good morning to you. yesterday was a really cloudy one right across the board. today we've got a lot more sunshine around, but it is feeling on the cool side. high—pressure sticks with us into much of this upcoming week, so it looks like it is going to stay largely dry and settled, but i will have all the details on that very shortly. it's sunday, the 5th february. our main story: the business secretary, grant shapps, has given energy firms a deadline of tuesday to say what action they will take for vulnerable customers who may have had pre—payment meters wrongfully installed. it comes after an investigation by the times newspaper revealed that some debt agents working for british gas had broken into the homes of people struggling to pay their bills, in order to install the equipment. simonjones has this report. debt collectors working for british

gas secretly filmed about to break into the home of a single father with young children to fit a prepayment meter. it is not an isolated case and has prompted the industry regulator,, to our school companies to suspend the practice. —— regulator ofgem. grant shapps said: grant shapps is demanding to know by tuesday what action firms are going to take to compensate customers affected, and he wants a new customer hotline set up to allow households to tell their own stories to the regulator. one fuel quality regulator says changes needed. the? regulator says changes needed. they have not been _ regulator says changes needed. tie: have not been following the regulator says changes needed. tie1: have not been following the rules, the regulator has not been enforcing them hard enough. lots of households have been put in terrible situations and are losing out. it is absolutely

from that area. phil, what's the latest from police? good morning. well, it wasjust yesterday afternoon when lancashire police publicised this search for this woman who they thought would be a key witness, a woman in a yellow coat seen pushing a pram along this road, one of the main roads through this picturesque village in the local lancashire countryside. when she was pictured in the minutes leading up to about half—an—hour before nicola was last seen on a riverside path which is a short walk from this road. lancashire police thought the woman they were sinking, pushing the pram in the yellow coat, may have gone to walk along that riverside path. so they were concerned, they were hopeful that she might have some key information for them. well, late last night lancashire police said the woman they were seeking, that potential witness, came forward very quickly. they have also added, though, but the woman they were seeking was very much being treated as a witness and

was one of the many people in this village at the time that they were looking for. they have also added that the speculation and abuse on social media, and that some people who they say are merely assisting enquiries, is totally unacceptable. 0f enquiries, is totally unacceptable. of course, lecture police still want people to come forward with —— cam footage, cctv, orjustany people to come forward with —— cam footage, cctv, orjust any memories they might have from being here in they might have from being here in the village on the day that nicola disappeared. —— dashcam footage. but they are very concerned about some of the abuse they say is right on social media. out the moment, our priority is nicola and herfamily. thank you for that update, from phil mccann in saint michaels on wyre. nursing leaders have made a direct appeal to the prime minister, saying an improved pay offer could be enough to suspend further strikes, scheduled in england for tomorrow and tuesday. it comes after the health secretary, steve barclay, urged unions to call off the planned industrial action. our correspondent vinny mcaviney reports.

escalating strike action across the nhs in england stop next week, nurses, paramedics, midwives and physiotherapists are due to hold what unions say is the biggest period of industrial action in the history of the health service. last night, the head of the royal college of nursing union wrote to the prime minister urging him to take action to avoid further strikes. pat: told rishi sunak: —— pat cullen told rishi sunak: .heis . he is punishing nurses in england b not . he is punishing nurses in england by not coming _ . he is punishing nurses in england by not coming to — . he is punishing nurses in england by not coming to the _ . he is punishing nurses in england by not coming to the table - . he is punishing nurses in england by not coming to the table and - by not coming to the table and talking about them, they are left behind, and if he really wants to stop nurses having to leave england now, to move to other parts of the uk, to earn a decent wage, then he needs to seriously come to the table and start to address the issues for them. ., , and start to address the issues for them. ., ._ , .,, them. the government says it has

jonathan blake reports. since leaving office 100 days ago, liz truss says she has been reflecting on her brief premiership, soul—searching, which she claims has not been easy. at length, now, she has given her version of events of her time in office, the shortest of any prime minister. i am not claiming to be blameless, she writes, but fundamentally i was not given a realistic chance to enact my policies. by a very powerful economic establishment, coupled with a lack of political support. she had assumed her mandate would be respected and accepted, adding, how wrong i was. unfunded tax cuts announced by liz truss and her chancellor, quasi— cutting, prompted economic turmoil, and tory mps turned against her. some say it is too soon for the former prime minister to try to answer for her

the giant chinese balloon that had been floating over the united states has been shot down by an american fighterjet, off the coast of south carolina. the balloon, which the us says was being used to spy on military sites, appeared to plummet straight into the sea. china says it was a weather observation device which strayed off course. tim allman reports. for days now, all eyes have been on the solitary object floating serenely through us airspace. was it a harmless weather balloon, or a spy in the sky sent by the chinese? whatever it was, the american government had decided enough was enough. look at that trail of light vapour on the left of your screen. that is a us f—22 fighterjet, streaking towards the balloon. then, a second trail. this time from sidewinder missile, about to bring itsjourney to an sidewinder missile, about to bring its journey to an abrupt end. suddenly we saw something take off from thejet, we knew suddenly we saw something take off from the jet, we knew it was a missile, and you could see the

towards the east overnight centred towards the east overnight centred towards eastern england and here we will see cold, frost across the south—east worse further mouth and west it will not be quite as cold. on monday it means we have more cloud for scotland and northern ireland. more of a breeze as well particularly for the northern western isles. large parts have a cold frosty start and once the mist and cold clears we will have another fine day. hazy on the north and north—west are closer to where we should be for this time in february. a bit more cloud on tuesday across the board but there will be sunny spells in between when we have clear skies to start it will be a chilly morning as well. into the afternoon we are looking at values single figures for most, 10 degrees in scotland and northern ireland with more of that artic influence. you can see as we push towards the middle part of the week and beyond high—pressure sitting under the near

continent, an area of low pressure with strong wind around, trying to encroach into the north—west of scotland at times so the wind will pick up here through the day. a breezy day for northern ireland, verily blustery around the irish sea coast but the further east you are it should stay dry. temperatures 5-8 it should stay dry. temperatures 5—8 and could be quite low whether mist and fog holds in the far south—east otherwise a little less cold towards the north—west. as we end the week a lot of fine dry weather continues as high—pressure dominates. they can try to keep the weather fronts at bay but there will be rain at times across northern and western parts of scotland so stay tuned to the forecast. i will see you later. last week, heavy rainfall brought havoc to the city of auckland in new zealand, downing trees, flooding homes and closing major roads.

one rnli lifeguard — who travelled to work in new zealand during cornwall�*s off—season — was part of a team who saved 69 people from the floodwaters with the help of their surf rescue boats. we can speak to harry barea now from new zealand. we were going to speak to him, it is a fascinating story because he spends most of his time in cornwall but goes to auckland and found himself in the middle of all of this. we hope to speak him that make to him later in the programme. that was the damage _ to him later in the programme. that was the damage done in auckland last week. but let's have a look at the papers and see what is making headlines. the sunday telegraph, we already mentioned this, about the 4000 word essay by the former prime minister liz trust.

truss. ms truss wrote that she wasn't "blameless" for the unravelling of the mini—budget — but she was never given "a realistic chance" to enact her policies. the sunday times leads on the current prime minister's reported plans to install laws to limit the number of migrants looking for safety on uk shores. the newspaper describes rishi sunak�*s plans as "the most draconian immigration legislation seen in this country". the observer reports that there is "zero chance" that the tories will meet boris johnson's pledge to build 40 new hospitals. the paper says only a quarter of those will be built, in contrast to the promise made in his 2019 election manifesto. and if you go to the bbc website this morning, you can read all about the brighton firm called lord of the bins — they say they've been ordered to change their name, by lawyers of the lord of the rings franchise. middle earth enterprises

and we head to south america and what's officially the most electrifying place on earth. hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from the historic university city of cambridge in the uk. now, it's the beginning of term and students are coming back, and like many generations before them, they'll be benefiting

from some of the best educational resources in the world. and that includes valuable treasures looted from afar on colonial expeditions. but we're here because the university has recently announced its actually returning some of those, specifically benin bronzes, to nigeria. and it's there, in what was once known as the kingdom of benin, that i want to start this story. for centuries, this street, igun eronmwon, has been famous for one particular craft — bronze casting. its name literally translates to "the place where bronze works are made". just five minutes from the palace, traditionally, it was the royal family and dignitaries who'd commission pieces to mark historical events. aigbe anthony spent 15 years mastering his craft.

i've been into bronze—casting from childhood. i was taught by my father, which my father was taught by the forefathers, and it has been a family business, family work. so we've grown into it as a living. he's part of an exclusive guild of bronze casters, which has 120 members that mostly work on this street, all practising a centuries—old technique where wax models are used to create a detailed mould for the bronze to be cast in. it will take up to two weeks to make a piece, and it'll take up to a month, depends on the size of the job, for the artwork. whenever a tourist comes to nigeria, they want to visit this place, so they buy and they commission works.

whilst the technique has remained the same, most are working off printed images, with little access to their ancestors' original works. we have few ones that is still left, which is in family houses here, and we still have them in catalogues. yes, there are a few, not much. we don't have much access to it because much of them is stolen. ifeel bad, and i'm not too happy because this is our treasure. it's what our forefathers laboured to do. it's reckoned around 10,000 pieces were looted by the british when they sacked benin in 1897, burning down the city's palace in the process.

the bronzes were then sold to institutions around the world. now, there's no law in the uk which forces museums or other places to return stolen artefacts, but some institutions are doing it independently, likejesus college, cambridge. they were the first institution in the world to return a benin bronze, in 2021. more recently, germany handed back 22 bronzes and agreed to release over 1,000 items from their collections. the horniman in london has also sent pieces back to nigeria, and soon cambridge university's museum of archaeology and anthropology will follow suit. we've identified 116 objects that were taken

during the punitive expedition of 1897, and those are the objects that we will be transferring ownership of. i think it's impossible to overstate just how severe an act of vandalism and cultural violence this was. the heads that we see before us here were several of the objects that graced ancestral altars throughout the palace, and the purpose of those altars was very much to maintain the lineage, to maintain the kingdom. the plaques that had been removed from the walls throughout the city were visualisations of the benin kingdom's history and heritage, and those were all taken away in a wholesale export of this material, leaving very, very little behind. tell me, why are you now and only now returning some of the pieces? i think it's the right time for these collections to go back. one might say it's long overdue. i think the main reason, the most recent reason,

is that there has been a request from the nigerian government, and i think fundamentally for us it's the right thing to do. these were stolen, these were looted. there are many, many different ways in which objects came to museums like this. there's such an awareness both within the uk and internationally of museums, colonial legacies, but also of the cultural heritage that is represented in museum collections. and we want the future retelling and care of these collections to be something that's really, really collaborative. now, this is not a sentiment shared by all. currently, the british museum in london has more than 900 items from the historic kingdom of benin, the largest collection of bronzes in the world, with no current plans to return any. the british museum sent the travel show a statement, where they say that the collections offer an important opportunity for audiences to understand the history of the british conquest of benin city, and to reflect

on the impact of that period of colonialism. they're in dialogue with the nigerian government about this, but also cite the british museum act of 1963, that it's their founding responsibility to care for the collection on behalf of the world — notjust the bronzes, but all the objects kept here. now, undoubtedly, that's not something that sits too well back in nigeria. the national museum in benin has the most accessible collection of bronzes for tourists to see, though a fraction of what it perhaps should be. the time is coming for the british, for london in particular, when they see neighbouring countries around them bringing the objects, they will not have any other choice than to release what belongs to us,

because the whole world knows they are stolen properties. there is no place like home. by the time this object comes home, it is going to do a lot of things. it will heal the wounds, it will create more jobs for our people. it will create more tourists to visit our museums. and on that note, plans are under way to build a brand—new museum to house their returning heritage. the edo museum of west african art is scheduled to open in 2026, and they're optimistic it will be filled with their missing bronzes. fingers crossed the museum project goes smoothly. but if you can't wait that long, here are some alternatives from around the world that you could consider. starting in asia, the national museum of cambodia

in phnom penh is filled with reclaimed stolen statues. a lot of the items here were looted from temples across the country, including from the famous angkor wat. a team is constantly working on tracing and bringing back their antiquities from museums and private collectors around the world. over in canada, the winnipeg art gallery has recently opened a centre showcasing the world's largest collection of inuit art. it's called qaumajuq, which means, "it's bright, it is lit," with a building very much inspired by being in the arctic landscape. more than 27,000 artworks are on display, including a large portion which is on loan from the northern communities. travelling south into the us, why not check out the first american national museum designed and run by indigenous peoples? it's part of the smithsonian institution group, this one based in washington.

the building is made out of materials closely connected to the native communities across the continent. inside, you'll find more than 800,000 objects, along with regular workshops and talks. over to morocco next, where you may remember we sent ade to the newly opened modern african art museum in marra kech. there you'll find lots of artworks from around the country. its whole thing is about making art accessible, and the first sunday of every month, you pay whatever you want, or can afford, to enter. finally to papua new guinea, where its national museum in port moresby has the task of protecting and preserving the country's cultural, military and natural heritage. some locals see it as a spiritual home, due to its heritage inside. alongside its archaeological objects, it also has natural history specimens and contemporary local artworks. ok, so stick around,

because there is loads more still to come in the programme. simon's got his top tips for booking onto europe's sleeper trains, and the place where lightning almost certainly strikes twice. so, see you after the break. hello and welcome to london st pancras international, britain's european train terminal and one of the most beautiful rail stations in the world. in east asia, covid travel restrictions are finally unwinding in 2023.

while mainland china is still closed to tourists, hong kong has lifted almost all its pandemic—related rules. overseas arrivals must simply take a lateral flow test within 24 hours of their flight departing to hong kong. back here in europe, ferry links are being restored after the peak of the pandemic. the fascinating french port of le havre, a unesco world heritage site and gateway to the seine—maritime region, gets reconnected with portsmouth in southern england from march. also restored, international rail services from renfe, the main spanish train operator, from barcelona to lyon in southern france. which brings us on to my tip of the month. improvements in european rail services have made a cross—continentaljourney an increasingly cheap and appetising prospect this year.

for example, on the main high—speed link in spain between the two biggest cities, madrid and barcelona, travellers can now choose from four competing operators. plenty of nine—euro one—way tickets are available, booking several months ahead, and even at short notice, you can typically payjust 35 euros. great news, too, for those of us who believe that the most civilised way to travel across europe is by sleeper train. a new dutch enterprise, european sleeper, is starting an overnight service from brussels, antwerp, rotterdam and amsterdam to berlin. travel writer monisha rajesh, who's about to head off on a trip to istanbul on three separate sleeper services. it can be expensive, but there are plenty of options, depending on your budget and what kind ofjourney you're looking for.

tickets start at the very lower end, where you can travel in an upright seat overnight, but you can get seats for starting at around 45 euros, going up to around 270, if you want to be in a private compartment with a lovely big bed and an en—suite bathroom. tell me more about the new brussels to berlin sleeper. is it really significant? i think it is, because i think the private companies that are now embracing this new passion for sleeper travel are getting people back onto trains and away from short—haul budget flights, which is what i think all of us want to see because of climate change. can an overnight train really compete with fast and frequent and generally low—cost flight? i think it's quite hard to get people to come onto a train for 16 hours at a cost which might be double what you would spend on a flight. but i think you will find people at least looking into it more, considering train travel. and if they don't have to be somewhere very fast, i think it's something that people

will definitely embrace. lots of viewers are asking why long—haul airfares, particularly on routes from europe to asia and australia, have increased so much. well, partly the russian invasion of ukraine is to blame. it's greatly increased fuel costs, which are all the more significant on very long flights. also, the closure of russian and ukrainian airspace means that many routes have to travel much further. staying with air travel, what's happening with airport security checks here in the uk? well, byjune next year, the current limits on liquids, aerosols and gels should be lifted, making the security checks much faster and less stressful. that's all for now from here at london st pancras international. wherever your next rail journey takes you, i hope it's a great success. and do keep sending

in your travel questions. for now, from me, goodbye. i'll see you next time. now, here in the uk, we are slightly obsessed with the weather, but maybe not quite as much as in the lightning capital of the world. ok, that's not its real title. but in the remote parts of venezuela where the catatumbo river meets lake maracaibo, lightning strikes 140 to 160 nights a yearfor hours on end. cat moh has been finding out more. this is what the earth's capital of lightning looks like.

this is relampago del catatumbo, or catatumbo lightning. it's only found in one remote part of venezuela and only accessible by boat along a route largely populated by wildlife. a three—hour journey from puerto concha, the lightning occurs above an area where the catatumbo river meets lake maracaibo. average temperatures here can hit above 32 degrees celsius all year round. some of the nearest human neighbours to this amazing display are in a village built on stilts, called an ologa.

locals say catatumbo lightning is a symbol, a symbol of respect from nature. here, they call it ploy, which in english means curiosity.

nasa has since declared it earth's lightning capital. catatumbo's 250 lightning flashes per square kilometre every year equates to a staggering total of 1.6 million bolts of lightning annually. the strikes are often visible for seven to ten hours per night. if the elements could write poetry across the sky, it would surely look like this. well, that's it for this time, butjoin us next week if you can, when...

says change is needed. they have not been following the rules, the energy regulator has not been enforcing them hard enough. lots of households have been put in terrible situations and are losing out. it's absolutely right that the industry should be under pressure to find a compensatory package for those affected. i would like it to be imposed by government regulators rather than the suppliers to offer it themselves. energy suppliers can force—fit prepayment meters with a warrant. it should be a last resort if people are in arrears, and vulnerable customers should not be switched. more than 1,000 warrants per day were approved by magistrates last year, mainly to do this. the bbc has learned courts were given advice suggesting those warrants could be waved through, which has led to concern from some legal experts. i don't think this is what the public would reasonably expect from a process which empowers a private company to come and break yourfront door down. this has turned the process into a rubber stamp, when it should be a safeguard. british gas has now suspended all forced installations,

and in a statement, ofgem said: energy uk, which represents the industry, says suppliers are now looking to fix any issues as quickly as possible. simon jones, bbc news. police searching for missing mother nicola bulley say a woman described as a key witness has been found. officers in lancashire appealed to find a person seen pushing a pram near where the 45—year—old disappeared, and last night added that a woman had come forward very quickly. nicola was seen with her spaniel by a fellow dog walker, shortly before 9:00 last friday morning. 20 minutes later she was last spotted in a field further along the riverbank. police have now established that her phone became stationary at a riverside bench at 9:20. 13 minutes later, her phone was found, along with her dogs harness. we can speak now to our reporter,

alongside the river wyre. police believe this woman may have gone down to walk along this path at the same time that nicola was there, which is why they were so keen to speak to her. they stressed she came forward very quickly. they also, lancashire police, said they wanted to stress she was very much being treated as a witness. one of many people he was around the area at the time that they are looking out. you don't have to search very far on social media to find all sorts of speculation from people, all across the country, people theorising as to what might have happened here and what might have happened here and what certain other people may have been involved, and police have addressed that as well. they say the speculation and abuse on social media aimed at some people who they say are "merely assisting our enquiries" is totally unacceptable. they want people to remember that they are investigating the disappearance of nicola. they say that their priority is nicola and herfamily. that their priority is nicola and her family-— that their priority is nicola and her family. phil mccann, live in lancashire. _ her family. phil mccann, live in lancashire, thank _ her family. phil mccann, live in lancashire, thank you. - the former prime minister, liz truss, has blamed what she's called a "powerful economic establishment" and a lack of support

from the conservative party for her downfall in number ten. in a 4,000—word article published in the sunday telegraph ms truss admitted she's not blameless, but doesn't think her tax policies were given a "realistic chance." our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. since leaving office 100 days ago, liz truss says she has been reflecting on her brief premiership, soul searching, which she claims has not been easy. at length, now, she has given her version of events of her time in office, the shortest of any prime minister. "i am not claiming to be blameless," she writes, "but fundamentally i was not given a realistic chance to enact my policies, by a very powerful economic establishment, coupled with a lack of political support." she had assumed that her mandate would be respected and accepted, adding, "how wrong i was." unfunded tax cuts announced by liz truss and her chancellor, kwasi karteng, prompted economic turmoil, and tory mp5 turned against her.

some say it's too soon for the former prime minister to try to answer for her actions. four months to go, she nearly crashed the british economy and had to leave downing street afterjust 44 days, becoming the shortest—serving prime minister. and i think when you have done something as spectacular as that, you need to build up the permission to be heard. you need to have people have a bit of time to look at you and think, ok, we're willing to listen to you again. i don't think nearly enough time has passed for liz truss to be heard again by the british public. liz truss says that she underestimated the resistance she would face from whitehall and from her own mp5. labour claim the public are still paying the price, and what's needed is an apology. liz truss argues there is still support for what she tried to achieve, and her intervention comes as some conservatives argue for tax cuts to come more quickly. a disaster in office, liz truss clearly still hopes she can make a case for what might have been.

financial markets, the electorate, and your own mp5". i think what is interesting is that she does not specifically criticise rishi sunak in her article, but by implication, she suggests his approach to the economy is wrong, it is enabled —— it is an unhelpful reminder for him but there are some of the party who certainly agree with her. —— that there are some. nursing leaders have made a direct appeal to the prime minister, saying an improved pay offer could be enough to suspend further strikes, scheduled in england for tomorrow and tuesday. it comes after the health secretary, steve barclay, urged unions to call off the planned industrial action. our correspondent vincent mcaviney reports. escalating strike action across the nhs in england. next week, nurses, paramedics, midwives and physiotherapists are due to hold what unions say is the biggest period of industrial action in the history of the health service. last night, the head of the royal college of nursing union wrote to the prime minister urging him to take action to avoid further strikes. pat cullen told rishi sunak:

he's punishing nurses in england by not coming to the table and talking about them, they are left behind, and if he really wants to stop nurses having to leave england now, to move to other parts of the uk, to earn a decent wage, then he needs to seriously come to the table and start to address the issues for them. the government says it has offered nurses and other nhs workers a pay rise of at least £1400, and urged unions to call off the planned strikes before getting back round the table. as the impasse over pay continues, health leaders warn it's getting for hospitals and other health services to cope. it's absolutely vital, in the interests of patients, in terms of those

waiting for operations, those coming in as urgent cases, that we see a resolution to the industrial action. chanting: what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! _ unions hope the new payoff in wales this week will put pressure on the government in england to give ground, but for now, that's looking unlikely. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. the giant chinese balloon that had been floating over the united states has been shot down by an american fighterjet off the coast of south carolina. the balloon, which the us says was being used to spy on military sites appeared to plummet straight into the sea. china continues to insist it was a stray civilian weather observation airship. here's stav with a look at the weather. good morning. was that somebody a bright and early getting the sunrise for that picture? this bright and early getting the sunrise for that picture?— for that picture? this is actually a likely picture. _ for that picture? this is actually a likely picture, they _ for that picture? this is actually a likely picture, they were - for that picture? this is actually a likely picture, they were not - for that picture? this is actually a likely picture, they were not that | likely picture, they were not that many photographs from the weather

northern ireland. not as chilly. monday, more on the way of cloud across scotland and northern ireland, a warmer breeze, especially in the northern western isles. some frost and fog around, then again, another try and fine day with plenty of sunshine. single figures for england and wales, 10 degrees further north and west because we had the atlantic air and those stronger winds. this big area of high pressure on the near continent doesn't want to let go, bringing fine and unsettled weather as we move through the rest of the week. —— settled. cloudy and windy conditions at times across scotland and northern ireland. see you later. thank you. the government's £1 billion nhs recovery plan — which is designed to ease pressures on a&e departments — has promised 5,000 extra hospital beds and 800 new ambulances in england. but questions have been raised over how the extra resources will be staffed. our correspondent michele paduano has been finding out the reaction to the plan at one hospital in birmingham. this morning was lucky forjake. the

hospital. the virtual wards this winter only run at 40%. for the recovery plan to work, all the elements have to come together, and there are concerns that with no extra money, this is coming out of existing budgets. but the real elephant in the room as the workforce, and how you manage a staffing crisis. this emergency department alone needs 140 more staff. ~ . .,~ , department alone needs 140 more staff. . .,~ department alone needs 140 more staff. . .«r .y staff. what makes an emergency department _ staff. what makes an emergency department tick? _ staff. what makes an emergency department tick? people, - staff. what makes an emergency department tick? people, our i staff. what makes an emergency i department tick? people, our people. they have taken to social media to recruit. ,, . ., ., recruit. quite lucky that on average. — recruit. quite lucky that on average, about _ recruit. quite lucky that on average, about 6096 i recruit. quite lucky that on average, about 6096 of i recruit. quite lucky that on average, about 6096 of my| recruit. quite lucky that on i average, about 6096 of my staff recruit. quite lucky that on - average, about 6096 of my staff on average, about 60% of my staff on shift our my own substantive stuff. about 40% up from an agency. i know trusts locally where it is 10% substantive staff and 90% agency. here, they know the problems will not be solved overnight. brute here, they know the problems will not be solved overnight.— not be solved overnight. we know that they will _ not be solved overnight. we know that they will be _ not be solved overnight. we know that they will be incremental i that they will be incremental improvements that we have got to get on with. _ improvements that we have got to get on with. the _ improvements that we have got to get on with, the spring into the summer. so that— on with, the spring into the summer. so that next— on with, the spring into the summer. so that next winter, it provides a better— so that next winter, it provides a better experience for our patients and our— better experience for our patients and our staff stop they hope that when _ and our staff stop they hope that when they moved to midland

metropolitan hospital next year there _ metropolitan hospital next year there will be enough beds available. the president of the royal college of emergency medicine, dr adrian boyle, joins us now. good morning and thank you for talking to us this morning. it is all about people, as we heard in that report. is it realistic to be able to get a quick fix by recruiting new people in a highly skilled job? recruiting new people in a highly skilledjob? it recruiting new people in a highly skilled job? it is not. there is nothing wrong with the skilled job? it is not. there is nothing wrong with the principles of the recovery — nothing wrong with the principles of the recovery plan. _ nothing wrong with the principles of the recovery plan, it _ nothing wrong with the principles of the recovery plan, it is _ nothing wrong with the principles of the recovery plan, it is quite - the recovery plan, it is quite sensible and talks about increasing clinical input and the ambulance service and making sure we have enough capacity and recognising that we need to increase the number of beds in a hospital. but you are right to identify the single biggest problem with this is getting workforce. there are bits which are quicker to do which need to happen and that is about training up social care workforce so that we can get people out of hospital once they

stays complete and they are better because far too many people are being kept in hospital because there are no social compare —— social care capacity and it is quicker to train a carer than it is a doctor or a nurse. �* . , a carer than it is a doctor or a nurse. ~ . , ., , , �* nurse. and that is the output, isn't it at the end _ nurse. and that is the output, isn't it at the end of _ nurse. and that is the output, isn't it at the end of someone _ nurse. and that is the output, isn't it at the end of someone stay i nurse. and that is the output, isn't it at the end of someone stay in i it at the end of someone stay in hospital, they come out into social care. you are the front door, effectively, in yourjob in a&e. what is this situation in your experience at the moment, in your department with people being able to get in through the doors and out of an ambulance. is it still as bad as it was a few weeks ago?- an ambulance. is it still as bad as it was a few weeks ago? what went on in december— it was a few weeks ago? what went on in december 2022 _ it was a few weeks ago? what went on in december 2022 was _ it was a few weeks ago? what went on in december 2022 was appalling i it was a few weeks ago? what went on in december 2022 was appalling and i in december 2022 was appalling and was really bad. it is still difficult and i think it is important we do not get into the habit of thinking there is a plan and there for everything is fixed. the situation is not what people want to do. this plan is not a magic

wand, it is still very tough. i regularly go into departments and look at a list of patients waiting to be seen or admitted and it is overwhelming. we still have far too many people waiting too long. either in ambulances orforan many people waiting too long. either in ambulances or for an ambulance to pick them up or waiting to be admitted in emergency departments. fundamentally our hospitals are too full and we need to increase capacity. the plan talks about that, like every plan, what really matters is how this gets implemented and there needs to be a commitment and a laserlike focus and we hope that people in the media such as you will keep an eye on occupancy rates because ultimately that is what will get us out of this pickle. ih because ultimately that is what will get us out of this pickle.— get us out of this pickle. in terms of requiring _ get us out of this pickle. in terms of requiring more _ get us out of this pickle. in terms of requiring more staff, _ get us out of this pickle. in terms of requiring more staff, not i get us out of this pickle. in terms of requiring more staff, notjust l get us out of this pickle. in terms| of requiring more staff, notjust in hospital but in social care, ultimately for many people making a decision about whatjob they take, whether they decide to be trained to become a carer, to working in social care is what the pay is like. and thatis

care is what the pay is like. and that is a huge issue, notjust for people thinking of being a carer but also people within the nhs itself. do you see any prospect that the pay problems will be resolved? ih do you see any prospect that the pay problems will be resolved?— problems will be resolved? in social care? we need _ problems will be resolved? in social care? we need to _ problems will be resolved? in social care? we need to decide _ problems will be resolved? in social care? we need to decide on - problems will be resolved? in social care? we need to decide on society| care? we need to decide on society how much we value the work. it is much more expensive for someone to stay in hospital getting less good care than being discharged into social care. the economics of this should make sense to pay social care staff more. i know that you work across multiple budgets and so on but actually just pay them more. across multiple budgets and so on but actuallyjust pay them more. stand but actually 'ust pay them more. and does that but actuallyjust pay them more. and does that apply, we heard a couple of minutes ago in a report, the possibility that nurses could move from england to other parts of the uk were perhaps they are a little further down the line in trying to resolve a pay issue. how concerned are you that they could manifest

in his own half and shrugged off nearly half the england team, the ultimate modern16.5 stone winner. his ultimate modern16.5 stone winner unstoppable. well, perhaps even scotland's coach could not quite believe it. there were four tries in the first half. england could attempt as well and they had a one point time that might lead at halftime. they needed intensity, accuracy. ellis genge with a strong demonstration. if there was a gap, scotland would burst through. ben white to the line. enough said. still behind in the match with time running out scotland move the ball to van der merwe and he moved mountains. from defeat to victory, to 29—23. to win a match like this here, imagine what it does to scotland's confidence and, in contrast, to england's. one word to sum up the reaction here, stunned. in wales, ireland scored 27 points in the first half, pretty stunning.

welcome home coach warren gatland, an adopted welshmen not used to losing in cardiff. in the second half a try was scored and by the end ireland had managed four. 34—10, the clinical rugby that wins matches and often championships. joe wilson, bbc news. so the final match of the opening six nations weekend is in rome this afternoon, with holders france taking on italy. to football now, and there's a big opportunity for manchester city later. they can move to within two points of premier league leaders arsenal, if they beat tottenham later. that's after the gunners were beaten 1—0 by everton at goodison park. james tarkowski scored the goal, to get new manager sean dyche's reign off to a dream start, and give them their first win in 11 games. it isa it is a great starting point, of course. arsenal of flying, they are doing brilliantly. it is a really big start. but the next one doesn't

guarantee it. i have told the players, we are ready to start again. keep working, keep improving. liverpool's season continues to go from bad to worse as they lost at wolves. an own goal early on from joel matip summed up their day as they were comfortably beaten 3—0. it means that last year's premier league runners—up are still waiting for their first league win of 2023. manchester united are up to third after beating crystal palace 2—1 at old trafford, despite having play with ten men for nearly half an hour. goals from bruno fernandes and marcus rashford had given united a comfortable lead in the second half, before casemiro was sent off for violent conduct after var spotted this incident. palace pulled one back but united hung on for the three points. in scotland, rangers closed the gap on leaders celtic to six points after beating ross county. it finished 2—1 at ibrox with borna barisic scoring the winner with this deflected free kick. celtic will have the chance to go nine clear again when they travel to stjohnstone this afternoon. the top two in women's super league, manchester united and arsenal, are only separated by goal difference and are both in action today.

while manchester city moved into third in the table with a 2—0 win against bottom—side leicester city. england forward chloe kelly scoring her first wsl goal of the season. to tennis. great britain are back in the davis cup world group, after beating colombia. after victory in the doubles put them 2—1 up, it was left to cameron norrie to win his singles rubber. the british number one made light work of his opponent nicolas mejia at altitude. a straight sets win sealing their passage into the final stages once again. great britain are looking good for a medal at the bobsleigh world championships in switzerland. brad hall and his team are in second place of the four—man bobsleigh competition, with the final two heats taking place today. but they'll need get past the german group fronted by four—time olympic champion francesco friedrich if they're to take the gold. they have been on a great run, the

this form of fishing community finds ways to honour her memory. but in a city now making more of its maritime mystery, they believe that the women deserve a permanent reminder of what they achieved. joe meikle, bbc news. it is a great story. ian cuthbert, who we've just seen in that film, joins us now from hull. it isa it is a fantastic story, i was sitting and thinking, why don't we know more about these women and they did? tell me, what kind of women were they? clearly they had a lot of obstacles to overcome back then? they had massive obstacles to overcome back then. in 1968. women's place was not in the world of big business, certainly not in the world of trawler ownership and the fishing industry. and they did get a lot of abuse. yvonne blenkinsop was

assaulted in a restaurant, she was punched in the mouth. lillian blackman, she lost herjob, she was sent poison pen letters with death threats on a daily basis, but it didn't stop them. they were the toughest women i have ever known in my life. at the same time, they were also the nicest. yvonne was the most beautiful woman i've ever met, she was like another nano to me. my little six—year—old son, he used to go around to his nana yvonne's house, that is what he called her. ian, just take us back to the reason ian, just take us back to the reason i felt so motivated to do something. it was born out of a huge trauma, wasn't it, deaths in hull? {iii wasn't it, deaths in hull? of course, the men were dying on a weekly basis, in 1968, at this time, actually, 55 years ago today, was the loss of the third ship in the triple trawler disaster. a ship called the ross cleveland was lost

in iceland 55 years ago last night. it went down. and that was it, as far as they were concerned. they said enough is enough, enough of our men had gone, it was about time things changed. they used to say, you're not paying for fish with money, you are paying for it with men's lives. there wasn't enough safety in place, enough health and safety in place, enough health and safety processes in place to keep those men safe on those ships. the ships themselves were seaworthy, don't get me wrong, but they were not designed to cope with the bad weather they had to sail in. and as i say, enough of the men had died, they started and they got the reforms they wanted. something as simple as a radio operator on board the trawler. it wasn't happening. the most incredible thing, when you think about it, it was not illegal.

these things that have been brought into place, we taken for granted nowadays, but in those days it wasn't necessary.— nowadays, but in those days it wasn't necessary. ian, given what ou have wasn't necessary. ian, given what you have just _ wasn't necessary. ian, given what you have just said _ wasn't necessary. ian, given what you have just said about - wasn't necessary. ian, given what you have just said about the i wasn't necessary. ian, given what you have just said about the lackl wasn't necessary. ian, given what. you have just said about the lack of health and safety, the lives that were being lost, why were they assaulted, why in the report did we hear somebody saying, you know, they need to keep their noses out of it. why were people resistant to the change they were trying to bring in? i think it'll boil down to money, at the end of the day. i think that every trawler man, every trawler owner, that bread and butter and their livelihoods were at sea. in order to make industry safer, like they did, that would mean stopping it would mean to hold all the ships going in to the waters of iceland at this time, 55 years ago, and it was the worst winter in living memory. ships were capsizing in the ice and

the snow and the wind. they wanted to stop that, they wanted to stop the boats going in there. and the higher—ups and the trawler man didn't want that to happen, because it was their livelihood being taken away from them. and also, of course, women in those days, i hate to say it, but their places in the kitchen, it, but their places in the kitchen, it was at home, it was not in men's lives. that is why yvonne was punched in the face and a restaurant, she was told to keep those out, stop interfering, it is nothing to do with you, go back and look after the kids.— look after the kids. inaudible. you need to raise _ look after the kids. inaudible. you need to raise £100,000, _ look after the kids. inaudible. you need to raise £100,000, i- look after the kids. inaudible. you need to raise £100,000, | think, i look after the kids. inaudible. you | need to raise £100,000, i think, for the statue. wary up to with your fundraising so far?— the statue. wary up to with your fundraising so far? well, we have raised well _ fundraising so far? well, we have raised well over _ fundraising so far? well, we have raised well over £1000 _ fundraising so far? well, we have raised well over £1000 from i fundraising so far? well, we have raised well over £1000 from the l fundraising so far? well, we have i raised well over £1000 from the walk we did on friday. we are selling lots of these t—shirts, can you see this? lots of these t-shirts, can you see this? ., ., . , .., .. lots of these t-shirts, can you see this? ., ., . , .., ., . this? hold on a second, hold that there. this? hold on a second, hold that there- yes. _ this? hold on a second, hold that there. yes, we've _ this? hold on a second, hold that there. yes, we've got _ this? hold on a second, hold that there. yes, we've got it - this? hold on a second, hold that there. yes, we've got it now. i this? hold on a second, hold that i there. yes, we've got it now. we've got these t—shirts, they are doing two designs, also mugs and tote

back to hezel road after our walk, the first thing i went was to sit on yvonne blenkinsop's bench, i sat there and reflected for a few minutes what i had done. they've got the benches, they have got murals, there a great big mural, there is another mirror of all four of them on a wall on hezel road. they have got plaques in the maritime museum, on the wall. but what i wanted, i wanted a statue for them. as you say, it is only hull, but they didn'tjust say, it is only hull, but they didn't just save lives say, it is only hull, but they didn'tjust save lives in hull. they save lives worldwide. they were reforms brought into place, they did it overnight. people don't realise that when what happened happened, when the second trawler went down, they went out and got 10,000 signatures in days, and they took that petition all the way to westminster. they got a train and they met the minister for agriculture and fisheries, they handed him the petition, they had their meeting and overnight, that

night, the fishing industry changed for the better. the better and came from being the most dangerous profession in the world to being that little bit much safer. lives they have saved from then resonates to now and people say they save countless lives, they saved millions of lives all over the world. the fishing industry changed completely that day 55 years ago and i am sure, undoubtedly without doubt about it there are people walking the streets right now who would not be here today if it were not for the actions of those women took 55 years ago. because this would have carried on happening and ships would have carried on being lost. it happening and ships would have carried on being lost.— carried on being lost. it really is fascinating- _ carried on being lost. it really is fascinating. thank _ carried on being lost. it really is fascinating. thank you - carried on being lost. it really is fascinating. thank you for i carried on being lost. it really is| fascinating. thank you for telling us about it so eloquently. they sound like formidable women. mr;

compensation. high—pressure moves in eastwoods overnight towards england and wales so very light wind and this is where we will see the lowest of the temperatures, mist and fog developing as well for scotland, northern ireland more of a breeze and more cloud so it will not be as cold as it does mean it will be cloudy tomorrow across scotland and northern ireland stop even turning windy across the far north—west of scotland. cold and frosty start in england and wales mixed fog first thing to clear leaving another sunny day. a little cloud towards the western areas temperatures single figures for most, reaching 10 degrees further north and west we more cloud and breeze. there could be mist and fog lingering through the morning otherwise this is where we will see the best of the sunshine, more cloud for scotland and northern ireland, the weather front trying to push in here and thatis front trying to push in here and that is why we will see wind picking up that is why we will see wind picking up as well. a lot of isobars here so it will be windy across the north of

scotland certainly as we move through the course of the week and the chances of gail's here by thursday. dry day, a lot of cloud around, and these are mean wind speeds, gusts will be higher but still under the influence of high—pressure, wind, cold starts, plenty of sunshine and a chilly day when mist and fog lingers. for thursday and friday apart from the wet and windy weather passing across the north of the uk and across scotland elsewhere it will be high—pressure bringing fine unsettled conditions remaining on the chilly side with overnight frost and patchy fog as well. back to you, roger and sarah.— and patchy fog as well. back to you, roger and sarah. thank you very much indeed. roger and sarah. thank you very much indeed- douglas _ roger and sarah. thank you very much indeed. douglas has _ roger and sarah. thank you very much indeed. douglas has sent _ roger and sarah. thank you very much indeed. douglas has sent a _ roger and sarah. thank you very much indeed. douglas has sent a tweet i indeed. douglas has sent a tweet which i have now lost saying that there is a tv drama. you

disinformation, bullying, fraud. you name it, and you can do it online. so when it comes to the next generation of the internet, often referred to as the metaverse, we're going to have the same problems. and even though the metaverse doesn't even exist yet, there are those who are already thinking about these problems and trying to pre—empt the troubles we may face. and marc cieslak�*s been finding out how the international police agency interpol has been training to fight real crimes in virtual worlds. terrorism... ..organised crime... ..and, increasingly, cybercrime. interpol�*s role is to connect police forces across international borders to fight these threats. from its headquarters in the french city lyon, interpol fosters collaboration between law enforcement in 195 countries. while the people inside this building co—ordinate interpol�*s activities in the real world,

the international law enforcement agency is about to expand into a newjurisdiction. the metaverse. the metaverse remains a conceptual notion. the next evolution of the internet, where users experience their online lives represented by 3d avatars. while the idea of the metaverse isn't quite ready for prime time yet, interpol is already experimenting with the tech. first, to provide remote online training as well as researching threats the metaverse could pose. it even has plans to use it as an investigatory tool. what can we consider a crime in the metaverse? so, in terms of criminality, i would say we can broadly define it in two categories. some which are existing threats in different media and some are threats which may be totally new to metaverse — for example, things like financial frauds, data theft. those kinds of things

are already happening. then there are other crimes where we don't know whether it can still be called as a crime or not. for example, there have been reported cases of some harassment, sexual harassment. now, if you look at the definitions of these crimes in physical space and you try to apply it in the metaverse, there's a difficulty. so those issues are yet to be resolved. jurgen stock is interpol�*s secretary general. he thinks law enforcement and governments will need a proactive approach to regulating any coming metaverse. criminals are exploiting any new technology that helps them in making simply money very quickly. naturally, sometimes lawmaker, police, our societies are running a little bit behind. we see that currently in the deal with social media, for instance. it is important, of course, whatever new technology is being developed,

that we consider security by design. i think this will be a game—changer. consider ethical elements but also consider regulatory elements and consider how criminals can use it. the kinds of crime and harassment this tool has been designed to highlight for law enforcement are already occurring in forerunners to a proper metaverse experience. a worrying number of cases of harassment and abuse in social virtual reality spaces have come under the spotlight in recent months. nina patel is the founder of a metaverse company. she's experienced sexual harassment in vr first—hand. right now, today is the opportunity to lay the foundations for laws that apply to both the physical and the virtual world, and what is illegal and unacceptable in our physical world should be reflected equally in the metaverse. my particular experience was around sexual harassment in a newly launched social virtual space in which three male avatars surrounded me and continued

to sexually harass me, verbally harass me. and when we think about children entering these spaces and people who are vulnerable in our communities entering into these social virtual spaces for the first time, and this is an example of how we're supposed to behave in the metaverse? i shared my experience to highlight how much action needs to be taken to prevent this dysphoric future that we kind of are all afraid of. regulation, privacy, safety — all big metaverse challenges. interpol�*s experiment could herald the start of a new type of online law enforcement. my dad died at 59 with an aneurysm, and my two aunties have died. and i really wanted to just get it

out so that i could carry on and enjoy my life. maria is undergoing brain surgery at leeds general infirmary. i want to go back dancing, like i was dancing before. she's getting a procedure to control an aneurysm, which could lead to her having a stroke — the fourth biggest killer in the uk. dr patankar will place a springlike mesh known as a flow—diverter stent into maria's brain — but it's a risky business. the stent is a foreign material, and if you don't get it right in a blood vessel, it will irritate the blood flow, and it will cause thrombus, and that can block the blood vessels, and then you can get a big stroke and possibly die. so, ensuring that perfect fit is vital. each individual has extremely unique configuration of blood vessels. some people even don't have certain blood vessels. this is how unique the configurations are. so it's like a retina in your eye or fingerprint. and that's why no two

people are the same. so that brings the problem with what is the best device in all those different parts of the body? because once a device is in, you can't actually get it out. well, now there's an app for that — presize by oxford heartbeat automates the stent measuring process and suggests the best stent for the job. this is one of the very first surgeries to use this new software as part of the nhs trial. maria is going to be patient numberfour. and i've been granted exclusive access to see how it goes. this one? yeah. 4cm. right, ok. that's one of the biggest ones i've treated. wow. with almost 20 years' experience behind the knife, dr patankar is the chief investigator for the pilot. no one aneurysm is similar to another. they have different problems. the access will be a problem. they can have different comorbidities. some can be ruptured, some can be unruptured. some can be 4mm, some can be 4cm, you know.

so you have to focus and tailor your treatment depending on the aneurysm. quarter of millimetres in the person's brain can make or break the procedure. for human minds, it's actually impossible to compute which one is best and what's going to happen if you put a particular one in those wiggly kind of structures, as you saw, those spaghetti kind of structures. there is, like, 102 different variations of diameters and lengths. tells you automatically, it has reconstructed the data for you. it's telling me that the artery, the stent is going to be small. it takes away all my pain away of trying to think and measure. the computer automatically tells me, "just use this." perfect. nice, yes. it's perfect. yeah. up until now, stenting procedures have been around 75% successful, but this is a possible game changer. katerina says her solution is almost foolproof. this trial is first of its kind. we're building the software, so it's a software product, but it's considered to be a medical device.

so it's treated as if we were developing implants, manufacturing implants. so, it has to be the same level of scrutiny and certification. but, with all new tech, there's room for improvement. it needs more stents on the shelf. people don't have to have one stent, like, today i used one, but using presize i could have used four or five different types. you know what? that was pretty amazing to witness, and it makes me think that any sort of new technology that can help those guys do a betterjob, it's pretty worth it. time to go retro now. this is a digital camera. when did you get your first one of these? early 2000s? i only ever had one. i mean, they were a real breakthrough at the time, but, oddly, they only lasted a few years because smartphones have already taken over, haven't they? yeah, it also felt like such a palaver to get the photos off it — which it shouldn't have done. it should have been simple. it should have been, but it was new, it was weird, it was complicated.

i mean, who on earth would want to go back to those days? tiktok — and 200 million views of #digitalcamera can't be wrong. shutter clicks. i never thought in my 20s i'd be romanticising technology from when i was 13. i have probably 30—odd cameras. i mean, i've put some... i've got a small collection there that i have. - they're all shapes and sizes. so, yes, it's becoming a bit of a problem. i that's the other thing with these is that they break. sometimes, if i like hit it against my palm, it'll start working again, which is such a foreign thing to me. like, you can'tjust like bang your phone against your hand and then, like, hope that it works again — but with these, you kind of can. my name's scott ewart. i live on the isle of arran- on the west coast of scotland. i'm 32 years old and i i take photographs with old digital cameras. i'd seen someone else doing it on tiktok, and i was like, - "why am i not doing this? "this looks brilliant! " i'm katie glasgow and i'm 25, so i'm like on the top end of gen 2.

i live in brooklyn now. the cameras i have now are ones that my older sister took to prom or, like, my brother had in college or that, like, my young childhood memories were recorded on. with your phone, like, you can take video and pictures of literally everything. so, your library is huge, versus you kind of have to decide, "oh, this is a moment that i actually want to preserve," or, "this is something i want to remember." i got a few folk ask, "0h, - where do you edit these photos? "are they edited?" and i always say, "these are never edited." - i want to show exactly how they come out on every camera, _ because it would completely defeat the purpose. - it looks like memories, like, i think because it's so blurry and it's imperfect, it looks more like how we remember things. oh, it's all right. tech moves fast. i know, but i talked about film cameras the way they're talking about digital cameras! at least they'll get old one day, i suppose. well, haven't all of us?

i'm afraid that's all we've got time for. full—length version of the programme can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching. we'll see you soon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and roger johnson. our headlines today... energy companies have until tuesday to decide what action they will take for customers who have had prepayment meters wrongfully installed. a "key witness" has come forward in the search speculation and abuse online. the head of the uk's biggest nursing union tells

the prime minister to make a new pay offer and avert next week's strikes in england. what a start to rugby union's six nations championship as a superb scotland get the better of england in a calcutta cup thriller at twickenham # the wombles of wimbledon common are we~~# _ and to remember is this? underground, overground, — wombling free — we look back on a furry, musical, success story as the wombles turn 50. yesterday it was cloudy across the board. today it is feeling cooler. staying largely dried this we can for most of us but i will have all the details on that very shortly. it's sunday the 5th february. our main story. the business secretary, grant shapps, has given energy firms a deadline of tuesday to say what action they will take for vulnerable customers who may

have had pre—payment meters wrongfully installed. it comes after an investigation by the times newspaper revealed that some debt agents working for british gas had broken into the homes of people struggling to pay their bills, in order to install the equipment. simonjones has this report. debt collectors working for british gas secretly filmed about to break into the home of a single father with young children to fit a prepayment meter. it is not an isolated case and has prompted the industry regulator ofgem to ask all energy companies to suspend the practice. but the business secretary is going further. grant shapps says... grant shapps is demanding to know by tuesday what action firms are going to take to compensate customers affected, and he wants

a new customer hotline set up to allow households to tell their own stories to the regulator. one fuel poverty charity says change is needed. it is clear the energy companies have not been following the rules, the energy regulator has not been enforcing them hard enough. lots of households have been put in terrible situations and are losing out. it's absolutely right that the industry should be under pressure to find a compensatory package for those. i would like it to be imposed by government regulators rather than the suppliers to offer it up themselves. energy suppliers can force—fit prepayment meters with a warrant. it should be a last resort if people are in arrears, and vulnerable customers should not be switched. more than 1,000 warrants a day were approved by magistrates last year, mainly to do this. the bbc has learned that courts were given advice suggesting those warrants could be waived through, which has led to concern from some legal experts. i don't think this is what the public would reasonably expect of a process that empowers

a private company to come and break yourfront door down. this has turned the process into a rubber stamp, when it should be a safeguard. british gas has now suspended all forced installations, and in a statement, ofgem said... energy uk, which represents the industry, says suppliers are now looking to fix any issues as quickly as possible. simon jones, bbc news. police searching for missing mother nicola bulley say a woman described as a key witness has been found. officers in lancashire appealed to find a person seen pushing a pram near where the 45—year—old disappeared — and last night added that a woman had come forward very quickly. nicola was seen with her spaniel by a fellow dog walker, shortly before nine o'clock last friday morning,

20 minutes later, she was last spotted in a field further along the riverbank. police have now established that her phone became stationary at a riverside bench at 20 past 9. 13 minutes later, her phone was found, along with her dog's harness. we can speak now to our reporter, phil mccann whojoins us from that area. phil, what's the latest from police? there was a quick turnaround between lancashire _ there was a quick turnaround between lancashire police putting out this appeal— lancashire police putting out this appeal yesterday, the woman pushing appeal yesterday, the woman pushing a pram. _ appeal yesterday, the woman pushing a pram, they revealed she had come forward _ a pram, they revealed she had come forward very — a pram, they revealed she had come forward very quickly in the woods of the police — forward very quickly in the woods of the police. the reason they wanted to speak— the police. the reason they wanted to speak to— the police. the reason they wanted to speak to her was because the friday— to speak to her was because the friday before last when nicola was last seen. — friday before last when nicola was last seen, this woman was walking through— last seen, this woman was walking through the village here and this road leads to the riverside path 'ust road leads to the riverside path just the — road leads to the riverside path just the other side of the bridge

"i'm not claiming to be blameless," she writes, "but fundamentally i wasn't given a reasonable chance to enact my policies

by a very powerful economic establishment, coupled with a lack of political support." she had assumed that her mandate "would be respected" and accepted, adding, "how wrong i was." unfunded tax cuts announced my ms truss and chancellor kwasi kwarteng lead to economic turmoil and tory mps turned against her. some say it's too soon for the former prime minister to try to answer for her actions. four months ago, she nearly crashed the british economy and had to leave downing street afterjust 44 days, becoming the shortest—serving prime minister. and i think when you have done something as spectacular as that, you need to build up the permission to be heard. you need to have people have a bit of time to look at you and say "ok, we're willing to listen to you again." i don't think nearly enough time has passed for her to be heard again by the british public. liz truss says she underestimated

the resistance she would have faced from whitehall and her own mps. labour claim the public�*s still paying the price and what's needed is an apology. liz truss argues there is still support for what shed tried to achieve and her intervention comes as some conservatives argue for tax cuts to come more quickly. a disaster in office, ms truss clearly still hopes she can make a case for what might have been. jonathan blake, bbc news. nursing leaders have made a direct appeal to the prime minister, saying an improved pay offer could be enough to suspend further strikes, scheduled in england for tomorrow and tuesday. it comes after the health secretary, steve barclay, urged unions to call off the planned industrial action. our correspondent vincent mcaviney reports. escalating strike action across the nhs in england. next week, nurses, paramedics, midwives and physiotherapists are due to hold what unions say is the biggest period of industrial action in the history of the health service.

last night, the head of the royal college of nursing union wrote to the prime minister urging him to take action to avoid further strikes. pat cullen told rishi sunak: he's punishing nurses in england by not coming to the table and talking about them, they are left behind, and if he really wants to stop nurses having to leave england now, to move to other parts of the uk, to earn a decent wage, then he needs to seriously come to the table and start to address the issues for them. the government says it has offered nurses and other nhs workers a pay rise of at least £ia00, and urged unions to call off the planned strikes before getting back round the table. as the impasse over pay continues, health leaders warn it's getting

harder for hospitals and other health services to cope. it's absolutely vital, in the interests of patients, in terms of those waiting for operations, those coming in as urgent cases, that we see a resolution to the industrial action. chanting: what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! unions hope the new payoff in wales this week will put pressure on the government in england to give ground, but for now, that's looking unlikely. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. the giant chinese balloon that had been floating over the united states has been shot down by an american fighterjet, off the coast of south carolina. the balloon, which the us says was being used to spy on military sites, appeared to plummet straight into the sea. china says it was a weather observation device which strayed off course. tim allman reports. for days now, all eyes have been on this solitary object, floating serenely through us airspace.

was it a harmless weather balloon or a spy in the sky, sent by the chinese? whatever it was, the american government had decided enough was enough. look at that trail of white vapour on the left of the screen. that is a us f—22 fighterjet, streaking towards the balloon. then, a second trail, this time from a sidewinder missile, about to bring its journey to an abrupt end. suddenly, we saw something take off from the jet and we knew it was a missile and you could see the explosion. didn't hear anything but saw the explosion of the balloon. gosh, it was almost like it was a moving cloud coming down. then the smoke was gone and then it started slowly going down towards the ocean. explosion. whoah! did you hear that? a few moments after the impact, the sound of the explosion

could be heard at ground level. then the remains of the balloon — its canopy torn to shreds, falls to the earth. a satisfying moment for president biden although he had to wait a few days for the operation to be carried out. i ordered the pentagon to shoot it down as soon as possible and they decided not to damage anyone on the ground and decided the best way to do that was to wait till it got over water. in a statement, chinese foreign ministry accused the us of overreacting: it added: the whole incident has caused tensions in what is already a delicate relationship. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, cancelled a planned trip to beijing as a result. the balloon is believed to have come down in relatively shallow water and any wreckage should be easily retrieved. the americans hope they will then be able to work out

exactly what the chinese were up to. tim allman, bbc news. it is teen minutes past eight. here's stav with a look at the weather. that is a beautiful picture behind you. good morning. it is. it is not completely blue skies that we have overhead. there will be high client around today. chillier than it was yesterday. this cold front, mostly slipping across the channel now into the near continent and we are under this window of fine weather. a bit of a brace across the far south—east and east anglia this morning and a breeze picking up across the northern and western isles and here we will see most of the high cloud

as we move through this afternoon, sunshine turning hazy. essentially a fine afternoon, with single figure values for most compared to what we have had over the last few days. high pressure pushes towards the east, england and wales under its influence with lighter winds and clearer skies, influence with lighter winds and clearerskies, it influence with lighter winds and clearer skies, it will be cold and frosty in the towns and cities as well, some mist and follow, more of a breeze, not as cold in scotland and northern ireland. brazier in the north and west through the day, the best of the sunshine for large parts of england and wales after any mist and fog clearing and it is a bright day. figures of up to 10 degrees in the north and west. tuesday, while cloud around generally. mist and fog around in england and wales which could be stopping to clear and for it clears sunny spells but it will

be chilly after a cold start, 5—9 , possibly 10 degrees in scotland and northern ireland because of the breeze. this weather front moves perilously close to the north and west of the uk until wednesday and thursday, scraping past scotland, windy here on thursday. wednesday is mostly dry, some splashes of rain in the north—west uk, these wind speeds are mean, the gusts will be higher but england and wales, the best of the sunshine after a frosty start and the light winds. you can see mid to operate single digits. on thursday and friday wet and windy weather moving across the northern half of scotland, elsewhere it's largely dry because of the high pressure and lighter winds, but in the east, overnight frost and fog. not a bad week of the robot chillier than what we have been used to but

it is winter! i than what we have been used to but it is winter! . ., than what we have been used to but it is winter!— it is winter! i have got used to the warmer temperatures. _ it is winter! i have got used to the warmer temperatures. i _ it is winter! i have got used to the warmer temperatures. i need - it is winter! i have got used to the warmer temperatures. i need to l it is winter! i have got used to the l warmer temperatures. i need to get the will is out again! it is a quarter past eight now. if you want to vote in england's local council elections this may, you'll need to show photo id at the polling station before you receive a ballot paper. that is a real change. people have just got used to turning up! the government says this law change is needed to prevent fraud, but opponents say it'll mean fewer people will take part. simon gilbert reports. if you've ever visited a pub, a betting shop, or even a supermarket, the chances are you've probably been asked for id. but what you might not know is that from may, you'll need photo id to vote in elections. councils across the west midlands will be holding elections in may and in order to take part you can show a valid form of id at a polling station. they can range from passports and driving licences to free

voter authority certificates. of course, you can avoid all that by applying for a postal vote. one survey released this month has shown 60% of people don't know that they need id to vote. further analysis showed more conservative voters were unaware of the changes than labour voters, while 82% of those surveyed in the west midlands said they had not been contacted by their council about id requirements. we took to the streets to see if the message was getting through. at the next election, you're going to have to have photo id to vote. did you know that? no. that's brand new information for you. yeah. you think councils and the likes are doing enough to make people aware that they need this id? no, definitely not. i mean, i haven't heard of it. if it's not in the... it should be in the papers and in the radio. it's not a good idea because the simple reason people like me don't have a passport. so... and we don't intend to go abroad because we can't afford it because the gas and electric are so high. coventry city council held a debate on the topic this month where the labour leadership joined the likes of the electoral reform society in suggesting the scheme

was farfrom picture perfect. photographs on average cost about £4 to £5 for a set. now, when somebody has to decide whether to pay for photographs or pay for food for their family, bearing in mind the current climate in terms of financing for people, they may well decide, look, we're going to use that money to support theirfamily, which everybody understands. regardless of how the politicians and the public feel those running the elections say it's probably too late to change the rules now. the teams are working towards delivering it now. so if it were delayed to unpick all of that and safely deliver, all of that and safely deliver the elections would probably cause as many issues as actually rolling this one out now. councils have already started rolling out information campaigns about the requirement. the main message being to make sure you have the required documents as soon as possible. that was simon gilbert reporting. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us.

heard from simon that many people are potentially not aware of what is needed. are people going to be allowed to vote if they do not have the required idea? this allowed to vote if they do not have the required idea?— the required idea? this is new for scotland england _ the required idea? this is new for scotland england and _ the required idea? this is new for scotland england and wales, - the required idea? this is new for- scotland england and wales, northern iretahd, _ scotland england and wales, northern ireland, people already need photographic id to vote. there is a specific— photographic id to vote. there is a specific list, including a photographic driving licence, some travel— photographic driving licence, some travel passes for example older or disabled _ travel passes for example older or disabled people's travel passes, not younger— disabled people's travel passes, not younger people is travel cards so it's quite — younger people is travel cards so it's quite a — younger people is travel cards so it's quite a specific list. if you were — it's quite a specific list. if you were thinking i do not have any of those _ were thinking i do not have any of those documents, there is a way for you to _ those documents, there is a way for you to vote, — those documents, there is a way for you to vote, you need to apply for a boat or— you to vote, you need to apply for a boat or authority certificate, you can do _ boat or authority certificate, you can do that _ boat or authority certificate, you can do that online or by post to your— can do that online or by post to your tocat— can do that online or by post to your local council and what they will ask — your local council and what they will ask you for details like your name. — will ask you for details like your name, address, national insurance number, _ name, address, national insurance number, date of birth and a

happy valley. lots of households, all across the country, including years! well, tonight it's the last ever episode. there is an extra ten minutes added on to the show tonight. but i cannot actually believe they will pull all of those threads together! whatever happens in the finale, the show has already made a huge impact in calderdale, west yorkshire, where it's been filmed. phil bodmer has been there to find out more. it is human remains. it is a crime drama that has gripped the nation. despite the gritty content it has success that has a positive impact on some of the locations seen on the small screen. is that where you want your kids to grow up?! at the cafe in halifax, the owner says there has been an increase in the number of customers popping over. is it a good thing? yes.

very good. everybody is watching _ and for business and for halifax. behind the impressive facade, civic leaders are delighted with the coverage on prime time tv. we could see people coming in and looking for some of the recognisable locations and i think that will continue over summer. we had the same experience with gentleman jack, so we know what to expect and we are keen to build on that. and as a local authority leader it must fill you with an enormous sense of pride. the nine o'clock continuity announcement last week said over to hebden bridge. you cannot pay for coverage like that. it is priceless.

where is the hotel spa? just down the stairs, turn right and through to the next room. this is the hotel in halifax, you may recognise the reception area here because it featured in the addition last sunday that it also has a bit of a pedigree when it comes to television production because it also featured in sally wainwright's last tango in halifax. we are led to believe that the piece we were featured in last week was written specifically to feature us. sally is a great friend of the hotel and for her to do that was marvellous. what do you this publicity means for tourism? it highlights the area and brings the caulder valley into knowledge. we have diverse landscapes, we have terrace houses and then you have rolling hills and it is growing that interest in the area. i am going back to work. for those who know it, this part of the world is always possessed a unique charm. thanks to a dark television drama, a light has been shone on the happy

it is very good of her to release it on the day that our royal correspondent is sitting on the sofa with us! �* ,., correspondent is sitting on the sofa with us! . . , correspondent is sitting on the sofa withus! . , , . with us! and so many people are sa in: with us! and so many people are saying how _ with us! and so many people are saying how much _ with us! and so many people are saying how much prince - with us! and so many people are saying how much prince louis i with us! and so many people are i saying how much prince louis looks like! and lots of other famous faces have been getting involved in sharing their baby photos too, but can you guess who they are? this young man is only five in this picture — but his right foot looks ready to make a big impact. it is england football captain and tottenham hotspur striker harry kane! who could this be? at three years old she was already spicing up her life by experimenting with fashion. it's fashion designer and former spice girl victoria beckham! like butter wouldn't melt. this five—year—old has his cords on, his skates on — both things you wouldn't be wearing in a kitchen. but without the chef whites you can tell it is jamie oliver!

at four years old this girl is already a natural in front of the camera, but who could it be? it's tv presenter and singer rochelle humes! it is extraordinary how little they have changed. weren't they cute? but are they as cute as these two? just to be clear, that is me on the left! you've been sending in photos of you in your early years so let's have a look. thank you to everyone who has sent in a picture! this looks like a similar vintage to us! jamie in pembrokeshire sent in this one of him posing for the camera aged three. when she was six months old. brian in peterborough is also a baby when he was pictured here with his grandad.

i felt a little ifelt a little bit i felt a little bit guilty because i cropped my late mum out of my photograph! karen in somerset sent this picture with her mum and dad 64 years ago. she said sadly her dad is no longer with us but her mum will be 91 on friday. and here with a cheeky smile is steve in margate who was at the park ready to play football. and we should say the idea behind this are supporting the shapeliness campaign formed by the princess of wales, talking about how people are shaped between the ages of zero and five years old. this shaped between the ages of zero and five years old-— five years old. as we said, not everyone _ five years old. as we said, not everyone has _ five years old. as we said, not everyone has happy _ five years old. as we said, notj everyone has happy memories five years old. as we said, not - everyone has happy memories from early years, but anyway, thank you so much for sharing all your pictures this morning. sport time. lots of great photos of

you! six _ sport time. lots of great photos of ou! ,, ., ., , sport time. lots of great photos of ou! ,, . ., , sport time. lots of great photos of ou! ,, . .,, sport time. lots of great photos of ou!. . .,, , you! six nations has been absolutely brilliant so far, _ you! six nations has been absolutely brilliant so far, first _ you! six nations has been absolutely brilliant so far, first two _ you! six nations has been absolutely brilliant so far, first two games - brilliant so far, first two games are phenomenal and there is a behind the scenes documentary being made and i think we will see some gems, first—class entertainment. it always is, a fixture in the schedules every year. scotland fans will be waking up happy this morning, after they made history on the opening weekend of the six nations. they beat england 29—23 in a thrilling match. duhan van der merwe was the star of the show, scoring two incredible tries as they came from behind with about ten minutes to go. it means scotland have won back—to—back matches at twickenham for the first time in history. there is more to come and we know it is just the first game, and sometimes you do not get your whole game out in that first game, but there's definitely more to come and i have to say, i thought the atmosphere was brilliant and the amount of scotland supporters that were there, it is the loudest i have heard flower of scotland sung down here, so thanks to them for coming

down and helping us over the line. i was really proud of the fight and commitment they showed within it. we made errors, and that is a new team build, new combinations, sometimes that happens. now what we've got to do is improve and be better this coming week. we have got players, i want them to go onto the pitch and i want them to back themselves, i want them to bring all their strength onto the pitch and feel trusted to do that. to kick the tournament off, the world number one side ireland made the ideal start to their six nations after picking up a bonus point win against wales in cardiff. ireland dominated the first half and scored three tries beforejosh van der flier ran over the fourth, which earns them the extra point. it finished 34—10 to ireland. in wales, head coach warren gatland's first game back in charge. what is impressive is that you need to be pretty good first game up to win here and history has not been

great, so we expected that of ourselves, because our preparation has been a top drawer over the last 12 days. it has been a top drawer over the last 12 da s. . , ., . 12 days. it was tough and disappointing, _ 12 days. it was tough and disappointing, but - 12 days. it was tough and disappointing, but they l 12 days. it was tough and l disappointing, but they are 12 days. it was tough and - disappointing, but they are a good size and _ disappointing, but they are a good size and a — disappointing, but they are a good size and a good side because they have been— size and a good side because they have been together for a long time and do _ have been together for a long time and do not — have been together for a long time and do not make many mistakes and that is— and do not make many mistakes and that is why— and do not make many mistakes and that is why they are the number one side in _ that is why they are the number one side in the _ that is why they are the number one side in the world and that is kind of the _ side in the world and that is kind of the step— side in the world and that is kind of the step up that we need to take, being _ of the step up that we need to take, being clinical, patient. so the final match of the opening six nations weekend is in rome this afternoon, with holders france taking on italy. to football now, and there's a big opportunity for manchester city later. they can move to within two points of premier league leaders arsenal, if they beat tottenham later. that's after the gunners were beaten 1—0 by everton at goodison park. james tarkowski scored the goal to get new manager sean dyche's reign off to a dream start and give them theirfirst win in 11 games. it isa it is a great start, but of course arsenal off—line, they're doing

brilliantly will stop it is a really good start but the next one does not guarantee because of that one, so i have told the players i'm ready, come in we are ready to start again on monday. keep working, keep improving. liverpool's season continued to go from bad to worse as they lost at wolves. an own goal early on from joel matip summed up their day as they were comfortably beaten 3—0. it means that last year's runners—up are still waiting for their first league win of 2023. manchester united are up to third after beating crystal palace 2—1 at old trafford, despite having to play with ten men for nearly half an hour. goals from bruno fernandes and marcus rashford had given united a comfortable lead in the second half before casemiro was sent off for violent conduct after var spotted this incident. palace pulled one back but united hung on for the three points, and the sending off was the big talking point for united boss erik ten hag. in scotland, rangers closed the gap on leaders celtic to six points after beating ross county. it finished 2—1 at ibrox with borna barisic scoring the winner with this deflected free kick.

celtic will have the chance to go nine clear again when they travel to stjohnstone this afternoon. the top two in women's super league are only separated by goal difference — leaders manchester united are in action later. manchester city moved into third in the table with a 2—0 win against bottom—side leicester city. england forward chloe kelly scoring her first wsl goal of the season. great britain are back in the davis cup world group after beating colombia. after victory in the doubles put them 2—1 up, it was left to cameron norrie to win his singles rubber. the british number one made light work of his opponent, nicolas mejia, at altitude. a straight sets win sealing their passage into the final stages once again. great britain are looking good for a medal at the bobsleigh world championships in switzerland. brad hall and his team are in second place of the four—man bobsleigh competition, with the final two heats taking place today. but they'll need to get past the german group fronted by four—time olympic champion francesco friedrich if they're to take the gold.

finally, a star—studded charity football match will take place in may in honour of the former bristol rovers, bristol city and yeovil striker marcus stewart. it's to raise funds for motor neurone disease following marcus's diagnosis just over a year ago. damian derrick reports. oh, and here's marcus stewart onside for ipswich. _ and he returns with a goal. a 20—year career that took him all the way to the premier league with ipswich and sunderland, but it started at bristol rovers and he's back here with a different challenge. marcus, first and most important question, how are you? i'm fine, yeah. well, i'm not, of course, but psychologically, yeah i'm good. physically all good apart from one arm. but i've got to adapt and i've adapted ok. grip's a bit dodgy, can't pick a cup of tea up, but it's great because someone else has got to do it for me! over the last couple of years, the profile of mnd has been raised

massively through the likes of doddie weir, rob burrow, stephen darby. what difference has that made? i mean, obviously the first point of contact was stephen darby, because it was the football connection there between us both and ended up meeting up with him, you know, giving me loads of good advice. we're friends, we haven't got a history. we've both got mnd and we both want the same thing, a cure. and we both want to help each other and we want to help other people. hence today's announcement of the charity match, including former manchester united player paul scholes and england lioness jill scott. the main thing is they're coming to help raise money for motor neurone disease. it's that simple. and as it stands now, i'm not too emotional about it, of course, because the game is not in front of me. you know, i love to control my emotions like i did at ipswich the other week. and if i don't and ifeel like it, who knows? i'll have a little tear. marcus has a place in the hearts of football fans across the west. now they have the chance to show how much. damian derrick there with that

report on marcus stewart. there are a lot of big names playing in that match in may, jamie redknapp, jill scott, paul scholes, a bit like soccer aid if you like. i have been involved in a lot of matches like these and they really get a good turnout, especially if it is a course like that, so the more who support that they better. absolutely, a great cause and one we know a lot about on the programme. for generations of postmen and women, it wasn't unusual to walk 20 miles each day to deliver mail in rural communities. it's something that's mostly died out with the introduction of vans, but author alan cleaver, from cumbria, is hoping to track down some of the last workers who walked those remote, countryside routes. mark mcalindon went to meet him.

itjust struck me that although they're no longer walked by postmen, they make nice walks. and the history and the postmen and postwomen behind them. i think part of it is just the nostalgia. we're reaching a time where the post office is changing, of course. handwritten letters are few and far between, and i think people hanker for the day when a friendly voice would shout out and knock on the door delivering the post. postmen and women could walk 18, 20 miles a day, six days a week, including christmas day. and they they delivered letters, but they also delivered parcels, newspapers. but they also delivered medicine and bread and food.

and you're left full of admiration for these people walking in all weathers. this is the perfect time to record the routes, make sure that they do survive, and also the history of the people, you know, who did the rounds and delivered them. beautiful countryside, that was up in cumbria. beautiful countryside, that was up in cumbria— last week, heavy rainfall brought havoc to the city of auckland in new zealand, downing trees, flooding homes and closing major roads. a lifeguard from the uk who travelled to work in new zealand during the british off—season was part of a team who saved 69 people from the flood waters, with the help of their surf rescue boats. we can speak to harry barea now. good morning, how are you? hi, how is it going? _ good morning, how are you? hi, how is it uuoin? good morning, how are you? hi, how is it going?— is it going? good, thanks for talkin: is it going? good, thanks for talking to — is it going? good, thanks for talking to us. _ is it going? good, thanks for talking to us. normally - is it going? good, thanks for talking to us. normally you i is it going? good, thanks for. talking to us. normally you are is it going? good, thanks for- talking to us. normally you are a lifeguard in cornwall but out there for the off—season, just to claim

clear, some cloud around, that may turn the sunshine and a bit hazy at times, but when satellite for most away from the far south—east on the far north—west of scotland, those temperatures at seven to 9 degrees. a bit lower than what we have been used to. tonight to this high pressure drifts further eastwards. looks like england and wales will be under it centred so here we will see the latest winds, clearest skies and a recipe for a cold night to come, widespread frost and mist and fog. more of a breeze for scotland and northern ireland, not quite as cold there but you will have more cloud across the of the uk for monday. more of a breeze here too, and england and wales mostly dry once again after that cold start and mist and fog should clear. into the afternoon it stays bright. temperatures at single digits. could be up to 10 degrees in the north—west where there is more cloud and breeze because it did start off so chilly. same for tuesday, bit

more cloud around, this cloud for england and wales, could be mist and fog which could lift into low cloud and linger through the day, so patchy cloud, sunny spells that sums up patchy cloud, sunny spells that sums up tuesday quite nicely, feeling quite cool and breezy for the north—west corner of scotland. you can see why as we move through the week, through thursday could turn wet and windy for a time across the northern half of scotland is that weather front moves through, but for wednesday, before the trend moves in, it will be breezy, more cloud in scotland and northern ireland, the odd shower, and another chilly start with frost. when the speeds will be higher for the with frost. when the speeds will be higherfor the hebrides with frost. when the speeds will be higher for the hebrides as this weather front higher for the hebrides as this weatherfront continues higher for the hebrides as this weather front continues to push in and it will bring a spell of wet and windy weather for a and it will bring a spell of wet and windy weatherfor a time and it will bring a spell of wet and windy weather for a time for thursday and then it clears, but for the majority of the country throughout the week and indeed as we head into the following weekend, high pressure will dominate and state largely financed settled. chilly night, bit of sunshine by day. that is your latest weather. thank you, have a

good day. a couple of weeks ago on breakfast, we introduced you to peggy, a pug cross, who'd been shortlisted for the title of "britain's ugliest dog". the team here thought she was gorgeous — and loads of you got in touch to say the same thing. however, peggy did win the title and her prize was a pampering session and professional photo shoot at a salon in beverley, east yorkshire. simon spark has the details. # ugly.# this is just part of an amazing transformation for peggy. from a dog that was once sneered at in the street to now being photographed for yet more celebrity status media attention. here we go. but she's here to receive her prize after being crowned the ugliest dog in britain. good girl! peggy's here in beverley, east yorkshire, to have her photoshoot and makeover. she's getting a blueberry facial i right now, which is really relaxing and cleans her face really well and is supposed to—

reduce tear staining. what do you think of her? i think she's really i cute in her own way. and for owner holly, a chance to reflect on a mad few weeks. it's been a bit of a whirlwind. it's been really crazy. a lot has happened really quickly. we'll see what sort of difference it makes, if any. i'm sure she's great anyway, either way. but she'll love all the pampering. she'll love all this. shampoo and cleansing complete, time tojoin chester to have her blow dry. so we'rejust trimming round her feet there. and then the next stage after that would be a clipping of nails. and then we've treated her to nose and paw balm as well. i mean, it's probably not somewhere that she often particularly... no, not at all. but yeah, we're so happy to have her. yeah. and then it was time to try on prizewinning garments, jumpers and jackets. she feels a lot softer.

she smells a lot better, her hair's a lot more fluffy. not a lot we can do with the rest. # let me see beneath your beautiful...# so here she is, transformed and ready to face her public. simon spark, bbc news. marvellous makeover. it leaves you a bit speechless. _ marvellous makeover. it leaves you a bit speechless, doesn't _ marvellous makeover. it leaves you a bit speechless, doesn't it? _ marvellous makeover. it leaves you a bit speechless, doesn't it? bless i bit speechless, doesn't it? bless her, well done peggy.— bit speechless, doesn't it? bless her, well done peggy. we will move on from peggy _ her, well done peggy. we will move on from peggy to — her, well done peggy. we will move on from peggy to the _ her, well done peggy. we will move on from peggy to the wombles. i it's been 50 years since the wombles first began wombling free on our televisions and they've been "making good use of bad rubbish" ever since. to mark the anniversary, ten original episodes of the children's series have been

remastered in high definition. if you haven't watched it in a while, this might jog your memory. # underground, overground, wombling free # the wombles of wimbledon common are we # making good use of the things that we find # things that the everyday folks leave behind.# this is the home of the wombles. tomsk, wellington and bungo are ready to start work. and here is great uncle bulgaria. but there is someone missing. it's not me, is it you? iam here. where is orinoco? there he is, late as usual.
