as you can see, our home is very, very relaxed and informal and we really do think... the feel of the show was rather cosy. even the dress code. jumpers. yes. i am not sure that we said to frank, wear a jumper. i think frankjust decided to put on a jumper. i am sure there was disapproval. oh, i'm sure there was because people have an expectation. you know, this is a news programme, it is the bbc, therefore it will be formal, therefore it will be ties and jackets and all of that and it will be behind a desk. nevertheless, by the end of the show the champagne was... oh, my giddy aunt! ..exploding more than flowing, but today two celebration is recognition of a little landmark. tv mornings were never the same again. david sillito, bbc news. just to tell you that can bruce is

it has been driving further south, allowing the cold arctic air to spill from the north and that is certainly sticking around for the next couple of days. cold northerly winds for the rest of the afternoon bringing more snow to parts of northern and western scotland, parts of northern ireland, wales and north—west england seeing the odd flurry, temperatures only about to five. after a bitterly cold start, still some icy stretches. we have the amber warning in force across parts of highland into grampian, 3pm until midnight is where we will see the heaviest snow, ten to 15 centimetres could be quite disruptive. still wintry flurries for the rest of the uk, northern ireland into wales and south—west england, wales developing through tonight for parts of eastern scotland and north—east england. temperatures down to about “4, not quite as cold as last night but low

enough for icy stretches almost anywhere. a cold start to wednesday, windy conditions developing with wintry flurries and further west rain, sleet and health snow for northern ireland and wales, icy stretches around, sunshine for many, temperatures perhaps up a bit on today, between four and seven, but adding on the wind—chill, especially if you are exposed to the brisk breeze around north sea coasts, feeling closer to freezing all perhaps even subzero. cold weather into thursday and friday, fewer wintry flurries. into the weekend, gradually something milder works from the north—west, the south—east of the uk holds on to colder and drier conditions the longest into next week. that's all from the bbc news at one , so it's goodbye from me , and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

that afternoon. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm, and here's your latest sports news. andy murray said he "left it all out there" after winning a five set match in just under five hours against the 13th seed, matteo berrettini. it was a stunning first round perfromance from the 35—year—old, who held a two set lead before his italian rivalfought back to level at two sets all. murray saved a match point in the deciding set before defeating the 2021 wimbledon runner up in a tiebreak by 10—6. the bbc�*s tennis correspondent russell fuller was watching in melbourne. there's no sign he's playing with a metal hip. he won a final decisive tie—break in some style.

he was lucky as he closed out the match, his final shot hit the net and apologetically bounced over. there was nothing berrettini could do about it, and there was nothing he could do about andy murray, he was putting his best grand slam performance for half a dozen years, and certainly since he had the surgery and the installation of a metal hip. i will be feeling this this evening and tomorrow, but right now, unbelievably happy, very proud of myself. i've put a lot of work into the last few months with my team, who are here. to give me the opportunity to perform in stadiums like this and matches against players like this. joining murray in the next round is british number two dan evans who beat facundo bagnis of argentina over four sets.

this match was suspended at one stage due to high humidity and temperatures of 37 celsius. he'll next face jeremy chardy of france tomorrow. the world number two, ons jabeur, is through to the second round after surving a fight back from her opponent tamara zidansek. jabeur, who is looking to become the first arab woman to win a grand slam title in the open era, took the opening set before the slovenian levelled. jabeur recomposed herself in the decider though, eventually powering through to take it 6—1. after being the runner up at both wimbledon and the us open last year, she is aiming to go one step further and continues that quest against alison riske armitrage or marketa vondrousova in the next round. nine—time champion novak djokovic is currently on court, taking part in the australian open for the first time since 2021, having been deported ahead of last year's event due to his covid—19 vaccination stance. the serbian is taking on roberto carballes baena of spain and is looking comfortable.

he is rustling through the third set, 5—0, uncovering to serve for the match if you can. jurgen klopp says he will not leave anfield until someone tells him to. his comments come amid a difficult season, with their fa cup third round replay at wolves tonight. a late equaliser from wolves at anfield took the tie to a return leg. klopp said their 3—0 defeat at brighton last weekend was the worst of his career, but that he's planning for the future and not thinking about leaving, but doesn't think there is a quick fix to their current struggles. 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". that's the conclusion of a parliamentary report following 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 both clubs and will continue to work with them both. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website.

thank you so much. lovely to have some good news from down under. all the latest sport there, including the latest sport there, including the australian open. other sports are available, but notjust now! . we are keeping an eye on the events in the house of commons, because we are expecting to hear from the first minister of scotland, there is a striking constitutional situation coming up on the laws the scottish parliament wants to pass but westminster doesn't. we are expected to hear the secretary of state for scotland in the next while. it was expected to be happening now, but

things behind because of a number of difficult stories we are dealing with now. it is all delayed, but once we hear, we will be back in the commons to hear more about that. until that gets under way, we will turn our attention to other stories. the metropolitan police has formally dismissed pc david carrick, who pleaded guilty to 49 sexual offences, including dozens of rapes. at a hearing this morning, he was found guilty of gross misconduct. it's been revealed that the met are currently investigating about 1,000 allegations of sexual and domestic abuse involving 800 officers. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly gave us this update on david carrick�*s disciplinary hearing. while you have the criminal process, which as we saw yesterday culminated in david carrick pleading guilty to the remaining charges he was facing, so this means he has now pleaded

guilty to 49 counts, all offences against women including 2a rapes, running in tandem with that you have the met police disciplinary process. carrick was suspended by the met police in october 2021 when he was accused of the first rape of which he is now convicted. he then, the disciplinary process begins and last december he admitted the bulk of the charges against him, the met then serve papers telling him he would face a disciplinary hearing and this is what we have had today. carrick wasn't here, he is in prison where he is awaiting sentence for his crime. he will be sentenced next month. in his absence it is said he hadn't responded at all to the disciplinary process and he has now been dismissed by the force. we have also been hearing from the metropolitan police commissioner today. he has promised to restore trust in the force but, my goodness, he faces an uphill

battle, doesn't he? yes, he certainly does and that need to rebuild trust was reflected at the hearing this morning. it was chaired by one of the met�*s most senior officers and she said these were sickening and horrifying crimes and she also spoke of how they had dented public confidence in the met, particularly amongst women and girls because obviously this key issue of protecting women and girls is so vital to them. what was said also about carrick this morning was that his crimes were described as one of the lawyers here as heinous, targeted, deliberate and also it was said they were catastrophic for their victims and their families. so a reflection of the damage this man has done and the pain he has caused.

the head of the met police, sir mark rowley, has apologised to carrick�*s victims and for the failure of the force. speaking to the bbc earlier today, he said it had �*let london down'. david carrick has been a horrifically abusive individual. what he has done to his victims is truly abhorrent. their courage in coming forward is truly admirable, but we have let london down. and he has been a police officer for 20 years through a combination of weak policies and weak decisions over those 20 years. we missed opportunities when hejoined, and subsequently his behaviour came to the fore that we should have removed him from policing. we are systematically reviewing every member of police staff and police officers who we have any historic flags against for being involved in an incident involving domestic abuse or sexual violence. i am sure some of those will turn out to be nothing of concern,

but many will turn out, sadly, to be of concern. and i have been candid. i have got tens of thousands of fantastic men and women, but i have hundreds who shouldn't be here and i'm going to sort it out. a little earlier, the home secretary was standing in the commons about police conduct in the light of the case of david carrick. she said it was time for the met police to demonstrate they have an effective plan to improve their vetting process. there must be fair and effective arrangements for dealing with those who behave or act in a wholly unacceptable way while serving. baroness casey has recently identified concerns with the misconduct and dismissals process within the metropolitan police. it takes too long, it doesn't command the confidence of police officers, and it is procedurally burdened. bureaucracy and process appear to have prevailed over ethics and common—sense. that is why i have announced

an internal review into police dismissals. the review�*s terms of reference are being published today. mr speaker, this case will rightly throw a spotlight once again on women's safety. no one should suffer abuse or feel frightened or harassed, whether they are at home, out and about our online. out and about or online. here's labour's shadow home secretary yvette cooper with her response. after the murder of sarah everard by a serving officer, labour called for change. after the horrific murders of bibaa henry and nicole smallman, labour called for leadership. after the shameful case of child 0, labour called for reform. after the shocking charing cross station report, labour demanded action. after the stephen port inquiry, labour called for reform. and after the cases right across the country of abuse or of misogyny, labour has demanded change.

conservative ministers promised action would be taken but they have failed to do so. labour will change the law. labour will overhaul the vettings, misconduct and standard system because it is time for change, and we are letting down police officers across the country who do excellent work and who are being let down by these failures in the system, and most of all women are being let down. it is too late for all the warm words in the home secretary's statement. what is she actually going to do to make sure that standards are raised 7 yvette cooper labour. david carrick dismissed from the met office today and we will bring you any more reaction to the story this afternoon.

a double—decker bus has overturned in somerset, many were from the hinkley point c power station. there were no fatalities, but police say there were more than 50 accidents. earlier, my colleague rebecca jones spoke tojosh ward. we were called to be a 39 following a report of a road —related incident involving a double—decker bus and a motorcyclist. we involving a double-decker bus and a motorcyclist-— involving a double-decker bus and a motor clist. ~ ., motorcyclist. we can now confirm the double-decker_ motorcyclist. we can now confirm the double-decker bus _ motorcyclist. we can now confirm the double-decker bus was _ motorcyclist. we can now confirm the double-decker bus was carrying - motorcyclist. we can now confirm the double-decker bus was carrying 70 i double—decker bus was carrying 70 hinkley point c workers, and the bus driver, when it overturned. the incident was initially declared as a major incident due to the number of people involved in the resources required. this has since been stood

down. emergency services have been on the scene since receiving the first 999 call, and we can confirm there have been no fatalities at this time. 5a patients were triage at the scene and it is too soon to confirm if any of these patients have life—threatening injuries, however 26 patients are being treated as walking wounded. a number of those treated at the scene have been taken to musgrove park hospital, bridgwater minor injury unit and southmead hospital. it may take some time to recover the bus and to clear the debris from the road. i would like to take this opportunity to advise the local residents to only travel were absolutely essential due to the icy road conditions caused by the call temperatures overnight and the excess water on the road. if you do need to travel along the a39, please be advised we may be at the scene

from the secretary of state for scotland. ~ ., , , scotland. we will not submit the bill, this government _ scotland. we will not submit the bill, this government believes i scotland. we will not submit the l bill, this government believes the transgender people deserve our respect, support and our understanding. my decision is centred on the legislation's consequences, including equality legislation across scotland, england and wales. the scottish government's bill would introduce a new process for applying the legal gender recognition in scotland. the changes include reducing the age people can apply for it, from 18 to 16, and removing the need for a medical diagnosis and evidence of having lived for two years in the required gender. the bill would amend the gender. the bill would amend the gender reckless and arced, which was across the uk and which received a version from the scottish parliament. the approach taken in the scottish government's recognition reform bill was a

subject of intense debate in the parliament. a number of significant amendments were tabled right up to the end of the bill's passage, and the end of the bill's passage, and the ministerfor women the end of the bill's passage, and the minister for women and equalities commerce with the cabinet secretary discuss the uk's concerns before the bill had richard's final stage. i have not taken this decision lightly. the government has looked closely at the bill and i have considered all implications, together with the minister for women and equalities. it is our assessment the belt would have a serious adverse impact on the operation of the equality arced 2010. those adverse effects include impacts on the operation of single sex clubs, associations and schools and protections such as equal pay. the government shares the concerns of many members of the public regarding

the potential on women and girls. the bill risk creating complications from having two different gender recognition regimes and allowing more fraudulent or bad faith applications. the government is publishing a full statement of reasons, alongside the order, which will set in full the adverse affects the government is concerned about. i would like to address the claims put forward by those who seek to politicise this decision and claim that this is some kind of constitutional outrage. you can hear them, mr speaker. the section 35 was included in the scotland act which established the scottish parliament. this is the first time the power has been used. it is not new in this government has not created it, they have existed as long as devolution. we should be clear, the power was

included by the architect of devolution for a reason, he noted the power stroke and important balance. the section 35 provide a sensible measure to ensure devolved legislation does not have adverse effects, including the equality act 2010. it isn't about preventing scottish government from legislating but ensuring we do not have legal frameworks in one part of the uk which have adverse effects on reserved matters. we should be clear, this is not about the united kingdom government being able to veto the scottish parliament whenever it chooses, as some have implied. it can only be used on specific grounds, and this is the first time it has been used in nearly 25 years, which emphasises it won't be used lightly. in the instance of the gender recognition

reform scotland bill, i have concluded it would have serious adverse effects, and i don't want to be in the situation. the uk government is all it can to respect the legislation. it is open to the scottish government to bring back a bill for reconsideration. to conclude, i have set out to the scottish government that should they choose to do so, i hope we can work together to find a constructive way forward which both respects devolution and the operation of the uk parliament legislation, and i commend this statement to the house. i call the secretary of state. find i i call the secretary of state. and i thank him for _ i call the secretary of state. and i thank him for his _ i call the secretary of state. and i thank him for his statement. - i call the secretary of state. and i thank him for his statement. this| i call the secretary of state. and i i thank him for his statement. this is an important statement, the first time section 35 has been invoked. the father of devolution designed it to protect devolution. it was passed

by all parties and hasn't been objectivity since. it was intended not as a blocking mechanism, but an enabling mechanism so we could pass legislation without changing functions. there was concern at the time by colleagues of the secretary of state that this could be used as a veto. although the uk government is prepared to use these powers if necessary, they are a matter of last resort. the uk government was therefore aim to resolve any difficulties through discussion to avoid any action of the devolved administration of having an impact on non—resolved matters. is this a last resort? has a secular state had extensive discussions with the scottish government before taken this decision —— secretary of state.

it appears to me this has only become a last resort because both governments can't work with each other. the secretary of state says the section 35 is being used in relation to the equality arced. they are land made pieces of labour legislation, establishing devolution. nobody has to question this party's commitment to equality. we passed the initial law, we brought in the disability discolouration arced. clearly, a need for laws passed by holyrood and westminster to interact —— disability discrimination act. part of the reason that after 25 years of devolution section 35 hasn't been exercised is because of the way devolution was set up. governments with their own agendas working together to serve the scottish

people. now scotland is saddled with an administration hell—bent on breaking devolution and london choosing to ignore it. the secretary of state works more on stopping things happen than make them work. in this case, it is the public who are let down. trans people who are suffered discrimination would not see this legislation take place anytime soon, and women's rights group will not see their fears alleviated. i would suggest the snp should think about challenging the laws passed, as is their right. if we are to accept the argument there

has no effect on the equality arced, they should clearly cross out the action. planning ask the secretary of state, the scottish labour got it on the face of the gender recognition bill. will they give the details of where he thinks it is incompatible? he said last night there was a version of this act which the uk government could support, so what does it look like question mark he says there are complications with gender regimes. is he saying the scottish government shouldn't have the confidence? what are not obvious to him and his colleagues it could contravene reserved law customer in the passage of the bill, scottish labour made clear if the bill was to work, clear guidance was needed. the snp said it was for the human rights commission to give guidance. why doesn't he

instruct them to provide that guidance, look at the cross—border issues he mentions and provide recommendations as to the interaction of the equality act. is a secular state saying the ball is only in the scottish government's court and he backed out of the process? we support the principle of updating it, which when the labour government introduced into thousand and four was a world leading but now requires modernisation to humanise -- 2004. requires modernisation to humanise —— 2004. my requires modernisation to humanise —— 200a. my final question is, what will he do to resolve it? to -- 2004. my final question is, what will he do to resolve it?— will he do to resolve it? to answer his question. _ will he do to resolve it? to answer his question. it — will he do to resolve it? to answer his question, it is _ will he do to resolve it? to answer his question, it is not _ will he do to resolve it? to answer his question, it is not a _ will he do to resolve it? to answer his question, it is not a last - his question, it is not a last resort _ his question, it is not a last resort to— his question, it is not a last resort. to understand the scotland act, section— resort. to understand the scotland act, section 33 is where the uk
