6:13 am
last night, but with the cold air, as you will see, comes a few extra hazards. now, the cold air, shown by the blue colours, notice how it takes hold throughout the next few days. and with the winds coming out of the north, there is going to be notjust rain that falls of the north, there is going to be not just rain that falls from of the north, there is going to be notjust rain that falls from the sky, but also a little bit of snow. we have some snow showers in the north of scotland, a bit of snow mixed in on the hills, rain showers to the south—west, some of those every comic heavy and thundery, they will continue through this morning. that band of cloud, rain and hill sleet and snow pushing into wales and the midlands as we go through the day, generally fizzling. a few outbreaks of rain into the west of northern ireland. a few snow showers into the north of scotland. windiest into the north of scotland. windiest in the second half of the country —— not another country, winds gusting around some of the hills and coast. that will add to the shield. temperatures down on what we have sensory past few days. as we go through the evening at overnight, there is a sign will see some rain spreading its way through the english channel. could be some sleet and snow. the main chance of snow will across the scottish eels and across the pennines, butjust if
6:14 am
that area of rain is a bit further north, it could become a rain and snow mix across the southern counties of england, which could have a bit of an impact into the monday morning rush hour. 0nly have a bit of an impact into the monday morning rush hour. only a low risk, but one to bear in mind, and check the forecast later. i away from that, widespread frost, and temperatures around minor —9 to start monday in some parts of scotland. there is that rain and limited snow risk to the south—east clearing away. as i said, it could only be limited to the very far south—east to begin with. wintry flows in the south—east to begin the day, the greatest chance of snow to the north—west, and most of you will have a dry and bright day with some sunshine, getting chilly though. temperatures struggling to around one to three celsius for a fair view. as we go through monday night into tuesday, the chance of another area of low pressure getting close towards the south—west. that will bring, again, a greater risk of some rain and maybe a bit of snow. it looks like that will quickly push away towards the channel islands and into france. the winds a little bit later on tuesday, snow flurries
6:15 am
mainly limited around the north and the uk. most of you will have a dry and bright day once again. if not another cold day, temperaturesjust another cold day, temperatures just another cold day, temperaturesjust a couple of degrees above freezing. where the wind is strongest across the north, there will be an added shield. cold air through much of this week, but there is a sign towards the end of the week that milder weather with the rain will return. but at least for the time being we have a bit of harassment from the relentless rain we have seen over the past week or two. thank you very much, cold weather to come, so we will make sure we keep you in touch with all that over the coming days. iran is facing international condemnation, after the execution of a british iranian national. former defence minister alireza akbari was arrested in 2019 and convicted of spying for the uk, which he denied. we can now speak to mr akbari's nephew, ramin forghani. thank you very much for talking with
6:16 am
us. first of all, how are you? how is the family? good morning, thank you for having me. i think they are trying to address the situation, what happened yesterday. it is a difficult time. as you may imagine it is quite shocking. i really hope that we don't see that continue with other nationals. ., ,., , .., , ., , nationals. the reason his case was alerted to the _ nationals. the reason his case was alerted to the world _ nationals. the reason his case was alerted to the world just _ nationals. the reason his case was alerted to the world just in - nationals. the reason his case was alerted to the world just in the - alerted to the world just in the past week is because his wife was invited to come and see him for a final visit. invited to come and see him for a finalvisit. i invited to come and see him for a final visit. i don't know if you have spoken to her about that and how he seemed when she saw him? this how he seemed when she saw him? is far how he seemed when she saw him? sis far as how he seemed when she saw him? is far as i how he seemed when she saw him? sis far as i understand it, how he seemed when she saw him? sis faras i understand it, my how he seemed when she saw him? sis far as i understand it, my aunt did notjoin the invitation, as you can understand, because of the threat,
6:17 am
but other family have attended that visit. it is horrible. it isjust not something that anyone wants to go through, no family wants to experience that. it is a violation of human rights and basically it undermines somebody�*s right to life, you know, taking somebody�*s life away without leaving choice for them. a lot of people would not quite understand. he was iran's deputy defence minister for a understand. he was iran's deputy defence ministerfor a number understand. he was iran's deputy defence minister for a number of years. how did he get from that position to being accused of spying for the uk? what were the precise charges against him, do you know? in my opinion it was a fabricated case, the country is in a very complex situation right now on multiple fronts, internally and
6:18 am
internationally. we have the protest going down across the country for a good few weeks which has created a whole lot of trouble for the country. many people have been arrested and executed already. 0n the front we have iran's inaudible ongoing discussions for the renewable and also recently had the uk government's decision announced for listing the islamic revolutionary guard corps as a terrorist organisation, so the only explanation that i can contemplate, considering, as you said, the back of my uncle add, he was involved with the foundation of that from the beginning, involved with the iran—iraq war, and also help bring peace to the countries. afterwards he was involved with the ministry of defence and national security council. holding high level
6:19 am
positions, as somebody that was very well—connected at the top of the regime the only explanation that i can find that was an inner fight between different sides, the regime, but also a way to distract internal and international attention from the troubles of the regime is experiencing by creating plots against my uncle. he experiencing by creating plots against my uncle.— experiencing by creating plots against my uncle. he said, your uncle said _ against my uncle. he said, your uncle said he _ against my uncle. he said, your uncle said he had _ against my uncle. he said, your uncle said he had been - against my uncle. he said, your - uncle said he had been interrogated and tortured by intelligence agencies for more than 3500 hours. now the british government did come out and condemn the actions and the execution. rishi sunak described it as a callous and cowardly act carried out by barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own people. is there anything more now that you would like to see
6:20 am
from the international community? i think the uk government did quite well in terms of raising the case at the highest level. as you said, that the highest level. as you said, that the prime minister and foreign secretary were both quite active since the case became public and also they put out the strongest statements yesterday but it wasn't limited to statements, the prosecutor—general of the iranian revolution has been sanctioned by the uk since yesterday, the charged affair of in london has been summoned by the foreign office and the british ambassador has been recalled by tehran, so there have already been strong diplomatic signs coming, but i think why that matters in this case is to continue for the decision of listing revolution regarded as a terrorist organisation. i think this was a major player in the decision of
6:21 am
bringing the sentence forward to somehow for the regime to influence the british decision. the impression is to continue and i think inaudible . we wish you and your family all the potholes are one of the biggest nuisances for motorists and cyclists and following the recent bad weather, the problem is getting worse. now, the rac says vehicle breakdowns caused as a direct result of potholes, have risen by almost a quarter in the past three months. aileen clarke has been looking at the issue on scotland's roads. a busyjunction on the pollock area of glasgow, this taxidriver pointing the issue. and this pothole became a very big issue for stephen maxwell as he was driving to work at half past four on monday morning. you

seeing on the pitch. they were beaten by southampton which piled on the pressure on frank lampaert. let's have a look at what happened in the game itself. southampton turned it around. all competitions without victory. here are the pictures of the everton supporters showing their discontent, this planet in protest after the match. the manager only too aware of the problems his side is facing. the phil lloyd is there and things that we can control as players and staff to prepare and do the right thing. today we have to be in the game so, yes. 50 thing. today we have to be in the game so. yes-— thing. today we have to be in the game so, yes. so none of the border here today — game so, yes. so none of the border here today because _ game so, yes. so none of the border here today because of— game so, yes. so none of the border here today because of safety - here today because of safety concerns, what was your reaction to the news? i concerns, what was your reaction to the news? , ., , s, the news? i spoke about it before the news? i spoke about it before the game- — the news? i spoke about it before the game- it _ the news? i spoke about it before the game- it is — the news? i spoke about it before the game. it is a _ the news? i spoke about it before the game. it is a difficult - the news? i spoke about it before the game. it is a difficult period, | the game. it is a difficult period, there is so much passion at this club, for various reasons, the right reasons, everybody wants the best

not only liveable, i can't remember. —— liveable. manchester united moved to within six points of leaders arsenal with a dramatic 2—1 win over neighbours manchester city at old trafford. city had looked to have got the better of it when they took the lead throuthack grealish, but united staged a thrilling comeback, helped by this controversial equaliser from bruno fernandes. he was onside, but marcus rashford in the build—up was offside. after initially being disallowed the goal did stand, and rashford himself went on to score the winner — his eighth goal in seven games. i'll side, fernando is not intervened rashford to distract the keeper, sent to the defender, it is what it is, but we know where we play. it is here, at stadiums, we know exactly where we play.

6:30 am
performance today, we haven't been able to bring something out of the game which has been quite irregular. west everton next weekend. celtic are into the scottish league cup final, the holders beating kilmarnock 2—0 at hampden. daizen maeda scored celtic�*s opener, albeit with some help of a poor clearance by kyle lafferty. kilmarnock did have chances to level it but celtic also had two goals disallowed, before sealing their place in the final with a goal in stoppage time from giorgos giakomakis. rangers and aberdeen play in the other semifinal today. england captain 0wen farrell has been cleared to play in their six nations opener against scotland after he completes his ban for a dangerous tackle. against bristol bears on 28 january. the rfu said he will be available for saracens' game

6:32 am
losing a frame. williams knocked out ronnie 0'sullivan in the quarterfinals. i don't think i am a better pot, nowhere near. i can't pot the balls are used to. i used to pot ridiculous balls when i used to flashed the nugget back in the day, but i can't pot as much so i have to rely on other parts. i still go for crazy shots, don't get me wrong. i have just learnt to be a better all—round player, really, and i think that's why i'm still sort of at the top. the first tennis grand slam gets going later tonight, the australian open. emma raducanu says she is in a good place and ready to take part at the australian open. her participation was in doubt after she rolled her ankle in auckland ten days ago. andy murray, meanwhile, says he is ready to make a statement at the australian open. he has been runner—up five times in melbourne. he has a tough first—round match
6:33 am
against world number 14 matteo berrettini. my my movement and stuff was significantly better than what it would have been at this stage last year, so, you know, when i move well i tend to play well, and it's really important for me. and that's probably been the thing i've been happiest about since i got here. a tough draw for andy murray against a former wimbledon finalist. tough as well orjack draper, who gets going against rafael nadal. kyle edmonds has to play against a tough opponent. coco gauff will be playing in round two. that opponent. coco gauff will be playing in round two-— in round two. that depends on her fitness. in round two. that depends on her fitness- she _ in round two. that depends on her fitness. she does _ in round two. that depends on her fitness. she does say _ in round two. that depends on her fitness. she does say it _ in round two. that depends on her fitness. she does say it depends l in round two. that depends on herl fitness. she does say it depends on feelin: fitness. she does say it depends on feeling better— fitness. she does say it depends on feeling better after _ fitness. she does say it depends on feeling better after rolling - fitness. she does say it depends on feeling better after rolling her- feeling better after rolling her ankle. she says she wants to work long—term, raducanu, with a specific fitness coach. that has been a focus, keeping a stable team around

6:38 am
and we're talking tortoise on the coast of senegal. why is he called bill, can i ask? i because he arrived the month where bill clinton was elected. so you are named after a president! | hello, and welcome to morocco and the historic city that's sometimes known as the country's cultural capital, fez. from its medinas and mosques to its madrassas, fez
6:39 am
is steeped in cultural heritage — so much so that the medina of fez is listed as a world heritage site. mind—blowing! absolutely incredible. this is the attarine madrasa. it goes back to the 14th century, and it is perhaps the best example of what they call zellij. zellij is a style of mosaic tile work made from individually hand—chiselled pieces that is found all across morocco, as well as parts of tunisia, algeria and southern spain. the detail — tiny, tiny detail. the art form dates back over 1,000 years, but the more intricate and colourful designs, which have become synonymous with moroccan architecture, were developed in the 14th century.
6:40 am
6:41 am
authorities here have long wanted to formalise zellij�*s moroccan connection. it's not uncommon for countries to do this by gaining un—recognised intangible cultural heritage status. for example, the french recently achieved this with the humble baguette, as have jamaica with reggae music. but in the case of zellij, morocco went a stage further and insisted on having it patented. it's part of a drive to protect the country's assets from cultural appropriation and commercialisation. we call it the positive protection, and that is just to protect their traditional knowledge or, in this case, cultural expression from other people using it in a different way and exploiting them. it's not black and white, there is a lot of nuances. the use of traditional culture, expressions of knowledge. what is black and white is the threat to its future. the skilled craft is facing
6:42 am
competition from cheaper mass production and fewer people interested in taking up the practice. i travelled to a traditional workshop just outside the medina to find out just what goes in to this ancient process. how many of these do you think he does, every... every day? yeah. so, every day, it depends if, for example... he can make up to 1,000 pieces a day. has he ever banged his fingers? they chat no, never. never? sayyid's craft skills were learnt as a boy — and some zellij producers are worried that these techniques will not be passed down to future generations. and that's partly because pay and working conditions are not as attractive as in other industries. sayyid earns around
6:43 am
12 euros a day. so, as you've seen, he's doing this by hand as well. yeah, look at that. nothing else. wow — and, again, this is exactly the same way they've been doing this for hundreds of years. apprenticeships can take up to a decade. and for most people, it's a lifelong dedication. so we do have our artisans who work as a couple, 0k? the first one who is the one responsible of cutting the tile, as you're seeing here, with this specific type of stencil, 0k? you just take the shape of it, the design of it. he starts cutting it one by one, piece by piece, with a sharp hammer. i don't know who i think i am, but i'm going to have a go at trying to create a shape from this. and apparently you have to sit down exactly the way this guy was sitting down before. so here we go. it can take six months just to achieve the correct sitting position, let alone try to cut and shape the tiles.
6:44 am
you're doing a greatjob! am i doing a greatjob? oh, there we go. well, i tried. after assembling all the pieces, we'll bring them all the way to another artisan who is responsible of putting the pieces next to each other. every single piece, it's like a type of puzzle. so what does 0thmane think about morocco's successful claim of ownership of zellij? morocco is very well known when it comes to its culture and traditions, and the heritage, the culture of the heritage that we have, is typically moroccan, and those artisans that we're talking about are typically moroccan as well. as for the future, it's hoped that the craft — with its new protected status — will survive, thrive, and proudly proclaim "made in morocco".
6:45 am
now, if you're thinking of taking a trip to morocco in 2023, here are some travel show tips as to things you might want to see and do. now, did you know that morocco is the very first country on the african continent to build a high—speed railway? whipping along at 320km per hour, the al boraq service will take you from tangier in the north to the capital, rabat, and down to casablanca in around two hours. that's less than half the time of the older network. and there are plans afoot to expand the line to marrakech and fez, and eventually
6:46 am
to other major cities. if you're into photography, then head to chefchaouen — considered one of the prettiest and most photogenic places in morocco. nicknamed the "blue pearl" for its traditional blue—and—white painted houses, the city sits at the foothills of the rif mountains in the north of the country. and if you're visiting, don't forget your hiking boots for a trip up the surrounding mountains. you'll be rewarded with spectacular views of the city from above and another perfect photo opportunity. now, something that's highly recommended notjust here in fez, but all across morocco, is the traditional mint tea. especially good after a heavy meal. served as a sign of hospitality, it's made of fresh peppermint, water, sugar and green tea, and is said to have healing properties. stick around because after the break, there'll be more from morocco — plus...
6:47 am
does that hurt, or is thatjust like getting your ears pierced? it's going to hurt, but it's going to... save your life at the same time. yeah. we meet the man bringing west africa's turtles back from the brink of extinction. this is bab boujloud. it's one of the seven gateways into this walled city, the medina. and my task, my challenge, is to go from here to another gateway, another of the seven gateways, as quickly as possible. now, you may say, "very easy." i think you might be wrong because there are 9,000 alleyways here, which makes it the biggest medina in the world. am i allowed to look at google maps? no, i'm not.
6:48 am
i think that is actually going down a blind alley. i'm not going to do that. 0h, now, we've got some choices to make. no, that way, i think. i saw a sign earlier on which said "no donkeys". this guy has got through somehow. but some people who are actually born within the city walls never leave the city walls during their lifetime. whoa! there's a man in more of a hurry than even me. some of these hats would be perfect. honestly, this is the kind of place i would stop at if i had time. but i have not got time. thank you so much. this is a square called seffarine. and as you can hear...
6:49 am
..this is the original tin pan alley. we have walked from one gate to another through the medina of fez. and can i say it's been an experience? next up, wejoin nick kwek on his culinary quest to find the real taste of turkey. kayseri, a city bang in the middle of turkey, which once upon a time was part of the old spice route. today, it's mostly known for its neighbour, cappadocia, the ancient land of fairy chimneys. but for me, the food is what makes the destination. i grew up in the kitchen. my parents ran chinese restaurants in scotland, so my childhood was a constant mix of cultures, tastes and flavours. and now i'm on a mission
6:50 am
to uncover more authentic dishes and ingredients from around the world. what's lured me here is a delicacy that dates back over 1,000 years. a meat called pastirma, which is this dried beef, a speciality only found in this region. and it's still prepared here the old—fashioned way. pastirma is as important to this area as parma ham is to italy, and it's mount erciyes, which towers over the city, that creates the perfect climate to cure the meat. i can't wait to taste it for the first time. hello, how are you? lovely to meet you, i'm nick, how are you? taking me behind the scenes is hulya, whose granddad started this factory back in the '505. and the way they prepare pastirma here is still true to tradition. vegetarians, you may want to look away. this is the first stage of the process where they put loads of salt onto the beef. and this is an entire
6:51 am
bath of beef. the salt kills the bacteria and then the meat is hung out to dry, not in the refrigerator, but the good old sun. and, lastly, chaman — a paste made from a mix of spices — is lathered onto the meat. the precise recipe is closely guarded, but the extra special ingredient here is the human touch. it's a dying art — ahmet tells me there are very few chaman masters coming through the ranks. such a recurring theme across the board in food, when you have a delicacy such as this, there's only a handful of people left that really are perfecting the art of making it. the rest of it's just becoming commercialised. 0k, down the hatch. flavourful and spicy.
6:52 am
yet in recent times, pastirma's fallen out of fashion. so, i'm taking some to istanbul, to a chef who wants to change that. i'm at the newly renovated galataport — home to some of the city's best restaurants. chef umut is taking traditional turkish classics and reinvigorating them, giving them a bit of a modern upgrade in the form of small tapas. chef umut! yes. lovely to meet you. how are you? welcome. great to meet you. this is for you — it's the pastirma. for me? what's on the menu? this is baklava pastirma. wow! sweet dessert pastry mixed with salty, meaty beef? the beefy baklava crackers will be topped with hummus, mushrooms and more pastirma. we're also pickling pastirma and serving it with a fig chutney.
6:53 am
i've never had pickled beef before. watch your fingers. wow, look how green it is! your dishes are so colourful. it reminds me of roald dahl�*s george's marvellous medicine. cheers. welcome. great to meet you. oh, wow! and the result? absolutely sensational! who knew? by re—imagining old ingredients, umut has created something both fresh and, at the same time, classic. finally this week, we're off to west africa on the trail of one nature lover who's celebrating 30 years of protecting some of the region's most vulnerable wildlife. some call him the father of the turtles and his work may have already rescued one species of terrapin from extinction.
6:54 am
we sent emeline nsingi nkosi to meet him close to his home in senegal. about three hours' journey south, away from the traffic and chaos of senegal�*s capital, the dust and aridity begins to give way to greenery. mangroves and, crucially, seagrass start appearing here along the coastline and the wildlife becomes more abundant and precious for all number of reasons. turtles, tortoises and terrapins have been a big part of west african traditions and symbolisms and in some tribes, they are revered as being a good luck charm, a good omen — which is why it's so surprising that their numbers have been going down so much. all five species of sea turtles that nest on these beaches are endangered, thanks to fishing activities and pollution, but this man's made it his mission to save them. i'm going to put a tag and after that, we are going
6:55 am
to let it go. 0h, let me remove that little sand for you. now, you can breathe clearly! why the tagging — i mean, why is it done? with that, we can track the migratory pattern for the animals. when we know that, we are going to be more accurate in the strategy we need to implement in order to save this species. ah! because the more you know about the species, the more you are going to be able to save them. ifeel like i need to hold my breath. 0h, breathe in! does that hurt or is thatjust like getting your ears pierced? yeah, it's going to hurt but it's going to... save your life at the same time? yeah. tomas is about to celebrate 30 years of working with turtles in senegal. his work has brought him awards and recognitions from around the world. he's so gentle with it. i mean, he's — you can see that these turtles actually are his babies.
6:56 am
that's quite an impressive sight — i've never seen it and i'm sure all of these people haven't either. everyone literallyjust ran down to the beach and see this release. tomas started as a teenager, rescuing african spurred tortoises — the second—biggest species in the world. since then, his work in northern senegal has saved the last remaining colony of adanson's terrapin from collapse. and these days, he's working on a new encyclopaedia and planning the continent's biggest turtle research facility on a plot near his home. it's a big project. we are going to take several years and a lot of fundraising, a lot of work in order to have a facility who will be like a base camp for everyone who wants to get involved in conservation, turtle conservation, in africa. what would you like
6:57 am
your legacy to be? my legacy will be africa and africans who value nature, who want to protect nature, understanding nature is part of our identity. and as an african, this is the place where, like, as david attenborough was saying, this is the kingdom of wilderness. all the kind of amazing animals, like turtle and tortoise, who emerged from africa 260 million years ago, they need to remain in africa, africa needs to be their paradise. 0n the outskirts of dakar, in the back yard of his dad's old farm, tomas has built this village of the tortoises. it's popular with tourists and school groups but it's also a hospitalfor sick and injured turtles. you see the remains of the place where they dig or they draw a hole in order to put a rope to attach the turtle.
6:58 am
wait, why was a rope attached to the turtle? yeah, because when you have them in captivity and you don't want them to dig in the middle of your lawn... oh, no! ..you want to have it like a rope in order to control the animals. but now, tomas is taking me to see the head honcho here. this is bill. so, does bill know you? no... would you say that he...? usually, turtles are not like dogs. they don't celebrate you like my dog celebrates me when i come back at home. ok. but at the same time... and that is frustrating because i spend more time and more energy serving them than my dog. she laughs that is the reality. he's between 70—80 years old, and he and tomas go way back. so, you saw bill in the zoo when you were a teenager? a teenager, yeah. wow. because i spent a lot of time going to the dakar zoo — in fact, that was my favourite place to go. why is he called
6:59 am
bill, can i ask? because he arrived the month where bill clinton was elected. so, you are named after a president. laughs. i hope you feel the weight of your name. yeah! you don't hear much about terrapins and tortoises but tomas has dedicated his life trying to correct that and make sure that they don't go extinct. and you know what? i've got a feeling that he just might win. what a truly remarkable man doing such important work there in senegal. what a remarkable man. join us next time when... with the rising cost—of—living high on the agenda for many of us in planning holidays we will find out if you can travel like our team and still have leftover change in your pocket. from
7:00 am

7:04 am
vehicle that drove past here and those shots were fired from a car that then fled the scene. now, that seven—year—old was shot and, as you heard, she is in a critical condition in hospital. now, police say that no arrests have been made. they have appealed for witnesses in this shooting that happened in broad daylight on a saturday afternoon at one of the busiest parts of london. thank you very much, louisa. some breaking news on breakfast. at least 16 people have died in an airplane crash in nepal. the yeti airline aircraft was flying from the capital, kathmandu, and crashed near the tourist town of pokhara. 72 people were on board including ten foreign nationals, and a rescue operation is currently underway. we will bring you any developing
7:05 am
details as we get them throughout the morning. at least 18 people have been killed in a russian missile strike on an apartment block in the ukrainian city of dnipro. dozens of others were injured in the attack, which is said to be the worst in months. it follows a wave of fresh strikes targeting ukraine's power infrastructure. let's speak now to our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse. hejoins us now he joins us now with the latest. what do we know about the strikes? it wasn't specifically on infrastructure, was it, in dnipro? i think that's right. i think the scenes of smoking rubble and twisted metal that we are seeing in what once was an apartment block are really a reminder that, despite the strategic aims of russia's missile strikes, it is civilians and civilian areas which often come in harm's way. we hadn't seen a missile strike like this since new year's day, and in the broader scheme of
7:06 am
things in this war, two weeks is a relative reprieve. but let mejust go through yesterday's wave of attacks in numbers for you, because i it will give you the sense of scale. this is according to ukrainian authorities. russians are said to have used 38 types of missiles, 69 were launched from multiple launches from the ground, 41 from sea and air. 0ut multiple launches from the ground, 41 from sea and air. out of those, 26 were shot down. now, you can usually tell it is an intense attack from the amount of time you have to spendin from the amount of time you have to spend in a shelter. here in kyiv, we were told in no uncertain terms to get underground. it's a lot easier thanit get underground. it's a lot easier than it was for a lot of people a year ago, when many were going through the trauma of their country being invaded. this time around its more of an annoying routine, but of course there is a grim reality above ground. locations right across ukraine were targeted at a time when ukrainians were celebrating the traditional new year. there is

7:08 am
minimum levels of service in areas like the nhs when strikes are taking place, but that legislation is very early in its parliamentaryjourney at the moment. the government stressing that1 million nhs workers in the past year have received at least a £1400 extra. meanwhile, the labour leader. _ least a £1400 extra. meanwhile, the labour leader, keir— least a £1400 extra. meanwhile, the labour leader, keir starmer, - least a £1400 extra. meanwhile, the labour leader, keir starmer, has i labour leader, keir starmer, has been setting out his party's plan for the health service. has he come out with any specifics?— out with any specifics? well, it is a very interesting _ out with any specifics? well, it is a very interesting article, - out with any specifics? well, it is a very interesting article, it i out with any specifics? well, it is a very interesting article, it is i out with any specifics? well, it is a very interesting article, it is a i a very interesting article, it is a punchy article he has today on the sunday telegraph, and is it he says if we don't get real about reform, the nhs will die. the idea of the nhs being the envy of the world is plainly wrong. when it comes to specifics, he wants to expand the nhs workforce. he wants more gps working directly for the nhs, and he wants people to be able to self refer themselves to specialists for treatment. he dismisses those who think labour's job treatment. he dismisses those who think labour'sjob is, in his words, to merely defend public services. so i think really trying to sell himself there to people who haven't
7:09 am
traditionally voted labour in the past, and perhaps to stress that, there are pieces in the sunday telegraph. it is traditionally a paper on the right, so not somewhere a labour leader would go to speak to their natural voters, but 20 of people who read this article may think the last thing the nhs in england needs is another reorganisation at this point. david, thank ou reorganisation at this point. david, thank you very _ reorganisation at this point. david, thank you very much. _ let usjoin matt let us join matt for a look at the weather. , s, s, s, let us join matt for a look at the weather. i s, s, s, s, i s, weather. very good morning to you. we will be digging — weather. very good morning to you. we will be digging out _ weather. very good morning to you. we will be digging out the _ weather. very good morning to you. we will be digging out the jumpers i we will be digging out the jumpers again this week. after a mild start of the year, things turning colder. noticing that feel throughout the day, and for one or two of you, there will be a few wintry showers around as well. chiefly on the hills. let me show you what has been happening so far. snow showers in scotland, a bit on the tops of the pennines, pushing through the peak district. mainly hail, with showers and the odd rumble of thunder towards the south—west and the channel islands. they will continue through the day. pretty windy across the south. as well as cloud,
7:10 am
outbreaks of rain pushing southwards into wales and fizzles in turns a bit wetter to the south—west of northern ireland. but for many of you, today drier and brighter than yesterday. but as i said, quite windy across the southern half of the uk after a windy spell in the north. 40 or 50 mph gusts are possible, and that will add to the chill today, temperatures around four to eight degrees. back to where we should be, really, for this stage injanuary. as we go through this evening and overnight, in southern scotland, northern england on the hills we could see snow for a time and we have to watch this area of rain pushing through the english channel. it could have some sleet and snow on its northern edge. there is a chance that could be a little bit further north. low risk at the moment that it could have some wet weather and a bit of lying snow for some of the hills in the south and east tomorrow morning. low risk, keep an eye on the forecast, but for all tomorrow morning it will be a cold start. temperatures as low as —82 —10 across some parts of scotland. the risk of ice, though, given the ground is so wet. that is how it is

7:15 am
the nhs but around 160,000 in the social care systems, the system is under immense strain, so although health service leaders work as closely as they can with local authority colleagues its gaps in social care provision means people can't go home because they don't have the social care support, now there are also gaps in community provision in the health service as well, so those are the fundamental factors here, that is why the government has invested more money in packages to try to help people get out of hospital. unfortunately the money came late, announced in september not distributed until september. it isn't made for that impact. the government has now announced extra money to create places in care homes for patients who are stuck in hospital and again thatis, who are stuck in hospital and again that is, rather late but better than nothing. the story really of this
7:16 am
winter is we have always known there is a danger that it would be extremely difficult, this combination of covid and blue, we started planning for this and the health service last spring, last summer but the support arrived too late and we are playing catch up so be top of the next few weeks. we have talked about a cold snap. we are worried a brother. crosstalk. a government solution, we're talking about england, they say they are going to buy 2500 beds in the community but if are seeing the social care staff just aren't there is is going to actually bring about a solution to any of this? it'll make impact. there are places in care homes which can be mobilised, and if those places are paid for it makes the process of assessment getting people into those homes quicker. the one thing we need
7:17 am
to be couple of is that while care homes is the right solution for some people there is a danger that if you put people into a care home the they can end up being stuck in that a care homejust like people get can end up being stuck in that a care home just like people get stuck in hospital when they could have regained some of their independence. while we welcome this and there are places, care homes, we can't be in a situation where we assume care homes are a default response for anybody who has had a long stay in hospital. black and then they become a holding pattern for individuals which isn't necessarily the most appropriate care for them.— necessarily the most appropriate care for them. ever get back to the issue of shortages, _ care for them. ever get back to the issue of shortages, impacting i issue of shortages, impacting healthcare and the service, it comes to the issue of pay and strikes, more nurses strikes coming up, ambulance abstracts the week after, how confident are you that the government is really getting to grips with some kind of negotiations here and coming up with a settlement proposal? this here and coming up with a settlement ro osal? , , here and coming up with a settlement --roosal? , , ., s, ., , s, proposal? this is another example of -la in: proposal? this is another example of playing catch —

7:20 am
we're go into next winter in a more resilient position than this one? thank you very much, that is a big question, we will wait to see if it is addressed over the next few weeks. matthew taylor from the nhs confederation. for more information about the nhs pressure in your area, you can visit our tracker on the bbc news website. the uk will send 14 challenger ii tanks to ukraine, to help the country's war effort. it comes as russia launched a fresh wave of missile attacks over the weekend, killing at least 18 people in an apartment block in the city of dnipro. we're joined now by chairman of the commons defence committee, tobias ellwood. good morning, thanks for your time. in the past you have accused the government of being too hesitant in its support of ukraine. how significant do you find this statement on the challenger tanks? this is very significant indeed, i welcome the news that we are finally
7:21 am
getting serious about the hardware we are giving to ukraine. i don't want to take away from what britain has done in pushing the international envelope on international envelope on international military assistance which has been far, far too slow but it has been very late in the day, possibly too late, unless other nations follow our lead and also gift battle tanks go back to the start of the conflict. 0nce need declared it would not formally respond to the legal invasion of a european state that basically gave putin license to increase the level of risk that he could take, effectively unchallenged, on the battlefield, even allowing him to completely regroup after that failed international invasion. and as you have been saying is also being able to continue to pummel with missile attacks, ukraine's civilians and infrastructure so this is very late infrastructure so this is very late in the day but we are becoming bolder, less risk averse, by putin's
7:22 am
retre, that this could dangerously escalate the war but if i committed clear, this year, 2023 will be a critical year determining the outcome. remember, russia's ability to enjoy hardship is far greater than ours in the west. battlelines have barely shifted over the last few months so ukraine must keep making progress, challenger tanks as well as us bradley, armoured vehicles, they will make a material difference on the battlefield. ltirul’hat difference on the battlefield. what would ou difference on the battlefield. what would you say _ difference on the battlefield. what would you say to _ difference on the battlefield. what would you say to the _ difference on the battlefield. what would you say to the argument from moscow that the more the west leads into this conflict the more likely the escalation, in fact they could double down efforts? element that is what russia wants us to do, to remain hesitant, to bail to understand that actually unless we step forward and support ukraine russia will not go away. that means that the bully _ russia will not go away. that means that the bully has _ russia will not go away. that means that the bully has won. _
7:23 am
russia will not go away. that means that the bully has won. other i that the bully has won. other nations around the world are watching carefully what is going on, i run particularly and china. we should not have allowed this to go on for so long. how can a democratic state in europe be attacked in this way, on the borderline of nato, and nato simply sits on its hands? so britain has done well in pushing forward that input, as i say, but unless more hardware comes in and we can break the stalemate along that frontier because it is effectively frozen, putin could almost declare a victory. he may have failed in gaining the entire country but you would still have prevented ukraine from becoming a sovereign state again, geographically, and becoming again, geographically, and becoming a thriving, growing democracy. ltirul’hat a thriving, growing democracy. what is sto -|n~ a thriving, growing democracy. what is stopping than _ a thriving, growing democracy. what is stopping than the _ a thriving, growing democracy. what is stopping than the west coming together and committing in a more unified way, so, yes, the two challenger tanks, the german tanks kingston, germany and the usjoint francis mother with armoured fighting vehicles, why is there not
7:24 am
a more uniform method? there are a number of reasons, an absence am afraid of international leadership, we're all looking domestic matters and other issues across the world, not focused on collectively working out what is required. breddan has done well militarily to pull together what is called the ramstein group of nations. the like—minded group of nations. the like—minded group of nations that are willing to give equipment. but we're also working too much from the tactics. what could we have in the cupboards that we can slide across the table, not looking at the strategy. what does success look like? we shouldn't forget what is going on in ukraine is impacting inflation in the uk because green ships can't come out of 0desa, so getting those green ships would be a welcome step. —— grain. we can'tjust keep gifting different variants of equipment, supply chains... it is not
7:25 am
sustainable. in my view we should be developing a ukrainian arms factory, an assembly line in eastern poland so it can procure its own military cad, ammunitions for the long—term, that would be a strategic objective we could all agree on. we should be listing the wagner group as well, putting pressure on them but ultimately it is the leadership that we require. there is a gap in the market. i would like written to advance what it is doing, it has done an incrediblejob but advance what it is doing, it has done an incredible job but we haven't barked to hesitant. —— britain to advance. what makes you think destinations are almost looking at the spare bits and bobs that they have got going rather than coming together with a real strategy to win and then quickly because we are seeing pictures coming out of dnipro, the humanitarian crisis, the attacks also as infrastructure is falling through a deadly winter it is tragic! it is devastating and there is no end in sight.

7:34 am
james ward—prowse scoring twice for southampton and piling the pressure on frank lampard. protests had long been planned around the game, with banners displayed before kick—off, while thousands of everton fans remained long afterfull—time to stage a sit—in calling for change at the top and demanding those in charge listen after what they see as years of mismanagement. lots of questions about how long frank lampard can stay in charge. here is what some everton fans had to say after the game. the process is fullyjustified. it has been dropped to the core for many years. we are putting on performances like that we can and week out. lslate performances like that we can and week out. ~ ., ,., s, s, performances like that we can and week out. ~ ., , , week out. we have some good players, but we need — week out. we have some good players, but we need a — week out. we have some good players, but we need a bit _ week out. we have some good players, but we need a bit of _ week out. we have some good players, but we need a bit of confidence, i but we need a bit of confidence, that's— but we need a bit of confidence, that's all— but we need a bit of confidence, that's all it — but we need a bit of confidence, that's all it is really. we need to keep— that's all it is really. we need to keep lampard, just get them going and get _ keep lampard, just get them going and get a _ keep lampard, just get them going and get a bit of wind. keep lampard, just get them going and get a bit of wind! keep lampard, just get them going and get a bit of wind.— and get a bit of wind. i think they have to have _ and get a bit of wind. i think they have to have a _ and get a bit of wind. i think they have to have a change _ and get a bit of wind. i think they have to have a change of- and get a bit of wind. i think they| have to have a change of manager and get a bit of wind. i think they i have to have a change of manager at this stage _ have to have a change of manager at this stage sorry— have to have a change of manager at this stage. sorry to _ have to have a change of manager at this stage. sorry to see _ have to have a change of manager at this stage. sorry to see frank- have to have a change of manager at this stage. sorry to see frank go, i. this stage. sorry to see frank go, i think— this stage. sorry to see frank go, i think they— this stage. sorry to see frank go, i think they need _ this stage. sorry to see frank go, i think they need a _ this stage. sorry to see frank go, i think they need a change - this stage. sorry to see frank go, i think they need a change of- this stage. sorry to see frank go, i. think they need a change of manager. they need _ think they need a change of manager. they need someone _ think they need a change of manager. they need someone to _ think they need a change of manager. they need someone to come - think they need a change of manager. they need someone to come in - think they need a change of manager. they need someone to come in and i they need someone to come in and energise _ they need someone to come in and energise the — they need someone to come in and energise the team. _ they need someone to come in and energise the team. i— they need someone to come in and energise the team.— energise the team. i think short-term. _ energise the team. i think short-term, lampard i energise the team. i think short-term, lampard is i energise the team. i think i

short-term, lampard is clearly energise the team. i think - short-term, lampard is clearly not short—term, lampard is clearly not good enough to everton. he is not a pearly manager, let alone everton manager. celtic are into the scottish league cup final, the holders beating kilmarnock 2—0 at hampden. maeda scored celtic�*s opener, albeit with some help of a poor clearance by kyle lafferty. kilmarnock did have chances to level it, but celtic also had two goals disallowed before sealing their place in the final with a goal in stoppage time from giorgos giakoumakis. rangers and aberdeen play in the other semi—final today. england captain 0wen farrell has been cleared to play in their six nations opener against scotland after he completes his ban for a dangerous tackle. the rfu said he will be available for saracens's game against bristol bears on 28 january. but no farrell for sarries yesterday in their bonus—point win against lyon in the champions cup, elliot daly scoring a first—half hat—trick to secure a 48—28 victory.
7:36 am
exeter lost for the first time in this season's competition. they went down 39—28 to bulls in south africa. simelane scored two of bulls' six tries. both sides claimed bonus points. sale were beaten 27—5 at home by five—time champions toulouse, guillaume cramont with the french club's second of two tries. the win confirms toulouse's place in the last 16. northampton remain bottom of pool b despite a spirited performance against munster. the saints lost 27—23 at kingsholm. jack 0'donohue scored the second of munster�*s three tries. he was then sent off after a high tackle. all the european results are on the bbc sport website. it's the final in the masters snooker at alexandra palace later today, where mark williams will facejudd trump. williams swept aside jack lisowski without losing a frame in his semifinal. trump wasn't as fluent as williams in his 6—1win over stuart bingham, but crucially won several scrappy frames and compiled five
7:37 am
half—centuries on his way to victory. been a bit scrappy so far, but hopefully ijust been a bit scrappy so far, but hopefully i just can been a bit scrappy so far, but hopefully ijust can keep the momentum now. ifelt a lot in that game. the crowd support has been fantastic all week, and hopefully some more in the final. it doesn't get any better than this, to be honest. i think this is probably my favourite event. i think everyone in the london area is rowdy, so the more noise the better. applause and in netball�*s vitality series, jamaica came from behind to beat england 61—58 and force a decider in the three—match series. jamaica'thaniele fowler shone throughout, scoring 56 goals. the last crucial match will be shown live across the bbc at 2:15pm this afternoon. emma raducanu says she is in a good place and ready to take part at the australian open. that starts tomorrow.
7:38 am
her particiaption was in doubt after she rolled her ankle in auckland ten days ago. it led to her sixth retirement since the start of last year and threatened her participation in melbourne. but it has healed now, she says. and even if preparation for this particular grand slam has been a little thin, she says she is feeling optimistic again ahead of her opening—round match tomorrow, where she will play germany's tarmara korpatch. everything gets going in melbourne midnight hour time tonight. andy murray, meanwhile, says he is ready to make a statement at the australian open. he has been runner—up five times in melbourne. he has a tough first—round match against world number 14 and former wimbledon finalist matteo berrettini. my movement and stuff was significantly better than what it would have been at this stage last year. so, you know, when i move well i tend to play well, and it's really important for me. and that's probably been the thing i've been happiest about since i got here.

end of 1974, petrol prices were heading towards 16p a litre, taking inflation into account, that is equivalent to just under £2 a litre in today's prices, and like now, there were hybrid cars out on the road as well. this was being put through its paces in blandford. there was once, of course, a fast, efficient way to travel in an electric powered vehicle, in bournemouth at least. the trolley bus. but they didn't survive the 60s, bus. but they didn't survive the 605, 19605. bus. but they didn't survive the 60s, 1960s. by bus. but they didn't survive the 605, 19605. by1975, bus. but they didn't survive the 605, 19605. by 1975, we began to see cycle lanes on the streets, but not as we know them today. no coloured par on the side of the road, no, no. in portsmouth they put them in the middle—of—the—road. sometimes in an interview, when you've got to go, you've got to go. in interview, when you've got to go, you've got to go-_ you've got to go. in the london area, you've got to go. in the london area. we've _ you've got to go. in the london area, we've still _ you've got to go. in the london area, we've still got _ you've got to go. in the london area, we've still got quite - you've got to go. in the london area, we've still got quite a - you've got to go. in the london| area, we've still got quite a lot. it'5 area, we've still got quite a lot. it's a repercussion.— area, we've still got quite a lot. it's a repercussion. you've got to co.

two. setting and today, and proper through tonight and into tomorrow. let's have a look at the air mass child, the amber and yellow colours is being pushed away and we are bringing in the air from is being pushed away and we are bringing in the airfrom the north which will get colder and colder in the next 24 hours. a little bit of sleet and snow already. some snow on the top of the pennines. charlotte wales the north is discoloured. heavy showers and suffers in the islands, they will continue throughout the day. the zone of the zone of mickey clark bringing up rates of rain and wind units on the top of the hills, pushing south through east anglia, edging to the south later and introducing rain to the west of northern ireland. some of the strongest winds today, 40, 50 mph, lighterwinds of the strongest winds today, 40, 50 mph, lighter winds compared to yesterday but wherever you are it will be a chillier day, temperatures back from where we should be.
7:48 am
tonight, snow showers in scotland, snow on the hills of southern scotland, northern england, which this area of rain is gripping through the english channel, some sleet and snow on the northern edge and a chance it could be further north. if it is in the zone they could be more niif wet weather and there could be snow on the hills today take us into monday morning rush away from it there is going to be a cold start, widespread fraud, icy conditions, —8——10 in parts of scotland. we have to watch out, south—east, east anglia could be west births then, some snow. it will ease away. a few wintry showers. a good deal of sunny weather. 0ne ease away. a few wintry showers. a good deal of sunny weather. one or two showers that will be wintry, especially in the north and west of scotland. these other temperatures monday. feeling chilly, and it will continue into tuesday. thank you for that, thank you for that, at thank you for that, at least thank you for that, at least we thank you for that, at least we are thank you for that, at least we are
7:49 am
forewarned. at least it is stilljanuary. forewarned. at least it is stilljanua . . at least it is still january. that is what we _ at least it is still january. that is what we expect. _ is what we expect. time for all of the latest technology news. let's get 2023 started in style. welcome to las vegas, where there's lights, sounds and a whole lotta shakin' going on. uh, not sure this is what they meant, though. did that make you feel better? trust me, it made me feel everything. yes, every january, the tech world
7:50 am
heads to the massive consumer electronics show spread throughout the las vegas convention center and surrounding hotels. it's great to be here, back in our studio overlooking part of the show. yeah, only part, though, because this place is big. how big? very big. to give you an idea of how huge, i'll tell you what, should we give them a whistlestop tour? i'll go that way, you go that way, i'll meet you halfway around. deal. all of the halls have pretty spectacular stands in, and you even get a bit of a theme in each one. this is the north hall and i'm getting health care vibes from this place. here at the venetian expo is my favourite bit, eureka park, where some startups get small stands to set out their big ideas. the west hall is shiny and new and this is where all the car stuff is. and now, we're in the central hall to try out some haptic gloves that mean when you touch things in virtual reality, you can feel them.
7:51 am
here, shake my hands. hello! i can feel you! that's so weird. you're tickling me. iam! have a little tickle. do you fancy a jenga battle? sure, why not? all right. you could feel the blocks as you pick them up! laughs that is really incredible. you could drop them on your hand and feel...oh! as i grip this book over here, i can actually feel resistance. so as i try and squeeze it, i'm being stopped, which really gives me the impression that there is a solid thing between my hands! it's the air pressure that's used in there at 135 sensing points so you can feel every little bit of movement. ooh, my fingers are double jointed. we've forgotten to do thejenga. this is much more fun, actually. 0h, we have. let's move this out the way and play the game. i've got to fix this. you're not doing it right. here we go. 0h...oh, 0k. that's actually a bit tricky. i tell you what. .. i don't have as much
7:52 am
control as i should. i tell you what i do when i lose...is that. oh, no. oh, no! laughs i'm going to prod you for that! i so, the use cases for this are suggested to be, first of all, training, so you can train people to use equipment and they get an idea of how it feels. also, design — you could design a new car, for example, and run your fingers over the body before it actually exists. big leap forward for haptics, would you say? yeah, i would. big difference from anything i've used in the past. it really is good to see ces getting back up towards its pre—pandemic size. the question, of course, is whether these big expos have permanently changed as a result of covid. in amongst all of the screens and the cars and all the other weird stuff here at ces, there are plenty of home appliances too. some of them can roam around by themselves these days. but have you ever wondered how they find their way about? well, many of the modern ones use
7:53 am
something called simultaneous location and mapping. for short, slam. modern domestic and industrial robots are notjust bump and go, you know. they need to build up a map of where they live to make sure each spring cleaning isn't a brand—new voyage of rediscovery that means they might forget the occasional nook and cranny. one common way to scan your surroundings is lidar, which uses a spinning laser to determine the distance to everything around you. but lidar has its shortcomings. the problem with lidar is if you want high performance, they're extremely expensive, can be thousands of dollars. so that's not going to cut it for commercial products at all in the consumer space. but then, the low—cost ones, which you see on many of the consumer products out there just are very unreliable. they degrade over time and they also capture a tiny amount of spatial information compared to the amount of information you capture with a camera. we're able to access that spatial information, but using very low—cost
7:54 am
processes and silicon. this vacuum robot is running new software developed by slamcore, which builds up a map using vision instead of lidar. this allows the software to more intelligently work out notjust how far it is from stuff, but what that stuff is, and whether it's likely to stay there. when it knows where it is, it needs to know what are the obstacles in its way, where is it free space, is it going to crash if it tries to go through a certain space? the next level of spatial intelligence is knowing how the world around you is shaped just from a geometry point of view, so knowing what's occupied space and what's not. once the software's labelled everything, it can do different things with the information. for example, if it's committing the layout of your flat to memory, it might want to remove objects it knows aren't permanent,
7:55 am
like books, other stuff that's strewn around, or even people that it's encountered on its travels...like me. don't worry about the look of this particular vacuum bot. at the moment, it's wearing a low—cost stereo camera and inertial sensor on its head. but the plan is for these to be integrated in to vacuum cleaners, drones, and other autonomous devices in the future. the point here is that a few low—cost peripherals are all devices like this would need to collect enough data to feed owen's software, which is the real breakthrough here. a really small, tight, neural network lightweight enough to be stored in the device that can label everything and work out how to respond to different types of objects. one of the big benefits of a robot or a machine knowing the objects it's encountering is it may choose to modify its behaviour depending on the type of object that is. so, for example, a drone may see a person and want to keep a really wide berth because there could be a safety risk there.
7:56 am
but if it's going to get through a door or somewhere a bit more narrower where there's only inanimate objects around, then it can have a much smaller safety margin to be able to make it through. plenty of ways, then, for a new way of navigating the world to help you to...clean up. lara: honestly, this is the first time i've ever seen him do the chores. another big theme this year has been tech to help disabled people. paul carter has toured the show floor with one woman who's created a way to help people with low vision see the world differently. paul: this is rebecca. she's visually impaired and navigating herfirst ces. she's the creator of an app to help other low—vision people navigate the world better. i have a rare disease called albinism, which basically means that my body doesn't create
7:57 am
enough pigment or melanin, which is why my hair, skin and eyes are the colour that they are. in addition to that, it affects the development and the maintenance of proper vision. as a result of that, i have really an uncorrectable impairment where no amount of glasses or lasik or really any current treatments can aid the problems that i have. and what i found growing up and as a student is that there really was no assistive technology that was appropriate for someone like me. the app makes it easier for people with low vision to see things around them. it uses customisable smartphone camera filters that users can change to suit their own unique visual impairment. because i have an impairment, it's really easy to fall into the trap of saying, well, i know what's best for these people. i know what they need or what they want. 0ur rebokeh app spent about a year in beta with about 100 beta users, where our sole goal was to solicit feedback from people with vision
7:58 am
impairment, optometrists, ophthalmologists. and over the course of that year, we added or adjusted more than ten different features. how might the app be useful for looking at something like this? yeah, so i can totally show you. so this is actually really hard for me to differentiate, especially because there's so much going on right here. there's just a lot of images. so what we can do is actually point it up and with one finger — it's meant to be one—handed — so with just one finger, i can kind of zoom up and in. so let's pick one to look at, maybe this picture of a computer and whatnot. what we can do is we can actually add some contrast... oh, wow. ..to make things a little bit brighter. the lights a little bit lighter. we can also add actually colour filters. so this particular screen has a lot of green on it. so there's a whole lot that we can kind of do to... see, now, everything's kind of green. ..but to kind of make certain colours or certain features pop out a little bit, you know,
7:59 am
now i'm kind of understanding what this company does, whereas before, it was just a whole lot of chaotic kind of images. in a way, it's quite a simple process, but i can imagine it's quite liberating just being able to instantly be able to point your phone at something and see something differently. absolutely. for a lot of people, it's the difference between being able to read a menu at, you know, starbucks or mcdonald's when it's up in the back and needing to ask somebody else for help. and, you know, if you're by yourself, sometimes that's totally an independence issue. the app is currently available for iphone and ipad, but rebecca also has plans to make rebokeh a community for visually impaired people. there's about 25 million people in the united states alone with some type of moderate, uncorrectable vision impairment. and we're super excited to be able to also showcase and bring awareness to that population, to give those people a space to come and gather and say, we have our own very unique set of life experiences and needs and challenges and wants, and to give them an opportunity to come together with people more
8:00 am
similar to them to talk about those things is really what we ultimately want rebokeh to grow into. now, this is the shortcut of click from ces. if you'd like to see more from this place, then you can check out the full—length version, which is waiting for you right now on iplayer. so, that's it from vegas. well, should we do some more next week? yeah, why don't we? why not? thanks for watching. see you then. bye— bye.
8:01 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rachel burden. 0ur headlines today: a seven—year—old girl is fighting for her life and three women are in hospital after a suspected drive—by shooting in central london. at least 40 people have died in a plane crash in nepal — a large rescue operation is under way. the mood darkens at everton, with protests against the club's owners as the pressure increases on frank lampard after another defeat leaves them joint bottom of the premier league. and cold weather plus rain equals the perfect recipe for potholes — that's the warning from the rac as figures suggest damage to cars is on the rise. and the good news in weather is there won't be quite as much rain around through the week ahead, but it will be colder.
8:02 am
widespread frosts and ice by night, and for one or two, a bit of snow. i'll have all the details here on breakfast. it's sunday the 15th of january. our top story. a seven—year—old girl remains in a life—threatening condition this morning, following a suspected drive—by shooting in central london. the incident happened yesterday afternoon as a funeral was taking place at a roman catholic church near euston station, as laura trant reports. during what should have been a peaceful memorial service, six people were injured after gunshots were fired outside a church near euston station. a seven—year—old girl is said to be in a life—threatening condition in hospital. a 12—year—old girl was hurt, along with four women aged 21, 41, 48 and 54. the 48—year—old may have life—changing injuries. the condition of the 21—year—old is not known. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, described the shooting
8:03 am
as deeply distressing. the labour leader, keir starmer, who is the mp for holborn and st pancras, has condemned the attack and says his thoughts are with the victims. it happened here just before 1.30 yesterday afternoon. police responded to reports that shots had been fired from a moving vehicle, which was then driven away. london ambulance service and the air ambulance were also called to the scene. there is a significant police presence here. an investigation is under way and police are appealing for any witnesses. laura trant, bbc news. 0ur reporter louisa pilbeam is at the scene for us. louisa, what's going on there this morning? absolutely dreadful what we know as police the funeral was taking place in the bone building behind me, since aloysius church, and the
8:04 am
suspect that a vehicle drove past and that shots were fired from that vehicle before it was then driven off. they have not revealed any information about a motive and they have not made any arrests so far. what we do know is that a seven year is among the victims and she remains in a critical condition in hospital, fighting for her life. we also know that police say this was shocking and it was a dreadful incident and it happened in broad daylight at half past one in the afternoon on a saturday afternoon. some breaking news — at least 40 people have died in an airplane crash in nepal. the yeti airline aircraft was flying from the capital, kathmandu, and crashed
8:05 am
near the tourist town of pokhara. at least 18 people have been killed in a russian missile strike on an apartment block in the ukrainian city of dnipro. dozens of others were injured in the attack — which is said to be the worst in months. it follows a wave of fresh strikes targeting ukraine's power infrastructure. let's speak now to our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse. it correspondent, james waterhouse. is an incredibly scenario it is an incredibly depressing scenario once more. this is a continuation of the russian strategy of trying to deprive ukrainians of much—needed energy and heat during the height of winter and this is a country where temperatures are frequently below zero through much of the season. we had a relative
8:06 am
reprieve in the grand scheme of things, two weeks, which is a long time since october when russia started to launch widespread missile and drone attacks on power stations and drone attacks on power stations and power lines and railway lines across ukraine and you almost have two layers to the work for you have intense fighting along a line spanning 600 miles and you can be miles away from that but still in harms way and yesterday we saw two waves of missile strikes were targets were hit across areas across ukraine and the targets are at picture of twisted metal and rubber enough what was once an apartment block in dnipro. people are using
8:07 am
phone lights in some ways and it is a desperate situation and typically dnipro doesn't feel close to the fighting and it is a city where people enjoy nights out and the enjoyed dinner and go to work where trams rumble through and occasionally you get a reminder we are russia is continuing to exert this brutal campaign of aggression. we knew yesterday this was something big because of the amount of time we had to spend in the shelter.
8:08 am
the royal college of nursing will ask more nurses to strike next month, in a bid to raise pressure on the government. we're joined now by our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart. david, how are the government likely to respond? this is an escalation and when nurses went on strike in december many nurses stayed working in the nhs providing a level of service and in recent days the government has praised that level of service offered but they may not be so happy during the next round of strikes because a royal college of nurses says unless there is progress there will be a larger number of nurses walking out on the job in early february when the next series of strikes takes place. . the government will mandate extra levels of service which will have to be offered in areas such as the health service but that is very early in its parliamentary progress and
8:09 am
nearly a million nhs workers didn't get a pay rise of nearly 40 million last month. and labour leader sir keir starmer has been setting out his party's plan for the health service? he has written that article in the sunday telegraph and says if we don't get the money the nhs will die and the idea of it being the outstanding house that was the oldest clearly wrong. he wants to see more gps working directly for the nhs then running their own services and once you and i to be able to self refer self to specialist and airmen who believe the job of the labour party is merely to defend public services is wrong. —— to specialists and anyone who believes the job of the labour party is merely to defend public services is wrong. he is maybe saying this to anyone who believes
8:10 am
that the solution is to throw extra money at the nhs. the telegraph su paper of the right not one labour leader would typically used to talk to their base. i think readers might wonder at such radical proposals for the nhs proposed at this time. iran is facing international condemnation after the execution of a british—iranian national. former defence minister, alirayza akbari, was arrested in 2019 for alleged spying — which he denied. joining us now is parham ghobadi from the bbc�*s persian service. parham, how has iran responded? what does international combination look like and what weight does it hold with iran? yesterday germany and francejoined hold with iran? yesterday germany and france joined the hold with iran? yesterday germany and francejoined the united kingdom to condemn this execution and iran

immediately invited the net kingdom foreign minister and in response we saw that britain withdrew temporarily its ambassador from tehran from consultation so tension is rising. —— united kingdom. in a last audio message mr akabari said iran was educating him to settle scores with united kingdom. at the moment the united kingdom is looking to add the revolutionary guard to as terrorist and —— terror list and iran is accusing the uk of fermenting and rest in the country.
8:12 am
here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. colder conditions return but there will be centring around in greater visibility. night—time frost expected and a little wintry weather for one or two. we will see some today and some snow showers across the north of scotland and the band of rain across northern ireland into northern england and wales. some heavy showers across the south and the channel islands and the ease into the afternoon. cloud fishing south through wales and the midlands and east anglia taking away some morning sunshine. patchy rain and drizzle and hill sleet. wet to the south—west of northern ireland this afternoon and for the snow in the north of scotland. most will be predominantly dry with some sunshine. when gas around 40 to 50
8:13 am
mph possible which will make it colder than the temperatures of five celsius 29 celsius suggest. for most temperatures with the should be in january. tonight rain turns to snow and sleet on the hills in the north of scotland but very heavy rain in the southern counties of england and the southern counties of england and the channel islands. could see sleet and snow. limited impact that could be greater and small chance it could be greater and small chance it could be a little further north. that could cause problems for the russia tomorrow. forthe could cause problems for the russia tomorrow. for the start of tomorrow, a very cold start and in parts of scotland minus eight degrees to —10. potholes are one of the biggest nuisances for motorists and cyclists and following the recent bad weather — the problem
8:14 am
is getting worse. the rac says vehicle breakdowns caused as a direct result of potholes, have risen by almost a quarter in the past three months. aileen clarke has been looking at the issue on scotland's roads. a busyjunction on the pollock area of glasgow, this taxi driver pointing the issue. and this pothole became a very big issue for stephen maxwell as he was driving to work at half past four on monday morning. the lights were all green, all good, put on thisjunction, hit a bottle and burst my two tyres.
8:15 am
big bang, ithought that it had broken the wheel with how hard it was. it was unbelievable. it doesn't look as bad but now it is dried up. he has reported to the council but the council says they are working around the clock to undertake repairs. it was this pothole in paisley that was a problem for elaine hansen on tuesday. it was dark, wet and all of a sudden i drove in and hit the pothole and there was a bang and it was quite... it was quite frightening when it happened. i may possibly have to put two new wheels on as well as two new tyres. and i they can cost anywhere between a couple of hundred pounds to a couple of thousand pounds. they are in good company, this goes as people are coming in daily with similar stories. this is ten times what it is usually, every second or third customer is coming and whether pothole damage,
8:16 am
pothole damage, pothole damage, so we have seen a huge increase in customers coming in with pothole damage, it isn't punctual as it as a buster. but it can cost more than just a new tyre. if you hit a pothole you can be tossed over the handlebars which is very dangerous. for a cyclist it is potentially a very serious injury or even death. bridge of weir and the rain was filling up the potholes. realistically many potholes won't be getting fixed as quickly as the public would like so what is the best advice in the meantime? neil gray, the advanced driving expert, says it is vital to keep reporting them for repair and crucial to realise they are now an everyday hazard. looking at your radio, your satnav, anything that takes your eyes off the road will give you less time to deal with the pothole so slow down, look out for potholes and don't swerve to avoid them because it could lead to another crash which can be worse than hitting the pothole itself. of the hole but around the country there are plenty of potholes waiting for the same attention. aileen clarke, bbc news, glasgow. we'rejoined now by complaining campaigner, helen dewdney, and pothole campaigner mark morrell who is in brackley in northamptonshire. it has gone

8:24 am
for a new bin lorry, but this one's a bit special and the woman driving it and tooting the horn is the reason it's so pink. she's also been on quite a journey of her own. on the day of the first lockdown, march 2020, i was diagnosed with stage two grade three breast cancer. the pandemic was a scary thing in itself, let alone with a cancer diagnosis of treatment of the unknown. you know, you read so many horror stories about what chemo does to people, which is why my friend sarah, who's already had breast cancer as well, we decided to start breast friends, grantham. a support network that we started in lockdown. and as well as the support group, rachel wanted to do something off the scale that people couldn't miss. and so with the help of south kesteven district council, betty boop bin was born. everybody meet betty boop bin.
8:25 am
isn't she gorgeous? as you can see, she's very pink. she's actually very comfortable. but i didn't ijust in charge of the steering and apparently, you know, being a blonde and all that, i'm not allowed to do much. but yeah, she's state of the art pink bin lorry and she's lovely, have a look. i'm incredibly proud of this lady standing by the side of me. herjourney has been absolutely amazing and we're just

overwhelmed with it all, to be honest with you. the lorry looks fantastic. it really, really does. and it's so bright. so bright. it's amazing. that's really going to catch the eye and and hopefully get the message that this lady is trying to get out to everybody. she's here to have such a huge, massive pink bin lorry that's going to go around our district for seven years. i believe raising that that message of, you know, your normal check yourself. it's incredible. if she saves just one life she's done herjob. let's speak now to the woman behind betty boop bin, rachel bradley. through the whole of lockdown i received my chemo and radio treatment lockdown and today i'm in full remission. the treatment lockdown and today i'm in full remission.— full remission. the crew said they not full remission. the crew said they got people _ full remission. the crew said they got people tooting _ full remission. the crew said they got people tooting their— full remission. the crew said they got people tooting their horns i full remission. the crew said they | got people tooting their horns and waving and i think the bin crew were

to have died, 72 in total on board, a range of different countries represented there as we were just saying, including a passengerfrom ireland. as far as we know, no reports of survivors but details are still very sketchy at the moment, but stay with us here on the bbc news channel and i am sure you will be updated as the day goes on. it is cominu u- be updated as the day goes on. it is coming up to _ be updated as the day goes on. it 3 coming up to a 30 5am. nearly 26 million people in california have been placed under a flood watch — as another winter storm batters the state. 30,000 residents in coastal areas have already been ordered to evacuate their homes. our west coast correspondent sophie long has been out with volunteers in santa barbara, who're helping people frantic efforts to protect homes from further flooding. if we didn't get this done today, we would have lost our house. jeff bailey's wife and young children evacuated.
8:34 am
he stayed to protect their home. it's been hard. my wife has been bringing them over at the top of the hill, and i've been giving them hugs and kisses and telling them how much i love them. but, you know, we all have to process it. sorry, i have for some reason become emotional. so yes, we're safe, we're surviving, and we'lljust keep going forward. across california, after three weeks of almost continuous, catastrophic downpours, rain is the last thing people here need, and yet it keeps coming. widespread flooding is getting worse and roads are disintegrating. emergency services could only watch as this one collapses into the valley below. we joined the santa barbara bucket brigade, a local volunteer force formed after a mudslide killed 23 people here five years ago. what happened here?
8:35 am
this is the road to my mum's house. she can't get home, so we've got a big rock to clear out. all hands on what has become a treacherous, slippery deck. i'm not worried about our house. it's not going to go - anywhere, and it's safe. and it'sjust everybody else, and all the... - you know, i mean, if we don't protect the road, we're - going to lose more of the road here — people can't get out. i you can see the impact of the heavy deluges here. this road has been completely cut off. people cannot access their homes. the rains have now started again, after brief period of respite, and there is concern that more is going to come down. the threat of mudslides means they need to move quickly. the next stop is steve's house. that was a pretty hairy drive, by my standards. so this tree i planted 26 years ago. it was this tall, and it's the only
8:36 am
tree to survive this. the whole thing just slid down. this is about 200 feet wide. you kind of get overwhelmed with a series of emotional things, which go from hope to pride to fear to, you know, despair — to all that stuff. but at the end of the day, you know, we're a resilient lot up here and we know what to do, so this is what we're doing today. a saturated california can only wait to see what the next storm brings. sophie long, bbc news, santa barbara. you just can't quite believe those pictures. when the just away there from the site. pictures. when the 'ust away there from the site.— from the site. closer to home, reflecting _ from the site. closer to home, reflecting on — from the site. closer to home, reflecting on yesterday - from the site. closer to home, reflecting on yesterday in - from the site. closer to home, reflecting on yesterday in the l reflecting on yesterday in the premier league and drama around everton? , ., ~' everton? club in turmoil i think it is fair to say. _ everton? club in turmoil i think it is fair to say, pictures _ everton? club in turmoil i think it

this bad at everton before, what did you make of the statement that was put out by the club, talking about these threats to the safety of board members and the owners and telling them to stay away? i members and the owners and telling them to stay away?— them to stay away? i think the point ou made them to stay away? i think the point you made just _ them to stay away? i think the point you made just before _ them to stay away? i think the point you made just before that _ them to stay away? i think the point you made just before that it's - you made just before that it's coming from the club, not a police statement, if anyone has made any threats towards any board members, if any physical abuse that has happened or has been... it should be on the bill, and every decent evertonian knows that. they were very disappointed, and they protested, which they have the right to do and they protested strongly, but passionately, but within their right to do that. everyone knows, man, woman, boy, child, they know what is beyond the pale and if it's gone too far then it's gone too far,
8:40 am
but still i would argue that itjust shows you, frank lampard, the level of passion of the club is always like that, but fans don't get carried over too easily, because there has been a slow decline until these last two seasons, in these relegation battles, they have almost dealt with it better than you would expect to. at the moment, however, i think it hasjust expect to. at the moment, however, i think it has just gone a little bit too far. you feel that relegation is a real possibility, bordering on probability. irate a real possibility, bordering on probability-— a real possibility, bordering on robabili .~ , ., ,. probability. we shall pictures of the everton _ probability. we shall pictures of the everton supporters - probability. we shall pictures of. the everton supporters welcoming probability. we shall pictures of- the everton supporters welcoming the team but, they were right behind the team but, they were right behind the team at the start of play yesterday, trying to will them over the line, beaten in the end i said that planned protest that we saw afterwards. how do everton resolve this? out they come out of this? it is not obligated, wins games of
8:41 am
football. —— read it's not complicated. if you have a look at the league table, seven teams have a two points between them. if they had done 0k yesterday, they would have gone up, that is how tight it is and it's about winning a few games, how do you do that? that is frank lampard. there are a number of important players that they haven't replaced but others, there are injuries, but it's up to the players and the managers and the staff to win. and certainly a lot of this fades, but i don't thing it will go away completely, i think the everton fans have thought it has not been well organised for a long time. it's
8:42 am
about half £1 billion of investment being made since the years ago, so there is no complaining about the money that has been in but it has been the organisation and whether it has been done well. i been the organisation and whether it has been done well.— has been done well. i think you are riaht, i has been done well. i think you are right. i think _ has been done well. i think you are right. i think it _ has been done well. i think you are right, i think it is _ has been done well. i think you are right, i think it is about _ has been done well. i think you are right, i think it is about winning - right, i think it is about winning matches but it doesn't completely go away, does it? because clearly that the supporters are not happy with the supporters are not happy with the board members, in particular, feel like this has been going on for years, perhaps winning and coming out and surviving and papering over the cracks, it doesn't do away with a deep—seated discontent that is there at everton football club. we willjust have to leave it there, but no doubt, we will be talking about this again, i'm sure you will be keeping yourfingers about this again, i'm sure you will be keeping your fingers crossed for everton next weekend, when they play west ham, forjoining us on breakfast. some big games ahead for everton. they have arsenal in the merseyside derby on the horizon. on some football in scotland.

celtic are into the scottish league cup final — the holders beating kilmarnock 2—0 at hampden. maeda scored celtic�*s opener — albeit with some help of a poor clearance by kyle lafferty. kilmarnock did have chances to level it but celtic also had two goals disallowed before sealing their place in the final with a goal in stoppage time from giorgos giakoumakis. rangers and aberdeen play in the other semi final today. england captain owen farrell has been cleared to play in their six nations opener against scotland after he completes his ban for a dangerous tackle. the rfu said he will be available for saracens' game against bristol bears on the 28th of january. but no farrell for sarries yesterday in their bonus point win against lyon in the champions cup. elliot daly scoring a first—half hat—trick to secure a 48—28 victory. elsewhere though a bad day for the english clubs with exeter, sale and northampton all losing. it's the final in the masters snooker at alexandra palace later today. where mark williams will facejudd trump. williams swept aside jack lisowski without losing a frame in his semi final.
8:44 am
trump wasn't as fluent as williams in his 6—1 win over stuart bingham, but crucially won several scrappy frames and compiled five half—centuries on his way to victory. it's been a bit scrappy so far, but yeah, hopefully ijust can keep the momentum now. i felt a lot better in that game. crowd support�*s been fantastic all week and hopefully some more in the final. it doesn't get any better than this. i think this is probably my favourite event. i think everyone in the london area is rowdy, so the more noise the better. and in netball�*s vitality series, jamaica came from behind to beat england 61—58 and force a decider in the three—match series. jamaica'sjhaniele fowler shone throughout — scoring 56 goals. the last crucial match will be shown live across the bbc at 2:15pm this afternoon.

8:47 am
of one of its therapy animals — he couldn't live without horses in his life. josh hoskins has down syndrome and has been coming to the stables for eight years. back in october, sam, a welsh cob that he used to ride, died suddenly from colic. he misses him so much. i love ilove him. and what's it been like not having sam here any more? i'm sad. i love him. josh isn't able to ride any of the other horses because he's over the weight limit. so at the moment, he helps groom them and muck out, but it's just not the same. during lockdown, his mental health suffered, which is what you'd expect because he was out of his routine and to an extent he's out of his routine now. so again, we are seeing a bit of a dip in how he usually is. so he's not as confident, he's not quite as outgoing as we would usually expect
8:48 am
him to be. parklands riding for the disabled association works with around 20 young people and is so popular there's a waiting list. i have to say, it's been a few years since i've been on a horse, but i feel very comfortable on libby. she is an rda horse. that means the riding for the disabled. so she's learnt to be very responsive to different voices, very calm, temperament, slow and steady. she's a really great horse, but she already has a number of riders and the charity really needs to find a new horse as soon as possible. alison it really is becoming quite tricky, isn't it, for you? yeah, some riders. they've had their routine, they've learnt so many skills with him and they loved him to bits and they're so lost with that without having a horse at the moment. how much money are you going to need to raise? we need a minimum of £10,000. these horses are like gold dust. not only do they have the perfect temperament, but we need a horse ready to go.
8:49 am
so it's got to have got all the training in place. emily maisano used to ride sam, too. she's now trying to form a bond with this horse, cherri. she has autism and is extremely shy. her mental health was really bad. she feels that she can relate to animals better than humans because they don't judge. it was last resort, really, that we tried everything. would you say that working with horses has changed your life? yeah, because it makes me feel happier than what i was. i was in a dark place. so. yeah. the charities launched a go fund me page to help raise money sojosh and emily can get back in the saddle. amy cole, bbc news. best of luck with that fundraising. obviously did mean a lot to many young people. obviously did mean a lot to many young people-— young people. let's take a final look at the _ young people. let's take a final look at the weather _ young people. let's take a final look at the weather this - young people. let's take a final.
