widespread frost across the south of the country because we should have more cloud but there should be pockets of frost and fog with any cloud breaks. high pressure with us for the start of the weekend, saturday and sunday both largely dry and the orange colours indicate mild for the time of year. lots of cloud on saturday, limited brightness, probably the best towards the north—east and eastern england, maybe spots of drizzle over western england and wales but most places dry, its value is much higher than expected for this point in february, 11 to 13 or 1a. high pressure brings more dry unsettled weather with quite a lot of cloud and bursts of sunshine towards the north and east of the country on sunday, again in double figures, very mild for the time of year. high—pressure around until the start of next week, if it is rain you want probably wednesday onwards you might be in luck because

1:34 pm
conference, having previously said he'd leave the club if he discovers they had lied to him. city claim they are supported by a "body of irrefutable evidence" in their fight against the charges, which have been referred to an independent commission. it is not a total shock. i think there is a lot of envy around in football and i do extant —— understand that to a certain extent. we have fantastic owners with bottomless pockets. it has been a dream for us as supporters since 2008. lesson, isuppose dream for us as supporters since 2008. lesson, i suppose when i think back to when manchester city had no money and the likes of manchester united could spend however they wanted at roman abramovich bock chelsea, was i envious of the fact that those football clubs could pretty much do what they wanted to buy the best players to help them win trophies? yes, of i was.
1:35 pm
yes, of i was. more on that in the sports desk podcast, available now on bbc sounds. chelsea will face the holders and eight—time winners lyon in the quarterfinals of the women's champions league. the wsl leaders will play the second leg at home next month. arsenal finished above lyon in their group and they will take on bayern munich in the last eight. the two english sides will avoid each other in the semifinals too, with arsenal playing ps6 or wolfsburg if they win and chelsea potentially up against barcelona or roma. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky will address a gathering of more than 30 nations that will be discussing later today how to respond to the prospect of russian and belarusian atheletes competing at the 2024 paris 0lympics. ukraine has already threatened to boycott the games if those athletes are allowed to compete. britain's culture secretary, lucy frazer, has said that russian athletes "shouldn't line up alongside team gb and everyone else on the world stage". the international olympic committee has been trying to develop a pathway enabling russian and belarusian

1:37 pm
everybody would be screaming and talking about. the fact that we are doing that now is testament tojohn coming into the group and given us that freedom. coming into the group and given us that freedom. india have extended their first innings lead to nearly 150, taking control on day two of the first test agianst australia — a meeting of the world's top two sides in nagpur. it's been built on a century from captain rohit sharma and unbeaten 50s from ravindra jadeja and axar patel, whlie australia spinner todd murphy has taken five wickets on his debut. india have finihed the day on 321—7, a lead of 144 runs. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. pep guardiola has started his press conference. pep guardiola has started his press conference. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. four days after two deadly earthquakes struck turkey,
1:38 pm
devastating a large swathe of the south—east of the country as well as northern syria, survivors are still being pulled out of the rubble. in turkey's hatay province a ten—year—old boy was saved along with his mother. nearby, a seven—year—old girl was rescued and taken to hospital. in these pictures, a german search and rescue team pulls a woman from rubble in kirikhan, in southern turkey. she's still alive after more than 100 hours buried under a building. the number of confirmed dead is approaching 22,000. the head of the syrian civil defence group the white helmets has criticised the united nations for its response to the disaster. its day 5. the search operation continues underground. this morning, hundreds of bodies were retrieved from under the rubble. we are no more hearing any voices from under the rubble. so we reached a critical moment.
1:39 pm
we lost the time to find their lives under the rubble. because no aid, no equipment, no—one responded to our call from the very beginning. if aid, if equipment, if a rescue team arrived in the first three days, things would be different. hundreds of lives would be saved. if aid, if equipment, if a rescue team arrived in the first three days, things would be different. hundreds of lives would be saved. but unfortunately nothing came in, so the white helmets depended on their capacity and the community effort to pull lives out of the rubble. we were left alone like we are in the dark age. some volunteers lost their fingernails while they were searching for survivors. and right now, when we first responded, we were full of hope because we heard people, voices under the rubble, but right now we are no more hearing people from under the rubble.
1:40 pm
so we are trying to move to the second level to retrieve the bodies from under the rubble and bury them. and actually the community, for example there is more than 11,000 families who are homeless, more than 30,000 families left their homes because they needed help, evacuation, shelter. these people need to be rehabilitated. they need electricity, opening the roads. but until now, there is no any aid coming regarding the response to the effort. and what you need more
1:41 pm
than anything, it seems. is heavy machinery to movies that have collapsed ? yes. we reached to the country donors to ask them for heavy machines, also spare parts, everything possible to do the job and also to the community. the community before these earthquakes have nothing because most of them were besieged, from aleppo and damascus. they were without anything. they already had nothing and now they have nothing so they need to recover. life will continue and we will need everything. people are homeless, just helpless, disappointed. we ask the united nations to hold the responsibility. the united nations did not contact us, did not reach out to the white helmets, who were on the ground with more than 3,000 volunteers during the operation. they did not contact us or reach out
1:42 pm
to us just to ask what we need. the united nations have the power to activate aid. they said from the beginning that the roads were not in good condition but the road was in good condition because we were receiving a convoy of people who came from turkey, people who died in turkey and we receive them and we buried them. labour has warned the lack of growth in the economy in the final three months of last year should be a "wake—up call" for ministers. the figures were better than many analysts had predicted, but the bank of england still expects there to be a decline later this year.
1:43 pm
labour's shadow chancellor of the exchequer, rachel reeves, said the government needed a plan to grow the economy. i hope that today's numbers are a wake—up call to the government because the economy now is just flatlining along the bottom. we're the only major g7 economy that is still smaller than it was before the pandemic and zero growth is not a success. the government now urgently needs to put in place a real plan for economic growth, as well as tackling the cost—of—living crisis that is affecting so many families and pensioners right now. if you look over the period since before the pandemic, the uk economy is now 0.8% smaller than it was before the pandemic. the us economy is 5% bigger. in fact, the bank of england says that our economy is not going to be as big as it was before the pandemic until 2026, while every other economy has already exceeded the economic levels before the pandemic. so look, this has got to be a wake—up call to the british government. we need a serious plan
1:44 pm
to grow our economy and ensure good qualityjobs all around the country. it's fantastic to meet young apprentices here in bolton today, but the truth is, all around our country we need good jobs paying decent wages and growth in our economy. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, says there is reason for optimism about the economy. well, the fact that we have avoided a recession, in fact we were the fastest growing major country last year, shows there is underlying resilience in the uk economy. but we are not out of the woods, inflation is still much too high, that is causing pain forfamilies up and down the country, which is why we need to stick to our plan to halve inflation. if we do that, and play to our strengths in science and technology, we really can be one of the most prosperous countries in europe. ministers say they have received assurances by every energy firm in britain that they will not forcibly install pre—payment meters
1:45 pm
in the homes of vulnerable customers. changing the meters without a warrant is already forbidden, but a recent investigation by the times found debt agents for british gas had broken into vulnerable people's homes to fit meters. regulator 0fgem has since launched an investigation, and ministers have demanded better practices from energy suppliers. the headlines on bbc news: the uk economy at a standstill — new figures show even though we narrowly avoided falling into recession in 2022, there was no growth at all in the final three months of the year. more than 22,000 people are now known to have been killed in earthquakes in turkey and syria. the united nations warns the full extent of destruction still isn't clear. it is two weeks since nicola bulley disappeared whilst walking her dog in lancashire. now the police are extending their search downstream.

in the area. we have also heard from other drivers targeted around the city. it affects millions, but medical diagnosis of conditions like adhd and autism can be slow or nonexistent. now in the south of england charities and mental health professionals have expressed concern at increasing numbers of people usingthe internet to try to self diagnose. neuro—diversity is big business on social media, this is one place a small fragment of social media content about your diversity has made. i always put a disclaimer that this post is not sharing every possible sign of adhd. molly has more than 800,000 followers on social media alone, so she's careful about your content. although we have adhd, that doesn't make as experts and we aren't doctors. i have a huge responsibility to make
1:52 pm
sure all of my facts are correct because i know that if i don't, it can be very misleading. signs you might be neuro—divergent. despite molly's approach, there are worries some of this content simplifies complex conditions and can encourage people to self diagnose. it was definitely social media that really each kicked off my understanding of difference beyond quirkiness. these are the signs you could be autistic. 23—year—old bethan is officially diagnosed as autistic, but social media once filled that gap and didn't quite fit. yes. i self—diagnosed. i wasn't entirely comfortable doing that. there was part of me that didn't want to take things from other people who in my mind were more worthy. the problem is, in 90 seconds or so, influencers can only skin the surface of the issue, and many things can be taken out of context. it's only ever half the story.
1:53 pm
people sometimes self diagnose because they don't go into the ha rd—core complexities. so why are people self—diagnosing? there are worries this type of content is a substitute, as waiting times for treatment are so long. i talked to someone where they were told their- waitlist was seven yearsj and for a system to say, yes, i totally agree, _ you do need help, you should get an assessment, see you in two, three, four, five years, what kind of- system is that? there are huge advantages to an official diagnosis. it means access to medication or therapy. there are some things in life that we may be able to cut corners with and an autism assessment, adhd is not one othose things. tara says only a professional should be trying to unpick these complex conditions. some people may have a head injury or have had a stroke before. there are a lot of neurological conditions where there could be overlap. one of the first things you can do is go to yourgp.
1:54 pm
they can be the first what we call stepping stone. there is no doubt social media can be a real force for good for neuro—divergent people. if you take comfort from - a self—diagnosis, i think that is absolutely fine. but if you suspect you are, the advices but down your phone. if you are kind to yourselfl and you are willing to give you some breaks, then i think- you will have an easier time of the journey of diagnosis. now it's a song specifically written for people struggling with their mental health. "tell someone" was written by two children at sunderland's mill hill primary and performed by their rock band. it's to mark this week's children's mental health week, organised by the charity place 2be. our health correspondent sharon barbourjoined them as they rehearsed. (pkg) as they rehearsed. # tell someone...# it is a simple but powerful message for those struggling — tell someone.
1:55 pm
written by singers amelia and molly, aged nine and ten. # tell someone...# they hope it will help children talk about their feelings. it is very powerful because you need to tell someone if you feel under the weather. there's a line that says, like, if you're feeling blue, tell someone. and it is just really good. it helps people to start speaking up about their emotions. yeah. one of our friends once was sad and i told her about the song and she just opened up with all of her different emotions. yeah. concern for children's mental health has grown, especially since the pandemic. there were a lot of children with anxiety and there stilll is. all i do is listen. i don't do anything else
1:56 pm
but be there to listen . and i encourage the children to talk to other people. - the whole school approach is what we are working onl is tell somebody and i that is why the children obviously made their song. # tell someone...# the song, performed by mill hill primary school rock band, is to mark children's mental health week. sharon barbour, bbc look north. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. hello there. week because of high pressure dominating the scene, it will be mostly dry. today will be one of the cloudy days and there will be further patchy rain for some of us. the heaviest of the rain will be associated with these weather fronts affecting the north of scotland. there are more isobars here, so it will stay windy again in scotland, after 50 mild and argos for the northern isles. the best of the sun chang will be in the north—east of
1:57 pm
scotland. there will be spots of drizzle for parts of northern ireland, western england and where is. after the cold, sunny start in the south, cloud will build up. it will be chillier in the south, much milder in the north. potentially up to 14 degrees in aberdeen given some sunshine. the light rain and drizzle continued over northern and weston hills. with more cloud across the site it should not be quite as cold over the last few nights. mostly frost free but some pockets of mist and fog. for saturday, this area of high pressure is still with us. it should be mostly dry apart from a little bit of drizzle over weston hills and we will be in the slightly milder air mass for saturday and sunday. a lot of cloud on saturday, some spots of drizzle in southern and weston hills. limited spells of brightness, the best of it in
1:58 pm
north—eastern areas. the wind is lighter across scotland. for the temperature, well above where we should be for this time in february. up should be for this time in february. up to maybe 14 degrees. for part two of the weekend, it is mostly dry thanks to high pressure. variable cloud, a bit of sunshine here and there. temperatures again in the low teens. it stays mild and also dry and settled into the start of the new week. these weather fronts may start to work their way of the atlantic as higher pressure retreats toward the east. it is a dry start toward the east. it is a dry start to the new week with some sunshine around. then there is a chance we could start to see some rain at times from wednesday onwards.
