scramble to free others trapped in the rubble, with some people being heard crying out in pain for help. the uk hasjoined dozens of countries, in promising aid for turkey's gaziantep province, near the epicentre of the quakes. with more, here's richard galpin. almost 36 hours after the huge earthquake struck this region, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble of hundreds of collapsed buildings. this little girl was found in one syrian town. the cries for help from the many people still trapped can also be heard in the rubble—strewn streets of south—eastern turkey.

adding to the difficulty of the rescue operations is the cold weather and winter storms. on top of this, many people have know where to go to for shelter. their homes have been destroyed and fear of more aftershocks is also deterring many from returning to what remains of their houses. the world health organization is appealing for rapid action by the international community. it is now a race against time. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. there are already 5,000 people confirmed dead. the world health organization has enlisted up to 3 million people could potentially be affected

by this disaster, including 5 million vulnerable people. -- 23 —— 23 million people. translation: we are sitting here in the cold and - rain, just waiting for the rescuers to start digging. translation: i slept in the car, helping my children would get out of the building. i had seven children under the rubble —— hoping my children would get out. offers of aid are coming from around the world, including many charities and voluntary organisations. but one veteran british aid worker on his way to help said the dangers have not yet passed. they can expect this to go on for weeks, if not a month. that will be the challenge for the rescue efforts and the local population, every time they galvanise to go back to their houses, there is another aftershock, so people will become fixed in what will become camps of displaced person so they will need shelter, water, food at some point and those

rescued will need medical support. amongst the thousands of buildings which have been destroyed our which have been destroyed are businesses, schools and hospitals, as well as homes. this fire in the turkish port of iskenderun is thought to be another impact of the earthquake. all operations that have come to a halt. aid agencies have reported the devastation is so widespread that it will take time to assess the damage and ascertain the true scale of the help needed. richard galpin, bbc news. our correspondent anna foster has arrived near the epicentre of the quakes, in southern turkey. even to get here is a long and difficult road, we were stopped and gridlocked traffic with search and

rescue teams, things they were trying to desperately get here and when you do arrive you really do get a sense of the destruction and devastation. we are not talking about a single collapsed building. you can see some of the people behind me, these are their homes, they have nowhere to go, they are pulling out some of the furniture and burning it to try and keep warm. rescue workers are on top of these piles of rubble but there is just too much, there are too many collapsed buildings, there is too much for them to try to deal with with the resources they have at the moment. this is wiped out the city and really i can't imagine how long it would take to actually see the full extent of what has happened here. �* ., .,, full extent of what has happened here. �* ., , ,., ., here. anna foster reporting from the scene of the — here. anna foster reporting from the scene of the quake. _ this is the most powerful earthquake to hit turkey in almost a century. the epicentre was here in the south

close to the city of gaziantep, near the border with syria, one of the world's most seismically active regions. that's because turkey sits on the fault line, where three tectonic plates come together. the arabian plate is constantly pushing into the eurasian plate which squeezes this one, the anatolian plate, to the west. it's moving at about 2cm every year. where the plates grind past each other, more fault lines are created, leading to the earthquake we saw yesterday. our middle east correspondent, tom bateman, spoke to us from the city of iskerandumn, in southern turkey. i was just talking to a family who are unable to go to this very badly damaged building here, and told me that they have four friends missing in the building and one confirmed dead, but the big problem for them, this is a grandmother with children

and young grandchildren, she said that there had been no aid at all, apart from a very small private group that was able to bring some red and tomato this morning. we saw a small truck handing outjumpers and trainers —— micro bread and tomato. it was a desperate scene. the other thing to point out about this town is the way it has become a series of disasters on top of each other because not only do we have many collapsed buildings but you can see behind me this huge plume of smoke rising behind the shattered buildings here and on to the taurus mountains over there. this is from a port fire, the fire started in containers. we drove past it, they looked like gas containers, that began as the earthquake struck. a whole series of problems and no apparent delivery of any formal aid here so far, all of this while president erdogan declares a state of emergency in ten provinces, including this one.

tom bateman reporting. let's talk more about some of the humanitarian assistance being provided to people in syria and turkey. jeremy smith is from the british red cross. the first and biggest priority is still search and rescue, we are still search and rescue, we are still in that critical first 48 hours of the response and from the very first moments of this red cross search and rescue volunteers from the community affected have been mobilised and have been responding, searching through the rubble and trying to find people, getting them to emergency medical treatment, but next to that we are seeing now so many people as you report outlined who are stuck, who can't go home, whose houses have been destroyed, or the fear of aftershocks and more quakes to come. ensuring we have a

suitable accommodation is important for us, the red crescent has started accommodating thousands of people in tents, in northern syria and we want to ensure that people's basic needs are being met, food blankets, hygiene kits, emergency medicine for people who take them. we have also mobilised search and rescue teams from neighbouring countries and other places, we have the lebanese red cross search and rescue experts arriving in syria last night and early this morning so it's still very much the early response stage but we are planning for the next stage as well. i but we are planning for the next stage as well-— but we are planning for the next stage as well. i guess it is hard to net those stage as well. i guess it is hard to get those supplies _ stage as well. i guess it is hard to get those supplies to _ stage as well. i guess it is hard to get those supplies to people - stage as well. i guess it is hard to . get those supplies to people because so many of the roads are blocked by this earthquake and there are real logistical challenges.— logistical challenges. that's right, overni . ht logistical challenges. that's right, overnight lots _ logistical challenges. that's right, overnight lots of _ logistical challenges. that's right, overnight lots of convoys - logistical challenges. that's right, overnight lots of convoys and - logistical challenges. that's right, i overnight lots of convoys and trucks left from ankara and damascus and other centres where we have pre—existing stocks for these kinds of emergencies. but one of the challenges that was brought up by the turkish red crescent is the

challenge of a lot of people trying to give aid and trying to get to the areas. we have launched an appeal for people to be able to donate cash at red cross .org.uk which is the easiest way to ensure that aid can get to people as quickly as possible and can be used in the most important way. i and can be used in the most important way.— and can be used in the most important way. and can be used in the most imortantwa . ~ ., ., ., and can be used in the most imortant wa . ~ ., ., , ., ., important way. i know always one of the problems _ important way. i know always one of the problems after— important way. i know always one of the problems after earthquakes - important way. i know always one of the problems after earthquakes is i the problems after earthquakes is that people do need shelter, as you have mentioned already, because they are terrified and it is possibly not are terrified and it is possibly not a good idea for them to go back into homes where there might be further tremors and those homes have been weakened, that could have dire consequences if they do go back into buildings. consequences if they do go back into buildinus. ~ , , consequences if they do go back into buildinus. ~ , ., �*, consequences if they do go back into buildinus. , ., �*, , buildings. absolutely. that's why we're positioning _ buildings. absolutely. that's why we're positioning this _ buildings. absolutely. that's why we're positioning this as - buildings. absolutely. that's why we're positioning this as very - buildings. absolutely. that's why l we're positioning this as very much a long—term recovery, we know this is going to be a long—term operation, we know people will be displaced for a long period of time and their housing needs will continue. we are doing early assessments at the moment in the affected areas, but there are 23 million people affected and the scale is unfathomable and we're

still in the first few hours so we are setting up a long—term operation including medication, social support for people, especially children who have been traumatised through this experience, and also ensuring people who may have a lifelong disability or may not be able to return to their livelihoods may be able to find work again and continue living. two countries predominantly hit by this devastating earthquake, turkey and syria, the people in syria already in a war zone, so already facing desperate circumstances. now even more unimaginably worse than the conditions, if that's possible, that they were already living in. that's correct. in syria this is a crisis within another crisis. syria has had more than a decade of ongoing conflict and crisis, a lot of these cities already have reduced infrastructure and health, water and sanitation, the basics that are needed, so having this happen now in the middle of winter on the back of

a cholera epidemic last year is a worst case scenario for us. we are working closely with the syrian red crescent to have mobilised team since the early hours of yesterday morning, but this really is a worst—case scenario for us and that's why we are asking people to give generously to this appeal because we know it will be huge and a long—term response and we need the help of people in the uk. 50 a long-term response and we need the help of people in the uk.— help of people in the uk. so you need funds _ help of people in the uk. so you need funds but _ help of people in the uk. so you need funds but you _ help of people in the uk. so you need funds but you do _ help of people in the uk. so you need funds but you do have - help of people in the uk. so you l need funds but you do have stocks help of people in the uk. so you - need funds but you do have stocks of aid supplies presumably for this eventuality in case something like this happens?— eventuality in case something like this hauens? ~ , ., this happens? absolutely. more than 200 trucks have _ this happens? absolutely. more than 200 trucks have been _ this happens? absolutely. more than 200 trucks have been released - this happens? absolutely. more than 200 trucks have been released in - 200 trucks have been released in turkey alone, with mattresses, tents, we have medical teams on standby if they are requested to come in to set up small surgical units, we have basic items, jerry cans for freshwater supplies for people who are not able to drink the water. these are the kind of pre—existing stocks we have these kind of emergencies, but again the scale of this is something that is hard to plan for and hard to fathom,

and for those non—food items, the initial items, they will run out quite quickly and we are already doing the supply chain management to ensure we can get in more supplies but in areas where we have a functioning market or market starts to function again we will prioritise cash payments to give people the choice of how they rebuild their own lives. , , ,, ., �* , lives. jeremy smith from the british red cross, thank _ lives. jeremy smith from the british red cross, thank you _ lives. jeremy smith from the british red cross, thank you for _ lives. jeremy smith from the british red cross, thank you for your - lives. jeremy smith from the british red cross, thank you for your time. | the former metropolitan police officer and serial rapist, david carrick, has been told he'll serve a minimum of 30 years in prison. carrick had pleaded guilty to carrying out dozens of sex attacks on women, including 24 counts of rape while he was a serving officer. his victims spoke of how they had "encountered evil". at his sentencing hearing at southwark crown court, mrsjustice cheema—grubb said he'd preyed on his victims over a period of two decades, in a brazen breach of trust for a police officer.

when you are arrested and charged for that offence in october 2021 it was publicised victims began to provide the accounts i have summarised. i have read the statements made by ten of the 12 victims, both asked of their experiences and the impact it has had. there is powerful and compelling evidence of irretrievable devastation in the lives of those you abused. survivors of rape and coercive control react and cope in different ways. those differences are apparent in the statements. each one is traumatised. one woman feels as if she has been lost for the last 19 years, encapsulating her experience with you as an encounter with evil which has caused long—lasting psychological harm.

that was justice cheema—grubb. detectives spoke to reporters outside southwark crown court. i'm relieved and pleased to be standing here today knowing that as a result of the courage of the victims and the hard work of my team, a serious and prolific sex offender is now safely behind bars. this has been one of the longest and most challenging investigations i have ever been involved in, it is a testament to my office is unwavering and dedicated pursuit forjustice that david carrick has been handed 36 life sentences today. i'm truly humbled by the bravery of the victims, each one was prepared to live their horrendous ordeal and face a carrick in court. i'd like to thank the crown prosecution team at thames chiltern, we have worked side by side with the exception of team of lawyers since october 2021 building a strong and compelling case —— exceptional team. our investigation doesn't stop here and we have set up a special reporting

portal to allow people to continue to share information with us. this portal will remain open and details can be found in the hertfordshire police website. i would urge anyone who thinks they have been a victim of david carrick to come forward. we still want to hear from you and we will support you. as a serving police officer david carrick has brought shame on the profession and was not fit to wear the uniform, but i hope that our determination to get justice for the victims in this case will go some way to reassuring the public that nobody is above the law and we will bring people like david carrick to justice. that was dci iain moor. june kelly has been following this report. there is a protest involving violence against women campaigners, which is the noise you can hear. thejudge, mrsjustice cheema—grubb, said to carrick that he had not

expressed any remorse or regret for his crimes, although he has admitted a catalogue of offences, but he said he cannot remember any of the acts of violence he committed, and we heard that while he has been in the prison system, he has tried to kill himself. the judge said she thought that was a self pitying reaction, rather than any display of remorse. she told him he had shaped the lives of the women he abused and damaged them very badly. as i say, some of them were in court to see him sentenced, and one said to me afterwards that she felt it was the right sentence because if he ever is released, he will be very old man, nearly 80 before he can be considered for release. the judge also said he had used his position as a police officer to deter women from reporting, and she said to him that as a now—former police officer, she acknowledged he would have a difficult time in the prison system for many years. june kelly reporting. with me now is ruth davison, chief executive of charity, refuge.

to go to the police, and only one in five of the women that refuge works with ever do report to the police as it is stop trust is now at an all—time low, so i would say today on your programme refuge is here, we run a 24—hour completely free, completely confidential helpline, it is 0808 2000 24/7, we will believe you and we will support you. thank ou ve you and we will support you. thank you very much. _ you and we will support you. thank you very much, chief _ you and we will support you. thank you very much, chief executive - you and we will support you. thank you very much, chief executive of i you very much, chief executive of refuge. and out of the world of politics because rishi sunak has announced a mini reshuffle of his cabinet. grant shapps is now secretary of a newly formed energy, security and net zero department. and greg hands has been named as the new conservative party chairman. with all the details, here's our political correspondent, ben wright. the shape of the rishi sunak�*s rejigged government was slow to emerge. through the morning, rumour and speculation swirled around westminster. it was clear the big

names weren't budging. are you being reshuffled, minister? the chancellor, jeremy hunt, for instance, remains at the treasury. but elsewhere in whitehall, departments are being rewired and rebadged. things to do here... so this is grant shapps, arriving at the department for business, energy and industrial strategy last october. but that department has now been chopped up. mr shapps will now lead a new department for energy security and net zero — something rishi sunak promised to do before he became prime minister. the war in ukraine, rocketing energy bills and climate change have made energy security a key issue for the government. labour has long called for this new department, but issues such as onshore wind farms remain very controversial in rishi sunak�*s party. the former culture secretary, michelle donelan, will now lead another new department — forscience, innovation and technology. while kemi badenoch has been put in charge of a department that combines business and trade — the sixth business secretary

since the 2019 general election. lucy frazer enters the cabinet as culture secretary, leading a department which is now lost its responsibility for digital, technology. nearly four months into the job rishi technology. nearly four months into thejob rishi sunak is trying to rework the government around his priorities. not by hiring and firing a crop of new cabinet ministers — after the turmoil of last year, the prime minister has decided to tinker with structures instead. but after he sacked the former tory chairman, nadhim zahawi, last month, he has used today to name a replacement. and this is him. greg hands has been a minister since the distant days of david cameron. are your taxes in order? good morning — they most definitely are! a safe pair of hands, the prime minister hopes. he will have the job of priming the tory party for the next election. unaffected by today's rejig is thejustice secretary

and deputy prime minister, dominic raab, currently being investigated for bullying accusations, which he denies. so a stamp of new management by the new prime minister, but not the end of his problems. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. what does all this mean? ione wells, a political correspondent, is in downing street. lots of renaming of departments. i guess a lot of it will pass voters by, to be honest. quite obscure. but what do you make of it, what you think the prime minister is trying to do with all this? i minister is trying to do with all this? ~' , ., �* , this? i think the government's argument _ this? i think the government's argument is — this? i think the government's argument is this _ this? i think the government's argument is this restructuring | this? i think the government's i argument is this restructuring of government is to try and address some of the prime minister's top priorities. we know that includes getting inflation down but also growing the economy. that ties into some of the new departments that have been created, for example this department for energy by appointing grant shapps as this new energy secretary of state, i think rishi sunak wants to make delivering more

home—grown energy a priority because we know the cost of energy bills at the moment is so high and that, as number 10 earlier, other countries have perhaps been more insulated from some of these price shocks we have seen two energy across the world as a result. so i think that is one priority they are trying to hit with this restructuring. i think the second one around growing the economy is hinted at in this new department of science, innovation and technology, the prime minister has been keen to stress that he wants to see sectors like science and tech grow in the uk and he thinks that will be key to protecting and creating more new jobs. earliertoday protecting and creating more new jobs. earlier today the prime minister was on a visit with his new energy secretary outlining exactly what some of these departments might mean for his priorities. i what some of these departments might mean for his priorities.— mean for his priorities. i think what we need _ mean for his priorities. i think what we need to _ mean for his priorities. i think what we need to do _ mean for his priorities. i think what we need to do is - mean for his priorities. i think what we need to do is deliver| mean for his priorities. i think i what we need to do is deliver for the country. at the beginning of this year— the country. at the beginning of this year i— the country. at the beginning of this year i set out five priorities, to halve — this year i set out five priorities, to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and _ economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and to — economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and to stop the boats. the changes — lists and to stop the boats. the changes to government i've announced

there has been a lot of change in just 12 months. ione wells, thank ou. just 12 months. ione wells, thank you- let's — just 12 months. ione wells, thank you- let's talk — just 12 months. ione wells, thank you. let's talk about _ just 12 months. ione wells, thank you. let's talk about these - just 12 months. ione wells, thank. you. let's talk about these changes a bit more now with the deputy editor of conservative home henry hill. good to have you with us this afternoon. asi as i said to ione wells, i'm not sure many voters will hugely register with these changes, especially all these changes of department titles. do you think this makes any difference to the tory party's poll ratings which are frankly not great at the moment? flat frankly not great at the moment? not directl , frankly not great at the moment? ijrrt directly, the logic would be that by allowing ministers to better focus on rishi sunak�*s priorities there will be able presumably to generate more policy wins by the next election and go into that election with a more coherent set of proposals on things that people care about. i don't think anybody really expects this kind of architecture of government stuff to filter through to voters immediately but ultimately the way that whitehall is organised does impact the way it operates the government and that does matter for all of us. ~ ., government and that does matter for all of us. ~ . ., , . all of us. what might affect the tory party's _ all of us. what might affect the tory party's performance - all of us. what might affect the l tory party's performance perhaps all of us. what might affect the - tory party's performance perhaps a

the former yorkshire bowling coach is the latest person to withdraw from the allegations of historical racism at the county. it follows the decision ofjohn blaine, matthew hoggard and tim bresnan, a former head coach andrew gale said he was not willing to engage in the process. seven individuals were charged but only former england captain michael vaughan is set to appear at a public hearing next month. yorkshire and the individuals were made after allegations made by former all—rounder aseem debbie. forwards coach richard cockerill is set to join the french club, montpellier, after the six nations. steve borthwick succeeded jones as head coach in december and has brought in defence coach kevin sinfield to his team as he attempts to rebuild the site before the world cup. england lost their six nations opener to scotland last weekend. work has begun to restore one of golf�*s historic landmarks, the

bridge at st andrews were the winners parade de claretjug, and they had been criticised after installing a new paved area to the approach, and the commentator ken brown likened the regular patio, i said several fans had brown likened the regular patio, i said severalfans had added a brown likened the regular patio, i said several fans had added a table and chairs to the newly renovated surface. st andrews said it was necessary because of the wear on the ground and the mud on the approach, as we can see from some of the pictures when you search that story but the former open champion nick faldo not a fan either, preparing the mud, as you can see, over the new look cement. work has started to reinstate the turf in the coming days. there we go. we will see what happens, the latest developments with that but that is all of the sport, for now, back to you, ben. good to see you, thank you. that is why i was looking down. that is all right, you're always there for us.

let's bring you back to the main story, the earthquakes in turkey and syria with 5000 people known to have died and the who saying there are 23 million people who may well have been affected. we can talk to a worker with islamic relief in southern turkey, near the epicentre of the earthquakes. thank you for being with us, i know that you are extremely busy with the relief efforts. just describe the scene around you and what you are doing to help. the mac it is overwhelming, you know, it is really difficult. it you know, it is really difficult. tit is overwhelming. there are so much going on. it is a disaster. the last 72 hours —— the first 72 hours, it is critical and essential that we try to save as many lives as possible. there is a huge effort going on in terms of trying to work through the rubble to try and find

people, it is painful to see. there are lots of noise as we are hearing in terms of people screaming and calling out for help. there is the odd bit of rejoicing and happiness when someone is found. added to that, as and when we sort of evacuate and take people away from the rubble, and get them to a sort of safer location, we are then providing medical assistance and providing medical assistance and providing food. last night was difficult. these are the coldest months of the year in northern syria and southern turkey, and it is subzero conditions. indoors at the moment. i can assure you that outdoors it is subzero conditions so last night was really hard and difficult because many of the people have lost their shelter, lost their homes, their livelihoods, family members, had to sleep outdoors. there are many welcome centres, we can fit people in, whether they be hospitals or schools, places bit

which we could find as safe, we were putting people there but it is not enough. our putting people there but it is not enough. 0ur message putting people there but it is not enough. our message to all those watching and listening, seeing the harrowing and difficult images coming through, the images will never really give a true picture. you have to be herfirst time never really give a true picture. you have to be her first time to see the devastation. the devastation is unbelievable. i have been working for islamic relief for 15 years, i've been to many war zones and disasters, and this is unbelievable, what we are seeing here. just to describe for my colleagues in turkey myself at the moment, my colleagues are in syria, and they are talking about it being unprecedented and unbelievable. there have been 13 years of war in syria, and in the northern part of syria they are describing to us, mass graves, because of the fact that there are so many bodies that they are recovering, and the pain and difficulty people have already gone through, 13 years of war, we cannot

possibly imagine the difficulties and struggles peoples have gone through. they are already living in subhuman conditions, overcrowding, refugee camps, substandard shelters, and just to put everything again into perspective, a couple of weeks ago, one of our focus into perspective, a couple of weeks ago, one of ourfocus is into perspective, a couple of weeks ago, one of our focus is at islamic relief, as the harsh winter conditions were setting in we were preparing for winterisation, providing heating, blankets, extra protection to those living in tents, and those living in a tent and other lucky ones, the ones who are now hosting those who were living in shelters. it is unbelievable. what we are seeing. there are so many medical needs, there is so much need forfood medical needs, there is so much need for food and for more shelter. we are working around the clock, everyone is doing their best and we are calling on people to help us, the aid agencies are doing a phenomenaljob. i could talk about our own colleagues in islamic relief, many of them who live in

this area, because of the fact that there are so much that is going on. this is not a normal area, this is an area between the south of turkey and the north of syria that for years has suffered many challenges with millions of refugees having passed through, millions of refugees settling here and having vast needs so prior to the earthquake it was bad, it has only become worse so we have the staff who were based and focused here, and they are describing themselves how their own homes, they have lost their own homes, they have lost their own homes, and yet despite that they have had to leave their homes and families and go out and try to help as many people as possible, and we are all working around the clock, it is critical everyone does what they can and helps organisations like islamic relief who are delivering on the ground to help reach as many as possible. t the ground to help reach as many as ossible. ~ ., ., the ground to help reach as many as ossible. ~ ., . , ., the ground to help reach as many as ossible. ~ ., ., , ., ., the ground to help reach as many as ossible. ~ ., ., i. ., ., possible. i know that you are doing as many -- — possible. i know that you are doing as many -- amazing _ possible. i know that you are doing as many -- amazing work, - possible. i know that you are doing as many -- amazing work, thank i possible. i know that you are doing i as many -- amazing work, thank you, as many —— amazing work, thank you, and good luck to you with all of your efforts and for describing the situation so eloquently. it is

tragic to hear. but thank you for your time. energy giant bp has reported record profits for last year — partly driven by surging oil and gas prices in the wake of russia's invasion of ukraine. they more than doubled to £23 billion in 2022. and the company has scaled back plans to reduce oil and gas output by 2030. rising energy costs have left many people struggling to pay the bills, but the bbc has learned that as much as 50 million pounds of government money to help families, has been left unclaimed. customers with traditional pre—payment meters could have cashed in vouchers for extra support, but many haven't been used. our cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. 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 three—quarters of a million 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. make sure your details are correct on the system because you need to bring in it to cash in your voucher, so make sure your name and address match up with the system, they should post you a new one or send it by e—mail and you can use that one within three months. emma is one of those frustrated to have missed out on the cash.

i have not received the october voucher, we are into february and i had still not received it. i have been in touch with british gas on the phone i know few occasions and they keep blaming it on royal mail, i have written a complaint. we have not got anywhere with that. british gas have said they contact emma to help her but others say they need to do more to make sure the vouchers are getting through, including trying to reach customers three times by more than one means, including posts, e—mails and text. citizens advice say that it's not happening at the moment. 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. energy companies are already in hot water for the way they treat pre—payment customers,

but they have told us they are fully committed to ensuring vouchers are delivered and redeemed and to make the support scheme as successful as possible. but right now, some of the most vulnerable are out of pocket at a time they need it most. colletta smith, bbc news. colletta joins us now. just explain how this has happened? for a lot of hassles it will be around £130 if they have had two months worth of vouchers i not turning up or they have not managed to cash in time. many of those households may find that they are not opening post that comes, particularly from their energy supplier or that looks official, people are energy supplier or that looks °fficial people are in energy supplier or that looks °ffici3l people are in debt that is official, people are in debt that is often the case back for a large cohort of people it seems that the address data is wrong. it is probably worth explaining for those

of us on direct debits, you may not know but for people on prepayment meters, you have very little contact with your energy company normally. all you have is your card or your key and your contact is with the shopkeeper or post office manager where you top up your account regularly. so, a lot of that data is out of date if people have been living in a rented house, it may be the case that a letter arrives for the case that a letter arrives for the tenants from two or three tenants ago. so that information is not updated regularly with the energy companies so those facts will not match up, the names and address, so people cannot prove when they take their letter to the post office or the pay point shop, that it is the metre that needs topping up, so those addresses do need to be updated, and part of that name therefore lies at the door of the government, because they are the ones issuing this policy you are saying, every home in britain needs this support, and were going to do

it through the energy companies so although the energy companies are under serious scrutiny at the moment and under pressure from citizens advice and the government be more proactive to contact customers on prepayment meters, it is a government policy that, at this stage, is not reaching a significant portion of the population, and often the people who need the money most at the moment, the people who are self disconnecting, struggling to keep the heat on and cook their food at the moment, particularly in this cold weather, you have not had access to that extra money that the government had promised.- access to that extra money that the government had promised. thank you ve much, government had promised. thank you very much, colletta _ government had promised. thank you very much, colletta smith _ government had promised. thank you very much, colletta smith reporting. l very much, colletta smith reporting. police in surrey have referred themselves to the independent office of police conduct after confirming that the deaths of the head teacher of epsom college, her husband and daughter are part of a homicide investigation. the independent office of police conduct says that a surrey police officer did have contact with the husband before the

condition and had become a dumping ground, with all sorts of things scattered, they even found flies and maggots. this was a harrowing case for the jury but they took just over a day of deliberation to find kayleigh's father alan titford guilty of gross negligence, manslaughter, and he has partner will now be sentenced at the beginning of next month. thank you ve much beginning of next month. thank you very much indeed, _ beginning of next month. thank you very much indeed, a _ beginning of next month. thank you very much indeed, a very _ beginning of next month. thank you | very much indeed, a very distressing case. hywel griffith reporting, there. an underwater expert helping police in lancashire to search for nicola bulley described the case as baffling. police say they think she fell into the river while walking her dog in st michael's. a search and rescue expert said that the current of the river would not be very strong enough to take her far.

thousands of nurses are on strike for a second day in a row over pay and working conditions. one third of nhs trusts in england are affected by the strike which is being run by members of the royal college of nursing. the government says it cannot afford to pay increases that have been demanded by that union and others for this year. a trial aimed at making train fares simpler by scrapping return tickets is set to be extended. currently, many singles are only £1 less than a return. the government is expected to say later that lner, which operates east coast main line trains will operate the scheme which ensures that a single is always half the cost of a return. the chairman of the bbc richard sharpe as the he gave borisjohnson financial advice when he was prime minister. he has appeared before a commons select committee after claims he helped mrjohnson secure a loan of up to £800,000 before being

appointed as bbc chair. the government has previously said mr sharp was appointed on merit. google says it is launching its own artificial intelligence powered chat bot to rival chatgpt which mimics human writing on the chatgpt, which is owned by microsoft has astonished the tech world since it was launched two months ago but has raised questions and concerns about the future of ai versus human intelligence. chatgpt set the internet on fire when it launched in november. it is incredibly detailed answers have amazed users. it can pass exams, compose poems, even write code. it is seen as game changing technology. now, google has rushed to announce its version of chatgpt, it is called bard and based on similar technologies, seeking to

combine knowledge with the power, and creativity of large language models. there was more than a whiff of panic, too. the announcement is the latest salvo in a monumental fight between google and microsoft, because, make no mistake about it, chatgpt threatens to undermine google's entire business model. that is because chatgpt�*s ai can transform search engines, producing far more tailored, relevant results. it is now widely expected that microsoft's search engine bing will be incorporated into chatgpt and that announcement is expected imminently. you can see why google is seriously worried. more than 90% of the world's searches on google, the company makes a fortune from that dominance, through advertising revenue. in contrast, around 3% of

searches are currently on bing. microsoft would love a bit of that pie. in mountain view, of google headquarters, executives are concerned. they hope that bard will be the answer to chatgpt. the company has poured money into ai over the past few years. bard is based around a language model called lamda, which one google employee said were so sent in —— so humanlike he believed the system to be almost entertained. we know that google is seriously spooked. just one way that chatgpt is already disrupting the tech industry. james clayton, bbc news, silicon valley. finally, they call themselves the warriors, three female cyclists who risk their lives to escape the taliban. now, for the first time they have been talking about their hopes of competing in next year's olympics. women and girls are banned from playing or sport in afghanistan, but since arriving in the uk last november,

we are starting to see some spells of sunshine. temperatures generally between 6—11 celsius. overnight, this band of cloud really just sits across parts of north—west england, southern scotland and northern ireland, maybe giving the odd spot of drizzle, the winds are strengthening in the north—west of scotland but, further south across wales, central and southern england, we will see quite a widespread frost, with lows of potentially —6 where we are under this area of high pressure, with this frontal system approaching from the north—west making for some very different weather, some much more turbulent weather, particularly in parts of scotland. so, fog could again be a problem tomorrow morning across parts of the midlands, wales, down towards the south of england. some of that fog dense and slow to clear. but then, actually, across england and wales, we should see some spells of sunshine whereas for northern ireland and scotland, we will see a bit more cloud fringing in, rain into the far north—west and the winds across the northern half of the uk will be strengthening with gusts of up to 75 mph possible in parts of north—west scotland. temperature—wise tomorrow, looking at highs of between 7—10 celsius,

but if you did get stuck under fog for any length of time in the south it could stay colder than that. now, this weather front as it sinks southwards and eastwards during wednesday night into thursday, will weaken, with just a band of cloud left behind in the far south—east on friday morning, but, some wintry showers pushing on across parts of scotland, falling over higher ground, bringing sleet to lower levels with those wintry showers spreading through thursday, a lot of dry weather through the day and highs of 8—9 degrees. a change to the feel of the weather as we head to the end of the week. high pressure builds to the south, frontal systems try to push in from the north—west, and this will bring us more of a westerly wind, feeding milder air across the uk, particularly high temperatures on friday in northern ireland and scotland, with maybe highs of 12—13 celsius.

henry hill, editor of conservative home. hello, good afternoon, you're watching bbc news and i'm ben brown. the headlines at three o'clock. the former met police officer, david carrick, one of the uk's most prolific sex offenders, is sentenced to a minimum of 30 years injail. mrsjustice cheema—grubb sentenced carrick. you took a monstrous advantage of women you drew into intimate relationships with you, you've brazenly raped and sexually assaulted many women, some you barely knew. you behaved as if you were untouchable. a 45—year—old man has been found guilty of the manslaughter by gross negligence of his daughter — 16—year—old kaylea was morbidly obese when she died at the family home in october 2020.

the conditions in which kaylea was found were apparent and indicate that shocking neglect over a long period of time both environmentally and physically. more than 5,000 people are now known to have died in the earthquakes which struck turkey and syria — rescuers continue desparate efforts to save people trapped beneath the rubble. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. grant shapps is appointed to the new role, of energy and net zero secretary and greg hands replaces nadhim zahawi as conservative chairman in a mini cabinet re—shuffle. police believe the epsom college headteacher, shot dead with her daughter, was killed by her husband, who then took his own life.

hello. the former metropolitan police officer and serial rapist, david carrick, has been told he'll serve a minimum of 30 years in prison. carrick had pleaded guilty to carrying out dozens of sex attacks on women, including 24 counts of rape while he was a serving officer. his victims spoke of how they had "encountered evil". our correspondent, helena wilkinson is outside the court. she can bring us up to date with the events of today. helen. yes. she can bring us up to date with the events of today. helen.— events of today. helen. yes, this has been a _ events of today. helen. yes, this has been a two — events of today. helen. yes, this

has been a two day _ events of today. helen. yes, this has been a two day sentencing i has been a two day sentencing hearing here at southwark crown court, and the details that we have heard have been extremely graphic, extremely harrowing. you can only think of what it must be like for some of his victims who were here in court to have to listen through again the horrific offences that he committed against his 12 victims. david carrick sat in a glass doc here today for his sentencing hearing, some of his victims, as i said, sat around five metres away behind him wanting to see the man who committed these offences, and who caused them so much trauma, and still they go through that, to see him being punished. well, thejudge, mrs justice cheema—grubb sentenced him earlier today, as you mention, and she also spoke about the victims in this case. when your arrest and charge for that offence in october 2021 was publicised victims began to provide the accounts i have summarised.

i have read the statements made by 10 of the 12 victims, both asked of their experiences and the impact it has had. there is powerful and compelling evidence of irretrievable devastation in the lives of those you abused. survivors of rape and coercive control react and cope in different ways. those differences are apparent in the statements. each one is traumatised. one woman feels as if she has been lost for the last 19 years, encapsulating her experience with you as an encounter with evil which has caused long—lasting psychological harm. denial, anger, hatred, betrayal, shame, self—blame and fear of being labelled a victim are common emotions.

thejudge continued with the judge continued with her sentencing remarks. david carrick didn't flinch at all when she was going through those, and she then continued, asked him to stand in the dock, and then she continued to hand down her sentence. she told carrick that it would be 30 years minimum before he is considered for parole. your offending was over 17 years and encompassed 12 victims. moreover, the singular element which elevates your offending as a brutal serial rapist into that company is the principal aggravating feature of the explicit or implicit use of your occupation to entice, reassure or intimidate your victims. i have to bear in mind that my function is to impose appropriate punishment, and when that is served, the parole board will decide how to protect the public thereafter. decades will have passed before that time comes.

this has been a complex and huge investigation for hertfordshire police. hertfordshire is where david carrick committed most of his offences and that's where he lived. the victims in this case, 12 women, and we heard from dci ian more outside the court after carrick was sentenced. t’m outside the court after carrick was sentenced-— outside the court after carrick was sentenced. �* , ., , ., sentenced. i'm pleased and relieved to be standing _ sentenced. i'm pleased and relieved to be standing here _ sentenced. i'm pleased and relieved to be standing here today _ sentenced. i'm pleased and relieved to be standing here today knowing i to be standing here today knowing that as _ to be standing here today knowing that as a _ to be standing here today knowing that as a result of the victims and the relentless hard work of my team, a serious _ the relentless hard work of my team, a serious and — the relentless hard work of my team, a serious and prolific sex offender is now— a serious and prolific sex offender is now safely behind bars. —— iain moor~ _ is now safely behind bars. —— iain moor~ this— is now safely behind bars. —— iain moor. this has been one of the longest— moor. this has been one of the longest and most complicated cases i've longest and most complicated cases i've been_ longest and most complicated cases i've been involved in. it is testament to my officers' dedication that david _ testament to my officers' dedication that david carrick has been handed down _ that david carrick has been handed down the _ that david carrick has been handed down the sentence today. each of the victims _ down the sentence today. each of the victims was _ down the sentence today. each of the victims was prepared to face their ordeal— victims was prepared to face their ordeal and — victims was prepared to face their ordeal and face carrick in court. i

commission of the metropolitan police after carrick was sentenced here earlier today at southwark crown court. the commissioner has vowed to earn back the trust and confidence of women. he acknowledges that the force has let down women across london, but that it is more determined than ever to put it right. i think today and yesterday the focus not only on the punishment that carrick has received, a minimum term of 30 years in prison before he will be considered for parole, but for his 12 victims, the women, who were degraded. the serious sexual offences that he committed against them, they will have to live with that for the rest of their lives. helena wilkinson, thank you very much for that. helena wilkinson reporting from southwark crown court. separately, a serving met police officer has been charged with rape. pcjorden brown, attached to the central east command unit

is accused of rape and three counts of actual bodily harm. he's due to attend barkingside magistrates court tomorrow. he's been suspended from duty. ajury in edinburgh has heard that a man accused of rape told his alleged victim that no—one would listen to her because he was a police officer. giving evidence at the high court, the woman has said that martyn coulter raped her twice in 2013. he denies a total of eight charges, and the trial continues. police in surrey have referred themselves to the independent office of police conduct after confirming that the deaths of the head teacher of epsom college, her husband and daughter are part of a homocide investigation. the iopc says a surrey police officer had contact with the husband before the deaths. a firearm registered to him has been found at the scene. bhavani vadde sent this report. there has been a significant update in this investigation. surrey police

now believe that the head teacher of epsom college shot dead by her husband who then killed their daughter before taking his own life with the same gun at the family home in the grounds of this private school. the bodies of emma paterson, her husband george and their seven year daughter letty were found in the early hours of sunday morning. george patterson had a gun licence which had been recently updated. the bbc understands that mrs paterson made a distress call to a family member sometime late on saturday evening. but by the time that relative arrived all three people were dead. emma patterson became the first female head of this prestigious private school five months ago after six years as head teacher at croydon high school. tributes have been pouring in for her including on social media. she is described as a warm and caring soul, a bright star, an inspiring leader and a fabulous role model. epsom college said the community would be coming together to process

the news, grieve and pay their respects to their wonderful head —— emma pattison postmortem examinations are expected to take place later this week. the time is just approaching 3:11pm. more than 5,000 people are now known to have died, after yesterday's devastating earthquakes that hit turkey and syria. many more have been injured, as thousands of buildings collapsed. the homeless are now having to endure freezing temperatures without shelter, as rescue teams and local residents scramble to free others trapped in the rubble, with some people being heard crying out in pain for help. the uk hasjoined dozens of countries, in promising aid for turkey's gaziantep province, near the epicentre of the quakes. with more, here's richard galpin. almost 36 hours after the huge earthquake struck this region, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble of hundreds of collapsed buildings. this little girl was found

in one syrian town. this little girl was found in a syrian town of jandairis. the cries for help from the many people still trapped can also be heard in the rubble—strewn streets of south—eastern turkey. adding to the difficulty of the rescue operations is the cold weather and winter storms. on top of this, many people have know where to go to for shelter. their homes have been destroyed and fear of more aftershocks is also deterring many from returning to what remains of their houses. the world health organization is appealing for rapid action by the international community. it is now a race against time.

every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. there are already 5,000 people confirmed dead. the world health organization has enlisted up to 3 million people the world health organization has enlisted up to 23 million people could potentially be affected by this disaster, including 5 million vulnerable people. translation: we are sitting here in the cold and - rain, just waiting for the rescuers to start digging. translation: i slept in the car, helping my in the car, hoping my children would get out of the building. i had seven children under the rubble. offers of aid are coming from around the world, including many charities and voluntary organisations. but one veteran british

aid worker on his way to help said the dangers have not yet passed. they can expect this to go on for weeks, if not a month. that will be the challenge for the rescue efforts and the local population, every time they galvanise to go back to their houses, there is another aftershock, so people will become fixed in what will become camps of displaced person so they will need shelter, will become camps of internally displaced persons so they will need shelter, water, food at some point and those rescued will need medical support. amongst the thousands of buildings which have been destroyed our which have been destroyed are businesses, schools and hospitals, as well as homes. this fire in the turkish port of iskenderun is thought to be another impact of the earthquake. all operations there have come to a halt. aid agencies have reportedthat

the devastation is so widespread that it will take time to assess the damage and ascertain the true scale of the help needed. richard galpin, bbc news. our correspondent anna foster has just arrived near the epicentre of the quakes, in southern turkey. even to get here is a long and difficult road, we will stopping an gridlocked traffic with search and rescue teams, and as they were trying desperately to get here and when you do arrive you really do get a sense of the destruction and the devastation. we are not talking a single collapsed building here, we are talking about this, and the people behind me, these are the homes, they have nowhere to go, they are pulling out furniture and burning it to keep warm. rescuers are still on top of these piles of rubble, but there isjust

are still on top of these piles of rubble, but there is just too are still on top of these piles of rubble, but there isjust too much, there are too many collapsed buildings. there is too much for them to try and deal with with the resources that they have at the moment. this is wiped out the city, and really i can't imagine how long it will take to actually see the full extent of what has happened here. ., , full extent of what has happened here. . , ~ ., here. that is anna foster reporting from turkey- _ this is the most powerful earthquake to hit turkey in almost a century. the epicentre was here in the south close to the city of gaziantep near the border with syria, one of the world's most seismically active regions. that's because turkey sits on the fault line, where three tectonic plates all come together. the arabian plate is constantly pushing into the eurasian plate, which squeezes this one, the anatolian plate, to the west. it's moving at about 2cm every year. where the plates grind past each other, more faultlines are created, leading to the earthquake we saw yesterday.

our middle east correspondent, tom bateman, spoke to us from the city of iskenderun, in southern turkey. i was just talking to a family who are unable to go to this very badly damaged building here, and told me that they have four friends missing in the building and one confirmed dead, but the big problem for them, this is a grandmother with children and young grandchildren, she said that there had been no aid at all, apart from a very small private group that was able to bring some bread and tomato this morning. we saw a small truck handing out jumpers and trainers. it was a desperate scene. the other thing to point out

about this town is the way it has become a series of disasters on top of each other because not only do we have many collapsed buildings but you can see behind me this huge plume of smoke rising behind the shattered buildings here and on to the taurus mountains over there. this is from a port fire, the fire started in containers. we drove past it, they looked like gas containers, that began as the earthquake struck. so a whole series of problems and no apparent delivery of any formal aid here so far, all of this while president erdogan declares a state of emergency in ten provinces, including this one. tom bateman reporting there. a short while ago i spoke tojeremy smith from the british red cross and he told me about the humanitarian assitance being provided to people in syria and turkey. the first and biggest priority is still search and rescue, we are still in that critical first 48 hours of the response

and from the very first moments of this red cross search and rescue volunteers from the community affected have been mobilised and have been responding, searching through the rubble and trying to find people, getting them to emergency medical treatment, but next to that we are seeing now so many people, as your reporter outlined, who are stuck, who can't go home, whose houses have been destroyed, or the fear of aftershocks and more quakes to come. ensuring we have a suitable accommodation is a challenge for us, the red crescent has started accommodating thousands of people in tents, in northern syria and we want to ensure that people's basic needs are being met, food, blankets, hygiene kits, emergency medicines for people who take them. we have also mobilised search and rescue teams from neighbouring countries and other places, we had the lebanese red cross search and rescue experts arriving in turkiye last night and syria

early this morning so it's still very much the early response stage but we are planning for the next stage as well. i guess it is hard to get those supplies to people because so many of the roads are blocked by this earthquake and there are real logistical challenges. that's right, overnight lots of convoys and trucks left from ankara and damascus and other centres where we have pre—positioned stocks for these kinds of emergencies. but one of the challenges that was brought up by the turkish red crescent is the challenge of a lot of people trying to give aid and trying to get to the areas. we have launched an appeal for people to be able to donate cash at redcross.org.uk which is the easiest way to ensure that aid can get to people as quickly as possible and can be used in the most important way. syria has had more than a decade of ongoing conflict and crisis and there are already precarious essentials for health, health care, water supply, so on the back of the cholera outbreak is a worst—case scenario. we are asking people to

give generously to this appeal because we know it will be a long—term response and we need the help of people in the uk. so you need funds but you do have stocks of aid supplies presumably for this eventuality in case something like this happens? absolutely. more than 200 trucks have been released in turkey alone, released in turkiye alone, with mattresses, tents, we have medical teams on standby if they are requested to come in to set up small surgical units, we have basic items, jerry cans for freshwater supplies for people who are not able to drink the water. these are the kind of pre—positioned stocks we have these kind of emergencies, but again the scale of this is something that is hard to plan for and hard to fathom, and for those non—food items, the initial items, they will run out quite quickly and we are already doing the supply chain management to ensure we can get in more

supplies but in areas where we have a functioning market or market starts to function again we will prioritise people being able to receive cash payments to give people the choice of how they rebuild their own lives. jeremy smith from the british red cross. the jailing of a serial rapist and former metropolitan police officer david carrick. the met commissioner mark rowley has been talking to journalists. let's listen to what he said. ., ., journalists. let's listen to what he said. . , , said. david carrick's rhymes were unspeakably _ said. david carrick's rhymes were unspeakably evil. _ said. david carrick's rhymes were unspeakably evil. the _ said. david carrick's rhymes were unspeakably evil. the treatments that he subjected his victims and the survivors to was truly degrading and inhumane. their courage has been extraordinary in coming forward and helping today him be brought to justice. their courage is admirable

but we in policing have failed. he should not have been a police officer. there were many signs that we should have joined together and he should have been rooted out during his career as a police officer. it is upsetting to be stood here talking about this, and i apologise again to the victims, and indeed i apologise to the women of london, many of whom i'm sure will be troubled and their trust in policing will be shaken by these events. we recognise as police officers that we have a big task ahead if we are to regain that trust. i have tens of thousands of colleagues, men and women, who really care about releasing london and recognise the scale of that challenge and what needs to be done. i've been really clear from day one as commissioner four months ago that one of the challenges for me was to

root out those that corrupt the integrity of the metropolitan police, and this case and others like it illustrate that challenge. todayis like it illustrate that challenge. today is not a day for going through action plans. today is a day for reflection and apologising to victims. but i have been very clear, we will update at the end of march with the progress we have made as we go step—by—step to tackle these issues and remove those that shouldn't be serving as police officers. we will not resolve this overnight, but as we lift the stones and deal with what is underneath it you will see progress month by month and quarter by quarter. i will finish where i started. i apologise to the women of london. i repeat my admiration for the women who came forward and i promise the people of london we will do better and we will give you the police service you deserve. i will take two or three

ione wells is in downing street now. how important is this reshuffle? talk through what it means. it is significant for a couple of reasons. the first significant appointment that we knew about was the replacement of the conservative party chairman after nadhim zahawi was sacked over that row about his tax affairs. he's been replaced by greg hands who is a friend and close ally of the prime minister rishi sunak and he has a big task on his hands. he has to try and turn around those opinion polls which are not looking too good for the conservatives at the moment head of the local elections in england coming up in may so that's his big challenge. the second big thing the prime minister has done in this reshuffle is actually restructured in government departments entirely. he's decided to create a new department for energy and net zero which will be run by grant shapps, and with energy bill so high in the race on to try and get carbon emissions down in the uk he has a

big task on his hands as well. he's also created new department for science, innovation and run by michelle donelan and earlier the prime minister said the creation of these departments would help contribute toward some of his key priorities which would include growing the economy and creating more jobs. growing the economy and creating morejobs. what growing the economy and creating more jobs. what we growing the economy and creating morejobs. what we need to growing the economy and creating more jobs. what we need to do growing the economy and creating morejobs. what we need to do is deliverfor morejobs. what we need to do is deliver for the country, the beginning of this year i set out five priorities to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and stop the boats. the changes to government have announced today will help us deliver on those _ announced today will help us deliver on those promises for the people, particularly the creation, first of its kind — particularly the creation, first of its kind department for energy security— its kind department for energy security and net zero, so we can really _ security and net zero, so we can really focus _ security and net zero, so we can really focus on that issue, bring down _ really focus on that issue, bring down people's energy bills, produce more _ down people's energy bills, produce more energy here at home and make sure that _ more energy here at home and make sure that that energy is clean and renewable — sure that that energy is clean and renewable as we transition to net zero _ renewable as we transition to net zero i_ renewable as we transition to net zero. i know that's a priority of the country— zero. i know that's a priority of the country has and it's a priority of mine — the country has and it's a priority of mine and _ the country has and it's a priority of mine and today's changes will help us— of mine and today's changes will help us deliver it. so

scotland, northwest england, the odd spot of rain with that brighter skies to the north, temperatures between six and 11 degrees. now overnight, this band of cloud makes very little progress just sitting in place across north west england, southern scotland, northern ireland, fog forming again across wales, central and southern parts of england, where a touch of frost is likely. , in one or two places in the countryside, we're looking in fact, in one or two places in the countryside, we're looking at lows of minus five, minus six degrees. so watch out for that fog first thing tomorrow morning. but then england and wales will see some spells of sunshine, more cloud for parts of northern ireland, northwest scotland, rain later and a strengthening wind will see wind gusts of around 75 miles per hour in the far north west of scotland. later in the day, the winds far lighter further south and top temperatures between seven and ten degrees. bye for now. hello, this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines...

westminster. sport and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. leeds united have begun interviewing for their new head coach and hope to have an appointment before the weekend. they sacked jesse marsch yesterday, with the club without a win in seven games, and now only outside the relegation places on goal difference. the west brom boss, carlos calderon, formerly a coach at leeds under marcella bielsa, is in the picture, as is the manager of rayo vallecano. leeds take on the inform manchester united at old trafford tomorrow night. jesse marsch was a good guy, and the team are working hard under him but they are used to changes as professional football athletes, and the mood i wouldn't say it is down

but it is ok, it is about we have got to focus on manchester united, we have got to be positive and go after three points.— after three points. manchester united are _ after three points. manchester united are unbeaten _ after three points. manchester united are unbeaten at - after three points. manchester united are unbeaten at home | after three points. manchesterl united are unbeaten at home in after three points. manchester - united are unbeaten at home in the last 15 matches under all competitions and a win would take them level on points with rivals manchester city. united manager erik ten hag says that managers need time and he said he was disappointed to see jesse marsch and he said he was disappointed to seejesse marsch lose his job ahead of the match tomorrow night. tt is a of the match tomorrow night. it is a little bit disappointing _ of the match tomorrow night. it is a little bit disappointing and - of the match tomorrow night. it is a little bit disappointing and sad - of the match tomorrow night. tit 3 a. little bit disappointing and sad so in general, i don't believe in it, that with a second manager you get better results, most of the time it doesn't work. let managers do their work, let them finish their work and make a good situation, but obviously the pressure is high, with the decision—makers in football clubs.

chelsea have hired the former new zealand leadership coach coach gilbert onoko on a short—term consultancy role. it will be his first work in football and he will focus on team culture and integrating new arrivals at the club including the eight newjanuary signings. he was part of the coaching staff when the all blacks won the world cup in 2011, and 2015, and has worked with the country's cricket and netball teams. they were just seconds away from one of the great fa cup stories, and now non—league wrexham go again in a replay against sheffield united from the championship, with the winner hosting tottenham hotspur in the fifth round. wrexham were 3—2 up whenjohn egan equalised in stoppage time for united at the racecourse ground last sunday. wrexham are of course co—owned by hollywood actors ryan meadows and rob mcelhinney and tonight's game will be streamed across the us. alan wyn jones alan wynjones is alan wyn jones is fit for wales against scotland on saturday after being ruled out. coach warren

gatland said that after the 34—10 defeat by ireland thatjones would not be available after failing a head injury assessment but welsh medics say that he can play this weekend after it was confirmed he suffered a neck injury, not serious enough to keep him out. work has begun to restore one of golf�*s historic landmarks, the bridge at st andrews were the winners parade de claretjug, and they had been criticised after installing a new paved area to the approach, and the commentator ken brown likened the work to a patio, as several fans had added a table and chairs to the newly renovated surface. not a bad little restaurant if that worked out. st andrews said it was necessary because of the wear on the ground and the mud on the approach. former open champion nick faldo not a fan either, preparing the mud, as you can see, over the new look cement.

work has started to reinstate the turf in the coming days. there we go. all is well that ends well. that is all the sport for now. it would be a small restaurant but it would have a lovely view. a very good view! cheers, gavin, thank you. volunteers from the north west of england have flown out to turkey, to join an international rescue operation after two major earthquakes there. more than 4,000 people have died. medics from a manchester—based charity have been preparing their equipment and other supplies. they've helped out at other earthquakes. katie walderman has been to their base. that's right. you join me from the uk medwarehouse here in stockport, where all the medical supplies and equipment that the team headed out to turkey may need are being assembled. and i'm joined now by gemma from the uk med charity. and gemma, just tell us who have you got headed out there? where are they headed for and how are they trying to help or hoping to help? so we've got a team of roughly five

members, a mixture of medical staff and operational staff. they're heading out to gaziantep if we can get them that far in. and essentially, they're there to make an assessment to see what the situation is on the ground, what needs there are out there, what we can identify, that we can help with, and basically send the message back to us of what they need sending out in order to set up an operation. obviously, communications are pretty bad at the moment. so what are you doing in the meantime while you wait for word of what they need? so, just making sure that everything else is prepared. so we had to support them yesterday with getting out some basic equipment that they would need tents, a smartphone, those kind —— satphone, of things, so that they can do the job they need to do. so that was yesterday's job. and today we're going to start pulling down all of the equipment in readiness. and everything you see behind me here would be what we'd need to set up a field hospital from scratch. just tell us what's in some of these boxes. so it's all boxed together in a way that should hopefully pop up a little bit in the field. but it's anything from kind of tents and generators that you see behind me to tables and chairs and trolleys for the team to work on,

as well as sending out medical consumables and pharmaceuticals from our netherlands warehouse as well to support with the actual treatment of patients. and we know that at least 5000 people have died so far. we know that figure could rise and will rise dramatically. how are the team out there prepared for what they'll face? yeah, we've got really experienced team going. they've been out to several disasters with us recently, including ukraine that we were in a few months ago. and so they've got good knowledge and good experience of doing this as well as we support them with some basic training and support from here as well to kind of prepare them a little bit for what they're expected to see. many turkish and syrian people here in the uk are worried about their family and friends. our reporter peter harris has been speaking to a turkish restaurant owner in durham whose family home has been destroyed. shouting frightening to watch, and when your friends and family are still in turkey, the anxiety is unimaginable. you feel helpless. like, you know you can't do anything. it'sjust, like, you know

that your family is dying, or they're in trouble. you're watching them, and then it's like everyone is your country people, everyone is like family. these things doesn't have religion, doesn't have colour, doesn't have conflict, to be honest. it's just human people are dying, that's just really sad. cendiz, who now lives in durham, was awoken by calls from family in his home town of elazig in the early hours. his brother described what happened as they scrambled to safety. he says literally, he got up, he was shaken that much, he said, "i just thought my building was going to collapse." the first thing he said, he just thought of getting the kids. then the wall collapsed. they managed to get out and then run. his best friend is still missing after the earthquake. suddenly home seems an awfully long way away.

let's return to the energy giant bp reporting record profits for last year — bp made £23 billion in 2022 — driven by surging oil and gas prices because of the war in ukraine. i can speak to nick coleman, senior editor at s&p global, a business and finance analytics company. good to have you with us, thank you very much. not surprising because we saw mega profits for shell, and now bp following on that path. titer? saw mega profits for shell, and now bp following on that path. very much so, record profits _ bp following on that path. very much so, record profits for _ bp following on that path. very much so, record profits for bp _ bp following on that path. very much so, record profits for bp as _ bp following on that path. very much so, record profits for bp as well - bp following on that path. very much so, record profits for bp as well as i so, record profits for bp as well as shell. they are clearly benefiting from the very high commodity prices that we saw especially towards the end of last year, especially for gas. in the old days quite unusual to see companies making more money from gas than they do from oil, but thatis from gas than they do from oil, but that is the way the world has turned in the last few months, clearly. with those huge profits there was an

outcry, and people are saying, well, let's tax more of those profits. that's what many opposition politicians have been calling for. the government of course have an energy duty, but do you think these big energy companies, do they feel slightly embarrassed by these huge profits? tt is slightly embarrassed by these huge rofits? , , slightly embarrassed by these huge rofits? , _ , slightly embarrassed by these huge rofits? , .y , ., ., profits? it is by its nature a volatile business, - profits? it is by its nature a volatile business, the - profits? it is by its nature a - volatile business, the commodity business. it is a business in which prices go up and down and there is not much you can do about that. they go through these cycles. but it is clearly politically difficult, and not only in the uk, there are calls for these kind of more stringent tax rates, tax rates clearly rising here, so it is kind of difficult for them to explain but the explanation would be that, in fact, they have underinvested in previous years, and

they do need this money to keep ploughing investment into new oil and gas projects to keep the world supply and to prevent disruption in oil and gas in the years ahead. let's talk, significantly, about what bp have been saying about how much oil and gas they think they are going to produce in future, because they have moved the goalposts on that, haven't they? the they have moved the goalposts on that, haven't they?— that, haven't they? the ceo of bp took u- that, haven't they? the ceo of bp took up the _ that, haven't they? the ceo of bp took up the post _ that, haven't they? the ceo of bp took up the post in _ that, haven't they? the ceo of bp took up the post in 2020, - that, haven't they? the ceo of bp took up the post in 2020, and - that, haven't they? the ceo of spj took up the post in 2020, and was seen as perhaps a fresh face, of a slightly younger generation and, he set out some ambitious targets. but, still sticking with the long—term goal of getting to net zero and 2050, but he is actually raining in some of those earlier targets, saying that they will continue producing oil and gas through this decade —— reining in, he said they

would be reducing by 40% the amount of oil and gas they would be producing, he has reined that in, it has been a bit of an about—face for the company, they have said that they will reduce production by 25% instead of 40%, so it is presentation of the difficult for him. like anak because we need that kind of energy and like the war in ukraine has shown, we need energy security. but ukraine has shown, we need energy securi . �* . . , ukraine has shown, we need energy securi .�* . ., ., security. but critics say that you 'ust want security. but critics say that you just want to _ security. but critics say that you just want to produce _ security. but critics say that you just want to produce more - security. but critics say that you just want to produce more oil. security. but critics say that you i just want to produce more oil and gas to make more money to make profits like today. bhd gas to make more money to make profits like today.— gas to make more money to make profits like today. and you get this rhetoric also _ profits like today. and you get this rhetoric also from _ profits like today. and you get this rhetoric also from the _ profits like today. and you get this rhetoric also from the british - rhetoric also from the british government, it is about an orderly energy transition, stressing energy security, people cannot be subject to these kind of disruptions that we have seen from russia. so, the

emphasis has changed. as for making more money then, yes, lily these are record profits. they will be saying that we will be reinvesting quite a bit of this money and returning some to the shareholders. tlick bit of this money and returning some to the shareholders.— to the shareholders. nick coleman, senior editor— to the shareholders. nick coleman, senior editor of _ to the shareholders. nick coleman, senior editor of s&p _ to the shareholders. nick coleman, senior editor of s&p global, - to the shareholders. nick coleman, senior editor of s&p global, thank i senior editor of s&p global, thank you for your time today. a 45—year—old man has been found guilty of the manslaughter by gross negligence of his teenage daughter — who was morbidly obese when she died at the family home in powys, in october 2020. 16—year—old kaylea weighed 22 stone and 13le. alun titford had told mold crown court that his partner was responsible for her care. her mother sarah lloyd—jones has already admitted the same charge. a funny, cheeky teenager. this was kaylea titford

at a pop concert a few years before her death. a spinal condition meant she needed a wheelchair, but she was fiercely independent, until, when the pandemic came, she, like everyone else, was forced to stay at home. she remained there from march 2020, until her death in october, immobile in bed, becoming morbidly, fatally obese, weighing nearly 23 stone. the police found her room was a dumping ground, her sheets were soiled, and there were flies and maggots. in court, kaylea's father, alun titford, said he was lazy and had let his daughter live in filthy conditions, but he tried to blame his partner, her mother, for her death. sarah lloyd jones had already admitted gross negligence manslaughter. when the country went into lockdown and kaylea's school shut down, she was cut off from the outside world and all the help

she used to receive. instead she became entirely dependent on her parents who, over the next six months, allow their daughter to become so unhealthy and overweight that, in the end, her body simply couldn't cope any more. the question of whether anything more could have been done to help kaylea hangs over this case. this is one of the most horrifying cases i have ever come across. sally holland was the children's commissioner for wales in 2020. she says that there were concerns then about vulnerable children not getting support in lockdown. we know that there is a risk when children are not seen directly. we have seen countless cases over the decades, where children have not been seen and we have later found out that they were in a desperate state. a review of kaylea's case and what was done to protect her has started. but first her parents face being sentenced for their role in her death. hywel griffith, bbc

news, mold crown court. the senior investigating officer jonathan rees said the scale of neglect in this case had been shocking. the conditions in which kaylea was found were abhorrent and indicated shocking neglect over a prolonged period of time, both environmentally and physically. an extensive police investigation included engagement with the crown prosecution service, along with medical, dental and environmental experts. this resulted in kaylea's parents being charged with gross negligence manslaughter. kaylea's mother, sarah lloyd jones, pleaded guilty to this charge in december, 2022. after a three—week trial, today at mold crown court, kaylea's father, alun titford, was found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter.

the circumstances of kaylea's death are tragic. this investigation has been extensive and at times harrowing, giving kaylea's age and the conditions in which she was living. yet my officers and partners have worked diligently and professionally throughout. the senior investigating officer in that harrowing case. we can go to a news conference now, lancashire police are holding a press conference on their search for the missing mother of two, nicola bulley. tt the missing mother of two, nicola bulle . ., , ., the missing mother of two, nicola

investigating officer working daily to comb through this enormous amount of information. this is normal in a missing person inquiry and does not indicate that there is any suspicious element to this story. the inquiry team remains fully open minded to any information that may indicate where nicola is, or what happened to her. some of these specific pieces of information and lines of inquiry that they have been undertaking include house—to—house in the village, looking at cctv, the various pieces of dash cam that have been submitted to the inquiry, identifying and tracing and speaking to key witnesses, a number of whom have come into the inquiry and been spoken to and giving valuable

information, digitaland spoken to and giving valuable information, digital and telephony, this includes nicola's fitbit and mobile phone which had been fully examined, and we have now identified around 700 vehicles that drove through the village on that morning on the 27th of january, at around 9:10am, 9:15am, and we are in the process of speaking to all of those drivers to find out if they have any dash cam footage, what they saw on that day or anything else that may be of value to the police inquiry. we remain very grateful to all of our partners in the wider community for the help they have given. in particular, and i have mentioned some of these in the past, this includes his majesty's coastguard, lancashire fire and rescue, lancaster area and bowland mountain

rescue, otherforces lancaster area and bowland mountain rescue, other forces and lancaster area and bowland mountain rescue, otherforces and national experts in different fields. as well as the specialist group international, war sgi, who have offered assistance to the family free of charge, and have been working under the direction of our local police search teams to help us. our work around the search of the river and the river bank continues, and this includes many pieces of different technical equipment including sonar, pole cameras, drones, underwater drones and so on. as well as specialist dogs. as i said on friday, the river is a complex area to search. it is not stillwater. it is a fast flowing, moving water that is tidal in parts. and, as acknowledged by

some of the many national search advisors and experts that we have been consulting throughout, this makes it particularly complex. we have already discounted particular areas of the river, but, as they are tidal, we have researched them to ensure that nothing has been washed back into those search areas. so this is why you may see some areas already searched being researched for no other reason than it is tidal. we have six people searching the river banks every day. these are specially trained search officers, who are very experienced both in missing people inquiries and in other inquiries, who are systemic 937, other inquiries, who are systemic gay, methodically searching the river bank and the open ground. ——

systematically. we have a number of divers from the regional underwater search unit, and they are working with the other partners and sgi to search the river itself. throughout this investigation, as i have said, we remain fully open to any information, any information, that is credible and factual, to try and trace nicola and bring answers for herfamily but, it trace nicola and bring answers for her family but, it does trace nicola and bring answers for herfamily but, it does remain our belief that nicola, sadly, fell into the river and that this is a missing person inquiry, and it is important to stress that any information that comes in that indicates otherwise is being check out all the time, and negated, as each inquiry comes up. we are not closed in any way, to any particular line of inquiry, and we remain genuinely open to that. all

these extensive inquiries, however, have so far not found anything of note. any indications of physical objects in the river, such as natural debris, trees and the like, have been already identified by the original divers and discounted, so further sightings of that debris are items that we knew of already in the river bed or along the river bank. we would ask that people in the wider community, particularly on social media and online, do not speculate as to what may have happened to nicola. this is particularly hurtful to her family, to her children, to our partner, paul, to her parents, her sister and friends. because it is not helpful

to them, it is distressing, and it is distracting for the police inquiry. nor is it helpful if people, particularly if they come from outside of the area, take it upon themselves to take the law into their own hands by trying to, for example, break into empty property. they may mean well, they may want to help, but they can help in thinking back if they were in the area to information they may have that is of relevance to the police and holding a family in their thoughts, but we will not tolerate online abuse of anyone, including innocent witnesses, members of family and friends, of local businesses, or of criminal damage of property and we will be taking a strong line on that, as you would expect. we have

engaged with and work shoulder to shoulder with, a number of very specific experts as i mentioned earlier. these include the national crime agency, who have reviewed all of the police investigation so far, and have not identified any other lines of inquiry other than what we had already identified. likewise, we are working with the national search and adviser, the police national search advisor, who again, has not identified anything in the search strategy or area, the physical parameters, that we have not already explored. and i say this to reassure the local community in particular, as well as nicola's family at all possible lines of inquiry, search, or investigation, are being exhausted. i'mjust or investigation, are being exhausted. i'm just going to

reiterate for those who may not have caught some of the earlier detail, some of the key elements of this case that made jog somebody�*s memory if they were about on friday morning, 27th of january. if they were about on friday morning, 27th ofjanuary. we know that nicola was last seen on the upper field that nicola was last seen on the upperfield next that nicola was last seen on the upper field next to the river wye, here in st michael's at 9:10am. she had taken her spaniel willow out for a walk and cctv that we have looked at shows that nicola did not leave either the allotment lane exit of that riverside area, nor the road water caravan park which has been discounted. norany water caravan park which has been discounted. nor any of the other locked areas covered by cctv. as i said friday, this only leaves the path along a5 lane onto the a586,

but the more of those 700 or so vehicle drivers that we can identify and who can confirm that they have either cctv or dash cam footage or saw anything on that morning will help us to close that very small 93p- help us to close that very small gap. we can say with confidence, therefore, that we believe nicola remained in the riverside area. i understand that this is frustrating for those observing the investigation, when the river has been searched and nicola has not been searched and nicola has not been found. that does not mean, however, that nicola was not in the river at some point, due to the tidalflow of the river at some point, due to the tidal flow of the river. for this reason, our search of the river and river banks extends out to the sea, particularly the area from knott end

to morecambe. so we continue to appeal to drivers on that morning and i would remind people of nicola's description and clothing she was wearing, and her movements on that day. nicola is a white lady, 5.3, with shoulder—length brown hair. she speaks with essex accent. she was last seen wearing a knee—length black giletjacket and underneath n engelbert strauss black long sleeve jacket, to the waist. she was wearing blackjeans, long, green walking socks tap into her genes, and the green, ankle length wellies, with her hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing a pale blue fitbit. i have a small number of details extra to the timeline provided on friday that fills in some of the gaps on the morning that nicola disappeared. they include

that at 8:26am, nicola left her home address with her children, and i know that there has been cctv images from her door bell footage that have been released, that mayjog somebody�*s memory. at 8:40am, nicola dropped her children off at school here in st michael's. at 8:43am she was seen on the river path towards the gates and the bench on the lower field. at 8:47am, someone who knows nicola saw her walking along the lower field with her dog, nicola saw her walking along the lowerfield with her dog, and nicola saw her walking along the lower field with her dog, and the two dogs briefly interacted together. at 8:53am, she sent an e—mail to her boss, at 8:59am, she sent a message to a friend. at 9:01am logged onto a teams call and at 9:10am we have the last confirmed

sighting of nicola on the upper field, walking her dog. we know from telephony work that her phone was located on the bench at 9.30. at 9.30 the team score ended but nicola's phone stay logged in and at 9.33 approximately her phone and at 9.33 approximately her phone and her dog were found by another witness. that witness does not know her. i would ask people to dig back into their memory 11 days ago to that morning and to phone on 101, or if there is a sighting of nicola on 999, or i do not have an e—mail address for direct contact into the investigation room for us to receive e—mail. details of this are published on our website.

into the river. clearly mr folding isn't included within all the investigation detail any more than the members of the public are that i'm briefing through these sorts of press conferences. so we would ask that we be allowed time to continue with those inquiries and to release to the public only what is relevant for them at that time. i will take another question. tt is for them at that time. i will take another question.— for them at that time. i will take another question. it is the 12th day that nicola bulley _ another question. it is the 12th day that nicola bulley has _ another question. it is the 12th day that nicola bulley has been - another question. it is the 12th day i that nicola bulley has been missing. everyday— that nicola bulley has been missing. everyday concerns will increase no doubt _ everyday concerns will increase no doubt for — everyday concerns will increase no doubt for everyone. how confident are you _ doubt for everyone. how confident are you that your team will find nicola — are you that your team will find nicola alive? it are you that your team will find nicola alive?— nicola alive? it is 12 days since nicola alive? it is 12 days since nicola has _ nicola alive? it is 12 days since nicola has been _ nicola alive? it is 12 days since nicola has been missing - nicola alive? it is 12 days since nicola has been missing in - nicola alive? it is 12 days since i nicola has been missing in clearly 15 kilometre stretch of river is a complex, difficult and moving body of water to search. i do believe that we will find nicola but the

the former metropolitan police officer and serial rapist, david carrick, has been told he'll serve a minimum of 30 years in prison. carrick had pleaded guilty to carrying out dozens of sex attacks on women — including 24 counts of rape while he was a serving officer. one of his victims said she felt she had 'encountered evil�* after being raped by carrick. thejudge said he'd preyed on his victims over a period of two decades, in a monstrous breach of trust for a police officer. our correspondent helen wilkinson has been at southwark crown court all day and sent us this update. this has been a two day sentencing hearing here this has been a two—day sentencing hearing here at southwark crown court, and the details that we have heard have been extremely graphic, extremely harrowing. you can only think of what it must be like for some of his victims who were here in court to have to listen through again to the horrific offences that he committed

against his 12 victims. david carrick sat in a glass dock here today for his sentencing hearing, some of his victims, as i said, sat around five metres away behind him wanting to see the man who committed these offences, and who caused them so much trauma, and still they go through that, to see him being punished. well, thejudge, mrs justice cheema—grubb sentenced him earlier today, as you mentioned, and she also spoke about the victims in this case. when your arrest and charge for that offence in october 2021 was publicised victims began to provide the accounts i have summarised. i have read the statements made by 10 of the 12 victims, both asked of their experiences and the impact it has had. there is powerful and compelling evidence of irretrievable devastation in the lives of those you abused. survivors of rape and coercive

control react and cope in different ways. those differences are apparent in the statements. each one is traumatised. one woman feels as if she has been lost for the last 19 years, encapsulating her experience with you as an encounter with evil which has caused long—lasting psychological harm. denial, anger, hatred, betrayal, shame, self—blame and fear of being labelled a victim are common emotions. thejudge continued the judge continued with her sentencing remarks. david carrick didn't flinch at all when she was going through those. she then continued and asked him to stand in the dock, and then she continued to hand down her sentence, and she told carrick that it would be 30 years

minimum before he is considered for parole. your offending was over 17 years and encompassed 12 victims. moreover, the singular element which elevates your offending as a brutal serial rapist into that company is the principal aggravating feature of the explicit or implicit use of your occupation to entice, reassure or intimidate your victims. i have to bear in mind that my function is to impose appropriate punishment, and when that is served, the parole board will decide how to protect the public thereafter. decades will have passed before that time comes. this has been a complex and huge investigation for hertfordshire police. hertfordshire is where david carrick committed most of his offences and that's where he lived.

moore outside the court after carrick was sentenced. i'm pleased and relieved to be standing here today knowing that as a result of the courage and the victims and the relentless hard work of my team, a serious and prolific sex offender is now safely behind bars. this has been one of the longest and most complicated investigations i've been involved in. it is testament to my officers' unwavering and dedicated pursuit forjustice that david carrick has been handed down the sentence today. each of the victims was prepared to face their ordeal and face carrick in court. i would like to thank the crown prosecution team at thames chiltern who worked side by side with the exceptional team of lawyers since october 2021, building a strong and compelling case. our investigation does not stop here, however, that we have set up a special reporting portal to allow people

to continue to share information with us. this portal will remain open and details can be found on the hertfordshire police website. i would urge anyone who thinks they have been a victim of david carrick to come forward. we still want to hear from you and we will support you. as a serving police officer david carrick has brought shame on the profession and was not fit to wear the uniform. but i hope that our determination to get justice for the victims in this case will go some way to reassuring the public that nobody is above the law and we will bring people like david carrick tojustice. you've just heard from dc! iain moor from hertfordshire police who said he believes there may be more women who have been victims of david carrick. let me bring you some words from the commissioner of the metropolitan police after carrick was sentenced here earlier today at southwark crown court. the commissioner has vowed to earn back the trust and confidence of women. he acknowledges that the force has let down women across london, but that it is more determined than ever to put it right. i think today and yesterday

the focus not only on the punishment that carrick has received, a minimum term of 30 years in prison before he will be considered for parole, but for his 12 victims, the women, who were degraded. the sexual offences, the serious sexual offences he committed against them, they will have to live with that for the rest of their lives. that's helena wilkinson, our correspondent at southwark crown court. she mentioned the comments from the metropolitan police commissioner mark rowley. let's listen to what he had to say. david carrick's crimes were unspeakably evil. the treatments that he subjected his victims and the survivors to was truly degrading and inhumane. their courage has been extraordinary in coming forward and helping today him be brought tojustice.

their courage is admirable but we in policing have failed. he should not have been a police officer. there were many signs that we should have joined together and he should have been rooted out during his career as a police officer. it is upsetting to be stood here talking about this, and i apologise again to the victims, and indeed i apologise to the women of london, many of whom i'm sure will be troubled and their trust in policing will be shaken by these events. we recognise as police officers that we have a big task ahead if we are to regain that trust. i have tens of thousands of colleagues, men and women, who really care about policing london and recognise the scale of that challenge and what needs to be done.

i've been really clear from day one as commissioner four months ago that one of the challenges for me was to root out those that corrupt the integrity of the metropolitan police, and this case and others like it illustrate that challenge. today is not a day for going through action plans. today is a day for reflection and apologising to victims. but i have been very clear, we will update at the end of march with the progress we have made as we go step—by—step to tackle these issues and remove those that shouldn't be serving as police officers. we will not resolve this overnight, but as we lift the stones and deal with what is underneath it you will see progress month by month and quarter by quarter. i will finish where i started. i apologise to the women of london. i repeat my admiration for the women who came forward and i promise the people of london we will do better and we will give you the police service you deserve.

i will take two or three questions. you have spoken about trying to get the integrity back of the met but after harbouring this monster in your midst for so long, aren't you worried that women will never trust the met again? people will be very shaken by this, i completely recognise that. we are determined to tackle this. most of our people are great people but we have been too weak in getting rid of the ones who aren't, so you will see month by month changes as we remove those individuals. you can report on that. i know my words today aren't enough, people have heard me talk about plans and they will want to see the action we take over the forthcoming months and they will see that. mark rowley, the commission of the metropolitan police. separately, a serving met police officer has been charged with rape. pcjorden brown, attached to the central east command unit is accused on with rape and three counts of actual bodily harm. he's due to attend barkingside

magistrates court tomorrow. he's been suspended from duty. a 45—year—old man has been found guilty of the manslaughter by gross negligence of his teenage daughter — who was morbidly obese when she died at the family home in powys, in october 2020. 16—year—old kaylea weighed 22 stone and 13 pounds. she was found in conditions described as unfit for any animal. alun titford had told mold crown court that his partner was responsible for her care. her mother sarah lloyd—jones has already admitted the same charge. a funny, cheeky teenager. this was kaylea titford at a pop concert a few years before her death. a spinal condition meant she needed a wheelchair, but she was fiercely independent, until, when the pandemic came, she, like everyone else, was forced to stay at home. she remained there from march 2020,

until her death in october, immobile in bed, becoming morbidly, fatally obese, weighing nearly 23 stone. the police found her room was a dumping ground, her sheets were soiled, there were flies and maggots. in court, kaylea's father, alun titford, said he was lazy and had let his daughter live in filthy conditions, but he tried to blame his partner, her mother, for her death. sarah lloyd—jones had already admitted gross negligence manslaughter. when the country went into lockdown and kaylea's school shut down, she was cut off from the outside world and all the help she used to receive. instead she became entirely dependent on her parents who, over the next six months, allow their daughter to become so unhealthy and overweight that, in the end, her body simply couldn't cope any more. the question of whether anything more could have been done to help

kaylea hangs over this case. i think this is one of the most horrifying cases i have ever come across. sally holland was the children's commissionerfor wales, in 2020. she says there were concerns then about vulnerable children not getting support in lockdown. we know that there is a risk when children are not seen and spoken to directly. we have seen countless cases over the decades, where children have not been seen and we have later found out that they were in a desperate state. a review of kaylea's case and what was done to protect her has started. but first her parents face being sentenced for their role in her death. hywel griffith, bbc news, mold crown court. the senior investigating officer jonathan rees said the scale of neglect was 'shocking'. the conditions in which kaylea was found were abhorrent and indicated

shocking neglect over a prolonged period of time. both environmentally and physically. an extensive police investigation included engagement with the crown prosecution service along with medical, dental and environmental experts. this resulted in kaylea's parents being charged with gross negligence manslaughter. kaylea's mother sarah lloyd—jones pleaded guilty to this charge in december 2022. after a three—week trial, today at mold crown court, kaylea's father, alun titford, was found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter. the circumstances of kaylea's death are tragic. this investigation has been extensive and at times harrowing, given kaylea's age and the conditions in which she was living. yet my officers and partners have

worked diligently and professionally throughout. let's turn our attention to westminster where the prime minister has announced a mini reshuffle of his cabinet. grant shapps is now secretary of a newly formed energy, security and net zero department. and greg hands has been named as the new conservative party chairman. let's go to our political correspondent ione wells who is in downing street and who can talk us through the latest details of that reshuffle. changes of departmental titles or names of departments, if you like, and a few changes of personnel. what does it all boiled down to? what does it mean? same personnel. what does it all boiled down to? what does it mean? some of the new appointments _ down to? what does it mean? some of the new appointments were _ down to? what does it mean? some of the new appointments were not - down to? what does it mean? some of the new appointments were not hugelyj the new appointments were not hugely expected, we knew rishi sunak would have to appoint a new conservative party chairman after nadhim zahawi

was sacked recently over that row about his tax affairs. he's been replaced by a close ally and friend rishi sunak greg hands who has a pretty mammoth task on his hands. he will be the man who was responsible for trying to get conservatives in good shape as a party ahead of the local elections in england coming up in may, given that the current ratings in the voter opinion polls have not been very good for some time. perhaps less expected were some of the big shake—ups rishi sunak is made two government departments themselves also one of the changes he has made is creating a new department for energy and net zero which will be headed up by grant shapps. with energy bills so high at the moment and also lots of pressure to announce how the government is going to hit its net zero targets, get carbon emissions down, he has a pretty big task on his hands too. rishi sunak has also announced a new department for science, innovation and technology. earlier today when the prime minister was speaking to

journalists, he said the creation of this role and the department for energy were partly to hit some of his targets of growing the economy, creating newjobs, but also trying to get inflation down too. itheihat creating new jobs, but also trying to get inflation down too. what we need to do — to get inflation down too. what we need to do is _ to get inflation down too. what we need to do is deliver _ to get inflation down too. what we need to do is deliver for _ to get inflation down too. what we need to do is deliver for the - need to do is deliver for the country _ need to do is deliver for the country. at the beginning of this year i _ country. at the beginning of this year i set — country. at the beginning of this year i set out five priorities, to halve _ year i set out five priorities, to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce _ halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and to stop _ reduce debt, cut waiting lists and to stop the boats. the changes to the government i have announced today— the government i have announced today will— the government i have announced today will help us deliver on those promises — today will help us deliver on those promises for the british people, particularly the creation of a brand—new first of its kind department for energy security and net department for energy security and not zero _ department for energy security and net zero so we can really focus on that issue. — net zero so we can really focus on that issue, bring down people's energy— that issue, bring down people's energy bills, produce more energy here at— energy bills, produce more energy here at home and make sure that that energy— here at home and make sure that that energy is— here at home and make sure that that energy is clean and renewable as we transition _ energy is clean and renewable as we transition to net zero. i know that's— transition to net zero. i know that's a — transition to net zero. i know that's a priority the country has, it is a _ that's a priority the country has, it is a priority of mine and today's changes— it is a priority of mine and today's changes will help us deliver it. said _ changes will help us deliver it. said the — changes will help us deliver it. said the prime minister there says his restructuring will help reach some of the government's priorities. he'sjust some of the government's priorities.

he's just held his first cabinet meeting with that new group of cabinet ministers in downing street behind me. they have alljust been leaving now for the first meeting after the reshuffle. one person who has not changed job is the deputy prime minister ofjustice secretary dominic raab. when he left a few minutes ago from this door he was greeted by shouts from journalists here about whether he plans to stay in post, given he is currently facing an investigation into bullying allegations from three different government departments, which he has strongly denied. rishi sunak has clarified that he wants to wait for the independent investigation to conclude before he makes any further decisions about that role for dominic raab as deputy prime minister and justice secretary. but certainly questions about his future are still hanging overin about his future are still hanging over in westminster today too. tahe over in westminster today too. ione wells, thank — over in westminster today too. ione wells, thank you. _ over in westminster today too. lone wells, thank you. let's talk through these changes, with mo hussein, former chief press officer in downing street. good to have you with us. do you think the sort of changes, these changes in the names

of departments, few changes of personnel, are they going to cut through to the voters at all? t don't think so, not on the face of it. these are very internal changes and they matter a lot in whitehall and they matter a lot in whitehall and when you are in government, but i think what voters want to see is outcomes. and they want to see delivery. it helps in the sense that the prime minister wants to show particularly action on his priorities and the fact he is determined to deliver them, so he's trying to put the people and the resources in the right place. but i think taking a step back, if you are not in the westminster village you are probably going to think, this is perhapsjust moving the deck chairs, people in differentjobs around the cabinet table, and actually what we need to see is promises being made good and delivery of the issues that matter to them, primarily dealing with the cost of living crisis. fight! to them, primarily dealing with the cost of living crisis.— cost of living crisis. and of course. — cost of living crisis. and of course. the _ cost of living crisis. and of course, the tory _ cost of living crisis. and of course, the tory party - cost of living crisis. and of| course, the tory party have cost of living crisis. and of. course, the tory party have a cost of living crisis. and of- course, the tory party have a big fight on their hands to win the next election. they have a new

conservative party chairman who has a big job on his hands, hasn't he? he really has. greg hands, an ally of the prime minister, experienced minister, he's worked under several different prime ministers in departments, so i think he is seen as trusted and he is seen as somebody who can deliver. he is also crucially trusted among mps as well, which this job really needs. but as you say, he has a huge challenge on his hands so close to local elections coming up and the expected losses within the conservative party will get, there is always the issue, is the chairman directly responsible? i think even he will only have been in thejob responsible? i think even he will only have been in the job for a few weeks people may cut him some slack but a bit of a poisoned chalice. there were other people who perhaps didn't want to take on the role. has didn't want to take on the role. as we were hearing from our political

correspondent, question marks and doubts hanging over the future of dominic raab in particular, it is not impossible there could be another reshuffle necessitated quite shortly depending on the outcome of the investigation into his behaviour in government. the investigation into his behaviour in government-— the investigation into his behaviour in government. yes, indeed. this is wh the in government. yes, indeed. this is why the timing _ in government. yes, indeed. this is why the timing of— in government. yes, indeed. this is why the timing of this _ in government. yes, indeed. this is why the timing of this i _ in government. yes, indeed. this is why the timing of this i think will i why the timing of this i think will be striking for some people because when you are in number 10 a reshuffle is a tool that you have to use quite sparingly. it does help to look like you are being re—energised and you are resetting the government's priorities and the prime minister crucially showing ministers that he is the one in charge. some of these things i think are good ideas, focusing much more on science, and interest of the prime minister, the growth potential that has, or perhaps there was a feeling that the business department as it previously was was too focused on energy, so separating the two of them may well be a good thing. but if you keep on reshuffling and keep on making these changes, it does look quite insular, you lose connection with the public and the

voters who are once again looking for outcomes rather than just these internal changes and i suspect depending on the outcome of this investigation there may well be other changes to follow. let’s investigation there may well be other changes to follow. let's step back a minute _ other changes to follow. let's step back a minute and _ other changes to follow. let's step back a minute and ask _ other changes to follow. let's step back a minute and ask how- other changes to follow. let's step back a minute and ask how you i other changes to follow. let's step| back a minute and ask how you see the performance of rishi sunak as prime minister since he took over command what are your views of him and the way he's running the country? t and the way he's running the count ? ~' ,., and the way he's running the count ? ~ ,., ., �*, and the way he's running the count ? ~ ., �*, , country? i think so far he's been leadin: a country? i think so far he's been leading a government _ country? i think so far he's been leading a government by - country? i think so far he's been i leading a government by management almost, just trying to manage issues and problems, a lot of them are problems he inherited to be fair to him, things he forewarned injuly, if he'd become the prime minister in july if he'd become the prime minister in july i think things would have been wholly different. so he's been trying to manage, and what people are looking to see command part of todayis are looking to see command part of today is about showing much more a plan for growth, a plan that is aspirational, isn'tjust dealing with problems of today but looking

ahead to tomorrow. whether he can make that shift, i think is going to be the litmus test. so moving from just here are all the problems to what is the vision and what does he himself stand for? there was a lot of criticism towards the end of last year that people were not really seeing him or hearing from him in terms of what he wanted, so he is clearly trying to address that, but again, changing people, creating departments is one thing, and it is a step, but as the outcomes and what it means to people, how does it improve their lives, is what will matter particularly at the ballot box. ~ ., , , ., matter particularly at the ballot box. a, ,, ., box. mo hussein, former downing street chief _ box. mo hussein, former downing street chief press _ box. mo hussein, former downing street chief press officer, - box. mo hussein, former downing street chief press officer, good i box. mo hussein, former downing street chief press officer, good to | street chief press officer, good to talk to you. talking about looking ahead to tomorrow. why don't we do that now with ben roach and the weather forecast? that now with ben roach and the weatherforecast? fog has been causing travel problems in some central and southern parts of england and east wales during today will stop.

much of the fog clearing to leave sunny spells through the afternoon. but a band of cloud moving through northern ireland, southern scotland, northwest england, the odd spot of rain with that brighter skies to the north, temperatures between six and 11 degrees. now overnight, this band of cloud makes very little progress just sitting in place across north west england, southern scotland, northern ireland, fog forming again across wales, central and southern parts of england, where a touch of frost is likely. in fact, in one or two places in the countryside, we're looking at lows of minus five or six. so watch out for that fog first thing tomorrow morning. but then england and wales will see some spells of sunshine, more cloud for parts of northern ireland, northwest scotland, rain later and a strengthening wind will see wind gusts of around 75 miles per hour in the far north west of scotland. later in the day, the winds far lighter further south and top temperatures between seven and ten degrees. bye for now. hello, this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines... no former metropolitan police

non—league team left in the cup, but this match has global interest. in california and north wales, they hope for great things from the sequel. let�*s see if they get through and if they turn up. we will be back with more sport later on. more than 5,000 people are now known to have died after yesterday�*s devastating earthquakes that hit turkey and syria. many more have been injured, as thousands of buildings collapsed. the homeless are now having to endure freezing temperatures without shelter, as rescue teams and local residents scramble to free others trapped in the rubble, with some people being heard crying out in pain for help. the uk hasjoined dozens of countries, in promising aid for turkey�*s gaziantep province, near the epicentre of the quakes. with more, here�*s richard galpin.

almost 36 hours after the huge earthquake struck this region, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble of hundreds of collapsed buildings. this little girl was found in the syrian town of jandairis. the cries for help from the many people still trapped can also be heard in the rubble—strewn streets of south—eastern turkey. adding to the difficulty of the rescue operations is the cold weather and winter storms. on top of this, many people have nowhere to go to for shelter. their homes have been destroyed and fear of more aftershocks is

also deterring many from returning to what remains of their houses. the world health organization is appealing for rapid action by the international community. it is now a race against time. every minute, every hour that passes, the chances of finding survivors alive diminishes. there are already 5000 people confirmed dead. the world health organization has estimated up to 23 million people could potentially be affected by this disaster, including 5 million vulnerable people. translation: we are sitting here in the cold and rain, i just waiting for the rescuers to start digging. translation: i slept in the car, hoping my children _ would get out of the building. i have seven children under the rubble.

offers of aid are coming in from around the world, including many charities and voluntary organisations. but one veteran british aid worker on his way to help said the dangers have not yet passed. they can expect this to go on for weeks, if not a month. that will be the challenge for the rescue efforts and the local population — every time they galvanise themselves to go back to their houses, there is another aftershock, so people will become fixed in what will become camps of internally displaced persons, so they will need shelter, water, food at some point and those being rescued will need medical support. amongst the thousands of buildings which have been destroyed are businesses, schools and hospitals as well as homes. this fire in the turkish port of iskenderun is thought to be

another impact of the earthquake. all operations there have now come to a halt. aid agencies have reported the devastation is so widespread that it will take time to assess the damage and ascertain the true scale of the help needed. richard galpin, bbc news. our middle east correspondent, tom bateman, spoke to us from the city of iskerandun, in southern turkey. i was just talking to a family who are unable to go to there very badly damaged building here. and they told me that they have four friends missing in that building, and one confirmed dead but the big problem for them is this is a grandmother with children and young grandchildren. she said that there had been virtually no aid at all apart from a small, private group that was able to bring some bread

and tomatoes this morning. we also saw a small child handing outjumpers and trainers to people, but it was creating a very desperate scene. and the other thing to point out about this town is the way that this has become a series of disasters on top of each other. not only do you have many collapsed buildings, you can see behind me here, there plume of smoke rising onto the taurus mountains over there, and this is from a port fire. the fire started in containers — we drove past it, they look like gas containers — that began as the earthquake struck, so a whole series of problems, and no apparent delivery of any form of aid here so far. all of this while president erdogan declares a state of emergency in ten provinces including this one. that was tom bateman reporting from turkey. let�*s look at the situation

regime held areas, and the opposition held areas, but there is no equipment going on, no shelters for people, and it is freezing cold, as well as no fuel to maintain all the equipment to take up, let alone that there are no kind of such equipment in that area. people who we are speaking to draw a horrific picture. they are talking about when you walk through the north—west areas in idlib, you can hear people pleading from under the rubble and you feel you cannot do anything about it, but there are thousands of people like that and no way to take them out. you can hear the noise of trapped people on a daily level. no crossings from turkey for different reasons, because it is stopped either by turkey or by the regime itself, we are talking about 800

kilometre, 500 miles, borders between both countries, and half of that has been hit with this earthquake. then the problem is politically, many people especially in the west, many countries, sorry, sanctioned the regime in syria. now, how this cooperation will work? in such situations, although people think human nature might be about cooperation but there is always exploitation between different players in such a situation. then looking to syria, i think the death toll is increasing as the locals were telling us, and the situation will be poorer. today our social media they were spreading pictures of the aid coming through to turkey, while nunn is going to syria, for obvious reasons of course but that has an effect. tt obvious reasons of course but that has an effect-— has an effect. it is so difficult to compare. _ has an effect. it is so difficult to compare. but — has an effect. it is so difficult to compare, but devastation i has an effect. it is so difficult to compare, but devastation as i has an effect. it is so difficult to compare, but devastation as it. has an effect. it is so difficult to i compare, but devastation as it both countries, but as you say, it is

body was found at one of the country�*s most prestigious private schools, was killed by her husband. it�*s thought george pattison shot his wife emma and daughter lettie before turning the gun on himself. their bodies were discovered in the grounds of epsom college in surrey. bhavani vadde sent this report. there�*s been a significant update in this investigation. surrey police now believe that the head teacher of epsom college was shot dead by her husband, who then killed their daughter before taking his own life with the same gun at the family home in the grounds of this private school. the bodies of emma pattison, her husband george and their seven—year—daughter lettie were found in the early hours of sunday morning. george pattison had a gun licence which had been recently updated. the bbc understands that mrs pattison made a distressed call to a family member some time late on saturday evening, but by the time that relative arrived, all three people were dead. now, emma pattison became the first female head

of this prestigious private school five months ago after six years as head teacher at croydon high school. tributes have been pouring in for her, including on social media. she is described as a warm and caring soul, a bright star, an inspiring leader and a fabulous role model. epsom college said the community would be coming together to process the news, grieve and pay their respects to their wonderful head. postmortem examinations are expected to take place later this week. bp has become the latest energy giant to report record annual profits. the company made £23 billion last year, more than double the amount in 2021, due in part to the surge in oil and gas prices caused by the war in ukraine. i have been discussing those profits

clearly politically difficult and not only in the uk. but, because for these kind of, you know, more stringent tax rates clearly rising here, so it is kind of difficult for them to explain, but the explanation would be that in fact they have underinvested in past years, and they do need this money to keep ploughing investment in the new oil and gas projects, to keep the world supply, and to prevent disruptions in oil and gas in the years ahead. nick coleman, from the analytics company s&p global. it comes as rising energy costs have left many people struggling to pay the bills. but the bbc has learned that as much as £50 million of government money to help families, has been left unclaimed. customers with traditional pre—payment meters could have cashed in vouchers for extra support, but many haven�*t been used.

our cost of living correspondent, colletta smith reports. 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 three—quarters of a million 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. make sure your details are correct on the system because you need to bring in id to cash in your voucher, so make sure your name and address match up with the system, then they should post you a new one or send it by e—mail and you can use that one within three months. emma is one of those frustrated to have missed out on the cash. i have not received the october voucher, we are now into february and i had still not received it. i have been in touch with british gas on the phone i know few occasions and they keep blaming it on royal mail, i have also written a complaint. we have not got anywhere with that. british gas have said they contact emma to help her but others say they need to do more to make sure the vouchers are getting through, including trying to reach customers three times, by more than one means, including posts, e—mails and text. citizens advice say that it�*s not happening at the moment.

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 this 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. energy companies are already in hot water for the way they treat pre—payment customers, but they have told us they are fully committed to ensuring vouchers are delivered and redeemed and to make the support scheme as successful as possible. but right now, some of the most vulnerable are out of pocket at a time they need it most. colletta smith, bbc news. thousands of nurses are on strike for a second day in a row over pay and working conditions. a third of nhs trusts in england are affected by the strike — which is being made by members of the royal college of nursing. the government says it can�*t afford pay increases demanded

for this year. the chairman of the bbc, richard sharp, has denied he gave boris johnson financial advice when he was prime minister. he�*s been appearing at a commons select committee after claims he helped mrjohnson secure a loan of up to £800,000 — before being appointed as the bbc�*s chair. the government has previously said mr sharp was appointed on merit. this year marks the 75th anniversary of the lp, and the value of vinyl sales is now officially outstripping cds for the first time in more than 30 years. it means business is booming for record sellers, and it�*s led to some vinyl success for one welsh band. lucy owen reports. the crackle of the needle on vinyl. for some, there is nothing like it. when the cd appeared, though, it looked like the end of records. but, decades later, scratch that! this is a third record fair at a theatre

in newport and each one gets bigger and bigger, with hundreds of people coming to snap up their favourite artists on vinyl. you find cool things on vinyl because they are so much older and you get more vintage stuff. there�*s something nice about owning a record and it does sound lovely. last year we bought £115 million worth of old—style albums as sales in the uk increased by 11%. we are getting a lot more young people coming in now. but all ages, people buying back their record collections that they got rid of and then moved to cd, through to young people buying their first. and, with superstar artist like harry styles and taylor swift also promoting their albums on vinyl, sales have been rocketing. you can really see the shift in demographics that — buying into and enjoying vinyl. you get to have a tangible piece of product that allows you to connect with the artist in a way that you properly can't do with many other formats.

and i think that's something that young people have potentially missed out on when they were growing up in the kind of digital era, and are now discovering it and finding that it's a special way to connect with the artist that they love. last month, cbc from pontypridd scored a top 20 vinyl album. you can listen to anything on spotify but if you have purchased it yourself, and the luxury of putting that vinyl on and dropping the needle onto it. so, whether you are enjoying the vinyl revival or for the first time, it looks like records are not being replaced any time soon. sold all mine years ago! now it�*s time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. some of us were greeted by frost and fog first thing this morning.

in fact, i say first thing this morning. some of the fog across southern, central parts of england and eastern wales have been very reluctant to clear, causing some travel problems. further north and west, not fog, but cloud, a band of cloud sinking its way slowly south—eastwards, bringing just the odd spot of rain and some brighter skies, the winds picking up a bit in the far north of scotland. where that fog has been clearing down towards the south we are starting to see some spells of sunshine. temperatures generally between 6—11 celsius. overnight, this band of cloud really just sits across parts of north—west england, southern scotland and northern ireland, maybe giving the odd spot of drizzle, the winds strengthening in the north—west of scotland but, further south across wales, central and southern england, we will see quite a widespread frost, with lows of potentially —6 where we are under this area of high pressure, with this frontal system approaching from the north—west making for some very different weather, some much more turbulent weather, particularly in parts of scotland. so, fog could again be a problem tomorrow morning across parts of the midlands, wales, down towards the south of england.

some of that fog dense and slow to clear. but then, actually, across england and wales, we should see some spells of sunshine, whereas for northern ireland and scotland, we will see a bit more cloud fringing in, rain into the far north—west and the winds across the northern half of the uk will be strengthening with gusts of up to 75 mph possible in parts of north—west scotland. temperature—wise tomorrow, looking at highs of between 7—10 celsius, but if you did get stuck under fog for any length of time in the south it could stay colder than that. now, this weather front as it sinks southwards and eastwards during wednesday night into thursday, will weaken, with just a band of cloud left behind in the far on thursday morning, but, some wintry showers pushing on across parts of scotland, much of the snow will be falling over higher ground, bringing rain and sleet to lower levels with those wintry showers spreading through thursday, a lot of dry weather through the day and highs of 8—9 degrees. a change to the feel of the weather as we head to the end of the week. high pressure builds to the south, frontal systems try to push in from the north—west, and this will bring us more of a westerly wind,

feeding milder air across the uk, particularly high temperatures on friday in northern ireland and scotland, with maybe highs of 12—13 celsius.

this is bbc news. the headlines — more than five thousand people are known to have died in the earthquakes which struck turkey and syria, as rescuers desperately dig through rubble to find survivors. the former met police officer, david carrick, one of the uk�*s most prolific sex offenders, is sentenced to a minimum of 30 years injail. the met commissioner described carrick as evil and promised reform. he should not have been a police officer. there were many signs that we should have joined together. he should have been rooted out as his career as a police officer. a 45—year—old man is found guilty of the manslaughter by gross negligence of his daughter. 16—year—old kaylea was morbidly

obese when she died at the family home in october 2020.
