6:02 am
and survivors trapped beneath it succumb to bitterly cold weather. the earthquakes were the biggest in the region since 1939, and they triggered dozens of aftershocks along the east anatolian fault line, which is one of the world's most active areas for seismic movement. this is the scene in the turkish city of sanliurfa where rescue efforts are continuing this morning. in a moment we will speak to our correspondent anna foster, who is in the city of marash for us. first, this report by howard johnson... the desperate search for survivors continued overnight, often in bitterly cold conditions. but with each hour that passes, the chance of finding more people alive diminishes. in worst hit hatay, turkey, a grim scene brightened by the smiles of rescuers. a woman has just been pulled alive
6:03 am
from a collapsed building. elsewhere, relatives call out to their loved ones, assuring the trapped that help is on its way. the first 7.8 magnitude quake struck near gaziantep in the early hours of monday, followed by a 7.5 magnitude tremor hours later. whole streets reduced to rubble in less than a minute. syrian authorities have reported deaths as far south as hama, more than 150 miles from the epicentre. in this war torn country, there are limited emergency services, so relatives are digging with their hands to try to save the buried. translation: we need excavators. we need equipment. we don't have anything. some, overwhelmed by heartbreak, like this man, desperately searching for his wife. translation: fatima, where are you?
6:04 am
rescuers in the country say there's still hope more people can be found. for sure, there are people still alive right now and waiting for us, waiting for help, waiting for our efforts to reach them. three britons are among the thousands missing, according to the foreign office. a team of 77 uk search and rescue specialists, equipped with concrete breaking tools and four sniffer dogs, arrived in turkey yesterday. in the uk, community centres continue to gather donations to send to those in need. king charles has sent his special prayers to victims of the earthquake, and the rescue teams working tirelessly to help them. howard johnson, bbc news.
6:05 am
0ur middle east correspondent anna fosterjoins us now from the city of marash. morning to you. do you just want to explain where you are and what the situation is right now, please? yeah, let mejust situation is right now, please? yeah, let me just show you this site. if you look at these apartment buildings, this huge pile of rubble behind me used to look like that. it was a 9—storey building, four flats on each floor. and sadly, they know now that nobody is alive here. i watched them yesterday evening bring out four bodies in the space of an hour, very carefully, with as much dignity as they could manage, wrapped in blankets. they laid them here so relatives could identify them and spend last moments with them. you can probably see behind me there is a digger, a group of rescuers who have come in for the morning shift. just imagine, in some
6:06 am
places they do have signs of life, they have hope they might be somebody underneath the rubble. but here today these people are only looking for bodies, only hoping to reunite families with their loved ones one last time. we reunite families with their loved ones one last time.— reunite families with their loved ones one last time. we have followed our ones one last time. we have followed your progress — ones one last time. we have followed your progress for _ ones one last time. we have followed your progress for the _ ones one last time. we have followed your progress for the last _ ones one last time. we have followed your progress for the last few - ones one last time. we have followed your progress for the last few days. . your progress for the last few days. i'm interested to now, what are conditions like on the ground that you are seeing? and also, are the people they're getting the support that they need? i people they're getting the support that they need?— people they're getting the support that they need? i think the support has been promised, _ that they need? i think the support has been promised, it's _ that they need? i think the support has been promised, it's on - that they need? i think the support has been promised, it's on the - that they need? i think the support | has been promised, it's on the way. the international community has really made a point of saying, we will give turkey what it needs, but the problem is getting here is really difficult. this time yesterday i was on a mountain road that was absolute gridlock, with people trying to leave this area, and on the other hand, rescue workers, specialists, equipment, medics, all trying to get in, causing a complete jam. help is arriving, it is coming really
6:07 am
slowly. the conditions are bitterly cold. you can see how clear and blue the sky is. you might be able to see the sky is. you might be able to see the white snow on the mountains behind me. it is freezing. people have been out here overnight lighting fires. they don't want to go into these buildings, even the ones still standing are not safe. they have been out on the street trying to keep warm in this bitter cold, trying to do everything they can to continue to survive. in those snowy mountains, _ can to continue to survive. in those snowy mountains, small _ can to continue to survive. in those snowy mountains, small rural- snowy mountains, small rural communities which are harder for the rescuers to reach? timer;r communities which are harder for the rescuers to reach?— rescuers to reach? they are. the road, especially _ rescuers to reach? they are. the road, especially the _ rescuers to reach? they are. the road, especially the roads - rescuers to reach? they are. the road, especially the roads i - rescuers to reach? they are. the road, especially the roads i took| road, especially the roads i took yesterday, if you think about it, the way the powerful tremors move the ground. there are great cracks across the road is in some places. there have been landslips. it makes it more difficult to reach those rural communities. just the scale of this. if you think about this swathe of southern turkey, and that is not
6:08 am
even mentioning north—west syria, and how many people are affected, it is about 13.5 million people who live in this area. the hope of reaching all of them in the next few days, even in the next few weeks with specialist help, is really slim. and for those people who know they are a long way from assistance and are just trying to do their best, it is an awful, awful time. we're seeing various pictures of the devastation now. as the days to pass by, are there any signs of hope? are you hearing positive any stories, any hopeful news at all of survivors on underneath all of this? i any hopeful news at all of survivors on underneath all of this?- on underneath all of this? i think those stories _ on underneath all of this? i think those stories that _ on underneath all of this? i think those stories that you _ on underneath all of this? i think those stories that you do - on underneath all of this? i think those stories that you do here, l those stories that you do here, there are lots of them. but when you hear them they give out the hope that people need, especially people like this, who are really risking their lives on this rubble searching for people. here, they know they won't find survivors. but when there are stories of may be a child pulled from the debris, or a family
6:09 am
reunited, that almost gives a small point of hope, a bit of light, a bit of a lift to people. you need those stories. even though there are few and far between, you just need something. people need something to give them the strength to carry on. thank you so much for talking to us. do take care. anna foster reporting live from marash. this is the scene in the turkish city of sanliurfa where rescue efforts are continuing this morning. the sky is really blue. but where anna was, the snowcapped mountains behind her, very low temperatures. don't be fooled by the sunshine and blue skies. it is freezing cold in large part of that region. snow and rain forecast, which is going to cause problems. it is a race against time for these crews to try to find any sign of life as soon as i possibly can. we will keep across
6:10 am
that story for you all morning. police searching for the missing mother—of—two nicola bulley have criticised amateur investigators who have reportedly broken into properties while hunting for clues. the 45—year—old went missing while walking her dog in st michael's 0n wyre, in lancashire, 12 days ago. 0ur reporter dave guest is there. dave, the police are notjust searching for nicola — they're also trying to manage the huge public interest in this case? yes, good morning. you're right. there has been a lot of interest in this case. a lot of people genuinely want to help. there has been a negative side. people pontificating on line about what might have happened, which is not helpful. yesterday police said some people are taking it upon themselves to take —— break into buildings on the riverside. if buildings need searching, the police will go through the proper channels and will do it. the police investigation has
6:11 am
been huge. a0 detectives are now involved. they are following 500 lines of inquiry. they are tracking down 700 vehicles that were in st michael's and wire on the 27th of january. they have been interrogating and looking at data from nicola's smart watch. this is a live inquiry. even after all of that, the police are working on the basis they believe they most likely explanation is that sadly mate —— nicola fell into the river. her family clinging onto the hope they might be another explanation. that sometimes in the search will produce positive results. dave guest reporting. the us presidentjoe biden has given his annual state of the union address, which is widely expected to precede an announcement that he'll stand for a second term. he told congress he wants to finish the job of passing reforms to gun laws, abortion rights and holding the police to account. his audience included the parents of tyre nichols, who was killed after being beaten by five memphis police
6:12 am
officers last month. we had to bury tyre last week. as many of you personally know, there's no words to describe the heartache and grief of losing a child. but imagine, imagine if you lost a child at the hands of the law. imagine having to worry whether your son or daughter came home from walking down the street, playing in the park, orjust driving a car. a deadline has passed for energy suppliers to provide explanations of why they installed prepayment meters into the homes of customers who say it was unwarranted. those explanations will now be examined by the energy secretary grant shapps. nina has more on this. for a lot of people these questions need to be addressed very urgently, don't they? need to be addressed very urgently, don't the ? , ., ., , , don't they? they do. it has been uuite don't they? they do. it has been quite traumatic _ don't they? they do. it has been quite traumatic for _ don't they? they do. it has been quite traumatic for a _ don't they? they do. it has been quite traumatic for a lot -

don't they? they do. it has been quite traumatic for a lot of - don't they? they do. it has been. quite traumatic for a lot of energy companies. these are the prepayment meters. you top them up and pay as you go rather than having a direct debit. they are installed by energy companies when customers are struggling and falling into arrears. there is a place for them. energy companies need to recoup that money. some customers say it gives them a greater sense of control. but the numbers of customers struggling has increased and so too has the switching. it supposed to be a last resort, to be installed when other options of support have been on offer, but that has not been happening. last week we saw that shocking investigation from the times that an agency working for british gas was working into vulnerable customers' comes to make the switch. the bbc also revealed it appeared magistrates were waving through the paperwork allowing people into homes. that has been stopped for now. it is the job of 0fgem to make sure due process is being followed. the energy secretary, grant shapps, says he believes they have the wool pulled over their eyes. they believe

6:15 am
last summer's commonwealth games, has been found a new and permanent home in birmingham. it will go on public display at new street station, and should be in place by the summer. thousands of people signed a petition to keep him in the city after he proved one of the games' biggest hits. it's brilliant to be able to be the brand—new custodians of the fantastic raging bull sculpture that wowed so many crowds last summer. it's a one—off, absolutely unique piece of cultural heritage that we thought it was really important to keep with us in new street, to be enjoyed by the 800,000 people who pass through the station every week after covid. the first stamps featuring king charles iii have been unveiled by the royal mail. in keeping with tradition, the king is facing to the left in the image. but unlike the queen's stamp, he chose not to wear a crown. the new stamps will go on sale from april a.
6:16 am
one of britain's favourite sitcoms, fawlty towers, is being revived after more than a0 years. clea n clean the windows. clean the windows. clean the windows. morning, major. its co—creator and original starjohn cleese will return as the highly stressed torquay hotelier basil fawlty. he'll appear alongside his daughter camilla cleese, who'll play basil's newly discovered daughter, with whom he runs a new boutique hotel. i'm not sure. do you think he's going to get...? azul fawlty was
6:17 am
quite mean at times, occasionally quite mean at times, occasionally quite violent. it could be brilliant, or it could not be present. he might need to be a reformed character. we will talk about it later. let us know what you think. carol is a mystery picture this morning. good morning. if you arejust stepping out, it is a foggy start to the day across parts of england and wales. poorvisibility, down to the day across parts of england and wales. poor visibility, down to less than 100 metres in places. this will slowly lift. there is freezing fog. temperatures in benson have fallen just below —7. in perthshire, in worcestershire, again, just about -7. worcestershire, again, just about —7. forsome, a worcestershire, again, just about —7. for some, a cold start to the day. for others, more cloud. that is across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland. very slowly the fog will lift. in doing so, we will start to see some
6:18 am
sunshine. low cloud drifting on shore, south—west england, wales, into cumbria. you can see we have got all this rain coming in across the north—west of scotland. here it is already windy. the winds are only going to strengthen as we go through the day. we are looking at in excess of 70 mph at times across the western isles. again, elsewhere it is going to be a breezy day, if not windy where you are. temperatures today, eight to 10 degrees. down a notch on yesterday. as we head through the evening and overnight, this rain continues to sink south. cold air feeds this rain continues to sink south. cold airfeeds in behind. we will see wintry showers above 200 metres or so. windy with gales in the north. the weather front trending down towards the south producing all this cloud. temperatures tonight, another cold one. —1 in london. in rural areas it could be lower than this. —2, rural areas it could be lower than this. -2, -3. rural areas it could be lower than this. —2, —3. in aberdeen, 1
6:19 am
degrees. tomorrow, a little bit quieter, the winds slowly easing. thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. and many continue to lead on the devastating earthquake which has hit turkey and syria. the times says, "life and death under the ruins", as it reports the continuing search for survivors in the rubble. the paper says more than 20,000 people are feared to have been killed. really striking picture of the baby pulled from the wreckage. the telegraph's leads on the sentencing of the former met police officer and serial rapist david carrick, who will serve a minimum of 30 years in prison. the paper says the sentence is already under review after the attorney general was inundated with complaints that it was too lenient. the daily mirror says oil giant bp has sparked outrage, after it announced record profits of £23 billion yesterday. and the sun reports that the sitcom fawlty towers is set to return, aa years after it ended.
6:20 am
i don't know how you feel about celebrity reality television. we see quite a lot of it, don't we? sometimes the cast lists are, you think i recognise that face, but i don't know where from. this is the cast list for a star bake off. i mean, it's really impressive. this is for stand up to cancer. they have got david schwimmer from friends, paddy mcguinness, tom daley, judy love, judy... the cast is absolutely brilliant. 20 of them. they are all going to go into that famous tent. is the tent going to be big enough for 20? that is an enormous cast. they will need a bigger tent. even celebrity big brother couldn't muster such names on its heyday.
6:21 am
let's hope they can bake. that is the main thing. this is interesting. yesterday we were talking about al computers and how clever they are. this is another system. we are talking everyday about a different system. this has been created at the university in america. it has got a robotic arm, an ai arm, and you ask it to painta robotic arm, an ai arm, and you ask it to paint a picture in the style of a famous painter and it does it. it's really rather beautiful. you have got a version of starry night by vincent van gogh. and frida carlo's porch at top right. and there is the robotic arm bottom right which can actually do the work. we were talking yesterday about how you could ask you to write a poem or songin you could ask you to write a poem or song in the style of somebody. this is now out. you plug the robotic arm in and it paints you a picture. it shows you the potential. word is perfection, where it is originality, and? i don't know? —— where does perfection
6:22 am
and? they will still need us to do something. make tea for the robot, probably! it's a problem that has dogged the online gaming community for years — the regular barrage of threats, abuse and toxic language from other players. now, for the first time in the uk, one major games creator has partnered with a police force in a bid to tackle the problem. 0ur gaming correspondent steffan powell has this report from newcastle. whether it's your favourite italian plumber... ..tense tactical shooting... ..or stealthy historical adventures that got you into gaming, you'll know that playing video games online can be a thing ofjoy, where friends from all over the world get together, new friendships are forged and memorable experiences shared. but there's also a dark side, where abuse, bullying and hate speech
6:23 am
can be commonplace. it's not a new problem. and it's not unique to one company. the games industry, like others that involve online interaction, has been trying to figure out how to get to grips with behaviour like this for years. which is where the ubisoft customer relations centre in newcastle comes in. myjob title is player experience director. yeah, that's quite a posh title, andrew. thank you. 0riginally set up as a call centre, today it does much more, including working with northumbria police, getting training from expert officers in dealing with harmful online behaviour. you belong injail. toxicity takes a lot of different shapes. the important thing for us is, you're sat at home, trying to have a good time, trying to relax. we want to make sure that you are doing that in a safe environment.
6:24 am
the newly signed agreement also gives some of the 200 staff here, direct access in cases where there is a threat to life or serious harm. we've got a dashboard that's looking at all the data from the crisis cases we've got. these are the cases that have reached the threshold... yeah. ..where you need to escalate them and speak to the police about them? it's the first deal of its kind in the uk, and the hope is that other games companies and police forces will now follow suit. one of the things that we've worked with the police on is that triaging thing, so we can decide, actually, we need to raise this to the police, or actually, we can deal with it ourselves. northumbria police prioritise protecting the vulnerable, and that includes all of our communities, not just the communities that we physically meet, but our online community as well. are you able to properly resource this project? the demands on policing continually evolves, and we have different challenges all of the time. but our role is we have to evolve with it. less than 0.01% of the cases here will require police intervention. that's around a handful every month.
6:25 am
other times, accounts can be banned for breaching a code of conduct. you're not a human being. it is daunting. at the same time, it's very important. and that's why we put all our heart to make things right. and that's why we wanted to start this doing on the most extreme cases the right thing, because it gave us very strong foundation. and what are your hopes then for the work you're doing here at the centre for the future? for me, just like to be on the right side of history. but there's also a clear business reason for this. in an increasingly competitive market, keeping people playing your games is harder than ever. they're more likely to stick around if they feel safe. there's a feeling from some in the games industry that it needs to be more open in talking about the realities of online play, and the work being done to tackle it. deals like this could be a step in the right direction.
6:26 am
steffan powell, bbc news, newcastle. keeping people safe online. that is something that will be of interest to lots of parents. for more than 30 years, artist ron gittins covered the walls and ceilings of his rented flat in paintings and sculptures. ron died in 2019, leaving his extraordinary work behind. but now the owners of his flat have put it up for sale. and there are fears the art could be lost for good. andy gill reports. in 0xton in birkenhead, there is a place that is unlike any other place. ron's place. a ground—floor flat that ron gittins used as his personal canvas for 33 years. few people knew about what he was doing until he died in 2019. it's a unique space. there's nothing like this in the uk. and it's here in birkenhead. so, we need to save this. i mean, it's an incredible feat of engineering.
6:27 am
it's a minotaur fireplace, and ron used to use it for doing his cooking. there's almost no surface in the house that ron gittins didn't produce art of some kind on — the walls, the floors, the ceilings. in the bathroom here, this might look like a load of old cardboard. in fact, it's a model for some sort of egyptian cotton. three years ago, a group of volunteers started a campaign to save ron's place. the idea is to use it to inspire artists, and help improve people's mental health. it's immersive. you don't often get these kinds of experiences in ordinary life, as it were. so it tends to shift your perspective, whoever you are, whether you have mental health problems or not. coming into this place makes you see different possibilities. but ron's flat was always rented. and now the property company that owns the whole house have put it up for auction on march 1. it's a difficult thought, that, because it is a very special place.
6:28 am
there are lots of examples — different examples — of say, the cavern club, people thought that was ok to just bury that and get rid of that. and then years later, people think, why did we do that? i think this could be that kind of place. the guide price for the house starts at £325,000. volunteers were hoping to get funding to run it for a year, to demonstrate how it could be used. but because they only rented the space, fundraising was difficult. all our fundraising that happened was done during covid. we have had to pay rent for the last three years. we wanted to, you know, to maintain the space. but a lot of money has gone on that. no one disputes the owner's right to sell the house. campaigners say a new owner could rent out the top floor flats and leave ron's place as it is. but there's also the possibility that a new owner could choose to rip it all out. there's plenty of properties that are boring, but this is incredibly unique. andy gill, bbc news.
6:29 am
we are going to be talking about another bull later. this one not made out of pap your menashe. the metal bowl that dominated the scene at the commonwealth games in the summer. it was the star of bbc breakfast for many morning. the new campaign says it has to be protected. we find out where it is going this morning. not to that gallery. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, with me, alison earle. members of the london fire brigade are heading to turkey to join the search for survivors after two deadly earthquakes in the region. a group of search—and—rescue dogs are also part of the team. turkish community groups across the capital are urging people to continue to make donations. items to help in the cold weather are now the main focus.
6:30 am
it will be —11 in some of the cities from today, and it's snowing, it's raining in the area. so the community will be concentrating on collecting tents and other aid to support the communities on the ground. the mother of archie battersbee said she believes her son's death was an accident — caused by falling from the banister at home. the 12—year—old's life support was withdrawn last august after his parents' legal battle with the nhs hospital treating him. at his inquest the court heard archie had shared messages showing a "very low mood". today police are expected to reveal more about his internet searches. around half a million pounds worth of cocaine and heroin destined for the streets has been seized. officers from the met worked with sussex police to confiscate one of the largest hauls of class a drugs, at a property in waltham forest. a 27—year—old man has been charged
6:31 am
with possesion and intent to supply and remains in custody. it's claimed the expansion of the ultra low emission zone could see people in harrow paying four and a half thousand pounds a year if it goes ahead as planned in august. that's according to the conservative council's leader paul 0sborn who says it will hit the poorest and most vulnerable. the mayor sadiq khan says it's needed as thousands die each year due to toxic air. travel now, and lets see how tfl services are looking. there are minor delays clockwise only on the circle line. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. with high pressure dominating the weather for the rest of the week, then it's looking dry and settled. there's more blue sky and sunshine to come in the forecast. and while it's cold at the moment, things will be turning milder as we head towards the weekend. now, certainly very chilly out there this morning. a widespread sharp frost with temperatures below freezing, and some more patches
6:32 am
of freezing fog, too. that will be slow to lift and clear once again this morning., so reduced visibility on many of our roads — do take care — but it's quite patchy, and for many it's a bright start to the day. and there'll be more sunny skies as we head through the afternoon in particular, the breeze picking up a touch, but the winds still fairly light. temperatures around about the seasonal average. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, then it's still going to be feeling cold, but not as cold as it has been — temperatures still low enough for a touch of frost, though, into tomorrow morning. because it is a bit breezier, there won't be so much mist and fog forming, either. now, there's a weak weather front sinking southwards tomorrow, introducing more cloud — but, again, it should stay dry with more sunshine through the afternoon and feeling a little milder. there's lots more on our website and social media, including that's it for now — i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay.
6:33 am
let's return to our main story now, and rescuers across turkey and syria are continuing their desperate search for survivors of monday's earthquakes, which have killed at least 8,000 people. this is the scene in the turkish city of sanliurfa. the number is sadly increasing all the time. you can see a rescue operation under way at a block of flats that has collapsed. people have been up all night and will continue to be up all day, just searching through the rubble, looking and listening for any survivors. aid agencies are out there, they have come from around there, they have come from around the world, including from the uk, and are warning that the rescue efforts have been hampered by the weather because the sun might be shining, the sky might be blue, but the temperatures are freezing in some parts of that region, particularly in the more remote rural areas.
6:34 am

6:42 am
through to face tottenham.. but on the basis of both showings, this is not the end of the wrexham story — asjoe lynskey reports. commentator: surely now... that'll do nicely. this was the last scene of this year's hollywood cup story. non—league wrexham knocked out of the cup, but only by goals in stoppage time. their california co—owners watched from the states. ryan reynolds said he was so proud — of his team and of the fans — while rob mcelhenney said, "they gave it everything." bramall lane had been the set for the sequel — a fourth—round replay at sheffield united — where, just like the first match, it had looked a simple script. what an outstanding goal! the team three tiers above one goal ahead. but once again wrexham found a way back. mullin to ground — penalty! their man for the big moment is striker paul mullin —
6:43 am
the cups top scorer this season has scored in each round... ..and now made it 1—1. whoever won this game would face spurs in round five and, remarkably, wrexham had the chance to lead. a second foul, a second penalty — but this time mullin's shot was saved. and just like last weekend, sheffield united struck at the end — a winning goal in the 9ath minute. and one more on 96. wrexham were seconds from a win in the first game, and had come so close again. immensely proud of the performance over the two games. but tonight in particular because coming away to a championship team is always that much harder. looking how the sheffield united players and staff celebrated at the end was a mark of how far we've pushed them. it'sjust the way it is — i planned... i always plan two penalties before the game in case you got two in a game. and it was a great save.
6:44 am
you win some, you lose some, you score some, you miss some — that's just the way it is. if lionel messi can miss penalties, i'm pretty sure paul mullin can! wrexham's focus is now promotion and a return to the football league after 15 years away. at the end of a tie with so many twists, they hope to start a greater story. joe lynskey, bbc news. what a memorable cup run it was. how about this though? league two grimsby knocking out championship high flyers luton out with three goals in the first half. they had only ever reached the fifth round four times in the club's history. so this a huge night for the club's fans, and they get a premier league side next in southampton. fleetwood town are through to the fifth round for the first time. they beat sheffield wednesday. carlos mendes gomes with the only goal as they overcame the league leaders. burnley, through, beating league one ipswich 2-1.
6:45 am
they progress — fifth round, top of the championship — all looking very rosy. we talk of all time greats in sport. i think basketball star lebronjames has to be up there, after becoming the nba's all—time leading goalscorer. he needed to score 36 more points to break the current record held by kareem abduljabbar, in place for nearly a0 years. and then, get this — the game was stopped for celebrations and messages from celebrities like rhianna. ijust don't think i just don't think you would see that another here, stopping the game. celebrations, messages, video messages, everyone getting involved, his family were out there on the court. ., ., ., , ., ., in court. that would not be allowed. it is staggering- _ court. that would not be allowed. it is staggering- he — court. that would not be allowed. it is staggering. he has _ court. that would not be allowed. it is staggering. he has put _ court. that would not be allowed. it is staggering. he has put the - court. that would not be allowed. it is staggering. he has put the ball i is staggering. he has put the ball through the hit 1a,000 times in his career. astonishing figures. band career. astonishing figures. and then his team _ career. astonishing figures. situc then his team lost.

6:48 am
seeing year on year attacks on pay. so there is a huge mandate to take action. equally our members are clear that if we can avoid action thatis clear that if we can avoid action that is what we want, but the ball is very clearly in their court. he re'ected is very clearly in their court. he rejected an _ is very clearly in their court. he rejected an offer of 5%. —— michael you rejected. you are not going to give me precise numbers but how significantly over 5% wouldn't have to be to avert a strike? significantly over 596 wouldn't have to be to avert a strike?— significantly over 596 wouldn't have to be to avert a strike? well, look, i am not to be to avert a strike? well, look, i am not going _ to be to avert a strike? well, look, i am not going to _ to be to avert a strike? well, look, i am not going to negotiate - to be to avert a strike? well, look, i am not going to negotiate on - to be to avert a strike? well, look, i am not going to negotiate on tv. | i am not going to negotiate on tv. we are let out to the employers, and we have been trying to resolve this since may of last year, and we have now come to this stage. we are almost at the stage of negotiating the following year's pay rise so it is completely unacceptable what our members have faced. we have not had the pay rise that should have been implemented on the 1st ofjuly 2022. they haven't yet had that. the employers need to get a move on. but our pay claim that it covered a
6:49 am
range of other issues. there is obviously the headline pay but there are other issues we are trying to address within our service. i hope they will take note of all of the elements of that letter, but clearly our members have sent a very clear message that the offer that was made in november... in october of last year, it is not adequate. they voted in a separate ballot to reject that, they then voted for strike. this is a chance to avoid that strike but, as i say, i am not prepared to say what that will mean. we have to see what that will mean. we have to see what the employers to say and then our executive and members may decide if that is anywhere near good enough. if that is anywhere near good enou:h. if that is anywhere near good enou. h, ., if that is anywhere near good enou:h. ., ., , enough. some of our viewers will remember _ enough. some of our viewers will remember the _ enough. some of our viewers will remember the last _ enough. some of our viewers will remember the last nationwide i enough. some of our viewers will i remember the last nationwide strike backin remember the last nationwide strike back in 2002, i think, more than 20 years ago now, when firefighters walked out. some of them will be worried this morning about what a strike would mean in terms of public safety. i mean, if there was a fire in somebody�*s house, and you guys
6:50 am
were on strike, what would happen? i think that is really a matter for the fire service employers and the government. there are legal obligations on fire authorities and those matters are addressed in parliament each year. every time there has been a local dispute, for example, the chief fire officer has assured everyone that everything is fine. government ministers have done the same. we have not been involved in any discussions generally about that. the westminster government has not approached us for any such discussions. so i don't know what is in place, that is a matterfor them. our in place, that is a matterfor them. 0urjob is to try to avoid a strike in the first place by resolving the pay dispute. what you cannot do is hold people to ransom. 0ur pay dispute. what you cannot do is hold people to ransom. our members are very proud of theirjob. you just had a story of the earthquake. some of the people attending that
6:51 am
now will be members of our union. that is the as part of their career. what you cannot do, however, from the government or the employers, is morally blackmailed people to tell them to accept lower and lower wages a after year because of public safety is at risk. public safety has been put at risk by this government making cuts year on year to our service with 12,000 fewer firefighters anyway. they should be held to account for that. fiifi firefighters anyway. they should be held to account for that.— held to account for that. 0k, matt wrack from _ held to account for that. 0k, matt wrack from the _ held to account for that. 0k, matt wrack from the fbu, _ held to account for that. 0k, matt wrack from the fbu, we - held to account for that. 0k, matt wrack from the fbu, we have - held to account for that. 0k, matt wrack from the fbu, we have to l held to account for that. 0k, matt - wrack from the fbu, we have to leave it there, but thank you for your time. ., ., it there, but thank you for your time. ., ~' ,, let's go to carol for the weather. it looks a bit foggy out there. sigh and it certainly is. this morning some mist and fog in half the country, patchy but some is dense and some is freezing. hardly surprising when you see the temperatures. moved further north,

6:58 am
the—12—year—old's life support was withdrawn last august, after his parents' legal battle with the nhs hospital treating him. at his inquest the court heard archie had shared messages showing a "very low mood". today, police are expected to reveal more about his internet searches. the family of a man who's been missing for more than two weeks say the wait for answers is agonising. nathan cole, who's 32, was last seen in walthamstow on the night of the 21st of january. police have issued a fresh appeal for information and are using divers and sonar equipment to search the banbury reservior and wild marshes. it's claimed the expansion of the ultra low emission zone could see people in harrow paying £a,500 a year if it goes ahead as planned in august. that's according to the conservative council's leader paul osborn, who says it will hit the poorest and most vulnerable. the mayor sadiq khan says it's needed as thousands die each year due to toxic air.
6:59 am
travel now and lets see how tfl services are looking. there are minor delays on the circle and metropolitan lines. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. with high pressure dominating the weather for the rest of the week, then it's looking dry and settled. there's more blue sky and sunshine to come in the forecast. and while it's cold at the moment, things will be turning milder as we head towards the weekend. now, certainly very chilly out there this morning. a widespread sharp frost with temperatures below freezing, and some more patches of freezing fog, too. that will be slow to lift and clear once again this morning, so reduced visibility on many of our roads — do take care — but it's quite patchy, and for many it's a bright start to the day. and there'll be more sunny skies as we head through the afternoon in particular, the breeze picking up a touch, but the winds still fairly light. temperatures around about the seasonal average. now, as we head through this
7:00 am
evening and overnight, then it's still going to be feeling cold, but not as cold as it has been — temperatures still low enough for a touch of frost, though, into tomorrow morning. because it is a bit breezier, there won't be so much mist and fog forming, either. now, there's a weak weather front sinking southwards tomorrow, introducing more cloud — but, again, it should stay dry with more sunshine through the afternoon and feeling a little milder. there's lots more on our website and social media, including the high tech security system to help stop tool thefts. that's it for now. i'm back in around half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. desperate searches continue for missing people in turkey and syria, as the number killed by the earthquake passes 8000. the uk has sent search and rescue specialists to turkey, as the government pledges funding for support in syria. police say they remain open to new information about missing woman nicola bulley,
7:01 am
as the search enters its 12th day. explain yourselves — that's the message from the government to energy suppliers, who have been forcing customers on to pre payment meters. at midnight their deadline passed, we look at what comes next. no hollywood ending for wrexham in the fa cup, as the blades prove too sharp in another for the all—action affair — sheffield united through after to two late goals. we'll be live with rylan clark, emma willis and 0ti mabuse as they set off on the challenge of a lifetime for red nose day. good morning. it is going to be cold and windy for that challenge. further south today, mist and fog will lived, they will be some sunshine. in the northern half of the country, more cloud, heavy rain accompanied by squally winds. details later in the programme.
7:02 am
good morning. it's wednesday, the 8th of february. in the last few minutes of the death toll has increased to 8700 people now known to have been killed following the devastating earthquakes which hit turkey and syria. that death toll is likely to rise significantly as rescue workers and civilians continue to search the rubble, and survivors trapped beneath it succumb to bitterly cold weather. the earthquakes were the biggest in the region since 1939, and they triggered dozens of aftershocks along the east anatolian fault line, which is one of the world's most active areas for seismic movement. howard johnson has the latest details. the desperate search for survivors continued overnight, often in bitterly cold conditions. but with each hour that passes, the chance of finding more people alive diminishes. in worst hit hatay, turkey,
7:03 am
a grim scene brightened by the smiles of rescuers. a woman has just been pulled alive from a collapsed building. elsewhere, relatives call out to their loved ones, assuring the trapped that help is on its way. the first 7.8 magnitude quake struck near gaziantep in the early hours of monday, followed by a 7.5 magnitude tremor hours later. whole streets reduced to rubble in less than a minute. syrian authorities have reported deaths as far south as hama, more than 150 miles from the epicentre. in this war torn country, there are limited emergency services, so relatives are digging with their hands to try to save the buried. translation: we need excavators. we need equipment. we don't have anything.
7:04 am
some, overwhelmed by heartbreak, like this man, desperately searching for his wife. rescuers in the country say there's still hope more people can be found. for sure, there are people still alive right now and waiting for us, waiting for help, waiting for our efforts to reach them. three britons are among the thousands missing, according to the foreign office. a team of 77 uk search and rescue specialists, equipped with concrete breaking tools and four sniffer dogs, arrived in turkey yesterday. in the uk, community centres continue to gather donations to send to those in need. king charles has sent his special prayers to victims of the earthquake,
7:05 am
and the rescue teams working tirelessly to help them. howard johnson, bbc news. let's go live now straight to the city of gaziantep, the focal point for lots of the images that we have seenin for lots of the images that we have seen in recent days. rescue efforts there continuing this morning. this is one of those moments where there is one of those moments where there is a pause on the left—hand side of your screen while digging work continues on the right. this is a scene we are seeing mirrored across various towns and cities in turkey and syria. all that rubble and debris has to be cleared through. it is repeated place after place, street after street. these are the pictures we are getting live from the city of diyarbakir, where rescue efforts continue this morning. that is the
7:06 am
largest kurdish majority city and the whole of turkey. it is the administrative capital of the province. historic place. they have equipment. they have people there. they have rescue teams. the question is, how do you get that kind of help to those rural communities which don't have that infrastructure, and which sometimes those rescue teams haven't even reached yet? we can also see from this shot, several buildings completely destroyed, but some of them still standing. as our respondent was telling us earlier, they are not safe to go into anyway to stop just because they are standing doesn't mean they can be used in any way. ayham taha is a technical adviser for care international uk, and joins us now from turkey. we just saw those pictures from their of the damage. may be to start with explain what you are seeing on the ground, what is the reality? what is it like to be there? thank

7:08 am
two—year old child was rescued alive. the situation is similar in many other cities and towns. in terms of destruction, damage and numbers of lost lives. in gaziantep. .. gaziantep... inaudible. there are fewer restaurants. —— there are a few restaurants. —— there are a few restaurants offering soup. i have distributed a lot of hot meals in my life. i make sure i can give it to

7:11 am
been the armchair detectives pontificating and speculating online about what might have happened, which is not helpful. yesterday the police said some of these temperature investigators started breaking into buildings to carry out their own searches. police say, don't do it, it is illegal. if they need to get into empty properties, they will do it in the correct way. the search resumes today once we get daylight here in st michael's 0n wyre. it has been a huge operation. a0 detectives involved. they are looking at 500 lines of inquiry. tracking down 700 motorist you were in the area onjanuary 27, they hope somebody might have seen something or cut something on their dashcam. they have been investigating nikola's data to see if anything from her watch might give them a clue. but as yet, the search continues. no news as to exactly what happened to nicola. the family wanting to find out definitively what happened on the 27th of january. that search continues this morning. thank you very much indeed.
7:12 am
us presidentjoe biden has given his annual state of the union address, which is widely expected to precede an announcement that he'll stand for a second term. he told congress he wants to finish the job of passing reforms to gun laws, abortion rights and holding the police to account. his audience included the parents of tyre nichols, who was killed after being beaten by five memphis police officers last month. we had to bury tyre last week. as many of you personally know, there's no words to describe the heartache and grief of losing a child. but imagine, imagine if you lost a child at the hands of the law. imagine having to worry whether your son or daughter came home from walking down the street, playing in the park, orjust driving a car. a deadline has passed for energy suppliers to provide
7:13 am
explanations of why they installed prepayment meters into the homes of customers who say it was unwarranted. those explanations will now be examined by the energy secretary grant shapps. nina has more on this. nina, this is something that needs to be addressed urgently, isn't it? it does. we have been talking about it a lot. these prepayment meters that he topped up instead of having a direct debit system. —— that he topped up. they are used to make sure customers pay their bills. energy companies need to make sure their bills are paid. some customers enjoy the sense of control. they are supposed to be installed as a last resort when all of the payment options have been exhausted. we now that if this isn't happening. last week we saw that shocking investigation from the times newspaper of agency workers forcing themselves into people's comes on behalf of british gas to force the
7:14 am
switch. the bbc has also revealed that magistrates were on occasion waving through forced entry to install metres in peoples homes. it is the job of 0fgem, the energy regulator, to make sure due process is being followed by the suppliers. the energy secretary said this week he believed 0fgem were having the wool pulled over their eyes, therefore believing suppliers before customers. energy companies were given until midnight last night to given until midnight last night to give evidence to say how this was allowed to happen, what recourse is being put in place for customers who have been frankly traumatised by this. the government will begin the process of sifting through the evidence this morning, working out where things have gone so horribly wrong, decide who is responsible and how this can stop happening again. indeed. to —— thank you. nearly quarter past seven. the giant mechanical bull which stole the show at last summer's commonwealth games, has been found
7:15 am
a new and permanent home in birmingham. what do we do with it? it will go on public display at new street station. here's what it will look like. towering over the concourse. ten metres high. it should be in place by the summer. he is in bates at the moment. he will be reassembled, put back together. it is only happening because so many of you signed a petition, thousands of people, wanting to keep him in birmingham. it's brilliant to be able to be the brand—new custodians of the fantastic raging bull sculpture that wowed so many crowds last summer. it's a one—off, absolutely unique piece of cultural heritage that we thought it was really important to keep with us in new street, to be enjoyed by the 800,000 people who pass through the station every week after covid.
7:16 am
raging, fuming commuters can now stand next to a raging bull in birmingham. 0n the subject of raging... one of britain's favourite sitcoms, fawlty towers, is being revived after more than a0 years. clean the windows. clean? clean the windows. ah! morning, major. its co—creator and original starjohn cleese will return as the highly stressed torquay hotelier basil fawlty. he'll appear alongside his daughter camilla cleese, who'll play basil's newly discovered daughter, with whom he runs a new boutique hotel. ijust i just can't ijust can't imagine him keeping calm. he is not going to be back at the original hotel. apparently he is running a new boutique hotel, whether that is in torquay or not, we don't know. some any questions.

how much will it work in 2023? i'm not sure. he won't be able to hit people. 0r carry people around, health and safety considerations. watch this space. apparently channels are queueing up to buy it. watch this space. talking about extreme conditions under difficult circumstances, we are talking later about the new comic relief challenge. it is coming up in the next half an hour. extreme weather. carol can tell us more. good morning. the cairngorms today not looking particularly good in terms of weather. we are starting with a fair bit of cloud and drizzle. the wind is going to strengthen and then really strengthen and then really strengthen through the afternoon, accompanied by some heavy rain. there will be significant wind chill. 0n higher ground above 200 metres or so, we will see some snow. later on higher ground there are
7:18 am
likely to be blizzards. if anything, tomorrow on the cairngorms will be even colder. today what we have got at lower levels in bristol is a beautiful picture of a sunrise. in southern areas there is some mist and fog to watch out for. some of it will be slow to lift. visibility is poon will be slow to lift. visibility is poor. in the northern half of the country there is more cloud, producing spots of light rain or drizzle in western scotland, a few of them getting into northern ireland. gusty winds. coming south, we are looking at a fair bit of sunshine. but it is cold. temperatures last night fell away lower than —7. frosty to start. the mist and fog slowly lifting. then we have the sunshine. at the same time we have a band of heavy rain moving in across western scotland and northern ireland. gusty winds as well. gusts in excess of 75 mph in the north—west. that is slowly going to be slipping southwards as we go through the evening and overnight.
7:19 am
and as it does so, colder air behind, increasingly wintry showers above 200 metres, but some of the heavier showers could come lower than that. not quite as cold as last night but it is still going to be called. still gale is blowing across the far north of scotland. tomorrow as this front clears, there is a little bit more settled, but it will still be windy in the north. thank you. much more on the comic relief challenge coming up. it is not looking good. nearly 20 past seven. we need to get an update on our main story. those desperate attempts to find survivors in the aftermath of the turkey earthquake —— earthquakes in turkey and syria go on. tom bateman is in adana this morning. good morning. 2a hours since we last spoke to you. what updates do you have? what has been

7:21 am
hear a cry for help? all the machinery, all the people, theyjust wait to see if they can trace where any sound might be coming from, the hope they can save a life and bring somebody out of those piles and piles of breaks. just to make it clear to you, you can hear us talking. 0r sound is not being heard by them. we can talk with no problem. we are not interfering. what tom can't do at the moment is make too much sound. that is why he is stepping back. giving the rescuers a chance to be very quiet. all the mechanical digging has stopped. this is what we're seeing. very intense periods of digging. many people digging with their bare hands. and there have been some remarkable stories of success for these teams. tom and our respondent and foster earlier, who is even closer to the epicentre,
7:22 am
telling us that they have seen people being brought out, especially children being brought out alive from the rubble in different places in the last few hours, even though it is so gusty and the conditions are terrible, and it's freezing cold and wet. but, yes, there are still signs of life. that's why those rescue efforts are so intense. every moment counts. let's go back to tom. we have been given the all clear. he can now talk to us. a significant moment. i know moments like that are happening all the time? ~ , , , , like that are happening all the time? ~ , , , time? absolutely. it 'ust gives you a sense of how _ time? absolutely. itjust gives you a sense of how complicated - time? absolutely. itjust gives you a sense of how complicated and i a sense of how complicated and painstaking this work is. you are getting this moment where everybody stops talking. it is notjust us. the relatives of people in this building in the area, you can see them milling around. when those moments happen, of course, it is a
7:23 am
moments happen, of course, it is a moment above of extreme anxiety, but also, tiny glimmers of hope. it gives you a sense... yesterday morning i was talking to one woman whose daughter lived on the second floor. she simply couldn't leave. she had spent the entire day there. she said to me... inaudible. entire day there. she said to me... inaudible-— inaudible. you can obviously tell from the situation _ inaudible. you can obviously tell from the situation there _ inaudible. you can obviously tell from the situation there that - inaudible. you can obviously tell from the situation there that the i from the situation there that the communications with tom are challenging. normally at that point we would normally cut away from somebody we are having some difficulties with. but i think it's important to stay with that so we can get a sense of what tom is experiencing and the stories he can tell us. problems with the sound. imagine being one of those family standing at the side. knowing that your loved ones are in there and
7:24 am
could still be alive. we will go back to tom and keep across that rescue this morning. and if there is any good news, we will bring it to you. we all need to see the success stories coming out. uk team is heading out there every hour. we're getting our first look today at something that most of us this will be seeing many, many more times — the new postage stamp showing king charles iii. you can't buy it yet — they'll be on sale from april a — but the royal mail is displaying it at an exhibition in london. 0ur royal correspondent, daniela relph, went along. every monarch since queen victoria — every reign, whatever its length — has had a stamp. symbols of a sovereign in our everyday lives. and there is about to be a new one. on display at the postal museum in london, a first look at the stamp of king charles iii. this will be what's known as his definitive stamp. it is a simple, stark image
7:25 am
with little adornment. unlike his mother, he has chosen not to wear a crown. as with all stamps, of course, the monarch approved them. and so we hope that he's happy with this design. and i think if i can say that the guidance we were given was not to try to be too clever, or to try to veer off into some different direction, but very much to keep that traditional image that we're all very much used to. the king charles ii! stamp is part of a new exhibition at the postal museum — from queen victoria's penny black in 18a0, through to more recent and more familiar images. the definitive stamp of queen elizabeth ii was unchanged for the last 55 years of her reign. it is believed to be the most reproduced work of art in history. a new stamp can take two to three years to be planned, designed, printed and put on sale.
7:26 am
the new king charles ii! stamp has been prepared in a fraction of that time, so that it will be in circulation in time for the coronation. and the production of those stamps is now well under way. each one showing an image that will become synonymous with this reign. the stamp of king charles ii goes on sale on the ath of april. daniela relph, bbc news, the postal museum. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell is at the postal museum in central london. to see not just to see notjust that to see not just that stamp, to see notjust that stamp, but to see not just that stamp, but the history of royal stamps right in front of you. history of royal stamps right in front of you-— history of royal stamps right in front of ou. . ., front of you. yeah. good morning. read for front of you. yeah. good morning. ready for some — front of you. yeah. good morning. ready for some royal _ front of you. yeah. good morning. ready for some royal philately? i front of you. yeah. good morning. l ready for some royal philately? this is queen victoria. this is not the penny black. this is the 2p blue. equally priceless. potentially more so because it is incredibly rare.

so the community will be concentrating on collecting tents and other aid to support the communities on the ground. the mother of archie battersbee said she believes her son's death was an accident — caused by falling from the banister at home. the 12—year—old's life support was withdrawn last august after his parents' legal battle with the nhs hospital treating him. at his inquest the court heard archie had shared messages showing a "very low mood". today police are expected to reveal more about his internet searches. the family of a man from notting hill who's been missing for more than two weeks say the wait for answers is "agonising". nathan cole, who's 32, was last seen in walthamstow on the 21st of january. police have issued a fresh appeal for information and are using divers and sonar equipment to search the banbury reservior and wild marshes. it's claimed the expansion of the ultra low emission zone

7:33 am
start to the day. and there'll be more sunny skies as we head through the afternoon in particular, the breeze picking up a touch, but the winds still fairly light. temperatures around about the seasonal average. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, then it's still going to be feeling cold, but not as cold as it has been — temperatures still low enough for a touch of frost, though, into tomorrow morning. because it is a bit breezier, there won't be so much mist and fog forming, either. now, there's a weak weather front sinking southwards tomorrow, introducing more cloud — but, again, it should stay dry with more sunshine through the afternoon and feeling a little milder. there's lots more on our website and social media, including the high—tech security system to help stop tool thefts. that's it for now, i'm back in around an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. thank withjon kay and sally nugent. you forjoining us tf morning.

silence again in other parts of turkey where we are seeing other rescues going on. moments of silence where theyjust stop and listen. despite the blue skies and the sunshine there this morning, we know that there has been freezing weather and storms coming in, as well, and there is heavy rain predicted which is why they have to do this work urgently to try to reach people because every second counts. aid from the uk, including around 80 search and rescue personnel, four search dogs, and specialist equipment, arrived in turkey late last night. justinjohnston is chief fire officer for lancashire fire and rescue who have deployed six firefighters and two dogs. good morning. it is quite an effort to get everything out there quickly but it seems to be arriving now. good morning. it is a mammoth effort. probably about three hours ago they will have got to their base of operations and they will be looking out to be deployed onto

7:42 am
bing will soon be powered by artificial intelligence tool chatgpt. that is a bit of a mouthful but we had better get used to it. although rival google is currently the most popular online search tool, microsoft believes that the new technology can help push bing into the top spot. 0ur north america technology reporterjames clayton has more. here in microsoft's campus in seattle, people are trying something that microsoft is touting as "game—changing". chatgpt combined with search. chatgpt is like a sort of personal assistant — a very clever personal assistant that uses vast amounts of data with artificial intelligence to give scarily accurate, detailed and humanlike answers. the big difference between this and the more traditional type of search is you essentially have two different types of answers. so take this question i'vejust put in — give me an itinerary for a 2a—hour visit to seattle. i get a bunch of links, but i also get a tailored answer from 0penai's chatbot, and it is significantly more detailed.
7:43 am
it's the first time that a! really gets into the hands of billions of internet users, and there's such a vast opportunity set for injecting similar functionality into the software that billions of businesses also use. the announcement has got google panicking. google dominates search — more than 90% of the world's searches are on google. bing has only 3%. yesterday, google announced its competitor to chatgpt — bard — but it's not yet open for public use. yet some worry about the lack of transparency in how the system gets its answers. is the algorithm going to be open? are we going to be able to inspect it? you know, there's a lot of secret sauce on how we put this together that, you know, we won't get into. but what happens is what happens with search today — people can go and use it freely and capture the results and then have a sense of how it's working. so that for sure will happen. there is another potential problem, too, which is that in a normal search you simply get a series of links. this is actually giving you an answer to a question. the problem is, you can ask it
7:44 am
a question multiple times and get multiple different answers. for example, we asked it several times whether the us elections in 2020 were rigged, and got many different answers — and that has the potential to make some of these answers misleading. microsoft says the new version of bing will be open to everyone, but with a limited number of searches. and it says this is just the beginning of the ai revolution. james clayton, bbc news, seattle. shall i show you how it works? go on. show shall i show you how it works? go on- show me _ shall i show you how it works? go on. show me the _ shall i show you how it works? go on. show me the very _ shall i show you how it works? go on. show me the very latest - shall i show you how it works? go | on. show me the very latest sports information — on. show me the very latest sports information from _ on. show me the very latest sports information from around _ on. show me the very latest sports information from around the - on. show me the very latest sports information from around the world | on. show me the very latest sports i information from around the world in a digestible, comprehensible and accessible way. watch. genius, right? artificial intelligence! _ genius, right? artificial intelligence! a - genius, right? artificial intelligence! a bit - genius, right? artificial intelligence! a bit of i genius, right? artificial. intelligence! a bit of star genius, right? artificial- intelligence! a bit of star dust, that is what — intelligence! a bit of star dust, that is what is _ intelligence! a bit of star dust, that is what is going _ intelligence! a bit of star dust, that is what is going on - intelligence! a bit of star dust, that is what is going on at - intelligence! a bit of star dust, - that is what is going on at wrexham. hollywood stardust and they have shown everyone they are destined for bigger and better things. it is a treat bigger and better things. it is a great story _ bigger and better things. it is a

7:46 am
i always plan two penalties before the game, in case you got two in a game. and it was a great save. you win some, you lose some, your score some, you miss some. that's just the way it is. if lionel messi can miss penalties, i'm pretty sure paul mullin can. wasn't that nicely put? a fair assessment.— wasn't that nicely put? a fair assessment. he assessment. well done, paul. he won't wallow _ assessment. well done, paul. he won't wallow in _ assessment. well done, paul. he won't wallow in the _ assessment. well done, paul. he. won't wallow in the disappointment. how about this, though? league two grimsby knocking out championship high flyers luton. and there was no leaving it late here. three goals all in the first half. it was comfortable. they've only ever reached the fifth round four times in the club's history, so a huge night. and with wrexham's exit, they're the lowest ranked side remaining. and to top it off they get a premier league side in the shape of southampton next. for the first time in their history, fleetwood town are into the fifth round. they beat sheffield wednesday — carlos mendes gomes with the only goal as they overcame the league leaders. and championship leaders burnley are through after beating league one ipswich.
7:47 am
2—1, they progress. they're into the fifth round, premier league—bound currently, so all looking rosy. tonight, it's another clash for the ages. manchester united taking on leeds in the premier league, two great rivals. leeds just outside the relegation places, this their first game since the sacking ofjesse marsch. it could prove a good night for united, who would move level with neighbours manchester city with a win. it's always said if a manager is a colleague, gets sacked. so in general, i don't believe in it that you sack a manager, that you get better results. most of the times it doesn't work. let managers do their work, let's finish their work, and then make a good evaluation. but, yeah, obviously the pressure
7:48 am
is high with decision—makers in football clubs, and they turn. we know that wrexham have been making waves stateside. not quite as much as our next person. just wanted to give a nod this morning to a player they call the king. we're talking lebronjames, who's just become basketball�*s all—time record points scorer in the nba. he needed to reach 38,388 points which he did, notching 38 points for the la lakers overnight. the game was then stopped for celebrations and messages from celebrities like rihanna to mark the breaking of that 39—year record. fair to say everyone's in awe of the king. this guy, man, he was a big part of my inspiration. my hunger, my desire, wanting to be great. so to see him achieve this milestone, it means a lot, man. what he has accomplished as a basketball player is just absolutely incredible. he's got his longevity.

rain. and squally winds. details throughout the programme. good morning. it's wednesday, the 8th of february. 8,700 people are now known to have died following two devastating earthquakes which hit turkey and syria. that death toll is likely to rise significantly as rescue workers and civilians continue to search the rubble, and survivors trapped beneath it succumb to bitterly cold weather. the earthquakes were the biggest in the region since 1939, and they triggered dozens of aftershocks along the east anatolian fault line, which is one of the world's most active areas for seismic movement. howard johnson has the latest details. the desperate search for survivors continued overnight, often in bitterly cold conditions. but with each hour that passes, the chance of finding more people alive diminishes.
8:03 am
in worst hit hatay, turkey, a grim scene brightened by the smiles of rescuers. a woman has just been pulled alive from a collapsed building. elsewhere, relatives call out to their loved ones, assuring the trapped that help is on its way. the first 7.8 magnitude quake struck near gaziantep in the early hours of monday, followed by a 7.5 magnitude tremor hours later. whole streets reduced to rubble in less than a minute. syrian authorities have reported deaths as far south as hama, more than 150 miles from the epicentre. in this war torn country, there are limited emergency services, so relatives are digging with their hands to try to save the buried. translation: we need excavators. we need equipment. we don't have anything.
8:04 am
some, overwhelmed by heartbreak, like this man, desperately searching for his wife. rescuers in the country say there's still hope more people can be found. for sure, there are people still alive right now and waiting for us, waiting for help, waiting for our efforts to reach them. three britons are among the thousands missing, according to the foreign office. a team of 77 uk search and rescue specialists, equipped with concrete breaking tools and four sniffer dogs, arrived in turkey yesterday. in the uk, community centres continue to gather donations to send to those in need. king charles has sent his special prayers
8:05 am
to victims of the earthquake, and the rescue teams working tirelessly to help them. howard johnson, bbc news. this is the scene in the turkish city of gaziantep, where rescue efforts are continuing this morning. that is just one block of flats in a city where there has been so much devastation. street after street completely destroyed. you wonder where they start. where do they start looking in the rubble for people? but they have started. there was ever to continuing. this scene in gaziantep, the epicentre of the earthquake, just north of the city. very close to where the worst hit areas will be. around 20 something miles away.
8:06 am
gaziantep is a big city. 2 million people live there. it is also a centre, a regional hub to a lot of the refugees who have crossed the border. there are lots of people there who are incredibly vulnerable. they have already seen horrors through recent months in the years and now they have to do with his. look at that collapse. there is a new death toll of 9500 as we take you to the city of diyarbakir. the earthquake struck in the early hours of monday morning when everybody was in bed. 9500 people. that is the latest figure. of course, sadly, we do expect that of course, sadly, we do expect that number to continue to rise. not least because there have been a number of aftershocks. even this morning there have been more aftershocks and tremors. it makes those buildings even more precarious. 0ur middle east correspondent

anna fosterjoins us now from the city of marash. good morning. good morning doesn't feel like an appropriate thing to say because what you are seeing around you is just horrifying, isn't it? around you is 'ust horrifying, isn't it? y ., around you is 'ust horrifying, isn't it? _, ., around you is 'ust horrifying, isn't it? ., ., ., ~ around you is 'ust horrifying, isn't it? ., ., .,~ , around you is 'ust horrifying, isn't it? do you want to talk us through? yeah, this is _ it? do you want to talk us through? yeah, this is one _ it? do you want to talk us through? yeah, this is one of _ it? do you want to talk us through? yeah, this is one of the _ it? do you want to talk us through? yeah, this is one of the most - yeah, this is one of the most affected areas in southern turkey. what you are watching behind me, what you can see here, is a recovery operation. they know there is nobody alive. sadly. this was once a nine story block of apartments. just before we spoke, that figure had stopped moving. it looks like they have come quite close to finding another body, which they are doing with regularity here in this building. yesterday evening i watched them bring four people out of here. you know when they've found something because the dig stops. it's does big sweeping notions to
8:08 am
clear the rubble. you can see the rescuers pointing. i don't know if you can see over my shoulder, there are people who lived in these apartments waiting here. they were standing here last night. they have been here again this morning. desperately hoping that their relatives, their loved ones, will be found. it was about half past two this morning before i grabbed a couple of hours sleep. completely dark. the operation had stopped for the evening. a family came back and started themselves with their bare hands, pulling it bits of rubble, doing what they could. they didn't want to wait until morning. what they are waiting for it so awful to comprehend what they are so desperate to have the bodies of their loved ones returned and to try and bring some kind of awful closure to what has happened here over these last few days. and as he said, where you are at the moment is very much a recovery operation rather than a rescue operation.
8:09 am
for those people you have been talking about, those people who survived, those people who got out from under the rubble, what is life like for them today? it is enormously _ like for them today? it is enormously difficult, - like for them today? it is enormously difficult, notj like for them today? it 3 enormously difficult, not least because it is freezing cold. you can see the snowcapped mountains. that gives you an idea. you can also see how windy it is. imagine being out in these temperatures overnight with no shelter. these buildings that are still standing, they are not safe. people cannot go in there. they have to stay out on the streets. they have to burn what they can to try and make some sort of warmth, some sort of heat. food is incredibly difficult to get hold of. there are aid agencies, charity workers, that are starting to arrive here now. it's been a long and difficult journey. they are handing out soup and warm drinks. but if you go to the shops, most of them are closed. the petrol stations are open. the shelves have been stripped. even day—to—day living for those people
8:10 am
who have survived is enormously difficult. �* , , ., difficult. and probably even more difficult. and probably even more difficult outside _ difficult. and probably even more difficult outside of _ difficult. and probably even more difficult outside of the _ difficult. and probably even more difficult outside of the bigger- difficult outside of the bigger towns and cities in those remote rural areas that rescuers haven't even been able to get to yet? you're riuht. even been able to get to yet? you're right. absolutely. _ even been able to get to yet? you're right. absolutely. one _ even been able to get to yet? you're right. absolutely. one thing - even been able to get to yet? you're right. absolutely. one thing that - right. absolutely. one thing that you see here is you see rescuers, you see here is you see rescuers, you see, in fact, this big earth mover that hasjust you see, in fact, this big earth mover that has just arrived in the last ten minutes. you can see the people and the activity. this is a big city. but there are so many rural areas, smaller towns and villages that i passed along the way to get here. there is nobody working on those collapsed buildings at all there. nothing. just families sitting outside on plastic chairs, trying to keep warm. i saw people yesterday with luggage, with suitcases, packed, trying to leave this area. some hitchhiking by the side of the road. in these conditions, they are likely to get
8:11 am
harder in the next few days and weeks. thank you so much for talking to us. do take care. anna foster. we have had of contact from people this morning asking what they can do to help. asking how they can get help to turkey and to syria. we will be talking to somebody at half past eight who is gathering aid that will be sent over there in the next few days. do keep watching. indeed. thank you forjoining us. police searching for the missing mother—of—two nicola bulley have criticised amateur investigators who have reportedly broken into properties while hunting for clues. the a5—year—old went missing while walking her dog in st michael's 0n wyre, in lancashire, 12 days ago. 0ur reporter dave guest is there. dave, the police are notjust searching for nicola — they're also trying to manage the huge public interest in this case?
8:12 am
that's right. 0bviously, lots of public interest in this story. lots of people coming forward to help in the search in a coordinated way with the search in a coordinated way with the police. but on top of that we have had armchair detectives speculating online, which hasn't been helpful. yesterday the news from the police that some people have been breaking into empty properties along the river bank carrying out their own investigations. police say don't do it, it's illegal. if buildings have to be searched, the police will do it. the search will resume this morning, as it has done for the past, more than a week now. a0 detectives involved. following up 500 lines of inquiry. they're tracing 700 vehicle drivers who were in this area on the 27th ofjanuary, to see if they have seen anything. as yet they remain of the opinion it's most likely nicola did fall into the river, but they are keeping their options open, investigating various lines, in the hope of bringing some sort of firm used to the family, to nicola because my partner and her two young daughters
8:13 am
as soon as is humanly possible. —— to nicola's partner. as soon as is humanly possible. -- to nicola's partner.— here's carol with a look at the weather. good morning. if you're in the south of england, eastwards, quite a bit of england, eastwards, quite a bit of cloud around this morning. and also some mist and fog. some of that is freezing as temperatures have fallen away as low as minus seven degrees overnight. some mist in 0xfordshire. the mist and fog will be slow to live. when it does, cloud will break up. sunshine coming through parts of england and wales. some of the fog could linger, even into the early part of the afternoon. as we travel further north, there is a bit more cloud in north—west england, scotland and northern ireland, with some light patchy rain and drizzle across the far north—west of scotland. that is going to be replaced later on in the day by heavier rain coming in. that is going to be accompanied squally winds. costing as much as 70 miles
8:14 am
per hour in the outer hebrides. it is going to be windy as we push further south. is going to be windy as we push furthersouth. but is going to be windy as we push further south. but in the south itself we are looking at light winds and temperatures today seven to 10 degrees. through this evening and overnight come as this weather front sinks south with its rain, cold air will feed in behind. some wintry showers. down to about 200 metres in the north of scotland. stale gale force winds. 0n the tops of the mountains we are looking at blizzards. as we come further south, temperatures are still quite low but not as cold at night as it was last night. tomorrow night we are looking at a low of probably —3, as opposed to night. tomorrow night we are looking at a low of probably —3, as opposed to —7 night. tomorrow night we are looking at a low of probably —3, as opposed to —7 that night. tomorrow night we are looking at a low of probably —3, as opposed to —7 that we night. tomorrow night we are looking at a low of probably —3, as opposed to —7 that we had night. tomorrow night we are looking at a low of probably —3, as opposed to —7 that we had last night. tomorrow night we are looking at a low of probably —3, as opposed to —7 that we had last ni-ht. to —7 that we had last night. thank you. nearly quarter past eight. the church of england's ruling body will hold a debate today, into whether priests should be allowed to bless same—sex couples, after it confirmed it would still not allow gay marriage. the broadcaster sandi toksvig has been campaigning against the plans, which she says discriminate against lg bt people. she's been speaking to our religion
8:15 am
editor aleem maqbool. sandi toksvig says it's with reluctance she's weighed in on the church of england's stance on gay marriage. the church says it's not going to change its teaching that marriage is only between a woman and a man, but is proposing blessing prayers for same—sex couples. here's the thing about equality — it's not a word you qualify. you have it or you don't have it. what was it that compelled you to speak out in the first place? because, as you say, you're not... you're not an active member of the church of england. every time somebody condemns you, every time there's a headline like that, somebody somewhere in the lgbtq+ community gets hurt. and i can't sit by and let that happen. today, at the meeting of the church's national assembly — the general synod — there'll be a debate on the issue, with gay rights advocates in the church likely to express their disappointment that same—sex marriage is not being considered. i have many, many gay friends in faithful, faithful marriages and partnerships.
8:16 am
i'm well aware how painful it is for them. i'm also aware how painful it is for those who say, "well, we're just keeping to what the church has been teaching for 2,000 years. we're not the ones changing, why are we the bad guys all of a sudden?" but sandi toksvig doesn't buy the argument that pain's felt on both sides of the debate. the problem is, there's only one side that is impinging on the lives of others, and i'm afraid the very conservative people who interpret the bible with less love than i would hope are causing severe mental—health problems for the lgbtq+ community. not because they feel bad about who they are, but because of the way society stigmatises them. parliament made gay marriage legal here back in 2013, but the church didn't change its teaching — it still won't allow gay marriages in churches, or to be conducted by its clergy, and even the proposal of blessing prayers has upset some traditionalists. i think we're trying to do something which holds together the unity of the church, and i'm not going to apologise
8:17 am
for that because, you know, if you look around the world and see what usually happens when people disagree — i mean, that would be the easy thing to do, to split. but we really don't want to do that. over the weekend, the archbishop of canterbury was in south sudan with the pope, trying to build peace. some conservative african bishops have threatened to leave the global anglican community if the church of england moves towards same—sex marriage. and that's a consideration, too. is it ok to hold a church together by sacrificing lgbtq+ people on the altar of what they believe? is that 0k? people are suffering. it's a direct balance here — you want to keep the church united because you want to have a very conservative view. people are suffering here in the uk on a daily basis. sandi toksvig did accept an invitation to speak with archbishopjustin welby to discuss the matter, but she described the meeting as "disappointing". within the church later today,
8:18 am
expect strong views to be aired as same—sex marriage is debated. aleem maqbool, bbc news. hugely controversial issue. alim joins us now. good morning. this debate could prove to be very divisive, couldn't it?- debate could prove to be very divisive, couldn't it? yes, a lot of --eole divisive, couldn't it? yes, a lot of people are _ divisive, couldn't it? yes, a lot of people are unhappy _ divisive, couldn't it? yes, a lot of people are unhappy on _ divisive, couldn't it? yes, a lot of people are unhappy on both - divisive, couldn't it? yes, a lot of. people are unhappy on both sides. you have those who say, look, if gay marriage is not a sin, then let's have equality, allow gay marriages to happen in churches, allow church of england clergy to conduct gay marriages. and the other side has conservatives who say, if it is a sin, why offer blessing prayers at all, because that sort of implies you are conferring god's blessing on a union which is sinful? there are a lot of people saying the church of england should call it, really, either it is right or wrong. and
8:19 am
they are choosing a path in the middle to try and keep people together. and to some extent, as i say, there are those on either side who are not happy with the position. a story on the front page of the times and the daily mail today suggesting that bishops have announced that they are launching a project about gendered language, a suggestion that priors like our father may need to become gender neutral. what have you heard about that? , , , ., . ., that? yes, this is a pro'ect that will start in h that? yes, this is a pro'ect that will start in the h that? yes, this is a pro'ect that will start in the spring _ that? yes, this is a project that will start in the spring looking i that? yes, this is a project that. will start in the spring looking at gender neutral zones for god more for prayers and frames. we are not talking about the church of england. —— we are not talking about the church of england changing its g on this any time soon. and actually, this any time soon. and actually, this has been going on for a very long time. clergy who have been choosing to use god rather than saying he or even using them. this has been going on in the church of england for decades. certainly around the
8:20 am
ordination of women. even those who don't want to change the language because it is the language used in the bible, for example, it is not because they think mail —— god is male, it's something they feel god is above, being male orfemale. those conservatives who don't want change say this is the word of scripture. but the debate has been going on in the church of england for a very long time, long before the current conversation about these kind of things. thank you very much indeed. aleem maqbool. thank you. 20 past eight. he stole the show at the opening ceremony of last year's commonwealth games in birmingham — a huge mechanical bull with smoke billowing from his nostrils. where is he now? he was called raging bull, which makes him sound quite cross. he was destined to be scrapped afterwards by the people of birmingham demanded to be —— to keep
8:21 am
him and now his forever home has been revealed. we'll tell you where in a moment. but first, 0livia hutchinson has been looking back at the impact he made. this remarkable structure, with its red eyes flaring, quickly became the iconic feature of last summer's commonwealth games. after making its debut at the opening ceremony, it was then moved with a police escort to the city centre, standing prominently outside the library of birmingham. it brought in the crowd is full of people desperate to see it up close. is full of people desperate to see it up close-— it up close. just incredible. i've never seen _ it up close. just incredible. i've never seen anything _ it up close. just incredible. i've never seen anything like - it up close. just incredible. i've never seen anything like it. - it up close. just incredible. i've never seen anything like it. it's amazing- _ never seen anything like it. it's amazing- i _ never seen anything like it. it's amazing. i can't _ never seen anything like it. it's amazing. i can't believe somebody made _ amazing. i can't believe somebody made that — amazing. i can't believe somebody made that. it amazing. i can't believe somebody made that. �* amazing. i can't believe somebody made that-— amazing. i can't believe somebody made that. �* ., , ., ., made that. it wasn't the only one of its kind in the _ made that. it wasn't the only one of its kind in the area. _ made that. it wasn't the only one of its kind in the area. a _ made that. it wasn't the only one of its kind in the area. a bronze - made that. it wasn't the only one of its kind in the area. a bronze bull i its kind in the area. a bronze bull statue outside the bullring shopping centre has been a fixture since 2003, and is now an adopted mascot of the city. the plan was originally
8:22 am
to dismantle and recycle the raging bull shortly after the game is finished. but that was scrapped following a campaign to save it. there have been a few challenges along the way, many finding somewhere to store the metallic monster. what finally, a new home has been found. that home is at new street station in birmingham. we can cross now to our reporter kathryn stanczyszyn, who can give us the big reveal this morning. where exactly is the bull going to go? it needs a lot of space. well, ri . ht go? it needs a lot of space. well, right here. _ go? it needs a lot of space. well, right here, actually. _ go? it needs a lot of space. well, right here, actually. i— go? it needs a lot of space. well, right here, actually. i am - go? it needs a lot of space. well, | right here, actually. i am standing where the ball is going to be in its new home at new street station here in birmingham. —— the ball. forget about those heart stopping moments of athletic prowess. the amazing venues, the incredible weather. even that appearance of rob god 0zzy that appearance of rob god ozzy osbourne coming out of nowhere 0sbourne coming out of nowhere closing the whole thing, the star of

the commonwealth games 2022 was the raging bull. but his future was in jeopardy. he didn't have a home. now he does. we are going to talk very soon to some of the people who have helped that happen. but let's take you back to where we first heard of the raging bull. he burst onto the scene in fiery splendour at the opening ceremony of the commonwealth games. they are to represent the industrial heritage of the west midlands, and also the power of its future as well. two of the people involved in that, you were two of the chain women, because it didn't shy away from some of the darker sides of the industrial past. the chain women represented women who worked in appalling conditions on chains used in the slave trade. you came on, it was quite an incredible moment. ~ ., ., , came on, it was quite an incredible moment. . . ., , ., came on, it was quite an incredible moment. . . ., ~ moment. what was that like? it was really exciting- _ moment. what was that like? it was really exciting. very _ moment. what was that like? it was really exciting. very emotional, - really exciting. very emotional, actually — really exciting. very emotional, actually. and to represent such an iconic— actually. and to represent such an iconic person like mary macarthur,

8:31 am
it will be —11 in some of the cities from today, and it's snowing, it's raining in the area. so the community will be concentrating on collecting tents and other aid to support the communities on the ground. the mother of archie battersbee said she believes her son's death was an accident — caused by falling from the banister at home. the 12—year—old's life support was withdrawn last august after his parents' legal battle with the nhs hospital treating him. at his inquest the court heard archie had shared messages showing a "very low mood". today police are expected to reveal more about his internet searches. the family of a man from notting hill who's been missing for more than two weeks say the wait for answers is "agonising". nathan cole, who's 32, was last seen in walthamstow on the 21st of january. police have issued a fresh appeal for information and are using divers

8:33 am
once again this morning, so reduced visibility on many of our roads — do take care — but it's quite patchy, and for many it's a bright start to the day. and there'll be more sunny skies as we head through the afternoon in particular, the breeze picking up a touch, but the winds still fairly light. temperatures around about the seasonal average. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, then it's still going to be feeling cold, but not as cold as it has been — temperatures still low enough for a touch of frost, though, into tomorrow morning. because it is a bit breezier, there won't be so much mist and fog forming, either. now, there's a weak weather front sinking southwards tomorrow, introducing more cloud — but, again, it should stay dry with more sunshine through the afternoon and feeling a little milder. there's lots more on our website and social media — including the cat who got stuck in a tube station tunnel. that's it for now — i'm backjust after 9.00. hello, this is breakfast
8:34 am
withjon kay and sally nugent. let's return to our main story now — and it's the rising death toll in turkey and syria following monday's earthquakes. since we've been on air this morning, the confirmed number of fatalities has risen from just under8,000 to 9,500. this is the scene in the turkish city of gaziantep. that is close to the epicentre. as you can see, aid agencies hard at work trying to go through the rubble and they are warning their efforts are being hampered by the weather. freezing temperatures. and real trouble reaching more remote areas. it is the city centre, but out in the mountains, where there is a snow and ice and very little infrastructure, it is proving really hard, so we don't know what the death toll could end up being stuck we do get some reports of the desperation of people who are out in those remote areas who are begging for help. very difficult images for
8:35 am
all of us to watch, i know. if you are watching at home you may be upset by some of the images we have been showing you. it really difficult to watch but there are stories of hope. communities across the uk have been collecting supplies to send to the affected areas — while specialist british teams, including dogs, have been despatched to search the rubble. graham satchell has this report on the people doing everything they can to help. a turkish community centre in north london, and everyone is glued to their phone — trying desperately to get news of loved ones far away. we are on our phones. we can't communicate with them. there's the internet — internet has collapsed. their electricity has collapsed. people are just in cold. they are worried to get under any sort of building because they feel like it's going to happen again. another centre in the northeast of england and, again, everyone is on their phone, watching the news, trying to contact relatives. auntie, uncle. we don't know yet what happened to them.
8:36 am
so there are other family members that you don't know where they are? no, no. there's a lot of people you know, waiting to help. in swindon, in wiltshire, the local community have come together to donate blankets, sleeping bags, clothes — doing anything they can to help. it's snowing, it's minus three, the ground is frost and everything's out there. and i don't know what we can do. and this is all i can do to help them. a friend of mine who went out yesterday, his wife was in turkey and their building has collapsed. and his wife, the mother of the wife, and two sisters are missing. search dog, call out if you can hear me. | this is colin, a specialist search—and—rescue dog. rescue teams across the country have now scrambled to the earthquake zone. on this government flight, there are 77 fire and rescue staff, four search dogs, and specialist equipment like seismic listening devices.
8:37 am
the government says more aid will be sent in the coming hours. we've got both the skills, the competency and experience and the equipment that if people are alive under that rubble pile, we'll find them. back in london, a long queue of cars. it is a trafficjam of generosity. again, people donating whatever they can. in the forklift truck, baran is helping to coordinate. like so many here, the tragedy has hit him personally. we've got five family members that's died in the earthquake, you know. just trying to help out the rest to survive, so that's about it. there's nothing much we can do, apart from help out from here. the scale of this disaster is staggering. the world is now in a race against time to save as many people as possible trapped under the rubble. graham satchell, bbc news. the scale of the disaster is
8:38 am
staggering but the speed and size of the response is also staggering. phil mccannjoins us now from the uk—med warehouse in stockport, which is packed with emergency supplies. when will all of those supplies get on the road? in when will all of those supplies get on the road?— on the road? in the coming days, the sa . on the road? in the coming days, they say- look— on the road? in the coming days, they say. look at _ on the road? in the coming days, they say. look at this. _ on the road? in the coming days, they say. look at this. this - on the road? in the coming days, they say. look at this. this is - on the road? in the coming days, i they say. look at this. this is what a hospital look like packed into boxes on the far right you have them maternity unit, in the middle of the major injuries unit, and over here, this is the nurse's station that will go in the middle of this public hospital. the stretcher, called a scoop, and you have some locked cabinets therefore the controlled medication. stationary, all of the practical things they will need to run a hospital. jackie is in charge of fundraising for uk—med, the only uk charity that does this kind of medical help in disaster situations, coordinated by the world health organization. medical help in disaster situations, coordinated by the world health organization. this medical help in disaster situations, coordinated by the world health organization. this is medical help in disaster situations, coordinated by the world health organization. this is a medical help in disaster situations, coordinated by the world health organization. this is a huge 0rganization. this is a huge operation. organization. this is a huge operation-— organization. this is a huge o eration. , , operation. the disaster is huge, the scale of it- — operation. the disaster is huge, the scale of it- we _ operation. the disaster is huge, the scale of it. we know— operation. the disaster is huge, the scale of it. we know the _ operation. the disaster is huge, the scale of it. we know the emergency| scale of it. we know the emergency medical— scale of it. we know the emergency medical needs will be significant

8:43 am
and he soon had another — different outcome, though. and so it was sheffield united scored late again, two late goals in the 9ath and 96th minutes to knock wrexham out — not that their goal—scorer was getting too down about what might have been. that was always going there, that's just the way it is. i always plan two penalties before the game, in case you got two in a game. and it was a great save. you win some, you lose some, your score some, you miss some. that's just the way it is. if lionel messi can miss penalties, i'm pretty sure paul mullin can. iam sure i am sure ryan and rob will say the same thing, you dust yourself off and go again. how about this, though? league two grimsby knocking out championship high flyers luton. and there was no leaving it late here — three goals all in the first half — it was comfortable. they've only ever reached the fifth round four times in the club's history, so a huge night. and with wrexham's exit they're the lowest—ranked side remaining. and to top it off they get
8:44 am
a premier league side in the shape of southampton next. for the first time in their history, fleetwood town are into the fifth round. they beat sheffield wednesday — carlos mendes gomes with the only goal as they overcame the league leaders. and championship leaders burnley are through after beating league one ipswich. they're into the fifth round and they top the championship as well, so all is looking rosy for them. it has been a great fa cup so far, hasn't it? so many premier league sides knocked out, we have had some great stories like wrexham, and i'm sure the drama will continue. definitely. sure the drama will continue. definitely-_ sure the drama will continue. definitel . .. ~' . ~ definitely. you will like this. we have some _ definitely. you will like this. we have some football _ definitely. you will like this. we have some football for - definitely. you will like this. we have some football for you. - definitely. you will like this. we| have some football for you. kind definitely. you will like this. we - have some football for you. kind of. we're going to show you a great ian wright finish in a moment. not in front of goal but using his other talent — plastering. it isa it is a very smooth finish! the former striker joined
8:45 am
another ex—england legend — kelly smith — to help renovate the facilties at a girls' football club in manchester. it's all part of the effort to build on the lionness' victory in the euros last year, and get more women and girls playing the beautiful game, as ian haslam reports. england's euro 2022 triumph was a defining moment in women's football. but amid the celebrations came a warning. this game needs continuous support for it to grow and continue to grow, because we've seen what's happened with a generation of people that didn't have the opportunities. that passion brought ian wright and former lioness kelly smith to cheetham hill sports club. their mission — to help build female changing rooms. what about this, though? from football punditry to football—themed diy sos, i guess! well, for the cause, you know, what we're talking about for this particular cause and for the girls to have their own changing room, because this is where the dreams start. so many things need still to be done, and the fact is that the girls won the euros and done well. everything has to be sped up now — we have to get it done and we have to start with grassroots. right, we better let you crack
8:46 am
on before this lot dries. yeah, before it dries — i haven't even skimmed it properly! this project is happening with money from the barclays community football fund. it's all about inclusion. when someone comes along and says they want to fund and help us build the female changing rooms, we snapped their hand off and said, "thank you, please do come and help," because it's been much needed. what do you think when you come to a place like this, and how does it compare to your growing up in the game? well, i didn't have a base like this growing up. - i was playing a boys team, got kicked off of that - for being the best player. mm. jealous parents! and this girls' football club, cheetham girls, they have i three football teams, i but nowhere to change. i used to get changed in a car. i you're back in the car, freezing, i and you've got a towel around you. so it's a safe space for them to leave their stuff and just. really have fun with it. you're hoping that the facilities, that they can change in their own changing rooms, they can get to play on pitches, we can improve the coaching — all these things have to happen. the volunteers have even transformed this pitchside storage unit with phrases like "from grassroots to greatness". for now, grassroots greatness
8:47 am
is the aim for these girls. what do you lot think about having new changing rooms now? that's good, isn't it? i think it's great. so, like, before we play, we can hype each other up. i feel like it's getting better all the time, and we're getting more stuff and that's really nice. how are you doing this season? um, we've almost won the league, we just need to get one _ more point to win it. wow. it's home! it's all about the legacy that the lionesses — . we still want to keep that role in. it's all about equal access, - for girls to get that opportunity to play football in schools. if the boys have it, - why can't the girls have it? well, people can still maybe take their eye off the ball at this level, and we don't want that to happen. and, kelly, have you seen his plastering in there? it's actually better than mine! thank you very much. not surprised, he used to do it... that's right, you try to bring her out, and this, my plastering was good! it's good — ijust commented, it was like mr miyagi off the karate kid, but with... 0h, wax on, wax on, wax on, wax on!
