this is bbc news with the latest headlines. the death toll in turkey rises above 5,000 after two major earthquakes — another quake struck early this morning as a huge rescue effort continues across turkey and syria. energy giant bp announces record profits of £23 billion — more than double that of the previous year. new figures seen by the bbc suggest some of the uk's most vulnerable households haven't claimed up to 50 million pounds of government energy support funding with up to 50 million pounds of energy support going unclaimed — have you been expecting to get some support, but haven't? are you unclear about the kind of support that you're eligible for?

get in touch with me on twitter @annitabbc #bbcyour questions the prime minister's expected to announce a cabinet reshuffle later this morning, as he replaces conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi. a third earthquake hit central turkey early this morning, as the rescue operation continues across the region to try to find survivors of the two massive quakes which struck yesterday. in the last few minutes, we've learned that now more than 5,000 people are known to have died in turkey and in northern syria, with that number rising all the time.

these are the scenes live in hatay in southern turkey. many images that we've seen of the quake since yesterday morning have come from the city. you can see on the left of the screen how those buildings have been pancaked, flattened by the two huge tremors, really the 7.8 quake we heard about which struck just really the 7.8 quake we heard about which struckjust before dawn yesterday. and then a few hours later another quake of around 7.5 magnitude, another massive quake, hampering the rescue efforts along with the freezing conditions in the

region as well. as i mention, those freezing conditions really making things difficult for the rescuers, but a huge international aid effort all this —— on its way to the region, to turkey and syria. syria across the border has been badly affected as efforts continue to free people trapped in the rubble of collapsed buildings there. this video, filmed by the white helmets rescue group, which operates in rebel held north—west syria, shows a family, including a small child, trapped on the third floor of their partially collapsed apartment block. the rescue teams were able to use ladders to reach them and bring them to safety. it happens in the early hours of this morning, almost 20 hours of this morning, almost 20 hours after the first week. —— first

earthquake. 0ur correspondent azadeh moshiri reports on the overnight rescue operations. it's a race to save lives that includes the smallest ones. syria's voluntary civil defence group, the white helmets, pulled ahmed out to safety. they say his family's home north of aleppo has been completely destroyed by the earthquake. syria was already torn apart by war. it is home to millions of refugees. the white helmets say ahmed is one of them. millions of people are reeling across the region from the horrors they've witnessed. translation: my wife is still. in there, my wife is still in there. one should never give up on hope, but most probably she died. the first 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit near the turkish city of gaziantep in the early hours of the morning. a second 7.5 quake then hit further

north in the afternoon. millions of people across turkey, syria, lebanon, cyprus and israel, felt them. now survivors are relying on emergency services to find them. but also on help from their neighbours, friends, and even strangers. this man tied a string to a water bottle and lowered it into the rubble for the survivors trapped beneath. translation: we have received several offers of international - aid for our country. offers of assistance from 45 countries, including nato and the european union, have reached us. emergency service teams have been deployed from around the world. they are now on the ground searching for bodies and offering food and shelter. and that help is essential. many are still missing. this young girl asks,

"where is my mum?" some who have survived, now find themselves homeless. these bonfires are what keep them warm during a biting winter. translation: we'll be | cold here until morning, freezing, getting wet. we've got no place to go, no place to stay. my god, we don't even have a bed. as the search for survivors continues, rescue teams have another task at hand — counting the dead in one of the biggest earthquakes to hit the region in decades. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. offers of help are coming in from around the world, including many charities and voluntary organisations. 0ne uk team — react disaster response — headed out this morning. team leader paul taylor told us what they were expecting.

the key for us is going to be getting into turkey, and in my experience, the aftermath of these events is very much the realm of uncertainty. we can make some assumptions about what people might need, and certainly as was expressed in your report, the focus now is on the search and rescue efforts, but as was well orchestrated, people who, orfixed, essentially, because they cannot go back to their homes because of the aftershocks or the secondary hazard of another big earthquake, and they have no shelter. we will be focused on an assessment and trying to cut what are the needs of the affected population and attempting to provide them with those managerial needs. principally, this point because of the weather conditions, that would be shelter. we are not taking anything out with those, what we are day as it's all about collaboration and team effort, we are working with and team effort, we are working with a small ngo from france who are

bringing in tents and blankets and sleeping bags and our plan is to rendezvous with them on wednesday, having ascertained to those most in need and then we will start the distribution efforts. 0nce need and then we will start the distribution efforts. once we have people on the ground, we will then fly and more emergency shelter from france. the biggest challenge, i think, which is kind of been the current team, through what had been hearing this morning, is the risk of secondary hazards, and my experience, once that tectonic activity starts it takes a good while until it settles down. in the blog elizabeth did responding to the earthquake on 24th of april —— in the poll. 0n the 12th of may six weeks later there was another significant magnitude. i imagine they can expect this to go on for weeks, if not the month. that is going to be the rescue efforts and for the local population, every time they kind of galvanise themselves to go back to their houses, there is another aftershock, so people become

fixed in what becomes camps of internally displaced persons. they will need shelter, water, some they will need shelter, water, some they will need shelter, water, some they will need food, and the people who are being rescued will need medical support. rishi sunak is expected to announce a reshuffle of his ministerial team this in the coming hours. the prime minister will be seeking to fill the party chair role left vacant when nadhim zahawi was sacked after revelations about his tax affairs. there are also reports he could re—organise some government departments. let's talk to our chief political correspondent nick eardley.

what can we expect from today? yeah, that “ob in what can we expect from today? yeah, that job in cabinet _ what can we expect from today? yeah, that job in cabinet vacated _ what can we expect from today? yeah, that job in cabinet vacated by - thatjob in cabinet vacated by nadhim zahawi will be filled in the next couple of hours, no confirmation yet from number ten about who's going to get it, but i've been chatting to a lot of people over the last 21l hours and the favourite is greg hands, a trade minister at the moment, the man most likely to get that job minister at the moment, the man most likely to get thatjob and it is announced. a lot of activity here this morning, but we are not seeing anyone of cabinet level coming in just yet, because the cabinet meeting that was supposed to be this morning has now been postponed until this afternoon, presumably to get all these jobs out of the way first. there is going to be a pretty big reorganisation of whitehall and how government departments work, so the prime minister is going to create a new energy department, taking that out of the business department, creating a stand—alone energy

department. there was one of those until 2016, department. there was one of those until2016, but department. there was one of those until 2016, but the thinking that rishi sunak is going to explain later is that he thinks energy security is a big priority, so he wants to bring that department back. it's going to be another new department as well, focusing on science, technology and innovation. a bit of a shake—up of how rishi sunak thinks government should work, there will be some new faces in government this afternoon as well. but as of 9:10, no confirmation of those names to ship.— those names to ship. reshuffles ha en those names to ship. reshuffles happen whether _ those names to ship. reshuffles happen whether there _ those names to ship. reshuffles happen whether there are - those names to ship. reshuffles happen whether there are many| those names to ship. reshuffles l happen whether there are many or major reshuffles, happening on different sort of circumstances. tells about the context for this one and why this is happening? what extent does it suggest rishi sunak is taking control? some may see it as a prime minister under pressure.

i think it is both. in some ways, this is rishi sunakfollowing through on promises he made in the summer when he said he wanted to create that new energy department, he is seeing that through this afternoon, just a few months into the job. afternoon, just a few months into thejob. at afternoon, just a few months into the job. at the afternoon, just a few months into thejob. at the backdrop afternoon, just a few months into the job. at the backdrop to this is a pretty torrid few weeks, actually, for the man who lives in number ten. the sacking of nadhim zahawi after ten days of pressure on his tax affairs, questions about whether he declared things properly, that led to his sacking. in that sense, the first steps of the mini reshuffle are being forced upon him. one thing i don't think will change today is dominic raab's position, a lot of questions about his future, facing the pillion probe, denies the allegations have been made about him, but that investigation is ongoing —— facing the bullying probe. my understanding is the pm wants to wait and see what this investigation from a senior lawyer

comes up with before making a decision on dominic raab's future, but certainly the fact you need a new tory chairman is because of bad news from rishi sunak rather than everything else. the headlines on bbc news... another quake strikes this morning as a huge rescue effort continues and the death toll in turkey and syria rises above five thousand. energy giant bp announces record profits of £23 billion — more than double that of the previous year. the prime minister's expected to announce a cabinet this reshuffle later this morning, as he replaces conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi.

let's return to the earthquakes in turkey. pm let's return to the earthquakes in turke . �* ., ., ., ,. turkey. an international rescue effort under — turkey. an international rescue effort under way. _ 0ur europe correspondent jessica parkerjoins us from brussels now to talk about the co—ordinated aid response from the eu. what can you tell us about the coordinated aid response from the eu? , _ coordinated aid response from the eu? , e, a, eu? yesterday the eu triggered what is known as its _ eu? yesterday the eu triggered what is known as its civil _ eu? yesterday the eu triggered what is known as its civil protection - is known as its civil protection mechanism at the request of turkey. and what that means as member states clubbed together and participate, european countries who are also part of this, they look at what support they can provide on the ground. turkey has made that request, not syria, but now there are, i'm told, teams, search and rescue teams, over 1000 workers heading towards turkey, search and rescue dogs as well. so those resources, heading in that direction, untilsome

those resources, heading in that direction, until some are beginning to arrive but of course, in these areas, it's very difficult to reach. but trying to show that it is sending support to turkey. the situation in syria rather more complex, has not been a request for help there, and on the ground already a very complicated situation, so what i'm told is that you use trying to channel support through its existing presence of humanitarian aid in the region. beyond this initial response, what might any help look like from the eu? ., ., , ., eu? one of the other elements of hel that eu? one of the other elements of help that they _ eu? one of the other elements of help that they are _ eu? one of the other elements of help that they are providing, - eu? one of the other elements of| help that they are providing, which is interesting, is through their copernicus satellite system, for turkey, what they're doing is using the satellite system to provide high quality images, i'm told, of what is happening on the ground, which is hoped will be quite helpful, critically in those areas where the

picture is not particularly clear at the moment in terms of what has happened. so they are using that satellite system to help inform the authorities, and of course, there's been talk about the need for heavy lifting equipment and asking the eu what they might be doing in that regard, but what they're saying at the is they have had a number of member states, the latest was around 19, pledging support, heading to turkey, but i think is the situation unfolds, maybe there will be more support emerging because of the very tragic scenes we are seeing in that area. the energy giant bp has reported record profits for last year, this driven by surging oil and gas prices because of the war in ukraine. bp made 23 billion pounds in 2022, more than double the total in the previous year. i'm joined now by our business correspondent nina i'm joined now by alfie stirling, director of research and chief economist at the new economics foundation.

thank you for your time. no surprises — thank you for your time. no surprises that the profits are up, we saw record profits for shell announced last week. your thoughts on how these kind of profits ought to be divided up. clearly businesses make money for their shareholders, but clearly there are questions, equally, about how people should be helped through this cost of living crisis. . �* , �* , helped through this cost of living crisis. ., �* , �* , ., crisis. that's right, it's worth ste -|n~ crisis. that's right, it's worth stepping back- _ crisis. that's right, it's worth stepping back. there - crisis. that's right, it's worth stepping back. there are - crisis. that's right, it's worth stepping back. there are a l crisis. that's right, it's worth l stepping back. there are a few things that perfectly exemplify a failed economic and institutional setup, sitting in the midst of a cost of living crisis, in the midst of the catastrophic global warming crisis as well, and at the same time oil and gas companies reporting record profits affecting the monopoly power, war and destruction. you could not make up something

which was more perfectly captured as a dysfunctional arrangement, so i think it is right that more of those profits should be captured and brought back for the public goods and the shooting to help people in the short term, particularly in terms of the cost of living crisis, but also in terms of trying to re—pivot our energy system towards more cleaner energy, a fairer system, greater energy efficiency. do you see any difference between shell and bp, for example? do you see any difference between shelland bp, for example? bp do you see any difference between shell and bp, for example? bp saying £23 billion in profits, it's going to spend 6.6 billion of the an energy transition, up to 2030, the same amount still in oil and gas. do you see any differences between the approach of bp and shell?— approach of bp and shell? probably not, approach of bp and shell? probably not. there's — approach of bp and shell? probably not, there's too _ approach of bp and shell? probably not, there's too much _ approach of bp and shell? probably not, there's too much focus - approach of bp and shell? probably not, there's too much focus on - not, there's too much focus on individual companies, think a big

problem as it is good when fossil fuelled giants are investing in transition, but the problem is when you have large one of, it is very hard for that to be captured in proper new effective investment not because it takes time, this locked—in over decades, and it's hard for the companies to invest, unlikely to flow in that direction much more likely to flow back to shareholders, orthrough much more likely to flow back to shareholders, or through dividends, and i would just add in particular the problem with the way taxing these companies is that there is a relief in the windfall tax, gives 91p back in touch with every £1 spent, and that is an effective lipo which i know ki is a big dead weight

loss because much of the investments happening and we it will also reduce significantly the amount of revenues that could be captured by the windfall tax. i'm joined now by our business correspondent nina warhurst in salford. just put all this and a bit more context for us. explain to what extent this might put more pressure on the government or will it put more pressure on the government to introduce more taxes in order to help people with the cost of living crisis? by might good morning. when you look at the numbers, profits of 23,000,000,020 22, more than double the amount before they before that, i want numbers and the doubling is over the same pa. the i want numbers and the doubling is over the same pa.— over the same pa. the average household _ over the same pa. the average household has _ over the same pa. the average household has doubled - over the same pa. the average household has doubled their. over the same pa. the average - household has doubled their energy bills, and that's when you incorporate energy, government support into that. that contrast between how much they're making and

how much more we are paying seems to many people unfair. huge caveats within that, she heard from your guests there, these are global profits, not all of that money is taxable in the uk. 0n profits, not all of that money is taxable in the uk. on top of that, big energy firms need to make money, they need to reinvest and be profitable for pension schemes, for example, and in orderto profitable for pension schemes, for example, and in order to invest in green energy. but still questions around fairness labour this morning, saying the system of a windfall tax, an extra levy that the government is imposing on energy companies for this unprotected extraordinary profit they're making, they say the system is not working, that more should be generated from that revenue should bp estimate for 2022, 670 8 million or so will be put towards the windfall tax, but that makes up less than 3% of their overall global profits and shell last week announced their biggest profits in an hundred and 15 year history, 32 billion, and just 111

paid in windfall taxes. the tuc has said this morning this will make hard pressed families feel like cash machines, leprosy proper one for system needs to be reintroduced, and we are talking every week at the bbc to families who are literally having to families who are literally having to sit this winter out in the dark, in the cold, because they cannot afford to pay their energy bills, and there are these caveats that global companies pay global taxes instead of in the uk, but still, it does not sit easily with those at home watching this morning and thinking they are doubling their profits as i am doubling my energy bills. and stay with us on the energy story because the bbc has new figures that suggest some of the uk's most vulnerable households have failed to claim up to 50 million pounds of government money to help with their energy bills. we'll have more on that after 9.30. let mejust read let me just read you a tweet...

chris dickson says i was turned down for the warmer homes scheme for the first time in years the share because when the government took over, i presume he means the latest team at number ten, they added an energy efficiency rating criteria too and it stopped me getting it. i'm in private rented housing and have no control, so that's what chris is saying, if you have any other comments on this story, to think you are eligible for extra help with your energy bills but have not received any or not sure about how to actually go about checking whether you are eligible, to get in touch, you can do that on twitter and use the hashtag bbc your questions. detectives investigating the disappearance of nicola bulley are focusing their efforts on a river path as they continue the search. the 45—year—old was last seen walking her dog in st michael's on wyre in lancashire 11 days ago. a team of specialist divers are searching the river, as our correspondent danny savage reports.

yesterday morning, a new search team joined the hunt for nicola bulley — a team who had been contacted by her family to see if they could help. they are using an advanced sonar system which can map the riverbed. if the tragic truth is that nicola bulley is in the river, they are confident of success. i do believe she's in it, from the evidence we've got at the moment. i mean, everything is pointing to the river at the moment. and there's no — there doesn't seem to be a third party involved. this is the stretch of river where she went missing. it's twisty, murky and in places quite deep. it's not an easy stretch of water to check and be sure they haven't missed something. her friends and family are grateful for everything being done here. at the moment, we just need a picture to start to form. i mean, peter's knowledge and expertise in this area,

we're just really hoping that he will shed some light on whether he thinks she is in the river, or not. the circumstances surrounding nicky bulley�*s disappearance are barely believable. she vanished in a short window of time when she was out of sight of others. the hope is that this new phase of searching will give some answers to herfamily. danny savage, bbc news st michael's on wyre. 0ur correspondent dave guest is at the scene now. so many people absolutely baffled by this case, by this investigation. what more can you tell us this morning?— what more can you tell us this morninu? ., , ., . , ., ., morning? that search is going to get under way again. _ morning? that search is going to get under way again, moving _ morning? that search is going to get under way again, moving into - morning? that search is going to get under way again, moving into day . morning? that search is going to get under way again, moving into day “l under way again, moving into day 11 now, and ahead of that private search team, using that sonar equipment that danny savage was talking about, we were talking to him earlier, he says in 25 years in this business, this is one of the most baffling cases he has come across. he said the police searched

the immediate area of that bench, the immediate area of that bench, the bench were her phone was found, still connected to a work call the dog near to the bench. he said the search that area which is where you would expect if she had fallen and she would have been there on that first day. they found nothing. his team, using their advanced equipment, which can apparently pick up equipment, which can apparently pick up everything from sticks and stones on the riverbed, they have searched an area of the river race then come up an area of the river race then come up with nothing. he believes today could be a crunch point to either find something or perhaps even say categorically she is not in there. he has said he is confident his equipment means if nicola is in the river than they will find her. if she is not, that opens up a whole load of other questions, but the heart of this, her partner paul and two little girls who are desperate for some concrete news about what has happened to her. she setup, drop the children at school on the friday morning, went for a walk with the dog and disappeared within that ten minute window, no one has seen her since.

ten minute window, no one has seen hersince. police ten minute window, no one has seen her since. police are asking for —— cam footage, anyone who may be passing on the main road here despite me who was out on friday 27th of january, anyone who may have seen her after about 9:20 on that friday morning. in the meantime, they wait for news continues for nicola bulley�*s family. we return to our coverage of the massive earthquakes in turkey yesterday morning in the early hours when most people were asleep. a third earthquake, we are told, has been reported in the early hours of this morning. huge rescue effort going on across the region in turkey and northern syria. i'm nowjoined by our middle east correspondent anna foster who is in turkoglu close to the epicentre. tell us exactly where you are. i

have been trying to travel closer to the epicentre, i started moving towards the city this morning over the mountains, and one of the problems we discovered as it is enormously difficult to actually get to the epicentre, because roads through the mountains, the main highway has been closed. it stands on pillars, is raised of the ground, and they are concerned are structurally unsafe, so all of the rescue teams i'm surrounded by, the turkish red crescent, military units there, police, ambulances, everything you could need, and all of it is stuck in a huge trafficjam on the way through the mountains, because at the same time as they are trying to pull in, people are trying to leave this area. you can see the devastation increases as you get closer and closer to the epicentre. i would say at least 50% of the buildings of the city i went through this morning, if they had not collapsed already, they clearly were

structurally unsafe. you can see releasing through one side or the pillars that hold them up where bent or twisted. there was still rescue operations going on there, no mobile phone signal, you can see people trying to get things like fuel and water and many of them trying to leave. i'm on a highway now, and even the roads are twisted and broken, large cracks that have opened up in some places. that is adding to the traffic problems. basically, people who want to leave here at the moment, it is proving extremely difficult. we here at the moment, it is proving extremely difficult.— here at the moment, it is proving extremely difficult. we can see the clear blue skies _ extremely difficult. we can see the clear blue skies behind _ extremely difficult. we can see the clear blue skies behind you. - extremely difficult. we can see the clear blue skies behind you. at - extremely difficult. we can see thej clear blue skies behind you. at this time of year, that means freezing temperatures overnight. that clearly is making things very difficult, both for anyone who might have survived and still be trapped, and for the rescue effort as well.

you're right, the weather has been a real problem. it is bitterly cold. the reason i'm sitting in the car to talk to you, you can probably see by the way my hair is moving, it's extraordinarily one day. they had snowstorms at the start of the week and last night there was freezing rain through much of the night. if you think of these rescuers, who in many cases are standing on top of these unstable, unsteady piles of rubble, often big sheets of masonry at an angle, if you think that the rain is pouring down, it makes it incredibly difficult for them to do theirjob, stand up, let alone try and take down and find survivors and bodies. they are finding many bodies under the wreckage as well. so, you're right, the weather conditions are making things even more difficult, notjust for the rescuers, before the people who may well still be trapped under there, and purely for the number of collapsed buildings that i have seen, it is impossible, i would say,

the stage, to really calculate the extent of this, when you see all the apartment blocks like i did yesterday that had 12 stories, completely collapse, risk is there might have been perhaps 100 people in there, to the hotel owner i was talking to in the early hours as of this morning on the pitch dark it was telling me he thought there were 14 was telling me he thought there were 11l people in his hotel. seven of them he said had already died and in fact where we were there they brought out an eighth body. he was desperately hoping that people had survived, but it feels like the conditions at the moment are just making that even more... difficult. foster, our middle east correspondent, trying to make a way through gaziantep province, describing the difficult conditions many collapsed buildings she has seen along the way. and we will continue to keep you right up to

date with the rescue efforts across turkey and northern syria after those two massive earthquakes yesterday, another earthquake in the early hours of this morning local time adding to the problems. right now, it is 9:32, let's take a look at the weather forecast, carol has the details. we do have some mist and fog still with us this morning across parts of east anglia, south—east england and the southwest. some of it will be very slow to clear, lasting into the afternoon. if you are in an area where it lingers, it will hold the temperature down. but when it does lift, a lot of sunshine. the weather front slipping into southern scotland, northern england, northern ireland, high cloud with brighter skies behind. top temperatures today getting up to 7—11 degrees. through this evening and overnight, the temperature will fall away rapidly

across parts of england and wales, mist and fog patches developing quite widely, a widespread frost, and under clear skies across the north east of scotland, some frost first thing in the morning. these are overnight lows. tomorrow the mist and fog will be slow to lift, but when it does, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, but heavy rain across the north—west of scotland, accompanied by squally winds. the met office has a yellow warning out, suggesting ghosts could get up to 75 mph, which could lead to some disruption. temperature is a little bit cooler tomorrow. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: another quake strikes this morning as a huge rescue effort continues and the death toll in turkey and syria rises above 5,000. energy giant bp announces record profits of £23 billion,

more than double that of the previous year. the prime minister is to announce a cabinet reshuffle later this morning, as he replaces conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn. a lot asking this morning, what now for manchester city after the club was charged with more than 100 breaches of financial rules. an independent commission will preside over the allegations, which city say they are surprised by and will contest with a body of irrefutable evidence. dan roan reports. they are the dominant force in english football, but manchester city find themselves embroiled in one of the biggest scandals the game has seen. the six times and reigning premier league champions face the

threat of expulsion from the top flight after being charged with more than 100 breaches of financial rules relating to every full season since the abu dhabi takeover that transformed it into the richest club in the world in 2008. the club is accused of not providing full details of player remuneration over six seasons and failing to co—operate with a four year investigation. city are also accused of not providing details of former manager roberto mancini's pay over the four seasons he was at the club. three years ago they were thrown out of the champions league for breaking financialfair play of the champions league for breaking financial fair play rules, the club accused of over inflating state linked sponsorship rules, but its lawyers successfully appealed. the lawyers successfully appealed. tie: independent commission that lawyers successfully appealed. til independent commission that will be appointed to deal with this has a huge swathes of potential sanctions available to it, ranging from fines

at one end of the spectrum, all the way through to, i suppose, points deductions, even retrospective points deductions, and potentially, i suppose, expulsion from the premier league itself. last year, pep guardioia — premier league itself. last year, pep guardiola defended - premier league itself. last year, pep guardiola defended the - premier league itself. last year, pep guardiola defended the club| premier league itself. last year, . pep guardiola defended the club but warned he would resign if allegations of financial rule breaking were ever proven. city, who have always denied any wrongdoing, said in a statement they were surprised by the charges and have the support of a body of irrefutable evidence. they said they were looking forward to putting the matter to rest once and for all, but there is no doubt the club's reputation is now on the line. aiming for a fifth premier league crown in six seasons, the title defences faltering, losing again this weekend, and the legal battle they now face in the weeks and months ahead could have huge repercussions for the club and the game. you can see how desperate clubs are to remain in the premier league at the moment, leeds united are the latest, on the hunt for a new

manager after sacking jesse marsch, and the club are currently without a league win in seven matches, just outside the relegation places on goal difference. he had only been at elland road for less than a year. the club have a big game to come against manchester united tomorrow night. justin rose has ended his four year wait for a win at pebble beach. he made five birdies and an eagle in his final round as he claimed his 11th career pga title. it means he will now take part in the masters in april and can be optimistic about his chances of getting a spot in the ryder cup team later in the year.— later in the year. time flies by, doesnt later in the year. time flies by, doesn't it? _ later in the year. time flies by, doesn't it? it _ later in the year. time flies by, doesn't it? it is _ later in the year. time flies by, doesn't it? it is amazing - later in the year. time flies by, doesn't it? it is amazing how. later in the year. time flies by, i doesn't it? it is amazing how long it has been, i saw that come up on the golf channel when i was eating my breakfast, how many mist cards, not great reading, but it is amazing how time does fly, and it is a moment to say thanks to the people who have believed in me more than i

do, my team have been incredible. and australian t20 captain aaron finch has retired after 12 years in the national side. the 36—year—old retired from one—day internationals in september and steps away from t20 internationals after 103 matches. he said it was an incredible honour to represent australia for 12 years and play with and against some of the greatest players of all time. and thatis greatest players of all time. and that is all from me, back to you. before we go to our next story i think we can show you some pictures from gaziantep, where rescue efforts are continuing after those two huge earthquakes yesterday, 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude. another earthquake in the early hours of this morning. but local teams there in huge numbers,

as well as a big, big, big international relief effort either already in the country or on its way to turkey to try to help. the situation in northern syria, also affected by these earthquakes, isn't quite as clear. a little bit more tricky to get the details because of the political and security situation there. but these are scenes that are being repeated around cities in turkey, buildings flattened, pancaked by the scale of those earthquakes. but people have been found alive, and they hope very much still is that more people will be recovered from some of these collapsed buildings. sadly, though, the death toll is rising all the time. we arejust hearing, i was mentioning a second ago, it was more

difficult to get a clearer picture in syria compared to turkey, and we are hearing that the flow of critical united nations aid from turkey to north—west syria has temporarily halted due to damaged roads and other logistical issues. that is according to a un spokesperson who said some roads are broken, some are inaccessible, there are logistical issues that need to be worked through. that was a spokesperson for the un office for the coordination of humanitarian assistance. we don't have a clear picture of when it will resume, said the spokesperson. so the logistics of getting to some of these remote areas can be tricky, add to that the weather, the earthquakes, a really difficult set of circumstances for these rescuers to work in, but no doubt they will

continue to do the utmost to find anyone who is still alive. new figures suggest that some of the uk's most vulnerable households have failed to claim up to £50 million of government money to help with their energy bills. according to data seen exclusively by the bbc, more than 750,000 vouchers for pre—payment meters were not redeemed during october and november. 0ur cost of living correspondent colletta smith explains. extra money for each household's energy bills. that was the promise. if you pay by direct debit in britain, it's been £66 a month knocked off the bills or credited to your account. but the two million households with a physical pre—payment meter have been sent vouchers in the post or by email each month that then need to be taken to a local shop to be credited onto the meter. figures seen by the bbc from paypoint and the post office

show that 81% of vouchers for october and november were cashed before they expired, which leaves more than 750,000 uncashed vouchers for october and november before the expiry date passed this weekend. but it's not too late. if you haven't received your voucher or haven't cashed it in time, then contact your energy supplier and ask for it to be reissued. citizens advice say that their data shows the main reason for people not cashing an energy voucher is simply that it hasn't arrived and energy firms need to do more. there are some people who have been told to check their email to see if it's in there and unfortunately they're not online, they don't use an email account regularly, so they can't use that method. and there seem to be many people where their address data is incorrect, so itjust hasn't landed on their doorstep. what we would like to see

is that the energy firms make it really easy for people to contact them, to ask them to re—issue the voucher, so people can use it to stay on supply. energy companies are already in hot water for the way they treat pre—payment customers, and now it seems some of the most vulnerable are out of pocket at a time they need it most. since the weather has turned colder, we have seen a kind of increase in the number of people taking the vouchers and obviously more quickly. so obviously this help is really, really needed by a lot of people across the country and obviously we can assume that they're very, very keen to redeem it as soon as they get their hands on it. let mejust bring let me just bring you another comment on that story, we were asking whether you have received any help with your energy bills, are you not clear on whether you are

eligible or not — this tweet is from one viewer, they are saying that since the dwp took over the warm homes discount this year, many sick and disabled people have not been able to get the £150 they have been getting four years because our home is apparently too small and efficient. that chimes with the previous tweet that i read out from someone who had been getting a warm homes discount for years, but this time, for the first time, has been turned down. so we will definitely look into and explore that, but do keep your tweets coming on that story, you can do that on any of the stories that we are covering today. the energy giant bp has reported record profits for last year, driven by surging oil and gas prices

because of the war in ukraine. bp made £23 billion in 2022, more than double the total in the previous year. let's go live now to stroud in gloucestershire and speak to alice harrison, fossil fuels campaign leader at campaigns organisation global witness. no surprise, these figures. what would you like to see these profits, or how would you like to see these profits being used or taxed, because you have been, as an organisation, calling for much more taxes on the profits of energy companies? yes. profits of energy companies? yes, thanks, annita _ profits of energy companies? yes, thanks, annita. _ profits of energy companies? yes, thanks, annita. it _ profits of energy companies? yes, thanks, annita. it is _ profits of energy companies? 1l: thanks, annita. it is important to put these figures in context, it is a huge amount of money that works out as over £43,000 in profit per minute, and if you combine it with what shell recorded last week, britain's two energy giants alone making £100,000 every single minute

in 2022, and i think it is really important to acknowledge that oil and gas companies like bp and shell are getting richer because the rest of us are getting poorer, because our energy bills are so high right now and, you know, the knock effect of that, it is huge, as we were hearing, sick and disabled people living in cold and draughty homes. here in the uk, supposedly one of the richest countries in the world, you know, there is complete chaos across the public sector, of course, with nurses, firefighters, teachers all striking because they are struggling too and the government will not give them a pay rise. and this isn't an accident, this is a political choice, so as you have acknowledged, we are calling for companies to be properly taxed, properly and permanently taxed, and we are notjust talking about windfall tax, we are calling for the uk government to match the approach taken in norway, which is to impose

a proper and permanent tax of 78% on oil and gas companies, and estimates suggest that would free up £33.3 billionjust from suggest that would free up £33.3 billion just from that tax alone, thatis billion just from that tax alone, that is not even speaking of scrapping the very generous tax breaks for oil and gas companies in this country, and obviously that would free up money that is desperately needed to give brits long term support for the cost of their energy bills and to give our key work as the financial recognition they deserve. isn’t key work as the financial recognition they deserve. isn't that auoin to recognition they deserve. isn't that going to lead _ recognition they deserve. isn't that going to lead to — recognition they deserve. isn't that going to lead to the _ recognition they deserve. isn't that going to lead to the energy - recognition they deserve. isn't that l going to lead to the energy company saying, we will not invest as much money in renewables, in energy transition? the government has argued, hasn't it, that the reason it is not taxing them more heavily is because it will discourage investment in the uk, and that includes investment in renewables? i'm glad you asked me that, actually, because the reality is that these companies only spend a tiny fraction of their money on

renewables.— tiny fraction of their money on renewables. �* ., ., ,': , ., renewables. bp, of that £23 billion, it is spending _ renewables. bp, of that £23 billion, it is spending 6.6 _ renewables. bp, of that £23 billion, it is spending 6.6 billion _ renewables. bp, of that £23 billion, it is spending 6.6 billion in - renewables. bp, of that £23 billion, it is spending 6.6 billion in energy l it is spending 6.6 billion in energy transition, which is the same amount as it is spending on oil and gas up to 2030. , ., . ., , :, to 2030. the future pro'ections are one thin , to 2030. the future pro'ections are one thing, these h to 2030. the future projections are one thing, these companies - to 2030. the future projections are one thing, these companies always make very grandiose pledges about renewables in the future, but what you need to look at is what they spent last year, so judging from this morning's report, it looks like bp has invested a maximum of 1.8% on last year's profits in renewables, possibly a fair amount less than that, and actually the wall street journal ran a storyjust last week, based on interviews with bp insiders, and apparently the chief executive plans on dialling that back even more, because bp's renewable investments haven't been profitable enough. and that, i think, is a really important insight

into the real motives of bp — if it doesn't make them enough money, they will not transition to renewables. you know, and i think there is a bigger point here to be made about the whole oil and gas sector in the uk context, which is that, of all the companies that are currently operating in our north sea, obviously our biggest oil and gas reserve, three quarters of those companies invest nothing in renewables in this country. and of the ones that are investing in renewables, a large number of those are using that renewable energy to power their oil and gas platforms. they are not putting renewable energy into the grid. so these are not green, climate friendly companies. fossilfuels are not green, climate friendly companies. fossil fuels are the single biggest cause of climate breakdown, and these companies are peddling very much in the opposite direction... you peddling very much in the opposite direction... :, :, peddling very much in the opposite direction- - -— direction... you mentioned the norway example, _ direction... you mentioned the norway example, but - direction... you mentioned the norway example, but do - direction... you mentioned the norway example, but do you . direction... you mentioned the i norway example, but do you think

here that the idea of a permanent tax is realistic? would it not be more realistic for organisations like yourselves to focus on those windfall taxes, where circumstances we are seeing here, where the energy companies have made huge profits because of circumstances that are clearly entirely unrelated to them in the sense that this is down to the war in ukraine and the impact that has had on energy prices, that is why they're called windfall taxes after all, so is not really where the focus should be, do you think? well, so i think, you know, it is important to recognise oil and gas prices might not be high for ever, but we are in for a rough ride for the next few years at least. it has been predicted energy bills may drop a little bit next year, but maybe only buy and government support is set to drop off from april, and families are going to be feeling the

impact of the cost of living crisis for years to come, so, yes, it is a windfall tax that is imposed when the price of oil and gas is very high, and we desperately need to claim that money back for oil and gas companies at the moment, but the long term solution isn't windfall taxes anyway, the bigger point here is the fossil fuel economies are inherently volatile and, you know, obviously incredibly polluting as well, so the long term solution to the mess we're in right now, which is caused by our addiction to fossil fuels, is to move away from them and on to renewables, which are cheaper, cleaner, and much more accessible, so that, you know... sorry. we must leave it there, we are out of time, thank you very much.— leave it there, we are out of time, thank you very much. thanks, annita mcveiah!

thousands of nurses in england are taking part in a second consecutive day of strike action today. the government has refused to re—open pay talks with union leaders despite pleas from hospital bosses. the health secretary, steve barclay, said more than 80,000 appointments and 11,000 operations were cancelled as a result of strikes by nurses and ambulance workers yesterday. strike action by postal workers next thursday has been called off following a legal challenge by royal mail. staff staged several strikes at the end of last year, but the communication workers union said it had been advised against fighting the case. royal mail said the cancelled strikes would mean "relief" for customers. the labour party is urging the uk government to boost military production to sustain its support not only for the country's war effort against russia, but to ensure the uk has the miltary resources it needs. last month, the prime minister confirmed that britain would be sending tanks to support ukraine in the war against russia, which has now been going on for nearly a year. the shadow defence secretary, john healey, explained alongside the 14 tanks that the government sent to ukraine,

which has our full support as a labour party, we sent 30 big artillery guns. that's a third of all of these guns that we've got in the british army, and we've sent those guns, but there is no order in place to replace them, and there's not even the funding needed fully in place for the systems we need to replace them. so my argument today is that we've got to reboot defence plans, like 25 other countries have done since the ukraine invasion, and we've got to boost production of the essential equipment, so we can sustain our supplies and our support to ukraine. but we can also rearm and restock the british military to deal with any future conflict. we've backed the £2.3 billion the government's put aside specially for ukraine this year. but the chancellor has already said they know they need to spend more on defence. the defence secretary admitted in the commons to me just last week that they've hollowed out and underfunded the forces over the last 13 years. so that's the first big test.

the second big test, of course, is, it's notjust how much you spend, but how well you spend it, and we've seen over £5 billion of mod waste in the last four years alone. so we need an action plan to deal with better procurement, but we need to boost production so that we can meet the urgent requirements to support ukraine and equip our own forces for the future. are you someone who used to send letters to a famous celebrity when you were younger? maybe you were lucky enough to receive one back. well, that's like david best from herefordshire, who received letters from the lord of the rings authorjrr tolkien when he was a teenager, and now he has had them preserved by the bbc repair shop. 0ur reporterjames bovill went to find out more. on this bookshelf, in this house on the herefordshire

and worcestershire border, something that is straight out of middle—earth. in 1967, a 15—year—old david best spent his nights at home translating the poems of tolkien into the ancient language of runes used by the birmingham author in his the lord of the rings series. as a kid growing up, having come from a rural location, there was not much to do in the evenings, and i suspect, judging by the amount of work that i now see and hear, i must have spent a lot of evenings doing that. keen to know if his work was up to scratch, david sent his work directly to tolkien, but he never expected a reply. this is the first letter i replied on the 12th of may 1967, and he said, "dear mr best, i received your volume of tom bombadil part one in english runes." "i have not yet had time to look at it." but david's childhood correspondence hasn't always looked this good. afterfalling into disrepair, he took them to everyone's favourite tv restoration experts to bring them

back to their former glory. this is where all the sections and all the pages get linked together. this is exactly what david wanted, was the two books bound together as one, the one true book. so what was david's verdict on the repair shop's handiwork? goodness me. that's incredible, chris. gosh. chris, you have done a fabulous job. letters, poems, even a faithful creation of middle—earth itself, a collection brought back to life to treasure for a lifetime. i'm fora i'm for a look at the weather forecast with carol, hi. good morning, some of us will have some lovely sunshine at the moment, a cold start in the south, and we also have some mist and fog patches here, but in the north, cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle, but

it will brighten up as the weather front producing it tends to sink south as a weakening feature, so some sunshine through the afternoon for north—west scotland, still one or two stubborn bits of fog across parts of the south—east, but for most it will lift and there will be sunshine here, crisp winter sunshine with temperatures ranging from 7-11 . with temperatures ranging from 7—11 . through this evening and overnight, you can see how the weather front producing the cloud sinks a little bit further south, but under clear skies, a widespread frost across parts of england, wales, and once again mist and fog developing more widely tonight than last night, and where we have got clear skies, we could also see some frost. that is how we start the day on wednesday, on a chilly note with mist and fog. again, some will be stubborn to clear, but a lot of us will have a dry day with sunshine. in the north—west, an active weather front coming in will bring some heavy rain, and accompanied with it

we will have squally winds, a yellow warning out full cost as much as 75 mph. the temperatures cooling, 7—10 in belfast. as that weather front comes into the south—west, moving southwards, a cold front, temperatures back into the blues, so turning colder. thursday morning, a weather front traits across southern areas, not much more than a band of cloud, the odd spot of rain, dry weather, sunshine and showers, and above 300 metres in the north of scotland it will be falling as snow, mostly on the hills, but later in the day and in some of the heavy showers, we could see some of that at lower levels. three in lerwick, maybe nine in plymouth. as we move into friday, we say goodbye to the

cold air as a warm front comes in from the atlantic, represented by the milder yellows, and as that one front comes in, it will introduce more cloud and also some rain, not particularly heavy rain, except across the far north of scotland. further south, after a cold start, we will see some sunshine, but you will notice temperatures, the highs by then, maybe 12 degrees in aberdeen.
