good morning. welcome to breakfast, with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. our headlines today: labour reports borisjohnson to the parliamentary standards watchdog over claims that bbc chairman richard sharp helped him secure an £800,000 loan guarantee. a concert featuring global stars, a day of volunteering, and a big lunch — buckingham palace reveals new details for the king's coronation weekend. the british researchers using hollywood avatar technology to improve treatment for patients with rare genetic disorders. frank lampard says he is determined to fight on and doesn't fear being sacked, despite another defeat for his everton side that leaves

them joint bottom of the premier league. and it's another cold day to day across southern and eastern parts of england, with some dense fog lingering for some in the north and west. more cloud and gradually turning milder. i'll have all the details here on breakfast. it's sunday 22 january. our main story: labour is calling for an investigation into claims made in the sunday times that the chairman of the bbc helped borisjohnson to secure a loan of £800—thousand just weeks before he was recommended for the position at the corporation by the then prime minister. richard sharp, whosejob involves upholding the bbc�*s independence, has denied any conflict of interest. a spokesperson for mrjohnson said he had never sought or received any financial advice from mr sharp. 0ur political correspondent helen catt reports. richard sharp was appointed as the

new chair of the bbc injanuary 2021. he was chosen by the culture secretary and the prime minister, then borisjohnson. the sunday times is claiming that, weeks before, he had helped mrjohnson get access to a loan of up to £800,000 by putting the country's most senior civil servant in touch with a distant relative of the prime minister, who had proposed acting as a guarantor. mr sharp has confirmed he connected the two men, but says there was no conflict because he had no further involvement. the paper says he didn't declare the role he had played during his application for the bbcjob. labour believes mr johnson should have declared the arrangements on his register of interests. his party chair, anneliese dodds, has asked the parliamentary watchdogs who investigate. in her letter, she said that a lack of transparency may give the impression that this was a quid pro quo arrangement, something which would undermine the integrity of the democratic process and calls into question the process by which the

chairman of the bbc was appointed. a spokesman for mrjohnson said... the bbc said it had no role in the recruitment of the chair, and any questions were a matter for the government, which has not yet responded to our request for comment. the prime minister has expressed confidence in the conservative party chairman, nadhim zahawi, after he admitted an error in his tax affairs. mr zahawi said hmrc accepted an error he had made concerning shares in the survey company yougov, which he set up more than 20 years ago. britain's labour party has called on mr zahawi to resign and says there are still questions left to answer. more details about the king's coronation have been released by buckingham palace, and they include plans to hold a concert with world—famous entertainers. the concert will also feature a choir made up of nhs workers, refugees and lgbtq+ singing groups. the coronation will be held across the first weekend in may, as our royal correspondent

nick witchell reports. it will be 70 years since the nation last witnessed the coronation of a british monarch. that was in 1953, and the monarch travelling in the gold coronation coach was of course the late queen elizabeth. once again, for the coronation of king charles iii, there will be a procession from buckingham palace to westminster abbey. no route has so far been disclosed, but common sense suggests that it will be down the mall to trafalgar square and then via whitehall to the abbey. there will be a second, larger procession after the service, which will take the newly crowned king and queen consort back to the palace, where they will appear on the palace balcony, the first such appearance since last year's platinum jubilee of the late queen. no details of the coronation service have been given.

they're still under review, but here are the highlights for the rest of the coronation weekend. on sunday 7 may there will be the coronation big lunch, an opportunity, as happened during the jubilee, for communities to organise their own street parties. then, that evening at windsor castle, there'll be a special coronation concert produced and broadcast live by the bbc. once again it will echo the jubilee. according to the palace, it will bring together global music icons and contemporary stars. there will also be an appearance by the coronation choir, drawn from community choirs across the uk. there will be a national ballot for tickets, to be organised by the bbc. on monday 8 may, a public holiday, there will be something called the big help out, a day when people across the uk will be encouraged to volunteer and join groups like the scouts or royal voluntary service in support of their local communities. overall, the palace says the king and queen consort hope the coronation weekend will give people an opportunity to celebrate

with families, friends and their local communities, here in britain and across the commonwealth. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the uk steel industry, which supports thousands ofjobs, is a whisker away from collapse according to the unite union. the union has written to the business secretary calling for an urgent meeting after accusing the government of taking little action to support the sector. the government said the success of the steel industry is a priority. investigators have seized more classified documents from presidentjoe biden�*s home in the us state of delaware. the files were found in a search of the property by officials from the justice department. an investigator is already looking into the president's use of government records after similar documents were discovered earlier this month. the white house says it is continuing to co—operate. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, has attended a memorial service for the country's former interior minister and six other officials who were killed in a helicopter crash earlier this week. the helicopter crashed onto a nursery in the outskirts of kyiv on wednesday.

seven people including one child were also killed. officials are still investigating the cause of the crash. massive demonstrations have been held in israel against plans of the new right—wing government to overhaul the judicial system and limit the power ofjudges. there were more than 100,000 protesters in tel aviv. it was the largest demonstration since benjamin netanyahu's return to power last month. the protesters say that plans to limit the powers of the judiciary are a direct attack on democracy. millions of people around the world are welcoming in the year of the rabbit as the chinese new year celebrations begin. the event kicks off a 15—day festival, and it's the first time since the pandemic began that it has been held without any travel restrictions in china, as michael bristow reports. there is excitement and relief as china begins celebrating its first lunar new year since

the lifting of covid restrictions. not surprisingly, there are more travellers than last year. there are expected to be 2 billion individualjourneys in china over the whole holiday, although that is still fewer than before the outbreak began. for some, it is their first get—together since the start of the pandemic. translation: i'm very happy to see my son and his family. | this is ourfirst reunion in three years. but covid is casting a shadow over the new year. many are still cautious about travelling. people fear they could be taking disease home with them. translation: although we've opened up, i still have concerns. _ everyone needs to take measures to protect themselves. and for parents and the elderly who haven't got covid yet, we still need to be careful for them. in a new year address, china's leader, xijinping, promised

glories and dreams in the upcoming year of the rabbit. in perhaps a veiled reference to china's current covid crisis, he said this passing year's achievements have not come easy. chinese officials are trying to convince the public that the worst is over, but there are fears that such a huge movement of people across china over the lunar new year could fuel further covid infections and deaths. michael bristow, bbc news. a big moment for china. happy new year, if you are celebrating. let's have a look at the weather, bright and early this morning. matt is with us. another cold start for lots of people this morning, i think. it is indeed, roger. _ people this morning, ithink. it 3 indeed, roger. this was the scene yesterday in 0xfordshire, where the fog did not clear all day long for some, and for some of you, particularly across england and wales, it was a very cold day. temperatures not getting above freezing throughout, especially across parts of 0xfordshire, again, where through this morning we had

temperatures at the moment of around minus nine degrees. this is at the start of the day, so very cold, very frosty, but it's not the same everywhere. as you can see in the blue colours, mainly in the east of wales and parts of england, stepping out to western england and scotland, a much milder start. plus nine for some, with quite a subtle comic southerly breeze. but the downside is outbreaks of rain to start your day, especially across northern ireland and western scotland. some patchy drizzle in the west. with the cold start across central and eastern england, dense patches of fog. like yesterday, some of that will not shift all day long. where it does, there will be some sunny spells through the midlands, and the southin spells through the midlands, and the south in the south—east. temperatures still around one or two degrees at the highest, some staying below freezing. we will see a bit more brightness this afternoon in scotland and northern ireland, which could get to around ten or ii. could get to around ten or 11. through the evening and overnight, the cloud is still there across many western areas, pushing back parts of scotland and northern ireland. some drizzle around the west, but with

those clear skies in central and eastern england, dense patches of once more, and temperatures in towns and cities of “4 and —5, could get down to —18 if few spots. temperatures not dropping much, though, in scotland and northern ireland. this is the set up, this the reason why. big area of high pressure still in force across the south. 0ver pressure still in force across the south. over the top of that we had atlantic air bringing cloud and mild conditions across scotland and northern ireland. under it is almost the same again. more breaks, though, in the cloud towards the north—east of scotland in the north coast of northern ireland, and a brighter day for some parts of northern england and wales compared with what we see through today. but temperatures are still split between the south—east and the north—west. temperatures actually claiming a little bit across the northern and western areas, at around ten or ii celsius. little changes into tuesday. in fact, the biggest change will come tuesday night into wednesday as this weather front works its way southwards. what we will see on tuesday as may be more cloud putting into east anglia and the south—east. fog patches elsewhere, which will gradually clear to some sunny

spells, but cloudiest across parts of western scotland, northern ireland and northern england and north—west wales. some patchy drizzle possible by tuesday and areas of the north—east of scotland will get to 13 or 1a degrees. the chance of some rain edging its way southwards as we go through wednesday, and then into the end of the week it is brighter conditions. it stays on the cooler side the further south you are, but actually temperatures returning closer to normal, always a bit milderfurther north. figs normal, always a bit milder further north. a. normal, always a bit milder further north. ., ~ normal, always a bit milder further north. a. , ., ~ normal, always a bit milder further north. ., | normal, always a bit milder further north-_ i wasi north. as always, thank you. i was 'ust auoin north. as always, thank you. i was just going to _ north. as always, thank you. i was just going to say. _ north. as always, thank you. i was just going to say. i— north. as always, thank you. i was just going to say, i love _ north. as always, thank you. i was just going to say, i love that - north. as always, thank you. i was| just going to say, i love that image from the beginning. the foggy, misty one of the bridge was like something from a period drama. it is one of the bridge was like something from a period drama.— from a period drama. it is a good eriod from a period drama. it is a good period drama. — from a period drama. it is a good period drama, that. _ from a period drama. it is a good period drama, that. coach - from a period drama. it is a good period drama, that. coach and i from a period drama. it is a good - period drama, that. coach and horses going _ period drama, that. coach and horses going over_ period drama, that. coach and horses going over the top. a period drama, that. coach and horses going over the top-— going over the top. a murder mystery- _ going over the top. a murder mystery. there _ going over the top. a murder mystery. there you - going over the top. a murder mystery. there you go. - going over the top. a murder mystery. there you go. that| going over the top. a murder. mystery. there you go. that is a weather watcher's _ mystery. there you go. that is a weather watcher's picture, - weather watcher's picture, presumably?— weather watcher's picture, resumabl? , ., i, presumably? yes, from yesterday in 0xfordshire- — presumably? yes, from yesterday in 0xfordshire. weather _ presumably? yes, from yesterday in 0xfordshire. weather watchers - presumably? yes, from yesterday in 0xfordshire. weather watchers are l 0xfordshire. weather watchers are amazinu , 0xfordshire. weather watchers are amazing. they _ 0xfordshire. weather watchers are amazing, they take _ 0xfordshire. weather watchers are amazing, they take some - 0xfordshire. weather watchers are | amazing, they take some wonderful pictures _ amazing, they take some wonderful pictures |_ amazing, they take some wonderful ictures. . ., amazing, they take some wonderful ictures. _, .,, ., amazing, they take some wonderful ictures. ., pictures. i could lose a day looking

hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from behind—the—scenes at our home here at the bbc in london. it is here where we plan the shows and edit the films from all over the world, finding stories, juggling logistics and, just like everybody else, trying to find the biggest bang for our buck when it comes to travelling abroad. over the past decade here at the travel show hq it has been ourjob to create new content for you every week on a fairly modest budget. so no wonder we picked up a tip or two along the way about how to get the most for our money. we get the best value we can by packing in as much as possible on each trip, travelling light and using our network of local fixers and producers as often as we can to help bring down travel costs and our carbon footprint.

so how can you save money when you travel abroad in 2023? here is our global guru, simon calder, with some ideas. when so many of us are feeling the squeeze financially it is no wonder that some travellers are considering cutting back on adventures. when money is tight, seeing your ideal destination on tv or social media can stir up a load of negative feelings and leave you believing that your dream holiday, isjust that, a dream. in 2022 the travel show team went dune bashing in qatar. attended age—old ceremonies in chile, and saw some amazing creatures that also call this planet home at yellowstone. right over there in the distance is a grizzly bear. and this is how you can get to some of these

destinations. the usa is full of wish list locations, hollywood, miami beach, new york city and natural wonders like yellowstone which lucy and the travel show visited in early 2022, coinciding with its 150th anniversary as a national park. this is old faithful, probably one of the world's most famous geysers. there she goes. people save for years to see amazing places like yellowstone but with the cost of living soaring, are such trips becoming out of reach? as always, if you can travel at times of low demand you will get the best deal. keep costs down by taking cabin baggage only. most transatlantic airlines now charge extra for anything you want to check into the hold, but at the same time offer generous hand luggage

allowances and there is less chance that your valuables will go astray. in april, uk air passenger duty forfligths to north america increases to £87, or in anything other than basic economy, £191. you can avoid the tax by taking a ship to dublin or a train to paris and booking a flight from there. but allow plenty of time to make the connection if you miss the onward flight, you are not getting a refund. the same idea works in the opposite direction. if you are starting in north america and planning to visit a number of european countries, make britain the first nation you visit, not the last. for all its colour, scenery and wonders, south america appears on the wish lists of surprisingly few travellers. and that may not be about to change.

according to a survey by the leading uk travel association, significantly fewer travellers this year are looking to visit a country they have never been to before. with shrinking disposable income, that is understandable. but try and think big. in late march, carmen and the team switched spring for the southern hemisphere autumn in the long, thin and spectacular south american nation of chile and got to take part in some amazing experiences. when you think of mummies, you think of the ancient egyptians wrapped in bandages but these guys here, there are masks, sticks where their bones were and what is fascinating is the smaller mummies of children and babies. south america really rewards travellers who can invest time and a trend we have noticed at the travel show supported by industry data is

that the average length of stay is increasing. if you can spend weeks rather than days in a place you will get under the skin of it and have a much more enriching and enlightening experience. even better, stay with a family to understand the culture more deeply and to keep a lid on costs. homestays are easy to find online and typically have a minimum stay of a week or two. last month, the first—ever and sometimes controversial fifa world cup to be held in the middle east came to a thrilling conclusion as argentina lifted the trophy in qatar. every global sporting event creates a kind of travel vacuum after the game is over. but the alluring setting, the culture, the nature, not to mention the sunshine and the beaches remains as rajan discovered when he visited the gulf state in the buildup to the tournament.

so i put my mouth here. yes. and bite, right hand. again, again. if the middle east is on your list of places to go this year, now could be a very good time to be there. since the world cup, qatar has a vast number of hotel rooms to fill and so it has become the region's bargain basement location. in february, a room in a good budget hotel in central doha, five minutes walk from the national museum and ten minutes from the souk is selling at around $60 a night. roughly half of what you would pay for the equivalent property across in dubai. at the travel show it is notjust money we're looking to save, it is the planet as well. happily, the two often go hand—in—hand.

last summer, ade and the team saw the effects of climate change itself. since the fires have hit this whole area it now looks very different. as they visited the greek island of evia to see how it is recovering from devastating forest fires. look at that. just as far as the eye can see, all you are looking at is burnt trees. environmentally, tourism is unquestionably part of the problem. but if greece is on your travel agenda this year, then there are ways of limiting the impact on the planet and your pocket. between the two biggest cities, the capital, athens and thessaloniki in the north it used to be that the only quick way to make the journey was by plane. thankfully there is a new and much more environmentally friendly high—speed railway taking underfour hours between the two cities.

you can save money by being under 24 or over 64 and if you are somewhere in the middle, just sign up for the ht card. it is free and gives you a 15% discount reducing the cost of the cheapest ticket from 9 euros to less than 8. this is the classic africa of storybooks and the location of the great migration. for me, the most remarkable travel show trip of 2022 was the one that ended the year. a 2—parter out in africa called how does a blind girl go on safari?

in which visually impaired social media star lucy edwards joined the team in kenya. sobs it's ok, it's ok. it's completely fine. honestly, when you call baraka a blessing, he is a blessing. it is a blessing to be blind because it means he is meant to teach people a lesson. he is meant to be here to get people... to understand you should not be poaching these beautiful animals. the film made me think more deeply about africa and in particular the wildlife that coexists, often uneasily, with humanity. i have been lucky enough to go on safari in seven african countries and i found the costs are lowest in uganda and zimbabwe with namibia also offering some good deals. to limit the cost and the environmental impact, consider going on a guided walking safari rather than just hopping into the nearest 4x4. you might find it a more memorable

experience. during the pandemic, many of us realised just how intense was our passion for travel. and i am so excited about the opportunities to explore economically and responsibly this year. i have not regretted a single trip i have ever taken, only those i had to cancel. go out and see the world. i will meet you on the road. next we are off to ecuador and in the 18th century french scientists thought they had discovered the location of the equator. but they got it wrong. thousands of years earlier the pre—incas were almost able to plot location almost as accurately as a modern—day gps and we find out how they did it. this is the south american nation of ecuador. famed for the wildlife

haven that is the galapagos islands and large swathes of the amazon ra i nfo rest. let's not forget the meaning of ecuador�*s name itself. the equator. and in 1982, to mark its position as the middle of the earth, the ciudad mitad del mundo monument was opened on the site of the imaginary line that divides the northern and southern hemisphere. since then it has attracted hundreds and thousands of visitors. its location was based on a series of expeditions carried out by the french academy of science in the 18th century, known as the french geodesic mission. but since the advent of gps, it has been discovered that the site is actually wrong by 240 metres. this, infact, is where the equator is.

now it may feel wrong to compare technology from the 18th century to what we have in the modern day, but as civilisation known as the quitos, who lived in ecuador even before the incas had already worked out the true location. travel to catequilla above the city of quito and you will find an important pre—incan astronomical observatory, used to learn more about the seasons as well as space.

as the world faces ever—growing problems such as climate change, experts like cristobal believe that this discovery proves that some of the answers we need don't lie with

new discoveries in the future but lay buried in our past.

well, finally this week, a year on from the start of the war in ukraine, it's not only the country's population and infrastructure that has come under bombardment, but also much of its cultural heritage. recently a secret convoy of trucks containing 51 works of art managed to avoid russian shelling and slipped out of ukraine to travel all the way to madrid for safekeeping, and if you're heading to the spanish capital, you can see the collection there until the end of april. here is the story of how it got there. the cultural heritage of ukraine is in danger at the moment. i think the museum is in danger, too, and in a sense the paintings

were ta ken to safety. i hope that they will stay in europe for a long period of time. the national museum of ukraine is situated in the government district of kyiv. it's basically a stone's throw from the cabinet of ministers, which of course is situated very close to the presidential administration, so in case of attack on the government district, the museum will be in very high danger.

the quantity of problems which we faced was unbelievable. museum staff basically barricaded themselves in the cellar, where paintings were removed. literally two months living in this cellar, because they could not go home because public transportation did not work. electricity cuts, air raids, and of course we had many problems organising shipment of this art. as you can imagine, there is no insurance company in the world which is ready to ensure anything moving through ukraine. two trucks reached the polish border. we were already relieved, and in that very moment, a missile exploded

in a polish village. poland immediately closed the border, and that moment everybody thought that it was the beginning of the third world war. we talked to the ukrainians, we talked to poland, and after more than ten hours on the border, both organised passage for these trucks when the border was still closed. and by sheer miracle, the trucks arrived to madrid on time. for us, these works are symbolic, and of course it's a part of their cultural heritage.

it's a part of their identity, and they are extremely happy that they are right now in madrid, in safety. during the opening i was pinching myself to be sure that it's a reality, because it was so difficult to believe that it would happen that, in a sense, for me it was a miracle. let's hope those pieces of art will one day be able to be

enjoyed back in kyiv. well, that's all we've got time for this week. coming up next week: we're off to new york to see how the big apple's legendary nightlife is finally back

with a bang, and also asking just how ethical is it for tourists to go and see agent egyptian mummies in museums thousands of years after they died. these are human bodies, and no—one would accept to have a member of his family displayed in such a manner, where people take selfies. well, that's bound to be a good one, so hope you can catch that next week. and don't forget there is more great travel content on the bbc. the details are at the bottom of your screen now. but in the meantime, from me, carmen roberts, and the rest of the travel show team at hq in london, it's goodbye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. 0ur headlines today: labour reports borisjohnson to the parliamentary standards watchdog over claims that bbc chairman richard sharp helped him secure an £800,000 loan guarantee. a concert featuring global stars, a day of volunteering, and a big lunch — buckingham palace reveals new details for the king's coronation weekend. energy suppliers are urged by the government to stop the practice of moving

vulnerable customers onto more expensive pre—payment meters. it's child's play for ella grace, the miracle four—year—old who was given just a 10% chance of survival when she was born. we weren't sure what to expect when she started school in september, but she is just fantastic. she started school in september, but she isjust fantastic. she she started school in september, but she is just fantastic. she a she started school in september, but she isjust fantastic. she a real incredible little girl. frank lampard says he is determined to fight on and doesn't fear being sacked, despite another defeat for his everton side that leaves them joint bottom of the premier league. and it's another cold day today across southern and eastern parts of england, with some dense fog lingering for some in the north and west. more cloud and gradually turning milder. i'll have all the details here on breakfast. it's sunday 22 january. our main story: labour is calling for an investigation into claims made in the sunday times that the chairman of the bbc helped borisjohnson to secure a loan of £800,000 just weeks before

he was recommended for the position at the corporation by the then prime minister. richard sharp, whose job involves upholding the bbc�*s independence, has denied any conflict of interest. a spokesperson for mrjohnson said he had never sought or received any financial advice from mr sharp. here is our political correspondent helen catt. richard sharp was appointed as the new chair of the bbc in january 2021. he was chosen by the culture secretary and the prime minister, then borisjohnson. the sunday times is claiming that, weeks before, he had helped mrjohnson get access to a loan of up to £800,000 by putting the country's most senior civil servant in touch with a distant relative of the prime minister, who had proposed acting as a guarantor. mr sharp has confirmed he connected the two men, but says there was no conflict because he had no further involvement. the paper says he didn't declare the role he had played during his application for the bbcjob. labour believes mrjohnson should have declared the arrangements on his register of interests.

his party chair, anneliese dodds, has asked the parliamentary watchdog to investigate. in her letter, she said... a spokesman for mrjohnson said... the bbc said it had no role in the recruitment of the chair and any questions were a matter for the government, which has not yet responded to our request for comment. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has more on this for us. the headline on the sunday times is that the bbc boss helped arrange the loan in downing street. different voices have different ideas of what went on. what has labour had to say? well, labourare

went on. what has labour had to say? well, labour are seizing on this, and in particular borisjohnson's role. anneliese dodds, the chair of the labour party, has written to the parliamentary commissioner for standards, as you heard in helen's report, asking for an investigation into whether the former prime minister broke parliamentary rules when he asked somebody to facilitate the guarantee of a loan that he would later appoint to a senior public role. they say that that calls into question the process by which the chairman of the bbc was appointed, and also potentially undermines the democratic process. boris johnson's spokesperson undermines the democratic process. borisjohnson's spokesperson has dismissed this story, saying that he never received or sought financial advice from richard sharp. richard sharp himself, as you have heard, said there was no conflict of interest when he simply connected one individual to another. the bbc say all questions around this are a matterfor say all questions around this are a matter for the government but we are yet to hear from the government itself. �* , . .,

yet to hear from the government itself. �* , _, , itself. and this could strengthen the controversy _ itself. and this could strengthen the controversy around - itself. and this could strengthen the controversy around the - itself. and this could strengthen i the controversy around the former chancellor's tax affairs. he released a statement yesterday but the questions have not gone away. no, they haven't. nadine zahawi released a statement after days of questions. he said he wanted to address some confusion around that. he admitted paying a settlement to hmrc, which he described as a careless and not deliberate offer, but there are still questions, as you say. he didn't address the size of that settlement and how much money he paid to hmrc, whether it included any penalty as well, and it is still not quite clear what was happening while nadhim zahawi was chancellor under borisjohnson. at the time, of course, he was overseeing the whole of the uk's tax revenue system. so questions are still for him, and also for the prime minister, rishi sunak. this was resolved, nadhim zahawi said, before he served under rishi sunak

as prime minister, but how much did he know and will he respond to labour's continued calls for the prime minister to sack mr zahawi as chairman of the conservative party? those questions won't go away anytime soon. thank you. the business secretary has written to energy suppliers to demand they stop forcing households onto more expensive prepayment meters. grant shapps said suppliers should instead offer more support to customers who are struggling to pay their bills. under 0fgem rules, forced switching to prepayment must only ever be a last resort. helena wilkinson reports. prepayment metres are supposed to help those struggling to stay on top of their energy use, but the rates are higher, and when there is no money to top them up, customers can be left in the cold and dark. thea;r be left in the cold and dark. they cut me off _ be left in the cold and dark. they cut me off for— be left in the cold and dark. they cut me off for being _ be left in the cold and dark. t'te: cut me off for being 33p be left in the cold and dark. tte: cut me off for being 33pjust be left in the cold and dark. tterg cut me off for being 33p just over. it is like it is never going to end. there is not a light at the end of the tunnel— there is not a light at the end of the tunnel forjust anybody, and it

suppliers now to step up and stop this harmful practice. if they don't, the government and the regulator must step in with stronger action. we would also like to see more protections for people who are already on prepayment metres and struggling to keep them topped up. the government is calling on energy suppliers to keep their focus on supporting customers and move away from force fitting prepayment metres. the uk steel industry, which supports thousands ofjobs, is a whisker away from collapse according to the unite union. the union has written to the business secretary calling for an urgent meeting after accusing the government of taking little action to support the sector. the government said the success of the steel industry is a priority. investigators have seized more classified documents from presidentjoe biden's home in the us state of delaware. the files were found in a search of the property by officials from the justice department. an investigator is already looking into the president's use of government records after similar documents

were discovered earlier this month. the white house says it is continuing to co—operate. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, has attended a memorial service for the country's former interior minister and six other officials who were killed in a helicopter crash earlier this week. the helicopter crashed onto a nursery in the outskirts of kyiv on wednesday. seven people including one child were also killed. officials are still investigating the cause of the crash. massive demonstrations have been held in israel against plans of the new right—wing government to overhaul the judicial system and limit the power ofjudges. there were more than 100,000 protesters in tel aviv. it was the largest demonstration since benjamin netanyahu's return to power last month. the protesters say that plans to limit the powers of the judiciary are a direct attack on democracy. millions of people around the world are welcoming in the year of the rabbit as the chinese new year celebrations begin. the event kicks off

a 15—day festival, and it's the first time since the pandemic began that it has been held without any travel restrictions in china, as michael bristow reports. there is excitement and relief as china begins celebrating its first lunar new year since the lifting of covid restrictions. not surprisingly, there are more travellers than last year. there are expected to be 2 billion individualjourneys in china over the whole holiday, although that is still fewer than before the outbreak began. for some, it is their first get—together since the start of the pandemic. translation: i'm very happy to see my son and his family. | this is ourfirst reunion in three years. but covid is casting a shadow over the new year. many are still cautious about travelling. people fear they could be taking disease home with them. translation: although we've opened

up, i still have concerns. _ everyone needs to take measures to protect themselves, and for parents and the elderly who haven't got covid yet, we still need to be careful for them. in a new year address, china's leader, xijinping, promised glories and dreams in the upcoming year of the rabbit. in perhaps a veiled reference to china's current covid crisis, he said this passing year's achievements have not come easy. chinese officials are trying to convince the public that the worst is over, but there are fears that such a huge movement of people across china over the lunar new year could fuel further covid infections and deaths. michael bristow, bbc news. more details about the king's coronation have been released by buckingham palace, and they include plans to hold a concert with world—famous entertainers. the concert will also feature a choir made up of nhs workers, refugees and lgbt singing groups.

the coronation will be held across the first weekend in may, as our royal correspondent nick witchell reports. fanfare it will be 70 years since the nation last witnessed the coronation of a british monarch. that was in 1953, and the monarch travelling in the gold coronation coach was of course the late queen elizabeth. once again, for the coronation of king charles iii, there will be a procession from buckingham palace to westminster abbey. no route has so far been disclosed, but common sense suggests that it will be down the mall to trafalgar square and then via whitehall to the abbey. there will be a second, larger procession after the service, which will take the newly crowned king and queen consort back to the palace, where they will appear on the palace balcony, the first such appearance since last year's platinum jubilee of the late queen. no details of the coronation

service have been given. they're still under review, but here are the highlights for the rest of the coronation weekend. on sunday 7 may there will be the coronation big lunch, an opportunity, as happened during the jubilee, for communities to organise their own street parties. then, that evening at windsor castle, there will be a special coronation concert produced and broadcast live by the bbc. once again it will echo the jubilee. according to the palace, it will bring together global music icons and contemporary stars. there will also be an appearance by the coronation choir, drawn from community choirs across the uk. there will be a national ballot for tickets, to be organised by the bbc. on monday 8 may, a public holiday, there will be something called the big help out, a day when people across the uk will be encouraged to volunteer and join groups like the scouts or the royal voluntary service in support of their local communities. overall, the palace says the king and queen consort hope the coronation weekend will give

people an opportunity to celebrate with families, friends and their local communities, here in britain and across the commonwealth. nicholas witchell, bbc news. royal historian kate williams joins us now from north london. good to see you. thank you for taking the time, as always, to talk to us on bbc breakfast. a lot of talk about the coronation ceremony itself and whether or not it will be different from previous ones. we don't know an awful lot about how that will work, yet, do we? yes. that will work, yet, do we? yes, roeer, that will work, yet, do we? yes, roger. we _ that will work, yet, do we? yes, roger. we have _ that will work, yet, do we? yes, roger, we have a _ that will work, yet, do we? yes, roger, we have a lot _ that will work, yet, do we? yes, roger, we have a lot of - that will work, yet, do we? yes, roger, we have a lot of details l roger, we have a lot of details now about what is going to happen over the weekend, the concert with coronation choir, the big lunch, but we don't know much about the ceremony itself. there hasn't been any detail about the events, for the queen it was an hour to three hours, but we don't know whether the archbishop of canterbury is going to connect it and exactly what is going

to happen. we don't know what crowns are going to be one, and we don't know what charles himself is going to wear, but what was clear about the information that was put out, there was talk about the procession, and there is going to be a procession to westminster abbey, and charles has said, or sources have said that charles does want the pageantry, he does want the pond, he still wants it to be a big coronation in the way that his mother's was, in the way that his grandfather's was —— pomp. we don't know exactly what is going to happen in the service, but it certainly seems as if it is going to be a very grand procession. fiend seems as if it is going to be a very grand procession.— grand procession. and what we do know, as grand procession. and what we do know. as well. — grand procession. and what we do know, as well, is _ grand procession. and what we do know, as well, is that _ grand procession. and what we do know, as well, is that the - grand procession. and what we do know, as well, is that the queen i know, as well, is that the queen consort will be crowned at the same time as king charles. will see then become queen, or will she remain queen consort, or is that something we don't know? that is very significant because think about five years ago or so, the palace's official line was that she would be princess consort and

wouldn't be crown. now it has been made clear she is having a central role in proceedings and this will be going right back to the coronation in 1937 of george vi and queen elizabeth, the queen mother, because when queen elizabeth ii was crowned, prince philip was not crowned with her, but saw his loyalty as a subject. camilla will have a central role in proceedings. it will be her and the king that have their own cunning ceremony. even instagram posts from the royal family have the king and queen together, and i think that will be the case, after the coronation, she will become — her term, hertitle, coronation, she will become — her term, her title, will be queen camilla. it is clear that charles wanted to be a joint coronation in that sense and that she have a significant role. when it comes to the queen consort, one big question is which crown will she wear? the current one, worn currently by queen

consorts, which bears indictment thatis consorts, which bears indictment that is controversial because many countries want to back. i don't think you aware that, but we don't know what they will be wearing. th know what they will be wearing. in terms of the numbers at the coronation ceremony, it will be smaller than that for queen elizabeth ii? smaller than that for queen elizabeth m?— smaller than that for queen elizabeth ii?— smaller than that for queen elizabeth ii? , ,, ., , elizabeth ii? yes, queen elizabeth ii had 'ust elizabeth ii? yes, queen elizabeth ii had just over _ elizabeth ii? yes, queen elizabeth ii had just over a _ elizabeth ii? yes, queen elizabeth ii had just over a dozen _ elizabeth ii? yes, queen elizabeth ii had just over a dozen people - ii had just over a dozen people crammed into westminster abbey. that is a big place but that is a lot of people. they build extra seating. that is impossible now. it is contravening health and safety. we are expecting about 2000. the guestlist has to be smaller than it was for queen elizabeth ii. and i think we will see an ordering of the guestlist is similar to that we saw for the passing of the queen with commonwealth leaders at the front and then other world leaders behind and then other world leaders behind and royalty part of that. i think the focus will be on world leaders,

on foreign royals, then i think apart from some politicians and dignitaries, and people that want to honour from the british community and commonwealth, and i don't think i'll be space for anyone else. the, i'll be space for anyone else. a final thought on the wider things that are going to go on, the concert, the street parties, then the day of volunteering on the bank holiday. are those — i don't remember 1953 — i know you went around, either, but the street parties and all that kind of thing, i remember the silverjubilee in 77, did that all originate then and is something that came along during queen elizabeth ii's rain or not? doesn't have historical precedent? we see the street parties going right back to — there are great photos of street parties the george v and george vi. but they really take off on a huge scale for queen elizabeth ii. for one reason in particular because everyone was keen

to have a party after world war ii, and many areas were still under rationing for that coronation ceremony. it was still hard to get a lot of items. so people were ingenious about what they served. so that really is when it really soared. the eden project they have organised, the focus is on sharing and you don't have to have a huge tv, you can have a small tea with your neighbours in the community. so let's have a great day and no rain, because we have had a few large lunches and ceremonies which have been wronged by the weather. fingers crossed that is good weather because i think there are plans for international and national celebrations.— international and national celebrations. ., , . celebrations. thank you very much indeed. lovely _ celebrations. thank you very much indeed. lovely to _ celebrations. thank you very much indeed. lovely to speak _ celebrations. thank you very much indeed. lovely to speak to - celebrations. thank you very much indeed. lovely to speak to you. i celebrations. thank you very much indeed. lovely to speak to you. do you think we should get an accurate weather forecast for the first weekend of may? do you have any ideas, that? latte for the first weekend of may? do you have any ideas, that?— have any ideas, that? we have another mystery _ have any ideas, that? we have another mystery bridge, i have any ideas, that? we have another mystery bridge, don't| have any ideas, that? we have i

we are an energy intensive business and we need the support that energy intensive industries are getting. the government says support will be given through its energy bills discount scheme, but many of the arcade business don't believe it is sufficient. money going in simply not balancing the money going out. piers hopkirk, bbc news. they are my favourite, the 2p slots. that looks good. never go to the sport. we talk about frank lampard. we are again talking about frank lampard — we are again talking about frank lampard and everton losing. nobody in all of— lampard and everton losing. nobody in all of english football across the legs— in all of english football across the legs is having a worse run of form _ the legs is having a worse run of form than — the legs is having a worse run of form than everton. they haven't won since _ form than everton. they haven't won since october. beaten again yesterday, this time 2—0. a huge win for west— yesterday, this time 2—0. a huge win for west ham, also fighting for survivat — for west ham, also fighting for survival. for everton, they remain joint _ survival. for everton, they remain joint bottom — survival. for everton, they remain joint bottom of the premier league after that— joint bottom of the premier league after that to happen zero loss at

this is what elon musk claims is the future of transport, so we're here in las vegas to check it out. the station looks like a cross between a taxi rank and a subway. i've never been here before, and it's very pleasant. it kind of feels quite cool. but the most obvious thing that you notice is that there aren't fumes here, and you kind of realise, first off, that this would absolutely not be possible without electric cars. but this isn't quite what elon musk had envisaged when he created the boring company. elon musk�*s initial idea was incredibly ambitious, that people in teslas would be transported into this huge network of tunnels and they'd be transported at more than 100mph using its autonomous features. this emphatically isn't that.

however, even though this is pretty far away from what elon musk said he wanted to create, many people at ces loved it. excuse me, madam. i'm from the bbc. we're just asking people what they thought about the loop just now. i love it. you loved it? it's really cool. how much would you give it out of ten? ah, ten. well, not quite everyone. it'sjust like the classic meme of, like, oh, let's reduce- the number of drivers i by linking them together and make it more efficient. by putting it on a steel wheel and bubble loading platforms, and they're just - reinventing the subway. there's also a much more fundamental question, which is — is this actually a good idea? if you look at the number of teslas here that are all being driven by expensive humans, it kind of begs the question — why notjust use a train? we didn't want to just be able to move people around our campus in an efficient way. we wanted them to kind of have a smile on their face at the end of the day, and so when you see the lights in the tunnel and the energy of the music,

there's a big love for teslas that really came together in an exciting way. and to be fair, this kind of does work, at least for a las vegas convention centre. it's fun and a bit different. but is this really going to revolutionise transport? the boring company had announced projects in la and baltimore and washington. however, these projects appear to have disappeared from the company's website. over ces, the boring company claimed nearly 100,000 people used the loop. that's a lot. and there's hope the cars will soon be autonomous too. however, its real test will be in the years to come. can it go from a gimmicky convention centre ride to a genuine travel game changer? many will be watching here in las vegas to see whether this is yet more elon musk hype or something genuinely important. and when it comes to elon musk, it's often hard to tell which that is. lara: back in vegas, i

we've been checking out some of the sports tech on show at ces. spencer: let me tell you about the time i ended up making a complete fool of myself on frank sinatra's golf course. mind you, it all started indoors. this is phigolf, an app and accompanying weird club ball hybrid thing that certainly does have about the right weight. the sensors in the ball tell the app how far your shot would have gone, and the app allows you to play online with friends wherever they are in the world. oh, there we go. straight down the green. more immersive is golfplus, a vr game that turns your controller into the club. i like the way my controller really does feel like a club. as i tap it on the ground, i can feel the controller vibrating.

nice touch. once you've got the hang of it, you can play on replicas of golf courses around the world. i tell you, this vr lark really is getting quite realistic. it's pretty immersive and it does feel like i'm kind of on a golf course, but i think it's time to try it for real. it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing, as ella fitzgerald once said. not sure how much she knew about golf, but it was certainly more than me. talking of swing, i'm going to get mine assessed. erick schlimmer is a pga apprentice and stanford golf instructor, and he's been helping to test a new online golf tuition service called golfhow. the app uploads videos of your swing to the cloud, where software analyses it and sends suggestions on changes to your posture. it'll have its work cut out with me, because i've never played a round in my life. not bad.

it moved. so...let�*s have a look. "keep your back straight and tilt straight forwards." there's a model of the perfect swing and that is broken down into pieces all over the body. so itjust kind of overlays you on that perfect model. is the perfect swing the same for everyone, regardless of how they're built? there are no two swings that are the same. right. it's like a fingerprint. now, you may have seen all sorts of cool graphics and shot analyses turning up on tv coverage of your favourite sports and that expertise is now being used to help amateur players too. this app is called golfboy. what you do is point the iphone straight down at the green, it will auto—detect the ball and then what's really clever is thatjust by looking straight down, it can have a good guess at how far the ball is going to go and how high.

now, that wasn't bad. the app takes 240 photos per second and uses them to give you your estimated stats. 0k, look, i'm nota golfer, so i think i'm going to leave this rather chilly course and go for a different kind of drive, one that leads to the 19th hole. lara: it's that time of year when many of us want to get in shape, and i prance about testing some of the latest fitness gadgets. this is the i—percut, a smart punchbag cover, which you can put over any punch bag. at the moment, i'm in free mode, which means that i can decide what i want to hit. but you can also set it to guided mode where it'll light up in each of the sensors

and make sure that you're hitting in the right spot. having to see through the full workout and competing against yourself did feel more motivating than just punching at random. but it is harder work than it looks, even doing it like this. i'm a bit slow with this. i'd be in terrible trouble if there was a person punching. and as with any activity tracking, you can be surprised by its findings. bit exhausting, really. but i'm done for now. i'm looking at the data and there's some surprising news here. generally very weak, not very skilled — but apparently with my knees, i was pretty strong and i thought i was doing much better with the upper body. but it's my lower body that i was much stronger at. i was particularly weak at the top, although i did keep going and i think the stamina element is also quite important. so it's notjust about how hard you hit, honestly. here's another for the reflexes. blazepod is a workout for the mind and body that's shifting from use by professional athletes

and coaches to any of us. the idea is that these pods light up different colours and you've got to move quickly from one to another as they light up, each one assigned for a different exercise. now, you set it all through the app. there's loads of different workouts you can plan and then you just tap your foot on here to get started. 0k, green is starjump. red is... what was red? red was...push—ups! now for another workout, i have to tap each one as it lights up at speed. this involves less thought, but more needing to move fast and hit it properly. a bit stressful. reminds me of that dance game i used to play. there are also

multiple player options and the system is recommended for rehab, where testing memory and reaction times can be pivotal for recovery. 0h! please tell me this is over. after all of that, i think i deserve a break. so now i'm testing a breathing coach. oxa is this device which comes attached to a loungewear bra and connects to an app. i'm wearing one now and it's going to monitor how calm i am, my breathing rate and my heart rate. the aim is that overall it makes you feel less stressed and sleep better. but right now, it's time for some meditation. i could go to sleep, but i don't think i'm meant to. of course the whole idea of meditation is that you've got to keep doing it. um, let's see. my journey to calmness.

it's worked! i've become calmer since i've been doing it. my score has gone up from 66 to 72. my average calmness is that i'm relaxed. she sighs 0k, every time i test any stress—related device, it tends to indicate that if i was any calmer, i'd be dead. but at least there was some change here. and if i want to get all worked up again, well, i definitely know how to do that too. oh, the push—ups, they're the worst ones. groans tell you what, i wouldn't mess with you after watching you box. mm, the kicks were a bit clumsy, though, but it was a workout and it was fun. it depends on your definition of fun, i suppose. anyway, that's it from us, from las vegas. thanks for watching. we'll be back next week. see you.

with rare genetic disorders. frank lampard says he's determined to fight on, and doesn't fear being sacked — despite another defeat for his everton side that leaves them joint bottom of the premier league. it's sunday the 22nd january. our main story... labour is calling for an investigation into claims made in the sunday times that the chairman of the bbc helped borisjohnson to secure a loan of £800,000 just weeks before he was recommended for the position at the corporation by the then prime minister. richard sharp, whosejob involves upholding the bbc�*s independence, has denied any conflict of interest. a spokesperson for mrjohnson said he had never sought or received any financial advice from mr sharp. here's our political correspondent, helen catt.

richard sharp was appointed as the new chair of the bbc in january 2021. he was chosen by the culture secretary and the prime minister — then borisjohnson. the sunday times is claiming that, weeks before, he had helped mrjohnson get access to a loan of up to £800,000 by putting the country's most senior civil servant in touch with a distant relative of the prime minister, who had proposed acting as a guarantor. mr sharp has confirmed he connected the two men, but says there was no conflict because he had no further involvement. the paper says he didn't declare the role he'd played during his application for the bbcjob. labour believes mrjohnson should have declared the arrangements on his register of interests. its party chair, anneliese dodds, has asked a parliamentary watchdog to investigate. in her letter, she said that a lack of transparency may give the impression that this was a quid—pro—quo arrangement — something which would undermine the integrity of the democratic process, and calls into question the process by which the chairman

of the bbc was appointed. a spokesman for mrjohnson said... the bbc said it had no role in the recruitment of the chair, and any questions were a matter for the government — which has not yet responded to our request for comment. helen catt, bbc news. our political correspondent jonathan blake has more on this. tell us more about labour reporting borisjohnson. tell us more about labour reporting boris johnson-— boris johnson. yes, labour are askin: boris johnson. yes, labour are asking for _ boris johnson. yes, labour are asking for an — boris johnson. yes, labour are asking for an investigation - boris johnson. yes, labour are | asking for an investigation from boris johnson. yes, labour are - asking for an investigation from the parliamentary commissioner of standards are saying that boris johnson may have breached the rules. as you head there in the report. by engaging in discussions about financial arrangements with somebody he later appointed to a public role. labour claimed that potentially undermines the democratic process and also calls into question the process by which the chairman of the

bbc, richard sharp, was appointed. we have also heard from the shadow culture secretary, lucy powell, of labour, who has called into question the impact of all this on the bbc, saying it derives its public trust from its independence and impartiality, which she says is something we hear a lot about from the government regarding the bbc, and allegations like this put that at risk. now, borisjohnson's spokesperson has dismissed the story, saying he has never sought or received financial advice from richard sharp, and richard sharp himself has said there is no conflict of interest here stop he simply connected two individuals. there are questions for the government, still, but they are yet to respond to our request for comment. in to respond to our request for comment-— to respond to our request for comment. , comment. in the next few minutes we are auoin comment. in the next few minutes we are going to — comment. in the next few minutes we are going to talk— comment. in the next few minutes we are going to talk to _ comment. in the next few minutes we are going to talk to a _ comment. in the next few minutes we are going to talk to a tax _ comment. in the next few minutes we are going to talk to a tax lawyer- are going to talk to a tax lawyer who has done the digging around nadhim zahawi's tax affairs, that controversy continues. nadhim zahawi has released a statement. the statement _ has released a statement. the

the concert will also feature a choir made up of nhs workers, refugees and lgbt singing groups. the coronation will be held across the first weekend in may, as our royal correspondent nick witchell reports. it will be 70 years since the nation last witnessed the coronation of a british monarch — that was in 1953, and the monarch travelling in the gold coronation coach was, of course, the late queen elizabeth. once again, for the coronation of king charles iii, there'll be a procession from buckingham palace to westminster abbey. no route has so far been disclosed, but common sense suggests that it will be down the mall to trafalgar square, and then via whitehall to the abbey. there'll be a second, larger procession after the service, which will take the newly crowned king and queen consort back to the palace, where they'll appear on the palace balcony — the first such appearance since last year's platinum jubilee of the late queen. no details of the coronation service have been given — they're still under review,

— but here are the highlights for the rest of the coronation weekend. on sunday 7th of may, there'll be the coronation big lunch — an opportunity, as happened during thejubilee, for communities to organise their own street parties. then, that evening at windsor castle, there'll be a special coronation concert produced and broadcast live by the bbc. once again it will echo the jubilee. according to the palace, it will bring together global music icons and contemporary stars. there'll also be an appearance by the coronation choir, drawn from community choirs across the uk. there'll be a national ballot for tickets, to be organised by the bbc. on monday the 8th of may — a public holiday — there'll be something called the big help out — a day when people across the uk will be encouraged to volunteer and join groups like the scouts or the royal voluntary service in support of their local communities. overall, the palace says the king and queen consort hope the coronation weekend will give people an opportunity

to celebrate with families, friends and their local communities here in britain and across the commonwealth. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the business secretary has written to energy suppliers to demand they stop forcing households onto more expensive prepayment meters. grant shapps said suppliers should instead offer more support to customers who are struggling to pay their bills. under 0fgem rules forced switching to prepayment must only ever be a last resort. helena wilkinson reports. prepayment meters are supposed to help those struggling stay on top of their energy use, but the rates are higher — and when there's no money to top them up, customers can be left in the cold and dark. they cut me off for being 33p just over. it's like it's never going to end. there's not a light at the end of the tunnel for anybody. and it'sjust... it is just absolutely diabolical that we should have to live like this.

there are many cases where people have been forced onto prepayment meters. the business secretary, grant shapps, has today described the practice as harmful, and says it must stop. he's written to energy suppliers, asking them to voluntarily commit to stop forcing customers onto prepayment meters. he wants them to make greater efforts to help customers who have difficulty paying, and he's asked suppliers to provide the number of warrants they've applied for in recent months, which are needed to enter your home and physically install a prepayment meter. the charity citizens advice estimates that 3.2 million people in britain ran out of credit on their prepayment meter last year — the equivalent of one every ten seconds. we've seen some really strong words from the government, which is welcome. it's time for energy suppliers now to step up and stop this harmful practice.

if they don't, the government and the regulator must step in with stronger action. we'd also like to see more protections for people who are already on prepayment meters and struggling to keep them topped up. the government is calling on energy suppliers to keep their focus on supporting customers, and move away from force—fitting prepayment meters. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the uk steel industry, which supports thousands ofjobs, is "a whisker away from collapse" according to the unite union. the union has written to the business secretary calling for an urgent meeting after accusing the government of taking little action to support the sector. the government said the success of the steel industry is a priority. investigators have seized more classified documents from presidentjoe biden's home in the us state of delaware. the files were found in a search of the property by officials from thejustice department. an investigator is already looking

into the president's use of government records, after similar documents were discovered earlier this month. the white house says it's continuing to cooperate. the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has attended a memorial service for the country's former interior minister and six other officials who were killed in a helicopter crash earlier this week. the helicopter crashed onto a nursery in the outskirts of kyiv on wednesday — seven people, including one child, were also killed. officials are still investigating the cause of the crash. large demonstrations have been held in israel against plans of the new right—wing government to overhaul the judicial system and limit the power ofjudges. there were more than 100,000 protesters in tel aviv. it was the largest demonstration since benjamin netanyahu's return to power last month. the protesters say that plans to limit the powers of the judiciary are a direct attack on democracy. iam not i am not sure whether you have

eight to the far north and west. another day of contrasts on monday. high pressure keeping things cold across the south, and dry, but around the northern edge we get winds off the atlantic, which is why we see that mild air across the north of the uk had not the south. for monday, plenty of cloud again, scotland and northern ireland and around the irish sea coast, some light rain and drizzle, some will be dry but brighter breaks in the north—east of scotland and the north coast of northern ireland. a few dense patches of fog across central parts of england again but developing widely to the west midlands and eastern wales, but through the afternoon we could see more cloud return to the south east corner where it will be another cold day. another cold, frosty night into tuesday across the cell. more atlantic weather fronts getting to the north and a breeze picking up in scotland. a bit of rain through the day but during the night things turn wetter. in eastern scotland, more developing through england and wales with the exception being east anglia and the south—east, where it will be grey and cold for some, but even with the sunshine, only 4 or 5

degrees the height for most in the north—east of scotland could get to around 14 degrees. things even out through the second half of the week, pushing southwards through wednesday, hit and miss, the rain. some stain completely dry. drier towards the end of the week but with a bit more sunshine around and temperatures closer to the seasonal average. that is how it is temperatures closer to the seasonal average. that is how it is looking. thank you. we are enjoying the spooky bridge collection. keep them coming. it is 15 minutes past eight. the prime minister has expressed confidence in the conservative party chairman, nadhim zahawi, after he admitted an error in his tax affairs. mr zahawi said hmrc accepted an error he had made concerning shares in the survey company, yougov, which he set up more than 20 years ago. we'rejoined now by dan neidle, who is a labour—supporting tax lawyer and co—founder of the think tank tax policy associates, who also carried out an investigation into mr zahawi's tax affairs.

thank you forjoining us this morning. thank you for 'oining us this morning.— thank you for 'oining us this mornin.. :, , ,:, thank you for 'oining us this mornin.. :, :, morning. can i say something about the labour supporting _ morning. can i say something about the labour supporting think? - morning. can i say something about the labour supporting think? the i the labour supporting think? the work i do is nonpartisan. in 2019! was very critical of the labour party's was very critical of the labour pa rty�*s attacks was very critical of the labour party's attacks policies. they briefed i was the tories' favourite lawyer and i have said that rishi sunak, jacob rees—mogg and jeremy hunt, i have replied to accusations and said they didn't. i want to kick out of the park the idea that i am some kind of partisan, which i know has been briefed that i am but evidence shows and anyone who knows my stuff knows i am not. let’s evidence shows and anyone who knows my stuff knows i am not.— my stuff knows i am not. let's delve into the investigation _ my stuff knows i am not. let's delve into the investigation because - into the investigation because people at home will be scratching their heads around the tax affairs. let's speak hypothetically. a successful business is established. shares from that business are placed in a gibraltar business, links to a trust overseen by the parents of the founder of the business. at what

point by hmrc as perception is a line across to? the point by hmrc as perception is a line across to?— line across to? the statement is very carefully — line across to? the statement is very carefully worded _ line across to? the statement is very carefully worded and - line across to? the statement is very carefully worded and gives| line across to? the statement is i very carefully worded and gives the impression it is all very complicated tax and to do with stuff that happened 22 years ago. but it wasn't. we know from the fact that he paid apparently about 5 million tax and penalties, we know that the thing that gave rise to the tax, the taxable event, was much more recent. i have spoken to lots of various experienced tax expert and we reckon what happened as he received about £27 million fairly recently, probably in 2017, 2018, most of it, and did not declare it to hmrc. and we think from the fact he has been charged, if reports are correct, a 30% penalty, we think he received the 27 million, did not take advice from anyone, and did not declare it to hmrc. forget the collocated tax.

the question is, does anyone running a business or anyone personally, do they think they would receive a sum of money that large. he is wealthy but it is a quarter of his assets. not that large. but getting advice and not telling hmrc? his not that large. but getting advice and not telling hmrc?— not that large. but getting advice and not telling hmrc? his point is that this was _ and not telling hmrc? his point is that this was not _ and not telling hmrc? his point is that this was not done _ and not telling hmrc? his point is. that this was not done deliberately. his statement yesterday, following discussions with hmrc, they agreed my father was entitled to the founder shares in you golf although they disagreed about the exact allocation. they concluded that this was a careless but not deliberate eric —— yougov. this comes down to intent. how is that proved? hf it intent. how is that proved? if it wasn't intent. how is that proved? tuf it wasn't deliberate that would make this criminal tax evasion. careless has a very specific meaning. careless you are notjust wrong. you are allowed to get your tax round, it is complicated. i acted all the time as a lawyer for people and businesses who disagreed with hmrc about some of the tax they paid.

some were right and some were wrong. they did not pay a 30% penalty. it works like this. you or i, as long as we instruct a proper adviser, we give that advice at the right information, follow the advice from them, and we check the final tax return to the best we are able to. as long as we do that, even if it was completely wrong, if our advisers were clowns, idiots, we will not pay penalties. to pay a 30% penalty, you didn't do one or more of those things, and in this case, the thing that fits the facts is that i think he did not instruct our advisers. i think he just received 27 million, didn't speak to advisers, didn't report it. but arain, advisers, didn't report it. but again. he _ advisers, didn't report it. but again. he has— advisers, didn't report it. but again, he has not performed due diligence, one would think, as a businessman, as somebody who is receiving that amount of money, but his claim and what the statement saysis his claim and what the statement says is that he didn't do it on purpose and that 30% in hmrc terms is a category of carelessness rather

than deliberate.— is a category of carelessness rather than deliberate. yeah. so, we don't know whether _ than deliberate. yeah. so, we don't know whether hmrc _ than deliberate. yeah. so, we don't know whether hmrc immediately . know whether hmrc immediately accepted it was careless or whether there was a long process where they concluded it was not deliberate, that it was careless. you and i will almost certainly never know, unless we are able to read his mind or some smoking gun document appears, we will never know for sure what his intent was. everyone watching this canjudge for intent was. everyone watching this can judge for themselves how plausible it is that he received 27 million, to put it in relative terms, received a payment that is a quarter of your assets, you don't instruct advisers, you don't tell hmrc, you don't pay the tax. and if you do that by complete accident, yes, it is careless, you don't go to jail. how plausible do you think that is? and what do you think should be the consequences if someone did that by accident because

they are careless? should that person then deny that anything is wrong, so people who say there is something wrong, and he threatened to sue me. keep denying it. the last sunday the sun, he told them he never had lawyers negotiate with hmrc on his behalf. yesterday he said he had accountants negotiate with hmrc on his behalf. what do people think about that statement, that he never had lawyers negotiate with hmrc on his behalf? how honest is it to say that when he knew he did have people negotiating with hmrc, they were just not lawyers? the bottom line does chemical you can see i am outraged by this because i am a believer in the british because i am a believer in the britis ,,, because i am a believer in the britis , british political system. rishi sunak is a — british political system. rishi sunak is a smart _ british political system. rishi sunak is a smart man, i british political system. rishi sunak is a smart man, and i l british political system. rishi i sunak is a smart man, and i cannot believe... , , sunak is a smart man, and i cannot believe- - -— believe... presumably you are a believer in _ believe... presumably you are a believer in hmrc _ believe... presumably you are a believer in hmrc and _ believe... presumably you are a believer in hmrc and it - believe... presumably you are a believer in hmrc and it is i believe... presumably you are a believer in hmrc and it is for i believe... presumably you are a i believer in hmrc and it is for them to look at what has happened and for them to decide whether this is a

not draw a line under it at that point? not draw a line under it at that oint? ~ , , not draw a line under it at that oint? : , , 4' point? well, it depends. do we think it is ok for someone, _ point? well, it depends. do we think it is ok for someone, a _ point? well, it depends. do we think it is ok for someone, a senior- it is ok for someone, a senior politician, to try to sue people reporting he has not paid tax, denied he hasn't paid his tax, and then secretly run off to do a deal with hmrc, keep denying it while he is doing the deal, keep denying it after the deal, and then finally issue a half baked admission long after he has been caught? do people think that is fine? if you think thatis think that is fine? if you think that is fine, do you think it is right we should have a senior politician who is so careless that they received 27 million quid, don't get advice and don't report it to hmrc? is that... is that a degree of carelessness is something we want to see in a senior politician? even if what he says is true and it was not deliberate. what he says is true and it was not deliberate-— deliberate. dan neidle, he has conducted _ deliberate. dan neidle, he has conducted a — deliberate. dan neidle, he has conducted a big _ deliberate. dan neidle, he has conducted a big investigation i deliberate. dan neidle, he has i conducted a big investigation into the tax affairs of nadhim zahawi

which you can find online. thank you for your time is money. to repeat to you this morning the statement from nadhim zahawi. following discussions with hmrc, they agreed that my father was entitled to found it shares in a yougov, that they disagreed about the exact allocation, they concluded it was a callous was not deliberate error so i could focus on my life as a public servant i chose to settle the matter and pay what they said was due. he says that was the right thing to do. we are going to talk about emerging of hollywood and medicine. —— a merging of hollywood and medicine. we're used to seeing impressive special effects in some of hollywood's biggest blockbusters, but what if the technology could also be used to benefit our health? scientists have adapted the motion capture suits used in the film avatar to make the actors look like aliens, to track the progress of diseases in patients and help speed up the development

of new drugs. here's our science correspondent, pallab ghosh. it's very exciting. mm—hm. and you can see all the data's is coming in and being processed here by the ai. but why don't you try to shake hands with yourself? yanita is wearing a suit that records every one of her movements. there you are, it's slightly delayed... there is your hand. she has a rare genetic disorder that makes it progressively harder for her to move as she gets older. sensors on her suit send the data to a computer, which assesses how the disease is progressing. i'm very excited. i mean, it looks very futuristic. ifeel a bit like a robot. i think it will be amazing to be able to just put that on, even at home, and just be able to see your progression and how things are changing. the suit is professor aldo faisal�*s idea. his research shows that it can assess the severity of the disease in half the time a doctor could. so we've developed a technology, an ai, that analyses human movement and understands it better than any doctor, but can also look at a patient on a 24/7 basis like no other doctor can. the benefit is that we can

diagnose patients precisely, and monitor their progression in an unprecedented way. this family is our fortress... the idea was inspired by the motion—capture suits used in the film avatar to make actors look like aliens. hello. can i get a chicken katsu, please? in medical research, it can track a patient doing everyday things. sway in her upper body. now she is sitting down at the table... doctors can get much more reliable information than they can from test in the clinic. and he is now much more stable. the new technology has the potential to develop new drugs much more quickly and cheaply. currently, to test out an experiment or treatment, it needs to be tried out on at least 100 patients for around two years. because the new system is much more accurate, only 15 patients are needed, for around six months. the motion—capture suit has also been able to predict the development

of duchenne muscular dystrophy in children much more accurately than ever before. i believe that this new system will enable drug development to be accelerated, and novel therapies to reach patients much faster. so this will be a game—changer for drug development. the researchers say in the journal nature medicine that the new system could be used to test out the effectiveness of new drugs for any condition that affects movement — such as stroke, parkinson's, and heart disease, and could one day help patients such as yanita. pallab ghosh, bbc news. we love it when trying on one of those motion suits, and with us here is professor richard festenstein,

at the australian open tennis, more surprises this morning with the women's world number one iga swiatek knocked out. it's been an extraordinary week in melbourne with many of the top seeds falling. one of the biggest stories has been andy murray, metal hip and all, fighting his way to the third round. eventually beaten by roberto bautista agut but he says he has more to give. former british number one annabel croft is here. thank you for being with us this morning. thank you for being with us this morninu. ,:, :, thank you for being with us this mornin. _ ,:, :, :, thank you for being with us this morning-_ we i thank you for being with us this l morning._ we have thank you for being with us this - morning._ we have to morning. good morning. we have to talk about andy _ morning. good morning. we have to talk about andy murray, _ morning. good morning. we have to talk about andy murray, a _ morning. good morning. we have to talk about andy murray, a player- talk about andy murray, a player that had been written off. four years ago effectively retired at the australian open, but he has been the story of the week. three incredible performances, yes, beaten in the end, but how would you sum up his performance? how did he pull off what was almost heroic and almost transcended the sport with the attention it got?— transcended the sport with the attention it got? yes, he has been an absolute _ attention it got? yes, he has been an absolute warrior—

attention it got? yes, he has been an absolute warrior out _ attention it got? yes, he has been an absolute warrior out on - attention it got? yes, he has been an absolute warrior out on the - an absolute warrior out on the courts this week, and he really has stolen all of the attention and the stories. nobody ever predicted this, when we remember that press conference a few years ago when he was in tears, saying he thought this was in tears, saying he thought this was the end. then he had that sort of ceremony out on court with all the players are saying goodbye to him. and he is, playing almost as good tennis as we have seen in his career. some of the shotmaking, the guile that he brings onto the court, the court craft, it is just mesmerising when you watch him. i'm not surprised he has come off court obviously bitterly disappointed that his body kind of ran out of steam a little bit, butl his body kind of ran out of steam a little bit, but i think it is some of the best tennis we have seen for a number of years. you know, ithink it does feel that he is still dangerous. he has beaten some top players, so some good wins for him. he really enjoyed his time out there

on the court, and clearly the way the crowds go towards him, i mean, he was whipping them up. it was like a football crowd out there. he he was whipping them up. it was like a football crowd out there.— a football crowd out there. he was box office this _ a football crowd out there. he was box office this week. _ a football crowd out there. he was box office this week. you - a football crowd out there. he was box office this week. you say - box office this week. you say dangerous. do you think he still believes he can win a grand slam. his match he talks about how he thinks he has got another deep run in him for a grand slam. 35 years old. no singles play has ever come back from the hip surgery he had to compete at the top. do you think in his head he really believes he can potentially win another slam, or at least go as deep into a second week as possible? i least go as deep into a second week as possible?— as possible? i do. when you have a character like _ as possible? i do. when you have a character like andy _ as possible? i do. when you have a character like andy murray, - as possible? i do. when you have a character like andy murray, who i as possible? i do. when you have a| character like andy murray, who has one of those three grand slams, two wimbledons, one usa, the davis cup, the us open, i don't think he would put himself through what he is putting himself through training —wise and preparation —wise, and all the rehab, to get himself ready to play the way he has played this week if he didn't believe that he could win slams. from what i understand, he doesn't want to be told, but you

have achieved all these great things, why don't you go home and retire? i think he wants to focus on what he thinks he still has left in his body and his mind and his tennis for the amount of time he has left to be on the tour. and it's not easy. it's very, very tough. but of course, you have to remember in a grand slam it is seven matches in the course of a two—week period, and best of five sets. so that is extremely demanding on anybody 's body. i mean, it's an extraordinary thing to put a body through. and when we think, he played unbelievably long matches this week. he played almost five hours to get past a very teeny, saving a match point. then nearly six hours for the second batch, and then 3.5 yesterday, that's a lot of physical demands, and emotional demands. there was that rally in one match where he was running from side to side at the back of the court. for a guy with a metal hip, phenomenal.

could cope with it all, but i think he will be back for more, that's for sure. ~ ~' , he will be back for more, that's for sure. ~ ~ , ., , sure. we will keep our fingers crossed for — sure. we will keep our fingers crossed for wimbledon. - sure. we will keep our fingers crossed for wimbledon. it's i sure. we will keep our fingers - crossed for wimbledon. it's always fascinating with andy murray how respected he is on the tour. he is regarded so highly. once he does retire, whenever that is and hopefully long in the future, we will talk about this australian open run for some time. the level of those performances, and as annabel said, the ia hours on court in the end across those three matches. exhausting! i guess that determined psychology is what makes it harder for him _ psychology is what makes it harder for him to — psychology is what makes it harder for him to work away. it�*s psychology is what makes it harder for him to work away.— for him to work away. it's like a boxer who _ for him to work away. it's like a boxer who doesn't _ for him to work away. it's like a boxer who doesn't want - for him to work away. it's like a boxer who doesn't want to - for him to work away. it's like a | boxer who doesn't want to leave for him to work away. it's like a - boxer who doesn't want to leave the stage. and why not? when you are getting so much admiration and you are playing the way he plays, why would you want to walk away? thank ou both would you want to walk away? thank you both so — would you want to walk away? thank you both so much _ would you want to walk away? thank you both so much for _ would you want to walk away? thank you both so much for coming - would you want to walk away? thank you both so much for coming in. - would you want to walk away? thank you both so much for coming in. it i you both so much for coming in. it is 8:45am. millions of people around the world are welcoming in the year of the rabbit, as the chinese new year celebrations begin. the event kicks off a 15—day festival, and it's the first time

since the pandemic began that it's been held without any travel restrictions in china, as michael bristow reports. there is excitement and relief as china begins celebrating its first lunar new year since the lifting of covid restrictions. not surprisingly, there are more travellers than last year. there are expected to be 2 billion individualjourneys in china over the whole holiday, although that is still fewer than before the outbreak began. for some, it is their first get—together since the start of the pandemic. translation: i'm very happy to see my son and his family. this is ourfirst reunion in three years. but covid is casting a shadow over the new year. many are still cautious about travelling. people fear they could be taking disease home with them. translation: although we've opened up, i still have concerns. everyone needs to take measures to protect themselves. and for parents and the elderly who haven't got covid yet,

we still need to be careful for them. in a new year address, china's leader, xijinping, promised glories and dreams in the upcoming year of the rabbit. in perhaps a veiled reference to china's current covid crisis, he said this passing year's achievements have not come easy. chinese officials are trying to convince the public that the worst is over, but there are fears that such a huge movement of people across china over the lunar new year could fuel further covid infections and deaths. michael bristow, bbc news. joining us now is billy hui, who will be compering the new year celebrations in liverpool's chinatown later. thank you for coming in. it's always a spectacle, whatever the year. it is going to be fantastic, and it has been a while as well, with all the

moment across western scotland and northern ireland, which will turn light and patchy through the day. turning damp around some of the irish sea coasts and hills. dense fog to go with the frost in central england. writing up this afternoon across northern scotland and to the north—west of northern ireland. 10 celsius here. but barely getting above freezing weather the fog lingers across in parts of the south—east. it will get back again tonight, but also some more cloud towards the eastern coast. a lot of cloud for many of you keeping you frost free for the midlands and southern england. around stornoway and belfast, 8 degrees to take us into the new working week. on monday, dense fog for the morning commute again, some of which will struggle to shift. a little bit more cloud through east anglia and the south—east tomorrow, so a grey and cold day for some. more sun west of england, eastern wales and northern parts of england. still cloudy for scotland and northern ireland. some

light rain and drizzle, but even here there will be some sunshine at times. temperatures on monday afternoon, struggling around freezing for those where the fog lingers, but up to ii celsius for the north and west. scotland on tuesday could even get to iii celsius. watch out for those mystique bridges, won't you? take care. when nine—year—old matilda lost her grandparents she couldn't understand why she could no longer keep in touch with them. then came the idea to install this, a special postbox for people to send letters to their loved ones in heaven. it was unveiled at gedling crematorium in nottinghamshire over christmas, and has since received more than 100 letters. we're joined now by matilda and her mum, leanne. thank you for coming in to see us.

good morning. a tax mess, a police fine, and controversy over publicjobs. it's a tricky morning for the tories. nothing's easy for the prime minister right now. questions still chasing his cabinet colleague nadhim zahawi... have anything you want to say? ..about whether he paid enough tax. are you avoiding answering. questions about your taxes? and new claims this morning that this man, the bbc chairman, helped fix a deal for borisjohnson, who then gave him the job. there are demands in the tory party that the government should give us some hard—earned cash back, yet the prime minister seems to suggest it would be daft to think about tax cuts yet. you're not idiots, you know what's happened. but he made his own mistake, forgetting to buckle up in the back, breaking the law and being fined. expectations for the economy might

have improved touch. but making ends meet still the biggest for families and firms.
