continues in the eastern town of soledar, despite russia's claims to have captured it. aston villa push leeds closer to trouble. it took them just three minutes to breach the yorkshire side's defence in the win. that could mean leeds are in the relegation zone by this evening. plus, there is risk of some more flooding around today after a fairly wet night. this morning, it will ease the many, looking a bit lighter into the afternoon but tomorrow, set the tone colder stop all the details here on first. —— all the details here on first. —— all the details here on first. —— all the details here on breakfast. it's saturday 1a january. our top story. some single—use plastics will be banned in england from october. takeaways, restaurants, and cafes will have to stop using plastic cutlery, plates, and bowls as part of a new plan by the government to tackle plastic pollution. sean dilley reports. quick, convenient and no washing up from october, the government says it plans to ban restaurants and fees in

similar measures last month, those come into effect later this year in scotland introduced a similar band lastjune. takeaway owners are concerned that new rules could add to their costs when bills are already high. campaigners welcome any move that produces our carbon foot rent and reduces harmful greenhouse gases but for some, the government's plans don't go far enough. we government's plans don't go far enou:h. ~ 4, government's plans don't go far enou~h.~ . , government's plans don't go far enou.h,. ., , ., , ., government's plans don't go far enothl. ., , ., , ., government's plans don't go far enouh. ., ., , ., ,, enough. we are second only to the us and how much — enough. we are second only to the us and how much plastic _ enough. we are second only to the us and how much plastic waste _ enough. we are second only to the us and how much plastic waste is - and how much plastic waste is produced per person stop that means we are second—biggest producers of plastic waste in the world so we really need transformative change to happen, we need the government to be showing real ambition and taking the lead. we are actually looking for a 50% reduction in single—use packaging which would lead to the kind of change we need to see. the ro osed kind of change we need to see. the proposed ban in england only applies to cafe 's and restaurants and not to cafe 's and restaurants and not to single—use plastic packaging for food and drinks sold in supermarkets. the government says it's working on separate plans for

these retailers to cover disposal costs from 2024. sean dilley, bbc news. the british—iranian man, alireza akbari, who was sentenced to death in iran, has been executed, according to iranian state media. mr akbari's family had been asked to go to his prison for a final visit on wednesday, and his wife said he had been moved to solitary confinement. the ex—deputy iranian defence minister was arrested in 2019 and convicted of spying for the uk, which he denied. the uk had urged iran to halt the execution and immediately release him. labour is calling on ministers to ban the forced installation of prepayment meters on financially stretched households until the spring. the intervention comes after citizens advice warned more than 3 million people across britain ran out of credit on their prepayment meter last year, because they could not afford to top up. marta newman reports. hundreds of thousands of households

are bound themselves forcibly switched over to more costly prepayment gas and electricity metres after falling behind with their energy bills. and this is something labour wants to see temporarily banned. in a letter to the business secretary grant sharps, the business secretary grant sharps, the shadow climate secretary ed miliband says he wants the band to last at least three months to help those struggling to pay their bills, stay warm during the colder months. labour is also calling for an urgent review into how energy vulnerability can be reduced. it also wants to put an end to the unfair penalty on prepayment metre customers by committing to additional support for them. the former labour leader in a separate statement labelled the forced installation of repayment metres as shameful, saying millions of families are facing disconnection by the according to citizens advice,

an estimated 600,000 people were forced to make the switch after getting into debt with their energy supplier last year. compared with 380,000 in 2021. the government says it expects energy suppliers to do all they can to help customers were struggling to pay their bills and suppliers can only install prepayment metres without consent to recover debt as a last resort. marta newman, bbc news. rishi sunak has been accused of demonising ambulance workers by one of the unions that represents them. in a letter to the prime minister, the gmb union said paramedics, call handlers and emergency care assistants felt 'utterly betrayed' by attempts to paint them as uncaring as they strike over pay and conditions. downing street said it greatly valued ambulance workers. a 46—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of the murder of natalie mcnally in county armagh has been released on bail. natalie was 32, and was 15 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed on the 18th of december at her home in silverwood green in lurgan. put that in

russia claims to have captured the town of soledar in ukraine after months of intense fighting. it's the first town russian forces claim to have captured sincejuly, after six months of military setbacks. but ukrainian officials say the fight is still ongoing. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. a salt mining town under russian assault, soledar has become a story of carnage and contradiction. after months of bloody fighting, an attempt by russia to give a clear message. for the first time, a claim to be in complete control, and that this town is the start of something bigger. "the capture of soledar became possible due to the constant "destruction of the enemy," says russia's defence ministry. "by ground attack, aircraft, missiles and artillery." but ukraine is saying, "fighting continues in soledar.

"our troops are holding defence against the enemy." ukraine has resisted russia's attack here for months. the price is getting heavier. translation: we will never give up. this is our soledar, our city, and we will not give it to anyone. ukraine is ours. as soon as we see the russian soldiers, we will hit them. the kremlin has not had anything to cheer about for the last six months since it last captured a major location. soledar would change that, but it's also why kyiv is hinting at a possible retreat, it's because the last time a city fell, russia made minimal gains and ukraine retook swathes of territory elsewhere. it's also why soledar is unlikely to alter the course of this war. we were in the nearby city of bakhmut last weekend, an urban battlefield that could not have felt further from the politics of control.

ukraine is trying to portray its own momentum. translation: the aggressor must be defeated on the ukrainian land - where he came, so that it won't be necessary to fight on the lands of other european nations later. we need to do it now so that russia does not get a break, does not have time to adapt and restore its strength. this year is crucial. more western weapons are on their way to ukraine. the fear is, without them, russia's advance might not stop at soledar. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. a gas pipeline in lithuania has been hit by a large explosion. video of the blast, which happened near the country's border with latvia, show large flames near the pipeline, but officials say no injuries were caused by the explosion. the pipeline's operator said it did not believe the blast was suspicious, though latvia's defence minister said sabotage could not be ruled out.

lisa marie presley will be buried near her father and late son at the family's tennessee estate, graceland, according to a family representative. the 54—year old singer, died on thursday after reportedly suffering cardiac arrest in her home. she was the only child of elvis presley. now here's matt with a look at the weather. good morning, matt. we were talking a lot yesterday about those flood warnings and i know there is a big change coming later in the week but i think you're going to focus on the next 48 hours, see what is happening? i'll give you a heads up at a risk of flooding through today. a fairly wet night, 1— two inches of rain across the western parts of england and wales, but also the wind increasing through the day, many actually turning it right. are getting better kind of saturday for

the vast majority but before we move on, just a reminder there are flood warnings still in place, 90 of the moment. they have dropped since yesterday. they will rise up a little bit of those river starts to respond to today's rain. it's coming from this area of cloud, the skies starting to come in, delayed a little bit towards the south and east but overnight, just about all of us have seen the rain, look at extensive stop through the scottish mountains. the overnight rain clearing from northern ireland, for a while before the showers get going. rain easing through the morning of north—west england and wales, south—west scotland, shall see later. the rain will linger right through to parts of the afternoon for parts of the channel islands and the far south—eastern east anglia but we should finish the day with some clear skies and late glimpse sunshine perhaps. temperatures probably at moment across the uk. it will drop this afternoon, around 4— 10 degrees.

showers across scotland turning increasingly wintry over the hills. a shift to northerly winds tonight across scotland which will bring colder air, the greater chance of sleet or snow, even to the hills of northern england and north wales by the end of the night. the risk of ice as well as temperatures drop close to freezing of not below, the colder night across this out but here are frost free. as we going to sunday and beyond, the blue colours here, an indication of the chilly air, going to be coming increasingly from the arctic, not quite so much on sunday across them southern areas, still westerly wind with a scattering of showers around. prior to conditions across parts of northern england, scotland and northern ireland. here we will see a few showers turning increasingly low across scotland. temperatures down even a little bit on today's alleys. as we go through to sunday evening and sunday night, this is where we will start to see the wintry weather across northern ireland, even a cover covering of snow in places. ice will be a risk as we go into

monday morning and temperatures low, two —8. from sunday onwards, it turns much colder, the risk of frost and ice for a time and yes, snow, just about anywhere could see a little bit of snow, not huge amounts. many will still completely but next week, looking pretty chilly later in the week, temperatures should rise again as rain returns. the government will publish new guidance for the housing sector this summer, following a rapid review ordered into the health impacts of damp and mould in homes. it comes after a coroner's report into the death of 2—year—old awaab ishak, who passed away in 2020 from a respiratory condition caused by exposure to mould, called for action to prevent further fatalities. there are concerns that many children are still living in similar conditions to awaab. emma glasbey has this report from leeds.

living in it a lot, i don't even have space to study for schools. personally i feel embarrassed to ask my friends to come around because if they see the state i am living and it is not great compared to what they are living in. they don't have enough space but the fact of the mould and the damp is another concern. do you worry about your family's hell? really, really a lot. it has clearly affected me, my dad amasses me because we've all developed asthma after a while but my dad had severe asthma which would cause breathing problems and he couldn't sleep well at night. we have seen several letters that the leeds city council showing support for them to move, and leads gp wrote about his concerns that damp is affecting one of the girls. in october 2020... the school wrote

a letter saying... march 2021: iam very i am very worried, i am very, very worried. the council is making for me big headache. i am always thinking about my child, my family, but i don't have an option. what i do? idris has a job but he says he can't afford a deposit to rent privately. his family has lived here since 2014 but the council has now decided to demolish these towers to create space for more modern housing and says tenants will be rehoused over the next two years. they told us work will begin next

week in this family's flat to treat the mould. the mould may be tackled by their parents say this is not how their children should be going up. emma glasbey, bbc news, leeds. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the daily telegraph leads with more comments from prince harry, who has given the paper an interview to promote his new book. the prince reportedly claimed, "there's enough for another book," and said he held back some disclosures because the king and prince william would not ever forgive him if he made them public. "we need to train more doctors," is the times headline. the paper has been speaking to the chief executive of nhs england, amanda pritchard, who claims the uk is over—reliant on foreign staff. the sun reports that noel gallagher is divorcing his wife sara after 22—years together, and speculates that the split could lead to an oasis reunion.

and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website is about a british amateur photographer who called for help to get a packed beach in australia evacuated, after spotting a shark on his drone camera. this is the image. he alerted everyone and got people out of the water. and... i am water. and... iam not water. and... i am not going to make to acl but... good morning, mike! good that you brought him in at that point. interesting that you decided to pick up interesting that you decided to pick up on that. what is the story? mr blubby, fat and famous. have you seen this? there is mr blubby and a reservoir that has been eating all of the stocks of the fish in this fishery. it is the marks all fishery nsx. so

the seal as sunbathing on the island, it is basically a massive parfait for the seal but now... it has eaten about £3000 worth of fish, so the story has been spoken about this week but what the times is focusing on is the seal�*s weight and surprisingly it has doubled in size from... laughs. yes, doubled in size after eating 3000 lbs office. they still can't capture the seal. and they need to get him out because otherwise he will get to haiti. a time for feasting is over and he needs to do like the rest of us and get fed. they went down there and had a bucketful of fees to tempt him and he literallyjust came up with a fish and its map and was like, no matter, i'm sorted, i have better fish to eat.

header should count. patrick bamford finally got leeds a goal, they'd been chasing all game, but villa's defence held firm, and the villa boss was cockahoop with delight, in contrast with his opposite number, jessie, who's side could be in the relegation zone by this evening. at lunchtime, manchester united have the chance to gain valuable ground on rivals manchester city who, themselves, are hoping to close the gap at the top. city will be hoping to bounce back from their midweek defeat against southampton. united are inform winning the last six in all competitions. 0f of course we noticed they had a setback. and of course i have seen the past weeks, many games of them. we need to look at ourselves, we need to play our best game. it is

it needs to be tackled so a ban on some single—use plastics will come into place in england in october. john maguire has been looking at its impact. plastic everywhere, rubbish everywhere. look at it. as the tide rise and fall part of its banks are littered with plastic. once thought of as the miracle of material when it is used once and then thrown away irresponsibly it is a menace. alberto polystyrene food packaging. alberto polystyrene food packaging. a burger. this would have been a takeaway somewhere in bristol so it is unlike you are at home and you could use to put it in the bin. these types of plastics at best will be shoved into a ban on the street, often they are overflowing but it was they will be thrown out of a car window or dropped on the street from the first bit of rain you get they will get washed into the waterways and they end up here on the river banks causing huge damage to the ecosystems. from october, england will follow scotland and wales and the banning certain types of single—use plastic.

particularly the cutlery and containers used for takeaway. the government says it is part of a range of skins to eradicate this type of the tattoo stop adaptor source. we are tackling the things that are a problem so this comes on the back of us already having banned cotton buds and that is already... and straws, that has already made an enormous difference, they have dropped out of the most commonly littered items found on beaches because we brought that ban in and we will certainly look at other items for example wet wipes and for example cigarette filters and so forth. they are all coming onto the horizon. but these bottles and supermarket food tubs aren't included, they will come under a different scheme to make producers responsible for the recycling. do you want a fork? recycling. do ou want a fork? �* . recycling. do ou want a fork? �* , , do you want a fork? at this fish sho- in do you want a fork? at this fish shop in bristol— do you want a fork? at this fish shop in bristol they _ do you want a fork? at this fish shop in bristol they pride - shop in bristol they pride themselves not only on their card, chips and mushy peas but also on what are served in.

by what are served in. by best of my knowledge that is a byproduct of the sugar cane industry and it is a compostable product. but at the moment you are doing your mushy peas and job curry sauce and your gravy is still in... someone polystyrene, we are making a move. doing a lot more internet orders, we are moving into the switch is a recyclable, reusable plastic tub. we like to do do the right thing if we can, but we are also aware that a lot of our customers, they like to try and do the right thing if they can, and if you can help them better than they are more comfortable, certainly with you know? because it is the environment, isn't it? and that is important. the ban is nine months away to allow businesses to use up their stocks and adapt to the changes but those packaging costs three times what polystyrene would, so either business owners and/or customers will pay more. businesses are going to find it difficult to do because of the

wellness. small businesses are ahead of the game, they have been doing this for a long time but this will come with cost and the cost comes challenge. the decades, scientists have been working to find sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. in love they believe the answer comes from beneath the ground but in the ocean. this obviously looks and smells like seaweed? seaweed farms. they don't need land or fertiliser and are highly effective in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. where the plastic we have created a whole series of legacy problems. it is crazy that we are taking oil from the ground to turn it into packaging that has a use case of perhaps one hour or even a week in our supermarkets, and at the packaging could last for up to 1000 years. washing around in the rivers and out to sea. this material is designed for a sustainable planet where we aren't only helping the planet by growing the cv but then turning it into packaging that would cause a

problem for our children. none of this is a quick fix but as technology and production improve, costs will come down and habits have been changing for years. where once plastic was fantastic, increasingly it is becoming historic. john maguire, bbc news, bristol. you may have the ultimate this morning, we'll talk about it throughout the morning. if you have examples, if you have thoughts, let us know this morning. let's tell you about an artist from derbyshire who has created a model of the lake district using run 200,000 pieces of lego. he spent money on the model and has been telling us how he came up with the idea. , .,, the idea. some people call it madness — the idea. some people call it madness l _ the idea. some people call it madness. ijust call- the idea. some people call it madness. i just call it - the idea. some people call it madness. ijust call it a - the idea. some people call it madness. ijust call it a bit i the idea. some people call it| madness. ijust call it a bit of fun. around 2000 bricks. isuppose

away. in fact, we can do bit away so we will have to get this work done. we have to make sure it's right for the first game. what we can't afford to do is start the season really slow and start with a defeat, draw. we need to get three points on the board straightaway. chloe, if you are heading into goal, into the box. the first game of the season is always dead important, it shows the opposition how well you have improved and it's so important to get the three points, because if you don't, you are always on the back foot for the rest of the season. when i was their rage, it was still more about form. the coaches were never really demanding of the players were as i'm quite demanding and these girls have got big dreams because they got more opportunities now when it comes to training. i think there's quite a few of them who could go on and play professionally. myjob as a coach is to get the very best out of them. good one, chloe, good information

advertising classes. these were all tournament day 5hots. there is advertising classes. these were all tournament day 5hots. there i5jill scott, 2004. the girls who played for boldon, that would bejill, demi stokes and steph wharton. jill was about nine years old, she was great from the start. we always kept in touch. she became part of our family. i was proud for an england team to win a big tournament, it's what every footballer wants. i think in the early days, we give the young girls the opportunity to play, the opportunity to be competitive.

so this is where the old youth centre used to be and this is where the girls first started playing. we're just going to do one more the girls. using both feet. ishould we're just going to do one more the girls. using both feet. i should do football with the kids in the club. two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. at the time there was no division for girls all, as there was no league. the faa didn't need to provide anything. the problem was boys wouldn't let them play, the attitude was the girls can't play football. girls, in here! you can't

go in the cycle whether cones are. i would see the early 905 it started taking off because it was set up on the back of the boys league so originally it was the boy '5 own league but with a girls section. and that was it. off you go. 4— bit space. well done, daisy. you're going to run in, anybody, change direction. as the leaks developed,, got more and more different age groups. ijust wanted the girls to play football. keep your ball, maisie, keep your ball. and to stop. obviously doing it for the young people but there is the social side of it as well, parents with family members. one big family.

of my football career. i think one of my football career. i think one of the main differences is that i can see more than one coach for the whole session. i think itjust used to be paul on his own, bless him, but obviously the detail that the girls go nowadays, the coaches are a lot more advance. we're just sort of thrown together and playing football like we were in the back lanes. it is crazy when i come back, obviously since playing for england you are recognised a little bit more and it is still a weird feeling because i'm still kind ofjust these girls but i've just boranup really, just not the game of football. highly, girls. ——it is always lovely to be back. do you want to pass it around? if i can't get any work i think i can

into that, and it was through that i got myself to that level so i definitely have doubts, it is like when people say do you no visible games? i was still nervous at 31, 32, 33. at the final of wembley i was on the bench and i was so nervous! those things never go away. they are normal, really. ithink those things never go away. they are normal, really. i think of like the next level, what healing did that have on you? that whole tournament, i think i knew deep down it would be my last one so i think i kind of utilised every single moment, so the old trafford game, walking out in front of 70,000 people i was just taken aback by the amount of support. if i could just put that feeling and a bottle and carry it around, yeah, it's incredible, i think it will be the best day of my eye, i can't see anything else, but would definitely top that. i've just do you keep working hard, he publicly ——in helping each other as

girls play football and we can do this together! i think i got my role models were always david beckham, stephenjerrara, male models were always david beckham, stephen jerrara, male footballers because that is what i saw on tv but it is great now that the women's game, obviously it is more visible, it's more accessible. hopefully by winning this gold medal it will give girls a bit of bragging rights. if the boys though, girls come level ball back and say, well, there was the gamma wembley this year that was pretty good... it is good to reflect and say, look at how far we've come. obviously the structure now of the wsl, games being on tv, it is so much more visible but i think there is a whole other level that we can unlock. there is the under 15 steam. there

is the boldon and also the boldon all—stars which i play for. i met you through primary and you through football. i feel like i met you through primary and you through football. ifeel like i trust you the same, like i have the same bond with you. my whole life has revolved around football. my has revolved around football. my whole life! i would say they are my best friends, i have known leah for 14 years now, i met her in primary and i have known kyah... we have been really close in. 50 odd year ago, women are won't allow to play football entirely and i think there are like 50,000 people watching it at wembley that. element

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: a ban on some single—use plastics will come into force in october — the latest move to tackle plastic pollution in england. these types of plastics, at best, will be shoved into a bin on the street, often they are overflowing but worse, they can be chucked out a car window or dropped on the street. labourjoins calls for the forced installation of prepaid energy meters to be stopped until at least the spring, as thousands struggle to pay their bills. ukraine's president zelenskyy says that fighting continues in the eastern town of soledar, despite russian claims to have captured it.

the gp surgeries struggling to recruit new receptionists, because of a rise in verbal abuse from patients. our reception team are taking quite a lot of abuse from phone calls, lots of bad language unfortunately, lots of bad language unfortunately, lots of bad language unfortunately, lots of blame put on them. keeping up with the neighbours in the most important one in manchester, derby for years. the most important one in manchester, derby foryears. city and second can't afford another defeat this week.— and second can't afford another defeat this week. plus there is risk of more flooding _ defeat this week. plus there is risk of more flooding around _ defeat this week. plus there is risk of more flooding around today i defeat this week. plus there is risk| of more flooding around today after a thoroughly wet night. this morning, the rain belize for many, brighter through the afternoon but into tomorrow, set the colder. all the details here on breakfast. it's saturday 14 january. our top story. some single—use plastics will be banned in england from october. takeaways, restaurants, and cafes will have to stop using plastic cutlery, plates, and bowls as part of a new plan by the government to

tackle plastic pollution. sean dilley reports. quick, convenient and no washing up. from october, the government says it plans to ban restaurants and cafes in england using some single use plastics and polystyrenes. we've got a whole raft of measures on waste, trying to reduce waste in this country and this new ban that we are announcing today is just one of a whole raft of measures to really tackle this issue. ministers are planning to ban single—use plastic trays, cutlery, bowls, balloon sticks and some polystyrene cups and food containers as part of england's 25—year environment plan to eliminate avoidable plastic waste by 2042. in 2020, single—use plastic straws, cotton buds and stirrers were banned for sale and distribution. it is estimated england uses 2.7 billion items of single—use cutlery each year and the majority are plastic. in 2020, plastic cutlery

made it to the top 15 most littered items. england, though, is playing catch—up with other uk nations. wales approved similar measures last month — those come into effect later this year — and scotland introduced a similar ban lastjune. takeaway owners are concerned that new rules could add to their costs when bills are already high. campaigners welcome any move that reduces our carbon footprint and reduces harmful greenhouse gases but for some, the government's plans don't go far enough. i'm so like we are second only to the us in how much plastic waste is produced per person. that means we are second—biggest producers of plastic waste in the world so we really need transformative change to happen, we need the government to be showing real ambition and taking the lead. we are actually looking for a 50% reduction in single—use packaging which would lead to the kind of change we need to see. the proposed ban in england only applies

to cafes and restaurants and not to single—use plastic packaging for food and drinks sold in supermarkets. the government says it's working on separate plans for these retailers to cover disposal costs from 2024. sean dilley, bbc news. the british—iranian man alirayza akbari, who was sentenced to death in iran, has been executed, according to iranian state media. mr akbari — who was a former defence minister in iran — was detained three years ago and charged with spying for britain, which he denied. the uk government yesterday urged iran to halt the execution and release him immediately. labour is calling on ministers to ban the forced installation of prepayment meters on financially stretched households until the spring. the intervention comes after citizens advice warned more than three million people across britain ran out of credit on their prepayment meter last year, because they could not afford to top up. marta newman reports.

hundreds of thousands of households have found themselves forcibly switched over to more costly prepayment gas and electricity metres after falling behind with their energy bills, and this is something labour wants to see temporarily banned. in a letter to the business secretary grant shapps the shadow climate secretary, ed miliband, says he wants the ban to last at least three months to help those struggling to pay their bills stay warm during the colder months. labour is also calling for an urgent review into how energy vulnerability can be reduced. it also wants to put an end to the unfair penalty on prepayment meter customers by committing to additional support for them. the former labour leader, in a separate statement, labelled the forced installation of repayment meters as shameful, saying millions of families are facing disconnection.

according to citizens advice, an estimated 600,000 people were forced to make the switch after getting into debt with their energy supplier last year compared with 380,000 in 2021. the government says it expects energy suppliers to do all they can to help customers who are struggling to pay their bills and suppliers can only install prepayment meters without consent to recover debt as a last resort. marta newman, bbc news. let's now speak to our political correspondant david wallace lockhart. we've been talking a lot about prepayment metres, viewers are getting back to us about their issues. back in spotlight, what can be done about this? this issues. back in spotlight, what can be done about this?— be done about this? this is labour once again — be done about this? this is labour once again today _ be done about this? this is labour once again today focusing - be done about this? this is labour once again today focusing on i be done about this? this is labour once again today focusing on the l once again today focusing on the cost of living, on energy bills, two issues that i really affecting a huge amount of people at the moment

and those on prepayment metres are topping up in advance of using energy, the argument for them is they can help with budgeting but of course, if people run out of credit, can't afford to top up, they can't heat their homes. they can't eat and obviously at a point where all our energy bills are so higher, that's a particular problem at the moment. as we heard there, citizens advice saying 3 million people running out of credit last year, but not necessarily all of them being forced onto prepayment metres. it is also more expensive option when it comes to each unit of electricity. so we are seeing here, labour's shadow climate secretary ed miliband writing to the energy secretary grant shapps saying that over this winter. this be no forced installation of prepaid metres, they cause misery and another labour policy is that people on prepaid

metres should be paying the same as those on direct debits. we've heard from the uk government, they are pointing out they have put billions of pounds of support over this winter. into helping everyone with their energy bills, with a particular focus on extra payments for vulnerable households. the uk government spokesperson said suppliers should only be installing prepaid metres as an absolute last resort if they don't have the consent of the person getting them to deal with recovering debt and there should be options that are gone through from energy supplies before that happens, including potentially supporting people with emergency credit.— potentially supporting people with emergency credit. david, thank you very much- — emergency credit. david, thank you very much- in _ emergency credit. david, thank you very much. in about _ emergency credit. david, thank you very much. in about 20 _ emergency credit. david, thank you very much. in about 20 minutes, i emergency credit. david, thank you | very much. in about 20 minutes, we will talk to ed miliband about prepayment metres and the new law on single use plastics. rishi sunak has been accused of demonising ambulance workers by one of the unions

that represents them. in a letter to the prime minister, the gmb union said paramedics, call handlers and emergency care assistants felt utterly betrayed by attempts to paint them as uncaring, as they strike over pay and conditions. downing street said it greatly valued ambulance workers. a 46—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of the murder of natalie mcnally in county armagh has been released on bail. natalie was 32, and was 15 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed on the 18th of december at her home in silverwood green in lurgan. russia claims to have captured the town of soledar in ukraine after months of intense fighting. it's the first town russian forces claim to have captured sincejuly, after six months of military setbacks. but ukrainian officials say the fight is still ongoing. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. a salt mining town under russian assault, soledar has become a story of carnage and contradiction. after months of bloody fighting,

an attempt by russia to give a clear message. for the first time, a claim to be in complete control, and that this town is the start of something bigger. "the capture of soledar became possible due to the constant "destruction of the enemy," says russia's defence ministry. "by ground attack, aircraft, missiles and artillery." but ukraine is saying, "fighting continues in soledar. "our troops are holding defence against the enemy." ukraine has resisted russia's attack here for months. the price is getting heavier. translation: we will never give up. this is our soledar, our city, and we will not give it to anyone. ukraine is ours. as soon as we see the russian soldiers, we will hit them. the kremlin has not had anything to cheer about for the last six months since it last captured a major location.

soledar would change that, but it's also why kyiv is hinting at a possible retreat, it's because the last time a city fell, russia made minimal gains and ukraine retook swathes of territory elsewhere. it's also why soledar is unlikely to alter the course of this war. we were in the nearby city of bakhmut last weekend, an urban battlefield that could not have felt further from the politics of control. ukraine is trying to portray its own momentum. translation: the aggressor must be defeated on the ukrainian land - where he came, so that it won't be necessary to fight on the lands of other european nations later. we need to do it now so that russia does not get a break,

does not have time to adapt and restore its strength. this year is crucial. more western weapons are on their way to ukraine. the fear is, without them, russia's advance might not stop at soledar. more than 500 ufos have been reportedly been spotted by us troops. a new declassified us government document shows that the us national intelligence agency is now aware of 510 reported sightings — nearly half of the new sightings were deemed unremarkable — but more than 100 of them remain unexplained. sings 'twilight�* zone sings 'twilight' zone theme. sings 'twilight�* zone theme. only a certain amount of people would get that, wouldn't they? did you get that, wouldn't they? did you get that, matt? yes. he is of that generation. hundreds are still not explained. you can explain the weather, i'm sure. i got some lovely

space imagery coming for you later. i will explain about the weather, good morning. another great start if you're about to draw the curtains open we have done so, it's thoroughly wet out there for the vast majority. quite windy in places through the day. it's not going to be raining all day long for the vast majority, we will see a bit of sunshine but of course, after a night in which we've seen up to 50 millimetres of rain, two inches and some hills in western england and wales, flood warnings are going to be an issue, and certainly is you are. and you can see are extensive that rain was, a bit slow over scottish mountains but the back edge is there in the rains are starting to turn a bit hit and miss, we see some sunshine developing that further showers to come throughout the day but slowly brightening up in

the day but slowly brightening up in the south—western midlands from lunch. east anglia and the south—eastern towards the channel islands towards the end of the afternoon, pushing into orkney so eastern scotland will brighten up this afternoon, compared with this morning, lots of showers to the west. the cold air starting to edge towards the day, and are quite chilly night tonight, and with the air getting colder and northerly wind developing, rain will turn increasingly to sleet and snow over lower levels. across the hills of north wales and northern england later in the night. there's guys developing in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. a touch of frost and some ice but certainly a colder night than the nightjust gone and indeed colder into the start of next week, good colours indicating we got air coming all the way down from the arctic, weather fronts affecting us recently, starting to push a bit further southwards and westwards. here is how we go, showery rain and

a bit of hill sleet pushing across england and wales, many places having a dry by today particularly through england, scotland and northern ireland where we see flurries in the north, containing sleet and snow, a chillier day on sunday. you could be lying slower because northern ireland and into morning. temperatures down to around one is degrees as we start the week. into next week, it will be colder than we're used to so far this year. frost by now, icy conditions well. there is a chance of snow. not everywhere but you can see from the capital city forecasts, temperatures intimate single figures. little changes later in the wee, mild outrage to push back in but where that will come rain. back to you. doctors say they are struggling to recruit gp receptionists because of a rise in abuse. the shortage has forced the closure

of one surgery in york, and another in the city is having to reduce its opening hours. the haxby group says abusive patients are contributing to the staff shortages. olivia richwald reports. they are at the very front of the nhs frontline. doctors, receptionists deal with people when they are sick, anxious and frustrated, and as pressure mounts on health services they are increasingly becoming the target for abuse. i have had receptionists in tears because of verbal abuse they have received by — from patients. i understand that, i understand the public are frustrated, it is really difficult, we see long waiting in general practice but i'm not sure if there's any circumstances where i could condone being to receptionists. it is top at the moment, really tough. — it is top at the moment, really tough, and we aren't immune to it. professor—

tough, and we aren't immune to it. professor mike holmes—mac at a public meeting in the village of bob fulton in your, there was standing room only at about 250 patients came to the meeting with those running the local gp surgery. it is open nowjust for two hours a day are many patients say they struggled to get help with long waits to see doctors, and difficulty getting through to the surgery. others said they have been told to call one—on—one instead. the surgeries is the problem is lack of receptionist. the haxby group runs six gp services in york and across the group they have just half of the receptionists and patient services and staff that they need. it means that there are nine vacancies, and as a direct result of this surgery closed temporarily last year and is not reopened. those in the area were told of the huge pressure the surgery was under your butt reassured it wasn't going to close.

strep, flu, covid, nora virus, normal winter bugs and other chronic health diseases we are managing at the moment. the first thought of courses the receptionist because thatis courses the receptionist because that is why people are trying to get through on the phone, i understand, we get a lot of patience. i am a patient. i tried to a appointment recently and there are staff on the other end of the fund that then have to almost triage that phone call to say, all right, maybe the gp is on the right person for you and you need to signpost the person back to other allied health professionals within the gigabits setting or other wider community healthcare setting wider community healthca re setting so wider community healthcare setting so they could refer you to a clinical pharmacist for example but frustrations are now higher, people are frustrated and immense when they are frustrated and immense when they are scared and afraid it means unfortunately anger is the way that it is expressed in reception staff are getting the brunt of it. ibthd it is expressed in reception staff are getting the brunt of it. and a lot of people _ are getting the brunt of it. and a lot of people understand - are getting the brunt of it. and a lot of people understand the i lot of people understand the frustration thing, and as you describe, people will have been through the process but i'm interested in how this plays out in

practice, i'm not sure whether it has happened to your practice, or stories you have heard, somebody is at the desk and literally kicking off, what happens next? what do you do? . off, what happens next? what do you do? , ., ., , , , do? yes, unfortunately this is common. _ do? yes, unfortunately this is common. l— do? yes, unfortunately this is common, i have _ do? yes, unfortunately this is common, i have seen - do? yes, unfortunately this is common, i have seen it i do? yes, unfortunately this is common, i have seen it and l do? yes, unfortunately this is i common, i have seen it and other practices i have worked on, this isn't new, unfortunately we have policies set out in our practice for abusive, or physically violent patients. you would almost think we are a clinical care setting needing to provide support. when that happens what we have to do is rally around as a team to try to protect a member of staff that is probably at the coalface of this, but also try to calm the patient down. in many situations in the past i have had to come out of my room when i am an emergency doctorfor a emergency doctor for a clinical setting because the emergency alarm has been set off because a patient is kicking off. communication is the key thing. a lot of it — the patient

is scared, they are afraid, that is when they become really angry at the same time. there are no winners in the situation, i'm afraid, it is such a sad situation for all of us, for the clinical staff and the patient. i can see it from both sides, all you can do is communicate and try to defuse the situation as quickly as possible because you have other patients in the way from witnessing this unfortunately. it can impact them who are also sick in this environment as well. like i say, there are no winners. ibthd say, there are no winners. and thinkini say, there are no winners. and thinking through _ say, there are no winners. and thinking through practical terms, thinking through practical terms, thinking about who you see, have you had an example where somebody has not been welcome in the surgery but then presumably you can't do that because obviously the person is therefore a reason, they need help from the nhs? iarufe therefore a reason, they need help from the nhs?— therefore a reason, they need help from the nhs? we do have a policy set aside and _ from the nhs? we do have a policy set aside and most _ from the nhs? we do have a policy set aside and most gp _ from the nhs? we do have a policy set aside and most gp practices i from the nhs? we do have a policy| set aside and most gp practices will have this, if you have a patient thatis have this, if you have a patient that is recurrently, constantly being like this, despite

conversations with them, communicating with them, in the past 20 years ago we had a mediation with a very difficult patient. unfortunately what we have to do — there is a policy that you construct there is a policy that you construct the patient off your list and say that they are not welcome at the practice and ask them to register somewhere else. there are steps that lead us to try and prevent that as much as possible. like you say we want to provide individual, we don't want to provide individual, we don't want to provide individual, we don't want to turn them away and we may be the only practice but when there is no choice left because it other patients in the waiting room or other care we are trying to provide where do we go? that is the ultimate price that we pay where we strike off a patient. price that we pay where we strike off a patient-— price that we pay where we strike off a patient. thank you very much for our off a patient. thank you very much for your time _ off a patient. thank you very much for your time on _ off a patient. thank you very much for your time on a _ off a patient. thank you very much for your time on a saturday - off a patient. thank you very much i for your time on a saturday morning. just talking through some of the problems in terms of receptionists and what happens to them over the counters as people increasingly turned to abuse or in some cases as you heard my occasion violence. some of the lesser—known stories of world war two are those of the thousands of caribbean

servicemen who came to britain as volunteers, but families of those who served at raf hunmanby in east yorkshire hope to change this by creating a memorial to recognise their contribution. leanne brown has been to find out more. the sacrifices made by british servicemen and women in world war ii are well documented and recognised. but thousands of volunteers who came over from other places like the west indies seem to have been forgotten. edwin samuels and gil marlaska were among thousands who made the journey from the caribbean to england serving at raf hunmanby on the east yorkshire coast. family members have been campaigning for a park to be placed inside the war memorial gardens in filey, but the council won't allow it. what does like to serve as a

reminder to all people of the contribution made to the war effort by people of colour, there are many young people today who simply don't know that their forebears came to this country long before the windrush and helped in the war effort. �* ., ., , ., ~ effort. alfred cove was an raf mechanic _ effort. alfred cove was an raf mechanic who _ effort. alfred cove was an raf mechanic who came _ effort. alfred cove was an raf mechanic who came over i effort. alfred cove was an raf mechanic who came over from j effort. alfred cove was an raf - mechanic who came over from jamaica and after the war he stayed here. when they find me it was the first time, so many of us passed through filey, it is very, very important that people remember and, you know, there were beautiful days and there were rough days. the there were beautiful days and there were rough days-— were rough days. the design of the ark in were rough days. the design of the park in memory — were rough days. the design of the park in memory of _ were rough days. the design of the park in memory of those _ were rough days. the design of the park in memory of those who i were rough days. the design of the. park in memory of those who served is ready but it had no home until a local resident stepped in to help. i'm glad to say we have had a fantastic response from people all over the country but particularly from people from filey who didn't know about this history and certainly didn't know about our campaign. one lady in particular has

come forward, she has property filey and she has kindly allowed us to put the park on her property, and i can see it is going to have a fantastic location just on the cliff path. the location 'ust on the cliff path. the ark location just on the cliff path. the ark will location just on the cliff path. the park will be _ location just on the cliff path. the park will be unveiled in april, finally honouring those who crossed oceans to help britain. —— plaque. leanne brown reporting there. we have spoken bottom issue our prepayment metres in people being forced to go on them as they struggle to keep up with their energy bills. a charity and east yorkshire spanning more than £1000 per month helping households which simply can't afford to top up prepayment metres. a local community centre says it has seen an increase in those without gas and electricity. one of the most affluent towns in east yorkshire but behind every door is the rising cost—of—living being

there is somebody out there but i'm afraid it is all a sticking plaster support. there are still unclaimed cost—of—living payments particularly for people on prepayment metres who may have received vouchers but not known how to cash them. we can sometimes persuade energy companies to put a hold on debt collection through those metres. it is getting dark but joe _ through those metres. it is getting dark but joe and _ through those metres. it is getting dark but joe and the _ through those metres. it is getting dark but joe and the team - through those metres. it is getting dark but joe and the team in i through those metres. it is getting i dark but joe and the team in beverly dark butjoe and the team in beverly r giving advice. will magnay cut me off 33p over — the gas got cut off straightaway. it was left for about five days with three children. these pay—as—you—go readers are supposed to help people stay in control of energy use but the energy now costs more and for many may now be a living day to day. the advice is to seek help and know that you are not alone. no—one does is ed miliband, shadow

secretary of climate change. i think a lot of people would have been watching that, looking at those first—hand stories of how this works in practice. you can hear about the theory and the numbers, 3.2 million people, then you hear about how individuals are affected. in the last instance there was a woman. michelle. j:,': , last instance there was a woman. michelle. .':.': , ., ., michelle. 33p undead on her prepayment _ michelle. 33p undead on her prepayment metre - michelle. 33p undead on her prepayment metre and i michelle. 33p undead on her prepayment metre and was| michelle. 33p undead on her i prepayment metre and was cut michelle. 33p undead on her - prepayment metre and was cut off. now hearing this really is a national scandal, and its acquired scandal. we national scandal, and its acquired scandal. ~ ~' ., national scandal, and its acquired scandal. ~ ~ ., ., , scandal. we know about the energy rice scandal. we know about the energy price hikes- — scandal. we know about the energy price hikes. what _ scandal. we know about the energy price hikes. what we _ scandal. we know about the energy price hikes. what we have - scandal. we know about the energy price hikes. what we have in - scandal. we know about the energy price hikes. what we have in this i price hikes. what we have in this country is the scourge of people being disconnected, cut off, blackouts by the backdoor. companies can't cut people off if they are on direct debit but to get moved to prepayment metres, they force them to be installed, the customers don't get a choice. and then they can't afford to top up and 3 million

people last year, unable to top up and essentially cut off. 130,000 of them with a disability or long—term condition, a week apparently being cut off, and there are rules in place that say the most vulnerable are meant to be protected. 1 place that say the most vulnerable are meant to be protected.- are meant to be protected. i think we need to _ are meant to be protected. i think we need to be _ are meant to be protected. i think we need to be careful _ are meant to be protected. i think we need to be careful with - are meant to be protected. i think. we need to be careful with language. when you say cut off, the energy companies are not allowed to cut someone off stop effectively if you can't pay for the service, you don't receive the service. the energy companies aren't cutting off. what they say is that if you put in a prepayment metre, it is easier to budget and the evidence is there that someone has managed to budget or paid by direct debit in a timely manner each month. but the issue is, if you're on a prepayment metre, the rate is there. that can be tackled. prepayment re—enters in themselves a lot of bad thing. —— people

they say, we are never not going to provide you with power, you can have enough power to keep your lights on. we need to look at the costings of that, if that is tactical, but the companies, the regulator and the government have got to get a grip on this problem. it’s government have got to get a grip on this problem-— this problem. it's become way throuuh this problem. it's become way through this. _ this problem. it's become way through this. immediately - this problem. it's become way through this. immediately you this problem. it's become way - through this. immediately you come across obstacles. supposing you are in a position, you could play a card here, and you would say to the energy companies, there are 3.2 million people on those prepayment metres, they can't afford it. we heard, it's £30 a week, prepaid, went up to £100 a week. she comes along and says, i can't pay that. she maybe doesn't fall into a vulnerable group, i cannot afford to pay those numbers. who is going to pay that? the energy company will say, why should we be out of pocket? would return to you as the government and say, you sub

here. they are supposed to protect the vulnerable and they are not protecting the vulnerable. there is widely different practice among different companies, some very rarely do these forced installations. others do a lot more. they are also businesses, they've got to make roberts. we do want to talk to about this single use plastic ban before we go, expected to come in in october, new law which bans a single use plastic for restaurants, cafe 's. do supported and do you think it will work? it’s and do you think it will work? it's and do you think it will work? it's a ste and do you think it will work? it�*s a step forward. it's the right thing to do. obviously companies need to be able to adapt to it. when you look at the details of this, there are some quite a big gaps. single use plastic bottles, has been this long—standing call for a deposit returned scheme for single use plastic titles funded by the manufacturers, the government seems to be dragging its feet but to be fair, it's a step forward.- to be dragging its feet but to be fair, it's a step forward. there is further to _ fair, it's a step forward. there is further to go- — fair, it's a step forward. there is further to go. when _ fair, it's a step forward. there is further to go. when was - fair, it's a step forward. there is

and tottenham against arsenal, today it's all about the manchester derby, arguably the most important for years, with an in form united team hoping to join the title race. indeed, a win will take them to within a point of neighbours city, who themselves, need the points to keep leaders arsenal in their sights. patrick gearey reports. city and united, giants is scaling at each other across town, 2.5 miles apart but it's there a change in the landscape? might they be moving closer? for premier league points as the gap. city higher but united rising, the momentum has been building since they last met the neighbours in october and now they seem a team in the mould of their manager. your luck a clear vision and a clear philosophy. in point we want to go the direction, then it's about development. that's what we're

in the premier league. villa found holes in the fragile leeds defence, afterjust three minutes, and a beautifulfinish from leon bailey. it was a busy night for var. leeds had a goal ruled out, before villa doubled their lead, when the technology ruled that emiliano buendia's header should count. patrick bamford finally got leeds a goal, they'd been chasing all game, but villa held on, and their boss, was cockahoop with delight, in contrast to his opposite number, jessie marsh, willy gnonto was the star, but they could be in the relegation zone by this evening. after a month away, the women's super league returns this weekend after its winter break. chelsea and arsenal, first and second in the division, play tomorrow. the first game back, is this lunchtime, it sees aston villa welcome tottenham, where all eyes will be on spurs debutant, bethany england, who signed from chelsea, becoming the most expensive transfer between two wsl sides. after an impressive build up to the australian open,

britains cameron norrie hasjust missed out on a fifth atp title, losing narrowly to richard gasquet in the final in auckland. the world number 12 had won the opening six matches of his season but lost this one in three sets. he's now got a tight turnaround before his first match in melbourne on monday, taking on the teenager luca van assche. now to rugby union, and leicester tigers are back to winning ways in europe, after struggling recently in the premiership. the tigers won 44—29, at clermont auvergne in the champions cup, which maintains their 100% win record in the competition. propjames cronin sealed the tigers' win, with a try in the 78th minute to send them into the last 16. here's matt with a look at the weather. quite a lot of talk about what a picture that is.

our 40th anniversary. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. as breakfast reaches its 40th anniversary, does it provide the right mix of news and entertainment? and is it too obsessed with charity campaigns and health issues? it's hard to imagine there was ever a time without breakfast television, but there was. and that was the case in this country up until 17 january 1983. that morning, two weeks before the launch of its itv competitor, tvam, breakfast time arrived on bbc one. it's 6.30. with frank boff and selina scott presenting, the original aim was to be homely and upbeat from the chesterfield sofa they sat on to the presence of the colourfully attired resident astrologist

russell grant, giving non—scientific predictions alongside the weather. what that man's going to do about your tie, now he's see myjumper, he'll probably never watch again. equally bright in her appearance was fitness guru diana moran, the so—called 'green goddess. really expanding there this morning. there was news, of course, but it came a definite second to entertainment, priorities that were reversed in 1986 with the introduction of desks, chairs and heavyweight journalistic presenters. that approach was reflected a couple of years later by a change of name to breakfast news before another rebranding in the year 2000, when it became just breakfast. good morning. welcome to our brand new programme. a further reinvention came with a move to salford in 2012, but now where next for breakfast as it enters its fifth decade? we'll be exploring those questions in a moment with the editor of breakfast.

but first, a selection of your views about the show, starting with this compliment from jason pollitt: in recent years, breakfast has become known for a focus on campaigns around health issues, such as a series of items on former rugby league player rob burrow, who has motor neurone disease. here's a couple of examples from the past few days. tim, andy and mike, the three dads walking. each lost a daughter to suicide. in september, they walked between all four uk parliaments, calling for suicide prevention to become a compulsory part of the school curriculum. the idea of doddie aid is to do any exercise you want swimming, running, cycling, anything and record it on the doddie aid app. every individual bit of exercise done is counted

on the app and then added to a leaderboard. now, in its third year, doddie aid has already raised a remarkable £2 million for mnd research. features like those don't go down well with all the audience. here's one viewer who got in touch with us. hello. i'm a big fan of bbc breakfast and have been watching for many, many years, but lately it seems that it's become very one—note in terms of reports on campaigning. i'm in awe of the work that mnd campaigners do, for example, and the ladies who went across, i think, the north sea or the atlantic and the dads who've been highlighting suicide problems among young men. it's wonderful, but it seems that bbc breakfast will pick up the story and just follow it maybe once or twice a week for absolutely ages, and you'll have a package with the film and then you'll have a studio interview and the reports seem to be getting longer and longer. peter pollock echoed that, begging:

louisa o'brien added: others object to the amount of airtime given to guests publicising a new book, film or television series. here's some more clips from the past week. simon, i'm going to ask you lots of very in—depth questions about the whole show and everything. but the first one has to be about the hair. wow. i mean, that's like a whole character in itself. it is, yeah. tell us about the show. how does it work? how do you put these celebrity couples through the tasks? - your play is all about manners. do you want to? it is worth explaining.

do you want to just explain this? you do it better. the play's written by - steven moffat of sherlock fame, of course. keith grant was one of a number of viewers objecting to interviews such as those: and joe chandler expressed concern about the recent focus on one particular book: plenty there to discuss with the editor of bbc breakfast, richard frediani. thank you so much for coming on newswatch. it's lovely to have you here along with the rest of bbc news, i think it's fair to say you've done a lot about prince harry in the past couple of weeks. too much?

we have, we have done a lot, but we've done far more on the cost of living or the health crisis facing the national health service across the uk. prince harry's story is a story of genuine interest. look at how many books he sold in the last few days. it's a story that the viewers will react to. and i would argue, is it about we've done too much or is there just a subjective appeal about whether we should be doing it at all? ultimately, we live in a constitutional monarchy. prince harry is part of that. and therefore, what he has to say about his own life, the life of his relationship with prince william, the king and others, is going to be of interest and in some case, in some parts of it may be of significant news value. people see all those interviews, which we gave examples of, with celebrities plugging their new book or their new play or their new film or their tv show, and they think it's just free advertising and it's all coming at the expense of real news. what do you say? well, look, we're a topical news programme, so we do a mix of news but other issues and issues that matter to the audience and an

audience's life is filled with many different events and shades of what they do. so, for instance, as well as the issues that matter to them on a day to day basis, such as health and cost of living, they're watching television at home. so whether it's happy valley that rates at 5 or 6 million and they're interested in the story of the character that the lead role in happy valley is based on, or, for instance, johnny vegas came on earlier this week, ostensibly to talk about a new programme he was is in. but actually the interview ended up talking about his recent diagnosis of adhd, of which we got a huge amount of viewer feedback praising us for discussing that issue so openly. which leads onto my next question, which is the health related charity campaigns, which are slightly different to the news story that you just gave an example of. those campaigns have become regular part of breakfast. and as you know, there are viewers who feel that there's ample space for this sort of thing after 9:15am and again, it's just too much of it on breakfast,

which is, they think, a news programme. look, i'm grateful to the millions of viewers who tune in to bbc breakfast every single morning and make us the number one choice. and they're always, always going to be a divide about stories that. you believe we should and shouldn't cover in terms of those issues, such as what i would say is about raising awareness. i mean, look at kevin sinfield. it began two years ago as going out for a run with six people and ended up with 67,000 people and several million on television cheering him into the final, the rugby league world cup final, after he'd run seven ultramarathons in seven days. but what it did was focus and attention on that issue. we've done the same with prostate cancer. we had viewers contacting us about a guy called garry mccarthy who had run 365 marathons in 365 days because he wanted to raise awareness about macmillan cancer. and they were saying to us, why aren't you giving him more attention? we think he should be celebrated because do you know what? these are people doing extraordinary things to raise awareness and help millions,

literally, of other people. do you see breakfast as the news or as an entertainment show? it's a topical news programme that has a mix of everything for viewers in different ways. it's not like the six o'clock news. it's not the ten o'clock news. and that's notjust true of us. but i look across the media landscape at breakfast time, and whether you're talking about us or any of our rivals, you see that same sort of mix at breakfast. i can onlyjudge it based on the reaction we get from our audience, and that's why programmes like newswatch are of value. the emails we get in, the tweets that i see, the audiences contacting viewer complaints. we take all those things on board. i think, look, news is often subjective to many people. everybody has a view about what you should and shouldn't cover. people have a view about what issues you should and shouldn't cover on newswatch. it's a subjective industry and we take a view about the issues we think we should cover, the stories we should cover, often based on audience interaction. and when we do that, i think it gives the audience a range of stories that they

enjoy on a daily basis. do you think that one of the reasons there are more complaints we were wondering is because so much of breakfast is now simulcast on the news channel, and people watching the news channel, you know, they used to know if i turn on the news. i'll get a news bulletin, essentially with news interviews. and they don't get that anymore. well, look, breakfast has been on the news channel since, what, 2000, right? 95% of our audience is on is on bbc one. just a very small section of it is on the news channel. and the only comparison i can give you is there's only one time of the week when we're exclusively on the news channel and not on bbc one. and that's on a sunday morning when bbc one plays much of the day highlights ataround 7:30. and you know what? the number one choice from 7:30 till 9:00 on a sunday morning ahead of any other news channel by a significant level is bbc breakfast on the bbc news channel. so we clearly are doing something that the audience appreciate. newswatch, of course, as you said yourself, goes out during breakfast on saturdays, which we love.

we get a big audience, sometimes covering complaints about breakfast. is it weird for you? i don't think it's weird. i think there's a challenge for newswatch, which isjust because you're on breakfast, does that mean that the audience always feel like you're the regulator and monitor of breakfast? and i think the challenge is to make sure that you cover complaints about all range of bbc programmes. look, i don't think it is. i think it's right that you exist. i think it's right that the audience is views are reflected and i think it's right that people like me are held to account. richard, thank you so much for coming on newswatch. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media email newswatch@bbc.co.uk or you can find us on twitter at @newswatchbbc. you can call us on 03 7010 6676 and do you have a look at previous interviews on our website, bbc.co.uk? newswatch. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week.

goodbye.

possible terms. and he said his thoughts were with alireza akbari's family. we also got a statement from the foreign office injames cleverly�*s name, saying a senior iranian diplomat would be summoned to speak with the uk government figures today to make it clear our disgust, as he put it, at iran's actions. there has been diplomacy going on, or at least attempts at diplomacy this week, just on wednesday, the foreign secretary said that iran must not fall through on their threats to execute mr akbari —— follow through. it appears those calls went unheeded. the us government also tried to get involved. there is obviously an attempt to deal with this diplomatically in the aftermath, but this is very likely to make bad relations even worse at this point. for the moment, thank you. some single—use plastics will be banned in england from october.

takeaways, restaurants and cafes ta keaways, restau ra nts a nd cafes will takeaways, restaurants and cafes will have to stop using plastic cutlery, plates and bowls as part of a new plan by the government to tackle plastic pollution. we have this report. from october, the government plans to ban restaurants from using single—use plastics and polystyrene. we from using single-use plastics and polystyrene-— polystyrene. we have a raft of measures _ polystyrene. we have a raft of measures on _ polystyrene. we have a raft of measures on waste, - polystyrene. we have a raft of measures on waste, trying - polystyrene. we have a raft of measures on waste, trying to | polystyrene. we have a raft of- measures on waste, trying to reduce waste in this country. and this new band that we are announcing today is just one of a raft of measures to really tackle this issue. ministers are planning _ really tackle this issue. ministers are planning to — really tackle this issue. ministers are planning to ban _ really tackle this issue. ministers are planning to ban single-use i are planning to ban single—use plastic trays, cutlery, bowls, balloon sticks and some polystyrene cups and food containers. it is part of in the's 25 year environment plan to eliminate avoidable plastic waste by 2042. in 2020, single—use plastic straws, cotton buds and stirrers were banned for sale in

distribution. it is estimated england uses 2.7 billion items of single use cutlery each year. the majority are plastic. in 2020, plastic cutlery made it to the top 15 most listed items. england is playing catch—up with other uk nations. wales approved similar measures last month. those come into effect later this year. in scotland introduced a similar ban lastjune. takeaway owners are concerned that new rules could add to their costs when bills are already high. campaigners welcome any move that reduces our carbon footprint and reduces our carbon footprint and reduces harmful greenhouse gases. but for some, the government's plans don't go far enough. we but for some, the government's plans don't go far enough.— don't go far enough. we are second onl to don't go far enough. we are second only to the — don't go far enough. we are second only to the us _ don't go far enough. we are second only to the us in _ don't go far enough. we are second only to the us in how _ don't go far enough. we are second only to the us in how much - don't go far enough. we are second only to the us in how much plastici only to the us in how much plastic waste is produced per person. that means we are the second biggest producers of plastic waste in the world. so we really need transformative change to happen. we need the government to be showing real ambition and taking the lead. we are looking for a 50% reduction

several explosions from around 4am. concerning the come of the sirens did not go off for a couple of hours. but kyiv and other cities around ukraine are well practised and having to prepare for air strikes from either russian missiles, drones or air strikes. strikes from either russian missiles, drones orairstrikes. so we have reports of these explosions this morning. the authorities are saying infrastructure has been hit. in their words, more details will follow. but the advice pretty clearly is that we had to get underground. so there are a number of scenarios which could be happening. you could have had air strikes coming from belarus where russia is continuing to stage troops and fighterjets. we have seen missile strikes in the past from the caspian sea, as well as from occupied areas in the east of ukraine. it really is a threat posed from all directions. the city's air defences are pretty effective. but

not completely, which is why there is that risk of missiles making it through. also, even if missiles are taken out by a defence systems, the falling debris really does cause a threat. so we are down here for now, and others and the rest of the city will wait to hear more. can and others and the rest of the city will wait to hear more.— and others and the rest of the city will wait to hear more. can you also u date will wait to hear more. can you also udate us will wait to hear more. can you also update us on _ will wait to hear more. can you also update us on what _ will wait to hear more. can you also update us on what is _ will wait to hear more. can you also update us on what is happening - will wait to hear more. can you also | update us on what is happening with soledar? russian claims now it is being captured, but president zelensky insisting fighting continues there.— zelensky insisting fighting continues there. , ., ., continues there. yes, we have got the first real _ continues there. yes, we have got the first real clear— continues there. yes, we have got the first real clear claim _ continues there. yes, we have got the first real clear claim really - the first real clear claim really from moscow finally after so many contradictions that it now has control of what is a small salt mining town which has been reduced to rubble. thejury is out on mining town which has been reduced to rubble. the jury is out on just how useful that town is in a military sense. but you just need to look at what is happening in russia and russian state tv and social media channels, they are really talking up the capturing of soledar. but this has happened before. it has

been six months since russia has taken locations, and when that happens, kyiv made a retreat. it is hinting it might do the same again here. why? because what happened last time was that while russia made relatively minimal gains, ukraine retook swathes of territory elsewhere. we were there last weekend and there is a lot of military activity going on. i would not be surprised to see a counter offensive on the ukrainian side elsewhere. all that is certainly what kyiv will hope to do, with the help of western weapons, which are continuing to arrive for now.- continuing to arrive for now. james, for the moment, _ continuing to arrive for now. james, for the moment, thanks _ continuing to arrive for now. james, for the moment, thanks very - continuing to arrive for now. james, for the moment, thanks very much. j for the moment, thanks very much. james waterhouse in kyiv. 46—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of the murder of natalie mcnally and county armagh has been released on bail. natalie was 32, 15 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed on the 18th of december at her home in silverwood green in lurgan. the labour party is calling on

ministers to ban the forced installation of prepayment meters and financially stretched households until the spring. the intervention comes after citizens advice warned more than 3 million people across britain run out of credit on their prepayment meter last year because they could not afford to top—up. martin newman has this report. hundreds of thousands of households has found themselves forcibly switched over to more costly prepayment gas and electricity meters after falling behind with their energy bills. and this is something labour wants to see temporarily banned. in a letter to the business secretary grant shapps, the business secretary grant shapps, the shadow climate secretary ed miliband says he wants the ban to last at least three months, to help those struggling to pay their bills stay warm during the colder months. labour is also calling for an urgent review into how energy vulnerability can be reduced. it also wants to put an end to the unfair penalty on

prepayment meter? by committing to additional support for them. the former labour leader, in a separate statement, labelled the forced installation of prepayment meters are shameful, saying of millions of families are facing disconnection by the back door. according to citizens advice, an estimated 600,000 people were forced to make the switch, after getting into debt with their energy supplier last year. compared with 380,000 in 2021. the government says it expects energy suppliers to do all they can to help? who are struggling to pay their bills and suppliers can only install prepayment meters without consent to recover debt as a last resort. rishi sunak has been accused of demonising ambulance workers by one of the unions that represents them. in a letter to prime minister, the gmb union said paramedics, call

handlers and emergency care assistants felt utterly betrayed by attempts to paint them as uncaring as they strike over pay and conditions. downing street said it greatly valued ambulance workers. 11 minutes past eight is the time. when the story. friday the 13th might be unlucky for some if you believe in that stuff, in the us, someone will be thanking their lucky stars after winning over $1 billion in the mega millions straw. that is over £1 billion. —— mega millions drawer. unbelievable amount of money, unthinkable. the sir kenny dalglish jackpot money, unthinkable. the sir kenny dalglishjackpot in the money, unthinkable. the sir kenny dalglish jackpot in the game's history, the ticket holder in maine is the only person to match all six numbers match last night, securing a prize worth up to $1.35 billion. that is a lot of money, isn't it?

yes. that is what i am here for, to give context. that is some insight for you. matt didn't know, it is a lot of money. can you raise the bar when it comes to insight? i am really glad he clarified because i was a bit unsure, to be honest. i would still be up for work at three o'clock tomorrow morning on that figure, wouldn't you? wouldn't you ? yes, yes, wouldn't you? yes, yes, iwould. i love it. i do as well. not the alarm call, but the work. not enjoying the weather this morning, it was very wet amount journey, lots of puddles around as you can see in temperature, some flooding around and flood warnings have been going up in number since the start of the ship this morning. now up to 19 in england and seven across wales. the flood warnings study in scotland. across western england and wales, we saw up to 50 millimetres of rain falling through the night, especially on the hills. the latest flood warning details on the bbc weather website. on the move, bbc local radio will have all

your travel information on bbc sounds. but whilst we start wet, after a thoroughly wet nights with this satellite imagery shows the cloud that brought the rain, that is the gap behind it. skies will brighten. the rain at the moment has been extensive so far this morning. but on the western edges, that is starting to break up into something a bit or showery. an indication that dry weather is developing. there is a plume of wetted conditions pushing towards the south—east and east anglia that will take a while to brighten up and it may take until the mid afternoon before we see anything akin to sunshine. sunshine will develop elsewhere. still showers in the hills and wales, north—west england and lots of showers in western scotland and northern ireland through the afternoon, some of those will be wintry, the wind strengthening here, 50, 60 miles wintry, the wind strengthening here, 50,60 miles is, wintry, the wind strengthening here, 50, 60 miles is, blustery across the south. scotland brightens up, orkney seeing the more persistent rain, temperatures around ten to 5 degrees for most of you. it will drop compared to where they are at the moment. dropping further tonight and

tomorrow. notice the winds going northerly. outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow across scotland, on the hills of northern ireland, northern england and wales, we could see wintry nurse. and to the north of that, we will see frost and ice to take us into sunday morning. —— wintry weather. a call to start tomorrow morning. and the reason is we open the door to winds from the that continue to push north that continue to push southwards sunday into monday. lots of snow flurries across the north of scotland on sunday. this band of cloud and outbreaks of rain extends through ireland, wales, central parts of england. they could contain wintry weather over the tops of the hills and tomorrow, more of you will be dry throughout the day with sunshine. it will feel chillier and the wind in the north feel sub zero given the strength of the wind. sunday night into monday morning, we could see heavy rain through the english channel clipping the south—east. on the northern edge, we could see sleet and snow. the covering of snow in northern ireland, northern england on monday

morning. but also fairly icy conditions as well. the ground is so saturated, ice will be possible just about anywhere, but temperatures down to —8 in areas of scotland as we start the new working week. and the start of the new working week will be cold with the risk of frost and ice for a time. some snow in places, not everyone will see it, but the risk is there and later in the week, turning mild again with outbreaks of rain. landlords will be given new guidance on the health risks caused by damp and mould following the current�*s report. a two—year—old died in 2020 from a respiratory condition caused by exposure to mould, in its formal response, ministers described the death is a tragedy which should never have happened. there are concerns many children are still living in similar conditions. we have this report from leeds. in a

school wrote a letter saying the boy was suffering with eczema, which is aggravated by damp and dust. he is not able to focus on his learning due to lack of sleep. and in march 2021, doctor leeds teaching hospitals wrote, i believe the current housing situation of the family is not sufficient and is exacerbating his allergy and skin condition. i exacerbating his allergy and skin condition. ., , exacerbating his allergy and skin condition. . , ., ., condition. i am very worried, i am very worried- _ condition. i am very worried, i am very worried- i— condition. i am very worried, i am very worried. i am _ condition. i am very worried, i am very worried. i am not _ condition. i am very worried, i am very worried. i am not happy, - condition. i am very worried, i am very worried. i am not happy, i. condition. i am very worried, i am| very worried. i am not happy, i am very worried. i am not happy, i am very sad. the council is making for me a big headache. iam very sad. the council is making for me a big headache. i am always thinking about my child, my family. but i don't have another option, what do i do?— but i don't have another option, what do i do? idris has a 'ob, but he sa s what do i do? idris has a 'ob, but he says he — what do i do? idris has a 'ob, but he says he sent h what do i do? idris has a 'ob, but he says he can't afford _ what do i do? idris has a 'ob, but he says he can't afford a h what do i do? idris has a job, but he says he can't afford a deposit| what do i do? idris has a job, but i he says he can't afford a deposit to rent privately. his family has lived here since 2014, but the council has now decided to demolish these towers to create space for more modern housing and says tenants will be rehoused over the next two years. it told us work will begin next week in

this family's flat to treat the mould. the mould may be tackled, but the parents say this is not how their children should be growing up. let's speak now to the chief executive of the housing charity can make shelter. i hope you are able to hear some of that report, idris and his family, and it was plotting back, what will have struck many people, plotting back to 2015 when he was first raising officially through official channels concerns about his children'swelfare and their health, asthma and other things. does that surprise you, that story? it things. does that surprise you, that sto ? ., , �* things. does that surprise you, that sto ? . , �* ., things. does that surprise you, that sto ? ., things. does that surprise you, that sto ? . ., story? it wasn't that -- wasn't that absolute heartbreaking _ story? it wasn't that -- wasn't that absolute heartbreaking segment i story? it wasn't that -- wasn't that i absolute heartbreaking segment you just played? and i thought listening to his daughter in particular was just incredibly moving and

distressing, wasn't it? i mean, no, of course it has an impact hearing it first time every single time you hear it because a safe and decent home is the foundation of our life so when you hear it like that, it is shocking. surprising, no, iwish i could say yes, but actually at shelter, this is the caseload of my colleagues working on the front line. it isjust colleagues working on the front line. it is just appallingly common. how is it possible that a family like that and we are using this as an example, but it could be played out in many homes and i am sure it is, where they do the right and they compile evidence as to literally the state of the building and the place they are living in and then they get evidence, medical evidence about the harm it is doing. and we know now because of the current�*s inquest there can be a direct correlation. how is it

possible all of that gets ignored and left and nothing done? —— the coroner's inquest. ilil" and left and nothing done? -- the coroner's inquest.— coroner's inquest. our housing s stem coroner's inquest. our housing system in _ coroner's inquest. our housing system in this _ coroner's inquest. our housing system in this country - coroner's inquest. our housing system in this country is - coroner's inquest. our housing system in this country is in - coroner's inquest. our housing i system in this country is in utter meltdown. we are simply not building decent homes for people on low incomes to afford to rent, that is the root of the problem, and there is not the investment, proper investment in housing either in social homes which is the most important thing or indeed in improving the situation of tenants in the private rented sector. none of that has been happening for decades now. and the result, i am afraid to commit is that we now have afraid to commit is that we now have a large number of families who are homeless in temporary accommodation and a very large number of families in both social and private rented homes who are having to put up with conditions that are damaging their physical health and indeed their

mental health. and i think that came out very strongly. it is not ok for children not to be able to invite friends home, it is not ok for children to have most. it is not ok for children to be cramped up and not have space to do their schoolwork and their education suffers. all of these things are the result of fundamentally a lack of investment in homes and the lack of sufficient protection for the rights of tenants. ., ., of tenants. you mentioned understandably _ of tenants. you mentioned understandably the - of tenants. you mentioned understandably the wider i understandably the wider infrastructure issue. the simple fact that is not enough decent quality homes. on a practical level, those families in that situation, are people reluctant to make a fuss? i am using that term very loosely because they have every right to raise those issues. are they reluctant to go through the authorities for fear of being kicked out of the place they are already in, albeit they want to change, but

forfear of in, albeit they want to change, but for fear of consequences? yes. particularly _ for fear of consequences? yes. particularly in _ for fear of consequences? yes. particularly in private _ for fear of consequences? has particularly in private renting because we still have section 21, known as no fault of evictions. in the private rented sector, definitely that fear is there and we find that in research we have done among tenants at shelter that people are really afraid to complain with good reason because their landlords can evict them for no reason at all, they don't have to give a reason. the government has got a bill absolutely ready to go, but we have been working intensely with them on it, the renters reform bill that will reform the private renting sector, once—in—a—generation opportunity, they still have not given a date for that bill and we knew really need that urgently. just lookin: at knew really need that urgently. just looking at the comments from michael gove secretary of state for housing, you will be familiar with his comments. immediately after the report of the coroner, he said the death of awaab ishak was a tragedy and shone a light on the appalling

conditions that can exist in the social housing sector and we must do all we can to ensure it never happens again. we have already taken tough action against failing landlords. and he goes through a number of measures that have been taken. what have you made of the reaction since we heard that coroner's report?— reaction since we heard that coroner's report? well, i think michael gove _ coroner's report? well, i think michael gove has _ coroner's report? well, i think michael gove has taken - coroner's report? well, i think michael gove has taken very i michael gove has taken very seriously the coroner's words when she said that this needs to be a turning point for standards in housing and particularly in social housing. and actually, the government do have a social housing regulation bill that is making its way into legislation. that could be speeded up, but that is happening. and that will make a real difference i think four people in social housing. it could go a bit further, but it will introduce ofsted style inspections of social housing, which is definitely really important. it

doesn't weigh from the fact that there are not enough homes for people on low incomes to rent and that's why this out of date unliveable housing stock is still being used. what also it doesn't do, as i was saying, it doesn't protect private renters who are actually more likely statistically to experience these kind of conditions, and for that, we do need government to bring the renters reform bill in as soon as possible.— to bring the renters reform bill in as soon as possible. appreciate your time, as soon as possible. appreciate your time. thank — as soon as possible. appreciate your time. thank you _ as soon as possible. appreciate your time, thank you very _ as soon as possible. appreciate your time, thank you very much. - as soon as possible. appreciate your time, thank you very much. chief. time, thank you very much. chief executive of shelter. you may be aware that breakfast has a big birthday coming up next week. we are turning 40 and we would love you to help us celebrate. so if you have memories of watching the programme over the past four decades, maybe you would like to share them with us as a reminder. look at this.

if you use a gentle sawing motion, a gentle sawing motion, you can cut even the freshest bread straight through. even the freshest bread straight throuuh.

are looking at in some detail this morning, cheap, convenient but disposable plastic and the way we get rid of it is a huge problem across the uk. so to tackle it, a ban on some single—use plastics will come into force in england from october. john maguire has been taking a look at the impact on the environment. plastic everywhere, rubbish everywhere. look at it. as the tides rise and fall, part of its banks are littered with plastic. once thought of as the miracle of material, when it is used once and then thrown away irresponsibly it is a menace. that's polystyrene food packaging. from a burger. this would have been a takeaway somewhere in bristol, so it's not like you are at home and you could use to put it in the bin. these types of plastics at best will be shoved into a bin on the street, often they are overflowing, or they will be thrown out of a car window or dropped on the street. from the first bit of rain you get, they will get washed into the waterways and they end up here on the river banks,

causing huge damage to the ecosystems. from october, england will follow scotland and wales in the banning certain types of single—use plastic, particularly the cutlery and containers used for takeaway. the government says it is part of a range of schemes to eradicate this type of the type of stuff at the source. we are tackling the things that are a problem so this comes on the back of us already having banned cotton buds and that is already... and straws, that has already made an enormous difference, they have dropped out of the most commonly littered items found on beaches because we brought that ban in, and we will certainly look at other items for example wet wipes and for example cigarette filters and so forth. they are all coming onto the horizon. but these bottles and supermarket food tubs aren't included, they will come under a different scheme to make producers responsible

for the recycling. do you want a fork? at this fish shop in bristol, they pride themselves not only on their cod, chips and mushy peas but also on what they're served in. best of my knowledge, that is a by—product of the sugar cane industry and it is a compostable product. but at the moment you are doing your mushy peas and curry sauce and your gravies still in... some are polystyrene, we are making a move. doing a lot more internet orders. we changed this to a recyclable, reusable plastic tub. we like to do the right thing if we can, but we are also aware that a lot of our customers, they like to try and do the right thing if they can, and if you can help them better, then they are more comfortable, certainly with, you know, because it is the environment, isn't it? and that's important. the ban is nine months away to allow businesses to use up their stocks and adapt to the changes, but this packaging costs three times what polystyrene would, so either business owners and/or customers will pay more.

businesses are going to find it difficult to do. small businesses are ahead of the game, they have been doing this for a long time but this will come with cost, and with the cost comes challenge. for decades, scientists have been working to find sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. they believe the answer comes not from beneath the ground but in the ocean. this obviously looks and smells like seaweed? seaweed farms. they don't need [and or fertiliser, and are highly effective in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. with plastic we have created a whole series of legacy problems. it is crazy that we are taking oil from the ground to turn it into packaging that has a use case of perhaps one hour or even a week in our supermarkets, and that packaging could last for up to 1000 years, washing around

in the rivers and out to sea. this material is designed for a sustainable planet where we aren't only helping the planet by growing the seaweed but then turning it into packaging. none of this is a quick fix, but as technology and production improve, costs will come down and habits have been changing for years. where once plastic was fantastic, increasingly it is becoming historic. john maguire, bbc news, bristol. nina schrank from greenpeace ukjoins us now. good morning to you. how much of a difference will this make from october? ~ .. , , october? well, i think first it is important _ october? well, i think first it is important to — october? well, i think first it is important to say, _ october? well, i think first it is important to say, as _ october? well, i think first it is important to say, as we - october? well, i think first it is important to say, as we have i october? well, i think first it is i important to say, as we have seen from your feature, the important to say, as we have seen from yourfeature, the uk is producing a staggering amount of plastic waste. we are the second biggest producer of plastic waste in the world behind the us so it is really important that the uk government takes responsible relative for this. i do feel,

though, yes, it is a step in the right direction but it is only a small step. ifeel like we right direction but it is only a small step. i feel like we are nibbling around the edges of a giant problem by banning items at —— one by one like this. do problem by banning items at -- one by one like this.— by one like this. do you think the -ublic by one like this. do you think the public would _ by one like this. do you think the public would be _ by one like this. do you think the public would be ready _ by one like this. do you think the public would be ready for - by one like this. do you think the public would be ready for a - by one like this. do you think the i public would be ready for a massive cull of plastic? would it be able to cope with it?— cull of plastic? would it be able to cope with it? you know, i feelthat the british cope with it? you know, ifeelthat the british public— cope with it? you know, i feelthat the british public really _ cope with it? you know, i feelthat the british public really care - cope with it? you know, i feelthat the british public really care about| the british public really care about plastic and get that we are in a plastics crisis. i think there is a lot of enthusiasm to move from a throwaway society to more of a reuse society where we look at reusable options instead.— options instead. what you were sa in: is options instead. what you were saying is this — options instead. what you were saying is this is _ options instead. what you were saying is this is nibbling - options instead. what you were saying is this is nibbling around| saying is this is nibbling around the edges, but it is a start, isn't it? because to impose a complete ban on plastics would be a complete lifestyle change.— lifestyle change. unfortunately, that is the reality. _ lifestyle change. unfortunately, that is the reality. it _ lifestyle change. unfortunately, that is the reality. it is. - lifestyle change. unfortunately, that is the reality. it is. what i lifestyle change. unfortunately, | that is the reality. it is. what we need to see from the government is a

really serious comprehensive strategy, and i think where we go next is a 50% reduction on single—use plastic. we really need to start eliminating single—use plastic from example food packaging and moving into reuse. so every use target would really help and it would incentivise everybody, from schools, businesses, to the big supermarkets, to start offering shoppers reuse and refill options in their stores. shoppers reuse and refill options in theirstores. is shoppers reuse and refill options in their stores-— their stores. is there the technology. _ their stores. is there the technology, for - their stores. is there the technology, for example j their stores. is there the i technology, for example to their stores. is there the - technology, for example to store fresh fish, it is in plastic packaging, how else but that be stored for shelf life and transferring two people per matt holmes and fridges?— transferring two people per matt holmes and fridges? well, there is alwa s holmes and fridges? well, there is always good _ holmes and fridges? well, there is always good old — holmes and fridges? well, there is always good old tupperware - holmes and fridges? well, there is always good old tupperware that i always good old tupperware that people can bring into stores. you are going to the heart of the issue there, there are number of complexities but there is also real innovation right there ready to go

and i'm sure anybody that has been into a zero waste store has seen these. we really need the supermarkets to embrace the innovation is already out there and get them into their stores. we can make this real shift away from disposable plastic. this make this real shift away from disposable plastic.— disposable plastic. this is the thin . , disposable plastic. this is the thin , i disposable plastic. this is the thing. i go — disposable plastic. this is the thing, i go back— disposable plastic. this is the thing, i go back to _ disposable plastic. this is the thing, i go back to the - disposable plastic. this is the thing, i go back to the point i disposable plastic. this is the - thing, i go back to the point about whether the public is ready, you think about reusable carrier bags, for example, and we do pieces here on breakfast about people forgetting to take them to the supermarket. for most of us it is a normal thing by the idea of taking tupperware box, being that organised, especially if you want to pop in and the last minute, ijust don't you want to pop in and the last minute, i just don't see you want to pop in and the last minute, ijust don't see it happening quickly.- minute, ijust don't see it happening quickly. minute, ijust don't see it ha-henina cuickl . , ., happening quickly. yes, there are complexities. _ happening quickly. yes, there are complexities. we _ happening quickly. yes, there are complexities. we do _ happening quickly. yes, there are complexities. we do need - happening quickly. yes, there are complexities. we do need to - happening quickly. yes, there are i complexities. we do need to change the way that we live and i think the government really needs to help with this. let's not forget that the big supermarkets and the big multinational brands who are churning out this packaging, they have millions to spend on research

and development and real innovations into how we deliver, how our food is delivered to us, so i feel the government needs to help incentivise this through this key 50% reduction. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. it saturday morning, mike is here. good morning. most of us love having their neighbours around but when it is invertible, it gets spicy, splits households, communities, friendship groups, and this week it is all about the derby. 1230 kick—off at old trafford. after several seasons living in the shadow of their neighbours, manchester united fans, will pack into old trafford this lunchtime, believing, they can turn the tables again and join city in the title race. it's arguably going to be the most intense manchester derby for years, with united in form, and city needing the win, to keep leaders arsenal in their sights. patrick gearey reports.

city and united, giants scowling at each other across town, to a half miles apart, but is there a change in a landscape? might they be moving closer? four premier league points is that gap, city higher but united rising, and then tim that has been belting since they last met the neighbours in october, now they seem a team in the mould of their manager. a team in the mould of their manager-— a team in the mould of their manaeer. ., , ., , .,, , a team in the mould of their manaeer. ., , , manager. you need philosophy, you need a clear— manager. you need philosophy, you need a clear point _ manager. you need philosophy, you need a clear point where _ manager. you need philosophy, you need a clear point where you - manager. you need philosophy, you need a clear point where you want i manager. you need philosophy, you| need a clear point where you want to 90, need a clear point where you want to go, a direction, and then it is about development, and that is what we are doing and that is what we did. th we are doing and that is what we did. ~ g; ., ., did. in the 6-3 defeat at the etihad, the _ did. in the 6-3 defeat at the etihad, the still _ did. in the 6-3 defeat at the etihad, the still new - did. in the 6-3 defeat at the etihad, the still new united | did. in the 6-3 defeat at the i etihad, the still new united at did. in the 6-3 defeat at the - etihad, the still new united at -- etihad, the still new united at —— boss had a challenge on his shoulder. cristiano is now out of

now to rugby union, and leicester tigers have now it seems, started to adapt to life, after steve borthwick, who left to coach england. after struggling in the premiership recently, the tigers won 44—29, at clermont auvergne, in the champions cup — which maintains their 100% win record in the competition. propjames cronin sealed the tigers' win, with a try in the 78th minute, to send them into the last 16. now, judd trump just loves going behind in matches at the masters snooker. he says it's only when he's up against it...that he comes alive..and relaxes..so that's a warning to stuart bingham, who he will face in the semi finals, later on. trump, looked calm walking out in the quarters, against barry hawkins, but he says he was a bag of nerves but still fought back to take the match, to a final deciding frame when it was hawkins who wobbled, crucially missing, this red, handing the table back to trump. and he made no mistake, to clinch his place in the last 4. a complete contrast for bingham, who must have felt

like he was on holiday. he was so relaxed as he thrashed shaun murphy 6—0, hitting his third century of the tournament, in the final frame to finish, the clean sweep. a moment of history in hockey as england met wales, at the world cup in, india. the welsh team is made up of part time players — teachers and students for example and they were beaten 5 nil by england....who have been semi finalists at the last 3 world cup tournaments... liam ansell scored the pick of the goals, finishing off from a penalty corner, in the third quarter. so england in control of their group and up next for them, the hosts india tomorrow, while wales play spain. that should be a good one. thank you. an artist from derbyshire has created a model of the lake district

using around 200,000 pieces of lego. jon tordoff has spent around four thousand pounds creating the model, which is now on display at a library in derbyshire. he's been telling us how he came up with he idea. i have built the lake district out of lego. this is probably going back to it being the first lockdown, i just happen to pick the smallest bit of let go of the floor and i thought if you class that as ten metres high, that is the difference between the contour maps, could you convince a convincing landscape out of square

things? i think the lake district is a lovely part of the country. when i go to the legs, it is not complete without a visit to the hills. the scale is one to 3000. that makes it 19 foot long. you don't think about those things at the start of the project, that is a thing to work out later. ., . ., , ., ~' project, that is a thing to work out later. ., . ., ,, ~' ,, later. how much do you think you miaht later. how much do you think you might have _ later. how much do you think you might have spent? _ later. how much do you think you might have spent? well, - later. how much do you think you might have spent? well, i - later. how much do you think you might have spent? well, i have i later. how much do you think you . might have spent? well, i have been sa int might have spent? well, i have been saying around _ might have spent? well, i have been saying around £4000 _ might have spent? well, i have been saying around £4000 i _ might have spent? well, i have been saying around £4000 i think. - might have spent? well, i have been saying around £4000 i think. it - might have spent? well, i have been saying around £4000 i think. it will. saying around £4000 i think. it will be lovely in the end to find somewhere in the lake district for it to go. i have got a funny feeling now where i have got to, it won't stop. it is one of those projects, does it have an end? that is spectacular. who thought it could be achieved like that?

from the beauty of the lake district to the sunning that stunning skies in scotland. this is the aurora borealis, it was a great evening for it before the cloud rolled in across parts of scotland. aurora borealis is charged particles from the sun fired towards the earth, and interacts with the oxygen and the nitrogen and depending on what it interacts with depends on the colours, the greens is oxygen in the atmosphere and the reds are oxygen as well higher up in the atmosphere but when you start to see the pinks and the reds —— purples, another stunning shot from the coast of aberdeenshire, this is when it is the nitrogen that has been excited by those charged particles which are fired through the atmosphere. an amazing night last night, you properly could see it again tonight in the north of scotland in clear skies but it will be much colder there tonight than it was last night. i wish i could say it was as colourful this morning at therefore you as you start your saturday but

it is very grey and a scene from leicestershire behind me, pretty wet as well, but an improving day, the rain will ease for many of you and it will turn brighter with sunshine at times but it is going to be quite windy, begins out this morning and into western scotland later. you can see the extent of the rain as it pushed into the night, notice how it is all starting to break up in the west outset is going to become a little bit more hit and miss through the rest of this morning, although persistent rain to the channel islands south east anglia will last two lunchtime and early afternoon but elsewhere the rain turns more showery, the cloud will break up between the showers, will see some sunshine. showers more persistent this afternoon, western scotland and northern ireland weather when started rattle up, and a pretty wet afternoon in orkney as well. temperatures today, four to 10 degrees, dropping from where they are at the moment, the day is getting cooler, the wind is coming around the area of low pressure and tonight the rain starts to turn to sleet and snow across parts of

scotland and even on the hills and northern ireland, northern england and northern wales, there is a batch of cloud, pushing rain southwards and we will see snow on the upper parts of the hills. cold tonight, particular scotland, snow and ice will be an issue, and even cold as we go through to the start of next week. as this area of low pressure continues to pull away, whence from the north and they will gradually work southwards bringing the colder and colder air. tomorrow, still generally westerly wind, a few showers, cloud in three parts of wales, the midlands, outbreaks of rain, snow in the tops of the welsh hills, north of that, sunshine around for a hills, north of that, sunshine around fora time, hills, north of that, sunshine around for a time, temperatures tomorrow even down on today's three tomorrow even down on today's three to 9 degrees, colder in the wind, and as we go through sunday night, rain scrapes through the english channel, sleet and snow in the south—east, aligners snow potentially into monday morning, minus eight, minus nine in the glens

of scotland with some ice around as well. a frosty and icy stuck the week and for a time as we go into next week, it will be much colder than we have been used to so far this year, frostbite night, ice as well, especially given the fact that ground is damp at the moment, and they will be a bit of snow in places. pinpointing who will see the snow is difficult. a lot of you will stay reasonably dry with sunshine for a time. the outlook as we go into next week, flood warnings, just to give you hit —— a heads up. certainly through the rest of this coming week, temperatures in the capital city is staying in single figures throughout but by the end of the week probably lifting a little bit as we start to see the return of rain, but given the flood warnings, a bit of a bit of respite from the relentless rain will certainly be welcome.

alireza akbari is executed in iran, according to state media. rishi sunak describes it as a "callous and cowardly act", carried out by a barbaric regime. a ban on some single—use plastics will come into force in october — the latest move to tackle plastic pollution in england. labour joins calls for the forced installation of prepaid energy meters to be stopped until at least the spring, as thousands struggle to pay their bills. the gp surgeries struggling to recruit new receptionists, because of a rise in verbal abuse from patients. our reception team are taking quite a lot of abusive phone calls. lots of bad language, unfortunately. lots of blame put on them. keeping up with the neighbours... in the most important manchester derby for years, united hope to join the title race, while city in second can't afford another defeat this week. plus, there is risk of someone flooding around today,

after a thoroughly wet night. this morning's rain, though, will use for many. it's looking a bit brighter into the afternoon. but into tomorrow, set to turn colder. all the details here on breakfast. good morning. it's saturday, the 14th of january. our top story... the prime minister, rishi sunak, has described the execution of a british—iranian citizen in iran as "appalling". alireza akbari — who was a former defence minister in iran — was detained three years ago and charged with spying for britain, which he denied. this morning, iranian state media announced he'd been killed. let's now speak to our political correspondant david wallace lockhart. david, there's been reaction to this from both the prime minister and the foreign secretary. where are we at in terms of confirmation? we were saying a couple of hours ago we were hearing this through state media, iran state media. , ., �* , this through state media, iran state media. , . �* , , this through state media, iran state media. , . �*, , ., media. yes, that's right, but we now have statements _ media. yes, that's right, but we now have statements from _ media. yes, that's right, but we now have statements from both - media. yes, that's right, but we now have statements from both the i media. yes, that's right, but we now| have statements from both the prime minister and the foreign secretary would seem to confirm that the uk government believes this execution

has taken place. we take them in turn. the prime minister rishi sunak took to twitter to say he was appalled by the execution. he called it a callous and cowardly act, carried out by a barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own people. then we got a statement from the foreign secretary james cleverly on twitter. you put it in quite stark terms. iran has executed a british national. he then called the regime barbaric and said it deserved contamination in the strongest possible terms and it would not stand unchallenged. a separate statement from the foreign secretary put out fire the foreign office said they would be summoning senior iranian diplomat to make clear the uk government's discussed at iran's actions. we have heard from david lammy the shadow foreign secretary, the labour mp saying that iran must be held accountable. it does look like there are going to be some diplomatic attempts to do that. but of course, this week of the uk government through diplomatic channels was trying to prevent this

execution taking place. they don't seem to have achieved that. diplomatic relations between the uk and iran not in a good place and it is hard to see how they don't get much, much worse off the back of this execution.— this execution. david, thanks very much. some single—use plastics will be banned in england from october. takeaways, restaurants and cafes will have to stop using plastic cutlery, plates and bowls, as part of a new plan by the government to tackle plastic pollution. sean dilley reports. quick, convenient and no washing up. from october, the government says it plans to ban restaurants and cafes in england using some single—use plastics and polystyrenes. we've got a whole raft of measures on waste, trying to reduce waste in this country, and this new ban that we are announcing today is just one of a whole raft of measures to really tackle this issue.

ministers are planning to ban single—use plastic trays, cutlery, bowls, balloon sticks and some polystyrene cups and food containers as part of england's 25—year environment plan to eliminate avoidable plastic waste by 2042. in 2020, single—use plastic straws, cotton buds and stirrers were banned for sale and distribution. it's estimated that england uses 2.7 billion items of single—use cutlery each year and the majority are plastic. in 2020, plastic cutlery made it to the top—15 most littered items. england, though, is playing catch—up with other uk nations. wales approved similar measures last month — those come into effect later this year — and scotland introduced a similar ban lastjune. takeaway owners are concerned that new rules could add to their costs when bills are already high. campaigners welcome any move that reduces our carbon footprint and reduces harmful greenhouse gases but, for some,

the government's plans don't go far enough. we're second only to the us in how much plastic waste is produced per person. that means we're the second—biggest producers of plastic waste in the world, so we really need transformative change to happen, we need the government to be showing real ambition and taking the lead. we're actually looking for a 50% reduction in single—use packaging, which would lead to the kind of change we need to see. the proposed ban in england only applies to cafes and restaurants and not to single—use plastic packaging for food and drinks sold in supermarkets. the government says it's working on separate plans for these retailers to cover disposal costs from 2024. sean dilley, bbc news. explosions have been heard in kyiv this morning, and sirens are ringing out across the city. it comes after russia claims to have captured the town of soledar in ukraine after months of intense fighting. it's the first town russian forces claim to have captured since july, after six months

of military setbacks. our correspondent james waterhouse is in kyiv, we spoke to him earlier this morning. detail usually takes a bit of time to come down. but this morning, there were reports of several explosions from around 4am. concerning the, the sirens didn't go off for a couple of hours. but kyiv and other cities around ukraine are well practised and having to prepare for air strikes from either russian missiles, drones or air strikes. for air strikes from either russian missiles, drones orairstrikes. so we have reports of these explosions this morning. the authorities are saying infrastructure has been hit. in their words, more details will follow. but the advice is pretty clear that we had to get underground. so there are a number of scenarios which could be happening. you could have had air strikes coming from belarus where russia is continuing to stage troops

and fighterjets. we have seen missile strikes in the past from the caspian sea, as well as from occupied areas in the east of ukraine. it really is a threat posed from all directions. the city's air defences are pretty effective. but not completely. which is why there is that risk of missiles making it through. but also, even if missiles are taken out by air defence systems, the falling debris really does cause a threat. so we are down here for now and does and the rest of the city will wait to hear more. can you also update us on what is happening with soledar? russian claims now that it has been captured. but president zelensky insisting that fighting continues there. , ., ., , there. yes, we have got the first real clear — there. yes, we have got the first real clear claim _ there. yes, we have got the first real clear claim really _ there. yes, we have got the first real clear claim really from i there. yes, we have got the first i real clear claim really from moscow finally after so many contradictions that it now has control of what is a small salt mining town which has

been reduced to rubble. now, the jury been reduced to rubble. now, the jury is out on just how useful that town is in a military sense, but you just need to look at what is happening in russia, on russian state tv and social media channels. they are really talking up the capturing of soledar. but this has happened before. it has been six months since russia has taken locations. when that happened, kyiv made a retreat. it is hinting that it may do the same again here. why? because what happened last time was that while russia made relatively minimal gains, ukraine retook swathes of territory elsewhere. we were there last weekend and there is a lot of military activity going on. i would not be surprised to see a counter offensive on the ukrainian side elsewhere. all that is certainly what kyiv will hope to do, with the help of western weapons, which are continuing to arrive for now. , ., , which are continuing to arrive for now. ,_, .,, a 46—year—old man, who was arrested

on suspicion of the murder of natalie mcnally in county armagh, has been released on bail. natalie was 32, and was 15 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed on the 18th of december at her home in silverwood green, in lurgan. labour is calling on ministers to ban the forced installation of prepayment meters on financially stretched households until the spring. the intervention comes after citizens advice warned more than three million people across britain ran out of credit on their prepayment meter last year, because they could not afford to top up. marta newman reports. hundreds of thousands of households have found themselves forcibly switched over to more costly prepayment gas and electricity meters, afterfalling behind with their energy bills, and this is something labour wants to see temporarily banned. in a letter to the business secretary grant shapps, the shadow climate secretary,

ed miliband, says he wants the ban to last at least three months, to help those struggling to pay their bills stay warm during the colder months. labour is also calling for an urgent review into how energy vulnerability can be reduced. it also wants to put an end to the unfair penalty on prepayment meter customers by committing to additional support for them. the former labour leader, in a separate statement, labelled the forced installation of repayment meters as "shameful", saying millions of families are facing disconnection. at least let's get our hands round the problem. at the moment, we don't know who is actually eligible for protection. you get very little credit, very little leeway if you are on a prepayment meter, you get much more leeway if you are on direct debit. your numbers can go up and down. so i think the problem is that people are transferred over to these prepayment meters and then they are sort of left to their own devices and then they are self

disconnecting. according to citizens advice, an estimated 600,000 people were forced to make the switch after getting into debt with their energy supplier last year, compared with 380,000 in 2021. the government says it expects energy suppliers to do all they can to help customers who are struggling to pay their bills, and suppliers can only install prepayment meters without consent to recover debt as a last resort. marta newman, bbc news. one more story to bring you. friday the 13th might be unlucky for some, but one person in the us will be thanking their lucky stars, after winning $1.3 billion. in the mega millions draw. equivalent to more than £1 billion. it's the second—largest jackpot in the game's history.

the ticket—holder, in maine, is the only person to have matched all six numbers drawn last night, securing a prize worth up to $1.35 billion. so we were looking at statistics which you are not convinced by. if you stacked $1 bills, if you stacked 1 billion, 1.35 billion, you stacked them up, it would be nearly 68 miles high. you don't believe it, do you? no, that doesn't sound plausible. look at matt's face. it doesn't stack up, does it? that is incredible, i can't get my head around that. you haven't just around that. you haven'tjust said, no, it is not true? no, i can't get my head around it, it doesn't feel right. i don't know why. sometimes, if things don't feel right, it is because they are not right. yes. exactly. iam because they are not right. yes. exactly. i am with charlie. of course you are. how about the weather?

the weather! saturday morning, a bit grim, but it is getting better, i promise you. but some flooding after the heavy rainfall across cornwall through the night. we saw around 50 millimetres of rain if not more fall on the hills of western england under way. and since we came on air at six o'clock this morning, flood warnings have continue to rise, particularly in england. we started the programme with 80 and now up to 96 flood warnings. although the rain is easing off in the areas, takes a while for the rivers to respond. the latest flood warnings on the bbc weather website and all the information you need to cut your bbc local radio station, you can find out on bbc sounds. it will be an improving day. this is the swell of cloud bringing the rain through the night, but there is a gap behind it. if i show you the radar chart for the past 5 or 6 hours, we started with blue, the rain quite extensively, snow on the scottish hills. breaking up across many

western areas. things improving already. still showers around, western areas. things improving already. stillshowers around, but we see sunshine develop in between. there will remain grey and damp towards the south—east and across parts of east anglia and the channel islands into early or mid afternoon. and whilst we see sunshine coming up, plenty of showers in the west. western scotland and northern ireland, showers most frequent, wintry over the hills of scotland as things turned colder and persistent rain by this stage lingers across orkney, shetland, avoiding the worst of the weather throughout. 5 degrees in low—income 11 in london and temperatures dropping through the day compared to how we started this morning. —— in lerwick. tonight, the wind direction comes from the north and that turns what we have initially as rain across scotland to sleet and snow particularly over the hills. an area of rain through northern ireland to northern england and north wales through the night and north wales through the night and even that tense wintry of a higher ground. to the north of it, a chance of frost and the risk of ice given the ground are so wet. but a colder night compared with what we saw last night. just the start of a

trend to even colder air, the darker blue colours push southwards through sunday night and into monday. sunday, tomorrow a brighter day by and large. the zone of cloud through ireland into wales, the midlands, bringing outbreaks of rain and sleet and snow over the hills. showers in southern inland, the wind is westerly. northern england, much of northern ireland to scotland, a fair bit of sunshine and dry weather. frequent snow showers in the very final to scotland and feel colder —— feeling colder given the strength of the wind. sunday night, heavy rain through the english channel, we could see sleet and snow into the starter monday morning, east anglia and the south—east. that is one to watch, not a guarantee yet. but you could wake up with a good covering of snow in northern ireland and over the hills of northern england on monday morning. and waking up to an even colder start monday morning commute if you are heading out, could be as low as —8 across parts of scotland so a cold start next week. it will be cold for a while with snow in places, frost and ice

is the more widespread risk and temperatures later in the week will start to lift again. thanks, we will speak later. it is 9:16am. major beauty brands are selling make—up in the uk containing so called "forever chemicals" according to a bbc investigation. the pollutants, knowns as pfas, have been linked to serious health concerns such as cancer. they're not illegal in the uk, but an eu—wide ban was proposed by five countries yesterday. esme stallard reports. these substances contain strong bonds which cannot be broken down naturally, so as more products are used and disposed of, pfas begin ticking late in the environment, building up in our rivers, soil, and have even been detected in human blood. research is still ongoing to look at the impacts from lower levels of exposure, such as in make up. but scientists and politicians are concerned because of this cumulative effect. the eu has set a target to ban

the chemicals in consumer products within two years. the first stage of this began yesterday, with a formal proposal submitted to the chemicals agency. but in the uk, they remain legal, whilst we await a review into pfas by the health and safety executive, which is six months behind schedule. we have a lot to learn about these. dr chris smith, host of the naked scientists podcast, joins us now from cambridge. it is good to see you. before we begin, i should say i did the calculation during the weather and you are quite right, 68 miles is the height of the dollars. it you are quite right, 68 miles is the height of the dollars.— height of the dollars. it sounds implausible. — height of the dollars. it sounds implausible, but _ height of the dollars. it sounds implausible, but it _ height of the dollars. it sounds implausible, but it is. - height of the dollars. it sounds implausible, but it is. can i height of the dollars. it sounds implausible, but it is. can we i height of the dollars. it sounds i implausible, but it is. can we get a close—up on camera three of the charlie's face? no, we can't. chris, i have the greatest respect for your work, but i would need to see your workings in the situation. in a classroom situation, as they say, i would need to see your workings, have you got them or not? he has done it. i looked up the thickness of a dollar bill, 0.043

inches and there are 12 inches and a foot and 5,500 feet in a mile so if you divide 1.3 billion by those numbers, you will get to about 68 miles. i think the lesson here is, it is ok to ask questions and sometimes it is ok to be wrong. that is the lesson i think we have all learnt, which is an important lesson. it was important that you were sceptical, it is really important to always say, are you sure about that? and i salute you for saying come on, let's just check that. it is important to check facts, facts are important, well done. it is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me on this programme. but are talking about what is happening with various beauty products. just take us through the basics and what we are talking about and why there is concern. ., , talking about and why there is concern. . , ., . , concern. the family of chemicals we are considering _ concern. the family of chemicals we are considering are _ concern. the family of chemicals we are considering are these _ concern. the family of chemicals we are considering are these pfas. i concern. the family of chemicals we | are considering are these pfas. they are considering are these pfas. they are a huge family of chemicals that have transformed lives. they are

basically a chain of carbon with fluorine atoms and they are very robust chemicals, they don't break down naturally because they are really robust and strong and because they are completely man—made, nature has nothing in its tool chest to dismantle them. so once we make them and they are out there, they last a very long time and they build up on the environment. but they have wonderful characteristics and they have made the world is a great place it is in many respects because they are used in cosmetics, they are used in some health care products, they are even used in the local burger bar where when you get the hamburger in the nice cardboard box that doesn't seem to soak up the fat in the burger and doesn't soak through into your clothes, that is because it is covered in these materials which give it a nice slippery and shiny and good to feel property, the problem is, because we have begun to study these things and make them in enormous quantities around the world over many years, they are building up over many years, they are building up in the planet in various environments and we are seeing

possible connections between the use and deployment of these chemicals and deployment of these chemicals and different health outcomes, they have been linked to things like changes in the metabolism of people, a risk of cancer, changes in the birth rate of babies, possible implications for the fertility in various places, and we don'tjust see this in humans, it is in the animal world as well which is giving us insights into the impact it could have on us. this is why people are beginning to be concerned that we need to regulate or even ban outright the use of this family of chemicals. istate outright the use of this family of chemicals. . ~ ., outright the use of this family of chemicals-— outright the use of this family of chemicals. . ~ ., ., , ., chemicals. we know five european countries have _ chemicals. we know five european countries have proposed _ chemicals. we know five european countries have proposed an - chemicals. we know five european i countries have proposed an eu-wide countries have proposed an eu—wide ban which are currently legal, the uk has yet to follow suit. you have said what it does what this chemical helps basic products and makes our lives easier and more glossy. what is the alternative to allow or to enable a band to take place and not affect those things that are improving life? == affect those things that are improving life?— affect those things that are improving life? affect those things that are im-arovin life? . ,. ., affect those things that are im-arovin life? . ., ., improving life? -- a banner. part of the frustration _ improving life? -- a banner. part of the frustration is _ improving life? -- a banner. part of the frustration is connecting -

improving life? -- a banner. part of the frustration is connecting cause i the frustration is connecting cause and effect with any kind of exposure is always difficult. in order to prove something causes something else, you have to study it for a long time, have reliable experiments to connect exposure to the health outcome you are concerned about. it is not ethical to give these things to people and not give them to people and compare the two. but what we have to do is to look at the environment. animals that have been exposed, people being incidentally exposed. and in studies done in america from the last few years, in one study i read, there were between 97% and 100% of people in the study had these things detectable in their bloodstream is. so we are all being exposed, but different quantities of them at different times in our lives, to different extents. and we're all getting different outcomes. marrying up what is because of what is effect is the challenge and that's why it takes time to do this. once we have identified there is a threat or a risk, that is when you start the

process of saying we need to regulate the use of these chemicals. there will be situations where they are so useful that we have to carry on using them. but in most cases, you do find alternatives and other ways of doing what these things did before. it might be more expensive, it will involve research and development, but you find an alternative and you hope the alternative and you hope the alternative you find is notjust kicking the can down the road where we're starting this sorry story all over again with something thatjust because we don't have any evidence it is bad, we will find that out in the long run. we try to predict what is going to be safe and not environmentally destructive when we use that. �* ., , w' environmentally destructive when we use that. �* ., use that. alas quick thought. if someone has _ use that. alas quick thought. if someone has listened - use that. alas quick thought. if someone has listened to i use that. alas quick thought. if someone has listened to what| use that. alas quick thought. if. someone has listened to what you use that. alas quick thought. if- someone has listened to what you are saying and the potential for the wrists and saying, what can i do to avoid it? can i see something on the side of a packet to tell me what is in it and what to avoid, can you do anything? == in it and what to avoid, can you do an hint ? ,, in it and what to avoid, can you do an hint? ., ., , anything? -- the risks. not really, this is the — anything? -- the risks. not really, this is the reason _ anything? -- the risks. not really, this is the reason we _ anything? -- the risks. not really, this is the reason we need - anything? -- the risks. not really, this is the reason we need to i anything? -- the risks. not really, this is the reason we need to act i anything? -- the risks. not really, | this is the reason we need to act on the gross scale of the eu and the uk

and other governments at a population level because these chemicals are so ubiquitous, even penguins and seals in antarctica, thousands of miles from where these chemicals are being made, manufactured and deployed are demonstrating high levels of these things in their bodies. probably because it is accumulating through the food they are eating. goes to show they are across the planet and that's why we need to in their use everywhere so we are not all continuously expose like we are at the moment. continuously expose like we are at the moment-— continuously expose like we are at the moment. chris, thank you very much. as always, _ the moment. chris, thank you very much. as always, your— the moment. chris, thank you very much. as always, your expertise i the moment. chris, thank you veryj much. as always, your expertise in all fields is always welcome even if it puts you in an awkward position sometimes. that is fine. 9:24am is the time. some of the lesser—known stories of world war two are those of the thousands of caribbean servicemen who came to britain as volunteers. but families of those who served at raf hunmanby, in east yorkshire, hope to change this by creating a memorial to recognise their contribution. leanne brown has been to find out more. the sacrifices made by british

servicemen and women in world war ii are well documented and recognised. but thousands of volunteers who came over from other places like the west indies seem to have been forgotten. edwin samuels and gil marlaska were among thousands who made the journey from the caribbean to england serving at raf hunmanby on the east yorkshire coast. family members have been campaigning for a plaque to be placed inside the war memorial gardens in filey, but the council won't allow it. we want this to serve as a reminder to all people of the contribution made to the war effort by people of colour, there are many young people today who simply don't know that their forebears came to this country long before the windrush and helped in the war effort.

alfred gardner was an raf mechanic who came over from jamaica and, after the war, he stayed here. when they came here, it was the first time, so many of us passed through filey. it is very, very important that people remember and, you know, there were beautiful days and there were rough days. the design of the plaque in memory of those who served is ready, but it had no home until a local resident stepped in to help. i'm glad to say we have had a fantastic response from people all over the country, but particularly from people from filey, may of whom didn't know about this history and certainly didn't know about our campaign. one lady in particular has come forward, she has property in filey and she has kindly allowed us to put the plaque on her property, and i can say it is going to have a fantastic location just on the cliff path. the plaque will be unveiled in april, finally honouring those

who crossed oceans to help britain. leanne brown reporting there. it is 9:26am, we are with you until ten o'clock. matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. how are you? we have a good thing going on today. shall i tell you about it? please. good, ourspecial guest today, is the one and only oti. ., ., _, ., ., oti. you are here in colour. i had to come right. — oti. you are here in colour. i had to come right, i _ oti. you are here in colour. i had to come right, i come _ oti. you are here in colour. i had to come right, i come from i oti. you are here in colour. i had. to come right, i come from africa. yesterday. — to come right, i come from africa. yesterday. i— to come right, i come from africa. yesterday, i came from south africa so i still _ yesterday, i came from south africa so i still feel summery. nice, how was it? _ so i still feel summery. nice, how was it? it— so i still feel summery. nice, how was it? ., , so i still feel summery. nice, how was it? . , ., so i still feel summery. nice, how wasit? ., so i still feel summery. nice, how was it? ., ., was it? it was great. good, thanks for 'oinin: was it? it was great. good, thanks forjoining us- _ was it? it was great. good, thanks forjoining us. you _ was it? it was great. good, thanks forjoining us. you have _ was it? it was great. good, thanks forjoining us. you have done i was it? it was great. good, thanks forjoining us. you have done the i forjoining us. you have done the show before and you know how it works. end of the show, food heaven and few tell, what should i do? still very much almost the same, i still don't — still very much almost the same, i still don't like mushrooms, that is hell. _ still don't like mushrooms, that is hell. and — still don't like mushrooms, that is hell. and any rights like risotto. you have — hell. and any rights like risotto. you have had a bad risotto? | hell. and any rights like risotto. you have had a bad risotto? i have never liked — you have had a bad risotto? i have

hello, this is bbc breakfast. doctors say they are struggling to recruit gp receptionist because of a rise in abuse. the shortage has forced the closure of one service in york and another has had to reduce its opening hours. they are at the very front of the nhs front line. doctors, receptionists deal with people when they are sick, anxious

and frustrated, and as pressure mounts on health services they are increasingly becoming the target for abuse. i have had receptionists in tears because of verbal abuse they have received by — from patients. i understand that, i understand the public are frustrated, it is really difficult, we see long waiting in general practice but i'm not sure if there's any circumstances where i could condone being to receptionists. it is tough at the moment, really tough, and we aren't immune to it. professor mike holmes at a public meeting in a village in york, there was standing—room only at about 250 patients came to the meeting with those running the local gp surgery. it is open now four hours a day are many patients say they struggled to get help with long waits to see doctors, and difficulty getting through to the surgery. others said they have been told

to call 111 instead. the surgery says the problem is lack of receptionist. the haxby group runs six gp services in york and across the group they have just half of the receptionists, and patient services and staff that they need. it means that there are nine vacancies, and as a direct result this surgery closed temporarily last year and is not reopened. those in poppleton were told of the huge pressure the surgery was under but were reassured it wasn't going to close. yes, we got some answers, some expected, some slightly unexpected. the service we have had is pretty poor in my opinion. yeah, i am leave out of disgust really because it is just rambling on. opening forfour hours a day is not on. lots of problems, government level, more money, more this, more that, patients are living longer so what are we supposed to do? the future of

stockton—on—the—forest is unclear. recruitment for a new receptionists is ongoing but wages offered are low. verbal abuse it seems has become part of the job. this is what others have told us. we feel like we are getting a lot more aggression down the phone to our reception. our reception team are taking quite a lot of abuse in phone calls, lots of bad language unfortunately, lots of blame put on them. the receptionist is the first person the patient will speak to. if they are struggling or upset, unable to get an appointment or worried about something our reception staff can receive the brunt of that frustration. the message from all of those behind the reception desk is please be calm and kind. the haxby group says demand for its services has increased by 50% and it is trying to reopen all of its surgeries all day, five days a week. olivia richwald, bbc news, york.

it is just after 9:30am. there are big football game is happening this weekend. yes. look how excited you are. the manchester derby. arsenal tottenham tomorrow and today at old trafford the manchester derby. things have shifted in the sand for the first time in a long time. manchester united are the team with the momentum going into this one so old trafford will be full of expectation. pep guardiola says he is pleased the neighbours from old trafford are competitive once more, that may my decay is better when today may take united into a point of safety. there is a lot riding on this one, as patrick gearey reports. city and united, giants scowling

at each other across town, two and a half miles apart, but is there a change in a landscape? might they be moving closer? four premier league points is the gap, city higher but united rising, a momentum that has been building since they last met the neighbours in october. now they seem a team in the mould of their manager. i think you need a clear vision, you need a clear philosophy, you need a clear point where you want to go, a direction, and then it is about development, and that is what we are doing and that is what we did. in the 6—3 defeat at the etihad, the still new united boss had a challenge over his shoulder. cristiano ronaldo, then on the fringes, is now out of the picture. a figure from the club's past. ten hag lost a player but made a point. he has brought this discipline back to the team that hasn't been seen at old trafford probably since sir alex ferguson retired so complacency started to creep in and i think it is testament to his management, look how they way

he dealt with cristiano ronaldo, as to why they are where they are. it is the job at the manager to keep their players sharp, even manchester city where two titles in a row has made success normal and normal can become routine. city's efl cup defeat to southampton at the bottom of the premier league sounded the boss' alarm. after back—to—back two times, this could happen, it normally happen. i am not talking about winning carabao cup, i am not talking about winning games. we must behave how we do in every single game. unfortunately, i was a little bit concerned that this could happen, unfortunately it happened, i don't know if it will happen again. too much success is a nice problem to have, as is a striker with 27 goals. some people feel this season's addition of erling haaland, master goalscorer, has disrupted the rhythm of a band that is used to having no front man. are they still adapting to the luxury? imagine haaland next season,

his goals might not be as many but his contribution to the team could be stronger so it is going to take time but because his goal record is there, sometimes that changes the game anyway. city's margin for error is shrinking. if the two sides at manchester are even closer by monday, there is the chance that leaders arsenal might be further away. patrick gearey, bbc news. aston villa may have been dumped by stevenage but their rise up the premier league continues. it took villa three minutes to open up the rather fragile lead against leeds. leeds cursed var for not getting a penalty, villa doubled their lead when the technology ruled a header

should be counted after initially being ruled out. villa held on, to the delight of their manager. the leeds boss is under increasing pressure. the australian open starts tomorrow and cameron norrie, we hope the end of his winning streak doesn't knock his confidence. he had won the six opening matches of the season but missed out on a fifth atp title. he now has a tight turnaround before his first match in melbourne on monday. to rugby union, leicester tigers fans, there is life after the coach left. they won 44—29 at clermont. this was in the champions cup and it maintained their 100% when record in the competition. james cronin sealing the win with a try in the 78th minute to send them into the last 16, and this was the moment

that mattered. they are putting their premiership troubles behind them, leicester, moving on in europe and finally getting used to life without their previous coach. judd trump might hope he is losing the semifinal to stuart bingham later today in the snow clad because he says it is only a —— when he's up against it that he manages to relax. here he is looking calm. he says he was a bag of nerves until going behind when he found his form and hawkins wobbles in the final frame. trump clinched his place in the last four. in contrast, life is a breeze for bingham as he thrashed shaun murphy 6—0. trump, bingham, and a

fact we saw rain throughout the uk overnight, flood warnings have continued to rise, details on the bbc one website. you can find your local station on bbc sounds. flood warnings continue to go out even though the rain has eased, he will the imagery, you can see the breaks in the cloud. the rain whilst it was extensive has cleared away from these western areas, you can see it has become a bit more erratic before it completely goes but there is more persistent rain in the south coast, going to run towards east anglia and the south—east, more persistent rain in the north of scotland which will linger around orkney all day long but other parts of eastern scotland will brighten up, sunshine coming through, you may have to wait until late afternoon in some parts of the south—east before you see the sun. elsewhere, sunny spells for the rest of the day, scattering of showers, shallots frequent through the afternoon in scotland and northern where the winds could go up to 60

months our around the coast. temperatures will drop for many. shallots could turn to sleet and snow over the hills. the winds go more northerly and that will drink batches of cloud and rain, sleet, is hill snow southwards even affecting northern ireland and northern england and the hills of wales, too. temperatures down on last night and the risk of frost and ice predicting where you see clever skies later across scotland. sunday and next week, the chart shows the general air mass where the air is coming from, how cold or warm it is, the blue colours indicating colder conditions heading our way, that begins on sunday, north of this bank of cloud, literally. a bit of sleet and snow over the hills can potentially, sunny spells and rain showers, to the north of it, drier weather but frequent snow showers in the north of scotland where they will be an added wind chill but for all even colder than today. three

sunday night, bank of rain pushes through the channel, if that interacts with a cold air, sleet and snow possible across south—east england and east anglia into monday morning, a covering of snow across northern england and northern ireland as you wake up but clear skies to the north of it, a cold start to the new week. temperatures as low as minus eight, minus nine sunday night into monday morning and given the fact that the ground is so wet everywhere, they could be icy conditions, so for a time next week, it will be colder, some frost and ice around and there will be a chance of snow at times, it won't be everywhere, a lot of places will stay reasonably dry but compared to the wet weather we have got at the moment, we are breaking that regime a little bit so things will be nowhere near as wet until things turn milder and a bit damp later in the week. thanks, matt, enjoy the rest of the weekend. i will, youtoo. we have spoken a lot about the issue of prepayment meters, people being

forced to go on them as they struggled to keep up with their energy bills. a charity in east yorkshire says it is spending more than £1000 a month to help households which can't afford to top up prepayment meters. this community centre says it has seen a number of people —— the number of people increase who need help. behind every door, the rising gust of living is being felt. i am of living is being felt. i am -auttin of living is being felt. i am putting £100 _ of living is being felt. i am putting £100 on _ of living is being felt. i am putting £100 on every - of living is being felt. i am| putting £100 on every day. of living is being felt. i am - putting £100 on every day. gemma of living is being felt. i am _ putting £100 on every day. gemma is the roud putting £100 on every day. gemma is the proud mum _ putting £100 on every day. gemma is the proud mum of— putting £100 on every day. gemma is the proud mum of three _ putting £100 on every day. gemma is the proud mum of three but - putting £100 on every day. gemma is the proud mum of three but she - putting £100 on every day. gemma is the proud mum of three but she has. the proud mum of three but she has been full to come here for help. i been full to come here for help. i don't like asking and i am not a person to ask for anything, i felt i could do better in myself. ifelt i had let my family down because i am trying to keep the roof over,
