6:24 am
ahead of its 80th anniversary, in 2025, the bbc is trying to gather as many first—hand accounts from surviving veterans as possible, to preserve them for future generations. you can e—mail bbc breakfast or get in touch via the bbc news website. it is fascinating. those stories, you want them to survive in perpetuity. absolutely. and as part of the voice of the people who are there. yes, who make this country what it is. when you talk about resilience, right? you talk about determination... there is a link coming care... mike, are you ready? i love thisjob, but i don't know, i don't know if we are allowed, we probably won't, we will have a screen on later, right? this brilliant man will be playing? what i love about him... he went out in the first round to his opponent
6:25 am
today and afterwards he hinted that that could be it. he even played his best moments dave as he left, waving in tears to the crowd. he has a new habit, 35, back to his best! that was one of the most amazing. best match ever! the longest with that for our madden, not much sleep since then. just 36 hours and he is back in court. crosstalk. sorry for interrupting, wasn't he 'ust sorry for interrupting, wasn't he just back— sorry for interrupting, wasn't he just back out on quarter warming up? yes so _ just back out on quarter warming up? yes so it— just back out on quarter warming up? yes so it was— just back out on quarter warming up? yes so it was technically yesterday after he had finished the match. good morning! andy murray is now 40 places below his third round opponent in the world rankings and will be the underdog again this morning, but he seems to thrive on that not fear it, and so we could be set for another rollercoaster ride of raw emotion, as murray tries to reach the fourth round at a grand slam event for the first time in six years. and murray is now the last british player in the men's singles, after dan evans, was knocked out. not even a hint of a dramatic fight back in this one, as evans, the british number two,
6:26 am
was overpowered by the fifth seed to andre rublev, 6—4 6—2 6—3. he was just too good, said evans afterwards, and rublev thanked evans for giving him a banana during a break in the match. the brit had a spare one, and the russian rublev said it gave him extra energy. really is best for an immediate return to the premier league thanks to a come back when michael gibbons was from. they sealed the turnaround with just three minutes was from. they sealed the turnaround withjust three minutes remaining withjust three minutes remaining with this gig. they kept on the pressure where they won over hull city themselves. harlequin is hosting the sharks of south africa today, the standard match today for many. this comes after 0spreys inflicted the first defeat in the competition against the tigers. an andre, and a conversion sealed there in may. in the european challenge cup, sebastian scored the third try

for glasgow warriors as they drew with barb, and the warriors secured a home tie. era because was willing to recognise athletes who dominate the sport but don't always get wider recognition and that is certainly the case for emma bristow, the eighth time motorsport world champion in a motorcycle trials, so hold onto your or maybe not in the sport, but things you never thought you would have seen on a motorbike as they take you to northern spain where emma has been training this week for the new season. defying gravity wherever she goes, stuck between a rock and a hard place in an uphill battle, but that is never a barrierfor emma bristow who is redefining what is possible on a motorbike. these other skills that have made her a global superstar in a sport of motorcycle trials, already an eight world
6:28 am
champion. yeah, pretty incredible, the first one was probably the hardest but thenit one was probably the hardest but then it is carrying on every year because you are never satisfied — i was always one, oh, let's go for another one. it is unlike any other motorsport ad it is not about speed, instead it is the skill, balance and technique to overcome any obstacle thrown at you across the most hostile terrain, putting your feet down the hall crashing will cost you penalty points. the winner is the rider who can hold their nerve and complete multiple laps of a course with the least amount of points. there have been times where i have been scared madgen, lo, jumping up the cliff face and i don't want to look like because there is a really big drop but that is all of the buzz of the competition and just feeling at one with the bike, really. i do put the hard work in. there is a lot of training. dark nights in the
6:29 am
garage that people don't see, you have to put the hours and, the sacrifices. emma started out riding on the family farm in lincolnshire when she was little. rather different, the flat landscape dad to the mountains, rocky terrain in the hills near barcelona, going up rock races that many climbers would be worried about, let alone doing it on a 300 cc motorbike, with all of that power in your hands. as soon as i could walk i was on a bike. just family, really, always enjoyed riding with the family on the farm and just took it a bit further than everyone else. 0nly it a bit further than everyone else. only on the balcony really appreciate the skill in controlling such power at your fingertips with such power at your fingertips with such precision. softer tyres help give you extra bounce but at first it is just about keeping your balance while standing up because you may have noticed that something is missing. there no seed, you don't sit down

6:34 am
the impact it's had on my life - from a child to an adult made me be more aware of other people, - what other people are going through. it's definitely moulded me and made me who i am. i my dad and the club go together. they are one thing really. if my dad's not at home or he's not at the club, we panic. right, is everyone ready to go? if the club was to close, _ i think i'd be dead in about a year. i know a lot of people feel that when they walk through the doors, this club is where they belong. i am responsible for the club financially. the buck stops with me. do you want me to do it all green orjust half? no. — just leave it. i think it looks like shrek. we don't know what's around the corner.
6:35 am
we've currently not got a signed lease, so our landlords could serve a six—month notice and that's it. we'll be gone. has the club been busier? it has. but i will admit we are very, very down today. very down. i know by the money! i have a real moral responsibility to ensure that the club continues for as long as it possibly can. welcome to clacton railway social club. this through here is our office. this is where all the magic happens and where me and alan spend most of our time. i apologise now for the filing system, but this is, this is alan's filing system, not mine. it's my idea of hell. so i try not to be in here too much!
6:36 am
how would i describe the club? it's unique. i've always referred to it very similar to peter kay's phoenix nights. just let me get this straight again. two lads walk in off the street and take the television and you did nothing. we thought you'd arranged it. arranged what? they were wearing overalls. none of our committee get paid whatsoever. it is all voluntary. not bingo, no. i think it's a boring game. i started four years ago to help them out. i'm still doing it. alan. he is the key person in the club, i would say, next to my dad. his properjob is a driver, a taxi driver, but to me he's taxi alan. most of them come up with £20 notes to buy £1.50 books and it's annoying! we have pam pink, who is a trustee of the club. she's in charge of the bingo and the raffle, and no—one gets through that door without being sold a raffle ticket.
6:37 am
any more raffle tickets? going once, going twice... i'm gone. my dad, he's a character. after 25 years, i am the boss. he can be quite volatile but that's because he cares and he's passionate. kelly is very abrasive. # i want to break free!# my career and life was very, very different before. i went into banking at 18. every possible way you can imagine, it's different to the corporate world. alan? there's no real set targets. alan... there's no real structure to any day. what's he done with that?
6:38 am
alan? it's a profit and loss statement and my agenda for tonight. leave me in peace forfive minutes. right, this stuff's got to be here... we haven't thrown it away, have we? i don't think so. i don't know. what...what�*s that in your little blue pile there? that is bits. 0h, what's that? no, that's a bank statement. alan's safe place. it's always in a safe place. you will eventually find it, it's just the process of finding it. tonight is the committee meeting. can they be a bit challenging? yes, extremely.
6:39 am
depending on what is being discussed. at the moment, purchasing all the fruit for the bar is kind of falling on alan's shoulders or nicky... and me. and pam, and pam is getting the fruit. ifind it, yeah, a little bit tiring at times, but it's a different, it's a different world. i have some ideas, but i do get carried away. we never knew that! but i think it would be nice to maybe have, maybe have a face painter for the children, maybe a candyfloss machine, ice lollies. i don't know what people's thoughts are on it. just hold it down by the pier and leave the rest of us alone to have a quiet drink! all laugh no, because we need to be attracting... come the middle of september... they ain't going to be drinking at six or seven years old, are they? i tend to come in and put my
6:40 am
business head on and that can cause a few issues at times. for us, the next couple of months and the events that we're putting on, are really going to determine for us the future of the club. we have to modernise the way that we work and the way the club operates to ensure that we stay open. me and my sister, we worry tremendously that if the club was to close, where our dad would go, what would be his life? i'll get really upset if we talk about my dad. yeah, i really love my dad. my dad means everything to me.
6:41 am
and because the club means everything to him, that's why we do everything that we do. the club is my life and the people in here is my life. they're all my friends. so i'm here representing all of them. if the club was to close, i think i'd be dead in about a year because i'd die of boredom. it's notjust my side of it. it's lots of other people that come in here wouldn't be alive either. getting through the summer, summer season, summer period is a huge hurdle. it's always a worry financially for us. i've always lived in clacton. my family are from clacton. so, yeah, i couldn't imagine living anywhere else really. like, my dad could never venture out of clacton
6:42 am
6:43 am
everything has been sold off around us. so it's really key that we get a new tenancy agreement signed because at the moment we don't have one. they could actually give us six months' notice and ask us to leave the building. so we are hanging on by a thread at the moment. today is a really big day for us because we are getting back a lot of our older members that haven't been in for absolutely ages. and there are some huge characters in here. you've got bill, you've got linda, you've got knocker, you've got pat. have you seen emmerdale lately?
6:44 am
yes, i love it. oh, that girl, ain't she terrible? but she did... she's a cow! hello, jeff. nice to see you. yeah, thank you. there you go, jeff. jeff is very much part of the club. jeff's best bits! a really dry sense of humour. 0nly bits, yeah! hello, george. are you all right? all right? yeah, are you? yeah, it's the others! i know! it always is, isn't it? it always is! you 0k? yes, thank you. lovely to see ya. for them, this is a lifestyle. so for them to be able to come up at the bar and have a laugh and a giggle. they'll take the mick out of alan as he's calling the bingo. and if he messes up, you'll hear them all screaming and shouting. and then for us, it's about our members feeling that the club is back. gorgeous george, they call me. why do they call - you gorgeous george? cos i'm gorgeous. i'm attractive to women. he'll tell ya! we look after you, george, don't we? that's right. fingers crossed today. fingers crossed. i keep looking at the door and keep
6:45 am
looking at the time, to see how many people are in and you know, where they're sitting in their usual seats. who's missing? jill, do you want a chair? no, thank you. we just like this table, you know what i mean? mates sit behind us and we have a laugh. you know what i mean? my dad genuinely cares. he comes across as being a really hard person and he's got this real hard exterior, but he is probably the most caring person i know. he would never, ever admit that, but he is. what's your nickname here? mo. 0r mouthy! why mouthy? cos i talk loud and i laugh loud. and i'm cheeky. yes. i'm cheeky but i'm never rude. i've got broad shoulders. i take lots of abuse and i don't care. some chairmans don't even come out and see their club. butjohn's always here. he's here every single day. he makes people welcome. it is a monumental day for the club.
6:46 am
and it's nice to see so many people in here because we know they're coming back. bringsjoy to me, yeah. people do belong here in the club. yes, they do. and that's what we thrive on — friendship. right, is everybody ready to go? the first number out is eight and six, 86. 86. two and seven, 27. yay! blimey, that's normal for her! thank you. thank you, darling. yeah, 30 quid. that'll pay for my bingo for the next couple of weeks. i believe in the club and i see the impact the club has on so many people's lives. god bless you, kelly. we are their family and friends. god bless you all.
6:47 am
bye, girl. take care. bye— bye. bye. bye, everybody. bye, george. bye. bye, darling. # goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!# alan, stagger them. one, two, three. when we have our '90s nights or anything nights, that's where kelly's in her element. right, we need to get those runners on the table. so this is how i'd like the tables to look. she'll have me and alan like her little minions. we'll come in, she'll tell us where we need to be, what we need to do. and then the third one... me and kelly make a good team, probably because she likes to be really bossy. are you using them weights, then? yes. can you not use the orange ones? well, i can. well, i've tied them on now. right.
6:48 am
and i'm quite happy to be bossed around really. what are you using them for, then? i'm putting them underneath there as weights. 0h, 0k. we always want to try and show my dad that these we were together since we were 20, she always like to cuddles before sleep. we always call him gorgeous george. people will always still come in and say, are you all right, gorgeous george? here we go. high, georgie, you're

7:02 am
to sack nadhim zahawi as conservative party chair, after reports he paid a penalty to hmrc as part of a multimillion— pound tax settlement. the ex—chancellor has been under pressure over claims he tried to avoid paying tax and has now had to pay it back. the bbc has approached mr zahawi for comment on the allegation and is yet to receive a response. he has previously said that his taxes are properly declared, and paid in the uk. david wallace—lockha rt reports. nadhim zahawi is the chairman of the conservative party and sits around the cabinet table. he was the chancellor for a few months in the final days of borisjohnson�*s government — he's now facing questions about his tax affairs. before politics he co—founded the polling company yougov. questions have been asked about whether he tried to avoid paying tax by using a offshore company to hold shares in the firm. but the conservative party chairman has denied benefiting from or having any involvement with the offshore company. it has previously been reported that he agreed to make a payment to the taxman to settle a dispute.
7:03 am
yesterday the guardian reported this included a 30% penalty as part of a bill thought to amount to around £5 million. the bbc has not been able to verify these claims — a spokesman has previously said mr zahawi's taxes are properly declared and paid in the uk. labour say he has to step down from government. the former chancellor of the exchequer has been fined a massive fine for not paying his taxes properly. rishi sunak promised a government of integrity and professionalism, thatjust isn't what we have got. but one tax expert told newsnight a 30% penalty is at the lower end of the scale. the first level of penalty is for carelessness, so there is no penalty if you make a genuine mistake and took reasonable care over your tax affairs, no penalty. if you were careless, then the first level penalty applies. in the uk, for uk tax, that is 30%. a spokesman for nadhim zahawi previously told the bbc he has never
7:04 am
had to instruct lawyers to deal with hmrc on his behalf, but questions are likely to persist over the coming days. david wallace—lockhart, bbc news. let's speak now to our political correspondent jonathan blake. so investigations have been done by the guardian newspaper into — and it is largely speculation because there is largely speculation because there is nothing firm that has come out from nadhim zahawi in terms of what he has paid, if he has paid, but there has not been a denial either. no, nadhim zahawi has not mentored publicly himself at all and any of these questions, and ever since that report emerged in the son last sunday and another story in the guardian yesterday, as speculation continues to swell and scrutiny continues to swell and scrutiny continues to swell and scrutiny continues to mount on the conservative party chairman's tax affairs. we have heard from a spokesperson for mr zahawi concerning the first report claimed
7:05 am
he had made a payment of several million in unpaid tax to hmrc, saying his taxes are properly declared and paid in the uk, adding he had never instructed lawyers to act on his behalf. in relation to hmrc. and then subsequently the guardian story yesterday reported that he paid a penalty on top of that, so a total amount of £4.8 million. the bbc has not had a response from mr zahawi's team in relation to that, but a spokesperson did tell the guardian that he doesn't recognise the figures that were quoted, and again, but his taxes are properly declared and paid in the uk. the strategy so far it seemed as far as nadhim zahawi is concerned is to attempt to ride this out, and for those statements to suffice. in terms of his response. clearly there is no rush from rishi sunak to do anything other than keep

ukraine says it will keep pushing to be supplied with modern tanks, after a meeting of allied nations in germany ended without an agreement to provide them. protests have taken place in berlin to demand the approval of german—made tanks to be sent to kyiv. aruna iyengar has this report. this is what kyiv wants but can't yet have. german made leopard 2 tanks as part of hope for hundreds of western battle tanks to help defend their country and take back their land. britain has pledged 15 challenger tanks — ukraine says modern tanks are key to holding back russia's expansion plans. translation: the partners are firm in their attitude. i they will support ukraine as much as necessary for our victory. yes, we will still have to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but every day we make it more obvious there is no alternative to making the decision on tanks. president zelensky has made his appeal to this meeting of defence chiefs
7:08 am
at ramstein airbase. poland has agreed to train ukrainian soldiers in using the leopard 2s, but berlin gets to decide where the leopard tanks are deployed. the us is also under pressure to make its abrams tanks available to ukrainian forces. it has not said yes yet, but is offering other support. until putin ends this war, his war of choice, the nations of this contact group will continue to support the defence of ukraine in order to uphold the rules—based international order. domestic politics, its past, and a fear of escalating the conflict all play into germany's caution. but this meeting was about more thanjust tanks, with much wider pledges of military aid and an air of urgency. frontline ukrainian units are using soviet—era tanks — they need modern equipment. they expect a spring offensive from russia and further battles to come. aruna iyengar, bbc news.
7:09 am
meanwhile the united states is designating the wagner mercenary group, which is fighting alongside russian forces in ukraine, as an international criminal organisation. it accuses the group of committing atrocities in ukraine, and says the majority of wagner troops deployed there were drawn from prisons. extra sanctions will be imposed on it next week. the co—founder of the bus and coach group stagecoach has been charged with human trafficking offences. dame ann gloag, her husband david mccleary and two other members of their family have also been charged. all four strongly deny the charges. a bbc investigation has found that hundreds of thousands of calls made to nhs mental health helplines in england are going unanswered. the phone lines — which are supposed to be available 2a hours a day — are designed to provide support for those who are suicidal, or in emotional distress. our reporter adam eley spoke to hannah, who says it took her two days to get through.
7:10 am
for me to call, it is because i am at my absolute lowest and i am about to do something. for years hannah has struggled with her mental health, at times wanting to take her own life. in these moments she called her nhs trust's 24—hour helpline for urgent mental health support. but too often, she says, no—one picked up. i have literally been crying my eyes out and left a message on the answerphone and no—one has ever got back to me. it makes it ten times worse, i know for me, i start to spiral. when she has been able to get through, hannah says support can be limited. on one occasion she told a staff member she no longer wanted to live. she actually said to me, "think happy thoughts and read a book." when i said that is not going to help, that is when she hung up and said "you don't want to help yourself." i ended up going to a&e. south london and maudsley nhs trust has since apologised, adding that improvements has been made.
7:11 am
nhs crisis lines in england receive more than 200,000 calls a month, aiming to signpost people to services and provide urgent phone support. but figures obtained by the bbc show at least a18,000 calls went unanswered in 2021—22. two recent coroner's reports have highlighted issues with crisis lines that preceded deaths, noting the demands on staff. it was a very exhausting job emotionally, it was impossible to answer all the calls. one former staff member says she felt overwhelmed and was not properly trained. i didn't feel prepared. you are expected to learn on the job, which is disappointing when the risk is so high and you are dealing with people's lives. experts say crisis lines can play a vital role, if they are able to meet demand. the point of them is to make the system really accessible, to make it easy not to go to a&e. and if that's not what is happening, then that's obviously a major problem.
7:12 am
nhs england said it had made £7 million available to local areas to improve their crisis lines. for hannah, if crisis lines are to improve, staff must have the time to speak to patients with compassion. you shouldn't have to be at absolute rock bottom to get decent care and to be spoken to like an actual human being. adam eley, bbc news. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline. seven point 12am is the time. —— 7:12am. the red squirrel population in scotland appears to be making a comeback. a survey by volunteers has found that efforts to increase the species in the north—east of the country have been successful, with the animal returning to the aberdeen area. ina in a reversal of fortunes, the number of its grey squirrel rival has decreased. matt was telling us an hour ago...

7:14 am
temperature contrasts this morning, plus six or seven in scotland and northern ireland, —6, —7 in somerset and the cotswolds, it wales, to parts of not —— north yorkshire as well. where you have a course whether you have the sunshine, one or two mr and fog patches, that could take a while to clear from some river valleys, but we have some snow over the hills, the rain turns lighter and pangaea, apache and northern ireland, hazy sunshine to the east of scotland and sunshine in northern and western parts of england and wales will turn hazy later on as the cloud trust has been its way in. for much of england and wales a sunny afternoon, one or two degrees where the fog lingers, but a cold day again for many. temperatures actually climb a bit through tonight, further cloud, outbreaks of rain and the cloud increases to parts of northern england, wales and the south—west, so not as cold, but through the midlands, east anglia, the
7:15 am
south—east, widespread fast and patchy frog —— patchy fog and temperatures lower again. that is due to the area of high pressure which extends all the way out into the atlantic from russia. north of it, we have atlantic air trying to push its way in, and with it more cloud, another cloudy day for scotland and northern ireland, some brightness on the north but rain at times and that have edge into coastal coastal part of western england and wales through the day, a lot of cloud here but midlands, east anglia, south—east, and a bright and sunny day, fog patches lingering, whereas you can see 2—3 compared to 10 celsius in and belfast. that remains into monday as well, have you ran through the night and into monday across the northern half of scotland where it will stay breezy over the next few days. patchy light rain and drizzle towards some irish seacoast, and began some lingering fog patches in the south—east. some sunny spells to come, but another chilly day. across parts of scotland it actually warms up even more as we
7:16 am
go into tuesday, as we see an area of low pressure start to dominate, but it will take a while for any other ad towards us. it willjust lift tempted back to where it should be for this stage injanuary. our thank you, talk to you later. let's return to our main story now — labour is calling for rishi sunak to sack nadhim zahawi as conservative party chairman, after reports he paid a penalty to hmrc as part of a multimillion—pound tax settlement. the ex—chancellor has previously said that his taxes are properly declared, and paid in the uk. we're joined now by the labour's deputy leader, angela rayner. shejoins us this morning. good morning and thank you for talking to us, why do you think this is a sacking matter? last summer when nadeem was a translator land is still no cabinet minister, he made it clear that when
7:17 am
these stories emerge that they were smears, he even sent legal letters to people who questioned the tax affairs and potential investigations by hmrc and now we find that not only has he had to pay millions of pounds back in tax but there has been a penalty delivered to him as well so these are very serious allegations and it is untenable for him to continue in hisjob if he has misled the public on tax which is important money that goes into our public services. hmrc, these penalties, if he pays a penalty of 30% that would potentially fall into the lack of reasonable care and, so this could just be a mistake, could it? the fact that nadhim hasn't been out on the airways explaining himself to me adds insult to injury, especially given that he called them smears at the time and sent legal letters to
7:18 am
those who act questions, legitimately, about it, and when you are the chancellor in charge of the tax affairs in the uk and you have a wealth of that nature you would be expected to know about your tax affairs or to seek advice at the time as opposed to not paying those taxes and having to pay a penalty notice. he made it clear that time he paid all his taxes and he doesn't have this offshore arrangement, whereas now we are seeing details emerging that that isn't entirely true, and therefore i believe his position is untenable if he has lied and misled the public, and hmrc with regard to his tax affairs, then i think his position is untenable. given he is reportedly worth £100 million, are you not surprised that he wouldn't be willing to just pay £3 million? it is only a small amount, it would perhaps suggest that it was an innocent mistake? well, i don't accept that and anyone
7:19 am
who has personal wealth up that nature know full well that when filing their tax returns they have to be very diligent about that, which is why those penalties exist to ensure that taxpayers in our country and public services are run efficiently. every pound of tax that is delivered to the chancellor and the exchequer damages our public services and we know the state they are inside the former chancellor, when he was chancellor last summer, made it clear at the time when he was questioned that he pays all his taxes and he has done everything appropriately, and was threatening legal letters to anyone who questioned him but now it is emerge as it wasn't true and there was a hmrc investigation and he has had to pay penalties for that. i think this makes his position untenable, not least because he has been reflected in the way he has done as tax returns but he has also tried to avoid public scrutiny on making sure, as the chancellor, he paces taxes appropriately. he is notjust
7:20 am
a member of the public. this is someone who runs our tax offices. you mention the fact he hasn't been on the airways, because he would be welcome to come in the programme to talk about at any time. you talk about you being smeared when he was running to be leader of the conservative party, back in the summer, he said he would answer any hmrc questions but he also said, "ever become prime minister the right thing to do would be to publish my annually." do you think, given the trust in the politics is at a low ab, it would be a good idea for all mp5 to publish their accounts every year so everything is transparent? i have been calling for greater transparency in public office, especially we have seen the ppp contracts, and the bip lane where these dodgy contracts were awarded to people who knew ministers. it is incredibly important, especially if you are a minister and cabinet member that you have the public
7:21 am
finances, that you are as transparent as possible. that is what they expect. we shouldn't be hiding that. if nadhim wants to be transparent he can explain himself and he can publish those reports as to why now, after saying there was noissue, to why now, after saying there was no issue, that this is clearly emerging that millions of pounds as had to be paid back as well as a fixed penalty. this is, you know, not an insignificant amount of money. this is an somebody who is self—employed on a small amount of wealth, this is somebody who has huge whelp who would have been known to have government tax advice on things like theirs, and it seems that, you know, i has called everyone, saying they were smearing him at the time when actually he has been found to have paid this penalty and has avoided — or hasn't paid taxes appropriately, millions of pounds, and therefore he has to answer to that, and i think because of that nondisclosure, when there are clearly questions asked by banks
7:22 am
is position untenable. i admit to medically on the issue of all mp5 willing to do it, you would be willing to do it, you would be willing and you think it is a good idea for mp5 to do this in the interest of transparency? you can see from interest where they may get income from but we don't know how they deal with that income when it comes in. isaid i said that labour would propose an integrity and ethics commission which looks at how we can be as transparent as possible including if we need to publish our tax returns. i would have no problem publishing mind. i think we expect accountability in members of parliament but particularly if you are the chancellor of the exchequer they expect you to know how to deal with your tax and if you don't to get professional advice if you have that went well. and rishi sunak seen not wearing a seatbelt on the geisha, there is a
7:23 am
video online of keir starmer doing exactly the same thing, admittedly from many years ago. have you ever jumped on the back of a cab, engagement from engagement and not put on your seatbelt? well, i can't say categorically i haven't but let me be positive about this and then serious. positively there shines a light on why those seatbelts are necessary and the safety of people in the back of taxis, in the back of cars and the importance of that so i think rishi sunak, the fact that he has had two fixed penalty notices in the past nine months shows a lack of judgement on his half as chancellor and then as prime minister, and i think you should use this opportunity highlight that safety does matter in vehicles, and, you know, the public are arguably more aware of that now so i think it is important we stressed to people that seatbelts are all serious reasons and they can save your life. and

four years after the death of her daughter, she is training for an extraordinary challenge, to climb kilimanjaro, the highest peak in africa. you can go in that big, dark hole, and believe me, i have been there. it is not a nice place, it is not a good place to be, so to have the training for kili, to have a purpose to get up and do things is immense. it is positive. i am trying to make a positive out over negative. i walk mountains every day of my life, you know, even getting out of bed as a chore, so i thought why not claim a real one? it has been the hardest four years for gill, she was mourning the death of her daughter she lost her husband, david, to

extraordinary achievement, from a family determined to turn a tragedy into a force for good. graham satchell, bbc news. it is just it isjust coming up it is just coming up to 7:30 it isjust coming up to 7:30 am. thank you to the family by giving us access to those wonderful pictures and their progress in dealing with their grief. time for the sports news. we're talking about tennis. andy murray in court and about half—an—hour? is that about right? half-an-hour? isthat about riht? , . is that about right? d'uan caught in the first of the h is that about right? djuan caught in the first of the evening _ is that about right? djuan caught in the first of the evening session. - the first of the evening session. it is a significant moment in his career. fouryears it is a significant moment in his career. four years magasin same opponent in the first round, he went out imaginable it works if you start showing your best bets, the highlights. you show the realfrom your time there it is time to go! i think many people thought it was maybe the last time he would be playing in melbourne and here we are four years later, he has this new metal head which has served him well with the ten hours on court in melbourne and now he has the chance
7:31 am
to reach the fourth round for the first time at grand slam in six years, the way he has been fighting back, you can't rule him out! you can't help but go for him. under the age of 35. so we want to get into his mind, what makes a tough? good morning! just a day after, he went to bed after his longest ever night, andy murray is back in action at the australian open this morning, as he takes on roberto bautista agut for a place in the fourth round. it is a quick turnaround for the 35—year—old after he was involved in that epic five set victory, over home favourite thanasi kokkinakis, which took 5 hours 45 minutes and did not finish until 4am melbourne time, yesterday morning. so how does he prepare for such a big game with so little rest? well i am joined now by performance psychologist roberto forzoni, who has previously worked with murray. morning roberto — what is the secret to murray, with his metal hip at 35, being able to summon the mental strength
7:32 am
to never say die? i don't think there is any secret, he has worked a lot on his psychological strength and his physical ability as well to get around that court. both of those combined give him a good mental resilience, along with his maturity as well. ~ ., resilience, along with his maturity as well. ~ . , ., resilience, along with his maturity as well. ~ ., , ., ., ~' resilience, along with his maturity as well. ~ . ., ~ ., as well. what did you work on with him specifically — as well. what did you work on with him specifically when _ as well. what did you work on with him specifically when you - as well. what did you work on with him specifically when you are - him specifically when you are spending time with him? he had roblems spending time with him? he had problems dealing _ spending time with him? he had problems dealing with _ spending time with him? he had problems dealing with his - spending time with him? he had - problems dealing with his emotional temperature, he would get angry, very emotional on court and if you get emotional, that is a self—imposed pressure that is the biggest catalyst to paralysed, maximising your talent. so unless you can control those emotions you won't be able to maximise your talent on the court. and your biggest opponent is probably not across the net, but in your head. that's interesting, so what has changed with murray? there is no expectation, no pressure, he is 35, he has become a dad which some people say helps, without the
7:33 am
pressure on himself is he more fearless? ~ , , , ., fearless? absolutely, because he no loner fearless? absolutely, because he no longer fears — fearless? absolutely, because he no longer fears failure. _ fearless? absolutely, because he no longer fears failure. as _ fearless? absolutely, because he no longer fears failure. as you - fearless? absolutely, because he no longer fears failure. as you said - fearless? absolutely, because he no longer fears failure. as you said in i longer fears failure. as you said in the introduction, he has not succeeded in the last four or five years and any grand slam, there is no expectation there, and andy was my priorities in life have changed a bit, he loves tennis, that is why he goes out there and has at heart and fight and desire to do well, but he doesn't fearfailure and fight and desire to do well, but he doesn't fear failure and that is a dangerous opponent to be against. yeah, it is such a unique sport as well, you are out there for so long, what is it, five hours and 45 minutes, on your own, with such fine margins on each point. no wonder it is this sport in which you do feel this intense pressure. absolutely, ou are this intense pressure. absolutely, you are on — this intense pressure. absolutely, you are on your— this intense pressure. absolutely, you are on your own _ this intense pressure. absolutely, you are on your own and - this intense pressure. absolutely, you are on your own and a - this intense pressure. absolutely, you are on your own and a lot - you are on your own and a lot of players cannot cope with that. when the pressure really gets on in that volatile atmosphere, you are on your own, those demons come into your mind. you start thinking you are going to lose, you are not as good as you thought you were. so all these things come into your mind that they play about, while you have

"he was just too good," said evans afterwards — rublev thanked evans for giving him a banana during a break in the match, the brit had a a spare one and the russian rublev said it gave him extra energy. i wonder if he is regretting that. it is a nice moment, sportsmanship. apparently rublev asked one of the ball kids to get him a banana, they couldn't, but dan evans said he had a spare. two struggling premier league

with a spring in their step after a late victory over west brom. after being behind for much of the game, scott twine's free kick with just three minutes remaining gave them a 2—1win. they stay five points clear of second—placed sheffield united, who kept up the pressure with a 1—0 win over hull city. and finally, retired american skier lindsey vonn has completed one of the most daring accomplishments in her glittering career. just take a look at this. the streif is regarded as one of the toughest courses in the world, and only men's downhill races are held there. but vonn has become the first woman to conquer the mountain, and the first to do so under the cover of darkness. 0h oh my goodness! at times she hit speeds of more than 100km/h — and that's after suffering severe knee injuries throughout her career. again, talk of mental strength, that's got to be at play here, more so than the physical demands. because there is some light on the course, but you are relying on instinct with just your natural, feeling the course, feeling the hard

7:39 am
local sport schemes. as justice minister, why are you involved in this? sport is very dear to my heart, it was very beneficial to me as a young age when my father died, it can have age when my father died, it can have a very positive impact on young people. but there is also a pragmatic reason for doing this, by investing in sport, particularly in hard up areas, deprived communities, young people that could otherwise get drawn into antisocial behaviour, even gangs and violence and drugs and things like that, we know sport is a great game changer for people's vibes. and so i was down in haringey with some of the projects, boxing, football, and not only did it give young people a positive outlook where they may not have otherwise had it, we know it is actually very powerful in deterring or preventing crime and people being sucked into a life of crime. and i think it is part of our broader law enforcement strategy, policing as well as sentencing, to keep our community safer. ~ .,

what did viewers think of this old style analogue way of telling the time? in 2015, three schoolgirls from east london left their families for syria tojoin the islamic state group. what happened over the next few years to one of them, shamima begum, has often featured on news bulletins, including the twists and turns of the removal of her british citizenship. now, a ten—part series has started on radio four and as a podcast in which investigative journalist josh baker traces shamima begum's journey and talks to her in a series of interviews. do you understand why society has so much anger towards you? yes, i do understand, but i don't think it's actually towards me. i think it's towards isis. but when they think of isis, they think of me because i've been put on the media so much, you know? but they only did that because you chose
7:49 am
to go to isis. but what was there to obsess over? we went to isis, that was it, it was over. theyjust wanted to continue the story— because it was a story. it was the big story. but you do accept that you did join a terrorist group? yes. i did. an accompanying television documentary will be shown on bbc two next month. but the podcast series, which started last week, has already caused something of a storm. several national newspapers objected to the bbc giving the oxygen of publicity to a member of a terror group, as they saw it. and neil seagrave emailed newswatch to ask... and sharon doherty also got in touch with us to say...
7:50 am
well, the series editor of the shamima begum story isjonathan aspinwall, and we can talk to him now. thank you for coming on newswatch, jonathan. why did you think this was a podcast series worth making? i think this is an important podcast because of the forensic journalism around this particular story that we have done here at the bbc. it's a really important investigation into what shamima begum did and what she didn't do when she reached the islamic state territory. but it's also a retracing of herjourney from east london to turkey and then into syria and what exactly happened on that journey. it's important to stress that this is a story which is notjust told through challenging interviews with shamima begum. we then go and test what shamima begum has said with other eyewitnesses, with experts, and also with some of the victims of the islamic state.
7:51 am
you see, people are saying, all very well, but is it ethical to interview someone whojoined a terror group to tell her story, when we know at the same time she's trying to win sympathy for her ongoing court case? i think the key things here are there is a lot of noise and some confusion over what exactly happened on that particularjourney from east london to syria, and we absolutely explore that. we never take her account as necessarily the truth. 0urjob is to unpick, ourjob is to test. 0urjob is to find out exactly what happened. and then there are key issues around radicalisation, and we know that radicalisation amongst young people is an issue. and shamima begum's experience tells us about radicalisation, and you'll hear in this ten—part podcast series about the radicalisation process in terms of propaganda, in terms of social media, there are important public interest editorial justifications. those are all legitimate questions potentially, and it's all about the framing. but the title of this podcast
7:52 am
series is i'm not a monster: series 2, the shamima begum story. sounds like it's her story. it's not her story. it is... why do you call it that? the shamima begum story, is a piece ofjournalism. it's forensicjournalism in which we test what's happened. and the i'm not a monster, its series two of that particular strand, and it fits in that particular feed. but the shamima begum story is about proper bbc news investigations, proper journalism by a very experienced team of specialist investigative journalists. josh baker, who is the journalist behind this series, has been investigating this for years and years and years, and is extremely experienced in terms of reporting on what happens in syria, on what happens, the consequences of the islamic group's actions and also radicalisation. these are his areas of expertise. so this is a very professional team — and it's good to see the likes of the daily telegraph in their reviews of this podcast acknowledging
7:53 am
that this is journalism, that this is very forensic, that it's not giving shamima begum an unchallenged platform. that's really important to us. what about time? the shamima begum story gets ten episodes. people are very uncomfortable at the amount of attention you're giving her. it's a very complex story. well, you'll know how divisive it is. you'll know the very strong emotions, the very strong feelings about this particular story. and from perspective that some people feel she is a monster, that she should never be allowed back into this country. and they talk about how shejoined the is group, a terror group, and how she went into syria, into islamic state group territory. i would also say there's other perspectives where people say that she was groomed, that she was exploited, that she was trafficked, and that she that she is a victim in this. and ourjob is basically to try and unpick her story and work out what is true
7:54 am
and what's not true. so what are the facts and what's fiction? and that's been the basis of this journalism. and i'm really proud of the journalism that we've done. it's very thorough. it tests what she's saying, and we never take what she says on face value. we really interrogate what she said, and i think that's really important. did the bbc pay her? it's really clear to say that the bbc did not pay her and that would be an absolute red line and that would break our editorial guidelines. not in kind... we did not pay. not in cash? no, we did not pay her, no. jonathan aspinwall, thank you so much for coming on. newswatch. thank you. jacinda ardern became the youngest female head of government in the world in 2017 when she was elected prime minister of new zealand at the age of 37. on thursday, she announced she was stepping down after what she described as six
7:55 am
challenging years in the job. online and on social media, bbc world news headlined their story on this with the words, "can women really have it all?" and that met with a scathing response from the likes of cat... robert rutledge agreed... and here's catherine o'brien... we put those points to bbc news and they told us...
7:56 am
last friday, the cardiologist, dr asima malhotra, was invited onto the bbc news channel to discuss the use of statins for patients at risk of heart disease. he is, though, also well known for holding controversial views about some covid vaccines. and halfway through the interview, he switched tack, claiming that covid mrna vaccines had a cardiovascular risk. that comment, which was shared widely online, contradicted the overwhelming scientific consensus that mrna vaccines are safe, and the interview alarmed viewers such as thomas lubbock, who wrote... well, following complaints like that, six days later, bbc news issued this statement...
7:57 am
finally, as discussed on last week's programme, bbc breakfast celebrated its 40th anniversary on tuesday. a special programme featured a selection of bloopers from years past, a host of former contributors and another return from yesteryear. have you noticed anything different about us? perhaps? look closely. it's not my knees. it's a new clock! but it's an old clock. that is the clock that was put on the screen at exactly this time, well, nearly this time, 50 minutes... the original, still the best clock. are we not saying that? it looks kind of old fashioned,
7:58 am
but it also looks kind of cool, that sort of eighties retro thing. don't panic, everybody. it's only for one day. it's only for today. not everyone was up early enough to see that explanation, though, and some of those who tuned in later were confused, like paul deakin... but louisa graham begged... another fan was david spencer... on breakfast television, it was nice to see a proper clock, because this is the face that you see on the mantelpiece, on your wall, on all the buildings like big ben. this type of clock really does help children to learn to tell the time with a proper watch.
7:59 am
so i hope the bbc will keep it on. and thank you, bbc, for the breakfast television, which we all remember starting up years ago. it don't seem a0 years, it only seems like a0 minutes. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email newswatch@bbc.co.uk or you can find us on twitter @newswatchbbc. you can call us on 0370 010 6676. do have a look at previous interviews on our website — bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye.

good morning and welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. 0ur headlines today... labour calls for the conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi to be sacked, after reports he paid a tax penalty, as part of a multi—million pound settlement with hmrc. president zelensky says he'll keep asking western allies to send modern tanks to ukraine, after a meeting of more than 50 countries ended without agreement. the parents of student david nash, who died after four remote gp appointments, call on doctors to see more patients face to face.

8:02 am
declared, and paid in the uk. david wallace—lockha rt reports. nadhim zahawi is the chairman of the conservative party and sits around the cabinet table. he was the chancellor for a few months in the final days of boris johnson's government. he's now facing questions about his tax affairs. before politics he co—founded the polling company yougov. questions have been asked about whether he tried to avoid paying tax by using an offshore company to hold shares in the firm. but the conservative party chairman has denied benefiting from, or having any involvement with the offshore company. it has previously been reported that he agreed to make a payment to the taxman to settle a dispute. yesterday, the guardian reported this included a 30% penalty as part of a bill thought to amount to around £5 million. the bbc has not been able to verify these claims. a spokesman has previously said mr zahawi's taxes are properly declared and paid in the uk.

for breaking rocks and rules. ukraine says it will keep pushing to be supplied with modern tanks, after a meeting of allied nations in germany ended without an agreement to provide them. protests have taken place in berlin to demand the approval of german—made tanks to be sent to kyiv. aruna iyengar has this report. this is what kyiv wants but can't yet have. german made leopard 2 tanks as part of hopes for hundreds of western battle tanks to help defend their country and take back their land. ukraine says modern tanks are key to holding back russia's expansion plans. translation: the partners are firm in their attitude. they will support ukraine as much as necessary for our victory. yes, we will still have to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but every day we make it more obvious there is no alternative to making the decision on tanks. president zelensky has made his appeal to this
8:08 am
meeting of defence chiefs at ramstein airbase. poland has agreed to train ukrainian soldiers in using the leopard 2s, but berlin gets to decide where the leopard tanks are deployed. the us is also under pressure to make its abrams tanks available to ukrainian forces. it has not said yes yet, but is offering other support. until putin ends this war, his war of choice, the nations of this contact group will continue to support the defence of ukraine in order to uphold the rules—based international order. domestic politics, its past, and a fear of escalating the conflict all play into germany's caution. but this meeting was about more thanjust tanks, with much wider pledges of military aid and an air of urgency. frontline ukrainian units are using soviet—era tanks — they need modern equipment. they expect a spring offensive from russia and bigger battles to come. aruna iyengar, bbc news.
8:09 am
the united states is designating the wagner mercenary group, which is fighting alongside russian forces in ukraine, as an international criminal organisation. it accuses the group of committing atrocities in ukraine, and says the majority of wagner troops deployed there were drawn from prisons. extra sanctions will be imposed on it next week. the co—founder of the bus and coach group stagecoach has been charged with human trafficking offences. dame ann gloag, her husband david mccleary and two other members of their family have also been charged. all four deny the accusations. a bbc investigation has found that hundreds of thousands of calls made to nhs mental health helplines in england are going unanswered. the phone lines, which are supposed to be available 2a hours a day, are designed to provide support for those who are suicidal, or in emotional distress. 0ur reporter adam eley spoke to hannah, who says it took her two days to get through.
8:10 am
for me to call, it is because i am at my absolute lowest and i am about to do something. for years hannah has struggled with her mental health, at times wanting to take her own life. in these moments she called her nhs trust's 24—hour helpline for urgent mental health support. but too often, she says, no—one picked up. i have literally been crying my eyes out and left a message on the answerphone and no—one has ever got back to me. it makes it ten times worse, i know for me, i start to spiral. when she has been able to get through, hannah says support can be limited. on one occasion she told a staff member she no longer wanted to live. she actually said to me, "think happy thoughts and read a book." when i said that is not going to help, that is when she hung up and said "you don't want to help yourself." i ended up going to a&e. south london and maudsley nhs trust has since apologised, adding that improvements has been made. nhs crisis lines in england receive more than 200,000 calls a month, aiming to signpost people to services and provide urgent phone support. but figures obtained by the bbc show
8:11 am
at least 618,000 calls went unanswered in 2021—22. two recent coroner's reports have highlighted issues with crisis lines that preceded deaths, noting the demands on staff. it was a very exhausting job emotionally, it was impossible to answer all the calls. one former staff member says she felt overwhelmed and was not properly trained. i didn't feel prepared. you are expected to learn on the job, which is disappointing when the risk is so high and you are dealing with people's lives. experts say crisis lines can play a vital role, if they are able to meet demand. the point of them is to make the system really accessible, to make it easy not to go to a&e. and if that's not what is happening, then that's obviously a major problem. nhs england said it had made £7 million available to local areas to improve their crisis lines.
8:12 am
for hannah, if crisis lines are to improve, staff must have the time to speak to patients with compassion. you shouldn't have to be at absolute rock bottom to get decent care and to be spoken to like an actual human being. adam eley, bbc news. the red squirrel population in scotland appears to be making a comeback. a survey by volunteers has found that efforts to increase the species in the north east of the country have been successful, with the animal returning to the aberdeen area. meanwhile the numbers of its grey rival have decreased. lots of you are getting in touch. we will talk to matt in a second because he saw a black squirrel in canada, and he has seen red squirrels as well. i haven't seen one in years, absolutely yes. i have never seen a black squirrel. no, i
8:13 am
haven't. lots of you have got in touch. julie says, "i regularly have black squirrels come to my bird feeder, and they are also in the next village in bedfordshire, and also whilst walking my dog we saw a pure white squirrel stop" terry says, "i have seen many black squirrels in and around cambridge, including in the village where i live." they are everywhere! we can bring you some incredible images. it was taken by residents in turkey. that is a cloud. a rare circular cloud formation, known as a lenticular cloud, covered the early morning sky above the city of bursa. it looks like a ufa. unusual. it's
8:14 am
unbelievable. the unusual sight, which has gone viral, remained intact for an hour before disappearing. we don't get clouds around where we live. this is what is going on in salford at the moment! no lenticular clouds there. but it is a beautiful sunrise this morning. cold, chilly, but a beautiful, i think. sunrise this morning. cold, chilly, but a beautiful, ithink. if sunrise this morning. cold, chilly, but a beautiful, i think. if you row is enjoying the water as well. matt has got a volcano cloud behind him! that is the lenticular cloud. they are actually very common and can last for hours on end, and we do get them in the uk. their official name is a bit of a mouthful on a saturday morning. it is where you get air in a fairly stable atmosphere, it rises up a fairly stable atmosphere, it rises up over the mountain, and as it rises it cools and the clouds start to form into those kind of pancake
8:15 am
shapes. they can stack up and there can be many on top of one another. a spectacular one court in spain this year. the reason why they looked so weird in turkey is because it was viewed from right underneath, rather than looking at it from the side. and the sun setting gave it its amazing glow. but we do get them here in the uk, often across parts of scotland. but today it is different cloud in scotland. it is going to bring some rain to some today, and bring a lift in temperature. this is the satellite imagery. spilling off the atlantic during the day, driving in milder air, so temperatures across western scotland and northern ireland, six orseven scotland and northern ireland, six or seven celsius, compared to —6 across the heart of england and mid wales at the moment. mist and fog patches will linger across some river valleys in parts of central england in particular, so a cold day for some. the cloud increases to the
8:16 am
north and west of england and wales today, but scotland and northern ireland are cloud just of all. some shelter towards the east. we will see outbreaks of rain continue. some snow over the hills, may be reaching the grampians into the afternoon, but not a huge amount. 8 degrees in belfast. if the fog lingers in central england, you may only reach one or two this afternoon. tonight, the frost returns but this time it is parts of central and eastern england were there could also be fog patches. rain in western scotland, and temperatures in belfast and stornoway today won't drop tonight, hovering at around nine celsius. minus seven celsius in parts of central and eastern england. the reason it stays cold in the south and east, this high pressure extends all the way across to russia with cold air tied in. all the way across to russia with cold airtied in. it all the way across to russia with cold air tied in. it is still there on sunday. the fog will be slow to clear, but brightest in southern and eastern parts. more sunshine to the north and west of scotland, but another cloudy day here. western
8:17 am
england and northern ireland a lot cloudier, and they could be rain across western coasts. 10 celsius in stornoway and belfast, only one celsius in parts of east anglia and the south—east. little changes into monday. fog could again be an issue for the morning commute. more sunshine across england and wales away from the western coast on monday and there will be more rain at times in northern scotland. temperatures there around ten or 11 celsius. parts of scotland could reach 1a celsius on tuesday, where is it will only beat four or five celsius in the south. the parents of a law student who died after four remote gp appointments, say they want to make sure no—one goes through what their son did, after a coroner ruled he was likely to have lived if he had been seen face—to—face. david nash died in november 2020 after developing an infection in his ear, which caused an abscess on his brain. phil bodmer reports.

8:22 am
more than others, but if he is somebody who doesn't ring very often and keeps ringing back, something that should have been done sooner for him? :, :, :, :, for him? you are right on that ioint. for him? you are right on that point- what — for him? you are right on that point. what we _ for him? you are right on that point. what we do, _ for him? you are right on that point. what we do, every - for him? you are right on that - point. what we do, every practice has their own policy. we are individual businesses, but most practices, we have your notes on the record so we know exactly how many contacts we have. a duty doctor on a monday, i will look back at the notes and i will say they've made contact christ, lets get to see them face—to—face. we offer a whole range, it can be telephone conference —— video consultations. for some people, telephone consultation comes to face—to—face, it is usually a trigger where there are levels of anxiety. it doesn't mean that at some times when you get a diagnosis. lots of times you can see a patient multiple times face—to—face, and unfortunately that swiss cheese effect can happen. we are human
8:23 am
beings running a system, mistakes can happen, but it is trying to make sure we are keeping our patients safe in a system that is currently overburdened. what i say to patients is firstly, always make contact if you are worried. but there are other health care professionals, like the clinical pharmacist. 70% of minor illnesses, they can deal with. the other things that would warrant contact with the gp, having a face—to—face conversation, is what we would deem as red flags. that is lamps, and i think in his case he had a lump on the net, and that would have been my trigger to say let's get you into the gp practice, and make sure we have got ppe in the height of the pandemic. lamps in the breast, bleeding from the back passage, bleeding if you are going for a wee, if you have got back pain and you have tried pain relief and you have got numbness down one side of the leg, those are deemed as red flags that would trigger of an urgent appointment on the day. it is
8:24 am
interesting. — urgent appointment on the day. it is interesting, again, we talk generally to advise other people, but also about this. i mean, he had lumps on his neck that he told them about on his very first call. as you just said, that is one of the things that would be a red flag. is there an issue here about the thin way in which staff are stretched, and whether you get triage over the phone by the right person? he spoke to nurse practitioners. do you understand what i mean? are gp practices, do they have the right people answering the calls to do the work that needs to be done and give the diagnoses that need to be given? the role of a receptionist is one of the toughest because they are triaging at the point of care, but they know this is a medical query. we have lots of training that receptionists go through, and they are incredibly competent in their job. then the nurse practitioners arejust as job. then the nurse practitioners are just as brilliant. job. then the nurse practitioners
8:25 am
arejust as brilliant. when i do duty doctor, my nurse practitioner will see i would sayjust as many calls as i do, and we liaise with each other if she is ever concerned about anything, and each other if she is ever concerned aboutanything, and i'm each other if she is ever concerned about anything, and i'm always there. likewise, sometimes there is a dressing that needs to be done and i am not the best person for that. and actually my district nurse will go out and do that, or it could be the other nurse practitioner in the surgery that can do dressings. so we all have our different expertise, and that's why we work as a team in the general practice, to make sure we give the best care that we possibly can. but we can't discount allied health care professionals. they are out there in the community, like our pharmacist, who are just as brilliant. they also have the expertise to rule out this is a cough or cold, or a lump in the neck that needs to be put higher in the triage list to get a second opinion, and clinical pharmacist can also provide medicine over the counter. this is such a tragic case. i think we have got to be mindful that it is

there are growing calls for the train company transpennine express to have its contract revoked, after more than 40% of planned trains were cancelled this week. the operator, which runs trains in the north of england and into scotland, has apologised and said "high levels of sickness and a training backlog" caused the issues. spencer stokes has been on board to see what commuters have been making of the disruption. 20 past seven in the morning and the manchester band platform at leeds is designed to. passengers appear to be staying away as a result of back—to—back train cancellations. the next fast train to manchester won't leave for an hour. crossing the pennines involves getting an overcrowded stopping train. how long will this 43 mile journey take?

8:34 am
it is tortuous. businesses are telling me how much they are missing economically, people cannot get to interviews, people are missing funerals. young people cannot get to college. it is not acceptable, we have run out of patience. we are calling for transpennine to lose the franchise, to be stripped of it, because they cannot run the service. it is costing us £2 million a week in west yorkshire, £8 million across the whole of the north. last week alone we had 600 cancellations. transpennine has responded to the criticism and it says that it has been recruiting more drivers, 113 so far this year compared to 57 21—22, they are our shortages across the industry, the pandemic meant that new train drivers couldn't be trained up to the levels to be able to work and get the train is moving. what makes you think that another train operator would do it better if

8:36 am
that if we don't have a consistent and reliable and affordable train line? it is not fit for purpose and they should lose the franchise. the rail minister _ they should lose the franchise. the rail minister has said that if the service cannot be turned around then decisions will be made. the kind of axe is hovering, the threat is there, what more can be done? certainly, as chair of the group of mayors, i convene a meeting, to put transpennine on notice to say, we want to see improvements, where is your plan for improvement? we haven't seen any plan, we haven't seen any change, it hasn't got any better, if anything it has got worse, they know there is scrutiny, people are looking at them to improve, and we haven't seen any change, so it is not good enough. we have run out of patience in the

place to make sure that trains run, because don't forget, in the north, between leeds and manchester, we only have one line, that is why we have been campaigning for that new between leeds and manchester with an all—important stop in bradford that would bring £30 billion in our region, so that we have at least a choice. in london, if one line isn't working, you have other ways to get about. if we don't have the transpennine working, the taxes are too expensive, bus routes take forever, it is really difficult for the people of west yorkshire. so we're sick of red and we want see change. —— we are sick of it. we're sick of red and we want see change. -- we are sick of it. thank ou for change. -- we are sick of it. thank you forjoining _ change. -- we are sick of it. thank you forjoining us. _ now the latest sports news. andy murray on court? yes, i cannot get my head around it. after two gruelling five—set thrillers at this year's australain open, andy murray is back,

trying to summon up even more mental and physical strength as he tries to reach the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time in six years. remember it was after four o clock but you cannot discount him. tradition for him to give his opponents head start. he has looked tired so far, but he is smiling after it. remember it was after four o clock in the morning just yesterday that he eventually won the longest match of his career, and so it was to be expected that there would be signs of tiredness and so it proved, as he was off the pace in the opening games. murray may have a metal hip, but he is still human, trying to reach super human levels of performance. he may be 5—1 down in the first set,
8:40 am
but you cannot write him off. even if he goes to— zero, you will get better against him. just like you wouldn't bet against him. novak djokovic is up against grigor dimitrov. djokovic is going for a tenth title in melbourne and a record equalling 22nd men's grand slam. djokovic has established a break of serve in the fifth set. —— first set. andy murray is the last british player in the men's singles after dan evans was knocked out earlier, overpowered by the fifth seed andre rublev, 6—4, 6—2, 6—3. rublev thanked evans for giving him a banana during a break in the match — the brit had a spare one and the russian rublev said it gave him extra energy. two struggling premier league heavyweights go head—to—head today as ninth—place liverpool host chelsea, who are just below them in the table. not many people would have predicted this at the start of the season. people talk about the premier league

"a former munitionette who worked with deadly explosives during world war ii," that's me! hello! i am bessie allen and i am 102. i was 19 years old, and i was making weapons that were going to help the allied forces win the war. i do realise now what a dangerous job it was when i think about it. people did have accidents. they could lose their hands or their eyesight. they did lose life in some factories. so what did you do to those then, bess? put the projectile in the top. right, in each one of them? yeah. i think it's about time people

with anything, it just had to wear off. i am very proud of you, bess, because you are a special lady. she is very modest. she doesn't emphasise how really dangerous it was. i don't think they could've won the war without people like us. it's really forgotten about. we haven't had any recognition for what we did. that was former munitions worker bessie allen, and that film was by nicola rees. do you or someone you know have a story to share about world war ii? ahead of its 80th anniversary in 2025, the bbc is trying to gather as many first—hand accounts from surviving veterans as possible, to preserve them for future generations. you can email bbc breakfast or get in touch via the bbc news website.

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. our headlines today... labour calls for the conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi to be sacked, after reports he paid a tax penalty, as part of a multi—million pound settlement with hmrc president zelensky says he'll keep asking western allies to send modern tanks to ukraine, after a meeting of more than 50 countries ended without agreement. climbing kilimanjaro — the mum of murdered british backpacker grace millane tells us why she's taking on charity fundraising in memory of her daughter. ion walk mountains every day of my life, you know? if i am getting out

9:02 am
david wallace—lockha rt reports. nadhim zahawi is the chairman of the conservative party and sits around the cabinet table. he was the chancellor for a few months in the final days of boris johnson's government. he's now facing questions about his tax affairs. before politics he co—founded the polling company yougov. questions have been asked about whether he tried to avoid paying tax by using an offshore company to hold shares in the firm. but the conservative party chairman has denied benefiting from, or having any involvement with the offshore company. it has previously been reported that he agreed to make a payment to the taxman to settle a dispute. yesterday, the guardian reported this included a 30% penalty as part of a bill thought to amount to around £5 million. the bbc has not been able to verify these claims. a spokesman has previously said mr zahawi's taxes are properly declared and paid in the uk. labour say he has to step
9:03 am
down from government. these are very serious allegations and it is untenable for him to continue in hisjob if he has misled the public on millions of tax which is important we need to go into our public services. one tax expert told newsnight a 30% penalty is at the lower end of the scale. the first level of penalty is for carelessness. there is no penalty if you make a genuine mistake and you took reasonable care over your tax affairs. if you were careless, then the first level of penalty applies. in the uk, for uk tax, that is 30%. a spokesman for nadhim zahawi previously told the bbc that he has never had to instruct lawyers to deal with lawyers to deal with hmrc on his behalf, let's speak now to our political correspondent jonathan blake. jonathan, this is an issue that continues to rumble on for mr zahawi?
9:04 am
no, the questions keep coming, the scrutiny continues over nadhim zahawi 's tax affairs. there has been no denial of the reports in the newspaper last weekend and yesterday that he made a multi—million pound tax settlement to hmrc, and that he paid a penalty on top of that. we have been told by a spokesperson for nadhim zahawi that his taxes are properly declared and paid in the uk, but he himself has not come forward to answer questions on this, and is clearly trying to ride out this swell of scrutiny that continues. his colleagues, though, have been facing questions, and this morning on bbc breakfast, the deputy prime minister dominic raab was asked about nadhim zahawi 's tax affairs. he asked about nadhim zahawi 's tax affairs. . , , , asked about nadhim zahawi 's tax affairs. ., , , , . ., ., affairs. he has been very clear that he has paid —

9:07 am
after a meeting of allied nations in germany ended without an agreement to provide them. protests have taken place in berlin to demand the approval of german—made tanks to be sent to kyiv. aruna iyengar has this report. this is what kyiv wants but can't yet have. german made leopard 2 tanks as part of hopes for hundreds of western battle tanks to help defend their country and take back their land. ukraine says modern tanks are key to holding back russia's expansion plans. translation: the partners are firm in their attitude. they will support ukraine as much as necessary for our victory. yes, we will still have to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but every day we make it more obvious there is no alternative to making the decision on tanks. president zelensky has made his appeal to this meeting of defence chiefs at ramstein airbase. poland has agreed to train ukrainian soldiers in using the leopard 2s, but berlin gets to decide where the leopard tanks

are deployed. the us is also under pressure to make its abrams tanks available to ukrainian forces. it has not said yes yet, but is offering other support. until putin ends this war, his war of choice, the nations of this contact group will continue to support the defence of ukraine in order to uphold the rules—based international order. domestic politics, its past, and a fear of escalating the conflict all play into germany's caution. but this meeting was about more thanjust tanks, with much wider pledges of military aid and an air of urgency. frontline ukrainian units are using soviet—era tanks — they need modern equipment. they expect a spring offensive from russia and bigger battles to come. aruna iyengar, bbc news. the united states is designating the wagner mercenary group, which is fighting alongside russian forces in ukraine, as an international
9:09 am
criminal organisation. it accuses the group of committing atrocities in ukraine, and says the majority of wagner troops deployed there were drawn from prisons. extra sanctions will be imposed on it next week. the co—founder of the bus and coach group stagecoach has been charged with human trafficking offences. dame ann gloag, her husband david mccleary and two other members of their family have also been charged. all four deny the accusations. a bbc investigation has found that hundreds of thousands of calls made to nhs mental health helplines in england are going unanswered. the phone lines, which are supposed to be available 21l hours a day, are designed to provide support for those who are suicidal, or in emotional distress. nhs england said crisis lines had seen "record demand" and that it had made seven—million pounds available to local areas to improve them. now, here's matt with a look at this morning's weather.
9:10 am
at 4am this morning i was scraping theice at 4am this morning i was scraping the ice of the windscreen, and someone else was up early, by the looks of it. i think a fair few will be doing the same listening to —— this morning. much milder in the west of scotland with temperatures at six or seven, but over the next few days the milder air will slowly push to a few more putts. two areas of the uk, north—east scotland and south—east england, fairly similar temperatures in these areas today, but by tuesday, milderairfully in these areas today, but by tuesday, milder airfully in place across the north—east of scotland and one or two spots up to ill. a struggle to get the milder air into the south—east throughout, so we stay with temperatures at or below average through this coming week. this stream of cloud is coming from the atlantic and reaching the north of the uk. that stops temperature is falling much overnight, and is also bringing milderair
9:11 am
falling much overnight, and is also bringing milder airfrom the mid—atlantic. six or 7 degrees out of the west, but in clear skies to the east it will be down to —7. some dense fog forming, and where you have got that across parts of england and wales, it will be a struggle to lift those temperatures. some of the fog will linger through the day. some chanters turning hazy in northern areas, of rain and drizzle at the moment and that will be heavy as this morning but light and patchy into the afternoon. some will reach the grampians and they could be snow on the but much of scotland and to the south of northern ireland will be dry. stornoway, nine, fell macro belfast aid. we will struggle to get above one or two celsius where fog lingers in parts of england and wales. central and eastern england will be colder tonight. with more cloud and further rain for western scotland and northern ireland tonight, those temperatures rarely fall. nine celsius as we start tomorrow morning. atlantic air rushing around
9:12 am
the northern edge of this area of high pressure, which is situated to the south and east. that'll keep things cold across the south—east corner through the coming days. dense on sunday again. the best of any sunshine will be the east midlands and further east and a lot more cloud elsewhere. 10 celsius in stornoway and belfast. it will be milder compared to what we are seeing across much of england. monday, very little changes. an area of high pressure, still with the atlantic air around the northern edge. more cloud and rain at times, especially for northern scotland. further light rain or drizzle around these irish sea coasts again, but more brightness across the south and east of wales, and to other parts of central england after morning fog. again, temperatures will struggle. ii celsius in belfast and stornoway on monday, and we are set to see that temperature rise even further.
9:13 am
monday into tuesday and wednesday, whilst we keep the high pressure just situated towards the south, we continue to bring atlantic air around and this weather front will try to bring something a little milder initially towards the southern parts, but it is limited. as we go through much of next week, london will be struggling with the cooler weather on tuesday, temperatures lifting to an average of nine celsius. a little bit of sunshine at times. the further north you are, the milder conditions. on tuesday across parts of the north—east and scotland, we could see temperatures up to ill celsius, especially around aberdeenshire. if you have been struggling with flooding over the past few weeks, good news in that through this week ahead there is very little rain in the forecast. what we do see will be mainly light and patchy across the north and west of scotland. and where we have seen floods across parts of through this week, those rising water levels, it does look like a largely dry week.
9:14 am
thank you, matt. a lot of people will be relieved to hear that about the rain. a day after the first of 20,000 defibrillator kits were rolled out to schools in england, there are now calls for the lifesaving devices to be made available in other public spaces. kye wilson was 18 when he suffered a cardiac arrest playing football, and if it wasn't for a defibrillator, he may not have survived. his story featured on tuesday's episode of "24 hours in a&e". angela rafferty�*s report contains some images you might find upsetting. phone ringing. hello. inaudible. post cardiac arrest? how old are they? of the cardiac arrest, i genuinely remember nothing. we have a cardiac arrest coming in. i fell asleep sunday,
9:15 am
and i woke up thursday in hospital. as kye fights for his life, cameras captured every moment. luckily, his heart's not stopped again. after massive cardiac arrest while playing football, it was touch and go for the teenager. we're just going to try and work out why this has happened. 0k. yeah? 0k. yeah, he's a strong| boy, he can do this. come on, son, please. i was given cpr but it wasn't really working too well, so then a defib was introduced and it went off, collectively throughout the day, about four or five times. charge to 360, please. as it went off, my heart would come back into rhythm but it would also stop again not too long after, so my heart actually stopped multiple times before the ambulance came, and it also stopped while i was with the ambulance, so a defib was pretty much used throughout the day. only 10% of people survive cardiac a arrest outside of hospital. kye knows how lucky he is to be alive. when i woke up, there was doctors around me,
9:16 am
people all talking around me, so knew something was going on. then i asked mum, "what happened?" she says, "can you not rememberany of it?" and i said, "no." and she said, "you collapsed on the football pitch, you got rushed into hospital and you almost passed away." wake up, kai. his battle to survive highlighted in a wall—on—the—wall documentary, kye hopes it will bring changes to the sport. i had never really heard of a defib until it came into play with saving my life. i think that's probably common with most people. no matter the money, no matter the costs, a person's life is always worth more than the value of money, and i feel like it's something that everyone should have access to, notjust in sports. amanda is trying to achieve that. her charity provides defibs to grassroots football clubs across nottingham for free. it's overwhelming to think that what i do could potentially save somebody like kye's life. so, if you can use one within five minutes, it can potentially save a life, up to 78%. kye's coach who was first on scene believes it has to happen.
9:17 am
every club should have them, i every venue should have them. they're just vital, - they generally save lives, which kye's is a prime example of. i've had to relish the chance i was given — another change at life, whereas, i'm still upset other people have passed away from this unfortunate incident. take my story, and be prepared for anything to happen in life because you never know when today is your last day. kye wilson ending angela rafferty�*s report there. we wish him all the best. and you can watch kye's story in full on "24 hours in a&e" on all 4. let's now speak to the cardiologist, dr andrew deaner, who helped save fabrice muamba's life when he suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch. his life too was saved thanks to a defibrillator. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. i suppose itjust

9:20 am
fabrice muamba himself was involved in campaigns to get cpr onto the school curriculum, and then there was a step to get defibrillators into schools, and now we need to get them in every place that someone may have a cardiac arrest, so getting them into grassroots sports centres is really important. they are not expensive, they are only £1000. that's less than the cost of a new iphone, orsimilar. it is that's less than the cost of a new iphone, or similar. it is really a straightforward thing to do. and very easy—to—use? yes. you open them up, and it will start talking to you. it will tell you exactly what to do. it will tell you what to do in terms of cpr whilst you are getting ready, and then it will talk you through which buttons to press and what to do. you have to do very little. it will decide whether there is a shocker book rhythm and it will shock for you. is a shocker book rhythm and it will shock for you-— shock for you. how important is screening. _ shock for you. how important is screening, critically _ shock for you. how important is screening, critically for - shock for you. how important is screening, critically for young . screening, critically for young people? we hear tragically all too often about young people who are maybe doing sport, or swimming as

9:23 am
apartment where he strangled her. it was 1 december 2018, the day before grace's 22nd birthday. we, as a family, we have all been handed a life sentence, you know? there is a big hole, a massive hole. she should be enjoying herself, you know, not where she is now, you know? life is never, ever the same. life will never be the same. four years after the death of her daughter, she is training for an extraordinary challenge, to climb kilimanjaro, the highest peak in africa. you can go in that big, dark hole, and believe me, i have been there. it is not a nice place, it is not a good place to be, so to have the training for kili, to have a purpose to get up and do
9:24 am
things is immense. it is positive. i am trying to make a positive out over negative. i walk mountains every day of my life, you know, even getting out of bed is a chore, so i thought why not claim —— climb a real one? it has been the hardest four years for gill, she was mourning the death of her daughter she lost her husband, david, to cancer. it was thoughts of david and grace that kept her going up the mountain. that was a hard day. i am absolutely wiped. doing it for grace, david, thought of you all the way and i am sure that you are pushing me.
9:25 am
just very overwhelmed, very, very emotional. we have done it! we have done it. i've just... i can't say no more. i always said, where ever i would go i would put a stone down with her name on it so in some ways she was still travelling around the world, and if somebody would come along and pick it up she would go somewhere else, so for me to put the pebbles up there with their names on, you know, that was a really big thing and, you know, they came with me all the way. they are up there still, hopefully, yes, they are up there. we now know the man who strangled
9:26 am
grace, jesse shane kempson, had nine previous convictions including rape and sexual violence. in court, he claimed what had happened was an accident. rough sex gone wrong. thejury happened was an accident. rough sex gone wrong. the jury didn't believe him, and he was sentenced to 17 years in prison. the family have successfully campaigned to get the so—called rough sex defence bound. in england and wales, that defence has changed. but there is a long way to go yet. a long way to go. and all it does is victimise the victims. as all that is, it is a loop home and it victimises the victims. after her daughter's murder gill started a new course, love grace, she fills handbags with toiletries and make up and sends them to women's refuges. women can often leave a violent relationship in a moment of crisis with nothing. gill climbed kilimanjaro in part
9:27 am
to raise money for the project, she says, helping other women trapped in violent relationships has kept her going. you can achieve things, you know? hopefully with me doing this and with my team behind me doing this that we have helped up somebody else that is going through this grief process, you know? that you can... you can do things. sometimes you don't feel like you can, but you can. the love grace project is now sent more than 13,000 handbags to women all over the world. it is an extraordinary achievement, from a family determined to turn a tragedy into a force for good. graham satchell, bbc news. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen.

9:42 am
he now leads 6—5 in the second set, looks closer than the first. novak djokovic is up against grigor dimitrov. djokovic is going for a tenth title in melbourne and a record—equalling 22nd men's grand slam. it went to a tie—break in the first set. djokovic won. andy murray is the last british player in the men's singles, after dan evans was knocked out earlier, overpowered by the fifth seed andre rublev, 6—4, 6—2, 6—3. rublev thanked evans for giving him a banana during a break in the match — the brit had a spare one and the russian rublev said it gave him extra energy. two struggling premier league heavyweights go head—to—head today as ninth place liverpool host chelsea, who are just below them in the table. not many people would have predicted this at the start of the season, both teams 19 points off leaders arsenal. honestly, arsenal deserve where they are, play— honestly, arsenal deserve where they are, play outstanding _ honestly, arsenal deserve where they are, play outstanding football, - honestly, arsenal deserve where they are, play outstanding football, top. i are, play outstanding football, top. but cutout — are, play outstanding football, top. but cutout five _ are, play outstanding football, top. but cutout five players, _ are, play outstanding football, top. but cutout five players, all- are, play outstanding football, top. but cutout five players, all three i but cutout five players, all three

9:45 am
thought you'd see on a motorbike, as we take you to northern spain where emma is training for the new season. defying gravity wherever she goes, stuck between a rock and a hard place in an uphill battle, but that's never a barrier for emma bristow who's redefining what is possible on a motorbike. these are the skills that have made her a global superstar in the sport of motorcycle trials, already an eight—time world champion. yeah, pretty incredible, the first one was probably the hardest but then it's carrying on every year, because you're never satisfied. i was always, one, "0h, let's go for another one." it's unlike any other motorsport, as it's not about speed, instead it's the skill, balance and technique to overcome any obstacle thrown at you across
9:46 am
the most hostile terrain. putting your feet down or crashing will cost you penalty points. the winner is the rider who can hold their nerve and complete multiple laps of a course with the least amount of points. there have been times where i have been scared where i've beenjumping off a cliff face and i don't want to look left because there is a really big drop, but that's all part of the buzz of the competition and just feeling at one with the bike, really. i do put the hard work in. there's a lot of training. dark nights in the garage that people don't see. you have to put the hours in, the dedication, the sacrifices. emma started out riding on the family farm in lincolnshire when she was little. rather different — the flat landscape there to the mountains, rocky terrain in the hills near barcelona, going up rock faces that many climbers would be worried about, let alone doing it on a 300cc motorbike, with all of that power
9:47 am
in your hands. as soon as i could walk, i was on a bike. just family, really. always enjoyed riding with the family on the farm and just took it a bit further than everyone else. only on the bike can you really appreciate the skill in controlling such power at your fingertips with such precision. softer tyres help give you extra bounce, but at first it's just about keeping your balance while standing up because you may have noticed that something's missing. there no seat, you don't sit down, like a jockey! no, no. we need to see him fall off. yeah. laughs. imagined being perched on top of a rock like that. you're holding on, aren't you? yeah. but if you let go... oh, my goodness, the balance. it's a sport where you use lots of muscles where you don't realise. a lot of strength. it's all about where you put your wheels, and you need a good line on things. yeah, it's totally different to a road bike. advising emma on those angles
9:48 am
and lines to take is her team minder, who's there as well if she falls off, but itjust helps that james is also her husband. it's how we met. it's nice that we've been able to sort of create a life around what started out as a hobby and what has become emma's career. you have to build up a relationship to know— you have to build up a relationship to know what is going on between the rider and _ to know what is going on between the rider and the person persisting —— person— rider and the person persisting —— person assisting. it is hard enough to make a career in motorsport but to do it as a female, it is incredible what she has been able to achieve and i am really proud of her. emma is blazing a trail for women in this sport, and is only one of a few who was able to turn professional with a manufacturer, allowing her to be a full—time writer. it is a male—dominated sport, not an olympic sport either, it has been difficult to get the coverage that sponsors need or want. i compete against the men in the british championship. i am always competing against the boys.
9:49 am
i enjoy it. she is also inspiring more female riders to try the sport like alice, who was once just a young fan, who now competes alongside emma in the world championships. started riding when i was four, emma has always been a hugej inspiration to me. she has always been there, getting better and better. all the time. it has just almost showed me a path to follow. i be able to train preseason, _ competing in the world championship alongside her, it is that everything i have ever dreamt of. _ the new season starts next week with an indoor competition in spain. then it is to the great outdoors again, and another chance to relish a rocky road ahead. she makes it look rather graceful
