good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. the met police is investigating 800 of its own officers over sexual and domestic abuse claims, after a serving constable admitted 49 offences, including dozens of rape. teachers in england and wales are set to strike over seven days in february and march, in a dispute over pay. a row erupts between the uk and scottish governments, after westminster announced plans to block the gender recognition reform bill passed by holyrood last month. why rising prices are still racing ahead of wages.

as inflation continues to leave us worse off, we speak with the businesses struggling with rising costs and recruitment. how andy's conjured some of that old murray magic in his opening match of the australian open. good morning. once again it is a cold and frosty start. the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. but for many it will be dry with winter sunshine. however, there is snow in the forecast. i will tell you where later. people say, television in the morning? that's disgusting. a disgusting idea! what is happening in this country? people even used the word immoral. but we're still here — a0 years later! we're celebrating a special birthday on the programme this morning, good morning. it's tuesday, the 17th january.

the metropolitan police force is investigating a thousand allegations of abuse involving around 800 of its officers. it comes after pc david carrick pleaded guilty to 49 offences, including dozens of rapes — the worst—ever case of a serving police officer. met police commissioner sir mark rowley apologised to carrick�*s victims, and for the failure of the force. frances read reports. nojustice, no peace! they say change is necessary. for them, promises from the met police that no stone will go unturned, not enough. the force is now investigating 1000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving around 800 police officers. and every one of the met�*s 16,000 officers and staff are having their records checked against the national database. it comes after david carrick, a serving police officer for two decades, admitted 249 offences. he was able to commit multiple rapes and sexual assaults,

unnoticed by the force. he served in the same unit as officer wayne couzens. yesterday, the met commissioner apologised to carrick�*s victims. not only have we let than the women in this case, the survivors who've courageously come forward, i completely recognise that is going to be the reaction of many women across london, indeed more widely. all i can say is, i'm sorry. i'm sorry that we let you down. because there were warnings ahead of his police career. before he joined the met he was a suspected to offences involving a former partner. the following year he passed the met�*s vetting procedure. between 2002 and 2009, he was accused of a number of incidents involving women, including harassment and domestic violence. in 2009, he applied to join the parliamentary and diplomatic protection squad. seven years later, he was a a harassment complaint.

yet 12 months later, he got through his police vetting again. in 2019, he faced another allegation of domestic violence. then, in 2021, there was a rape complaint made against him. yet he was allowed to carry on working, with only restricted duties. critics say it is that which is so troubling. there will be other people like david carrick who have been allowed to continue with their abusive behaviour, allowed to rape women whilst they are serving officers. they are not being dealt with properly, they are not being dealt with quickly, and they are not being taken out of the police service where they have so much power. and in my view, there are solutions, but to do that, the met, especially the met, have to admit they've got a problem. what do we want? justice! when do we want it? now! in 2021, the murder of sarah everard at the hands of a serving met officer was supposed to be a watershed moment.

those here say that the change has never happened. frances read, bbc news. frances read is outside new scotland yard this morning. frances, there have been calls for a full inquiry into carrick�*s case? yeah, that is correct. baroness casey, she is conducting the review into the force's standards and internal culture, she has called on the home secretary for a full inquiry. she said the current inquiry. she said the current inquiry into the death of sarah everard, for example, could be extended to include the actions of carrick as well, or otherwise that they should be a separate inquiry. she says any inquiry should include the potential opportunities the match, other police forces and organisations may have had to identify his pattern of behaviour. of identify his pattern of behaviour. of course, in the meantime, the matter checking those databases. matter checking those data bases. what matter checking those databases. what are they looking for? any

previous convictions. any problematic intelligence into their police force's past behaviour. thank ou. full police force's past behaviour. thank you. full coverage _ police force's past behaviour. thank you. full coverage of _ police force's past behaviour. thank you. full coverage of that _ police force's past behaviour. thank you. full coverage of that story - you. full coverage of that story throughout the programme. teachers in england and wales have voted in favour of strike action in a dispute about pay. the national education union says its members will walk out for seven days during february and march, as part of a dispute about pay. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports. i love that i'm your favourite crayon for grapes and dragons and wizards hats. like many primary headteachers, sarah morris is hands on. now, she faces trying to stay open on strike days. that's the government advice. but with teachers striking over pay, she is worried it's become harder to attract people into teaching. it's the recruitment initially that's quite difficult. i've certainly seen over the years when we advertise a position, the number

of applicants is just dwindling. so that's really difficult in terms of what we can offer sort of young recruits into the profession. and then when they're in, i suppose it's the retention side that's difficult, because of that burn—out, i think as well. in england, each school will make its own decision. updated guidelines say they are now allowed to use agency staff to cover. ministers want pupils facing exams and vulnerable children in school. for many parents and grandparents, it still means more juggling. we need to to pay our teachers, you know, a decent wage and attract the skills and the well trained. teachers who can't i afford luxuries in life. so i do understand the cost- of living and the demands of the job are quite a big impact for people. unless they change things now, it's going to get worse in the long run anyway. the education secretary for england, gillian keegan, said the strikes were

deeply disappointing. the prime minister has been very clear his focus is to halve inflation, and of course, you know, it is deeply disappointing for parents, for children, and it will have an impact, which is not really fair when you consider all of the disruption that they had during the pandemic. what do we want? 10%! _ when do we want it? now! _ in scotland, the strikes are now rolling across different areas. england and wales will follow soon, with the first strikes on the 1st of february across both nations. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. two new nurses' strikes are also planned for next month in england and wales, unless there is movement on pay, the royal college of nursing says. the walk—outs in february will be the biggest so far, with more than a third of nhs trusts in england, and all but one welsh health board, affected. downing street says they want constructive talks to continue. nicola sturgeon says a decision by the uk government

to block a bill passed in scotland is outrageous, and has vowed to fight it in court. the legislation had aimed to make it quicker and easier for trans people to change gender. but uk ministers say it would have a significant impact on equality laws. our lgbt and identity correspondent, lauren moss, explains. it split the political spectrum, and now it's causing divisions in the united kingdom. scotland's gender recognition reform bill, to simplify the process for people to change their legal sex, was voted through just before christmas, but not without controversy. thank you. the next... shame on you! and now the uk government has put the brakes on and the bill's come to a screeching halt. it's the first time westminster has ever used a section 35 order, effectively blocking the legislation from becoming law. some lgbt campaigners have described it as an attack on transgender people

and scottish democracy. i've been on the waiting list for the gender identity clinic forfour and a half, nearly five years now, with no sight of when i'm going to have my initial appointment. and the current process requires me to get a psychiatric diagnosis in order to obtain that certificate, to make that small change to my birth certificate. so this bill changes the process and makes it easierfor people like me to access that certificate, and to be able to update our legal documents. what does scotland's gender recognition reform bill propose to do? it'll remove the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria, the sense of unease someone experiences if their gender identity, or the perception of their gender, is different to the six registered when they were born. it'll lower the age people can apply, from 18t to 16, and they can do so after three months of living in their gender, or six months if they're under 18,

instead of two years. later today, in order to stop the bill, will go before the uk parliament. in a statement, the secretary of state for scotland, alisterjack, said he was concerned the legislation would have an adverse impact on the operation of great britain—wide equalities legislation. he said transgender people deserve respect, support and understanding, and it wasn't a decision taken lightly. some campaigners, concerned about the impact on single sex spaces such as prisons and refuges, say it needs more scrutiny. we've been hearing from women across the political spectrum, on both sides of the independence question, who are absolutely relieved and pleased that this has happened. so i think there's a broad consensus of support from women that the uk government, at least, have taken their rights seriously. this intervention is just the latest twist in the road, and with the scottish government indicating they'll appeal the decision, it's one that will likely end up playing out in the courts. lauren moss, bbc news. let's get more on this now with our

chief political correspondent, nick eardley. nick, this is a major intervention from the uk government, isn't it? yeah. it really is a big deal. it's the first time this has ever happened. this is the letter that the scottish secretary sent to nicola sturgeon last night, where he says he is worried about the adverse effect of the legislation if it's passed in scotland on things like single sex clubs, protections on equal pay. it is important for that issue of how you balance trans rights with women's rights. a big debate playing out in scotland for a few years. it is also a big deal in terms of how the uk works, because they say is an issue that is devolved. but it's the first time the uk government has used this power. the nuclear option, really.

they are saying, no, we are going to stop this becoming low because we are worried about the impact it is going to have. the message we are getting from uk ministers, certainly once i have been chatting to, is that they are open to the scottish parliament looking at this legislation again and saying, can we make some changes? that way, it can become a low. that may not be easy. there is some concern about whether that would effectively make the bill pointless. but i also get the impression chatting to people close to nicola sturgeon that they are absolutely furious about this. they are not convinced this is just a legal thing. they think it is a political thing as well. one senior person said to me last night they think this is basically the culture wars playing out in constitutional politics. it is a big deal, it is a big row. ithink politics. it is a big deal, it is a big row. i think we will hear more about it today in parliament. the parliament in westminster and the parliament in westminster and the parliament in westminster and the parliament in holyrood in edinburgh. and it does set up another clash with the scottish government, this

one there will be more legal battles over as well. thank you. 13 minutes past six on this special day. today is the 40th anniversary of the first ever edition of bbc breakfast. have you noticed anything different about us, perhaps? look at that! not my knees! it is the new clerk. —— clock. that is the clock that was put on the screen at nearly this time... the original, still the best clock. it looks kind of cool, an 80s retro thing. don't panic, everybody. it isjust for one day. the 40th anniversary of the first ever breakfast programme. we have got a special clock, and a very, very special friend. i've got a special friend here. i've got a special friend here. i've got a mug as well. i've got a mug as well. i am talking about the human in the

room! it is carol. how lovely it is to be here. it's like a royal visit! delighted to be here. it is such a treat. it is really nice. and on a day like today as well. did you feel it cold this morning? yes! last night temperatures fell as low as —8 in parts of oxfordshire, cumbria and the highlands. it is a cold start. the risk of ice. also a widespread hard frost. today we are looking at the sunny spells and also some snow showers. for some it is going to be windy as well. quite a bit of snow last night in devon and cornwall. some disruption. that is moving towards the channel islands, mixed in with some rain. for many it is going to be a dry day, a sunny day. some wintry showers. wintry showers in the north and west of scotland, coming in across northern

ireland, north—west england, the midlands and wales. not all of us will see them. pretty windy through the english channel. later, the winds will strengthen across the far north of scotland. these are the maximum temperatures. three in aberdeen, to six as we push down towards cardiff. no heatwave. as we had on through the evening and overnight come under clear skies temperatures will fall away rapidly. once again we are looking at more significant snow at low levels across parts of scotland. and we also have further snow showers coming across northern ireland, england and also wales. it is going to be very windy with gales across the north of scotland. a blizzard here with all that snow. in fact, there's about 28 centimetres of lying snow at the moment in the highlands. temperatures, one to “4. where we have got lying snow, temperatures could fall away as low as —10. as we head into tomorrow, once again we are looking at a lot of dry weather. a fair bit of

sunshine. hazy at times. some wintry showers down the east coast as well as in the west coast, being driven on a north—westerly or northerly wind. it is going to feel cold wherever you are. once again, these are the temperatures. 47 degrees. do you remember yesterday i was telling you remember yesterday i was telling you it looks like it is going to turn milder at the weekend? it is not necessarily for all of us now. a change in the forecast. it could stay cold. especially in the south and east. carol, lovely to have you here. some special friends coming in later? i know. francis watson! that will be fun. lots of you have been getting in touch to share your memories of the first time you watched breakfast, and how you'vejoined us to start your day ever since. let's hear about some of the moments from the last four decades which have stood out for you.

i set my alarm and i got into, not my pyjamas as per usual, but i dressed head to toe in my school uniform, so that i could save precious moments in the morning. and i remember getting into bed with my skirt, my shirt and my school tie done right up, feeling really uncomfortable, hoping that my mum would in and find me like that, because she would not have allowed me to get up that early. and sure enough, the alarm went off and i shot out onto the sofa and i was there for the opening credits, and i set mesmerised. i there for the opening credits, and i set mesmerised.— there for the opening credits, and i set mesmerised. i was 24 years old and expecting _ set mesmerised. i was 24 years old and expecting my — set mesmerised. i was 24 years old and expecting my first _ set mesmerised. i was 24 years old and expecting my first child. - set mesmerised. i was 24 years old and expecting my first child. i - and expecting my first child. i particularly remember diana moran, the green _ particularly remember diana moran, the green goddess, attempting to do exercise _ the green goddess, attempting to do exercise with her, but at nine months — exercise with her, but at nine months pregnant, i was a little cumbersome. | months pregnant, i was a little cumbersome-— months pregnant, i was a little cumbersome. . , ., cumbersome. i married my wife on the 15th ofjanuary. — cumbersome. i married my wife on the 15th of january, 1983. _ cumbersome. i married my wife on the 15th of january, 1983. two _ cumbersome. i married my wife on the 15th of january, 1983. two days - 15th ofjanuary, 1983. two days later— 15th ofjanuary, 1983. two days later i— 15th ofjanuary, 1983. two days later i found _ 15th ofjanuary, 1983. two days later i found myself _ 15th ofjanuary, 1983. two days later i found myself watching . 15th ofjanuary, 1983. two days i later i found myself watching your show _ later i found myself watching your show from — later i found myself watching your show from a — later i found myself watching your show from a hospital— later i found myself watching your show from a hospital bed - later i found myself watching your show from a hospital bed in - show from a hospital bed in eastbourne _ show from a hospital bed in eastbourne waiting - show from a hospital bed in eastbourne waiting to - show from a hospital bed in eastbourne waiting to have | show from a hospital bed in i eastbourne waiting to have my tonsils — eastbourne waiting to have my

will hit millions of pupils. the education secretary has written a piece in the paper, saying teachers are "turning their backs" on children. the front page also features a beautiful snowy photo — that was taken yesterday in hexham in northumberland. and most watched on the bbc website is... ..us! as we celebrate our 40th anniversary a video of breakfast bloopers is getting lots of views. shall we have a look? ben proud and james shall we have a look? ben proud and james guy. — shall we have a look? ben proud and james guy, congratulations. - shall we have a look? ben proud and james guy, congratulations. 0h! - shall we have a look? ben proud and james guy, congratulations. oh! i. james guy, congratulations. oh! i didn't see the step!— james guy, congratulations. oh! i didn't see the step! what do you do if ou do didn't see the step! what do you do if you do get _ didn't see the step! what do you do if you do get bitten? _ didn't see the step! what do you do if you do get bitten? what - didn't see the step! what do you do if you do get bitten? what is - didn't see the step! what do you do if you do get bitten? what is your i if you do get bitten? what is your advice? _ if you do get bitten? what is your advice? �* ., ., if you do get bitten? what is your advice?— do - if you do get bitten? what is your| advice?— do you advice? 0h! don't do that. do you remember —

morning. yes, unless you're lucky enough to have had a massive pay rise this year, chances are your wages aren't going anywhere near as far as they used to. wages are going up. they grew by an average 6.1% in the three months to october. but when you take into account rising inflation, which means you're paying more forfuel, food and energy, the value of the those wages actually fell by 2.7%. and where you work has a big impact on how much you're feeling the rising cost of living too. at the last count, private sector employees saw their pay go up by almost 7%, compared to the increase ofjust 2.7% for public sector employees. that gap between the public and private sectors is near a record high. and that perhaps goes some way to explaining the various strikes across different industries — mostly in the public sector — over the last year. 417,000 working days were lost to industrial action in october — the highest in more than 10 years.

so, it's a really challenging environment for workers at the moment. and employers are facing their own problems too. costs for energy and materials keep rising. andy verity reports from north yorkshire. near hawes in wensleydale, north yorkshire, some local businesses are starting to struggle as the economy continues to shrink. caroline rogers was made redundant two months ago from a traditional rope making business, outhwaite, that shut up shop after more than a century in business. it was absolutely devastating, but i think we had a feeling that it was coming. but it was still a massive shock when we were told. and my other half said, "right, well, why don't we buy the machinery?" now, she's keeping this endangered craft alive in the nearby village of askrigg, where she's hopeful that if she gets the orders she needs, she'll be able to employ former colleagues who lost theirjobs.

to get started i've roughly had to spend at least 18,000. so i'm not paying meself at the moment. i've got no wages coming in, so the quicker i make the orders, the better... ..well, the sooner i'll have some money in the bank. in hawes, david khan runs a family business of five caravan parks, employing 25 staff, and constantly advertising for more. with unemployment still close to record lows, it's not a lack of work that's the problem, but a lack of staff to do it. and now, profits are being squeezed hard by fuel costs, with the unit price of electricity going from 15 per unit to 70p. fuel isjust terrifying. pre—price increase, we were paying probably £40,000 a year. we're now paying — and the year is not even over yet — 120,000, is the bill so far. the help's minimal. it's putting a sticking plaster over septic spot, isn't it, really? in common with millions of firms, it's now facing such intense

cost pressure, that a business that could be growing is now planning to shrink. andy verity, bbc news. that is something we are hearing so much about. businesses trying to retain talent while meeting costs. not easy. that doesn't mean you are not entitled to ask for a pay rise. get on the bbc website. five excellent tips on how to secure that pay rise. experts say it is about getting the tone and timing right and being able to demonstrate why you deserve it. later in the programme we will get an update on the latestjob numbers. unemployment and vacancies. crucially, how much the gap between public and private sector pay continues, we expect, to grow. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning,

i'm asad ahmad. the bbc has discovered bribes and hundreds of duplicate concert tickets may be to blame for the crush that killed two people at the 02 academy brixton last month. a whistle—blower says that some security guards working at the venue were earning up to £1,000 a night in bribes from fans without tickets. ap security, who provide security staff at the venue, declined to comment. brixton academy licence holder academy music group has said it is committed to understanding what happened. you can hear more on that story with greg mckenzie — castrophe at the academy — on bbc radio 4's file on four programme tonight at 8 o'clock and on the bbc sounds app. the mayor of london is being accused of misleading the london assembly over his plans to extend the ultra low emission zone. conservatives say the mayor wrongly claimed that he'd not been briefed on the results of the consultation into widening the scheme. but the tories claim they've

got documents showing the mayor had been told that well over half of respondents were against expansion. city hall say any suggestion that sadiq khan or tfl tried to influence the outcome is untrue. there is to be a discussion about keeping street lights switched off for longer in essex. most street lights in the county essex are already off between 1am and 5am to keep running costs low and reduce carbon emissions. now, there's a proposal to have them off from midnight through to 6am. but labour and the liberal democrats have raised concerns over safety. let's take a look at the tubes. a lot going on. delays on the district. jubilee, metropolitan and piccadilly. that is because of signal failures. the severe weather emergency

protocol has been activated. it comes as temperatures dropped below zero overnight. it means councils open additional emergency accomodation for rough sleepers. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's a very cold start. temperatures last night down below —5 for some. a widespread and hard frost, but it is dry and sunny. you can see we are still hanging on to the northerly flow. the wind not quite as strong as yesterday, but it is still going to stay cold. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for ice for parts of surrey and parts of kent following yesterday's rain. that will have frozen overnight. we have high cloud this morning, some hazy sunshine. that will sink south through the day, bringing some blue sky. but it is going to stay very cold — 2—3c the maximum temperature. overnight, it is dry and clear. the wind starts to strengthen a little as we head through the night. that could move in some cloud. the temperature perhaps not going quite so low, —3, —4. still very cold. a widespread hard frost

tomorrow morning. the breeze a little stronger tomorrow but it is going to stay very cold. daytime temperatures single figures through the week, and night—time temperatures sub zero. i remember watching the first bbc breakfast. many happy returns to everybody. good morning, everybody. does anyone rememberthis? i know good morning, everybody. does anyone remember this? i know not all of you will. all this morning, we're celebrating 40 years since breakfast time first aired.

i was getting ready for school and put the television on and could not believe the news was on the television. television started at lunchtime in those days. you remember it particularly well. i have an aide memoir. should i call you adrian mole? i recently found my diary from that time. in among the stories about having a cold sore and trying to get out of pe, let me show you. i actually wrote on the 17th of january, 1983, about watching the very first edition of bbc breakfast time. my writing is messy now. talking about watching tv, having cornflakes. not believing this opportunity. and here we are today. very strange. 40 years on. i thought i would try to talk to some of the people involved in that first programme. phil collins was number one. we had pound notes, not pound coins.

and 13—year—old me crept downstairs... this is bbc one. ..to watch a bit of tv history. breakfast time. it's 6.30, monday, january the 17th, 1983. you're watching the first edition of bbc television's breakfast time — britain's first—ever regular early—morning television programme. letters and telegrams have been pouring into our offices here, wishing us luck with breakfast time. and just like adrian mole, who was also 13 at the time, i wrote about it in my diary. ourfirst look at monday's main stories. boy's v01cs: dear diary, - today i woke up at 6am to watch the most publicised — _ and now criticised — breakfast tv. it was good, but all news! it'sjust coming up to a quarter to seven.

imagine eating cornflakesj while watching mr bough. looking back now, it wasn't all news. cardboard cut—out. the content was varied, to put it mildly. you've turned up looking absolutely gorgeous. bend like this. a mix unlike anything we'd seen on tv before. stretch out, expanding the lungs. first time for years i've been up at this time in the morning. three planets moving from the sign of sagittarius means... look out! and all presented from a red sofa. that first programme was produced not in salford, where we make breakfast today, but at lime grove in west london, which was also home to grandstand, panorama and even doctor who. somebody�*s nicked the ruddy plaque! at least the last remnant of breakfast time and the bbc. 40 years after he presented the very first show, nick ross has brought me back. good morning to you. we really have been astonished

at the goodwill and the good wishes we've received. that's where the breakfast time studio was — as i recall, the first floor. i can't remember. you had to go upstairs. it was such a warren, i can't even remember. then you suddenly went into this magical space. when you were sitting there on the sofa, did you get a sense of who was watching, how many people were watching? we didn't know if anyone was watching, jon. i mean, you know... and of course, it was a fantastic hit right from the very start. how confident are you that you are going to be prime minister? well, i think we've got every chance of doing it. of course, we've got a lot of work to do. and you weren't wearing a tie. nobody mentioned it. it didn't matter because the the news itself was good enough, or the stories were so powerful. it doesn't matter whether you're wearing a tie or not, that's absolutely irrelevant. so you reckon i should be taking my tie off? charlie should be taking his tie off? absolutely. oh, interesting. i'll tell the boss. i'm not sure what he'd have to say. i'm absolutely delighted that you've still got a red sofa. i mean, it's not the original, but at least you've still got the red sofa. but where is the original?

what happened to that red leather sofa? it must be somewhere. well, i suspect it's junked. it's pretty ancient. i don't think it survived. i think i might know somebody who can tell us. one of the young production secretaries who was working on the programme in those early days is still working on breakfast today — and she knows everything. oh, my goodness. it was so exciting, because i had always wanted to work for the bbc and here i was on breakfast time. you know, it was revolutionary. it was new. well, let me put a summary of all that so you can read at your leisure. at the top, it's horrible. in the west, it's dull. in the east, it's quite nice. these days, in the gallery, there's loads of computers, lots of stuff is automated, but when you were doing the job, you were doing the timings literally with stopwatches in your hand. that's right. there were two. looking at these watches and you'd have the director saying, "how long left in this item? how long left in the programme?" how stressful was that?

i can't imagine. it was, but it focused you. and when you brought the programme out on time at the end — yes! and when you didn't? it was oh, no! francis, you haven't mentioned northern ireland. sorry. very cross — and rightly so. i am sorry. - i do apologise. do you have any idea what happened to that original red leather sofa? i'm trying to find it. you know, i think some of it was thrown away, but i think some of it may have been auctioned for children in need. as for the rest, i don't know. it must be somewhere. must be somewhere. you haven't got it? no, i don't. so i did what would have seemed unthinkable back in 1983. i put an appeal on social media. i think it's a cracker. one of our early presenters, fern britton, replied, saying she remembered the sofa, that the leather was embarrassingly squeaky, but she didn't know where it was. jeremy bowen also reminisced about the sofa he sat on 20 years ago, but he didn't know where to find the original. one viewer could tell me

the make and model, but then the trail went cold. dun, dun, dun! somebody could precisely identify the type of sofa. you have had it remade? i do not need to have it remade. to be continued at 8:30am. you would not believe where we found it. ok. ifound it. ok. i found it. all of it? ok. ifound it. all of it? i spent 150 hours on it, but we found it. it has been made into leather jackets? we will not have to wear it. fantastic stuff there. the mix in the programme and it was not all news as i complained at the time. it wasn't. we had a resident fitness guru. the green goddess.

diana moran was at waterloo getting commuters involved in an aerobics routine. let's take a look. it's cold, it's dark, it's a bit miserable. but come on, britain, wake up, shape up and stretch up. let's get britain fit. take your shoes off. gentlemen, undo your coats. make yourself comfortable. but your papers down and your pipes and your umbrellas and let's all of us get fit. britain is going to show a leg and stretch this morning. stretch out. expanding the lungs and then down we go again. and up and stretch. any of the british rail like to come and join us as well? a stretch in the morning. anyhow, let's put that to music, because keep fit should be fun. up and stretch out. down again.

and took a two sets to love lead against berrentini. who is ranked 14th in the world, so a tough opening draw, semifnalist in melbourne last year. he hit back to take the third set. andy murray showing glimpses of his best we have seen through the years. british number two dan evans also in action, he was two sets to one up against facundo bagnis, but play was suspended just before 2pm local time, due to high humidity and temperatures of 37 celsius. it is 3-3 it is 3—3 in the fourth set. novak djokovic is set to play his first match at the australian open in two years, as he takes on unseeded spaniard roberto carballes baena in the first round later. the world number five was deported from the country ahead of last

year's tournament due to his unvaccinated status and this saw him forfeit his title, having won it three years in a row before 2022. fans in melbourne seem happy to have djokovic back on the court. definitely need him in. ithink covid, we are a bit past it now. unfortunate what happened last year. it is good to have him back. he is my favourite _ it is good to have him back. he is my favourite player. _ it is good to have him back. he is my favourite player. that - it is good to have him back. he is my favourite player. that is - it is good to have him back. he is my favourite player. that is good. i am glad _ my favourite player. that is good. i am glad he — my favourite player. that is good. i am glad he is playing this year. | am glad he is playing this year. i think djokovic is favourite, most likely— think djokovic is favourite, most likely to — think djokovic is favourite, most likely to win _ think djokovic is favourite, most likely to win i— think djokovic is favourite, most likely to win. i think— think djokovic is favourite, most likely to win. i think he - think djokovic is favourite, most likely to win. i think he has- think djokovic is favourite, most likely to win. i think he has an i likely to win. i think he has an easier— likely to win. i think he has an easier half— likely to win. i think he has an easier half the _ likely to win. i think he has an easier half the rafa _ likely to win. i think he has an easier half the rafa nadal- likely to win. i think he has an easier half the rafa nadal but| likely to win. i think he has anl easier half the rafa nadal but i would — easier half the rafa nadal but i would like _ easier half the rafa nadal but i would like to _ easier half the rafa nadal but i would like to see _ easier half the rafa nadal but i would like to see them - easier half the rafa nadal but i would like to see them in - easier half the rafa nadal but i would like to see them in the i easier half the rafa nadal but i - would like to see them in the final. yesterday we saw the supporter who'd kicked arsenal goalkeeper aaron ransdale. now everton have confirmed they'll be reviewing their own security arrangements after a threat to the safety of the club's directors. they were told not to attend saturday's game with southampton after receiving threatening correspndence. their next match at home to arsenal

has been categorised as high risk, following consultation with merseyside police — the club said enhanced measures will be put in place. jurgen klopp says he will not go from anfield despite liverpool's difficult season, one which continues with their fa cup third round replay at wolves tonight. a late equaliser from wolves at anfield took the tie to a return leg. he said defeat at brighton last weekend was the worst of his career, but that he's planning for the future and will remain. he does not think there is a quick fix to their current struggles. and finally you might remember this extraordinary moment from last summer's euros. alessia russo's brilliant backheel against sweden. it's been nominated for the puskas award — one of three by female players on the shortlist up for the best goal of the year. but perhapos greater significance, russo said it was huge for the women's game to be included alongside players like mbappe.

his volley in the world cup final is on the list. it shows how the game is developing. a great moment to see her alongside other big names in football. a cracking goal. more than 23,000 schools in england and wales will be affected after the uk's largest education union voted in favour of strike action. the national education union has announced three strikes in february and march, as well as several other regional dates. we're joined now by kevin courtney, joint general secretary of the neu. good morning. this generation of kids have had so much disruption through covid. is it right and fair to disrupt them with a strike? latte to disrupt them with a strike? we are to disrupt them with a strike? - are trying to put right the disruption happening every day in school. we hear story after story of special needs support assistants

leaving theirjob to work in a supermarket because it is better pay and we hear of children studying gcse chemistry where chemistry teachers have left school so they are learning from textbooks with nonspecialist teachers and we hear from primary schools where they cannot get permanent staff and there is a succession of temporary teachers. that is the disruption every day. the government knows that is happening and they know it is about pay, a fundamental reason and we know that because the institute for fiscal studies told them last week, the nationalfoundation of educational research told them yesterday. they know it is a problem and they need to put it right. we do not want to disrupt anything. we want the government to talk with us to avoid disruption going on every in schools. . to avoid disruption going on every in schools. , ., to avoid disruption going on every in schools-— to avoid disruption going on every in schools. , . , ., ., , in schools. kids and mums and dads watchin: in schools. kids and mums and dads watching now. _ in schools. kids and mums and dads watching now, going _ in schools. kids and mums and dads watching now, going after— in schools. kids and mums and dads watching now, going after lessons, | watching now, going after lessons, getting on the bus, they have gcses in the next weeks. they will be

hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. the bbc has discovered bribes and hundreds of duplicate concert tickets may be to blame for the crush which killed two people at the 02 academy brixton last month. a whistle—blower says that some security guards working at the venue were earning up to a thousand pounds a night in bribes from fans without tickets. ap security, who provide security staff at the venue, declined to comment. brixton academy licence holder academy music group has said it is "committed to understanding what happened". and you can hear more on that story with greg mckenzie, catastrophe at the academy on bbc radio 4's file on four programme tonight at eight o'clock and on the bbc sounds app. the mayor of london is being accused of misleading the london assembly over his plans to extend the ultra low emission zone. conservatives say the mayor wrongly claimed that

he'd not been briefed on the results of the consultation into widening the scheme. they say they've got documents showing the mayor had been told that well over half of respondents were against expansion. city hall say any suggestion that sadiq khan or tfl tried to influence the outcome is untrue. there's to be a discussion about keeping street lights switched off for longer in essex. most street lights in the county are already off between 1 and 5am, to keep running costs low and reduce carbon emissions. now, there's a proposal to have them off from midnight through to 6am. but labour and the liberal democrats have raised concerns over safety. let's take a look at the tubes now. the severe weather emergency protocol has been activated.

it comes as temperatures dropped below zero overnight. it means councils open additional emergency accommodation for rough sleepers. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's a very cold start. temperatures last night down below —5 for some. a widespread and hard frost, but it is dry and sunny. you can see we are still hanging on to the northerly flow. the wind not quite as strong as yesterday but it is still going to stay cold. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for ice for parts of surrey and parts of kent following yesterday's rain. that will have frozen over we have high cloud this morning, some hazy sunshine. that will sink south through the day, bringing some blue sky. but it is going to stay very cold — 2—3c the maximum temperature. overnight, it is dry and clear. the wind starts to strengthen a little as we head through the night. that could move in some cloud. the temperature perhaps not going quite so low, —3, —4. still very cold.

"what is happening in this country?" people even used the word immoral. but we're still here — 40 years later! we're celebrating a special birthday on the programme this morning. and we'll be taking a few trips down memory lane.

good morning. it's tuesday, the 17th january. the metropolitan police force is investigating a thousand allegations of abuse involving around 800 of its officers. it comes after pc david carrick pleaded guilty to 49 offences, including dozens of rapes — the worst—ever case of a serving police officer. met police commissioner sir mark rowley apologised to carrick�*s victims, and for the failure of the force. frances read reports. nojustice, no peace! they say change is necessary. for them, promises from the met police that no stone will go unturned, not enough. the force is now investigating 1000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving around 800 police officers. and every one of the met�*s 45,000 officers and staff are having their records checked against the national database. it comes after david carrick, a serving police officer for two decades, admitted 249 offences.

he was able to commit multiple rapes and sexual assaults, unnoticed by the force. he served in the same unit as officer wayne couzens. yesterday, the met commissioner apologised to carrick�*s victims. not only have we let than the women in this case, the survivors who've courageously come forward, i completely recognise that is going to be the reaction of many women across london, indeed more widely. all i can say is, i'm sorry. i'm sorry that we've let you down. because there were warnings ahead of his police career. before he joined the met he was a suspect in two offences involving a former partner. the following year he passed the met�*s vetting procedure. between 2002 and 2009, he was accused of a number of incidents involving women, including harassment and domestic violence. in 2009, he applied to join the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. seven years later,

he was a a harassment complaint. yet 12 months later, he got through his police vetting again. in 2019, he faced another allegation of domestic violence. then, in 2021, there was a rape complaint made against him. yet he was allowed to carry on working, with only restricted duties. critics say it is that which is so troubling. there will be other people like david carrick who have been allowed to continue with their abusive behaviour, allowed to rape women whilst they are serving officers. they are not being dealt with properly, they are not being dealt with quickly, and they are not being taken out of the police service where they have so much power. and in my view, there are solutions, but to do that, the met, especially the met, have to admit they've got a problem. what do we want? justice! when do we want it? now! in 2021, the murder of sarah everard at the hands of a serving met officer was supposed to be a watershed moment. those here say that the change

has never happened. frances read, bbc news. teachers in england and wales have voted to go on strike. the national education union says its members will walk out for seven days during february and march, as part of a dispute over pay. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports. i love that i'm your favourite crayon for grapes and dragons and wizards hats. like many primary headteachers, sarah morris is hands on. now, she faces trying to stay open on strike days. that's the government advice. but with teachers striking over pay, she is worried it's become harder to attract people into teaching. it's the recruitment initially that's quite difficult. i've certainly seen over the years when we advertise a position, the number of applicants is just dwindling. so that's really difficult in terms of what we can offer sort of young recruits into the profession. and then when they're in,

i suppose it's the retention side that's difficult, because of that burn—out, i think as well. in england, each school will make its own decision. updated guidelines say they are now allowed to use agency staff to cover. ministers want pupils facing exams and vulnerable children in school. for many parents and grandparents, it still means more juggling. we need to to pay our teachers, you know, a decent wage and attract the skilled and the well trained. teachers who can't i afford luxuries in life. so i do understand the cost- of living and the demands of the job are quite a big impact for people. unless they change things now, it's going to get worse in the long run anyway. the education secretary for england, gillian keegan, said the strikes were deeply disappointing. the prime minister has been very clear his focus is to halve inflation, and of course,

you know, it is deeply disappointing for parents, for children, and it will have an impact, which is not really fair when you consider all of the disruption that they had during the pandemic. what do we want? 10%i _ when do we want it? now! _ in scotland, the strikes are now rolling across different areas. england and wales will follow soon, with the first strikes on the 1st of february across both nations. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. two new nurses' strikes are also planned for next month in england and wales, unless there is movement on pay. the royal college of nursing says the walkouts in february will be the biggest so far, with more than a third of nhs trusts in england, and all but one welsh health board, affected. downing street says they want constructive talks to continue. nicola sturgeon says a decision by the uk government to block a bill passed in scotland is outrageous, and has vowed to fight it in court. the legislation had aimed to make it quicker and easier

for trans people to change gender, but uk ministers say it would have a significant impact on equality laws. we can speak now to our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. lorna, how significant is this intervention? it really is a major intervention. westminster has successfully challenged legislation passed by hollywood before on the basis that msps exceeded their powers. this is the first time they are blocking a law passed in holyrood on the basis they believe it will have a negative impact on uk law. it is worth looking at the letter that alister jack, rishi sunak�*s man in scotland, sent to the first minister, nicola sturgeon, yesterday, informing her he would trigger a section 35, the first time that has been used in the nearly quarter of a century it has been on the statute books. he said

both governments have a shared desire to protect both the rights of women and transgender people, but that he was concerned about the adverse impact on, amongst other things, gp wide equality legislation. he will set out later today in full what he considers to be these adverse effects. but he mentioned he was concerned about the impact on single sex clubs, associations and schools, the protection of things like equal pay and the chilling effect on single sex spaces. he also said there would be significant complications from having too many different gender recognition regimes in the uk. nicola sturgeon has said this is a full frontal attack on the scottish parliament and its ability to make its own decisions on devolved matters. she said the government and the parliament will defend the bill. i think this very controversial legislation is turning into a constitutional clash which is heading to the courts.

thank you. social media bosses could face jail if they repeatedly fail to protect children from online harm, under new changes to the online safety bill. the prime minister rishi sunak backed down to calls for tougher punishments as part of the legislation, which will begin its final stage in the house of commons today. john maguire has been speaking to the mother of felix alexander, who took his own life after years of being bullied on social media. felix alexander took his own life in 2016. he was just 17 years old. so, felix was a really funny, really bright, really engaging young man, whose personality, i think, wasjust eroded over time, as the more abuse he received from people, the less confident and the less effusive he became. felix was bullied at school. behaviour that began face to face,

then moved to online messages, where it became all consuming. he was told constantly how worthless he was, how ugly he was, how he should kill himself, how he should hang himself and video it. it was just — it wasn't the same person every day. it might be, but it was somebody every day said something. and because of the nature of social media, itjust became... ..all encompassing. and that became his life. and itjust depleted him. it is a modern day nightmare for parents — difficult to understand, and even harder to prevent. lucy wants stricter control of social media, better education for young people, tougher laws, more responsibility taken by the companies, but is concerned that this online safety bill doesn't go far enough.

we have to be a little bit broader in the people that we are protecting, because it's notjust the under 16 year olds or the under 18—year—olds. anyone under 25 is still very vulnerable, and very vulnerable to this kind of abuse. like other parents with children who've died after reading or viewing harmful content online, lucy is speaking out to try to avoid this happening again, to save a family, and to prevent the loss of yet another young life. john maguire, bbc news, worcester. we're joined now by stuart stephens — father of olly stephens, who was murdered injanuary 2021, in an attack that had been planned by people he had met online. we can also talk to andy burrows, former head of child safety online policy at the nspcc, and advisor to the molly russell foundation.

police are advising people to only travel if "absolutely essential" after freezing weather conditions resulted in dozens of road accidents overnight. cornwall — where these pictures are from — is one of the worst places affected. the met office has said all of england will continue to experience cold weather until friday. carol's here in the studio. morning. good morning. it will go on until friday, for some even into the weekend, a bit longer than we thought originally. this morning, if you are heading out, don't forget there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. we are talking about pavements as well as roads. there is a widespread frost. temperatures last night fell as low as just below —9 in oxfordshire, cumbria and part of the highlands. today what we are looking at is a mixture of sunny spells and also some snow showers. we have seen some rain, sleet and snow in devon and

a whistle—blower says that some security guards working at the venue were earning up to £1,000 a night in bribes from fans without tickets. ap security, who provide security staff at the venue, declined to comment. brixton academy licence holder academy music group has said it is committed to understanding what happened. and you can hear more on that story — castrophe at the academy — on bbc radio a's file on four programme tonight at eight o'clock and on the bbc sounds app. and reporter greg mckenzie — who's behind the investigation — will be on bbc radio london in around 20 minutes to talk about what he's found. the mayor of london has been accused of providing "false and misleading" information over his ultra—low emission zone expansion plans. after a consultation, it was decided late last year that, from august, it'll cover all london boroughs. the conservatives allege city hall officials tried to manipulate

the consultation process. the mayor's office said sadiq khan was not informed on its progress and only made decisions after the final report. there's to be a discussion about keeping street lights switched off for longer in essex. most street lights in the county are already off between 1am and 5am to keep running costs low and reduce carbon emissions. now, there's a proposal to have them off from midnight through to 6am. but labour and the liberal democrats have raised concerns over safety. let's take a look at the tubes. the situation has improved a bit. severe delays onjubilee and piccadilly. the severe weather emergency protocol has been activated. it comes as temperatures dropped below zero overnight. it means councils open additional emergency accomodation for rough sleepers. now the weather with kate. good morning.

it's a very cold start. temperatures last night down below —5 for some. a widespread and hard frost, but it is dry and sunny. you can see we are still hanging on to the northerly flow. the wind not quite as strong as yesterday, but it is still going to stay cold. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for ice for parts of surrey and parts of kent following yesterday's rain. that will have frozen overnight. we have high cloud this morning, some hazy sunshine. that will sink south through the day, bringing some blue sky. but it is going to stay very cold — 2—3c the maximum temperature. overnight, it is dry and clear. the wind starts to strengthen a little as we head through the night. that could move in some cloud. the temperature perhaps not going quite so low, —3, —a. still very cold. a widespread hard frost tomorrow morning. the breeze a little stronger tomorrow but it is going to stay very cold. daytime temperatures single figures through the week, and night—time temperatures sub zero.

that's it. i'll be back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. a0 yea rs a0 years after breakfast television began in the uk with breakfast time. this morning we havejumpers somewhere. and we have the clock back. you have a jumper. i do not think i have a jumper. you have a tank top. and we have a retro clock which is exactly as it appeared on—screen the first edition. forthose appeared on—screen the first edition. for those older than a0. an analog clock which is proving controversial. i love the clock. it looks really clear. not everyone does. it is only temporary. jess said we should have it every day like this because it teaches kids to tell the time properly and she says bring back the original red

leather sofas. there is a technical problem with the red leather sofa. it is squeaky. apparently so. not very popular. fern britton got in touch to say the leather sofa was not always your best friend. and if you wore leather trousers, which i do not intend, the added heat and combustion problems. more about the a0th anniversary coming up. more than 23,000 schools in england and wales will be affected after the uk's largest education union voted in favour of strike action. the national education union has announced three strikes in february and march, as well as several other regional dates. we're joined now by the education secretary gillian keegan. good morning. the transport secretary is dealing with strikes and so is the health secretary and now you are dealing with strikes. how will you make a difference? the

first thing i did when i got thejob on the 25th of october is i had a letter from on the 25th of october is i had a letterfrom all four on the 25th of october is i had a letter from all four unions and they asked me for an extra £2 billion for next year and the year after to fund the pay rise the independent pay review body recommended which was higher than schools had budgeted. that was the first thing i had to do and we got that money, unlike most sectors, we were given in the autumn statement an extra £2 billion for next year and the year after to deal with the cost—of—living crisis and take pressure off budgets. hopefully that has helped. it is disappointing that has helped. it is disappointing that one union has narrowly met the minimum requirements. ithinkjust under half voted for strike action, 53% turnout and 90% voted for strikes. it is important also to note the two head teachers unions,

one of the other unions and the teaching assistant union have not voted for strike action. hopefully, the guidance we issued last night, hopefully they can keep as many schools open as possible. considering the answer and listening to what you said, i wonder why in the current cost—of—living crisis, a survey of one union found 5a% of teachers are cutting back on their food shop. a0% slashed spending on household goods that are essential in one intend taking second jobs. if things are ok, why are we hearing this? , _ this? the independent pay review bod takes this? the independent pay review body takes into _ this? the independent pay review body takes into account _ this? the independent pay review body takes into account a - this? the independent pay review body takes into account a lot - this? the independent pay review body takes into account a lot of i body takes into account a lot of factors. clearly, inflation, the spike in inflation has had an impact on everybody notjust in our country but everybody is feeling the pinch. inflation eats away at the pound in your pocket and makes everyone feel poorer. that is why the number one

thing we are trying to do is to halve inflation this year and if we can go beyond that we will. we are trying to tackle the key problem. the core problem is inflation which we are trying to tackle. that the core problem is inflation which we are trying to tackle.— we are trying to tackle. that will not be fixed _ we are trying to tackle. that will not be fixed quickly. _ we are trying to tackle. that will not be fixed quickly. what - we are trying to tackle. that will not be fixed quickly. what you l we are trying to tackle. that will. not be fixed quickly. what you are proposing according to teachers is a real terms pay cut. the proposing according to teachers is a real terms pay cut.— real terms pay cut. the inflation has started _ real terms pay cut. the inflation has started to _ real terms pay cut. the inflation has started to come _ real terms pay cut. the inflation has started to come down - real terms pay cut. the inflation has started to come down but . real terms pay cut. the inflation - has started to come down but clearly we do not want to bake in inflation for the whole country for a long time. that would not be a sensible response. when they look at teachers' pay, the headline figures are 5% for experienced teachers, 8.9% for new teachers. ithiith 8.9% for new teachers. with inflation above _ 8.9% for new teachers. with inflation above 10%. - 8.9% for new teachers. with inflation above 10%. you - 8.9% for new teachers. with | inflation above 10%. you also 8.9% for new teachers. with - inflation above 10%. you also have inflation above 10%. you also have in the public _ inflation above 10%. you also have in the public sector, _ inflation above 10%. you also have in the public sector, you _ inflation above 10%. you also have in the public sector, you have - in the public sector, you have progression based on time and promotion. almost every newly experienced teacher and a0% of experienced teacher and a0% of experienced teachers will get pay

rises up to 15.9%. nobody talks about the progression, which is material, and then you have overall benefits, pensions, 23.6% employer contribution. you have to look at that and see how it measures up against other professions. that is what the independent pay review body do. they take nine inputs and ours is one. t do. they take nine inputs and ours is one. ., do. they take nine inputs and ours is one. . , ., i. is one. i am interested in what you make of the _ is one. i am interested in what you make of the institute _ is one. i am interested in what you make of the institute for _ is one. i am interested in what you make of the institute for fiscal - make of the institute for fiscal studies, the experienced teachers you mention, they have in effect have their pay cut by £6,600 or 13% in the last 12 years.— in the last 12 years. there has been a lot of changes _ in the last 12 years. there has been a lot of changes within _ in the last 12 years. there has been a lot of changes within our - in the last 12 years. there has been a lot of changes within our school l a lot of changes within our school system. our teachers do a fantastic job and do a fantasticjob helping children catch up from the pandemic. why do so many leave within the first five years?—

first five years? that has been a recruitment _ first five years? that has been a recruitment and _ first five years? that has been a recruitment and retention - first five years? that has been a - recruitment and retention challenge. in 2019 we put a strategy in place to address that. the simple things we have done is to ensure teachers are more supported on the way in with a mentor, someone who helps them adjust in their new profession. we have an early careers framework and additional teaching support and mentoring. that was introduced from 2021. something we addressed that we needed to look at to ensure people get used to and supported in their new teaching role. that is something we are focused on. you do not have to strike to get a meeting with me. i am very interested in supporting teachers who do a fantasticjob, changing lives every day. we teachers who do a fantastic 'ob, changing lives every day. we will move on. changing lives every day. we will move on- i _ changing lives every day. we will move on. i want _ changing lives every day. we will move on. i want to _ changing lives every day. we will move on. i want to talk- changing lives every day. we will move on. i want to talk about. changing lives every day. we will| move on. i want to talk about the changing lives every day. we will. move on. i want to talk about the uk government blocking the scottish bill to make it easierfor people

will set out and make a statement later in parliament today. there has been talk about _ later in parliament today. there has been talk about the _ later in parliament today. there has been talk about the effects - later in parliament today. there has been talk about the effects of - been talk about the effects of social media and influences on boys. i talk about the andrew tait case and also the growing influence of what you call toxic masculinity in schools. visit time to look again at how we educate children about misogyny? amie how we educate children about misogyny?— how we educate children about misorn? ., , misogyny? we did update relationship health and sex — misogyny? we did update relationship health and sex education _ misogyny? we did update relationship health and sex education and - misogyny? we did update relationship health and sex education and it - misogyny? we did update relationship health and sex education and it was i health and sex education and it was introduced in 2020 so it is new. that is where we have time and space to make sure we talk to children about healthy relationships and about healthy relationships and about how to develop those. and tolerance and acceptance of others and respect for women. we have updated that. that is flexible so there is empowerment for teachers to be able to focus that in ways they wish. i know in particular, they

pegged back and it has gone to a fifth set. but andy murray showing all the signs. he can do it. the skills that got him to the top of the game. andy murray, remember he missed two australian opens on the bounce before reaching the second round last year, this four years after he bid farewell to the tournament, he didn't think he'd be playing there again. berrettini with the momentum having won the last two sets taking the match to a decider. they are now at 5—5 in the fifth set. someone who is through — british number two dan evans, who beat facundo bagnis over four sets. this match suspended just before 2pm local time, due to high humidity and temperatures of 37 celsius. he led two sets to one at that point and once back under way evans found his rhythm again and took the fourth 6—a and faces jeremy chardy of france tomorrow.

novak djokovic plays his first match at the australian open in two years, taking on the unseeded spaniard roberto carballes baena in the first round later. the world number five was deported from the country ahead of last year's tournament due to his unvaccinated status as he forfeited his title, having won it three years in a row. he's seeking a record equalling 22nd grand slam title to go level with rafael nadal and a record extending tenth australian open crown. yesterday, we saw the supporter who'd kicked arsenal goalkeeper aaron ransdale. now everton have confirmed they'll be reviewing their own security arrangements after a threat to the safety of the club's directors. they were told not to attend saturday's game with southampton after receiving threatening correspndence. their next match at home to arsenal has been categorised as high risk, following consultation with merseyside police. the club said enhanced measures will be put in place. jurgen klopp says he will not go

from anfield despite liverpool's difficult season, one which continues with their fa cup third round replay at wolves tonight. a late equaliser from wolves at anfield took the tie to a return leg. he said defeat at brighton last weekend was the worst of his career, but that he's planning for the future and will remain. he doesn't think there is a quick fix to their current struggles though. but, here it's like when you have... when you have whatever. a broken leg or something like that. and everybody wants to hear it's no problem. tomorrow, you will go again. it's like, unfortunately, you need a couple of weeks, sometimes months, until you are ready. so nobody wants to hear it. so we have to make sure we make these steps. the only thing i want is to fix this situation. that's all. premiership rugby club finances are clearly unsustainable — a damning parliamentary report has concluded. it follows an investigation by the digital, culture, media and sport committee

investigating the financial decline of worcester warriors and wasps. mps have said that the problems faced by both clubs in recent months has left "a stain on the reputation" of the rfu and premiership rugby. concluding that poor oversight from the sport's governing bodies contributed to the clubs' collapses. in response the rfu has said that they and premiership rugby have been deeply concerned by the challenges faced by worcester warriors and wasps and continue to work with both clubs to find solutions. you might remember that extraordinary moment from last summer's euros. alessia russo's brilliant backheel against sweden. quality and brilliant improvisation. it's been nominated for the puskas award — one of three by female players on the shortlist up for the best goal of the year. but perhapos greater significance, russo said it was huge for the women's game to be included alongside players like kylian mbappe.

it shows how the women's game has developed a many years ago that would not be the case. not that many years ago. for goals in women's football to be included on the shortness. brilliant. a0 years ago today the first edition of breakfast television in the uk, breakfast time. women's sport. it probably would not have featured. we should see what sport was on. show how things are changing for the better. like bringing backjumpers, perhaps. bring them back. rolling back the years. you might notice a few differences on this morning's programme — as we celebrate our a0th anniversary. when it first came to air, it wasn't just news on the programme — it also had a resident fitness

guru the green goddess. diana moran was at waterloo getting commuters involved in an aerobics routine. and she's back there this morning with jayne mccubbin. good morning. you have the crowd. do you have the green goddess? i will do the introductions in a moment. she is here, the legend, a0 years ago, she said to commuters in london put down your briefcases and pipes, put down your umbrellas and let's get britain fit. good morning, everybody. we all remember the green goddess. these gentlemen, john and john, you are celebrating your own a0th anniversary. you joined the marines as 16—year—olds on this very day. they told me they worked out to the green goddess training. let's

milder air in scotland and northern ireland but in england and wales, still cold and unsettled because as the weather front comes in, it will bring rain. we hang on to cloud in southern and eastern england and also in wales and at times fog will be stubborn to clear. you can see the difference in temperatures. next week, you will find high pressure starts to build. things become more settled but it will be a cloudy high pressure and there will be some fog and once again that will be some fog and once again that will be slow to clear in places. the weather is topsy—turvy. we have a bit of this and a bit of that going on. and you are bringing us a retro forecast later.— and you are bringing us a retro forecast later. francis wilson will do the weather _ forecast later. francis wilson will do the weather and _ forecast later. francis wilson will do the weather and will - forecast later. francis wilson will do the weather and will use - forecast later. francis wilson will| do the weather and will use some rather nice charts. just do the weather and will use some rather nice charts.— rather nice charts. just like you did on the _

and certainly when we were here last winter and again in autumn, we saw way more wildlife than we thought we would see at night on those fields. it surprised everyone here at wild ken hill how much life is going on. we are very fortunate, is some ways, as naturalists, we have got all this new technology that allows us to peer into the private lives of these otherwise secretive animals, in the middle of the night. but, at the same time, we know that many of these species are in peril. and that tech effort is huge. this year, 16 wildlife cameras, 11 kilometres of cable. and a0 surprisingly calm engineers responsible for it. it is not without its challenges — weather, mud, animals chewing through cables. all those sorts of things. power. we are in quite a remote location compared with some of the obs we do in central london. so there are additional challenges when you start working with wildlife. this series, expectjackdaws, seals and, hopefully, a few surprises. trying to get the beavers on camera is very difficult,

so whenever we get the beavers and we get a little bit more information about them, that is always exciting. the difference that they have made in that enclosure is incredible. the water level coming up and the trees they have taken down, they are really starting to take hold in that habitat and change it for the better and for more wildlife. they are hoping a floating raft of rotten apples will lure them out. but the one thing you can be sure of is that the weather will make sure wild ken hill lives up to its name. we feel the cold more, don't we, dear? i've got tears running out of my eye because of the wind. the layers get more the older we get. i'm going to do a layer count. one, two, three, four top players. one, two, three, four top layers. two bottom layers. and even thick socks, these days. never used to wear thick socks. it's what it's come to. there is no shame in a pair of thick socks. ok, all right. no, there isn't. i can see you have got your own thick socks. janine machin, in thick socks, norfolk.

more behind—the—scenes. behind—the—scenes all morning. and plenty more coming up. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. the metropolitan police is investigating 800 of its own officers over sexual and domestic abuse claims, after a serving constable admitted a9 offences, including dozens of rapes.

teachers in england and wales are set to strike over seven days in february and march, in a dispute over pay. a row erupts between the uk and scottish governments after westminster announced plans to block the gender recognition reform bill passed by holyrood last month. wages rise at the fastest rate in two decades — but not fast enough. figures out in the last hour show inflation continues to outrun bigger pay packets. we look at the pressure that's putting on businesses. good morning. once again it is a cold and frosty start to the day. the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. for many it will be dry with winter sunshine. however, there is snow in the programme. it forecast. details later in the programme. people said, "television in the morning? "that's disgusting. a disgusting idea! "what is happening in this country?" people even used the word immoral.

but we're still here — a0 years later! we're celebrating a special birthday on the programme this morning, and will be taking a few trips down memory lane. good morning. it's tuesday, the 17th january. the metropolitan police force is investigating a thousand allegations of abuse involving around 800 of its officers. it comes after pc david carrick pleaded guilty to a9 offences, including dozens of rapes — the worst—ever case of a serving police officer. met police commissioner sir mark rowley apologised to carrick�*s victims and for the failure of the force. frances read reports. nojustice, no peace! they say change is necessary. for them, promises from the met police that no stone will go unturned, not enough.

the force is now investigating 1000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving around 800 police officers. and every one of the met�*s a5,000 officers and staff are having their records checked against the national database. it comes after david carrick, a serving police officer for two decades, admitted to a9 offences. he was able to commit multiple rapes and sexual assaults, unnoticed by the force. he served in the same unit as officer wayne couzens. yesterday, the met commissioner apologised to carrick�*s victims. not only have we let than the women in this case, the survivors who've courageously come forward, i completely recognise that is going to be the reaction of many women across london, indeed more widely. all i can say is, i'm sorry. i'm sorry that we've let you down. because there were warnings ahead of his police career. before he joined the met he was a suspect in two offences involving a former partner.

the following year he passed the met�*s vetting procedure. between 2002 and 2009, he was accused of a number of incidents involving women, including harassment and domestic violence. in 2009, he applied to join the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. seven years later, he was a suspect in a harassment complaint. yet 12 months later, he got through his police vetting again. in 2019, he faced another allegation of domestic violence. then, in 2021, there was a rape complaint made against him. yet he was allowed to carry on working, with only restricted duties. critics say it is that which is so troubling. there will be other people like david carrick who have been allowed to continue with their abusive behaviour, allowed to rape women whilst they are serving officers. they are not being dealt with properly, they are not being dealt with quickly, and they are not being taken out of the police service

where they have so much power. and in my view, there are solutions, but to do that, the met, especially the met, have to admit they've got a problem. what do we want? justice! when do we want it? now! in 2021, the murder of sarah everard at the hands of a serving met officer was supposed to be a watershed moment. those here say that the change has never happened. frances read, bbc news. metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowleyjoins us now. thank you forjoining us. i would just like to show our viewers the front pages of a couple of today's papers. the daily mail asking just how many more monsters in uniform? and the mirror pointing out nine chances to stop rapist cop. i guess

the question our viewers are asking this morning, is how on earth could this morning, is how on earth could this have happened?— this morning, is how on earth could this have happened? we've let london down. this have happened? we've let london down- david — this have happened? we've let london down. david carrick _ this have happened? we've let london down. david carrick has _ this have happened? we've let london down. david carrick has been - down. david carrick has been horrifically abusive. what he has done to his victims is truly apparent. their courage in coming forward is truly admirable. we have let london down. he has been a police officerfor 20 let london down. he has been a police officer for 20 years. through a combination of weak policies and weak decisions, over those 20 years weak decisions, over those 20 years we have missed opportunities. we should have removed him from policing. whether it would have affected him being a sex offender, i don't know, but he should not have been doing it as a police officer. i have been very clear since being appointed as commissioner last year that one of my top priorities is restoring integrity. to do that i need to take on the minority of

officers. our leadership needs to be more assertive to put it in the healthy state it needs to be, and the vast majority of others want to be. the vast ma'ority of others want to be. , ., , , ., be. ok, but the trouble is we have heard all this _ be. ok, but the trouble is we have heard all this before, _ be. ok, but the trouble is we have heard all this before, haven't - be. ok, but the trouble is we have heard all this before, haven't we? | heard all this before, haven't we? after the murder of sarah everard, yourfirst proclaimed it after the murder of sarah everard, your first proclaimed it was committed to protecting women. now it emerges that at that very time you weren't even checking the records of david carrick? that decision is — records of david carrick? that decision is in _ records of david carrick? that decision is in my _ records of david carrick? that decision is in my mind - records of david carrick? that decision is in my mind not - decision is in my mind not defensible. all i can speak to as my record in the past four months. i have launched an anti—corruption command. we have gone public and internal appeals which have generated more than 250 more investigations. we are systematically reviewing every member of police staff and police officer who we had any historic flags against for being involved in an incident involving domestic abuse xxx sexual violence. i'm sure many

will try to be of no concern but many will. i have many great men and women but hundreds to have —— but hundreds you should not be here. sorry. hundreds? hundreds you say that should not be here. are you saying that a woman could go in and report a crime today and speak to a police officer, and that police officer might be facing an investigation right now into potential sexual or domestic abuse, and she won't now?— and she won't now? people facing investigations _ and she won't now? people facing investigations for _ and she won't now? people facing investigations for anything - and she won't now? people facing i investigations for anything serious now, we have been much tougher. we are suspending more people. i am not going to turn around trust by doing this interview with you here today. trust us to be rebuilt. let people see we have rebuilt our foundations. our integrity are stronger. that is what will make the difference. judge me on the results, judge me on the work we are doing, and judge me on the removal of the minority are problematic officers will stop so these 800 officers who are now being

checked and investigated over allegations of sexual and domestic abuse, are they still working potentially this morning? the abuse, are they still working potentially this morning? are they rroin to potentially this morning? are they going to police _ potentially this morning? are they going to police stations _ potentially this morning? are they going to police stations and - potentially this morning? are they| going to police stations and dealing with londoners? we going to police stations and dealing with londoners?— with londoners? we are reviewing those cases- _ with londoners? we are reviewing those cases. all— with londoners? we are reviewing those cases. all of _ with londoners? we are reviewing those cases. all of those - with londoners? we are reviewing those cases. all of those cases - with londoners? we are reviewing| those cases. all of those cases are being looked at, have been looked at previously. given are a track record, that is why we are looking back at them again. some of them will be incidents where neighbour has overheard voices next door. we have turned up, there is nothing of concern. that gets flagged up as a domestic incident. others are concerning. we have to step through them and check previous decision—making. based on what we have seen with carrick, some of our decisions will be wrong. that is why we are rooting out those. ih decisions will be wrong. that is why we are rooting out those.— we are rooting out those. in the meantime. _ we are rooting out those. in the meantime, 800 _ we are rooting out those. in the meantime, 800 remain - we are rooting out those. in the meantime, 800 remain in - we are rooting out those. in the meantime, 800 remain in their| we are rooting out those. in the - meantime, 800 remain in theirjobs? we are reviewing them very quickly. we are reviewing them very quickly. we have got —— anybody we have a substantive allegation against for a serious offence, won't be dealing

are collectively determined to protect our integrity. judge us by our results, not my words. we will deliver. on the 31st of march i will be writing an open letter to the home secretary and the mayor detailing what we have done so far. judge me by my results. hath? detailing what we have done so far. judge me by my results. why would an ounr judge me by my results. why would any young woman — judge me by my results. why would any young woman considering - judge me by my results. why would any young woman considering a i judge me by my results. why would i any young woman considering a career in policing want tojoin any young woman considering a career in policing want to join the metropolitan police right now? because i want to see change. our culture needs to change. we are currently recruiting well over 35, a0% of our recruits are women. they make a fantastic contribution. i'd love it to be 50%. our culture is changing. that is part of my mission. we want those people who want to see something different, to join us. in want to see something different, to 'oin us. ., want to see something different, to 'oin us. . a, ., , , join us. in the meantime, baroness case is join us. in the meantime, baroness casey is conducting _ join us. in the meantime, baroness casey is conducting a _ join us. in the meantime, baroness casey is conducting a review- join us. in the meantime, baroness casey is conducting a review of- join us. in the meantime, baroness casey is conducting a review of the | casey is conducting a review of the metropolitan police's standardsand internal culture. she is calling now

and wizards hats. like many primary headteachers, sarah morris is hands on. now, she faces trying to stay open on strike days. that's the government advice. but with teachers striking over pay, she is worried it's become harder to attract people into teaching. it's the recruitment initially that's quite difficult. i've certainly seen over the years when we advertise a position, the number of applicants is just dwindling. so that's really difficult in terms of what we can offer sort of young recruits into the profession. and then when they're in, i suppose it's the retention side that's difficult, because of that burn—out, i think as well. in england, each school will make its own decision. updated guidelines say they are now allowed to use agency staff to cover. ministers want pupils facing exams and vulnerable children in school. for many parents and grandparents,

it still means more juggling. we need to to pay our teachers, you know, a decent wage and attract the skilled and the well trained. teachers who can't i afford luxuries in life. so i do understand the cost- of living and the demands of the job are quite a big impact for people. unless they change things now, it's going to get worse in the long run anyway. the education secretary for england, gillian keegan, said the strikes were deeply disappointing. the prime minister has been very clear his focus is to halve inflation, and of course, you know, it is deeply disappointing for parents, for children, and it will have an impact, which is not really fair when you consider all of the disruption that they had during the pandemic. what do we want? 10%! _ when do we want it? now! _ in scotland, the strikes are now rolling across different areas. england and wales will follow soon, with the first strikes on the 1st of february across both nations.

branwen jeffreys, bbc news. nicola sturgeon says a decision by the uk government to block a bill passed in scotland is outrageous, and has vowed to fight it in court. the legislation had aimed to make it quicker and easier for trans people to change gender, but uk ministers say it would have a significant impact on equality laws. we can speak now to our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. lorna, how significant is this intervention? this is a big move by the westminster government. section 35 has been on the statute book for almost a quarter of a century, but this will be the first time they have used it. nicola sturgeon says it is a full frontal attack on the scottish parliament and its ability to make its own decisions on devolved matters. we have heard the

socialjustice secretary this morning on the radio explaining that the scottish government believes this law that was passed to hollywood just before christmas simplifies the process for obtaining a significant, a certificate, saying that somebody has changed their gender, but it doesn't affect the purpose or use of that certificate. he also says there was an amendment in that bill that put beyond doubt the impact of the equality act. the problem is that alisterjack, rishi sunak�*s man in scotland, the scottish secretary at the westminster government, does not agree. they have taken legal advice. they say the two governments have a shared desire to protect both the rights of women and of transgender people. but that he is concerned about the adverse impact of this legislation, not least its potential impact on equality legislation. he will set out later today in full

what his concerns are. but it has been a controversial piece of legislation. it was heavily consulted on. and it's now turning into a constitutional clash that is heading to the courts. thank you. the bbc has discovered bribes and duplicate concert tickets may be to blame for the crush which killed two people at the 02 academy in brixton last month. a whistle—blower — who was working as a security guard on the night — has told the bbc�*s file on a programme, that some staff at brixton academy were regularly earning up to £1,000 a night in bribes from fans without tickets. ap security, who provide the security staff at the venue, declined to comment on these claims. brixton academy licence holder academy music group has said it is committed to understanding what happened. police are advising people to only travel if absolutely essential

after freezing weather conditions resulted in dozens of road accidents overnight. cornwall — where these pictures are from — is one of the worst places affected. the met office has said all of england will continue to experience cold weather until friday. delighted to say carol is in the studio with this. it might stay cold or even longer than that? that is right. for some of us, well into the weekend for parts of england and wales. scotland and northern ireland will see something milder by the weekend. a cold start to the day. when we were coming and it was rather chilly! freezing for many. the temperatures in some parts of northern england last night fell to minus 9.a degrees. today what we have got are sunny spells and further snow showers. that is after an icy start. notjust on the roads but also the pavements. by that amount. a frost. the rain, sleet and

snow affecting the southwest is pulling away as we go through the day the channel islands. and here too, the wind will strengthen through the english channel. for the bulk of the country today, it is going to be dry and they will be some sunshine. there will be still wintry showers in the focus. in the north and west of scotland, and also northern ireland, northwest angle, the isle of man, getting to the north midlands, and also wales. —— north midlands, and also wales. —— north west england. it is a cold day. the wind chill really exacerbating the cold feel, with the wind strengthening across the far north of scotland. temperatures today, two to 6 degrees. it will feel colder. temperatures will fall away when it gets dark. clear skies tonight. more significant snow falling across scotland, where the totals are really accumulating, especially in the highlands and grampians. here too there will be gales. we are looking at blizzards. further wintry showers in northern ireland, england and wales. and a

widespread frost once again with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. as we head into tomorrow, they will be a lot of sunshine. still a lot of snow coming in across scotland. down the east coast as well, an area of low pressure drifts down the east coast, we will see the wind strengthen and some wintry showers. in the west too we have a brisk wind blowing in some snow showers across western scotland, northern ireland, parts of western england and wales. these are the maximum temperatures. although tomorrow is still going to be culled, it is not going to be quite as cold as it is today. —— cold. thank you. don't go too far away. we need you. stay with us for the next hour. the good news is, we have got a birthday cake coming in shortly and there are lots of candles on that to us warm. i am definitely staying! yes, we are celebrating a0 years of breakfast television in the uk this morning. a0 years ago this very

morning. a0 years ago this very morning breakfast time launched. with, you might not know this, the brand—new little blue clock that you are seeing in the corner of the screen. that was the original plot. it is quite divisive this morning. i love it. it brings back all kinds of memories. but the problem we hadn't foreseen is that there are a lot of younger people who have never seen an analogue clock, trying to work out what that strange blue thing is on the bottom of the screen! it is a clock, guys, ok?! if it helps, the time is a 22 am. that is the talking club. they will remember that either. i like the club. it is only here for a day. that is the current rule. we need legwarmers, rubik cubes, the lot. we are going to be we need legwarmers, rubik cubes, the lot. we are going to he sat a0 years in the next hour. we will save you some cake as well. wages are growing at their fastest rate in 20 years, but are still failing to keep up with the pace of inflation, according

to new figures from the office for national statistics. nina's taking a look for us. morning. happy birthday. i'm going to put a damper on it. this is really interesting, what we are hearing. lots of people re—entering the market. thejobs market. wages are going up but because of inflation and rising costs, we are feeling worse good morning. yes, unless you're lucky enough to have had a massive pay rise this year, chances are your wages aren't going anywhere near as far as they used to. wages are going up. they grew by an average 6.a% in the three months to november. that's actually the swiftest climb for two decades. but when you take into account rising inflation, which means you're paying more forfuel, food and energy, the value of the those wages actually fell by 2.6%. and where you work continues to have an impact on how much more you're getting. on average, private sector employees saw their pay go up by almost 7.2%,

compared to the increase of 3.3% for public sector employees. that public—private gap actually closed, slightly, but remains vast. and that perhaps goes some way to explaining the past few month of strikes, largely in the public sector. in november, a67,000 working days were lost to strike action. the last six months have seen the most strike days lost for 30 years. a challenging environment for workers wanting pay to match prices, and in turn, for employers trying to meet that demand as costs for energy and materials are rising too. andy verity reports from wensleydale in north yorkshire. near hawes in wensleydale, north yorkshire, some local businesses are starting to struggle as the economy continues to shrink. caroline rogers was made redundant two months ago from a traditional rope making business, outhwaite, that shut up shop after more than a

century in business. it was absolutely devastating, but i think we had a feeling that it was coming. but it was still a massive shock when we were told. and my other half said, "right, well, why don't we buy the machinery?" now, she's keeping this endangered craft alive in the nearby village of askrigg, where she's hopeful that if she gets the orders she needs, she'll be able to employ former colleagues who lost theirjobs. to get started i've roughly had to spend at least 18,000. so i'm not paying meself at the moment. i've got no wages coming in, so the quicker i make the orders, the better... ..well, the sooner i'll have some money in the bank. in hawes, david khan runs a family business of five caravan parks, employing 25 staff, and constantly advertising for more. with unemployment still close to record lows, it's not a lack of work that's the problem, but a lack of staff to do it. and now, profits are being squeezed hard by fuel costs, with the unit

price of electricity going from 15 per unit to 70p. fuel isjust terrifying. pre—price increase, we were paying probably £40,000 a year. we're now paying — and the year is not even over yet — 120,000, is the bill so far. the help's minimal. it's putting a sticking plaster over septic spot, isn't it, really? in common with millions of firms, it's now facing such intense cost pressure, that a business that could be growing is now planning to shrink. andy verity, bbc news. a range of worries for businesses. a very interesting bit of detail. record numbers of people aged 50—6a re—entered the jobs market over the autumn after the pandemic. statistically it looks like they're finding it easier to secure work than younger groups. if that continues, it could help employers like david. but what david would like to see — what we'd all like to see —

is costs coming down. if that happens — and the morning this chancellor has reiterated his pledge to halve inflation this year — then these competitive wage rises will mean real pay. so, that's how far your money actually goes will start to look a bit healthier. but there are a lot of ifs before we see — and feel — that happening. that trickle down to how we feel at home and how much we can spend. it is really hard to predict, isn't it? it is. wholesale energy prices are set to come down this year we hope will have an impact on everything. there will be a lag before we feel that. thank you. nearly half past eight. we are about to have a birthday party. make a cup of tea and joiners. as we literally turn back the clock. —— join us. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning,

i'm assad ahmad. the bbc has discovered bribes and hundreds of duplicate concert tickets may be to blame for the crush that killed two people at the 02 academy brixton last month. a whistle—blower says that some security guards working at the venue were earning up to £1,000 a night in bribes from fans without tickets. ap security, who provide security staff at the venue, declined to comment. brixton academy licence holder academy music group has said it is committed to understanding what happened. and you can hear more on that story — castrophe at the academy — on bbc radio a's file on four programme tonight at 8 o'clock and on the bbc sounds app. the mayor of london has been accused of providing false it will be cold wherever you are. turning very windy, the rest of

from the atalanta, bumping up against high pressure, so it looks like the cold air might stay in place for quite a while across the eastern side of the country even as head into next week, but we will certainly see some changes coming into the north and the west from the end of the week. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... the government has conceded to a backbench rebellion and accepted that managers at online companies should face prison if they fail to protect children from harmful content. a misconduct hearing this morning will formally dismiss david carrick from the metropolitan police after he admitted dozens of sexual offences including rapes. a constitutional row develops between the uk and scottish governments after westminster announces plans to block a scottish bill designed to make
