is more disadvantaaed. ~ ,, ., ., board, that nobody is more disadvantaaed. ~ ~' ., . disadvantaged. we know that evri has a olouised disadvantaged. we know that evri has apologised and _ disadvantaged. we know that evri has apologised and they _ disadvantaged. we know that evri has apologised and they are _ disadvantaged. we know that evri has apologised and they are doing - disadvantaged. we know that evri has apologised and they are doing their i apologised and they are doing their best to ensure these deliveries do happen. they say they deliver 3 million parcels a day at times. is there basically too much pressure on these companies at the moment? i am these companies at the moment? i am heafina these companies at the moment? i am hearing small — these companies at the moment? i —n hearing small stories about the

delivery companies, but predominantly it is evri a where the worst. it is ok for them to apologise, but maybe they need to start actually doing what they are meant to be doing and looking at how the business is structured and providing a more professional setup to ensure they do do what they promised. what would your advice be at this point, having looked at this issue in vast detail? what would your advice be to customers, constituents, thinking of using evri? i constituents, thinking of using evri? ~' ., . constituents, thinking of using evri? ~ ., ., ., ., , ., evri? i know a lot of people who have stopped — evri? i know a lot of people who have stopped buying _ evri? i know a lot of people who have stopped buying from i evri? i know a lot of people who l have stopped buying from people evri? i know a lot of people who - have stopped buying from people who are buying and selling using evri. other people have had a notification to say it is with evri, their heart sinks. i personally would be looking to not use a company using evri. that is not good for evri or the people working for evri, dependent on these persons for the poor wages they are getting to start with.

thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. today ambulance staff across london are taking part in their second day of strike action this winter. aongside paramedics, control room staff alongside paramedics, control room staff who take calls and assign crews are also walking out in a dispute over pay. londoners are being warned there will be fewer ambulances on the roads. what we would ask the public is what they did for us in december, in the last industrial action, is only phone us if they have a life and limb threatening emergency. because when that happened, call volumes went down by a third. if the public phone us only when they have a life—threatening, life or limb threatening emergency, then we are confident we can carry on providing a good standard of care. there are more homeless children in london than the rest of the country put together,

according to figures from the charity shelter. overall, there are 150,000 homeless people in london. almost half are children. the government says it has given councils £366 million this year to help provide temporary housing. over the next year the metropolitan police will use data to identify the most dangerous 100 predatory men in london. during a speech last night, the commissioner, sir mark rowley, outlined plans to use technology to help target resources. he also said the pay system needs reforming to attract people with a range of skills including more cyber experts. a soho strip club has been shut down for three months after several customers claim to have lost thousands of pounds after having their drinks spiked. the venue suggests the allegations come from men who don't want their partners to find out they've spent money on strippers. the club, vanity bar and nightclub, denies any wrongdoing.

now let's look at the tubes. there are minor delays on the bakerloo line and the 0verground is part suspended with severe delays. next the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. plenty more wet and windy weather to come in the forecast for much of the rest of the week across the capital with low pressure largely dominant. but for this morning, well, it's a dry and bright start to the day. temperatures generally between six and eight celsius. a lot of morning sunshine and a noticeable westerly wind. but things will steadily go downhill. there is a rash of showers out towards the west and through the afternoon, they are going to be sweeping their way eastwards. there will be some heavy downpours at times, especially towards the end of the day. and the winds will start to ramp up as well. so a brisk westerly wind blowing, top temperatures a little lower than they were yesterday, but still above the seasonal average. as we head through this evening and overnight, there will be some dry weather

around, but not for very long. our next system pushes its way in from the west and it will stay very windy as well. temperatures down to around six and 8 degrees celsius into thursday. on thursday we see outbreaks of rain going on and off throughout the day. always plenty of cloud but it stays windy but it should be drier and brighter on friday. that's it. there's plenty more on our instagram though including a video of the moment a meteor lit up the sky over london on monday evening. i'll see you soon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. back to our main story and as we've been hearing, more than 20,000 ambulance workers will be striking across england and wales today, in an ongoing pay dispute. paramedics, ambulance technicians, and control room staff will be among those on the picket lines. zoe conway has been to meet some of them, who've told her about the physical and emotional pressure they work under day to day.

emergency ambulance, is the patient breathing? this is what a relatively good day looks like at the london ambulance call centre. the wait time is approximately 18 to 20 minutes. they're meeting their response time targets, 18 to 20 minutes for people with serious conditions who are not at immediate risk of dying. but it's stressful work. there are patients who are nervous. gather any medications and unlock the door. anything changes, please call us back immediately. relatives who are frightened. i understand you're distressed. some call handlers at this service are walking out today. they're demanding better pay. ambulance emergency centre call takers are paid between just over £20,000 and just over £21,000. call handlers talk about the emotional toll it takes to do theirjob. simone has been a call takerfor 15 years. when we got our first call and when a patient�*s

maybe got chest pains, or level of consciousness is low, and then we get a second call 20 minutes later and the patient has stopped breathing, that's really upsetting. we take these kind of calls home. it's not easy on our mental health and we're upset and hurt for the patient and their families. when an ambulance is dispatched, a paramedic will be on board. a newly qualified paramedic could earn anything from £27,000 to nearly £33,000. but most paramedics are on a higher salary of more than £1i0,000. david says he became a paramedic in 1989 so that he could look after people. but every day, he says, it gets harder to do so. a hundred ambulances out per day, and on average per day there's roughly between 20 to a0 ambulances stuck at the a&e department per day. so that has a significant impact on your resources you've already put out there.

david believes that patients are dying unnecessarily. patients' safety is at huge risk, huge risk. you know, i never thought that... from time to time i've had patients that have actually died on the ambulance. but that's because of the nature of their illness or the seriousness of the road accident, for example. but i've never experienced where patients have to wait outside in an a&e department, a definitive care where you expect to be in and treated for the appropriate condition, dying in the ambulance. it's soul destroying. paramedics aren't the only people who respond to calls. there are also ambulance technicians. they're not as qualified as paramedics, but they can give emergency care. their starting salary is nearly £24,000, but with experience, they could earn nearly £33,000. ambulance workers talk about being constantly on the go. it means there's no time to stop and recover from those harrowing moments.

shaun will never forget the day a baby went into cardiac arrest. everyone at the service did their best, he says. but the child died. what broke me, and what wakes me up now to this day, is the noise that mum made when baby was declared dead. and it's those sorts of things, those sorts of parts of the job that people don't see. so i delivered baby to resus, the consultants and everybody were working on it. i was cleaning up my trolley and as i'm walking out, i heard her scream, and that scream, being a dad, i knew exactly what that was. so it's these pressures that are out there that stay with you. that don't go away, don't leave you. but that's why we do the job. we do the job to do what we can for people. ambulance workers taking part in this strike say that this dispute is about so much more than pay.

they also want people to know of the pressure they're under, of the days when they feel they failed the public they so desperately want to serve. zoe conway, bbc news. our wales correspondent tomos morgan is on a picket line in newport. there were some really tough stories to listen to them. tomos, explain what impact today's strikes will have across wales.— what impact today's strikes will have across wales. yes, it is to the gmb union — have across wales. yes, it is to the gmb union members _ have across wales. yes, it is to the gmb union members who - have across wales. yes, it is to the gmb union members who are - have across wales. yes, it is to the l gmb union members who are striking today, they make up around a quarter of the workforce here. a 24—hour strike started at midnight and it will run through until 24—hour data at midnight, they have been out here 6am in newport, the fire is trying to keep us warm but they have braved all of the elements, we have had rain and hail. some of the guys on the picket line have been already

called into action, there is a provision that if the radicals come in, for a real threat to life, people will leave the picket life. —— the red calls. that happened a few moments ago. this feels like it was before christmas, it is not really moved on here. it is the same reason they are striking, the same union, another union is striking in a week, nothing has shifted other than an announcement on monday by mark drakeford the first minister who said that he is putting a plan in place to hopefully about further strike action and that would be possibly a one—off payment. let's have a chat with a gmb rep here, what do you make of that announcement from mark drakeford and would that be enough for you? we welcome the announcement from mark drakeford _ welcome the announcement from mark drakeford but obviously the proof of the pleating is in the eating —— proof— the pleating is in the eating —— proof of— the pleating is in the eating —— proof of the pudding is in the eating. —
