disappeared a week ago, while walking her dog in st michael's on wyre. we can speak now to our reporter, dave guest, while walking her dog in st michael's on wyre. who joins us from that area. in st michael's on wyre. dave — how extensive has the search been so far? nothing much happening here because it is still dark but when then it arrives, we will have search teams looking for clues to find out what happened to nicola bulley. one week ago this morning herfamily happened to nicola bulley. one week ago this morning her family were facing what they thought would be a run—of—the—mill, routine friday that turned out to be the start of a nightmare which, as yet, shows no sign of ending. seven days of searching, but still no sign of nicola bulley. the wait for news is as agonising as it is frustrating for her family. people don'tjust vanish into thin air.

there has got to be somebody that knows something, and all we are asking, no matter how small or big, is if there is anything that— you can remember that doesn't seem right, then please reach out to the police, please just get in touch. 45—year—old nicola dropped her children at school last friday morning, went for a walk with her dog by the river wyre, and hasn't been seen since. her springer spaniel was found wandering on its own near the place where nicola was last seen. her phone was abandoned on a park bench, still connected to a business conference call. the police have been looking for her since she was reported missing last friday. this is a very beautiful, rural area with lots of wooded areas, and a river — a lot of complex terrain to search. back home, nicola's two little girl and partner paul are left bewildered. paul says they are living in a perpetual hell. friends, neighbours,

fire and rescue and mountain rescue teams have joined the police in searching for nicola. nikcy has two children at home, want to know where their mummy is, and we have had so many offers of help and support, which is amazing, and we want to thank you, and i know the family thank you very much. yesterday the police asked for a dog walker dressed in a red coat to come forward as a possible witness. they traced her last evening but, so far, no sign of nicola. detectives say they are keeping an open mind about what has happened to nicola bulley, and, for now, speculation about what might have happened remains just that. says speculation is not helpful, what they need are facts and information from anyone who might have seen nicola here in st michael's last friday, particularly around the ten past nine mark, the bass i think they have a hard done by the river. soon after that her dog was found and that phone still connected to a work conference call.

people in this village have been joining search parties to try to find some trace of nicola but as yet, there is no trace. for her family, hertwo yet, there is no trace. for her family, her two young children and her partner, of course, that nightmare continues. we will be updating you as the morning goes on. dave, for the moment, thank you. the energy regulator ofgem has asked suppliers to pause the forced installation of prepayment meters. it follows revelations that a debt collection company working for british gas broke into the homes of vulnerable people to install the meters — a practice condemned by campaigners, the prime minister and the boss of british gas. ben king has more. an undercover reporter from the times newspaperjoined a team of debt collectors, entering the home of a single father. with three young children. excitement, here. i love this bit. they count as vulnerable.

but, these workers from arvato, working for british gas, opened the door and installed a prepayment meter anyway. installing prepayment meters by force is legal, but it's meant to be a last resort, and should not be done to vulnerable households. if people cannot afford to top up the meters, they will be left without power. the boss of british gas has apologised, suspended arvato, and paused forced installations. arvato said it respected and adhered to the rules. the energy regulator ofgem has now stepped in. the chief executivejonathan brearley said in a statement...

there are clear rules. they have oppositely not been followed, and therefore i need the regulator, i need the companies to do the right thing by people who are in the most difficult of circumstances, and have been treated, on this evidence, appallingly. the energy industry will now have to find a better way to treat vulnerable customers, in this most difficult of winters. ben king, bbc news. the australian tennis player nick kyrgios has pleaded guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend. mr kyrgios will not face conviction, after the charge was dismissed in court. phil mercerjoins us from canberra now. phil, what happened in court? nick kyrgios's lawyers say the sort, in january 2021, was out nick kyrgios's lawyers say the sort, injanuary 2021, was out of character and genuinely an isolated incident for which he has shown

remorse. there was sympathy from the magistrate, beth campbell, saying that nick kyrgios was guilty of a single act of stupidity carried out in the heat of the moment, and she said that she would be treating him the same as any other young man who came before her, at court, here in the australian capital, even though nick kyrgios in the words of the magistrate was capable of hitting a tennis ball very well. no conviction has been recorded, no good behaviour bond has been imposed, so what this means is that nick kyrgios does not have a criminal record, which will not impede his ability to travel internationally for his dayjob. he arrived in court on the crutches after the hearing. he released a statement, saying that he deeply regretted what had happened and that he was sorry for the hurt he had caused. we heard, via the prosecutor in court from his former girlfriend

kiara pesari, that she felt she had been betrayed by nick kyrgios and that the assault a couple of years ago had caused her pain and distress. nick kyrgios left court on crutches after that knee surgery, and he is free to continue his international playing career. thank ou ve international playing career. thank you very much. — international playing career. thank you very much, phil— international playing career. thank you very much, phil mercer, - international playing career. thank you very much, phil mercer, in - you very much, phil mercer, in canberra. passengers have been warned to expect another day of severe disruption on the railways, as more than 20,000 train drivers go on strike. our reporter vincent mcaviney is at euston station in london this morning. give us a snapshot of where you are and what they will look like. train stations across _ and what they will look like. train stations across england _ and what they will look like. t': “1 stations across england and and what they will look like. t: “i stations across england and much of wales and scotland will be as quiet as it is here at euston station in london because, for the second time this week, there is industrial

action. train drivers from 16 operators will be out on strike in this long—running dispute over pay and conditions. if wednesday is anything to go by, around one third of services are expected to be running which means it is the same advice as the last few months, don't go to the station without checking first with your operator. many lines will be effectively quiet. there is no update on the negotiations in this dispute. the unions, last month, rejected an offer of 4% in two years. that is because they could not get on board with the conditions, they said the changes were not acceptable to them. there will also be strikes today in london on abellio buses in the south and west of the city but some good news, these are the last scheduled train strikes until at least february 19, which means if you are travelling

this weekend and the following two weekends it looks like it will be clear although there might be some knock—on effect tomorrow morning as we have seen with recent strikes. just to be aware, next week will see some of the biggest industrial action not on the railway spot in the nhs with nurses, midwives, and physiotherapist, all going on strike over several days. the long—running inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal of the 19705 and �*80s will hear closing statements later today. it's been called the biggest treatment disaster in nhs history, with 30,000 people thought to have been infected with hiv or hepatitis c. our health correspondent, jim reed, has more. this nobody in the threckhold household thought that they could be affected by aids. in 1991, the bbc broadcast this landmark documentary about the aids crisis. i had a blood test which

the hospital confirmed was hav. bob threckhold was infected after being given contaminated drug for the blood disorder, haemophilia. you see things on television, it is so far removed from everything you know, you don't even consider that you could be part of anything like that, but you can. now a retired teacher, sue has spent decades trying to find out what happened and what was known about the risks. over time, we have battled, mps, various parliamentarians, civil servants, the medical profession, pharmaceutical companies, itjust goes on and on. bob died just months after that programme is filmed. so, in about 87, 88. yeah. about '87. he was one of thousands infected with hiv or hepatitis after taking drugs imported from abroad, or being given a transfusion.

it is just sad, because it is this life that i was living perfectly happily and then it went. everything went. long—running protests eventually lead to a government apology and the launch of a full public inquiry. i would like to say sorry on behalf of the government for something that should not have happened. since 2018... prime ministers and health secretaries have all been questioned under oath. it became more and more real and more and more scary. and those directly affected, including sue, have been given the chance to have their say. we are fed up with hearing people say how sorry they are. later today the last witness will take the stand with a final report expected in the summer. i would like the truth out there. i would like to know that proper measures were put in place to make sure that this can't happen again. it was cataclysmic, you know, and itjust ripped families apart, including mine. late last year, the first compensation payments were made to some of those affected. after a0 years, though,

many families are still hoping for answers, as this long—running public inquiry draws to a close. jim reed, bbc news. inspectors have raised concerns about a women's prison after reports that inmates — many with mental health problems — were being held in cells they described as "appalling, dilapidated and covered in graffiti". the prison service said some cells at eastwood park, in gloucestershire, had already been refurbished — and that it was appointing more staff. inspectors say they were concerned for the welfare of inmates. i remember in one cell, seeing claw marks on the wall, seeing blood on the wall, graffiti everywhere and coming across a woman who was in enormous distress, who needed a great deal of help and support from skilled professionals. she simply wasn't getting it. the staff were doing their best but they didn't have the support, they didn't have the skillset to be able to deal with the women in their care. and therefore the standards of neglect and the poor accommodation

was really catastrophic. officials are gathering in kyiv for the first eu—ukraine summit since russia invaded almost a year ago. our ukraine correspondentjames waterhouse joins us now. how important is this meeting in terms of what might be produced and what might tangibly come out of it? this is one of those days when substance and symbolism really do combine. on the eu side there is a reported dress code for officials to stick to the conventional suits, for them not to wear the green khaki colours of the ukrainian leader volodymyr zelensky. as for ukraine, this is something that this country has politically wanted for some time. he says ukraine deserves negotiations to start on european union membership. he had a meeting

with ursula von der leyen, the head of the eu commission yesterday, where they talked about another round, a tenth round of sanctions for russia, economic punishments, they talked about continued military and financial support as well as helping ukraine repair its damaged infrastructure as russia continues to target power stations across the country so they have a lot of substance there, but president zelensky privately knows that joining the european union will take years, if not decades. you just need to look at other members, and not just that, it takes the other 27 states to approve any kind of potential membership. that is made all the more difficult while his country continues to defend itself against a full—scale invasion. we must remind ourselves of that. it is something, politically, ukraine wants, and something that triggered russia's nine year campaign of aggression, in 2014.—

russia's nine year campaign of aggression, in 2014. thank you very much, aggression, in 2014. thank you very much. james _ aggression, in 2014. thank you very much, james waterhouse, - aggression, in 2014. thank you very much, james waterhouse, in - aggression, in 2014. thank you very much, james waterhouse, in kyiv. i the us is tracking a suspected chinese surveillance balloon that has been spotted flying over sensitive sites in recent days. the balloon was most recently seen high above the western state of montana, which is home to several nuclear missile sites, and it's also been spotted over alaska and canada. china has not commented on the claim. a huge monument described as the "stonehenge of the north" will be opened up to the public from today. experts say the thornborough henges complex in north yorkshire is one of the most important ancient sites in britain. english heritage was given control of the monument by the landowners and it will now be opened to visitors. our reporterjohn maguire will be there having a good look round later. if you want to get to the big circle point you have to walk all the way right round those fields. we

have john the way right round those fields. we havejohn there. matt the way right round those fields. we have john there. matt would the way right round those fields. we havejohn there. matt would know, matt has got the weather for us. a moody sky behind you, good morning. moody weather this morning, thank you and good morning to you all. if you and good morning to you all. if you would like to head out this morning there is some light rain or drizzle tracking eastward through the day but what you will notice is it is pretty mild. look at some of those temperatures. it is an early february morning and these are the temperatures, high as you'd expect on a february afternoon and climbing as we go through the day. some light rain and wrestled towards the west of scotland, northern ireland, western england and wales, thicker cloud tracking eastwards after a bright start in the east with morning sunshine, clouding over into the afternoon. western area should brighten up with more sunshine and the odd splash of light rain or drizzle, but the wind will be easing compared to this morning. it has been a wild night across orkney but those wins coming in from the

atlantic, just look at the afternoon temperatures, 8—14. get a bit of sunshine and it will probably feel like early spring this afternoon. a mild night to come, plenty of cloud around, breaks in a cloud across eastern areas meaning it will be cooler than last night but still, pretty mild and a frost free night taking us into a largely cloudy saturday with a few glimpses of sunshine for england and wales, scotland seeing some rain but by sunday, bucketloads of sunshine to come throughout the day after a rather chilly start. that is how it is looking, back to you, naga and charlie. , . . ~ charlie. very clever graphic, i like what ou charlie. very clever graphic, i like what you have _ charlie. very clever graphic, i like what you have done _ charlie. very clever graphic, i like what you have done there. - let's take a look at today's papers. one week on and the disappearance of nicola bulley dominates the front page of the daily mail. the paper has images of the mother—of—two and her parents, who issued an emotional appeal for information yesterday —

it also quotes her sister who said "people don'tjust vanish into thin air." the times follows up on its investigation which found that debt collectors for british gas had broken into vulnerable people's homes to fit prepayment meters. british gas has now been banned from force—fitting them to protect vulnerable customers. the uk is set to enter recession this year but it will be shorter and less severe than previously thought, according to the bank of england. the daily telegraph leads with this but the paper also reports that one of the causes, is that the country's workforce is shrinking and has been permanently damaged by the pandemic. and spare a thought for the parents of six—year—old mason stonehouse from michigan. he managed to run up a takeaway bill of more than £800, or $1,000, on his dad's phone, ordering everything from prawns to pizzas. you can watch the full interview with mason and his exasperated parents on the bbc news website. a quick look at the inside pages,

what is going on with men wearing shorts all the way through the winter? i do see this, they are very hardy. sales have gone up a lot. these are figures from john lewis. how do you know that they are shorts? they have made the mistake of cropping the picture a little too high! sales of shorts held up through the winterfor high! sales of shorts held up through the winter for men, particularly chino style shorts, so more men wearing shorts during winter. what is that all about? have you? i do wear shorts in winter sometimes, yes. the theory goes that your legs do not feel the cold as much as other parts of your body so if you are wrapped up elsewhere affect you. we'll be shorts today? i don't know, i likely! matt will keep

us up to date with whether it is weather for shorts throughout the morning. it's been almost a year since the invasion of ukraine began — and for much of that time the country's energy grid has been the key focus of russian attacks. keeping the power supply going is a massive challenge — but paul adams has met the people who work day and night to do exactly that. ukraine's energy war — a constant battle for heat and light. a race to keep up with russian attacks. for a week we followed the teams fighting this war. what the missiles destroy they rebuild — in places where people are living on the edge. for months, russian missiles and drones have rained down on ukraine's civilian infrastructure, causing untold damage all across this vast country.

what happened here? this power plant in central ukraine has been hit repeatedly. it's a huge place, but this is what well—aimed russian missiles have done to its transformers. vital links to the world outside. for security reasons, we've been asked not to identify the plant or its manager. these. everywhere across here. every time the equipment is damaged, it gets all of us right _ here in our soul. because it's our life. i it's our second family. millions of people depend on this coal—fired power station built in the soviet era. fantastic machine. its great turbines churning away at the heart of ukraine's sprawling power grid. but the staff here know they're in russia's sights. so there's the siren. we have been expecting

it this morning. we have to get out of the turbine hall and head straight for the shelter. on days like these, hours are spent underground. anxious moments as news comes in of a fresh wave of attacks. their colleagues at a power station in the west have taken a direct hit. they know this could have been them. and closer to home, word is spreading of something much worse. across town, a tragedy is unfolding. a missile almost certainly aimed at the power station has struck an apartment building instead. the rescue effort is frantic. 46 people have died here. we travel south towards communities under fire. ukraine's army of engineers racing from one repairjob to the next.

this happens all the time, vladimir tells me. we're on our way to a village shelled just last night. the power lines are down again. the repairs won't take long, but the men know they'll be back. it's just a terror. this is pure terror, terrorizing the population, causing maximum damage to the infrastructure. this is a tactic of the russians on the other side of the reservoir. in the village, the sound of artillery has the mayor ducking for cover. how long do you think you can carry on living here in this situation? those who wanted to leave left already. those who can't leave stay. as long as we have even a bit of electricity and water we will carry on living.

russia thought it would break ukraine. but this energy war isn't working. half the grid may be in tatters, but in helmets and body armour, these men are keeping it alive. paul adams, bbc news, eastern ukraine. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. train services in and around london will be severely disrupted today as rail unions aslef and the rmt stage another strike. it's part of a long—running dispute over pay. there will be no trains on services including chiltern, gatwick or heathrow express, southeastern, southern and thameslink. london overground is unaffected by

the strike and south western railway are intending to run a full service. the number of rough sleepiers in london has increased by 21% in a year, according to the latest figures from city hall. the highest numbers were found in the city of london, westminster and the south bank, with high concentrations also seen in woolwich, stratford and at heathrow. the overwhelming majority were men, who made up about 83% of the total recorded. a campaign group, which formed to save liverpool street station from developers in the 19705 has reformed after new plans have been put forward. the liverpool street station campaign is now fighting against what they're labelling as "insensitive and harmful" plans by the developers of the shard to remove the station's roof and original entrance in order to build a ten—storey hotel and office block. network rail say it will provide "long lasting benefits." a man, whose lorry was used to dump waste at a business park in dartford has been sent to prison.

james atkins, from essex, was given 16 months after being found guilty of owning or having control of a lorry that was used to dump brick rubble, soils and plastic at night at swan business park. cctv footage showed a tipper truck registered to atkins being driven onto the site at almost midnight when the waste was unloaded. barbecues will be banned in islington parks to protect the environment and reduce air pollution. the council estimates it will save £50,000 a year in security costs at highbury fields alone. last summer's extreme heat wave saw an unprecedented number of grass fires. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. hello there. good morning. with high pressure sitting just towards the south of us, and it is set to stay dry as we head through the rest of this week, with a mild air hanging on until we get to sunday, when it will turn colder by day

with some frosty nights into the start of next week. now, this morning, a very mild, start to the day, temperatures no lower than 6 to 8 degrees celsius. there will be plenty of cloud around at times today, especially through the afternoon towards eastern areas of town in particular, but also some bright and some sunny spells. there's a noticeable westerly wind, but it's not as blustery as it has been in the last couple of days or so. temperatures as high as 13 or 14 degrees celsius. so very mild for this time of year. it stays dry, cloudy and mild overnight tonight. it's a little cooler and certainly very cloudy tomorrow, on saturday. but by sunday, lots of sparkling winter sunshine and a colder feel to things. a frosty night to follow into monday morning. that's it. keep up to date by downloading the bbc news app. we'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast

with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning... trekking the icy cold cairngorm mountains. this is the challenge ahead for the three celebrities, who are taking part in this year's red nose day challenge — we'll reveal who they are later. dame prue leith will be here to tell us about going out on tour with her very first stage show at the age of 82. and matt goss is also touring the uk — this time with the royal philharmonic orchestra. he's on the sofa before 9 o'clock. you can never really have too much of that view of the candle ms. it is stunning. —— the can

motor neurone disease campaigners have met the health secretary steve barclay and called on him to speed up access to £50 million of funding for research into the condition that was promised more than a year ago. it comes as a new documentary — which will air tonight on bbc two — highlights the efforts of rugby star kevin sinfield to raise the profile of the disease to help find a cure. he's been inspired to take on epic challenges by his friend and former teammate, rob burrow, who is living with mnd. graham satchell reports. tonight's documentary on bbc two tells the inside story of kevin sinfield's epic challenges. it shows the pain he went through to raise money for his friend rob burrow and motor neurone disease. you ok? didn't think he was going to get out of bed for us. i told you to stay in bed. kevin sinfield, rob burrow, doddie weir and others have changed the narrative on mnd. they have galvanised experts, researchers and government.

the health secretary steve barclay at king's college london, meeting some of the world's leading researchers. it's something that's really captured people's imaginations. they've seen the remarkable story we doddie weir, rob burrows, the campaigning people like kevin sinfield. and there's real urgency now, both within government, within the scientific community and within campaigners to really target getting a cure and to get that collaboration to do so. the brain is hugely complex. there have been promising breakthroughs in recent months. scientists are more confident today than they have been in decades. if you look at hiv, that was initially thought to be completely incurable and it was a terrible condition and everybody died from it. now it's really an inconvenience. you just take a tablet and it's controlled. and i think hopefully with motor neurone disease, we'll have the same kind of approach. we understand much more about motor neurone disease now than ever before. we're at a tipping point. and that's really why we want this government money now. it's why we want this mnd research institute to be something we can all coalesce around. the government has promised £50 million for new research.

30 million has been successfully allocated — much of it to a new national mnd institute. scientists and researchers across the country working together. but there's a row about the rest of the money is bringing but there's a row about the rest of the money. it is bringing that collaboration to that shared mission and the fact that it is a uk wide endeavour. the department of health and steve barclay chairs a roundtable discussion with researchers. the government says the remaining money has to go through a separate, different process — individual bids judged by officials in the department. we've shown we can collaborate and work well together. we would like the 50 million of funding to be directed towards that rather than bitty, uncoordinated bids to different funding bodies and so on, with different centres leading different bids. you're worried about it? i'm worried that if we don't do it in this coordinated way,

we won't get the step change potential, which i think the institute will bring if it's properly funded. also at the meeting, david representing patients with mnd. steve barclay said today one of the kind of disappointing things he said, i can't override my advisers. would you expect me to be able to do that? i'd say yes, please. for me, it harks back to yes, prime minister, etc. oh, no, sir, we can't do it that way. so yeah, please let our top neuroscientists get on with it. the health secretary insists he wants the money to be used as effectively as possible. from a ministerial point of view, that money's ready to go.

it's without restrictions. doesn't itjust go because the research institutes want to make sure its funding the right quality of research? that is what the round table today was about, bringing the leading scientific figures together, but doing so in conjunction with the research institutes so that that can be allocated in a way that unlocks the best value. i'm looking forward to hearing about it. the shared mission is how we inject more pace. also on the visit to kings college, former england rugby star phil vickery. he's an ambassador of the doddie weir foundation. we've got the people, we've got the energy, we've got the support. we've got the will. we need the money. we need to get these girls and boys the money so they can fast track and speed up everything which they're doing. i will not stand here having promised doddie that we will bang the drum. he's no longer with us, but his voice will be heard loud and we will fight and keep making noise because we will find a cure for this dreadful disease. kevin sinfield has always said mnd

isn't incurable, it's underfunded. the warning from scientists — if government money isn't allocated quickly and effectively, promising new treatments will be delayed. graham satchell, bbc news. you can watch that documentary — kevin sinfield: going the extra mile — tonight at 7pm on bbc two and on the bbc iplayer. the uk will enter recession this year but it may not be as bad as previously feared, according to the boss of the bank of england. andrew bailey says the economic slump may now only last a year, rather than two. his comments come after yesterday's interest rate rise. ben's at a bakery in greater manchester for us this morning. you do not look like you are helping out much you look like you are in the way. i out much you look like you are in the wa . . , ., out much you look like you are in thewa . . , . the way. i really am in the way, des - ite the way. i really am in the way, despite doing — the way. i really am in the way, despite doing my _ the way. i really am in the way, despite doing my best - the way. i really am in the way, despite doing my best not - the way. i really am in the way,

internal investigation by manchester united is complete. good morning. manchester united have said they will conduct their "own process" before determining the future of their player, mason greenwood. charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour were dropped yesterday — charges which he denied. the 21—year—old had been due to face trial in november this year. greenwood said he was "relieved" and thanked his family and friends for supporting him. the club added that they "will not make any further comment until their own process is complete. " now to the weekend, and it will be fascinating to see what effect sean dyche can have on the team. joint bottom of the premier league — no new signings last month, and facing the very real prospect of relegtion at the end of the season. his firstjob is to get the fans on board. hugh ferris reports.

joint bottom of the table with fewer wins than any other team, everton have been in premier league peril before, but with a fractured relationship between fans and the board the current backdrop, it's time for a roll of the dyche. hello. new kid in town. it's easy to take the wheel of a ship in calm water. it's not so much when it's choppy waters. we want the fans to play their part in that. it is choppy waters. there's no denying it. the club's not where it wants to be, but we want the fans to join in with us, the fans to reconnect with us. and it's easy to say, i've got to earn my spurs. of course, i totally understand that. you know, i'm a marmite manager anyway. not everyone wants you but, at the end of the day, you have to earn your spurs and i'm willing to put the hard yards in to earn that, to earn their respect. dyche has been linked with a job here before when both he and indeed the club were enjoying rather greener pastures. but even though it is those circumstances on and off the field that have eventually brought them together, the manager's determination to succeed appears undimmed. behind the noise, the outside noise is a fantastic football club, you know, a football club that means a lot to its fans.

it means a lot to the people. it means a lot to football. it's been there a long time. the history, the feel of it, possibly if it wasn't in the shape it's in, maybe i wouldn't get the chance. i don't mind that. if they deem my skillset to deliver this, then i'll deliver it. dyche is the seventh manager appointed by owner farhad moshiri, during which time hundreds of millions of pounds have been spent on players, some of which haven't worked out and hundreds of millions more tied to their new stadium. it's part of the reason they ended the transfer window as the only premier league team not to make a signing, which the new boss has insisted he's ok with despite their predicament. he also said something very revealing about the fact of the quality that was available in the january transfer market. and if it wasn't good enough to come in and enhance everton's position, what was the point of bringing anything in? they've made too many of these mistakes in the past. everton's first game of the new era is against premier league leaders arsenal, the only team with a longer, unbroken

spell in england's top flight. and dyche is hoping his club won't be the ones to break their run. hugh ferris, bbc news. now, as wales prepare for their opening six nations game against ireland tomorrow, most of the attention in cardiff has been on the sport's management. it follows allegations of a toxic culture of sexism and misogyny, within welsh rugby union. and during a culture and sport hearing at the senedd, the wru admitted there had been warning signs which were missed. each individual case is an indication that there has been a wider problem but people have notjoined the dots. when you see it presented over a 30—minute programme in the way that it was, unless you're going to bury your head in the sand for another six months or 12 months, you have to take action. and that's the position we're in. finally, from night shifts on motorways, to bingo, and now a dream debut in premier

league darts, for newcastle lad chris dobey. after beating peter wright and nathan aspinall, on his way to the final, he faced world number three michael van gerwen, and the match went down to the wire. dobey winning with this superb 160 finish, and putting himself top of the table after week one. he is living proof of how darts can change your life. many years ago he was at bingo with his mum and his mate said, we are short of a player in a local pub team, can you come and stand in? there it was. he found he was good at it. until you try you do not know, do you? that is a lovely story. the same thing happened to matt. one day there was a gap in the rotor and someone grabbed matt and said, comedy fancy doing this? —— do you fancy doing this? very good morning to you. it

is friday. i thought i would start with a quick taste for the weekend. with the sunnier weather as it develops this weekend it will turn that bit colder, back to where we should be for this stage of the year. a mild run of south—westerly winds at the moment. the payback of this will be a lot more sunshine around. plenty more sunshine. what a mild start! temperatures above when they should be in the afternoon, never mind first thing. lots of cloud in the west with patchy rain and drizzle. a bit of a stamp start —— damp start. after some morning sunshine in east it will turn cloudy in the afternoon. the better chance of cloud breaks in the afternoon. the heaviest rain across orkney. a

wild night across shetland. look at the temperatures! 213, 14. if you get the sunshine it will feel like spring. tonight mcleod will return. there will be breaks in places. —— the cloud will return. temperatures not as mild as last night. it will start on saturday with lots of cloud. some sunshine in eastern scotland. if you brighter breaks in the south and east. western scotland and northern ireland turning letter. rain getting as far south as the borders. temperatures still on the mild side down a little bit compared with today. there will be change saturday night into sunday. not much rain and drizzle as it reaches south. the cool air will be in place on sunday morning. the chance of a bit of frost around stop what a

child! very little cloud in it at all. the cloud in the channel islands will clear. perfect day for a weekend walk with lots of sunshine around. temperatures getting close to where they should be in february. the high pressure holds on into the start of next week and that will give rise to a bit of mist and fog and also the greatest chance of frost in the morning. temperatures will remain on the lower side web are typically in the south. this is where we could see a cool wind develop as we go through the week. the day on sunday to get out and enjoy. —— a good day on sunday. the number of people in the uk diagnosed with cancer will rise by a third over the next two decades. that's according to new figures from cancer research uk.

it found that if current trends continue, cancer cases will rise from the current 384,000 cases per year to 506,000 by 2040. there will be 208,000 overall cancer deaths in the uk each year by 2040 — an increase of almost a quarter. and the charity adds that, along with smoking and obesity, our ageing population is also a key factorfor the rise, with people aged 70 and over set to account for most cancer cases and deaths. joining us now is professor charles swanton, chief clinician for cancer research. thank you very much for your time with us this morning. i suppose it is not surprising in some ways cancer cases will rise. with the amount of research that has been done there was some optimism the rise would not be so significant. that is right. cancer survival rates are improving and have been improving over the last two decades.

a number of factors coalesce resulting in these stark figures produced by kantee uk. as you said at the beginning there are a number of factors like obesity. the number of factors like obesity. the number of people being overweight and obese is set to rise over the next few years. also population growth and the ageing population, which is the most significant factor. it will result in a 30% increase in the number of cancer diagnoses by 2040. that will result in more cancer deaths as well.— that will result in more cancer deaths as well. ~ . , ., , , ., deaths as well. measurable news. now we --reared deaths as well. measurable news. now we prepared to — deaths as well. measurable news. now we prepared to deal _ deaths as well. measurable news. now we prepared to deal with _ deaths as well. measurable news. now we prepared to deal with it _ deaths as well. measurable news. now we prepared to deal with it in - deaths as well. measurable news. now we prepared to deal with it in the - we prepared to deal with it in the uk? , ., , , ., ., ., uk? -- miserable news. to treat a atient uk? -- miserable news. to treat a patient suffering _ uk? -- miserable news. to treat a patient suffering from _ uk? -- miserable news. to treat a patient suffering from cancer - patient suffering from cancer requires an extensive multidisciplinary team of oncologists, surgeons, pathologists and clinical nurse specialists. these take 15 years to train. if there is a 30% increase in the

target, 62 day weighted targets. health care after coronavirus is under tremendous pressure. the government _ under tremendous pressure. the government says it is laser focused on fighting cancer. more patients are being diagnosed with starting treatment earlier. 92 diagnostic centres have been opened delivering tests, scans and checks. it says it is starting treatment earlier, how much earlier does it need to start? if you look at the figures that had been published, the fact is we are not meeting these targets as effectively as we should be. we are building behind the two week wait referral target and the diagnostic targets as well. health care services for cancer are under enormous pressure. there are ways to tackle this crisis over the next 20 years. we need to focus on

prevention, tackling obesity, rising obesity rates. you need to implement the recommendations of the review on smoking cessation. we need to continue to invest in these diagnostic centres, a way of diagnosing cancer earlier. we know patients with earlier cancer diagnoses do better. we had to invest heavily in rapid diagnosis and screening for patients to diagnose cancers early before they become symptomatic, as we know outcomes improve and the cost of care will reduce markedly when we diagnose cancers earlier and patients can obviously live for longer and there is a much higher chance of cure, which is what we want to achieve.— chance of cure, which is what we want to achieve. professor charles swanton, thank _ want to achieve. professor charles swanton, thank you _ want to achieve. professor charles swanton, thank you very _ want to achieve. professor charles swanton, thank you very much - want to achieve. professor charles swanton, thank you very much for| swanton, thank you very much for your time this morning.— swanton, thank you very much for your time this morning. when you think of eurovision, you may well think of bucks fizz, abba — or even sam ryder.

you probably don't think of the sex pistols. this year, john lydon — best known as the frontman of the 19705 british punk band — i5 bidding to become ireland's entry, with an incredibly personal song that celebrates his wife, who's living with alzheimers disease. daniel rosney reports. # god save the queen...# when you listen to this, you probably aren't thinking of this. # snowdrops and daffodils. # butterflies...# john lydon, the most famous man in punk, a5 johnny rotten, could join the likes of dana by representing ireland at eurovision with his band public image ltd. tonight, he'll compete on irish tv with five other acts. after a bit of a press scrum, backstage, he reflected why he flew from los angeles, where his wife nora is staying with family. it's very hard to be away from her. but i have to do this. i have to bring awareness to this problem. i miss her like mad and yet i'm in the middle

of this competition. so it's like win, lo5e are both the same things for me at the same time. the song is personal. it's a love letter to hawaii, a special place for the couple. # falling in our hearts...# one of the joys of doing this programme is i'll be able to show the words on the bottom and she can read them because she's fluent reading — loves to read still. and that will make it all the more poignant for us. she's aware that there's part5 missing in her memory, and i don't make her feel guilty about that. we're talking about how neurologically music can trigger something in the neurons that allows people to remember. and that's what this is all about. it's actually a very beautiful reason that he's here. he loves his wife.

he wants her to be, you know, recognised. he wants her disease to be spoken about and hopefully eventually cured. we have acts representing all classes. it's like a musical selection box. somebody is going to pick the right piece of chocolate. ireland has won eurovision seven times — more than any other country, but it's not won since 1996. in liverpool, though, it's hoping it can bring the luck of the irish. we need to win it. we need to get it this time. we need to. we haven't won in a few years, so we definitely need to get it. | yeah, deffo. i'd got, like, someone like niall horan on. he's a great iri5h singer. i'll have a go myself. ok, here we go. i can reveal the next country is ireland. . whatever happens, the prize forjohn will be flying home to la and showing nora his performance. when i get back, i'll bring the tapes. that's what we do. we'll sit down, have a family day out of it and watch it all together.

she can read the words. yeah. johnny! daniel rosney, bbc news. if you're a fan of eurovision, then a new podcast might be of interest — it's called eurovisioncast and it's available on bbc sounds. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. train services in and around london will be severely disrupted today as rail unions aslef and the rmt stage another strike. it's part of a long— running dispute over pay. there'll be no trains on services including chiltern, gatwick or heathrow express, southeastern, southern and thameslink. london overground is unaffected by the strike and south western railway are intending to run a full service. the number of rough sleepiers in london has increased by 21% in a year according to the latest

figures from city hall. the highest numbers were found in the city of london, westminster and the south bank, with high concentrations also seen in woolwich, stratford and at heathrow. the overwhelming majority were men, who made up about 83% of the total recorded. a campaign group which formed to save liverpool street station from developers in the 19705 has reformed after new plans have been put forward. the liverpool street station campaign is now fighting against what they're labelling as "insensitive and harmful" plans by the developers of the shard to remove the station's roof and original entrance in order to build a ten—storey hotel and office block. network rail say it will provide "long lasting benefits". a man whose lorry was used to dump waste at a business park in dartford has been sent to prison. james atkins, from essex, was given 16 months after being found guilty of owning or having control of a lorry that was used to dump brick rubble, soils and plastic at night at swan business park.

cctv footage showed a tipper truck registered to atkins being driven onto the site at almost midnight when the waste was unloaded. barbecues will be banned in islington parks to protect the environment and reduce air pollution. the council estimates it will save £50,000 a year in security costs at highbury fields alone. last summer's extreme heat wave saw an unprecedented number of grass fires. let's take a look at the tubes now. please, lines of running a good service. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. with high pressure sitting just towards the south of us, and it is set to stay dry as we head through the rest of this week, with mild air hanging on until we get to sunday, when it will turn colder by day with some frosty nights into the start of next week.

are still living. seven days of searching, but still no sign of nicola bulley. the wait for news is as agonising as it is frustrating for her family. people don'tjust vanish into thin air. there has got to be somebody that knows something, and all we are asking, no matter how small or big, is if there is anything that— you can remember that just doesn't seem right, then please reach out to the police, please just get in touch. and get my sister back. 45—year—old nicola dropped her children at school last friday morning, went for a walk with her dog by the river wyre, and hasn't been seen since. her springer spaniel was found wandering on its own near the place where nicola was last seen. her phone was abandoned on a park bench, still connected to a business conference call. the police have been looking for her since she was reported missing last friday. this is a very beautiful, rural area with lots of wooded areas, and a river —

helpful. what they need is for information from anybody who was here in st michael's last friday morning. crucially, in that period between nine, ten past nine, just after ten past nine, which was of course the last sighting of nicola. for herfamily it course the last sighting of nicola. for her family it was eloquently stated by her sister in that clip put up this is a nightmare from which they want to just wake up. they want to know what has happened to nicola, they want people to come forward with any snippet of genuine information they may have, to try and solve this mystery.— information they may have, to try and solve this mystery. thank you, dave guessed- _ the australian tennis player nick kyrgios has pleaded guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend. mr kyrgios will not face conviction, after the charge was dismissed in court. phil mercerjoins us from canberra now. good morning to you, phil. maybe you can explain it for us. on the one hand we have a guilty plea from nick kyrgios, but no conviction. what happened in court? aha,

would be treating. she said that he was very good at hitting a tennis ball. so nick kyrgios, with no criminal record, is free to continue his international playing career. we had a victim impact statement from his former girlfriend ciara pesari who said the incident left her stressed and in pain, so with nick regular is now free to resume his tennis career, and rehabilitate that injured knee, he came hobbling to court on crutches, and he is free to rehabilitate that injury and continue his professional tennis career. passengers have been warned to expect another day of severe disruption on the railways, as more than 20,000 train drivers go on strike — only a third of services are expected to operate. our reporter vincent mcaviney is at euston station in london this morning. a deserted euston station. a site

conditions they were having a change to one not acceptable. there are also strikes today for bus services run by abellio affecting the south and west of london but there is some good news for people wanting to travel on trains. this weekend and the following two weekends look to be clear, because there are no strikes planned, until at least the 19th of february, but, just a warning, tomorrow will likely see a bit of a knock—on effect in the morning, as we have seen our recent post post strike days.— post post strike days. thank you, vincent mcaviney _ post post strike days. thank you, vincent mcaviney at _ post post strike days. thank you, vincent mcaviney at euston. - the long—running inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal of the 19705 and 805 will hear closing statements later today. it's been called the biggest treatment disaster in nhs history, with 30,000 people thought to have been infected with hiv or hepatitis c. our health correspondent, jim reed, has more.

nobody in the threckle household thought that they could be affected by aids. in 1991, the bbc broadcast this landmark documentary about the aids crisis. i had a blood test which the hospital confirmed was hiv. bob threckle was infected after being given contaminated drug for the blood disorder, haemophilia. you see things on television, it is so far removed from everything you know, you don't even consider that you could be part of anything like that, but you can. now a retired teacher, sue has spent decades trying to find out what happened and what was known about the risks. over time, we have battled mp5, various parliamentarians, civil servants, the medical profession, pharmaceutical companies, itjust goes on and on. bob died just months after that programme is filmed. so, in about 87, 88. yeah. about '87.

he was one of thousands infected with hiv or hepatitis after taking drugs imported from abroad, or being given a transfusion. it is just sad, because it is this life that i was living perfectly happily, and then it went. everything went. long—running protests eventually lead to a government apology and the launch of a full public inquiry. i would like to say sorry on behalf of the government for something that should not have happened. i swear by almight god... prime ministers and health secretaries have all been questioned under oath. it became more and more real and more and more scary. and those directly affected, including sue, have been given the chance to have their say. we are fed up with hearing people say how sorry they are. later today the last witness will take the stand with a final report expected in the summer. i would like the truth out there. i would like to know that proper measures were put in place to make sure that this can't happen again.

it was cataclysmic, you know, and itjust ripped families apart, including mine. late last year, the first compensation payments were made to some of those affected. after 40 years, though, many families are still hoping for answers, as this long—running public inquiry draws to a close. jim reed, bbc news. inspectors have raised concerns about a women's prison after reports that inmates — many with mental health problems — were being held in cells they described as "appalling, dilapidated and covered in graffiti". the prison service said some cells at eastwood park, in gloucestershire had already been refurbished — and that it was appointing more staff. inspectors say they were concerned for the welfare of inmates. i remember in one cell, seeing claw marks on the wall, seeing blood on the wall, graffiti everywhere and coming across a woman who was in enormous distress, who needed a great deal of help and support from skilled professionals.

she simply wasn't getting it. the staff there were doing their best but they didn't have the support, they didn't have the skillset to be able to deal with the women in their care. and therefore the standards of neglect and the poor accommodation was really catastrophic. officials are gathering in kyiv for the first eu—ukraine summit since russia invaded almost a year ago. president volodymyr zelensky is hoping to secure further support for his country's efforts to repel russian forces — but officials from multiple countries are warning that ukraine's hopes of a fast track to eu membership are likely to be rebuffed. the us is tracking a suspected chinese surveillance balloon that has been spotted flying over sensitive sites in recent days. the balloon was most recently seen high above the western state of montana, which is home to several nuclear missile sites, and it's also been spotted over alaska and canada. china has not commented

on the claim. it is 14 minutes past seven. we will take you to a beautiful place a little later. it is a neolithic site, it is new henge. it is very grand in scale, 200 metres wide, and i think ourfirst grand in scale, 200 metres wide, and i think our first visit this morning will still be in the dark but we have got a film that will show you the scale of what it looks like. it is being referred to as the stonehenge of the north to give you an idea but we will take you there during the programme. we will take you higher up in the sky now to see if there is any sunshine to be found. thanks, matt, good morning! there are sunshine to be had this morning, cloudy and drizzly for some

but this from our weather watcher on the essex coast earlier. there will be some patchy, light rain and drizzle at times in the west and in the east through this afternoon but what you will notice is for a february morning, it doesn't feel like it. it is very mild out there. temperatures above where we should be on a february afternoon never mind first thing in the morning. the cloud is reasonably well broken in the south. western parts seeing the light rain or drizzle, with thicker cloud pushing its way eastwards. some of you will stay dry all day. brightening up in the west. the heaviest rain across orkney, brighter in shetland, still very windy after quite a wild night but the wind is easing, coming all the way from the mid—atlantic, this is speeding in the mild hourfor this stage in the year. you will get some sunshine, maybe 15 degrees for one or two. this evening and overnight, clear skies to begin within the east

one is that early cloud has departed. then cloud will steadily build again through the night. another mild night. not quite as mild as the nightjust gone, between 5-7 mild as the nightjust gone, between 5—7 celsius, above where we should be for the stage in the year. scotland and northern ireland expecting rain on saturday, gradually pitching in through the day, taking all day to reach the far south—east of scotland but, by sunday, back to where we should be for the stage in the year, but a lot more sunshine to, charlie and naga. the energy regulator ofgem has asked suppliers to pause the forced installation of prepayment meters. it follows revelations that a debt collection company working for british gas broke into the homes of vulnerable people to install the meters. ben king has more. an undercover reporter

from the times newspaper joined a team of debt collectors, entering the home with three young children. they count as vulnerable. but, these workers from arvato, working for british gas, opened the door and installed a prepayment meter anyway. installing prepayment meters by force is legal, but it's meant to be a last resort, and should not be done to vulnerable households. if people cannot afford to top up the meters, they will be left without power. the boss of british gas has apologised, suspended arvato, and paused forced installations. arvato said it respected and adhered to the rules. the energy regulator ofgem has now stepped in. the chief executivejonathan brearley said in a statement...

there are clear rules. they have obviously not been followed, and therefore i need the regulator, i need the companies to do the right thing by people who are in the most difficult of circumstances, and have been treated, on this evidence, appallingly. the energy industry will now have to find a better way to treat vulnerable customers, in this most difficult of winters. ben king, bbc news. adam scorer is from the fuel poverty charity, national energy action. hejoins us from south london. kabak good morning to you, adam. what you make of the ofgem response? british gas have had a temporary ban on the use of forced installations and everybody else has been asked to

pose it, a temporary injunction is right and necessary but not enough. what we need is a proper review of prepayment meters and a fault line across the industry, we need not just to review the practice of forced installations in particular butjust forced installations in particular but just the level of service and support that people on prepayment meters get. it is a lifeline for some people, and it is more of a punishment regime for them at the limit. ~ . ., , punishment regime for them at the limit. ~ .., , ., limit. when it comes to the doorstep. _ limit. when it comes to the doorstep, today, _ limit. when it comes to the doorstep, today, during - limit. when it comes to the | doorstep, today, during the limit. when it comes to the - doorstep, today, during the next 12 hours or so, do you believe that there will be forced installations into vulnerable households are still taking place? t into vulnerable households are still taking place?— into vulnerable households are still takin: lace? .,, ., , taking place? i hope not. the number of applications — taking place? i hope not. the number of applications will _ taking place? i hope not. the number of applications will have _ taking place? i hope not. the number of applications will have gone - of applications will have gone through the magistrates courts, whether properly scrutinised or not, i can't tell you and it will be in the hands of recovery agents, and i'm hoping that they will all be paused, so you would hope that the action of ofgem and reputational damage to suppliers means that there

will be a bit of a chain on those to make sure that there are no actions and if there are any that would be absolutely abominable and i would expect ofgem to come down on that supplier like a tonne of bricks. just because they are commissioned agents, the responsibility to respond to the vulnerability is with the supplier before they make an application to the courts so it is right that suppliers exercise control here.— right that suppliers exercise control here. right that suppliers exercise controlhere. , ,, ., control here. this sounds like a ositive control here. this sounds like a positive step — control here. this sounds like a positive step on _ control here. this sounds like a positive step on the _ control here. this sounds like a positive step on the basis - control here. this sounds like a positive step on the basis of. control here. this sounds like a l positive step on the basis of what you are saying, but you press it out by saying that it is a hope. so, so this is down to today, if you like, the decision makers within those major energy suppliers, to make sure that those third parties are not carrying on with the job as they were previously doing.- carrying on with the job as they were previously doing. those are the rules, the were previously doing. those are the rules. they have _ were previously doing. those are the rules, they have to _ were previously doing. those are the rules, they have to be _ were previously doing. those are the rules, they have to be applying - rules, they have to be applying sufficient controls over their third—party commissioned agents. a temporary injunction is absolutely necessary. it is way from being sufficient. we need to review the

whole system of prepayment meters, are the rules being followed and enforced and are they strong enough, and neither of those are true. we need, if you need a prepayment meter because you cannot afford the energy that you are paying more than i am playing on direct debit, we should not have this victorian ironmongery that forces people to go to shops, it shouldn't be the case, if suppliers cannot tell whether people are self disconnecting because they cannot afford energy. the whole system needs to be rewired so that the regulation of the energy market starts with the principle of the greatest protection in place for the most vulnerable households. we are 1 million miles from that. so it is good to have a temporary injunction on post installation but we need to whole root and branch review of prepayment, how it works for householders, notjust for suppliers householders, not just for suppliers concerned householders, notjust for suppliers concerned about bad debt. abshd householders, not just for suppliers concerned about bad debt.- concerned about bad debt. and the issue highlighted _ concerned about bad debt. and the issue highlighted by _ concerned about bad debt. and the issue highlighted by the _ concerned about bad debt. and the issue highlighted by the report, - concerned about bad debt. and the issue highlighted by the report, of| issue highlighted by the report, of course, in the times newspaper, and

underlying this is the problem is that many households are facing today, and we will face more and april as bills rise further. there is a bigger debate about how well, or not, the energy companies are helping those who are struggling most. ., , , , most. not 'ust the energy companies but most. notjust the energy companies but government. _ most. notjust the energy companies but government, so _ most. notjust the energy companies but government, so the _ most. notjust the energy companies but government, so the prepayment| but government, so the prepayment meter and post installation has always been an issue, but the severity and intensity of the energy price crisis and the amount that households need to find from budgets is what is making this the real issue so suppliers have to play by the rules, the gem has to strengthen the rules, the gem has to strengthen the rules, the gem has to strengthen the rules but we know that prices rise in april, we know that high energy prices will continue to be a real problem going into next winter, and that is when it comes to government to ensure that those households who just simply cannot afford the price of keeping their homes warm, step in and provide proper, targeted support, so that we do not have a public health epidemic of people unable to charge their

metres and therefore suffering physical and ill health and young children getting ill, so it is about affordability and debt primarily, but suppliers should not be making the problem worse by forcing a prepayment meters on people who are just unable to afford the moment. thank you, adam scorer, chief executive of national energy action. experts say it's one of most important ancient sites in britain — and yet it's almost completely unknown to the general public. the thornborough henges in yorkshire — a huge monument described as the stonehenge of the north — will be opened to visitors from today. john maguire reports. never built more than 4500 years ago and in recent times they have been locked away on land owned by a construction firm, back now, the thornborough henges can be visited by the public, from today. they have

been gifted to english heritage. it describes them as the stonehenge of the north, probably the most important prehistoric site between wiltshire and the orkney islands. the three huge mounds are 200 metres across and, in places, up to four metres tall. it is believed they were once topped with gypsum making them almost luminous against the landscape and visible from miles away. one theory is that they are aligned to mirror the constellation of orion with the henges representing the belt in the night sky. like stonehenge they represent a physical link to our neolithic history, one with so many unanswered questions, but one that exemplifies how important this site was that created it, thousands of years ago. john maguire, bbc news, ripon. john

hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. train services in and around london will be severely disrupted today as rail unions aslef and the rmt stage another strike. it's part of a long—running dispute over pay. there'll be no trains on services including chiltern, gatwick or heathrow express, southeastern, southern and thameslink. london overground is unaffected by the strike and south western railway are intending to run a full service limited service. scotland yard is making a fresh appeal for information about the murder of a young woman in an east london park 20 years ago. 27—year—old margaret muller, an artist who'd travelled from america to study at the slade school of art, died after being attacked and stabbed while she was jogging in victoria park on the morning of 3rd february 2003. police believe she could have been the victim of a failed robbery attempt. the number of rough sleepiers in london has increased by 21% in a year according to the latest

figures from city hall. the highest numbers were found in the city of london, westminster and the south bank, with high concentrations also seen in woolwich, stratford and at heathrow. the overwhelming majority were men, who made up about 83% of the total recorded. the number of rough sleepers in london has a campaign group, which formed to save liverpool street station from developers in the 19705 has reformed after new plans have been put forward. the liverpool street station campaign is now fighting against what they're labelling as "insensitive and harmful" plans by the developers of the shard to remove the station's roof and original entrance in order to build a ten—storey hotel and office block. network rail say it will provide "long lasting benefits." barbecues will be banned in islington parks to protect the environment and reduce air pollution. the council estimates it will save £50,000 a year in security costs at highbury fields alone. last summer's extreme heat wave saw an unprecedented

number of grass fires. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. with high pressure sitting just towards the south of us, and it is set to stay dry as we head through the rest of this week, with a mild air hanging on until we get to sunday, when it will turn colder by day with some frosty nights into the start of next week. now, this morning, a very mild, start to the day, temperatures no lower than 6 to 8 degrees celsius. there will be plenty of cloud around at times today, especially through the afternoon towards eastern areas of town in particular, but also some bright and some sunny spells. there's a noticeable westerly wind, but it's not as blustery as it has been in the last couple of days or so. temperatures as high as 13 or 14 degrees celsius. so very mild for this time of year. it stays dry, cloudy and mild overnight tonight.

it's a little cooler and certainly very cloudy tomorrow, on saturday. but by sunday, lots of sparkling winter sunshine and a colder feel to things. a frosty night to follow into monday morning. that is it. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a question. would you know what to do if someone in your home had a cardiac arrest? you would obviously dial 999. how would you care for them physically? if you don't, you're not alone. new research by the british heart foundation suggests that only around half of us know how to perform cpr, or cardio—pulmonary resuscitation. that's particularly worrying because there are more than 30,000 cardiac arrests outside of hospital in the uk each year. the majority of them happen in the home, so there probably won't be

a defibrillator to hand, or a medical professional nearby. and fewer than one in ten people survive these types of cardiac arrests, often because those around them don't have the skills or confidence to perform cpr. we're joined now by someone who did know what to do. stuart wright saved his daughter ivy's life when her heart suddenly stopped beating last march. good morning to both of you. hello, id. she hasjust seen herself on good morning to both of you. hello, id. she has just seen herself on the cameras, so she is transfixed. we're alsojoined by joanna whitmore, who is a senior cardiac nurse at the british heart foundation. good morning. stuart you had an extraordinary thing happened to you. very, very traumatic. everything is good now. this is the good news in the story. to want to take us through what happened? —— do you

our main story. the family of a woman who's gone missing in lancashire has made an emotional plea for people to come forward with information. 45—year—old nicola bulley disappeared a week ago, while walking her dog in st michael's on wyre. we can speak now to our reporter, dave guest, who joins us from that area. it is one week since her disappearance. tell us about the investigation. you disappearance. tell us about the investigation.— disappearance. tell us about the investigation. you are right, dawn has broken _ investigation. you are right, dawn has broken in _ investigation. you are right, dawn has broken in st _ investigation. you are right, dawn has broken in st michael's, - investigation. you are right, dawn has broken in st michael's, the . has broken in st michael's, the search teams are back here shortly as they have been everyday for the past seven days. they have been searching the river, the surrounding areas, so far with no success. just about this time, exactly a week ago it is likely that nicola was chipping up her children to get them to go to school. they thought it was a normal friday morning when it was in fact the start of a nightmare which as yet shows no signs of ending. seven days of searching,

but still no sign of nicola bulley. the wait for news is as agonising as it is frustrating for her family. people don'tjust vanish into thin air. there has got to be somebody that knows something, and all we are asking, no matter how small or big, is if there is anything that you can remember that doesn't seem right, then please reach out to the police, please just get in touch. and get my sister back. 45—year—old nicola dropped her children at school last friday morning, went for a walk with her dog by the river wyre, and hasn't been seen since. her springer spaniel was found wandering on its own near the place where nicola was last seen. her phone was abandoned on a park bench, still connected to a business conference call. the police have been looking for her since she was reported missing last friday. this is a very beautiful, rural area with lots of wooded areas, and a river — a lot of complex terrain to search. back home, nicola's

two little girls and partner paul are left bewildered. paul says they are living in a perpetual hell. friends, neighbours, fire and rescue and mountain rescue teams have joined the police in searching for nicola. nikcy has two children at home, want to know where their mummy is, and we have had so many offers of help and support, which is amazing, and we want to thank you, and i know the family thank you very much. yesterday the police asked for a dog walker dressed in a red coat to come forward as a possible witness. they traced her last evening but, so far, no sign of nicola. detectives say they are keeping an open mind about what has happened to nicola bulley, and, for now, speculation about what might have happened remains just that. yes, so, the police saying that speculation is not helpful. they want fact to try and trace what happened to nicola. as morning is developing, you can see the road

behind me quite busy, lots of people in this area at this time of day as there would be last friday so please want to hear from anyone who was in st michael's in that crucial time between nine o'clock and ten past nine, quarter past nine who might have seen nicola bulley. they say any snippet of information could prove helpful and they are urging people to come forward so that the family's nightmare could at last be ended. the energy regulator ofgem has asked suppliers to pause the forced installation of prepayment meters. it follows revelations in the times newspaper that a debt collection company working for british gas broke into the homes of vulnerable people to install the meters — a practice condemned by campaigners, the prime minister and the boss of british gas. the system needs to be rewired so that regulation of the energy market starts _ that regulation of the energy market starts with— that regulation of the energy market starts with the principle of the greatest — starts with the principle of the greatest protection is place for the most _ greatest protection is place for the most vulnerable households. we are i most vulnerable households. we are 1 million _ most vulnerable households. we are 1 million miles from that so good, the temporary— million miles from that so good, the temporary injunction on forced installation but we need a root and

disruption on the railways, as more than 20,000 train drivers go on strike — only a third of services are expected to operate. our reporter vincent mcaviney is outside euston station in london this morning. vincent — a second round of rail strikes this week. it is deserted there, people are getting used to this?— getting used to this? yes, it is very quite _ getting used to this? yes, it is very quite here _ getting used to this? yes, it is very quite here at _ getting used to this? yes, it is very quite here at euston - getting used to this? yes, it is very quite here at euston this| very quite here at euston this morning and it is a scene that will be replicated across england and in parts of scotland and wales, because train drivers bought 16 operators are on strike for the second time this week in a long—running dispute over pay and conditions. we expect around one third of services to run. that was the situation on wednesday. the advice is, as it has been for many months, if you are going to try to travel, check with the operator before going to the station because it is likely the lines will be pretty quiet today. there is not any

update on the negotiations between the unions and the rail companies. last month they rejected an offer which would have seen then given a 4% which would have seen then given a li% pay rise this year and next, but they said they could not accept the conditions that were attached to that. there will also be some train strikes and bar strikes today in london as well on routes in the south and west of the capital, so more bad news for commuters there, but some good news. there are no train strikes now planned until at least february 19, which means this weekend and the following two weekends, the trains will be running. but on that note, tomorrow morning we might see a little bit of a knock—on effect as we have seen the past train strikes so check with the past train strikes so check with the operator again, but some better news on the days ahead for train travellers. thank you mac thank you very much, vincent, for us at euston station.

the long—running inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal of the 19705 and 80s will hear closing statements later today. it's been called the biggest treatment disaster in nhs history, with 30,000 people thought to have been infected with hiv or hepatitis c. our health correspondent, jim reed, has more. nobody in the threackall household ever dreamt that they could be affected by aids. in 1991, the bbc broadcast this landmark documentary about the aids crisis. i had a blood test which the hospital confirmed was hiv. bob threackall was infected after being given contaminated drugs for the blood disorder, haemophilia. you see things on television, it is so far removed from everything you know, you don't even consider that you could be part of anything like that, but you can. now a retired teacher, sue has spent decades trying to find out what happened and what was known about the risks. over that time, we have battled mps, various parliamentarians, civil servants, the medical profession,

pharmaceutical companies, itjust goes on and on. bob died just months after that programme is filmed. so, in about 87, 88? yeah. about '87. he was one of thousands infected with hiv or hepatitis after taking drugs imported from abroad, or being given a transfusion. it is just sad, isn't it, because it is this life that i was living perfectly happily, and then it went. everything went. long—running protests eventually lead to a government apology and the launch of a full public inquiry. i would like to say sorry on behalf of the government for something that should not have happened. since 2018... i swear by almighty god... ..prime ministers and health secretaries have all been questioned under oath. it became more and more real and more and more scary. and those directly affected, including sue, have been given the chance to have their say. we are fed up with hearing people

say how sorry they are. later today the last witness will take the stand, with a final report expected in the summer. i would like the truth out there. i would like to know that proper measures were put in place to make sure that this can't happen again. it was cataclysmic, you know, and itjust ripped families apart, including mine. late last year, the first compensation payments were made to some of those affected. after a0 years, though, many families are still hoping for answers, as this long—running public inquiry draws to a close. jim reed, bbc news. inspectors have raised concerns about a women's prison after reports that inmates — many with mental health problems — were being held in cells they described as "appalling, dilapidated and covered in graffiti". the prison service said some cells

at eastwood park, in gloucestershire, had already been refurbished — and that it was appointing more staff. inspectors say they were concerned for the welfare of inmates. i remember in one cell, seeing claw marks on the wall, seeing blood on the wall, graffiti everywhere and coming across a woman who was in enormous distress, who needed a great deal of help and support from skilled professionals. she simply wasn't getting it. the staff there were doing their best but they didn't have the support, they didn't have the skillset to be able to deal with the women in their care. and therefore the standards of neglect and the poor accommodation was really catastrophic. officials are gathering in kyiv for the first eu—ukraine summit since russia invaded almost a year ago. president volodymyr zelensky is hoping to secure further support for his country's efforts to repel russian forces — but officials from multiple countries are warning that ukraine's hopes of a fast track to eu membership are likely to be rebuffed.

it is 14 it is iii minutes past eight on friday morning. the weather in a moment, with matt. now we can introduce you to an extraordinary dog. i thought that 17 was an old age for a dog. but bobby is the dog you're going to see now. bobby is 30 years old. he looks good for his age. he is named bobby. he is from portugal. he's just been named by the guinness book of records as the world's oldest dog — at 30 years and 226 days. he beats a record set by bluey, of australia, who died in 1939, aged 29. bobi's in fine fettle for 30. i would have said the oldest dog could live to would be 23, 2a, something like that. 30 years old!

will transfer eastwards, some places will transfer eastwards, some places will stay dry all day long, the heaviest rain likely to be an opening through this afternoon. it has been windy this morning. the winds will ease. they are coming in from the west and south—west and look at those temperatures they are bringing with them. up to iii, maybe bringing with them. up to 1a, maybe 15 a bit of sunshine for some through this afternoon. tonight, the thicker cloud and eastern areas coming through. some breaks in the cloud. overall, fairly cloudy night with temperatures not quite as as last night but still in the mile category at around 5—7 celsius to start your weekend. lots of cloud on saturday, rain pushing into scotland and northern ireland but by sunday, what a difference, plenty of sunshine. temperatures back to where they should be for this stage of february, and the overnight frost will return. back to charlie and naga. motor neurone disease campaigners have met the health secretary steve barclay

and called on him to speed up access to £50 million of funding for research into the condition that was promised more than a year ago. it comes as a new documentary — which will air tonight on bbc two — highlights the efforts of rugby star kevin sinfield to raise the profile of the disease to help find a cure. he's been inspired to take on epic challenges — by his friend and former teammate, rob burrow, who is living with mnd. graham satchell reports. applause tonight's documentary on bbc two tells the inside story of kevin sinfield's epic challenges. it shows the pain he went through to raise money for his friend rob burrow and motor neurone disease. you ok? didn't think you was going to get out of bed for us. i told you to stay in bed. kevin sinfield, rob burrow, doddie weir and others have changed the narrative on mnd. they have galvanised experts, researchers and government. the health secretary steve barclay at king's college london, meeting some of the world's leading researchers.

it's something that's really captured people's imaginations. they've seen the remarkable story, the doddie weir, rob burrows, the campaigning people like kevin sinfield. and there's real urgency now, both within government, within the scientific community and within campaigners to really target getting a cure and to get that collaboration to do so. the brain is hugely complex. there have been promising breakthroughs in recent months. scientists are more confident today than they have been in decades. if you look at hiv, that was initially thought to be completely incurable and it was a terrible condition and everybody died from it. now it's really an inconvenience. you just take a tablet and it's controlled. and i think hopefully with motor neurone disease, we'll have the same kind of approach. we understand much more about motor neurone disease now than ever before. we're at a tipping point. and that's really why we want this government money now. it's why we want this mnd research institute to be something we can all coalesce around. the government has promised £50 million for new research.

30 million has been successfully allocated — much of it to a new national mnd institute. scientists and researchers across the country working together. but there's a row about the rest of the money. it is bringing that collaboration to that shared mission and the fact that it is a uk—wide endeavour. the department of health and steve barclay chairs a roundtable discussion with researchers. the government says the remaining money has to go through a separate, different process — individual bids judged by officials in the department. we've shown we can collaborate and work well together. we would like the 50 million of funding to be directed towards that, rather than bitty, uncoordinated bids to different funding bodies and so on, with different centres leading different bids. you're worried about it? i'm worried that if we don't do it in this coordinated way,

we won't get the step—change potential, which i think the institute will bring if it's properly funded. also at the meeting, david, representing patients with mnd. steve barclay said today one of the kind of disappointing things he said, "i can't override my advisers." "would you expect me to be able to do that?" i'd say yes, please. for me, it harks back to the yes, prime minister, etc. "oh, no, sir, we can't do it that way." so yeah, please let our top neuroscientists get on with it. the health secretary insists he wants the money to be used as effectively as possible. from a ministerial point of view, that money's ready to go. it's without restrictions. doesn't itjust go because the research institutes want to make sure it's funding the right quality of research? that is what the round table today

was about, bringing the leading scientific figures together, but doing so in conjunction with the research institutes so that that can be allocated in a way that unlocks the best value. i'm looking forward to hearing about it. the shared mission is how we inject more pace. also on the visit to king's college, former england rugby star phil vickery. he's an ambassador of the doddie weir foundation. we've got the people, we've got the energy, we've got the support. we've got the will. we need the money. we need to get these girls and boys the money so they can fast—track and speed up everything which they're doing. i will not stand here, having promised doddie that we will bang the drum, he's no longer with us, but his voice will be heard loud and we will fight and keep making noise because we will find a cure for this dreadful disease. kevin sinfield has always said mnd isn't incurable, it's underfunded. the warning from scientists —

if government money isn't allocated quickly and effectively, promising new treatments will be delayed. graham satchell, bbc news. you can watch that documentary — kevin sinfield: going the extra mile' tonight at 7pm on bbc two and on the iplayer. the uk will enter recession this year but it may not be as bad as previously feared, according to the boss of the bank of england. andrew bailey says the economic slump may now only last a year, rather than two — his comments come after yesterday's interest rate rise. ben's at a bakery in greater manchester for us this morning. ben, i must say, i'm seeing the

in and around london are severely disrupted today as rail unions aslef and the rmt stage another strike. it's part of a long—running dispute over pay. there'll be no trains on services including chiltern, gatwick or heathrow express, southeastern, southern and thameslink. london overground is unaffected by the strike and south western railway are hoping to run a full service limited service. an extremely limited —— scotland yard is making a fresh appeal for information about the murder of a young woman in an east london park 20 years ago. 27—year—old margaret muller, an artist who'd travelled from america to study at the slade school of art, died after being attacked and stabbed while she was jogging in victoria park on the morning of 3 february 2003. police believe she could have been the victim of a failed robbery attempt. the number of rough sleepers in london has increased by 21% in a year, according to the latest figures from city hall. the highest numbers were found in the city of london, westminster and the south bank,

with high concentrations also seen in woolwich, stratford and at heathrow. the overwhelming majority were men, who made up about 83% of the total recorded. a campaign group, which formed to save liverpool street station from developers in the 19705, has reformed after new plans have been put forward. the liverpool street station campaign is now fighting against what they're labelling as "insensitive and harmful" plans by the developers of the shard to remove the station's roof and original entrance in order to build a ten—storey hotel and office block. network rail say it will provide "long lasting benefits." barbecues will be banned in islington parks to protect the environment and reduce air pollution. the council estimates it will save £50,000 a year in security costs at highbury fields alone. last summer's extreme heat wave saw an unprecedented number of grass fires. let's take a look at the tubes now.

now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. with high pressure sitting just towards the south of us, and it is set to stay dry as we head through the rest of this week, with a mild air hanging on until we get to sunday, when it will turn colder by day with some frosty nights into the start of next week. now, this morning, a very mild, start to the day, temperatures no lower than 6 to 8 degrees celsius. there will be plenty of cloud around at times today, especially through the afternoon towards eastern areas of town in particular, but also some bright and some sunny spells. there's a noticeable westerly wind, but it's not as blustery as it has been in the last couple of days or so. temperatures as high as 13 or 14 degrees celsius. so very mild for this time of year. it stays dry, cloudy and mild overnight tonight. it's a little cooler and certainly very cloudy tomorrow, on saturday. but by sunday, lots of sparkling winter sunshine and a colder feel to things. a frosty night to follow into monday morning.

they will conduct their "own process" before determining the future of their player mason greenwood. charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour were dropped yesterday — charges which he denied. the 21—year—old had been due to face trial in november this year. greenwood and said he was "relieved," and thanked his family and friends for supporting him. the club added that they "will not make any further comment until their own process is complete. " now last week we heard about welsh football legend gareth bale, impressing the professional golfers likejohn rahm, ahead of the pro—am event in the usa, so they had been warned. and now he's handling the pressure of the actual tournament in the same manner. showing the kind of precision that made him so good at free kicks, when digging himself out of trouble at spyglass hill. what a recovery! partnering joseph bartlett, he shot 7 under par 65. joint 18th on the amateur leaderboard ahead of former american politician condoleeza rice, and actor bill murray. every amateur will tell you chuka

will be a lot of dry weather with partly clear skies. temperature is not as high as last night but still mild. their weekend, not as high as last night but still mild. theirweekend, rather not as high as last night but still mild. their weekend, rather cloudy to begin with. there will be brighter breaks. you can see scotland and northern ireland turning wetter and more breezy through the day. much of england and wales will be dry. mild again, not as mild as today. by sunday, look at the difference. a chilly start in aviemore. mager, charlie, perfect weekend in a perfect end to the weekend. —— naga, charlie. we are at the time of year when we are almost desperate for something so that is great. you feel a bit of warmth of the sun. �* , .,

backstage, he reflected why he flew from los angeles, where his wife nora is staying with family. it's very hard to be away from her. but i have to do this. i have to bring awareness to this problem. i miss her like mad and yet i'm in the middle of this competition. so it's like win, lose are both the same things for me at the same time. the song is personal. it's a love letter to hawaii, a special place for the couple. # falling in our hearts...# one of the joys of doing this programme is i'll be able to show the words on the bottom and she can read them because she's fluent reading — loves to read still. and that will make it all the more poignant for us. she's aware that there's parts missing in her memory,

and i don't make her feel guilty about that. we're talking about how neurologically music can trigger something in the neurons that allows people to remember. and that's what this is all about. it's actually a very beautiful reason that he's here. he loves his wife. he wants her to be, you know, recognised. he wants her disease to be spoken about and hopefully eventually cured. we have acts representing all classes. it's like a musical selection box. somebody is going to pick the right piece of chocolate. ireland has won eurovision seven times — more than any other country, but it's not won since 1996. in liverpool, though, it's hoping it can bring the luck of the irish. we need to win it. we need to get it this time. we need to. we haven't won in a few years, so we definitely need to get it. | yeah, deffo. i'd get, like, someone like niall horan on. he's a great irish singer. i'll have a go myself. ok, here we go.

i can reveal the next country is ireland. i whatever happens, the prize forjohn will be flying home to la and showing nora his performance. when i get back, i'll bring the tapes. that's what we do. we'll sit down, have a family day out of it and watch it all together. she can read the words. yeah. johnny! daniel rosney, bbc news. good luck to him, of course. you start getting into conversations about what you were in the era. good morning to matt goss. did you go punk? i morning to matt goss. did you go unk? ., , morning to matt goss. did you go punk? ., c.,y morning to matt goss. did you go punk? .,, ., ., , ., morning to matt goss. did you go unk? ., ., , ., punk? i was totally into ska, the secials. punk? i was totally into ska, the specials- they — punk? i was totally into ska, the specials. they got _ punk? i was totally into ska, the specials. they got you _ punk? i was totally into ska, the specials. they got you out i
