1:31 pm
of the continent, we are on the periphery of the high pressure, the wind blowing from the south, that means the air is coming from the south, relatively mild. not all that sunny, this morning there was quite a lot of cloud across the country but through the afternoon, sunshine for most, 9—12 the high temperatures around early afternoon. the forecast this evening is generally clear, some plants around ayrshire but generally, dry weather for most, towards the end of the night it will cloud over in northern ireland, dribs and drabs of rain but after the clear night and high pressure it will be pretty chilly. on tuesday you see the southerly wind on the edge of the high pressure, that will be in place across the uk through much of the week but because of these weather fronts, there is a fair amount of cloud on tuesday for northern ireland and western scotland, it may
1:32 pm
be central areas as well so thick cloud could produce rain in belfast and glasgow, just fleeting. elsewhere it's about 13 degrees, generally sunny. tuesday, wednesday and thursday, the high pressure shifts eastwards allowing these weather fronts to sweep in from the atlantic, they will only gradually move in. not an awful lot of rain. by move in. not an awful lot of rain. by the time the weather fronts on wednesday and move across wales and the midlands and the south, it will be mostly fizzling away because it is bumping into high pressure, drying everything out. towards the end of the week, a change on the way, high pressure and moving away and instead we get low pressure so thursday into friday we will see a change in the weather, very cloudy, outbreaks of rain, blustery and severe gales possible across scotland towards the end of the week but interestingly with unsettled

1:35 pm
ireland won the toss and have chosen to bat first. they have just lost a wicket, but are going well and are currently 42—1. the super bowl is one of the biggest events in the sporting calendar and this year it was the kansas city chiefs who came out on top to become nfl champions for the second time in four years. they didn't do it the easy way, though, fighting back to claim a thrilling 38—35 win over the philadelphia eagles. nesta mcgregor was there. the kansas city chiefs locker room bouncing after clipping the wings of the philadelphia eagles. celebration is likely to last well into the night and beyond. those last two minutes, how nerve—racking? minutes, how nerve—racking ? everything minutes, how nerve—racking? everything was on the line, it was crazy. confetti flying, no better feeling than that.—

1:38 pm
"coming to a close". dr mohamed zahid al—masri is from the north aleppo region in syria and with physicians across continents, an ngo which provides medical aid during humanitarian crises. from the day one after the earthquake, all these syrian ngos, we were first to respond on the ground, everybody was trying to support the local people and we should mention that for the last seven days we are alone here in north—west syria. it is unlikely in similar catastrophe to respond alone. the committee is responding alone. the syrian ngos and local community without any support from outside. in our organisation we are receiving in our hospitals, this is one of them, a surgical hospital supported by medical...
1:39 pm
we are receiving a large number of coma cases, and we are treating them, and at the same time, we are working outside in trying to provide life—saving support for the survivors, including blankets, safe water and energy to eat food. the situation here is catastrophic and still deteriorating after one week of the earthquake. what sort of resources and facilities do you have in which to treat these people? today in the north—west of syria we have a number of health facilities, hospitals together, we are receiving a large number of trauma cases, but lucky enough some of our partner ngos, especially from the uk, they were supporting those with generous funds, and this is why we agreed with them to respond not only to the health needs but also in relation to the other vital issues
1:40 pm
that the people who who are surviving are actually in need of it. in this area the temperature now is below zero for the last ten days, people are outside without shelter. 70,000 or 80,000 people, they need shelter now, and in this cold weather we are concerned about their health. our facilities are providing surgeries for the trauma cases and also er intervention, and at the same time, our mobile teams are working on the ground and trying to take care of the children, especially regarding their nutrition, for the elderly, and also for patients with chronic diseases. we are concerned about their safety. at the same time, our facilities are still providing routine health services, including dialysis facilities and even we have a mental health facility which is still providing its services, with more than 120 in patients in it.
1:41 pm
you talk about trauma, what sort of trauma are we talking about? there is obviously the mental trauma, and the physical trauma, the kind of conditions you are having to treat? yes, today we are still concentrating on the physical trauma, but we are actually thinking in a very significant way about the future of the psychosocial, this community is in need of it, in terms of physical trauma, a large number of trauma cases and fractures, and the most about facilities, it is to provide life—saving intervention for these patients. we are expecting in the next one or two months to continue operating on these patients to provide the definitive treatment, and this is more complicated procedures that should be done for these patients, but today we are providing and most of the facilities life—saving interventions, just to treat a larger number of cases and to keep them alive,
1:42 pm
but of course, we are concerned about the psychological status of this community, the survivors and those who lost a large number of relatives and they loved, we are concerned about how much they're going to need in terms of psychological support in order to continue their life. it is scary, for the last 11 years it is already an area of conflict, humanitarian situation and now we have this catastrophic earthquake in north—west syria. the prime minister, rishi sunak, says the government will do "whatever it takes" to keep the uk safe from the threat of spy balloons, but does not say if any have been spotted in uk airspace. it comes as the defence secretary ben wallace says uk will be conducting a security review after the incursion of at least one suspected spy balloon into united states airspace. the prime minister says the uk
1:43 pm
is ready to act if any unidentified objects do appear in our air space. well, i want people to know that we'll do whatever it takes to keep the country safe. we have something called the quick reaction alert force, which involves typhoon planes which are kept on 24/7 readiness to police our airspace, which is incredibly important. i can't obviously comment in detail on national security matters, but we are in constant touch with our we will do whatever it takes to keep the country safe. well, china has accused washington of illegally sending balloons into its airspace. here's our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell with the reaction from china's side. it really is as if we have been catapulted back into the most bizarre days of the cold war, with high altitude spying balloons, with
1:44 pm
unidentified flying objects no less being shot down by fighterjets and with washington and beijing trading various accusations and criticisms. the latest from here is that fishing vessels have been warned by local authorities that they should be careful because one of these flying objects is going to be shot down and they should prepare for falling debris. the foreign ministry in beijing said if anything more becomes available on that front they will let us know, but foreign ministry spokesperson did say today that the us should not go around accusing other countries of illegally entering its airspace because since january last year more than ten us balloons had illegally flown into china's airspace. as for these other objects, the pentagon says it has deliberately not said
1:45 pm
balloons, they have some form of propulsion. they don't know who put these objects in the sky above north america, but they are not at the moment accusing china of doing this. the chinese government says it too does not know about these three extra unidentified objects which have now been shot down over north america. you would have to hope that when the debris comes down that it would be studied and we will be able to find out more about this because it is frankly absolutely strange. nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg is currently giving a briefing to reporters in brussels. he was asked about this story. i think what we saw over the united states last week as part of a pattern where china, but also
1:46 pm
russia, are increasing their intelligence and surveillance activities against nato allies with many different platforms. we state with cyber, we stated more and more satellites and with balloons. that highlights the importance of our vigilance, our increased presence and also that we step up how we share intelligence and how we monitor and protect our airspace. one of the issues we are going to address and decide in the meeting tomorrow is increased cooperation between allies in space, sharing more data, collecting more data also from commercial satellites and sharing that with the nato command structure. that is part of the picture, how we do more to monitor
1:47 pm
and have sufficient surveillance capabilities to protect all of our airspace. cold case detectives from north yorkshire police have arrived in thailand to investigate the death of a thai woman whose body was found in the yorkshire dales in 200a. her identity remained unknown for 15 years until a family in thailand read a bbc story about the case and breakthrough dna testing confirmed the body was their daughter, lamduan armitage. officers are to meet the parents as part of the ongoing investigation into her death, and to assist the family's request to repatriate the body. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head has been giving us the latest. i have to say the family, who live in the north—east of thailand, from quite a poor background, are feeling weary about the length this has gone on and they are a bit confused about what will come out of this. they will not meet this police team from north yorkshire until wednesday. police officers are hoping to talk
1:48 pm
to them about the proceedings for bringing back her remains if that's what they still want, but also to find out more about lamduan herself. they know so little about what led to her death but they believe the circumstances do open the possibility that it was not a natural death and perhaps somebody killed her. that's why there is an ongoing investigation. they want to visit her home town and talk to her family and relatives to see if it gives any clues. she had been living in the uk for a long time when she disappeared and when her body was found in 200a. they also want to try to speak to her husband, david armitage. he and lamduan got married in thailand in the early 19905 and moved back to britain and we believe they were still married at the time of her disappearance. he has never spoke about her death and disappearance in public and he moved back to thailand shortly after her disappearance with the two children. he is now living in thailand.
1:49 pm
that's a very important conversation for the police to have, to see whether that will advance their investigation into why she ended up in that very lonely spot in the yorkshire dales. now it is time to look at some of the story is making the news across the story is making the news across the uk. the news across the uk. an east yorkshire businessman says he can not lose hope and will do all he can to help, even though he has lost ten members of his own family in the earthquakes which have devastated turkey. ali tecke is now collecting aid for survivors. more than 35,000 people are now confirmed to have died since the earthquakes struck in syria and turkey last monday. jo makel reports. what else do you need? honestly, right now, just the clothes.
1:50 pm
the donations keep coming, his phone rings every few minutes. ali's surviving on two hours sleep today, as he co—ordinates help from his restaurant in beverley. but then stopping to contemplate what's happened to his cousins would be hard. ten member of my family, none of them survived. wife and husband, mother—in—law, father—in—law and six kids and we can't even have a funeral, we can't even get together, we can't say goodbye. my mum and dad, brother and sister are safe. however, they, psychologically they are not there. as we talk, his phone starts to ring again. honestly, it is calls, calls, i'm scared to answer them. his family are trying to help on the ground. this is his nine—year—old nephew, offering rescuers hot drinks. in turkish to english
1:51 pm
it is kids clothes. and ali's upstairs rooms are now full of bags of donated items which need sorting, so he can send them out. he needs more boxes, and more storage. anybody who is watching this today, everybody who is listening to us today, i am sure if this was, if they were in my shoes they would have done ten times more. i don't feel i have done enough. i can't do enough. so he will keep going and says he is grateful for every bit of support he's had. jo makel, bbc look north, beverley. london ambulance service workers have been on strike recently over pay and levels of staffing, so bbc london's health correspondent, karl mercer, spent time with two paramedics on shift to see what a typical day is like for them and further identify the concerns they have. there are flashing lights throughout this report and from the start. it's a shift that starts
1:52 pm
and ends in the dark. we're out with two young paramedics to see what it's like to spend 12 hours on a london ambulance. my name's brittany, i'm a paramedic. i've been with the service for about three and a half years now. hi, i'mjames, i'm a paramedic. i've been working for the london ambulance service for 18 months. we've just started shift and just booked on. so let's see what the day brings for us. it'sjust gone seven, and we're off to the firstjob. so we've been dispatched to a middle aged gentleman who's had a fever for five days. hi, it'sjust the ambulance service. the man has a very high temperature. it's decided he needs to be taken to hospital. given how high his fever was, it's probably something that's going to need a quicker course ofantibiotics, possibly through the vein, intravenously, as opposed to kind of oral. britt is one of 400 australian paramedics in london's ambulance service. there's a number of aussies out here and i'm one of them. so a lot of us come over here to get obviously the experience that working in a big capital city,
1:53 pm
a busy one. so we're going to a 44—year—old female. this case too is very familiar. someone with mental health issues in need of advice and support. i think what at the moment we need more of the mental well—being side of things and helping getting those coping strategies in place. for 27—year—old britt and 23—year—old james it's been a busy time of late, with well documented pressure on hospital beds. it kind of means that we can't move people from a&e on to wards as people can't be discharged from wards back home. so that kind of creates bed blocks in a&e. so we've kind of been indirectly getting the pressures kind of put on to our end. as dusk begins to fall, they get an urgent call. so we have been dispatched to a category one call, which is our kind of highest priorityjob. despite two ambulances and a police car being sent, it was a false alarm. the call to a known street drinker
1:54 pm
who'd collapsed but then made his own way off. the next call is the same, to covent garden, and reports of a woman in distress. intoxicated female, - approximately 40 years old. it sounds like spice. the woman refuses help. a frustrating end to the shift, but not an unusual one. karl mercer, bbc london. a foodbank for pet owners has been set up in somerset to help people who are struggling with bills to feed their animals. it comes as an increasing number of people have had to give up their pets as they simply can't afford them. andy howard reports. the donations keep coming. this foodbank, neartaunton, has never had so much stock. but this is a foodbank for pets. every square meal and tasty snack imaginable, all under the watchful eye of security. it works like a human foodbank — those eligible can apply to receive the free meals and it's packed up for collection or even
1:55 pm
local delivery. it's to try and stop stories like daffy and minnie — mother and daughter, we think — who were found abandoned and very hungry. they've put on weight now, as you can see, but they're on sml a day to try and fatten them up. if this type of animals we're seeing coming into us now whether that's because people haven't got the funds to feed their animals or whether they're un educated and don't know how to. just because they don't have the money to care for their animals, doesn't mean they're a bad home. so, giving out free food to those who need it is the plan, because of this animal centre simply can't take any more in. 2022 has doubled, we currently have 35 dogs here at the moment and we've got about 15 cats. i do have a waiting list as well of about 75 animals waiting to come in. and we're also getting a number of strays, strays have
1:56 pm
doubled since 2021 as well, that are not getting reclaimed. last year, we had 100 stray dogs that came in needing our help, so at the moment, it's definitely very busy and we do think it's going to continue to be like this. the dogs' trust charity has published research suggesting one in three dog owners are worried that the cost of living crisis will affect how they care for their pets this year. so, the foodbank will certainly be needed in 2023 to help keep the likes of minnie and daffy well fed and off the streets. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaeker. hello.
1:57 pm
the weather's pleasant enough across most of the uk today. it's also relatively mild. if anything, the temperatures are expected to rise as we head through the course of the week. so let's have a look at the big picture. a large high pressure is dominating the weather across europe, but we're on the edge, the periphery, of this high pressure. that also means that around the high the winds are coming in from the south, very close to these weather fronts, in fact. if the winds are coming in from the south it's relatively mild. but here's that cloud cover across the uk. you can see overcast earlier on across eastern parts of england, but i think by the time we get to the second half of the afternoon it should be mostly sunny across most of the uk. temperatures ten, perhaps 13 degrees in one of two spots. tonight, where the skies clear and the winds will be light we could have some fog forming in eastern, southern areas, into wales too, and it will be fairly chilly. so first thing in the morning, temperatures will be not far off freezing in major towns and cities. in northern ireland and the western isles
1:58 pm
it's a different story. we're closer to that mild current of air coming in from the south on the edge of the high pressure, so it's quite a bit milder. but with that, and being closer to the weather fronts, there will be thicker clouds, so at times, i think cloudy in northern ireland and western scotland. in fact, one or two splits and spots of rain can't be ruled out for places like glasgow and even edinburgh. elsewhere across the country, i think it's going to be a dry day with some sunshine and, again, temperatures 13, maybe 14 degrees in one or two spots. now a middle of the week, the high pressure is going to move towards the east and that will allow these weather fronts to push in from the west. so this is going to be our next spell of rain. moving through western parts of the uk, but by the time this weather front, middle of wednesday, moves through wales in the midlands, it will start to fizzle away. it's too close to the high pressure. the high pressure will basically dry out the weather fronts, so maybe a brief spell of rain,m that's about it. however, as we head towards the end of the week, i think the high pressure is pretty much gone.
1:59 pm
low pressure swings in off the atlantic, the wind strengthens. it could actually turn very windy with gales widely across the uk. interestingly, with those strong winds and despite the cloud and the rain, it is going to be very mild, perhaps up to 15 degrees celsius towards the end of the week. bye— bye.
2:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines: the un says the rescue phase is coming to a close of the death toll nears 36,000 after the earthquake in turkey and syria. also today... after fighter jets shoot down a fourth unidentified object over north america, now beijing claims the us has been flying balloons over china. i think what we saw over the united states, last week, is part of a pattern where china, and also russia, are increasing their surveillance and intelligence activities against nato allies. i wouldn't comment on detail on
2:01 pm
security— wouldn't comment on detail on security matters, but people of the uk
