good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... thousands more hospital beds and hundreds of new ambulances — the government sets out a £1 billion plan to improve nhs emergency care in england. it comes as the prime minister tries to move on from the row over nadhim zahawi's tax affairs — opposition parties said he should have sacked his party chairman sooner. vladimir putin's threat to borisjohnson, on the eve of russia's invasion of ukraine. the former prime minister recounts their conversation in a new bbc documentary.

he threatened me at one point and said, "you know, boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute," or something like that. it's another big week of industrial action from teachers, rail workers, and civil servants. we'll let you know how you might be affected. there was to be no hollywood ending for actor and wrexham co—owner ryan reynolds, whose side came close to a memorable fa cup upset. welcome to you, me and the big c live! whoo. a special episode of a very special podcast — you, me and the big c — celebrates the life and legacy of two of its former hosts. good morning. for many of us today it will be dry with sunny spells, strong winds and showers from this morning evening. later the cloud will come in from the north—west, introducing some rain. all the details throughout the programme.

it's monday, the 30th of january. our main story. 5,000 extra hospital beds and 800 new ambulances will be rolled out in england this year in a bid to tackle the long emergency care delays. details of the £1 billion investment will be set out later by the government and nhs england. 0ur health correspondent jim reed reports. ambulance staff are waiting with their patients to come to the emergency department cubicles, which are currently full. record waits in a&e. trolleys lining up in packed corridors, queues of ambulances stuck outside busy hospitals with their patients. doctors say this winter has been the worst in a generation. today sees a new plan to try to tackle some of these problems. by next winter, there should be 5000 more permanent hospital beds in england — an increase of around 5%. 800 new ambulances will be purchased — around half of those to replace older vehicles. and there will be a new push to get people who are well enough

out of hospital more quickly. our plan is based on three things. it's based on increasing capacity in hospital and ambulance services, increasing capacity in the community so people can be looked after in their own home. ensuring patients, who are medically fit to go home, aren't kept in a hospital for any longer than they need to be, and crucially, making sure we're growing the workforce to support that. hello, sir. how are you? one idea is to expand virtual wards, where patients are monitored remotely at home rather than in hospital. just lean backwards for me. more physio and rehab work could also be carried out in the community to free up bed space. the money to pay for all this will come out of funds already promised last autumn. but labour said waiting time targets were being watered down as part of the plan and groups representing nurses and nhs trusts said they had worries about the staff needed to make it work. this announcement is rolling out

some tried and tested ideas and expanding them, so they can have greater impact. so virtual wards, hospital at home, all of these initiatives are very important. integrated care, for example. but what we do need to be clear about is that you can't simply roll out these services without adequate workforce available, and that's our main concern. this plan only applies to england, though some of the same ideas are being tried in scotland, wales and northern ireland. doctors say swift action is needed now to avoid a repeat of scenes like this next winter. jim reed, bbc news. meanwhile, the prime minister is facing questions over his sacking of nadhim zahawi as party chairman — more than a week after questions were raised over his tax affairs. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent, nick eardley.

good morning. i guess rishi sunak very keen to move on from the zahawi affair with this health announcement today. i affair with this health announcement toda . ~ ~ , today. i think the prime minister will want to _ today. i think the prime minister will want to move _ today. i think the prime minister will want to move on _ today. i think the prime minister will want to move on from - today. i think the prime minister will want to move on from this. | today. i think the prime minister. will want to move on from this. he is still facing and will face questions about why he did not act sooner when it came to nadhim zahawi. the report yesterday was quick pretty devastating. it criticised mr zahawi that he did not declare when he was a minister he was facing an investigation from hmrc, not declaring he faced a penalty when he was chancellor and then at various different stages. i think the question the prime minister will face is should he have acted a bit sooner on this? we knew last week for example, we were talking last week on monday on breakfast that mr zahawi had paid that penalty. if that is the case, why didn't the prime minister decide

at the time he needed to go? the case you're going to hear from opposition parties is the prime minister is too weak, he is not ruthless enough, he waits too long to make the decisions. the argument you will hearfrom to make the decisions. the argument you will hear from the prime minister is actually you need to let you process play out, let mr zahawi put his pace across, and are the independent adviser on ethics to look into the facts of the case and make his decision. the biggest problem the prime minister has in all of this, he made integrity and professionalism and standards a big thing for his government when he became prime minister that it is proving quite difficult, actually, to shake off some of the scandals we have seen in the last years. remember that gavin williamson resigned after accusations of bullying just after rishi sunak made him minister. remember suella

braverman, the home secretary, caused controversy. she got herjob back despite having been found to have broken the ministerial code. dominic raab is still being investigated over allegations of bullying, which he denies. that report is due to come back in the next p weeks. despite talk of a new broom under rishi sunak, although he insists he cares a lot about professionalism and integrity, he will say he acted quickly to sack nadhim zahawi after getting a report from his ethics adviser. he still does face questions about how much he is leading up to his promises. thank you. a 16—year—old boy will appear in court today charged with the murder of a teenage girl who was stabbed to death in northumberland. holly newton, who was 15, was fatally wounded in hexham on friday afternoon. the boy, who can't be named, will appear before magistrates in newcastle. a ballot for strikes

by firefighters and control room staff closes later. if members of the fire brigades union vote for action, the uk will see its first nationwide fire service strike over pay since 2003. members rejected a 5% pay offer last november. journalists will be allowed to report on proceedings in some family courts from today. it's a year—long pilot in leeds, cardiff and carlisle, with strict rules to protect the anonymity of families involved. the family court division and campaigners hope it will lead to greater transparency about decisions the court makes. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is travelling tojerusalem today amid rising tensions between israel and the palestinians. he'll meet both sides — separately — following one of the deadliest weeks for the two countries in more than a decade. 0ur middle east correspondent anna foster is injerusalem. anna, why are tensions so high at the moment?

morning. a lot of this is because of team aqua particularly deadly incidents which happened in the last week. the first on thursday when israeli defence forces made a raid into a refugee camp in the occupied west bank. they said they received information of a potential terror plot that was being hatched. ten people were killed, the majority militants that some civilians as well. then friday, on holocaust remembrance day, several israeli worshippers, jewish worshippers, were killed outside a synagogue in occupied jerusalem by a 21—year—old palestinian gunman who appeared to be acting alone. those incidents have raised tension ahead of this visit, which has been planned for several weeks. visit, which has been planned for severalweeks. it visit, which has been planned for several weeks. it will be very high on the agenda when anthony blinky and sits down with the israeli prime minister and tomorrow with the

palestinian president. the us state department has made it very clear that what they will be talking about is de—escalation. they want to try to calm things down in this part of the middle east. they see it as vitally important. they will be appealing to israel's new right—wing government and to the palestinians to try to resolve the differences they have. this is a long—running conflict. he will have a very big job on his hands to try to get some calm, which is what he is aiming for in the next few months.— emergency workers in the ukrainian city of kharkiv are searching the rubble of a residential building that was hit by a russian missile strike. at least one person was killed in the late—night attack, which followed a day of intensified bombardment of the south and east of ukraine. the parents of a young woman, who died after taking a highly toxic chemical which is sold illegally in diet pills, will meet

government ministers today, ahead of it being reclassified as a poison. bethany shipsey died in 2017, aged 21, after she purchased pills containing dnp online. her father says she was failed by the government but ministers say they have now taken steps to ensure controls are in place, as rhaya barton reports. bethany shipsey was just 21 when she ingested the dnp that would kill her. she had been raped and had a history of overdose. but no—one in the hospital in february 2017 was prepared for the effects of dnp. there's no antidote, and herfather has campaigned for greater awareness ever since. the body heats up to an extent where they're like... literally like an athlete running an 0lympics, where eventually, unfortunately, they go into cardiac arrest. their body can't

withstand it anymore. so that's no reason to thank the minister for what should have already been prevented happening in the first place. bought over the internet as a slimming aid, there were no controls other than the food standards agency treating it as not fit for human consumption. mr shipsey�*s campaign took him to confront the man, who sold her the dnp from ukraine. who is this? you sold her the dnp that killed her. i watched her die in hospital in four hours. i'm really sorry if i could do anything. if i could, at that moment, if i knew. firing. but as well as a poison, dnp is also an explosive — a highly dangerous substance that should have been on the statute book. the government will now class it as a poison. look at the green eyes. absolutely amazing.

totally natural. but for mr shipsey, after 32 deaths, it's not enough. what we'd actually like to see now, immediately, is a ban on dnp. we're aware that other countries, for example, australia and russia, have applied bans for any uses — based on the number of deaths in the uk, which is quite ironic. unfortunately, the uk has the highest number of deaths. bethany�*s legacy means that from next year only a pharmacist can sell dnp and only to someone with an explosives licence in the hope that no more young people will lose their lives. rhaya barton, bbc news. more heavy rain is expected in new zealand after floods in which at least four people have died. the country has been battered by heavy rain since friday and a state of emergency was declared in auckland. the weather service says more floods are likely.

it has been shocking now, hasn't it? they have had a whole summer's worth of rain injust one hour! it's 6:14am. now the weather with carol. what we have today that will become a feature of the weather later on is wind. it will strengthen as we go through the next couple of days. some of us will have gales, even severe gales. the winds will ease this morning as will the showers. many of us will have sunny spells. still the north of the country, they will ease. showers in scotland, northern ireland and england. many of those will ease. a lot of dry weather. laterthe of those will ease. a lot of dry weather. later the cloud will thicken in the west and we will start to sit the arrival of some rain, more especially this evening and overnight. as the rain moves

across scotland and northern ireland it will be heavy in places. as it pushes into england and wales through the night it will weaken. a header that temperatures could double as double as low as freezing. in parts of the south and south—east there might be a touch of frost the first thing. behind the weather front there will be showers coming in and the wind will strengthen. there will be gales commenced severe gales by the end of the afternoon in the north and north—west of the country. south, the winds will not be as strong and there will be sunshine around. it will be a pleasant in the sunshine with highs of up to 12 degrees. into tuesday, and wednesday morning, the winds will ramp up with gales in excess of

20 miles an alibi potentially damaging guests. thank you. —— 20 miles an hour. the former prime minister boris johnson has told the bbc how he felt vladimir putin had personally threatened him in the run—up to russia's invasion of ukraine. mrjohnson said that during a telephone call, the russian president told him that it would "only take a minute" to hurt him with a missile. he made the revelation in a new bbc documentary series about mr putin's leadership. here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. kyiv, last february — a city on the brink of war. borisjohnson arrives in a show of support for a president who is yet to replace his suit and tie with army fatigues. alongside other countries, we are also preparing a package of sanctions and other measures. the prime minister publicly urges russia not to invade, prompting an astonishing reaction

from president putin. i get back from kyiv and, the following day, i've got putin on the blower again. and this is a very long call and a most extraordinary call. he was being very, very familiar. mrjohnson told him invading ukraine would mean more nato forces on his border. he said, "boris, you say that ukraine is not going tojoin nato any time soon." he said it in english — "any time soon". "what is any time soon?" and i said, "well, it's not going to join nato for the foreseeable future." and then this. you know, he threatened me at one point and said, you know, "boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute" — or something like that, you know. you know, jolly. but i think from the very relaxed tone that he was taking —

the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate. the following week, the defence secretary flew to moscow to meet russian military chiefs, where, he says, they lied to him about their plans for ukraine. i remember saying to minister shoigu that they will fight. and he said, "my mother's ukrainian — you know, they won't." he also said he had no intention of invading. i think that would be "vranyo" in the russian language. vranyo, i think is a sort of demonstration of bullying or strength, which is "i'm going to lie to you. you know, i'm lying. i know you know i'm lying and i'm still going to lie to you." it was the fairly chilling but direct lie of what they were not going to do that, i think, to me, confirmed they were going to do it.

and he was right. within days, the invasion began, as russia unleashed a barrage of missiles on targets across ukraine and its tanks and troops stormed across the border. james landale, bbc news. you can watch the first episode of putin versus the west tonight at 9pm on bbc two. all three episodes are available on the bbc iplayer. the director of the whole series will be joining the director of the whole series will bejoining us on breakfastjust after nine o'clock this morning. let's take a look at today's papers. and the sacking of nadhim zahawi as conservative party chairman dominates most of the front pages this morning. "rotten to the core" is the mirror's headline — the paper also criticises the prime minister for what it calls "failing to do the right thing earlier." the daily mail reports on borisjohnson�*s claim that vladimir putin threatened to assassinate him following a trip to kyiv. the times looks ahead

to the teachers' strikes taking place this week, saying "millions" of pupils will miss school. maybe they could do this instead. and one of the most watched videos on the bbc news website shows the competitive sport of rubik's cubing. hundreds of cubers have descended on glasgow for a three—day competition, racing against the clock and each other. a couple of stories from the inside pages. damon esther rantzen, this fashion in the times. she said she has lung cancer. she has decided to share that news with all of us. she said the diagnosis came only recently under cancer has spread. i find it difficult to go around hospitals wearing an unconvincing surprise. she decided she wanted to talk about it. this is a gorgeous statement. she pays tribute to her family, particularly france former colleagues for their tolerance of

her wild ideas and awfuljokes. at the moment she is waiting to find out what the best treatment is for her. she is 82. she says she is feeling optimistic and positive about the treatments that are available. this is a fascinating story. this chap, chris dennis, he lives in cambridgeshire. lost his phone and discovered while it was taken by mystery person someone that football bets on his phone. when he got his phone back he discovered the mystery person had won him 650 quid, the bets had come in successfully. he wants to share the winnings with the person who took the phone. i would be keeping the money! 0ne the person who took the phone. i would be keeping the money! one key thing to share with you before we move on. we had talked a lot about guide dogs and a shortage of guide dogs. 0ur correspondent is making

for his guide dog at the moment. this is the picture of the first letter of the year. a little bit of cuteness, a bit of hope on the horizon. yellow labrador puppies. they are three weeks old and will be life changing for the people who will get them, particularly that one. what is going on? how can you choose? not entirely sure what is going on. we had talked about the shortage of guide dogs with covid. hopefully that will be the first of several letters this year. a group of mps is calling for a compensation scheme for nhs staff, who are unable to work because they are living with long covid. a panorama investigation has found that some are now starting to lose theirjobs, while others are dropping on to half pay. our health correspondent catherine burns has the details. we clapped for them every thursday. now some health workers say

they feel abandoned. for me, it's a living, breathing beast. we've had to sell the family home. i looked at the future and i think, "is this going to be me forever?"| rachel is a nurse at a community hospital in devon, but she's not been to work for more than two years. there are days when i honestly can't even get out of the house. rachel has long covid with symptoms ranging from chest pain and brain fog to hearing loss and heart issues. when the pandemic first started, new sick pay rules came in for many nhs staff. if they got coronavirus or long covid, they could be paid in full until they got better. but that has changed. now they're being treated like anyone else and some face going on to half pay in march. can't do that now. rachel says she'll lose £1,000 a month. so how worried are you about money? really worried. i do appreciate the nhs can't pay us forever, but there's hope we can actually bring something back

to the nhs again, you know? the torbay and south devon nhs foundation trust says it can't comment because there's a legal claim. it says it's extremely grateful to staff, who worked tirelessly during the pandemic. bbc panorama has tried to assess how many staff are off sick with long covid. the nhs in england and wales don't record this. northern ireland does and says 0.6% of its workforce is off with it. for scotland, its 0.3%. if those rates were reflected across the uk, it could mean between 5,000 and 10,000 nhs staff absent. we have this group of people — they're just in a no man's land. we don't have the support for her and actually that genuinely makes me angry. brenda eadie is a nurse. she has long covid and is losing herjob. i'd done what was asked of me.

i went into the frontline — i'd done myjob and now i'm just collateral damage. she'd hoped to get early retirement on the grounds of ill health, but says before she applied she was given notice. i got a phone call from a manager to let me know that a letter was coming in the post — not to panic when i seen it. and it was my termination of employment. and i wasjust like, "oh, 0k. what do i do now then?" brenda's employers say they ensure all hr policies, which are set at a national level, are followed at all times and they do not recognise a number of points she has made. a cross—party group of politicians are calling for compensation for health workers with long covid. we are falling behind our peers in our recognition of this as a real disease that needs proper recognition and compensation. so all those frontline workers that we clap for on a thursday, especially the ones

who have lost theirjob, and don't have any money, now, have something that they can fall back on. nhs guidelines encourage managers to test all options to get staff back to work. the government says it will respond openly to the covid 19 public inquiry. it could take years to complete. i have always been in the nhs but, on this occasion, the nhs let me down. catherine burns, bbc news. bbc panorama forgotten heroes of the covid front line is on bbc iplayer now and on bbc one at 8pm tonight. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. staff who lost their jobs at the weekend due to the collapse of the airline flybe have been advised to apply for roles with easyjet and ryanair.

the airline went into administration on saturday with the loss of over 250 jobs. the budget airlines operating from gatwick, luton and stansted said they have vacancies pilots, engineers, ground staff and cabin crew — and are encouraging out of work flybe staff to apply. police are still appealing for information and witnesses to comes forward after a man was stabbed at harrods in knightsbridge. it followed a fight on saturday evening, leaving a 29—year—old with stab and slash wounds. he was taken to hospital and isn't in a life—threatening condition. no arrests have been made and officers are studying cctv footage. with the ultra low emission zone expansion around seven months away, some drivers may be able to get up to £2000 for their old car from today. the scrappage scheme is aimed at getting higher polluting vehicles off london's roads, and drivers can apply online for the payment

from this morning. it's for people on low incomes, disability benefits and for eligible businesses employing fewer than ten people. over a £100 million has been set aside for the payments. there's a billion—pound tunnel being built across london, which you probably won't know about. it's a power tunnel stretching 20 miles from wimbledon to bexley and its purpose is to supply electricity to the capital in the future. this tunnelling project is replacing circuits that were commissioned in 1967. they will allow us to uprate the circuits to facilitate future demand. so that will come from things like electric vehicles and the volume of residential development and the residential energy load that comes with that. let's take a look at the tubes now. looking really good. can't remember it last look like that on a monday

morning. good morning. we start the day in mid single figures celsius feeling a little less cold. today it's dry, it's fine, we've got plenty of winter sunshine. now the wind is fairly light but it's a northwesterly, a little bit of patchy cloud. but as i said, lots of sunshine today and temperatures reaching a maximum of 10c. so we're back up in double figures. into this evening, the first part at least, it's dry and it's clear. through the middle part of the night, though, our next front just starts to sweep across and that's going to bring some more cloud. also the wind is going to strengthen through the night as well. the could bring the odd spot of light rain as we head through to tuesday morning. the minimum temperature still chilly at around 2c. so a cloudier start tomorrow morning. we might get a spot or two of rain. low pressure to the north of scotland. that front, however, clears through tuesday afternoon. it's still going to be quite breezy. a northwesterly wind, but we'll see some sunshine later on in the day and temperatures tomorrow getting up potentially to 12 celsius. that's it from me for now.

i'll be back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 6.30. coming up on today's programme. the actor and comedian emily atack has lifted the lid on the sexual harassment she receives online every day — she'll be on the sofa to tell us more. strictly stars karen and gorka will be here for a chat about their stage show with extra sizzle — firedance. it's called the electron. from ancient acorns to your nan�*s nintendo —

we'll visit a new museum devoted to old pcs and gaming consoles. our top story this morning is a billion—pound plan to improve nhs emergency care in england — but labour has accused ministers of watering down standards of patient safety. we're joined now by the shadow trade secretary nick thomas—symonds. good morning. the headlines. hundreds of new ambulances, potentially 5000 more hospital beds. £1 billion. not to argue with that, is it? i £1 billion. not to argue with that, is it? ., ., , is it? i do not trust the conservatives - is it? i do not trust the conservatives to - is it? i do not trust the conservatives to deal i is it? i do not trust the i conservatives to deal with is it? i do not trust the - conservatives to deal with the crisis in the nhs. it is rather like asking the arsonist to put out the fire they have created. we seem to have come a long way since the conservative promise of a0 new hospitals, to promising what they

are today, which is hospitals at home. our national health service is in a dreadful state as a consequence of 13 years that the conservatives have had to get this right. what they should be doing is seeing the pressure the nhs staff are under and then recruiting the staff the nhs needs. that, iam then recruiting the staff the nhs needs. that, i am afraid, then recruiting the staff the nhs needs. that, iam afraid, is then recruiting the staff the nhs needs. that, i am afraid, is where there is a gaping hole in what the conservatives promise. you mention the hospitals — conservatives promise. you mention the hospitals at _ conservatives promise. you mention the hospitals at home _ conservatives promise. you mention the hospitals at home idea _ conservatives promise. you mention the hospitals at home idea when - the hospitals at home idea when people are treated at home, monitored from hospital, or visited by community nhs staff. is that not something labour would support? we can something labour would support? - can move towards that but to make that possible you need nurses out in the community to do it. you need more nurses to do it. that is what labour is promising to do, to recruit the additional, each year

7500 new doctors, 10,000 new nurses. the way we would pay for that is to abolish the so—called non—domicile tax status. a simple principle that if you live in this country, you should pay your taxes here. that is the choice labour in power would make. that is the choice that this government should make. if you are to make that idea of additional care and homework in practice. your critics say _ and homework in practice. your critics say that _ and homework in practice. your critics say that scrapping - critics say that scrapping non—domicile status would not bring in enough money to do the things you want to do in the nhs. that in enough money to do the things you want to do in the nhs.— want to do in the nhs. that is not correct. want to do in the nhs. that is not correct- that _ want to do in the nhs. that is not correct. that would _ want to do in the nhs. that is not correct. that would bring - want to do in the nhs. that is not correct. that would bring in - want to do in the nhs. that is not correct. that would bring in over i want to do in the nhs. that is not i correct. that would bring in over £3 billion. the cost we are talking about in terms of the additional nhs staff is around half of it. that promise is one. people at home can be reassured about, it is costed. it

is a real choice labour in government would make. ending unfairness in the tax system. and at the same time putting money to exactly where it is needed on the nhs front line. i exactly where it is needed on the nhs front line.— nhs front line. i suppose the government _ nhs front line. i suppose the government would _ nhs front line. i suppose the government would say - nhs front line. i suppose the government would say we . nhs front line. i suppose the i government would say we need nhs front line. i suppose the - government would say we need to train more doctors and recruit more staff in the longer term. what they are proposing today is to get us through the end of this winter and the beginning of next winter. and that there will be other strategies to deal with the longer term. nobody is sa in: to deal with the longer term. nobody is saying the — to deal with the longer term. nobody is saying the national— to deal with the longer term. nobody is saying the national health - is saying the national health service is not in need of immediate help. the issue is the conservatives have been in powerfor 13 years. that is how long the conservatives have had to get the nhs right and it applies to other public services. i doubt anyone could mention a single public service that is in a better condition in 2023 than it was when

the conservatives got to power in 2010. the truth is they simply can't be trusted with the nhs and other public services. flan be trusted with the nhs and other public services.— public services. can we talk about the nadhim _ public services. can we talk about the nadhim zahawi _ public services. can we talk about the nadhim zahawi taxi _ public services. can we talk about the nadhim zahawi taxi fare? - public services. can we talk about the nadhim zahawi taxi fare? the prime minister has sacked him and it saysin prime minister has sacked him and it says in the papers within minutes of getting the report from the ethics commissioner he decided he would get rid of his party chairman. that was swift in the end, wasn't it? it rid of his party chairman. that was swift in the end, wasn't it?- swift in the end, wasn't it? it was not swift- — swift in the end, wasn't it? it was not swift. almost _ swift in the end, wasn't it? it was not swift. almost two _ swift in the end, wasn't it? it was not swift. almost two weeks - swift in the end, wasn't it? it was not swift. almost two weeks ago | swift in the end, wasn't it? it was i not swift. almost two weeks ago at prime minister's questions the prime minister said all questions had been answered when clearly they had not. there are serious questions now for thejudgment of this there are serious questions now for the judgment of this prime minister. we know from the report that back in july last year, nadhim zahawi made a declaration he was under investigation by hmrc. we know in

september of last year he came to a settlement with hmrc over unpaid tax that involved a penalty. after both those things had happened, in late october, the prime minister, this prime minister appointed him to a senior post in his cabinet. he must have known about the ministerial declaration of interest. what questions did he ask nadhim zahawi then? when did the prime minister become aware this penalty to hmrc had been paid? and also it goes to this prime minister who promised accountability and integrity and his own policing of the ministerial code, because that penalty was paid in september. however, it was not declared until this january, some months later. the day after it had appeared in a national newspaper.

what on earth was the prime minister doing in terms of policing the ministerial code of his government? so there are serious questions, still, for the prime minister to answer. ~ , , answer. the prime minister says he did not know _ answer. the prime minister says he did not know about _ answer. the prime minister says he did not know about the _ answer. the prime minister says he did not know about the penalty - answer. the prime minister says he | did not know about the penalty until much later. nadhim zahawi said he will support the government from the backbenches. do you think you should remain an mp or step—down? it is a remain an mp or step-down? it is a matter for— remain an mp or step-down? it is a matter for nadhim _ remain an mp or step-down? it is a matter for nadhim zahawi. - remain an mp or step-down? it is a matter for nadhim zahawi. this - remain an mp or step-down? it is a matter for nadhim zahawi. this is l matterfor nadhim zahawi. this is about much more than the future now of one individual who has left the government. the prime minister might say he did not know about the penalty until later, but we know from the report that injuly, mr zahawi made a declaration that he was under investigation by hmrc. why on earth did the prime minister, knowing that, not ask the

appropriate questions when mr zahawi was appointed to his cabinet in october? i am afraid the answer is likely to be, as it has been so long with this prime minister, that he always puts party interests before country. we always puts party interests before count . ~ ., ., ., country. we have to leave it there. thank yon — it's another big week for strikes, with rail workers, teachers and civil servants all taking industrial action. nina has the details. good morning. important to know where you are up to with this. it's likely you have by now been affected by industrial action in some way. and we are entering another week that looks set to be particularly disruptive. here's the calender for the week ahead, which will hopefully help you to plan. let's start with teachers — a big impact if you're a parent. in scotland, strikes started last week and will continue until friday. the exact date will depend on which

local authority you are under. in england and wales, wednesday is the first day of a series of planned strikes for teachers in february and march. although it's not a blanket closure — some classes stay open depending on the individual teachers. why are they striking? most teachers in scotland, wales and england have been offered at least a 5% pay rise. but the unions argue that rising prices mean in real terms — their pay has been cut over the past 12 years. train drivers are also striking this week — there'll be a big impact on 1a providers on wednesday and friday. the aslef union is largely deadlocked in talks over pay. the ongoing wider dispute with the rmt is also about terms and conditions. again — the impact will depend where you live. the advice is to think carefully about whether you need to travel on those days. where does this leave you then if you can't physically get to work,

or need to be at home caring for children — where working might be a bit tricky? the advice is to talk to your boss now. it would be remiss of employers not to say to employees strikes are pending, what arrangements have you got in place? and then they could sit down and have honest and open discussions about plans in place, anyone that is really struggling to overcome childcare issues or travel plans. and if they have exhausted all options, and all potential routes to overcome the problem, what are the other options? annual leave, working from home, working the hours back? and i think that two—way dialogue is really important. wednesday will see staff at university striking. unions want an above inflation pay rise but at the universities and college employers association says it will putjobs at risk. 100,000 civil servants across

more than 100 government departments are also striking. again, that is about pay, pensions and job security. this comes as the government continues with its new strike legislation which goes before the house of commons today. they say it will mean there will have to be a minimum service level when people take industrial action and say it will keep the public safe. unions say it goes too far. there is legislation elsewhere in other countries. but i can't find anywhere which would threaten to sack workers if they didn't comply with this, which would threaten to take unions to court if they didn't comply, so it is very different. a lot of the countries, they have these agreements in place, but they are voluntary agreements. 0r sometimes itjust involves having unions giving a bit more notice about strikes. this is why the unions here are calling it draconian.

the escalating action last year meant that 2022 was the biggest year for working days affected by industrial action since 1990. and next week we will see nurses, physiotherapists and midwives set to join strike action and physiotherapists and midwives set to join strike action and later physiotherapists and midwives set to join strike action and later today we will get results of the firefighters' ballot. they said there would be industrial action towards the end of last year and this year. we saw the deadlock. the government binding to the level of national debt and interest paid on it saying we can't shift but workers saying look where the cost of living is, we need an improvement in pay. it isa it is a busy weekend. fa cup. hard not to be gripped by what is playing out of wrexham. it was a great watch.

it was a great watch. it had everything. then you have the backdrop, the hollywood duo bowling into the welsh town and buying up this club. ryan reynolds talking yesterday, they want to get to the premier league. when you hear hollywood stars buying a football club you think it can go two ways but they are committed. so invested. there has been a documentary with huge money rolling in. if you saw the documentary it was about improving the community and anyone from wrexham would say they have helped people in the local area and now, on the pitch, they are seeing the benefits. just minutes away. but a replay. all about the hollywood glamour at wrexham's racecourse ground yesterday. notjust the presence of owner and actor ryan reynolds, but the match played out like an all—action movie script, and it means we've got a sequel to come. joe lynskey reports.

cheering. this was fa cup drama that hollywood couldn't script. a day that lurched between emotions and where wrexham came so close. the team from non—league faced sheffield united — three tiers above and one up in the first minute. but the second half was extraordinary. wrexham drew level and, roared on by the racecourse, now charged for the front. commentator: in it comes towards him at the near post. and they have scored. wrexham lead. 2—1, but the lead was short—lived. sheffield united are on course for promotion. championship quality pulled this back to two each. but plot twists were coming. united went down to ten for a foul off the ball, so with the space, wrexham looked for their staff. looked for their star. mullin. can he win it here? yes he can! paul mullin is their top scorer.

and dedicated this goal to his son albie, who hasjust been diagnosed with autism. the team from the fifth tier were on course for the fifth round, but, in the 95th minute, one last blades attack. all the way through. they have levelled. astonishing. we are kicking ourselves in the dressing room. you know, there is an element of saying well done, but, equally, you know, we are livid that we have got we are livid that we haven't got through because i think the performance warranted it. on twitter, ryan reynolds said it was one of the most exciting things he had seen. to win at bramall lane would be even more remarkable. but wrexham go to the sequel with the hollywood dream and the owners of this club are familiar with fairy tales. joe lynskey, bbc news. if he is back in new york, he will be flying back in for the rerun. exiting stage left are the holders liverpool,

who's troubles this season continue with the scores level late on at the amex against brighton, as up stepped kaoru mitoma with a brilliant goal in stoppage time. and the rebuilding job continues for managerjurgen klopp after so much recent success. great drama again though. there were no major shocks in the fourth round of the women's fa cup — arsenal, manchester city and chelsea all through. tottenham put five past championship leaders london city lionesses. england international beth england amongst the scorers. full results are on the bbc sport website. celtic are sitting pretty, their nine poimnt lead at the top of the scottish premiership restored. two—nil they beat dundee united at tannardice. and what about this for a cross. great ball for their first from arron mooy, who then got their second. now it's often been said that britain is not a winter sport nation. of athletes who over the last well try telling that to the current crop of athletes who over the last week and a half have won 16 major

medals across olympic and paralympic disciplines. freestyle skier zoe atkin is the nation's latest champion, winning herfirst x games gold medal in ski superpipe in aspen. she was ninth at the winter olympics last year so a big improvement for her. and we've also seen skeleton successes, bobsleigh, figure skating and para alpine medals too. that is quite a turnaround. after the disappointment of the winter olympics. they are on the up. if that continues, there is a film in that. that has already happened. eddie the eagle! here's carol. let see if the winter sport weather continuing. it looks like blue skies and sunny. good morning. some wintry weather in the next couple of days but most of it will be on the hills. we start on a windy note in the north. some showers. they will tend to ease and

most will have a day of sunny spells. showers in scotland, northern ireland and northern england at the moment. the strong wind across the north of the country easing. a lot of dry weather with sunshine. later, the cloud builds across parts of scotland and northern ireland, heralding the arrival of this weather front. temperatures today for — ten. in the sunshine it will not feel too bad. overnight, we start with clear skies but the weather front coming in from the north—west brings rain, heaviest in scotland and northern ireland. as it pushes across england and wales, it pushes across england and wales, it will be lighter. behind it, showers. ahead of it, lighter winds, clear skies. there might be a touch of frost but a low risk. by the end of frost but a low risk. by the end of the night, the wind picks up. it will be a feature of the weather tomorrow with potentially severe gales as we go through the day. a

lot of showers coming in, blowing west to east. wintry on the hills and mountains. further south, the wind not as much a feature. and looking at dry weather and sunshine with a high of 12. feeling cooler in the wind. thanks. it was billed as the coolest club you never want to be a part of and a candid guide to all the highs and lows of cancer. now, after five years of laughter, tears and honesty, the podcast you, me and the big c is coming to an end. it finished with a special one—off episode, filmed in front of a live audience. tim muffett was there. we are three friends, we are also bloggers, we all have one thing in common — we all have or we have had cancer. rachael bland, lauren mahon and dame deborahjames. the original presenters

of you, me and the big c. launched in 2018, it was funny... i'm not going to look at you. i'm going to... a crying poo is not what we need right now. laughter. it was heartbreaking. all the way home, i was just saying to freddie, i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry. 0h. don't, because you're going to make me... i sorry. it's the first thing that made me cry and the whole 12 episodes. now a very special episode. see you, m and the big c, we are going live to a studio audience. and we are very excited. cheering. dame deborahjames died last year. rachael bland died in 2018. her husband, steve, then became one of the presenters. hello, everyone. hello, everyone, good evening. welcome to you, me and the big c live! it feels like kind of the essence of the podcast. it was never reallyjust meant to be in a studio talking to a microphone.

it's bringing people here who, i imagine most of them are quite experienced, or have something to do with cancer. and, you know, sharing the podcast with them. i'm the fifth person in my family to develop breast cancer. why did you want to share it publicly? i thought i could wait until the surgery is over and i hopefully make it through and i'm feeling stronger and feeling ok to talk about it, but that could be months. i've listened from virtually- the first episode and they have totally altered the perception of cancen _ i do encourage everyone to get a colonoscopy if you have been scheduled for one. don't be scared of them because they are quite funny, at the same time. you talk about shining light in the dark. i really felt an affinity, - particularly with rachael bland, because i had exactly the same type as breast cancer as her. _ and it gave me hope. you need to know where you are so that you can get on and do the things that you need to do. unfortunately c is in our life, everyone's life, at some point. and so, yeah, it

resonates massively. he is now officially in remission. cheering. you, me and the big c has made people laugh, it's made people cry, but, most importantly, it has been informative. both the nhs and the institute of cancer research say it's given a major boost to the number of people checking potential cancer symptoms early. last year, honorary doctorate degrees were awarded to lauren and steve for the impact the podcast has had. a posthumous degree was awarded to dame deborahjames, whose sister sarah and brother ben were at the live show. i think the spontaneity of her is how i remember her. and just her laugh. # when you touch me like this... she just had this vision of wanting to give more people more time through doing something good and using her platform to raise as much money, as much engagement, as much

awareness and she could, really. it must make you feel immensely proud? yes. tinged with sadness, obviously, deborah not being here any more, but the legacy she's left behind. this is what deborah wanted. lauren and steve are now stepping away from the podcast. it has been a massive privilege. you have been like our therapy group, our best mates, our support group, our everything. so it's been... oh, it is going to get all teary now, isn't it? it's like a very organic end for us to step back because we've both got... i've not had cancer for five years. steve has moved on with his life, remarried. yeah, hopefully, we have done a good job in changing the way people talk about cancer. by talking, listening and sharing, the impact of this podcast has been profound. tim moffatt, bbc news. you can listen to that special episode of "you, me and the big c" —

and all the previous episodes — on bbc sounds. they said it might be back in some form in the future. when the first home computers and gaming consoles were launched in the 19705, it all felt very futuristic. they looked futuristic. now they're being exhibited in a new museum. more on that in a moment but first let's take a look at a couple of dates. computers were developed for research in the 1930s but it was the altair 8800 which sparked the home computer era in 197a. after its success as an arcade game, home pong was developed for our own tv screens in 1975. i remember being jealous of people with that. it was in 1989 when nintendo

released its first game boy, with the likes of super mario land and tetris making it an immediate success. and the world wide web has been around since 1991, although the first email had been sent two decades earlier. this technology is now so ancient that it's being exhibited in a new museum, near wigan. peter ruddick is there. it is working? it is working a lot better than i am because this is bringing back memories of being really awful at video games. this is the commodore 6a. it comes to something that the things you played with as a kid are now a museum items. floppy disk anyone? welcome to leigh a formerly mill tended to retire —— retirement home for old

to play one game. where you put the cassette in and the howling noise. e—mail your pictures to bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk. and you can tweet, using the hashtag bbcbreakfast. who would think we would be talking about tweets and e—mails and sending pictures when we first had those computers. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. staff, who lost theirjobs at the weekend due to the collapse of the airline flybe, have been advised to apply for roles with easyjet and ryanair. the airline went into administration on saturday with the loss of over 250 jobs. the budget airlines operating from gatwick, luton and stansted said they have vacancies for pilots, engineers, ground staff and cabin crew and are encouraging out—of—work flybe staff to apply.

police are still appealing for information and witnesses to comes forward,after a man was stabbed at harrods in knightsbridge. it followed a fight on saturday evening, leaving a 29—year—old with stab and slash wounds. he was taken to hospital and isn't in a life—threatening condition. no arrests have been made, and officers are studying cctv footage. with the "ultra low emission zone" expansion around seven months' away, some drivers may be able to get up to £2,000 for their old carfrom today. the scrappage scheme is aimed at getting higher polluting vehicles off london's roads, and drivers can apply online for the payment from this morning. it's for people on low incomes, disability benefits and for eligible businesses employing fewer than ten people. over £100 million has been set aside for the payments. there's a £1 billion tunnel being built across london, which you probably won't know about.

it's a power tunnel stretching 20 miles from wimbledon to bexley and its purpose is to supply electricity to the capital in the future. this tunnelling project is replacing circuits that were commissioned in 1967. they will allow us to uprate the circuits to facilitate future demand. so that will come from things like electric vehicles and the volume of residential development and the residential energy load that comes with that. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now on to the weather with kate. good morning. we start the day in mid single figures celsius feeling a little less cold. today it's dry, it's fine, we've got plenty of winter sunshine. now the wind is fairly light but it's a northwesterly, a little bit of patchy cloud. but as i said, lots of sunshine today and temperatures reaching a maximum of 10c. so we're back up in double figures. into this evening, the first part

at least, it's dry and it's clear. through the middle part of the night, though, our next front just starts to sweep across and that's going to bring some more cloud. also the wind is going to strengthen through the night as well. the could bring the odd spot of light rain as we head through to tuesday morning. the minimum temperature still chilly at around 2c. so a cloudier start tomorrow morning. we might get a spot or two of rain. low pressure to the north of scotland. that front, however, clears through tuesday afternoon. it's still going to be quite breezy. a northwesterly wind. but we'll see some sunshine later on in the day and temperatures tomorrow getting up potentially to 12 celsius. that's it from me for now. i'll be back in around half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today...

thousands more hospital beds and hundreds of new ambulances — the government sets out a £1 billion plan to improve nhs emergency care in england. but the prime minister continues to face questions about his judgement over the tax affairs of sacked party chairman nadim zahawi. labour say he must "come clean" about what he knew when. vladimir putin's threat to borisjohnson on the eve of russia's invasion of ukraine. the former prime minister recounts their conversation in a new bbc documentary. he threatened me at one point and said, "you know, boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute," or something like that. the challenge facing families trying to plan for this week's teachers strike in england and wales — 20,000 schools are due to be affected. i've got two children in primary school, who we don't yet know if their teachers will be striking.

there was to be no hollywood ending for actor and wrexham co—owner ryan reynolds, whose side came close to a memorable fa cup upset but we do have a sequel to come. good morning. wind will be a feature of the weather for some of us. the strong winds this morning will ease, showers will ease. most of us will have a dry day until much later when a new weather front brings rain have a dry day until much later when a new weatherfront brings rain into the west. all the details later in the west. all the details later in the programme. it's monday, the 30th of january. our main story. 5,000 extra hospital beds and 800 new ambulances will be rolled out in england this year in a bid to tackle the long emergency care delays. details of the £1 billion investment will be set out later by the government and nhs england. our health correspondent jim reed reports. ambulance staff are waiting with their patients to come to the emergency department cubicles, which are currently full.

record waits in a&e. trolleys lining up in packed corridors, queues of ambulances stuck outside busy hospitals with their patients. doctors say this winter has been the worst in a generation. today sees a new plan to try to tackle some of these problems. by next winter, there should be 5,000 more permanent hospital beds in england — an increase of around 5%. 800 new ambulances will be purchased — around half of those to replace older vehicles. and there will be a new push to get people who are well enough out of hospital more quickly. our plan is based on three things. it's based on increasing capacity in hospital and ambulance services, increasing capacity in the community so people can be looked after in their own home. ensuring patients, who are medically fit to go home, aren't kept in a hospital for any longer than they need to be, and crucially, making sure we're growing the workforce to support that.

hello, sir. how are you? one idea is to expand virtual wards, where patients are monitored remotely at home rather than in hospital. just lean backwards for me. more physio and rehab work could also be carried out in the community to free up bed space. the money to pay for all this will come out of funds already promised last autumn. but labour said waiting time targets were being watered down as part of the plan and groups representing nurses and nhs trusts said they had worries about the staff needed to make it work. this announcement is rolling out some tried and tested ideas and expanding them, so they can have greater impact. so virtual wards, hospital at home, all of these initiatives are very important. integrated care, for example. but what we do need to be clear about is that you can't simply roll out these services without adequate workforce available, and that's our main concern.

this plan only applies to england, though some of the same ideas are being tried in scotland, wales and northern ireland. doctors say swift action is needed now to avoid a repeat of scenes like this next winter. jim reed, bbc news. meanwhile, the prime minister is facing criticism for waiting more than a week before sacking his party chairman, nadhim zahawi, over his tax affairs. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. morning. he is in downing street for us this morning. nick, the government is talking about health today. presumably ministers will be keen to move the focus away from mr zahawi? that is right, it is the last thing he will be wanting to talk about today. inevitable the prime minister will face questions about this. why

didn't he act sooner? we reported last week that mr zahawi paid a penalty as part of his tax bill and that was not enough for him to be sacked. the argument from the man who lives in a is that he wanted to follow due process can get his ethics adviser to look into all of this and then make his final decision. the man you have seen walking through the door, nadhim zahawi, he is not happy. some of his allies have been suggesting to us this morning that the process was flawed, he did not get enough of a chance to make his case to the independent adviser, this process was sped up because of the political damage it was doing the government. that said, when you read the report, all four pages of it, it is pretty damning. several breaches of the ministerial code. the independent adviser saying mr zahawi did not declare enough when it came to his

taxes. there is that. this comes back to rishi sunak�*s attempt to try to clean up government and say up to some of the scandals we have been reporting on breakfast for the last couple of years he has moved on. he stood here and talked about accountability, professionalism, integrity. he said yesterday they were really important to him. it is proving hard to move on from some of the scandals we have seen. potentially there are more big rows coming. dominic raab denies wrongdoing. borisjohnson, the big investigation that is going to happen in parliament as to whether he misled them. that is coming back as well. although mr sue nack talks as well. although mr sue nack talks a lot about wanting to clean up from what happened, he is facing a hangover about how easy it is to

actually move on. —— although rishi sunak talks a lot. a 16—year—old boy will appear in court today, charged with the murder of a teenage girl who was stabbed to death in northumberland. holly newton, who was 15, was fatally wounded in hexham on friday afternoon. the boy, who can't be named, will appear before magistrates in newcastle. a ballot for strikes by firefighters and control room staff closes later. if members of the fire brigades union vote for action, the uk will see its first nationwide fire service strike over pay since 2003. members rejected a 5% pay offer last november. journalists will be allowed to report on proceedings in some family courts from today. it's a year—long pilot in leeds, cardiff and carlisle, with strict rules to protect the anonymity of families involved. the family court division and campaigners hope it will lead to greater transparency about decisions the court makes. the former prime minister boris johnson has told how the russian president vladimir putin had

personally threatened him in the run up to the invasion of ukraine. mrjohnson said it happened during a telephone call. he made the revelation in a new bbc documentary series about mr putin's leadership. he said, "boris, you say that ukraine is is not going tojoin nato any time soon." he said in english — "any time soon." "what is any time soon?" and i said, "well, it's not going to join nato for the foreseeable future. you know that perfectly well." fundamentally, it wasn't about... you know, he sort of... he threatened me at one point and said, "boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute," or something like that, you know. jolly! but i think from the very relaxed tone that he was taking, the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just

playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is travelling tojerusalem today amid rising tensions between israel and the palestinians. he'll meet both sides — separately — following a gun attack outside a synagogue which killed seven israelis, and a military raid on the west bank which left nine palestinians dead. the parents of a young woman, who died after taking a highly toxic chemical which is sold illegally in diet pills, will meet government ministers today, ahead of it being reclassified as a poison. bethany shipsey died in 2017 aged 21, after she purchased pills containing dnp online. her father says she was failed by the government but minsters say they have now taken steps to ensure controls are in place. childcare providers across britain

are raising prices, cutting staff and reducing opening hours to cope with funding pressures . that's according to a survey by a charity which campaigns for affordable childcare. a parliamentary inquiry will begin hearings this week. the government says it is trying to cut costs and bureaucracy for providers. we are going to be talking about school strikes in a moment and what it means forfamilies school strikes in a moment and what it means for families across the country. it's 7:13am. here's carol with a look at the weather. a bit of sunshine in the picture. john is right. many of us today will have a dry day with sunny spells. we might not all be starting that way but that is how most of us will end up. a lot of showers across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and if few in the channel islands as we have gone through the last few hours. many of their showers will fade and sunshine will develop. some of us starting with

beautiful sunrises bursting. some starting off on a windy note. very cold across northern ireland in particular. in northern ireland some showers this morning when many of them will fade through the morning and we will have some sunshine. showers across the north of england, the midlands also. for most of england and wales we will have sunshine. in the north—west note how we start to see the cloud build into the afternoon. that is ahead of a weather front which is coming our way later. that will bring rain, crossing scotland and northern ireland. at times it will be heavy. it crosses england and wales. the band applied around the rain will narrow and the rain will not be as heavy, it will be lighter. the winds will start to pick up by the end of the night. tomorrow, we are looking at gales, especially in the north, even severe gales as you go through the latter part of the day. they

will be blowing in the showers, a lot of showers across scotland, northern ireland and england. further the sound windy but not as windy. it will be drier with sunshine. we are looking at highs at 211 degrees in london. tuesday night looks like it will be particularly windy, especially across parts of scotland. we had been warned. thank you very much stop the children stop are off to school this morning but millions will be staying at home on wednesday as teachers in england and wales go on strike — and those in scotland continue their industrial action. for most working parents that will mean taking a day off, working from home, or seeking alternative childcare. fiona lamdin has been talking to families about their plans. we want 10%! these are becoming all too familiar scenes in scotland, where they're already in the middle of a six—day wave of rolling teacher strikes. and, on wednesday, its expected

over 100,000 teachers in england and wales will strike in a pay dispute. at this bristol parkrun, families are still working out the logistics. wednesday, currently, is unsure, but one of us will need to take half a day's pay to look after this one. our eldest daughter is allowed to go into school, but adeline needs to stay at home with us. how will you feel about being at home for the day? i'm really happy because if there's no school, you canjust lie in bed. i'm a teacher and i've got two children in primary school, i who we don't yet know whether their teachers j are going to be striking. but i am going to be striking. so we think that maybe his teacher is staying in school— and his teacher isn't. so i think i'll be marching i with the younger one here. it's good that it's open, so we can do more learning, but it would also be nice

to have a day off, as well. you might be marching with your mum. what will that be like? boring. would you rather be at school? probably. i have to go to work. i'm a gp. but my husband can work from home, so fortunately, he'll be working to look after the children. it'll probably be a bit more fun at school because my dad's working. the decision to close or not will be made by each school. this head has decided it's only safe to open for vulnerable pupils or those with an education, health and care plan. so for headteachers up and down the country, it's a challenge as to whether we open the doors of the school to students or whether we have to close down certain year groups or, indeed, the whole school. as heads, we don't know which members of staff will be striking and indeed which ones will come to school and which ones won't. and, obviously, logistically, that's extremely challenging. the department for education says

these strikes are highly damaging to children's education and is urging schools to try and stay open for key year groups facing exams. 15—year—old nancy is taking her gcses in four months, but, despite this, she'll have no lessons on wednesday. obviously, i'm in year 11 now, so it is quite a big problem because lessons from now until summer actually count and they go towards our final grade, some of them. so it's quite important that we're in school. and we've missed a lot of school due to covid already. we have to weigh up the short term disruption of these strikes with what's going to be the longer—term disruption being caused by funding cuts and the recruitment and retention crisis. for many pupils and their families, it will be a four day week with more disruption coming later. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

teachers might choose to strike. it comes down to money and it is due with real terms increase. it is so much more than that. as a profession we feel undervalued that many public sectors feel that way at the moment. we had just come off the back of covid, really challenging situation for lots of professions. we feel we have taken quite a kick in, think, from the government in things that are said. the salaries that have been put in place do not match inflation. we are a demoralised profession. a shame because it is full of quality people, people wanting to give their lives to help others, helping children.- others, helping children. parents will feel their _ others, helping children. parents will feel their children _ others, helping children. parents will feel their children have - others, helping children. parents. will feeltheir children have missed will feel their children have missed out loads of schooling in some schools did not support them as they might have done, not geared up for

to help you fall asleep but how about counting the wild deer? the answer is a high—tech drone camera. that's what they're using in ashdown forest, in east sussex — where the deer population needs to be closely monitored to keep the roads safe. yvette austin went to find out more. surveying the ashdown forest from the air. this winter's cold, clear days perfect for spotting the wildlife that inhabit the ten square miles of woods and heathland. ecologists are here to build up a detailed picture of deer populations. so we're using this drone today. it's equipped with a thermal imaging sensor on the camera there. it has three cameras on the device. it's a wide—angle, thermal—imaging and a super zoom lens. the weather conditions today only allowed a short demonstration. but the deer nearby were easily seen nonetheless. so that's a group of primarily female deer. and the thermal signature, we can see there's 21 in this group.

oh, yeah. the rest is in the corner there. the survey is all part of the forest's deer management programme. numbers of fallow deer are species, not native to the uk — need to be kept in check. fallow deer tend to have... they're a herd species. we do see — tend to see a lot more of them from numbers ranging from 20 to even 100 deer in one herd. you can imagine them going through a wood block, not being pressured and staying there. they're just going to completely change the biodiversity. managing their numbers also helps prevent scenes like this — the result of a deer collision. luckily, the driver of this car made a full recovery. for some years now, road accidents involving deer have been recorded in the southeast and, as time has passed, a picture has built up of where most happen. of course it does rely on the collisions being reported, but the data suggests the ashdown forest and area around tunbridge wells are hotspots.

accidents in the forest have decreased in recent years since deer numbers have been managed. this winter's survey results will give staff more accurate information for future culls. so as we're flying the drone, and we will keep the deer, we then put it onto the mapping system. we record the species, the age class, if we can tell from the imagery and the sex of the deer. and then it creates this distribution and density map of the deer across the forest. the ultimate aim — a healthy forest with healthy animals. yvette austin, bbc news. beautiful pictures. calljust to get some fresh this morning. we have not moved! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning.

i'm asad ahmad. staff who lost their jobs at the weekend due to the collapse of the airline flybe have been advised to apply for roles with easyjet and ryanair. the airline went into administration on saturday with the loss of over 250 jobs. the budget airlines operating from gatwick, luton and stansted said they have vacancies for pilots, engineers, ground staff and cabin crew — and are encouraging out of work flybe staff to apply. police are still appealing for information and witnesses to comes forward after a man was stabbed at harrods in knightsbridge. it followed a fight on saturday evening, leaving a 29—year—old with stab and slash wounds. he was taken to hospital and isn't in a life—threatening condition. no arrests have been made and officers are studying cctv footage. with the ultra low emission zone expansion around seven months away, some drivers may be able to get up to £2000 for their old car from today.

the scrappage scheme is aimed at getting higher polluting vehicles off london's roads, and drivers can apply online for the payment from this morning. it's for people on low incomes, disability benefits and for eligible businesses employing fewer than ten people. over a £100 million has been set aside for the payments. there's a billion—pound tunnel being built across london, which you probably won't know about. it's a power tunnel stretching 20 miles from wimbledon to bexley and its purpose is to supply electricity to the capital in the future. this tunnelling project is replacing circuits that were commissioned in 1967. they will allow us to uprate the circuits to facilitate future demand. so that will come from things like electric vehicles and the volume of residential development and the residential energy load that comes with that. let's take a look at the tubes now.

it isa it is a good service which it has remained all morning which is unusual on monday but very welcome. good morning. we start the day in mid single figures celsius feeling a little less cold. today it's dry, it's fine, we've got plenty of winter sunshine. now the wind is fairly light but it's a northwesterly, a little bit of patchy cloud. but as i said, lots of sunshine today and temperatures reaching a maximum of 10c. so we're back up in double figures. into this evening, the first part at least, it's dry and it's clear. through the middle part of the night, though, our next front just starts to sweep across and that's going to bring some more cloud. also the wind is going to strengthen through the night as well. the could bring the odd spot of light rain as we head through to tuesday morning. the minimum temperature still chilly at around 2c. so a cloudier start tomorrow morning. we might get a spot or two of rain. low pressure to the north of scotland. that front, however, clears through tuesday afternoon. it's still going to be quite breezy. a northwesterly wind, but we'll see some sunshine later

on in the day and temperatures tomorrow getting up potentially to 12 celsius. that's it from me for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. as we've been hearing this morning, a £1 billion package of measures to tackle emergency care delays in england will be unveiled by the government today. one of the simplest ways to ease pressure on the nhs is to keep people out of hospital in the first place — and a community in devon is trying to do that by focusing on keeping them warm. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has been to see how it works. winter in north devon. on days like this, it is best to stay indoors. hopefully in the warm.

good morning. mr adams? my name is mel. mel ayres is an energy adviser who has been sent to visit roger adams by his gp. i understand you have health conditions thst you feel the cold more. the pensioner takes 15 tablets a day for a variety of health problems, including asthma. these are energy—efficient light bulbs. basically, if you had led light bulbs throughout the whole house, you would save money annually. she hopes to improve his health by warming his home and cutting his bills. roger has six children and 20 grandchildren and has been married to carol for over 50 years. they have £a5 a week to spend on food. she buys everything in the reduced section. i go and look for the bargains. that's what i do. with the money we've got, we spread it as best- as we can and that's it.

it doesn't allow for l days out or holidays. but we get by. there's a lot of people worse off than us. - mel departs with a promise to return to help the couple claim a benefit they might be entitled to. she is off to another client. gps in northern devon have identified hundreds of people like roger with respiratory problems who live in fuel poverty. a year—long scheme sees them visited by advisers who try to improve each home's energy efficiency. living in cold, damp, dark homes is really bad for you if you have preexisting respiratory illness. in the severe group, they often have medical devices that need electricity, such as oxygen concentrators, which they cannot afford not to run. that is one of the reasons why we chose this population. lots of old, poorly insulated homes combined with low incomes means fuel poverty levels are higher

in devon than nationwide. mel has been shocked by some of what she has seen. i have been in houses where they have a selection of candles and they tell me that's where they get their heat from. they have refused to open their post because they are too scared to, so they don't put the heating on. why won't they open their post? because they are too scared to find out what their bill is going to be. is it hard? yes. i know it's, you know, health is not something we can control but having the heating on, we should be able to do that. the energy advisers even run a curtain bank, taking donated curtains, lining them if necessary, and hanging them in clients' homes to prevent heat loss. most people's grandparents used to have curtains across their door and we are kind of going back in time to do that.

it is a cost—effective way to reduce draughts in the home. mel's final task today is to hang curtains in michael and lynn's home. i understand you need some curtains. they both have mobility problems. lynn in particular feels the cold. they bought the curtains themselves. they are not lined, but they will do until mel can swap them. a small improvement in a bigger battle for health and wellbeing. let's get more now on those government measures to ease pressure on the nhs. we'rejoined by health minister helen whately. good morning. as we have seen and reported many times, the nhs facing unprecedented pressure. how is today's plan going to help? good mornin: today's plan going to help? good morning and _ today's plan going to help? good morning and thanks _ today's plan going to help? good morning and thanks for - today's plan going to help? (13mg. morning and thanks for inviting me on to talk about this because as you said, the nhs is facing hard pressures this winter. 2.3 million

attendances at a&e in december which is a record number of people coming to a&e. it is tough on the nhs. we are working hard putting in extra funding to help with those pressures but today we are publishing a plan looking ahead on what we will do over the months ahead and through to next year. to make things better in the nhs to reduce some of the waiting times in a&e and waiting times for ambulances. on the one hand it is increasing capacity in the health service to care for people in hospital. with a £1 billion investment in 5000 more beds in hospitals and 800 new ambulances. we are also going to be doing things differently. on the one hand, the more capacity but also doing things differently in the health service, for instance to care for more people out of hospital in their home, which is what many want so it is better

health and social care system joining up more than before in the plans published. on staffing, distaff beds, the nhs is its star. that is why we are recruiting more staff to the nhs. we are on track to have 50,000 more nurses in 2a compared to 2019. we have more than 35,000 more doctors since 2010. and we are recruiting support staff. for instance, emergency technicians to work alongside paramedics in ambulances. it is staff that is important to provide the extra care. how do you make the nhs an attractive place to work where it seems many working there are so unhappy they want to go on strike? that is also really important. i talk to people in the nhs, doctors and nurses, all the time about what we can do to make it a better place to work. there are things that i

have heard most often, is that it is having fully staffed team so if you are a nurse, you might be supported ljy are a nurse, you might be supported by agency staff you can do a good job but they might not be familiar to that ward. so important to have people who are permanently members of the workforce which is why we have been recruiting extra nurses along with other health care assistants to boost team so you have the team around you. i have heard in conversations recently that is making a difference and feeling better than it was a few years ago. you use the word recruitment. it is fair to say you are attempting to recruit extra staff. are you filling vacancies? recruitment is a general word. are you confident you can find enough people to fill vacancies in the nhs? ~ , ., enough people to fill vacancies in the nhs? _, enough people to fill vacancies in the nhs? ., the nhs? when you say all the vacancies. _ the nhs? when you say all the vacancies, there _ the nhs? when you say all the vacancies, there will _ the nhs? when you say all the vacancies, there will always . the nhs? when you say all the vacancies, there will always be j vacancies, there will always be vacancies, there will always be vacancies because you will always have staff turnover. in a workforce

of over 1 have staff turnover. in a workforce of over1 million you will have people being recruited into new roles as people move around in the health service. as we are setting out today, the 5000 new beds commitment is 5000 staffed beds. we also will make sure we have staff and community health care trusts and hospitals and services because that is an important part of the plan, looking after more people at home. i was going to talk about hospital at home, known as virtual wards, which is an important innovation so that rather than people being cared for in hospitalfor rather than people being cared for in hospital for instance after an operation, being unwell, you can go home but be monitored at home and have visits from your community health team and be able to contact and call up the team looking after you in hospital and that can be good for the patient because you can recover often better at home, but you know you have the back—up from the team in hospital. you you know you have the back-up from the team in hospital.— the team in hospital. you are talkin: the team in hospital. you are talking about _ the team in hospital. you are

sheffield united forced a replay to take the tie back to bramall lane. i tell you what — when he bought the club two years ago, was he prepared for the range of emotions? he was living every moment in the stands, the highs, the upset was on when they went 3—2 up. a little more subdued though when the equaliser went in. but they are still in the tie and on course to promotion to the football league. he said after that was the greatest thing i've ever seen, i'm sure he'll bejetting back in for the replay not the only legend — he was posting picks with alan shearer and mark hughes, and didn't need their goals. blake lively his wife posted to say she'd bought the game live to watch in the states,

just to see her husband experience crippling anxiety live. we will speak at a moment to another family who are huge ryan reynolds supporters. how many owners in football are that popular? not many. and only growing in popularity. it makes you sick. what is it about the hollywood movie star and millions in the bank and the lovely family life and humour and comedy brings? all right, all right. disappointment for england's cricketers who lost their one day series with south africa, who were spraying it all over the ground. no disappointment for this guy though, what a catch as he plucked this one from the stratosphere. outrageous piece of fielding. england will have wished that catch counted because david miller plundered a few more sixes, the last winning the match. south africa wrapping up the series, ahead of the final match on wednesday.

feels right this morning to mark britain's achievements, and often said we're not a winter sport nation. try telling that to the current crop of athletes who over the last week and a half have won 16 major medals across olympic and paralympic disciplines. freestyle skier zoe atkin is the nation's latest champion, winning her first x games gold medal in ski superpipe in aspen. she was ninth at the winter olympics last year so a big improvement for the 20—year—old. and we've also seen skeleton successes, bobsleigh, figure skating and para—alpine medals too. it bodes well. and the next winter olympics on the horizon. milan hosting. they have bounced back. thanks. we will turn up the temperature now. we need to, it is freezing in here. strictly fans will know already karen hauer and gorka

donated another £1000. i said to his coach, is this real? he said it is real and i said are you sure?! could not believe it. i was in total shock. we are just surprised. and, obviously, keegan got invited to the game yesterday. he was supposed to be at a football match yesterday, in tranmere. so ryan stole keegan from there! his coach was not very happy. but that was it. you enjoyed it? look. just sharing a picture of you. what did you say to him when you met him, keegan? what did you say to him when you met him. keegan?— him, keegan? well, i said thank you. what else? —

but the prime minister continues to face questions about his judgement over the tax affairs of sacked party chairman nadim zahawi. labour say he must "come clean" about what he knew when. vladimir putin's threat to borisjohnson on the eve of russia's invasion of ukraine. the former prime minister recounts their conversation in a new bbc documentary. he threatened me at one point and said, "you know, boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute," or something like that. it's another big week of industrial action from teachers, rail workers, and civil servants. we'll let you know how you might be affected. tv star emily atack will be here in the next few minutes. she's tackling the issue of online sexual harrasment, and exploring what can be done to stop it. there was to be no hollywood ending for actor and wrexham co—owner ryan reynolds, whose side came close to a memorable fa cup upset.

good morning. wind is going to be a feature of the weather as we go through the next couple of days and nights. the wind eating from last night, as are the showers. for many of us it will be a dry day with sunshine. all the details later in the programme. it's monday, the 30th of january. our main story. 5,000 extra hospital beds and 800 new ambulances will be rolled out in england this year in a bid to tackle the long emergency care delays. details of the £1 billion investment will be set out later by the government and nhs england. our health correspondent jim reed reports. ambulance staff are waiting with their patients to come to the emergency department cubicles, which are currently full. record waits in a&e. trolleys lining up in packed corridors, queues of ambulances stuck outside busy hospitals with their patients. doctors say this winter has been the worst in a generation. today sees a new plan to try

to tackle some of these problems. by next winter, there should be 5,000 more permanent hospital beds in england — an increase of around 5%. 800 new ambulances will be purchased — around half of those to replace older vehicles. and there will be a new push to get people who are well enough out of hospital more quickly. our plan is based on three things. it's based on increasing capacity in hospital and ambulance services, increasing capacity in the community so people can be looked after in their own home. ensuring patients, who are medically fit to go home, aren't kept in a hospital for any longer than they need to be, and crucially, making sure we're growing the workforce to support that. hello, sir. how are you? one idea is to expand virtual wards, where patients are monitored remotely at home rather than in hospital. just lean backwards for me. more physio and rehab work

could also be carried out in the community to free up bed space. the money to pay for all this will come out of funds already promised last autumn. but labour said waiting time targets were being watered down as part of the plan and groups representing nurses and nhs trusts said they had worries about the staff needed to make it work. this announcement is rolling out some tried and tested ideas and expanding them, so they can have greater impact. so virtual wards, hospital at home, all of these initiatives are very important. integrated care, for example. but what we do need to be clear about is that you can't simply roll out these services without adequate workforce available, and that's our main concern. this plan only applies to england, though some of the same ideas are being tried in scotland, wales and northern ireland. doctors say swift action is needed now to avoid a repeat of scenes like this next winter.

jim reed, bbc news. meanwhile, the prime minister is facing criticism for waiting more than a week before sacking his party chairman, nadhim zahawi, over his tax affairs. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent nick eardley. the prime minister keen to talk about the health plan today. all the chat in westminster is doubtless about mr zahawi. i chat in westminster is doubtless about mr zahawi.— about mr zahawi. i think you are sot on. about mr zahawi. i think you are spot on- when _ about mr zahawi. i think you are spot on. when the _ about mr zahawi. i think you are spot on. when the report - about mr zahawi. i think you are i spot on. when the report dropped yesterday from the government's ethics adviser, it did not leave much room for doubt in its conclusion. seven breaches of the ministerial code. mostly about when mr zahawi declared he was being investigated by hmrc and he paid the penalty to settle a tax bill. the

prime minister sacked nadhim zahawi within a couple of hours of getting that report. there are questions about why he did not act sooner. last monday we were reporting about mr zahawi had paid last monday we were reporting about mrzahawi had paid a last monday we were reporting about mr zahawi had paid a penalty as part of that tax bill. the prime minister did not seem to have been told that, why didn't he act then? this is what a labour mp told us earlier. itaste why didn't he act then? this is what a labour mp told us earlier. we know from the report _ a labour mp told us earlier. we know from the report that _ a labour mp told us earlier. we know from the report that in _ a labour mp told us earlier. we know from the report that in july _ a labour mp told us earlier. we know from the report that in july mr- from the report that injuly mr zahawi — from the report that injuly mr zahawi had made a declaration that he was _ zahawi had made a declaration that he was under investigation by hmrc. why on— he was under investigation by hmrc. why on earth didn't the prime minister. _ why on earth didn't the prime minister, knowing that, ask the appropriate questions when mr zahawi was appointed to his cabinet in october? — was appointed to his cabinet in october? the answer is likely to be as it has _ october? the answer is likely to be as it has been for so long with this

prime _ as it has been for so long with this prime minister that he would always put party— prime minister that he would always put party interest before country. interesting chatting to a few tory mps. they have also questioned why a probe was not launched sooner. the number 10 defence was, we needed to follow due process, we launched an investigation. when we got the findings, mrzahawi investigation. when we got the findings, mr zahawi was out. speaking to some of the allies of nadhim zahawi, they are not happy either. they say he only had one 30 minute meeting to put his case across. they do not think he got enough of an opportunity to put his defence forward. ultimately, i think the pm will face questions today about why he did not act sooner, about why he did not act sooner, about whether he has been ruthless enough to try to avoid some of the political crises.— a 16—year—old boy will appear in court today charged with the murder of a teenage girl, who was stabbed to death in northumberland.

holly newton, who was 15, was fatally wounded in hexham on friday afternoon. the boy, who can't be named, will appear before magistrates in newcastle. a ballot for strikes by firefighters and control room staff closes later. if members of the fire brigades union vote for action, the uk will see its first nationwide fire service strike over pay since 2003. members rejected a 5% pay offer last november. journalists will be allowed to report on proceedings in some family courts from today. it's a year—long pilot in leeds, cardiff and carlisle, with strict rules to protect the anonymity of families involved. the family court division and campaigners hope it will lead to greater transparency about decisions the court makes. the former prime minister boris johnson has told how the russian president vladimir putin had personally threatened him in the run up to the invasion of ukraine. mrjohnson said it happened during a telephone call. he made the revelation in a new bbc documentary series about mr putin's leadership.

he said, "boris, you say that ukraine is not going tojoin nato any time soon." he said in english — "any time soon." "what is any time soon?" and i said, "well, it's not going to join nato for the foreseeable future. you know that perfectly well." fundamentally, it wasn't about... you know, he sort of... he threatened me at one point and said, "boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute," or something like that, you know. jolly! but i think from the very relaxed tone that he was taking, the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate.

we will be speaking to the director of the documentary series a bit later in the programme. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is travelling tojerusalem today amid rising tensions between israel and the palestinians. he'll meet both sides — separately — following a gun attack outside a synagogue which killed seven israelis, and a military raid on the west bank which left nine palestinians dead. more heavy rain is expected in new zealand after floods in which at least four people have died. the country has been battered by heavy rain since friday and a state of emergency was declared in auckland. meteorologists say another six inches of rain is expected to fall over the next two days. housing developers in england have been told they have six weeks to sign a contract to fix unsafe cladding in their buildings, orface being banned from the market. it's the latest move to resolve the crisis triggered

by the grenfell tower fire, which claimed 72 lives. housing secretary michael gove says building regulations were "faulty and ambiguous" in the run—up to the disaster. it's 8:11am. remember last week, the temperatures were all topsy—turvy. it was warmer in the north than the south. you are quite right. these are the temperatures if you are stepping out now. it is warmer in the south now than the north. four degrees in the north—western wendy with showers. quite a few showers through the night across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and also into the channel islands. many of their showers will fade and their winter woollies as we go through the course of the day. we will start with dry weather and sunshine. a bit of a wind coming in at times in south—west england. more cloud in

hi, boys. why do you think fundamentally men do this kind of thing? because we can. because you can! we can get away with it, basically. i want it to stop. it's about catching these people before they do the worst thing. this is what people have to understand. rape is not an entry—level offence. homicide is not an entry—level offence. there will be signs of that person before they get there. i'm nervous about going public about all this because i put bikini photos up on instagram. i talk about sex in my shows and i'm very cheeky and flirty. there will be people saying, "but you asked for this negative attention. what do you expect?" emilyjoins us now. morning. morning. this is a really brave thing _ morning. morning. this is a really brave thing to _ morning. morning. this is a really brave thing to do. _ morning. morning. this is a really brave thing to do. how— morning. morning. this is a really brave thing to do. how did - morning. morning. this is a really brave thing to do. how did you i morning. morning. this is a really i brave thing to do. how did you start working on it and why was it so important? itaste

helping them, that the allies. they were saying this problem is an older generational thing. were saying this problem is an older generationalthing. i were saying this problem is an older generational thing.— generational thing. i think may be lots of people _ generational thing. i think may be lots of people watching _ generational thing. i think may be lots of people watching this i generational thing. i think may be i lots of people watching this morning will be really shocked even that this happens to you because i know there are probably certain parts of there are probably certain parts of the population you talk about, young girls who are aware of being sent pornographic images. but to lots of people it wouldn't even enter their world. when this first happened to you, what was your reaction? what you, what was your reaction? what did ou you, what was your reaction? what did you do? — you, what was your reaction? what did you do? i _ you, what was your reaction? what did you do? i have _ you, what was your reaction? what did you do? i have had _ you, what was your reaction? mat did you do? i have had things sadly that have happened to me in person as well. the reason why i say this is so important to tackle this online abuse just as seriously as we would if it were industry is because the feeling i get when i am sent a photograph like that, it stands up the same emotions as it happened in real life, when i was a child. if we are using our online space as much

as our streets, it has to be looked at and policed better. the classic block and delete method that people constantly say to me. of course i am well within my power to block and delete a message. when someone sends me a message like that, ok, i can delete it but that image has already gone in. i had to navigate my day trying to understand why that was sent to me, i looked in with that myself and have to go through my day knowing i have seen while knowing this person can go up and maybe commit a worse crime. blocking and deleting, people are asking me to turn a blind eye by blocking and deleting. look what happens when we turn a blind eye! when cousins was a flasher. it starts somewhere. these behaviours we normalise, the catcalling and so on. all of these

behaviours can escalate and turn into something way worse. interesting because one of the tactics i know is ignoring, pretending it is not happening. do not give them the oxygen of publicity. we had a clip here talking to your mum about unsolicited pictures that are sent to you. unsolicited pictures that are sent to ou. ~ . . unsolicited pictures that are sent to ou. ~ ., . , unsolicited pictures that are sent to ou. . ., . , ., unsolicited pictures that are sent toou. , to you. watch this. that is disgusting- _ to you. watch this. that is disgusting. oh, _ to you. watch this. that is disgusting. oh, my- to you. watch this. that is disgusting. oh, my god! i| to you. watch this. that is i disgusting. oh, my god! i cannot disgusting. oh, my god! icannot bring _ disgusting. oh, my god! icannot bring myself to read it. | disgusting. oh, my god! icannot bring myself to read it. i am disgusting. oh, my god! i cannot bring myself to read it. i am used to it now. — bring myself to read it. i am used to it now. i _ bring myself to read it. i am used to it now. i am — bring myself to read it. i am used to it now, i am more _ bring myself to read it. i am used to it now, i am more numb i bring myself to read it. i am used to it now, i am more numb to i bring myself to read it. i am used to it now, i am more numb to it. | bring myself to read it. i am used| to it now, i am more numb to it. it is disgusting really upsets me. the psychological effects of that coming to you _ psychological effects of that coming to you every day. i appreciate you do not _ to you every day. i appreciate you do not tell— to you every day. i appreciate you do not tell me about it every day. of course — do not tell me about it every day. of course not, i would tell you hundreds of times a day. pare of course not, i would tell you hundreds of times a day. are you all riuht? hundreds of times a day. are you all riht? i hundreds of times a day. are you all right? i did — hundreds of times a day. are you all right? i did not _ hundreds of times a day. are you all right? i did not want _ hundreds of times a day. are you all right? i did not want to _ hundreds of times a day. are you all right? i did not want to talk- hundreds of times a day. are you all right? i did not want to talk about i right? i did not want to talk about it. that is hard _ right? i did not want to talk about it. that is hard to _ right? i did not want to talk about it. that is hard to watch _ right? i did not want to talk about it. that is hard to watch for i right? i did not want to talk about it. that is hard to watch for me. i it. that is hard to watch for me. look at the _

our bodies for sexual entertainment. i obviously and someone who speaks very openly and honestly in my shows. —— i obviously am someone. i talk about my six life. i am sexually liberated in that way. from such a young age this was projected on to me. ifeel any such a young age this was projected on to me. i feel any sense such a young age this was projected on to me. ifeel any sense i have had to befriend a situation that came to me at a very young age. it was coping their pennies. now i like to talk about these things in a positive way and show i am a confident person. we should all be able to say these things without judgment or being threatened and without people saying we are asking for it. we are not asking for. do ou for it. we are not asking for. do you know? there are so many layers to it. it is so complicated. for some people in your possession, they

would have said, rather than running with and making a documentary, they would have said, i will ignore this and not let these people who sent the material know i have even seen it. why was it so important for you to take the opposite strategy and almost to empower yourself and other women through your own experience? absolutely. when you have a platform and a voice not everybody has that. so many women will watch this now and say, i have dealt with this my whole life and i have never done anything. i have always blamed myself. all they are scared to say it is happening to them because they have large breasts and blonde hair and they will say, i look a certain way and people will say i attract this unwanted attention. people are frightened to speak up. this is how it has always been. women are frightened to speak out. we are frightened to speak out. we are frightened of being shutdown, frightened of being shutdown, frightened of being shutdown, frightened of having our trauma talented. with that not all men kind

of march, it is so unhelpful. it is immediately doubting our trauma and silencing us and telling us to shut up silencing us and telling us to shut up and stop moaning. you know? that is deeply unfair. we are tired of this. as i said, it is a systemic finger so many layers to it. it is so complicated. i am here to talk about my personal experience, my personaljourney about my personal experience, my personal journey with and about my personal experience, my personaljourney with and howl personally feel about it. any woman who watches it, i hope they will get comfort in knowing it is not about them. it is not about us, we have been told our whole lives what we need to change. i have been told, why don't you do this? why don't you do that? why don't you wear less make—up? why don't you put private things on your instagram? i am sick to death are trying to change myself. i think we all are. it is now at a point where we are tired and we are saying, when at some

point when heavy accountability for this behaviour? people that commit these crimes bizarre crimes. i am being sent rape threats every day, photographs of he needs his every day. it is always about what i can do to change it. what i am standing up do to change it. what i am standing up and shouting from the rooftops is we need to look at the other side. it is not about excluding men from the conversation it is about moving forward together, men and women together, not separately and fighting over it.— together, not separately and fighting over it. fascinating to talk to yom — fighting over it. fascinating to talk to you. thank _ fighting over it. fascinating to talk to you. thank you - fighting over it. fascinating to talk to you. thank you so - fighting over it. fascinating to. talk to you. thank you so much fighting over it. fascinating to - talk to you. thank you so much for coming in. please come back. you can watch emily atack: asking for it? tomorrow at 9pm on bbc two, and afterwards on the iplayer.

if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this discussion, you can find help and advice at bbc.co.uk/actionline. morning live follows us on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with kym and gethin. you have company. making some strange noises. so lovely to have dolly. that means james greenmeadow shone the show today. coming up on morning live... with heating now a luxury for some, we're talking to dr ranj about the deadly rise in hypothermia. he tells us how to spot the early signs and why a hot bath is a bad idea. plus, ourfinance expert, iona bain, explains how you could pocket a cold weather payment worth £25 a week if below freezing temperatures continue where you live.

if facing higher energy bills and rising food prices wasn't enough, michelle ackerley investigates how some beauty brands are charging women more money for products, like razors and body washes than men — even if they're pretty much the same. also today, with millions relying on prescription medication, we find out how fake online pharmacies are cashing in by selling illegal and unsafe drugs to unsuspecting customers and how you can spot them. and they've been appointed the new hosts of the hit bbc quiz show pointless. presenter konnie huq and comedian alex brooker tell us why they're feeling the pressure, stepping into richard osman's size iii shoes. we will see you at quarter past nine. where has dolly gone? she has gone to play with james. he has breakfast, probably. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning. i'm asad ahmad. staff who lost their jobs at the weekend due to the collapse of the airline flybe have been advised to apply for roles with easyjet and ryanair. the airline went into administration on saturday with the loss of over 250 jobs. the budget airlines operating from gatwick, luton and stansted said they have vacancies for pilots, engineers, ground staff and cabin crew — and are encouraging out of work flybe staff to apply. police are still appealing for information and witnesses to comes forward after a man was stabbed at harrods in knightsbridge. it followed a fight on saturday evening, leaving a 29—year—old with stab and slash wounds. he was taken to hospital and isn't in a life—threatening condition. no arrests have been made and officers are studying cctv footage. with the ultra low emission zone expansion around seven months away, some drivers may be able to get up to £2000 for their old car from today. the scrappage scheme is aimed at getting higher polluting vehicles off london's roads, and drivers can apply online for the payment

from this morning. it's for people on low incomes, disability benefits and for eligible businesses employing fewer than ten people. over a £100 million has been set aside for the payments. and in connection to the expansion — you can read about how some councils are trying to put pressure on the mayor to scrap his plans on our website. there's a billion—pound tunnel being built across london, which you probably won't know about. it's a power tunnel stretching 20 miles from wimbledon to bexley and its purpose is to supply electricity to the capital in the future. this tunnelling project is replacing circuits that were commissioned in 1967. they will allow us to uprate the circuits to facilitate future demand. so that will come from things like electric vehicles and the volume of residential development and the residential energy load that comes with that. let's take a look at the tubes now.

it has been a good day so far. a good service on all lines which is unusual but welcome. good morning. we start the day in mid single figures celsius feeling a little less cold. today it's dry, it's fine, we've got plenty of winter sunshine. now the wind is fairly light but it's a northwesterly, a little bit of patchy cloud. but as i said, lots of sunshine today and temperatures reaching a maximum of ioc. so we're back up in double figures. into this evening, the first part at least, it's dry and it's clear. through the middle part of the night, though, our next front just starts to sweep across and that's going to bring some more cloud. also the wind is going to strengthen through the night as well. the could bring the odd spot of light rain as we head through to tuesday morning. the minimum temperature still chilly at around 2c. so a cloudier start tomorrow morning. we might get a spot or two of rain. low pressure to the north of scotland. that front, however, clears through tuesday afternoon. it's still going to be quite breezy.

a northwesterly wind, but we'll see some sunshine later on in the day and temperatures tomorrow getting up potentially to 12 celsius. that's it. i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it's another big week for strikes — with rail workers, teachers and civil servants all taking industrial action. nina has the details. it is important to know what is happening and when so we can plan around it. good morning. it's likely you have by now been affected by indistrial action in some way. and we are entering another week that looks set to be particularly disruptive. here's the calender for the week ahead, which will hopefully help you to plan. let's start with teachers — a big impact if you're a parent.

in scotland, strikes started last week and will continue until friday. the exact date will depend on which local authority you are under. in england and wales, wednesday is the first day of a series of planned strikes for teachers in february and march. although it's not a blanket closure — some classes stay open depending on the individual teachers. why are they striking? most teachers in scotland, wales and england have been offered at least a 5% pay rise. but the unions argue that rising prices mean in real terms — their pay has been cut over the past 12 years. train drivers are also striking this week — there'll be a big impact on iii providers on wednesday and friday. the aslef union is largely deadlocked in talks over pay. the ongoing wider dispute with the rmt is also about terms and conditions. again — the impact will depend where you live. the advice is to think carefully about whether you need to travel

on those days. where does this leave you if you can't get to work, or need to be at home caring for children — where working might be a bit tricky. the advice is to talk to your boss now. it would be remiss of employers not to say to employees strikes are pending, what arrangements have you got in place? and then they could sit down and have honest and open discussions about plans in place, anyone that is really struggling to overcome childcare issues or travel plans. and if they have exhausted all options, and all potential routes to overcome the problem, what are the other options? annual leave, working from home, working the hours back. and i think that two—way dialogue is really important. wednesday will also see 70,000 staff at 150 universities across the uk striking. the union representing lecturers and academics and support staff wants an above inflation payrise — but the universities

and college employers association says that will putjobs at risk. and 100,000 civil servants across more than 100 government departments are also striking. it's about pay, pensions and job security. it all comes as the government continues with its new strike legislation — which goes back before the house of commons today. the government says it will mean there'll have to be a minimum service level when strikes take place — which they say will keep everyone safe. but unions say it's too far—reaching. there is legislation elsewhere in other countries. but i can't find anywhere which would threaten to sack workers if they didn't comply with this, which would threaten to take unions to court if they didn't comply, so it is very different. a lot of the countries, they have these agreements in place, but they are voluntary agreements. 0r sometimes itjust involves having unions giving a bit more notice about strikes. this is why the unions here are calling it draconian. they say it goes far

further than anything anywhere across the world. if it feels like this is a big time for strikes — that's because it is. the escalating action towards the end of last year meant 2022 was the biggest year for working days affected by industrial action since 1990. next week will see nurses, physiotherapists and midwives all set to join in strike action. and later we'll get the results of the firefighters ballot, too. so almost everyone will be affected in some way. and most of the strikes we are talking about this week and next week are within the public sector. we are in a situation where public sector workers say they cannot live on this any more but the government and local authorities say they do not have the budget to pay any more. they are looking at national debt and interest on it so it is deadlocked on both sides.

thank you. a group of mps is calling for a compensation scheme for nhs staff who are unable to work because they are living with long covid. a panorama investigation has found that some are now starting to lose theirjobs, while others are dropping onto half pay. health correspondent catherine burns has the details. we clapped for them every thursday. now some health workers say they feel abandoned. for me, it's a living, breathing beast. we've had to sell the family home. i i look at the future and i think, | "is this going to be me forever?" rachel is a nurse at a community hospital in devon, but she's not been to work for more than two years. there are days when i honestly can't even get out of the house. rachel has long covid, with symptoms ranging from chest pain and brain fog to hearing loss and heart issues. when the pandemic first started,

new sick pay rules came in for many nhs staff. if they got coronavirus or long covid, they could be paid in full until they got better. but that has changed. now they're being treated like anyone else and some face going on to half pay in march. rachel says she'll lose £1,000 a month. so how worried are you about money? really worried. i do appreciate the nhs can't pay us forever, but there's hope we can actually bring something back to the nhs again, you know? the torbay and south devon nhs foundation trust says it can't comment because there's a legal claim. it says it's extremely grateful to staff who worked tirelessly during the pandemic. bbc panorama has tried to assess how many staff are off sick with long covid. the nhs in england and wales don't record this. northern ireland does and says 0.6%

of its workforce is off with it. for scotland, it's 0.3%. if those rates were reflected across the uk, it could mean between 5,000 and 10,000 nhs staff absent. we have this group of people — they're just in a no man's land. we don't have the support for them and actually that genuinely makes me angry. brenda eadie is a nurse. she has long covid and is losing herjob. i'd done what was asked of me. i went into the front line — i'd done myjob and now i'm just collateral damage. she'd hoped to get early retirement on the grounds of ill health, but says before she applied, she was given notice. i got a phone call from a manager to let me know that a letter was coming in the post — not to panic when i saw it. and it was my termination of employment. and i wasjust like, "oh, 0k. what do i do now then?"

brenda's employers say they ensure all hr policies, which are set at a national level, are followed at all times and they do not recognise a number of points she has made. a cross—party group of politicians are calling for compensation for health workers with long covid. we are falling behind our peers in our recognition of this as a real disease that needs proper recognition and compensation. so all those frontline workers that we clapped for on a thursday, especially the ones who have lost theirjob, and don't have any money, now, have something that they can fall back on. nhs guidelines encourage managers to test all options to get staff back to work. the government says it will respond openly to the covid 19 public inquiry. it could take years to complete. i have always been in the nhs but, on this occasion, the nhs let me down. catherine burns, bbc news. bbc panorama — forgotten heroes of the covid front line is on bbc

iplayer now and on bbc one at 8pm tonight. john is hit with a sport and catching our breath after a busy fa cup weekend. there is a sprinkling of hollywood star dust since ryan reynolds invested in wrexham. i suppose the cynic would say there is something in it for them with sponsorship deals, a documentary out, and i am sure money coming back to them. but they have invested a lot in the community. we have this morning how they have reached out to the fans, helping the community. they are in the fifth tier of english football and narrowly missed out on a huge upset yesterday but they have ambitions of taking the club forward. he said it is a decades long project. they will not disappear. it is interesting. everyone knows who they are. they are not as shady

businessman character, shall we say. if things go wrong, everyone knows where they are. morning. it's a hollywood stroyline in it's own way and one ryan reynolds hopes will lead to the premier league. last night they scored late on against sheffield united who were down to ten men — a goal they thought had put them into the fifth round. but cue the cliffhanger, united equalised with two minutes of added time remaining to force a replay. reynolds was put through the full range of emotions, and despite missing out on a memorable cup upset yesterday, the league leaders are on course for promotion to the football league. and speaking before the game, reynolds said their aims go further. in ten years, the plan is... it has

always been premier league. i cannot put a date on that but if it is possible to go from fifth division to premier league, why wouldn't we? nobody has done anything great in the world saying, let's go our way. we want to go all the way and believe we can expand this incredible stadium, the oldest international football stadium on earth, to something that would support international matches and premier league team. that is the goal. he is full of enthusiasm. nowhere near good enough — that's the stark assessment of liverpool's season from defender andy robertson who was the stand—in captain as the holders exited the fa cup. kaoru mitoma with a brilliant goal in stoppage time. they do remain in the champions league but after so much success, rebuilding continues.

we had worse games when we got not out of the fa cup or whatever cup competition than today. but in general, the situation we have, we wanted to show a reaction. we showed a reaction but in the end it was not enough. fisappointment for england's cricketers who lost their one day series with south africa. incredible piece of fielding from a fan in the ground. an incredible one—handed catch. unbelievable. look at that. england would probably wish he was on the field. david miller hit that and hit the winning runs. south africa beat england. unbelievable. it is a miracle. you always see it, certainly in american sport, people holding a beer in the crowd and catch one. good skills. he did it while getting himself above the ground.

the weekend made right there. it was billed as the coolest club you never want to be a part of and a candid guide to all the highs and lows of cancer. now, after five years of laughter, tears and honesty, the podcast you me and the big c has reached the end of an era. hosts lauren mahon and steve bland have recorded their last episode, and it was a very special one. tim muffett was there. we are three friends, we are also bloggers, we all have one thing in common — we all have or we have had cancer. rachael bland, lauren mahon and dame deborahjames. the original presenters of you, me and the big c. launched in 2018, it was funny... i'm not going to look at you. i'm going to... a crying poo is not what we need right now. laughter. it was heartbreaking. all the way home, i was just saying to freddie, i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry. aw.

don't, because you're going to make me... i sorry. it's the first thing that made me cry and the whole12 episodes. now a very special episode. you, me and the big c, we are going live to a studio audience. and we are very excited. cheering. dame deborahjames died last year. rachael bland died in 2018. her husband, steve, then became one of the presenters. hello, everyone. hello, everyone, good evening. welcome to you, me and the big c live! it feels like kind of the essence of the podcast. it was never reallyjust meant to be in a studio talking to a microphone. it's bringing people here who, i imagine most of them are quite experienced, or have something to do with cancer. and, you know, sharing the podcast with them. i'm the fifth person in my family to develop breast cancer. why did you want to share it publicly? i thought i could wait until the surgery is over and i hopefully make it through and i'm feeling stronger and feeling ok to talk about it,

but that could be months. i've listened from virtually- the first episode and they have totally altered the perception of canceh _ i do encourage everyone to get a colonoscopy if you have been scheduled for one. don't be scared of them because they are quite funny, at the same time. you talk about shining light in the dark. i really felt an affinity, - particularly with rachael bland, because i had exactly the same type as breast cancer as her. _ and it gave me hope. you need to know where you are so that you can get on and do the things that you need to do. unfortunately c is in our life, everyone's life, at some point. and so, yeah, it resonates massively. he is now officially in remission. cheering. you, me and the big c has made people laugh, it's made people cry, but, most importantly, it has been informative. both the nhs and the institute of cancer research say it's given a major boost to the number

of people checking potential cancer symptoms early. last year, honorary doctorate degrees were awarded to lauren and steve for the impact the podcast has had. a posthumous degree was awarded to dame deborahjames, whose sister sarah and brother ben were at the live show. i think the spontaneity of her is how i remember her. and just her laugh. # baby, when you touch me like this... _ she just had this vision of wanting to give more people more time through doing something good and using her platform to raise as much money, as much engagement, as much awareness as she could, really. it must make you feel immensely proud? yes. tinged with sadness, obviously, deborah not being here any more, but the legacy she's left behind. this is what deborah wanted. lauren and steve are now stepping away from the podcast. it has been a massive privilege.

you have been like our therapy group, our best mates, our support group, our everything. so it's been... oh, it is going to get all teary now, isn't it? it's like a very organic end for us to step back because we've both got... i've not had cancer for five years. steve has moved on with his life, remarried. yeah, hopefully, we have done a good job in changing the way people talk about cancer. by talking, listening and sharing, the impact of this podcast has been profound. you can listen to that special episode of "you, me and the big c" and all the previous episodes on bbc sounds. they have done such a brilliantjob. it is like a library you can go back to. the community. the goodwill in the audience.

here's carol. ican i can see sunshine. it is lovely. good morning. this is a weather watcher picture taken earlier in scarborough. beautiful blue sky. and another beauty. this one from wales. a little bit more cloud in the west but still we have sunshine. what is happening today, we have strong wind from the overnight period which will ease as high—pressure bills. later, a weather front brings cloud and rain to the west. just now, we still have showers in parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, the channel islands. most of these will fade. a lot of us will have a dry day with sunshine. by the end of the afternoon, the cloud builds in the afternoon, the cloud builds in the west. later, we see rain. the

rain will be heaviest in scotland and northern ireland with cloud ahead of it. as the rain move south it will weaken as it moves across england and wales. the wind will strengthen by the end of the night and that will be blowing showers across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. those in scotland are likely to be wintry on the tops of hills and mountains. in the tops of hills and mountains. in the south—east, not as windy. with clear skies, temperatures may fall as low as freezing so here are a small chance of frost. if we pick up the weather front tomorrow, it pushes southwards. look at the squeeze on the isobars, especially in the north. we will start with gales across parts of the north and west. the wind will strengthen. potentially touching severe gales in lewes and the far north of mainland scotland and orkney. moving south, drier conditions and not as windy

and we have a high of up to 12 and in the sunshine that will feel pleasant. by the time we get from tuesday afternoon into tuesday evening and the overnight period, the wind will be a feature of the weather in the north. gusts with exposure in excess of 80 mph which are potentially damaging gusts of wind. especially areas i mentioned, the isle of lewis, northern mainland scotland and also orkney. through the night and into wednesday, low pressure across the north of scotland bringing the squeeze on isobars moves. you will find the wind will start to ease. not a breezy day and a lot of dry weather. weather from the west brings rain. these are the temperatures, s—ii. thank you. you will like this. we are going low retro.

i'm not sure you will love this. she likes gadgets. when the first home computers and gaming consoles were launched in the 1970s, it all felt very futuristic. now they're being exhibited in a new museum. let's take a look at a few key dates. computers were developed for research in the 1930s but it was the altair 8800 which sparked the home computer era in 197a. after its success as an arcade game, home pong was developed for our own tv screens in 1975. only the lucky few have them then. it was in 1989 when nintendo released its first game boy, with the likes of super mario land and tetris making it an immediate success. and the world wide web has been around since 1991, although the first email had been

sent two decades earlier. this technology is now so ancient that it's being exhibited in a new museum, in leigh in greater manchester. peter ruddick is there. hello. what have you found? that is riaht, hello. what have you found? that is right. welcome _ hello. what have you found? that is right, welcome back _ hello. what have you found? that is right, welcome back to _ hello. what have you found? that is right, welcome back to the - hello. what have you found? that is| right, welcome back to the computer museum in leigh near wigan. this is bringing back memories. not all of them good. i have been on this bank of pcs, the screensaver is identical to the one i did my homework on. i can hear the dial to the one i did my homework on. i can hearthe dial up to the one i did my homework on. i can hear the dial up noise. remember that? �* , that? beeping. it is quite - that? beeping. - it is quite triggering that? beeping. _ it is quite triggering listening to that now is you had to hope your mum would not call her friends as you try to work on the internet at the same time. you have all sorts of
