6:09 am
of flybe. you will ultimately be able to claim back the money from the card issuer with which you bought the ticket, or indeed if you speak to your travel agent, if you booked through them. but right now, you have a problem. bcaa says you will have to find an flight or indeed a train or coach that will get you to your destination. it is a very sad day for the airline, of course, especially for the staff, but it is not like when the original flybe went bust in march 2020. at that time, we saw tens of thousands of people losing their flights, and crucially over 2000 people losing theirjobs, right at the start of theirjobs, right at the start of the covid pandemic. those people, i reckon, will, and many of them are based in belfast and birmingham, they will be able to get alternative employment relatively quickly. but of course, the passengers who just found their travel plans torn up, it is extremely inconvenient. there is

6:14 am
dominic kashani, bbc news, northamptonshire. here's chris with a look at this morning's weather. you have lots of bars, lots of wind in that cryptographic behind you. what are we supposed to be expecting? shirts, that is a preview, you're not meant to see that! —— shush. there will be some bright and sunny spells breaking through the cloud, the best of it this morning across parts of yorkshire, and then across the northern ireland —— across northern ireland and scotland later today. this is what is happening in the big picture. a cold front is pushing south, it is really weak and will give a few spots of rain across northern england, north wales and the north midlands, but hardly anything. the main significance is behind that, across scotland and northern ireland, we start to break the cloud up and will get more in the cloud up and will get more in the way of sunshine. at of that feature will also be a bit of sunshine for a time in yorkshire. so for some it might be a quite nice
6:15 am
start of the day, in terms of sunrise. temperatures today average for this time of year, seven or eight across england and wales. similar temperatures in scotland and northern ireland for a time this morning, before slightly cooler air arrives in the afternoon. overnight tonight, but cold front continues its journey south. the clouds will continue to break up, the clearest of the skies across northern areas, there will be patches of frost around across parts of scotland, parts of north—east england, but patchy in nature. then tomorrow, we've got something of a change in our weather picture. we have an area of low pick —— low pressure pushing on, bringing about of heavy rain and of this area of rain we have some stronger winds. so across scotland, northern ireland and northern england, it is going to be a much windier day on sunday. those strong winds should help to blow a few more holes into the clouds, so there will be a bit more on the way of sunshine running ahead of outbound rain. —— head of that band of rain. winds 50 or 60 miles an hour across scotland,
6:16 am
very windy for northern ireland and the north—west of both england and wales, with decent breaks developing in the high ground, to the east of the high ground in the pennines and eastern areas of wales as well. should see some sunshine. temperatures, with the winds turning to the south—west for a time, could be around 12 in aberdeen, so it will actually be a bit milder. it probably won't feel so, because it will be windier. on monday, richard high pressure pushing on. sunny spells for a time before things don't cloudy in the west late in the day. temperatures around nine or ten, that is above average for this time of year, but that milder zone of weather will not last much longer, because as we head into tuesday, another area of low pressure comes in, strong winds following to the north—west. with that comes the threat of seeing some hill snow to a time. that will be in parts of northern and western scotland. otherwise, at lower elevations, as you can see, glasgow and londonderry, you're more likely to see outbreaks of rain with maybe a bit of hail mixed in, and further south, probably staying drive attemptjust coming down a few

6:18 am
own highs. that is why we have seen, as you say, president biden to the police chief and other officials really pleading with citizens to remain peaceful. the family of tyree nicholls saying this is the community, it is who we live with, we have to walk the streets, is not destroyed and let's remain peaceful no matter how much outrage we feel from this incident which, we have to say, from america just keeps happening again and again despite these cold for police reform. so the protests here have been peaceful, in fact they have ended. people have gone home, heeding that cool from the family to honour tyre nichols in that way. that doesn't mean they are not shaken to the core by what they have been. ~ . not shaken to the core by what they have been. . ., ., , , have been. indeed. what will happen next? we have _ have been. indeed. what will happen next? we have seen _ have been. indeed. what will happen next? we have seen incidence - have been. indeed. what will happen next? we have seen incidence of - next? we have seen incidence of police violence, we have seen them out of control, it is fair to say,

6:34 am
i believed that i could, you know, bring about some positive change. but she quit after four years, telling the wru she was sick of being exposed to bullying, sexism and sexual harassment at work. and that's really sad. um... the women's game had long struggled for crowds and credibility. and, in 2018, things had hit rock bottom. commentator: well, they beat| wales here at twickenham, 52-0. after 20 years working in sport, charlotte's job was to get more women and girls playing and to develop a strategy for the future. i was working as a consultant, research and insight, particularly for sports organisations.
6:35 am
what were people telling you as you're about to... mm. ..take this step and join the wru? mm. "don't." "are you sure?" i'd heard whispers around some of the challenges the young female team within the women's programme had faced. just feeling quite ridiculed, undervalued. misogyny, sexism. it was... everything was always an additional hurdle. when she started herjob, she says she soon began to see it for herself. there was an attitude that it was ok to make derogatory comments to, you know, to make sexist/sexual comments around women, or about women, within groups of the organisation. it was always sort of palmed off as banter, but i think again, there's...there�*s a line. that line got crossed for me, personally, and i know for others.
6:36 am
wru is always keen to push its commitment to the women's game. we're committed to making the best professional programme in the world. over the last 12 months, - we've seen some real progress in the women's game in wales. we've seen the first i professional contracts, we've seen the professional staff, the support staff- bolstered. while progress was being made, some in the organisation were still worried about the culture in parts of the wru. it's not a culture that likes to be challenged. marc roberts has just quit the wru after 20 years of helping to develop the men's and women's game in north wales. when i first started and i thoroughly enjoyed the experience, i think, unfortunately, the last five or six years, the culture has got worse.
6:37 am
marc says he warned bosses about what he'd seen and heard from a number of women in the organisation. i'm aware of several instances where females have left the business or mental health has been affected and, certainly, it's part of my decision to leave welsh rugby union. were they able to complain about it? there's been a lack of support to some females who have had complaints, and when one person relays that story to another, there's a reluctance then to go forward and voice opinions. are you pretty satisfied that this happened because they were women? yes, 100% it was because they were women. charlotte's role was to change the game and attitudes, but says she found some too entrenched. overt references. "they're all gay, they're all. you know, it's that kind of culture. you know, or god forbid, we, you know, we show the women's game because, you know, they're going to detract from us as a brand. it was, you know, those types of things.
6:38 am
and who was it coming out with this? was itjuniorfigures or were these senior figures within the organisation? seniorfigures and juniorfigures. senior figures...and it was... it was the lack of the game being taken seriously. i remember charlotte coming into the organisation and, as guilty as it makes me feel, i remember looking at her, thinking, "woman, blonde and working in women's rugby." that made me feel, "you're going to be the next target." we've spoken to another former employee about her time at the wru. she's asked us not to identify her. an actor tells her story. being from a rugby family and a rugby background, the concept of working for the wru had always been a bit of a dream. to the outside, the wru was this bright, shiny organisation. inside of it, it's just toxic.
6:39 am
she quit in 2018 after six years at the wru and says while there was investment in the women's game, not everyone bought into the idea. some attitudes were, on the pitch we're not equals. and women's rugby was the game for lesbians. it wasn't something they liked. it's something that was played on a sunday, on a day that didn't interfere with the men's game. sometimes that kind of language was used around the national centre of excellence about the national team. it was just the culture. but that was the view amongst some. the national centre of excellence is where wales's top players train and where charlotte says she witnessed worrying attitudes too, including how, in 2019, a male colleague referred to an exercise drill with young women. he referred to one of the drills in one
6:40 am
of the sessions as the c—word drill, you know, in front of other senior members of the team. and that...it was ok. we had 17—, 18—year—olds there. and they used the c—word in front of them? and referred to the drill as the c—word. charlotte says she reported her concerns to bosses. we understand one of those bosses didn't recall that conversation. the man in question left the wru. she says she was told the complaint couldn't be investigated further. marc says he also reported incidents elsewhere. he says that, last march, he witnessed colleagues making jokes about child sexual abuse during a staff team—building event. very early on in that day, somebody on a bus journey to the activity referenced somebody was, um, from a private school. and because they went to a private school, there would be some kind
6:41 am
of sexual abuse to him as a child by teachers, etc... um... i was quite shocked that that sort of terminology was used. as we got off the bus, the most senior manager on that particular journey then echoed the same statement to the same individual. that particular day, you know, it was unprofessional behaviour throughout, to the point where that day was actually investigated by an external hr company. marc says he told them what he'd overheard. the wru told us, "this is new information "which will be followed up and acted on." women's rugby was everything i wanted to do. i remember those days when i pulled on a red jersey were some of the most wonderful days of my life. tonia antoniazzi was a wales international. she's now a welsh mp.
6:42 am
she says it was never easy playing in the women's game, but she'd hoped, 20 years on, things would be different. there are still issues around misogyny and sexism in rugby. there is a massive problem. this is at different levels. three completely different people came to me with a complete... ..with concerns around governance and the way that women are being treated. but from three different perspectives, and those different perspectives is what convinced me that i needed to take this further. this is on a level of gymnastics. this is on the level of what's happened in cricket. allegations of abuse in gymnastics and racism at yorkshire cricket led to independent inquiries
6:43 am
into those scandals. at the wru, concerns about culture were flagged in an online meeting in 2020, when marc and charlotte say they overheard a colleague make a racist comment. in a zoom meeting, one of the senior managers within the rugby side, we were chatting about cricket just before the start of meeting and... ..and he referred to a minority group as the p—word. well, the conversation was between the manager and the individual who used that p—word, and nothing was said. i actually brought it up and said, you know, that term was unacceptable and inappropriate. and my colleague referred to a newsagent in the village with the same term. at no stage did a senior manager stop and say, "you cannot use that term. "that is not the appropriate term."
6:44 am
but it's not the first time that manager was accused of failing to act. according to charlotte, there was another serious incident the year before. so, i had an experience of someone referring about me in an office environment, in front of...in front of other staff, in front of other young female staff as well, um, that...they wanted to rape me. um... i remember standing in shock. i remember ijust carried on looking at what i was doing, going, "did ijust hearthat?" you know, "did ijust hear that?" ijust rememberfeeling, oh, you know, like sick, punched in the stomach and, you know, and everyone�*s laughing. and there was a senior member of staff there, and...it was funny, ha—ha. and i remember ijust left the room and i burst into tears and ifelt sick, and i thought, "crikey, is this what it's come to?" and there was a senior manager who witnessed that? any repercussions at all?
6:45 am
no repercussions. take me back to the hotel. tie me to the bed and rape me. 0n hearing that, what's your response to those allegations? it'sjust wrong. it's wrong that anybody, any woman or girl should be subjected to that kind of vile, vile treatment, language in a workplace. and where it is witnessed, and those people do not put a stop to it, they are... ..they are complicit in it as well. what would you have expected to happen? i'd have expected the conversation to be shutdown completely, totally and utterly at that moment in time. charlotte decided not to report her allegations at the time.
6:46 am
you know, i didn't go to hr on it. two reasons, i think. one, because... i. . .just total apathy to, one, it being listened to, dealt with or, you know, and... and the fear of repercussion, you know, to me and others, i suppose, around, you know, just... life was already tough enough. but she did eventually write to the wru, detailing that allegation and others as part of a formal grievance. the wru hired a lawyer to look into her allegations, and charlotte gave them a list of potential witnesses to corroborate what she was saying. but we've discovered that a number of them were not contacted and the man she accused of saying he wanted to rape her in his hotel room wasn't interviewed as part of the grievance inquiry. he still works for the welsh rugby union. the manager who charlotte said witnessed the incident told the inquiry though he
6:47 am
remembered the man accused saying that she could visit him in his hotel room, he couldn't recall the word "rape" being used. disbelief. because it's such a strong word, you know? evokes such a strong reaction, doesn't it, to most people? so, i think — i think i'm surprised if he can't recall that word being used. we've been told that a witness, identified by charlotte to the wru, was willing to make a statement, confirming that they'd seen and heard the man make the rape comments, but they were
6:48 am
not asked to do so. with the serious nature of what i'm calling out, why wouldn't you do that? why wouldn't you find out for yourselves? ask the people that were there? but they haven't. the wru told us that charlotte's allegations remain unsubstantiated following a thorough, independent legal investigation. it says it takes any allegations from staff regarding behaviour, attitude and language seriously and if any allegations are substantiated, it will act swiftly as such behaviour has no place in the wru or in welsh rugby. charlotte is not the only woman to challenge the wru. the colleague who saw the signs right at the start of charlotte's time at the organisation says that she'd already told hr how
6:49 am
bullying and sexism at work had left her feeling suicidal. this wasn't about an incident here and an incident there. it was constant undermining of me or my gender. she says it began when she returned from maternity leave and the manager began targeting her. i would say it was bullying. you just didn't know that day what kind of mood they were going to be in. the thought of leaving the house to go to work would bring on almost a panic attack. i was considering taking my own life because i couldn't see the way out. i went as far as to start drafting a manual for my husband on what to do in the event that i died.
6:50 am
takes you to a very dark, dark place, where you can genuinely look at your husband and think, "you're young enough "to meet someone else and my daughter is young enough "to get another mother." but ultimately, that's the point that i got to, and that's probably at the point i reached out to hr. she says she was advised to put in a grievance against the manager and that she could move offices but that would still be in the same building, so she left without taking it further. to hold my hands up and to genuinely challenge what was going on was the most high—risk strategy to me. but she says she did give the name of that manager to hr. we've discovered that the same person, along with other managers, was also the subject of complaints in charlotte's case. by the early spring of 2021, charlotte says that her mental
6:51 am
health was deteriorating. she told the wru she felt broken, the culture was toxic, and she was too ill to return to work. at my lowest point, i thought, "enough's enough. "i can't. "i don't want to be here any more." they beat me down. they won. and you just, at that point think, "there's no hope. "there's no hope," you know? "nobody wants to take this seriously." in april 2021, she began a formal grievance against the wru. with the team struggling on the pitch, the union announced it was doing an independent review of women's rugby. the wru announced it was commissioning an independent review of women's rugby. it was meant to be a long, hard look at what was going wrong. current and former players would be asked for their views. executives and
6:52 am
coaching staff too. the aim — to move the women's game forward with a promise from the wru there would be no avoiding difficult decisions off the back of the findings. tonia antoniazzi took part in the review and wanted its findings published, but the wru refused. what are the welsh rugby union hiding? i believe it is too embarrassing and too damaging. no recommendations from the women's review have been published. they may have been acted on but they're not in the public domain. where is that transparency? we've seen extracts of the review�*s findings. out of 20 areas examined, strategy, players and also the culture, not a single one was said to be performing well. players at the time describe the environment and culture as draining, demoralising, frustrating.
6:53 am
some senior staff said it was underfunded. mental health, for some, was suffering. past players described it as "toxic" and wanted an end to inequality, quick fixes and empty promises from the wru, which was warned that its finances and reputation were at significant risk if things didn't improve. while the authors found passion, hard work and commitment from players and staff, just three out of eight executives took part in the review. i think if there were positive outcomes of that review, you would plaster it all over everywhere and show everybody the positive outcomes. if it's a negative one, um, my opinion — a good culture, a good environment would still put it out there. marc wasn't the first to quit, warning the culture needed to change.
6:54 am
aviva boss amanda blanc, recently voted the sunday times businessperson of the year, stepped down in late 2021 as chair of the wru's professional rugby board. what she said in her resignation speech hasn't been revealed until now. we've discovered she described her shock at the board asking if she had enough business experience for the role, and warned about the treatment of some women in the organisation. she said that she was beyond disappointed with the review into the women's game and that it verged on being insulting towards women. she referenced a meeting held to discuss an allegation of bullying of a female member of staff, but that the board spent most of their time talking about how to defend the man accused. and she said she was staggered to hear about an elected wru
6:55 am
member say that women should know their place in the kitchen and stick to the ironing, and that some board members felt it unfair to take too many free tickets away from him as a sanction. she also warned that when it came to equality, diversity and inclusion, they were sitting on a ticking time bomb. that doesn't surprise me. i find it abhorrent that you cannot put your hands up and say what you found that was so awful and tell people what you are doing to put it right. the wru insist they have implemented change as a result of the review. it didn't comment on amanda blanc�*s concerns, but it did strongly refute any suggestion that the women's game has been held back by the issues described and remains committed to it now and into the future. charlotte spent a year fighting the wru over her allegations
6:56 am
and began employment tribunal proceedings. a hearing was scheduled for this summer, where those accused would be publicly named. this was probably one of the worst experiences of my life. and it was dark, it was grim, and it could've cost me my life. just because i was trying to develop the women's game. the woman who said she'd faced bullying and sexism also tried taking action against the wru, which had denied any wrongdoing. i tried to take them to an employment tribunal. they bullied me by saying they would put a cost order against me because they would argue that the claim was vexatious and that as a result of that, it could amount to fees — extraordinary, extraordinary fees i would have to pay.
6:57 am
on the balance of what was the most important at that time — my family and our livelihood versus trying to fix an organisation i'd left — i chose my family and my livelihood. at the time, she says the wru argued she'd left it too late to bring a claim, and that she had no grounds for one. it told us her case was investigated and proper procedures were followed. unless you are a woman, and — excuse the expression — but with balls and deep pockets, how on earth do you take on somebody like the wru and stand up to them without there being financial detriment, reputational detriment? there has to be an independent body set up to look at complaints. i would like to see the welsh government take the bull by the horns and develop a system
6:58 am
that is robust enough to hold sporting governing bodies to account. um... will that happen? i don't know. the mp wants a senedd inquiry into the wru, on a par with yorkshire cricket. she's also written to the wru's most famous patron about what women have told her. the prince of wales needs to know that this is a real issue. the well—being and mental health of people that have worked at the wru is a concern, and it should be a concern for him. the wru said how sad it was to hear how individuals in this programme felt, and said it will continue to work with staff to ensure they feel valued and listened to. two months after we interviewed charlotte wathan, her case against the wru was settled in what both sides described
6:59 am
as an "amicable agreement" — that means there won't be an open hearing. the wru says the settlement also prevents them from responding to charlotte's complaints in this programme. for those who've walked away from the welsh rugby union, there's still hope that the women's game can keep moving forward as they try to do the same. it doesn't matter how much counselling i go through to try and heal what's there but ultimately, the wru will stay as this open wound for me. i've just got to learn to live with it. i'm hoping that i give other women courage. actually standing up for yourself and saying, you know, "this isn't ok."
7:00 am
i want to leave a better legacy. and that's — that's my goal. and ultimately, i hope that it brings around transformational change because it could be such a wonderful organisation. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines: a mass shooting at a synagogue in jerusalem. seven people are killed in the attack, which comes at the end of a week of rising tensions in the region. police in the american city of memphis release graphic video showing officers beating a black man in the street earlier this month. tyre nichols died three days later. regionalairline

7:02 am
—— correspondent. they came to praise. thejewish sabbath had just got under way. as the night ended, police were counting their bodies in the street. security forces say the gunman arrived at the synagogue and opened fire. some people were hit, and panicked to get out, before the attacker managed to escape and drove off. then, security forces shot him. this is just a few metres from where the shooting took place, close to the synagogue. forensics teams and police now looking at this car. you can clearly see the bullet holes on the driver's side. witnesses told the bbc the driver then managed to get out and run before being shot dead. translation: | heard shots, - there were flashes, and then i saw a car and the body of the terrorist. he yelled "allahu akbar". there is no security in these areas. we need to find these terrorists, ruin their houses, take them out of israel. at the scene, the head of the jerusalem police said the attack was one of the worst
7:03 am
israel has seen in years. translation: the attacker i is a resident of east jerusalem. we are completing operations at the scene. right now, unfortunately, we are talking about seven people killed and another three seriously wounded. as the wounded were taken to hospital, security forces closed off nearby areas, searching to see if anyone else was involved. a deadly attack on a jerusalem synagogue as the world marked international holocaust memorial day. it comes as tensions flare in the region. on thursday, nine palestinians were killed by israeli forces during a raid into thejenin refugee camp in the occupied west bank. the dead included militants and at least two civilians, according to health officials. israel said it acted on intelligence of imminent attacks by islamichhad, a palestinian militant group. they called it a counter—terrorist operation. in the aftermath,
7:04 am
the group vowed to respond. several rockets were fired on thursday night from the gaza strip, shot down by israel, which then launched air strikes on a base operated by hamas. the escalating violence follows the most deadly period in years in israel and the west bank. injerusalem, prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrived at the scene of the shooting, as did his controversial new police minister, while some residents called for revenge. now security forces are piecing together exactly who was behind this deadly attack. tom bateman, bbc news. police in the us city of memphis have released graphic footage of the violent arrest which led to the death of 29 —year—olds tyre nichols. video taken from offices' body cameras show mr nicholas... police
7:05 am
in the us city of memphis have now released about. he was punched by five policemen who have been sacked and charged with murder. a word —— warning for you, nada tawfik�*s report contained some distressing images. video of the incident is disturbing right from the start. everything about the officers' approach is aggressive in this initial traffic stop. taken aback, tyre nichols is heard protesting his innocence. damn, i didn't do anything! hey! all right, all right, all right... after officers wrestle him to the ground, he seems to comply with their commands. all right, i'm on the ground. lay down! but as this encounter continues, mr nichols breaks away and flees. the next videos capture the moment five black officers charged with his murderfind him, and what follows is extremely graphic. at this point those around him are brutalising. repeatedly, they kick him in the head, striking with a baton and punch him.
7:06 am
in distress, he calls out for his mother. footage from later shows the officers talking to one another and recounting their version of events. tyre nichols was ultimately taken to the hospital in a critical condition and died three days laterfrom his injuries. officials warned about the video's horrific nature in advance, but nothing could prepare people we met in memphis for what they were seeing. as a man of colour it was extremely hard because it could have been me. you know, i've been pulled over for speeding, you know, five or ten miles over, nothing excessive, but you never know what kind of situation that could turn into. protests have been peaceful, perhaps a result of the family's call for calm, and the fact that all five black police officers have been charged in tyre nichols' death. after the video's release, shelby county sheriff announced two deputies who responded to the scene had also been relieved of duty. president biden said he was outraged and deeply pained by the video,
7:07 am
and echoed tyre nichols' family's calls for peace. what is at stake is, first of all, innocent people's lives, number one. number two, it has a lot to say and do with the image of america. it is an image not helped by these videos. the need for police reforms again at the front of people's minds. nada tawfik, bbc news, memphis, tennessee. a serving member of the british army has been charged with terrorism offences. 21—year—old daniel khalif from stafford will appear at
7:08 am
westminster magistrates' court this morning. he is charged with eliciting information likely to be used by a person committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism, and is also charged with an explosives offence. the airline flybe has ceased trading and cancel all flights after the company went into administration. a message on the website urges anybody due to fly with the ally not to travel to the airport and says flights will not be rescheduled. simon calder, the independent�*s travel correspondent, has spoken about the impact this will have. this is really sad news of flybe, the second attempt to make an airline bible under that name, and of course the thousands of people who have got advance tickets. it is very sad day of course for the airline and in particular the staff, but it is not like when flybe the original went bust march 2020. at that time we saw tens of thousands of people losing their flights, and crucially, over two dozen people losing theirjobs right at the start
7:09 am
of the covid pandemic. anybody with a ticket today, your flight will not be going. do not go to the airport unless you have a reservation for a different hairline you bought since the collapse of flybe. you will ultimately be able to claim back the money from the card issuer with which you bought the ticket, or indeed you can talk to your travel agent if you book through them. but right now you have a problem. the caa says it will have to find alternative flight or indeed a train or a coach that will be able to get to your destination. that or a coach that will be able to get to your destination.— or a coach that will be able to get to your destination. that was simon calder. civil servants who had intended to lodge complaints against cabinet minister dominic raab later pulled out due to fears about being identified stop mr raab is currently subject to a bullying investigation. let's get more from our political correspondence david wallace lockhart. good morning, david. this has been spoken about some time now. in recent days we had an update on the of complaints, but also now the
7:10 am
fact that people, or the allegation, the assertion, that people are pulling out of making a complaint due to fear?— pulling out of making a complaint due to fear? that is right. dominic raab is of course _ due to fear? that is right. dominic raab is of course the _ due to fear? that is right. dominic raab is of course the justice - raab is of course thejustice secretary and deputy prime minister. he has been facing allegations of bullying about his conduct during previous stints in government and there have been eight formal complaints lodged against him. they are now being investigated by an external lawyer, a man named alan toy qc. dominic raab denies allegations of bullying, he says he has behaved properly throughout. now, the bbc understands a number of members of the civil service who are planning to launch formal complaints against mr raab ultimately did not, because they would have had to reveal themselves in order to do so. this is normal practice for an investigation like this, they would not normally take anonymous testimony. adam told me has been conducting interviews about mr raab�*s alleged conduct since the beginning of the year, but we don't
7:11 am
know about the exact timescale for him reporting back. it will be for rishi sunak, once he does, to make an ultimate decision about mr raabe —— mr raab�*s future, if there is any decision to be made. it is important to mention that is not the only potential headache rishi sunak faces. the chairman of the conservative party is also being investigated about allegations surrounding his previous tax affairs. he says he has behaved properly throughout, but of course rishi sunak says that there are questions you need be answered. the education secretary is urging teachers in england and wales to tell their head teachers if they are planning to strike on wednesday. gillian keegan made the request in a letter to the national education union, saying that schools needed advance warning to minimise disruption, though teachers are not obliged to do so. eu said that head should plan for all union members be on strike.

a man who killed his wife but never reveal the whereabouts of her body could be freed from prison this weekend after the justice secretary did not challenge his parole. russell causley murdered his wife carole packman in 1985. his daughter, carol gillingham, wants a father to remain behind bars. she has been speaking to a legal correspondence to monica ciotti. for 38 years, sam gillingham has lived with a question tearing at her soul. how did her father kill her mother, and why won't he say what he did with the body? today she is preparing for 79—year—old russell causley to leave jail, even though he has never told the full truth about the fate of his wife, carole packman. i don't have an inquest. i don't have a death certificate for my mother. i don't have any of those things. she is literallyjust, doesn't exist anymore. over a succession of trials and appeals, he said nothing,
7:13 am
adding to her pain. i want to find my mother's body, still, though. and it has been very difficult. and i am hoping that if there is anybody out there who will tell me where my mother is, if you know, then please come forward and tell me. last december she finally heard him speak at the first—ever public parole hearing, assessing whether he was safe to leave jail, and as his daughter was listening, he said he had burnt her mother's remains. if anything it opened up more questions for me. what do you think he was trying to do in that hearing? deflect the reality of the sort of person that he actually is. that was the most frustrating thing that i found, to listen and not have somebody from my side to challenge from, directly from the victim's side. the former victims' commissioner for england and wales says the process needs to be more clearly thought through. you must know that is going to happen. you must have good quality victim support, specialists, counselling, to be with you before,
7:14 am
after, to see you through it. and i don't think that any of that is available now. the parole board says that russell causley is a liar, but safe to be released. that will happen within days. sam is resigned to that, but wants officials to make herfather meet her. what would you ask him? why? yeah, why are you continuing to just play these games of control still? should he ever be released? no. why not? because i do not think that he is safe to be released. he still is manipulative and controlling. i think that they are wrong, i think theirjudgement is wrong. i still don't feel that my mother has had justice. and that is a difficult pill to swallow. dominic kashani, bbc news, northamptonshire.

are very aware of what the tournament means, what it holds in terms of the david versus goliath and how that can be a very inspiring narrative. a disappointing start for england's cricketers as they were beaten in the first one—day international against south africa despite a century from jason roy in bloemfontein. set a total of 299 to win, england were eventually skittled out for 271. roy had made 113 before falling. the second of three matches is tomorrow. ben stokes, who's not playing, has strongly hinted on social media that the schedule is the problem. a world cup final beckons for england's youngsters who are through to the women's under 19 final against india after a narrow win over australia. it had looked like ending in disappointment when australia were on course to make their meagre target of 100. but thanks to hannah baker taking the last six aussie wickets for just lio runs, england sealed a place in tomorrow's final.

next to history on ice — matt weston has become great britain's first men's skeleton world champion in 15 years after winning in st moritz. weston finished an astonishing 1.79 seconds ahead of his nearest rival in switzerland. he's 25, and becomes only the second british man to win a world skeleton title, joining kristan bromley, who triumphed in altenberg in 2008. in the united rugby championship, there was no need for late drama for ulster as they comfortably beat the stormers of south africa 35—5 to movejust two points behind them in third place. there was also a victory for scarlets over south african opposition as they upset the bulls 37—28 for just their fourth win of a disappointing campaign.

in the united rugby championship, no such drama for ulster. they didn't need any indian, because they easily beat the storms of south africa 35—5 to move just two points beat the storms of south africa 35—5 to movejust two points behind and then into third place. there was also a victory for scarlets over south african opposition as they upset the bulls 37—28 for just their fourth win of a disappointing campaign. the rugby football union has apologised for the way it handled news that it plans to introduce radical new tackle laws. in a bid to reduce the number of concussions in the game, from next season, players will have to tackle below the waist rather than below the shoulders. but the proposal has faced a backlash from numerous clubs, players, coaches and officials. our reporter lewis coombes has visited chichester rugby club to find out more. since rugby's inception, players have tackled like this. but from next season, they will have to lower

concussion protocols that have been processed over the last years have come in for a valid reason. head injuries were not is understood as they are now and we need to lower data. the game has been involved in change and we need to make it safer. but we do need to still be physically intense and impactful game that people want to watch because it is drama unfolding in front of you. getting that balance is a difficult challenge that the rf you have to reckon with. g, is a difficult challenge that the rf you have to reckon with. a petition callin: for you have to reckon with. a petition calling for the _ you have to reckon with. a petition calling for the rfu _ you have to reckon with. a petition calling for the rfu to _ you have to reckon with. a petition calling for the rfu to reverse - you have to reckon with. a petition calling for the rfu to reverse the l calling for the rfu to reverse the decision has amassed more than 75,000 signatures, with a lot of confusion surrounding the definition of the term waist height. hf confusion surrounding the definition of the term waist height. h! the confusion surrounding the definition of the term waist height.— of the term waist height. if the rfu came back and _ of the term waist height. if the rfu came back and said, _ of the term waist height. if the rfu came back and said, you know- of the term waist height. if the rfu | came back and said, you know what, it is not technically waist height, waist height we define is just below the sternum, would that be a compromise for you? i the sternum, would that be a compromise for you?- the sternum, would that be a compromise for you? i think it is oor compromise for you? i think it is poor communication. _ compromise for you? i think it is poor communication. the - compromise for you? i think it is poor communication. the way i compromise for you? i think it is poor communication. the way it | compromise for you? i think it is . poor communication. the way it has been _ poor communication. the way it has been worded thus far is frustrating, disappointing and quite insulting to the players of the game that we have not been _ the players of the game that we have not been involved in consulting this _ not been involved in consulting this not — not been involved in consulting this not a _

7:48 am
the next few days. back to you two. thank you so much. we will see you later with your co—ordinated weather forecast throughout the morning. thank you very much! it's time now for a look at this week's newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. the bbc reports on allegations about its own chairman, richard sharp. how does it ensure it does so impartially? and was it relevant for bbc news to describe this tax lawyer who investigated nadhim zahawi as a labour supporter? two sets of allegations dominated news coverage in the first half of this week. both involved money and senior conservative politicians, and one of them also involved the chairman of the bbc, richard sharp. viewer opinion was divided as to whether bbc news had devoted the right amount of coverage
7:49 am
to each of those tales. here's a viewer called ch: but others felt that the bbc had been slow last week to report nadhim zahawi's tax affairs and that this week, it had given insufficient attention to what transpired between richard sharp and borisjohnson. keith russell wrote to us on monday: the investigation into nadhim zahawi's financial affairs was kick—started
7:50 am
by the tax expert dan neidle. listen to how he was referred to on monday's news at ten on tuesday's newsnight. now, dan neidle is a labour—supporting tax lawyer who's been investigating mr zahawi's tax affairs, particularly relating to balshore investments. dan neidle is a, you know, a very senior former tax lawyer but he's also a very vociferous labour supporter as well, it has to be said. yes, and i don't think — but i don't think- that's the real issue. those weren't the only occasions dan neidle was described on the bbc as being labour—supporting. steve hilton agreed that mr neidle's political sympathies weren't the issues here, and recorded this video for us. so, what's going on here? is the bbc inferring that someone's political allegiance means that their criticism is somehow invalid? are we, in future, going to be informed when a guest is conservative—supporting? i'd really be interested
7:51 am
in the editorial process here. and lissy wilkins contrasted the description of mr neidle as labour—supporting with the treatment of the bbc chairman in the following item on monday's bulletin. no mention was made of mr sharp's support of the tory party or, indeed, the large donation he had made to the tory party. if this is to be the bbc�*s policy to identify the political allegiance of everyone appearing in the programme, this policy should apply to everyone. we put those points to bbc news and they told us:
7:52 am
the bbc chairman richard sharp gave an interview on tuesday to the corporation's own media editor, katie razzall. it came two days after a newspaper story alleged he'd helped facilitate a loan to the then prime minister borisjohnson just weeks before mrjohnson appointed him chairman of the bbc. he denies being involved in any loan. she asked mr sharp about the allegations of a conflict of interest around the time he was appointed to the post. during the process, candidates were asked if there could be anything that might embarrass the government or the organisation if it came to light. i mean, this is embarrassing to the bbc and, potentially, the government, isn't it? having had a discussion with the cabinet secretary about avoiding conflict and the perception of conflict, i felt comfortable — and i still feel there was no conflict. well, let's talk now to katie razzall, recently appointed media editor for bbc news, in addition to her role as culture editor.
7:53 am
katie, how did that interview come about? well, from the moment i actually read about the sunday times story on my sunday times app on saturday night and thought, "ok, that's the weekend gone, "or the rest of the weekend," so i knew that this was a story we needed to cover and i wanted to cover — a really important story — so, i know — i spoke to the news desk in the morning. they put in a request to richard sharpe and i personally also put in a request to richard sharp from the beginning, just saying he ought to do an interview, he needed to do an interview. part of, you know, obviously trying to persuade him that it was an important thing to do, particularly around, you know, deborah turness talks a lot about transparency at the bbc, it felt that it was a very important interview for him to do and obviously, i wanted to get that interview. and late on monday night, i heard through the press office that he was going to give me an interview. did the bbc set any conditions on the interview? absolutely no conditions whatsoever and i think it is actually really important to tell you that i did not feel under pressure.
7:54 am
i know people worry — when you're doing a story about your own organisation, people say, "oh, it must be difficult for you." actually, i don't know whether it's not because i'm a bbc lifer and i'm very new to this job — this is the first bbc story i've done as media editor — but i definitely didn't feel under pressure from the bbc over this and, in fact, the senior management and, indeed, tim davie, the director—general did come to me and talk to me just to say, "we want to make sure that you are clear — "you must report this without fear or favour. "we have no pressure on you whatsoever. "we support you in your endeavours as a journalist "to report this" and that — you know, that was the perspective i took, which was ijust need to be fair, accurate, impartial and very glad to get this interview and pleased he's given it to me and i must make sure i ask the right questions. katie, you mentioned impartiality and richard sharp has publicly criticised bbcjournalists for alleged bias in covering the government. i wonder what sense you get as media editor of how the bbc�*s reputation for impartiality is affected by this. well, it's difficult, isn't it? because obviously, perceptions matter,
7:55 am
and that's what i've been saying through my reporting of this is perceptions matter and, you know, his impartiality is potentially being called into question and that does potentially reflect on the bbc. but at the same time, i suppose, it is worth pointing out this isn't a bbc story in the way that perhaps other bbc stories might come about. this is a story of a person who is appointed by the government. so, the bbc had nothing to do with his appointment. the government decides who is going to be bbc ever, 'twas always thus. some of them have been labour. mainly, in recent years, obviously, they've been conservative. so, in that sense, it felt a little bit more distant from the bbc than covering some other bbc stories that i might tackle in the future. newswatch viewers will know there've been a number of big bbc scandals before — jimmy savile, cliff richard. we've interviewed some bbc bosses here on this programme about them. you've mentioned covering the bbc in the future — do you think it's going to be
7:56 am
a big part of your brief? the bbc is a big beast in the media landscape, so i don't think there is any way that i could say to you i'm not going to be covering the bbc a reasonable amount. so, yes, in that instance — in that way, yes, i think i do think it will be a reasonable amount of what i'm covering, but there is a — first of all, there's an enormous global media landscape out there and the intersection of media with tech and all sorts of other issues to cover, so on the media brief, it won't only be the bbc. some viewers might think the media are obsessed with stories about themselves. is that partly true? well, it's interesting. there is that question of navel—gazing, isn't it? and, certainly, i have had the odd father—in—law — well, i've only got one — but saying, "i don't know why you are reporting this. "this is navel—gazing. who cares about it?" but actually, first of all, i don't think, in this specific instance, it is navel—gazing because it's an important story, it was a story that was punching out, that other people were reporting, and the idea that the bbc wouldn't report a story of this kind,
7:57 am
i mean, we'd be accused of a lot worse than navel—gazing if that was the case. but i do think more broadly, i hope in this role — you know, my full title is culture and media editor — and, samira, you know, as a presenter on front row how much culture there is out there. i am going to cover the media, of course i am — i'm the media editor and there's a lot of really important stories in the media that need covering — whether that's streaming wars, i don't know, distrust in our institutions, holding these institutions to account — but i think in the end, culture is a very broad brief as well, so i don't think — i hope i'll never be accused of navel—gazing! katie razzall, thank you. thank you. finally, thursday saw the latest in a series of departures from bbc news. joanna gosling who, along with two of her fellow presenters, david eades and tim willcox, is leaving the corporation after 23 years on the news channel in advance of its merger with the international world news channel in april. at the end of her
7:58 am
last shift on screen, she gave an emotional thankyou to the audience and her colleagues. we're a team, but it's felt like family. lucky me to have had this greatjob that's never felt like a job. thank you for having me. bye—bye. applause hello there. at long last, the temperatures have evened out a bit... that consolidation of the domestic and international news channels onto one service means job losses, including a reduction in the number of lead presenters to six. those remaining after this month's departures have been asked to do screen tests as part of the recruitment process. the bbc has nothing to say publicly about that process, though it did express its thanks and best wishes tojoanna gosling and the other departing presenters. this is what viewer heather dobson had to say:

and what parents and students can expect. a second grand slam crown, in as many days for britain's alfie hewitt. he's just become the australian open wheelchair singles champion, for the first time, a day after winning the doubles trophy. good morning. we are looking at a mostly cloudy day, some bright and sunny spells for yorkshire and in scotland and northern ireland, and for the second half of the weekend, windy weather affecting northern areas. it's saturday the 28th of january. our top story. a gunman has shot dead seven people — and injured three more — after opening fire in ajerusalem synagogue. the attacker — understood to be a 21—year—old palestinian man — was then killed by security forces at the scene. our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports. they came to pray as thejewish
8:02 am
sabbath had just got under way. tonight, police are counting their bodies in the street. security forces say the gunman arrived at the synagogue and opened fire. some people were hit in the panic to get out, say witnesses, before the attacker managed to escape and drove off. and then, the security forces shot him. this is just a few metres from where the shooting took place close to the synagogue. forensics teams and police now — looking at this car, you can clearly see the bullet holes on the driver's side. witnesses told the bbc the driver then managed to get out and run before being shot dead. translation: i heard shots, there were flashes, and then i saw a car here open, body of the terrorist down. he yelled, "allahu akbar." there's no security in the streets. we need to go down and find these terrorists, ruin their houses, take them out of israel. at the scene, the head of thejerusalem police said the attack
8:03 am
was one of the worst israel has seen in years. translation: the attacker i is a resident of east jerusalem. we are completing operations at the scene. right now, unfortunately, we are talking about seven people killed and another three seriously wounded. as the wounded are taken to hospital, police have closed off nearby areas, searching to see if anyone else is involved. a deadly attack on a jerusalem synagogue as the world marks international holocaust memorial day. it comes as tensions flare in the region. on thursday, nine palestinians were killed by israeli forces during a raid intojenin refugee camp in the occupied west bank. the dead included militants and at least two civilians, according to health officials. israel said it had acted on intelligence of imminent attacks by islamichhad, a palestinian militant group, calling it
8:04 am
a counterterror operation. in the aftermath, the group vowed to respond. several rockets were fired overnight from the gaza strip, shot down by israel, which then launched air strikes on a base operated by hamas. the escalating violence follows the most deadly period in years in israel and the west bank, as security forces start to piece together who was behind tonight's deadly attack. benjamin netanyahu benjamin neta nyahu arrived benjamin netanyahu arrived on the scene. security forces are piecing together who was behind this deadly attack. our middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. yolande, this is the worst attack of this kind in israel for years. one of the worst attacks in israel for years. what has the reaction been? ., , ., ,
8:05 am
for years. what has the reaction been? ., , , been? people are extremely shocked, waitin: to been? people are extremely shocked, waiting to see — been? people are extremely shocked, waiting to see what _ been? people are extremely shocked, waiting to see what the _ been? people are extremely shocked, waiting to see what the israeli - waiting to see what the israeli government will do. we saw at the scene the far right national security minister alongside the veteran prime minister benjamin netanyahu, jonas said people were in the crowd calling out for deficit for our ribs. he called for people not to take the law in their own hands, they would be discussed at the end of the jewish hands, they would be discussed at the end of thejewish sabbath. overnight, we had palestinian militant groups praising this deadly shooting and we did see there were suites being handed out in celebration in the gaza strip and in the refugee camp. a lot of strong international condemnation. joe biden offered the support of the us, the secretary of state antony blinken said it was a horrific terrorist attack. he is supposed to
8:06 am
be coming here, and still plans to in the next few days. these tensions will be at the top of his agenda when it comes to talks with israeli and palestinian leaders. we've have and palestinian leaders. we've have a uk foreign secretaryjames cleverly saying it was appalling. there have been fears for months there could be a wider confrontation building between israelis and politicians, suggesting both sides have lost hope with any kind of peace protest when negotiations stalled long ago. there have been increased concerns voiced by international figures we could be on a path to a third palestinian uprising, and i think given all that has happened in the last few days, those fears will have increased. thank you. police in the us city of memphis have released graphic footage of the violent arrest that led to the death of 29—year—old tyre nichols. videos taken from officers' body cameras show mr nichols being kicked and punched by five policemen, who have been sacked
8:07 am
and charged with his murder. a warning — nada tawfik�*s report contains some distressing images. video of the incident is disturbing right from the start. everything about the officers's approach is aggressive in this initial traffic stop. taken aback, tyre nichols is heard protesting his innocence. i didn't do anything! all right, all right, all right, all right. after officers wrestled him to the ground, he seems to comply with their commands. all right, i'm on the ground. lay down! but as this encounter continues, tyre nichols breaks away and fleas. the next videos capture the moment five black officers charged with his murderfind him, and what follows is extremely graphic. at this point, they surround him and brutalise him. repeatedly, they kick him in the head, struck him with a baton and punch him.
8:08 am
in distress, he calls out for his mother. footage from later shows the officers talking to one another and recounting their version of events. tyre nichols was ultimately taken to the hospital in a critical condition and died three days later from his injuries. officials warned about the video's horrific nature in advance. but nothing could prepare the people we met in memphis for what they would see. as a man of colour, it was extremely hard — because it could have been me. you know? i have been pulled over for speeding, you know? five, ten miles over — nothing excessive. but you never know what kind of situation that could turn into. nojustice! no peace! protests have been peaceful, perhaps a result of the family's call for calm and the fact that all five black police officers have been charged in tyre nichols's death. officials here knew they had to show there would be accountability
8:09 am
or risk public outrage. in fact, after the video's release, the shelby police chief announced two deputies who responded to the scene had been relieved of duty. president biden said he was outraged and deeply pained by the video and echoed tyre nichols's family's calls for a peaceful protest. what is at stake here is, first of all, innocent people's lives, number one. number two, it has a lot to say and do with the image of america. it is an image not helped by these videos. the need for police reform is again at the forefront of people's minds. nada tawfik, bbc news. a serving member of the british army has been charged with terrorism offences. 21—year—old daniel khalif from stafford will appear at westminster magistrates' court this morning. he is accused of trying to elicit information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism and is also
8:10 am
charged with an explosives offence. the airline flybe has ceased trading and cancelled all flights after the company went into administration. a message on the website urged anyone due to fly with the firm not to travel to the airport and said flights wouldn't be rescheduled. celestina olulode reports. the airline's collapse came in the early hours of this morning. passengers have now been advised not to turn up at airports. anybody with a ticket today, your flight will not be going. do not go to the airport unless you have a reservation for the different airline that you bought since the collapse of flybe. this is the second time the airline has gone into administration. in march 2020, flybe announced it would stop trading. 2li00 jobs were lost, in part because of the pandemic. the uk's civil aviation authority
8:11 am
says flybe's decision to stop with the airline once operating up to 530 flights per week, there will be concerns. civil servants who had intended to lodge complaints against cabinet minister dominic raab later pulled out due to fears about being identified. mr raab has denied allegations of bullying. our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, joins us now. good morning to you. people will be familiar this investigation is ongoing into mr rob, allegations of bullying. what is the latest twist —— mr raab. he bullying. what is the latest twist -- mr raab-— bullying. what is the latest twist -- mrraab. ., ., ., , -- mr raab. he has faced allegations of bull in:

8:13 am
subject of an independent investigation, this time into his previous tax affairs, and that settlement he paid while he was chancellor of the exchequer. nadhim zahawi says he believes he has acted appropriately throughout, but wishes to knock himself saying he believes there are questions that need to be asked —— rishi sunak himself. two investigations going on that rishi sunak will have to make decisions on in the not—too—distant future. an nhs trust has been fined £800,000 after admitting failings in the care of a baby who died afterjust 23 minutes of life. nottingham university hospitals pleaded guilty over the care of wynter andrews, who died at the queen's medical centre in 2019. the fine is the largest handed out to an nhs trust over maternity care. passengers wanting to travel on the avanti west coast trainline today are likely to see major disruption, with many
8:14 am
cancellations expected. avanti says the disruption is due to staff shortages and has encouraged commuters to travel on sunday instead, or claim a refund. this is not the first time that avanti west coast has caused disruption for its customers. what this does to longer—term trust amongst the travelling public is obvious and clear, and that's been the case for a number of months now with avanti. it is important avanti tries to prevent that in the future and makes sure they can return to providing that level of service that we all want. retailers failed to pass on falls in the wholesale price of oil to drivers buying fuel at the pump, analysis suggests. diesel drivers were particularly badly affected. according to the rac, wholesale diesel costs plunged by 32 pence per litre in the eight weeks to december 11, but average pump prices only fell by 20p per litre during that time. new zealand's prime minister, chris hipkins, has described flooding in the country's largest
8:15 am
city, auckland, as unprecedented. at least three people have died and more than 100 have been rescued from flooded cars and homes. a seven—day state of emergency is in force across auckland. 815 is the time. criswell tellers evidence going to be a good morning outside. good morning. it is not a bad day, we've got our first weather watcher picture. some cloud breaks, a nice pink sky. as far as the weather goes, quite a quiet weather picture, a lot of cloud but brighter weather for scotland and northern ireland. a week rent arriving, bring in some patches of rain across north—west england and wales as wealth. this is the extent of the
8:16 am
wet weather, if you can call it that. the east of the pennines, yorkshire and ligature starting with some sunshine, but a lot of cloud often across england and wales were the best of the brighter weather in scotland and northern ireland, with some sunny spells breaking through. temperatures around seven or eight celsius, a few showers affecting the hebrides. though showers continue overnight. further south, hebrides. though showers continue overnight. furthersouth, our overnight. further south, our weather front journeys overnight. furthersouth, our weather front journeys across wales, so if few spots of rain, but nothing physically significant. a lot of cloud, a frost free night, but where there is cloud breaks, you could see one or two areas of frost on sunday. sunday will be quite different thanks to this area of low pressure. to the north of but pushing responder rain into scotland and northern ireland. the winds strengthen, so they will break the

cloud to the east of high ground, for some, cloud to the east of high ground, forsome, more cloud to the east of high ground, for some, more sunshine. cloud to the east of high ground, forsome, more sunshine. scotland and northern ireland, this zone of strong winds, with gusts of winds of 260 mph, 44 northern ireland and england. with the winds, quite a mild date, timejust reaching a high of 12 in aberdeen, ten for cardiff and 11 in belfast. into monday, though strong winds ease away, because of this high ridge of pressure, bringing sunny spells for the start of the day across eastern areas. in the west, clouds over with areas. in the west, clouds over with a few patches of rain. still mild, temperatures of nine or ten, but into monday and tuesday, a cold front pushes southwards, a weak one, but some stronger winds following, bringing cooler air. here it will be cold enough in scotland through
8:18 am
tuesday to see some snow upon the high ground. on thursday, pretty cloudy, but am just pushing back into double figures, which for the time of year is a mild. some changes over the next few days, windy weather on the way tomorrow. parents of school children in england and wales may need to make alternative childcare arrangements for wednesday — as thousands of teachers with the national education union go on strike. it's the first of seven strike days planned for february and march — though any individual school will only be affected by four of them. there could be more to follow. teachers in wales have already rejected a one—off pay offer and those in england have yet to receive one. parents in scotland have already experienced this disruption. teachers there have been on a rolling strike since the middle
8:19 am
of january. and most teachers in northern ireland will hold a half—day strike on february 21st. liz works in recruitment. it's an office—based role, but with four children aged between four and 12 likely to be off school on wednesday, she's going to have to work from home. it's so nice that i've got an employer that is flexible, that i can work from home, and if one of my children is ever ill or anything, i can always work from home. so i do always have that option, which is great. yeah, is it ok, then? can you have them all sort of running around you? how do you keep them quiet? it's a bit crazy, but there's ipads, xboxes, playstations, so we just have to make do. av placements near gatwick helps people into jobs in the airline industry. they're planning to let their own staff bring their children into the office if needs be during the teachers' strikes. we've got many parents within the business that obviously have responsibilities and have to juggle them with the business requirements as well as their own family needs.
8:20 am
so obviously, we've been very attentive to that and understanding, and flexibility is key because, in the long run, it pays back. you know? if you look after your staff, your staff look after you. if you can't work because of the strikes, most employers should offer you the chance to use a day's holiday or special leave like a parental or dependants day. if you don't work, though, you're not entitled to get paid. and there are lots of industries where workers might be on zero hours contracts or physically have to be at their workplace to carry out their role. at beauty and beyond in lingfield, they offer a range of beauty treatments. obviously it's face to face, and after struggling to keep the business going during the pandemic, more disruption is the last thing they need. i've got two children at different schools — so one's at secondary one's at primary — so even if one is able to go in, there's a good chance the other one won't be, which means i'll possibly have to shut the salon. schools themselves are employers, of course, too.
8:21 am
the national education union says more than 23,000 schools across england and wales will be affected by these strikes. each will be making their own plans. and it's complicated because members of other teaching unions didn't vote to go on strike. and there are thousands of people doing all sorts ofjobs in schools who aren't members of teaching unions. anybody that is not taking part in the strike action, they will be entitled to normal pay. you know, their day on wednesday will look very different to a typical school day. they might be working at home, they might be working at school, they might be doing different activities. schools are not compelled to teach the national curriculum when they're faced with disruption like this, so they will be having to cross the picket line. the neu has seven days of strike action planned but says no school will be affected by more than four days. even so, anyone with caring responsibilities is facing a lot ofjuggling over the coming month. mark ashdown, bbc news.

8:29 am
pay is fully funded, so at the moment, the pay rise, higher than schools expected, is expected to come out of expected funds and budget. they put more money in the budget, but because of the rising energy prices, it is expensive to run a school and schools are facing financial crisis. they want the pay rises to be better but to be fully funded so children's education isn't affected. it is about working conditions as well, so other considerations, they've talked about ofsted, helping make teaching more appealing profession, because we know whatever your stance is on strikes, we don't have enough teachers. we don't have enough people coming into the profession, and we have too many leaving. the quality of the education, we know almost half of all schools are using nonspecialist maths teachers.

masters ogle beat the most important subject children learn school —— maths is arguably. if we want to have a good profession which people think, when i grow up, i want to be a teacher, we need to address why we are losing so many teachers. we do know from looking at past data, if we increase pay, we get more people wanting to be teacher, more people staying in the classroom. the wanting to be teacher, more people staying in the classroom.— staying in the classroom. the flip side is the _ staying in the classroom. the flip side is the government _ staying in the classroom. the flip side is the government saying . staying in the classroom. the flip side is the government saying to | staying in the classroom. the flip i side is the government saying to all those people striking, there is a finite budget, you can't give everyone what they are after, that is a reality check, and no doubt what the talks are going through. thank you for your expertise. good look with your own domestic situation. mike will be with us shortly with the sport.

8:58 am
spoke with him. young sammy fabelman is passionate about cinema, but often feels confused and isolated from his parents. so many of steven spielberg's films, ranging from the likes of e.t: the extra—terrestrial to saving private ryan, explore broken families. now, this semi—autobiographical movie might be called the fablemans, but the experiences of a young boy's difficult childhood are all spielberg's own. i asked him why now for such a personal story. after i lost my dad, he died at 103 two years ago. and i think after dad died, even though i was working on the story during that time, but after he passed away, that's when i really decided this was the right time to tell the story. i'm asking you to do this now for your mom. and i said that i will, just not tomorrow. i don't be selfish. she just lost her mother. that's more important than your hobby.
8:59 am
can you stop calling it a hobby? the young spielberg—like boy is played by gabriel labelle, a daunting early movie role filmed while he was still a teenager. it is a lot of pressure. you don't want to, you know, mess it up for him. this is a story of his life and his family and some really formative years. it means a lot to him. and you don't want to let him down. maybe you ought to call your father and tell him about it. i can't. he's in mexico with sally. elliott in e.t is just one example of how spielberg recreated the emotions he felt as a child. spielberg keenly felt his father's absence throughout his childhood, although they did reconcile later in life. did you manage to keep that emotional distance with a story like this? 80% of the time. and the other 20%? it was hard. as gabe found out,

manipulative and controlling. another day, another championship for britain's alfie hewettt. he's won the australian open wheelchair singles title, for the first time, a day after winning the doubles trophy. we are looking at a mostly cloudy day, some bright and sunny spells for yorkshire and in scotland and northern ireland, and then for the second half of the weekend, so much windier weather affecting northern areas. it's saturday the 28th of january. our top story. a gunman has shot dead seven people — and injured three more — after opening fire in ajerusalem synagogue. the attacker, understood to be a 21—year—old palestinian man, was then killed by security forces at the scene. our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports. they came to pray as thejewish sabbath had just got under way. police were counting their bodies in the street. security forces say
9:03 am
the gunman arrived at the synagogue and opened fire. some people were hit in the panic to get out, say witnesses, before the attacker managed to escape and drove off. and then, the security forces shot him. this is just a few metres from where the shooting took place close to the synagogue. forensics teams and police now — looking at this car, you can clearly see the bullet holes on the driver's side. witnesses told the bbc the driver then managed to get out and run before being shot dead. translation: i heard shots, there were flashes, _ and then i saw a car here open, body of the terrorist down. he yelled, "allahu akbar." there's no security in the streets. we need to go down and find these terrorists, ruin their houses, take them out of israel. at the scene, the head of thejerusalem police said the attack was one of the worst israel has seen in years. translation: the attacker i

is a resident of east jerusalem. we are completing operations at the scene. right now, unfortunately, we are talking about seven people killed and another three seriously wounded. as the wounded were taken to hospital, police have closed off nearby areas, searching to see if anyone else is involved. a deadly attack on a jerusalem synagogue as the world marks international holocaust memorial day. it comes as tensions flare in the region. on thursday, nine palestinians were killed by israeli forces during a raid intojenin refugee camp in the occupied west bank. the dead included militants and at least two civilians, according to health officials. israel said it had acted on intelligence of imminent attacks by islamicjihad, a palestinian militant group, calling it a counterterror operation. in the aftermath, the group vowed to respond. several rockets were fired overnight

9:06 am
morning there's reports of another shooting with two people wounded, in another part of eastjerusalem, often a flashpoint neighbourhood because of the jewish settlers who have moved in there alongside palestinian residents. to man, one and a 205 and one in their 405, had been taken to hospital, and one is badly injured. it will add to the sense of the fears violence is spreading. we have got the police on a very high state of alert, they've made more than 40 arrests overnight in connection with the synagogue attack, some of the people involved are members of the man's family, the attacker�*s family, taken information from the police. they will be looking for anybody who may have helped the good man, although he acted alone at the scene. on top of that, ——
9:07 am
gunman. police saying they shouldn't take the law into their own hands. thank you. police in the us city of memphis have released graphic footage of the violent arrest that led to the death of 29—year—old tyre nichols. videos taken from officers' body cameras, show mr nichols being kicked and punched by five policemen, who have been sacked and charged with his murder. a warning — nada tawfik�*s report contains some distressing images. video of the incident is disturbing right from the start. everything about the officers's approach is aggressive in this initial traffic stop. taken aback, tyre nichols is heard protesting his innocence.
9:08 am
i didn't do anything! all right, all right, all right, all right. after officers wrestled him to the ground, he seems to comply with their commands. all right, i'm on the ground. lay down! but as this encounter continues, tyre nichols breaks away and fleas. the next videos capture the moment five black officers charged with his murderfind him, and what follows is extremely graphic. at this point, they surround him and brutalise him. repeatedly, they kick him in the head, struck him with a baton and punch him. in distress, he calls out for his mother. footage from later shows the officers talking to one another and recounting their version of events. tyre nichols was ultimately taken to the hospital in a critical condition and died three days later from his injuries. officials warned about the video's horrific nature in advance.
9:09 am
but nothing could prepare the people we met in memphis for what they would see. as a man of colour, it was extremely hard — because it could have been me. you know? i have been pulled over for speeding, you know? five, ten miles over — nothing excessive. but you never know what kind of situation that could turn into. nojustice! no peace! protests have been peaceful, perhaps a result of the family's call for calm and the fact that all five black police officers have been charged in tyre nichols's death. officials here knew they had to show there would be accountability or risk public outrage. in fact, after the video's release, the shelby police chief announced two deputies who responded to the scene had been relieved of duty. president biden said he was outraged and deeply pained by the video and echoed tyre nichols's family's calls for a peaceful protest. what is at stake here is, first of all, innocent people's lives, number one.
9:10 am
number two, it has a lot to say and do with the image of america. it is an image not helped by these videos. the need for police reform is again at the forefront of people's minds. nada tawfik, bbc news. a serving member of the british army has been charged with terrorism offences. 21—year—old daniel khalif from stafford will appear at westminster magistrates' court this morning. he is accused of trying to elicit information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism and is also charged with an explosives offence. the airline flybe has ceased trading and cancelled all flights after the company went into administration. a message on the website urged anyone due to fly with the firm not to travel to the airport and said flights wouldn't be rescheduled. celestina olulode reports.
9:11 am
news of the airline's collapse came in the early hours of this morning. passengers have now been advised not to turn up at airports. anybody with a ticket today, your flight will not be going. do not go to the airport unless you have a reservation for the different airline that you bought since the collapse of flybe. this is the second time the airline has gone into administration. in march 2020, flybe announced it would stop trading. 2,400 jobs were lost, in part because of the pandemic. but flights resumed in april last year. the uk's civil aviation authority says flybe's decision to stop trading will be distressing for all of its employees and customers. with the airline once operating up to 530 flights per week, there are concerns of significantjob losses. celestina olulode, bbc news. civil servants who had intended to lodge complaints against cabinet minister

dominic raab later pulled out due to fears about being identified. mr raab has denied allegations of bullying. our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, joins us now. good morning to you. these numbers have been building up, the numbers of accusations, which wasn't quite clear in earlier weeks. the pressure seems to be building now.- seems to be building now. dominic raab is the — seems to be building now. dominic raab is the justice _ seems to be building now. dominic raab is the justice secretary - seems to be building now. dominic raab is the justice secretary and i raab is thejustice secretary and the deputy prime minister, and i have been allegations of bullying relating to former stains in government. there are now eight formal complaints we know that had been made against them, they are being investigated by adam tolley kc . dominic raab denies allegations and believes he acted professionally throughout his government time. we know there were more civil servants
9:13 am
who were planning to make formal complaints against mr raab but decided not to when they found out as part of the process he will become aware of their identities. that is normal for investigation like this, standard practice you have to reveal your identity. adam tolley kc has been conducting interviews relating to mr raab's alleged behaviour, but we don't know when his final report will be completed. when it is, it will go to the prime minister rishi sunak, who will decide whether or not any action has to be taken. that is not the only potential ministerial headache he has, because we know from the recent news nadhim zahawi, the chair of the conservative party, is facing an independent investigation into his own previous tax affairs, relating to the fact he paid a settlement to hmrc while serving as chancellor. mr zahawi is
9:14 am
confident he has acted appropriate throughout this, but rishi sunak has said there are questions that need to be answered, so to independent investigations ongoing into serving cabinet ministers, and potentially to decisions rishi sunak will have to decisions rishi sunak will have to make in the not—too—distant future. the education secretary is urging teachers in england and wales to tell their headteachers if they're planning to strike on wednesday. gillian keegan made the request in a letter to the national education union, saying schools need advance warning to minimise disruption. teachers are not obliged to do so — and the neu said heads should plan for all union members to be on strike. passengers wanting to travel on the avanti west coast trainline today are likely to see major disruption, with many cancellations expected. avanti says the disruption is due to staff shortages and has encouraged commuters to travel on sunday instead, or claim a refund. this is not the first time that avanti west coast has caused disruption for its customers.

new zealand's prime minister, chris hipkins, has described flooding in the country's largest city, auckland, as unprecedented. at least three people have died and more than 100 have been rescued from flooded cars and homes. a seven—day state of emergency is in force across auckland. we know a lot of people like to take selfies — but now a bear in the us is following suit. this black bear — who lives in a national park in colorado — found a motion—detection camera and took a special interest in it, appearing to stop and pose for more than 400 snaps. 400 pictures in various situations. this is my favourite, this is a good

9:17 am
lincolnshire, but most of us staying cloudy. a few showers around, affecting the hebrides, highlands, orkney and shetland, and our temperatures close to average, about seven or eight celsius. overnight, the week whether phone continues to push southwards and we will see a bit of rain working into wales, nothing heavy, just a few spots. if few clearer spells across scotland and northern england, which could allow temperatures below freezing, but for most a frost free night, whatever just 4—6 c. but for most a frost free night, whateverjust 4—6 c. tomorrow is different, and area of low pressure pushing rain, strong winds, and also the winds are blowing more strongly, which means a better chance of sinks sunshine across east scotland and england. ahead of this band, we've got some strong winds, i don't scotland, gusts reaching 60 mph.

particularly blurry, but for the west of england, northern ireland and wales, very blowing, gales into the 405. the strong winds coming from the south—west direction, so quite mild, ii celsius for belfast, ten in cardiff and plymouth. the brisk winds will ease by monday, ridge of high pressure bringing many a fine day with some sunshine across east at aries. turning cloudy with rain in north—western areas. temperatures mild, 8—10 c, but it doesn't stay that way. into tuesday, the cold front is weak in terms of rainfall, but it will introduce colder air and strong winds in scotland, gales also beer gales. with the colder air, we will see some of the rain turned to snow on higher ground. turning mild,
9:19 am
temptress pushing into double figures. we will see some big swings and changes over the next few days. more than 162,000 children across england and wales are currently being raised by family members to prevent them being taken into care. they're known as kinship families, but they don't get the same level of financial or emotional support as foster families — something that charities are keen to change. emma glasbey reports. # twinkle, twinkle, little star. # how i wonder what you are.# so it was back in 2020. we got a phone call to say, can you go and pick your niece up? and i was told that we had to go and get there and then or she'd be going into care. we quickly realised that this is really serious. they were talking about adoption and then we were asked a couple of months later, would we take her on permanently?
9:20 am
and if we didn't, she'd be adopted and we'd never see heragain. katie is bringing up her niece at her home in west yorkshire. katie and her partner are special guardians, meaning they have parental responsibility. they didn't expect to he suddenly raising a child. but katie was shocked at the prospect of her niece being taken into care at eight months old. i was heartbroken. you know, me and my sister had grown up in care, so i was six when i was adopted. so i have a lot of memories of growing up in different households, and i wasjust terrified for her that she wouldn't know anybody. she would think that she wasn't wanted. they don't receive any financial allowances. katie says kinship carers like grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins save local councils huge sums of money but don't get enough help. they need to have the practical support, so the emotional
9:21 am
support needs to be there. they need access to training, up—skilling. there's also the financial support. we both work full time, so obviously she needs to go into nursery. the cost of nursery is massive. and again, you're not prepared for the fact that suddenly you've got to find six, £700 a month. now, an independent review into children's social care carried out for the government has recommended that kinship carers receive the same allowances as foster carers. the kinship charity says it needs to happen to prevent a crisis. they've been crying out for this change and there have been kinship families and carers who have campaigned for years and years and years to get these kind of changes. and we're slowly seeing some improvements with local authorities. but what we really need now is for the government to step up and be a leader and be a pioneer and support local authorities with the right funding and the right flexibility they need to make kinship care a reality for everyone across the country.
9:22 am
for katie and her niece, they were always close. now their bond is stronger than ever. but there have been big sacrifices. we had plans to have children. those plans are still on hold. i don't know if we'll ever be able to afford to have a baby. my niece has got to come first. but, you know, me and mark deserve our life as well. so hopefully, at some point in the future. kinship carers like katie believe now should be a turning point as they wait to hear how the government responds to the calls for more support for their families. emma glasby, bbc news. we're joined now by the actorjay kontzle, who was raised by his grandparents after the death of his mother when he was just four years old.
9:23 am
good morning to you. you know this first—hand, and you are working actively to make sure kinship carers are recognised more. tell me why. so, i was raised by my grandparents might, and i didn't really understand what they went through in the process they went through to get custody over me and how much money it would cost, and how much money goes into it, you don't understand it, especially at the hr was, i was four years old. —— at the age i was. it was information i came across over the past few months, and ijust thought, this is new to me, i am sure it's new to everybody else, the fact kinship carers don't get support and dugout financial support or advice. support and dugout financial support oradvice. i

9:25 am
i had the best light i could possibly have. this is the case for a number of children. we've all been through traumatic abounds and we are trying to give these children the best lines they can possibly have, and give these kids opportunities to become the best people they can be. it is charlie, we saw some lovely images of you and your grandparents when you are younger. the reason they did it, and this will be the same for all families, they are doing it for love, because taylor but shall be looking after. do you think in a way it is almost a taken advantage of because they would do it anyway, whether they get financial help or not? so somehow, the system lets it happen? yes. financial help or not? so somehow, the system lets it happen? yes, this
9:26 am
is the thing. — the system lets it happen? yes, this is the thing, kinship _ the system lets it happen? yes, this is the thing, kinship carers - the system lets it happen? yes, this is the thing, kinship carers get i is the thing, kinship carers get overlooked and this is why it needs to be changed. you are expected to love a child, expected to put your time and effort in, but when you are taken on a child which isn't yours, it is not your so nor daughter, it is a huge life change. it is difficult enough, i've got three kids of my own, it is hard work. then to take on another child yourself, it is a huge change in yourself, it is a huge change in your life. what you are doing is taking on emotional stress, a lot of stuff that's gone on in the past. i think it is really important you have an understanding of how to manage that because you are dealing with stress and loss yourself, because that is a family member you've lost, or something has happened which would have affected you. you need to be able to manage it and understand it. it is
9:27 am
important to get the advice and information you need to help these children i get the training fluently, so you get it quarterly, you get top ups, to understand how to manage certain emotions and different stations of a child's live that isn't yours. i think that is important. foster carers do get that, and we just needed to be a level playing field. as we've mentioned, there are 162,000 children in kinship care, and these have been through traumatic events, and i personally feel within your family, you're the best support, because not only are you getting the genuine love, you are getting background and history, g feel a sense of purpose because you are part of that family, understanding who you are, where your personality
9:28 am
traits come through. you are not part with a family and asked to mould into it, their personalities and their as backs and where they want you to be. you are part of your own family, which is critical. you don't feel that nickel act, you feel part of the family —— feel that neglect. this is notjust about today's children, this is creating futures, getting these children to be the best they can. we should be strengthening a nation and get the best individuals we possibly can. if you are stopping it from happening because we aren't providing the help, then it is obviously... we will lead into darker places for some of these kids. luckily, i was a good example of how kinship care does work, and there are so many other kids who get support and love
9:29 am
from their kinship carers, i do sometimes get overlooked that we don't appreciate the time and effort that goes into with little help from the government.— that goes into with little help from the government. your passion shines throuah, i the government. your passion shines through, i appreciate _ the government. your passion shines through, i appreciate you _ the government. your passion shines through, i appreciate you sharing i through, i appreciate you sharing your own personal story. thank you so much. i should stay, the department for education spokesperson says all the child deserves a loving home, we will publish our ambitious reform plans for social care, which will include how kinship carers are supported. it isjust coming up how kinship carers are supported. it is just coming up to 930. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. are you well? very well. what is cominu are you well? very well. what is coming up? _ are you well? very well. what is coming up? we've _ are you well? very well. what is coming up? we've got— are you well? very well. what is coming up? we've got robson i are you well? very well. what is i coming up? we've got robson green. are you well? very well. what is - coming up? we've got robson green. i

9:37 am
the decision as to whether or not they are released is taken by the parole board after they have served a minimum sentence that the judge imposed. in russell causley�*s case, that decision was taken several times before he breached the parole conditions, and on this occasion the parole board looked at psychological evidence, evidence from people who work with him, evidence about the risk that he offers or may offer. and what plans were in place to mitigate that risk. and they have formed the view based on all of that that he can be released at this stage. that won't be without conditions and neither will it be indefinitely. at some point, as he has done before, he may breach those conditions and be returned to prison. sometimes a lot sounds heartless and this is an example of that. if i have lost a loved one, as they have, you would think he should pay for the rest of his life. but i think the law sometimes has to use
9:38 am
brain. this is one of those situations where you cannot really win. there will be some people who are upset. what is important and what was really good about this case is that we had the very first public hearing, so the gillingham is were able to hear what was being said, heard by the parole board, and may be the decision hasn't been communicated happily which is why they feel how they do. but at the same time, they need to be given support in this process, which previously was not available to people in such circumstances. so the decision is the right decision. it doesn't feel right because they don't feel that justice doesn't feel right because they don't feel thatjustice has been done. but we have decided as a country that we do not want people in prison for all of their lives when they kill someone. you have exlained when they kill someone. you have exoiained that _ when they kill someone. you have explained that very _ when they kill someone. you have explained that very clearly - when they kill someone. you have explained that very clearly and - when they kill someone. you have explained that very clearly and of| explained that very clearly and of course _ explained that very clearly and of course there are emotions involved. but there _ course there are emotions involved. but there have also been moves before _ but there have also been moves before to — but there have also been moves before to try to get murderers to reveal— before to try to get murderers to

9:40 am
responsibility how could you possibly be rehabilitated? the first thing to be able to do is accept responsibility before you start being rehabilitated. but the judgment was made by the parole board here that he has said enough about his guilt in this case, namely he has said that he had taken part in the burning of the body for example. and there was overwhelming evidence that led to the conviction. they formed a view that regardless of what he may have said or may have said publicly that he has provided sufficient evidence to them that he accepts responsibility. and of course, the rehabilitation will take account of that as it moves forward. but i am with the gillingham is on this, as i would be with anyone in this, as i would be with anyone in this situation, that you would have expected him to put his hands up entirely to say yes, this is me, this is why i did it. and also, this is where the body is if he is able to do that. before they should

9:42 am
time, winning the the final this morning in straight sets against the i6—year—old japanese star takito oda just a day after he was crowned doubles champion with gordon reid for the lith time in a row. but the singles title had eluded him, until now. it's been a long time coming, a lot of hard work. to lose this tournament in the final for the last couple of years was heartbreaking and mentally challenging, so to get the opportunity to be back here and play another singles final was something that obviously i was extremely motivated for, really delighted to be able to get over the line this time. it is a massive weight off my shoulders. now to the football, and arsenal will refocus on winning the premier league now, after they were knocked out of the fa cup, by their nearest rivals, second placed manchester city. this was a much anticipated first meeting of the season, between the two front runners, and arsenal's new signing leandro trossard, would have broken the deadlock, but the hand of city

keeper, stefan ortega. it was a really close game, and was going to need something special to decide it — not quite kevin de broiner. but jack grealish, had the keys to unlock the arsenal defence, and what a finish from nathan akey to poke city into round five. there are 11 more fa cup games today. if you're looking for cup upsets you might not have long to wait. walsall, of league 2, might fancy their chances, of bringing down leicester city, on the red button from 12:20 and live on bbc one at 12:30. accrington stanley of league one, welcome premier league leeds united, who have a recent history of being humbled. so there are reasons for accrington to be confident as they welcome leeds to the wham stadium, trying to reach the edge of footballing heaven. that's the best wham—related song we could think of. but stanley can draw inspiration from histon, sutton, newport county, rochdale, and most recently league 2 crawley, who've all claimed the scalp of leeds. it has been a massive day for my family, who all came to watch.

england's cricketers are kicking themselves, after throwing away, their first one—day international against south africa after being in a great position, in bloemfontein. set a total of 299 to win, england jason roy, hit a century, which powered his side to 146 without loss, but when he was out, there was a complete batting collaspe, and they fell 27 runs short. the second of three matches is tomorrow. a world cup final beckons for england's youngsters, who are through to the women's under 19 final against india, after a narrow win over australia. it had looked like ending in disappointment, when australia were on course to make their meagre target of 100, but thanks to hannah baker taking the last six aussie wickets for just a0 runs, england sealed a place, in tomorrow's final. next to history on ice. matt weston has become
9:46 am
great britain's first men's skeleton world champion, in 15 years after winning in st moritz. weston finished an astonishing 1.79 seconds ahead of his nearest rival, in switzerland. he's 25, and becomes only the second british man to win a world skeleton title, joining kristan bromley, who triumphed in altenberg in 2008. onto rugby union and the premiership leaders saracens, host bristol this afternoon with their lead now down to four points, after sale sharks, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat having led bath by 19 points moments before half—time, sale found themselves staring at a loss — until the final move of the match when arron reed's late try was enough to secure a thrilling bonus point win. the victory helps cement, their position in second place. in the united rugby championship, there was no drama for ulster as they comfortably beat the stormers of south africa 35—5 to movejust two points behind them in third place. there was also a victory for scarlets over south african opposition, as they upset the bulls 37—28 for just their fourth win of a disappoionting campaign.
9:47 am
the rugby football union has apologised for the way it handled news that it plans to introduce radical new tackle laws in england. in a bid to reduce the number of concussions in the game, from next season, players will have to tackle below the waist rather than below the shoulders — for now this will apply to community level games, downwards. but the proposal has faced a backlash from numerous clubs, players, coaches and officials. our reporter, lewis coombes has visited chichester rugby club to find out more. since rugby's inception, players have tackled like this. but from next season, they will have to lower the height of impact, a move the rfu say will reduce the risk of head injury. how different is it, to have to aim lower — like, for you, as a technique? it is harder to get lower, so, yeah. it's going to really change the game a lot. the change in law has been met with a lot of opposition from the rugby community. i myself have been concussed about three or four times.
9:48 am
all of those came from knees or hips, i don't know how it will stop concussions. i don't think you ever will. it's a very physical game. i don't think there will be a massive drop in concussion cases. i don't want to be hitting a six foot five player around the knees, that will cause a lot of damage for me. the rfu say six years of studies have delivered strong data—led evidence to support the move. a trial in the sixth tier of french rugby also reported a fall in suspected concussion cases, and world rugby has also suggested it could follow suit at elite level in the coming years. concussion protocols that have been processed over the last years have come in for a valid reason. head injuries were not as understood as they are now and we need to lower that. the game has been involved in change and we need to make it safer. but we do need to still be a physically intense and impactful game that people want to watch,
9:49 am
because it is drama unfolding in front of you. getting that balance is a difficult challenge that the rfu have to reckon with. a petition calling for the rfu to reverse the decision has amassed more than 75,000 signatures, with a lot of confusion surrounding the definition of the term "waist height." if the rfu came back and said, you know what, it's not technically waist height, waist height we define asjust below the sternum, would that be a compromise for you? i think it's poor communication full stop. the way it has been worded thus far is frustrating, disappointing and quite insulting to the players of the game that we have not been involved in consulting this. not a single thing has been mentioned in my sphere of rugby, be it here at the club or by representatives of the armed forces. the rfu say that detailed guidelines will be sent out to players, coaches and referees, giving the game time to prepare ahead of the new season. the question is just how different that game will be.
9:50 am
there is no question the intention is right. but obviously they will take the feedback on what from those who play the games. on those trials, it seems to have worked in france to reduce the levels of concoction incidents. �* reduce the levels of concoction incidents-— reduce the levels of concoction incidents. . ., ~ , incidents. and if it makes it safer, that is always _ incidents. and if it makes it safer, that is always a _ incidents. and if it makes it safer, that is always a good _ incidents. and if it makes it safer, that is always a good thing. - here's chris with a look at this morning's weather. the weather watchers have really been rewarding us with some beautiful pictures today? they always step up for us at the weekend. some beautiful colours in nairn in highland. the brightest weather today is to the north of this cold front. scotland and northern ireland, into this relatively bright skies. england and wales, a lot of cloud. there have been some breaks across yorkshire and lincolnshire, but predominantly quite a cloudy day across the southern areas. that weak cold front bringing a few spots of rain,

nothing significant across north—west england and north wales through today. temperatures close to average for the time of year. highs of seven or eight celsius. showers around affecting the hebrides, highland, orkney and shetland, and will continue every night. at the same time, patches of rain into wales and south—west england. a mostly dry at night. a lot of cloud around. for most, frost free. there could be one or two areas that dip down below freezing. tomorrow, a different day. we are looking at an area of low pressure bringing this weather front and north—western areas. some stronger winds, and as they run over the high ground to the east of the high ground the cloud breaks. more sunshine for east scotland, eastern england, east wales, across the midlands as well. just ahead of the weather front it gets really quite windy. gusts of 60
9:52 am
odd miles an hour in scotland. particularly blowing here ahead of that weather band. generally gusts into the a0 mph, but noticeably windy. the wind is quite mild, temperatures 12 in aberdeen and ii in belfast, and ten for cardiff and plymouth. the winds will come down as we head into monday thanks to this ridge of high pressure moving on from the west. it will break the cloud up over eastern areas but in the west it turns cloudy with some spots of rain into the north—west towards the end of the day. tell mild, temperatures 8—10 for most on monday, but then we get some colder airfor a time monday, but then we get some colder airfora time into monday, but then we get some colder air for a time into tuesday. monday, but then we get some colder airfor a time into tuesday. this cold front pushes southwards. not much rain on that but colder air follows and some strong winds for a time working into scotland. without colder air, time working into scotland. without colderair, in time working into scotland. without colder air, in tuesday in scotland we are looking at some of the rain turning to snow. but i think it is going to be over some of the hilly areas. at lower elevations, some
