this is bbc news with the latest headlines. rescue teams continue their search for survivors in turkey and syria — as the number killed by two huge earthquakes passes 9,000. these are the latest live pictures of the recovery operation on the turkish side of the border president volodymyr zelensky is expected in the uk this morning for the first time since the russian invasion of ukraine. police say they remain open to new information about missing "god is neither male norfemale" the church of england is considering gender—neutral terms. the company building the controversial hs2 rail line has underestimated its impact on habitats and wildlife, according to a coalition

of wildlife charities. 0n the first stamps featuring king charles iii have been unveiled by the royal mail. more than 9,500 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 their injuries and the 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 activity. this is the scene live. this is gaziantep in the south—east of turkey, the historic city of gaziantep. so many buildings destroyed, as in other cities in turkey and indeed threw into syria. and a delicate operation for the rescue as there, as they try to determine whether anyone still survives under collapsed buildings like this. international rescue teams, search and rescue teams are pouring into the region, all the time. they really are against the clock now, because of the injuries people will have suffered, and because, as we indicated, of the bitterly cold weather that is making those rescue efforts incredibly difficult, and the prospects for survival worse. we will be live in

the region shortly. at the first of our reports this morning is from 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 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? where have you gone? 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. we can bring you some more live pictures. we are getting these pictures. we are getting these pictures in from turkey, especially, all the time, back to the scene in gaziantep. rescuers are desperately

trying to pick their way carefully through the rubble. there have been a number of aftershocks after those to make earthquakes two days ago in the early hours. —— after those two earthquakes. another sizeable earthquakes. another sizeable earthquake the following day. still wary of the possibility of other aftershocks. they continue to bravely do their work. people have been found alive. they hope that they can still find more. but time and the weather, and everything in this situation, is against them. but they will do their best to discover whether anybody are surviving underneath the collapsed buildings. i'm not quite sure we saw a few of the rescuers raising their arms in the rescuers raising their arms in the air, i don't know if they have

heard something of think they might have found someone. of course, we will keep a close eye on the rescue situation as international search and rescue teams arrive and help pours into the region. that is gaziantep in the south—east of turkey. we will keep a close eye on that for you. 0ur correspondent anna foster has been travelling to the epicentre of the earthquake and sent this report from maras in southern turkey in the last hour well, in many ways this is the epicentre, this is one of their worst affected areas. this is where the quake happened in the early hours of the morning. and you can really say, this isjust hours of the morning. and you can

really say, this is just one small snapshot of the devastation. this was a nine story apartment building, with four flats was a nine story apartment building, with fourflats on was a nine story apartment building, with four flats on each floor. they know that there is nobody alive here any more. so what they are doing is any more. so what they are doing is a recovery operation. in fact, the figure you can see, it is a digger that has been sweeping away the rubble. when it stops, that is often an indication they have found people. what they do then, the humans moved in, the rescue workers, and treat the bodies they find. i was watching them do this last night, with such care and compassion. they wrap them carefully in blankets, they bring them out of here, in some cases for the families that are waiting. just over my shoulder, there is a woman that is wrapped in a blanket, and she has been waiting since last night. she came back again this morning, waiting for news of relatives, of loved ones. and that is just one family. think how many times that is replicated across this part of southern turkey. you only then began to get an idea of the real scale of the devastation that has been

caused. this is a big city. what they also do as they try and focus on buildings like this one, the bigger buildings as well. even in maras, there are buildings where nobody is going through the rubble, nobody is going through the rubble, nobody is going through the rubble, nobody is searching for the survivors. 0r searching for bodies. and when you get outside of the big cities, again, the smaller towns, they have heard, many of them, no help at all yet. it's not that they help at all yet. it's not that they help has not been promised. the international community has said that they will send whatever turkey needs. it'sjust that they will send whatever turkey needs. it's just a that they will send whatever turkey needs. it'sjust a question that they will send whatever turkey needs. it's just a question of actually getting at here through, in some cases, mountain roads, to get here, where the asphalt, the service, is cracked and broken. it leads to huge queues on the roads because you have people trying to get out of these areas in their cars, the same time as search and rescue teams, medics, experts, are trying to get in. so that makes everything a lot slower than it to be.

our correspondent tom bateman, in adana. explainjust our correspondent tom bateman, in adana. explain just where adana is located, the situation there? 0bviously, scenes of devastation behind you. obviously, scenes of devastation behind you-— obviously, scenes of devastation behind ou. , . , behind you. yes, the city is at the west end of _ behind you. yes, the city is at the west end of what _ behind you. yes, the city is at the west end of what was _ behind you. yes, the city is at the west end of what was that - behind you. yes, the city is at the west end of what was that a - west end of what was that a elongated earthquake zone. it suffered significant damage to several buildings, very high rise buildings, although much of the city, when you compare it to the rest of the region, i think i might have to be quiet now, we are just going to check, because every now and then they are asking people to stop talking. i willjust check with my team. do we need to stop? we can carry on talking. as i said, —— zone, gaziantep being the epicentre, obviously it was the worst affected. yeah, things are functioning, there is power in that city. they have the

heavy lifting machinery, and the ability with these teams to start trying to clear the rubble. that is what they have been doing, they have been here since the earthquake took place. in this building, this wreckage, they have only been pulling bodies. around day and night, the relatives of people who are in the building, other people evacuated from other buildings here, who have just been waiting for news. what has been happening every 30 minutes or so is that the team is on top ask everybody to stop talking for complete silence, just in case they think they might have heard a voice or they can feel or hear something moving. tragically, so far, none of that has led to any good news for the people waiting here. but, you know, it is a sign that there is still hope. but as that there is still hope. but as that window of time continues after the earthquake itself, obviously things become much more difficult. what can you tell us about aid that

is coming into adana? i am just talking to somebody from the charity human appeal, in gaziantep a moment ago. they are bringing in hygiene kits, food and so forth. the scale of the task awaiting those charities, and humanitarian organisations, is clearly enormous? yes, there is aid coming in. there are certain rescue workers coming on as well. that is something we saw on our way into the airport itself. it is not a huge airport. it's one of the only ones that is functioning in the only ones that is functioning in the region. that is why this has become a hub for operations. the problem is, even when they get into this city, it is getting further afield. just on what should have been quite a simple drive yesterday, to a town that is about an hour and a half drive from here, it took at least twice that to get there. and there were big queues for fuel, least twice that to get there. and there were big queues forfuel, for petrol, on the way. 0nce there were big queues forfuel, for petrol, on the way. once we got

there, the town is in a state of devastation. people are finding it very, very hard to travel, to evacuate and sleep outside. for the humanitarian effort, first it is getting to these places, then it is prioritising. yesterday, we were saying that they had had a couple of blankets and some bread, but nothing more. and the longer that goes on, we have minus five celsius overnight last night. you know, that is another threat to people, and a life—threatening situation, especially as lots of people escaped from their homes in the middle of the night, even in some cases not wearing shoes, just wearing pyjamas. so, these are brutal conditions for people. and it is the scale of what has happened over such a vast area that makes it so difficult for rescue workers.— that makes it so difficult for rescue workers. ., ., ,, , ., , rescue workers. tom, thank you very much, rescue workers. tom, thank you very much. tom — rescue workers. tom, thank you very much, tom bateman _ rescue workers. tom, thank you very much, tom bateman in _ rescue workers. tom, thank you very much, tom bateman in adana. - let's turn to the response from people in the uk.

are looking at how their resources can be best deployed. they are looking at deploying the resources in this warehouse in the next few days. good to hear from the charities both in the region, and back here in the uk, to see how they are working at both sides of this really significant operation for them, and for all of the other charities and aid agencies working across turkey and northern syria. we can take you back to the scene live in gaziantep. we have been keeping a very close eye on rescue efforts there. this scene is replicated sony times in turkey and northern syria. —— so many times. all of those involved in the rescue efforts are acutely aware that time is running out what anybody who might be a survivor of these earthquakes, because of injuries, obviously, but because of

the bitterly cold weather, as we have been hearing, some of the coldest weather coming up today and tomorrow. but already bitterly cold, even during the day. pair uncertainly at night time. —— and certainly at night—time. as the earthquake passes 9000, sadly, that figure expected to rise significantly. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky will arrive in the uk today — in his first visit since russia's invasion of his country last year. downing street says he'll hold meetings with prime minister rishi sunak and make a speech in parliament. we can get more from our chief political correspondent nick eardley. good morning. 0bviously good morning. obviously a lot of secrecy, for obvious reasons, around this visit, until the last moment.

so, the president's second visit outside his country since the war begun? outside his country since the war beuun? , , ., begun? yes, the first to the uk since the russian _ begun? yes, the first to the uk since the russian invasion - begun? yes, the first to the uk since the russian invasion of. since the russian invasion of ukraine. i think it is designed to be quite a symbolic moment of the uk saying that it's stands completely behind ukraine, there is going to be a visit to downing street. president zelensky will then address parliament later on today. it's not the first time he has done that. he did not remotely last year. but it will be a big moment when he appears before mps and peers later on today. my before mps and peers later on today. my understanding is that the uk is also going to announce that it is expanding the support it is giving to train the ukrainian military. there will be a media training given to ukrainian marines, and the uk will also offer to train ukrainian troops when it comes to using jet

fighters. that is something that has been talked about a lot over the last few weeks, the extent of support ukraine would get with jet planes. so far, the uk is not sending any actual aircraft, but it is going to make that offer later, to train up ukrainian pilots. we have had a statement in from rishi sunak in the last hour as well, saying that his visit today is a testament to ukraine's courage, determination and fight, and a testament to the unbreakable friendship between our two eu countries. the prime minister also saying that he wants to ensure the ukraine has a military able to defend its interests well into the future. there have been all of those questions swirling about in westminster over the past few months about the financial support that is on offer to ukraine, just how much money is being spent to make sure that ukraine has the facilities it needs. i think this is a very clear

message from mr sunak, and from downing street this morning, that they see this as a long—term thing. they are not moving back at all from the significant support that has already been given to ukraine. briefly, how notable is it that president zelensky has come to london before brussels? the uk is the first of the allies to confirm that it will be sending tanks to ukraine? , ., , ukraine? yes, i think it is significant. _ ukraine? yes, i think it is significant. i— ukraine? yes, i think it is significant. i think - ukraine? yes, i think it is significant. i think it - ukraine? yes, i think it is significant. i think it is . ukraine? yes, i think it is significant. i think it is a i ukraine? yes, i think it is. significant. i think it is a sign ukraine? yes, i think it is- significant. i think it is a sign of just how close the relationship between the uk and ukraine has become over the past few months. since russia invaded, last year. there is honestly a close relationship between president zelensky and boris johnson relationship between president zelensky and borisjohnson as well. he was in ukraine a few weeks ago. it is a big deal. this is only the second foreign trip are being made by president zelensky. as i say, it will be a big symbol today of how close the relationship between the two countries is.— two countries is. thank you very much. two countries is. thank you very much- nick— two countries is. thank you very much. nick eardley, _ two countries is. thank you very much. nick eardley, chief- two countries is. thank you very l much. nick eardley, chief political

who were across this area on the day that she disappeared. they are interrogating things like data from her smart watch to see if that gives any clues. even though they are concentrating on the river, they say they are not discounting anything. they are saying that armchair amateur sleuth is trying to get involved in this are not helpful. a lot of people have joined the search officially, and have been very helpful. 0ther officially, and have been very helpful. other people have been speculating online, which can be hurtful to the family, and yesterday police said, amazingly, some investigators have been breaking into empty buildings along the river bank, in case they have found some clues. they are saying, don't do that, it is illegal under buildings need to be searched, we will do it properly. meanwhile, nicola's partner, and her two daughters, aged six and nine, are waiting desperately for some sort of firm information about what has happened to her, clinging to the hope that perhaps we didn't fall into the river, maybe there is another explanation as to what has happened

to her. at the moment, nobody can answer that question, where did nicola bulley go on the friday morning, january the 27th? the investigation goes on today. thank ou ve investigation goes on today. thank you very much- _ time for a look at the weather forecast. it started on a foggy note across england and wales. a lot of that is lifting now. some of it will not until lunchtime, but we will have a lot of dry conditions on sunshine. across scotland and northern ireland, we have more cloud, patchy light rain. through the day, heavier rain will spell in from the north—west, accompanied by squally winds, gales, even severe gales, with gusts in excess of 70 mph in the north—west. temperatures today, from about seven up to 10 degrees. through this evening and overnight, this band brain sinks southwards and

weakens all the time. behind it, cold airfeeds in. increasingly, showers will be wintry, above about 200 metres, and with gales, especially across the north of scotland, we will still have some blowing snow. some blizzard conditions. not quite as cold in the south as it has been in the last few nights. these are the overnight lows. roughly —i or possibly plus three. hello, this is bbc news with me, annita mcveigh. the headlines: rescue teams continue their search for survivors in turkey and syria — as the number killed by two huge earthquakes passes 9,000. president volodymyr zelensky is expected in the uk this morning for the first time since the russian invasion of ukraine. police say they remain open to new information about missing woman nicola bulley as the search in lancashire enters its 12th day.

craig bennett. give us an overview of this project on wildlife. anyone who has seen this construction taking place will have seen the devastation taking place as it cuts a great swathes through our countryside. brute place as it cuts a great swathes through our countryside. we were romised through our countryside. we were promised a _ through our countryside. we were promised a would _ through our countryside. we were promised a would deliver- through our countryside. we were promised a would deliver no - through our countryside. we were promised a would deliver no net i through our countryside. we were i promised a would deliver no net loss of biodiversity, of nature in our countryside, and what we have found in our report, published today, is when you look in detail at what is happening on the ground, and you look at the habitat mapping that hs2 has done and what they are claiming to produce, new areas of tree planting and so on to replace woodland that has been lost, we have found that on phase one of the route, from london to the west midlands, the loss of nature is eight times worse than hs2 are claiming, and on phase 2a, it is

already three and a half times worse than hs2 are claiming, so we are saying that parliament should not accept these bland assurances from hsz. accept these bland assurances from hs2. they need to scrutinise and look at the evidence on the ground themselves and not trust these spreadsheets they are producing. 50 spreadsheets they are producing. so you are not talking about small margins, eight times worse, the loss of nature and habitat on phase one, so not small margins. this is what hsz so not small margins. this is what hs2 are saying in response, they say, we don't recognise the figures, nor do we believe them to be reliable. the wildlife trusts have undertaken limited desk research and have not accessed huge areas of land for ecological survey, in contrast to the ecologists who have compiled the h52 to the ecologists who have compiled the hs2 data. what you make of that reply? i the h52 data. what you make of that rel ? .. . the h52 data. what you make of that rel ? ~ , ., ,, the h52 data. what you make of that rel ? ~' , ., , , . the h52 data. what you make of that rel? ~ . ., reply? i think it is absurd. we have not staff

existing species rich grassland. i could go on and on.— could go on and on. and for the record, could go on and on. and for the record. the _ could go on and on. and for the record, the research _ could go on and on. and for the| record, the research undertaken could go on and on. and for the - record, the research undertaken by the wildlife trusts and the charities that make up the wildlife trusts, has that been limited to desk research, or have you actually been out on the ground? we desk research, or have you actually been out on the ground?— desk research, or have you actually been out on the ground? we are out on the ground _ been out on the ground? we are out on the ground all— been out on the ground? we are out on the ground all the _ been out on the ground? we are out on the ground all the time, - been out on the ground? we are out on the ground all the time, we - on the ground all the time, we always backed this up with real evidence on the ground. of course, we have undertaken desk research, and there is no shame in that at all, and we have tried to do it with as much data as it is available from hsz, but hsz as much data as it is available from hs2, but hs2 is not being fully transparent about the data that they are collecting. we were promised that they would be no net loss of biodiversity from this construction, thatis biodiversity from this construction, that is clearly not happening. we were promised it would be publicly available, that is not happening either. it is time for government and parliament to step in and scrutinise, form their own opinion by looking the work we have done, looking at what hs2 has done, we need government to take accountability for their own company

and find out the truth, in their own words. let's have a look at what is going on on the ground here. serra; going on on the ground here. sorry to interrupt. _ going on on the ground here. sorry to interrupt, you _ going on on the ground here. sorry to interrupt, you are _ going on on the ground here. sorry to interrupt, you are saying one thing, hs2 are saying another, you have explained in your last answer what you would like to see happen, but what more can be done to actually... the wildlife trusts are seeing some habitats have been lost for good, but what can be done to replace, if replace is the right word, those habitats and ensure that nature has an opportunity to thrive, albeit in different areas? weill. albeit in different areas? well, obviously. _ albeit in different areas? well, obviously, some _ albeit in different areas? well, obviously, some of— albeit in different areas? well, obviously, some of the - albeit in different areas? well, | obviously, some of the habitats albeit in different areas? -ii obviously, some of the habitats will never be replaced, you cannot replace ancient woodland, so trying to sort of that would be the same as knocking down warwick castle and replacing it with a fibreglass alternative, it cannot be done. but we were promised that, for some habitats, hs2 would be looking to create new habitats, doing the same

job for nature, they promised no net loss, and they are not even delivering that. most big construction projects in this country have to deliver at least a 10% increase in nature, and that is the bare minimum, but we think wildlife trusts should be held accountable to deliver that, and what we need now is a real pause and rethink about how hs2 is going around its data, collecting data, and calculating how it is going to create new nature. we need government to step in to hold them to account for the promises made, and make sure it delivers on existing promises but also ask more from hs2, because we are seeing it is a catastrophic loss of nature along the route of the railway line, and hs2 is clearly off track on the promises it has made to parliament and the public. promises it has made to parliament and the public-— promises it has made to parliament and the public. thank you very much for our and the public. thank you very much for your time — and the public. thank you very much for your time today. _ the national institute

of economic and social research but think tank has predicted that the uk is likely to avoid recession this year. in its latest quarterly outlook, the institute says the economy will grow marginally but warns that for at least seven million households, it will still feel like a recession. the forecast comes ahead of official figures due on friday, which should give us some insight into how the economy is doing. let's speak to our economics correspondent andy verity. well, it is really interesting, we traditionally think of the recession of the bad times and traditionally think of the recession of the bad time— traditionally think of the recession of the bad times and the recovery is the aood of the bad times and the recovery is the good times. _ of the bad times and the recovery is the good times, but _ of the bad times and the recovery is the good times, but that _ of the bad times and the recovery is the good times, but that is - of the bad times and the recovery is the good times, but that is talking i the good times, but that is talking about the economy as a whole, all the goods and services we produce, and whether they are growing or shrinking. that is not the same as the fortunes of households. sometimes, for example, in a recovery our living standards might go down, that happened in the wake of the globalfinancial go down, that happened in the wake of the global financial crisis, and sometimes in the recession, we can

get better off. unfortunately, what we are looking at in these predictions, from a centre—left think tank, founded by the famous 20th—century economistjohn maynard keynes, they have been making the independent predictions, not funded by any political party, for decades now, and they are saying although we will get some growth, for 7 million families who will see their living standards fall, they will feel a lot worse off, to the tune of about £a000 per year because of the cost of energy and food, which has gone up of energy and food, which has gone up so much that they will feel like they have 7—i3% less disposable income. and that of course is a huge hit, by any standards, possibly the worst hit to living standards since the i9a0s. worst hit to living standards since the 1940s. �* , , . worst hit to living standards since the 1940s. �* , , , �*, worst hit to living standards since the1940s. �* , , , �*, , the 1940s. andy, yes, let's 'ust focus on that, i the 1940s. andy, yes, let's 'ust focus on that, because * the 1940s. andy, yes, let'sjust

focus on that, because there i the 1940s. andy, yes, let'sjust focus on that, because there is| the 1940s. andy, yes, let'sjustl focus on that, because there is a big gulf, isn't there, between what a statistic might say and the lived experience of people who are struggling, and that represents, that economic data represents a huge political problem as well, in terms of how the government respond to that? ., ., , ,., , of how the government respond to that? ., ., , ,., y ., of how the government respond to that? ., y ., that? yeah, absolutely, and so you have on the — that? yeah, absolutely, and so you have on the one _ that? yeah, absolutely, and so you have on the one hand _ that? yeah, absolutely, and so you have on the one hand the _ that? yeah, absolutely, and so you have on the one hand the whole i have on the one hand the whole economy, and we talk about this they'll time when we report the gdp figures, all the goods and services we produce, that can be going up when we are getting worse off, there is no direct correlation between the two. what matters more to the people watching this is what is happening to their household incomes, and we all know we are going through one of the worst squeeze on living standards in a0 years. and what they are saying here is that the chancellor can do something about this, he does have options. what they recommended a loosening of fiscal policy. the 0br has said that

fiscal policy. the 0br has said that fiscal policy, i will say what i mean by that, taxing spending policy, that the targets that the chancellor has said himself, they are a political choice, those targets, to get borrowing under 3% of the total value of goods and services we produce. that target can be met and then some within a furious time. in fact, there will be some £i9 furious time. in fact, there will be some £19 billion to spare if things continue as they are at the moment and certain projections are met, so they are suggesting that he could ditch those targets with no harm, loosen fiscal policy and create some investment, because as well as the short term problem, we have a long—term problem. never mind post—covid, never mind the energy crisis, going back to 2007, economic growth has only been about 1.5% even in good times, compared with 2.7% before then, and that is why they are saying they need something to change on a more long term basis,

more public investment, better infrastructure, and therefore hopefully better productivity and better economic performance. zadie smith, lionel shriver and chimamanda ngozie adichie are just some of the recipients of the women's prize for fiction, first awarded in 1996 to amplify female voices in the world of literature. now, the team behind the prize are hoping to launch a new women's prize for nonfiction, motivated by new research that suggests nonfiction books written by women are both less visible to customers and less successful for their authors. joining me now is the novelist kate mosse, who's the founder director of the prize. lovely to have you with us, and i have been lucky enough, you know, over the last few years, to interview some of the women's prize for women's prize for fiction, i almost missed my train stop reading one of the winning books! before we

talk about nonfiction, tell us what the women's prize for fiction has done forfemale authors. the women's prize for fiction has done for female authors. i am delighted. _ done for female authors. i am delighted, not _ done for female authors. i am delighted, not as _ done for female authors. i am delighted, not as you - done for female authors. i —ii delighted, not as you missing your stop, but we cannot claim credit for all the things that have changed in terms of writing for women, but we have certainly been part of a dialogue which says if the majority of novels being published by women, why would they not being reviewed and short—listed, and what we found out, 28 years ago now, was very straightforwardly, there was still an idea that books written by men were for everyone and books written by women were for women. what has happened with the prize for fiction over the last 28 years is that there is always a discussion about women's voices and it has amplified amazing fiction by women into the hands of men and women readers who love it, and the latest figures, in terms of

the engagement, it is about 93 million people over the course of time, whether it is in—person events, hybrid events, social media, our educational trusts, charitable purpose. so that is a lot of people engaging the women's prize! and you're hoping that what it has done for fiction you're hoping that what it has done forfiction it can you're hoping that what it has done for fiction it can do similarly collide for nonfiction. find for fiction it can do similarly collide for nonfiction. and perhaps it is 'ust collide for nonfiction. and perhaps it isjust me. _ collide for nonfiction. and perhaps it isjust me, but _ collide for nonfiction. and perhaps it isjust me, but it _ collide for nonfiction. and perhaps it isjust me, but it feels _ collide for nonfiction. and perhaps it isjust me, but it feels like, i it is just me, but it feels like, whereas fiction was once the absolute star of literature, nonfiction seems to be equally so. it is interesting you say that, i think there has been a shift, there is an idea, these are difficult times, apart from anything else, the idea of an expert who really knows the field, surely we want to read the field, surely we want to read the best and hear about someone who can tell us about climate or faith or history or biography, or whatever it is. so there has been a shift, and more and more women are being

published in nonfiction, it is becoming much more parity. but there is still an idea that men write nonfiction and women do not. when i was a publisher, way back in the day, it was known as the two bs, but now it is much broader, so we did a piece of research last year, the women's prize, into fiction, rather than nonfiction, called men reading women, and only 19% of men admitted, using that word, admitted, ever reading a book by a woman. now, that isjust a bit reading a book by a woman. now, that is just a bit bonkers, reading a book by a woman. now, that isjust a bit bonkers, because reading a book by a woman. now, that is just a bit bonkers, because you will enjoy anything, and may be if we were listening to each other more, we would have a more comfortable lead. but women read books by men, they look at the book and think, is this for me? so this is what the figures showed up, that only a third of books nominated for

nonfiction prizes and winning them by women, that in the research we did, only a third were by women. what tends to happen is that men choose men, women shoes men and women. and i'm afraid to say that only about a quarter of nonfiction books reviewed by women. we want to change that, because readers are missing out, and what about all the women of any age are sitting at home? you cannot be what you cannot see, and prizes put writers in the spotlight. i see, and prizes put writers in the s-uotliht. .., ., ,, ., see, and prizes put writers in the s-uotliht. ., ,, ., ,, see, and prizes put writers in the s-uotliht. ., ,, ., i. ., spotlight. i could talk to you for hours about _ spotlight. i could talk to you for hours about this, _ spotlight. i could talk to you for hours about this, but _ spotlight. i could talk to you for i hours about this, but unfortunately this is the final question of the interview! when is the inaugural prize? latte interview! when is the inaugural rize? ~ . interview! when is the inaugural arize? ., ., ., , interview! when is the inaugural arize? ., ., ., , prize? we have already got the prize mone , prize? we have already got the prize money. the — prize? we have already got the prize money, the trust _ prize? we have already got the prize money, the trust has _ prize? we have already got the prize money, the trust has committed i prize? we have already got the prize money, the trust has committed to i money, the trust has committed to that for 30 years, so we are now talking to sponsors, so if anybody watching would be interested in being part of our family of sponsors, we are looking for sponsors, we are looking for sponsors on the nonfiction side, and

it is notjust a question of honouring women writers, it is about committing to readers, but also about committing to their own staff and bringing them into this global community of 93 million people. so anybody who wants to talk to me, i am always available! i anybody who wants to talk to me, i am always available!— am always available! i look forward to seeinu am always available! i look forward to seeing the _ am always available! i look forward to seeing the shortlists _ am always available! i look forward to seeing the shortlists and - am always available! i look forward | to seeing the shortlists and hearing more about it! kate mosse, thank you very much. the first stamps featuring king charles ii! 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 ath. and royal correspondent sarah campbell is at the british museum for us now. good morning to you, i am at the postal museum, they have set up a new exhibition taking you through royal philately over the years, and this is a stamp you may recognise, maybe not in the colour you are
