i listen to everyone in this category when i'm alone. and... ..i don't think any of us sit in the studio making decisions based on what is going to get is one of these. to get us one of these. this is really, really kind. i'm so, so grateful. the show was closed with legendary performers in a celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. some glorious weather outside this afternoon and particularly across england and wales, that's where the best of this afternoon's sunshine will be. scenes like these pretty widespread but there are exceptions with thicker cloud running into cumbria and fog patches around the thames estuary. further north—west we have thicker cloud working into

western scotland and northern ireland. a few spots of result for the hebrides and shetland this afternoon. it's quite mild, temperatures ranging between eight and 10 degrees, some of the higher temperatures where it is cloudy. in the south of the uk meanwhile, with clear skies it's a cold night. a widespread frost across most of england and wales with temperatures down as low as —6 in the countryside but as well as that we are looking at some fog which will become quite dense and widespread across east anglia and south—east england. catching elsewhere, but some of the fog could linger into the afternoon bringing quite cool weather. scotland and northern ireland, increasingly moving into the north of england, some cloud and a spot of drizzle from that but for many tomorrow will be a dry day again. temperatures easing off in the far north of scotland. some mist and fog

patches across england and wales to start the day, another frosty start for some, start the day, another frosty start forsome, but start the day, another frosty start for some, but the winds will pick up across western areas and it will be across western areas and it will be a blustery afternoon for northern ireland and scotland with a band of rain is starting to edge closer. as we go through wednesday night, the winds are set to pick up even further across the north—west where we could see gusts of wind reaching around 75 mph, potentially bringing localised disruption here. the strongest winds from this weather system will be ahead of this cold front, and by the time we get to thursday that cold front will be easing southwards and eastwards across the uk, introducing fresher air. and across scotland you will notice the change, there will be some showers here. falling wintry, some showers here. falling wintry, so some sleet mixed in in shetland and orkney. there will be snow above and orkney. there will be snow above an elevation of 400 metres or so. temperatures will be down closer to normal for the time of year with highs of seven or 8 degrees through

thursday afternoon. that caller shot of weather doesn't last long because it turns milder again, through friday and saturday, but there will be rain accompanying that particularly in scotland at times. thank you. and a reminder of our top story this lunchtime. rescue efforts continue as more than 1700 people are confirmed dead and many injured after powerful earthquakes in turkey. the uk will send search and rescue specialists to help. that's it, so goodbye from me. the latest headlines from bbc sport centre. manchester city accused of

more than 100 charges of breaching financial rules by the premier league following a four year investigation. possible sanctions are found proven include points deductions or even expulsion or a relegation from the league. i spoke to olly foster who explained what the main charges are. you can strip it back to five areas of the alleged breaches following a four—year premier league investigation. between 2009—18, they found there was a failure to provide accurate financial information regarding its revenue and operating costs by city, between 2009 in 2013, failure to provide details of the manager's pay, roberto mancini, his time in charge, between 2010—16, failure to provide detail of player payments and salaries and contact information. 2015—18, breaching rules on profitability and sustainability, the financial

fair play rules. for the duration of this premier league investigation, as well, they have accused city of failure to cooperate with this investigation that has been going on to assisting by providing the necessary documents so a lengthy list of alleged breaches and the premier league will pass those onto an independent commission. this premier league investigation started after uefa investigated manchester city for breaching their own financial fair play regulations. back in 2014 they were found guilty by uefa and there was a settlement and most recently, manchester city overturned a uefa fine and also expulsion from uefa competitions, they had to go to the court of arbitration of sport. we will wait to see what the commission, it will be put together by the premier league independently but you are

right, they could be expelled, that is the nuclear option, from the premier league, fined or suspended by the premier league as well. a number of options for them but i'm sure manchester city's lawyers will be getting to work very quickly. manchester city have said in a statement they are surprised by the issuing of the alleged breaches of premier league rules given the... they lost to tottenham yesterday, they are five points off league leaders arsenal, tottenham won 1—0 with 267th for the cup for harry kane, head of the greatjimmy

greaves as the all—time top scorer for tottenham, 200th goal in the premier league, only alan shearer and wayne rooney have scored more, coming at the tottenham hotspur stadium in front of friends, family and home fans. an arbitration hearing is under way in london to decide whether players in golf�*s breakaway saudi funded liv tour can continue to play on the world tour. and escape financial punishments. players asked to be released from the dp world tour in order to play with liv. players decided to take part anyway for which they were fine. the hearing will decide whether they can play in future dp world tour events, including playing in the ryder cup and other events.

well over 1000 people, the turkey authorities are saying now have died. 1121. across the border in syria, 783, and the sad thing is the death toll is highly likely to rise as the days progress. a second powerful earthquake has struck southern turkey and north—western syria, just hours after a pre—dawn quake levelled thousands of buildings. at least 1700 people are reportedly dead. president erdogan says dozens of countries have offered help following the disaster, which he called the worst to hit turkey since the war. martine croxall spoke to someone from the international rescue committee. from the international rescue committee-— from the international rescue committee. ., , ., committee. today is really about savinu committee. today is really about saving lives. _ committee. today is really about saving lives, we _ committee. today is really about

elsewhere in the world. this is an important reminder, this is a crisis within a crisis within a crisis. just this week we were already warning of freezing about to hit the region. you now have potentially tens of tens of thousands of people who are going to bed tonight with no adequate shelter, at the risk of exposure. adequate shelter, at the risk of exosure. ., ., ., ., ., exposure. you say an international effort is essential, _ exposure. you say an international effort is essential, they _ exposure. you say an international effort is essential, they need - exposure. you say an international effort is essential, they need to i effort is essential, they need to show solidarity. it is difficult for you i am sure to comment about the politics of these things but to what extent do you believe that political differences need to be set aside so that northern syria doesn't go without? t that northern syria doesn't go without? ~ ., , . ., without? i think what is clear in this earthquake _ without? i think what is clear in this earthquake is _ without? i think what is clear in this earthquake is that - without? i think what is clear in this earthquake is that it - without? i think what is clear in this earthquake is that it is - this earthquake is that it is affecting south turkey, syria, we even felt it in lebanon. the earthquake does not respect borders. neither should our response to this, we need to ensure that the

life—saving a, resources and equipment needed is going to be on the ground as quickly as possible. life—saving aid to stop we are seeing footage from urban areas but are concerned really about the large population living in rural areas. living in makeshift shelters, could not withstand these kind of shocks. where there won't necessarily be people right now to pull them out of the buildings. to think this is going to be done and 24—hour is is a massive understatement. going to be done and 24-hour is is a massive understatement.— going to be done and 24-hour is is a massive understatement. clearly time is of the essence _ massive understatement. clearly time is of the essence but _ massive understatement. clearly time is of the essence but how— massive understatement. clearly time is of the essence but how perilous - is of the essence but how perilous is of the essence but how perilous is it for the rescue team is given we are seeing these huge secondary or after—shocks? t we are seeing these huge secondary or after-shocks?— or after-shocks? i was on a call with our team _ or after-shocks? i was on a call with our team in _ or after-shocks? i was on a call with our team in the _ or after-shocks? i was on a call with our team in the syria - or after-shocks? i was on a call with our team in the syria just i or after-shocks? i was on a call i with our team in the syria just ten minutes before this and you could see the camera shaking because there was another great big after—shock. i think we have had at least 70 after—shocks since the original earthquake. yes, they are still big.

people are having to evacuate. particularly stark taking of people working in health centres right now, you are going to have lots of people requiring urgent trauma treatment, operations and obviously with these after—shocks, that is putting the lives of the health care professionals at risk at the same time. we are seeing our staff and partners and authorities real bravery. i think there is a lesson to be learnt here that when such tragedy occurs it is important we all pull together.— tragedy occurs it is important we all pull together. more now from istanbul. our— all pull together. more now from istanbul. our correspondent - all pull together. more now from istanbul. our correspondent is i all pull together. more now from i istanbul. our correspondent is with us. the disaster agency as saying it is 1100 plus you have now died, the

fear that the number is going to rise much higher as rescuers and the emergency teams managed to pull people out of the rubble. unfortunately, the death toll is rising. disasterand unfortunately, the death toll is rising. disaster and emergency management, authorities announcing 1121, many wondered. president erdogan said he couldn't predict how high the death toll would rise. as far as we know nearly 3000 buildings have been destroyed as a result of the first earthquake. its magnitude was 7.7, second biggest earthquake in turkey's history. massive earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 hit turkey a couple of hours ago and then hunters were after—shocks. you

say 3000 buildings at least have collapsed. that means tens of thousands people tonight will have nowhere to go with temperatures plummeting overnight. unfortunately, this seems to be the case, clive. there is an eight corridor to allow eight teams to reach those affected. authorities have scrambled rescue teams, supplied aircraft of the affected area. search and rescue personnel are trying to reach people trapped under the rubble. the turkish red cross relief agency issues appeals nations. turkey is calling for international aid. president erdogan has said many countries have offered assistance. the uk are standing with turkey.

equipment and rescue dogs, eu search and rescue teams have been mobilised. the us, russia, china have offered. us presidentjoe biden has sent response options to the most affected areas. authorities struggling with extremely severe weather conditions, bad weather due to snow, rain, hampering search and rescue operations. have you seen anything as terrible as this in turkey? obviously, from my generation, a severe earthquake happened in 1999, a big effect on our psychology because it was a heavily populated region near

istanbul. killed more than 17,000 people. what we witnessed earlier todayis people. what we witnessed earlier today is the second largest earthquake in turkey's history, the biggest one happened in the eastern province in 1939. claimed more than 30,000 lives. unfortunately the debtor was rising. thank you, forjoining us from bbc turkey service. the turks are saying this is the worst earthquake in living memory. certainly in recent history. is that your understanding? t certainly in recent history. is that your understanding?— your understanding? i think so dependent _ your understanding? i think so dependent on _ your understanding? i think so dependent on which _ your understanding? i think so dependent on which sort - your understanding? i think so dependent on which sort of. your understanding? i think so - dependent on which sort of magnitude you look at for these, be it the old

earthquakes back in the early 20th century, magnitude estimates vary but we are at least equal to the 19 39 earthquake. the country is more densely populated now, taller buildings for example, i think we will see a much higher toll sadly. 3000 buildings apparently have collapsed in this earthquake. is it a surprise to have a seven plus magnitude earthquake and then another one of over seven in quick succession? 50 another one of over seven in quick succession?— another one of over seven in quick succession? so as a rule of thumb, if we compare. _ succession? so as a rule of thumb, if we compare, if _ succession? so as a rule of thumb, if we compare, if we _ succession? so as a rule of thumb, if we compare, if we look _ succession? so as a rule of thumb, if we compare, if we look at - succession? so as a rule of thumb, if we compare, if we look at the - if we compare, if we look at the global average of earthquakes recorded in the past. most will have a one unit of magnitude less after—shock than the main shock. this time 7.8, we should have expected the largest after—shock to

be 6.8. wish there was 11 minutes after the main shock this morning. but not all earthquakes conform to this, globalaverage but not all earthquakes conform to this, global average unfortunately. some surprise us, behave differently. it is something we can never completely predict what is going to happen next. we help in the coming days and weeks the rate of large after—shocks will decline, but can never be truly sure. tt is large after-shocks will decline, but can never be truly sure.— can never be truly sure. it is an inexact science, _ can never be truly sure. it is an inexact science, difficult - can never be truly sure. it is an inexact science, difficult to - inexact science, difficult to measure these things. and it is also difficult, apart from some kind of early warning system, to guard against these things as well, when they hit. against these things as well, when the hit. ~ ,,., y against these things as well, when the hit. ~ , , , they hit. absolutely. some countries around the world _ they hit. absolutely. some countries around the world such _ they hit. absolutely. some countries around the world such as _ they hit. absolutely. some countries around the world such as california, | around the world such as california, japan, mexico, they have earthquake early warning system which will record the first seismic wave from the earthquake that travels fast,

of who needs who needs they'd rather be getting on with the work than dealing with the chaos caused by organised criminals. these people will likely be dressed just like i am in all—orange protective wear. they'll likely be in vehicles that won't look too dissimilar to real vehicles on the network. it is not normal common practice for nexus to be handling large volumes of cable in public areas, or areas that are just off main lit areas. the cable being targeted is heavy and contains high value metal. and the thefts have been carried out on an industrial scale. in the latest attacks, they've stolen enough cable to stretch between two metro stops. it's the roughly 1300—1400 metres

worth of cable just in this area alone between watergate and wallsend, completely gone. and that's not the extent of it. it's staggering volumes. yeah, £1,000 reward has been offered to find those responsible. jonathan swindler, bbc look north. they called it the black summer — the period during 2019 and 2020 when a series of huge bushfires swept across large parts of australia. millions of hectares of land were destroyed — and more than thirty people died. an unknown number of animals also lost their lives. now — conservationists are trying to boost wildlife numbers — as the bbc�*s tim allman explains.

they are one of australia's most iconic symbols. the koala is beloved, but it is also in serious danger. here, at a wildlife centre on the slightly inappropriately named kangaroo island, they are trying to do something about that, although finding and looking after these animals is easier said than done. it can be used, transfusion sets, a long net. we usually have two cages on here. we put that on the road. the bushfires of late 2019 and early 2020 were truly devastating. koalas were already listed as a vulnerable species before they began, but the situation was made dramatically worse. by one estimate, 5,000 of them were lost, and now there may only be 50,000 of them left in the wild. this facility looks after injured koalas, providing veterinary care, bringing them back to full health. see how sharp these are? some will then be returned to the mainland and moved to other parts of the country. slowly, hopefully, animal numbers will start to rise, and maybe the koala will continue to be a symbol of australia for generations to come. tim allman, bbc news.

now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. through the afternoon across england and wales, there's going to be lots and lots of sunshine around. so skies like these, pretty typical through the day. we did have some low cloud of mist to start the day in wales. that's all cleared out of the way. still a few fog banks, though, around the thames estuary and across the north west of the uk. we do have some thicker cloud here, bringing a few spots of drizzle into the western isles for shetland as well. for the most part though, temperatures are above average 8 to 10 degrees celsius. the higher temperatures where it's cloudier now overnight tonight with the clear skies across england and wales, it's going to be another cold night. lowest temperatures getting down to about minus six degrees celsius in the countryside. but i think we could see some dense and pretty widespread fog, particularly across east anglia and south east england. so there may well be some disruption here as we start off tuesday morning. the fog elsewhere is likely to be rather more patchy in nature.

across the northwest we've got a very weak weather front, this stripe of cloud through tuesday moving its way southwards. that could bring an odd bit of drizzle to scotland, northern ireland and into parts of northern england come the afternoon. the temperatures well around 6 to 8 degrees across parts of england and wales, further northwards still mild, ten or 11 into scotland. now for wednesday, we're starting to get some stronger winds. so i think there'll probably less in the way of mist and fog around. and again, many areas will have some bright weather with some sunshine, a better chance of seeing some breaks in a cloud across eastern areas of scotland i think through the day. but it will get very windy across north western areas and particularly as we go through wednesday night when we could see gusts reaching around 75 miles an hour into northwest scotland and that could well bring some localised disruption. the strongest winds are working in ahead of this cold front

and by thursday that cold front has passed through scotland and following is much cooler air. so in scotland we are looking at some showers on thursday there will be falling as snow above 400 metres elevation. so over the higher ground into orkney and shetland you'll probably see some sleet even coming down to low levels and temperatures otherwise around seven or eight degrees celsius, which is quite close to average for this time of the year. beyond that as well, the cold weather doesn't last long in scotland, back into mild conditions in lerwick on friday, but with that milder air comes some rain.

this is bbc news. the headlines: over 1,900 nine—hundred people have been killed by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in turkey and syria. president erdogan said they expect the death toll to rise. translation: we do not know how far the number of dead _ and injured will rise, as debris removal works continue in many buildings in the earthquake zone. our hope is that we will recover from this disaster with the least loss of life. the first earthquake happened near the border with syria, and was followed by a second powerful tremor. rescuers are scrambling to reach those trapped under rubble, as hundreds of buildings have collapsed. this is the scene live in idlib in the north west of syria.
